Summary
This document is Page 138 of a larger academic volume, stamped with a House Oversight control number. It contains an essay titled 'Reflections on Invisible Connections' discussing social psychology, specifically the work of Christopher Masi, Nick Epley, Jean Decety, Farr Curlin, and John Cacioppo regarding loneliness, social connectedness, and the intersection of science and religion in medicine. While likely part of an evidentiary production related to Epstein (who had ties to the scientific community, particularly Cacioppo), the text itself is purely academic.

Quote #1
"If science can be viewed as a cognitive system that steps us back so that we can deal more objectively with another person’s distress, then religion can be viewed as a cognitive system that steps us forward to connect and care for others."Source

Quote #2
"Curlin argues that the practice of medicine requires a balance of these forces, and that the resulting tension between the two produces better care for the patient than does the practice of medicine using either alone."Source
