00:00:00.920 Hi everybody, this is Scott Saad, returned two days ago from my trip to Cornell, where
00:00:09.820 I gave two talks, one on the parasitic mind and the other one on Jew hatred and some of 0.97
00:00:16.020 its sources.
00:00:19.320 Along those lines, one of the guys that has come onto my radar recently, who I'm ashamed
00:00:25.980 that I didn't know about him earlier, because he's a true intellectual, Basim Yusuf, an Egyptian
00:00:32.820 satirist and TV host, who recently has been making the checkmate argument that how could
00:00:45.580 he be anti-Semitic, I mean how could he be anti-Semitic when he is a Semite himself, checkmate. 0.99
00:00:55.980 Which is a solid argument, it follows in the long line traditions of Bertrand Russell in
00:01:02.140 terms of being a logician, Epictetus, Seneca, Aristotle, this guy, people have said, oh
00:01:09.340 I should debate him, how the hell am I going to debate a guy that has that kind of intelligence?
00:01:14.100 I'd get crushed.
00:01:15.000 How could I be anti-Semitic when I'm a Semite myself?
00:01:21.500 So I just tweeted to Dr. Basim or Dr. Yusuf.
00:01:27.280 I said, Dr. Yusuf is a true intellectual giant.
00:01:31.660 How could he be anti-Semitic when he's himself a Semite? 0.89
00:01:36.360 Brilliant.
00:01:37.000 Similarly, how could a man be homophobic in say, using the slur, the homophobic slur on
00:01:46.080 someone, oh you're homo, when that man who's supposed to be homophobic is part of homo sapiens? 0.91
00:01:56.020 The other thing, I put out another tweet where I said, how could Basim, who by the way is just 0.80
00:02:05.800 so delightful, his satire is really good, how could he be a Jew hater when he loves jewelry?
00:02:15.180 And then finally, if those weren't enough for you, how could Basim, let me see here what
00:02:28.080 are the examples I gave, yes, how could he be racist when he himself is part of a race,
00:02:37.260 he loves horse races, he loves formula one races, and he loves a hundred meter races?
00:02:50.500 No way am I going to be debating this guy, that guy is too sharp for me, plus he has such
00:02:56.480 a delightful satire, which you know, guys like us from the Middle East can't quite understand.
00:03:02.760 It's known in Arabic as, poisonous kind of nasty satire, which is satire in quotes.
00:03:13.800 Love you Basim, you're the best.
00:03:16.660 Cheers.
