Is it more important to be educated or empathetic?

  Second one, you can get education anywhere these days.

  Most of our problems today are people who are "educated" who think that makes them "empathetic".

  Problem is, if you're being empathetic then you can feel why different people who disagree all have a point even if one group or the other is wrong, but if you're educated all you know is that your education tells you who is right.

  A lot of educated people have been incorrectly predicting the world lately because they don't have an emotional connection to what they're educated on. Then they blame the subjects of their predictions for not fitting the model they were educated under.

    Wow. Pretty spot on there with that first sentence. I literally just nodded like, “Wow, yea, that’s, holy shit, that’s a good ass point.” LOL

    Do you think those ppl are only ‘empathetic’ to matters concerning only themselves? Bc they r the ones screaming that everything is X Y and Z, but they actively treat others who don’t agree with their ideology like shit.

    I feel like most ‘educated’ ppl… aren’t really educated though. At least nowadays. History, math, literature educated got it.

    But it seems like today there’s an obvious political motive and agenda behind their ‘Educated’ … ‘facts’…
