Summary
Mike Slater is joined by Gad Saad to discuss his new book and explore the idea that modern Western societies may be becoming “too nice” for their own good. Saad argues that well-intentioned kindness can be exploited and may be contributing to cultural and political imbalances. The conversation digs into how these dynamics show up in academia, media, and public policy.
