EPISODE -10: The Invasion of Reason

In this episode, we plunge into Chapter 13 of Alexander Nevzorov’s The Origins of Genius and Fascism—a brutal dissection of how reason invaded the Homo skull, turning a simple scavenger ape into a tortured prisoner of thought.

💀 Chapter Highlights:

🔹 The Scavenger’s Curse – Reason didn’t evolve as a gift. It attacked. It humiliated. It burned itself into the Homo brain like a parasite.
🔹 The Brain as an Addict – How reason tricked ancient neural structures into keeping it around—by feeding them endless stimulation.
🔹 The Colony of Madness – Reason isn’t an individual trait; it’s a collective phenomenon. Before Homo ever thought, primitive microbial colonies were already making rational decisions.
🔹 The Absurdity of Intelligence – The same brain that devoured rotting flesh also built cathedrals and atom bombs. Intelligence was never part of the plan.

🌍 Nevzorov’s Anti-War Voice:
This podcast isn’t just about philosophy—it’s about truth. Alexander Nevzorov remains one of the loudest Russian-speaking intellectuals in exile, relentlessly opposing Putin’s bloody regime and Russia’s genocidal war against Ukraine. His work is banned in Russia. His words cut through both religious and political lies with equal contempt.

📌 Key Scientific & Historical Terms Explained:
🔹 Siphonophores & Bryozoans – Colonial organisms that make rational decisions without a brain—evolutionary ancestors of biological reason.
🔹 Reticular Formation – A primitive brain structure controlling survival instincts, aggression, and sexual drives—still running the show today.
🔹 Unit 731 – Japan’s infamous WWII biological warfare division, invoked by Nevzorov to compare the grotesque experimentation of evolution itself.
🔹 Phantom Perception – How reason hijacked hunger and lust, turning them into mental illusions stronger than reality.
🔹 Neurological Overload – Why the Homo brain is addicted to stimuli and will sacrifice logic for the next hit of excitement.
