"Of Primates and Personhood"

Good Morning!

Humans aren't as good as we should be in our capacity to empathize with feelings and thoughts of others, be they human or other animals on Earth.  So maybe part of our formal education should be training in empathy.  Imagine how different the world would be if, in fact, that were 'reading, writing, arithmetic, empathy.
