Bingeworthy: The Strain (2014)

July 8, 2024
I don't know how many people actually watched this show. It flew under the radar for it's entire 4 season run.

I believe one of the greatest human failings is to prefer to be 'right' than to be 'effective'.

Humans aren't as good as we should be in our capacity to empathize with feelings and thoughts of others, be they humans or other animals on Earth. So maybe part of our formal education should be training in empathy. Imagine how different the world would be if, in fact, that were 'reading, writing, arithmetic, empathy.'
