Nope. That's the wrong explanation for empathy. This won't be popular. Empathy forms in environments where individual outcomes are determined by group perception. Everyone romantacizes it's benevolence but it's really all about manipulating people. Empathy is actually on the rise. Compassion on the other hand...
- bootload 12y ago" Empathy forms in environments where individual outcomes are determined by group perception." Can you give some examples or cites for this. I can give lots of real-world examples where self concern is second and group put first. Animals in nature and humans in groups. This is from an anthropology observational point of view. "Oh so you were perceiving them then? ;)" Animals in nature, yes. Humans in real-life under stress, yes.
