The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad

00:00:00.000 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 1.00

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

00:00:59.240 about me in 2018. Let's take a listen to this.

00:01:04.980 Morgan is a treasonous cretin. I don't care about him as an individual but I greatly care about his 1.00

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 1.00

00:01:28.240 we inch closer to violence. Well ironically Gad that that comment actually did move me to near 1.00

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 0.99

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 0.68

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 0.98

00:03:08.340 sense that gives us shared meaning so that men now who have nine-inch penises can be women. They 0.98

00:03:15.060 simply have to declare themselves women and voila they become women. Yeah I mean it's completely insane 0.96

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 0.92

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 0.63

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 0.89

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 1.00

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. 0.84

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 0.99

00:08:34.860 woke imbeciles because it actually does bring me out in wheels again I could talk to you all night 0.98

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 0.99

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

00:08:59.500 great to talk to you thank you very much

00:09:04.860 so

00:09:10.620 go

00:09:24.300 you
