I think there is a bit of empathy involved if you are doing what you can to see both sides of a situation. It might not be what we traditionally consider empathy, but I think it fits.

yeah I mean it's possible that I could be giving a voice to the voiceless or that standing up to an idea that has a lot of support is "brave" or that doing what I think is best for the network is "selfless"

but I never really thought about it like this... in fact I often like to go the opposite way like doing what I think is best for the network is selfish because it benefits me personally. If capitalism has shown us one thing it's that sustainable flourishing economies has a certain foundation of selfishness and ego attached to them

people gonna people!

They certainly are!
