Empathy is the ability
to sympathize
with
what other people feel.
In the extreme
this means
your activity neurons start firing
as soon as you see an activity.
So we can actually
mentally share
the activity
of a total stranger.
This practical mechanism
is called mirror neuron.
Very well.
It would be even more important
to
find another mechanism:
How some mentally shared activity
can become actual shared activity.
One such mechanism is well known.
Money.
Isn’t it strange that there is no dictionary
where you can look up “moneypathy”.
