I mean, there’s a reason they feel they have to set up all those experiments intended to demonstrate our lack of empathy, and it’s because they really need some, from their charges (victims), for exactly their punitive discipline.
.
They think they’re being the grownups, doing the hard but necessary thing by abusing children and Autistics “for their own good,” and they don’t want any more trouble about it, it’s already the hard thing. As I always say, the punishment cult turns everything upside down, the professional child abusers of the ABA industry think they are owed their victims’ empathy, such is their built in, mad faith in the violence of punishment.

the bloody frustration of having to defend your empathy from “scientists,” who use the word without the required object, from “doctors,” who don’t know how words work.
.
Empathy FOR something, is how that word works. It’s not some binary that you just HAVE or don’t free of context of an object.
.
And when they do this, it’s a rhetorical trick, it’s because they can’t say what the object is, because it’s something technically immoral and probably illegal, something that doesn’t win them any moral arguments. So it’s just, “You don’t have empathy,” which is less harmful to them than, “You don’t have empathy for my abuse (probably of you).”

"When we forget others, our oblivion invites indifferent kings to rule us, to envelop us in their bottomless grievance. If nothing matters but the golden prize, then why not admire the people who cheat, who grift, who blame others? When we accept that outcome is everything, we forget the human motives that lead people to strive, and to hurt."

~ Timothy Snyder

13yo and I just finished watching Star Trek: TOS episode "The Empath." I immediately went down an internet rabbit hole and discovered an article on how deeply relevant this episode is in our world today:

The "dichotomy between the Vians' cruelty and Gem's quiet strength reinforces a recurring theme in 'Star Trek'—true power lies in empathy, not domination."

I remember that and still viscerally recall the firestorm that broke out on the #Debian mailing lists.

I am not a fan of #SystemD. While I recognize that Linux's implementation #SysVInit needed replacing, SystemD was not the right solution.

Even if there is some kind of "correctness" to it, the design is not based on #empathy or nor did it improve upon the user experience. It is a case study in the failure of not using design thinking.

We went from:

service $SERVICE start

To:

systemctl start $SERVICE

Why couldn't it be:

start $SERVICE

Of course, the additional info when checking a service's status is valuable and certainly an improvement, HOW it was implement is my biggest criticism. Also, SystemD sprawl. Poettering's terrible attitude didn't help either.

"Epstein connections or not, one thing ALL of Trump’s complicit toadies have is a disdain for empathy. ... Pam Bondi’s stock portfolio is up, so it’s downright offensive to suggest she should give one turd about any other thing on God’s green earth! Think of the children, how dare you not think about her bank account?"
