Why Empathy Can Become Dangerous: Dr. Gad Saad Explains | DSH #1638

And then one day you close your eyes and you open your eyes and they become 100% Islamic.

Digital Social Hour
Why Empathy Can Become Dangerous: Dr. Gad Saad Explains | DSH #1638

How does that happen?

Digital Social Hour
Why Empathy Can Become Dangerous: Dr. Gad Saad Explains | DSH #1638

Is it by magic?

Digital Social Hour
Why Empathy Can Become Dangerous: Dr. Gad Saad Explains | DSH #1638

Is it by Socratic dialogue?
