00:02:01,670 --> 00:01:59,820 and frequently also connected to 35 00:02:05,569 --> 00:02:01,680 discussions around occultism and 36 00:02:08,089 --> 00:02:05,579 Consciousness so setting the stage

guys how are 49 00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:48,360 things pretty good about the events of 50 00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:49,440 the last week 51 00:02:54,770 --> 00:02:52,080 well let's uh can one of you provide a 52 00:02:56,690 --> 00:02:54,780 synopsis of uh exactly uh what that 53 00:02:58,970 --> 00:02:56,700 circumstance is 54 00:03:01,430 --> 00:02:58,980 um now I didn't follow this too closely 55 00:03:04,250 --> 00:03:01,440 I know that um Christopher melon was at 56 00:03:08,390 --> 00:03:04,260 that con recently right yes yes okay uh 57 00:03:10,070 --> 00:03:08,400 during a photo uh uh this young lady uh 58 00:03:12,229 --> 00:03:10,080 took a picture with him and reposted it 59 00:03:14,809 --> 00:03:12,239 and turned out to be 60 00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:14,819 I don't know exactly how you describe 61 00:03:21,250 --> 00:03:17,760 her kind of a uh kind of a nazia cultist 62 00:03:26,809 --> 00:03:24,050 the real issue isn't that she took this 63 00:03:28,910 --> 00:03:26,819 picture with Chris melon it's that she 64 00:03:30,830 --> 00:03:28,920 was featured I believe on a panel or as 65 00:03:32,869 --> 00:03:30,840 a speaker at this conference right oh 66 00:03:34,430 --> 00:03:32,879 like like yeah like the picture with 67 00:03:36,530 --> 00:03:34,440 Chris melon is incidental right like 68 00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:36,540 like I think realistically speaking it's 69 00:03:40,490 --> 00:03:38,640 not reasonable to expect Chris melon to 70 00:03:43,369 --> 00:03:40,500 have a comprehensive background check on 71 00:03:46,130 --> 00:03:43,379 everyone who takes his picture at a con 72 00:03:48,350 --> 00:03:46,140 um but yeah probably not but yeah the 73 00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:48,360 real issue is that she was like on a 74 00:03:52,670 --> 00:03:50,400 panel uh it may have even done a speaker 75 00:03:55,550 --> 00:03:52,680 at this conference and she claims that 76 00:03:58,430 --> 00:03:55,560 she is a reincarnated SS General 77 00:04:02,210 --> 00:03:58,440 oh God she had done she self-identifies 78 00:04:05,210 --> 00:04:02,220 as a real Dame so someone who works with 79 00:04:07,789 --> 00:04:05,220 real uh which is big in the Nazi 80 00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:07,799 occultist and Thule Society stuff and 81 00:04:11,210 --> 00:04:09,120 what is that 82 00:04:12,949 --> 00:04:11,220 so it's originally from the science 83 00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:12,959 fiction novel I think the novel is just 84 00:04:17,150 --> 00:04:15,360 called real and the science fiction 85 00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:17,160 novel itself is pretty innocuous it's 86 00:04:21,409 --> 00:04:19,680 from like it's big like H.G Wells Jules 87 00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:21,419 Verne style stuff it's about the 88 00:04:27,110 --> 00:04:23,280 Subterranean race of people that are 89 00:04:28,730 --> 00:04:27,120 discovered and they use vril which is 90 00:04:30,469 --> 00:04:28,740 similar it reminds me of if anyone's 91 00:04:32,030 --> 00:04:30,479 read eubic by Philip Kate dick it 92 00:04:33,890 --> 00:04:32,040 reminds me of eubic where it's this sort 93 00:04:35,570 --> 00:04:33,900 of universal energy or life force that 94 00:04:37,310 --> 00:04:35,580 they cultivate 95 00:04:39,770 --> 00:04:37,320 um but it was subsequently basically 96 00:04:43,310 --> 00:04:39,780 this concept of real was subsequently 97 00:04:46,010 --> 00:04:43,320 appropriated by nazia cultist movements 98 00:04:47,749 --> 00:04:46,020 um and part of the Thule Society uh 99 00:04:51,530 --> 00:04:47,759 during World War II and during the rise 100 00:04:54,290 --> 00:04:51,540 of Nazism so vril has very much been 101 00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:54,300 appropriated into this subject or into 102 00:04:59,629 --> 00:04:57,120 the space without in and of itself it 103 00:05:03,230 --> 00:04:59,639 being you know Nazi sympathizing it was 104 00:05:04,810 --> 00:05:03,240 well before that also it looks like uh 105 00:05:07,790 --> 00:05:04,820 well 106 00:05:09,290 --> 00:05:07,800 one sec I'm going I'm back and forth 107 00:05:10,610 --> 00:05:09,300 right now with Lewis on Discord to get 108 00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:10,620 him in here 109 00:05:15,110 --> 00:05:12,320 um yeah 110 00:05:16,909 --> 00:05:15,120 to this stream a lot of pictures ended 111 00:05:18,469 --> 00:05:16,919 up getting posted with her wearing kind 112 00:05:22,129 --> 00:05:18,479 of like Nazi paraphernalia like the 113 00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:22,139 black Sun Insignia uh as well as that 114 00:05:27,890 --> 00:05:25,680 kind of real logo yeah the frill logo 115 00:05:30,350 --> 00:05:27,900 for something that is from a innocuous 116 00:05:33,050 --> 00:05:30,360 science fiction novel uh they managed to 117 00:05:34,850 --> 00:05:33,060 make the frill V look about as Nazi 118 00:05:35,870 --> 00:05:34,860 sympathetic as possible it looks like 119 00:05:38,450 --> 00:05:35,880 it's something straight out of Castle 120 00:05:40,189 --> 00:05:38,460 Wolfenstein 121 00:05:42,050 --> 00:05:40,199 and then people also turned up like a 122 00:05:43,610 --> 00:05:42,060 few alt accounts of hers 123 00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:43,620 um you know and of course like there's 124 00:05:47,150 --> 00:05:45,120 also plenty of interviews where she's 125 00:05:48,830 --> 00:05:47,160 saying things like well look uh the 126 00:05:51,370 --> 00:05:48,840 Pleiadians were on the sides of the good 127 00:05:58,490 --> 00:05:55,670 yes like Oscar Schindler yes yeah it's 128 00:06:00,230 --> 00:05:58,500 an alien backup yeah exactly so 129 00:06:02,749 --> 00:06:00,240 so you know as 130 00:06:04,670 --> 00:06:02,759 do the sort of process of social media 131 00:06:05,990 --> 00:06:04,680 muckraking has turned up increasingly 132 00:06:08,029 --> 00:06:06,000 damning evidence 133 00:06:10,550 --> 00:06:08,039 um is the corollary from the 134 00:06:13,249 --> 00:06:10,560 somethingawful.com dead internet comedy 135 00:06:17,210 --> 00:06:13,259 forums goes there is always more and it 136 00:06:19,550 --> 00:06:17,220 is always worse and uh never has it been 137 00:06:21,710 --> 00:06:19,560 more true than in uh sort of delving and 138 00:06:23,809 --> 00:06:21,720 plumbing the depths of Marina sarin and 139 00:06:25,309 --> 00:06:23,819 toward Nazi inclinations 140 00:06:27,170 --> 00:06:25,319 um so I think the the latest breaking 141 00:06:28,610 --> 00:06:27,180 news uh look Steve cambian did a three 142 00:06:30,590 --> 00:06:28,620 and a half hour show on her the other 143 00:06:32,210 --> 00:06:30,600 night she was supposed to show up and be 144 00:06:34,850 --> 00:06:32,220 a guest she blew up the interview 145 00:06:36,529 --> 00:06:34,860 originally she was refused to use stream 146 00:06:40,010 --> 00:06:36,539 yard because she found it too difficult 147 00:06:41,930 --> 00:06:40,020 which um I don't want to uh light any 148 00:06:43,790 --> 00:06:41,940 intellect on this show but I cannot 149 00:06:46,189 --> 00:06:43,800 conceivably imagine a technological 150 00:06:49,189 --> 00:06:46,199 capability less difficult than joining a 151 00:06:50,629 --> 00:06:49,199 stream yard stream no well I just said I 152 00:06:52,610 --> 00:06:50,639 just had problems with that 153 00:06:55,129 --> 00:06:52,620 hello 154 00:06:58,550 --> 00:06:55,139 you are here now the Blackstone was 155 00:07:03,770 --> 00:07:00,070 almost certain 156 00:07:06,710 --> 00:07:03,780 but Louise yeah you can uh fill us in on 157 00:07:09,590 --> 00:07:06,720 the background like why is this Nazism 158 00:07:11,390 --> 00:07:09,600 such a prevalent aspect of UFO culture 159 00:07:13,969 --> 00:07:11,400 historically and uh you know what 160 00:07:17,510 --> 00:07:13,979 significance does it have today 161 00:07:20,089 --> 00:07:17,520 well after World War II 162 00:07:22,249 --> 00:07:20,099 um there were a bunch of um stories and 163 00:07:25,909 --> 00:07:22,259 novels and stuff going around 164 00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:25,919 about Nazi Revival and part of it was 165 00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:28,080 just people were fascinated by 166 00:07:33,409 --> 00:07:30,720 what the hell happened right this sort 167 00:07:37,249 --> 00:07:35,510 Pagan monstrosity 168 00:07:39,770 --> 00:07:37,259 um in Christendom 169 00:07:41,930 --> 00:07:39,780 um you know and uh caused millions of 170 00:07:43,850 --> 00:07:41,940 deaths and all that the the Holocaust 171 00:07:45,469 --> 00:07:43,860 people were sort of trying to get their 172 00:07:47,270 --> 00:07:45,479 heads around that and but there was a 173 00:07:49,850 --> 00:07:47,280 kind of fascination with Nazism as well 174 00:07:53,029 --> 00:07:49,860 that it was something beyond the normal 175 00:07:54,830 --> 00:07:53,039 human experience and um 176 00:07:58,370 --> 00:07:54,840 so a lot of that sort of got tied in 177 00:08:00,290 --> 00:07:58,380 with um esotericism and um paranormalism 178 00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:00,300 you know what 179 00:08:05,809 --> 00:08:03,259 the the story by um 180 00:08:07,850 --> 00:08:05,819 bergier and Paul's 181 00:08:09,710 --> 00:08:07,860 um is that their names uh Knight of The 182 00:08:13,850 --> 00:08:09,720 Magicians 183 00:08:16,309 --> 00:08:13,860 that's like one of the first big popular 184 00:08:18,110 --> 00:08:16,319 occult books from the 60s right and I 185 00:08:19,969 --> 00:08:18,120 made a lot of references to Nazis and 186 00:08:21,710 --> 00:08:19,979 that Hitler was like in communion with 187 00:08:25,330 --> 00:08:21,720 these dark Forces and stuff like that 188 00:08:27,589 --> 00:08:25,340 but then like outright Neo-Nazi um 189 00:08:30,950 --> 00:08:27,599 proponents were also trying to co-opt 190 00:08:32,630 --> 00:08:30,960 the Paranormal stuff as well for 191 00:08:35,329 --> 00:08:32,640 themselves to sort of make it more 192 00:08:36,110 --> 00:08:35,339 interesting for people and also to kind 193 00:08:37,370 --> 00:08:36,120 of 194 00:08:39,290 --> 00:08:37,380 yeah 195 00:08:41,870 --> 00:08:39,300 that stuff was kind of already part of 196 00:08:44,389 --> 00:08:41,880 Nazism to an extent so 197 00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:44,399 it's been somewhat exaggerated but there 198 00:08:50,930 --> 00:08:47,040 was a kind of esoteric component in 199 00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:50,940 autism and um so it was easy for that 200 00:08:55,430 --> 00:08:53,040 stuff to sort of get resuscitated in 201 00:08:57,650 --> 00:08:55,440 stories and fiction especially to do 202 00:09:00,290 --> 00:08:57,660 with Antarctic underground bases and 203 00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:00,300 UFOs and all that stuff especially after 204 00:09:06,829 --> 00:09:03,360 Kenneth Arnold's you know 1947 sighting 205 00:09:10,130 --> 00:09:06,839 and into the contact he period where you 206 00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:10,140 had these Nordic blonde aliens right 207 00:09:15,670 --> 00:09:11,040 um 208 00:09:17,870 --> 00:09:15,680 you know interestingly one of uh 209 00:09:19,130 --> 00:09:17,880 adamsky's Associates George hunt 210 00:09:21,170 --> 00:09:19,140 Williamson 211 00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:21,180 um was himself had briefly been a member 212 00:09:26,990 --> 00:09:23,760 of the silver shirts uh which was a 213 00:09:29,990 --> 00:09:27,000 Neo-Nazi outfit in the United States and 214 00:09:34,250 --> 00:09:30,000 the leader of that um outfit um William 215 00:09:35,030 --> 00:09:34,260 Pelley was a obviously a Neo-Nazi and he 216 00:09:37,730 --> 00:09:35,040 um 217 00:09:39,650 --> 00:09:37,740 talked about soulcraft and that the oh 218 00:09:42,110 --> 00:09:39,660 yeah the white race was going to be um 219 00:09:45,050 --> 00:09:42,120 you know sent to heaven or to space by 220 00:09:47,389 --> 00:09:45,060 these aliens so um it was that stuff was 221 00:09:50,570 --> 00:09:47,399 kind of already in the UFO scene to an 222 00:09:51,550 --> 00:09:50,580 extent but it wasn't really until I 223 00:09:55,310 --> 00:09:51,560 guess the 224 00:09:57,410 --> 00:09:55,320 1980s or 90s that neo-nazis and the far 225 00:09:59,870 --> 00:09:57,420 right in Europe and the US they really 226 00:10:01,970 --> 00:09:59,880 started pushing with it and you might 227 00:10:03,230 --> 00:10:01,980 know about somebody called Van Helsing 228 00:10:05,990 --> 00:10:03,240 in Europe 229 00:10:08,210 --> 00:10:06,000 yeah he named himself after the vampire 230 00:10:09,829 --> 00:10:08,220 okay I know the characters right I was 231 00:10:13,190 --> 00:10:09,839 going to say like the guy from Dracula 232 00:10:16,910 --> 00:10:14,870 um but he um I think there's an anime 233 00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:16,920 called Van Helsing too I want to make 234 00:10:22,030 --> 00:10:19,920 sure he speaks to the audience 235 00:10:25,250 --> 00:10:22,040 hi weebs 236 00:10:28,130 --> 00:10:25,260 they kind of took that stuff and also um 237 00:10:30,710 --> 00:10:28,140 earns zundel the famous Holocaust denial 238 00:10:32,570 --> 00:10:30,720 he actually wrote a book about uh Hitler 239 00:10:34,430 --> 00:10:32,580 and flying sources and he didn't believe 240 00:10:35,870 --> 00:10:34,440 a word of it he basically said to 241 00:10:37,850 --> 00:10:35,880 himself 242 00:10:40,070 --> 00:10:37,860 um but he was just trying to sort of 243 00:10:42,650 --> 00:10:40,080 draw young people into the 244 00:10:45,170 --> 00:10:42,660 uh make them interested in what he was 245 00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:45,180 saying about the Holocaust because 246 00:10:50,090 --> 00:10:48,000 if you can say that history has been a 247 00:10:51,590 --> 00:10:50,100 complete Lie by the liberal 248 00:10:53,269 --> 00:10:51,600 establishment then what else are they 249 00:10:54,949 --> 00:10:53,279 lying about so maybe if they're lying 250 00:10:56,509 --> 00:10:54,959 about UFOs and they're also lying about 251 00:10:58,610 --> 00:10:56,519 the Holocaust 252 00:11:01,250 --> 00:10:58,620 right so that's sort of places where it 253 00:11:04,069 --> 00:11:01,260 goes as a conduit for all that crap this 254 00:11:06,650 --> 00:11:04,079 is a tactic we see now too with the alt 255 00:11:08,810 --> 00:11:06,660 right and with uh the sort of 256 00:11:11,630 --> 00:11:08,820 authoritarian and totalitarian movements 257 00:11:14,030 --> 00:11:11,640 uh partly that they attempt to seduce 258 00:11:16,130 --> 00:11:14,040 and bring in basically primarily younger 259 00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:16,140 male new members with Promises of 260 00:11:20,449 --> 00:11:18,000 unveiling like technological Secrets 261 00:11:22,190 --> 00:11:20,459 right because let's be real like Nazis 262 00:11:24,050 --> 00:11:22,200 are terrible but they're also super 263 00:11:26,449 --> 00:11:24,060 titillating like they get lots of 264 00:11:28,569 --> 00:11:26,459 attention if they're in media like they 265 00:11:31,550 --> 00:11:28,579 get you know they they're sort of this 266 00:11:32,870 --> 00:11:31,560 taboo uh interest in them culturally and 267 00:11:33,590 --> 00:11:32,880 socially 268 00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:33,600 um 269 00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:36,240 so they they're good uh little like the 270 00:11:41,389 --> 00:11:38,880 secret space program and UFOs are great 271 00:11:43,430 --> 00:11:41,399 little recruitment tools and then also 272 00:11:45,769 --> 00:11:43,440 um as we've talked about the subject is 273 00:11:48,650 --> 00:11:45,779 a fantastic basically gateway drug to 274 00:11:51,470 --> 00:11:48,660 unwinding consensus reality which is 275 00:11:54,230 --> 00:11:51,480 very much kind of the first order of 276 00:11:57,110 --> 00:11:54,240 business when it comes to the uh right 277 00:11:59,030 --> 00:11:57,120 wing and alt-right movement right now 278 00:12:00,710 --> 00:11:59,040 the Paranormal is like a really good 279 00:12:02,509 --> 00:12:00,720 vehicle for getting your message across 280 00:12:04,610 --> 00:12:02,519 to people because you can offer it as 281 00:12:06,650 --> 00:12:04,620 since it's magic essentially you can 282 00:12:08,650 --> 00:12:06,660 offer it as a kind of an ailment to 283 00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:08,660 anything you're looking for 284 00:12:16,329 --> 00:12:11,040 Independence or things like that you 285 00:12:21,170 --> 00:12:19,370 yeah it does yeah exactly it doesn't 286 00:12:22,910 --> 00:12:21,180 have to be beholden to the standards the 287 00:12:25,130 --> 00:12:22,920 typical standards of scientific evidence 288 00:12:27,470 --> 00:12:25,140 or analysis or interrogation 289 00:12:29,210 --> 00:12:27,480 um anyway Lewis sorry I interrupted you 290 00:12:31,009 --> 00:12:29,220 that has to be understood on an 291 00:12:33,889 --> 00:12:31,019 intuitive level 292 00:12:37,310 --> 00:12:33,899 um so if you are familiar with the works 293 00:12:40,069 --> 00:12:37,320 of Miguel Serrano or Julius Avila these 294 00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:40,079 were two oh yeah yeah I I know I know 295 00:12:45,829 --> 00:12:42,720 Julia savola yeah ride the tiger 296 00:12:47,150 --> 00:12:45,839 um the man among the ruins 297 00:12:53,629 --> 00:12:47,160 yeah 298 00:12:55,250 --> 00:12:53,639 Neo-Nazi um esoteric hitlerist he wrote 299 00:12:58,009 --> 00:12:55,260 a bunch of books about 300 00:13:00,050 --> 00:12:58,019 um he tied it into UFOs he even said 301 00:13:01,970 --> 00:13:00,060 that you could become a UFO that you 302 00:13:04,250 --> 00:13:01,980 could through a power the sheer power of 303 00:13:05,449 --> 00:13:04,260 will you could actually become like a 304 00:13:07,610 --> 00:13:05,459 vermana 305 00:13:09,230 --> 00:13:07,620 and you could um travel to the inner 306 00:13:12,050 --> 00:13:09,240 earth and to the black Sun 307 00:13:13,790 --> 00:13:12,060 it was very similar to the end of 2001 A 308 00:13:16,490 --> 00:13:13,800 Space Odyssey isn't it because he 309 00:13:17,870 --> 00:13:16,500 becomes an energy being yeah yeah that's 310 00:13:20,889 --> 00:13:17,880 a good point actually from the alien 311 00:13:24,590 --> 00:13:20,899 turned me into a monolith yeah 312 00:13:28,910 --> 00:13:24,600 you get to leave uh UFO samsara and 313 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,350 yeah well yes 314 00:13:37,490 --> 00:13:35,449 no sorry go on so 315 00:13:40,069 --> 00:13:37,500 um I was gonna ask can you tell us a 316 00:13:42,949 --> 00:13:40,079 little bit about the black Sun 317 00:13:44,930 --> 00:13:42,959 oh the black sun is this very old idea 318 00:13:47,629 --> 00:13:44,940 so it goes back centuries or if not 319 00:13:49,370 --> 00:13:47,639 Millennia they've been always like um 320 00:13:52,610 --> 00:13:49,380 from different cultures ideas about 321 00:13:55,550 --> 00:13:52,620 emanating forces and mysterious objects 322 00:13:58,490 --> 00:13:55,560 in the sky and um but it was the Nazis 323 00:14:01,430 --> 00:13:58,500 that kind of um or some Nazis who took 324 00:14:04,129 --> 00:14:01,440 the idea of this emanating cosmic energy 325 00:14:07,370 --> 00:14:04,139 field or body which was like calling out 326 00:14:09,710 --> 00:14:07,380 to the Aryan race and um this really 327 00:14:11,690 --> 00:14:09,720 became a big thing after World War II 328 00:14:13,490 --> 00:14:11,700 like the black sun is sort of like a dog 329 00:14:15,769 --> 00:14:13,500 whistle as well because you can use it 330 00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:15,779 instead of the swastika in fact in 331 00:14:18,889 --> 00:14:17,040 Germany 332 00:14:20,269 --> 00:14:18,899 um where you can't display the swastika 333 00:14:22,009 --> 00:14:20,279 legally 334 00:14:23,750 --> 00:14:22,019 um you can you still use the black sun 335 00:14:25,370 --> 00:14:23,760 and that's sort of like uh you know 336 00:14:27,290 --> 00:14:25,380 everyone knows what that means 337 00:14:29,150 --> 00:14:27,300 um but you know you could always right 338 00:14:33,290 --> 00:14:29,160 use it as like a plausible deniability 339 00:14:34,790 --> 00:14:33,300 thing but basically the black Sun um 340 00:14:36,829 --> 00:14:34,800 and it's used a little bit differently 341 00:14:40,730 --> 00:14:36,839 between Neo-Nazi 342 00:14:41,990 --> 00:14:40,740 um writers but um it's basically meant 343 00:14:44,329 --> 00:14:42,000 to be this 344 00:14:46,670 --> 00:14:44,339 Cosmic body or sometimes it's inside the 345 00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:46,680 earth I think Miguel Serrano talks about 346 00:14:52,250 --> 00:14:49,440 it being like in the hollow Earth but um 347 00:14:56,150 --> 00:14:52,260 this sort of energetic thing which is 348 00:14:58,610 --> 00:14:56,160 sending out like spiritual energy to uh 349 00:15:00,530 --> 00:14:58,620 the white race and they can 350 00:15:02,810 --> 00:15:00,540 if you know you understand the writings 351 00:15:04,670 --> 00:15:02,820 of serrano on an intuitive level then 352 00:15:09,050 --> 00:15:04,680 you're getting what he's trying to say 353 00:15:10,970 --> 00:15:09,060 and you're in tune with the black Sun 354 00:15:13,850 --> 00:15:10,980 so it's it's I wouldn't say that it's 355 00:15:15,350 --> 00:15:13,860 not really a god as such because Nazism 356 00:15:16,430 --> 00:15:15,360 is a little bit weird when it comes to 357 00:15:19,550 --> 00:15:16,440 religion 358 00:15:21,110 --> 00:15:19,560 um it's got some Pagan inclinations it 359 00:15:23,090 --> 00:15:21,120 also talks about like the universe 360 00:15:26,210 --> 00:15:23,100 itself maybe being having a 361 00:15:28,610 --> 00:15:26,220 Consciousness and um Hitler himself sort 362 00:15:31,730 --> 00:15:28,620 of made allusions to that but it's a 363 00:15:33,769 --> 00:15:31,740 little bit unclear exactly 364 00:15:35,449 --> 00:15:33,779 I would say there's no overarching 365 00:15:37,970 --> 00:15:35,459 theological 366 00:15:40,310 --> 00:15:37,980 conception in Nazism it's like different 367 00:15:42,110 --> 00:15:40,320 people have different ideas but the 368 00:15:46,490 --> 00:15:42,120 black sun is a kind of 369 00:15:48,650 --> 00:15:46,500 um a symbol which is now used a lot by 370 00:15:51,230 --> 00:15:48,660 them because it's sort of I guess also 371 00:15:52,970 --> 00:15:51,240 the circular image is um a big thing as 372 00:15:55,490 --> 00:15:52,980 well like you know what Jung talked 373 00:15:58,129 --> 00:15:55,500 about the circle is like a unifying 374 00:16:00,290 --> 00:15:58,139 symbol yeah and so it's like a mandala 375 00:16:04,370 --> 00:16:00,300 yeah mandala 376 00:16:06,949 --> 00:16:04,380 which is ironic because the the yeah and 377 00:16:11,110 --> 00:16:06,959 the swastika as well as a Brooke is 378 00:16:14,090 --> 00:16:11,120 saying um it was an ancient symbol 379 00:16:15,769 --> 00:16:14,100 you see the swastika across a number of 380 00:16:17,569 --> 00:16:15,779 different cultures Hindu cultures Native 381 00:16:19,670 --> 00:16:17,579 American cultures 382 00:16:21,170 --> 00:16:19,680 um it's generally I think considered a 383 00:16:22,970 --> 00:16:21,180 mystical symbol frequently of death and 384 00:16:26,210 --> 00:16:22,980 rebirth right the cosmic dance or the 385 00:16:28,910 --> 00:16:26,220 Divine cycle yeah totally provided by 386 00:16:32,569 --> 00:16:28,920 the Nazis yeah the other thing is the 387 00:16:34,850 --> 00:16:32,579 cycle idea the the Nazis 388 00:16:39,170 --> 00:16:34,860 um and especially if you read um savitri 389 00:16:41,329 --> 00:16:39,180 Devi's work she was a hinzu nationalist 390 00:16:43,610 --> 00:16:41,339 um you know adherent of Hitler and the 391 00:16:44,930 --> 00:16:43,620 axis collaborator in when she was living 392 00:16:46,430 --> 00:16:44,940 in India 393 00:16:49,550 --> 00:16:46,440 um 394 00:16:51,650 --> 00:16:49,560 the they're very big on the idea of 395 00:16:53,990 --> 00:16:51,660 cycles that you go into the Kali Yugo 396 00:16:56,569 --> 00:16:54,000 which is like the the dead you know the 397 00:16:58,730 --> 00:16:56,579 current corrupt age and then it's going 398 00:17:01,550 --> 00:16:58,740 to be replaced by the Satya Yuga or the 399 00:17:03,290 --> 00:17:01,560 Golden Age and they're very you know 400 00:17:05,689 --> 00:17:03,300 they believe in that stuff very very 401 00:17:08,030 --> 00:17:05,699 strongly that there is no inherent 402 00:17:10,610 --> 00:17:08,040 progress or linear progress in society 403 00:17:12,710 --> 00:17:10,620 that that's a Jewish idea and that it's 404 00:17:16,309 --> 00:17:12,720 actually like this eternal cycle of 405 00:17:19,130 --> 00:17:16,319 corruption and then renewal this um this 406 00:17:21,530 --> 00:17:19,140 was also a core idea of Oswald spanglers 407 00:17:23,630 --> 00:17:21,540 the decline of the West which was very 408 00:17:25,909 --> 00:17:23,640 much influential I believe on National 409 00:17:28,370 --> 00:17:25,919 socialists thought Oswald Spangler 410 00:17:29,750 --> 00:17:28,380 basically wrote uh and I think the 411 00:17:32,750 --> 00:17:29,760 decline of the West came out in like 412 00:17:34,850 --> 00:17:32,760 maybe like around 1908 1912 something 413 00:17:37,310 --> 00:17:34,860 like that it's very long 414 00:17:39,710 --> 00:17:37,320 um he's a historiographer and his core 415 00:17:42,470 --> 00:17:39,720 idea was that civilizations go through 416 00:17:44,029 --> 00:17:42,480 these cyclical rise and then Decay and 417 00:17:47,630 --> 00:17:44,039 collapse 418 00:17:49,850 --> 00:17:47,640 um and this uh obviously also added some 419 00:17:52,130 --> 00:17:49,860 I would say Western European legitimacy 420 00:17:54,710 --> 00:17:52,140 to the notion of the yugas or this sort 421 00:17:56,350 --> 00:17:54,720 of cyclical process which you know they 422 00:17:58,669 --> 00:17:56,360 obviously bird very heavily from 423 00:18:03,470 --> 00:17:58,679 fedantic and Hindu thought 424 00:18:05,150 --> 00:18:03,480 mm-hmm actually didn't um also Joe Rogan 425 00:18:07,130 --> 00:18:05,160 um I'm not calling I'm not calling him a 426 00:18:08,630 --> 00:18:07,140 Nazi but he was um repeating one of 427 00:18:12,010 --> 00:18:08,640 these tropes that's going around about 428 00:18:15,049 --> 00:18:12,020 how in Good Times strong men 429 00:18:17,390 --> 00:18:15,059 create abundance and then that leads to 430 00:18:20,750 --> 00:18:17,400 corruption and then that leads to bad 431 00:18:22,850 --> 00:18:20,760 times so yeah hard hard times create 432 00:18:24,950 --> 00:18:22,860 strong men strong men create good times 433 00:18:27,710 --> 00:18:24,960 good times create weak men and weak men 434 00:18:29,630 --> 00:18:27,720 create Hard Times yeah yeah this is look 435 00:18:31,070 --> 00:18:29,640 like there's Kali Yuga stuff even if 436 00:18:35,029 --> 00:18:31,080 you're not hearing it in this specific 437 00:18:36,650 --> 00:18:35,039 terminology very much is um a war cry of 438 00:18:38,750 --> 00:18:36,660 the sort of accelerationist movements 439 00:18:40,190 --> 00:18:38,760 that we see right now this notion that 440 00:18:42,409 --> 00:18:40,200 they're pushing towards this inevitable 441 00:18:44,450 --> 00:18:42,419 collapse in the case so that you know 442 00:18:45,890 --> 00:18:44,460 the old world can die in the new world 443 00:18:48,830 --> 00:18:45,900 can be born 444 00:18:49,510 --> 00:18:48,840 yes exactly well and there is this sort 445 00:18:52,010 --> 00:18:49,520 of 446 00:18:55,490 --> 00:18:52,020 pervasive sense in the UFO community 447 00:18:58,310 --> 00:18:55,500 that disclosure is imminent and doesn't 448 00:19:00,470 --> 00:18:58,320 that really resonate with this ancient 449 00:19:02,930 --> 00:19:00,480 tradition of thinking that we are always 450 00:19:05,710 --> 00:19:02,940 in the end times and what are the end 451 00:19:08,630 --> 00:19:05,720 times there the time brief period before 452 00:19:11,029 --> 00:19:08,640 the wonderful thing happens that we all 453 00:19:13,130 --> 00:19:11,039 want and then the world changes and we 454 00:19:14,990 --> 00:19:13,140 all have infinite clean energy and all 455 00:19:16,370 --> 00:19:15,000 this other stuff people are saying so 456 00:19:19,909 --> 00:19:16,380 it's like there's like almost like this 457 00:19:22,070 --> 00:19:19,919 like underlying human will to experience 458 00:19:23,990 --> 00:19:22,080 the reality in this way where it's like 459 00:19:26,510 --> 00:19:24,000 the best thing ever is just like around 460 00:19:27,830 --> 00:19:26,520 the corner and like I'm hearing that a 461 00:19:29,630 --> 00:19:27,840 lot in what you're saying that this is 462 00:19:32,270 --> 00:19:29,640 sort of like a continuation of many 463 00:19:35,090 --> 00:19:32,280 ancient themes like into a modern almost 464 00:19:37,430 --> 00:19:35,100 like scientific uh in quotes 465 00:19:39,890 --> 00:19:37,440 interpretive way right and 466 00:19:42,529 --> 00:19:39,900 technologically themed because as 467 00:19:46,390 --> 00:19:42,539 Brian's princesses said the UFO Mythos 468 00:19:49,370 --> 00:19:46,400 is um like a expression of the dominant 469 00:19:51,289 --> 00:19:49,380 ideology of the society the the advanced 470 00:19:52,730 --> 00:19:51,299 so-called Advanced societies which is 471 00:19:55,970 --> 00:19:52,740 that everything can be fixed with 472 00:19:58,669 --> 00:19:55,980 technology and so the UFO is a you know 473 00:20:01,010 --> 00:19:58,679 it's a technological thing and it's got 474 00:20:03,590 --> 00:20:01,020 free energy and all that and it's going 475 00:20:05,870 --> 00:20:03,600 to save us is that is the Hope but I'm 476 00:20:09,169 --> 00:20:05,880 gonna say also um you mentioned 477 00:20:12,590 --> 00:20:09,179 disclosure which that arguably has got 478 00:20:16,789 --> 00:20:12,600 more in common with Christian 479 00:20:20,330 --> 00:20:16,799 um eschatology eschatology then um uh 480 00:20:22,370 --> 00:20:20,340 Kali Yuga uh the Hindu cycle because a 481 00:20:24,230 --> 00:20:22,380 lot if you go back to the contactees a 482 00:20:26,029 --> 00:20:24,240 lot of the people were outright 483 00:20:27,350 --> 00:20:26,039 expressing the idea that they were 484 00:20:30,350 --> 00:20:27,360 really trying to get in touch with God 485 00:20:33,409 --> 00:20:30,360 like the Christian God and that um these 486 00:20:35,210 --> 00:20:33,419 nordics were like angels and that they 487 00:20:37,789 --> 00:20:35,220 were trying to connect us with this 488 00:20:39,770 --> 00:20:37,799 higher God which was like still the 489 00:20:42,409 --> 00:20:39,780 Christian God but just reconceptualized 490 00:20:44,630 --> 00:20:42,419 to fit in with like the UFO sightings 491 00:20:47,029 --> 00:20:44,640 that were taking place back then after 492 00:20:49,010 --> 00:20:47,039 you know Kenneth Arnold 493 00:20:50,230 --> 00:20:49,020 yeah it's working figures that will save 494 00:20:52,010 --> 00:20:50,240 us from whatever our current 495 00:20:55,010 --> 00:20:52,020 predicaments seem to be like 496 00:20:56,930 --> 00:20:55,020 environmentalism or nuclear war 497 00:20:58,730 --> 00:20:56,940 and I mean like the teleological 498 00:21:00,529 --> 00:20:58,740 worldview like this notion that we're 499 00:21:02,690 --> 00:21:00,539 all heading towards a particular 500 00:21:03,830 --> 00:21:02,700 destination or 501 00:21:06,409 --> 00:21:03,840 part 502 00:21:09,470 --> 00:21:06,419 um outcome is very much a function of 503 00:21:11,810 --> 00:21:09,480 like Western eschatological Christendom 504 00:21:13,850 --> 00:21:11,820 like it's such a Christian idea right 505 00:21:16,130 --> 00:21:13,860 and it underpins so much of how the 506 00:21:17,510 --> 00:21:16,140 Western world thinks about progress and 507 00:21:20,210 --> 00:21:17,520 movement 508 00:21:23,450 --> 00:21:20,220 um and it feels like you know I think 509 00:21:25,070 --> 00:21:23,460 that I'm sure hopefully we can get a 510 00:21:26,510 --> 00:21:25,080 little bit into this because I am a 511 00:21:28,669 --> 00:21:26,520 little bit over my skis talking about 512 00:21:31,250 --> 00:21:28,679 this right now but like I think about 513 00:21:33,470 --> 00:21:31,260 the Nazi and occultist appropriation of 514 00:21:34,970 --> 00:21:33,480 this from Hinduism 515 00:21:36,830 --> 00:21:34,980 um because it imparts this sort of 516 00:21:40,010 --> 00:21:36,840 strange orientalist View and also 517 00:21:41,750 --> 00:21:40,020 because of the idea that the Aryans came 518 00:21:43,070 --> 00:21:41,760 from India or from the Asian 519 00:21:45,470 --> 00:21:43,080 subcontinent 520 00:21:47,870 --> 00:21:45,480 um but also that it served as a way to 521 00:21:51,169 --> 00:21:47,880 disintermediate Christianity from this 522 00:21:53,750 --> 00:21:51,179 conversation because Christianity was 523 00:21:56,930 --> 00:21:53,760 very much uh at least in theory 524 00:21:59,210 --> 00:21:56,940 antithetical to the practices and 525 00:22:02,270 --> 00:21:59,220 politics of the Nazi party 526 00:22:07,549 --> 00:22:02,280 and there's also the vermonical aspect 527 00:22:10,669 --> 00:22:07,559 um uh vedicins sorry Vita Vedic Hinduism 528 00:22:12,950 --> 00:22:10,679 um has got the caste system and that was 529 00:22:17,330 --> 00:22:12,960 very appealing to some Nazis because 530 00:22:19,549 --> 00:22:17,340 they were they they admired how the um 531 00:22:21,770 --> 00:22:19,559 the brahmins were able to dominate the 532 00:22:23,930 --> 00:22:21,780 entire population of India despite being 533 00:22:26,210 --> 00:22:23,940 a tiny minority 534 00:22:29,210 --> 00:22:26,220 so it's like a racial hierarchy idea 535 00:22:31,549 --> 00:22:29,220 involved as well right and then the in 536 00:22:33,230 --> 00:22:31,559 the black Sun philosophy that you were 537 00:22:36,529 --> 00:22:33,240 describing if I understand correctly 538 00:22:39,169 --> 00:22:36,539 there is this sense that some people who 539 00:22:41,690 --> 00:22:39,179 are I mean in their pre you know having 540 00:22:45,350 --> 00:22:41,700 basically genetic origin from a certain 541 00:22:47,330 --> 00:22:45,360 place are more attuned if we interpret 542 00:22:50,870 --> 00:22:47,340 technologically or whatever like based 543 00:22:53,149 --> 00:22:50,880 on their internal physiology to pick up 544 00:22:56,450 --> 00:22:53,159 these messages from the underlying 545 00:22:59,390 --> 00:22:56,460 Universal energy field type thing and 546 00:23:01,549 --> 00:22:59,400 it's like that is actually like exactly 547 00:23:03,830 --> 00:23:01,559 what I've heard from so many people uh 548 00:23:05,390 --> 00:23:03,840 so interested in the UFO subject and 549 00:23:08,330 --> 00:23:05,400 that's yeah fascinating to hear you 550 00:23:10,730 --> 00:23:08,340 describe this yeah 551 00:23:11,870 --> 00:23:10,740 you're getting that plot line today just 552 00:23:13,789 --> 00:23:11,880 kind of in slightly different window 553 00:23:17,750 --> 00:23:13,799 dressing right 554 00:23:19,490 --> 00:23:17,760 with the star seeds and um even with the 555 00:23:23,049 --> 00:23:19,500 stuff that um 556 00:23:25,250 --> 00:23:23,059 Nolan talks about he's basically yeah 557 00:23:26,450 --> 00:23:25,260 you're more attuned if you have certain 558 00:23:27,470 --> 00:23:26,460 genes 559 00:23:30,490 --> 00:23:27,480 um to 560 00:23:33,409 --> 00:23:30,500 receiving the message of these um 561 00:23:35,990 --> 00:23:33,419 interdimensional or whatever beams 562 00:23:37,850 --> 00:23:36,000 I think Diana pasoka also 563 00:23:40,070 --> 00:23:37,860 makes allusions to that in her book 564 00:23:41,810 --> 00:23:40,080 American Cosmic she doesn't come out and 565 00:23:44,210 --> 00:23:41,820 say that that's true but like she does 566 00:23:47,090 --> 00:23:44,220 talk about some of that stuff and there 567 00:23:49,789 --> 00:23:47,100 it was at least conveyed to her by 568 00:23:52,010 --> 00:23:49,799 um her contacts uh who turned out to be 569 00:23:53,810 --> 00:23:52,020 that could have been Nolan himself right 570 00:23:58,750 --> 00:23:53,820 because he right so he might have been 571 00:24:05,570 --> 00:24:02,810 Tim Taylor not Travis Taylor Tim Taylor 572 00:24:07,070 --> 00:24:05,580 I know Tim the toolman Taylor 573 00:24:08,750 --> 00:24:07,080 um yeah and this is this is an 574 00:24:10,190 --> 00:24:08,760 interesting thing like pursuant to like 575 00:24:13,190 --> 00:24:10,200 what pasoka's written about what Gary 576 00:24:15,710 --> 00:24:13,200 Nolan has discussed Etc is this notion 577 00:24:17,990 --> 00:24:15,720 that uh in a way it comes down 578 00:24:20,090 --> 00:24:18,000 almost to nature versus nurture right 579 00:24:22,010 --> 00:24:20,100 like you hear from individuals like Gary 580 00:24:23,870 --> 00:24:22,020 Nolan who make this argument that there 581 00:24:25,430 --> 00:24:23,880 is some biological differentiator that 582 00:24:28,730 --> 00:24:25,440 enables individuals to have these 583 00:24:32,029 --> 00:24:28,740 experiences but um you know then there's 584 00:24:33,649 --> 00:24:32,039 this nurture notion that there are very 585 00:24:34,870 --> 00:24:33,659 particular 586 00:24:37,669 --> 00:24:34,880 um 587 00:24:39,890 --> 00:24:37,679 behaviors or rituals that individuals 588 00:24:41,690 --> 00:24:39,900 can undertake to encourage these 589 00:24:43,850 --> 00:24:41,700 behaviors 590 00:24:46,010 --> 00:24:43,860 um you know and I mean I think that like 591 00:24:48,169 --> 00:24:46,020 when we talk about kind of divine 592 00:24:49,430 --> 00:24:48,179 inspiration or the muses like these are 593 00:24:50,870 --> 00:24:49,440 things that we've seen throughout human 594 00:24:53,390 --> 00:24:50,880 history where people get creative 595 00:24:55,370 --> 00:24:53,400 inspiration like the um anyways think 596 00:24:56,810 --> 00:24:55,380 about the mathematician Romana John who 597 00:24:58,970 --> 00:24:56,820 said that the goddess was whispering 598 00:25:00,350 --> 00:24:58,980 mathematical formulas in his ear like 599 00:25:02,750 --> 00:25:00,360 you hear this over and over from 600 00:25:04,730 --> 00:25:02,760 creatives that you know they're sort of 601 00:25:06,590 --> 00:25:04,740 divinely inspired but this notion that 602 00:25:09,409 --> 00:25:06,600 there is some physiological or 603 00:25:11,990 --> 00:25:09,419 biological marker or indicator that 604 00:25:13,789 --> 00:25:12,000 creates a separate more preferred place 605 00:25:16,010 --> 00:25:13,799 in the cosmos for receiving this 606 00:25:18,409 --> 00:25:16,020 information like that's some like deep 607 00:25:20,990 --> 00:25:18,419 boo-woo starseed Nazi stuff let's be 608 00:25:23,750 --> 00:25:21,000 real well not to mention since these 609 00:25:27,230 --> 00:25:23,760 these experiences are yet unidentified 610 00:25:29,690 --> 00:25:27,240 how are we proposing mechanisms for what 611 00:25:31,190 --> 00:25:29,700 we don't know is happening you know what 612 00:25:32,450 --> 00:25:31,200 I mean like where's this idea coming 613 00:25:38,510 --> 00:25:32,460 from 614 00:25:41,029 --> 00:25:38,520 in the things that uh Luis wrote about 615 00:25:44,570 --> 00:25:41,039 well there's potentially a fascinating 616 00:25:48,049 --> 00:25:44,580 uh blending as well right because if Dr 617 00:25:51,649 --> 00:25:48,059 Nolan is actually doing uh you know good 618 00:25:52,870 --> 00:25:51,659 science and he's finding an association 619 00:25:54,830 --> 00:25:52,880 between 620 00:25:57,049 --> 00:25:54,840 self-reports of these kinds of 621 00:25:59,990 --> 00:25:57,059 experiences and then he looks at the 622 00:26:01,490 --> 00:26:00,000 MRIs and he finds a particular region of 623 00:26:03,769 --> 00:26:01,500 the brain that has certain alter 624 00:26:06,890 --> 00:26:03,779 differences that are consistent among 625 00:26:09,230 --> 00:26:06,900 that group that's an observation and 626 00:26:11,210 --> 00:26:09,240 then we go into the interpretation and 627 00:26:13,010 --> 00:26:11,220 it's like well either that all that 628 00:26:14,870 --> 00:26:13,020 difference in the brain enables you to 629 00:26:16,370 --> 00:26:14,880 channel this messages from the 630 00:26:18,890 --> 00:26:16,380 underlying Universal energy field or 631 00:26:21,590 --> 00:26:18,900 maybe that structure represents 632 00:26:23,990 --> 00:26:21,600 something in the brain that produces 633 00:26:27,110 --> 00:26:24,000 these as sort of some kind of internal 634 00:26:28,909 --> 00:26:27,120 physiological electrochemical thing and 635 00:26:30,769 --> 00:26:28,919 I don't think we don't we don't have the 636 00:26:32,750 --> 00:26:30,779 uh conclusive answers right now but it 637 00:26:35,990 --> 00:26:32,760 really does come down to the way that 638 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,990 Lewis um 639 00:26:43,130 --> 00:26:41,149 field reminds me of one of my favorite 640 00:26:44,930 --> 00:26:43,140 individuals from history madame 641 00:26:46,570 --> 00:26:44,940 blavatsky 642 00:26:50,390 --> 00:26:46,580 um can you talk to us a little bit about 643 00:26:53,029 --> 00:26:50,400 theosophy and uh the great madame 644 00:26:55,250 --> 00:26:53,039 well she was the the woman who really 645 00:26:57,890 --> 00:26:55,260 kind of brought mysticism back to the 646 00:27:01,490 --> 00:26:57,900 West which wouldn't you say you know in 647 00:27:02,930 --> 00:27:01,500 a big way and she resuscitated it and 648 00:27:05,330 --> 00:27:02,940 many of the things that we kind of take 649 00:27:07,970 --> 00:27:05,340 for granted today like yoga 650 00:27:09,950 --> 00:27:07,980 um other Eastern sort of quote-unquote 651 00:27:11,570 --> 00:27:09,960 Eastern type things 652 00:27:14,210 --> 00:27:11,580 um they're kind of thanks to her to a 653 00:27:15,890 --> 00:27:14,220 large extent right because of her 654 00:27:19,549 --> 00:27:15,900 influence at least 655 00:27:21,830 --> 00:27:19,559 and um well so her idea of theosophy she 656 00:27:24,830 --> 00:27:21,840 was the co-founder of theosophy 657 00:27:28,610 --> 00:27:24,840 and um she wrote huge tracts on that 658 00:27:30,649 --> 00:27:28,620 including the secret Doctrine in 1888 659 00:27:33,830 --> 00:27:30,659 um and on Isis unveiled which was 660 00:27:35,990 --> 00:27:33,840 written when was that 1879 I think 661 00:27:38,630 --> 00:27:36,000 um and these are very long and extremely 662 00:27:41,269 --> 00:27:38,640 Arcane so dense virtually unreadable 663 00:27:42,730 --> 00:27:41,279 like right right even even serious 664 00:27:45,350 --> 00:27:42,740 reading material 665 00:27:47,390 --> 00:27:45,360 when this kind of took place in regard 666 00:27:49,310 --> 00:27:47,400 to like the spiritualism movement that 667 00:27:51,830 --> 00:27:49,320 was happening in England around it kind 668 00:27:53,990 --> 00:27:51,840 of yeah around that time same as like 669 00:27:55,130 --> 00:27:54,000 Christian Science I think is emerging 670 00:27:57,110 --> 00:27:55,140 around this time we're talking about 671 00:27:58,870 --> 00:27:57,120 sort of the co-evolution of all these 672 00:28:02,269 --> 00:27:58,880 emergent like new religious things 673 00:28:04,430 --> 00:28:02,279 co-evolution because the evolution per 674 00:28:06,710 --> 00:28:04,440 se is uh important here as well because 675 00:28:09,110 --> 00:28:06,720 this is the time when dahlin came out 676 00:28:13,070 --> 00:28:09,120 with his theory of evolution by natural 677 00:28:14,690 --> 00:28:13,080 selection and um many people wanted to 678 00:28:16,370 --> 00:28:14,700 you couldn't 679 00:28:19,130 --> 00:28:16,380 um easily reconcile that with a 680 00:28:21,470 --> 00:28:19,140 traditional Christian notion so you had 681 00:28:24,289 --> 00:28:21,480 to kind of integrate that in in a 682 00:28:26,450 --> 00:28:24,299 different way so that's what bolivatsky 683 00:28:27,769 --> 00:28:26,460 tried to do she was very up to date on a 684 00:28:30,409 --> 00:28:27,779 lot of science at the time including 685 00:28:31,730 --> 00:28:30,419 evolutionary biology and she was trying 686 00:28:33,769 --> 00:28:31,740 to sort of incorporate that or 687 00:28:35,990 --> 00:28:33,779 assimilate that into her 688 00:28:38,210 --> 00:28:36,000 into her world view and that Evolution 689 00:28:40,190 --> 00:28:38,220 has got a kind of teleological this is 690 00:28:42,169 --> 00:28:40,200 actually against Darwin because Darwin 691 00:28:44,690 --> 00:28:42,179 denied that there was any teleological 692 00:28:47,269 --> 00:28:44,700 component to Evolution but she was 693 00:28:49,250 --> 00:28:47,279 trying to you know save that aspect of 694 00:28:51,710 --> 00:28:49,260 it and um 695 00:28:54,230 --> 00:28:51,720 and um say that those like these Cosmic 696 00:28:56,690 --> 00:28:54,240 cycles and these Cosmic evolutionary 697 00:28:58,549 --> 00:28:56,700 processes at the spiritual and then the 698 00:29:01,250 --> 00:28:58,559 material Level and 699 00:29:02,930 --> 00:29:01,260 you know societies have to um evolve and 700 00:29:04,850 --> 00:29:02,940 all that stuff so 701 00:29:06,830 --> 00:29:04,860 it was very much about assimilating lots 702 00:29:09,230 --> 00:29:06,840 of different ideas together 703 00:29:10,549 --> 00:29:09,240 to get this kind of unified field theory 704 00:29:14,210 --> 00:29:10,559 if you like 705 00:29:17,210 --> 00:29:14,220 um to try to understand everything and 706 00:29:19,730 --> 00:29:17,220 um she saw magic as a science in itself 707 00:29:21,590 --> 00:29:19,740 right so she she said that science uh 708 00:29:24,590 --> 00:29:21,600 Magic was just as much as science as 709 00:29:27,830 --> 00:29:24,600 chemistry or biology or anything like 710 00:29:30,409 --> 00:29:27,840 that and so um yeah very very 711 00:29:32,870 --> 00:29:30,419 interesting character I mean even if you 712 00:29:37,070 --> 00:29:32,880 you know the problematic aspects to her 713 00:29:38,810 --> 00:29:37,080 as well but um I think that she was in 714 00:29:41,149 --> 00:29:38,820 her own way an original thinker even if 715 00:29:42,230 --> 00:29:41,159 she did borrow a lot of ideas but the 716 00:29:44,930 --> 00:29:42,240 way that she just brought everything 717 00:29:47,810 --> 00:29:44,940 together I think was quite original 718 00:29:50,210 --> 00:29:47,820 it was interesting that uh she was kind 719 00:29:52,190 --> 00:29:50,220 of using like bleeding edge science as a 720 00:29:53,870 --> 00:29:52,200 medium to communicate these paranormal 721 00:29:56,269 --> 00:29:53,880 beliefs just like people are doing now 722 00:30:00,110 --> 00:29:56,279 with both Consciousness and uh quantum 723 00:30:02,389 --> 00:30:00,120 mechanics right so uh any of that like 724 00:30:04,909 --> 00:30:02,399 Leading Edge science which is also pop 725 00:30:07,130 --> 00:30:04,919 science right everybody reads pop 726 00:30:08,690 --> 00:30:07,140 magazines pop science about like uh dark 727 00:30:12,110 --> 00:30:08,700 matter and string theory and stuff like 728 00:30:13,850 --> 00:30:12,120 that without taking history courses you 729 00:30:15,830 --> 00:30:13,860 know leading up to that to understand it 730 00:30:19,130 --> 00:30:15,840 and I think that's kind of like 731 00:30:21,649 --> 00:30:19,140 the way that Medium works too you know 732 00:30:24,110 --> 00:30:21,659 because you have a uh I'm not a 733 00:30:26,330 --> 00:30:24,120 non-trained public who's 734 00:30:28,730 --> 00:30:26,340 vaguely aware of these like pop science 735 00:30:30,110 --> 00:30:28,740 Concepts like wormholes and gravity you 736 00:30:31,490 --> 00:30:30,120 know like uh 737 00:30:33,649 --> 00:30:31,500 Leading Edge science kind of like 738 00:30:36,710 --> 00:30:33,659 Evolution energy vibrations right 739 00:30:38,330 --> 00:30:36,720 exactly yeah you can kind of use that as 740 00:30:40,250 --> 00:30:38,340 a pipeline and it's interesting she was 741 00:30:42,350 --> 00:30:40,260 doing that back then too because I see 742 00:30:44,990 --> 00:30:42,360 the same thing now she was heavily 743 00:30:46,610 --> 00:30:45,000 invested in psychic stuff as well yeah I 744 00:30:48,110 --> 00:30:46,620 was gonna say this is this is like my 745 00:30:49,789 --> 00:30:48,120 pet theory about the reason for the 746 00:30:52,430 --> 00:30:49,799 emergence of like spiritualism and 747 00:30:55,010 --> 00:30:52,440 theosophy and Christian Science 748 00:30:57,590 --> 00:30:55,020 um was Co it was co-current with the 749 00:30:59,630 --> 00:30:57,600 arrival of unseen technological forces 750 00:31:02,149 --> 00:30:59,640 and popular life and popular imagination 751 00:31:05,029 --> 00:31:02,159 like once people started like using 752 00:31:07,730 --> 00:31:05,039 telegram or radio or electricity that 753 00:31:10,730 --> 00:31:07,740 like this then opened up the collective 754 00:31:12,889 --> 00:31:10,740 imagination to things like mediumship in 755 00:31:15,710 --> 00:31:12,899 theosophy and non-dual ways of thought 756 00:31:18,350 --> 00:31:15,720 uh and I and I think that those two like 757 00:31:20,810 --> 00:31:18,360 those things also kind of co-emerged uh 758 00:31:23,630 --> 00:31:20,820 and laid the framework for like why 759 00:31:25,789 --> 00:31:23,640 Madame blavatsky would be so uh I think 760 00:31:27,350 --> 00:31:25,799 well received I think to like it's 761 00:31:28,970 --> 00:31:27,360 interesting as well like I think you 762 00:31:31,310 --> 00:31:28,980 know like when she's coming around we 763 00:31:34,909 --> 00:31:31,320 just wrapped up um 764 00:31:37,850 --> 00:31:34,919 the Civil War uh we had this glut of 765 00:31:40,130 --> 00:31:37,860 widows and mothers and daughters who 766 00:31:43,190 --> 00:31:40,140 were missing men we have this woman 767 00:31:45,769 --> 00:31:43,200 Madame blavatsky and I think Henry Olson 768 00:31:48,049 --> 00:31:45,779 Scott was Henry Scott Olson that was 769 00:31:49,909 --> 00:31:48,059 like her uh male counterpart and 770 00:31:52,070 --> 00:31:49,919 founding theosophy if I recall correctly 771 00:31:54,110 --> 00:31:52,080 but like then we have this like woman 772 00:31:56,870 --> 00:31:54,120 coming in and providing some spiritual 773 00:31:58,310 --> 00:31:56,880 underpinning in a space where many women 774 00:31:59,870 --> 00:31:58,320 I would imagine were grappling for 775 00:32:01,250 --> 00:31:59,880 meaning and even now and I will admit 776 00:32:04,130 --> 00:32:01,260 I'm actually a member of the 777 00:32:06,169 --> 00:32:04,140 theosophical uh Society because I've 778 00:32:07,490 --> 00:32:06,179 taken some classes through them and if 779 00:32:09,230 --> 00:32:07,500 you're a member it's super cheap and you 780 00:32:11,269 --> 00:32:09,240 get like a huge discount on classes so I 781 00:32:13,250 --> 00:32:11,279 joined but like all the leadership is 782 00:32:15,950 --> 00:32:13,260 women it's like one of the very few sort 783 00:32:17,510 --> 00:32:15,960 of like women founded and women-led uh 784 00:32:19,190 --> 00:32:17,520 religions of the last couple hundred 785 00:32:22,250 --> 00:32:19,200 years alongside I guess Christian 786 00:32:24,769 --> 00:32:22,260 Science uh or like the Shakers 787 00:32:27,470 --> 00:32:24,779 um so I think it tends to also be very 788 00:32:29,210 --> 00:32:27,480 attractive to women regardless of the 789 00:32:31,730 --> 00:32:29,220 problematic elements of it just because 790 00:32:33,590 --> 00:32:31,740 it sort of brings this like feminine in 791 00:32:35,330 --> 00:32:33,600 touch to these subjects in a way that 792 00:32:37,269 --> 00:32:35,340 had previously been unexperienced or 793 00:32:40,970 --> 00:32:37,279 inexperienced 794 00:32:43,669 --> 00:32:40,980 well then it's uh I think it really does 795 00:32:46,190 --> 00:32:43,679 reflect like a changing world view and 796 00:32:48,649 --> 00:32:46,200 changing so rapidly in a way that maybe 797 00:32:50,690 --> 00:32:48,659 we can't even understand at this point 798 00:32:53,389 --> 00:32:50,700 in history like I struggle to imagine 799 00:32:56,210 --> 00:32:53,399 the difference between not knowing that 800 00:32:58,610 --> 00:32:56,220 radio can occur versus finding out the 801 00:33:00,409 --> 00:32:58,620 radio happens it's like I can really 802 00:33:01,970 --> 00:33:00,419 appreciate someone then thinking like oh 803 00:33:04,190 --> 00:33:01,980 maybe this psychic stuff actually makes 804 00:33:05,630 --> 00:33:04,200 sense before all of the studies have 805 00:33:07,490 --> 00:33:05,640 happened and all that stuff especially 806 00:33:09,350 --> 00:33:07,500 it's like oh that's remote control or 807 00:33:12,230 --> 00:33:09,360 something like without any visible thing 808 00:33:15,590 --> 00:33:12,240 so you know and so we've got Darwinism 809 00:33:19,310 --> 00:33:15,600 in the 1860s coming out and then we've 810 00:33:21,350 --> 00:33:19,320 got Marxist materialism that deposits 811 00:33:24,110 --> 00:33:21,360 that there's only the material 812 00:33:26,990 --> 00:33:24,120 and then we've got all of these kind of 813 00:33:28,730 --> 00:33:27,000 like reactionary things emerging yeah we 814 00:33:30,649 --> 00:33:28,740 have the Industrial Revolution we have 815 00:33:32,690 --> 00:33:30,659 Alexander Graham Bell who originally was 816 00:33:35,810 --> 00:33:32,700 trying to speak to the dead yeah and he 817 00:33:37,789 --> 00:33:35,820 invented the telephone right yeah and so 818 00:33:39,350 --> 00:33:37,799 like a big thing that I see that's so 819 00:33:41,269 --> 00:33:39,360 important in these differences is 820 00:33:42,830 --> 00:33:41,279 something that reminds me from uh 821 00:33:45,110 --> 00:33:42,840 political philosophy actually where 822 00:33:47,750 --> 00:33:45,120 there's a huge difference in building a 823 00:33:51,110 --> 00:33:47,760 nation-state between ethnic nationalism 824 00:33:53,690 --> 00:33:51,120 and Civic nationalism because one of 825 00:33:56,389 --> 00:33:53,700 those categories you can choose to be a 826 00:33:58,850 --> 00:33:56,399 member of and the other one has this 827 00:34:01,430 --> 00:33:58,860 like extremely Insidious component where 828 00:34:04,149 --> 00:34:01,440 you don't choose to be a part of it and 829 00:34:07,130 --> 00:34:04,159 so it's interesting to me that 830 00:34:09,409 --> 00:34:07,140 underlying like the original emergence 831 00:34:11,329 --> 00:34:09,419 of Nazism and somehow into the 832 00:34:13,450 --> 00:34:11,339 underlying culture of the modern UFO 833 00:34:16,070 --> 00:34:13,460 Movement we have this kind of like 834 00:34:18,950 --> 00:34:16,080 exclusionary component 835 00:34:21,589 --> 00:34:18,960 you know felt by a significant number of 836 00:34:25,369 --> 00:34:21,599 the uh leaders of the movement that is 837 00:34:28,849 --> 00:34:25,379 it's inherently exclusionary and it 838 00:34:30,409 --> 00:34:28,859 troubles me uh because I you know I 839 00:34:31,970 --> 00:34:30,419 we see so many problems when somebody 840 00:34:34,310 --> 00:34:31,980 can't choose to be a part of the 841 00:34:36,409 --> 00:34:34,320 community in that way it creates this 842 00:34:39,050 --> 00:34:36,419 hierarchy reminds me of the case thing 843 00:34:41,450 --> 00:34:39,060 like what are where where is the 844 00:34:43,310 --> 00:34:41,460 movement headed right now based on if 845 00:34:45,290 --> 00:34:43,320 people are not conscious of these 846 00:34:47,349 --> 00:34:45,300 historic patterns like where is this 847 00:34:50,510 --> 00:34:47,359 headed like where's what's the ultimate 848 00:34:53,450 --> 00:34:50,520 emergence of the UFO Community if 849 00:34:56,149 --> 00:34:53,460 disclosure does happen right it's like 850 00:34:58,910 --> 00:34:56,159 in a in a way that they feel like are we 851 00:35:00,530 --> 00:34:58,920 gonna would that be ideally this like 852 00:35:02,810 --> 00:35:00,540 emergence of a culture where there are 853 00:35:05,450 --> 00:35:02,820 these sort of like Elites that are 854 00:35:06,950 --> 00:35:05,460 purely based on their genetics like is 855 00:35:09,970 --> 00:35:06,960 that something we want to Aspire towards 856 00:35:14,810 --> 00:35:12,290 I don't know maybe that's too much but 857 00:35:17,569 --> 00:35:14,820 um we probably don't want to Aspire to 858 00:35:20,329 --> 00:35:17,579 this no um but it's like if these people 859 00:35:22,550 --> 00:35:20,339 actually are being communicated with by 860 00:35:24,890 --> 00:35:22,560 the energy force that is the center of 861 00:35:26,750 --> 00:35:24,900 the Earth or whatever right if we full 862 00:35:28,910 --> 00:35:26,760 it's like it's almost like being an 863 00:35:30,530 --> 00:35:28,920 anti-theist where it's like if you read 864 00:35:32,390 --> 00:35:30,540 that Bible like I don't know if you want 865 00:35:34,069 --> 00:35:32,400 to be Pro this guy because there's some 866 00:35:35,630 --> 00:35:34,079 really disturbing stuff going on in here 867 00:35:38,770 --> 00:35:35,640 yeah there's some problematic things 868 00:35:40,730 --> 00:35:38,780 going on in this uh Old Testament huh 869 00:35:42,530 --> 00:35:40,740 you know you know what it reminds me of 870 00:35:44,569 --> 00:35:42,540 too like part of theosophy and part of 871 00:35:46,490 --> 00:35:44,579 blavatsuki's teachings were that there 872 00:35:49,069 --> 00:35:46,500 were ascended masters that she basically 873 00:35:51,530 --> 00:35:49,079 identified individuals who were 874 00:35:52,970 --> 00:35:51,540 basically of a chosen race uh one of the 875 00:35:54,710 --> 00:35:52,980 more interesting ones is this guy I 876 00:35:55,970 --> 00:35:54,720 think the count of Saint Germain if you 877 00:35:57,829 --> 00:35:55,980 want to look him up he's actually a 878 00:35:59,329 --> 00:35:57,839 super fascinating dude 879 00:36:01,430 --> 00:35:59,339 um but this idea that there were 880 00:36:05,150 --> 00:36:01,440 selected individuals 881 00:36:07,849 --> 00:36:05,160 um who basically had these extraordinary 882 00:36:11,089 --> 00:36:07,859 or Master race ideas about you know 883 00:36:12,950 --> 00:36:11,099 communion with the Divine or higher 884 00:36:15,230 --> 00:36:12,960 knowledge or esoteric knowledge she also 885 00:36:17,089 --> 00:36:15,240 you know and like again she's totally 886 00:36:18,770 --> 00:36:17,099 like a problematic fave she talks a lot 887 00:36:21,230 --> 00:36:18,780 about like you know these ascended 888 00:36:22,810 --> 00:36:21,240 masters these I think the seven races 889 00:36:26,150 --> 00:36:22,820 yeah 890 00:36:29,510 --> 00:36:26,160 the root races which totally not racist 891 00:36:30,650 --> 00:36:29,520 but they're also like kind of racist 892 00:36:33,230 --> 00:36:30,660 um 893 00:36:34,910 --> 00:36:33,240 I think she said that there was a uh a 894 00:36:38,589 --> 00:36:34,920 new root race 895 00:36:41,329 --> 00:36:38,599 um which was being um 896 00:36:43,550 --> 00:36:41,339 evolving in California 897 00:36:45,950 --> 00:36:43,560 and that was going to replace the Aryan 898 00:36:49,430 --> 00:36:45,960 race as the uh 899 00:36:51,230 --> 00:36:49,440 as the top dog now California like 900 00:36:52,069 --> 00:36:51,240 became a very big part of The Counter 901 00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:52,079 Culture 902 00:36:56,750 --> 00:36:54,060 in the US and like a lot of the 903 00:36:57,950 --> 00:36:56,760 contactees actually made many references 904 00:36:59,829 --> 00:36:57,960 to 905 00:37:03,050 --> 00:36:59,839 um ascended masters and other 906 00:37:06,250 --> 00:37:03,060 venusians as well and virtually all of 907 00:37:08,569 --> 00:37:06,260 them were of these aliens were um 908 00:37:11,510 --> 00:37:08,579 Nordic blondes so I don't know if that 909 00:37:13,310 --> 00:37:11,520 was like a sort of a racist um but 910 00:37:15,109 --> 00:37:13,320 unconscious thing going on because at 911 00:37:17,510 --> 00:37:15,119 the time America was pretty racist and 912 00:37:19,370 --> 00:37:17,520 even liberals were you know pretty 913 00:37:21,589 --> 00:37:19,380 racist so 914 00:37:22,790 --> 00:37:21,599 but on the other hand like blavatsky 915 00:37:25,010 --> 00:37:22,800 specifically 916 00:37:26,810 --> 00:37:25,020 um you can read her stuff in a sort of 917 00:37:28,190 --> 00:37:26,820 way that says like that that it was 918 00:37:29,569 --> 00:37:28,200 racist in another way that it wasn't 919 00:37:31,430 --> 00:37:29,579 racist but 920 00:37:34,990 --> 00:37:31,440 I think she said something to the effect 921 00:37:37,790 --> 00:37:35,000 that um Aryans were not especially 922 00:37:40,490 --> 00:37:37,800 spiritually attuned and that actually um 923 00:37:42,950 --> 00:37:40,500 Indian people were more spiritually 924 00:37:44,329 --> 00:37:42,960 attuned isn't that right and that some 925 00:37:46,910 --> 00:37:44,339 of the ascended masters were actually 926 00:37:48,410 --> 00:37:46,920 from India yeah she she made a lot of 927 00:37:50,990 --> 00:37:48,420 claims throughout her life of spending 928 00:37:52,970 --> 00:37:51,000 large amounts of time in Tibet 929 00:37:54,829 --> 00:37:52,980 um in meeting with like the ascended 930 00:37:56,630 --> 00:37:54,839 masters there like Tibetan llamas 931 00:37:59,030 --> 00:37:56,640 teaching in the sort of mystical and 932 00:38:00,770 --> 00:37:59,040 esoteric Buddhist traditions and again 933 00:38:03,050 --> 00:38:00,780 like this totally plays into the 934 00:38:05,030 --> 00:38:03,060 orientalist fetishization of anything 935 00:38:06,710 --> 00:38:05,040 kind of woo-woo which by the way we 936 00:38:09,650 --> 00:38:06,720 still definitely have in the year of Our 937 00:38:11,630 --> 00:38:09,660 Lord 2022. but back then this you know 938 00:38:13,130 --> 00:38:11,640 conferred and especially magical element 939 00:38:15,589 --> 00:38:13,140 now whether or not she actually spent 940 00:38:17,630 --> 00:38:15,599 time in Tibet I believe is a matter of 941 00:38:18,829 --> 00:38:17,640 debate but 942 00:38:20,569 --> 00:38:18,839 um this was something she pretty 943 00:38:23,690 --> 00:38:20,579 regularly referenced and also like when 944 00:38:27,890 --> 00:38:23,700 she founded the theosophical society it 945 00:38:31,310 --> 00:38:27,900 was also headquartered in India and was 946 00:38:33,890 --> 00:38:31,320 she made claims I think her and Henry 947 00:38:35,150 --> 00:38:33,900 Scott Olson Olson Scott whatever he had 948 00:38:37,609 --> 00:38:35,160 a big beard 949 00:38:39,770 --> 00:38:37,619 um they claimed that there was this 950 00:38:40,810 --> 00:38:39,780 young Indian guy 951 00:38:44,150 --> 00:38:40,820 um 952 00:38:46,069 --> 00:38:44,160 krishnamurti but not that krishnamurti 953 00:38:48,890 --> 00:38:46,079 um that they thought was going to carry 954 00:38:50,930 --> 00:38:48,900 kind of the torch of theosophy and this 955 00:38:53,150 --> 00:38:50,940 was a role that was placed on him when 956 00:38:56,150 --> 00:38:53,160 he was very young I think like six or 957 00:38:58,670 --> 00:38:56,160 seven years old and he carried it and 958 00:39:01,130 --> 00:38:58,680 eventually wound up leaving theosophy I 959 00:39:03,410 --> 00:39:01,140 think maybe like in his teens or 20s and 960 00:39:05,329 --> 00:39:03,420 electing to not be the chosen person in 961 00:39:07,670 --> 00:39:05,339 this new emergent religious movement but 962 00:39:11,210 --> 00:39:07,680 there's still a very large and dedicated 963 00:39:12,589 --> 00:39:11,220 contingent of theosophists in India that 964 00:39:15,829 --> 00:39:12,599 continues sort of maintaining this 965 00:39:17,990 --> 00:39:15,839 tradition the U.S uh the U.S branch is 966 00:39:20,270 --> 00:39:18,000 based out of I think wheat in Illinois 967 00:39:23,270 --> 00:39:20,280 outside Chicago 968 00:39:24,470 --> 00:39:23,280 uh-huh interesting how many people would 969 00:39:27,050 --> 00:39:24,480 you say 970 00:39:31,190 --> 00:39:27,060 in the US is still 971 00:39:36,710 --> 00:39:33,589 give us 972 00:39:40,430 --> 00:39:36,720 If There Were Ten Thousand I would be 973 00:39:44,270 --> 00:39:42,109 like like if there were ten thousand 974 00:39:45,650 --> 00:39:44,280 there's probably a rounding error and I 975 00:39:48,170 --> 00:39:45,660 would imagine the 976 00:39:49,730 --> 00:39:48,180 critical mass of them or were like oh I 977 00:39:51,589 --> 00:39:49,740 wanted to take a class on meditation and 978 00:39:53,810 --> 00:39:51,599 it was half off if I became a member 979 00:39:55,370 --> 00:39:53,820 which is why I now get Quest magazine 980 00:39:58,069 --> 00:39:55,380 every other month 981 00:39:59,510 --> 00:39:58,079 um which is their publication they do 982 00:40:00,650 --> 00:39:59,520 they're a lot at this point they've sort 983 00:40:02,390 --> 00:40:00,660 of become like the philosophical 984 00:40:04,250 --> 00:40:02,400 research Society out of Los Angeles 985 00:40:05,990 --> 00:40:04,260 where they teach like woo-woo classes 986 00:40:08,750 --> 00:40:06,000 and have like nice audio books and like 987 00:40:10,310 --> 00:40:08,760 scented candles and stuff but I'm uh I'm 988 00:40:12,710 --> 00:40:10,320 not totally confident that people are 989 00:40:13,910 --> 00:40:12,720 true theosophists at this point in any 990 00:40:16,910 --> 00:40:13,920 meaningful sense other than maybe 991 00:40:18,530 --> 00:40:16,920 finding it kind of a interesting 992 00:40:20,510 --> 00:40:18,540 um curiosity I think people are more 993 00:40:22,730 --> 00:40:20,520 inclined towards like the I am movements 994 00:40:25,310 --> 00:40:22,740 or some of these like later iterations 995 00:40:28,130 --> 00:40:25,320 of theosophy then sort of this like core 996 00:40:29,810 --> 00:40:28,140 version that blavatsky started 997 00:40:32,270 --> 00:40:29,820 the other interesting thing about 998 00:40:33,829 --> 00:40:32,280 theosophy is the um idea of a golden age 999 00:40:36,050 --> 00:40:33,839 or a 1000 00:40:39,170 --> 00:40:36,060 um sort of an ancient 1001 00:40:40,730 --> 00:40:39,180 period where people were more uh they 1002 00:40:43,550 --> 00:40:40,740 understood the secrets of the universe 1003 00:40:45,650 --> 00:40:43,560 and then that those Secrets became kind 1004 00:40:48,770 --> 00:40:45,660 of lost or refracted into different 1005 00:40:50,810 --> 00:40:48,780 religions and um I could see that that 1006 00:40:52,550 --> 00:40:50,820 would appeal to some people on the far 1007 00:40:55,790 --> 00:40:52,560 right as well because they also talk a 1008 00:40:58,069 --> 00:40:55,800 lot about lost Golden Ages and ancient 1009 00:41:00,470 --> 00:40:58,079 wisdom and stuff like that 1010 00:41:02,990 --> 00:41:00,480 um right and that's reminding me of the 1011 00:41:05,150 --> 00:41:03,000 the underlying Nazi uh philosophies 1012 00:41:07,730 --> 00:41:05,160 right because they like they did in 1013 00:41:09,770 --> 00:41:07,740 Indiana Jones uh Spielberg referenced 1014 00:41:13,670 --> 00:41:09,780 right the Nazis were engaged in a bunch 1015 00:41:15,770 --> 00:41:13,680 of archeology try going trying to figure 1016 00:41:17,870 --> 00:41:15,780 out where they came from in quotes which 1017 00:41:19,310 --> 00:41:17,880 obviously was a bunch of nonsense but uh 1018 00:41:20,930 --> 00:41:19,320 it's interesting that there's this 1019 00:41:24,770 --> 00:41:20,940 underlying 1020 00:41:27,410 --> 00:41:24,780 dream of the you know history of this 1021 00:41:29,890 --> 00:41:27,420 Golden Age trying to bring it back and 1022 00:41:32,870 --> 00:41:29,900 it does actually remind me because like 1023 00:41:35,870 --> 00:41:32,880 uh indo-europeans like all of our 1024 00:41:38,470 --> 00:41:35,880 religions uh can be traced back to a 1025 00:41:41,990 --> 00:41:38,480 centralized culture right the Indian 1026 00:41:44,750 --> 00:41:42,000 Iranian uh the uh and then moving to the 1027 00:41:48,250 --> 00:41:44,760 West uh the Zeus and then the Nordic uh 1028 00:41:53,630 --> 00:41:51,109 linguistically the pantheon was the same 1029 00:41:55,970 --> 00:41:53,640 so there actually was some period of uh 1030 00:41:58,730 --> 00:41:55,980 a unification at some point between 1031 00:42:01,790 --> 00:41:58,740 these cultures but then it becomes like 1032 00:42:04,490 --> 00:42:01,800 warped and used for these um 1033 00:42:06,109 --> 00:42:04,500 evil purposes over time 1034 00:42:07,790 --> 00:42:06,119 and it's like 1035 00:42:10,130 --> 00:42:07,800 there's just there's so much of this 1036 00:42:11,990 --> 00:42:10,140 right this blending of good with evil 1037 00:42:15,349 --> 00:42:12,000 and it makes it very hard to separate it 1038 00:42:16,730 --> 00:42:15,359 out and it's like adamsky uh in 1039 00:42:20,930 --> 00:42:16,740 California he was one of the first 1040 00:42:23,150 --> 00:42:20,940 contactees right and uh he he was very 1041 00:42:26,450 --> 00:42:23,160 much like into this environmentalist 1042 00:42:28,730 --> 00:42:26,460 thing and you know it's like Hitler was 1043 00:42:29,990 --> 00:42:28,740 in like an environmentalist like he I 1044 00:42:32,750 --> 00:42:30,000 believe founded one of the first 1045 00:42:34,849 --> 00:42:32,760 national like Park in Germany and he was 1046 00:42:35,690 --> 00:42:34,859 a vegetarian and all this crazy stuff so 1047 00:42:39,050 --> 00:42:35,700 it's like 1048 00:42:43,010 --> 00:42:39,060 there's this combination of like 1049 00:42:46,849 --> 00:42:43,020 the positive like with the negative the 1050 00:42:49,069 --> 00:42:46,859 scientific with the fake and it just 1051 00:42:50,750 --> 00:42:49,079 turns into this Frankenstein monster as 1052 00:42:52,370 --> 00:42:50,760 it uh continues to sort of Advance 1053 00:42:54,829 --> 00:42:52,380 Through the Ages 1054 00:42:57,130 --> 00:42:54,839 yeah I mean we see we see eco-fascism 1055 00:42:59,270 --> 00:42:57,140 now right we like we see this crossover 1056 00:43:01,970 --> 00:42:59,280 where there's this mystical connection 1057 00:43:03,829 --> 00:43:01,980 to the soil and as a result people feel 1058 00:43:06,410 --> 00:43:03,839 this extraordinary and tribalistic 1059 00:43:09,790 --> 00:43:06,420 protectionism of the soil 1060 00:43:15,770 --> 00:43:13,670 yeah talk about this and um 1061 00:43:17,510 --> 00:43:15,780 free energy you know like you always 1062 00:43:19,670 --> 00:43:17,520 hear like for example in the Bob Lazar 1063 00:43:22,609 --> 00:43:19,680 story that the if we could reverse 1064 00:43:24,829 --> 00:43:22,619 engineer the um alien reactor we could 1065 00:43:26,329 --> 00:43:24,839 get like free energy forever and it 1066 00:43:28,309 --> 00:43:26,339 would revolutionize everything and that 1067 00:43:30,109 --> 00:43:28,319 the the government is hiding it because 1068 00:43:32,870 --> 00:43:30,119 the um they're in cahoots with a 1069 00:43:36,170 --> 00:43:32,880 petroleum industry right that's actually 1070 00:43:38,630 --> 00:43:36,180 got very deep anti-semitic Roots because 1071 00:43:39,950 --> 00:43:38,640 um the idea of clean energy a number 1072 00:43:42,349 --> 00:43:39,960 that couldn't be a clean energy like 1073 00:43:45,410 --> 00:43:42,359 maybe you know Fusion Energy will be 1074 00:43:47,569 --> 00:43:45,420 mastered one day that would be great but 1075 00:43:49,609 --> 00:43:47,579 um the idea of like this um UFO 1076 00:43:52,490 --> 00:43:49,619 implosion energy that a lot of these 1077 00:43:54,589 --> 00:43:52,500 neo-nazis talk about they contrast that 1078 00:43:57,650 --> 00:43:54,599 with the combustion energy of uh 1079 00:44:01,250 --> 00:43:57,660 petroleum so like petroleum burning is 1080 00:44:03,829 --> 00:44:01,260 meant to be evil and Jewish whereas uh 1081 00:44:04,730 --> 00:44:03,839 the implosion real slash 1082 00:44:06,770 --> 00:44:04,740 um 1083 00:44:08,809 --> 00:44:06,780 clean energy is meant to be like the 1084 00:44:10,849 --> 00:44:08,819 Aryan science energy 1085 00:44:13,370 --> 00:44:10,859 and you know it's got some spiritual 1086 00:44:14,690 --> 00:44:13,380 elements in it as well sometimes it's 1087 00:44:16,309 --> 00:44:14,700 difficult to say whether they're really 1088 00:44:19,250 --> 00:44:16,319 talking about something physical versus 1089 00:44:21,010 --> 00:44:19,260 something like um spiritually right but 1090 00:44:23,270 --> 00:44:21,020 it's very yeah it gets very kind of 1091 00:44:26,109 --> 00:44:23,280 esoteric and confusing which I think is 1092 00:44:31,309 --> 00:44:28,970 so much of like I feel like so much of 1093 00:44:33,109 --> 00:44:31,319 popular fascist thought or authoritarian 1094 00:44:36,410 --> 00:44:33,119 thought is contingent on plausible 1095 00:44:37,609 --> 00:44:36,420 deniability too right yeah like like to 1096 00:44:39,890 --> 00:44:37,619 make it as 1097 00:44:41,510 --> 00:44:39,900 abhorrent as possible but if you call it 1098 00:44:44,030 --> 00:44:41,520 out to say that's not what I meant you 1099 00:44:46,490 --> 00:44:44,040 misinterpreted it or like like sort of 1100 00:44:50,329 --> 00:44:46,500 dog whistling can we talk a little bit 1101 00:44:52,670 --> 00:44:50,339 uh about adamski here oh yeah um and the 1102 00:44:55,069 --> 00:44:52,680 contact team movement oh they're so 1103 00:44:57,710 --> 00:44:55,079 interesting so I was just mentioning to 1104 00:44:59,329 --> 00:44:57,720 Leah before this um podcast 1105 00:45:02,510 --> 00:44:59,339 um a book that everyone should read is 1106 00:45:05,690 --> 00:45:02,520 called A is for a damsky the Golden Age 1107 00:45:07,190 --> 00:45:05,700 of the UFO contactees by Adam go rightly 1108 00:45:14,470 --> 00:45:07,200 and Greg Bishop 1109 00:45:21,650 --> 00:45:18,589 foiled Again by the k-hole yep well so 1110 00:45:24,349 --> 00:45:21,660 this um the contact is a sort of roughly 1111 00:45:26,089 --> 00:45:24,359 the period from Kenneth Arnold 1112 00:45:28,069 --> 00:45:26,099 um although there were contactees before 1113 00:45:29,510 --> 00:45:28,079 then like from the 1930s or at least 1114 00:45:31,970 --> 00:45:29,520 they claimed that they made first 1115 00:45:34,609 --> 00:45:31,980 contact with the aliens in the 30s if 1116 00:45:39,950 --> 00:45:34,619 not earlier yeah and sort of into the 1117 00:45:42,410 --> 00:45:39,960 1970s maybe late 1970s like 78 79 is 1118 00:45:43,849 --> 00:45:42,420 when the contacting movement period 1119 00:45:45,650 --> 00:45:43,859 ended 1120 00:45:48,050 --> 00:45:45,660 and then it gave way to a more kind of 1121 00:45:50,870 --> 00:45:48,060 sinister idea about 1122 00:45:54,050 --> 00:45:50,880 um alien Grays uh and government you 1123 00:45:56,150 --> 00:45:54,060 know my labs and stuff like that but 1124 00:45:58,309 --> 00:45:56,160 I was gonna say can you talk to us a 1125 00:45:59,990 --> 00:45:58,319 little bit about what characterized the 1126 00:46:02,930 --> 00:46:00,000 contact team movement like what ideas 1127 00:46:05,870 --> 00:46:02,940 and beliefs 1128 00:46:08,089 --> 00:46:05,880 um Enlightenment uh that these aliens 1129 00:46:09,970 --> 00:46:08,099 were bringing us um they were offering 1130 00:46:13,970 --> 00:46:09,980 like a new way of life which was more 1131 00:46:14,329 --> 00:46:13,980 ecologically sustainable and peaceful 1132 00:46:15,130 --> 00:46:14,339 [Music] 1133 00:46:18,710 --> 00:46:15,140 um 1134 00:46:21,650 --> 00:46:18,720 these aliens were almost always the the 1135 00:46:23,750 --> 00:46:21,660 uh Nordic you know the so-called Nordic 1136 00:46:25,490 --> 00:46:23,760 or tall blondes 1137 00:46:28,130 --> 00:46:25,500 um they came they come from a very 1138 00:46:31,069 --> 00:46:28,140 Advanced uh Society sometimes from Venus 1139 00:46:34,190 --> 00:46:31,079 sometimes from Jupiter or Saturn or Mars 1140 00:46:37,609 --> 00:46:34,200 or some other star system like aldebaran 1141 00:46:39,950 --> 00:46:37,619 or um the Pleiades like especially with 1142 00:46:45,530 --> 00:46:39,960 um Billy miles The Pleiadians that's 1143 00:46:47,870 --> 00:46:45,540 that's yeah the good Nazis 1144 00:46:49,430 --> 00:46:47,880 further and further away as our 1145 00:46:51,530 --> 00:46:49,440 scientific knowledge of our solar system 1146 00:46:53,390 --> 00:46:51,540 grew right isn't that kind of how it 1147 00:46:56,569 --> 00:46:53,400 progressed such a good point that's such 1148 00:46:59,329 --> 00:46:56,579 an interesting observation yeah 1149 00:47:01,670 --> 00:46:59,339 now one of one of those nordics that uh 1150 00:47:04,970 -->

Californian tribe 1168 00:47:51,170 --> 00:47:45,540 um 1169 00:47:52,670 --> 00:47:51,180 wasn't an outright Nazi as such even 1170 00:47:54,349 --> 00:47:52,680 though he was a member of the of the 1171 00:47:56,150 --> 00:47:54,359 silver shirts 1172 00:47:58,910 --> 00:47:56,160 um and he did a lot of he was very very 1173 00:48:01,130 --> 00:47:58,920 involved in the contactee movement like

00:48:29,579 Russia or Poland later on but um he was 1186 00:48:35,150 --> 00:48:32,060 born you know when was it 1187 00:48:36,650 --> 00:48:35,160 1891 or something and I don't know I 1188 00:48:39,650 --> 00:48:36,660 don't think he 1189 00:48:41,630 --> 00:48:39,660 I don't recall if he fought the Nazis 1190 00:48:43,490 --> 00:48:41,640 um 1191 00:48:45,470 --> 00:48:43,500 he has set up a cafe though in 1192 00:48:48,770 --> 00:48:45,480 California 1193 00:48:50,990 --> 00:48:48,780 um and uh he was sometimes called 1194 00:48:53,390 --> 00:48:51,000 Professor because like he tried to make 1195 00:48:56,089 --> 00:48:53,400 it look like he was a professor working 1196 00:48:59,690 --> 00:48:56,099 at The Observatory nearby but he didn't 1197 00:49:01,690 --> 00:48:59,700

remember reading on um David darling's 1201 00:49:10,430 --> 00:49:08,520 like encyclopedia online he's an 1202 00:49:11,809 --> 00:49:10,440 astronomer he talks about a damski a 1203 00:49:14,210 --> 00:49:11,819 little bit and he was he calls it a 1204 00:49:16,550 --> 00:49:14,220 hamburger stand that he's running and um 1205 00:49:18,650 --> 00:49:16,560 is this whole the thing about how he

of the UFOs that he was 1209 00:49:27,050 --> 00:49:25,200 meeting right and and then he was 1210 00:49:29,630 --> 00:49:27,060 selling these things at the hamburger 1211 00:49:31,250 --> 00:49:29,640 stands like pushing them and there's 1212 00:49:34,069 --> 00:49:31,260 this funny story about jail and heinek 1213 00:49:35,630 --> 00:49:34,079 going to talk to him and uh all the 1214 00:49:37,130 --> 00:49:35,640 adamsky was doing the whole time was 1215 00:49:39,609 --> 00:49:37,140 trying to sell him photos and he was 1216 00:49:42,290 --> 00:49:39,619 just like okay whatever 1217 00:49:43,910 --> 00:49:42,300 it's like and like it always comes down 1218 00:49:46,490 --> 00:49:43,920 to this kind of thing right it's like 1219 00:49:48,829 --> 00:49:46,500 here's a boot print here's a photo and 1220 00:49:52,490 --> 00:49:48,839 then it's like it goes away over time 1221 00:49:54,410 --> 00:49:52,500 every time so apparently in the 30s 1222 00:49:56,990 --> 00:49:54,420 adamski was also in Southern California 1223 00:49:59,510 --> 00:49:57,000 and founded quote the Royal order of 1224 00:50:02,089 --> 00:49:59,520 Tibetan PhD Temple of scientific 1225 00:50:05,089 --> 00:50:02,099 philosophy and he served as a 1226 00:50:07,190 --> 00:50:05,099 philosopher and teacher at the temple 1227 00:50:09,349 --> 00:50:07,200 um very interesting again we see this 1228 00:50:11,510 --> 00:50:09,359 like appropriation and fetishization of 1229 00:50:14,089 --> 00:50:11,520 like the Eastern orientalist yeah 1230 00:50:17,150 --> 00:50:14,099 spiritual traditions and later on Venus 1231 00:50:19,130 --> 00:50:17,160 as well so the the uh the toll blondes 1232 00:50:22,490 --> 00:50:19,140 the the nordics that he talks about um 1233 00:50:23,210 --> 00:50:22,500 orthon the first one that he never met 1234 00:50:25,309 --> 00:50:23,220 um 1235 00:50:27,349 --> 00:50:25,319 was you know reputedly came from the 1236 00:50:30,650 --> 00:50:27,359 planet Venus which was a big thing in 1237 00:50:32,870 --> 00:50:30,660 theosophy as well and um because it was 1238 00:50:34,430 --> 00:50:32,880 like in theosophy um wasn't Venus like 1239 00:50:36,770 --> 00:50:34,440 the portal of the 1240 00:50:38,329 --> 00:50:36,780 the soul or like the ascended marthas 1241 00:50:41,030 --> 00:50:38,339 were using it as a 1242 00:50:43,010 --> 00:50:41,040 like a a magnifying glass to be able to 1243 00:50:45,349 --> 00:50:43,020 communicate with a damsky oh what not 1244 00:50:47,990 --> 00:50:45,359 with a damski with blavatsky 1245 00:50:50,150 --> 00:50:48,000 something to that effect sure yes yeah 1246 00:50:53,690 --> 00:50:50,160 it was conferred some sort of particular 1247 00:50:56,750 --> 00:50:53,700 status in their cosmology yeah later on 1248 00:50:58,849 --> 00:50:56,760 it did actually become more concretely 1249 00:51:01,309 --> 00:50:58,859 um about physical extraterrestrials 1250 00:51:03,829 --> 00:51:01,319 there was another theosophers who like 1251 00:51:07,130 --> 00:51:03,839 into the 1930s I think she was talking 1252 00:51:09,349 --> 00:51:07,140 more about Venus as like a physical home 1253 00:51:11,569 --> 00:51:09,359 of the actual Flesh and Blood aliens 1254 00:51:15,410 --> 00:51:11,579 instead of blavatsky's more sort of 1255 00:51:18,349 --> 00:51:15,420 spiritual plane Consciousness linked um 1256 00:51:20,510 --> 00:51:18,359 you know beings ascended masters right 1257 00:51:23,690 --> 00:51:20,520 the regression from the Consciousness 1258 00:51:25,670 --> 00:51:23,700 framing to the nuts and bolts right yeah 1259 00:51:28,010 --> 00:51:25,680 well and isn't that interesting it's 1260 00:51:31,010 --> 00:51:28,020 bringing to mind at the end of the 1800s 1261 00:51:34,010 --> 00:51:31,020 with uh scientific observations of the 1262 00:51:36,950 --> 00:51:34,020 different planets right and then seeing 1263 00:51:39,190 --> 00:51:36,960 Mars through these telescopes uh there 1264 00:51:40,970 --> 00:51:39,200 were the arguments originally from 1265 00:51:43,370 --> 00:51:40,980 scientists saying that they were 1266 00:51:46,130 --> 00:51:43,380 thinking that they were seeing Canali 1267 00:51:47,930 --> 00:51:46,140 right the channels on Mars and there was 1268 00:51:50,390 --> 00:51:47,940 it was very popular for quite some time 1269 00:51:52,069 --> 00:51:50,400 to uh believe that until and I was 1270 00:51:53,329 --> 00:51:52,079 reading that the optical telescopes from 1271 00:51:55,130 --> 00:51:53,339 Earth were insufficient to actually 1272 00:51:58,670 --> 00:51:55,140 resolve the surface features on Mars 1273 00:52:01,970 --> 00:51:58,680 until they landed those Rovers there in 1274 00:52:03,950 --> 00:52:01,980 like the 60s so like the arguments were 1275 00:52:06,109 --> 00:52:03,960 still going all the way up until the 1276 00:52:08,510 --> 00:52:06,119 photos from the surface and even when 1277 00:52:11,030 --> 00:52:08,520 the Soviet Union uh landed the Venera 1278 00:52:14,030 --> 00:52:11,040 space probes and they could measure like 1279 00:52:16,250 --> 00:52:14,040 the extreme heat and um pressure nothing 1280 00:52:19,190 --> 00:52:16,260 can live there at least nothing that we 1281 00:52:21,530 --> 00:52:19,200 Life as we know it but the contactes 1282 00:52:23,630 --> 00:52:21,540 were still saying oh but it's not really 1283 00:52:25,910 --> 00:52:23,640 meant in that way it's like a a 1284 00:52:27,829 --> 00:52:25,920 different inter-dimensional plane that 1285 00:52:29,329 --> 00:52:27,839 the the nutrients you know they they're 1286 00:52:31,790 --> 00:52:29,339 coming from Venus but it's not on our 1287 00:52:34,010 --> 00:52:31,800 physical plane so that's they sort of 1288 00:52:36,890 --> 00:52:34,020 got around that it's like they were they 1289 00:52:41,450 --> 00:52:36,900 reverted back to the blavatsky and 1290 00:52:42,609 --> 00:52:41,460 theosophical scheme after the physical 1291 00:52:45,109 --> 00:52:42,619 um you know 1292 00:52:49,190 --> 00:52:45,119 experimental results came back 1293 00:52:51,349 --> 00:52:49,200 right oh sorry uh back in 2011 there was 1294 00:52:53,329 --> 00:52:51,359 this um small Christian group led by 1295 00:52:55,309 --> 00:52:53,339 Harold Camping he was kind of a I mean 1296 00:52:56,690 --> 00:52:55,319 maybe it is evangelical and he was 1297 00:52:58,910 --> 00:52:56,700 saying the world was coming to him 1298 00:53:00,650 --> 00:52:58,920 Rapture was coming in 2011 and then that 1299 00:53:02,630 --> 00:53:00,660 he had done it before but he was using 1300 00:53:05,930 --> 00:53:02,640 Bible Code math to kind of suss out this 1301 00:53:08,569 --> 00:53:05,940 date and when it came and went it became 1302 00:53:10,069 --> 00:53:08,579 less of a physical Rapture but more of a 1303 00:53:14,210 --> 00:53:10,079 spiritual Rapture one of those kind of 1304 00:53:16,670 --> 00:53:14,220 invisible magical raptures so that's 1305 00:53:18,470 --> 00:53:16,680 kind of I always kind of think like that 1306 00:53:20,690 --> 00:53:18,480 something similar will happen if we ever 1307 00:53:22,370 --> 00:53:20,700 have like a solid date for disclosure 1308 00:53:24,829 --> 00:53:22,380 you see anybody preaching disclosures 1309 00:53:26,930 --> 00:53:24,839 around the corner then we have it and 1310 00:53:29,089 --> 00:53:26,940 then off disclosure actually you see 1311 00:53:31,490 --> 00:53:29,099 people saying that now there's always 1312 00:53:33,670 --> 00:53:31,500 that kind of like weasel back and forth 1313 00:53:36,589 --> 00:53:33,680 maybe that's kind of what's made 1314 00:53:39,710 --> 00:53:36,599 disclosure is what you decided is sure 1315 00:53:44,990 --> 00:53:43,250 that's what Colts do as well yeah when I 1316 00:53:49,730 --> 00:53:45,000 went like the the are you implying 1317 00:53:51,049 --> 00:53:49,740 ufology is a cult oh no no for me to say 1318 00:53:53,390 --> 00:53:51,059 it's such a thing 1319 00:53:54,910 --> 00:53:53,400 well that's an interesting component uh 1320 00:53:57,710 --> 00:53:54,920 as well that it's kind of like 1321 00:54:00,290 --> 00:53:57,720 Christianity or any major religion where 1322 00:54:02,450 --> 00:54:00,300 even if you're an active conscious 1323 00:54:04,430 --> 00:54:02,460 practitioner of Christianity I don't 1324 00:54:07,250 --> 00:54:04,440 think that we would apply this that 1325 00:54:09,589 --> 00:54:07,260 label of cult to most people like you 1326 00:54:12,470 --> 00:54:09,599 know a Unitarian Church or something but 1327 00:54:15,589 --> 00:54:12,480 you know there is this very Insidious 1328 00:54:18,230 --> 00:54:15,599 subset where the the beliefs can 1329 00:54:19,910 --> 00:54:18,240 manifest in this way especially when we 1330 00:54:21,890 --> 00:54:19,920 have these ideas I mean there are just 1331 00:54:25,130 --> 00:54:21,900 so many examples over and over right of 1332 00:54:28,569 --> 00:54:25,140 these UFO Cults committing suicide 1333 00:54:31,730 --> 00:54:28,579 because then there's no like the 1334 00:54:34,010 --> 00:54:31,740 philosophically the barrier to ending 1335 00:54:36,650 --> 00:54:34,020 your life is reduced if you think that 1336 00:54:39,170 --> 00:54:36,660 you then have an improved existence 1337 00:54:42,049 --> 00:54:39,180 through unifying with the universal 1338 00:54:43,609 --> 00:54:42,059 energy field and stuff and you know it's 1339 00:54:46,130 --> 00:54:43,619 like 1340 00:54:49,010 --> 00:54:46,140 how do we separate that out really right 1341 00:54:50,930 --> 00:54:49,020 uh because it the the beliefs are 1342 00:54:52,569 --> 00:54:50,940 consistent across this and it's like 1343 00:54:55,250 --> 00:54:52,579 almost like cultural specific 1344 00:54:57,049 --> 00:54:55,260 specificity is what becomes important 1345 00:54:59,510 --> 00:54:57,059 because like with Cults like Nick just 1346 00:55:01,250 --> 00:54:59,520 mentioned there's like a day of rapture 1347 00:55:02,809 --> 00:55:01,260 that occurs and what you see is there's 1348 00:55:05,270 --> 00:55:02,819 actually a process where on the day of 1349 00:55:07,609 --> 00:55:05,280 rapture passes nothing happens there is 1350 00:55:10,089 --> 00:55:07,619 a portion of the group that then leave 1351 00:55:12,950 --> 00:55:10,099 but then there's a subset that 1352 00:55:14,390 --> 00:55:12,960 radicalize and become more dedicated to 1353 00:55:16,910 --> 00:55:14,400 the person who says something that was 1354 00:55:18,049 --> 00:55:16,920 false yep yeah you saw this I think 1355 00:55:19,730 --> 00:55:18,059 right yeah 1356 00:55:20,410 --> 00:55:19,740 Grace I've been trying to think in the 1357 00:55:24,710 --> 00:55:20,420 beginning 1358 00:55:27,170 --> 00:55:24,720 oh yeah I mean The Seekers did that I I 1359 00:55:28,670 --> 00:55:27,180 was thinking of so uh Benjamin Zeller 1360 00:55:30,349 --> 00:55:28,680 who's a professor wrote this great book 1361 00:55:32,329 --> 00:55:30,359 called Heaven's Gate America's UFO 1362 00:55:35,150 --> 00:55:32,339 religion and he talks about this because 1363 00:55:37,490 --> 00:55:35,160 Heaven's Gate uh since its Inception in 1364 00:55:39,710 --> 00:55:37,500 the 70s went through multiple iterations 1365 00:55:42,109 --> 00:55:39,720 of like proclaiming the coming Rapture 1366 00:55:44,030 --> 00:55:42,119 and it not occurring and there was 1367 00:55:46,250 --> 00:55:44,040 definitely turnover in people that were 1368 00:55:48,770 --> 00:55:46,260 members but there were also kind of True 1369 00:55:50,390 --> 00:55:48,780 Believers who joined from the very early 1370 00:55:51,890 --> 00:55:50,400 days and remained through everything and 1371 00:55:54,950 --> 00:55:51,900 were part of the group that committed 1372 00:55:57,170 --> 00:55:54,960 you know ritual suicide in 1995. 1373 00:55:59,089 --> 00:55:57,180 um and the emergence of like these UFO 1374 00:56:02,030 --> 00:55:59,099 Cults super fascinating like I can 1375 00:56:03,890 --> 00:56:02,040 remember the raelians proclaiming that 1376 00:56:06,890 --> 00:56:03,900 they had successfully genetically cloned 1377 00:56:08,450 --> 00:56:06,900 a human being and they still exist I 1378 00:56:09,650 --> 00:56:08,460 mean honestly if you're gonna join a UFO 1379 00:56:12,049 --> 00:56:09,660 cult they're probably not a bad one 1380 00:56:14,930 --> 00:56:12,059 because there's lots of women and it's 1381 00:56:17,030 --> 00:56:14,940 all about like sex and having fun I mean 1382 00:56:19,069 --> 00:56:17,040 these are worse Cults to join yeah there 1383 00:56:20,690 --> 00:56:19,079 are totally worst Cults to join 1384 00:56:21,710 --> 00:56:20,700 um but then there's also like the what 1385 00:56:23,990 --> 00:56:21,720 was it 1386 00:56:26,870 --> 00:56:24,000 um the temp the solar Temple or whatever 1387 00:56:32,109 --> 00:56:26,880 that was one in uh I think France in the 1388 00:56:36,710 --> 00:56:34,549 thank you 1389 00:56:38,630 --> 00:56:36,720 um but that's so interesting about those 1390 00:56:40,490 --> 00:56:38,640 a lot of these groups you just made me 1391 00:56:43,309 --> 00:56:40,500 think about the the order of the solar 1392 00:56:45,770 --> 00:56:43,319 Temple these were not poor people 1393 00:56:48,230 --> 00:56:45,780 um these professionals lawyers 1394 00:56:50,390 --> 00:56:48,240 accountants and yet there's something 1395 00:56:53,270 --> 00:56:50,400 about secular society that they found 1396 00:56:54,710 --> 00:56:53,280 deeply unsatisfying it's the same way 1397 00:56:56,089 --> 00:56:54,720 with Heaven's Gate I mean these were 1398 00:56:57,829 --> 00:56:56,099 very well educated otherwise 1399 00:56:59,690 --> 00:56:57,839 well-adjusted people 1400 00:57:01,490 --> 00:56:59,700 um and I mean I think I mean very 1401 00:57:04,069 --> 00:57:01,500 candidly like speaking as someone who's 1402 00:57:06,230 --> 00:57:04,079 very well educated and also I would say 1403 00:57:07,849 --> 00:57:06,240 pretty socially isolated I get the 1404 00:57:09,770 --> 00:57:07,859 appeal you know because you have this 1405 00:57:11,390 --> 00:57:09,780 built-in community of friends and 1406 00:57:14,089 --> 00:57:11,400 supposedly everybody cares about each 1407 00:57:16,790 --> 00:57:14,099 other and on and on there was um there 1408 00:57:20,150 --> 00:57:16,800 was a great podcast about Heaven's Gate 1409 00:57:22,430 --> 00:57:20,160 that came out a few years ago uh it may 1410 00:57:24,890 --> 00:57:22,440 actually just be called Heaven's Gate 1411 00:57:28,190 --> 00:57:24,900 um and it's a very humanizing 1412 00:57:29,569 --> 00:57:28,200 exploration of the uh of the cult and 1413 00:57:31,670 --> 00:57:29,579 sort of looking at the people who were 1414 00:57:34,670 --> 00:57:31,680 looking for meaning and I mean 1415 00:57:36,349 --> 00:57:34,680 we live in a time that is very much void 1416 00:57:37,490 --> 00:57:36,359 of meeting for many people especially 1417 00:57:39,349 --> 00:57:37,500 when you're in this sort of like 1418 00:57:42,109 --> 00:57:39,359 knowledge worker class where maybe 1419 00:57:43,910 --> 00:57:42,119 conventional or normal religions like 1420 00:57:45,950 --> 00:57:43,920 Christianity or whatever may not be 1421 00:57:47,630 --> 00:57:45,960 particularly appealing 1422 00:57:49,130 --> 00:57:47,640 um so to find a bunch of other nerds to 1423 00:57:51,230 --> 00:57:49,140 hang out and play Star Trek with is 1424 00:57:53,630 --> 00:57:51,240 deeply appealing 1425 00:57:56,450 --> 00:57:53,640 it also gets back a little bit to the 1426 00:57:59,329 --> 00:57:56,460 Nazi um Cults and Aryan 1427 00:58:01,730 --> 00:57:59,339 um you know the esoteric fascists 1428 00:58:03,430 --> 00:58:01,740 um a lot of them make the complaint that 1429 00:58:06,170 --> 00:58:03,440 um secular society is all about 1430 00:58:07,270 --> 00:58:06,180 quantification that everything is about 1431 00:58:09,890 --> 00:58:07,280 information 1432 00:58:13,569 --> 00:58:09,900 materialist interpretation yeah yeah 1433 00:58:18,770 --> 00:58:13,579 that um the society has moved away from 1434 00:58:20,390 --> 00:58:18,780 gods and meaning to like just cold data 1435 00:58:22,910 --> 00:58:20,400 which they see is like Jewish 1436 00:58:24,829 --> 00:58:22,920 infiltration and degradation of society 1437 00:58:27,530 --> 00:58:24,839 right that um all this information 1438 00:58:29,690 --> 00:58:27,540 technology is going to destroy us in the 1439 00:58:32,030 --> 00:58:29,700 end so like they do make kind of a good 1440 00:58:33,890 --> 00:58:32,040 point in a way because like there is a 1441 00:58:35,690 --> 00:58:33,900 sort of um alienation that a lot of 1442 00:58:37,730 --> 00:58:35,700 people feel because of 1443 00:58:40,069 --> 00:58:37,740 you know our current social institutions 1444 00:58:41,870 --> 00:58:40,079 and the way that technology is used but 1445 00:58:43,430 --> 00:58:41,880 on the other hand of course they take it 1446 00:58:46,609 --> 00:58:43,440 too far and they they try to blame 1447 00:58:49,010 --> 00:58:46,619 everything on the Jews and yes speaking 1448 00:58:50,569 --> 00:58:49,020 as the resident perfidious Jewish I'm 1449 00:58:52,069 --> 00:58:50,579 here to tell you I don't have any hand 1450 00:58:56,270 --> 00:58:52,079 in control in the media or the financial 1451 00:58:58,910 --> 00:58:56,280 institutions yeah I mean like like 1452 00:59:00,650 --> 00:58:58,920 like with any of these conspiracies 1453 00:59:03,829 --> 00:59:00,660 right you just scratch the surface and 1454 00:59:05,690 --> 00:59:03,839 you find anti-Semitism yeah um and it's 1455 00:59:06,289 --> 00:59:05,700 really it's really amazing there's this 1456 00:59:08,089 --> 00:59:06,299 um 1457 00:59:09,770 --> 00:59:08,099 there's this incredible book by Yuri 1458 00:59:13,750 --> 00:59:09,780 Celestine called the Jewish century and 1459 00:59:16,250 --> 00:59:13,760 he talks about basically how Jews as 1460 00:59:18,710 --> 00:59:16,260 carriers of the media entertainment 1461 00:59:22,150 --> 00:59:18,720 Financial legal Etc Industries is very 1462 00:59:25,730 --> 00:59:22,160 much just a function of having been uh 1463 00:59:28,130 --> 00:59:25,740 removed either forcibly or 1464 00:59:30,230 --> 00:59:28,140 legalistically from any sort of owner 1465 00:59:31,670 --> 00:59:30,240 landownership or Artisan guilds or 1466 00:59:33,530 --> 00:59:31,680 anything so as a result they had to go 1467 00:59:35,510 --> 00:59:33,540 into these industries and it just 1468 00:59:38,150 --> 00:59:35,520 happens to be that Modern Life you know 1469 00:59:40,309 --> 00:59:38,160 the sort of uh post-industrialist 1470 00:59:43,370 --> 00:59:40,319 society that we live in like those are 1471 00:59:45,049 --> 00:59:43,380 the markers of success now to be a 1472 00:59:46,849 --> 00:59:45,059 knowledge worker and it's also a culture 1473 00:59:48,049 --> 00:59:46,859 that I mean this I can speak candidly 1474 00:59:50,870 --> 00:59:48,059 too it's a culture that very much 1475 00:59:53,569 --> 00:59:50,880 emphasizes education and like very 1476 00:59:56,450 --> 00:59:53,579 rigorous sort of uh almost legalistic 1477 00:59:58,430 --> 00:59:56,460 thought it's not a you know outside of 1478 01:00:01,069 --> 00:59:58,440 sort of fundamentalist Orthodoxy which 1479 01:00:04,370 --> 01:00:01,079 is any religion exhibits 1480 01:00:05,809 --> 01:00:04,380 um you know uh very strict adherence but 1481 01:00:08,150 --> 01:00:05,819 like the standard kind of conventional 1482 01:00:10,069 --> 01:00:08,160 second regular Jewish existence is one 1483 01:00:12,170 --> 01:00:10,079 that is very much focused on education 1484 01:00:14,270 --> 01:00:12,180 and intellectual Pursuit and things like 1485 01:00:17,030 --> 01:00:14,280 that like that's not a mistake there's 1486 01:00:19,430 --> 01:00:17,040 an excellent documentary uh called Nazis 1487 01:00:22,370 --> 01:00:19,440 a warning from history where I believe 1488 01:00:24,349 --> 01:00:22,380 it's BBC uh news produced it and they 1489 01:00:26,569 --> 01:00:24,359 are interviewing it was from the 70s and 1490 01:00:28,370 --> 01:00:26,579 real and quote Nazis were interviewed 1491 01:00:31,190 --> 01:00:28,380 for it so it's pretty interesting like 1492 01:00:32,690 --> 01:00:31,200 an actual SS Commander being like I 1493 01:00:35,569 --> 01:00:32,700 originally signed up because they gave 1494 01:00:37,789 --> 01:00:35,579 me a new pair of boots it's like you 1495 01:00:40,130 --> 01:00:37,799 know this like 75 year old woman being 1496 01:00:42,470 --> 01:00:40,140 like when I looked into Hitler's eyes 1497 01:00:45,710 --> 01:00:42,480 that's when I knew I would always love 1498 01:00:47,930 --> 01:00:45,720 him and it's like no grandma no and uh 1499 01:00:51,230 --> 01:00:47,940 but anyway uh more seriously like 1500 01:00:53,510 --> 01:00:51,240 they're talking in it about how in 1501 01:00:56,390 --> 01:00:53,520 Germany leading up to that exactly what 1502 01:00:58,609 --> 01:00:56,400 you're saying oh yeah like the only 1503 01:01:01,309 --> 01:00:58,619 people that were allowed to lend people 1504 01:01:03,349 --> 01:01:01,319 money were non-christians so it ended up 1505 01:01:05,390 --> 01:01:03,359 being audited they were so racist 1506 01:01:07,730 --> 01:01:05,400 against Jews that it was like you'd have 1507 01:01:09,049 --> 01:01:07,740 to give your own family members jobs and 1508 01:01:10,809 --> 01:01:09,059 educate them in the profession because 1509 01:01:15,049 --> 01:01:10,819 you can get hired anywhere so it's like 1510 01:01:16,849 --> 01:01:15,059 self-fulfilling racism exactly and it's 1511 01:01:18,530 --> 01:01:16,859 just like what do you do with that like 1512 01:01:20,630 --> 01:01:18,540 I remember from the documentary one 1513 01:01:23,329 --> 01:01:20,640 guy's like over 50 percent of theater 1514 01:01:25,730 --> 01:01:23,339 directors in Berlin were Jews something 1515 01:01:27,230 --> 01:01:25,740 had to be done and it's like what the 1516 01:01:29,870 --> 01:01:27,240 hell are you it's like it's like 1517 01:01:31,010 --> 01:01:29,880 observation interpretation right that's 1518 01:01:32,450 --> 01:01:31,020 what it always because it's like yeah 1519 01:01:34,490 --> 01:01:32,460 okay and why is that because of 1520 01:01:35,990 --> 01:01:34,500 institutionalized racism and instead 1521 01:01:39,230 --> 01:01:36,000 it's like because they're controlling 1522 01:01:41,870 --> 01:01:39,240 the theaters it's like okay whatever man 1523 01:01:44,270 --> 01:01:41,880 it also preyed on this like anxiety 1524 01:01:45,890 --> 01:01:44,280 right like you have this materialist I 1525 01:01:47,930 --> 01:01:45,900 mean we see it with ecofascism right you 1526 01:01:50,690 --> 01:01:47,940 have this like not materialist it's 1527 01:01:53,210 --> 01:01:50,700 almost mystical connection to soil and 1528 01:01:56,750 --> 01:01:53,220 to land and the Jewish people are 1529 01:01:58,549 --> 01:01:56,760 rootless cosmopolitans like up until the 1530 01:02:01,069 --> 01:01:58,559 establishment of the state of Israel and 1531 01:02:03,530 --> 01:02:01,079 all of this sort of political kerfuffle 1532 01:02:06,650 --> 01:02:03,540 Latin entailed 1533 01:02:09,650 --> 01:02:06,660 um but the Jews never had a Homeland and 1534 01:02:11,510 --> 01:02:09,660 so they were sort of unrooted from their 1535 01:02:13,010 --> 01:02:11,520 land and were pretty regularly driven 1536 01:02:15,170 --> 01:02:13,020 out of wherever they happen to be living 1537 01:02:16,309 --> 01:02:15,180 so they moved around a whole lot 1538 01:02:17,750 --> 01:02:16,319 um and I think that's the other thing 1539 01:02:19,849 --> 01:02:17,760 like they didn't have this sort of 1540 01:02:21,890 --> 01:02:19,859 mystical Association or connection with 1541 01:02:23,390 --> 01:02:21,900 a Fatherland the way that you see sort 1542 01:02:25,549 --> 01:02:23,400 of the alt-right have this mystical 1543 01:02:27,710 --> 01:02:25,559 collection or excuse me connection with 1544 01:02:29,150 --> 01:02:27,720 their their Homeland or with the soil 1545 01:02:31,309 --> 01:02:29,160 and I think that ties into a lot of the 1546 01:02:35,870 --> 01:02:31,319 eco-fascia style thought as well like 1547 01:02:38,150 --> 01:02:35,880 the sense that it is a violation of the 1548 01:02:41,990 --> 01:02:38,160 highest order to pollute the Earth 1549 01:02:44,390 --> 01:02:42,000 because we have this blood connection to 1550 01:02:46,549 --> 01:02:44,400 the land you know the alt-right does or 1551 01:02:48,470 --> 01:02:46,559 this sort of fascist thought does so 1552 01:02:50,870 --> 01:02:48,480 they see Eco side as being a direct 1553 01:02:52,970 --> 01:02:50,880 attack on sort of their core Identity or 1554 01:02:54,349 --> 01:02:52,980 an integral part of their tribal 1555 01:02:56,390 --> 01:02:54,359 identity 1556 01:02:58,010 --> 01:02:56,400 and that also ties into the Eugenics 1557 01:03:00,829 --> 01:02:58,020 aspect 1558 01:03:04,069 --> 01:03:00,839 um that um yeah tell us about that so um 1559 01:03:05,809 --> 01:03:04,079 I really recommend reading Jules Evans 1560 01:03:08,089 --> 01:03:05,819 um series on 1561 01:03:10,670 --> 01:03:08,099 spiritual Eugenics you talked about the 1562 01:03:13,190 --> 01:03:10,680 history of um spiritualism and how it's 1563 01:03:16,609 --> 01:03:13,200 been there's an overlap between that and 1564 01:03:19,309 --> 01:03:16,619 Eugenics and um one of the one of the 1565 01:03:21,890 --> 01:03:19,319 threads there is that um these blood and 1566 01:03:23,210 --> 01:03:21,900 soil types like in the volkish movements 1567 01:03:24,890 --> 01:03:23,220 in Germany 1568 01:03:27,109 --> 01:03:24,900 um they saw 1569 01:03:29,210 --> 01:03:27,119 being outside in the country in the 1570 01:03:31,130 --> 01:03:29,220 countryside away from the dirty you know 1571 01:03:33,829 --> 01:03:31,140 so-called Jewish controlled cities where 1572 01:03:36,470 --> 01:03:33,839 there was pollution and Industry 1573 01:03:38,150 --> 01:03:36,480 um that all true Germans should go out 1574 01:03:40,910 --> 01:03:38,160 to the countryside 1575 01:03:43,309 --> 01:03:40,920 to sort of um get get in touch with 1576 01:03:44,809 --> 01:03:43,319 their not only because it's healthy but 1577 01:03:47,270 --> 01:03:44,819 also because like they can get in touch 1578 01:03:48,589 --> 01:03:47,280 with the ancient you know Aryan gods and 1579 01:03:52,250 --> 01:03:48,599 whatnot 1580 01:03:54,650 --> 01:03:52,260 um Forest Gods but um there's also this 1581 01:03:57,109 --> 01:03:54,660 idea that like the health of the Volk is 1582 01:03:58,730 --> 01:03:57,119 tied up with the soil on the land and 1583 01:04:01,670 --> 01:03:58,740 that um you should have like these um 1584 01:04:03,230 --> 01:04:01,680 Solstice festivals and send people out 1585 01:04:05,569 --> 01:04:03,240 like young people should go out to the 1586 01:04:08,030 --> 01:04:05,579 farms and do work there and stuff 1587 01:04:10,670 --> 01:04:08,040 um and that all true Germans should you 1588 01:04:12,710 --> 01:04:10,680 know live on the land and um that's 1589 01:04:14,329 --> 01:04:12,720 gonna that's that was tied with Eugenics 1590 01:04:16,370 --> 01:04:14,339 because you know it was 1591 01:04:18,789 --> 01:04:16,380 sounds a lot like the Trad wife movement 1592 01:04:21,650 --> 01:04:18,799 right now yeah yeah 1593 01:04:24,049 --> 01:04:21,660 you don't want like any contamination 1594 01:04:26,210 --> 01:04:24,059 from outside and the idea is that the 1595 01:04:28,549 --> 01:04:26,220 Jews are trying to pollute Everybody by 1596 01:04:30,770 --> 01:04:28,559 making them mix like all the races mixed 1597 01:04:33,049 --> 01:04:30,780 together and so there's going to be no 1598 01:04:35,870 --> 01:04:33,059 more Aryan race and that that's like the 1599 01:04:38,630 --> 01:04:35,880 Jewish design is to sort of destroy the 1600 01:04:41,569 --> 01:04:38,640 Aryan race by um instituting political 1601 01:04:44,530 --> 01:04:41,579 correctness and race mixing that's what 1602 01:04:49,490 --> 01:04:44,540 Tucker Carlson talked about now yeah 1603 01:04:53,510 --> 01:04:51,470 okay and that it's just terrifying 1604 01:04:55,250 --> 01:04:53,520 because when you start walking down that 1605 01:04:57,109 --> 01:04:55,260 path and it's like what are we we're 1606 01:05:00,049 --> 01:04:57,119 talking about like genetic differences 1607 01:05:02,210 --> 01:05:00,059 and it's like in the Nazi party 1608 01:05:04,910 --> 01:05:02,220 um Eugenics was so important to them 1609 01:05:07,609 --> 01:05:04,920 right in such a problematic way and uh 1610 01:05:09,829 --> 01:05:07,619 Himmler uh was you know the head of the 1611 01:05:11,690 --> 01:05:09,839 SS and all that stuff he originated uh 1612 01:05:13,670 --> 01:05:11,700 you guys know this as a chicken farmer 1613 01:05:15,829 --> 01:05:13,680 and so he got obsessed with breeding 1614 01:05:17,150 --> 01:05:15,839 chickens for like to make more money and 1615 01:05:18,470 --> 01:05:17,160 stuff and he was like oh when I put the 1616 01:05:19,910 --> 01:05:18,480 two chickens together they make a 1617 01:05:21,049 --> 01:05:19,920 different chicken with the feet it's 1618 01:05:23,329 --> 01:05:21,059 like oh wow you could do that with 1619 01:05:27,370 --> 01:05:23,339 humans too oh my God I'm a genius the 1620 01:05:30,349 --> 01:05:27,380 finality of evil is real man yeah yeah 1621 01:05:32,390 --> 01:05:30,359 exactly it's so true and so it's like 1622 01:05:34,130 --> 01:05:32,400 this guy somehow gets in charge and then 1623 01:05:36,230 --> 01:05:34,140 he's like oh I did this on my farm with 1624 01:05:38,630 --> 01:05:36,240 chickens guys like let's it's like I 1625 01:05:41,329 --> 01:05:38,640 know what I'm doing and it's like like 1626 01:05:43,970 --> 01:05:41,339 in in genetics like diversity is what 1627 01:05:46,370 --> 01:05:43,980 produces adaptability right like it's 1628 01:05:48,289 --> 01:05:46,380 like when you have a very limited gene 1629 01:05:50,569 --> 01:05:48,299 pool actually quite ironic right German 1630 01:05:52,549 --> 01:05:50,579 Shepherds like you can basically not get 1631 01:05:54,349 --> 01:05:52,559 a purebred German Shepherd without a 1632 01:05:55,789 --> 01:05:54,359 debilitating illness that you have to 1633 01:05:58,130 --> 01:05:55,799 care for very carefully for the rest of 1634 01:06:01,309 --> 01:05:58,140 its life it's because like when you have 1635 01:06:03,470 --> 01:06:01,319 pure genetics you are inbreeding and 1636 01:06:05,990 --> 01:06:03,480 that perpetuates very serious genetic 1637 01:06:07,789 --> 01:06:06,000 conditions and blonde hair 1638 01:06:09,710 --> 01:06:07,799 well and it's like all the features that 1639 01:06:11,630 --> 01:06:09,720 they selected for are inbreeding 1640 01:06:13,370 --> 01:06:11,640 features they necessarily occurred 1641 01:06:14,750 --> 01:06:13,380 because of inbreeding blonde hair blue 1642 01:06:17,109 --> 01:06:14,760 eyes all that stuff that they worship 1643 01:06:19,789 --> 01:06:17,119 it's recessive genes that are 1644 01:06:21,349 --> 01:06:19,799 necessarily emerged from inbreeding so 1645 01:06:22,789 --> 01:06:21,359 it's like what are we talking about here 1646 01:06:24,529 --> 01:06:22,799 it's all like in its jumble of science 1647 01:06:26,630 --> 01:06:24,539 because like yeah you can make certain 1648 01:06:28,730 --> 01:06:26,640 breeds of dogs and stuff but then also 1649 01:06:30,289 --> 01:06:28,740 it's like when you start it's there's a 1650 01:06:32,270 --> 01:06:30,299 scientific basis 1651 01:06:34,309 --> 01:06:32,280 and then people are applying it in these 1652 01:06:35,990 --> 01:06:34,319 like ridiculous subjective interpretive 1653 01:06:38,450 --> 01:06:36,000 ways and it's what I see over and over 1654 01:06:40,309 --> 01:06:38,460 again hey it's like this interpretation 1655 01:06:42,890 --> 01:06:40,319 of something that maybe has a basis in 1656 01:06:44,870 --> 01:06:42,900 truth and it's just so problematic yeah 1657 01:06:48,049 --> 01:06:44,880 it's magic with uh with scientific 1658 01:06:50,569 --> 01:06:48,059 vocabulary yes yeah there's some there's 1659 01:06:54,130 --> 01:06:50,579 this book by Ellen's Alan steinwise I 1660 01:06:58,490 --> 01:06:56,630 and it's basically about the 1661 01:06:59,770 --> 01:06:58,500 appropriation of scientific and 1662 01:07:03,289 --> 01:06:59,780 rationalist 1663 01:07:05,390 --> 01:07:03,299 processes and thought to legitimizing 1664 01:07:07,510 --> 01:07:05,400 anti-Semitism and Nazi Germany it 1665 01:07:10,490 --> 01:07:07,520 basically talks about the sort of 1666 01:07:13,190 --> 01:07:10,500 university studies that were undertaken 1667 01:07:15,049 --> 01:07:13,200 phrenology genetic studies things like 1668 01:07:17,150 --> 01:07:15,059 that that were used to scientifically 1669 01:07:20,990 --> 01:07:17,160 underpin 1670 01:07:22,910 --> 01:07:21,000 um the the policies of the Nazis and 1671 01:07:25,609 --> 01:07:22,920 it's I mean 1672 01:07:28,789 --> 01:07:25,619 that's a great way to dissociate from 1673 01:07:30,829 --> 01:07:28,799 the anti-humanity and savagery of it to 1674 01:07:33,349 --> 01:07:30,839 say oh well it's just science like none 1675 01:07:35,809 --> 01:07:33,359 of us it's not our fault 1676 01:07:37,730 --> 01:07:35,819 um but it's uh it's very short it's a I 1677 01:07:40,010 --> 01:07:37,740 don't want to quit say it's a great read 1678 01:07:42,109 --> 01:07:40,020 but it's a very insightful read if you 1679 01:07:46,370 --> 01:07:42,119 want to kind of learn about how science 1680 01:07:48,770 --> 01:07:46,380 has been used to justify an appropriate 1681 01:07:50,990 --> 01:07:48,780 um or Justify and underpin like like 1682 01:07:52,190 --> 01:07:51,000 racist ideologies and policies I mean it 1683 01:07:53,990 --> 01:07:52,200 applies just as readily in the United 1684 01:07:55,789 --> 01:07:54,000 States like look at the policies we had 1685 01:07:59,450 --> 01:07:55,799 around people of color and black 1686 01:08:02,930 --> 01:07:59,460 communities and uh 1687 01:08:05,569 --> 01:08:02,940 yeah people like people were being um 1688 01:08:07,730 --> 01:08:05,579 thrown into like mental asylums just for 1689 01:08:09,170 --> 01:08:07,740 like because they were poor really but 1690 01:08:11,569 --> 01:08:09,180 they had some sort of history of 1691 01:08:13,309 --> 01:08:11,579 whatever violence or something in their 1692 01:08:14,990 --> 01:08:13,319 environment and they were just it was 1693 01:08:17,689 --> 01:08:15,000 assumed that it was genetically based 1694 01:08:19,490 --> 01:08:17,699 they didn't want to pollute the you know 1695 01:08:24,050 --> 01:08:19,500 the white race with that so they just um 1696 01:08:24,060 --> 01:08:28,990 exactly 1697 01:08:34,309 --> 01:08:32,090 no just just just Nazis and Madame 1698 01:08:35,329 --> 01:08:34,319 blavatsby so let's round out the Holy 1699 01:08:38,030 --> 01:08:35,339 Trinity here let's talk about 1700 01:08:39,590 --> 01:08:38,040 Consciousness yeah let's start by 1701 01:08:41,269 --> 01:08:39,600 defining it 1702 01:08:43,749 --> 01:08:41,279 right okay what's the definition of 1703 01:08:47,390 --> 01:08:43,759 Consciousness 1704 01:08:50,390 --> 01:08:47,400 is it a substance is it a place 1705 01:08:55,689 --> 01:08:50,400 I don't think it's a substance I don't 1706 01:09:03,349 --> 01:08:59,769 is it a vibration for hell no 1707 01:09:05,590 --> 01:09:03,359 is it an internal awareness and an 1708 01:09:09,229 --> 01:09:05,600 external awareness 1709 01:09:10,729 --> 01:09:09,239 it's whatever you want right it can be 1710 01:09:12,229 --> 01:09:10,739 yeah well it's been used in so many 1711 01:09:15,349 --> 01:09:12,239 different ways to mean different things 1712 01:09:18,769 --> 01:09:15,359 it can mean anything from uh subjective 1713 01:09:19,970 --> 01:09:18,779 self-awareness to knowledge like you're 1714 01:09:22,249 --> 01:09:19,980 conscious of 1715 01:09:23,870 --> 01:09:22,259 something like uh you know that your or 1716 01:09:26,030 --> 01:09:23,880 your Society is more conscious than 1717 01:09:27,590 --> 01:09:26,040 another society which means like it just 1718 01:09:29,870 --> 01:09:27,600 it's got more knowledge about something 1719 01:09:32,870 --> 01:09:29,880 but um 1720 01:09:34,550 --> 01:09:32,880 I mean Consciousness really in the way 1721 01:09:36,410 --> 01:09:34,560 most people think of it is like the the 1722 01:09:40,309 --> 01:09:36,420 subjective sense of 1723 01:09:42,769 --> 01:09:40,319 that awake awakeness 1724 01:09:45,829 --> 01:09:42,779 um and something special or magical 1725 01:09:48,289 --> 01:09:45,839 about it which is the the qualia aspect 1726 01:09:50,570 --> 01:09:48,299 yeah the quality of processing 1727 01:09:52,789 --> 01:09:50,580 supposedly cannot be reduced to a 1728 01:09:55,550 --> 01:09:52,799 physical functionalist 1729 01:09:57,410 --> 01:09:55,560 um account so they're you know in in the 1730 01:10:01,310 --> 01:09:57,420 field of Consciousness studies there are 1731 01:10:04,189 --> 01:10:01,320 different factions some people favor the 1732 01:10:06,950 --> 01:10:04,199 idea that Consciousness is a brain 1733 01:10:09,110 --> 01:10:06,960 function or a brain body function so 1734 01:10:12,290 --> 01:10:09,120 it's an information processing uh 1735 01:10:14,209 --> 01:10:12,300 circuit and it involves obstruction and 1736 01:10:15,650 --> 01:10:14,219 different levels of abstraction so 1737 01:10:18,590 --> 01:10:15,660 you're basically making a model of 1738 01:10:19,310 --> 01:10:18,600 yourself in in Consciousness and of the 1739 01:10:21,770 --> 01:10:19,320 world 1740 01:10:24,770 --> 01:10:21,780 yeah and then it also relates to memory 1741 01:10:28,669 --> 01:10:24,780 uh information States and so on and then 1742 01:10:30,890 --> 01:10:28,679 some people uh like David Chalmers 1743 01:10:33,110 --> 01:10:30,900 um who rejects that he thinks that 1744 01:10:35,810 --> 01:10:33,120 Consciousness is actually inherent to 1745 01:10:37,010 --> 01:10:35,820 physical reality so in other words 1746 01:10:39,590 --> 01:10:37,020 there's a little bit of Consciousness 1747 01:10:42,169 --> 01:10:39,600 even in a proton or an electron 1748 01:10:45,110 --> 01:10:42,179 it's like pen psychism yeah pan psychism 1749 01:10:47,149 --> 01:10:45,120 okay um and then there is dualism which 1750 01:10:49,550 --> 01:10:47,159 is the idea there's two fundamental 1751 01:10:51,590 --> 01:10:49,560 kinds of stuff in the world 1752 01:10:55,010 --> 01:10:51,600 um you know the spiritual or conscious 1753 01:10:56,090 --> 01:10:55,020 mind stuff and the physical stuff 1754 01:10:58,390 --> 01:10:56,100 um 1755 01:11:00,770 --> 01:10:58,400 and then there's also something 1756 01:11:02,689 --> 01:11:00,780 Brian's census uh tried to explain this 1757 01:11:04,850 --> 01:11:02,699 to me but I don't I'm not not sure I 1758 01:11:07,189 --> 01:11:04,860 really get it but it's the idea that um 1759 01:11:09,950 --> 01:11:07,199 both the functionalist physical account 1760 01:11:12,250 --> 01:11:09,960 and the dualist spiritualist account is 1761 01:11:14,390 --> 01:11:12,260 incorrect and that it's actually 1762 01:11:18,229 --> 01:11:14,400 Consciousness is a relation between 1763 01:11:19,970 --> 01:11:18,239 things like between us and the world 1764 01:11:22,490 --> 01:11:19,980 but I have to look more into that man 1765 01:11:25,370 --> 01:11:22,500 that's such that's such like a Buddhist 1766 01:11:27,950 --> 01:11:25,380 thought like the Buddhist idea that you 1767 01:11:30,649 --> 01:11:27,960 are not anything but you're only like 1768 01:11:34,430 --> 01:11:30,659 identity is in relationships to other 1769 01:11:37,130 --> 01:11:34,440 things but you yourself are empty 1770 01:11:39,410 --> 01:11:37,140 yeah I guess it's it's similar to that 1771 01:11:41,810 --> 01:11:39,420 but in any case um I mean whatever 1772 01:11:43,490 --> 01:11:41,820 Consciousness is it's certainly 1773 01:11:46,850 --> 01:11:43,500 become very 1774 01:11:48,950 --> 01:11:46,860 um integral to ufology and I was quite 1775 01:11:50,750 --> 01:11:48,960 surprised to learn about the many ways 1776 01:11:53,209 --> 01:11:50,760 that that's true and how far back it 1777 01:11:56,390 --> 01:11:53,219 goes so like back to the contactees you 1778 01:11:58,250 --> 01:11:56,400 had all this stuff about uh that they're 1779 01:12:00,890 --> 01:11:58,260 bringing us a higher Consciousness it's 1780 01:12:03,229 --> 01:12:00,900 a better way of doing things 1781 01:12:05,630 --> 01:12:03,239 um linking ourselves to the cosmos you 1782 01:12:06,470 --> 01:12:05,640 know whatever that really means but 1783 01:12:08,450 --> 01:12:06,480 um 1784 01:12:10,790 --> 01:12:08,460 you know being more aware of the cosmos 1785 01:12:14,149 --> 01:12:10,800 and our relations to each other 1786 01:12:15,590 --> 01:12:14,159 um and then there's also 1787 01:12:18,350 --> 01:12:15,600 things like 1788 01:12:19,850 --> 01:12:18,360 um that like Jacques Valley especially 1789 01:12:22,310 --> 01:12:19,860 in John keel 1790 01:12:25,189 --> 01:12:22,320 is it John keel 1791 01:12:27,070 --> 01:12:25,199 yeah I always forget his first name but 1792 01:12:29,149 --> 01:12:27,080 um he um 1793 01:12:33,370 --> 01:12:29,159 they pushed the inter-dimensional 1794 01:12:35,390 --> 01:12:33,380 hypothesis and um the idea that the 1795 01:12:36,290 --> 01:12:35,400 interdimensional beings and manipulating 1796 01:12:39,830 --> 01:12:36,300 human 1797 01:12:42,290 --> 01:12:39,840 yes if Tower yeah 1798 01:12:45,110 --> 01:12:42,300 that they are manipulating human uh 1799 01:12:47,030 --> 01:12:45,120 perception and they're trying to kind of 1800 01:12:50,390 --> 01:12:47,040 push or drive Society in a certain 1801 01:12:52,790 --> 01:12:50,400 direction which is um in tune with uh 1802 01:12:55,250 --> 01:12:52,800 the themes and motifs which are 1803 01:12:58,070 --> 01:12:55,260 important to humanity at that historical 1804 01:13:00,950 --> 01:12:58,080 Epoch so for example like back in 1805 01:13:02,149 --> 01:13:00,960 medieval Europe these interdimensionals 1806 01:13:05,090 --> 01:13:02,159 would have been 1807 01:13:07,010 --> 01:13:05,100 um inducing visions of Angels and Demons 1808 01:13:08,810 --> 01:13:07,020 whereas today it's more about like 1809 01:13:11,090 --> 01:13:08,820 aliens because that's what we care about 1810 01:13:11,930 --> 01:13:11,100 with a space age and nuclear energy and 1811 01:13:15,110 --> 01:13:11,940 so on 1812 01:13:18,290 --> 01:13:15,120 and then yeah coming from us more than 1813 01:13:19,790 --> 01:13:18,300 it being external but go on yeah yeah so 1814 01:13:21,649 --> 01:13:19,800 but they're still manipulating human 1815 01:13:23,950 --> 01:13:21,659 consciousness right that's the link with 1816 01:13:26,510 --> 01:13:23,960 Consciousness and then there's the um 1817 01:13:28,970 --> 01:13:26,520 slightly more Sinister 1818 01:13:30,890 --> 01:13:28,980 um take with a Grays which I guess 1819 01:13:33,649 --> 01:13:30,900 started with um stripper but you could 1820 01:13:36,229 --> 01:13:33,659 you could push it back to um uh Betty 1821 01:13:37,790 --> 01:13:36,239 and Bonnie Hill who are abductees 1822 01:13:40,130 --> 01:13:37,800 um but with strieber especially he 1823 01:13:42,229 --> 01:13:40,140 talked about the Grays as 1824 01:13:44,149 --> 01:13:42,239 the others he didn't specifically say 1825 01:13:45,950 --> 01:13:44,159 they were alien like maybe there's 1826 01:13:48,649 --> 01:13:45,960 something thread there's something more 1827 01:13:51,050 --> 01:13:48,659 alien than alien right 1828 01:13:53,330 --> 01:13:51,060 yeah that's the answer I get to show off 1829 01:13:55,250 --> 01:13:53,340 my librarianship skills yeah yeah this 1830 01:13:56,689 --> 01:13:55,260 is this is like an OG I think I bought 1831 01:13:59,270 --> 01:13:56,699 this when I was like sixth or seventh 1832 01:14:03,250 --> 01:13:59,280 grade but yeah with the iconic coverage 1833 01:14:07,070 --> 01:14:03,260 yeah look at Nick see 1834 01:14:08,270 --> 01:14:07,080 but I've got one yeah um it is it's so I 1835 01:14:09,709 --> 01:14:08,280 just want to jump in and say it is so 1836 01:14:11,810 --> 01:14:09,719 noteworthy too that Whitley strieber 1837 01:14:13,610 --> 01:14:11,820 like the common perception of communion 1838 01:14:15,830 --> 01:14:13,620 is that he was abducted by aliens but 1839 01:14:17,450 --> 01:14:15,840 yeah when you read it like he doesn't 1840 01:14:18,950 --> 01:14:17,460 make any claims about extraterrestrial 1841 01:14:22,390 --> 01:14:18,960 contact it's a pure Consciousness 1842 01:14:25,669 --> 01:14:22,400 experience for him yes anyway continue 1843 01:14:27,590 --> 01:14:25,679 something I can't anyway yeah continue 1844 01:14:30,350 --> 01:14:27,600 yeah so um 1845 01:14:33,169 --> 01:14:30,360 the the Grays and the way that striba 1846 01:14:36,229 --> 01:14:33,179 conceived of them and now if you read 1847 01:14:38,030 --> 01:14:36,239 Alan's Alan steinfeld's edited book 1848 01:14:41,270 --> 01:14:38,040 um making contact 1849 01:14:43,070 --> 01:14:41,280 if you got that too I do yeah but I 1850 01:14:44,570 --> 01:14:43,080 moved it I actually moved it out of the 1851 01:14:46,189 --> 01:14:44,580 shot because it was like I'm gonna be 1852 01:14:48,830 --> 01:14:46,199 really embarrassed if people see this on 1853 01:14:51,709 --> 01:14:48,840 my bookshelf I also have the uh Tom 1854 01:14:53,510 --> 01:14:51,719 DeLonge box I put all my good drug books 1855 01:14:55,790 --> 01:14:53,520 out but yeah here we go making contacts 1856 01:14:57,709 --> 01:14:55,800 yeah it's like it's like a [\h__\h] alien 1857 01:15:00,350 --> 01:14:57,719 person board book like a toddler board 1858 01:15:02,630 --> 01:15:00,360 book that's such a fun book to read I I 1859 01:15:04,970 --> 01:15:02,640 I I can't tell you how fun that book is 1860 01:15:07,910 --> 01:15:04,980 but um 1861 01:15:09,770 --> 01:15:07,920 it it the the idea there which kind of 1862 01:15:11,209 --> 01:15:09,780 runs through most of the chapters even 1863 01:15:12,530 --> 01:15:11,219 though Nick Pope has got his own chapter 1864 01:15:14,930 --> 01:15:12,540 in there he doesn't really talk about 1865 01:15:17,990 --> 01:15:14,940 the spiritual stuff but the other 1866 01:15:19,790 --> 01:15:18,000 authors mostly talk about 1867 01:15:22,430 --> 01:15:19,800 um the idea that the aliens or the 1868 01:15:24,470 --> 01:15:22,440 beings are in a sort of Consciousness 1869 01:15:27,649 --> 01:15:24,480 field with us like they can communicate 1870 01:15:29,570 --> 01:15:27,659 instantaneously through channeling so 1871 01:15:32,270 --> 01:15:29,580 channeling is also a big thing in 1872 01:15:34,310 --> 01:15:32,280 ufology at the moment but it has even 1873 01:15:36,050 --> 01:15:34,320 since the the contact is 1874 01:15:38,390 --> 01:15:36,060 um lots of people were channelers for 1875 01:15:40,070 --> 01:15:38,400 the aliens in how would you describe 1876 01:15:42,649 --> 01:15:40,080 what channeling is 1877 01:15:44,270 --> 01:15:42,659 when your um your Consciousness becomes 1878 01:15:46,310 --> 01:15:44,280 continuous with the consciousness of 1879 01:15:49,610 --> 01:15:46,320 somebody else and you are expressing 1880 01:15:51,830 --> 01:15:49,620 what they feel it's like during the 1881 01:15:53,810 --> 01:15:51,840 spiritual movement quick quick pause 1882 01:15:56,990 --> 01:15:53,820 quick pause here since everything 1883 01:15:59,689 --> 01:15:57,000 everything relates to UFO Nazis so Alan 1884 01:16:01,729 --> 01:15:59,699 Steinfeld the gentleman and Scholar who 1885 01:16:03,709 --> 01:16:01,739 worked on making contact was also the 1886 01:16:05,810 --> 01:16:03,719 individual here who presented Marina at 1887 01:16:07,550 --> 01:16:05,820 disclosure Fest so 1888 01:16:08,770 --> 01:16:07,560 um time is a flat circle all these 1889 01:16:10,910 --> 01:16:08,780 people are in bed with each other 1890 01:16:13,130 --> 01:16:10,920 incredible thank you so much for this 1891 01:16:15,649 --> 01:16:13,140 comment Brooke anyway continue let's 1892 01:16:19,250 --> 01:16:15,659 talk more about channeling yeah yeah so 1893 01:16:23,209 --> 01:16:19,260 I remember Brad Steger and Nancy Steger 1894 01:16:25,850 --> 01:16:23,219 his wife is it Nancy I think so yeah I 1895 01:16:27,530 --> 01:16:25,860 I'm looking at my copy of his book The 1896 01:16:29,990 --> 01:16:27,540 Source that he wrote with Art Bell it's 1897 01:16:31,729 --> 01:16:30,000 on my other show yeah yeah Alan landfill 1898 01:16:34,850 --> 01:16:31,739 talks about the source as well in his 1899 01:16:36,050 --> 01:16:34,860 book well one of the the authors does 1900 01:16:39,590 --> 01:16:36,060 um 1901 01:16:41,870 --> 01:16:39,600 so this idea that the beings are 1902 01:16:43,910 --> 01:16:41,880 kind of continuous with us in a way that 1903 01:16:46,430 --> 01:16:43,920 they our Consciousness can be blend into 1904 01:16:47,570 --> 01:16:46,440 theirs and also 1905 01:16:50,090 --> 01:16:47,580 um 1906 01:16:52,010 --> 01:16:50,100 Whitley strieber he talks about 1907 01:16:53,689 --> 01:16:52,020 this idea that is developed through his 1908 01:16:56,630 --> 01:16:53,699 um subsequent books after communion 1909 01:16:58,910 --> 01:16:56,640 which is that um the not the aliens 1910 01:17:00,770 --> 01:16:58,920 necessarily but the beings they want 1911 01:17:03,530 --> 01:17:00,780 something from us and we want something 1912 01:17:06,050 --> 01:17:03,540 from them so it's like um maybe they are 1913 01:17:08,990 --> 01:17:06,060 they lost something in their history and 1914 01:17:11,870 --> 01:17:09,000 they're trying to regain it by you know 1915 01:17:14,270 --> 01:17:11,880 uh mess messing with us or whatever you 1916 01:17:16,850 --> 01:17:14,280 call it abducting us or probing us or 1917 01:17:19,130 --> 01:17:16,860 whatever and um we want something from 1918 01:17:21,649 --> 01:17:19,140 them maybe knowledge but that it's like 1919 01:17:23,570 --> 01:17:21,659 a two-way interaction 1920 01:17:26,450 --> 01:17:23,580 I think that's a very interesting idea 1921 01:17:27,110 --> 01:17:26,460 but what what really underlies that is 1922 01:17:29,689 --> 01:17:27,120 um 1923 01:17:32,450 --> 01:17:29,699 these people are actually expressing 1924 01:17:33,890 --> 01:17:32,460 um like fear of death 1925 01:17:35,510 --> 01:17:33,900 um you know the the problem of 1926 01:17:37,610 --> 01:17:35,520 Consciousness itself like how do you 1927 01:17:40,430 --> 01:17:37,620 think about something as difficult as 1928 01:17:42,830 --> 01:17:40,440 Consciousness and that sort of thing but 1929 01:17:44,990 --> 01:17:42,840 they it sort of erupts into the 1930 01:17:48,410 --> 01:17:45,000 conscious sphere into like these stories 1931 01:17:50,090 --> 01:17:48,420 about aliens and abductions and stuff 1932 01:17:52,510 --> 01:17:50,100 well in these themes that you're 1933 01:17:56,870 --> 01:17:52,520 describing like 1934 01:17:59,149 --> 01:17:56,880 non-humans superhuman entities coming 1935 01:18:01,729 --> 01:17:59,159 down onto Earth interacting with humans 1936 01:18:04,850 --> 01:18:01,739 selecting particular humans to take away 1937 01:18:07,850 --> 01:18:04,860 to a different place having sexual 1938 01:18:10,550 --> 01:18:07,860 relations with them producing Offspring 1939 01:18:12,530 --> 01:18:10,560 like this is something hybrids man 1940 01:18:15,890 --> 01:18:12,540 and this is something that goes back 1941 01:18:22,010 --> 01:18:15,900 into the Indo-European cosmology with 1942 01:18:25,630 --> 01:18:23,810 gentleman in school that's Bud Hopkins 1943 01:18:27,169 --> 01:18:25,640 isn't it 1944 01:18:29,649 --> 01:18:27,179 excellent 1945 01:18:33,229 --> 01:18:31,610 contributes a chapter to the book as 1946 01:18:35,270 --> 01:18:33,239 well 1947 01:18:39,770 --> 01:18:35,280 John Mack oh man this is like really a 1948 01:18:41,450 --> 01:18:39,780 who's who yeah people John Mack rest in 1949 01:18:43,790 --> 01:18:41,460 peace they must have worked with his 1950 01:18:45,890 --> 01:18:43,800 estate to uh resurrect some old paper 1951 01:18:48,229 --> 01:18:45,900 hero and stick it in this volume 1952 01:18:50,330 --> 01:18:48,239 another environmentalist right and he 1953 01:18:53,330 --> 01:18:50,340 kind of pushed that along in his uh 1954 01:18:56,209 --> 01:18:53,340 aerial incident yeah the aerial incident 1955 01:18:57,890 --> 01:18:56,219 was all about outside yeah surprisingly 1956 01:19:00,830 --> 01:18:57,900 yeah well and that's interesting though 1957 01:19:03,169 --> 01:19:00,840 because it's like when you take a look 1958 01:19:05,209 --> 01:19:03,179 at sort of like and this is sounds a 1959 01:19:07,490 --> 01:19:05,219 little abstract but the self reports 1960 01:19:10,189 --> 01:19:07,500 from people who take hallucinogenic 1961 01:19:12,290 --> 01:19:10,199 substances habitually and you know go on 1962 01:19:14,330 --> 01:19:12,300 to Arrowwood uh this uh you know Vault 1963 01:19:16,189 --> 01:19:14,340 online this Archive of these self-report 1964 01:19:17,570 --> 01:19:16,199 experiences and you see this 1965 01:19:19,130 --> 01:19:17,580 environmental theme come up over and 1966 01:19:20,750 --> 01:19:19,140 over and over again and I was just 1967 01:19:23,330 --> 01:19:20,760 reading a study the other week that was 1968 01:19:25,430 --> 01:19:23,340 saying um oh there's a consistent uh 1969 01:19:27,590 --> 01:19:25,440 pattern where people who ingest these 1970 01:19:30,709 --> 01:19:27,600 hallucinogenic substances like become 1971 01:19:34,010 --> 01:19:30,719 more a sense of connectedness to Nature 1972 01:19:36,350 --> 01:19:34,020 like the sense of it increases so like 1973 01:19:38,450 --> 01:19:36,360 like there is this pattern and then also 1974 01:19:40,669 --> 01:19:38,460 the studies that show that uh well it's 1975 01:19:43,010 --> 01:19:40,679 like ketamine is the closest and near 1976 01:19:45,950 --> 01:19:43,020 identical uh in terms of a subjective 1977 01:19:48,410 --> 01:19:45,960 self-report to these oh yeah near-death 1978 01:19:50,270 --> 01:19:48,420 experience yeah and so there are these 1979 01:19:52,370 --> 01:19:50,280 like patterns you know and then it's 1980 01:19:54,709 --> 01:19:52,380 always about like how do we interpret 1981 01:19:56,510 --> 01:19:54,719 them and there's been this historic 1982 01:19:59,570 --> 01:19:56,520 pattern to sort of like project the 1983 01:20:02,330 --> 01:19:59,580 responsibility to the outside right like 1984 01:20:03,709 --> 01:20:02,340 onto the beings and stuff like that but 1985 01:20:05,510 --> 01:20:03,719 it's like how much of this has to do 1986 01:20:07,610 --> 01:20:05,520 with humans trying to interpret our 1987 01:20:10,189 --> 01:20:07,620 world from the lens that we're subject 1988 01:20:12,709 --> 01:20:10,199 to and how much of it has to do with 1989 01:20:14,689 --> 01:20:12,719 like our peer group that we relate to in 1990 01:20:17,930 --> 01:20:14,699 terms of forming our identities around 1991 01:20:20,030 --> 01:20:17,940 these cultural icons 1992 01:20:21,649 --> 01:20:20,040 that's a good point 1993 01:20:24,290 --> 01:20:21,659 like it doesn't make a difference if 1994 01:20:26,450 --> 01:20:24,300 it's Zeus abducting you and you know 1995 01:20:29,330 --> 01:20:26,460 doing things to you versus it being 1996 01:20:31,490 --> 01:20:29,340 whoever like a aliens I mean it's it's 1997 01:20:33,770 --> 01:20:31,500 also in the Old Testament the Elohim 1998 01:20:35,689 --> 01:20:33,780 right yes this is like wasn't I don't 1999 01:20:37,850 --> 01:20:35,699 remember if this is Eric Von daniken or 2000 01:20:39,490 --> 01:20:37,860 Zechariah sitchin's whole thing but like 2001 01:20:41,510 --> 01:20:39,500 I think 2002 01:20:43,189 --> 01:20:41,520 the Elohim 2003 01:20:48,950 --> 01:20:43,199 well the brillians are just really into 2004 01:20:53,990 --> 01:20:51,310 yeah well once again yeah 2005 01:20:56,510 --> 01:20:54,000 this is this is a notion that's been 2006 01:20:59,689 --> 01:20:56,520 continuous right through through human 2007 01:21:02,209 --> 01:20:59,699 myth and religious history yep 2008 01:21:04,669 --> 01:21:02,219 so for like Consciousness like I think 2009 01:21:06,169 --> 01:21:04,679 back to uh Descartes always when I'm 2010 01:21:08,270 --> 01:21:06,179 trying to like frame what I mean by it 2011 01:21:09,830 --> 01:21:08,280 right because it's like what are you 2012 01:21:11,450 --> 01:21:09,840 fundamentally because you could be a 2013 01:21:12,890 --> 01:21:11,460 brain in a vat is how he said it right 2014 01:21:14,750 --> 01:21:12,900 we could be in a computer simulation 2015 01:21:16,970 --> 01:21:14,760 that's how we would say it maybe and 2016 01:21:18,770 --> 01:21:16,980 it's like yeah that could be true and 2017 01:21:20,450 --> 01:21:18,780 then it's like what do you know well I 2018 01:21:22,490 --> 01:21:20,460 know that I'm a subjectively 2019 01:21:24,290 --> 01:21:22,500 experiencing a thing and I don't even 2020 01:21:26,149 --> 01:21:24,300 know what that is because I could not 2021 01:21:29,390 --> 01:21:26,159 look anything like what I look like 2022 01:21:31,550 --> 01:21:29,400 right now right so it's like you can 2023 01:21:32,930 --> 01:21:31,560 take the idea idea of Consciousness and 2024 01:21:34,310 --> 01:21:32,940 you can strip it all the way down to 2025 01:21:35,390 --> 01:21:34,320 that and then you build your sort of 2026 01:21:41,270 --> 01:21:35,400 like 2027 01:21:43,370 --> 01:21:41,280 if Consciousness is inherent to Nature 2028 01:21:45,950 --> 01:21:43,380 it's like you know if if there's a 2029 01:21:46,850 --> 01:21:45,960 animal that can recognize itself in a 2030 01:21:48,649 --> 01:21:46,860 mirror 2031 01:21:50,390 --> 01:21:48,659 like is that Consciousness because it 2032 01:21:52,490 --> 01:21:50,400 has the capacity to sort of perceive 2033 01:21:54,470 --> 01:21:52,500 itself like like and then you can just 2034 01:21:56,090 --> 01:21:54,480 go down and down and down right and then 2035 01:21:58,430 --> 01:21:56,100 what are you left with you're left with 2036 01:22:01,490 --> 01:21:58,440 like the sense of what life is and then 2037 01:22:04,010 --> 01:22:01,500 that's just like self-replicating or 2038 01:22:06,110 --> 01:22:04,020 like uh even molecules ultimately could 2039 01:22:06,770 --> 01:22:06,120 be self-replicating like crystals and 2040 01:22:08,510 --> 01:22:06,780 then 2041 01:22:10,669 --> 01:22:08,520 you get into the interdisciplinary 2042 01:22:12,530 --> 01:22:10,679 science and then you have geophysi 2043 01:22:15,110 --> 01:22:12,540 geologists and geophysicists like 2044 01:22:16,610 --> 01:22:15,120 collaborating with like biochemists and 2045 01:22:19,010 --> 01:22:16,620 they don't agree on like they're 2046 01:22:20,510 --> 01:22:19,020 studying the exact same process of 2047 01:22:21,950 --> 01:22:20,520 self-replication and one of them calls 2048 01:22:24,470 --> 01:22:21,960 it life the other one says it's purely a 2049 01:22:26,870 --> 01:22:24,480 chemical sure it makes me wonder what's 2050 01:22:28,550 --> 01:22:26,880 going on like is where does it end right 2051 01:22:31,189 --> 01:22:28,560 like what are we actually talking about 2052 01:22:33,470 --> 01:22:31,199 like is it just electrochemical impulses 2053 01:22:36,470 --> 01:22:33,480 that are like selected for through 2054 01:22:37,970 --> 01:22:36,480 nature like I I incline like my natural 2055 01:22:39,950 --> 01:22:37,980 inclination is to think that is what's 2056 01:22:42,530 --> 01:22:39,960 happening but I'm open to Alternatives 2057 01:22:44,630 --> 01:22:42,540 I'm about where you are 2058 01:22:51,229 --> 01:22:44,640 yeah 2059 01:22:53,450 --> 01:22:51,239 always been strange to me the kind of 2060 01:22:56,209 --> 01:22:53,460 like material and then spiritual 2061 01:22:58,070 --> 01:22:56,219 it's like you'll see people who have uh 2062 01:22:59,830 --> 01:22:58,080 head injuries like Phineas Gage who have 2063 01:23:01,430 --> 01:22:59,840 the rod through his skull 2064 01:23:03,530 --> 01:23:01,440 display this plays a completely 2065 01:23:06,229 --> 01:23:03,540 different personality which doesn't that 2066 01:23:08,330 --> 01:23:06,239 kind of just put in a nail in in that 2067 01:23:10,910 --> 01:23:08,340 Duality like why are they different now 2068 01:23:12,470 --> 01:23:10,920 if these things were uh separate and 2069 01:23:14,750 --> 01:23:12,480 distinct 2070 01:23:16,729 --> 01:23:14,760 yeah I didn't understand that aspect of 2071 01:23:19,310 --> 01:23:16,739 it right and well and then that okay 2072 01:23:22,669 --> 01:23:19,320 that's where uh it's like if there is 2073 01:23:26,689 --> 01:23:22,679 this Universal energy field that our 2074 01:23:28,550 --> 01:23:26,699 brains are like a receiver for like then 2075 01:23:29,510 --> 01:23:28,560 okay they are it becomes complicated 2076 01:23:30,709 --> 01:23:29,520 right because it's everybody's 2077 01:23:33,590 --> 01:23:30,719 subjective interpretation but it's like 2078 01:23:35,870 --> 01:23:33,600 oh okay so you damaged the receiver so 2079 01:23:37,070 --> 01:23:35,880 the Signal's coming in differently but 2080 01:23:39,050 --> 01:23:37,080 it's like if it's coming from the 2081 01:23:41,090 --> 01:23:39,060 outside then like what are you right and 2082 01:23:43,189 --> 01:23:41,100 it's like you're a localized expression 2083 01:23:44,510 --> 01:23:43,199 of this Universal but it's like okay so 2084 01:23:46,790 --> 01:23:44,520 let's and then we apply the scientific 2085 01:23:48,229 --> 01:23:46,800 method and we can't really it makes me 2086 01:23:51,050 --> 01:23:48,239 think of what Leo was saying earlier 2087 01:23:52,729 --> 01:23:51,060 about the emergence of like radio waves 2088 01:23:54,350 --> 01:23:52,739 and telegram these invisible 2089 01:23:56,750 --> 01:23:54,360 Technologies 2090 01:23:59,209 --> 01:23:56,760 it's it's really weird that's really 2091 01:24:00,649 --> 01:23:59,219 weird yeah it's um what's that book the 2092 01:24:05,990 --> 01:24:00,659 origins of Consciousness and the 2093 01:24:10,430 --> 01:24:07,850 I love in talking about these sort of 2094 01:24:12,169 --> 01:24:10,440 dualistic rules of the mind like 2095 01:24:13,910 --> 01:24:12,179 um where you have one part of the mind 2096 01:24:15,770 --> 01:24:13,920 like generating Consciousness and 2097 01:24:18,890 --> 01:24:15,780 creating narratives internally about I 2098 01:24:20,870 --> 01:24:18,900 am I like I'm hungry I'm tired I'm 2099 01:24:24,229 --> 01:24:20,880 anxious and whatever and then there's 2100 01:24:26,510 --> 01:24:24,239 this larger part of the mind that uh May 2101 01:24:28,010 --> 01:24:26,520 tap into sort of like a more connected 2102 01:24:29,810 --> 01:24:28,020 Consciousness now that's not the premise 2103 01:24:33,470 --> 01:24:29,820 of the book the book talks about how 2104 01:24:35,930 --> 01:24:33,480 that we didn't really develop coherent 2105 01:24:37,850 --> 01:24:35,940 or well integrated internal dialogues 2106 01:24:40,070 --> 01:24:37,860 until more recently in human history so 2107 01:24:42,649 --> 01:24:40,080 as a result we had our sense of I and 2108 01:24:46,669 --> 01:24:42,659 then we also had this sense of like 2109 01:24:48,470 --> 01:24:46,679 receiving or having information or 2110 01:24:50,390 --> 01:24:48,480 Direction given in our minds that didn't 2111 01:24:52,490 --> 01:24:50,400 originate with us but we still picked it 2112 01:24:54,350 --> 01:24:52,500 up it's a bicameral Bond 2113 01:24:55,010 --> 01:24:54,360 um but like this is an idea that's been 2114 01:24:57,709 --> 01:24:55,020 um 2115 01:24:59,510 --> 01:24:57,719 I think people you know this is this to 2116 01:25:01,790 --> 01:24:59,520 me this is one of those ideas the notion 2117 01:25:03,649 --> 01:25:01,800 of non-localized Consciousness that I 2118 01:25:05,750 --> 01:25:03,659 think in our current materialist 2119 01:25:07,850 --> 01:25:05,760 scientific moment is not very popular 2120 01:25:09,410 --> 01:25:07,860 it's kind of taboo to admit to but it 2121 01:25:10,370 --> 01:25:09,420 wouldn't surprise me if over the next 2122 01:25:12,830 --> 01:25:10,380 like 2123 01:25:14,510 --> 01:25:12,840 I would say the next maybe five to ten 2124 01:25:16,669 --> 01:25:14,520 years it becomes much more of an En 2125 01:25:18,229 --> 01:25:16,679 Vogue thing to think about especially 2126 01:25:20,330 --> 01:25:18,239 alongside the Psychedelic Renaissance 2127 01:25:22,250 --> 01:25:20,340 and as people are sort of 2128 01:25:24,890 --> 01:25:22,260 um I would say regressing back to this 2129 01:25:27,110 --> 01:25:24,900 sort of superstitions and myth like 2130 01:25:28,850 --> 01:25:27,120 mythologies to guide their understanding 2131 01:25:31,250 --> 01:25:28,860 of reality it wouldn't surprise me if it 2132 01:25:33,950 --> 01:25:31,260 becomes much more common 2133 01:25:37,310 --> 01:25:33,960 which then gets onto the ESP and um 2134 01:25:38,870 --> 01:25:37,320 psychic aspects in anthology so like a 2135 01:25:40,669 --> 01:25:38,880 lot of the people who are now pushing 2136 01:25:43,250 --> 01:25:40,679 with the 2137 01:25:45,350 --> 01:25:43,260 who have become involved with like ttsa 2138 01:25:49,189 --> 01:25:45,360 and such things 2139 01:25:51,830 --> 01:25:49,199 um uh what's the other one atip orsap 2140 01:25:53,810 --> 01:25:51,840 um work skin worker Branch yeah skin 2141 01:25:55,970 --> 01:25:53,820 walk around oh boy 2142 01:25:59,149 --> 01:25:55,980 um that's all right right 2143 01:26:01,790 --> 01:25:59,159 um SRI back in the 70s which was 2144 01:26:05,450 --> 01:26:01,800 involved with CIA and I think the the 2145 01:26:07,729 --> 01:26:05,460 Army Army intelligence had its own uh 2146 01:26:09,770 --> 01:26:07,739 psychic program as well that Yuri Geller 2147 01:26:12,290 --> 01:26:09,780 and others were involved with 2148 01:26:13,970 --> 01:26:12,300 um yeah they liked the Gateway tips yeah 2149 01:26:16,070 --> 01:26:13,980 the Gateway 2150 01:26:17,930 --> 01:26:16,080 um and but incidentally a lot of that um 2151 01:26:20,629 --> 01:26:17,940 those narratives are also shown in the 2152 01:26:25,250 --> 01:26:20,639 the TV series um stranger things I I 2153 01:26:28,669 --> 01:26:27,110 that's sort of is I think that's very 2154 01:26:30,850 --> 01:26:28,679 interesting and maybe telling because 2155 01:26:32,930 --> 01:26:30,860 it's like a re 2156 01:26:34,610 --> 01:26:32,940 reconstitution of like a little bit of 2157 01:26:36,470 --> 01:26:34,620 what happened with blavatsky and 2158 01:26:38,530 --> 01:26:36,480 theosophy which which is that they were 2159 01:26:40,790 --> 01:26:38,540 very much into psychics 2160 01:26:42,770 --> 01:26:40,800 she was even maybe a member of the 2161 01:26:45,110 --> 01:26:42,780 psychic or research Society but I could 2162 01:26:47,149 --> 01:26:45,120 be wrong but a ton of scientists and 2163 01:26:51,470 --> 01:26:47,159 philosophers back then were members of 2164 01:26:53,689 --> 01:26:51,480 that society and um you know 2165 01:26:55,669 --> 01:26:53,699 now again you've got these scientists 2166 01:26:58,790 --> 01:26:55,679 who are members of these um 2167 01:27:01,910 --> 01:26:58,800 you know uh Jacques Valley and others um 2168 01:27:04,310 --> 01:27:01,920 Nolan who are have been or are members 2169 01:27:07,129 --> 01:27:04,320 of these um psychic research associate 2170 01:27:07,139 --> 01:27:10,550 I think it speaks to something 2171 01:27:17,330 --> 01:27:13,669 so I just read the book based Essie 2172 01:27:19,430 --> 01:27:17,340 Horan unbelievable yeah um yeah and it's 2173 01:27:21,890 --> 01:27:19,440 about the JB Ryan parapsychology 2174 01:27:23,209 --> 01:27:21,900 research done at Duke University 2175 01:27:26,330 --> 01:27:23,219 and 2176 01:27:28,729 --> 01:27:26,340 my initial Takeaway on that book was 2177 01:27:30,770 --> 01:27:28,739 that there's fairly interesting and 2178 01:27:33,229 --> 01:27:30,780 maybe even compelling evidence to 2179 01:27:34,850 --> 01:27:33,239 warrant for their study into ESP but 2180 01:27:37,910 --> 01:27:34,860 there is not very much evidence or 2181 01:27:39,709 --> 01:27:37,920 compelling proof that any of it involves 2182 01:27:42,229 --> 01:27:39,719 talking to dead people right because we 2183 01:27:45,709 --> 01:27:42,239 tend to think of like ESP as being sort 2184 01:27:48,050 --> 01:27:45,719 of conjointly presented alongside post 2185 01:27:48,770 --> 01:27:48,060 to death communication 2186 01:27:51,410 --> 01:27:48,780 um 2187 01:27:53,090 --> 01:27:51,420 I will also I will also eat crow on a 2188 01:27:54,890 --> 01:27:53,100 live stream and say that I subsequently 2189 01:27:57,110 --> 01:27:54,900 did a lot more research into JB Wright 2190 01:27:59,270 --> 01:27:57,120 and the experimental methodology and it 2191 01:28:02,149 --> 01:27:59,280 gets pretty uh it has not been 2192 01:28:04,970 --> 01:28:02,159 replicated in any meaningful sounds 2193 01:28:07,070 --> 01:28:04,980 um but it's it is interesting and people 2194 01:28:08,390 --> 01:28:07,080 love to think about this and it's very 2195 01:28:09,890 --> 01:28:08,400 you know 2196 01:28:11,570 --> 01:28:09,900 it uh 2197 01:28:13,310 --> 01:28:11,580 from a human perspective it's a very 2198 01:28:16,189 --> 01:28:13,320 appealing subject 2199 01:28:18,110 --> 01:28:16,199 um yeah especially when you can um just 2200 01:28:20,750 --> 01:28:18,120 you can just pay four thousand dollars 2201 01:28:22,970 --> 01:28:20,760 to uh Stephen Greer to go into the 2202 01:28:25,189 --> 01:28:22,980 desert and um you can communicate with 2203 01:28:26,270 --> 01:28:25,199 aliens I think that's a pretty good 2204 01:28:28,550 --> 01:28:26,280 price 2205 01:28:30,169 --> 01:28:28,560 well it's funny too because like we were 2206 01:28:33,770 --> 01:28:30,179 talking about like like something like 2207 01:28:36,590 --> 01:28:33,780 Dr uh Nolan says where there's like a 2208 01:28:39,530 --> 01:28:36,600 buyer biological difference needed to 2209 01:28:42,530 --> 01:28:39,540 achieve that effect versus you know the 2210 01:28:45,770 --> 01:28:42,540 goddess Yeah Yeah well yeah yes and then 2211 01:28:47,689 --> 01:28:45,780 but then we have uh Greer who has these 2212 01:28:49,790 --> 01:28:47,699 serious issues like you know the the 2213 01:28:50,990 --> 01:28:49,800 work showing that he probably paid to 2214 01:28:54,050 --> 01:28:51,000 get those flares thrown out of that 2215 01:28:57,530 --> 01:28:54,060 plane to fake it and stuff but I mean it 2216 01:29:00,530 --> 01:28:57,540 that said he's not arguing for like a 2217 01:29:02,689 --> 01:29:00,540 genetically exclusionary uh model right 2218 01:29:04,729 --> 01:29:02,699 which is more appealing to me in some 2219 01:29:07,250 --> 01:29:04,739 ways regardless of uh you know 2220 01:29:13,310 --> 01:29:10,550 yeah I mean so real cannot afford 2221 01:29:15,050 --> 01:29:13,320 but from an economic point of view yeah 2222 01:29:17,330 --> 01:29:15,060 he can't say that you know only this 2223 01:29:25,850 --> 01:29:17,340 group of people are attuned to the 2224 01:29:29,629 --> 01:29:27,530 is limiting and that's part of an 2225 01:29:31,310 --> 01:29:29,639 interesting part right and that's part 2226 01:29:34,250 --> 01:29:31,320 of something that I find so fascinating 2227 01:29:36,410 --> 01:29:34,260 about Dr Nolan kind of uh leaning into 2228 01:29:39,410 --> 01:29:36,420 this interpretation of his results 2229 01:29:42,709 --> 01:29:39,420 because he you know counts himself and 2230 01:29:44,930 --> 01:29:42,719 uh however reframes a close family as uh 2231 01:29:48,530 --> 01:29:44,940 members of this sort of exclusive club 2232 01:29:49,970 --> 01:29:48,540 and uh yeah I don't know it just it hits 2233 01:29:52,930 --> 01:29:49,980 hits me in the wrong way when it's not 2234 01:29:55,189 --> 01:29:52,940 when it's inherently exclusionary 2235 01:29:56,870 --> 01:29:55,199 like I said earlier I feel like it's 2236 01:29:58,490 --> 01:29:56,880 putting the uh the cart in front of the 2237 01:30:01,970 --> 01:29:58,500 horse quite a bit there we don't know 2238 01:30:03,350 --> 01:30:01,980 what's going on enough to determine a 2239 01:30:06,229 --> 01:30:03,360 causal link between anything he's 2240 01:30:08,810 --> 01:30:06,239 looking at in these uh these claims of 2241 01:30:11,030 --> 01:30:08,820 encounters I think that's really strange 2242 01:30:13,610 --> 01:30:11,040 well it's worth noting actually that uh 2243 01:30:15,950 --> 01:30:13,620 how put off right uh he's so important 2244 01:30:18,110 --> 01:30:15,960 to the modern UFO subject and he was 2245 01:30:22,250 --> 01:30:18,120 involved in some of these original CIA 2246 01:30:24,350 --> 01:30:22,260 experiments uh involved with uh psychic 2247 01:30:27,050 --> 01:30:24,360 research and he's a strong believer in 2248 01:30:29,510 --> 01:30:27,060 psychic phenomena and he you know did 2249 01:30:31,550 --> 01:30:29,520 things as much as started that uh that 2250 01:30:33,770 --> 01:30:31,560 investment fund based on the promise 2251 01:30:36,530 --> 01:30:33,780 that you could correctly use psychic 2252 01:30:39,169 --> 01:30:36,540 powers to infer the future Investments 2253 01:30:42,350 --> 01:30:39,179 and uh you know that didn't work out 2254 01:30:45,470 --> 01:30:42,360 magically uh and so it's like there's 2255 01:30:48,290 --> 01:30:45,480 this underlying current of the people 2256 01:30:50,830 --> 01:30:48,300 sort of guiding the most important 2257 01:30:53,570 --> 01:30:50,840 deepest elements of the modern UFO 2258 01:30:55,370 --> 01:30:53,580 culture around these things that you're 2259 01:30:57,169 --> 01:30:55,380 describing 2260 01:30:59,090 --> 01:30:57,179 yeah there is kind of a central cast of 2261 01:31:02,030 --> 01:30:59,100 characters that just keeps popping up 2262 01:31:03,590 --> 01:31:02,040 with kind of central theme staying the 2263 01:31:06,110 --> 01:31:03,600 same too but with new window dressing 2264 01:31:08,510 --> 01:31:06,120 it's more it's more ufoe now than than 2265 01:31:11,030 --> 01:31:08,520 psychic similar ideas 2266 01:31:12,709 --> 01:31:11,040 I mean like channeling channeling aliens 2267 01:31:14,930 --> 01:31:12,719 is no different than 2268 01:31:17,629 --> 01:31:14,940 um spiritual mediumship and things like 2269 01:31:20,570 --> 01:31:17,639 that it's always kind of the same like 2270 01:31:22,189 --> 01:31:20,580 current Edge science to to push 2271 01:31:26,149 --> 01:31:22,199 religious to use and stuff like that and 2272 01:31:30,590 --> 01:31:28,010 now I kind of want to push back on this 2273 01:31:31,970 --> 01:31:30,600 because I think that a lot of what when 2274 01:31:32,750 --> 01:31:31,980 we talk about like 2275 01:31:38,689 --> 01:31:32,760 like 2276 01:31:40,070 --> 01:31:38,699 would it what it always strikes me is 2277 01:31:41,570 --> 01:31:40,080 that it's really 2278 01:31:45,649 --> 01:31:41,580 um 2279 01:31:47,450 --> 01:31:45,659 cultivating uh a spiritual emergence 2280 01:31:49,010 --> 01:31:47,460 experience but that it just happens to 2281 01:31:51,530 --> 01:31:49,020 be window dressed and like the current 2282 01:31:54,050 --> 01:31:51,540 prevailing cultural norms which you know 2283 01:31:55,550 --> 01:31:54,060 frame this as contact events but that 2284 01:31:56,990 --> 01:31:55,560 you know if you did them 500 years ago 2285 01:32:00,050 --> 01:31:57,000 you would be having visions of Christ 2286 01:32:02,390 --> 01:32:00,060 right um it just it so like I I think 2287 01:32:04,370 --> 01:32:02,400 you know I mean people do make the same 2288 01:32:06,229 --> 01:32:04,380 kind of like people talk about the same 2289 01:32:10,669 --> 01:32:06,239 experience of like cognitive enhancement 2290 01:32:12,649 --> 01:32:10,679 information downloads which it's um 2291 01:32:14,870 --> 01:32:12,659 it's interesting because you see this in 2292 01:32:16,610 --> 01:32:14,880 sort of like in the the maps of 2293 01:32:18,410 --> 01:32:16,620 Enlightenment like you would call this 2294 01:32:19,910 --> 01:32:18,420 maybe like a rising and passing away is 2295 01:32:22,490 --> 01:32:19,920 what this is frequently called if you're 2296 01:32:25,310 --> 01:32:22,500 like in a particular meditation uh 2297 01:32:26,870 --> 01:32:25,320 school and it tends to be like it tends 2298 01:32:28,790 --> 01:32:26,880 to confront people like enhance 2299 01:32:31,070 --> 01:32:28,800 cognition less need for Sleep 2300 01:32:33,470 --> 01:32:31,080 hypersexuality 2301 01:32:35,570 --> 01:32:33,480 um greater recall like being able to 2302 01:32:37,669 --> 01:32:35,580 focus much better like this notion of 2303 01:32:39,229 --> 01:32:37,679 like performing at a superhuman level so 2304 01:32:42,410 --> 01:32:39,239 I can see that like when you have this 2305 01:32:44,270 --> 01:32:42,420 sort of characteristic Awakening or 2306 01:32:46,010 --> 01:32:44,280 inside experiences and meditation like 2307 01:32:48,169 --> 01:32:46,020 to have these in a meditation setting 2308 01:32:51,770 --> 01:32:48,179 that is also sort of framed up by being 2309 01:32:53,990 --> 01:32:51,780 like extraterrestrial contact like to me 2310 01:32:55,970 --> 01:32:54,000 I don't think nothing is going on I'm 2311 01:32:57,950 --> 01:32:55,980 just not convinced it's aliens you know 2312 01:32:59,649 --> 01:32:57,960 like to me it just feels like sort of 2313 01:33:01,970 --> 01:32:59,659 the the 2314 01:33:03,830 --> 01:33:01,980 recurrence of like a human tradition 2315 01:33:04,970 --> 01:33:03,840 that people have been doing for a long 2316 01:33:06,649 --> 01:33:04,980 time 2317 01:33:08,450 --> 01:33:06,659 um and also that these states are 2318 01:33:10,550 --> 01:33:08,460 frequently easier to access when done in 2319 01:33:12,050 --> 01:33:10,560 a group setting like in a song and that 2320 01:33:13,550 --> 01:33:12,060 just also tends to be dude like when 2321 01:33:15,050 --> 01:33:13,560 you're surveilled by other people at 2322 01:33:16,370 --> 01:33:15,060 your Meditation Retreat Center you're 2323 01:33:17,810 --> 01:33:16,380 going to meditate harder you're not 2324 01:33:18,770 --> 01:33:17,820 going to [\h__\h] around as much as you do 2325 01:33:20,169 --> 01:33:18,780 when you're doing it in like your 2326 01:33:23,390 --> 01:33:20,179 apartment or whatever 2327 01:33:25,850 --> 01:33:23,400 so uh any of these like 2328 01:33:28,010 --> 01:33:25,860 um Inspirations or information downloads 2329 01:33:29,810 --> 01:33:28,020 if those been like demonstrable in any 2330 01:33:31,669 --> 01:33:29,820 way where someone learns a new skill 2331 01:33:33,470 --> 01:33:31,679 that they didn't have like playing piano 2332 01:33:36,410 --> 01:33:33,480 or new languages sometimes you hear 2333 01:33:38,330 --> 01:33:36,420 stories about things like that is that 2334 01:33:40,490 --> 01:33:38,340 is that a demonstrable thing or a 2335 01:33:42,649 --> 01:33:40,500 quantifiable thing like if people like 2336 01:33:44,149 --> 01:33:42,659 shown that they have knowledge that they 2337 01:33:46,370 --> 01:33:44,159 couldn't have had before 2338 01:33:49,669 --> 01:33:46,380 it would be demonstrable what I do know 2339 01:33:51,890 --> 01:33:49,679 is in uh like religious studies uh the 2340 01:33:54,410 --> 01:33:51,900 cases of speaking tongues in quotes of 2341 01:33:56,629 --> 01:33:54,420 languages they don't know every single 2342 01:33:58,729 --> 01:33:56,639 instance of that has been shown to not 2343 01:34:00,550 --> 01:33:58,739 be knowledge of a previously unknown 2344 01:34:03,590 --> 01:34:00,560 language 2345 01:34:05,689 --> 01:34:03,600 yeah glossolalia yeah so the yeah the 2346 01:34:09,229 --> 01:34:05,699 evidence is all on one side in the 2347 01:34:11,090 --> 01:34:09,239 religious uh studies okay yes I mean 2348 01:34:12,649 --> 01:34:11,100 it's harder to quantify when you're when 2349 01:34:16,550 --> 01:34:12,659 you're doing it in like an expressionary 2350 01:34:19,370 --> 01:34:16,560 way in artistic uh creativity or like 2351 01:34:21,110 --> 01:34:19,380 uh inspiring you obviously I mean how 2352 01:34:22,669 --> 01:34:21,120 could you quantify that but but in 2353 01:34:25,430 --> 01:34:22,679 information like that 2354 01:34:27,290 --> 01:34:25,440 um I was just curious like I know that 2355 01:34:28,850 --> 01:34:27,300 um imbrogno worked with the Channeler I 2356 01:34:31,910 --> 01:34:28,860 can't remember his name who claimed that 2357 01:34:35,390 --> 01:34:31,920 uh she could uh do these mathematical 2358 01:34:37,129 --> 01:34:35,400 drawings of like alien technology and he 2359 01:34:39,530 --> 01:34:37,139 could learn to play certain songs on the 2360 01:34:41,290 --> 01:34:39,540 piano but only once behind closed doors 2361 01:34:44,990 --> 01:34:41,300 and he'd record it 2362 01:34:48,169 --> 01:34:45,000 that's obviously a bad example like that 2363 01:34:50,030 --> 01:34:48,179 you know what I mean yeah wasn't there 2364 01:34:53,510 --> 01:34:50,040 that there was a case I think involving 2365 01:34:56,689 --> 01:34:53,520 the might have been SRI but um somebody 2366 01:34:58,490 --> 01:34:56,699 said that they um went to Jupiter like 2367 01:35:00,770 --> 01:34:58,500 psychically went to Jupiter and then 2368 01:35:02,410 --> 01:35:00,780 they measured something about Jupiter's 2369 01:35:04,910 --> 01:35:02,420 clouds and it turned out to be true 2370 01:35:06,709 --> 01:35:04,920 which like that's the sort of thing you 2371 01:35:08,090 --> 01:35:06,719 would want to be able to say that this 2372 01:35:09,649 --> 01:35:08,100 is effective but like if it's just like 2373 01:35:11,390 --> 01:35:09,659 a one-off like that then that's not 2374 01:35:13,010 --> 01:35:11,400 really strong evidence because you would 2375 01:35:14,629 --> 01:35:13,020 expect that if that was a good way of 2376 01:35:17,450 --> 01:35:14,639 getting information about the universe 2377 01:35:21,410 --> 01:35:17,460 that you the CIA or whoever would have 2378 01:35:26,270 --> 01:35:24,229 do you do you know where you heard that 2379 01:35:28,310 --> 01:35:26,280 I think it might have been in in 2380 01:35:30,709 --> 01:35:28,320 relation to mcmonagle is that his name 2381 01:35:33,410 --> 01:35:30,719 mcmonagle the 2382 01:35:35,870 --> 01:35:33,420 uh actually I got it in the article that 2383 01:35:38,750 --> 01:35:35,880 I wrote um 2384 01:35:41,689 --> 01:35:38,760 uh Joseph mcmonagle it might have been 2385 01:35:44,629 --> 01:35:41,699 about him he was involved in the CIA or 2386 01:35:47,090 --> 01:35:44,639 Army psychic experiments and he actually 2387 01:35:49,669 --> 01:35:47,100 um this is unrelated but 2388 01:35:51,709 --> 01:35:49,679 interesting thread that is now being 2389 01:35:53,810 --> 01:35:51,719 used today 2390 01:35:56,209 --> 01:35:53,820 um that he he says that he um 2391 01:35:59,090 --> 01:35:56,219 psychically went back to the planet Mars 2392 01:36:03,649 --> 01:35:59,100 like 200 million years ago and he saw 2393 01:36:05,570 --> 01:36:03,659 these um uh people living there and um 2394 01:36:07,610 --> 01:36:05,580 he got a sense that they were from the 2395 01:36:09,110 --> 01:36:07,620 future like from our future so in other 2396 01:36:12,709 --> 01:36:09,120 words they they traveled back in time 2397 01:36:15,590 --> 01:36:12,719 from our future back to Mars like in 2398 01:36:19,450 --> 01:36:15,600 deep time and they set up a civilization 2399 01:36:22,070 --> 01:36:19,460 and now um this guy called Jason Jason 2400 01:36:24,530 --> 01:36:22,080 the sister Johnny's thing 2401 01:36:26,330 --> 01:36:24,540 yeah yeah big time he um he wrote a 2402 01:36:29,149 --> 01:36:26,340 whole freaking book like 500 page book 2403 01:36:30,649 --> 01:36:29,159 about UFOs and psychics and everything 2404 01:36:33,830 --> 01:36:30,659 um tries to just like throw everything 2405 01:36:37,810 --> 01:36:33,840 in in there like every single thread to 2406 01:36:41,149 --> 01:36:37,820 build up this idea that um these um 2407 01:36:43,750 --> 01:36:41,159 these nordics white people went back in 2408 01:36:46,430 --> 01:36:43,760 time to Mars they set up a civilization 2409 01:36:48,890 --> 01:36:46,440 they got nuked so they had to come back 2410 01:36:50,810 --> 01:36:48,900 to earth and then they um 2411 01:36:53,390 --> 01:36:50,820 they changed their ecosystem on Earth 2412 01:36:56,209 --> 01:36:53,400 and then they are responsible for life 2413 01:36:57,530 --> 01:36:56,219 on Earth like basically animal life it 2414 01:36:59,169 --> 01:36:57,540 reminds me of this it sounds a lot like 2415 01:37:02,209 --> 01:36:59,179 Scientology 2416 01:37:04,250 --> 01:37:02,219 exactly yeah like yeah putting a sources 2417 01:37:08,390 --> 01:37:04,260 of volcanoes and nuking them 2418 01:37:11,169 --> 01:37:08,400 right uh who who thought wasn't he on a 2419 01:37:15,350 --> 01:37:13,790 yep yeah yeah 2420 01:37:17,390 --> 01:37:15,360 interesting yeah 2421 01:37:19,550 --> 01:37:17,400 maybe subconsciously some of these 2422 01:37:21,890 --> 01:37:19,560 stories that just get like woven in 2423 01:37:23,930 --> 01:37:21,900 oh yeah I mean it reminds me of like 2424 01:37:25,970 --> 01:37:23,940 talking about Brendan frugal 2425 01:37:28,910 --> 01:37:25,980 right and coming from a background and 2426 01:37:30,850 --> 01:37:28,920 being much more as a result more open to 2427 01:37:32,930 --> 01:37:30,860 a lot of these Notions of 2428 01:37:34,910 --> 01:37:32,940 extraterrestrials and 2429 01:37:37,669 --> 01:37:34,920 mysterious forces and stuff on 2430 01:37:40,490 --> 01:37:37,679 skinwalker well it's if you're like the 2431 01:37:43,129 --> 01:37:40,500 cosmol the Mormon cosmology involves uh 2432 01:37:45,530 --> 01:37:43,139 multiple planets right so so that it's a 2433 01:37:47,689 --> 01:37:45,540 predetermined a pre-existing component 2434 01:37:49,550 --> 01:37:47,699 of their cosmology and that's making me 2435 01:37:52,070 --> 01:37:49,560 think of it's like the thing that made 2436 01:37:55,550 --> 01:37:52,080 me interesting like first look at UFOs 2437 01:37:58,250 --> 01:37:55,560 was the the breaking of my uh shared 2438 01:38:00,649 --> 01:37:58,260 reality which was Obama 2439 01:38:02,450 --> 01:38:00,659 talking on Late Late Show being like 2440 01:38:04,129 --> 01:38:02,460 well you know there are things that we 2441 01:38:06,590 --> 01:38:04,139 actually do see that we can't explain 2442 01:38:08,090 --> 01:38:06,600 and people and I was it was like it 2443 01:38:10,729 --> 01:38:08,100 wasn't necessarily like oh that's UFO 2444 01:38:13,550 --> 01:38:10,739 it's real but it was so are these the 2445 01:38:15,590 --> 01:38:13,560 Canadian impressions of Obama I like it 2446 01:38:19,250 --> 01:38:15,600 well everybody 2447 01:38:21,290 --> 01:38:19,260 I'm being serious it's so wholesome yeah 2448 01:38:22,850 --> 01:38:21,300 it's like Obama with a Canadian accent 2449 01:38:24,950 --> 01:38:22,860 like the most yeah it's so wholesome 2450 01:38:28,850 --> 01:38:24,960 yeah 2451 01:38:30,910 --> 01:38:28,860 the consensus reality right and it was 2452 01:38:33,590 --> 01:38:30,920 making me think like the uh 2453 01:38:35,270 --> 01:38:33,600 existentialists like we had Kierkegaard 2454 01:38:38,450 --> 01:38:35,280 and Hegel and like these German 2455 01:38:40,970 --> 01:38:38,460 philosophers emerging in uh you know the 2456 01:38:43,310 --> 01:38:40,980 same time the Germany was the series of 2457 01:38:45,350 --> 01:38:43,320 fragmented uh like princetoms and then 2458 01:38:46,669 --> 01:38:45,360 in the late 1800s it got unified and 2459 01:38:48,890 --> 01:38:46,679 they started building a consensus 2460 01:38:52,729 --> 01:38:48,900 reality around these nationalists uh 2461 01:38:55,850 --> 01:38:52,739 icons and it's like we still almost it's 2462 01:38:58,010 --> 01:38:55,860 like you know in like for example uh 2463 01:38:59,689 --> 01:38:58,020 older civilizations like in Japan for 2464 01:39:02,810 --> 01:38:59,699 example it's been like relatively stable 2465 01:39:04,850 --> 01:39:02,820 for so long uh up until like 1955 in 2466 01:39:07,910 --> 01:39:04,860 China same thing in like in the west 2467 01:39:09,709 --> 01:39:07,920 it's like with the emergence of Science 2468 01:39:11,270 --> 01:39:09,719 and evolution and everything it's almost 2469 01:39:13,490 --> 01:39:11,280 like I'm thinking that there's like a 2470 01:39:15,890 --> 01:39:13,500 fragmented interpretation right so we 2471 01:39:18,709 --> 01:39:15,900 end up having like every single person's 2472 01:39:20,570 --> 01:39:18,719 individual alien experience is real so 2473 01:39:23,689 --> 01:39:20,580 then we have hundreds of different alien 2474 01:39:26,330 --> 01:39:23,699 species uh in the culture and it's like 2475 01:39:28,910 --> 01:39:26,340 there's a break in it's like there's not 2476 01:39:31,129 --> 01:39:28,920 that Central unified culture almost like 2477 01:39:33,110 --> 01:39:31,139 it's like it's I'm just tired of 2478 01:39:35,750 --> 01:39:33,120 processing it now but it's intriguing to 2479 01:39:38,510 --> 01:39:35,760 see it emerge we don't even have a 2480 01:39:40,129 --> 01:39:38,520 central unified experience for if 2481 01:39:42,410 --> 01:39:40,139 multiple people observe the same 2482 01:39:45,470 --> 01:39:42,420 phenomenon like 2483 01:39:47,390 --> 01:39:45,480 I mean think about instances I mean 2484 01:39:48,709 --> 01:39:47,400 Helper and so it's an intimate alien but 2485 01:39:52,669 --> 01:39:48,719 I think this comes up in a couple of 2486 01:39:54,350 --> 01:39:52,679 LA's cases as well where what people 2487 01:39:55,850 --> 01:39:54,360 if you took like five people and had 2488 01:39:57,530 --> 01:39:55,860 them draw what they saw you get five 2489 01:39:59,570 --> 01:39:57,540 different pictures even though they all 2490 01:40:02,810 --> 01:39:59,580 would say that they saw something like 2491 01:40:04,070 --> 01:40:02,820 Ariel yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I've 2492 01:40:06,910 --> 01:40:04,080 heard a lot of factors that play with 2493 01:40:12,370 --> 01:40:06,920 Ariel in my opinion but yeah 2494 01:40:17,870 --> 01:40:14,810 that follow-up piece to his puppet thing 2495 01:40:19,610 --> 01:40:17,880 I haven't read yet I think I I can't 2496 01:40:22,669 --> 01:40:19,620 read it I I need like blood pressure 2497 01:40:23,930 --> 01:40:22,679 medication to read that and yeah well 2498 01:40:25,729 --> 01:40:23,940 probably not the article but it's 2499 01:40:29,030 --> 01:40:25,739 subsequent interpretations by the 2500 01:40:32,030 --> 01:40:29,040 ufology community who are incapable of 2501 01:40:34,370 --> 01:40:32,040 discerning nuance and complexity in any 2502 01:40:37,430 --> 01:40:34,380 conversation even saying what and who 2503 01:40:40,189 --> 01:40:37,440 wrote what the first article it was all 2504 01:40:42,410 --> 01:40:40,199 uh Mick West's fault somehow yes Mick 2505 01:40:43,970 --> 01:40:42,420 West said it was puppets not Mick West 2506 01:40:46,430 --> 01:40:43,980 saying perhaps we should consider the 2507 01:40:48,470 --> 01:40:46,440 probabilities here of what people could 2508 01:40:49,010 --> 01:40:48,480 potentially be observing 2509 01:40:51,890 --> 01:40:49,020 um 2510 01:40:55,189 --> 01:40:51,900 yeah yeah sometimes Twitter is a real 2511 01:40:55,199 --> 01:40:59,990 much more charitable than I am 2512 01:41:05,570 --> 01:41:02,030 yeah so 2513 01:41:07,790 --> 01:41:05,580 we were talking about channeling and ESP 2514 01:41:09,290 --> 01:41:07,800 um and georgiani yeah so let's talk a 2515 01:41:11,450 --> 01:41:09,300 little bit about georgiani he's another 2516 01:41:13,790 --> 01:41:11,460 interesting character given his uh 2517 01:41:17,090 --> 01:41:13,800 political history and then you know 2518 01:41:19,970 --> 01:41:17,100 writing you know a tolstoyan epic about 2519 01:41:22,070 --> 01:41:19,980 uh UFOs and aliens 2520 01:41:24,649 --> 01:41:22,080 yeah so he was one of the co-founders of 2521 01:41:27,050 --> 01:41:24,659 the alt-right he um broke away from it 2522 01:41:29,209 --> 01:41:27,060 like he says that he regrets um doing 2523 01:41:30,649 --> 01:41:29,219 that but like he this is one of the 2524 01:41:33,350 --> 01:41:30,659 people who keeps showing up in the 2525 01:41:35,030 --> 01:41:33,360 damnedest places like it's somebody who 2526 01:41:37,250 --> 01:41:35,040 says like he opposes something but then 2527 01:41:39,649 --> 01:41:37,260 he keeps saying stuff which makes you 2528 01:41:41,510 --> 01:41:39,659 think um maybe you don't really oppose 2529 01:41:44,209 --> 01:41:41,520 that but um 2530 01:41:48,050 --> 01:41:44,219 uh but he he's really like into the 2531 01:41:50,209 --> 01:41:48,060 Fortuna and uh or this esoteric and 2532 01:41:51,109 --> 01:41:50,219 paranormal stuff 2533 01:41:54,169 --> 01:41:51,119 um 2534 01:41:56,930 --> 01:41:54,179 he's into UFOs he thinks that UFOs are 2535 01:41:59,649 --> 01:41:56,940 actually ancient human artifacts from 2536 01:42:02,090 --> 01:41:59,659 Mars from a martian human civilization 2537 01:42:04,550 --> 01:42:02,100 and that it's a sort of a weird time 2538 01:42:07,370 --> 01:42:04,560 Loop kind of thing and that we can break 2539 01:42:09,229 --> 01:42:07,380 away from the domination of these um to 2540 01:42:12,410 --> 01:42:09,239 his credit he does say that the nordics 2541 01:42:14,930 --> 01:42:12,420 these Nordic aliens are tyrannical and 2542 01:42:18,350 --> 01:42:14,940 that they are shackling Humanity they're 2543 01:42:20,330 --> 01:42:18,360 the bad Nazis right the bad Nazis and 2544 01:42:22,370 --> 01:42:20,340 then there's this broader Universal 2545 01:42:24,070 --> 01:42:22,380 intelligence or Consciousness which is 2546 01:42:27,410 --> 01:42:24,080 trying to communicate with us through 2547 01:42:29,510 --> 01:42:27,420 Skinwalker type phenomena and that 2548 01:42:31,189 --> 01:42:29,520 that's not actually the Nordic aliens 2549 01:42:33,410 --> 01:42:31,199 doing that it's actually the broader 2550 01:42:34,729 --> 01:42:33,420 Universal Consciousness trying to free 2551 01:42:37,550 --> 01:42:34,739 us from the 2552 01:42:40,490 --> 01:42:37,560 the tyrants so like this book He's 2553 01:42:42,890 --> 01:42:40,500 written is really weird and very he 2554 01:42:45,350 --> 01:42:42,900 presents it like as a fact-based thing 2555 01:42:48,290 --> 01:42:45,360 but he's just basically drawing stories 2556 01:42:51,290 --> 01:42:48,300 from any way he can and I'm just mashing 2557 01:42:53,209 --> 01:42:51,300 them together is he a Channeler 2558 01:42:55,129 --> 01:42:53,219 he believes in that stuff like he 2559 01:42:57,290 --> 01:42:55,139 believes in psychics and that the 2560 01:42:59,330 --> 01:42:57,300 government is trying to cover up that 2561 01:43:02,090 --> 01:42:59,340 because it would be too disruptive if he 2562 01:43:04,430 --> 01:43:02,100 could just um spy on your neighbor you 2563 01:43:06,709 --> 01:43:04,440 know for example if everybody could just 2564 01:43:09,709 --> 01:43:06,719 become a Jedi then what what would that 2565 01:43:12,290 --> 01:43:09,719 do to our society so the government is 2566 01:43:13,850 --> 01:43:12,300 trying to have a society of peeping Toms 2567 01:43:15,590 --> 01:43:13,860 everyone 2568 01:43:18,470 --> 01:43:15,600 yeah it's like look at each other's 2569 01:43:20,450 --> 01:43:18,480 bedrooms yeah have you have you read the 2570 01:43:23,450 --> 01:43:20,460 book at all like I'm curious about sort 2571 01:43:26,990 --> 01:43:23,460 of how uh how coherent the book is or 2572 01:43:28,669 --> 01:43:27,000 readable well I I watched them uh hour 2573 01:43:30,290 --> 01:43:28,679 and a half long discussion he had with 2574 01:43:33,109 --> 01:43:30,300 somebody else about the book where he 2575 01:43:35,570 --> 01:43:33,119 basically lays out the central themes I 2576 01:43:38,030 --> 01:43:35,580 I really want to read it just for I 2577 01:43:39,229 --> 01:43:38,040 guess the entertainment value and sort 2578 01:43:42,530 --> 01:43:39,239 of trying to understand where there's 2579 01:43:45,530 --> 01:43:42,540 some forty honor is being kind of sure 2580 01:43:47,750 --> 01:43:45,540 you can use um but um 2581 01:43:49,850 --> 01:43:47,760 yeah I mean it's he's trying to create 2582 01:43:50,870 --> 01:43:49,860 what he calls like a sacred 2583 01:43:52,790 --> 01:43:50,880 um 2584 01:43:55,669 --> 01:43:52,800 mythology 2585 01:43:59,030 --> 01:43:55,679 but a sacred 2586 01:44:01,189 --> 01:43:59,040 kind of unifying story that Humanity can 2587 01:44:02,330 --> 01:44:01,199 rally around in order to emancipate 2588 01:44:04,430 --> 01:44:02,340 themselves 2589 01:44:05,930 --> 01:44:04,440 he does raise some interesting and valid 2590 01:44:06,530 --> 01:44:05,940 points I think against 2591 01:44:11,450 --> 01:44:06,540 um 2592 01:44:13,310 --> 01:44:11,460 dangers associated with technology and 2593 01:44:15,890 --> 01:44:13,320 what that does to the human psyche and 2594 01:44:16,729 --> 01:44:15,900 spirit but then Fair 2595 01:44:18,470 --> 01:44:16,739 um 2596 01:44:20,870 --> 01:44:18,480 you know I think it's just inherently 2597 01:44:24,229 --> 01:44:20,880 dangerous if you're having to use 2598 01:44:26,149 --> 01:44:24,239 paranormal narratives and pseudoscience 2599 01:44:27,530 --> 01:44:26,159 to get your story across because that's 2600 01:44:30,470 --> 01:44:27,540 inevitably going to be used for 2601 01:44:32,090 --> 01:44:30,480 something very ugly and very bad as it 2602 01:44:33,590 --> 01:44:32,100 has been all the time 2603 01:44:35,810 --> 01:44:33,600 so I think 2604 01:44:37,910 --> 01:44:35,820 um people should be 2605 01:44:41,870 --> 01:44:37,920 we should have a real commitment to 2606 01:44:44,149 --> 01:44:41,880 rationalism and science because 2607 01:44:45,970 --> 01:44:44,159 you know history is replete with 2608 01:44:48,590 --> 01:44:45,980 examples of um 2609 01:44:51,649 --> 01:44:48,600 paranormalism just being used for 2610 01:44:54,050 --> 01:44:51,659 everything like really really 2611 01:44:56,330 --> 01:44:54,060 um destructive all right science as well 2612 01:44:59,030 --> 01:44:56,340 as being used for that obviously for 2613 01:45:01,970 --> 01:44:59,040 destructive purposes but I think the 2614 01:45:05,090 --> 01:45:01,980 ultimately Humanity cannot um 2615 01:45:07,490 --> 01:45:05,100 get to a better place unless it uses 2616 01:45:10,189 --> 01:45:07,500 rationalism 2617 01:45:14,330 --> 01:45:10,199 as like a central you know 2618 01:45:15,770 --> 01:45:14,340 consensus reality slash unifying uh 2619 01:45:18,410 --> 01:45:15,780 world view 2620 01:45:21,129 --> 01:45:18,420 right and well then this speaks to like 2621 01:45:24,169 --> 01:45:21,139 like how much of this is just a 2622 01:45:26,450 --> 01:45:24,179 continuation of the Clash that emerged 2623 01:45:28,129 --> 01:45:26,460 in the late 1800s because like what you 2624 01:45:30,169 --> 01:45:28,139 were saying just then reminded me so 2625 01:45:32,209 --> 01:45:30,179 much of uh Crime and Punishment by 2626 01:45:35,209 --> 01:45:32,219 Dostoyevsky right it's the entire 2627 01:45:37,490 --> 01:45:35,219 central theme of that is that a poor 2628 01:45:40,850 --> 01:45:37,500 student decides to commit a murder 2629 01:45:43,370 --> 01:45:40,860 because he's so broke and he uses the 2630 01:45:46,070 --> 01:45:43,380 modern uh rationalist philosophy to 2631 01:45:48,050 --> 01:45:46,080 justify it to himself that it does an 2632 01:45:50,930 --> 01:45:48,060 intrinsically matter there's no inherent 2633 01:45:53,209 --> 01:45:50,940 good or evil and so the book is about 2634 01:45:55,609 --> 01:45:53,219 his internal conflict once he's done it 2635 01:45:58,250 --> 01:45:55,619 and the reality that as a subjective 2636 01:46:00,709 --> 01:45:58,260 human with Consciousness you can't 2637 01:46:03,050 --> 01:46:00,719 necessarily rationalize yourself out of 2638 01:46:05,030 --> 01:46:03,060 your subjective experience and that you 2639 01:46:07,070 --> 01:46:05,040 know it's just the entire Clash that 2640 01:46:09,709 --> 01:46:07,080 we're sort of dealing with so it's like 2641 01:46:12,350 --> 01:46:09,719 we've got this highly technological 2642 01:46:13,669 --> 01:46:12,360 reality that you know I grew up in it 2643 01:46:15,890 --> 01:46:13,679 and I struggle with the modern 2644 01:46:18,169 --> 01:46:15,900 developments and I feel somewhat Left 2645 01:46:20,810 --> 01:46:18,179 Behind even now and 2646 01:46:22,910 --> 01:46:20,820 to combine that with 2647 01:46:24,649 --> 01:46:22,920 a subjective like 2648 01:46:26,450 --> 01:46:24,659 qualitative experience that I couldn't 2649 01:46:28,430 --> 01:46:26,460 explain that would be like something 2650 01:46:31,970 --> 01:46:28,440 akin to these experiences that people 2651 01:46:35,450 --> 01:46:33,890 like what what's next is what I'm 2652 01:46:37,189 --> 01:46:35,460 wondering like what what's going to 2653 01:46:40,490 --> 01:46:37,199 happen next right like how are people 2654 01:46:43,370 --> 01:46:40,500 gonna where is this going to head if if 2655 01:46:46,189 --> 01:46:43,380 the past has been sort of so deeply 2656 01:46:49,490 --> 01:46:46,199 embedded in this troubling racist 2657 01:46:52,189 --> 01:46:49,500 ideology like Louise where do you see 2658 01:46:53,689 --> 01:46:52,199 this going I think I think 2659 01:47:00,350 --> 01:46:53,699 um 2660 01:47:00,360 --> 01:47:04,490 that's amazing 2661 01:47:04,500 --> 01:47:10,910 kill all of us but go ahead yeah 2662 01:47:18,050 --> 01:47:14,990 um there has to be some sort of um 2663 01:47:20,689 --> 01:47:18,060 way that 2664 01:47:23,030 --> 01:47:20,699 Matthew actually when he was talking to 2665 01:47:24,890 --> 01:47:23,040 um Erica Luke's recently he brought up a 2666 01:47:27,709 --> 01:47:24,900 really good point which is that 2667 01:47:29,030 --> 01:47:27,719 there's so much fragmentation in our 2668 01:47:30,290 --> 01:47:29,040 society because a lot of people just 2669 01:47:32,990 --> 01:47:30,300 don't have money 2670 01:47:35,510 --> 01:47:33,000 and there's a lot of resentment and you 2671 01:47:38,209 --> 01:47:35,520 know all the problems with that so we 2672 01:47:40,010 --> 01:47:38,219 have to find a way the social system has 2673 01:47:43,070 --> 01:47:40,020 to be able to allow people not just to 2674 01:47:45,229 --> 01:47:43,080 survive but to actually live and that's 2675 01:47:48,050 --> 01:47:45,239 what people are missing right now is the 2676 01:47:49,729 --> 01:47:48,060 the chance to actually live and um it's 2677 01:47:52,570 --> 01:47:49,739 no surprise that you're going to get a 2678 01:47:56,330 --> 01:47:52,580 lot of people going in for Fascism and 2679 01:47:58,729 --> 01:47:56,340 esoteric hitlerism if um the prevailing 2680 01:48:00,410 --> 01:47:58,739 secular liberal Society is um basically 2681 01:48:02,629 --> 01:48:00,420 excluding them 2682 01:48:05,629 --> 01:48:02,639 so we have to think about the economics 2683 01:48:07,430 --> 01:48:05,639 of it and get to a system maybe would be 2684 01:48:09,229 --> 01:48:07,440 a type of capitalism but it has to be at 2685 01:48:11,330 --> 01:48:09,239 least a more Humane type of capitalism 2686 01:48:13,970 --> 01:48:11,340 and um 2687 01:48:15,770 --> 01:48:13,980 we still need to really be committed to 2688 01:48:17,209 --> 01:48:15,780 I think science and rationality but it 2689 01:48:19,189 --> 01:48:17,219 has to be 2690 01:48:21,410 --> 01:48:19,199 we have to think about the human aspect 2691 01:48:23,870 --> 01:48:21,420 like how how do people actually live in 2692 01:48:26,629 --> 01:48:23,880 a society How do they 2693 01:48:28,609 --> 01:48:26,639 how do they draw meaning from it and we 2694 01:48:30,830 --> 01:48:28,619 can't just have this underclass of 2695 01:48:32,870 --> 01:48:30,840 people when I say underclass I don't 2696 01:48:36,290 --> 01:48:32,880 even necessarily mean economically it's 2697 01:48:38,870 --> 01:48:36,300 Also spiritually right and so we have to 2698 01:48:42,109 --> 01:48:38,880 think about the lump in proletariat 2699 01:48:44,270 --> 01:48:42,119 yeah yeah there's no easy answers to any 2700 01:48:48,050 --> 01:48:44,280 of this but we have to have some sort of 2701 01:48:48,890 --> 01:48:48,060 grounding in a few core principles and 2702 01:48:51,229 --> 01:48:48,900 then 2703 01:48:53,149 --> 01:48:51,239 try to 2704 01:48:54,890 --> 01:48:53,159 well I mean I can't really 2705 01:48:57,109 --> 01:48:54,900 this is just going to be so difficult to 2706 01:49:00,290 --> 01:48:57,119 do but that's I don't know that's the 2707 01:49:02,330 --> 01:49:00,300 best I can offer it it feels like like 2708 01:49:06,229 --> 01:49:02,340 one of the things 2709 01:49:09,169 --> 01:49:06,239 that rattles around in my skull like a 2710 01:49:13,310 --> 01:49:09,179 walnut and a wooden bowl is that for 2711 01:49:16,430 --> 01:49:13,320 most Americans receiving the pandemic 2712 01:49:18,470 --> 01:49:16,440 payouts under President Trump was the 2713 01:49:20,270 --> 01:49:18,480 first time they ever directly benefited 2714 01:49:21,590 --> 01:49:20,280 from participating or being in the 2715 01:49:23,570 --> 01:49:21,600 United States like from the government 2716 01:49:25,850 --> 01:49:23,580 and I think about that all the time 2717 01:49:29,689 --> 01:49:25,860 because I think the other thing too is 2718 01:49:34,149 --> 01:49:29,699 that you have to create a community or 2719 01:49:36,950 --> 01:49:34,159 shared identity that benefits people 2720 01:49:39,290 --> 01:49:36,960 instead of Simply sapping them right 2721 01:49:40,850 --> 01:49:39,300 like people people may hate Donald Trump 2722 01:49:42,530 --> 01:49:40,860 but I don't know man I didn't get any 2723 01:49:44,930 --> 01:49:42,540 checks from any other presidents when I 2724 01:49:47,750 --> 01:49:44,940 was struggling but he sent me one and 2725 01:49:53,570 --> 01:49:47,760 like me 200 bucks once 2726 01:49:58,729 --> 01:49:56,750 I was I was dude I was still in high 2727 01:50:01,970 --> 01:49:58,739 school so there may be there's a 2728 01:50:03,410 --> 01:50:01,980 generational Gap here uh but but I said 2729 01:50:05,209 --> 01:50:03,420 it because I think the other thing too 2730 01:50:07,370 --> 01:50:05,219 is I mean just in general people are so 2731 01:50:09,050 --> 01:50:07,380 disenfranchised because none of us in 2732 01:50:10,609 --> 01:50:09,060 any sense realize benefits from the 2733 01:50:12,229 --> 01:50:10,619 system that basically is constantly 2734 01:50:13,550 --> 01:50:12,239 squeezing us like it's like we get 2735 01:50:15,950 --> 01:50:13,560 socialized medicine we don't get 2736 01:50:17,930 --> 01:50:15,960 socialized education uh our 2737 01:50:20,209 --> 01:50:17,940 infrastructure is awful because good 2738 01:50:23,030 --> 01:50:20,219 infrastructure is communism 2739 01:50:24,950 --> 01:50:23,040 um and as a result you know people of 2740 01:50:27,410 --> 01:50:24,960 course people are super disenfranchised 2741 01:50:28,669 --> 01:50:27,420 and going towards at least you know and 2742 01:50:30,950 --> 01:50:28,679 we're also in a meeting script we're 2743 01:50:33,609 --> 01:50:30,960 also in a meeting crisis right like like 2744 01:50:37,310 --> 01:50:33,619 we've lived in this hyper material 2745 01:50:40,850 --> 01:50:37,320 precarious uh coercive Society for so 2746 01:50:42,649 --> 01:50:40,860 long that like people are I think with 2747 01:50:44,510 --> 01:50:42,659 covet as a forcing function very quickly 2748 01:50:46,310 --> 01:50:44,520 reevaluating like their values and the 2749 01:50:48,890 --> 01:50:46,320 kind of lives they live in alignment 2750 01:50:49,669 --> 01:50:48,900 with those values and 2751 01:50:51,770 --> 01:50:49,679 um 2752 01:50:53,149 --> 01:50:51,780 it's uh it's not pretty for a lot of 2753 01:50:54,709 --> 01:50:53,159 people a lot of people are leaving their 2754 01:50:56,209 --> 01:50:54,719 jobs they're moving they're making major 2755 01:50:59,330 --> 01:50:56,219 life changes 2756 01:51:01,310 --> 01:50:59,340 um as a result and are seeking out 2757 01:51:04,430 --> 01:51:01,320 meaning 2758 01:51:06,169 --> 01:51:04,440 because our culture has no narratives 2759 01:51:09,050 --> 01:51:06,179 for creating meaning 2760 01:51:10,550 --> 01:51:09,060 and yeah and so esoteric movements and 2761 01:51:11,930 --> 01:51:10,560 spirituality are very very appealing 2762 01:51:14,030 --> 01:51:11,940 because anyone can do it it doesn't 2763 01:51:15,470 --> 01:51:14,040 require like there's no barrier of Entry 2764 01:51:17,090 --> 01:51:15,480 it's not gated content like you don't 2765 01:51:18,470 --> 01:51:17,100 have a PhD 2766 01:51:20,090 --> 01:51:18,480 um and it's a way to find an immediate 2767 01:51:22,609 --> 01:51:20,100 Community as well of people that you 2768 01:51:25,490 --> 01:51:22,619 automatically Know believe or value the 2769 01:51:26,930 --> 01:51:25,500 same things that you do 2770 01:51:29,810 --> 01:51:26,940 and there's also the the tech 2771 01:51:30,830 --> 01:51:29,820 billionaires um they sort of 2772 01:51:33,229 --> 01:51:30,840 um 2773 01:51:35,209 --> 01:51:33,239 the you know like Elon Musk and others 2774 01:51:37,310 --> 01:51:35,219 they they want to go to Mars these are 2775 01:51:38,990 --> 01:51:37,320 like Escapist fantasies of billionaires 2776 01:51:41,209 --> 01:51:39,000 but what does it say to the rest of the 2777 01:51:42,770 --> 01:51:41,219 population when these rich guys they 2778 01:51:44,990 --> 01:51:42,780 want to leave the Earth like that's 2779 01:51:47,030 --> 01:51:45,000 basically saying see you suckers like 2780 01:51:50,930 --> 01:51:47,040 you guys take care of that dumb and 2781 01:51:54,050 --> 01:51:50,940 we'll go to this new Paradise yeah yeah 2782 01:51:56,930 --> 01:51:54,060 it reminds me of that you oh go ahead 2783 01:51:59,930 --> 01:51:56,940 Campbell oh just uh Jeff Bezos at that 2784 01:52:01,430 --> 01:51:59,940 uh that conference last uh summer when 2785 01:52:03,229 --> 01:52:01,440 he was talking about building the Mazda 2786 01:52:05,330 --> 01:52:03,239 space stations he like set up the 2787 01:52:08,510 --> 01:52:05,340 opposite where he said he was going to 2788 01:52:10,370 --> 01:52:08,520 entice the world population to move to 2789 01:52:13,430 --> 01:52:10,380 his space station so he could turn the 2790 01:52:15,590 --> 01:52:13,440 earth into an environmental Reserve if 2791 01:52:17,510 --> 01:52:15,600 you guys remember that and isn't that a 2792 01:52:21,350 --> 01:52:17,520 horrifying that's even worse in my 2793 01:52:23,629 --> 01:52:21,360 opinion but anyway I mean all these guys 2794 01:52:26,810 --> 01:52:23,639 are buying post-apocalyptic bunkers in 2795 01:52:29,030 --> 01:52:26,820 the pristine coastals of uh New Zealand 2796 01:52:32,149 --> 01:52:29,040 but I mean there's this great PK dick 2797 01:52:34,609 --> 01:52:32,159 novel The penultimate Truth where uh the 2798 01:52:36,070 --> 01:52:34,619 ruling Elite have fooled the commoners 2799 01:52:38,990 --> 01:52:36,080 in working class into living 2800 01:52:40,910 --> 01:52:39,000 Subterranean communities working uh 2801 01:52:43,669 --> 01:52:40,920 under the auspices of an ongoing War 2802 01:52:45,470 --> 01:52:43,679 well the wealthy and privileged get to 2803 01:52:47,209 --> 01:52:45,480 live in Paradise on the surface of the 2804 01:52:49,310 --> 01:52:47,219 planet and they basically just construct 2805 01:52:52,010 --> 01:52:49,320 these War narratives that are then piped 2806 01:52:53,689 --> 01:52:52,020 into these Subterranean communities 2807 01:52:55,250 --> 01:52:53,699 um I mean like let's be real Mark 2808 01:52:56,930 --> 01:52:55,260 Zuckerberg isn't creating the metaverse 2809 01:52:59,090 --> 01:52:56,940 for himself he's creating the metaverse 2810 01:53:01,370 --> 01:52:59,100 for the oil paloi so that he can enjoy 2811 01:53:02,629 --> 01:53:01,380 the spoils and Riches of the material 2812 01:53:04,129 --> 01:53:02,639 world 2813 01:53:06,530 --> 01:53:04,139 um and I mean this is Tale As Old As 2814 01:53:08,629 --> 01:53:06,540 Time right like this is this is not born 2815 01:53:11,990 --> 01:53:08,639 out of a desire to help people this is 2816 01:53:13,669 --> 01:53:12,000 born out of a desire to hoard uh the 2817 01:53:16,310 --> 01:53:13,679 available resources and human 2818 01:53:18,050 --> 01:53:16,320 experiences for himself and put us all 2819 01:53:19,750 --> 01:53:18,060 into sort of a scratch and dent version 2820 01:53:23,570 --> 01:53:19,760 of Second Life 2821 01:53:24,830 --> 01:53:23,580 yeah ironically um this sort of space 2822 01:53:27,109 --> 01:53:24,840 nietzschean 2823 01:53:28,970 --> 01:53:27,119 uh Superman narrative 2824 01:53:31,850 --> 01:53:28,980 um it trickles down to many of the 2825 01:53:33,590 --> 01:53:31,860 disenchanted the disenfranchised so they 2826 01:53:35,330 --> 01:53:33,600 themselves start to like Express the 2827 01:53:37,250 --> 01:53:35,340 very ideology that these people who are 2828 01:53:38,990 --> 01:53:37,260 screwing them over 2829 01:53:41,030 --> 01:53:39,000 um have 2830 01:53:43,430 --> 01:53:41,040 you know like when people sometimes 2831 01:53:45,709 --> 01:53:43,440 um they defend the interests of those 2832 01:53:47,149 --> 01:53:45,719 who have who don't have their own their 2833 01:53:49,669 --> 01:53:47,159 interests at heart 2834 01:53:52,070 --> 01:53:49,679 so like look at Elon musk's Twitter 2835 01:53:54,410 --> 01:53:52,080 replies right it's every [\h__\h] 2836 01:53:56,209 --> 01:53:54,420 computer toucher simping for him yeah 2837 01:53:58,370 --> 01:53:56,219 even though Elon Musk would like happily 2838 01:54:00,229 --> 01:53:58,380 crush them under his shoe you know yeah 2839 01:54:08,030 --> 01:54:00,239 yeah 2840 01:54:10,550 --> 01:54:08,040 like Trump hates nobody more than his 2841 01:54:12,950 --> 01:54:10,560 own followers like he is disgusted by 2842 01:54:14,229 --> 01:54:12,960 the Common Man and it's so clear and so 2843 01:54:16,550 --> 01:54:14,239 evident 2844 01:54:17,810 --> 01:54:16,560 have any of you guys ever worked in an 2845 01:54:19,609 --> 01:54:17,820 office I don't know if you know about 2846 01:54:21,709 --> 01:54:19,619 like kind of the uh 2847 01:54:24,649 --> 01:54:21,719 everyone's everyone gets very concerned 2848 01:54:27,229 --> 01:54:24,659 with what each of their co-workers on on 2849 01:54:28,970 --> 01:54:27,239 a Level Playing Field are doing rather 2850 01:54:31,490 --> 01:54:28,980 than the micromanaging coming down from 2851 01:54:33,590 --> 01:54:31,500 up top like your co-worker becomes the 2852 01:54:36,229 --> 01:54:33,600 reason why you have to work late do all 2853 01:54:38,209 --> 01:54:36,239 these things instead of realizing or 2854 01:54:40,250 --> 01:54:38,219 like discussing pay between employees 2855 01:54:43,729 --> 01:54:40,260 but realizing like these issues are 2856 01:54:46,310 --> 01:54:43,739 coming from above we are uh kind of 2857 01:54:48,470 --> 01:54:46,320 treated to see each other as competition 2858 01:54:52,370 --> 01:54:48,480 as if meritocracy is like a real thing 2859 01:54:53,990 --> 01:54:52,380 you know yeah well and this is uh it 2860 01:54:56,750 --> 01:54:54,000 reminds me so much of like this 2861 01:54:58,910 --> 01:54:56,760 underlying culture where you have these 2862 01:55:01,430 --> 01:54:58,920 sort of more like collectivist cultures 2863 01:55:03,649 --> 01:55:01,440 that are and then idealized because we 2864 01:55:06,410 --> 01:55:03,659 live in such a radically individualist 2865 01:55:08,689 --> 01:55:06,420 society with Origins going back to 2866 01:55:12,590 --> 01:55:08,699 pre-history uh you know like the entire 2867 01:55:14,990 --> 01:55:12,600 culture of Western Europe was Manor 2868 01:55:17,149 --> 01:55:15,000 Estates for and it's like either you 2869 01:55:20,149 --> 01:55:17,159 were a servant or slave on someone's 2870 01:55:22,390 --> 01:55:20,159 Farm or you owned your own farm and that 2871 01:55:25,550 --> 01:55:22,400 perpetuated this like 2872 01:55:28,070 --> 01:55:25,560 incessant expansionism in colonialism 2873 01:55:29,990 --> 01:55:28,080 there was no centralized Authority in 2874 01:55:32,090 --> 01:55:30,000 many of these places and that's why you 2875 01:55:34,550 --> 01:55:32,100 saw the expansion into Norway Sweden 2876 01:55:36,649 --> 01:55:34,560 across uh to North America and so it's 2877 01:55:38,570 --> 01:55:36,659 like in this place where every man 2878 01:55:40,370 --> 01:55:38,580 either has his farm or as a servant for 2879 01:55:42,109 --> 01:55:40,380 someone else you see these people like 2880 01:55:43,729 --> 01:55:42,119 Elon Musk and stuff glorified and it's 2881 01:55:45,169 --> 01:55:43,739 like you could have your own Farm too 2882 01:55:47,870 --> 01:55:45,179 you could have your own rocket Factory 2883 01:55:50,750 --> 01:55:47,880 and it's like it's like how much of this 2884 01:55:52,490 --> 01:55:50,760 like with the UFO thing like like we're 2885 01:55:53,810 --> 01:55:52,500 all such individualists and then we're 2886 01:55:56,149 --> 01:55:53,820 all having these individualist 2887 01:55:58,729 --> 01:55:56,159 experiences it's like there's like a 2888 01:56:00,410 --> 01:55:58,739 resistance to collectivism that's like 2889 01:56:02,570 --> 01:56:00,420 it's like on a like underlying 2890 01:56:04,370 --> 01:56:02,580 philosophical level I get a sense of and 2891 01:56:06,470 --> 01:56:04,380 it's like with UFOs this it's like the 2892 01:56:10,010 --> 01:56:06,480 culture is so nebulous you don't have to 2893 01:56:12,470 --> 01:56:10,020 buy into exact Dogma it's like it's a 2894 01:56:15,050 --> 01:56:12,480 bit of everything at this point eh and 2895 01:56:16,370 --> 01:56:15,060 it's it's like everybody's welcome and 2896 01:56:19,490 --> 01:56:16,380 like that's sort of like a nice thing 2897 01:56:22,189 --> 01:56:19,500 but it's also like it creates it turns 2898 01:56:23,090 --> 01:56:22,199 into sort of like this all-encompassing 2899 01:56:25,129 --> 01:56:23,100 thing 2900 01:56:26,810 --> 01:56:25,139 that that includes these most these 2901 01:56:29,930 --> 01:56:26,820 really troubling elements that we've 2902 01:56:32,209 --> 01:56:29,940 been talking about and um I don't 2903 01:56:34,669 --> 01:56:32,219 it's so tough right historically how to 2904 01:56:36,290 --> 01:56:34,679 separate this individually it's so much 2905 01:56:38,709 --> 01:56:36,300 bigger than the UFO subject right 2906 01:56:41,149 --> 01:56:38,719 individualism versus collectivism 2907 01:56:43,790 --> 01:56:41,159 it's like 2908 01:56:45,050 --> 01:56:43,800 so fascinating just with this UFO thing 2909 01:56:46,790 --> 01:56:45,060 it's like 2910 01:56:49,430 --> 01:56:46,800 I'm really enjoying this conversation 2911 01:56:50,990 --> 01:56:49,440 guys I'll just say that making me think 2912 01:56:53,750 --> 01:56:51,000 yes 2913 01:56:55,129 --> 01:56:53,760 so we are just about at the top of the 2914 01:56:56,930 --> 01:56:55,139 hour 2915 01:56:58,129 --> 01:56:56,940 which means we are going to wrap things 2916 01:57:00,109 --> 01:56:58,139 up 2917 01:57:01,850 --> 01:57:00,119 um before we say good night to our 2918 01:57:03,229 --> 01:57:01,860 lovely audience and this is good I've 2919 01:57:05,629 --> 01:57:03,239 been watching the numbers tick up we've 2920 01:57:07,250 --> 01:57:05,639 had between 18 and 25 active viewers so 2921 01:57:08,570 --> 01:57:07,260 thank you so much for people who decided 2922 01:57:10,189 --> 01:57:08,580 to drop in 2923 01:57:12,410 --> 01:57:10,199 um why don't we do a quick round robin 2924 01:57:15,229 --> 01:57:12,420 about what people are working on what's 2925 01:57:17,629 --> 01:57:15,239 going on what you're thinking about uh 2926 01:57:19,370 --> 01:57:17,639 Nick you want to start yeah I'm still 2927 01:57:22,370 --> 01:57:19,380 working on uh laying out the entire 2928 01:57:23,990 --> 01:57:22,380 timeline of the Lake Michigan 94 case 2929 01:57:26,570 --> 01:57:24,000 um like I said it was I was having some 2930 01:57:29,450 --> 01:57:26,580 transcription work done and I'm matching 2931 01:57:31,609 --> 01:57:29,460 up kind of the the audio recording of 2932 01:57:32,629 --> 01:57:31,619 the radar operator with the radar blanks 2933 01:57:34,970 --> 01:57:32,639 that were made 2934 01:57:37,550 --> 01:57:34,980 um I think two or three weeks after the 2935 01:57:39,350 --> 01:57:37,560 fact and just kind of uh keeping keeping 2936 01:57:41,330 --> 01:57:39,360 the accurate ones and noting those and 2937 01:57:42,830 --> 01:57:41,340 discarding kind of the inaccurate ones 2938 01:57:45,530 --> 01:57:42,840 since 2939 01:57:47,510 --> 01:57:45,540 um 1994 radar technology I guess could 2940 01:57:49,129 --> 01:57:47,520 not save or create pronounce at the time 2941 01:57:51,169 --> 01:57:49,139 so we're left with 2942 01:57:53,689 --> 01:57:51,179 you know not the best data so I wanted 2943 01:57:55,609 --> 01:57:53,699 to kind of corroborate what I could and 2944 01:57:58,550 --> 01:57:55,619 that's going into a longer piece on the 2945 01:58:01,129 --> 01:57:58,560 case in total but I have no idea when 2946 01:58:04,430 --> 01:58:01,139 that's going to be done honestly 2947 01:58:07,910 --> 01:58:04,440 great what about you Campbell 2948 01:58:11,089 --> 01:58:07,920 well I've been uh beginning to sketch 2949 01:58:13,729 --> 01:58:11,099 out another a new article that 2950 01:58:16,310 --> 01:58:13,739 um right now the central idea is I'm 2951 01:58:18,830 --> 01:58:16,320 reviewing peer-reviewed papers that have 2952 01:58:20,990 --> 01:58:18,840 been accepted for publication in 2953 01:58:23,990 --> 01:58:21,000 prominent physics and natural science 2954 01:58:26,750 --> 01:58:24,000 papers that include empirical 2955 01:58:29,450 --> 01:58:26,760 observations that support or verify the 2956 01:58:31,490 --> 01:58:29,460 existence of anomalous phenomena so I'm 2957 01:58:33,950 --> 01:58:31,500 basically kind of trying to put together 2958 01:58:36,649 --> 01:58:33,960 something that could almost be like a 2959 01:58:39,050 --> 01:58:36,659 guide for people genuinely interested in 2960 01:58:41,570 --> 01:58:39,060 the scientific study of UFOs as to what 2961 01:58:43,189 --> 01:58:41,580 would constitute something that would be 2962 01:58:44,990 --> 01:58:43,199 meeting that burden of proof for 2963 01:58:47,510 --> 01:58:45,000 peer-reviewed publication so that's sort 2964 01:58:51,290 --> 01:58:47,520 of what I'm looking at right now awesome 2965 01:58:52,490 --> 01:58:51,300 great what about you Lewis 2966 01:58:54,770 -->
