Could you spread all the empathy across everyone evenly, and then increase it by about 10%?
All the empathy in the world (+10%) is spread "evenly" to one person at a time, randomly, every minute of the day:
collapsed inline media
I said spread, not share. One would not consider peanut butter spread on bread if you put it in one glob and then picked up and moved the glob somewhere else.
"Spread" indeed implies but does not entail that it happens instantly. For instance, Bill Gates could say that he "spread riches among the poor" without mentioning that he did it slowly, over decades. There's a grammatical ambiguity to be exploited.
Not if he gave $1 million to one person, then took it away and gave it to someone else.
Realistically, this just means draining the 1-2 people with empathy (Jane Goodall and... that's probably it?) and spreading it across 8 billion people.
So you don't have any empathy?
Well, "basically just me and Jane Goodall" lands a little differently.
