Are there wrong povs? Your comment addresses nothing specific about mine.
The point is that your finding it hard to believe that someone feels a particular way is very poor evidence that they do not feel that way, especially when applied to a population.
We know that longtime meditators are able to distinguish micro-expressions in others that reveal emotions that they might not even realize they are having. And they are experts in identifying their own emotions as well. Do you have any such qualifications?
If not, then your disbelief in other people's claims about their experience is likely much stronger evidence of your own difficulty empathizing.
I have no doubt that some are wrong about how they feel, and that would have been an interesting discussion. If I've been misunderstanding this whole time, I'm sorry. Best wishes.
Is there something to their feeling? Yes. Is it how they say it is? I don’t think so.
An argument by popularity would be "millions of people say that they like Britney Spears, so she is the best singer." The argument I'm making is that "millions of people say that they like Britney Spears, so it's likely that at least one of them actually likes her."
I'm a person who has no desire for children. I haven't engaged your argument because I believe my existence makes it moot.
Likewise, if I were to make an argument that nobody can feel genuinely annoyed because [insert any argument here], I don't think your first step should be to engage my argument. I'd expect you'd help me see that I'm likely misunderstanding you, because you genuinely felt annoyed.
If you'd like to talk more, maybe we can find a channel better than HN.
