The ability for a person to simultaneously consider their own position, feelings, motivations, etc. as well as those of another person (or group of people).
The reason he was such an effective communicator was because of his meta empathy, people with whom he was speaking always felt like he understood them intuitively.

Get the meta empathymug. Hym "Ultra-Omega Psychology Genius! That entire segment about selective empathy is downstream from my thing! How am I THIS GOOD at everything!? I have to have like 1 million citations at this point. Wait, is it 937 kills or is it 937 PhDs? Assists? No, that would suck. 937 isn't a lot of assists...So, it's gotta be PhDs. 937 PhDs! The single greatest psychologizer in the history of humanity!"

Get the Selective Empathymug. To naturally be aware of the emotional state of your fellow man, without necessarily
A trait that only the most upstanding suckers have.
The one thing everyone in this world plays on to take advantage of your natural care and concern for your fellow man.
A trait that more times than not, will get you screwed over because "Treat others as you would like to be treated" is no longer a standard in society.

Get the Empathymug. When you always make things about you. It has become a modern buzz word for narcissistic women who are transparently projecting their own delusion that they have some exceptional power to feel and sense the emotions of others. while it seems that every woman you meet is a self described empath, the reality is that only 16% of the population has any quantifiable empathy levels above average, and yes it can be reliably tested for it. Furthermore, empathy is not a useful personality trait. In personal relationships, it can cloud your judgment and your ability to give advice or be of assistance to a friend in need. Worse yet is it’s inability to be applied to any large scale decision making. People literally cannot feel empathy for more than a couple of people at a time, generally three. Any tragedy greater than three people is generally of no differing consequence to someone of extremely high empathy. They simply short-circuit. They are useless at population management, political policy, as they try and personalize everything and get emotionally sidetracked with issues that affect all populations. They won’t flip a switch redirecting a train so that it only kills five people in a work zone, instead of slamming into a pact train station killing hundreds. -a example of one of the thought experiments done to test peoples ethical decision making. Empaths always fail, causing disastrous hypothetical results.
“I’m really sorry that my mother passing away makes you so upset Bridget, let me leave the funeral and come make sure you are OK, I know it must be hard having so much empathy.”

Get the Empathymug. When people take advantage of your better nature to exploit you. Usually happens with liberal white women when mothering instincts are redirected towards immigrants and people that will one day harm them.
"Showing pictures of a tearful immigrant to promote replacing your identity and culture is a form of empathy extortion."
