Comments on THE Interview

In Part 3 of THE Interview Jeremy Griffith directs the audience to chapter 7 of his book FREEDOM for how we humans became fully conscious (summarised in FAQ 5.4). This process is biological and is not a product of intervention. Jeremy also explains in FREEDOM, chapter 4, the Negative-Entropy-driven integrative meaning of existence with chapter 4:3 explaining the Intelligent Design interventionist argument. It is this integration or development of order of matter on Earth that is the biological process that drives our development (summarised in FAQ 5.3). Jeremy explains in his books that indeed the word ‘development’ will come to replace the word ‘evolution’ in biology because evolution can be, and has been, misrepresented as meaning change is undirected, meaningless and random.

We appreciate your feedback Sam. Jeremy Griffith’s work isn’t political but rather it is a biological treatise about the human condition, however it is one that opens up a new way of thinking so it takes a little time to fully absorb. For example, when we understand that the search for knowledge, namely the search for understanding of our ‘good and evil’-stricken human condition, has been all-important, we can see that, paradoxically, it is the left, not the right, that poses the real threat to humanity because the left’s dogmatically imposed idealism inhibits freedom of thought and that search for understanding. Jeremy is not unfairly focusing on the failings of the left wing (indeed, in his book FREEDOM he acknowledges the importance of compassion in holding a society together) but rather explains from first principles the serious threat posed by pseudo idealism to humanity’s ultimate goal of finding understanding. We suggest you visit our FAQs about politics and Freedom Essay 35 ‘Death by Dogma: The biological reason why the Left is leading us to extinction, and the solution’.

As THE Interview explains, the human condition is the most fearful of subjects because it’s the issue of whether we are fundamentally good or bad and our fear of this interface can make it hard to understand all that is explained in one viewing. We recommend Video/Freedom Essay 1 titled ‘Your block to the most wonderful of all gifts’ as it explains this initial ‘deaf effect’ and then if you re-watch THE Interview the explanation will be far more accessible.

I’m Aliissa and hereby share your confirmation.

Yes Sir Laurens van der Post was a close friend of HRH Prince Charles and godfather to his eldest son Prince William. We are aware that people have sent Prince Charles copies of Jeremy Griffith’s books. You may be interested to read Jeremy Griffith’s Freedom Essay 51 titled ‘Sir Laurens van der Post’s great vision’.

Thank you that is amazing❤️book I like it ,at long last.

Thank you Erik. Jeremy Griffith’s work is certainly at odds with the almost universally held belief that human aggression and stress are a result of our biology. Confronting the human condition front on and explaining that humans are a psychologically upset species does take time to absorb, but I suggest that the more you do so, the more you will realise that Griffith’s explanation has at last got to the bottom of the human condition.

As Professor Prosen and many other thought leaders have recognised yes this understanding is paramount to the survival of our species. 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 our species is to survive. 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 this instinct vs intellect understanding of the human condition. See FAQ 1.6 ‘Why does understanding solves everything’.

Yes, WOW!! It is just so exciting when you realise that this really does explain everything! For those who are interested, you can read about God and negative entropy in FAQ 6.2 and the role of religion in FAQ 6.3, and you can read about left and right wing of politics in FAQ 7.1.

Jeremy Griffith explains the key biological distinction between humans and other animal species is that humans suffer from the conscious-mind-based, psychologically troubled human condition, not the genetic-opportunism-based, animal condition. While there are remnants of selfish reciprocity, sexual opportunism and aggression in bonobo behaviour as THE Interview evidences they are extraordinarily matriarchal, or female role focused, and extraordinarily nurturing, and far less aggressive than common chimpanzees. Without the defence of our own aggressive behaviour we have not been able to admit how cooperative bonobos actually are. See FAQ 5.2 ‘What do bonobos tell us about our own evolutionary heritage?’

THE Interview is about both men and women. It explains the universal psychosis all humans suffer from caused by the clash between our instinct and intellect which significantly can be healed through understanding. What is astonishing is that despite our psychologially upset condition this biological treatise estabishes all humans are equally good, worthwhile, meaningful and wonderful regardless of gender, age, religion etc. See molecular biologist Dr Anna Fitzgerald’s video commendation about how this explanation is the real liberation of women and also FAQ 8.1 ‘How does this reconcile the sexes’

THE Interview explains that a conflict between our instinct and intellect left humans with an undeserved sense of guilt and insecurity that caused us to become psychologically defensive, angry, alienated and egocentric, the upset state we refer to as the human condition. While it is true that men in particular have carried a burden of guilt about the exceptionally angry, egocentric and alienated lives they were beset with as a result of battling so determinedly and heroically against our ignorant instinctive self or soul, both men and women have suffered from the human condition. Most importantly, now we can explain and understand this conflict and the guilt this battle between instinct and intellect produced, all those insecure, defensive behaviours are obsoleted, brought to an end, and everyone frees themselves from the human condition. See FAQ 8.1 ‘How does this reconcile the sexes’.

As is mentioned in Part 3 of THE Interview recent theories such as ‘group selection’ and ‘self-domestication’ have attempted to argue that altruism or cooperation arose in our past through selection against aggression, but it is flawed biology because the reality is that any selfless behaviour will always be relentlessly selected against (see Chapters 6.8 to 6.10 of FREEDOM). No, the only way that genuine cooperation or selflessness could develop was through the nurturing based love-indoctrination process, which is introduced in Part 3 of this interview and which you can read more about in FREEDOM Chapter 5. THE Interview also explains that the real reason for our selfish state was not the rise of agriculture and ownership, but a psychosis that resulted from the clash between our instincts and intellect. Read more about false biological theories for human behaviour in Death by Dogma.

The more you absorb this understanding Mercedes the more you gain a deep appreciation for why we had to block out or ‘not listen to’ our all-loving instincts while we continued the search for knowledge. What is so extraordinary about Jeremy’s biological treatise is that it actually defends the conscious mind for becoming so alienated from our loving instinctive self. That is the great paradox of the human condition – we humans had to defy our instincts and become corrupted in self in order to find understanding of the human condition. Now with that found we can at last reconcile and heal our split selves and return to a selfless way of living, see FAQ 4.3.

Now that science has found understanding of the different ways that the gene based and the nerve based learning system works, which is that the gene-based, natural selection process only gives species instinctive orientations to the world, whereas our nerve-based, conscious mind, which is able to make sense of cause and effect, is and needs understanding of the world to operate, we can understand the human condition. Science is able to explain that the human condition was caused by our mind challenging our instincts and to solve it equired finding the clarifying difference between the way the intellect or mind and instincts work, and that is the great breakthrough that Jeremy Griffith has found (see Freedom Essay 4 on other thinkers who have recognised instinct and intellect elements involved in creating the human condition).

    J we appreciate you watching THE Interview and your comment especially given it is difficult when English isn’t one’s native language. It is true that our intstincts are loving and cooperative, and our intellect has been angry, egocentric and alienated, but with Jeremy’s explanation of the human condition we can now know that the intellect was ‘good’ to defy our instincts, because our instincts could not help but criticise the intellect’s necessary search for knowledge, and that this is the reason the intellect became angry, egocentric and alienated. With this redeeming explanation all that psychologically upset behaviour can now subside and heal and we can come ‘home’ with our instincts and intellect at last reconciled. See FAQ 1.3 ‘What is the explanation’ and FAQ 1.6 ‘Why understanding solves everything’.     Also THE Interview and our other key publication have been translated into various languages which you can see here on our homepage or under ‘The Main Videos’ there is a ‘Translations’ button.

Jeremy Griffith’s definitive book FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition is freely available on our homepage here (along with his other key books) to read online or download (no email required). You can also download the free Kindle version or purchase hard copies from Amazon. Hard copies are also available at other good bookstores.

Now that we have the redeeming explanation of our upset angry, egocentric and alienated human condition no one has to be owned by their past anymore. This is the moment of liberation that humanity has always looked forward to as is explained on our Transformation page!.

    As THE Interview explains all humans are born with loving moral instincts but we now variously suffer from a psychosis due to the human condition and, in the extreme, that psychologically conflicted upset state produces excessively egocentric psychopathic behaviour. This is explained in chapter 8 (especially ch 8:16D, see especially par. 1003) of Jeremy Griffith’s definitive book FREEDOM. Jeremy further elaborates on this need for power, control and domination in Freedom Essay 62 where he gives a full presentation of the entire heroic human journey and how understanding of the human condition now makes possible the real therapy and rehabilitation of the human race.     Of course this breakthrough explanation of our condition doesn’t condone or sanction such behaviour rather, through bringing compassionate understanding to the source of humans’ upset, it gives us the power to ameliorate and thus subside and ultimately eliminate it (see FAQ 4.2 How does this rehabilitate ‘evil’). This healing is a process but what is so transforming is we don’t have to be burdened by the fundamental question of whether we are good or bad anymore because our fundamental goodness as a species has been biologically established. That macro truth looks after all humans now. As a Neil Sullivan commented below “All that I have learned from psychoanalytic thinking and practice is supported in this interview; the psychopathology of power, greed and domination can be individually overcome through understanding of the human condition; the collective unconscious can then gradually change our activities to ones that are in harmony with one another and all living forms on the planet.”

Genes have to be selfish to reproduce, which means that unconditionally selfless cooperation cannot normally develop between one sexually reproducing individual and another. Recent theories such as ‘group selection’ and ‘self-domestication’ have attempted to get around this by arguing that genuine altruism or cooperation can arise through selection against aggression, but it is flawed biology because the reality is that any selfless behaviour will always be relentlessly selected against (see Chapters 6.8 to 6.10 of FREEDOM). No, the only way that genuine cooperation or selflessness could develop was through the nurturing based love-indoctrination process, which is introduced in Part 3 of THE Interview, and which you can read more about in Chapter 5 of FREEDOM.

In THE Interview it is explained that we have completely loving and selfless instincts, and that our selfish, opportunist behaviour is the result of a psychosis, resulting from a clash between our emerging conscious mind and those pre-established instincts. And so while it is true that the more intelligient do have the ability to quickly see any opportunity for selfish self-advancement, that is not a reflection of selfish instincts. No, their opportunism and inequality is a symptom of the underlying, deep insecurity in humans caused by the human condition, so if we solve that condition we resolve its symptoms. To do this we needed to answer the essential question of why, when the ideals are to be loving and selfless, are we so competitive and selfish? It is this question of questions that Jeremy Griffith has solved with his instincts vs intellect explanation. To quote FAQ 1.6 ‘Why does understanding solve everything’: “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.”

The guy talks about healing the troubled mind. Question is how many people would be willing to be open to the idea of healing their “inner self” and “self forgiveness” There are people that feel it is the higher power’s job to forgive and heal a person. They won’t actually do the “work”.

Solving the human condition meant answering the question of why, when the ideals are to be loving and cooperative, we are so selfish and competitive, and that was ultimately a biological question as it required finding the clarifying difference between the way the intellect and instincts work – this is the great breakthrough Jeremy Griffith has found.

THE Interview explains we humans rightly left our loving soulful state (‘that state of perfection’) and suffered becoming corrupted in soul (became ‘not perfect’) in order to fulfil the great potential of our conscious mind. So at last we can now understand just how heroic the human journey to find knowledge has been and we no longer have to carry the immense burden of guilt and shame for having corrupted our original innocent state. So yes, we not only ‘deserve’ to be able to return to our ‘perfect’ loving, soulful original state now the task of championing our ignorance and solving the human condition has been achieved, we actually can return to it! As Jeremy Griffith explains on the WTM Transformation page “We now have the completely redeeming, uplifting and healing biological understanding of the core mystery and problem about human behaviour of our so-called ‘good and evil’-stricken human condition—thus ending all the conflict and suffering in human life at its source, and providing the now urgently needed road map for the complete rehabilitation and transformation of our lives and world!”
