An SG reader is struggling with the idea that only a small percentage of the population are emotionally exosynaesthetic:
I’m struggling with the idea that only a small portion of the population has that capacity.
Why? Have you talked to any actual humans lately? It’s much more likely that you simply don’t understand what empathy actually is.
Note that these five examples below are not definitions that cover the entire meaning of the terms and set limits on their applications, they are just explanatory examples meant to help you understand the differences between the concepts.
Empathy: I know how you feel in your situation. Chrysopathy: I know how I would feel in your situation. Sympathy: I feel bad about your situation. Apathy: I have no feelings about your situation. Antipathy: I feel pleased about your situation. Now think about how few people even bother to know what someone else’s situation actually is, much less have basic sympathy for it. Chrysopathy is the best that most people can do; because women are solipsistic they have absolutely no empathetic ability whatsoever and it is a very good thing that they do not.
This is more psychobabble and neologisms from Theodore Beale, aka Vox Day, aka Teddy Spaghetti. It's pretty rich that this narcissist and self-proclaimed Sigma Male, who pretends he is above it all, lectures his plebeian follows on how to feel. Teddy literally doesn't give a fuck about anything that doesn't directly affect him personally.
I'd really like to know how he coined the word "chrysopathy" and what he thought he meant by it. The Greek suffix "-pathy" I can understand, meaning feeling, sensitivity, or perception, but "chrysos", also Greek, means gold or the color of gold. If there's another meaning for that root word, it's entirely unique to him.
When you have to make up bogus words to make your point, anything you say is no longer credible.
