What I notice here is a wide difference between people claiming to be right versus those claiming to be left
It appears to me that right-identifying people have far less empathic understanding than lefties.
So when, as one example, a Lefty says something like
"The reason the terrorists attacked WTC on 911 was because they saw that structure as being the capital of the West."
The leftie is trying to put themselves in the mindspace of the terrorist to understand who they are what motives them, etc.
But to those lacking empathic abilites, the ONLY WAY a person can think LIKE a terrorist is if that person IS a terrorist or terrorist SYMPATHizer.
Empathy is, incidently one of the FORMS of intelligence that are inate in the species (It's more typically called interpersonal intelligence)
But if one is deficient of that kind if intelligence, when other people use it to intuit what motivates others, one isn't likely to get their point.
Basically, its like one group can see in color and the other group doesn't believe its even possible.
yes without the full range of human emotion one is an incomplete human.
such as sociopaths
