We all know how dangerous ideology can be and, yet, some of the most destructive ideas tend to be the most pervasive in society. Why is that? And, how do these parasitic ideas spread so effectively?

My guest today is evolutionary psychologist and author of The Parasitic Mind: How infectious Ideas are Killing Common Sense, Gad Saad. Today, Gad and I discuss his guiding principles: truth and freedom, what he refers to as the “Holy Trinity of Bullshit,” the dangers of post-modernism, the other deadly sin most people don’t talk about, the woke mob’s desire to eliminate culture and history, and how to use your voice against these dangerous ideologies.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

The importance of telling the hard truth
Postmodernism is a form of intellectual terrorism
The idea pathogen of social constructivism
Life is about tradeoffs
The distinction between feeling and thinking
Using the lexicographic rule in politics
Sifting through all of the information we have available
Don’t set out to offend, but be willing to offend
The more things change, the more they stay the same
Choosing what is worth pursuing
The attacks on truth are relentless
Most people lack the courage to use their voice
Walk through life like a honey badger
