Agreed, but it goes deeper than emotion. They are philosophical zombies with a tint of solipsism. Their mental process (which includes political ideas) consists of the conjectural question "how would I behave if other people besides me actually existed?"
This mental process is excellent for social nesting and raising their children (an extension of themselves). It is positively miserable for maintaining a cogent civilization.
That doesnt seem like a problem at all. Empathy is part of why western civilization is so much better than robotic civilizations like china or barbaric ones like african states. That question sounds like the age old "treat others as i would like to be treated."
Empathy and altruism, which stem from emotion, is only bad if it passes into pathological territory like it has for the west. Disregarding statistical facts and trying to treat everyone as if they are inherently nice and good. That a hug will bring world peace.
No, we agree. It's good when women behave like women, but when they attempt to take up the roles of men, they usher in the pathological and, frankly, apocalyptic scenario that you describe.
