 Gad Saad is a leading public intellectual who attacks the “idea pathogens” that are destroying  common sense. An impassioned advocate of reason and individualism, Dr. Saad argues: “There is no ‘black mind’ or ‘white mind,’ no ‘white male way of knowing,’ there is only one truth, and we find it through the scientific method.” His book, The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense, examines how certain destructive ideas have managed to take hold in places like education and media.

"We can also be infected by another class of what I call idea pathogens that are dreadful parasitic ideas that in a sense metaphorically are like the mouse walking up to the cat. It drives us to the abyss of infinite lunacy."
