Comments on THE Interview

Great to have your interest D B. As THE Interview explains unable to confront the human condition, science has been mechanistic and reductionist, and what’s more, has denied the existence of our psychologically troubled human condition, blaming our selfish behaviour on ‘savage instincts’ within us – see FAQ 1.2 ‘How does science currently explain the human condition?’ And that is where the human race has been stalled, waiting in an increasingly distressed state for the real explanation for our psychologically troubled human condition that will finally make sense of the riddle of human life. That is, until now—because that human-mind-liberating, psychosis-relieving REAL explanation has at last been delivered with Jeremy Griffith’s ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation, see FAQ 1.3 ‘What is Jeremy Griffith’s explanation of the human condition’! And yes this new interpretation is attracting interest from thought leaders around the world and you can see their commendations on our homepage here!

Thanks for your comment John. It does take a little time to fully absorb what THE Interview presents as explaining ‘free will’ is central to the presentation. Using the Adam Stork story, it explains that in order to master or champion our free will the conscious mind did have to “break the rules” and defy or ignore our instincts, and it was this defiance of our instincts that resulted in humans becoming angry, egocentric and alienated — the psychological upset state of our human condition. So the key biological distinction is that humans suffer from the conscious-mind-based, psychologically troubled human condition, not the genetic-opportunism-based, “self preservation” you speak of, animal condition. For a summary of what THE Interview presents see FAQ 1.3. Also FAQ 1.36 explains having finally solved the human condition does not mean the search for knowledge or learning ends.

Absolutely not Robin. Astonishingly with Jeremy Griffith’s biological explanation of the human condition we can at last understand and reconcile the huge gulf that has existed between men and women. We can also understand why men especially, but also women, suffer from the human condition and all it’s related behaviours including selfishness and egocentricity, but that all humans are equally good, worthwhile, meaningful and wonderful regardless of gender, age, religion, etc. See biologist Dr Anna Fitzgerald’s video commendation about how this explanation is the real liberation of women and also FAQ 8.1 ‘How does this reconcile the sexes’. If you would like to read about what bonobos tell us about our own evolutionary heritage, see FAQ 5.2.

    Thank you very much for your comment Ron and it is wonderful THE Interview resonated with you so much.     You may be interested that Jeremy Griffith is currently writing two new essays which will cover the work of Gregg Braden and others and the huge difference between them and his instinct vs intellect treatise. As THE Interview explains it is our destructively behaved, so-called human condition that really has to be dealt with if we are to solve the world’s problems and heal the human race. Quantum science recognises the universal integrative meaning in existence but this has not solved our ongoing troubled human condition. To bring about the lasting transformation we seek we needed to answer the essential question of why, when the universal ideals are to be integrative are we so disintegrative? It is this age-old question of questions that biologist Jeremy Griffith has solved with his instinct vs intellect explanation. This required finding the clarifying difference between the way the intellect and instincts work, and that is the great biological breakthrough Jeremy presents. You may find FAQ 1.13 ‘Is this idea original or new? / How does this instinct vs intellect explanation of the human condition differ from other theories that recognise these elements?’ of interest.     These forthcoming essays are Freedom Essays 63: ‘Pseudo Therapy/Healing’ and Freedom Essay 64: ‘Real Therapy/Healing’ (click on these essay links for information about each essay). F. Essay 63 explains there are many approaches that seek to heal and therapise human psychoses but they are all coming from an extremely dishonest and superficial, human-condition-avoiding, pseudo therapising angle, and F. Essay 64 presents the human-condition-confronting, honest, true, genuinely effective therapy/healing that understanding of the human condition now makes possible.

Thanks for listening Joe. We wanted to include our FAQ 1.9 ‘Should people be sceptical’ as it 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.

Also our Transformation page of our website is all about where to go from here and inludes many affirmations from people about how this understanding has transformed their lives and their families lives.

Yes at last we can release our doubts about the human condition ever being solved KJ because it has—at last we have the completely redeeming, uplifting and healing understanding of ourselves the human journey has been dedicated to finding! Given you mention the possibilities you once felt in your youth you may be interested in Jeremy Griffith’s explanation of Resignation. Briefly, the human condition—which is the question of are we a fundamentally good or bad species—is something almost all people have sensibly had to live in denial of until humanity could find the answer to it. Jeremy explains this necessary strategy of denial as Resignation and describes it as the most significant psychological event in human life, see his Freedom Essay 30.

We welcome your question David. The human condition is the study of humans’ capacity for acts of both so-called ‘good and evil’. It’s the realm of inquiry where science and religion overlap, so in explaining the human condition religion is demystified and explained by bringing biological understanding to pre-scientific concepts. For instance Jeremy Griffith explains in this interview 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’. Jeremy’s work represents a reconciliation of science and religion, see FAQ 1.15 ‘If this is a biological explanation why are there religious references?’

Thanks for your comment Cheryl. We suggest now we can understand the human condition, we can see that everyone has suffered from it, and all our institutions, including our governments, have been a manifestation of our insecure, psychologically upset condition. Only solving the human condition can stop the destruction of our world that is happening everywhere we look. You may find these FAQs helpful, FAQ 1.6 ‘Why does understanding solve everything’ and FAQ 1.40 ‘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?’

Thank you for your comment Malcolm and we hope the following links help with your consideration of this treatise. THE Interview explains all humans are born with loving moral instincts but we all now variously suffer from a psychosis due to the human condition and, in the extreme, that psychologically conflicted upset state produces psychopathic behaviour. Importantly, this breakthrough explanation doesn’t condone or sanction the horrendous attrocities 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?’ and FAQ 1.40 ‘How can you hope to transform the world? / Won’t the greedy and power hungry simply ignore this?’ To read about the psychology behind the creation of psychopathic, ‘power-addicted’ and narcissistic behaviour, see chapter 8:16D of Jeremy’s definitive book 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.

    While Christianity and other religions contain all manner of truths about human life, it is all from a pre-scientific view. Ultimately we needed to find the scientific explanation for why when the universal ideals are to be loving, cooperative and selfless are we so angry, competitive and selfish. Answering this question required finding the clarifying difference between the way the intellect and instincts work, and that is the great biological breakthrough Jeremy Griffith presents. We suggest FAQ 1.13 ‘Is this original or new?’ which explains the unique significance of Jeremy’s work.     If your mention of chimpanzees is referring to the bonobo chimpanzee Jeremy discusses in THE Interview, yes studies show that they do occasionally capture and eat small game to supplement their diet with protein. However they do not routinely hunt down and eat large animals such as colobus monkeys, like common chimpanzees do (see Jeremy’s definitive book FREEDOM, chapter 2:11 ‘Multilevel Selection theory for eusociality’). As is explained the cooperative and gentle of the bonobo chimpanzee represent a far better model of our human ancestors than the common chimpanzee.

    Thank you for your open and heartfelt comments Marc. It is wonderful to learn how much this understanding is helping you heal. Being able to at last understand the source of our inner, and outer conflict, is so immensely relieving and reconciling we can all begin to come in from the cold as it were. As Jeremy Griffith writes in his introduction to our Transformation page of our website: “We now have the completely redeeming, uplifting and healing biological understanding of the core mystery and problem about human behaviour of our so-called ‘good and evil’-stricken human condition—thus ending all the conflict and suffering in human life at its source, and providing the now urgently needed road map for the complete rehabilitation and transformation of our lives and world! We can understand ourselves now. We can make sense of all the chaos, suffering and seeming madness in human life. Science has finally made it possible for the whole jigsaw of confusion and mystery about us humans to be fitted together so that it all makes sense. In particular, we can understand why we fully conscious humans corrupted our original all-loving and all-sensitive instinctive self or soul. Yes, the great burden of guilt from having destroyed the magic world of our soul has at last been lifted! We have found the key understanding that ends the underlying pain in our brains and allows the human race to become sound and sane again!”     If you haven’t already we suggest you watch the companion presentation to THE Interview titled The Great Guilt where Jeremy gives an astonishingly interesting and important description of The Great Burden Of Guilt that has finally been lifted from the human race! Click here to start watching!     Yes, the innocence of children is absolutely devastated by the psychologically upset world they encounter. Thank goodness we now have the defence for our upset and can explain to children about the unavoidable journey of the human condition and how corrupted we’ve become, and that honesty is what will heal their, and all humans’, troubled minds. (Jeremy’s explains this loss of innocence and adoption of psychological denial of the ideals of life that happens in our teenage years in Freedom Essay 30 titled ‘Resignation’, the unacknowledged yet most important psychological event in human life)     Given you are coming out of your depression we wanted to mention that explanation the human condition necessarily exposes the level of upset within ourselves and the world and importantly we don’t have to overly confront that upset within us, which is something we all need to be mindful of, as our FAQ 1.19 ‘A caution about the danger of over-exposure / Advice for people with mental health issues’ summarises.

This looks very similar to a con, count me out!

There is a lot to absorb here Christopher, so we ask you to be patient. As Part 4 of THE Interview explains, this understanding allows the immediate transformation of everyone’s life because, as Jeremy explains, “while it will take a number of generations to heal all the upset in us humans, everyone can immediately live free of their upset. The reason we can live free of it is that while we lacked the real defence and reinforcement of understanding of our corrupted condition, we absolutely needed the artificial defences and reinforcements of attacking any criticism of our corrupted condition, of denying and blocking it out, and of finding any positive reinforcement we could—anger, alienation and egocentricity are what sustained us—but now that we have the real defence and reinforcement of our fundamental goodness, all these artificial defences and reinforcements are obsoleted, they are no longer needed.”

    Hi Tim, I’m sorry that Jeremy is too busy to answer directly. As with any new scientific breakthrough in history it will take time to gain mainstream acceptance, and from there break through the bastions of power in the world. However, once this information gets a foothold through enough people developing a deep appreciation and desire to support it, the selfless love and energy that will generate will solve our problems very quickly because, as THE Interview explains, instead of being selfishly preoccupied with power, fame, fortune and glory, all our energies will be freed to truly work together and focus on doing whatever it takes to end the suffering in all the corners of the world.     Rest assured that we here are totally devoted to getting this world-saving understanding out, and even though we haven’t yet reached the tipping point we are well on our way as you can see from the excitement and relief in our daily ecstatic responses to THE Interview! Also, on our homepage, you can see the rapidly growing appreciation and support for Jeremy’s work with outstanding commendations from thought leaders and WTM Centres all over the world!     And everyone can help share this information - for some ideas, see FAQ 3.4 How can I help the WTM?

Hi Ade, what is so extraordinary about Jeremy Griffith’s instinct vs intellect explanation of the human condition is that it explains the real reason for why humans’ competitive behaviour became an unavoidable, indeed necessary, part of human life. That is why it is so powerful: it actually allows us all to reconcile the selfish madness of the world, and in ourselves, with ideality. And by explaining the very good reason why our intellect had to defy our instincts, it makes redundant our defensive behaviours of anger, egocentricity and alienation, which is what makes it totally different to pseudo idealistic demands that we all just behave cooperatively. See FAQ 1.40, which addresses ‘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?’. See also FAQ 1.6, ‘Why does understanding of the human condition solve everything?’

Hi John, thank you for your appreciation and interest.

This includes registering for our free, live events with Jeremy Griffith and others and joining our popular Facebook Group.

Jeremy Griffith’s explanation of the human condition brings biological understanding to religious accounts of our condition, which means we can at last reconcile science and religion. For instance, as THE Interview explains, 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 ‘evil’; we humans are actually the absolute heroes of the whole story! It establishes that we are good and not bad after all. What THE Interview presents fundamentally lifts the ‘burden of guilt’ from the human race and allows us to forgive ourselves and others and finally end our psychologically troubled human condition—it couldn’t be a bigger breakthrough. You might be interested in our FAQs about religion, especially 6.2 ‘What is God’ and 6.3 ‘Does this understanding undermine religion’. Also there are Jeremy’s Freedom Essays 38 – 41 about the demysification of religion which are absolutely fascinating.

Thank you for your comment Darlene, and it is wonderful to see the relief the interview is bringing you. We just wanted to draw your attention to the ‘ship at sea’ position Jeremy talks about which you may or may not relate to. Freedom Essay 30 titled Resignation explains that some adolescents refuse to properly resign and take up the strategy of denial of the issue of the human condition that almost everybody else does. They courageously keep facing it, refuse to ‘pull into a port’, as it were, and escape the storms of confrontation with the real horror of the human condition, which does produce an honest, although torturous existence.

Thank you for your comment Alan, and the human condition has certainly caused so much unbearable suffering for humans, it has been a deeply tragic reality. The core breakthrough of Jeremy Griffith’s explanation of the human condition is we no longer have to be burdened by the fundamental question of whether we are good or bad because our core goodness as individuals and as a species has been biologically established. We can know our psychological upset was the price humans had to pay for searching for knowledge and that the human story presents the greatest, most heroic story ever told. So we can now look after ourselves and others with great compassion and kindness, as you say “feel that love again”, and we don’t have to overly confront the upset within us as FAQ 1.19 ‘A caution about the danger of over-exposure / Advice for people with mental health issues’ summarises.

As Jeremy Griffith explains in THE Interview, 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’, none can consciously manage events like humans can, and so it is accurate to describe humans as the only animals possessing fully conscious minds. It is also worth noting that Jeremy explains that developing 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. If you would like to explore this further we recommend our FAQ 5.4 titled ‘What is consciousness? / Why is it that humans became conscious while other animals haven’t? / How did consciousness emerge in humans?’

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

Hi Julius, as is mentioned in Part 3 of THE Interview recent theories such as ‘group selection’ and ‘self-domestication’ have attempted to argue that altruism or cooperation arose in our past through selection against aggression, but it is flawed biology because the reality is that any selfless behaviour will always be relentlessly selected against (see Chapters 6.8 to 6.10 of FREEDOM). The only way that genuine cooperation or selflessness could develop was through the nurturing based love-indoctrination process, which is introduced in Part 3 of this interview and which you can read more about in Chapter 5 of FREEDOM. It is then explained that a clash broke out between these cooperative instincts and our emerging consciousness, the result of which is that we became psychologically upset angry, egocentric and alienated sufferers of the human condition. Having finally found the explanation for why we had to challenge our cooperative instincts, all the retaliatory, defensive and insecure upset anger, egocentricity and alienation in humans can now subside and heal.

    Great comment Gamma, thank you for persevering! Yes, Jeremy Griffith’s work doesn’t contradict a belief in Christianity or the teachings of Christ. 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. We thought you might find our FAQs about religion of interest, in particular FAQ 6.2, ‘What is the meaning of life? / What is the Integrative Meaning of existence? / What is ‘God’? / Does the scientific explanation of ‘God’ really contain all the attributes of religion’s metaphysical ‘God’?’     We encourage you keep exploring this understanding by visit the homepage where you will find a guide to learning more, which includes registering to be notified of our free, live, interactive presentations with Jeremy Griffith and others about this immensely relieving understanding, and joining our Facebook Group where there is much fascinating and helpful practical discussion taking place.

Hi Paddy, while great care has been taken to present the explanation as succinctly and simply as possible (which is done in Part 1 of THE Interview), opening up the human condition does mean that there are several absolutely critical questions to be answered (Parts 2, 3 & 4). We do recommend looking at the main introductory videos near the top of our homepage as you’ll see many of those videos are short in length while explaining all the key concepts in Jeremy Griffith’s world-saving, human-condition-solving treatise, specifically Video 3 which is a 14-minute presentation of Jeremy’s explanation.

This biological treatise establishes all humans are equally good, worthwhile, meaningful and wonderful regardless of gender, age, religion, etc. See biologist Dr Anna Fitzgerald’s video commendation about how this explanation is the real liberation of women and also FAQ 8.1 ‘How does this reconcile the sexes’

The key thing to realise is that what is being presented here is not some imposed ideal state, but understanding that removes the insecurity that is driving all our divisiveness. In other words, it is not really a state that will need protecting; everyone will want it. The following is a passage from Part 3 of Jeremy Griffith’s book Transform Your Life that might be helpful: “We are rational creatures, and so when all the logic points to there being only one response we can make, namely the human-condition-resolved, upset-obsoleted, transformed new way of living, then that is the response the human race has to take. No revolution dogmatically, and even physically, imposed upon us by others, as has pretty much been the case with revolutions in the past, just a peaceful revolution through the power of logic, knowledge, understanding—the great ‘revolution of the mind’ that W.B. Yeats, and Sir Bob, yearned for. Of course, while it is the power of the logic, the rationale, that makes the new transformed way of living irresistible, the adoption of this way of living is also made irresistible by the absolutely wonderful transforming effect it has on people. Indeed, before long those still living in the old embattled, have-to-prove-your-worth, or deluded, do-good-to-feel-good pseudo idealistic ways of living will feel like they have been caught wearing last year’s fashions! There is such a stark difference between the free, authentic, expansive, enthralled-with-life, transformed existence and the old embattled existence, where your mind is narrowly focused and preoccupied working all the angles every second of every day, defensively seeking validation and reinforcement, that those living in the old ways will seem like a different species. Compared to the new expansive, all-exciting, free, transformed state, those still stuck in the old embattled paradigm will be like sad, forgotten ghosts trapped in an obsoleted state.”

Good on you Laurie. 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 this resistance and initial ‘deaf effect’ which makes ‘hearing’ the explanation difficult. So it can take a little patience to access just how all-clarifying, all-redeeming and all-liberating this information is but as you are finding, it is well worth it! Jeremy’s new presentation, The Great Guilt, really gets to the bottom of the reason for this Deaf Effect.

Thanks Ben. A similar question has already been responded to recently in these comments; please see the question from Jonathan Moraneau below.

Hi Barney, we hope you persevere because we suggest that what is unique and ground-breaking about Jeremy Griffith’s understanding of the human condition is that he has biologically answered the essential question of why, when the ideals of life are to be loving and selfless, are humans so competitive and selfish? See FAQ 1.13 ‘Is this idea original or new?’

Also our Facebook Group provides a wonderful platform for participating in, or just observing, interesting and exciting discussion with others about how we can live with this critical new science.

Thank you for your interest Jonathan. Yes, a common reaction when people hear the explanation of the human condition for the first time, is ‘that explains what I have known all my life!’. Regarding the scientific basis of Jeremy Griffith’s instinct vs intellect treatise, you may be interested in reading our FAQ 1.20, which includes the following exposition: “Science’s discovery of the difference in the way our nerve-based conscious intellect and our gene-based instincts work has allowed biologist Jeremy Griffith to add further confirming clarification of the long recognised ‘instinct vs intellect’ explanation of the human condition. It was Darwin’s mid-1800s discovery of natural selection (as well as Watson and Crick’s subsequent discovery of the DNA molecule, the mechanism behind natural selection), and science’s discovery of how the nervous system works, in particular that nerves are able to remember events, that allowed Jeremy to explain that the nerve-based learning system operates from a basis of understanding cause and effect while the gene-based, natural selection learning system can only give species’ orientations to the world around them, and that this difference explains why an upsetting clash must occur between our instincts and conscious intellect; that upsetting clash being the reason for our angry, egocentric and alienated human condition.”

Hi Fred, yes Jeremy Griffith’s book FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition is the definitive presentation of the biological explanation of the human condition which you can freely access, in various formats, here on our homepage.

Thanks Sammy, yes we can at last understand what love actually is, which is unconditional selflessness, and why it so significant in our lives and in the development of humanity. There is actually a clear theme or purpose or meaning of existence, which is the ordering or integration of matter, a process that is driven by the physical law of Negative Entropy – see FAQ 5.3 ‘What is the meaning of life? / What is the Integrative Meaning of existence? / What is God?’. Also Jeremy Griffith’s book titled The Book Of Real Answers To Everything! includes the essay 'What is Love' which you may like to read.

That is wonderful you are going to share THE Interview Jake as this explanation opens a whole new level of understanding—as you say it connects all the dots! For instance we can now understand the real, and indeed heroic, reason we have been so competitive. Our selfish, competitive and aggressive behaviour is not due to savage instincts but is the result of a psychosis caused by the ‘instincts and intellect’ clash, and significantly, a psychosis can be healed with understanding!

Great to have your interest Karen!. In terms of Richard Bach’s book we wanted to clarify that certainly there has been a recognition in literature (and by profound thinkers generally) that there must be something better than our current human condition afflicted state. However many people have deluded themselves that this liberated state could be achieved through people artificially restraining, sublimating and even transcending their upset, corrupted condition, but the truth is that this state could only be achieved by confronting, truthfully thinking about, and finally explaining and thus solving the human condition at its source, which is what biologist Jeremy Griffith has done. In the end it was only getting to the bottom of it all, not transcendence, that could fulfil Richard Bach’s allegoral quest for perfection. See FAQ 6.5.

Thank you for your comment Leopold. Part 4 of THE Interview, titled ‘How does the psychological rehabilitation of the human race that the arrival of understanding of the human condition finally makes possible actually occur?’, presents the answer to how this understanding allows everyone to transform their lives. It explains that it will take a number of generations for the upset within us to be completely healed but it also stresses importantly we can be immediately free of its effects. Certainly there is habituation to overcome and humans do find change difficult but at last we can understand our behaviour has been driven by a deep insecurity about our fundamental goodness or worth and so now that our goodness is biologically established we no longer have to behave insecurely and selfishly and can legitimately return to a selfless way of living. ‘Legitimately’ because we have the first principle science which liberates us to be honest about our conflicted upset state instead of denying or transcending it. So instead of being focused on power, fame, fortune and glory, all our energies will be freed to truly work together on doing whatever it takes to end the suffering and save our world. How this healing is immediately open to us all is summarised in FAQ 1.5 and FAQ 1.40 addresses the questions of ‘How can you hope to transform the world? — In particular, how are you going to change the behaviour of the rich and powerful? / How are you going to reach the bastions of power? / Won’t the greedy and power-hungry simply ignore this?’. You may also be interested in FAQ 1.38 ‘How does this explanation rehabilitate people capable of ‘evil’ behaviour?’.

Hi Marie, thanks for your comment. What is so astonishing about Jeremy Griffith’s work is it provides the long-sought-after, biological answer to the riddle of human nature – why, when the universal ideals are to be loving, cooperative and selfless, we are so angry, competitive and selfish. Our FAQs 1.4 to 1.6 may be helpful as they talk about the rapidly transforming effects of this new knowledge.
