Korean man in wheelchair commits suicide after missing a lift/elevator?

[Scorpion]

and congrats for acting like emotionless idiots in this topic. so it wasn't the smartest move he made, it's still bad it happened.

I feel bad for any familly or friends he had yes, but the actual act itself was incredibly stupid, and as the guy in the video said, he took a pro-longed pause before deciding to ram into the door, any loss of common sense was obviously there to begin with.

The Young Turks are not a professional news source, so I'm not convinced that their word is reliable.  I would have preferred to see the raw video, as the Turkish commentary contributed nothing.

@Scorpion: you clearly don't know what anger can to to a persons mind and way of thinking.
@SR: then look for the raw video and learn nothing new -_-'

Are these REALLY steel doors ?

Empathy is rare these days, as PW rightly pointed out...
What I've learned from my own research (and myself):
When our comfort level becomes, or might become, altered up or down greatly, our higher cognitive abilities fly right out the window...   Without reason our 'compulsion toward' or 'repulsion away from' reign, and we function at the level of a beast.  That's when we will reap hell.
As for this guy, (if it's real) he should have thought before he responded.  Not being sober-minded was the cause, the chaos was the sad results.  We should learn from this to not be escaping reality through any form of insobriety,...for sometimes the unconsidered consequences are not conducive to learning from them, because they're lethal. Very sad.
By not thinking clearly and full-time we cause about 80% of our own hell... Few learn from this, but rather to not face the resulting chaos of not being in touch full time, we just escape reality more...  Duh.

Depends of the person really... look at Joey, then me.

But can empathy function with a entirely logic person ?

Eh. Yeah. Sometimes when a storm wrecks your house and kills your loved ones, people tend to forget to think reasonably. But at the same time, that "not thinking reasonably" is linked to attraction to the ones your esteem, which IS linked to empathy... i think ?

Theorically, I agree. But despite being built and evolved for rational thought (having the most developed brain of all animals) can we be beings of pure reason ?

Funny but sad.

But can empathy function with a entirely logic person ? Yep. A complete person would possess both.  But the emotions would be subject to hgher cognitive reason, not the other way around...

Theorically, I agree. But despite being built and evolved for rational thought (having the most developed brain of all animals) can we be beings of pure reason ? Yes, to be blunt. But not with such a paradigm. I'm an ex-evolutionist because of consistent and comprehensive reasoning. It's a faulty but popular paradigm, Nar. As I pointed out before from my own extensive work with several from Harvard, MIT and about a dozen other schools around the US, many of the authors of the published textbooks you read, do not actually hold evolution as their paradigm,.. they do it to acquire and/or keep their job. I can put you in contact with many that when they even mentioned some of the problems and inconsistancies in didactics or publishing about the theory of evolution, they were quickly terminated. (PM me.) Si j'étais en France et eu le temps, je m'asseyais avec vous pendant une semaine ou deux et d'expliquer le reste du scénario qui ne parvient jamais à sortir des salles de l'université, par crainte de représailles. Careful, Nar. Your too gullible. You need to thoroughly check out both sides totally, Nar before you set your life paradigm. Especially since there are no guarantees that you'll be around tomorrow.

Like nobody here ever kicked an elevator or vending machine......  He just did the next best thing for someone who can't kick.

That said, this whole "rational" and "higher thought" thing is sooo overrated.  Especially when you consider most people cannot solve non linear problems with it.
