Welcome to Free Association, where we dive deep into the nuances of empathy and the human connection. In this episode, the host reflects on the day's events, including a productive chat with Lenny and a thought-provoking discussion with a philosophy group about the intricacies of empathy.

The conversation takes a philosophical turn as the host questions the very existence of empathy, proposing that what we often perceive as empathy might actually be a biologically driven rapport-building mechanism. This idea is further explored in connection to psychosynthesis and the broader context of human relationships.

Join us as we unravel the mystery of empathy, questioning whether it's a genuine emotion or a subconscious, telepathic synchronization between individuals.
