Compassion is well known to be biased in various ways (towards people more similar to you, attractive people, etc. - not even speaking of towards e.g. your relatives and friends) and completely scope insensitive; and is also plausibly completely irrational. If you want to base it on compassion, /stay away from my social policy/.

Compassion can be trained to extend further (see the Buddhist tradition, or the recorded words of Christ).

> Ultimately, humanity is one and this small planet is our only home, If we are to protect this home of ours, each of us needs to experience a vivid sense of universal altruism. It is only this feeling that can remove the self-centered motives that cause people to deceive and misuse one another.

> I believe that at every level of society - familial, tribal, national and international - the key to a happier and more successful world is the growth of compassion. We do not need to become religious, nor do we need to believe in an ideology. All that is necessary is for each of us to develop our good human qualities.

That may be true on individual level, but has no bearing on developing policy for masses of people who won't undergo this training.

Gladly, because if you feel that way, then your social policy is just going to hurt people but try to spin it with isolated feel-good examples.

I don’t want to hurt people, so I would happily not endorse or engage with your type of social policy, and will advocate everyone else to do the same.
