  • Etymology

    A borrowing of Ancient Greek (empatheia), literally passion feeling, coined by Rudolf Lotze to translate German Einfühlung. The modern Greek word has an opposite meaning denoting strong negative feelings and prejudice against someone.

    If the OPPOSITE is prejudice against someone, then empathy is prejudice FOR someone. This is BIAS. This is NOT what an impartial judge is supposed to be, Having a judge who is passionate about one side or the other is plain wrong

  • How does Empathy = Bias? One can be empathetic without political agenda. Human beings are supposed to be able to relate to and understand one another regardless of ideology or political affiliation,.

  • Empathy = Bias = Partiality. Perfect Judge qualities.
