I think, I don't want to misspeak, but I think he was deported to the screams and lamentations of his victim.

There is a woman who was raped in Germany.

And when the authorities were trying to find out more about who the perpetrators were,

She lied to them and said that they were speaking in German, even though they were speaking in Arabic and Farsi, because if she had truly said what their language was, then those communities would have been marginalized.

So, you know, there's just an endless number of like a litany of these examples.

And therefore, suicidal empathy is really pervasive once you recognize the mechanism.

When you look at the root of that, how is it so common?

Yeah.

What happened?

That's a great question.

I think, again, it goes back to the one-two punch of parasitic mind and suicidal empathy.

In order for the fertile grounds to be available for suicidal empathy to barge in, I first have to have certain ideas that are implanted in your brain.

That sounds very abstract, so let me give you a concrete example.

Cultural relativism is a parasitic idea that I discuss in The Parasitic Mind.

It basically says, who are you to judge the beliefs and the practices of another culture?

Shut up, racists, right?

So there are honor killings, shut up.

There are child brides, shut up.

There are female genital mutilations, shut up.

Don't judge other cultures.
