Welcome to Jamshed Iqbal: The Perspective
I am Jamshed Iqbal, an author and critical thinker focused on challenging the stories that shape our reality. With a background in peacebuilding and socio-political analysis, this channel explores the fundamental questions of human nature, belief, and history.
We study the logic of error. We ask: Why do civilisations make the same mistakes? Why do we cling to fictional ideas?
Our Mission: To provide perspective and clarity، to use history as a map, not a weapon.
New documentary every week.

Jamshed Iqbal: The Perspective
Einstein said he only went to his office at Princeton just to have the privilege of walking home with Kurt Gödel. One was the master of space-time; the other was the man who broke logic. New video drops today at 4:30 PM PKT.

Jamshed Iqbal: The Perspective
Your mind is the most talented storyteller you will ever meet.
Body: Think back to your favourite childhood memory. The sights, the sounds, the feeling in the air. Now, what if I told you that at least 50% of that memory is a complete fiction?
Every time we remember, we don't play a recording; we rewrite a script.
Today at 4:30 PM, we dive into the science of why your memories are lying to you. From the Mandela Effect to the "false memory" phenomenon, we’re exploring the fragile architecture of the human past.
The Question: What is one "fact" from your past that you later discovered never actually happened? Tell me in the comments—I’ll be replying to the most fascinating ones!

Jamshed Iqbal: The Perspective
The Revolution Always Devours Its Own Children.
Why does every great leap forward eventually turn on the very people who built it?
Today at 4:30 PM, we apply the dark logic of the Saturn Principle to the upcoming release of Civ 7. Whether in history or in our most advanced simulations, there is a haunting cycle of power and betrayal that we can never seem to escape.
From the blood-soaked streets of the French Revolution to the strategy of the world's most popular empire-builder, let's explore why progress always comes with a price.
Are we building empires... or are we just building our own executioners?
Stay tuned. The documentary drops in just a few hours.

Why I Started The Perspective
For more than twenty-five years, I’ve been living between two worlds:
science, with its hard facts, and the human search for meaning, which is often messy and unsettling.
My upcoming book Ecstasy, Meaning, and Evolution (in Urdu and English) grew out of that journey. But I realized something along the way: some ideas don’t survive on the page alone. They need images, sound, mood. They need to be felt.
That’s why I started The Perspective.
This channel is my attempt to connect evolution with inner life, facts with questions, and Darwin with Pascal. We’re not just watching the universe; we’re part of it, trying to understand itself.
Tomorrow at 6 PM, the full documentary on Blaise Pascal goes live.
I hope you’ll be there.

Jamshed Iqbal: The Perspective
We often speak of faith as a sanctuary, a soft light in the darkness. But what happens when that light becomes blinding? What happens when the promise of salvation is used as a tool for control?
Our latest mini-documentary, 'When Faith Becomes a Prison', is now live.
This isn't an attack on belief; it's an exploration of the unseen psychological scars left behind when spiritual guidance morphs into insidious authority. It’s a conversation about reclaiming your voice, your identity, and your agency from the shadows of chronic guilt and isolation.
To those who have felt the weight of a 'sacred' silence: This one is for you.

I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments—let’s keep this a safe space for reflection.
