Possessed by the spirit of Cain. Yes. And that accounts for some of the anti-Semitism too. So let me run something by you. I want to flip to how the world turned. So it is the case that when people develop post-traumatic stress disorder, they relatively rarely develop it in response to a tragedy, even if it's a painful tragedy. They tend to develop it, one risk factor is being naive.

Seeing the world through rose-colored glasses, let's say, assuming goodwill on everyone's part, including your own, and then encountering a situation, sometimes a situation that you're deeply involved in where malevolence raises its head. The West is very sheltered, and I would say blind to malevolence, blind to its existence. In the academic realm, there's no discussion of good and evil.

Evil is an archaic term, and malevolence is a consequence of trauma, right? A consequence of privation. And that's simply not the case.

I was a relatively old person before I really had any sense at all of the extent of the Byzantine Empire or the catastrophe of its demolition. And the author of this particular book believed that the defeat of the Byzantine Empire by the Islamic world and maybe by the psychopaths of the Islamic world was so traumatic to the West that we just erased it from our historical memory.

And then it seems to me, Douglas, that something like that is going on right now. I mean, let's talk about the universities for a moment. Now, there's a fair bit of pathology in the universities, a fair bit. It's like top to bottom. They're absolutely incorrigible as far as I'm concerned, especially the Ivy Leagues.
