The Mind Virus Epidemic: How Bad Ideas Threaten Our Freedom

Imagine being afraid to speak your mind-not because what you want to say is cruel or false, but because it might violate some unspoken social code. This creeping sense of intellectual paralysis is spreading through Western society like a virus. In "The Parasitic Mind," evolutionary psychologist Gad Saad diagnoses our cultural illness: dangerous idea pathogens that undermine reason, science, and free expression have infected our most important institutions. As someone who escaped civil war in Lebanon only to find a different kind of ideological warfare on university campuses, Saad brings unique insights to this intellectual battlefield. With unflinching clarity and biting humor, he dissects how postmodernism, radical feminism, and identity politics have infected our institutions, and offers a prescription for reclaiming our intellectual freedom before it's too late.
