00:00:00.048 --> 00:00:04.888
the illegal refugee knocks on the door, and I can do two things at that point.

2
00:00:04.988 --> 00:00:11.288
I could let in six million of them, and I will immediately be drowning in the

3
00:00:11.348 --> 00:00:16.848
dopamine because I am stroking my luxuriant hair in the mirror of moral preening and

4
00:00:16.908 --> 00:00:21.348
going, "Look what a good person I am. I just let in four hundred thousand Ahmeds into

5
00:00:21.388 --> 00:00:26.208
my society. I'm better than those people who would have judged them." So I got that

6
00:00:26.268 --> 00:00:31.688
dopamine hit. But in doing so, I'm stuck in what's, what I call the myopia of

7
00:00:31.768 --> 00:00:36.968
first-order effects, meaning there is a second-order effect and a third-order effect.

8
00:00:37.068 --> 00:00:43.528
If your society becomes majority Islamic, then we will have a different reality than

9
00:00:43.568 --> 00:00:49.240
the one that your children grew up in. So Don't succumb to the empathy-based dopamine

10
00:00:49.300 --> 00:00:55.680
hit. Recognize that life is not a first-order world, but has a domino effect.
