Comments on THE Interview

Thanks very much Khalid. Regarding obtaining a copy of Jeremy Griffith’s definitive book FREEDOM, please see response to ‘Daniel’ below.

    We are aware of the 2024 study, led by Boston University’s Dr Maud Mouginot, about bonobo aggression. If you look at our FAQ 5.2 titled 'How did we humans acquire our all-loving, unconditionally selfless moral conscience?/ What do the nurtured and cooperative bonobos tell us about our own evolutionary heritage? / How do you account for reports that bonobos hunt and kill, and even that male bonobos are more aggressive than chimpanzee males?’ you will see that report is analysed, and it is explained that, “the types of aggression counted were often mild…[and]…there is a world of difference between bonobo and chimpanzee ‘aggression’: male chimpanzees use violence to coerce females into sex, regularly kill competing males, practice infanticide and form troops that raid and kill members of neighbouring chimpanzee groups; whereas in bonobo society, females rule and choose their mates, males bicker but have never killed another bonobo, and whole groups mingle peacefully with neighbouring groups.”     With regard to Jesus, while Christianity and other religions contain all manner of truths about human life they are coming 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 Griffith presents.

Thanks Daniel. You can immediately access a copy on our homepage HumanCondition.com! You will see an image of FREEDOM with the text ‘Free Copy’ so click on that to access your free electronic copy to read, listen to or download. You can also download free Kindle versions from Amazon. If you are particularly after a hardcopy of Jeremy Griffith’s books they are available to purchase from Amazon and other good bookstores.

Yes, this represents a huge paradigm shift in our thinking, so everybody needs to take their time, and let their minds absorb what is being presented. We’d especially recommend you join our Facebook Group as there is so much helpful discussion taking place there about how this immensely redeeming and relieving knowledge transforms our lives! We also recommend subscribing to our free weekly ‘Freedom Essay’ emails, which present the contents of Jeremy’s definitive book FREEDOM in easy to digest bite size chunks.

You might be interested in Jeremy Griffith’s book Therapy for the human condition, which explains how having the biological explanation of our essential goodness allows real therapy to now happen. As the distinguished psychiatrist Professor Harry Prosen (who wrote the Introduction to Jeremy’s definitive book FREEDOM) said: “What Griffith is presenting is understanding of the source insecurity that the whole human race suffers from for having destroyed our species’ innocent soul. It is a universal self-blame that his understanding at last provides healing insight into. All human behavior is saturated with that universal insecure, depressing state and resulting anger, egocentricity and alienation that has developed from it, but we finally have the compassionate foundation insight needed to dismantle all that ‘upset’/psychosis. So the real psychotherapy of our collective and individual psychoses can begin”.

We are assuming your comment is one of scepticism Charles, which is absolutely fine. As FAQ 1.9 ‘Should people be sceptical’ explains, the astonishing claims made about Jeremy Griffith’s breakthrough explanation, such as it is the insight that will ‘solve the human condition and save the world’, do warrant initial extreme scepticism, but the amazing fact is that they all withstand scrutiny. A person can begin watching THE Interview and the more they absorb it the more they will realise the claims, that initially appeared “unbelievable”, are actually true, and in time become appreciated for their forthright honesty in indicating where the solution to our problems lies.

Loved the interview!!!

While Buddhism (and other religions) contains 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 in THE Interview and his book FREEDOM. We suggest FAQ 1.13 ‘Is this original or new?’ which explains the unique significance of Jeremy Griffith’s work.

Listening to it several times think I’ve got it.

    Yes, it was an evolutionary leap Jill; we can now understand that when the fully conscious mind emerged it wasn’t enough for it to be orientated by instincts (despite the wonderfully ‘united’ life that we enjoyed while we were led by our all-loving insincts in the ‘Garden of Eden’), it had to find understanding to operate effectively and fulfil its great potential to manage life. The conscious mind is an insightful system which works by associating information, and in order to find those insights it has to experiment with different behaviours.     With regard to your suggestion that the ‘tree’ does not represent ‘knowledge’ generally, but “split knowledge”, as Jeremy Griffith explains, in searching for knowledge our conscious mind came into conflict with our instincts, which in-effect criticised the search for knowledge causing this “split” between our defiant intellect and the ‘unified’ world of our loving instincts. As Jeremy quotes in chapter 3:2 of his definitive book FREEDOM, Nicolai Berdyaev wrote in his 1931 book, The Destiny of Man, “Particularly bitter is moral knowledge, the knowledge of good and evil. But the bitterness is due to the fallen state of the world…Moral knowledge is the most bitter and the most fearless of all for in it sin and evil are revealed to us along with the meaning and value of life. There is a deadly pain in the very distinction of good and evil, of the valuable and the worthless.” (pp.14-16)     Again, we suggest that the meaning of the the metaphor of eating the fruit from “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil” is that we became conscious, and had to search for knowledge, with the ultimate knowledge being knowledge of our ‘good and evil’ afflicted condition. As Richard Heinberg wrote in the quote included in THE Interview: “Every religion begins with the recognition that human consciousness has been separated from the divine Source, that a former sense of oneness…has been lost…everywhere in religion and myth there is an acknowledgment that we have departed from an original…innocence…the cause of the Fall is described variously as disobedience, as the eating of a forbidden fruit, and as spiritual amnesia [alienation].”

It’s incredible, so exciting

Great to have your interest Dave and there is a lot to take in as what is being introduced is a new scientific paradigm based on confronting rather than the historic practice of avoiding the issue of the human condition. But, as Part 4 of THE Interview and our FAQ 1.40 ‘How can you hope to transform the world?’ explain, while the world is fast approaching a point of no return, this understanding will turn things around incredibly quickly, because it explains and solves the underlying cause of all our selfishness, anger and egocentricity. We can now understand humans have loving, cooperative instincts and clash broke out between these instincts and our emerging consciousness, the result of which is that we unavoidably became psychologically upset angry, egocentric and alienated sufferers of the human condition. However, with explanation of the human condition and why we had to challenge our cooperative instincts, all that upset behaviour and suffering in humans can now subside and heal. As Jeremy says in Part 4 “So finding understanding of the human condition brings to an end the insecure, upset, artificial-reinforcement-dependent angry, egocentric and alienated world. A new human-condition-resolved, cooperative, selfless and loving world now emerges. Light comes streaming into the dark cave-like world of denial that we have been living in, and it will all be like waking up from a nightmare!” We suggest you explore our Transformation page and also FAQs 1.4 to 1.6 explain the far-reaching practical application of this understanding. You may also find our reply to jelly joober below helpful to read.

    Key to what is being presented is that we are not being asked to ‘throw away aour aggressive and egocentric part of ourselves’; no, it is about removing the need for that behaviour. At last we can understand we have 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 at last we have the first principle-based science which liberates us to be honest about our conflicted upset state instead of denying or transcending it.     With regard to everybody embracing this understanding, you may find our FAQ 1.40 helpful titled ‘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?’. 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.

We appreciate your interest Warrell, however it is important to recognise the huge difference between what we are presenting and ‘A Course in Miracles’ (of which Williamson’s book is an adjunct). You may find this comment in FAQ 6.5 by subscriber Lesley Davies helpful. Lesley said: “I can now see why A Course in Miracles didn’t work for me. I completed the 365 day course three years running to try and heal myself from deep depression and anxiety. After reading [Freedom] Essay 15 and studying Freedom it becomes clear that without the explanation of WHY we are so upset ACIM can only act as a sticky plaster with the ’scream’ still going on underneath.”

No, understanding the human condition in yourself and in other people doesn’t turn you into a defenceless lamb. Certainly knowing that the human condition has finally been solved and the ego championed means that we can now go to work for humanity rather than for ourselves, but understanding the human condition gives you extraordinary insight into what is motivating everyone that previously we have just blindly been a party to or a victim of. And so this means that we are empowered in any situation because we can understand it, which means for the first time we are in a position to properly manage situations, and so people who take up this information aren’t going to be taken advantage of at all.

Thanks Alistair, its great that you are enjoying the audio version of Jeremy’s definitive book FREEDOM. Tim Macartney-Snape is getting closer to finishing his wonderful presentation having done chapters 1 through to 7, which everyone can listen to here, and is now well onto chapter 8, which we will put up as soon as you can.

It is true that all the problems we face, such as overpopulation, environmental destruction, resource depletion, the turmoil and conflict between races and countries and religions, material inequality, the mental health epidemic, polarised politics, and the drug epidemic, are symptoms of our insecure, psychologically upset condition. However, what needs to be added is that Jeremy Griffith has solved this source issue of our psychologically upset condition through finding the clarifying difference between the way the intellect and instincts work, and that is the great biological breakthrough Jeremy Griffith presents in THE Interview and his book FREEDOM.

It won’t necessarily be easy, at least at first, but ultimately humans are rational creatures, we respond to logical, accountable information, which is what is presented in THE Interview, and it is so liberating, that it will be accepted. As Jeremy explains in chapter 9.9 of his book FREEDOM: “Although this new world for humans, which the World Transformation Movement has been established to facilitate, will, as has been stated, have a slow beginning because humans initially find it difficult even taking in or ‘hearing’ discussion about the human condition, once the WTM is discovered, word of it and what it offers every human and the world will spread like wildfire.’” And so even though we haven’t yet reached the tipping point in terms of awareness of this great breakthrough, you can see from the excitement and relief in our ecstatic responses to THE Interview, we are well on our way! Also, on our homepage, you can see the rapidly growing appreciation and support for Jeremy’s work with outstanding commendations from thought leaders and WTM Centres all over the world!

Thank you Elaine, yes this redeeming understanding brings amazing relief to our psychologically upset state and real hope for the future. What is presented in THE Interview explains that the basis of all the dysfunction and destruction in the world, including power-hungry politicians, or biased and sensationalist media, are manifestations of the ‘instinct vs intellect’ conflict within each of us. So if we heal that, then all our institutions will be healed as well. We recommend our FAQ 1.40, which 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?’

    Don’t worry Patricia, we can certainly fix this! While it necessarily has a slow start, humanity’s uptake of the explanation of the human condition has a fast finish as the selflessness it liberates in people will not only quickly solve all the problems on the planet, including teaching other people about this redeeming information, but the excitement and joy it brings means everyone will want to get on board as quickly as they can (see FAQ 1.6)! As Jeremy Griffith explains in his book FREEDOM chapter 9:9: “Although this new world for humans, which the World Transformation Movement has been established to facilitate, will, as has been stated, have a slow beginning because humans initially find it difficult even taking in or ‘hearing’ discussion about the human condition, once the WTM is discovered, word of it and what it offers every human and the world will spread like wildfire.’”     Our How To Help page lists the many ways people can become involved in the World Transformation Movement and help disseminate this world-saving information. This includes joining and participating in the WTM’s Facebook Group and subscribing to our free weekly ‘Freedom Essay’ emails. We also have over 75 WTM Centres around the world so you might like to contact the one nearest to you! See our WTM Centres page for all our centres.

There is a lot to digest here Freddie, so we advise everyone to take their time and advance slowly. For example, we can now understand that our core instinctive orientation is to be loving and cooperative. However, unable to defend our non-loving, divisive behaviour, admitting our core instinctive orientation was to be loving and cooperative left us unbearably condemned, and so we employed the false excuse that we have savage instincts like other animals e.g. because “we are monkeys”. Part 1 of THE Interview begins with an exposition of this widely held idea, with Jeremy explaining, “Surely this idea that we have savage competitive and aggressive, must-reproduce-our-genes instincts cannot be the real reason for our species’ competitive and aggressive behaviour because, after all, words used to describe our human behaviour such as egocentric, arrogant, inspired, depressed, deluded, pessimistic, optimistic, artificial, hateful, cynical, mean, sadistic, immoral, brilliant, guilt-ridden, evil, psychotic, neurotic and alienated, all recognise the involvement of OUR species’ fully conscious thinking mind. They demonstrate that there is a psychological dimension to our behaviour; that we don’t suffer from a genetic-opportunism-driven ‘animal condition’, but a conscious-mind-based, psychologically troubled HUMAN CONDITION.” He goes on to explain that “What’s more, we humans have cooperative, selfless and loving moral instincts, the voice or expression of which we call our conscience—which is the complete opposite of competitive, selfish and aggressive instincts. As Charles Darwin said, ‘The moral sense…affords the best and highest distinction between man and the lower animals’” And beyond, in Part 3 of THE Interview, Jeremy explains how our ancestors did acquire our instinctive cooperative and loving moral conscience (see more on this in Freedom Essay 21).

Thanks Jeffrey. We hope you keep absorbing THE Interview, and the material on our website, but suggest that as you do you will start to appreciate the huge distinction between Jeremy Griffith’s and Eckhart Tolle’s work. While the New Age movement, and its proponents like Tolle, focus on teaching us to restrain and transcend our anger, alienation and selfish egocentricity, the obvious truth is we needed to resolve it at its source and that is the great breakthrough Jeremy’s work presents. We are thinking beings, we need brain food not brain anaesthetic; we needed answers for our conscious thinking mind, without that all else is ultimately futile. You can read more about this in FAQ 6.5 which explains the difference between the WTM and pseudo-idealistic movements (in addition to Part 4 of THE Interview).

Thanks Alexandrino. As with any new scientific breakthrough in history it will take time to gain mainstream acceptance, but 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! You may be interested in our 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?’.

Thank you for your support Madelaine. At last we can finally confront and biologically explain why we haven’t had “heart coherence and self development” and are ”broken", and truly heal them at the source. See FAQ 6.5 which stresses this huge difference between Jeremy Griffith’s work and the new age movement.

    We suggest you should slow down and look at it; the fact that the instinct vs intellect explanation is simple does not mean that it isn’t true – the explanation of the human condition unravels and makes sense of the whole seemingly impenetrable and insoluble confusion of human life from its source. Indeed, as the biologist Allan Savory recognised, “whenever there has been a major insoluble problem for mankind, the answer, when finally found, has always been very simple”.     Bipedalism emerged in the hominin clade between 6 to 7 million years ago, not 2 – well before the emergence of consciousness and the human condition. In chapter 5:5 of Jeremy Griffith’s definitive book FREEDOM it is explained how bipedalism arose as the result of the nurturing based love-indoctrination process.

Jerry, the astonishing claims being made about Jeremy Griffith’s work can 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’).

    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. However humanity’s uptake of the explanation of the human condition has a fast finish, because, as he explains in chapter 9 of his definitive book FREEDOM, once people start having the legitimate ‘change of heart’ that this information allows, the selflessness that it liberates will not only quickly solve all the problems on the planet, but the excitement and joy it brings means everyone will want to get on board as quickly as they can! For example, Jeremy writes in chapter 9:9, “Although this new world for humans, which the World Transformation Movement has been established to facilitate, will have a slow beginning because humans initially find it difficult even taking in or ‘hearing’ discussion about the human condition, once the WTM is discovered, word of it and what it offers every human and the world will spread like wildfire—as the exceptional denial-free thinking prophet 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’”.     On this point, we recommend FAQ 1.40 which 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?’

All the problems in the world that we are facing like over population, environmental devastation, genocide, terrorism, mass displacement of peoples, starvation, runaway diseases, gross inequality, ‘racial’ and gender oppression, polarised politics, rampant corruption and other crimes, drug abuse, family breakdown, and epidemic levels of obesity, chronic anxiety, depression, unhappiness and loneliness, are all symptoms of a deeper problem. We are suggesting that to truly solve the world’s problems we need to address and fix the underlying issue responsible for these problems, which is the human condition – our corrupted, psychologically upset state.

It’s great to have your interest David and your open mindset. The world is certainly in crisis, and the only way real and lasting peace can be achieved is to deal with the primary cause of all human conflict, which is us humans, our destructive behaviour—our human condition. We suggest, the more you digest this explanation, the more you realise this is exactly what Jeremy Griffith has done. As you mention Jeremy explains humans’ need for power and domination is not driven by us having ‘savage’ animal instincts but by a psychosis caused by a clash between our intellect and cooperative instincts. So we can now understand that human aggression and anger, even the most extreme expressions of it, is psychological in origin and ultimately a symptom of the human condition. We recommend you read Freedom Essay 29 ‘Can human conflict ever be bought to an end’ and also two of our FAQs. 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?’ and FAQ 1.40 ‘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?’

Yes it is an amazing breakthrough Peter, in fact it is the ultimate breakthrough we so desperately need. As our FAQ 1.6 ‘Why understanding the human condition solves everything’ explains: “All the problems we’re experiencing on this planet, aside from natural phenomenon, are caused by us humans. We are the ones who are egocentric, selfish, greedy, materialistic, fake, angry as hell. And so it’s that underlying issue — our destructively behaved, so-called human condition — that really has to be addressed and fixed if we are to solve the world’s problems. Only the psychosis-addressing-and-solving, real explanation of the human condition can stop the destruction of our world and the disintegration of society that is happening everywhere we look. And it is precisely this real psychologically redeeming, relieving and transforming explanation that biologist Jeremy Griffith has delivered in his first principle-based biological understanding of the human condition [as presented in THE Interview]... So, in a world fast going crazy from the effects of the human condition, this is the now desperately needed reconciling understanding that brings about a new world for humans FREE of the agony of the human condition. This is the understanding that ends human suffering at its source, and unites the human race.” Certainly this doesn’t mean our search for knowledge stops as Jeremy Griffith explains in paragraph 1136 of FREEDOM, being at last free of the fundamental insecurity of the human condition, it can now progress in a healthy, truthful way: ‘Of course, the search for knowledge will continue, but not from a basis of dishonest denial, and with the key piece of knowledge we needed found of the explanation of the human condition, the priority for the immediate future will be ... to take up the human-condition-reconciled Transformed Way of Living.’” The Transformed State is the selfless way of living this understanding liberates in people that will quickly solve all the problems on the planet as explained in FAQ 1.5.

Yes Pius, biologist Jeremy Griffith explains in this interview is that our selfish and competitive is not driven by savage animal instincts as it is in the animal kingdom but rather it is the result of our upset psychology or “thoughts”. In Part 3 especially Jeremy evidences this key biological distinction that humans suffer from the conscious-mind-based, psychologically troubled human condition, not the genetic-opportunism-based, animal condition. And, most importantly, as Part 4 explains a psychosis can be healed with understanding, so our psychologically upset human nature is fixable or changeable—not unchangeable, which is what it would essentially be if our competitive and aggressive nature was instinctive; if it was something that is in our genes and we were born with. At last with this redeeming understanding our psychologically troubled human condition can end so it couldn’t be a bigger breakthrough!

Hi Edwin, you can watch, listen to or read THE Interview, which is the ultimate tool for quickly understanding Jeremy Griffith’s paradigm-shifting work, at the top of our homepage HumanCondition.com where you will also see the ecstatic daily responses it is receiving!

     It’s all completely free. The work of the WTM is a scientific pursuit and was not created for profit, so all of our information and materials (including books, videos and podcasts) are provided absolutely free of charge at HumanCondition.com (no email required).     As Jeremy Griffith explains in chapters 2:4 and 2:12 of FREEDOM, human-condition-avoiding, mechanistic, reductionist, deductive science is an extremely limited and compromised form of science. As Templeton Prize-winning biologist Charles Birch, who was Jeremy’s professor of biology at Sydney University, said, ‘[mechanistic] science can’t deal with subjectivity [the issue of our psychologically distressed human condition] …what we were all taught in universities is pretty much a dead end’ and ‘Biology has not made any real advance since Darwin’. Indeed, mechanistic science is now so farcically dishonest and discredited in the public’s mind that many people have lost interest in it to the point of dismissing it as of no real use to us in terms of being able to understand and manage our behaviour! Freedom Essay/Video 14 makes this discreditation very clear.     Thankfully mechanistic science can now be replaced by human-condition-confronting-and-solving, truthful, holistic, inductive science—but of course the established, entrenched, traditional mechanistic scientific paradigm resists this massive paradigm shift. It does this by ignoring the new synthesis, as well as using such outrageously dishonest and irresponsible claims as ‘the new synthesis presents no new data’, is an ‘untestable’ and ‘non-falsifiable’ hypothesis, and is therefore not even science! As is explained in FAQ 1.10 these accusations are transparently false and nothing more than the dying tremors of an old, extremely flawed form of dishonest science that has lived way past its used-by-date and is rapidly taking humanity to extinction!     As to the veracity of Jeremy’s biological treatise, Section 5 of FAQ 1.10 outlines ‘Why it is being so strongly asserted that Jeremy Griffith’s scientific explanation of the human condition is the real explanation of the human condition’; and you can see the Praise that Jeremy’s work has received from extremely eminent scientists and thinkers in the Commendations section on the WTM’s homepage.     With regard to the suggestion Jeremy’s ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation of the human condition cannot be considered ‘scientific’ because it has not been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, as is explained above, mechanistic science resists this paradigm shift by ignoring it, and this obviously includes refusing to peer review it. This does not mean it is not science of the highest order. In FAQ 1.10 it is explained that many of the great breakthroughs in science have had to come from outside the prevailing paradigm; from so-called ‘outsiders’. Professor Harry Prosen, a former President of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, makes this point in paragraph 6 of his Introduction to Jeremy’s book FREEDOM: “In The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1970), science historian Thomas Kuhn noted that ‘revolutions are often initiated by an outsider—someone not locked into the current model, which hampers vision almost as much as blinders would’.” Professor Prosen then emphasised that nowhere is this requirement to work outside the existing paradigm more necessary than when the subject is the human condition.

Most importantly Melvin, this biological explanation of why we became psychologically upset does not excuse, condone or sanction our destructive behaviour, rather, through bringing understanding to it, it gives us the power to ameliorate and thus subside and ultimately eliminate it. What Jeremy Griffith explains in this interview is that all humans are born with all-loving moral instincts (not savage animal instincts) but now variously suffer from a psychosis due to the human condition caused by the conscious mind’s necessary search for knowledge. What is so extraordinary about this instinct vs intellect explanation is that it explains the real reason for why humans’ selfish and competitive behaviour became an unavoidable, indeed necessary, part of human life. That is why it is so powerful: it actually allows us all to reconcile the selfish madness of the world, and in ourselves, with ideality. And by explaining the very good reason why our intellect had to defy our instincts, it makes redundant our defensive behaviours of anger, egocentricity and alienation, which is what makes it totally different to pseudo idealistic demands that we all just behave cooperatively. We suggest 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?’ and FAQ 1.40 ‘How can you hope to transform the world? / Won’t the greedy and power hungry simply ignore this?’
