I had and have no opinion on you, whether you are with or without empathy. I was referring to the person acting in the video clip. The person is acting a role in a story created in the mind or minds of others. They don't have any empathy in that story, they may feel something similar, but that's different.
I agree, cannot capture entirely what is inside of another person mind.
Knowing what is real and what is not real and what real actual is, well that is entirely held within the mind of the beholder and what is in the mind is entirely unknowable.
The reality is that the human brain, at the Quantum level, observes the word and our internal feedback from it. At the Quantum level the brain goes to record a measurement of the cluster of experiences.
Just as with the Quantum Erasure, this creates nothing. A similar cluster of experience that overlaps, will enhance that nothingness.
This is similar to a black and white photographic negative. Nothing (black the absence of light information) is white and white (full information from all sources of light at the highest intensity) is black being nothing.
Whereas, a negative is flat 2D unchanging, the human brain is a 3D dynamic Quantum Erasure where memory is nothing and experiences create more nothingness.
Consciousness, as such, is like a, large language model of a dynamic Quantum Erasure where only nothingness makes sense of every experience of the brains previous experiences, including those that got transferred within our DNA.
So it's the nothingness in our DNA that starts the process of experiencing nothingness.
When you consider that the Quantum level is mostly nothing and when you try and measure what is there, then it turns to nothing. Then does the Universe have Memory and Consciousness and every event and human thought (as our brains are part of the Universe) change it's Memory and therefore it's Consciousness.
Nothing is real, as such and nothingness is what everyone and everything is made of and will experience.
