It occurred to me to think that minorities are not statistically represented correctly anywhere, and even more so in #LLMs, so-called stochastic parrots, because they are not the majority (I know..), who tends to statistically relate to others, masquerading this as #empathy.
When you are disable person, not only you have to live with it, but you have to also live with the ignorance of others, that they so openly refuse to carry.

The article explores how inner self-compassion relates to outward social attitudes, particularly empathy and social dominance orientation, using a network analysis approach across pre-pandemic and pandemic periods. It presents evidence that greater self-compassion aligns with higher empathy and more egalitarian views, with empathy playing a key bridging role. The study also notes the stability of these connections across significant social disruption.
This piece is of interest to psychology readers because it links intrapersonal self-relations with interpersonal and societal attitudes, highlighting mechanisms by which self-kindness and empathy may influence broader social views. It uses a sophisticated analytic method to map connections among psychological traits, illustrating how inner experiences can relate to social-minded outcomes.
