A fictitious story that assumes peoples' behavior against those they cannot feel being inexplicable violence in no way what so ever reflects on rational reality in any way.
People already don't feel others' pain and most see the benefit in not mistreating other things, let alone other people.
Also, why the flying fuck would people break in to feel something vicariously that they were already directly feeling via the drug's effects?? That short story is illogical even within its own universe.
yeah that story just reeks of "oooo look how smart i am, people bad!"
fuck off with that shit, humans are pathologically empathic and will risk their own lives to save wild animals
