GAD SAAD | How Infectious Ideas Kill Common Sense

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.

Dr. Gad Saad

My guest today is the one and only Gad Saad. He is an evolutionary psychologist and a professor of marketing at Concordia University. He is also the author of his 4^th and latest book, The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas are Killing Common Sense .

He also has an extremely popular YouTube Channel and podcast called, The Saad Truth. And, I think you’re going to hear in this conversation why Gad is so popular. He calls it like it is and pulls no punches when it comes to speaking truth – something he refers to as his “inner honey badger.” Enjoy.

Iron Council

I’ve spent the last several weeks building out new systems and processes inside of our exclusive brotherhood, The Iron Council. All of these updates are based on the experiences of thousands of men who have banded with us over the last 6 and a half years.

These are men who have lost 30, 40, 80lbs, doubled and even tripled their income, rekindled dying relationships, started new businesses they’ve dreamt about for years, and, generally, improved every aspect of their lives.

So, if you think you can go at it alone, I wish you the best. I really do. But if you want to leverage and maximize your life results as we close out 2021 and roll into 2022, band with us inside the Iron Council.

Head to www.orderofman.com/ironcouncil to be notified when the Iron Council opens back up in the next couple of weeks. Again, head to www.orderofman.com/ironcouncil.
