And so it's easy to understand why people can be parasitized by these ideas.

This person of color was born into a white supremacist society.

So he's already been victimized by society.

And for you to now punish him by having him in the penal system, you're doubly punishing him.

So shouldn't you give him a second chance?

And by second chance, we mean 186 chance.

That's part of suicidal empathy.

But suicidal empathy doesn't even apply to only that.

The victims of rape are themselves, are suicidally empathetic towards their rapist.

Can I share some of those incredible stories?

Sure.

So I start off in the book with an example from a Norwegian man who had been sodomized by a Somali migrant.

Because the Norwegians are very kind and empathetic, they don't believe in long sentences, he served maybe, I don't know, three years or four, like a pretty short sentence for a rape of another man.

When he was being released, he was going to be deported.

The victim of that rape had this huge existential angst and guilt because now that Ahmed was going to be released back to Mogadishu, he wouldn't end up being able to maximally flourish like he should be.

Well, our emotional system did not evolve to be empathetic toward our rapists.

That would be an example of someone who's being suicidally empathetic.

Another great example

What happened in that case?

In terms of whether he was deported or not?
