In every generation, young people have wrestled with the paradox and hypocrisy of human life:
• Why is everyone so fake?
• Why do adults fight?
• Why is everyone so unhappy and preoccupied?
• Why are we going to a lavish party when people are starving?
• Why do men kill each other?
In essence, they’ve been asking the fundamental question: “Why isn’t the world ideal?”
But parents - unable to explain the riddle of the #humancondition and resigned to a life of denial and distraction - have never been able to answer. These questions made adults so uncomfortable that young people quickly learned to stop asking.
This silence from the adult world created deep confusion for teenagers trying to make sense of life. The silence was so total, so powerful, that few could stand against it. Eventually, the pressure to conform - combined with the pain and #depression that came from confronting the truth - forced them to give up the search for answers.
Once resigned, the reason behind all the falseness became clear - they too became part of the lie, part of the problem faced by the next generation.

Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith has found that key to the ‘selfishness, greed, and apathy’ that Professor Gus Speth reflected is the key to our environmental problems. After decades working at the highest levels of environmental policy, Speth, a former Yale School of the Environment dean concluded that the greatest challenges were not scientific or technical, but human, writing that, “I used to think the top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse, and climate change. But I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed, and apathy.”

@tonymaloneyA1@FixTheWorldOrg No. I have spent many years investigating Jeremy Griffith's work and it's a fully verifiable bilogical understanding of our corrupted human condition. It also has the backing of some very eminent scientists and thinkers.
#Plato gave a very clear warning of the great danger of intolerance threatening to prevent the emergence of understanding of the human condition in his allegory of the cave.
He explained that "the process [of revealing the truth about the human condition] would be a painful one, to which he would much object, and when he emerged into the light his eyes would be so overwhelmed by the brightness of it that he wouldn’t be able to see a single one of the things he was now told were real" and "they would say that his [the person who tries to deliver understanding of the human condition] visit to the upper world had ruined his sight [they would treat him as if he was mad], and [they would say] that the ascent [out of the cave] was not worth even attempting. And if anyone tried to release them and lead them up, they would kill him if they could lay hands on him."
So, the great danger when understanding of the human condition does finally arrive - which it now has with Jeremy Griffith's breakthrough biological treatise - is that some will be intolerant of the emerging information, and the paradigm shift that follows, and try to reinstate the historical denials that have been used to block exposure to the issue of the human condition, which as Plato have warned, is a very serious problem if we are to see a future free of the human condition for the human race.

@FixTheWorldOrg This interview gives an extraordinary understanding of how we ended up in the mess we're in through scientific, biological, rational understanding. But more importantly a clear path forward to a world free of suffering. An absolute must watch!
So, yes, WHY are we lovable?
How could we be good when all the evidence seems to unequivocally indicate that we are a deeply flawed, bad, even evil species?
What is the answer to this question of questions, this problem of ‘good and evil’ in the human make-up, this greatest of all paradoxes and dilemmas of the human condition?
What caused humans to become divisively behaved and, more importantly, how is this divisive behaviour ever going to be brought to an end?
THIS, the issue of the human condition, is the REAL question facing the human race.

"𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒅," sang Leonard Cohen. "𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒚 𝒑𝒐𝒐𝒓, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒉. 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒊𝒕 𝒈𝒐𝒆𝒔."
Those lines, written in the late 1980s, could serve as an anthem for our age of disillusionment. From Wall Street bailouts to widening inequality, the moral doubts about capitalism remain as raw as ever.
But what if the story of greed and inequality isn't just economic? What if the roots of competition and ambition lie deeper – in human psychology itself? That's the claim made by Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith, whose scientific explanation of the human condition has been widely commended by leading scientists and thinkers around the world.

Political division, conflict, social fragmentation, environmental strain, rising anxiety and loneliness are all symptoms of the much deeper issue of our insecure, psychologically upset human condition; and 𝐬𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲.

Griffith also reframes the problem. Instead of asking how to better control or regulate human behavior, the question becomes whether the underlying tension can be fundamentally resolved.

Depression, anxiety, burnout, personality disorders, and a host of other psychological conditions affect hundreds of millions worldwide. Therapists, researchers, and individuals alike continue to describe this same breakdown as an almost infinite variety of struggles: genetic predispositions, childhood trauma, cultural expectations, social media pressures, interpersonal conflicts, and deeply personal life circumstances.
Each story feels unique. Each pathology seems distinct. Yet what if, beneath all this variety, there is a single underlying cause?
Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith argues precisely that in his major treatise 'FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition', the foundational text of FIX THE WORLD. His work, which has drawn praise from psychiatrists, psychologists, anthropologists, and other thought leaders, posits that the root of humanity’s psychological distress is not fragmented or endlessly varied; but universal. In doing so, it 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐱𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝.
