Talia Mae Bettcher: "But now listen to me, philosophers, when I remind you of that long-forgotten word 'empathy.' And I say that there are indeed consequences when we punch down or pretend that what is, in fact, a hostile attack, is merely 'inquiry for inquiry’s sake.'" dailynous.com/2025/02/10/w...
