Prof. Simon Baron-Cohen: Zero Degrees of Empathy

[@actually_autistic]

Simon Baron Cohen, strange how neurotypicals say autistics have a deficit in understanding the feelings of others, but neurotypicals have such a poor understanding of the feelings of autistics.

A real scientist, kind, intelligent, knowledgeable. A role model to the minority of conscienceless scientists. I'd like to apologize on behalf of mankind to the
disabled people and Jews who died under the rule of Hitler.

Could it be that average level of empathy in individuals is best for society ? Those on extreme ends of empathy curve will always be subversive one way or another. Best example is suffering of disabled. There are activist for euthanasia on one side and religious fanatics on the other- I bet they all believe themselves to be champions of empathy.

Religious fanatics act out of dogmatic beliefs not out of empathy. For they totally lack emotional empathy to the suffering that is caused by rigid abortion laws.
