Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. The evolutionary behavioral scientist and public intellectual Gad Saad recently published an influential book entitled Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind. In it, Saad argues that much of the West has, unfortunately, come to embrace a perversely deficient understanding of empathy, twisting the natural and otherwise noble human capacity to feel and respond to other peoples' sufferings into a moral license to upend the moral, economic, and political order. According to the dictates of suicidal empathy, for example, society should prioritize criminals over victims, illegal immigrants over citizens, lawbreakers over law abiders, racial identity over competence, adult sexual expression over childhood innocence, and trans women––that is, men pretending to be women––over real women. Suicidal empathy's endgame, Saad warns, is nothing less than societal ruin and the eventual totalitarian eclipse of the individual. How, from a Catholic perspective, should we assess these claims? Is Saad's characterization of suicidal empathy and its dangers accurate? If so, how should we, as Christians, constructively respond? What role, in particular, should the biblical conception of love play in defining what it means to show true compassion and care for those in need? Here to discuss Saad's book and to explain how authentic Christian charity is—and is not—related to empathy, is Bishop Robert Barron. Topics Covered 00:00 | Introduction 01:40 | Bishop Barron interviews JD Vance 02:45 | How Saad defines "empathy" 04:45 | Saad's argument on the exaggeration of empathy 06:31 | Exploring the concept of "forbidden knowledge" 09:30 | "It will destroy the West"? 11:05 | Connecting wokeism and self-destructive empathy 12:33 | Can we square wokeism's moralizing mandates with its amoral claims? 13:40 | Tracing the movement's origins 16:27 | Mistaking empathy for love 22:01 | Recognizing the fallenness of our emotional lives 27:39 | Does love equate to niceness and kindness? 28:50 | What about "love thy neighbor"? 30:42 | Distinguishing a proper preference for the poor from its unhealthy overemphasis 32:46 | Addressing the Christian impulse beneath the wokeist trappings 34:42 | Listener question: Where was God before time? 36:33 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/ NOTE: Do you like this podcast? Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member!

Civilizations die from suicide, not murder, as a famous historian once said. And Canada's in the process of administering MAID on itself, says author and professor Gad Saad. He discusses his new bestselling book, Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind, with Brian. And he explains the fatal flaw of excessive empathy — and how Canada is rapidly succumbing to it. Radical values imposed by our institutions, embodied in the extreme by the last prime minister, frame our history as shameful. They have led us to embrace immigrants who reject us. And they have made us tolerate the intolerant. It's why Saad says he's moving out of Canada, although he explains how our government isn't making it easy for him to leave.

Calming Anxiety | Finding Beauty in the Broken: A Guided Meditation for Self-AcceptanceIf you have arrived here today feeling like you are simply not enough, or if you are completely exhausted from being your own harshest critic, please take a deep breath. You are in exactly the right place.In this gentle 10-minute guided meditation, we explore the beautiful Japanese art of Kintsugi—the practice of mending broken pottery with seams of pure, liquid gold. Instead of hiding the cracks, Kintsugi celebrates them, making the mended piece far more beautiful and resilient than it ever was before.Together, we will apply this philosophy to our own lives. Your past mistakes, your regrets, and the places where life has broken you are not flaws to be hidden away. They are your seams of gold. They are exactly where your wisdom, your deep compassion, and your unique humanity live. Allow yourself to set down the heavy burden of perfection, quiet your inner critic, and take a meaningful step toward a happier life.Today's Three Daily Caring TipsTalk to yourself like someone you love: The next time you catch your inner voice turning harsh or critical, pause. Ask yourself if you would ever say those words to your closest friend. Gently adjust your tone and offer yourself the same kindness you give to others.Collect one good thing: Before you sleep tonight, look back and name just one single thing you did well today, no matter how small it might seem. Building self-worth doesn't require grand gestures; it is built steadily in the simple act of noticing.Let a mistake be a teacher, not a verdict: When something goes wrong, consciously swap the phrase "I am a failure" for "I am learning." One acts as a cage that keeps you trapped; the other is a door that opens up your future.Thank you for sharing your time and space with me today. If this session brought you comfort, please consider leaving a kind review to help others find their way to our community.For more guided meditations tailored to your mood, support on your wellness journey, and to explore the Anchored app, visit us at calminganxiety.fm.Until tomorrow, my friend... love all that you are, and then in everything...Be Kind.

Is the west suffering from too much empathy? The argument has been advanced by Gad Saad in his New York Times best seller Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind , where he argues that excessive empathy from the political left is leading society down a self destructive path. But there is another perspective which argues that we need more empathy not less. Adrian Goldberg hears from Vaughan Smith - a war correspondent and one of the founders of London's Frontline Club - whose new book The Extraction Pattern stands as a rebuttal of Gad Saad. Produced in Birmingham by Adrian Goldberg and Harvey White. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After surviving childhood abuse, foster care, homelessness, addiction, family trauma, mental illness, and devastating personal loss, Adriene refused to let her past define her future.

Be Honest. Be Kind. This conversation is more than an interview—it's a reminder that your past does not have to determine your future.

Newt talks with Dr. Gad Saad, a scholar at the Declaration of Independence Center for the Study of American Freedom at the University of Mississippi and professor of marketing at Concordia University. His new book, “Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind,” is a number one New York Times nonfiction bestseller. Dr. Saad argues that empathy is vital but must be properly calibrated; too little empathy risks psychopathy, while “hyperactive empathy” misdirected toward the wrong targets becomes “suicidal empathy,” which he believes underlies many domestic and foreign policy failures. Dr. Saad links “Suicidal Empathy” to his earlier book “The Parasitic Mind,” arguing that human decision-making is shaped by both cognitive and affective systems. He claims that just as minds can be infected by ideological brainworms, they can also be captured by dysregulated empathy, allowing activists and policymakers to hijack emotional responses and override critical thinking. Dr. Saad dates the roots of today’s academic and cultural crises to “parasitic ideas” incubated in universities 50–100 years ago, including cultural relativism and postmodernism.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Understanding the Adrenaline HangoverWhen you experience a panic attack, your system is flooded with adrenaline and cortisol. Even after the "threat" is gone, these chemicals take time to clear, often leaving you feeling emotionally grey, achy, or tearful. This isn't a sign of weakness; it is your body performing essential "clean-up work".Timed Chapters00:00 – Identifying the "Adrenaline Hangover" 02:45 – Vagus Nerve Breathing: The 4-2-6 Technique 04:16 – Guided Visualization: The Room and the Fire 07:17 – Recovery Affirmations 08:30 – 3 Daily Caring Tips for Post-Anxiety Recovery 10:16 – Returning to the Room & Final Reflection Affirmations for HealingAs you listen, let these truths settle into your mind:"My body did exactly what it was built to do.

My nervous system is intelligent and it is healing." 3 Daily Caring Tips for RecoveryFeed the Recovery: Your blood sugar often drops after a high-adrenaline event. Eat something small and nourishing—like a banana or a handful of nuts—to give your body the fuel it needs to finish the "clean-up".Don't Analyze It Yet: Avoid the urge to replay or "fix" the event immediately. Your thinking is still distorted by clearing cortisol; give yourself until tomorrow to process.Tell Your Body It's Over: Use gentle physical movement, like a warm shower or a slow walk, to help flush remaining stress hormones from your bloodstream.Join the CommunityRiding out a full anxiety spike and choosing calm over chaos is an enormous achievement.

The West is dying to be kind. Dr. Gad Saad joins Erick Stakelbeck to expose the dangerous ideology behind his explosive new book, Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind—and why America and the West are destroying themselves in the name of compassion. From anti-Semitism and open borders to radical gender ideology, Islamist migration, socialism, and the collapse of common sense, Dr. Saad warns that the West is being infected by “parasitic ideas” that lead not to kindness—but to civilizational suicide.   As a Lebanese-born immigrant who fled chaos and found freedom in the West, Dr. Saad brings a powerful warning: America is not the default setting of history.    Freedom is rare. Civilization is fragile. And if we don't fight for it, we can lose it. This is a clarion call for courage, truth, and moral sanity in an age of madness. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of Mark Levin on Memorial Day. Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner is a profoundly disturbed individual whom Democrats refuse to disavow because they prioritize power above all else. Platner, who's a self-described Communist, trashes American troops and police and he must be stopped from reaching the Senate. Then there's a woman running in the Democrat primary for Texas's 35th congressional district who advocated placing Zionists in concentration camps and worse. Jewish elected Democrats need to leave this party, which is now the party of Islamists, Marxists, and neo-Nazis. Also, WABC's John Catsimatidis calls in to discuss the difficulties of running supermarkets in NYC and the proposal by Mayor Mamdani for city government-run grocery stores. He argued that government stores giving away these products would take sales from private businesses, harming the workers who labor 70-80 hours a week and ultimately burdening taxpayers when the city absorbs the losses, while politicians face no consequences. Later, a history lesson on the electoral college. Afterward, callers weigh in on and express their desire for the Iranian regime to be defeated!  Finally, Gad Saad calls in to discuss his new book - Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind. This book is not an attack on empathy itself—an evolutionarily relevant virtue rooted in theory of mind or cognitive empathy that enables good human interactions—but rather a warning against its hyper-firing in the wrong situations toward the wrong targets. This critique of maladaptively irrational altruism has gripped our culture. This mind parasite hijacked the empathy module of our progressive elite, leading to a catastrophic miscalibration of moral priorities. Learn more about your ad choices.

Gad Saad returns to discuss his new book Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind, a provocative argument that empathy is not a moral trump card. Empathy can illuminate suffering, but it can also distort judgment when it is treated as an unquestionable virtue, applied selectively, or insulated from consequences. Saad's central claim is that many Western institutions have learned to treat compassion as a substitute for judgment. In practice, he argues, this can mean extending sympathy toward the wrong targets (for example, criminals over victims), excusing destructive behavior, rewarding ideological conformity over truth, or denying uncomfortable facts in the name of kindness. The result is a moral framework that feels humane in the moment but can produce outcomes that are unfair, irrational, or even dangerous. The conversation covers cultural relativism, islamism, suicide cults, kamikaze pilots, immigration and foreign aid, forbidden knowledge, and why some ideas spread and take hold while others fade away. Gad Saad is a professor and an evolutionary behavioral scientist. He has authored numerous scientific papers and pioneered the use of evolutionary psychology in marketing and consumer behavior. In addition to his scientific work, he often writes and speaks about idea pathogens that are destroying logic, science, reason, and common sense. He is the host of The Saad Truth podcast. His new book is Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind.

Mathieu are ministry strategists and consultants with the Malphurs Group, a firm dedicated to helping churches develop healthy, mission-driven cultures.
