Recently, ppl are disparaging of the empathy bit, implying it lacks reason & principles as tho these things cannot work together.

If you want to understand pro-lifers or racists, do you really need to know how they feel?

Do you like Jonathan Haidt? He has been mind-changing for me. I can understand & empathise a lot more now & it works!

Pro-life comes from the care-harm foundation usually but ppl think it comes from the authority/subversion so they can't address it.

Would Haidt's data not be sufficient for you to change your approach when communicating with political opponents?

I don't understand? Not without empathy. It gave me empathy coz it enabled me to see things as coming from a good place.

He doesn't have data on specific interactions that I have. He just gave me an understanding which allowed me to communicate better.
