There is a war against the truth and if we do not win it, intellectual freedom will be the victim. The West's commitment to freedom, reason and true "liberalism" has never been more seriously threatened than today by the stifling forces of political correctness. I understand that, in some cases, it is not your place to talk about it.
The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense unmasks what it calls “pathogenic ideas.” These are not just bad ideas, they are largely irrational and can often be refuted. Many of the pathogenic ideas examined in the book are an affront to common sense and antithetical to debate. Incubated in our universities and disseminated by the tyranny of political correctness and through certain "experts", these ideas endanger our most fundamental freedoms, including freedom of thought and expression and freedom of choice in matters health.
According to Saad, the term "expert" is also subjective. Many people considered experts, intellectual leaders, and authorities would more aptly be described as activists or social justice warriors. That's why, regardless of the authenticity of a person's credentials, we do a service by asking questions. Saad encourages the unhindered use of our intelligence and reason to reveal or approximate the truth.
The danger is serious, but as Dr. Saad shows, politically correct dogmas are riddled with logical fallacies. We have powerful weapons to fight back - if we have the courage to use them.
