People often ask me "What can I do to help?" Well, you could purchase a few copies of Suicidal Empathy, and gift these to people who need the mind vaccine. You can do so here: amazon.com/dp/0063446537/…


"Suicidal empathy" is the idea that too much misdirected kindness can kill a civilization. The term comes from Gad Saad's new book that currently sits at the No. 1 spot on the New York Times Bestseller list. He explains it through a parasite and its host: a wood cricket naturally abhors water, but when hijacked by a brain hairworm, it happily jumps in and drowns. The hairworm needs the cricket dead to complete its reproductive cycle. Once it controls both the cricket's thinking and its instincts, it owns it completely. Saad argues the same thing happens to societies. First your rational thinking gets hijacked, then your emotional system. When both are gone, so is your survival instinct. @elonmusk has called it a threat that will "end civilization." The core question: at what point does kindness stop being a virtue and start being a vulnerability? Source: @GadSaad, Joe Rogan Experience





I have not seen anybody talking about what’s going on in Canada right now. This man was pulled over and told by police that he had to come with them because a psychiatrist labeled him “certifiable.” No paperwork, no rule of law, just a doctor saying that if he didn’t come with him right then and there that he would be arrested. The fact that a government could do this is terrifying.
