Comments on THE Interview

    Thank you for your consideration and thoughts Rand. Biologist Jeremy Griffith explains in THE Interview that all humans are born with loving moral instincts but now variously suffer from the human condition — a universal psychosis caused by a clash between our instinct and intellect. He further explains that while we couldn’t explain our corrupted, psychologically upset condition we had no choice but to live in a state of almost complete denial of the issue, to the point effectively of being unaware of it (see FAQ 1.16 about the initial ‘deaf effect’ this fear can cause). But now we can understand the source of our upset and that it was the price humans had to pay for searching for knowledge we can at last confront the human condition and relieve the subconscious fear of the human condition and the guilt and shame we carry for departing from our all-loving instincts. Jeremy’s work fundamentally lifts the ‘burden of guilt’ from the human race. It establishes that we are good and not bad after all by resolving the conflict between our intellect and instinct and thereby reconciling our divided selves (see FAQ 1.5 ‘Why is understanding the human condition important to my life?'). As psychiatrist Professor Harry Prosen, a former President of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, wrote: “the beauty of Griffith’s treatise is that the healing starts at the macro level of the universal human condition; the healing of the shame and blame that the whole human race has suffered from…It brings the greater context and love to all human psychosis and suffering, and then, from under the umbrella of that safe position, everyone can gradually work inwards to their particular experience of all the imperfections in human life that have now, finally, been made sense of” — see FAQ 1.34.     In terms of politics Jeremy’s ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation of the human condition allows us to understand the real merits and liabilities of both the left and right wing. His work certainly recognises the destructive brutality of the right-wing; indeed he brings understanding to the whole extremely destructive angry, egocentric and alienated human condition. He also recognises the failing of the Left, which is that its dogmatic insistence on cooperative, selfless and loving behaviour stifled and oppressed the freedom of expression and individualism needed to find knowledge, ultimately self-knowledge, the redeeming understanding of our seemingly destructive human condition that thankfully he has now found and presents in his book FREEDOM. Basically his work brings profound understanding to both sides, which, as mentioned ultimately brings to an end the whole ugly business of politics. This is fully explained in our FAQs about politics.

Thank you very much, Marc. While it will take generations to completely heal the human race, as Jeremy says in Freedom Essay 15, “the particular undeniable consequence of the arrival of understanding of the human condition of the transformation of our lives from living selfishly and competitively to living selflessly and cooperatively is going to eventually catch on as being the right response now for everyone and when it does, it will spread like wildfire across our planet, and save the world. And it is not a revolution that involves warfare and bloodshed like so many revolutions in the past, but a peaceful revolution that is driven by irrefutable knowledge/understanding. We humans are conscious beings and what consciousness needs is understanding, and now we have it. Ultimately, we humans respond to knowledge—anything less was bound to be ineffective. This is the real and lasting transformation that the human race has lived in hope, faith and trust would one day occur. It is the revolution of our minds.”

Agreed, but love can literally change the world and the human condition!

    Hi Judith, that is great that you found the interview terrific. On a personal level, how we begin is by getting more familiar with Jeremy Griffith’s breakthrough explanation of the human condition. To do that, you can go to our World Transformation Movement homepage at HumanCondition.com, which provides a guide to ‘WHAT NEXT after watching THE Interview?'. You will see that it recommends the steps to learn more and get involved — and it is all free! This includes joining our popular WTM Community Facebook Group and subscribing to our free mailing list to receive one email per week and occasional News Flashes.     There is also our 'How to Help' page, which shows the many ways we can start to bring about the human condition reconciled world we all dream of.

It is true that the state of the world is dire, but take heart, Alice, because once this liberating understanding catches on, it will sweep across the world very quickly. And as you can see from the daily ecstatic responses on our homepage, the relief and excitement of finally be able to make sense of human life is already turning into a tidal wave of world-saving support!! As Part 4 of THE Interview and FAQ 1.40 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 also recommend reading Freedom Essay 15: ‘How your life can immediately be transformed’. You can also see our growing network of WTM centres all around the world. Also come and join the 80,000 members on our WTM Facebook Group and discuss and celebrate this astonishing new understanding of ourselves!!!!!

I’ve been trying to find this for some time now. And I had to lose myself for it to materialize. And my friends don’t believe anything they can’t hear,feel ,and see. But the more we begin to understand, it’s still against what we’ve been led to believe. I love the world,but once high population of humanity is present,it gets cruel. And ugly.

     Thanks for your considered response Avie. 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, even sadists etc, who are addicted to having power over others; see our FAQ 4.2 ‘How does this rehabilitate what we historically term ‘evil’’, which explains, “At long last we have the reason for humans’ capacity for shocking acts of cruelty, sadism, hate, murder and warfare—we now know the source of the dark volcanic forces in us humans.”      With regard for the time it will take for the upset within us to be completely healed, as Part 4 of THE Interview explains, it will take generations for that to happen, but it also stresses importantly we can be immediately free of its affects. 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 further explained in Freedom Essay 15 ‘How our lives can be immediately transformed’ and the Transformation section of our website is brimming with invaluable insight and personal affirmations.

Hi Jack, sorry to hear about your issues, but very pleased that Jeremy Griffith’s biological explanation of the human condition is resonating with you. With regard to religion, this explanation reconciles science and religion by bringing biological understanding to pre-scientific concepts. In terms of Christianity and Christ, Jeremy considers the Bible to be a repository of extremely rare denial-free truth, containing all the truth about human life albeit from that pre-science view, and he has written about Christ’s life and its phenomenal importance in humanity’s journey in Freedom Essay 39. You would also find our FAQs about religion very interesting.

    Thanks for your feedback Moki. We suggest that the fundamental explanation is very simple but, as explained in THE Interview, it does open up the historically off-limits subject of the human condition so people can initially struggle to access or ‘hear’ what is being explained. FAQ 1.16 further explains this initial ‘deaf effect’. However, where there are language barriers or specific cultural references that will help convey the ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation, then what we find is that people such as yourself who can understand the explanation can act as intermediaries, and convey this liberating breakthrough to indigenous communities.     With special regard to those peoples, what is so extraordinary about this information is that it means we can at last explain that the more innocent or sheltered ‘races’ (ethnic groups) 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, more sheltered races have more affinity with our instinctive soulful, cooperative way of living and nature and can still access that knowledge & wisdom. 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, and so this explanation of our ‘corrupted’ condition applies to indigenous peoples, just as much as it does to everyone else. Also, most significantly, what we can now understand is that 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.

That’s wonderful Joshua and yes there certainly are so many people from all around the world who are astonished that the human condition has at last been explained and solved!! You can read the over 20,000 ecstatic responses to THE Interview at the top of our Homepage expressing their excitement and relief! This really is the long-awaited scientific breakthrough in understanding ourselves that ends human suffering at its source and unites the human race!

While religions contained extraordinary truth about human life, it was all from a pre-scientific view, and that 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 clarifying difference means we can now understand that we had to defy our instincts, which is why this great breakthrough is described as ‘redeeming’. It follows that by finding the good reason we had to defy our instincts, we can reconcile ourselves with them, because all our defensive behaviours (our anger, egocentricity and alienation) are now redundant. We no longer need them because we have the real defense for why we had to defy our instincts. We recommend reading FAQ 6.3 ‘Does this undermine religion?’ where it is explained that, “The great founding prophets of religion actually looked forward to the arrival of the reconciling understanding of the human condition—which means supporters of religion shouldn’t see Jeremy’s scientific demystification of religious teachings as blasphemy, but as religious fulfillment!”

There is a lot to think about here, Jack. The main thing we learn from understanding the human condition is that the conscious mind had to search for knowledge, in order to fulfil its potential. So, we can now see that the destruction and suffering brought about by the advent of freedom was, although tragic, absolutely necessary. Finally, however, we have the understanding that is needed to reconcile and rehabilitate humanity, and an amazing future beckons, free of the human condition. Which is why Jeremy’s book is called FREEDOM: The End of the Human Condition. It is exactly right.

Hi Deanna, thanks for your comment. Certainly we grow wise as we grow older, learning, as you say, that no-one “is really bad”. But ultimately, in order to bring about an end to the “internal battle”, 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. Having this core mystery and problem about human behaviour solved ends all the conflict and suffering in human life at its source, and provides the now urgently needed road map for the complete rehabilitation and transformation of our lives and world! It couldn’t be a bigger breakthrough

Thought provoking and mind blowing. I need to watch again to understand the situation more.

Good on you Christiane for persevering!! You will be happy to know we have numerous translations of THE Interview and other publications, including French translations, which you can freely access on our Translations page. You will see that as well as THE Interview Jeremy Griffith’s definitive book FREEDOM has also been translated into french!! As well we have over 80 WTM Centres all around the world so you might like to visit one that is closest to you – see our FAQ 3.3 ‘How do I contact my nearest WTM Centre?’

    Hi Harold, as THE Interview explains, the only way we could legitimately “change the dreadful conditions of humans” and return to our original cooperative and loving state, where all of nature was respected, was by answering the essential question of why, when the ideals of life are to be cooperative, loving and selfless, are we so competitive, unloving and selfish? ‘Legitimately’ because at last we have the first principle-based science which actually resolves our conflicted upset state instead of denying or transcending it and then trying to “choose” to behave respectfully. This is what biologist Jeremy Griffith’s treatise does and why it is heralded as being able to save the world. Having this core mystery and problem of our behaviour solved ends all the conflict and suffering in human life at its source, and provides the now urgently needed road map for the complete rehabilitation and transformation of our lives and world, so it couldn’t be a bigger breakthrough.     Also in Part 4 of THE Interview Jeremy explains the politically correct, ‘woke’ movement is not about understanding our condition — rather it is about denying and escaping it. To quote: “...the new age movement, the politically correct ‘woke’ movement, and all the other idealistic movements, were actually all false starts to a human-condition-free world because the upsetting battle to find knowledge, ultimately self-knowledge, the psychologically relieving understanding of why we are good and not bad, still had to be completed. In fact, while dogmatically insisting that everyone should be cooperative and loving could make you feel that you were doing good and be superficially psychologically very relieving, such insistence on ideal behaviour denied people the freedom of expression and individualism they needed to be able to continue the all-important upsetting search for knowledge. These movements were pseudo idealistic movements that stifled and oppressed the search for the understanding of our corrupted condition that was needed to actually free us from that state. They were regressive, not progressive as they deluded themselves they were...” We recommend THE Interview and also FAQ 6.5 ‘Is this just another self-help, New Age, pseudo idealistic, superficial-treatment-of-psychosis type movement?’, as both explain the important and critical difference between Jeremy’s biological explanation of the human condition and pseudo-idealism.

The human condition is the underlying problem in all human affairs so in explaining it aspects of human life, like politics, are naturally addressed and therefore relevant. We suggest watching the entire interview Chris because if you do it is clear there is no bias involved. What is presented is accountable first principle biological explanation as all the commendations Jeremy Griffith’s work has received from eminent scientists and thinkers attest, including from Professor Harry Prosen (a former president of the Canadian Psychiatric Association) who said, “I have no doubt Jeremy Griffith’s work is the holy grail of insight we have sought for the psychological rehabilitation of the human race”. In terms of politics Jeremy’s explanation of the human condition allows us to understand the real merits and liabilities of both the left and right wing. His work certainly recognises the destructive brutality of the right-wing; indeed he brings understanding to the whole extremely destructive angry, egocentric and alienated human condition. He also recognises the failing of the Left, which is that its dogmatic insistence on cooperative, selfless and loving behaviour stifled and oppressed the freedom of expression and individualism needed to find knowledge, ultimately self-knowledge, the redeeming understanding of our seemingly destructive human condition that thankfully he has now found and presents in his book FREEDOM. Basically his work brings profound understanding to both sides, which ultimately brings to an end the whole ugly business of politics. This is fully explained in our FAQs about politics. We also recommend Jeremy’s book, Death by Dogma which includes an analysis of Marxist thought. In it Jeremy emphasises that while it is easy to identify with the ideal of everyone being cooperative and loving, the whole objective of the human journey was to find understanding of why humans have not been cooperative and loving and instead so divisively competitive and aggressive. That is the great riddle of the human condition that had to be explained. Now at last we can understand why we humans have been competitive, aggressive and selfish, and, most wonderfully of all, by revealing that reason, the need for that divisive behaviour is ended.

Thank you for your comment John, it’s wonderful you are inspired to share THE Interview with your friends and family! The human condition has been the underlying problem in all human affairs and now it is solved we can see that is what has truly been driving our selfish, greedy and power-hungry behaviour. As biologist Jeremy Griffith explains when humans developed a conscious mind some two million years ago, a battle unavoidably developed between it and our already established cooperative and selfless instincts. The result of this conflict between our instinct and intellect was an undeserved sense of guilt and insecurity that caused us to become psychologically upset — angry, egocentric and alienated — a state we sought to alleviate through a competitive, selfish and aggressive bid for the reinforcement we could gain from winning power, fame, fortune and glory. But now that we can explain and understand this conflict and the guilt it produced, all those insecure, defensive, egocentric behaviours are obsoleted, brought to an end, and we free ourselves from the human condition! We think you might enjoy reading 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?’. 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.” So take heart John as 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!

Hi Todd, yes despite our competitive and selfish behaviour, we humans have always intuitively believed we were fundamentally good, but we have never been able to explain this contradictory, conflicted condition?! Ultimately we needed to find the scientific explanation for why we are fundamentally good—answer the age-old question of why when the universal ideals are to be loving, cooperative and selfless are we so angry, competitive and selfish. Answering this required finding the clarifying difference between the way the intellect and instincts work and that is the great biological breakthrough Jeremy presents here. Now not only can we now understand that our original instinctive orientation is loving and cooperative, we can also understand that our competitive, aggressive, destructive, even seemingly ‘disgusting’ behaviour was an unavoidable, indeed necessary, part of human life. This understanding defends our so-called ‘dark side’ and explains that despite all appearances to the contrary, all humans are ‘good’. 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, allowing us to return to the loving and cooperative state we crave! Importantly, this breakthrough explanation doesn’t condone or sanction the horrendous atrocities humans can commit (what historically has been termed ‘evil’) 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. 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?’

That’s great Kenneth and our reply to Justin below outlines the best way to pursue one’s interest so you might find that helpful. Also, to assist enquirers, we have an extensive FAQ facility which can be easily searched electronically at HumanCondition.com along with all our books and essays. Happy exploring!

We send you all our encouragement Justin to investigate this explanation because very day more and more people are discovering the astonishing fact that biologist Jeremy Griffith has actually SOLVED the human condition! Excitement and meaning — based on liberating and truthful understanding of ourselves and our world — is now on offer! Yes, the best place to start is to watch THE Interview at the top of the World Transformation Movement homepage — HumanCondition.com — and from there the homepage guides you through the steps to pursue your interest.

We suggest you won’t be disappointed after you watch THE Interview Tawanda! What is so important about biologist Jeremy Griffith’s ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation of the human condition is that it finally explains the real reason for why humans’ competitive and power-hungry behaviour became an unavoidable, indeed necessary, part of human life. He explains when the conscious mind went in search of knowledge a conflict between our cooperative instincts and intellect broke out, leading to 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, a state we sought to alleviate through a competitive, selfish and aggressive bid for the reinforcement we could gain from winning power, fame, fortune and glory. Proving we were better than someone else gave us artificial validation and reinforcement to counter the deep insecurity we felt about having to become self-corrupted. And so competition, sustained by the incentives of materialism and capitalism, are what maintained humanity’s heroic search for knowledge, ultimately for self-knowledge. With our goodness and worth now biologically established, we no longer need to be preoccupied with proving our goodness and worth. Solving the human condition solves all the confusion, frustration and suffering in human life at its source so we can actually stop the destruction of ourselves and save the world. We suggest our FAQ 1.3 which presents a very brief summary of the key ‘instinct vs intellect’ concept, FAQ 1.6 titled ‘Why does understanding of the human condition solve everything?’ and FAQ 1.40 answers the questions ‘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?'

Hi Alberto, Jeremy Griffith’s explanation of the human condition brings biological understanding to religious accounts of our condition, which means we can at last reconcile science and religion. For instance, in THE Interview he explains ‘God’ as Integrative Meaning, which is the Negative-Entropy-driven, ordering, integrative, cooperative, unconditionally selfless and loving theme or purpose or meaning of existence (see FAQ 6.2 ‘What is God’). Also Jeremy’s treatise does bring new insight to the story of Adam and Eve, clarifying that while in the pre-scientific story Adam and Eve were portrayed as ‘bad’ or even ‘evil’ to take the fruit of knowledge, and treated as ‘sinful’, we can now understand that humans were ‘good’, even heroic, to search for knowledge, even though it caused us to become psychologically upset angry, egocentric and alienated sufferers of the human condition. As Jeremy says in Part 2 of THE Interview, “‘No, no, that story got it wrong’. Adam and Eve are actually not just good but the heroes of the whole story of life on Earth.” What science can now add to that pre-scientific description of the human condition is that our instincts in effect criticised the emerging conscious mind’s search for knowledge, but importantly, we can now understand that the conscious mind was right, or ‘good’ to defy our instinctive self in order to fulfil its great potential to manage life. While religious assurances, such as ‘God loves you’ in Christianity, provided comfort, they failed to explain WHY we are lovable, and it is that missing explanation that this breakthrough provides. And significantly, by bringing biological understanding to pre-scientific concepts it at last reconciles science and religion — but rather than threatening religions, what people discover is it is the fulfilment of a time that all the great prophets looked forward to when we could actually explain ourselves (see FAQ 6.3 ‘Does this undermine religion/God’).

Hi Stephan, it’s great you’ve watched THE Interview as it’s the ideal introduction to Jeremy Griffith’s explanation of the human condition. From there, at top of our World Transformation Movement homepage HumanCondition.com, it states ‘WHAT NEXT after watching THE Interview?’ and guides you through the steps to pursue your interest.

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 what we have described as ‘evil’. 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?’.

I love this true finding because I have tried using my mind power to sometimes heal myself.

Thanks for your comment Glenn. As is explained in THE Interview, the ‘instinct vs intellect’ clash is what caused the human condition, which is manifest in our psychologically upset angry, egocentric and alienated behaviour. Of course, after some 2 million years (which is how long our species has been conscious), this instinct vs intellect clash now pervades and shapes all of our culture and everything we do. In fact, that upset ‘accumulates’ in the sense that someone born into a world that is already upset, will be traumatised and psychologically upset by that ‘historical’ upset, and then in turn pass that upset on to the next generation and so on. Which means that the particular “culture of home, family, work” can have a dramatic impact on an individuals exposure to the human condition, and therefore their subsequent levels of egocentricity and ‘drive for success’ in order to try to validate themselves. You might be interested in FAQ 1.37 ‘How much of our upset is caused by our own search for knowledge and how much is caused by the accumulated upset already in the world?’

Thanks Santosh. With regard to Hinduism, while 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 - why are we not ‘one big family’; why is the ‘I’ not merged with the ‘You’. 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.

    Some people have promoted the idea that on his death bed Darwin denounced natural selection, however it is not correct. The idea originates from a story told by Lady Elizabeth Hope to a devotional meeting in 1915, 30 years after Darwin’s death. Even ignoring the 30 year delay, the actual words that Lady Hope claims Darwin uttered do not reveal that he disowned his theory of natural selection. According to Lady Hope, Darwin said, “I was a young man with uninformed ideas. I threw out queries, suggestions, wondering all the time over everything; and to my astonishment the ideas took like wildfire. People made a religion of them.”     It also needs to be pointed out that nowhere in his autobiography, written in the years before his death, does Darwin disown his theory. What is of much more importance is that since Darwin’s death, accumulating evidence has only cemented the truth of natural selection. To that point where, as was reported in Scientific American in 2009, “No educated person any longer questions the validity of the so-called theory of evolution, which we now know to be a simple fact. Likewise, most of Darwin’s particular theses have been fully confirmed, such as that of common descent, the gradualism of evolution, and his explanatory theory of natural selection.” (Ernst Mayr, Darwin’s influence on Modern Thought)     It is worth considering that with the human condition solved, a lot of things can be demystified and explained properly, and that does include ‘evolution’. We can now understand and admit that ‘development’ is a more accurate word than ‘evolution’, for while evolution implies that organisms do change or evolve it avoids acknowledging that there is a direction and purpose to that change, which is to develop the order of matter, a process that is driven by the physical law of Negative Entropy. Until we could defend our apparently divisive human condition, we have not been able to admit to this Integrative Meaning of existence, and so mechanistic science in particular has not been able to admit that evolution is a ‘developmental’ process not a random one. You can read more about this in Jeremy’s Freedom Essay 25: ‘The truthful biology: the real story of the development of life, including humans’. Similarly, we can finally understand that ‘God’ is our deification of the underlying theme of all existence of the integration of matter. You can read more about this topic in FAQ 6.2.

Thank you Nancy. One of the great benefits of understanding the human condition is that everyone can now appreciate everyone else with great empathy. To quote molecular biologist Dr Anna Fitzgerald from her commendation of this work: “because Griffith’s work establishes the equal worth or goodness of all humans we can now understand the different roles that men and women have traditionally played in the human journey and this is actually the unlocking point, this is what brings about deep empathy for each other, it heals the divide” — see Freedom Essay 9 about ending the war between the sexes.

Thank you for your comment Mike and we hope the following thoughts help with your consideration of this treatise. THE Interview explains all humans are born with loving moral instincts but we all now variously suffer from a psychosis due to the human condition, not just the overtly destructive “evil rulers of the world”, and as you digest this redeeming understanding you will realise that it is safe to connect with that fact. The issue of whether we are fundamentally good or bad has been the most unbearably depressing and terrifying of subjects to face, and until that question could be answered, which it has in THE Interview, we have lived with a feeling of unworthiness, insecurity, shame and guilt and, necessarily, in almost total denial of the human condition, so it does take a while to fully appreciate the extent of our denial.

    While 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 Griffith presents.     Jeremy’s treatise actually reconciles science and religion by bringing biological understanding to pre-scientific concepts. You might be interested in our FAQs about religion. FAQ 6.2 for example, explains that, “Obviously what was desperately missing was the reconciling understanding of our upset behaviour and the Godly ideals; reconciling understanding of the human condition in fact—which is exactly what Jeremy Griffith presents us with.”
