Because humans are fucking dumb and can only hold enough space in their primitive fucking brains for one tragedy at a time. A million tragedies is incomprehensible (and probably fucking should be).
Depends what you mean by “view.” If you mean to quantify, then sure. If you mean to empathize, then no, I don’t believe statistics is a good framework.

If the goal is to minimise overall human suffering is statistics not a better framework to view such things?

Better view in the pursuit of minimising human suffering. To target the most important things to achieve the greatest good with the lowest expence.
I respectfully disagree.
I empathise with you being wrong but objectively you are. What use is that?
What use is empathy in changing human behavior? If you’re not a bot, I don’t know what is.
