How do civilizations die?
2
The great British historian Arnold Toynbee asked himself this question.

Here is his answer.

We in the West, the inheritors of the greatest civilization ever created,
6
are witnessing this right before our very eyes.
7
I call this phenomenon suicidal empathy.
8
As an evolutionary behavioral scientist,
9
I believe empathy is a noble virtue and a central feature of our humanity.
10
The Oxford Dictionary defines empathy as the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
11
It sounds great, and often is,
12
especially when you're empathetic toward the people close to you,
13
your spouse, your children, your friends.
14
But empathy can lead us astray.
15
When empathy serves as the only filter for decision-making,
16

18
In fact, it can be fatal.
19
The serial killer, Ted Bundy,
20
used empathy to lure women to their violent deaths.
21

22
sometimes with a fake sling or cast on his arm.
23
He would ask his soon-to-be victim for help loading items into his car,
24
and then, when they turned their back, he would strike.
25
Bundy killed through exploiting the natural proclivity to be empathetic.
26
Suicidal empathy endangers not just well-meaning individuals.
27
It threatens entire societies, indeed all of Western civilization.
28
Let's look at a couple of general and then more specific examples.
29
Mass immigration.
30
In 2015, the Chancellor of Germany,
31
Angela Merkel, instituted an open-door immigration policy,
32
especially for Muslim migrants, most of whom had no intention of assimilating into their host societies.
33
Perhaps her suicidal empathy toward migrants was meant as penance for her country's crimes against humanity.
34
But a decade later, Germany,
35
as well as most of Europe,
36
nearly all of whom have followed Merkel's example,
37
is dealing with the consequences.
38
Vastly increased rates of rape, murder, and social disintegration.
39

43
suicidally empathetic mayors and city councils in places like Los Angeles,
44
San Francisco, and Philadelphia cut their police budgets.
45
Who suffered?
46

55
equity, and inclusion, not to mention honoring all indigenous ways of healing that have been historically marginalized by Western medicine.
56
Because as they wheel you into the operating room,
57
what you really want to know is
58

59
merit is up on how the local tribes handled medical problems 500 years ago.
60
Under the Biden White House,
61
the Federal Aviation Administration implemented a recruitment program for people with severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities.
62
Imagine how safe you'll feel when that woke logic reaches the cockpit.
63
No society can long survive such an explosion of suicidal empathy.
64
Is there a cure?
65
Yes, but first we must understand where this madness comes from.
66
Suicidal empathy is driven by misplaced guilt.
67
The suicidally empathetic person feels guilty for being born in the prosperous, free West.
68
We might call this privilege guilt,
69
a common affliction among Westerners,

especially affluent, highly educated ones.

To inoculate yourself against this parasitic idea,
72
you must take at the very least these three actions.
73
First, never shut off your rational mind.
74
Suicidal empathy tries to override your capacity for reason.
75
It hijacks your desire to be kind,
76
misdirects it to the wrong recipient in the wrong amount,
77
and in so doing, harms you and others.
78
Second, always ask, what happens next?
79
Cause and effect is an immutable law.
80
Actions have consequences, sometimes very bad ones.
81
Third, don't be tolerant of all viewpoints.
82
Not everything is as good as everything else.
83
Some ideas are better than others.
84
Some cultures are better than others.
85
Some religions are more peaceful than others.
86
These actions were once the default operating system for nearly everyone born in the West.
87

88
The good news is this.
89
Suicide is a choice.
90
The West still has time to save itself, but not much.

연습 팁

이 동영상은 중간 속도의 강의 형식으로 진행됩니다. shadowspeak 기술을 활용하여, 처음에는 동영상의 내용을 따라 말하는 연습을 해보세요. 문장을 반복적으로 들으며 발음을 체크하고, 강사의 톤과 감정을 분석하며 따라해보는 것이 중요합니다. 예를 들어, 공감의 긍정적인 측면과 부정적인 측면을 이야기할 때, 목소리의 억양과 강도를 조절해보세요. 이러한 연습을 통해 다양한 상황에서의 영어 회화 능력을 향상시키고, shadow speak 기술을 바탕으로 보다 자연스러운 대화를 나눌 수 있습니다. 마무리로, 연습한 내용을 정리하고 친구와 이야기를 나눌 때 활용해 보세요. 영어를 배우는 과정에서 실천이 가장 중요하다는 것을 기억하시기 바랍니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
