Le fils de l'homme, that we all are. Check out René, man. I'm not talking about that Renée Zell who says things like,

Or that loopy mustached lady with nonexistent life. That guy did us all in as a “Father of Modern Philosophy.”, but his contribution to the philosophical thought of aesthetics is not negligible, read up on the entry for 'Empathy' at SEP,,, ahh, the OP is from uk with lower case, if that's the case, then I don't know...

Are we getting 'cogito ergo' enough education yet? Seriously dude, the title of this thread seems weird to me, 'a questing' you say? I'm acting like a pleasure filled ape who can clobber you with one big swing of my arm, the Empathy Quotient checksheet would be snatched out of their hand, no questions, no squeal, 'n no seroquel, doc. Do you see the talk at right next door? I haven't read it but 'fakin'' anything,,, wgaff.

Altruism is something a lot of people are interested in, for me, 'belief' matters when I think of stuff like this. I probably have more reserved opinion on this, and neuro and cognitive science folks have been tackling this our mode of being, I used the word 'education' but I may not even believe in it, I could just come up with my own theory on the fly, trying to explain how things could be understood. Misplacing psychology is something many people do these days, and my prima facie morality could be wrong, you're not Psychology Today Spy, are you?

I smell Western Spy Technology, our Doc J knows the story behind this torturous hoops for regular folks, I don't know, man, some stuff that I've been talking about comes directly from "the main website", their 'pro' articles are goldmine, don't be afraid of jargons, and jump right in there too.

Woopsa this is a ****ing daisy, my time's almost up. Oh, yeah, I didn't say anything about post #3, did I? I just got nothing to say to that. If that works for you, stay on it, make a good habit of it. And Maslow's not going anywhere, man, it's worth investigating what's so positive, good luck.

Non compos mentis post, supplemental. The Matrix deux and that Frenchy lady's orgasm is something to seriously think about. And since you said something like stigma-blah-blah-blah, let me remind you that many countries that fought world war thought about eugenics. We hear that the UK has become police state as of late, **** mommy, a MAN has a Lot to think about. Jus tryna capitalize on the heritage, kwim?*in cool low tone voice* "Do I feel lucky, punk?", "Oh, yessir!"
