Elon Musk praised Dr. Gad Saad's latest book, saying “Western civilization is doomed, unless the core weakness of suicidal empathy is recognized and actions are taken that are hard but necessary for survival.” Saad, who also authored “The Parasitic Mind,” argues that an elite culture has miscalibrated its moral priorities — elevating victimhood, excusing criminals, and branding self-defense as toxic. He breaks down why intelligent, self-aware people double down on destructive ideas, how the “empathy module” gets hijacked, and why he believes civilization is in rapid decline unless the pattern is reversed. Then, retired Canadian Armed Forces Master Warrant Officer Jeff Evely — a 20-year veteran who deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq — joins to discuss his deliberate stand against government overreach after being hit with a fine of more than $28,000 for (intentionally) walking on banned land, a case he intends to challenge in court. Evely also weighs in on the fight over pediatric gender medicine and the politics now driving healthcare decisions for children. Gad Saad, Ph.D. is a scholar at the Declaration of Independence Center for the Study of American Freedom at the University of Mississippi. He is the author of “Suicidal Empathy: Dying to be Kind” as well as “The Parasitic Mind” and “The Saad Truth About Happiness.” Follow at https://x.com/gadsaad Master Warrant Officer (Ret'd) Jeff Evely is a retired veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, born and raised in Coxheath, Nova Scotia. He enlisted in 2001 as an electronic communications specialist and served for 20 years, deploying to Afghanistan (2009) and Iraq (2019), and serving with NORAD (2010–2014). In 2025, he ran as a federal candidate for the People's Party of Canada. Follow at https://x.com/JeffEvely 「 SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS 」 • FATTY15 – The future of essential fatty acids is here!

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.
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Gad Saad about his new book Suicidal Empathy and how empathy, when detached from reason and critical thinking, can be manipulated to advance destructive ideas; why social media, emotional appeals, and ideological activism often bypass logic and exploit human psychology; the connection between The Parasitic Mind and Suicidal Empathy as explanations for how both cognition and emotions can be hijacked; the psychology of persuasion, evolutionary biology, academia, and why many institutions increasingly reward feelings over facts; how Elon Musk helped popularize the concept of suicidal empathy in the broader culture; why he believes America remains more resilient than Canada and the United Kingdom due to the First Amendment, Second Amendment, and a stronger culture of individual liberty; how mass immigration, multiculturalism, anti-meritocratic policies, and the "red-green alliance" between progressives and Islamists are transforming Western societies; threats to free speech, Western values, and national identity; his appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast, their debate over Israel, Zionism, antisemitism, and the history of the Middle East; why Saad believes Rogan has been influenced by voices in the podcast world that are increasingly critical of Israel; the rise of the "woke right," online political tribalism, and misinformation; and why he fears Canada and Britain are accelerating toward cultural and political decline, and much more.

Hello, my friends! Today we are going to be talking about the very interesting and thought-provoking book, Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense by Dr. Gad Saad.This book was a ton of fun to read and I had a ton of fun recording this episode. I hope you'll enjoy listening to it!Thanks for listening, and enjoy the show!Mentioned in this episode:Human Cure by Tom Withers
This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Gad Saad. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked Woke ideology is unfailingly irrational. Claims of systemic oppression in the West are easily disproven. And while activists claim to stand for tolerance and empathy, their intolerance and authoritarianism know no bounds. Here, Gad Saad – evolutionary psychologist, host of The Saad Truth and author of The Parasitic Mind – explains why woke spreads, despite its obvious dangers and contradictions. Indeed, it is the well educated, he argues, who are especially vulnerable to these infectious ideas. To win the culture war, we must inoculate society against this ‘mind virus'.
Gad Saad is an evolutionary psychologist, Professor, and author of “The Parasitic Mind”. He is known for his critiques of culture and uses the term “suicidal empathy” to describe the West and its failures. His focus is on evolutionary psychology and consumer behavior, and has been a repeat guest on the Joe Rogan Podcast. This week, he joins Roseanne to talk about the Islamisation of the West.

Author of multiple books including The Parasitic Mind, Dr. Gad Saad draws from his groundbreaking research and lived experience and explains how certain ideas can parasitise our minds and shape our behaviour. His blend of scientific knowledge and honesty challenges us all to examine our thought patterns and societal assumptions while offering practical strategies for maintaining clear thinking in an increasingly complex world. Gad Saad REVEALS: His concept of "suicidal empathy" Why our natural capacity for compassion can become pathologically self-destructive The revolutionary framework of "parasitic ideas," demonstrating how certain thought patterns can hijack our cognitive systems The role of high expectations in achievement, using his own family's approach to education to illustrate how cultural values shape success patterns across generations His analysis of institutional resilience explains why certain academic disciplines maintain stronger connections to reality Why the tendency to internalise success and externalise failure influences both personal development and societal prejudices. How to distinguish authentic conviction from surface-level virtue signalling BEST MOMENTS "The biggest threat to freedom of speech short of you living in North Korea or under ISIS, is not the institutional obstacles to freedom of speech, but the self inflicted restrictions." "I never modulate a millimetre of what my heart and mind tells me to say, for better or worse, because based on my own code of personal conduct, if I modulate that, then I feel that I'm being fraudulent." "Don't pursue happiness wilfully, rather pursue life with honesty, dignity, and authenticity and the downstream effects as you'll wake up and you say ‘life is good’." "Be a honey badger.

In this episode of the Gatekeeper podcast, Gadi Taub speaks with renowned evolutionary psychologist Gad Saad about his book The Parasitic Mind (now available in Hebrew too) about his first encounter with anti-Semitism as a child, back in Lebanon, about how woke ideas colonize our minds and attack our civilization, and about whether it is all no more than a new version of Cultural Marxism (it isn't just that). One thing should be clear by now: humor is a most effective tool against wokeness, and Saad has been employing it effectively.

“Sneaky f**kers is a zoological term from the 1970s,” Professor Gad Saad explains. “I applied it to explain male social justice warriors.” Dr. Saad's ‘Sneaky F**ckers' theory is based on a zoological mating strategy that found weaker males of certain species would make themselves appear more female in order to avoid challenges from the pack's alpha. The theory proposes that weaker human males are now employing the same tactics through a form of wokefishing – performative feminism, self-hating racism, and the display of public-facing amulets like cloth masks, pronouns in bios, or aposematic hair coloring – even though their ultimate goal is the same (or worse) than the biologically stronger males that they are trying to avoid.

It's wonderful to have Ya'akov Katz back to discuss domestic Israeli politics and leadership. We jump into the discussion using his superb piece published last Friday in The Jewish Chronicle. (The link is set out in podcast notes, below.) On the one hand, Ya'akov writes, we have a very Machiavellian leader who is constantly calculating where and how to achieve an advantage, which, I suppose, is the mark of any successful politician. With Bibi, though, it's about degree. And then there is the Bibi who has led Israel through these dreadful 15 months since October 7 and is taking credit for having redrawn the map of the Middle East. That's where it gets complicated. How much is because of Bibi, how much is because of a strong collective effort, and how much is, well, just serendipitous? You can listen to the podcast version—link at the top of this note—or check out our YouTube channel, where you get to watch us too!As you may be aware, we launched our YouTube channel last week with a long interview with Professor Gad Sa'ad, author international bestseller, The Parasitic Mind, and among the most influential public intellectuals.

I am thrilled to bring you this fascinating chat with Professor Gad Sa'ad, an iconic intellectual figure who helps us to make sense of this seemingly mad moment in history. Sharp, brilliant, fearless—and also very funny—Prof. Sa'ad likens the thought and mind controls pervading western societies to bacteria—or pathogens—that cause disease. It's also the focus of his international best-seller—The Parasitic Mind. We get into antisemitism, why Israel is somewhat inoculated against woke-ness, the moral corruption of western societies, and his week at Mar-a-Lago in the red velvet jacket. (It's a State of Tel Aviv scoop…and a great story.) And much more. Sa'ad first came onto my radar in 2016 with his bullseye critiques of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. While the world swooned, believing him to be impossibly handsome and progressive, Sa'ad saw through the phony platitudes and intellectual deficit. It took Canadians and the world a little longer to see not only the void that was and is Trudeau but how dangerous he is. Canada, sadly, has become the focus of so much negative global attention. The economy is in ruins. Society is cleaved by violence and identity-based divisions. And antisemitism on the streets of Montreal and Toronto is perhaps the most extreme of any city in the world. We dig into it all—and have a few good laughs. Podcast NotesVideo VersionProfessor Sa'ad is on leave from Concordia University this year and is Visiting Professor and Global Ambassador for the 2024-25 academic year at Northwood University in Michigan. Born in Beirut, he has lived most of his life since fleeing Lebanon in 1975 in Montreal, Canada.

Bridget sits down with Gad Saad, author of The Saad Truth About Happiness and The Parasitic Mind, to discuss the Israel/Palestine conflict, the rise in antisemitism they were seeing even before the October 7th attacks, why the level of Jew hatred allowed in society is a canary in the coal mine, and how people in the West take their own mindset for granted and don't appreciate how different the Middle Eastern mindset is. They cover the concept of idea pathogens and how ideas like postmodernism, transgender activism, cultural relativism, and social constructivism have taken over the way they have, how these ideas start with a noble goal which morphs into complete nonsense in the pursuit of that goal and how in the service of that noble goal you murder truth, why the Israel/Palestine issue has nothing to do with land, the fundamental attribution error, Jewish sharks, how Gad maintains a sense of purpose and meaning, the two most important decisions you'll make in life, and why despite everything, you should always have fun and play.Beyond Parody with Bridget Phetasy is a reader-supported publication.

In today's episode, we're joined by Dr. Gad Saad, a professor of marketing at Concordia University's John Molson School of Business. More significantly, Dr. Saad has spent a decade as the research chair in evolutionary behavioral sciences and Darwinian consumption. He's a prominent voice challenging political correctness and its associated oppressions. Beyond his extensive research and academic accolades, Dr. Saad reaches out to a broader audience, sharing his insights through his popular blog, YouTube channel, and podcast. As someone deeply interested in challenging harmful ideologies, I've taken note of his impactful book, The Parasitic Mind. Today, I'm particularly eager to delve into the findings of his latest release, The Saad Truth About Happiness.In our discussion centered around his newest book, we delve into the evolutionary aspects of happiness. As someone who's written extensively on longevity and aims to live to at least 180, I believe in the importance of happiness as a skill. With Dr. Saad, we explore living the life you truly desire, the role of anti-fragility in happiness, and the inherent biological differences in male and female behaviors. It's crucial, especially in today's climate, to understand the triggers that may be rooted in our biology or false belief systems. Drawing from personal experiences, I can vouch for the invaluable insights in Dr. Saad's book. Listeners, it's a must-read for those keen on understanding and cultivating happiness.(03:50) Decision-Making in Relationships & Academia• Must-have ingredients for happiness• The impact of your relationship on happiness• When do you make the decision to decouple from a relationship?• How statistical decision theory applies to academia• Read: The Parasitic Mind by Dr. Gad Saad • The garage band effect that occurs in academia that prevents action-taking• Why academics who go on the Joe Rogan Experience are ridiculed by peers• Read: The Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene• Behind the scenes of our interviews on Joe Rogan's podcast• Joe Rogan Experience #275 - Dave Asprey• Joe Rogan Experience # 2012 - Dr. Gad Saad• Happiness in moderation vs. living high on life(19:40) Perfectionism, Criticism & The Genetics of Happiness• Navigating the inverted U curve for perfectionism• Handling the two groups of critics• The Science Behind Just One Mold Toxin in your Coffee by Dave Asprey• The genetics of happiness • Applying the psychometric scale of internal vs. external locus of control to happiness• How our evolutionary behaviors can become maladaptive in modern society• Exploring how having children impacts happiness • What the research shows about how to choose a long term partner (47:10) Evolutionary Insights on Mating, Cheating & Play• The evolutionary roots of sexual variety seeking • Why certain cultures tolerate women on the side more than other cultures • The impact of birth control and hormonal changes on fertility and attraction• Read: The Mating Mind by Geoffrey Miller• The link between the ovulatory cycle and women's beautification• What increases men's testosterone: a study providing context for the mid-life crisis• Why play is essential for happiness • The re-education of Jordan Peterson• Read: The Saad Truth About Happiness by Dr. Gad SaadResourcesDave Asprey's NEW Book ‘Smarter Not Harder' is out now: https://daveasprey.com/books Website: gadsaad.comRead: The Parasitic Mind by Dr. Gad SaadRead: The Saad Truth About Happiness by Dr. Gad SaadX: @GadSaadPodcast: The Saad TruthYouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCLH7qUqM0PLieCVaHA7RegAInstagram: @doctorgadsaadFacebook: acebook.com/Dr.Gad.SaadLinkedin: linkedin.com/in/gad-saadThe Human Upgrade is produced by Crate Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Charlie welcomes Dr. Gad Saad, Professor of Marketing at Concordia University (Montreal, Canada), and former holder of the Concordia University Research Chair in Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences and Darwinian Consumption. He has held Visiting Associate Professorships at Cornell University, Dartmouth College, and is the author of "The Parasitic Mind." One of the most entertaining and insightful guests we've had on the show, Charlie and Dr. Saad discuss the postmodernists' mental pathogens that are at work in America's most prominent institutions, deconstructing the physical realities and absolute truths of existence. Dr. Saad walks through how these mental parasites have led America to the "abyss of infinite insanity" including the corruption of gender identities, basic ideas of law and order, and timeless truths that built the West. This is a powerful conversation if you want to understand the underlying root causes for some of our day's most chaotic and destructive movements on the progressive left.
