There’s no need to “project” anything into your stance, you’re putting it all out yourself: if you can’t imagine any benefit to something (which doesn’t need imagination because I mentioned objective reasons that you can’t dispute) for yourself then supposedly there is no possible other valid outlook and no possible benefit for anyone else that doesn’t have your outlook.
That’s the exact opposite of empathy and perspective taking.
