Claus Lamm was interviewed about empathy, the current fate of the boys in a Thai cave and the fate of refugees

Why do we feel different when we hear about the fate of the boys caught in a Thai cave and the one of refugees drowning in the Mediterranean Sea? Where does empathy come from? What are the influences of the current discussion about a European fortress? Claus Lamm was interviewed about these and other questions in the Austrian newspaper "Der Standard".
