Empathy = objective.

Yes.

I never looked at it that way, but by golly, I think you're right.

So we need a rational basis of empathy not just empathy. - Of course. Empathy can be either spontaneous occuring, or it can be a deliberate practice. - Empathy is to imagine oneself as the other life-form, experiencing what the other person is experiencing or will experience, and observing the effe...

The Hook

From back in the olden days not so long ago, when offensive was funny.

Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed

Anything that recurs, first must occur. - The first occurance of something is the creation of that something, not the recurrance of that something. - After the occurance happens the first time, then for reality to correlate with the concept of eternal,...

Until you wake up it's pointless reading your stuff. This is not a rare occasion of your failure to not meet expectations. No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.
