ah.
Enough with this already.
You are being immature and apparently opposed to freedom of expression.
I never attacked you, but simply asked you not to state everything as absolutes while rarely making sense, making statements about me and other members of the forum that proved wrong everytime apparently.
Here's my own assumption: You sir are used to take advantage of the 'artist' status to provide you a socially acceptable ego shield. The latest example being you sending me private messages and calling me a HARASSER FOR POSTING THEM.
I do not have anything to hide and am simply expressing myself.
Making sense isn't a given, nor an obligation.
Yet it is necessary when making firm statements about theories or people's behaviors.
You speak of empathy, of which by the way, you do not seem to fully grasp the biological basis, using a vague idealized and outdated definition.
You describe it as noble yet try, on the same thread, to pass for a victim in a perfectly dishonest way. Calling me lame in private and yet complaining publicly because I dared to answer. Using 'strong words' because you knew the emotionaly negative answer people will have hearing them. Trying to create a bias in the mind of the reader.
Just please, accept to be called a hypocrite. You seem to have a highly idealized vision of yourself, maybe it's time to buy a mirror.
Now for the sake of the argument: We laugh we smile we emotionaly react to others wether we want it or not. We're biologicaly programmed as social animals, which induces both, in our case, advanced social learning and basic emotional attachements and instincts in response to the other members of the social group\species.
More complex behaviors are social based upon social rules and is useful to keep social cohesion\piece within stable groups (family, tribes).
Empathy is a way more basic reaction, mothers for example, use empathy in order to understand their children's needs more efficiently without the use of advanced language. It has an evolutionary purpose, enhancing the survival rate of the newborn. Empathy is also aimed at less related members of the tribe.
A few thousand years ago, social constructs such as tribes were quite small, empathy and its socially more complex and partially rule\culture based cousin (sympathy) helped the gene pool to be passed on to the next generation and by this mean, the survival of the species.
Similar behaviors can be observed in bats notably, sharing fresh blood with other , less lucky members of the group. The bat's limited mental abilities seem to back up the idea of a mostly instinctual and therefore geneticaly defined rather than highly culturaly dependant empathy.
