      The people driving opinions like that don’t need to wait until after work to pick up their groceries. The less well off ones can go pick it up during work while the better off ones let their chef hire someone to take care of keeping enough fresh ingredients stocked.

        Im similar. But this is just how i have always been. I sleep when im tired, so i dont have a real sleep schedule. Weekdays im up at 530. Some nights im in bed by 9, others 12 or later. I never have a problem falling asleep because i simply just got to bed when im tired. So on the weekend, i sleep until im completely rested. Some days its 730, other days its 10 or later.

        My best rest/most productive time of my life was the semester i was working senior project with folks who wanted to meet before their full day of work, and I had night classes. I had no problem transitioning to sleeping 4hours, twice a day. About 2-6 on both sides. I wish i could do that again

    I wonder if there is any historical way of evaluating human empathy.

    It seems to me that there are far more people that lack inherent empathy, let alone more developed empathy, than there are those that have it.

    Capitalism, of course, demands the rejection of empathy.

    If we call what the USSR had (at some points) and the CCP (at some points) communism, they still massively lacked empathy. Take Lenin for example. He allowed non-Russian ethic groups the right to secede (Lithuania, Finland, Ukraine, Poland, Latvia and Estonia). So he appeared to understand that “hey, let’s not subject the people who aren’t us the ability to be independent of our experiment”. He established literacy development, separation of church and state, women’s rights. But then he proceeds to use terror and violence to “drive out the old order” leading to some 140,000 state sanctioned murders, established gulags and slave labor camps. This led to the Red/White civil war both sides of which use antisemitism as a means of blame. So here, now, we show that a significant majority of people are lacking empathy.

    Empathy is POWERFUL in a social context especially ones Humans evolved with. Individually we could not survive very well. Grouped together we were capable of hunting the largest creatures on earth, while raising children, maintaining shelter, keeping hydrated, and advancing.

    Why would we seemingly develop something to the opposite of our survival?

    Anyone else get their best coding done between the hours of 10pm to 6am when we’re finally enjoying peace?

    During grad school, I analyzed my dissertation data in the restricted access room late at night while binging Star Trek TNG and Voyager on my laptop. I’d then go to my 7am meetings with my early bird boomer advisor for my RA job and immediately crash once I got home.

      I can’t code within hours. Once I’m thinking about it, it just bounces around in there until I figure it out. So I appear to slack off a lot, but I’m thinking about it very often even outside work.

      You’re in it for a while. My oldest is a night owl somehow but my youngest is hitting 2 and wakes me up at all 3 times (I think he gets up at 5 but only wakes me when hungry, like a cat).

      I don’t think it’ll get better until they’re out of the house.

        My 3 year old wakes up screaming at exactly 1 am every night. Not crying or yelling, full screaming like he saw a ghost. It usually wakes up my 6 month old and then we’re all doomed.

        I started staying up and waiting by his door so I can run right in. He’s always fine and just goes “oh hi daddy do you want to sing me a song?”

          Ah our 3yo did that for a while a year ago, it’s very upsetting. At least yours snaps out of it quickly, ours would go for a half hour but I managed to calm her with numbers. We would count upwards as high as we could switching places and she’d calm down. Side effect, she can count past 100 now.

          Oh, also it’s apparently similar to sleep walking. Apparently they’ll do that eventually.
