Everyone needs to be in a safe environment and have someone teach them empathetic.
Not understanding that, especially if you were lucky enough to be safe and have someone teach you…
Is a million times worse. And usually just means you’re not really empathetic, just a veneer of it.
If someone is actually empathetic, they don’t need to ask rheyorical questions about why some people have zero empathy.
That’s literally what empathy is, which I honestly think might be the root of your confusion. You don’t know what the actual word even means, you’re just going off how others use it without understanding it.
Doctor Viktor Frankl and the entire field of logo therapy would disagree with you. Part of our entire motivation for life is finding meaning, empathy is one of the more basic ways we help ourselves find that meaning. Evolutionarily speaking altruism is pretty beneficial for members of a social species such as us.
Most humans are naturally empathetic, and it’s such a core feature that nothing can strip that away from them
And you say “neuroscientist” because that sounds modern, but guy was in his late 30s during WW2, neuroscience was barely a thing back then.
No one cares about quack cults.
Edit:
Like, literally most cults are built off that. A charismatic person has delusions while going thru something unspeakable, and people inspired by the leaders survival (even if by luck) just believe whatever rationalizations the leader says.
Do you actually believe that shit or did you just do a lazy Google and fall for it at a glance?
Can you give more fucks and in the right direction?
The concept of empathy was first introduced by aestheticians in the mid-19th century. They used the German word “Einfühlung” to describe the emotional “knowing” of a work of art from within, by feeling an emotional resonance with the work of art.
Just because the concept was talked about as Empathy in the 19th century by some German scientists doesn’t mean shit about the actual concepts integration in our species.
Sliced bread also wasn’t sold in stores until the 20th century, but people were slicing bread long long before that.
From your article:
In the past, empathy was considered an inborn trait that could not be taught, but research has shown that this vital human competency is mutable and can be taught to health-care providers
I never said anything about the ability to develop or not develop empathy later in life. I said it’s mostly a natural trait. There are many reason for prosocial behaviors, and it’s mailability varies from nature to nurture.
The man had a doctorate from the University of Vienna, and was a practicing psychiatrist for several years before WW2. Look up his work at Steinhof Psychiatric Hosptial in the years prior to World War II. He saw thousands of patients in a clinical setting, and continue on the form theories. I don’t care about your opinions of his field or not.
I never referred to him as a neuroscientist, and I didn’t disagree that empathy could be also taught in some way.
So have fun making up imaginary arguments to try and defeat.

Nope, best of luck.
Lmao, exactly.
They didn’t know what the fuck they were doing back then.
Enjoy the newfound religion though, weird choice to choose this community to spread it.
Fair enough buddy, good luck to you and your general outlook
