Gad Saad is a Lebanese-Canadian evolutionary behavioral scientist, professor, author, and public intellectual. Born in Beirut, Lebanon, to a Jewish family, he fled the Lebanese Civil War, an experience that significantly shaped his views on the importance of freedom and rationality. He holds multiple degrees, including a Ph.D. in Marketing from Cornell University, and is a tenured Professor of Marketing at Concordia University in Montreal, where he held the Research Chair in Evolutionary Behavioural Sciences and Darwinian Consumption. Dr. Saad applies principles of evolutionary psychology to understand a wide range of human behaviors, including consumer choices, decision-making, and societal trends. He is the author of several books, including "The Consuming Instinct" and the bestselling "The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Destroying Common Sense." Through his popular YouTube channel, "The Saad Truth," and his podcast, he engages in outspoken commentary on current events, critiquing postmodernism, identity politics, political correctness, cancel culture, and various social issues. Known for his direct, often satirical style and unwavering defense of free speech, Saad has become a prominent voice in the public discourse, frequently appearing on other major platforms and podcasts hosted by figures such as Joe Rogan, Dave Rubin, and Jordan Peterson. He challenges what he perceives as academic cowardice and intellectual conformity, advocating for reason, evidence-based thinking, and robust debate.
