I'm assuming you mean that thing where people can imagine what another person feels?

I have a hypothesis: they do imagine what others feel, but they imagine it wrong. For instance, a transphobe might try to imagine what it's like to be trans, but the closest to that they can get is doing it for shits and giggles or for perverted reasons, so that's what they think it must be like.

Of course, most logical evidence would disprove that, but empathy (feelings) trump facts to some people.

I thought that was a joke while I was learning Rust, but then it actually happened to me :3

The percentages are out of total votes, not total respondents, you have to calculate the fractions yourself

I literally just described the scientific method. Sure, it's not the kind of question most scientists would ask, but it's the same scientific method.

Hypothesis: adding this part or doing that thing will make it do what I want.

Experiment: do that change and see if it does the thing you want.

If it doesn't do what you want, go back to hypothesis step. If that's not science, idk what is.

We can't have tyranny of the majority, that's why we should give me (numerically a minority) veto powers so I can stop mob rule. By complete coincidence the current arrangement works well for me and I might veto everything that would interfere with that. This is true democracy!
