The Salem Center is proud to present a special event celebrating the launch of Gad Saad’s newest book, Suicidal Empathy. What happens when a society elevates victimhood to a virtue and decides that punishment is cruel? You get the disease Dr. Gad Saad calls suicidal empathy. And the West may be terminally infected. The bestselling author of The Parasitic Mind will explain why empathy in politics leads to civilizational collapse and what we can do to stop it.
Dr. Gad Saad is currently a scholar at the Declaration of Independence Center for the Study of American Freedom at the University of Mississippi. His Psychology Today blog (Homo Consumericus) and YouTube channel (THE SAAD TRUTH) have garnered over 50 million total views. His podcast, The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad, which is available on all leading podcast platforms, has yielded over 12 million downloads.
“Western civilization is doomed, unless the core weakness of suicidal empathy is recognized and actions are taken that are hard but necessary for survival. Gad Saad articulates this well. All of Gad’s books, including this one, are great.” — Elon Musk
