Elon Musk recently went on the Joe Rogan Experience and said, "The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy." And I thought, f*ck that.

In a world increasingly plagued by irresponsible AI usage, unbridled exposure to dangers online, and mind-numbing brain rot content, I think empathy will actually be our savior - empathy is what connects us to the shared human experience, empathy is what drives us to consider other people, and empathy is what keeps our souls intact.

Or something. This is a freewrite, after all.
