Comments on THE Interview

Yes, Jeremy Griffith’s treatise explains that the longer humanity’s heroic search for knowledge has gone on, the more psychologically upset humanity became. It therefore follows that the further back in time you go, the less upset here was, ultimately leading back to an original, perfectly innocent, ‘golden age’ some 4 million years ago – an age religious scripture and philosophers such as Plato and Hesiod acknowledge, and which permeates our art and literature even to this day, such as Jean Auel’s work.

Thanks for your comment Myrna. As Jeremy Griffith explains in chapter 6:13 of FREEDOM, “now that we have found that very good reason why parents have been unable to nurture their children with anything like the unconditional love children instinctively expect and need, it is no longer necessary to deny the importance of nurturing both in the maturation of our species and in our own lives. Yes, with the arrival of understanding the terrible guilt that parents have felt for not being able to adequately nurture their offspring departs. Parents can now understand that their inability to adequately love their offspring is not their fault, but the product of the ever-accumulating levels of upset in the human race as a whole that resulted from our species’ heroic 2-million-year search for knowledge, specifically for self-knowledge, understanding of why we conscious humans are good and not bad. So yes, we can finally now admit the importance of nurturing and turn our attention back to the nurturing of our offspring—in fact, it now becomes a matter of great urgency that we do both these things.”

Yes, this understand does finally and for all time “humanize” us humans. We have had to live such ‘inhuman’ lives because that was the cost of the corrupting but necessary search for knowledge, but now that our goodness has been biologically established we no longer have to continue to try and prove ourselves, which was the source of all our selfish, egocentric and alienated behaviour, and can legitimately return to a loving and selfless way of living — this is the rapidly transforming and healing effect of being able to understand the human condition.

Importantly, what Jeremy Griffith is presenting is not a request for “divine help”, it is fundamentally an accountable, rational, scientific explanation of our human condition. While religious assurances, such as ‘God loves you’ provided comfort, they failed to explain WHY we are lovable, and it is that missing explanation that this breakthrough provides. We can now actually understand from a biological perspective that despite the horrific anger, egocentricity and alienation that searching for knowledge caused in us, we are fundamentally good. And it is that defence of our ‘dark side’, through finding the good reason that we had to defy our instincts, that brings a fundamental change to humanity because it makes all our defensive behaviours (our anger, egocentricity and alienation) redundant. We no longer need them because we have the real defense for why we had to defy our instincts.

    We suggest that the more you digest Jeremy Griffith’s ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation, the more you will realise how accountable it is in getting to the source of all humanity’s psychological upset, which in the extreme, produces people who are capable of cruelty. Of course this breakthrough explanation doesn’t condone or sanction the horrendous atrocities humans can commit rather, through bringing compassionate understanding to the source of humans’ upset behaviour, it gives us the power to ameliorate and thus subside and ultimately eliminate it, see FAQ 1.38 ‘Aren’t some people just born psychopathic, or even ‘evil’? / How does this explanation rehabilitate people capable of ‘evil’ behaviour? / Does this condone ‘evil’ behaviour?’. As the late Professor Harry Prosen, psychiatrist and former president of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, said: ‘I have no doubt Jeremy Griffith’s biological explanation of the human condition is the holy grail of insight we have sought for the psychological rehabilitation of the human race.’     You should also be interested in FAQ 1.40, which addresses the questions of ‘Aren’t the problems of the world too overwhelming to ever be fixed? / Isn’t it too late to save the world? / How can you hope to transform the world? — In particular, how are you going to change the behaviour of the rich and powerful? / How are you going to reach the bastions of power? / Won’t the greedy and power-hungry simply ignore this?’. It explains that “Even those who were most committed to defensively seeking validation through gaining power and material goods, including those entrenched in positions of power, will quickly realise how empty and obsolete that strategy is now that we have the fully accountable, psychosis-addressing-and-solving, real biological explanation of the human condition that proves our worth at the most fundamental level.”

Thank you Denise: yes, we now have hope – and even more than that, there is great excitement! With regard to the language used, the fundamental explanation and language is actually very simple, but the very nature of the human condition means explanation of it can be difficult to access initially as it has been the most terrifying of subjects to face because it is the issue of whether we are fundamentally good or bad as a species, and we have necessarily lived in almost total denial of it. This creates a degree of confusion in the mind of the reader, and we naturally blame the presentation. In time, when we have overcome this ‘deaf effect’, and come back and read or listen to the presentation, we are universally struck by just how clear and straightforward the presentation is. We suggest looking at Video/Freedom Essay 11 titled ‘The difficulty of reading FREEDOM and the solution’ where Jeremy Griffith explains this initial ‘deaf effect’ and how to overcome it, which is also summarised in FAQ 1.16.

    Hi Anthony, it’s wonderful to learn of your enthusiasm for our work! We have a helpful guide on our website for people who want to help and join the WTM which you can see here. We encourage people to subscribe to our mailing list, watch our key introductory material, read FREEDOM (Jeremy Griffith’s definitive presentation of this breakthrough understanding), and interact with us. You may also be interested in joining our Facebook Community Group.     There is not yet a WTM Centre in Nigeria, but there are numerous other Centres in Africa, the locations of which can be seen on the WTM Centres page on our website.

Thank you Grace, you have distilled a lifetime into those three little lines! For the onlooker, we would just point out that the psychological process Jeremy Griffith terms ‘Resignation’ occurs in our adolescence, and is the most significant psychological event in human life (see Freedom Essay 30 titled ‘Resignation’). It represents a horrifically hard time for virtually every adolescent as it’s when we face and wrestle deeply with the issue of not only the imperfection of the non-ideal human-condition-stricken world around us, but also of the imperfection of our own behaviour — that we too suffer from anger, selfishness, meanness and indifference to others. We become acutely ‘psychologically upset’, and normally have to ‘resign’ to a life of denial in order to cope. For their part, religions have provided humanity with incredible guidance, comfort and love under the duress of the human condition, but ultimately to resolve and liberate ourselves from our conflicted human condition our conscious brain needed to understand why when the universal ideals of life are to be loving and cooperative are we also so hateful and competitive. To do this required finding the clarifying difference between the way the intellect and instincts work, and that is the great breakthrough that biologist Jeremy Griffith has found.

    The first point to make is that being able to understand the human condition, and no longer being preoccupied with having to prove your own self-worth, puts you in a far more powerful position to properly manage circumstances, whether they be individual encounters, or geopolitcal threats such as the ones you mention.     Secondly, there is the power of this information to actually ameliorate the insecurity that is driving those driven to achieve power over others. In FAQ 1.40 ‘Aren’t the problems of the world too overwhelming to ever be fixed? / Isn’t it too late to save the world? / How can you hope to transform the world? — In particular, how are you going to change the behaviour of the rich and powerful? / How are you going to reach the bastions of power? / Won’t the greedy and power-hungry simply ignore this?’, it is explained that, “Even those who were most committed to defensively seeking validation through gaining power and material goods, including those entrenched in positions of power, will quickly realise how empty and obsolete that strategy is now that we have the fully accountable, psychosis-addressing-and-solving, real biological explanation of the human condition that proves our worth at the most fundamental level.”

This understanding presents a massive paradigm shift in our thinking, Akono, but what people discover is Jeremy Griffith’s work actually reconciles science and religion by bringing biological understanding to pre-scientific concepts. In fact, it presents the fulfilment of a time that all religions looked forward to when we could actually explain ourselves, see FAQ 6.3 ‘Does this undermine religion/God’ and FAQ 6.2 ‘What is God’. It represents the end of faith and dogma and the beginning of knowing.

Yes, your collection of phrases is a very appropriate note of thanks and appreciation. The ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation of the human coindition allows us to understand, and reconcile, everything about human life now, including culture, spirituality and religion.

Thanks Michael, please pursue that interest, you won’t be disappointed! Our homepage — HumanCondition.com — provides a wonderful road map to progress with all our key material made freely available and you can register for free, weekly emails about this immensely relieving understanding. Also our Facebook Group provides a wonderful platform for participating in, or just observing, interesting and exciting discussion with others about how we can live with this critical new science.

Yes, we have always intuitively known that despite all apperances to the contrary, we are fundamentally good. And while most people have had to block out or ‘resign’ themselves to a life of denial of our corrupted state (see Freedom Essay 30 on Resignation), some people have also held onto an awareness that we are all psychologically upset and living behind a facade. What is so significant about Jeremy’s breakthrough explanation of the human condition — which is what you are profoundly relating to — is we no longer have to be burdened by the fundamental question of whether we are good or bad because that core goodness as individuals and as a species that ‘we intuitively felt’ has been biologically established. We can understand humans’ psychological upset was the price humans had to pay for searching for knowledge and that the human story presents the greatest, most heroic story ever told.

It’s wonderful to have your interest, Denise. Yes, in Part 2 of THE Interview Jeremy Griffith explains that the story of Adam and Eve is a pre-scientific metaphor for the emergence of consciousness and its clash with our pre-established, cooperative loving instincts, resulting in humans ‘fall’ or them becoming psychologically upset or ‘sinful’. However as Jeremy stresses, we can now understand, from scientific first principles, that ‘Adam and Eve’ were ‘good’ to search for knowledge, not bad or ‘evil’. And with that redeeming answer to the human condition now found, our psychological upset (so called ‘sinful’ or ‘fallen’ state) can actually subside. You might be interested in our FAQs about religion. Our homepage — HumanCondition.com — also provides a wonderful road map to help you progress, with all our key material made freely available and, as you may have already discovered, you can register for our free weekly emails that present this immensely relieving understanding in bite-size portions. Also our Facebook Group provides a wonderful platform for participating in, or just observing, interesting and exciting discussion with others about how we can learn more about and live with this critical new science.

You won’t! However the astonishing claims being made about Jeremy Griffith’s work do warrant initial scepticism, but they can all be verified as what Jeremy presents is all first principle-based, testable, biological understanding of the human condition which has attracted the support of eminent scientists and thinkers (see our homepage and FAQ 1.9 ‘Should people be sceptical about claims’).

    Firstly, analysis of early cannibalism suggests it was a funerary practice i.e. an act of respect, not agression. Secondly, there is scarcely any evidence of cannibalism older than 15,000 years, which is extremely recent in the context of humans becoming conscious some 2 million years ago, and actually supports the contention that humans have become more psychologically upset angry, egocentric and alienated over time, not less. In fact, the whole of Jeremy Griffith’s definitive book FREEDOM evidences that we emerged from an innocent past, not a savage, ‘red in tooth and claw’ past as is commonly held. For example, the gentle and cooperative bonobos provide an extraordinary insight into our distant ancestors. The evidence for this is bonobos’ similarity to those ancestors, as well as similarities in the environment. In chapter 5:5 of FREEDOM, Jeremy includes an analysis of the hominin fossil record (particularly Ardipithecus) that evidences that on the basis of physique, intelligence, small canines, bipedality the bonobos present a very accurate model of our human ancestors; and there is also analysis from paleoanthropologists on the environment inhabited by those ancestors, demonstrating its similarity to the territory south of Congo River that the bonobos currently inhabit.     In addition there is analysis of gentleness of so-called primitive peoples, such as the San Bushmen and the Australian Aborigines, as well as evidence from mythology of a ‘golden age’ of innocence (for example, in chapter 2:7); see also evidence provided by the astonishing sensitivity to paleolithic rock painting (see chapter 8:11C); indeed, all of chapter 8), is a revealing application of the ontogeny recapitulate phylogeny principle. You might also be interested in FAQ 1.2 about why humanity has embraced the idea that we have ‘savage instincts’ derived from a savage past.     With regard to your criticism of Western culture, in Addendum 2 of his book Death by Dogma, Jeremy explains why the white, patriarchal, Judeo-Christian Western culture, like the right-wing in politics, has been one of the main targets for rejection by the pseudo idealistic, politically correct, ‘woke’, identity politics, cancel culture movement — but that it has finally delivered the explanation of the human condition that the whole world has been so desperately waiting for.     Finally, Jeremy Griffith’s work is not an idealistic plea for utopia or for everyone to just behave cooperatively, it is a biological defence of realism. THE Interview explains why imposing artificial or pseudo idealism does not work because it “stifled and oppressed the search for the understanding of our corrupted condition that was needed to actually free us from that state”. And it is that understanding of our so-called ‘good and evil’-stricken human condition that Jeremy presents. We can understand our behaviour has been driven by a deep insecurity about our fundamental goodness or worth and so now that our goodness is biologically established we no longer have to behave insecurely and selfishly and can legitimately return to a selfless way of living. ‘Legitimately’ because we have the first principle science which liberates us to be honest about our conflicted upset state instead of denying or transcending it.

Thank you Melanie – yes, what is presented is a rational, biological account of the human condition, but as you enthusiasm attests to, Jeremy Griffith’s work doesn’t contradict a belief in God or Christianity. It simply brings biological understanding to all those pre-scientific concepts. Jeremy actually considers the Bible to be a repository of extremely rare denial-free truth, containing all the truth about human life albeit from a pre-science view. in fact, what people discover is that this explanation represents the the fulfilment of a time that all the great prophets looked forward to when we could actually explain ourselves (see our FAQs about religion).

Welcome Rick! You are in for a treat because explanation of the human condition really is the long-awaited scientific breakthrough in understanding ourselves that ends human suffering at its source and unites the human race!

    Thank you for your thoughts Claus. Biologist Jeremy Griffith explains in THE Interview humans have cooperative and selfless moral instincts, the voice or expression of which we call our conscience—not competitive and selfish animal instincts. As Charles Darwin said, “The moral sense…affords the best and highest distinction between man and the lower animals”. And in Part 3 of THE Interview, Jeremy explains how our ancestors acquired our instinctive cooperative and loving moral conscience. Yes instincts are intolerant of any deviation and with the development of our consciousness or intellect (also explained in Part 3 and FAQ 5.4) to master its incredible potential to self-manage, or as you say have free will of choice, our intellect had to defy our dictatorial instincts which resulted in humans becoming angry, egocentric and alienated — the psychological upset state of our human condition. Significantly psychological upset or a psychosis can be healed with understanding, so our upset behaviour is not unchangeable or immutable – a revelation that transforms the human race to be able to live in lasting harmony!     Christianity and other religions contain all manner of truths about human life, it is all from a pre-scientific view. Ultimately we needed to find the scientific explanation for why when the universal ideals are to be loving, cooperative and selfless are we so angry, competitive and selfish. Answering this question required finding the clarifying difference between the way the intellect and instincts work, and that is the great biological breakthrough Jeremy presents. You may find our FAQs about religion of interest, for example FAQ 6.3 ‘Does this undermine religion/God’ and FAQ 6.2 ‘What is God’.

Amazing work

This information is extremely helpful and very important to all humans. I’m very happy to have found it.

Certainly there is habituation to overcome and humans do find change difficult but at last we can understand our behaviour has been driven by a deep insecurity about our fundamental goodness or worth and so now that our goodness is biologically established we no longer have to behave insecurely and selfishly and can legitimately return to a selfless way of living. ‘Legitimately’ because we have the first principle science which liberates us to be honest about our conflicted upset state instead of denying or transcending it. So instead of being focused on power, fame, fortune and glory, all our energies will be freed to truly work together on doing whatever it takes to end the suffering and save our world. How this healing is immediately open to us all is summarised in FAQ 1.5 and FAQ 1.40 addresses the questions of ‘How can you hope to transform the world? — In particular, how are you going to change the behaviour of the rich and powerful? / How are you going to reach the bastions of power? / Won’t the greedy and power-hungry simply ignore this?’ It is explained there that even those who are most committed to seeking validation through gaining power and wealth, including those entrenched in positions of power, will quickly realise how empty and obsolete that strategy is now that we have the fully accountable, psychosis-addressing-and-solving, biological explanation of the human condition that establishes our worth at the most fundamental level.

Excellent

    Yes, we are currently trapped in ‘the matrix’, living lives of denial of our psychologically upset angry, egocentric and alienated lives, an essential insight which was the basis of the science fiction film The Matrix, which is a modern version of Plato’s Cave Allegory. In chapter 6:12 of Jeremy Griffith’s definitive book FREEDOM, he writes, "I might mention here that this idea that humans have been living as prisoners in a mind-controlled state of denial of their reality, and of attacking the person who tries to liberate them from this state, forms part of our collective subconscious awareness because it periodically crops up in our mythologies. The same essential myth is found in the ancient Native American legend of The Story of Jumping Mouse, and, in more contemporary times, in the film The Truman Show. The deep resonance of the myth is also evidenced by the various science fiction films that have been based on Plato’s cave allegory, such as Dark City, City of Ember and, most notably, The Matrix."     Most importantly, this explanation does allow us to escape “the matrix”! With the redeeming explanation of our upset state there is a transforming path out of that darkness. As is explained in Part 4 of THE Interview, “everyone can immediately live free of their upset. The reason we can live free of it is that while we lacked the real defence and reinforcement of understanding of our corrupted condition, we absolutely needed the artificial defences and reinforcements of attacking any criticism of our corrupted condition, of denying and blocking it out, and of finding any positive reinforcement we could—anger, alienation and egocentricity are what sustained us—but now that we have the real defence and reinforcement of our fundamental goodness, all these artificial defences and reinforcements are obsoleted, they are no longer needed.”

At last with Jeremy Griffith’s instinct vs intellect explanation of the human condition we can understand WHY we are so destructive, greedy and oppressive. Which means we can now explain that the more innocent or sheltered ‘races’ (ethnic groups), the “Native People”, have not been as exposed to humanity’s heroic battle to find knowledge as less sheltered races, and so they aren’t as psychologically upset as those less sheltered races. So yes, more sheltered races have more affinity with our instinctive soulful, cooperative way of living and nature and are therefore not as brutal and competitive as more upset races. However, all humans are now part of the extremely upset stage of humanity, H. sapiens sapiens, and are therefore nowhere near as innocent as humans were some 2 million years ago when the battle of the human condition first emerged. Also, most significantly, despite the differing levels of upset due to everyone’s different encounters with humanity’s heroic battle to find knowledge, we are all equally good. You might like to read our FAQ 9.1 about how this understanding puts an end to racism and for a testimonial on the power of this knowledge to end racism, we recommend the presentations from Franklin Mukakanga, of Zambia, and Refentse Molosiwa, of South Africa, in Video/Freedom Essay 8.

Jeremy Griffith’s work doesn’t contradict a belief in God or Christianity, or the Bible’s content, but we suggest that what is unique about Jeremy Griffith’s work is that he has answered the essential question of why, when the universal ideals are to be integrative are we so disintegrative? Answering this question required finding the clarifying difference between the way the intellect and instincts work, and that is the great biological breakthrough Jeremy presents here. We suggest FAQ 1.13 ‘Is this original or new?’. We can now understand the battle between our intellect and our cooperative instincts caused us to become psychologically angry, alienated and egocentric, the upset state we refer to as the human condition. With that understanding all those insecure behaviours, such as greed, are obsoleted, brought to an end, and we free ourselves from that state and can legitimately return to the loving state that Jesus was advocating. We think you might find our FAQs about religion of interest, especially FAQs ‘What is God’ and ‘Does this understanding undermine religion’.

Thank you for your forthright comment Alfred. Yes, having the human condition explained does expose the truth about our upset condition, but importantly, it doesn’t condemn us, rather it compassionately explain we are ‘good’ and not ‘bad’ for taking on the corrupting search for knowledge. Indeed, the explanation of the human condition is all redeeming, reconciling and rehabilitating! Along with re-watching THE Interview, we recommend you watch or read The Great Transformation, which explains the fabulous way we deal with the personal transparency and confronting nature of the human condition. As Jeremy explains, the human condition is no longer an unbearably depressing subject as we can now bring great compassion and kindness to ourselves and others and significantly we don’t have to overly confront the upset within us. Also we recommend FAQ 1.39 ‘How are we supposed to cope with all the heretical truths brought to light by the explanation of the human condition?’

    While it takes some time to digest, we suggest that what is unique about Jeremy Griffith’s work is that he has answered the essential question of why, when the universal ideals are to be integrative are we so disintegrative? Answering this question required finding the clarifying difference between the way the intellect and instincts work, and that is the great biological breakthrough Jeremy presents here. We suggest FAQ 1.13 ‘Is this original or new?’ and Video/Freedom Essay 4 which expands further on other thinkers (both ancient and contemporary) who have recognised instinct and intellect elements involved in creating the human condition.     With regard to politics and the criticism of the left wing, we can now see that their insistence on ideal behaviour had the effect of oppressing and thus regressing, not ‘progressing’, the all-important search for knowledge - see our FAQs on politics. This does not mean that those that support the left wing aren’t fundamentally defended by the explanation of the human condition like everyone else, just that pseudo idealism was a dangerous delusion. As Jeremy explains in FAQ 4:6, we can, and must if we are to save the human race, now own both the positive and negative aspects of our condition. As he writes, “Being able to finally understand and defend our corrupted condition, understand the good reason for what used to be called our ‘badness’ or ‘evil’, enables us to own and acknowledge our corrupted condition. We can now understand that the situation is two sided; everyone is equally good, worthwhile and wonderful but everyone is variously corrupted. There is a downside with the upside that we now can acknowledge—and must acknowledge if we are to rehabilitate and save the human race from terminal alienation and extinction.”

Hi Carolyn, the very nature of the human condition means discussion of it can be initially difficult to access. As THE Interview explains this is because historically the issue of whether we are fundamentally good or bad has been the most terrifying of all subjects to face, and so we have necessarily lived in almost total denial of it, which means our minds can initially struggle to hear and absorb discussion about it. Wonderfully however, this ‘deaf effect’ can be overcome with patient perseverance and everyone can access this most wonderful of all gifts of understanding the human condition! See our FAQ 1.16 ‘Why can’t I understand this’, and Jeremy Griffith’s astonishingly revealing presentation, The Great Guilt that causes the Deaf Effect on our website.

Thanks Christopher, it’s wonderful to have your interest in this world-unifying and saving understanding of the human condition. As with any new scientific breakthrough in history it will take time to gain mainstream acceptance, and from there break through the bastions of power in the world. However, with support from those who appreciate this understanding, even though the deeper healing of humanity will take generations, the truth is that this redeeming, compassionate and healing explanation of the human condition is SO liberating and SO exciting that it won’t be long be everyone gets on board. Basically, so exciting and relieving is this breakthrough, and the freedom from the human condition that is now on offer, that everyone will want it, and so it will catch on like wildfire and this is already happening. Just read the ecstatic responses THE Interview is receiving on our homepage and scroll down to see the rapidly growing appreciation and support for the WTM with outstanding commendations from thought leaders and WTM Centres all over the world! Also FAQ 1.40 is most helpful as it answers the question ‘How can you hope to transform the world? — In particular, how are you going to change the behaviour of the rich and powerful? / How are you going to reach the bastions of power? / Won’t the greedy and power-hungry simply ignore this?’.

It’s great to have your interest Peter! To learn more jump on our homepage—HumanCondition.com—which leads you through the steps to pursue your interest after watching THE Interview! Signing up for our free weekly ‘Freedom Essay’ emails are also a great way to have questions answered and enhance your comprehension of this breakthrough explanation of the human condition. Also our Facebook Group provides a wonderful platform for participating in, or just observing, interesting and exciting discussion with others about how we can live with this critical new science.

Good on you Don! Your attitude is exactly how we ‘Fix The World’ (as the WTM banner says)! People can see our extensive How To Help page for ways in which they can get in involved and bring this all-healing, all-exciting breakthrough understanding to the world. As Jeremy Griffith writes at the top of that page, “And believe me, before long, when the realisation catches on that we have finally found the redeeming understanding of the human condition that ends our need to continue living out our old insecure, embattled, have-to-prove-we-are-good-and-not-bad lives, that everyone can now live this way in support of an all-relieving and all-unifying new world, the ecstatic freedom and utter excitement will completely sweep the world. As the philosopher Teilhard de Chardin wrote, ‘The Truth has to only appear once…​for it to be impossible for anything ever to prevent it from spreading universally and setting everything ablaze’.”

James, we recommend Jeremy Griffith’s definitive book FREEDOM, for the in depth treatment of not just our evolution, but the evolution of life and our place in it. Also, you might be particularly interested in Freedom Essay 25: The truthful biology of life.

Thank you for your comment John. We certainly respect people’s religious views however we felt it was important to mention that Jeremy Griffith’s work doesn’t contradict the Bible. It simply brings biological understanding to all those pre-scientific concepts. In fact Jeremy considers the Bible to be a repository of extremely rare denial-free truth, containing all the truth about human life albeit from a pre-science view. The real issue is if people prefer a more literal fundamentalist interpretation of scripture rather than our more biological, science-based interpretation.
