interesting to think of empathy as a skill. I don't have a formal answer, but that is also how I've been approaching it.

theory: those who need it represent a diverse/challenging group, a gauntlet to grow that skill with? Would love data also.

But I break down empathy into two parts: skill in listening/patience, and a penchant for collecting worldviews/models. YMMV

oh, I love this. I sometimes pretend incomprehensible others are rational agents, then try to imagine their objective function

yeah, its a wonderful. I've been shoring that up with trying to imagine what it's like to experience attention differently.

My theory is that a lot of conflict in my personal life are due to different attention weights on things like disgust.
