So empathy is a very useful foundation for social interactions. I trust you, and I trust you. Great, now we can cooperate. The problem is that if you get a community of cooperators established, Non-cooperators can move in and dominate. And so there's an ambivalence between trust and skepticism that's bound to emerge.

Okay, so we produced a society that was very trust-based in which empathy could function very effectively. And then it got weaponized. Now, it got weaponized by psychopaths and narcissists, fundamentally, and sadists. We know their type. They're Machiavellian, so they use language to get what they want. They're narcissistic, so they want undeserved attention.

They're psychopathic, so they're predatory parasites. And they're sadistic, so they're fun people. And they weaponize empathy and it's unbelievably effective.

Now, part of the reason it's effective and part of the reason I think that people didn't stand up, they didn't stand up for me in Canada, although some people did and some journalists, none of my professional colleagues to speak of, almost no psychologists, virtually no physicians. Agreeable, empathetic people don't believe that the parasitic, predatory, Machiavellian narcissists exist.

They don't have that space in their imagination. And for them, so their default assumption is that anyone who's misbehaving is a victim.

Now, you can even, even that's understandable because you can say, look. 80% of the people in prison were victimized. Now, not everybody who's victimized turns into a criminal. In fact, quite the reverse. So that's a rather weak demonstration. But that still also leaves the 20%, right?

And they're the 20% that include the psychopathic rapists who, when the Scottish National Parliament decides that men and women are the same, decide that it's time for them to go into the women's prisons. All the agreeable people think, Oh, those people don't exist. They're just misunderstood.
