00:03:30,530 --> 00:03:28,680 but it's cute getting a look at little 59 00:03:32,690 --> 00:03:30,540 baby Leah trying to articulate her 60 00:03:34,690 --> 00:03:32,700 thoughts on the relationship

00:03:58,070 --> 00:03:55,680 always go back and listen because I 71 00:03:59,110 --> 00:03:58,080 wanted to get a sense of where I could 72 00:04:03,410 --> 00:03:59,120 improve 73 00:04:04,789 --> 00:04:03,420 and also to get a sense of things that I 74 00:04:06,649 --> 00:04:04,799 was talking about that I wanted to 75 00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:06,659 revisit more in depth so I could like 76 00:04:10,970 --> 00:04:08,400 surface more insight instead of just 77 00:04:12,289 --> 00:04:10,980 constantly recycling the same ideas what 78 00:04:14,330 --> 00:04:12,299 were we talking about in

00:06:49,259 referencing okay um basically uh about 141 00:06:52,909 --> 00:06:51,060 10 days ago an article came out by 142 00:06:54,590 --> 00:06:52,919 Leslie King and Ralph Blumenthal they 143 00:06:57,230 --> 00:06:54,600 were also the authors of the 2017 144 00:07:00,350 --> 00:06:57,240 article in the New York Times that 145 00:07:01,010 --> 00:07:00,360 basically centered Lu Elizondo 146 00:07:03,469 --> 00:07:01,020 um 147 00:07:05,529 --> 00:07:03,479 and their article that was published in 148 00:07:08,330 --> 00:07:05,539 the debrief 149 00:07:10,909 --> 00:07:08,340 showcases a Former Intelligence official 150 00:07:12,710 --> 00:07:10,919 David grush who 151 00:07:15,350 --> 00:07:12,720 basically made claims that the U.S 152 00:07:18,650 --> 00:07:15,360 federal government maintains a UFO crash 153 00:07:19,790 --> 00:07:18,660 retrieval program and that in within the 154 00:07:23,089 --> 00:07:19,800 possession of the United States 155 00:07:24,770 --> 00:07:23,099 government are up to 12 spacecraft 156 00:07:26,270 --> 00:07:24,780 he also went on to state that he had 157 00:07:27,890 --> 00:07:26,280 filed a complaint with the office of the 158 00:07:30,290 --> 00:07:27,900 intelligence Community Inspector General 159 00:07:33,890 --> 00:07:30,300 and IG complaint which is similar to I 160 00:07:36,710 --> 00:07:33,900 believe uh elizondo's actions as well 161 00:07:38,870 --> 00:07:36,720 um so he's he's made all these pretty 162 00:07:41,210 --> 00:07:38,880 um striking claims very similar to 163 00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:41,220 claims that we've heard before yeah 164 00:07:45,230 --> 00:07:42,960 um and it was featured in this article 165 00:07:46,610 --> 00:07:45,240 in the debrief so not exactly a paper of 166 00:07:48,170 --> 00:07:46,620 record for our current moment this 167 00:07:49,490 --> 00:07:48,180 wasn't the Washington Post do the New 168 00:07:51,110 --> 00:07:49,500 York Times 169 00:07:54,230 --> 00:07:51,120 um and then was subsequently interviewed 170 00:07:57,469 --> 00:07:54,240 on Sunday night by Ross coldheart who 171 00:08:00,650 --> 00:07:57,479 um is I think besides keen and 172 00:08:02,450 --> 00:08:00,660 Blumenthal probably the major journalist 173 00:08:05,990 --> 00:08:02,460 Who's involved in reporting on these 174 00:08:07,390 --> 00:08:06,000 stories yes the UFO guy that's not 175 00:08:09,409 --> 00:08:07,400 um 176 00:08:11,930 --> 00:08:09,419 not George Knapp's not the major 177 00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:11,940 journalist no it's not George Knapp um 178 00:08:15,710 --> 00:08:13,440 and I think the interesting thing to 179 00:08:17,270 --> 00:08:15,720 note about Colter cold heart cold 180 00:08:19,129 --> 00:08:17,280 Sartorius 181 00:08:21,770 --> 00:08:19,139 whatever 182 00:08:23,210 --> 00:08:21,780 you know until he's involved like I 183 00:08:26,029 --> 00:08:23,220 don't want to say he was totally 184 00:08:28,909 --> 00:08:26,039 legitimate until UFOs but he had a very 185 00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:28,919 strong reputation in journalism I think 186 00:08:33,110 --> 00:08:30,720 he was primarily a music reporter and 187 00:08:35,870 --> 00:08:33,120 like culture reporter before delving 188 00:08:38,810 --> 00:08:35,880 into UFOs and had um something of an 189 00:08:41,329 --> 00:08:38,820 impressive pedigree journalistically 190 00:08:44,570 --> 00:08:41,339 um and so I think you know rightly or 191 00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:44,580 wrongly he has done a lot to legitimize 192 00:08:48,829 --> 00:08:46,080 the subject and the court of public 193 00:08:51,590 --> 00:08:48,839 opinion because he is entering and like 194 00:08:52,850 --> 00:08:51,600 investigating with this 195 00:08:56,690 --> 00:08:52,860 um 196 00:08:59,030 --> 00:08:56,700 well regarded background 197 00:09:02,509 --> 00:08:59,040 yeah well-regarded backgrounds are kind 198 00:09:04,790 --> 00:09:02,519 of a a theme here well 199 00:09:06,949 --> 00:09:04,800 what I would say well-regarded 200 00:09:09,230 --> 00:09:06,959 backgrounds though are a theme to a 201 00:09:10,970 --> 00:09:09,240 point because the longer like we leave 202 00:09:12,650 --> 00:09:10,980 this story kind of was breaking I think 203 00:09:14,870 --> 00:09:12,660 the last time I was on a couple weeks 204 00:09:17,630 --> 00:09:14,880 ago with Garrett Kelly to start and I 205 00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:17,640 feel on a long enough timeline this is 206 00:09:22,970 --> 00:09:20,880 degenerating now as like certain The 207 00:09:25,870 --> 00:09:22,980 credibility is degenerating as like 208 00:09:31,870 --> 00:09:25,880 certain characters like Lou Elizondo 209 00:09:37,370 --> 00:09:31,880 rarer his head or things like this um 210 00:09:40,370 --> 00:09:37,380 1933 Italian UFO recovery that like 211 00:09:42,970 --> 00:09:40,380 um and I feel like and I'm I'll be 212 00:09:45,230 --> 00:09:42,980 honest like I I have not 213 00:09:46,850 --> 00:09:45,240 bought into it enough to go check out 214 00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:46,860 the primary sources like I know Crush 215 00:09:52,009 --> 00:09:50,399 did an interview but when people are 216 00:09:53,930 --> 00:09:52,019 telling me like kind of the secondary 217 00:09:57,050 --> 00:09:53,940 sources the tldr through Twitter and 218 00:09:58,310 --> 00:09:57,060 other people it sounds again to me like 219 00:10:00,769 --> 00:09:58,320 Russia's 220 00:10:03,290 --> 00:10:00,779 um been exposed to like it's almost like 221 00:10:08,030 --> 00:10:03,300 the discredited Tim good stuff like it's 222 00:10:11,930 --> 00:10:08,040 very mj-12 it Eisenhower compact like 223 00:10:16,009 --> 00:10:11,940 all of the stuff that we sort of 224 00:10:16,910 --> 00:10:16,019 consider BS now but I I think one of the 225 00:10:17,509 --> 00:10:16,920 things 226 00:10:19,670 --> 00:10:17,519 um 227 00:10:24,590 --> 00:10:19,680 so 228 00:10:28,910 --> 00:10:24,600 strange Skies podcast said that he felt 229 00:10:30,050 --> 00:10:28,920 like 2017 was a like uh reset moment 230 00:10:32,810 --> 00:10:30,060 like 231 00:10:35,509 --> 00:10:32,820 um the Thanos snap and 232 00:10:37,910 --> 00:10:35,519 I and I think I see that with this 233 00:10:40,970 --> 00:10:37,920 because you know 234 00:10:45,530 --> 00:10:40,980 post 2017 we have a ton of new people 235 00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:45,540 that were like a ton of new UFO people 236 00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:48,240 like just like the the people tweeting 237 00:10:53,150 --> 00:10:50,880 lots of lots of tweeters that weren't 238 00:10:56,150 --> 00:10:53,160 like in this stuff or interested in it 239 00:10:58,850 --> 00:10:56,160 before and it kind of also like guys 240 00:11:00,550 --> 00:10:58,860 like nap kind of like gave them it was 241 00:11:03,829 --> 00:11:00,560 like somebody got the reanimator juice 242 00:11:05,930 --> 00:11:03,839 and like shot nap with the reanimator 243 00:11:07,069 --> 00:11:05,940 juice and now I think it's called Adrina 244 00:11:10,329 --> 00:11:07,079 Chrome 245 00:11:14,630 --> 00:11:10,339 he's he's no no 246 00:11:16,310 --> 00:11:14,640 he's back he's back with that and but 247 00:11:18,769 --> 00:11:16,320 unfortunately it's like a side effect 248 00:11:22,690 --> 00:11:18,779 it's like everybody is credulous because 249 00:11:26,090 --> 00:11:22,700 ufology started in 2017. 250 00:11:28,910 --> 00:11:26,100 so the stuff like and I think Gersh 251 00:11:31,610 --> 00:11:28,920 might believe this but there's kind of 252 00:11:35,449 --> 00:11:31,620 like at a certain point like body body 253 00:11:37,610 --> 00:11:35,459 Camaro like no no like somebody needs to 254 00:11:40,610 --> 00:11:37,620 slip him a copy of Mirage man 255 00:11:42,230 --> 00:11:40,620 be like it's me just kind of 256 00:11:44,389 --> 00:11:42,240 you know 257 00:11:46,970 --> 00:11:44,399 the Believers that are kind of like 258 00:11:49,970 --> 00:11:46,980 digging their heels on this and 259 00:11:52,069 --> 00:11:49,980 claiming that it is anything new 260 00:11:53,210 --> 00:11:52,079 are pointing to 261 00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:53,220 um 262 00:11:57,110 --> 00:11:54,959 they're pointing to the credentials of 263 00:11:59,810 --> 00:11:57,120 this of this whistleblower right it's 264 00:12:01,970 --> 00:11:59,820 all the same old [\h__\h] every UFO story we 265 00:12:04,430 --> 00:12:01,980 hear that he talked about uh Malmstrom 266 00:12:07,130 --> 00:12:04,440 with salus who in fact back in the 90s 267 00:12:08,449 --> 00:12:07,140 tried to do this exact same thing 268 00:12:10,670 --> 00:12:08,459 um 269 00:12:12,470 --> 00:12:10,680 it's it's all the same it's all the same 270 00:12:15,110 --> 00:12:12,480 old stuff but it's in a fancy new suit 271 00:12:17,509 --> 00:12:15,120 and you see the people who are still 272 00:12:19,130 --> 00:12:17,519 trying to perpetuate this or like drama 273 00:12:21,350 --> 00:12:19,140 the people still beating their Shields 274 00:12:23,630 --> 00:12:21,360 about this that is their argument look 275 00:12:25,910 --> 00:12:23,640 at how shiny and fancy this suit is that 276 00:12:27,889 --> 00:12:25,920 we have on this whole story 277 00:12:30,530 --> 00:12:27,899 but it's still the same old story no one 278 00:12:32,329 --> 00:12:30,540 seems to speak to 279 00:12:34,250 --> 00:12:32,339 the little bit of the claims that we're 280 00:12:35,750 --> 00:12:34,260 we're seeing so so what he's 281 00:12:38,090 --> 00:12:35,760 whistleblowing on isn't first-hand 282 00:12:41,090 --> 00:12:38,100 information it was information given to 283 00:12:43,310 --> 00:12:41,100 him by sources and we're slowly starting 284 00:12:46,250 --> 00:12:43,320 to realize who these sources are 285 00:12:49,490 --> 00:12:46,260 Lu Elizondo Jay Stratton 286 00:12:51,430 --> 00:12:49,500 um Eric Davis so we know that this is 287 00:12:54,050 --> 00:12:51,440 related to like the Wilson Davis 288 00:12:57,769 --> 00:12:54,060 documents right 289 00:12:59,930 --> 00:12:57,779 um Malmstrom again this Malmstrom was a 290 00:13:00,710 --> 00:12:59,940 hoax it was I think a hoax perpetuated 291 00:13:02,210 --> 00:13:00,720 to 292 00:13:05,449 --> 00:13:02,220 achieve kind of the same thing that's 293 00:13:06,829 --> 00:13:05,459 going on right now which the the terms 294 00:13:10,009 --> 00:13:06,839 going around there a lot and I agree 295 00:13:12,350 --> 00:13:10,019 with it this is a reboot of 2017. it's 296 00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:12,360 the same cast of characters putting 297 00:13:17,150 --> 00:13:13,920 forth a story trying to get media 298 00:13:18,829 --> 00:13:17,160 legitimacy and I think that like that's 299 00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:18,839 the overall goal I don't know like 300 00:13:23,930 --> 00:13:20,880 seeing people on TV with ties say the 301 00:13:26,629 --> 00:13:23,940 word UFO because no evidence yeah is 302 00:13:29,629 --> 00:13:26,639 being right being given time what are we 303 00:13:31,690 --> 00:13:29,639 supposed to do I I think again like I 304 00:13:34,490 --> 00:13:31,700 think there's a distant possibility that 305 00:13:37,610 --> 00:13:34,500 Rush got kind of roped into this and 306 00:13:40,250 --> 00:13:37,620 believes all of it and yeah isn't a guy 307 00:13:41,449 --> 00:13:40,260 that's familiar with any of this stuff I 308 00:13:43,190 --> 00:13:41,459 also think when you're talking about 309 00:13:46,730 --> 00:13:43,200 like The Shining credentials not to 310 00:13:49,069 --> 00:13:46,740 discredit the man but Richard Doty has 311 00:13:51,470 --> 00:13:49,079 credentials like you could I could say 312 00:13:53,449 --> 00:13:51,480 Richard Dodie is like well he was a he 313 00:13:56,150 --> 00:13:53,459 was in you know Air Force intelligence 314 00:13:57,530 --> 00:13:56,160 and he was in this and he's like we have 315 00:13:59,870 --> 00:13:57,540 this very 316 00:14:02,150 --> 00:13:59,880 um I don't know we we're like playing a 317 00:14:04,430 --> 00:14:02,160 little bit of select a spook because 318 00:14:06,350 --> 00:14:04,440 it's like I don't like these guys eyes 319 00:14:07,790 --> 00:14:06,360 when they do stuff I don't like but I 320 00:14:10,610 --> 00:14:07,800 really like them when I when they do 321 00:14:14,150 --> 00:14:10,620 stuff I do like and I'm not saying that 322 00:14:16,250 --> 00:14:14,160 uh again as we're as we're on a timeline 323 00:14:20,210 --> 00:14:16,260 we'll see what this guy's like service 324 00:14:22,790 --> 00:14:20,220 record is like we'll see what his 325 00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:22,800 um real background is like you know 326 00:14:25,790 --> 00:14:24,240 we'll see 327 00:14:28,670 --> 00:14:25,800 does that matter 328 00:14:30,110 --> 00:14:28,680 it does I here's what I think I 329 00:14:32,269 --> 00:14:30,120 personally think 330 00:14:33,650 --> 00:14:32,279 um it matters a lot when you're 331 00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:33,660 determining you have to determine the 332 00:14:37,190 --> 00:14:35,760 overall credibility of the person based 333 00:14:39,470 --> 00:14:37,200 on the historical record of their 334 00:14:42,710 --> 00:14:39,480 actions rather than right their their 335 00:14:43,910 --> 00:14:42,720 established title okay I think like one 336 00:14:46,730 --> 00:14:43,920 of the things 337 00:14:50,269 --> 00:14:46,740 again like going back to we were talking 338 00:14:52,250 --> 00:14:50,279 about uh bottlazar at a point like I was 339 00:14:55,490 --> 00:14:52,260 talking a little bit of smack a month 340 00:14:57,470 --> 00:14:55,500 ago about Bob Lazar on Twitter two 341 00:14:59,689 --> 00:14:57,480 people popped up and the first one said 342 00:15:02,689 --> 00:14:59,699 well he must know engineering he must be 343 00:15:06,230 --> 00:15:02,699 for real if he built those rocket cars 344 00:15:09,430 --> 00:15:06,240 and I'm like so convinced of that have 345 00:15:11,870 --> 00:15:09,440 you built a lot of Estes Rockets 346 00:15:13,970 --> 00:15:11,880 well I'm sort of like My Sweet Summer 347 00:15:15,530 --> 00:15:13,980 child my house is full of electronics 348 00:15:17,870 --> 00:15:15,540 I've built but that does not make me 349 00:15:21,470 --> 00:15:17,880 like like a microelectronic engineer or 350 00:15:23,389 --> 00:15:21,480 anything like I'm I'm I'm just like it's 351 00:15:25,610 --> 00:15:23,399 like a Yeehaw thing and then another 352 00:15:26,930 --> 00:15:25,620 person I guess and this is again kind of 353 00:15:28,850 --> 00:15:26,940 what I said like 354 00:15:31,129 --> 00:15:28,860 um the wanting to believe thing was 355 00:15:32,930 --> 00:15:31,139 immediately like no Lazar is Trivial and 356 00:15:35,449 --> 00:15:32,940 like the conspiracy is covered up as 357 00:15:37,250 --> 00:15:35,459 credentials and here's a bunch of stuff 358 00:15:39,230 --> 00:15:37,260 that I'm like I'm not I'm not reading 359 00:15:41,030 --> 00:15:39,240 this but you know it's like here's a 360 00:15:44,810 --> 00:15:41,040 bunch of stuff about how that happened 361 00:15:46,670 --> 00:15:44,820 so there is a certain point I think 362 00:15:49,430 --> 00:15:46,680 where like 363 00:15:50,629 --> 00:15:49,440 and also again I take another example of 364 00:15:52,850 --> 00:15:50,639 this not calling this guy a 365 00:15:58,310 --> 00:15:52,860 whistleblower at all but the Discord 366 00:16:00,530 --> 00:15:58,320 leaks okay the the Discord leak we have 367 00:16:02,750 --> 00:16:00,540 immediately we have the right wing rush 368 00:16:04,910 --> 00:16:02,760 out to say this guy is a patriot and 369 00:16:07,730 --> 00:16:04,920 he's doing this and we found out that 370 00:16:11,329 --> 00:16:07,740 he's like a deranged right wing like 371 00:16:15,290 --> 00:16:11,339 racist sociopathic weirdo and a lot of 372 00:16:16,610 --> 00:16:15,300 what establishes like 373 00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:16,620 um 374 00:16:21,170 --> 00:16:19,440 your credibility in these sectors is 375 00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:21,180 like it's basically like they're looking 376 00:16:26,210 --> 00:16:24,000 for good Mormon boys which means like 377 00:16:29,090 --> 00:16:26,220 you've never smoked the devil's lettuce 378 00:16:32,930 --> 00:16:29,100 or said any bad words about like Uncle 379 00:16:35,389 --> 00:16:32,940 Sam but other than that 380 00:16:36,889 --> 00:16:35,399 like you could have 381 00:16:41,210 --> 00:16:36,899 any 382 00:16:44,210 --> 00:16:41,220 otherwise so I don't know we just don't 383 00:16:45,650 --> 00:16:44,220 we don't know the guy I also think and 384 00:16:47,389 --> 00:16:45,660 this is going 385 00:16:49,370 --> 00:16:47,399 um I also think there's actually at this 386 00:16:50,870 --> 00:16:49,380 point there's a lot of UFO weirdos that 387 00:16:53,090 --> 00:16:50,880 work for the federal government because 388 00:16:55,610 --> 00:16:53,100 again they don't screen for that 389 00:16:58,490 --> 00:16:55,620 there sure are and they're all friends 390 00:17:00,889 --> 00:16:58,500 with this guy it seems like I personally 391 00:17:03,410 --> 00:17:00,899 don't think who the guy is matters 392 00:17:05,449 --> 00:17:03,420 um because he's just relaying what was 393 00:17:07,549 --> 00:17:05,459 he was told he worked for the uh he was 394 00:17:09,110 --> 00:17:07,559 on the uh UAP task force correct under 395 00:17:10,549 --> 00:17:09,120 Stratton 396 00:17:12,409 --> 00:17:10,559 um he went looking for this stuff and 397 00:17:15,890 --> 00:17:12,419 according to his account he was 398 00:17:18,770 --> 00:17:15,900 approached so I'm I'm presuming This was 399 00:17:20,809 --> 00:17:18,780 um it's a lot like when uh Dr Nolan says 400 00:17:23,110 --> 00:17:20,819 he's approached by the CIA but what he 401 00:17:26,750 --> 00:17:23,120 means is he was approached by kit green 402 00:17:28,970 --> 00:17:26,760 I think Rush was approached by 403 00:17:31,130 --> 00:17:28,980 you know all all these people orbiting 404 00:17:32,810 --> 00:17:31,140 him George Knapp and Corbell I think met 405 00:17:36,230 --> 00:17:32,820 him about a year ago 406 00:17:38,510 --> 00:17:36,240 um lu Elizondo Eric Davis all of these 407 00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:38,520 people who 408 00:17:41,630 --> 00:17:40,320 I do get the impression that they do 409 00:17:43,909 --> 00:17:41,640 believe what they're talking about at 410 00:17:46,430 --> 00:17:43,919 least to an extent I mean we know that 411 00:17:47,810 --> 00:17:46,440 Leslie Kane and Ralph Blumenthal are UFO 412 00:17:51,169 --> 00:17:47,820 people and they believe what they're 413 00:17:53,630 --> 00:17:51,179 saying their story isn't necessarily 100 414 00:17:56,630 --> 00:17:53,640 the truth but they're they're crafting 415 00:17:58,909 --> 00:17:56,640 it they think that the um the means 416 00:18:01,970 --> 00:17:58,919 justify the end right so they think that 417 00:18:04,850 --> 00:18:01,980 like with the 2017 story that was not an 418 00:18:06,470 --> 00:18:04,860 accurate description of um OSAP or what 419 00:18:07,909 --> 00:18:06,480 they were doing on Skinwalker Ranch and 420 00:18:10,250 --> 00:18:07,919 they knew that and they deliberately 421 00:18:13,310 --> 00:18:10,260 left those bits out of the story to kind 422 00:18:15,830 --> 00:18:13,320 of craft a more credible narrative I see 423 00:18:17,870 --> 00:18:15,840 that is happening here again they keep 424 00:18:20,630 --> 00:18:17,880 like I said they keep talking about how 425 00:18:22,490 --> 00:18:20,640 credible this man is and 426 00:18:24,169 --> 00:18:22,500 um you know his service record and all 427 00:18:26,210 --> 00:18:24,179 these things and I think all that's kind 428 00:18:28,430 --> 00:18:26,220 of a distraction because what's he 429 00:18:31,010 --> 00:18:28,440 saying he's saying that beings are 430 00:18:33,409 --> 00:18:31,020 coming here from another dimension and 431 00:18:36,650 --> 00:18:33,419 and killing people right that's one of 432 00:18:41,289 --> 00:18:36,660 the claims yeah um that that how many 433 00:18:43,430 --> 00:18:41,299 crashes do we have uh 12 UFO crafts 434 00:18:44,510 --> 00:18:43,440 Mick West made a really interesting 435 00:18:47,810 --> 00:18:44,520 point 436 00:18:49,970 --> 00:18:47,820 um that like you think about how many 437 00:18:50,930 --> 00:18:49,980 plane crashes we have here on Earth a 438 00:18:54,590 --> 00:18:50,940 year 439 00:18:57,169 --> 00:18:54,600 you know thousands and thousands of 440 00:18:58,850 --> 00:18:57,179 planes in the sky at any moment you know 441 00:19:01,130 --> 00:18:58,860 every day 442 00:19:03,110 --> 00:19:01,140 these these Advanced aliens that are 443 00:19:05,270 --> 00:19:03,120 coming here have like a worse safety 444 00:19:07,549 --> 00:19:05,280 record than us somehow these things are 445 00:19:09,950 --> 00:19:07,559 constantly great thing to say about this 446 00:19:12,890 --> 00:19:09,960 though which is if we take a step back 447 00:19:17,090 --> 00:19:12,900 from this idea 448 00:19:18,950 --> 00:19:17,100 um that oh it's uh the greatest can't 449 00:19:20,630 --> 00:19:18,960 control their flying saucers and they 450 00:19:22,430 --> 00:19:20,640 just keep crashing into like World 451 00:19:26,210 --> 00:19:22,440 Nevada 452 00:19:28,730 --> 00:19:26,220 um but I'm inclined to think or believe 453 00:19:30,289 --> 00:19:28,740 um is if you do 454 00:19:32,810 --> 00:19:30,299 how do I put this 455 00:19:35,330 --> 00:19:32,820 the framing I would approach this with 456 00:19:36,830 --> 00:19:35,340 and again my standard lead disclaimer of 457 00:19:38,690 --> 00:19:36,840 let's engage with ideas we don't 458 00:19:40,730 --> 00:19:38,700 necessarily agree with or believe but 459 00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:40,740 like actually talk about things all 460 00:19:46,970 --> 00:19:44,520 right engage me yes Nick I'm about to 461 00:19:49,549 --> 00:19:46,980 engage you man let's go um this idea 462 00:19:51,289 --> 00:19:49,559 that these crashes are actual deliberate 463 00:19:55,310 --> 00:19:51,299 control mechanisms that are meant to 464 00:19:57,409 --> 00:19:55,320 introduce and Sway and compel the 465 00:19:59,930 --> 00:19:57,419 trajectory of humanity or particular 466 00:20:02,110 --> 00:19:59,940 parts of humanity in a very specific 467 00:20:04,430 --> 00:20:02,120 Direction yeah 468 00:20:06,470 --> 00:20:04,440 this is the valet thing this is kind of 469 00:20:08,750 --> 00:20:06,480 the Jacques not this is Jacques valet 470 00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:08,760 but also a little bit John Keel 471 00:20:12,710 --> 00:20:11,220 um but this idea that these are very 472 00:20:16,789 --> 00:20:12,720 deliberate 473 00:20:19,789 --> 00:20:16,799 and intentional insertions of disruptive 474 00:20:22,130 --> 00:20:19,799 events into human history meant to 475 00:20:24,890 --> 00:20:22,140 compel the progression or trajectory of 476 00:20:27,890 --> 00:20:24,900 humanity towards a particular outcome or 477 00:20:30,289 --> 00:20:27,900 with a particular teleology in mind 478 00:20:30,830 --> 00:20:30,299 um and that it is 479 00:20:36,890 --> 00:20:30,840 um 480 00:20:38,330 --> 00:20:36,900 that we just are like man that sucks 481 00:20:39,950 --> 00:20:38,340 they can't fly their flying saucers 482 00:20:42,470 --> 00:20:39,960 right when it's actually something much 483 00:20:43,909 --> 00:20:42,480 larger going on in terms of 484 00:20:50,930 --> 00:20:43,919 um 485 00:20:52,909 --> 00:20:50,940 ask you this since a lot of these 486 00:20:55,430 --> 00:20:52,919 crashes that we all know in the lore and 487 00:20:59,210 --> 00:20:55,440 what is still being pushed happened 488 00:21:02,870 --> 00:20:59,220 nearly 80 years ago what do you suspect 489 00:21:04,070 --> 00:21:02,880 that that intervention uh achieved in 490 00:21:07,370 --> 00:21:04,080 any way 491 00:21:08,750 --> 00:21:07,380 sure so it's a really good question 492 00:21:09,650 --> 00:21:08,760 um I'm just gonna answer totally off the 493 00:21:11,810 --> 00:21:09,660 cuff 494 00:21:14,450 --> 00:21:11,820 um you know there's definitely arguments 495 00:21:16,370 --> 00:21:14,460 about introducing or seeding Humanity 496 00:21:17,750 --> 00:21:16,380 with new technology I saw Duncan made a 497 00:21:19,490 --> 00:21:17,760 mention of this 498 00:21:20,810 --> 00:21:19,500 um because that's always been Bigelow's 499 00:21:22,970 --> 00:21:20,820 Theory that's also something you heard 500 00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:22,980 from Philip Corso the day after Roswell 501 00:21:28,190 --> 00:21:24,960 like this introduced basically like 502 00:21:29,810 --> 00:21:28,200 micro Computing fiber optics Etc 503 00:21:33,710 --> 00:21:29,820 um but so I would I would actually go a 504 00:21:36,350 --> 00:21:33,720 step further or a step into the more 505 00:21:39,830 --> 00:21:36,360 abstract which is what it has done as 506 00:21:43,549 --> 00:21:39,840 well is it has sparked the popular 507 00:21:46,430 --> 00:21:43,559 imagination in very interesting ways 508 00:21:48,289 --> 00:21:46,440 that other events have not in that that 509 00:21:51,289 --> 00:21:48,299 opening of the mind or that opening of 510 00:21:53,870 --> 00:21:51,299 the public imagination in turn has a 511 00:21:55,789 --> 00:21:53,880 ripple effect in terms of our own 512 00:21:57,649 --> 00:21:55,799 Innovation both 513 00:21:59,090 --> 00:21:57,659 um in straight creativity and also in 514 00:22:02,510 --> 00:21:59,100 technology 515 00:22:04,610 --> 00:22:02,520 like as these ideas basically 516 00:22:06,529 --> 00:22:04,620 um it's 517 00:22:08,630 --> 00:22:06,539 it's kind of like the opposite of Mark 518 00:22:10,909 --> 00:22:08,640 Fisher's thesis and capitalist realism 519 00:22:13,549 --> 00:22:10,919 where capitalism basically strictures 520 00:22:16,250 --> 00:22:13,559 and makes brittle the creative impulse 521 00:22:18,230 --> 00:22:16,260 because it prevents the consideration of 522 00:22:19,730 --> 00:22:18,240 anything outside of capitalism right 523 00:22:24,830 --> 00:22:19,740 this is like the reverse like this 524 00:22:26,990 --> 00:22:24,840 introduces a a more Rich ground for 525 00:22:29,090 --> 00:22:27,000 Innovative and creative thought that 526 00:22:32,149 --> 00:22:29,100 otherwise would have been 527 00:22:33,950 --> 00:22:32,159 um maybe not emerged organically I think 528 00:22:35,570 --> 00:22:33,960 that's interesting because like you and 529 00:22:36,830 --> 00:22:35,580 I have both seen 530 00:22:39,950 --> 00:22:36,840 um just in the stuff that we've talked 531 00:22:42,470 --> 00:22:39,960 about that um this UFO phenomena kind of 532 00:22:44,270 --> 00:22:42,480 comes after our creativity and 533 00:22:46,310 --> 00:22:44,280 Innovation you know we come up with 534 00:22:49,370 --> 00:22:46,320 these concepts of like 535 00:22:51,710 --> 00:22:49,380 Life on Mars until we get out there we 536 00:22:52,909 --> 00:22:51,720 uh you know we did that whole thing on 537 00:22:55,190 --> 00:22:52,919 vehicle interference which someone 538 00:22:57,529 --> 00:22:55,200 mentioned in the chat I mean we saw kind 539 00:23:00,049 --> 00:22:57,539 of the cultural Roots where those came 540 00:23:02,810 --> 00:23:00,059 from so it's almost like these these 541 00:23:05,029 --> 00:23:02,820 Innovations and stuff precede them it 542 00:23:07,850 --> 00:23:05,039 might so I disagree with you completely 543 00:23:09,950 --> 00:23:07,860 right yeah no this is good though right 544 00:23:12,830 --> 00:23:09,960 you're making me think about this in a 545 00:23:16,310 --> 00:23:12,840 new way I think the other like the other 546 00:23:18,770 --> 00:23:16,320 issue for me is this goes back to my 547 00:23:21,169 --> 00:23:18,780 whole like nobody knows anything it's 548 00:23:23,270 --> 00:23:21,179 great to say like but it's great to say 549 00:23:25,970 --> 00:23:23,280 like we had 550 00:23:28,490 --> 00:23:25,980 um like the aliens gave us the microwave 551 00:23:30,470 --> 00:23:28,500 oven until you start getting into like 552 00:23:32,930 --> 00:23:30,480 if unless you're like a big enough nerd 553 00:23:34,730 --> 00:23:32,940 to like read about how how these 554 00:23:36,590 --> 00:23:34,740 Technologies evolved because you're like 555 00:23:39,770 --> 00:23:36,600 you know reading the history of the 556 00:23:41,930 --> 00:23:39,780 computer like Wikipedia entry I got that 557 00:23:44,270 --> 00:23:41,940 um Bill Rose book on flying saucer 558 00:23:46,909 --> 00:23:44,280 shaped aircraft finally 559 00:23:48,950 --> 00:23:46,919 um and bills Bill's thing was that he 560 00:23:51,409 --> 00:23:48,960 thinks again that the actually was like 561 00:23:53,630 --> 00:23:51,419 the other way like the UFO phenomenon 562 00:23:55,549 --> 00:23:53,640 sees the imagination of so many people 563 00:23:57,529 --> 00:23:55,559 that these guys were like let's try to 564 00:24:00,409 --> 00:23:57,539 make this work like let's try to make 565 00:24:02,570 --> 00:24:00,419 that we we reduce and but on the other 566 00:24:04,490 --> 00:24:02,580 hand it was like nobody could like 567 00:24:07,130 --> 00:24:04,500 there's a million you know there's a 568 00:24:09,409 --> 00:24:07,140 bunch of uh saucer-shaped 569 00:24:12,770 --> 00:24:09,419 um craft that never like that's not the 570 00:24:14,750 --> 00:24:12,780 predominant the predominant thing other 571 00:24:17,570 --> 00:24:14,760 things I think the oh the thing that's 572 00:24:19,490 --> 00:24:17,580 been getting me lately is what we what 573 00:24:22,789 --> 00:24:19,500 in the like the Mythos of this we 574 00:24:24,590 --> 00:24:22,799 discard and what we ignore and I think 575 00:24:26,510 --> 00:24:24,600 um like one of the discard things so I 576 00:24:28,370 --> 00:24:26,520 had a weird brain fart and was thinking 577 00:24:31,070 --> 00:24:28,380 just out of the blue about Glen Campbell 578 00:24:36,470 --> 00:24:31,080 and the Groom Lake Desert Rat or maybe 579 00:24:41,690 --> 00:24:38,750 there was a guy who was a prominent 580 00:24:43,730 --> 00:24:41,700 figure in ufology in the like early to 581 00:24:45,649 --> 00:24:43,740 mid 90s named with Glenn Campbell he 582 00:24:50,450 --> 00:24:45,659 lived in Rachel Nevada which is right 583 00:24:52,310 --> 00:24:50,460 out by Area 51 and he was involved in 584 00:24:54,169 --> 00:24:52,320 this early it was a list serve 585 00:24:57,890 --> 00:24:54,179 newsletter for those of you it's kind of 586 00:24:59,630 --> 00:24:57,900 a Proto pre-web internet mailing list 587 00:25:02,270 --> 00:24:59,640 um based thing where he would 588 00:25:04,970 --> 00:25:02,280 disseminate this stuff he was he wrote a 589 00:25:07,250 --> 00:25:04,980 lot about Bob Lazar really early because 590 00:25:09,409 --> 00:25:07,260 he was out there when that stuff was 591 00:25:10,970 --> 00:25:09,419 happening and I assume that big 592 00:25:13,330 --> 00:25:10,980 intersection with Art Bell because Art 593 00:25:16,669 --> 00:25:13,340 Bell was out there and then 594 00:25:19,490 --> 00:25:16,679 yeah and those guys like Glenn passed 595 00:25:23,570 --> 00:25:19,500 away I think three or four years ago 596 00:25:26,990 --> 00:25:23,580 um but he he did this this and it I 597 00:25:29,149 --> 00:25:27,000 think he ran for X number of issues um 598 00:25:31,010 --> 00:25:29,159 he moved it to the web eventually but 599 00:25:34,070 --> 00:25:31,020 like one of Glenn's things was he 600 00:25:36,409 --> 00:25:34,080 allegedly had contact with another 601 00:25:38,990 --> 00:25:36,419 um researcher who had worked on the same 602 00:25:41,870 --> 00:25:39,000 program that Lazar had who was just 603 00:25:44,510 --> 00:25:41,880 going by the pseudonym j-rod 2 and 604 00:25:48,529 --> 00:25:44,520 j-rod2 there was j-rod one who was a 605 00:25:50,810 --> 00:25:48,539 legitimate gray in this in this step in 606 00:25:53,390 --> 00:25:50,820 extra biological entity I've covered a 607 00:25:55,310 --> 00:25:53,400 lot of those he was an Ebe and he gave 608 00:25:57,710 --> 00:25:55,320 them a bunch of he was working on they 609 00:25:59,870 --> 00:25:57,720 built a a flight simulator for the sport 610 00:26:01,310 --> 00:25:59,880 model but the flight simulator was 611 00:26:04,010 --> 00:26:01,320 really like it worked on the same 612 00:26:07,370 --> 00:26:04,020 physics it was just on a big robot arm 613 00:26:09,710 --> 00:26:07,380 to train U.S Pilots to fly like the 614 00:26:10,789 --> 00:26:09,720 Lazar sport model and I was just 615 00:26:13,250 --> 00:26:10,799 thinking about this because you know 616 00:26:15,850 --> 00:26:13,260 when when again when somebody when the 617 00:26:18,110 --> 00:26:15,860 animator juice kind of flew through 618 00:26:20,330 --> 00:26:18,120 flowed through ufology and got to Bob 619 00:26:22,850 --> 00:26:20,340 Lazar like I can't find anything about 620 00:26:26,330 --> 00:26:22,860 j-rod too he'd probably be dead by now 621 00:26:28,909 --> 00:26:26,340 because he was in his 70s in the in like 622 00:26:30,769 --> 00:26:28,919 1994 when Glenn was writing this he 623 00:26:32,510 --> 00:26:30,779 could still be alive but 624 00:26:34,370 --> 00:26:32,520 um it seems unlikely and it's just but 625 00:26:37,430 --> 00:26:34,380 it's like that's a discarded piece of 626 00:26:39,289 --> 00:26:37,440 this another like weird thing now the 627 00:26:40,750 --> 00:26:39,299 one thing that has happened between a 628 00:26:44,769 --> 00:26:40,760 combination of this stuff and 629 00:26:48,230 --> 00:26:44,779 unfortunately uh with uh 630 00:26:50,090 --> 00:26:48,240 yeah Jeff ebe1 died June 18th but 631 00:26:51,710 --> 00:26:50,100 where's EV E2 that's we're asking about 632 00:26:56,090 --> 00:26:51,720 yeah 633 00:26:57,649 --> 00:26:56,100 um straight uh straight um 634 00:26:59,269 --> 00:26:57,659 to discredit 635 00:27:00,890 --> 00:26:59,279 um now discredited Tweeter Whitley 636 00:27:02,990 --> 00:27:00,900 Schreiber 637 00:27:04,490 --> 00:27:03,000 um we have like I think one of the 638 00:27:08,630 --> 00:27:04,500 things that happens with all this stuff 639 00:27:14,570 --> 00:27:08,640 is the Mythos paves over the evidence 640 00:27:18,890 --> 00:27:14,580 the evidence being the reports of the um 641 00:27:20,450 --> 00:27:18,900 sightings I was at uh I think I told you 642 00:27:23,810 --> 00:27:20,460 guys this I was a small town monster 643 00:27:25,909 --> 00:27:23,820 Fest a weekend ago so Stan Gordon is 644 00:27:29,149 --> 00:27:25,919 there for those that don't know Stan 645 00:27:31,490 --> 00:27:29,159 Gordon is a Pennsylvania UFO and 40 in 646 00:27:34,909 --> 00:27:31,500 researcher he's still active 647 00:27:39,950 --> 00:27:34,919 um and there was a a flap in the early 648 00:27:42,649 --> 00:27:39,960 70s in um Western PA that 649 00:27:43,789 --> 00:27:42,659 um was a UFO flat but also coincided 650 00:27:46,130 --> 00:27:43,799 with a lot of 651 00:27:49,549 --> 00:27:46,140 um Bigfoot type creatures and General 652 00:27:51,470 --> 00:27:49,559 High strangeness and one of the things 653 00:27:54,110 --> 00:27:51,480 that I realized I'm so I'm reading 654 00:27:56,269 --> 00:27:54,120 secret Invasion this is Stan Gordon and 655 00:27:58,310 --> 00:27:56,279 a lot of it it's I don't say it's it's 656 00:27:59,870 --> 00:27:58,320 not dry but it's not a narrative he's 657 00:28:01,730 --> 00:27:59,880 publishing his like these are his 658 00:28:04,850 --> 00:28:01,740 reports he's just slipping through this 659 00:28:06,409 --> 00:28:04,860 happen the honest idea to visualize like 660 00:28:09,110 --> 00:28:06,419 I want to make a diagram of everything 661 00:28:12,409 --> 00:28:09,120 that you can put out because we have 662 00:28:16,510 --> 00:28:12,419 this very like we have this very 663 00:28:21,549 --> 00:28:19,850 Mythos based idea of like the the 664 00:28:25,730 --> 00:28:21,559 physical 665 00:28:27,590 --> 00:28:25,740 saucer craft the gray alien but it's 666 00:28:29,510 --> 00:28:27,600 like they're seeing you know they're 667 00:28:31,250 --> 00:28:29,520 seeing Torpedoes they're seeing a flying 668 00:28:33,409 --> 00:28:31,260 antenna they're seeing orange balls 669 00:28:35,090 --> 00:28:33,419 they're seeing bigfoots they're seeing 670 00:28:36,890 --> 00:28:35,100 the ones that are 10 feet tall ones that 671 00:28:38,690 --> 00:28:36,900 are six feet tall ones that are stocky 672 00:28:41,330 --> 00:28:38,700 ones that have really long arms ones 673 00:28:44,210 --> 00:28:41,340 that are there there's a tremendous like 674 00:28:46,850 --> 00:28:44,220 the variety reported experience 675 00:28:51,769 --> 00:28:49,490 it's vast and I feel like the collective 676 00:28:56,690 --> 00:28:51,779 imagination on this is condensed into 677 00:28:58,490 --> 00:28:56,700 the Grays and Roswell and the ship and I 678 00:29:00,649 --> 00:28:58,500 get slightly 679 00:29:05,510 --> 00:29:03,529 I think this this is it slightly goes 680 00:29:08,990 --> 00:29:05,520 back to the 681 00:29:10,970 --> 00:29:09,000 U.S intelligence controlled official 682 00:29:14,269 --> 00:29:10,980 narrative unofficial unofficial 683 00:29:16,490 --> 00:29:14,279 Narrative of this like and why I said 684 00:29:18,169 --> 00:29:16,500 why'd I say Grudge matters is the reason 685 00:29:20,029 --> 00:29:18,179 like one of the things and this is in 686 00:29:21,830 --> 00:29:20,039 you'll guess that trickster in the 687 00:29:23,870 --> 00:29:21,840 Paranormal they talk my God I know I was 688 00:29:26,630 --> 00:29:23,880 gonna I was waiting for that why because 689 00:29:28,909 --> 00:29:26,640 it seems so Salient why Dodie was picked 690 00:29:30,350 --> 00:29:28,919 okay Jody was picked while he was 691 00:29:32,870 --> 00:29:30,360 approached to received this information 692 00:29:36,049 --> 00:29:32,880 this is hypothetical but he was in ethoc 693 00:29:38,570 --> 00:29:36,059 okay he committed set some errors was 694 00:29:41,269 --> 00:29:38,580 censored for releasing some information 695 00:29:43,070 --> 00:29:41,279 and was it basically considered once 696 00:29:46,250 --> 00:29:43,080 they got him in there they're like oh 697 00:29:47,630 --> 00:29:46,260 this guy is unreliable Like Richard Doty 698 00:29:49,850 --> 00:29:47,640 is never going to move up in the world 699 00:29:52,430 --> 00:29:49,860 of intelligence but he's useful for 700 00:29:56,029 --> 00:29:52,440 disseminating a story if you want and 701 00:29:57,169 --> 00:29:56,039 also he kind of provides a layer of 702 00:29:59,870 --> 00:29:57,179 um 703 00:30:02,570 --> 00:29:59,880 credibility though you know if you don't 704 00:30:03,769 --> 00:30:02,580 dig into that so is that not was that 705 00:30:05,269 --> 00:30:03,779 what you thought I was going to say or 706 00:30:07,610 --> 00:30:05,279 you thinking of something different Leo 707 00:30:09,110 --> 00:30:07,620 from trickster oh I mean honestly I 708 00:30:10,850 --> 00:30:09,120 wasn't paying attention because I was 709 00:30:12,470 --> 00:30:10,860 messaging Mike who's now backstage 710 00:30:14,389 --> 00:30:12,480 absolutely to tell him we're talking 711 00:30:16,490 --> 00:30:14,399 about UFOs and myth I'm gonna get him 712 00:30:18,110 --> 00:30:16,500 added to the stream um and then I'd love 713 00:30:20,810 --> 00:30:18,120 for you to revisit what you were saying 714 00:30:22,010 --> 00:30:20,820 uh about Hanson's book 715 00:30:24,529 --> 00:30:22,020 hey Mike 716 00:30:26,090 --> 00:30:24,539 hey what's going on 717 00:30:29,210 --> 00:30:26,100 um so Mike I actually don't think you've 718 00:30:33,430 --> 00:30:29,220 ever met Nick and Jay uh two of my 719 00:30:37,789 --> 00:30:36,289 okay and the other degenerates we 720 00:30:40,310 --> 00:30:37,799 associate with and psychedelics 721 00:30:41,810 --> 00:30:40,320 Consciousness all that fun stuff 722 00:30:43,490 --> 00:30:41,820 um and I've been pestering Mike to come 723 00:30:44,990 --> 00:30:43,500 on that show for a while 724 00:30:46,909 --> 00:30:45,000 um even though I wouldn't characterize 725 00:30:48,169 --> 00:30:46,919 him as a UFO guy 726 00:30:50,029 --> 00:30:48,179 um 727 00:30:52,490 --> 00:30:50,039 which is a good thing 728 00:30:54,289 --> 00:30:52,500 um a very good thing 729 00:30:55,310 --> 00:30:54,299 um I still thought it'd be a specialized 730 00:30:57,289 --> 00:30:55,320 we're broadening what we're talking 731 00:31:01,570 --> 00:30:57,299 about it'd be great to have him at the 732 00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:03,350 just so you know we're still talking 733 00:31:07,490 --> 00:31:05,760 about grush and UFO missiles well I'll 734 00:31:09,049 --> 00:31:07,500 just give you my take which I haven't 735 00:31:10,730 --> 00:31:09,059 even talked about it but I couldn't do 736 00:31:16,070 --> 00:31:10,740 it I haven't even talked about this on 737 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,090 um 738 00:31:23,029 --> 00:31:21,889 so I don't I'm not one of these people 739 00:31:24,950 --> 00:31:23,039 that's going to attack people and be 740 00:31:26,269 --> 00:31:24,960 like oh he's lying oh they're lying 741 00:31:27,289 --> 00:31:26,279 they're all it's all sire they're all 742 00:31:30,230 --> 00:31:27,299 lying 743 00:31:31,789 --> 00:31:30,240 um what I believe is that there's always 744 00:31:34,330 --> 00:31:31,799 this game of telephone playing 745 00:31:36,830 --> 00:31:34,340 especially within the alphabets 746 00:31:38,330 --> 00:31:36,840 and things get disseminated whether 747 00:31:40,850 --> 00:31:38,340 they're true whether they're false look 748 00:31:42,830 --> 00:31:40,860 at the Lazar stuff was was he even part 749 00:31:45,470 --> 00:31:42,840 of that did he even Elevate to the level 750 00:31:47,690 --> 00:31:45,480 of what this guy is that he would have 751 00:31:48,409 --> 00:31:47,700 had access to 752 00:31:50,990 --> 00:31:48,419 um 753 00:31:53,149 --> 00:31:51,000 all this stuff and and for me it's like 754 00:31:55,130 --> 00:31:53,159 that's not what's interesting about the 755 00:31:56,990 --> 00:31:55,140 phenomenon to me 756 00:31:59,570 --> 00:31:57,000 um that's why when you listen to our 757 00:32:02,570 --> 00:31:59,580 podcast we don't talk about like 758 00:32:03,710 --> 00:32:02,580 the talking heads on UFO Twitter or 759 00:32:06,049 --> 00:32:03,720 whatever's happening because that 760 00:32:08,750 --> 00:32:06,059 doesn't I'm more of I'm more interested 761 00:32:10,610 --> 00:32:08,760 in how it affects and plays off of our 762 00:32:14,389 --> 00:32:10,620 mind and our Consciousness and I don't 763 00:32:17,630 --> 00:32:14,399 feel like many people talk about that in 764 00:32:19,730 --> 00:32:17,640 the more 765 00:32:22,250 --> 00:32:19,740 realistic way that it should be talked 766 00:32:23,690 --> 00:32:22,260 about a lot of it's Woo which is fun I 767 00:32:26,389 --> 00:32:23,700 mean let's all speculate let's all have 768 00:32:27,830 --> 00:32:26,399 fun but it's at some point we all have 769 00:32:31,610 --> 00:32:27,840 to 770 00:32:33,049 --> 00:32:31,620 um you know analyze what is possible in 771 00:32:34,610 --> 00:32:33,059 this reality and what's not I don't want 772 00:32:37,130 --> 00:32:34,620 to waste my time 773 00:32:39,830 --> 00:32:37,140 I've done a lot of research but a lot of 774 00:32:41,690 --> 00:32:39,840 time into this I also understand the 775 00:32:43,970 --> 00:32:41,700 mind really well and I understand how 776 00:32:46,610 --> 00:32:43,980 easy it is to believe things that you 777 00:32:49,430 --> 00:32:46,620 want to believe of via confirmation bias 778 00:32:50,830 --> 00:32:49,440 and different cognitive biases and stuff 779 00:32:54,590 --> 00:32:50,840 like that so 780 00:32:56,330 --> 00:32:54,600 my take on him is we'll we'll wait and 781 00:32:58,730 --> 00:32:56,340 see what happens I don't again I don't 782 00:33:00,769 --> 00:32:58,740 is it possible sure anything's possible 783 00:33:02,630 --> 00:33:00,779 I'm not against it if they have that 784 00:33:04,010 --> 00:33:02,640 awesome like all these people always act 785 00:33:06,169 --> 00:33:04,020 together accurate this would [\h__\h] 786 00:33:09,110 --> 00:33:06,179 rule yeah all these activists that have 787 00:33:11,330 --> 00:33:09,120 put all this time into it um you know 788 00:33:14,029 --> 00:33:11,340 cool and look I have friends you know I 789 00:33:15,289 --> 00:33:14,039 have Toby and Shane and you know Chris 790 00:33:17,210 --> 00:33:15,299 Wolford and all these people are into 791 00:33:19,310 --> 00:33:17,220 the secrecy aspects of that and that's 792 00:33:21,409 --> 00:33:19,320 all wonderful and I would never 793 00:33:22,909 --> 00:33:21,419 you know come at them about any of that 794 00:33:24,049 --> 00:33:22,919 because that's what they want to look 795 00:33:25,610 --> 00:33:24,059 into and that's what they're interested 796 00:33:27,289 --> 00:33:25,620 in just like I'm more interested in the 797 00:33:29,930 --> 00:33:27,299 mind and the philosophical and the 798 00:33:32,210 --> 00:33:29,940 Consciousness aspects of it however 799 00:33:34,250 --> 00:33:32,220 you know there's this great quote that I 800 00:33:36,110 --> 00:33:34,260 always use from Pericles which is time 801 00:33:38,509 --> 00:33:36,120 is the wisest counselor because it's 802 00:33:40,190 --> 00:33:38,519 true time will tell 803 00:33:41,690 --> 00:33:40,200 um and if it doesn't 804 00:33:45,049 --> 00:33:41,700 then it's just going to be another 80 805 00:33:46,909 --> 00:33:45,059 years or 160 years right we've been 806 00:33:49,789 --> 00:33:46,919 waiting 807 00:33:51,649 --> 00:33:49,799 um I will say though I think some people 808 00:33:53,509 --> 00:33:51,659 get lost in the sauce and think that 809 00:33:56,149 --> 00:33:53,519 there's these all-knowing intelligent 810 00:33:57,830 --> 00:33:56,159 people out there and really a lot of 811 00:34:00,110 --> 00:33:57,840 these people are just regular people 812 00:34:01,669 --> 00:34:00,120 that maybe went to basic level college 813 00:34:02,810 --> 00:34:01,679 and then entered the military or went 814 00:34:04,669 --> 00:34:02,820 right from high school into the military 815 00:34:07,130 --> 00:34:04,679 and then built up his career through the 816 00:34:08,030 --> 00:34:07,140 military so it's not like in no offense 817 00:34:11,149 --> 00:34:08,040 any of those people but it's not like 818 00:34:14,810 --> 00:34:11,159 they're Einstein or uh you know 819 00:34:16,669 --> 00:34:14,820 um uh Oppenheimer or anything like that 820 00:34:18,589 --> 00:34:16,679 um and people always talk about secrecy 821 00:34:21,349 --> 00:34:18,599 and stuff like that my take on that is 822 00:34:23,389 --> 00:34:21,359 the most secret project we've ever had 823 00:34:26,990 --> 00:34:23,399 is the Manhattan Project 824 00:34:31,310 --> 00:34:27,000 and we had spies that were involved in 825 00:34:32,990 --> 00:34:31,320 Canada and the US uh Niels Bohr when he 826 00:34:34,190 --> 00:34:33,000 came over even announced it like in the 827 00:34:36,230 --> 00:34:34,200 paper I'm coming to work on this big 828 00:34:38,329 --> 00:34:36,240 project you know and like 829 00:34:40,010 --> 00:34:38,339 um they told Stalin about it like there 830 00:34:42,409 --> 00:34:40,020 was all these things like it was secret 831 00:34:44,270 --> 00:34:42,419 but it wasn't that secret everybody knew 832 00:34:45,430 --> 00:34:44,280 what was happening 833 00:34:47,750 --> 00:34:45,440 um also 834 00:34:51,950 --> 00:34:47,760 Germany was doing the exact same thing 835 00:34:53,930 --> 00:34:51,960 so you know Heisenberg and and all those 836 00:34:56,149 --> 00:34:53,940 uh physicists were doing they were 837 00:34:58,130 --> 00:34:56,159 basically friends with all the people in 838 00:34:59,870 --> 00:34:58,140 the U.S from you know the younger years 839 00:35:02,150 --> 00:34:59,880 in Europe and going to college and stuff 840 00:35:03,829 --> 00:35:02,160 like that but War breaks out people take 841 00:35:06,109 --> 00:35:03,839 sides people are forced to take sides 842 00:35:07,130 --> 00:35:06,119 whatever the case may be 843 00:35:10,430 --> 00:35:07,140 um 844 00:35:12,349 --> 00:35:10,440 so again that's the most secret program 845 00:35:14,390 --> 00:35:12,359 we've ever had and there were still 846 00:35:17,810 --> 00:35:14,400 spies and leaks and all this and this is 847 00:35:19,310 --> 00:35:17,820 before cell phones even like so am I 848 00:35:21,829 --> 00:35:19,320 saying it's impossible no I'm not saying 849 00:35:24,890 --> 00:35:21,839 it's impossible I'm just saying if I had 850 00:35:27,290 --> 00:35:24,900 to bet on it I would bet that we don't 851 00:35:29,510 --> 00:35:27,300 have craft but that's not to say that I 852 00:35:31,609 --> 00:35:29,520 might be wrong either I'm open to the 853 00:35:34,790 --> 00:35:31,619 possibility of being wrong so 854 00:35:37,910 --> 00:35:34,800 I think when I make considerations about 855 00:35:39,890 --> 00:35:37,920 this um and I'm generally at the point 856 00:35:42,050 --> 00:35:39,900 um where I personally don't have any 857 00:35:45,710 --> 00:35:42,060 meaningful opinions or conclusions drawn 858 00:35:48,109 --> 00:35:45,720 about grush or about Elizondo other than 859 00:35:50,870 --> 00:35:48,119 um these are bit players and a very 860 00:35:52,490 --> 00:35:50,880 interesting and compelling tapestry 861 00:35:54,349 --> 00:35:52,500 um one of the things I have warned 862 00:35:57,109 --> 00:35:54,359 because I think I've become something of 863 00:35:59,089 --> 00:35:57,119 the de facto UFO guy in my Social Circle 864 00:36:00,770 --> 00:35:59,099 and on Twitter I've learned a number of 865 00:36:02,750 --> 00:36:00,780 people with this resurgent of interest 866 00:36:05,630 --> 00:36:02,760 that 867 00:36:06,950 --> 00:36:05,640 um nobody has meaningful answers you'll 868 00:36:08,750 --> 00:36:06,960 encounter a lot of different theories 869 00:36:11,329 --> 00:36:08,760 but that anyone who's making 870 00:36:13,490 --> 00:36:11,339 proclamations or conclusive declarations 871 00:36:15,290 --> 00:36:13,500 about the nature or dynamic of this 872 00:36:16,849 --> 00:36:15,300 subject or its causes or what it 873 00:36:19,849 --> 00:36:16,859 actually is 874 00:36:20,630 --> 00:36:19,859 um they should basically be disregarded 875 00:36:24,290 --> 00:36:20,640 um 876 00:36:27,170 --> 00:36:24,300 but uh getting back to my initial Point 877 00:36:28,490 --> 00:36:27,180 um look you do not and I said this 878 00:36:30,530 --> 00:36:28,500 before you do not have to be a 879 00:36:32,810 --> 00:36:30,540 conspiracy theorist to know that there 880 00:36:34,609 --> 00:36:32,820 is a long and storied history of 881 00:36:36,829 --> 00:36:34,619 counterintelligence operations in this 882 00:36:38,450 --> 00:36:36,839 country that have been deliberately and 883 00:36:41,450 --> 00:36:38,460 intentionally 884 00:36:44,510 --> 00:36:41,460 um inserted into all parts of the 885 00:36:46,910 --> 00:36:44,520 cultural social and political milieu in 886 00:36:50,810 --> 00:36:46,920 order to shape opinion to break apart 887 00:36:52,849 --> 00:36:50,820 communities Etc and even if we are in 888 00:36:54,470 --> 00:36:52,859 the ufology community I would say 889 00:36:55,910 --> 00:36:54,480 especially in The Fringe areas like the 890 00:36:56,990 --> 00:36:55,920 French stuff that you see on UFO Twitter 891 00:36:58,670 --> 00:36:57,000 right like I'm not talking about 892 00:37:01,250 --> 00:36:58,680 Michael's swords I'm not talking about 893 00:37:03,230 --> 00:37:01,260 Jan Aldrich I'm talking about like the 894 00:37:05,810 --> 00:37:03,240 real overlap in the Venn diagram between 895 00:37:08,150 --> 00:37:05,820 ufology and like true deep State 896 00:37:09,770 --> 00:37:08,160 conspiratorial thinking the government's 897 00:37:11,510 --> 00:37:09,780 paying attention to all of those yeah 898 00:37:13,370 --> 00:37:11,520 the federal agents pay attention to this 899 00:37:15,109 --> 00:37:13,380 because even though it's not really a 900 00:37:16,970 --> 00:37:15,119 violent subculture it's still a Deeply 901 00:37:18,589 --> 00:37:16,980 conspiratorial One 902 00:37:20,630 --> 00:37:18,599 um and I certainly don't think it's 903 00:37:23,210 --> 00:37:20,640 above the actions of counter 904 00:37:24,890 --> 00:37:23,220 intelligence to insert itself in this 905 00:37:27,410 --> 00:37:24,900 community deliberately attempt to 906 00:37:29,569 --> 00:37:27,420 fracture it or to basically use it to 907 00:37:31,490 --> 00:37:29,579 test and measure different networks to 908 00:37:33,770 --> 00:37:31,500 determine basically how information is 909 00:37:35,870 --> 00:37:33,780 disseminated among complex systems I 910 00:37:38,630 --> 00:37:35,880 mean I would point out Lee and I met 911 00:37:41,030 --> 00:37:38,640 through Twitter spaces a long time ago 912 00:37:43,670 --> 00:37:41,040 everyone important in my life came over 913 00:37:45,109 --> 00:37:43,680 a year ago um I was doing a lot of 914 00:37:48,290 --> 00:37:45,119 spaces and I can tell you there's people 915 00:37:50,569 --> 00:37:48,300 doing multiple voices there's people I 916 00:37:52,250 --> 00:37:50,579 again whether they're mentally ill or 917 00:37:53,329 --> 00:37:52,260 just playing a role or whatever they're 918 00:37:55,430 --> 00:37:53,339 doing 919 00:37:58,370 --> 00:37:55,440 um it's pretty clear to anybody who's 920 00:38:00,829 --> 00:37:58,380 some intelligent what's going on here 921 00:38:02,510 --> 00:38:00,839 um is that somebody's taking notice for 922 00:38:05,930 --> 00:38:02,520 whatever reason 923 00:38:08,990 --> 00:38:05,940 um now aside from from that I would say 924 00:38:11,630 --> 00:38:09,000 that but you got to post a pic I I hope 925 00:38:13,430 --> 00:38:11,640 that that's the case too because we want 926 00:38:16,490 --> 00:38:13,440 you know we don't want crazy people 927 00:38:19,670 --> 00:38:16,500 doing crazy things right so 928 00:38:21,470 --> 00:38:19,680 um you know you is where we don't want 929 00:38:23,990 --> 00:38:21,480 the big brother aspect of it I do think 930 00:38:26,089 --> 00:38:24,000 it is necessary in some regard because I 931 00:38:26,810 --> 00:38:26,099 mean there's radicalized people out 932 00:38:29,510 --> 00:38:26,820 there 933 00:38:30,829 --> 00:38:29,520 um and uh so yeah and I think it's 934 00:38:32,750 --> 00:38:30,839 interesting to point out you mentioned 935 00:38:34,970 --> 00:38:32,760 the conspiratorial aspect of it it's 936 00:38:37,730 --> 00:38:34,980 interesting that there's a lot of people 937 00:38:39,710 --> 00:38:37,740 that are activists that are anti all 938 00:38:42,230 --> 00:38:39,720 other conspiracies except for this 939 00:38:43,270 --> 00:38:42,240 conspiracy right which is like we make 940 00:38:46,790 --> 00:38:43,280 this 941 00:38:48,530 --> 00:38:46,800 yeah exactly so so um I find that very 942 00:38:51,230 --> 00:38:48,540 fascinating from watching UFO Twitter 943 00:38:54,170 --> 00:38:51,240 the last five years this is arguably 944 00:38:56,750 --> 00:38:54,180 though the only hopeful conspiracy yes 945 00:38:58,250 --> 00:38:56,760 that's true so is an optimism I mean 946 00:39:00,410 --> 00:38:58,260 there have been real ones but again why 947 00:39:02,210 --> 00:39:00,420 I I've made it a 948 00:39:03,589 --> 00:39:02,220 part of my philosophy to not waste my 949 00:39:05,210 --> 00:39:03,599 time on it I only want to learn about 950 00:39:07,370 --> 00:39:05,220 things I can know 951 00:39:09,230 --> 00:39:07,380 um I feel like even even most 952 00:39:11,270 --> 00:39:09,240 conspiracies if you look at them it's 953 00:39:13,010 --> 00:39:11,280 yeah there's collusion but I don't think 954 00:39:14,810 --> 00:39:13,020 a lot of the people in the past have 955 00:39:16,790 --> 00:39:14,820 been intelligent enough to know what 956 00:39:18,650 --> 00:39:16,800 they were doing as opposed to it was 957 00:39:20,510 --> 00:39:18,660 just in their best interest to collude 958 00:39:22,670 --> 00:39:20,520 against you know and I think that that's 959 00:39:24,770 --> 00:39:22,680 what these big corporations I don't 960 00:39:26,690 --> 00:39:24,780 think there's one dude like a Mr Burns 961 00:39:28,370 --> 00:39:26,700 at the top saying oh we're gonna poison 962 00:39:30,109 --> 00:39:28,380 all these people we're gonna kill you 963 00:39:32,150 --> 00:39:30,119 know I think it's I don't think it's as 964 00:39:34,069 --> 00:39:32,160 simple as that I think George Soros yeah 965 00:39:35,329 --> 00:39:34,079 it's like how can we maximize profit how 966 00:39:37,069 --> 00:39:35,339 can we maximize this and then he 967 00:39:38,030 --> 00:39:37,079 trickles down and then somebody gets 968 00:39:40,870 --> 00:39:38,040 hurt 969 00:39:43,510 --> 00:39:40,880 um so yeah it's capitalism stupid right 970 00:39:46,490 --> 00:39:43,520 that's what's really hard 971 00:39:48,050 --> 00:39:46,500 yeah far more complex than just right 972 00:39:49,910 --> 00:39:48,060 wrong 973 00:39:54,470 --> 00:39:49,920 um all that but yeah so that's my take 974 00:39:56,210 --> 00:39:54,480 on again I will point out that I believe 975 00:39:58,490 --> 00:39:56,220 there's something to the UFO phenomenon 976 00:39:59,810 --> 00:39:58,500 we just made a documentary about it 977 00:40:01,370 --> 00:39:59,820 um I wouldn't have spent that much time 978 00:40:03,530 --> 00:40:01,380 and effort wouldn't have talked about it 979 00:40:05,210 --> 00:40:03,540 on my podcast the last five years if I 980 00:40:07,430 --> 00:40:05,220 thought and started a separate podcast 981 00:40:09,710 --> 00:40:07,440 uh on the side with Toby and Shane if I 982 00:40:12,470 --> 00:40:09,720 didn't feel like there was something 983 00:40:13,849 --> 00:40:12,480 to that I have a different approach 984 00:40:15,170 --> 00:40:13,859 again I think it's connected to 985 00:40:18,290 --> 00:40:15,180 Consciousness in the mind whether it's 986 00:40:20,990 --> 00:40:18,300 some sort of future Glimpse or maybe an 987 00:40:22,490 --> 00:40:21,000 artifact or something having to do with 988 00:40:23,210 --> 00:40:22,500 all of that 989 00:40:25,970 --> 00:40:23,220 um 990 00:40:27,770 --> 00:40:25,980 you know uh whereas they think that 991 00:40:30,829 --> 00:40:27,780 there might be more of a physical thing 992 00:40:32,990 --> 00:40:30,839 uh that that's landed or whatever so 993 00:40:35,750 --> 00:40:33,000 again that's just my take 994 00:40:38,270 --> 00:40:35,760 um we'll see what what what happens with 995 00:40:41,030 --> 00:40:38,280 uh if there's any hearings or future 996 00:40:45,050 --> 00:40:41,040 stuff with that I just again I just it 997 00:40:47,089 --> 00:40:45,060 makes me not want to look into this 998 00:40:49,430 --> 00:40:47,099 yeah 999 00:40:52,609 --> 00:40:49,440 you know what I'm saying like uh I've 1000 00:40:54,650 --> 00:40:52,619 progressively gotten less interested in 1001 00:40:56,930 --> 00:40:54,660 the government stuff over the last five 1002 00:40:58,970 --> 00:40:56,940 years than I was not that I was some Die 1003 00:41:01,670 --> 00:40:58,980 Hard oh I gotta know every you know 1004 00:41:03,290 --> 00:41:01,680 mj-12 and this and blue book and all you 1005 00:41:04,730 --> 00:41:03,300 know and I do know a lot of those but 1006 00:41:07,130 --> 00:41:04,740 I'm just saying like it's not that was 1007 00:41:08,870 --> 00:41:07,140 never my thing so 1008 00:41:11,030 --> 00:41:08,880 um right again I'm more fascinated at 1009 00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:11,040 the mind and how I think the UFO thing 1010 00:41:14,329 --> 00:41:12,480 is just part of the bigger picture I've 1011 00:41:16,490 --> 00:41:14,339 had my own experiences I've talked to 1012 00:41:18,650 --> 00:41:16,500 people that are the most salt of the 1013 00:41:21,290 --> 00:41:18,660 earth people that why would they lie or 1014 00:41:23,450 --> 00:41:21,300 make it up and I have some of my deep 1015 00:41:25,190 --> 00:41:23,460 dearest friends you know 1016 00:41:26,329 --> 00:41:25,200 um that have seen and experienced things 1017 00:41:28,910 --> 00:41:26,339 so 1018 00:41:32,630 --> 00:41:28,920 um but that I think again I I'm able to 1019 00:41:34,190 --> 00:41:32,640 parse that away from or separate it from 1020 00:41:37,910 --> 00:41:34,200 all the government stuff I don't think a 1021 00:41:42,770 --> 00:41:40,010 fantastic have we had enough of this 1022 00:41:45,950 --> 00:41:42,780 Crush stuff yeah I mean I was gonna use 1023 00:41:48,230 --> 00:41:45,960 uh I was gonna jump right in and ask 1024 00:41:49,849 --> 00:41:48,240 Mike about the documentary he just 1025 00:41:51,470 --> 00:41:49,859 worked on and and I bring that up 1026 00:41:56,329 --> 00:41:51,480 because I think it's a wonderful segue 1027 00:41:58,010 --> 00:41:56,339 from UFO disclosure Crush Etc into some 1028 00:41:59,930 --> 00:41:58,020 um more numinous stuff around 1029 00:42:03,530 --> 00:41:59,940 Consciousness psychedelics and Human 1030 00:42:04,609 --> 00:42:03,540 Experience pause I want everybody to be 1031 00:42:06,470 --> 00:42:04,619 on the same page here because 1032 00:42:09,950 --> 00:42:06,480 Consciousness is a word that gets thrown 1033 00:42:11,990 --> 00:42:09,960 around a lot like Quantum and I wanna I 1034 00:42:14,930 --> 00:42:12,000 wanna know like 1035 00:42:16,849 --> 00:42:14,940 what is your take on Consciousness what 1036 00:42:18,410 --> 00:42:16,859 do you mean by it 1037 00:42:20,930 --> 00:42:18,420 um how do you view it how would you 1038 00:42:23,329 --> 00:42:20,940 explain it 1039 00:42:26,690 --> 00:42:23,339 I mean are you asking Lee are you asking 1040 00:42:29,210 --> 00:42:26,700 all of us here just so I mean if I would 1041 00:42:32,089 --> 00:42:29,220 I can simplify it for myself which is 1042 00:42:33,410 --> 00:42:32,099 there's two ways to look at this 1043 00:42:34,790 --> 00:42:33,420 um 1044 00:42:45,770 --> 00:42:34,800 for me 1045 00:42:47,950 --> 00:42:45,780 know everything's created from mind or 1046 00:42:54,050 --> 00:42:51,829 I mean or it's just Consciousness isn't 1047 00:42:56,030 --> 00:42:54,060 doesn't even exist it's it's a it's 1048 00:42:58,490 --> 00:42:56,040 illusionism it's it's 1049 00:43:00,050 --> 00:42:58,500 um it's a byproduct of biology I don't 1050 00:43:02,210 --> 00:43:00,060 believe that but I think that those are 1051 00:43:05,390 --> 00:43:02,220 the two schools of if you if you listen 1052 00:43:08,210 --> 00:43:05,400 to most modern philosophers they 1053 00:43:10,370 --> 00:43:08,220 actually side with the second Camp more 1054 00:43:12,890 --> 00:43:10,380 which is what we experience as 1055 00:43:15,890 --> 00:43:12,900 Consciousness is kind of an illusion 1056 00:43:18,109 --> 00:43:15,900 it's a um it's kind of a model 1057 00:43:20,750 --> 00:43:18,119 that we're creating and we 1058 00:43:23,030 --> 00:43:20,760 um you know it's millions of little uh 1059 00:43:24,829 --> 00:43:23,040 subconscious decisions being made before 1060 00:43:28,130 --> 00:43:24,839 we even realize we're making a decision 1061 00:43:29,809 --> 00:43:28,140 that gives the appearance of we're you 1062 00:43:31,910 --> 00:43:29,819 know parsing through a problem in our 1063 00:43:34,190 --> 00:43:31,920 head with dialogue even though that has 1064 00:43:37,370 --> 00:43:34,200 been uh that's that's kind of that whole 1065 00:43:39,530 --> 00:43:37,380 like does Free Will exist or not I was I 1066 00:43:41,829 --> 00:43:39,540 was just making sure because I mean 1067 00:43:46,430 --> 00:43:41,839 Consciousness can be as simple as like 1068 00:43:49,130 --> 00:43:46,440 self-awareness and it is uh expansive as 1069 00:43:50,089 --> 00:43:49,140 like The Ether you know so I want to 1070 00:43:52,730 --> 00:43:50,099 make sure that's important too 1071 00:43:54,410 --> 00:43:52,740 self-awareness I think is a huge 1072 00:43:57,589 --> 00:43:54,420 um you know like when did we first look 1073 00:44:00,290 --> 00:43:57,599 into the lake uh um reflection and 1074 00:44:03,290 --> 00:44:00,300 notice ourselves or when did 1075 00:44:05,329 --> 00:44:03,300 um you know when did we start to notice 1076 00:44:06,890 --> 00:44:05,339 ourselves as a separate entity kind of a 1077 00:44:09,349 --> 00:44:06,900 thing I think that that's important I 1078 00:44:11,210 --> 00:44:09,359 think that is part of Consciousness 1079 00:44:14,450 --> 00:44:11,220 um but I think it's a part of it I mean 1080 00:44:16,309 --> 00:44:14,460 just even having my son who now who's 1081 00:44:18,349 --> 00:44:16,319 um over a year and a half and just him 1082 00:44:20,510 --> 00:44:18,359 looking in the mirror and you know just 1083 00:44:23,390 --> 00:44:20,520 watching that connection and that 1084 00:44:25,430 --> 00:44:23,400 interplay is very interesting and just 1085 00:44:26,809 --> 00:44:25,440 watching because you don't remember it 1086 00:44:28,250 --> 00:44:26,819 you know like growing up I don't 1087 00:44:30,109 --> 00:44:28,260 remember ever looking in the mirror when 1088 00:44:31,910 --> 00:44:30,119 I was a baby you're a kid or whatever 1089 00:44:35,089 --> 00:44:31,920 like that so 1090 00:44:37,670 --> 00:44:35,099 um what does that mean to what we are 1091 00:44:40,730 --> 00:44:37,680 and what we're doing and there's a great 1092 00:44:42,349 --> 00:44:40,740 documentary I think it's on Hulu or 1093 00:44:44,450 --> 00:44:42,359 maybe Netflix I don't know it's a it's 1094 00:44:46,849 --> 00:44:44,460 the guy that did my octopus teacher but 1095 00:44:48,290 --> 00:44:46,859 he follows around chimps 1096 00:44:50,210 --> 00:44:48,300 um I recommend that that's actually 1097 00:44:51,829 --> 00:44:50,220 pretty interesting 1098 00:44:53,150 --> 00:44:51,839 um but yeah just just looking at all 1099 00:44:54,710 --> 00:44:53,160 that stuff kind of like what is 1100 00:44:56,690 --> 00:44:54,720 consciousness why are we so different 1101 00:44:58,430 --> 00:44:56,700 what separates us from the Animal 1102 00:44:59,809 --> 00:44:58,440 Kingdom and the way that we perceive 1103 00:45:02,450 --> 00:44:59,819 ourselves to be separate from the Animal 1104 00:45:05,210 --> 00:45:02,460 Kingdom and things like that stuff I 1105 00:45:07,490 --> 00:45:05,220 don't have a real firm definition on it 1106 00:45:09,710 --> 00:45:07,500 I mean I would say it's the capacity for 1107 00:45:13,790 --> 00:45:09,720 self-reflection and symbolic thought but 1108 00:45:18,050 --> 00:45:13,800 I don't have a stance on mind versus 1109 00:45:20,809 --> 00:45:18,060 matter that's real firm I I tend on an 1110 00:45:23,210 --> 00:45:20,819 intuitive level I do believe that there 1111 00:45:24,410 --> 00:45:23,220 is a reality a physical reality that 1112 00:45:26,809 --> 00:45:24,420 exists 1113 00:45:29,390 --> 00:45:26,819 regardless of whether we're here or not 1114 00:45:31,430 --> 00:45:29,400 but I also realized that the reality 1115 00:45:33,530 --> 00:45:31,440 that we live in is sort of governed by 1116 00:45:36,710 --> 00:45:33,540 our ability to perceive and process it 1117 00:45:38,809 --> 00:45:36,720 so those are better on the filters to 1118 00:45:40,250 --> 00:45:38,819 that we're using I don't want to see I 1119 00:45:41,630 --> 00:45:40,260 don't want to see radio waves that would 1120 00:45:46,069 --> 00:45:41,640 make it really hard to go downstairs and 1121 00:45:49,490 --> 00:45:48,050 Consciousness is being 1122 00:45:51,470 --> 00:45:49,500 did a highly 1123 00:45:53,630 --> 00:45:51,480 um contextual fashion right like I think 1124 00:45:55,790 --> 00:45:53,640 of just the sort of immediate 1125 00:45:57,710 --> 00:45:55,800 materialist consciousness of I'm awake 1126 00:45:59,809 --> 00:45:57,720 and experiencing my environment in a way 1127 00:46:02,210 --> 00:45:59,819 that feels conscious to me like it was 1128 00:46:04,609 --> 00:46:02,220 deliberate and intentional versus you 1129 00:46:07,430 --> 00:46:04,619 know an academy instead or an anesthesia 1130 00:46:10,190 --> 00:46:07,440 or in sleep this feels um less like a 1131 00:46:13,370 --> 00:46:10,200 deliberate intentional experience 1132 00:46:15,470 --> 00:46:13,380 um but so I but I think the the way I 1133 00:46:17,870 --> 00:46:15,480 think of it is almost like a Cartesian 1134 00:46:22,069 --> 00:46:17,880 plane like like there's four quadrants 1135 00:46:23,569 --> 00:46:22,079 like one quadrant is individual uh 1136 00:46:26,329 --> 00:46:23,579 Consciousness is an individual 1137 00:46:28,430 --> 00:46:26,339 experience and it is strictly an 1138 00:46:29,870 --> 00:46:28,440 interpretation of material surroundings 1139 00:46:32,030 --> 00:46:29,880 and the material surroundings are 1140 00:46:35,329 --> 00:46:32,040 reality and there's like individual 1141 00:46:37,790 --> 00:46:35,339 experience Consciousness is individual 1142 00:46:40,010 --> 00:46:37,800 um but it's ideal it's idealism it's our 1143 00:46:41,990 --> 00:46:40,020 brain reconstructing like this is like 1144 00:46:44,750 --> 00:46:42,000 what Donald Hoffman talks about like 1145 00:46:47,270 --> 00:46:44,760 what we see and engage with the quality 1146 00:46:48,890 --> 00:46:47,280 of we experience is really like an 1147 00:46:50,510 --> 00:46:48,900 interface the same more like a computer 1148 00:46:52,490 --> 00:46:50,520 screen as an interface with the 1149 00:46:54,710 --> 00:46:52,500 electronics of a computer 1150 00:46:55,490 --> 00:46:54,720 and then the other two quadrants would 1151 00:46:58,670 --> 00:46:55,500 be 1152 00:47:01,190 --> 00:46:58,680 um Consciousness is something that is 1153 00:47:03,050 --> 00:47:01,200 actually Collective and the idea of it 1154 00:47:05,510 --> 00:47:03,060 being an individual thing is just an 1155 00:47:07,150 --> 00:47:05,520 artifact of like our mental processing 1156 00:47:09,530 --> 00:47:07,160 that Consciousness does not exist 1157 00:47:11,329 --> 00:47:09,540 internally it's something like a field 1158 00:47:13,730 --> 00:47:11,339 or it exists outside of ourselves and 1159 00:47:14,410 --> 00:47:13,740 you just sort of receive it 1160 00:47:17,030 --> 00:47:14,420 um 1161 00:47:19,250 --> 00:47:17,040 or uh there's this sort of same 1162 00:47:21,230 --> 00:47:19,260 Collective Consciousness that's idealism 1163 00:47:23,390 --> 00:47:21,240 as well that like we're all just kind of 1164 00:47:26,150 --> 00:47:23,400 collectively dreaming 1165 00:47:28,670 --> 00:47:26,160 um reality into existence or engaging 1166 00:47:29,870 --> 00:47:28,680 with this kind of interface that is but 1167 00:47:33,230 --> 00:47:29,880 a um 1168 00:47:35,210 --> 00:47:33,240 poor or abstract representation of what 1169 00:47:39,349 --> 00:47:35,220 is actually occurring 1170 00:47:41,390 --> 00:47:39,359 I mean like in a way I mean that that 1171 00:47:43,670 --> 00:47:41,400 the last thing you described is kind of 1172 00:47:46,370 --> 00:47:43,680 true when we look at things like UFOs 1173 00:47:48,349 --> 00:47:46,380 like myths things like that yeah right 1174 00:47:50,990 --> 00:47:48,359 yeah we all collectively dream same 1175 00:47:52,309 --> 00:47:51,000 things into into existence and Jay I 1176 00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:52,319 know I have asked you a million times 1177 00:47:57,050 --> 00:47:53,880 the term for this but it's this idea 1178 00:47:58,970 --> 00:47:57,060 that like you can seed importance or 1179 00:48:00,890 --> 00:47:58,980 value marketers do it all the time like 1180 00:48:02,270 --> 00:48:00,900 they basically try to artificially 1181 00:48:04,130 --> 00:48:02,280 generate 1182 00:48:05,870 --> 00:48:04,140 um like buzz around something with the 1183 00:48:08,030 --> 00:48:05,880 hopes that it catches on subsequently 1184 00:48:10,490 --> 00:48:08,040 with with people right like if you have 1185 00:48:13,670 --> 00:48:10,500 enough people yeah I mean that's it's a 1186 00:48:15,410 --> 00:48:13,680 real basic principle of advertising and 1187 00:48:18,530 --> 00:48:15,420 I actually though the thing that I look 1188 00:48:21,710 --> 00:48:18,540 at it was a real good example of it 1189 00:48:24,109 --> 00:48:21,720 um was VR glasses like back a couple 1190 00:48:27,410 --> 00:48:24,119 years ago and I know that's kind of 1191 00:48:30,290 --> 00:48:27,420 still hanging on no but like um right 1192 00:48:32,450 --> 00:48:30,300 now Google Glass the ones that you could 1193 00:48:34,250 --> 00:48:32,460 put all of the ones that you could put a 1194 00:48:35,450 --> 00:48:34,260 phone in you like snap it on and put it 1195 00:48:37,790 --> 00:48:35,460 oh yeah yeah I know what you're talking 1196 00:48:39,890 --> 00:48:37,800 about right because like we marketed 1197 00:48:41,930 --> 00:48:39,900 those not we but like the advertising 1198 00:48:43,730 --> 00:48:41,940 industry marketed those as they were 1199 00:48:47,390 --> 00:48:43,740 like the Christmas gift you had to get 1200 00:48:50,329 --> 00:48:47,400 and the process is sort of like you make 1201 00:48:52,609 --> 00:48:50,339 the perception of reality soft where you 1202 00:48:55,250 --> 00:48:52,619 you're like okay this is a valuable 1203 00:48:57,890 --> 00:48:55,260 thing and you want it and then reality 1204 00:49:00,770 --> 00:48:57,900 kind of hardens up again later after 1205 00:49:02,510 --> 00:49:00,780 that effect has happened now 1206 00:49:04,370 --> 00:49:02,520 um I do think this is again though to me 1207 00:49:08,210 --> 00:49:04,380 why there is like sort of a baseline 1208 00:49:09,770 --> 00:49:08,220 reality because those sucked and nobody 1209 00:49:11,390 --> 00:49:09,780 and they're like a thing that exists 1210 00:49:13,490 --> 00:49:11,400 they're re-gifted and then they're in 1211 00:49:15,609 --> 00:49:13,500 everybody's closet on like the top shelf 1212 00:49:20,450 --> 00:49:15,619 in the back 1213 00:49:22,670 --> 00:49:20,460 like yeah you can't like 1214 00:49:24,230 --> 00:49:22,680 you can convince everybody to buy them 1215 00:49:25,849 --> 00:49:24,240 and think they're good for a while but 1216 00:49:28,130 --> 00:49:25,859 if they're not actually good and fun to 1217 00:49:29,870 --> 00:49:28,140 use and like a cool thing then they 1218 00:49:31,790 --> 00:49:29,880 don't then they don't take in and I 1219 00:49:33,770 --> 00:49:31,800 think you know again like that like 1220 00:49:35,450 --> 00:49:33,780 everything we've seen in Tech we're in 1221 00:49:38,270 --> 00:49:35,460 this like terrible cycle of tech Ox 1222 00:49:39,770 --> 00:49:38,280 tourism where we had 1223 00:49:43,849 --> 00:49:39,780 um 1224 00:49:48,230 --> 00:49:43,859 blockchain crypto nfts then we had like 1225 00:49:51,170 --> 00:49:48,240 Trends VR AR you know the metaverse and 1226 00:49:54,550 --> 00:49:51,180 now we're in now we're in AI as the 1227 00:49:58,190 --> 00:49:54,560 language model thing and 1228 00:50:01,069 --> 00:49:58,200 I again I also say that like Baseline 1229 00:50:03,170 --> 00:50:01,079 reality has to exist because we're not 1230 00:50:05,569 --> 00:50:03,180 all like why do we all decide to dream 1231 00:50:10,270 --> 00:50:05,579 this like what I got what do I got hands 1232 00:50:13,309 --> 00:50:10,280 like you know what I mean I I say that 1233 00:50:14,809 --> 00:50:13,319 about that the collective dream sucks 1234 00:50:17,870 --> 00:50:14,819 um but 1235 00:50:22,069 --> 00:50:17,880 no there's I mean there's a lot of like 1236 00:50:28,490 --> 00:50:24,290 a lot of uh 1237 00:50:30,230 --> 00:50:28,500 ways we can shape perception like in the 1238 00:50:32,750 --> 00:50:30,240 in the 1239 00:50:34,790 --> 00:50:32,760 um short term with those like 1240 00:50:36,589 --> 00:50:34,800 psychological techniques that advertise 1241 00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:36,599 and uses 1242 00:50:41,270 --> 00:50:38,400 um and a lot of them are very like it's 1243 00:50:42,589 --> 00:50:41,280 very easy it's very Elementary stuff but 1244 00:50:45,589 --> 00:50:42,599 um 1245 00:50:48,230 --> 00:50:45,599 the whole uh process still there has to 1246 00:50:50,990 --> 00:50:48,240 be some substance in the end 1247 00:50:52,670 --> 00:50:51,000 and even if the substance is we all 1248 00:50:54,230 --> 00:50:52,680 convinced 1249 00:50:57,730 --> 00:50:54,240 um we all convince you to do this 1250 00:50:59,510 --> 00:50:57,740 because like we all believe in it 1251 00:51:03,230 --> 00:50:59,520 product-based stuff is a little bit 1252 00:51:04,010 --> 00:51:03,240 tricky like that because we can still 1253 00:51:05,990 --> 00:51:04,020 um 1254 00:51:09,190 --> 00:51:06,000 market products based on like personal 1255 00:51:16,309 --> 00:51:13,190 Graphics excuse me you know but um yeah 1256 00:51:19,130 --> 00:51:16,319 these are all those fads I mean even the 1257 00:51:20,750 --> 00:51:19,140 AI thing like it's a chat bot it's 1258 00:51:22,549 --> 00:51:20,760 literally curating things from the 1259 00:51:25,309 --> 00:51:22,559 Internet it's not even thinking like 1260 00:51:26,710 --> 00:51:25,319 people are really just not aware of what 1261 00:51:29,390 --> 00:51:26,720 these things 1262 00:51:30,950 --> 00:51:29,400 there's a lot of dunning-kruger stuff 1263 00:51:33,549 --> 00:51:30,960 going on with AI I can't tell you what's 1264 00:51:35,950 --> 00:51:33,559 more interesting Quantum Computing 1265 00:51:38,809 --> 00:51:35,960 is fascinating 1266 00:51:40,849 --> 00:51:38,819 yeah I mean the I think the thing you're 1267 00:51:42,530 --> 00:51:40,859 talking about Leah is psychic driving 1268 00:51:44,329 --> 00:51:42,540 where we just yeah that's what I was 1269 00:51:46,190 --> 00:51:44,339 thinking of you just exposed me to the 1270 00:51:48,290 --> 00:51:46,200 message to the point where you're like I 1271 00:51:50,510 --> 00:51:48,300 cave and I believe this like I no longer 1272 00:51:53,030 --> 00:51:50,520 like question it and I'm buying my I'm 1273 00:51:55,370 --> 00:51:53,040 buying my 90 1274 00:51:56,690 --> 00:51:55,380 um VR glasses that I can stick my iPhone 1275 00:51:57,530 --> 00:51:56,700 in 1276 00:52:00,770 --> 00:51:57,540 um 1277 00:52:01,849 --> 00:52:00,780 yeah I think at the core two of psychic 1278 00:52:04,010 --> 00:52:01,859 driving 1279 00:52:08,329 --> 00:52:04,020 um I mean this shows up a lot in like 1280 00:52:10,790 --> 00:52:08,339 taste but taste is acquired by exposure 1281 00:52:12,950 --> 00:52:10,800 so what I mean by this is that if you're 1282 00:52:16,549 --> 00:52:12,960 repeatedly exposed to something like a 1283 00:52:18,290 --> 00:52:16,559 food or a drink or an experience even if 1284 00:52:19,549 --> 00:52:18,300 you don't like it initially after you've 1285 00:52:21,410 --> 00:52:19,559 been exposed to the number of times 1286 00:52:23,930 --> 00:52:21,420 pretty frequently if you don't become 1287 00:52:25,430 --> 00:52:23,940 ambivalent you'll actually like it right 1288 00:52:26,930 --> 00:52:25,440 like this is like how people learn to 1289 00:52:28,730 --> 00:52:26,940 develop a taste for things like black 1290 00:52:30,890 --> 00:52:28,740 coffee nobody really likes black coffee 1291 00:52:33,230 --> 00:52:30,900 at the start but you just kind of make a 1292 00:52:34,910 --> 00:52:33,240 deliberate decision because you know you 1293 00:52:36,710 --> 00:52:34,920 like how it makes you feel you like the 1294 00:52:55,750 --> 00:52:36,720 rituals like all the [\h__\h] that like 1295 00:53:03,530 --> 00:53:00,230 other than that yes nah get lost 1296 00:53:06,170 --> 00:53:03,540 well I did read Nick unfortunately and I 1297 00:53:08,630 --> 00:53:06,180 this is me too that on people with more 1298 00:53:11,390 --> 00:53:08,640 sociopathic personality traits enjoy 1299 00:53:14,089 --> 00:53:11,400 bitter flavors more 1300 00:53:17,809 --> 00:53:14,099 um yeah on a genetic level this is me 1301 00:53:19,670 --> 00:53:17,819 too like some people really do like that 1302 00:53:22,430 --> 00:53:19,680 stuff but I know what you mean it's the 1303 00:53:25,849 --> 00:53:22,440 if our society didn't 1304 00:53:30,710 --> 00:53:25,859 um okay I do think that like at a 1305 00:53:33,290 --> 00:53:30,720 certain point like alcohol has value 1306 00:53:35,569 --> 00:53:33,300 um because it lets us like 1307 00:53:36,890 --> 00:53:35,579 let people survive 1308 00:53:40,210 --> 00:53:36,900 um 1309 00:53:43,069 --> 00:53:40,220 Bad drinking water in certain situations 1310 00:53:45,230 --> 00:53:43,079 it also is not like 1311 00:53:48,170 --> 00:53:45,240 um it's the payoff like alcohol may 1312 00:53:51,049 --> 00:53:48,180 taste bad being intoxicated it's fun and 1313 00:53:51,950 --> 00:53:51,059 stuff right yeah yeah and I think that 1314 00:53:53,030 --> 00:53:51,960 that 1315 00:53:56,270 --> 00:53:53,040 um 1316 00:53:57,650 --> 00:53:56,280 like that seems to be like the 1317 00:54:04,549 --> 00:53:57,660 um 1318 00:54:05,870 --> 00:54:04,559 trying to say that's society is 1319 00:54:08,270 --> 00:54:05,880 interesting do you think it's because 1320 00:54:09,829 --> 00:54:08,280 they they believe they can convince 1321 00:54:11,210 --> 00:54:09,839 themselves that they like something that 1322 00:54:13,670 --> 00:54:11,220 they don't like because there's right 1323 00:54:16,849 --> 00:54:13,680 there I think it might be genetic on the 1324 00:54:19,130 --> 00:54:16,859 level of the um like the cilantro Gene 1325 00:54:21,530 --> 00:54:19,140 yeah it's just like oh by the way like 1326 00:54:23,630 --> 00:54:21,540 if you have if you genetically whatever 1327 00:54:25,970 --> 00:54:23,640 your brain structure is or whatever 1328 00:54:29,630 --> 00:54:25,980 governs this chemical balance leads you 1329 00:54:32,390 --> 00:54:29,640 towards that you also are like I like 1330 00:54:34,849 --> 00:54:32,400 bitter like I like it like I don't I 1331 00:54:38,750 --> 00:54:34,859 don't know on that but a lot of the 1332 00:54:41,510 --> 00:54:38,760 things we do I think like a societal 1333 00:54:43,670 --> 00:54:41,520 ritual enforces it drinking is a really 1334 00:54:47,510 --> 00:54:43,680 good example like yeah like drinking 1335 00:54:49,670 --> 00:54:47,520 also has value because it's like I have 1336 00:54:52,010 --> 00:54:49,680 to go like bond with my co-workers over 1337 00:54:54,230 --> 00:54:52,020 thanks and if I don't this is actually 1338 00:54:57,490 --> 00:54:54,240 something I have experienced like being 1339 00:55:00,230 --> 00:54:57,500 ostracized by the office speakers 1340 00:55:02,950 --> 00:55:00,240 yeah I'm like I don't know I'm just like 1341 00:55:05,510 --> 00:55:02,960 any anything else I'll do but alcohol 1342 00:55:07,490 --> 00:55:05,520 like I'll I'll have a couple cocktails 1343 00:55:11,809 --> 00:55:07,500 uh every now and then I love the feeling 1344 00:55:15,370 --> 00:55:11,819 of having a couple beers but the anxiety 1345 00:55:21,470 --> 00:55:17,930 one of the things that's interesting to 1346 00:55:24,049 --> 00:55:21,480 to me about you though is your approach 1347 00:55:27,589 --> 00:55:24,059 to the the psychonaut experience and the 1348 00:55:31,150 --> 00:55:27,599 drug experience because I issued a lot 1349 00:55:34,370 --> 00:55:31,160 of this as a kid like when I was young 1350 00:55:36,410 --> 00:55:34,380 I was 21. yeah but a lot of it was 1351 00:55:39,349 --> 00:55:36,420 available was just like of questionable 1352 00:55:41,930 --> 00:55:39,359 provenance and like effect you know like 1353 00:55:46,990 --> 00:55:41,940 you really got get like LSD from some 1354 00:55:49,430 --> 00:55:47,000 random guy is it like any good or yeah 1355 00:55:52,010 --> 00:55:49,440 that's the wrong crowd I think that's 1356 00:55:54,530 --> 00:55:52,020 actually not imagine having an intense 1357 00:55:56,390 --> 00:55:54,540 psychedelic experience before like I'd 1358 00:55:59,270 --> 00:55:56,400 come into adulthood in a substantial 1359 00:56:01,549 --> 00:55:59,280 fashion like the idea to me of like 1360 00:56:05,750 --> 00:56:01,559 having a major souse I'm experience at 1361 00:56:07,190 --> 00:56:05,760 like 17 it horrifies me in a lot of 1362 00:56:08,930 --> 00:56:07,200 different ways and that's I'm not saying 1363 00:56:10,910 --> 00:56:08,940 that to confer judgment on anyone oh no 1364 00:56:12,589 --> 00:56:10,920 I didn't get it I was always very 1365 00:56:15,490 --> 00:56:12,599 interested yeah I was I mean I've been 1366 00:56:18,109 --> 00:56:15,500 doing this [\h__\h] since I was 13. 1367 00:56:20,510 --> 00:56:18,119 no but I I didn't smoke pot until I was 1368 00:56:22,250 --> 00:56:20,520 21. I mean I was ROTC I didn't give up 1369 00:56:24,109 --> 00:56:22,260 in my dream of being an astronaut until 1370 00:56:26,030 --> 00:56:24,119 I was literally 20 years old like I went 1371 00:56:28,549 --> 00:56:26,040 to engineering school I was ROTC on a 1372 00:56:31,030 --> 00:56:28,559 scholarship the whole thing 1373 00:56:33,290 --> 00:56:31,040 um so for me it's it's almost 1374 00:56:36,710 --> 00:56:33,300 inextricably connected to spiritual 1375 00:56:39,109 --> 00:56:36,720 practice and like self-work and 1376 00:56:41,030 --> 00:56:39,119 transpersonal experience it's never been 1377 00:56:43,190 --> 00:56:41,040 in the realm of recreational experience 1378 00:56:45,290 --> 00:56:43,200 for me um and I see like when I talk 1379 00:56:47,030 --> 00:56:45,300 about this it's not with judgment like I 1380 00:56:49,130 --> 00:56:47,040 know people use these as tools all the 1381 00:56:50,870 --> 00:56:49,140 time in different ways 1382 00:56:53,210 --> 00:56:50,880 um but the other thing I was going to 1383 00:56:55,309 --> 00:56:53,220 say going back to tastes I have a lot of 1384 00:56:57,710 --> 00:56:55,319 tastes or proclivities towards like 1385 00:57:00,349 --> 00:56:57,720 serious acquired taste things like I 1386 00:57:02,450 --> 00:57:00,359 love salted black licorice I love um 1387 00:57:04,910 --> 00:57:02,460 Marmite mermaid's one of my favorite 1388 00:57:06,770 --> 00:57:04,920 things I love really hoppy uh not 1389 00:57:09,530 --> 00:57:06,780 necessarily beers but like hop teas I 1390 00:57:11,150 --> 00:57:09,540 like bitter and like herbal things and I 1391 00:57:13,730 --> 00:57:11,160 mentally always connect it to being 1392 00:57:15,290 --> 00:57:13,740 really into type 2 fun which 1393 00:57:17,329 --> 00:57:15,300 it's like shorthand for being like I 1394 00:57:19,190 --> 00:57:17,339 [\h__\h] love to suffer right like I love 1395 00:57:21,049 --> 00:57:19,200 to backpack in the woods and not shower 1396 00:57:23,690 --> 00:57:21,059 for a week I like you know I like hard 1397 00:57:25,549 --> 00:57:23,700 workouts like right yeah I know this is 1398 00:57:27,290 --> 00:57:25,559 this is deranged [\h__\h] and that's also 1399 00:57:30,049 --> 00:57:27,300 why I like salted black licorice that 1400 00:57:32,950 --> 00:57:30,059 smells like a cat box but the rest of 1401 00:57:35,630 --> 00:57:32,960 that's unhinged yeah no I know 1402 00:57:38,450 --> 00:57:35,640 I know I don't think it's I don't think 1403 00:57:40,190 --> 00:57:38,460 it's unhinged um you're I don't know if 1404 00:57:42,650 --> 00:57:40,200 your whole life was like that or you're 1405 00:57:44,930 --> 00:57:42,660 balancing out 1406 00:57:46,370 --> 00:57:44,940 uh no I've always been like this I've 1407 00:57:48,049 --> 00:57:46,380 always been like and it's weird because 1408 00:57:49,609 --> 00:57:48,059 I'm not competitive I'm really not type 1409 00:57:51,470 --> 00:57:49,619 A 1410 00:57:53,690 --> 00:57:51,480 um I just like 1411 00:57:56,270 --> 00:57:53,700 intense [\h__\h] I like intensity that's 1412 00:57:58,130 --> 00:57:56,280 really what it is hmm 1413 00:57:59,630 --> 00:57:58,140 um so 1414 00:58:05,150 --> 00:57:59,640 spicy food 1415 00:58:06,890 --> 00:58:05,160 spicy not like Blast Furnace spicy but 1416 00:58:09,170 --> 00:58:06,900 like complex spicy like what you see in 1417 00:58:10,970 --> 00:58:09,180 Szechuan cooking like I want like little 1418 00:58:13,609 --> 00:58:10,980 beads of sweat to form up my hairline 1419 00:58:18,230 --> 00:58:13,619 you know this is though okay so taking 1420 00:58:21,730 --> 00:58:18,240 this back right now to our discussion 1421 00:58:23,990 --> 00:58:21,740 the nature of Consciousness we are very 1422 00:58:26,089 --> 00:58:24,000 this is one of the things I think about 1423 00:58:27,410 --> 00:58:26,099 a lot with this we're very when we we're 1424 00:58:30,049 --> 00:58:27,420 having these interactions like we're 1425 00:58:33,410 --> 00:58:30,059 very um fragmented for lack of a better 1426 00:58:35,210 --> 00:58:33,420 way to put it like we really Express a 1427 00:58:39,289 --> 00:58:35,220 wide 1428 00:58:41,690 --> 00:58:39,299 and experience 1429 00:58:42,470 --> 00:58:41,700 which again I don't know 1430 00:58:48,650 --> 00:58:42,480 um 1431 00:58:51,170 --> 00:58:48,660 it's difficult for me I guess there's a 1432 00:58:54,710 --> 00:58:51,180 limit of my imagination to imagine 1433 00:58:57,470 --> 00:58:54,720 um a collective mind fragmenting itself 1434 00:59:00,470 --> 00:58:57,480 into like you know it's like it's like 1435 00:59:02,150 --> 00:59:00,480 we're all little mandelbrot sets kind of 1436 00:59:04,549 --> 00:59:02,160 forming out and forming into these 1437 00:59:05,750 --> 00:59:04,559 complex shapes and disintegrating I 1438 00:59:08,510 --> 00:59:05,760 don't know it's 1439 00:59:10,609 --> 00:59:08,520 um it's difficult for me to conceive of 1440 00:59:13,490 --> 00:59:10,619 that like I think 1441 00:59:15,109 --> 00:59:13,500 um again though I I feel like one of the 1442 00:59:17,150 --> 00:59:15,119 one of the things that I hear I've not 1443 00:59:19,910 --> 00:59:17,160 experienced this but here repeatedly is 1444 00:59:21,650 --> 00:59:19,920 you know the higher what we what we call 1445 00:59:23,690 --> 00:59:21,660 in the vernacular like the higher stages 1446 00:59:25,849 --> 00:59:23,700 of con of Consciousness you feel that 1447 00:59:29,150 --> 00:59:25,859 like Oneness and connection yeah 1448 00:59:31,849 --> 00:59:29,160 non-duality yeah and it's like we're 1449 00:59:34,690 --> 00:59:31,859 have you guys had the non-duality is it 1450 00:59:37,490 --> 00:59:34,700 as good as the black licorice yes 1451 00:59:39,109 --> 00:59:37,500 I hate black conquerors so anything can 1452 00:59:42,289 --> 00:59:39,119 beat that but 1453 00:59:43,910 --> 00:59:42,299 um yeah all you Jagermeister lovers all 1454 00:59:44,630 --> 00:59:43,920 that shit's nasty 1455 00:59:47,329 --> 00:59:44,640 um 1456 00:59:49,910 --> 00:59:47,339 Jaeger uh I do like I like the 1457 00:59:53,870 --> 00:59:49,920 Jagermeister so what about malort 1458 00:59:55,490 --> 00:59:53,880 three years ago I had a psilocybin 1459 00:59:57,589 --> 00:59:55,500 experience 1460 01:00:00,289 --> 00:59:57,599 where 1461 01:00:01,849 --> 01:00:00,299 so you know how have you ever tripped 1462 01:00:04,430 --> 01:00:01,859 and looked at a part of your body where 1463 01:00:06,890 --> 01:00:04,440 you it felt like it was like 1464 01:00:08,390 --> 01:00:06,900 disconnected 1465 01:00:09,950 --> 01:00:08,400 um yeah like look at your hand and like 1466 01:00:12,049 --> 01:00:09,960 oh is this even part of me or something 1467 01:00:14,329 --> 01:00:12,059 like that like that's actually does this 1468 01:00:17,210 --> 01:00:14,339 write this Association 1469 01:00:18,829 --> 01:00:17,220 um so I had the opposite effect where I 1470 01:00:20,270 --> 01:00:18,839 felt like I was part of every like I 1471 01:00:23,150 --> 01:00:20,280 felt like I was connected to everything 1472 01:00:25,549 --> 01:00:23,160 and I couldn't understand how no like in 1473 01:00:30,710 --> 01:00:25,559 that moment how nobody else could feel 1474 01:00:32,750 --> 01:00:30,720 that or ever knew that that we we are so 1475 01:00:34,670 --> 01:00:32,760 I don't know how to explain it it's it's 1476 01:00:36,470 --> 01:00:34,680 like I said it's it would be like 1477 01:00:39,230 --> 01:00:36,480 feeling like 1478 01:00:40,910 --> 01:00:39,240 missing something but it's all there 1479 01:00:43,190 --> 01:00:40,920 it's really hard to explain I can't 1480 01:00:44,809 --> 01:00:43,200 really I mean that's why they say it's 1481 01:00:47,210 --> 01:00:44,819 like ineffable or you can't really 1482 01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:47,220 describe psychedelic experiences but 1483 01:00:50,569 --> 01:00:48,780 that was the experience that I was just 1484 01:00:53,270 --> 01:00:50,579 connected to everything and it was so 1485 01:00:55,370 --> 01:00:53,280 obvious at the time and so 1486 01:00:57,410 --> 01:00:55,380 um groundbreaking in my own mind and 1487 01:01:01,730 --> 01:00:57,420 maybe that's an illusion too you know 1488 01:01:05,089 --> 01:01:01,740 I'm open to that but it felt real and 1489 01:01:08,270 --> 01:01:05,099 um even afterwards I could see 1490 01:01:10,010 --> 01:01:08,280 um what I was thinking that I felt I 1491 01:01:12,349 --> 01:01:10,020 don't know I just felt like 1492 01:01:14,150 --> 01:01:12,359 more at peace about things after that 1493 01:01:17,809 --> 01:01:14,160 experience but yeah I mean in terms of 1494 01:01:19,849 --> 01:01:17,819 the non-duality I felt that before but 1495 01:01:22,190 --> 01:01:19,859 um I also wonder about creativity a lot 1496 01:01:24,349 --> 01:01:22,200 too and individuality and can we 1497 01:01:26,569 --> 01:01:24,359 separate ourselves from 1498 01:01:28,549 --> 01:01:26,579 this one thing or this greater thing 1499 01:01:30,770 --> 01:01:28,559 because I don't think anything truly is 1500 01:01:32,329 --> 01:01:30,780 original music's not original especially 1501 01:01:35,510 --> 01:01:32,339 now 1502 01:01:37,010 --> 01:01:35,520 um you look at content it's not original 1503 01:01:38,930 --> 01:01:37,020 um whether we're talking about UFO 1504 01:01:40,370 --> 01:01:38,940 Twitter or posting or whatever it's 1505 01:01:42,109 --> 01:01:40,380 everybody posts the same [\h__\h] everybody 1506 01:01:43,150 --> 01:01:42,119 repeats off of each other everybody's 1507 01:01:45,770 --> 01:01:43,160 basically 1508 01:01:47,930 --> 01:01:45,780 yeah all the communication mediums we 1509 01:01:50,150 --> 01:01:47,940 use basically incentivize this 1510 01:01:54,109 --> 01:01:50,160 convergence towards one way to speak one 1511 01:01:57,349 --> 01:01:54,119 way to communicate one way to think well 1512 01:01:59,270 --> 01:01:57,359 Human Society though regardless of the 1513 01:02:02,950 --> 01:01:59,280 socio-political context is always 1514 01:02:06,650 --> 01:02:02,960 organized itself like that like you have 1515 01:02:08,870 --> 01:02:06,660 like we you know like in a capitalist 1516 01:02:10,549 --> 01:02:08,880 Society you got to go with what pays 1517 01:02:12,650 --> 01:02:10,559 bills like what's the you got to make 1518 01:02:15,289 --> 01:02:12,660 the content that's gonna connect this is 1519 01:02:17,870 --> 01:02:15,299 a uh this is actually something I when I 1520 01:02:20,690 --> 01:02:17,880 teach graphic design I try to explain 1521 01:02:22,910 --> 01:02:20,700 this to my students that a lot of people 1522 01:02:25,309 --> 01:02:22,920 make the mistake of pursuing a creative 1523 01:02:27,049 --> 01:02:25,319 career Creative Education 1524 01:02:30,170 --> 01:02:27,059 um in the in the idea that there's 1525 01:02:31,789 --> 01:02:30,180 personal fulfillment to be had and that 1526 01:02:33,829 --> 01:02:31,799 personal fulfillment is actually going 1527 01:02:35,410 --> 01:02:33,839 to come because somehow they're going to 1528 01:02:38,690 --> 01:02:35,420 get paid to express themselves 1529 01:02:39,890 --> 01:02:38,700 creatively on an individual level and 1530 01:02:41,870 --> 01:02:39,900 people are going to pay for that I'm 1531 01:02:44,150 --> 01:02:41,880 like that only happens to like 10 people 1532 01:02:46,910 --> 01:02:44,160 uh there's like 10 people every decade 1533 01:02:49,010 --> 01:02:46,920 and usually it's an easy like I say the 1534 01:02:50,630 --> 01:02:49,020 easy mode the guy I always point out to 1535 01:02:53,270 --> 01:02:50,640 is 1536 01:02:55,670 --> 01:02:53,280 um coupe the the alternative rock art 1537 01:02:58,490 --> 01:02:55,680 guy who was really big poster artists in 1538 01:03:00,710 --> 01:02:58,500 the 90s the zaftig devil women 1539 01:03:03,370 --> 01:03:00,720 that's the guy

01:04:15,710 --> 01:04:14,220 um causal line that led you to the point 1571 01:04:17,569 --> 01:04:15,720 of where you're at and you're actually 1572 01:04:18,950 --> 01:04:17,579 like tell me

01:04:46,490 --> 01:04:43,859 um have you read and I'm not going to be 1585 01:04:49,010 --> 01:04:46,500 able to say the guy's name because it's 1586 01:04:51,289 --> 01:04:49,020 it's tremendously

01:05:17,940 argues that yeah there's very few people 1597 01:05:23,030 --> 01:05:19,859 like true creativity is original thought 1598 01:05:25,970 --> 01:05:23,040 processes and 1599 01:05:28,010 --> 01:05:25,980 um it's like those those breakthrough 1600 01:05:30,170 --> 01:05:28,020 moments that come for a select few 1601 01:05:32,990 --> 01:05:30,180 individuals that move our society 1602 01:05:34,670 --> 01:05:33,000 forward and one of the things that's 1603 01:05:36,770 --> 01:05:34,680 actually interesting to me about this 1604 01:05:38,390 --> 01:05:36,780 because I I really and he talks about 1605 01:05:40,069 --> 01:05:38,400 personal creativity like if you're 1606 01:05:40,910 --> 01:05:40,079 sitting in your like you're me and 1607 01:05:42,530 --> 01:05:40,920 you're sitting around you're like 1608 01:05:44,690 --> 01:05:42,540 Paranormal championship wrestling that's 1609 01:05:46,609 --> 01:05:44,700 a cool idea or you're working on an 1610 01:05:48,410 --> 01:05:46,619 individual piece that that's a personal 1611 01:05:51,109 --> 01:05:48,420 creativity is different what's 1612 01:05:53,089 --> 01:05:51,119 interesting to me though when he talks 1613 01:05:53,990 --> 01:05:53,099 about that is 1614 01:05:57,890 --> 01:05:54,000 um 1615 01:06:00,049 --> 01:05:57,900 there's a frequent level of like not 1616 01:06:02,210 --> 01:06:00,059 like it comes from within but it comes 1617 01:06:05,150 --> 01:06:02,220 from without or it's like the you know 1618 01:06:06,410 --> 01:06:05,160 the Divine spark or this 1619 01:06:09,829 --> 01:06:06,420 um connection to the higher 1620 01:06:12,950 --> 01:06:09,839 Consciousness yes although in my my 1621 01:06:15,049 --> 01:06:12,960 personal life like little like minor bit 1622 01:06:18,289 --> 01:06:15,059 of research writing and stuff that I 1623 01:06:20,569 --> 01:06:18,299 have done I also the relate 1624 01:06:23,510 --> 01:06:20,579 um the expression of personal creativity 1625 01:06:26,089 --> 01:06:23,520 when you're in that flow state to SCI 1626 01:06:28,010 --> 01:06:26,099 phenomena that is 1627 01:06:30,770 --> 01:06:28,020 um the dowsing reflex 1628 01:06:32,329 --> 01:06:30,780 yes oh this is I love when you talk 1629 01:06:33,829 --> 01:06:32,339 about there's definitely something there 1630 01:06:36,410 --> 01:06:33,839 all the time 1631 01:06:39,890 --> 01:06:36,420 um Mike I want to hear your thoughts on 1632 01:06:42,230 --> 01:06:39,900 where creativity comes from so 1633 01:06:44,450 --> 01:06:42,240 well I was just gonna say I mean I don't 1634 01:06:46,130 --> 01:06:44,460 from a waking or day-to-day 1635 01:06:48,049 --> 01:06:46,140 Consciousness State I don't think we can 1636 01:06:50,809 --> 01:06:48,059 achieve what you're talking about or if 1637 01:06:51,710 --> 01:06:50,819 they if people can it's very few 1638 01:06:53,690 --> 01:06:51,720 um or it's something you have to 1639 01:06:57,170 --> 01:06:53,700 cultivate throughout your whole life uh 1640 01:06:59,029 --> 01:06:57,180 to not do these predictive patterns that 1641 01:07:00,650 --> 01:06:59,039 everybody does 1642 01:07:04,430 --> 01:07:00,660 um 1643 01:07:06,170 --> 01:07:04,440 I have had again high-dose psilocybin 1644 01:07:09,109 --> 01:07:06,180 experience in the dark where I was shown 1645 01:07:11,569 --> 01:07:09,119 that that is the realm of creativity and 1646 01:07:13,609 --> 01:07:11,579 things can be pulled from that realm and 1647 01:07:15,529 --> 01:07:13,619 brought into this realm if you know what 1648 01:07:16,670 --> 01:07:15,539 you're doing most people as you 1649 01:07:18,289 --> 01:07:16,680 mentioned will take these things 1650 01:07:19,490 --> 01:07:18,299 recreationally they won't think twice 1651 01:07:21,589 --> 01:07:19,500 about it I'm sure a lot of those people 1652 01:07:23,390 --> 01:07:21,599 have had amazing breakthroughs or 1653 01:07:24,890 --> 01:07:23,400 amazing experiences they just don't know 1654 01:07:27,529 --> 01:07:24,900 what to do with it or they don't have 1655 01:07:31,010 --> 01:07:27,539 the tools or the faculties to 1656 01:07:33,230 --> 01:07:31,020 facilitate a way to you know come up or 1657 01:07:36,109 --> 01:07:33,240 you know actually make that invention or 1658 01:07:37,970 --> 01:07:36,119 write that song or whatever the case may 1659 01:07:40,250 --> 01:07:37,980 be so 1660 01:07:43,190 --> 01:07:40,260 um I'm not advocating that everybody 1661 01:07:45,170 --> 01:07:43,200 does psychedelics but I do think it is 1662 01:07:47,029 --> 01:07:45,180 one of the best tools we have to get 1663 01:07:51,529 --> 01:07:47,039 outside of our own Consciousness and our 1664 01:07:54,950 --> 01:07:51,539 own way and peer Beyond the Veil and see 1665 01:07:57,230 --> 01:07:54,960 um what potentially doors could open up 1666 01:07:58,549 --> 01:07:57,240 um that you know we're at a standstill 1667 01:08:00,950 --> 01:07:58,559 right now we're at a standstill in 1668 01:08:03,650 --> 01:08:00,960 physics we're at standstill 1669 01:08:05,089 --> 01:08:03,660 um you know in medicine in a lot of ways 1670 01:08:06,950 --> 01:08:05,099 and even though there's breakthroughs in 1671 01:08:09,289 --> 01:08:06,960 these these fields and things like that 1672 01:08:11,510 --> 01:08:09,299 it's it's very slow compared to our 1673 01:08:12,529 --> 01:08:11,520 technology and I feel like this is 1674 01:08:15,289 --> 01:08:12,539 dangerous because I feel like we're 1675 01:08:18,110 --> 01:08:15,299 entering a phase where technology is 1676 01:08:20,090 --> 01:08:18,120 expanding exponentially and our biology 1677 01:08:21,530 --> 01:08:20,100 is in keeping up with it and it's not 1678 01:08:23,689 --> 01:08:21,540 going to be able to keep up with it much 1679 01:08:26,090 --> 01:08:23,699 longer and we have to figure out a way 1680 01:08:27,709 --> 01:08:26,100 and then this isn't like a doomsday oh 1681 01:08:29,709 --> 01:08:27,719 my God the robots are taking over or 1682 01:08:32,870 --> 01:08:29,719 anything like that I just mean that like 1683 01:08:34,550 --> 01:08:32,880 where we are going our minds are going 1684 01:08:37,910 --> 01:08:34,560 further than where our bodies are going 1685 01:08:41,329 --> 01:08:37,920 right now and if we don't marry those 1686 01:08:43,189 --> 01:08:41,339 two or or close that Gap I don't think 1687 01:08:44,749 --> 01:08:43,199 that um 1688 01:08:45,829 --> 01:08:44,759 I don't know I don't think it's going to 1689 01:08:48,829 --> 01:08:45,839 be I think it's going to be a weird 1690 01:08:51,229 --> 01:08:48,839 future to be honest 1691 01:08:53,870 --> 01:08:51,239 I mean this is always one of the things 1692 01:08:56,450 --> 01:08:53,880 I've heard discussed a lot in spaces 1693 01:08:58,370 --> 01:08:56,460 around ethical technology and Humane 1694 01:09:03,289 --> 01:08:58,380 design is this idea that our 1695 01:09:05,689 --> 01:09:03,299 technological progress is outpacing by a 1696 01:09:07,490 --> 01:09:05,699 very very wide margin 1697 01:09:09,950 --> 01:09:07,500 um any of our ethical and sort of 1698 01:09:12,530 --> 01:09:09,960 cultural capacities to understand this 1699 01:09:15,829 --> 01:09:12,540 and I would also say like 1700 01:09:18,349 --> 01:09:15,839 I mean one of the 1701 01:09:20,510 --> 01:09:18,359 uh I see lots of Twitter spaces hosted 1702 01:09:22,430 --> 01:09:20,520 to talk about AI by lots of people that 1703 01:09:26,470 --> 01:09:22,440 functionally have no [\h__\h] idea of 1704 01:09:32,329 --> 01:09:29,390 AI is like like I see it a lot in the 1705 01:09:34,309 --> 01:09:32,339 UFO Community people talking about AI uh 1706 01:09:36,169 --> 01:09:34,319 who have no functional knowledge of what 1707 01:09:38,209 --> 01:09:36,179 AI actually is 1708 01:09:41,870 --> 01:09:38,219 um and especially its limitations right 1709 01:09:45,289 --> 01:09:41,880 like for people who are not well versed 1710 01:09:48,289 --> 01:09:45,299 with how large language models work 1711 01:09:50,150 --> 01:09:48,299 or how computer Vision Works like Chachi 1712 01:09:52,130 --> 01:09:50,160 PT and mid-journey are functionally 1713 01:09:53,689 --> 01:09:52,140 equivalent to Magic right it's it's 1714 01:09:55,010 --> 01:09:53,699 extraordinary and they are extraordinary 1715 01:09:56,750 --> 01:09:55,020 they're incredibly powerful tools 1716 01:09:58,910 --> 01:09:56,760 they're very cool they're very 1717 01:10:01,729 --> 01:09:58,920 interesting but we are only at the 1718 01:10:03,530 --> 01:10:01,739 earliest earliest edge of any kind of 1719 01:10:05,709 --> 01:10:03,540 meaningful AI 1720 01:10:09,169 --> 01:10:07,790 people are already getting sued for 1721 01:10:11,150 --> 01:10:09,179 artwork being stolen people already 1722 01:10:13,250 --> 01:10:11,160 getting sued for 1723 01:10:14,990 --> 01:10:13,260 um research being done books written 1724 01:10:17,570 --> 01:10:15,000 like this is already happening like 1725 01:10:20,570 --> 01:10:17,580 again these aren't these language 1726 01:10:22,910 --> 01:10:20,580 modelers they're not coming up with 1727 01:10:24,830 --> 01:10:22,920 anything they are taking things that are 1728 01:10:26,330 --> 01:10:24,840 already on the internet and they are 1729 01:10:28,010 --> 01:10:26,340 putting it in front of you and you might 1730 01:10:30,229 --> 01:10:28,020 not have heard of it and it might seem 1731 01:10:32,570 --> 01:10:30,239 new or cool to you but if you've looked 1732 01:10:34,370 --> 01:10:32,580 into any of these Fringe things if 1733 01:10:35,810 --> 01:10:34,380 you've read all the books that I've read 1734 01:10:38,630 --> 01:10:35,820 Leah's read all these people have read 1735 01:10:40,790 --> 01:10:38,640 you would know most of this [\h__\h] but you 1736 01:10:44,330 --> 01:10:40,800 don't so sorry if I'm getting off a read 1737 01:10:47,689 --> 01:10:44,340 a [\h__\h] book okay trust me yes 1738 01:10:50,390 --> 01:10:47,699 the way we're describing AI here is um 1739 01:10:51,890 --> 01:10:50,400 kind of modeling it after other things 1740 01:10:53,510 --> 01:10:51,900 makes me kind of 1741 01:10:54,590 --> 01:10:53,520 almost circled back to what we were 1742 01:10:57,590 --> 01:10:54,600 talking about before and create 1743 01:10:59,570 --> 01:10:57,600 creativity and inspiration and I'm kind 1744 01:11:02,090 --> 01:10:59,580 of not not to linger on that too long 1745 01:11:04,310 --> 01:11:02,100 but I'm kind of wondering how you 1746 01:11:07,010 --> 01:11:04,320 um distinguish you know an original 1747 01:11:09,229 --> 01:11:07,020 thought from maybe one that is you know 1748 01:11:11,149 --> 01:11:09,239 inspired by like we were talking about 1749 01:11:14,209 --> 01:11:11,159 earlier a million different subconscious 1750 01:11:15,290 --> 01:11:14,219 decisions that are that are from like a 1751 01:11:17,630 --> 01:11:15,300 million different influence like 1752 01:11:19,070 --> 01:11:17,640 subconscious influences throughout our 1753 01:11:20,510 --> 01:11:19,080 lives you know how are we distinguishing 1754 01:11:24,290 --> 01:11:20,520 this how are we identifying these things 1755 01:11:28,790 --> 01:11:26,689 the AI thing though and kind of what 1756 01:11:31,970 --> 01:11:28,800 we're experiencing is who this ties in 1757 01:11:33,050 --> 01:11:31,980 and one of the things I do think um I do 1758 01:11:35,930 --> 01:11:33,060 want to emphasize that difference 1759 01:11:38,209 --> 01:11:35,940 between like the the large um or our 1760 01:11:40,430 --> 01:11:38,219 Hungarian friends like lart creativity 1761 01:11:43,570 --> 01:11:40,440 writ large with an original idea and the 1762 01:11:47,030 --> 01:11:43,580 expression of personal creativity which 1763 01:11:50,570 --> 01:11:47,040 the individual to Rel like uh we're all 1764 01:11:51,950 --> 01:11:50,580 now immersed in culture to a degree that 1765 01:11:54,410 --> 01:11:51,960 I don't think anybody's going to have 1766 01:11:56,390 --> 01:11:54,420 original idea but one of the things that 1767 01:11:59,090 --> 01:11:56,400 I I do believe I do believe that 1768 01:12:02,450 --> 01:11:59,100 everybody can access personal creativity 1769 01:12:05,209 --> 01:12:02,460 and hone that like what I I considered a 1770 01:12:06,530 --> 01:12:05,219 sci phenomena home the dowsing reflex to 1771 01:12:09,290 --> 01:12:06,540 make intuitive decisions on your 1772 01:12:11,330 --> 01:12:09,300 personal creativity what I see in the 1773 01:12:15,590 --> 01:12:11,340 world on the on the internet with all 1774 01:12:17,870 --> 01:12:15,600 this stuff is right now we don't have a 1775 01:12:20,450 --> 01:12:17,880 society that values developing that 1776 01:12:22,370 --> 01:12:20,460 skill set we don't have a society that 1777 01:12:25,070 --> 01:12:22,380 encourages people one of the like one of 1778 01:12:27,290 --> 01:12:25,080 the worst things about kind of um stem 1779 01:12:29,870 --> 01:12:27,300 education you're talking about the the 1780 01:12:32,450 --> 01:12:29,880 kind of the um 1781 01:12:35,030 --> 01:12:32,460 big science is gone it's really we're 1782 01:12:37,910 --> 01:12:35,040 really encouraging people to get an 1783 01:12:41,270 --> 01:12:37,920 education that will benefit them in like 1784 01:12:43,070 --> 01:12:41,280 a high-paying job in the workforce a lot 1785 01:12:46,130 --> 01:12:43,080 of people are experiencing personal 1786 01:12:50,030 --> 01:12:46,140 creativity that for the first time in 1787 01:12:53,750 --> 01:12:50,040 their lives using the language models 1788 01:12:55,669 --> 01:12:53,760 using the um image generation things and 1789 01:12:57,830 --> 01:12:55,679 to them it is a miracle and that sort of 1790 01:13:00,229 --> 01:12:57,840 speech I mean that is a reflection 1791 01:13:01,910 --> 01:13:00,239 though largely of the you know Leah you 1792 01:13:04,189 --> 01:13:01,920 always talk about the uh what is it the 1793 01:13:06,709 --> 01:13:04,199 epidemiological crisis that we 1794 01:13:09,590 --> 01:13:06,719 experience that's a large part of that 1795 01:13:12,610 --> 01:13:09,600 it's like everybody is kind of 1796 01:13:15,709 --> 01:13:12,620 um doesn't have 1797 01:13:17,930 --> 01:13:15,719 their ideas were never valued they never 1798 01:13:20,330 --> 01:13:17,940 learned to express themselves visually 1799 01:13:21,950 --> 01:13:20,340 or as writers or as musicians or 1800 01:13:24,709 --> 01:13:21,960 anything and now they have a magic 1801 01:13:27,470 --> 01:13:24,719 machine that can bring that it is 1802 01:13:30,110 --> 01:13:27,480 bringing that out to them and it might 1803 01:13:31,970 --> 01:13:30,120 not be perfect as like somebody would 1804 01:13:33,169 --> 01:13:31,980 compose their own work but it's the 1805 01:13:37,010 --> 01:13:33,179 first time they've ever been able to 1806 01:13:39,590 --> 01:13:37,020 realize that urge and that's why it is 1807 01:13:41,510 --> 01:13:39,600 like it's hard in a way like I feel a 1808 01:13:43,070 --> 01:13:41,520 lot of sympathy for those people because 1809 01:13:44,689 --> 01:13:43,080 people like me that are like a 1810 01:13:47,390 --> 01:13:44,699 professional creative I'm like I'm like 1811 01:13:50,510 --> 01:13:47,400 this all sucks this is all trash like 1812 01:13:54,709 --> 01:13:50,520 you know everything about this is trash 1813 01:13:57,350 --> 01:13:54,719 but like it's also to them they are they 1814 01:13:59,750 --> 01:13:57,360 are now hanging their picture on the 1815 01:14:01,370 --> 01:13:59,760 refrigerator and it's like being able to 1816 01:14:03,709 --> 01:14:01,380 realize that for themselves and it's 1817 01:14:06,290 --> 01:14:03,719 beautiful for them it's just a disaster 1818 01:14:08,990 --> 01:14:06,300 like for culture at large except don't 1819 01:14:10,729 --> 01:14:09,000 worry it's going to implode because as 1820 01:14:12,709 --> 01:14:10,739 where people generate more shitty 1821 01:14:14,149 --> 01:14:12,719 content through language models and put 1822 01:14:16,370 --> 01:14:14,159 it on the internet and the language 1823 01:14:19,490 --> 01:14:16,380 model learns from that eventually it's 1824 01:14:21,709 --> 01:14:19,500 just going to implode like Multiplicity 1825 01:14:23,990 --> 01:14:21,719 with uh with Michael Keaton 1826 01:14:26,390 --> 01:14:24,000 those are fantastic I love Michael 1827 01:14:28,930 --> 01:14:26,400 Keaton just my favorite actor favorite 1828 01:14:30,830 --> 01:14:28,940 actor great I'm sorry I digress 1829 01:14:31,729 --> 01:14:30,840 [Laughter] 1830 01:14:34,130 --> 01:14:31,739 um 1831 01:14:36,830 --> 01:14:34,140 yeah I mean I think that Crea again 1832 01:14:38,030 --> 01:14:36,840 creativity is one of those things where 1833 01:14:41,209 --> 01:14:38,040 um we all like to think we're original 1834 01:14:42,770 --> 01:14:41,219 but even when I know a couple people 1835 01:14:44,570 --> 01:14:42,780 like somebody posted something one time 1836 01:14:46,669 --> 01:14:44,580 they thought it was so original and 1837 01:14:49,010 --> 01:14:46,679 literally somebody retweeted like five 1838 01:14:52,669 --> 01:14:49,020 other people below that it said the 1839 01:14:55,790 --> 01:14:52,679 exact same thing you know so it's like 1840 01:14:57,649 --> 01:14:55,800 but it was it was it you know creative 1841 01:14:59,689 --> 01:14:57,659 to them was it unique to them well that 1842 01:15:01,669 --> 01:14:59,699 but okay but that brings me back to my 1843 01:15:03,910 --> 01:15:01,679 point so you you mentioned earlier Nick 1844 01:15:06,830 --> 01:15:03,920 you said how would we know if it's truly 1845 01:15:08,570 --> 01:15:06,840 original or creative and I think that 1846 01:15:10,370 --> 01:15:08,580 you know look throughout history you 1847 01:15:13,209 --> 01:15:10,380 know like people fight you know why are 1848 01:15:16,070 --> 01:15:13,219 there pyramids all over the world well 1849 01:15:18,290 --> 01:15:16,080 archaeologists will tell you that 1850 01:15:21,410 --> 01:15:18,300 um burial mounds progressively got more 1851 01:15:23,330 --> 01:15:21,420 you know mastabas got more 1852 01:15:24,830 --> 01:15:23,340 um intricate and then they slowly 1853 01:15:26,770 --> 01:15:24,840 started to build up and then the 1854 01:15:29,689 --> 01:15:26,780 triangles the you know the most likely 1855 01:15:31,910 --> 01:15:29,699 uh shape to go you know therefore next 1856 01:15:33,830 --> 01:15:31,920 you know stuff like that 1857 01:15:35,450 --> 01:15:33,840 um I do believe there is a collective 1858 01:15:37,370 --> 01:15:35,460 Consciousness though 1859 01:15:38,450 --> 01:15:37,380 um so you know there's different Vibes 1860 01:15:40,070 --> 01:15:38,460 to that what I just mentioned there's 1861 01:15:41,870 --> 01:15:40,080 people that'll say oh well Asian people 1862 01:15:43,669 --> 01:15:41,880 got around a lot more which we know now 1863 01:15:46,070 --> 01:15:43,679 is actually kind of true 1864 01:15:47,570 --> 01:15:46,080 um there will be people that'll say 1865 01:15:49,850 --> 01:15:47,580 um what I just said that it's just the 1866 01:15:51,050 --> 01:15:49,860 next logical step of Consciousness and 1867 01:15:52,970 --> 01:15:51,060 thinking 1868 01:15:54,649 --> 01:15:52,980 um and then I again I think that that 1869 01:15:56,810 --> 01:15:54,659 you look at that study with rats and how 1870 01:15:57,410 --> 01:15:56,820 rats are able to 1871 01:16:00,590 --> 01:15:57,420 um 1872 01:16:03,229 --> 01:16:00,600 signal across different like continents 1873 01:16:04,790 --> 01:16:03,239 to other rats somehow and different 1874 01:16:06,290 --> 01:16:04,800 traits and things you can look this up I 1875 01:16:08,149 --> 01:16:06,300 don't know how they do it or what it is 1876 01:16:10,070 --> 01:16:08,159 if it's some sort of I haven't heard of 1877 01:16:12,590 --> 01:16:10,080 that genetic signaling or something but 1878 01:16:14,390 --> 01:16:12,600 it's like some one group of rats starts 1879 01:16:16,490 --> 01:16:14,400 doing something and then the other group 1880 01:16:18,070 --> 01:16:16,500 instinctually knows how to do that I 1881 01:16:20,450 --> 01:16:18,080 mean you know then you can get wood 1882 01:16:22,910 --> 01:16:20,460 hundredth monkey effect or whatever yeah 1883 01:16:25,010 --> 01:16:22,920 it's for rats it it almost sounds like 1884 01:16:27,709 --> 01:16:25,020 the rats are entangled uh it's like a 1885 01:16:28,330 --> 01:16:27,719 it's like I'm just gonna say yeah yeah 1886 01:16:30,709 --> 01:16:28,340 yeah 1887 01:16:33,350 --> 01:16:30,719 so is that is that the case and that 1888 01:16:35,030 --> 01:16:33,360 might be the case but 1889 01:16:36,169 --> 01:16:35,040 um we got to do our due diligence so we 1890 01:16:38,149 --> 01:16:36,179 gotta figure we gotta get to the heart 1891 01:16:40,189 --> 01:16:38,159 of it it could be that or maybe these um 1892 01:16:42,350 --> 01:16:40,199 these similarities in Human Experience 1893 01:16:44,330 --> 01:16:42,360 so all across the world kind of speaks 1894 01:16:46,370 --> 01:16:44,340 more to the fact that maybe our 1895 01:16:48,590 --> 01:16:46,380 Consciousness or self-awareness is more 1896 01:16:51,229 --> 01:16:48,600 of an illusion like we talked about in 1897 01:16:52,790 --> 01:16:51,239 the beginning because I mean like we you 1898 01:16:54,110 --> 01:16:52,800 see you see a lot of folklore that 1899 01:16:56,149 --> 01:16:54,120 crosses cultures although they have 1900 01:16:58,490 --> 01:16:56,159 different names I always bring up um 1901 01:17:00,290 --> 01:16:58,500 sleep paralysis the sleep paralysis 1902 01:17:02,930 --> 01:17:00,300 characters that different cultures have 1903 01:17:04,910 --> 01:17:02,940 created are essentially the same thing 1904 01:17:08,090 --> 01:17:04,920 uh although they have different kind of 1905 01:17:11,149 --> 01:17:08,100 window dresses right uh the choking 1906 01:17:12,709 --> 01:17:11,159 ghosts in Japan but but it's based on a 1907 01:17:15,050 --> 01:17:12,719 similar experience and we all have these 1908 01:17:17,450 --> 01:17:15,060 experiences we all have dreams of flying 1909 01:17:20,750 --> 01:17:17,460 and falling and teeth falling out and 1910 01:17:22,850 --> 01:17:20,760 wetting the bed when things like that to 1911 01:17:24,890 --> 01:17:22,860 some extent though on that we're all I 1912 01:17:27,590 --> 01:17:24,900 mean when you think about that we're all 1913 01:17:29,870 --> 01:17:27,600 Homo sapiens sapiens yeah they're all 1914 01:17:32,630 --> 01:17:29,880 descended from the original 1915 01:17:34,970 --> 01:17:32,640 group that came out of a certain Trump 1916 01:17:36,410 --> 01:17:34,980 of Africa and some of those things I 1917 01:17:39,110 --> 01:17:36,420 mean when you look at other animals 1918 01:17:41,810 --> 01:17:39,120 there are some things that are instinct 1919 01:17:44,930 --> 01:17:41,820 that and you know this gets to one of 1920 01:17:46,970 --> 01:17:44,940 those things is like um is is Con did 1921 01:17:48,610 --> 01:17:46,980 Consciousness evolve because it was 1922 01:17:51,290 --> 01:17:48,620 evolutionary like evolutionary 1923 01:17:53,930 --> 01:17:51,300 advantageous for us to survive and just 1924 01:17:56,689 --> 01:17:53,940 being able to be like bummed about stuff 1925 01:18:00,229 --> 01:17:56,699 in the abstract is an unfortunate side 1926 01:18:03,229 --> 01:18:00,239 effect you know I I don't I don't know 1927 01:18:06,410 --> 01:18:03,239 that's my theory uh um mysteries in 1928 01:18:08,149 --> 01:18:06,420 general right now is that the Mysteries 1929 01:18:10,189 --> 01:18:08,159 um are us dangling the carrot in front 1930 01:18:11,870 --> 01:18:10,199 of ourselves as some sort of built-in 1931 01:18:15,350 --> 01:18:11,880 evolutionary mechanism to keep 1932 01:18:17,209 --> 01:18:15,360 propelling keep surviving and you know 1933 01:18:19,970 --> 01:18:17,219 you can Richard Dawkins is probably the 1934 01:18:21,770 --> 01:18:19,980 most Bleak thinker on the topic but 1935 01:18:24,110 --> 01:18:21,780 um I would make the point that there is 1936 01:18:26,510 --> 01:18:24,120 Telos or purpose to life because just in 1937 01:18:28,790 --> 01:18:26,520 the fact that life needs to survive or 1938 01:18:30,890 --> 01:18:28,800 has that urge to survive that is purpose 1939 01:18:33,050 --> 01:18:30,900 in itself so 1940 01:18:35,030 --> 01:18:33,060 um yeah yeah I mean I think that there's 1941 01:18:38,270 --> 01:18:35,040 something to that I just don't we you 1942 01:18:39,910 --> 01:18:38,280 know we got to keep pushing that uh that 1943 01:18:42,050 --> 01:18:39,920 boulder up the mountain 1944 01:18:43,430 --> 01:18:42,060 for the next person because we're all 1945 01:18:48,950 --> 01:18:43,440 gonna die and that Boulder's gonna start 1946 01:18:54,770 --> 01:18:51,590 um upload my brain to the internet Elon 1947 01:18:57,410 --> 01:18:54,780 it's just a copy though right it's like 1948 01:18:59,209 --> 01:18:57,420 it's like it's like the beaming in Star 1949 01:19:01,970 --> 01:18:59,219 Trek they die every time they do that 1950 01:19:04,130 --> 01:19:01,980 it's the same my brain send my brain of 1951 01:19:07,310 --> 01:19:04,140 the special Access program put me put me 1952 01:19:10,310 --> 01:19:07,320 in the hanger with the uh um I don't 1953 01:19:13,070 --> 01:19:10,320 know I don't care if I have to if I yes 1954 01:19:15,649 --> 01:19:13,080 I I will ship a Theseus myself into 1955 01:19:17,870 --> 01:19:15,659 whatever the next thing is as long as I 1956 01:19:19,310 --> 01:19:17,880 can keep [\h__\h] posting 1957 01:19:20,990 --> 01:19:19,320 um 1958 01:19:27,290 --> 01:19:21,000 like Ghost in the Shell 1959 01:19:29,330 --> 01:19:27,300 with more [\h__\h] posting yes 1960 01:19:30,950 --> 01:19:29,340 well I mean that was you know that 1961 01:19:32,689 --> 01:19:30,960 reminds me though that was the whole 1962 01:19:34,930 --> 01:19:32,699 Crux of like the first real great 1963 01:19:37,610 --> 01:19:34,940 science fiction work was the like 1964 01:19:41,209 --> 01:19:37,620 emergence of true Consciousness in 1965 01:19:43,790 --> 01:19:41,219 Neuromancer at the end of that and then 1966 01:19:47,090 --> 01:19:43,800 we all decided to be the um 1967 01:19:49,490 --> 01:19:47,100 Haitian Yoruba deities because that was 1968 01:19:51,050 --> 01:19:49,500 just I guess I like that that was my 1969 01:19:52,850 --> 01:19:51,060 favorite part of that it was just kind 1970 01:19:54,590 --> 01:19:52,860 of the idea that AI becomes conscious 1971 01:19:58,390 --> 01:19:54,600 and then it's just like you would be 1972 01:20:02,209 --> 01:19:58,400 sick as hell as if I was like papalega 1973 01:20:04,070 --> 01:20:02,219 like I'm doing that that's my culturally 1974 01:20:06,590 --> 01:20:04,080 appropriating this right now because 1975 01:20:09,950 --> 01:20:06,600 that would be rad 1976 01:20:12,709 --> 01:20:09,960 nice yeah you know I will say this uh 1977 01:20:14,990 --> 01:20:12,719 since having my son too like I've always 1978 01:20:16,010 --> 01:20:15,000 been interested in all these Mysteries I 1979 01:20:18,890 --> 01:20:16,020 feel like I have more of a 1980 01:20:22,070 --> 01:20:18,900 responsibility to think about it more 1981 01:20:24,770 --> 01:20:22,080 responsibly now so I can convey that to 1982 01:20:27,290 --> 01:20:24,780 him as opposed to being 1983 01:20:28,790 --> 01:20:27,300 like lost in the sauce on it you know 1984 01:20:31,189 --> 01:20:28,800 like I just 1985 01:20:32,930 --> 01:20:31,199 it was okay you know like and I just 1986 01:20:35,030 --> 01:20:32,940 feel like that's part of my maturity too 1987 01:20:36,350 --> 01:20:35,040 like I and I haven't

01:20:55,380 gonna bolster up people 1999 01:20:58,669 --> 01:20:57,239 um just because they're in headlines or 2000 01:21:00,709 --> 01:20:58,679 whatever and I'm not going to get on and 2001

2020 01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:47,760 people I don't interact with and I don't 2021 01:21:52,070 --> 01:21:50,460 do [\h__\h] so 2022 01:21:53,870 --> 01:21:52,080 um I'm cutting out all the [\h__\h] and 2023 01:21:56,510 --> 01:21:53,880 there's people that I've held up you 2024 01:21:59,330 --> 01:21:56,520 know in The Fringe whether it be Fringe 2025 01:22:02,270 --> 01:21:59,340 you know ancient stuff or the fringe 2026 01:22:03,350 --> 01:22:02,280 science stuff or whatever that 2027 01:22:05,270 --> 01:22:03,360 um you know some of those people are 2028 01:22:07,189 --> 01:22:05,280 pieces of [\h__\h] too so 2029 01:22:09,050 --> 01:22:07,199 um it's gonna be more 2030 01:22:12,649 --> 01:22:09,060 um yeah I know it's going to be just 2031 01:22:14,330 --> 01:22:12,659 straight straight talk going forward 2032 01:22:16,189 --> 01:22:14,340 I'm excited for this direction that 2033 01:22:17,689 --> 01:22:16,199 you're taking partly because you were a 2034 01:22:19,729 --> 01:22:17,699 huge influence on me when I started 2035 01:22:21,709 --> 01:22:19,739 getting interested in doing my own show 2036 01:22:24,229 --> 01:22:21,719 and you were one of the first people to 2037 01:22:26,030 --> 01:22:24,239 give me a chance and put me on 2038 01:22:27,709 --> 01:22:26,040 um but one of the things and we've 2039 01:22:29,810 --> 01:22:27,719 talked about this a bit on this show I'm 2040 01:22:31,970 --> 01:22:29,820 sure you can relate to it is basically 2041 01:22:34,729 --> 01:22:31,980 that ethical 2042 01:22:37,250 --> 01:22:34,739 um or moral obligations we have towards 2043 01:22:39,310 --> 01:22:37,260 the subjects we engage with particularly 2044 01:22:41,689 --> 01:22:39,320 during this period of basically 2045 01:22:43,729 --> 01:22:41,699 epistemological crisis where we're 2046 01:22:45,950 --> 01:22:43,739 living in this like post-truth period 2047 01:22:48,110 --> 01:22:45,960 like how do we talk about engage with 2048 01:22:49,610 --> 01:22:48,120 this subject without also simultaneously 2049 01:22:52,310 --> 01:22:49,620 legitimizing like some of the really 2050 01:22:57,169 --> 01:22:52,320 deleterious conspiracy style thinking 2051 01:22:58,130 --> 01:22:57,179 right uh a turn the biggest turn for me 2052 01:23:01,189 --> 01:22:58,140 um 2053 01:23:03,770 --> 01:23:01,199 I read Plato's dialogues all the way 2054 01:23:05,689 --> 01:23:03,780 through all of them probably three years 2055 01:23:06,590 --> 01:23:05,699 ago 2056 01:23:07,970 --> 01:23:06,600 um 2057 01:23:10,250 --> 01:23:07,980 and there's something that struck me 2058 01:23:12,470 --> 01:23:10,260 though when I re-read them like a year 2059 01:23:15,229 --> 01:23:12,480 and a half ago maybe two years ago which 2060 01:23:18,350 --> 01:23:15,239 was uh euthademus which is these two 2061 01:23:20,209 --> 01:23:18,360 brothers that are arguing with Socrates 2062 01:23:21,770 --> 01:23:20,219 and the square and they're making them 2063 01:23:23,570 --> 01:23:21,780 look dumb even though he doesn't care 2064 01:23:25,910 --> 01:23:23,580 because he's just asking them you know 2065 01:23:27,590 --> 01:23:25,920 he's using Socratic method 2066 01:23:29,870 --> 01:23:27,600 um and it the whole point of it's to 2067 01:23:31,910 --> 01:23:29,880 talk about aristic rhetoric aristic 2068 01:23:33,830 --> 01:23:31,920 rhetoric is rhetoric that you use to 2069 01:23:37,130 --> 01:23:33,840 argue but you're not after truth so 2070 01:23:39,830 --> 01:23:37,140 these two you know Diana Diana sidoris 2071 01:23:40,430 --> 01:23:39,840 whatever his name is in euthanas 2072 01:23:42,709 --> 01:23:40,440 um 2073 01:23:44,149 --> 01:23:42,719 arguing with Socrates without actually 2074 01:23:45,290 --> 01:23:44,159 trying to get after the truth they were 2075 01:23:46,550 --> 01:23:45,300 just trying to make them look dumb in 2076 01:23:49,430 --> 01:23:46,560 front of people and that's all the 2077 01:23:52,070 --> 01:23:49,440 internet is so it's on Twitter you know 2078 01:23:53,510 --> 01:23:52,080 people take a [\h__\h] on Plato sometimes or 2079 01:23:55,610 --> 01:23:53,520 he's old or he didn't know you know 2080 01:23:57,590 --> 01:23:55,620 whatever these values are flawed well he 2081 01:23:59,209 --> 01:23:57,600 had no [\h__\h] he lived you know 2 000 2082 01:24:00,050 --> 01:23:59,219 years ago or whatever things were 2083 01:24:01,669 --> 01:24:00,060 different 2084 01:24:03,410 --> 01:24:01,679 um but at the end of the day there's a 2085 01:24:04,729 --> 01:24:03,420 lot of Truth there too and I think that 2086 01:24:06,350 --> 01:24:04,739 that was a turning point for me to 2087 01:24:07,490 --> 01:24:06,360 realize I don't want to con I don't want 2088 01:24:08,870 --> 01:24:07,500 to compete with these people I don't 2089 01:24:10,729 --> 01:24:08,880 want to argue with these people I don't 2090 01:24:12,709 --> 01:24:10,739 want to deal with these people I'm going 2091 01:24:15,350 --> 01:24:12,719 to do what I want to do 2092 01:24:17,630 --> 01:24:15,360 um and that's just it and and for me you 2093 01:24:19,490 --> 01:24:17,640 know I love again these Mysteries I 2094 01:24:20,630 --> 01:24:19,500 think there's something to the UFO thing 2095 01:24:21,830 --> 01:24:20,640 I think there's something to 2096 01:24:23,090 --> 01:24:21,840 Consciousness I think there's something 2097 01:24:24,950 --> 01:24:23,100 to psychedelics I think there's 2098 01:24:26,810 --> 01:24:24,960 something to the Paranormal stuff I 2099 01:24:28,550 --> 01:24:26,820 think there's something to all of this I 2100 01:24:30,290 --> 01:24:28,560 don't know what it is I think these are 2101 01:24:31,910 --> 01:24:30,300 all metaphysics for a reason because 2102 01:24:34,130 --> 01:24:31,920 they're beyond the scope of our current 2103 01:24:35,630 --> 01:24:34,140 understanding and observation 2104 01:24:38,750 --> 01:24:35,640 um that's why they're all interesting to 2105 01:24:41,090 --> 01:24:38,760 us but again I'm not gonna just say 2106 01:24:43,430 --> 01:24:41,100 crazy [\h__\h] to get like circuit or 2107 01:24:45,169 --> 01:24:43,440 whatever I'm gonna if I if I don't make 2108 01:24:48,229 --> 01:24:45,179 a cent from this you know I don't really 2109 01:24:49,550 --> 01:24:48,239 care it's all about truth 2110 01:24:51,470 --> 01:24:49,560 yes 2111 01:24:52,490 --> 01:24:51,480 so we're getting to the bottom of the 2112 01:24:54,649 --> 01:24:52,500 hour 2113 01:24:56,030 --> 01:24:54,659 um before we wrap up I'd love for

already premiered our documentary 2151 01:26:25,129 --> 01:26:17,580 at 2152 01:26:28,910 --> 01:26:25,139 two months ago uh we won an award which 2153 01:26:32,689 --> 01:26:28,920 was very very unexpected and very nice 2154 01:26:35,870 --> 01:26:32,699 um and in terms of uh 2155 01:26:37,550 --> 01:26:35,880 what we do next with the documentary I'm 2156 01:26:40,129 --> 01:26:37,560 just trying to think 2157 01:26:42,530 --> 01:26:40,139 um first of all what's it called 2158 01:26:45,649 --> 01:26:42,540 you tell everybody what's it called 2159 01:26:48,770 --> 01:26:45,659 uh I always remember the tagline of um 2160 01:26:51,890 --> 01:26:48,780 from UFOs to DMT as within so without 2161 01:26:54,110 --> 01:26:51,900 from being opposed to DMT so so you 2162 01:26:55,850 --> 01:26:54,120 actually I forget the first part because 2163 01:26:58,850 --> 01:26:55,860 we've talked so much about what to call 2164 01:27:00,590 --> 01:26:58,860 it at one point yeah you so I had a 2165 01:27:02,750 --> 01:27:00,600 different title this is the story I had 2166 01:27:07,430 --> 01:27:02,760 a different title I had the experiences 2167 01:27:09,649 --> 01:27:07,440 from UFOs or UAP to DMT and then that 2168 01:27:11,270 --> 01:27:09,659 whole thing happened with saucerco and 2169 01:27:12,830 --> 01:27:11,280 they started like suing people and 2170 01:27:15,590 --> 01:27:12,840 having people take every anything that 2171 01:27:16,970 --> 01:27:15,600 had UAP on it so I'm like oh [\h__\h] I'm 2172 01:27:18,169 --> 01:27:16,980 making this documentary I don't want to 2173 01:27:19,669 --> 01:27:18,179 deal with this what if we want to make 2174 01:27:21,350 --> 01:27:19,679 merchandise what if we want to make a 2175 01:27:22,790 --> 01:27:21,360 t-shirt or whatever I don't want to deal 2176 01:27:25,370 --> 01:27:22,800 with this at all 2177 01:27:26,689 --> 01:27:25,380 um so then we had to kind of we at that 2178 01:27:28,129 --> 01:27:26,699 point we were still editing the 2179 01:27:29,810 --> 01:27:28,139 documentary so it wasn't that big of a 2180 01:27:32,810 --> 01:27:29,820 deal so I'm like I gotta come up with a 2181 01:27:35,209 --> 01:27:32,820 new name and I was on a family vacation 2182 01:27:37,970 --> 01:27:35,219 we were in Florida and I was just like 2183 01:27:39,530 --> 01:27:37,980 kind of swimming all day just thinking 2184 01:27:41,689 --> 01:27:39,540 meditating 2185 01:27:44,149 --> 01:27:41,699 um and then I texted Leah like five 2186 01:27:45,950 --> 01:27:44,159 options and I I had one in mind and she 2187 01:27:48,350 --> 01:27:45,960 picked the same one out of the five that 2188 01:27:49,970 --> 01:27:48,360 I was like leaning towards 2189 01:27:52,850 --> 01:27:49,980 um so I kind of just went with that one 2190 01:27:54,890 --> 01:27:52,860 because I felt like it did convey which 2191 01:27:56,870 --> 01:27:54,900 is as within so without which is not 2192 01:27:57,530 --> 01:27:56,880 part of the original 2193 01:28:00,530 --> 01:27:57,540 um 2194 01:28:03,950 --> 01:28:00,540 you know hermetic uh or uh 2195 01:28:05,689 --> 01:28:03,960 Emerald Tablet thing but you know it's 2196 01:28:08,270 --> 01:28:05,699 an interesting aspect of it nonetheless 2197 01:28:09,709 --> 01:28:08,280 and it conveys the UFO thing to me which 2198 01:28:13,189 --> 01:28:09,719 is that it has to do with Consciousness 2199 01:28:15,050 --> 01:28:13,199 as within so without in terms of 2200 01:28:17,149 --> 01:28:15,060 um you know most people as above so 2201 01:28:19,370 --> 01:28:17,159 below would make more sense uh because 2202 01:28:21,770 --> 01:28:19,380 of the UFO but I disagree I think it's 2203 01:28:25,729 --> 01:28:21,780 as within so without 2204 01:28:28,030 --> 01:28:25,739 um and uh from UFOs to DMT and yeah it's 2205 01:28:30,470 --> 01:28:28,040 it's a it's a 2206 01:28:32,270 --> 01:28:30,480 so I don't want to go too much into it 2207 01:28:35,149 --> 01:28:32,280 but just the backstory behind it like 2208 01:28:37,070 --> 01:28:35,159 three years ago I saw we were gonna make 2209 01:28:38,750 --> 01:28:37,080 a documentary our first documentary on 2210 01:28:41,149 --> 01:28:38,760 near-death experiences my mom had a 2211 01:28:42,890 --> 01:28:41,159 traditional near-death experience we had 2212 01:28:45,290 --> 01:28:42,900 tons of people 2213 01:28:47,629 --> 01:28:45,300 um on our show so far uh one guy had two 2214 01:28:49,250 --> 01:28:47,639 real near-death experiences 2215 01:28:50,689 --> 01:28:49,260 um he had a heart transplant like all 2216 01:28:52,790 --> 01:28:50,699 sorts of stuff so we had all that stuff 2217 01:28:54,890 --> 01:28:52,800 like lined up uh and information 2218 01:28:56,450 --> 01:28:54,900 everything but then the pandemic hit so 2219 01:28:58,129 --> 01:28:56,460 they were like oh [\h__\h] we can't fly 2220 01:28:59,570 --> 01:28:58,139 everywhere and see everybody what are we 2221 01:29:02,030 --> 01:28:59,580 gonna do 2222 01:29:03,709 --> 01:29:02,040 um I saw my buddy uh Chris Wolford post 2223 01:29:06,290 --> 01:29:03,719 something about how he you know he's 2224 01:29:09,470 --> 01:29:06,300 never told his story fully and at that 2225 01:29:12,649 --> 01:29:09,480 time I was still I was in between being 2226 01:29:14,510 --> 01:29:12,659 interested in the the government stuff 2227 01:29:16,010 --> 01:29:14,520 but starting to lean more towards 2228 01:29:17,870 --> 01:29:16,020 experience because I didn't feel like 2229 01:29:21,950 --> 01:29:17,880 there was much to the government stuff I 2230 01:29:23,689 --> 01:29:21,960 feel like most of the the good info lies 2231 01:29:26,930 --> 01:29:23,699 within 2232 01:29:29,030 --> 01:29:26,940 um the experiencer aspect of it so 2233 01:29:32,750 --> 01:29:29,040 um and Chris is a straight guy I'm a 2234 01:29:34,790 --> 01:29:32,760 Detroit guy just kind of worked out so 2235 01:29:36,470 --> 01:29:34,800 um so we just linked up and we just 2236 01:29:37,850 --> 01:29:36,480 started snowballing ideas and he was 2237 01:29:39,470 --> 01:29:37,860 cool he's like I just want to tell my 2238 01:29:41,990 --> 01:29:39,480 story and you guys do whatever you want 2239 01:29:43,490 --> 01:29:42,000 you know with the rest of it and I had 2240 01:29:46,010 --> 01:29:43,500 the idea 2241 01:29:46,910 --> 01:29:46,020 um well what's what kind of crossover do 2242 01:29:49,490 --> 01:29:46,920 we have because it's all about 2243 01:29:52,750 --> 01:29:49,500 Consciousness and I've had entity 2244 01:29:55,010 --> 01:29:52,760 experiences and UFO experiences and 2245 01:29:56,810 --> 01:29:55,020 psychedelic experiences and Altered 2246 01:30:00,590 --> 01:29:56,820 States of consciousness 2247 01:30:01,430 --> 01:30:00,600 what's up uh sorry my cats freaking out 2248 01:30:04,850 --> 01:30:01,440 um 2249 01:30:05,450 --> 01:30:04,860 and uh you know I've had all sorts of 2250 01:30:07,850 --> 01:30:05,460 um 2251 01:30:09,950 --> 01:30:07,860 you know weird experiences and stuff 2252 01:30:11,870 --> 01:30:09,960 like that so like what can we do so then 2253 01:30:14,570 --> 01:30:11,880 I thought okay well 2254 01:30:16,250 --> 01:30:14,580 um you know Leah can speak to this but 2255 01:30:17,510 --> 01:30:16,260 you know there's Dr Andrew galemore 2256 01:30:19,850 --> 01:30:17,520 who's written the book alien information 2257 01:30:23,570 --> 01:30:19,860 Theory there's a lot of information on 2258 01:30:26,149 --> 01:30:23,580 DMT I know a lot about psychedelics 2259 01:30:28,070 --> 01:30:26,159 um and I've had weird UFO slash alien 2260 01:30:29,810 --> 01:30:28,080 experiences on psychedelics I just felt 2261 01:30:32,330 --> 01:30:29,820 like that was something I could speak to 2262 01:30:34,910 --> 01:30:32,340 through other people and ask questions 2263 01:30:38,930 --> 01:30:34,920 that I felt I could evoke almost using 2264 01:30:40,430 --> 01:30:38,940 the Socratic method could uh get that 2265 01:30:42,050 --> 01:30:40,440 out of people so that's kind of what I 2266 01:30:44,450 --> 01:30:42,060 did I just asked questions where I felt 2267 01:30:45,770 --> 01:30:44,460 like I would get a general answer based 2268 01:30:46,850 --> 01:30:45,780 on what I already knew about these 2269 01:30:50,450 --> 01:30:46,860 people 2270 01:30:52,490 --> 01:30:50,460 um and uh so I mean I didn't train 2271 01:30:54,110 --> 01:30:52,500 anybody or change or manipulate anything 2272 01:30:56,209 --> 01:30:54,120 it was just 2273 01:30:59,270 --> 01:30:56,219 um hey I know this person's story kind 2274 01:31:01,910 --> 01:30:59,280 of and I just kind of you know we pieced 2275 01:31:04,070 --> 01:31:01,920 it from there so bottom line is I 2276 01:31:07,729 --> 01:31:04,080 believe that there's a connection to 2277 01:31:08,750 --> 01:31:07,739 Consciousness and UFOs 2278 01:31:10,430 --> 01:31:08,760 um 2279 01:31:12,110 --> 01:31:10,440 obviously that's what we've been talking 2280 01:31:14,149 --> 01:31:12,120 about I also believe that there's a 2281 01:31:17,149 --> 01:31:14,159 connection between psychedelics and 2282 01:31:19,370 --> 01:31:17,159 whatever this weird other thing is 2283 01:31:22,370 --> 01:31:19,380 um and then the other nail in the coffin 2284 01:31:24,709 --> 01:31:22,380 was while I was making it uh true 2285 01:31:26,510 --> 01:31:24,719 hallucinations kept popping back up of 2286 01:31:28,550 --> 01:31:26,520 my feet and I had read that book 2287 01:31:31,250 --> 01:31:28,560 multiple times and if you know what true 2288 01:31:33,830 --> 01:31:31,260 hallucinations is it's Terence McKenna 2289 01:31:36,830 --> 01:31:33,840 and Dennis McKenna going all throughout 2290 01:31:39,610 --> 01:31:36,840 uh Colombia and then they end up you 2291 01:31:43,310 --> 01:31:39,620 know trying to find this um 2292 01:31:45,830 --> 01:31:43,320 it's basically like an orally active DMT 2293 01:31:49,430 --> 01:31:45,840 paste that these indigenous 2294 01:31:53,390 --> 01:31:49,440 um people in Colombia create 2295 01:31:58,070 --> 01:31:53,400 um and and the whole thing is basically 2296 01:32:01,189 --> 01:31:58,080 about UFOs and psychedelics and Altered 2297 01:32:03,890 --> 01:32:01,199 States Of Consciousness and trying to 2298 01:32:05,330 --> 01:32:03,900 um you know bring that out 2299 01:32:07,490 --> 01:32:05,340 um you know in some sort of way and 2300 01:32:09,350 --> 01:32:07,500 figure out what's going on uh if you've 2301 01:32:11,930 --> 01:32:09,360 ever heard Dennis McKenna talk about the 2302 01:32:14,450 --> 01:32:11,940 experiment at La charera that's the most 2303 01:32:16,250 --> 01:32:14,460 interesting aspect of it to me 2304 01:32:18,830 --> 01:32:16,260 um so I don't want to ruin it but yeah 2305 01:32:20,209 --> 01:32:18,840 the Lash rera thing and I've had my own 2306 01:32:22,910 --> 01:32:20,219 weird experiences it just kind of all 2307 01:32:24,709 --> 01:32:22,920 came together so I'm not saying that 2308 01:32:26,510 --> 01:32:24,719 psychedelics 2309 01:32:29,510 --> 01:32:26,520 um you know will put you in touch with 2310 01:32:31,850 --> 01:32:29,520 aliens or whatever but we're on Twitter 2311 01:32:35,290 --> 01:32:31,860 all day long talking about aliens you're 2312 01:32:38,090 --> 01:32:35,300 everybody's wondering about aliens and 2313 01:32:40,070 --> 01:32:38,100 here's this whole section of people that 2314 01:32:42,050 --> 01:32:40,080 do psychedelics regularly Psychonauts 2315 01:32:44,209 --> 01:32:42,060 and stuff that claim to be talking to 2316 01:32:46,010 --> 01:32:44,219 aliens regularly let's investigate this 2317 01:32:48,470 --> 01:32:46,020 so that's kind of what the documentary 2318 01:32:50,689 --> 01:32:48,480 is it's a combination of the UFO 2319 01:32:52,790 --> 01:32:50,699 experience with the DMT experience and 2320 01:32:54,649 --> 01:32:52,800 then some crossover is there Bridges 2321 01:32:57,590 --> 01:32:54,659 they're not a bridge one thing I will 2322 01:32:59,090 --> 01:32:57,600 point out that's very very fascinating 2323 01:33:02,689 --> 01:32:59,100 um 2324 01:33:04,910 --> 01:33:02,699 the people that I know that do a lot of 2325 01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:04,920 psychedelics have had UFO experiences 2326 01:33:09,590 --> 01:33:07,080 outside of psychedelics 2327 01:33:11,410 --> 01:33:09,600 and then there's also people that I know 2328 01:33:14,030 --> 01:33:11,420 that have never had a UFO experience 2329 01:33:17,930 --> 01:33:14,040 that have had UFO experiences within 2330 01:33:20,270 --> 01:33:17,940 psychedelics it's also interesting that 2331 01:33:22,189 --> 01:33:20,280 when people experience these things 2332 01:33:25,850 --> 01:33:22,199 they'll experience entities but they 2333 01:33:28,550 --> 01:33:25,860 won't experience the the typical saucer 2334 01:33:30,890 --> 01:33:28,560 UFO which I find fascinating too so 2335 01:33:33,169 --> 01:33:30,900 what's going on there why certain 2336 01:33:35,450 --> 01:33:33,179 aspects and certain Realms and not other 2337 01:33:37,850 --> 01:33:35,460 aspects in other Realms 2338 01:33:38,689 --> 01:33:37,860 um I don't know but that's just part of 2339 01:33:41,570 --> 01:33:38,699 the 2340 01:33:43,970 --> 01:33:41,580 mystery just started starting to unfold 2341 01:33:46,250 --> 01:33:43,980 um yeah and you know again it's 2342 01:33:48,770 --> 01:33:46,260 you know we this was a passion project 2343 01:33:51,590 --> 01:33:48,780 so a lot of the footage I had you know 2344 01:33:54,169 --> 01:33:51,600 sent in from everybody you know we did 2345 01:33:56,450 --> 01:33:54,179 go out to Chris

everybody else was kind enough to 2349 01:34:03,770 --> 01:34:01,560 just send in their footage because again 2350 01:34:06,470 --> 01:34:03,780 it was during the pandemic so but yeah 2351 01:34:09,410 --> 01:34:06,480 that's kind of the spiel about it 2352 01:34:12,590 --> 01:34:09,420 um and if anybody wants to see it it is 2353 01:34:13,750 --> 01:34:12,600 available on our patreon
