Why do we thinking, rational, immensely clever, supposedly sensible beings behave so ruthlessly, competitively and selfishly that human life has become all but unbearable and we have nearly destroyed our own planet? Are we a flawed species, some sort of evolutionary mistake, fundamentally worthless beings—or are we possibly the absolute heroes of the story of life on Earth? How are we to make sense of the awesome contradictions of the human condition? Yes, how are we to truly understand ourselves—because without redeeming, biological understanding there can be no real peace for the human mind.
I’m Jeremy Griffith, I’m an Australian biologist and I’ve dedicated my life to understanding and explaining the human condition, and what I now want to tell you is that through the advances that have been made in science, we now have the fully accountable explanation of our seemingly imperfect lives, explanation of the human condition. At long last we have the redeeming and thus transforming understanding of human behaviour!
As a former president of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, Professor Harry Prosen, has said about my book FREEDOM (which, incidentally, is free online): “I have no doubt FREEDOM provides the holy grail of insight we have sought for the psychological rehabilitation of the human race.”
Now this wonderful breakthrough insight into human behaviour that science has finally made possible is summarised in a filmed interview I recently did on British radio, so I very much urge you to watch THE Interview now.
