The maxim of Hateful Schrödinger Canadians:
Canadians: F**k off to the US. We hate you. You are a far-right @elonmusk buddy. We don't need you.
After hearing this for years, I said "OK. I'm off."
Same Canadians: You piece of s**t. You are deserting us for the US. You are a traitor.

David, I am not biased. I am a humanist, and I have read this book, even his previous one The Parasitic Mind. I have seen his jubilant interviews in support of one particular country and one particular religion, especially his unhinged support for genocidal war criminals.
Saad is absolutely biased now. His earlier works were scholarly, but now its just propaganda.

@AtiqueNaqvi @GadSaad Syed, perhaps you are one of those he is calling out. From an intellectual state of mind and only if you are able, read the book without bias and prejudice. Only then you should deliver a subjective review of the content or writers abilities then provide valuable feedback.

@AtiqueNaqvi @GadSaad I'm still reading this but this book tells the absolute truth of what's happening to the declining of western civilization. Perhaps you think people are stupid but they are not, we can see with our own eyes what's going on. I can't thank Gad enough for this book.

@GadSaad @larsenphil34922 Of course! You just want to sell your latest book riding on your doomed horse of bigotry. These so-called East, West, North, South civilizational divisions that you cherry pick to sell verbosity indicates the moral, cultural and intellectual bankruptcy.

THOUGHTS & REALITY
THOUGHTS
Gad Saad's Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind drops a bold claim: Western societies are slowly being hollowed out by compassion that has lost its moral compass. He argues that institutions keep excusing bad behavior, rewarding victimhood, and shielding aggressors - all in the name of kindness. It's a striking argument. It's also too blunt an instrument.
The real problem isn't empathy. It's empathy on autopilot. Bad policy, weak enforcement, and ideological tunnel vision do the actual damage — not the fact that people feel things deeply. Saad is onto something real when he warns that feeling without thinking leads nowhere good. But jumping from that insight to a full civilizational collapse theory is a stretch.
The more honest take is this: we need both. Empathy is how we recognize that someone is suffering. Reason, law, and accountability are how we decide what to do about it. Strip out empathy and societies grow cold and indifferent. Strip out discipline and empathy turns into sentiment that bad actors can exploit.
So Saad's book reads less like a rigorous diagnosis and more like a cultural alarm bell — useful for waking people up, less useful for actually explaining what went wrong and why.
REALITY
Watch Saad's interview on YouTube titled: "ILTV’s Viewpoint: Gad Saad" published on April 24, 2025. He wrote this entire book to argue a very "Personal Point" and that point is: How people across the world moved from sympathizing with Israeli victims of October 2023 terrorist attack to sympathizing with residents/refugees of Gaza. One doesn't need to resort to intellectual diarrhea to understand why the shift happened.
Two-word answer: Excessive Response. @GadSaad @elonmusk @HarperCollins @broadsidebks #empathy #propaganda #GazaGenocide #Israel

AI infrastructure will become a military-grade priority before 2030. Do you agree, or is that overblown? #AI #Geopolitics
English

Saudi Arabia and UAE poured $100B+ into AI data centers expecting 20% of global compute by 2030. But one precision strike on power substations feeding those clusters = blackouts across banking, oil trading, defense comms. Compute isn’t "cloud" anymore, it’s rather concrete. #AI #MiddleEast #SaudiArabia #UAE
English

The next geopolitical target isn’t a pipeline. It’s the AI data center. I think we’re underestimating how fast compute is becoming a national-security asset in the Arabian/Persian Gulf and beyond. #AI #geopolitics #MiddleEast #Cybersecurity
