The Parasitic Mind

How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense
Book • 2020
In 'The Parasitic Mind,' Dr. Gad Saad exposes the harmful effects of 'idea pathogens'—irrational and logically flawed ideas that are spreading through universities and enforced by the tyranny of political correctness.

These ideas, Saad argues, are endangering fundamental freedoms such as freedom of thought and speech.

The book is a call to action, encouraging readers to use critical thinking and courage to defend reason and intellectual freedom.

Saad discusses various topics including university 'safe spaces,' gender ideology, postmodernism, and the decline of intellectual diversity in academia, all while advocating for the importance of questioning and challenging prevailing dogma.
