The highest form of kindness and empathy is to defend Truth. It's Epistemological Kindness, Epistemological Empathy. If you see the TRUTH being raped and murdered and you walk away pretending that you saw nothing, you are an existential coward. Professors are tasked with creating and disseminating knowledge; most importantly they are tasked with being dogged defenders of the truth and the means by which to seek the truth (the scientific method). This is what I do in my public engagement. Most of the world luckily sees it and appreciates my efforts. Regrettably some of the people that should see it, are swayed by the enemies of truth. No worries. We shall stand tall and with full dignity. Never waver. Never be a fence-sitter. Activate your inner honey badger.
@GadSaad The epistemological essence of our time is that the idea that we have access to objective truth has been effectively challenged. This is at the root of what we are grappling with. As is often the case, we've overcorrected.
@GadSaad @jeannebodine Yes! People.. mostly liberals..use the word " empathy" . But when confronted with the truth..they scream and shout at you. n that shows a total lack of empathy.
@GadSaad My inner Honey Badger ? ...hmm 🤔.. I'd like to say I'll try but...
@GadSaad Elon really likes this guy. Responds positively a lot to him.
