Cultural Relativism: The Idea Leading to Suicidal Empathy #shortsAdded:
the victims of rape are themselves are suicidally empathetic towards their rapist. Well, our emotional system did not evolve to be empathetic toward our rapist. That would be an example of someone who's being suicidally empathetic. 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. So, let me give That sounds very abstract.
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, racist, 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. Well, if you internalize that parasitic idea that it is not appropriate to ever judge the cultural practices of another culture, then that renders you impotent when you're making judgments about who should be let into your country, about whether you want an increase of people who hold those views or not.
That Therefore, that leads to the suicidally empathetic position that all immigrants are equally likely to assimilate within the American ethos or the Western ethos. So, we started off with internalizing a parasitic idea called cultural relativism, and that lays the foundation for then the suicidal empathy of open borders.
