The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad - The Parasitic Mind, Suicidal Empathy, Taxation, and Canada with Viva Frei (The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad_809)

00:00:00.000 The parking lots.

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.

00:00:20.020 The same suspect shot more Teslas with a gun.

00:00:22.520 Tesla Cybertrucks were set on fire in Kansas City and earlier this month,

00:00:26.440 that's fired at a Tesla dealership in Oregon.

00:00:28.960 Cybertrucks on fire in Seattle.

00:00:31.360 Wow, you guys like petty acts of domestic terrorism, huh?

00:00:35.660 Jim, they're taking to the...

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.

00:01:23.100 Yeah, the crowd is cheering.

00:01:25.280 And we'll find out if Gad Sad finds that comparison offensive.

00:01:29.100 If you do not know who Gad Sad is, there is...

00:01:33.380 Run a poll.

00:01:34.540 There's no poll able to be run.

00:01:35.840 If you do not know who Gad Sad is, put a one in the audience. 0.80

00:01:38.400 We got Gad Sad coming on.

00:01:40.860 I hear him.

00:01:41.180 Okay, Gad, come on in now.

00:01:42.580 All right.

00:01:43.180 Gad and I start talking before the show just to make sure the mics are working.

00:01:45.820 I'm like, dude, we got it.

00:01:46.520 This has all got to go live.

00:01:48.440 We're going to wait for him to...

00:01:49.540 I'm trying to.

00:01:50.320 Okay, here we go.

00:01:51.740 Sir, Gad Sad is...

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...

00:02:11.820 Oh, no.

00:02:12.300 No, no, it wasn't terrible.

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.

00:02:25.860 Well, first, so good to be back with you.

00:02:28.360 Thank you so much.

00:02:29.040 Always a pleasure to be with the vivacious, ebullient, gorgeous, Viva Frey.

00:02:35.700 Who am I?

00:02:37.180 I'm an evolutionary behavioral scientist,

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,

00:02:58.320 largely focused on a business education.

00:03:02.340 It's really a big business school.

00:03:04.820 And I just returned from there yesterday.

00:03:07.280 I was there for the first week of classes.

00:03:11.100 I'm actually teaching a course on the parasitic mind.

00:03:14.800 So that's been really fun.

00:03:15.940 It's been great to interact with the students.

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.

00:03:29.320 Yes, sir.

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.

00:03:40.080 How often do you have to go down to teach it?

00:03:42.240 Yeah, that's a great question.

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, 0.99

00:03:53.280 because we also need to inoculate the professors who are spewing all the bullshit to the students. 0.98

00:04:00.020 And so on Mondays, I teach a one and a half hour course to faculty and staff. 0.98

00:04:06.980 Only the first course, which was this past Monday, is in person.

00:04:11.020 The other ones are remotely.

00:04:12.720 And then I teach another parasitic mind course, but eight weeks long to students,

00:04:18.680 undergraduate 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.

00:04:41.620 And I mean, it's on steroids now, Gad.

00:04:44.400 But the latest book, when is it going to be released?

00:04:49.300 It's on pre-order now.

00:04:50.720 Right.

00:04:50.960 Well, it's not yet available for pre-order.

00:04:54.320 Officially, meaning by contract, I only have to submit the first draft of the book to my publisher next year.

00:05:04.400 But it has so taken off.

00:05:06.360 It is so timely.

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.

00:05:15.620 And so I'm trying to speed up the timeline.

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.

00:05:25.920 And we'll get into, you know, an itemizer.

00:05:28.040 It's going to come up.

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.

00:05:38.640 I'm more simplistic.

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.

00:05:48.780 I don't know how you characterize it.

00:05:50.340 Do you think that this actually reflects the sentiment of a substantial portion of the population?

00:05:54.200 Is this brainwashing via media? 0.55

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.

00:06:02.500 I'm giving them, I'm not their publicist.

00:06:06.380 I'm not related to them.

00:06:08.140 Although one of the authors has been on my show this way.

00:06:10.980 So this book is called The Enigma of Reason.

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

00:06:46.160 simply to win arguments.

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

00:07:09.240 to make sure that their team wins.

00:07:11.520 When Elon was a billionaire on the side of the Democrats, then he was the greatest green 1.00

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.

00:07:31.680 So again, this book is incredible.

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 1.00

00:08:10.220 to, you know, inoculate people against stupidity. 0.99

00:08:14.020 But knowing that the architecture of the human mind doesn't care about truth and only cares 1.00

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

00:08:44.760 there's a certain amount of crowd think?

00:08:46.680 Yeah, that's a great question.

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

00:08:58.380 themselves from others.

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

00:09:08.620 at two types of advertising strategies, okay?

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

00:09:21.560 you come to McDonald's?

00:09:22.520 So there's been social proofing, meaning that it's already been tried and tested, so you

00:09:27.960 can try it as well.

00:09:29.220 There's another type of advertising appeal called a scarcity appeal, right?

00:09:34.200 Limited edition, one of only a few.

00:09:36.800 And it turns out that when you prime people for survival, they're much more likely to prefer

00:09:45.460 the social proofing advertising appeal.

00:09:48.440 But when you prime them for mating, they're much more likely to prefer the scarcity appeal.

00:09:54.860 Why?

00:09:55.500 Because when I'm facing a survival threat, then I want to be part of the herd, therefore

00:10:01.060 social proofing works.

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

00:10:12.900 the scarcity appeals to me.

00:10:15.780 And therefore, we are an animal that both seeks to at times differentiate ourselves from

00:10:21.160 others and at times be part of the herd.

00:10:24.060 Okay, that's actually very fascinating.

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.

00:10:39.500 How do you get through to the masses?

00:10:42.360 I mean, well, first of all, let me back it up.

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?

00:10:55.480 I mean, we're witnessing it right now.

00:10:58.080 Is there any material difference between this level of rationalizing, justifying violence

00:11:02.760 versus historical examples of it?

00:11:05.580 Right.

00:11:05.820 Now, that's another great question.

00:11:07.440 Look, these frailties of the architecture of the human mind are not specific to the current

00:11:15.940 era, right?

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

00:11:29.700 themselves today, right?

00:11:30.760 So, 300 years ago, it would have been perfectly reasonable for us to organize our neighborhood

00:11:37.120 as follows. 0.95

00:11:37.940 I think that Linda might be a witch. 0.94

00:11:40.200 Let's throw her into some water, see if she actually swims. 1.00

00:11:44.600 If she does swim, that proves that she's a witch. 1.00

00:11:47.200 And if she drowns, oops, I guess Linda wasn't a witch. 1.00

00:11:50.440 And hence the Salem witch trials, right?

00:11:52.860 Now, in that time, that parasitic idea made perfect sense.

00:11:56.880 Well, today we have other parasitic ideas.

00:11:59.140 We have postmodernism.

00:12:00.360 We have cultural relativism.

00:12:01.860 We have social constructivism.

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

00:12:22.320 to be a novel idea.

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

00:12:36.400 and this type of psychological madness.

00:12:39.100 Does that ring any bell with you?

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,

00:12:52.420 A Colorful History of Popular Delusions.

00:12:56.080 By the way, I didn't prepare these for this talk, it's because I'm working on the book.

00:13:01.820 And then here's another one.

00:13:05.120 Let me read it for you.

00:13:06.740 Little green men.

00:13:09.900 Mewing nuns and headhunting panics, a study of mass psychogenic illness and social delusion. 1.00

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

00:13:32.340 because there is no material thing.

00:13:34.860 It's a mimetic transfer of a delusion that is not specifically tied, let's say, to an actual

00:13:41.860 nauseous substance.

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.

00:14:05.360 Mimetic means non-tangible, right?

00:14:07.760 Like thought?

00:14:08.540 Yeah, that's a great question.

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.

00:14:38.420 What is a meme?

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

00:14:50.140 goes into your brain, you start whistling it.

00:14:53.060 Well, that was a mimetic transfer of a jingle.

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

00:15:14.820 to them.

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. 1.00

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,

00:15:45.500 and Mark Carney.

00:15:46.240 I could add a few.

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-

00:16:05.000 Like endocrinological system?

00:16:06.440 Yes, that's right.

00:16:08.140 Interrupting, endocrinological interruption.

00:16:12.160 Yes.

00:16:12.960 And I, look, when you look at, you've seen the meme of the fish mouth, like there's an 0.91

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

00:16:45.480 the parasitic idea.

00:16:47.020 So it could be a one-two punch, right?

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

00:17:02.460 coming from those ideas.

00:17:03.680 By the way, speaking of that, can I just read for you a tweet that I posted earlier?

00:17:07.720 Absolutely.

00:17:08.740 And it was endocrine disruptors was the word I was looking for.

00:17:11.220 Thank you.

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.

00:17:17.100 Now, which tweet?

00:17:17.440 Okay, you ready?

00:17:18.200 Is this going to be about Bill Burr?

00:17:20.320 Yes, sir.

00:17:21.200 Okay, because I had that one on the back.

00:17:22.760 I was like, yes.

00:17:23.440 And I got a video of Bill Burr, too.

00:17:25.060 We're going to talk about this.

00:17:26.420 Oh, so you ready?

00:17:27.540 I'm going to read it for you.

00:17:28.980 So all the viewing audience, enjoy.

00:17:31.420 Anyway, dear Bill Burr, I personally know Elon Musk. 0.98

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.

00:17:59.820 Go, Bill.

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. 0.90

00:18:19.380 But he is a representation of both the parasitic mind and suicidal empathy, right? 0.98

00:18:25.240 I mean, think about the platform that this degenerate has. 0.98

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. 0.91

00:18:34.940 And so I have to go after him.

00:18:36.640 I hope you enjoyed that tweet.

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

00:18:41.640 with Bill Burr in particular.

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

00:18:59.260 most immediate reaction from the crowd.

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

00:19:13.120 someone who can't make ends meet.

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

00:19:37.420 very policy that they promote.

00:19:38.720 Exactly right.

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

00:19:53.520 of this nonsense?

00:19:54.820 And the reason I thought about this is because you were saying that they're sheltered by the 1.00

00:19:58.400 consequences of their stupidity. 1.00

00:19:59.800 Well, the engineering school and the business school are probably the two least parasitized 1.00

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. 0.99

00:20:45.380 So in a sense, the reason why originally many of these idiotic ideas, yes, they all stemmed 0.99

00:20:51.280 from academia, but specifically came from things like the humanities and some of the activist 0.98

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

00:21:08.540 you.

00:21:08.880 And that's why you saw the proliferation of these ideas completely unencumbered by common

00:21:14.860 sense.

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.

00:21:35.660 Yes, he has.

00:21:36.800 And I mean, all look, I, I never watched Jimmy Kimmel, but I started looking at it because,

00:21:43.600 you know, people would say how, how bad he is.

00:21:46.000 I mean, I mean, literally, I think I was substantially funnier than him when I was seven or eight years

00:21:51.600 old.

00:21:51.860 Right.

00:21:52.120 I mean, I mean, literally in sort of my comedic timing, my satire was a lot funnier than anything

00:21:56.820 he's ever said.

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

00:22:12.520 delivery.

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

00:22:21.460 at 10 o'clock is Gutfeld.

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.

00:22:33.760 I've been on the show a few times.

00:22:35.400 He is a smart guy and he's a honey badger.

00:22:38.480 He doesn't care.

00:22:39.280 He tells it the way he sees it.

00:22:41.220 But all of these other guys, not only are they no longer funny, but they're so wimpy,

00:22:46.480 they're so castrated, they're so spineless.

00:22:49.060 I can't stand it. 0.97

00:22:50.260 Well, Jimmy Fallon is irritating to watch because all his shtick is laughing like a goof.

00:22:55.060 And then, you know, it's not even funny.

00:22:57.520 It's funny you mentioned Colbert because he was funny back when he, back when he had a

00:23:02.220 sense of humor, but that's sort of a truism.

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

00:23:08.440 had any, you know, specific insights on this.

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

00:23:20.480 lose their sense of humor.

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.

00:23:30.780 I agree.

00:23:31.640 So a couple of things to mention here.

00:23:34.400 So first of all, in one of the earlier chapters in The Parasitic Mind, I have a whole

00:23:38.480 section on the power of satire.

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

00:23:47.560 it in my own public engagement, right?

00:23:49.300 I use satire, sarcasm, ridicule, mockery, not because I'm a mean guy, but because there 0.99

00:23:55.120 is nothing more effective in highlighting stupidity than the use of satire. 0.98

00:24:02.040 I mean, this is why I always remind people that dictators, usually they don't first go 0.99

00:24:08.860 after the guys with the big muscles.

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

00:24:25.020 along and mocks you, satirizes you.

00:24:27.780 So nothing could be other than that.

00:24:29.080 So your point is well taken.

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

00:24:42.640 of your confidence.

00:24:44.680 Let me explain what I...

00:24:45.800 I know exactly what you're saying.

00:24:48.220 And I've, I, oh, I love this.

00:24:50.000 Okay, please go ahead.

00:24:51.480 Yeah.

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.

00:25:19.700 It makes you more conspicuous to predators.

00:25:21.600 It makes it more difficult for you to take flight and escape from predators.

00:25:26.020 Therefore, how could it have evolved?

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,

00:25:55.800 I'm still standing here.

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.

00:26:08.660 I'm not.

00:26:09.040 So it's an incredibly powerful explanation of how many of these things evolve.

00:26:15.160 So now, let's apply it to self-deprecation.

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?

00:26:32.160 So, you know, neither you and I are tall guys.

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 1.00

00:27:26.940 because that would require for you to be self-assured about your bullshit. 0.99

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. 0.99

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. 0.70

00:27:49.360 The most important thing that you said there,

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,

00:28:17.880 fragile people on earth.

00:28:19.680 I want to read you something.

00:28:21.460 Hold on.

00:28:22.600 Stay with me.

00:28:23.280 I want to read you something from from this guy.

00:28:26.520 Now I am plugging my own stuff.

00:28:28.120 You should wear it this way.

00:28:29.360 Let me go.

00:28:30.180 Let me go get an Amazon link for this as you speak.

00:28:32.860 Yes, you better.

00:28:33.720 OK, here we go.

00:28:34.740 I swear to God, I just opened by fluke and it's exactly on the page that I wanted.

00:28:42.840 Yeah.

00:28:44.040 People are going to think we coordinated this like a like a fine dance.

00:28:46.860 I swear to God, I did it.

00:28:47.980 OK, so satire as the surgeon's scalpel.

00:28:53.400 OK, that's the title of the section on page 51 of the paperback edition of the Parasitic Mind.

00:29:01.200 You ready?

00:29:02.580 Please.

00:29:03.020 And right now I've given I've put the link for the book, the Amazon affiliate link.

00:29:07.020 Get the book.

00:29:08.020 Thank you so much.

00:29:09.260 There are several quotes here at the start of the section, but I'll read one for you.

00:29:14.060 Quote, this is from Peter Slaughter Dyke.

00:29:18.200 OK, he's a philosopher.

00:29:19.780 His name is Slaughter Dyke. 0.98

00:29:21.500 Yeah, like S-L-O-T-E-R-D-I-J-K. 1.00

00:29:26.940 Peter Slaughter Dyke.

00:29:28.400 OK, that's an unfortunate name, but I guess it might be normal in another language.

00:29:31.660 OK.

00:29:31.800 But look how brilliant it is.

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

00:29:55.880 at it.

00:29:56.660 Whatever cannot stand satire is false.

00:30:00.120 Close quote.

00:30:00.920 I mean, is that a mic drop quote or what?

00:30:04.040 It is.

00:30:04.600 Well, call me old fashioned.

00:30:06.440 The other one, which might be even shorter, is truth is like a line.

00:30:10.920 It needs not defending.

00:30:12.260 Let it loose and it'll defend itself. 0.86

00:30:14.400 But that's that's damn good.

00:30:16.460 And by the way, the I didn't get your book. 0.70

00:30:18.340 I bought that.

00:30:18.780 I got it on Audible because I only listen to the book.

00:30:22.000 Oh, right.

00:30:22.620 I've said this a number of times.

00:30:23.680 Then the new one, Suicidal Empathy, you're going to do the voice for the audio book.

00:30:28.260 Oh, thank you for asking this.

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

00:31:04.000 the right to self-narrate it.

00:31:05.900 So at least I've done that.

00:31:06.900 Now, I can't promise that they'll go with it, but at least it is included as a clause

00:31:12.040 in the contract.

00:31:12.880 It must be.

00:31:13.600 You have a unique voice.

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?

00:31:31.580 Uh, regrettably.

00:31:32.620 Yes.

00:31:33.500 Uh, I, every time I have a Canadian on, I feel like, is it, is everything as bad up there 1.00

00:31:38.160 as we think it is the anti-Trump nonsense in Montreal, in Canada, it's as bad as it looks

00:31:44.580 like on social media.

00:31:45.440 We're not just seeing the filter up effects of it.

00:31:47.120 It's worse.

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?

00:32:07.140 Because he's a globalist.

00:32:08.200 And he turned Canadians into being patriotic again by banding them together against mean,

00:32:15.680 nasty United States and Trump. 0.98

00:32:17.920 So he managed to make Canadians patriotic. 0.99

00:32:22.180 But now here's the bad part.

00:32:24.220 Okay.

00:32:24.360 I mean, there's nothing wrong with being patriotic.

00:32:26.360 Here's the bad part.

00:32:28.220 Typical interaction I have with fans who come up to me on the street.

00:32:33.280 Let's say in my neighborhood.

00:32:36.060 Oh, Dr. Saad, I'm such a massive fan.

00:32:38.580 I love everything you stand for.

00:32:40.120 I love everything about you.

00:32:41.580 Everything.

00:32:42.340 Thank you so much for your work.

00:32:44.500 My answer.

00:32:45.220 Thank you.

00:32:45.580 That's very, very kind.

00:32:46.720 Thank you for the kind words.

00:32:48.000 Do you mind if I ask who you're going to be voting for in the next federal election?

00:32:51.420 Oh, I'm voting.

00:32:52.540 I'm voting.

00:32:53.180 I'm voting for liberals, Professor Saad.

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. 1.00

00:33:16.320 What's driving me nuts is that people are stupid enough. 1.00

00:33:21.240 And I'm being mean to liberals, I guess. 1.00

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. 1.00

00:33:30.380 Now, it's not to say that I would endorse Pierre Poilievre because I don't and won't. 1.00

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. 0.98

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. 1.00

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. 0.97

00:34:03.620 And he is the successful globalist whore that Justin Trudeau is aspiring to be. 1.00

00:34:08.600 You have to be an idiot to vote for the liberals, period. 1.00

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. 1.00

00:34:19.240 I'm I'm despaired.

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.

00:34:53.400 Beautiful analysis.

00:34:54.320 I couldn't agree more.

00:34:55.860 I mean, think about it.

00:34:57.160 You're upset.

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?

00:35:24.620 I scratch your back, you scratch mine. 0.98

00:35:26.480 I mean, what do you see with primates?

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.

00:36:17.780 How is that?

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?

00:36:35.420 Now, here's the problem.

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.

00:37:07.180 No, it's more than half.

00:37:08.660 It's much more than half. 0.99

00:37:10.220 I get, well, what's the big, why are you such a, you know, a pig? 0.99

00:37:14.120 Why are you so greedy? 1.00

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.

00:37:35.980 And so I hear you.

00:37:37.860 It's completely insane.

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. 1.00

00:38:24.160 But you have to be stupid to finance your abusers if you have the option. 1.00

00:38:29.220 Again, not, sorry, go ahead, finish your point. 1.00

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.

00:39:22.220 By the way, you said it's 50%.

00:39:23.760 It actually is not, right?

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.

00:39:35.640 Now, remember that.

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.

00:39:51.800 Any taxation is painful.

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?

00:40:08.920 Now, hold on, we're not finished.

00:40:11.480 Now, I'm left with 42%.

00:40:13.240 Now, you'd say, you know what?

00:40:15.780 The government has taken enough.

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.

00:40:26.320 You taxed me more and more.

00:40:28.460 Now, you'd say, okay, maybe you feel a sense of shame.

00:40:31.060 No more.

00:40:32.040 No, no, no.

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.

00:40:43.820 But it doesn't end there.

00:40:45.780 Then you tax me carbon tax.

00:40:47.520 Yes, Carney's trying to remove it.

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?

00:41:11.480 How come I was such a successful author?

00:41:14.100 How come I can't retire?

00:41:15.600 How come I don't have any 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.

00:41:27.620 It is enraging.

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.

00:41:43.080 It's criminal, period.

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.

00:41:51.480 Then you've got 15% sales tax.

00:41:52.860 And you say property tax, mutation tax, hidden taxes, license fee renewal, passport renewal.

00:41:59.280 It's endless chipping away.

00:42:01.740 And then they go and what do they do with it?

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. 0.87

00:42:14.540 The idea, the hypocrisy that drives me nuts.

00:42:18.720 Paul Yev comes out and says, I'm standing up for Canadians, so we're going to impose retaliatory tariffs. 0.54

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. 0.98

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?

00:43:18.060 Quote, selfish, you know, interests, 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.

00:44:14.080 My dad has a visiting professorship there.

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. 1.00

00:44:31.720 But, you know, you're just a moronic child. 0.99

00:44:34.100 That might explain why you're aping your dad's favorite position towards the United States. 1.00

00:44:39.200 It's maddening.

00:44:40.160 No, that pisses me right off beyond the point of no return.

00:44:44.220 Were you present with the doctor?

00:44:45.900 I wasn't.

00:44:46.880 I wasn't.

00:44:47.580 Because it would have been bad either way.

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.

00:45:20.320 People, they've lost their ever-loving minds.

00:45:22.100 And I don't know how you come back from it, but I don't know where it stops.

00:45:26.540 I mean, where does Canada go from here?

00:45:29.620 Yeah, I really don't know.

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.

00:45:56.580 They're back on that plane. 0.99

00:45:58.140 I don't give a shit what papers they have. 0.99

00:46:00.000 I mean, there is such a thing as being seditious, right? 0.99

00:46:03.120 I mean, that word does exist, 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.

00:46:48.560 I've never seen this.

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.

00:47:04.720 It happened over two decades.

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.

00:47:27.620 It's the Black Hatter Jewish neighborhood. 0.71

00:47:29.880 Exactly.

00:47:30.420 It's the Black Hatters. 1.00

00:47:31.460 It's Orthodox Jews. 0.66

00:47:32.460 Now, they are restricted to a very, very small area, and that's fine.

00:47:36.960 That's great.

00:47:37.660 Live and let live.

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? 1.00

00:47:50.340 Well, I could also say, you know what?

00:47:52.200 I never signed up to be in an ultra-Orthodox society. 1.00

00:47:55.420 So, I don't need to hear the bullshit from people, oh, but you're Islamophobic. 0.99

00:48:00.520 First of all, there is no such thing as Islamophobia. 0.99

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.

00:48:12.640 And now, I can't escape it, right?

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. 0.88

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.

00:49:45.080 I never really understood what it meant.

00:49:46.640 And now all of a sudden...

00:49:47.280 I have all this in suicidal empathy, by the way.

00:49:48.800 Go ahead.

00:49:49.120 Yeah, everybody...

00:49:50.040 I mean, it's...

00:49:51.080 Oh, suicidal empathy. 0.98

00:49:51.820 Sorry, I'm thinking of parasitic mind. 0.97

00:49:53.760 Yeah.

00:49:54.020 Everybody must read it.

00:49:55.780 The...

00:49:56.340 What was I about to say, though?

00:49:58.060 It was about the no core identity.

00:49:59.240 Oh, yes, that's right.

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.

00:50:25.740 It might have been CNN.

00:50:26.500 It's one of the propagandist rags.

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.

00:50:40.340 Yeah.

00:50:40.500 What did happen in that year?

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.

00:51:00.040 Right?

00:51:00.140 I mean, someone said it in the chat.

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.

00:51:07.040 Yeah.

00:51:07.220 I remember in 2000, when I was at McGill, it was 2001.

00:51:10.840 And I think it was Netanyahu.

00:51:12.700 I think 2002, I think.

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.

00:51:24.800 Sorry.

00:51:25.340 Go on.

00:51:26.580 Yeah.

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.

00:51:36.280 And this probably is mid-80s.

00:51:39.320 I was a very competitive soccer player.

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.

00:52:02.920 It's about a 25-hour fast, full fast, right?

00:52:06.460 No water, no food.

00:52:08.320 No brushing your teeth, people. 0.55

00:52:09.640 No brushing your teeth.

00:52:10.540 No nothing.

00:52:10.900 Now, I had a game.

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.

00:52:34.860 And so I had to go to a game.

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.

00:53:16.260 That's the cost I have to bear.

00:53:20.060 I don't impose it on others.

00:53:21.580 So look at the difference in mentality.

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.

00:53:50.400 Got it?

00:53:51.040 Any questions?

00:53:52.060 And that's what you see.

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.

00:54:07.040 Go back and see if I predicted that.

00:54:09.320 It's all a numbers game.

00:54:10.760 When there's only two or three of us, but why, God?

00:54:14.420 I'm just a poor minority.

00:54:16.340 Ya Allah, why?

00:54:17.560 Right?

00:54:18.440 You get it?

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. 1.00

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.

00:54:50.360 It was called Lower Canada College.

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 0.94

00:55:04.680 that is fundamentally Protestant of origin, I'm going to feel really stupid if it was Catholic. 0.96

00:55:08.820 It doesn't matter. 0.96

00:55:10.100 That's the way I felt.

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 1.00

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 1.00

00:55:43.460 of Muslims is an important fact to incorporate into the discussion.

00:55:48.580 It's about 125 to 1, right?

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 1.00

00:56:02.420 identity was erased. 1.00

00:56:05.320 And it turned, somebody wrote, oh, you moron. 1.00

00:56:07.860 It's the, it's the, it's a, you just shared a photo of Jewish, Jewish woman, Jewish sex. 1.00

00:56:14.340 Okay. 0.93

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 1.00

00:56:29.920 not the totality of the 10 fingers.

00:56:31.880 The number of women that have this imposed on them on Islam is all, say, in the order 0.55

00:56:37.220 of a couple of hundred million.

00:56:38.580 So then numbers matter.

00:56:40.640 Yes.

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

00:56:57.500 the scale of how much you're overweight.

00:56:59.700 But of course, for the degenerates, those kinds of nuances are lost. 1.00

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.

00:57:28.980 There's plenty of places to live.

00:57:31.780 But no, Montreal, Concordia has always been very progressive to the point of over the

00:57:37.600 top.

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

00:57:46.780 born outside of Canada.

00:57:47.940 And I don't know how you forget cohesion.

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.

00:58:08.840 I don't know how you come back from this.

00:58:10.060 I agree, but so I wrote an article a while ago, which I titled, you know, the key concept

00:58:16.680 was cultural homophily.

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.

00:58:40.660 Oh, that's the other one.

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.

00:59:15.600 That's exactly what I was going to say.

00:59:16.920 If we're looking for a short-term, uh, mating opportunity, I may be, you know, sexually introverted. 0.53

00:59:22.680 You may be sexually extroverted.

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

00:59:55.760 lives, okay?

00:59:56.660 So, why am I saying all this?

00:59:58.100 So, we know that homophily, preferring someone similar to you, happens in mate choice.

01:00:04.200 It happens in friendship networks.

01:00:06.500 It even happens in how you choose your dog.

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,

01:00:29.460 meaning that we even assort on the type.

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

01:00:43.260 be the owner.

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? 1.00

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

01:01:42.080 with Canada.

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

01:02:03.860 Jew hatred in their heart. 0.84

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?

01:02:14.100 Oh, gee, how could that have happened?

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.

01:02:24.700 What could it be?

01:02:25.980 Well, I mean, could it be because you've let in millions of people whose definitional metric

01:02:31.980 is their Jew hatred?

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

01:02:44.300 rights issues.

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 1.00

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

01:03:14.640 might be up.

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

01:03:22.140 what are your plans for how to address this?

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.

01:03:37.140 If you want to leave.

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

01:03:48.500 future is not in Canada.

01:03:49.940 It's it's people say, well, why don't you leave then?

01:03:52.140 Well, because there are other constraints.

01:03:54.500 My wife's parents live here.

01:03:56.300 My parents live here.

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

01:04:22.080 not breaking any new ground.

01:04:24.080 I've already received several offers from very, very alluring universities in the United

01:04:30.400 States.

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

01:04:41.900 here is truly numbered.

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

01:04:47.660 claiming asylum for, for meaningful purposes.

01:04:50.300 Uh, just a few, you have time for a few more questions.

01:04:53.060 Sure.

01:04:53.300 Go for it.

01:04:53.820 Okay.

01:04:54.120 Doctor, I read it or.

01:04:55.460 Oh, and I'll read it.

01:04:56.020 It says Dr.

01:04:56.520 Gadzad needs to relocate to Switzerland, like so many others to avoid being devoured by taxation

01:04:59.940 dragons.

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

01:05:15.440 economy.

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.

01:05:23.620 Have you ever had Kelsey Sharon on?

01:05:25.080 I haven't.

01:05:25.500 No.

01:05:25.740 Oh, I'll put you, I'll put you two in touch.

01:05:27.480 It's amazing.

01:05:28.060 Cause we, we talked in depth about maids and it's a topic which, you know, YouTube doesn't

01:05:32.100 at all want to, uh, let flourish on its own.

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

01:05:53.700 to reflect their political leanings.

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

01:06:06.640 level.

01:06:07.260 Look, I, I definitely, I actually do.

01:06:09.500 I don't think it'll be a separation.

01:06:11.300 I think there, there, if this continues, and I've said this for, for decades now, uh, there

01:06:17.420 will be civil war.

01:06:19.460 Now people say, oh, come on, that's hyperbolic.

01:06:22.000 What are you talking about?

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.

01:06:35.540 Right.

01:06:35.760 I mean, it always happens.

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,

01:06:48.740 right?

01:06:48.940 Because the dynamics change and it becomes that the only auto correction has to be a muscular

01:06:55.280 one, a violent one.

01:06:56.420 And so I don't hold out big hopes.

01:06:58.380 Look, we didn't think these things would happen in all sorts of societies where the dynamics

01:07:04.380 that we're now seeing in Canada happen.

01:07:07.180 Like right in Lebanon, we lived very nicely until we didn't, right? 0.85

01:07:11.520 And why didn't we?

01:07:12.540 Well, in, in Lebanon, it used to be a majority Christian country during my lifetime, right?

01:07:18.920 60, 70% Christians.

01:07:20.640 Now it's the exact opposite, right?

01:07:23.200 And that's what happens in every society where Islam goes. 1.00

01:07:26.840 Now it might take two years to purge everybody who's not Muslim, or it might take 200 years. 1.00

01:07:32.500 But once Islam makes a sufficient incursion into a society, there is no reversal, right? 1.00

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.

01:07:53.040 Each of those societies was once 0% Muslim.

01:07:57.200 How did it turn into 99 and 100?

01:07:59.720 Well, at times it's very quick.

01:08:01.940 At other times it takes hundreds of years, but it will happen.

01:08:07.040 And I assure you, it will happen in Canada.

01:08:10.300 Maybe not in our lifetime, but it will happen.

01:08:14.680 Gad, what do you have next on the...

01:08:16.200 Everybody, by the way, stay tuned.

01:08:17.440 I'm going to stick on.

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?

01:08:24.260 Well, tomorrow I'm appearing on...

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.

01:08:46.420 So I'll be appearing on his show tomorrow.

01:08:48.220 I'm also appearing on...

01:08:50.860 Will Cain now has a 4 o'clock show that replaced Cavuto.

01:08:56.980 On Fox, I'll be appearing on his show.

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...

01:09:16.740 Excellent.

01:09:17.360 Now, when I'm done with this, I'm going to put up all your links, Gad.

01:09:20.340 And everybody can go find the...

01:09:21.740 Well, they know who you are to find you. 0.97

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.

01:09:33.100 It's...

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.

01:09:56.900 I'm going to ask...

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.

01:10:06.280 Gad, thank you.

01:10:07.080 Please come back on again whenever you can.

01:10:08.900 And I may not meet you in Montreal.

01:10:10.640 You'll come and meet me in Florida.

01:10:12.340 From your lips to God's ear.

01:10:13.560 Thank you so much.

01:10:14.140 All right.

01:10:14.540 Have a good one.

01:10:15.520 You too.

01:10:16.600 That was amazing, people.

01:10:17.620 Hey, Encryptus, can we pull up the Google trend on parasitic mind?

01:10:21.440 Not parasitic mind, on suicidal empathy.

01:10:23.880 So my joke...

01:10:24.940 Go for it, sir.

01:10:28.900 Just sit on it.

01:10:30.060 Okay, awesome.

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. 0.99

01:10:41.740 We're like, I'm going to kill you because of the righteousness.

01:10:44.640 But I'm like, oh, that's just what it was always like before. 0.79

01:10:48.040 Gad is amazing, people.

01:10:49.180 So, uh, thoroughly, unequivocally amazing.

01:10:54.260 Now, let me see.

01:10:54.740 I didn't get all of the rumble rants this way, but because I see King of Biltong in the house and Gad said, look at this beautiful picture.

01:11:01.300 I know this.

01:11:02.340 He must be particularly happy with this photograph that exists on the internet.
