On Aggression and its Manifestations in Human Beings by Vesa T. Iitti

In this episode, we descend from the ethereal heights of philosophical abstraction into the shadowed corridors of the human psyche, where the great questions are no longer about the nature of reality but about the nature of ourselves. We explore how Vesa T. Iitti II°—a conscript confronting the machinery of war, a philosopher wrestling with the claims of sociobiology, and an initiate walking the path of Setian self-deification—seized the most urgent questions of our time and dragged them down from the realm of academic debate into the crucible of lived experience. He asks us: Is aggression the engine of our species, or is it merely a symptom of something deeper, something we have refused to face?In a world that still goes to war, still projects its shadows onto others, and still refuses to confront the primal forces within itself, do we have the courage to face our own darkness, or will we continue to project it outward until there is nothing left?🎧 ABOUT THE RUBY TABLETThe Ruby Tablet Podcast is a philosophical and spiritual journey through the essays of the Temple of Set, exploring the great traditions of human thought—from ancient Egypt to the present day.
