00:00:00.160 Hi everybody, this is Ghat Saad. Happy Father's Day. We are a bi-parental species where dads provide quite a bit of investment to their children and so in the context of the animal kingdom, homo sapiens truly do have super dads, so tip of the hat to all dads out there.
00:00:21.360 I wanted to read a letter that I received from a fan on June 11th that shows you that you can inoculate people against parasitic ideas.
00:00:34.620 So let me read it here for you. I won't mention the person's name, but I will read you the entire message.
00:00:42.460 The subject heading is The Case for Israel.
00:00:44.800 Dear Dr. Saad, I hope you are in great health and doing well. I have read a number of books and listened to the highly informative discussions you take part in on YouTube.
00:00:55.320 I discovered your work a few years ago through the work of Jordan Peterson. He's introduced me to the truly great thinkers of our time, notably you and Douglas Murray.
00:01:03.440 Eighteen years ago, I was in love with the left, mesmerized by its highly seductive and romanticized ideology.
00:01:08.900 I had just been blessed with my first child and was drunk on how the left of British politics was the only way to create a so-called community that worked for everyone.
00:01:18.260 I was also under the influence of the left's view of the poor, oppressed, noble people who are apparently persecuted by their evil neighbors.
00:01:25.840 You know who I refer to.
00:01:27.660 I read all the propaganda, believed Jewish people were purely out for themselves, didn't really care about the countries they lived in, Gaza as a concentration camp, you know the drill.
00:01:36.880 I lacked epistemological humility and stopped seeking the truth.
00:01:41.400 I'm ashamed of that, given that I went to a good university and read chemistry.
00:01:46.240 Thanks to discovering you, Dr. Peterson and Douglas Murray, I've had the good fortune to overhaul my views and remove the mind virus that still holds sway in the minds of millions across the world.
00:01:57.520 Thank you for what you do, your example to speak up, and above all, think is a treasure to me, one that has given me a true love of learning again.
00:02:07.040 I hope to visit Israel one day.
00:02:08.740 We in the West need to be truly grateful to the brave men and women who are fighting a war that is also our war.
00:02:16.980 One day I may even get to shake your hand and thank you personally for setting me on the right path.
00:02:22.780 Sincerely, and then the person's name.
00:02:25.640 This is why I do what I do.
00:02:27.680 Happy Father's Day.
