Empathy for Child Sex Traffickers and their Victims

[Leo Gura]

Absolute and relative matters are getting conflated here.

Evil is ultimately unreal but that don't mean you want to marry a serial killer.

The human self cannot care that evil is unreal. When a serial killer is chasing you, you will not give any fucks about the ontology of evil. You run from terror.

Didn't Leo also make a video about evil as something that doesn't really exist ? I think thats the actual point that DeMartini was making.

yes, Evil doesn't exist as an absolute entinty. But "evil" as what we society call evil exists as a social construct and people like those are relatively more "evil" than other more conscious ones.

Yup, as a broad rule, we humans call evil those things that fuck up with our survival.
