STUDY: SUICIDAL EMPATHY – BALANCE MUST BE RESTORED
Uncontrolled empathy can cloud judgment and enable harmful ideologies.
Gad Saad warns that “suicidal empathy,” or prioritizing emotions over facts, undermines rational decision-making.
Examples of suicidal empathy affecting society:
- Defending destructive behaviors in the name of compassion.
- Supporting policies without considering their long-term impact.
- Ignoring facts to avoid offending others.
A balance between empathy and rational thinking must be restored to foil the parasitic mind.
