> The post starts by saying that discussing whether they have subjective emotion is a waste of time

"Empathy and understanding for the human condition" is not an emotion. As the post I responded to said, it's an objective thing, not subjective.

The post speaks of "subjective experience of reality", not "subjective emotion". Both the emotions and the non-emotions listed would fall under that category.
