But I don't think he has a victim mindset over that situation that happened this year. So I think there's certain cultures and communities that really encourage it and some that don't.

Yeah, I hinted at that a little bit earlier, but we are such a social species and social value is such an important core part. Reputation and social value is such an important part. And I think if you go all the way back to Savannah Desert, we're a very tribal species. And

And there's a constant, I think there's a constant battle, there's a constant victimhood Olympics going on, going back to the start of humanity, the dawn of humanity. We've been engaging in this victimhood Olympics where you have two sides that are warring against each other. And there's this notion that there can only be one victim and there can only be one oppressor.

That is what gets you the greatest rewards, because if you claim that spot of being seen as the victim of the conflict, you get resources and support. But the second that you're seen as the tribal group that is the oppressor, nothing you can do can be right. Nothing. You're pure evil, no matter what happens. So I think there's something so primal about that war for that coveted seat.

And as you see, in my last chapter, I don't shy away from saying how it's playing out again in the Israeli... Palestine conflict and how it plays out in almost every intractable conflict among humans. There's something so primal about it.

Well, do you think our modern culture does not incentivize victimhood?

I think it's like asking why do humans still like fatty foods? I mean, I think that we're seeing remnants of an evolutionarily primal need that needs to be overcome. I mean, it's something that I think we see generation after generation after generation because it's so deeply seeded into our DNA to incentivize that. It's very hard for people to because it's so deeply ingrained.

It takes cognitive work to be able to perceive that there could be two victims at the same time. Very hard for people to wrap their head around that. And I think that's the only way forward.
