I love this idea. I have a pet idea too that's a little different. You know how dogs get fence anxiety which causing them to viciously bark or attack the fence when they see another dog or strange person? Oftentimes, if you open the fence and let them greet the dog or person, they are completely at ease. They just don't like being unable to assess the situation.
I see the internet or driving cars as an example of that. You don't see the human behind the computer or car, you just see the enemy and you act accordingly. I think if you had to meet or see that person face to face, you'd automatically have empathy and no longer be a dick.
- mumblemumble 6y agoAgreed. That's actually one of the reasons why I hate driving, and prefer to use public transit whenever possible. I can feel the experience of being in a car making me less empathetic.
- xeromal 6y agoYeah, A lot of people say I've very friendly and I do my best to be a great human bean, but I definitely road rage from time to time and it makes me sad. Self-driving cars and more public transit can't come any sooner!
