Biologist/Author Jeremy Griffith & the World Transformation Movement
WTM Publishing & Communications (WTM P&C) works closely with the World Transformation Movement, a registered not-for-profit organisation that was founded in 1983, with the aims of understanding and ameliorating the human condition, the human condition being humans’ seemingly contradictory capacity for both ‘good and evil’.
In particular the World Transformation Movement recognises the breakthrough biological treatise on the human condition put forward by Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith, who maintains that understanding the cause of our angry, egocentric and alienated behaviour—namely a conflict between our original instincts and acquired conscious intellect—is the key to rehabilitating and transforming the human race.
It is important to note here that while the subject of the human condition is by far the most important of all subjects for the human race to address and solve—it has been described by E.O. Wilson as the holy grail of the whole journey of human thought and enquiry—it is also the most confronting, for some even terrifying, of subjects. This has resulted in some prejudice and misinformation about Griffith and the World Transformation Movement’s work, and where that has occurred it has been strongly countered with rectifying clarification, which you can read about here.

Commendations for the work of Jeremy Griffith and the World Transformation Movement
Jeremy Griffith’s treatise on the human condition has garnered praise from many of the world’s most eminent scientists and thinkers.
Praise for FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition by Jeremy Griffith
‘I think the fastest growing realization everywhere is that humanity can’t go on the way it is going. Indeed, the great fear is we’re entering end game where we appear to have lost the race between self-destruction and self-understanding — the race to find the psychologically relieving explanation of our ‘good and evil’-stricken human condition.
WELL, ASTONISHING AS IT IS, THIS BOOK BY AUSTRALIAN BIOLOGIST JEREMY GRIFFITH PRESENTS THE 11TH HOUR BREAKTHROUGH BIOLOGICAL EXPLANATION OF THE HUMAN CONDITION NECESSARY FOR THE PSYCHOLOGICAL REHABILITATION AND TRANSFORMATION OF OUR SPECIES!
What this book of books, in fact this greatest of all books, does is take humanity from a state of bewilderment about the nature of human behavior and existence to a state of profound understanding of our lives — understanding that drains away all the pain, suffering, confusion and conflict from the world. This is the book we have been waiting for, it is THE BOOK THAT SAVES THE WORLD!’
Former President of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, and former Chair, Psychiatry Department, Medical College of Wisconsin
‘Nothing Dr. Prosen has said about the immense importance of this book is an exaggeration. This is the book all humans need to read for our collective wellbeing.’
PROFESSOR SCOTT D. CHURCHILL,
Former Chair, Psychology Department, University of Dallas
‘The sequence of discussion in FREEDOM is so logical and sensible, providing the necessary breakthrough in the critical issue of needing to understand ourselves.’
PROFESSOR DAVID CHIVERS,
University of Cambridge anthropologist and former President of the Primate Society of Great Britain
‘This book is actually written from a position outside of the human condition. It is just amazing; Griffith walks freely through all the psychosis of our troubled human condition and with such freedom is able to explain everything about us!’
Biologist, mountaineer and twice-honoured Order of Australia recipient
‘I am stunned & honored to have lived to see the coming of “Darwin II”. I say this because after Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection explained the variety of life, Jeremy Griffith has gone on to solve the other four main questions science had to answer about our world and place in it. They are: 1) the dilemma of the human condition, which his instinct vs intellect explanation in chapter 3 of his main, seminal book FREEDOM finally solves; 2) how we humans became fully conscious when other species haven’t, which he answers in chapter 7; 3) the origins of humans’ unique moral nature, which he answers in chapter 5, which it turns out American philosopher John Fiske had already explained in 1874 but mechanistic science had ignored; and 4) the truth of the Integrative Meaning of existence (which we have personified as ‘God’), in chapter 4, which only a rare few thinkers in history have been able to recognize. And having been able to solve those primary issues he has, in chapter 8, using first principle and fully accountable biological explanations been able to resolve all the secondary problems like: the polarized state of politics; the rift between men and women; the schism between science and religion; the conflict between individuals and between races (thus ending aggression and war at its source); and, above all, bring an end to the threat of terminal psychosis and our species’ extinction! A truly phenomenal, beyond description, scientific achievement!’
