Raw LLM Responses

If you don't mind me offering an opinion. I think perhaps he might mean compassion on a whole. It's the idea of 'Will you do what needs to be done?' except on a species-wide scale. So we showed compassion to the persecuted of WWII because they deserved the compassion that we had to offer, and giving it to them would not detriment the world or the human race. However, say we could find a cure for cancer but we would require rigorous human tests that caused intense pain? Would we be willing to have 'compassion' for the many, rather than those who would suffer? The idea of compassion would not be showing kindness for the sake of showing kindness, but putting one's moral ideals aside to better the human cause.
