I don't mind the term “idiot compassion," but perhaps a more descriptive term could be "conceptualized compassion." I work in the mental health field with a large team of wonderful staff and it is easy to spot compassion vs the conceptualizing of compassion. The former is more effortless and comes from the heart, the latter can become easily burnt out. While compassion is associated with authenticity drawing from a wellspring of unconditional love/oneness, conceptualized compassion is of the thinking mind (ego) drawing predominantly from a system of thoughts and beliefs.
