1 00:00:24,380 --> 00:00:21,970 [Music] 2 00:00:27,470 --> 00:00:24,390 hello everyone this is Martin Willis 3 00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:27,480 your host and I have an exciting guest 4 00:00:31,700 --> 00:00:29,039 we're going to be talking about what I 5 00:00:35,150 --> 00:00:31,710 think is a fascinating topic we have 6 00:00:37,090 --> 00:00:35,160 Edwin seam a PhD and he's 7 00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:37,100 internationally known for his work and 8 00:00:42,229 --> 00:00:39,510 parapsychology we're going to be talking 9 00:00:43,490 --> 00:00:42,239 about the Stargate project as some 10 00:00:47,630 --> 00:00:43,500 people call it or the Stargate program 11 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:47,640 and so much more and again I'm really 12 00:00:52,850 --> 00:00:50,489 excited I spoke to Edwin about a year 13 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:52,860 ago or a little bit more fascinating man 14 00:00:59,180 --> 00:00:54,570 and here he is all the way from 15 00:01:00,560 --> 00:00:59,190 California how are you well fine Martin 16 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:00,570 thanks for having me on the show and 17 00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:03,690 looking forward to it yes and I like 18 00:01:11,090 --> 00:01:07,110 that title you chose for this show which 19 00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:11,100 is basically psychic spies the Russians 20 00:01:20,570 --> 00:01:16,110 and research the inside story so yeah we 21 00:01:27,339 --> 00:01:20,580 want to hear the inside story well I was 22 00:01:30,859 --> 00:01:27,349 on the program from 1976 through 1995 23 00:01:32,540 --> 00:01:30,869 the program was funded by the US 24 00:01:34,460 --> 00:01:32,550 government as everybody knows under the 25 00:01:36,380 --> 00:01:34,470 name of Stargate which was only the last 26 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:36,390 name of a whole bunch of what are called 27 00:01:43,339 --> 00:01:39,690 code names or special access names but 28 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:43,349 nonetheless if you add up it was founded 29 00:01:48,169 --> 00:01:46,170 by Russell Targ and how put off people 30 00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:48,179 know those names fairly well now and 31 00:01:52,609 --> 00:01:50,729 they are to be congratulated for their 32 00:01:59,059 --> 00:01:52,619 bravery for starting this program in 33 00:02:01,400 --> 00:01:59,069 1972 I joined in 1976 my time of the 34 00:02:05,690 --> 00:02:01,410 program is longer than the sum of those 35 00:02:08,210 --> 00:02:05,700 two guys how left in 85 and Russell left 36 00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:08,220 in 82 so I've been there the longest so 37 00:02:14,869 --> 00:02:10,800 if you want an inside story as biased as 38 00:02:16,850 --> 00:02:14,879 it is it's me back and how did you how 39 00:02:18,770 --> 00:02:16,860 did you fall into I mean there wasn't a 40 00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:18,780 whole lot of people employed and 41 00:02:23,330 --> 00:02:20,910 actually working under this government 42 00:02:28,009 --> 00:02:23,340 contract how did that all happen how did 43 00:02:31,009 --> 00:02:28,019 it start I should say well it turns out 44 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:31,019 they give just a bit of history here I'm 45 00:02:34,309 --> 00:02:32,730 putting together with a colleague 46 00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:34,319 where we're calling the Stargate 47 00:02:40,509 --> 00:02:37,650 archives which are four very large books 48 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:40,519 one maybe 800 to a thousand pages each 49 00:02:44,180 --> 00:02:43,170 all the work that was carried on by the 50 00:02:46,430 --> 00:02:44,190 US government 51 00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:46,440 we have enough fourth volume which tells 52 00:02:50,990 --> 00:02:48,510 all the memos flying back and forth 53 00:02:53,630 --> 00:02:51,000 within the government as with regard to 54 00:02:56,210 --> 00:02:53,640 starting this program one member we have 55 00:02:58,330 --> 00:02:56,220 was signed by the Director of Central 56 00:03:02,180 --> 00:02:58,340 Intelligence a guy by the name of Colby 57 00:03:06,050 --> 00:03:02,190 starting the program in 1972 they were 58 00:03:07,729 --> 00:03:06,060 concerned that that perhaps the stories 59 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:07,739 coming out of the Soviet Union and China 60 00:03:12,619 --> 00:03:10,530 and elsewhere if those stories were true 61 00:03:16,940 --> 00:03:12,629 then there was somewhat of an obvious 62 00:03:19,220 --> 00:03:16,950 self-evident possible applications for 63 00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:19,230 intelligence gathering so that's why 64 00:03:22,789 --> 00:03:21,120 they were interested in it the other 65 00:03:26,089 --> 00:03:22,799 thing it's really interesting from my 66 00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:26,099 point of view as a sort of materialist 67 00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:29,310 physicist that the people who were 68 00:03:33,380 --> 00:03:31,650 starting this if the agency in the later 69 00:03:35,809 --> 00:03:33,390 on of other organizations from the 70 00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:35,819 government looked at it purely as a 71 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:38,609 signal based system from physics 72 00:03:43,970 --> 00:03:41,010 physiology and psychology there was 73 00:03:45,860 --> 00:03:43,980 nothing sort of new agey aspect about it 74 00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:45,870 at all many of my colleagues and 75 00:03:49,580 --> 00:03:47,880 sometimes myself think oh well maybe 76 00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:49,590 they're missing something in that regard 77 00:03:55,729 --> 00:03:53,040 hmm I came to it though it may in a very 78 00:03:58,190 --> 00:03:55,739 backward sort of way I was in finished 79 00:03:59,900 --> 00:03:58,200 graduate school I was a postdoc in 80 00:04:02,080 --> 00:03:59,910 nuclear physics at the University of 81 00:04:04,729 --> 00:04:02,090 California Davis from the cyclotron 82 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:04,739 cyclotron lab out there I've never even 83 00:04:10,580 --> 00:04:07,370 heard of ESP let alone being interested 84 00:04:14,509 --> 00:04:10,590 and I'm sitting around I see an advert 85 00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:14,519 for a weekend seminar run by Professor 86 00:04:19,610 --> 00:04:17,400 Charles Tarr charlie cart and he had a 87 00:04:21,409 --> 00:04:19,620 guy on there named Bob Monroe which is 88 00:04:23,330 --> 00:04:21,419 now known as the Monroe Institute in 89 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:23,340 Virginia and Bob Monroe had just 90 00:04:27,529 --> 00:04:25,410 published a book called journeys out of 91 00:04:28,909 --> 00:04:27,539 the body so I had nothing better to do 92 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:28,919 so I went to that thing and here's this 93 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:31,650 kind of business oriented looking guy in 94 00:04:36,110 --> 00:04:34,410 his 50s saying the most amazing 95 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:36,120 I thought completely stupid things that 96 00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:38,610 it possibly could imagine he was getting 97 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:40,110 out of his body and he was going and 98 00:04:43,790 --> 00:04:41,849 pinching somebody and they would have a 99 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:43,800 bruise on them you know out of his body 100 00:04:47,589 --> 00:04:45,050 pinching them all 101 00:04:49,809 --> 00:04:47,599 says it okay if this business guy can do 102 00:04:51,790 --> 00:04:49,819 that I'm an arrogant stupid physicist I 103 00:04:53,290 --> 00:04:51,800 bought the book and I started reading 104 00:04:55,540 --> 00:04:53,300 and I read the whole book and I said 105 00:04:56,890 --> 00:04:55,550 okay I want to give this up go I mean if 106 00:04:59,649 --> 00:04:56,900 this is real I should be able to do it 107 00:05:02,740 --> 00:04:59,659 and I tried desperately for maybe two 108 00:05:04,450 --> 00:05:02,750 nuts nothing happened so I stick the 109 00:05:09,939 --> 00:05:04,460 whole thing aside and rejected the whole 110 00:05:12,070 --> 00:05:09,949 thing but then I ran into a guy he was 111 00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:12,080 giving a talk at UC Berkeley his name 112 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:14,960 was Charles honorton and we became 113 00:05:19,059 --> 00:05:17,210 friends and colleagues Eve as a mentor 114 00:05:21,550 --> 00:05:19,069 of mine and he was speaking science I 115 00:05:23,350 --> 00:05:21,560 went to go hear him he was talking sign 116 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:23,360 so I invited Chuck out for dinner and I 117 00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:25,370 said hey Chuck started asking all these 118 00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:27,409 really tough questions and he had solid 119 00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:30,409 scientific answer huh and that got me 120 00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:32,240 interested in the field I said how could 121 00:05:36,610 --> 00:05:33,919 I not be interested in this I'm an 122 00:05:39,610 --> 00:05:36,620 experimental physicist for the PhD in 123 00:05:41,350 --> 00:05:39,620 nuclear physics how could I fail not to 124 00:05:44,860 --> 00:05:41,360 be interested in this yeah I'm still 125 00:05:48,159 --> 00:05:44,870 here Wow well interesting so but did you 126 00:05:49,809 --> 00:05:48,169 find this particular job with the 127 00:05:52,990 --> 00:05:49,819 government or did they find you how did 128 00:05:53,230 --> 00:05:53,000 all that how did all that happen ah very 129 00:05:57,059 --> 00:05:53,240 good 130 00:05:59,950 --> 00:05:57,069 there is now the late mr. Ingo Swan 131 00:06:03,219 --> 00:05:59,960 well-known psychic in the early days 132 00:06:05,499 --> 00:06:03,229 subject and I had spent a year in India 133 00:06:10,089 --> 00:06:05,509 chasing miracles I found none that's all 134 00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:10,099 separate story and I I came back and 135 00:06:15,159 --> 00:06:12,080 started to work at Maimonides Medical 136 00:06:18,070 --> 00:06:15,169 Center in Brooklyn New York and that is 137 00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:18,080 was a research facility looking at dream 138 00:06:22,749 --> 00:06:20,449 telepathy in fact there's a funny thing 139 00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:22,759 about that we'd answer the phone hello 140 00:06:27,369 --> 00:06:25,310 Division of parapsychology may we tell 141 00:06:30,309 --> 00:06:27,379 you they call it and there would be this 142 00:06:33,219 --> 00:06:30,319 cognitive dissonance ahead to the flow 143 00:06:34,990 --> 00:06:33,229 of what a sales going on here but I saw 144 00:06:37,390 --> 00:06:35,000 more psychic stuff in the basement of 145 00:06:39,999 --> 00:06:37,400 that building in Brooklyn that I ever 146 00:06:42,129 --> 00:06:40,009 did anything in India and I ran into 147 00:06:45,790 --> 00:06:42,139 Ingo Swann and we started working 148 00:06:48,490 --> 00:06:45,800 together and I'm a research physicist at 149 00:06:50,649 --> 00:06:48,500 that time and experimentalist knew what 150 00:06:51,999 --> 00:06:50,659 he was doing some work at SR I couldn't 151 00:06:55,510 --> 00:06:52,009 tell me much about it because was all 152 00:06:57,790 --> 00:06:55,520 classified he said gee how would you 153 00:06:58,510 --> 00:06:57,800 like to come and work I don't want my 154 00:07:00,969 --> 00:06:58,520 brilliant 155 00:07:02,619 --> 00:07:00,979 piqué psychokinesis work to go down the 156 00:07:05,379 --> 00:07:02,629 tubes because somebody flipped the light 157 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:05,389 switch and that that's what happened no 158 00:07:11,559 --> 00:07:08,090 k alright so basically Ingo Swan got me 159 00:07:15,010 --> 00:07:11,569 my job how about that now is that did 160 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:15,020 you get any criticism for looking into 161 00:07:18,219 --> 00:07:17,330 this type of work from your colleagues 162 00:07:21,219 --> 00:07:18,229 tons 163 00:07:23,830 --> 00:07:21,229 oh absolutely there's a bit of a story 164 00:07:25,719 --> 00:07:23,840 there one of my dear friends and 165 00:07:28,510 --> 00:07:25,729 colleagues we were business partners and 166 00:07:31,300 --> 00:07:28,520 physics colleagues the late professor 167 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:31,310 Melvin Schwartz and he was a high energy 168 00:07:36,820 --> 00:07:33,650 physicist at Stanford Linear Accelerator 169 00:07:38,980 --> 00:07:36,830 Center at SLAC and he thought what I was 170 00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:38,990 doing was total BS and every time we met 171 00:07:43,149 --> 00:07:40,849 to do anything together so should he 172 00:07:45,070 --> 00:07:43,159 would just brag on me like it what the 173 00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:45,080 hell are you doing waste your time so 174 00:07:52,450 --> 00:07:47,449 when I took over the directorship of the 175 00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:52,460 program in 1985 we put together actually 176 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:54,110 the army did put together what was 177 00:07:59,290 --> 00:07:56,330 called scientific Oversight Committee of 178 00:08:01,149 --> 00:07:59,300 the who's who of science in the country 179 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:01,159 and the interest requirement for that 180 00:08:09,159 --> 00:08:05,930 you had to be a self Perkis captain but 181 00:08:10,959 --> 00:08:09,169 open-minded so by then Mel Mel had won 182 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:10,969 the Nobel Prize in Physics will Leon 183 00:08:16,209 --> 00:08:14,090 Lederman for the discoverer of the muon 184 00:08:18,070 --> 00:08:16,219 neutrino so I went to Mel brought him 185 00:08:19,870 --> 00:08:18,080 down to my house for dinner and I said 186 00:08:22,420 --> 00:08:19,880 hey Mel how would you like to be on our 187 00:08:25,029 --> 00:08:22,430 scientific Oversight Committee and I 188 00:08:27,309 --> 00:08:25,039 said now you know he said well goodness 189 00:08:29,170 --> 00:08:27,319 sakes that is just I think it's total BS 190 00:08:30,969 --> 00:08:29,180 why do you want me on on your committee 191 00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:30,979 and I said there's two reasons one you 192 00:08:35,069 --> 00:08:32,570 have a Nobel Prize and that looks really 193 00:08:37,870 --> 00:08:35,079 good on the math end but the real reason 194 00:08:41,110 --> 00:08:37,880 the real reason is I trust you you're an 195 00:08:43,620 --> 00:08:41,120 honest scientist he said okay I'll do it 196 00:08:46,449 --> 00:08:43,630 with one condition listen what's that 197 00:08:48,130 --> 00:08:46,459 suppose after I am watching you for a 198 00:08:50,470 --> 00:08:48,140 year because it had to be a five-year 199 00:08:55,090 --> 00:08:50,480 commitment if after watching you for a 200 00:08:57,220 --> 00:08:55,100 year I discovered some bold ideas and I 201 00:08:59,019 --> 00:08:57,230 said well okay if you can convince the 202 00:08:59,740 --> 00:08:59,029 other members of this committee that 203 00:09:01,930 --> 00:08:59,750 it's all bs 204 00:09:03,699 --> 00:09:01,940 that I'll quit and I'll come to work for 205 00:09:05,829 --> 00:09:03,709 you at Brookhaven National Laboratory in 206 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:05,839 New York he's just done I said now we're 207 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:07,730 not even close to done so we're talking 208 00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:11,130 about I said what if watching us free 209 00:09:15,830 --> 00:09:13,680 and talking to other members of the 210 00:09:17,570 --> 00:09:15,840 community you come to the conclusion 211 00:09:19,790 --> 00:09:17,580 there's something worth looking at here 212 00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:19,800 that caught him off-guard and he said 213 00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:21,360 I'll tell you what I will spend some 214 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:23,040 fraction on my career helping you to 215 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:25,170 figure out how it worked you did that up 216 00:09:30,860 --> 00:09:26,970 to about a year before he passed away 217 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:30,870 well amazing isn't that great now how 218 00:09:40,730 --> 00:09:34,170 and why did the government get involved 219 00:09:45,170 --> 00:09:40,740 in this uh it's complex 220 00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:45,180 first off inglis one have done some work 221 00:09:50,270 --> 00:09:47,040 at the American Society for psychical 222 00:09:52,610 --> 00:09:50,280 research in in New York City very 223 00:09:58,340 --> 00:09:52,620 wonderful brownstone place on 73rd 224 00:10:01,370 --> 00:09:58,350 Street I think and it has obviously you 225 00:10:03,350 --> 00:10:01,380 know if it's true that's a big if then 226 00:10:06,290 --> 00:10:03,360 if you can sit in a room and just coop 227 00:10:08,330 --> 00:10:06,300 it's happening next floor and maybe next 228 00:10:09,950 --> 00:10:08,340 door in another country and be able to 229 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:09,960 describe it without any risk to yourself 230 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:13,290 and it's cheap why not give it a go and 231 00:10:19,100 --> 00:10:15,450 that was part of what started this 232 00:10:21,110 --> 00:10:19,110 bailout and when ego came to SR I and 233 00:10:23,390 --> 00:10:21,120 it's all written up and put off in tards 234 00:10:26,420 --> 00:10:23,400 book called mind reach when he first 235 00:10:27,770 --> 00:10:26,430 came there they were doing ESP kinds of 236 00:10:30,710 --> 00:10:27,780 things from this room to the next room 237 00:10:34,460 --> 00:10:30,720 and bingo had a reputation well deserved 238 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:34,470 by my dad as his throwing tantrums and 239 00:10:37,490 --> 00:10:35,730 he said damn it 240 00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:37,500 I could look anywhere in the world just 241 00:10:40,370 --> 00:10:39,120 give me the geographic coordinates many 242 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:40,380 place in the world I'll tell you what's 243 00:10:45,050 --> 00:10:43,290 there and he could Wow at that blew 244 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:45,060 apart the whole thing and then other 245 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:47,250 people came on that price and hella 246 00:10:53,510 --> 00:10:50,010 Hammond and other folks were able to do 247 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:53,520 this not perfectly by no means not 248 00:11:00,470 --> 00:10:56,970 perfectly but good enough now now what 249 00:11:02,030 --> 00:11:00,480 type of person does it take or have you 250 00:11:04,130 --> 00:11:02,040 looked into that what type of person 251 00:11:08,390 --> 00:11:04,140 does this take that can actually do this 252 00:11:10,430 --> 00:11:08,400 type of thing you know anything you can 253 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:10,440 think of the government paid and I thank 254 00:11:15,350 --> 00:11:13,410 you a Martin for your tax money put it 255 00:11:17,210 --> 00:11:15,360 Larsen where we think is large sums of 256 00:11:19,490 --> 00:11:17,220 money to examine every question you can 257 00:11:21,980 --> 00:11:19,500 think of including that one they wanted 258 00:11:23,319 --> 00:11:21,990 to know who is the cooler psychics and 259 00:11:25,989 --> 00:11:23,329 who or not 260 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:25,999 because they wanted to eventually find 261 00:11:34,989 --> 00:11:30,410 military people to be psychic spies 262 00:11:36,910 --> 00:11:34,999 I guess the sad news is with some hand 263 00:11:39,729 --> 00:11:36,920 waving descriptions we found with that 264 00:11:42,249 --> 00:11:39,739 job that most of the people that we deal 265 00:11:44,439 --> 00:11:42,259 with in one sense of any rate are 266 00:11:47,019 --> 00:11:44,449 boringly normal like the rest of us so 267 00:11:48,579 --> 00:11:47,029 what what differentiates the good guys 268 00:11:50,919 --> 00:11:48,589 from the bad guys and that's an 269 00:11:52,989 --> 00:11:50,929 interesting question and we just 270 00:11:55,769 --> 00:11:52,999 published a model about a year ago that 271 00:11:57,970 --> 00:11:55,779 addresses that question neurologically 272 00:11:59,789 --> 00:11:57,980 neurophysiological e of what's going on 273 00:12:01,720 --> 00:11:59,799 here in both synesthesia and 274 00:12:04,900 --> 00:12:01,730 interconnectedness in the brain and 275 00:12:08,049 --> 00:12:04,910 whole bunch of stuff like that if I were 276 00:12:10,449 --> 00:12:08,059 to say who I would pick students would 277 00:12:12,369 --> 00:12:10,459 be the worst case because they're more 278 00:12:14,079 --> 00:12:12,379 worried about everything else but even 279 00:12:16,569 --> 00:12:14,089 if you pay them to come to the lab oh my 280 00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:16,579 god together but if you find anybody 281 00:12:22,210 --> 00:12:19,910 that is happy with their station in life 282 00:12:24,850 --> 00:12:22,220 whether they're garbage collector or a 283 00:12:26,650 --> 00:12:24,860 Supreme Court justice no matter what 284 00:12:29,650 --> 00:12:26,660 they do if they're pleased with their 285 00:12:31,179 --> 00:12:29,660 job and they're good at it then that's a 286 00:12:34,869 --> 00:12:31,189 good thing there's a book on my shelf 287 00:12:37,539 --> 00:12:34,879 behind me called executive ESP by 288 00:12:39,809 --> 00:12:37,549 Douglas Dean and he wrote it in the 70s 289 00:12:42,189 --> 00:12:39,819 and in those days what they did 290 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:42,199 companies would have sort of off-site 291 00:12:48,369 --> 00:12:45,290 team buildings but seminars that would 292 00:12:50,169 --> 00:12:48,379 go for a weekend to try to find out who 293 00:12:52,139 --> 00:12:50,179 should be in the management chain or how 294 00:12:54,159 --> 00:12:52,149 you know to improve the behavior of 295 00:12:57,100 --> 00:12:54,169 upper management in these various 296 00:13:00,129 --> 00:12:57,110 companies and what Dean did was to get 297 00:13:03,309 --> 00:13:00,139 people to agree to allow him to put in a 298 00:13:05,019 --> 00:13:03,319 covert ESP test so among all the other 299 00:13:06,519 --> 00:13:05,029 tests that people were taking they 300 00:13:09,249 --> 00:13:06,529 didn't know this other middle section 301 00:13:12,069 --> 00:13:09,259 was an ESP test and at the end of the 302 00:13:14,049 --> 00:13:12,079 time they broke that blind and sure 303 00:13:15,729 --> 00:13:14,059 enough revealed it was the SP test and 304 00:13:17,470 --> 00:13:15,739 darkness team then sent out 305 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:17,480 questionnaires to find out whether these 306 00:13:22,689 --> 00:13:19,610 people believed in ESP or not what came 307 00:13:26,319 --> 00:13:22,699 out of that is very very interesting 308 00:13:28,419 --> 00:13:26,329 number one the scores on the ESP test by 309 00:13:32,129 --> 00:13:28,429 these executives correlated 310 00:13:34,749 --> 00:13:32,139 significantly with their salary up and 311 00:13:36,820 --> 00:13:34,759 let that sort of hand-waving sort of 312 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:36,830 means you get paid the big bucks for 313 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:39,530 making slightly wiser decisions with the 314 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:41,090 absence of data I mean that's what 315 00:13:45,610 --> 00:13:43,250 rejected jobs are you'd have to be 316 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:45,620 figure out what to go and can never get 317 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:48,170 all the data of me but did not 318 00:13:53,950 --> 00:13:49,970 coordinator at all in their belief in 319 00:13:56,650 --> 00:13:53,960 ESP so they were using sub lis ESP in 320 00:13:57,430 --> 00:13:56,660 some way without having happy to believe 321 00:13:59,560 --> 00:13:57,440 in it at all 322 00:14:02,530 --> 00:13:59,570 so if you have danced your question who 323 00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:02,540 would I find people I find it successful 324 00:14:07,060 --> 00:14:05,510 people bring them into testing and is 325 00:14:09,220 --> 00:14:07,070 that kind of like across the board that 326 00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:09,230 these people have no idea that they have 327 00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:14,690 this skill often it is this is a little 328 00:14:19,030 --> 00:14:17,360 unfair and I admit that up front when 329 00:14:23,170 --> 00:14:19,040 someone comes to me says test me I'm 330 00:14:24,970 --> 00:14:23,180 psychic and less interest it I mean 331 00:14:26,710 --> 00:14:24,980 you're good you drive down any of the 332 00:14:28,570 --> 00:14:26,720 streets of Palo Alto there's madam 333 00:14:30,460 --> 00:14:28,580 what's her face and what they have palm 334 00:14:32,350 --> 00:14:30,470 readers and what have you we learned a 335 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:32,360 long time to go leave those people uh 336 00:14:38,860 --> 00:14:34,850 yeah uh-huh 337 00:14:41,890 --> 00:14:38,870 so when when you were interviewing 338 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:41,900 people how did that work how did you 339 00:14:46,780 --> 00:14:44,090 find if the subjects that could do 340 00:14:49,350 --> 00:14:46,790 remote viewing and I want to also talk 341 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:49,360 more about what remote viewing actually 342 00:14:54,420 --> 00:14:53,330 is to detail but but how did you find 343 00:14:57,700 --> 00:14:54,430 these people that were 344 00:15:00,910 --> 00:14:57,710 better-than-average I guess that's how 345 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:00,920 you'd put it that that's a very good 346 00:15:03,940 --> 00:15:02,330 question because that again was 347 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:03,950 something that the government was very 348 00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:05,690 much interested in because they want to 349 00:15:13,900 --> 00:15:08,000 have their own cadre of super psychics 350 00:15:16,270 --> 00:15:13,910 trotting the short answer is we haven't 351 00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:16,280 o'clock that that's the real festival 352 00:15:21,310 --> 00:15:18,710 artists answer although we have some 353 00:15:24,340 --> 00:15:21,320 ideas now which was way past the 354 00:15:25,810 --> 00:15:24,350 Stargate program about how how a brain 355 00:15:28,030 --> 00:15:25,820 would be structured but that's a 356 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:28,040 testable thing coming up in the in the 357 00:15:32,410 --> 00:15:30,530 near future with my research but back 358 00:15:37,990 --> 00:15:32,420 then what we did 359 00:15:39,670 --> 00:15:38,000 I had a task to serve a fair number of 360 00:15:42,820 --> 00:15:39,680 people maybe three or four hundred 361 00:15:45,130 --> 00:15:42,830 people to find out which one's of those 362 00:15:48,550 --> 00:15:45,140 people were psychic and the bottom line 363 00:15:51,189 --> 00:15:48,560 is about a one in a hundred people 364 00:15:53,410 --> 00:15:51,199 can meet laboratory definitions of 365 00:15:55,989 --> 00:15:53,420 excellence performance and the only way 366 00:15:58,900 --> 00:15:55,999 to find them is to Finn's to have them 367 00:16:03,210 --> 00:15:58,910 do the job in correlations with 368 00:16:06,699 --> 00:16:03,220 creativity correlations with meditation 369 00:16:08,650 --> 00:16:06,709 correlations with interest any of the 370 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:08,660 correlations that are popular among the 371 00:16:12,850 --> 00:16:10,730 description papers in parapsychology 372 00:16:15,189 --> 00:16:12,860 none of those things turned out to be 373 00:16:17,350 --> 00:16:15,199 predictive of behavior in our 374 00:16:19,629 --> 00:16:17,360 circumstance it does work in other 375 00:16:21,759 --> 00:16:19,639 circumstances a trance felt like at 376 00:16:24,189 --> 00:16:21,769 Edinboro and so on for the remote 377 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:24,199 viewing like stuff but our particular 378 00:16:32,079 --> 00:16:27,410 task was different than all the other 379 00:16:35,139 --> 00:16:32,089 kind of ESP work for example we told our 380 00:16:38,049 --> 00:16:35,149 people we don't want you to tell us in 381 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:38,059 our interview what the target reminds 382 00:16:43,239 --> 00:16:40,970 you of you know like your mother's apple 383 00:16:45,009 --> 00:16:43,249 pie in the window cooling no no that's 384 00:16:46,660 --> 00:16:45,019 not what's happening in Russia I don't 385 00:16:49,030 --> 00:16:46,670 want to know what your mothers having ty 386 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:49,040 I want to know what is actually 387 00:16:53,499 --> 00:16:50,930 happening in Russia when you task you to 388 00:16:56,079 --> 00:16:53,509 go there and that is a different 389 00:16:58,929 --> 00:16:56,089 approach and if public plays a big role 390 00:17:01,480 --> 00:16:58,939 in trying to figure out who you bring in 391 00:17:05,049 --> 00:17:01,490 to do this this kind of dicey now the 392 00:17:09,069 --> 00:17:05,059 double-blind test that that's another I 393 00:17:12,279 --> 00:17:09,079 heard you mention that before so can you 394 00:17:15,429 --> 00:17:12,289 explain how that works how how you test 395 00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:15,439 someone with a double-blind test right 396 00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:17,329 let's suppose you're going to be the 397 00:17:24,699 --> 00:17:20,390 remote viewer to that boy and I'm going 398 00:17:27,669 --> 00:17:24,709 to be your inhaler and someone who 399 00:17:30,340 --> 00:17:27,679 neither of us knows is going to generate 400 00:17:32,830 --> 00:17:30,350 a target photograph or a target location 401 00:17:35,770 --> 00:17:32,840 for you to describe I won't know that 402 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:35,780 person I don't even know the set of 403 00:17:40,419 --> 00:17:38,450 possible places they will choose that 404 00:17:43,899 --> 00:17:40,429 person has never met you and that person 405 00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:43,909 uses a random procedure to pick say one 406 00:17:49,389 --> 00:17:46,130 out of 300 pictures all right I don't 407 00:17:52,149 --> 00:17:49,399 know what are there so I don't know what 408 00:17:54,010 --> 00:17:52,159 the target is that means I am blind all 409 00:17:55,659 --> 00:17:54,020 right and you certainly don't know 410 00:17:58,630 --> 00:17:55,669 that's why it's called a double blind 411 00:18:00,909 --> 00:17:58,640 and that's the only valid way you can 412 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:00,919 guarantee that something interesting is 413 00:18:05,290 --> 00:18:01,970 going on well 414 00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:05,300 and would you say that you have seen 415 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:07,130 things that have just like blown you 416 00:18:14,170 --> 00:18:09,650 away that you just can't imagine how how 417 00:18:16,750 --> 00:18:14,180 it happened yeah a lot of them I could 418 00:18:20,730 --> 00:18:16,760 talk for the text too without first with 419 00:18:23,470 --> 00:18:20,740 examples let me give you just a tunic 420 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:23,480 one is well known one of our best people 421 00:18:29,890 --> 00:18:26,330 is a fellow named Joseph mcmoneagle 422 00:18:32,110 --> 00:18:29,900 retired Warrant Officer from the Army 423 00:18:36,730 --> 00:18:32,120 the NSC the National Security Council 424 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:36,740 gave tasking to describe what is going 425 00:18:43,090 --> 00:18:39,170 on in this building in in town in 426 00:18:44,950 --> 00:18:43,100 northern Russia called sfera Dvinsk it's 427 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:44,960 been known since the 40s as a submarine 428 00:18:50,380 --> 00:18:48,050 base for sure and there was a big 429 00:18:53,710 --> 00:18:50,390 building and satellite photographs of 430 00:18:55,540 --> 00:18:53,720 that era could look in at the side and 431 00:18:57,460 --> 00:18:55,550 see something was going on inside the 432 00:18:59,170 --> 00:18:57,470 building but they really desperately 433 00:19:04,090 --> 00:18:59,180 wanted to know because they have no idea 434 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:04,100 and so Joe was given a week they were 435 00:19:08,170 --> 00:19:06,410 given a photograph satellite photographs 436 00:19:10,930 --> 00:19:08,180 of the roofs of the building that was 437 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:10,940 put in the double sealed envelope etc 438 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:13,490 etc and that was put in front of Joe in 439 00:19:16,570 --> 00:19:15,290 a double-blind way the first you were 440 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:16,580 stuck at there didn't even know where 441 00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:18,890 the testing came from this sounds really 442 00:19:25,060 --> 00:19:22,370 strange but it that's what happened and 443 00:19:27,250 --> 00:19:25,070 we say Joe the target of the day is a 444 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:27,260 photograph inside this envelope and the 445 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:28,850 person who said that had no idea what 446 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:32,210 the photograph was Joe gave maybe 30 447 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:35,770 pages some of it is immoral online 448 00:19:41,260 --> 00:19:38,930 described in glowing detail the 449 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:41,270 construction of a huge submarine that 450 00:19:46,450 --> 00:19:44,330 was double hauled and who you cattle 451 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:46,460 around like submarine with an outer skin 452 00:19:50,230 --> 00:19:49,490 and it dwarfed a World War 2 level 453 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:50,240 submarine 454 00:19:55,930 --> 00:19:52,810 how many missile tubes and it had a 455 00:20:00,150 --> 00:19:55,940 magneto a hydro magneto propulsion 456 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:00,160 system etc etc etc and that was done in 457 00:20:06,910 --> 00:20:04,970 1979 and September 23rd 1980 they 458 00:20:09,010 --> 00:20:06,920 launched from that facility what the 459 00:20:11,020 --> 00:20:09,020 West calls the typhoon-class submarine 460 00:20:14,170 --> 00:20:11,030 in Russia I think it's called the Akua 461 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:14,180 meaning the shark it is enormous in the 462 00:20:16,910 --> 00:20:15,450 fact they 463 00:20:20,990 --> 00:20:16,920 the movie the hunt for the Red October 464 00:20:24,410 --> 00:20:21,000 was loosely based on that sign known as 465 00:20:25,610 --> 00:20:24,420 he amazing yeah isn't that something and 466 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:25,620 what was it you said you're going to 467 00:20:32,270 --> 00:20:28,410 give a couple examples I'll give you the 468 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:32,280 second one which is more local through a 469 00:20:35,930 --> 00:20:34,410 long chain a colleague of mine was 470 00:20:42,230 --> 00:20:35,940 working in the West Wing of the White 471 00:20:44,450 --> 00:20:42,240 House under Clinton and she was a Maison 472 00:20:47,540 --> 00:20:44,460 to the center very interesting woman and 473 00:20:50,270 --> 00:20:47,550 I knew her personally through a friend 474 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:50,280 and she called me up one day while she 475 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:51,810 was working there says oh my God my 476 00:20:56,300 --> 00:20:53,730 twenty-something daughter has failed to 477 00:20:58,610 --> 00:20:56,310 show up at work can you help us find her 478 00:21:00,680 --> 00:20:58,620 and I said for crying out loud you have 479 00:21:02,930 --> 00:21:00,690 you know the Secret Service the FBI and 480 00:21:05,810 --> 00:21:02,940 all the alphabet soup wife calling the 481 00:21:07,820 --> 00:21:05,820 he she said I can't use government 482 00:21:13,910 --> 00:21:07,830 resources on a personal case that good 483 00:21:16,790 --> 00:21:13,920 so I said okay so I test two people one 484 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:16,800 of whom is taking mainly now dr. Nevin 485 00:21:21,020 --> 00:21:18,810 Lance he's worked with me for years 486 00:21:24,110 --> 00:21:21,030 he's not only a decent psychic but he's 487 00:21:26,420 --> 00:21:24,120 also was in charge of the personality 488 00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:26,430 factors he's a PhD psychologist all 489 00:21:33,380 --> 00:21:29,130 right he gave a glowing description of 490 00:21:36,650 --> 00:21:33,390 this person that was she was having a 491 00:21:39,650 --> 00:21:36,660 psychotic break but she was okay not in 492 00:21:42,410 --> 00:21:39,660 any physical danger and Joe and one 493 00:21:45,700 --> 00:21:42,420 other person gave enough material that 494 00:21:50,270 --> 00:21:45,710 the FBI can go get her and they did 495 00:21:52,340 --> 00:21:50,280 amazing I mean and I I thought wow the 496 00:21:54,620 --> 00:21:52,350 West Wing is really happy about us throw 497 00:21:59,120 --> 00:21:54,630 money which we didn't get anything 498 00:22:02,300 --> 00:21:59,130 really now yeah so was funding often an 499 00:22:06,500 --> 00:22:02,310 issue was a seller and what type of 500 00:22:09,980 --> 00:22:06,510 budget was it was it a yearly budget uh 501 00:22:11,660 --> 00:22:09,990 it was very spotty uh first of all let 502 00:22:17,390 --> 00:22:11,670 me say a lot of people think of this as 503 00:22:19,790 --> 00:22:17,400 a CIA program um CAA gave a hundred and 504 00:22:24,850 --> 00:22:19,800 ninety something thousand dollars on 505 00:22:29,250 --> 00:22:27,170 the two biggest funders were in the 506 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:29,260 Defense Intelligence Agency 507 00:22:33,150 --> 00:22:30,970 and I had a contract with the army 508 00:22:35,909 --> 00:22:33,160 medical research and development command 509 00:22:37,169 --> 00:22:35,919 initially for ten million dollars to 510 00:22:39,419 --> 00:22:37,179 conduct research 511 00:22:41,220 --> 00:22:39,429 I only saw six and a half million with 512 00:22:43,770 --> 00:22:41,230 that before they quit giving the money 513 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:43,780 about the early days there were places 514 00:22:47,669 --> 00:22:45,850 where our management was walking up down 515 00:22:49,020 --> 00:22:47,679 the hall measuring the drapes to get us 516 00:22:52,169 --> 00:22:49,030 out of here because we didn't have any 517 00:22:53,820 --> 00:22:52,179 friend well on the average when I when 518 00:22:59,789 --> 00:22:53,830 we were at s RI Stanford Research 519 00:23:02,820 --> 00:22:59,799 Institute from 1972 to 1989 it averaged 520 00:23:05,310 --> 00:23:02,830 about 750 thousand dollars a year that 521 00:23:07,530 --> 00:23:05,320 sounds great but let me tell you there 522 00:23:09,180 --> 00:23:07,540 was a huge variance sometimes there was 523 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:09,190 no money and they're ready to fire us 524 00:23:12,690 --> 00:23:11,290 all and then lots of money we can hire 525 00:23:14,940 --> 00:23:12,700 people and then he had to fire them just 526 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:14,950 and ran out of money and so on the 527 00:23:20,909 --> 00:23:18,850 steady money came and I was lucky when I 528 00:23:23,450 --> 00:23:20,919 took over the program building on very 529 00:23:25,860 --> 00:23:23,460 tall shoulders a foot off and tart 530 00:23:27,510 --> 00:23:25,870 establishing very good relationships 531 00:23:30,299 --> 00:23:27,520 with funding Chambliss and I spent 532 00:23:32,100 --> 00:23:30,309 probably 40% of my time racing back and 533 00:23:33,539 --> 00:23:32,110 forth to Washington making sure money 534 00:23:36,090 --> 00:23:33,549 and it was successful 535 00:23:39,539 --> 00:23:36,100 Manning directly from the Congress Wow 536 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:39,549 well in the chat room niihka wants to 537 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:43,210 know what what can you say about the KC 538 00:23:50,430 --> 00:23:48,610 denial KC denial I know about Edgar 539 00:23:51,810 --> 00:23:50,440 Cayce a little okay I don't 540 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:51,820 sorry I thought that was something 541 00:23:56,549 --> 00:23:54,610 something you may I didn't really 542 00:23:58,169 --> 00:23:56,559 understand that's who I thought it was 543 00:23:59,640 --> 00:23:58,179 talking about but I didn't really get 544 00:24:06,090 --> 00:23:59,650 the question either I thought you might 545 00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:06,100 though so what is let's say ESP what is 546 00:24:13,409 --> 00:24:11,049 what would you consider ESP and is well 547 00:24:21,980 --> 00:24:13,419 I'm going to bluntly asked who is ESP 548 00:24:27,270 --> 00:24:21,990 real oh okay I'll take the back 549 00:24:29,070 --> 00:24:27,280 if it turns out probably exit it was I 550 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:29,080 don't think Jamie Jamie 551 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:34,090 John Joseph Banks Brian who basically 552 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:35,530 was the father of research 553 00:24:40,860 --> 00:24:38,890 parapsychology in the country at first 554 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:40,870 at Duke University and then at the 555 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:42,930 foundation for the research of nature 556 00:24:51,410 --> 00:24:48,210 man he defined X extrasensory perception 557 00:24:54,830 --> 00:24:51,420 with the term extra meaning it's ways of 558 00:24:57,380 --> 00:24:54,840 gathering information about the world in 559 00:24:59,630 --> 00:24:57,390 ways that are not involved in the five 560 00:25:01,460 --> 00:24:59,640 known sensory systems in other words you 561 00:25:04,210 --> 00:25:01,470 don't see it hear it smell it taste it 562 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:04,220 feel it any of that sort of stuff and 563 00:25:09,110 --> 00:25:06,570 that doesn't tell you anything about 564 00:25:10,550 --> 00:25:09,120 what ESP actually is it tells you about 565 00:25:13,430 --> 00:25:10,560 a whole lot of stuff but what it isn't 566 00:25:15,140 --> 00:25:13,440 and so when you design an experiment you 567 00:25:18,290 --> 00:25:15,150 have to make sure that there isn't any 568 00:25:20,660 --> 00:25:18,300 you know sneaky things with radar with 569 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:20,670 radios transmitters or receivers in 570 00:25:24,710 --> 00:25:22,770 people's ear so there isn't cheating you 571 00:25:26,750 --> 00:25:24,720 have to make sure that there's no other 572 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:26,760 way to get the information other than 573 00:25:33,350 --> 00:25:30,690 that by some unknown way doesn't tell 574 00:25:35,270 --> 00:25:33,360 you anything so let me make a very geeky 575 00:25:38,660 --> 00:25:35,280 statement for you since you asked if I 576 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:38,670 believe even less treatment here comes 577 00:25:43,250 --> 00:25:40,050 the geeky statement there's 578 00:25:46,340 --> 00:25:43,260 incontrovertible evidence for an 579 00:25:48,890 --> 00:25:46,350 information transfer anomaly we 580 00:25:51,170 --> 00:25:48,900 currently do not understand doesn't see 581 00:25:53,780 --> 00:25:51,180 anything at all about ESP but I'll go to 582 00:25:56,420 --> 00:25:53,790 the map to defend that and so will 583 00:25:58,580 --> 00:25:56,430 professor Jessica Utz what the nation's 584 00:26:01,030 --> 00:25:58,590 leading statistician but she was just 585 00:26:07,490 --> 00:26:01,040 stepped down as the president of the 586 00:26:09,170 --> 00:26:07,500 American Association and she worked in 587 00:26:12,260 --> 00:26:09,180 my lab for a year as a visiting 588 00:26:14,780 --> 00:26:12,270 scientist she says look ESP meets of the 589 00:26:16,610 --> 00:26:14,790 research at ESP needs all the standard 590 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:16,620 definitions of what constitutes a 591 00:26:23,470 --> 00:26:19,170 genuine phenomenon it is in my view a 592 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:23,480 genuine comment and how is it viewed by 593 00:26:30,670 --> 00:26:26,610 how did you find this is viewed by the 594 00:26:33,530 --> 00:26:30,680 media the American media list to say 595 00:26:36,590 --> 00:26:33,540 that's a very interesting question I'm 596 00:26:41,060 --> 00:26:36,600 on it it's a little disappointing most 597 00:26:43,430 --> 00:26:41,070 the time American culture on one hand 598 00:26:45,290 --> 00:26:43,440 loves this stuff you know you all the 599 00:26:46,670 --> 00:26:45,300 movies and the books and you know the 600 00:26:49,090 --> 00:26:46,680 calls in the newspaper for your 601 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:49,100 horoscopes and all of that kind of stuff 602 00:26:54,230 --> 00:26:52,530 in some sense the American culture is 603 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:54,240 almost too much believing in this 604 00:26:59,660 --> 00:26:56,730 material it happens too fast 605 00:27:03,320 --> 00:26:59,670 on the other hand the scientists kind of 606 00:27:05,450 --> 00:27:03,330 rejected out of hand for a variety of 607 00:27:09,530 --> 00:27:05,460 reasons and one of the reasons I think 608 00:27:13,310 --> 00:27:09,540 is that culturally the judeo-christian 609 00:27:15,140 --> 00:27:13,320 or Abrahamic religions it actually says 610 00:27:18,740 --> 00:27:15,150 that this is the work of the devil 611 00:27:20,630 --> 00:27:18,750 Illuminati and you know powerful people 612 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:20,640 with the rich witch trials where they 613 00:27:24,860 --> 00:27:22,650 burn people at the stake for having 614 00:27:29,450 --> 00:27:24,870 manifested this and other powerful 615 00:27:29,930 --> 00:27:29,460 things that women can do and that's too 616 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:29,940 bad 617 00:27:34,460 --> 00:27:32,010 and as a result for example I won't name 618 00:27:37,010 --> 00:27:34,470 the organization we did go make monocle 619 00:27:39,950 --> 00:27:37,020 I did a whole series on live television 620 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:39,960 for nationwide television organization 621 00:27:44,420 --> 00:27:42,450 and they were thrilled they were 622 00:27:46,550 --> 00:27:44,430 absolutely thrilled and then editing 623 00:27:48,650 --> 00:27:46,560 made us look like idiots I've heard of 624 00:27:51,830 --> 00:27:48,660 that why would they believe this it's 625 00:27:53,570 --> 00:27:51,840 just terrible and for the most part I 626 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:53,580 don't do American media you're an 627 00:28:00,800 --> 00:27:57,330 exception at all for media on the other 628 00:28:03,650 --> 00:28:00,810 hand Treatise love lip balm and in 629 00:28:05,750 --> 00:28:03,660 Russia much to my surprise there 630 00:28:08,390 --> 00:28:05,760 people are upper level people all 631 00:28:10,610 --> 00:28:08,400 falling all over themselves let me give 632 00:28:13,070 --> 00:28:10,620 one example here I can mention his name 633 00:28:16,460 --> 00:28:13,080 has given me permission and his name is 634 00:28:19,820 --> 00:28:16,470 dr. Jack Verona 635 00:28:22,010 --> 00:28:19,830 he's a career intelligence officer he 636 00:28:25,180 --> 00:28:22,020 has a PhD in physics very smart fellow 637 00:28:27,950 --> 00:28:25,190 and almost single-handedly responsible 638 00:28:30,650 --> 00:28:27,960 for the continuation of the government 639 00:28:33,230 --> 00:28:30,660 funding very smart fellow he's given me 640 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:33,240 permission a to use his name be write 641 00:28:39,410 --> 00:28:35,690 anything I want about him he absolutely 642 00:28:42,980 --> 00:28:39,420 refuses flatly refuses to write anything 643 00:28:45,470 --> 00:28:42,990 himself about this part of that I think 644 00:28:47,450 --> 00:28:45,480 it's because even though he's 8 he's in 645 00:28:48,980 --> 00:28:47,460 his early eighties and retired he 646 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:48,990 doesn't want to be dragged to the media 647 00:28:54,470 --> 00:28:51,450 give you one example on one exception 648 00:28:57,740 --> 00:28:54,480 back from a colleague and I are working 649 00:28:59,510 --> 00:28:57,750 at publishing all of the research that 650 00:29:04,760 --> 00:28:59,520 was carried out by funded by the 651 00:29:07,580 --> 00:29:04,770 government from 1972 to 1985 and here is 652 00:29:08,790 --> 00:29:07,590 a cover of the first such book you can 653 00:29:11,310 --> 00:29:08,800 go on Amazon 654 00:29:14,070 --> 00:29:11,320 look for the Stargate archives and this 655 00:29:15,780 --> 00:29:14,080 will appear and I doubt your people can 656 00:29:18,150 --> 00:29:15,790 read it but what it says at the bottom 657 00:29:21,990 --> 00:29:18,160 this is Laurie one everything you want 658 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:22,000 to know about remote viewing from 1972 659 00:29:28,890 --> 00:29:26,170 to 1984 anything how to find people how 660 00:29:30,930 --> 00:29:28,900 to do the analysis what the criteria are 661 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:30,940 what the correlations within to the your 662 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:33,490 but at the bottom here it says foreword 663 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:35,730 by William s Cohen 664 00:29:43,410 --> 00:29:42,010 William s Cohen was a minority leader of 665 00:29:46,050 --> 00:29:43,420 the Senate Intelligence Committee 666 00:29:48,570 --> 00:29:46,060 Republican minority leader and later 667 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:48,580 became Secretary of Defense under under 668 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:51,370 Bill Clinton he wrote a fortress wow 669 00:29:56,850 --> 00:29:54,610 that's great yeah he was very brave to 670 00:30:01,350 --> 00:29:56,860 come yes absolutely 671 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:01,360 now what about the eastern culture you 672 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:02,530 know you're talking about the Western 673 00:30:08,610 --> 00:30:05,170 culture mostly but how do they view this 674 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:08,620 or did they even get involved in trying 675 00:30:16,470 --> 00:30:12,370 to do this type of research oh very much 676 00:30:19,310 --> 00:30:16,480 so I'm not close buddies with a KGB ex 677 00:30:22,290 --> 00:30:19,320 KGB guys one of the books that we wrote 678 00:30:26,610 --> 00:30:22,300 the deputy director of KGB both the 679 00:30:29,250 --> 00:30:26,620 former verbal divorce it's a little bit 680 00:30:33,330 --> 00:30:29,260 complicated because in the official 681 00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:33,340 communist idea is this can't happen but 682 00:30:38,100 --> 00:30:35,710 nobody paid attention to that the KGB 683 00:30:42,710 --> 00:30:38,110 was using this stuff back in the early 684 00:30:46,580 --> 00:30:42,720 70s a very famous now no longer with us 685 00:30:49,380 --> 00:30:46,590 imple at mosaic Cogan an information 686 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:49,390 scientist wrote an article in the 60s 687 00:30:56,250 --> 00:30:51,850 that was republished in the 7th early 688 00:30:58,590 --> 00:30:56,260 70s called is telepathy possible and he 689 00:31:01,440 --> 00:30:58,600 argued that the way that works is our 690 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:01,450 brain is like a an oscillator for a 691 00:31:06,750 --> 00:31:04,090 radio and our body is like a 2 meter 692 00:31:08,690 --> 00:31:06,760 antenna radiating our thoughts out in 693 00:31:11,970 --> 00:31:08,700 very low frequency electromagnetic 694 00:31:15,420 --> 00:31:11,980 radiation and that terrified the West in 695 00:31:17,490 --> 00:31:15,430 fact we have money to test that idea so 696 00:31:19,710 --> 00:31:17,500 we did remote viewing in a submerged 697 00:31:22,950 --> 00:31:19,720 submersible at the 80 meters down the 698 00:31:26,310 --> 00:31:22,960 mountain killed a teenager is that right 699 00:31:29,039 --> 00:31:26,320 yes we had this blanket see what around 700 00:31:33,060 --> 00:31:29,049 us and show that that didn't stop the 701 00:31:36,119 --> 00:31:33,070 frilly some years later I met Koga in in 702 00:31:38,129 --> 00:31:36,129 Moscow and I said professors in order to 703 00:31:40,259 --> 00:31:38,139 meet you and I'm shaking his hand I said 704 00:31:42,989 --> 00:31:40,269 I've got good news of bad she said what 705 00:31:44,940 --> 00:31:42,999 is it I said the bad news is your idea 706 00:31:46,950 --> 00:31:44,950 of telepathy being an oscillator in the 707 00:31:47,970 --> 00:31:46,960 body so it's just not right so I'm glad 708 00:31:50,879 --> 00:31:47,980 to hear you say that 709 00:31:53,249 --> 00:31:50,889 I don't think so anymore either and then 710 00:31:56,789 --> 00:31:53,259 I told him about entropy or this idea 711 00:31:58,409 --> 00:31:56,799 very complicated issue and he brought it 712 00:32:00,869 --> 00:31:58,419 up and I said we've done research on 713 00:32:02,700 --> 00:32:00,879 that and you're absolutely spot-on we 714 00:32:05,549 --> 00:32:02,710 became close friends into every dive Wow 715 00:32:07,590 --> 00:32:05,559 is that something so now what about the 716 00:32:09,210 --> 00:32:07,600 use of drugs you know you hear that 717 00:32:10,769 --> 00:32:09,220 government you know experimented with 718 00:32:14,129 --> 00:32:10,779 LSD and all kinds of things like that 719 00:32:17,539 --> 00:32:14,139 was there any use of drugs with any of 720 00:32:20,999 --> 00:32:17,549 the people trying to do these things not 721 00:32:23,789 --> 00:32:21,009 in our program but before I joined it I 722 00:32:26,279 --> 00:32:23,799 work at Maimonides Medical Center back 723 00:32:30,869 --> 00:32:26,289 in the 70s raw bunch of hippies so there 724 00:32:33,180 --> 00:32:30,879 was a lot of experimentation effects and 725 00:32:34,830 --> 00:32:33,190 and what that happened it's this really 726 00:32:37,710 --> 00:32:34,840 important and it's the basis of our 727 00:32:39,989 --> 00:32:37,720 neurological model contrary to what I 728 00:32:41,970 --> 00:32:39,999 ask of people to tell you and mushroom 729 00:32:43,830 --> 00:32:41,980 people will tell you and LSD people will 730 00:32:47,039 --> 00:32:43,840 die and all that stuff all that 731 00:32:50,279 --> 00:32:47,049 chemistry goes on creating wondrous 732 00:32:53,009 --> 00:32:50,289 things in your head but that's in your 733 00:32:55,379 --> 00:32:53,019 head okay if it just raises the noise 734 00:32:57,479 --> 00:32:55,389 level in your head for really as peak 735 00:33:00,599 --> 00:32:57,489 coming in from the outside hitting him 736 00:33:02,340 --> 00:33:00,609 it's strong ESP functioning I know I'm 737 00:33:04,229 --> 00:33:02,350 going to have all other nasty emails my 738 00:33:06,060 --> 00:33:04,239 shamans all over the world on basis of 739 00:33:08,940 --> 00:33:06,070 that but that's what the data Wow 740 00:33:13,019 --> 00:33:08,950 and what about this conversation came up 741 00:33:15,779 --> 00:33:13,029 recently in I did a show with a guy that 742 00:33:17,519 --> 00:33:15,789 was that thinks that we've been visited 743 00:33:20,399 --> 00:33:17,529 by extra dimensional like 744 00:33:22,950 --> 00:33:20,409 interdimensional beings up and I try to 745 00:33:25,379 --> 00:33:22,960 be open-minded of I wasn't really sure 746 00:33:29,129 --> 00:33:25,389 what to think about that but so I asked 747 00:33:33,239 --> 00:33:29,139 him this question and I said well what 748 00:33:35,670 --> 00:33:33,249 would like today's technology compared 749 00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:35,680 to say 750 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:38,110 things have changed so much since 1985 751 00:33:42,870 --> 00:33:39,850 when this program ended I think that's 752 00:33:45,150 --> 00:33:42,880 when you said it was now we have so many 753 00:33:47,010 --> 00:33:45,160 things bombarded at us 754 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:47,020 radio waves of different types I think 755 00:33:52,380 --> 00:33:50,410 we have for many many years but do you 756 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:52,390 think that would you talked about 757 00:33:57,780 --> 00:33:55,810 submerse under the sea and that didn't 758 00:33:59,730 --> 00:33:57,790 change anything do you think that the 759 00:34:03,780 --> 00:33:59,740 radio waves would change anything at all 760 00:34:06,900 --> 00:34:03,790 that we're bombarded with I don't think 761 00:34:08,970 --> 00:34:06,910 so uh your people worried about you I 762 00:34:10,950 --> 00:34:08,980 live in California everybody's a little 763 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:10,960 bit nutso have you heard you know if you 764 00:34:15,240 --> 00:34:12,490 don't want to have a house underneath 765 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:15,250 the power lines in fact very well-known 766 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:19,090 I think now like the late frost 80 was 767 00:34:24,780 --> 00:34:21,970 pushing very hard on the dangers of 60 768 00:34:27,390 --> 00:34:24,790 cycle 60 Hertz radiation which is we're 769 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:27,400 all bathed in that all the time and 770 00:34:31,590 --> 00:34:30,010 they're you know the SEC the the physic 771 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:31,600 people Zelo or the radiation is so 772 00:34:36,630 --> 00:34:33,850 smaller can't hurt but if you look at 773 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:36,640 the pharmacology of such stuff of drugs 774 00:34:43,050 --> 00:34:40,690 and enm radiation the effects drop as 775 00:34:45,420 --> 00:34:43,060 the intensity drops but then again at 776 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:45,430 very low intensities and me was pushing 777 00:34:52,710 --> 00:34:49,650 really hard on the dangers of you know 778 00:34:54,410 --> 00:34:52,720 alternating current 60 Hertz I don't 779 00:34:57,240 --> 00:34:54,420 know the Russians are really big on this 780 00:35:00,330 --> 00:34:57,250 that's still open question whether it 781 00:35:02,390 --> 00:35:00,340 does in our model about precognition how 782 00:35:08,460 --> 00:35:02,400 that works and it's a very testable 783 00:35:11,580 --> 00:35:08,470 model in the brain we don't think e e NM 784 00:35:14,250 --> 00:35:11,590 electricity magnetism plays a role but 785 00:35:18,090 --> 00:35:14,260 the fact that people's sensory systems 786 00:35:21,570 --> 00:35:18,100 normal sensory systems like vision the 787 00:35:24,180 --> 00:35:21,580 the people that are that may prove to be 788 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:24,190 good psychics have an extended visual 789 00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:25,810 range let's say see a little bit more 790 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:27,430 need for it a little bit more in the 791 00:35:33,420 --> 00:35:29,530 ultraviolet than the average bear that's 792 00:35:35,430 --> 00:35:33,430 a testable hypothesis that we propose 793 00:35:37,950 --> 00:35:35,440 and shortly and then the next year we'll 794 00:35:40,650 --> 00:35:37,960 be testing it offshore down in Brazil 795 00:35:43,590 --> 00:35:40,660 actually with some scientists now that's 796 00:35:47,010 --> 00:35:43,600 interesting now getting back to the 797 00:35:49,530 --> 00:35:47,020 question that Nica asked in the chat 798 00:35:51,540 --> 00:35:49,540 room he was more definitive now 799 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:51,550 thought he meant edgar cayce as well the 800 00:35:57,230 --> 00:35:54,490 you know the supposed psychic but what 801 00:36:01,200 --> 00:35:57,240 he was asking about was the former CIA 802 00:36:04,410 --> 00:36:01,210 director William Casey hadn't okay so 803 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:04,420 William Casey up had denied wrote me 804 00:36:08,630 --> 00:36:07,090 viewing and up just he just wants to 805 00:36:11,310 --> 00:36:08,640 know your take on it 806 00:36:13,530 --> 00:36:11,320 well I have a memo signed by him 807 00:36:16,890 --> 00:36:13,540 starting to progress there right yeah 808 00:36:20,010 --> 00:36:16,900 yeah I mean I can show you it's really 809 00:36:22,260 --> 00:36:20,020 there's so it's going to be in its it's 810 00:36:23,610 --> 00:36:22,270 going to be in the archive books that'll 811 00:36:25,770 --> 00:36:23,620 be out by the appoint for at the end of 812 00:36:28,470 --> 00:36:25,780 the year his signature Oh now does that 813 00:36:32,670 --> 00:36:28,480 mean that he just wanted to downplay it 814 00:36:35,130 --> 00:36:32,680 do you think well he's signing off on 815 00:36:38,250 --> 00:36:35,140 what turned out to be a very very very 816 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:38,260 secret program and you don't want to 817 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:40,570 admit the jury for example when I got 818 00:36:46,170 --> 00:36:44,290 I've had clearances since I was under 819 00:36:48,450 --> 00:36:46,180 graduate school short for the RAND 820 00:36:51,990 --> 00:36:48,460 Corporation in Santa Monica and I had a 821 00:36:53,910 --> 00:36:52,000 top secret clearance then and except for 822 00:36:55,290 --> 00:36:53,920 a few times in graduate school it didn't 823 00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:55,300 have parent says but I want to start 824 00:37:01,350 --> 00:36:57,130 working that's right I had to get a 825 00:37:03,780 --> 00:37:01,360 clearance just to be on campus and you 826 00:37:06,330 --> 00:37:03,790 know the FBI runs around and asks all 827 00:37:09,540 --> 00:37:06,340 your people I get this panic phone call 828 00:37:11,010 --> 00:37:09,550 from Chuck Arlington what the FBI guy 829 00:37:12,450 --> 00:37:11,020 showed up at are interviewing me for 830 00:37:14,010 --> 00:37:12,460 clearance for you how come you're 831 00:37:17,340 --> 00:37:14,020 getting it clearance so I had to lie to 832 00:37:19,830 --> 00:37:17,350 him to say oh you can't be at us or I 833 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:19,840 unless you have a clearance because what 834 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:22,330 was classified was the fact that our 835 00:37:28,230 --> 00:37:25,090 program was classified which made it 836 00:37:30,570 --> 00:37:28,240 really opinion about yeah yeah speaking 837 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:30,580 of that you know classified program um 838 00:37:37,500 --> 00:37:33,490 did you have to stay hush-hush about 839 00:37:39,540 --> 00:37:37,510 this after the program ended or were you 840 00:37:44,460 --> 00:37:39,550 debriefed and told you know you could 841 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:44,470 say certain things about this uh yes and 842 00:37:50,130 --> 00:37:46,570 no I was debriefed on some of my 843 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:50,140 clearances but the CIA released 844 00:37:57,990 --> 00:37:53,610 knowledge that the program existed in 845 00:38:00,810 --> 00:37:58,000 1995 and you can look up a Nightline 846 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:00,820 with Ted Koppel and I think November 847 00:38:06,540 --> 00:38:02,650 1995 I was 848 00:38:08,910 --> 00:38:06,550 that show with the former director of 849 00:38:12,030 --> 00:38:08,920 CIA gates who became Secretary of 850 00:38:13,950 --> 00:38:12,040 Defense and a person that I suggested 851 00:38:17,220 --> 00:38:13,960 beyond the program only identified as 852 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:17,230 normal CIA a guy and me and three of us 853 00:38:21,930 --> 00:38:19,690 were on this program talking about it in 854 00:38:26,730 --> 00:38:21,940 the open in the open so everything's and 855 00:38:30,380 --> 00:38:26,740 in year 2000 and continues today the CIA 856 00:38:33,540 --> 00:38:30,390 released 89 thousand pages of our reps 857 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:33,550 amazing yeah and now some of it is still 858 00:38:37,710 --> 00:38:35,290 classified and probably still should be 859 00:38:38,940 --> 00:38:37,720 but almost all of it is that's that's 860 00:38:41,100 --> 00:38:38,950 why we're putting together these 861 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:41,110 archives which will be available to 862 00:38:46,130 --> 00:38:42,610 everybody now how many people were 863 00:38:50,550 --> 00:38:46,140 involved would you say as a total of 864 00:38:52,260 --> 00:38:50,560 involved in the the Stargate oh very 865 00:38:55,980 --> 00:38:52,270 interesting there are two aspects of 866 00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:55,990 Star Trek from 1972 to about late 1978 867 00:39:00,330 --> 00:38:58,330 it was all done at Stanford Research 868 00:39:04,710 --> 00:39:00,340 Institute called Essaouira International 869 00:39:09,030 --> 00:39:04,720 now all right probably less than 20 870 00:39:15,150 --> 00:39:09,040 during that area less than 20 ah but you 871 00:39:19,020 --> 00:39:15,160 you generated 80,000 papers we were a 872 00:39:21,030 --> 00:39:19,030 paper mill oh one of the things that we 873 00:39:22,770 --> 00:39:21,040 did for example when I took over the 874 00:39:24,570 --> 00:39:22,780 program and I had this ten million 875 00:39:27,420 --> 00:39:24,580 dollar contract two million dollars a 876 00:39:31,020 --> 00:39:27,430 year for five years I had a staff of 12 877 00:39:33,620 --> 00:39:31,030 people plus a whole lot of subcontracts 878 00:39:35,610 --> 00:39:33,630 in different places around the world and 879 00:39:38,790 --> 00:39:35,620 consultants and what had it was a big 880 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:38,800 program and my first contract I had 30 881 00:39:42,450 --> 00:39:40,930 you know I know what when you have a 882 00:39:44,100 --> 00:39:42,460 contract in federal government 883 00:39:45,750 --> 00:39:44,110 they give what's called a work statement 884 00:39:49,830 --> 00:39:45,760 they don't just give you money and say 885 00:39:52,230 --> 00:39:49,840 have fun we all want that instead they 886 00:39:53,700 --> 00:39:52,240 say okay here are a bunch of items we 887 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:53,710 want you to do and here's how much money 888 00:39:57,090 --> 00:39:55,690 you can spend on each of these items and 889 00:39:58,890 --> 00:39:57,100 if you run out of money and this one you 890 00:40:01,680 --> 00:39:58,900 can't take money from here to put over 891 00:40:05,310 --> 00:40:01,690 there it's very rigid as to what they 892 00:40:11,220 --> 00:40:05,320 ask us to do and so in my first year I 893 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:11,230 have 38 separate tasks to do and each 894 00:40:15,930 --> 00:40:13,330 one of those have quarterly reports and 895 00:40:16,349 --> 00:40:15,940 in annual reports and the scientific 896 00:40:18,420 --> 00:40:16,359 over 897 00:40:20,940 --> 00:40:18,430 that committee had to review it and that 898 00:40:22,620 --> 00:40:20,950 went in there I mean I spent my time 899 00:40:25,829 --> 00:40:22,630 writing and raising money for the most 900 00:40:28,799 --> 00:40:25,839 fun yeah I bet now is there anyone 901 00:40:31,339 --> 00:40:28,809 actually exploring this topic now 902 00:40:35,970 --> 00:40:31,349 anywhere in the world 903 00:40:39,269 --> 00:40:35,980 tons two books that we have online right 904 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:39,279 now let's make sure I get the title 905 00:40:43,380 --> 00:40:42,130 correct here it is it's the two ball I'm 906 00:40:45,390 --> 00:40:43,390 set called 907 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:45,400 extrasensory perception support 908 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:48,970 skepticism and science vol 2 of this to 909 00:40:53,609 --> 00:40:51,130 bottom said is all about theories of ESP 910 00:40:56,720 --> 00:40:53,619 it not works why one will answer that 911 00:40:59,069 --> 00:40:56,730 question gory detail we outlined all the 912 00:41:02,039 --> 00:40:59,079 almost all the research places around 913 00:41:04,710 --> 00:41:02,049 the world it used to be America was the 914 00:41:06,870 --> 00:41:04,720 center of research right now there are 915 00:41:09,089 --> 00:41:06,880 very few places doing this and work in 916 00:41:12,329 --> 00:41:09,099 this country institutionalize I think 917 00:41:16,249 --> 00:41:12,339 there's only two that I'm aware of three 918 00:41:19,079 --> 00:41:16,259 now University of West Georgia the 919 00:41:21,539 --> 00:41:19,089 Institute for noetic Sciences in Lorain 920 00:41:23,759 --> 00:41:21,549 County and us the laboratories for 921 00:41:25,999 --> 00:41:23,769 fundamental research that's all that's 922 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:26,009 happening in the u.s. institutionalized 923 00:41:33,269 --> 00:41:29,410 however in Europe my gosh the UK is a 924 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:33,279 hotbed of new research going on some 925 00:41:39,329 --> 00:41:35,170 research in Russia some research in 926 00:41:41,069 --> 00:41:39,339 Hungary some research and Portugal one 927 00:41:44,549 --> 00:41:41,079 of the main funders of this work 928 00:41:48,420 --> 00:41:44,559 worldwide is the foundation be all in 929 00:41:50,519 --> 00:41:48,430 fund out of porto portugal and they put 930 00:41:53,220 --> 00:41:50,529 in about half a million euros every two 931 00:41:55,079 --> 00:41:53,230 years which is nothing but hot 932 00:41:57,479 --> 00:41:55,089 competition for that little bit now what 933 00:42:00,509 --> 00:41:57,489 about the u.s. who are who are funding 934 00:42:05,430 --> 00:42:00,519 the institutions in the u.s. the three 935 00:42:08,130 --> 00:42:05,440 or the two right now nobody's funding me 936 00:42:11,430 --> 00:42:08,140 I wish they were but they're not that 937 00:42:14,579 --> 00:42:11,440 will change shortly I think these two 938 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:14,589 frenetic Sciences is a subscription 939 00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:17,170 organization people sign up and you know 940 00:42:22,289 --> 00:42:19,680 so a lot of their funding comes from 941 00:42:24,839 --> 00:42:22,299 subscribers who buy it you know get 942 00:42:26,700 --> 00:42:24,849 their newsletter and buy merchandise and 943 00:42:28,979 --> 00:42:26,710 attend conferences and all that it's a 944 00:42:30,060 --> 00:42:28,989 very interesting organization the 945 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:30,070 University of West Shore 946 00:42:35,490 --> 00:42:33,010 job has believe it or not institutional 947 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:35,500 support from University to conduct 948 00:42:38,100 --> 00:42:37,570 research in parapsychology which is 949 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:38,110 terrific 950 00:42:44,870 --> 00:42:42,130 Wow yep so is a is parapsychology a 951 00:42:47,460 --> 00:42:44,880 something you can actually now this is a 952 00:42:52,860 --> 00:42:47,470 layman's question is it something you 953 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:52,870 can get a degree in at the University of 954 00:42:57,390 --> 00:42:55,210 West Georgia you can I think the way 955 00:42:59,870 --> 00:42:57,400 they were to this it's a degree in 956 00:43:02,520 --> 00:42:59,880 psychology with emphasis of 957 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:02,530 parapsychology how you can get a degree 958 00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:04,090 in one of the big centers in Europe 959 00:43:09,300 --> 00:43:06,730 there was um I don't know if you know 960 00:43:13,710 --> 00:43:09,310 the name of Arthur Tressler he was a 961 00:43:16,260 --> 00:43:13,720 Hungarian writer and when he died he 962 00:43:18,150 --> 00:43:16,270 bequeathed a large sum of money to the 963 00:43:20,070 --> 00:43:18,160 University of Edinburgh in Scotland to 964 00:43:23,010 --> 00:43:20,080 the psychology department there which 965 00:43:25,020 --> 00:43:23,020 they were desperately ashamed of took 966 00:43:27,510 --> 00:43:25,030 upon parapsychology so they had a 967 00:43:31,020 --> 00:43:27,520 worldwide search for the first occupier 968 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:31,030 of that chair the professorship in an 969 00:43:35,580 --> 00:43:33,370 American one actually a long time good 970 00:43:38,220 --> 00:43:35,590 friend of mine he died suddenly too for 971 00:43:40,590 --> 00:43:38,230 many years ago Bob Morris was his name 972 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:40,600 and he became the director of that of 973 00:43:45,720 --> 00:43:43,450 the curler unit in the psychology 974 00:43:47,940 --> 00:43:45,730 department and by the time he passed 975 00:43:50,550 --> 00:43:47,950 away he had become it was such a 976 00:43:53,130 --> 00:43:50,560 rigorous good program that the 977 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:53,140 psychology department at Edinboro was 978 00:43:58,590 --> 00:43:55,450 dragging on their website that their the 979 00:44:01,410 --> 00:43:58,600 center of Europe for quality ESP 980 00:44:06,240 --> 00:44:01,420 research pain he was able to change that 981 00:44:08,130 --> 00:44:06,250 and so he had many PhDs that got PhDs in 982 00:44:10,980 --> 00:44:08,140 this discipline have fanned out across 983 00:44:13,470 --> 00:44:10,990 the whole UK and working at various 984 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:13,480 universities universe University of 985 00:44:18,210 --> 00:44:16,090 Northampton is one hartfordshire and 986 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:18,220 other places around that are doing 987 00:44:23,910 --> 00:44:20,890 pretty interesting work their job you 988 00:44:28,050 --> 00:44:23,920 hear a lot of times you'll have seen 989 00:44:32,210 --> 00:44:28,060 either documentaries or like a news 990 00:44:36,420 --> 00:44:32,220 flash where police have exhausted 991 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:36,430 everything that they could possibly do 992 00:44:40,710 --> 00:44:38,530 to find out say where a body is or 993 00:44:42,570 --> 00:44:40,720 something like that and then

Marcella 1006 00:45:19,740 --> 00:45:17,920 truths he wrote a book called the blue 1007 00:45:22,590 --> 00:45:19,750 shield I think it's called and they 1008 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:22,600 don't call me to that all about the 1009 00:45:27,810 --> 00:45:25,090 police departments using psychics either 1010 00:45:30,300 --> 00:45:27,820 they're murderers and Hellcat it's or 1011 00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:30,310 not actually we have a number of cases 1012 00:45:36,810 --> 00:45:35,050 in our in our collection of law 1013 00:45:40,710 --> 00:45:36,820 enforcement along those lines 1014 00:45:43,710 --> 00:45:40,720 one of which there was a murder a young 1015 00:45:47,100 --> 00:45:43,720 woman was murdered in Washington DC and 1016 00:45:49,530 --> 00:45:47,110 everybody was looking for her and the 1017 00:45:52,380 --> 00:45:49,540 woman's parents called up Joe mcmoneagle 1018 00:45:54,420 --> 00:45:52,390 in Virginia and said can you help us 1019 00:45:57,330 --> 00:45:54,430 find our daughter she's missing and 1020 00:45:59,510 --> 00:45:57,340 nobody can find her and he said if you 1021 00:46:03,060 --> 00:45:59,520 can get the police department from the 1022 00:46:06,900 --> 00:46:03,070 DC to call me I'll work the really well 1023 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:06,910 he he this is metaphorically doesn't 1024 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:08,410 work this way you stuck a pin on the map 1025 00:46:14,340 --> 00:46:12,130 in Rock Creek Park 75 teeth when were 1026 00:46:16,980 --> 00:46:14,350 they on the body Oh God 1027 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:16,990 that that is that is totally amazing and 1028 00:46:23,730 --> 00:46:21,130 you know I doing the show in another 1029 00:46:25,710 --> 00:46:23,740 show I do I just think there's just so 1030 00:46:29,820 --> 00:46:25,720 many things that can't really be 1031 00:46:33,270 --> 00:46:29,830 explained and that definitely definitely 1032 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:33,280 is one of them right there would you say 1033 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:38,410 that this is kind of a weird subject to 1034 00:46:43,170 --> 00:46:40,810 ask you could you think that 1035 00:46:46,530 --> 00:46:43,180 remote viewing could be done off planet 1036 00:46:48,900 --> 00:46:46,540 in other words like uh say on the moon 1037 00:46:51,930 --> 00:46:48,910 or another planet can someone act can it 1038 00:46:55,500 --> 00:46:51,940 travel distances or is it just located 1039 00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:55,510 here on the globe that's definitely not 1040 00:47:04,559 --> 00:46:57,650 an outrageously stupid question 1041 00:47:06,999 --> 00:47:04,569 oh you're good to know okay of course 1042 00:47:10,390 --> 00:47:07,009 yes in fact we've done some work with 1043 00:47:12,430 --> 00:47:10,400 that Ingo Swann did a quote remote 1044 00:47:15,460 --> 00:47:12,440 viewing fly by the plan of Jupiter 1045 00:47:18,190 --> 00:47:15,470 before any of NASA's spaceships god I 1046 00:47:20,259 --> 00:47:18,200 think I heard about this okay okay yes 1047 00:47:22,359 --> 00:47:20,269 and he he described that Jupiter had 1048 00:47:24,039 --> 00:47:22,369 rings it was not thought of and it had a 1049 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:24,049 magnetic field which should have not 1050 00:47:29,650 --> 00:47:26,210 never known turned out to be correct 1051 00:47:32,650 --> 00:47:29,660 Wow isn't that amazing night I did an 1052 00:47:35,049 --> 00:47:32,660 experiment I which my management because 1053 00:47:37,210 --> 00:47:35,059 Bulova watch company was offering a big 1054 00:47:40,150 --> 00:47:37,220 prize for the most clever experiment on 1055 00:47:42,370 --> 00:47:40,160 the nature of time so I said hey I would 1056 00:47:45,430 --> 00:47:42,380 like to do an experiment will you let me 1057 00:47:47,349 --> 00:47:45,440 apply for that grant and my management 1058 00:47:48,999 --> 00:47:47,359 said are you what the grant or do you 1059 00:47:50,829 --> 00:47:49,009 want to actually do the study and I said 1060 00:47:53,289 --> 00:47:50,839 I'd rather do the study she said okay 1061 00:47:55,720 --> 00:47:53,299 I'll fund it so what this was the 1062 00:47:59,109 --> 00:47:55,730 Jupiter which at the time was 40 light 1063 00:48:00,759 --> 00:47:59,119 minutes away has an inner moon called IO 1064 00:48:03,279 --> 00:48:00,769 and it goes around Jupiter 1065 00:48:06,130 --> 00:48:03,289 once every I forget what the time period 1066 00:48:07,749 --> 00:48:06,140 is very short and it does it suffers an 1067 00:48:11,229 --> 00:48:07,759 eclipse every time it gets behind 1068 00:48:13,690 --> 00:48:11,239 Jupiter every town in every orbit and so 1069 00:48:17,259 --> 00:48:13,700 it turns out that we know one can 1070 00:48:19,089 --> 00:48:17,269 compute to precision the eclipse time 1071 00:48:20,829 --> 00:48:19,099 and we call the eclipse time when the 1072 00:48:22,420 --> 00:48:20,839 moon is half lit in other words the 1073 00:48:25,599 --> 00:48:22,430 shadow of Jupiter is only covering half 1074 00:48:29,349 --> 00:48:25,609 the moon so what we wanted to know was 1075 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:29,359 can somebody describe when that when 1076 00:48:33,849 --> 00:48:31,130 that Eclipse time is occurring on the 1077 00:48:36,039 --> 00:48:33,859 planet on that moon and the question we 1078 00:48:38,979 --> 00:48:36,049 want to ask do they do it in earth base 1079 00:48:40,930 --> 00:48:38,989 time which is 40 minutes later or in 1080 00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:40,940 Jupiter's time is that they were sitting 1081 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:43,249 on your bed watching so we did this very 1082 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:44,930 careful experiment and I'll leave all 1083 00:48:48,789 --> 00:48:47,210 the technical details out but involved 1084 00:48:50,380 --> 00:48:48,799 doing remote viewing at 3:00 in the 1085 00:48:54,910 --> 00:48:50,390 morning over hot fudge sundaes and 1086 00:48:57,759 --> 00:48:54,920 pennies for the WWB counter great 8050 1087 00:49:00,849 --> 00:48:57,769 so and then we had a sugar college make 1088 00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:00,859 the measurements for us as to when that 1089 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:04,130 halftime came and over many trials our 1090 00:49:09,370 --> 00:49:06,170 viewer managed to get the correct answer 1091 00:49:10,870 --> 00:49:09,380 to plus or minus 10 songs god 10-second 1092 00:49:13,590 --> 00:49:10,880 now the question is 1093 00:49:16,540 --> 00:49:13,600 now here's the question did he do it in 1094 00:49:19,060 --> 00:49:16,550 earth-based time or Jupiter based I'm 1095 00:49:20,770 --> 00:49:19,070 gonna and I'm going to ask you I mean 1096 00:49:23,950 --> 00:49:20,780 I'm going to answer they did it in 1097 00:49:25,510 --> 00:49:23,960 Jupiter time bingo you got it right 1098 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:25,520 lucky lucky guess 1099 00:49:31,150 --> 00:49:28,010 I was a remote viewing it up now you 1100 00:49:34,270 --> 00:49:31,160 just said that you were having hot fudge 1101 00:49:36,460 --> 00:49:34,280 sundaes possibly so does that mean that 1102 00:49:38,290 --> 00:49:36,470 someone doesn't have to be like in a 1103 00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:38,300 sterile environment where there's no 1104 00:49:44,650 --> 00:49:42,650 noise and that's so much BS I mean we 1105 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:44,660 did you know I said we tested Cogan's 1106 00:49:50,380 --> 00:49:48,170 idea in a submersible one of the persons 1107 00:49:52,240 --> 00:49:50,390 with me as we're being towed out in this 1108 00:49:55,750 --> 00:49:52,250 submersible is the off of Catalina 1109 00:49:58,120 --> 00:49:55,760 Island was Green and seasick and I kept 1110 00:49:59,980 --> 00:49:58,130 saying well are you feeling okay sure 1111 00:50:02,860 --> 00:49:59,990 you ask me one more time I'm gonna barf 1112 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:02,870 all over you shut up so here's the 1113 00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:05,570 seasick woman doing marvelous remote 1114 00:50:12,700 --> 00:50:07,970 viewing oh there's another story you'll 1115 00:50:16,300 --> 00:50:12,710 appreciate one of the army units at a 1116 00:50:18,550 --> 00:50:16,310 droid army Arsenal in up in Maryland was 1117 00:50:20,470 --> 00:50:18,560 doing remote viewing and I was asked to 1118 00:50:22,750 --> 00:50:20,480 go back there and act as a judge on 1119 00:50:25,240 --> 00:50:22,760 their material so I'm sitting in this 1120 00:50:27,370 --> 00:50:25,250 trailer looking at material back there 1121 00:50:29,260 --> 00:50:27,380 and all of a sudden I hear the loudest 1122 00:50:32,020 --> 00:50:29,270 damn noise I've ever heard in my life I 1123 00:50:35,050 --> 00:50:32,030 live fifteen inches off my chair come 1124 00:50:37,390 --> 00:50:35,060 whoa holy cow what was that turned out 1125 00:50:40,090 --> 00:50:37,400 this trailer was like a hundred yards 1126 00:50:43,540 --> 00:50:40,100 from a 15 inch howitzer range they were 1127 00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:43,550 shooting off these type of gianna it's 1128 00:50:48,190 --> 00:50:45,050 still able to do remote viewing and 1129 00:50:52,240 --> 00:50:48,200 that's certain Wow well now how does it 1130 00:50:55,090 --> 00:50:52,250 actually I don't know if the word work 1131 00:50:58,030 --> 00:50:55,100 is the right word to use but does do 1132 00:51:01,840 --> 00:50:58,040 things just pop in someone's head now 1133 00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:01,850 how does that how does it happen well I 1134 00:51:06,130 --> 00:51:03,530 got a dress that in two ways one is 1135 00:51:07,420 --> 00:51:06,140 experiencial in other words talking with 1136 00:51:09,550 --> 00:51:07,430 people you know I've been working with 1137 00:51:11,650 --> 00:51:09,560 Joe my Chronicle for 30 years and Angela 1138 00:51:13,900 --> 00:51:11,660 for 30 years in eleven thirty years so I 1139 00:51:16,540 --> 00:51:13,910 know them very well with close friends 1140 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:16,550 and so okay so what's it like when you 1141 00:51:24,150 --> 00:51:22,130 do this and the answer rarely is like a 1142 00:51:27,750 --> 00:51:24,160 multimedia extravaganza going 1143 00:51:30,420 --> 00:51:27,760 between your ears sometimes it's like 1144 00:51:32,190 --> 00:51:30,430 that most the time I think it's almost 1145 00:51:36,030 --> 00:51:32,200 as if you're making it up 1146 00:51:37,590 --> 00:51:36,040 really and you just have to go ahead you 1147 00:51:40,830 --> 00:51:37,600 just have to go with it what Joe was 1148 00:51:43,710 --> 00:51:40,840 able to do and then go also was able to 1149 00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:43,720 at least statistically say well I made 1150 00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:45,490 this up but this is we made it to the 1151 00:51:50,490 --> 00:51:47,770 target and be able to make two columns 1152 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:50,500 of numbers and chortled ifferent that 1153 00:51:57,180 --> 00:51:54,130 way I find that amazes but that said we 1154 00:51:58,740 --> 00:51:57,190 have some now ideas neurologically which 1155 00:52:00,930 --> 00:51:58,750 we're going to be testing shortly in the 1156 00:52:02,190 --> 00:52:00,940 brain of how this might work and what is 1157 00:52:04,260 --> 00:52:02,200 involved do you know the term 1158 00:52:05,810 --> 00:52:04,270 synesthesia have you ever heard you say 1159 00:52:10,710 --> 00:52:05,820 that one more time 1160 00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:10,720 synesthesia with that okay what it is 1161 00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:12,370 it's been around for a long time known 1162 00:52:17,430 --> 00:52:14,290 for a long time it's people who have 1163 00:52:19,830 --> 00:52:17,440 sort of crosswire wiring oh yeah brains 1164 00:52:21,420 --> 00:52:19,840 yep in other words they see numbers and 1165 00:52:25,020 --> 00:52:21,430 yes I know what you're talking about yes 1166 00:52:25,740 --> 00:52:25,030 they smell they spell color yep yep 1167 00:52:28,650 --> 00:52:25,750 exactly 1168 00:52:32,790 --> 00:52:28,660 we think that synesthesia plays a role 1169 00:52:35,610 --> 00:52:32,800 in being a good subject and that's a 1170 00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:35,620 testable idea it will find out we wrote 1171 00:52:40,290 --> 00:52:37,930 this model published in Sage publication 1172 00:52:42,330 --> 00:52:40,300 and if the model of how is how 1173 00:52:43,950 --> 00:52:42,340 precognition works is completely wrong 1174 00:52:46,950 --> 00:52:43,960 there's one aspect of which is really 1175 00:52:48,270 --> 00:52:46,960 good let's suppose your your knees toast 1176 00:52:51,990 --> 00:52:48,280 where are you located I'm in the state 1177 00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:52,000 of Maine in the state of Maine okay I'm 1178 00:52:58,200 --> 00:52:53,890 in the state of confusion to Coachella 1179 00:53:00,080 --> 00:52:58,210 for ya so okay tomorrow morning when you 1180 00:53:01,890 --> 00:53:00,090 get up you're going to pick a random 1181 00:53:04,020 --> 00:53:01,900 photograph out of the National 1182 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:04,030 Geographic magazine all right that's 1183 00:53:09,090 --> 00:53:07,210 tomorrow I have a subject sitting here 1184 00:53:10,470 --> 00:53:09,100 who's going to tell you what that is 1185 00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:10,480 going to tell me what that picture 1186 00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:12,010 you're going to choose randomly tomorrow 1187 00:53:17,190 --> 00:53:14,890 will be so there's the problem how does 1188 00:53:20,460 --> 00:53:17,200 that information get from tomorrow there 1189 00:53:22,860 --> 00:53:20,470 then to here now that's a physics 1190 00:53:25,710 --> 00:53:22,870 question only you don't have doesn't it 1191 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:25,720 depend upon any aspect of me over the 1192 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:28,090 remote viewer is its how the world can 1193 00:53:32,070 --> 00:53:30,130 that information get from tomorrow there 1194 00:53:34,290 --> 00:53:32,080 then to here now that's a physics 1195 00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:34,300 question we call that the physics domain 1196 00:53:38,810 --> 00:53:35,850 and we and we 1197 00:53:41,270 --> 00:53:38,820 some hand-waving arguments for how that 1198 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:41,280 might work then once it's onboard the 1199 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:43,050 brain we call that the neuroscience 1200 00:53:46,430 --> 00:53:44,970 domain in other words what goes on in 1201 00:53:49,370 --> 00:53:46,440 the brain that allows people to 1202 00:53:52,010 --> 00:53:49,380 accurately describe and to have this 1203 00:53:53,810 --> 00:53:52,020 experience and there there are large 1204 00:53:55,790 --> 00:53:53,820 number of testable things in our model 1205 00:53:57,950 --> 00:53:55,800 we call that the neuroscience for me 1206 00:54:00,110 --> 00:53:57,960 what's what's I think a step forward if 1207 00:54:02,660 --> 00:54:00,120 the models wrong at least dividing it up 1208 00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:02,670 into two chunks neuroscientist don't 1209 00:54:05,750 --> 00:54:04,050 have to worry about how the information 1210 00:54:07,930 --> 00:54:05,760 got there they only have to worry about 1211 00:54:09,650 --> 00:54:07,940 what happened when it got there and the 1212 00:54:11,330 --> 00:54:09,660 physicists don't have to worry about 1213 00:54:12,890 --> 00:54:11,340 what happens when it gets on board the 1214 00:54:14,510 --> 00:54:12,900 brain they only have to worry about how 1215 00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:14,520 it got there in the first now which is 1216 00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:16,650 would you say that we still know very 1217 00:54:23,090 --> 00:54:21,330 little about the brain no we know a hell 1218 00:54:26,240 --> 00:54:23,100 of a lot about the French do we know a 1219 00:54:28,070 --> 00:54:26,250 lot do we know how the web chalmers 1220 00:54:30,740 --> 00:54:28,080 another called the heart problem 1221 00:54:33,140 --> 00:54:30,750 no there's an awful lot of stuff I can't 1222 00:54:34,790 --> 00:54:33,150 tell you exactly where the brain love 1223 00:54:37,070 --> 00:54:34,800 occurs there's probably no separate 1224 00:54:39,290 --> 00:54:37,080 region for but there's an awful lot of 1225 00:54:40,940 --> 00:54:39,300 stuff that is known for cognitive 1226 00:54:43,610 --> 00:54:40,950 neuroscience these days about the brain 1227 00:54:46,310 --> 00:54:43,620 do we know everything no not even close 1228 00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:46,320 but we know it yeah but uh you know I 1229 00:54:51,460 --> 00:54:48,090 hear people debating what consciousness 1230 00:54:54,140 --> 00:54:51,470 is and what the mind is and all that 1231 00:54:58,400 --> 00:54:54,150 compared to the brain if it's separate 1232 00:55:02,990 --> 00:54:58,410 or or parallel or all that does any of 1233 00:55:07,070 --> 00:55:03,000 that play into what your research was 1234 00:55:12,710 --> 00:55:07,080 yes there's a huge debate in our in our 1235 00:55:16,190 --> 00:55:12,720 research community it falls into the in 1236 00:55:18,860 --> 00:55:16,200 two words of dualism where you think the 1237 00:55:21,500 --> 00:55:18,870 brain is the mind whatever that is 1238 00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:21,510 consciousness it is not equal to the 1239 00:55:27,140 --> 00:55:24,570 brain and the other side of that is that 1240 00:55:29,810 --> 00:55:27,150 the what we define is consciousness all 1241 00:55:32,540 --> 00:55:29,820 that rich think so subjective thing that 1242 00:55:35,240 --> 00:55:32,550 goes on on the brain the richness of the 1243 00:55:37,700 --> 00:55:35,250 taste of hot fudge sundaes the richness 1244 00:55:39,350 --> 00:55:37,710 of the color red what it feels like to 1245 00:55:41,930 --> 00:55:39,360 be above all that good stuff that goes 1246 00:55:44,900 --> 00:55:41,940 up we all love as humans being 1247 00:55:48,410 --> 00:55:44,910 materialist which I am one say that that 1248 00:55:51,349 --> 00:55:48,420 is an emergent property of the brain 1249 00:55:54,230 --> 00:55:51,359 now the other side of that argues a few 1250 00:55:56,240 --> 00:55:54,240 is strongly against that my colleagues 1251 00:55:59,329 --> 00:55:56,250 that have been working on this problem 1252 00:56:01,730 --> 00:55:59,339 for a long time are happy to go down 1253 00:56:04,099 --> 00:56:01,740 this article physicalist idea how this 1254 00:56:06,470 --> 00:56:04,109 might work until it begins to fail then 1255 00:56:08,900 --> 00:56:06,480 I'm all doors are open as far as I'm 1256 00:56:11,180 --> 00:56:08,910 concerned I'm data-driven and all the 1257 00:56:13,009 --> 00:56:11,190 data that we have so far at least my 1258 00:56:15,559 --> 00:56:13,019 interpretation of it most of my thoughts 1259 00:56:18,140 --> 00:56:15,569 some of my colleagues agree is that you 1260 00:56:19,220 --> 00:56:18,150 don't need to hypothesize anything at 1261 00:56:20,509 --> 00:56:19,230 all about the nature of consciousness 1262 00:56:23,420 --> 00:56:20,519 here's the interesting thing 1263 00:56:24,980 --> 00:56:23,430 how does 89 thousand pages from the CIA 1264 00:56:28,430 --> 00:56:24,990 release from our project 1265 00:56:31,759 --> 00:56:28,440 the only time consciousness has even 1266 00:56:33,829 --> 00:56:31,769 mentioned as a word is in references to 1267 00:56:36,799 --> 00:56:33,839 some of the somebody else's book really 1268 00:56:43,569 --> 00:56:36,809 ah yeah that's something 1269 00:56:48,289 --> 00:56:43,579 now what about how let's see how 1270 00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:48,299 reliable would you say ESP and remote 1271 00:56:58,249 --> 00:56:52,410 viewing is let me here's a highly 1272 00:56:59,870 --> 00:56:58,259 technical term it's okay and the 1273 00:57:03,130 --> 00:56:59,880 California it's even worse than the 1274 00:57:06,289 --> 00:57:03,140 California telephone says had that said 1275 00:57:08,210 --> 00:57:06,299 however if you use it properly it can be 1276 00:57:10,249 --> 00:57:08,220 extremely helpful let me give you a 1277 00:57:12,079 --> 00:57:10,259 couple of examples one of the things 1278 00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:12,089 that when I became director of the 1279 00:57:16,190 --> 00:57:14,490 program I had to try to re-educate our 1280 00:57:18,289 --> 00:57:16,200 government clients in the following 1281 00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:18,299 sense people thought we had miracles oh 1282 00:57:23,289 --> 00:57:19,890 my god we can levitate a month to the 1283 00:57:25,549 --> 00:57:23,299 moon and we can reach into a creature 1284 00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:25,559 Brezhnev's office and describe what's 1285 00:57:29,690 --> 00:57:27,210 inside and you know it's going to be 1286 00:57:32,539 --> 00:57:29,700 God's gift to intelligence Kelly no 1287 00:57:35,089 --> 00:57:32,549 didn't work out that way but if you 1288 00:57:37,009 --> 00:57:35,099 invert the problem and say okay what can 1289 00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:37,019 we what can we demonstrate in the 1290 00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:39,210 laboratory okay you can do this the 1291 00:57:43,999 --> 00:57:41,250 other thing and is there an application 1292 00:57:47,210 --> 00:57:44,009 for that and the answer is very clearly 1293 00:57:49,339 --> 00:57:47,220 yes let me give you an example suppose 1294 00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:49,349 you have a lost nuclear weapon or a 1295 00:57:54,589 --> 00:57:52,890 kidnap victim and you and the people who 1296 00:57:56,809 --> 00:57:54,599 are lots of people looking for if they 1297 00:57:59,930 --> 00:57:56,819 have no idea where it is they have some 1298 00:58:02,299 --> 00:57:59,940 idea but you know in large areas what we 1299 00:58:04,249 --> 00:58:02,309 can do we can't often pin 1300 00:58:07,519 --> 00:58:04,259 point where that where that lost thing 1301 00:58:09,769 --> 00:58:07,529 actually is but we can reduce the time 1302 00:58:11,870 --> 00:58:09,779 it takes you to solve that problem to a 1303 00:58:15,799 --> 00:58:11,880 significant degree which might in fact 1304 00:58:18,709 --> 00:58:15,809 have in fact save lives and reduce the 1305 00:58:21,079 --> 00:58:18,719 amount of expenditure you need to 1306 00:58:23,630 --> 00:58:21,089 accomplish that and here's the way to go 1307 00:58:25,969 --> 00:58:23,640 about it let's say there's a kidnap 1308 00:58:28,789 --> 00:58:25,979 victim and you strongly suspect they're 1309 00:58:31,279 --> 00:58:28,799 in the UK somewhere or maybe in London 1310 00:58:33,829 --> 00:58:31,289 must make that out and so you divide up 1311 00:58:35,870 --> 00:58:33,839 London in say six or seven different 1312 00:58:38,929 --> 00:58:35,880 areas the authorities going to search in 1313 00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:38,939 those areas right and so we have like 1314 00:58:42,679 --> 00:58:40,890 six areas they're going to search for we 1315 00:58:44,660 --> 00:58:42,689 have a seventh one meaning none of the 1316 00:58:46,789 --> 00:58:44,670 above and we have some very clever 1317 00:58:49,519 --> 00:58:46,799 techniques with computers and it's being 1318 00:58:52,219 --> 00:58:49,529 written about in these volumes that will 1319 00:58:54,499 --> 00:58:52,229 allow you to say well if you're going to 1320 00:58:56,809 --> 00:58:54,509 search these areas in a random way why 1321 00:58:59,120 --> 00:58:56,819 not search our and we'll give you a list 1322 00:59:01,130 --> 00:58:59,130 you can search ours in our way and if 1323 00:59:02,900 --> 00:59:01,140 you do that it'll reduce the time it 1324 00:59:05,209 --> 00:59:02,910 takes you to find it by anywhere between 1325 00:59:08,239 --> 00:59:05,219 ten to twenty five percent and that has 1326 00:59:11,929 --> 00:59:08,249 is this something that has consistently 1327 00:59:15,439 --> 00:59:11,939 weren't done yes so I guess that would 1328 00:59:20,689 --> 00:59:15,449 be a good use a good reason to say it 1329 00:59:24,890 --> 00:59:20,699 works you know it works somewhat and Wow 1330 00:59:27,499 --> 00:59:24,900 and I remember listening to a show where 1331 00:59:30,559 --> 00:59:27,509 you talked about you and your colleagues 1332 00:59:32,479 --> 00:59:30,569 did a test when it came to I want to say 1333 00:59:35,029 --> 00:59:32,489 horse races or something like that 1334 00:59:36,289 --> 00:59:35,039 well oh yeah how to make any with it I 1335 00:59:39,169 --> 00:59:36,299 want to talk about that because that's 1336 00:59:44,479 --> 00:59:39,179 that's a I might want to get in on that 1337 00:59:48,739 --> 00:59:44,489 yeah well we didn't lengthy series on 1338 00:59:50,299 --> 00:59:48,749 sports bed you can do it for horse races 1339 00:59:53,390 --> 00:59:50,309 this is called associational 1340 00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:53,400 remote-viewing in other words if listen 1341 00:59:56,900 --> 00:59:55,170 just to illustrate the point that I'll 1342 01:00:00,109 --> 00:59:56,910 tear about the real case that supposes a 1343 01:00:01,939 --> 01:00:00,119 two horse horse race okay and I would 1344 01:00:03,859 --> 01:00:01,949 like to sit down the Newmark euro 1345 01:00:05,509 --> 01:00:03,869 psychic and say okay 1346 01:00:07,719 --> 01:00:05,519 tomorrow the race is happening which 1347 01:00:10,130 --> 01:00:07,729 horse horse a horse B is going to win 1348 01:00:13,219 --> 01:00:10,140 that's the straight forward and wrong 1349 01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:13,229 way to go about here I can know straight 1350 01:00:18,300 --> 01:00:16,090 White's the wrong way let's step back 1351 01:00:21,300 --> 01:00:18,310 a bit suppose I have a regular plane 1352 01:00:23,190 --> 01:00:21,310 deck of cards right and I pick one at 1353 01:00:25,230 --> 01:00:23,200 random and I stick it underneath my desk 1354 01:00:27,090 --> 01:00:25,240 here and I'll say okay all the way from 1355 01:00:29,580 --> 01:00:27,100 Maine I'm going to make this really easy 1356 01:00:33,090 --> 01:00:29,590 for you just tell me is it a black or 1357 01:00:35,220 --> 01:00:33,100 red card wrong because what happens is 1358 01:00:37,260 --> 01:00:35,230 you close your eyes and wafting before 1359 01:00:38,940 --> 01:00:37,270 your mental landscape does every black 1360 01:00:40,380 --> 01:00:38,950 and red playing card you've ever seen in 1361 01:00:42,420 --> 01:00:40,390 your whole life can you play bridge last 1362 01:00:44,910 --> 01:00:42,430 night so there's a cleaving ace of 1363 01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:44,920 spades and a red Jack of Diamonds and 1364 01:00:49,650 --> 01:00:47,410 what have you over there and that stuff 1365 01:00:52,410 --> 01:00:49,660 you've invented nothing at all that's 1366 01:00:53,940 --> 01:00:52,420 coming from the dark that that's called 1367 01:00:56,670 --> 01:00:53,950 a forced choice problem 1368 01:00:59,610 --> 01:00:56,680 so what we learned how to do is to solve 1369 01:01:03,930 --> 01:00:59,620 that problem is somebody unknown to me 1370 01:01:05,850 --> 01:01:03,940 would say okay if red if the red is the 1371 01:01:08,430 --> 01:01:05,860 color of the card will associate that 1372 01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:08,440 with a picture of a kangaroo and if it's 1373 01:01:13,740 --> 01:01:10,690 black will associate that with a picture 1374 01:01:15,660 --> 01:01:13,750 of a rocketship and now I ask you 1375 01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:15,670 okay learn tomorrow I'm going to show 1376 01:01:18,900 --> 01:01:17,290 you how we're going to space in the hot 1377 01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:18,910 hours from now let me show you a 1378 01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:20,770 photograph just remove you with that 1379 01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:23,290 photograph is now you don't have to 1380 01:01:29,100 --> 01:01:26,530 worry about what what is associated with 1381 01:01:31,530 --> 01:01:29,110 that photograph and so the picture I'm 1382 01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:31,540 going to show you later is determined by 1383 01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:33,250 the color of the car that's facing up 1384 01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:37,810 here now we do that for for the real 1385 01:01:46,970 --> 01:01:43,690 case for we did 30 trials with very 1386 01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:46,980 complicated series of stuff we have a 1387 01:01:51,390 --> 01:01:49,330 strategy betting team that was in 1388 01:01:53,820 --> 01:01:51,400 Birmingham Alabama and a bunch of your 1389 01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:53,830 remote viewers out here and so what we 1390 01:01:58,770 --> 01:01:56,770 did was and my friend in Alabama will 1391 01:02:00,810 --> 01:01:58,780 say well I've got targeting and target B 1392 01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:00,820 all squared away I had no idea what the 1393 01:02:05,910 --> 01:02:03,720 hell that was he had picked some sports 1394 01:02:08,910 --> 01:02:05,920 game I didn't know where this football 1395 01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:08,920 basketball horse-racing whatever where 1396 01:02:12,810 --> 01:02:10,570 there was a binary outcome team a or 1397 01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:12,820 team B would win and he just named the 1398 01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:15,250 outcome of let's say the Dodgers playing 1399 01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:18,850 some other baseball team and the outcome 1400 01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:21,490 if team a won he called that if the 1401 01:02:25,740 --> 01:02:24,010 Dodgers won he just defined at a star 1402 01:02:27,690 --> 01:02:25,750 today and if the other team I needed to 1403 01:02:28,970 --> 01:02:27,700 find out a star to be he said I've got 1404 01:02:31,460 --> 01:02:28,980 these two daughters 1405 01:02:33,890 --> 01:02:31,470 cat fair enough so I'd sit down with you 1406 01:02:35,180 --> 01:02:33,900 and that's it okay tomorrow and you're 1407 01:02:37,130 --> 01:02:35,190 going to see a photograph please 1408 01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:37,140 describe that photograph you describe it 1409 01:02:41,330 --> 01:02:39,210 because we put your data in the computer 1410 01:02:43,310 --> 01:02:41,340 the computer randomly picks two pictures 1411 01:02:46,490 --> 01:02:43,320 that are different from one another as 1412 01:02:47,870 --> 01:02:46,500 possible and arbitrarily Mable's one of 1413 01:02:50,540 --> 01:02:47,880 those pictures target a and the other 1414 01:02:52,790 --> 01:02:50,550 one who started B and if your 1415 01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:52,800 description matches one of those two a 1416 01:02:57,800 --> 01:02:55,770 really significant degree I send a note 1417 01:02:59,180 --> 01:02:57,810 back to my colleague in Alabama saying 1418 01:03:01,300 --> 01:02:59,190 well we think it's going to be target 1419 01:03:05,599 --> 01:03:01,310 anyone and it's a good high-quality 1420 01:03:08,410 --> 01:03:05,609 agreement bet on it okay out of 30 1421 01:03:11,300 --> 01:03:08,420 trials nine of them meant a pre the 1422 01:03:13,730 --> 01:03:11,310 predefined threshold of goodness if you 1423 01:03:17,330 --> 01:03:13,740 will and of those nine bets we make 1424 01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:17,340 money on eight of them really Wow 1425 01:03:23,420 --> 01:03:20,010 so now so what are you doing sitting 1426 01:03:26,180 --> 01:03:23,430 retire there right now ah here you go 1427 01:03:29,060 --> 01:03:26,190 boy later that you know why not win the 1428 01:03:29,750 --> 01:03:29,070 lottery well I am I'm very very you 1429 01:03:32,390 --> 01:03:29,760 think I don't 1430 01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:32,400 lol though I'm actually talking more but 1431 01:03:39,490 --> 01:03:37,880 the reason the real serious answer to 1432 01:03:44,210 --> 01:03:39,500 that question and it's a good question 1433 01:03:46,250 --> 01:03:44,220 is it's labor intensive psychic people 1434 01:03:48,020 --> 01:03:46,260 are not like switches you can turn them 1435 01:03:51,410 --> 01:03:48,030 on and off they get bored quickly and 1436 01:03:55,099 --> 01:03:51,420 hell if you get bored tying your shoes 1437 01:03:57,170 --> 01:03:55,109 you don't do a good job of it so it was 1438 01:03:59,780 --> 01:03:57,180 labor intensive it took like nine months 1439 01:04:01,580 --> 01:03:59,790 to do this kind of thing it just isn't 1440 01:04:06,020 --> 01:04:01,590 worth the effort - Wow and how many 1441 01:04:09,950 --> 01:04:06,030 people were involved we had through huh 1442 01:04:12,830 --> 01:04:09,960 so that long Wow but very interesting 1443 01:04:15,050 --> 01:04:12,840 just the fact that something could be 1444 01:04:18,020 --> 01:04:15,060 you know actually come out of it was 1445 01:04:20,359 --> 01:04:18,030 really really amazing yeah because 1446 01:04:23,390 --> 01:04:20,369 that's what we're Russell Russell Targ 1447 01:04:26,900 --> 01:04:23,400 the good news is he used the same idea 1448 01:04:29,390 --> 01:04:26,910 and he won $100,000 Betty and silver 1449 01:04:31,010 --> 01:04:29,400 futures by this technique unfortunately 1450 01:04:32,450 --> 01:04:31,020 lost hundred thousand dollars in later 1451 01:04:35,690 --> 01:04:32,460 on but the first part worked out very 1452 01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:35,700 well one of my other colleagues how foot 1453 01:04:41,990 --> 01:04:39,690 off put his kid through school by doing 1454 01:04:42,530 --> 01:04:42,000 this also this kind of technique you it 1455 01:04:45,710 --> 01:04:42,540 does what 1456 01:04:48,740 --> 01:04:45,720 how about that now I don't understand 1457 01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:48,750 this question came from Omar but maybe 1458 01:04:55,510 --> 01:04:50,970 you understand it where do you think 1459 01:04:58,460 --> 01:04:55,520 electric human conductivity comes from 1460 01:05:01,550 --> 01:04:58,470 electric human conductivity I have no 1461 01:05:04,490 --> 01:05:01,560 idea okay I didn't I didn't understand 1462 01:05:06,530 --> 01:05:04,500 that so maybe I'll ask out Omar if you 1463 01:05:10,340 --> 01:05:06,540 could rephrase that in a different type 1464 01:05:14,660 --> 01:05:10,350 of way also someone up there is how do 1465 01:05:23,180 --> 01:05:14,670 or can some would defend from remote 1466 01:05:24,980 --> 01:05:23,190 viewing boy yes and no obviously we had 1467 01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:24,990 a whole program called countermeasures 1468 01:05:28,820 --> 01:05:27,090 what can we do if we can remote view 1469 01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:28,830 them they can remove us how do we 1470 01:05:33,710 --> 01:05:30,770 protect ourselves all right 1471 01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:33,720 the answer is putting up shields and 1472 01:05:38,510 --> 01:05:35,610 doing all that stuff won't work but we 1473 01:05:41,690 --> 01:05:38,520 came up with an idea let's suppose you 1474 01:05:43,580 --> 01:05:41,700 had a candle and you didn't want some 1475 01:05:45,410 --> 01:05:43,590 bad guys to know there you have a candle 1476 01:05:48,460 --> 01:05:45,420 what you could do is put a huge 1477 01:05:51,230 --> 01:05:48,470 searchlight right next to handle uh-huh 1478 01:05:52,820 --> 01:05:51,240 so that if people are looking around for 1479 01:05:54,290 --> 01:05:52,830 a weak source of light you would never 1480 01:05:59,630 --> 01:05:54,300 see the candle you can see this big 1481 01:06:01,520 --> 01:05:59,640 searchlight so we have a way balls 1482 01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:01,530 entropy and some other things you have a 1483 01:06:08,090 --> 01:06:04,410 random target the random system which 1484 01:06:10,460 --> 01:06:08,100 would act as a decoy to hide what you're 1485 01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:10,470 actually trying to protect but as far as 1486 01:06:16,430 --> 01:06:12,810 the government never I mean that was 1487 01:06:17,990 --> 01:06:16,440 probably mostly like an experiment but 1488 01:06:19,790 --> 01:06:18,000 the government would never have would 1489 01:06:23,390 --> 01:06:19,800 really never worry about that I mean 1490 01:06:26,150 --> 01:06:23,400 were we worried that Russia what was you 1491 01:06:28,700 --> 01:06:26,160 really did okay what yeah one of the 1492 01:06:30,230 --> 01:06:28,710 things that we had an SSRI we had one of 1493 01:06:33,140 --> 01:06:30,240 these rooms which actually is in the 1494 01:06:35,270 --> 01:06:33,150 news late they called asked if a special 1495 01:06:38,270 --> 01:06:35,280 compartment and information facility we 1496 01:06:40,340 --> 01:06:38,280 have top-secret stuff and we'd go down 1497 01:06:42,470 --> 01:06:40,350 there from time to time but five 1498 01:06:44,660 --> 01:06:42,480 envelopes marked yeah one two three four 1499 01:06:46,580 --> 01:06:44,670 five with pictures inside them and we 1500 01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:46,590 tell the people in this super super 1501 01:06:51,260 --> 01:06:48,450 super super secret place and say look 1502 01:06:52,820 --> 01:06:51,270 when we walk out of here randomly pick 1503 01:06:54,830 --> 01:06:52,830 one of these pictures or one of these 1504 01:06:56,390 --> 01:06:54,840 sealed envelopes and put it in the 1505 01:06:58,489 --> 01:06:56,400 middle of the table 1506 01:07:01,489 --> 01:06:58,499 and will penetrate your walls with 1507 01:07:03,319 --> 01:07:01,499 remote viewing and they say oh you can't 1508 01:07:06,710 --> 01:07:03,329 do that and I said yeah watch us and we 1509 01:07:08,420 --> 01:07:06,720 did know what we didn't tell them walk 1510 01:07:15,259 --> 01:07:08,430 does it scared the hell out kept the 1511 01:07:17,989 --> 01:07:15,269 money coming around and but we didn't 1512 01:07:20,569 --> 01:07:17,999 tell them once we once the remotest 1513 01:07:22,249 --> 01:07:20,579 untied and it say can I have the picture 1514 01:07:24,289 --> 01:07:22,259 and they give me the the envelope and I 1515 01:07:27,019 --> 01:07:24,299 take it upstairs opening the envelope 1516 01:07:30,470 --> 01:07:27,029 and show the person the photograph for s 1517 01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:30,480 feedback if they were looking into their 1518 01:07:37,190 --> 01:07:34,410 future at the feedback they never 1519 01:07:39,789 --> 01:07:37,200 penetrated the room though uh-huh but 1520 01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:39,799 they were really scared about ah Wow 1521 01:07:46,249 --> 01:07:44,130 amazing and do you think are as far as 1522 01:07:50,029 --> 01:07:46,259 you know you said you have you've gone 1523 01:07:55,460 --> 01:07:50,039 to Russia Moscow like 20 times and did 1524 01:08:00,349 --> 01:07:55,470 they have a say a comparable really good 1525 01:08:02,930 --> 01:08:00,359 remote viewer as well I met one of them 1526 01:08:06,769 --> 01:08:02,940 Joe Nigel mcmoneagle I met one her name 1527 01:08:09,229 -->

01:08:16,700 --> 01:08:13,650 knowledge he's ever much as good as Joe 1531 01:08:18,769 --> 01:08:16,710 mcmoneagle I can't speak to the other at 1532 01:08:20,930 --> 01:08:18,779 one time the remote viewing group there 1533 01:08:26,149 --> 01:08:20,940 had a hundred and twenty remote viewers 1534 01:08:29,539 --> 01:08:26,159 Wow amazing yeah yeah now it seems to me 1535 01:08:31,999 --> 01:08:29,549 that if I was hired and had a contract 1536 01:08:33,470 --> 01:08:32,009 like this I would really now you 1537 01:08:36,289 --> 01:08:33,480 mentioned earlier that people can get 1538 01:08:38,300 --> 01:08:36,299 bored real easy but I think wow yeah 1539 01:08:41,539 --> 01:08:38,310 that would be such a fun job I mean did 1540 01:08:46,910 --> 01:08:41,549 did was there a turnaround or did people 1541 01:08:49,789 --> 01:08:46,920 just stay with it well much to the 1542 01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:49,799 consternation of our minders and we have 1543 01:08:56,349 --> 01:08:53,250 minders one fellow of the lake Jim 1544 01:08:58,070 --> 01:08:56,359 Salyer was a gs-15 very high-ranking 1545 01:09:01,249 --> 01:08:58,080 geneticists from Defense Intelligence 1546 01:09:01,669 --> 01:09:01,259 Agency he was with us on-site for eight 1547 01:09:04,789 --> 01:09:01,679 years 1548 01:09:08,390 --> 01:09:04,799 all right and his job is to make sure we 1549 01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:08,400 were doing our job Rob and he get really 1550 01:09:12,110 --> 01:09:09,810 angry because 1551 01:09:13,730 --> 01:09:12,120 you fly somebody a psychic remote you're 1552 01:09:15,950 --> 01:09:13,740 in from the East Coast and the guy would 1553 01:09:18,740 --> 01:09:15,960 walk in the door like Joanna said you 1554 01:09:20,630 --> 01:09:18,750 look like B us you

I said look you want to fill in all the 1558 01:09:31,010 --> 01:09:27,900 little boxes in your sheet or would you 1559 01:09:33,050 --> 01:09:31,020 rather have good data these I'd rather 1560 01:09:37,820 --> 01:09:33,060 have you yeah yeah that that totally 1561 01:09:40,300 --> 01:09:37,830 makes sense do you think there that this 1562 01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:40,310 will in any type of way 1563 01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:43,650 come back as far as our government is 1564 01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:45,810 concerned or do you think it's just it's 1565 01:09:51,559 --> 01:09:49,530 gone for good or do you think you know I 1566 01:09:54,079 --> 01:09:51,569 can't see how technology could change 1567 01:09:57,530 --> 01:09:54,089 anything this is all just you know 1568 01:10:01,640 --> 01:09:57,540 personal but let's just let's just have 1569 01:10:04,190 --> 01:10:01,650 a case for instance let's say all of a 1570 01:10:05,900 --> 01:10:04,200 sudden someone is born and all of a 1571 01:10:11,150 --> 01:10:05,910 sudden they realize this person really 1572 01:10:15,530 --> 01:10:11,160 has a gift and do you think they would 1573 01:10:17,330 --> 01:10:15,540 initiate something with that person let 1574 01:10:19,130 --> 01:10:17,340 me rephrase your question a little bit 1575 01:10:21,470 --> 01:10:19,140 and it's related and I will answer that 1576 01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:21,480 witness ass and that is why did the 1577 01:10:26,710 --> 01:10:23,010 government get out of this okay yes 1578 01:10:29,150 --> 01:10:26,720 that's what I meant to say and the 1579 01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:29,160 especially one of the things we're 1580 01:10:33,730 --> 01:10:30,330 finding that we're going to be 1581 01:10:36,050 --> 01:10:33,740 publishing you know the CIA published a 1582 01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:36,060 critique called from the american 1583 01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:38,130 institutes of research saying this stuff 1584 01:10:43,460 --> 01:10:39,930 never worked as an intelligence tool 1585 01:10:47,390 --> 01:10:43,470 what was the problem of that in 1980 1586 01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:47,400 alone the CIA came back 35 separate 1587 01:10:52,340 --> 01:10:49,770 times tasking the remote viewers on 1588 01:10:54,410 --> 01:10:52,350 different paths and the way i think 1589 01:10:56,570 --> 01:10:54,420 about that is you know I really hate 1590 01:10:58,670 --> 01:10:56,580 chocolate pie I'm going to have to eat 1591 01:11:04,070 --> 01:10:58,680 15 slices just to make sure that I 1592 01:11:07,790 --> 01:11:04,080 actually ate so it was producing stuff 1593 01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:07,800 that they were pleased with one thing it 1594 01:11:12,470 --> 01:11:09,570 in the intelligence community they have 1595 01:11:14,630 --> 01:11:12,480 what are called hints ints there's faux 1596 01:11:17,300 --> 01:11:14,640 tint from photography there's SIGINT 1597 01:11:19,450 --> 01:11:17,310 from signals there is comment from 1598 01:11:22,190 --> 01:11:19,460 communications intelligence and so on 1599 01:11:23,669 --> 01:11:22,200 one type of intelligence is like the old 1600 01:11:26,310 --> 01:11:23,679 World War two spies 1601 01:11:28,169 --> 01:11:26,320 humans for humans are gathering 1602 01:11:31,500 --> 01:11:28,179 information you know behind enemy lines 1603 01:11:34,350 --> 01:11:31,510 and that kind of stuff our data the good 1604 01:11:37,620 --> 01:11:34,360 news and bad news is as good as humans 1605 01:11:39,450 --> 01:11:37,630 was and equally as bad hmm it's very 1606 01:11:41,970 --> 01:11:39,460 difficult to interpret what's going on 1607 01:11:44,459 --> 01:11:41,980 there but it was good enough now why did 1608 01:11:48,149 --> 01:11:44,469 the program shut down a number of 1609 01:11:50,370 --> 01:11:48,159 reasons the Cold War was over and most 1610 01:11:52,050 --> 01:11:50,380 of the tasking in the Cold War was 1611 01:11:56,189 --> 01:11:52,060 what's called strategic intelligence 1612 01:11:58,320 --> 01:11:56,199 here is a site in in Ukraine at 1613 01:12:00,090 --> 01:11:58,330 Semipalatinsk and people have been 1614 01:12:02,399 --> 01:12:00,100 worrying about it for ten years what the 1615 01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:02,409 blazes is going on at this facility and 1616 01:12:07,260 --> 01:12:05,050 so that is a strategic intelligence 1617 01:12:08,910 --> 01:12:07,270 problem doesn't matter when you book you 1618 01:12:12,959 --> 01:12:08,920 try to figure out what's going on there 1619 01:12:14,550 --> 01:12:12,969 a tactical intelligence problem is where 1620 01:12:17,110 --> 01:12:14,560 Saddam Hussein going to be in the next 1621 01:12:23,630 --> 01:12:20,600 ESP frankly sucks at the second job it's 1622 01:12:26,930 --> 01:12:23,640 much better at the first job and so the 1623 01:12:30,590 --> 01:12:26,940 need for this kind of intelligence for 1624 01:12:32,780 --> 01:12:30,600 for a strategic work with and with 1625 01:12:34,610 --> 01:12:32,790 increased satellite detection and all 1626 01:12:37,430 --> 01:12:34,620 that kind of stuff the need for that 1627 01:12:40,010 --> 01:12:37,440 kind of fell away that's one possible 1628 01:12:45,950 --> 01:12:40,020 possible reasons of a shutdown another 1629 01:12:48,980 --> 01:12:45,960 possible reason is the staffer on the 1630 01:12:51,110 --> 01:12:48,990 Senate Appropriations Committee wanted 1631 01:12:55,340 --> 01:12:51,120 to force this down the throats of CIA 1632 01:12:56,990 --> 01:12:55,350 and nobody at CIA one of the program so 1633 01:13:00,230 --> 01:12:57,000 they did everything they could to shut 1634 01:13:02,570 --> 01:13:00,240 the thing down thirdly and this I think 1635 01:13:04,790 --> 01:13:02,580 is a big one we had a whole series of 1636 01:13:07,730 --> 01:13:04,800 protectors William Cohen was one of them 1637 01:13:10,430 --> 01:13:07,740 who stood between us and the people who 1638 01:13:12,830 --> 01:13:10,440 tried to shut us down and a lot of those 1639 01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:12,840 people who were committed to the 1640 01:13:17,930 --> 01:13:14,610 existence of this phenomena and its 1641 01:13:19,730 --> 01:13:17,940 usefulness have somewhat gone away and 1642 01:13:22,460 --> 01:13:19,740 give you an example of that Joe 1643 01:13:25,190 --> 01:13:22,470 mcmoneagle and I spent a decade a whole 1644 01:13:28,940 --> 01:13:25,200 decade below the radar trying to get 1645 01:13:31,310 --> 01:13:28,950 something started and because in Intel's 1646 01:13:32,690 --> 01:13:31,320 for counterterrorism it's a great thing 1647 01:13:34,730 --> 01:13:32,700 it would be wonderful 1648 01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:34,740 I hope I'm running both they're using it 1649 01:13:40,070 --> 01:13:37,170 now I don't think they are and my 1650 01:13:42,260 --> 01:13:40,080 argument for that is that we found that 1651 01:13:43,700 --> 01:13:42,270 the working stiffs the people who are 1652 01:13:46,460 --> 01:13:43,710 going to be doing the data and the 1653 01:13:50,030 --> 01:13:46,470 analysis loved what we had to do because 1654 01:13:51,440 --> 01:13:50,040 it was cheating you know but every time 1655 01:13:56,390 --> 01:13:51,450 they took they wanted to give a small 1656 01:13:58,070 --> 01:13:56,400 program going they decided that it got 1657 01:14:00,740 --> 01:13:58,080 killed with the management room you know 1658 01:14:02,300 --> 01:14:00,750 upper level officers in the life is of 1659 01:14:06,350 --> 01:14:02,310 no way you know we don't want to get 1660 01:14:10,970 --> 01:14:06,360 caught doing this stuff yeah did I'm to 1661 01:14:13,490 --> 01:14:10,980 have people speculated on how this 1662 01:14:17,660 --> 01:14:13,500 worked in the first place 1663 01:14:20,150 --> 01:14:17,670 like and what and what I see you shaking 1664 01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:20,160 your head yes and what uh what did they 1665 01:14:26,750 --> 01:14:24,930 come up with well there as I said coggan 1666 01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:26,760 father was a electromagnetic and we 1667 01:14:31,590 --> 01:14:28,370 tested that 1668 01:14:34,570 --> 01:14:31,600 we have what's actually surprised me 1669 01:14:38,860 --> 01:14:34,580 what surprised me was we have some memos 1670 01:14:40,090 --> 01:14:38,870 from the CIA even in 1973 outlining what 1671 01:14:42,630 --> 01:14:40,100 they thought would be an appropriate 1672 01:14:45,250 --> 01:14:42,640 research program that was 1673 01:14:47,890 --> 01:14:45,260 psychophysiology what is going to honor 1674 01:14:50,470 --> 01:14:47,900 the brain can we just you know without 1675 01:14:52,030 --> 01:14:50,480 you know with high ethics take 1676 01:14:55,030 --> 01:14:52,040 somebody's brain apart if you will my 1677 01:14:57,310 --> 01:14:55,040 imagery to try to find out what is what 1678 01:15:00,430 --> 01:14:57,320 makes a psychic tick to be blunt about 1679 01:15:02,410 --> 01:15:00,440 it they wanted to know what were the 1680 01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:02,420 target properties what makes a good 1681 01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:04,130 remote viewing target what and what 1682 01:15:07,330 --> 01:15:05,690 shouldn't you waste your time on for 1683 01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:07,340 example if you have satellites that are 1684 01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:09,410 looking at the visible spectrum you 1685 01:15:14,440 --> 01:15:11,090 don't want to send that satellite 1686 01:15:17,170 --> 01:15:14,450 looking for infrared it will work so 1687 01:15:19,330 --> 01:15:17,180 they wanted to know what what would lend 1688 01:15:21,430 --> 01:15:19,340 itself to this kind of new collection 1689 01:15:23,830 --> 01:15:21,440 asset this new collection technique and 1690 01:15:27,670 --> 01:15:23,840 we have a lot we learned a lot about 1691 01:15:29,140 --> 01:15:27,680 that actually and I'll say it crudely if 1692 01:15:31,060 --> 01:15:29,150 you're searching for something you're 1693 01:15:33,940 --> 01:15:31,070 more likely to find it that something is 1694 01:15:36,100 --> 01:15:33,950 radioactive than if it's cocaine mm-hmm 1695 01:15:38,230 --> 01:15:36,110 and there's a good reason for that 1696 01:15:40,030 --> 01:15:38,240 involving changes of entropy and a whole 1697 01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:40,040 lot of stuff which I'm not to vomiting 1698 01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:43,730 well your listeners asleep but we did 1699 01:15:48,220 --> 01:15:45,890 find some qualities that would tell us 1700 01:15:49,930 --> 01:15:48,230 tasks your remote viewers on this kind 1701 01:15:52,570 --> 01:15:49,940 of a problem rather than this kind of 1702 01:15:56,650 --> 01:15:52,580 bubble hmm Wow 1703 01:15:58,270 --> 01:15:56,660 now there's up you know some people I 1704 01:16:00,430 --> 01:15:58,280 don't know if this is true or not but 1705 01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:00,440 they say everything is connected in one 1706 01:16:06,910 --> 01:16:03,650 way or another you know energy and all 1707 01:16:11,020 --> 01:16:06,920 that and then you get all the way down 1708 01:16:19,090 --> 01:16:11,030 to how they can explain the quantum 1709 01:16:20,940 --> 01:16:19,100 entanglement type of thing um so you 1710 01:16:25,690 --> 01:16:20,950 have another hour Hank and I are 1711 01:16:27,550 --> 01:16:25,700 screaming jumping up and down so I'm not 1712 01:16:30,370 --> 01:16:27,560 alright so you don't think it has 1713 01:16:33,970 --> 01:16:30,380 anything to do with any type of quantum 1714 01:16:36,580 --> 01:16:33,980 or unseen pranic absolutely not let me 1715 01:16:39,490 --> 01:16:36,590 know Peggy why first off I have the bona 1716 01:16:41,440 --> 01:16:39,500 things there is no one with one 1717 01:16:43,330 --> 01:16:41,450 exception of the theorists nope 1718 01:16:45,340 --> 01:16:43,340 lawyer by the name of Brian Josephson a 1719 01:16:46,810 --> 01:16:45,350 good friend and a very smart smart 1720 01:16:49,660 --> 01:16:46,820 fellow he disagrees with me 1721 01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:49,670 but i he's not an experimentalist I 1722 01:16:55,180 --> 01:16:52,690 spent 12 years doing nuclear physics 1723 01:16:57,520 --> 01:16:55,190 experiments where I have to live in 1724 01:17:00,370 --> 01:16:57,530 midst of quantum theory and how I'll 1725 01:17:02,530 --> 01:17:00,380 interpret all this and quantum 101 in 1726 01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:02,540 college and graduate school I've had 1727 01:17:07,510 --> 01:17:04,130 lots and lots and lots of money visit 1728 01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:07,520 alright there are those that would hold 1729 01:17:11,470 --> 01:17:09,770 that the brain is the quant is the 1730 01:17:13,510 --> 01:17:11,480 large-scale quantum mechanical thing 1731 01:17:15,220 --> 01:17:13,520 first of all fun level it is because 1732 01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:15,230 quantum mechanics describes how atoms 1733 01:17:19,480 --> 01:17:17,090 interact with each other right in a 1734 01:17:20,980 --> 01:17:19,490 brain at least some some people I know 1735 01:17:22,510 --> 01:17:20,990 their atoms are interacting in their 1736 01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:22,520 brain and they call it thought about 1737 01:17:30,310 --> 01:17:25,850 that but there have been calculations 1738 01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:30,320 and experiments that show that the brain 1739 01:17:34,900 --> 01:17:32,690 does not act like a giant like a giant 1740 01:17:37,450 --> 01:17:34,910 electron and have a wave function that 1741 01:17:39,580 --> 01:17:37,460 can reach across time in quantum 1742 01:17:43,110 --> 01:17:39,590 interconnectedness and and oneness 1743 01:17:45,340 --> 01:17:43,120 across the planet sorry the amount of 1744 01:17:47,890 --> 01:17:45,350 probability waves in quantum theory 1745 01:17:50,020 --> 01:17:47,900 coming from the brain doesn't get even 1746 01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:50,030 through the skull but across and let 1747 01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:52,610 across the planet it just doesn't end 1748 01:17:58,030 --> 01:17:55,010 that's not just philosophy on my part 1749 01:18:00,760 --> 01:17:58,040 that's hard measurements of ATP 80 years 1750 01:18:03,070 --> 01:18:00,770 of looking exactly what constitutes a 1751 01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:03,080 large-scale quantum device as opposed to 1752 01:18:07,420 --> 01:18:05,410 a small and then give you an example 1753 01:18:10,480 --> 01:18:07,430 physicists like to compete with each 1754 01:18:13,630 --> 01:18:10,490 other who can make the largest chunk act 1755 01:18:15,540 --> 01:18:13,640 like a single quantum thing and the 1756 01:18:19,570 --> 01:18:15,550 record is at least a couple years ago 1757 01:18:23,740 --> 01:18:19,580 was 500,000 rubidium atoms rubidium as 1758 01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:23,750 an element 500,000 of them is too small 1759 01:18:27,850 --> 01:18:25,850 respect to see without an unaided eye 1760 01:18:30,730 --> 01:18:27,860 the electron microscope little tiny 1761 01:18:32,650 --> 01:18:30,740 speck and sure enough for me it acts 1762 01:18:34,410 --> 01:18:32,660 like a quantum a collective quantum 1763 01:18:38,440 --> 01:18:34,420 thing that's the good news 1764 01:18:40,630 --> 01:18:38,450 but it does so at millionths of a degree 1765 01:18:43,660 --> 01:18:40,640 above absolute zero and temperature mean 1766 01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:43,670 and as soon as you raise it a little bit 1767 01:18:47,980 --> 01:18:45,890 to maybe a million for the degree above 1768 01:18:49,900 --> 01:18:47,990 absolute zero it quits acting like a 1769 01:18:52,570 --> 01:18:49,910 quantum device now you're going to tell 1770 01:18:53,700 --> 01:18:52,580 me a brain 300 degrees above absolute 1771 01:18:57,510 --> 01:18:53,710 zero 1772 01:19:00,450 --> 01:18:57,520 is going to act like a quantum device 1773 01:19:02,310 --> 01:19:00,460 sorry so what is the argument you 1774 01:19:04,740 --> 01:19:02,320 mentioned your colleague or that you 1775 01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:04,750 said was very smart that believes that 1776 01:19:08,729 --> 01:19:06,370 it's possible 1777 01:19:12,270 --> 01:19:08,739 what is his theory on that what does his 1778 01:19:16,530 --> 01:19:12,280 take his name is Brian Johnson 1779 01:19:17,790 --> 01:19:16,540 Nobel or he won the prize for developing 1780 01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:17,800 what is now called the Josephson 1781 01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:20,650 Junction very nice fellow very he works 1782 01:19:25,590 --> 01:19:23,770 at Cambridge he's invited we argue with 1783 01:19:28,020 --> 01:19:25,600 each other online a lot it cost me a 1784 01:19:29,550 --> 01:19:28,030 coherence junkie so he invited me to 1785 01:19:31,650 --> 01:19:29,560 give a talk at Cambridge and I went 1786 01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:31,660 there and I said my title was the 1787 01:19:40,590 --> 01:19:34,570 confessions of a coherence junkie ha ha 1788 01:19:43,250 --> 01:19:40,600 and what they what he thinks is and he 1789 01:19:46,470 --> 01:19:43,260 has an attitude he's a very serious 1790 01:19:47,100 --> 01:19:46,480 transcendental follower Transcendental 1791 01:19:48,900 --> 01:19:47,110 Meditation 1792 01:19:50,610 --> 01:19:48,910 and I'm not on his case about that I 1793 01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:50,620 think it's cause I spend a lot of time 1794 01:19:54,510 --> 01:19:53,290 to give you myself and that kind of 1795 01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:54,520 experience that people have in 1796 01:19:58,920 --> 01:19:56,650 meditation and he is trying desperately 1797 01:20:02,070 --> 01:19:58,930 to put in some testable ideas 1798 01:20:06,300 --> 01:20:02,080 theoretically to do that the problem is 1799 01:20:09,090 --> 01:20:06,310 that the only day of the people that 1800 01:20:11,750 --> 01:20:09,100 hold the idea that consciousness is not 1801 01:20:13,950 --> 01:20:11,760 located in the brains extending outward 1802 01:20:19,530 --> 01:20:13,960 the only data they have is 1803 01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:19,540 parapsychology now I'm happy if if the 1804 01:20:24,090 --> 01:20:21,489 other side of that argument that is 1805 01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:24,100 materialism know that it's neurons of 1806 01:20:29,700 --> 01:20:27,610 the brain when that begins to fail I'll 1807 01:20:33,450 --> 01:20:29,710 start paying attention else here but at 1808 01:20:36,090 --> 01:20:33,460 the moment as you have to bail Wow 1809 01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:36,100 it's interesting philosophy is damned 1810 01:20:40,140 --> 01:20:38,050 interesting philosophy I'm not you know 1811 01:20:44,190 --> 01:20:40,150 I don't call them horrible stupid people 1812 01:20:47,370 --> 01:20:44,200 like they sometimes refer to us but but 1813 01:20:50,340 --> 01:20:47,380 you know it's a fact I was giving a talk 1814 01:20:52,380 --> 01:20:50,350 at in India once at the Ramakrishna 1815 01:20:54,570 --> 01:20:52,390 mission Institute of culture you call 1816 01:20:58,680 --> 01:20:54,580 cut a very famous place and I was the 1817 01:21:01,979 --> 01:20:58,690 resident materialist invited and what 1818 01:21:04,380 --> 01:21:01,989 was fascinating about that is that one 1819 01:21:06,840 --> 01:21:04,390 of the Ramakrishna mission monks and I 1820 01:21:09,060 --> 01:21:06,850 got on really well together 1821 01:21:11,730 --> 01:21:09,070 and I said look I'd like your philosophy 1822 01:21:12,870 --> 01:21:11,740 of transcendence and survival of bodily 1823 01:21:15,030 --> 01:21:12,880 death that's a much more interesting 1824 01:21:16,860 --> 01:21:15,040 philosophy than mine is which when I 1825 01:21:19,020 --> 01:21:16,870 take my last breath that's the end of it 1826 01:21:21,150 --> 01:21:19,030 I said I hope you're right so why don't 1827 01:21:23,490 --> 01:21:21,160 we try to work together to try to come 1828 01:21:26,250 --> 01:21:23,500 up with some way you have to get beyond 1829 01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:26,260 the literature 3,000 years ago 1830 01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:28,330 you have to know they didn't know about 1831 01:21:31,530 --> 01:21:30,130 genetics they didn't know about neurons 1832 01:21:32,970 --> 01:21:31,540 they didn't know about they didn't know 1833 01:21:35,700 --> 01:21:32,980 about a whole bunch of stuff which we 1834 01:21:39,090 --> 01:21:35,710 now know about can we find some 1835 01:21:41,340 --> 01:21:39,100 experiment that will support that your 1836 01:21:43,710 --> 01:21:41,350 philosophical outlook and reject mine 1837 01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:43,720 and we are still in dialogue about that 1838 01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:45,730 if you have come oh yes Dylan dialog 1839 01:21:51,740 --> 01:21:48,610 loaded now what about head jerk the 1840 01:21:55,650 --> 01:21:51,750 group ever tried the sensory deprivation 1841 01:21:56,880 --> 01:21:55,660 tanks is that anything you've ever tried 1842 01:22:01,110 --> 01:21:56,890 you know what I mean where you float in 1843 01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:01,120 the Saline yeah sure the ganzfeld 1844 01:22:04,980 --> 01:22:03,370 procedure which is a cheaper way of 1845 01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:04,990 doing something like that puts people in 1846 01:22:10,350 --> 01:22:06,810 a mound or tree state of consciousness 1847 01:22:12,870 --> 01:22:10,360 the closest we ever came to that when 1848 01:22:15,060 --> 01:22:12,880 England was working with we had a remote 1849 01:22:18,540 --> 01:22:15,070 viewing room in our laboratory which was 1850 01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:18,550 painted like gunmetal gray with very 1851 01:22:22,170 --> 01:22:20,410 small lighting and if everything was 1852 01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:22,180 gray there was no artwork on the walls 1853 01:22:27,330 --> 01:22:24,370 and nothing it was kind of a featureless 1854 01:22:28,830 --> 01:22:27,340 room in which to do the work and we've 1855 01:22:30,660 --> 01:22:28,840 done work on altered states of 1856 01:22:33,450 --> 01:22:30,670 consciousness with regard to hypnosis 1857 01:22:34,980 --> 01:22:33,460 and lucid dreaming neither of those 1858 01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:34,990 enhanced remote viewing 1859 01:22:40,350 --> 01:22:37,600 neither of them Wow how about that now 1860 01:22:42,510 --> 01:22:40,360 where does a you mentioned something 1861 01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:42,520 about someone could Remote View 1862 01:22:50,850 --> 01:22:47,530 something like a day in advance so is 1863 01:22:53,460 --> 01:22:50,860 there any type of connection to possible 1864 01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:53,470 time travel of thoughts or something how 1865 01:23:00,960 --> 01:22:56,050 does it how would that how does that 1866 01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:00,970 work well until one this two volumes set 1867 01:23:06,330 --> 01:23:02,890 we have a philosopher mainstream 1868 01:23:07,950 --> 01:23:06,340 philosopher from Australia who addressed 1869 01:23:10,020 --> 01:23:07,960 the question because most people think 1870 01:23:12,450 --> 01:23:10,030 precognition violates causality 1871 01:23:16,260 --> 01:23:12,460 causality means I've got this battery 1872 01:23:18,799 --> 01:23:16,270 and it will won't fall into my hand 1873 01:23:22,250 --> 01:23:18,809 unless until I open my fingers right 1874 01:23:23,930 --> 01:23:22,260 so how can it fall before I open like my 1875 01:23:25,819 --> 01:23:23,940 fingers that violates the causal 1876 01:23:28,370 --> 01:23:25,829 relationship between opening my fingers 1877 01:23:30,229 --> 01:23:28,380 of this battery falling and so I thought 1878 01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:30,239 for a long period of time one big 1879 01:23:35,569 --> 01:23:32,610 problem we have about precognition is it 1880 01:23:38,899 --> 01:23:35,579 appeared turns out to be incorrect that 1881 01:23:42,319 --> 01:23:38,909 it violates causality and what this guy 1882 01:23:44,479 --> 01:23:42,329 did Richard Richard Cory's his name was 1883 01:23:47,750 --> 01:23:44,489 able to demonstrate philosophically how 1884 01:23:50,060 --> 01:23:47,760 it does not violate causality now that 1885 01:23:52,189 --> 01:23:50,070 gets really interesting because what it 1886 01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:52,199 says is you know all those science 1887 01:23:56,390 --> 01:23:53,730 fiction programs which are a lot of fun 1888 01:23:58,720 --> 01:23:56,400 if you can see the future are you 1889 01:24:01,879 --> 01:23:58,730 condemned to experience that future is 1890 01:24:04,459 --> 01:24:01,889 it is it absolutely guaranteed 1891 01:24:06,919 --> 01:24:04,469 you know deterministically so that you 1892 01:24:10,970 --> 01:24:06,929 cannot avoid it in fact Sandra Bullock 1893 01:24:14,089 --> 01:24:10,980 I've acted in a film called premonitions 1894 01:24:15,919 --> 01:24:14,099 and she had this premonition that her 1895 01:24:17,839 --> 01:24:15,929 husband was going to get killed and she 1896 01:24:19,370 --> 01:24:17,849 and she did everything to prevent that 1897 01:24:21,830 --> 01:24:19,380 to happen but at the end of the day 1898 01:24:24,859 --> 01:24:21,840 nature conspired against her and her 1899 01:24:27,549 --> 01:24:24,869 husband until unfortunately Joe make 1900 01:24:30,109 --> 01:24:27,559 monocle and I did a real premonitions 1901 01:24:32,330 --> 01:24:30,119 set on the media this is one of those my 1902 01:24:34,100 --> 01:24:32,340 fishing about the media they didn't tell 1903 01:24:38,450 --> 01:24:34,110 us that they wanted to be an extra on 1904 01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:38,460 the DVD of that movie we could show real 1905 01:24:43,549 --> 01:24:39,690 print cognition under laboratory 1906 01:24:47,209 --> 01:24:43,559 conditions but our data shows that you 1907 01:24:50,779 --> 01:24:47,219 can have access to alternative futures 1908 01:24:52,250 --> 01:24:50,789 those that don't come come to the past 1909 01:24:54,470 --> 01:24:52,260 let me explain how that happens it's 1910 01:24:57,049 --> 01:24:54,480 really easy to understand it imagine a 1911 01:25:00,260 --> 01:24:57,059 six-sided die has six phases right 1 2 3 1912 01:25:02,930 --> 01:25:00,270 4 5 6 imagine the following very boring 1913 01:25:05,089 --> 01:25:02,940 cakes that met that where the computer 1914 01:25:07,549 --> 01:25:05,099 died you know it's not in real diet you 1915 01:25:09,350 --> 01:25:07,559 you say ok what we'd like you to do is 1916 01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:09,360 to press a number 1 through 6 on the 1917 01:25:13,879 --> 01:25:11,610 keyboard and after you press the number 1918 01:25:16,220 --> 01:25:13,889 the computer will randomly toss this 1919 01:25:18,379 --> 01:25:16,230 random kind of this real fair guy and 1920 01:25:21,109 --> 01:25:18,389 show you a face almost cream so you 1921 01:25:22,970 --> 01:25:21,119 print you pissed press number 3 and 6 1922 01:25:25,189 --> 01:25:22,980 comes up units you press number 4 and a 1923 01:25:28,490 --> 01:25:25,199 4 comes up it's a direct hit but we 1924 01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:28,500 fooled you half the time when you 1925 01:25:32,050 --> 01:25:31,170 pressed number 4 we rolled the dice 1926 01:25:33,430 --> 01:25:32,060 twice 1927 01:25:36,220 --> 01:25:33,440 it happened so fast you don't notice 1928 01:25:38,650 --> 01:25:36,230 that delayed that suppose you press 1929 01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:38,660 number four and it rolls of ice and it 1930 01:25:43,330 --> 01:25:40,250 comes up some number let's say through 1931 01:25:45,580 --> 01:25:43,340 we then biased to that die for the next 1932 01:25:47,050 --> 01:25:45,590 throw so that number three on a fifty 1933 01:25:49,030 --> 01:25:47,060 percent chance of coming up and the 1934 01:25:51,610 --> 01:25:49,040 other faces have a 10 percent chance and 1935 01:25:54,100 --> 01:25:51,620 then roll that die display for you now 1936 01:25:57,220 --> 01:25:54,110 the interesting question is could you 1937 01:25:59,170 --> 01:25:57,230 well under those cases for the most 1938 01:26:00,310 --> 01:25:59,180 likely future in other words the one 1939 01:26:03,910 --> 01:26:00,320 that was going to come up fifty percent 1940 01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:03,920 of the time but didn't what did you 1941 01:26:08,710 --> 01:26:06,170 guess the face that came up or the face 1942 01:26:11,440 --> 01:26:08,720 that should have come up it didn't that 1943 01:26:13,480 --> 01:26:11,450 answered that question directly are you 1944 01:26:16,330 --> 01:26:13,490 condemned to see that the only future 1945 01:26:18,820 --> 01:26:16,340 that happens the answer is no you can 1946 01:26:21,730 --> 01:26:18,830 you track the most probable future 1947 01:26:23,410 --> 01:26:21,740 whether it comes up or not if so if you 1948 01:26:25,150 --> 01:26:23,420 have a second tree we can get by a hit 1949 01:26:27,850 --> 01:26:25,160 by a truck on the way to work stay in 1950 01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:27,860 bed you'll be fine that's good to know 1951 01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:32,570 now it is yeah episode has somebody paid 1952 01:26:39,270 --> 01:26:34,850 me to do this heavy duty philosophical 1953 01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:39,280 experiment wow what a drawing right so a 1954 01:26:48,370 --> 01:26:44,210 1985 it closed and computers Oh eyes are 1955 01:26:50,440 --> 01:26:48,380 in 1995 ok so you are in with computers 1956 01:26:52,810 --> 01:26:50,450 I was just going to ask you what what 1957 01:26:59,800 --> 01:26:52,820 and I heard you mentioned a couple of 1958 01:27:01,420 --> 01:26:59,810 programs so what part of your job was 1959 01:27:04,780 --> 01:27:01,430 involved in computers and do you think 1960 01:27:06,820 --> 01:27:04,790 today with the advanced you know 1961 01:27:07,930 --> 01:27:06,830 technology things would be different 1962 01:27:12,250 --> 01:27:07,940 you'd be able to do different 1963 01:27:15,730 --> 01:27:12,260 experiments very much so um in fact now 1964 01:27:18,340 --> 01:27:15,740 I have an entire self-contained credible 1965 01:27:20,500 --> 01:27:18,350 good remote viewing program that I can 1966 01:27:22,870 --> 01:27:20,510 send around the people to do really 1967 01:27:25,990 --> 01:27:22,880 really am and it's all through 1968 01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:26,000 algorithms and things like that or yeah 1969 01:27:32,620 --> 01:27:29,930 yes there's let me describe a little 1970 01:27:36,010 --> 01:27:32,630 geeky here a something called a 1971 01:27:38,980 --> 01:27:36,020 mathematical set if I can thank you tell 1972 01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:38,990 me the set of cities that have a million 1973 01:27:45,909 --> 01:27:42,730 population or more you say okay la 1974 01:27:48,850 --> 01:27:45,919 Chicago and so on you could give us 1975 01:27:51,549 --> 01:27:48,860 named bunch of cities the problem is 1976 01:27:53,859 --> 01:27:51,559 what happens if you have a C that is one 1977 01:27:55,149 --> 01:27:53,869 person short of the million it doesn't 1978 01:27:56,949 --> 01:27:55,159 fit that set 1979 01:28:00,279 --> 01:27:56,959 it's called a crisp set the engines are 1980 01:28:03,009 --> 01:28:00,289 really hard but somebody at Berkeley got 1981 01:28:05,229 --> 01:28:03,019 means on the pick in the 70s invented 1982 01:28:07,870 --> 01:28:05,239 something similar called a fuzzy set 1983 01:28:10,029 --> 01:28:07,880 where now you can ask a really difficult 1984 01:28:12,399 --> 01:28:10,039 question give me the list of cities that 1985 01:28:14,020 --> 01:28:12,409 are kind of big you say well what do you 1986 01:28:17,229 --> 01:28:14,030 mean by kind of bigness I don't know you 1987 01:28:20,049 --> 01:28:17,239 can indent that term and fuzzy sets are 1988 01:28:21,459 --> 01:28:20,059 in television and fuzzy sets are used by 1989 01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:21,469 Google to show you about what 1990 01:28:28,209 --> 01:28:23,570 advertisements you should see on your 1991 01:28:29,979 --> 01:28:28,219 Google machine and so on okay well a way 1992 01:28:32,919 --> 01:28:29,989 and think about fuzzy sets it's a 1993 01:28:35,739 --> 01:28:32,929 quantitative way of describing the 1994 01:28:38,489 --> 01:28:35,749 ambiguous and I thought what is more 1995 01:28:41,469 --> 01:28:38,499 vigorous that we're both doing so I I 1996 01:28:44,139 --> 01:28:41,479 incorporated fuzzy sets into the remote 1997 01:28:46,689 --> 01:28:44,149 viewing process automatic judging and it 1998 01:28:48,189 --> 01:28:46,699 works like gangbusters it's really good 1999 01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:48,199 wow that's amazing 2000 01:28:51,850 --> 01:28:51,050 amazing so um this is going to be it for 2001 01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:51,860 the show tonight 2002
