00:01:02,079 handle in 90 minutes but we'll give it a 21 00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:03,039 shot 22 00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:04,080 i think we're going to solve it i'm 23 00:01:06,950 --> 00:01:05,680 pretty confident we'll just uh crack 24 00:01:09,910 --> 00:01:06,960 this 25 00:01:13,350 --> 00:01:09,920 total synthesis 26 00:01:16,749 --> 00:01:13,360 many have tried uh all have failed um 27 00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:16,759 yes so the topic for today's show is on 28 00:01:23,190 --> 00:01:20,080 disclosure and what that means so 29 00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:23,200 no small topic at all uh we will do our 30 00:01:27,350 --> 00:01:25,520 best to cover as much as we can 31 00:01:29,429 --> 00:01:27,360 in this hour and a half 32 00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:29,439 um but like all our shows we're hoping 33 00:01:32,950 --> 00:01:31,040 that this sparks uh additional 34 00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:32,960 conversation we're hoping that uh this 35 00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:35,600 gets you thinking and get gets you to 36 00:01:38,789 --> 00:01:37,520 want to participate i can say for me 37 00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:38,799 personally one of the things i enjoy the 38 00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:41,520 most about our show and our audience is 39 00:01:45,670 --> 00:01:43,200 reading the comments that people leave 40 00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:45,680 on youtube about the show or seeing what 41 00:01:49,429 --> 00:01:47,520 people say about it on twitter 42 00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:49,439 we read every single one of those things 43 00:01:52,950 --> 00:01:51,280 we think about them and and we very much 44 00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:52,960 want to incorporate 45 00:01:57,109 --> 00:01:54,960 you know audience questions and thoughts 46 00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:57,119 into the shows that we're doing 47 00:02:02,789 --> 00:01:58,240 so looking forward to hearing what 48 00:02:06,950 --> 00:02:04,550 so exo 49 00:02:08,949 --> 00:02:06,960 disclosure capital d disclosure 50 00:02:10,869 --> 00:02:08,959 let's unpack this a little bit uh where 51 00:02:13,030 --> 00:02:10,879 do we even start with this what's a good 52 00:02:14,390 --> 00:02:13,040 place to begin if we were to kick this 53 00:02:16,390 --> 00:02:14,400 off 54 00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:16,400 well uh just what you said there made me 55 00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:18,640 think that it's it's helpful to 56 00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:21,040 distinguish capital d disclosure from 57 00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:22,800 small d disclosure 58 00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:23,520 um 59 00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:25,680 you know when we say capital d i think 60 00:02:29,510 --> 00:02:27,040 we mean 61 00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:29,520 like world changing you know like 62 00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:31,440 you know bc and ad kind of thing you 63 00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:34,400 know it's like after disclosure um 64 00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:36,560 in fact i think richard dolan did a book 65 00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:39,680 playing on that um the notion that 66 00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:41,680 the world will be changed forever our 67 00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:43,920 civilization will never be the same 68 00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:47,040 once this is acknowledged publicly 69 00:02:51,350 --> 00:02:49,120 that we are not alone 70 00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:51,360 there we are being visited by others and 71 00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:52,720 perhaps even more so they've been 72 00:02:56,070 --> 00:02:54,560 interacting with us perhaps even shaping 73 00:02:58,149 --> 00:02:56,080 our civilization 74 00:02:59,670 --> 00:02:58,159 what have you um 75 00:03:01,350 --> 00:02:59,680 it's a huge topic 76 00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:01,360 i think i think it's important to get 77 00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:03,040 into because 78 00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:04,480 many people have different assumptions 79 00:03:07,589 --> 00:03:05,920 about it you know some people are 80 00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:07,599 convinced that the government knows a 81 00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:08,640 lot 82 00:03:14,149 --> 00:03:12,080 and um maybe even our you know only 83 00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:14,159 holding back because they want to retain 84 00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:16,560 their power over society kind of like a 85 00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:18,800 marxist kind of perspective you know 86 00:03:23,430 --> 00:03:21,120 and uh so the weak people don't get to 87 00:03:25,910 --> 00:03:23,440 hear about it and they know everything 88 00:03:27,830 --> 00:03:25,920 everything from that perspective down to 89 00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:27,840 this is so complex 90 00:03:32,229 --> 00:03:31,040 and so paradigm shattering that 91 00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:32,239 even the government doesn't really know 92 00:03:36,070 --> 00:03:33,760 what's going on and what they're most 93 00:03:37,990 --> 00:03:36,080 terrified about is the public learning 94 00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:38,000 about this and then realizing they don't 95 00:03:42,869 --> 00:03:39,840 really know how to handle it or stop it 96 00:03:45,830 --> 00:03:42,879 or respond to it either so that's a huge 97 00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:45,840 spectrum and uh we'll get into where we 98 00:03:49,509 --> 00:03:48,000 think things really stand but that's an 99 00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:49,519 interesting perspective to begin on 100 00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:51,680 because again what people think 101 00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:53,760 disclosure entails really depends on the 102 00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:55,040 individual 103 00:03:58,630 --> 00:03:57,200 absolutely yeah well what he said right 104 00:04:02,309 --> 00:03:58,640 there just made me jump right to the 105 00:04:04,309 --> 00:04:02,319 fact that you know we cannot 106 00:04:06,949 --> 00:04:04,319 take ourselves out of the world in which 107 00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:06,959 we live we we're grounded in a world 108 00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:09,840 that is incredibly large that is 109 00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:11,840 highly interconnected 110 00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:13,120 there are many 111 00:04:17,110 --> 00:04:14,400 geopolitical 112 00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:17,120 forces at work in all of our lives that 113 00:04:21,270 --> 00:04:19,440 that have an influence over over how we 114 00:04:24,469 --> 00:04:21,280 live from from day to day 115 00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:24,479 and it's it's not being hyperbolic to 116 00:04:29,430 --> 00:04:27,040 say that these state actors of which we 117 00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:29,440 are apart have information and knowledge 118 00:04:32,790 --> 00:04:31,040 that we don't have 119 00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:32,800 uh this is just a fact 120 00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:35,520 and so it's not too hard for us to and 121 00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:38,160 to see why people would jump from that 122 00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:40,160 that truth which i think we can all 123 00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:43,199 agree on to these other sort of 124 00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:45,840 grander kind of conspiratorial thoughts 125 00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:47,520 about 126 00:04:51,670 --> 00:04:49,840 how much they know and and why they 127 00:04:53,749 --> 00:04:51,680 would keep it secret and as you 128 00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:53,759 mentioned this exertion of control over 129 00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:56,400 the population because a dumb population 130 00:05:01,350 --> 00:04:58,800 is just is just more docile and easy to 131 00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:01,360 uh to wrangle um you know 132 00:05:07,189 --> 00:05:03,840 that's in and of itself a very sort of 133 00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:07,199 nice and neat and tidy narrative about 134 00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:08,800 uh state power 135 00:05:12,150 --> 00:05:10,400 that i think 136 00:05:14,070 --> 00:05:12,160 we've just been we've been born into 137 00:05:15,590 --> 00:05:14,080 we've inherited that and that's that's 138 00:05:18,469 --> 00:05:15,600 kind of the landscape that we find 139 00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:18,479 ourselves so i i one of the 140 00:05:23,350 --> 00:05:20,160 reasons why i want to tackle this topic 141 00:05:26,550 --> 00:05:23,360 is really i think to try to expose 142 00:05:28,230 --> 00:05:26,560 some of these notions generally because 143 00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:28,240 examining them 144 00:05:31,590 --> 00:05:30,080 and and walking through their 145 00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:31,600 implications 146 00:05:36,070 --> 00:05:33,919 kind of takes a ah 147 00:05:38,469 --> 00:05:36,080 takes away some of their 148 00:05:40,629 --> 00:05:38,479 um 149 00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:40,639 over power you know that there there's 150 00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:43,360 this notion that um 151 00:05:46,469 --> 00:05:44,560 you know you're we're all just kind of 152 00:05:48,790 --> 00:05:46,479 led along by 153 00:05:50,710 --> 00:05:48,800 this great big you know nanny stage or 154 00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:50,720 whatever and and just as just one 155 00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:52,560 example and by holding that out and 156 00:05:55,990 --> 00:05:54,080 saying well is that really the case is 157 00:05:58,550 --> 00:05:56,000 it really the case that there's this you 158 00:06:01,350 --> 00:05:58,560 know sort of highly coordinated cabal of 159 00:06:04,150 --> 00:06:01,360 evil leaders that are you know doing xyz 160 00:06:06,629 --> 00:06:04,160 when we know that many governments are 161 00:06:08,309 --> 00:06:06,639 composed of our neighbors uh and and 162 00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:08,319 their children and you know it's it's 163 00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:10,240 much more complicated than that so 164 00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:11,520 that's one of the ways that i look at 165 00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:14,160 this as a as an opportunity for us to 166 00:06:18,790 --> 00:06:16,080 uh you know kind of lay bear some of 167 00:06:20,550 --> 00:06:18,800 these assumptions that we have about 168 00:06:22,950 --> 00:06:20,560 uh who's in control or who has 169 00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:22,960 information and really ask ourselves is 170 00:06:27,029 --> 00:06:25,199 that right is that really how it is 171 00:06:29,830 --> 00:06:27,039 are these kinds of are these assumptions 172 00:06:31,749 --> 00:06:29,840 fair to place on top of these government 173 00:06:33,909 --> 00:06:31,759 actors 174 00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:33,919 yeah good point and i think you know we 175 00:06:38,230 --> 00:06:36,720 we should probably start with um 176 00:06:40,710 --> 00:06:38,240 talking about that what do we mean by 177 00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:40,720 the government right when we say 178 00:06:44,550 --> 00:06:42,880 what does the government know first of 179 00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:44,560 all when we just like when we say the 180 00:06:49,270 --> 00:06:47,280 ufo phenomenon right you know how much i 181 00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:49,280 am on this thing about probably multiple 182 00:06:53,350 --> 00:06:50,800 actors multiple 183 00:06:55,430 --> 00:06:53,360 sources agendas etc 184 00:06:57,909 --> 00:06:55,440 well in the same way we can't treat the 185 00:06:58,790 --> 00:06:57,919 government as this monolithic term 186 00:07:00,870 --> 00:06:58,800 uh 187 00:07:03,029 --> 00:07:00,880 it's grouped by like you said our 188 00:07:05,110 --> 00:07:03,039 neighbors coming from a variety of world 189 00:07:06,790 --> 00:07:05,120 views and backgrounds and perspectives 190 00:07:08,950 --> 00:07:06,800 and biases 191 00:07:11,350 --> 00:07:08,960 but also government is full of different 192 00:07:12,469 --> 00:07:11,360 organizations um 193 00:07:14,070 --> 00:07:12,479 and 194 00:07:15,909 --> 00:07:14,080 on top of that you know a lot of it's 195 00:07:18,629 --> 00:07:15,919 there's a lot of stove typing stove 196 00:07:20,950 --> 00:07:18,639 piping that goes on this sort of siloing 197 00:07:22,309 --> 00:07:20,960 of information where one group won't 198 00:07:24,870 --> 00:07:22,319 necessarily know what another group 199 00:07:26,550 --> 00:07:24,880 knows and that's especially in the top 200 00:07:29,189 --> 00:07:26,560 secret world and that's done for 201 00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:29,199 security reasons that you are more 202 00:07:34,230 --> 00:07:31,360 likely to be able to hold on to secrets 203 00:07:36,230 --> 00:07:34,240 and not have your adversaries we're 204 00:07:37,830 --> 00:07:36,240 talking geopolitically 205 00:07:40,150 --> 00:07:37,840 get access to information when you're 206 00:07:40,950 --> 00:07:40,160 really careful about compartmentalizing 207 00:07:47,270 --> 00:07:40,960 it 208 00:07:49,589 --> 00:07:47,280 complex as the ufo phenomenon and hide 209 00:07:51,510 --> 00:07:49,599 strangeness and paranormality 210 00:07:53,589 --> 00:07:51,520 something as complex as that it gets 211 00:07:55,029 --> 00:07:53,599 very difficult to make sense of it when 212 00:07:57,909 --> 00:07:55,039 you've got these little silos of 213 00:07:59,510 --> 00:07:57,919 information that have little bits of the 214 00:08:02,070 --> 00:07:59,520 data but not all of it 215 00:08:03,029 --> 00:08:02,080 um and on top of that you just get you 216 00:08:07,909 --> 00:08:03,039 know 217 00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:07,919 dmv and try to get anything done in a 218 00:08:10,790 --> 00:08:09,280 timely manner 219 00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:10,800 we sometimes forget that that's the 220 00:08:15,029 --> 00:08:12,400 government too when we say the 221 00:08:16,150 --> 00:08:15,039 government dmv is the government right 222 00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:16,160 so 223 00:08:20,070 --> 00:08:18,240 a lot of it is uh 224 00:08:22,390 --> 00:08:20,080 some people that are not paid terribly 225 00:08:25,189 --> 00:08:22,400 well that are overworked that feel under 226 00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:25,199 appreciated uh and on top of that they 227 00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:28,560 exist in these silos uh you know and 228 00:08:33,269 --> 00:08:30,720 and on top of that you know another 229 00:08:36,469 --> 00:08:33,279 challenge is we hear about 230 00:08:38,949 --> 00:08:36,479 some of the the secrets uh have been 231 00:08:40,790 --> 00:08:38,959 moved into the private sector right and 232 00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:40,800 so when we say what does the government 233 00:08:45,509 --> 00:08:43,120 know sometimes what we're really saying 234 00:08:47,509 --> 00:08:45,519 is what did the government know at some 235 00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:47,519 point and then pass it off to the 236 00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:49,120 private sector because 237 00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:50,560 as we've learned those of us who've 238 00:08:53,509 --> 00:08:52,000 looked into this 239 00:08:55,910 --> 00:08:53,519 some of the people in the private sector 240 00:08:57,750 --> 00:08:55,920 researchers there have higher security 241 00:08:59,509 --> 00:08:57,760 clearances than the people supposedly in 242 00:09:01,670 --> 00:08:59,519 governmental positions 243 00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:01,680 so perhaps the secret keepers are in 244 00:09:05,829 --> 00:09:03,360 those places and that's why i say what 245 00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:05,839 do we mean by the government because 246 00:09:10,070 --> 00:09:08,240 some of the the really deep secrets and 247 00:09:12,389 --> 00:09:10,080 the highest degree of knowledge might be 248 00:09:15,350 --> 00:09:12,399 in those private corporations uh even 249 00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:15,360 hal put off in his his recent discussion 250 00:09:19,910 --> 00:09:17,600 with eric weinstein uh talked about that 251 00:09:22,949 --> 00:09:19,920 you know that that yes there are even 252 00:09:26,230 --> 00:09:22,959 perhaps scientific breakthroughs that 253 00:09:28,389 --> 00:09:26,240 exist only in private corporations which 254 00:09:31,590 --> 00:09:28,399 should make our blood boil 255 00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:31,600 seems like capitalism run amok 256 00:09:34,829 --> 00:09:33,680 but that may very well be the case for a 257 00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:34,839 lot of these 258 00:09:39,110 --> 00:09:37,920 matters yeah definitely and i 259 00:09:41,990 --> 00:09:39,120 you know i also want to look at this 260 00:09:44,389 --> 00:09:42,000 from the standpoint of 261 00:09:46,230 --> 00:09:44,399 you know sort of responsibilities um and 262 00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:46,240 just have a mature conversation about 263 00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:48,880 that perspective as well so 264 00:09:52,550 --> 00:09:50,800 you know if you if you're a parent and 265 00:09:54,150 --> 00:09:52,560 you know if you have children uh if 266 00:09:57,030 --> 00:09:54,160 you've ever worked with children in any 267 00:09:59,670 --> 00:09:57,040 way you know you recognize that 268 00:10:01,190 --> 00:09:59,680 being the adult in that relationship you 269 00:10:02,790 --> 00:10:01,200 know you have some sort of default 270 00:10:05,829 --> 00:10:02,800 responsibilities 271 00:10:08,550 --> 00:10:05,839 uh to ensure that those children 272 00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:08,560 you know don't hurt themselves that they 273 00:10:11,829 --> 00:10:10,720 you know don't harm each other 274 00:10:13,590 --> 00:10:11,839 and 275 00:10:16,389 --> 00:10:13,600 you know as much as we don't like to use 276 00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:16,399 this as an example as a metaphor for the 277 00:10:19,670 --> 00:10:17,360 state 278 00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:19,680 it's just a fact that 279 00:10:25,910 --> 00:10:22,720 we have organized ourselves in this way 280 00:10:28,630 --> 00:10:25,920 we have uh we have moved beyond uh sort 281 00:10:29,750 --> 00:10:28,640 of our our small tribal 282 00:10:32,230 --> 00:10:29,760 collective 283 00:10:33,910 --> 00:10:32,240 uh situation and we've aggregated into 284 00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:33,920 these much larger 285 00:10:38,150 --> 00:10:35,760 units that they themselves have their 286 00:10:41,590 --> 00:10:38,160 own sort of structures and systems and 287 00:10:44,230 --> 00:10:41,600 and desires if you will uh and and uh 288 00:10:46,630 --> 00:10:44,240 you know self-perpetuating systems 289 00:10:49,030 --> 00:10:46,640 uh that these things have a 290 00:10:51,829 --> 00:10:49,040 responsibility even though it is not 291 00:10:54,069 --> 00:10:51,839 situated in a singular kind of agency 292 00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:54,079 like like i have a responsibility over 293 00:10:59,670 --> 00:10:56,399 my children but these institutions have 294 00:11:01,910 --> 00:10:59,680 a responsibility to care for 295 00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:01,920 the citizenry of which they are in 296 00:11:05,350 --> 00:11:03,600 charge and that is just a fact whether 297 00:11:07,110 --> 00:11:05,360 we like it or not that's the that's the 298 00:11:08,550 --> 00:11:07,120 world in which we live 299 00:11:11,269 --> 00:11:08,560 and i think 300 00:11:13,190 --> 00:11:11,279 one of the alluring things about 301 00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:13,200 this push for disclosure 302 00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:18,000 is this underlying drive to dismantle 303 00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:21,120 that construct itself you know to say i 304 00:11:26,470 --> 00:11:24,160 am no longer going to be uh you know 305 00:11:27,430 --> 00:11:26,480 sort of kept in the dark we are going to 306 00:11:29,350 --> 00:11:27,440 flatten 307 00:11:31,190 --> 00:11:29,360 the pyramid we are going to give 308 00:11:33,590 --> 00:11:31,200 everyone the information all will be 309 00:11:36,550 --> 00:11:33,600 transparent all will be known and i will 310 00:11:39,430 --> 00:11:36,560 not be treated like a child any longer 311 00:11:41,430 --> 00:11:39,440 and i think while that feels uh very 312 00:11:42,949 --> 00:11:41,440 good and i think you know as a thinking 313 00:11:45,269 --> 00:11:42,959 adult it's like yes i should be 314 00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:45,279 justified in wanting that at the same 315 00:11:50,389 --> 00:11:48,160 time i think we have to be very honest 316 00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:50,399 with ourselves that in order to live in 317 00:11:55,430 --> 00:11:53,680 a world that is not all on the same page 318 00:11:57,190 --> 00:11:55,440 uh that there are you know just 319 00:11:58,150 --> 00:11:57,200 different distinct societies with 320 00:11:59,190 --> 00:11:58,160 different 321 00:12:02,389 --> 00:11:59,200 aims 322 00:12:04,389 --> 00:12:02,399 uh we we rely on our governments to act 323 00:12:06,470 --> 00:12:04,399 in our interests do those do those 324 00:12:09,670 --> 00:12:06,480 actions always align with our interests 325 00:12:12,069 --> 00:12:09,680 no absolutely not but we do rely on them 326 00:12:14,389 --> 00:12:12,079 to act in our interests for the most 327 00:12:17,190 --> 00:12:14,399 part so that our way of living and 328 00:12:20,069 --> 00:12:17,200 society continues and that plays a role 329 00:12:21,910 --> 00:12:20,079 in this conversation and it has to 330 00:12:23,829 --> 00:12:21,920 i totally agree and i think you know we 331 00:12:26,629 --> 00:12:23,839 can get into in a little bit 332 00:12:29,030 --> 00:12:26,639 what we actually think they know they 333 00:12:31,990 --> 00:12:29,040 but i agree with you that it is it is a 334 00:12:34,310 --> 00:12:32,000 complex matter because um 335 00:12:35,990 --> 00:12:34,320 not only do they have this sense of 336 00:12:38,949 --> 00:12:36,000 responsibility 337 00:12:41,030 --> 00:12:38,959 but we have kind of uh laid that on to 338 00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:41,040 them as well you know like we might not 339 00:12:46,389 --> 00:12:42,720 be conscious of that all the time not 340 00:12:49,110 --> 00:12:46,399 cognizant of it but really we're like we 341 00:12:51,990 --> 00:12:49,120 want progress we want truth 342 00:12:53,910 --> 00:12:52,000 but don't take away my two cars don't 343 00:12:56,470 --> 00:12:53,920 take away my four bedroom house don't 344 00:12:58,310 --> 00:12:56,480 take away my job don't change what's 345 00:13:00,150 --> 00:12:58,320 going to be available in the supermarket 346 00:13:02,389 --> 00:13:00,160 you know like we want this smooth 347 00:13:04,710 --> 00:13:02,399 functioning capitalist system that's 348 00:13:06,550 --> 00:13:04,720 based on you know 349 00:13:07,750 --> 00:13:06,560 oil to a large degree still you know 350 00:13:10,629 --> 00:13:07,760 that kind of thing 351 00:13:12,230 --> 00:13:10,639 um a petroleum economy we on the one 352 00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:12,240 hand we recognize that with global 353 00:13:15,590 --> 00:13:13,920 warming and whatnot there are some major 354 00:13:16,550 --> 00:13:15,600 concerns and we need 355 00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:16,560 you know 356 00:13:19,590 --> 00:13:18,720 a really robust response 357 00:13:21,110 --> 00:13:19,600 um 358 00:13:22,629 --> 00:13:21,120 that that movie that came out recently 359 00:13:23,829 --> 00:13:22,639 don't look up kind of talks about that 360 00:13:25,190 --> 00:13:23,839 just how 361 00:13:27,750 --> 00:13:25,200 uh 362 00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:27,760 both society and our leaders are kind of 363 00:13:32,069 --> 00:13:29,760 you know implicit uh you know are 364 00:13:34,230 --> 00:13:32,079 complicit in this um 365 00:13:35,990 --> 00:13:34,240 inability to come up with solutions but 366 00:13:38,310 --> 00:13:36,000 we are also part of the problem because 367 00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:38,320 we are implicitly saying 368 00:13:41,910 --> 00:13:39,680 give us truth 369 00:13:43,590 --> 00:13:41,920 but not too much truth not so much that 370 00:13:45,509 --> 00:13:43,600 it undermines 371 00:13:47,269 --> 00:13:45,519 the structure and the stability of our 372 00:13:48,790 --> 00:13:47,279 system and yet some of what we're 373 00:13:52,310 --> 00:13:48,800 talking about here 374 00:13:53,910 --> 00:13:52,320 is completely destabilizing forget about 375 00:13:56,069 --> 00:13:53,920 uh you know 376 00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:56,079 religions and spiritual takes on this 377 00:14:01,670 --> 00:13:56,880 and 378 00:14:03,350 --> 00:14:01,680 from that perspective just from a 379 00:14:07,030 --> 00:14:03,360 geopolitical 380 00:14:09,269 --> 00:14:07,040 economic perspective um a lot of our 381 00:14:11,189 --> 00:14:09,279 infrastructure will be undermined by 382 00:14:13,189 --> 00:14:11,199 this depending on what what the truth is 383 00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:13,199 right and we can get into that but 384 00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:14,880 i yeah i think it's a good point to 385 00:14:18,710 --> 00:14:17,040 start here by saying that this is more 386 00:14:20,069 --> 00:14:18,720 complex than some people give it credit 387 00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:20,079 for 388 00:14:24,790 --> 00:14:21,440 and that 389 00:14:27,269 --> 00:14:24,800 it's worth it's worth at least asking 390 00:14:30,230 --> 00:14:27,279 what kind of secrets would you think you 391 00:14:32,470 --> 00:14:30,240 would agree would be justifiable to keep 392 00:14:34,710 --> 00:14:32,480 secret in other words are there any 393 00:14:37,110 --> 00:14:34,720 things that if they came out 394 00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:37,120 and some people really do know some 395 00:14:40,949 --> 00:14:38,320 really 396 00:14:43,509 --> 00:14:40,959 deeply destabilizing 397 00:14:45,350 --> 00:14:43,519 aspects about this matter not just in 398 00:14:48,150 --> 00:14:45,360 terms of 399 00:14:49,990 --> 00:14:48,160 aliens but i mean reality itself being 400 00:14:50,790 --> 00:14:50,000 not what we have been taught it is right 401 00:14:52,790 --> 00:14:50,800 and that 402 00:14:54,790 --> 00:14:52,800 if that's what this is pointing towards 403 00:14:57,269 --> 00:14:54,800 in other words are there any kind of 404 00:14:59,590 --> 00:14:57,279 implications or even the fact that you 405 00:15:01,990 --> 00:14:59,600 know maybe if the public knows about it 406 00:15:03,910 --> 00:15:02,000 that also is more likely to create a 407 00:15:06,230 --> 00:15:03,920 negative scenario right a negative 408 00:15:08,310 --> 00:15:06,240 outcome in other words is it sometimes 409 00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:08,320 justifiable to hold back truth because 410 00:15:11,590 --> 00:15:10,079 of what the implication will be if you 411 00:15:13,509 --> 00:15:11,600 let it out 412 00:15:14,629 --> 00:15:13,519 and the last thing i'll say before toss 413 00:15:17,990 --> 00:15:14,639 it back to you 414 00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:18,000 is that like you say the world is a 415 00:15:21,590 --> 00:15:19,440 a place with many different kinds of 416 00:15:23,509 --> 00:15:21,600 people not everyone's working the same 417 00:15:24,629 --> 00:15:23,519 developmental level not every nation 418 00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:24,639 state is working at the same 419 00:15:30,470 --> 00:15:26,720 developmental level you want to be 420 00:15:33,030 --> 00:15:30,480 careful to not let a warlord 421 00:15:34,150 --> 00:15:33,040 get his hands on an anti-grav machine 422 00:15:36,870 --> 00:15:34,160 you know or 423 00:15:39,189 --> 00:15:36,880 or energy that could be turned into a 424 00:15:41,509 --> 00:15:39,199 device that could you know destroy the 425 00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:41,519 fabric of reality or something like that 426 00:15:46,790 --> 00:15:43,519 in other words again it is worth 427 00:15:49,350 --> 00:15:46,800 thinking what kinds of truths would you 428 00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:49,360 consider justifiable to keep secret it's 429 00:15:53,829 --> 00:15:50,959 we have to ask that if we're going to 430 00:15:55,990 --> 00:15:53,839 talk about disclosure 431 00:15:58,310 --> 00:15:56,000 and what's the what's the spectrum here 432 00:16:00,710 --> 00:15:58,320 of of um 433 00:16:01,829 --> 00:16:00,720 of revelation uh and i like that word 434 00:16:02,710 --> 00:16:01,839 and i want to come back to that word 435 00:16:04,389 --> 00:16:02,720 again 436 00:16:06,069 --> 00:16:04,399 later on but 437 00:16:08,069 --> 00:16:06,079 you know when i think about this topic i 438 00:16:10,069 --> 00:16:08,079 think about 439 00:16:12,870 --> 00:16:10,079 kind of very simple 440 00:16:13,990 --> 00:16:12,880 elements of disclosure and very complex 441 00:16:16,949 --> 00:16:14,000 elements 442 00:16:18,230 --> 00:16:16,959 uh on the simple end it's just hey we're 443 00:16:19,269 --> 00:16:18,240 not alone 444 00:16:21,030 --> 00:16:19,279 you know 445 00:16:22,629 --> 00:16:21,040 we're essentially there 446 00:16:24,949 --> 00:16:22,639 already 447 00:16:27,189 --> 00:16:24,959 i think most of our scientific community 448 00:16:29,509 --> 00:16:27,199 the consensus is yeah we're probably not 449 00:16:31,749 --> 00:16:29,519 alone in the universe there's some other 450 00:16:33,749 --> 00:16:31,759 kind of life out there 451 00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:33,759 the numbers are just 452 00:16:36,470 --> 00:16:35,680 too high 453 00:16:38,629 --> 00:16:36,480 so 454 00:16:39,910 --> 00:16:38,639 i would say i would posit that that that 455 00:16:41,829 --> 00:16:39,920 side of the spectrum we're actually 456 00:16:44,310 --> 00:16:41,839 already there we're actually may you 457 00:16:46,230 --> 00:16:44,320 know but what we aren't perhaps is the 458 00:16:47,269 --> 00:16:46,240 the very next level above that which 459 00:16:50,629 --> 00:16:47,279 would be 460 00:16:52,710 --> 00:16:50,639 we're not alone and they're already here 461 00:16:55,430 --> 00:16:52,720 you know they're whatever they are they 462 00:16:58,310 --> 00:16:55,440 have visited here or they're here now 463 00:17:00,550 --> 00:16:58,320 uh you know they're not as far away in 464 00:17:02,150 --> 00:17:00,560 the vast universe as we once thought so 465 00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:02,160 that would be kind of 466 00:17:07,350 --> 00:17:03,600 what i would think would be the very 467 00:17:09,029 --> 00:17:07,360 next step in in a slow roll uh on this 468 00:17:12,150 --> 00:17:09,039 spectrum and then you have the complex 469 00:17:14,630 --> 00:17:12,160 and disclosure that gets into really all 470 00:17:16,230 --> 00:17:14,640 of the details uh and and you know we've 471 00:17:19,350 --> 00:17:16,240 talked about this a lot 472 00:17:21,029 --> 00:17:19,360 uh if you are 473 00:17:22,309 --> 00:17:21,039 trying to uh 474 00:17:25,029 --> 00:17:22,319 teach or 475 00:17:25,990 --> 00:17:25,039 or or convey information that is going 476 00:17:29,270 --> 00:17:26,000 to 477 00:17:31,510 --> 00:17:29,280 impact the mental space of every living 478 00:17:33,190 --> 00:17:31,520 person on the planet 479 00:17:35,350 --> 00:17:33,200 you have to do that in a win a 480 00:17:37,830 --> 00:17:35,360 responsible way you can't necessarily 481 00:17:40,150 --> 00:17:37,840 just go immediately to 482 00:17:41,510 --> 00:17:40,160 the litany of complex things that that 483 00:17:43,350 --> 00:17:41,520 we might know 484 00:17:45,510 --> 00:17:43,360 and say okay hey uh 485 00:17:47,669 --> 00:17:45,520 here here you go here's the 486 00:17:50,230 --> 00:17:47,679 you know the the giant novel that 487 00:17:53,190 --> 00:17:50,240 explains everything that we know uh good 488 00:17:54,549 --> 00:17:53,200 luck processing that uh you know get 489 00:17:55,990 --> 00:17:54,559 back to us with questions you know it 490 00:17:57,990 --> 00:17:56,000 just it's not going 491 00:17:58,789 --> 00:17:58,000 to think that it could roll out like 492 00:18:01,590 --> 00:17:58,799 that 493 00:18:03,190 --> 00:18:01,600 to me would be incredibly dangerous 494 00:18:04,950 --> 00:18:03,200 although it would be very you know 495 00:18:07,830 --> 00:18:04,960 scintillating oh great you know we get 496 00:18:10,230 --> 00:18:07,840 all these great answers but uh what then 497 00:18:12,470 --> 00:18:10,240 and uh and and who all can handle it 498 00:18:15,590 --> 00:18:12,480 even those who i think have 499 00:18:18,950 --> 00:18:15,600 told themselves that they are ready for 500 00:18:21,029 --> 00:18:18,960 that level of detail probably aren't 501 00:18:22,710 --> 00:18:21,039 uh because it's very likely and that 502 00:18:24,710 --> 00:18:22,720 you've done a great job pointing this 503 00:18:26,310 --> 00:18:24,720 out on point of convergence it's very 504 00:18:29,190 --> 00:18:26,320 likely stranger 505 00:18:30,470 --> 00:18:29,200 and more diverse than than we can assume 506 00:18:32,789 --> 00:18:30,480 or imagine 507 00:18:33,990 --> 00:18:32,799 um and so i think that if i were to kind 508 00:18:35,750 --> 00:18:34,000 of put it 509 00:18:37,590 --> 00:18:35,760 on on that spectrum and put up some 510 00:18:38,950 --> 00:18:37,600 guardrails there that's sort of how i 511 00:18:40,710 --> 00:18:38,960 think about this 512 00:18:42,710 --> 00:18:40,720 uh i don't know if you if you think 513 00:18:45,190 --> 00:18:42,720 about that the same way and is there is 514 00:18:46,470 --> 00:18:45,200 there a kind of um 515 00:18:49,029 --> 00:18:46,480 necessity 516 00:18:51,990 --> 00:18:49,039 to building off of these things 517 00:18:54,630 --> 00:18:52,000 sequentially or or do you think there is 518 00:18:56,549 --> 00:18:54,640 a merit to kind of jumping headfirst 519 00:18:58,710 --> 00:18:56,559 into the deep end 520 00:18:59,590 --> 00:18:58,720 well i think a big part of the challenge 521 00:19:02,710 --> 00:18:59,600 is 522 00:19:03,990 --> 00:19:02,720 the second option presumes that there's 523 00:19:05,590 --> 00:19:04,000 consensus 524 00:19:07,110 --> 00:19:05,600 amongst the secret keepers about what 525 00:19:08,310 --> 00:19:07,120 those secrets are 526 00:19:13,510 --> 00:19:08,320 um 527 00:19:15,909 --> 00:19:13,520 what is most terrifying to any 528 00:19:17,750 --> 00:19:15,919 government any group in power 529 00:19:20,470 --> 00:19:17,760 is to have to acknowledge 530 00:19:22,710 --> 00:19:20,480 something that is more sophisticated 531 00:19:24,070 --> 00:19:22,720 um so much so that you you don't even 532 00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:24,080 understand how it's doing some of the 533 00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:25,440 things it's doing 534 00:19:28,870 --> 00:19:26,720 you don't even understand fully what 535 00:19:30,789 --> 00:19:28,880 those things are you sort of see as an 536 00:19:32,230 --> 00:19:30,799 after effect ways that our reality has 537 00:19:33,990 --> 00:19:32,240 changed 538 00:19:37,029 --> 00:19:34,000 but it's terrifying to you to have to 539 00:19:39,190 --> 00:19:37,039 admit that and have no solutions 540 00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:39,200 you know um 541 00:19:43,590 --> 00:19:41,440 it's sort of implicit in 542 00:19:45,029 --> 00:19:43,600 in the american constitution that our 543 00:19:47,990 --> 00:19:45,039 government is supposed to protect us 544 00:19:51,590 --> 00:19:48,000 from you know from all threats uh you 545 00:19:54,310 --> 00:19:51,600 know domestic and foreign um and 546 00:19:55,270 --> 00:19:54,320 this this is on a whole new level and 547 00:19:57,430 --> 00:19:55,280 um 548 00:19:59,830 --> 00:19:57,440 to a government uh you know what would 549 00:20:01,190 --> 00:19:59,840 be the point in 550 00:20:03,830 --> 00:20:01,200 admitting this 551 00:20:05,909 --> 00:20:03,840 and at the same time not having any 552 00:20:08,789 --> 00:20:05,919 uh ability to respond to it in a way 553 00:20:11,830 --> 00:20:08,799 that can control the outcome that's you 554 00:20:13,430 --> 00:20:11,840 know so there's getting back to the the 555 00:20:14,950 --> 00:20:13,440 responsibility piece you don't want to 556 00:20:16,470 --> 00:20:14,960 terrify people you don't want to you 557 00:20:19,590 --> 00:20:16,480 don't want to um 558 00:20:20,710 --> 00:20:19,600 terrorize your own populace by admitting 559 00:20:22,870 --> 00:20:20,720 something 560 00:20:26,230 --> 00:20:22,880 uh is in our midst that you have no 561 00:20:27,590 --> 00:20:26,240 control over you can't you know 562 00:20:30,310 --> 00:20:27,600 make them take their shoes off at the 563 00:20:31,909 --> 00:20:30,320 border and you know and search them it 564 00:20:33,510 --> 00:20:31,919 doesn't work that way they they can 565 00:20:35,029 --> 00:20:33,520 materialize in your room in the middle 566 00:20:36,470 --> 00:20:35,039 of the night right 567 00:20:38,789 --> 00:20:36,480 think about that for a second think 568 00:20:41,350 --> 00:20:38,799 about how we had to wrestle with in a 569 00:20:42,470 --> 00:20:41,360 post-9 11 world how do we secure our 570 00:20:44,549 --> 00:20:42,480 borders 571 00:20:46,390 --> 00:20:44,559 and then you then you go and you admit 572 00:20:48,870 --> 00:20:46,400 to the populist that there's these other 573 00:20:50,549 --> 00:20:48,880 beings that can materialize in your room 574 00:20:52,470 --> 00:20:50,559 in the middle of the night they can take 575 00:20:55,430 --> 00:20:52,480 you to other realms 576 00:20:58,710 --> 00:20:55,440 and the government has no ability to 577 00:21:01,590 --> 00:20:58,720 predict it to stop it to respond to it 578 00:21:03,510 --> 00:21:01,600 at all i mean to many people that would 579 00:21:06,789 --> 00:21:03,520 produce terror it would be a very step 580 00:21:08,549 --> 00:21:06,799 destabilizing uh truth to come out so 581 00:21:10,470 --> 00:21:08,559 i think it's a legitimate 582 00:21:12,310 --> 00:21:10,480 a legitimate concern 583 00:21:13,590 --> 00:21:12,320 that if you did know that 584 00:21:15,990 --> 00:21:13,600 but that you were in the process of 585 00:21:19,029 --> 00:21:16,000 hoping you could learn more so that you 586 00:21:20,950 --> 00:21:19,039 could come up with some sort of response 587 00:21:22,710 --> 00:21:20,960 that you would hold off on letting that 588 00:21:24,630 --> 00:21:22,720 information out because that information 589 00:21:26,870 --> 00:21:24,640 would be destabilizing it would be very 590 00:21:28,070 --> 00:21:26,880 concerning to people it certainly you 591 00:21:30,149 --> 00:21:28,080 know 592 00:21:31,909 --> 00:21:30,159 when you think about the small details 593 00:21:33,430 --> 00:21:31,919 that can crash the markets you know 594 00:21:34,870 --> 00:21:33,440 because it's driven by 595 00:21:35,830 --> 00:21:34,880 fear and greed right is the famous 596 00:21:37,669 --> 00:21:35,840 saying 597 00:21:40,149 --> 00:21:37,679 so imagine 598 00:21:42,390 --> 00:21:40,159 you know how the new york stock exchange 599 00:21:45,029 --> 00:21:42,400 opens on a monday following a weekend 600 00:21:47,350 --> 00:21:45,039 disclosure that you know 601 00:21:51,110 --> 00:21:47,360 non-humans sophisticated intelligences 602 00:21:52,950 --> 00:21:51,120 here and taking people and you know all 603 00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:52,960 all the pieces we know that are part of 604 00:21:55,990 --> 00:21:54,240 this narrative 605 00:21:58,149 --> 00:21:56,000 and imagine how that doesn't completely 606 00:21:59,750 --> 00:21:58,159 destabilize the economy and and 607 00:22:01,909 --> 00:21:59,760 everything else and so 608 00:22:04,870 --> 00:22:01,919 again it's it's a complex matter and you 609 00:22:07,110 --> 00:22:04,880 you for me anyway i can certainly 610 00:22:08,549 --> 00:22:07,120 on the one hand this the cynic in me 611 00:22:09,830 --> 00:22:08,559 says 612 00:22:11,590 --> 00:22:09,840 the government doesn't want to admit 613 00:22:14,230 --> 00:22:11,600 they have no control 614 00:22:17,190 --> 00:22:14,240 because they want to maintain control 615 00:22:18,789 --> 00:22:17,200 on the other hand like you said we do 616 00:22:21,190 --> 00:22:18,799 pass off to them 617 00:22:23,029 --> 00:22:21,200 that role so that we can have a stable 618 00:22:25,190 --> 00:22:23,039 economy and we can have the lives we 619 00:22:26,630 --> 00:22:25,200 want and we watch the super bowl on a 620 00:22:28,230 --> 00:22:26,640 sunday 621 00:22:31,909 --> 00:22:28,240 so what happens 622 00:22:34,789 --> 00:22:31,919 to our uh analysis of that when suddenly 623 00:22:37,430 --> 00:22:34,799 the truth the disclosure capital d 624 00:22:40,710 --> 00:22:37,440 means the completely unraveling of of 625 00:22:43,110 --> 00:22:40,720 society as we know it yeah and i would 626 00:22:44,549 --> 00:22:43,120 quite frankly be upset if they didn't 627 00:22:46,390 --> 00:22:44,559 take the time 628 00:22:48,870 --> 00:22:46,400 to uh 629 00:22:51,430 --> 00:22:48,880 to reflect on how best to 630 00:22:53,270 --> 00:22:51,440 reveal this information if they had the 631 00:22:55,669 --> 00:22:53,280 ability to do so 632 00:22:57,830 --> 00:22:55,679 you know so like it would be a a 633 00:23:00,470 --> 00:22:57,840 complete derelict election of their duty 634 00:23:02,470 --> 00:23:00,480 to their citizens into the world to just 635 00:23:04,789 --> 00:23:02,480 say oh hey uh we just learned this 636 00:23:06,789 --> 00:23:04,799 yesterday um 637 00:23:09,430 --> 00:23:06,799 we haven't really thought much about it 638 00:23:10,310 --> 00:23:09,440 you know here you go um i just don't 639 00:23:12,470 --> 00:23:10,320 think 640 00:23:14,950 --> 00:23:12,480 that that would do anyone any favors at 641 00:23:16,470 --> 00:23:14,960 all um it's the same thing i keep coming 642 00:23:18,070 --> 00:23:16,480 back to this parenting metaphor because 643 00:23:19,430 --> 00:23:18,080 i am a parent and i think it's just easy 644 00:23:21,270 --> 00:23:19,440 to relate to but 645 00:23:22,950 --> 00:23:21,280 you know any anything that impacts the 646 00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:22,960 family 647 00:23:26,789 --> 00:23:24,880 you know as a collective 648 00:23:29,190 --> 00:23:26,799 you know the parents generally are going 649 00:23:30,870 --> 00:23:29,200 to have a conversation about how to 650 00:23:32,070 --> 00:23:30,880 communicate 651 00:23:35,270 --> 00:23:32,080 that 652 00:23:37,669 --> 00:23:35,280 whatever it is to their children because 653 00:23:38,470 --> 00:23:37,679 the children don't have an awareness yet 654 00:23:41,750 --> 00:23:38,480 of 655 00:23:43,750 --> 00:23:41,760 they don't have the life experience it's 656 00:23:45,269 --> 00:23:43,760 not even a matter of breaking it down 657 00:23:48,470 --> 00:23:45,279 for them i can break it down all day 658 00:23:51,110 --> 00:23:48,480 long to my kids they have not lived 659 00:23:53,510 --> 00:23:51,120 enough to have any correlates 660 00:23:54,630 --> 00:23:53,520 by which to understand what i'm saying 661 00:23:55,669 --> 00:23:54,640 to them 662 00:23:57,510 --> 00:23:55,679 and so 663 00:23:59,430 --> 00:23:57,520 you know i would be i would be pretty 664 00:24:01,830 --> 00:23:59,440 upset with our government 665 00:24:04,870 --> 00:24:01,840 if they got information all of a sudden 666 00:24:07,269 --> 00:24:04,880 and didn't spend any amount of time 667 00:24:09,350 --> 00:24:07,279 in in in their scientific circles in 668 00:24:11,510 --> 00:24:09,360 their philosophical circles 669 00:24:14,149 --> 00:24:11,520 uh you know looking at this from a lot 670 00:24:17,590 --> 00:24:14,159 of different angles and saying okay 671 00:24:20,870 --> 00:24:17,600 we think this is the best way to explain 672 00:24:22,710 --> 00:24:20,880 what we have seen and discovered 673 00:24:24,070 --> 00:24:22,720 right and then to use your analogy 674 00:24:26,710 --> 00:24:24,080 imagine that 675 00:24:28,789 --> 00:24:26,720 the parental unit completely disagrees 676 00:24:30,390 --> 00:24:28,799 about what the nature of the issue is 677 00:24:31,350 --> 00:24:30,400 right because one thing when you have 678 00:24:32,630 --> 00:24:31,360 two parents who have the same 679 00:24:34,789 --> 00:24:32,640 perspective and then they have to think 680 00:24:36,950 --> 00:24:34,799 about how we're going to translate this 681 00:24:38,789 --> 00:24:36,960 and kids speak so that you know we don't 682 00:24:41,750 --> 00:24:38,799 tell our kids the literal truth we tell 683 00:24:43,190 --> 00:24:41,760 them enough that they can move forward 684 00:24:45,110 --> 00:24:43,200 based on where they're at and what they 685 00:24:47,990 --> 00:24:45,120 can understand like you said 686 00:24:49,669 --> 00:24:48,000 but there are some people again getting 687 00:24:52,549 --> 00:24:49,679 back to what we discussed last time with 688 00:24:54,070 --> 00:24:52,559 angels and demons and the collins elite 689 00:24:56,789 --> 00:24:54,080 there are some groups within the 690 00:24:58,710 --> 00:24:56,799 government that are convinced that this 691 00:25:00,870 --> 00:24:58,720 is demonic activity 692 00:25:04,149 --> 00:25:00,880 and that your only response to it should 693 00:25:07,029 --> 00:25:04,159 be to not talk about it to shut it down 694 00:25:09,190 --> 00:25:07,039 that by even talking about it uh you 695 00:25:11,590 --> 00:25:09,200 give it more power and that's the worst 696 00:25:13,029 --> 00:25:11,600 thing you can do so 697 00:25:14,310 --> 00:25:13,039 again matching 698 00:25:15,990 --> 00:25:14,320 that in a parental unit kind of 699 00:25:16,870 --> 00:25:16,000 situation where one parent is convinced 700 00:25:18,470 --> 00:25:16,880 that 701 00:25:20,470 --> 00:25:18,480 sure we have to translate it but we have 702 00:25:22,310 --> 00:25:20,480 to tell our kids something right and the 703 00:25:25,430 --> 00:25:22,320 other parent says no to even let them 704 00:25:27,909 --> 00:25:25,440 know this is more damaging than to not 705 00:25:29,510 --> 00:25:27,919 so that gives you a again that's just a 706 00:25:31,909 --> 00:25:29,520 small analogy missing all sorts of 707 00:25:33,669 --> 00:25:31,919 nuance but in that alone you realize how 708 00:25:35,510 --> 00:25:33,679 complex this becomes 709 00:25:38,070 --> 00:25:35,520 absolutely 710 00:25:39,909 --> 00:25:38,080 yeah it's uh you know i and and i 711 00:25:42,549 --> 00:25:39,919 resonate with every perspective on this 712 00:25:44,630 --> 00:25:42,559 i resonate with people that that i get 713 00:25:46,950 --> 00:25:44,640 really upset about this that uh oh we 714 00:25:49,430 --> 00:25:46,960 know the government knows something or 715 00:25:51,190 --> 00:25:49,440 knew something decades ago and uh they 716 00:25:53,269 --> 00:25:51,200 were about to say something about it and 717 00:25:54,789 --> 00:25:53,279 then they didn't and i'm just i'm fired 718 00:25:56,070 --> 00:25:54,799 up about this and i think we should hold 719 00:25:57,669 --> 00:25:56,080 them accountable we should put them on 720 00:25:59,909 --> 00:25:57,679 trial even 721 00:26:01,190 --> 00:25:59,919 and uh and get some justice for that and 722 00:26:03,590 --> 00:26:01,200 and i resonate from the other 723 00:26:05,350 --> 00:26:03,600 perspective that you know maybe they did 724 00:26:06,630 --> 00:26:05,360 do the right thing maybe if we had been 725 00:26:08,950 --> 00:26:06,640 in their shoes 726 00:26:11,190 --> 00:26:08,960 and we had seen what they'd seen uh 727 00:26:13,269 --> 00:26:11,200 whatever it is that we may have made 728 00:26:14,950 --> 00:26:13,279 pretty similar decisions 729 00:26:16,710 --> 00:26:14,960 you know it's all hindsight's always 20 730 00:26:18,870 --> 00:26:16,720 easy to kind of second guess 731 00:26:20,549 --> 00:26:18,880 things that have happened in the past 732 00:26:22,789 --> 00:26:20,559 but it could very well be 733 00:26:24,549 --> 00:26:22,799 that that the right choices were made 734 00:26:26,149 --> 00:26:24,559 all along 735 00:26:27,269 --> 00:26:26,159 i can tell you one thing for sure no 736 00:26:28,789 --> 00:26:27,279 matter what 737 00:26:30,549 --> 00:26:28,799 is revealed 738 00:26:33,110 --> 00:26:30,559 and disclosed because we've seen this 739 00:26:35,750 --> 00:26:33,120 already no matter what is shared there 740 00:26:37,669 --> 00:26:35,760 will be dispute about it 741 00:26:39,350 --> 00:26:37,679 there will be questions there will be 742 00:26:40,710 --> 00:26:39,360 the cynics and and those who are 743 00:26:42,390 --> 00:26:40,720 optimistic 744 00:26:44,870 --> 00:26:42,400 and and then we'll and we'll be fighting 745 00:26:46,789 --> 00:26:44,880 over it as well uh so i think that's 746 00:26:48,630 --> 00:26:46,799 inevitable 747 00:26:49,990 --> 00:26:48,640 totally true i mean 748 00:26:51,029 --> 00:26:50,000 and before we even get there you know 749 00:26:52,549 --> 00:26:51,039 it's just thinking about what you just 750 00:26:54,310 --> 00:26:52,559 said and 751 00:26:56,230 --> 00:26:54,320 i think it's a great point that we we 752 00:26:58,549 --> 00:26:56,240 have to remember 753 00:27:01,110 --> 00:26:58,559 when we think back over the you know 70 754 00:27:03,669 --> 00:27:01,120 to 80 years of lies right 755 00:27:06,230 --> 00:27:03,679 we have to frame that again based on 756 00:27:08,710 --> 00:27:06,240 what we do in the show a lot within the 757 00:27:09,909 --> 00:27:08,720 you know sociological geopolitical 758 00:27:12,149 --> 00:27:09,919 context 759 00:27:14,549 --> 00:27:12,159 of the 20th century so 760 00:27:16,310 --> 00:27:14,559 you know in the midst of the cold war 761 00:27:18,710 --> 00:27:16,320 right when you're you're fighting this 762 00:27:21,029 --> 00:27:18,720 this massive battle for the future of 763 00:27:22,950 --> 00:27:21,039 civilization is the way you see it right 764 00:27:25,190 --> 00:27:22,960 where both side is convinced the other 765 00:27:27,110 --> 00:27:25,200 is the the arch enemy and 766 00:27:28,950 --> 00:27:27,120 um you know everything bad you can 767 00:27:30,230 --> 00:27:28,960 imagine gets ascribed to them on both 768 00:27:33,510 --> 00:27:30,240 sides 769 00:27:35,830 --> 00:27:33,520 so supposedly the narrative is that 770 00:27:37,190 --> 00:27:35,840 craft and potentially 771 00:27:39,029 --> 00:27:37,200 occupants 772 00:27:40,230 --> 00:27:39,039 you know were discovered in the midst of 773 00:27:41,990 --> 00:27:40,240 this 774 00:27:43,990 --> 00:27:42,000 in the midst of a cold war right in the 775 00:27:46,070 --> 00:27:44,000 midst of this this epic battle of 776 00:27:47,510 --> 00:27:46,080 civilizations for the future 777 00:27:49,190 --> 00:27:47,520 you know economic structures 778 00:27:51,590 --> 00:27:49,200 socio-political structure of the entire 779 00:27:54,470 --> 00:27:51,600 world right both sides were trying to 780 00:27:56,310 --> 00:27:54,480 take over countries annex countries to 781 00:27:57,269 --> 00:27:56,320 create these huge pacts right around the 782 00:27:59,269 --> 00:27:57,279 world 783 00:28:01,909 --> 00:27:59,279 so you you can't 784 00:28:04,310 --> 00:28:01,919 separate disclosure from that context 785 00:28:06,230 --> 00:28:04,320 you know that was the context and if you 786 00:28:07,430 --> 00:28:06,240 really feel like 787 00:28:08,950 --> 00:28:07,440 regardless of whether or not they're 788 00:28:10,630 --> 00:28:08,960 right but if you're convinced that 789 00:28:12,789 --> 00:28:10,640 you're on the good side and you're 790 00:28:14,950 --> 00:28:12,799 trying to prevent this other 791 00:28:16,710 --> 00:28:14,960 you know geopolitical system from taking 792 00:28:18,149 --> 00:28:16,720 over and doing evil 793 00:28:20,549 --> 00:28:18,159 then you may 794 00:28:22,549 --> 00:28:20,559 say yes this is a huge revelation people 795 00:28:25,669 --> 00:28:22,559 would want to know about this but now is 796 00:28:29,190 --> 00:28:25,679 not the time we're fighting this war 797 00:28:31,029 --> 00:28:29,200 we just don't have the bandwidth to also 798 00:28:33,350 --> 00:28:31,039 analyze this and make sense of this so 799 00:28:36,230 --> 00:28:33,360 it gets put on the back burner so we've 800 00:28:39,590 --> 00:28:36,240 before talked about ironically the very 801 00:28:42,230 --> 00:28:39,600 advent of the atomic age may have been 802 00:28:44,870 --> 00:28:42,240 the you know 803 00:28:47,110 --> 00:28:44,880 created the inception point for this 804 00:28:49,350 --> 00:28:47,120 uh some of these intelligences to come 805 00:28:50,789 --> 00:28:49,360 into our midst to come into our realm to 806 00:28:52,070 --> 00:28:50,799 interact with us so it might have been 807 00:28:54,310 --> 00:28:52,080 in the midst of 808 00:28:55,750 --> 00:28:54,320 this cold war that caused some of the 809 00:28:57,269 --> 00:28:55,760 uptick in them being here and 810 00:28:58,870 --> 00:28:57,279 interacting with us 811 00:29:01,190 --> 00:28:58,880 but you know if you're one of those 812 00:29:03,350 --> 00:29:01,200 secret keepers you're you're also trying 813 00:29:06,549 --> 00:29:03,360 to in the midst of this win this cold 814 00:29:08,470 --> 00:29:06,559 war of massive proportions so 815 00:29:10,389 --> 00:29:08,480 we absolutely have to keep that in mind 816 00:29:12,789 --> 00:29:10,399 uh you know and i and i agree with you 817 00:29:14,470 --> 00:29:12,799 it's it's i think one thing we try to do 818 00:29:16,389 --> 00:29:14,480 on this show 819 00:29:18,149 --> 00:29:16,399 is again take that multi-perspectival 820 00:29:21,029 --> 00:29:18,159 view where we can we can see it from 821 00:29:23,110 --> 00:29:21,039 different points of view and and try to 822 00:29:24,710 --> 00:29:23,120 and we encourage people to do this to to 823 00:29:26,710 --> 00:29:24,720 try to see it from someone else's point 824 00:29:28,230 --> 00:29:26,720 of view and only when you really stand 825 00:29:30,149 --> 00:29:28,240 in their shoes can you maybe see how 826 00:29:32,149 --> 00:29:30,159 there's some validity to that 827 00:29:34,310 --> 00:29:32,159 um so 828 00:29:36,710 --> 00:29:34,320 i understand like you said that some 829 00:29:39,350 --> 00:29:36,720 people are frustrated that the the lies 830 00:29:41,269 --> 00:29:39,360 the changing stories about roswell we're 831 00:29:43,750 --> 00:29:41,279 ridiculous like just on the face of it 832 00:29:47,110 --> 00:29:43,760 just ridiculous no you know and the the 833 00:29:49,110 --> 00:29:47,120 weather balloon and swamp gas kind of 834 00:29:51,190 --> 00:29:49,120 venus you know all these 835 00:29:53,190 --> 00:29:51,200 sort of jokes we make now because we 836 00:29:54,630 --> 00:29:53,200 were we felt belittled that the 837 00:29:56,070 --> 00:29:54,640 government would say oh you know you're 838 00:29:58,070 --> 00:29:56,080 just mistaking 839 00:29:59,830 --> 00:29:58,080 this object that split into three and 840 00:30:02,149 --> 00:29:59,840 moved up and down and abducted you and 841 00:30:05,590 --> 00:30:02,159 put you back and that was just actually 842 00:30:07,269 --> 00:30:05,600 venus you know like something so static 843 00:30:09,269 --> 00:30:07,279 and to to 844 00:30:11,510 --> 00:30:09,279 you know mock people's intelligence that 845 00:30:13,110 --> 00:30:11,520 they wouldn't be able to distinguish 846 00:30:15,909 --> 00:30:13,120 the planet venus 847 00:30:17,909 --> 00:30:15,919 you know from this bizarre you know 848 00:30:19,350 --> 00:30:17,919 array of experience they they went 849 00:30:21,990 --> 00:30:19,360 through 850 00:30:23,990 --> 00:30:22,000 you know again that part i am totally 851 00:30:25,990 --> 00:30:24,000 sympathetic to that there were 852 00:30:26,789 --> 00:30:26,000 there are points along the trajectory 853 00:30:30,950 --> 00:30:26,799 where 854 00:30:34,230 --> 00:30:30,960 deliberate 855 00:30:36,230 --> 00:30:34,240 beyond just cover-up there was also 856 00:30:40,549 --> 00:30:36,240 deliberate programs put into place to 857 00:30:42,710 --> 00:30:40,559 stigmatize this topic to 858 00:30:45,029 --> 00:30:42,720 even do if not just financial or 859 00:30:46,310 --> 00:30:45,039 professional harm to people even maybe 860 00:30:48,630 --> 00:30:46,320 more than that you know we're talking 861 00:30:50,710 --> 00:30:48,640 about even lethal force potentially 862 00:30:52,470 --> 00:30:50,720 being used to keep this secret under 863 00:30:54,149 --> 00:30:52,480 wraps you know there's 864 00:30:56,549 --> 00:30:54,159 hard to pin down exactly what happened 865 00:30:58,230 --> 00:30:56,559 but certainly there was major stigma 866 00:30:59,269 --> 00:30:58,240 some people lost their lives because 867 00:31:01,750 --> 00:30:59,279 they were 868 00:31:04,149 --> 00:31:01,760 you know fed disinformation and it 869 00:31:07,350 --> 00:31:04,159 became too much for them 870 00:31:09,430 --> 00:31:07,360 a lot of um you know the the historical 871 00:31:11,990 --> 00:31:09,440 narrative is difficult to justify 872 00:31:13,750 --> 00:31:12,000 certainly um 873 00:31:16,389 --> 00:31:13,760 so we have to in some ways i think to 874 00:31:18,630 --> 00:31:16,399 make sense of this very big topic 875 00:31:20,630 --> 00:31:18,640 you know not try to not take it in one 876 00:31:23,669 --> 00:31:20,640 global you know 877 00:31:25,430 --> 00:31:23,679 spoonful uh the roswell stuff that is 878 00:31:28,070 --> 00:31:25,440 certainly frustrating that certainly was 879 00:31:29,830 --> 00:31:28,080 not justified uh it was ridiculous it 880 00:31:30,870 --> 00:31:29,840 was belittling to people 881 00:31:33,750 --> 00:31:30,880 um 882 00:31:35,350 --> 00:31:33,760 the it it created this sense in people's 883 00:31:38,149 --> 00:31:35,360 minds that the government is the enemy 884 00:31:41,350 --> 00:31:38,159 that the government are holding back 885 00:31:43,110 --> 00:31:41,360 information that every human being has a 886 00:31:43,990 --> 00:31:43,120 right to know they have no right to do 887 00:31:45,990 --> 00:31:44,000 this 888 00:31:47,269 --> 00:31:46,000 um i understand all of those those 889 00:31:50,310 --> 00:31:47,279 concerns 890 00:31:52,070 --> 00:31:50,320 um and then you know i think when we get 891 00:31:53,909 --> 00:31:52,080 into the later 20th century and into the 892 00:31:55,669 --> 00:31:53,919 21st century then it becomes a different 893 00:31:56,789 --> 00:31:55,679 matter so 894 00:31:57,909 --> 00:31:56,799 and like you said there's there's 895 00:31:59,750 --> 00:31:57,919 different 896 00:32:01,590 --> 00:31:59,760 responses some people want to you know 897 00:32:04,470 --> 00:32:01,600 see these people hang you know they just 898 00:32:06,549 --> 00:32:04,480 they have no uh you know patience for it 899 00:32:08,230 --> 00:32:06,559 no grace for it other people are more 900 00:32:10,070 --> 00:32:08,240 pragmatic and they say perhaps we should 901 00:32:12,389 --> 00:32:10,080 offer amnesty 902 00:32:14,149 --> 00:32:12,399 to the secret keepers saying you come 903 00:32:15,669 --> 00:32:14,159 out you tell us what you know and i 904 00:32:16,710 --> 00:32:15,679 could on a congressional level or 905 00:32:18,950 --> 00:32:16,720 whatever 906 00:32:21,190 --> 00:32:18,960 and then the public hears it after that 907 00:32:22,789 --> 00:32:21,200 we're willing to grant you amnesty that 908 00:32:25,029 --> 00:32:22,799 you won't be you know convicted of 909 00:32:25,990 --> 00:32:25,039 crimes for these secrets 910 00:32:27,750 --> 00:32:26,000 um 911 00:32:30,870 --> 00:32:27,760 and then people wrestle with is that 912 00:32:32,789 --> 00:32:30,880 worth it are we willing to let them off 913 00:32:36,230 --> 00:32:32,799 uh if it means we finally get the truth 914 00:32:37,509 --> 00:32:36,240 and that in itself is a complex question 915 00:32:39,269 --> 00:32:37,519 yes 916 00:32:42,789 --> 00:32:39,279 well what uh 917 00:32:44,789 --> 00:32:42,799 as we kind of switch over to speculating 918 00:32:47,269 --> 00:32:44,799 about what might be known 919 00:32:48,549 --> 00:32:47,279 you know there are 920 00:32:49,990 --> 00:32:48,559 you know in the literature there's a 921 00:32:50,710 --> 00:32:50,000 there's a sort of a spectrum of things 922 00:32:55,190 --> 00:32:50,720 that 923 00:32:57,110 --> 00:32:55,200 government may be aware of and why don't 924 00:32:58,789 --> 00:32:57,120 we start we have to start somewhere why 925 00:33:01,509 --> 00:32:58,799 don't we start here with the with this 926 00:33:04,310 --> 00:33:01,519 notion that that we may be in possession 927 00:33:06,389 --> 00:33:04,320 of material or craft 928 00:33:08,070 --> 00:33:06,399 uh you know do you 929 00:33:09,430 --> 00:33:08,080 kind of when you're when you're looking 930 00:33:12,630 --> 00:33:09,440 at things in the research that you've 931 00:33:15,269 --> 00:33:12,640 done have done do you feel like that 932 00:33:18,230 --> 00:33:15,279 that's pretty safe ground to land on 933 00:33:19,509 --> 00:33:18,240 for lack of a better phrase 934 00:33:21,269 --> 00:33:19,519 do you think that's what that we at 935 00:33:23,110 --> 00:33:21,279 least have something there 936 00:33:25,990 --> 00:33:23,120 in a laboratory or something yes 937 00:33:28,310 --> 00:33:26,000 absolutely i think that um 938 00:33:32,470 --> 00:33:28,320 there is plenty of evidence to suggest 939 00:33:34,470 --> 00:33:32,480 we have material that looks to be debris 940 00:33:36,630 --> 00:33:34,480 from craft and whatnot 941 00:33:38,789 --> 00:33:36,640 you have people like eric davis 942 00:33:41,029 --> 00:33:38,799 who you know know as much as anyone on 943 00:33:43,430 --> 00:33:41,039 this i talked about him on my most 944 00:33:45,909 --> 00:33:43,440 recent podcast on point of convergence 945 00:33:47,750 --> 00:33:45,919 um he's a straight shooter you know he 946 00:33:49,350 --> 00:33:47,760 doesn't make stuff up he's sometimes a 947 00:33:51,350 --> 00:33:49,360 controversial figure but he's always a 948 00:33:53,750 --> 00:33:51,360 straight shooter and he's made it clear 949 00:33:55,830 --> 00:33:53,760 that we we he's analyzed stuff that we 950 00:33:57,750 --> 00:33:55,840 couldn't we don't know how to make 951 00:34:00,710 --> 00:33:57,760 you know some of these materials 952 00:34:02,389 --> 00:34:00,720 are not necessarily initially obvious to 953 00:34:03,350 --> 00:34:02,399 us what they do 954 00:34:06,389 --> 00:34:03,360 um 955 00:34:08,149 --> 00:34:06,399 but they clearly look exotic they are in 956 00:34:10,230 --> 00:34:08,159 an amalgam of materials that we don't 957 00:34:12,310 --> 00:34:10,240 know how to put together in that way or 958 00:34:13,909 --> 00:34:12,320 if we did it would be extremely 959 00:34:15,190 --> 00:34:13,919 expensive you know like 960 00:34:16,790 --> 00:34:15,200 and on top of that there were times 961 00:34:17,669 --> 00:34:16,800 where we had no idea what it would even 962 00:34:20,230 --> 00:34:17,679 do 963 00:34:23,109 --> 00:34:20,240 once you did create it and yet very 964 00:34:25,190 --> 00:34:23,119 interestingly sometimes after decades 965 00:34:27,510 --> 00:34:25,200 we will finally have an aha moment and 966 00:34:28,869 --> 00:34:27,520 say aha you know you could levitate 967 00:34:30,550 --> 00:34:28,879 something if you 968 00:34:32,550 --> 00:34:30,560 you know project the right amount of 969 00:34:33,909 --> 00:34:32,560 energy at a certain terahertz frequency 970 00:34:36,310 --> 00:34:33,919 then that thing is going to float you 971 00:34:38,869 --> 00:34:36,320 know stuff like that and you go wow that 972 00:34:41,190 --> 00:34:38,879 that is fascinating um 973 00:34:43,909 --> 00:34:41,200 but yes to answer your original question 974 00:34:46,310 --> 00:34:43,919 i do think we very clearly have material 975 00:34:47,990 --> 00:34:46,320 that's probably from craft 976 00:34:49,430 --> 00:34:48,000 but i will say before i hand it back 977 00:34:51,349 --> 00:34:49,440 over to you that 978 00:34:53,430 --> 00:34:51,359 but what that ultimately means is a 979 00:34:57,190 --> 00:34:53,440 separate question i don't want to jump 980 00:34:59,109 --> 00:34:57,200 to that means their ets you know 981 00:35:00,390 --> 00:34:59,119 uh coming from a different galaxy and 982 00:35:01,750 --> 00:35:00,400 they've crashed their craft because they 983 00:35:03,190 --> 00:35:01,760 had a bad day like we talked about 984 00:35:07,990 --> 00:35:03,200 before 985 00:35:10,310 --> 00:35:08,000 question of are these deliberate crashes 986 00:35:12,950 --> 00:35:10,320 crashes in quotes meaning that they're 987 00:35:15,510 --> 00:35:12,960 there either to be gifts to help us 988 00:35:18,310 --> 00:35:15,520 discover new technology or some sort of 989 00:35:20,310 --> 00:35:18,320 coded message to say hey stop detonating 990 00:35:22,069 --> 00:35:20,320 atomic bombs 991 00:35:24,790 --> 00:35:22,079 you know what it means is a different 992 00:35:27,030 --> 00:35:24,800 question but have they recovered 993 00:35:29,670 --> 00:35:27,040 material that seems to be highly 994 00:35:31,910 --> 00:35:29,680 sophisticated and not something we could 995 00:35:33,750 --> 00:35:31,920 easily or at all create yes i believe 996 00:35:36,470 --> 00:35:33,760 that's true 997 00:35:38,390 --> 00:35:36,480 yeah i think we see other uh pieces of 998 00:35:39,190 --> 00:35:38,400 evidence that point in that direction as 999 00:35:41,589 --> 00:35:39,200 well 1000 00:35:43,670 --> 00:35:41,599 uh most recently i can think of 1001 00:35:44,550 --> 00:35:43,680 ross coulthard's excellent book in plain 1002 00:35:46,790 --> 00:35:44,560 sight 1003 00:35:49,589 --> 00:35:46,800 uh where he talks about his 1004 00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:49,599 conversations with nat kobits uh 1005 00:35:53,670 --> 00:35:52,160 and nat mentioning that you know that we 1006 00:35:55,510 --> 00:35:53,680 did have something that we were trying 1007 00:35:56,630 --> 00:35:55,520 to reverse engineer 1008 00:35:58,230 --> 00:35:56,640 uh 1009 00:35:59,990 --> 00:35:58,240 you know pretty strongly hinting that 1010 00:36:03,349 --> 00:36:00,000 that we were in possession of some sort 1011 00:36:04,950 --> 00:36:03,359 of material or craft or part of a craft 1012 00:36:06,870 --> 00:36:04,960 uh secret it away 1013 00:36:09,109 --> 00:36:06,880 uh potentially in a in a private 1014 00:36:10,870 --> 00:36:09,119 industry for example 1015 00:36:12,310 --> 00:36:10,880 so that that's a good recent example and 1016 00:36:13,990 --> 00:36:12,320 then i can think too we've already 1017 00:36:15,510 --> 00:36:14,000 talked about roswell so that's a you 1018 00:36:16,310 --> 00:36:15,520 know iconic 1019 00:36:19,109 --> 00:36:16,320 uh 1020 00:36:21,109 --> 00:36:19,119 you know story of course but um and i'll 1021 00:36:22,950 --> 00:36:21,119 go i'll go it's controversial but i'll 1022 00:36:25,990 --> 00:36:22,960 go with another controversial one which 1023 00:36:28,150 --> 00:36:26,000 is bob lazar uh you know a very heated 1024 00:36:30,470 --> 00:36:28,160 uh you know kind of topic there lots of 1025 00:36:32,470 --> 00:36:30,480 different opinions on that uh i'm not 1026 00:36:35,829 --> 00:36:32,480 here to say one way or the other but 1027 00:36:38,230 --> 00:36:35,839 certainly that uh story uh 1028 00:36:41,190 --> 00:36:38,240 you know has fanned the flames that we 1029 00:36:43,750 --> 00:36:41,200 are in possession of something um 1030 00:36:46,550 --> 00:36:43,760 and then there are other uh uh 1031 00:36:49,990 --> 00:36:46,560 anecdotes of crashes uh uh recently 1032 00:36:52,950 --> 00:36:50,000 jacques vallee uh in in his book uh with 1033 00:36:53,829 --> 00:36:52,960 uh paula harris on trinity uh the crash 1034 00:36:56,069 --> 00:36:53,839 there 1035 00:36:57,030 --> 00:36:56,079 so and then i can think of the aztec 1036 00:36:59,990 --> 00:36:57,040 crash 1037 00:37:02,550 --> 00:37:00,000 uh in essex mexico i think it was uh so 1038 00:37:04,470 --> 00:37:02,560 very well known case so there are a lot 1039 00:37:06,150 --> 00:37:04,480 of uh sort of 1040 00:37:07,510 --> 00:37:06,160 interesting things that we can look at 1041 00:37:09,750 --> 00:37:07,520 in the literature that seemed to 1042 00:37:11,990 --> 00:37:09,760 strongly hint that there is there is a 1043 00:37:14,150 --> 00:37:12,000 there there and then i would also point 1044 00:37:16,870 --> 00:37:14,160 to uh the passage of the 1045 00:37:20,630 --> 00:37:16,880 uh of the gillibrand amendment uh from 1046 00:37:22,470 --> 00:37:20,640 the ndaa and the explicit mention of 1047 00:37:23,670 --> 00:37:22,480 you know retrieving 1048 00:37:25,589 --> 00:37:23,680 teams 1049 00:37:27,910 --> 00:37:25,599 specifically set up to go and retrieve 1050 00:37:30,310 --> 00:37:27,920 something now we can we can talk about 1051 00:37:32,630 --> 00:37:30,320 that in the uh prosaic 1052 00:37:35,430 --> 00:37:32,640 you know sort of auspices of retrieving 1053 00:37:37,589 --> 00:37:35,440 a downed uh drone of some kind and 1054 00:37:38,950 --> 00:37:37,599 getting our hands on that technology and 1055 00:37:41,670 --> 00:37:38,960 understanding it 1056 00:37:44,950 --> 00:37:41,680 maybe it's from one of our adversaries 1057 00:37:46,710 --> 00:37:44,960 but it could also hint at something else 1058 00:37:47,750 --> 00:37:46,720 and that's of course a lot of conjecture 1059 00:37:49,109 --> 00:37:47,760 so we're going to have to kind of wait 1060 00:37:51,670 --> 00:37:49,119 and see 1061 00:37:54,230 --> 00:37:51,680 as this story continues to unfold 1062 00:37:55,829 --> 00:37:54,240 what really may be at play there but if 1063 00:37:58,069 --> 00:37:55,839 you kind of add all these things 1064 00:38:00,710 --> 00:37:58,079 together uh along with many different 1065 00:38:02,230 --> 00:38:00,720 accounts over the over the decades i 1066 00:38:04,069 --> 00:38:02,240 would say there's a there's some pretty 1067 00:38:05,910 --> 00:38:04,079 good evidence here to say that there is 1068 00:38:08,150 --> 00:38:05,920 some that we have we are in possession 1069 00:38:09,829 --> 00:38:08,160 of something uh and that the narrative 1070 00:38:11,349 --> 00:38:09,839 we always hear is that we got it and we 1071 00:38:13,349 --> 00:38:11,359 don't know what to do with it we kind of 1072 00:38:14,870 --> 00:38:13,359 like play around with it for a while 1073 00:38:16,310 --> 00:38:14,880 throw some science at it and throw our 1074 00:38:18,870 --> 00:38:16,320 hands up in the air and come back a 1075 00:38:20,390 --> 00:38:18,880 decade later and try again 1076 00:38:21,589 --> 00:38:20,400 yeah i mean 1077 00:38:25,109 --> 00:38:21,599 it's interesting when you think about 1078 00:38:27,109 --> 00:38:25,119 the glibrand amendment and you know you 1079 00:38:28,069 --> 00:38:27,119 it's amazing how different people will 1080 00:38:29,430 --> 00:38:28,079 look at that and come away with 1081 00:38:30,790 --> 00:38:29,440 different conclusions about what it 1082 00:38:32,470 --> 00:38:30,800 means right 1083 00:38:34,150 --> 00:38:32,480 but you could easily argue why would you 1084 00:38:37,510 --> 00:38:34,160 even have that 1085 00:38:39,750 --> 00:38:37,520 that aspect about crash retrieval teams 1086 00:38:41,910 --> 00:38:39,760 if there was no there there right if we 1087 00:38:43,910 --> 00:38:41,920 were still at the level of 1088 00:38:45,270 --> 00:38:43,920 you know total conjecture about even if 1089 00:38:47,510 --> 00:38:45,280 anything's happening if it's just 1090 00:38:48,870 --> 00:38:47,520 atmospheric phenomena or whatever 1091 00:38:51,910 --> 00:38:48,880 why would you 1092 00:38:54,310 --> 00:38:51,920 actually you know go so far as to plan 1093 00:38:56,310 --> 00:38:54,320 that kind of detail right 1094 00:38:58,790 --> 00:38:56,320 and yeah some people who are 1095 00:39:00,630 --> 00:38:58,800 skeptics will just go like you said uh 1096 00:39:01,990 --> 00:39:00,640 it's just recovering drone technology 1097 00:39:03,270 --> 00:39:02,000 right that's become the sort of the 1098 00:39:04,950 --> 00:39:03,280 catch-all 1099 00:39:06,550 --> 00:39:04,960 it was weather balloons in the 40s and 1100 00:39:07,829 --> 00:39:06,560 now it's drones right it's it's this 1101 00:39:11,270 --> 00:39:07,839 sort of like 1102 00:39:13,829 --> 00:39:11,280 excuse point we we introduce um 1103 00:39:16,150 --> 00:39:13,839 and yeah the bob lazar point uh you went 1104 00:39:18,710 --> 00:39:16,160 there so i'll go there too 1105 00:39:20,950 --> 00:39:18,720 it is controversial uh you get people 1106 00:39:23,589 --> 00:39:20,960 who have really strong opinions on on 1107 00:39:24,630 --> 00:39:23,599 both sides and everything in between 1108 00:39:26,790 --> 00:39:24,640 um 1109 00:39:29,829 --> 00:39:26,800 i think what i noticed was some people 1110 00:39:31,829 --> 00:39:29,839 in general is that they they tend to 1111 00:39:32,790 --> 00:39:31,839 have black or white views so they they 1112 00:39:34,310 --> 00:39:32,800 say 1113 00:39:36,390 --> 00:39:34,320 look there's clearly some things about 1114 00:39:38,790 --> 00:39:36,400 bob lazar that don't add up therefore i 1115 00:39:40,470 --> 00:39:38,800 reject his testimony all together 1116 00:39:43,670 --> 00:39:40,480 and i don't think we can do that i don't 1117 00:39:45,910 --> 00:39:43,680 think that any of us have a completely 1118 00:39:47,510 --> 00:39:45,920 non-checkered past and 1119 00:39:49,829 --> 00:39:47,520 we wouldn't want to be judged by 1120 00:39:51,990 --> 00:39:49,839 everything we've ever said or done 1121 00:39:55,270 --> 00:39:52,000 and um 1122 00:39:57,750 --> 00:39:55,280 i i for one tend to think a lot of the 1123 00:39:58,630 --> 00:39:57,760 meat of what he said has some validity 1124 00:40:00,950 --> 00:39:58,640 to it 1125 00:40:03,109 --> 00:40:00,960 and it also makes complete sense to me 1126 00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:03,119 that like you mentioned 1127 00:40:06,710 --> 00:40:04,560 we can bring in all the highly 1128 00:40:08,550 --> 00:40:06,720 credentialed credentialed scientists at 1129 00:40:10,470 --> 00:40:08,560 first but if you do that for a decade 1130 00:40:12,630 --> 00:40:10,480 and you haven't got anywhere 1131 00:40:16,150 --> 00:40:12,640 and you get some guy who like you know 1132 00:40:18,309 --> 00:40:16,160 created rocket engines in his spare time 1133 00:40:20,630 --> 00:40:18,319 you might give him a shot because 1134 00:40:21,910 --> 00:40:20,640 what you have to lose right and 1135 00:40:23,670 --> 00:40:21,920 so 1136 00:40:26,069 --> 00:40:23,680 it makes sense to me that when they 1137 00:40:27,670 --> 00:40:26,079 would try and crack this 1138 00:40:29,030 --> 00:40:27,680 for years and years and not really get 1139 00:40:31,030 --> 00:40:29,040 anywhere 1140 00:40:32,710 --> 00:40:31,040 that they would try to think outside the 1141 00:40:35,589 --> 00:40:32,720 box and bring in some other people like 1142 00:40:36,950 --> 00:40:35,599 a bob lazar to make sense of it 1143 00:40:38,630 --> 00:40:36,960 that part of course is hugely 1144 00:40:39,829 --> 00:40:38,640 fascinating because that doesn't just 1145 00:40:46,150 --> 00:40:39,839 mean 1146 00:40:48,230 --> 00:40:46,160 have either recovered craft that are 1147 00:40:50,790 --> 00:40:48,240 still mostly operational 1148 00:40:54,069 --> 00:40:50,800 or we've known at least enough to try to 1149 00:40:54,950 --> 00:40:54,079 recreate these vehicles you know 1150 00:40:55,750 --> 00:40:54,960 fully 1151 00:40:57,910 --> 00:40:55,760 um 1152 00:40:59,270 --> 00:40:57,920 and you know i think bob lazar's 1153 00:41:00,790 --> 00:40:59,280 testimony was that there was there's 1154 00:41:03,430 --> 00:41:00,800 several different models right that they 1155 00:41:05,109 --> 00:41:03,440 sort of had that he that he viewed 1156 00:41:08,309 --> 00:41:05,119 um 1157 00:41:09,910 --> 00:41:08,319 yeah it's it's it's uh tricky to figure 1158 00:41:11,750 --> 00:41:09,920 out what's exactly going on but i think 1159 00:41:14,790 --> 00:41:11,760 there is a there there regardless of 1160 00:41:16,550 --> 00:41:14,800 exactly what the specifics are um i 1161 00:41:18,470 --> 00:41:16,560 think that 1162 00:41:20,150 --> 00:41:18,480 even when you look at stealth technology 1163 00:41:21,670 --> 00:41:20,160 some people will look at it and say ah 1164 00:41:23,349 --> 00:41:21,680 there's nothing really special there 1165 00:41:24,870 --> 00:41:23,359 that's something we would have 1166 00:41:26,069 --> 00:41:24,880 you know prosaically come across 1167 00:41:28,710 --> 00:41:26,079 eventually other people who are 1168 00:41:30,710 --> 00:41:28,720 convinced that the stealth technology 1169 00:41:32,309 --> 00:41:30,720 came directly out of discoveries we made 1170 00:41:34,309 --> 00:41:32,319 from retrieved vehicles and retrieved 1171 00:41:35,829 --> 00:41:34,319 materials 1172 00:41:37,270 --> 00:41:35,839 i've heard arguments on both sides of 1173 00:41:39,910 --> 00:41:37,280 the equation 1174 00:41:43,510 --> 00:41:39,920 but i am pretty convinced that we we not 1175 00:41:45,030 --> 00:41:43,520 only have debris but we probably have 1176 00:41:47,109 --> 00:41:45,040 perhaps even 1177 00:41:48,790 --> 00:41:47,119 mostly intact craft or enough that we 1178 00:41:51,349 --> 00:41:48,800 could actually try to figure out how the 1179 00:41:52,870 --> 00:41:51,359 technology works 1180 00:41:55,030 --> 00:41:52,880 well and then that then gets me to the 1181 00:41:57,109 --> 00:41:55,040 next item so what do we think about and 1182 00:41:59,349 --> 00:41:57,119 you hinted at earlier about the notion 1183 00:42:01,270 --> 00:41:59,359 of occupants 1184 00:42:02,390 --> 00:42:01,280 in these craft 1185 00:42:03,190 --> 00:42:02,400 there's been 1186 00:42:06,790 --> 00:42:03,200 some 1187 00:42:08,630 --> 00:42:06,800 mention of this i can think of um 1188 00:42:10,870 --> 00:42:08,640 the interview i believe it was with kurt 1189 00:42:13,190 --> 00:42:10,880 jaimongall and luella's hondo where 1190 00:42:16,309 --> 00:42:13,200 elizondo hinted at uh you know kind of 1191 00:42:18,150 --> 00:42:16,319 biological material 1192 00:42:19,829 --> 00:42:18,160 in a very vague 1193 00:42:21,109 --> 00:42:19,839 broad term there 1194 00:42:23,430 --> 00:42:21,119 could mean a whole lot of different 1195 00:42:26,069 --> 00:42:23,440 things 1196 00:42:27,990 --> 00:42:26,079 but there are other many other stories 1197 00:42:29,349 --> 00:42:28,000 you know roswell great another great 1198 00:42:31,190 --> 00:42:29,359 example that 1199 00:42:33,109 --> 00:42:31,200 uh i forget that there were you know a 1200 00:42:34,950 --> 00:42:33,119 couple of the two or three bodies and 1201 00:42:37,750 --> 00:42:34,960 maybe one that was still alive and i've 1202 00:42:39,510 --> 00:42:37,760 heard that that story uh secreted away 1203 00:42:41,270 --> 00:42:39,520 to wright patterson or something you 1204 00:42:44,390 --> 00:42:41,280 know so there's there's a lot of talk 1205 00:42:47,510 --> 00:42:44,400 about this uh you know about some kind 1206 00:42:50,790 --> 00:42:47,520 of uh humanoid uh entities 1207 00:42:52,470 --> 00:42:50,800 uh you know i wonder to what degree 1208 00:42:54,069 --> 00:42:52,480 you know you think that holds the same 1209 00:42:57,270 --> 00:42:54,079 amount of uh 1210 00:42:59,030 --> 00:42:57,280 of of water as as the craft uh 1211 00:43:01,589 --> 00:42:59,040 item 1212 00:43:05,510 --> 00:43:01,599 yeah that one is feels uh a bit more 1213 00:43:07,589 --> 00:43:05,520 speculative um i'm less sure of that but 1214 00:43:08,790 --> 00:43:07,599 i think there's 1215 00:43:10,309 --> 00:43:08,800 there's enough smoke that there's 1216 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:10,319 probably fire there 1217 00:43:13,670 --> 00:43:12,170 at some point um 1218 00:43:17,190 --> 00:43:13,680 [Music] 1219 00:43:19,589 --> 00:43:17,200 again whether or not those were uh 1220 00:43:20,950 --> 00:43:19,599 you know a kind of advanced ai you know 1221 00:43:22,550 --> 00:43:20,960 there's even been 1222 00:43:24,230 --> 00:43:22,560 discussions i think even in the trinity 1223 00:43:26,309 --> 00:43:24,240 book that you mentioned 1224 00:43:28,550 --> 00:43:26,319 with harrison valet where you know 1225 00:43:30,870 --> 00:43:28,560 there's a discussion of 1226 00:43:33,829 --> 00:43:30,880 or at least it's been postulated before 1227 00:43:35,589 --> 00:43:33,839 that if these are actually 1228 00:43:37,589 --> 00:43:35,599 either gifts 1229 00:43:39,349 --> 00:43:37,599 meaning you know deliberate crashes to 1230 00:43:40,710 --> 00:43:39,359 try to advance our technology which you 1231 00:43:42,390 --> 00:43:40,720 could even argue that's us from the 1232 00:43:45,829 --> 00:43:42,400 future doing that and try to change the 1233 00:43:47,589 --> 00:43:45,839 timeline in a way that wouldn't 1234 00:43:50,470 --> 00:43:47,599 outright reveal that it's technology 1235 00:43:52,150 --> 00:43:50,480 from your own future 1236 00:43:54,470 --> 00:43:52,160 but you know the the argument has been 1237 00:43:56,069 --> 00:43:54,480 made that maybe they just used 1238 00:43:58,230 --> 00:43:56,079 sophisticated 1239 00:43:59,190 --> 00:43:58,240 semi-organic a.i 1240 00:44:01,030 --> 00:43:59,200 um 1241 00:44:03,829 --> 00:44:01,040 because they wouldn't want to be so 1242 00:44:05,030 --> 00:44:03,839 cruel as to go and you know 1243 00:44:07,670 --> 00:44:05,040 uh 1244 00:44:09,829 --> 00:44:07,680 kamikaze the these these guys into the 1245 00:44:11,670 --> 00:44:09,839 into the desert and kill them but rather 1246 00:44:13,510 --> 00:44:11,680 we want to again if the if it's about 1247 00:44:14,790 --> 00:44:13,520 creating a narrative that this is a 1248 00:44:15,750 --> 00:44:14,800 spaceship 1249 00:44:17,750 --> 00:44:15,760 with 1250 00:44:20,230 --> 00:44:17,760 aliens who flew across 1251 00:44:21,349 --> 00:44:20,240 the vast stretches of space to get here 1252 00:44:23,030 --> 00:44:21,359 then you may 1253 00:44:24,630 --> 00:44:23,040 you know 1254 00:44:25,589 --> 00:44:24,640 bring bodies into it as well right so 1255 00:44:27,670 --> 00:44:25,599 again 1256 00:44:28,630 --> 00:44:27,680 there's the details 1257 00:44:30,309 --> 00:44:28,640 and there's then there's the 1258 00:44:31,109 --> 00:44:30,319 interpretation of the details right so 1259 00:44:34,870 --> 00:44:31,119 again 1260 00:44:36,710 --> 00:44:34,880 what i found fascinating when i 1261 00:44:38,710 --> 00:44:36,720 researched that was that 1262 00:44:41,990 --> 00:44:38,720 even though they never actually got 1263 00:44:43,430 --> 00:44:42,000 from my understanding firsthand uh 1264 00:44:45,270 --> 00:44:43,440 they never got their hands on the 1265 00:44:47,589 --> 00:44:45,280 material itself or they never you know 1266 00:44:49,670 --> 00:44:47,599 saw the bodies whatever they still came 1267 00:44:52,150 --> 00:44:49,680 to some very strong conclusions about 1268 00:44:54,309 --> 00:44:52,160 what roswell was and they were convinced 1269 00:44:56,230 --> 00:44:54,319 yes material was recovered 1270 00:44:57,589 --> 00:44:56,240 but it was the product of demonic 1271 00:44:58,630 --> 00:44:57,599 alchemy right 1272 00:45:01,430 --> 00:44:58,640 that 1273 00:45:04,470 --> 00:45:01,440 satan and his minions can actually 1274 00:45:05,750 --> 00:45:04,480 manifest 3d objects that we can pick up 1275 00:45:07,750 --> 00:45:05,760 and hold and go wow this was like 1276 00:45:09,190 --> 00:45:07,760 technology 1277 00:45:11,430 --> 00:45:09,200 and on top of that they actually 1278 00:45:13,990 --> 00:45:11,440 believed that they were there were 1279 00:45:15,910 --> 00:45:14,000 biological entities what looked like 1280 00:45:17,990 --> 00:45:15,920 biological entities that were recovered 1281 00:45:19,109 --> 00:45:18,000 but they also believe that that too was 1282 00:45:22,150 --> 00:45:19,119 a kind of 1283 00:45:24,390 --> 00:45:22,160 frankenstein kind of alchemy that these 1284 00:45:26,550 --> 00:45:24,400 things that look like biological bodies 1285 00:45:28,710 --> 00:45:26,560 were all part of the ruse 1286 00:45:32,630 --> 00:45:28,720 to make you believe that narrative about 1287 00:45:34,150 --> 00:45:32,640 the eth um so again 1288 00:45:36,309 --> 00:45:34,160 you know and like you said elizondo has 1289 00:45:38,630 --> 00:45:36,319 talked about this but he's also been 1290 00:45:41,270 --> 00:45:38,640 very hesitant to 1291 00:45:42,870 --> 00:45:41,280 put forward the eth he he brings in he's 1292 00:45:45,510 --> 00:45:42,880 very quick to say 1293 00:45:47,990 --> 00:45:45,520 maybe there's you know humanities you 1294 00:45:51,190 --> 00:45:48,000 know like maybe it's more than just one 1295 00:45:52,950 --> 00:45:51,200 or maybe there's other species that have 1296 00:45:54,390 --> 00:45:52,960 you know been alongside us all along we 1297 00:45:55,349 --> 00:45:54,400 just haven't perceived them for whatever 1298 00:45:59,670 --> 00:45:55,359 reason 1299 00:46:01,589 --> 00:45:59,680 um so he seems very very eager to to 1300 00:46:05,030 --> 00:46:01,599 to postulate those notions to sort of 1301 00:46:08,230 --> 00:46:05,040 get that circulating in the ufology um 1302 00:46:09,750 --> 00:46:08,240 so yes i think that 1303 00:46:12,150 --> 00:46:09,760 this was a very long answer to a 1304 00:46:14,470 --> 00:46:12,160 question um but yes i think there's been 1305 00:46:16,390 --> 00:46:14,480 biological material recovered then the 1306 00:46:18,950 --> 00:46:16,400 question becomes what does that material 1307 00:46:20,150 --> 00:46:18,960 actually represent 1308 00:46:22,790 --> 00:46:20,160 yeah it's definitely the one that i 1309 00:46:25,910 --> 00:46:22,800 think i mean all of these to me get you 1310 00:46:28,550 --> 00:46:25,920 very you know get me very curious but 1311 00:46:31,910 --> 00:46:28,560 you know certainly a lot of questions uh 1312 00:46:35,190 --> 00:46:31,920 follow from this idea that we may have 1313 00:46:38,150 --> 00:46:35,200 uh entities uh you know either 1314 00:46:39,430 --> 00:46:38,160 alive or or dead uh that we can interact 1315 00:46:41,990 --> 00:46:39,440 with or study 1316 00:46:44,069 --> 00:46:42,000 uh and what those uh sort of what that 1317 00:46:46,790 --> 00:46:44,079 revelation may mean for us 1318 00:46:49,829 --> 00:46:48,150 i wonder too 1319 00:46:51,670 --> 00:46:49,839 you know there's so many there's so many 1320 00:46:53,750 --> 00:46:51,680 topics we can we can touch on but 1321 00:46:55,990 --> 00:46:53,760 another one that kind of came to mind as 1322 00:46:58,150 --> 00:46:56,000 far as like what 1323 00:47:01,190 --> 00:46:58,160 the government may know we know that 1324 00:47:03,910 --> 00:47:01,200 they have there has been research done 1325 00:47:06,230 --> 00:47:03,920 uh with uh the stanford 1326 00:47:07,349 --> 00:47:06,240 uh research institute work that hal put 1327 00:47:10,230 --> 00:47:07,359 off has done 1328 00:47:11,430 --> 00:47:10,240 into psy abilities you know remote 1329 00:47:12,230 --> 00:47:11,440 viewing 1330 00:47:17,430 --> 00:47:12,240 uh 1331 00:47:19,270 --> 00:47:17,440 geller and and ingo swan and a bunch of 1332 00:47:22,549 --> 00:47:19,280 others uh 1333 00:47:23,750 --> 00:47:22,559 joe mcmonagle you know into this 1334 00:47:26,150 --> 00:47:23,760 notion that 1335 00:47:27,109 --> 00:47:26,160 human beings themselves 1336 00:47:29,109 --> 00:47:27,119 have this 1337 00:47:31,430 --> 00:47:29,119 capability of 1338 00:47:32,549 --> 00:47:31,440 you know telekinesis or telepathy all of 1339 00:47:35,829 --> 00:47:32,559 the above 1340 00:47:39,109 --> 00:47:35,839 and and many have speculated that that 1341 00:47:41,109 --> 00:47:39,119 that line of research inquiry is is in 1342 00:47:42,150 --> 00:47:41,119 and of itself related to this entire 1343 00:47:43,829 --> 00:47:42,160 topic 1344 00:47:46,309 --> 00:47:43,839 and uh and we've touched on this a 1345 00:47:47,829 --> 00:47:46,319 little bit before but you know how do 1346 00:47:50,950 --> 00:47:47,839 you see 1347 00:47:54,870 --> 00:47:50,960 that component as it ties into this 1348 00:48:00,150 --> 00:47:56,950 yeah i mean it definitely 1349 00:48:02,870 --> 00:48:00,160 is part of it um 1350 00:48:05,190 --> 00:48:02,880 you know as i've i've mentioned recently 1351 00:48:06,950 --> 00:48:05,200 i'm currently working on a book that 1352 00:48:08,309 --> 00:48:06,960 is going to try to tie all this together 1353 00:48:09,990 --> 00:48:08,319 to try to 1354 00:48:12,630 --> 00:48:10,000 conceive of a 1355 00:48:14,309 --> 00:48:12,640 metaphysical conception of reality that 1356 00:48:15,270 --> 00:48:14,319 would give birth to all of these 1357 00:48:17,670 --> 00:48:15,280 different 1358 00:48:18,710 --> 00:48:17,680 phenomena we've we've observed including 1359 00:48:20,950 --> 00:48:18,720 psy 1360 00:48:23,109 --> 00:48:20,960 phenomena amongst human beings not to 1361 00:48:23,990 --> 00:48:23,119 mention from these others 1362 00:48:25,750 --> 00:48:24,000 it's 1363 00:48:26,549 --> 00:48:25,760 for sure connected 1364 00:48:28,630 --> 00:48:26,559 um 1365 00:48:29,910 --> 00:48:28,640 my personal contention is still that 1366 00:48:31,430 --> 00:48:29,920 there's different 1367 00:48:32,790 --> 00:48:31,440 sources different groups different 1368 00:48:34,710 --> 00:48:32,800 agendas here 1369 00:48:36,630 --> 00:48:34,720 um i think that's part of the the huge 1370 00:48:38,069 --> 00:48:36,640 complexity of disclosure is that it's 1371 00:48:40,549 --> 00:48:38,079 not 1372 00:48:42,549 --> 00:48:40,559 one aha moment it's that the 1373 00:48:44,790 --> 00:48:42,559 it's it's a 1374 00:48:46,549 --> 00:48:44,800 there's numerous uh bullet points 1375 00:48:49,670 --> 00:48:46,559 on the disclosure 1376 00:48:51,750 --> 00:48:49,680 list so um 1377 00:48:54,150 --> 00:48:51,760 i i need to be careful here to constrain 1378 00:48:55,349 --> 00:48:54,160 what i what i want to say but 1379 00:48:57,349 --> 00:48:55,359 um 1380 00:48:59,589 --> 00:48:57,359 yes i think that 1381 00:49:01,670 --> 00:48:59,599 again to cynics they will dismiss that 1382 00:49:03,829 --> 00:49:01,680 right away and say 1383 00:49:05,510 --> 00:49:03,839 come on psy really that's that's going 1384 00:49:07,589 --> 00:49:05,520 to be your argument that shows you how 1385 00:49:09,349 --> 00:49:07,599 weak your data is 1386 00:49:11,910 --> 00:49:09,359 and yet 1387 00:49:13,910 --> 00:49:11,920 i've seen 1388 00:49:15,430 --> 00:49:13,920 over 100 years of parapsychological 1389 00:49:17,670 --> 00:49:15,440 research that makes it very very clear 1390 00:49:20,150 --> 00:49:17,680 that psy is real it's it's not a 1391 00:49:21,589 --> 00:49:20,160 question anymore and to to the fact that 1392 00:49:23,750 --> 00:49:21,599 we even have to 1393 00:49:25,510 --> 00:49:23,760 have that debate still 1394 00:49:27,030 --> 00:49:25,520 shows me just how much prejudice there 1395 00:49:29,109 --> 00:49:27,040 is and how much inertia there is behind 1396 00:49:30,630 --> 00:49:29,119 the the physicalist paradigm that 1397 00:49:32,230 --> 00:49:30,640 doesn't know what to do with that so it 1398 00:49:34,950 --> 00:49:32,240 just wants to not talk about it and it's 1399 00:49:37,510 --> 00:49:34,960 amazing to me how successful 1400 00:49:39,589 --> 00:49:37,520 that establishment has been in 1401 00:49:42,150 --> 00:49:39,599 um 1402 00:49:44,390 --> 00:49:42,160 in keeping to the margins any kind of 1403 00:49:48,069 --> 00:49:44,400 parapsychological research that has 1404 00:49:49,670 --> 00:49:48,079 arisen much like the phenomenon research 1405 00:49:52,309 --> 00:49:49,680 but yes like you touched on there have 1406 00:49:54,790 --> 00:49:52,319 been remote viewers who are remarkably 1407 00:49:56,829 --> 00:49:54,800 capable have shown 1408 00:49:59,990 --> 00:49:56,839 you know again there was a 1409 00:50:02,549 --> 00:50:00,000 program funded by the cia 1410 00:50:05,109 --> 00:50:02,559 at sri with help put off and 1411 00:50:07,510 --> 00:50:05,119 russell targen people that ran for 20 1412 00:50:09,670 --> 00:50:07,520 years okay it was it was a fully funded 1413 00:50:12,549 --> 00:50:09,680 government program that run for 20 years 1414 00:50:14,950 --> 00:50:12,559 you don't fund a program for 20 years 1415 00:50:17,109 --> 00:50:14,960 if it doesn't produce results i mean 1416 00:50:19,030 --> 00:50:17,119 there are already there are always more 1417 00:50:20,630 --> 00:50:19,040 programs searching for money in 1418 00:50:22,790 --> 00:50:20,640 governmental circles than there is money 1419 00:50:25,190 --> 00:50:22,800 to go around so at the end of the day if 1420 00:50:26,630 --> 00:50:25,200 you're not producing intel that's 1421 00:50:29,109 --> 00:50:26,640 valuable especially in the midst of a 1422 00:50:31,349 --> 00:50:29,119 cold war you're gonna get axed but they 1423 00:50:33,750 --> 00:50:31,359 weren't axed they were funded for 20 1424 00:50:35,109 --> 00:50:33,760 years and i still think it's still going 1425 00:50:38,950 --> 00:50:35,119 on it's probably 1426 00:50:42,870 --> 00:50:40,390 but 1427 00:50:46,150 --> 00:50:42,880 we know that they were capable of for 1428 00:50:47,670 --> 00:50:46,160 instance producing intel about 1429 00:50:49,510 --> 00:50:47,680 military infrastructure within the 1430 00:50:52,790 --> 00:50:49,520 soviet union right 1431 00:50:54,150 --> 00:50:52,800 we have cases where they provided intel 1432 00:50:55,750 --> 00:50:54,160 and what you do with that kind of intel 1433 00:50:57,270 --> 00:50:55,760 is you try and verify it through other 1434 00:50:59,190 --> 00:50:57,280 means and they were able to verify it 1435 00:51:01,270 --> 00:50:59,200 through other means so we know that 1436 00:51:02,710 --> 00:51:01,280 these guys joseph 1437 00:51:03,990 --> 00:51:02,720 mcmonagle being one of them like you 1438 00:51:05,270 --> 00:51:04,000 mentioned 1439 00:51:08,950 --> 00:51:05,280 was able to 1440 00:51:11,990 --> 00:51:08,960 see without seeing right uh you know 1441 00:51:13,910 --> 00:51:12,000 without using his normal senses uh had a 1442 00:51:15,589 --> 00:51:13,920 vision of this 1443 00:51:17,589 --> 00:51:15,599 these various military infrastructure in 1444 00:51:19,030 --> 00:51:17,599 the soviet union and later on they would 1445 00:51:20,630 --> 00:51:19,040 take a picture when they actually found 1446 00:51:22,309 --> 00:51:20,640 this thing eventually and it's 1447 00:51:24,390 --> 00:51:22,319 remarkable there's no way you can say 1448 00:51:26,630 --> 00:51:24,400 that that he kind of just guessed it's 1449 00:51:27,670 --> 00:51:26,640 something that was not known to exist at 1450 00:51:28,790 --> 00:51:27,680 the time 1451 00:51:30,230 --> 00:51:28,800 even the 1452 00:51:31,750 --> 00:51:30,240 the military brass didn't know what to 1453 00:51:34,069 --> 00:51:31,760 do with it because they weren't aware of 1454 00:51:35,670 --> 00:51:34,079 anything like that and yet later on it's 1455 00:51:37,190 --> 00:51:35,680 verified as true so 1456 00:51:39,190 --> 00:51:37,200 i say that to point out that we've 1457 00:51:40,630 --> 00:51:39,200 already seen that these guys produce 1458 00:51:42,230 --> 00:51:40,640 valid intel that's been verified 1459 00:51:44,150 --> 00:51:42,240 elsewhere so we know they have a talent 1460 00:51:46,150 --> 00:51:44,160 we know what really happens 1461 00:51:47,670 --> 00:51:46,160 those same guys 1462 00:51:48,829 --> 00:51:47,680 like you mentioned some of them eric 1463 00:51:51,349 --> 00:51:48,839 geller 1464 00:51:52,390 --> 00:51:51,359 mcmonagle etc 1465 00:51:53,349 --> 00:51:52,400 they 1466 00:51:54,870 --> 00:51:53,359 also 1467 00:51:57,510 --> 00:51:54,880 um have 1468 00:51:59,990 --> 00:51:57,520 remote viewed supposedly 1469 00:52:02,390 --> 00:52:00,000 alien spacecraft sometimes orbiting the 1470 00:52:03,829 --> 00:52:02,400 earth and sometimes even supposed alien 1471 00:52:05,670 --> 00:52:03,839 bases like 1472 00:52:07,990 --> 00:52:05,680 you know four major ones i remember 1473 00:52:10,390 --> 00:52:08,000 being described around the earth in 1474 00:52:12,790 --> 00:52:10,400 different places 1475 00:52:15,109 --> 00:52:12,800 and it's it's difficult to discount that 1476 00:52:17,990 --> 00:52:15,119 because these are the same individuals 1477 00:52:19,910 --> 00:52:18,000 that produced valid you know proven 1478 00:52:21,750 --> 00:52:19,920 intel elsewhere 1479 00:52:24,309 --> 00:52:21,760 and the way that 1480 00:52:26,630 --> 00:52:24,319 any kind of psi works is that you know 1481 00:52:29,190 --> 00:52:26,640 time and space kind of become irrelevant 1482 00:52:30,870 --> 00:52:29,200 you know and the way that 1483 00:52:32,950 --> 00:52:30,880 aspect right there is is a key part of 1484 00:52:34,870 --> 00:52:32,960 the book i'm writing in terms of 1485 00:52:35,910 --> 00:52:34,880 what does that tell us about reality the 1486 00:52:38,230 --> 00:52:35,920 fact that 1487 00:52:40,710 --> 00:52:38,240 we can sometimes perceive 1488 00:52:42,470 --> 00:52:40,720 events that seem to not exist within 1489 00:52:44,790 --> 00:52:42,480 space time at all what does that 1490 00:52:46,870 --> 00:52:44,800 tell us about space time as a construct 1491 00:52:49,990 --> 00:52:46,880 as opposed to you know the the 1492 00:52:50,790 --> 00:52:50,000 the substratum of reality itself 1493 00:52:53,270 --> 00:52:50,800 so 1494 00:52:55,589 --> 00:52:53,280 yes i think that we have to look at the 1495 00:52:57,589 --> 00:52:55,599 the remote viewing work um the psi work 1496 00:53:01,829 --> 00:52:57,599 that's been done and i think that's 1497 00:53:03,990 --> 00:53:01,839 another data point that suggests yes the 1498 00:53:05,190 --> 00:53:04,000 aliens are here whatever they are right 1499 00:53:06,309 --> 00:53:05,200 and again i think there's more than one 1500 00:53:07,270 --> 00:53:06,319 source 1501 00:53:09,589 --> 00:53:07,280 and 1502 00:53:11,430 --> 00:53:09,599 likely there are things like 1503 00:53:13,349 --> 00:53:11,440 not only craft but now we introduce 1504 00:53:14,790 --> 00:53:13,359 things like alien bases you know and 1505 00:53:15,910 --> 00:53:14,800 things like that 1506 00:53:18,069 --> 00:53:15,920 and there's even been part of the 1507 00:53:19,270 --> 00:53:18,079 literature that wants to 1508 00:53:21,109 --> 00:53:19,280 you know 1509 00:53:22,950 --> 00:53:21,119 speculate that perhaps even aspects of 1510 00:53:25,510 --> 00:53:22,960 the government are in cahoots with some 1511 00:53:27,829 --> 00:53:25,520 of these others and you know people 1512 00:53:29,670 --> 00:53:27,839 sometimes add abductees or contactees 1513 00:53:32,069 --> 00:53:29,680 will report seeing 1514 00:53:34,390 --> 00:53:32,079 human beings along with things like gray 1515 00:53:37,270 --> 00:53:34,400 aliens in these bases right not to 1516 00:53:38,150 --> 00:53:37,280 mention on board supposed spacecraft 1517 00:53:40,069 --> 00:53:38,160 so 1518 00:53:41,910 --> 00:53:40,079 that has led a lot of people to say aha 1519 00:53:43,190 --> 00:53:41,920 not only does the government know that 1520 00:53:45,430 --> 00:53:43,200 they're here but they're actually 1521 00:53:48,870 --> 00:53:45,440 working with them and they've made these 1522 00:53:51,990 --> 00:53:48,880 you know agreements these concords to uh 1523 00:53:55,510 --> 00:53:52,000 let them abduct people in in exchange 1524 00:53:57,349 --> 00:53:55,520 for technology and those kind of things 1525 00:53:58,950 --> 00:53:57,359 that's uh that's a whole other ball of 1526 00:54:01,910 --> 00:53:58,960 wax to get into 1527 00:54:05,430 --> 00:54:01,920 um but all it is to say yes i think 1528 00:54:07,510 --> 00:54:05,440 psi is real psy is a central 1529 00:54:08,870 --> 00:54:07,520 data point to make sense of the entire 1530 00:54:09,990 --> 00:54:08,880 phenomenon 1531 00:54:12,790 --> 00:54:10,000 and it's something we need to pay 1532 00:54:13,910 --> 00:54:12,800 attention pension to in terms of 1533 00:54:15,910 --> 00:54:13,920 what's actually going on what the 1534 00:54:17,589 --> 00:54:15,920 government knows etc 1535 00:54:19,270 --> 00:54:17,599 yeah and i want to point out that for 1536 00:54:21,270 --> 00:54:19,280 our listeners you know we we're talking 1537 00:54:25,349 --> 00:54:21,280 about these uh 1538 00:54:29,990 --> 00:54:27,430 and as it relates to disclosure because 1539 00:54:31,670 --> 00:54:30,000 it points to the complexity of this 1540 00:54:35,109 --> 00:54:31,680 just generally 1541 00:54:37,430 --> 00:54:35,119 that it's no there's no simple 1542 00:54:39,510 --> 00:54:37,440 narrative that can just be you know 1543 00:54:41,589 --> 00:54:39,520 written down on a one sheet of paper 1544 00:54:43,829 --> 00:54:41,599 that kind of explains what's happening 1545 00:54:47,030 --> 00:54:43,839 here i can think even more recently of a 1546 00:54:49,430 --> 00:54:47,040 great example of this that in in in the 1547 00:54:51,109 --> 00:54:49,440 ufo community was 1548 00:54:53,589 --> 00:54:51,119 got kind of a lukewarm reception and 1549 00:54:55,030 --> 00:54:53,599 that's skin walkers at the pentacon you 1550 00:54:57,829 --> 00:54:55,040 know talking about 1551 00:55:01,750 --> 00:54:57,839 awsap and the work of 1552 00:55:03,510 --> 00:55:01,760 james lakatsky and bob bigelow 1553 00:55:06,069 --> 00:55:03,520 you know with skinwalker ranch and the 1554 00:55:09,430 --> 00:55:06,079 phenomenon that was observed there again 1555 00:55:11,030 --> 00:55:09,440 a funded program over many years 1556 00:55:13,190 --> 00:55:11,040 involving a lot of government 1557 00:55:14,870 --> 00:55:13,200 professionals some very highly 1558 00:55:16,789 --> 00:55:14,880 credentialed people 1559 00:55:18,309 --> 00:55:16,799 with with exceptional backgrounds and 1560 00:55:20,870 --> 00:55:18,319 security clearances 1561 00:55:23,670 --> 00:55:20,880 reporting in this book a range of 1562 00:55:25,430 --> 00:55:23,680 phenomenon that is you know kind of out 1563 00:55:26,950 --> 00:55:25,440 there if i were just to be candid and i 1564 00:55:29,030 --> 00:55:26,960 think that's part of the 1565 00:55:30,309 --> 00:55:29,040 reason why i got such a you know kind of 1566 00:55:39,270 --> 00:55:30,319 a 1567 00:55:40,950 --> 00:55:39,280 fitting into their into their notion of 1568 00:55:43,349 --> 00:55:40,960 disclosure and we haven't talked about 1569 00:55:46,069 --> 00:55:43,359 this really explicitly but that's part 1570 00:55:47,910 --> 00:55:46,079 of this conversation there's disclosure 1571 00:55:49,190 --> 00:55:47,920 as it is and there's disclosure as i 1572 00:55:50,870 --> 00:55:49,200 want it to be 1573 00:55:52,789 --> 00:55:50,880 you know and so when you're handed this 1574 00:55:53,910 --> 00:55:52,799 piece and you're saying okay here's a 1575 00:55:55,109 --> 00:55:53,920 piece for you it's part of the 1576 00:55:56,309 --> 00:55:55,119 disclosure narrative and you're looking 1577 00:55:59,030 --> 00:55:56,319 at it and going like well this isn't 1578 00:56:00,630 --> 00:55:59,040 going to go into my puzzle 1579 00:56:02,950 --> 00:56:00,640 you know this doesn't fit with what i've 1580 00:56:04,630 --> 00:56:02,960 already constructed so 1581 00:56:06,710 --> 00:56:04,640 uh this must be bogus you can't be 1582 00:56:08,150 --> 00:56:06,720 serious like i'm sorry you know 1583 00:56:08,789 --> 00:56:08,160 you can take this book and i don't need 1584 00:56:11,510 --> 00:56:08,799 it 1585 00:56:14,309 --> 00:56:11,520 i think that's um premature i think i 1586 00:56:15,109 --> 00:56:14,319 think over time we're gonna find that 1587 00:56:21,510 --> 00:56:15,119 the 1588 00:56:24,150 --> 00:56:21,520 does point somewhere 1589 00:56:26,789 --> 00:56:24,160 and is going to be part of the overall 1590 00:56:28,710 --> 00:56:26,799 story but i i wonder you know to what 1591 00:56:32,069 --> 00:56:28,720 degree have you kind of thought about 1592 00:56:34,470 --> 00:56:32,079 that and uh and and where does uh a 1593 00:56:36,230 --> 00:56:34,480 place like skinwalker ranch and all the 1594 00:56:37,750 --> 00:56:36,240 purported phenomenon that takes place 1595 00:56:39,670 --> 00:56:37,760 there where does that fit in into this 1596 00:56:42,069 --> 00:56:39,680 conversation 1597 00:56:44,789 --> 00:56:42,079 yeah it's a great point and i think 1598 00:56:46,789 --> 00:56:44,799 you raised a really important uh notion 1599 00:56:48,230 --> 00:56:46,799 that to some degree you could argue 1600 00:56:49,910 --> 00:56:48,240 there's been 1601 00:56:51,990 --> 00:56:49,920 you know a slow leak of disclosure 1602 00:56:54,069 --> 00:56:52,000 already you know a book like 1603 00:56:56,549 --> 00:56:54,079 skinwalkers of the pentagon not only got 1604 00:56:58,069 --> 00:56:56,559 written but it got approved right these 1605 00:57:00,470 --> 00:56:58,079 are guys that because they had top 1606 00:57:02,549 --> 00:57:00,480 secret clearances 1607 00:57:03,349 --> 00:57:02,559 you know calm kelleher and lakatsky and 1608 00:57:05,190 --> 00:57:03,359 stuff 1609 00:57:08,309 --> 00:57:05,200 had to get this 1610 00:57:10,150 --> 00:57:08,319 like line by line read you know and and 1611 00:57:12,230 --> 00:57:10,160 approved they could only release for 1612 00:57:14,309 --> 00:57:12,240 publication what was willing to be 1613 00:57:16,630 --> 00:57:14,319 released by by the government right by 1614 00:57:18,470 --> 00:57:16,640 the authorities they worked for 1615 00:57:20,950 --> 00:57:18,480 um that tells you something right there 1616 00:57:23,349 --> 00:57:20,960 that you you could argue that 1617 00:57:25,030 --> 00:57:23,359 what the government has decided is that 1618 00:57:26,549 --> 00:57:25,040 the best way to let this out is through 1619 00:57:28,630 --> 00:57:26,559 slow leaks 1620 00:57:30,710 --> 00:57:28,640 and and through there's this notion of 1621 00:57:34,150 --> 00:57:30,720 you know plausible deniability 1622 00:57:35,589 --> 00:57:34,160 you you release information so that 1623 00:57:37,349 --> 00:57:35,599 you get into the collective 1624 00:57:39,430 --> 00:57:37,359 consciousness these notions that this 1625 00:57:41,190 --> 00:57:39,440 might be going on right so you you 1626 00:57:43,750 --> 00:57:41,200 desensitize people to the notion that 1627 00:57:45,510 --> 00:57:43,760 might be shocking otherwise if 1628 00:57:47,910 --> 00:57:45,520 you had a presidential address that said 1629 00:57:49,670 --> 00:57:47,920 it outright so instead you you slowly 1630 00:57:51,829 --> 00:57:49,680 leak it into the 1631 00:57:53,829 --> 00:57:51,839 into the consciousness right into the 1632 00:57:56,309 --> 00:57:53,839 the social spheres and whatnot so it 1633 00:57:58,710 --> 00:57:56,319 becomes part of the ongoing conversation 1634 00:58:01,190 --> 00:57:58,720 so that when one day you get more direct 1635 00:58:02,950 --> 00:58:01,200 confirmation that's what it is it's more 1636 00:58:04,870 --> 00:58:02,960 confirmation of what was already kind of 1637 00:58:06,630 --> 00:58:04,880 in the ethos 1638 00:58:09,910 --> 00:58:06,640 so 1639 00:58:11,349 --> 00:58:09,920 like you i've been surprised by 1640 00:58:13,030 --> 00:58:11,359 so first of all i want to say none of 1641 00:58:14,470 --> 00:58:13,040 the weirdness surprises me at all i 1642 00:58:16,549 --> 00:58:14,480 think that 1643 00:58:19,190 --> 00:58:16,559 the research i've done says that 1644 00:58:23,510 --> 00:58:19,200 absolutely all of that is happening and 1645 00:58:25,670 --> 00:58:23,520 and what's fascinating there is that 1646 00:58:27,270 --> 00:58:25,680 they decided that based on historical 1647 00:58:29,030 --> 00:58:27,280 research that had already been done by 1648 00:58:30,710 --> 00:58:29,040 people like bob bigelow and his 1649 00:58:32,630 --> 00:58:30,720 organization 1650 00:58:35,190 --> 00:58:32,640 with nids and whatnot 1651 00:58:39,190 --> 00:58:35,200 it had already been shown that these 1652 00:58:42,549 --> 00:58:39,200 other anomalous phenomena would co-arise 1653 00:58:45,190 --> 00:58:42,559 with ufos so it's a it's a false 1654 00:58:46,390 --> 00:58:45,200 distinction to say let's just focus on 1655 00:58:47,510 --> 00:58:46,400 ufos 1656 00:58:50,150 --> 00:58:47,520 because 1657 00:58:51,510 --> 00:58:50,160 that that be like trying to to resolve 1658 00:58:53,670 --> 00:58:51,520 some sort of disease that you're trying 1659 00:58:54,789 --> 00:58:53,680 to figure out but you'll you say we're 1660 00:58:56,230 --> 00:58:54,799 only going to pay attention to these 1661 00:58:58,230 --> 00:58:56,240 data points even though these other ones 1662 00:59:00,549 --> 00:58:58,240 keep showing up we're going to pretend 1663 00:59:02,390 --> 00:59:00,559 that those don't exist because it it's 1664 00:59:04,309 --> 00:59:02,400 unnerving and doesn't fit with our 1665 00:59:06,309 --> 00:59:04,319 conventional understanding of reality 1666 00:59:08,069 --> 00:59:06,319 now if if you're truly taking a 1667 00:59:09,829 --> 00:59:08,079 scientific approach and i 1668 00:59:11,589 --> 00:59:09,839 you know commend these guys for doing 1669 00:59:13,750 --> 00:59:11,599 exactly that 1670 00:59:15,750 --> 00:59:13,760 you you say no if this is what the data 1671 00:59:18,309 --> 00:59:15,760 shows us then we follow it 1672 00:59:20,069 --> 00:59:18,319 we don't go in with a presupposition 1673 00:59:21,510 --> 00:59:20,079 about reality and exclude everything 1674 00:59:23,910 --> 00:59:21,520 that doesn't fit that that's not how you 1675 00:59:25,910 --> 00:59:23,920 should do science you go in and say 1676 00:59:27,829 --> 00:59:25,920 look this is what we see we have to 1677 00:59:29,510 --> 00:59:27,839 rethink again this gets back to what 1678 00:59:31,910 --> 00:59:29,520 i've been thinking about is 1679 00:59:33,990 --> 00:59:31,920 what kind of conception of reality would 1680 00:59:36,230 --> 00:59:34,000 be such that those kind of phenomena 1681 00:59:37,109 --> 00:59:36,240 would be predictable you know 1682 00:59:39,670 --> 00:59:37,119 and 1683 00:59:41,430 --> 00:59:39,680 absolutely skinwalker ranch is a really 1684 00:59:42,630 --> 00:59:41,440 key piece and 1685 00:59:45,349 --> 00:59:42,640 it is 1686 00:59:48,470 --> 00:59:45,359 strange to me that that book 1687 00:59:50,470 --> 00:59:48,480 hasn't had more of an impact i mean 1688 00:59:52,230 --> 00:59:50,480 we're talking about not just people as 1689 00:59:53,270 --> 00:59:52,240 much as people complain about anecdotal 1690 00:59:54,870 --> 00:59:53,280 stories 1691 00:59:56,950 --> 00:59:54,880 these are researchers going in with 1692 00:59:59,190 --> 00:59:56,960 sensor systems and whatnot people highly 1693 01:00:00,549 --> 00:59:59,200 credentialed who for the longest time 1694 01:00:01,910 --> 01:00:00,559 this is the last thing they would want 1695 01:00:04,069 --> 01:00:01,920 to be associated with because it's a 1696 01:00:05,990 --> 01:00:04,079 career killer right but 1697 01:00:08,309 --> 01:00:06,000 thankfully these guys were 1698 01:00:10,549 --> 01:00:08,319 you know taken with curiosity to say 1699 01:00:13,349 --> 01:00:10,559 wait a second something's going on we've 1700 01:00:15,910 --> 01:00:13,359 we've got objective data let's look into 1701 01:00:17,670 --> 01:00:15,920 it and and yeah when people hear about 1702 01:00:19,829 --> 01:00:17,680 seven foot tall 1703 01:00:21,589 --> 01:00:19,839 wolf like creatures smoking cigarettes 1704 01:00:23,109 --> 01:00:21,599 leaning up against a light post standing 1705 01:00:24,390 --> 01:00:23,119 on two legs 1706 01:00:25,829 --> 01:00:24,400 you know showing up on the other side of 1707 01:00:27,109 --> 01:00:25,839 the country from skinwalker ranch 1708 01:00:29,030 --> 01:00:27,119 because of some sort of hitchhiker 1709 01:00:31,030 --> 01:00:29,040 phenomena that happened 1710 01:00:32,870 --> 01:00:31,040 that's really out there right like some 1711 01:00:35,430 --> 01:00:32,880 people just go 1712 01:00:37,349 --> 01:00:35,440 i can't go there like and so they they 1713 01:00:40,069 --> 01:00:37,359 unconsciously 1714 01:00:41,670 --> 01:00:40,079 just delete that data from from their 1715 01:00:43,910 --> 01:00:41,680 consciousness right and say can we get 1716 01:00:47,589 --> 01:00:43,920 back to the eth and confirming that the 1717 01:00:52,470 --> 01:00:50,230 no we can't we we can't do that and and 1718 01:00:54,710 --> 01:00:52,480 like you've been pointing out 1719 01:00:57,109 --> 01:00:54,720 that's why disclosure is so complex 1720 01:00:59,430 --> 01:00:57,119 because it's it's a fundamental 1721 01:01:01,910 --> 01:00:59,440 rewriting i'm convinced of what reality 1722 01:01:03,030 --> 01:01:01,920 is and so the way i look we talk about 1723 01:01:06,069 --> 01:01:03,040 different people it means different 1724 01:01:07,910 --> 01:01:06,079 things too to me that's what capital d 1725 01:01:09,910 --> 01:01:07,920 disclosure ultimately is is that the 1726 01:01:11,190 --> 01:01:09,920 very fabric of reality is not what we 1727 01:01:13,190 --> 01:01:11,200 thought it was 1728 01:01:15,109 --> 01:01:13,200 that um 1729 01:01:17,670 --> 01:01:15,119 how do you disclose that 1730 01:01:19,510 --> 01:01:17,680 there's no easy answer and on top of 1731 01:01:21,349 --> 01:01:19,520 that there are plenty of people who look 1732 01:01:22,630 --> 01:01:21,359 at the same data and not come to that 1733 01:01:24,630 --> 01:01:22,640 conclusion because they have different 1734 01:01:26,069 --> 01:01:24,640 presuppositions or different backgrounds 1735 01:01:26,950 --> 01:01:26,079 or whatever 1736 01:01:28,789 --> 01:01:26,960 so 1737 01:01:30,710 --> 01:01:28,799 it's not even that when you look at 1738 01:01:32,549 --> 01:01:30,720 sometimes like even with scientific 1739 01:01:34,309 --> 01:01:32,559 revolutions 1740 01:01:36,230 --> 01:01:34,319 something will be clear in the data 1741 01:01:37,990 --> 01:01:36,240 it'll take decades and decades and 1742 01:01:40,309 --> 01:01:38,000 decades before it works itself into the 1743 01:01:42,150 --> 01:01:40,319 mainstream because of the prejudice and 1744 01:01:43,829 --> 01:01:42,160 the inertia that the current mainstream 1745 01:01:44,630 --> 01:01:43,839 view has it's just the nature of the 1746 01:01:46,309 --> 01:01:44,640 game 1747 01:01:49,109 --> 01:01:46,319 for the longest time the church kind of 1748 01:01:50,390 --> 01:01:49,119 you know set the tone for what reality 1749 01:01:52,230 --> 01:01:50,400 consisted of 1750 01:01:54,630 --> 01:01:52,240 and then it kind of shifted to science 1751 01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:54,640 right and now there's a mainstream view 1752 01:01:58,230 --> 01:01:56,240 of physicalism as the underlying 1753 01:02:00,549 --> 01:01:58,240 paradigm even though there's been 1754 01:02:02,230 --> 01:02:00,559 evidence for a long time now especially 1755 01:02:05,190 --> 01:02:02,240 in quantum mechanics going back 100 1756 01:02:07,349 --> 01:02:05,200 years ago that that model is faulty that 1757 01:02:09,670 --> 01:02:07,359 it's not even tenable not just that it 1758 01:02:12,230 --> 01:02:09,680 has some holes it's just not tenable and 1759 01:02:14,230 --> 01:02:12,240 yet it's only slowly working its way 1760 01:02:16,549 --> 01:02:14,240 through the establishment and usually it 1761 01:02:17,589 --> 01:02:16,559 takes a lot of funerals to be honest 1762 01:02:20,150 --> 01:02:17,599 with you 1763 01:02:22,950 --> 01:02:20,160 and generational shifts before that is 1764 01:02:24,630 --> 01:02:22,960 even capable of happening so 1765 01:02:26,150 --> 01:02:24,640 that's why you mentioned it early on in 1766 01:02:27,829 --> 01:02:26,160 this conversation this is probably a 1767 01:02:28,789 --> 01:02:27,839 multi-generational 1768 01:02:30,710 --> 01:02:28,799 um 1769 01:02:32,390 --> 01:02:30,720 matter if we're talking about really 1770 01:02:34,870 --> 01:02:32,400 capital d disclosure in terms of what's 1771 01:02:37,029 --> 01:02:34,880 really involved 1772 01:02:37,910 --> 01:02:37,039 well we've talked a good bit about 1773 01:02:39,430 --> 01:02:37,920 you know 1774 01:02:41,349 --> 01:02:39,440 what the government may know what the 1775 01:02:42,309 --> 01:02:41,359 government has studied 1776 01:02:43,910 --> 01:02:42,319 um 1777 01:02:47,270 --> 01:02:43,920 there's another component to this as 1778 01:02:49,750 --> 01:02:47,280 well and that's the things that 1779 01:02:51,829 --> 01:02:49,760 we have have heard and read and 1780 01:02:53,829 --> 01:02:51,839 uh and many of us experienced and that 1781 01:02:56,789 --> 01:02:53,839 is that that personal experience of of 1782 01:03:00,390 --> 01:02:56,799 the phenomenon of where individuals 1783 01:03:02,950 --> 01:03:00,400 already have a firsthand a very visceral 1784 01:03:05,190 --> 01:03:02,960 uh experience of of that fabric of 1785 01:03:07,190 --> 01:03:05,200 reality being distorted and different 1786 01:03:11,029 --> 01:03:07,200 than they thought before 1787 01:03:12,549 --> 01:03:11,039 and so i think uh the community 1788 01:03:14,789 --> 01:03:12,559 as far as i can tell really does 1789 01:03:16,630 --> 01:03:14,799 struggle with with that component of 1790 01:03:17,910 --> 01:03:16,640 this because and this speaks to 1791 01:03:19,750 --> 01:03:17,920 something that that i've talked about 1792 01:03:22,710 --> 01:03:19,760 before and that's 1793 01:03:25,750 --> 01:03:22,720 the one aspect of disclosure is 1794 01:03:29,029 --> 01:03:25,760 is is how truth itself is mediated in 1795 01:03:31,109 --> 01:03:29,039 society you know so how how 1796 01:03:34,390 --> 01:03:31,119 whatever is is 1797 01:03:36,630 --> 01:03:34,400 is given or granted in uh in public in 1798 01:03:39,510 --> 01:03:36,640 public square through the media through 1799 01:03:42,230 --> 01:03:39,520 government channels etc you know 1800 01:03:45,349 --> 01:03:42,240 those if if it travels through certain 1801 01:03:47,029 --> 01:03:45,359 avenues and pathways it becomes 1802 01:03:48,710 --> 01:03:47,039 part of the truth that is commonly 1803 01:03:49,990 --> 01:03:48,720 accepted becomes part of consensus 1804 01:03:52,870 --> 01:03:50,000 reality 1805 01:03:55,349 --> 01:03:52,880 you know i i'm struggling with the 1806 01:03:56,710 --> 01:03:55,359 individual experiences and understanding 1807 01:04:01,990 --> 01:03:56,720 how 1808 01:04:04,630 --> 01:04:02,000 onto a stage that that that would 1809 01:04:05,990 --> 01:04:04,640 make its way into consensus reality at 1810 01:04:07,430 --> 01:04:06,000 the same time 1811 01:04:09,670 --> 01:04:07,440 you know there's kind of this like 1812 01:04:11,829 --> 01:04:09,680 almost like an irony to that because 1813 01:04:14,549 --> 01:04:11,839 you and i both know that when you begin 1814 01:04:16,150 --> 01:04:14,559 having this conversation with people 1815 01:04:17,910 --> 01:04:16,160 and you open the door to this 1816 01:04:20,230 --> 01:04:17,920 strangeness 1817 01:04:22,789 --> 01:04:20,240 more often than not you'll find that 1818 01:04:24,710 --> 01:04:22,799 people have have an experience they 1819 01:04:27,029 --> 01:04:24,720 won't they want to share or they know 1820 01:04:29,190 --> 01:04:27,039 someone who did either in their family 1821 01:04:32,309 --> 01:04:29,200 or a close friend or whatnot so 1822 01:04:34,710 --> 01:04:32,319 uh there's there tends to be quite a bit 1823 01:04:37,270 --> 01:04:34,720 of uh 1824 01:04:39,670 --> 01:04:37,280 of personal experience that everyone 1825 01:04:41,270 --> 01:04:39,680 kind of carries with them that they have 1826 01:04:43,750 --> 01:04:41,280 trouble explaining 1827 01:04:44,870 --> 01:04:43,760 and you know our our sort of very highly 1828 01:04:47,510 --> 01:04:44,880 rational 1829 01:04:49,589 --> 01:04:47,520 uh you know left brain society tends to 1830 01:04:51,510 --> 01:04:49,599 kind of take those experiences and we we 1831 01:04:54,390 --> 01:04:51,520 say ah you know that's uh 1832 01:04:57,109 --> 01:04:54,400 you know you were tired or uh you know 1833 01:04:59,270 --> 01:04:57,119 you you had too much to drink or 1834 01:05:01,510 --> 01:04:59,280 uh you were having an episode or 1835 01:05:03,349 --> 01:05:01,520 whatever it is uh you know you saw a 1836 01:05:05,430 --> 01:05:03,359 shadow and that was just a tree or you 1837 01:05:08,549 --> 01:05:05,440 know like we try to explain everything 1838 01:05:10,390 --> 01:05:08,559 away but you know to me the um 1839 01:05:12,230 --> 01:05:10,400 the difficulty with that 1840 01:05:15,750 --> 01:05:12,240 way of approaching it is just the the 1841 01:05:17,430 --> 01:05:15,760 sheer sum total of experiences uh that 1842 01:05:20,390 --> 01:05:17,440 that we hear about and that we know 1843 01:05:21,589 --> 01:05:20,400 about from in our own experiences to me 1844 01:05:23,829 --> 01:05:21,599 outweigh 1845 01:05:26,870 --> 01:05:23,839 that argument uh and kind of make it 1846 01:05:28,870 --> 01:05:26,880 seem silly so it does come back to what 1847 01:05:31,190 --> 01:05:28,880 you said a minute ago that we are 1848 01:05:32,710 --> 01:05:31,200 fighting against the inertia of the 1849 01:05:34,470 --> 01:05:32,720 model of the world what we have 1850 01:05:38,230 --> 01:05:34,480 inherited and so 1851 01:05:40,630 --> 01:05:38,240 how do we think that 1852 01:05:43,349 --> 01:05:40,640 these individual experiences will make 1853 01:05:45,670 --> 01:05:43,359 their way into this 1854 01:05:49,190 --> 01:05:45,680 this unfolding story you know will it be 1855 01:05:51,510 --> 01:05:49,200 kind of a a co-creative process where 1856 01:05:53,670 --> 01:05:51,520 and i kind of tend to think it will that 1857 01:05:55,910 --> 01:05:53,680 as the government you know kind of peels 1858 01:05:57,670 --> 01:05:55,920 back some of these layers and says well 1859 01:06:00,230 --> 01:05:57,680 hey there's now this and there's now 1860 01:06:02,549 --> 01:06:00,240 that well then that kind of gives uh 1861 01:06:05,029 --> 01:06:02,559 permission to to 1862 01:06:06,630 --> 01:06:05,039 everyone to say oh you know i i saw one 1863 01:06:08,950 --> 01:06:06,640 of those and i had an experience kind of 1864 01:06:11,190 --> 01:06:08,960 like that and then that itself 1865 01:06:13,430 --> 01:06:11,200 is a feedback mechanism that then the 1866 01:06:15,750 --> 01:06:13,440 government's going okay now you know 1867 01:06:18,710 --> 01:06:15,760 people are cool with this uh we can now 1868 01:06:21,190 --> 01:06:18,720 unfold this layer of the story so it ha 1869 01:06:23,589 --> 01:06:21,200 it is a very much a 1870 01:06:25,029 --> 01:06:23,599 a co-creative process and i don't know 1871 01:06:26,390 --> 01:06:25,039 that many people talk of disclosure in 1872 01:06:28,069 --> 01:06:26,400 that way we tend to think of it as very 1873 01:06:30,390 --> 01:06:28,079 much like transactional it's very 1874 01:06:32,549 --> 01:06:30,400 one-sided the government's gonna do it 1875 01:06:33,990 --> 01:06:32,559 we're gonna take it and then okay great 1876 01:06:36,150 --> 01:06:34,000 let's run with that new knowledge that 1877 01:06:38,870 --> 01:06:36,160 we've been that we have received 1878 01:06:40,150 --> 01:06:38,880 i think the reality is it's it's in what 1879 01:06:42,470 --> 01:06:40,160 we're i think i would argue what we're 1880 01:06:43,750 --> 01:06:42,480 actually seeing is that it is this 1881 01:06:46,630 --> 01:06:43,760 relational 1882 01:06:49,349 --> 01:06:46,640 uh in a sort of unfolding of information 1883 01:06:53,670 --> 01:06:49,359 and it it requires the participation of 1884 01:06:55,510 --> 01:06:53,680 society just generally uh and and and 1885 01:06:57,510 --> 01:06:55,520 that's super important too in today's 1886 01:07:00,069 --> 01:06:57,520 world because there's a tremendous 1887 01:07:01,510 --> 01:07:00,079 degree of distrust in government itself 1888 01:07:03,430 --> 01:07:01,520 so even if the government were to come 1889 01:07:05,510 --> 01:07:03,440 out and say hey here you go guys here it 1890 01:07:07,670 --> 01:07:05,520 is here it all is on the silver platter 1891 01:07:09,190 --> 01:07:07,680 i can guarantee that that our society 1892 01:07:11,430 --> 01:07:09,200 would take to social media then that 1893 01:07:12,630 --> 01:07:11,440 next day and and rip that thing to 1894 01:07:15,190 --> 01:07:12,640 pieces 1895 01:07:16,549 --> 01:07:15,200 and so it kind of has to be 1896 01:07:18,870 --> 01:07:16,559 this uh 1897 01:07:21,430 --> 01:07:18,880 path where everyone's got some skin in 1898 01:07:24,710 --> 01:07:21,440 the game and what are the little sort of 1899 01:07:27,430 --> 01:07:24,720 pieces and nuggets that can be uh shared 1900 01:07:31,109 --> 01:07:27,440 that facilitate and catalyze 1901 01:07:33,109 --> 01:07:31,119 the the the doors opening to to these 1902 01:07:35,029 --> 01:07:33,119 other stories and participation of the 1903 01:07:37,750 --> 01:07:35,039 populace 1904 01:07:39,190 --> 01:07:37,760 yeah several excellent points there um 1905 01:07:40,870 --> 01:07:39,200 one of them being 1906 01:07:42,470 --> 01:07:40,880 and i agree with you that 1907 01:07:44,870 --> 01:07:42,480 we need to remember that in many ways 1908 01:07:47,349 --> 01:07:44,880 government reflects society it doesn't 1909 01:07:49,430 --> 01:07:47,359 it doesn't direct it you know and 1910 01:07:51,430 --> 01:07:49,440 when we think about social movements 1911 01:07:52,549 --> 01:07:51,440 that have changed that have eventually 1912 01:07:54,390 --> 01:07:52,559 become 1913 01:07:56,549 --> 01:07:54,400 enshrined in law 1914 01:07:57,910 --> 01:07:56,559 it's not because some lawmakers got 1915 01:07:59,990 --> 01:07:57,920 together and said hey you know what this 1916 01:08:01,430 --> 01:08:00,000 is actually the way 1917 01:08:03,829 --> 01:08:01,440 this would be on the side of justice so 1918 01:08:05,990 --> 01:08:03,839 we'll just change the laws no you get 1919 01:08:07,910 --> 01:08:06,000 years and years and years of a buildup 1920 01:08:11,190 --> 01:08:07,920 of lobbying 1921 01:08:13,910 --> 01:08:11,200 amongst a society till till you have a 1922 01:08:15,670 --> 01:08:13,920 majority of people or at least the most 1923 01:08:18,229 --> 01:08:15,680 influential people 1924 01:08:20,149 --> 01:08:18,239 agree that that actually is 1925 01:08:22,149 --> 01:08:20,159 good and right and just 1926 01:08:23,749 --> 01:08:22,159 then the laws change we we need to 1927 01:08:24,950 --> 01:08:23,759 remember that and so i think that's an 1928 01:08:26,870 --> 01:08:24,960 excellent point 1929 01:08:28,709 --> 01:08:26,880 um that 1930 01:08:30,630 --> 01:08:28,719 already disclosure is happening but it's 1931 01:08:33,110 --> 01:08:30,640 happening one conversation at a time 1932 01:08:34,789 --> 01:08:33,120 right one person to another 1933 01:08:36,550 --> 01:08:34,799 across generations 1934 01:08:38,870 --> 01:08:36,560 and like you say 1935 01:08:41,189 --> 01:08:38,880 every time a conversation's had 1936 01:08:42,630 --> 01:08:41,199 uh and we salute the brave people who 1937 01:08:44,309 --> 01:08:42,640 who have the conversations even when 1938 01:08:46,229 --> 01:08:44,319 they're rejected for it 1939 01:08:48,149 --> 01:08:46,239 um even when their mental health is 1940 01:08:50,550 --> 01:08:48,159 called into question for it 1941 01:08:53,669 --> 01:08:50,560 every time we do that it's like another 1942 01:08:55,030 --> 01:08:53,679 anchor point into this being real 1943 01:08:57,990 --> 01:08:55,040 and that 1944 01:09:01,510 --> 01:08:58,000 slowly takes away from the stigma 1945 01:09:03,749 --> 01:09:01,520 it slowly bases it in reality for people 1946 01:09:07,910 --> 01:09:03,759 and at some point it shifts into the 1947 01:09:09,749 --> 01:09:07,920 majority where people go like you said 1948 01:09:11,189 --> 01:09:09,759 everyone gets to the point where they go 1949 01:09:13,189 --> 01:09:11,199 i either had an experience or i know 1950 01:09:15,110 --> 01:09:13,199 someone that did you know that's not 1951 01:09:16,789 --> 01:09:15,120 explainable by one of these traditional 1952 01:09:18,870 --> 01:09:16,799 means 1953 01:09:21,669 --> 01:09:18,880 so so that part's 1954 01:09:23,669 --> 01:09:21,679 important to remember um 1955 01:09:25,669 --> 01:09:23,679 and we need to remember that recently 1956 01:09:27,829 --> 01:09:25,679 it's it's become clear uh in the 1957 01:09:30,550 --> 01:09:27,839 research i've done certainly that 1958 01:09:32,709 --> 01:09:30,560 a lot of the people even in these 1959 01:09:35,110 --> 01:09:32,719 intelligence community circles 1960 01:09:37,430 --> 01:09:35,120 are experiencers themselves 1961 01:09:38,390 --> 01:09:37,440 so it's not like they're trying to hold 1962 01:09:40,789 --> 01:09:38,400 back 1963 01:09:43,030 --> 01:09:40,799 this truth or don't believe it many of 1964 01:09:44,550 --> 01:09:43,040 them have personal experience 1965 01:09:46,309 --> 01:09:44,560 um 1966 01:09:48,550 --> 01:09:46,319 you could even argue 1967 01:09:49,990 --> 01:09:48,560 going big picture here 1968 01:09:51,749 --> 01:09:50,000 meta perspective 1969 01:09:53,430 --> 01:09:51,759 that perhaps even the phenomenon the 1970 01:09:54,790 --> 01:09:53,440 intelligence behind the phenomenon or 1971 01:09:55,750 --> 01:09:54,800 some of them 1972 01:10:00,709 --> 01:09:55,760 are 1973 01:10:04,310 --> 01:10:00,719 within those places of power and 1974 01:10:08,310 --> 01:10:06,870 shift the tide right because 1975 01:10:10,229 --> 01:10:08,320 maybe the intelligence behind the 1976 01:10:11,830 --> 01:10:10,239 phenomenon is aware that a sudden 1977 01:10:13,669 --> 01:10:11,840 disclosure would not be good we haven't 1978 01:10:16,149 --> 01:10:13,679 even talked about this right the piece 1979 01:10:17,910 --> 01:10:16,159 about how much does the phenomenon the 1980 01:10:20,950 --> 01:10:17,920 intelligence behind the phenomenon play 1981 01:10:23,510 --> 01:10:20,960 a role in disclosure because 1982 01:10:25,189 --> 01:10:23,520 some people would rightly argue listen 1983 01:10:27,510 --> 01:10:25,199 if they wanted to they could 1984 01:10:29,030 --> 01:10:27,520 make capital d disclosure happen 1985 01:10:30,790 --> 01:10:29,040 tomorrow you know land on the white 1986 01:10:31,910 --> 01:10:30,800 house lawn right 1987 01:10:33,910 --> 01:10:31,920 um 1988 01:10:37,270 --> 01:10:33,920 so maybe there's some you know 1989 01:10:38,550 --> 01:10:37,280 calculation going on there that that 1990 01:10:40,950 --> 01:10:38,560 again some people will look at that and 1991 01:10:41,669 --> 01:10:40,960 go that looks devious and deceptive to 1992 01:10:44,229 --> 01:10:41,679 me 1993 01:10:45,990 --> 01:10:44,239 i can't make any goodness out of that 1994 01:10:48,630 --> 01:10:46,000 other people might say no 1995 01:10:50,390 --> 01:10:48,640 that actually is a rational and caring 1996 01:10:53,430 --> 01:10:50,400 way to respond to not completely 1997 01:10:55,110 --> 01:10:53,440 destabilize a civilization in one go 1998 01:10:57,189 --> 01:10:55,120 so there's that piece too 1999 01:11:01,510 --> 01:10:57,199 but you make an excellent point also 2000 01:11:04,709 --> 01:11:01,520 that for many people disclosure is about 2001 01:11:05,669 --> 01:11:04,719 personal vindication right that they 2002 01:11:07,430 --> 01:11:05,679 they 2003 01:11:08,870 --> 01:11:07,440 have had experiences 2004 01:11:10,229 --> 01:11:08,880 or they know someone that did maybe a 2005 01:11:12,470 --> 01:11:10,239 family member maybe a parent and 2006 01:11:14,070 --> 01:11:12,480 grandparent that really suffered and 2007 01:11:16,310 --> 01:11:14,080 died without ever getting disclosure and 2008 01:11:18,390 --> 01:11:16,320 they feel like they want to you know 2009 01:11:19,590 --> 01:11:18,400 avenge those people right 2010 01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:19,600 um 2011 01:11:22,950 --> 01:11:20,480 and 2012 01:11:26,790 --> 01:11:22,960 when you've been told that you're either 2013 01:11:28,790 --> 01:11:26,800 crazy or you're making stuff up then 2014 01:11:31,430 --> 01:11:28,800 yeah you can understand why people would 2015 01:11:34,310 --> 01:11:31,440 want some authority to come forward and 2016 01:11:36,310 --> 01:11:34,320 say no this is this is real this really 2017 01:11:38,870 --> 01:11:36,320 happens this is part of reality this is 2018 01:11:41,030 --> 01:11:38,880 real life because then suddenly 2019 01:11:42,790 --> 01:11:41,040 not only do they have vindication 2020 01:11:44,149 --> 01:11:42,800 amongst their family and friends 2021 01:11:45,830 --> 01:11:44,159 but some of these people are still 2022 01:11:47,910 --> 01:11:45,840 questioning their own mental health some 2023 01:11:50,550 --> 01:11:47,920 of these people are still questioning 2024 01:11:51,750 --> 01:11:50,560 you know how more to reality are they if 2025 01:11:54,310 --> 01:11:51,760 they've had these experiences or 2026 01:11:55,990 --> 01:11:54,320 continue to have them so they want some 2027 01:11:56,870 --> 01:11:56,000 sort of context right they they have 2028 01:11:58,790 --> 01:11:56,880 these 2029 01:12:00,630 --> 01:11:58,800 outlier experiences that they don't know 2030 01:12:03,189 --> 01:12:00,640 where to put them right they don't fit 2031 01:12:05,990 --> 01:12:03,199 within any of our conventional narrative 2032 01:12:07,189 --> 01:12:06,000 you know you wake up in the forest 2033 01:12:08,790 --> 01:12:07,199 outside your house and you don't know 2034 01:12:10,470 --> 01:12:08,800 how you got there and your clothes are 2035 01:12:13,270 --> 01:12:10,480 put on backwards i mean 2036 01:12:15,030 --> 01:12:13,280 stuff like that 2037 01:12:17,910 --> 01:12:15,040 how do you make sense of that there is 2038 01:12:19,990 --> 01:12:17,920 no like consensus consensus narrative 2039 01:12:21,350 --> 01:12:20,000 right now that says oh that's a case of 2040 01:12:23,350 --> 01:12:21,360 this 2041 01:12:25,110 --> 01:12:23,360 so these people want some sort of 2042 01:12:27,990 --> 01:12:25,120 contextual 2043 01:12:29,350 --> 01:12:28,000 um grounding to 2044 01:12:31,830 --> 01:12:29,360 make sense of it for themselves for 2045 01:12:33,510 --> 01:12:31,840 their own mental health for their own 2046 01:12:34,870 --> 01:12:33,520 closure you know that's that's another 2047 01:12:37,110 --> 01:12:34,880 word we could use but instead of 2048 01:12:40,390 --> 01:12:37,120 disclosure it's closure some closure to 2049 01:12:43,430 --> 01:12:40,400 say aha this is as much part of reality 2050 01:12:46,149 --> 01:12:43,440 as me having you know 2051 01:12:48,149 --> 01:12:46,159 bran flakes for breakfast you know 2052 01:12:49,590 --> 01:12:48,159 so yeah the personal piece uh is 2053 01:12:50,790 --> 01:12:49,600 important and i think 2054 01:12:52,630 --> 01:12:50,800 many of the people we know in our 2055 01:12:55,030 --> 01:12:52,640 circles that are kind of really obsessed 2056 01:12:56,790 --> 01:12:55,040 with this uh with this topic 2057 01:12:59,270 --> 01:12:56,800 are are in it because there is a 2058 01:13:01,750 --> 01:12:59,280 personal angle for sure 2059 01:13:03,750 --> 01:13:01,760 yeah you've hit directly on the stakes 2060 01:13:04,709 --> 01:13:03,760 you know what are the stakes here at 2061 01:13:08,310 --> 01:13:04,719 play 2062 01:13:10,709 --> 01:13:08,320 uh and the delicate nature in which 2063 01:13:12,390 --> 01:13:10,719 this topic has to be handled 2064 01:13:13,750 --> 01:13:12,400 uh just broadly 2065 01:13:17,669 --> 01:13:13,760 and and i think 2066 01:13:22,709 --> 01:13:20,149 we really like this romantic notion that 2067 01:13:24,390 --> 01:13:22,719 there's there is one party that has all 2068 01:13:25,669 --> 01:13:24,400 of the right answers here and that can 2069 01:13:27,030 --> 01:13:25,679 just sort of 2070 01:13:29,590 --> 01:13:27,040 make it known 2071 01:13:32,390 --> 01:13:29,600 but the the reality seems to be that it 2072 01:13:34,470 --> 01:13:32,400 is very much a collective 2073 01:13:36,870 --> 01:13:34,480 it will be a collective disclosure it 2074 01:13:39,110 --> 01:13:36,880 will be a collective unfolding 2075 01:13:40,550 --> 01:13:39,120 that there are the very highly personal 2076 01:13:43,350 --> 01:13:40,560 elements of this 2077 01:13:45,510 --> 01:13:43,360 there are the uh community elements the 2078 01:13:47,590 --> 01:13:45,520 global elements and the geopolitical 2079 01:13:49,430 --> 01:13:47,600 elements i mean you know sort of 2080 01:13:51,030 --> 01:13:49,440 you know jokingly i can talk about well 2081 01:13:52,470 --> 01:13:51,040 we get disclosure tomorrow and think of 2082 01:13:53,750 --> 01:13:52,480 all the all the new bureaucracy we're 2083 01:13:56,310 --> 01:13:53,760 gonna have 2084 01:13:58,070 --> 01:13:56,320 you know i got to uh i gotta you know 2085 01:13:59,669 --> 01:13:58,080 file this paperwork to interact with 2086 01:14:02,470 --> 01:13:59,679 this being or you know whatever it may 2087 01:14:04,790 --> 01:14:02,480 be and you can take these things to a 2088 01:14:07,030 --> 01:14:04,800 crazy conclusion 2089 01:14:09,189 --> 01:14:07,040 but uh but but 2090 01:14:11,270 --> 01:14:09,199 nevertheless we were talking about 2091 01:14:13,669 --> 01:14:11,280 increased levels of complexity 2092 01:14:15,270 --> 01:14:13,679 complexity in our understanding of of of 2093 01:14:17,830 --> 01:14:15,280 reality itself 2094 01:14:19,110 --> 01:14:17,840 and that not only affects the here and 2095 01:14:21,189 --> 01:14:19,120 now 2096 01:14:23,830 --> 01:14:21,199 it affects our future it affects our 2097 01:14:26,229 --> 01:14:23,840 future as a species on this planet it 2098 01:14:29,270 --> 01:14:26,239 affects our past how we interpret the 2099 01:14:31,830 --> 01:14:29,280 events of our lives and and what we may 2100 01:14:34,870 --> 01:14:31,840 have written off as something completely 2101 01:14:37,350 --> 01:14:34,880 mundane and prosaic uh you know that a 2102 01:14:39,910 --> 01:14:37,360 dream we had years ago and if that is 2103 01:14:41,990 --> 01:14:39,920 somehow part of what this really is well 2104 01:14:43,669 --> 01:14:42,000 now i have to i have to take that i have 2105 01:14:45,669 --> 01:14:43,679 to pull it out of that drawer and go 2106 01:14:47,350 --> 01:14:45,679 okay what does this now mean you know 2107 01:14:49,990 --> 01:14:47,360 what does this mean for me 2108 01:14:51,990 --> 01:14:50,000 in the here now and going forward 2109 01:14:54,630 --> 01:14:52,000 these are huge questions 2110 01:14:57,350 --> 01:14:54,640 and i don't think that folks 2111 01:14:58,709 --> 01:14:57,360 have necessarily grappled with 2112 01:15:03,510 --> 01:14:58,719 the 2113 01:15:07,030 --> 01:15:03,520 has tendrils that that reach into sort 2114 01:15:08,709 --> 01:15:07,040 of every single facet of our our psyche 2115 01:15:11,910 --> 01:15:08,719 and our society 2116 01:15:13,189 --> 01:15:11,920 uh you know it's it's it's as tectonic 2117 01:15:15,270 --> 01:15:13,199 as it gets 2118 01:15:16,149 --> 01:15:15,280 and i would hope 2119 01:15:18,550 --> 01:15:16,159 that 2120 01:15:19,669 --> 01:15:18,560 wherever we're going with this 2121 01:15:21,189 --> 01:15:19,679 that 2122 01:15:23,110 --> 01:15:21,199 the others 2123 01:15:25,510 --> 01:15:23,120 whoever they may be 2124 01:15:27,910 --> 01:15:25,520 you know i would lean on them 2125 01:15:29,030 --> 01:15:27,920 and i would do so hesitantly as well i 2126 01:15:31,350 --> 01:15:29,040 might add 2127 01:15:32,310 --> 01:15:31,360 to be a partner in helping us navigate 2128 01:15:33,270 --> 01:15:32,320 this 2129 01:15:34,790 --> 01:15:33,280 um 2130 01:15:36,310 --> 01:15:34,800 you know and i will say this on that 2131 01:15:37,669 --> 01:15:36,320 topic 2132 01:15:40,950 --> 01:15:37,679 you know i very much and i've said this 2133 01:15:43,830 --> 01:15:40,960 on other shows i i i have i struggle 2134 01:15:45,750 --> 01:15:43,840 with this notion of um 2135 01:15:48,709 --> 01:15:45,760 of asymmetric 2136 01:15:51,669 --> 01:15:48,719 uh you know sort of information here um 2137 01:15:52,550 --> 01:15:51,679 and and ability right so if the others 2138 01:15:58,870 --> 01:15:52,560 uh 2139 01:16:00,149 --> 01:15:58,880 reality or have obviously greater 2140 01:16:02,310 --> 01:16:00,159 knowledge of 2141 01:16:03,669 --> 01:16:02,320 of what we would consider to be science 2142 01:16:05,189 --> 01:16:03,679 or you know all these things there's an 2143 01:16:07,430 --> 01:16:05,199 information disparity i think we could 2144 01:16:09,990 --> 01:16:07,440 at least say that much 2145 01:16:11,270 --> 01:16:10,000 then whenever there is an interaction 2146 01:16:14,149 --> 01:16:11,280 with them 2147 01:16:16,790 --> 01:16:14,159 you know what is it that we can look to 2148 01:16:19,590 --> 01:16:16,800 as some sort of means of saying 2149 01:16:20,390 --> 01:16:19,600 okay i can trust whatever this is i can 2150 01:16:22,550 --> 01:16:20,400 have 2151 01:16:25,110 --> 01:16:22,560 you know i can whatever it's telling me 2152 01:16:29,189 --> 01:16:25,120 or explaining to me you know i can have 2153 01:16:30,790 --> 01:16:29,199 some degree of of trust and fidelity 2154 01:16:33,189 --> 01:16:30,800 that this is 2155 01:16:34,310 --> 01:16:33,199 this is good this is valuable 2156 01:16:35,990 --> 01:16:34,320 i don't know what i don't know the 2157 01:16:38,550 --> 01:16:36,000 answer to that you know i'm not quite 2158 01:16:39,990 --> 01:16:38,560 sure i understand how we would go about 2159 01:16:42,709 --> 01:16:40,000 figuring that out 2160 01:16:44,950 --> 01:16:42,719 um you know we'd like to think and we 2161 01:16:45,750 --> 01:16:44,960 you know a lot of our science fiction 2162 01:16:47,189 --> 01:16:45,760 uh 2163 01:16:49,030 --> 01:16:47,199 you know at least on the star trek side 2164 01:16:51,189 --> 01:16:49,040 for the most part 2165 01:16:53,510 --> 01:16:51,199 you know sort of talks about these you 2166 01:16:54,870 --> 01:16:53,520 know this this collective of lots of 2167 01:16:57,030 --> 01:16:54,880 different entities and they're kind of 2168 01:16:58,790 --> 01:16:57,040 working together i mean this is a very 2169 01:17:00,390 --> 01:16:58,800 you know the sense of cooperation is 2170 01:17:02,550 --> 01:17:00,400 very attractive so we'd like to kind of 2171 01:17:04,709 --> 01:17:02,560 hope that that's the way that it is 2172 01:17:06,790 --> 01:17:04,719 but i mean we have no idea we have no 2173 01:17:08,950 --> 01:17:06,800 idea that that's the way it will be and 2174 01:17:11,189 --> 01:17:08,960 so i you know i struggle with 2175 01:17:13,750 --> 01:17:11,199 not only the 2176 01:17:16,070 --> 01:17:13,760 uh the ways in which disclosure will 2177 01:17:17,830 --> 01:17:16,080 rewrite our personal stories but the way 2178 01:17:20,550 --> 01:17:17,840 in which we will 2179 01:17:22,870 --> 01:17:20,560 relate as a species just generally with 2180 01:17:24,950 --> 01:17:22,880 whatever this new reality becomes for 2181 01:17:26,950 --> 01:17:24,960 for us 2182 01:17:28,630 --> 01:17:26,960 yeah when you were describing 2183 01:17:30,709 --> 01:17:28,640 that process i was thinking about when 2184 01:17:33,669 --> 01:17:30,719 you use the expression tectonic it 2185 01:17:35,350 --> 01:17:33,679 absolutely is and i was reminded of a of 2186 01:17:37,110 --> 01:17:35,360 a video i remember seeing last year of 2187 01:17:39,110 --> 01:17:37,120 this these people were driving through 2188 01:17:41,350 --> 01:17:39,120 the forest 2189 01:17:43,669 --> 01:17:41,360 and there had been a lot of rain that 2190 01:17:46,229 --> 01:17:43,679 week this insane amount of rain and 2191 01:17:48,229 --> 01:17:46,239 suddenly one by one these massive you 2192 01:17:49,590 --> 01:17:48,239 know pine trees you know that were 2193 01:17:51,990 --> 01:17:49,600 soaring into the sky just started 2194 01:17:53,590 --> 01:17:52,000 falling one after another you know onto 2195 01:17:56,390 --> 01:17:53,600 the road and 2196 01:17:58,229 --> 01:17:56,400 and that's what i i would use that kind 2197 01:18:00,390 --> 01:17:58,239 of as an analogy for what this is like 2198 01:18:03,910 --> 01:18:00,400 these these aspects of reality and 2199 01:18:06,229 --> 01:18:03,920 society that we've trusted are solid and 2200 01:18:07,830 --> 01:18:06,239 pillars of you know trust kind of thing 2201 01:18:09,830 --> 01:18:07,840 that we just take for granted that this 2202 01:18:11,430 --> 01:18:09,840 is the way the world is 2203 01:18:12,630 --> 01:18:11,440 this is the way life works this is 2204 01:18:14,790 --> 01:18:12,640 reality 2205 01:18:17,110 --> 01:18:14,800 that if the implications suddenly make 2206 01:18:21,750 --> 01:18:17,120 those pillars start falling like those 2207 01:18:25,350 --> 01:18:23,590 is your view of disclosure the same like 2208 01:18:27,350 --> 01:18:25,360 i really want people to wrestle with 2209 01:18:30,149 --> 01:18:27,360 that you know um 2210 01:18:32,950 --> 01:18:30,159 just think about the the 2211 01:18:35,030 --> 01:18:32,960 the toll that would play you know like 2212 01:18:37,189 --> 01:18:35,040 what would that look like for people's 2213 01:18:38,790 --> 01:18:37,199 lives because if you if you care about 2214 01:18:40,709 --> 01:18:38,800 people and and 2215 01:18:43,750 --> 01:18:40,719 the challenge it already is for so many 2216 01:18:46,550 --> 01:18:43,760 people just to make it through the world 2217 01:18:48,709 --> 01:18:46,560 what would that added implication bring 2218 01:18:50,390 --> 01:18:48,719 you know a lot of people 2219 01:18:51,990 --> 01:18:50,400 kind of have this kind of love and light 2220 01:18:54,149 --> 01:18:52,000 perspective which i understand from one 2221 01:18:55,910 --> 01:18:54,159 point of view that this intelligence has 2222 01:18:57,590 --> 01:18:55,920 technology that could help us resolve 2223 01:18:59,430 --> 01:18:57,600 global warming that could get us off the 2224 01:19:01,910 --> 01:18:59,440 petroleum economy 2225 01:19:04,229 --> 01:19:01,920 um that could you know 2226 01:19:05,750 --> 01:19:04,239 give us better solutions than capitalism 2227 01:19:08,149 --> 01:19:05,760 you know 2228 01:19:09,990 --> 01:19:08,159 all these things that seem like really 2229 01:19:11,590 --> 01:19:10,000 pressing matters that it 2230 01:19:13,669 --> 01:19:11,600 it's frustrating to some people and some 2231 01:19:15,990 --> 01:19:13,679 people like you know shake their fists 2232 01:19:17,750 --> 01:19:16,000 at these others and say 2233 01:19:19,590 --> 01:19:17,760 look we need a hand here why don't you 2234 01:19:23,990 --> 01:19:19,600 step in now 2235 01:19:24,950 --> 01:19:24,000 but i think again you you have to ask 2236 01:19:27,110 --> 01:19:24,960 yourself 2237 01:19:29,430 --> 01:19:27,120 what might make them not step in right 2238 01:19:32,950 --> 01:19:29,440 now the way you're thinking like 2239 01:19:35,830 --> 01:19:32,960 don't assume you have all of the 2240 01:19:37,510 --> 01:19:35,840 necessary uh elements in mind to decide 2241 01:19:39,189 --> 01:19:37,520 whether or not that's a justifiable 2242 01:19:41,270 --> 01:19:39,199 action perhaps you don't and what might 2243 01:19:43,030 --> 01:19:41,280 those other ones look like 2244 01:19:45,910 --> 01:19:43,040 for me again i'm convinced that this is 2245 01:19:47,350 --> 01:19:45,920 a complete rewriting of reality 2246 01:19:49,030 --> 01:19:47,360 full stop 2247 01:19:52,149 --> 01:19:49,040 that i think 2248 01:19:54,149 --> 01:19:52,159 i'm not uh you know 2249 01:19:56,149 --> 01:19:54,159 naive about what it would mean if this 2250 01:19:57,510 --> 01:19:56,159 came out quickly uh in a sudden wait 2251 01:19:58,870 --> 01:19:57,520 would not be good 2252 01:20:00,310 --> 01:19:58,880 so 2253 01:20:01,430 --> 01:20:00,320 and then there's you know when you talk 2254 01:20:04,149 --> 01:20:01,440 about star trek and that kind of 2255 01:20:06,629 --> 01:20:04,159 cooperative kind of you know 2256 01:20:08,709 --> 01:20:06,639 inter-species kind of communication that 2257 01:20:10,790 --> 01:20:08,719 again assumes that we have the basic 2258 01:20:11,990 --> 01:20:10,800 construct of reality correct and it's 2259 01:20:14,950 --> 01:20:12,000 just some 2260 01:20:16,550 --> 01:20:14,960 some group that's maybe nicer kinder has 2261 01:20:18,629 --> 01:20:16,560 some cooler tech 2262 01:20:20,550 --> 01:20:18,639 that's all we think about but and that i 2263 01:20:22,470 --> 01:20:20,560 think is incredibly naive i think it's 2264 01:20:23,830 --> 01:20:22,480 much more complex even the the movie 2265 01:20:25,830 --> 01:20:23,840 arrival that we've talked about several 2266 01:20:26,790 --> 01:20:25,840 times now where they had to wrestle with 2267 01:20:28,629 --> 01:20:26,800 their 2268 01:20:29,990 --> 01:20:28,639 experience of reality and time was 2269 01:20:32,470 --> 01:20:30,000 completely different 2270 01:20:34,070 --> 01:20:32,480 i still don't think that even gets to 10 2271 01:20:36,229 --> 01:20:34,080 of what what's involved here based on 2272 01:20:37,669 --> 01:20:36,239 what i've researched so 2273 01:20:39,189 --> 01:20:37,679 uh 2274 01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:39,199 you know 2275 01:20:41,030 --> 01:20:39,770 again 2276 01:20:43,270 --> 01:20:41,040 [Music] 2277 01:20:45,189 --> 01:20:43,280 when you think about just how like you 2278 01:20:47,189 --> 01:20:45,199 said the tendrils go so deep these are 2279 01:20:48,229 --> 01:20:47,199 the roots of these massive pillars of 2280 01:20:51,350 --> 01:20:48,239 trees 2281 01:20:53,270 --> 01:20:51,360 that make up our civilization when those 2282 01:20:54,950 --> 01:20:53,280 are going to necessarily fall because of 2283 01:20:57,750 --> 01:20:54,960 these revelations it really makes you 2284 01:21:00,149 --> 01:20:57,760 think twice about how how this is done 2285 01:21:01,229 --> 01:21:00,159 and how you could do this in anything in 2286 01:21:04,070 --> 01:21:01,239 anything quicker than a 2287 01:21:05,110 --> 01:21:04,080 multi-generational kind of shift 2288 01:21:08,629 --> 01:21:05,120 so 2289 01:21:10,470 --> 01:21:08,639 think that the the others hanging back 2290 01:21:11,669 --> 01:21:10,480 looks like bad news to them that they 2291 01:21:13,669 --> 01:21:11,679 they have a hard time wrapping their 2292 01:21:15,830 --> 01:21:13,679 head around how that's a good thing i 2293 01:21:17,270 --> 01:21:15,840 can certainly certainly conceive of why 2294 01:21:20,550 --> 01:21:17,280 that would be 2295 01:21:21,750 --> 01:21:20,560 the loving responsible more mature 2296 01:21:23,350 --> 01:21:21,760 thing to do 2297 01:21:24,470 --> 01:21:23,360 again i want to make the disclaimer i 2298 01:21:26,470 --> 01:21:24,480 think there's numerous groups with 2299 01:21:28,390 --> 01:21:26,480 different origins and different agendas 2300 01:21:31,030 --> 01:21:28,400 different developmental levels 2301 01:21:31,990 --> 01:21:31,040 but i'm saying at least um as a notion i 2302 01:21:33,510 --> 01:21:32,000 can understand why that would be 2303 01:21:35,750 --> 01:21:33,520 justifiable 2304 01:21:37,430 --> 01:21:35,760 because absolutely going from the 2305 01:21:39,030 --> 01:21:37,440 personal into the more global and 2306 01:21:39,830 --> 01:21:39,040 geopolitical 2307 01:21:42,790 --> 01:21:39,840 uh 2308 01:21:44,229 --> 01:21:42,800 the the ramifications are immense and 2309 01:21:46,149 --> 01:21:44,239 and far-reaching 2310 01:21:47,990 --> 01:21:46,159 and um 2311 01:21:49,030 --> 01:21:48,000 you know as we've said before in the 2312 01:21:50,629 --> 01:21:49,040 show 2313 01:21:52,229 --> 01:21:50,639 there are different developmental levels 2314 01:21:54,550 --> 01:21:52,239 around the world and what this 2315 01:21:56,390 --> 01:21:54,560 revelation means even to like you said 2316 01:21:59,350 --> 01:21:56,400 even if disclosure came out tomorrow in 2317 01:22:01,350 --> 01:21:59,360 american culture one country 2318 01:22:03,270 --> 01:22:01,360 at one period of time 2319 01:22:05,189 --> 01:22:03,280 some people will be like that's fake 2320 01:22:06,870 --> 01:22:05,199 news you know like some people will just 2321 01:22:08,070 --> 01:22:06,880 say it's from the government so i don't 2322 01:22:11,990 --> 01:22:08,080 trust it what are they really trying to 2323 01:22:15,350 --> 01:22:13,590 so you have several developmental levels 2324 01:22:17,030 --> 01:22:15,360 even within our one country and then you 2325 01:22:18,070 --> 01:22:17,040 think about different countries around 2326 01:22:19,830 --> 01:22:18,080 the world 2327 01:22:21,510 --> 01:22:19,840 somewhere at the warlord level kind of 2328 01:22:22,390 --> 01:22:21,520 thing you know and 2329 01:22:23,189 --> 01:22:22,400 um 2330 01:22:25,189 --> 01:22:23,199 it's 2331 01:22:27,350 --> 01:22:25,199 incredibly complex to think about how 2332 01:22:29,669 --> 01:22:27,360 this would be handled and i think it's 2333 01:22:32,229 --> 01:22:29,679 naive to assume anything else 2334 01:22:34,470 --> 01:22:32,239 yeah agree and you know as we kind of 2335 01:22:36,870 --> 01:22:34,480 turn our attention toward the the end of 2336 01:22:39,110 --> 01:22:36,880 the episode i i i want to come back to 2337 01:22:41,830 --> 01:22:39,120 this too that i've talked on a touched 2338 01:22:43,910 --> 01:22:41,840 on before and that's that 2339 01:22:51,110 --> 01:22:43,920 you know regardless of what 2340 01:22:53,189 --> 01:22:51,120 additional truths we may learn 2341 01:22:55,990 --> 01:22:53,199 i'm reminded that 2342 01:22:57,590 --> 01:22:56,000 we we will still have the task of living 2343 01:22:58,709 --> 01:22:57,600 with ourselves you know we will still 2344 01:23:03,990 --> 01:22:58,719 have 2345 01:23:06,550 --> 01:23:04,000 own lives with our with with others who 2346 01:23:09,510 --> 01:23:06,560 are in in our orbit you know and 2347 01:23:12,149 --> 01:23:09,520 the importance of taking care of oneself 2348 01:23:15,110 --> 01:23:12,159 generally and i think there's um there's 2349 01:23:17,830 --> 01:23:15,120 a tendency that i see in some circles 2350 01:23:21,590 --> 01:23:17,840 to kind of place 2351 01:23:23,990 --> 01:23:21,600 a lot of one's hopes uh and fears and 2352 01:23:25,830 --> 01:23:24,000 and promise you know on disclosure with 2353 01:23:26,870 --> 01:23:25,840 a capital d that this will be some kind 2354 01:23:31,030 --> 01:23:26,880 of 2355 01:23:33,189 --> 01:23:31,040 be this like there'll be essentially 2356 01:23:34,870 --> 01:23:33,199 this salvation that takes place that my 2357 01:23:36,950 --> 01:23:34,880 problems will be solved 2358 01:23:38,550 --> 01:23:36,960 and i would challenge people 2359 01:23:40,870 --> 01:23:38,560 who who may come at it from that 2360 01:23:43,430 --> 01:23:40,880 perspective to 2361 01:23:45,990 --> 01:23:43,440 to not delay 2362 01:23:48,390 --> 01:23:46,000 the work that you need to do now do not 2363 01:23:50,070 --> 01:23:48,400 put it off to tomorrow 2364 01:23:52,149 --> 01:23:50,080 and that's as much a message for me as 2365 01:23:54,870 --> 01:23:52,159 anyone you know that we all have things 2366 01:23:56,790 --> 01:23:54,880 in our daily lives that we have to 2367 01:23:58,470 --> 01:23:56,800 uh work on 2368 01:24:00,790 --> 01:23:58,480 and i can't answer what those are for 2369 01:24:03,750 --> 01:24:00,800 anyone you know we have to come face to 2370 01:24:04,629 --> 01:24:03,760 face with those aspects of ourselves 2371 01:24:09,669 --> 01:24:04,639 that 2372 01:24:11,990 --> 01:24:09,679 and put in the work to getting there 2373 01:24:14,149 --> 01:24:12,000 because regardless of what happens 2374 01:24:15,510 --> 01:24:14,159 you know i still gotta i still gotta fix 2375 01:24:17,669 --> 01:24:15,520 that and i was wondering you know kind 2376 01:24:19,910 --> 01:24:17,679 of how you think about that 2377 01:24:22,629 --> 01:24:19,920 obviously we've already touched on the 2378 01:24:27,189 --> 01:24:24,470 the revelation of truths no matter what 2379 01:24:29,350 --> 01:24:27,199 they may be have a destabilizing effect 2380 01:24:32,149 --> 01:24:29,360 and will have a destabilizing effect on 2381 01:24:34,070 --> 01:24:32,159 us but what are some things that you you 2382 01:24:35,110 --> 01:24:34,080 know personally would would suggest or 2383 01:24:38,149 --> 01:24:35,120 recommend 2384 01:24:40,470 --> 01:24:38,159 that uh are things we could do right now 2385 01:24:43,270 --> 01:24:40,480 uh no matter how long this process may 2386 01:24:45,910 --> 01:24:43,280 take that we would all be better served 2387 01:24:47,510 --> 01:24:45,920 to to observe 2388 01:24:49,270 --> 01:24:47,520 well i think you know 2389 01:24:51,910 --> 01:24:49,280 one thing that um 2390 01:24:53,430 --> 01:24:51,920 i'd encourage people to do and i'm 2391 01:24:55,110 --> 01:24:53,440 thankful that we get a chance to be a 2392 01:24:56,629 --> 01:24:55,120 part of this and 2393 01:24:58,950 --> 01:24:56,639 the work i've done with point of 2394 01:25:01,510 --> 01:24:58,960 convergence uh has been part of this too 2395 01:25:03,830 --> 01:25:01,520 and it's been very gratifying to see how 2396 01:25:05,590 --> 01:25:03,840 just giving voice to these experiences 2397 01:25:07,830 --> 01:25:05,600 to these events and saying yes they're 2398 01:25:09,430 --> 01:25:07,840 real you know they're this is somehow 2399 01:25:10,310 --> 01:25:09,440 part of the big picture of what it means 2400 01:25:12,709 --> 01:25:10,320 to 2401 01:25:15,830 --> 01:25:12,719 experience reality 2402 01:25:20,070 --> 01:25:17,830 it's been gratifying to see how 2403 01:25:22,950 --> 01:25:20,080 that feels like people 2404 01:25:24,709 --> 01:25:22,960 are told your experience is real you're 2405 01:25:27,350 --> 01:25:24,719 not lying you're not making it up you're 2406 01:25:29,270 --> 01:25:27,360 not unstable 2407 01:25:30,629 --> 01:25:29,280 there really are anomalous events to 2408 01:25:35,430 --> 01:25:30,639 happen 2409 01:25:37,350 --> 01:25:35,440 we've had different ways of framing it 2410 01:25:39,350 --> 01:25:37,360 but they continue to happen 2411 01:25:42,629 --> 01:25:39,360 in some cultures and at some periods of 2412 01:25:44,470 --> 01:25:42,639 time you're more rejected and 2413 01:25:46,390 --> 01:25:44,480 you know ostracized than others for 2414 01:25:47,189 --> 01:25:46,400 having those experiences just for having 2415 01:25:48,070 --> 01:25:47,199 them 2416 01:25:50,070 --> 01:25:48,080 but 2417 01:25:51,830 --> 01:25:50,080 we're here to support those people we 2418 01:25:53,350 --> 01:25:51,840 really hope that 2419 01:25:56,790 --> 01:25:53,360 liminal frames 2420 01:25:58,629 --> 01:25:56,800 can be as well as your show with cab and 2421 01:26:00,390 --> 01:25:58,639 with point of convergence we hope these 2422 01:26:02,229 --> 01:26:00,400 can all be places where you feel like 2423 01:26:05,430 --> 01:26:02,239 you're a part of a community 2424 01:26:06,709 --> 01:26:05,440 that accepts you that believes you 2425 01:26:08,470 --> 01:26:06,719 that 2426 01:26:10,229 --> 01:26:08,480 is right alongside you trying to make 2427 01:26:11,830 --> 01:26:10,239 sense of all this i would say that for 2428 01:26:13,350 --> 01:26:11,840 sure um 2429 01:26:15,430 --> 01:26:13,360 if you if you're surrounded by people 2430 01:26:17,750 --> 01:26:15,440 who want to uh 2431 01:26:20,070 --> 01:26:17,760 make fun of you and belittle you for 2432 01:26:21,830 --> 01:26:20,080 your experience we we encourage you to 2433 01:26:24,310 --> 01:26:21,840 reach out to us reach out to other 2434 01:26:25,990 --> 01:26:24,320 people uh and find community that can 2435 01:26:28,070 --> 01:26:26,000 support you because that's essential for 2436 01:26:30,709 --> 01:26:28,080 anyone going through this stuff 2437 01:26:36,790 --> 01:26:33,510 i would also say that as much as uh i 2438 01:26:39,350 --> 01:26:36,800 think the the implications are tectonic 2439 01:26:41,590 --> 01:26:39,360 um to our very fabric of reality i 2440 01:26:43,430 --> 01:26:41,600 personally uh i'm not overwhelmed by 2441 01:26:44,709 --> 01:26:43,440 that i think it's important to point out 2442 01:26:47,910 --> 01:26:44,719 i think some people might come away 2443 01:26:50,629 --> 01:26:47,920 going wow you know this sounds like 2444 01:26:51,830 --> 01:26:50,639 uh it's gonna tear apart you know 2445 01:26:53,510 --> 01:26:51,840 everything you know like the 2446 01:26:54,709 --> 01:26:53,520 implications go that deep and that's not 2447 01:26:58,149 --> 01:26:54,719 what i'm saying 2448 01:27:00,709 --> 01:26:58,159 um i think that there are ways to 2449 01:27:03,430 --> 01:27:00,719 conceive of this the implications but 2450 01:27:05,750 --> 01:27:03,440 still have a positive outlook um and i 2451 01:27:09,350 --> 01:27:05,760 do so i want to encourage people with 2452 01:27:11,590 --> 01:27:09,360 that too that it's it's um 2453 01:27:13,510 --> 01:27:11,600 while i think it's much too simplistic 2454 01:27:14,229 --> 01:27:13,520 to say it's all love and light or it's 2455 01:27:15,430 --> 01:27:14,239 all 2456 01:27:18,390 --> 01:27:15,440 demons 2457 01:27:20,550 --> 01:27:18,400 um i think it's a complex picture but we 2458 01:27:21,750 --> 01:27:20,560 still are part of a 2459 01:27:23,910 --> 01:27:21,760 interconnected 2460 01:27:25,910 --> 01:27:23,920 fabric of reality where everything 2461 01:27:26,790 --> 01:27:25,920 ultimately is connected even these 2462 01:27:29,110 --> 01:27:26,800 others 2463 01:27:31,669 --> 01:27:29,120 in the different sources they come from 2464 01:27:35,030 --> 01:27:31,679 and and i use that as a rubric to sort 2465 01:27:36,550 --> 01:27:35,040 of make sense of what's going on as well 2466 01:27:38,470 --> 01:27:36,560 they have some of their own evolution 2467 01:27:40,709 --> 01:27:38,480 they're going through just like we do so 2468 01:27:43,270 --> 01:27:40,719 to bring it back to what you said yes we 2469 01:27:46,149 --> 01:27:43,280 still need to do our work as individuals 2470 01:27:47,990 --> 01:27:46,159 as families as communities 2471 01:27:49,750 --> 01:27:48,000 and as a civilization we need to still 2472 01:27:51,830 --> 01:27:49,760 keep moving forward the 2473 01:27:53,669 --> 01:27:51,840 the what's on our table in terms of the 2474 01:27:56,470 --> 01:27:53,679 the issues we're trying to deal with the 2475 01:27:58,229 --> 01:27:56,480 um the growth we're trying to arrive at 2476 01:28:01,669 --> 01:27:58,239 all that's just as important whether 2477 01:28:03,110 --> 01:28:01,679 disclosure happens tomorrow or not 2478 01:28:05,590 --> 01:28:03,120 i couldn't agree more and it's 2479 01:28:07,910 --> 01:28:05,600 incredibly affirming and and 2480 01:28:09,510 --> 01:28:07,920 uh and i would echo what you said um i 2481 01:28:12,070 --> 01:28:09,520 think that the 2482 01:28:15,510 --> 01:28:12,080 uh i'm hopeful that the ultimate truth 2483 01:28:17,510 --> 01:28:15,520 here will really will feel affirming for
