There’s a disturbing phenomenon where people have blocked themselves from reason.
They’ve become impervious to common sense and support inane, even outright imbecile ideologies.
For example, in Kenya, we have serious issues with the education system, where skills is more important than knowledge. A push for legalization of unfruitful marital unions in LGBTQi, an extreme form of gender inclusion. We also have a crazy push for the eviction of forest dwellers in the Mau Water tower ecosystem to give way to private interest to control natural resources not thinking ahead about the consequences of such which are more oppression, lack of water, poisoning of waters and making it unreachable to many rightful citizens. This is being done under the extremist ideologies funded under carbon credits. (Tanzania, and other East African countries whose livelihoods depend on the Mau Forest are just silent as Ruto sells himself as a climate change mitigation champion). Conmanship clothed in good English phrases, delivered with confidence with a beautiful baritone voice; is let to dance, disguised, at the altar of intellectualism. Chei.
In his book, The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense, author Gad Saad tackles, such. A worldwide phenomenon of stifling reason, especially in the United States of America (US).
Imperviousness to reasoning is a scourge that has become prevalent globally.

“Read this book, strengthen your resolve, and help us all return to reason.” —JORDAN PETERSON
There’s a war against truth … and if we don’t win it, intellectual freedom will be a casualty.
The West’s commitment to freedom, reason, and true liberalism have become endangered by a series of viral forces in our society today. Renowned host of the popular YouTube show The Saad Truth, Dr. Gad Saad exposes how an epidemic of idea pathogens are spreading like a virus and killing common sense in the West.
Serving as a powerful follow-up to Jordan Peterson’s book 12 Rules for Life, Dr. Saad unpacks what is really happening in progressive safe zones, why we need to be paying more attention to these trends, and what we must do to stop the spread of dangerous thinking. A professor at Concordia University who has witnessed this troubling epidemic first-hand, Dr. Saad dissects a multitude of these concerning forces (corrupt thought patterns, belief systems, attitudes, etc.) that have given rise to a stifling political correctness in our society and how these have created serious consequences that must be remedied—before it’s too late.
