    It’s almost like we spent millions of years evolving as social communal animals. Almost like we evolved …wait for it…

    Empathy. /gasp

      We’re not very good at it. Lots of ways our empathy systems can be hacked.

      Take the Kuleshov effect where a broodily staring man is edited with a secondary image which completely changes most people’s reading of the internal feeling of the person.

      It’s not a perfect system.

          How did you experience the video on that wikipedia page? For me the face of the man had the exact same expression in all shots. But that might be my alexithymia.

          How would a single person evolve at all? At least your lack of intelligence and compulsive urge to downvote what’s beyond your understanding certainly is not a medical condition. Nor can it be helped. An asshole will always remain an asshole.
