A news anchor on CNN had a theory about how as a society, we are becoming less empathetic because of our tendency to have more and more online relationships.
Just look at the people on Twitter and even here on HN. You act very differently than you would in real life. I almost wonder if there is something to this and has an effect on some people, which leads to less empathy in real life.

I guess HN really is going down hill. I wasn't trolling at all and genuinely had some thoughts on the topic, and I am downvoted with no comment.
