Welcome back to Piers Morgan Uncensored. On any given day there are a lot of news stories which
00:00:03.620
make me very unhappy. Not least to which Arsenal nil, Brighton free. Well we weren't intruding
00:00:09.900
to private grief but they proved that common sense is dead. Just today we learned that a
00:00:14.940
biological man entered the 2015 female university boat race. No one was told, no one was allowed to
00:00:20.920
ask. We were told that prison guards have been banned from calling prisoners convicts in case
00:00:25.700
it upsets them. Upsets convicts. We're told that 10% of teenagers want to change gender but a third
00:00:33.400
of teenagers have been taught in schools that some women have penises. What is all this? Why is the
00:00:39.480
world going so completely nuts? Well my next guest is an expert on this phenomenon of the world going
00:00:45.020
nuts. Professor Gad Saad is the best-selling author of Parasitic Mind, How Infectious Diseases
00:00:49.580
Are Killing Common Sense and also The Saad Truth About Happiness and he joins me now again. Thank
00:00:54.780
you for coming on. So just to warm things up, I thought I'd play a little clip of you talking
00:01:04.980
Morgan is a treasonous cretin. I don't care about him as an individual but I greatly care about his
00:01:12.720
mindset for it is the singular cause that has led us to the current conundrum that we face. Every day
00:01:20.700
that idiots and enemies of reason such as Morgan have a voice in the public sphere is a day that
00:01:28.240
we inch closer to violence. Well ironically Gad that that comment actually did move me to near
00:01:34.640
violence. I'm joking. And actually we have found since then a lot of common ground I know so I'm
00:01:39.860
not going to labor the point other than you clearly are just as unsensely. I don't even remember what
00:01:43.940
that was about. I have no idea what you were talking about and no one can find out so you clearly just
00:01:48.660
had a view about me that you know what it's fine. I have views like that all the time about people
00:01:52.060
but I'm glad to have you on the show and I think on a lot of issues we actually share a lot of a lot
00:01:57.560
of similar thoughts about this. What is going on when we see things like 10 percent of teens
00:02:03.420
want to be transgender in some way. When you see that a male biological rower took part in a very high
00:02:12.260
profile race without anybody knowing that this was actually a man sitting in a female boat.
00:02:19.000
When you see all this how do we explain it and where does this where does this end?
00:02:25.240
Yeah so it all well first thank you for having me Piers. It all stems from regrettably I'm saying
00:02:30.480
this as a professor it all stems from from the university ecosystem. It takes academics and
00:02:35.800
intellectuals to come up with some of the uniquely dumbest ideas and so each of these idea pathogens
00:02:42.680
that I discuss in the book post-modernism, militant feminism, social constructivism sort of erase a bit
00:02:49.620
of the edifices of reason that for most of us constitutes common sense. So post-modernism for example argues
00:02:55.500
that there are no objective truths. Even things that the average three-day-old pigeon would recognize
00:03:02.560
as biological fact is actually up for debate and this is how we end up erasing all of the common
00:03:08.340
sense that gives us shared meaning so that men now who have nine-inch penises can be women. They
00:03:15.060
simply have to declare themselves women and voila they become women. Yeah I mean it's completely insane
00:03:20.340
but you're right facts have been eroded in this process where people can put their hand up and talk
00:03:26.140
about my truth as if somehow their version of the truth which of course is statistically factual
00:03:32.300
that's all point of truth that they can have a version of that which isn't fact-based it's just
00:03:37.140
feeling based. Exactly and this is why I basically say that all of these idea pathogens they free us
00:03:44.980
from the pesky shackles of reality right. I don't wish to be constrained by my genitalia so I just have
00:03:51.200
to use the magic wand of the trans prefix and I could be whatever I wish to be. Social constructivism is
00:03:57.540
another freer from reality. It basically says that anybody could be the next Ronaldo or Messi. If only
00:04:04.000
mommy hugs me enough or doesn't hug me enough I'll have equal potentiality. Well that's a very noble and
00:04:10.260
hopeful message but it's perfectly rooted in erroneous views of human nature. Also the thing about Ronaldo
00:04:16.200
and Messi I know Cristiano very well and interviewed him several times. Think about those guys they've got a
00:04:20.920
phenomenal work ethic and you'll never hear them either of them whining about being pushed hard or
00:04:27.440
even having coaches shout at them or whatever it may be. It just seems to me the world is slowly
00:04:32.120
shrinking into a very weak-minded place where weakness is celebrated, strength is somehow frowned
00:04:38.680
upon. If you try and talk about mental strength these days people go mad. They're like how dare you?
00:04:43.220
You're belittling people who aren't mentally strong. You're picking on the vulnerable rather
00:04:47.960
than accentuate the positives which those two guys represent better than anybody.
00:04:53.460
And whether it be the soccer players that you mentioned or the world that I inhabit in academia
00:04:57.740
we used to be proud of the ethos of meritocracy. Now that's viewed as a form of white supremacy. Now
00:05:03.540
it's my skin color, it's my gender orientation, it's my sexual orientation, it's my religion that
00:05:09.500
actually adjudicates whether I am right or wrong. It's grotesque. It's an attack on the most
00:05:14.700
fundamental deontological principles that define the enlightened societies that we all are proud of
00:05:20.780
and this is why I am so irreverent and fighting against all this nonsense. And it's interesting what you
00:05:26.540
said about meritocracy there. There's a move now for the Oscars and the Academy and the way they go about
00:05:31.340
putting nominations forward. They have to tick a load of diversity boxes and that all sounds fine in
00:05:37.180
principle right until you get to the point where actually it damages meritocracy.
00:05:42.060
Well and not only that Pierce I'm sure you've also heard that someone should not play, for example
00:05:46.780
you shouldn't play a gay part if you yourself are not gay. So what does that mean then? Sir Anthony
00:05:52.940
Hopkins should not have played a sadistic serial killer in Silence of the Lambs because clearly he's
00:05:58.540
not really a serial killer. It's insane. Well not as far as we know but yeah I mean you're right I mean who
00:06:02.780
plays Hitler? Who plays a mafia boss right? Does everyone in Sopranos have to actually be an active
00:06:07.660
member of the mafia? I mean and also it never works the other way with these these wokies where you
00:06:12.860
never hear them say and of course the quid pro quo is that no gay person can play a straight part.
00:06:18.620
They'll never say that. They want all their virtue signaling cake and eat it.
00:06:23.260
Exactly and you know to your point earlier about victimhood I come from Lebanon. I escaped execution
00:06:30.380
in Lebanon and it's folks like me who come to the west who are you know completely befuddled by
00:06:35.740
all of the whining. I think you were mentioning to your previous guest about him whining. I despise
00:06:40.700
whining. What's beautiful about Messi and Ronaldo is this notwithstanding their innate talent they work
00:06:47.180
hard to be the best that they can be. We need to return to that ethos. Yes we need to start celebrating
00:06:52.140
proper talent proper work ethic. People who really want to put a shift in. I mean the work from home
00:06:58.220
fiasco in this country is getting completely out of hand with millions of people just basically giving
00:07:02.700
up doing proper work. You know it's interesting you talk about professors there because I think my
00:07:07.260
favorite story of all the cancer culture stories involved an American professor who for 25 years
00:07:13.580
had given a lecture about offensive language and eventually a student complained about his use
00:07:20.460
of offensive language in a lecture about offensive language and he was fired for using offensive
00:07:27.500
language which he had used to illustrate the points he was making about offensive language and at that
00:07:33.100
point I realized universities are being run by students and they the students because of this
00:07:39.260
warped mindset are just running right on campuses and the campuses and the people put in charge of
00:07:45.420
these students are just caving to every one of their whims and saying okay whatever you say goes.
00:07:51.660
Indeed and look I can tell you I just past semester I was teaching an MBA class where I was talking about
00:07:57.020
the evolutionary roots of anorexia nervosa and in that lecture I talked about miscarriages and one
00:08:03.500
student huffed and puffed that I did not provide trigger warnings before mentioning something as you know
00:08:10.620
devastatingly sensitive as miscarriages and this is someone mean who went through the Lebanese civil war
00:08:17.340
so imagine how much disdain I feel for such an adult an MBA student that he requires me to offer
00:08:24.940
trigger warnings before mentioning a medical reality such as miscarriages it's unbelievable.
00:08:30.300
Well I actually need trigger warnings before I find myself in close proximity to one of these
00:08:34.860
woke imbeciles because it actually does bring me out in wheels again I could talk to you all night
00:08:39.260
about this I'm glad we've made up and we're friends again please come back on on Piers Morgan
00:08:44.060
on Sensor again I really enjoyed the chat you're you're the best and my apologies to Arsenal next
00:08:48.940
year they'll take it you know what I'm not so sure mentally weak they should have signed Ronaldo
00:08:55.020
when they had the chance back in October he wanted to come anyway that's another story
