Let me share one of my theories with you too, when you go into the ring swinging wildly and with eyes closed, your punches are going to miss. The whol...
I don't really see it but I will reflect on whether I think your interpretation is reasonable or not. I always get called out for using the word ignor...
Your post comes off as very condescending, I don't mind arguing with people but in my experience, it's not very productive discuss things with people ...
Well, I won't say you're wrong, it may be the case that expectations and dreams are the same thing for you. I might dream of being extremely rich but ...
I can give my answers but it's really all a matter of interpretation. Personally, I see freedom as more of an intellectual thing. It's about being abl...
Freedom is both an interpretation as a concept and a feeling but the conditions and nature of each are different. Freedom as a concept means defining ...
I am not presenting criticism in this thread towards empathy as a motivator. If you say the world would be a worse place without empathy, I would not ...
Dreams aren't what's harmful, expectations are harmful. Expectations can ruin people. Balancing your expectations isn't easy, you don't want to expect...
I hope you haven't forgotten I am talking about empathy as a tool for understanding people. Half the people in this thread either forgot or never both...
This is so stupid, hurts my eyes to read. Groups are comprised of individuals, who are not just black men being harassed by police officers. You are c...
Are you serious...? You haven't even understood that you've spent most of your time in this thread arguing against positions I don't have. What a donk...
I don't think obedience entails submission, I think obedience can come out of self-interest, pragmatism, there can be limits to it (aka you aren't sub...
You're the one talking about submission to traffic light rules, you're going to ignore the pragmatic aspect? I didn't think we were talking about anyt...
I don't think that's enough because life would still remain on Earth. Perhaps evolution has led to this moment? Earth created life capable of destroyi...
Does answering your questions lead somewhere? Doesn't appear that way. I probably missed some good ones but I find this funny, perhaps I have a bad se...
Conventionally? You think you follow convention, do you? Do I really need to explain to you that I don't believe in magical powers that people to LITE...
Although talking to you is clearly not going to produce any intellectually stimulating or informative discussions, there is a comedy to you that keeps...
Sexism is a category of many things all and which things are defined by interpretation, which things fit into this category is determined by interpret...
Enough of this... Empathy allows you to understand the perspectives of others? By taking a few select characteristics as a framework and using your im...
Why spouting? Are you serious? Anyway, I mean the issue here is that I don't know how much you've read of what I've written in this thread and how muc...
.... You don't need imagination to understand concepts. Even robots can read human expressions and label them, many of them are universal across human...
Okay but I don't have an expectation of empathy and I just said that. So rather than feeling their pain, we see their pain and sad for them and want t...
Sorry, what do you think is misinformed? You said that empathy allows us to see "pain" in others and see that pain in ourselves, we feel their pain. S...
I am discussing empathy as a tool for understanding people, you talk like you're disagreeing with me but it doesn't seem like you are. Provided you ar...
If you have to use empathy then I agree but I don't think you do. If you don't understand then ask more questions and try to understand but not by usi...
I think you're correct that psychologists need to avoid appearing judgement or analytic, I agree that displays or attempts at empathy are good for dis...
Good question. I'd like at least a plausible explanation as to why you think empathy would overcome the barriers I listed or perhaps some fairly condu...
So answer to your question is, what types of things are people trying to use empathy to understand. We may as well use this quote as a reference... So...
I don't think one ought to try to become happy. Happiness is a product of things you should want. 1. Safety/Security 2. Satisfaction 3. Contentment 4....
Well, I have provided examples as I hoped they would help others understand my views. I have also provided reasons for why I think empathy is a worthl...
I think intellectually you can appreciate that, for instance, nobody wants to be ugly. You can understand that an ugly person will want to try to impr...
I agree. Theorise definition: To formulate theories or a theory; speculate. I think I am being fairly unambiguous in talking about non-mathematical, n...
I am not a solipsist as a result of empathy, it's an epistemological question. I don't really want to go into it here. In some ways it isn't and in so...
I don't agree with everything you said but I'm not criticising empathy as a motivator. Many good things come from empathy as a motivator and I think i...
If you find it entertaining then why should I criticise? If I wanted to learn, for instance, what it's like to be a soldier in war. I could read up on...
This is the kind of empathy that I am criticising, you aren't becoming less self-centred via imagining yourself in others' situations you're just pret...
Empathy promises unrealistic results - even the idea of using it face-to-face implies intuitively understanding things you have no means to understand...
What I am describing is not sympathy and doesn't even necessarily entail sympathy. Sympathy does not involve imagination, it involves feeling badly to...
If it did or didn't. whether your premise is true or not, it is not something you will understand without hard work, evidence and lots of research. Th...
https://www.ibtimes.co.in/indians-most-materialistic-after-the-chinese-report-530795 It is a dangerous thing to use theories and philosophies to know ...
Knowledge is good but we are still merely making educated guesses. Interpretation, personality, experience and many other factors will impact an indiv...
No, you are not submitting. That's like saying if I play chess and follow the rules, then I am submitting to them. It's actually a really dumb way to ...
