    The problem for me is empathy is often the missing ingredient in my disagreements with others, and it’s harder or impossible to foster, teach, or cultivate that empathy via a remote text exchange.

    It is easier to press the button that shocks the stranger when the stranger is in the other room.

    …coupled with that I get enraged at injustice and bigotry enough that it likely affects my blood pressure, as well as my ability to articulate my political views in a respectful and/or cohesive manner.

        ? Unless you were born with all the information and best frameworks, you’re gonna need others to learn about the world. Take a chill pill, Rusty.
