I don’t think there’s any argument I could give you to make you care. Though, I would suggest that you actually already do care at least about some suffering. And maybe you care about being consistent, and therefore are open to certain thought experiments? I’m not sure. I’m a moral anti-realist, or at least a moral externalist about moral motivation.
I really don’t get it. Why should I care about any suffering at all, in the first place? upd: Life is absurd and everybody dies, y’know?

Yes, I do care naturally. But if I don’t find any reason to, I’m going to try to suppress it as much as I can.
That seems strange. Why then bother do anything at all?
I don’t know. The thing that sounds most plausible to me is because I like it and I certainly don’t like to think about sufferings of other creatures.
