Born in Germany, she received a doctorate in history from Trinity College Dublin. Her blog, \u201cRead On, My Dear, Read On\u201d, detailed the history of her own family. Several of her relatives had been murdered in the Holocaust, but her grandparents survived. She wrenchingly described how every year, on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, they would sit in the darkness, waiting for all those relatives \u2014 22, to be exact \u2014 who never came home. She kept in her pocket the yellow star which her grandmother had worn at Auschwitz. Hingst\u2019s family was also blighted by a more recent tragedy: her mother, Rachel, had committed suicide. Hingst herself, however,\u00a0led an altruistic life. She spent some time working at a hospital in an Indian slum. In Germany she ran sex education classes for Syrian refugees. She was thoughtful, sensitive, and interesting. People wanted to hear her story, and she enjoyed telling it.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityflowjournal.com\/?p=735\">Eric Hobsbawm\u2019s age of contradictions<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There was just one problem. None of it was true. She never worked in an Indian slum or as a sex educator. She was not Jewish. None of her relatives died in the Holocaust. She had conjured up 22 Holocaust victims out of thin air, giving them Jewish-sounding names, and depositing falsified information about them at Yad Vashem. \u201cRachel\u201d didn\u2019t exist. \u201cMy daughter has many realities,\u201d her real, living mother explained to a journalist. \u201cI only have access to one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hingst had spent years weaving a web of lies. Readers of her blog gradually began to notice small inconsistencies. Doubts started to grow. In 2019, an expos\u00e9 in\u00a0<em>Der Spiegel<\/em>\u00a0took a wrecking ball to the whole edifice that she had carefully built up. A month later she killed herself. She was 31.<\/p>\n<p>Sophie Hingst did not deserve to die. Neither did Jason Arday. We all know the mythology that now attaches to the former Cambridge professor, found dead at his home on Friday: the\u00a0plagiarism, the marathons, the nonverbal autism, the brain tumor, the illiteracy, the armed intruder, the pig\u2019s head. But beneath it all \u2014 if it needs to be said \u2014 was a man, a father, whose death marks a horrible end to a sorry tale.<\/p>\n<p>Already the blame game has begun. The Labour MP\u00a0Dawn Butler\u00a0has written to IPSO accusing the press of a \u201charassment campaign\u201d. \u201cMany of us believe that Jason would still be alive today if not for the relentless and pernicious coverage by the\u00a0<em>Times<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Telegraph<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Mail<\/em>, and\u00a0<em>Spectator<\/em>\u201d. (It is worth noting that the most damning investigation of Arday, the one that really brought things to a head, was published by\u00a0<em>The Guardian<\/em>, a newspaper which Butler\u00a0wrote\u00a0for just a few days ago.) The Prime Minister has\u00a0invited\u00a0us to spend a moment \u201creflecting on how things came to this\u201d.\u00a0Mary Beard similarly urges \u201ctaking a break from any discussion of Cambridge\u2019s policies\u201d in order to \u201cremember with compassion the person who paid a dreadful price\u201d. Thus she deftly forecloses any possibility that \u201creflection\u201d might end up indicting the university for its part in the fiasco.<\/p>\n<p>In attempting such reflection on Arday, however, and on the events of the past month in the light of their tragic conclusion, we quickly run into a problem: we are bad at thinking about suicide.<\/p>\n<p>I first became aware of that when I was at school. One of the older, un-PC teachers announced to the class that, due to some diktat from the higher-ups, he would no longer mark our homework with a\u00a0red pen. \u201cApparently if I do,\u201d he said, \u201cyou\u2019ll kill yourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From there it was a short step toward saying that the marks themselves, and not just the color of ink they were made out in, should be shaped by an overbearing consciousness of suicide. That, sure enough, is the governing mindset in education today. Universities take a slacker approach to deadlines; discussion of in-person, closed-book exams \u2014 a pressing issue in the age of ChatGPT \u2014 is stifled by the fear that they would pile on to the already weighty burden on anxious student minds.<\/p>\n<p>The word \u201csuicide\u201d, as this serves to show, has an extraordinary coercive power. But it has to be handled with tremendous care, not least because it can be a contagious act. This is difficult terrain, but the Samaritans provide a helpful guide. They wisely caution us, for example, against speculating about the motivations for a given suicide, or ascribing it to a single cause. Suicide tends to resist neat rationalization.<\/p>\n<p>That didn\u2019t stop\u00a0Teachers\u2019 Unions\u00a0blaming Ofsted, and indeed the very notion of applying rigorous standards to schools, for the\u00a0suicide\u00a0of headteacher Ruth Perry in 2023. Nor does it stop the constant invocation of suicide in the debate over gender transition in children. Such rhetoric explicitly intends to shut down debate. When Kathleen Stock spoke at the\u00a0Oxford Union, an activist glued herself to the floor wearing a T-Shirt with the slogan, \u201cNo more dead trans kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This logic is not confined to one part of the political spectrum.\u00a0Pete Newbon was a lecturer in English literature at Northumbria University. He was a director of Labour Against Antisemitism and a passionate critic of Jeremy Corbyn. In 2021 a Twitter spat with the Left-wing children\u2019s author Michael Rosen caused his employer to be inundated with complaints. Issued with a final warning, and while embroiled in a separate legal case concerning his behavior online, he took his own life. Some fellow anti-Corbynites suggested that Rosen and his allies were to blame, thus turning a complex case into a political cudgel.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityflowjournal.com\/?p=733\">Inside the Albanian revolution<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Suicide is a tragedy. It is\u00a0not an argument. It is not a\u00a0<em>good<\/em> argument, in any case. It turns\u00a0political disagreement into a hostage situation. In ordinary personal relations we would call this manipulative, even abusive. Chad Varah, the founder of the Samaritans, understood as much, and knew just how to deal with it. A client once rang him up, threatening that she would kill herself if he didn\u2019t make time for her there and then. \u201cYou do that, sweetie,\u201d he replied, \u201cand I\u2019ll find out where you\u2019re buried and come and piss on your grave.\u201d Harsh as it may seem, this was the compassionate thing to say. Varah refused to suspend his usual rules and standards to make a special case. He did not want to give the vulnerable woman the impression that her suicide threats would have their desired impact, and thereby risk encouraging her to act on them.<\/p>\n<p>That the risk of suicide can be used as a means of censorship is, in Arday\u2019s case, no mere hypothetical. Last year, a police officer called a\u00a0journalist\u00a0investigating Arday \u2014 an act for which the Met has since\u00a0apologized \u2014 advising him to cease and desist for the sake of Arday\u2019s mental health. There is, however, a balance to be struck between taking such a risk seriously and allowing it to place legitimate scrutiny off limits. The suggestion now being made by Butler and others is that this police officer was right all along: that the risk of suicide \u2014 a risk which sadly materialized \u2014 ought to have put the whole matter to bed for good. Tragically, the attempt to suppress scrutiny carried risks of its own: once the scandal did break, it concerned not only his academic integrity but a serious and heavy-handed cover-up.<\/p>\n<p>It risks being forgotten that there were very good public interest reasons for the Arday story to have garnered so much attention. Somehow, the story damned everyone. The police, for serving as a Cambridge professor\u2019s personal goon-squad. British libel law for elbowing out the <em>Times Higher Education<\/em>\u00a0and leaving Arday in the maw of Nathan Cofnas. The fields of sociology and education, which allowed him to ascend to the top of the profession and exalted his work as \u201cthe best in the world\u201d. The roster of universities, which patted him through without bothering to apply standards or even to check that his work was his own.<\/p>\n<p>Cambridge comes out particularly badly. They appointed him to a post for which he seemed manifestly unsuited. Having spent years waving him around as a mascot, they dumped him once the details of the case, which they ought to have known all along, made him more embarrassing than he was worth. They had a stronger interest than anyone in personalizing what most of the press understood to be a much wider scandal: they were the ones who suggested that Arday was<em>\u00a0sui generi<\/em>s, an \u201caberration\u201d. The story invited questions about all those things and more. None of those questions has gone away.<\/p>\n<p>Those are among the reasons\u00a0the affair has dominated the headlines for an unusually long time. Some of\u00a0it\u00a0might\u00a0also\u00a0be because it is \u201csilly season\u201d. Some of it, too, can be explained by the sheer scale of the fantasy, each revealed falsehood more outlandish than the last.<\/p>\n<p>It could have been otherwise: if the\u00a0<em>Times Higher Education<\/em>\u00a0had been able to report the story as intended, this expos\u00e9 might have looked more like the <em>Observer<\/em>\u2019s impressive investigation last year of Raynor Winn\u2019s\u00a0<em>Salt Path<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the story unfolded in agonizing slow-motion, with Arday and those around him having to attempt live damage control (sometimes contradicting each other) as his life came crashing down. The press was relentless \u2014 one can only imagine the effect of a drip-fed character assassination on a vulnerable psyche. Here, perhaps, the straightforward demolition of his fantasies by the\u00a0<em>Guardian<\/em> was, if anything, more distressing than the litany of anti-DEI columns \u2014 precisely because the details of the matter were damning enough.<\/p>\n<p>Arday\u2019s\u00a0eventual\u00a0resignation of his professorial chair might have thrown some cold water on the\u00a0scandal, at least as it related to him personally. But then the scandal was kept alive by Simon &amp; Schuster\u2019s decision to publish his memoir, encouraging legions of readers to go through his made-up stories with a fine-tooth comb. At the time of writing,\u00a0it still hasn\u2019t been pulled.<\/p>\n<p>When Sophie Hingst killed herself in 2019, <em>Der Spiegel<\/em> came under immense pressure. The media in Ireland, where she lived, tended toward the view that Hingst was vulnerable, her wrongdoing victimless, and <em>Der Spiegel <\/em>out of order. But <em>Der Spiegel<\/em> held their nerve. They stuck to a solid principle: investigative journalists cannot be cowed by the fear that their subjects might kill themselves. The mental health of any fabulist will suffer when their webs come unspun. The deaths of Hingst and Arday are tragic. But they cannot retrospectively make reporting illegitimate.<\/p>\n<p><em>You can call Samaritans for free on 116 123, email them at jo@samaritans.org, or visit www.samaritans.org to find your nearest branch.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityflowjournal.com\/?p=731\">How to Nixonmaxx the right way<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marie Sophie Hingst was a promising young woman.
