Gad Saad, Ph.D. ~ The Liberty Forum ~ 6-8-2021
THE WAR AGAINST TRUTH and its threat to intellectual freedom
Featuring Gad Saad, Ph.D.
Bestselling Author of "The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense"
Do you feel like you're in a constant battle? Maybe not one with bullets literally whizzing by your head, but perhaps one in which you feel regularly under attack, vilified, condemned, afraid to speak out? Do you listen to political leaders' words and see their actions that leave you wondering what country you're in—and what has become of your America?
According to Gad Saad, Ph.D., you're not alone. There is a war against truth happening in the West, and if we don't win it, intellectual freedom will be a casualty!
Dr. Saad will discuss key features of his recent international bestselling book, The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense, including how "idea pathogens" began spawning on university campuses. You've heard of them: postmodernism, radical feminism, social constructivism, biophobia, cultural relativism, identity politics, Critical Race Theory and its offspring—a culture of perpetual victimhood and the evil twin, guilt ridden self-flagellation.
The list of such destructive ideas seems endless, and the answer as to how to win this intellectual war may seem out of sight; however, Dr. Saad also champions fundamental and non-negotiable elements of a free and enlightened society—like freedom of speech and adherence to the scientific method—and shows us ways we can vaccinate ourselves against the parasitic mind pathogens that have gripped the West.
As Jordan Peterson put it best in encouraging us to read Dr. Saad's work: " . . . strengthen your resolve, and help us all return to reason." Dr. Saad will show us as a culture how to do exactly that.
