      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.

      Yes, true. But I'm not sure you need need empathy to realise this.

      I do. Perhaps other people can work it out intellectually & analytically.

      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.

      I see what you mean. I read a few pieces on effective communications recently. But many on the left see it as tone policing

          *must take. But quite often you can even mollify those ones have a productive conversation. Well, sometimes.

          But I don't know what to call that process of trying to get into other ppl's heads & make a conversation work coz it is emotional.

          But its not taken over by emotion. Still driven by same principles & same aim to get ppl to shift a bit from an extreme position.

          I made this point to an pro-choice campaigner once, and she said I only say this because deep down I'm against abortion.

          Yes, this won't change their minds at all. This is one of my things for posting when I've given up. Apparently, I scold then.

          Mostly I want us to walk away and not feel we must endure verbal abuse to be true allies to causes we hold dear.
