Who was Pava LaPere?

 When a rat is infected by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, it becomes strangely attracted to its greatest predator, the cat, chasing it until it finds the feline and makes itself available to become its food.

Something similar happens to humans, with or without a protozoan that parasitizes and zombifies its victim, when one chooses an analogous path of ignorance and naiveté that leads, those who allow themselves to be deceived, sometimes literally, to an encounter with a predator...

This is what happened to Pava LaPere, a young American, white, and leftist woman, CEO of a technology company she herself created, who was raped and murdered by a Black man in 2023. Yes! A young, idealistic woman, full of well-intentioned ideas, attempted to combine technology with her distorted, excessively abstract vision of social justice, resulting in her own death when, naively, she saw no problem in allowing this strange "man" into her building at night, probably believing it would be racist to suspect him, leading to her tragic fate...

Pava was yet another victim of her own beliefs, of her own well-intentioned folly... If she had been educated about some of the most important social and statistical facts, perhaps she would have feared for her life that fateful night and would not have let that man into her building. And we would have had her with us, with her smile and her idealistic desire for a better world. And if she had any real potential to learn from experience, to gain wisdom, she would have abandoned those same beliefs that, in reality, contributed to taking her life so young. For there are many "Pavas" appearing in the world recently. They are the result of decades of profound ideological indoctrination embedded in the heart of Western culture. But they are also products of their own intellectual and emotional frailties, even in the case of a "young prodigy," if what matters is not grand achievements, but rather the most important thing, which is the constant search for an objective and impartial understanding of the world in which one lives, a much more humble, but also necessary, way to stop always projecting one's beliefs or desires onto the world, so that one can first truly understand it as it is...
