When Ideas Become Viruses
What if the greatest threat to your mind isn't external propaganda, but ideas that function like biological parasites-hijacking your reasoning, distorting your perception, and compelling you to spread them to others? This unsettling possibility sits at the heart of a provocative analysis of modern intellectual life. Drawing from personal experience fleeing religious persecution in Lebanon's civil war and decades observing academia's transformation, this perspective offers a diagnosis: certain ideologies operate exactly like parasites in nature, manipulating host behavior for their own survival. Just as Toxoplasma gondii makes mice lose their fear of cats, these mental parasites make otherwise intelligent people reject obvious truths. Whether this diagnosis resonates or repels you, understanding how ideas can function parasitically reveals something profound about our current cultural moment and the battles raging across campuses, newsrooms, and dinner tables.
