The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad - Nobel Laureate Anne Carson Made Me Quit Academia - I'm Now a Poet! (The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad_1058)

00:00:00.060 A few days ago, the Nobel Prize for Literature was announced and it was awarded to a Canadian poet named Anne Carson,

00:00:11.360 who apparently now has taken up Icelandic citizenship.

00:00:17.560 So I wanted to know who this person was. I went to look at a few of her clips and, you know,

00:00:22.420 her personality was maybe a little bit less charming than Ebola and tuberculosis.

00:00:28.260 but I thought okay let me give a chance to her poetry let me read some of it not surprisingly

00:00:35.800 it was pure nonsense pure gibberish and so I decided but I shouldn't say that I was so moved

00:00:43.980 by her poetry it so touched the depth of my soul it so allowed me to understand the human condition

00:00:51.880 that I decided to officially quit my career in academia and to become a poet and so I put out

00:00:58.860 my first three poems yesterday precisely because I was so moved by her bold and courageous work

00:01:07.600 so this is my first poem you can see all these on social media fire I seek you not who I am 0.98

00:01:15.920 darkness blackness I love plants somber is the rage where fuck is it me or thee and then I wrote 0.98

00:01:29.460 booking my flight to Stockholm but then my my creative juices were flowing so I moved on to 0.99

00:01:36.140 my second poem and I wrote I began by saying I've been so inspired by Ann actually I had missed I

00:01:42.360 even know her name, Anne A.N.N. Carson's brilliant work that I decided to quit my academic career

00:01:47.620 and focus on my poetry. My nom de plume is Jade le Palestinian. Here is my second poem.

00:01:56.280 Dust, dust everywhere. My praxis longs for the horizon. Tin roof, big hoof, I'm lost.

00:02:06.440 the villain comes home. I won't, I will. Darkness, I loathe you. Peace awaits.

00:02:16.660 Peace delays. Finally, I dance. And then I asked, you know, whether this was worthy of a Nobel

00:02:23.560 Prize. By the way, many people wrote that the random gibberish that I created while on a flight

00:02:29.400 from New York City to Memphis is substantially more sophisticated than the Nobel laureates work

00:02:38.000 then my third one my third poem today inspired by the brilliant Anne Carson a fellow Canadian

00:02:44.400 who is as talented as Ebola you ready the waves crash no the raves dash yes I love my shadow

00:02:54.960 but hate its reflection my burning and yearning farmhouse aches for you a pit a cave a whisper

00:03:06.140 say so pray for the soul the artisanal parochial ballet swans in my gut I'm in a rut is it wrong

00:03:19.280 to hate the haters. And then I concluded with, I genuinely think that this is substantially better

00:03:26.080 than the shite that Carson generates. Now that got some Canadians really angry. So here's Annie 0.99

00:03:33.140 Dufour, a feminist who does not put up with weak men. She writes, ex-Canadian and hater extraordinaire 1.00

00:03:42.560 Gad Saad will find any excuse to disparage the country that welcomed, nurtured, and launched

00:03:50.800 him. Canadian writer, no, she's Icelandic now, Canadian writer Anne Carson wins the Nobel Peace

00:03:57.460 Prize in Literature, and from a few video clips, Gad the Great deduces she is the source of a 0.79

00:04:03.680 malevolent miasma. Wow, nice word. Truly a masterclass in evolutionary psychology. As we say 0.98

00:04:10.840 in French, faites du bien à Anan, il vous donnera des coups de pied. Translation, do a good turn for

00:04:18.080 a donkey and he shall kick you. Meaning that I owe Canada my life, I should never disparage a 0.99

00:04:24.420 Canadian. Sorry to resort to such vulgarities, God, but from Canada's point of view, you've truly

00:04:31.160 earned it. Hashtag Ant Carson, hashtag Nobel Prize 2026. And then she tagged me, well at least she

00:04:39.100 tag me. So then I wrote, fellow Canadian thinks I'm mean because it is wrong to criticize a Canadian

00:04:45.380 quote poet. Canadians are inherently nice and I am mean. So Miss Dufour has retracted my Canadian

00:04:52.980 citizenship on behalf of all Canadians. And then I responded one more time because really Anne Carson

00:05:00.600 and Annie Dufour are really the same creature of the feminization, the pathological feminization

00:05:09.080 of Canadian society. So I wrote, this gargantuan imbecile, Annie Dufour 99, is precisely what is 0.99

00:05:15.720 wrong with Canada, an increasingly feminized society run by angry progressive women. That I 1.00

00:05:21.780 mock the poetry of the acerbic Anne Carson is not an indictment of Canada any more than my mocking

00:05:28.720 Bruce Springsteen is an attack on America. But when you work as a journalist for the progressive

00:05:35.120 government, you view everything through the lens of identity politics. My having emigrated to Canada

00:05:41.340 in 1975 does not imply that I cannot criticize a Canadian, you degenerate feminist. I have done 1.00

00:05:48.780 more to defend Canadian values on any given Tuesday than you will in your entire insignificant 0.98

00:05:54.800 and miserable life. Je me souviens. This is I Remember, which is a spicy reference to 0.98

00:06:03.560 what's written on the license plate in Quebec. There you have it, folks, a acerbic, nasty woman 1.00

00:06:13.300 who, when she receives the Nobel Prize, rather than saying, oh, I'm so honored, thank you, 1.00

00:06:19.080 she's like, you know, I don't give a shit about your Nobel. I don't care who gives a shit, 0.99

00:06:23.240 right? She's so ungraceful, so nasty. But then I said, let me go and take a shot at reading her 1.00

00:06:31.000 stuff. It's pure, utter shite. It's exactly what postmodernism is. The concatenation and stringing 1.00

00:06:39.440 of a bunch of words that are useless and void of meaning, but that somehow makes you profound. 1.00

00:06:46.120 Because until this idiot came along, we didn't understand the human condition. But her poetry 0.99

00:06:52.820 has allowed us to unlock a depth of understanding the human condition that heretofore we were

00:07:01.980 bereft of. F off with your shite. Take care, everybody. 1.00
