  • Okay, so we at least agree that you can feel empathy towards someone without having to understand them well enough to know how they’re going to respond to something even before they do. I’m still confused why you brought that up, since I never claimed to have 100% true™ full chonglibloodsport-certified empathy for every person on the planet.

    And I’m pretty sure only a psychopath would feel absolutely no empathy towards someone they don’t know - you will at least empathize regarding common human emotions, e.g. I don’t need to know some random chinese couple to feel happy if I see a husband running to hug his wife in an airport.

    So what’s your point? You’ve already walked back that you need to understand them well enough to know how they’re going to respond to something even before they do.
