“Can the West Survive Suicidal Empathy?” with Gad Saad
Can the West Survive Suicidal Empathy?
Can empathy become a threat to the society it is meant to protect? Gad Saad discusses the concept behind his bestselling book Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind and what happens when compassion overrides reason and self-preservation. The conversation applies that framework to Israel, antisemitism, Islamism, academia, immigration, and the erosion of Western confidence and survival instincts.
Gad Saad is an evolutionary behavioral scientist, author, and Visiting Professor at the University of Mississippi. Formerly a professor at Concordia University, he is the author of The Parasitic Mind, The Saad Truth about Happiness, and the No. 1 New York Times bestseller Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind.
