Dr Gad Saad -- The Parasitic Mind - How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense

Known for his appearances on the Joe Rogan Experience, Rubin Report and, most recently, Jordan Peterson's podcast, Prof. Gad Saad is a world-renowned Canadian evolutionary psychologist at Montreal's Concordia University. He also hosts ‘The Saad Truth’ YouTube channel. In this episode of "So What You're Saying Is..." (#SWYSI​), Prof. Saad discusses his best-selling new book, "The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense". This fascinating work exposes how an epidemic of idea pathogens are spreading like a virus and killing common sense in the West. He argues that, as a result, the West’s commitment to freedom, reason, and true liberalism have become endangered by a series of viral forces in our society today. Serving as a powerful follow-up to Jordan Peterson’s book "12 Rules for Life", Dr. Saad unpacks what is really happening in progressive safe zones, why we need to be paying more attention to these trends, and what we must do to stop the spread of dangerous thinking. Dr. Saad dissects a multitude of the concerning forces (corrupt thought patterns, belief systems, attitudes, etc.) that have given rise to a stifling political correctness in our society and how these have created serious consequences that must be remedied - before it’s too late.
