| Really critical, and both my producer and I have already decided we're going to read it. | |
| I've skimmed it, but now I'm going to read it. | |
| The Parasitic Mind. | |
| This is such an interesting way of looking at it. | |
| When I was on, last year, I was on Bill Maher's program, Politically Incorrect. | |
| And I, he's at real time with Bill Maher, yeah. | |
| And he... | |
| I was talking to the rest of the panel about how much Donald Trump lies, and I said, well, you know, it doesn't compare to the lies that permeate the society from the left. | |
| Exactly. | |
| Oh, thank you. | |
| Wow. | |
| God, you are a kindred spirit. | |
| Can I interrupt you? | |
| Sure, please. | |
| Yes. | |
| Right. | |
| I often get tons of people writing to me angrily and saying, well, Dr. Saad, how come you spend all of your time criticizing the left and not the right? | |
| And then I tell them, well, I inhabit the world, the ecosystem of academia. | |
| All of the idiotic and imbecilic ideas that, you know, are contrary to reality stem from leftist professors. | |
| So the fact that I don't spend any time, you know, critiquing the right doesn't mean that they don't have some ideas that are worthy of criticism, but that's because in the same way that a dermatologist doesn't try to solve diabetes, I'm a dermatologist, so I deal with skin disorders. | |
| That doesn't mean that diabetes is not important. | |
| So the reality is all of the dumb, destructive ideas that have gripped the West almost singularly come originally from leftist professors. | |
| So why should I be equally attacking both ideas? | |
| I don't have to do that, right? | |
| Yes. | |
| Well, anyway, they're not equally absurd. | |
| I don't know what absurdity comes from right-wing intelligentsia. | |
| In any way, in any way equivalent, symmetrically equivalent to left-wing intelligentsia. | |
| So I gave as an example on the show, and I'm sure this resonates with you, and I'd like to ask you how this happens. | |
| This is the key question. | |
| Why is it happening? | |
| So I said, here's another example of a left-wing lie. | |
| Men menstruate. | |
| And Bill Maher and all of them just... | |
| Laugh themselves silly. | |
| Nobody says that, they said. | |
| Now, of course, everybody says it. | |
| So how is it possible that people... | |
| So I don't know if you... | |
| Go on. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| I don't know if you're aware of this, but in 2017, I was summoned to the Canadian Senate because the Canadian Senate was debating a bill that has since passed called Bill C-16. | |
| Which sought to incorporate gender identity and gender expression under the rubric of hate, you know, hate crimes. | |
| And I was brought on as an evolutionary psychologist and as someone who studies sex differences scientifically to actually argue that, no, no, trust me, there really is such a thing as male and female. | |
| And when I did that, one of the liberal senators with great, you know, sophistry and indignation said, you are pro-genocide, sir. | |
| And then to which I answered, you know, you might want to be careful accusing someone who escaped execution in Lebanon of being pro-genocide. | |
| But this is the level of lunacy that we've reached, Dennis. | |
| I missed that, though. | |
| I have to say, so let me just repeat for me and my listeners. | |
| You testified, was it in the Canadian Parliament? | |
| Where was it? | |
| It was in the Canadian Parliament and the Canadian Senate branch. | |
| Okay, right. | |
| Jordan Peterson and I did that. | |
| Right. | |
| And Jordan Peterson, by the way, for my listeners' edification, gave a beautiful blurb for the book. | |
| Professor Saad was completely uninterested in my giving him a blurb, but nevertheless, I'm still having him on. | |
| By the way, I am going to correct the fact that I don't follow you, and I trust that you will be extending me the same courtesy on Twitter. | |
| Maybe. | |
| Maybe. | |
| Okay. | |
| If it goes well, maybe I'll get a follow. | |
| I'll tell you who will, in all seriousness, my wife is a Twitter aficionado, and she will be, she probably already signed up as a follower of yours. | |
| So anyway, I want to understand what happened. | |
| You said, and I want everybody to understand this, a professor of evolutionary biology, psychology, says, psychology, right. | |
| Says in the Canadian Parliament in the year 2017 that men and women, what is it, exist? | |
| What was the word you used? | |
| That there is such a thing as male and female. | |
| That there is such a thing as male and female. |
