Thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Will be following this channel. You asked excellent questions and showed maturity in reasoning way beyond your years. Neil Oliver is an amazing man. I have all his books, including his work of fiction - Master of Shadows- quite enjoyable. His commentary on the insane world we live in has helped me stay sane. Truth will win in the end. God bless.

Perhaps because so many of us have essentially outsourced our thinking to other people and/or gadgets. And so many are not truly aware of their surroundings and do not have any solid grounding. In the States, wisdom is not valued anymore.

Never before have humans, alone or in groups, been so easy to reach & persuade. I doubt we’re different from Hunter-gatherers in any important dimensions. We’re definitely still built & wired in ways that maximise surviving the next threat, of which there were & are very many. Critically, for the first time ever, at speed, the internet, mobile telephony & major apps facilitate us being reached & influenced en masse by a small, hidden group. A global dictatorship is in my view a really serious threat to our survival as a species. This is new. The largest numbers of people influenced, arguably controlled by a small, well-organised subset of humans. This is the defining characteristic of modern humans. What’s worse is that the majority do not value their privacy and/or aren’t aware of the possibility of malign intent, evil, if you prefer, on the part of the controllers. I believe that the Covid19 era & especially its vaccines are completely “got up” by a few of the controllers, who I term “the perpetrators”. for centuries to a few millennia. This is where are right now. You know that we are so far the geography in the paths of human predators. They’ve always existed but never with such a huge span of control.

Neil and Dr. Alice Roberts are two of my favorite presenters and are so skilled at what they do. I love that Neil's book talks about humans knowing and needing love and home, I just ordered Dr. Roberts book which purports to discuss belonging based on 7 excavations.. The two augment each other so well. I'm in the US and there is a Native American saying about the duality of compassion and meanness in humans and is expressed as the story of man having two wolves inside. One aggressive the other not and someone asks, which one is the "real me" and the wise man says, "the one you feed". As an amateur genealogist I strive to put story together with dates/times/places to demonstrate that our ancestors aren't just dates on a gravestone or in a census record. Doing that combined with the stories of human existance Neil describes so eloquently is how best to put flesh to bones. Excellent interview. I will find more of your interviews/podcasts...and I need to go order Neil's book as well. Thank you! Thank you!!

I love listening to Neil speak, such wisdom. I remember a friend stating to me when I was watching a documentary on WW2 that she could never do what the Nazi's did and I replied "so your not a human". She was taken aback and said "of course I am". So I pointed out to that if she was human then she absolutely has the capacity to do what the Nazi's did she just hadn't had the right motivation. That made here think.......

I think that Neil is an astute student of humans, and of our history. As someone who has dealt with human behavior for over 40 years, as a psychotherapist, much of what he comments on in this interview has been born out. Much of the circuitry of our brains, is built on our experiences. Our brains are built to be social and develop in large part on our relationships with others--good or bad and the emotions and feelings that are associated with those relationships. Our cultures and societies have grown from those relationships. Like Neil says, we have both the capacity for good and evil in all of us. Each culture and society seems to define what human qualities are valued. Our "modern" world has moved away from valuing caring qualities, as they are often perceived as being "weak" But when everything is said and done, in our to survive ,and survive well, we need others. And yes Neil is correct when he says that we humans need a sense of safety.

Sadly, you may be wrong about the people illegally making their way into our country. Their motivation may not be so pure - they may not want a home here - maybe they've left one behind and, after they've achieved what they've come for, they plan to go back to it. This may not considered by them to be their final destination, any more than other invaders felt the invaded country was the end of their journey. THAT's the danger of some of them - not their coming here to find a home, but their coming here in order to do harm. But, otherwise - thank you both so much for a very interesting and informative discussion. I really enjoyed it.

Confirming the intuitions of ancient philosophers and mystics.. "We must not conceal from ourselves that no improvement in the present depressing situation is possible without a severe struggle; for the handful of those who are really determined to do something is minute in comparison with the mass of the lukewarm and the misguided. ... Humanity is going to need a substantially new way of thinking if it is to survive!" (Albert Einstein) Our world is in great trouble due to human behaviour founded on myths and customs that are causing the destruction of Nature and climate change. We can now deduce the most simple science theory of reality - the wave structure of matter in space. By understanding how we and everything around us are interconnected in Space we can then deduce solutions to the fundamental problems of human knowledge in physics, philosophy, metaphysics, theology, education, health, evolution and ecology, politics and society. This (Wave Structure of Matter - WSM) is the profound new way of thinking that Einstein realised, that we exist as spatially extended structures of the universe - the discrete and separate body an illusion. This simply confirms the intuitions of the ancient philosophers and mystics. Given the current censorship in physics / philosophy of science journals (based on the standard model of particle physics / big bang cosmology) the internet is the best hope for getting new knowledge known to the world. But that depends on you, the people who care about science and society, realise the importance of truth and reality. (Natural philosopher, Geoff Haselhurst) spaceandmotion

I think Robert Greene’s point is that we all have a shadow side as he states in Human Nature. His buddy Ryan Holiday likes to think we can control our ego (if only that was true) but we can mask and try to control it but never suppress it completely. Also this gentleman is a vampire. He is so young for someone who was studying archaeology in the 80s, unless he was in the 7th grade. Ty for the great interview.

Have we humans become somewhat arrogant in believing that the world our large brain, ability to stand upright and our opposable thumb, have allowed us to produce, is actually compatible with the fundamentals of our species? Being capable of doing something does not come with a guarantee it is in our species` best interest re the ´nature of us`?
