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!

Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, evolutionary behavioral scientist Gad Saad joins Eric to discuss his new book Suicidal Empathy: Dying To Be Kind. Saad explains why empathy is necessary but can become destructive when it is detached from reality, and how cultural relativism, postmodernism, open-border thinking, elite “luxury beliefs,” and civilizational self-doubt are weakening the West. He also explains why he remains both optimistic and deeply concerned about whether Western societies will act in time to reverse the trend.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World

James Lindsay returns for a two-hour deep dive: his own journey from lifelong Democrat to Trump voter, how Trump Derangement Syndrome became what he calls one of the most wide-ranging psychological operations in modern history, the 130-year throughline from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to today's "Israel Derangement Syndrome," what Salafism and the book Milestones actually teach, and why he says American schools are deliberately inducing emotional crises in kids to turn them into activists.  Notable Quotes "It's one of the most wide-ranging psychological operations that's ever been executed on the American public — honestly, the global public." — James Lindsay, on Trump Derangement Syndrome "The second she said 'I'm voting for Trump,' it clicked in my head. I have permission from my broader social universe to do this." — James Lindsay "You must never, ever give one drop more information than was asked for." — James Lindsay, on talking to people who disagree with you "People overestimate how well they know things. The only way to open their mind is to have them explain what they think they know but don't actually know for themselves, at length." — James Lindsay, on the illusion of explanatory depth "The idea is: we're going to do a bunch of stuff, so let's blame the Jews for doing that stuff, so that when we do it, people get mad at Jews and not at us." — James Lindsay, on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion "Anti-Zionism is a reformulation of the classic Soviet anti-imperialist narrative against Britain and against the United States." — James Lindsay "Don't let anybody ever call you a racist for objecting to Islam. It is certainly not racial in any way whatsoever to reject Islam." — James Lindsay "Have you tried voting? If Republicans who care about this country showed up in double their present numbers, almost every one of these problems we're freaking out about could be stopped." — James Lindsay "We are bigotryophobic to the point where we're so afraid that people will identify us as some social evil — specifically, some form of bigotry — that we will do anything to make sure that perception doesn't leak out." — James Lindsay "Better, in fact, is worse — because it hides the possibility of a fundamentally different world." — James Lindsay, on critical theory "This is psychological, emotional abuse on children, done intentionally, as an educational program backed by the state." — James Lindsay, on ethnic studies curricula   People & Organizations to Follow RAIR Foundation USA — Amy Mek's investigative organization tracking radical mosques, imams, and Islamist funding in the US Benedict Beckeld — writer/researcher who argues "oikophobia" (hatred of one's own society), not suicidal empathy, is the real driver Gad Saad — evolutionary psychologist and author, coined/popularized "suicidal empathy" White Rose Magazine — cited for essays on Islam as a political ideology   Time stamps 1:13 — James's political evolution begins (TDS backstory) 6:42 — The "very fine people" clip story 14:02 — TDS as a mass psychological operation 15:59 — No Kings rallies irony 18:11 — How to talk to people who disagree with you 19:54 — Illusion of explanatory depth / toilet study 27:05 — Israel Derangement Syndrome introduced 29:26 — History: Protocols of the Elders of Zion 34:15 — Post-WWI Middle East / British Mandate history 39:55 — 1948 War and the Nakba 42:01 — Six Day War, USS Liberty, Soviet pivot to anti-Zionism 44:25 — Anti-Zionism enters Western academia / the New Left 50:58 — Where does this go?

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.

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

What happens when a society elevates victimhood to a virtue and decides that punishment is cruel? You get the disease Dr. Gad Saad calls suicidal empathy. And the West may be terminally infected. Saad says “maladaptively irrational altruism” has gripped our culture. He calls it a mind parasite that has hijacked the empathy module of our progressive elite, leading to a catastrophic miscalibration of moral priorities. The results are everywhere: from coddling violent criminals to protecting rapists to branding self-defense as toxic behavior. He says we are witnessing a civilization in rapid decline, with bad policies instituted because we prioritize the feelings of ostensibly marginalized groups over the truth, criminals over victims, and squatters over homeowners. Saad says this is not only not humane—it's an active dismantling of the pillars that keep us safe and free. In his new book, Suicidal Empathy, Saad makes the case that we are experiencing a crisis of empathy that creates a horrifying system of inverse morality where the strong and successful are demonized, the destructive are celebrated, illegal migrants are prioritized over our own legal citizens and veterans, drug addicts are prioritized over children's safety in parks, and more.  Is common sense dying in a deluge of misguided compassion? Join us as Gad Saad makes a provocative return to Commonwealth Club World Affairs. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Live July 8, 2026 | Yaron Brook Show(Season 12, Episode 118)Chinese AI; NATO; Ukraine; Iran; Freedom Fuel; Woke Act; Skilled Jobs; Achievement | Yaron Brook ShowCan China Beat America in AI? Trump's NATO Pivot, Iran, Woke Defeated, and Why Capitalism Still WinsThe AI race is accelerating—and China may be closing the gap. Is America still positioned to lead, or are bad policies putting innovation at risk?In this episode of The Yaron Brook Show, Yaron examines the rapidly changing AI landscape, OpenAI's newest model, soaring industry valuations, and what China's technological rise really means for America's future. He also analyzes Trump's evolving positions on NATO, Ukraine, and Iran, the administration's "Freedom Fuel" initiative, a major court ruling against Florida's WOKE Act, and why America's shortage of skilled workers reveals deeper problems in education.The conversation then turns to a surprisingly optimistic look at economic progress. Despite endless headlines about decline, Americans continue to enjoy rising incomes, improving living standards, greater energy efficiency, and remarkable technological advances—from AI to SpaceX. Are we living through one of history's greatest periods of human achievement while convincing ourselves everything is falling apart?The show concludes with an extended live Q&A covering capitalism's future, AI and education, China versus the United States, Iran, Dubai, Cuba, immigration, creative destruction, Poland, Stephen Miller, Gad Saad, and much more.If you enjoy serious analysis grounded in reason, individual rights, free markets, and Objectivism, subscribe and join the conversation.Watch the full episode: https://youtube.com/live/lgOwohqyPYQMain Topics00:00 Introduction & London Documentary Update03:43 China's AI Challenge & Industry Competition09:19 Can AI Companies Actually Make Money?14:16 OpenAI's New Model15:08 Trump, NATO & America's Alliances20:10 Spain, Syria & Defense Politics24:04 Ukraine's Growing Missile Capability28:25 Trump's Iran Strategy Changes Again32:03 Iran, U.S. Policy & Contradictions39:30 "Freedom Fuel" Initiative Explained43:16 Court Strikes Down the WOKE Act50:04 Privatizing Education51:37 Stanford & Ideological Capture57:17 America's Skilled Labor Shortage1:02:51 Rising Wages & Income Growth1:06:49 Poverty Trends Few People Discuss1:07:25 Why Quality of Life Keeps Improving1:08:48 Technology, AI & Human Progress1:10:01 Energy Efficiency & Economic Growth1:11:30 Why Goods Get Cheaper While Services Rise1:12:34 SpaceX, Satellites & the Next AI Revolution1:15:11 London Documentary Fundraising UpdateLive Audience Questions1:25:32 Will America Still Be Free 100 Years From Now?1:26:28 Why Do Some Parents Abandon Their Adult Children?1:28:17 Leaving Islam: Overcoming Religious Conditioning1:29:54 Would a Reformed Cuba Become Investable?1:30:31 Is Dubai Actually an Architectural Success?1:31:32 Can China Overtake America in AI?1:31:55 What Would End the Iran, Gaza & Russia Wars?1:33:11 Has Iran Compromised Trump?1:33:56 Is the GOP's Position on Somali Immigration Justified?1:34:58 How Influential Is Stephen Miller?1:35:25 Is "Suicidal Empathy" About Evolution or Ideas?1:36:38 What Makes India's IITs So Successful?1:36:52 Is China More Rational Than Iran?1:37:09 How Should Workers Adapt to Creative Destruction?1:38:23 AI in Schools: Another Calculator Moment?1:39:26 Why Is Poland Different From Western Europe?1:41:31 Candace Owens, TPUSA & Public IntellectualsSubscribe for daily analysis on economics, politics, philosophy, technology, investing, and current events.#ArtificialIntelligence #China #OpenAI #Trump #NATO #Ukraine #Iran #Capitalism #Objectivism #Iran #Economics The Yaron Brook Show is Sponsored by[The Ayn Rand Institute](https://www.aynrand.org/starthere)[Energy Talking Points, featuring AlexAI, by Alex Epstein](https://alexepstein.substack.com/)[Express VPN](https://www.expressvpn.com/yaron)[Hendershott Wealth Management](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4lfC...) &(https://hendershottwealth.com/ybs/)[Michael Williams & The Defenders of Capitalism Project](https://www.DefendersOfCapitalism.com)[Support the Show]( / yaronbrookshow )[Sponsor the Show](askyaron@yaronbrookshow.com/)[One-time donation](https://bit.ly/2RZOyJJ)Join the [Yaron Brook Show YouTube channel]( / @yaronbrook )Like what you hear?
