EPISODE -9: THE BLACK COMEDY OF THE HEMISPHERES

In this episode, we plunge into Chapter 12 of Alexander Nevzorov’s The Origins of Genius and Fascism—a ruthless dissection of the absurd comedy that is human brain evolution.

💀 From its origins as a crude survival tool for scavenger apes to its accidental development into a machine capable of hallucinating gods, creating art, and constructing civilizations—Nevzorov lays bare the grotesque reality behind the thing inside our skulls.

🔪 Chapter Highlights:

• The Brain as Biological Trash – How evolution cobbled together a barely functional neural mess and accidentally stumbled onto "reason."
• Schrödinger’s Hemispheres – The same brain that mindlessly devoured carrion also composed symphonies and launched rockets.
• The Madness of Rationality – Why true intelligence was never part of the plan—and why those who understand the brain too well are destined to lose their own.

🌍 Nevzorov’s Anti-War Voice:As always, this reading isn’t just about philosophy—it’s about truth. Alexander Nevzorov remains one of the fiercest voices opposing Putin’s bloody regime and Russia’s genocidal war against Ukraine. His uncompromising stance against tyranny and religious delusion defines both his work and his life in exile.

📌 Key Scientific & Historical Terms Explained:

🔹 Phocomelia – A congenital disorder causing severe limb reduction or absence, used by Nevzorov as a metaphor for the absurd limitations of the human brain.

🔹 Cryptophthalmia – A rare birth defect where eyes fail to develop, leaving smooth skin over the sockets—another metaphor for humanity’s blind groping through history.

🔹 Sherrington & Eccles – Legendary neuroscientists whose work on the nervous system revealed just how unequipped the human brain is for rational thought.

🔹 Purgatorius – The primitive proto-primate that gave rise to all later primates, including Homo sapiens—Nevzorov’s reminder that we descend from carrion-eating vermin.

🔹 Reticular Formation – An ancient brain structure responsible for basic survival functions, sex drives, violence, and primitive reflexes—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.

🔹 Denofelis & Machairodus – Prehistoric saber-toothed predators who saw early humans as walking, rotting lunch—because that’s exactly what we were.
