Yeah, there’s that scorn again that I was talking about. Your derision and scorn towards those that are less able than you demonstrate a lack of empathy and an absence of sympathy. Your “lots of data” is just your prejudices, you’re making sweeping generalizations, not based on knowledge or understanding, but largely based on your preconceived ignorant opinions.
That lady isn’t perfect, but as we can see, neither are you. Nor am I obviously. Cut people some slack, grow some empathy.
I’m agreeing with you while at the same time laughing at the idea of defending some random lady mentioned in a comment. Yes, I judged her cookie making abilities without knowing her full background. I also don’t think a random comment on lemmy she’s not aware of hurt her feelings.
Wait, are you that lady? That would explain a lot. Maybe there’s some trauma behind it. Sorry, I just didn’t think you would see it. I will be more careful int he future, promise.
The argument was never about the lady, the lady her plight is a story telling device to make this abstract problem more relatable, to make the story more compelling and to get empathy + sympathy from the audience. The same way I tried to use my grandmother’s experience as a story telling device to make you more empathic with people who are differently able than you. These kinds of people exist in every country, you may even know some without knowing it because it’s not exactly written on our faces what our cognitive capabilities are. They deserve our sympathy and help if they want it, but to be scornful towards them is bad imo. I really don’t like victim blaming.
What I’m trying to say is: Keep an open mind, don’t let your prejudices determine your opinions about people, grow some empathy and try to be sympathetic with people’s situations. Scorn is never the right answer.

That’s scorn + derision.
