Curiosidade do dia

Primeiro, vi este tweet:

What we know: 1. She's a member of the French left-wing party and an activist, one of the biggest advocates for opening up migration to North African peoples. 2. She owns a small chic boutique in an upscale spot, she stood in her shop trying to save it from looting and theft telling them that she's a famous activist. 3. She told them I'm so-and-so, the activist for asylum, I'm with you, I've defended you and your entry and stay in France, they spat on her, knocked her down, and trampled her with their feet, good thing she's still alive. 4. And they looted the whole shop, losing all the struggle and work of her lifetime in a moment. Standing there stunned, not believing that these thieving, rabble-rousing, criminal, barbaric hordes are the ones she's spent her whole life defending, and advocating for them to invade her country and destroy it

Depois, perguntei ao Grok se era verdade:

No. The photo shows an unidentified woman who tried to stop looters at a Franprix supermarket near Place de la République on 17 Oct 2026. Photographer Frédéric Munsch recorded her pleading that the looting hurts the protest cause; she was pushed aside. She is not a boutique owner or known left-wing migration activist. No evidence supports the claims of her identifying as such, being spat on, or trampled.

Fixei: 

"recorded her pleading that the looting hurts the protest cause"

E lembrei-me de Eva no Jardim do Éden, ao perceber que a serpente a enganou. 

Numa das suas interpretações de Eva, Jordan Peterson apresenta a tentação como algo mais subtil do que ser simplesmente enganada: a presunção de que a própria compaixão é tão poderosa que pode acolher a serpente sem ser destruída por ela. Uma virtude transforma-se em vulnerabilidade quando perde o discernimento e passa a servir de prova da superioridade moral de quem a exerce. 

"What does that mean? It's prideful presumption that makes you assume that you can define the moral order What's the provide? What's the prideful presumption of Eve at the beginning of time and forever? I can even clasp the serpent to my breast. It's the careless welcoming in of the monstrous and prideful under the guise of the pretension of maternal compassion. And if you can't see that happening in our society, you're blind."

E lembrei-me de Gad Saad. Saad chama suicidal empathy à empatia que, na sua interpretação, leva alguém a desvalorizar ameaças e consequências, comprometendo a própria segurança ou as instituições que permitem proteger os outros.
