Grok is delivering data that may surprise you.
Leftists often view empathy as a universal virtue, but it may be increasing political polarization.
A study sourced from the American Political Science Review explored these effects.
Using data from a 2016 YouGov survey of 1,000 Americans, researchers Elizabeth Simas, Scott Clifford, and Justin Kirkland looked at empathy's impact on partisan favoritism, tolerance, and even schadenfreude (a German term indicating pleasure in others' misfortunes).
Their first finding was that high empathy people showed a stronger bias towards their own political party.
They favored and felt much more empathetic towards in-party members.
This suggests empathy might not reduce social divides but instead heightens in-group loyalty rather than overall understanding.
At the same time, empathetic people also showed significant out-party unfavorability.
Interestingly, these effects were only statistically significant with empathetic partisan individuals.
Diving deeper, the researchers conducted their own survey to measure empathy's effect on tolerance and censorship.
A survey was given to individuals asking them to describe how they felt about certain scenarios involving free speech.
In general, empathetic individuals were much less likely to be tolerant of an individual if the views expressed were in opposition to the Democrat party. They were also more in favor of forcibly shutting down talk they disagreed with.
The study found that empathy also led to increased schadenfreude; Democrats ranked high in empathy felt more pleasure when members of the opposing party faced misfortune, especially if those members were perceived as morally wrong or harmful.

Louis L'Amour has been using software to write his books for more than 50 years. I don't read that crap.

Grok reports that much of what people consume on the Internet is generated by AI. You are likely unaware of it, judging by an analysis of your posts.

Could be, or it might be Grok is mostly just talking to itself now...

1975? I don't think so...
No way Grok can replace my song spoofs, they're too personal.

Grok reports that your spelling and grammar are substandard.
Read a few L'Amour books and it becomes obvious.

Grok has analyzed your claim and finds it lacking in credibility.
Louis L'Amour was a traditional author who wrote his books by hand or on a typewriter, as he was active before the widespread use of writing software. He is known for his dedication to the craft of writing, producing numerous novels and short stories throughout his career.

That in 1975 there were no available computer programs or affordable machines to run one on to generate a novel or even part of a novel says otherwise.
That his books are repetitive in style only speaks to his being a mediocre writer. Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander series of Napoleonic sea novels is exactly that way. They are grindingly repetitive in style and content. By the time you get to about your third one you know what's coming in every other book he writes in the series.
My memory is starting to slip but I'm pretty sure L'Amour admitted to using software to write his books.

An analysis of Goat's post history reveals very low levels of self-awareness, according to Grok.

Grok was unable to corroborate your assertion after an extensive search of the Internet.
Grok recommends that you schedule an appointment with a gerontologist.
The first software was developed in 1948. I like L'Amour but I don't read fiction.
I recommend you study the importance of human interaction.
