The thoughts in my head of what woupd actually happen if it came true are scary and depressing. I couldn't put it into proper words. Now I nees to go find a distraction.
Best I can do is a demeaning money booth for random homeless people.
What kind of memes would that involve?
You just need to make it sexy
Empathy is sexy.
if a hookup showed me empathy, I'll melt into a puddle and stick with them as if someone replaced the lube with cyanoacrylates.
Great idea! Here, I'll start:
People need to understand that there is a difference between empathy and sympathy, and the former does not imply the latter. Empathy simply means understanding where a person is coming from (i.e. their motives), it does not require that you agree with them.
it does not require that you agree with them.
If only more people understood this, the world would already look so much nicer.
I'm not sure it would look nicer, but at least it'd be more honest.
Precisely. Like I realize that people who want my family deported or murdered are fully human and have a similar experience of physical reality as I do, but that understanding their perspective doesn't mean I agree with them, or lead me to believe I shouldn't defend myself against their intolerance.
Understanding that everyone else is also human is really just the ground floor of empathy. You can go so much further than that.
Yeah, like the certainty that if I had been subjected to identical conditions as those that brought an antagonist before me, that I would not have deviated by one atom from their path, and would find myself in the exact same shoes, clothes, skin, mind, and soul.
And we're still just talking about human minds.
Viral trends need to work for the majority of people or they cannot spread. Has the majority enough critical thinking capacity to turn it into an ability?
Maybe start with creating a place where people with empathy and critical thinking abilities can meet.
