ensure that empathy is augmented as much as — or more so than —
intelligence. And as there is a neurological basis for empathy, that’s
a fairly safe approach.

Cool Idea that can easily get more complex. Imagine that connections are found between the Intelligence neurons and the empathy ones. Will they be reinforcing ? ...inhibiting ?
