    I’m assuming you mean that thing where people can imagine what another person feels?

    I have a hypothesis: they do imagine what others feel, but they imagine it wrong. For instance, a transphobe might try to imagine what it’s like to be trans, but the closest to that they can get is doing it for shits and giggles or for perverted reasons, so that’s what they think it must be like.

    Of course, most logical evidence would disprove that, but empathy (feelings) trump facts to some people.

    We can’t have tyranny of the majority, that’s why we should give me (numerically a minority) veto powers so I can stop mob rule. By complete coincidence the current arrangement works well for me and I might veto everything that would interfere with that. This is true democracy!
