  • Truth Teller

    When we look back on history, it was so often the truth tellers that were despised by those that the truth deeply resonated with. We call those people “triggered” now, and I see you have a few in your reviews. Keep telling the truth the world Dr. Saad, so many of us around the world stand with you.

    By the way, thank you for making me laugh this morning. Occasional Cortex AOC is painfully accurate.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

An Evening at the Reagan Library Discussing Suicidal Empathy (The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad_1003)
Q: Can you give a practical habit for ordinary citizens to remain compassionate while thinking clearly?
Empathy should follow an inverted U-curve; it should be bounded by evolutionary logic and tailored to cases, avoiding absolute or unbounded empathy.
Discussing Suicidal Empathy at the Commonwealth Club (The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad_1005)
Q: Can you give an example of how empathy operates at the policy level?
Saad cites open borders and the consequent demographic and social implications, arguing that well-meaning empathy can have negative long-term consequences if not balanced by an evolutionary calculus of costs and benefits.
Discussing Suicidal Empathy at the Commonwealth Club (The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad_1005)
Q: How do you define Suicidal Empathy, and how is it different from ordinary empathy?
He defines Suicidal Empathy as hyperactivated, misdirected empathy that leads to detrimental downstream effects, illustrating with cases like open borders, gender policies, and homelessness.
Discussing Suicidal Empathy at the Commonwealth Club (The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad_1005)
Q: Let's start before we get into the book. Tell us a little bit why you wanted to write it.
Saad explains that the book examines how empathy evolves and can be hijacked by ideological forces; he argues that excessive empathy toward the wrong targets can erode civilizational foundations and policy outcomes.
Lionel Shriver - Author of "A Better Life" (The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad_989)
Q: Are you familiar with Darwinian Literary Criticism, and how do you see its relevance to fiction?
I think there is some sound basis to the idea that literature taps into evolved human traits and universal themes, but the application is nuanced; fiction can explore, challenge, and illustrate these tendencies without becoming a mere evolutionary primer.
