through a 64 00:02:20,790 --> 00:02:19,920 series of radio broadcasts known as the 65 00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:20,800 fireside 66 00:02:25,510 --> 00:02:23,520 chats his aim was to reassure the common

--> 00:02:44,959 going out there riding the waves of the 77 00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:47,440 vast and choppy conspiracy from sunny 78 00:02:51,110 --> 00:02:49,440 san diego i'm greg carlwood 79 00:02:53,750 --> 00:02:51,120 and long time listeners know we have 80 00:02:56,470 --> 00:02:53,760 spent a lot of time talking about health 81 00:02:58,949 --> 00:02:56,480 consciousness magic manifestation 82 00:03:00,070 --> 00:02:58,959 multi-dimensional entities mind control 83 00:03:02,830 --> 00:03:00,080 black budgets 84 00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:02,840 cultural manipulation geopolitics 85 00:03:06,070 --> 00:03:04,319 spirituality power 86 00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:06,080 corruption and many other things that 87 00:03:09,910 --> 00:03:08,159 make up the construct of our carefully 88 00:03:12,790 --> 00:03:09,920 managed human terrarium 89 00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:12,800 but we don't focus too often on evil by 90 00:03:15,190 --> 00:03:13,760 name 91 00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:15,200 it's certainly in the mix of our 92 00:03:19,589 --> 00:03:17,120 conversations but some might find it 93 00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:19,599 curious how rarely society tackles the 94 00:03:23,430 --> 00:03:21,120 notion of evil head on 95 00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:23,440 which didn't always seem to be true 96 00:03:27,509 --> 00:03:25,040 maybe it's social engineering 97 00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:27,519 widespread neglect or straight up denial 98 00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:28,480 but it seems like 99 00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:31,120 slowly over time the foresight to keep a 100 00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:33,440 spotlight shined on evil has slowly 101 00:03:37,509 --> 00:03:35,200 faded away to the point that people have 102 00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:37,519 forgotten how to even identify it or if 103 00:03:41,509 --> 00:03:39,040 it's really even there 104 00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:41,519 it's this ambiguity and even widespread 105 00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:43,599 apathy that seems a bit out of place in 106 00:03:46,149 --> 00:03:45,280 the human experience but it's not 107 00:03:48,149 --> 00:03:46,159 arbitrary 108 00:03:49,990 --> 00:03:48,159 because as we know the greatest trick 109 00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:50,000 the devil ever pulled was to convince 110 00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:52,000 the world he didn't exist 111 00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:54,159 well here to reintroduce us is my friend 112 00:03:58,229 --> 00:03:56,480 and yours the great alex zakirus as he's 113 00:04:00,630 --> 00:03:58,239 written a new book entitled why 114 00:04:02,390 --> 00:04:00,640 evil matters how science and religion 115 00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:02,400 fumbled the big one 116 00:04:06,390 --> 00:04:04,560 many of you know alex from the skeptico 117 00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:06,400 podcast where he focuses on the 118 00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:08,159 exploration of consciousness and 119 00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:09,840 regularly points out that if a 120 00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:11,920 scientific discipline and its gaggle of 121 00:04:15,429 --> 00:04:13,760 academics refuse to fold in the 122 00:04:16,150 --> 00:04:15,439 existence of consciousness into their 123 00:04:18,789 --> 00:04:16,160 model 124 00:04:21,030 --> 00:04:18,799 how valuable is their work some would 125 00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:21,040 say it's half-baked at least and now the 126 00:04:25,350 --> 00:04:22,800 same can be said about the ignorance of 127 00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:25,360 evil in a lot of these same areas 128 00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:26,720 i don't think this is going to be one 129 00:04:30,070 --> 00:04:28,560 for the faint of heart but let's do the 130 00:04:32,469 --> 00:04:30,080 damn thing one of my favorite 131 00:04:34,550 --> 00:04:32,479 confrontational podcasters the socal 132 00:04:35,110 --> 00:04:34,560

00:05:02,710 --> 00:05:00,560 but it is a real pleasure man you've 146 00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:02,720 been a great friend and colleague and we 147 00:05:06,469 --> 00:05:04,320 got a lot to catch up on 148 00:05:08,629 --> 00:05:06,479 i'm excited to see where this goes but 149 00:05:09,189 --> 00:05:08,639 let's kick it off with the obvious first 150 00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:09,199 question 151 00:05:14,150 --> 00:05:11,759 as to what this new book is about why 152 00:05:17,189 --> 00:05:14,160 this topic what's the elevator pitch for 153 00:05:17,909 --> 00:05:17,199 why evil matters i mean it's sincerely 154 00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:17,919 when i say 155 00:05:22,390 --> 00:05:20,240 i really couldn't have done it better 156 00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:22,400 than you did because you captured 157 00:05:27,270 --> 00:05:25,680 the subtlety of it that i gotta say 80 158 00:05:28,469 --> 00:05:27,280 percent of people miss right at the 159 00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:28,479 beginning they come right out of the 160 00:05:31,590 --> 00:05:29,360 gate and they go 161 00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:31,600 is this evil well what about this and 162 00:05:35,029 --> 00:05:32,639 you're not kind 163 00:05:37,029 --> 00:05:35,039 and it's like this isn't a book about 164 00:05:38,950 --> 00:05:37,039 what is evil or what 165 00:05:41,590 --> 00:05:38,960 you know is this more evil than 166 00:05:44,790 --> 00:05:41,600 something else is it more evil to 167 00:05:49,189 --> 00:05:44,800 drone strike a wedding party 168 00:05:52,469 --> 00:05:49,199 in yemen versus the evil pandemic 169 00:05:54,390 --> 00:05:52,479 it's a question of you know why looking 170 00:05:57,830 --> 00:05:54,400 through that lens 171 00:06:00,230 --> 00:05:57,840 might be a necessary first step and 172 00:06:01,590 --> 00:06:00,240 just as you perfectly said why aren't we 173 00:06:04,070 --> 00:06:01,600 doing that you know because 174 00:06:06,629 --> 00:06:04,080 as you alluded to we used to be kind of 175 00:06:09,270 --> 00:06:06,639 more tuned into 176 00:06:09,749 --> 00:06:09,280 asking the question the initial question 177 00:06:12,710 --> 00:06:09,759 of 178 00:06:13,510 --> 00:06:12,720 you know should we be investigating evil 179 00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:13,520 yeah 180 00:06:17,510 --> 00:06:16,720 it is an absolutely great topic to 181 00:06:20,070 --> 00:06:17,520 tackle 182 00:06:21,350 --> 00:06:20,080 and i agree it just seems like 183 00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:21,360 especially in the last 184 00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:24,000 year the conversations i've been trying 185 00:06:27,990 --> 00:06:25,520 to have with people are 186 00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:28,000 look i'm convinced the guest is usually 187 00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:30,000 convinced the audience is convinced 188 00:06:34,710 --> 00:06:32,720 but we need to increase our numbers in 189 00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:34,720 terms of people who think there might be 190 00:06:38,950 --> 00:06:36,720 something fishy going on here 191 00:06:40,070 --> 00:06:38,960 and when you reverse engineer that all 192 00:06:43,029 --> 00:06:40,080 the way down 193 00:06:45,350 --> 00:06:43,039 to the beginning it's like the issue is 194 00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:45,360 that many of our friends and family 195 00:06:49,189 --> 00:06:47,520 don't think that people in positions of 196 00:06:50,390 --> 00:06:49,199 power could have anything but good 197 00:06:53,029 --> 00:06:50,400 intentions 198 00:06:53,990 --> 00:06:53,039 and so they aren't even putting evil or 199 00:06:56,629 --> 00:06:54,000 nefariousness 200 00:06:57,430 --> 00:06:56,639 on the radar and if you can't do that 201 00:06:59,110 --> 00:06:57,440 you'll never 202 00:07:00,950 --> 00:06:59,120 wake up to what's really going on out 203 00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:00,960 there that is 204 00:07:06,710 --> 00:07:04,080 perfectly put and i don't think 205 00:07:07,830 --> 00:07:06,720 i realized that when i started this 206 00:07:10,950 --> 00:07:07,840 project down the 207 00:07:13,270 --> 00:07:10,960 evil path but it really did become clear 208 00:07:15,189 --> 00:07:13,280 in the last year with the pandemic 209 00:07:16,150 --> 00:07:15,199 because it's very very subtle what 210 00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:16,160 you're saying 211 00:07:21,430 --> 00:07:19,199 and it's this divide between science 212 00:07:23,589 --> 00:07:21,440 who we just kind of go along with the 213 00:07:25,830 --> 00:07:23,599 idea that well they don't have any 214 00:07:27,189 --> 00:07:25,840 stake in the evil game to begin with 215 00:07:28,629 --> 00:07:27,199 because they don't believe it could 216 00:07:31,189 --> 00:07:28,639 possibly exist 217 00:07:31,830 --> 00:07:31,199 so we'll just let them march along on 218 00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:31,840 their own 219 00:07:38,390 --> 00:07:34,880 well hold up now wait a minute if 220 00:07:41,029 --> 00:07:38,400 evil does exist if evil 221 00:07:41,990 --> 00:07:41,039 is a part of this overall fabric 222 00:07:44,790 --> 00:07:42,000 especially 223 00:07:46,710 --> 00:07:44,800 in this extended fabric of consciousness 224 00:07:49,350 --> 00:07:46,720 that we know exists out there 225 00:07:50,150 --> 00:07:49,360 then why would we give them a pass why 226 00:07:53,589 --> 00:07:50,160 would we 227 00:07:55,350 --> 00:07:53,599 just a priori assume that science 228 00:07:56,950 --> 00:07:55,360 doesn't have any stake in that 229 00:08:00,309 --> 00:07:56,960 it doesn't we shouldn't even hold them 230 00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:00,319 accountable for analyzing or evaluating 231 00:08:05,909 --> 00:08:03,120 whether any of that is at play let alone 232 00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:05,919 as you're going next level and saying 233 00:08:12,309 --> 00:08:09,280 could their motives possibly be 234 00:08:16,869 --> 00:08:12,319 something that we would characterize as 235 00:08:18,869 --> 00:08:16,879 nefarious evil not so good 236 00:08:19,909 --> 00:08:18,879 yeah it's a question at least worth 237 00:08:21,589 --> 00:08:19,919 asking 238 00:08:23,110 --> 00:08:21,599 a lot of the guests i've interviewed 239 00:08:25,350 --> 00:08:23,120 they've been talking about 240 00:08:26,150 --> 00:08:25,360 dumbing us down for years and part of 241 00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:26,160 that 242 00:08:30,869 --> 00:08:28,639 is making us ignorant of all sorts of 243 00:08:31,670 --> 00:08:30,879 things and having this big blind spot 244 00:08:33,589 --> 00:08:31,680 for evil 245 00:08:35,350 --> 00:08:33,599 and whether you go to the rockefellers 246 00:08:37,909 --> 00:08:35,360 the rothschilds bill gates 247 00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:37,919 these people put a lot of money into 248 00:08:41,829 --> 00:08:38,880 managing 249 00:08:42,790 --> 00:08:41,839 their pr and their reputation and i 250 00:08:45,750 --> 00:08:42,800 don't know that 251 00:08:46,630 --> 00:08:45,760 truly altruistic people need to even do 252 00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:46,640 that so 253 00:08:49,910 --> 00:08:49,200 that's just another red flag but it is a 254 00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:49,920 great book 255 00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:52,560 that weaves through your own thoughts as 256 00:08:55,350 --> 00:08:54,480 well as the insights of many of your 257 00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:55,360 guests 258 00:08:58,790 --> 00:08:56,880 it's something that i've been trying to 259 00:09:00,790 --> 00:08:58,800 work on myself actually so 260 00:09:02,470 --> 00:09:00,800 to read it it's great to see something 261 00:09:04,470 --> 00:09:02,480 in that kind of format 262 00:09:06,790 --> 00:09:04,480 and it really explores some interesting 263 00:09:09,430 --> 00:09:06,800 ideas but i guess when it comes to 264 00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:09,440 the guests that made it into the book 265 00:09:12,630 --> 00:09:11,680 what do you think surprised you most 266 00:09:15,910 --> 00:09:12,640 about their 267 00:09:18,230 --> 00:09:15,920 reactions or responses 268 00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:18,240 when you'd bring up the notion of evil 269 00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:20,320 in these conversations 270 00:09:26,230 --> 00:09:23,440 well you know it kind of came about 271 00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:26,240 almost the other way greg where i kept 272 00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:27,600 bumping into it 273 00:09:31,190 --> 00:09:30,080 and then i kind of caught on what was 274 00:09:33,350 --> 00:09:31,200 going on 275 00:09:34,630 --> 00:09:33,360 you know i start out in the book with an 276 00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:34,640 interview that i actually did a couple 277 00:09:37,509 --> 00:09:35,440 years ago 278 00:09:39,910 --> 00:09:37,519 and it isn't exactly where i was going 279 00:09:43,030 --> 00:09:39,920 but was with an fbi guy 280 00:09:46,710 --> 00:09:43,040 a guy who was an undercover fbi agent 281 00:09:50,230 --> 00:09:46,720 for like 20 years and he was telling me 282 00:09:51,670 --> 00:09:50,240 his story about nambla remember namla 283 00:09:53,350 --> 00:09:51,680 from south park you know 284 00:09:54,949 --> 00:09:53,360 right because he was on the namla case 285 00:09:55,910 --> 00:09:54,959 and the first thing he said is you know 286 00:09:59,509 --> 00:09:55,920 you think 287 00:10:01,910 --> 00:09:59,519 undercover is what everybody 288 00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:01,920 in the fbi does and goes actually it's 289 00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:03,920 not like that because only a small group 290 00:10:07,670 --> 00:10:04,880 of people 291 00:10:09,670 --> 00:10:07,680 can really do the whole thing of totally 292 00:10:11,829 --> 00:10:09,680 getting in character and totally 293 00:10:13,590 --> 00:10:11,839 winning the confidence of these people 294 00:10:14,949 --> 00:10:13,600 he said so when somebody came in and 295 00:10:16,470 --> 00:10:14,959 said 296 00:10:18,310 --> 00:10:16,480 hey we have a new case and it's really 297 00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:18,320 weird there are only a few people to 298 00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:19,120 choose from 299 00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:20,880 and i was one of the people who got 300 00:10:27,509 --> 00:10:23,760 chosen so this is a guy who's done 301 00:10:28,870 --> 00:10:27,519 drug smuggling gangs all sorts of crazy 302 00:10:32,069 --> 00:10:28,880 things in his career 303 00:10:35,509 --> 00:10:32,079 and next up for him is he's meeting with 304 00:10:37,430 --> 00:10:35,519 these group of really creepy mostly 305 00:10:40,949 --> 00:10:37,440 middle-aged men 306 00:10:42,150 --> 00:10:40,959 who are interested in having sex with 307 00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:42,160 little boys 308 00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:44,160 little girls sometimes but a lot of 309 00:10:49,350 --> 00:10:45,360 little boys 310 00:10:52,230 --> 00:10:49,360 and the story he tells is going to 311 00:10:53,910 --> 00:10:52,240 one of their field trips to times square 312 00:10:55,829 --> 00:10:53,920 new york city back when 313 00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:55,839 times square was really time square 314 00:10:59,750 --> 00:10:57,760 before everything happened 315 00:11:01,190 --> 00:10:59,760 but they used to have a big toys r us 316 00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:01,200 there 317 00:11:07,910 --> 00:11:04,720 inside the store 318 00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:07,920 it was like 20 feet 30 feet high and he 319 00:11:12,949 --> 00:11:09,760 was standing there 320 00:11:14,870 --> 00:11:12,959 mulling around with all these men these 321 00:11:17,590 --> 00:11:14,880 nambla guys 322 00:11:19,750 --> 00:11:17,600 in nambla for people who don't know you 323 00:11:23,110 --> 00:11:19,760 know we just made that passing reference 324 00:11:25,030 --> 00:11:23,120 to south park is the north american man 325 00:11:27,030 --> 00:11:25,040 boy love association 326 00:11:29,110 --> 00:11:27,040 so they kind of created this political 327 00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:29,120 front for pedophiles 328 00:11:34,069 --> 00:11:31,519 to make it sound like oh we're trying to 329 00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:34,079 advance this politically 330 00:11:38,230 --> 00:11:37,040 and he says you know that at no time 331 00:11:41,430 --> 00:11:38,240 were these people at all 332 00:11:43,430 --> 00:11:41,440 interested in any political agenda they 333 00:11:45,590 --> 00:11:43,440 just wanted to get together 334 00:11:47,590 --> 00:11:45,600 and rape and not only rape but they 335 00:11:49,910 --> 00:11:47,600 wanted to hurt these little kids 336 00:11:50,949 --> 00:11:49,920 and back to times square he said he was 337 00:11:54,150 --> 00:11:50,959 standing there 338 00:11:56,949 --> 00:11:54,160 in the store and these men are looking 339 00:11:57,750 --> 00:11:56,959 over the rail and they're looking at the 340 00:11:59,829 --> 00:11:57,760 parents 341 00:12:01,269 --> 00:11:59,839 but they're looking at these kids and 342 00:12:02,710 --> 00:12:01,279 they're talking about what they want to 343 00:12:05,190 --> 00:12:02,720 do to these kids 344 00:12:06,230 --> 00:12:05,200 and it's not just about sex it's about 345 00:12:08,230 --> 00:12:06,240 violence 346 00:12:09,990 --> 00:12:08,240 and how they want to hurt him and he 347 00:12:13,030 --> 00:12:10,000 says alex 348 00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:13,040 if i wasn't undercover i would have 349 00:12:15,990 --> 00:12:14,560 thrown those guys 350 00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:16,000 i would have tossed them over that 351 00:12:20,790 --> 00:12:17,600 20-foot rail and 352 00:12:22,389 --> 00:12:20,800 enjoyed watching their head smash on the 353 00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:22,399 ground 354 00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:25,760 so two things one i think a lot of us 355 00:12:29,590 --> 00:12:26,720 can relate 356 00:12:30,230 --> 00:12:29,600 to that feeling that we get when we feel 357 00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:30,240 like 358 00:12:33,750 --> 00:12:32,480 that's going to be inflicted on somebody 359 00:12:35,590 --> 00:12:33,760 especially somebody as 360 00:12:38,069 --> 00:12:35,600 helpless as a six or seven year old 361 00:12:39,829 --> 00:12:38,079 child but what it also brought into 362 00:12:41,829 --> 00:12:39,839 focus for me 363 00:12:44,389 --> 00:12:41,839 and this is what i asked them about i 364 00:12:47,910 --> 00:12:44,399 asked them about the evil question 365 00:12:50,790 --> 00:12:47,920 because it almost like snaps us 366 00:12:52,230 --> 00:12:50,800 out of that i don't know just kind of 367 00:12:53,430 --> 00:12:52,240 lull that you were talking about at the 368 00:12:55,910 --> 00:12:53,440 beginning of the show 369 00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:55,920 where you go no that's freaking evil 370 00:12:59,910 --> 00:12:57,120 that is freaking 371 00:13:01,670 --> 00:12:59,920 evil there don't tell me about you know 372 00:13:04,710 --> 00:13:01,680 sexual preference or 373 00:13:05,190 --> 00:13:04,720 that is evil what they wanted to do was 374 00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:05,200 evil 375 00:13:08,230 --> 00:13:06,800 and then as soon as you grab hold of 376 00:13:11,990 --> 00:13:08,240 yourself you go 377 00:13:14,629 --> 00:13:12,000 okay if i know in my gut 378 00:13:15,350 --> 00:13:14,639 that that's evil well what does that 379 00:13:18,389 --> 00:13:15,360 mean 380 00:13:21,110 --> 00:13:18,399 isn't just this 381 00:13:23,110 --> 00:13:21,120 evil is a social construct evil is 382 00:13:25,910 --> 00:13:23,120 whatever anyone says it is 383 00:13:26,389 --> 00:13:25,920 it's like no man no there's something 384 00:13:30,150 --> 00:13:26,399 else 385 00:13:33,190 --> 00:13:30,160 to it and that story to me 386 00:13:35,590 --> 00:13:33,200 kind of helps kind of jump me into that 387 00:13:36,629 --> 00:13:35,600 in a way kind of shake me out of the fog 388 00:13:40,310 --> 00:13:36,639 what do you think do you know what i 389 00:13:42,470 --> 00:13:40,320 mean yeah absolutely i think that 390 00:13:43,829 --> 00:13:42,480 we are at a point and this comes up in 391 00:13:46,470 --> 00:13:43,839 the book as well that 392 00:13:47,670 --> 00:13:46,480 we're trying to justify everything with 393 00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:47,680 science like you 394 00:13:51,430 --> 00:13:50,240 say about sexual preference or it's a 395 00:13:54,230 --> 00:13:51,440 mental condition 396 00:13:54,710 --> 00:13:54,240 it's like well sometimes it is just evil 397 00:13:57,189 --> 00:13:54,720 and 398 00:13:58,069 --> 00:13:57,199 this is kind of how the devil slips in 399 00:14:01,670 --> 00:13:58,079 you know just 400 00:14:03,910 --> 00:14:01,680 so to speak because if you're in denial 401 00:14:06,310 --> 00:14:03,920 you don't really recognize what's going 402 00:14:08,230 --> 00:14:06,320 on and it's this justification 403 00:14:09,910 --> 00:14:08,240 which is always it is through science 404 00:14:11,829 --> 00:14:09,920 which is kind of the weird thing about 405 00:14:12,949 --> 00:14:11,839 it like we're looking for a scientific 406 00:14:15,189 --> 00:14:12,959 explanation 407 00:14:16,550 --> 00:14:15,199 because we have removed spirituality 408 00:14:18,870 --> 00:14:16,560 from the world 409 00:14:20,949 --> 00:14:18,880 at large so it's got to have some 410 00:14:21,670 --> 00:14:20,959 explanation and we just can't fathom it 411 00:14:25,910 --> 00:14:21,680 instead of just 412 00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:25,920 pinning evil for evil we try to 413 00:14:30,550 --> 00:14:28,560 do all these mental gymnastics to find a 414 00:14:31,910 --> 00:14:30,560 scientific explanation that then i don't 415 00:14:32,230 --> 00:14:31,920 know what they want to do at that point 416 00:14:36,550 --> 00:14:32,240 just 417 00:14:38,790 --> 00:14:36,560 strange but 418 00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:38,800 we used to have our guard up a lot more 419 00:14:41,350 --> 00:14:40,320 against evil and we used to be more 420 00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:41,360 vigilant 421 00:14:45,110 --> 00:14:43,360 and i think it's probably time to return 422 00:14:46,949 --> 00:14:45,120 to that 423 00:14:48,870 --> 00:14:46,959 well you said a couple of things there 424 00:14:50,069 --> 00:14:48,880 that i think are really interesting that 425 00:14:52,870 --> 00:14:50,079 i want to return to 426 00:14:54,150 --> 00:14:52,880 is the last thing you said about having 427 00:14:56,310 --> 00:14:54,160 our guard up 428 00:14:57,990 --> 00:14:56,320 i hadn't really thought of that but that 429 00:15:00,150 --> 00:14:58,000 definitely has to be in play 430 00:15:02,790 --> 00:15:00,160 here right because when i was 431 00:15:05,350 --> 00:15:02,800 flip-flopping back and forth between 432 00:15:05,990 --> 00:15:05,360 why is science so whack about this why 433 00:15:08,550 --> 00:15:06,000 can't they 434 00:15:09,189 --> 00:15:08,560 figure out at least the most obvious of 435 00:15:11,670 --> 00:15:09,199 it and 436 00:15:13,189 --> 00:15:11,680 maybe we'll talk about that in a minute 437 00:15:15,509 --> 00:15:13,199 with the 438 00:15:16,389 --> 00:15:15,519 guy from ohio state university who isn't 439 00:15:18,470 --> 00:15:16,399 sure 440 00:15:19,590 --> 00:15:18,480 about whether the evil he's encountered 441 00:15:21,829 --> 00:15:19,600 is really evil 442 00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:21,839 but you know back to kind of flipping 443 00:15:26,389 --> 00:15:23,199 back and forth about that 444 00:15:29,189 --> 00:15:26,399 you go well what could be the agenda 445 00:15:31,350 --> 00:15:29,199 and i think one of the agenda items is 446 00:15:34,150 --> 00:15:31,360 exactly as you just put it 447 00:15:34,629 --> 00:15:34,160 in that it kind of lets your guard down 448 00:15:38,710 --> 00:15:34,639 because 449 00:15:41,030 --> 00:15:38,720 if evil is merely a social construct 450 00:15:42,550 --> 00:15:41,040 merely something that well we all agree 451 00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:42,560 on and the drone strikes 452 00:15:47,350 --> 00:15:45,120 in yemen hey you know it's kind of gray 453 00:15:47,829 --> 00:15:47,360 because maybe those yemenis guys were 454 00:15:49,430 --> 00:15:47,839 really 455 00:15:51,030 --> 00:15:49,440 terrorists and maybe they were going to 456 00:15:54,069 --> 00:15:51,040 kill thousands so 457 00:15:56,389 --> 00:15:54,079 yeah i guess everything is kind of gray 458 00:15:58,150 --> 00:15:56,399 and it really takes like we're just 459 00:16:02,030 --> 00:15:58,160 talking about you have to kind of 460 00:16:04,069 --> 00:16:02,040 then realize the implications that 461 00:16:05,910 --> 00:16:04,079 scientifically which is the connection 462 00:16:09,269 --> 00:16:05,920 you made which i think is so great and 463 00:16:10,870 --> 00:16:09,279 what i'm all about is to say what are 464 00:16:13,910 --> 00:16:10,880 the philosophical 465 00:16:17,189 --> 00:16:13,920 and scientific implications of 466 00:16:18,310 --> 00:16:17,199 saying that evil is merely a social 467 00:16:20,710 --> 00:16:18,320 construct 468 00:16:21,590 --> 00:16:20,720 what it gets back to is saying well 469 00:16:31,829 --> 00:16:21,600 really 470 00:16:33,350 --> 00:16:31,839 bad on any kind of scale and you know 471 00:16:35,269 --> 00:16:33,360 what like greg 472 00:16:36,710 --> 00:16:35,279 you've been down this path so long and 473 00:16:37,910 --> 00:16:36,720 i've heard you so many times on the show 474 00:16:39,590 --> 00:16:37,920 you know you're way past the 475 00:16:42,870 --> 00:16:39,600 materialistic science 476 00:16:46,389 --> 00:16:42,880 but i would throw that out as hey 477 00:16:48,949 --> 00:16:46,399 that is a legitimate question right 478 00:16:49,590 --> 00:16:48,959 but the problem is the question has been 479 00:16:52,629 --> 00:16:49,600 answered 480 00:16:54,069 --> 00:16:52,639 and it's not true you know scientific 481 00:16:57,670 --> 00:16:54,079 materialism 482 00:17:01,030 --> 00:16:57,680 fails consciousness is real 483 00:17:03,990 --> 00:17:01,040 extended consciousness is real so 484 00:17:05,189 --> 00:17:04,000 we have to bring back on the table this 485 00:17:08,150 --> 00:17:05,199 whole thing of 486 00:17:08,789 --> 00:17:08,160 is there a moral imperative could there 487 00:17:12,470 --> 00:17:08,799 be 488 00:17:15,990 --> 00:17:12,480 an evil 489 00:17:17,590 --> 00:17:16,000 and that's really without going too far 490 00:17:19,110 --> 00:17:17,600 just to get to that point would be a 491 00:17:21,029 --> 00:17:19,120 huge step forward because we're not 492 00:17:24,710 --> 00:17:21,039 there 493 00:17:27,429 --> 00:17:24,720 yes i agree it does heavily relate to 494 00:17:29,430 --> 00:17:27,439 the question of is there meaning in the 495 00:17:30,549 --> 00:17:29,440 universe and i know that you've had your 496 00:17:33,350 --> 00:17:30,559 frustrations with 497 00:17:34,470 --> 00:17:33,360 grant cameron's perspective as well as i 498 00:17:36,549 --> 00:17:34,480 have which is that 499 00:17:38,310 --> 00:17:36,559 well it's all consciousness man it's 500 00:17:40,630 --> 00:17:38,320 just all happening in the spectrum 501 00:17:42,390 --> 00:17:40,640 it's like okay maybe at a higher level 502 00:17:42,710 --> 00:17:42,400 ultimately that's true but it's really 503 00:17:47,510 --> 00:17:42,720 not 504 00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:47,520 helpful for understanding 505 00:17:51,430 --> 00:17:49,360 the motives of these interactions with 506 00:17:53,750 --> 00:17:51,440 non-human intelligences 507 00:17:54,470 --> 00:17:53,760 it just doesn't really tell us anything 508 00:17:59,190 --> 00:17:54,480 so 509 00:18:00,150 --> 00:17:59,200 people just in ufology as an example 510 00:18:01,909 --> 00:18:00,160 that 511 00:18:03,590 --> 00:18:01,919 we're trying to get a handle on should 512 00:18:04,789 --> 00:18:03,600 we be interacting with some of the stuff 513 00:18:06,630 --> 00:18:04,799 we're interacting with 514 00:18:08,230 --> 00:18:06,640 and they just keep bringing it back to 515 00:18:10,470 --> 00:18:08,240 it's all consciousness and if you can 516 00:18:13,029 --> 00:18:10,480 recognize evil you realize well 517 00:18:13,990 --> 00:18:13,039 you can't ration with it you're not 518 00:18:16,789 --> 00:18:14,000 going to reason with 519 00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:16,799 it it's just just you should ostracize 520 00:18:19,430 --> 00:18:17,440 it from 521 00:18:21,510 --> 00:18:19,440 yourself and the people you care about 522 00:18:24,150 --> 00:18:21,520 and there should be more vigilance about 523 00:18:25,909 --> 00:18:24,160 protection but i didn't want to switch 524 00:18:27,350 --> 00:18:25,919 gears on you too much but 525 00:18:28,870 --> 00:18:27,360 this is also interesting because you're 526 00:18:30,070 --> 00:18:28,880 always having this question about 527 00:18:32,310 --> 00:18:30,080 consciousness 528 00:18:34,390 --> 00:18:32,320 with the scientific community you're 529 00:18:35,750 --> 00:18:34,400 still it's in the book and in the show 530 00:18:38,870 --> 00:18:35,760 that you still have to 531 00:18:41,669 --> 00:18:38,880 have this consciousness conversation and 532 00:18:41,990 --> 00:18:41,679 there in some cases in denial or maybe 533 00:18:44,150 --> 00:18:42,000 even 534 00:18:46,070 --> 00:18:44,160 outward rebellion against the idea of 535 00:18:48,630 --> 00:18:46,080 consciousness being real and it does 536 00:18:50,789 --> 00:18:48,640 make you wonder about the value of their 537 00:18:52,070 --> 00:18:50,799 academic work when they won't fold in 538 00:18:55,190 --> 00:18:52,080 consciousness at all 539 00:18:58,070 --> 00:18:55,200 well let's apply that to what's gone on 540 00:18:59,669 --> 00:18:58,080 in the last year and a half because the 541 00:19:01,029 --> 00:18:59,679 way you approach this stuff has been 542 00:19:03,029 --> 00:19:01,039 really helpful for me 543 00:19:05,510 --> 00:19:03,039 because i apply that same sort of 544 00:19:08,390 --> 00:19:05,520 thinking to medical science and that 545 00:19:09,110 --> 00:19:08,400 most of these virologists or cdc medical 546 00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:09,120 experts 547 00:19:12,390 --> 00:19:10,559 i think they're largely in the 548 00:19:14,950 --> 00:19:12,400 materialist paradigm too 549 00:19:16,310 --> 00:19:14,960 and so i ask well if you still don't 550 00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:16,320 understand or acknowledge 551 00:19:20,390 --> 00:19:18,240 consciousness if you're not factoring 552 00:19:22,789 --> 00:19:20,400 that into what it is to be human 553 00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:22,799 even if you have good intentions how can 554 00:19:25,669 --> 00:19:24,640 i really trust your vaccine you don't 555 00:19:28,870 --> 00:19:25,679 even understand 556 00:19:31,430 --> 00:19:28,880 the human ecosystem really 557 00:19:32,310 --> 00:19:31,440 well that's a big big big point it's a 558 00:19:33,909 --> 00:19:32,320 great point 559 00:19:36,150 --> 00:19:33,919 and you've kind of brought the whole 560 00:19:38,789 --> 00:19:36,160 world into 561 00:19:40,070 --> 00:19:38,799 one little focal point which i think is 562 00:19:43,510 --> 00:19:40,080 awesome and that is 563 00:19:45,190 --> 00:19:43,520 yeah i would almost return it back to 564 00:19:46,230 --> 00:19:45,200 the question of evil because that's 565 00:19:47,669 --> 00:19:46,240 where i thought you were 566 00:19:49,830 --> 00:19:47,679 you were going but i think we can get to 567 00:19:53,430 --> 00:19:49,840 the same place because 568 00:19:54,470 --> 00:19:53,440 what i've developed over the course of 569 00:19:55,990 --> 00:19:54,480 doing this and i 570 00:19:57,830 --> 00:19:56,000 certainly didn't see this at the 571 00:20:00,230 --> 00:19:57,840 beginning but 572 00:20:01,750 --> 00:20:00,240 kind of as you were alluding to the 573 00:20:04,950 --> 00:20:01,760 whole evil thing now 574 00:20:06,149 --> 00:20:04,960 is almost like a litmus test like you 575 00:20:09,110 --> 00:20:06,159 were talking about grant 576 00:20:11,029 --> 00:20:09,120 cameron who i have a lot of respect for 577 00:20:12,149 --> 00:20:11,039 but in general people in the ufo 578 00:20:14,070 --> 00:20:12,159 community 579 00:20:15,669 --> 00:20:14,080 when they can't wrap their heads around 580 00:20:18,789 --> 00:20:15,679 the possibility 581 00:20:21,750 --> 00:20:18,799 that these interactions with et 582 00:20:24,149 --> 00:20:21,760 with non-human intelligence might be 583 00:20:25,110 --> 00:20:24,159 associated with something that we would 584 00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:25,120 identify 585 00:20:28,630 --> 00:20:27,520 as evil if you can't wrap your head 586 00:20:31,909 --> 00:20:28,640 around that 587 00:20:32,710 --> 00:20:31,919 if you can't be willing to throw that on 588 00:20:35,270 --> 00:20:32,720 the table 589 00:20:36,549 --> 00:20:35,280 and say wow you know there's kind of 590 00:20:39,190 --> 00:20:36,559 that's a reasonable 591 00:20:40,070 --> 00:20:39,200 read of someone who's been raped 592 00:20:43,190 --> 00:20:40,080 publicly 593 00:20:44,789 --> 00:20:43,200 by some entity and has the physical 594 00:20:47,029 --> 00:20:44,799 evidence to prove it 595 00:20:48,070 --> 00:20:47,039 yeah i guess i do have to consider that 596 00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:48,080 there might be an 597 00:20:54,149 --> 00:20:51,520 evil there so in the same way that 598 00:20:56,230 --> 00:20:54,159 that becomes a litmus test and a similar 599 00:20:58,310 --> 00:20:56,240 litmus test for the academic 600 00:20:59,990 --> 00:20:58,320 who says well of course you know i've 601 00:21:00,549 --> 00:21:00,000 been around the block i've seen a lot of 602 00:21:02,870 --> 00:21:00,559 things 603 00:21:04,870 --> 00:21:02,880 i don't characterize anything as quote 604 00:21:06,789 --> 00:21:04,880 unquote evil because 605 00:21:10,149 --> 00:21:06,799 i've just seen so many different things 606 00:21:13,029 --> 00:21:10,159 again alarm bell goes off in my head 607 00:21:13,750 --> 00:21:13,039 but to return it to the pandemic thing 608 00:21:16,870 --> 00:21:13,760 one 609 00:21:20,310 --> 00:21:16,880 thousand percent agree with you that 610 00:21:22,470 --> 00:21:20,320 what we saw in the last year to me 611 00:21:24,230 --> 00:21:22,480 is the i don't want to say the end game 612 00:21:25,350 --> 00:21:24,240 because we have no idea where the end 613 00:21:28,470 --> 00:21:25,360 game is going 614 00:21:29,190 --> 00:21:28,480 but it is definitely a consequence of 615 00:21:33,430 --> 00:21:29,200 the one 616 00:21:36,710 --> 00:21:33,440 dumbing down and also the manipulation 617 00:21:37,669 --> 00:21:36,720 of science and the total manipulation of 618 00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:37,679 science 619 00:21:43,990 --> 00:21:40,720 that does relate back to 620 00:21:46,310 --> 00:21:44,000 exactly what you said if you are going 621 00:21:48,390 --> 00:21:46,320 to peddle the biological robot 622 00:21:50,549 --> 00:21:48,400 meaningless universe meme 623 00:21:51,669 --> 00:21:50,559 and if you're allowed to get away with 624 00:21:54,149 --> 00:21:51,679 that 625 00:21:54,789 --> 00:21:54,159 then it makes it easier to get away with 626 00:21:57,830 --> 00:21:54,799 almost 627 00:21:58,950 --> 00:21:57,840 anything and to then do all sorts of 628 00:22:01,830 --> 00:21:58,960 scientific 629 00:22:02,549 --> 00:22:01,840 mandates and then when people complain 630 00:22:05,750 --> 00:22:02,559 they say 631 00:22:08,789 --> 00:22:05,760 quit your damn clamoring 632 00:22:10,710 --> 00:22:08,799 about scientific studies and analysis 633 00:22:12,549 --> 00:22:10,720 and that's i have a quote where the guy 634 00:22:16,310 --> 00:22:12,559 actually says that it was about 635 00:22:19,590 --> 00:22:16,320 mass science because we did a show about 636 00:22:22,310 --> 00:22:19,600 how science has repeatedly 637 00:22:24,549 --> 00:22:22,320 when you do the careful randomized 638 00:22:28,310 --> 00:22:24,559 controlled clinical trials 639 00:22:31,029 --> 00:22:28,320 all this nonsense about masks falls away 640 00:22:32,149 --> 00:22:31,039 there's no significant difference in 641 00:22:34,630 --> 00:22:32,159 clinical trials 642 00:22:35,430 --> 00:22:34,640 of course in the laboratory you can show 643 00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:35,440 that a mask 644 00:22:39,430 --> 00:22:38,400 stops stuff from coming out of your face 645 00:22:41,029 --> 00:22:39,440 we knew that 646 00:22:42,630 --> 00:22:41,039 when we worked right when you went to 647 00:22:44,950 --> 00:22:42,640 kindergarten your mom said 648 00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:44,960 greg cover your face when you cup we 649 00:22:47,830 --> 00:22:46,000 knew that 650 00:22:49,590 --> 00:22:47,840 but what they do is then they try and 651 00:22:51,669 --> 00:22:49,600 turn that into science 652 00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:51,679 when the real science says and i'm 653 00:22:54,149 --> 00:22:53,120 getting a little bit off target but it 654 00:22:55,669 --> 00:22:54,159 comes back here 655 00:22:57,270 --> 00:22:55,679 the real science as much as they've 656 00:22:59,029 --> 00:22:57,280 tested it over and over again and they 657 00:23:01,990 --> 00:22:59,039 don't know exactly why 658 00:23:03,669 --> 00:23:02,000 masks don't work in terms of reducing 659 00:23:05,990 --> 00:23:03,679 the spread of the disease in the 660 00:23:06,630 --> 00:23:06,000 population whatever disease that is you 661 00:23:08,630 --> 00:23:06,640 know because 662 00:23:10,230 --> 00:23:08,640 most of that science was done not just 663 00:23:12,230 --> 00:23:10,240 in the last year it was done five 664 00:23:14,230 --> 00:23:12,240 ten years ago they kept getting the same 665 00:23:16,549 --> 00:23:14,240 result gee it doesn't lead to 666 00:23:17,909 --> 00:23:16,559 a reduction in the spreading but my real 667 00:23:20,549 --> 00:23:17,919 point on all that was 668 00:23:22,310 --> 00:23:20,559 if you go look at the shows that i did 669 00:23:24,710 --> 00:23:22,320 and the research it's like 670 00:23:26,789 --> 00:23:24,720 here's a guy here's an official muckety 671 00:23:29,990 --> 00:23:26,799 muck saying those exact words 672 00:23:32,870 --> 00:23:30,000 stop clamoring about studies 673 00:23:34,390 --> 00:23:32,880 he's telling us the public stop worrying 674 00:23:36,630 --> 00:23:34,400 about the science 675 00:23:39,029 --> 00:23:36,640 we'll tell you when to wear a mask and 676 00:23:42,070 --> 00:23:39,039 damn it we'll tell you when you can stop 677 00:23:42,950 --> 00:23:42,080 wearing your freaking mask that is the 678 00:23:46,070 --> 00:23:42,960 end game 679 00:23:48,789 --> 00:23:46,080 that i think you're pointing to if i can 680 00:23:51,269 --> 00:23:48,799 fool you about consciousness if i can 681 00:23:54,630 --> 00:23:51,279 fool you about meaninglessness 682 00:23:55,110 --> 00:23:54,640 if i can convince you that the love you 683 00:23:57,590 --> 00:23:55,120 feel 684 00:23:58,710 --> 00:23:57,600 for your partner for your parents for 685 00:24:01,590 --> 00:23:58,720 your kids 686 00:24:03,590 --> 00:24:01,600 that that doesn't really exist that it's 687 00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:03,600 just a trick of the mind 688 00:24:07,269 --> 00:24:05,520 well then i'm well on my way to 689 00:24:12,310 --> 00:24:07,279 convincing you 690 00:24:15,909 --> 00:24:12,320 scientific study i put in front of you 691 00:24:17,269 --> 00:24:15,919 um yes man that is so well said and that 692 00:24:19,510 --> 00:24:17,279 is why it is so 693 00:24:20,390 --> 00:24:19,520 important ignoring evil and ignoring 694 00:24:23,430 --> 00:24:20,400 consciousness 695 00:24:24,549 --> 00:24:23,440 or extracting them from the you know the 696 00:24:28,149 --> 00:24:24,559 public mindset 697 00:24:30,470 --> 00:24:28,159 they both have similar effects and 698 00:24:32,710 --> 00:24:30,480 yeah it's like science wants to tell you 699 00:24:34,710 --> 00:24:32,720 that love you feel is just chemicals 700 00:24:36,710 --> 00:24:34,720 just chemicals doesn't mean anything and 701 00:24:37,750 --> 00:24:36,720 they'd say the same about psychedelics 702 00:24:39,430 --> 00:24:37,760 you know it's just 703 00:24:41,110 --> 00:24:39,440 chemicals in your brain it's you're 704 00:24:42,630 --> 00:24:41,120 poisoning yourself and so you have these 705 00:24:45,190 --> 00:24:42,640 odd effects and it's like no 706 00:24:46,390 --> 00:24:45,200 experience it and what it really is is a 707 00:24:48,630 --> 00:24:46,400 peek behind the veil 708 00:24:50,470 --> 00:24:48,640 yes and you could say the same about 709 00:24:52,310 --> 00:24:50,480 love too love is 710 00:24:53,990 --> 00:24:52,320 something that shows you there's meaning 711 00:24:57,190 --> 00:24:54,000 in the universe and 712 00:24:58,789 --> 00:24:57,200 science is this huge field that's 713 00:25:01,590 --> 00:24:58,799 ripped both of those things away from 714 00:25:04,710 --> 00:25:01,600 the public consciousness but it also 715 00:25:05,350 --> 00:25:04,720 operates on this the ends justify the 716 00:25:08,149 --> 00:25:05,360 means 717 00:25:08,710 --> 00:25:08,159 kind of thing i mean think about all the 718 00:25:11,590 --> 00:25:08,720 even just 719 00:25:13,190 --> 00:25:11,600 animal torture that goes on in the name 720 00:25:15,990 --> 00:25:13,200 of science that we turned 721 00:25:17,750 --> 00:25:16,000 a complete blind eye to because well 722 00:25:19,830 --> 00:25:17,760 ultimately it's for the greater good 723 00:25:21,510 --> 00:25:19,840 well they've also tested a lot of stuff 724 00:25:25,029 --> 00:25:21,520 on mental patients 725 00:25:27,990 --> 00:25:25,039 people in prison kids in orphanages 726 00:25:28,390 --> 00:25:28,000 kids in the third world i mean pfizer 727 00:25:31,590 --> 00:25:28,400 just 728 00:25:35,510 --> 00:25:31,600 lost a giant lawsuit for 729 00:25:37,990 --> 00:25:35,520 damaging african boys with a vaccine 730 00:25:40,230 --> 00:25:38,000 they got meningitis and they lost this 731 00:25:41,510 --> 00:25:40,240 lawsuit and my mind goes to wow they 732 00:25:45,029 --> 00:25:41,520 must have 733 00:25:47,029 --> 00:25:45,039 been pretty clear because little boys in 734 00:25:50,070 --> 00:25:47,039 a village in africa don't really have 735 00:25:52,149 --> 00:25:50,080 a lot of legal resources and pfizer does 736 00:25:53,990 --> 00:25:52,159 so for visor to still not be able to win 737 00:25:55,909 --> 00:25:54,000 that fight 738 00:25:58,149 --> 00:25:55,919 i mean that's interesting and should 739 00:25:59,029 --> 00:25:58,159 they be injecting people with something 740 00:26:01,830 --> 00:25:59,039 now like 741 00:26:03,590 --> 00:26:01,840 i think the whole history of science and 742 00:26:06,630 --> 00:26:03,600 medical science in particular 743 00:26:07,350 --> 00:26:06,640 it's full of evil but we don't call it 744 00:26:10,070 --> 00:26:07,360 that 745 00:26:11,190 --> 00:26:10,080 because well they're trying to improve 746 00:26:13,190 --> 00:26:11,200 the world it's like well 747 00:26:14,470 --> 00:26:13,200 show me the fruits of that show me that 748 00:26:17,350 --> 00:26:14,480 because if you're gonna say 749 00:26:18,230 --> 00:26:17,360 this campaign is trying to make the 750 00:26:20,950 --> 00:26:18,240 world better 751 00:26:22,230 --> 00:26:20,960 i just don't see it yeah two things let 752 00:26:25,430 --> 00:26:22,240 me jump in there with two things 753 00:26:27,909 --> 00:26:25,440 one is on the meaning thing 754 00:26:29,590 --> 00:26:27,919 and it took me a long time to even be 755 00:26:31,029 --> 00:26:29,600 able to voice this because 756 00:26:33,190 --> 00:26:31,039 they're so effective with their 757 00:26:34,070 --> 00:26:33,200 messaging that for all of us even people 758 00:26:36,390 --> 00:26:34,080 like you and i 759 00:26:37,990 --> 00:26:36,400 who feel like we're kind of pushing 760 00:26:40,630 --> 00:26:38,000 against it and were 761 00:26:41,510 --> 00:26:40,640 leery and we're on guard we still let 762 00:26:43,669 --> 00:26:41,520 our guard down 763 00:26:44,549 --> 00:26:43,679 when they say then the universe is 764 00:26:46,870 --> 00:26:44,559 meaningless 765 00:26:48,950 --> 00:26:46,880 or that like we're saying love is really 766 00:26:51,909 --> 00:26:48,960 just the chemical whatever 767 00:26:52,310 --> 00:26:51,919 it is not just wrong it is completely 768 00:26:55,750 --> 00:26:52,320 the 769 00:26:57,350 --> 00:26:55,760 opposite like when you go spiritual when 770 00:26:58,149 --> 00:26:57,360 you go to the great mystics and the 771 00:27:00,310 --> 00:26:58,159 great thinkers 772 00:27:01,350 --> 00:27:00,320 what they say is the opposite right they 773 00:27:04,070 --> 00:27:01,360 say everything 774 00:27:04,710 --> 00:27:04,080 is meaningful the plant that you're 775 00:27:07,269 --> 00:27:04,720 looking at 776 00:27:08,230 --> 00:27:07,279 outside your window is conscious it's 777 00:27:14,149 --> 00:27:08,240 meaningful 778 00:27:14,549 --> 00:27:14,159 everywhere in the universe everything 779 00:27:16,950 --> 00:27:14,559 has 780 00:27:18,549 --> 00:27:16,960 meaning right so it's funny how they've 781 00:27:20,549 --> 00:27:18,559 completely switched it 782 00:27:22,870 --> 00:27:20,559 so usually when we have that dialogue 783 00:27:24,950 --> 00:27:22,880 we're like well i think there might be 784 00:27:26,950 --> 00:27:24,960 a little bit of meaning i mean i don't 785 00:27:28,230 --> 00:27:26,960 know if you know aren't dolphins you 786 00:27:30,710 --> 00:27:28,240 know smart of course 787 00:27:31,350 --> 00:27:30,720 you know this animal isn't smart of 788 00:27:33,510 --> 00:27:31,360 course 789 00:27:35,029 --> 00:27:33,520 you know the ant that's crawling on your 790 00:27:37,669 --> 00:27:35,039 desk isn't conscious 791 00:27:39,269 --> 00:27:37,679 how do you know that given everything we 792 00:27:41,909 --> 00:27:39,279 know why wouldn't we assume 793 00:27:42,710 --> 00:27:41,919 the opposite that everything is 794 00:27:44,950 --> 00:27:42,720 conscious 795 00:27:46,549 --> 00:27:44,960 everything in some way that we don't 796 00:27:49,110 --> 00:27:46,559 understand 797 00:27:51,269 --> 00:27:49,120 everything is conscious isn't that what 798 00:27:53,350 --> 00:27:51,279 the physics would suggest 799 00:27:54,710 --> 00:27:53,360 when they do the double slit experiment 800 00:27:56,789 --> 00:27:54,720 and they 801 00:27:59,190 --> 00:27:56,799 pop that little photon beam and the 802 00:28:01,750 --> 00:27:59,200 photon beam either comes through as a 803 00:28:02,950 --> 00:28:01,760 slit or a weight it seems that was the 804 00:28:05,110 --> 00:28:02,960 conclusion 805 00:28:06,070 --> 00:28:05,120 of the world's greatest thinkers and 806 00:28:08,710 --> 00:28:06,080 scientists 807 00:28:10,950 --> 00:28:08,720 and even einstein had to kneel down and 808 00:28:11,669 --> 00:28:10,960 say yeah it looks like niels bohr is 809 00:28:14,389 --> 00:28:11,679 right 810 00:28:15,510 --> 00:28:14,399 consciousness is everywhere was the 811 00:28:17,430 --> 00:28:15,520 conclusion 812 00:28:18,630 --> 00:28:17,440 well wouldn't that switch the paradigm 813 00:28:21,029 --> 00:28:18,640 where we would then 814 00:28:22,870 --> 00:28:21,039 start with the basis that everything is 815 00:28:23,990 --> 00:28:22,880 meaningful and then try and prove it the 816 00:28:25,909 --> 00:28:24,000 other way 817 00:28:27,510 --> 00:28:25,919 and you know as far as the other point 818 00:28:30,310 --> 00:28:27,520 that you were making about 819 00:28:31,909 --> 00:28:30,320 evil and i think this is like again i 820 00:28:33,269 --> 00:28:31,919 don't think i understood this at the 821 00:28:35,830 --> 00:28:33,279 beginning 822 00:28:37,269 --> 00:28:35,840 when we talk about evil what we're 823 00:28:40,389 --> 00:28:37,279 really talking about 824 00:28:44,710 --> 00:28:40,399 is asking the question is there this 825 00:28:47,269 --> 00:28:44,720 extended consciousness realm 826 00:28:48,950 --> 00:28:47,279 where there's kind of some shady bad 827 00:28:51,909 --> 00:28:48,960 things going on 828 00:28:52,230 --> 00:28:51,919 and we all understand that like you and 829 00:29:05,510 --> 00:28:52,240 i 830 00:29:08,470 --> 00:29:05,520 awesome place amen but you go the wrong 831 00:29:10,470 --> 00:29:08,480 turn on the way out of your house and 832 00:29:13,909 --> 00:29:10,480 you can find some stuff that's 833 00:29:16,549 --> 00:29:13,919 very very shady and it's horrible 834 00:29:18,870 --> 00:29:16,559 what humanity does to each other what 835 00:29:21,669 --> 00:29:18,880 people do to themselves you know and 836 00:29:23,510 --> 00:29:21,679 abuse and addiction and all those things 837 00:29:25,029 --> 00:29:23,520 and you get in that and we've all been 838 00:29:28,070 --> 00:29:25,039 there most of us 839 00:29:28,470 --> 00:29:28,080 you get that crimey sense you get that 840 00:29:31,110 --> 00:29:28,480 sense 841 00:29:32,630 --> 00:29:31,120 there's something wrong here there's 842 00:29:34,470 --> 00:29:32,640 something out of kilter 843 00:29:35,909 --> 00:29:34,480 and we even have the sense a lot of 844 00:29:39,029 --> 00:29:35,919 times that it's not 845 00:29:41,590 --> 00:29:39,039 exactly on this physical plane 846 00:29:44,389 --> 00:29:41,600 yes and that's the question that i think 847 00:29:47,510 --> 00:29:44,399 we have to be open to 848 00:29:50,230 --> 00:29:47,520 is the pfizer attorney who 849 00:29:51,190 --> 00:29:50,240 prosecuted that case defended that case 850 00:29:54,070 --> 00:29:51,200 whatever you push 851 00:29:55,510 --> 00:29:54,080 that case in africa when he actually 852 00:29:57,909 --> 00:29:55,520 went through those documents 853 00:29:58,789 --> 00:29:57,919 and saw what they did to those innocent 854 00:30:01,990 --> 00:29:58,799 kids 855 00:30:02,389 --> 00:30:02,000 unsuspecting no money and he said well 856 00:30:04,149 --> 00:30:02,399 hell 857 00:30:06,389 --> 00:30:04,159 you know what i know this ain't right 858 00:30:07,029 --> 00:30:06,399 but i got to make that mortgage payment 859 00:30:10,549 --> 00:30:07,039 and 860 00:30:14,389 --> 00:30:10,559 all 861 00:30:16,470 --> 00:30:14,399 well tell just go for it was that just 862 00:30:19,029 --> 00:30:16,480 somebody making a decision which it 863 00:30:20,310 --> 00:30:19,039 could be or is there something you keep 864 00:30:21,909 --> 00:30:20,320 alluding to it you know 865 00:30:23,909 --> 00:30:21,919 is there something on another 866 00:30:25,909 --> 00:30:23,919 dimensional level that's 867 00:30:29,029 --> 00:30:25,919 right in there saying hey this is my 868 00:30:31,350 --> 00:30:29,039 chance now this is my time to shine 869 00:30:33,830 --> 00:30:31,360 yes yes and it's not going to label 870 00:30:35,110 --> 00:30:33,840 itself as evil either but i do think 871 00:30:37,269 --> 00:30:35,120 there are forces 872 00:30:39,909 --> 00:30:37,279 and they exist in the non-physical and 873 00:30:40,549 --> 00:30:39,919 they impart themselves on the physical 874 00:30:43,669 --> 00:30:40,559 by 875 00:30:45,750 --> 00:30:43,679 acting through some sort of vessel and 876 00:30:46,789 --> 00:30:45,760 that vessel is obviously a person 877 00:30:49,190 --> 00:30:46,799 usually and i think 878 00:30:50,070 --> 00:30:49,200 oftentimes people of power i've 879 00:30:51,990 --> 00:30:50,080 interviewed 880 00:30:53,510 --> 00:30:52,000 people who look at the world of magic 881 00:30:55,269 --> 00:30:53,520 and spirits and 882 00:30:56,630 --> 00:30:55,279 some of them conclude that it seems like 883 00:30:58,549 --> 00:30:56,640 spirits are 884 00:30:59,750 --> 00:30:58,559 really attracted to power and they're 885 00:31:02,070 --> 00:30:59,760 intelligent they can 886 00:31:03,990 --> 00:31:02,080 tell where power is and where it isn't 887 00:31:04,630 --> 00:31:04,000 and they kind of congregate around it 888 00:31:06,710 --> 00:31:04,640 because 889 00:31:08,389 --> 00:31:06,720 i think what they really want to do it 890 00:31:10,149 --> 00:31:08,399 is exact influence 891 00:31:12,070 --> 00:31:10,159 and so they're going to people who can 892 00:31:14,950 --> 00:31:12,080 do that and 893 00:31:15,830 --> 00:31:14,960 you know i just saw before we started a 894 00:31:19,029 --> 00:31:15,840 little video 895 00:31:21,190 --> 00:31:19,039 of you know elon musk's neurolink and 896 00:31:23,110 --> 00:31:21,200 it's implanted in the brain of a monkey 897 00:31:25,269 --> 00:31:23,120 and this monkey's playing pong on a 898 00:31:28,149 --> 00:31:25,279 screen with just its mind 899 00:31:30,230 --> 00:31:28,159 and a lot of people love elon musk he's 900 00:31:31,990 --> 00:31:30,240 a cool guy and they get into the whole 901 00:31:35,029 --> 00:31:32,000 razzle dazzle an allure 902 00:31:36,789 --> 00:31:35,039 of a billionaire scientist who smokes 903 00:31:38,630 --> 00:31:36,799 weed on the joe rogan podcast 904 00:31:40,789 --> 00:31:38,640 and or not a scientist but you know a 905 00:31:43,190 --> 00:31:40,799 billionaire philanthropist i guess 906 00:31:44,870 --> 00:31:43,200 if you even want to call him that but 907 00:31:46,389 --> 00:31:44,880 it's kind of messed up because 908 00:31:48,470 --> 00:31:46,399 if you didn't have all that razzle 909 00:31:52,950 --> 00:31:48,480 dazzle of elon musk if 910 00:31:55,350 --> 00:31:52,960 someone like say sid from toy story 911 00:31:57,029 --> 00:31:55,360 had marched out a monkey and said hey i 912 00:31:59,430 --> 00:31:57,039 drilled into its brain 913 00:32:00,389 --> 00:31:59,440 and now i'm you know putting this uh 914 00:32:02,149 --> 00:32:00,399 computer in it 915 00:32:04,710 --> 00:32:02,159 we would look at it like oh my god that 916 00:32:05,029 --> 00:32:04,720 is evil but if you just tilt it a little 917 00:32:07,029 --> 00:32:05,039 bit 918 00:32:08,389 --> 00:32:07,039 like if you change the perception it 919 00:32:10,230 --> 00:32:08,399 doesn't seem that way 920 00:32:12,310 --> 00:32:10,240 another example is and i'm not trying to 921 00:32:14,149 --> 00:32:12,320 go in all these animal peta 922 00:32:16,070 --> 00:32:14,159 rant examples but i have a couple 923 00:32:18,870 --> 00:32:16,080 friends that are lab techs 924 00:32:20,470 --> 00:32:18,880 in scientific laboratories and there's 925 00:32:21,909 --> 00:32:20,480 been a couple of times where 926 00:32:24,789 --> 00:32:21,919 we've talked about the mice and they're 927 00:32:27,750 --> 00:32:24,799 like oh i've killed mice in the 928 00:32:29,110 --> 00:32:27,760 thousands like maybe tens of thousands 929 00:32:29,509 --> 00:32:29,120 and i'm just like well i guess they're 930 00:32:31,909 --> 00:32:29,519 just 931 00:32:33,509 --> 00:32:31,919 mice but at the same time what is that 932 00:32:34,389 --> 00:32:33,519 doing to your psyche that's kind of 933 00:32:37,430 --> 00:32:34,399 [\h__\h] up 934 00:32:39,430 --> 00:32:37,440 like to say you've just ended tens of 935 00:32:41,830 --> 00:32:39,440 thousands of lives i mean 936 00:32:43,990 --> 00:32:41,840 i don't know it just seems like science 937 00:32:47,269 --> 00:32:44,000 has baked into it this 938 00:32:49,509 --> 00:32:47,279 uh this cost that like for us to 939 00:32:51,029 --> 00:32:49,519 figure it all out uh you're gonna have 940 00:32:53,430 --> 00:32:51,039 to break a few eggs to 941 00:32:54,549 --> 00:32:53,440 make the omelet as they say you know you 942 00:32:56,470 --> 00:32:54,559 know that that's such an 943 00:32:58,389 --> 00:32:56,480 excellent point and what i can 944 00:33:01,509 --> 00:32:58,399 especially 945 00:33:04,470 --> 00:33:01,519 relate to identify with what you're 946 00:33:06,230 --> 00:33:04,480 saying is the questioning part of it 947 00:33:08,630 --> 00:33:06,240 because that's really where i'm at 948 00:33:11,509 --> 00:33:08,640 i don't know i don't know i can look at 949 00:33:14,149 --> 00:33:11,519 it you know both ways 950 00:33:14,870 --> 00:33:14,159 we often talk about this empire as if 951 00:33:17,909 --> 00:33:14,880 it's 952 00:33:18,789 --> 00:33:17,919 something that is not within us or we 953 00:33:22,630 --> 00:33:18,799 are within it 954 00:33:23,990 --> 00:33:22,640 you know we are co-creators not only of 955 00:33:26,710 --> 00:33:24,000 our reality 956 00:33:27,750 --> 00:33:26,720 but of this machine that we've created 957 00:33:30,149 --> 00:33:27,760 that 958 00:33:32,149 --> 00:33:30,159 has all these advancements and sometimes 959 00:33:33,590 --> 00:33:32,159 you know if the whole thing was laid out 960 00:33:35,590 --> 00:33:33,600 to you you might say 961 00:33:37,590 --> 00:33:35,600 okay i guess go ahead and kill those 962 00:33:38,149 --> 00:33:37,600 mice i guess that is for the greater 963 00:33:39,830 --> 00:33:38,159 good 964 00:33:41,509 --> 00:33:39,840 and then i think there's other times it 965 00:33:42,549 --> 00:33:41,519 really is a gray area there's other 966 00:33:44,710 --> 00:33:42,559 times where you say 967 00:33:48,070 --> 00:33:44,720 you know i really think that lipstick 968 00:33:51,669 --> 00:33:48,080 can be tested just as effectively on 969 00:33:54,470 --> 00:33:51,679 i don't know a window or something so 970 00:33:55,029 --> 00:33:54,480 but the questioning the saying you know 971 00:33:58,149 --> 00:33:55,039 if we're 972 00:33:59,430 --> 00:33:58,159 able to now at least start setting out 973 00:34:02,789 --> 00:33:59,440 some parameters 974 00:34:05,110 --> 00:34:02,799 that there is really this realm perhaps 975 00:34:06,870 --> 00:34:05,120 and this realm doesn't always have the 976 00:34:10,149 --> 00:34:06,880 best intentions for 977 00:34:11,829 --> 00:34:10,159 us for humanity for our soul 978 00:34:13,589 --> 00:34:11,839 if we're able to at least start that 979 00:34:15,589 --> 00:34:13,599 dialogue 980 00:34:17,430 --> 00:34:15,599 maybe we could nudge a little bit closer 981 00:34:19,669 --> 00:34:17,440 to having more 982 00:34:21,430 --> 00:34:19,679 reasonable answers to those questions 983 00:34:22,310 --> 00:34:21,440 that we could at least feel good about 984 00:34:23,430 --> 00:34:22,320 and say 985 00:34:25,109 --> 00:34:23,440 i don't know if we made the best 986 00:34:25,909 --> 00:34:25,119 decision but i feel like we at least 987 00:34:29,349 --> 00:34:25,919 factored in 988 00:34:32,629 --> 00:34:29,359 more of the variables yes yes 989 00:34:34,389 --> 00:34:32,639 i agree and the theme of social 990 00:34:35,669 --> 00:34:34,399 engineering comes up a little bit in the 991 00:34:37,750 --> 00:34:35,679 book it weaves throughout 992 00:34:39,109 --> 00:34:37,760 in a lot of different ways the question 993 00:34:41,190 --> 00:34:39,119 of how have we been 994 00:34:42,230 --> 00:34:41,200 conditioned and this might be a weird 995 00:34:44,629 --> 00:34:42,240 one to bring up but 996 00:34:46,629 --> 00:34:44,639 i find that when i try to have these 997 00:34:48,710 --> 00:34:46,639 types of conversations with those same 998 00:34:51,430 --> 00:34:48,720 industry friends that are convinced 999 00:34:53,669 --> 00:34:51,440 there's no evil in medical science 1000 00:34:55,589 --> 00:34:53,679 i bring up eugenics and how it pretty 1001 00:34:57,349 --> 00:34:55,599 much always advanced through something 1002 00:34:58,950 --> 00:34:57,359 under the umbrella of science and they 1003 00:35:01,349 --> 00:34:58,960 say well eugenics is gone 1004 00:35:02,710 --> 00:35:01,359 i died out with the nazis right 1005 00:35:03,990 --> 00:35:02,720 obviously they don't know a lot about 1006 00:35:06,069 --> 00:35:04,000 project paperclip 1007 00:35:07,910 --> 00:35:06,079 but the evidence they have cited to me 1008 00:35:08,710 --> 00:35:07,920 for their confidence that eugenics is 1009 00:35:11,750 --> 00:35:08,720 gone 1010 00:35:14,230 --> 00:35:11,760 is things like well the ceo of pfizer is 1011 00:35:16,470 --> 00:35:14,240 a black woman now or the head of the cdc 1012 00:35:17,349 --> 00:35:16,480 is an indian man i don't really know 1013 00:35:19,349 --> 00:35:17,359 who's who 1014 00:35:21,109 --> 00:35:19,359 but i was just surprised to see it 1015 00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:21,119 reduced to that kind of thinking that 1016 00:35:24,310 --> 00:35:22,240 the emphasis 1017 00:35:26,550 --> 00:35:24,320 liberals have been conditioned to put on 1018 00:35:29,990 --> 00:35:26,560 identity politics and race lately 1019 00:35:31,670 --> 00:35:30,000 comes full circle into well these 1020 00:35:33,670 --> 00:35:31,680 people can all be trusted now because 1021 00:35:35,510 --> 00:35:33,680 they're people of color 1022 00:35:37,589 --> 00:35:35,520 thorny stuff but it is just strange 1023 00:35:39,190 --> 00:35:37,599 logic that this is a type of thinking 1024 00:35:40,470 --> 00:35:39,200 that was clearly engineered in liberal 1025 00:35:43,670 --> 00:35:40,480 politics and 1026 00:35:45,270 --> 00:35:43,680 if evil creeps in from something in the 1027 00:35:45,829 --> 00:35:45,280 extended consciousness realm like you 1028 00:35:48,150 --> 00:35:45,839 were saying 1029 00:35:49,349 --> 00:35:48,160 then who the ceo of moderna is at a 1030 00:35:51,910 --> 00:35:49,359 given time 1031 00:35:53,510 --> 00:35:51,920 probably matters even less but it's not 1032 00:35:55,109 --> 00:35:53,520 always going to be obvious who the bad 1033 00:35:57,190 --> 00:35:55,119 guys are they don't wear 1034 00:36:00,310 --> 00:35:57,200 a badge they don't even think they're 1035 00:36:02,710 --> 00:36:00,320 bad usually it's complex and even though 1036 00:36:04,710 --> 00:36:02,720 to some of us it's hidden in plain sight 1037 00:36:08,069 --> 00:36:04,720 to a lot of other people the majority 1038 00:36:10,950 --> 00:36:08,079 it's still just very much hidden well 1039 00:36:13,030 --> 00:36:10,960 you know i i'd almost jumped that two 1040 00:36:14,550 --> 00:36:13,040 steps forward because i think the social 1041 00:36:15,349 --> 00:36:14,560 engineering part of it is really 1042 00:36:17,190 --> 00:36:15,359 difficult 1043 00:36:18,710 --> 00:36:17,200 like you said at the beginning it's 1044 00:36:20,150 --> 00:36:18,720 really hard for a lot of people to wrap 1045 00:36:23,589 --> 00:36:20,160 their head around that 1046 00:36:25,829 --> 00:36:23,599 because it is paradigm shifting 1047 00:36:27,589 --> 00:36:25,839 in a fundamental way when someone 1048 00:36:29,430 --> 00:36:27,599 confronts you with the fact that 1049 00:36:31,430 --> 00:36:29,440 you've already lived through social 1050 00:36:31,910 --> 00:36:31,440 engineering and then points out examples 1051 00:36:33,670 --> 00:36:31,920 like 1052 00:36:35,510 --> 00:36:33,680 i've been driving the glorious dynamic 1053 00:36:37,349 --> 00:36:35,520 example to death and people get tired of 1054 00:36:40,390 --> 00:36:37,359 hearing it but you know 1055 00:36:41,109 --> 00:36:40,400 go youtube listen glorious dynam in her 1056 00:36:43,910 --> 00:36:41,119 own words 1057 00:36:44,310 --> 00:36:43,920 say yeah i was working for the cia and 1058 00:36:46,710 --> 00:36:44,320 then 1059 00:36:47,510 --> 00:36:46,720 go just one step further and find out 1060 00:36:51,270 --> 00:36:47,520 that 1061 00:36:53,750 --> 00:36:51,280 no man she wasn't recruited by the cia 1062 00:36:54,870 --> 00:36:53,760 when she was in the women's movement she 1063 00:36:57,829 --> 00:36:54,880 was in the freaking 1064 00:36:58,150 --> 00:36:57,839 cia and they gave her an assignment to 1065 00:37:00,710 --> 00:36:58,160 go 1066 00:37:02,630 --> 00:37:00,720 co-op the women's movement and they say 1067 00:37:03,750 --> 00:37:02,640 okay well oh geez you know and you wrap 1068 00:37:05,990 --> 00:37:03,760 your head around that you go 1069 00:37:07,270 --> 00:37:06,000 okay but isn't it good that we had 1070 00:37:09,270 --> 00:37:07,280 changes and there's more 1071 00:37:10,710 --> 00:37:09,280 freedom for women and wasn't it really 1072 00:37:12,150 --> 00:37:10,720 screwed up and [\h__\h] you think black 1073 00:37:15,670 --> 00:37:12,160 women didn't have the vote 1074 00:37:18,710 --> 00:37:15,680 until 1920 you're like how crazy is that 1075 00:37:19,829 --> 00:37:18,720 you know but then you get your wits 1076 00:37:23,910 --> 00:37:19,839 about you and you go 1077 00:37:27,430 --> 00:37:23,920 but wait a minute why is the cia 1078 00:37:29,910 --> 00:37:27,440 even interested in that you know 1079 00:37:30,470 --> 00:37:29,920 take away the fact that they did it why 1080 00:37:33,829 --> 00:37:30,480 are they 1081 00:37:36,390 --> 00:37:33,839 interested in it well maybe it's because 1082 00:37:37,430 --> 00:37:36,400 this social engineering thing is always 1083 00:37:40,630 --> 00:37:37,440 in play 1084 00:37:43,030 --> 00:37:40,640 they see that as their job and when i 1085 00:37:45,270 --> 00:37:43,040 say they i'm not talking about the cia 1086 00:37:47,270 --> 00:37:45,280 only i'm talking about there is we all 1087 00:37:48,150 --> 00:37:47,280 feel it you and i talk about it as if 1088 00:37:50,550 --> 00:37:48,160 it's 1089 00:37:51,829 --> 00:37:50,560 just ordinary stuff although ninety 1090 00:37:54,069 --> 00:37:51,839 percent of the other people don't 1091 00:37:55,430 --> 00:37:54,079 and that's that there is a they that 1092 00:37:57,670 --> 00:37:55,440 thinks they are 1093 00:37:58,470 --> 00:37:57,680 responsible for controlling everything 1094 00:38:01,109 --> 00:37:58,480 and they do 1095 00:38:01,910 --> 00:38:01,119 stuff like this on a regular basis 1096 00:38:04,390 --> 00:38:01,920 because 1097 00:38:06,230 --> 00:38:04,400 man they just think it's their job but 1098 00:38:08,630 --> 00:38:06,240 if i could i want to connect that 1099 00:38:10,870 --> 00:38:08,640 with the evil thing in a way that has 1100 00:38:14,390 --> 00:38:10,880 really just come into focus 1101 00:38:16,150 --> 00:38:14,400 for me recently and that's this idea 1102 00:38:19,670 --> 00:38:16,160 that 1103 00:38:23,030 --> 00:38:19,680 we all live rich spiritual 1104 00:38:25,109 --> 00:38:23,040 lives we do we're enmeshed 1105 00:38:27,190 --> 00:38:25,119 in this larger consciousness that we're 1106 00:38:28,550 --> 00:38:27,200 talking about and some of it isn't so 1107 00:38:30,150 --> 00:38:28,560 great like we're talking about 1108 00:38:32,630 --> 00:38:30,160 but some of it seems to be pretty 1109 00:38:35,349 --> 00:38:32,640 amazing it seems to give us 1110 00:38:36,310 --> 00:38:35,359 you know love and compassion and 1111 00:38:39,190 --> 00:38:36,320 humility 1112 00:38:39,990 --> 00:38:39,200 when we tune into it and we're always in 1113 00:38:42,710 --> 00:38:40,000 that soup 1114 00:38:43,829 --> 00:38:42,720 of choosing and letting some in and 1115 00:38:46,470 --> 00:38:43,839 letting some out 1116 00:38:47,670 --> 00:38:46,480 and we're all doing it and that woman 1117 00:38:49,750 --> 00:38:47,680 who got 1118 00:38:52,069 --> 00:38:49,760 you know the fake promotion and all the 1119 00:38:54,950 --> 00:38:52,079 free stock at moderna that 1120 00:38:55,829 --> 00:38:54,960 those criminals gave her you know what 1121 00:38:59,109 --> 00:38:55,839 however good 1122 00:39:00,790 --> 00:38:59,119 or however bad she is she still wakes up 1123 00:39:03,109 --> 00:39:00,800 at two o'clock in the morning 1124 00:39:03,990 --> 00:39:03,119 with the same kind of spiritual 1125 00:39:06,310 --> 00:39:04,000 questions 1126 00:39:07,270 --> 00:39:06,320 that we all have you know what is my 1127 00:39:10,150 --> 00:39:07,280 soul you know 1128 00:39:11,670 --> 00:39:10,160 what will happen when i die you know how 1129 00:39:14,069 --> 00:39:11,680 can i be a better 1130 00:39:15,030 --> 00:39:14,079 parent daughter whatever i mean we're 1131 00:39:17,349 --> 00:39:15,040 all in that 1132 00:39:18,310 --> 00:39:17,359 and i think that when we talk about 1133 00:39:21,589 --> 00:39:18,320 anyone as 1134 00:39:22,150 --> 00:39:21,599 if they're not part of that spiritual 1135 00:39:24,470 --> 00:39:22,160 soup 1136 00:39:26,230 --> 00:39:24,480 of good and evil in this broader way 1137 00:39:29,349 --> 00:39:26,240 that we're talking about it 1138 00:39:31,589 --> 00:39:29,359 i think we risk becoming just 1139 00:39:33,030 --> 00:39:31,599 as bad as they are if you know what i 1140 00:39:36,310 --> 00:39:33,040 mean 1141 00:39:37,270 --> 00:39:36,320 yes well

00:39:58,230 --> 00:39:56,160 and obviously a lot of things have 1151 00:39:58,710 --> 00:39:58,240 changed since then in the realm of ai 1152 00:40:01,750 --> 00:39:58,720 but 1153 00:40:04,710 --> 00:40:01,760 talk to us about how these themes of 1154 00:40:05,750 --> 00:40:04,720 ai and evil actually relate to each 1155 00:40:08,150 --> 00:40:05,760 other 1156 00:40:10,230 --> 00:40:08,160

00:43:29,589 --> 00:43:27,200 now and 1249 00:43:31,030 --> 00:43:29,599 i don't see any cars flying around huh 1250 00:43:34,230 --> 00:43:31,040 do you ha 1251 00:43:36,390 --> 00:43:34,240 so you can kind of go that route or 1252 00:43:37,750 --> 00:43:36,400 you can kind of go the other extremist 1253 00:43:40,870 --> 00:43:37,760 route and say 1254 00:43:43,750 --> 00:43:40,880 i bow down to you i 1255 00:43:45,030 --> 00:43:43,760 overlord you will control everything and 1256 00:43:47,030 --> 00:43:45,040 i don't think either one of those are 1257 00:43:49,270 --> 00:43:47,040 very productive 1258 00:43:50,550 --> 00:43:49,280 what i think we need to do is again kind 1259 00:43:52,069 --> 00:43:50,560 of apply 1260 00:43:54,309 --> 00:43:52,079 the same kind of thinking we've been 1261 00:43:56,870 --> 00:43:54,319 talking about in terms of 1262 00:43:59,430 --> 00:43:56,880 the reality of consciousness the reality 1263 00:44:02,710 --> 00:43:59,440 of the extended realm 1264 00:44:05,670 --> 00:44:02,720 the attempt that we've seemed to have 1265 00:44:07,510 --> 00:44:05,680 to want to engineer that because that 1266 00:44:08,309 --> 00:44:07,520 seems to be at play and when we want to 1267 00:44:09,910 --> 00:44:08,319 talk about 1268 00:44:11,910 --> 00:44:09,920 some of the dark stuff and maybe we'll 1269 00:44:13,750 --> 00:44:11,920 talk about mk ultra 1270 00:44:15,829 --> 00:44:13,760 maybe we'll talk about satanic ritual 1271 00:44:17,670 --> 00:44:15,839 abuse because when you do 1272 00:44:18,950 --> 00:44:17,680 you're going to find that what they were 1273 00:44:22,790 --> 00:44:18,960 trying to do 1274 00:44:26,550 --> 00:44:22,800 was weaponize extended consciousness 1275 00:44:27,670 --> 00:44:26,560 in very kind of a way that a computer 1276 00:44:30,790 --> 00:44:27,680 programmer would be 1277 00:44:31,190 --> 00:44:30,800 comfortable with in a way so is there 1278 00:44:33,750 --> 00:44:31,200 that 1279 00:44:34,550 --> 00:44:33,760 engineering part of this extended realm 1280 00:44:36,710 --> 00:44:34,560 and 1281 00:44:37,750 --> 00:44:36,720 that's the kind of conversation i think 1282 00:44:40,470 --> 00:44:37,760 we need to 1283 00:44:41,190 --> 00:44:40,480 move into if we're really going to get 1284 00:44:45,430 --> 00:44:41,200 serious 1285 00:44:48,550 --> 00:44:45,440 about understanding what this ai 1286 00:44:48,790 --> 00:44:48,560 might mean but i'm super interested and 1287 00:44:55,589 --> 00:44:48,800 i 1288 00:44:57,510 --> 00:44:55,599 you've done 1289 00:44:58,710 --> 00:44:57,520 and i think you're very much on the 1290 00:45:00,870 --> 00:44:58,720 cutting edge of 1291 00:45:01,829 --> 00:45:00,880 stitching some of those pieces together 1292 00:45:05,109 --> 00:45:01,839 so where are you 1293 00:45:07,030 --> 00:45:05,119 currently on that well you know 1294 00:45:09,349 --> 00:45:07,040 i try to stay pretty neutral and just 1295 00:45:11,430 --> 00:45:09,359 ask the questions but 1296 00:45:13,270 --> 00:45:11,440 i have a lot of concerns about ai and 1297 00:45:15,030 --> 00:45:13,280 the reason i asked you 1298 00:45:17,510 --> 00:45:15,040 that question was really just to lead 1299 00:45:20,230 --> 00:45:17,520 into this more extreme 1300 00:45:21,030 --> 00:45:20,240 aspect of it and in your book you do 1301 00:45:23,349 --> 00:45:21,040 include 1302 00:45:25,030 --> 00:45:23,359 some talk about aliens and spirits too 1303 00:45:27,030 --> 00:45:25,040 and that is one of the 1304 00:45:28,150 --> 00:45:27,040 exciting ideas that's been coming up 1305 00:45:31,190 --> 00:45:28,160 around here 1306 00:45:34,710 --> 00:45:31,200 is what if what we're being told 1307 00:45:37,349 --> 00:45:34,720 is ai is actually a channeled being 1308 00:45:39,829 --> 00:45:37,359 living in the electromagnetic spectrum 1309 00:45:40,390 --> 00:45:39,839 if a piece of cardboard from parker 1310 00:45:43,349 --> 00:45:40,400 brothers 1311 00:45:44,470 --> 00:45:43,359 can be used as a mode of contact with a 1312 00:45:47,510 --> 00:45:44,480 spirit 1313 00:45:49,990 --> 00:45:47,520 maybe some of these computer systems are 1314 00:45:50,550 --> 00:45:50,000 more like digital ouija boards for 1315 00:45:53,670 --> 00:45:50,560 beings 1316 00:45:55,349 --> 00:45:53,680 outside of physical reality the fact 1317 00:45:56,790 --> 00:45:55,359 that a lot of these people deny there's 1318 00:45:58,870 --> 00:45:56,800 an extended consciousness 1319 00:46:00,470 --> 00:45:58,880 means like they'll never start asking 1320 00:46:02,230 --> 00:46:00,480 that question but 1321 00:46:03,750 --> 00:46:02,240 i think a lot of the guests i've 1322 00:46:05,670 --> 00:46:03,760 interviewed myself and 1323 00:46:07,829 --> 00:46:05,680 the audience and you are open to the 1324 00:46:11,109 --> 00:46:07,839 idea that there are intelligences 1325 00:46:13,270 --> 00:46:11,119 without bodies out there maybe they can 1326 00:46:17,030 --> 00:46:13,280 attach to a computer system 1327 00:46:18,790 --> 00:46:17,040 and emulate a type of intelligence just 1328 00:46:20,790 --> 00:46:18,800 being themselves but 1329 00:46:22,550 --> 00:46:20,800 the programmer thinks they created it 1330 00:46:23,109 --> 00:46:22,560 but what they might have created is a 1331 00:46:25,109 --> 00:46:23,119 vessel 1332 00:46:26,630 --> 00:46:25,119 that something entered into i think 1333 00:46:27,589 --> 00:46:26,640 these are interesting questions you were 1334 00:46:31,270 --> 00:46:27,599 in the phd 1335 00:46:32,870 --> 00:46:31,280 program of ai do you think it's possible 1336 00:46:34,309 --> 00:46:32,880 well you know i'd almost bring it back 1337 00:46:38,470 --> 00:46:34,319 to 1338 00:46:40,870 --> 00:46:38,480 think we can again kind of stitch those 1339 00:46:44,309 --> 00:46:40,880 two things together and maybe together 1340 00:46:46,150 --> 00:46:44,319 we can see where we're at so i talked 1341 00:46:48,550 --> 00:46:46,160 not too long ago to 1342 00:46:49,910 --> 00:46:48,560 whitley strieber the very famous 1343 00:46:52,069 --> 00:46:49,920 contactee i mean 1344 00:46:53,349 --> 00:46:52,079 like contacting number one communion i 1345 00:46:55,750 --> 00:46:53,359 mean everyone 1346 00:46:57,510 --> 00:46:55,760 an important important person in history 1347 00:46:58,630 --> 00:46:57,520 part of his history that a lot of people 1348 00:47:00,470 --> 00:46:58,640 don't know about 1349 00:47:02,630 --> 00:47:00,480 and he hasn't talked a lot about until 1350 00:47:06,150 --> 00:47:02,640 lately is 1351 00:47:09,190 --> 00:47:06,160 as a mk ultra victim as a very young kid 1352 00:47:11,030 --> 00:47:09,200 yeah the school and what i thought was 1353 00:47:12,230 --> 00:47:11,040 interesting about that and that's what i 1354 00:47:13,829 --> 00:47:12,240 was alluding to so i'm just going to 1355 00:47:15,349 --> 00:47:13,839 make it a little bit more explicit so 1356 00:47:17,910 --> 00:47:15,359 people know 1357 00:47:20,150 --> 00:47:17,920 what they were doing is they're taking 1358 00:47:21,990 --> 00:47:20,160 these kids eight or nine years old 1359 00:47:23,750 --> 00:47:22,000 and they were locking them in faraday 1360 00:47:27,430 --> 00:47:23,760 cages 1361 00:47:29,510 --> 00:47:27,440 which prevents electromagnetic signals 1362 00:47:31,990 --> 00:47:29,520 from coming in or out of the box 1363 00:47:33,109 --> 00:47:32,000 so they're doing sciency kind of control 1364 00:47:34,870 --> 00:47:33,119 stuff 1365 00:47:36,390 --> 00:47:34,880 and then what they were doing is really 1366 00:47:39,670 --> 00:47:36,400 evil satanic 1367 00:47:42,790 --> 00:47:39,680 crap you know killing little animals 1368 00:47:44,150 --> 00:47:42,800 right in front of the kids terrorizing 1369 00:47:46,390 --> 00:47:44,160 the kids 1370 00:47:47,510 --> 00:47:46,400 i don't know about sexual abuse because 1371 00:47:49,750 --> 00:47:47,520 we can't report it 1372 00:47:51,430 --> 00:47:49,760 in this case but in other similar cases 1373 00:47:53,829 --> 00:47:51,440 it seems to be at play 1374 00:47:56,069 --> 00:47:53,839 drugs can't report it in this case but 1375 00:47:59,030 --> 00:47:56,079 in other cases that seems to be a play 1376 00:48:00,390 --> 00:47:59,040 you know whitley reports that the only 1377 00:48:03,589 --> 00:48:00,400 way he believes 1378 00:48:05,109 --> 00:48:03,599 he even survived that experience is that 1379 00:48:07,030 --> 00:48:05,119 he got very very sick 1380 00:48:08,710 --> 00:48:07,040 and he had to go to the hospital and he 1381 00:48:10,470 --> 00:48:08,720 was at the hospital for seven days and 1382 00:48:12,390 --> 00:48:10,480 his mom came and visited him 1383 00:48:13,510 --> 00:48:12,400 and they kind of put an end to this 1384 00:48:16,950 --> 00:48:13,520 whole thing 1385 00:48:19,990 --> 00:48:16,960 but he has connected with other kids 1386 00:48:22,150 --> 00:48:20,000 from san antonio of that time 1387 00:48:23,109 --> 00:48:22,160 that were in there and he said some of 1388 00:48:25,270 --> 00:48:23,119 them 1389 00:48:27,510 --> 00:48:25,280 never made it out or made it out as 1390 00:48:27,910 --> 00:48:27,520 shells of who they formerly were you 1391 00:48:29,910 --> 00:48:27,920 know 1392 00:48:31,589 --> 00:48:29,920 stayed in their house until they were 50 1393 00:48:33,510 --> 00:48:31,599 years old and then 1394 00:48:35,430 --> 00:48:33,520 died a lonely death that was the kid 1395 00:48:38,950 --> 00:48:35,440 right across the street from 1396 00:48:40,150 --> 00:48:38,960 but to finish this story what they were 1397 00:48:42,470 --> 00:48:40,160 doing 1398 00:48:45,030 --> 00:48:42,480 was they were trying to create 1399 00:48:46,950 --> 00:48:45,040 disassociative identity disorder 1400 00:48:49,349 --> 00:48:46,960 and you've run into this again and again 1401 00:48:52,390 --> 00:48:49,359 i've heard you report it on 1402 00:48:55,670 --> 00:48:52,400 thc so here 1403 00:48:58,710 --> 00:48:55,680 is a technology if you will 1404 00:49:00,150 --> 00:48:58,720 of saying if i can create this altered 1405 00:49:03,190 --> 00:49:00,160 personality 1406 00:49:06,309 --> 00:49:03,200 and if i can routinely do it 1407 00:49:09,670 --> 00:49:06,319 then maybe i can figure out a way to 1408 00:49:11,750 --> 00:49:09,680 jump me into that extended realm 1409 00:49:13,910 --> 00:49:11,760 so i connect that with what you're 1410 00:49:16,549 --> 00:49:13,920 saying about the parker brothers 1411 00:49:17,990 --> 00:49:16,559 ouija board which i think is awesome but 1412 00:49:20,950 --> 00:49:18,000 now i think we're talking about 1413 00:49:23,109 --> 00:49:20,960 exactly the same thing and you can 1414 00:49:26,230 --> 00:49:23,119 imagine some 1415 00:49:30,150 --> 00:49:26,240 evil genius sydney gottlieb 1416 00:49:32,390 --> 00:49:30,160 type of our version of joseph mengele 1417 00:49:33,430 --> 00:49:32,400 sitting there going oh let's see how 1418 00:49:36,710 --> 00:49:33,440 this works and 1419 00:49:38,230 --> 00:49:36,720 is this more effective and why wouldn't 1420 00:49:40,870 --> 00:49:38,240 we attach 1421 00:49:41,990 --> 00:49:40,880 the latest and greatest technology the 1422 00:49:45,750 --> 00:49:42,000 latest and greatest 1423 00:49:48,950 --> 00:49:45,760 whatever of course 1424 00:49:52,390 --> 00:49:48,960 if you will go that far if you'll lock 1425 00:49:54,549 --> 00:49:52,400 eight-year-old kids in faraday cages and 1426 00:49:56,150 --> 00:49:54,559 traumatize them in order to create a 1427 00:49:59,530 --> 00:49:56,160 dissociative identity 1428 00:50:01,270 --> 00:49:59,540 within them what wouldn't you do 1429 00:50:04,150 --> 00:50:01,280 [Music] 1430 00:50:06,069 --> 00:50:04,160 right right obviously there's some kind 1431 00:50:10,470 --> 00:50:06,079 of relationship between 1432 00:50:14,150 --> 00:50:10,480 trauma being terrorized extreme 1433 00:50:14,950 --> 00:50:14,160 emotional states and the dark forces on 1434 00:50:16,790 --> 00:50:14,960 the other side 1435 00:50:19,270 --> 00:50:16,800 whether you're opening up to them or 1436 00:50:22,309 --> 00:50:19,280 whatever obviously this is the basis for 1437 00:50:23,270 --> 00:50:22,319 stranger things the whole beginning part 1438 00:50:25,910 --> 00:50:23,280 of it is 1439 00:50:27,270 --> 00:50:25,920 her being traumatized in a lab so that 1440 00:50:30,309 --> 00:50:27,280 she can be the one 1441 00:50:33,190 --> 00:50:30,319 to make contact with this demonic 1442 00:50:33,750 --> 00:50:33,200 entity on the other side that's a great 1443 00:50:36,950 --> 00:50:33,760 point 1444 00:50:39,829 --> 00:50:36,960 and the technology folds right into that 1445 00:50:41,510 --> 00:50:39,839 seamlessly of course it would and that's 1446 00:50:43,510 --> 00:50:41,520 why i think we got to kind of 1447 00:50:45,270 --> 00:50:43,520 stake our claim out there you and i do a 1448 00:50:47,190 --> 00:50:45,280 little bit because i think we're kind of 1449 00:50:50,390 --> 00:50:47,200 beating around the bush 1450 00:50:51,990 --> 00:50:50,400 what it seems like is emerging is a 1451 00:50:54,630 --> 00:50:52,000 scenario where 1452 00:50:55,990 --> 00:50:54,640 all these things are in some way 1453 00:51:00,150 --> 00:50:56,000 different 1454 00:51:02,230 --> 00:51:00,160 but are linked together in a way that we 1455 00:51:03,990 --> 00:51:02,240 don't fully understand but are kind of 1456 00:51:06,710 --> 00:51:04,000 capitalizing on each other 1457 00:51:08,230 --> 00:51:06,720 so no i don't think the whole thing 1458 00:51:11,510 --> 00:51:08,240 reduces down 1459 00:51:14,309 --> 00:51:11,520 to an ai silicone computer program 1460 00:51:15,750 --> 00:51:14,319 that isn't my read of the data my read 1461 00:51:19,589 --> 00:51:15,760 of the data is 1462 00:51:21,670 --> 00:51:19,599 that folds naturally into this 1463 00:51:23,589 --> 00:51:21,680 if you are so inclined if you have that 1464 00:51:27,030 --> 00:51:23,599 kind of luciferian 1465 00:51:29,910 --> 00:51:27,040 kind of know everything big brain 1466 00:51:30,630 --> 00:51:29,920 i create better than the creator gods if 1467 00:51:33,510 --> 00:51:30,640 that's your 1468 00:51:35,030 --> 00:51:33,520 energy technology is going to fold 1469 00:51:37,190 --> 00:51:35,040 seamlessly in 1470 00:51:38,950 --> 00:51:37,200 but so will a lot of other things so 1471 00:51:42,549 --> 00:51:38,960 will a golden dawn 1472 00:51:43,109 --> 00:51:42,559 and oto and chaos a lot of things will 1473 00:51:45,829 --> 00:51:43,119 fold 1474 00:51:46,790 --> 00:51:45,839 into that same energy and that doesn't 1475 00:51:49,270 --> 00:51:46,800 mean that we can 1476 00:51:50,069 --> 00:51:49,280 paint it all with a brush and say that 1477 00:51:54,750 --> 00:51:50,079 it's all 1478 00:51:57,630 --> 00:51:54,760 has 1479 00:52:00,309 --> 00:51:57,640 potentiality it just seems like that 1480 00:52:01,030 --> 00:52:00,319 potentiality is pretty highly charged on 1481 00:52:04,630 --> 00:52:01,040 the 1482 00:52:07,030 --> 00:52:04,640 negative side i agree 1483 00:52:08,230 --> 00:52:07,040 i agree it's like we're talking about a 1484 00:52:11,270 --> 00:52:08,240 mindset 1485 00:52:12,950 --> 00:52:11,280 that extends beyond just mk ultra and 1486 00:52:15,829 --> 00:52:12,960 satanic ritual abuse 1487 00:52:17,109 --> 00:52:15,839 it's a similar mindset but it seems to 1488 00:52:19,349 --> 00:52:17,119 be applied 1489 00:52:21,270 --> 00:52:19,359 in silicon valley in certain ways these 1490 00:52:23,109 --> 00:52:21,280 days total but 1491 00:52:24,710 --> 00:52:23,119 if that is the plan if they're still 1492 00:52:25,510 --> 00:52:24,720 trying to weaponize extended 1493 00:52:28,069 --> 00:52:25,520 consciousness 1494 00:52:29,670 --> 00:52:28,079 i think it's just a little harder to 1495 00:52:32,710 --> 00:52:29,680 visualize or 1496 00:52:33,670 --> 00:52:32,720 contextualize what that looks like in 1497 00:52:36,870 --> 00:52:33,680 the ai 1498 00:52:37,510 --> 00:52:36,880 computer space other than some kind of 1499 00:52:39,510 --> 00:52:37,520 digital 1500 00:52:41,109 --> 00:52:39,520 ouija board how else do you think it 1501 00:52:43,270 --> 00:52:41,119 applies 1502 00:52:44,710 --> 00:52:43,280 i'm not so sure that's the right 1503 00:52:47,750 --> 00:52:44,720 question 1504 00:52:49,990 --> 00:52:47,760 getting at 1505 00:52:51,829 --> 00:52:50,000 is and these are question is the key 1506 00:52:52,950 --> 00:52:51,839 word here because we don't know yeah we 1507 00:52:55,430 --> 00:52:52,960 should be lining up 1508 00:52:56,790 --> 00:52:55,440 the phd students and rather than sending 1509 00:52:59,990 --> 00:52:56,800 them off doing 1510 00:53:01,990 --> 00:53:00,000 nonsense counterproductive [\h__\h] 1511 00:53:03,829 --> 00:53:02,000 they should be trying to grapple with 1512 00:53:06,790 --> 00:53:03,839 these fundamental questions 1513 00:53:07,589 --> 00:53:06,800 but i tie it back to two things one raw 1514 00:53:10,470 --> 00:53:07,599 leading 1515 00:53:12,069 --> 00:53:10,480 rich spiritual lives so don't point at 1516 00:53:14,390 --> 00:53:12,079 elon musk and don't 1517 00:53:15,109 --> 00:53:14,400 hate on elon musk even though neural 1518 00:53:18,630 --> 00:53:15,119 link is 1519 00:53:18,950 --> 00:53:18,640 luciferian black magic you know he's 1520 00:53:21,829 --> 00:53:18,960 still 1521 00:53:22,390 --> 00:53:21,839 trying to figure it all out as we all 1522 00:53:28,069 --> 00:53:22,400 are 1523 00:53:28,790 --> 00:53:28,079 rich spiritual lives then my read of the 1524 00:53:32,549 --> 00:53:28,800 data 1525 00:53:36,390 --> 00:53:32,559 is that the light the love 1526 00:53:39,990 --> 00:53:36,400 is an infinite order of magnitude 1527 00:53:42,549 --> 00:53:40,000 bigger greater larger than 1528 00:53:44,230 --> 00:53:42,559 this lower level stuff and i know that's 1529 00:53:46,309 --> 00:53:44,240 hard to kind of it sounds 1530 00:53:47,270 --> 00:53:46,319 a little bit too good to be true and a 1531 00:53:50,630 --> 00:53:47,280 little bit too 1532 00:53:53,030 --> 00:53:50,640 pollyanna but i feel like 1533 00:53:54,230 --> 00:53:53,040 that's my read of the data that the best 1534 00:53:57,030 --> 00:53:54,240 data i get for that 1535 00:53:58,470 --> 00:53:57,040 is near death experience because there's 1536 00:54:00,390 --> 00:53:58,480 a case where 1537 00:54:02,630 --> 00:54:00,400 you know scientifically if you will 1538 00:54:04,150 --> 00:54:02,640 medically we can say with confidence 1539 00:54:05,190 --> 00:54:04,160 that the brain is now out of the 1540 00:54:07,990 --> 00:54:05,200 equation 1541 00:54:08,870 --> 00:54:08,000 so why does the data look so different 1542 00:54:11,109 --> 00:54:08,880 when we 1543 00:54:11,910 --> 00:54:11,119 go down that path that's a question that 1544 00:54:15,430 --> 00:54:11,920 i ask 1545 00:54:19,430 --> 00:54:15,440 so my conclusion is maybe 1546 00:54:22,230 --> 00:54:19,440 what we see in this realm of 1547 00:54:24,230 --> 00:54:22,240 what's being manifested is evil but 1548 00:54:26,549 --> 00:54:24,240 isn't even fully evil like we said you 1549 00:54:30,069 --> 00:54:26,559 know the luciferian vibe is not 1550 00:54:31,349 --> 00:54:30,079 all evil it's just a force 1551 00:54:33,109 --> 00:54:31,359 you know it's a force that can be 1552 00:54:35,190 --> 00:54:33,119 applied in different ways but 1553 00:54:37,510 --> 00:54:35,200 anyways i'm kind of rambling are you 1554 00:54:40,549 --> 00:54:37,520 picking up the threat i'm saying i mean 1555 00:54:42,470 --> 00:54:40,559 you know maybe the light is really 1556 00:54:44,710 --> 00:54:42,480 what it's all about and i don't mean 1557 00:54:46,549 --> 00:54:44,720 that in just a like 1558 00:54:48,549 --> 00:54:46,559 what we want to hear thing maybe it 1559 00:54:50,390 --> 00:54:48,559 really is more about the light than it 1560 00:54:52,789 --> 00:54:50,400 is about the dark 1561 00:54:54,470 --> 00:54:52,799 right and it gets back to those people 1562 00:54:56,789 --> 00:54:54,480 who say well it's all just 1563 00:54:58,230 --> 00:54:56,799 experience on some level yes i 1564 00:55:01,190 --> 00:54:58,240 understand that 1565 00:55:02,549 --> 00:55:01,200 this life this soul school this 1566 00:55:04,950 --> 00:55:02,559 simulation if you want to say 1567 00:55:07,030 --> 00:55:04,960 it would get boring really quick if we 1568 00:55:07,589 --> 00:55:07,040 were all just eating grapes and a 1569 00:55:09,990 --> 00:55:07,599 hammock 1570 00:55:11,589 --> 00:55:10,000 being fanned by topless models we got to 1571 00:55:15,349 --> 00:55:11,599 save some time for that 1572 00:55:16,789 --> 00:55:15,359 but obviously in the grand scheme of it 1573 00:55:18,710 --> 00:55:16,799 it would get pretty boring if there 1574 00:55:22,069 --> 00:55:18,720 wasn't some villain in the game 1575 00:55:24,069 --> 00:55:22,079 but when we die and the game ends for us 1576 00:55:26,069 --> 00:55:24,079 it's always love and light it seems to 1577 00:55:26,710 --> 00:55:26,079 be it seems to be those are the reports 1578 00:55:29,030 --> 00:55:26,720 from 1579 00:55:29,829 --> 00:55:29,040 the near-death experiences that i've 1580 00:55:31,829 --> 00:55:29,839 heard and 1581 00:55:33,109 --> 00:55:31,839 they far outweigh anything negative 1582 00:55:35,990 --> 00:55:33,119 although there do seem to be 1583 00:55:37,349 --> 00:55:36,000 a couple of negative ones but i guess 1584 00:55:39,109 --> 00:55:37,359 maybe that experience didn't 1585 00:55:40,710 --> 00:55:39,119 fully play itself out and maybe they 1586 00:55:42,309 --> 00:55:40,720 would have gotten to the light at the 1587 00:55:43,750 --> 00:55:42,319 end of the tunnel with grandma saying 1588 00:55:46,390 --> 00:55:43,760 it's all going to be okay 1589 00:55:48,390 --> 00:55:46,400 but yeah the data does seem to be that 1590 00:55:51,430 --> 00:55:48,400 no matter what goes on 1591 00:55:55,270 --> 00:55:51,440 in the end you're gonna be fine 1592 00:55:57,589 --> 00:55:55,280 and the universe is a warm hug 1593 00:56:00,069 --> 00:55:57,599 waiting for you to come into it with 1594 00:56:02,150 --> 00:56:00,079 open arms i guess in the end 1595 00:56:03,190 --> 00:56:02,160 and if that doesn't sound like enough of 1596 00:56:06,230 --> 00:56:03,200 a solve 1597 00:56:06,789 --> 00:56:06,240 for the evil problem i think we're 1598 00:56:10,390 --> 00:56:06,799 selling 1599 00:56:12,549 --> 00:56:10,400 that short a little bit because 1600 00:56:13,430 --> 00:56:12,559 i think our experience everyone's 1601 00:56:16,549 --> 00:56:13,440 experience 1602 00:56:19,829 --> 00:56:16,559 is that that evil is much 1603 00:56:22,150 --> 00:56:19,839 closer to us than that kind of 1604 00:56:23,190 --> 00:56:22,160 abstract you know grandma's hug kind of 1605 00:56:26,309 --> 00:56:23,200 thing 1606 00:56:29,030 --> 00:56:26,319 we all get the sense that we are 1607 00:56:29,670 --> 00:56:29,040 in the middle of the soup all the time 1608 00:56:32,950 --> 00:56:29,680 you know 1609 00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:32,960 and that whether it's the racing 1610 00:56:36,069 --> 00:56:33,440 thoughts 1611 00:56:37,910 --> 00:56:36,079 in our head or whether it's the 1612 00:56:41,190 --> 00:56:37,920 screaming at our loved one 1613 00:56:43,109 --> 00:56:41,200 or whether it's a lot lot worse which 1614 00:56:44,710 --> 00:56:43,119 all of us have probably engaged in 1615 00:56:47,349 --> 00:56:44,720 things that are like that 1616 00:56:48,470 --> 00:56:47,359 so i don't want to give a quick shuffle 1617 00:56:51,510 --> 00:56:48,480 out the door 1618 00:56:54,710 --> 00:56:51,520 for evil because i think most of us it's 1619 00:56:57,190 --> 00:56:54,720 very very real in us and 1620 00:56:59,670 --> 00:56:57,200 it's very real in the people around us 1621 00:57:01,589 --> 00:56:59,680 the psychopathic 1622 00:57:03,030 --> 00:57:01,599 situation that we've created because i 1623 00:57:03,510 --> 00:57:03,040 was going to say culture i was going to 1624 00:57:06,230 --> 00:57:03,520 say 1625 00:57:08,470 --> 00:57:06,240 all those things kind of failed i mean 1626 00:57:11,349 --> 00:57:08,480 the fact that psychopaths run the world 1627 00:57:12,230 --> 00:57:11,359 is inescapable you know so you got to 1628 00:57:15,750 --> 00:57:12,240 deal with that 1629 00:57:18,309 --> 00:57:15,760 grandma's hug is nice but right now we 1630 00:57:20,870 --> 00:57:18,319 have to deal with that first part 1631 00:57:22,789 --> 00:57:20,880 it's true but then it just kind of comes 1632 00:57:26,069 --> 00:57:22,799 back to if it is all experience 1633 00:57:29,349 --> 00:57:26,079 and once we die we get the warm glowing 1634 00:57:31,430 --> 00:57:29,359 love of the universe then 1635 00:57:32,789 --> 00:57:31,440 doesn't it have a role it has to play a 1636 00:57:36,069 --> 00:57:32,799 role in the experience 1637 00:57:38,630 --> 00:57:36,079 and maybe not maybe not in the way 1638 00:57:40,789 --> 00:57:38,640 that you're talking about right there 1639 00:57:44,069 --> 00:57:40,799 because my read of that data 1640 00:57:45,750 --> 00:57:44,079 is that the most important part of the 1641 00:57:48,150 --> 00:57:45,760 near-death experience 1642 00:57:49,990 --> 00:57:48,160 and i really got this from a guy named 1643 00:57:51,430 --> 00:57:50,000 dr jeff long and i'm so excited because 1644 00:57:52,950 --> 00:57:51,440 he's coming back 1645 00:57:55,109 --> 00:57:52,960 on skeptico in a couple weeks and 1646 00:57:56,630 --> 00:57:55,119 there's so many next level things 1647 00:57:58,789 --> 00:57:56,640 that one i want to talk to this guy 1648 00:58:01,589 --> 00:57:58,799 about but he is a 1649 00:58:02,470 --> 00:58:01,599 radiation oncologist which puts him in 1650 00:58:03,910 --> 00:58:02,480 the death game 1651 00:58:05,829 --> 00:58:03,920 all the time he's dealing with people 1652 00:58:08,870 --> 00:58:05,839 who are dying of cancer 1653 00:58:10,230 --> 00:58:08,880 and he's a full-time highly regarded 1654 00:58:11,510 --> 00:58:10,240 radiation oncologist 1655 00:58:13,430 --> 00:58:11,520 but he's written these best-selling 1656 00:58:16,390 --> 00:58:13,440 books on near-death experience 1657 00:58:17,990 --> 00:58:16,400 and he's collected the largest database 1658 00:58:20,069 --> 00:58:18,000 of near-death experiences 1659 00:58:22,390 --> 00:58:20,079 a searchable database you can go online 1660 00:58:23,109 --> 00:58:22,400 and see you can read and compare all 1661 00:58:24,870 --> 00:58:23,119 these 1662 00:58:27,750 --> 00:58:24,880 things we're saying kind of alluding to 1663 00:58:29,349 --> 00:58:27,760 about grandma's hug and stuff like that 1664 00:58:31,990 --> 00:58:29,359 and the biggest thing that comes out of 1665 00:58:36,470 --> 00:58:32,000 that is that 1666 00:58:38,950 --> 00:58:36,480 no you will be judged grandma's hug 1667 00:58:41,589 --> 00:58:38,960 isn't what it's really about what it's 1668 00:58:45,030 --> 00:58:41,599 really about is judgment 1669 00:58:47,510 --> 00:58:45,040 but you're the one doing the judging 1670 00:58:49,030 --> 00:58:47,520 so when this really hit me i mean it 1671 00:58:50,470 --> 00:58:49,040 took me a long time for me to really 1672 00:58:53,750 --> 00:58:50,480 process this 1673 00:58:55,829 --> 00:58:53,760 but the way i relate it to is well [\h__\h] 1674 00:58:59,349 --> 00:58:55,839 i know that all along 1675 00:59:02,870 --> 00:58:59,359 when i was a little kid seven years old 1676 00:59:04,470 --> 00:59:02,880 running down to toducci's grocery store 1677 00:59:05,589 --> 00:59:04,480 down in the corner back when they had 1678 00:59:07,910 --> 00:59:05,599 those old-fashioned 1679 00:59:09,109 --> 00:59:07,920 you know candy stores and i was like man 1680 00:59:10,549 --> 00:59:09,119 i don't have a nickel 1681 00:59:12,549 --> 00:59:10,559 i don't have a dime i don't have a 1682 00:59:14,069 --> 00:59:12,559 porter i'm going to steal this candy 1683 00:59:15,430 --> 00:59:14,079 i'll put it in my pocket no one will 1684 00:59:18,069 --> 00:59:15,440 notice 1685 00:59:19,270 --> 00:59:18,079 i didn't feel like jesus was judging me 1686 00:59:21,990 --> 00:59:19,280 right then 1687 00:59:23,589 --> 00:59:22,000 i just felt internally in my gut and 1688 00:59:26,069 --> 00:59:23,599 sometimes i took the candy 1689 00:59:28,390 --> 00:59:26,079 but sometimes i just felt like man that 1690 00:59:30,950 --> 00:59:28,400 wasn't the right thing to do 1691 00:59:32,470 --> 00:59:30,960 and that's what they're saying and 1692 00:59:34,069 --> 00:59:32,480 they're not saying it to like 1693 00:59:35,910 --> 00:59:34,079 manipulate you but that's what the 1694 00:59:37,589 --> 00:59:35,920 near-death experiences are saying saying 1695 00:59:40,950 --> 00:59:37,599 when you get to the other side 1696 00:59:43,750 --> 00:59:40,960 you just have compassion but at the same 1697 00:59:46,230 --> 00:59:43,760 time you have this sense of judgment of 1698 00:59:47,910 --> 00:59:46,240 this is what's weighing on your soul 1699 00:59:50,470 --> 00:59:47,920 everything you've done 1700 00:59:52,390 --> 00:59:50,480 is now weighing on your soul and that's 1701 00:59:53,910 --> 00:59:52,400 not good or bad it's just the freaking 1702 00:59:58,150 --> 00:59:53,920 way that it is you know 1703 01:00:02,069 --> 00:59:58,160 buck up deal with it yes and to me 1704 01:00:04,549 --> 01:00:02,079 that puts a different spin on everything 1705 01:00:05,589 --> 01:00:04,559 that puts a different spin on the lab 1706 01:00:08,390 --> 01:00:05,599 tech 1707 01:00:09,910 --> 01:00:08,400 who killed ten thousand mice a different 1708 01:00:12,789 --> 01:00:09,920 spin on the attorney 1709 01:00:14,069 --> 01:00:12,799 who said oh what the hell pfizer's my 1710 01:00:15,750 --> 01:00:14,079 boss pfizer pays my 1711 01:00:18,069 --> 01:00:15,760 bills i don't care if it's right or 1712 01:00:21,510 --> 01:00:18,079 wrong imagine 1713 01:00:24,549 --> 01:00:21,520 now you're in a realm where that becomes 1714 01:00:26,789 --> 01:00:24,559 realer than real you're feeling that 1715 01:00:28,390 --> 01:00:26,799 fully and it's not someone looking over 1716 01:00:30,710 --> 01:00:28,400 your shoulder saying you 1717 01:00:31,910 --> 01:00:30,720 bastard son of a [\h__\h] now you will pay 1718 01:00:33,910 --> 01:00:31,920 it's none of that 1719 01:00:35,030 --> 01:00:33,920 it's the ultimate compassion and love 1720 01:00:38,309 --> 01:00:35,040 but saying 1721 01:00:42,150 --> 01:00:38,319 wow craig you could have done 1722 01:00:44,870 --> 01:00:42,160 better you are better than that yeah 1723 01:00:46,150 --> 01:00:44,880 no it's totally true it goes with 1724 01:00:48,069 --> 01:00:46,160 science 1725 01:00:50,630 --> 01:00:48,079 leading us down this path of well there 1726 01:00:51,510 --> 01:00:50,640 is no god there is no spirit there is no 1727 01:00:54,069 --> 01:00:51,520 consciousness 1728 01:00:55,270 --> 01:00:54,079 it also means there is no wayne of the 1729 01:00:57,990 --> 01:00:55,280 heart ceremony 1730 01:01:00,150 --> 01:00:58,000 there is no life review nothing you do 1731 01:01:02,710 --> 01:01:00,160 matters there is no judgment 1732 01:01:04,390 --> 01:01:02,720 and it was because of your interview or 1733 01:01:06,870 --> 01:01:04,400 maybe interviews with dr 1734 01:01:09,270 --> 01:01:06,880 raymond moody that i had him on recently 1735 01:01:12,150 --> 01:01:09,280 and i definitely wanted to focus on 1736 01:01:12,630 --> 01:01:12,160 that life review aspect that so many 1737 01:01:15,670 --> 01:01:12,640 people 1738 01:01:17,510 --> 01:01:15,680 seem to report i felt the pain that i 1739 01:01:20,150 --> 01:01:17,520 caused every single person 1740 01:01:20,950 --> 01:01:20,160 from their perspective like that's 1741 01:01:23,589 --> 01:01:20,960 interesting 1742 01:01:24,069 --> 01:01:23,599 and that is what the data kind of says 1743 01:01:26,950 --> 01:01:24,079 and 1744 01:01:29,030 --> 01:01:26,960 when it comes to what is life i really 1745 01:01:32,150 --> 01:01:29,040 do conclude with that 1746 01:01:35,030 --> 01:01:32,160 that soul school hypothesis like 1747 01:01:36,710 --> 01:01:35,040 if this is something and reincarnation 1748 01:01:39,670 --> 01:01:36,720 is real well it seems to be 1749 01:01:41,190 --> 01:01:39,680 a soul school and if that's true well 1750 01:01:44,069 --> 01:01:41,200 where are the tests 1751 01:01:45,670 --> 01:01:44,079 well that's what evil's role is is the 1752 01:01:48,549 --> 01:01:45,680 temptation 1753 01:01:50,150 --> 01:01:48,559 like can you pass that test we finish a 1754 01:01:52,230 --> 01:01:50,160 life it's pass fail 1755 01:01:53,750 --> 01:01:52,240 and you either go on to something else 1756 01:01:55,990 --> 01:01:53,760 that we probably never will 1757 01:01:57,349 --> 01:01:56,000 understand until we get there personally 1758 01:01:59,589 --> 01:01:57,359 or we fail 1759 01:02:01,349 --> 01:01:59,599 we come back and we repeat the process 1760 01:02:05,029 --> 01:02:01,359 but without evil being here 1761 01:02:06,549 --> 01:02:05,039 without some temptation there is no test 1762 01:02:09,430 --> 01:02:06,559 and it's kind of like jordan peterson 1763 01:02:10,309 --> 01:02:09,440 would say you can't really be a good 1764 01:02:13,430 --> 01:02:10,319 person 1765 01:02:15,829 --> 01:02:13,440 until you know your capacity for evil 1766 01:02:18,390 --> 01:02:15,839 we all know ignorant people we all know 1767 01:02:21,190 --> 01:02:18,400 really simple-minded nice guys 1768 01:02:21,990 --> 01:02:21,200 that have never heard a fly or anything 1769 01:02:23,990 --> 01:02:22,000 and it's like 1770 01:02:25,349 --> 01:02:24,000 well have they really wrestled with the 1771 01:02:27,510 --> 01:02:25,359 damage they could do 1772 01:02:29,270 --> 01:02:27,520 is it a choice for that person because 1773 01:02:30,470 --> 01:02:29,280 it seems like that person is just so 1774 01:02:32,549 --> 01:02:30,480 simple minded they're 1775 01:02:34,230 --> 01:02:32,559 doing what they're told and following 1776 01:02:34,549 --> 01:02:34,240 the teachers good lessons and leaving 1777 01:02:37,349 --> 01:02:34,559 them 1778 01:02:38,150 --> 01:02:37,359 an apple on the desk every friday and 1779 01:02:40,150 --> 01:02:38,160 it's like 1780 01:02:41,750 --> 01:02:40,160 they're just a good little pet but no a 1781 01:02:42,470 --> 01:02:41,760 lot of other people they deal with their 1782 01:02:44,789 --> 01:02:42,480 shadow 1783 01:02:46,950 --> 01:02:44,799 and they recognize oh my god i can 1784 01:02:48,630 --> 01:02:46,960 really crush lives like i can do some 1785 01:02:50,470 --> 01:02:48,640 real damage here and now i'm gonna 1786 01:02:52,069 --> 01:02:50,480 choose to not do that in fact i'm gonna 1787 01:02:53,990 --> 01:02:52,079 keep my shadow in check 1788 01:02:56,150 --> 01:02:54,000 i'm gonna integrate it into myself or 1789 01:02:58,789 --> 01:02:56,160 something but i'm gonna overcome that 1790 01:03:00,630 --> 01:02:58,799 and if the universe is a soul school and 1791 01:03:01,510 --> 01:03:00,640 i think that's the best hypothesis we 1792 01:03:03,430 --> 01:03:01,520 got 1793 01:03:06,390 --> 01:03:03,440 there have to be tests and maybe that's 1794 01:03:09,190 --> 01:03:06,400 evil's position in the game 1795 01:03:10,950 --> 01:03:09,200 and i know we're a little past time here 1796 01:03:12,309 --> 01:03:10,960 i hope that's okay but as we're starting 1797 01:03:14,549 --> 01:03:12,319 to wrap this up 1798 01:03:15,990 --> 01:03:14,559 you know your show has been really on 1799 01:03:17,910 --> 01:03:16,000 the money these days and 1800 01:03:19,109 --> 01:03:17,920 your finger is on the pulse of what's 1801 01:03:21,670 --> 01:03:19,119 happening in 1802 01:03:22,789 --> 01:03:21,680 cutting edge science i'm curious if 1803 01:03:26,710 --> 01:03:22,799 there are any 1804 01:03:27,750 --> 01:03:26,720 new books in the scientific exploration 1805 01:03:30,069 --> 01:03:27,760 of weird stuff 1806 01:03:31,190 --> 01:03:30,079 areas that you think are must reads the 1807 01:03:33,589 --> 01:03:31,200 virus has taken up 1808 01:03:35,589 --> 01:03:33,599 so much energy i haven't even really 1809 01:03:36,789 --> 01:03:35,599 dove very deep into what else is 1810 01:03:39,670 --> 01:03:36,799 happening out there 1811 01:03:41,750 --> 01:03:39,680 but are there people that are you think 1812 01:03:43,430 --> 01:03:41,760 maybe good interviews for thc have a 1813 01:03:46,150 --> 01:03:43,440 more sciency flavor that 1814 01:03:47,829 --> 01:03:46,160 i should look into oh greg i wish you 1815 01:03:48,950 --> 01:03:47,839 wouldn't ask that i'm in a total 1816 01:03:52,069 --> 01:03:48,960 different thing man 1817 01:03:55,109 --> 01:03:52,079 my head space has been in the romans 1818 01:03:56,230 --> 01:03:55,119 i am deep deep deep into the romans into 1819 01:03:58,789 --> 01:03:56,240 christianity 1820 01:03:59,349 --> 01:03:58,799 into the early social engineering and 1821 01:04:02,230 --> 01:03:59,359 i'm just 1822 01:04:03,510 --> 01:04:02,240 fascinated with it the joe atwell stuff 1823 01:04:10,549 --> 01:04:03,520 well 1824 01:04:10,950 --> 01:04:10,559 he's kind of missed the first conspiracy 1825 01:04:12,710 --> 01:04:10,960 which 1826 01:04:14,630 --> 01:04:12,720 now i've bounced it off of enough 1827 01:04:15,670 --> 01:04:14,640 religious scholars and gotten that blank 1828 01:04:18,150 --> 01:04:15,680 stare or that 1829 01:04:19,190 --> 01:04:18,160 outright hostility that i feel very 1830 01:04:21,190 --> 01:04:19,200 confident 1831 01:04:22,309 --> 01:04:21,200 that the evidence is overwhelming and 1832 01:04:24,950 --> 01:04:22,319 it's true and 1833 01:04:26,549 --> 01:04:24,960 the bad thing i guess about skeptico 1834 01:04:27,990 --> 01:04:26,559 sometimes and i think it does frustrate 1835 01:04:29,829 --> 01:04:28,000 people is 1836 01:04:31,589 --> 01:04:29,839 people that do enter a lot of interviews 1837 01:04:33,270 --> 01:04:31,599 about evil and it's like there's nothing 1838 01:04:34,950 --> 01:04:33,280 else going on in the world right now 1839 01:04:36,630 --> 01:04:34,960 because i'm interested in evil well 1840 01:04:37,190 --> 01:04:36,640 they're kind of now having to endure a 1841 01:04:40,150 --> 01:04:37,200 bunch of 1842 01:04:43,750 --> 01:04:40,160 interviews about first century roman 1843 01:04:47,829 --> 01:04:43,760 history and vespasian and josephus and 1844 01:04:49,670 --> 01:04:47,839 but it is a story that i think 1845 01:04:51,430 --> 01:04:49,680 we all know part of the story but i 1846 01:04:54,549 --> 01:04:51,440 think it's a fundamental rewrite 1847 01:04:56,549 --> 01:04:54,559 of how the game 1848 01:04:58,069 --> 01:04:56,559 has always been played and maybe not 1849 01:05:01,109 --> 01:04:58,079 always is too far but 1850 01:05:02,470 --> 01:05:01,119 how these freaking guys were gonna play 1851 01:05:03,670 --> 01:05:02,480 in this thing playing the social 1852 01:05:05,829 --> 01:05:03,680 engineering game 1853 01:05:07,109 --> 01:05:05,839 from the beginning and what are the 1854 01:05:09,270 --> 01:05:07,119 implications for 1855 01:05:11,430 --> 01:05:09,280 where we're at so i'm chewing through 1856 01:05:13,029 --> 01:05:11,440 that and then once i get that maybe i 1857 01:05:14,870 --> 01:05:13,039 can return to science but right now i 1858 01:05:17,270 --> 01:05:14,880 haven't really 1859 01:05:18,470 --> 01:05:17,280 really dug into it well well fair enough 1860 01:05:20,230 --> 01:05:18,480 and just to leave 1861 01:05:22,390 --> 01:05:20,240 the people with maybe a little bit of 1862 01:05:23,829 --> 01:05:22,400 cliff notes to that what do you find so 1863 01:05:26,470 --> 01:05:23,839 interesting about 1864 01:05:27,750 --> 01:05:26,480 going back to the romans and the initial 1865 01:05:30,870 --> 01:05:27,760 social engineering 1866 01:05:33,270 --> 01:05:30,880 because i agree that it's there i mean 1867 01:05:36,710 --> 01:05:33,280 we think of the romans as a very 1868 01:05:37,990 --> 01:05:36,720 bloodthirsty empire that definitely had 1869 01:05:41,589 --> 01:05:38,000 an iron-clad grip 1870 01:05:43,349 --> 01:05:41,599 on their people uh what's mind-blowing 1871 01:05:44,710 --> 01:05:43,359 about this 1872 01:05:46,549 --> 01:05:44,720 the christian angle is still 1873 01:05:51,109 --> 01:05:46,559 mind-blowing the fact 1874 01:05:55,270 --> 01:05:51,119 that people are so mind controlled 1875 01:05:55,750 --> 01:05:55,280 by christianity when christianity can be 1876 01:05:58,870 --> 01:05:55,760 shown 1877 01:06:04,710 --> 01:06:02,470 a game you know an invention 1878 01:06:05,829 --> 01:06:04,720 this is not to say christ consciousness 1879 01:06:06,950 --> 01:06:05,839 you know that gets into a whole 1880 01:06:07,349 --> 01:06:06,960 different realm of what we're talking 1881 01:06:09,270 --> 01:06:07,359 about 1882 01:06:10,789 --> 01:06:09,280 consciousness and extended consciousness 1883 01:06:15,510 --> 01:06:10,799 and historical jesus 1884 01:06:17,589 --> 01:06:15,520 who knows but in terms of co-opting 1885 01:06:19,829 --> 01:06:17,599 someone's spiritual beliefs jumping in 1886 01:06:22,870 --> 01:06:19,839 there to be that intermediary to say 1887 01:06:26,150 --> 01:06:22,880 oh no i can tell you 1888 01:06:28,789 --> 01:06:26,160 how to experience your greater self 1889 01:06:30,230 --> 01:06:28,799 i think that's exactly what's in play 1890 01:06:33,430 --> 01:06:30,240 and i think until we 1891 01:06:35,270 --> 01:06:33,440 unravel that it's kind of the mirror 1892 01:06:37,910 --> 01:06:35,280 image of the science game right 1893 01:06:39,349 --> 01:06:37,920 because in the science game it's hey 1894 01:06:41,910 --> 01:06:39,359 you're meaningless 1895 01:06:43,829 --> 01:06:41,920 so just let me control stuff it's 1896 01:06:45,670 --> 01:06:43,839 socialism communism you know it's like 1897 01:06:47,750 --> 01:06:45,680 the other thing that has been kind of 1898 01:06:49,190 --> 01:06:47,760 for a lot of people have kind of woken 1899 01:06:52,309 --> 01:06:49,200 up 1900 01:06:54,789 --> 01:06:52,319 is this idea that like hey i got a great 1901 01:06:56,309 --> 01:06:54,799 idea here i tell you what once you give 1902 01:06:58,630 --> 01:06:56,319 me all your [\h__\h] 1903 01:07:00,309 --> 01:06:58,640 all your material wealth and all your 1904 01:07:03,029 --> 01:07:00,319 rights and privileges 1905 01:07:04,549 --> 01:07:03,039 and then i'll dull those back out to you 1906 01:07:07,829 --> 01:07:04,559 in a way that i 1907 01:07:09,670 --> 01:07:07,839 want right so that's what they're saying 1908 01:07:11,270 --> 01:07:09,680 with the pandemic right they're saying 1909 01:07:13,430 --> 01:07:11,280 yeah you know we'll just decide what you 1910 01:07:15,510 --> 01:07:13,440 can do when you fly working 1911 01:07:17,670 --> 01:07:15,520 and people are like whoa why would i do 1912 01:07:18,710 --> 01:07:17,680 that why would i give you everything so 1913 01:07:21,349 --> 01:07:18,720 you can decide 1914 01:07:23,349 --> 01:07:21,359 well that is essentially what communism 1915 01:07:25,430 --> 01:07:23,359 is right and i'm not like 1916 01:07:28,710 --> 01:07:25,440 the oligarchy in capitalism and it's a 1917 01:07:31,829 --> 01:07:28,720 disaster and i get all that but 1918 01:07:33,109 --> 01:07:31,839 that just at a surface level is kind of 1919 01:07:40,390 --> 01:07:33,119 insane 1920 01:07:42,069 --> 01:07:40,400 is the idea that hey i had a genuine 1921 01:07:45,190 --> 01:07:42,079 spiritual experience 1922 01:07:47,349 --> 01:07:45,200 i died i felt what did you call the 1923 01:07:49,270 --> 01:07:47,359 weighing of my soul i went through that 1924 01:07:51,270 --> 01:07:49,280 i'm changed and then i come up and 1925 01:07:52,710 --> 01:07:51,280 somebody goes okay now 1926 01:07:54,870 --> 01:07:52,720 here's how we're gonna do this going 1927 01:07:56,230 --> 01:07:54,880 forward you're gonna come to church 1928 01:07:58,309 --> 01:07:56,240 you're going to look through this book 1929 01:08:00,549 --> 01:07:58,319 and i am going to start convincing you 1930 01:08:03,670 --> 01:08:00,559 that your genuine spiritual experience 1931 01:08:05,829 --> 01:08:03,680 can only be interpreted in this way 1932 01:08:08,870 --> 01:08:05,839 and the fact that that is the dominant 1933 01:08:11,670 --> 01:08:08,880 paradigm throughout the world 1934 01:08:13,190 --> 01:08:11,680 man that's just i still can't wrap my 1935 01:08:16,470 --> 01:08:13,200 head around 1936 01:08:18,870 --> 01:08:16,480 how that game has been fully played 1937 01:08:21,269 --> 01:08:18,880 so that's what brings me back to the 1938 01:08:26,630 --> 01:08:21,279 original 1939 01:08:29,749 --> 01:08:26,640 from josephus who was supposed to be 1940 01:08:31,430 --> 01:08:29,759 the super jew and then says hey all you 1941 01:08:31,910 --> 01:08:31,440 jewish people you know what we had it 1942 01:08:35,430 --> 01:08:31,920 wrong 1943 01:08:37,349 --> 01:08:35,440 really vespasian he's the messiah 1944 01:08:39,030 --> 01:08:37,359 forget it switch you're legit and it 1945 01:08:41,590 --> 01:08:39,040 doesn't work 1946 01:08:43,430 --> 01:08:41,600 they don't totally switch over but the 1947 01:08:45,110 --> 01:08:43,440 fact that they were playing at that 1948 01:08:48,789 --> 01:08:45,120 level 1949 01:08:52,229 --> 01:08:48,799 is just the beginning of unraveling 1950 01:08:54,470 --> 01:08:52,239 how we've all been played you know 1951 01:08:55,430 --> 01:08:54,480 and whether you are christian and i'm 1952 01:08:57,269 --> 01:08:55,440 not christian 1953 01:08:59,030 --> 01:08:57,279 but you're brought up in a christian 1954 01:09:00,229 --> 01:08:59,040 church or you're brought up in a 1955 01:09:02,789 --> 01:09:00,239 christian culture 1956 01:09:03,990 --> 01:09:02,799 it weighs on you and i just think it's 1957 01:09:07,030 --> 01:09:04,000 something that needs to be 1958 01:09:07,510 --> 01:09:07,040 unraveled well i agree with you it's a 1959 01:09:11,189 --> 01:09:07,520 great 1960 01:09:12,950 --> 01:09:11,199 case study in influence and propaganda 1961 01:09:15,030 --> 01:09:12,960 and this idea that just because it's 1962 01:09:17,590 --> 01:09:15,040 popular doesn't mean it's true 1963 01:09:19,030 --> 01:09:17,600 these are religious gatekeepers that 1964 01:09:22,309 --> 01:09:19,040 work for the empire 1965 01:09:24,630 --> 01:09:22,319 to hand people a spiritual cul-de-sac 1966 01:09:26,229 --> 01:09:24,640 and i totally agree with you empires 1967 01:09:28,950 --> 01:09:26,239 don't work so hard 1968 01:09:30,550 --> 01:09:28,960 to spread ideas that aren't going to 1969 01:09:31,990 --> 01:09:30,560 help them in the end so the fact that 1970 01:09:34,630 --> 01:09:32,000 they went around and 1971 01:09:35,030 --> 01:09:34,640 killed anyone who wouldn't comply with 1972 01:09:37,510 --> 01:09:35,040 this 1973 01:09:38,789 --> 01:09:37,520 model it's very telling because it did 1974 01:09:41,189 --> 01:09:38,799 get us to where we are 1975 01:09:42,630 --> 01:09:41,199 today where we don't think there's a god 1976 01:09:43,749 --> 01:09:42,640 and we don't think there's a spirit 1977 01:09:46,229 --> 01:09:43,759 world 1978 01:09:48,390 --> 01:09:46,239 first you demonize it you know and you 1979 01:09:50,789 --> 01:09:48,400 kill off anyone who has those ideas 1980 01:09:51,510 --> 01:09:50,799 and then just ignore it and now people 1981 01:09:53,669 --> 01:09:51,520 are 1982 01:09:56,070 --> 01:09:53,679 mocked for having those kind of ideas 1983 01:09:57,669 --> 01:09:56,080 and i think that's where we are now and 1984 01:09:58,229 --> 01:09:57,679 we're kind of coming out the other side 1985 01:10:00,790 --> 01:09:58,239 of that 1986 01:10:02,630 --> 01:10:00,800 and i think the medical lens the silver 1987 01:10:05,910 --> 01:10:02,640 lining is it's going to be very 1988 01:10:07,830 --> 01:10:05,920 helpful to bring spirituality back into 1989 01:10:09,270 --> 01:10:07,840 the culture that's my hope 1990 01:10:11,350 --> 01:10:09,280 yeah so you could probably do it in one 1991 01:10:13,830 --> 01:10:11,360 or two shows 1992 01:10:16,070 --> 01:10:13,840 20 or 30. oh man you're just too 1993 01:10:18,390 --> 01:10:16,080 complimentary i am just a

not the main thing listen to 2012 01:10:55,510 --> 01:10:54,960 skeptico but if you're interested in the 2013 01:10:59,110 --> 01:10:55,520 book 2014 01:11:01,590 --> 01:10:59,120 to read so let's

01:11:11,350 --> 01:11:06,800 care out there 2019 01:11:16,070 --> 01:11:14,149 well this was a fun one and how could i 2020 01:11:17,270 --> 01:11:16,080 not feel that way when alex is so 2021 01:11:20,630 --> 01:11:17,280 complimentary 2022 01:11:22,870 --> 01:11:20,640 he makes it easy but this topic of why 2023 01:11:24,630 --> 01:11:22,880 evil matters was a lot more interesting 2024 01:11:25,750 --> 01:11:24,640 than i first thought it would be and if 2025 01:11:27,750 --> 01:11:25,760 it wasn't alex 2026 01:11:29,110 --> 01:11:27,760 i might not have made time to read the 2027 01:11:31,350 --> 01:11:29,120 book 2028 01:11:33,430 --> 01:11:31,360 maybe because at first it seemed a bit 2029 01:11:33,910 --> 01:11:33,440 obvious but when i heard him talk about 2030 01:11:37,030 --> 01:11:33,920 this 2031 01:11:38,950 --> 01:11:37,040 project on roon soup many moons ago when 2032 01:11:40,070 --> 01:11:38,960 it wasn't a hundred percent fleshed out 2033 01:11:42,149 --> 01:11:40,080 yet 2034 01:11:43,590 --> 01:11:42,159 the wheels started turning and the more 2035 01:11:44,149 --> 01:11:43,600 i thought about it and worked through 2036 01:11:46,870 --> 01:11:44,159 the book 2037 01:11:47,910 --> 01:11:46,880 the more profound it seemed to be as he 2038 01:11:50,390 --> 01:11:47,920 said it's subtle 2039 01:11:51,990 --> 01:11:50,400 but it's still profound i might have 2040 01:11:53,510 --> 01:11:52,000 taken it for granted or 2041 01:11:55,910 --> 01:11:53,520 overlooked some of the implications 2042 01:11:58,310 --> 01:11:55,920 until i read through the book myself 2043 01:12:00,229 --> 01:11:58,320 and really it's a book about mk ultra 2044 01:12:02,149 --> 01:12:00,239 and aliens and remote viewing and 2045 01:12:04,149 --> 01:12:02,159 extended consciousness 2046 01:12:06,470 --> 01:12:04,159 so it's right up our alley regardless 2047 01:12:07,990 --> 01:12:06,480 but this evil angle does highlight some 2048

2084 01:13:21,030 --> 01:13:20,560 what can i add that hasn't been said 2085 01:13:23,030 --> 01:13:21,040 today 2086 01:13:24,709 --> 01:13:23,040 he spent an extra 20 minutes with us 2087 01:13:27,270 --> 01:13:24,719 which i thank him for 2088 01:13:28,950 --> 01:13:27,280 making a dent in the short show last 2089 01:13:31,990 --> 01:13:28,960 week already 2090 01:13:34,070 --> 01:13:32,000 but maybe it is all a spectrum on a 2091 01:13:36,390 --> 01:13:34,080 higher level maybe we can act all 2092 01:13:37,590 --> 01:13:36,400 enlightened and say it's all experienced 2093 01:13:39,910 --> 01:13:37,600 man 2094 01:13:41,270 --> 01:13:39,920 and on your 10 millionth life maybe you 2095 01:13:43,510 --> 01:13:41,280 do want to see what it's like 2096 01:13:44,950 --> 01:13:43,520 being born into poverty in a third world 2097 01:13:48,709 --> 01:13:44,960 country 2098 01:13:50,870 --> 01:13:48,719 or a psychopath with really deep pockets 2099 01:13:52,950 --> 01:13:50,880 but we aren't on a higher level we're on 2100 01:13:54,550 --> 01:13:52,960 this one and i think the reason there is 2101 01:13:57,669 --> 01:13:54,560 evil in this world 2102 01:13:59,990 --> 01:13:57,679 the reason we have villains is not just 2103 01:14:01,830 --> 01:14:00,000 to acquiesce and say well yeah 2104 01:14:03,030 --> 01:14:01,840 the catholic church rapes kids what are 2105 01:14:05,189 --> 01:14:03,040 you gonna do 2106 01:14:07,030 --> 01:14:05,199 or corporations have always been evil 2107 01:14:09,510 --> 01:14:07,040 can't change it 2108 01:14:11,910 --> 01:14:09,520 sure child labor and dangerous mining 2109 01:14:13,510 --> 01:14:11,920 operations and factories with suicide 2110 01:14:15,590 --> 01:14:13,520 nets on the windows are part of the 2111 01:14:17,270 --> 01:14:15,600 process that gets me my cell phone 2112 01:14:18,950 --> 01:14:17,280 but how am i gonna get around town 2113 01:14:21,430 --> 01:14:18,960 without google maps or know where the 2114 01:14:23,189 --> 01:14:21,440 best burger is without yelp 2115 01:14:25,110 --> 01:14:23,199 yeah government is a corrupt revolving 2116 01:14:27,590 --> 01:14:25,120 door of [\h__\h] might as well throw up 2117 01:14:28,709 --> 01:14:27,600 our hands and learn to live with it 2118 01:14:31,030 --> 01:14:28,719 i don't think those are the right 2119 01:14:33,990 --> 01:14:31,040 attitudes if this is a learning or 2120 01:14:36,310 --> 01:14:34,000 growth process of some kind if there is 2121 01:14:37,590 --> 01:14:36,320 a purpose to life besides getting high 2122 01:14:39,750 --> 01:14:37,600 and getting laid 2123 01:14:41,590 --> 01:14:39,760 well i think it's to push back against 2124 01:14:43,510 --> 01:14:41,600 these forces 2125 01:14:45,510 --> 01:14:43,520 and i'm not saying storm the capital we 2126 01:14:46,950 --> 01:14:45,520 don't fight violence with violence i 2127 01:14:47,750 --> 01:14:46,960 think that's another lesson in this 2128 01:14:49,510 --> 01:14:47,760 reality 2129 01:14:52,229 --> 01:14:49,520 as gordon has said sometimes you don't 2130 01:14:54,950 --> 01:14:52,239 get to fight sauron and all that 2131 01:14:58,149 --> 01:14:54,960 but you can push back living by higher 2132 01:15:00,310 --> 01:14:58,159 principles having some self-discipline 2133 01:15:02,390 --> 01:15:00,320 and of course things like making art and 2134 01:15:02,870 --> 01:15:02,400 spreading love all the cheesy hippie 2135 01:15:06,229 --> 01:15:02,880 stuff 2136 01:15:08,310 --> 01:15:06,239 i think actually has merit i understand 2137 01:15:09,590 --> 01:15:08,320 the notion that events on this earthly 2138 01:15:11,510 --> 01:15:09,600 plane might just be 2139 01:15:14,070 --> 01:15:11,520 some kind of cosmic theater i'm down 2140 01:15:15,430 --> 01:15:14,080 with that but when that perspective is 2141 01:15:17,910 --> 01:15:15,440 generally promoted 2142 01:15:19,110 --> 01:15:17,920 there's a subtext that i feel i pick up 2143 01:15:21,350 --> 01:15:19,120 on sometimes 2144 01:15:22,229 --> 01:15:21,360 that insinuates that since it's all 2145 01:15:24,310 --> 01:15:22,239 theater 2146 01:15:26,390 --> 01:15:24,320 just keep letting the kids in africa 2147 01:15:28,709 --> 01:15:26,400 starve don't worry so much about the 2148 01:15:30,070 --> 01:15:28,719 abused or fixing a problem like human 2149 01:15:31,910 --> 01:15:30,080 trafficking 2150 01:15:34,390 --> 01:15:31,920 because it's all part of the show the 2151 01:15:36,870 --> 01:15:34,400 range of experience it's all just energy 2152 01:15:39,270 --> 01:15:36,880 it's all neutral on a higher level and 2153 01:15:41,350 --> 01:15:39,280 let what happens happen 2154 01:15:43,990 --> 01:15:41,360 well i don't see it that way if this is 2155 01:15:46,070 --> 01:15:44,000 all theater and we're just playing parts 2156 01:15:48,070 --> 01:15:46,080 then you've got to play the part of a 2157 01:15:50,550 --> 01:15:48,080 person who pushes back 2158 01:15:53,030 --> 01:15:50,560 maybe it's not just theater but it's a 2159 01:15:55,110 --> 01:15:53,040 soul school one that doesn't want you to 2160 01:15:57,590 --> 01:15:55,120 be apathetic towards evil 2161 01:15:59,669 --> 01:15:57,600 spotting evil is supposed to be a call 2162 01:16:01,750 --> 01:15:59,679 to rise to the occasion not to shrug 2163 01:16:03,669 --> 01:16:01,760 your shoulders and say see on the astral 2164 01:16:04,870 --> 01:16:03,679 plane where we'll all laugh and hug it 2165 01:16:07,270 --> 01:16:04,880 out 2166 01:16:09,270 --> 01:16:07,280 it seems to me that the most legendarily 2167 01:16:10,950 --> 01:16:09,280 bold and admirable people 2168 01:16:12,790 --> 01:16:10,960 have this enlightened sense that the 2169 01:16:13,590 --> 01:16:12,800 physical world is not the main game in 2170 01:16:16,470 --> 01:16:13,600 town 2171 01:16:18,470 --> 01:16:16,480 and that fearlessness allowed them to be 2172 01:16:20,790 --> 01:16:18,480 proud of the way they stood up to evil 2173 01:16:23,110 --> 01:16:20,800 or fought back against it 2174 01:16:25,270 --> 01:16:23,120 i do my part but how many of our careers 2175 01:16:27,030 --> 01:16:25,280 and personal lives are aligned with the 2176 01:16:29,590 --> 01:16:27,040 greater good 2177 01:16:30,070 --> 01:16:29,600 even if it's just passive i mean really 2178 01:16:32,550 --> 01:16:30,080 i'm just 2179 01:16:34,470 --> 01:16:32,560 tubing down the lazy river of resistance 2180 01:16:36,630 --> 01:16:34,480 and finding what i think is a perfect 2181 01:16:38,229 --> 01:16:36,640 balance for myself between success and 2182 01:16:40,149 --> 01:16:38,239 service 2183 01:16:41,750 --> 01:16:40,159 it works for me and my guess is that 2184 01:16:44,229 --> 01:16:41,760 there's a way for a lot of people to 2185 01:16:46,149 --> 01:16:44,239 make some sort of pivot towards that 2186 01:16:48,790 --> 01:16:46,159 and if you're brave enough to try well 2187 01:16:51,910 --> 01:16:48,800 cheers to you it's scary sometimes 2188 01:16:53,910 --> 01:16:51,920 that illusion is persistent isn't it 2189 01:16:55,270 --> 01:16:53,920 the lesson is not to just realize it's 2190 01:16:57,030 --> 01:16:55,280 all a game the lesson is 2191 01:16:59,510 --> 01:16:57,040 actually to step up to the plate and 2192 01:17:02,630 --> 01:16:59,520 play your part in the game 2193 01:17:03,910 --> 01:17:02,640 put that on a t-shirt kids but i think 2194 01:17:06,229 --> 01:17:03,920 that's one of the main 2195 01:17:07,510 --> 01:17:06,239 important layers to alex's inquiry and 2196 01:17:10,149 --> 01:17:07,520 evil 2197 01:17:11,910 --> 01:17:10,159 this acceptance we see from a spiritual 2198 01:17:13,510 --> 01:17:11,920 perspective with the enlightened it's 2199 01:17:16,310 --> 01:17:13,520 all consciousness folks 2200 01:17:18,070 --> 01:17:16,320 the acceptance of it from the scientific 2201 01:17:20,630 --> 01:17:18,080 perspective where it's just a chemical 2202 01:17:22,149 --> 01:17:20,640 imbalance or a sexual preference 2203 01:17:24,229 --> 01:17:22,159 or something that's just part of our 2204 01:17:26,630 --> 01:17:24,239 animal instincts 2205 01:17:28,830 --> 01:17:26,640 those socially engineered mindsets 2206 01:17:30,070 --> 01:17:28,840 really do get us to accept a lot don't 2207 01:17:31,510 --> 01:17:30,080 they 2208 01:17:33,669 --> 01:17:31,520 i mean does the whole thing really need 2209 01:17:35,669 --> 01:17:33,679 to be more complicated than 2210 01:17:37,750 --> 01:17:35,679 evil is a force in reality and we're 2211 01:17:42,310 --> 01:17:37,760 supposed to resist that force or 2212 01:17:44,630 --> 01:17:42,320 at least make an equal amount of good 2213 01:17:46,229 --> 01:17:44,640 some people are too dumb to see evil as 2214 01:17:47,990 --> 01:17:46,239 evil and they got a lot of lessons to 2215 01:17:49,510 --> 01:17:48,000 learn and they'll be doing this soul 2216 01:17:52,310 --> 01:17:49,520 cycle for a long time 2217 01:17:54,149 --> 01:17:52,320 but if you see it and you can't fight it 2218 01:17:56,870 --> 01:17:54,159 with brute force you can counter 2219 01:17:58,870 --> 01:17:56,880 something like bear monsanto by growing 2220 01:18:01,189 --> 01:17:58,880 your own food and encouraging your 2221 01:18:03,110 --> 01:18:01,199 neighbors to do a food swap that's 2222 01:18:03,830 --> 01:18:03,120 making your whole neighborhood healthier 2223 01:18:05,669 --> 01:18:03,840 happier 2224 01:18:08,870 --> 01:18:05,679 and taking money out of the pockets of 2225 01:18:11,590 --> 01:18:08,880 those same forces doing so much damage 2226 01:18:12,950 --> 01:18:11,600 be a steward of the people in your small 2227 01:18:15,590 --> 01:18:12,960 circle 2228 01:18:16,950 --> 01:18:15,600 this isn't new stuff and you know what 2229 01:18:17,669 --> 01:18:16,960 you need to do and you know if you're 2230 01:18:20,550 --> 01:18:17,679 doing enough 2231 01:18:21,669 --> 01:18:20,560 of it because you can feel it as alex 2232 01:18:23,430 --> 01:18:21,679 said somewhere in there 2233 01:18:25,270 --> 01:18:23,440 you will be judged but you're the one 2234 01:18:27,510 --> 01:18:25,280 doing the judging 2235 01:18:29,350 --> 01:18:27,520 this is probably why that life review 2236 01:18:31,110 --> 01:18:29,360 happens and you experience a range of 2237 01:18:33,110 --> 01:18:31,120 things from another viewpoint 2238 01:18:36,390 --> 01:18:33,120 it just needs to be shown to you and the 2239 01:18:39,030 --> 01:18:36,400 morality of it should be self-evident 2240 01:18:40,070 --> 01:18:39,040 it feels like the universe saying you 2241 01:18:41,830 --> 01:18:40,080 could have done better 2242 01:18:43,910 --> 01:18:41,840 like a loving parent would who might 2243 01:18:46,390 --> 01:18:43,920 just be a little disappointed 2244 01:18:48,630 --> 01:18:46,400 i think you know if you passed or failed 2245 01:18:50,870 --> 01:18:48,640 this world is so full of hierarchy it's 2246 01:18:52,870 --> 01:18:50,880 hard to avoid that type of thinking that 2247 01:18:54,870 --> 01:18:52,880 some supreme being is going to be the 2248 01:18:57,270 --> 01:18:54,880 judge jury and executioner 2249 01:18:58,390 --> 01:18:57,280 but i think alex is right in that we do 2250 01:19:01,189 --> 01:18:58,400 the judging 2251 01:19:02,630 --> 01:19:01,199 and we might be in a situation where we 2252 01:19:04,950 --> 01:19:02,640 can't lie to ourselves 2253 01:19:07,350 --> 01:19:04,960 at the end of the game we know how we 2254 01:19:08,709 --> 01:19:07,360 felt we know why we did what we did in 2255 01:19:10,709 --> 01:19:08,719 this life 2256 01:19:12,470 --> 01:19:10,719 can elon musk stand up straight at the 2257 01:19:14,070 --> 01:19:12,480 life review and say well i just wanted 2258 01:19:15,990 --> 01:19:14,080 to explore the mind and push on the 2259 01:19:16,550 --> 01:19:16,000 boundaries of reality i'm not ashamed of 2260 01:19:18,390 --> 01:19:16,560 that 2261 01:19:20,229 --> 01:19:18,400 sorry about shipping all those pigs and 2262 01:19:22,229 --> 01:19:20,239 monkeys along the way to digitizing the 2263 01:19:24,950 --> 01:19:22,239 human brain 2264 01:19:26,790 --> 01:19:24,960 i guess only he can answer that but i 2265 01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:26,800 thought this was a good show alex always 2266 01:19:29,750 --> 01:19:29,040 flatters me a lot it's very kind of him 2267 01:19:33,030 --> 01:19:29,760 but i do 2268 01:19:34,390 --> 01:19:33,040 feel so ignorant and uneducated maybe 2269 01:19:35,990 --> 01:19:34,400 it's something like the difference 2270 01:19:37,669 --> 01:19:36,000 between wisdom and knowledge 2271 01:19:39,110 --> 01:19:37,679 because you can read all the books and 2272 01:19:42,390 --> 01:19:39,120 get the degrees 2273 01:19:44,149 --> 01:19:42,400 go through the system and get a master's 2274 01:19:46,790 --> 01:19:44,159 you're going to know a lot more about 2275 01:19:48,950 --> 01:19:46,800 say virology than me 2276 01:19:51,669 --> 01:19:48,960 but if you don't factor in greed and 2277 01:19:55,430 --> 01:19:51,679 corruption and corporate malfeasance and 2278 01:19:58,070 --> 01:19:55,440 basically evil those blind spots 2279 01:19:59,189 --> 01:19:58,080 almost make your whole body of knowledge 2280 01:20:01,510 --> 01:19:59,199 moot 2281 01:20:03,030 --> 01:20:01,520 it's very much the same as what alex 2282 01:20:04,790 --> 01:20:03,040 always says about consciousness 2283 01:20:06,550 --> 01:20:04,800 i say about conspiracy look you're 2284 01:20:08,390 --> 01:20:06,560 missing this giant piece 2285 01:20:09,910 --> 01:20:08,400 that actually affects everything to 2286 01:20:13,510 --> 01:20:09,920 pretend it's not there 2287 01:20:15,110 --> 01:20:13,520 is to miss the boat entirely structural 2288 01:20:17,669 --> 01:20:15,120 engineers can do all the mental 2289 01:20:19,590 --> 01:20:17,679 gymnastics and physics calculations they 2290 01:20:22,310 --> 01:20:19,600 need to do to convince themselves that 2291 01:20:24,149 --> 01:20:22,320 two planes took down the twin towers 2292 01:20:26,070 --> 01:20:24,159 do they know more about structural 2293 01:20:28,709 --> 01:20:26,080 engineering and physics than i do 2294 01:20:30,790 --> 01:20:28,719 of course but what's it all worth if 2295 01:20:32,149 --> 01:20:30,800 they can't wrestle with the concept of a 2296 01:20:34,310 --> 01:20:32,159 false flag and 2297 01:20:37,270 --> 01:20:34,320 a coordination between government and 2298 01:20:40,149 --> 01:20:37,280 media to convince the world otherwise 2299 01:20:41,830 --> 01:20:40,159 maybe engineering knowledge at a phd 2300 01:20:44,550 --> 01:20:41,840 level isn't really what's needed to 2301 01:20:47,030 --> 01:20:44,560 figure this one out 2302 01:20:47,990 --> 01:20:47,040 anyway as for the plush show we talked a 2303 01:20:50,709 --> 01:20:48,000 lot about the 2304 01:20:51,510 --> 01:20:50,719 various angles and camps and alternative 2305 01:20:54,229 --> 01:20:51,520 researchers 2306 01:20:56,229 --> 01:20:54,239 on the circuit talking about covid and 2307 01:20:59,030 --> 01:20:56,239 it got a bit spicy there too 2308 01:20:59,990 --> 01:20:59,040 because he's not shy about calling out 2309 01:21:02,470 --> 01:21:00,000 ideas he 2310 01:21:04,390 --> 01:21:02,480 thinks are stupid or people he thinks 2311 01:21:06,310 --> 01:21:04,400 are flat out wrong 2312 01:21:08,629 --> 01:21:06,320 alex said several times that he's not 2313 01:21:10,310 --> 01:21:08,639 afraid to be wrong and he really isn't 2314 01:21:12,709 --> 01:21:10,320 it's something i admire about him he's 2315 01:21:14,790 --> 01:21:12,719 excited by challenging ideas and having 2316 01:21:17,430 --> 01:21:14,800 his own ideas challenged 2317 01:21:18,229 --> 01:21:17,440 and he operates his show from that place 2318 01:21:20,629 --> 01:21:18,239 i say 2319 01:21:22,149 --> 01:21:20,639 he does confrontational interviews but i 2320 01:21:23,030 --> 01:21:22,159 don't even think that's the right word 2321 01:21:25,270 --> 01:21:23,040 for it 2322 01:21:27,910 --> 01:21:25,280 he's just got his pride so well in check 2323 01:21:28,229 --> 01:21:27,920 that he is totally okay with being wrong 2324 01:21:30,070 --> 01:21:28,239 and 2325 01:21:31,270 --> 01:21:30,080 assume some of his guests would have 2326 01:21:33,430 --> 01:21:31,280 their pride in check 2327 01:21:35,830 --> 01:21:33,440 similarly and when they don't that's 2328 01:21:37,590 --> 01:21:35,840 when we get some fireworks 2329 01:21:38,870 --> 01:21:37,600 they go out my only two shows that have 2330 01:21:41,110 --> 01:21:38,880 had fireworks you know 2331 01:21:42,629 --> 01:21:41,120 ten years and we got one yawn irving and 2332 01:21:44,870 --> 01:21:42,639 a steven greer 2333 01:21:46,470 --> 01:21:44,880 notice anything similar about these guys 2334 01:21:48,070 --> 01:21:46,480 personalities 2335 01:21:49,910 --> 01:21:48,080 do they have their pride and check i'm 2336 01:21:51,669 --> 01:21:49,920 not so sure 2337 01:21:53,430 --> 01:21:51,679 and it got really good towards the end 2338 01:21:55,830 --> 01:21:53,440 there because when it comes to alex's 2339 01:21:56,790 --> 01:21:55,840 background i appreciate and respect his 2340 01:21:59,510 --> 01:21:56,800 experiences 2341 01:22:00,790 --> 01:21:59,520 in the business tech venture capital 2342 01:22:02,229 --> 01:22:00,800 space 2343 01:22:04,550 --> 01:22:02,239 and i know he's open to some pretty 2344 01:22:06,870 --> 01:22:04,560 radical things but i think he was kind 2345 01:22:09,430 --> 01:22:06,880 of calling me out for being too trusting 2346 01:22:11,669 --> 01:22:09,440 or being naive about this perspective 2347 01:22:13,750 --> 01:22:11,679 that commercial corporate science is not 2348 01:22:15,910 --> 01:22:13,760 allowing some of these tesla tech type 2349 01:22:18,229 --> 01:22:15,920 people to break through 2350 01:22:19,910 --> 01:22:18,239 and i think that he thinks that i might 2351 01:22:21,830 --> 01:22:19,920 not be giving enough attention to the 2352 01:22:24,310 --> 01:22:21,840 fact that these guys can be deceptive 2353 01:22:26,310 --> 01:22:24,320 and dishonest too 2354 01:22:29,430 --> 01:22:26,320 he's probably right i think we all make 2355 01:22:31,510 --> 01:22:29,440 mistakes but we do what we can right 2356 01:22:33,910 --> 01:22:31,520 i'm actually recording an episode with 2357 01:22:35,350 --> 01:22:33,920 george wiseman very soon about brown's 2358 01:22:37,350 --> 01:22:35,360 gas that i think 2359 01:22:38,709 --> 01:22:37,360 is a great illustration of the point i 2360 01:22:40,470 --> 01:22:38,719 was making to him that 2361 01:22:42,870 --> 01:22:40,480 some scientific discoveries and 2362 01:22:44,870 --> 01:22:42,880 technologies are simply off limits in 2363 01:22:46,870 --> 01:22:44,880 the western capitalist corporate 2364 01:22:49,270 --> 01:22:46,880 dominated system 2365 01:22:51,669 --> 01:22:49,280 there are some technological and 2366 01:22:54,550 --> 01:22:51,679 scientific roads you cannot go down 2367 01:22:55,910 --> 01:22:54,560 venture capital be damned but i still 2368 01:22:57,669 --> 01:22:55,920 think it's a lot of fun to talk about 2369 01:23:01,189 --> 01:22:57,679 and to put a finer point on the 2370 01:23:03,350 --> 01:23:01,199 plus portion topics we discussed lessons 2371 01:23:05,669 --> 01:23:03,360 from being in recovery 2372 01:23:06,870 --> 01:23:05,679 dr tom zinzer and his work with the 2373 01:23:09,910 --> 01:23:06,880 spiritual entity 2374 01:23:10,470 --> 01:23:09,920 jared plus people who heard that little 2375 01:23:13,270 --> 01:23:10,480 section 2376 01:23:15,110 --> 01:23:13,280 will be probably pretty excited to know 2377 01:23:18,310 --> 01:23:15,120 that dr tom zinzer 2378 01:23:21,030 --> 01:23:18,320 is on the books for thc 2379 01:23:22,709 --> 01:23:21,040 we also talked ted bundy and the state 2380 01:23:25,430 --> 01:23:22,719 of our counterculture 2381 01:23:27,510 --> 01:23:25,440 alex's thoughts on the range of voices 2382 01:23:29,990 --> 01:23:27,520 talking about covet as i said 2383 01:23:31,590 --> 01:23:30,000 dr mary's monkey and the story of alton 2384 01:23:34,390 --> 01:23:31,600 ochsner 2385 01:23:35,510 --> 01:23:34,400 and alex also had some harsh words for 2386 01:23:39,270 --> 01:23:35,520 nasim haraming 2387 01:23:40,790 --> 01:23:39,280 and i'll leave it at that a lot to like

them on things that 2394 01:23:55,590 --> 01:23:52,960 are propping up the evil in our system 2395 01:23:58,550 --> 01:23:55,600 i got a lot of great feedback from my 2396 01:24:00,470 -->

judgment on that 2405 01:24:19,030 --> 01:24:16,719 process as you should 2406 01:24:20,709 --> 01:24:19,040 then maybe thc plus isn't where you 2407 01:24:23,750 --> 01:24:20,719 should draw the line
