Are most people physically incapable of seeing another person's perspective these days?

[Deleted member 5521]

For example, take a short ugly person and a tall handsome person together of average IQ discussing dating (they are both bluepilled). The short person will complain that he cant get girls and the tall person will probably respond "no way its so easy bro!" and deny that dating is hard.

Because the tall person has a good experience dating, he thinks that everyone else MUST have a similar experience as him, he cant imagine in his brain a reality where girls constantly reject him.

I legitimately doubt the average IQ person is capable of imagining someone elses perspective (not in an empathetic way but a simple logic/problem solving way like in my example). Is this true?

I think that could be part of it, but I think they can see, it's just social etiquette to not make people feel bad. Most people to some degree knows that looks matter but really they don't know that the basis of a lot of the events in their lives are based on looks.

Social etiquette is definitely apart of it, but even online where everyone is anonymous most comments will be similar to my example so idk. Its not just looks too its just a common in general especially in politics.

I do think most people are completely capable of seeing an ugly short person's perspective, but they would need to watch a fking movie/documentary to understand his struggles instead of just inferring it by imagining it themselves which I think is the problem.

People are becoming more narcy and less empathetic, it’s pretty well studied, I studied it in my Gender Studies course at Kansas Polytechnical (top 2500 ranked worldwide university

It is a very hard thing to be able to empathize with people, I'm not brilliant at it but I can do decently. The issue with empathising is that it's very hard to do it cause your frame of reference is different to someone else's frame of reference.

The example you gave with height, it is very difficult for a tall person to empathize with a small person because they probably have never been small themselves. They can probably deduce they feel insecure and so the tall person tries to relate by thinking about his insecurities (maybe dick size) but the tall person could never truly understand what it is like to be small. It takes quite a bit of thought really to fully empathise with someone.

I don't think people nowadays lack empathy but I do think they lack the attention span to truly think about someone's situation.

Most people are not critical thinkers

Also Whites seem more capable of empathy and understanding of others situations than other races

I have never heard a Jew or Black man worry about a White Man's problems, but so many Whites worry about minorities and their struggles

Also one last thing is White Men tend to project their own views of the world onto Blacks, Jews, or women

This is simply false, for women are like children, Blacks are low IQ, and Jews are psychopathic

I as a White Man can only relate to other White Men, to put myself in a Black man's shoes doesnt work because the Black and is an entirely different bilogical being, I might as well try to relate to a tree or a cactus
