1 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:05,250 [Music] 2 00:00:13,030 --> 00:00:06,930 [Laughter] 3 00:00:18,490 --> 00:00:14,420 thank you 4 00:00:23,750 --> 00:00:21,050 welcome back to another episode of 5 00:00:25,609 --> 00:00:23,760 liminal frames I'm your host Nathan 6 00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:25,619 joined by my friend and co-host Darren 7 00:00:30,349 --> 00:00:28,560 King EXO academian Darren it's always 8 00:00:31,790 --> 00:00:30,359 great to see you hope you're doing well 9 00:00:33,530 --> 00:00:31,800 how's it going 10 00:00:34,729 --> 00:00:33,540 it's going well my friend I was going to 11 00:00:36,590 --> 00:00:34,739 say yeah you can start saying my last 12 00:00:37,549 --> 00:00:36,600 name now that's fine so you read my mind 13 00:00:40,190 --> 00:00:37,559 there 14 00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:40,200 doing well we both noted that it's been 15 00:00:44,990 --> 00:00:42,719 crazy windy here in uh Western North 16 00:00:46,549 --> 00:00:45,000 Carolina which we the last time I 17 00:00:48,110 --> 00:00:46,559 touched on our allergies they're only 18 00:00:50,389 --> 00:00:48,120 you know increased since then I think 19 00:00:51,709 --> 00:00:50,399 they're getting close to peak level but 20 00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:51,719 uh we'll make it through this episode 21 00:00:57,410 --> 00:00:54,480 I'm doing well how are you my friend I'm 22 00:00:59,689 --> 00:00:57,420 good yeah it uh if I had been in the 23 00:01:02,150 --> 00:00:59,699 kite flying or kite selling business I 24 00:01:04,910 --> 00:01:02,160 would have been having a great week here 25 00:01:07,730 --> 00:01:04,920 because it has been in great just crazy 26 00:01:09,890 --> 00:01:07,740 windy uh you know if I were Mary Poppins 27 00:01:12,590 --> 00:01:09,900 I could have opened the umbrella and 28 00:01:14,149 --> 00:01:12,600 landed on the other other continents so 29 00:01:16,250 --> 00:01:14,159 it's uh it's been a little bit wild a 30 00:01:18,170 --> 00:01:16,260 little freaky even almost With the Wind 31 00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:18,180 being as intense as it has as it has 32 00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:21,360 been we've lost power a few times so uh 33 00:01:25,730 --> 00:01:23,460 kind of kind of crazy but always great 34 00:01:29,510 --> 00:01:25,740 to be here chatting with you and in fact 35 00:01:31,969 --> 00:01:29,520 uh I think this is episode 30 uh which 36 00:01:34,850 --> 00:01:31,979 is I mean just crazy we were just 37 00:01:37,969 --> 00:01:34,860 talking a second ago about how we met uh 38 00:01:42,109 --> 00:01:37,979 in the fall of uh 2021 hit it off and 39 00:01:47,390 --> 00:01:42,119 started the show in early 2022 uh man A 40 00:01:49,789 --> 00:01:47,400 lot has changed in that time uh wow and 41 00:01:51,710 --> 00:01:49,799 more is coming more is coming and more 42 00:01:53,450 --> 00:01:51,720 is coming indeed I would say that um 43 00:01:55,370 --> 00:01:53,460 without getting into details I'd say 44 00:01:58,010 --> 00:01:55,380 that the the windiness and I you know 45 00:01:59,149 --> 00:01:58,020 almost like a storm brewing there you 46 00:02:01,130 --> 00:01:59,159 know there are things coming down the 47 00:02:03,469 --> 00:02:01,140 pipe that I think are civilizations 48 00:02:05,270 --> 00:02:03,479 going to have to reckon with so yeah 49 00:02:08,210 --> 00:02:05,280 it's like the weather portends something 50 00:02:11,390 --> 00:02:08,220 that is coming down the pipe indeed um 51 00:02:12,650 --> 00:02:11,400 yes ominous indeed uh well it's gonna be 52 00:02:14,930 --> 00:02:12,660 a fun show tonight we're gonna talk 53 00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:14,940 about something that we've not spent a 54 00:02:20,270 --> 00:02:16,800 whole show on thus far 55 00:02:23,390 --> 00:02:20,280 but I think is really intriguing uh has 56 00:02:25,550 --> 00:02:23,400 a lot of implications and quite frankly 57 00:02:29,330 --> 00:02:25,560 isn't talked about as much in the 58 00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:29,340 broader ufological Community uh and and 59 00:02:32,750 --> 00:02:30,480 I think we'll delve into some of the 60 00:02:35,690 --> 00:02:32,760 reasons why that may be the case as well 61 00:02:39,410 --> 00:02:35,700 and that's uh dealing with this extra 62 00:02:41,990 --> 00:02:39,420 tempestral hypothesis and so I wanted 63 00:02:43,790 --> 00:02:42,000 you to kind of set us off here set the 64 00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:43,800 stage what does it mean what is the 65 00:02:50,089 --> 00:02:45,840 Extraterrestrial hypothesis who is 66 00:02:52,729 --> 00:02:50,099 putting that forward unpack it for us 67 00:02:55,490 --> 00:02:52,739 so that particular term applied to this 68 00:02:57,290 --> 00:02:55,500 notion is from Michael Masters 69 00:02:58,309 --> 00:02:57,300 he's written several books now he's 70 00:02:59,570 --> 00:02:58,319 written two books that have been 71 00:03:01,369 --> 00:02:59,580 published and the third one is coming 72 00:03:03,250 --> 00:03:01,379 and he's a friend of mine and I've 73 00:03:06,170 --> 00:03:03,260 talked to him about this hypothesis and 74 00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:06,180 we've had some great conversations 75 00:03:12,050 --> 00:03:09,360 he's done a great job really 76 00:03:14,930 --> 00:03:12,060 speaking to the legitimacy of this 77 00:03:17,210 --> 00:03:14,940 hypothesis to explain much of the UFO 78 00:03:19,430 --> 00:03:17,220 phenomenon and to the point that you 79 00:03:22,190 --> 00:03:19,440 raised there when we think about 80 00:03:23,930 --> 00:03:22,200 you know Kirkpatrick saying there's no 81 00:03:26,210 --> 00:03:23,940 credible evidence for extraterrestrial 82 00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:26,220 technology and whatnot right there is no 83 00:03:29,089 --> 00:03:27,599 mention of the other possibilities we 84 00:03:30,830 --> 00:03:29,099 said that right like the the 85 00:03:33,229 --> 00:03:30,840 ultra-terrestrial the crypto terrestrial 86 00:03:35,690 --> 00:03:33,239 the inter-dimensional and perhaps the 87 00:03:38,210 --> 00:03:35,700 the least um of a leap in terms of what 88 00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:38,220 what would in entail this being the case 89 00:03:44,509 --> 00:03:41,760 is the extra tempestral hypothesis now 90 00:03:47,149 --> 00:03:44,519 that's a term that Mike came up with he 91 00:03:51,170 --> 00:03:47,159 sort of just replaced a terrestrial part 92 00:03:53,509 --> 00:03:51,180 with tempestral so the extra aspect 93 00:03:54,589 --> 00:03:53,519 would be in time not space in terms of 94 00:03:57,110 --> 00:03:54,599 the focus 95 00:03:58,670 --> 00:03:57,120 but as we get into tonight that doesn't 96 00:04:00,649 --> 00:03:58,680 preclude the possibility that they're 97 00:04:02,690 --> 00:04:00,659 also extraterrestrial 98 00:04:04,670 --> 00:04:02,700 but this notion of a future human 99 00:04:07,369 --> 00:04:04,680 hypothesis and the notion that some of 100 00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:07,379 these apparent spacecraft might be 101 00:04:12,350 --> 00:04:10,080 better described as time travel vehicles 102 00:04:14,690 --> 00:04:12,360 goes back well before Mike actually and 103 00:04:16,189 --> 00:04:14,700 in his book the extra-termestral model 104 00:04:18,650 --> 00:04:16,199 which is the second book which I highly 105 00:04:20,270 --> 00:04:18,660 recommend people read he gets into just 106 00:04:22,370 --> 00:04:20,280 how far back this goes and how many 107 00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:22,380 people have talked about this as a 108 00:04:26,930 --> 00:04:23,520 possibility 109 00:04:28,670 --> 00:04:26,940 and we have often quoted Jacques valet 110 00:04:30,469 --> 00:04:28,680 here when he says the one thing the UFO 111 00:04:32,090 --> 00:04:30,479 phenomenon teaches us is that we do not 112 00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:32,100 understand space-time 113 00:04:37,129 --> 00:04:35,040 so that being the case a manipulation of 114 00:04:38,749 --> 00:04:37,139 space-time altogether definitely seems 115 00:04:40,969 --> 00:04:38,759 to be in play here we see elements of 116 00:04:42,650 --> 00:04:40,979 this right so this is the notion we'll 117 00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:42,660 get into I'm going to read some quotes 118 00:04:45,890 --> 00:04:44,160 from this book we're going to talk about 119 00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:45,900 some of the different implications of 120 00:04:48,350 --> 00:04:46,800 this 121 00:04:50,030 --> 00:04:48,360 definitely look at some of the evidence 122 00:04:51,530 --> 00:04:50,040 for this being the case 123 00:04:53,570 --> 00:04:51,540 but what's compelling about this 124 00:04:57,230 --> 00:04:53,580 argument is that 125 00:05:00,350 --> 00:04:57,240 again Mike Masters is an evolutionary 126 00:05:02,990 --> 00:05:00,360 biologist right someone who specializes 127 00:05:05,930 --> 00:05:03,000 in this who did their PHD in this has a 128 00:05:08,570 --> 00:05:05,940 specialty in the hominin line knows very 129 00:05:11,450 --> 00:05:08,580 specifically about the trajectory of 130 00:05:13,129 --> 00:05:11,460 evolution can look at the history from 131 00:05:15,170 --> 00:05:13,139 the chimpanzees up to us kind of thing 132 00:05:16,189 --> 00:05:15,180 and the ancestors that predated both of 133 00:05:18,050 --> 00:05:16,199 those 134 00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:18,060 and as he made the point in his first 135 00:05:22,610 --> 00:05:20,880 book when he first saw the front cover 136 00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:22,620 of communion Whitley struber's communion 137 00:05:26,330 --> 00:05:24,240 which was this like groundbreaking book 138 00:05:29,210 --> 00:05:26,340 when it came out 139 00:05:31,969 --> 00:05:29,220 he saw what looked to be like a form 140 00:05:33,770 --> 00:05:31,979 that if you lined up three photos you'd 141 00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:33,780 have a chimpanzee you'd have a modern 142 00:05:37,550 --> 00:05:35,520 human being and you'd have a 143 00:05:41,689 --> 00:05:37,560 quote-unquote gray alien and those three 144 00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:41,699 to him looked like three ancestors like 145 00:05:45,050 --> 00:05:42,960 three 146 00:05:46,850 --> 00:05:45,060 um forms that were part of a single 147 00:05:48,590 --> 00:05:46,860 lineage that's what he actually saw when 148 00:05:51,050 --> 00:05:48,600 he looked at it so that's we're going to 149 00:05:53,210 --> 00:05:51,060 get into is this notion that 150 00:05:54,650 --> 00:05:53,220 some of the gray aliens anyway and some 151 00:05:56,210 --> 00:05:54,660 of the others as well because there's 152 00:05:58,730 --> 00:05:56,220 there's different ones that seem to have 153 00:06:00,650 --> 00:05:58,740 a connection to Earth forms that these 154 00:06:04,010 --> 00:06:00,660 various others at least some of them may 155 00:06:10,430 --> 00:06:07,969 it's a lot to deal with right uh I 156 00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:10,440 I mean I'm fascinated by this hypothesis 157 00:06:15,290 --> 00:06:13,199 I'm also I have some mixed emotions 158 00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:15,300 about it because and I think some people 159 00:06:23,150 --> 00:06:19,440 do as well because it uh in some ways 160 00:06:25,730 --> 00:06:23,160 it's a little less thrilling uh if 161 00:06:27,650 --> 00:06:25,740 they're just us from the future then it 162 00:06:30,409 --> 00:06:27,660 would be to say they came from another 163 00:06:33,890 --> 00:06:30,419 star system another galaxy Another 164 00:06:37,490 --> 00:06:33,900 Universe other dimension uh or that they 165 00:06:40,969 --> 00:06:37,500 were somehow like a separate lineage or 166 00:06:43,010 --> 00:06:40,979 species of of us on our planet that we 167 00:06:44,689 --> 00:06:43,020 just haven't interacted with for a very 168 00:06:46,790 --> 00:06:44,699 long time 169 00:06:50,650 --> 00:06:46,800 um so it's it feels almost a little less 170 00:06:52,490 --> 00:06:50,660 glamorous which is a strange way of 171 00:06:53,930 --> 00:06:52,500 critiquing it it's not really a critique 172 00:06:55,730 --> 00:06:53,940 at all it's just almost like a visceral 173 00:06:58,010 --> 00:06:55,740 reaction to it 174 00:06:59,689 --> 00:06:58,020 um and the other thing that comes to my 175 00:07:03,170 --> 00:06:59,699 mind when I think about this one is just 176 00:07:04,790 --> 00:07:03,180 the uh what went wrong you know are they 177 00:07:07,129 --> 00:07:04,800 are they or did anything go go wrong 178 00:07:08,930 --> 00:07:07,139 here so we've heard uh folks mention 179 00:07:10,790 --> 00:07:08,940 folks like Russ cultart who have 180 00:07:13,370 --> 00:07:10,800 mentioned that uh there might be two 181 00:07:15,710 --> 00:07:13,380 factions here uh kind of competing over 182 00:07:18,409 --> 00:07:15,720 the trajectory that we are currently on 183 00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:18,419 some in favor of our trajectory and 184 00:07:24,170 --> 00:07:21,360 helping us continue to move forward and 185 00:07:26,029 --> 00:07:24,180 some that aren't in favor of humanity 186 00:07:28,189 --> 00:07:26,039 the human experiment right now kind of 187 00:07:31,370 --> 00:07:28,199 wanting to shut it down uh but the 188 00:07:32,570 --> 00:07:31,380 elements of both that might be from the 189 00:07:34,370 --> 00:07:32,580 future 190 00:07:36,230 --> 00:07:34,380 um and so that that's quite ominous 191 00:07:38,089 --> 00:07:36,240 right it's like well what it Where Do We 192 00:07:40,129 --> 00:07:38,099 Go Wrong uh otherwise I'm saying that 193 00:07:41,270 --> 00:07:40,139 out loud I'm chuckling because you're 194 00:07:43,610 --> 00:07:41,280 just looking out the window and there's 195 00:07:46,790 --> 00:07:43,620 a lot of things a lot of areas where 196 00:07:49,370 --> 00:07:46,800 we're going wrong right now and so it uh 197 00:07:51,710 --> 00:07:49,380 you know maybe it's causing some sense 198 00:07:54,469 --> 00:07:51,720 of self-reflection where we are as a 199 00:07:57,650 --> 00:07:54,479 society as a people 200 00:08:01,010 --> 00:07:57,660 um that if if we somehow make it past 201 00:08:03,010 --> 00:08:01,020 these many calamitous issues that are 202 00:08:06,650 --> 00:08:03,020 swirling around our culture right now 203 00:08:08,330 --> 00:08:06,660 and develop this type of Technology 204 00:08:11,570 --> 00:08:08,340 you know what kinds of opportunities 205 00:08:13,490 --> 00:08:11,580 that open up for us to either write some 206 00:08:16,730 --> 00:08:13,500 of the wrong turns that we may have made 207 00:08:19,850 --> 00:08:16,740 in the past uh or even just more mundane 208 00:08:22,610 --> 00:08:19,860 things like travel back in time to do 209 00:08:24,230 --> 00:08:22,620 you know history experiments or observe 210 00:08:26,210 --> 00:08:24,240 the dinosaurs or whatever it may be 211 00:08:28,309 --> 00:08:26,220 something more mundane there's just a 212 00:08:30,650 --> 00:08:28,319 lot of different possibilities here and 213 00:08:32,510 --> 00:08:30,660 we haven't even yet touched on the 214 00:08:35,570 --> 00:08:32,520 interactions that these visitors are 215 00:08:37,550 --> 00:08:35,580 having or reported to of having with you 216 00:08:39,469 --> 00:08:37,560 know current day humans and and the 217 00:08:41,029 --> 00:08:39,479 nature of those interactions abductions 218 00:08:43,550 --> 00:08:41,039 Etc 219 00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:43,560 indeed it really is a mind-bending 220 00:08:47,630 --> 00:08:45,360 notion but when you really wrap your 221 00:08:50,090 --> 00:08:47,640 head around it it has a lot of 222 00:08:51,470 --> 00:08:50,100 compelling elements to it because and 223 00:08:53,630 --> 00:08:51,480 we'll get into those tonight we'll get 224 00:08:56,210 --> 00:08:53,640 into why this might be the most 225 00:08:59,030 --> 00:08:56,220 parsimonious argument in the sense of uh 226 00:09:00,710 --> 00:08:59,040 involves the fewest number of leaps to 227 00:09:03,290 --> 00:09:00,720 get there I just want to remind people 228 00:09:05,210 --> 00:09:03,300 of what that means so parsimony simply 229 00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:05,220 means that when conducting a scientific 230 00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:07,680 experiment you always choose the most 231 00:09:12,889 --> 00:09:10,560 simple explanation available right and 232 00:09:14,690 --> 00:09:12,899 this is related to Occam's razor 233 00:09:17,690 --> 00:09:14,700 which is a principle of theory 234 00:09:20,410 --> 00:09:17,700 construction or evaluation According to 235 00:09:23,110 --> 00:09:20,420 which among other things being equal 236 00:09:26,030 --> 00:09:23,120 explanations that posit fewer entities 237 00:09:28,430 --> 00:09:26,040 or fewer kinds of entities are to be 238 00:09:29,889 --> 00:09:28,440 preferred to explanations that posit 239 00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:29,899 more 240 00:09:34,430 --> 00:09:32,480 so this is very interesting here because 241 00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:34,440 this is one of the most compelling 242 00:09:38,750 --> 00:09:36,480 elements of his argument is that we know 243 00:09:40,130 --> 00:09:38,760 we exist Nathan and Darren are having 244 00:09:41,570 --> 00:09:40,140 this conversation because we exist 245 00:09:44,329 --> 00:09:41,580 presumably 246 00:09:46,070 --> 00:09:44,339 so we know that 247 00:09:47,690 --> 00:09:46,080 and according to Modern physics there's 248 00:09:49,070 --> 00:09:47,700 not really any reason to believe that 249 00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:49,080 time travel is not possible 250 00:09:52,610 --> 00:09:50,640 theoretically 251 00:09:54,949 --> 00:09:52,620 and that being the case when you look at 252 00:09:56,690 --> 00:09:54,959 even how much we've leapfrogged 253 00:09:58,430 --> 00:09:56,700 ourselves in terms of 254 00:10:01,670 --> 00:09:58,440 technological development in this 255 00:10:04,730 --> 00:10:01,680 Century or the last 100 years or so 256 00:10:06,130 --> 00:10:04,740 then it seems almost a guarantee that we 257 00:10:08,750 --> 00:10:06,140 will at some point develop time travel 258 00:10:10,070 --> 00:10:08,760 and based on our history 259 00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:10,080 how many times have we developed a 260 00:10:12,829 --> 00:10:11,760 technology and said you know what I 261 00:10:13,570 --> 00:10:12,839 think we should just leave this one 262 00:10:16,250 --> 00:10:13,580 alone 263 00:10:16,990 --> 00:10:16,260 I'm pretty sure we're batting zero on 264 00:10:19,670 --> 00:10:17,000 that 265 00:10:21,829 --> 00:10:19,680 so in other words once we can we will 266 00:10:23,630 --> 00:10:21,839 and 267 00:10:25,850 --> 00:10:23,640 we're going to talk a bit tonight about 268 00:10:27,710 --> 00:10:25,860 really the mind-bending implications of 269 00:10:30,050 --> 00:10:27,720 this because once time travel becomes a 270 00:10:32,449 --> 00:10:30,060 possibility then of course history 271 00:10:35,389 --> 00:10:32,459 becomes potentially riddled with 272 00:10:37,070 --> 00:10:35,399 rewrites right and that this can this 273 00:10:39,710 --> 00:10:37,080 can happen ongoingly 274 00:10:41,690 --> 00:10:39,720 and the people in this courage stream of 275 00:10:43,790 --> 00:10:41,700 the present wouldn't necessarily have 276 00:10:45,949 --> 00:10:43,800 any kind of sense of this other than 277 00:10:47,150 --> 00:10:45,959 sometimes people talk about having this 278 00:10:48,530 --> 00:10:47,160 strange effect where they could have 279 00:10:50,569 --> 00:10:48,540 sworn something was different when they 280 00:10:52,430 --> 00:10:50,579 were younger than the historical record 281 00:10:54,650 --> 00:10:52,440 seems to suggest now right that's 282 00:10:56,870 --> 00:10:54,660 something we get into as well 283 00:10:58,850 --> 00:10:56,880 but when you think about what I just 284 00:11:01,250 --> 00:10:58,860 said about parsimony and Occam's razor 285 00:11:03,889 --> 00:11:01,260 and you think about 286 00:11:05,630 --> 00:11:03,899 this scientific preference for 287 00:11:08,210 --> 00:11:05,640 looking at the most simple explanation 288 00:11:10,490 --> 00:11:08,220 rather than positing more elaborate ones 289 00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:10,500 how does this line up for you compared 290 00:11:14,990 --> 00:11:12,240 to say the interdimensional or the 291 00:11:16,790 --> 00:11:15,000 Extraterrestrial hypothesis 292 00:11:19,250 --> 00:11:16,800 I mean 293 00:11:23,569 --> 00:11:19,260 it's comforting in a way because it does 294 00:11:26,990 --> 00:11:23,579 I appreciate the Simplicity uh as you 295 00:11:28,970 --> 00:11:27,000 said because we already exist uh this 296 00:11:33,370 --> 00:11:28,980 isn't a further a much further leap than 297 00:11:36,590 --> 00:11:33,380 that and to posit that there are 298 00:11:40,009 --> 00:11:36,600 interdimensionals and visitors from 299 00:11:42,110 --> 00:11:40,019 other you know star systems etc etc it 300 00:11:44,810 --> 00:11:42,120 just continues to sort of ADD 301 00:11:46,150 --> 00:11:44,820 layers in to the onion that may not be 302 00:11:49,910 --> 00:11:46,160 necessary 303 00:11:53,150 --> 00:11:49,920 we're already as well kind of on this 304 00:11:56,030 --> 00:11:53,160 technological trajectory where it's not 305 00:11:58,910 --> 00:11:56,040 too hard to imagine that we we could 306 00:12:01,130 --> 00:11:58,920 achieve this capability as you said our 307 00:12:03,710 --> 00:12:01,140 physics has already noted that there's 308 00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:03,720 not necessarily A Hard obstacle to 309 00:12:09,670 --> 00:12:06,720 achieving it and so given enough time 310 00:12:12,710 --> 00:12:09,680 right which is also interesting here 311 00:12:15,710 --> 00:12:12,720 given enough time and effort and energy 312 00:12:17,870 --> 00:12:15,720 Etc like we will crack that and then 313 00:12:20,449 --> 00:12:17,880 once we do crack it 314 00:12:22,130 --> 00:12:20,459 it's at that point where the 315 00:12:25,730 --> 00:12:22,140 possibilities 316 00:12:27,949 --> 00:12:25,740 become a a huge unfolding of different 317 00:12:30,590 --> 00:12:27,959 things that they they come into the 318 00:12:32,889 --> 00:12:30,600 equation into the conversation uh not 319 00:12:36,050 --> 00:12:32,899 only changing the past visiting the past 320 00:12:39,350 --> 00:12:36,060 uh but changing the future maybe perhaps 321 00:12:43,310 --> 00:12:39,360 multiple Futures multiple uh lineages 322 00:12:47,150 --> 00:12:43,320 that have a similar kind of human uh or 323 00:12:49,069 --> 00:12:47,160 hominid component all because of you 324 00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:49,079 know small things that may have taken 325 00:12:53,690 --> 00:12:51,360 place in our in our history that our 326 00:12:56,090 --> 00:12:53,700 future selves happen to have 327 00:12:58,490 --> 00:12:56,100 accomplished I know we're going to get 328 00:13:00,710 --> 00:12:58,500 into some of that too so it opens up the 329 00:13:02,329 --> 00:13:00,720 possibility space quite a bit while also 330 00:13:04,250 --> 00:13:02,339 constraining it and I don't know there's 331 00:13:06,829 --> 00:13:04,260 some Elegance to that 332 00:13:08,930 --> 00:13:06,839 right and there's other elements we can 333 00:13:10,610 --> 00:13:08,940 bring in and we will do this as we go 334 00:13:12,230 --> 00:13:10,620 through this tonight but I just want to 335 00:13:14,150 --> 00:13:12,240 remind people that all of the some of 336 00:13:18,350 --> 00:13:14,160 the most common players in the UFO 337 00:13:20,389 --> 00:13:18,360 phenomenon have shapes forms that bear a 338 00:13:22,370 --> 00:13:20,399 striking resemblance with forms that 339 00:13:23,690 --> 00:13:22,380 already exist on the Earth right we one 340 00:13:26,050 --> 00:13:23,700 of the most common ones or the most 341 00:13:28,250 --> 00:13:26,060 striking ones is the nine foot tall 342 00:13:31,430 --> 00:13:28,260 mantids right that look a lot like a 343 00:13:34,310 --> 00:13:31,440 giant praying mantis why why why would 344 00:13:36,530 --> 00:13:34,320 an alien being look almost exactly like 345 00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:36,540 a giant version of an insect on planet 346 00:13:41,030 --> 00:13:38,160 Earth just 347 00:13:42,590 --> 00:13:41,040 think through the the what would have to 348 00:13:44,990 --> 00:13:42,600 be in play for that to be the case it's 349 00:13:47,389 --> 00:13:45,000 very very difficult to make the argument 350 00:13:48,889 --> 00:13:47,399 assuming evolution is mostly true that 351 00:13:50,750 --> 00:13:48,899 there's some element of truth behind the 352 00:13:53,750 --> 00:13:50,760 theory of evolution by natural selection 353 00:13:55,910 --> 00:13:53,760 if that is somehow really indicative of 354 00:13:57,530 --> 00:13:55,920 reality how would you end up with a form 355 00:13:59,150 --> 00:13:57,540 on a different planet with completely 356 00:14:00,889 --> 00:13:59,160 different environmental conditions and 357 00:14:02,690 --> 00:14:00,899 pressures that would produce a form 358 00:14:03,829 --> 00:14:02,700 that's almost identical other than being 359 00:14:06,410 --> 00:14:03,839 much larger 360 00:14:08,750 --> 00:14:06,420 it's it's difficult to really reckon 361 00:14:09,949 --> 00:14:08,760 with even the reptilians which I think 362 00:14:11,870 --> 00:14:09,959 some people have the hardest time 363 00:14:14,509 --> 00:14:11,880 believing in 364 00:14:16,730 --> 00:14:14,519 are mostly humanoid shapes mixed with 365 00:14:18,829 --> 00:14:16,740 kind of lizards right and both of those 366 00:14:20,870 --> 00:14:18,839 also exist on the Earth 367 00:14:23,389 --> 00:14:20,880 and of course 368 00:14:25,629 --> 00:14:23,399 we can't look past the number of human 369 00:14:27,889 --> 00:14:25,639 looking the fully human looking beings 370 00:14:30,110 --> 00:14:27,899 we have ones that are kind of like a 371 00:14:32,150 --> 00:14:30,120 seem like a bit of an extrapolation like 372 00:14:33,530 --> 00:14:32,160 the nordics but you have other ones that 373 00:14:35,810 --> 00:14:33,540 look like the same person you could be 374 00:14:37,490 --> 00:14:35,820 Crossing or passing in the street so 375 00:14:39,769 --> 00:14:37,500 again you ask the question 376 00:14:42,889 --> 00:14:39,779 you must ask the question why why are 377 00:14:45,590 --> 00:14:42,899 these the forms if these really are 378 00:14:47,150 --> 00:14:45,600 primarily extraterrestrial entities why 379 00:14:49,730 --> 00:14:47,160 do they have these striking resemblances 380 00:14:51,050 --> 00:14:49,740 to typologies that already exist on the 381 00:14:52,610 --> 00:14:51,060 planet right now 382 00:14:53,870 --> 00:14:52,620 want to quote from this book here and 383 00:14:55,430 --> 00:14:53,880 then we can Riff on this so this is 384 00:14:56,930 --> 00:14:55,440 again from Michael Masters the extra 385 00:14:59,569 --> 00:14:56,940 tempestral model 386 00:15:01,850 --> 00:14:59,579 quote an important component of this 387 00:15:04,490 --> 00:15:01,860 concept centered on how long-term 388 00:15:06,829 --> 00:15:04,500 biological and cultural Trends in human 389 00:15:09,470 --> 00:15:06,839 evolution if they persist into the 390 00:15:11,389 --> 00:15:09,480 future may ultimately result in us 391 00:15:14,090 --> 00:15:11,399 becoming them 392 00:15:16,430 --> 00:15:14,100 this is noteworthy considering how often 393 00:15:17,990 --> 00:15:16,440 these beings are described as human or 394 00:15:20,689 --> 00:15:18,000 with unique derived traits 395 00:15:22,670 --> 00:15:20,699 characteristic of the hominin lineage 396 00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:22,680 it is also improbable that 397 00:15:27,530 --> 00:15:24,720 extraterrestrial aliens elsewhere in the 398 00:15:30,050 --> 00:15:27,540 universe would evolve to be bipedal and 399 00:15:32,870 --> 00:15:30,060 generally look and act so much like us 400 00:15:34,970 --> 00:15:32,880 furthermore most UFOs seen in 401 00:15:36,829 --> 00:15:34,980 association with these beings have a 402 00:15:39,590 --> 00:15:36,839 form consistent with what we would 403 00:15:42,350 --> 00:15:39,600 expect to see in a craft capable of 404 00:15:44,329 --> 00:15:42,360 manipulating space-time which suggests 405 00:15:46,670 --> 00:15:44,339 these are the very devices that allow 406 00:15:49,430 --> 00:15:46,680 our future progeny to venture backward 407 00:15:51,590 --> 00:15:49,440 across the landscape of time 408 00:15:53,569 --> 00:15:51,600 I want to jump into one other 409 00:15:56,689 --> 00:15:53,579 quote here and the Morgan Riff on this 410 00:15:58,850 --> 00:15:56,699 quote although we can't know how ensuing 411 00:16:01,490 --> 00:15:58,860 forces really impact our physiology and 412 00:16:03,889 --> 00:16:01,500 culture examining dominant Trends 413 00:16:06,590 --> 00:16:03,899 throughout the homonym past May provide 414 00:16:09,110 --> 00:16:06,600 some insight into our future form 415 00:16:11,569 --> 00:16:09,120 for instance among the most overt and 416 00:16:14,509 --> 00:16:11,579 enduring changes were an increase in 417 00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:14,519 size and roundness of our upper skull 418 00:16:19,550 --> 00:16:17,519 and a concomitant reduction and 419 00:16:23,629 --> 00:16:19,560 retraction of our mid and lower facial 420 00:16:25,250 --> 00:16:23,639 Anatomy these craniofacial changes arose 421 00:16:28,069 --> 00:16:25,260 in association with our ancestors 422 00:16:30,230 --> 00:16:28,079 becoming habitually bipedal which 423 00:16:31,550 --> 00:16:30,240 initially occurred six to eight million 424 00:16:33,530 --> 00:16:31,560 years ago 425 00:16:36,290 --> 00:16:33,540 these most Market changes to our 426 00:16:38,210 --> 00:16:36,300 craniofacial architecture persisted and 427 00:16:40,610 --> 00:16:38,220 accelerated through the entirety of 428 00:16:42,470 --> 00:16:40,620 hominin evolution regardless of where we 429 00:16:44,030 --> 00:16:42,480 lived on this planet or what our 430 00:16:46,610 --> 00:16:44,040 environmental conditions were like at 431 00:16:48,829 --> 00:16:46,620 any given time considering the enduring 432 00:16:50,990 --> 00:16:48,839 nature of these and other past Trends 433 00:16:53,870 --> 00:16:51,000 what is observed in the appearance and 434 00:16:56,689 --> 00:16:53,880 behavior of the visitors while alien to 435 00:16:58,189 --> 00:16:56,699 what we are now is entirely consistent 436 00:17:00,590 --> 00:16:58,199 with what has occurred throughout the 437 00:17:04,490 --> 00:17:00,600 human past and what may be the human 438 00:17:09,289 --> 00:17:06,590 good stuff right there I you know one of 439 00:17:11,750 --> 00:17:09,299 the issues I have with uh getting my 440 00:17:14,150 --> 00:17:11,760 breath in my mind around it is 441 00:17:17,210 --> 00:17:14,160 in in this and I've asked Michael 442 00:17:19,730 --> 00:17:17,220 Masters about this as well so I had a 443 00:17:21,350 --> 00:17:19,740 chat with him about it but the the 444 00:17:24,710 --> 00:17:21,360 my understanding of evolutionary 445 00:17:27,169 --> 00:17:24,720 pressure is that uh that when things are 446 00:17:31,190 --> 00:17:27,179 advantageous to the propagation of the 447 00:17:34,430 --> 00:17:31,200 species they are passed down through the 448 00:17:36,169 --> 00:17:34,440 you know the gene pool and uh you know 449 00:17:39,950 --> 00:17:36,179 they can be mutations or they can just 450 00:17:42,470 --> 00:17:39,960 be adaptations that you know help that 451 00:17:44,330 --> 00:17:42,480 help that organism survive 452 00:17:46,669 --> 00:17:44,340 um and so I understand the evolutionary 453 00:17:49,430 --> 00:17:46,679 pressures that you know maybe led to the 454 00:17:51,110 --> 00:17:49,440 modern homo sapien sapien but what I am 455 00:17:53,630 --> 00:17:51,120 having a harder time understanding is 456 00:17:56,510 --> 00:17:53,640 now that we live in the world we live in 457 00:17:58,970 --> 00:17:56,520 today where the evolutionary pressures 458 00:18:00,590 --> 00:17:58,980 are a little bit different uh it's not 459 00:18:03,529 --> 00:18:00,600 as if I mean look I'm wearing 460 00:18:04,789 --> 00:18:03,539 Correctional lenses right now I can if I 461 00:18:07,970 --> 00:18:04,799 can operate in the world because I've 462 00:18:09,830 --> 00:18:07,980 got eyewear that helps me see clearly if 463 00:18:11,270 --> 00:18:09,840 I didn't have this eyewear you know 464 00:18:13,010 --> 00:18:11,280 maybe I wouldn't navigate the world so 465 00:18:14,510 --> 00:18:13,020 well maybe I you know wouldn't find a 466 00:18:16,070 --> 00:18:14,520 mate maybe I wouldn't have children I 467 00:18:17,390 --> 00:18:16,080 mean that's an extreme example but I 468 00:18:19,430 --> 00:18:17,400 think it's hard to see that as an 469 00:18:22,370 --> 00:18:19,440 example for where I'm going here and 470 00:18:26,029 --> 00:18:22,380 that is you know how do we get from 471 00:18:29,029 --> 00:18:26,039 Modern human to uh sort of gray alien 472 00:18:31,490 --> 00:18:29,039 look looking human without those kinds 473 00:18:35,330 --> 00:18:31,500 of pressures to push us in that 474 00:18:39,110 --> 00:18:35,340 direction unless perhaps uh we ourselves 475 00:18:41,450 --> 00:18:39,120 are taking an active role in hand in 476 00:18:42,770 --> 00:18:41,460 that evolutionary development so perhaps 477 00:18:44,870 --> 00:18:42,780 at some point 478 00:18:47,150 --> 00:18:44,880 we gain a greater Mastery and it's not 479 00:18:49,970 --> 00:18:47,160 hard to imagine this a greater Mastery 480 00:18:52,190 --> 00:18:49,980 over our own physiology and of course we 481 00:18:55,669 --> 00:18:52,200 might say well it would be better for us 482 00:18:57,470 --> 00:18:55,679 to have smaller bodies less of a caloric 483 00:18:59,630 --> 00:18:57,480 need there maybe we it's better for us 484 00:19:02,390 --> 00:18:59,640 to have enhanced greater intelligence so 485 00:19:05,630 --> 00:19:02,400 you know let's engineer ourselves to be 486 00:19:08,450 --> 00:19:05,640 more like what we so commonly associate 487 00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:08,460 with as these uh gray alien beings as 488 00:19:12,350 --> 00:19:10,380 just an example so I don't know if he's 489 00:19:13,850 --> 00:19:12,360 if he touches on that in the book or 490 00:19:15,230 --> 00:19:13,860 what with thoughts you might have on it 491 00:19:16,970 --> 00:19:15,240 but that's one that jumps out at me 492 00:19:19,909 --> 00:19:16,980 right away 493 00:19:21,770 --> 00:19:19,919 yeah good points and I think 494 00:19:23,330 --> 00:19:21,780 one of the most compelling aspects of 495 00:19:25,250 --> 00:19:23,340 his argument and there's a couple um 496 00:19:26,570 --> 00:19:25,260 there's several actually but but one is 497 00:19:28,310 --> 00:19:26,580 that just to make this really clear and 498 00:19:29,990 --> 00:19:28,320 based on what I just read there he's 499 00:19:31,909 --> 00:19:30,000 saying that already when you just take 500 00:19:34,370 --> 00:19:31,919 the trends that he's already observed 501 00:19:36,470 --> 00:19:34,380 have been part of the hominin line and 502 00:19:39,049 --> 00:19:36,480 you extend those into the future those 503 00:19:41,029 --> 00:19:39,059 Trends alone that already exist would 504 00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:41,039 produce something more like a gray alien 505 00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:42,480 right so he's saying some of that is 506 00:19:46,370 --> 00:19:44,520 already in play 507 00:19:48,289 --> 00:19:46,380 now to the point you made about having 508 00:19:50,570 --> 00:19:48,299 corrective lenses and how we do 509 00:19:53,029 --> 00:19:50,580 different things to bioengineer 510 00:19:55,070 --> 00:19:53,039 ourselves right uh won't be that far 511 00:19:56,590 --> 00:19:55,080 into the future before people will at 512 00:19:59,270 --> 00:19:56,600 least have the option of sort of custom 513 00:20:00,890 --> 00:19:59,280 coding their children right selecting 514 00:20:03,230 --> 00:20:00,900 certain genes deliberately rather than 515 00:20:07,010 --> 00:20:03,240 being kind of a random process 516 00:20:09,590 --> 00:20:07,020 and as we begin to do that 517 00:20:12,289 --> 00:20:09,600 we are effectively changing the way 518 00:20:14,870 --> 00:20:12,299 Evolution works right so 519 00:20:16,789 --> 00:20:14,880 in the past when certain traits were not 520 00:20:18,169 --> 00:20:16,799 advantageous they would that part of the 521 00:20:19,490 --> 00:20:18,179 ancestry would die out they just 522 00:20:20,570 --> 00:20:19,500 wouldn't like you said you you wouldn't 523 00:20:23,690 --> 00:20:20,580 have kids you wouldn't have that 524 00:20:25,789 --> 00:20:23,700 opportunity now we're able to circumvent 525 00:20:28,909 --> 00:20:25,799 that process and actually allow people 526 00:20:32,330 --> 00:20:28,919 with maybe less survival oriented genes 527 00:20:34,549 --> 00:20:32,340 on their own find ways around that but 528 00:20:37,909 --> 00:20:34,559 one of Michael Masters points in the 529 00:20:40,610 --> 00:20:37,919 book is that the long-term effect of 530 00:20:43,430 --> 00:20:40,620 that is that we actually are producing 531 00:20:46,070 --> 00:20:43,440 progeny who are less capable of passing 532 00:20:48,289 --> 00:20:46,080 on their genes through the process of 533 00:20:51,650 --> 00:20:48,299 evolution alone so in some ways we are 534 00:20:53,870 --> 00:20:51,660 weakening the the force of evolutionary 535 00:20:56,930 --> 00:20:53,880 pressures kind of thing because we're 536 00:20:59,210 --> 00:20:56,940 we're messing with the the dynamism of 537 00:21:01,250 --> 00:20:59,220 the process right and he also notes that 538 00:21:02,570 --> 00:21:01,260 we've seen this massive decline in sperm 539 00:21:04,190 --> 00:21:02,580 counts 540 00:21:05,870 --> 00:21:04,200 massive when you think about how 541 00:21:08,690 --> 00:21:05,880 recently you know like in the last few 542 00:21:11,210 --> 00:21:08,700 decades just a a really precipitous 543 00:21:12,470 --> 00:21:11,220 decline which makes you wonder what's 544 00:21:13,730 --> 00:21:12,480 that about is it about some 545 00:21:15,710 --> 00:21:13,740 environmental factor that something 546 00:21:17,510 --> 00:21:15,720 we're consuming from the environment now 547 00:21:18,610 --> 00:21:17,520 that we learned that our ancestors 548 00:21:21,350 --> 00:21:18,620 weren't 549 00:21:22,610 --> 00:21:21,360 but you take those things and those 550 00:21:24,470 --> 00:21:22,620 points he's making are that these are 551 00:21:26,210 --> 00:21:24,480 things are already a trend he's already 552 00:21:27,289 --> 00:21:26,220 seeing we're talking about some of the 553 00:21:30,350 --> 00:21:27,299 ways that we're beginning to buy 554 00:21:32,149 --> 00:21:30,360 engineer our future 555 00:21:35,270 --> 00:21:32,159 and then you think about the kind of 556 00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:35,280 things that we talk about in this 557 00:21:39,049 --> 00:21:37,440 discourse about this particular topic 558 00:21:40,310 --> 00:21:39,059 around the possibility of a cataclysm 559 00:21:42,110 --> 00:21:40,320 for instance right 560 00:21:43,909 --> 00:21:42,120 and the notion with the cataclysm is if 561 00:21:45,890 --> 00:21:43,919 it involves some sort of for instance 562 00:21:47,270 --> 00:21:45,900 some sort of object from space colliding 563 00:21:49,850 --> 00:21:47,280 with the Earth 564 00:21:51,830 --> 00:21:49,860 in which you would have this huge Cloud 565 00:21:54,350 --> 00:21:51,840 sort of cover the surface of the planet 566 00:21:55,730 --> 00:21:54,360 which would reduce the temperature would 567 00:21:56,870 --> 00:21:55,740 greatly reduce the amount of sunlight 568 00:21:59,090 --> 00:21:56,880 coming through 569 00:22:00,289 --> 00:21:59,100 and so you would end up perhaps you 570 00:22:01,730 --> 00:22:00,299 could argue 571 00:22:03,770 --> 00:22:01,740 either just because of the reduced 572 00:22:05,930 --> 00:22:03,780 sunlight or because the conditions on 573 00:22:08,029 --> 00:22:05,940 the surface were so detrimental that you 574 00:22:10,370 --> 00:22:08,039 were forced underground that you could 575 00:22:11,930 --> 00:22:10,380 end up evolving a form even more like a 576 00:22:15,590 --> 00:22:11,940 gray alien when you have much larger 577 00:22:17,090 --> 00:22:15,600 eyes that are basically able to draw in 578 00:22:19,669 --> 00:22:17,100 as much light as possible in a low light 579 00:22:21,289 --> 00:22:19,679 environment right and 580 00:22:24,110 --> 00:22:21,299 you think about different things about 581 00:22:26,990 --> 00:22:24,120 their their aspect the sort of gray skin 582 00:22:29,210 --> 00:22:27,000 again when you don't have direct contact 583 00:22:30,890 --> 00:22:29,220 with the Sun or much reduced contact 584 00:22:32,149 --> 00:22:30,900 with the sun and perhaps living 585 00:22:33,950 --> 00:22:32,159 underground or you're living under a 586 00:22:35,390 --> 00:22:33,960 consistent cloud cover then you might 587 00:22:36,049 --> 00:22:35,400 end up with that kind of pale kind of 588 00:22:38,630 --> 00:22:36,059 skin 589 00:22:39,649 --> 00:22:38,640 you've also got the sense that we talked 590 00:22:43,130 --> 00:22:39,659 about before we went on the air tonight 591 00:22:46,070 --> 00:22:43,140 about what we see with the the onset of 592 00:22:48,649 --> 00:22:46,080 AI and robots is that we could 593 00:22:50,330 --> 00:22:48,659 conceivably be pretty quickly in a 594 00:22:52,970 --> 00:22:50,340 situation where no manual labor would 595 00:22:54,950 --> 00:22:52,980 necessarily be necessary right for our 596 00:22:56,990 --> 00:22:54,960 species and if that's the case we would 597 00:22:59,270 --> 00:22:57,000 use our musculature a lot less than we 598 00:23:01,130 --> 00:22:59,280 have historically which when you look at 599 00:23:02,510 --> 00:23:01,140 a gray alien again you see a being that 600 00:23:05,149 --> 00:23:02,520 doesn't have the kind of defined 601 00:23:06,770 --> 00:23:05,159 musculature that we do but that again 602 00:23:09,289 --> 00:23:06,780 when you look at the trans even 603 00:23:12,049 --> 00:23:09,299 technologically it's not a huge stretch 604 00:23:14,149 --> 00:23:12,059 to imagine that we might end up there 605 00:23:15,470 --> 00:23:14,159 yeah that definitely makes more sense 606 00:23:16,250 --> 00:23:15,480 and 607 00:23:18,409 --> 00:23:16,260 um 608 00:23:20,450 --> 00:23:18,419 you know there's another part of this 609 00:23:22,730 --> 00:23:20,460 argument that makes me a little bit sad 610 00:23:24,830 --> 00:23:22,740 because uh I think 611 00:23:28,370 --> 00:23:24,840 a lot and we've touched on this a little 612 00:23:30,169 --> 00:23:28,380 bit in some other episodes but 613 00:23:32,330 --> 00:23:30,179 from all outward appearances the 614 00:23:34,549 --> 00:23:32,340 interactions with and just I'm picking 615 00:23:36,830 --> 00:23:34,559 on the Grays here so it get to the other 616 00:23:38,649 --> 00:23:36,840 ones I'm sure uh but with the 617 00:23:43,870 --> 00:23:38,659 interactions with the Grays seem to be 618 00:23:45,950 --> 00:23:43,880 very kind of stoic uh you know not 619 00:23:48,169 --> 00:23:45,960 characterized in the way that we would 620 00:23:50,750 --> 00:23:48,179 think of of normal modern human 621 00:23:54,590 --> 00:23:50,760 interaction with a lot of hand gestures 622 00:23:56,330 --> 00:23:54,600 or even even using jokes or verbal 623 00:23:58,850 --> 00:23:56,340 communication there doesn't seem to be 624 00:24:01,850 --> 00:23:58,860 an appearance of you know culture 625 00:24:04,610 --> 00:24:01,860 necessarily uh at least and how we are 626 00:24:07,130 --> 00:24:04,620 used to understanding culture 627 00:24:09,590 --> 00:24:07,140 um art you know the the inside of the 628 00:24:12,710 --> 00:24:09,600 craft often are described as essentially 629 00:24:15,169 --> 00:24:12,720 like smooth and colorless and just sort 630 00:24:16,789 --> 00:24:15,179 of empty spaces so there's a there's a 631 00:24:18,110 --> 00:24:16,799 part of me the modern day human part of 632 00:24:21,529 --> 00:24:18,120 me that says well that seems kind of 633 00:24:24,049 --> 00:24:21,539 like a bland future to be in and perhaps 634 00:24:26,210 --> 00:24:24,059 they themselves feel the same or they've 635 00:24:28,490 --> 00:24:26,220 uh kind of evolved to a point where they 636 00:24:31,310 --> 00:24:28,500 no longer refine those things pertinent 637 00:24:33,470 --> 00:24:31,320 or also there's the possibility that the 638 00:24:37,070 --> 00:24:33,480 all those things that we find enjoyable 639 00:24:39,289 --> 00:24:37,080 they may take place in their own uh a 640 00:24:41,630 --> 00:24:39,299 mental space rather than their exterior 641 00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:41,640 spaces it's not hard to imagine that if 642 00:24:47,090 --> 00:24:44,159 you that somehow marry our technology 643 00:24:49,430 --> 00:24:47,100 with our neural activity in in the 644 00:24:51,169 --> 00:24:49,440 trajectory that we're presently on that 645 00:24:53,750 --> 00:24:51,179 everything that's happening inside your 646 00:24:55,610 --> 00:24:53,760 you know your brain could be way more 647 00:24:58,250 --> 00:24:55,620 exciting than what than what is 648 00:24:59,870 --> 00:24:58,260 happening in the world around you 649 00:25:01,430 --> 00:24:59,880 that's a great point and I think that 650 00:25:02,570 --> 00:25:01,440 speaks to some of what I've discussed 651 00:25:03,830 --> 00:25:02,580 before in terms of Eastern 652 00:25:06,890 --> 00:25:03,840 understandings of spirituality and 653 00:25:09,289 --> 00:25:06,900 whatnot Zen design and aesthetic tends 654 00:25:11,750 --> 00:25:09,299 to be quite minimalistic 655 00:25:13,909 --> 00:25:11,760 um and I I tend to prefer that 656 00:25:15,649 --> 00:25:13,919 um but 657 00:25:18,529 --> 00:25:15,659 yeah you're right when we think about 658 00:25:21,169 --> 00:25:18,539 how like the rich colors and and flavors 659 00:25:23,149 --> 00:25:21,179 and smells if you step into India right 660 00:25:25,970 --> 00:25:23,159 and you just see like this eruption of 661 00:25:28,549 --> 00:25:25,980 bright vivid colors and and the the 662 00:25:30,950 --> 00:25:28,559 smells of the rich food and whatnot how 663 00:25:33,890 --> 00:25:30,960 that is a stark contrast like you say to 664 00:25:34,970 --> 00:25:33,900 the the supposed alien craft that often 665 00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:34,980 look 666 00:25:40,070 --> 00:25:37,440 like you know rounded kind of Corners 667 00:25:42,710 --> 00:25:40,080 usually white very monotone kind of 668 00:25:44,510 --> 00:25:42,720 features we do not see a rich display of 669 00:25:46,010 --> 00:25:44,520 color and whatnot you do not see 670 00:25:48,169 --> 00:25:46,020 paintings on the wall generally you 671 00:25:50,570 --> 00:25:48,179 don't hear about these things right 672 00:25:52,070 --> 00:25:50,580 um but let me just first hit a bit more 673 00:25:54,230 --> 00:25:52,080 on because we want to get into later 674 00:25:55,310 --> 00:25:54,240 this doesn't necessarily preclude the 675 00:25:57,769 --> 00:25:55,320 other possibilities of the other 676 00:25:59,750 --> 00:25:57,779 hypotheses and May in some ways in a 677 00:26:02,330 --> 00:25:59,760 roundabout way actually enable those 678 00:26:04,730 --> 00:26:02,340 other hypotheses to also be trippy true 679 00:26:07,850 --> 00:26:04,740 as a consequence of this 680 00:26:10,190 --> 00:26:07,860 but let's first really key in on 681 00:26:12,110 --> 00:26:10,200 some of the specifics about what make 682 00:26:13,789 --> 00:26:12,120 this particular argument very compelling 683 00:26:16,010 --> 00:26:13,799 and again let's focus on the form 684 00:26:17,810 --> 00:26:16,020 because I think it's easy for us to miss 685 00:26:19,669 --> 00:26:17,820 this because we're used to this form but 686 00:26:21,830 --> 00:26:19,679 when you actually think about how 687 00:26:24,230 --> 00:26:21,840 unlikely and how rare this kind of form 688 00:26:26,330 --> 00:26:24,240 is I think it hits home the point so 689 00:26:29,330 --> 00:26:26,340 quoting from the book again here quote 690 00:26:31,430 --> 00:26:29,340 as mentioned above it is improbable that 691 00:26:34,250 --> 00:26:31,440 extraterrestrial aliens would evolve to 692 00:26:36,649 --> 00:26:34,260 look or act like us the odds are very 693 00:26:39,830 --> 00:26:36,659 low then another two-legged upright 694 00:26:41,990 --> 00:26:39,840 walking hominin with two eyes a nose a 695 00:26:44,630 --> 00:26:42,000 mouth five digits on each hand and foot 696 00:26:47,330 --> 00:26:44,640 and an enlarged brain and urocranium 697 00:26:49,549 --> 00:26:47,340 would evolve again in a separate solar 698 00:26:51,409 --> 00:26:49,559 system it is even less likely when 699 00:26:54,470 --> 00:26:51,419 considering the specific environmental 700 00:26:56,990 --> 00:26:54,480 and bio-cultural factors that culminated 701 00:26:59,149 --> 00:26:57,000 in our complex condition making our 702 00:27:01,730 --> 00:26:59,159 species unique among the plethora of 703 00:27:03,830 --> 00:27:01,740 other organisms on the planet 704 00:27:05,570 --> 00:27:03,840 taking into consideration countless 705 00:27:08,210 --> 00:27:05,580 consistent reports provided by 706 00:27:10,250 --> 00:27:08,220 sound-minded individuals who assert that 707 00:27:13,370 --> 00:27:10,260 they have seen or interacted with these 708 00:27:16,190 --> 00:27:13,380 beings both they and US seemingly share 709 00:27:18,230 --> 00:27:16,200 numerous derived characteristics unique 710 00:27:20,630 --> 00:27:18,240 to the hominin lineage 711 00:27:23,630 --> 00:27:20,640 among the most recognizable of these is 712 00:27:25,909 --> 00:27:23,640 our bipedal form of locomotion or 713 00:27:28,850 --> 00:27:25,919 upright walking which is to trait that 714 00:27:31,010 --> 00:27:28,860 defines our hominin lineage it is 715 00:27:33,890 --> 00:27:31,020 important to note that bipedalism is 716 00:27:36,470 --> 00:27:33,900 incredibly rare among all animals here 717 00:27:38,990 --> 00:27:36,480 on Earth and it is undoubtedly even 718 00:27:41,210 --> 00:27:39,000 rarer on earth like exoplanets elsewhere 719 00:27:43,730 --> 00:27:41,220 in the universe considering most are far 720 00:27:45,409 --> 00:27:43,740 more massive by comparison in fact 721 00:27:47,390 --> 00:27:45,419 according to data obtained by the 722 00:27:49,669 --> 00:27:47,400 exoplanet catalog of the planetary 723 00:27:52,669 --> 00:27:49,679 habituality laboratory at the University 724 00:27:55,090 --> 00:27:52,679 of Puerto Rico at arcebo 725 00:27:58,909 --> 00:27:55,100 only 46 of the 726 00:28:01,610 --> 00:27:58,919 2123 confirmed exoplanets that's 2.27 727 00:28:03,950 --> 00:28:01,620 percent have amassed less than or 728 00:28:05,810 --> 00:28:03,960 equivalent to that of Earth additionally 729 00:28:09,289 --> 00:28:05,820 despite living on a relatively small 730 00:28:12,110 --> 00:28:09,299 planet with gravity of only 9.8 m to the 731 00:28:13,909 --> 00:28:12,120 S squared bipedalism is extremely 732 00:28:15,830 --> 00:28:13,919 uncommon here 733 00:28:18,710 --> 00:28:15,840 to the extent that we are the only 734 00:28:19,909 --> 00:28:18,720 mammal that does it full time let that 735 00:28:22,430 --> 00:28:19,919 sink in 736 00:28:24,470 --> 00:28:22,440 our bipedal form of locomotion is also 737 00:28:27,049 --> 00:28:24,480 to blame for such discomforts as neck 738 00:28:30,409 --> 00:28:27,059 and back pain knee problems complicated 739 00:28:32,870 --> 00:28:30,419 births hemorrhoids hernias fainting and 740 00:28:34,549 --> 00:28:32,880 fractured hips among others the Myriad 741 00:28:36,230 --> 00:28:34,559 effects that gravity alone has on 742 00:28:38,570 --> 00:28:36,240 shaping the physical and behavioral 743 00:28:39,710 --> 00:28:38,580 characteristics of an organism suggests 744 00:28:42,409 --> 00:28:39,720 that even if intelligent 745 00:28:45,169 --> 00:28:42,419 extraterrestrial beings do exist we may 746 00:28:47,090 --> 00:28:45,179 be the only Advance bipedal beings in 747 00:28:49,250 --> 00:28:47,100 the galactic neighborhood 748 00:28:51,350 --> 00:28:49,260 reports of Close Encounters also 749 00:28:54,350 --> 00:28:51,360 indicate that we and the visitors share 750 00:28:57,830 --> 00:28:54,360 traits like bilateral symmetry relative 751 00:29:00,529 --> 00:28:57,840 hairlessness dexterous hands sexual 752 00:29:03,289 --> 00:29:00,539 reproduction the lack of a tail which is 753 00:29:06,669 --> 00:29:03,299 also rare on earth a large and globular 754 00:29:09,830 --> 00:29:06,679 brain big eyes a small mouth and nose 755 00:29:11,630 --> 00:29:09,840 these shared derived traits are unlikely 756 00:29:13,250 --> 00:29:11,640 to arise in alien creatures that 757 00:29:15,049 --> 00:29:13,260 underwent a separate evolutionary 758 00:29:17,090 --> 00:29:15,059 trajectory on a different planet 759 00:29:19,310 --> 00:29:17,100 elsewhere in the universe other 760 00:29:21,289 --> 00:29:19,320 scientists are also skeptical about the 761 00:29:23,269 --> 00:29:21,299 universality of intelligent life on 762 00:29:25,130 --> 00:29:23,279 other planets or that extraterrestrial 763 00:29:27,350 --> 00:29:25,140 beings would evolve to look anything 764 00:29:29,750 --> 00:29:27,360 like us according to Legendary 765 00:29:31,909 --> 00:29:29,760 cosmologist Carl Sagan and they do my 766 00:29:34,510 --> 00:29:31,919 best Carl Sagan boys here and sure 767 00:29:37,909 --> 00:29:34,520 lesion of evolution 768 00:29:40,490 --> 00:29:37,919 is that organisms elsewhere must have 769 00:29:42,049 --> 00:29:40,500 separate evolutionary Pathways that 770 00:29:44,090 --> 00:29:42,059 their chemistry and biology and very 771 00:29:45,889 --> 00:29:44,100 likely their social organism will be 772 00:29:48,409 --> 00:29:45,899 performed or social organization will be 773 00:29:49,970 --> 00:29:48,419 profoundly dissimilar to anything on 774 00:29:53,029 --> 00:29:49,980 Earth amongst those billions and 775 00:29:58,070 --> 00:29:55,549 uh yeah so that's pretty compelling I 776 00:30:00,230 --> 00:29:58,080 I'm I'm having a hard time you know 777 00:30:01,970 --> 00:30:00,240 countering the those points of 778 00:30:04,250 --> 00:30:01,980 argumentation there 779 00:30:06,769 --> 00:30:04,260 um you know we have talked about uh you 780 00:30:08,750 --> 00:30:06,779 know another possibility that there is 781 00:30:12,590 --> 00:30:08,760 this sort of cosmic seating program that 782 00:30:14,330 --> 00:30:12,600 maybe that uh the human or hominid uh 783 00:30:16,610 --> 00:30:14,340 you know imprint or template whichever 784 00:30:19,730 --> 00:30:16,620 way you think about it uh exists 785 00:30:21,289 --> 00:30:19,740 throughout the Universe uh that uh and 786 00:30:24,350 --> 00:30:21,299 this is sort of along the lines of 787 00:30:28,610 --> 00:30:24,360 hanspermia as well that uh that we were 788 00:30:31,370 --> 00:30:28,620 seated by our Cosmic Brethren which we 789 00:30:35,029 --> 00:30:31,380 share the same hereditary tree 790 00:30:37,090 --> 00:30:35,039 um and perhaps intelligent life forms of 791 00:30:39,850 --> 00:30:37,100 a similar intelligence to humans 792 00:30:42,529 --> 00:30:39,860 requires a lot of the same physiology 793 00:30:45,950 --> 00:30:42,539 that that we happen to have and that 794 00:30:48,669 --> 00:30:45,960 explains the the similarity there both 795 00:30:51,110 --> 00:30:48,679 possibilities are very interesting I I 796 00:30:52,669 --> 00:30:51,120 the if you go all in on the 797 00:30:54,289 --> 00:30:52,679 Extraterrestrial model though I think it 798 00:30:56,210 --> 00:30:54,299 becomes sir 799 00:30:57,889 --> 00:30:56,220 it's a lot it's a lot to Grapple with 800 00:31:00,350 --> 00:30:57,899 because we haven't spent a lot of time 801 00:31:03,950 --> 00:31:00,360 in the community I think unpacking the 802 00:31:06,289 --> 00:31:03,960 implications of it uh and we also don't 803 00:31:08,630 --> 00:31:06,299 like this notion first of all we're bad 804 00:31:10,669 --> 00:31:08,640 at understanding time generally right so 805 00:31:12,889 --> 00:31:10,679 let's let's get that out out there just 806 00:31:16,430 --> 00:31:12,899 on the table we're not good at 807 00:31:18,250 --> 00:31:16,440 understanding time we uh if now you're 808 00:31:21,289 --> 00:31:18,260 telling me that time can be messed with 809 00:31:23,330 --> 00:31:21,299 uh then I get really uncomfortable right 810 00:31:25,370 --> 00:31:23,340 so what exactly are you going to mess 811 00:31:26,930 --> 00:31:25,380 with you're going to mess with uh my 812 00:31:28,070 --> 00:31:26,940 family tree you're going to mess with my 813 00:31:29,750 --> 00:31:28,080 culture you're going to mess with you 814 00:31:31,130 --> 00:31:29,760 know all these different things and 815 00:31:33,649 --> 00:31:31,140 where does it stop that's the other 816 00:31:36,049 --> 00:31:33,659 question is how much uh interference is 817 00:31:37,930 --> 00:31:36,059 is really happening there is it 818 00:31:41,210 --> 00:31:37,940 continuous is it every once in a while 819 00:31:43,190 --> 00:31:41,220 uh so how how much has our past been 820 00:31:46,370 --> 00:31:43,200 altered how much has our future been 821 00:31:48,950 --> 00:31:46,380 altered once these I guess interfere uh 822 00:31:52,070 --> 00:31:48,960 once the meddlings begin then how many 823 00:31:54,950 --> 00:31:52,080 different branches are then created uh 824 00:31:58,190 --> 00:31:54,960 by the mirror fact of metal building to 825 00:32:02,210 --> 00:31:58,200 begin with right so could that mirror 826 00:32:04,909 --> 00:32:02,220 one act of change in the past cause the 827 00:32:08,029 --> 00:32:04,919 different kinds of beings that we happen 828 00:32:10,070 --> 00:32:08,039 to see right so maybe one interaction 829 00:32:13,010 --> 00:32:10,080 from our future selves traveling back in 830 00:32:15,230 --> 00:32:13,020 time where mantis uh the Mantis 831 00:32:17,510 --> 00:32:15,240 archetype was really prevalent like gave 832 00:32:21,350 --> 00:32:17,520 them a leg up somehow and that led to 833 00:32:23,330 --> 00:32:21,360 their dominance on Earth at I I don't 834 00:32:26,510 --> 00:32:23,340 know if I want to say a parallel time to 835 00:32:28,490 --> 00:32:26,520 ours but uh you know resulted in the 836 00:32:31,490 --> 00:32:28,500 nine foot Memphis beings that we've 837 00:32:33,110 --> 00:32:31,500 heard about so it just changes the way 838 00:32:36,289 --> 00:32:33,120 you think about all of these different 839 00:32:37,850 --> 00:32:36,299 beings and their actions and I think it 840 00:32:39,649 --> 00:32:37,860 becomes exciting but just in totally 841 00:32:41,090 --> 00:32:39,659 different ways than than what you 842 00:32:43,010 --> 00:32:41,100 conventionally think of because I 843 00:32:45,350 --> 00:32:43,020 conventionally think oh there's mantis 844 00:32:47,090 --> 00:32:45,360 beings from some other planet that I've 845 00:32:49,250 --> 00:32:47,100 not visited that would be cool to visit 846 00:32:51,350 --> 00:32:49,260 they have a whole different you know way 847 00:32:53,029 --> 00:32:51,360 of looking at things and we could travel 848 00:32:55,190 --> 00:32:53,039 there Etc but now you're telling me well 849 00:32:57,350 --> 00:32:55,200 no they actually like evolve on the same 850 00:33:02,210 --> 00:32:57,360 planet that we did just in some sort of 851 00:33:04,909 --> 00:33:03,769 yeah a lot of points you touched on 852 00:33:06,470 --> 00:33:04,919 there and I think we should try to 853 00:33:08,090 --> 00:33:06,480 unpack each of those there's so much to 854 00:33:09,710 --> 00:33:08,100 go into in this 855 00:33:11,269 --> 00:33:09,720 and again I just want to make clear to 856 00:33:13,430 --> 00:33:11,279 people we're not saying we're Landing 857 00:33:15,470 --> 00:33:13,440 here we this is one of the the different 858 00:33:17,330 --> 00:33:15,480 hypotheses to consider has many 859 00:33:19,850 --> 00:33:17,340 compelling elements and again it doesn't 860 00:33:21,769 --> 00:33:19,860 preclude the possibility of other kinds 861 00:33:23,630 --> 00:33:21,779 of beings here that perhaps don't have a 862 00:33:26,210 --> 00:33:23,640 direct lineage connected to us 863 00:33:29,810 --> 00:33:26,220 and I think again my my general tendency 864 00:33:30,590 --> 00:33:29,820 is to say more is more likely that I 865 00:33:33,350 --> 00:33:30,600 think 866 00:33:35,269 --> 00:33:33,360 life finds a way as they they say in 867 00:33:36,889 --> 00:33:35,279 Jurassic Park the Jeff Goldblum 868 00:33:38,930 --> 00:33:36,899 character I think that's likely the case 869 00:33:40,810 --> 00:33:38,940 and I think sometimes the arguments that 870 00:33:42,529 --> 00:33:40,820 are made against the notion of 871 00:33:43,669 --> 00:33:42,539 extraterrestrials for instance that 872 00:33:45,769 --> 00:33:43,679 they're too far away and it would take 873 00:33:48,230 --> 00:33:45,779 too long to get here I think those are 874 00:33:50,169 --> 00:33:48,240 remarkably silly arguments actually when 875 00:33:53,210 --> 00:33:50,179 you look at I just saw today someone 876 00:33:54,889 --> 00:33:53,220 showed a graphic of uh the Wright 877 00:33:56,750 --> 00:33:54,899 brothers creating the very first 878 00:33:58,490 --> 00:33:56,760 aircraft and then they showed us 879 00:34:01,149 --> 00:33:58,500 planting the American flag on the moon 880 00:34:04,490 --> 00:34:01,159 and that happened within 66 years 881 00:34:06,110 --> 00:34:04,500 66 years from the Wright brothers first 882 00:34:07,310 --> 00:34:06,120 creating some sort of contraption that 883 00:34:09,169 --> 00:34:07,320 barely got off the ground and didn't 884 00:34:11,810 --> 00:34:09,179 kill somebody to watch landing on the 885 00:34:13,970 --> 00:34:11,820 moon 66 years we're talking here about 886 00:34:16,129 --> 00:34:13,980 beings and civilizations that might be 887 00:34:19,190 --> 00:34:16,139 millions or you know hundreds of 888 00:34:21,770 --> 00:34:19,200 millions of years more advanced no doubt 889 00:34:24,050 --> 00:34:21,780 they will find ways to to interact with 890 00:34:25,190 --> 00:34:24,060 space-time differently than we do and as 891 00:34:27,109 --> 00:34:25,200 we've pointed on this show before 892 00:34:28,669 --> 00:34:27,119 there's all sorts of evidence suggesting 893 00:34:31,490 --> 00:34:28,679 this space time is not what we think it 894 00:34:33,290 --> 00:34:31,500 is that as a construct it's derivative 895 00:34:34,730 --> 00:34:33,300 of some deeper structure so we'll get 896 00:34:37,369 --> 00:34:34,740 into that too there's a lot to get into 897 00:34:38,690 --> 00:34:37,379 here another argument that some people 898 00:34:40,550 --> 00:34:38,700 make 899 00:34:43,190 --> 00:34:40,560 or some people wrestle with with this 900 00:34:46,010 --> 00:34:43,200 particular topic is the notion of Free 901 00:34:48,230 --> 00:34:46,020 Will and time travel right because they 902 00:34:50,089 --> 00:34:48,240 ask themselves 903 00:34:52,190 --> 00:34:50,099 based on current physics it's probably 904 00:34:55,010 --> 00:34:52,200 the most common notion 905 00:34:56,990 --> 00:34:55,020 is this notion of the block universe and 906 00:34:58,130 --> 00:34:57,000 with a block Universe you have this 907 00:35:00,710 --> 00:34:58,140 sense that 908 00:35:02,690 --> 00:35:00,720 all space and time already exists in 909 00:35:04,790 --> 00:35:02,700 some form and it's only our unique 910 00:35:07,609 --> 00:35:04,800 experience of going through life what 911 00:35:09,470 --> 00:35:07,619 feels like a linear path that's just 912 00:35:11,450 --> 00:35:09,480 unique to our experience right and 913 00:35:14,150 --> 00:35:11,460 unique to our senses and the way we've 914 00:35:16,310 --> 00:35:14,160 evolved all that kind of stuff but 915 00:35:18,829 --> 00:35:16,320 ultimately space and time is a finished 916 00:35:21,410 --> 00:35:18,839 matter and that's that's the block 917 00:35:23,690 --> 00:35:21,420 universe so according to that model you 918 00:35:27,230 --> 00:35:23,700 actually can't change 919 00:35:28,550 --> 00:35:27,240 the past you could visit it but you 920 00:35:30,890 --> 00:35:28,560 couldn't change it because it's already 921 00:35:32,030 --> 00:35:30,900 sort of fully formed and so some people 922 00:35:34,069 --> 00:35:32,040 wrestle with that though because when 923 00:35:35,990 --> 00:35:34,079 they hear that they go so you're saying 924 00:35:37,490 --> 00:35:36,000 that tomorrow I might think that I'm 925 00:35:39,170 --> 00:35:37,500 making a decision to go to here rather 926 00:35:41,450 --> 00:35:39,180 than here but really it's already all 927 00:35:42,890 --> 00:35:41,460 done and I actually have no free will 928 00:35:45,650 --> 00:35:42,900 I think what I would encourage people to 929 00:35:48,589 --> 00:35:45,660 realize there is that our experience is 930 00:35:50,030 --> 00:35:48,599 valid and it's all we know and from our 931 00:35:52,190 --> 00:35:50,040 perspective because this really comes 932 00:35:54,349 --> 00:35:52,200 down to having different perspectives 933 00:35:56,150 --> 00:35:54,359 from our perspective we do have free 934 00:35:58,730 --> 00:35:56,160 will because we don't see the finished 935 00:36:00,349 --> 00:35:58,740 result so we still are making decisions 936 00:36:02,450 --> 00:36:00,359 it's just that in some sense there's 937 00:36:04,490 --> 00:36:02,460 also this finished result which is the 938 00:36:06,829 --> 00:36:04,500 sum total of all those decisions right 939 00:36:09,290 --> 00:36:06,839 so try not to think about it in terms of 940 00:36:11,150 --> 00:36:09,300 time because when you do that that's 941 00:36:13,250 --> 00:36:11,160 when it feels like you get robbed of the 942 00:36:14,569 --> 00:36:13,260 sense of free will but that's really a 943 00:36:16,810 --> 00:36:14,579 categorical mistake in terms of how 944 00:36:20,690 --> 00:36:16,820 we're thinking about it 945 00:36:22,250 --> 00:36:20,700 but and I go ahead yeah well I I the one 946 00:36:24,829 --> 00:36:22,260 thing that I like to think about there 947 00:36:27,770 --> 00:36:24,839 is that uh 948 00:36:31,849 --> 00:36:27,780 there's a there's a kind of pleasure of 949 00:36:33,950 --> 00:36:31,859 the experience of time that we have that 950 00:36:35,810 --> 00:36:33,960 we may in fact volunteer to experience 951 00:36:38,329 --> 00:36:35,820 and we've touched on this a little bit 952 00:36:39,890 --> 00:36:38,339 on other episodes but and I don't want 953 00:36:42,349 --> 00:36:39,900 to go too much on a tangent there but 954 00:36:46,609 --> 00:36:42,359 it's possible that some versions of 955 00:36:47,710 --> 00:36:46,619 ourselves do experience reality in that 956 00:36:50,510 --> 00:36:47,720 block 957 00:36:52,430 --> 00:36:50,520 way and determine so that they can kind 958 00:36:54,770 --> 00:36:52,440 of turn the Block in their hand and see 959 00:36:57,109 --> 00:36:54,780 you know any point in time and what is 960 00:37:00,170 --> 00:36:57,119 happening any point in time and that 961 00:37:01,310 --> 00:37:00,180 might be quite frankly uh not very 962 00:37:03,829 --> 00:37:01,320 exciting 963 00:37:06,410 --> 00:37:03,839 um there is almost a thrill to being 964 00:37:09,349 --> 00:37:06,420 embodied and incarnate in in a body that 965 00:37:11,990 --> 00:37:09,359 that has that perception of time and of 966 00:37:15,230 --> 00:37:12,000 the future being uncertain that there is 967 00:37:18,230 --> 00:37:15,240 there real they're real Stakes you know 968 00:37:20,750 --> 00:37:18,240 that that the decisions that we make 969 00:37:22,849 --> 00:37:20,760 they're meaningful they're not just you 970 00:37:24,829 --> 00:37:22,859 know we're not just like robots uh going 971 00:37:26,569 --> 00:37:24,839 about our way there's a way behind the 972 00:37:29,210 --> 00:37:26,579 decisions we make and I think there's 973 00:37:31,910 --> 00:37:29,220 some value to that in the development of 974 00:37:32,750 --> 00:37:31,920 who we are as individuals 975 00:37:34,849 --> 00:37:32,760 um 976 00:37:37,310 --> 00:37:34,859 anyway that that that came to mind as 977 00:37:39,530 --> 00:37:37,320 you talked about that that concept you 978 00:37:41,210 --> 00:37:39,540 know that's a great point and again I 979 00:37:43,790 --> 00:37:41,220 often bring in the the Eastern 980 00:37:45,950 --> 00:37:43,800 spirituality perspective to this 981 00:37:48,349 --> 00:37:45,960 sort of the Buddhist and Hindu kind of 982 00:37:50,150 --> 00:37:48,359 way of thinking about these matters 983 00:37:53,109 --> 00:37:50,160 Emily think again about our friend 984 00:37:55,970 --> 00:37:53,119 Bernardo castrip and his notion of 985 00:37:57,290 --> 00:37:55,980 analytic idealism and this notion that 986 00:37:59,270 --> 00:37:57,300 consciousness 987 00:38:01,190 --> 00:37:59,280 is primary and everything else like 988 00:38:03,530 --> 00:38:01,200 space-time and whatnot is just 989 00:38:04,849 --> 00:38:03,540 derivative of that you could think about 990 00:38:06,829 --> 00:38:04,859 it along the lines of what you just said 991 00:38:09,050 --> 00:38:06,839 about the importance of feeling like we 992 00:38:10,670 --> 00:38:09,060 have skin in the game is that we're like 993 00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:10,680 characters in a play now you might have 994 00:38:14,510 --> 00:38:12,300 Shakespeare who knows fully what happens 995 00:38:17,150 --> 00:38:14,520 in the fullness of the play but for King 996 00:38:19,730 --> 00:38:17,160 Lear the character 997 00:38:21,470 --> 00:38:19,740 the stakes are real because as his 998 00:38:23,150 --> 00:38:21,480 experience as a character 999 00:38:25,130 --> 00:38:23,160 he really has to make decisions that 1000 00:38:27,109 --> 00:38:25,140 have that have consequences right and we 1001 00:38:29,390 --> 00:38:27,119 actually resonate with the play because 1002 00:38:31,609 --> 00:38:29,400 we are able to feel those consequences 1003 00:38:34,130 --> 00:38:31,619 and the real skin in the game that he 1004 00:38:35,150 --> 00:38:34,140 has a weekend uh employ our humanness 1005 00:38:37,310 --> 00:38:35,160 and thinking about what it would be like 1006 00:38:39,470 --> 00:38:37,320 to be in that that position and because 1007 00:38:41,150 --> 00:38:39,480 we have so much common experience as 1008 00:38:42,530 --> 00:38:41,160 humans we can say 1009 00:38:43,910 --> 00:38:42,540 I can relate to that because I know how 1010 00:38:45,470 --> 00:38:43,920 that would feel 1011 00:38:47,450 --> 00:38:45,480 and we're saying that both of those are 1012 00:38:49,130 --> 00:38:47,460 true that from a absolute point of view 1013 00:38:51,290 --> 00:38:49,140 you can say it's all done so even 1014 00:38:53,710 --> 00:38:51,300 outside of the the block Universe notion 1015 00:38:56,750 --> 00:38:53,720 there's a sense in eastern spirituality 1016 00:38:58,370 --> 00:38:56,760 that everything is is is already 1017 00:39:00,410 --> 00:38:58,380 complete as well and everything's 1018 00:39:02,930 --> 00:39:00,420 actually perfect all right and so you 1019 00:39:04,910 --> 00:39:02,940 have this you have this notion there but 1020 00:39:06,770 --> 00:39:04,920 again from a relative point of view you 1021 00:39:09,170 --> 00:39:06,780 have to have meaningful experience that 1022 00:39:11,329 --> 00:39:09,180 has actual failed consequences because 1023 00:39:13,730 --> 00:39:11,339 that's actually what allows for the 1024 00:39:14,990 --> 00:39:13,740 evolution of Consciousness so here the 1025 00:39:17,210 --> 00:39:15,000 point being that 1026 00:39:19,010 --> 00:39:17,220 so it turns on on its head this notion 1027 00:39:20,930 --> 00:39:19,020 that physicalism is actually primary 1028 00:39:23,630 --> 00:39:20,940 right that that physical stuff actually 1029 00:39:25,849 --> 00:39:23,640 is the the ultimate nature of of all 1030 00:39:28,550 --> 00:39:25,859 that is and actually says no those 1031 00:39:30,230 --> 00:39:28,560 things are created in order to create 1032 00:39:32,329 --> 00:39:30,240 these stage plays that allow for the 1033 00:39:33,829 --> 00:39:32,339 evolution of Consciousness in these 1034 00:39:36,890 --> 00:39:33,839 different relative 1035 00:39:38,450 --> 00:39:36,900 uh but still meaningful sort of stage 1036 00:39:39,650 --> 00:39:38,460 plays and so that's what we're talking 1037 00:39:41,210 --> 00:39:39,660 about here 1038 00:39:43,069 --> 00:39:41,220 so there's there's a lot to wrap around 1039 00:39:44,390 --> 00:39:43,079 but I I would just encourage people not 1040 00:39:46,069 --> 00:39:44,400 to 1041 00:39:47,630 --> 00:39:46,079 abandon this just because they don't 1042 00:39:49,370 --> 00:39:47,640 like the feel of not having any kind of 1043 00:39:50,690 --> 00:39:49,380 free will I think that's really is the 1044 00:39:52,609 --> 00:39:50,700 wrong way of looking at it from our 1045 00:39:55,370 --> 00:39:52,619 perspective we do have free will and we 1046 00:39:57,349 --> 00:39:55,380 do have skin in the game 1047 00:40:00,050 --> 00:39:57,359 but when you think about 1048 00:40:01,750 --> 00:40:00,060 how this sits for you 1049 00:40:06,310 --> 00:40:01,760 after what we talked about at this point 1050 00:40:08,450 --> 00:40:06,320 does it feel less miraculous or less 1051 00:40:10,609 --> 00:40:08,460 awe-inspiring to you 1052 00:40:12,290 --> 00:40:10,619 does it answer the question of are we 1053 00:40:13,849 --> 00:40:12,300 alone differently for you when you think 1054 00:40:16,550 --> 00:40:13,859 about the possibility before we get to 1055 00:40:18,710 --> 00:40:16,560 the other hypotheses of this notion that 1056 00:40:20,630 --> 00:40:18,720 these beings on the one hand they're 1057 00:40:22,790 --> 00:40:20,640 connected to us we feel a kind of 1058 00:40:24,710 --> 00:40:22,800 familial connection but it also means 1059 00:40:26,450 --> 00:40:24,720 that they're not necessarily coming from 1060 00:40:28,010 --> 00:40:26,460 Andromeda or 1061 00:40:29,630 --> 00:40:28,020 although we'll get into how that can 1062 00:40:31,310 --> 00:40:29,640 also be the case but assuming for a 1063 00:40:33,730 --> 00:40:31,320 second we take that out of it how does 1064 00:40:36,470 --> 00:40:33,740 it land for you does it feel as as 1065 00:40:38,210 --> 00:40:36,480 awe-inspiring as much of a a real 1066 00:40:40,370 --> 00:40:38,220 changing of a chapter or changing of a 1067 00:40:42,109 --> 00:40:40,380 page or does it seem somehow like it 1068 00:40:45,010 --> 00:40:42,119 brings everything down and becomes less 1069 00:40:48,530 --> 00:40:45,020 rare than it would be otherwise 1070 00:40:51,050 --> 00:40:48,540 you know what it strikes me as strange 1071 00:40:52,970 --> 00:40:51,060 in the way that the future would be 1072 00:40:56,569 --> 00:40:52,980 strange that 1073 00:40:59,210 --> 00:40:56,579 that oftentimes we 1074 00:41:01,790 --> 00:40:59,220 are our Notions of the future are sort 1075 00:41:04,190 --> 00:41:01,800 of easily extractable from where we are 1076 00:41:06,470 --> 00:41:04,200 at the moment like they're not far away 1077 00:41:08,750 --> 00:41:06,480 they're pretty tangential to what 1078 00:41:10,010 --> 00:41:08,760 reality looks like for us in the present 1079 00:41:13,490 --> 00:41:10,020 experience 1080 00:41:17,270 --> 00:41:13,500 but this concept of time travel as a 1081 00:41:21,290 --> 00:41:17,280 real thing uh opens up so many different 1082 00:41:24,170 --> 00:41:21,300 possibilities to a weird future to a 1083 00:41:27,170 --> 00:41:24,180 weird reality that there's something 1084 00:41:29,750 --> 00:41:27,180 that Rings true to me about that that 1085 00:41:31,670 --> 00:41:29,760 that that that in the same way that if I 1086 00:41:34,910 --> 00:41:31,680 were to look back in our own history and 1087 00:41:38,329 --> 00:41:34,920 go okay if I were alive in the first 1088 00:41:40,609 --> 00:41:38,339 century and I were to step into the 21st 1089 00:41:43,130 --> 00:41:40,619 century and just look around and 1090 00:41:46,069 --> 00:41:43,140 interact with the the humans of that day 1091 00:41:49,190 --> 00:41:46,079 it would be weird beyond my ability to 1092 00:41:51,950 --> 00:41:49,200 even comprehend it it would be a very 1093 00:41:54,069 --> 00:41:51,960 strange and discombobulating have to use 1094 00:41:56,750 --> 00:41:54,079 that once in the aluminum frames episode 1095 00:41:59,870 --> 00:41:56,760 experience and and I think that's the 1096 00:42:03,230 --> 00:41:59,880 same feeling that I'm having when I 1097 00:42:06,050 --> 00:42:03,240 entertain this notion that a reality in 1098 00:42:08,770 --> 00:42:06,060 which time travel exists and everything 1099 00:42:12,230 --> 00:42:08,780 that that entails 1100 00:42:16,310 --> 00:42:12,240 you know is fantastically wild and weird 1101 00:42:18,370 --> 00:42:16,320 and strange and amazing and and opens up 1102 00:42:22,490 --> 00:42:18,380 so many different possibility spaces 1103 00:42:24,050 --> 00:42:22,500 that it becomes incredibly exciting 1104 00:42:27,050 --> 00:42:24,060 um at the same time I feel like there's 1105 00:42:30,290 --> 00:42:28,910 I don't know if it's responsibility like 1106 00:42:32,810 --> 00:42:30,300 who's in charge of the time travel 1107 00:42:35,329 --> 00:42:32,820 machines you know who get gets to decide 1108 00:42:37,130 --> 00:42:35,339 who's traveling where and when and what 1109 00:42:40,010 --> 00:42:37,140 they're doing are there more than one 1110 00:42:42,430 --> 00:42:40,020 factions at work there uh once you start 1111 00:42:44,990 --> 00:42:42,440 kind of going off in different timelines 1112 00:42:47,150 --> 00:42:45,000 uh and and depending on how far you're 1113 00:42:49,730 --> 00:42:47,160 going into the past into the future of 1114 00:42:51,230 --> 00:42:49,740 returning to the present etc etc it's 1115 00:42:54,470 --> 00:42:51,240 almost like every time that you make 1116 00:42:56,390 --> 00:42:54,480 that jump a a big change has occurred 1117 00:42:59,630 --> 00:42:56,400 when you return to quote unquote you're 1118 00:43:02,390 --> 00:42:59,640 present such that it it may look alien 1119 00:43:04,870 --> 00:43:02,400 to you in many many different ways and 1120 00:43:08,750 --> 00:43:04,880 that could explain the kind of wide 1121 00:43:11,630 --> 00:43:08,760 variety of experiences that are are in 1122 00:43:14,390 --> 00:43:11,640 the literature not only of beings but of 1123 00:43:16,990 --> 00:43:14,400 behaviors Etc but at the same time they 1124 00:43:20,390 --> 00:43:17,000 have like you said some similar 1125 00:43:24,109 --> 00:43:20,400 qualities and characteristics because 1126 00:43:27,410 --> 00:43:24,119 the Earth is essentially home base 1127 00:43:30,290 --> 00:43:27,420 for all of this it's the Nexus for all 1128 00:43:33,410 --> 00:43:30,300 of this activity uh it holds a special 1129 00:43:36,290 --> 00:43:33,420 place and that is uh pretty neat to 1130 00:43:41,270 --> 00:43:36,300 think about as the Cradle of this 1131 00:43:45,710 --> 00:43:42,710 right I wonder if he even think about it 1132 00:43:47,930 --> 00:43:45,720 in terms of this so so because there is 1133 00:43:50,150 --> 00:43:47,940 just an immense 1134 00:43:51,890 --> 00:43:50,160 spatial structure to the cosmos again 1135 00:43:54,050 --> 00:43:51,900 we're going to get to I think how space 1136 00:43:56,809 --> 00:43:54,060 and time are not ultimately real in some 1137 00:43:59,270 --> 00:43:56,819 sense but the appearance is anyway of a 1138 00:44:00,710 --> 00:43:59,280 of a universe that is so massive that 1139 00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:00,720 actually when we talk about the universe 1140 00:44:04,809 --> 00:44:02,400 we actually should be talking about the 1141 00:44:09,050 --> 00:44:04,819 the observable universe right because 1142 00:44:10,910 --> 00:44:09,060 the universe is so massive that many 1143 00:44:13,250 --> 00:44:10,920 many many aspects of it 1144 00:44:14,809 --> 00:44:13,260 the star systems and galaxies are so far 1145 00:44:16,790 --> 00:44:14,819 away that the light hasn't even had a 1146 00:44:18,530 --> 00:44:16,800 chance to get to us yet since the 1147 00:44:19,790 --> 00:44:18,540 beginning of the cosmos according to the 1148 00:44:22,250 --> 00:44:19,800 the current model 1149 00:44:23,630 --> 00:44:22,260 so that is astonishing even when you 1150 00:44:25,309 --> 00:44:23,640 sort of wrap your human mind around that 1151 00:44:26,870 --> 00:44:25,319 right if someone says well why wouldn't 1152 00:44:28,730 --> 00:44:26,880 I be able to see that far away is 1153 00:44:30,710 --> 00:44:28,740 because they're too dim it's like no 1154 00:44:33,470 --> 00:44:30,720 actually the light hasn't even had 1155 00:44:35,510 --> 00:44:33,480 enough time to get to us to create the 1156 00:44:38,030 --> 00:44:35,520 visual impression of there being a star 1157 00:44:40,069 --> 00:44:38,040 there or a planet right which again is 1158 00:44:42,650 --> 00:44:40,079 really mind-blowing 1159 00:44:44,630 --> 00:44:42,660 but I think we also should reckon with 1160 00:44:47,270 --> 00:44:44,640 some of the common 1161 00:44:49,490 --> 00:44:47,280 complaints that people rise or lift up 1162 00:44:51,290 --> 00:44:49,500 in terms of why time travel couldn't 1163 00:44:53,750 --> 00:44:51,300 happen right so one of them is the the 1164 00:44:54,829 --> 00:44:53,760 grandfather Paradox right this notion 1165 00:44:57,109 --> 00:44:54,839 that 1166 00:44:59,390 --> 00:44:57,119 something seems off here because if you 1167 00:45:01,550 --> 00:44:59,400 go back into the past and kill your 1168 00:45:03,290 --> 00:45:01,560 grandfather before he has the chance to 1169 00:45:05,930 --> 00:45:03,300 meet your grandmother and conceive your 1170 00:45:07,550 --> 00:45:05,940 father how did you ever become born to 1171 00:45:09,950 --> 00:45:07,560 go back and kill your grandfather right 1172 00:45:10,849 --> 00:45:09,960 we have these kinds of things and from 1173 00:45:12,829 --> 00:45:10,859 there 1174 00:45:14,030 --> 00:45:12,839 we have this notion of one of the ways 1175 00:45:16,190 --> 00:45:14,040 that that's dealt with this is this 1176 00:45:17,809 --> 00:45:16,200 notion of the many worlds uh 1177 00:45:20,750 --> 00:45:17,819 interpretation of quantum mechanics 1178 00:45:22,790 --> 00:45:20,760 where we have like multiple parallel 1179 00:45:23,990 --> 00:45:22,800 universes kind of thing and so according 1180 00:45:26,510 --> 00:45:24,000 to this whenever these different 1181 00:45:29,210 --> 00:45:26,520 decisions points are come to that a 1182 00:45:31,430 --> 00:45:29,220 universe kind of splits off from the 1183 00:45:33,950 --> 00:45:31,440 previous one so when you go back and 1184 00:45:35,270 --> 00:45:33,960 change time then what you basically do 1185 00:45:37,670 --> 00:45:35,280 is you split off and create a new 1186 00:45:39,410 --> 00:45:37,680 timeline is the way it goes and there's 1187 00:45:42,069 --> 00:45:39,420 actually no 1188 00:45:44,690 --> 00:45:42,079 um issue with that no contradiction 1189 00:45:46,250 --> 00:45:44,700 because you did exist in that timeline 1190 00:45:48,890 --> 00:45:46,260 so then from then on in that new 1191 00:45:51,050 --> 00:45:48,900 timeline you exist even though you are 1192 00:45:53,750 --> 00:45:51,060 the product of another timeline that 1193 00:45:55,550 --> 00:45:53,760 came in and changed this one course and 1194 00:45:57,170 --> 00:45:55,560 just to be clear on what the many worlds 1195 00:45:58,910 --> 00:45:57,180 interpretation of quantum mechanics is I 1196 00:46:00,650 --> 00:45:58,920 want to read that 1197 00:46:02,450 --> 00:46:00,660 the many world's interpretation of 1198 00:46:05,510 --> 00:46:02,460 quantum mechanics holds that there are 1199 00:46:08,210 --> 00:46:05,520 many worlds which exist in parallel at 1200 00:46:09,890 --> 00:46:08,220 the same space and time as our own the 1201 00:46:12,349 --> 00:46:09,900 existence of other worlds makes it 1202 00:46:14,990 --> 00:46:12,359 possible to remove Randomness and action 1203 00:46:17,150 --> 00:46:15,000 at a distance from quantum theory and 1204 00:46:18,829 --> 00:46:17,160 thus from all physics 1205 00:46:20,569 --> 00:46:18,839 so again we talked about this before we 1206 00:46:22,130 --> 00:46:20,579 went on the Air Tonight number one point 1207 00:46:23,870 --> 00:46:22,140 we're going to make is that there's zero 1208 00:46:26,210 --> 00:46:23,880 empirical evidence for these multiple 1209 00:46:28,790 --> 00:46:26,220 universes this is a a notion that was 1210 00:46:31,250 --> 00:46:28,800 thought up to explain some of the 1211 00:46:33,470 --> 00:46:31,260 strangeness we see with quantum theory 1212 00:46:37,190 --> 00:46:33,480 and when we look at our universe 1213 00:46:38,390 --> 00:46:37,200 seemingly so custom crafted for life to 1214 00:46:40,790 --> 00:46:38,400 evolve 1215 00:46:43,490 --> 00:46:40,800 that seems to some people would suggest 1216 00:46:45,650 --> 00:46:43,500 hint at some sort of source or creator 1217 00:46:47,210 --> 00:46:45,660 that set up the conditions in just such 1218 00:46:48,829 --> 00:46:47,220 a way that it would be conducive to life 1219 00:46:51,349 --> 00:46:48,839 eventually forming and eventually 1220 00:46:52,970 --> 00:46:51,359 Advance life evolving like us so one of 1221 00:46:54,829 --> 00:46:52,980 the ways this is dealt with in the many 1222 00:46:57,290 --> 00:46:54,839 worlds interpretation of quantum 1223 00:46:59,510 --> 00:46:57,300 mechanics is that no we just happen to 1224 00:47:01,430 --> 00:46:59,520 be of course in the universe which is 1225 00:47:03,950 --> 00:47:01,440 the one example of one where that did 1226 00:47:06,050 --> 00:47:03,960 become possible but there's Myriad other 1227 00:47:07,790 --> 00:47:06,060 kinds of universes parallel to this one 1228 00:47:10,250 --> 00:47:07,800 where the physics is all slightly 1229 00:47:12,470 --> 00:47:10,260 different and that we would never have 1230 00:47:14,210 --> 00:47:12,480 Arisen nor would any life right because 1231 00:47:15,470 --> 00:47:14,220 one of the things is talked about is 1232 00:47:17,510 --> 00:47:15,480 that if even there was a little bit 1233 00:47:19,490 --> 00:47:17,520 higher concentration of oxygen in our 1234 00:47:21,109 --> 00:47:19,500 atmosphere the planet would burn up 1235 00:47:22,790 --> 00:47:21,119 right but you would never have fires 1236 00:47:24,890 --> 00:47:22,800 going out little things that seem so 1237 00:47:26,690 --> 00:47:24,900 custom crafted so this notion of the 1238 00:47:29,270 --> 00:47:26,700 many worlds interpretation was a way of 1239 00:47:31,970 --> 00:47:29,280 getting around that but again the key 1240 00:47:33,650 --> 00:47:31,980 there is that really it arose as a way 1241 00:47:36,470 --> 00:47:33,660 to deal with some of the strangeness 1242 00:47:38,030 --> 00:47:36,480 that was being empirically observed with 1243 00:47:40,370 --> 00:47:38,040 quantum mechanics and we had zero 1244 00:47:43,069 --> 00:47:40,380 empirical evidence that this these many 1245 00:47:44,510 --> 00:47:43,079 worlds actually exist so 1246 00:47:45,890 --> 00:47:44,520 what do you think about that when you 1247 00:47:48,770 --> 00:47:45,900 when you try to wrestle with that and 1248 00:47:52,550 --> 00:47:48,780 and time travel well I've never really 1249 00:47:55,670 --> 00:47:52,560 liked the many worlds uh explanation I 1250 00:47:57,589 --> 00:47:55,680 like it from a romantic notion in the 1251 00:48:00,290 --> 00:47:57,599 sense that it's kind of 1252 00:48:02,329 --> 00:48:00,300 cool to think about every time you or I 1253 00:48:04,190 --> 00:48:02,339 are faced with a decision there's a 1254 00:48:06,230 --> 00:48:04,200 version of URI somewhere that made the 1255 00:48:09,710 --> 00:48:06,240 other decision and is living 1256 00:48:12,770 --> 00:48:09,720 a different life path from that juncture 1257 00:48:14,569 --> 00:48:12,780 and so where that is sort of a fun 1258 00:48:15,950 --> 00:48:14,579 notion to entertain for me is just 1259 00:48:17,270 --> 00:48:15,960 thinking about the things that in your 1260 00:48:18,650 --> 00:48:17,280 own life where you look back and like 1261 00:48:20,450 --> 00:48:18,660 what if I did this what if I did that 1262 00:48:23,930 --> 00:48:20,460 and I think well there's a version of 1263 00:48:27,290 --> 00:48:23,940 Nathan somewhere out in in another world 1264 00:48:29,450 --> 00:48:27,300 that is living the consequences of that 1265 00:48:31,609 --> 00:48:29,460 choice and uh and we'll just let that 1266 00:48:34,910 --> 00:48:31,619 Nathan enjoy the experience that it's 1267 00:48:37,430 --> 00:48:34,920 having parallel to my own right 1268 00:48:39,770 --> 00:48:37,440 um so from a romantic sense I think it's 1269 00:48:41,569 --> 00:48:39,780 kind of an exciting way to look at 1270 00:48:43,550 --> 00:48:41,579 things but I never really found that it 1271 00:48:46,010 --> 00:48:43,560 made a lot of sense to me just from a 1272 00:48:49,370 --> 00:48:46,020 kind of explanatory power or explanatory 1273 00:48:52,130 --> 00:48:49,380 model of of how things work 1274 00:48:53,870 --> 00:48:52,140 um you know but going from there I guess 1275 00:48:55,849 --> 00:48:53,880 I I naturally kind of think about the 1276 00:48:58,430 --> 00:48:55,859 interdimensional aspect you know how 1277 00:48:59,990 --> 00:48:58,440 does that sort of fit in with our we've 1278 00:49:03,349 --> 00:49:00,000 talked about before this notion of an 1279 00:49:05,750 --> 00:49:03,359 interdimensional uh hypothesis that um 1280 00:49:07,849 --> 00:49:05,760 and and the many others as well of 1281 00:49:10,970 --> 00:49:07,859 beings from all kinds of different 1282 00:49:12,589 --> 00:49:10,980 places other than just our our temporal 1283 00:49:15,130 --> 00:49:12,599 frame 1284 00:49:17,809 --> 00:49:15,140 exactly that's uh something again 1285 00:49:19,130 --> 00:49:17,819 Bernardo Castro will point out he really 1286 00:49:21,410 --> 00:49:19,140 likes to hit on this fact that there's 1287 00:49:22,730 --> 00:49:21,420 zero empirical evidence for the many 1288 00:49:26,210 --> 00:49:22,740 world's interpretation of quantum 1289 00:49:30,170 --> 00:49:26,220 mechanics and again part of that 1290 00:49:32,150 --> 00:49:30,180 notion is fueled by this desire to make 1291 00:49:34,370 --> 00:49:32,160 physical stuff 1292 00:49:36,050 --> 00:49:34,380 the ultimate nature of reality right so 1293 00:49:39,050 --> 00:49:36,060 that the way that you handle that is to 1294 00:49:40,670 --> 00:49:39,060 say well the way we can make sense of 1295 00:49:42,650 --> 00:49:40,680 this is that basically when you have a 1296 00:49:43,970 --> 00:49:42,660 Quantum experiment where two 1297 00:49:46,609 --> 00:49:43,980 possibilities exist or multiple 1298 00:49:49,190 --> 00:49:46,619 possibilities actually what happens but 1299 00:49:52,190 --> 00:49:49,200 we're not aware of it is that all 1300 00:49:56,329 --> 00:49:54,290 you know possibilities 1301 00:49:58,250 --> 00:49:56,339 are fulfilled in different universes 1302 00:50:00,410 --> 00:49:58,260 that's basically the notion there that 1303 00:50:02,510 --> 00:50:00,420 if some could be heads or tails every 1304 00:50:04,010 --> 00:50:02,520 time you flip a coin there's one reality 1305 00:50:06,250 --> 00:50:04,020 created where it was ahead one reality 1306 00:50:09,050 --> 00:50:06,260 where it was a tail and you just imagine 1307 00:50:11,109 --> 00:50:09,060 the notion is that scales out for every 1308 00:50:14,089 --> 00:50:11,119 single decision point that every 1309 00:50:15,530 --> 00:50:14,099 possible eventuality does become a 1310 00:50:18,290 --> 00:50:15,540 separate Universe basically but again 1311 00:50:20,390 --> 00:50:18,300 it's a tidy way of dealing with some 1312 00:50:23,089 --> 00:50:20,400 complexity but again we have zero 1313 00:50:24,470 --> 00:50:23,099 empirical evidence for it and bernardo's 1314 00:50:26,569 --> 00:50:24,480 point would be that 1315 00:50:28,790 --> 00:50:26,579 it also hinges on this notion that 1316 00:50:31,490 --> 00:50:28,800 physical reality is the ultimate nature 1317 00:50:33,710 --> 00:50:31,500 of reality but actually if Consciousness 1318 00:50:36,530 --> 00:50:33,720 is the substrate which gives rise to 1319 00:50:37,490 --> 00:50:36,540 what appears like physical reality then 1320 00:50:38,990 --> 00:50:37,500 you could think about different 1321 00:50:41,210 --> 00:50:39,000 dimensions more like different 1322 00:50:45,290 --> 00:50:41,220 mindscapes or mind spaces right 1323 00:50:47,690 --> 00:50:45,300 different dreams that beings exist in 1324 00:50:49,549 --> 00:50:47,700 almost like you have an ultimate mind 1325 00:50:52,790 --> 00:50:49,559 in which these different dreams and 1326 00:50:54,770 --> 00:50:52,800 Visions are are imagined and as soon as 1327 00:50:56,390 --> 00:50:54,780 that happens then you have a reality 1328 00:50:59,270 --> 00:50:56,400 that reflects that and you have beings 1329 00:51:00,710 --> 00:50:59,280 that have the appearance of of of what 1330 00:51:02,809 --> 00:51:00,720 feels like a physical reality this 1331 00:51:04,790 --> 00:51:02,819 relates to what I've said before where 1332 00:51:06,470 --> 00:51:04,800 I've had lucid dreams 1333 00:51:08,510 --> 00:51:06,480 where I 1334 00:51:10,490 --> 00:51:08,520 become Lucid in them meaning that you 1335 00:51:13,430 --> 00:51:10,500 recognize that you're in a dream 1336 00:51:16,190 --> 00:51:13,440 and I've gone about that world trying to 1337 00:51:18,589 --> 00:51:16,200 see how physical it feels in comparison 1338 00:51:20,990 --> 00:51:18,599 to this waking reality and I've not been 1339 00:51:23,150 --> 00:51:21,000 able to distinguish any way of knowing 1340 00:51:25,609 --> 00:51:23,160 that that is actually just a Dreamscape 1341 00:51:28,010 --> 00:51:25,619 and not quote unquote the real world I 1342 00:51:30,890 --> 00:51:28,020 can as I said before rub my palm up 1343 00:51:32,750 --> 00:51:30,900 against a rough brick wall and feel the 1344 00:51:34,609 --> 00:51:32,760 tearing of my skin I can get down and 1345 00:51:36,230 --> 00:51:34,619 smell the grass and almost like feel 1346 00:51:38,270 --> 00:51:36,240 like myself having an allergic reaction 1347 00:51:41,089 --> 00:51:38,280 from allergies 1348 00:51:42,770 --> 00:51:41,099 and I can see like microscopically all 1349 00:51:44,390 --> 00:51:42,780 of the the different elements of the 1350 00:51:48,230 --> 00:51:44,400 soil and little bugs walking across the 1351 00:51:50,809 --> 00:51:48,240 grass so it feels completely consistent 1352 00:51:52,730 --> 00:51:50,819 and coherent as a physical reality so 1353 00:51:54,710 --> 00:51:52,740 the notion there again is that once 1354 00:51:56,450 --> 00:51:54,720 you've had that experience you come back 1355 00:51:57,770 --> 00:51:56,460 to this one and you go 1356 00:52:00,170 --> 00:51:57,780 if I can't 1357 00:52:01,670 --> 00:52:00,180 in any empirical way based on what I'm 1358 00:52:03,589 --> 00:52:01,680 actually trying in my own experiments 1359 00:52:05,870 --> 00:52:03,599 demonstrate that that's a Dreamscape and 1360 00:52:07,849 --> 00:52:05,880 not a physical world then how can I do 1361 00:52:10,849 --> 00:52:07,859 that here any better and I really can't 1362 00:52:14,270 --> 00:52:10,859 so this really makes me think about 1363 00:52:15,890 --> 00:52:14,280 about this and that I I really do think 1364 00:52:16,849 --> 00:52:15,900 the way we think about space and time is 1365 00:52:20,210 --> 00:52:16,859 different when we have this 1366 00:52:22,309 --> 00:52:20,220 Consciousness as primary piece and I do 1367 00:52:24,770 --> 00:52:22,319 want to get into the fact that 1368 00:52:27,349 --> 00:52:24,780 space-time as we've said before 1369 00:52:30,109 --> 00:52:27,359 according to Nima or Kani Hamed often 1370 00:52:31,250 --> 00:52:30,119 quoted by Donald Hoffman SpaceTime is 1371 00:52:33,109 --> 00:52:31,260 doomed 1372 00:52:35,049 --> 00:52:33,119 so let's let's unpack this for a little 1373 00:52:38,089 --> 00:52:35,059 bit so the notion here is not that 1374 00:52:40,190 --> 00:52:38,099 space-time is going to blow up what he 1375 00:52:43,130 --> 00:52:40,200 means is that as a model as an 1376 00:52:45,710 --> 00:52:43,140 explanatory model for reality it is 1377 00:52:48,589 --> 00:52:45,720 already been shown to be untenable we 1378 00:52:50,809 --> 00:52:48,599 already have enough evidence data math 1379 00:52:53,150 --> 00:52:50,819 the implications of the math to suggest 1380 00:52:55,250 --> 00:52:53,160 that there must be a reality that is 1381 00:52:56,630 --> 00:52:55,260 deeper than what we perceive as 1382 00:52:58,730 --> 00:52:56,640 space-time and things like quantum 1383 00:53:01,309 --> 00:52:58,740 theory and from this deeper structure 1384 00:53:03,470 --> 00:53:01,319 you get the derivative appearances of 1385 00:53:06,710 --> 00:53:03,480 things like space-time and quantum 1386 00:53:09,349 --> 00:53:06,720 theory so what we're seeing here and I 1387 00:53:12,049 --> 00:53:09,359 think this is really key is that we have 1388 00:53:14,390 --> 00:53:12,059 to remember that space time if it's not 1389 00:53:17,210 --> 00:53:14,400 foundational if it's actually derivative 1390 00:53:18,890 --> 00:53:17,220 of some deeper structure then these 1391 00:53:20,210 --> 00:53:18,900 beings might be aware of the deeper 1392 00:53:22,309 --> 00:53:20,220 structure there's a lot of evidence that 1393 00:53:25,609 --> 00:53:22,319 they actually are they often do say to 1394 00:53:27,349 --> 00:53:25,619 experiencers add the t's contactees that 1395 00:53:29,150 --> 00:53:27,359 space-time is not really real the time 1396 00:53:33,950 --> 00:53:29,160 is not really real that our experience 1397 00:53:35,990 --> 00:53:33,960 of of living is largely a myth an 1398 00:53:38,150 --> 00:53:36,000 evolutionary derived myth according to 1399 00:53:41,510 --> 00:53:38,160 Donald Hoffman and often people are 1400 00:53:43,130 --> 00:53:41,520 taken by these beings into a realm that 1401 00:53:45,410 --> 00:53:43,140 seems to be outside of space-time 1402 00:53:47,809 --> 00:53:45,420 altogether now of course that's hard for 1403 00:53:49,910 --> 00:53:47,819 us to reconcile or reckon with because 1404 00:53:52,130 --> 00:53:49,920 we most of us have not had that 1405 00:53:53,809 --> 00:53:52,140 experience although I think even in 1406 00:53:55,670 --> 00:53:53,819 psychedelic Journeys you can often have 1407 00:53:57,410 --> 00:53:55,680 those kinds of experiences 1408 00:53:58,670 --> 00:53:57,420 in their death experiences you have 1409 00:54:00,049 --> 00:53:58,680 those kind of experiences and out of 1410 00:54:01,370 --> 00:54:00,059 body experiences you have those kind of 1411 00:54:04,309 --> 00:54:01,380 experiences 1412 00:54:06,470 --> 00:54:04,319 so we also have people have para you 1413 00:54:09,230 --> 00:54:06,480 know parapsychological kind of effects 1414 00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:09,240 like telepathy and precognition which 1415 00:54:14,690 --> 00:54:11,880 again seemed to be happening outside the 1416 00:54:17,230 --> 00:54:14,700 bounds of space-time as we understand it 1417 00:54:18,910 --> 00:54:17,240 but the notion here is that think about 1418 00:54:25,730 --> 00:54:18,920 a 1419 00:54:27,950 --> 00:54:25,740 construct 1420 00:54:29,450 --> 00:54:27,960 so we may see and some people have even 1421 00:54:30,890 --> 00:54:29,460 suggested that when we see some of these 1422 00:54:33,049 --> 00:54:30,900 objects in the sky they seem to be 1423 00:54:34,730 --> 00:54:33,059 changing shape it may be not because 1424 00:54:36,410 --> 00:54:34,740 they're actually changing shape but but 1425 00:54:38,750 --> 00:54:36,420 that's what the way it appears to us 1426 00:54:40,849 --> 00:54:38,760 than a three-dimensional construct plus 1427 00:54:43,370 --> 00:54:40,859 one for time when you have a higher 1428 00:54:45,530 --> 00:54:43,380 dimensional object being translated into 1429 00:54:48,470 --> 00:54:45,540 a lower dimensional frame I know this is 1430 00:54:50,690 --> 00:54:48,480 getting super complex but I've raised 1431 00:54:52,250 --> 00:54:50,700 this to point out that they may be 1432 00:54:54,589 --> 00:54:52,260 actually operating with those different 1433 00:54:57,829 --> 00:54:54,599 and higher number of dimensions in play 1434 00:55:00,170 --> 00:54:57,839 and to us the way it looks to us the 1435 00:55:03,049 --> 00:55:00,180 appearance is of beings moving through 1436 00:55:06,069 --> 00:55:03,059 what we perceive as space and time 1437 00:55:12,650 --> 00:55:08,750 where do I begin here all right so I 1438 00:55:14,030 --> 00:55:12,660 love that uh I love that um I love the 1439 00:55:16,370 --> 00:55:14,040 complexity of it 1440 00:55:18,890 --> 00:55:16,380 um but I I I'm curious right I'm curious 1441 00:55:22,430 --> 00:55:18,900 about whether or not for example if if 1442 00:55:24,770 --> 00:55:22,440 we break this time travel to crack this 1443 00:55:27,890 --> 00:55:24,780 problem and they're able to do that to 1444 00:55:30,049 --> 00:55:27,900 travel through time are we at that point 1445 00:55:32,630 --> 00:55:30,059 also kind of breaking through the veil 1446 00:55:35,329 --> 00:55:32,640 are we breaking through the illusion of 1447 00:55:36,829 --> 00:55:35,339 the reality that we think you know that 1448 00:55:39,589 --> 00:55:36,839 we just talked about isn't really real 1449 00:55:42,890 --> 00:55:39,599 but the illusion of space-time so are we 1450 00:55:44,930 --> 00:55:42,900 piercing that uh you know construct in a 1451 00:55:47,870 --> 00:55:44,940 way and then in that in in that 1452 00:55:49,910 --> 00:55:47,880 breakthrough we're we're then at that 1453 00:55:52,790 --> 00:55:49,920 point interacting with aspects of 1454 00:55:56,150 --> 00:55:52,800 reality that we have been at up until 1455 00:55:58,309 --> 00:55:56,160 that point completely blind to right so 1456 00:56:01,190 --> 00:55:58,319 we're interacting with other entities 1457 00:56:04,010 --> 00:56:01,200 that may exist outside of space-time 1458 00:56:07,309 --> 00:56:04,020 that have already similarly cracked that 1459 00:56:09,589 --> 00:56:07,319 kind of time travel uh Modus operand Day 1460 00:56:12,170 --> 00:56:09,599 uh they may have their own technology 1461 00:56:14,510 --> 00:56:12,180 they may have their own uh in advanced 1462 00:56:18,890 --> 00:56:14,520 Consciousness kind of technology that we 1463 00:56:20,450 --> 00:56:18,900 don't have everything kind of becomes uh 1464 00:56:21,670 --> 00:56:20,460 I don't know for whatever reason I think 1465 00:56:25,549 --> 00:56:21,680 of this like 1466 00:56:27,950 --> 00:56:25,559 Galactic Nexus Gathering Place of all 1467 00:56:30,130 --> 00:56:27,960 these different possibilities uh and 1468 00:56:33,650 --> 00:56:30,140 ideas and exchange of information 1469 00:56:36,170 --> 00:56:33,660 uh and it once we can enter into that 1470 00:56:39,230 --> 00:56:36,180 space and and obtain any of those 1471 00:56:41,990 --> 00:56:39,240 different uh Notions that we become 1472 00:56:43,910 --> 00:56:42,000 present to those new realities they 1473 00:56:47,690 --> 00:56:43,920 become a part of us they become a part 1474 00:56:49,970 --> 00:56:47,700 of our human uh descendants and and they 1475 00:56:52,069 --> 00:56:49,980 incorporate those realities into who 1476 00:56:55,010 --> 00:56:52,079 they are and then they're bringing that 1477 00:56:57,770 --> 00:56:55,020 with them as they come back to the time 1478 00:57:01,250 --> 00:56:57,780 that they left or go back further in 1479 00:57:03,710 --> 00:57:01,260 time uh to to their ancestors 1480 00:57:05,870 --> 00:57:03,720 and you can see how just that the any 1481 00:57:07,790 --> 00:57:05,880 interaction at that point like if you 1482 00:57:10,130 --> 00:57:07,800 left today and you left on a time travel 1483 00:57:11,870 --> 00:57:10,140 Mission and came back and interacted 1484 00:57:13,130 --> 00:57:11,880 with me you would have encountered 1485 00:57:15,470 --> 00:57:13,140 things and would be a completely 1486 00:57:18,170 --> 00:57:15,480 different person than the person I know 1487 00:57:20,270 --> 00:57:18,180 you to be now and and if we enter into 1488 00:57:22,010 --> 00:57:20,280 that equation that you might interact 1489 00:57:24,349 --> 00:57:22,020 with beings that exist outside of the 1490 00:57:27,890 --> 00:57:24,359 space-time construct or beings that 1491 00:57:30,290 --> 00:57:27,900 exist in other worlds etc etc you might 1492 00:57:31,970 --> 00:57:30,300 not even look like Darren anymore you 1493 00:57:33,770 --> 00:57:31,980 know you might you might be augmented in 1494 00:57:36,710 --> 00:57:33,780 ways that that would be you know 1495 00:57:38,990 --> 00:57:36,720 completely alien to me and interact with 1496 00:57:41,690 --> 00:57:39,000 me in ways that also are completely 1497 00:57:43,609 --> 00:57:41,700 alien I you may have forgotten how to be 1498 00:57:45,770 --> 00:57:43,619 you know the human Darren that I know 1499 00:57:47,450 --> 00:57:45,780 and maybe somebody uh totally different 1500 00:57:49,849 --> 00:57:47,460 obviously I'm chasing a lot of rabbits 1501 00:57:53,089 --> 00:57:49,859 here but I'm trying to do that because I 1502 00:57:56,270 --> 00:57:53,099 think it illustrates some of the uh 1503 00:57:58,250 --> 00:57:56,280 possibilities that become present once 1504 00:58:01,910 --> 00:57:58,260 you entertain the notion that this is 1505 00:58:04,250 --> 00:58:01,920 this may in fact be real that it does 1506 00:58:05,990 --> 00:58:04,260 then help us look at some of the 1507 00:58:08,150 --> 00:58:06,000 experiences that we've heard about and 1508 00:58:10,670 --> 00:58:08,160 say oh well I mean that this could 1509 00:58:13,609 --> 00:58:10,680 explain those that this could if we if 1510 00:58:16,670 --> 00:58:13,619 we take out the the Sci-Fi right which 1511 00:58:19,430 --> 00:58:16,680 we which is such a big part of and and 1512 00:58:21,829 --> 00:58:19,440 colors and influences so much of how we 1513 00:58:24,530 --> 00:58:21,839 think about ufology if we take out that 1514 00:58:27,230 --> 00:58:24,540 the Sci-Fi elements and just instead 1515 00:58:29,270 --> 00:58:27,240 think about it from the vantage point of 1516 00:58:33,309 --> 00:58:29,280 our the trajectory that we're on right 1517 00:58:37,549 --> 00:58:33,319 now and what may happen once we crack 1518 00:58:39,710 --> 00:58:37,559 this space-time construct entirely then 1519 00:58:42,650 --> 00:58:39,720 everything like starts to look a lot 1520 00:58:44,270 --> 00:58:42,660 closer to home and as you said at the 1521 00:58:47,089 --> 00:58:44,280 beginning just 1522 00:58:50,030 --> 00:58:47,099 you know the signs are there right so 1523 00:58:51,470 --> 00:58:50,040 it's definitely hard to ignore 1524 00:58:53,630 --> 00:58:51,480 like you said there's so many rabbit 1525 00:58:55,910 --> 00:58:53,640 holes to chase here 1526 00:58:59,089 --> 00:58:55,920 let's grab a couple more 1527 00:59:00,950 --> 00:58:59,099 let's think about the common 1528 00:59:02,690 --> 00:59:00,960 ly described 1529 00:59:04,970 --> 00:59:02,700 way that abductions and contact 1530 00:59:07,569 --> 00:59:04,980 experience often happen and let's think 1531 00:59:10,609 --> 00:59:07,579 about them from the perspective of this 1532 00:59:12,170 --> 00:59:10,619 extrateral model 1533 00:59:13,430 --> 00:59:12,180 there are several things about the 1534 00:59:16,370 --> 00:59:13,440 nature of the experiences themselves 1535 00:59:17,990 --> 00:59:16,380 that lend well to this to this model 1536 00:59:20,150 --> 00:59:18,000 one of them being that they can 1537 00:59:22,069 --> 00:59:20,160 communicate with us at all there's one 1538 00:59:24,829 --> 00:59:22,079 point in the book where 1539 00:59:26,870 --> 00:59:24,839 he makes the point that certain insects 1540 00:59:28,130 --> 00:59:26,880 you know like vibrated a certain 1541 00:59:30,470 --> 00:59:28,140 frequency and that's how they 1542 00:59:33,109 --> 00:59:30,480 communicate with each other 1543 00:59:35,089 --> 00:59:33,119 and yet not only do they communicate 1544 00:59:37,069 --> 00:59:35,099 with us but they can communicate with us 1545 00:59:39,230 --> 00:59:37,079 in a way that sounds like English to us 1546 00:59:41,329 --> 00:59:39,240 or Mandarin if we're you know from a 1547 00:59:43,730 --> 00:59:41,339 different background and on top of that 1548 00:59:46,130 --> 00:59:43,740 what's interesting if you think about it 1549 00:59:49,490 --> 00:59:46,140 yes they have telepathic capacities that 1550 00:59:52,849 --> 00:59:49,500 make ours pale in comparison but we 1551 00:59:54,829 --> 00:59:52,859 still have enough of a telepathic root 1552 00:59:56,390 --> 00:59:54,839 that we can actually understand them and 1553 00:59:57,349 --> 00:59:56,400 they can read our thoughts too which 1554 01:00:00,589 --> 00:59:57,359 again 1555 01:00:02,210 --> 01:00:00,599 speaks to perhaps something that is 1556 01:00:05,329 --> 01:00:02,220 innate to all of us and they've just 1557 01:00:09,289 --> 01:00:05,339 learned to augment that capacity either 1558 01:00:11,210 --> 01:00:09,299 through technology or through practice 1559 01:00:12,829 --> 01:00:11,220 over centuries and centuries and 1560 01:00:14,510 --> 01:00:12,839 Millennia they get to the point where 1561 01:00:15,589 --> 01:00:14,520 that becomes their dominant way of 1562 01:00:18,289 --> 01:00:15,599 communicating 1563 01:00:19,970 --> 01:00:18,299 and this also relates to 1564 01:00:24,230 --> 01:00:19,980 on the one hand we hear about them 1565 01:00:26,630 --> 01:00:24,240 seeming to be less less I have a more 1566 01:00:27,710 --> 01:00:26,640 narrow range of emotional expression 1567 01:00:30,530 --> 01:00:27,720 right 1568 01:00:32,930 --> 01:00:30,540 if you have learned to communicate 1569 01:00:35,089 --> 01:00:32,940 telepathically you don't need to 1570 01:00:38,210 --> 01:00:35,099 have this wide range of facial 1571 01:00:40,849 --> 01:00:38,220 expressions or tone of voice or body 1572 01:00:43,329 --> 01:00:40,859 language even because I can know exactly 1573 01:00:46,069 --> 01:00:43,339 the fullness of what you're experiencing 1574 01:00:49,130 --> 01:00:46,079 directly why would I need all these 1575 01:00:52,010 --> 01:00:49,140 other kind of cumbersome ways of only 1576 01:00:53,569 --> 01:00:52,020 ever giving a vague impression really of 1577 01:00:55,730 --> 01:00:53,579 what's going on for Nathan but if I can 1578 01:00:57,770 --> 01:00:55,740 read right from Nathan's source code so 1579 01:00:59,750 --> 01:00:57,780 to speak then I have a complete 1580 01:01:03,470 --> 01:00:59,760 understanding and you can see how then 1581 01:01:05,030 --> 01:01:03,480 once that became into the four then you 1582 01:01:07,609 --> 01:01:05,040 would slowly have this Evolution away 1583 01:01:09,049 --> 01:01:07,619 from the ability to use facial 1584 01:01:11,329 --> 01:01:09,059 expression to the same degree and those 1585 01:01:15,289 --> 01:01:11,339 kind of things and you would have an 1586 01:01:17,270 --> 01:01:15,299 atrophy kind of a development around 1587 01:01:19,130 --> 01:01:17,280 vocal cords and things like that right 1588 01:01:21,049 --> 01:01:19,140 and we do see this this thing when we 1589 01:01:22,910 --> 01:01:21,059 think about it right they have 1590 01:01:24,890 --> 01:01:22,920 much smaller mouths almost like they're 1591 01:01:27,109 --> 01:01:24,900 barely a slit for a mouth that's almost 1592 01:01:29,210 --> 01:01:27,119 like the evidence that we see in The 1593 01:01:32,569 --> 01:01:29,220 evolutionary chain where sometimes we 1594 01:01:36,230 --> 01:01:32,579 see these in between kind of 1595 01:01:38,750 --> 01:01:36,240 creatures that seem to have a left over 1596 01:01:40,609 --> 01:01:38,760 version of some sort of feature that was 1597 01:01:42,410 --> 01:01:40,619 useful in the past but really they're on 1598 01:01:44,210 --> 01:01:42,420 their way to a new form and that that 1599 01:01:45,530 --> 01:01:44,220 that one feature is not really helpful 1600 01:01:47,270 --> 01:01:45,540 anymore it just seems to be hanging 1601 01:01:48,890 --> 01:01:47,280 around not doing much of anything you 1602 01:01:51,530 --> 01:01:48,900 could argue that the mouth is something 1603 01:01:53,510 --> 01:01:51,540 like that for a gray alien that perhaps 1604 01:01:55,609 --> 01:01:53,520 they still use it but it's a much narrow 1605 01:01:57,470 --> 01:01:55,619 range of uses than what we have when we 1606 01:02:00,109 --> 01:01:57,480 have to use it to communicate vocally 1607 01:02:03,770 --> 01:02:00,119 and to consume food there's a lot of 1608 01:02:06,049 --> 01:02:03,780 talk about them either consuming liquids 1609 01:02:08,030 --> 01:02:06,059 to get their nutrition which again you 1610 01:02:10,730 --> 01:02:08,040 wouldn't have to have teeth structure 1611 01:02:12,109 --> 01:02:10,740 right to chew up things and sometimes 1612 01:02:14,630 --> 01:02:12,119 there's even Notions in the literature 1613 01:02:16,549 --> 01:02:14,640 that they can basically apply this kind 1614 01:02:17,990 --> 01:02:16,559 of liquid or cream to their bodies and 1615 01:02:20,150 --> 01:02:18,000 just like absorb it through their skin 1616 01:02:22,250 --> 01:02:20,160 directly which again if you think about 1617 01:02:24,410 --> 01:02:22,260 it that's a possible evolutionary Trend 1618 01:02:27,530 --> 01:02:24,420 that we might eventually adopt as a way 1619 01:02:30,230 --> 01:02:27,540 to sort of take in nutrition 1620 01:02:32,690 --> 01:02:30,240 so again when you start thinking about 1621 01:02:34,730 --> 01:02:32,700 these things it makes a lot of sense of 1622 01:02:36,589 --> 01:02:34,740 course another huge one is the 1623 01:02:39,109 --> 01:02:36,599 hybridization program 1624 01:02:41,690 --> 01:02:39,119 this is a really compelling data point 1625 01:02:44,150 --> 01:02:41,700 because we know that we can't just go 1626 01:02:45,349 --> 01:02:44,160 and say hey be cool to like mix a frog 1627 01:02:47,089 --> 01:02:45,359 and a chicken 1628 01:02:49,370 --> 01:02:47,099 now let's make them mate and see what we 1629 01:02:52,370 --> 01:02:49,380 end up with 1630 01:02:54,829 --> 01:02:52,380 now you could argue that once you have a 1631 01:02:55,970 --> 01:02:54,839 an alien species that has reached a 1632 01:02:57,770 --> 01:02:55,980 certain kind of 1633 01:03:00,410 --> 01:02:57,780 technological development that perhaps 1634 01:03:02,150 --> 01:03:00,420 they could cause these mutations and mix 1635 01:03:05,030 --> 01:03:02,160 together Gene pools 1636 01:03:06,950 --> 01:03:05,040 that's possible but often in the 1637 01:03:09,289 --> 01:03:06,960 literature it's not just these kind of 1638 01:03:12,170 --> 01:03:09,299 test tube genetic experiments but 1639 01:03:15,349 --> 01:03:12,180 actually full-on mating sessions where a 1640 01:03:17,990 --> 01:03:15,359 human being is asked to mate with some 1641 01:03:20,030 --> 01:03:18,000 sort of other humanoid kind of being 1642 01:03:22,309 --> 01:03:20,040 and again you just can't do that with a 1643 01:03:23,750 --> 01:03:22,319 frog and a chicken you can only do it 1644 01:03:25,730 --> 01:03:23,760 with species as far as we understand 1645 01:03:27,950 --> 01:03:25,740 that have some sort of common lineage 1646 01:03:30,170 --> 01:03:27,960 that the genetic codes can kind of line 1647 01:03:33,170 --> 01:03:30,180 up so that alone speaks to the fact that 1648 01:03:35,770 --> 01:03:33,180 they must be related to us in some way 1649 01:03:38,450 --> 01:03:35,780 we also have Notions like 1650 01:03:39,890 --> 01:03:38,460 their lack of emotional range they 1651 01:03:41,809 --> 01:03:39,900 sometimes suggest according to 1652 01:03:43,549 --> 01:03:41,819 literature is something that they 1653 01:03:45,670 --> 01:03:43,559 decided basically as we before we talked 1654 01:03:48,109 --> 01:03:45,680 about bioengineering our own future 1655 01:03:49,849 --> 01:03:48,119 there's discussion from them that that 1656 01:03:51,289 --> 01:03:49,859 was a conscious decision because they 1657 01:03:53,569 --> 01:03:51,299 saw that 1658 01:03:55,849 --> 01:03:53,579 a lot of the problems that Human Society 1659 01:03:58,370 --> 01:03:55,859 created was because of our 1660 01:03:59,870 --> 01:03:58,380 volatile emotional nature 1661 01:04:01,609 --> 01:03:59,880 and so they made a decision at some 1662 01:04:03,170 --> 01:04:01,619 point to become more spock-like more 1663 01:04:04,430 --> 01:04:03,180 like Vulcans try to make decisions 1664 01:04:07,069 --> 01:04:04,440 logically 1665 01:04:08,809 --> 01:04:07,079 but to the point where they perhaps even 1666 01:04:10,190 --> 01:04:08,819 regretted how far that went and they 1667 01:04:12,710 --> 01:04:10,200 felt like they had lost something in the 1668 01:04:15,650 --> 01:04:12,720 process and so part of the hybridization 1669 01:04:18,410 --> 01:04:15,660 program is not just to help us but to 1670 01:04:20,210 --> 01:04:18,420 also help them to create perhaps a a new 1671 01:04:22,370 --> 01:04:20,220 type of being that takes the best of 1672 01:04:24,410 --> 01:04:22,380 what they consider them to be and the 1673 01:04:26,630 --> 01:04:24,420 best of what we are and actually create 1674 01:04:28,130 --> 01:04:26,640 a third option that almost creates a new 1675 01:04:29,930 --> 01:04:28,140 timeline in a way if you think about it 1676 01:04:32,089 --> 01:04:29,940 because it creates a new possibility 1677 01:04:34,130 --> 01:04:32,099 that had never happened naturally what 1678 01:04:37,910 --> 01:04:34,140 do you think about that 1679 01:04:40,970 --> 01:04:37,920 well I am reminded of what Lou Elizondo 1680 01:04:43,370 --> 01:04:40,980 said you know not about Mankind's right 1681 01:04:47,150 --> 01:04:43,380 that they're it's a different way of of 1682 01:04:48,349 --> 01:04:47,160 you know revisiting that quote 1683 01:04:50,690 --> 01:04:48,359 um 1684 01:04:53,210 --> 01:04:50,700 I also think about 1685 01:04:56,450 --> 01:04:53,220 the complexity of of sharing this 1686 01:04:58,069 --> 01:04:56,460 information with the public right so if 1687 01:05:01,849 --> 01:04:58,079 you're if you're the government and 1688 01:05:03,589 --> 01:05:01,859 you've stumbled upon this reality 1689 01:05:06,589 --> 01:05:03,599 um 1690 01:05:10,130 --> 01:05:06,599 through various means where do you begin 1691 01:05:12,950 --> 01:05:10,140 you know explaining this to people uh 1692 01:05:14,450 --> 01:05:12,960 in how many questions would follow right 1693 01:05:16,309 --> 01:05:14,460 well you see in the future what does it 1694 01:05:18,770 --> 01:05:16,319 look like well that it's complicated 1695 01:05:20,390 --> 01:05:18,780 we've seen the past what did you do to 1696 01:05:22,670 --> 01:05:20,400 it well I don't want to I don't want to 1697 01:05:26,089 --> 01:05:22,680 share that because it's you know it's 1698 01:05:31,130 --> 01:05:26,099 messy uh you know you can see how this 1699 01:05:33,289 --> 01:05:31,140 would be a lot more complex than just oh 1700 01:05:36,770 --> 01:05:33,299 you know some beings from 1701 01:05:38,870 --> 01:05:36,780 uh you know Kepler whenever it is you 1702 01:05:41,569 --> 01:05:38,880 know landed here and and and they 1703 01:05:43,370 --> 01:05:41,579 visited us like that is way simpler like 1704 01:05:45,230 --> 01:05:43,380 we actually had procedures already that 1705 01:05:47,089 --> 01:05:45,240 could basically handle you know the 1706 01:05:51,049 --> 01:05:47,099 immigration forms for that 1707 01:05:53,089 --> 01:05:51,059 um but for uh dealing with time travel I 1708 01:05:55,069 --> 01:05:53,099 mean wow uh I don't think we're very 1709 01:05:57,710 --> 01:05:55,079 well equipped for that conversation and 1710 01:05:59,930 --> 01:05:57,720 it could explain in many ways the the 1711 01:06:02,569 --> 01:05:59,940 layers and layers of secrecy that we 1712 01:06:04,870 --> 01:06:02,579 have seen around this topic just uh 1713 01:06:07,549 --> 01:06:04,880 because you could only imagine as we 1714 01:06:09,589 --> 01:06:07,559 became aware of this possibility and all 1715 01:06:12,349 --> 01:06:09,599 the different uh beings that we were 1716 01:06:15,890 --> 01:06:12,359 interacting with of our own lineage and 1717 01:06:18,230 --> 01:06:15,900 others that the the picture becomes 1718 01:06:21,530 --> 01:06:18,240 incredibly complex and difficult to 1719 01:06:23,809 --> 01:06:21,540 translate to an audience in in just like 1720 01:06:26,270 --> 01:06:23,819 a simple presidential address for 1721 01:06:29,270 --> 01:06:26,280 example uh or a proclamation I mean you 1722 01:06:32,329 --> 01:06:29,280 can't I mean it arguably it's taken us 1723 01:06:34,490 --> 01:06:32,339 Decades of analyzing this and thinking 1724 01:06:37,970 --> 01:06:34,500 through it and Etc to even come to the 1725 01:06:40,490 --> 01:06:37,980 place we are now where where the secrets 1726 01:06:42,950 --> 01:06:40,500 that themselves are spilling out 1727 01:06:46,069 --> 01:06:42,960 um and and hopefully that digestive 1728 01:06:48,289 --> 01:06:46,079 process has been sufficient enough for 1729 01:06:51,589 --> 01:06:48,299 us to get the nutrients uh you know out 1730 01:06:54,710 --> 01:06:51,599 of it and uh and to be productive so I 1731 01:06:57,289 --> 01:06:54,720 don't know it's uh it's a lot it's a lot 1732 01:06:59,510 --> 01:06:57,299 to wrestle with there for sure 1733 01:07:01,549 --> 01:06:59,520 it is and when you raise that point I 1734 01:07:02,750 --> 01:07:01,559 was thinking about what John Ramirez has 1735 01:07:05,569 --> 01:07:02,760 said about this 1736 01:07:08,089 --> 01:07:05,579 in speaking about the Roswell event he 1737 01:07:09,529 --> 01:07:08,099 has made claims that from his point of 1738 01:07:12,289 --> 01:07:09,539 view exactly fits with what you're 1739 01:07:14,870 --> 01:07:12,299 saying that if these were just 1740 01:07:17,029 --> 01:07:14,880 beings that were recovered that seem to 1741 01:07:19,370 --> 01:07:17,039 be you know have flown here from Zeta 1742 01:07:21,410 --> 01:07:19,380 reticuli or Andromeda or whatever it 1743 01:07:23,450 --> 01:07:21,420 wouldn't be such a big deal and perhaps 1744 01:07:25,730 --> 01:07:23,460 the public could handle that but 1745 01:07:28,010 --> 01:07:25,740 according to his narrative what was 1746 01:07:30,650 --> 01:07:28,020 discovered was that these beings had 1747 01:07:33,950 --> 01:07:30,660 some sort of genetic linkage with us the 1748 01:07:36,529 --> 01:07:33,960 DNA would had some common factors to it 1749 01:07:39,049 --> 01:07:36,539 and it was decided that to your point 1750 01:07:40,609 --> 01:07:39,059 that that was a secret that was too 1751 01:07:42,410 --> 01:07:40,619 dangerous to share with the public too 1752 01:07:44,690 --> 01:07:42,420 dangerous in terms of it being too 1753 01:07:46,069 --> 01:07:44,700 potentially destabilizing to our 1754 01:07:48,170 --> 01:07:46,079 civilization 1755 01:07:50,210 --> 01:07:48,180 to have to reckon with this notion that 1756 01:07:51,890 --> 01:07:50,220 there was this connection 1757 01:07:53,150 --> 01:07:51,900 now to something you mentioned earlier I 1758 01:07:54,890 --> 01:07:53,160 just really want to hit on this because 1759 01:07:57,470 --> 01:07:54,900 I think it is important to point to 1760 01:08:00,710 --> 01:07:57,480 people that there is another possibility 1761 01:08:03,710 --> 01:08:00,720 here and that is that as you said 1762 01:08:05,270 --> 01:08:03,720 this ancient seating program this notion 1763 01:08:08,210 --> 01:08:05,280 that perhaps 1764 01:08:09,589 --> 01:08:08,220 an alien intelligence that predated all 1765 01:08:12,349 --> 01:08:09,599 of the forms we've talked about that 1766 01:08:15,230 --> 01:08:12,359 maybe have long since moved on 1767 01:08:19,070 --> 01:08:15,240 actually seated various planets in the 1768 01:08:20,749 --> 01:08:19,080 Milky Way say with a common humanoid 1769 01:08:23,269 --> 01:08:20,759 form because for whatever reason that 1770 01:08:26,030 --> 01:08:23,279 had been experiment experimented with 1771 01:08:28,130 --> 01:08:26,040 and found to be a really useful form and 1772 01:08:30,289 --> 01:08:28,140 so they had basically set up the 1773 01:08:33,169 --> 01:08:30,299 precursors for the development of that 1774 01:08:35,209 --> 01:08:33,179 kind of being on various planets and 1775 01:08:37,550 --> 01:08:35,219 that could explain how for instance the 1776 01:08:40,849 --> 01:08:37,560 beings recovered at Roswell might not 1777 01:08:43,249 --> 01:08:40,859 just be future time traveling humans but 1778 01:08:44,329 --> 01:08:43,259 could also be an example of one of these 1779 01:08:47,329 --> 01:08:44,339 other 1780 01:08:48,829 --> 01:08:47,339 similar templated beings that actually 1781 01:08:50,450 --> 01:08:48,839 arose on a different planet so that's 1782 01:08:52,490 --> 01:08:50,460 that's a possibility 1783 01:08:55,249 --> 01:08:52,500 there's another possibility called 1784 01:08:58,130 --> 01:08:55,259 convergent evolution the notion there is 1785 01:09:00,829 --> 01:08:58,140 that from my understanding 1786 01:09:03,650 --> 01:09:00,839 what suggested there is that at the 1787 01:09:06,289 --> 01:09:03,660 higher upper chain of the food chain 1788 01:09:11,390 --> 01:09:06,299 the higher forms there are fewer and 1789 01:09:13,370 --> 01:09:11,400 fewer ideal optimal kind of forms and 1790 01:09:14,990 --> 01:09:13,380 that perhaps the humanoid form is one of 1791 01:09:17,269 --> 01:09:15,000 those and according to that theory 1792 01:09:19,610 --> 01:09:17,279 therefore you would eventually have even 1793 01:09:20,990 --> 01:09:19,620 if you had very different Beginnings at 1794 01:09:22,729 --> 01:09:21,000 the top of the food chain you would see 1795 01:09:25,550 --> 01:09:22,739 this convergence towards the humanoid 1796 01:09:28,490 --> 01:09:25,560 form that has been suggested 1797 01:09:31,189 --> 01:09:28,500 I am not an evolutionary biologist like 1798 01:09:33,349 --> 01:09:31,199 Mike is and so I lean on his expertise 1799 01:09:36,470 --> 01:09:33,359 in saying that that while that is a 1800 01:09:38,030 --> 01:09:36,480 possibility that's much less likely 1801 01:09:39,650 --> 01:09:38,040 and in terms of the cosmic seating 1802 01:09:40,910 --> 01:09:39,660 program I think it's very much a 1803 01:09:42,890 --> 01:09:40,920 possibility 1804 01:09:44,510 --> 01:09:42,900 again according to the narrative there 1805 01:09:46,610 --> 01:09:44,520 were some distinct differences between 1806 01:09:47,689 --> 01:09:46,620 these Graves that were recovered or 1807 01:09:50,030 --> 01:09:47,699 these beings that were recovered at 1808 01:09:51,110 --> 01:09:50,040 Roswell they had some organs that were 1809 01:09:52,849 --> 01:09:51,120 different than ours and in different 1810 01:09:54,650 --> 01:09:52,859 places 1811 01:09:56,630 --> 01:09:54,660 you know when the autopsy was done but 1812 01:09:58,370 --> 01:09:56,640 again there was this distinct notion 1813 01:10:01,370 --> 01:09:58,380 that they did have some DNA in common 1814 01:10:04,250 --> 01:10:01,380 with us and this indeed was why 1815 01:10:06,110 --> 01:10:04,260 the secret was not shared and was locked 1816 01:10:08,810 --> 01:10:06,120 up for decades because suddenly like you 1817 01:10:10,910 --> 01:10:08,820 said the implications become much more 1818 01:10:13,610 --> 01:10:10,920 drastic because if if it's true that 1819 01:10:14,930 --> 01:10:13,620 time travel exists then you begin to 1820 01:10:17,030 --> 01:10:14,940 wonder about all sorts of things and 1821 01:10:18,830 --> 01:10:17,040 like you said earlier you hinted at what 1822 01:10:21,830 --> 01:10:18,840 are the rules are there rules is there 1823 01:10:25,370 --> 01:10:21,840 some sort of you know agency of uh 1824 01:10:26,689 --> 01:10:25,380 temporal uh Affairs in the future that 1825 01:10:28,970 --> 01:10:26,699 actually you have to follow form and say 1826 01:10:31,790 --> 01:10:28,980 I'd like to go back to 1956 and I want 1827 01:10:33,050 --> 01:10:31,800 to do this what what what uh steps are 1828 01:10:34,610 --> 01:10:33,060 you going to take to not interfere with 1829 01:10:37,250 --> 01:10:34,620 the timeline well I plan to do this okay 1830 01:10:39,410 --> 01:10:37,260 it's been approved or rejected and to 1831 01:10:41,450 --> 01:10:39,420 that point 1832 01:10:44,030 --> 01:10:41,460 this is one of the the points is put 1833 01:10:46,610 --> 01:10:44,040 forward is that why don't these aliens 1834 01:10:48,229 --> 01:10:46,620 land on the White House lawn right 1835 01:10:50,030 --> 01:10:48,239 well perhaps it's because they're 1836 01:10:51,649 --> 01:10:50,040 actually not aliens in the in the 1837 01:10:54,410 --> 01:10:51,659 original sense but they actually are us 1838 01:10:57,110 --> 01:10:54,420 from the future and their clandestine 1839 01:10:58,850 --> 01:10:57,120 activities speak to the fact that they 1840 01:11:01,370 --> 01:10:58,860 don't want to give away especially on a 1841 01:11:02,930 --> 01:11:01,380 mass level who they actually are and how 1842 01:11:05,330 --> 01:11:02,940 they got here meaning being time 1843 01:11:07,310 --> 01:11:05,340 traveling future humans because that 1844 01:11:10,370 --> 01:11:07,320 would significantly change the timeline 1845 01:11:12,709 --> 01:11:10,380 and perhaps even impact their future so 1846 01:11:14,330 --> 01:11:12,719 perhaps their activities speak to the 1847 01:11:17,149 --> 01:11:14,340 notion that they actually are following 1848 01:11:18,950 --> 01:11:17,159 a rule set of rules that allow for 1849 01:11:21,290 --> 01:11:18,960 interaction and even some tweaking 1850 01:11:22,850 --> 01:11:21,300 without fundamentally changing the 1851 01:11:25,250 --> 01:11:22,860 timeline in such consequential 1852 01:11:27,530 --> 01:11:25,260 consequential ways that impacts their 1853 01:11:28,550 --> 01:11:27,540 very existence in the future 1854 01:11:30,830 --> 01:11:28,560 um 1855 01:11:32,689 --> 01:11:30,840 right and and it also might help explain 1856 01:11:36,110 --> 01:11:32,699 the competing factions that we've heard 1857 01:11:37,850 --> 01:11:36,120 about right so you have some humans that 1858 01:11:40,750 --> 01:11:37,860 might be nearer to us in the 1859 01:11:44,689 --> 01:11:40,760 evolutionary chain that initially 1860 01:11:48,410 --> 01:11:44,699 cracked this ability and 1861 01:11:52,310 --> 01:11:48,420 you know they're maybe more Pro Homo 1862 01:11:56,030 --> 01:11:52,320 sapiens sapien but their uh progeny in 1863 01:11:57,890 --> 01:11:56,040 many many generations after them uh you 1864 01:11:59,390 --> 01:11:57,900 know makes further advances and then 1865 01:12:04,729 --> 01:11:59,400 they come back and have a different 1866 01:12:06,590 --> 01:12:04,739 agenda at play for for their ancestors 1867 01:12:08,270 --> 01:12:06,600 um yeah you can see how there could be 1868 01:12:10,610 --> 01:12:08,280 some real competing factions at work 1869 01:12:14,149 --> 01:12:10,620 there not just from those different 1870 01:12:16,490 --> 01:12:14,159 kinds of entities but also competing uh 1871 01:12:18,169 --> 01:12:16,500 with the the state powers of the day 1872 01:12:20,270 --> 01:12:18,179 because we've also heard that that there 1873 01:12:22,310 --> 01:12:20,280 are some groups that work you know 1874 01:12:25,850 --> 01:12:22,320 closely with the US and some that work 1875 01:12:28,370 --> 01:12:25,860 closely with Russia or China Etc maybe 1876 01:12:31,550 --> 01:12:28,380 they are descendants of different you 1877 01:12:34,729 --> 01:12:31,560 know sort of populations on the earth uh 1878 01:12:38,330 --> 01:12:34,739 I do wonder what a revelation like this 1879 01:12:40,130 --> 01:12:38,340 might mean for modern day people uh 1880 01:12:43,270 --> 01:12:40,140 whether this would be something that 1881 01:12:46,250 --> 01:12:43,280 would uh serve as that 1882 01:12:47,990 --> 01:12:46,260 galvanizing moment to help unite us as a 1883 01:12:50,649 --> 01:12:48,000 species or whether it might actually 1884 01:12:52,209 --> 01:12:50,659 further inflame some of the already 1885 01:12:55,490 --> 01:12:52,219 existing 1886 01:12:58,610 --> 01:12:55,500 tribalistic tendencies that we have we 1887 01:13:00,830 --> 01:12:58,620 tend to be very focused on rooting for 1888 01:13:04,070 --> 01:13:00,840 our own home team and if it comes out 1889 01:13:06,290 --> 01:13:04,080 that this time traveling species is a 1890 01:13:08,330 --> 01:13:06,300 descendant from you know over here and 1891 01:13:10,490 --> 01:13:08,340 not over there but we don't want to 1892 01:13:12,350 --> 01:13:10,500 interact with them we're gonna you know 1893 01:13:14,270 --> 01:13:12,360 kind of continue to dump money into our 1894 01:13:17,830 --> 01:13:14,280 technological advancement at the expense 1895 01:13:20,930 --> 01:13:17,840 of everyone else and our our competitive 1896 01:13:24,470 --> 01:13:20,940 nature only kind of gets stoked further 1897 01:13:27,290 --> 01:13:24,480 and our tensions only increase so that 1898 01:13:28,250 --> 01:13:27,300 that is a little bit concerning to me 1899 01:13:30,110 --> 01:13:28,260 um 1900 01:13:31,850 --> 01:13:30,120 but you know on the positive side hey 1901 01:13:34,010 --> 01:13:31,860 it'd be cool to time travel right like 1902 01:13:36,649 --> 01:13:34,020 hop in the DeLorean you know go back and 1903 01:13:38,570 --> 01:13:36,659 uh you know see what the 1950s were like 1904 01:13:40,010 --> 01:13:38,580 or something absolutely you think about 1905 01:13:41,750 --> 01:13:40,020 being an archaeologist or an 1906 01:13:43,490 --> 01:13:41,760 anthropologist and say 1907 01:13:45,110 --> 01:13:43,500 wow it's wild to think that there was a 1908 01:13:47,390 --> 01:13:45,120 time where they had to like dig into the 1909 01:13:48,830 --> 01:13:47,400 ground and try and find fossils rather 1910 01:13:51,950 --> 01:13:48,840 than what we do now which is we just go 1911 01:13:53,689 --> 01:13:51,960 back to the Egyptian period and observe 1912 01:13:56,090 --> 01:13:53,699 the building of the prayers to pyramids 1913 01:13:57,590 --> 01:13:56,100 directly right or something like that 1914 01:14:00,229 --> 01:13:57,600 you know another another piece that 1915 01:14:01,610 --> 01:14:00,239 occurs to me that is enticing in terms 1916 01:14:04,130 --> 01:14:01,620 of a possibility 1917 01:14:06,050 --> 01:14:04,140 is in helping to explain some of the 1918 01:14:08,510 --> 01:14:06,060 strange aspects of the historical 1919 01:14:10,430 --> 01:14:08,520 literature that seemed disjointed it 1920 01:14:12,890 --> 01:14:10,440 seems hard to fit them into our our 1921 01:14:15,950 --> 01:14:12,900 present reality for instance my labs 1922 01:14:19,490 --> 01:14:15,960 right this sense that these strange 1923 01:14:21,110 --> 01:14:19,500 seemingly military-oriented Endeavors 1924 01:14:23,990 --> 01:14:21,120 that 1925 01:14:25,610 --> 01:14:24,000 on the one hand people really recount 1926 01:14:27,290 --> 01:14:25,620 having these experiences they seem 1927 01:14:29,450 --> 01:14:27,300 absolutely real to them these are 1928 01:14:32,330 --> 01:14:29,460 credible people who don't tend to make 1929 01:14:33,770 --> 01:14:32,340 things up these are memories they have 1930 01:14:36,169 --> 01:14:33,780 and they seem to involve human 1931 01:14:38,330 --> 01:14:36,179 governments at the same time when people 1932 01:14:40,790 --> 01:14:38,340 look into this possibility it seems like 1933 01:14:42,470 --> 01:14:40,800 sometimes a bit of a stretch based on 1934 01:14:44,270 --> 01:14:42,480 the current configuration of our 1935 01:14:46,130 --> 01:14:44,280 military and our governments 1936 01:14:49,610 --> 01:14:46,140 but if you bring the time travel piece 1937 01:14:51,950 --> 01:14:49,620 in then they could so these particular 1938 01:14:55,729 --> 01:14:51,960 experiencers contact these abductees 1939 01:14:58,390 --> 01:14:55,739 might be experiencing a configuration of 1940 01:15:01,130 --> 01:14:58,400 military government 1941 01:15:03,709 --> 01:15:01,140 and supposed alien groups that are 1942 01:15:05,630 --> 01:15:03,719 actually just again a version of the 1943 01:15:07,010 --> 01:15:05,640 Earth from the future where you have 1944 01:15:09,649 --> 01:15:07,020 different forms that have joined 1945 01:15:12,410 --> 01:15:09,659 together and that it is sometimes is a 1946 01:15:15,229 --> 01:15:12,420 state operated program like a my labs 1947 01:15:17,870 --> 01:15:15,239 but but a a future version of my labs 1948 01:15:19,310 --> 01:15:17,880 interacting with our reality because for 1949 01:15:22,669 --> 01:15:19,320 instance even when it comes to some of 1950 01:15:25,669 --> 01:15:22,679 these massive underground installations 1951 01:15:28,729 --> 01:15:25,679 that people report visiting 1952 01:15:30,530 --> 01:15:28,739 we even think about people like Anjali 1953 01:15:32,870 --> 01:15:30,540 that talk about going into a mountain 1954 01:15:34,310 --> 01:15:32,880 encountering what seems like an alien 1955 01:15:36,590 --> 01:15:34,320 base in there 1956 01:15:38,570 --> 01:15:36,600 now is it are the only possibilities 1957 01:15:40,430 --> 01:15:38,580 that either it's there or she's making 1958 01:15:43,790 --> 01:15:40,440 it up or it's there in a different 1959 01:15:46,970 --> 01:15:43,800 dimension not necessarily if if time is 1960 01:15:49,490 --> 01:15:46,980 malleable then perhaps she was taken 1961 01:15:50,990 --> 01:15:49,500 into a version of that mountain in the 1962 01:15:53,450 --> 01:15:51,000 future right or at least what would 1963 01:15:55,490 --> 01:15:53,460 appear to us like the future so it opens 1964 01:15:57,890 --> 01:15:55,500 up many many possibilities that some of 1965 01:16:00,709 --> 01:15:57,900 the really strange disjointed elements 1966 01:16:03,709 --> 01:16:00,719 of the UFO UFO phenomenal literature 1967 01:16:06,050 --> 01:16:03,719 could fit in once you add the time 1968 01:16:08,930 --> 01:16:06,060 travel piece in there and like you said 1969 01:16:11,390 --> 01:16:08,940 even the Myriad types and forms we see 1970 01:16:14,810 --> 01:16:11,400 may actually just be different versions 1971 01:16:17,090 --> 01:16:14,820 of the human experiment over time 1972 01:16:19,970 --> 01:16:17,100 right you could have the reptilians the 1973 01:16:22,729 --> 01:16:19,980 mantids the Grays and the ones that look 1974 01:16:25,490 --> 01:16:22,739 more human like us perhaps they're like 1975 01:16:26,630 --> 01:16:25,500 you say they're closer in time than the 1976 01:16:29,390 --> 01:16:26,640 ones that really look quite different 1977 01:16:33,530 --> 01:16:29,400 and again based on our history even now 1978 01:16:36,050 --> 01:16:33,540 we hear about us trying to solve certain 1979 01:16:37,250 --> 01:16:36,060 medical issues by bringing in genes from 1980 01:16:39,350 --> 01:16:37,260 other animals 1981 01:16:41,990 --> 01:16:39,360 right this is happening already 1982 01:16:44,410 --> 01:16:42,000 this this notion of 1983 01:16:47,630 --> 01:16:44,420 changing our genome 1984 01:16:49,370 --> 01:16:47,640 technologically impacting it crafting it 1985 01:16:51,229 --> 01:16:49,380 in certain directions this is something 1986 01:16:53,689 --> 01:16:51,239 we're already just beginning to reckon 1987 01:16:55,130 --> 01:16:53,699 with and again I want to remind people 1988 01:16:58,610 --> 01:16:55,140 Wright brothers 1989 01:17:00,890 --> 01:16:58,620 to landing on the moon 66 years what is 1990 01:17:03,830 --> 01:17:00,900 biological manipulation going to look 1991 01:17:06,350 --> 01:17:03,840 like a hundred years from now it's it's 1992 01:17:09,050 --> 01:17:06,360 that alone boggles the mind so we're 1993 01:17:10,729 --> 01:17:09,060 already seeing all of these elements in 1994 01:17:13,010 --> 01:17:10,739 their 1995 01:17:15,290 --> 01:17:13,020 you know early stages so imagine what it 1996 01:17:16,910 --> 01:17:15,300 would look like in the future 1997 01:17:19,370 --> 01:17:16,920 maybe what we can do for the last part 1998 01:17:23,030 --> 01:17:19,380 here is sort of Riff on 1999 01:17:24,590 --> 01:17:23,040 the other hypotheses and how they play 2000 01:17:26,390 --> 01:17:24,600 with this how well do they play with 2001 01:17:29,450 --> 01:17:26,400 this I think the first thing I want to 2002 01:17:31,550 --> 01:17:29,460 say again for those who are saying wow 2003 01:17:33,830 --> 01:17:31,560 Darren is saying that there are no 2004 01:17:36,169 --> 01:17:33,840 aliens really there's just humans across 2005 01:17:38,030 --> 01:17:36,179 time that take different shapes I'm not 2006 01:17:40,610 --> 01:17:38,040 saying that I'm saying that I still 2007 01:17:42,530 --> 01:17:40,620 think the evidence suggests there are 2008 01:17:44,870 --> 01:17:42,540 beings in the universe that have no 2009 01:17:47,030 --> 01:17:44,880 connection to the human genome 2010 01:17:48,709 --> 01:17:47,040 but that there's particular kinds of 2011 01:17:51,350 --> 01:17:48,719 encounters that involve a certain form 2012 01:17:53,330 --> 01:17:51,360 like the Grays and whatnot and involve 2013 01:17:55,550 --> 01:17:53,340 hybridization programs and that kind of 2014 01:17:57,590 --> 01:17:55,560 thing and this notion of being concerned 2015 01:17:59,330 --> 01:17:57,600 about nuclear weapons right we hear 2016 01:18:02,090 --> 01:17:59,340 about this a lot concerns about what 2017 01:18:05,209 --> 01:18:02,100 we're doing to the planet of course a 2018 01:18:07,490 --> 01:18:05,219 benevolent extraterrestrial being our 2019 01:18:10,310 --> 01:18:07,500 civilization may very well be interested 2020 01:18:12,169 --> 01:18:10,320 in that but it's much less of a leap to 2021 01:18:15,410 --> 01:18:12,179 realize that a future human population 2022 01:18:17,270 --> 01:18:15,420 that is experiencing the consequences of 2023 01:18:18,709 --> 01:18:17,280 the decisions we're making in terms of 2024 01:18:20,630 --> 01:18:18,719 our endeavors on the planet right now 2025 01:18:23,030 --> 01:18:20,640 would have the most skin in the game 2026 01:18:25,850 --> 01:18:23,040 they would be coming back and saying 2027 01:18:28,550 --> 01:18:25,860 what are you doing you can't do this why 2028 01:18:31,010 --> 01:18:28,560 are they showing up in UFOs and 2029 01:18:33,890 --> 01:18:31,020 practicing shutting down nuclear silos 2030 01:18:35,930 --> 01:18:33,900 perhaps because it's us from the future 2031 01:18:37,669 --> 01:18:35,940 already perhaps knowing about some sort 2032 01:18:39,590 --> 01:18:37,679 of cataclysm that happens 2033 01:18:41,149 --> 01:18:39,600 and they are actually testing going back 2034 01:18:43,370 --> 01:18:41,159 and tweaking with the timeline to 2035 01:18:45,709 --> 01:18:43,380 prevent that cataclysm because it did 2036 01:18:47,090 --> 01:18:45,719 produce such a a negative result which 2037 01:18:49,130 --> 01:18:47,100 speaking to the point you made earlier 2038 01:18:50,990 --> 01:18:49,140 in terms of the two factions that Ross 2039 01:18:52,910 --> 01:18:51,000 cool tart has talked about 2040 01:18:55,310 --> 01:18:52,920 and then I covered in three episodes on 2041 01:18:57,050 --> 01:18:55,320 point of convergence last year 2042 01:18:59,510 --> 01:18:57,060 if you think about it on the one hand 2043 01:19:01,790 --> 01:18:59,520 the one faction the notion is there they 2044 01:19:02,870 --> 01:19:01,800 want to stop it because maybe they are 2045 01:19:05,209 --> 01:19:02,880 the most 2046 01:19:06,890 --> 01:19:05,219 Forward Thinking in their perspective 2047 01:19:08,990 --> 01:19:06,900 and they recognize that in a big picture 2048 01:19:10,430 --> 01:19:09,000 of the biosphere this was a bad thing 2049 01:19:12,830 --> 01:19:10,440 that happened and sometime in our near 2050 01:19:15,110 --> 01:19:12,840 future a nuclear apocalypse or something 2051 01:19:16,790 --> 01:19:15,120 like that which has so many negative 2052 01:19:18,410 --> 01:19:16,800 consequences so they're trying to help 2053 01:19:20,570 --> 01:19:18,420 us prevent it but you have another 2054 01:19:22,370 --> 01:19:20,580 faction that says wait a second 2055 01:19:24,530 --> 01:19:22,380 sure maybe that wasn't great but that's 2056 01:19:26,450 --> 01:19:24,540 what gave birth to us it's those 2057 01:19:28,310 --> 01:19:26,460 environmental conditions that made us 2058 01:19:30,229 --> 01:19:28,320 become the gray aliens we are what we 2059 01:19:33,950 --> 01:19:30,239 you perceive as the great aliens 2060 01:19:36,050 --> 01:19:33,960 and so to change that is to change 2061 01:19:38,630 --> 01:19:36,060 our existence and so we don't want that 2062 01:19:40,490 --> 01:19:38,640 to happen that fits with the narrative 2063 01:19:42,350 --> 01:19:40,500 that has nothing to do with what Michael 2064 01:19:44,330 --> 01:19:42,360 Masters is proposing here it just has to 2065 01:19:46,669 --> 01:19:44,340 do with the intelligence narrative that 2066 01:19:49,189 --> 01:19:46,679 was being presented last year in terms 2067 01:19:51,350 --> 01:19:49,199 of people like Ross saying that 2068 01:19:52,729 --> 01:19:51,360 people he's known for 20 years credible 2069 01:19:54,770 --> 01:19:52,739 sources in the intelligence community 2070 01:19:57,110 --> 01:19:54,780 that have never stood him wrong were 2071 01:20:00,350 --> 01:19:57,120 saying that these beings Were Us from 2072 01:20:02,209 --> 01:20:00,360 the future here around the eventuality 2073 01:20:03,709 --> 01:20:02,219 of this coming cataclysm and they had 2074 01:20:05,750 --> 01:20:03,719 two different perspectives on what 2075 01:20:06,890 --> 01:20:05,760 should happen and working towards those 2076 01:20:08,870 --> 01:20:06,900 ends 2077 01:20:11,990 --> 01:20:08,880 but all that said when you think about 2078 01:20:13,729 --> 01:20:12,000 how this particular hypothesis fits with 2079 01:20:16,669 --> 01:20:13,739 or doesn't fit with the other 2080 01:20:19,189 --> 01:20:16,679 possibilities how does it land for you 2081 01:20:22,550 --> 01:20:19,199 oh well it's as you were talking about 2082 01:20:25,370 --> 01:20:22,560 that uh in those competing factions I'm 2083 01:20:27,470 --> 01:20:25,380 reminded as well about the long 2084 01:20:29,870 --> 01:20:27,480 narratives that we've heard about the 2085 01:20:33,290 --> 01:20:29,880 Galactic Federation right so you could 2086 01:20:36,350 --> 01:20:33,300 easily see a situation where there are 2087 01:20:38,930 --> 01:20:36,360 quote-unquote human factions kind of 2088 01:20:42,530 --> 01:20:38,940 having a Time War basically and then you 2089 01:20:44,930 --> 01:20:42,540 have non-human you know entities that 2090 01:20:46,790 --> 01:20:44,940 already interact with each other across 2091 01:20:49,130 --> 01:20:46,800 the cosmos that are essentially 2092 01:20:51,110 --> 01:20:49,140 witnessing this and kind of 2093 01:20:52,850 --> 01:20:51,120 trying to pump the brakes on it or 2094 01:20:56,030 --> 01:20:52,860 trying to weigh the pros and cons of 2095 01:20:58,490 --> 01:20:56,040 each effort uh you know maybe jumping in 2096 01:21:03,350 --> 01:20:58,500 occasionally to you know tip the scale 2097 01:21:05,570 --> 01:21:03,360 one way or the other and that idea is I 2098 01:21:07,610 --> 01:21:05,580 think there's some Merit for that if you 2099 01:21:09,950 --> 01:21:07,620 look in in the expand the literature or 2100 01:21:13,070 --> 01:21:09,960 the experiencer accounts that there is 2101 01:21:16,209 --> 01:21:13,080 uh this no notion that there's some 2102 01:21:18,770 --> 01:21:16,219 other forces at play that aren't 2103 01:21:20,149 --> 01:21:18,780 anthropocentric you know in the ways 2104 01:21:23,450 --> 01:21:20,159 that we we've talked about with the 2105 01:21:27,590 --> 01:21:23,460 extra-term Pastoral model here uh that 2106 01:21:30,830 --> 01:21:27,600 have a stake in the human story but a 2107 01:21:34,189 --> 01:21:30,840 very different stake than than the these 2108 01:21:35,750 --> 01:21:34,199 two parties may have so it's uh it 2109 01:21:38,030 --> 01:21:35,760 honestly had never really occurred to me 2110 01:21:40,610 --> 01:21:38,040 to think of it in this way but now that 2111 01:21:42,709 --> 01:21:40,620 I have it's uh you know it's actually 2112 01:21:44,990 --> 01:21:42,719 quite compelling even that there might 2113 01:21:46,550 --> 01:21:45,000 be these other beings that are even 2114 01:21:48,770 --> 01:21:46,560 further along like they may have gone 2115 01:21:50,990 --> 01:21:48,780 through this whole time War situation in 2116 01:21:52,910 --> 01:21:51,000 their own history and have come out on 2117 01:21:55,490 --> 01:21:52,920 the other end of that and learned of the 2118 01:21:57,709 --> 01:21:55,500 Follies and you know the the mistakes 2119 01:21:59,390 --> 01:21:57,719 that were made in their own history and 2120 01:22:02,510 --> 01:21:59,400 are trying to kind of weigh in with some 2121 01:22:05,330 --> 01:22:02,520 wise counsel here to to help us navigate 2122 01:22:08,450 --> 01:22:05,340 this uh you know the the strange 2123 01:22:10,430 --> 01:22:08,460 technology that we have uncovered 2124 01:22:12,770 --> 01:22:10,440 um so I don't know for me it's actually 2125 01:22:14,689 --> 01:22:12,780 starting to fit kind of nicely with the 2126 01:22:18,350 --> 01:22:14,699 other models I don't know how well it 2127 01:22:21,649 --> 01:22:18,360 fits necessarily with something like the 2128 01:22:24,410 --> 01:22:21,659 crypto terrestrial model uh or the ultra 2129 01:22:26,270 --> 01:22:24,420 terrestrial model but I I do tend to 2130 01:22:29,209 --> 01:22:26,280 agree that a lot of things can be on the 2131 01:22:31,490 --> 01:22:29,219 table at once here because reality has 2132 01:22:33,169 --> 01:22:31,500 many many layers to it 2133 01:22:34,729 --> 01:22:33,179 indeed as you were talking about the 2134 01:22:37,130 --> 01:22:34,739 Galactic Federation there it occurred to 2135 01:22:39,770 --> 01:22:37,140 me that we often talk about what a 2136 01:22:42,169 --> 01:22:39,780 mature civilization looks like and that 2137 01:22:45,290 --> 01:22:42,179 perhaps there's this notion that there's 2138 01:22:48,410 --> 01:22:45,300 this sort of shielding around us 2139 01:22:50,510 --> 01:22:48,420 to sort of look at us like a a preschool 2140 01:22:52,310 --> 01:22:50,520 class that needs to learn some lessons 2141 01:22:54,229 --> 01:22:52,320 before we are exposed to some larger 2142 01:22:55,130 --> 01:22:54,239 realities involving a larger Galactic 2143 01:22:57,410 --> 01:22:55,140 community 2144 01:22:59,390 --> 01:22:57,420 you could actually argue that like you 2145 01:23:01,430 --> 01:22:59,400 say going through that phase of learning 2146 01:23:04,310 --> 01:23:01,440 about time and how to manipulate it and 2147 01:23:06,890 --> 01:23:04,320 the consequences of it is actually part 2148 01:23:09,050 --> 01:23:06,900 of that process that happens prior to 2149 01:23:10,970 --> 01:23:09,060 the introduction to the larger Galactic 2150 01:23:12,530 --> 01:23:10,980 Community or at least perhaps the larger 2151 01:23:14,870 --> 01:23:12,540 Galactic Community would try in its own 2152 01:23:18,229 --> 01:23:14,880 ways to do this in a kind of clandestine 2153 01:23:20,270 --> 01:23:18,239 way that doesn't overly impact a lot of 2154 01:23:21,950 --> 01:23:20,280 the prime directive from Star Trek while 2155 01:23:23,149 --> 01:23:21,960 a civilization figures out how it's 2156 01:23:24,890 --> 01:23:23,159 going to handle time and the 2157 01:23:26,689 --> 01:23:24,900 implications of that 2158 01:23:29,930 --> 01:23:26,699 all that's possible 2159 01:23:32,270 --> 01:23:29,940 but in terms of the specifics here one 2160 01:23:34,490 --> 01:23:32,280 thing to point out of course is that you 2161 01:23:37,370 --> 01:23:34,500 could have a future human 2162 01:23:40,010 --> 01:23:37,380 that then goes and populates the cosmos 2163 01:23:44,030 --> 01:23:40,020 or at least the the Milky Way 2164 01:23:45,950 --> 01:23:44,040 and does actually have perhaps even a 2165 01:23:48,410 --> 01:23:45,960 million years evolving as a different 2166 01:23:51,770 --> 01:23:48,420 kind of being on a different planet 2167 01:23:54,530 --> 01:23:51,780 and then we'll come back to earth 2168 01:23:56,630 --> 01:23:54,540 and have a connection to the Earth but 2169 01:23:59,209 --> 01:23:56,640 also really being an extraterrestrial 2170 01:24:02,090 --> 01:23:59,219 right they they it's almost a guarantee 2171 01:24:04,010 --> 01:24:02,100 that in the future we will if we're 2172 01:24:05,390 --> 01:24:04,020 still around and we're proposing here 2173 01:24:07,490 --> 01:24:05,400 that we are around the hence while 2174 01:24:09,290 --> 01:24:07,500 they're they're showing up then 2175 01:24:12,950 --> 01:24:09,300 certainly by then we will have developed 2176 01:24:14,630 --> 01:24:12,960 technology to travel the cosmos and 2177 01:24:16,729 --> 01:24:14,640 certainly we'll have populated other 2178 01:24:18,290 --> 01:24:16,739 planets by that point and so if those 2179 01:24:20,390 --> 01:24:18,300 beings are coming back then in the most 2180 01:24:23,330 --> 01:24:20,400 direct sense they're extraterrestrial as 2181 01:24:25,310 --> 01:24:23,340 much as their extra Tempest real so 2182 01:24:27,950 --> 01:24:25,320 there's that piece and that certainly 2183 01:24:30,110 --> 01:24:27,960 seems to be likely actually I think why 2184 01:24:31,310 --> 01:24:30,120 would we assume that well into the 2185 01:24:33,770 --> 01:24:31,320 future 2186 01:24:35,570 --> 01:24:33,780 300 000 years from now we will have 2187 01:24:37,729 --> 01:24:35,580 played with time travel but not also 2188 01:24:39,890 --> 01:24:37,739 space travel that seems unlikely it 2189 01:24:41,450 --> 01:24:39,900 seems likely we would do both so then 2190 01:24:43,729 --> 01:24:41,460 you start realizing that these common 2191 01:24:46,010 --> 01:24:43,739 Notions these common hypotheses begin to 2192 01:24:48,410 --> 01:24:46,020 collapse a little bit because there's 2193 01:24:50,030 --> 01:24:48,420 certain constants we assume when we set 2194 01:24:53,149 --> 01:24:50,040 up these hypotheses and some of them 2195 01:24:55,070 --> 01:24:53,159 become just irrelevant or transcended by 2196 01:24:57,189 --> 01:24:55,080 these new realities 2197 01:25:00,169 --> 01:24:57,199 even an ultra terrestrial that seemingly 2198 01:25:01,610 --> 01:25:00,179 is here and not here sometimes that 2199 01:25:03,350 --> 01:25:01,620 might be because of the time component 2200 01:25:05,390 --> 01:25:03,360 right so that that could explain that 2201 01:25:08,630 --> 01:25:05,400 and a crypto terrestrial of course is 2202 01:25:10,729 --> 01:25:08,640 just a being that is here in our usual 2203 01:25:11,930 --> 01:25:10,739 physical reality but is really good at 2204 01:25:13,610 --> 01:25:11,940 hiding 2205 01:25:15,110 --> 01:25:13,620 perhaps they even have evolutionary 2206 01:25:17,209 --> 01:25:15,120 traits that allow them to hide in 2207 01:25:20,689 --> 01:25:17,219 various ways so they could also exist 2208 01:25:22,910 --> 01:25:20,699 right alongside these beings that are 2209 01:25:24,050 --> 01:25:22,920 both Time Travelers and extraterrestrial 2210 01:25:26,229 --> 01:25:24,060 in that sense 2211 01:25:28,490 --> 01:25:26,239 and again because 2212 01:25:31,310 --> 01:25:28,500 undoubtedly the understanding of reality 2213 01:25:33,770 --> 01:25:31,320 will be so much more flushed out at that 2214 01:25:36,649 --> 01:25:33,780 point that what looks to us like an 2215 01:25:38,689 --> 01:25:36,659 interdimensional may also be what we 2216 01:25:40,790 --> 01:25:38,699 achieve once we understand the greater 2217 01:25:42,590 --> 01:25:40,800 nuances of reality and begin perhaps to 2218 01:25:44,630 --> 01:25:42,600 be able to navigate these extra 2219 01:25:46,850 --> 01:25:44,640 Dimensions that we're right now kind of 2220 01:25:48,590 --> 01:25:46,860 blind to and that when they take us 2221 01:25:50,209 --> 01:25:48,600 outside of the supposed space-time 2222 01:25:52,310 --> 01:25:50,219 construct as many experiencers talk 2223 01:25:53,870 --> 01:25:52,320 about that is already evidence that 2224 01:25:56,090 --> 01:25:53,880 they're doing that in that sense they 2225 01:25:58,370 --> 01:25:56,100 are kind of becoming interdimensional or 2226 01:26:02,090 --> 01:25:58,380 trans-dimensional so all of these things 2227 01:26:04,490 --> 01:26:02,100 are possibilities that grow out of this 2228 01:26:06,350 --> 01:26:04,500 direct sense of this being us in the 2229 01:26:07,910 --> 01:26:06,360 future exploring these greater aspects 2230 01:26:10,610 --> 01:26:07,920 of reality 2231 01:26:14,090 --> 01:26:10,620 um everything everywhere all at once it 2232 01:26:15,649 --> 01:26:14,100 is us it is us it's all us and that 2233 01:26:18,350 --> 01:26:15,659 actually brings us back to something 2234 01:26:20,450 --> 01:26:18,360 that we've talked about before that with 2235 01:26:23,629 --> 01:26:20,460 Consciousness being fundamental that we 2236 01:26:25,970 --> 01:26:23,639 are a part of the same substrate of 2237 01:26:28,370 --> 01:26:25,980 reality we are all individuated 2238 01:26:32,390 --> 01:26:28,380 expressions of that larger Consciousness 2239 01:26:35,450 --> 01:26:32,400 it is us uh it's it's us and it's 2240 01:26:37,669 --> 01:26:35,460 fractal right so it's it's us at every 2241 01:26:40,129 --> 01:26:37,679 layer but the way that it displays 2242 01:26:42,229 --> 01:26:40,139 itself at those different layers is 2243 01:26:44,209 --> 01:26:42,239 different the way it presents itself in 2244 01:26:46,430 --> 01:26:44,219 those different layers of reality is 2245 01:26:48,610 --> 01:26:46,440 different its appearance has changed 2246 01:26:50,930 --> 01:26:48,620 just like you said earlier as the craft 2247 01:26:53,570 --> 01:26:50,940 shifts and morphs in the sky it's 2248 01:26:56,030 --> 01:26:53,580 changing to us but in in a different 2249 01:26:59,270 --> 01:26:56,040 layer of reality it's not changing at 2250 01:27:02,570 --> 01:26:59,280 all it is what it is so I think these 2251 01:27:05,570 --> 01:27:02,580 models to use the term collapse is I 2252 01:27:07,310 --> 01:27:05,580 think really apt it's excellent it is a 2253 01:27:09,830 --> 01:27:07,320 collapsing all of the models collapse 2254 01:27:11,810 --> 01:27:09,840 down to a single model it's just that 2255 01:27:13,070 --> 01:27:11,820 looked at from different Vantage points 2256 01:27:16,070 --> 01:27:13,080 different perspectives different 2257 01:27:18,410 --> 01:27:16,080 experiences of space and time they they 2258 01:27:22,430 --> 01:27:18,420 take on different appearances but in the 2259 01:27:24,290 --> 01:27:22,440 end they are all us we are they 2260 01:27:25,610 --> 01:27:24,300 absolutely I'm glad you went through and 2261 01:27:29,390 --> 01:27:25,620 I think that's a great place to finish 2262 01:27:31,250 --> 01:27:29,400 here is that to me in a large way it's 2263 01:27:32,990 --> 01:27:31,260 it's inconsequential which of these ends 2264 01:27:34,729 --> 01:27:33,000 up being true because of what you just 2265 01:27:37,250 --> 01:27:34,739 said that ultimately we are all 2266 01:27:39,649 --> 01:27:37,260 connected we are all our extensions 2267 01:27:43,010 --> 01:27:39,659 fractual impressions of original source 2268 01:27:45,709 --> 01:27:43,020 so whether or not this great alien I'm 2269 01:27:48,410 --> 01:27:45,719 interacting with is actually a a 2270 01:27:51,290 --> 01:27:48,420 descendant of mine or 2271 01:27:54,229 --> 01:27:51,300 this is actually a being that grew up 2272 01:27:55,610 --> 01:27:54,239 and was an extension of a line from a 2273 01:27:59,030 --> 01:27:55,620 different planet that had nothing to do 2274 01:28:01,250 --> 01:27:59,040 with my line directly ultimately in the 2275 01:28:03,050 --> 01:28:01,260 greatest sense of the word we are all 2276 01:28:06,169 --> 01:28:03,060 fractal impressions of source and so 2277 01:28:07,850 --> 01:28:06,179 that original mind is implanted into 2278 01:28:09,709 --> 01:28:07,860 each of those so this would not involve 2279 01:28:12,110 --> 01:28:09,719 a cosmic seating program in a physical 2280 01:28:13,729 --> 01:28:12,120 way but it would be like again thinking 2281 01:28:17,510 --> 01:28:13,739 about Consciousness as being primary 2282 01:28:19,310 --> 01:28:17,520 that that original mind is is expressed 2283 01:28:21,290 --> 01:28:19,320 and seated if you will across these 2284 01:28:23,450 --> 01:28:21,300 different mindscapes which end up 2285 01:28:26,510 --> 01:28:23,460 appearing to US during a certain period 2286 01:28:28,310 --> 01:28:26,520 of our Evolution as the physical reality 2287 01:28:29,990 --> 01:28:28,320 and that's when we see things like space 2288 01:28:32,870 --> 01:28:30,000 and time but again those ultimately 2289 01:28:34,490 --> 01:28:32,880 being indicative of a deeper reality 2290 01:28:36,770 --> 01:28:34,500 that is ultimately based in 2291 01:28:38,629 --> 01:28:36,780 consciousness 2292 01:28:41,990 --> 01:28:38,639 well I don't know about you friend but 2293 01:28:44,629 --> 01:28:42,000 my mind has been blown uh to Smithereens 2294 01:28:47,390 --> 01:28:44,639 in this episode maybe more so than any 2295 01:28:49,850 --> 01:28:47,400 episode we've done so far because it is 2296 01:28:53,209 --> 01:28:49,860 as we said earlier it's a topic that's 2297 01:28:57,410 --> 01:28:53,219 not given I think enough attention it's 2298 01:28:59,030 --> 01:28:57,420 not discussed enough and explored and so 2299 01:29:01,129 --> 01:28:59,040 you know we've taken an hour and a half 2300 01:29:02,810 --> 01:29:01,139 here to try to explore some of the 2301 01:29:05,450 --> 01:29:02,820 Contours but really I would argue we 2302 01:29:08,390 --> 01:29:05,460 need a lot more exploration of this 2303 01:29:10,189 --> 01:29:08,400 notion and what it may mean for us and 2304 01:29:12,770 --> 01:29:10,199 I'm hoping maybe that this conversation 2305 01:29:15,530 --> 01:29:12,780 will serve as a catalyst for a wider 2306 01:29:17,810 --> 01:29:15,540 conversation in the community about this 2307 01:29:19,370 --> 01:29:17,820 particular hypothesis and and what it 2308 01:29:22,250 --> 01:29:19,380 may mean and I hope that folks that may 2309 01:29:23,450 --> 01:29:22,260 have dismissed it before outrighted and 2310 01:29:26,510 --> 01:29:23,460 said ah that does that doesn't really 2311 01:29:29,030 --> 01:29:26,520 make sense to me maybe we've explored 2312 01:29:30,590 --> 01:29:29,040 some things this evening that make it 2313 01:29:32,330 --> 01:29:30,600 more attractive more appealing and help 2314 01:29:34,610 --> 01:29:32,340 answer some of the questions that we 2315 01:29:37,250 --> 01:29:34,620 have around the phenomena 2316 01:29:39,410 --> 01:29:37,260 indeed and I would say I would quote 2317 01:29:41,450 --> 01:29:39,420 Jeff here and saying that I 2318 01:29:43,790 --> 01:29:41,460 would really encourage us and others to 2319 01:29:45,830 --> 01:29:43,800 refuse to land as they say 2320 01:29:47,629 --> 01:29:45,840 we have this innate desire to understand 2321 01:29:49,970 --> 01:29:47,639 things as human beings 2322 01:29:52,550 --> 01:29:49,980 but we should learn from history and if 2323 01:29:54,830 --> 01:29:52,560 there's one aspect of History I think is 2324 01:29:58,310 --> 01:29:54,840 so obvious when you look at it it's that 2325 01:30:01,129 --> 01:29:58,320 our current conventions are transcended 2326 01:30:03,350 --> 01:30:01,139 by deeper conventions that blow up or at 2327 01:30:05,870 --> 01:30:03,360 least greatly recontextualize previous 2328 01:30:08,030 --> 01:30:05,880 Notions this is how science advances 2329 01:30:09,649 --> 01:30:08,040 right I think we are undoubtedly 2330 01:30:11,930 --> 01:30:09,659 regardless of the ultimate nature of 2331 01:30:14,629 --> 01:30:11,940 this phenomenon we were at the precipice 2332 01:30:16,070 --> 01:30:14,639 of a scientific revolution because what 2333 01:30:17,689 --> 01:30:16,080 this is telling us about reality doesn't 2334 01:30:19,129 --> 01:30:17,699 fit with any of the current model it 2335 01:30:20,390 --> 01:30:19,139 can't you can't stuff it in like you're 2336 01:30:22,250 --> 01:30:20,400 trying to stuff a shirt inside a 2337 01:30:25,010 --> 01:30:22,260 suitcase that's already packed solid 2338 01:30:26,689 --> 01:30:25,020 this will change our understanding but 2339 01:30:28,790 --> 01:30:26,699 what I want to encourage people to do is 2340 01:30:31,129 --> 01:30:28,800 be comfortable with getting closer to 2341 01:30:33,169 --> 01:30:31,139 the truth without ever having a full 2342 01:30:35,510 --> 01:30:33,179 understanding of what that means because 2343 01:30:36,709 --> 01:30:35,520 that is a journey and as they say the 2344 01:30:38,930 --> 01:30:36,719 journey matters more than the 2345 01:30:40,669 --> 01:30:38,940 destination we are growing we are 2346 01:30:41,810 --> 01:30:40,679 learning we're seeing more but if 2347 01:30:44,330 --> 01:30:41,820 there's one thing we can learn from 2348 01:30:46,430 --> 01:30:44,340 history it's recognizing that the Folly 2349 01:30:48,770 --> 01:30:46,440 is to assume that we are close to having 2350 01:30:50,689 --> 01:30:48,780 the entire picture be okay that we are 2351 01:30:52,550 --> 01:30:50,699 not and be excited about there's always 2352 01:30:55,370 --> 01:30:52,560 more to come 2353 01:30:57,950 --> 01:30:55,380 and on that note May the quality of our 2354 01:30:59,930 --> 01:30:57,960 questions shaped by a desire for 2355 01:31:02,390 --> 01:30:59,940 understanding enhance our journey of 2356 01:31:04,310 --> 01:31:02,400 Discovery and may our Travelers broaden 2357 01:31:07,070 --> 01:31:04,320 the sphere of our Consciousness 2358 01:31:11,689 --> 01:31:07,080 reminding us that new discoveries beget 2359 01:31:13,729 --> 01:31:11,699 New Horizons as always Adventure awaits 2360 01:31:17,620 --> 01:31:13,739 we'll see you next time on liminal 2361 01:31:21,420 --> 01:31:19,750 [Music] 2362 01:31:27,730 --> 01:31:21,430 [Laughter]
