  All the empathy in the world (+10%) is spread “evenly” to one person at a time, randomly, every minute of the day:

    I said spread, not share. One would not consider peanut butter spread on bread if you put it in one glob and then picked up and moved the glob somewhere else.

      “Spread” indeed implies but does not entail that it happens instantly. For instance, Bill Gates could say that he “spread riches among the poor” without mentioning that he did it slowly, over decades. There’s a grammatical ambiguity to be exploited.

  Realistically, this just means draining the 1-2 people with empathy (Jane Goodall and… that’s probably it?) and spreading it across 8 billion people.
