00:00:00.320 Hi everybody, this is Gad Saad. Earlier today I posted some posts on my social media, which I'm going to repeat some of them here and add a few more.
00:00:11.860 It's something that I've addressed on many previous occasions. It's the liberating power of the "-ism suffix.
00:00:19.240 So if you take a term without the "-ism, the term is very peaceful and healthy. When you add the "-ism, that's what makes it difficult.
00:00:28.840 So Islam is beautiful. Islamism is really dangerous." So I wanted to, using that same powerful and frankly accurate logic, I wanted to discuss a few more. 0.99
00:00:42.980 Brain tumor is healthy. Brainism tumorism is really what oncologists would be concerned by.
00:00:52.740 More generally, cancer is healthy. Cancerism is dangerous. Melanoma, healthy. Melanoa-ism. Get that checked right away from a dermatologist.
00:01:07.180 AIDS, some of you who grew up in the 80s might think that AIDS was a deadly disease. That's not true. AIDS is perfectly good.
00:01:15.740 AIDS is bad. Leukemia, good. Leukemia-ism. Definitely get that checked. Get your blood work done.
00:01:27.260 ISIS, very nice Boy Scout Club. ISIS-ism. Terrible. Dangerous. Malaria killed millions of people.
00:01:39.500 No animal has killed more people than mosquito. But people say, oh, malaria is dangerous. That's not true. Malaria is good. It's healthy. It builds a response system.
00:01:51.420 Malaria-ism, very dangerous. Be careful for that. Go see an infectious disease specialist. 1.00
00:01:57.260 Yellow fever has killed many, many people.
00:01:59.680 I think many of the folks that were building the Panama Canal and many thousands died. But it wasn't yellow fever. It was yellowism, feverism that killed the people.
00:02:12.660 And then finally, many of you know this, the Black Plague, you've heard of it, you know, in Europe, killed roughly one third of Europe.
00:02:22.480 But people throw around as though, oh, it's the Black Plague. But the Black Plague didn't cause it. Blackism, plagalism, plagism caused it. 1.00
00:02:33.680 Remember, add-ism and your problems are solved. Good luck. 0.98
