The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad

Academia Selects for Careerist Cowardice (The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad_23)

“The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools.” – Thucydides [Correction: It is often wrongly attributed to Thucydides but is in fact the 1889 quote of military officer W. F. Butler.]

[Thank you to the Twitter follower who reminding me of this great quote albeit it is apparently not a quote of Thucydides.]

Note: To reiterate, the Princeton and Rutgers examples are hypothetical ones. One should never underestimate people's inability to understand a rhetorical device!

This was originally posted on May 29, 2019 on my YouTube channel as THE SAAD TRUTH_914: https://youtu.be/nk8aW389A-Q.

Get ready for some major self-flagellation using both my Belt of Self-Hate and Swatter of Self-Loathing, as I read an article on white fragility. The collective munchausen by proxy is off the charts. Article in question: https://bit.ly/2EGU5uV

At the 1:54 mark, I meant to say "Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity" (DIE) and not "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion."

Decolonize My Bookshelf (The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad_6)

This was posted earlier today (June 7, 2020) on my YouTube channel as THE SAAD TRUTH_1074: https://youtu.be/eAYGWdvltr4

Correction: At the 6:16 mark, I inadvertently stated that Maimonides was born in the Middle East. While he did live in the Middle East, he was born in Cordoba, Spain.

Note: Subsequent to posting the latter correction, I noticed that one of my viewers remarked that Saint Augustine was a Berber. I was unaware of this fact so I might not burn his book.

 

My Thoughts on the Drew Brees Situation (The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad_5)

This was posted earlier today (June 5, 2020) on my YouTube channel as THE SAAD TRUTH_1072): https://youtu.be/W81-A4TXHaU

Note: Around the 6:48 mark, when I inadvertently stated that we should support all sorts of disgusting views (I misspoke), of course, what I meant to say is that we should support the right of people to hold and espouse all sorts of disgusting views (as per the fact that I support the right of Holocaust deniers even though I'm Jewish). This is what free speech absolutism looks like. In a free society, we tolerate all sorts of moronic, false, and grotesque speech.
