The post is pretty close to being guilty of the very problem it is pointing out.



I don't think it is, which is my point. It's essentially saying "I wish people with BEHAVIOR PROBLEM would do THING THAT MAY HELP MITIGATE PROBLEM." There is no statement of the size of that group, or how many people exhibit that problem. Unless you don't think the behavior being talked about is a problem (which is different than thinking not many people have this problem), then I'm not sure how having empathy towards them factors in. Is wishing they had more perspective and could avoid a cognitive pitfall not empathy?
