The obvious umbrella term for this is “empathy,” and that word leads to most of the other implications, as it’s one that comes up in a lot of critiques of neoreaction and of the sorts of people who like to call themselves “rationalists.” But before any of that comes up there’s a very big philosophical statement to make, which is that Alan Turing suggests that the fundamental nature of thought and, by implication, of humanity is the capacity for empathy, in much the same way that enlightenment liberalism suggests that it is free will and Ligotti suggests that it is consciousness.
