Empathy Quotient

[Silver]

Lack of empathy =/= abundance of logic.

Though strangely less empathetic people do tend to have higher IQs.

Kit, there's lots of smart people about ... Some nice, others arseholes. No connection.

My answer is 42. Yay, Douglas Adams! Maybe a little too non-committal on most questions. I think a 1-10 scale might have worked better?

I'm not sure how to take that statement. Guess I'll just embrace the strange part also.

Life in general is strange. The more we try to understand it, the less we ever do.

Kit, agree.
None of us know or evolved to know how our world actually is.
Just to survive it long enough to reproduce through a "best guess" via our 5 flawed sensors to the outside world.
And then our evolved lizard brain needs to try to make sense of all that information as best we can.

Basically we're all walking blind and oblivious. But we've done ok so far, against all odds.

I'm scared to take it. I already know my empathy skills are not good.

Pffft, empathy is for losers.

What does that make you?
