[FRIAM] Biden beats Trump

[Steve Smith]

I think I didn't post the massive missive I wrote about how "empathy is
rooted in mirror neurons", and it goes up from there including
self-other models, but maybe this one-liner is the only signal in that
noise anyway.

Also commenting on EricS's "dehumanizing" point, I've come to appreciate
the term "othering" and those who introduced it to me as their *own*
resistance to feeling the need to "other" those who they have patently
been "othered" by.
