That's not actually impossible.

There exists drugs which are called "empathogens", as in "generating empathy".

Psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, they all belong to that group.

I'm strongly of the opinion that if all hateful billionaires and other arseholes were made to get a little empathy forced down their throat, we'd be much better off.

Like the "pretty obvious when you think about it" accords.
