Do you have any evidence that the empathy free institutions you would implement would somehow be free of fraud and generate better outcomes?

You are using words like 'rational', 'dispassionate' and 'coherence' when what we are talking about with empathy is adding information with which to make the decision. Not breaking fundamental logic. In essence are you arguing that a person should never consider anyone else at all?

What is the evidence that empathy exists to short-circuit reasoning? Empathy is about understanding someone else's perspective.
