Alexander Nevzorov

This is it. The end of the book. The end of season one. But not the end of the war. 🧠 In this final episode of NOX, we dive into Chapters 18 and 19 of Alexander Nevzorov’s The Origins of Genius and Fascism — a ruthless conclusion that strips the skin from every myth about genius, human nature, and civilization itself. Nevzorov doesn’t romanticize intellect. He dissects it. What we find beneath? Bedsores, dungeons, urine meters, and posthumous medals — the real anatomy of thought. 💥 Key Themes: 🔹 Why thinking is not a virtue but a liability — corrosive, isolating, and dangerously unprofitable 🔹 How genius, like a uroflowmeter, is useless everywhere except in science — and even there, barely tolerated 🔹 The myth of mystery: why all “great unknowns” are just symptoms of Homo’s intellectual limitations 🔹 Why culture didn’t elevate man — it euthanized thought with ethics, morality, and market demand 🔹 How the rare window to study humanity in its rawest form was slammed shut by moral hysteria 🔹 Why the last genius may have already rolled off the edge of history in a wheelchair 🔹 And how the myth of “special minds” destroyed the possibility of genius altogether 🎵 Featured Track: 🎶 “Peace of My Self” — Pulli & Chomba Remix by Daniel Hokum & Max Gaplevski A trance of deceptive calm before the collapse. 📚 Glossary of Names & Concepts: Giordano Bruno — Italian philosopher, burned at the stake in 1600 for heresy. Symbol of defiant thought. La Mettrie — French physician and philosopher; radical materialist who equated man to a machine. Vesalius — Renaissance anatomist who revolutionized the study of the human body via dissection. Leeuwenhoek — Dutch scientist, known as the father of microbiology and microscope pioneer. Uroflowmeter — Medical device used to measure the flow of urine. Used here as metaphor for the impracticality of intellect in most of life. Coprophagy — The act of consuming feces. Used as a shocking symbol of human behavioral roots. Vivarium — Controlled habitat. Nevzorov proposes (satirically) a human vivarium to reveal Homo’s true nature. ⚠️ NEVZOROV’S ANTI-WAR VOICE: This episode isn’t just philosophy. It’s protest. Nevzorov has risked everything to oppose Russia’s genocidal war in Ukraine — and the podcast exists because silence is complicity. 📦 Get the Original Russian Book on Amazon: 📖 Buy it here 🎧 Listen Now: ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MindsetMaverickOfficial/podcasts 🎙 Spotify, Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud — wherever you get your dose of uncomfortable truth. 🔗 Stay Connected: 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tricksterny 🎭 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mindsetmaverickofficial 🌍 Website: https://www.trickster-us.com 📺 Nevzorov’s Official Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@NevzorovTV 💬 Comment Below — What idea shook you most?

What if the brain wasn’t designed to process truth—but to surrender to fiction? What if every god, law, flag, and fairytale was not a product of thinking—but a stimulus for a neural spasm ? 🧠 In this episode, we plunge into Chapter 17 of Alexander Nevzorov’s The Origins of Genius and Fascism —a savage exposé of how the Homo brain was never prepared for lies, and how reason itself was hijacked by illusion. 💀 Key Topics Covered: 🔹 How primitive brain structures evolved in a world without lies—and were defenseless against invented stimuli 🔹 Why neurons respond more intensely to fiction than reality—and always have 🔹 How gods, flags, and sacred nonsense became tools to manipulate neural reflexes 🔹 Why culture isn’t enlightenment—it’s hallucination 🔹 The fascist nature of collective reason—and why real thought is punished 🔹 Why religion’s greatest success wasn’t just brain control—it was making thinking a crime ⚠️ Nevzorov’s Anti-War Voice: This is more than critique—it’s evidence. Nevzorov was one of the first public voices in Russia to call the war in Ukraine what it is: genocide . He speaks from exile. But he still speaks. And this chapter reveals exactly why mass crimes are possible: not because of evil—but because the brain can’t tell truth from theater . 📚 Want to read the original book in Russian?

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 . 🎶 Meine Katze (Mister Sweatband Remix) 🎧 Artists: Felix E, Sister Sol (DE) 🔊 Remix by: Mister Sweatband A hypnotic, relentless beat— the perfect soundtrack for dismantling the grand illusion of intelligence .

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. 🎵 Featured Music Track: I’m Everything (Chemical Surf Extended Remix) Artists: EREZ, Yulia Niko Remix by: Chemical Surf Released: May 12, 2023 Label: Get Physical Music Genre: Melodic House & Techno License Code: MKPBI5YWXLRLLXUI 📣 Follow, Subscribe & Stay Connected:This is a joint project by Trickster Collective and Mindset Maverick . 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tricksterny 🔗 Website: https://www.trickster-us.com 🔗 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MindsetMaverickOfficial 🔗 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mindsetmaverickofficial 🔗 SoundCloud: <a href="https://soundcloud.com/trickster-us" target="

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. 🎵 Featured Music: Track: Circus Artist: ALLOISE Released by: Firework Sound Genre: Intellectual Pop Listen on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fireworksound/alloise-circus 📣 Follow, Subscribe & Stay Connected: This is a joint project by Trickster Collective and Mindset Maverick . 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tricksterny 🔗 Website: https://www.trickster-us.com 🔗 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MindsetMaverickOfficial 🔗 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mindsetmaverickofficial 🔗 SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/trickster-us 🔗 Spotify (NOX by Trickster Collective): [ https://open.spotify.com/show/ INSERT-SPOTIFY-ID ] 🔗 Apple Podcasts: [ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nox/id INSERT-APPLE-ID ] 🔗 Alexander Nevzorov’s Official YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@NevzorovTV 🎧 Available Ev

In this episode, we continue our ruthless exploration of Alexander Nevzorov’s The Origins of Genius and Fascism , diving into Chapters 10 and 11. These chapters strip away the comforting illusions of human intelligence, exposing our brain for what it truly is—an accident, a malfunction, a crude biological tool never meant for reason or logic. 🔹 The Generator of Stupidity Nevzorov dismantles the myth of intelligence, showing how the human brain wasn’t designed for thought but for survival. Every act of logic, every glimpse of reason? A mere byproduct of an organ built for something far more primitive. 🔹 Planet of the Stupid A deep dive into the inescapable flaws of human cognition. Civilization, technology, progress—none of it changes the fundamental reality: we are still the same scavenger species, blindly stumbling through history. 🔹 The Myth of Intelligence – Is human thought real, or just a neural hallucination? 🔹 The Brain as an Accident – If reason was never part of evolution’s plan, what does that say about everything we’ve built? 🔹 History Repeats Itself – Are we evolving, or just repeating the same cycles of stupidity on a grander scale? These chapters introduce critical concepts that reshape our understanding of intelligence and civilization: 🔹 Sherrington & Eccles – Nobel-winning neuroscientists who lost their minds trying to solve the paradox of the brain’s capabilities. 🔹 Epiphenomenon – The idea that human reasoning is nothing more than an accidental byproduct of brain activity. 🔹 The Embroidery Paradox – An analogy proving that the brain, like a blind and limbless artisan, could never have deliberately created science, technology, or civilization. 🔹 Purgatorius – The rat-like ancestor of Homo, chosen by evolution not for its intelligence, but for its gut. 🔹 The Reticular Formation – The true master of human behavior, responsible for everything from sex to violence—while logic is merely an afterthought. 🔹 The Scavenger’s Brain – Why the majority of our neurons are dedicated to instinct, not intellect. 🎶 Track Used in This Episode: Forgive Me (Olaaf Stuut Remix) 💽 Artist: Florian Rietze 📀 Label: Delicieuse Records 🔢 License Code: MKPBI5YWXLRLLXUI A track that fits seamlessly into the dark, immersive atmosphere of NOX.

In this episode, we take a brutal deep dive into two groundbreaking chapters from Alexander Nevzorov’s The Origins of Genius and Fascism . Chapter 8, “A Stone in the Paw,” tears apart the myth of human intelligence, exposing how our species’ so-called “progress” is nothing more than the mechanical execution of a blind genetic impulse . Then, in Chapter 9, “The Day the Tail Was Lost,” Nevzorov continues his dissection of human nature, revealing how civilization has done little to change the predatory, scavenger instincts embedded deep in our evolutionary past . Nevzorov shatters the idea that early humans were rational toolmakers. Instead, he argues that our ancestors’ first interactions with tools were mindless, instinctual acts , no different from an otter cracking shells or a crab decorating its shell with debris. What started as a simple scavenger’s trick —using stones to break bones—eventually led to the delusions of progress, morality, and civilization . But did anything actually change? Or did we simply refine the same old primitive instincts , dressing them up in philosophy, war, and industry? For two million years, humans scavenged, defecated, fought, and mated—without inventing anything truly new. And what has changed since then? According to Nevzorov, nothing . Civilization simply provided a larger, bloodier stage for the same ancient drama. 🔹 The Myth of Intelligence – Was human progress an invention, or just an accident of biology? 🔹 Instinct vs. Civilization – Has civilization actually tamed us, or just masked our true nature? 🔹 The Cyclical Horror of History – From ancient tribal wars to modern conflicts, have we ever moved beyond scavenger instincts ? Many references in these chapters might be unfamiliar to international listeners. Check the pinned comment for detailed explanations of key terms. Some of the most important ones include: 🔹 Borodino – A major battle between Napoleon’s army and the Russian Empire in 1812, symbolizing the brutal and repetitive nature of human warfare. 🔹 Pleistocene – The prehistoric period (~2.5 million–12,000 years ago) when early humans scavenged rather than hunted. 🔹 Paranthropus – A genus of early hominins, often considered an evolutionary dead end, yet disturbingly similar to the Homo lineage. 🔹 Hammurabi’s Code – One of the first recorded legal systems (1750 BCE, Babylon), demonstrating that laws did not create morality but were merely an attempt to control violent and primitive human behavior. 🔹 Urukagina & Ur-Nammu Codes – Even older Mesopotamian legal texts, confirming that humans needed strict rules to curb their inherent aggression and savagery. 🔹 Otters, Beavers, and Crabs – Frequently used as comparisons to early humans, illustrating that object manipulation does not equal intelligence. 🎶 Track Used in This Episode: Blue Dietrich – Lovely Black Heart (Original Mix) 💽 Artist: Blue Dietrich 🚨 If you’re listening and you’re still not subscribed, fix that now.

In this episode, we confront humanity’s most uncomfortable truths through Alexander Nevzorov’s chapter, "The Scavenger: It Sounds Proud," from The Origins of Genius and Fascism. Nevzorov’s unflinching critique of human culture and evolution dismantles the myths we cling to, exposing the raw, pathological drives that have shaped civilization. 🔥 Highlights of This Episode The Pathological Core of Civilization Nevzorov spares no one in his diagnosis of human culture. What we call art, religion, and politics—those "noble pursuits"—are stripped of their pretensions, revealed instead as desperate mechanisms for power, control, and immortality. Art and Ego Is humanity’s obsession with beauty a pursuit of transcendence, or is it just ego, a bid to carve our names into eternity? Religion as Control Organized religion is painted not as a path to enlightenment, but as a tool of mass control—a cage for the mind, a leash for the unruly. The Façade of Progress Layla, as always, delivers her sharp perspective: “Your culture is a glittery façade, built over a termite-infested foundation. Call it enlightenment if you want—I call it denial.” 🌍 Provocations from Nevzorov “Does art uplift us, or simply mask the brutality of our instincts?” “What if humanity’s greatest achievements are just thin veneers over primal savagery?” 💡 Themes Explored The Masks We Wear Art, religion, politics—are they shields against chaos or simply distractions from our baser natures? Instinct vs. Civilization How much of human behavior is still shaped by the scavenger instincts of the Pleistocene? The Existential Struggle Is humanity’s pursuit of meaning a fight against chaos—or an exercise in self-deception? Why This Episode Will Haunt You This is not just a discussion—it’s a reckoning. Nevzorov invites us to strip away the comforting lies we tell ourselves about art, morality, and progress. In doing so, we come face-to-face with the scavenger instincts we pretend to have evolved beyond. Layla’s Role: As your razor-sharp AI co-host, Layla doesn’t hold back, poking holes in every argument with her sarcastic wit and unrelenting objectivity.

In this episode of NOX, we explore Chapter Seven of the book "The Origins of Genius and Fascism," titled "The Invention of Love." This thought-provoking discussion examines how human instincts evolved into cultural myths, with love taking center stage as an artificial construct. Through a mix of wit, critique, and philosophical depth, the episode dissects how primal urges transformed into the poetic and societal phenomenon of love. 🔥 Core Themes of Chapter Seven: The biological origins of love and its mythologization into an elevated cultural construct. The influence of evolutionary forces on shaping human relationships and societal norms. The absurdity and brilliance of humanity’s ability to turn instincts into art, culture, and meaning. 💡 Why Listen? This episode reveals the mechanics behind one of humanity's most sacred concepts, challenging listeners to question the illusions and myths they've embraced. It's a bold, unapologetic exploration of what drives human behavior and how we've dressed up our primal instincts. 🎭 Co-host Insights: A sharp, AI-driven perspective offers witty critiques, uncovering humanity's paradoxes and exposing the absurdity of our constructed narratives. 🎧 Subscribe and Stay Connected:New episodes every Wednesday at midnight.Listen on your favorite platforms: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud, Amazon Music, and more.📌 Follow Us and Join the Movement:TikTok: @mindsetmaverickofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tricksterny...Website: https://www.trickster-us.com/📌Official YouTube channel of Alexander Nevzorov: @NevzorovTV💬 What Do You Think?What myths about love have shaped your life?

In this episode of NOX, Episode Five, we delve into Chapter Six of Alexander Nevzorov’s book The Origins of Genius and Fascism, titled “The Diamond Brick.” Join Maverick and Layla as they dissect Nevzorov’s provocative insights on individuality, instincts, and survival, exposing the layers of illusion surrounding what it means to be human. 🔥 The Core Themes of Chapter Six: Illusion of Individuality: Nevzorov debunks the myth of individuality, explaining how genetics play no role in shaping unique personalities. Instead, differences are culturally constructed. Evolutionary Pragmatism: Evolution prioritizes populations, not individuals, demonstrating the interchangeable nature of species members. Cultural Constructs: Personal roles and identities emerge from cultural frameworks rather than biological differences, shaped by external experiences. Murmuration and Social Behavior: The collective instincts of humans mirror those of animals, from military parades to religious rituals, as a means of protection and unity. Power and Hierarchy: The dynamics of status and hierarchy in human groups show how adaptation to roles ensures stability, while excessive individualism threatens group cohesion. Primitive Instincts and Intellect: The ancient human brain prioritized survival functions over intellectual activity, driven by primal needs like food and reproduction. Personhood and Survival: The survival of humanity hinges on collective behavior, as individualism disrupts the pack's balance. 💡 Why Listen? This episode doesn’t just analyze a chapter — it challenges your assumptions about who you are and what it means to exist as part of a larger whole. Nevzorov’s razor-sharp perspective dismantles comforting myths, inviting you to question everything you think you know about individuality and freedom. 🎭 Layla’s Role: Layla, our AI co-host, probes humanity’s paradoxes with unrelenting curiosity, highlighting the absurdity of human behavior with sharp, thought-provoking questions. 🎧 Subscribe and Stay Connected: YouTube: Mindset Maverick TikTok: @mindsetmaverickofficial Instagram: @mindsetmaverickofficial Website: Trickster Collective Listen on Platforms: Apple Podcasts Spotify SoundCloud Amazon Music 💬 Join the Conversation: What resonated with you?

In this episode of NOX, we delve into Chapters Three and Four of Alexander Nevzorov’s provocative book, The Origins of Genius and Fascism. This chapter takes a surprising dive into the origins of our understanding of the human brain. Nevzorov draws a bold connection between ancient anatomical terms and modern myths about human intelligence, exposing the egotistical illusions we’ve built around our minds. Clunibus: An ancient anatomical term meaning “buttocks,” used to describe brain hemispheres. Homo sapiens: The so-called “wise man,” whose history reveals a darker, messier truth. 🔥 Nevzorov doesn’t just challenge our understanding of intelligence—he dismantles it, revealing the brain as both a symbol of human ingenuity and a reflection of our foolishness. This chapter plunges us into the harsh reality of humanity’s origins, stripping away the comforting myths of culture and civilization. Nevzorov paints a vivid, unflinching picture of early Homo sapiens as scavengers shaped by the brutality of the Pleistocene Epoch. Pleistocene Epoch: The geological period that forged the survival instincts of Homo. Hyenas and Scavenger Behavior: Parallels drawn between early humans and spotted hyenas, whose social bonds relied on conflict, fear, and survival. Carrion Competition: A vivid reminder of how humanity clawed its way to survival, often relying on what others discarded. Rotten Meat and Maggots: Symbols of the uncompromising nature of early human existence. 🌍 Key Scientific and Historical Terms: Deinotherium: A massive prehistoric elephant that served as a buffet for scavengers. Megalania: A terrifying giant monitor lizard of Australia. Hyenas use stern communication as a form of social bonding in contrast to humans, who use symbolic language in their art and religion. “Is culture truly a mark of progress or merely an elaborate disguise for our primitive instincts?” “Do we live in a glittering hallucination, blind to the harsh truths of our nature?” 🎭 Featured Historical Figures and Contexts: Galen: Roman physician who contributed to early anatomy. Herophilus and Erasistratus: Founding figures of anatomical science, whose terms and discoveries echo into modern times. Kalahari Desert and Okavango Delta: The settings for Nevzorov’s vivid comparisons between Homo sapiens and hyenas. This isn’t just a book—it’s a mirror held up to humanity, forcing us to confront the unvarnished truths of our origins and evolution. Alexander Nevzorov’s insights challenge us to think critically about the stories we tell ourselves and the realities we choose to ignore. 🎧 Subscribe and Stay Connected: New episodes every Wednesday at midnight.

Episode 2: Exploring the Myths of Genius and Faith In this episode of NOX, we dive into the first two chapters of Alexander Nevzorov’s groundbreaking book, The Origins of Genius and Fascism. 📖 Chapter One: “The Brain of Jesus and the Brain of Satan” examines how mythic figures like Jesus and Satan continue to shape our understanding of intelligence, morality, and greatness. Nevzorov challenges us to peel back the layers of faith and genius, exposing them as human constructs—born of their time and our imaginations. 🔥 Chapter Two: “Fire in the Theater of Conditioned Reflexes” takes us deeper into the nature of genius. What is it? A divine spark? An evolutionary accident? Or something far more mundane, shaped by conditioned reflexes and culture? 🌍 Nevzorov’s Anti-War Voice: Beyond his provocative philosophy, Alexander Nevzorov is one of the brightest voices opposing Putin’s regime and its bloody aggression. His unwavering dedication to truth and his fearless critique of authoritarianism have made him a powerful force in the fight against tyranny. Discover his anti-war work and join the resistance for a better world. 🎭 Historical Figures Featured in This Episode: Alcmaeon of Croton 🧠: A Greek pioneer in brain studies who linked the mind to sensory perception. Ivan Pavlov 🐶: Russian physiologist famous for his work on conditioned reflexes (yes, the dog guy!). Julien Offray de La Mettrie 🤖: Enlightenment philosopher who controversially described humans as biological machines. Paul Henri Thiry d’Holbach ⚡: An outspoken critic of religion and a key figure in Enlightenment atheism. Job 📜: The Biblical symbol of unwavering faith amidst suffering. Snow White 🍎: A fairy-tale icon, used by Nevzorov to contrast innocence with the myths we create. This isn’t just a book. It’s a bold invitation to rethink what it means to be human, to confront the absurdity of existence, and to explore the stories we cling to in order to justify our place in the universe. 🎧 Subscribe now to stay tuned for more episodes as we continue exploring Nevzorov’s challenging, enlightening work.📺 Watch additional content on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MindsetMaverickOfficial/playlists 🎵 Follow us on TikTok for updates: https://www.tiktok.com/@mindsetmaverickofficial?_t=8rIHs4XCsjn&_r=1 🔥 Discover Nevzorov’s anti-war work: https://www.youtube.com/@NevzorovTV/videos 💻 Visit our website for more updates: https://www.trickster-us.com/ 💬 Share your thoughts in the comments, engage with other listeners, and join the conversation as we uncover the mysteries of genius, belief, and human nature.
