šØ WHEN FEELINGS KILL COMMON SENSE
Being nice isnāt bad... until it breaks your country.
Some people care so much about everyoneās feelings, they forget about facts, safety, and their own neighbors.
This is called suicidal empathy. Basically, being so compassionate it turns self-destructive. Sounds wild, but itās real.
Gad Saad says weāre overloaded with emotion, treating every stranger like family, even criminals or enemies, because it feels good.
But feelings arenāt policies, and this kind of kindness is backfiring hard.
Take U.S. borders: in 2023, a record 2.5 million illegal crossings swamped the system.
Itās not just overcrowding. Over 15,000 non-citizens were arrested for serious crimes in one year.
Fentanyl smuggling? Also up. And guess what? Those costs hit taxpayers: $150 billion a year, enough to help veterans or disaster victims.
But sure, let's keep pretending open borders are just "nice."
Then there's the ādefund the policeā mess. Meant to help communities, it led to fewer arrests and way more murders. A 70% jump in Minneapolis alone.
The people hurt most? The same communities it claimed to protect.
Bonus chaos: in the UK, people got arrested for tweets. Thatās where feelings-over-facts leads.
DEI programs? Started with good intentions. Now theyāre breaking schools and jobs.
A Forbes study said they mostly help rich elites, not everyday people. Harvardās diversity policies even lowered team performance by 12%.
In companies, DEI training actually made bias worse. All because weāre scared to say, āLetās hire the best person.ā
It gets worse. All this empathy-for-everyone has made people stop trusting each other... down 20% since 2000.
This isnāt about being heartless. Itās about using your brain with your heart.
It's called āreasoned empathy,ā where compassion meets common sense.
Help people, yes... but stop lighting your own house on fire to keep others warm.
