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.
^this lol. some other comments are trying to deconstruct the argument normally which is helpful i guess but really OP just doesn’t know the dictionary definition of empathy.
