I am still unhappy with the "inborn" statement about body language, but after rewording it I feel that I don't need to add the {{Fact}} tag back. It still needs a citation though. And telling me to do a google search is pointless, I'm not the person who wants that statement on there (though I do feel that there is now nothing really wrong with it anymore) and it needs to be a reliable source, not just a random site found with google (though it might find a reliable result it isn't guaranteed).

It is good that the other statement now has a source though. Raoul Harris 15:44, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unempathic

The article needs to distinguish how this term is different from "unempathic" or "lacking empathy". "Mind blind" is one of those modern terms that could mean several things, like blind to their own emotions, but doesen't. It has been adopted for it's rhyming cuteness factor, despite the ambiguity, and typifies the fuzzy thinking that drives so much writing these days. 68.164.88.178 10:05, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Editing attention needed here

I'm uncomfortable with the inclusion of this topic in [[Category:Nonverbal communication]] - can someone explain to me how it fits?

Also, this seems like a stub that should be merged into some other article and replaced with a redirect. Any thoughts? What other article handles this topic? Cbdorsett 08:59, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. I can see no big difference between Mind blindness and grave unempathy, as noted by 68.164.88.178.

The closest related topic I see is the psychogenic view of autism.

Psychohistorians believe that the most regressive modes of childrearing cause extreme lack of empathy in humans. You can also take a look at the non biological theories of schizophrenia.

The article should be merged but I don’t know where.

I changed my mind. This subject merits an article on its own. —Cesar Tort 06:09, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I have added a major edit which needs cleaning, I am not good at wiki editing. The style might be unacceptable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tchannon (talk • contribs) 00:57, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
