In 'The Parasitic Mind,' Dr. Gad Saad exposes the harmful effects of 'idea pathogens'—irrational and logically flawed ideas that are spreading through universities and enforced by the tyranny of political correctness. These ideas, Saad argues, are endangering fundamental freedoms such as freedom of thought and speech. The book is a call to action, encouraging readers to use critical thinking and courage to defend reason and intellectual freedom. Saad discusses various topics including university 'safe spaces,' gender ideology, postmodernism, and the decline of intellectual diversity in academia, all while advocating for the importance of questioning and challenging prevailing dogma[1][3][4].
In 'The Consuming Instinct', Gad Saad delves into the evolutionary roots of human consumption, explaining how our biological heritage shapes our daily choices as consumers. The book highlights how innate evolutionary forces influence the foods we eat, the gifts we give, and the products we use to attract potential mates. Saad argues that most acts of consumption can be understood through four Darwinian drives: survival (preferring high-calorie foods), reproduction (using products as sexual signals), kin selection (exchanging gifts with family members), and reciprocal altruism (offering gifts to close friends). The book is informative and entertaining, making it a fascinating read for marketing professionals, advertisers, and anyone interested in the biological basis of human behavior.
This stems from an XSpaces session that I hosted on December 12, 2024: https://x.com/GadSaad/status/1867298260958032297
I discuss morality, degeneracy, evolutionary psychology, human mating systems (polygyny and polyandry), sociosexual orientation inventory, germ contamination fears, the "don't judge" canard, militant feminism as an idea pathogen, and immediate versus delayed gratification.
Don't miss it!
