WE WERE NEVER SLAVES!

The Neuropolitics of Being Human:
Solving the Impossible, Healing Our Mosaic Selves

What if someone proved that the story you’ve believed about being human fostered false memories of some people as superior — and others not quite human?

What if someone showed you a 2,500 year-old open secret *slave* spell that legalized inequality and is still in play — today?

No one taught you the neuropolitics of being human. Since you didn’t know — now you know.

About the book

LEARN about the Neuro-politics of being human with Seven Strategies to Break the *Slave* Spell

1
What Really Happened: 24 Ethnocide Harms
The Just War Against Enemies of Christ, and Camouflaged Crimes Against Humanity–classifying the full spectrum of moral, political, psychological and epistemic violence.
2
Sankofa: Hacking His-story and reckoning the Game of Frames
A precise ledger of Crimes Against Humanity — classifying the full spectrum of moral, political, and epistemic violence.
3
Clearing the Brain Fog, Stopping the Brain Rot
Brain fog is not a clinical diagnosis; rather it is the foggy mental environment of fear, fallacy and fantasy the billionaire class create to keep societies of minds from seeing reality: it’s a power play. Stopping the brain rot is discovering the truth of your story, then living it.
4
Wait, Wait.. Discerning the Spell They Put on Us
This is about perception and persuasion. 2300 years ago the Greek political philosopher Aristotle created the spell of oppression–the rhetoric of dehumanization. Then the Romans advanced it. We discern how speech spreads and amplifies it; and learn how to not be enchanted, bamboozled, and counter it.
5
Plasticity: Everything Changes
Through curiosity, openness, and vulnerability — cultivate connection, collaboration, compassion, and wisdom.
6
Transform Trauma’ s Drama
We learn about “traumatic resilience,” the cognitive technology and survival strategies plantation-prison camp captives developed to manage chronic hostile stress. They recovered the real AI–ancestral intelligence. This tool-kit was social epigenetically passed across generations to the current generation.
6
The Mosaic Self-Model
A radically new brain science-based theory of the person developed by Hunter Adams and transcultural forensic psychiatrist and African and Chinese traditional medicine practitioner, Patricia Ann Newton, M.D., M.P.H. M.A. that explains how we build models of the world, our relationships, why our diverse identities clash — and how they get hijacked. We learn keys to destroy maladaptive default mode self-models and create authentic self-models to solve the impossible–heal our mosaic societies.
No fluff No filters No fakery

This book is psychologically charged and emotionally explosive. It marries brain and consciousness research, simulation theory, political science, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and ethics to hack history, humble hierarchies of dominance, and enact restful resistance.

Adams takes you on an adventure through the brain fog of bamboozlement, forests of falsehood, and valleys of invisible moral, political, and epistemic violence — toward a new horizon of truth at the edges of knowledge.

Adams exposes Slavery’s Strange Fruit, classifies Crimes Against Humanity with a ledger of 24 Ethnocide Harms, and explains Why Ancestors Matter.

Jazz shows us that we already have the improvisational power to solve the impossible. Our future Ancestors are counting on us.
