Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Gad Saad about the increasing challenges of speaking out in academia and society; the frustration of being ignored despite long-standing warnings about cultural and societal issues; how academia often fails to address pressing problems due to a lack of courage among tenured professors; the broader issue of societal complacency until problems become too severe to ignore; why Biden’s border crisis is so dangerous especially for ethnic and religious minorities; the challenges of being at Concordia University amidst rising anti-Semitic sentiments; the increasing hostility toward Jewish students and staff due to a growing demographic of students from cultures with endemic Jew hatred; why Concordia has been referred to as "Gaza University" for past incidents of anti-Semitic protests; what it was like growing up during the civil war in Lebanon and the hostile environment he experienced in the Middle East; how DEI is doing damage to the scientific method and rationality in academia; why applying evolutionary biology to human behavior was controversial even before the rise of woke culture; how universities can be reformed if the silent majority find their courage; how he has been forced to stand against diversity, inclusion, and equity requirements in research funding, emphasizing the need for integrity and truth in academia; and much more.
