Rob interviews Dr. Gad Saad, a marketing professor who has argued for applying evolutionary psychology to marketing and consumer behaviour. Author of multiple books including The Parasitic Mind, Dr. Gad Saad draws from his groundbreaking research and lived experience and explains how certain ideas can parasitise our minds and shape our behaviour. His blend of scientific knowledge and honesty challenges us all to examine our thought patterns and societal assumptions while offering practical strategies for maintaining clear thinking in an increasingly complex world.

Gad Saad REVEALS:

His concept of "suicidal empathy"
Why our natural capacity for compassion can become pathologically self-destructive
The revolutionary framework of "parasitic ideas," demonstrating how certain thought patterns can hijack our cognitive systems
The role of high expectations in achievement, using his own family's approach to education to illustrate how cultural values shape success patterns across generations
His analysis of institutional resilience explains why certain academic disciplines maintain stronger connections to reality
Why the tendency to internalise success and externalise failure influences both personal development and societal prejudices.
How to distinguish authentic conviction from surface-level virtue signalling

BEST MOMENTS

"The biggest threat to freedom of speech short of you living in North Korea or under ISIS, is not the institutional obstacles to freedom of speech, but the self inflicted restrictions."

"I never modulate a millimetre of what my heart and mind tells me to say, for better or worse, because based on my own code of personal conduct, if I modulate that, then I feel that I'm being fraudulent."

"Don't pursue happiness wilfully, rather pursue life with honesty, dignity, and authenticity and the downstream effects as you'll wake up and you say ‘life is good’."

"Be a honey badger. Fight for what's right."
