Summary
In this episode, we're joined by visiting professor and Global Ambassador, Dr. Gad Sad, to talk about a list of things that are pissing him off, and why he thinks they should all be fired. We also discuss the recent arson attacks on Tesla and Cybertruck stores in Kansas City, Missouri, and earlier this month, a fire at a Tesla dealership in Seattle, Washington.
Transcript
00:00:01.900
Tonight, the FBI and ATF now investigating multiple cases of possible arson targeting Teslas and Cybertrucks.
00:00:08.940
This dramatic video shows multiple cars in flames.
00:00:11.860
Police say the attacker used Molotov cocktails.
00:00:15.120
It's the latest in more than a dozen instances of arson and vandalism targeting Tesla.
00:00:22.520
Tesla Cybertrucks were set on fire in Kansas City and earlier this month,
00:00:31.360
Wow, you guys like petty acts of domestic terrorism, huh?
00:00:37.160
When I tell you that I'm angry today, it's because I'm angry and frustrated today,
00:00:42.240
and I went for a jog and I figured I'll listen to the latest from Gad Sad,
00:00:45.220
and it just so happened that the episode that I turned on was a list of things that are pissing off Gad Sad.
00:00:52.240
And I tell you, there's nothing like jogging and grinding your teeth at the same time.
00:00:56.280
Now, we're going to get into this thoroughly, and I am always very reluctant to draw analogies
00:01:03.520
between current events and, you know, Nazi Germany, but just imagine there's no people
00:01:10.240
that are the victim of this type of property violence, although there are.
00:01:14.420
Imagine a crowd in Germany in 1938 cheering on Kristallnacht.
00:01:20.380
Yeah, a bunch of buildings were broken and the windows burnt.
00:01:25.280
And we'll find out if Gad Sad finds that comparison offensive.
00:01:35.840
If you do not know who Gad Sad is, put a one in the audience.
00:01:43.180
Gad and I start talking before the show just to make sure the mics are working.
00:01:53.600
Now, if you don't know, if you're not following Gad as closely as I'm following him,
00:01:57.440
visiting professor at Northwood University and the Global Ambassador,
00:02:01.220
the episode that I started before listening to the list of things that are currently pissing you off
00:02:06.260
was your speech at Northwood, but the audio was not as good on my iPhone as...
00:02:13.320
It was just like, you know, it was an outdoor mic,
00:02:15.200
whereas your podcast is a beautiful microphone.
00:02:18.280
Mr. Gad Sad, for those who may not know who you are, very quickly,
00:02:22.180
and let's get into the list of things that are pissing both of us off.
00:02:29.040
Always a pleasure to be with the vivacious, ebullient, gorgeous, Viva Frey.
00:02:39.880
which basically means I apply evolution to study human behavior.
00:02:44.260
I'm a professor at my home university is in Canada, Concordia University.
00:02:49.360
But as you said, I'm on a leave currently at Northwood University,
00:02:53.440
which is a small but real honey badger university in Michigan,
00:03:11.100
I'm actually teaching a course on the parasitic mind.
00:03:18.440
And yeah, I'm an author, written many books, many academic papers, and so on.
00:03:23.200
We're going to get into your latest, which has not yet been published,
00:03:26.220
but it's, as I brought up the comment, suicidal empathy.
00:03:29.620
So actually, what I did get by listening to the portion of your speech at Northwoods
00:03:35.940
was you have a curriculum for a program, a course that you're currently teaching.
00:03:43.300
So one course is only being taught to professors and staff,
00:03:50.380
which I thought was really cool, very innovative of Northwood to do that,
00:03:53.280
because we also need to inoculate the professors who are spewing all the bullshit to the students.
00:04:00.020
And so on Mondays, I teach a one and a half hour course to faculty and staff.
00:04:06.980
Only the first course, which was this past Monday, is in person.
00:04:12.720
And then I teach another parasitic mind course, but eight weeks long to students,
00:04:19.940
The first and the eighth week are in person, and the remaining ones in the middle are remotely.
00:04:26.120
So there is a way that I can possibly sign up for this.
00:04:29.100
I'm going to see if there's a way that I can sign up remotely, because I would love to follow it.
00:04:32.640
Although I think I'm going to pick your brain worth of an entire course today.
00:04:37.020
Well, I say everybody who knows you knows of the concept of suicidal empathy.
00:04:44.400
But the latest book, when is it going to be released?
00:04:54.320
Officially, meaning by contract, I only have to submit the first draft of the book to my publisher next year.
00:05:07.680
And, you know, when Elon Musk keeps publicly tweeting, we need the book ASAP,
00:05:12.300
you sort of drop everything else and focus on it.
00:05:18.420
So hopefully, maybe by the end of 2025, if everything goes well.
00:05:22.840
Again, I listened to your list of things that are pissing you off.
00:05:28.800
But you have an amazing, not an understanding, but way of applying evolutionary psychology to what we're witnessing right now.
00:05:39.900
I look at propaganda media, and I think it's propaganda media.
00:05:42.840
But we're witnessing now, at least with Elon Musk and this outright war against Tesla.
00:05:50.340
Do you think that this actually reflects the sentiment of a substantial portion of the population?
00:05:56.420
And if it's one or the other, what in the hell?
00:06:00.080
I'm going to turn and I want to show you a book.
00:06:08.140
Although one of the authors has been on my show this way.
00:06:14.220
It's by Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber, who are two French cognitive psychologists.
00:06:20.900
The book is titled The Enigma of Reason, and you'll see in a second why I'm mentioning it.
00:06:25.000
I actually referenced this book in Chapter 7 of The Parasitic Mind.
00:06:30.060
What Mercier and Sperber argue is that human beings did not evolve the capacity to reason
00:06:38.260
in order to seek out some objective truth, but rather they evolved their faculty of reason
00:06:49.040
Now, you can see how I'm setting this up for your Elon Musk question.
00:06:53.620
Therefore, when you're seeing the tribalism and the hate that you're seeing,
00:06:58.160
it is a reflection of the fact that when people are evaluating Elon Musk,
00:07:02.900
they're not saying, is he objectively someone who is doing good, but rather they're trying
00:07:11.520
When Elon was a billionaire on the side of the Democrats, then he was the greatest green
00:07:17.420
guy and he was doing Tesla and he was a hero of everyone.
00:07:21.340
When he now endorses Donald Trump, all objective metrics cease to exist.
00:07:27.540
He's no longer on our team, therefore he must be Himmler.
00:07:33.720
And again, I have nothing to do with them, but I think it's a very technical book.
00:07:37.700
It's an academic book, but it's an incredibly powerful book because it really does point
00:07:42.700
to that insight that people simply care about being proven right.
00:07:47.880
That's why you have so many people who will go against Trump, even if 10 minutes earlier,
00:07:55.500
they would have told you that they support the exact same policy that Trump is espousing.
00:08:00.820
The minute that he espouses it, then I'm against it.
00:08:04.800
So that's a very difficult problem to overcome, Viva, because I'm in the business of trying
00:08:10.220
to, you know, inoculate people against stupidity.
00:08:14.020
But knowing that the architecture of the human mind doesn't care about truth and only cares
00:08:19.160
about being proven right, it's a tall order at times.
00:08:22.140
The question is, I mean, the book sounds like a long, not to say a long-winded, explaining
00:08:28.120
what we typically refer to as motivated reasoning.
00:08:30.980
You want to come to the conclusion so you'll twist and bend to make it happen.
00:08:36.160
What is the, I mean, what's the, to use the term, but like what's the evolutionary basis?
00:08:40.660
Is this just a question of fitting in with the crowd and the likelihood of survival if
00:08:47.540
I mean, certainly there is a bit of that, right?
00:08:50.200
We are, I mean, we're both a herd animal and an animal that tries to, at times, differentiate
00:08:59.520
Actually, there's a very interesting paper that was published a few years ago that looked
00:09:04.060
at, and you'll see in a second how I'm going to relate it to what you just asked, that looked
00:09:12.240
One type of advertising strategy is called social proofing.
00:09:15.680
So, for example, if I say six billion people have been happily served by McDonald's, shouldn't
00:09:22.520
So there's been social proofing, meaning that it's already been tried and tested, so you
00:09:29.220
There's another type of advertising appeal called a scarcity appeal, right?
00:09:36.800
And it turns out that when you prime people for survival, they're much more likely to prefer
00:09:48.440
But when you prime them for mating, they're much more likely to prefer the scarcity appeal.
00:09:55.500
Because when I'm facing a survival threat, then I want to be part of the herd, therefore
00:10:02.220
But when I am primed for mating, I want to stand out from all of my competitors.
00:10:07.920
I want the pretty girl to notice me and to see that I'm different from Viva, and therefore
00:10:15.780
And therefore, we are an animal that both seeks to at times differentiate ourselves from
00:10:26.240
And when we're talking about this type of tribalist us versus them, it is the peer approved method
00:10:33.180
and not the standing out and being the thought leader.
00:10:36.720
It's another thing that you're trying to crack, I presume.
00:10:45.020
Is my analogy to the groupthink of what we just saw in that opening clip and eras of the
00:10:51.040
past where people tolerated, promoted, condoned, and applauded violence?
00:10:58.080
Is there any material difference between this level of rationalizing, justifying violence
00:11:07.440
Look, these frailties of the architecture of the human mind are not specific to the current
00:11:16.860
It is an indelible part of the architecture of the human mind, for example, to be parasitized.
00:11:22.420
The only thing that is specific to the current era are the specific idea pathogens that manifest
00:11:30.760
So, 300 years ago, it would have been perfectly reasonable for us to organize our neighborhood
00:11:40.200
Let's throw her into some water, see if she actually swims.
00:11:44.600
If she does swim, that proves that she's a witch.
00:11:47.200
And if she drowns, oops, I guess Linda wasn't a witch.
00:11:52.860
Now, in that time, that parasitic idea made perfect sense.
00:12:03.160
And so, the only thing that is unique about the current time period are the specific forms
00:12:09.760
of parasitic ideas, irrationality, emotional incontinence.
00:12:14.220
But all of these things are an indelible part of the human spirit, unfortunately.
00:12:19.280
Now, you said something, and I'm not sure if I just connected two dots, and it's going
00:12:23.800
Salem witch trials, I remember, I don't know where I heard it, that there was some argument,
00:12:27.800
theory, that there was some sort of mass pollution or mass toxic infection.
00:12:32.840
I think it was because of what people were eating, which made them susceptible to hallucinations
00:12:40.620
Well, I don't know why, but I am an academic, so I always like to cite others.
00:12:46.360
Here are two books that I'm currently using in my forthcoming book on suicidal empathy,
00:12:56.080
By the way, I didn't prepare these for this talk, it's because I'm working on the book.
00:13:09.900
Mewing nuns and headhunting panics, a study of mass psychogenic illness and social delusion.
00:13:18.620
Now, it could be the case that at times, this mass psychogenic illness might actually be
00:13:25.240
rooted in a material infection, but usually the fact that it's mass psychogenic, it's precisely
00:13:34.860
It's a mimetic transfer of a delusion that is not specifically tied, let's say, to an actual
00:13:43.580
And so, but I talk about that in the forthcoming book, because I'm trying to demonstrate that
00:13:50.100
there are many forms of mimetic transfers that very quickly happen.
00:13:55.840
So, for example, the idea that suicidal empathy should be something laudable in the West is
00:14:01.540
something that has spread very, very quickly through society.
00:14:10.160
So, mimetic, the term meme, which we now use in just common parlance, meme was a term that
00:14:17.240
was introduced by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book called The Selfish Gene, where he was
00:14:24.100
arguing that humans are, of course, both a cultural and biological animal.
00:14:29.680
Well, to the extent that we are a biological animal, our genes propagate.
00:14:34.300
But to the extent that we are a cultural animal, our memes propagate.
00:14:39.760
A meme is anything that can be transferred from one brain to another.
00:14:44.340
So, for example, if I am singing, whistling a jingle, and then you hear it, and now it
00:14:55.960
But if you read my books, I am infecting you with my ideas, my memes.
00:15:01.140
Now, the reason why, in the parasitic mind, I didn't use a mimetic framework, but instead
00:15:08.280
used a neuroparasithological framework, is because memes don't have any inherent valence
00:15:15.080
They could be positive memes, they could be neutral memes, or they could be negative memes.
00:15:19.880
Whereas when you say neuroparasitic, it is actually zombifying you, right?
00:15:24.820
It is a detriment to the host who is being parasitized, to the advantage of the parasite
00:15:31.140
that is altering your neuronal circuitry to suit its reproductive interests.
00:15:36.440
And by the way, just so you know, in our locals community, Sophie Agape says, the Gadsad
00:15:40.600
bingo card, wood crickets, suicidal empathy, parasitic mind, Justin Trudeau, Elon Musk, Trump,
00:15:47.140
And I told her we're going to get to all of them.
00:15:48.600
No, the reason I'm asking that is the idea that there's something in the water, and people
00:15:54.400
today have been talking about the effects of plastics, and what's the word when they
00:15:58.580
interfere with your, there's a word about microplastics interfering with your-
00:16:12.960
And I, look, when you look at, you've seen the meme of the fish mouth, like there's an
00:16:19.040
actual face to what typically ends up being these psycho-rabbit liberals.
00:16:23.200
Is there some sort of genetic or external component that makes people go off the edge?
00:16:29.100
Look, there definitely, for example, is proof that, let's say, testosterone is very down,
00:16:34.600
right, for all sorts of, you know, material reasons.
00:16:38.360
But I think the more direct route to that, the castration, if you'd like, is really through
00:16:48.940
There could be some elements of what is proverbially or literally in the water.
00:16:55.220
But I think what is causing the castration and the spinelessness that we're seeing is really
00:17:03.680
By the way, speaking of that, can I just read for you a tweet that I posted earlier?
00:17:08.740
And it was endocrine disruptors was the word I was looking for.
00:17:11.520
This was Jessica Rose who mentioned to me for the first, well, I heard it a few times, but
00:17:14.760
then Jessica Rose got into it and it was amazing.
00:17:31.420
Anyway, dear Bill Burr, I personally know Elon Musk.
00:17:35.540
If you'd like, I can explore with Elon the possibility of how to grow a spine and testicles
00:17:41.500
in the lab, subsequent to which we can offer you those transplant services for free.
00:17:47.160
Please let me know if this is something that might interest you.
00:17:49.680
In the meantime, I hope that you'll return on Rogan's show to make fun of my name.
00:17:54.340
That was a truly hilarious bit that only a comedic genius could come up with.
00:18:01.060
The level of disdain that I feel for this spineless castrato is immeasurable, right?
00:18:06.300
Like for me to stop writing suicidal empathy so I can go after this guy, because he is the
00:18:12.860
perfect manifestation of what's happened to the US.
00:18:16.740
He is exactly, I mean, of course, Justin Trudeau, too.
00:18:19.380
But he is a representation of both the parasitic mind and suicidal empathy, right?
00:18:25.240
I mean, think about the platform that this degenerate has.
00:18:28.960
And all he does all day is go on shows talking about how Elon Musk is a Nazi and so on.
00:18:37.980
Well, no, we're going to get into a little bit more of it because it's a very weird thing
00:18:42.660
And I do wonder if social media, the phenomenon of the dopamine rush from the tweet has actually
00:18:48.160
either infiltrated or exacerbated the awfulness through which people do politics, where instead
00:18:54.280
of it actually being, you know, thought out, insightful policy, it's whatever gets the
00:19:01.980
Bill Burr coming out and not ostensibly, but in reality, promoting violence against
00:19:07.580
billionaires, not realizing that a billionaire to him, he is that much of a billionaire to
00:19:15.460
And if the idea that he's going to be promoting summary execution of billionaires because they
00:19:19.980
mistreat the people off of whom they make their money, he's summoning demons in terms
00:19:24.820
of what someone might rationalize doing to him, because to them, he's a billionaire just,
00:19:29.660
you know, with a little less money, but much more than him.
00:19:33.500
You know, they can only get away with it because they're sheltered from the consequences of the
00:19:41.580
And by the way, one of the things that I've often been asked, you know, are there some
00:19:47.340
disciplines that are, academic disciplines, that are less likely to be parasitized by all
00:19:54.820
And the reason I thought about this is because you were saying that they're sheltered by the
00:19:59.800
Well, the engineering school and the business school are probably the two least parasitized
00:20:07.540
faculties, academic faculties or disciplines, because to your point, they are wedded to reality.
00:20:15.680
There is an autocorrective mechanism whereby if you espouse nonsense, look, you can't build
00:20:21.480
bridges using postmodernist physics because there's this thing called the bridge will collapse.
00:20:27.380
You can't build economic models to understand, you know, whatever, consumer choice or, you
00:20:32.600
know, economic, macroeconomic realities if you use postmodernist mathematics, because
00:20:37.520
a lot of people are probably paying you a lot of money to do those predictions.
00:20:42.400
And if it's based on nonsense, people are going to be upset.
00:20:45.380
So in a sense, the reason why originally many of these idiotic ideas, yes, they all stemmed
00:20:51.280
from academia, but specifically came from things like the humanities and some of the activist
00:20:56.640
fields within the social sciences is because the professor can get up in front of his gullible
00:21:01.100
group of students, pontificate nonsense without ever facing the slap of reality auto-correcting
00:21:08.880
And that's why you saw the proliferation of these ideas completely unencumbered by common
00:21:15.280
The, you know, Bill, I mean, the issues that Bill Burr is running on the same, you know,
00:21:20.820
late night shows that are out there promoting outright terrorism.
00:21:24.420
And so I, it's, they, they revel in it, it becomes sort of their niche.
00:21:28.600
And the more they think the audience wants to hear it, the more extreme they get.
00:21:32.120
Like Bill Burr has gone off, off a fricking cliff within the last six months.
00:21:36.800
And I mean, all look, I, I never watched Jimmy Kimmel, but I started looking at it because,
00:21:46.000
I mean, I mean, literally, I think I was substantially funnier than him when I was seven or eight years
00:21:52.120
I mean, I mean, literally in sort of my comedic timing, my satire was a lot funnier than anything
00:21:57.700
The other guy, Jimmy Fallon, I mean, he's painful to watch.
00:22:00.820
Now, the only guy that I did follow in the past, in terms of his career was Stephen Colbert,
00:22:06.700
who at the time when he was with Jon Stewart, he really seemed to have a really spicy, unique
00:22:13.440
And he's also gone completely off the deep end.
00:22:16.240
And so now the only quote late night show that I watch, it's not even that late on, it's
00:22:23.140
And I usually watch Gutfeld, not so much for the, the interaction of all the guests, but
00:22:28.220
his monologue is, I mean, I know Greg Gutfeld well, we've had dinner together.
00:22:41.220
But all of these other guys, not only are they no longer funny, but they're so wimpy,
00:22:50.260
Well, Jimmy Fallon is irritating to watch because all his shtick is laughing like a goof.
00:22:57.520
It's funny you mentioned Colbert because he was funny back when he, back when he had a
00:23:04.280
It's back when he had some introspection and get, I don't know if there's any, if you've
00:23:11.800
I find that the more liberal people get, the less funny they get.
00:23:15.500
And it correlates to the more haughty they get or the more self-absorbed they get, they
00:23:21.560
And I don't know if it's a correlation that I'm drawing or if it's, if it's empirically
00:23:25.880
justified, that the more seriously you take yourself, the less funny you become in life.
00:23:34.400
So first of all, in one of the earlier chapters in The Parasitic Mind, I have a whole
00:23:40.960
And there what I do is I, I, I explain the power of satire in the context of how I use
00:23:49.300
I use satire, sarcasm, ridicule, mockery, not because I'm a mean guy, but because there
00:23:55.120
is nothing more effective in highlighting stupidity than the use of satire.
00:24:02.040
I mean, this is why I always remind people that dictators, usually they don't first go
00:24:10.700
They go after the guys with the sharp tongues, right?
00:24:13.320
That's why the old, the maxim of the, you know, the pen is mightier than the sword.
00:24:17.400
It's because what is dangerous to your position of authority as a dictator is if somebody comes
00:24:30.460
I would add another dimension, actually coming from an evolutionary perspective, self-deprecation,
00:24:37.560
and I'm going to use fancy language, but then I'll explain it, is actually a costly signal
00:24:51.820
So a costly signal in evolutionary biology is the following.
00:24:56.100
I often use the peacock's tail, but I could have given you 73 million other examples.
00:25:00.940
The peacock's tail could not have evolved through natural selection.
00:25:05.840
Natural selection is the mechanism that confers a survival advantage to an animal.
00:25:11.040
Now, the reason why it's not through natural selection is because actually having that big,
00:25:15.700
burdensome, conspicuous tail reduces your survivability.
00:25:21.600
It makes it more difficult for you to take flight and escape from predators.
00:25:27.660
Well, it evolves through a dual mechanism called sexual selection, which is the evolutionary mechanism
00:25:33.420
that confers reproductive advantage to an animal.
00:25:38.820
Therefore, that peacock's tail is saying, despite my tail being burdensome, despite it being costly,
00:25:47.540
I mean, literally costly in a physiological sense, but costly in that it reduces the likelihood of my surviving,
00:25:57.620
Therefore, this must be an honest signal of my phenotypic quality.
00:26:02.600
Therefore, ladies in the p-hands, please pick me because I'm not a pretender.
00:26:09.040
So it's an incredibly powerful explanation of how many of these things evolve.
00:26:18.860
If I am actually someone who's very self-assured, I don't have the fragility that would make it difficult for me
00:26:27.800
to turn my satire and mockery against myself, right?
00:26:37.140
And so I can make fun of the fact that I'm not six foot one without it affecting my sense of self
00:26:44.660
because my confidence makes me actually seven feet tall.
00:26:48.740
And so when I start putting on weight, I can go on social media and say,
00:26:54.440
all right, ladies and gentlemen, I think I have officially reached walrus status.
00:26:58.920
Well, because I'm not insecure about myself, I can make fun of me having just put on weight.
00:27:04.440
And so self-deprecation is an honest signal of true self-confidence.
00:27:11.100
And to your point, having said all this, when you have these super acerbic, nasty progressives
00:27:20.620
who are ultimately shaky about their ideologies, they can't turn it inwards and make fun of themselves
00:27:26.940
because that would require for you to be self-assured about your bullshit.
00:27:31.240
And they're not self-assured. So what they'll do instead is they'll try to cancel you for having mocked them.
00:27:36.940
Goddamn, just that right there was about $10,000 worth of tuition fee.
00:27:42.900
I'm snipping and clipping that and I want to turn it into not a short, but a segment for subsequent publication.
00:27:51.480
I never realized that the female version of a peacock is called a peahen.
00:27:54.420
I thought they were just both called peacocks and now I know that it is amazing because like it's my it's my own self-reflection.
00:28:03.580
It's all like, of course, you can make you could say whatever the hell you want about me,
00:28:06.500
which is why like trolling doesn't exactly work.
00:28:08.820
And not because I'm uber confident, but I think it's just because I'm uber realistic.
00:28:12.420
But the people who feign outrage at every slight and every every minor insult are the most insecure,
00:28:23.280
I want to read you something from from this guy.
00:28:30.180
Let me go get an Amazon link for this as you speak.
00:28:34.740
I swear to God, I just opened by fluke and it's exactly on the page that I wanted.
00:28:44.040
People are going to think we coordinated this like a like a fine dance.
00:28:53.400
OK, that's the title of the section on page 51 of the paperback edition of the Parasitic Mind.
00:29:03.020
And right now I've given I've put the link for the book, the Amazon affiliate link.
00:29:09.260
There are several quotes here at the start of the section, but I'll read one for you.
00:29:28.400
OK, that's an unfortunate name, but I guess it might be normal in another language.
00:29:35.280
How much truth is contained in something can be best determined by making it thoroughly
00:29:42.700
laughable and then watching to see how much joking around it it can take.
00:29:47.840
For truth is a matter that can stand mockery that is freshened by any ironic gesture directed
00:30:06.440
The other one, which might be even shorter, is truth is like a line.
00:30:18.780
I got it on Audible because I only listen to the book.
00:30:23.680
Then the new one, Suicidal Empathy, you're going to do the voice for the audio book.
00:30:29.380
So in the first draft, so the Suicidal Empathy is with HarperCollins, which is, you know,
00:30:35.540
what I guess the number two top publisher in the world.
00:30:38.840
So when they first sent me the contract and having received so much abuse from readers
00:30:45.280
and fans and Joe Rogan, because I hadn't read my last couple of books in, you know,
00:30:51.420
in self-narrated, but I tried to explain to people that it wasn't my choice to make.
00:30:56.340
I made sure to change the clause in the draft of the HarperCollins that said I reserved
00:31:06.900
Now, I can't promise that they'll go with it, but at least it is included as a clause
00:31:15.060
I'm not sure if I ever wrote a book, if my voice is sufficiently unique, but there's
00:31:18.260
some who have a distinctly unique voice and you are certainly one of them.
00:31:21.320
Um, but now again, talking about tyrants who can't, um, who can't experience, uh, mockery
00:31:27.520
Europe, you're, you're, you're back in Montreal right now, right?
00:31:33.500
Uh, I, every time I have a Canadian on, I feel like, is it, is everything as bad up there
00:31:38.160
as we think it is the anti-Trump nonsense in Montreal, in Canada, it's as bad as it looks
00:31:45.440
We're not just seeing the filter up effects of it.
00:31:48.580
So I joked, but I, I joked, but it's true that Trump's powers are so magnificent that
00:31:58.060
he was able to take a post-nation country like Canada.
00:32:03.660
Remember Trudeau told us that we are a post-nation country, right?
00:32:08.200
And he turned Canadians into being patriotic again by banding them together against mean,
00:32:24.360
I mean, there's nothing wrong with being patriotic.
00:32:28.220
Typical interaction I have with fans who come up to me on the street.
00:32:48.000
Do you mind if I ask who you're going to be voting for in the next federal election?
00:32:56.180
How the hell did you just finish saying thank you for everything that you stand for when everything that I stand for is the perfect antithesis of what the liberals who are illiberals stand for?
00:33:11.100
But that shows you the disconnect that happens in the minds of most Canadians.
00:33:16.320
What's driving me nuts is that people are stupid enough.
00:33:23.720
Anybody who's stupid enough to vote for a liberal is an idiot who has learned nothing from the last nine years.
00:33:30.380
Now, it's not to say that I would endorse Pierre Poilievre because I don't and won't.
00:33:35.780
But you'd have to be stupid to continue voting for the very party that has destroyed you for the last decade.
00:33:41.800
Only because you don't know that the guy that's replaced him, A, was behind the scenes the entire time advising Trudeau.
00:33:48.760
So it's not even as though he's better than Trudeau.
00:33:50.960
So I'm not sure which podcast it was I was listening to you where you're like he's he he's a little bit better than Trudeau because Trudeau is the worst.
00:33:58.740
He's I think he's worse than Trudeau because he is Trudeau's guiding policy behind the back scenes.
00:34:03.620
And he is the successful globalist whore that Justin Trudeau is aspiring to be.
00:34:08.600
You have to be an idiot to vote for the liberals, period.
00:34:12.340
And the fact that I'm looking at the markets and it's like 60 percent now of the markets think that it's going to be a liberal prime minister.
00:34:20.180
And it seems that it's motivated by this anti-Trump derangement syndrome in Canada who has got bigger problems to worry about than what Trump is doing in America or even the fear of what he might do to Canada through tariffs.
00:34:32.980
Because I have a theory about this, that it's it's it's a self-defense mechanism where Canadians cannot control their own misery.
00:34:40.380
So the only thing they can do is redirect the anger as a result of their uncontrolled misery by pointing it at a boogeyman who they then get to blame for the misery they're experiencing and have experienced for the last 10 years, even though they know deep down he's not the cause.
00:34:58.100
I mean, now Trump has, you know, sort of softened his position to to argue, you know, for reciprocal tariffs, which, again, if you are a perfectly knowledgeable evolutionist, you'd recognize, as I explained in Suicidal Empathy, that reciprocity is a foundational Darwinian mechanism that that shapes all sorts of social interactions.
00:35:19.440
I mean, literally, social grooming that is found in primates, right?
00:35:28.240
The primate comes, gives their back to his friend, who then picks off the ticks and the parasites that he otherwise couldn't reach, with the understanding that once you're done grooming me, I'll reciprocate and offer you that service.
00:35:40.840
So in several of my earlier books in, you know, in evolutionary psychology, I talk about the importance of reciprocity as a Darwinian, as a foundational, fundamental Darwinian mechanism that oils social bonds.
00:35:52.580
So it makes perfect evolutionary sense to me that if you impose 100% tariff on me, then it's certainly not onerous that I would impose the exact same one on you.
00:36:03.700
But notwithstanding that argument, you're getting upset at Trump for levying tariffs, but you're quiet at the astounding parasitic taxation system that we are under in Canada.
00:36:18.340
I mean, if the currency that you are trying to optimize is how much money should be left in your pocket, who is the greater thief of the size of your wallet?
00:36:28.740
Is it Donald Trump in the last six weeks, or is it what you are faced in terms of taxation in Canada?
00:36:37.000
It's a quite an important problem when it comes to, say, you know, trying to create collusions amongst people.
00:36:47.460
Many people in Canada benefit from parasitic taxation.
00:36:51.260
And therefore, when I go on social media and I rail against all my money being stolen from me, the typical answer I get, which really, I mean, genuinely not only kills me, it hurts me.
00:37:03.620
Let me say, not all your money, just half of your money.
00:37:10.220
I get, well, what's the big, why are you such a, you know, a pig?
00:37:15.220
Why can't you share your wealth with the rest of us?
00:37:17.140
So if 95% of Canadians are the net beneficiary of the taxation Ponzi scheme, it's left to the 5% like me to support the rest of the Ponzi pyramid, right?
00:37:30.260
And so I don't think we'll ever get rid of the parasitic taxation because too many people benefit from it.
00:37:39.200
But unfortunately, Canadians are very, very likely to make the same mistake again with Carney.
00:37:44.000
I will do my best to make sure it doesn't happen.
00:37:46.460
But I got into a bit of a, not a fight with a guy named Harry Faulkner, who's a journalist.
00:37:51.940
And then, you know, they fault me for leaving or people fault me for leaving.
00:37:55.440
And I do appreciate 50% of that is not envy, but the desire, the anger that they can't leave, despite the fact that they want to.
00:38:03.720
And then there's probably a bunch, a bunch who say they're going to sit there and fight.
00:38:07.080
And I'm like, do you think I want to pay 50% of whatever I make to the government so they can tyrannize me, brutalize me, brutalize my children?
00:38:14.340
And it's somehow, that's more patriotic for me to go finance the abusive machine than vote with my feet.
00:38:20.640
And I'm still, we pay a lot of tax here because you still pay it to the federal.
00:38:24.160
But you have to be stupid to finance your abusers if you have the option.
00:38:29.220
Again, not, sorry, go ahead, finish your point.
00:38:30.900
No, no, no, I was going to get back to the tariffs, but go ahead, please.
00:38:33.120
I was going to say, there's nothing that angers me more than the discussion of taxation.
00:38:40.700
But I'm happy to do it, even though there's going to be a noticeable increase in my blood pressure as I try to say this.
00:38:47.520
Look, 1917 in Canada was the first time that income taxes was levied in 1917.
00:38:55.560
1917, and it was meant to be for a very, very short time period, very small amount from a very few people, you know, because of the war stuff, right?
00:39:05.880
And similar history in the United States and so on, right?
00:39:10.420
120 years later, it's only gotten worse and never gotten better, right?
00:39:16.800
So, we start with a very, very small temporary thing, then it grows to more, to more.
00:39:25.540
The highest progressive tax rate at the federal level is 33%.
00:39:30.420
The highest at the Quebec level is 25%, so 25 and 33.
00:39:36.920
Now, so if you're making over a certain amount, you're getting taxed at that rate, right?
00:39:41.080
Now, let's add the fact that when you're taxing me on this, there is something unique about taxing my mind.
00:39:48.900
It's not I bought this for a dollar and I sold it for two.
00:39:54.260
But taxing my mind, my words, my theories, when most of the royalties were made outside of Canada, and you keep 58%, that is a unique level of debauchery, right?
00:40:17.980
By the way, they taxed me already on my professorial salary, much more than 50%.
00:40:22.720
But now, I went out and wrote bestselling books.
00:40:28.460
Now, you'd say, okay, maybe you feel a sense of shame.
00:40:32.460
Now, the 42% that I'm left with, when I go out and buy stuff, you tax me 15% on that, both sales tax provincial and federal.
00:40:49.040
And you tax me school tax and property tax and so on.
00:40:52.820
So, once I end up with all of the taxes, I'm roughly left with 30 cents to the dollar.
00:40:58.860
So, that someone like me, who by any measure is a very, very successful member of society, when I look at the end of the year at what I have left in money, I go, where's the money?
00:41:17.200
Well, because the government is an empathetic government that doesn't think it's fair for you to be more successful than others.
00:41:24.980
They will take your money and redistribute it properly.
00:41:29.820
And again, as someone who has broken the residency requirement, there is that exit tax, which they gleefully charge you a deemed disposition of the value of your assets, which you may or may not have.
00:41:40.660
And that's what you have to pay when you leave.
00:41:45.100
And people don't really understand just how bad it is up in Canada.
00:41:48.540
Because it's not like the 47 to 50% of your income.
00:41:52.860
And you say property tax, mutation tax, hidden taxes, license fee renewal, passport renewal.
00:42:03.660
Squander it on foreign countries, on foreign conflict and whatever.
00:42:06.680
The issue with the tariffs, and I brought up someone in the chat, said,
00:42:10.680
Canada wouldn't be so pissed if they weren't systematically exploited in the U.S.
00:42:18.720
Paul Yev comes out and says, I'm standing up for Canadians, so we're going to impose retaliatory tariffs.
00:42:23.300
Canadians don't seem to understand tariffs on chicken, milk, poultry, meat.
00:42:28.100
In the U.S., it's been like 200, 300% that they've imposed on American imports to prop up the Canadian market.
00:42:33.960
And all of a sudden, Trump comes in and says, I want to stand up for Americans.
00:42:38.280
He's a traitor to Canadians as though he ever had an obligation to them.
00:42:41.520
But when Canadians fight back, then it's defending Canadian jobs.
00:42:46.360
It's predicated on ignorance, is the bottom line.
00:42:51.080
Well, it's predicated on ignorance, and it's predicated on a sense of entitlement that's difficult to comprehend, right?
00:42:57.880
There is something in decision-making called rational choice theory, right?
00:43:03.060
Rational actor theory, which basically says that all other things equal, it makes perfect sense,
00:43:08.560
and certainly evolutionary sense, that people or actors look out for their best interests.
00:43:14.680
I mean, it's at the root of Ayn Rand's objectivism, right?
00:43:21.420
So why would it seem, I mean, why can't you have theory of mind as a Canadian and say,
00:43:27.420
in the same way that we benefit from this, they've decided to stop the gravy train?
00:43:33.040
By the way, when I tell that to Canadians, I'm treated as though I'm treasonous, right?
00:43:37.720
Because a logical person should just say that Donald Trump is Himmler,
00:43:43.860
and the fact that he is trying to negotiate a better deal for his people proves that he's Himmler.
00:43:50.780
By the way, my 16-year-old daughter went to see her physiotherapist because she was having knee problems,
00:43:57.500
which she has been having, you know, endemically now because of soccer.
00:44:00.740
That physiotherapist took the opportunity to start lecturing for, you know, 20, 30 minutes, my daughter,
00:44:09.440
because my daughter said that, yes, you know, we often vacation in the United States.
00:44:16.420
And then the physiotherapist tells my daughter in a very condescending and patronizing way,
00:44:21.300
oh, sweetie, it looks like you've drank the Kool-Aid.
00:44:24.900
Meaning, like, right, no rational person could ever have anything good to say about the United States.
00:44:34.100
That might explain why you're aping your dad's favorite position towards the United States.
00:44:40.160
No, that pisses me right off beyond the point of no return.
00:44:49.840
The audacity to do it in front of the parent, but the audacity to do it when the parent is not there is beyond words.
00:44:56.720
Like, not that this doctor might be very well versed in politics.
00:45:00.300
To indoctrinate somebody else's kid in the absence of the parent where the parent is not, that's enraging.
00:45:05.920
I had a similar experience with at least one of my doctors who has now gone off the deep end in terms of, like, off the deep end.
00:45:12.340
And this was my GP who, he checked my prostate.
00:45:16.360
And then I'm sure if he did it now, he would, like, deliberately cause some additional harm.
00:45:22.100
And I don't know how you come back from it, but I don't know where it stops.
00:45:30.800
I think that, you know, the demographic shifts that have happened in Canada, I fear that they are irreversible.
00:45:38.400
I mean, there is a pathway to reverse them, but there is no stomach to do such cataclysmic changes, right?
00:45:45.640
I mean, you know, absolutely deport anyone who exhibits any ideological commitment to any belief system that is contrary to our foundational values.
00:46:00.000
I mean, there is such a thing as being seditious, right?
00:46:05.900
So, but you have to have the courage to be able to invoke such things, right?
00:46:09.960
Now, the reality is that Canada is changing in ways, as I know you know, Viva, in ways that are simply astounding.
00:46:17.940
And I may have mentioned this before, and if I have, forgive me for repeating, but maybe I haven't.
00:46:22.260
But from 1975, when we first moved to Canada from Lebanon to 1998, and the only reason I know that it's 1998, because it was an episodic memory, which I'll explain in a second, like meaning that I retained it in my long-term memory.
00:46:36.040
From 1975 to 1998, I had never seen a single woman veiled, not one.
00:46:41.540
In 1978, I saw one downtown, and I said, oh my God, I haven't seen this in decades.
00:46:49.300
From 1998 to today, I can walk down on any street and anywhere in Montreal, and 30, 40, 50% of the women are veiled.
00:47:01.900
Now, that didn't happen over a 500-year period.
00:47:07.000
So, what are the numbers that must have occurred over the past two decades to completely alter my sense of belonging in the society, right?
00:47:18.360
Now, I could have easily argued that, look, there's an area in Montreal called Outremont, which, of course, you know, maybe your viewers don't.
00:47:32.460
Now, they are restricted to a very, very small area, and that's fine.
00:47:38.360
Now, imagine if overnight, over the past 20 years, one out of every two people that I saw in Montreal was Hasidim, right?
00:47:52.200
I never signed up to be in an ultra-Orthodox society.
00:47:55.420
So, I don't need to hear the bullshit from people, oh, but you're Islamophobic.
00:48:00.520
First of all, there is no such thing as Islamophobia.
00:48:02.720
But the reality is many of us, I mean, literally escaped that world so that we could have that ideology in the rearview mirror.
00:48:15.040
I mean, for example, at my home university, for many, many years that I was there, we never had to have any meetings regarding religious accommodations.
00:48:25.060
In 2011, I was asked to be on a university-wide committee, which was stupid of them to ask me to be on it.
00:48:32.180
They asked me to be on a committee in order for us to now navigate religious accommodation issues.
00:48:38.040
And I brought up the point right there in front of everybody while everybody put their head down and started shuffling their paper, pretending they didn't hear me speak.
00:48:45.800
I said, I'm wondering, why is it that we have called for this religious accommodation meeting now?
00:48:51.900
Has something happened at Concordia or in Montreal or in Quebec that necessitates that we've had this?
00:48:58.740
Of course, we all knew what it was, but nobody was willing to say what it was.
00:49:03.300
So, cultures and religions have specific belief systems.
00:49:09.380
Some of those belief systems might be perfectly consistent with the belief systems of the whole society, and some might be perfectly antithetical.
00:49:17.660
It doesn't take a fancy professor to make that point, and yet, regrettably, our immigration policy has been one that says all immigrants are equally likely to assimilate,
00:49:29.240
and Canada will forevermore bear the brunt of that decision.
00:49:34.240
Well, what's amazing, Encryptus brought this up.
00:49:37.200
I remember it when Trudeau said Canada has no core identity.
00:49:41.260
And I remember people calling Canada a post-nation state.
00:49:47.280
I have all this in suicidal empathy, by the way.
00:50:00.080
And talking about, like, the Orwellian tearing up the script mid-speech and just going the other way,
00:50:04.760
and everybody pretends that that's what they were saying all along,
00:50:06.860
and going back to the concept from the beginning,
00:50:09.980
the flag during the Ottawa protest was considered a far-right extremist Russian-financed object
00:50:16.120
that the right was exploiting to claim patriotism while they were secretly far-right extremists.
00:50:21.780
CBC ran an article where they said the word freedom has become the rallying call for the far-right.
00:50:28.220
And now, all of a sudden, it's like they take the flag, they take the word freedom,
00:50:31.880
they take the word nationalism, and they adopt it and make it their own,
00:50:34.600
despite what they've been saying for the last 10 years.
00:50:36.440
But you said they had the religious accommodation thing in 2011.
00:50:42.140
Well, I think it was, well, I mean, what was happening certainly at Concordia is, I mean, look,
00:50:51.680
Concordia for certainly well over 20 plus years has been colloquially referred to as Gaza University.
00:51:01.420
I was going to bring it up, but I don't want to be, I don't want to look like I was being overtly controversial.
00:51:07.220
I remember in 2000, when I was at McGill, it was 2001.
00:51:14.300
2002, when he came to speak and there were protests and they prevented him from speaking in 2002.
00:51:19.220
2002, I was luckily at McGill, which was the reasonable university, but I think that's fallen off the cliff as well.
00:51:27.000
So I think what happened is that, you know, look, before I answer what happened, let me give a personal story.
00:51:41.680
I think we were playing a semifinal maybe of the Quebec Cup in what's called the Premier League in Quebec.
00:51:47.640
And it just so happened that the game was happening at the start of Yom Kippur.
00:51:56.680
Yom Kippur, for those of you who don't know, is the highest holiday in Judaism.
00:52:16.680
And at the time, I mean, it's now been a few years that I haven't done Kippur.
00:52:20.360
But from about the age of 10, 11, till about maybe 10 years ago, I had an uninterrupted adherence to Yom Kippur.
00:52:29.400
And so 1985, 86, I would have certainly been in the midst of always adhering to Yom Kippur.
00:52:36.760
I had to play that game without ever drinking or hydrating at that game and then waited 25 hours.
00:52:45.840
I mean, literally, you could die from it, okay, in terms of dehydration, right?
00:52:49.620
And yet, I didn't have the reflex to say, change the schedule to fit my religion.
00:52:57.340
All the years that I have been a professor, even though it wasn't my right to not go to school and teach on the days where it was high holidays,
00:53:07.380
I didn't think it was appropriate of me to do that because that's my problem.
00:53:11.980
I'm at a secular university in a secular society.
00:53:24.720
My burden of my religion is mine alone to bear, not to be imposed on others for them to accommodate my things.
00:53:34.700
But then the beautiful, noble religion of Islam comes along and very quickly says, no, no, no.
00:53:40.820
When you are in our society, you adhere to our wishes.
00:53:45.380
And when we come to your society, you adhere to our wishes.
00:53:53.080
And as the numbers increase, those encroachments become a lot more ominous.
00:53:59.400
Today, as I predicted all along, you now have closing of streets for mass prayers.
00:54:10.760
When there's only two or three of us, but why, God?
00:54:19.120
But once we become a lot more, we're a lot more forceful.
00:54:22.620
And then one day you wake up, oops, you live in an Islamic society.
00:54:25.960
I appreciate, first of all, the historical argument to that and the examples of it.
00:54:30.480
I know just some, the pushback would be the rules of, like, why food is kosher when there's
00:54:36.060
only one and a half percent of the population who are Jewish.
00:54:38.700
The pushback would be, what is the eruv, the little string that they put around neighborhoods?
00:54:43.640
And some people say, look, it was always my view as well.
00:54:46.220
I went to three different high schools, one of which was a very, I think it was Protestant.
00:54:52.880
And I, like, I was rebellious for the sake of being rebellious, but I, you know, when
00:54:57.240
people got upset that they had tryouts on Yom Kippur, I was like, if you want to live
00:55:00.660
in a Jewish state, you can go live in the Jewish state, especially if you want to go to a school
00:55:04.680
that is fundamentally Protestant of origin, I'm going to feel really stupid if it was Catholic.
00:55:11.120
I know that people are going to say, however, that the same can be said to, say, a much
00:55:16.400
lesser extent of the Jewish community as well, where you get holidays for Jewish holidays
00:55:21.320
in non-Jewish societies, and that would be one of the flaws or the faults that they would
00:55:25.280
levy against the Jewish community, just materializing in a different way.
00:55:29.400
I mean, it's also a matter of how you go about imposing those requests, right?
00:55:37.280
I mean, the sheer numbers of the number of Jews that there is in the world versus the number
00:55:43.460
of Muslims is an important fact to incorporate into the discussion.
00:55:50.980
So, for example, but by the way, this is going to come to this point in a second.
00:55:55.640
A few days ago, I posted a clip of what looked like a woman completely covered so that her
00:56:07.860
It's the, it's the, it's a, you just shared a photo of Jewish, Jewish woman, Jewish sex.
00:56:14.740
Well, even if that is the case, I don't support that, right?
00:56:18.420
I don't support the eraser of women if they are done by Jews or done by anybody else.
00:56:24.100
That said, the number of Jewish women that adhere to this can roughly be counted on maybe
00:56:31.880
The number of women that have this imposed on them on Islam is all, say, in the order
00:56:40.880
It's also disastrous for the 10 Jewish women that are forced to have their identities erased.
00:56:46.260
But in the same way that a two pound person is overweight and a 200 pounds person is overweight,
00:56:52.360
the fact that we use the word overweight for both doesn't mean that we don't also recognize
00:56:59.700
But of course, for the degenerates, those kinds of nuances are lost.
00:57:03.800
Well, and, and speaking of which it was, I want to refresh my memory as to the year, but
00:57:07.720
it was the question as to whether or not new immigrants to Canada would have to take their
00:57:11.700
veil off for the purposes of the swearing in ceremony.
00:57:15.040
And I even think for photographs and yet, I mean, look, there's, there's, I've always been
00:57:19.920
of this opinion and it's not specific to anyone, religion or anything.
00:57:23.220
It's like, you want to live in Quebec, speak French.
00:57:25.000
And if you don't want to speak French, get the hell out.
00:57:26.880
If you don't like a French province, don't live there.
00:57:31.780
But no, Montreal, Concordia has always been very progressive to the point of over the
00:57:38.180
And I think all of Montreal has gotten that way, but the demographics of Canada now, and
00:57:42.620
I was talking about this recently with someone, it's, it's one in four people in Canada are
00:57:50.620
It's, it is, there are, there are European white, you know, immigrants that if you brought
00:57:55.440
them in certain numbers, you'd have, you'd have problems and you'd have reactions.
00:57:59.920
It's not from any one, it's from a cohesion of assimilation to the values of that country.
00:58:05.400
And I think Canada's now, I think it's beyond a point of no return.
00:58:10.060
I agree, but so I wrote an article a while ago, which I titled, you know, the key concept
00:58:18.780
Homophily is the liking of similar others, right?
00:58:22.060
And you, you find this kind of effect in many, many contexts.
00:58:26.520
So for example, in, in evolutionary psychology, we have something called assortative mating.
00:58:32.880
Assortative mating is the idea of birds of a feather flock together.
00:58:36.280
So, and I discussed this in the, in this book, oh, wait a minute, this, this book right here.
00:58:41.380
That was the Gads, the, uh, the sad truth about happiness.
00:58:44.840
So in that book, I talk about, uh, you know, a fundamental decision that you'll make that
00:58:51.640
will either impart great happiness or great misery upon you is choosing the right spouse.
00:58:56.520
And there I talk about two opposing maxims when it comes to mate choice, either birds
00:59:01.060
of a feather flock together or opposites attract.
00:59:03.960
And the research overwhelmingly supports the birds of a feather being the correct maxim,
00:59:10.620
certainly for long, long, for long-term marriage.
00:59:12.760
The opposites attract is probably good for short-term sex.
00:59:16.920
If we're looking for a short-term, uh, mating opportunity, I may be, you know, sexually introverted.
00:59:24.260
That complementarity might, might work well, and it might be great.
00:59:27.580
But for long-term happiness, it's birds of a feather flock together.
00:59:31.700
Now, the question is flocking on which feathers?
00:59:33.960
We're talking about the foundational values that, you know, animate and our lives, right?
00:59:38.940
If, if I am very strong in my religion and you happen to be, you know, caustically, uh, atheist,
00:59:46.300
well, even though we'd like to think that love conquers all, we're probably putting the stats
00:59:50.320
against us, given that our difference in worldview regarding religion as being part of our daily
00:59:58.100
So, we know that homophily, preferring someone similar to you, happens in mate choice.
01:00:10.340
So, there's great research that shows that if you take photos of, uh, human owners and
01:00:17.740
their dogs, but you don't match them, you just put five here, five here, and you ask people
01:00:22.660
to match which one goes with whom, people are able to match them at much above chance level,
01:00:31.640
That's why, for example, I have Belgian shepherds because Belgian shepherds are extremely good
01:00:37.460
looking, very aristocratic, very regal, very majestic, and it would make sense that I would
01:00:44.040
You, you see how I can deliver that with a straight face?
01:00:46.360
Uh, so you see, so, so now why am I saying all this?
01:00:49.960
Well, apply that principle to choosing immigrants homophily, right?
01:00:55.100
All other things equal, if we have shared linguistic heritage, it puts one tick in our favor.
01:01:02.880
If we have shared history when it comes to individual freedoms, that's another one.
01:01:09.940
If we have shared interests in living in a secular society, that's another one.
01:01:14.920
So, all other things equal, somebody from Denmark, who's, who's indigenously Danish, is, is on
01:01:22.460
average, more likely to fit in within an Anglo-Saxon society than someone from Sana'a, Yemen.
01:01:30.040
Not because Yemen doesn't have lovely people, but they are equipped with a set of religious
01:01:35.740
and cultural baggage that some might be consistent with Canada, others may be perfectly inconsistent
01:01:42.860
It doesn't take a very fancy evolutionary behavioral scientist to tell us that.
01:01:46.560
So, now if you import hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people, who come from societies
01:01:53.380
where Pew survey has found that 95% to 99% of people polled from those societies have endemic
01:02:06.560
Does it take a fancy professor to tell you that after a few years, you're going to have
01:02:11.740
an increase in Jew hatred in the whole society?
01:02:16.440
Well, it doesn't take much to predict that, right?
01:02:19.080
So, now they're setting up task force to understand what has led to this Jew hatred.
01:02:25.980
Well, I mean, could it be because you've let in millions of people whose definitional metric
01:02:35.220
People will accuse you for emphasizing the Jew aspect of this.
01:02:39.740
You can look to Sweden and it doesn't materialize as Jew hatred, but rather materializes as women's
01:02:45.320
And you have problems in which may or may not be specific Jew hatred, but rather also and
01:02:51.960
including intercultural problems that occur among the very same people that are coming in
01:02:56.620
who then import their local domestic strife into Canadian politics, which I believe we're
01:03:02.840
seeing in certain parts of Canada, cities I shan't, I shan't mention, um, get the, uh,
01:03:08.620
I mean, uh, you look like you're going to have, no, no, no, no, forget that the blood pressure
01:03:15.340
Um, I, I'm, it's tongue in cheek, but, um, I mean, I guess I did, what are you doing and
01:03:24.060
Cause at some point, um, I mean, people may fault me for having jumped ship, although I
01:03:30.140
haven't too early at some point, there's a point of no return where the government might
01:03:34.340
say, we like you here too much, Gat, and we're going to, we're going to take everything.
01:03:38.440
No, uh, look, you and I have talked about this privately, but I'm happy to discuss it publicly.
01:03:42.860
Uh, it's been many years that, uh, you know, I've realized that, you know, my family's
01:03:49.940
It's it's people say, well, why don't you leave then?
01:03:58.580
You know, I was a 10 year, I, I am a 10 year professor here.
01:04:01.500
It's not easy to pack your bags and leave and dismantle, you know, all everything you
01:04:05.980
did with your graduate students who are still there and so on.
01:04:08.320
So it's not as easy as you'd like to think, but I really am getting to the place now where
01:04:13.500
if I don't do it now, I will certainly regret it if I, you know, if I wait any longer.
01:04:18.280
So I'm here to tell you, and I think I've already mentioned this on social media, so I'm
01:04:24.080
I've already received several offers from very, very alluring universities in the United
01:04:31.040
So now I'm weighing my various options and I suspect that I don't know exactly when, whether
01:04:36.760
it'll be next year or the year after, but I feel as though my, you know, my, my time
01:04:43.080
You know, it's, it's, uh, at some point it'll be a question of, uh, fleeing a country and
01:04:50.300
Uh, just a few, you have time for a few more questions.
01:04:56.520
Gadzad needs to relocate to Switzerland, like so many others to avoid being devoured by taxation
01:05:00.600
The amazing thing is it's like the Canadian politicians have already figured this out.
01:05:04.040
This is why a lot of them have offshore accounts.
01:05:05.900
This is why we're going to find out what globalist Mark Carney's finances are about, what his
01:05:10.640
assets are, what he's been investing in while advising, uh, Trudeau to cripple the Canadian
01:05:16.120
Did the physiotherapist offer his daughter for being an American sympathizer?
01:05:21.080
Uh, you know, I just, I just did an interview with Kelsey Sharon.
01:05:28.060
Cause we, we talked in depth about maids and it's a topic which, you know, YouTube doesn't
01:05:35.940
Cause people don't know what's going on in Canada.
01:05:37.740
The left have gone way too far off the reservation.
01:05:39.640
They're embracing tribalism to an extreme degree to which I now believe either civil wars or
01:05:44.060
purges will occur across the West or, or something of a, of a divorce where I don't know what
01:05:49.900
states you're looking at, but states are going to have immigration and immigration that's going
01:05:54.960
But the only question is at the community level, when you have doctors who are taking it
01:05:59.460
upon themselves to indoctrinate the children's of their patients, uh, you're going to have,
01:06:03.140
you're going to have factions and breaking up at, at, at a micro level, not just a macro
01:06:11.300
I think there, there, if this continues, and I've said this for, for decades now, uh, there
01:06:19.460
Now people say, oh, come on, that's hyperbolic.
01:06:22.860
The reality is that I can't predict what, whether it'll happen in 15 years or 22 years or
01:06:29.420
29 years, but push this reality to an extreme, people will eventually wake up.
01:06:37.300
What I always try to do is warn people so that the auto correction happens peacefully,
01:06:43.580
but with every day that passes, the chances of that happening peacefully are diminished,
01:06:48.940
Because the dynamics change and it becomes that the only auto correction has to be a muscular
01:06:58.380
Look, we didn't think these things would happen in all sorts of societies where the dynamics
01:07:07.180
Like right in Lebanon, we lived very nicely until we didn't, right?
01:07:12.540
Well, in, in Lebanon, it used to be a majority Christian country during my lifetime, right?
01:07:23.200
And that's what happens in every society where Islam goes.
01:07:26.840
Now it might take two years to purge everybody who's not Muslim, or it might take 200 years.
01:07:32.500
But once Islam makes a sufficient incursion into a society, there is no reversal, right?
01:07:39.640
This is why when you look at the 56 countries that are members of the OIC, the Organization
01:07:45.400
of Islamic Cooperation, most of them are 99, 100%, 98% Islamic.
01:08:01.940
At other times it takes hundreds of years, but it will happen.
01:08:18.100
I got some links that we're going to look at after Gad leaves.
01:08:20.140
But what do you have coming up on your schedule?
01:08:26.940
And if you guys, I'm assuming many of you know who Dr. Scott Atlas is.
01:08:32.340
He's one of the guys who was on Trump's administration in his first term.
01:08:39.740
He's a radiologist out of Stanford who spoke out against a lot of the COVID insanity.
01:08:50.860
Will Cain now has a 4 o'clock show that replaced Cavuto.
01:09:00.360
Next week, I'm back to trying to work on Suicidal Empathy.
01:09:04.140
I've traveled so much the last six weeks that I haven't been able to do much writing.
01:09:09.200
So I'm really looking forward to going back to the cafe and being creative and productive.
01:09:14.100
So those are the most immediate things on my...
01:09:17.360
Now, when I'm done with this, I'm going to put up all your links, Gad.
01:09:23.840
Find a parasitic mind and everybody will eagerly await.
01:09:28.160
Suicidal Empathy, a concept that has already gone mainstream before the book even came out.
01:09:33.400
Look, I can do a search and it comes out in 60 languages.
01:09:39.260
And so once in a while, just to excite my publisher, I will write to them and I say,
01:09:44.180
you're welcome because you're about to break some sales record.
01:09:47.540
I mean, if the current indications are accurate, I think, God willing, it's going to smash the success of parasitic mind.
01:09:58.060
I'm going to see if I can find the Google trends for the term parasitic mind because something tells me it's going to be flatline and then very recently a spike.
01:10:17.620
Hey, Encryptus, can we pull up the Google trend on parasitic mind?
01:10:30.980
I made the joke that, you know, like, Gad came up with the term suicidal empathy, which is,
01:10:34.980
I'll be empathetic to the point where it causes my own demise.
01:10:38.360
And then I was like, well, you know, I think we might have gone to the point where it's now homicidal empathy.
