THE Interview explains:
in Part 1:
TI.1 that the main excuse used to explain our competitive and aggressive condition is that we have ‘savage instincts’, but this excuse is wrong because we have cooperative and loving moral instincts
TI.2 that the truth is we don’t suffer from a must-reproduce-our-genes animal condition but a conscious-mind-based psychologically troubled human condition
TI.3 that having a conscious-mind-based psychologically troubled condition means it can be healed with understanding
TI.4 that the true instinct vs intellect explanation of our human condition is very obvious because if an animal was to become fully conscious, as we did, then it makes sense that an upsetting battle would break out with its instincts, which only the understanding of, which we now have, could cure
in Part 2:
TI.5 that the reason we haven’t been taught the instinct vs intellect explanation is that even though we have known since ancient times, such as in the Garden of Eden story, that the emergence of our conscious mind led to our ‘fall’ from innocence, until science explained the difference between the instinct and intellect learning systems we had no ability to explain the good reason for our corrupted condition, which left us no choice but to deny that we once lived in a cooperative and loving innocent state and to hold onto the false ‘savage instincts’ excuse for our divisive behaviour
TI.6 that this habituated attachment to the ‘savage instincts’ excuse has been blocking scientists from a truthful understanding of the human condition
in Part 3:
TI.7 that nurturing, which primates are especially facilitated to develop as a result of their arms-free arboreal heritage, is what created our species’ extraordinary moral nature
TI.8 that bonobos provide the perfect evidence for how nurturing created our moral nature
TI.9 that John Fiske first put forward the nurturing explanation in 1874 and even though it was described at the time as being far more important than Darwin’s principle of natural selection, it was ignored and let die because until we could explain our corrupted condition and resulting inability to adequately nurture our offspring, it was far too confronting a truth to accept
in Part 4:
TI.10 that the way understanding of the human condition transforms the human race is that since we now have the real defence for our corrupted condition, all the old artificial defences of retaliation, denial and seeking relieving power, fame, fortune and glory are obsoleted, which means everyone is free to take up a transformed cooperative, selfless and loving existence
TI.11 that the pseudo idealism of the left-wing in politics oppressed the search for knowledge and was regressive not progressive, it was the right-wing that held the moral high-ground, but thankfully this transformation now ends politics and the whole human race sets out as one united organism to a human-condition-free world
TI.12 that since this interview provides a short summary of what is going to be explained in more detail in the following Videos 1-4, there will be some repetition of the concepts that have been presented in THE Interview in those subsequent videos

The Great Guilt explains:
GG.1 that people suffer from an extreme Deaf Effect where they initially have great difficulty taking in or ‘hearing’ the most wonderful gift of being able to understand the human condition
GG.2 that the reason people suffer from a Deaf Effect is because of our historic fear of the human condition, which is the immense guilt and shame the human race feels for having corrupted our species’ original cooperative and loving instinctive existence
GG.3 that what happened was we humans became conscious and, for some reason that we had absolutely no understanding of, started to become competitive, aggressive and selfish—behaving in a way that was completely at odds with our instinctive self or soul that only knew to behave cooperatively, selflessly and lovingly
GG.4 that not being able to understand why we had become seemingly evil monsters caused us humans to feel terribly ostracised and lonely in the world, a loneliness that allows us to understand such practices as the ancestor worship evident in the 12,000 year old Göbekli Tepe settlement in Turkey
GG.5 that trying to confront the subject of our corrupted, seemingly worthless human condition without understanding of it has been so unbearably depressing for almost all adolescents that they had no choice other than to eventually ‘resign’ to living in denial of the subject
GG.6 that even though we are now defended with the good reason for our corrupted condition, our fear of the subject from when we unsuccessfully tried to confront it when we were adolescents stops us from ‘hearing’ discussions about the subject
GG.7 that the one final challenge for the human race is to have enough people overcome the Deaf Effect for there to be a critical mass of appreciative people showing everyone else that it is actually now safe to confront the all-important, crux issue of the human condition
GG.8 that there is a small category of people who didn’t resign to living in denial of the human condition and who therefore don’t particularly suffer from the Deaf Effect called ‘Ships at Sea’, and it is these people who are most able to help initiate support for this world-saving understanding
GG.9 that examples of rare exceptionally honest thinkers illustrate just how much the human race has been living in denial of the human condition and therefore how precious it is for everyone to now be able to understand and heal our psychologically distressed condition

Video 1 explains:
1.1 that humans have lived in great fear of the issue of the human condition
1.2 that this fear makes absorption of discussion of the human condition difficult
1.3 that you therefore have to patiently re-listen to the presentations to overcome this ‘deaf effect’

Video 2 explains:
2.1 that the ‘savage instincts’ excuse has been used to explain our competitive and aggressive condition, but this excuse is wrong because we have cooperative and loving moral instincts
2.2 that the truth is we don’t suffer from a must-reproduce-our-genes animal condition but a conscious-mind-based psychologically troubled human condition
2.3 that the false ‘savage instincts’ excuse has been used to justify the imposition of left-wing ‘correct’ behaviour
2.4 that this imposition is both wrong and dangerous

Video 3 explains:
3.1 that rather than being due to ‘savage instincts’ our psychologically troubled human condition is due to a clash between our orientating instincts and our conscious mind’s need to understand cause and effect
3.2 that this explanation ends the historic burden of guilt and criticism of humans and reveals that we are the heroes of the story of life on Earth
3.3 that the explanation establishes that all humans are equally good
3.4 that this understanding obsoletes our old artificial power, fame, fortune and glory ways of validating ourselves and by so doing transforms the human race
3.5 that Moses’s allegory of Adam and Eve corroborates that we humans did once live in an innocent state and then became corrupted when we became conscious

Video 4 explains:
4.1 that we have suffered from the ‘double whammy’ of psychological upset because we have cooperative and loving moral instincts
4.2 that there is, as Richard Heinberg’s book documents, ‘everywhere in religion and myth…an acknowledgement that human consciousness has been separated…from an original innocence and can return to it only through the resolution of some profound inner discord’
4.3 that, as Hesiod described, we once were ‘A golden race…with calm untroubled mind’ who ‘shared’ everything and were ‘strangers to ill’
4.4 that, as Plato similarly said, we once lived in a ‘state of innocence, before we had any experience of evils to come’ when ‘neither was there any violence, or devouring of one another, or war or quarrel’ and then humans became conscious and ‘had to order their course of life for themselves, and were their own masters’, which caused ‘the separation, when the world was let go’ leading to the ‘universal ruin’ that has arrived today
4.5 that bonobos evidence the nurturing that created our cooperative and loving moral instincts
4.6 that the unjust condemnation by our instincts caused all the volcanic frustration and anger in us humans, and our need for material reinforcement
4.7 that this unjust condemnation necessitated we used the false ‘savage instincts’ excuse until science arrived to explain the real reason for our fallen condition
4.8 that contemporary thinkers like Eugène Marais, Laurens van der Post, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Nikolai Berdyaev, Erich Neumann, Paul MacLean and Arthur Koestler also evidence that the instinct vs intellect explanation of the human condition is the true explanation of it
4.9 that with this true explanation of our condition we can now, as T.S. Eliot said, ‘cease from exploration’ and return to the upset-free state ‘where we started and know [understand] the place for the first time’

Video 14 explains:
14.1 that scientists, like everyone else, have been living in fearful denial of the human condition and, as a result, have (Darwin excepted) been putting forward all manner of dishonest ‘explanations’ for human behaviour
14.2 that these dishonest ‘explanations’ are largely based on the seductive reverse-of-the-truth lie that we have savage instincts and a guilt-free conscious mind that has to manage them. It is us humans now who are extremely upset savage monsters, not our ape ancestors
14.3 that Social Darwinism led to E.O. Wilson’s theory of Evolutionary Psychology, and then to his Multilevel Selection theory which instead of explaining the human condition nullified it, effectively burying humanity forever in the darkest depths of Plato’s cave of denial!
14.4 that the most dangerous use of the false ‘savage instincts’ excuse is the left-wing’s use of it to justify its dogmatic imposition of ‘correct’ cooperative and loving behaviour — dangerous because it stopped the all-important search for knowledge. As Nietzsche said, we had to ‘keep holy’ our ‘highest hope’ of achieving ‘enlightenment’ of our condition
14.5 that, as Dennis Prager ‘warned’, ‘the left…use [dishonest, ‘savage instincts’] science…to coerce its citizens’, ‘dictate what is to be tolerated and what is to be mocked’ by accusing them of being ‘sexist, intolerant, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic, racist and bigoted’
14.6 that only this true explanation of the human condition can stop this left-wing march to an unthinkably horrific psychotic death-by-dogma end of the human race, and bring about a real transformation of humans
Have you re-watched these videos?
Finally, if you do think that the now desperately needed, most ‘elusive and precious in the life of the mind…understanding of the human condition’, that E.O. Wilson spoke of, has indeed been presented here, and that our species’ historic resistance to engaging with the subject means there will be a great ‘deaf effect’ resistance to it, will you help us defend and promote this absolutely critical human-race-saving understanding?
