Musing on Empathy

Matt Bellamy, lead singer of the rock band Muse, spoke recently about the theme of losing empathy, present in their new single Dead Inside.

Speaking on Radio 1, Bellamy described the song as a modern metaphor for what it is to lose empathy and went on to elaborate,

I think that through modern technology, and obviously through drone warfare in particular, it’s possible to actually do quite horrific things by remote control, at a great distance, without actually feeling any of the consequences, or even feeling responsible in some way.

Empathy Action aims to raise awareness and empathy through our use of interactive simulations; putting participants in the place of those who face extreme poverty every day. Lean more on our simulations page.
