I’ve come to realise that people have a hard time understanding concepts like “less likely” and “more likely”
As a matter of statistics, its easy. But as a matter of personal perception and empathy, its crazy difficult.
Blame the media, blame Dunbar's Number, blame the Protestant Work Ethic, blame survivorship bias, but it just doesn't come naturally to put yourself into someone's shoes, statistically speaking.
You need some kind of intersectional medium to give people visibility into how the other side lives. Otherwise they're just marks on a ledger, creating no more I instinctual moral imperative than the score at the end of a sporting event.
