EPISODE - 11: The Thought Infection.

In this episode, we plunge into Chapters 14 and 15 of Alexander Nevzorov’s The Origins of Genius and Fascism—a ruthless autopsy of human reason, exposing it not as an evolutionary triumph, but as a biological parasite. From the brutal cost of intelligence to the grand illusion of curiosity, this episode dismantles every comforting lie about the mind.

You’ve been lied to. Not by politicians. Not by priests. Not by history books. But by your own brain.

It convinced you that reason was part of its design. That intelligence was an evolutionary goal. That logic was always meant to be here.

But the truth is simpler. More brutal. The brain doesn’t need reason to function. It doesn’t even notice when it’s gone.

Tonight, we read Chapters 14 and 15 of Alexander Nevzorov’s The Origins of Genius and Fascism—an autopsy of intelligence that exposes it as an accident, a biological afterthought, a parasite clinging to a nervous system built for nothing but survival, fear, and reproduction.

🔹 Reason wasn’t designed—it was a mistake. The brain had to sacrifice core abilities just to make room for logic.

🔹 Why intelligence is fragile, inconsistent, and easily erased—sleep, alcohol, emotions, pain can shut it down in an instant. 🔹 The terrifying proof that thought isn’t inherited. Every human must be taught from scratch—even how to use a toilet. 🔹 Why curiosity was never natural. If it were, ignorance would be impossible.

And the final act of this cerebral comedy:

🔹 How culture hijacked the brain—not to expand it, but to feed it illusions.

🔹 Why civilization is just a self-referential joke, with the brain praising its own mediocre creation.

🔹 If intelligence was meant to be, why is 99% of the world still drowning in religion, nationalism, and obedience to dictators?

This book is dangerous. Nevzorov doesn’t just dissect the mind—he exposes the machinery of control. He was one of the first in Russia to call the war in Ukraine what it was: a genocidal slaughter. While others bowed to power, he spoke out—and paid the price.
