00:00:00.000 Over the past few years I became pretty close with someone who I view as one of
00:00:06.720 the most important writers, advocates, truth-tellers in the world. My friend
00:00:13.760 Gadsad is going to be joining us momentarily.
00:00:18.280 Our panel will begin with Dr. Gadsad who is the author of Suicidal Empathy.
00:00:24.080 Dr. Gadsad is an evolutionary psychologist professor at Concordia
00:00:28.760 University's John Molson School of Business and best-selling author of The
00:00:33.440 Parasitic Mind and the Sad Truth About Happiness. A fierce defender of reason
00:00:39.260 and free expression, he hosts the Sad Truth podcast and is a prominent cultural
00:00:45.080 and political commentator. His forthcoming book, Suicidal Empathy, Dying to
00:00:49.940 Be Kind, examines the dangers of ideology-driven empathy. Please join me
00:00:55.200 in welcoming Dr. Gadsad, the World Symposium, and it's truly an honor and a
00:01:04.140 privilege to have you with us today.
00:01:16.480 I'm just gonna ask you a question.
00:01:25.200 It's my honor to have him here. 0.64
00:01:29.700 Dr. Gadsad will present how anti-Zionism captured educational institutions for Western
00:01:34.540 suicidal empathy.
00:01:37.540 Hi, everyone.
00:01:42.920 Thank you all for being here.
00:01:48.700 My remarks, I only have about 15 minutes, 15 or so minutes, it won't be strictly about
00:01:52.360 education, but rather about what anti-Zionism is as a most recent manifestation of Jew hatred.
00:02:00.660 And so I'd like to begin with a, I'm very big on analogies, especially from biology. 0.78
00:02:06.180 So let me compare Jew hatred to the immune system, the human immune system. 0.67
00:02:12.880 So the human immune system did not evolve to only kill a specific set of pathogens, 0.64
00:02:18.680 because if it only evolved to only tackle pathogen P1, P2, and P3,
00:02:24.640 once the pathogen mutates, which it's very good at doing,
00:02:28.960 then you would be screwed because if there are no degrees of freedom
00:02:32.060 in your immune system, you can't build up a response to a new pathogen.
00:02:37.360 And therefore, the immune system has evolved adaptability
00:02:42.220 as an adaptation, as an evolutionary adaptation. 0.94
00:02:45.540 Well, I argue that Jew hatred, in a sinister way, is akin to the immune system 0.94
00:02:51.880 in that it ever so evolves into new variants of Jew hatred. 0.96
00:02:57.140 And so I'd like to mention here, I put together this list earlier today. 1.00
00:03:01.920 So Jews, of course, are the killers of Christ. 1.00
00:03:04.900 In Islam, Jews are descendants of pigs and monkeys. 1.00
00:03:09.620 They're actually, the Arabic word is nejus. 0.99
00:03:13.020 Nejus means impure. 1.00
00:03:14.920 So the Jew is like urine, is like vomit, is like feces. 1.00
00:03:20.500 They are impure. 1.00
00:03:22.180 So that's from Islamic canons. 1.00
00:03:25.340 Of course, we've got the blood libel. 1.00
00:03:27.360 Jews make, you know, matzah ball soup and so on with the goy's blood. 1.00
00:03:35.840 Protocols of the learned elders of Zion, there's world domination of Jews. 1.00
00:03:39.920 That's how we parasitize the world. 1.00
00:03:41.680 Jews have no singular loyalty to the host nation. They have dual loyalty. 0.97
00:03:46.780 Hitler said that Jews are literally a disease on the body politic of the Aryan nation. 1.00
00:03:55.400 They are vermin and parasites. We now have the great replacement theory. 1.00
00:03:59.960 Jews are the ones who control all of Western immigration. 1.00
00:04:03.620 Some of you may have heard me mention that when I put up a clip on social media 1.00
00:04:09.820 showing the names of all of the rapists in Britain.
00:04:15.800 Over 250,000 British white girls have been raped over the past 30-plus years 0.99
00:04:21.460 all over England by Muslims, typically Pakistani Muslims. 0.98
00:04:26.420 The response that I get is, what's your point? 0.99
00:04:29.840 That's caused because of Jews. 0.99
00:04:31.560 I said, how is it that it's Jews that are to blame for Muhammad, Muhammad, and Muhammad gang raping your daughter? 1.00
00:04:38.580 And the answer is, who let them in, Jew? 0.99
00:04:42.800 So even when three Mohammeds gang rape your daughter, it's Mordechai who's to blame. 1.00
00:04:49.440 Of course, Jews also spread the bubonic plague, the Black Death in Europe. 0.99
00:04:56.080 Jews spread COVID and also profiteered from the COVID vaccine. 0.99
00:05:02.080 So on both ends, we were diabolical. 0.97
00:05:04.880 now this one you may not know
00:05:08.680 although I have mentioned it recently on several shows
00:05:11.720 in 2010 there was
00:05:13.960 several attacks by sharks
00:05:18.580 in Sharm el Sheikh which is a resort town
00:05:21.900 in the Red Sea in Egypt
00:05:23.840 and some Egyptian authorities after a thorough investigation
00:05:28.280 concluded that the sharks were actually
00:05:31.080 Zionist sharks
00:05:32.360 but I know it sounds funny but that's you could just google it and so because one of the ways by 0.91
00:05:39.600 which Israel can attack their neighbors is by damaging them economically and of course the 0.79
00:05:46.800 way you do that in this case is to make it scary for tourists to swim in that resort town and so 0.99
00:05:54.760 even the sharks are Zionist pigs. The Frankfurt School, I don't know if any of you know what the 0.97
00:06:00.540 Frankfurt School is, many of the parasitic ideas that I discussed in one of my earlier books,
00:06:05.560 postmodernism, cultural relativism, and so on, unfortunately, some of them were actually 0.99
00:06:11.220 promulgated by Jewish professors, and therefore, all of the world's ills that we're seeing today 0.99
00:06:17.740 are due to the Jews. Communism, we have Karl Marx, a Jew, and so it becomes very, very easy to always 1.00
00:06:24.320 connect the dots to the evil diabolical Jew. Now, anti-Zionism is simply the latest mutated form 0.98
00:06:32.260 of a long-standing Jew-hating virus. And so, again, you see the analogy with the immune system,
00:06:39.680 how it mutates. Now, last Monday, actually, almost a week ago, I appeared for the 12th time
00:06:47.500 on Joe Rogan's show. I don't know if many of you have had a chance to go and listen to it.
00:06:54.320 When you go on Joe's show, you never really know what you're going to talk about.
00:06:58.740 You could end up talking about, you know, mating behavior of Sasquatch.
00:07:03.400 I mean, literally.
00:07:05.040 It's a very organic, free-flowing conversation.
00:07:08.460 But I had, of course, hoped that we would spend quite a bit of time discussing my latest book, Suicidal Empathy.
00:07:14.960 Can I engage in a tiny bit of gloating?
00:07:20.320 Number one in Canada across all books.
00:07:24.320 And number nine globally, and the books that are ahead of it are like How to Train Your
00:07:34.640 Dragon and How to Love Your Caterpillar.
00:07:37.460 So from real books, it's actually number one, thank you.
00:07:44.340 But despite the fact that it's number one in Canada, apparently my home university is
00:07:50.180 not very distressed at the fact that, there I say, their most illustrious
00:07:55.940 professor is now moving to the United States. That gives you a sense of how
00:08:00.420 different two entities can view the same stimulus, in this case me. The United
00:08:06.520 States says, we want you here to be on our team. Canada says, get out, Jew. 1.00
00:08:11.980 Probably not a good thing. Okay, so then I wanted to talk a bit about suicidal 0.96
00:08:17.900 empathy, for those of you who may not be familiar with it, and I'll try to link it to some issues
00:08:23.020 relating to anti-Zionism. Empathy is a beautiful virtue to have. As a matter of fact, we are a
00:08:30.680 social species, therefore we are expected to have empathy as a social lubricant, right? For you and
00:08:37.320 I to have a meaningful conversation, I need to put myself in your mind and you need to do the same
00:08:43.020 with me. That's called cognitive empathy or theory of mind. So empathy is a beautiful thing.
00:08:49.540 But like Aristotle explained to us several thousand years ago, all good things in moderation. He
00:08:56.380 called it the golden mean. He specifically spoke about courage and how courage follows the golden
00:09:03.020 mean. If you are a soldier and you are incredibly cowardly, hence you don't exhibit any courage,
00:09:08.700 that's not a good thing. If you're a soldier and you exhibit too much reckless courage, 0.92
00:09:14.240 then you will probably die very quickly. The optimal point is somewhere in the middle, yes?
00:09:19.980 And that's called the inverted you. Too little, not good. Too much, not good. And the sweet spot
00:09:25.060 is somewhere in the middle. And so, of course, what I argue in the book is that that exactly
00:09:29.880 applies to empathy as well. If you have no empathy, you're likely a psychopath. But if you 0.91
00:09:36.060 have too much empathy, as we see now. So suicidal empathy is comprised of three
00:09:42.120 parts. It hyper activates, it hyper fires, it is invoked in the wrong situation, and
00:09:50.280 it targets the wrong targets. So Guatemalan illegal immigrants deserve 1.00
00:09:56.760 more empathy than American vets. Repeat felons deserve more empathy than their 1.00
00:10:02.880 victims rapists deserve especially if they're rapists of color then we really have to be 1.00
00:10:09.080 empathetic and the reason for that is because that rapist was born into a white supremacist
00:10:16.920 society so he's already been marginalized he's already been punished so for you to be so mean 0.99
00:10:22.880 and non-empathetic as to now put him in prison simply is not kind try to be kinder right and so
00:10:29.980 what I do in the book is I go through many, many of these examples, but now let's link it to
00:10:35.500 issues related to Israel. And I'd like to hear mentioned some of the worst 1.00
00:10:41.400 anti-Zionists, the most execrable of all anti-Zionists. Those are Jewish anti-Zionists. 0.98
00:10:49.260 And I'd like to talk about them. 0.94
00:10:50.680 I'd like to talk about them using another one of my viral terms.
00:11:00.600 Apparently, I have an uncanny ability to create new terms that then sort of go viral.
00:11:07.320 Wood cricket juice.
00:11:09.080 Some of you have heard me mention that term,
00:11:10.840 but for those of you who don't know what it refers to, let me explain it.
00:11:15.460 And it actually explains why I use the neuro-parasthological framework.
00:11:20.680 So in the animal kingdom, when you study parasitology,
00:11:24.740 parasitology is the study of parasite-host interactions.
00:11:28.920 So a tapeworm is a parasite,
00:11:32.240 but it parasitizes your intestinal tract.
00:11:35.040 A neuroparasite is a parasite that needs to get ultimately
00:11:40.220 to the host's brain, altering its circuitry to suit its interests.
00:11:47.040 Now, a wood cricket, an actual wood cricket, abhors water.
00:11:51.580 It wants nothing to do with water.
00:11:53.740 But when it is parasitized by a hair worm,
00:11:57.500 the hair worm needs the wood cricket to jump into water,
00:12:02.860 merrily commit suicide, hence suicidal empathy,
00:12:06.980 because that would suit the reproductive interest of the hair worm
00:12:11.120 because it could only complete its reproductive cycle in water. 0.94
00:12:14.960 So that hapless wood cricket, once its brain is hijacked by this hair worm,
00:12:21.400 it is simply a vessel for the interests of the hair worm.
00:12:26.060 It no longer has personal agency. 1.00
00:12:28.840 Well, wood cricket Jews are exactly a manifestation of that wood cricket. 1.00
00:12:34.060 And let me give you a few examples. 1.00
00:12:35.960 Let me start with the biggest of degenerate wood crickets.
00:12:40.740 Anybody want to take a guess who I might say?
00:12:42.800 Who?
00:12:44.140 Who?
00:12:44.960 Peter Beinart is a good one.
00:12:48.380 I despise him, but no. 0.98
00:12:50.420 Gabor Mate.
00:12:55.480 See, Gabor Mate is so empathetic.
00:12:58.320 He's so enlightened.
00:12:59.500 He's such a philosopher of addiction that, by the way, he's a Holocaust survivor.
00:13:07.220 In that, when he was six months old, he was taken and placed in another home to be protected from the Nazis.
00:13:14.320 but six-month-old infants are not cognizant beings.
00:13:19.960 So it really is a stretch to argue that I'm a Holocaust survivor.
00:13:24.340 If he is a Holocaust survivor, then I too am a Holocaust survivor 0.93
00:13:28.520 because in the 1940s, I was swimming in my dad's testicles as a spermatozoa.
00:13:36.140 So not only am I a childhood war refugee of Lebanon,
00:13:41.400 I too am a Holocaust survivor.
00:13:43.120 Now, the way he uses that narrative, which is a very, I mean, it's very intelligent, it's duplicitous, it's Machiavellian, but it works. 0.82
00:13:52.600 He said, if I am Jewish and I am a Holocaust survivor and I tell you that the IDF puts the Nazis to shame, 0.92
00:14:02.620 because I went through the Holocaust as a six-month-old infant, so you should listen to me and believe me. 0.92
00:14:09.520 So this is what a wood cricket is. 0.99
00:14:11.300 Let me give you two other Jewish wood crickets. 0.77
00:14:14.520 One, well, both of them are not very known, 1.00
00:14:16.760 but they exemplify the same kind of reflex.
00:14:21.080 Tal Nitzan is a Jewish wood cricket. 0.90
00:14:24.980 She was, I discussed this example, 0.99
00:14:27.360 not in Suisala Empathy, but in the parasitic mind.
00:14:30.200 She was a doctoral student at Hebrew University. 0.95
00:14:33.400 She's Jewish.
00:14:34.580 She wanted to demonstrate that the IDF engages 0.99
00:14:37.980 in rampant rape of Palestinian women.
00:14:42.720 So she went out very assiduously trying to collect the data 0.97
00:14:47.640 to document that the IDF soldiers are rampant rapists.
00:14:53.560 By the way, she spoke to also Palestinian women,
00:14:56.620 so it's not as though she just went to the IDF and said, 0.99
00:14:59.300 hey, tell me, do you rape women? 0.97
00:15:01.580 And so after she did all of her research, 0.99
00:15:04.040 she wasn't able to identify a single instance of IDF raping Palestinian women.
00:15:12.600 So now an honest purveyor of the truth, someone who is a true scientist,
00:15:18.140 would say, okay, I proposed the hypothesis, the data didn't support it, so be it.
00:15:22.980 Sometimes it happens. 0.95
00:15:24.160 But she has to be wedded to the fact that Israel is truly a cancer to the world. 0.93
00:15:30.900 and she's Jewish, living in Israel, studying at Hebrew University. 0.85
00:15:35.000 So you know what she concluded?
00:15:36.520 She said, aha, the fact that the IDF soldiers did not rape even a single woman,
00:15:43.500 Palestinian woman, demonstrates how much they despised the Palestinians, 0.97
00:15:49.540 that they weren't even worthy of being raped. 1.00
00:15:53.940 Yeah. 1.00
00:15:56.060 So now, sorry to get professorial on you for two seconds.
00:16:00.020 Karl Popper, the famous philosopher of science, proposed what's called the falsification principle.
00:16:06.720 That anything that is scientific, there needs to be data that could potentially falsify the theory.
00:16:14.160 If there's no way for you to falsify a theory, then it is not within the realm of science.
00:16:19.880 And let me give you a concrete example of that.
00:16:22.460 The concept of destiny is not within the realm of science
00:16:26.820 because you cannot falsify the concept of destiny. Why?
00:16:31.040 Let's suppose I tell you I'm going to walk outside right now
00:16:34.480 and I'm going to see if a car hits me as I cross the street.
00:16:39.740 Well, if I cross the street and the car doesn't hit me,
00:16:43.280 that was my destiny.
00:16:44.580 If I cross the street and the car hits me, that was my destiny.
00:16:49.620 Therefore, there is no data that would ever invalidate
00:16:52.820 the fact that what is, is my destiny.
00:16:54.940 Therefore, destiny is unfalsifiable.
00:16:58.200 What Tal Nidzhan did is exactly that. 0.98
00:17:00.700 If the IDF soldiers raped Palestinian women, 0.99
00:17:04.220 that is proof of how evil Israel and its soldiers are. 0.99
00:17:08.140 If the IDF did not rape anybody, 0.98
00:17:11.320 that demonstrates how evil in their othering of the Palestinian women. 0.98
00:17:16.440 So it is a real parasitic idea. 1.00
00:17:19.580 I'm not sure what is the way to solve it,
00:17:23.360 But for those of you in the room, I hope none of you are ever angry at me
00:17:27.800 because I maintain a relationship with Joe Rogan and so on.
00:17:31.160 By the way, nothing upsets me more when Jews write to me angrily
00:17:37.160 when I have to walk around all day long being protected for defending Jewish people.
00:17:43.640 And usually the argument goes something like this.
00:17:50.780 why are you still friends with Joe Rogan when he's speaking to all sorts of anti-Zionist freaks?
00:17:58.040 Well, because Joe Rogan is courteous enough to invite me on his show
00:18:02.580 so that I can have a conversation with him that will be consumed by 20 million people.
00:18:08.420 There is a pragmatism here. 0.99
00:18:13.720 If I were to disassociate myself from Joe Rogan because he speaks to some imbecile, 0.93
00:18:18.820 and I disassociate myself from Elon Musk because he allows neo-Nazi accounts to be on X 0.84
00:18:27.320 and so on and so forth, I will end up speaking to very few people,
00:18:31.000 maybe my wife and children, and that's about it. 1.00
00:18:33.260 So to all of the astoundingly lobotomized and moronic Jews who send me those hate, 1.00
00:18:40.020 perhaps reserve that hate to the people who truly want to kill you 1.00
00:18:44.700 as opposed to the ones who are standing tall to try to protect you and your children.
00:18:48.820 I wasn't planning on finishing on such a dour note,
00:19:00.120 but I'm worried that I might talk too much
00:19:03.160 and then the panelists won't have a chance.
00:19:05.140 So hopefully I can continue some of this discussion with the panelists.
00:19:09.100 Thank you all for coming and cheers.
00:19:10.840 today anti-zionism is often treated as fashionable or morally virtuous instead of being recognized
00:19:23.140 for what it really truly is a modern form of Jew hatred that is why this declaration matters
00:19:28.480 if we cannot clearly define the movement we cannot effectively confront it the global
00:19:34.180 decoration established a line of moral clarity anti-zionism is a Jew hatred and from that
00:19:39.960 With that clarity comes action, education, policy, institutional accountability, and coordinated response.
00:19:46.960 We invite individuals, organizations, educators, and leaders to unite and sign the declaration,
00:19:52.960 because confronting anti-Zionism requires clarity, courage, and collective action.
00:19:57.960 We have more than 3,000 individuals signed already globally,
00:20:02.960 more than 50 institutions joined as well, and growing every day.
00:20:08.960 sign the declaration. It's part of changing the culture and when we change
00:20:14.060 the culture from Jew hatred and that's away from normalization of this fascism 0.59
00:20:19.840 then we definitely can change including laws and all the policies around it. 0.53
00:20:28.240 Thank you.
