An interesting article that makes intuitive sense.

I think I'd extend "power" to also the power of age/majority/etc. Think about how many times we, as adults, forget what it's like to be a child. Think about boomers won't cannot fathom the troubles Gen Y/Z face. The way societal majorities don't empathize with minorities, whether of color, sexual orientation, etc.

I think, what it comes down to, is that when you don't have to care about problems, you don't. And so, because those neural pathways aren't there, you simply literally don't understand.

Republicans just really hate and are scared of AOC.
