Suicidal Empathy: A Libertarian Autopsy
Saad's Suicidal Empathy names a real pathology: institutional capture of empathy producing moral inversions across domains. The libertarian frame goes further. Both his cold-rationalism cure and the progressive empathy machine share the same structural disease: centralized architecture that predictably captures whatever virtue runs through it. The actual cause is the engineered erosion of local civic institutions that build trust at human scale. Build those, or watch the wall fall.
