Virtual empathy

from INTP Musings · host Friend Francis

Someday soon, I think VR will be leveraged to facilitate empathic experiences for people. It will allow people to have an experience in VR that has likely been experienced by a person in history. Imagine being able to experience being black man in the Jim Crow south being chased by an angry white lynch mob after having done nothing but go through the wrong entrance in a store and not saying thank you respectfully enough after purchasing your goods. Imagine being able to experience being in hiding from the Nazis, etc. This technology may be primitive at first, but I think it may ultimately allow us to have more empathy for one another, and do a great service to society.
