GAD SAAD | How Infectious Ideas Kill Common Sense

We all know how dangerous ideology can be and, yet, some of the most destructive ideas tend to be the most pervasive in society. Why is that? And, how do these parasitic ideas spread so effectively?

My guest today is evolutionary psychologist and author of The Parasitic Mind: How infectious Ideas are Killing Common Sense, Gad Saad. Today, Gad and I discuss his guiding principles: truth and freedom, what he refers to as the "Holy Trinity of Bullshit," the dangers of post-modernism, the other deadly sin most people don't talk about, the woke mob's desire to eliminate culture and history, and how to use your voice against these dangerous ideologies.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

  • The importance of telling the hard truth
  • Postmodernism is a form of intellectual terrorism
  • The idea pathogen of social constructivism
  • Life is about tradeoffs
  • The distinction between feeling and thinking
  • Using the lexicographic rule in politics
  • Sifting through all of the information we have available
  • Don't set out to offend, but be willing to offend
  • The more things change, the more they stay the same
  • Choosing what is worth pursuing
  • The attacks on truth are relentless
  • Most people lack the courage to use their voice
  • Walk through life like a honey badger
