The bestselling author of The Parasitic Mind shows why empathy in politics leads to civilizational collapse. 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. In his new book, Suicidal Empathy, Saad unleashes a blistering critique of maladaptively irrational altruism that has gripped our culture. This mind parasite hijacked the empathy module of our progressive elite, leading to a catastrophic miscalibration of moral priorities. The results are everywhere: from coddling violent criminals to protecting rapists to branding self-defense as toxic behavior. We are witnessing a civilization in rapid decline. Lunatic policies are instituted because we prioritize the feelings of ostensibly marginalized groups over The Truth, criminals over victims, and squatters over homeowners. This is not humane; it’s an active dismantling of the pillars that keep us safe and free. This crisis of empathy creates a horrifying system of inverse morality where the strong and successful are demonized, and the destructive are celebrated. Just look at the insane inversions we tolerate daily: we prefer illegal migrants over our own legal citizens and veterans, permit drug addicts to threaten children’s safety in parks, and elevate transgender 'women' above biological women in sports and safe spaces. Common sense is dying in a deluge of misguided compassion. Suicidal Empathy is your wake-up call. Stop ignoring your survival instincts in the name of political correctness. This isn't just misguided policy; it is the ultimate expression of a culture actively choosing its own demise.

There are many competing sources of propaganda in the world that are all serving different objectives. Being wise to a mistruth from one source while wholesale believing another doesn't make one wise.

#meme #memes #grownostr The ism believers will tend to get offended if you refer to their particular ism as the wrong ism, and then they'll accuse you of being ignorant and uneducated for not properly differentiating the isms. They'll also, when you point out how pointless such differentiation is, exclaim that capitalism is also an ism. You must immediately push back on this leftist attempt to frame the terms of the argument by reminding them that capitalism is merely a slur coined by Marx to refer to the free market, and the free market is the default mode of human interaction for most of human existence.

I'm back! Some of you know me by my old npub (npub1p5ryszcvdca78jdp5ewhu67zpyfz042m7nrha6mqx7a8wakrqrkqre5ksj) before I went a little crazy, nuked my nsec, and sold all my Bitcoin. Being bipolar is fun like that. Anyway.... Yes I sold out at 100k. Whatever. There's no point in stacking sats if it never translates into some sort of material benefit. I can always do it again. Yes I ended up marrying that girl. 2025 was a crazy busy year. The day after Christmas at the end of last year we were in a bad car accident. My wife was ejected from the vehicle and badly injured. She's been on bed rest for almost 4 months. I got laid off from my job two weeks after that. The company I was working for surrendered and sold all of their assets to their largest competitor. My wife has needed 24/7 home care so I haven't worked since then. I was starting to go a little stir crazy with nothing to keep me busy so recently I've started messing around with using AI to write software. I've been working on an AI powered news app, and it's getting closer to being deployment ready. I missed the vibe on nostr so I finally downloaded amethyst and created a new key pair. It beats the hell out of all that gay retarded corporate social media garbage. It's great to see that a lot of you who I used to follow are still active here! Amethyst made it easy to import all of my old follows from my old npub to this new account. Thanks for that @Vitor Pamplona ! I looked around to see if maybe I had a copy of my old nsec stashed away someplace that survived my manic rampage and didn't get deleted back at the end of 2024, but no such luck. I'll just start with a fresh clean account and go from here. This account is going to be a little more personal and real, and I'm probably also going to start working on some nostr related projects that I'll share in the coming months.
