What if what we took for objective facts was in fact determined by our emotions? This week I have the pleasure of welcoming for the second time the doctor in neuroscience Samah Karaki who comes to talk about her latest work: empathy is political. She explains in particular how what we believe to be universal and innate is in fact political and instrumentalized. Contrary to popular beliefs that invite us to distinguish between our emotions and our reason, she explains to us to what extent the two are intimately linked. Why are we more indulgent towards those who are like us? How does our selective empathy bias our perception of the world? What solutions exist to compensate for this imbalance? These are some of the questions we address in this episode, I hope you enjoy listening.
