Great compilation. Despite all of the things that people wish could be moving more quickly, or the things that people feel were promised and in this short time haven't been delievered, I feel that having a president willing to "come to the table" has done more for diplomacy and our global standing than any previous administration in my time.
Heather, Obama has mentioned empathy more than any president in history I think, he has talked about building bridges between parties, and I am delighted about all of this. It's a hell of a change from the last decade. Hopefully he will be able to do more than clean up after the last administration.
Jx one of the interesting things about empathy is that it can be used to reveal nothing about the person who is using it, while exposing vulnerabilities in others. As a weapon for the fearful it can be quite handy.
I gave some thought to that too. I'm trying to figure out when I might engage in evil to do good. I'm still looking for the chance to try. But then again, maybe I shouldn't take McNamara's advice.
One of the universal principles (laws of nature) that I am learning about is stated like this: "You can't achieve a worthy outcome with unworthy means." Even so, I do find this idea of McNamara's to be interesting. I think a strong argument can be made either way.
Kaspar hand wringing leaves me frustrated when what is needed are solutions. I have yet to see empathy in our political system, all I see is politics and campaign promises. Empathy in my day to day life consistently results in synergy and solution finding happens without much effort at all.
Words are poor tools to describe the quality of fearlessness which exist between people who have chosen to connect in such a natural way.
There's a word for someone who doesn't have empathy -- its called "Asperger's Syndrome". I am somewhat relieved that my president doesn't have that sort of a handicap.
Uh ... according to the definitions, Aspergers is a *subset* of autism that is specifically oriented around lack of empathy. They are not the same thing and people with autism may have symptoms other than lack of empathy.
So I'm pretty sure I've got it right.
I mean obviously I am making a hyperbolic statement, but the point is that politicians who say that nonsense are essentially endorsing the behavior of people with Aspergers syndrome.
When we ask the question 'Do People with Asperger's Syndrome Have Empathy?'
The answer is simple -- it depends on the meaning of "empathy"
It's true that those with Aspergers are likely not to be good at reading body language cues, etc...BUT their degrees of empathetic response can be greater than or less than those of the rest of us.
The thing that bothers me is idea that because they are thought to lack empathy, they can sometimes be stigmatise and that's doesn't seem fair.
When they do an Orwellian double speak on the word 'empathy', you just have to dispair! Consensus and empathy should be allowed to be what they are...and not preverted into double speak for discord and selfishness...
Yes, empathy is 'seeing the other person's humaness and the way we see the humanness if by seeing the needs without these enemy images clouding that...It's not easy to do that.' [Who was the man who said that btw?]
That is Marshal Rosenberg. He invented Non-Violent communication, and the center for non-violent communication. He is to empathy what MLK was to the civil rights movement. This man is a living Ghandi, that is no overstatement. If I could master only one thing in life I would choose to master living in harmony with the principles of NVC.

Couple of days ago, Iwatched the documentary "The Fog of War" Robert McNamara (recently deceased) sets out his 11 lessons of war. Lesson No 1:
Empathize with your enemy.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. I did like your video, especially orrin hatch saying "empathy" is a code word for activist.
I find it interesting how I disagree with almost everything that comes out of his mouth.
jx14aby 2 years ago
Jx I totally misread what you wrote, the art of war is what my brain saw when what you wrote was the fog of war :-)
I looked up the eleven life's lessons and I am a curious what your reaction is to number nine: "In order to do good, you may have to engage in evil"
Curious notion.

Wow! Never heard that before. But I like it.
Sounds like, "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'.

Unfortunately because of the complexity of things,empathy most of the time results in only hand wringing and sympathy.

I stronly disagree that it's possible to label those who suffer from Asperger's Syndrome as NECESSARILY lacking in empathy.
Watch:
/watch?v=46ycu3JFRrA
The woman in this video has a form of high functioning autism, similiar to Asperger's Syndrome, and she is has the ability to give empathy....
Personally, I think that humane slaughter is an oxymoron but I'd rather have Terry making the decisions than some bloodless corporate exec.
IOW I just don't think labelling works!
