Dr. Sadd, it's great to be with you here in Montreal.

Hi, I'm so excited to be with you. Thank you.

Your home territory. And last time we spoke was actually on Zoom. It was actually the day Trump came back into office. Is it? It was, yeah, yeah. So there were two great things to prejoice over, talking to you and Trump's victory. victory. Exactly. And I think we also talked about

what happened after Trudeau. And you said, anything would be better even a lobotomized turtle.

That sounds like me. Is this better? I mean, only in the sense that he just irks me less,

Carney, but in terms of his policies, it's probably not that much better.

Yeah, so here's hoping for the lobotomized turtle next time.

Now, the book, you've got the new book, which we all know the title of, so well,

because it's become kind of part of everyday speech in our circles.

Right. But that's due out, like now in a few weeks, right?

It's out in exactly a month on May 12th, so go out and pre-order it.

Suicidal empathy.

Suicidal empathy and then the subtitle, dying to be kind.

And it's literally what is happening, right?

That's exactly what's happening.

So just to kind of give you a 30,000 view, in the pharacitic mind, which is one of my earlier ghosts, I talk about what happens to human beings when their cognitive system is peresipized. Cognic system is a fancy way of saying their thought processes. But for me to completely hijack your ability to reason, I have to peresitize both your

cognitive and your affective system, your emotional system. So this book completes the story by

showing us what happens when I can take hold of your empathy module and completely hijack it in a way

that you start caring more about Guatemalan gang members more than we do

about American vets, that you care more about homeless people than about the children who should

be playing in parks, that you care more about the 183 tons bellin than you care about their

victims.
