The major issues with empathetic thinking is emotions get in the way of reaching logical conclusions.
For instance, if someone is really angry when talking to someone, their emotional thinking may ruin their relationship with them.
Instead, people should use logical thinking as opposed to empathetic thinking. This way, someone can make the best choice available to them at the moment.
I think it’s more that the opinion is poorly conveyed / thought out.
Empathetic thinking is something completely different than what OP is describing. In fact, it’s almost the opposite.
Personally I come here for the well-argued but wholly blasphemous opinions, not hot takes or rants.
