We already knew his views were wild and insane but killing him for it was a bad idea and cruel to his family and friends (I'm guessing he had some). Metaphorically jumping up and down on his grave is just bad taste. The best thing we can do is consign him to an obscure footnote in history and desist from publishing his views for him.

Please unpack the irony. I'm old, I am no longer fluent in multiply-stacked layers of disingenuity.
You believe that Charlie is wrong about empathy. But you emulate Charlie. Question: What the fuck?
You're just another Charlie of a slightly different ilk. You have to consciously try to learn the right lessons from bad experiences, or you'll become a bad person.
you keep on clutching them pearls
I mean, it's possible to be empathetic and still recognize when a dangerous piece of shit has it coming.
