I'd like to know more about the interpretation of (so called) mirror cells. It sounds like the interpretation is that a monkey's cells are firing because they 'think' a human reaching for an object is the same as when the monkey reaches for an object. That's a lot of speculative abstraction. More research is needed ;)
Hi, I'm currently on a binge listen of your podcast. I've found a lot of value in many of the episode but sadly I have issues with this one. I think your (or James Baldwin's for that matter) understanding of empathy is misleading and doesn't reflect how the empathy really works.
Very interesting pod episode, thanks! What I immediately wonder is if dolphins also have some kind of concept that they are mortal (why save an other dolphin, if they do not.

Fine to disagree! Feel free to elaborate on why you think this view is misleading, and what leads to your having a different view.
That's not very empathetic Vincent

Was "empathy" coined by Edward Titchener or by Theodor Lippo??
The answer is _yes_
Great podcast.
