Hi everybody this is Scott Sad today I wanted to spend a few minutes reading for you a

message that I received a few days ago I won't read the name of the person who sent

it and I'm reading this message that is really

lovely not because I'm trying to to toot my horn but rather to hopefully convince you that you

need to find your courage you need to find your voice you need to find

your spine to speak out against dreadful ideas. Different people have different

abilities they have different platforms,

they have different means by which they can express themselves,

but we all have a voice, we all have some sphere of influence from which we can affect change.

And so I implore you to speak out and fight against the truly

dreadful parasitic ideas that are taking over every nook and cranny of our societies.

So here we go.

This is the title of the message.

I received this by the way as a private message on LinkedIn. So the title is Conspicuous Gallantry and Intrepidity at the

risk of life above and beyond the call of duty. High Dr. Sad. And then the the person writes lengthy note alert.

First please receive my deepest gratitude for having the courage to fight the enemy of our time,

idea pathogens and the patients to educate the silent majority without despairing at how

slow we are picking it up.

I had a reflection this morning listening to one of your podcast episodes and I thought I'd share it with you.

In the military, the highest ranking honor for courage is the Medal of Honor in the U.S.

This medal is awarded for quote conspicuous gallantry and

intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty close quote.
