Brilliant post, thank you. We see the effects of this in skyrocketing family estrangement as well as the decline in friendships. Toxic politics and cancelations also make many drawn back from others in fear and suspicion. No pill or therapy session can solve these issues, but pills and therapy make some people very rich. Time to call this boondoggle out for the scam it is. Well done.
I would actually say today we as a society have plenty of empathy. Unfortunately, it happens to be of the one-sided, weaponized, and divorced-from-reason variety these days. "Dark Empathy".
I have found that a combination of therapy, low dose antidepressants, and living a purposeful life filled with deep connections has resolved many of my complex issues. I understand that meds are over-prescribed. They are not the cure, but tools that can be used to assist in healing, at least in my experience. Thank you for your post!

Bro, it's clearly social media and narcissistic parenting and fluoxetine and methylphenidate
Great writing. Great insights.
