  1. Empathy flows in all directions. Prejudice is a polar or you might say bipolar or dichotomous expression that is actually based in the survival instinct. This is a result of a nervous system that is largely based on the pragmatism of natural selection and is constructed upon the polar charges of ions on a cellular and hormones on a systemic level. People like to think that their opinions and attitudes are based on the rationalizations that they present in retrospect. A person who sympathizes with the downtrodden in whatever guise yet is intolerant of those they view as the dominant or the benefactors of the dominant culture, may be sympathetic, but they are not empathetic. Which is really too bad. The world needs more empathy just because empathy is omnidirectional, neutral, and aspires to objectivity. Democracy Now is a good example of prejudicial sympathy and lack of empathy. Of course they are as reactionary as Fox News, but in a so to say opposing direction. I for one am sick of both the left and the right, and quite in favor of letting the best real science determine the course of human endeavour. Unfortunately at the moment this is only possible through the efforts of people like Elon Musk who are both science based, and have enough capital to pursue the real significant problems of the human race. The first and forermost of which is to survive another extinction event by generatiing a self-sustaining colony off-earth. He is not doing this for his own benefit you know. The second most important thing is to end global warming. So far Tesla is the best bet to decellerate the rate of global warming, and has opened their patents to their competition to use free, becasue Musk is more concerned with getting ride of internal combustion engines than dominating the competition. Real actions for real threats. The golden destiny of humanity lies in the stars -- so my general comment to people is to "get over it."
