Ur right. I was amazed with the interview.
Heather L Nickels
I’ve not been able to watch the videos yet, but Im going to as soon as I’m off work. The little that I was able to watch was AMAZING.
Sandie Sianongo
I’m thrilled that this has happened in my life time. I’m free at last. I want to listen to the interview again for the third time.

This is just understanding choice and control.
WTM Admin
We suggest that as you digest the instinct vs intellect explanation you will realise that what this understanding explains is why any individual chooses to act in the way they do i.e. why we make the selfish and aggressive choices we do. We can now understand that because individuals have different encounters with the human condition through the circumstances of their lives and upbringing, they will have various levels of psychological upset, and as a result there will be different levels of need for reinforcement and anger and alienation, and it is this that explains why individuals make the choices they do. Importantly, having this understanding is not about ‘controlling’ our impulses or choices, but through bringing understanding to the source of humans’ selfish and aggressive behaviour, it gives us the power to ameliorate and thus subside and ultimately eliminate it.

Makes perfect sense to me.

I have this book, I read it quite a long time ago. I found it very interesting and fascinating.
David J
Scarcity of narural resources and food due to fires and droughts caused humanity to become competitive. Fearing for ones survival and the inability to provide for one’s family the necessities is the source for competition and territorial wars. After so many generations of this we forget thaat cooperation was the origin of our survival. Takeaway the food and habitat of the bonobos and they will war with other tribes eventually too.
WTM Admin
We suggest that the more you digest Jeremy Griffith’s ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation, the more you will realise how realistic and accountable it actually is in getting to the source of all humanity’s psychological upset. As THE Interview explains we do have completely loving and selfless instincts as a result of the nurturing love-indoctrination process explained in Part 3 (not, as is also mentioned in Part 3, through ‘group selection’, which is what you are suggesting; the idea that cooperation emerged as a group survival strategy is flawed biology because the reality is that any selfless behaviour will always be relentlessly selected against), and that our greed and conflict isn’t the product of limited resources, but a psychosis resulting from a clash between our emerging conscious mind and those pre-established instincts. Selfishness, which is what fighting over resources is, is a symptom of the underlying, deep insecurity in humans caused by the human condition, so if we solve that condition we resolve any competition over resources.
Diane
Wow! Looking forward.....

I was amazed by the interview.

This is a very eye-opening video that everyone needs to watch. Great changes are on the way.
Marie Sausele
I just started listening, but I’m fascinated but just what I’ve heard about the human condition 🇺🇸
Lesley Fowler
Of course repair is the way to go.
WTM Admin
Yes, but what has been needed is a change of heart. You might be interested in chapter 9:9 of FREEDOM titled ‘How the Transformed Way of Living will quickly repair the world’. It is all clearly described there, where he refers to Australia’s greatest educator Sir James Darling, his headmaster at Geelong Grammar School, talking about humanity’s great ‘change of heart’. Jeremy writes, “while it will take time, in fact, a few generations, for humans to sufficiently absorb the understanding of the human condition to the degree needed for our underlying insecurity to be fully ameliorated—and thus the need for some artificial reinforcement from materialism, and some artificial relief through escapism, self-distraction and sexual adventure, etc, etc, to completely disappear—once you adopt the Transformed State, while you haven’t eliminated the insecure state of the human condition within yourself, you have completely changed your mind’s focus from living an ego-embattled, selfish life to living selflessly; you have had the ‘change of heart’, the fundamental change of direction, that is so urgently needed to fix the world.”

Powerful
Georgina Bassett
Super interesting. I need to focus and concentrate to understand it all but makes total sense. To be shared and to be re listened to get the full meaning.
William
Is true
Esther Gleixner
Very interesting and worthwhile listening to with an open mind. However, seem to be quite a few basic assumptions and gaps whch do not fit with the explanation of how we came to be in the modern western conflictual world we are in today. Could also attribute the harmony of the original state to what Griffiths describes as the selfless loving nurturing indoctrination grounded on women and matriarchy setting the tone of home, hearth and community. When men used their special skills and attributes which were very useful and appropriate for hunting and providing and started exercising the same combative approaches in the social arena context - things went basdly wrong. This became further skewed when when capitalism/colonialism fueled the fire of male dominated ambition - why else would they work so hard i these types of society to deny women property rights, the vote, and want to keep them submissive? Different countries and their inter-relationship culture and ethics - from government level to individual - probably lie along a spectrum of how abusive and exploitive they are. They say the most civilised and harmonious societies are still those that respect women and take care of children and the elderly (ie co-operative and loving). This could be another valid interpretation of the same biological investigations. However- I am very grateful that Jeremy Griffiths has opened this dialogue and I am sure his ideas will start pathing the path for a better future for humanity. We can’t keep going the way we have been any longer.will
WTM Admin
Thanks for your thoughts Esther. We suggest that as you digest the ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation more, you will see that it actually provides a very profound explanation for the cause of men’s psychologically upset angry, egocentic and alienated condition; more so, we respectfully suggest, than a misuse of hunting skills.
With regard to the war between the sexes, to quote molecular biologist Dr Anna Fitzgerald from her commendation of Jeremy’s 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. And, as Jeremy says in concluding chapter 8:11B of his book FREEDOM, “With understanding of the human condition now found, men and women can at last stand side by side—the ‘war of the sexes’ can finally be resolved. Yes, the human journey can have the happy ending we always hoped it would.”
William moses
I am very impressed to learn of such biological research on the human race.
Carolyn Shadd
Still a little confused. But very interested in learning more.
WTM Admin
Hi Carolyn. Shedding light on the human condition represents a huge paradigm shift for us all, so there is a lot to take in - the key to this process is to take your time and rewatch presentations.

Darlene Skidmore
At 70 years old Now, and having spent a life seaking answers to the why we are what we are and why we do the things we do that causes greif and hardship in our world I am flabbergasted at the simplicity of this answer. Amazed and relieved at the answer. Thank you for the answers you are sharing. I feel like a huge boulder has been removed from my consciousness. I want to here more.
John Reid
very interesting and thought provoking interview that gives some explanations to how we as humans have developed as a species
Rose
I searched for much of my life trying to understand why humans were made to believe that we were inherently bad and sinful. I found many of your own answers of the course in religious dogma. I always thought the human race wouldn’t have reached to this point in our evolution if we were evil. Mothers must nurture their young yes and so must fathers because we are human. Fatherhood is just as important for us to evolve into this new age.
I also must add why I say this . Parents are the children’s best guardians. Yes different but needed.
Also I am questioning your social understanding of what you said about the left. The left side of political society seems more like what we need to break away for greed and into a more democratic human existence of sharing. I would love you to talk more as why you see it differently.
WTM Admin
Thanks Rose. While religions contained extraordinary truth about human life, it was 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 here and his book FREEDOM. That is the great breakthrough presented here.
With regard to politics, it does take some time to get your head around the paradox of the human condition in order to understand the roles of the left and right wings. We recommend Jeremy Griffith’s book, Death by Dogma, which is freely available here on our homepage. 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. Which brings us to the final paradox of the human condition: through the right wing upholding the selfishness needed to persevere with the search for knowledge, we all now become left-wing (as it were, although the truth is that the whole ugly business of politics is now brought to a close). We also recommend our FAQs on politics.

We need insight and hope. May this be what we need right now.
Norman Lakayana
The greatest eye opener I have ever come across in this our wretched greedy broken fractured troubled world 🌎! Amazing exposition by a remarkable human being
Sseru Alloysious
Wonderful break through or another mistaken idea?
WTM Admin
Hi Sseru we appreciate your interest. As our FAQ 1.9 ‘Should people be sceptical’ explains, the astonishing claims being made about Jeremy Griffith’s work do warrant initial scepticism however they all withstand scrutiny as what he presents is 100% logic. People find once they begin exploring the explanation the more they do the more they realise the claims are actually true, and in time become appreciated for their forthright honesty in indicating where the solution to our problems lies — as the commendations Jeremy’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”. So we encourage you to watch THE Interview and judge for yourself!
Rita Kennedy
Very interesting and uplifting!
Shannon Taylor
I know what I have seen on TV and heard couldn’t be happening,so I am so glad to see the science behind The Human Condition.I know that everything that’s going on in the world is for a reason because some people are definitely living in the psychosis part and they are the dangerous ones.Thank you😉
WTM Admin
Yes Shannon being able to understand the human condition brings our minds the greatest relief because we have the reason for all the chaos and suffering, which at times is so unthinkable it is hard to believe. However now with this explanation we have the ability, for the first time ever, to understand every aspect of human behaviour (see FAQ 1.5 ‘Why is this important to our lives' and FAQ 1.6 'Why this solves everything’). This critical new science presents a huge paradigm shift in our thinking so it takes time to fully absorb just how universal the human condition is. As Jeremy Griffith explains, humans are born with loving moral instincts but we all now variously suffer from a psychosis due to the human condition caused by the conscious mind’s necessary search for knowledge. In the extreme, that psychologically conflicted upset state produces extremely destructive behaviour, or what has historically been called ‘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?’. We encourage you to pursue you interest Shannon.

Christine Drum
It was fascinating, listening to your interaction.I will be processing this for some time. I am going to add this to what is important for I to follow until I can wrap my head around something. This sounds so small to me then it seems so big. I have been gifted to live in an unusual place. Not so much city energy. I have been reading a lot about narcissism. I disagree with much of the opinions as to why it is becomming so common. More commom in cities. I feel it is fear driven. Would fear also be part of the human condition? For every person who feels like going out and kicking butt. Aren’t there 500 aggression scared people. Add alcohol that changes. Which leads me to trust how do these scared people “come out” they dont Trust anymore. Starting when Bonobos are nurturing thier babies with to the fullest these kids were coming home to empty houses, or worse angry older siblings who take it out on them. No bonobo families. Working families, scared, tired, angry. How does it come together ❤️ 🤔 Now? Thankyou I like this. I want to hear your book on internet. Be free, be true to you! ❤️
WTM Admin
That is wonderful you found THE Interview so fascinating Christine. It does present a new way of thinking about ourselves and the world which does take time to fully absorb and process and yes you can listen to Jeremy Griffith’s definitive book FREEDOM on our website here where you can see all the formats that are freely available including an audio book!
In terms of how this explains narcissism what we learn from THE Interview is all humans are born with loving moral instincts but we all now variously suffer from a psychosis due to the human condition and, in the extreme, that psychologically conflicted upset state produces psychopathic behaviour. 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?’ To read about the psychology behind the creation of psychopathic, ‘power-addicted’ and narcissistic behaviour, see chapter 8:16D of FREEDOM. Also, Jeremy further elaborates on this need for power, control and domination in Freedom Essay 62 where he gives a full presentation of the entire human journey and how understanding of the human condition now makes possible the real therapy and rehabilitation of the human race.
THE Interview also explains the human condition is the most terrifying of subjects because it’s the issue self, of whether we are fundamentally good or bad. So yes we are extremely fearful of this subject, so much so, as Jeremy explains in Part 2, “we’ve had to live in denial of our corrupted, psychologically upset condition while we couldn’t explain it”. Thankfully, now with the human condition now safely defended we can acknowledge it and in fact cope with the confronting nature of having our upset state exposed. For example with this compassionate explanation we can now appreciate humanity’s necessary preoccupation with finding knowledge compromised our ability to nurture and the terrible guilt that parents have felt for not being able to fully nurture their children is explained away. We suggest you will find the follow FAQs most revealing and helpful in terms of your question “How does it come together”: FAQ 1.39 ‘How are we supposed to cope with all the heretical truths brought to light by the explanation of the human condition? / What are some of the heresies that are now safe and necessary to admit?’ and 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?’
JAN NIKOLAJ JENSEN
Kompliceret men virkeligt den rette virkelighed [Complicated but truly the right reality (tr. from Danish)]
WTM Admin
Thank you very much for your comment Jan and we agree this explanation introduces “truly the right reality”. Part 1 of THE Interview does present the core explanation as quickly and simply as possible. However opening up the underlying issue in all human affairs of the human condition does mean that there are several absolutely critical questions to be answered, which make up Parts 2, 3 & 4 so there is certainly a lot to digest but the key ‘instinct vs intellect’ concept is very simple. Essentially, when we humans developed a conscious mind some 2 million years ago, a battle unavoidably developed between it and our already established instincts. The result of this conflict between our instinct and intellect was that we became psychologically defensive, angry, alienated and egocentric — the upset state we refer to as the human condition. But now that we can explain and understand this conflict, all those insecure, defensive behaviours are obsoleted, brought to an end, and we free ourselves from the human condition (see FAQ 1.3 ‘What is the explanation of the human condition?’). Also, as is explained in THE Interview, 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 subject can make us think that what is being presented is complicated but with more digestion it becomes straightforward as it is all logical explanation. We do encourage people to watch THE Interview a few times to become more familiar with what’s presented and from there watch the next introductory video The Great Guilt. In this presentation Jeremy Griffith gives an astonishingly interesting and important description of The Great Burden Of Guilt that has finally been lifted from the human race, and the ‘Deaf Effect’ its lifting typically causes us to initially experience. We hope you persevere Jan and if you need any encouragement just read the ecstatic responses to THE Interview at the top of our homepage and also the many commendations Jeremy’s work has received from a broad range of eminent scientists and thought leaders on our Reviews & Commendations page.
If you are not already aware we do have many translations freely available on our Translations page. This includes Dutch translations of THE Interview and Jeremy’s definitive book FREEDOM along with other publications. People can also watch all our videos using the ‘cc’ (closed captions) or subtitles function in their native language.

Never could comprehend “original sin”.
WTM Admin
Hi Carolyn, great to have your interest! Yes for us to comprehend “original sin” ultimately science had to explain our less than ideal condition which Jeremy Griffith presents with his ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation of the human condition. As he explains in THE Interview, 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 becoming psychologically upset or ‘sinful’ or ‘evil’. However, significantly we can now understand, from scientific first principles, that ‘Adam and Eve’ were ‘good’ to search for knowledge, not bad or ‘sinful’; we humans are actually the absolute heroes of the whole story! This lifts the burden of guilt from humanity as we have the full compassionate truth about our upset state so it couldn’t be a bigger breakthrough! As Craig Conway exclaims after Jeremy explains this: “Yeah, I hadn’t realised that, but it is true, I mean Adam and Eve taking the fruit from the tree of knowledge is a metaphor for becoming conscious, and then they were thrown out of the Garden of Eden of original innocence because it appeared that they were bad for doing so, but now thankfully we can explain that they, we humans, weren’t bad at all; in fact, we are the heroes of the story of life on Earth!”. So Jeremy’s work reconciles religion and science by bringing biological understanding to pre-scientific concepts which is explained in our FAQ 1.15 ‘If this is a biological explanation of the human condition why are the terms ‘good’ and ‘evil’ used’.

Exactly what I need.
Ben
Have avoided this talk for months but hey ho let’s give it a go !
WTM Admin
Good on you Ben! Your avoidance is understandable as 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 going anywhere near this fundamental question creates a resistance within us. This is explained in THE Interview and it is helpful to be aware of this as it can make accessing all that is explained a little difficult in just one viewing (FAQ 1.16 explains this initial ‘deaf effect’). However you can see from all the thousands of ecstatic responses to THE Interview (at the top of our homepage) it is well worth persevering!! Sending you all our encouragement and you might find our reply to Kk below helpful as it summarises the key concept that THE Interview presents.
Angel L
I kept hoping someone would be willing to explain something to help me understand the insanity
WTM Admin
Hi Angel, by “the insanity” we assume you are referring to the terrifying state of the world and that is exactly what Jeremy Griffith explains and solves in THE Interview. It isn’t clear if you have watched THE Interview but what Jeremy explains introduces a new paradigm that dares to confront the historically off-limits subject of the human condition so it can take more than one viewing to fully understand what he presents. He 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 our species and our world are 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 Jeremy has delivered in this instinct vs intellect understanding of the human condition. See FAQ 1.6 ‘Why does understanding solves everything’. Also, we suggest you will find our response to Kk below most helpful.
Noel
“To live right and meaningful”
Mel
Good info!
Kk
I’m curious
WTM Admin
We welcome your curiosity Kk! The best place to start is to watch THE Interview, in which Jeremy Griffith presents his breakthrough ‘instinct v intellect’ explanation of the human condition. Part 1 of this interview presents the explanation as quickly and simply as possible and FAQ 1.3 presents a very brief summary of the key ‘instinct vs intellect’ concept. Essentially, when we humans developed a conscious mind some 2 million years ago, a battle unavoidably developed between it and our already established instincts. The result of this conflict between our instinct and intellect was that we became psychologically defensive, angry, alienated and egocentric — the upset state we refer to as the human condition. But now that we can explain and understand this conflict, all those insecure, defensive behaviours are obsoleted, brought to an end, and we free ourselves from the human condition. Happy exploring Kk!

This is surely a life changing book, the book facilities the release of the human potential by transforming us (humans) from a hateful, lazy state to a loving, joyful hardworking and selfishlessly contributing (helping humanity to live in a continuously conducive and sustainable environment) state.

I did biology at school but never considered this. This is great stuff for all humans
Ellen Johnson
And where do u think GOD will be in all this
He will change your plans and your attitude
WTM Admin
Hi Ellen, what is presented here is a scientific explanation of the human condition. However, Jeremy’s work doesn’t contradict a belief in God or Christianity. 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. Although this is science, it is based on a Godly nature in the sense of recognising, like all the great religions do, that we humans once lived in a pre-human-condition-afflicted state of original innocence where we were perfectly instinctively orientated to the cooperative, selfless, loving, ‘Godly’ ideals of life; ‘God’ being explained in as being the integrative meaning of life; please see our FAQs about religion.

I see the good intentions in what you are trying to achieve. But your views are inherently flawed. Your ideas about competivness being a flawed explanation for the human condition are based on patriarchal ideas. Untill we dismantle the patriarchal power structures the change you wish to see will never happen. If anything, what you say perpetuates the patriarchal power By saying the way we nuture children teaches this flawed idea of competivness puts responsibility on women. Who are still the primary care givers in most societies. It is the patriarchy who controls society they are the perpetrators of this idea that we are biologically competivne. If we are to work co opertively discussions about the human condition need to happen with other peoples contributions. No just some cis White guy being a patriarchal rescuer. You need to include women and people from different backgrounds and ethnicities before you can claim to have all the answers.
WTM Admin
Hi Harley, 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. The female perspective is certainly not missing from Jeremy Griffith’s treatise and both the male and female contribution to the human journey are fully explained and equally acknowledged. In fact, matriarchy is finally given the recognition and honour it deserves with Jeremy’s explanation of how it was women’s maternal love that gave us our moral soul and created humanity no less! (This love-indoctrination process is further explained in Freedom Essay 21 and fully explained chapter 5 of his definitive book FREEDOM.) And what is astonishing is that despite our psychologically upset condition this biological treatise establishes all humans are equally good, worthwhile, meaningful and wonderful regardless of gender, age, race, religion, etc. See biologist Dr Anna Fitzgerald’s video commendation about how this explanation is the real liberation of women in Video/Freedom Essay 9 and also our FAQs on men and women.
Given your criticisms, we also recommend Jeremy’s analysis of left-wing thinking, including Critical Race Theory, in his book Death by Dogma, in which he 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.
You might also like to read our FAQ 9.1 about how this 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 and Refentse Molosiwa in Video/Freedom Essay 8.

I AM SO HUMBLED
ITS SO EYE OPENING
Alexandru Tudor
I think this is indeed a great discovery, if not the greatest. Like any pessimist (or soul fallen deep into the human condition issue), I need to make good use of the cognitive pragmatic inquiry here and not walk on the enthusiast thin wire related to this discovery: religion will not like this - because they need people to think they are bad to go to curch to get forgivness, politicians will not agree with this - only check the current state of the Unated States politics - all republicans think all democrats are phaedofiles and viceversa and public sphere is too cough and in a hurry to fall into the division created by one or the other side of the aisle. However, once we get over this madhouse party (let’s hope without a war), people will finally have a chance to let it sink in.
Noetheless, I’ve ordered the book and will study it from cover to cover. I’ve already read online part of the introduction, and to be fair, this introduction is one of the best introductions I’ve read in a book. One of the Best with a capital B.
Thank you for your work Dr Griffith. And thank you for working to make it visible.

Hi Alexandru, thank you so much for your enthusiasm for and curiosity about Jeremy Griffith’s breakthrough insight into the human condition. And we absolutely agree that everyone should take their time to pragmatically digest this new paradigm of thinking, because what we think you will discover as you do so is that, to address your intial concerns, Jeremy’s explanation actually brings deep understanding to all aspects of human life, including both left- and right-wing worldviews. He acknowledges the destructive aspects of right-wing behaviour while also addressing the limitations of the left, particularly its suppression of the individual freedom needed to gain self-knowledge. His insights ultimately transcend divisive politics, as explained in our FAQ on politics.
Similarly, far from challenging or undermining religion, Jeremy’s work fulfills what all the great prophets, and their religious teachings, anticipated – a time when we could finally understand ourselves. This is explained in FAQ 6.3 and further explored in our FAQs on religion.
Because this explanation deals with such confronting truths about the human condition, we again emphasise that everyone take their time investigating what’s being presented through our comprehensive, freely available books, videos, essays and other FAQs covering every aspect of Jeremy’s holistic-not-mechanistic, human-condition-confronting-not-avoiding treatise on the human condition, including discussion of politics and religion. You can also use our search facility at www.humancondition.com/ to find where your questions are answered.

Very interesting. I love educating others. Thanks I can forward your words.
Noeline
So. Where did our concious mind come from then? How did we develop a psychi? Why did only humans develop this?
WTM Admin
Thanks for your questions, Noeline. We thought it worth mentioning even though THE Interview is a summary presentation it does provide references to more comprehensive material where answers to the questions you have asked are presented. 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.
But to answer your related questions as succinctly as possible here, one of the great outstanding mysteries of science is ‘What is consciousness, and how did it emerge, and why have only humans achieved full consciousness?’ Jeremy Griffith explains in THE Interview that consciousness simply means being sufficiently aware of how experiences are related to attempt to manage change from a basis of understanding. Clearly while other animals have various levels of ‘awareness’, sentience, none can consciously manage events like humans can, and so they don’t possess fully conscious minds, and therefore won’t suffer from the instinct vs intellect clash that caused the human condition. It is also worth noting that Jeremy explains that the development of consciousness depended on overcoming the competitive, selfish ‘animal condition’ and becoming orientated to selflessness, so if a species is still preoccupied with selfish, competitive dominance, as other animals are, they can’t become fully conscious. He explains that humans were able to overcome the ‘animal condition’ through the process of love-indoctrination that our ape ancestors were able to implement. Being bipedal, they were able to provide intense and prolonged maternal care, which proved the unlocking point for our species to develop our altruistic, moral instinctive self or soul, and our unique consciousness. You can read more about the nurturing-based love-indoctrination process in chapter 5 of Jeremy’s definitive book FREEDOM, and how it liberated consciousness in chapter 6. You can also read summaries of these chapters in Freedom Essays 21 and 24 respectively.

Awesome. TRUTH

Really enjoyed this discussion.
Manitto Salaam
The Bible gives the best account of the human condition and the solution to the problem.
WTM Admin
Thanks for your thoughts, Manitto. Jeremy Griffith’s work brings biological understanding to all those concepts contained in the Bible, which he acknowledges as being a repository of extremely rare denial-free truth, containing all the truth about human life albeit from a pre-scientific view. But 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. What Jeremy is putting forward is that for there to be a fundamental solution to our human situation we had to understand the human condition – humans’ capacity for good and evil – from a biological perspective. You might find our FAQs about religion of interest.
Diane
Understanding the human condition! Thank you!
Carol Engram
Thank you. This whole understanding is true to me!
My heart has expanded with joy and hope of the truth of being conquered by LOVE
Keep your love eyes open
WTM Admin
Thank you Carol! It is wonderful how much Jeremy Griffith’s explanation is resonating with you. What is so significant about this explanation is it allows us to ‘love our dark side’. So at last we can return to our instinctive loving way of being as that depended on bringing biological understanding to what love is which is unconditional selflessness (see FAQ 5.3), which is a truth we couldn’t safely admit until we could explain the human condition—explain why our human behaviour has been so unloving and selfish. 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 in THE Interview. This reconciling understanding brings about the transformation of the world not by imposing idealism, but by bringing loving understanding to realism in each and every one of us and so yes we are “conquered by love” as you so beautifully say!! You may be interested in Jeremy’s essay titled ‘What is Love?’ from his book The Book Of Real Answers To Everything! which you can access HERE along with all of Jeremy Griffith’s Books.
Flora MAGALHAES DIAS
Merci, chacun de nous a besoin de faire un travail de transformation sur soi [Thank you, each of us needs to work on transforming ourselves (tr. from French)]
WTM Admin
At last with the human condition solved Flora we have the biological explanation to truly transform ourselves and the world! In a nutshell, we can now understand that our behaviour has been driven by a deep insecurity about our fundamental goodness, 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. This is the rapidly transforming effect of being able to understand the human condition. Our FAQs 1.4 to 1.6 are helpful as they talk about the far-reaching practical applications of this understanding. For the most detailed explanation of the transformation that is now possible we recommend Jeremy Griffith’s two seminal presentations on the topic: The Great Transformation and Sermon On The Beach.

Yvette M. Alley
A fabulously simple explanation to a complex problem.
Tereza
Thank you, what Jeremy said in the interview speaks to the core of me, I Am a true believer in compassionate, collaborative, loving living , we are all a family in essence. I Am ready to claim and allow my freedom with complete psychological soul healing through the knowledge and explanation in this book, as well as looking forward to fully realizing my dream to be living in a community where this is a reality; And that it can be expand to as many people as possible and in as many languages as possible.
WTM Admin
We agree Tereza that what Jeremy says speaks to our core! As he explains in THE Interview all humans are born with loving moral instincts (not competitive and selfish animal instincts) but we all now variously suffer from a psychosis brought about by the conscious mind’s necessary yet corrupting search for knowledge. So at last we can understand the real reason why humans’ selfish and unloving behaviour became an unavoidable, indeed necessary, part of human life. And, by explaining the very good reason why our intellect had to defy our loving instincts, it makes redundant our defensive behaviours of anger, egocentricity and alienation. We had to lose ourselves to find ourselves! So with the human condition now solved we can legitimately heal and return to our “compassionate, collaborative, loving” 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 (FAQ 6.5 which explains this critical difference between Jeremy’s work and the new age movement). As Jeremy says at the beginning of Part 2: “While we are all inevitably variously angry, egocentric and alienated from our different encounters with humanity’s heroic battle to find knowledge, ultimately self-knowledge, understanding of our corrupted condition, we can now know that every human is fundamentally good. And this ability to understand and know there was a good reason why the human race became psychologically upset, is the key, relieving understanding we have been in search of ever since we became conscious some 2 million years ago and our corrupted condition emerged. That is the key relief for our mind—being finally able to understand that we are good and not bad is what brings us the greatest psychological relief of all.”
Pita Bainikoro
it is just simply mind blowing.
I have never heard, read and now even see something been explained so crystal clear about
our deteriorating stage of human condition its origin and solution in my entire life of 56yrs in this universe call earth. WHOW WHOW WHOW WOW An unexplainable excitement is looming...WHOW.
Toni
Very refreshing insight. Canada
Betsi Jenkins
If it was shorter I would read the book. Cannot you. Maybe publish it in a= shorter version. Oh well probably not. Humble? Knot. Betsi, Geoff and Todd. Stamford, CT.
WTM Admin
Hi Betsi, while great care has been taken to present the explanation as quickly and simply as possible (which is done in Part 1 of THE Interview), opening up the underlying issue in all human affairs of the human condition does mean that there are several absolutely critical questions to be answered, which make up Parts 2, 3 & 4 of THE Interview. However our FAQ 1.3 'What is the explanation of the human condition?' presents a very brief summary of the key ‘instinct vs intellect’ concept. Essentially, when we humans developed a conscious mind some 2 million years ago, a battle unavoidably developed between it and our already established instincts. The result of this conflict between our instinct and intellect was that we became psychologically defensive, angry, alienated and egocentric — the upset state we refer to as the human condition. But now that we can explain and understand this conflict, all those insecure, defensive behaviours are obsoleted, brought to an end, and we free ourselves from the human condition. So, in a world fast going crazy from the effects of the human condition we now have the means to end human suffering at its source and unite the human race so this couldn’t be a bigger breakthrough (see FAQ 1.6 'Why does understanding solve everything?'). The World Transformation Movement is a global not-for-profit movement and we make all our material and publications completely free on our website.
Brandon Albert
Let’s see what your saying.
Bill Devlin
Hurrah!
Pat
This is not biblically based. So where does God fit into the human condition?
WTM Admin
We certainly respect people’s religious views and thank you for your comment Pat. It is important to mention that Jeremy Griffith’s work doesn’t ignore or contradict a belief in God or religion — it simply brings biological understanding to all those pre-scientific concepts. Although this is science, it is based on a ‘Godly’ nature in the sense of recognising, like all the great religions do, that we humans once lived in a pre-human-condition-afflicted state of original innocence where we were perfectly instinctively orientated to the cooperative, selfless, loving, ‘Godly’ ideals of life; ‘God’ being explained as being the personification of integrative meaning of life. This is mentioned in THE Interview and the audience is referred to chapter 4 of Jeremy’s definitive book FREEDOM. This is also summarised in our FAQ 6.2 ‘What is God’ and you might find all our FAQs about religion of interest, especially FAQ 6.3 ‘Does this understanding undermine religion’.
Mike
Very interesting. I just wish our governments would listen to this documentary and see how after they would think about there ways ,thinking and actions,they choose that everyone else has to live in their decisions, I believe this world is just run undoubtedly on 3 causes of war and sadness,they are,religion, money and power.and the most important thing is in my opinion and truly the most important of all ,nobody at all has the right to kill and dictate any human being, though’s two top points are basics to be the 1st rule in life from day 1,and respecting each other, respect other people 1st and help everyone to the best possible you can ,as,hopefully not ,but we all need help sometimes in our lives that we can help each another when needed,.we all can do it,you know you can,it would be a better world, and I’m sure the whole world would agree, what a better beautiful world that we could all live in all together. Simple really.
WTM Admin
Hi Mike, what is so extraordinary about Jeremy Griffith’s instinct vs intellect explanation of the human condition is that it defends our so-called ‘dark side’. We can 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. So all the problems in the world like war and the need for power are all symptoms of this deeper underlying battle. Now that we can understand this conflict all those insecure behaviours, are obsoleted, brought to an end, and we free ourselves from that state and can legitimately return to a cooperative way of living. We suggest 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.”
With regard to religious doctrine, with the human condition explained we can understand the more upset people became, the more they needed to try to obey the ‘Godly’ ideals of life that religions taught, but the problem was such condemnation of upset behaviour could be extremely terrorising and oppressive. Obviously what was desperately missing was reconciling understanding of our upset behaviour and the Godly ideals; reconciling understanding of the human condition in fact—which is exactly what Jeremy presents us with. So no longer does anybody have to be terrorised by religious dogma. They can understand what such religious doctrine was providing (even though it could be hurtful) and the great role religions played in humanity’s journey (see FAQ 6.3 about understanding religion).
Ricky Hawkins
This is incredible. I’m on part 2 & I’ll be listening to this again as it’s a more credible belief than what we’ve been told.
WTM Admin
That’s wonderful Ricky as we do encourage people to listen to THE Interview more than once as this critical new science presents a paradigm shift in how we understand humans. It gives you the ability, for the first time ever, to understand every aspect of human behaviour in yourself and in everyone else with 100% clarity and confidence. The explanation will change how you view humans, and most importantly yourself, literally overnight—and your behaviour will change naturally as a result, and just as quickly, see FAQ 1.5 ‘Why is this explanation important to my life’.

Albert Bunat, PNG
I am watching this interview with great excitement and a relief to many of our current chaos we can now overcome. Takes me back to books I have read in self management, human behavior, of great thinkers in the likes of Plato, Karl Marx, Charles Darwin etc. changing human way of thinking about things will solve many life’s issues.
WTM Admin
Yes Albert it is exciting to finally see a path that will bring profound relief to our current chaos and solve the issues caused by the human condition. 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? Our endeavours in philosophy, psychology and biology have failed, until now, to provide a truthful, real, fully accountable, genuinely clarifying explanation. 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. You might find FAQ 1.13 ‘Is this original or new?’ interesting and also Jeremy’s Video/Freedom Essay 4 which expands further (than what he discusses in THE Interview) on other thinkers, both ancient and contemporary, who have recognised the instinct and intellect elements involved in creating the human condition.
Cathy Sue Carpenter
I think this is a critical piece of awareness that can assist many in letting go of guilt and shame and allowing them to accept themselves as the evolving beings they are. The truth is we are endless eternal love and can indeed return to the utopia from whence we came. Let’s go!!
WTM Admin
Thank you for your comment Cathy! Yes with the human condition now solved, and the shame and guilt we’ve felt for having corrupted our all-loving instinctive self or soul explained away, we can legitimately return to that loving “utopia from whence we came”! ‘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 (FAQ 6.5 which explains this critical difference between Jeremy’s work and the new age movement). At last we can understand the real reason why humans’ selfish and unloving behaviour became an unavoidable, indeed necessary, part of human life. And, by explaining the very good reason why our intellect had to defy our loving instincts, it makes redundant our defensive behaviours of anger, egocentricity and alienation, allowing us to end the perpetuation of our destructive behaviour — it couldn’t be a bigger breakthrough!
Çedric
What makes you feel guilty? and what corruption are you referring to.
WTM Admin
Thank you for your questions Cedric. The subject of the human condition has historically been completely off-limits and so our minds do initially struggle to take in the information, but with a little bit of perseverence, it does all become clear.
For example, as is explained in THE Interview, all humans are born with a loving and compassionate soul or instinctive self but we now variously suffer from a psychosis or psychological upset brought about by the conscious mind’s necessary yet corrupting search for knowledge. So what makes us feel guilty is when the conscious mind started experimenting with self management, our instincts in effect ‘criticised’ that behaviour because it deviated from their naturally selected orientations; and our mind, unable to explain why we had to experiment with these non-instinctive behaviours, felt insecure in the face of the criticism from our instincts. We felt ‘guilty’. And then we became defensive and retaliatory towards our instinctive self, which made us feel in more guilty, so it was a very compounding situation. So our instinctive self or soul became corrupted. However what is so significant is we can now see that this corruption was for a positive reason, namely our conscious search for understanding, particularly self-understanding, and a psychosis can be healed with understanding! We highly recommend Jeremy’s presentation that follows THE Interview titled The Great Guilt, which explains just how guilty and ashamed we have been of corrupting our original instinctive self or soul and illustrates just how all-clarifying, all-redeeming, all-reconciling, all-healing and all-liberating this understanding is!!
As the distinguished psychiatrist Professor Harry Prosen (who wrote the Introduction to Jeremy’s definitive book FREEDOM) wrote : “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” (see FAQ 1.34). Jeremy writes more about the real therapy of the human condition that now becomes possible in his forthcoming Freedom Essay 64 (an outline of which is here on our website).

Modupe Afolabi
Very interesting indeed. But the heart of men is desperately wicked who can know it?
WTM Admin
Thank you for your comment Modupe and the absolutely wonderful news is with this critical new science we can now know the heart of humans is loving and selfless!! What biologist 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 important about this is that it finally explains the real reason for why our “wicked” behaviour became an unavoidable, indeed necessary, part of human life and by so doing establishes our fundamental goodness. Part 3 especially 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 significantly, as Part 4 explains a psychosis can be healed with understanding, so our psychologically upset human nature is fixable or changeable—not unchangeable. Importantly, this understanding of why we became upset does not 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, see our 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?’.

Ur right. I was amazed with the interview.
I’ve not been able to watch the videos yet, but Im going to as soon as I’m off work. The little that I was able to watch was AMAZING.
I’m thrilled that this has happened in my life time. I’m free at last. I want to listen to the interview again for the third time.
This is just understanding choice and control.
We suggest that as you digest the instinct vs intellect explanation you will realise that what this understanding explains is why any individual chooses to act in the way they do i.e. why we make the selfish and aggressive choices we do. We can now understand that because individuals have different encounters with the human condition through the circumstances of their lives and upbringing, they will have various levels of psychological upset, and as a result there will be different levels of need for reinforcement and anger and alienation, and it is this that explains why individuals make the choices they do. Importantly, having this understanding is not about ‘controlling’ our impulses or choices, but through bringing understanding to the source of humans’ selfish and aggressive behaviour, it gives us the power to ameliorate and thus subside and ultimately eliminate it.
Amazing I saw an add on YouTube and the words just jumped out over every add I normally scroll past the words just make sure you don’t miss this JUST LISTEN TO THIS, hope many others do just as I did, 👌❤️
It’s very helpful and problem solving for every human being in the world

Incredible
Makes perfect sense to me.
I have this book, I read it quite a long time ago. I found it very interesting and fascinating.
Scarcity of narural resources and food due to fires and droughts caused humanity to become competitive. Fearing for ones survival and the inability to provide for one’s family the necessities is the source for competition and territorial wars. After so many generations of this we forget thaat cooperation was the origin of our survival. Takeaway the food and habitat of the bonobos and they will war with other tribes eventually too.
We suggest that the more you digest Jeremy Griffith’s ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation, the more you will realise how realistic and accountable it actually is in getting to the source of all humanity’s psychological upset. As THE Interview explains we do have completely loving and selfless instincts as a result of the nurturing love-indoctrination process explained in Part 3 (not, as is also mentioned in Part 3, through ‘group selection’, which is what you are suggesting; the idea that cooperation emerged as a group survival strategy is flawed biology because the reality is that any selfless behaviour will always be relentlessly selected against), and that our greed and conflict isn’t the product of limited resources, but a psychosis resulting from a clash between our emerging conscious mind and those pre-established instincts. Selfishness, which is what fighting over resources is, is a symptom of the underlying, deep insecurity in humans caused by the human condition, so if we solve that condition we resolve any competition over resources.
Wow! Looking forward.....
I was amazed by the interview.
This is a very eye-opening video that everyone needs to watch. Great changes are on the way.
I just started listening, but I’m fascinated but just what I’ve heard about the human condition 🇺🇸
Of course repair is the way to go.
Yes, but what has been needed is a change of heart. You might be interested in chapter 9:9 of FREEDOM titled ‘How the Transformed Way of Living will quickly repair the world’. It is all clearly described there, where he refers to Australia’s greatest educator Sir James Darling, his headmaster at Geelong Grammar School, talking about humanity’s great ‘change of heart’. Jeremy writes, “while it will take time, in fact, a few generations, for humans to sufficiently absorb the understanding of the human condition to the degree needed for our underlying insecurity to be fully ameliorated—and thus the need for some artificial reinforcement from materialism, and some artificial relief through escapism, self-distraction and sexual adventure, etc, etc, to completely disappear—once you adopt the Transformed State, while you haven’t eliminated the insecure state of the human condition within yourself, you have completely changed your mind’s focus from living an ego-embattled, selfish life to living selflessly; you have had the ‘change of heart’, the fundamental change of direction, that is so urgently needed to fix the world.”

Thankyou so much for making me understand how we as a whole are learning the whole human condition
Powerful
Super interesting. I need to focus and concentrate to understand it all but makes total sense. To be shared and to be re listened to get the full meaning.
Is true
Very interesting and worthwhile listening to with an open mind. However, seem to be quite a few basic assumptions and gaps whch do not fit with the explanation of how we came to be in the modern western conflictual world we are in today. Could also attribute the harmony of the original state to what Griffiths describes as the selfless loving nurturing indoctrination grounded on women and matriarchy setting the tone of home, hearth and community. When men used their special skills and attributes which were very useful and appropriate for hunting and providing and started exercising the same combative approaches in the social arena context - things went basdly wrong. This became further skewed when when capitalism/colonialism fueled the fire of male dominated ambition - why else would they work so hard i these types of society to deny women property rights, the vote, and want to keep them submissive? Different countries and their inter-relationship culture and ethics - from government level to individual - probably lie along a spectrum of how abusive and exploitive they are. They say the most civilised and harmonious societies are still those that respect women and take care of children and the elderly (ie co-operative and loving). This could be another valid interpretation of the same biological investigations. However- I am very grateful that Jeremy Griffiths has opened this dialogue and I am sure his ideas will start pathing the path for a better future for humanity. We can’t keep going the way we have been any longer.will
Thanks for your thoughts Esther. We suggest that as you digest the ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation more, you will see that it actually provides a very profound explanation for the cause of men’s psychologically upset angry, egocentic and alienated condition; more so, we respectfully suggest, than a misuse of hunting skills.With regard to the war between the sexes, to quote molecular biologist Dr Anna Fitzgerald from her commendation of Jeremy’s 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. And, as Jeremy says in concluding chapter 8:11B of his book FREEDOM, “With understanding of the human condition now found, men and women can at last stand side by side—the ‘war of the sexes’ can finally be resolved. Yes, the human journey can have the happy ending we always hoped it would.”I am very impressed to learn of such biological research on the human race.
Still a little confused. But very interested in learning more.
Hi Carolyn. Shedding light on the human condition represents a huge paradigm shift for us all, so there is a lot to take in - the key to this process is to take your time and rewatch presentations. After watching (and re-watching) THE Interview, we recommend that people go to top of our World Transformation Movement homepage at HumanCondition.com, where it states ‘WHAT NEXT after watching THE Interview?’ and guides you through the steps to pursue your interest.

At 70 years old Now, and having spent a life seaking answers to the why we are what we are and why we do the things we do that causes greif and hardship in our world I am flabbergasted at the simplicity of this answer. Amazed and relieved at the answer. Thank you for the answers you are sharing. I feel like a huge boulder has been removed from my consciousness. I want to here more.
very interesting and thought provoking interview that gives some explanations to how we as humans have developed as a species
I searched for much of my life trying to understand why humans were made to believe that we were inherently bad and sinful. I found many of your own answers of the course in religious dogma. I always thought the human race wouldn’t have reached to this point in our evolution if we were evil. Mothers must nurture their young yes and so must fathers because we are human. Fatherhood is just as important for us to evolve into this new age. I also must add why I say this . Parents are the children’s best guardians. Yes different but needed. Also I am questioning your social understanding of what you said about the left. The left side of political society seems more like what we need to break away for greed and into a more democratic human existence of sharing. I would love you to talk more as why you see it differently.
Thanks Rose. While religions contained extraordinary truth about human life, it was 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 here and his book FREEDOM. That is the great breakthrough presented here.With regard to politics, it does take some time to get your head around the paradox of the human condition in order to understand the roles of the left and right wings. We recommend Jeremy Griffith’s book, Death by Dogma, which is freely available here on our homepage. 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. Which brings us to the final paradox of the human condition: through the right wing upholding the selfishness needed to persevere with the search for knowledge, we all now become left-wing (as it were, although the truth is that the whole ugly business of politics is now brought to a close). We also recommend our FAQs on politics.We need insight and hope. May this be what we need right now.
The greatest eye opener I have ever come across in this our wretched greedy broken fractured troubled world 🌎! Amazing exposition by a remarkable human being
Wonderful break through or another mistaken idea?
Hi Sseru we appreciate your interest. As our FAQ 1.9 ‘Should people be sceptical’ explains, the astonishing claims being made about Jeremy Griffith’s work do warrant initial scepticism however they all withstand scrutiny as what he presents is 100% logic. People find once they begin exploring the explanation the more they do the more they realise the claims are actually true, and in time become appreciated for their forthright honesty in indicating where the solution to our problems lies — as the commendations Jeremy’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”. So we encourage you to watch THE Interview and judge for yourself!
Very interesting and uplifting!
I know what I have seen on TV and heard couldn’t be happening,so I am so glad to see the science behind The Human Condition.I know that everything that’s going on in the world is for a reason because some people are definitely living in the psychosis part and they are the dangerous ones.Thank you😉
Yes Shannon being able to understand the human condition brings our minds the greatest relief because we have the reason for all the chaos and suffering, which at times is so unthinkable it is hard to believe. However now with this explanation we have the ability, for the first time ever, to understand every aspect of human behaviour (see FAQ 1.5 ‘Why is this important to our lives' and FAQ 1.6 'Why this solves everything’). This critical new science presents a huge paradigm shift in our thinking so it takes time to fully absorb just how universal the human condition is. As Jeremy Griffith explains, humans are born with loving moral instincts but we all now variously suffer from a psychosis due to the human condition caused by the conscious mind’s necessary search for knowledge. In the extreme, that psychologically conflicted upset state produces extremely destructive behaviour, or what has historically been called ‘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?’. We encourage you to pursue you interest Shannon.
Watched video and was very interested in what I saw and I would like to know more
Hi Marion, it’s wonderful 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 at HumanCondition.com, it states ‘WHAT NEXT after watching THE Interview?’ and guides you through the steps to pursue your interest. This includes our other Introductory Videos and subscribing to our mailing list where you will receive one email per week and occasional News Flashes.

It was fascinating, listening to your interaction.I will be processing this for some time. I am going to add this to what is important for I to follow until I can wrap my head around something. This sounds so small to me then it seems so big. I have been gifted to live in an unusual place. Not so much city energy. I have been reading a lot about narcissism. I disagree with much of the opinions as to why it is becomming so common. More commom in cities. I feel it is fear driven. Would fear also be part of the human condition? For every person who feels like going out and kicking butt. Aren’t there 500 aggression scared people. Add alcohol that changes. Which leads me to trust how do these scared people “come out” they dont Trust anymore. Starting when Bonobos are nurturing thier babies with to the fullest these kids were coming home to empty houses, or worse angry older siblings who take it out on them. No bonobo families. Working families, scared, tired, angry. How does it come together ❤️ 🤔 Now? Thankyou I like this. I want to hear your book on internet. Be free, be true to you! ❤️
That is wonderful you found THE Interview so fascinating Christine. It does present a new way of thinking about ourselves and the world which does take time to fully absorb and process and yes you can listen to Jeremy Griffith’s definitive book FREEDOM on our website here where you can see all the formats that are freely available including an audio book!In terms of how this explains narcissism what we learn from THE Interview is all humans are born with loving moral instincts but we all now variously suffer from a psychosis due to the human condition and, in the extreme, that psychologically conflicted upset state produces psychopathic behaviour. 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?’ To read about the psychology behind the creation of psychopathic, ‘power-addicted’ and narcissistic behaviour, see chapter 8:16D of FREEDOM. Also, Jeremy further elaborates on this need for power, control and domination in Freedom Essay 62 where he gives a full presentation of the entire human journey and how understanding of the human condition now makes possible the real therapy and rehabilitation of the human race.THE Interview also explains the human condition is the most terrifying of subjects because it’s the issue self, of whether we are fundamentally good or bad. So yes we are extremely fearful of this subject, so much so, as Jeremy explains in Part 2, “we’ve had to live in denial of our corrupted, psychologically upset condition while we couldn’t explain it”. Thankfully, now with the human condition now safely defended we can acknowledge it and in fact cope with the confronting nature of having our upset state exposed. For example with this compassionate explanation we can now appreciate humanity’s necessary preoccupation with finding knowledge compromised our ability to nurture and the terrible guilt that parents have felt for not being able to fully nurture their children is explained away. We suggest you will find the follow FAQs most revealing and helpful in terms of your question “How does it come together”: FAQ 1.39 ‘How are we supposed to cope with all the heretical truths brought to light by the explanation of the human condition? / What are some of the heresies that are now safe and necessary to admit?’ and 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?’Kompliceret men virkeligt den rette virkelighed [Complicated but truly the right reality (tr. from Danish)]
Thank you very much for your comment Jan and we agree this explanation introduces “truly the right reality”. Part 1 of THE Interview does present the core explanation as quickly and simply as possible. However opening up the underlying issue in all human affairs of the human condition does mean that there are several absolutely critical questions to be answered, which make up Parts 2, 3 & 4 so there is certainly a lot to digest but the key ‘instinct vs intellect’ concept is very simple. Essentially, when we humans developed a conscious mind some 2 million years ago, a battle unavoidably developed between it and our already established instincts. The result of this conflict between our instinct and intellect was that we became psychologically defensive, angry, alienated and egocentric — the upset state we refer to as the human condition. But now that we can explain and understand this conflict, all those insecure, defensive behaviours are obsoleted, brought to an end, and we free ourselves from the human condition (see FAQ 1.3 ‘What is the explanation of the human condition?’). Also, as is explained in THE Interview, 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 subject can make us think that what is being presented is complicated but with more digestion it becomes straightforward as it is all logical explanation. We do encourage people to watch THE Interview a few times to become more familiar with what’s presented and from there watch the next introductory video The Great Guilt. In this presentation Jeremy Griffith gives an astonishingly interesting and important description of The Great Burden Of Guilt that has finally been lifted from the human race, and the ‘Deaf Effect’ its lifting typically causes us to initially experience. We hope you persevere Jan and if you need any encouragement just read the ecstatic responses to THE Interview at the top of our homepage and also the many commendations Jeremy’s work has received from a broad range of eminent scientists and thought leaders on our Reviews & Commendations page.If you are not already aware we do have many translations freely available on our Translations page. This includes Dutch translations of THE Interview and Jeremy’s definitive book FREEDOM along with other publications. People can also watch all our videos using the ‘cc’ (closed captions) or subtitles function in their native language.i was thrilled by this truth thanks for sharing
its very important for everyone to listen to the truth about the human condition as an obligation to improve our relationship between living characters conditions in life..
Love this
Never could comprehend “original sin”.
Hi Carolyn, great to have your interest! Yes for us to comprehend “original sin” ultimately science had to explain our less than ideal condition which Jeremy Griffith presents with his ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation of the human condition. As he explains in THE Interview, 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 becoming psychologically upset or ‘sinful’ or ‘evil’. However, significantly we can now understand, from scientific first principles, that ‘Adam and Eve’ were ‘good’ to search for knowledge, not bad or ‘sinful’; we humans are actually the absolute heroes of the whole story! This lifts the burden of guilt from humanity as we have the full compassionate truth about our upset state so it couldn’t be a bigger breakthrough! As Craig Conway exclaims after Jeremy explains this: “Yeah, I hadn’t realised that, but it is true, I mean Adam and Eve taking the fruit from the tree of knowledge is a metaphor for becoming conscious, and then they were thrown out of the Garden of Eden of original innocence because it appeared that they were bad for doing so, but now thankfully we can explain that they, we humans, weren’t bad at all; in fact, we are the heroes of the story of life on Earth!”. So Jeremy’s work reconciles religion and science by bringing biological understanding to pre-scientific concepts which is explained in our FAQ 1.15 ‘If this is a biological explanation of the human condition why are the terms ‘good’ and ‘evil’ used’.
Much needed information for we all. Resignation with my spirit was strong. I will be ordering all his books. Jo Pratt
Please read, our civilization can be helped. For ever the sake of all man kind.
Exactly what I need.
Have avoided this talk for months but hey ho let’s give it a go !
Good on you Ben! Your avoidance is understandable as 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 going anywhere near this fundamental question creates a resistance within us. This is explained in THE Interview and it is helpful to be aware of this as it can make accessing all that is explained a little difficult in just one viewing (FAQ 1.16 explains this initial ‘deaf effect’). However you can see from all the thousands of ecstatic responses to THE Interview (at the top of our homepage) it is well worth persevering!! Sending you all our encouragement and you might find our reply to Kk below helpful as it summarises the key concept that THE Interview presents.
I kept hoping someone would be willing to explain something to help me understand the insanity
Hi Angel, by “the insanity” we assume you are referring to the terrifying state of the world and that is exactly what Jeremy Griffith explains and solves in THE Interview. It isn’t clear if you have watched THE Interview but what Jeremy explains introduces a new paradigm that dares to confront the historically off-limits subject of the human condition so it can take more than one viewing to fully understand what he presents. He 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 our species and our world are 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 Jeremy has delivered in this instinct vs intellect understanding of the human condition. See FAQ 1.6 ‘Why does understanding solves everything’. Also, we suggest you will find our response to Kk below most helpful.
“To live right and meaningful”
Good info!
I’m curious
We welcome your curiosity Kk! The best place to start is to watch THE Interview, in which Jeremy Griffith presents his breakthrough ‘instinct v intellect’ explanation of the human condition. Part 1 of this interview presents the explanation as quickly and simply as possible and FAQ 1.3 presents a very brief summary of the key ‘instinct vs intellect’ concept. Essentially, when we humans developed a conscious mind some 2 million years ago, a battle unavoidably developed between it and our already established instincts. The result of this conflict between our instinct and intellect was that we became psychologically defensive, angry, alienated and egocentric — the upset state we refer to as the human condition. But now that we can explain and understand this conflict, all those insecure, defensive behaviours are obsoleted, brought to an end, and we free ourselves from the human condition. Happy exploring Kk!
This is surely a life changing book, the book facilities the release of the human potential by transforming us (humans) from a hateful, lazy state to a loving, joyful hardworking and selfishlessly contributing (helping humanity to live in a continuously conducive and sustainable environment) state.
I did biology at school but never considered this. This is great stuff for all humans
And where do u think GOD will be in all this He will change your plans and your attitude
Hi Ellen, what is presented here is a scientific explanation of the human condition. However, Jeremy’s work doesn’t contradict a belief in God or Christianity. 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. Although this is science, it is based on a Godly nature in the sense of recognising, like all the great religions do, that we humans once lived in a pre-human-condition-afflicted state of original innocence where we were perfectly instinctively orientated to the cooperative, selfless, loving, ‘Godly’ ideals of life; ‘God’ being explained in as being the integrative meaning of life; please see our FAQs about religion.
I’m excited can’t wait to read it

Thought provoking
I needed to hear this
I’m grateful to know the unknown. Thanks
Revolutionary. Simply.
Transformative; reviving the innocence of childhood dreams where happiness lives and thrives. Sincere thankyou for opening this gateway we forgot we need it to survive.
I see the good intentions in what you are trying to achieve. But your views are inherently flawed. Your ideas about competivness being a flawed explanation for the human condition are based on patriarchal ideas. Untill we dismantle the patriarchal power structures the change you wish to see will never happen. If anything, what you say perpetuates the patriarchal power By saying the way we nuture children teaches this flawed idea of competivness puts responsibility on women. Who are still the primary care givers in most societies. It is the patriarchy who controls society they are the perpetrators of this idea that we are biologically competivne. If we are to work co opertively discussions about the human condition need to happen with other peoples contributions. No just some cis White guy being a patriarchal rescuer. You need to include women and people from different backgrounds and ethnicities before you can claim to have all the answers.
Hi Harley, 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. The female perspective is certainly not missing from Jeremy Griffith’s treatise and both the male and female contribution to the human journey are fully explained and equally acknowledged. In fact, matriarchy is finally given the recognition and honour it deserves with Jeremy’s explanation of how it was women’s maternal love that gave us our moral soul and created humanity no less! (This love-indoctrination process is further explained in Freedom Essay 21 and fully explained chapter 5 of his definitive book FREEDOM.) And what is astonishing is that despite our psychologically upset condition this biological treatise establishes all humans are equally good, worthwhile, meaningful and wonderful regardless of gender, age, race, religion, etc. See biologist Dr Anna Fitzgerald’s video commendation about how this explanation is the real liberation of women in Video/Freedom Essay 9 and also our FAQs on men and women.Given your criticisms, we also recommend Jeremy’s analysis of left-wing thinking, including Critical Race Theory, in his book Death by Dogma, in which he 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.You might also like to read our FAQ 9.1 about how this 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 and Refentse Molosiwa in Video/Freedom Essay 8.I AM SO HUMBLED ITS SO EYE OPENING
I think this is indeed a great discovery, if not the greatest. Like any pessimist (or soul fallen deep into the human condition issue), I need to make good use of the cognitive pragmatic inquiry here and not walk on the enthusiast thin wire related to this discovery: religion will not like this - because they need people to think they are bad to go to curch to get forgivness, politicians will not agree with this - only check the current state of the Unated States politics - all republicans think all democrats are phaedofiles and viceversa and public sphere is too cough and in a hurry to fall into the division created by one or the other side of the aisle. However, once we get over this madhouse party (let’s hope without a war), people will finally have a chance to let it sink in. Noetheless, I’ve ordered the book and will study it from cover to cover. I’ve already read online part of the introduction, and to be fair, this introduction is one of the best introductions I’ve read in a book. One of the Best with a capital B. Thank you for your work Dr Griffith. And thank you for working to make it visible.
Hi Alexandru, thank you so much for your enthusiasm for and curiosity about Jeremy Griffith’s breakthrough insight into the human condition. And we absolutely agree that everyone should take their time to pragmatically digest this new paradigm of thinking, because what we think you will discover as you do so is that, to address your intial concerns, Jeremy’s explanation actually brings deep understanding to all aspects of human life, including both left- and right-wing worldviews. He acknowledges the destructive aspects of right-wing behaviour while also addressing the limitations of the left, particularly its suppression of the individual freedom needed to gain self-knowledge. His insights ultimately transcend divisive politics, as explained in our FAQ on politics.Similarly, far from challenging or undermining religion, Jeremy’s work fulfills what all the great prophets, and their religious teachings, anticipated – a time when we could finally understand ourselves. This is explained in FAQ 6.3 and further explored in our FAQs on religion.Because this explanation deals with such confronting truths about the human condition, we again emphasise that everyone take their time investigating what’s being presented through our comprehensive, freely available books, videos, essays and other FAQs covering every aspect of Jeremy’s holistic-not-mechanistic, human-condition-confronting-not-avoiding treatise on the human condition, including discussion of politics and religion. You can also use our search facility at www.humancondition.com/ to find where your questions are answered.Very thought provoking. Want to read and study. Thanks

Very interesting. I love educating others. Thanks I can forward your words.
So. Where did our concious mind come from then? How did we develop a psychi? Why did only humans develop this?
Thanks for your questions, Noeline. We thought it worth mentioning even though THE Interview is a summary presentation it does provide references to more comprehensive material where answers to the questions you have asked are presented. 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.But to answer your related questions as succinctly as possible here, one of the great outstanding mysteries of science is ‘What is consciousness, and how did it emerge, and why have only humans achieved full consciousness?’ Jeremy Griffith explains in THE Interview that consciousness simply means being sufficiently aware of how experiences are related to attempt to manage change from a basis of understanding. Clearly while other animals have various levels of ‘awareness’, sentience, none can consciously manage events like humans can, and so they don’t possess fully conscious minds, and therefore won’t suffer from the instinct vs intellect clash that caused the human condition. It is also worth noting that Jeremy explains that the development of consciousness depended on overcoming the competitive, selfish ‘animal condition’ and becoming orientated to selflessness, so if a species is still preoccupied with selfish, competitive dominance, as other animals are, they can’t become fully conscious. He explains that humans were able to overcome the ‘animal condition’ through the process of love-indoctrination that our ape ancestors were able to implement. Being bipedal, they were able to provide intense and prolonged maternal care, which proved the unlocking point for our species to develop our altruistic, moral instinctive self or soul, and our unique consciousness. You can read more about the nurturing-based love-indoctrination process in chapter 5 of Jeremy’s definitive book FREEDOM, and how it liberated consciousness in chapter 6. You can also read summaries of these chapters in Freedom Essays 21 and 24 respectively.Hello Mr. Jeremy Griffith, nice to meet you. The truth is, hardly anyone talks about this topic, and I’m interested in supporting and collaborating on the project. We’ll be in touch, John.
Wow what we needed to hear! Amazing The receipe for every single persons success Truth, Light and the Purpose for all Humans Amen to this pure beautiful understanding and yes to reject all manmade messes that lead to corrupt unnecessary behaviours so sad and manipulative and hurtful Thank God indeed we all know our purpose now let’s act like it and shed the truth on our daily lives and on our generations to come Amen ❤️ Thank you Jeremy this interview was so refreshing and the key to resolving all issues in the world now ❤️ Time to restore our world Amen My heart is happy with the affirmation of our truth ❤️
This is what I’ve been looking for - it makes me feel joyful
Love to watch this! Thank you! 🙏
I would like to have access to freedom the end of the human condition in physical form. I would like to buy it. Where do I go? Thank you.

Awesome. TRUTH
Really enjoyed this discussion.
The Bible gives the best account of the human condition and the solution to the problem.
Thanks for your thoughts, Manitto. Jeremy Griffith’s work brings biological understanding to all those concepts contained in the Bible, which he acknowledges as being a repository of extremely rare denial-free truth, containing all the truth about human life albeit from a pre-scientific view. But 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. What Jeremy is putting forward is that for there to be a fundamental solution to our human situation we had to understand the human condition – humans’ capacity for good and evil – from a biological perspective. You might find our FAQs about religion of interest.
Understanding the human condition! Thank you!
Thank you. This whole understanding is true to me! My heart has expanded with joy and hope of the truth of being conquered by LOVE Keep your love eyes open
Thank you Carol! It is wonderful how much Jeremy Griffith’s explanation is resonating with you. What is so significant about this explanation is it allows us to ‘love our dark side’. So at last we can return to our instinctive loving way of being as that depended on bringing biological understanding to what love is which is unconditional selflessness (see FAQ 5.3), which is a truth we couldn’t safely admit until we could explain the human condition—explain why our human behaviour has been so unloving and selfish. 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 in THE Interview. This reconciling understanding brings about the transformation of the world not by imposing idealism, but by bringing loving understanding to realism in each and every one of us and so yes we are “conquered by love” as you so beautifully say!!

Merci, chacun de nous a besoin de faire un travail de transformation sur soi [Thank you, each of us needs to work on transforming ourselves (tr. from French)]
At last with the human condition solved Flora we have the biological explanation to truly transform ourselves and the world! In a nutshell, we can now understand that our behaviour has been driven by a deep insecurity about our fundamental goodness, 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. This is the rapidly transforming effect of being able to understand the human condition. Our FAQs 1.4 to 1.6 are helpful as they talk about the far-reaching practical applications of this understanding. For the most detailed explanation of the transformation that is now possible we recommend Jeremy Griffith’s two seminal presentations on the topic: The Great Transformation and Sermon On The Beach.

YES Myriam we do have an Italian translation of THE Interview!! It is freely available along with all our other translations on our Translations page. These translations also appear on many of our over 80 WTM Centre websites (see FAQ 3.3 ‘How do I contact my nearest WTM Centre?’).Also people can watch THE Interview (and all the videos on our website) using the closed captions or subtitles function in their native language. The subtitles icon ‘cc’ is at the bottom of the video player, and you can choose languages using the ‘cog’ setting next to it.A fabulously simple explanation to a complex problem.
Thank you, what Jeremy said in the interview speaks to the core of me, I Am a true believer in compassionate, collaborative, loving living , we are all a family in essence. I Am ready to claim and allow my freedom with complete psychological soul healing through the knowledge and explanation in this book, as well as looking forward to fully realizing my dream to be living in a community where this is a reality; And that it can be expand to as many people as possible and in as many languages as possible.
We agree Tereza that what Jeremy says speaks to our core! As he explains in THE Interview all humans are born with loving moral instincts (not competitive and selfish animal instincts) but we all now variously suffer from a psychosis brought about by the conscious mind’s necessary yet corrupting search for knowledge. So at last we can understand the real reason why humans’ selfish and unloving behaviour became an unavoidable, indeed necessary, part of human life. And, by explaining the very good reason why our intellect had to defy our loving instincts, it makes redundant our defensive behaviours of anger, egocentricity and alienation. We had to lose ourselves to find ourselves! So with the human condition now solved we can legitimately heal and return to our “compassionate, collaborative, loving” 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 (FAQ 6.5 which explains this critical difference between Jeremy’s work and the new age movement). As Jeremy says at the beginning of Part 2: “While we are all inevitably variously angry, egocentric and alienated from our different encounters with humanity’s heroic battle to find knowledge, ultimately self-knowledge, understanding of our corrupted condition, we can now know that every human is fundamentally good. And this ability to understand and know there was a good reason why the human race became psychologically upset, is the key, relieving understanding we have been in search of ever since we became conscious some 2 million years ago and our corrupted condition emerged. That is the key relief for our mind—being finally able to understand that we are good and not bad is what brings us the greatest psychological relief of all.”
it is just simply mind blowing. I have never heard, read and now even see something been explained so crystal clear about our deteriorating stage of human condition its origin and solution in my entire life of 56yrs in this universe call earth. WHOW WHOW WHOW WOW An unexplainable excitement is looming...WHOW.
Very refreshing insight. Canada
If it was shorter I would read the book. Cannot you. Maybe publish it in a= shorter version. Oh well probably not. Humble? Knot. Betsi, Geoff and Todd. Stamford, CT.
Hi Betsi, while great care has been taken to present the explanation as quickly and simply as possible (which is done in Part 1 of THE Interview), opening up the underlying issue in all human affairs of the human condition does mean that there are several absolutely critical questions to be answered, which make up Parts 2, 3 & 4 of THE Interview. However our FAQ 1.3 'What is the explanation of the human condition?' presents a very brief summary of the key ‘instinct vs intellect’ concept. Essentially, when we humans developed a conscious mind some 2 million years ago, a battle unavoidably developed between it and our already established instincts. The result of this conflict between our instinct and intellect was that we became psychologically defensive, angry, alienated and egocentric — the upset state we refer to as the human condition. But now that we can explain and understand this conflict, all those insecure, defensive behaviours are obsoleted, brought to an end, and we free ourselves from the human condition. So, in a world fast going crazy from the effects of the human condition we now have the means to end human suffering at its source and unite the human race so this couldn’t be a bigger breakthrough (see FAQ 1.6 'Why does understanding solve everything?'). The World Transformation Movement is a global not-for-profit movement and we make all our material and publications completely free on our website.
Let’s see what your saying.
Hurrah!
This is not biblically based. So where does God fit into the human condition?
We certainly respect people’s religious views and thank you for your comment Pat. It is important to mention that Jeremy Griffith’s work doesn’t ignore or contradict a belief in God or religion — it simply brings biological understanding to all those pre-scientific concepts. Although this is science, it is based on a ‘Godly’ nature in the sense of recognising, like all the great religions do, that we humans once lived in a pre-human-condition-afflicted state of original innocence where we were perfectly instinctively orientated to the cooperative, selfless, loving, ‘Godly’ ideals of life; ‘God’ being explained as being the personification of integrative meaning of life. This is mentioned in THE Interview and the audience is referred to chapter 4 of Jeremy’s definitive book FREEDOM. This is also summarised in our FAQ 6.2 ‘What is God’ and you might find all our FAQs about religion of interest, especially FAQ 6.3 ‘Does this understanding undermine religion’.
Very interesting. I just wish our governments would listen to this documentary and see how after they would think about there ways ,thinking and actions,they choose that everyone else has to live in their decisions, I believe this world is just run undoubtedly on 3 causes of war and sadness,they are,religion, money and power.and the most important thing is in my opinion and truly the most important of all ,nobody at all has the right to kill and dictate any human being, though’s two top points are basics to be the 1st rule in life from day 1,and respecting each other, respect other people 1st and help everyone to the best possible you can ,as,hopefully not ,but we all need help sometimes in our lives that we can help each another when needed,.we all can do it,you know you can,it would be a better world, and I’m sure the whole world would agree, what a better beautiful world that we could all live in all together. Simple really.
Hi Mike, what is so extraordinary about Jeremy Griffith’s instinct vs intellect explanation of the human condition is that it defends our so-called ‘dark side’. We can 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. So all the problems in the world like war and the need for power are all symptoms of this deeper underlying battle. Now that we can understand this conflict all those insecure behaviours, are obsoleted, brought to an end, and we free ourselves from that state and can legitimately return to a cooperative way of living. We suggest 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.”With regard to religious doctrine, with the human condition explained we can understand the more upset people became, the more they needed to try to obey the ‘Godly’ ideals of life that religions taught, but the problem was such condemnation of upset behaviour could be extremely terrorising and oppressive. Obviously what was desperately missing was reconciling understanding of our upset behaviour and the Godly ideals; reconciling understanding of the human condition in fact—which is exactly what Jeremy presents us with. So no longer does anybody have to be terrorised by religious dogma. They can understand what such religious doctrine was providing (even though it could be hurtful) and the great role religions played in humanity’s journey (see FAQ 6.3 about understanding religion).This is incredible. I’m on part 2 & I’ll be listening to this again as it’s a more credible belief than what we’ve been told.
That’s wonderful Ricky as we do encourage people to listen to THE Interview more than once as this critical new science presents a paradigm shift in how we understand humans. It gives you the ability, for the first time ever, to understand every aspect of human behaviour in yourself and in everyone else with 100% clarity and confidence. The explanation will change how you view humans, and most importantly yourself, literally overnight—and your behaviour will change naturally as a result, and just as quickly, see FAQ 1.5 ‘Why is this explanation important to my life’.

We need more stuff like this
I am watching this interview with great excitement and a relief to many of our current chaos we can now overcome. Takes me back to books I have read in self management, human behavior, of great thinkers in the likes of Plato, Karl Marx, Charles Darwin etc. changing human way of thinking about things will solve many life’s issues.
Yes Albert it is exciting to finally see a path that will bring profound relief to our current chaos and solve the issues caused by the human condition. 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? Our endeavours in philosophy, psychology and biology have failed, until now, to provide a truthful, real, fully accountable, genuinely clarifying explanation. 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. You might find FAQ 1.13 ‘Is this original or new?’ interesting and also Jeremy’s Video/Freedom Essay 4 which expands further (than what he discusses in THE Interview) on other thinkers, both ancient and contemporary, who have recognised the instinct and intellect elements involved in creating the human condition.
I think this is a critical piece of awareness that can assist many in letting go of guilt and shame and allowing them to accept themselves as the evolving beings they are. The truth is we are endless eternal love and can indeed return to the utopia from whence we came. Let’s go!!
Thank you for your comment Cathy! Yes with the human condition now solved, and the shame and guilt we’ve felt for having corrupted our all-loving instinctive self or soul explained away, we can legitimately return to that loving “utopia from whence we came”! ‘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 (FAQ 6.5 which explains this critical difference between Jeremy’s work and the new age movement). At last we can understand the real reason why humans’ selfish and unloving behaviour became an unavoidable, indeed necessary, part of human life. And, by explaining the very good reason why our intellect had to defy our loving instincts, it makes redundant our defensive behaviours of anger, egocentricity and alienation, allowing us to end the perpetuation of our destructive behaviour — it couldn’t be a bigger breakthrough!
What makes you feel guilty? and what corruption are you referring to.
Thank you for your questions Cedric. The subject of the human condition has historically been completely off-limits and so our minds do initially struggle to take in the information, but with a little bit of perseverence, it does all become clear.For example, as is explained in THE Interview, all humans are born with a loving and compassionate soul or instinctive self but we now variously suffer from a psychosis or psychological upset brought about by the conscious mind’s necessary yet corrupting search for knowledge. So what makes us feel guilty is when the conscious mind started experimenting with self management, our instincts in effect ‘criticised’ that behaviour because it deviated from their naturally selected orientations; and our mind, unable to explain why we had to experiment with these non-instinctive behaviours, felt insecure in the face of the criticism from our instincts. We felt ‘guilty’. And then we became defensive and retaliatory towards our instinctive self, which made us feel in more guilty, so it was a very compounding situation. So our instinctive self or soul became corrupted. However what is so significant is we can now see that this corruption was for a positive reason, namely our conscious search for understanding, particularly self-understanding, and a psychosis can be healed with understanding! We highly recommend Jeremy’s presentation that follows THE Interview titled The Great Guilt, which explains just how guilty and ashamed we have been of corrupting our original instinctive self or soul and illustrates just how all-clarifying, all-redeeming, all-reconciling, all-healing and all-liberating this understanding is!!As the distinguished psychiatrist Professor Harry Prosen (who wrote the Introduction to Jeremy’s definitive book FREEDOM) wrote : “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” (see FAQ 1.34). Jeremy writes more about the real therapy of the human condition that now becomes possible in his forthcoming Freedom Essay 64 (an outline of which is here on our website).This is a great interview.

Uplifting exciting I am living a guilt free life from this moment, & that’s just the beginning. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Very interesting indeed. But the heart of men is desperately wicked who can know it?
Thank you for your comment Modupe and the absolutely wonderful news is with this critical new science we can now know the heart of humans is loving and selfless!! What biologist 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 important about this is that it finally explains the real reason for why our “wicked” behaviour became an unavoidable, indeed necessary, part of human life and by so doing establishes our fundamental goodness. Part 3 especially 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 significantly, as Part 4 explains a psychosis can be healed with understanding, so our psychologically upset human nature is fixable or changeable—not unchangeable. Importantly, this understanding of why we became upset does not 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, see our 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?’.
Sounds fascinating, I want to learn more! Thank you.
Absolutely amazing
This interview was very interesting and when you listen to it, it explains everything and makes sense, opened my eyes
Amazing stuff
Exciting...
