00:00:00.160Hi everybody, this is Gad Saad and three weeks from today, Suicidal Empathy, Dying to be Kind
00:00:07.240will finally be released. I know that many of you have been waiting years for the book.
00:00:13.060The journey began many, many years ago. First wrote Parasitic Mind right here to explain how
00:00:19.080our cognitive system is parasitized by ideological capture and in the Parasitic Mind, I referenced
00:00:27.100suicidal empathy which led then to my eventually writing how our emotional system could be
00:00:35.540parasitized so that'll be coming out in three weeks please I implore you if you're planning
00:00:40.500on buying the book to pre-order it ASAP it really helps with the bestsellers list today I wanted to
00:00:46.800talk about. So far, I've been restricting the awarding of the lofty title of sufferers of
00:00:57.360stage five suicidal empathy to countries. So, Canada suffers from stage five suicidal empathy.
00:01:04.840Sweden does. Britain does. I've also placed Norway because it is really trying to
00:01:11.480to outshine many other countries in its suicidal empathy but we can debate which other countries
00:01:18.860we should be including within the stage five suicidal empathy appellation but today I wanted
00:01:25.420to focus on a sub-ecosystem of Canadian society and that's Canadian universities. Canadian
00:01:33.260universities absolutely suffer from stage five suicidal empathy and so today what I wanted to do
00:01:39.960is begin with the following this is from an article i'll put the links to the article
00:01:46.820the link to the article in in the description section it's basically looking at statistics
00:01:53.920canada in the year 2022 2023 at the undergraduate level women represented 58.3 percent of undergraduate
00:02:05.840students. So nearly 60% of undergrads are women and a bit more than 40% are men. So women
00:02:15.240greatly outnumber men. At the master's level, 63% of master's students are women. So even
00:02:24.640more pronounced than at the undergraduate level. And at the PhD level, 57% of PhD candidates
00:02:33.240are women. So at the undergrad, master's and PhD levels, women outnumber men greatly. And so of
00:02:42.840course what we need to do is fight against the patriarchy and find ways to better promote women
00:02:51.620because they're not just given the due chances and they are being grossly marginalized by the0.63
00:02:59.860patriarchy. So today what I wanted to do is look at the Canada Research Chairs at Memorial
00:03:08.060University. Memorial University is a Canadian university in Newfoundland and they have Canada
00:03:16.340Research Chairs. I've explained this to you in the past. Canada Research Chairs are endowed
00:03:22.440professorships. They're endowed chaired professorships by the Canadian government. So
00:03:27.020they're very prestigious professorships supposedly and universities put out calls to try to attract
00:03:35.740leading people from around the world to come to Canada and you know lead the next century in the
00:03:43.460various research fields so here I'm looking and I'm going to take screenshots in case they make
00:03:48.260them disappear I'm at the website of Memorial University I'm looking at their Canada Research
00:03:55.200chairs program at the current open positions so let's start now tier one and tier two Canada
00:04:02.260research chairs simply means the tier two is the less senior one and the tier one is the more senior
00:04:09.600one so let's begin with a tier two Canada research chair in AI driven navigation for arctic and harsh
00:04:19.820environments. So this competition is open only to applicants who are current employees of Memorial
00:04:28.580University, okay, and who identify as members of one or more employment equity groups, including
00:04:35.860women, 2SLGBTQIA plus people, indigenous peoples, racialized people, persons, and persons with
00:04:45.780disabilities as per approval granted by the human rights commission pursuant to section 8 of the
00:04:51.840human rights act so if you were for example an able-bodied man heterosexual who does not suffer
00:04:58.660from any disabilities but you are the absolute world leader in ai driven navigation for arctic
00:05:05.180and harsh environments you need not apply to memorial university so that's the first chair
00:05:10.840Let's look at the next chair. Again, these are Canada Research Chaired Professorships. Tier 2, Canada Research Chair in Computational Biochemistry. Ooh, that sounds science-y. It sounds very intellectual. So let's look at how Canadian universities are trying to attract the top people.
00:05:33.300Oh, it's the exact same thing. This competition is open only to applicants who are current employees
00:05:39.360of Memorial University, so we're not even getting people from outside, but they also have to
00:05:43.900identify as members of one or more employment equity groups, including women, 2SLGBTQIA plus
00:05:51.760people, indigenous peoples, racialized persons, and persons with disabilities as per the approval0.52
00:05:58.340granted by the human rights commission blah blah blah so so far so good at least we don't have to0.98
00:06:04.640face the indignity of having disgusting white heterosexual men leading any of these labs0.95
00:06:11.020then we've got a tier one so now we're moving to a more senior tier one canada research chair0.96
00:06:16.860in musculoskeletal health and genomic mapping of the nl population i'm assuming that means
00:06:25.040new finland and lavador population that sounds pretty serious musculoskeletal and genomic let's
00:06:31.600see who we're looking for here oh same thing all the competition is only open to applicants who
00:06:37.900identify as members of one or more employment equity groups including women 2sl gbtqia plus
00:06:45.140people indigenous people racialized persons and persons with disabilities perfect then there are
00:06:52.860two more chaired professorships then there's a tier two canada research chair in indigenous
00:06:58.540knowledge youth and digital technology because indigenous people have a unique take on digital
00:07:06.340technology we really need to infuse digital technology with indigenous know-how so let's
00:07:12.660look at who could apply for this one it's the same one identify as members of one or more employment
00:07:20.900equity groups as per approval granted by the Human Rights Commission pursuant to Section 8 of
00:07:28.300the Human Rights Act. These equity groups include women, 2SL, LGBTQIA plus people, Indigenous
00:07:36.140peoples, racialized persons, and persons with disabilities. And finally, if you are interested
00:07:44.040in applying for a tier two Canada research chair in community health and substance use research
00:07:51.620that sounds pretty serious let's see oh there you go you have to identify as a members of one or0.52
00:07:58.660more employment equity groups including women 2SLGBTQIA plus people indigenous peoples racialized
00:08:06.960persons and persons with disabilities as per approval granted by the human rights commission
00:08:13.080pursuant to Section 8 of the Human Rights Act.
00:08:17.100So a research university in Canada, in Newfoundland,
00:08:23.040is putting out calls for the most prestigious chaired professorships
00:08:28.580endowed by the Canadian government in AI-driven navigation
00:08:32.440for Arctic and harsh environments, in computational biochemistry,
00:08:37.200in musculoskeletal health and genomic map of the Newfoundland
00:08:41.980the Labrador population, in indigenous knowledge, youth, and digital technology, and in community
