RE: Empathy Is Bullshit
Trying, however incompletely and clumsily, to mirror in your head how somebody you know might feel, by observing well, could make you better at finding out what is wrong, enabling you to care better. But I will admit that is perhaps not the usual definition of "empathy".
Dogs do the exact same thing. Babies also do it. If they see their mom in distress they also cry but it doesn't mean they have empathy. We trained dogs to be perfect mirrors of us. This is why they seem so "human" sometimes
