One of my pet peves:
People who use "empathy" to mean "compassion"... empathy just means you can read and understand, and feel another persons emotions. It doesnt mean you actually care about their emotions or happiness.
A successful con-man is very empathic, and will use that empathy to take everything you own and destroy you.
Empathy is not far off though. And we must work with words for people to get it (this would solve our Pet Peeves via the dictionary work + human practice between us AS OUR MAIN WORK)
@freemo Agree - but it's not far off.
My own efforts are for making a collection of words as a "System of Relativity" or "System of Love" that I think is what we need to get ground back on meanings for words hopefully in a more practical way:

However, without practice of them, they are infertile.
====================
THE RESET IS IF YOU CARE
A LOT MORE ABOUT THESE TOPICS
====================
1/ So even if people could use a more specific or better word. the assumption AND probability is being understood and those that know are likely to do the human work of compassion and related words as empathy or compassion.
Yes - Writing a post like this helps make it clearer and hone words so they get better.
Empathy is not far off and one knowledge close by dominoes or relates to the another.
2/ I've recently "attacked" things that don't work humanly to get understanding between people like with words themselves. (I say "attacked" but only as a reflection of the lack of work / integrated ignorance / inaction of people in STEM and all that seem not to want to do "people work" or things more humanly in between all work.
The above might be seen as a judgment or knock on everyone but also responsible for this human work is of course government / capitalism who instead is robbing people's time (using debt / laws / keeping people dumb or cold etc) which makes this less of judgement on my part and more as a "this is life, do you want to change it?" + a FreeSchool lifetime's worth of education / experience / asking / testing / living in this way and not finding it, perhaps finding I.T. mostly)
I guess I see a way to achieve many things more than Tech and expectancy here is that Tech-heavy things without that will not work for humans on many levels of communication, feelings, expression etc. Arguably people and Tech and STEM all cut it out and have focuses as part of their strengths yes (but massive weakness) and you have rich people easily seen using and magnifying that. We need to not do the same even we're not evil so something actually grows humanly like kindness and all these other terribly hard words to consider "developing".
People "like you" (just to keep it short / no offence intended) basically don't get why they should switch or exchange or change the classic Tech tree of development to make the human the forefront and more magnified instead of everything else - since we have enough of most things now (thank you for you work - you are relieved of those duties)... so now to the human sides.
Those who have NOT made these kinds of words or being part of their work everyday or weekly somehow are making things unstable too - Because if the world is what we want to head to as more of a emotionally intelligent world or emotional intelligence then WE MUST DO *THIS* as dictionary work + practice as part of everything (I don't mean stop but include it as the glue else it's a cold machine). Very. Cold.
3/ I've given up on you as a person doing that so don't expect you to change but wanted to say in regard to #PetPeeves "that's how you solve it all". I think your post is a good example and quite right but could be done more fully (instead of your #AI project for example or other branches).
You (plural) can be right all you want but without putting it into practice the FreeSchool way or enabling those then you get low bar of people. And then complain about it.
4/ Self-advertising my own small scale efforts again and putting it to practice with people - I've made words similar to this "System of Relativity" or "System of Love" that we need to get ground back on and ACTUALLY GROW in the mind. Mind power with existing technology is enough (not even more stem using and abusing this). For me this means simply text / audio group chat orientated to working on / with these things and other things branching off as a side project of love. Especially if you have enough money for a while, then do love (human species). Usually people do money (banks / business) and then love and by that time mathematically the damage / dis-care is far greater / irretrievable in that order.
