The Extraordinary Science of Fear and Compassion
What makes someone risk their life for a complete stranger? One night on Interstate 5 near Tacoma, Abigail Marsh found herself facing backward in the fast lane after swerving to avoid a dog. As cars sped dangerously close, a man appeared-someone who might have seemed intimidating under normal circumstances with his gold jewelry and shaved head. Yet this stranger risked his life repeatedly, crossing the busy freeway to help her. He calmly fixed her car and guided them to safety, then disappeared without sharing his name or seeking recognition. This selfless act sparked a profound question that would shape Marsh's career: what drives extraordinary altruism? Through years of research, she discovered that altruism correlates strongly with the ability to recognize fearful faces-suggesting a neurological basis for compassion that might be the mirror opposite of psychopathy. This insight challenges our assumptions about human nature while offering hope that we can cultivate greater compassion in ourselves and society.
