"Racism, misogyny, anti-Semitism, bullying, and even child abuse are grounded in a profound lack of empathy. Unfair, cruel, targeted, and dehumanizing acts occur when empathy is blocked and natural human bonds are severed. As seen tragically throughout history, and in the present day, it is well-documented that brains can be trained from childhood to put others into the 'out-group' where their natural empathy is erased."![]()
