Wokeness is a mind disease but it can be beaten - Gad Saad with Brian Lilley.

If you’ve ever wondered how some self-proclaimed feminists can defend the brutal rapists of Hamas, or how people can passionately believe men can get pregnant, Gad Saad has an explanation. As an academic researcher in behavioural science, Saad has spent his career studying how perceptions and ideas can produce biological effects. He joins Brian this week to discuss how “woke” concepts like postmodernism, moral relativism and social constructionism act like pathogens on people’s minds. He explains how wokeness can spread, damaging people’s ability to think rationally, in the same way that other dangerous ideologies have warped the minds of masses in the past. And he talks about how he, and others, are working hard to save society from the disease. (Recorded August 30, 2024)

I just love how professor Saad just speaks the plain truth. No word salad just truth.

Typically, when some mid-wit says something as logically incoherent as "There is no such thing as objective truth: there is my truth and your truth", I simply say "Is that true?".

Thanks for the broadcast Brian. Gad Sadd was one of the Canadians worth listening to. I hope he will come back when change in government will bring the country back to some form of sanity.. Though it might not be in his lifetime.

Love listening to this guest. The comparison between the peacock and the Corvette is brilliant

As a woman I am more and more against this current day “Feminism”. I’m 62 yrs old and I have always done whatever I wanted to do and have NEVER been held back or even harassed in any way and neither were any of my friends. This “women are discriminated against” is bullshit!

What an incredibly brilliant mind Dr. Saad has! This is an absolutely delightful discourse 😀♥️! Thank you for this interview Brian!

Just listened to this on Prof Saad’s channel. Thank you, Brian, for having him on. Also, great interview! Thank you both.

Amazing podcast Brian. So insightful. Let’s leave a bad weekend in Vegas…in Vegas…

[trudibloski]

Very enlightening. Cultural anthropology was my major and although I haven't worked in that field, my interest remains. Mr Saad's idea that wokeness is one of the big mind viruses makes complete sense as a description to me! Now how do we treat this virus?

[mdlaura]

One of your best podcasts I have ever seen thank you

[frankspatone]

That was a such brilliant, inspiring conversation. Indeed keep fightin' the good fight, fellas; God knows we need the likes of you more than ever! 👊

[janicebeare]

That data about women being at the top of each of 20 cells in Gad's example is astounding. I am 58 and can see these changes in my lifetime

[lindaclifton]

Fabulous… eye opening… spot on interview!

[dinashufaniya]
