Visiting professor and global ambassador at Northwood University, evolutionary behavioral

0:05.1

scientist and best-selling author of the parasitic mind, Gadsat is here.

0:10.2

All right.

0:10.6

Dr. Sad, let's start with the people who are attracted to this alleged murderer.

0:18.2

What motivates that?

0:20.7

So I think it's a misfiring of the attraction to the bad boy archetype. As you mentioned

0:26.5

earlier, there are some women who will wait in line to get a shot at meeting Ted Bundy or

0:32.1

A society that gets all of these factors confused is in a death spiral.

1:35.7

So thank God that Donald Trump won, because hopefully he could fix some of these problems.

1:40.2

So what sets that in motion where you're trying to tear down masculinity and heroism and you're

1:46.0

trying to elevate vigilante justice? I mean, in this case, the calculus of being attracted to
