After October 7th 2023, I was lost and in shock. I couldn’t comprehend the virulent antisemitism being so outwardly displayed in the streets all over the world, my own home town and even out of the mouths of the very people I thought were my own friends and allies. In my quest for knowledge and understanding of what was unfolding before me, I discovered Gad’s book The Parasitic Mind. It was a moment of true enlightenment, not only to help me first understand where this hatred was coming from, but to then be able to logically grasp what needs to be done to even start to eradicate this contagious mind virus aka extreme, Neo-Marxist, radical left, woke ideology (and to reinstate the meritocratic, democratic values and ideals that I have always held dear). I look forward to Gad’s podcasts every week as an extension of the principles he lays out in his book, and I’m patiently waiting for his next work (Suicidal Empathy) to be released very soon.
