Upper-Class People Have Trouble Recognizing Others' Emotions (Study Indicates)

:blah:

Hmm. Sure, the study must be replicated. Nonetheless, it's quite interesting, and replication could make it quite telling. Maybe.

20. Now you're going to be in trouble with Hannity.
   
Uh, speaking of individuals who can't read the emotions of others...

2. It seems that in some circles insensitivity is cultivated....
   
because being too empathetic might mean a reduction in the rate of accumulating wealth at the expense of one's fellow man.

11. Those "circles" exist right here at DU. It comes down to stubbornness to change.

4. They aren't very good at recognizing the emotions of others ...
   
... because they don't give a shit about the emotions of others.

Bring me breakfast, prune my hedges, fetch me my cloak, lower my taxes and catch the trickle running down my leg.

That's OK. Just keep partying like it's 1358.
Ah, yes... DUmmies.  The French peasants of the internet. ::)

7. So it's like an acquired Asperger's syndome?
   
I'm a poor working schlub so I don't have time to actually read the article now, but it does sounds fascinating.

19. They don't want to see other people's emotions when they are going to run roughshod over them
I'm sensing a pattern here...

22. What books have you found on sensitivity?
   
I've read The Highly Sensitive Person, and Sensitivity: Agony and Ecstasy.

Others?
*tap, tap, tap* (Is this thing on?)


Woe is me.

Obama and the Dems sure didn't read the emotions of the people at the town hall meetings in 2009, nor did they read the emotions of the voter just a few short weeks ago.  They still plan to carry on with their BullShit attempts to subvert the Constitution.

Sorry, were you talking to me?  Be a good peasant and move aside for my coach, now. Address your concerns to the footman, please.
