Gad Saad on Suicidal Empathy, Fleeing Montreal for U.S.

Gad Saad discusses the concept of "suicidal empathy," a term he uses to describe a tendency to over-identify with others' pain to the detriment of one's own well-being. He argues that some political ideologies foster this over-empathy, which he links to declining Western values and mental health. Saad notes that he's relocating from Montreal to the U.S., possibly influenced by his admiration for President Trump, who he sees as less inclined towards this "suicidal empathy." This shift suggests a broader cultural and political realignment, impacting the discourse around empathy, mental health, and national identity.
