00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:54,879 book that you have written is uh is 82 00:03:58,949 --> 00:03:56,480 pretty interesting and you and i talked 83 00:04:02,149 --> 00:03:58,959 a little bit about it you know off air 84 00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:02,159 and it really is uh i i mentioned in a 85 00:04:07,030 --> 00:04:03,920 nutshell that i had a conversation 86 00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:07,040 with a friend just yesterday and i said 87 00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:08,480 you know i don't think we know a lot of 88 00:04:10,470 --> 00:04:10,080 what is going on around us and that's 89 00:04:13,589 --> 00:04:10,480 kind of 90 00:04:14,309 --> 00:04:13,599 the inspiration or an inspiration type 91 00:04:16,550 --> 00:04:14,319 of 92 00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:16,560 theme to why you wrote this book is that 93 00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:18,880 do i have that right 94 00:04:25,110 --> 00:04:23,280 absolutely yeah um i mean to sort of put 95 00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:25,120 a little bit of a fine point on it 96 00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:26,479 there's 97 00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:28,960 in some scientists in terms of the world 98 00:04:31,110 --> 00:04:30,560 view there's there's some arrogance 99 00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:31,120 there 100 00:04:37,270 --> 00:04:34,400 that in my opinion is sort of not unlike 101 00:04:39,189 --> 00:04:37,280 the old arrogance as we used to see you 102 00:04:41,590 --> 00:04:39,199 know when the catholic church was 103 00:04:42,230 --> 00:04:41,600 sort of the the big guy on the block you 104 00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:42,240 know 105 00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:43,919 saying what what you're allowed to talk 106 00:04:45,510 --> 00:04:45,120 about what you're not allowed to talk 107 00:04:49,510 --> 00:04:45,520 about 108 00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:49,520 what's real um i feel like there's a 109 00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:52,560 there's a way in which science is 110 00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:55,360 you know it has a reputation for being 111 00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:57,040 very clear-eyed and 112 00:05:03,189 --> 00:05:01,120 you know will take all the evidence um 113 00:05:04,550 --> 00:05:03,199 but you you kind of scratch the surface 114 00:05:07,830 --> 00:05:04,560 a little and 115 00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:07,840 it's it's not the case at all um there's 116 00:05:11,909 --> 00:05:11,120 there's taboo subjects in academics and 117 00:05:13,749 --> 00:05:11,919 in science 118 00:05:15,590 --> 00:05:13,759 and you know you and your listeners are 119 00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:15,600 well aware of uh 120 00:05:19,430 --> 00:05:17,759 how much human experience is just 121 00:05:22,870 --> 00:05:19,440 basically ignored 122 00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:22,880 um by science so 123 00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:25,039 the book but i think a lot of a lot of 124 00:05:30,230 --> 00:05:26,880 intelligent people 125 00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:30,240 um just kind of accept science 126 00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:33,120 um which i argue doesn't exist we can 127 00:05:37,029 --> 00:05:33,919 talk about that 128 00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:37,039 later if you want um 129 00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:39,680 they a lot of intelligent people uh 130 00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:40,720 think 131 00:05:46,629 --> 00:05:44,479 science is giving them this unbiased 132 00:05:48,230 --> 00:05:46,639 picture of the world um particularly 133 00:05:50,469 --> 00:05:48,240 ultimate reality 134 00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:50,479 and the the book just explores all the 135 00:05:57,830 --> 00:05:52,560 ways you know it sort of pokes holes in 136 00:06:01,830 --> 00:06:00,150 i'm really curious right off the bat 137 00:06:05,189 --> 00:06:01,840 about what you mean 138 00:06:06,710 --> 00:06:05,199 by the phrase science doesn't exist 139 00:06:08,469 --> 00:06:06,720 so can you go into that a little bit 140 00:06:10,390 --> 00:06:08,479 that's that i want to hear what you're 141 00:06:14,070 --> 00:06:10,400 saying about that 142 00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:14,080 yeah sure um i think we're on a bit of a 143 00:06:16,550 --> 00:06:15,440 delay but i think it's i think it's 144 00:06:20,550 --> 00:06:16,560 working out okay 145 00:06:22,390 --> 00:06:20,560 um so science doesn't exist what exists 146 00:06:25,830 --> 00:06:22,400 are scientists 147 00:06:29,270 --> 00:06:25,840 right science is an abstract idea 148 00:06:32,950 --> 00:06:29,280 um just like god is an abstract idea 149 00:06:35,830 --> 00:06:32,960 um and so 150 00:06:37,270 --> 00:06:35,840 it if there's a sort of public vague 151 00:06:39,189 --> 00:06:37,280 notion that 152 00:06:40,629 --> 00:06:39,199 something called science exists well 153 00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:40,639 then of course 154 00:06:44,550 --> 00:06:42,880 this this fictional thing called science 155 00:06:46,629 --> 00:06:44,560 of course is interested in reality and 156 00:06:49,350 --> 00:06:46,639 finding out about reality 157 00:06:50,469 --> 00:06:49,360 um but if if you think of it as science 158 00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:50,479 doesn't exist 159 00:06:56,230 --> 00:06:53,840 scientists human scientists exist 160 00:06:57,830 --> 00:06:56,240 and human scientists you know they have 161 00:06:59,749 --> 00:06:57,840 to get tenure they have to 162 00:07:02,390 --> 00:06:59,759 they have to look respectable to their 163 00:07:04,790 --> 00:07:02,400 peers they have to get grants they 164 00:07:06,150 --> 00:07:04,800 they have all sorts of things to think 165 00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:06,160 about and worry about 166 00:07:11,990 --> 00:07:09,440 um you know what scientists 167 00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:12,000 human being scientists out there really 168 00:07:14,870 --> 00:07:14,000 you know sort of has an incentive to 169 00:07:18,309 --> 00:07:14,880 explore this 170 00:07:20,469 --> 00:07:18,319 very very confusing you know as you were 171 00:07:22,309 --> 00:07:20,479 saying earlier very um 172 00:07:23,589 --> 00:07:22,319 hit and miss you can't you can't just 173 00:07:26,230 --> 00:07:23,599 set up a 174 00:07:26,950 --> 00:07:26,240 a camera on a hill somewhere and expect 175 00:07:31,189 --> 00:07:26,960 to get 176 00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:31,199 a sighting um it's a very confusing 177 00:07:34,309 --> 00:07:33,280 and and we can talk about all this you 178 00:07:36,550 --> 00:07:34,319 know why it's 179 00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:36,560 the elements that i think make it so 180 00:07:41,830 --> 00:07:38,160 confusing for scientists 181 00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:41,840 um so i think what a lot of scientists 182 00:07:45,270 --> 00:07:42,240 do 183 00:07:46,550 --> 00:07:45,280 is instead of saying look uh 184 00:07:48,869 --> 00:07:46,560 there's real there's legitimate 185 00:07:50,869 --> 00:07:48,879 experiences out there 186 00:07:51,909 --> 00:07:50,879 they're happening a lot they're 187 00:07:54,950 --> 00:07:51,919 confusing 188 00:07:55,909 --> 00:07:54,960 they're inconsistent uh we can't come up 189 00:07:58,950 --> 00:07:55,919 with any 190 00:08:00,469 --> 00:07:58,960 law or equation so and 191 00:08:01,749 --> 00:08:00,479 they're very inconvenient that's a 192 00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:01,759 that's a big word in my book 193 00:08:05,670 --> 00:08:02,960 inconvenience 194 00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:05,680 so instead of saying all that they say 195 00:08:09,510 --> 00:08:06,160 oh 196 00:08:12,550 --> 00:08:09,520 they don't exist that's silly well 197 00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:12,560 um you know earlier i just threw out the 198 00:08:17,189 --> 00:08:13,759 topic of 199 00:08:19,830 --> 00:08:17,199 dark matter and and dark energy um 200 00:08:21,189 --> 00:08:19,840 on and that was actually a topic in my 201 00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:21,199 show last week too 202 00:08:27,110 --> 00:08:24,400 um with a f-16 uh fighter pilot 203 00:08:29,270 --> 00:08:27,120 i talked a little bit about that um but 204 00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:29,280 i mean that's another thing that 205 00:08:32,949 --> 00:08:32,159 you know we can't explain all of that 206 00:08:36,790 --> 00:08:32,959 but yet 207 00:08:40,949 --> 00:08:36,800 scientists are convinced that it exists 208 00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:40,959 right right um 209 00:08:44,070 --> 00:08:43,200 and that's because there there are 210 00:08:49,990 --> 00:08:44,080 consistent 211 00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:50,000 where they can look at the way gallup 212 00:08:56,230 --> 00:08:52,320 for instance galaxies behave 213 00:08:58,150 --> 00:08:56,240 um that just is not consistent with 214 00:09:00,150 --> 00:08:58,160 uh if there was only the kind of matter 215 00:09:04,230 --> 00:09:00,160 that we can see for instance 216 00:09:05,590 --> 00:09:04,240 um the galaxies would behave differently 217 00:09:07,750 --> 00:09:05,600 and this is something they can see 218 00:09:08,949 --> 00:09:07,760 consistently they can make their 219 00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:08,959 measurements and then they can 220 00:09:12,389 --> 00:09:10,560 consistently see that 221 00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:12,399 the universe is expanding at a certain 222 00:09:15,110 --> 00:09:14,160 rate that cannot be explained with the 223 00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:15,120 known energy 224 00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:17,600 so then they say well there's there's 225 00:09:20,550 --> 00:09:19,760 this must be this energy and this matter 226 00:09:23,990 --> 00:09:20,560 out there that's 227 00:09:24,389 --> 00:09:24,000 causing this um so sure they can talk 228 00:09:26,150 --> 00:09:24,399 about 229 00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:26,160 certain unknown things as long as 230 00:09:30,310 --> 00:09:28,640 they're sort of playing ball 231 00:09:33,350 --> 00:09:30,320 playing on the scientists terms which 232 00:09:36,550 --> 00:09:33,360 are a lot to do with consistency 233 00:09:39,030 --> 00:09:36,560 equations predictability 234 00:09:40,790 --> 00:09:39,040 uh which which none of this paranormal 235 00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:40,800 quote paranormal 236 00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:44,880 um stuff it really is not playing ball 237 00:09:49,750 --> 00:09:48,000 uh according to the rules of science 238 00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:49,760 but that doesn't mean it's not real it 239 00:09:53,990 --> 00:09:51,920 doesn't mean it's not legitimate 240 00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:54,000 which is what a lot of a lot of 241 00:09:58,150 --> 00:09:55,600 respectable scientists will say they'll 242 00:10:01,269 --> 00:09:58,160 just poo poo the whole realm 243 00:10:03,509 --> 00:10:01,279 now you're actually uh sorry 244 00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:03,519 um go ahead finish your your thought 245 00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:04,399 there 246 00:10:07,430 --> 00:10:05,920 yeah just add a certain and and i was 247 00:10:08,150 --> 00:10:07,440 just going to say and and it's a realm 248 00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:08,160 that is 249 00:10:12,550 --> 00:10:10,720 uh well documented in the history of all 250 00:10:15,509 --> 00:10:12,560 humanity in all cultures 251 00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:15,519 uh you know in today's culture they get 252 00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:16,560 called things like 253 00:10:21,590 --> 00:10:19,760 ufos bigfoots aliens in other cultures 254 00:10:23,350 --> 00:10:21,600 very similar phenomenon but it was 255 00:10:25,990 --> 00:10:23,360 called different things sometimes 256 00:10:27,829 --> 00:10:26,000 fairies or you know spirits of the dead 257 00:10:30,829 --> 00:10:27,839 or this that the other so i 258 00:10:32,310 --> 00:10:30,839 my book also kind of gets gets into the 259 00:10:36,710 --> 00:10:32,320 historical uh 260 00:10:39,990 --> 00:10:36,720 dimensions of this type of phenomena 261 00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:40,000 well um so i think also we should 262 00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:41,040 probably just touch 263 00:10:44,069 --> 00:10:42,640 a little bit i should have done this in 264 00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:44,079 the very beginning but i guess it 265 00:10:47,350 --> 00:10:45,360 doesn't really matter 266 00:10:48,630 --> 00:10:47,360 but you do have quite a bit you have an 267 00:10:52,310 --> 00:10:48,640 interesting background 268 00:10:55,750 --> 00:10:52,320 so you're not just someone just talking 269 00:10:58,310 --> 00:10:55,760 you know you you have uh an education 270 00:10:59,269 --> 00:10:58,320 uh you went to harvard and you want to 271 00:11:01,590 --> 00:10:59,279 just give a little bit of your 272 00:11:04,310 --> 00:11:01,600 background 273 00:11:07,590 --> 00:11:04,320 yes it's a it's a little eclectic um 274 00:11:10,870 --> 00:11:09,509 you know i i mean i'll preface i'll 275 00:11:12,470 --> 00:11:10,880 preface my 276 00:11:14,790 --> 00:11:12,480 uh description of my background by 277 00:11:16,949 --> 00:11:14,800 saying that 278 00:11:18,630 --> 00:11:16,959 it is eclectic and and that's i think 279 00:11:20,069 --> 00:11:18,640 one of the things i can bring to the 280 00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:20,079 discussion is 281 00:11:26,550 --> 00:11:23,360 i i i'm not part of a sort of a 282 00:11:30,389 --> 00:11:26,560 one small culture i um 283 00:11:31,430 --> 00:11:30,399 i'm not an academic um i'm an artist i 284 00:11:34,710 --> 00:11:31,440 write poetry 285 00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:34,720 um i've written screenplays uh comedy 286 00:11:38,710 --> 00:11:36,240 i've written com i was on the harvard 287 00:11:42,150 --> 00:11:38,720 lampoon which is a comedy magazine 288 00:11:45,590 --> 00:11:42,160 yeah um so i do that or i 289 00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:45,600 sort of you know here and there um 290 00:11:51,269 --> 00:11:49,360 and i also teach science and math um 291 00:11:53,030 --> 00:11:51,279 my father was an academic and a 292 00:11:54,829 --> 00:11:53,040 scientist and he's still alive he's 293 00:11:57,590 --> 00:11:54,839 retired 294 00:11:59,750 --> 00:11:57,600 um and he had a pretty atheist 295 00:12:01,829 --> 00:11:59,760 you know kind of conventionally 296 00:12:05,110 --> 00:12:01,839 scientific outlook 297 00:12:07,750 --> 00:12:05,120 um my mother uh 298 00:12:10,629 --> 00:12:07,760 ended up being a spiritual seeker uh 299 00:12:13,670 --> 00:12:10,639 they divorced when i was about nine um 300 00:12:17,990 --> 00:12:13,680 and so she was more open to sort of 301 00:12:21,509 --> 00:12:18,000 alternative um spiritual kind of areas 302 00:12:23,350 --> 00:12:21,519 and so i've been kind of 303 00:12:24,949 --> 00:12:23,360 almost like a foot in both worlds in 304 00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:24,959 terms of 305 00:12:31,910 --> 00:12:29,279 um my mother and my father and i think 306 00:12:32,870 --> 00:12:31,920 one of the sort of impetuses behind my 307 00:12:36,069 --> 00:12:32,880 book was to 308 00:12:38,389 --> 00:12:36,079 you know let we can marry them like we 309 00:12:41,590 --> 00:12:38,399 we don't i'm not saying science is 310 00:12:45,509 --> 00:12:41,600 is crap and useless at all um 311 00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:45,519 it's obviously we're talking together 312 00:12:51,110 --> 00:12:47,360 right now because of science 313 00:12:52,150 --> 00:12:51,120 um so so this is this is more the big 314 00:12:55,350 --> 00:12:52,160 picture the ultimate 315 00:12:57,430 --> 00:12:55,360 um the ultimate view of reality 316 00:12:58,470 --> 00:12:57,440 so yeah i i was a biology major at 317 00:13:01,829 --> 00:12:58,480 harvard i 318 00:13:04,069 --> 00:13:01,839 i started writing comedy there um 319 00:13:07,030 --> 00:13:04,079 i taught some i taught some high school 320 00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:07,040 uh math and science uh went down to 321 00:13:12,470 --> 00:13:10,160 l.a with a writing partner and uh we 322 00:13:14,790 --> 00:13:12,480 we got an agent i i had some success 323 00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:14,800 with uh with a script down there 324 00:13:19,670 --> 00:13:17,920 um i ended up not really liking la and 325 00:13:21,030 --> 00:13:19,680 hollywood this sort of just wasn't my 326 00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:21,040 scene 327 00:13:26,069 --> 00:13:24,240 so uh came back up to the the bay area 328 00:13:28,550 --> 00:13:26,079 in northern california 329 00:13:30,629 --> 00:13:28,560 uh where my mom and my sister live so i 330 00:13:33,590 --> 00:13:30,639 kind of have roots up here 331 00:13:34,790 --> 00:13:33,600 um and and i wrote another screenplay up 332 00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:34,800 here 333 00:13:41,670 --> 00:13:38,720 um and then i started getting actually 334 00:13:43,509 --> 00:13:41,680 into into the guitar so i learned that 335 00:13:46,949 --> 00:13:43,519 and started a band and 336 00:13:51,110 --> 00:13:46,959 i recorded some songs um 337 00:13:56,790 --> 00:13:54,389 so uh so then uh 338 00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:56,800 i've been teaching science and and math 339 00:13:59,910 --> 00:13:57,680 and uh 340 00:14:01,269 --> 00:13:59,920 and getting more into uh sort of 341 00:14:05,670 --> 00:14:01,279 philosophy poetry 342 00:14:07,670 --> 00:14:05,680 um lately and uh 343 00:14:09,590 --> 00:14:07,680 my whole life really i've been 344 00:14:11,030 --> 00:14:09,600 fascinated by 345 00:14:12,870 --> 00:14:11,040 by all the stuff i talk about in the 346 00:14:14,629 --> 00:14:12,880 book it's it's been a lifelong 347 00:14:18,310 --> 00:14:14,639 exploration whether it's 348 00:14:20,550 --> 00:14:18,320 carl jung or buddhism or um 349 00:14:22,150 --> 00:14:20,560 you know what we know about jesus so 350 00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:22,160 sort of you know historical 351 00:14:29,030 --> 00:14:26,000 biblical exploration um channeling 352 00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:29,040 um and of course 353 00:14:34,069 --> 00:14:32,320 paranormal phenomenon and just 354 00:14:36,629 --> 00:14:34,079 trying to make sense of it all and sort 355 00:14:40,389 --> 00:14:36,639 of integrate it into some 356 00:14:42,870 --> 00:14:40,399 kind of notions about reality 357 00:14:44,310 --> 00:14:42,880 uh that that makes sense to me i don't 358 00:14:45,030 --> 00:14:44,320 know if i don't know if that made sense 359 00:14:47,910 --> 00:14:45,040 i kind of 360 00:14:49,750 --> 00:14:47,920 jumped all over the place there but 361 00:14:52,230 --> 00:14:49,760 happy to clarify 362 00:14:53,829 --> 00:14:52,240 yeah um i just want to do a little shout 363 00:14:57,030 --> 00:14:53,839 out to mark stanley who is a 364 00:14:59,509 --> 00:14:57,040 fantastic musician um he's in our chat 365 00:15:01,350 --> 00:14:59,519 and uh i think he might know who

similar 369 00:15:07,910 --> 00:15:05,680 life yeah 370 00:15:09,829 --> 00:15:07,920 check out mark stanley online he's he's 371 00:15:11,350 --> 00:15:09,839 really an incredible musician 372 00:15:14,389 --> 00:15:11,360 and he went through a really hard time 373 00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:14,399 and and uh and he's doing really well 374 00:15:20,949 --> 00:15:17,760 so uh yeah but anyway uh 375 00:15:24,470 --> 00:15:20,959 he says hi to everyone um so 376 00:15:27,110 --> 00:15:24,480 uh now as far as like 377 00:15:28,629 --> 00:15:27,120 the ufo topic i know that you know this 378 00:15:32,389 --> 00:15:28,639 is a show about ufos 379 00:15:34,230 --> 00:15:32,399 but you also think that 380 00:15:35,990 --> 00:15:34,240 do you when you're saying that science 381 00:15:38,310 --> 00:15:36,000 can't explain it 382 00:15:41,030 --> 00:15:38,320 can you just kind of go into what you 383 00:15:45,749 --> 00:15:41,040 what your thoughts are about that 384 00:15:49,269 --> 00:15:47,110 i'm going to back up a little with the 385 00:15:52,710 --> 00:15:49,279 big picture and i i will 386 00:15:54,790 --> 00:15:52,720 hopefully answer the question so 387 00:15:56,150 --> 00:15:54,800 one of the one of the ideas i think 388 00:15:58,310 --> 00:15:56,160 that's out there 389 00:15:59,350 --> 00:15:58,320 particularly with regard to sort of the 390 00:16:02,949 --> 00:15:59,360 scientific 391 00:16:05,829 --> 00:16:02,959 um let's say lens or view 392 00:16:08,790 --> 00:16:05,839 is that again again science sort of is 393 00:16:11,110 --> 00:16:08,800 is clear-eyed there's no there's no bias 394 00:16:13,030 --> 00:16:11,120 there's no there's no prejudice we we 395 00:16:14,550 --> 00:16:13,040 take data as they come 396 00:16:16,470 --> 00:16:14,560 you know and we deal with the data we 397 00:16:20,710 --> 00:16:16,480 deal with the evidence 398 00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:20,720 um i don't think that's true i think 399 00:16:26,310 --> 00:16:24,000 i think that every view of reality 400 00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:26,320 in in a way i don't think there is such 401 00:16:30,470 --> 00:16:27,120 a thing as 402 00:16:33,749 --> 00:16:30,480 reality as a as one thing because 403 00:16:35,509 --> 00:16:33,759 as humans we we see 404 00:16:38,310 --> 00:16:35,519 we have to see reality through a certain 405 00:16:41,990 --> 00:16:38,320 lens we have to make certain assumptions 406 00:16:44,230 --> 00:16:42,000 um you know when i see when i see some 407 00:16:47,110 --> 00:16:44,240 wood stuck together in a certain way 408 00:16:49,030 --> 00:16:47,120 i call that a chair i i bring the 409 00:16:52,150 --> 00:16:49,040 concept of a chair to that 410 00:16:54,470 --> 00:16:52,160 but you so say say a 411 00:16:56,710 --> 00:16:54,480 a neanderthal or a cro-magnon person saw 412 00:16:58,389 --> 00:16:56,720 that they don't have that concept they 413 00:17:01,430 --> 00:16:58,399 they they would probably see 414 00:17:03,829 --> 00:17:01,440 12 pieces of kindling um 415 00:17:05,110 --> 00:17:03,839 they don't so they're sort of drawing 416 00:17:07,270 --> 00:17:05,120 lines 417 00:17:08,549 --> 00:17:07,280 in reality in different places right 418 00:17:12,069 --> 00:17:08,559 they're drawing lines around 419 00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:12,079 each little stick um 420 00:17:17,350 --> 00:17:15,280 so and this is 421 00:17:19,189 --> 00:17:17,360 the reason i wrote a whole book about it 422 00:17:21,270 --> 00:17:19,199 is it's not it's not a simplistic 423 00:17:22,710 --> 00:17:21,280 kind of concept to get across but i'm 424 00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:22,720 doing my best here 425 00:17:29,190 --> 00:17:26,160 um so we we bring 426 00:17:31,430 --> 00:17:29,200 lenses to the world and these lenses 427 00:17:32,870 --> 00:17:31,440 or assumptions you could call them 428 00:17:34,710 --> 00:17:32,880 they're not right or wrong 429 00:17:36,150 --> 00:17:34,720 you know they're ways of interacting 430 00:17:39,110 --> 00:17:36,160 with the world 431 00:17:41,350 --> 00:17:39,120 so science's way of interacting with the 432 00:17:41,830 --> 00:17:41,360 world is very analytical it it likes to 433 00:17:47,669 --> 00:17:41,840 break 434 00:17:50,150 --> 00:17:47,679 and it also likes what's predictable 435 00:17:51,750 --> 00:17:50,160 science you could say and some have said 436 00:17:53,669 --> 00:17:51,760 science is really fundamentally about 437 00:17:57,430 --> 00:17:53,679 making predictions you know 438 00:18:00,950 --> 00:17:57,440 um here's this is an equation or a law 439 00:18:03,510 --> 00:18:00,960 um but we forget that 440 00:18:04,870 --> 00:18:03,520 that to to say something is predictable 441 00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:04,880 or consistent 442 00:18:09,270 --> 00:18:07,280 or follows an equation that those are 443 00:18:12,470 --> 00:18:09,280 all lenses that we bring 444 00:18:14,710 --> 00:18:12,480 to a situation um 445 00:18:15,990 --> 00:18:14,720 and we tend not to see our lenses 446 00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:16,000 because we're always looking through 447 00:18:19,029 --> 00:18:16,640 them 448 00:18:20,470 --> 00:18:19,039 it to us it's just this is reality this 449 00:18:23,750 --> 00:18:20,480 is how it is 450 00:18:26,070 --> 00:18:23,760 um and and 451 00:18:27,430 --> 00:18:26,080 so one of the one of the big lenses i i 452 00:18:29,510 --> 00:18:27,440 think the major lens 453 00:18:30,470 --> 00:18:29,520 in the sort of western scientific view 454 00:18:33,270 --> 00:18:30,480 of the world 455 00:18:35,750 --> 00:18:33,280 is is what i call division vision which 456 00:18:38,789 --> 00:18:35,760 which loves to divide things 457 00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:38,799 so we see that of course in our politics 458 00:18:42,870 --> 00:18:40,880 we see that right now in our politics we 459 00:18:44,950 --> 00:18:42,880 see that with race you know ra race is 460 00:18:48,150 --> 00:18:44,960 really there's no such thing as 461 00:18:50,870 --> 00:18:48,160 pure any race we're all mixed um 462 00:18:51,990 --> 00:18:50,880 quantum physics has recently shown that 463 00:18:53,750 --> 00:18:52,000 every particle 464 00:18:56,549 --> 00:18:53,760 in the universe is actually a wave 465 00:19:00,950 --> 00:18:56,559 spread out across the whole universe 466 00:19:01,830 --> 00:19:00,960 so this things really aren't as divided 467 00:19:04,070 --> 00:19:01,840 as we 468 00:19:05,909 --> 00:19:04,080 like to think they are i mean i'm i 469 00:19:08,390 --> 00:19:05,919 don't have the same body i had 470 00:19:10,710 --> 00:19:08,400 seven years ago i'm i'm constantly 471 00:19:12,789 --> 00:19:10,720 exchanging particles with 472 00:19:14,070 --> 00:19:12,799 the environment um i don't know where my 473 00:19:17,350 --> 00:19:14,080 consciousness ends 474 00:19:19,270 --> 00:19:17,360 there's there's no border to we make all 475 00:19:20,870 --> 00:19:19,280 these assumptions about you know here's 476 00:19:21,830 --> 00:19:20,880 this thing here's this thing here's this 477 00:19:24,310 --> 00:19:21,840 thing 478 00:19:25,110 --> 00:19:24,320 but just a little bit of poking reveals 479 00:19:27,350 --> 00:19:25,120 that 480 00:19:28,950 --> 00:19:27,360 these these borders can be be very 481 00:19:33,590 --> 00:19:28,960 helpful 482 00:19:35,990 --> 00:19:33,600 but they're they're inadequate 483 00:19:39,270 --> 00:19:36,000 for looking at things for instance like 484 00:19:41,590 --> 00:19:39,280 a ufo um 485 00:19:43,510 --> 00:19:41,600 one of the huge one of the huge things 486 00:19:45,990 --> 00:19:43,520 that we divide in our culture is the 487 00:19:47,510 --> 00:19:46,000 subjective and the objective 488 00:19:49,029 --> 00:19:47,520 and you know there may be people 489 00:19:51,270 --> 00:19:49,039 listening right now saying well 490 00:19:53,029 --> 00:19:51,280 of course we do that because that's 491 00:19:57,430 --> 00:19:53,039 they're obviously separate 492 00:19:59,669 --> 00:19:57,440 um but not all cultures have actually um 493 00:20:01,510 --> 00:19:59,679 seen the world that way in fact uh 494 00:20:04,789 --> 00:20:01,520 animistic peoples 495 00:20:06,950 --> 00:20:04,799 which who probably preceded you know all 496 00:20:08,630 --> 00:20:06,960 religions on the planet back say before 497 00:20:10,630 --> 00:20:08,640 the ancient greeks 498 00:20:12,630 --> 00:20:10,640 did not divide the world between the 499 00:20:13,430 --> 00:20:12,640 subjective experience and the objective 500 00:20:15,669 --> 00:20:13,440 experience 501 00:20:17,430 --> 00:20:15,679 um there's even some cultures today the 502 00:20:18,789 --> 00:20:17,440 uh the yukakars 503 00:20:20,950 --> 00:20:18,799 the i don't know how you pronounce it 504 00:20:23,510 --> 00:20:20,960 they're in siberia 505 00:20:24,710 --> 00:20:23,520 they don't have a word for nature as 506 00:20:27,350 --> 00:20:24,720 opposed to 507 00:20:29,270 --> 00:20:27,360 culture nature or us them they're just 508 00:20:33,110 --> 00:20:29,280 part of it 509 00:20:33,990 --> 00:20:33,120 um so i i think subjective objective is 510 00:20:37,190 --> 00:20:34,000 a is something 511 00:20:38,549 --> 00:20:37,200 that that ufos it's a distinction that 512 00:20:42,390 --> 00:20:38,559 ufos and other 513 00:20:45,430 --> 00:20:42,400 phenomena like this are are challenging 514 00:20:47,510 --> 00:20:45,440 um and it shouldn't be that surprising 515 00:20:50,630 --> 00:20:47,520 because quantum physics again 516 00:20:51,270 --> 00:20:50,640 has shown that the observer affects the 517 00:20:54,390 --> 00:20:51,280 observed 518 00:20:57,430 --> 00:20:54,400 right we things are waves until we look 519 00:20:59,510 --> 00:20:57,440 at them and then they become particles 520 00:21:01,830 --> 00:20:59,520 so it's not even scientifically that 521 00:21:03,590 --> 00:21:01,840 far-fetched a notion that there is this 522 00:21:07,110 --> 00:21:03,600 interplay between the subjective 523 00:21:10,310 --> 00:21:09,510 yeah yeah i agree and you know quantum 524 00:21:12,870 --> 00:21:10,320 physics is 525 00:21:13,830 --> 00:21:12,880 just baffling i i look into that quite a 526 00:21:17,190 --> 00:21:13,840 bit just 527 00:21:19,590 --> 00:21:17,200 you know just watching documentaries and 528 00:21:20,390 --> 00:21:19,600 things like that but it really is so 529 00:21:24,070 --> 00:21:20,400 bizarre 530 00:21:24,470 --> 00:21:24,080 and and it it it doesn't you know things 531 00:21:27,350 --> 00:21:24,480 just 532 00:21:28,310 --> 00:21:27,360 seem like they can't be real for 533 00:21:30,470 --> 00:21:28,320 instance 534 00:21:31,990 --> 00:21:30,480 you know if you take all the space out 535 00:21:35,029 --> 00:21:32,000 of an atom for one thing 536 00:21:38,549 --> 00:21:35,039 uh i mean uh how small 537 00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:38,559 a person would be uh yeah you know like 538 00:21:42,870 --> 00:21:40,720 on the fit on the tip of a pin 539 00:21:45,909 --> 00:21:42,880 you know that that type of thing and 540 00:21:48,950 --> 00:21:45,919 it's crazy and then that also goes 541 00:21:50,950 --> 00:21:48,960 um with black holes and how they are 542 00:21:52,230 --> 00:21:50,960 they can just compact all the way down 543 00:21:55,029 --> 00:21:52,240 into 544 00:21:55,750 --> 00:21:55,039 you know almost to nothing which is just 545 00:21:57,430 --> 00:21:55,760 amazing 546 00:21:58,789 --> 00:21:57,440 you know the whole thing there's so many 547 00:22:01,669 --> 00:21:58,799 concepts we can't 548 00:22:03,110 --> 00:22:01,679 really understand when it comes to 549 00:22:05,669 --> 00:22:03,120 what's around us 550 00:22:06,950 --> 00:22:05,679 and there's there's a noted uh ufo 551 00:22:08,390 --> 00:22:06,960 researcher 552 00:22:10,149 --> 00:22:08,400 jacques valet i don't know if you've 553 00:22:11,270 --> 00:22:10,159 heard of him i don't know how much 554 00:22:15,350 --> 00:22:11,280 you've looked into 555 00:22:18,230 --> 00:22:15,360 you know you have um and he 556 00:22:19,510 --> 00:22:18,240 you know hit his uh one of the things 557 00:22:22,630 --> 00:22:19,520 that he says is 558 00:22:23,510 --> 00:22:22,640 you know maybe what ufos are and what 559 00:22:25,990 --> 00:22:23,520 we're seeing 560 00:22:27,669 --> 00:22:26,000 is we have no idea to even how to 561 00:22:28,470 --> 00:22:27,679 describe what it is or something like 562 00:22:30,070 --> 00:22:28,480 that 563 00:22:32,149 --> 00:22:30,080 it's really you know kind of almost 564 00:22:35,350 --> 00:22:32,159 along those lines 565 00:22:39,909 --> 00:22:35,360 right pretty interesting yes 566 00:22:41,750 --> 00:22:39,919 it it it i think it really challenges 567 00:22:42,870 --> 00:22:41,760 the way we look at the world in very 568 00:22:45,830 --> 00:22:42,880 fundamental ways 569 00:22:47,510 --> 00:22:45,840 it's not it's it's not a it's not a 570 00:22:48,310 --> 00:22:47,520 phenomenon that we can make sense of 571 00:22:52,230 --> 00:22:48,320 without 572 00:22:54,149 --> 00:22:52,240 basic assumptions 573 00:22:55,590 --> 00:22:54,159 underneath those and one of those 574 00:22:56,870 --> 00:22:55,600 assumptions you know being the 575 00:23:00,549 --> 00:22:56,880 subjective 576 00:23:02,789 --> 00:23:00,559 objective um 577 00:23:03,669 --> 00:23:02,799 uh another great book uh i want to give 578 00:23:06,710 --> 00:23:03,679 a shout out 579 00:23:07,510 --> 00:23:06,720 to is um uh by a guy named patrick 580 00:23:10,310 --> 00:23:07,520 harper 581 00:23:11,110 --> 00:23:10,320 he's an english writer he has a book 582 00:23:14,630 --> 00:23:11,120 called 583 00:23:15,669 --> 00:23:14,640 demonic reality which is a really great 584 00:23:18,710 --> 00:23:15,679 read 585 00:23:20,230 --> 00:23:18,720 that that kind of puts these ufo type 586 00:23:23,270 --> 00:23:20,240 phenomena 587 00:23:26,710 --> 00:23:23,280 into a historical perspective 588 00:23:28,789 --> 00:23:26,720 so i i recommend that book of course 589 00:23:30,789 --> 00:23:28,799 you should get mine first but then then 590 00:23:32,630 --> 00:23:30,799 his 591 00:23:34,470 --> 00:23:32,640 you have to get yours first because it 592 00:23:36,230 --> 00:23:34,480 you know that 593 00:23:39,190 --> 00:23:36,240 it just makes sense that way right 594 00:23:41,830 --> 00:23:39,200 that's right yeah 595 00:23:42,230 --> 00:23:41,840 interesting yeah the historical aspect 596 00:23:48,390 --> 00:23:42,240 of 597 00:23:49,909 --> 00:23:48,400 as well you know i mean 598 00:23:51,430 --> 00:23:49,919 some of the cave paintings are pretty 599 00:23:53,029 --> 00:23:51,440 weird you know and 600 00:23:55,430 --> 00:23:53,039 i've i've never really been all that 601 00:23:57,350 --> 00:23:55,440 into like the ancient alien type thing 602 00:23:59,269 --> 00:23:57,360 but there are there are some things that 603 00:24:02,230 --> 00:23:59,279 really are puzzling 604 00:24:03,510 --> 00:24:02,240 and you know just just the fact that say 605 00:24:05,430 --> 00:24:03,520 if we are being 606 00:24:07,029 --> 00:24:05,440 let's just throw it out there that we 607 00:24:08,630 --> 00:24:07,039 maybe we are being visited by 608 00:24:10,390 --> 00:24:08,640 extraterrestrial 609 00:24:12,710 --> 00:24:10,400 well it doesn't have to be just in our 610 00:24:15,830 --> 00:24:12,720 contemporary time i mean 611 00:24:16,149 --> 00:24:15,840 if uh you know intelligence has existed 612 00:24:18,630 --> 00:24:16,159 for 613 00:24:20,549 --> 00:24:18,640 billions of years or whatever out there 614 00:24:21,909 --> 00:24:20,559 um you know we could have been 615 00:24:24,470 --> 00:24:21,919 visited from the very beginning it 616 00:24:27,990 --> 00:24:24,480 doesn't really matter you know right 617 00:24:28,470 --> 00:24:28,000 right so and and really basically if you 618 00:24:30,310 --> 00:24:28,480 think about 619 00:24:32,630 --> 00:24:30,320 the time where humans have been on this 620 00:24:35,190 --> 00:24:32,640 earth is very short time 621 00:24:36,870 --> 00:24:35,200 you know it's a very uh when you compare 622 00:24:37,909 --> 00:24:36,880 it to the length of the earth has been 623 00:24:41,830 --> 00:24:37,919 here it's 624 00:24:43,669 --> 00:24:41,840 way down to uh not you know 625 00:24:45,590 --> 00:24:43,679 there's a guy named mark d antonio he's 626 00:24:49,029 --> 00:24:45,600 a friend and he does this 627 00:24:51,269 --> 00:24:49,039 exhibition at a conference will take 628 00:24:53,269 --> 00:24:51,279 a roll of toilet paper something like 629 00:24:54,149 --> 00:24:53,279 300 feet i can't remember exactly what 630 00:24:56,070 --> 00:24:54,159 it is 631 00:24:58,070 --> 00:24:56,080 and he goes around the toilet paper and 632 00:24:59,750 --> 00:24:58,080 he says okay 633 00:25:01,190 --> 00:24:59,760 he has people holding it up in a room 634 00:25:02,470 --> 00:25:01,200 it's really funny it's all it's all 635 00:25:03,830 --> 00:25:02,480 taped together so the toilet paper 636 00:25:06,070 --> 00:25:03,840 doesn't fall apart 637 00:25:08,549 --> 00:25:06,080 but he'll walk around and he'll say okay 638 00:25:10,470 --> 00:25:08,559 this is where first life began 639 00:25:12,710 --> 00:25:10,480 and what the toilet paper represents is 640 00:25:14,549 --> 00:25:12,720 the earth the lifetime of the earth 641 00:25:15,909 --> 00:25:14,559 and then he says okay this is where the 642 00:25:18,310 --> 00:25:15,919 first uh 643 00:25:19,269 --> 00:25:18,320 um fish walked out of the sea or 644 00:25:21,430 --> 00:25:19,279 whatever it is 645 00:25:23,190 --> 00:25:21,440 and then he goes uh this is where the 646 00:25:25,110 --> 00:25:23,200 dinosaurs were 647 00:25:26,549 --> 00:25:25,120 and then when it comes to humans we're 648 00:25:28,149 --> 00:25:26,559 right at the very end 649 00:25:30,070 --> 00:25:28,159 of that roll of toilet paper a very 650 00:25:31,750 --> 00:25:30,080 little tiny tiny bit 651 00:25:33,750 --> 00:25:31,760 so that's all we've been here for a very 652 00:25:36,950 --> 00:25:33,760 short time when it when it's in 653 00:25:39,029 --> 00:25:36,960 the nation and i love that illustration 654 00:25:40,230 --> 00:25:39,039 because it's so hard to wrap your brain 655 00:25:43,029 --> 00:25:40,240 around 656 00:25:43,510 --> 00:25:43,039 time or anything anything i've i've 657 00:25:45,350 --> 00:25:43,520 heard it 658 00:25:47,990 --> 00:25:45,360 well said that it's hard for the average 659 00:25:50,230 --> 00:25:48,000 person to understand anything over the 660 00:25:52,149 --> 00:25:50,240 figure of ten thousand 661 00:25:53,990 --> 00:25:52,159 you know anything over that it's hard to 662 00:25:57,510 --> 00:25:54,000 wrap your brain around how how many 663 00:26:01,590 --> 00:25:57,520 people that is how many anything that is 664 00:26:04,549 --> 00:26:01,600 yeah yeah there's there's a lot 665 00:26:05,830 --> 00:26:04,559 that's hard to wrap your brain around uh 666 00:26:06,710 --> 00:26:05,840 you know going back to what you were 667 00:26:09,110 --> 00:26:06,720 saying about 668 00:26:11,590 --> 00:26:09,120 um quantum physics and the sort of the 669 00:26:14,630 --> 00:26:11,600 weird or just modern physics in general 670 00:26:16,070 --> 00:26:14,640 and the weirdness that's there um 671 00:26:18,390 --> 00:26:16,080 that's kind of another interesting 672 00:26:21,190 --> 00:26:18,400 paradox to me is that 673 00:26:22,310 --> 00:26:21,200 so you've got these of course weird 674 00:26:26,149 --> 00:26:22,320 phenomenon like 675 00:26:29,510 --> 00:26:26,159 ufos or various other paranormal events 676 00:26:31,830 --> 00:26:29,520 but which which many scientists 677 00:26:33,029 --> 00:26:31,840 uh pooh-pooh or don't don't even kind of 678 00:26:34,470 --> 00:26:33,039 look into 679 00:26:37,190 --> 00:26:34,480 not that they need to you know they've 680 00:26:41,029 --> 00:26:37,200 got their own lives and stuff to do 681 00:26:43,110 --> 00:26:41,039 um and yet they can talk with straight 682 00:26:44,470 --> 00:26:43,120 faces about you know the stuff that you 683 00:26:47,669 --> 00:26:44,480 mentioned where you know 684 00:26:48,070 --> 00:26:47,679 there's there's the whole universe they 685 00:26:50,630 --> 00:26:48,080 think 686 00:26:52,390 --> 00:26:50,640 was condensed to smaller than a speck of 687 00:26:54,630 --> 00:26:52,400 sand at the big bang i mean that's 688 00:26:56,630 --> 00:26:54,640 right that's crazier than anything i've 689 00:26:59,990 --> 00:26:56,640 heard anywhere 690 00:27:01,750 --> 00:27:00,000 right and the idea that every electron 691 00:27:03,990 --> 00:27:01,760 in the universe 692 00:27:05,590 --> 00:27:04,000 is a is a wave spread out across the 693 00:27:08,710 --> 00:27:05,600 universe 694 00:27:11,510 --> 00:27:08,720 uh i mean this is the most absurd thing 695 00:27:13,830 --> 00:27:11,520 i've ever heard from anyone 696 00:27:15,029 --> 00:27:13,840 and so there are certain types of this 697 00:27:17,590 --> 00:27:15,039 absurdity 698 00:27:18,070 --> 00:27:17,600 that the general public doesn't i don't 699 00:27:20,630 --> 00:27:18,080 think 700 00:27:21,269 --> 00:27:20,640 mostly even knows about that scientists 701 00:27:24,710 --> 00:27:21,279 accept 702 00:27:27,990 --> 00:27:24,720 because well it's it's a certain type of 703 00:27:31,590 --> 00:27:28,000 absurdity right i've asked i had uh 704 00:27:34,470 --> 00:27:31,600 avi loeb on one of the he's a harvard 705 00:27:35,909 --> 00:27:34,480 astronomer um he's probably the last one 706 00:27:37,830 --> 00:27:35,919 i asked this question to 707 00:27:40,310 --> 00:27:37,840 and i think i even mentioned this last 708 00:27:42,230 --> 00:27:40,320 week so pardon me for repeating myself 709 00:27:44,230 --> 00:27:42,240 but i've asked every astronomer that's 710 00:27:47,029 --> 00:27:44,240 been on this show 711 00:27:48,630 --> 00:27:47,039 could the big bang be wrong that's the 712 00:27:51,110 --> 00:27:48,640 question i posed to them 713 00:27:52,870 --> 00:27:51,120 and so far every single one of them says 714 00:27:53,590 --> 00:27:52,880 about the same thing well we have so 715 00:27:56,070 --> 00:27:53,600 much 716 00:27:56,789 --> 00:27:56,080 evidence of it you know all the evidence 717 00:27:58,470 --> 00:27:56,799 points to 718 00:28:00,310 --> 00:27:58,480 that it really that's how it happened 719 00:28:03,510 --> 00:28:00,320 and then the next question i asked them 720 00:28:06,789 --> 00:28:03,520 well what was before then you know what 721 00:28:09,269 --> 00:28:06,799 what was there before then and 722 00:28:11,110 --> 00:28:09,279 and you usually hear the thing about 723 00:28:11,990 --> 00:28:11,120 well that's where time began or whatever 724 00:28:14,389 --> 00:28:12,000 but 725 00:28:15,269 --> 00:28:14,399 right i don't know such a such a hard 726 00:28:17,669 --> 00:28:15,279 concept 727 00:28:18,470 --> 00:28:17,679 but um i really like the thing you said 728 00:28:19,830 --> 00:28:18,480 i'd like to touch 729 00:28:22,870 --> 00:28:19,840 i'd like for you to touch on a little 730 00:28:24,950 --> 00:28:22,880 bit more and that is the filter 731 00:28:25,909 --> 00:28:24,960 the filter that we all look through it's 732 00:28:29,269 --> 00:28:25,919 it's kind of like 733 00:28:32,549 --> 00:28:29,279 the bias and i think you know i think 734 00:28:34,389 --> 00:28:32,559 science has a bias against the ufos 735 00:28:35,830 --> 00:28:34,399 you know it's pretty obvious it's still 736 00:28:38,389 --> 00:28:35,840 the ridicule factor and 737 00:28:40,630 --> 00:28:38,399 and and i think you know right on the 738 00:28:44,070 --> 00:28:40,640 right at the very start 739 00:28:45,269 --> 00:28:44,080 um it's hard to get anyone to fund any 740 00:28:47,110 --> 00:28:45,279 research 741 00:28:49,029 --> 00:28:47,120 or everything or anything like that 742 00:28:51,590 --> 00:28:49,039 because of the 743 00:28:52,870 --> 00:28:51,600 you know the looney tunes factor in this 744 00:28:56,630 --> 00:28:52,880 whole thing 745 00:28:59,029 --> 00:28:56,640 right yeah um 746 00:29:00,310 --> 00:28:59,039 so for sure one of the filters is just 747 00:29:02,470 --> 00:29:00,320 straight up ridicule 748 00:29:03,350 --> 00:29:02,480 you know straight up you you don't want 749 00:29:05,909 --> 00:29:03,360 to be that 750 00:29:07,190 --> 00:29:05,919 scientist walking down the hall of your 751 00:29:10,389 --> 00:29:07,200 physics department 752 00:29:10,950 --> 00:29:10,399 that's that's interested in ufos i mean 753 00:29:14,710 --> 00:29:10,960 you get 754 00:29:17,110 --> 00:29:14,720 i you know about john mack oh yeah 755 00:29:18,630 --> 00:29:17,120 yeah so i don't know that much about him 756 00:29:21,269 --> 00:29:18,640 but i heard that 757 00:29:21,909 --> 00:29:21,279 you know he just for showing an interest 758 00:29:27,029 --> 00:29:21,919 in the 759 00:29:28,710 --> 00:29:27,039 um you know he went down there and i 760 00:29:31,909 --> 00:29:28,720 think he wrote a book about it 761 00:29:32,149 --> 00:29:31,919 hit harvard you know investigated him 762 00:29:35,830 --> 00:29:32,159 and 763 00:29:39,990 --> 00:29:35,840 questioned his ability to be a professor 764 00:29:42,870 --> 00:29:40,000 right know more about than i do but um 765 00:29:43,510 --> 00:29:42,880 you know uh sociologist james mclennan 766 00:29:46,710 --> 00:29:43,520 you have 767 00:29:48,070 --> 00:29:46,720 you know james mclennan i i can't think 768 00:29:50,549 --> 00:29:48,080 of who that is but 769 00:29:51,590 --> 00:29:50,559 go ahead okay um he wrote a book called 770 00:29:53,830 --> 00:29:51,600 wondrous events 771 00:29:55,430 --> 00:29:53,840 he was a sociologist and uh interested 772 00:29:58,630 --> 00:29:55,440 in this area and 773 00:30:00,549 --> 00:29:58,640 um you know sent out some questionnaires 774 00:30:02,789 --> 00:30:00,559 to some scientists and 775 00:30:04,070 --> 00:30:02,799 some wrote back just urging that he'd be 776 00:30:07,190 --> 00:30:04,080 kicked out of grad school 777 00:30:08,870 --> 00:30:07,200 just for just for taking a survey about 778 00:30:11,269 --> 00:30:08,880 experiences in this you know our 779 00:30:15,029 --> 00:30:11,279 attitudes in this area 780 00:30:17,269 --> 00:30:15,039 so um scientists are not you know any 781 00:30:20,070 --> 00:30:17,279 more emotionally mature than anyone else 782 00:30:21,350 --> 00:30:20,080 um they they've got these predic you 783 00:30:22,470 --> 00:30:21,360 know it's almost like a middle school 784 00:30:27,110 --> 00:30:22,480 playground you know 785 00:30:32,630 --> 00:30:30,230 so there's that filter just pure social 786 00:30:33,269 --> 00:30:32,640 social um stigma or whatever you want to 787 00:30:36,470 --> 00:30:33,279 call it 788 00:30:38,630 --> 00:30:36,480 um and then there's the filter that i 789 00:30:41,669 --> 00:30:38,640 that i mentioned before which is about 790 00:30:44,389 --> 00:30:41,679 consistency and predictability so 791 00:30:46,230 --> 00:30:44,399 what's consistent for a scientist what's 792 00:30:48,789 --> 00:30:46,240 consistent is what's real 793 00:30:53,350 --> 00:30:48,799 right it's all about can we repeat this 794 00:31:00,470 --> 00:30:57,430 and we all know that ufos and all these 795 00:31:04,630 --> 00:31:00,480 phenomena are not consistent 796 00:31:06,630 --> 00:31:04,640 we can't we can't predict them so 797 00:31:08,230 --> 00:31:06,640 so to a scientist by definition that's 798 00:31:09,190 --> 00:31:08,240 sort of not real it's kind of like a 799 00:31:12,870 --> 00:31:09,200 dream you know you 800 00:31:14,630 --> 00:31:12,880 you your dreams aren't real um 801 00:31:16,070 --> 00:31:14,640 ufos aren't real because they're not 802 00:31:17,509 --> 00:31:16,080 consistent we 803 00:31:19,350 --> 00:31:17,519 we can't come up with a law or an 804 00:31:21,110 --> 00:31:19,360 equation 805 00:31:23,269 --> 00:31:21,120 but you can't you can't just say well 806 00:31:25,350 --> 00:31:23,279 reality is whatever is consistent 807 00:31:27,430 --> 00:31:25,360 we you know i call it reality is what 808 00:31:32,630 --> 00:31:27,440 can what's consistent 809 00:31:35,909 --> 00:31:32,640 um reality may not be consistent 810 00:31:38,630 --> 00:31:35,919 um i don't i don't think that 811 00:31:40,470 --> 00:31:38,640 it's an impossible dream that scientists 812 00:31:43,669 --> 00:31:40,480 could make progress 813 00:31:44,149 --> 00:31:43,679 um in in this but i don't think they're 814 00:31:48,710 --> 00:31:44,159 really 815 00:31:51,669 --> 00:31:48,720 close to being able to right now i think 816 00:31:52,389 --> 00:31:51,679 i think their energies are better spent 817 00:31:53,750 --> 00:31:52,399 on 818 00:31:57,029 --> 00:31:53,760 things that will end up being a little 819 00:32:01,509 --> 00:31:57,039 more practical um 820 00:32:04,870 --> 00:32:01,519 because it's it's a big confusing 821 00:32:07,909 --> 00:32:04,880 and um it's just a big 822 00:32:12,789 --> 00:32:07,919 confusing topic it's like a jungle that 823 00:32:16,389 --> 00:32:14,310 so i don't know if that answered your 824 00:32:19,909 --> 00:32:16,399 question 825 00:32:22,710 --> 00:32:19,919 yeah but but also um 826 00:32:23,590 --> 00:32:22,720 the filter is and i think you know we 827 00:32:26,630 --> 00:32:23,600 brought this up 828 00:32:29,430 --> 00:32:26,640 off air or or i did i i mentioned 829 00:32:32,549 --> 00:32:29,440 to you that i thought that as long as 830 00:32:36,070 --> 00:32:32,559 humans have been around 831 00:32:38,549 --> 00:32:36,080 the contemporary times that they're in 832 00:32:39,669 --> 00:32:38,559 they think they know everything you know 833 00:32:41,750 --> 00:32:39,679 whether it was 834 00:32:43,509 --> 00:32:41,760 the romans or you know and they were a 835 00:32:45,029 --> 00:32:43,519 lot smarter than 836 00:32:46,870 --> 00:32:45,039 you know we give them credit for it but 837 00:32:49,350 --> 00:32:46,880 whatever in that era 838 00:32:50,630 --> 00:32:49,360 but we always think we know everything 839 00:32:53,190 --> 00:32:50,640 there is to know 840 00:32:55,430 --> 00:32:53,200 it's the most bizarre thing so i don't i 841 00:32:57,669 --> 00:32:55,440 don't really know 842 00:32:59,110 --> 00:32:57,679 you know what what will ever change when 843 00:32:59,830 --> 00:32:59,120 it when it comes to that and you know a 844 00:33:03,909 --> 00:32:59,840 lot of that is 845 00:33:06,870 --> 00:33:03,919 ego based uh a lot of it is fear-based 846 00:33:08,870 --> 00:33:06,880 because i should know you know yes that 847 00:33:11,590 --> 00:33:08,880 type of thing 848 00:33:12,870 --> 00:33:11,600 i i agree with you completely it it 849 00:33:15,909 --> 00:33:12,880 blows my mind 850 00:33:19,110 --> 00:33:15,919 that that a scientist today can 851 00:33:21,750 --> 00:33:19,120 can talk with any sort of you know 852 00:33:23,110 --> 00:33:21,760 idea of authority about about ultimate 853 00:33:26,549 --> 00:33:23,120 reality or god based 854 00:33:29,669 --> 00:33:26,559 based exactly on what you're saying um 855 00:33:32,310 --> 00:33:29,679 you know at the end of the 1800s 856 00:33:34,149 --> 00:33:32,320 right before einstein the sort of 857 00:33:35,509 --> 00:33:34,159 general scientific consensus was 858 00:33:37,990 --> 00:33:35,519 you know we have the world pretty well 859 00:33:39,990 --> 00:33:38,000 figured out um you know we've got 860 00:33:41,669 --> 00:33:40,000 we've got newton's laws we've got we've 861 00:33:43,350 --> 00:33:41,679 got electricity 862 00:33:45,590 --> 00:33:43,360 everything's kind of this machine and we 863 00:33:48,630 --> 00:33:45,600 can explain all the motion and 864 00:33:50,310 --> 00:33:48,640 and then you know within 10 years you 865 00:33:51,909 --> 00:33:50,320 have einstein and the birth of quantum 866 00:33:53,990 --> 00:33:51,919 physics and the whole thing was just 867 00:33:56,789 --> 00:33:54,000 blown wide open 868 00:33:58,710 --> 00:33:56,799 and then so we know that you can have 869 00:34:01,990 --> 00:33:58,720 these explosions of utter 870 00:34:04,310 --> 00:34:02,000 bizarreness blowing things open and yet 871 00:34:05,190 --> 00:34:04,320 some people are sort of clinging to this 872 00:34:07,190 --> 00:34:05,200 idea that 873 00:34:09,589 --> 00:34:07,200 okay yeah but now we know now we're 874 00:34:12,629 --> 00:34:09,599 pretty close to knowing everything 875 00:34:14,869 --> 00:34:12,639 yeah so yeah i'm not buying it 876 00:34:17,430 --> 00:34:14,879 i'm not either and that's also another 877 00:34:20,470 --> 00:34:17,440 another thing that comes up a lot when 878 00:34:23,430 --> 00:34:20,480 um the skeptics of the ufo or the x 879 00:34:25,190 --> 00:34:23,440 being uh the possibility of us being 880 00:34:26,550 --> 00:34:25,200 visited by extraterrestrial is 881 00:34:29,109 --> 00:34:26,560 impossible because 882 00:34:30,710 --> 00:34:29,119 they're too far away well yes they're 883 00:34:33,829 --> 00:34:30,720 that the distances are just 884 00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:33,839 mind-blowing for sure right but but i 885 00:34:37,669 --> 00:34:35,280 also think that 886 00:34:39,270 --> 00:34:37,679 well an intelligence has been around for 887 00:34:40,710 --> 00:34:39,280 a very long time 888 00:34:42,470 --> 00:34:40,720 then they discovered something in 889 00:34:45,270 --> 00:34:42,480 physics that we're not aware of 890 00:34:47,030 --> 00:34:45,280 you know that's that's basically uh i 891 00:34:50,310 --> 00:34:47,040 mean that's a possibility 892 00:34:51,510 --> 00:34:50,320 there's some way to travel that we just 893 00:34:53,190 --> 00:34:51,520 have not 894 00:34:55,589 --> 00:34:53,200 thought of yet and maybe has nothing to 895 00:34:56,629 --> 00:34:55,599 do with the speed of light and nothing 896 00:35:00,630 --> 00:34:56,639 to do with any of that 897 00:35:03,109 --> 00:35:00,640 maybe it's something else totally right 898 00:35:05,349 --> 00:35:03,119 you know maybe we'll figure it out maybe 899 00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:05,359 we won't 900 00:35:09,589 --> 00:35:08,640 yeah someday we we love to know things 901 00:35:14,310 --> 00:35:09,599 we 902 00:35:18,069 --> 00:35:14,320 of being able to say 903 00:35:20,150 --> 00:35:18,079 make grand statements and know things um 904 00:35:22,470 --> 00:35:20,160 and in fact that's sort of another 905 00:35:24,950 --> 00:35:22,480 difference between our culture and some 906 00:35:25,990 --> 00:35:24,960 some of the animistic cultures you read 907 00:35:33,510 --> 00:35:26,000 about where 908 00:35:37,109 --> 00:35:35,190 she mentioned this concept called 909 00:35:39,910 --> 00:35:37,119 percept ambiguity which 910 00:35:42,069 --> 00:35:39,920 basically it's just sort of um there's a 911 00:35:43,270 --> 00:35:42,079 greater comfort with mystery a greater 912 00:35:46,069 --> 00:35:43,280 comfort with 913 00:35:47,990 --> 00:35:46,079 you know okay this is going on we don't 914 00:35:51,589 --> 00:35:48,000 have to explain it or 915 00:35:54,230 --> 00:35:51,599 you know um but uh 916 00:35:54,630 --> 00:35:54,240 i think we could benefit a lot by that 917 00:35:59,109 --> 00:35:54,640 uh 918 00:36:02,230 --> 00:35:59,119 by being able to say i don't know 919 00:36:05,030 --> 00:36:02,240 yeah i mean uh you know 920 00:36:05,510 --> 00:36:05,040 the questions asking the right question 921 00:36:09,190 --> 00:36:05,520 that 922 00:36:10,790 --> 00:36:09,200 topic you 923 00:36:12,310 --> 00:36:10,800 you know i mean that that's kind of like 924 00:36:14,390 --> 00:36:12,320 one of the most difficult things to 925 00:36:17,589 --> 00:36:14,400 figure out isn't it wouldn't you say 926 00:36:18,390 --> 00:36:17,599 is what to know for a question yeah 927 00:36:19,910 --> 00:36:18,400 absolutely 928 00:36:21,589 --> 00:36:19,920 because there are there are a million 929 00:36:23,510 --> 00:36:21,599 questions you can ask so 930 00:36:25,589 --> 00:36:23,520 which one you pick it's almost like 931 00:36:28,310 --> 00:36:25,599 you've already decided the answer 932 00:36:30,150 --> 00:36:28,320 uh in some ways it can be that way right 933 00:36:32,310 --> 00:36:30,160 you you pick a question where 934 00:36:33,670 --> 00:36:32,320 you know the answer is gonna lead you in 935 00:36:35,750 --> 00:36:33,680 a certain way so 936 00:36:37,910 --> 00:36:35,760 a question is like an assumption or or 937 00:36:40,150 --> 00:36:37,920 you could even say it's like a lens 938 00:36:42,470 --> 00:36:40,160 um it's questions are not just sort of 939 00:36:45,190 --> 00:36:42,480 neutral things that you 940 00:36:47,109 --> 00:36:45,200 you bring to to a situation right the 941 00:36:50,310 --> 00:36:47,119 question matters yeah 942 00:36:53,510 --> 00:36:50,320 yeah yeah okay well interesting so 943 00:36:55,270 --> 00:36:53,520 um so you have obviously you've looked 944 00:36:58,390 --> 00:36:55,280 into the ufo 945 00:36:59,829 --> 00:36:58,400 subject a bit and and what are your what 946 00:37:01,510 --> 00:36:59,839 is your thoughts overall do you think 947 00:37:02,069 --> 00:37:01,520 there's really something to it are you 948 00:37:04,230 --> 00:37:02,079 still 949 00:37:07,670 --> 00:37:04,240 a big question mark or how do you feel 950 00:37:11,430 --> 00:37:10,550 well so i i absolutely think there's 951 00:37:15,109 --> 00:37:11,440 something to it 952 00:37:17,670 --> 00:37:15,119 i think they're um i don't 953 00:37:19,670 --> 00:37:17,680 i don't know i would say that they are 954 00:37:22,470 --> 00:37:19,680 not necessarily 955 00:37:23,910 --> 00:37:22,480 i would say they're real but not real in 956 00:37:24,310 --> 00:37:23,920 the way that we're used to thinking of 957 00:37:26,870 --> 00:37:24,320 real 958 00:37:28,390 --> 00:37:26,880 i think they challenge even the notion 959 00:37:31,829 --> 00:37:28,400 of reality 960 00:37:34,230 --> 00:37:31,839 um so that 961 00:37:35,510 --> 00:37:34,240 science science needs to look at things 962 00:37:37,589 --> 00:37:35,520 that are 963 00:37:39,430 --> 00:37:37,599 agreed upon by pretty much everyone on 964 00:37:41,109 --> 00:37:39,440 the planet right we can all 965 00:37:42,630 --> 00:37:41,119 we can all put our finger on this 966 00:37:45,430 --> 00:37:42,640 computer screen 967 00:37:46,870 --> 00:37:45,440 um we can all agree it's this long and 968 00:37:48,230 --> 00:37:46,880 this wide 969 00:37:50,790 --> 00:37:48,240 so that that's a certain realm of 970 00:37:52,790 --> 00:37:50,800 reality it's a certain communal 971 00:37:54,310 --> 00:37:52,800 realm of reality that there's a sort of 972 00:37:55,589 --> 00:37:54,320 you could say it's an agreement or 973 00:37:57,190 --> 00:37:55,599 something 974 00:37:58,870 --> 00:37:57,200 but it's it's a realm that we can all 975 00:38:01,510 --> 00:37:58,880 move in together 976 00:38:03,589 --> 00:38:01,520 doesn't mean it's the only realm so i 977 00:38:05,910 --> 00:38:03,599 think there are realms 978 00:38:08,069 --> 00:38:05,920 that are that are more about sort of 979 00:38:10,150 --> 00:38:08,079 crossing some of these borders that we 980 00:38:11,589 --> 00:38:10,160 we put up between the subjective and the 981 00:38:14,790 --> 00:38:11,599 objective 982 00:38:18,230 --> 00:38:14,800 what i can from what i can tell uh 983 00:38:20,790 --> 00:38:18,240 ufo phenomenon are are sort of a mixture 984 00:38:24,870 --> 00:38:20,800 of the subjective and the objective 985 00:38:26,470 --> 00:38:24,880 so you've got you've got um 986 00:38:27,990 --> 00:38:26,480 many many situations where there's 987 00:38:29,829 --> 00:38:28,000 multiple witnesses 988 00:38:31,589 --> 00:38:29,839 i'm sure you're you're more aware than i 989 00:38:34,069 --> 00:38:31,599 am of of those 990 00:38:35,670 --> 00:38:34,079 um so there's the multiple witness 991 00:38:37,109 --> 00:38:35,680 there's there is a certain communal 992 00:38:39,829 --> 00:38:37,119 aspect to that 993 00:38:41,430 --> 00:38:39,839 uh there are there are certain um 994 00:38:43,670 --> 00:38:41,440 lasting 995 00:38:44,950 --> 00:38:43,680 evidence so to speak maybe it's a radar 996 00:38:47,910 --> 00:38:44,960 ping or a 997 00:38:50,310 --> 00:38:47,920 high radiation levels or some footprints 998 00:38:51,670 --> 00:38:50,320 or imprints in the ground 999 00:38:53,750 --> 00:38:51,680 there are there are physical 1000 00:38:57,109 --> 00:38:53,760 manifestations and they are 1001 00:38:59,349 --> 00:38:57,119 um and shared experiences 1002 00:39:01,270 --> 00:38:59,359 but there's a sort of tendency for them 1003 00:39:04,470 --> 00:39:01,280 for the evidence to 1004 00:39:05,670 --> 00:39:04,480 not quite be solid or you know for 1005 00:39:06,470 --> 00:39:05,680 obviously for things to kind of 1006 00:39:08,470 --> 00:39:06,480 disappear 1007 00:39:11,750 --> 00:39:08,480 and how many times have ufos just kind 1008 00:39:14,950 --> 00:39:11,760 of shot off or disappeared 1009 00:39:16,710 --> 00:39:14,960 um you know which is not 1010 00:39:19,670 --> 00:39:16,720 which is not the way sort of normal 1011 00:39:21,670 --> 00:39:19,680 objective things operate 1012 00:39:23,030 --> 00:39:21,680 then you've got then you've got the 1013 00:39:24,950 --> 00:39:23,040 people who 1014 00:39:26,790 --> 00:39:24,960 there's a sort of a dreamlike quality to 1015 00:39:29,910 --> 00:39:26,800 some of the um 1016 00:39:32,790 --> 00:39:29,920 abduction reports uh people 1017 00:39:35,109 --> 00:39:32,800 people report sort of you know there are 1018 00:39:37,990 --> 00:39:35,119 these time lapses there's this 1019 00:39:38,630 --> 00:39:38,000 it's just sort of dream like you know 1020 00:39:40,630 --> 00:39:38,640 and then 1021 00:39:41,990 --> 00:39:40,640 there's certain evidence again that that 1022 00:39:44,870 --> 00:39:42,000 it did happen maybe they feel 1023 00:39:46,870 --> 00:39:44,880 ill or they wind up in some remote spot 1024 00:39:50,790 --> 00:39:46,880 but it can never quite be pinned down 1025 00:39:51,750 --> 00:39:50,800 right so there's they just don't seem 1026 00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:51,760 quite objective 1027 00:39:55,030 --> 00:39:53,280 but they're not they're definitely not 1028 00:39:57,030 --> 00:39:55,040 just subjective 1029 00:39:59,270 --> 00:39:57,040 and i and this is a realm that our 1030 00:40:01,670 --> 00:39:59,280 culture just just does not have 1031 00:40:02,870 --> 00:40:01,680 the vocabulary for or the mindset to 1032 00:40:05,990 --> 00:40:02,880 sort of 1033 00:40:13,670 --> 00:40:06,000 make sense of that realm but it's a 1034 00:40:17,349 --> 00:40:16,790 oh you're muted me yes i muted for a 1035 00:40:19,109 --> 00:40:17,359 second 1036 00:40:21,030 --> 00:40:19,119 um i have to take care of something but 1037 00:40:24,069 --> 00:40:21,040 first of all i just wanted to uh 1038 00:40:26,150 --> 00:40:24,079 the wind is picking up here and uh for 1039 00:40:27,190 --> 00:40:26,160 those of you that can see this this is 1040 00:40:28,870 --> 00:40:27,200 my setup 1041 00:40:31,430 --> 00:40:28,880 and you'll see that umbrella for a sun 1042 00:40:31,829 --> 00:40:31,440 filter and uh that's starting to go wild 1043 00:40:34,069 --> 00:40:31,839 so 1044 00:40:35,910 --> 00:40:34,079 i gotta have bill i gotta take that down 1045 00:40:38,550 --> 00:40:35,920 i gotta have bill take over for me 1046 00:40:40,069 --> 00:40:38,560 for a few minutes hey bill uh i'm here 1047 00:40:41,670 --> 00:40:40,079 doing that i'll take i'll take myself 1048 00:40:44,150 --> 00:40:41,680 out until i get that fixed and i'll be 1049 00:40:45,829 --> 00:40:44,160 okay it's interesting that you were just 1050 00:40:48,550 --> 00:40:45,839 touching on that chris because 1051 00:40:49,190 --> 00:40:48,560 i was thinking there are a lot of people 1052 00:40:51,030 --> 00:40:49,200 that 1053 00:40:52,870 --> 00:40:51,040 make a connection between the 1054 00:40:55,829 --> 00:40:52,880 metaphysical 1055 00:40:56,710 --> 00:40:55,839 um proponent of this and you mentioned 1056 00:41:00,150 --> 00:40:56,720 dreams 1057 00:41:02,470 --> 00:41:00,160 lucid dreaming uh meditation 1058 00:41:03,190 --> 00:41:02,480 um connection through some type of a 1059 00:41:06,470 --> 00:41:03,200 medical 1060 00:41:08,950 --> 00:41:06,480 i mean a metaphysical connection with 1061 00:41:10,870 --> 00:41:08,960 some type of spiritual guide or divine 1062 00:41:14,470 --> 00:41:10,880 being 1063 00:41:15,910 --> 00:41:14,480 is there any basis of science 1064 00:41:18,230 --> 00:41:15,920 because a lot of people try to you know 1065 00:41:20,230 --> 00:41:18,240 put credibility to that and 1066 00:41:22,630 --> 00:41:20,240 is there anything that we can use as 1067 00:41:25,910 --> 00:41:22,640 from a scientific perspective to 1068 00:41:30,309 --> 00:41:25,920 pursue that kind of um 1069 00:41:32,230 --> 00:41:30,319 theory i to my mind no i don't 1070 00:41:34,630 --> 00:41:32,240 i don't see science right now being 1071 00:41:36,710 --> 00:41:34,640 helpful with that i think science 1072 00:41:37,829 --> 00:41:36,720 right now just doesn't want to look at 1073 00:41:39,910 --> 00:41:37,839 that realm 1074 00:41:41,030 --> 00:41:39,920 is not it's not really equipped to look 1075 00:41:44,630 --> 00:41:41,040 at that realm again i 1076 00:41:46,710 --> 00:41:44,640 i don't i don't say science is 1077 00:41:48,470 --> 00:41:46,720 you know i'm repeating myself but i 1078 00:41:49,829 --> 00:41:48,480 don't say science is wrong or bad or 1079 00:41:51,670 --> 00:41:49,839 anything like that i just 1080 00:41:53,270 --> 00:41:51,680 i just say that science is equipped to 1081 00:41:55,670 --> 00:41:53,280 do certain things 1082 00:41:57,750 --> 00:41:55,680 um and they i don't think they're 1083 00:41:59,910 --> 00:41:57,760 equipped to investigate what you're 1084 00:42:01,109 --> 00:41:59,920 what you're talking about but i mean 1085 00:42:04,230 --> 00:42:01,119 it's also based on 1086 00:42:07,030 --> 00:42:04,240 frequency vibration um there's the 1087 00:42:11,190 --> 00:42:07,040 quantum physics perspective on this 1088 00:42:14,230 --> 00:42:11,200 um i just find yeah 1089 00:42:15,990 --> 00:42:14,240 i see yeah i i do think i do think 1090 00:42:18,150 --> 00:42:16,000 you know speaking very generally 1091 00:42:21,589 --> 00:42:18,160 vibration is an important word 1092 00:42:23,670 --> 00:42:21,599 in all this um sort of 1093 00:42:25,030 --> 00:42:23,680 i think there's a lot of um sort of an 1094 00:42:27,589 --> 00:42:25,040 analogy with 1095 00:42:28,870 --> 00:42:27,599 being on certain frequencies so you know 1096 00:42:30,230 --> 00:42:28,880 an antenna 1097 00:42:32,550 --> 00:42:30,240 antenna can be tuned to a certain 1098 00:42:34,069 --> 00:42:32,560 frequency and it it 1099 00:42:36,309 --> 00:42:34,079 there can be another frequency going 1100 00:42:37,990 --> 00:42:36,319 right by it it's not going to notice it 1101 00:42:40,309 --> 00:42:38,000 um that doesn't mean this that doesn't 1102 00:42:44,150 --> 00:42:40,319 mean this radiation is not real right 1103 00:42:46,069 --> 00:42:44,160 so if we think of our mind as an antenna 1104 00:42:47,990 --> 00:42:46,079 then there's you can think of sort of 1105 00:42:50,470 --> 00:42:48,000 this idea like well why don't i 1106 00:42:52,309 --> 00:42:50,480 what if i tune my mind right here oh 1107 00:42:55,829 --> 00:42:52,319 look i can pick it up now 1108 00:42:59,190 --> 00:42:55,839 um and that i mean you know 1109 00:43:01,270 --> 00:42:59,200 there's a huge tradition largely in 1110 00:43:03,990 --> 00:43:01,280 india a spiritual tradition 1111 00:43:05,510 --> 00:43:04,000 of yogis for instance just doing amazing 1112 00:43:08,309 --> 00:43:05,520 things with all sorts of 1113 00:43:09,829 --> 00:43:08,319 eyewitnesses which you know remind me of 1114 00:43:11,829 --> 00:43:09,839 that sort of like 1115 00:43:12,950 --> 00:43:11,839 in india there's a tradition of training 1116 00:43:15,589 --> 00:43:12,960 your mind 1117 00:43:17,589 --> 00:43:15,599 to to do things that we in the west 1118 00:43:19,910 --> 00:43:17,599 would just think are absurd 1119 00:43:21,670 --> 00:43:19,920 but in india it's just a tradition when 1120 00:43:24,470 --> 00:43:21,680 it's possible and it's done 1121 00:43:26,150 --> 00:43:24,480 all the time and i do think the sort of 1122 00:43:27,829 --> 00:43:26,160 frequency vibration thing is a good 1123 00:43:30,550 --> 00:43:27,839 analogy for that 1124 00:43:31,430 --> 00:43:30,560 is that also about accessing uh part of 1125 00:43:34,309 --> 00:43:31,440 the brain 1126 00:43:36,069 --> 00:43:34,319 i mean um we all a lot of people bring 1127 00:43:37,990 --> 00:43:36,079 up the the numbers that how much of the 1128 00:43:41,349 --> 00:43:38,000 brain that we actually use 1129 00:43:44,710 --> 00:43:41,359 is it where people can actually access 1130 00:43:49,109 --> 00:43:44,720 more of their brain power so to speak 1131 00:43:51,030 --> 00:43:49,119 um and and and making this connection 1132 00:43:52,550 --> 00:43:51,040 do you know what i mean it's it's like 1133 00:43:53,589 --> 00:43:52,560 some people have more perception than 1134 00:43:57,190 --> 00:43:53,599 others 1135 00:44:00,870 --> 00:43:57,200 to develop 1136 00:44:03,270 --> 00:44:00,880 um the use of their brains 1137 00:44:05,430 --> 00:44:03,280 maybe more than uh you know others it's 1138 00:44:07,430 --> 00:44:05,440 i don't know if there's any real science 1139 00:44:08,470 --> 00:44:07,440 um and again we're talking the science 1140 00:44:12,150 --> 00:44:08,480 connection 1141 00:44:14,630 --> 00:44:12,160 um with this do you see that as a 1142 00:44:17,430 --> 00:44:14,640 possibility 1143 00:44:17,990 --> 00:44:17,440 yeah i think so i think i think it's 1144 00:44:20,390 --> 00:44:18,000 sort of 1145 00:44:21,990 --> 00:44:20,400 these types of abilities are are 1146 00:44:23,430 --> 00:44:22,000 actually like any other you know you can 1147 00:44:25,589 --> 00:44:23,440 be born 1148 00:44:26,950 --> 00:44:25,599 with a you know predilection for being a 1149 00:44:28,950 --> 00:44:26,960 good at basketball or good 1150 00:44:30,309 --> 00:44:28,960 at playing the cello i think you can be 1151 00:44:32,950 --> 00:44:30,319 born with certain 1152 00:44:34,470 --> 00:44:32,960 spiritual capacities or certain sort of 1153 00:44:36,069 --> 00:44:34,480 talents if you will 1154 00:44:37,670 --> 00:44:36,079 that are like any other talent that can 1155 00:44:41,750 --> 00:44:37,680 be developed 1156 00:44:44,390 --> 00:44:41,760 um in fact it's funny the cia uh 1157 00:44:45,430 --> 00:44:44,400 said basically that exactly that in a 1158 00:44:47,589 --> 00:44:45,440 report 1159 00:44:49,510 --> 00:44:47,599 um it's it's footnoted in my book it's 1160 00:44:51,349 --> 00:44:49,520 online uh that 1161 00:44:52,630 --> 00:44:51,359 remote viewing they've tested remote 1162 00:44:55,750 --> 00:44:52,640 viewing you know for 1163 00:44:57,910 --> 00:44:55,760 for um defense purposes 1164 00:44:58,950 --> 00:44:57,920 and they concluded that it's it's like 1165 00:45:02,069 --> 00:44:58,960 any other skill 1166 00:45:03,990 --> 00:45:02,079 it it is real it it works and certain 1167 00:45:05,349 --> 00:45:04,000 people are better at it than others but 1168 00:45:07,750 --> 00:45:05,359 everyone can develop it 1169 00:45:09,109 --> 00:45:07,760 too at least to a certain extent the 1170 00:45:09,990 --> 00:45:09,119 reason the reason i was bringing this up 1171 00:45:11,430 --> 00:45:10,000 to you i was 1172 00:45:13,349 --> 00:45:11,440 all getting to a point before martin 1173 00:45:13,829 --> 00:45:13,359 gets back with us they're the people 1174 00:45:17,270 --> 00:45:13,839 that have 1175 00:45:19,990 --> 00:45:17,280 abduct the experiences um they seem to 1176 00:45:21,510 --> 00:45:20,000 oh there's a quite a bit of those that 1177 00:45:24,470 --> 00:45:21,520 say they now have 1178 00:45:25,910 --> 00:45:24,480 some type of an ability psychic ability 1179 00:45:29,910 --> 00:45:25,920 or a connection 1180 00:45:31,910 --> 00:45:29,920 with whatever the entity was so 1181 00:45:33,270 --> 00:45:31,920 you know what i mean was something 1182 00:45:34,950 --> 00:45:33,280 triggered in their mind was something 1183 00:45:37,589 --> 00:45:34,960 implanted in their mind 1184 00:45:39,270 --> 00:45:37,599 was something altered in their brain i 1185 00:45:41,670 --> 00:45:39,280 mean 1186 00:45:43,270 --> 00:45:41,680 that's to me is the question that's why 1187 00:45:45,510 --> 00:45:43,280 it could be cross-connected 1188 00:45:46,710 --> 00:45:45,520 in that way that's why i was trying to 1189 00:45:48,150 --> 00:45:46,720 try out a little bit 1190 00:45:49,910 --> 00:45:48,160 because all the experiences talk about 1191 00:45:50,710 --> 00:45:49,920 that all the time but they have an 1192 00:45:52,309 --> 00:45:50,720 experience 1193 00:45:54,309 --> 00:45:52,319 of having a raised awareness 1194 00:45:57,510 --> 00:45:54,319 consciousness ability 1195 00:46:00,870 --> 00:45:57,520 psyche uh you know telekinesis 1196 00:46:02,790 --> 00:46:00,880 it goes on um chris that's why i was 1197 00:46:04,870 --> 00:46:02,800 wondering what your take on was the 1198 00:46:07,750 --> 00:46:04,880 makeup of the brain and the scientific 1199 00:46:08,309 --> 00:46:07,760 data or analysis that has been made with 1200 00:46:13,430 --> 00:46:08,319 that 1201 00:46:14,950 --> 00:46:13,440 have a great rest of the show martin and 1202 00:46:17,349 --> 00:46:14,960 chris yeah 1203 00:46:19,430 --> 00:46:17,359 you can you ask great questions you can 1204 00:46:21,670 --> 00:46:19,440 hang out if you'd like to or do you have 1205 00:46:23,349 --> 00:46:21,680 to go well i will go because we're going 1206 00:46:24,550 --> 00:46:23,359 to take phone calls at some point in 1207 00:46:25,510 --> 00:46:24,560 this hour and that's when it gets a 1208 00:46:27,190 --> 00:46:25,520 little busy 1209 00:46:28,390 --> 00:46:27,200 well we get on the top of the hour we're 1210 00:46:29,829 --> 00:46:28,400 going to be taking a break but i'm 1211 00:46:34,870 --> 00:46:29,839 always here if you need me 1212 00:46:39,030 --> 00:46:37,910 all right thank you yeah thank you so i 1213 00:46:40,790 --> 00:46:39,040 you know of course i didn't catch 1214 00:46:41,589 --> 00:46:40,800 exactly what you want you were talking 1215 00:46:43,990 --> 00:46:41,599 about so 1216 00:46:46,230 --> 00:46:44,000 um uh the umbrella's down we won't have 1217 00:46:48,630 --> 00:46:46,240 a mary poppins thing happen here 1218 00:46:50,309 --> 00:46:48,640 and uh so we're all good here but still 1219 00:46:52,150 --> 00:46:50,319 um 1220 00:46:53,829 --> 00:46:52,160 i i heard you you talk a little bit 1221 00:46:56,390 --> 00:46:53,839 about was it the consciousness 1222 00:46:58,870 --> 00:46:56,400 aspect that people bring up i heard he 1223 00:47:01,270 --> 00:46:58,880 talked about the abilities which is 1224 00:47:02,790 --> 00:47:01,280 um have you ever heard about those 1225 00:47:04,550 --> 00:47:02,800 situations because there's been quite a 1226 00:47:06,150 --> 00:47:04,560 few people claiming they've had these 1227 00:47:08,390 --> 00:47:06,160 new abilities like bill was talking 1228 00:47:11,670 --> 00:47:08,400 about 1229 00:47:14,150 --> 00:47:11,680 um so so you're asking me have i heard 1230 00:47:15,750 --> 00:47:14,160 of that happening after an encounter say 1231 00:47:17,510 --> 00:47:15,760 yeah 1232 00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:17,520 you know i i think now that now that you 1233 00:47:22,309 --> 00:47:19,520 both bring it up i think i have 1234 00:47:23,430 --> 00:47:22,319 um it doesn't surprise me in the least 1235 00:47:25,190 --> 00:47:23,440 because 1236

00:48:37,440 talk about that at all 1270 00:48:40,470 --> 00:48:39,760 no um i like the arthur though but no 1271 00:48:45,270 --> 00:48:40,480 i'm not 1272 00:48:46,790 --> 00:48:45,280 particular book 1273 00:48:48,470 --> 00:48:46,800 it's really it's a great book you'd 1274 00:48:51,670 --> 00:48:48,480 enjoy it it's called travels it's 1275 00:48:53,190 --> 00:48:51,680 it's non-fiction um and 1276 00:48:54,710 --> 00:48:53,200 michael crichton was a pretty free 1277 00:48:56,870 --> 00:48:54,720 thinker and uh 1278 00:48:57,910 --> 00:48:56,880 he he was also a harvard man and he 1279 00:49:00,950 --> 00:48:57,920 actually went to 1280 00:49:01,990 --> 00:49:00,960 harvard med school but he stopped he 1281 00:49:04,870 --> 00:49:02,000 didn't want to become a doctor 1282 00:49:05,670 --> 00:49:04,880 because he sort of didn't like the um 1283 00:49:08,710 --> 00:49:05,680 kind of cold 1284 00:49:10,230 --> 00:49:08,720 attitude in western medicine but anyway 1285 00:49:11,109 --> 00:49:10,240 he he had a lot of interesting 1286 00:49:13,750 --> 00:49:11,119 experiences 1287 00:49:16,069 --> 00:49:13,760 in the sort of paranormal and his 1288 00:49:19,190 --> 00:49:16,079 conclusion was that 1289 00:49:21,750 --> 00:49:19,200 once you sort of get used to them 1290 00:49:22,710 --> 00:49:21,760 they're they sort of become mundane like 1291 00:49:24,150 --> 00:49:22,720 they're sort of 1292 00:49:25,589 --> 00:49:24,160 they're like they're kind of like 1293 00:49:27,750 --> 00:49:25,599 anything else what like once you learn 1294 00:49:31,030 --> 00:49:27,760 to ride a bike it's no big deal 1295 00:49:32,230 --> 00:49:31,040 um and i think that there are these 1296 00:49:36,390 --> 00:49:32,240 capacities 1297 00:49:39,829 --> 00:49:36,400 western culture just 1298 00:49:41,109 --> 00:49:39,839 either ridicules or ignores um 1299 00:49:43,349 --> 00:49:41,119 and so they don't get developed they 1300 00:49:45,510 --> 00:49:43,359 don't get talked about there's no 1301 00:49:46,790 --> 00:49:45,520 sort of tradition for passing down how 1302 00:49:49,589 --> 00:49:46,800 to do it 1303 00:49:49,990 --> 00:49:49,599 and you just get people sort of hit and 1304 00:49:51,349 --> 00:49:50,000 miss 1305 00:49:53,589 --> 00:49:51,359 kind of finding out how to do it on 1306 00:49:56,309 --> 00:49:53,599 their own then they get labeled uh 1307 00:49:57,589 --> 00:49:56,319 quack maybe and then of course you do 1308 00:49:59,670 --> 00:49:57,599 have scam artists 1309 00:50:01,190 --> 00:49:59,680 i mean that's not to say there are 1310 00:50:01,990 --> 00:50:01,200 psychics out there that are just you 1311 00:50:04,390 --> 00:50:02,000 know 1312 00:50:07,109 --> 00:50:04,400 completely duping people uh but that 1313 00:50:09,589 --> 00:50:07,119 doesn't mean every all of them are 1314 00:50:10,549 --> 00:50:09,599 yeah that's right there's uh there's 1315 00:50:13,109 --> 00:50:10,559 this great 1316 00:50:15,030

00:50:22,150 --> 00:50:19,760 in the ufo topic 1320 00:50:24,230 --> 00:50:22,160 and he recalls this time where he would 1321 00:50:25,990 --> 00:50:24,240 go to these conferences 1322 00:50:27,349 --> 00:50:26,000 and there was one guy there that 1323 00:50:30,069 --> 00:50:27,359 everyone was kind of 1324 00:50:31,030 --> 00:50:30,079 silently laughing at saying you know the 1325 00:50:34,390 --> 00:50:31,040 guy's a nut 1326 00:50:37,910 --> 00:50:34,400 because he believes in this um 1327 00:50:41,270 --> 00:50:37,920 earthquake lights you know that was the 1328 00:50:42,710 --> 00:50:41,280 there's a phenomenon that he was talking 1329 00:50:45,750 --> 00:50:42,720 about and studying about it 1330 00:50:47,990 --> 00:50:45,760 and making you know some writing papers 1331 00:50:51,750 --> 00:50:48,000 or whatever it was he was doing about it 1332 00:50:53,430 --> 00:50:51,760 and then um like again like i said 1333 00:50:55,510 --> 00:50:53,440 everyone was calling him a quack behind 1334 00:50:56,950 --> 00:50:55,520 his back ends up he was right 1335 00:50:59,030 --> 00:50:56,960 you know there was really something to 1336 00:51:01,670 --> 00:50:59,040 it and so that's 1337 00:51:02,790 --> 00:51:01,680 um kevin gnuth said that's when i 1338 00:51:04,230 --> 00:51:02,800 realized that 1339 00:51:06,150 --> 00:51:04,240 you know if there's something to this 1340 00:51:08,870 --> 00:51:06,160 ufo thing i don't 1341 00:51:10,790 --> 00:51:08,880 care if i'm ridiculed i want to look i 1342 00:51:12,790 --> 00:51:10,800 want to be on the ground floor 1343

is 1346 00:51:21,430 --> 00:51:19,990 that that reminded me of a quote i was 1347 00:51:23,829 --> 00:51:21,440 just looking for in my book 1348 00:51:25,190 --> 00:51:23,839 i won't try to find the exact quote but 1349 00:51:27,589 --> 00:51:25,200 it's by a spanish 1350 00:51:28,470 --> 00:51:27,599 writer philosopher miguel de una muno 1351 00:51:31,510 --> 00:51:28,480 who said 1352

00:58:28,960 this evening but uh so 1493 00:58:33,589 --> 00:58:32,160 let's let's talk about what you know 1494 00:58:39,270 --> 00:58:33,599 what motivated you to 1495 00:58:48,870 --> 00:58:44,230 um you know it might have been to uh 1496 00:58:53,910 --> 00:58:52,150 i mean that might be the i don't know 1497 00:58:55,670 --> 00:58:53,920 that's one answer i don't think there's 1498 00:58:55,910 --> 00:58:55,680 a there's there is one answer but that 1499 00:59:00,150 --> 00:58:55,920 is 1500 00:59:04,390 --> 00:59:00,160 one um he 1501 00:59:06,870 --> 00:59:04,400 it's not like he was sort of uh you know 1502 00:59:08,230 --> 00:59:06,880 like spouting off about how the 1503 00:59:11,349 --> 00:59:08,240 spiritual world is 1504 00:59:13,750 --> 00:59:11,359 is um all crap but 1505 00:59:15,190 --> 00:59:13,760 he you know i i did have a different 1506 00:59:16,789 --> 00:59:15,200 view of things from him 1507 00:59:19,910 --> 00:59:16,799 and i think i just think i had that in 1508 00:59:22,950 --> 00:59:22,230 so partly him but also you know i would 1509 00:59:26,470 --> 00:59:22,960 hear 1510 00:59:29,349 --> 00:59:26,480 stuff and 1511 00:59:30,230 --> 00:59:29,359 talk about things in a certain way and 1512 00:59:33,670 --> 00:59:30,240 it just 1513 00:59:34,549 --> 00:59:33,680 it it bugged me and i also i didn't like 1514 00:59:38,230 --> 00:59:34,559 the idea 1515 00:59:39,750 --> 00:59:38,240 of um maybe maybe as i talk i'm gonna 1516 00:59:44,789 --> 00:59:39,760 get closer to the 1517 00:59:48,390 --> 00:59:44,799 the truth um i actually when i was a kid 1518 00:59:49,589 --> 00:59:48,400 i used to lie awake sometimes at night 1519 00:59:52,150 --> 00:59:49,599 or 1520 00:59:53,430 --> 00:59:52,160 and just think about how i was going to 1521 00:59:55,750 --> 00:59:53,440 die 1522 00:59:57,829 --> 00:59:55,760 and my consciousness would be 1523 01:00:01,109 --> 00:59:57,839 extinguished for eternity 1524 01:00:01,910 --> 01:00:01,119 and i just i could not see any other way 1525 01:00:16,150 --> 01:00:01,920 that 1526 01:00:17,910 --> 01:00:16,160 um and so you know a certain age it 1527 01:00:19,270 --> 01:00:17,920 occurred to me like well that's going to 1528 01:00:22,870 --> 01:00:19,280 happen to me 1529 01:00:24,789 --> 01:00:22,880 and it was terrifying um 1530 01:00:26,230 --> 01:00:24,799 and i i think that i mean that's that's 1531 01:00:28,950 --> 01:00:26,240 sort of 1532 01:00:30,950 --> 01:00:28,960 what a lot of intelligent educated 1533 01:00:33,990 --> 01:00:30,960 scientific western 1534 01:00:35,270 --> 01:00:34,000 you know people believe that sort of 1535 01:00:38,230 --> 01:00:35,280 that's what the evidence 1536 01:00:39,270 --> 01:00:38,240 shows and you know it's not like of 1537 01:00:40,870 --> 01:00:39,280 course this book is 1538 01:00:42,470 --> 01:00:40,880 proof of an afterlife or anything like 1539 01:00:44,870 --> 01:00:42,480 that but 1540 01:00:46,309 --> 01:00:44,880 i just wanted to i also wanted to write 1541 01:00:48,549 --> 01:00:46,319 a book to sort of 1542 01:00:49,990 --> 01:00:48,559 let's let someone continue to be 1543 01:00:53,030 --> 01:00:50,000 intelligent 1544 01:00:56,150 --> 01:00:53,040 but see that there is so 1545 01:00:59,190 --> 01:00:56,160 much in the way of possibility and that 1546 01:01:01,589 --> 01:00:59,200 being intelligent believing in science 1547 01:01:02,309 --> 01:01:01,599 does not mean that there are not other 1548 01:01:05,190 --> 01:01:02,319 worlds 1549 01:01:06,309 --> 01:01:05,200 and um it's not in conflict with 1550 01:01:09,270 --> 01:01:06,319 spirituality 1551 01:01:09,670 --> 01:01:09,280 so i think that's probably the big thing 1552 01:01:13,270 --> 01:01:09,680 so 1553 01:01:17,030 --> 01:01:13,280 tell me your father read the book 1554 01:01:20,549 --> 01:01:18,630 i don't like to force things on people 1555 01:01:23,750 --> 01:01:20,559 when they don't want to do it so 1556 01:01:26,470 --> 01:01:23,760 yeah yeah and what did did he give you 1557 01:01:29,990 --> 01:01:28,950 he said he was going to and then and 1558 01:01:32,630 --> 01:01:30,000 then it just kind of 1559 01:01:33,190 --> 01:01:32,640 slipped by and other things became more 1560 01:01:34,950 --> 01:01:33,200 important 1561 01:01:36,309 --> 01:01:34,960 i have a wonderful i have a wonderful 1562 01:01:39,670 --> 01:01:36,319 connection with him 1563 01:01:41,510 --> 01:01:39,680 um and it just 1564 01:01:42,789 --> 01:01:41,520 no longer feels like something that has 1565 01:01:46,150 --> 01:01:42,799 to be sort of 1566 01:01:46,789 --> 01:01:46,160 on the table between us if that makes 1567 01:01:50,309 --> 01:01:46,799 sense 1568 01:01:52,309 --> 01:01:50,319 yeah yeah yeah you know it's funny this 1569 01:01:54,470 --> 01:01:52,319 uh i never really thought about that 1570 01:01:58,630 --> 01:01:54,480 type of thing 1571 01:02:00,470 --> 01:01:58,640 too deeply about you know what happens 1572 01:02:02,309 --> 01:02:00,480 and all that stuff but you know it's 1573 01:02:03,750 --> 01:02:02,319 it's quite amazing because there's so 1574 01:02:06,870 --> 01:02:03,760 many people that are 1575 01:02:09,190 --> 01:02:06,880 interested in the ufo field that also 1576 01:02:12,150 --> 01:02:09,200 have an interest in this type of things 1577 01:02:12,470 --> 01:02:12,160 whether it's the near-death experiences 1578 01:02:19,990 --> 01:02:12,480 or 1579 01:02:23,190 --> 01:02:20,000 all of the past past lives all of that 1580 01:02:23,750 --> 01:02:23,200 i try to be open-minded that's how i 1581 01:02:26,870 --> 01:02:23,760 think 1582 01:02:28,309 --> 01:02:26,880 um you know we learn things is by being 1583 01:02:31,910 --> 01:02:28,319 open-minded 1584 01:02:35,270 --> 01:02:31,920 so it's uh you know these are all things 1585 01:02:36,390 --> 01:02:35,280 we don't have any evidence that there's 1586 01:02:38,390 --> 01:02:36,400 nothing we don't have 1587 01:02:41,270 --> 01:02:38,400 any evidence that there's something and 1588 01:02:43,270 --> 01:02:41,280 i don't see how there ever could be 1589 01:02:44,630 --> 01:02:43,280 you know how could science ever explain 1590 01:02:48,309 --> 01:02:44,640 any of that 1591 01:02:51,349 --> 01:02:48,319 anyway right right 1592 01:02:53,190 --> 01:02:51,359 right well i i i mean i would say there 1593 01:02:55,270 --> 01:02:53,200 there is a type of evidence that there's 1594 01:02:58,069 --> 01:02:55,280 something in the form of 1595 01:02:58,630 --> 01:02:58,079 people's experiences with with with near 1596 01:03:00,630 --> 01:02:58,640 death 1597 01:03:02,870 --> 01:03:00,640 um you know some people would call that 1598 01:03:05,750 --> 01:03:02,880 evidence some people wouldn't 1599 01:03:06,710 --> 01:03:05,760 i make a distinction in my book between 1600 01:03:10,230 --> 01:03:06,720 experience 1601 01:03:13,510 --> 01:03:10,240 and evidence um and so 1602 01:03:15,109 --> 01:03:13,520 what i say is that there's there's human 1603 01:03:17,190 --> 01:03:15,119 experience 1604 01:03:19,270 --> 01:03:17,200 that's the biggest that's the biggest 1605 01:03:21,349 --> 01:03:19,280 thing there is in terms of 1606 01:03:22,390 --> 01:03:21,359 um kind of what what we have to go on 1607 01:03:23,990 --> 01:03:22,400 right what 1608 01:03:25,510 --> 01:03:24,000 what do we have to go on we have human 1609 01:03:26,549 --> 01:03:25,520 experience to go on we have our own 1610 01:03:29,589 --> 01:03:26,559 experience 1611 01:03:32,870 --> 01:03:29,599 and we have what other people say to us 1612 01:03:35,589 --> 01:03:32,880 um and of course you have to be 1613 01:03:36,069 --> 01:03:35,599 you know shrewd and and sort of consider 1614 01:03:38,950 --> 01:03:36,079 whether 1615 01:03:40,069 --> 01:03:38,960 what someone's telling you is is a lie 1616 01:03:42,309 --> 01:03:40,079 but 1617 01:03:44,150 --> 01:03:42,319 human experience is really big let's say 1618 01:03:45,990 --> 01:03:44,160 this is human experience 1619 01:03:47,750 --> 01:03:46,000 and it includes very compelling 1620 01:03:50,870 --> 01:03:47,760 experiences with 1621 01:03:52,230 --> 01:03:50,880 all manner of you know ufos and spirits 1622 01:03:55,270 --> 01:03:52,240 and channeling and near-death 1623 01:03:57,349 --> 01:03:55,280 experiences and out-of-body experiences 1624 01:04:00,150 --> 01:03:57,359 and then there's what science calls 1625 01:04:04,390 --> 01:04:00,160 evidence which we could say is 1626 01:04:05,829 --> 01:04:04,400 this this part science isn't looking at 1627 01:04:08,549 --> 01:04:05,839 human experience 1628 01:04:09,990 --> 01:04:08,559 science is looking at certain types of 1629 01:04:11,510 --> 01:04:10,000 human experience 1630 01:04:13,270 --> 01:04:11,520 and it's looking at that experience 1631 01:04:15,510 --> 01:04:13,280 through a certain lens 1632 01:04:18,069 --> 01:04:15,520 and it's trying to make it's trying to 1633 01:04:18,630 --> 01:04:18,079 bring generalized concepts out of that 1634 01:04:22,390 --> 01:04:18,640 like 1635 01:04:23,589 --> 01:04:22,400 force equals mass times acceleration so 1636 01:04:25,589 --> 01:04:23,599 i think that's a really important 1637 01:04:27,109 --> 01:04:25,599 distinction is are you interested in 1638 01:04:29,510 --> 01:04:27,119 human experience 1639 01:04:31,029 --> 01:04:29,520 that you know i can see no way for 1640 01:04:31,510 --> 01:04:31,039 instance like i watched the travis 1641 01:04:33,750 --> 01:04:31,520 welton 1642 01:04:35,190 -->

01:14:11,990 --> 01:14:08,960 know someone would ask me 1886 01:14:13,990 --> 01:14:12,000 if there is materials for sure i don't i 1887 01:14:16,310 --> 01:14:14,000 i wouldn't know i don't there's a lot of 1888 01:14:20,709 --> 01:14:16,320 people that say there is but 1889 01:14:23,910 --> 01:14:20,719 i don't even know if the whole 1890 01:14:24,870 --> 01:14:23,920 to me the ufo phenomenon is not it's not 1891 01:14:26,550 --> 01:14:24,880 restricted 1892 01:14:29,030 --> 01:14:26,560 this is sort of gets back to this theme 1893 01:14:31,430 --> 01:14:29,040 of drawing boundaries and divisions 1894 01:14:33,030 --> 01:14:31,440 um and sort of separating things off 1895 01:14:36,390 --> 01:14:33,040 into neat little convenient 1896 01:14:37,669 --> 01:14:36,400 you know bite-sized pieces to me the ufo 1897 01:14:40,870 --> 01:14:37,679 phenomena is not 1898 01:14:44,149 --> 01:14:40,880 it's not restricted to you know just 1899 01:14:47,189 --> 01:14:44,159 travis welton in a in a you in a 1900 01:14:50,470 --> 01:14:47,199 a spacecraft it's it's spread out it 1901 01:14:53,270 --> 01:14:50,480 like it it's sort of it's this strange 1902 01:14:54,550 --> 01:14:53,280 area where you know it what reminded me 1903 01:14:55,030 --> 01:14:54,560 was you're talking about the government 1904 01:14:58,550 --> 01:14:55,040 like 1905 01:15:00,950 --> 01:14:58,560 hiding something 1906 01:15:02,390 --> 01:15:00,960 i heard this i heard this there's this 1907 01:15:05,990 --> 01:15:02,400 sort of whole 1908 01:15:09,430 --> 01:15:06,000 kind of strange mist around the topic 1909 01:15:11,750 --> 01:15:09,440 that it it just sort of 1910 01:15:15,270 --> 01:15:11,760 makes you question beliefs and 1911 01:15:17,110 --> 01:15:15,280 objectivity and subjectivity and uh 1912 01:15:18,709 --> 01:15:17,120 it's a fascinating realm and i don't 1913 01:15:20,950 --> 01:15:18,719 pretend to you know i 1914 01:15:22,830 --> 01:15:20,960 i feel like the almost the whole point 1915 01:15:26,070 --> 01:15:22,840 of it is to 1916 01:15:27,669 --> 01:15:26,080 um kind of push our boundaries or our 1917 01:15:30,630 --> 01:15:27,679 limits 1918 01:15:32,630 --> 01:15:30,640 um i think an interesting analogy is is 1919 01:15:36,070 --> 01:15:32,640 the trickster i don't know how how uh 1920 01:15:38,630 --> 01:15:36,080 much aware you are of the the trickster 1921 01:15:40,550 --> 01:15:38,640 sort of uh god if you will in various 1922 01:15:42,470 --> 01:15:40,560 mythologies but 1923 01:15:44,310 --> 01:15:42,480 i think ufos and various phenomena like 1924 01:15:46,390 --> 01:15:44,320 that are related to that 1925 01:15:47,350 --> 01:15:46,400 they're sort of they're tris they're 1926 01:15:50,070 --> 01:15:47,360 trickster-like 1927 01:15:50,950 --> 01:15:50,080 figures that that love to sort of push 1928 01:15:53,430 --> 01:15:50,960 buttons 1929 01:15:55,830 --> 01:15:53,440 and play with our kind of neat little 1930 01:15:57,350 --> 01:15:55,840 convenient ideas about reality 1931 01:15:58,870 --> 01:15:57,360 and that's actually that is their role 1932 01:16:01,189 --> 01:15:58,880 in lots of mythologies 1933 01:16:02,149 --> 01:16:01,199 is to just kind of shake things up and 1934 01:16:05,350 --> 01:16:02,159 you know 1935 01:16:08,310 --> 01:16:05,360 get you off your beaten path and 1936 01:16:09,270 --> 01:16:08,320 um there's been a lot of that in in this 1937 01:16:11,830 --> 01:16:09,280 field 1938 01:16:12,390 --> 01:16:11,840 definitely you know going all the way 1939 01:16:15,350 --> 01:16:12,400 back to 1940 01:16:16,070 --> 01:16:15,360 richard doty and the paul benowitz case 1941 01:16:18,550 --> 01:16:16,080 these are all 1942 01:16:20,149 --> 01:16:18,560 interesting things where there was all 1943 01:16:23,350 --> 01:16:20,159 uh misinformation 1944 01:16:25,189 --> 01:16:23,360 pumped his way so he would uh 1945 01:16:27,189 --> 01:16:25,199 he would look into something else away 1946 01:16:29,030 --> 01:16:27,199 from the air base and stop filming what 1947 01:16:29,750 --> 01:16:29,040 he was filming and you know that type of 1948 01:16:33,030 --> 01:16:29,760 thing 1949 01:16:34,390 --> 01:16:33,040 so the the government has done this in 1950 01:16:37,510 --> 01:16:34,400 the past you know i mean 1951 01:16:39,510 --> 01:16:37,520 against its own people yeah 1952 01:16:41,430 --> 01:16:39,520 yeah it it the whole topic seems to sort 1953 01:16:45,430 --> 01:16:41,440 of bring out this 1954 01:16:47,910 --> 01:16:45,440 sort of deceitful subterfuge strange 1955 01:16:49,669 --> 01:16:47,920 behavior and it and it's just surrounds 1956 01:16:50,950 --> 01:16:49,679 it all and it makes it very hard to to 1957 01:16:53,030 --> 01:16:50,960 make heads or tails 1958 01:16:54,630 --> 01:16:53,040 and say anything definitive about these 1959 01:16:57,270 --> 01:16:54,640 things 1960 01:16:57,990 --> 01:16:57,280 yeah you know i've uh i've said a number 1961 01:17:01,350 --> 01:16:58,000 of times that 1962 01:17:04,550 --> 01:17:01,360 and i believe this that um perhaps 1963 01:17:05,990 --> 01:17:04,560 the government knows maybe more than 1964 01:17:08,470 --> 01:17:06,000 they're saying 1965 01:17:10,149 --> 01:17:08,480 but i really highly doubt that they know 1966 01:17:12,070 --> 01:17:10,159 what it is 1967 01:17:13,590 --> 01:17:12,080 right you know i don't think they know 1968 01:17:15,510 --> 01:17:13,600 that connection 1969 01:17:16,630 --> 01:17:15,520 and the rumors of eisenhower meeting 1970 01:17:18,149 --> 01:17:16,640 with aliens and 1971 01:17:19,830 --> 01:17:18,159 all that stuff i don't i don't really 1972 01:17:20,709 --> 01:17:19,840 buy that stuff but maybe i'm wrong i 1973 01:17:23,910 --> 01:17:20,719 mean 1974 01:17:26,950 --> 01:17:23,920 right it is possible 1975 01:17:28,630 --> 01:17:26,960 right so and i don't know if you heard 1976 01:17:30,390 --> 01:17:28,640 any of those rumors that there was a 1977 01:17:31,830 --> 01:17:30,400 packed sign that they could abduct 1978 01:17:36,870 --> 01:17:31,840 people um 1979 01:17:38,149 --> 01:17:36,880 if they gave technology that they had 1980 01:17:40,470 --> 01:17:38,159 you know that type of thing and that's 1981 01:17:43,669 --> 01:17:40,480 why we had such a big spike in tactile 1982 01:17:47,189 --> 01:17:43,679 technology ah yeah no i had 1983 01:17:48,709 --> 01:17:47,199 that one of course it was aliens yes 1984 01:17:50,149 --> 01:17:48,719 so there was another question that came 1985 01:17:51,590 --> 01:17:50,159 up here and speaking of questions we're 1986 01:17:53,110 --> 01:17:51,600 going to open the lines 1987 01:17:55,189 --> 01:17:53,120 a little bit early tonight if anyone 1988 01:17:57,350 --> 01:17:55,199 would like to call in and ask you a 1989 01:18:00,310 --> 01:17:57,360 question but i did see another question 1990 01:18:00,709 --> 01:18:00,320 and if you're going to put a question in 1991 01:18:03,830 --> 01:18:00,719 chat 1992 01:18:05,669 --> 01:18:03,840 please do put them in all caps 1993 01:18:07,030 --> 01:18:05,679 um this is uh he wanted to know what 1994

01:18:14,320 well um you know it it 1998 01:18:17,910 --> 01:18:16,480 i don't i don't know i'm not an expert 1999 01:18:20,149 --> 01:18:17,920 on that i i haven't 2000 01:18:22,310 --> 01:18:20,159 i didn't look into that too much for 2001 01:18:24,470 --> 01:18:22,320 this book um 2002 01:18:26,870 --> 01:18:24,480 and uh it does seem though that there 2003 01:18:29,910 --> 01:18:26,880 are certain places on the planet 2004 01:18:32,709 --> 01:18:29,920 um where there's sort of active 2005 01:18:33,510 --> 01:18:32,719 spots um you know and again this this 2006 01:18:35,910 --> 01:18:33,520 goes back 2007 01:18:37,830 --> 01:18:35,920 through through history and cultures 2008 01:18:38,630 --> 01:18:37,840 where you know there were sacred sites 2009 01:18:42,390 --> 01:18:38,640 where 2010 01:18:43,830 --> 01:18:42,400 greeks would go and these fumes would 2011 01:18:45,590 --> 01:18:43,840 come up from the earth 2012 01:18:46,950 --> 01:18:45,600 um sort of you could think of them as 2013 01:18:49,590 --> 01:18:46,960 sort of hot spots 2014 01:18:50,630 --> 01:18:49,600 where where this sort of energy or 2015 01:18:54,870 --> 01:18:50,640 psychic 2016 01:18:56,950 --> 01:18:54,880 is more likely 2017 01:18:58,390 --> 01:18:56,960 there's little what the irish would call 2018 01:18:59,830 --> 01:18:58,400 fairy hills right where you're more 2019 01:19:01,750 --> 01:18:59,840 likely to see fairies 2020 01:19:02,870 --> 01:19:01,760 which are very much similar type of 2021 01:19:05,430 --> 01:19:02,880 phenomenon 2022 01:19:06,149 --> 01:19:05,440 so um it certainly seems to me that 2023 01:19:09,110 --> 01:19:06,159 there are 2024 01:19:09,990 --> 01:19:09,120 places on the planet that are more prone 2025 01:19:13,110 --> 01:19:10,000 to 2026 01:19:15,990 --> 01:19:13,120 certain certain phenomena like that 2027 01:19:18,310 --> 01:19:16,000 i agree and and that's just i mean 2028 01:19:21,110 --> 01:19:18,320 trying to figure out how to explain that 2029 01:19:22,070 --> 01:19:21,120 i mean it makes no sense at all and 2030 01:19:25,189 --> 01:19:22,080 right and and 2031 01:19:27,430 --> 01:19:25,199 also when say for instance a ufo's 2032 01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:27,440 ufo sightings will happen over and over 2033 01:19:32,310 --> 01:19:29,040 and over again 2034 01:19:33,510 --> 01:19:32,320 and and in one area and right i'm almost 2035 01:19:35,990 --> 01:19:33,520 predictable 2036 01:19:37,910 --> 01:19:36,000 you know which is another uh crazy 2037 01:19:40,390 --> 01:19:37,920 situation 2038 01:19:41,910 --> 01:19:40,400 or like uh the man in uh in west 2039 01:19:45,350 --> 01:19:41,920 virginia i think it was 2040 01:19:49,030 --> 01:19:45,360 wow uh the marfa lights 2041 01:19:50,950 --> 01:19:49,040 around texas uh quite a localized 2042 01:19:52,709 --> 01:19:50,960 phenomenon that apparently 2043 01:19:54,390 --> 01:19:52,719 from what i read has been going on since 2044 01:19:55,830 --> 01:19:54,400 the native americans were the only 2045 01:20:00,470 --> 01:19:55,840 people there 2046 01:20:03,590 --> 01:20:00,480 and there sorry there's a boat coming in 2047 01:20:06,390 --> 01:20:03,600 there is i think there's an attempt to 2048 01:20:07,030 --> 01:20:06,400 prove what that is but um i don't know 2049 01:20:11,669 --> 01:20:07,040 if that's 2050 01:20:13,750 --> 01:20:11,679 particular but 2051 01:20:16,310 --> 01:20:13,760 have you looked into the skinwalker 2052 01:20:19,110 --> 01:20:16,320 ranch that's another good example of 2053 01:20:21,350 --> 01:20:19,120 a crazy is it it's called the skinwalker 2054 01:20:23,189 --> 01:20:21,360 ranch in utah 2055 01:20:24,390 --> 01:20:23,199 no i haven't heard of that yeah our 2056 01:20:26,149 --> 01:20:24,400 history channel did a 2057 01:20:27,910 --> 01:20:26,159 um a series on i think they're still 2058 01:20:30,470 --> 01:20:27,920 doing an active series 2059 01:20:32,149 --> 01:20:30,480 uh possibly another season but just many 2060 01:20:32,709 --> 01:20:32,159 weird things happen whether they're 2061 01:20:36,310 --> 01:20:32,719 happening 2062 01:20:37,669 --> 01:20:36,320 or not i don't know 2063 01:20:40,870 --> 01:20:37,679 you know a lot of that i don't want to 2064 01:20:44,470 --> 01:20:40,880 say is staged but 2065 01:20:46,149 --> 01:20:44,480 some of that is just plain 2066 01:20:48,229 --> 01:20:46,159 using the wrong equipment and getting 2067 01:20:50,790 --> 01:20:48,239 readings you know things like that 2068 01:20:51,910 --> 01:20:50,800 but uh anyway it's interesting we 2069 01:20:55,110 --> 01:20:51,920 actually have someone 2070 01:20:57,669 --> 01:20:55,120 uh on the phone here let me uh pull them 2071 01:20:58,709 --> 01:20:57,679 up hang on just a second we have uh 2072 01:21:04,149 --> 01:20:58,719 carrie 2073 01:21:07,830 --> 01:21:06,790 hi how are you hey martin i'm fine thank 2074 01:21:10,070 --> 01:21:07,840 you hi chris 2075 01:21:11,590 --> 01:21:10,080 hey i was just going to you stole my you 2076 01:21:14,550 --> 01:21:11,600 saw my question there uh 2077 01:21:16,310 --> 01:21:14,560 my response basically what did he think 2078 01:21:18,709 --> 01:21:16,320 of skinwalker ranch and we have like 2079 01:21:20,390 --> 01:21:18,719 travis power who's an astrophysicist 2080 01:21:22,709 --> 01:21:20,400 but you brought up a point that was kind 2081 01:21:24,229 --> 01:21:22,719 of interesting because brandon and 2082 01:21:25,110 --> 01:21:24,239 thomas were with george knapp this 2083 01:21:26,709 --> 01:21:25,120 weekend 2084 01:21:27,910 --> 01:21:26,719 and you asked if like maybe some of the 2085 01:21:28,950 --> 01:21:27,920 things that sort of staged for the 2086 01:21:32,950 --> 01:21:28,960 cameras 2087 01:21:34,629 --> 01:21:32,960 and uh they were actually i'm sorry 2088 01:21:36,310 --> 01:21:34,639 oh no i don't know that might have been 2089 01:21:38,390 --> 01:21:36,320 that wasn't me but i didn't 2090 01:21:39,430 --> 01:21:38,400 just to correct you i didn't say staged 2091 01:21:41,669 --> 01:21:39,440 i said the 2092 01:21:43,110 --> 01:21:41,679 some of their equipment was showing 2093 01:21:44,709 --> 01:21:43,120 readings when it may have not been the 2094 01:21:45,910 --> 01:21:44,719 right equipment i've been told this by 2095 01:21:48,629 --> 01:21:45,920 scientists 2096 01:21:49,350 --> 01:21:48,639 so but i don't know you know i don't um 2097 01:21:53,110 --> 01:21:49,360 it's 2098 01:21:56,390 --> 01:21:53,120 second second hand right now 2099 01:21:57,430 --> 01:21:56,400 but go ahead continue they sort of seem 2100 01:21:58,870 --> 01:21:57,440 like they know what they're doing but 2101 01:22:00,629 --> 01:21:58,880 one of the things that they were talking 2102 01:22:01,910 --> 01:22:00,639 about because somebody has that question 2103 01:22:03,990 --> 01:22:01,920 these things only happen when the 2104 01:22:04,709 --> 01:22:04,000 cameras are on and actually they were 2105 01:22:06,629 --> 01:22:04,719 saying no 2106 01:22:08,310 --> 01:22:06,639 a lot of times when the cameras aren't 2107 01:22:10,310 --> 01:22:08,320 on things happen and they can't capture 2108 01:22:12,629 --> 01:22:10,320 them and sometimes they're actually 2109 01:22:14,950 --> 01:22:12,639 believing there's an intelligence behind 2110 01:22:16,790 --> 01:22:14,960 behind it all because a camera will go 2111 01:22:18,229 --> 01:22:16,800 down where something happens and then 2112 01:22:20,870 --> 01:22:18,239 come back on again 2113 01:22:23,350 --> 01:22:20,880 after the event happened and uh they are 2114 01:22:25,189 --> 01:22:23,360 going to have a third season 2115 01:22:27,110 --> 01:22:25,199 and uh it's just uh you know like their 2116 01:22:28,629 --> 01:22:27,120 last if you saw the season finale where 2117 01:22:31,110 --> 01:22:28,639 they were flying the helicopter 2118 01:22:32,870 --> 01:22:31,120 and something invisible the crap was 2119 01:22:33,830 --> 01:22:32,880 registering on the radar beneath the 2120 01:22:36,229 --> 01:22:33,840 helicopter i mean 2121 01:22:38,070 --> 01:22:36,239 it's just like you talk about science 2122 01:22:39,830 --> 01:22:38,080 and things beyond what we can understand 2123 01:22:41,590 --> 01:22:39,840 after watching that show and you know 2124 01:22:42,070 --> 01:22:41,600 just all the research that went on out 2125 01:22:49,910 --> 01:22:42,080 there 2126 01:22:52,470 --> 01:22:49,920 psychic beings portals 2127 01:22:53,910 --> 01:22:52,480 yeah the portal thing yeah that's really 2128 01:22:55,830 --> 01:22:53,920 something chris to look into 2129 01:22:57,270 --> 01:22:55,840 because you know they had a team of 2130 01:23:00,070 --> 01:22:57,280 scientists there 2131 01:23:01,910 --> 01:23:00,080 for a number of years and they were out 2132 01:23:03,990 --> 01:23:01,920 one night and they saw this 2133 01:23:06,629 --> 01:23:04,000 portal just show up and this thing that 2134 01:23:09,270 --> 01:23:06,639 looked kind of like a bigfoot 2135 01:23:11,430 --> 01:23:09,280 came out of this portal and the portal 2136 01:23:12,950 --> 01:23:11,440 closed up i mean it's bizarre they 2137 01:23:14,310 --> 01:23:12,960 didn't catch it on film they weren't 2138 01:23:18,310 --> 01:23:14,320 prepared for it 2139 01:23:19,830 --> 01:23:18,320 but uh yeah yeah 2140 01:23:21,510 --> 01:23:19,840 is this kerry from the northern 2141 01:23:24,310 --> 01:23:21,520 california that i 2142 01:23:24,709 --> 01:23:24,320 that i communicate with every night yep 2143 01:23:27,830 --> 01:23:24,719 yep 2144 01:23:30,070 --> 01:23:27,840 that's me all right nice to talk to you 2145 01:23:30,870 --> 01:23:30,080 anything else while you're on the line 2146 01:23:32,550 --> 01:23:30,880 for our guest 2147 01:23:33,830 --> 01:23:32,560 no that was pretty much about it and it 2148 01:23:35,270 --> 01:23:33,840 was really interesting to listen to 2149 01:23:36,950 --> 01:23:35,280 brandon and thomas to hear that the 2150 01:23:38,390 --> 01:23:36,960 weird stuff goes on all the time they 2151 01:23:39,430 --> 01:23:38,400 don't always capture everything 2152 01:23:41,350 --> 01:23:39,440 and that they thought there was an 2153 01:23:42,550 --> 01:23:41,360 intelligence behind it all so i thought 2154 01:23:44,550 --> 01:23:42,560 that was something that i had never 2155 01:23:46,310 --> 01:23:44,560 heard before 2156 01:23:47,990 --> 01:23:46,320 yeah yeah there's something been going 2157 01:23:49,590 --> 01:23:48,000 on there a long time thanks a lot for 2158 01:23:51,030 --> 01:23:49,600 the call 2159 01:23:53,990 --> 01:23:51,040 my pleasure take care thank you for your 2160 01:23:56,709 --> 01:23:54,000 show thank you chris thanks 2161 01:23:57,910 --> 01:23:56,719 yeah yeah chris that's really um that's 2162 01:23:59,430 --> 01:23:57,920 really something you may want to look 2163 01:24:00,950 --> 01:23:59,440 into it's just because it is such a 2164 01:24:02,629 --> 01:24:00,960 fascinating place 2165 01:24:05,110 --> 01:24:02,639 with so many weird things that have 2166 01:24:07,189 --> 01:24:05,120 happened there and 2167 01:24:08,550 --> 01:24:07,199 it goes back to the native americans 2168 01:24:11,110 --> 01:24:08,560 talking about 2169 01:24:11,990 --> 01:24:11,120 you know incidents that were happening 2170 01:24:13,830 --> 01:24:12,000 and that's why 2171 01:24:16,950 --> 01:24:13,840 they called the skinwalker that's a 2172 01:24:19,510 --> 01:24:16,960 native american term and 2173 01:24:20,550 --> 01:24:19,520 but anyway it's it's a fascinating place 2174 01:24:23,350 --> 01:24:20,560 but there are 2175 01:24:25,189 --> 01:24:23,360 you know while we're on this subject of 2176 01:24:28,310 --> 01:24:25,199 weird hot spots there are 2177 01:24:30,229 --> 01:24:28,320 many places there's brown mountain 2178 01:24:32,550 --> 01:24:30,239 where there's ufos seen there all the 2179 01:24:35,110 --> 01:24:32,560 time and in the south somewhere 2180 01:24:36,470 --> 01:24:35,120 um i'm just trying to think of some 2181 01:24:40,310 --> 01:24:36,480 other ones but 2182 01:24:43,510 --> 01:24:40,320 over in norway 2183 01:24:46,070 --> 01:24:43,520 uh hestelgen lights um 2184 01:24:47,750 --> 01:24:46,080 that have been seen for a hundred years 2185 01:24:50,550 --> 01:24:47,760 you know just strange things maybe some 2186 01:24:55,270 --> 01:24:50,560 of them are natural phenomenon 2187 01:24:57,510 --> 01:24:55,280 from say deposits and 2188 01:24:59,350 --> 01:24:57,520 metals or something in the local 2189 01:25:00,470 --> 01:24:59,360 geography or something like that i'm not 2190 01:25:25,590 --> 01:25:00,480 i 2191 01:25:27,189 --> 01:25:25,600 because 2192 01:25:28,950 --> 01:25:27,199 i don't i'll make a fool of myself 2193 01:25:30,950 --> 01:25:28,960 because i don't i don't really know 2194 01:25:33,030 --> 01:25:30,960 what causes it to happen but it's 2195 01:25:34,070 --> 01:25:33,040 something it's a natural phenomenon that 2196 01:25:37,189 --> 01:25:34,080 happens 2197 01:25:40,149 --> 01:25:37,199 okay which is another bizarre thing 2198 01:25:41,430 --> 01:25:40,159 but that that actually reminds me of 2199 01:25:44,470 --> 01:25:41,440 sort of the 2200 01:25:46,149 --> 01:25:44,480 another tactic that um skeptics really 2201 01:25:48,390 --> 01:25:46,159 like to employ and i think 2202 01:25:50,709 --> 01:25:48,400 i think um you know a lot of people in 2203 01:25:53,030 --> 01:25:50,719 in the general public too where 2204 01:25:54,629 --> 01:25:53,040 you know they'll take say one or two 2205 01:25:58,709 --> 01:25:54,639 phenomena which were 2206 01:26:00,629 --> 01:25:58,719 thought to be um paranormal or whatever 2207 01:26:03,030 --> 01:26:00,639 and then they get explained and then 2208 01:26:05,350 --> 01:26:03,040 sort of that one example is used as 2209 01:26:07,110 --> 01:26:05,360 as a well they're all explainable like 2210 01:26:08,950 --> 01:26:07,120 they always turn out to be 2211 01:26:11,270 --> 01:26:08,960 something explainable and therefore we 2212 01:26:14,709 --> 01:26:11,280 can kind of forget the whole topic 2213 01:26:15,669 --> 01:26:14,719 um showing that throwing the baby out 2214 01:26:18,310 --> 01:26:15,679 with the bathwater 2215 01:26:20,070 --> 01:26:18,320 basically right right which is not a of 2216 01:26:23,270 --> 01:26:20,080 course is not a scientific attitude 2217 01:26:25,270 --> 01:26:23,280 right uh so 2218 01:26:27,189 --> 01:26:25,280 that's actually one thing i sort of 2219 01:26:29,189 --> 01:26:27,199 argue in the book is that 2220 01:26:31,830 --> 01:26:29,199 scientists don't have a very scientific 2221 01:26:33,430 --> 01:26:31,840 attitude when it comes to this 2222 01:26:36,470 --> 01:26:33,440 when it comes to this whole realm and 2223 01:26:39,590 --> 01:26:36,480 again i don't blame them because 2224 01:26:41,270 --> 01:26:39,600 it's it's a tricky realm and it doesn't 2225 01:26:42,870 --> 01:26:41,280 play by the rules it doesn't play by the 2226 01:26:46,229 --> 01:26:42,880 rule book so 2227 01:26:47,910 --> 01:26:46,239 um and i'm not sure how practical it is 2228 01:26:49,830 --> 01:26:47,920 you know i mean science 2229 01:26:51,030 --> 01:26:49,840 science seems to me largely about 2230 01:26:54,149 --> 01:26:51,040 practical issues 2231 01:26:55,590 --> 01:26:54,159 um and i'm i'm not sure how practical 2232 01:26:57,830 --> 01:26:55,600 any of this stuff is that doesn't mean 2233 01:27:00,550 --> 01:26:57,840 it's again it's not real obviously but 2234 01:27:01,350 --> 01:27:00,560 um so i don't know how fruitful it would 2235 01:27:04,870 --> 01:27:01,360 be 2236 01:27:05,350 --> 01:27:04,880 for scientists to investigate a lot of 2237 01:27:07,350 --> 01:27:05,360 this stuff 2238 01:27:08,550 --> 01:27:07,360 maybe it is i cuz i don't know that much 2239 01:27:11,030 --> 01:27:08,560 about 2240 01:27:12,550 --> 01:27:11,040 like the skinwalker ranch or they're 2241 01:27:15,750 --> 01:27:12,560 apparently 2242 01:27:18,310 --> 01:27:15,760 sending some crews up there but yeah 2243 01:27:20,550 --> 01:27:18,320 well you know it's always about a lot of 2244 01:27:22,870 --> 01:27:20,560 it's about funding and can you 2245 01:27:24,229 --> 01:27:22,880 solve this problem within so many years 2246 01:27:26,950 --> 01:27:24,239 and that's what 2247 01:27:29,270 --> 01:27:26,960 funding is you know the drive to get the 2248 01:27:31,430 --> 01:27:29,280 funding is you have to have an end goal 2249 01:27:33,590 --> 01:27:31,440 so that makes it really difficult we 2250 01:27:37,830 --> 01:27:33,600 have joanie calling from pennsylvania 2251 01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:43,270 joanie you're on the air 2252 01:27:48,550 --> 01:27:46,709 bill all right 2253 01:27:51,030 --> 01:27:48,560 he's part of the call but she's not i 2254 01:27:54,870 --> 01:27:51,040 don't think she's responding 2255 01:27:56,790 --> 01:27:54,880 all right okay so uh will 2256 01:27:59,189 --> 01:27:56,800 you i

exactly where we were because i was just 2263 01:28:18,070 --> 01:28:14,960 took that call 2264 01:28:21,750 --> 01:28:18,080 so so moving on yeah 2265 01:28:25,270 --> 01:28:21,760 moving on the as far as 2266 01:28:27,750 --> 01:28:25,280 um as far as what we see visually 2267 01:28:29,510 --> 01:28:27,760 and we know what's around us there's 2268 01:28:30,550 --> 01:28:29,520 there's that's only just part of what's 2269 01:28:34,070 --> 01:28:30,560 going on 2270 01:28:35,430 --> 01:28:34,080 too you know uh there's probably a lot 2271 01:28:37,750 --> 01:28:35,440 more going around 2272 01:28:38,629 --> 01:28:37,760 on around us that we we're just 2273 01:28:41,990 --> 01:28:38,639 oblivious to 2274 01:28:43,510 --> 01:28:42,000 what do you think about that well there 2275 01:28:46,070 --> 01:28:43,520 definitely is i mean you 2276 01:28:47,669 --> 01:28:46,080 first of all according to science there 2277 01:28:50,070 --> 01:28:47,679 is uh there's 2278 01:28:51,830 --> 01:28:50,080 something like 400 billion little 2279 01:28:53,350 --> 01:28:51,840 particles called neutrinos 2280 01:28:55,189 --> 01:28:53,360 streaming through every square inch of 2281 01:28:57,830 --> 01:28:55,199 our bodies every second 2282 01:28:59,430 --> 01:28:57,840 um and we just are not biologically 2283 01:29:02,470 --> 01:28:59,440 equipped to be aware of that 2284 01:29:05,510 --> 01:29:02,480 thank god uh 2285 01:29:06,550 --> 01:29:05,520 and uh you know there's there's you 2286 01:29:08,390 --> 01:29:06,560 can't see uv 2287 01:29:10,149 --> 01:29:08,400 light you can't see ultraviolet light 2288 01:29:11,830 --> 01:29:10,159 you can't see x-rays you 2289 01:29:14,950 --> 01:29:11,840 you can't see radio waves but they're 2290 01:29:16,550 --> 01:29:14,960 all you know to some extent streaming 2291 01:29:18,229 --> 01:29:16,560 streaming through and around us all the 2292 01:29:21,110 --> 01:29:18,239 time there are 2293 01:29:21,990 --> 01:29:21,120 um you know you're not aware of the of 2294 01:29:23,910 --> 01:29:22,000 the 2295 01:29:25,110 --> 01:29:23,920 trillions of bacteria crawling in in 2296 01:29:27,270 --> 01:29:25,120 your insides 2297 01:29:28,310 --> 01:29:27,280 much less the red blood cells streaming 2298 01:29:29,990 --> 01:29:28,320 through your body 2299 01:29:31,350 --> 01:29:30,000 or the little mites crawling through 2300 01:29:36,070 --> 01:29:31,360 your eyebrows 2301 01:29:39,510 --> 01:29:36,080 or the sounds that your dog can hear 2302 01:29:40,390 --> 01:29:39,520 we we are in a universe that we are not 2303 01:29:42,310 --> 01:29:40,400 aware of 2304 01:29:45,110 --> 01:29:42,320 you know even ask you stuff that science 2305 01:29:46,790 --> 01:29:45,120 can explain so the idea that 2306 01:29:49,510 --> 01:29:46,800 maybe there's other things that are all 2307 01:29:50,950 --> 01:29:49,520 around us that we're not tuned to 2308 01:29:52,709 --> 01:29:50,960 that does not seem like too much of a 2309 01:29:55,270 --> 01:29:52,719 stretch to me 2310 01:29:58,229 --> 01:29:55,280 right i'll be right back i gotta go wash 2311 01:30:03,270 --> 01:30:00,070 yeah sorry yeah sorry to bring that up 2312

01:30:09,920 everything 2316 01:30:14,310 --> 01:30:11,840 around us and you know a lot of these 2317 01:30:17,669 --> 01:30:14,320 ufo sightings that have been 2318 01:30:21,110 --> 01:30:17,679 seen recently um that have 2319 01:30:23,990 --> 01:30:21,120 made a lot of news you know like 2320 01:30:25,350 --> 01:30:24,000 um that are the videos that have been 2321 01:30:26,550 --> 01:30:25,360 released by the government 2322 01:30:28,790 --> 01:30:26,560 saying they don't know what they are 2323 01:30:32,310 --> 01:30:28,800 those three three videos 2324 01:30:34,870 --> 01:30:32,320 um there a lot of them are 2325 01:30:36,390 --> 01:30:34,880 in a different spectrum you know maybe 2326 01:30:38,709 --> 01:30:36,400 these things have been 2327 01:30:40,390 --> 01:30:38,719 all around all the time and we just 2328 01:30:42,149 --> 01:30:40,400 weren't able to see them before 2329 01:30:43,910 --> 01:30:42,159 and speaking of that i also get a lot of 2330 01:30:47,189 --> 01:30:43,920 emails about people saying 2331 01:30:48,550 --> 01:30:47,199 when is the 23 minute video going to be 2332 01:30:52,310 --> 01:30:48,560 released i don't know 2333 01:30:54,149 --> 01:30:52,320 lou elizondo said on a podcast 2334 01:30:55,910 --> 01:30:54,159 a few weeks ago that there was a 2335 01:30:58,149 --> 01:30:55,920 23-minute video 2336 01:30:58,950 --> 01:30:58,159 that was most likely going to be 2337 01:31:02,149 --> 01:30:58,960 released 2338 01:31:03,750 --> 01:31:02,159 with multiple ufos in it and that'll 2339 01:31:05,590 --> 01:31:03,760 that'll be earth shattering when that 2340 01:31:07,750 --> 01:31:05,600 happens like and 2341 01:31:09,110 --> 01:31:07,760 so far everything that he says is going 2342 01:31:12,070 --> 01:31:09,120 to happen happens 2343 01:31:13,750 --> 01:31:12,080 so um hopefully we'll be seeing that 2344 01:31:18,550 --> 01:31:13,760 come out and maybe that'll 2345 01:31:25,830 --> 01:31:21,910 yeah yeah very good 2346

01:32:29,750 --> 01:32:27,760 uh that sounds like a different person 2374 01:32:31,669 --> 01:32:29,760 if if that if um 2375 01:32:33,350 --> 01:32:31,679 over a hundred who ran a marathon 2376 01:32:37,189 --> 01:32:33,360 although maybe he has since 2377 01:32:40,870 --> 01:32:37,199 since i researched him um the uh 2378 01:32:43,910 --> 01:32:40,880 that in the one of my essays i say um 2379 01:32:45,030 --> 01:32:43,920 i say you know science doesn't exist if 2380 01:32:47,750 --> 01:32:45,040 it did 2381 01:32:50,390 --> 01:32:47,760 you would have heard of prahlad jani um 2382 01:32:54,390 --> 01:32:50,400 prahlad jani is a holy man in india 2383 01:32:57,669 --> 01:32:54,400 who claims not to have eaten drunk or 2384 01:33:01,030 --> 01:32:57,679 past waste since 1940 uh 2385 01:33:02,550 --> 01:33:01,040 he was studied in an indian hospital in 2386 01:33:05,590 --> 01:33:02,560 ahmedabad 2387 01:33:06,950 --> 01:33:05,600 um they put him in a room for i can't 2388 01:33:08,470 --> 01:33:06,960 remember the first time something like 2389 01:33:11,750 --> 01:33:08,480 10 days 2390 01:33:12,790 --> 01:33:11,760 and according to this you know all the 2391 01:33:15,350 --> 01:33:12,800 news agencies and 2392 01:33:17,510 --> 01:33:15,360 the doctors he did not eat drink or pass 2393 01:33:18,870 --> 01:33:17,520 waste for the 10 days 2394 01:33:21,110 --> 01:33:18,880 then they brought him back and the 2395 01:33:22,390 --> 01:33:21,120 indian military got you know interested 2396 01:33:26,550 --> 01:33:22,400 and he was in they did 2397 01:33:29,830 --> 01:33:26,560 15 days same results apparently 2398 01:33:31,590 --> 01:33:29,840 according to what i read he emerged um 2399 01:33:34,070 --> 01:33:31,600 they you know did angiographs and all 2400 01:33:35,990 --> 01:33:34,080 that uh in better health than uh someone 2401 01:33:39,669 --> 01:33:36,000 half his age 2402 01:33:41,270 --> 01:33:39,679 um crazy and this is not a unique claim 2403 01:33:43,669 --> 01:33:41,280 there have been other people 2404 01:33:45,189 --> 01:33:43,679 in india and other places in the world 2405 01:33:48,709 --> 01:33:45,199 that say this 2406 01:33:51,030 --> 01:33:48,719 and um so 2407 01:33:53,270 --> 01:33:51,040 you know again if if there was such a 2408 01:33:56,310 --> 01:33:53,280 thing as science 2409 01:33:58,310 --> 01:33:56,320 it would be it it would be 2410 01:33:59,350 --> 01:33:58,320 it would flock to a metabolite india 2411 01:34:01,590 --> 01:33:59,360 because this 2412 01:34:03,669 --> 01:34:01,600 this would be something that questions 2413 01:34:05,510 --> 01:34:03,679 the very fundamentals of biology right 2414 01:34:07,270 --> 01:34:05,520 of biological science 2415 01:34:10,390 --> 01:34:07,280 but since there isn't such a thing as 2416 01:34:12,950 --> 01:34:10,400 science there's only human scientists 2417 01:34:14,310 --> 01:34:12,960 the human scientists you know they're 2418 01:34:14,950 --> 01:34:14,320 gonna either they're not gonna hear 2419 01:34:17,990 --> 01:34:14,960 about it 2420 01:34:19,750 --> 01:34:18,000 say oh yeah right 2421 01:34:22,470 --> 01:34:19,760 um they're not going to get a grant to 2422 01:34:24,790 --> 01:34:22,480 go there it's just all sorts of 2423 01:34:26,310 --> 01:34:24,800 you know very human mundane reasons why 2424 01:34:27,830 --> 01:34:26,320 something like that would not be further 2425 01:34:29,830 --> 01:34:27,840 explored 2426 01:34:31,590 --> 01:34:29,840 and i'm not saying it's definitely true 2427 01:34:33,750 --> 01:34:31,600 or definitely not true 2428 01:34:35,350 --> 01:34:33,760 i'm just saying if there was such a 2429 01:34:37,189 --> 01:34:35,360 thing as just this objective thing 2430 01:34:40,390 --> 01:34:37,199 called science that was interested 2431 01:34:44,070 --> 01:34:40,400 in you know revolutionary ideas 2432 01:34:45,109 --> 01:34:44,080 um we would be studying praladjani until 2433 01:34:47,430 -->

didn't read the book no 2455 01:35:52,790 --> 01:35:51,199 oh well she wrote a very famous book 2456 01:35:55,910 --> 01:35:52,800 called on death and dying 2457 01:35:58,950 --> 01:35:55,920 um which is just about sort of a more 2458 01:36:01,109 --> 01:35:58,960 humanitarian um 2459 01:36:03,189 --> 01:36:01,119 a more humanitarian treatment of people 2460 01:36:04,790 --> 01:36:03,199 in you know who are dying and sort i 2461 01:36:07,750 --> 01:36:04,800 think she sort of 2462 01:36:08,709 --> 01:36:07,760 got the whole hospice movement going but 2463 01:36:12,870 --> 01:36:08,719 um 2464 01:36:16,950 --> 01:36:12,880 so her book made a big splash uh but 2465 01:36:19,990 --> 01:36:16,960 with the the experiences that um 2466 01:36:21,109 --> 01:36:20,000 that catalyzed that book part of what 2467 01:36:24,070 --> 01:36:21,119 she discovered was 2468 01:36:24,470 --> 01:36:24,080 a lot of people as they're nearing death 2469 01:36:26,870 --> 01:36:24,480 have 2470 01:36:28,070 --> 01:36:26,880 lots of you know that a girl was visited 2471 01:36:30,550 --> 01:36:28,080 by a man 2472 01:36:32,229 --> 01:36:30,560 who she described who turned out to 2473 01:36:33,350 --> 01:36:32,239 match the description of a dead uncle 2474 01:36:35,109 --> 01:36:33,360 she'd never met 2475 01:36:38,950 --> 01:36:35,119 another woman talked you know could 2476 01:36:40,629 --> 01:36:38,960 describe the doodles on a nurse's pad um 2477 01:36:43,510 --> 01:36:40,639 that she could see from above you know 2478 01:36:46,310 --> 01:36:43,520 out of her body so elizabeth kubler-ross 2479 01:36:47,430 --> 01:36:46,320 heard all these you know quote crazy 2480 01:36:49,350 --> 01:36:47,440 stories 2481 01:36:50,870 --> 01:36:49,360 that people on their death beds would 2482 01:36:53,990 --> 01:36:50,880 report 2483 01:36:56,550 --> 01:36:54,000 quite compelling and convincing um 2484 01:36:58,310 --> 01:36:56,560 and she just left she she initially 2485 01:37:01,270 --> 01:36:58,320 wrote a whole chapter about that 2486 01:37:01,990 --> 01:37:01,280 and was going to put it in the book um 2487 01:37:03,669 --> 01:37:02,000 but 2488 01:37:05,270 --> 01:37:03,679 when it came time to actually publish 2489 01:37:06,229 --> 01:37:05,280 the book she decided to leave that out 2490 01:37:08,149 --> 01:37:06,239 because 2491 01:37:09,510 --> 01:37:08,159 she realized no one people would just 2492 01:37:12,470 --> 01:37:09,520 write off the whole book as 2493 01:37:14,070 --> 01:37:12,480 nonsense if she included it so you get 2494 01:37:16,070 --> 01:37:14,080 this kind of self-censorship 2495 01:37:17,590 --> 01:37:16,080 too i know this is not exactly what you 2496 01:37:19,430 --> 01:37:17,600 asked me but 2497 01:37:21,669 --> 01:37:19,440 these are this amazing phenomena that 2498 01:37:23,109 --> 01:37:21,679 never even get presented to the public 2499 01:37:24,470 --> 01:37:23,119 because 2500 01:37:26,709 --> 01:37:24,480 these people would like to be taken 2501 01:37:29,030 --> 01:37:26,719 seriously by the establishment 2502 01:37:30,870 --> 01:37:29,040 um i read about that actually in a great 2503 01:37:32,070 --> 01:37:30,880 book called fringeology by a guy named 2504 01:37:34,790 --> 01:37:32,080 steve volk 2505 01:37:38,470 --> 01:37:34,800 you may have heard of that book um i 2506 01:37:41,750 --> 01:37:38,480 highly recommend that that book as well 2507 01:37:42,709 --> 01:37:41,760 yeah um yeah that's that's interesting i 2508 01:37:45,750 --> 01:37:42,719 have heard of 2509 01:37:48,790 --> 01:37:45,760 situations like that and leslie 2510 01:37:51,109 --> 01:37:48,800 kane is someone that has done a lot of 2511 01:37:52,550 --> 01:37:51,119 really good work she's a journalist in 2512 01:37:54,310 --> 01:37:52,560 the ufo world 2513 01:37:56,470 --> 01:37:54,320 and she has written some books and 2514 01:38:00,629 --> 01:37:56,480 actually there was a netflix 2515 01:38:03,430 --> 01:38:00,639 uh series on about about all that 2516 01:38:05,030 --> 01:38:03,440 near-death experiences and the people's 2517 01:38:09,109 --> 01:38:05,040 accounts of them and 2518 01:38:11,590 --> 01:38:09,119 these strange you know past life things 2519 01:38:12,629 --> 01:38:11,600 that uh these are just totally 2520 01:38:15,910 --> 01:38:12,639 unexplainable 2521 01:38:16,870 --> 01:38:15,920 you know i mean no one has any answers 2522 01:38:20,149 --> 01:38:16,880 for 2523 01:38:21,990 --> 01:38:20,159 um some of the situations that that were 2524 01:38:25,350 --> 01:38:22,000 really fascinating some of it 2525 01:38:28,390 --> 01:38:25,360 i i'm not really sure you know whether i 2526 01:38:30,550 --> 01:38:28,400 buy it or not but uh but you know like 2527 01:38:33,350 --> 01:38:30,560 they say in the ufo world if 2528 01:38:35,510 --> 01:38:33,360 it only takes one ufo and the tens or 2529 01:38:37,189 --> 01:38:35,520 thousands or hundreds of thousands of 2530 01:38:38,550 --> 01:38:37,199 ones that are witnesses it only takes 2531 01:38:43,669 --> 01:38:38,560 one to be 2532 01:38:45,510 --> 01:38:43,679 real you know to to change everything 2533 01:38:47,430 --> 01:38:45,520 yeah and one of the things about these 2534 01:38:49,109 --> 01:38:47,440 these you know you hear 2535 01:38:50,550 --> 01:38:49,119 you know maybe you hear something about 2536 01:38:52,229 --> 01:38:50,560 like what i described or you just 2537 01:38:54,790 --> 01:38:52,239 described 2538 01:38:56,629 --> 01:38:54,800 if you hear it in passing in our culture 2539 01:38:58,709 --> 01:38:56,639 it's quite easy to say 2540 01:39:01,109 --> 01:38:58,719 you know oh i'm sure either that was a 2541 01:39:03,990 --> 01:39:01,119 hoax or i don't believe it 2542 01:39:05,030 --> 01:39:04,000 and the the stories that are really 2543 01:39:06,550 --> 01:39:05,040 compelling 2544 01:39:08,310 --> 01:39:06,560 you really have to read about them in 2545 01:39:09,750 --> 01:39:08,320 depth you ha and maybe 2546 01:39:12,229 --> 01:39:09,760 you know watch the person being 2547 01:39:14,070 --> 01:39:12,239 interviewed they're not 2548 01:39:15,750 --> 01:39:14,080 they're they're they're convincing this 2549 01:39:19,109 --> 01:39:15,760 their compelling nature 2550 01:39:20,550 --> 01:39:19,119 comes across through being explored more 2551 01:39:22,310 --> 01:39:20,560 deeply 2552 01:39:24,470 --> 01:39:22,320 the case can't be made in a sort of 2553 01:39:25,830 --> 01:39:24,480 casual off-hand way 2554 01:39:27,669 --> 01:39:25,840 because if you do it that way it just 2555 01:39:31,510 --> 01:39:27,679 sounds crazy in our culture 2556 01:39:34,629 --> 01:39:31,520 and it's very easy to to dismiss so 2557 01:39:37,669 --> 01:39:34,639 you really you have to take the time to 2558 01:39:39,590 --> 01:39:37,679 read in detail to be convinced i just 2559 01:39:40,870 --> 01:39:39,600 think that's the nature of this subject 2560 01:39:43,910 --> 01:39:40,880 it requires 2561 01:39:45,270 --> 01:39:43,920 taking some time to explore it 2562 01:39:47,350 --> 01:39:45,280 you know and if you don't want to take 2563 01:39:50,629 --> 01:39:47,360 the time that's fine 2564 01:39:51,830 --> 01:39:50,639 that's completely understandable 2565 01:39:53,430 --> 01:39:51,840 but i just don't think you're in a 2566 01:39:56,149 --> 01:39:53,440 position to make any judgments unless 2567 01:39:59,590 --> 01:39:56,159 you do take the time 2568 01:40:02,470 --> 01:39:59,600 that's a big problem with so many of 2569 01:40:03,750 --> 01:40:02,480 the people that are skeptics and want to 2570 01:40:07,109 --> 01:40:03,760 say there's nothing to 2571 01:40:07,990 --> 01:40:07,119 this or nothing to that is they never 2572 01:40:12,950 --> 01:40:08,000 take the time 2573 01:40:17,430 --> 01:40:15,830 yeah looks like we're having phone no 2574 01:40:19,109 --> 01:40:17,440 one can call in huh
