At no point does this #centrist #political #pundit even bother to mention the 10s of thousands dead so far this year thanks to #climatechange. Not to mention the 10s of millions suffering in hellish ways. But #politics is all these folks can see. No sign of #empathy of any kind whatsoever.
Is empathy a less reliable basis for morality than people tend to assume?
A thread on empathy, morality, and autistic reasoning ♾️
Empathy works a bit like a spotlight. It illuminates a certain bit of the landscape – the bit that’s in front of us, or that we choose to see – but not all of it.
That's a problem if we confuse empathy with morality.
(Note: at the end I've explained what I mean by 'empathy')

Autistic people are famously fond of logic, and data.
We’ve also repeatedly ‘failed’ in tests designed to evaluate our empathy.
Tests which I found more interesting as a ‘spot the assumption’ exercise than serious research – or at least, serious research into what the studies professed to be about. I wrote a thread about it: https://mas.to/@KatyElphinstone/116070156336606549

Friendly reminder, just because something is not a problem for you 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 does not mean that something is 𝗻𝗼𝘁 a real problem.

📢 Excited about our (Louisa Kulke & Fatima Felisberti) new paper in Motivation & Emotion! It echoes a theme from my recent ISRE talk: rigorous methods, precise estimates, and theory-driven predictions are essential if we want cumulative emotion science.

"I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I've come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It's the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of #empathy."
— Gustave Gilbert, Nuremberg prison psychologist
I studied linguistics and communication because I wanted to help people understand each other. 🌸
Now I live in a world that desperately needs translation, empathy, and honest communication... and so many people have simply decided they'd rather hate, mock, belittle, and attack.
The fuck, really.
Anyway. I'll keep translating. I'll keep communicating. Someone has to. 💜

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I really think sadism against bad guys is not a good thing to indulge in at all! All it does is make you more like them, it actively impoverishes you! Don't give in to the urge! You will be better off for it! Please cultivate sympathy even for the worst if you don't want to end up just bringing yourself down to their horrific level. I am begging you, I am begging you, I am begging you! Please do not do this, you are throwing your soul into a burning pit of garbage for quick laughs. Know that whoever replaces him is just going to be another republican of equal depravity, so his death will be in vain anyways. "Diddly dong, the mitch is dead" is fun to say but will just make you into a cold monster. Knock it off! All you are doing is hurting yourself! You guys are hurting yourselves! Mitch McConnell is unaffected by dancing on his grave, whilst you are degraded. @anneguisinherba@universeodon.com @Natsura@catgirl.center @TidalFlats@mastodon.coffee @HappyCrow13@mastodon.social @em_and_future_cats@mastodon.social @jhooper@techhub.social @Oldfartrant@mstdn.ca #sympathy #compassion #empathy #kindness

In a world that moves so fast, it’s easy to feel like your voice gets lost in the noise. But your story matters, and your feelings are entirely valid. You don't have to carry it all by yourself. 🤍 If you are looking for a space where you can simply be, without judgment, my doors are always open. ✨ Learn more about my holistic coaching sessions at the link in my bio. 🌿

Do you ever think about what the world would be like after just one generation where every human child was treated well? By @bethsawin@mstdn.social

Most people think empathy is about being nice. It's not. It's about understanding how other people see and feel things — well enough that you can actually work with them, not just around them. And here's what surprises people: empathy is a skill. Which means it can be developed. The leaders who develop and practice empathy are consistently more effective than the ones who don't.
