I'm wondering if you are familiar with this study by a neuroscientist at Arizona State. His EEG research indicates that one's economic class impacts one's ability to empathize. Short version: well-off folks do not empathize as well as the rest of us. It struck me as interesting and I thought it might be worthwhile to mention it during one of your updates. I've included a link to the academic paper as well as a more accessible summary of the research in New York Magazine below. Best! https://asumaclab.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/social-class-affects-neural-empathic-responses.pdf http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2017/02/how-rich-people-see-the-world-differently.html
