Reversal of empathy deficits?
Why are you so keen to change what people are? As Markus suggests, being content with who we are is much less damaging than wearing a mask, to make other's content with who we are; not that that is even possible, unless they're content with who they are, and that kinda defeats the reason for a mask.

You just need a thesaurus, some of my sentences are just the set up to, or just jokes. I wish I was special...

Strange that, the closer we get to disaster on this planet, the more money we spend trying to get off it.

Possible improvements to the education system
Indeed, we have to start with the fundamentals, for instance what physics expert can repair/build a car? First, we have to understand the limitations of knowledge as it pertains to understanding the human condition.

Possible improvements to the education system
A friend of mine once said "never go to the next lesson, until you've understood the last" it's the curse of knowledge that you think there's a "deeper understanding"; there is just understanding, some do and some don't; a good teacher improves the number that do and struggle's with those that don't. A good student just struggles.

BLM, Capitol Riot, Hypocrisy and False equivalency -Split from: Blow to US Democracy
For the rest of us it means, let's try to understand our fellow human's before we cast them/and us into Dante's Devine comedy.

BLM, Capitol Riot, Hypocrisy and False equivalency -Split from: Blow to US Democracy
Neither, the police are quite adept at inspiring violence at an otherwise peaceful protest. Like I said, the difference is the intent on the part of the protester's and I think there's little doubt the Trump army intended violence, when they descended on the capital, because they didn't get their way in the polls; so no, the two aren't equivalent. You can't/shouldn't just dismiss a legitimate protest because some of them defended themselves when attacked. Violence is never Ok, is more of an excuse to deny legitimacy in this context; I have every sympathy with pacifism as an ideal, but then I've never been attacked for waving a banner. The difference is, they used that motivation as an excuse to be violent, rather than a reason to protest.

In answer to the topic title; the difference is intent. BLM had banner's that explained why they're protesting... And the easiest way to discredit that explination, is to provoke violence...

Our perspective of the Sun
That's really interesting, because there is no evidence in history, that anyone thought the earth was flat; it's a modern phenomena.

Yes, they are; I didn't mention the height of the step. 😉

If they walk backwards from the start (testing at each step, how level it is), until the start can't be seen, then climb one step; then, as if by magic, the start is visible. 🤣 You should read their bible, "Disc World" by Terry Pratchett.

Thanks, glad I asked, shame I don't know any, sound's like it might be quite a laugh. 😆 Off the top of my head, you could mention the test track of one of the German car maker's, it's so long and level you can't see the end, until you climb up an ordinary step ladder.

I have never debated with a flat-earther, I've often wondered how they explain the fact that you can see farther, the higher up the observer? Perhaps you could ask for me, I'd love to hear how they explain it. 😉

I need some help figuring out if this study is flawed
Let me ask again, how many people do you know, that would qualify to be in the control group?
