00:00:00.520 Hi everybody, this is Gad Saad on Saturday evening. I was keen on putting in the record
00:00:09.860 books a new mind malady that I have discovered and I have called it AOC, Amnesia of Causality,
00:00:20.680 AOC, in honor of Occasional Cortex AOC. This is how the malady works. You ready?
00:00:28.380 I just posted this on my social media. Having written The Parasitic Mind, you would think that
00:00:35.180 I could never be surprised by human irrationality and duplicity. Yet I stand before you baffled by
00:00:42.000 a new phenomenon that I call Amnesia of Causality, hence AOC, and in some cases from fellow academics,
00:00:50.380 some of whom I know personally. The cognitive slash emotional distortion works as follows.
00:00:56.980 A commits horrifying acts on B. B punches back. Sufferers of AOC, Amnesia of Causality,
00:01:08.560 deeply condemn the brutality of B because the first link of the causal link is completely erased.
00:01:16.900 Forget about Newton's law, cause and effect. It never existed. What A did never happened.
00:01:24.360 Only B's response is open to scrutiny. Never mind the issue of supposed proportionality that we often
00:01:32.720 hear of. Well, if B responds, it should be of exactly the same proportionality. Never mind that
00:01:38.700 because under Amnesia of Causality, what A did to B doesn't even enter into the calculus. Why is B doing
00:01:48.660 this? Why? Why are they so evil? B on A is proof of B's evil. A on B never happened. Remember,
00:01:59.460 Amnesia of Causality. Cheers, everybody.
