00:00:22,490 --> 00:00:09,089
welcome to the skeptic zone the podcast

2
00:00:29,370 --> 00:00:25,260
hello and welcome to the skeptic zone

3
00:00:34,020 --> 00:00:29,380
episode number 375 for the 27th of

4
00:00:38,940 --> 00:00:34,030
December 2015 the last skeptic zone 4

5
00:00:42,180 --> 00:00:38,950
2015 and to round off 2015 we have a

6
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:42,190
special episode of special dr. Carl dr.

7
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:43,930
Cohen are those people in Australia I

8
00:00:49,710 --> 00:00:47,110
don't need any prompting to know who dr.

9
00:00:52,170 --> 00:00:49,720
Carl is for those people listening

10
00:00:55,410 --> 00:00:52,180
internationally who may not caught up

11
00:00:58,860 --> 00:00:55,420
with dr. Carl I guess one way to look at

12
00:01:01,920 --> 00:00:58,870
him is that he's the Australian Bill Nye

13
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:01,930
or Bill Nye is the American dr. Carl

14
00:01:07,530 --> 00:01:04,690
something like that he has been a media

15
00:01:10,859 --> 00:01:07,540
presence in Australian homes for decades

16
00:01:12,930 --> 00:01:10,869
and he always has something interesting

17
00:01:16,109 --> 00:01:12,940
to say a strong supporter of science and

18
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:16,119
indeed he is a previous recipient of

19
00:01:22,039 --> 00:01:19,210
Australian skeptic of the year so this

20
00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:22,049
episode of the skeptic zone is a special

21
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:24,400
conversation with dr. Carl dr. Carl

22
00:01:27,980 --> 00:01:26,650
crucial miss key I caught up with him

23
00:01:31,950 --> 00:01:27,990
just the other day at Sydney University

24
00:01:35,039 --> 00:01:31,960
and we chatted about chocolate naked

25
00:01:37,670 --> 00:01:35,049
mole rats the gullible generation human

26
00:01:41,130 --> 00:01:37,680
evolution DNA Arnold Schwarzenegger and

27
00:01:45,180 --> 00:01:41,140
much more but now it's time for me to

28
00:01:48,630 --> 00:01:45,190
run downstairs make up some chocolate

29
00:01:50,820 --> 00:01:48,640
chip pancakes oh yes well I'm doing that

30
00:02:12,520 --> 00:01:50,830
I hope you enjoy this episode of the

31
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:16,370
so I'm here at Sydney Uni enjoying some

32
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:18,090
chocolate and coffee with none other

33
00:02:23,330 --> 00:02:20,970
than dr. Carl hello dr. Carl Hawaii with

34
00:02:25,010 --> 00:02:23,340
my mouth full of chocolate I have this

35
00:02:27,380 --> 00:02:25,020
perverse thing where I like to maximize

36
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:27,390
the pleasure and so I let it melt in my

37
00:02:33,410 --> 00:02:30,510
mouth now this is one of god's little

38
00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:33,420
jokes again there are six main

39
00:02:37,699 --> 00:02:36,000
crystalline forms of chocolate and the

40
00:02:38,930 --> 00:02:37,709
one that's the most delicious the one of

41
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:38,940
melts in your mouth and there's a range

42
00:02:44,449 --> 00:02:40,290
ranging from Molly in your mouth all the

43
00:02:45,620 --> 00:02:44,459
way to something like candle wax the one

44
00:02:48,350 --> 00:02:45,630
that melts in your mouth is the most

45
00:02:51,470 --> 00:02:48,360
unstable once again got one of god's

46
00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:51,480
little jokes jugaad is just full of it

47
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:53,910
mature audiences yeah really stuffed up

48
00:02:57,830 --> 00:02:55,890
on the knee joint hip joint I can go

49
00:03:00,470 --> 00:02:57,840
with and they joined forget it maybe you

50
00:03:03,770 --> 00:03:00,480
must have a holiday I saw you talking

51
00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:03,780
about the body and things like this I

52
00:03:07,850 --> 00:03:06,000
saw you just the other day on TV talking

53
00:03:10,430 --> 00:03:07,860
about the naked mole rat and immortality

54
00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:10,440
ah now that's after they come all right

55
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:13,920
yeah so what's the deal with the naked

56
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:15,329
mole rat you're saying it's not naked

57
00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:16,890
it's not a mole it's not a rat for

58
00:03:21,860 --> 00:03:18,720
beginners ok it's not naked because it

59
00:03:23,539 --> 00:03:21,870
has hair oh when I say here you know

60
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:23,549
I've got a hundred thousand hairs on our

61
00:03:28,039 --> 00:03:26,910
scholar at least you do and about 5

62
00:03:30,020 --> 00:03:28,049
million all together on your body but

63
00:03:32,150 --> 00:03:30,030
most of them are invisible this is got a

64
00:03:35,330 --> 00:03:32,160
hundred hair's not 100 million 100 so

65
00:03:37,580 --> 00:03:35,340
it's not fully naked as close my all is

66
00:03:39,380 --> 00:03:37,590
on a mole rat it's not a wrap it

67
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:39,390
basically looks like a small sausage

68
00:03:43,550 --> 00:03:41,010
that you cook at a barbecue with saber

69
00:03:45,860 --> 00:03:43,560
teeth on one end mm-hmm and it's really

70
00:03:47,569 --> 00:03:45,870
weird hmm that last bit of shock is

71
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:47,579
coming down nicely there's good

72
00:03:52,940 --> 00:03:50,010
chocolate yeah well in else it's

73
00:03:55,580 --> 00:03:52,950
probably loaded with things but nervous

74
00:03:58,539 --> 00:03:55,590
you know so moving right along the naked

75
00:04:02,539 --> 00:03:58,549
mole rat does not get cancer it does not

76
00:04:07,670 --> 00:04:02,549
get older so you and I a born grow to

77
00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:07,680
adulthood and then the skin goes gets

78
00:04:13,340 --> 00:04:11,040
thinner the muscles weaken the oysters

79
00:04:16,690 --> 00:04:13,350
flexibility they begin to wear out the

80
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:16,700
hair goes the makeup of hormones go

81
00:04:19,319 --> 00:04:18,930
everything gradually was down once

82
00:04:23,689 --> 00:04:19,329
you've

83
00:04:27,179 --> 00:04:23,699
aged peak sexual reproducibility however

84
00:04:29,999 --> 00:04:27,189
with the naked mole rat it sort of grows

85
00:04:33,089 --> 00:04:30,009
by the way for rats of that size rodents

86
00:04:34,860 --> 00:04:33,099
the average age that they get to is

87
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:34,870
about one the half years and then ninety

88
00:04:38,429 --> 00:04:36,849
percent died of cancer hmmm ninety

89
00:04:40,980 --> 00:04:38,439
percent humans about ten to fifteen

90
00:04:44,490 --> 00:04:40,990
percent naked mole rat 0 so they get to

91
00:04:48,179 --> 00:04:44,500
be adults and then they just get older

92
00:04:50,969 --> 00:04:48,189
they do not show any other signs of

93
00:04:53,369 --> 00:04:50,979
aging they just get older and you get

94
00:04:55,770 --> 00:04:53,379
past one and a half years and up to one

95
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:55,780
and a half decades how do you a need

96
00:04:59,490 --> 00:04:58,090
something that doesn't get older if you

97
00:05:00,779 --> 00:04:59,500
come across a naked mall right how would

98
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:00,789
you determine how old it don't know

99
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:02,770
you'd have to look at the literature I

100
00:05:06,689 --> 00:05:04,210
reckon they might put a little Nixon

101
00:05:08,399 --> 00:05:06,699
years or something like that so they'd

102
00:05:10,469 --> 00:05:08,409
have to tag them and keep town some way

103
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:10,479
but they get to be 30 years of age

104
00:05:17,219 --> 00:05:14,710
without any signs of aging 30-34 a

105
00:05:19,559 --> 00:05:17,229
little mammal fredo mountain and no

106
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:19,569
signs of aging and we don't know why and

107
00:05:23,339 --> 00:05:21,490
so do they died we don't know why they

108
00:05:24,869 --> 00:05:23,349
also don't do thermoregulation like you

109
00:05:28,379 --> 00:05:24,879
only I try to keep our temperature

110
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:28,389
constant around 37 there 32 which is the

111
00:05:32,969 --> 00:05:29,849
temperature of where they live which is

112
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:32,979
top right-hand corner of Africa I know

113
00:05:37,379 --> 00:05:35,050
that the geographers I saw having hissy

114
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:37,389
fits at this stage okay the north or

115
00:05:42,170 --> 00:05:39,490
west if you like snow north otago

116
00:05:44,909 --> 00:05:42,180
northeast then livin the high plateaus

117
00:05:46,430 --> 00:05:44,919
underground and they've been there for

118
00:05:48,899 --> 00:05:46,440
about two and half million years and

119
00:05:53,010 --> 00:05:48,909
they just build these tunnels kilometres

120
00:05:54,149 --> 00:05:53,020
long and the as a result have one

121
00:05:57,420 --> 00:05:54,159
quarter of all their muscles in their

122
00:05:58,619 --> 00:05:57,430
jaw we have it in our legs and they just

123
00:06:01,019 --> 00:05:58,629
make these tunnels and then the ground

124
00:06:03,149 --> 00:06:01,029
does their summer irrigation for them

125
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:03,159
they also don't feel chemical pain so

126
00:06:07,649 --> 00:06:05,370
you think what's the chemical pain well

127
00:06:09,540 --> 00:06:07,659
there's different sorts of pain is sharp

128
00:06:11,579 --> 00:06:09,550
pain there's dull pain and there's

129
00:06:13,709 --> 00:06:11,589
chemical pain like burning they don't

130
00:06:15,659 --> 00:06:13,719
get that acid burning pain which is

131
00:06:17,689 --> 00:06:15,669
essential for them because while you and

132
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:17,699
I enjoy in inverted commas and

133
00:06:21,930 --> 00:06:19,810
atmosphere was an in

134
00:06:24,990 --> 00:06:21,940
carbon dioxide level of 400 parts per

135
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:25,000
million they're not 400 there fifty

136
00:06:28,890 --> 00:06:27,250
thousand five percent and you and I

137
00:06:30,570 --> 00:06:28,900
would be very shortly dead from that

138
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:30,580
they don't die from it and that it's

139
00:06:35,970 --> 00:06:32,530
only pain and the relevance of this to

140
00:06:40,350 --> 00:06:35,980
humans is that some of the nerves

141
00:06:44,250 --> 00:06:40,360
associated with post-traumatic pain seem

142
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:44,260
to be chemical sensing nerves if we can

143
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:46,090
understand how they work and don't work

144
00:06:50,909 --> 00:06:48,690
then maybe we can relieve this in humans

145
00:06:52,469 --> 00:06:50,919
there are some sorts of pain that we

146
00:06:55,230 --> 00:06:52,479
cannot relieve in humans unfortunately

147
00:06:56,940 --> 00:06:55,240
and this sort of post-traumatic pain

148
00:06:58,680 --> 00:06:56,950
we've had an injury the injury heals and

149
00:06:59,879 --> 00:06:58,690
still a pain is there there's no point

150
00:07:01,620 --> 00:06:59,889
in having the pain you don't need to

151
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:01,630
have it like a phantom pain our

152
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:03,610
different ago different just woke up a

153
00:07:09,659 --> 00:07:06,250
story on another family that doesn't

154
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:09,669
have pain any pain at all but anyway

155
00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:11,410
this is a source for another time and

156
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:13,889
they don't have any subcutaneous fat and

157
00:07:19,469 --> 00:07:17,650
they live in a weird beehive like

158
00:07:21,930 --> 00:07:19,479
existence where there's one female who

159
00:07:23,610 --> 00:07:21,940
does all of sex or sexing and she has

160
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:23,620
all the babies and nobody else has

161
00:07:26,940 --> 00:07:24,970
babies and everybody's in the hive

162
00:07:28,770 --> 00:07:26,950
structure and they they like bees there

163
00:07:31,850 --> 00:07:28,780
are workers yeah they're like these the

164
00:07:34,170 --> 00:07:31,860
only mammal that does this and then they

165
00:07:36,029 --> 00:07:34,180
don't get cancer we don't know what a

166
00:07:39,029 --> 00:07:36,039
couple of theories we don't know why so

167
00:07:40,350 --> 00:07:39,039
this is just showing that there's so

168
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:40,360
many more exciting things to discover

169
00:07:44,430 --> 00:07:42,970
inside now let's use this as a bit of a

170
00:07:46,620 --> 00:07:44,440
segue we're not talking about animals

171
00:07:49,290 --> 00:07:46,630
that don't get cancer and there's a

172
00:07:51,570 --> 00:07:49,300
common myth out there that sharks don't

173
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:51,580
get cancer which led to people selling

174
00:07:56,909 --> 00:07:54,850
stuff called shock [\h__\h] and tablets or

175
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:56,919
something God so let's use this as a

176
00:08:01,200 --> 00:07:58,330
segue to talk about what you've been

177
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:01,210
talking about lately which is loosely

178
00:08:05,820 --> 00:08:03,250
termed the gullible generation but it

179
00:08:09,890 --> 00:08:05,830
should be the gullible generation yes so

180
00:08:14,250 --> 00:08:09,900
if you go way back to the Great Fire of

181
00:08:17,159 --> 00:08:14,260
Rome and Nero's out of town and then

182
00:08:19,290 --> 00:08:17,169
they're having won their celebrations at

183
00:08:21,810 --> 00:08:19,300
the Circus Maximus if you been to Rome

184
00:08:23,700 --> 00:08:21,820
oh it's amazing oh yeah at the Coliseum

185
00:08:26,190 --> 00:08:23,710
which could take 70,000 people that's

186
00:08:28,620 --> 00:08:26,200
the size almost as the melbourne cricket

187
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:28,630
ground right hmm you can take 70,000

188
00:08:32,969 --> 00:08:29,770
people eat

189
00:08:36,630 --> 00:08:32,979
they had it set up so that in a morning

190
00:08:39,180 --> 00:08:36,640
you could have boat races and Wars so

191
00:08:42,269 --> 00:08:39,190
good yeah and so they could kill each

192
00:08:43,469 --> 00:08:42,279
other and isn't drown after the

193
00:08:45,060 --> 00:08:43,479
amusement of the populace and then

194
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:45,070
everybody go out and have lunch then

195
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:46,930
come back and then be all dry and then

196
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:49,450
you'd have a whole bunch of people fired

197
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:51,250
the gladiators fighting the Lions and

198
00:08:56,670 --> 00:08:53,410
literally people flying through the air

199
00:08:58,410 --> 00:08:56,680
without ropes I heard that they would

200
00:09:01,590 --> 00:08:58,420
get up to extraordinary things are very

201
00:09:02,970 --> 00:09:01,600
creative mmmmmm amazing by the way the

202
00:09:04,769 --> 00:09:02,980
flight through the year without ropes

203
00:09:07,290 --> 00:09:04,779
was very simple they just got some poor

204
00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:07,300
bugger made him wear some wings got him

205
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:08,529
on a catapult him through through the

206
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:11,010
air everything was fine until he landed

207
00:09:16,980 --> 00:09:14,290
but we could laugh Nellie I know this is

208
00:09:19,050 --> 00:09:16,990
tough times but it was 10 times the

209
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:19,060
Coliseum was big the Circus Maximus was

210
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:22,570
bigger 150,000 people it was basically

211
00:09:26,610 --> 00:09:24,370
an oval and people go racing up and down

212
00:09:27,810 --> 00:09:26,620
the oval and around and around and so

213
00:09:29,819 --> 00:09:27,820
they were gearing up for one of the big

214
00:09:31,710 --> 00:09:29,829
circus maximus festivals and they're all

215
00:09:34,079 --> 00:09:31,720
these people selling food on the streets

216
00:09:35,790 --> 00:09:34,089
and it's thought of the fire arose from

217
00:09:38,370 --> 00:09:35,800
one of the food sellers on the streets

218
00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:38,380
hmm Nero's out of town comes back starts

219
00:09:43,079 --> 00:09:41,110
organizing stuff and then all the rumors

220
00:09:45,780 --> 00:09:43,089
start going that he actually said the

221
00:09:48,150 --> 00:09:45,790
fire so that you get land that he could

222
00:09:50,460 --> 00:09:48,160
then use for his own palaces but he

223
00:09:52,050 --> 00:09:50,470
didn't excuse he just kill anybody so

224
00:09:54,329 --> 00:09:52,060
that was one of the first cases i come

225
00:09:56,190 --> 00:09:54,339
across of a whole bunch of different

226
00:09:58,410 --> 00:09:56,200
rumors all of which is agree with each

227
00:10:01,470 --> 00:09:58,420
other about the real of course of what's

228
00:10:03,510 --> 00:10:01,480
going on then we move on some 1600 years

229
00:10:05,490 --> 00:10:03,520
for the great fire of london and there's

230
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:05,500
some poor guy called Richard Herbert so

231
00:10:13,110 --> 00:10:09,130
Richard herbs picked up because he's

232
00:10:14,610 --> 00:10:13,120
both a Catholic which wasn't popular in

233
00:10:16,519 --> 00:10:14,620
England at their time and also a

234
00:10:19,319 --> 00:10:16,529
Frenchman though having this second

235
00:10:20,940 --> 00:10:19,329
anglo-dutch war and the French roll over

236
00:10:23,730 --> 00:10:20,950
the Dutch and so after a little bit of

237
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:23,740
torture he confessed to having started

238
00:10:27,870 --> 00:10:26,110
the fire in Westminster to problems the

239
00:10:30,389 --> 00:10:27,880
fire actually started a bakery in

240
00:10:31,710 --> 00:10:30,399
pudding Lane and thousands of Allah

241
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:31,720
thousands but hundreds of witnesses

242
00:10:37,050 --> 00:10:33,930
attested to this and secondly

243
00:10:38,610 --> 00:10:37,060
Westminster was that no stage infected

244
00:10:40,750 --> 00:10:38,620
by the fire it completely missed out on

245
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:40,760
the fire so they realize that

246
00:10:44,380 --> 00:10:42,290
made a mistake tortured him a bit more

247
00:10:47,650 --> 00:10:44,390
and then he confessed to starting the

248
00:10:49,690 --> 00:10:47,660
fire by throwing a fire grenade through

249
00:10:51,220 --> 00:10:49,700
an open window in the bakery on pudding

250
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:51,230
Lane and the problems was that were

251
00:10:55,810 --> 00:10:54,770
firstly the bakery had no windows

252
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:55,820
secondly he was crippled in his

253
00:10:59,290 --> 00:10:56,930
shoulders so he couldn't throw anything

254
00:11:01,390 --> 00:10:59,300
thirdly he didn't land in the United

255
00:11:04,060 --> 00:11:01,400
Kingdom or the or Great Britain until

256
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:04,070
two days after fire started but he was

257
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:06,770
guilty of being a Catholic and French

258
00:11:11,020 --> 00:11:08,570
and so therefore he got home and the

259
00:11:14,410 --> 00:11:11,030
rumor was so powerful that the populace

260
00:11:16,420 --> 00:11:14,420
was so infuriated with him that as his

261
00:11:19,030 --> 00:11:16,430
body was lowered from the gala as they

262
00:11:20,590 --> 00:11:19,040
tore him apart literally while he was

263
00:11:22,180 --> 00:11:20,600
still sort of twitching away they tore

264
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:22,190
him to pieces nothing's changed I mean

265
00:11:26,550 --> 00:11:23,930
we get these rumors going around

266
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:26,560
especially now in social media and

267
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:29,090
people still would rather cling onto the

268
00:11:32,530 --> 00:11:30,770
first thing they read as fact and and

269
00:11:35,380 --> 00:11:32,540
and then proceed down that line it's

270
00:11:36,910 --> 00:11:35,390
quite staggering it is strange it

271
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:36,920
continues in the Middle Ages like the

272
00:11:40,750 --> 00:11:39,170
classic case or more recently is that

273
00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:40,760
the ancients used to think that the

274
00:11:45,490 --> 00:11:43,310
world was flat if you read my 25th book

275
00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:45,500
that turns out that that was started

276
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:47,510
both simultaneously by coincidence in

277
00:11:52,330 --> 00:11:49,970
both England no in both France and the

278
00:11:54,370 --> 00:11:52,340
United States as an example of hey here

279
00:11:56,860 --> 00:11:54,380
we are in 1880 we are masters of the

280
00:11:58,030 --> 00:11:56,870
universe god we are so sophisticated you

281
00:11:59,470 --> 00:11:58,040
know back in the old days I used to

282
00:12:01,000 --> 00:11:59,480
think the world was flat right and it

283
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:01,010
didn't like anybody who's taking a

284
00:12:04,270 --> 00:12:02,690
sailing boat out to sea yeah and you see

285
00:12:06,340 --> 00:12:04,280
a ship come over the horizon firstly you

286
00:12:07,990 --> 00:12:06,350
see the tip of the mast in easier yo

287
00:12:10,150 --> 00:12:08,000
they knew the world was read that was

288
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:10,160
put to me once it was but somebody said

289
00:12:13,810 --> 00:12:12,110
are you skeptics you think you're so

290
00:12:16,330 --> 00:12:13,820
clever you used you people used to think

291
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:16,340
the world was flat and now I'm shaking

292
00:12:20,650 --> 00:12:18,890
wedding how do I even reply to such a

293
00:12:22,420 --> 00:12:20,660
silly you know he said they're wrong

294
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:22,430
which is hard because then you offend

295
00:12:26,470 --> 00:12:24,890
them and then following 120 years of

296
00:12:28,870 --> 00:12:26,480
letters to the editor the New York Times

297
00:12:30,850 --> 00:12:28,880
beginning in 1880 up to the present a

298
00:12:32,620 --> 00:12:30,860
whole bunch of conspiracy theories come

299
00:12:35,620 --> 00:12:32,630
up near different conspiracy theories

300
00:12:38,110 --> 00:12:35,630
sometimes it's the white sex trade

301
00:12:40,930 --> 00:12:38,120
against innocent females now sometimes

302
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:40,940
as the the big business is trying to

303
00:12:45,730 --> 00:12:43,610
take over the running of the world in

304
00:12:47,470 --> 00:12:45,740
bar fights political influence then it's

305
00:12:49,980 --> 00:12:47,480
the Reds under the bed the Communists

306
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:49,990
and then there's the Japanese men

307
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:52,330
in Chinese menace and then there's a

308
00:12:56,070 --> 00:12:54,730
vietnamese medicine then it's the drug

309
00:12:57,449 --> 00:12:56,080
menace and there's all these conspiracy

310
00:12:58,769 --> 00:12:57,459
theories of pop up and go there and then

311
00:13:01,290 --> 00:12:58,779
there are little spikes in the system

312
00:13:02,970 --> 00:13:01,300
yeah and currently the most popular one

313
00:13:07,290 --> 00:13:02,980
is that the government can't be trusted

314
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:07,300
in anything and so I see the media is

315
00:13:13,019 --> 00:13:11,410
being a way of spreading the myths to

316
00:13:17,269 --> 00:13:13,029
the gold ball more quickly so before it

317
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:17,279
used to take weeks or years like I had a

318
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:19,810
friend who was a car mechanic made of

319
00:13:22,980 --> 00:13:21,850
mine and he was really the car mechanics

320
00:13:25,139 --> 00:13:22,990
are not much into anything else in about

321
00:13:27,090 --> 00:13:25,149
15 years after everybody else he started

322
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:27,100
getting into the big business conspiracy

323
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:30,610
anybody saying oh no that's so 1985 man

324
00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:33,250
to see you 2,000 now and so it does he

325
00:13:37,079 --> 00:13:34,990
have the social media it gets everybody

326
00:13:40,350 --> 00:13:37,089
up to speed immediately yeah yeah yeah

327
00:13:44,010 --> 00:13:40,360
oh and it's so we have a whole bunch of

328
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:44,020
myths and they seem to arise either from

329
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:48,130
the media itself trying to get stories

330
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:51,850
out or from false marketing false

331
00:13:56,370 --> 00:13:54,490
advertising false publicity as well as

332
00:13:58,199 --> 00:13:56,380
human frailties yeah like you've

333
00:14:00,690 --> 00:13:58,209
probably seen the video where there's a

334
00:14:03,780 --> 00:14:00,700
bunch of people playing the game of

335
00:14:05,970 --> 00:14:03,790
american football basketball us and you

336
00:14:07,740 --> 00:14:05,980
gotta count the number of albums a ball

337
00:14:09,329 --> 00:14:07,750
go yeah and you're busy concentrating on

338
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:09,339
how many times as a ball is bounced by

339
00:14:12,090 --> 00:14:11,050
the White team yeah because I trading on

340
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:12,100
what the people and why they're doing

341
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:15,970
and then this black guerilla walks into

342
00:14:18,990 --> 00:14:17,050
the middle like a human in a black

343
00:14:20,970 --> 00:14:19,000
gorilla suit walks through stops face of

344
00:14:22,050 --> 00:14:20,980
the camera bends down bangs himself or

345
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:22,060
herself on the chest and then

346
00:14:25,410 --> 00:14:23,890
straightens up and walks off what's and

347
00:14:27,660 --> 00:14:25,420
half the audience don't see that it

348
00:14:29,010 --> 00:14:27,670
called attention blindness or some

349
00:14:30,660 --> 00:14:29,020
phrase like that way you're so focused

350
00:14:33,210 --> 00:14:30,670
on one thing something else can happen

351
00:14:34,650 --> 00:14:33,220
which is completely not registered on

352
00:14:36,269 --> 00:14:34,660
and that's symptomatic of the fact that

353
00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:36,279
all you see in reality the whole world

354
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:39,910
is and I use the word see literally in

355
00:14:44,460 --> 00:14:42,490
the vision sense all you see is an area

356
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:44,470
the size of your thumbnail when you hold

357
00:14:47,370 --> 00:14:45,850
your arm out so if you get your arm and

358
00:14:49,319 --> 00:14:47,380
hold it all the way out and you look at

359
00:14:52,350 --> 00:14:49,329
your thumb about mostly best part of a

360
00:14:53,850 --> 00:14:52,360
meter away from you that size of the

361
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:53,860
thumbnail is all you see in focus

362
00:14:56,940 --> 00:14:55,570
everything else well you walk in the

363
00:14:59,100 --> 00:14:56,950
room and you your eyes went flicker

364
00:15:01,330 --> 00:14:59,110
flicker flicker Oh cars got pink pipes

365
00:15:03,250 --> 00:15:01,340
in a bright orange office with

366
00:15:05,140 --> 00:15:03,260
basically I saw the cardboard cutouts

367
00:15:07,450 --> 00:15:05,150
behind you that's yeah hang on don't

368
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:07,460
speak just ate a mate she's hot and so

369
00:15:11,740 --> 00:15:09,290
then you flick around and then you build

370
00:15:14,740 --> 00:15:11,750
up this virtual reality yeah all you see

371
00:15:17,290 --> 00:15:14,750
in focus at any given moment sharp 3d

372
00:15:18,970 --> 00:15:17,300
focus is an area the size of your thumb

373
00:15:20,710 --> 00:15:18,980
touches all you really have to write but

374
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:20,720
there you can't your brain cannot handle

375
00:15:26,380 --> 00:15:24,290
anymore no no data there is so huge that

376
00:15:27,790 --> 00:15:26,390
your brain has to simplify it out and

377
00:15:29,980 --> 00:15:27,800
then just to alert you to the fact that

378
00:15:32,260 --> 00:15:29,990
there might be a killer carrot or rabbit

379
00:15:33,910 --> 00:15:32,270
on the side you've got motion to take

380
00:15:36,070 --> 00:15:33,920
divvy up there you see I something's

381
00:15:38,140 --> 00:15:36,080
clicking right field or left field all

382
00:15:39,310 --> 00:15:38,150
swivel over and look at and suddenly

383
00:15:42,190 --> 00:15:39,320
that's where you bring your thumbnail of

384
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:42,200
attention to yeah so the other factor

385
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:44,930
involved in why we go for conspiracy

386
00:15:50,910 --> 00:15:47,510
theories is that not only is our vision

387
00:15:52,930 --> 00:15:50,920
so complex the brain has to do massive

388
00:15:54,190 --> 00:15:52,940
simplifications the whole universe is

389
00:15:56,770 --> 00:15:54,200
complicated and we've got to simplify

390
00:15:59,890 --> 00:15:56,780
everything down and so with regard to

391
00:16:01,720 --> 00:15:59,900
visual illusions I like Carl Tyson

392
00:16:04,990 --> 00:16:01,730
degrassi or degrassi Tyson which one is

393
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:05,000
video Neil like a university guess what

394
00:16:08,350 --> 00:16:06,770
I got one out of three right I can

395
00:16:09,970 --> 00:16:08,360
understand why you mixed up Carl me

396
00:16:12,690 --> 00:16:09,980
because he was a student in Carl seguir

397
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:12,700
ok so he said you shouldn't call them

398
00:16:18,850 --> 00:16:15,290
optical illusions but brain failures and

399
00:16:22,300 --> 00:16:18,860
they are so the basic concept is that

400
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:22,310
the universe is hideously complex and we

401
00:16:25,510 --> 00:16:24,050
just try to make up theories to

402
00:16:28,060 --> 00:16:25,520
understand what's going on and we got

403
00:16:29,740 --> 00:16:28,070
the media and the advertisers and the

404
00:16:33,330 --> 00:16:29,750
people with the vested interest telling

405
00:16:36,580 --> 00:16:33,340
lies to us lateral times and so you know

406
00:16:39,190 --> 00:16:36,590
rather than saying look I know you like

407
00:16:41,710 --> 00:16:39,200
sweet drinks here's a sweet drink drink

408
00:16:43,390 --> 00:16:41,720
coconut water they say oh coconut water

409
00:16:45,580 --> 00:16:43,400
will cure sunstroke civiles varicose

410
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:45,590
veins and cancer and will make your

411
00:16:49,690 --> 00:16:47,450
handwriting better ignore the fact that

412
00:16:52,090 --> 00:16:49,700
as a sweet drink oh okay I'll buy a

413
00:16:54,730 --> 00:16:52,100
cubic meter of coconut water also these

414
00:16:56,650 --> 00:16:54,740
things like the superfood it's it's so

415
00:16:58,450 --> 00:16:56,660
seductive isn't it eat this it's a

416
00:17:00,730 --> 00:16:58,460
superfood by the word server should be

417
00:17:03,620 --> 00:17:00,740
only used in super man's super

418
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:03,630
conductivity maybe

419
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:05,610
the phosphate and superannuation and

420
00:17:10,610 --> 00:17:08,370
that's about it oh I actually went

421
00:17:12,970 --> 00:17:10,620
reading through why chia seeds of super

422
00:17:15,530 --> 00:17:12,980
fit you in purchases is so two years ago

423
00:17:17,420 --> 00:17:15,540
you know what there are so many things

424
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:17,430
that come and go that I can't cry as if

425
00:17:22,220 --> 00:17:19,770
everything cimarex the latest one oh

426
00:17:25,309 --> 00:17:22,230
really give me a break so with the chia

427
00:17:26,900 --> 00:17:25,319
seeds when they came out I went reading

428
00:17:30,340 --> 00:17:26,910
through what they had in them and

429
00:17:33,530 --> 00:17:30,350
they're fairly high in omega-3s which

430
00:17:36,350 --> 00:17:33,540
part of a well-balanced diet but to get

431
00:17:38,150 --> 00:17:36,360
what you need for your daily intake of

432
00:17:40,250 --> 00:17:38,160
the various things that they thought

433
00:17:43,460 --> 00:17:40,260
were very good in it you'd have to eat a

434
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:43,470
hundred grams of these seeds a day now I

435
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:45,570
have cheer seizures for phone co likely

436
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:46,890
tasting i love the way that when you

437
00:17:51,650 --> 00:17:48,930
sprinkle water or yogurt on and they

438
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:51,660
smell they swell by 17 times in volume

439
00:17:55,730 --> 00:17:53,850
and he give this nice gelatinous clearly

440
00:17:57,470 --> 00:17:55,740
and they go between your teeth and then

441
00:18:00,500 --> 00:17:57,480
after you've had them for breakfast so I

442
00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:00,510
cut up fruit and then various nuts and I

443
00:18:03,710 --> 00:18:02,130
have them and then they're between my

444
00:18:06,770 --> 00:18:03,720
teeth annoying the heck out of me and

445
00:18:09,110 --> 00:18:06,780
then it says okay calm use your dental

446
00:18:10,580 --> 00:18:09,120
floss remember and then up for students

447
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:10,590
my dental floss right and I love him for

448
00:18:15,230 --> 00:18:12,690
that but to think that they will cure

449
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:15,240
cancer so sorry it's a complete life but

450
00:18:18,410 --> 00:18:16,530
yeah they just sort of part of a

451
00:18:20,690 --> 00:18:18,420
balanced diet and your drift in and out

452
00:18:23,420 --> 00:18:20,700
of here and this the whole superfood

453
00:18:25,190 --> 00:18:23,430
seeing is crazy i can tell you what the

454
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:25,200

nutters got fats them you need a lot of

459
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:39,150
cash used to make cashew jism ah so what

460
00:18:42,890 --> 00:18:40,650
happens is i read about this in the new

461
00:18:44,950 --> 00:18:42,900
york times a while ago so by the way i

462
00:18:48,290 --> 00:18:44,960
recommend people read this for fun it's

463
00:18:50,540 --> 00:18:48,300
tennis shoes 10 articles free a month or

464
00:18:52,580 --> 00:18:50,550
you put pay 15 bucks and it's all you

465
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:52,590
can eat and they'll talk about how the

466
00:18:59,480 --> 00:18:57,810
various hora column fairy dust drink

467
00:19:01,400 --> 00:18:59,490
manufacturers so I've done geeks with

468
00:19:03,230 --> 00:19:01,410
these people you have the big soft drink

469
00:19:04,970 --> 00:19:03,240
people and they live among themselves

470
00:19:06,740 --> 00:19:04,980
right we just get water and we put a bit

471
00:19:09,590 --> 00:19:06,750
of fairy dust in me in the public fall

472
00:19:12,890 --> 00:19:09,600
for us bloody idiots so the fairy dust

473
00:19:15,450 --> 00:19:12,900
drink manufacturers right they either

474
00:19:18,019 --> 00:19:15,460
big ones have been buying up

475
00:19:20,909 --> 00:19:18,029
the cashew apples around the world so

476
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:20,919
think of a plumber smallish plum so you

477
00:19:24,899 --> 00:19:22,330
can't do this thing that the size of a

478
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:24,909
smallest plum and you rip out the cashew

479
00:19:29,789 --> 00:19:27,610
nut yes you didn't throw the rest of it

480
00:19:31,470 --> 00:19:29,799
away yeah and so what they're doing is

481
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:31,480
buying up the rights for all of these

482
00:19:35,700 --> 00:19:34,330
cashew apples the witch squishy thing

483
00:19:39,149 --> 00:19:35,710
around the cashew nut that you eat is

484
00:19:41,970 --> 00:19:39,159
called the cashew apple and so the drink

485
00:19:43,289 --> 00:19:41,980
people are buying it up and in about six

486
00:19:45,450 --> 00:19:43,299
months to a year you're going to find

487
00:19:47,970 --> 00:19:45,460
that cash you juice causes cures

488
00:19:50,159 --> 00:19:47,980
everything it probably probably has

489
00:19:51,779 --> 00:19:50,169
already the next one so I'm being a

490
00:19:52,980 --> 00:19:51,789
dollar that it'll be the next super

491
00:19:55,950 --> 00:19:52,990
drink that'll come out and people or

492
00:19:57,330 --> 00:19:55,960
fall for it and in dubs you then will be

493
00:19:58,710 --> 00:19:57,340
involved with the market pyramid selling

494
00:20:00,899 --> 00:19:58,720
all the first oh you're getting back to

495
00:20:02,490 --> 00:20:00,909
your statement about the complexity of

496
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:02,500
the universe it is complex and that's

497
00:20:07,620 --> 00:20:04,210
why I have to simplify the complexity of

498
00:20:09,990 --> 00:20:07,630
our modern society is far beyond what we

499
00:20:12,419 --> 00:20:10,000
evolved to do which is living on the

500
00:20:13,799 --> 00:20:12,429
plains and having babies having babe and

501
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:13,809
in making it up babies for the next

502
00:20:17,460 --> 00:20:15,730
generation and that was it because I

503
00:20:20,580 --> 00:20:17,470
live after you 25 consider yourself

504
00:20:23,010 --> 00:20:20,590
lucky yeah yeah so this whole society we

505
00:20:25,110 --> 00:20:23,020
live in and it's increasingly so is far

506
00:20:27,180 --> 00:20:25,120
more complex than than we've been set up

507
00:20:29,820 --> 00:20:27,190
to deal with in a way sure and our

508
00:20:31,470 --> 00:20:29,830
brains are evolving if you read my 36th

509
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:31,480
book house of cars it talks about the

510
00:20:38,039 --> 00:20:35,620
Flynn effect where brains with IQ is

511
00:20:40,710 --> 00:20:38,049
increasing by nine IQ points every

512
00:20:42,090 --> 00:20:40,720
generation and this is by John Flynn

513
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:42,100
who's currently at the University of

514
00:20:47,490 --> 00:20:46,330
Otago and his seminal paper on us he

515
00:20:48,899 --> 00:20:47,500
wasn't the only one of few other people

516
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:48,909
sort of hinted that but he was the first

517
00:20:55,460 --> 00:20:52,330
one to hit a big time he got hold of IQ

518
00:20:58,350 --> 00:20:55,470
records for the United States military

519
00:21:01,409 --> 00:20:58,360
everybody who invented who entered the

520
00:21:04,529 --> 00:21:01,419
United States military from 1932 on had

521
00:21:07,919 --> 00:21:04,539
to do an IQ test and what they found was

522
00:21:10,860 --> 00:21:07,929
the IQ test had to be increasingly made

523
00:21:13,710 --> 00:21:10,870
more difficult because what you do is

524
00:21:16,409 --> 00:21:13,720
you give her an IQ test two I don't

525
00:21:18,060 --> 00:21:16,419
2,000 people or 10,000 people and you're

526
00:21:21,269 --> 00:21:18,070
having their tests of knowledge what's

527
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:21,279
the capital of Mexico and word associate

528
00:21:27,660 --> 00:21:22,690
word link

529
00:21:33,210 --> 00:21:27,670
Wisty test if sandwich is two foot lace

530
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:33,220
so candolyn is to bovine and then yeah

531
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:35,050
matrices and we go what is this

532
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:37,450
expanding series a whole bunch of things

533
00:21:41,970 --> 00:21:40,090
and it's not perfect but it's a good

534
00:21:44,250 --> 00:21:41,980
first approximation and what you do is

535
00:21:46,980 --> 00:21:44,260
you send up so that the average of your

536
00:21:49,140 --> 00:21:46,990
entire population is a hundred so it was

537
00:21:50,670 --> 00:21:49,150
every IQ test every new version that

538
00:21:52,770 --> 00:21:50,680
comes out so i'll pick on one called the

539
00:21:56,010 --> 00:21:52,780
whisk WIC the wechsler intelligence

540
00:21:58,770 --> 00:21:56,020
scale of a at les's and it has been

541
00:22:01,050 --> 00:21:58,780
through whisk and whisk one two three

542
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:01,060
four whatever and the average is a

543
00:22:06,150 --> 00:22:03,040
hundred and you've got two thirds of the

544
00:22:09,870 --> 00:22:06,160
population between 8515 and I'm in there

545
00:22:11,070 --> 00:22:09,880
I'm at 110 so my IQ is just barely above

546
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:11,080
average I'm in there with the great

547
00:22:14,430 --> 00:22:12,730
unwashed at sixty-six percent of

548
00:22:16,650 --> 00:22:14,440
population and by the way just a little

549
00:22:19,650 --> 00:22:16,660
diversion here if anybody tells you

550
00:22:21,210 --> 00:22:19,660
there are Q is 160 Barse is a lie I've

551
00:22:23,250 --> 00:22:21,220
come across a few of them and I don't

552
00:22:24,780 --> 00:22:23,260
know why they love the number 160 but

553
00:22:26,910 --> 00:22:24,790
when you follow it through you finally

554
00:22:29,010 --> 00:22:26,920
just made the number up but anyway

555
00:22:31,050 --> 00:22:29,020
getting back to the IQ test yes and so

556
00:22:32,670 --> 00:22:31,060
they've had to be scaled up words by

557
00:22:34,890 --> 00:22:32,680
nine IQ points every city every

558
00:22:37,710 --> 00:22:34,900
generation it's a lot and it's not just

559
00:22:39,030 --> 00:22:37,720
in America it's in all of the developed

560
00:22:42,090 --> 00:22:39,040
countries of the world this is it a

561
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:42,100
wealthy enough to afford giving out Q

562
00:22:47,730 --> 00:22:45,250
tests to a whole bunch put the pillows

563
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:47,740
pacifica society we can't be evolved in

564
00:22:53,490 --> 00:22:50,890
that right we don't know well i'm using

565
00:22:57,390 --> 00:22:53,500
here as my role model wider definition

566
00:23:01,110 --> 00:22:57,400
of the word Ebola we will evolve

567
00:23:03,150 --> 00:23:01,120
epigenetics I i use Arnold

568
00:23:07,590 --> 00:23:03,160
Schwarzenegger as my role model for

569
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:07,600
advice in things regarding renewable

570
00:23:14,580 --> 00:23:11,290
energy and hard work and he did not

571
00:23:17,670 --> 00:23:14,590
build up his muscles by lying on the

572
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:17,680
lounge watching TV drinking beer and

573
00:23:22,230 --> 00:23:20,290
theeeen I really I really want some

574
00:23:23,460 --> 00:23:22,240
muscles I'll bring more beer no he

575
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:23,470
actually went out and he worked at a

576
00:23:27,030 --> 00:23:24,610
regardless of what else he'd be

577
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:27,040
certainly didn't work at it and what was

578
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:29,410
wonderful about Arnold was that he was

579
00:23:35,250 --> 00:23:33,250
the first poor person who had symmetry

580
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:35,260
so you'll notice that many actors

581
00:23:40,170 --> 00:23:38,410
our short so Tom Cruise for example

582
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:40,180
beautiful symmetry you thought it was

583
00:23:44,970 --> 00:23:43,210
hard to get a big person now to be

584
00:23:47,550 --> 00:23:44,980
symmetrical so you look at his ab dose

585
00:23:49,230 --> 00:23:47,560
from the early days and he's got the six

586
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:49,240
tendinous intersections and they dead

587
00:23:52,740 --> 00:23:51,370
square and he was symmetrical from one

588
00:23:54,180 --> 00:23:52,750
side the body to the other and he was

589
00:23:55,710 --> 00:23:54,190
the first tall person to be able to do

590
00:23:58,560 --> 00:23:55,720
that and if you've seen his movie

591
00:24:00,660 --> 00:23:58,570
pumping iron I have it at home I was

592
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:00,670
great yeah so that's why I know he works

593
00:24:04,380 --> 00:24:02,890
out getting so there's an opening shot

594
00:24:07,290 --> 00:24:04,390
and the camera comes past these

595
00:24:10,470 --> 00:24:07,300
diminutive ladies ballerinas at a ballet

596
00:24:13,470 --> 00:24:10,480
bar and a sort of lady lady lady cameras

597
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:13,480
patty log pad pad pad pad Arnold

598
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:16,690
something is this guy his leg is equal

599
00:24:20,610 --> 00:24:18,850
to their mass right though they must

600
00:24:23,820 --> 00:24:20,620
wait 40 kilograms he's probably 120

601
00:24:25,830 --> 00:24:23,830
right at least he's just huge and he's

602
00:24:27,630 --> 00:24:25,840
working at the ballet bar on top of his

603
00:24:30,300 --> 00:24:27,640
muscle work to try and get himself

604
00:24:33,570 --> 00:24:30,310
symmetrical too square and so in the

605
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:33,580
same way your muscles get bigger if you

606
00:24:39,510 --> 00:24:36,610
work at them so do I think does the

607
00:24:41,970 --> 00:24:39,520
brain and our society is providing the

608
00:24:43,860 --> 00:24:41,980
impetus so you don't pass that on to the

609
00:24:46,590 --> 00:24:43,870
next generation the society still

610
00:24:48,330 --> 00:24:46,600
connected oh well firstly you can why we

611
00:24:50,700 --> 00:24:48,340
already can via epigenetics you know the

612
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:50,710
Dutch hunger winter remote that will

613
00:24:55,620 --> 00:24:53,170
come back there but the Society of sub

614
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:55,630
is continually changing and so to chain

615
00:24:59,160 --> 00:24:57,610
know the answer is we don't know but

616
00:25:00,930 --> 00:24:59,170
here's two possible things number one

617
00:25:03,120 --> 00:25:00,940
back in the year nineteen hundred only

618
00:25:06,210 --> 00:25:03,130
three percent of people had jobs where

619
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:06,220
they sat down and thought hmm and then

620
00:25:09,030 --> 00:25:07,450
they told the other ninety seven percent

621
00:25:12,990 --> 00:25:09,040
you go over there pick a little Vincent

622
00:25:14,670 --> 00:25:13,000
cameras nowadays 35% number two the

623
00:25:17,010 --> 00:25:14,680
world has become more abstract you go to

624
00:25:19,380 --> 00:25:17,020
a kid of 1900 you say hey kid if 1900

625
00:25:21,750 --> 00:25:19,390
cat dog tell me what's happening with a

626
00:25:24,300 --> 00:25:21,760
cat and a dog and the kiddo go the dog

627
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:24,310
chases the cat today the kid will say

628
00:25:28,620 --> 00:25:26,170
well obviously they're both mammals yes

629
00:25:33,150 --> 00:25:28,630
so this is Zoe and the other factor is

630
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:33,160
the epigenetic so where changes can be

631
00:25:37,830 --> 00:25:34,930
passed from generation to generation

632
00:25:39,870 --> 00:25:37,840
which almost sounds like Y Cinco ism so

633
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:39,880
the DNA doesn't change but the way that

634
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:40,690
it is red

635
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:42,690
and this was seen in the various

636
00:25:47,310 --> 00:25:45,370
Scandinavian hunger winters but more

637
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:47,320
recently the Dutch hunger winter there's

638
00:25:51,660 --> 00:25:49,810
a movie called a bridge too far about

639
00:25:53,310 --> 00:25:51,670
the Second World War we're trying to get

640
00:25:56,070 --> 00:25:53,320
to a bridge in Arnhem as in Arnhem Land

641
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:56,080
but in this case in Holland Holland so

642
00:26:00,750 --> 00:25:58,330
the Second World War the tide has turned

643
00:26:01,980 --> 00:26:00,760
against the Nazis the Allies have hit

644
00:26:03,510 --> 00:26:01,990
the mainland of Europe they're heading

645
00:26:04,590 --> 00:26:03,520
for this bridge in Holland they're

646
00:26:06,630 --> 00:26:04,600
trying to get there before we do they

647
00:26:07,980 --> 00:26:06,640
don't get there but to help them the

648
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:07,990
Dutch rise up against the nazi

649
00:26:12,810 --> 00:26:11,050
oppressors the Allies don't get there

650
00:26:16,470 --> 00:26:12,820
everybody stuck for winter it's an in

651
00:26:19,290 --> 00:26:16,480
commonly savage winter and then the the

652
00:26:21,210 --> 00:26:19,300
Nazis punish the Dutch by starving them

653
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:21,220
and many people die and as you would

654
00:26:24,900 --> 00:26:23,050
expect in addition to people dying the

655
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:24,910
old and the frail died the young and the

656
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:27,490
frail die and women who are pregnant if

657
00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:29,770
they can survive give birth the smaller

658
00:26:33,060 --> 00:26:31,510
babies there's no surprise it's terrible

659
00:26:34,950 --> 00:26:33,070
there's no surprise what is surprising

660
00:26:37,590 --> 00:26:34,960
is when those babies grew up as women

661
00:26:39,540 --> 00:26:37,600
and had babies they had smaller babies

662
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:39,550
and it continued to the next generation

663
00:26:45,180 --> 00:26:42,730
and this is called epigenetics so think

664
00:26:46,470 --> 00:26:45,190
of the DNA and there are hundreds of

665
00:26:47,970 --> 00:26:46,480
ways to think of it but in this is

666
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:47,980
simplify thinking of the DNA as a

667
00:26:53,790 --> 00:26:52,210
blueprint and you choose to read this

668
00:26:56,070 --> 00:26:53,800
part of the blueprint differently so the

669
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:56,080
blueprint is still there and it's called

670
00:27:00,540 --> 00:26:58,330
epigenetics and one form of epigenetics

671
00:27:03,660 --> 00:27:00,550
ebi means around genetics is genetics is

672
00:27:05,820 --> 00:27:03,670
that you put methyl groups on two parts

673
00:27:09,420 --> 00:27:05,830
of the DNA and that affects how they're

674
00:27:12,450 --> 00:27:09,430
red and so it might be that in your case

675
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:12,460
at a certain stage the volume knob for

676
00:27:18,270 --> 00:27:14,770
producing growth hormone was turned on

677
00:27:21,540 --> 00:27:18,280
and yet for these babies they've still

678
00:27:24,630 --> 00:27:21,550
got the part of the brain that makes

679
00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:24,640
growth hormone but the volume knob was

680
00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:27,130
turned out so there was a methyl group

681
00:27:31,530 --> 00:27:28,990
stuck on to the bit of the DNA saying

682
00:27:34,470 --> 00:27:31,540
from the mother but this is a bad time

683
00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:34,480
to grow babies I'm going to make you

684
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:36,130
small as well and you make your children

685
00:27:40,050 --> 00:27:37,210
small and after a couple of generations

686
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:40,060
you'll revert to the mean so there is a

687
00:27:44,820 --> 00:27:41,890
sort of life singer

688
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:44,830
the reason that license is another

689
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:48,250
diversion here this inheritance of

690
00:27:53,100 --> 00:27:51,730
acquired characteristics it was poo

691
00:27:54,870 --> 00:27:53,110
pooed and laughed at you know because I

692
00:27:57,210 --> 00:27:54,880
said oh what the giraffe got call

693
00:27:58,680 --> 00:27:57,220
because he kept on stretching it yes I

694
00:28:01,980 --> 00:27:58,690
kept on reading of the Torah leads and

695
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:01,990
it was especially loved by the Soviet

696
00:28:05,550 --> 00:28:03,970
Union and this actually led to massive

697
00:28:09,090 --> 00:28:05,560
crop failures because I was just wrong

698
00:28:12,660 --> 00:28:09,100
and I Cinco was loved be by Starlin

699
00:28:15,930 --> 00:28:12,670
because what he was saying was if we can

700
00:28:17,910 --> 00:28:15,940
apply changes to the populace we will

701
00:28:19,620 --> 00:28:17,920
then get them giving birth to better

702
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:19,630
babies and we will overcome the evil

703
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:21,850
decadent West the inheritance of

704
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:25,690
acquired characteristics so it does turn

705
00:28:30,930 --> 00:28:28,210
out that you can get that happening and

706
00:28:33,570 --> 00:28:30,940
so now you need to a week to grieve via

707
00:28:38,250 --> 00:28:33,580
this epigenetic phenomena an overweight

708
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:38,260
father can give birth to cookin father a

709
00:28:43,530 --> 00:28:39,850
child would be more likely to be

710
00:28:47,670 --> 00:28:43,540
overweight a woman who grows up entirely

711
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:47,680
in a very smoky atmosphere and the day

712
00:28:52,950 --> 00:28:50,770
before the baby is born moves to

713
00:28:55,380 --> 00:28:52,960
beautifully clean air she's moving from

714
00:28:58,650 --> 00:28:55,390
an area with high asthma too low asthma

715
00:29:00,750 --> 00:28:58,660
but her baby carries the risk of high

716
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:00,760
asthma it is born as though it is still

717
00:29:04,290 --> 00:29:03,130
and when it's born it has asthma the

718
00:29:05,430 --> 00:29:04,300
Raiders olds living in a dirty

719
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:05,440
environment even though I was living in

720
00:29:09,450 --> 00:29:07,690
a clean environment so the dirty air

721
00:29:12,510 --> 00:29:09,460
that comes into the lungs of the mother

722
00:29:16,770 --> 00:29:12,520
somehow then goes through the umbilical

723
00:29:18,450 --> 00:29:16,780
cord onto the baby's DNA and then adds

724
00:29:20,670 --> 00:29:18,460
we thought because we're not talking

725
00:29:22,110 --> 00:29:20,680
about epigenetics being involved with

726
00:29:23,460 --> 00:29:22,120
methyl groups will discover that there's

727
00:29:25,860 --> 00:29:23,470
more than just my soul groups I'll be

728
00:29:28,020 --> 00:29:25,870
bloody everything but at least in a

729
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:28,030
simple form they change it changes how

730
00:29:31,860 --> 00:29:30,010
the baby's DNA is red so it's more

731
00:29:33,420 --> 00:29:31,870
likely to have asthma doing in fact that

732
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:33,430
in mind that there is no such diseases

733
00:29:37,020 --> 00:29:35,170
of asthma is a symptom on disease but

734
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:37,030
that's too complicated we're talking

735
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:38,530
then about conspiracy theory well yeah

736
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:40,090
right so the world is complicated and

737
00:29:44,460 --> 00:29:41,770
we'll just go to do an example here

738
00:29:47,250 --> 00:29:44,470
about how our own brains to simplify

739
00:29:48,930 --> 00:29:47,260
things create conspiracies hmmm so this

740
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:48,940
is the godfather thing in America

741
00:29:52,950 --> 00:29:50,410
there's a piece of chain called The

742
00:29:54,340 --> 00:29:52,960
Godfather been around for a while it's a

743
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:54,350
chain it sells Pete

744
00:30:00,500 --> 00:29:56,730
you're like pieces from a chain their

745
00:30:05,750 --> 00:30:00,510
pizza from a chain and in two thousand

746
00:30:07,730 --> 00:30:05,760
eleven and twelve the guy Kane CA I am

747
00:30:10,010 --> 00:30:07,740
NOT McCain McCain Matthew Kane somebody

748
00:30:14,810 --> 00:30:10,020
came he decided he would run for the

749
00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:14,820
Republican nominee for being put forward

750
00:30:17,690 --> 00:30:16,110
by the Republicans as their candidate

751
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:17,700
for being a president and he sort of

752
00:30:23,330 --> 00:30:20,130
blossomed for a while then fade away and

753
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:23,340
it turned out that came to the public no

754
00:30:28,430 --> 00:30:26,730
knowledge that 15 years earlier one and

755
00:30:31,310 --> 00:30:28,440
a half decades earlier he had been the

756
00:30:33,170 --> 00:30:31,320
CEO of Godfather pizzas then there so

757
00:30:34,790 --> 00:30:33,180
they kind of a survey and it was found

758
00:30:37,220 --> 00:30:34,800
that if you were a Republican you

759
00:30:39,410 --> 00:30:37,230
thought that by day god dammit these

760
00:30:40,940 --> 00:30:39,420
Godfather pieces taste better than ever

761
00:30:43,910 --> 00:30:40,950
if you were Democrat you thought they

762
00:30:46,250 --> 00:30:43,920
were worse obviously go the same they

763
00:30:47,870 --> 00:30:46,260
didn't sort of pick out the encoding

764
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:47,880
demographic of each person and throw

765
00:30:52,010 --> 00:30:49,170
anchovies into one and mud into the

766
00:30:54,260 --> 00:30:52,020
other so just shows you how something as

767
00:30:56,270 --> 00:30:54,270
simple as a political thing chair

768
00:30:58,100 --> 00:30:56,280
political alliance change debut believe

769
00:31:00,140 --> 00:30:58,110
so a random person comes in through the

770
00:31:02,810 --> 00:31:00,150
door and suppose you've got on their

771
00:31:05,210 --> 00:31:02,820
chest a little badge saying young Labour

772
00:31:07,730 --> 00:31:05,220
Party young green party young liberal

773
00:31:10,370 --> 00:31:07,740
party it will affect how you deal with

774
00:31:13,460 --> 00:31:10,380
them and it shouldn't it shouldn't it

775
00:31:15,740 --> 00:31:13,470
surely does well it's up to us to over

776
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:15,750

and so we're back here with dr. khalid

811
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:37,290
taking a nice little break here at the

812
00:33:40,790 --> 00:33:39,090
sydney university just before christmas

813
00:33:43,430 --> 00:33:40,800
time Carl we're talking about how

814
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:43,440
complex society is in the universe in

815
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:46,230
general we just happen to be a poor saps

816
00:33:52,220 --> 00:33:48,570
caught up along with the flow of things

817
00:33:55,220 --> 00:33:52,230
and we're looking at ways than in which

818
00:33:58,490 --> 00:33:55,230
we can arm ourselves prepare ourselves

819
00:34:00,350 --> 00:33:58,500
and which brings me naturally onto

820
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:00,360
skepticism and why people are skeptical

821
00:34:05,390 --> 00:34:02,370
and how that helps what's your take on

822
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:05,400
them well basically I'm not very deep

823
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:07,170
I'm fairly good at recognizing people

824
00:34:14,180 --> 00:34:09,450
who are so let me give you one quote

825
00:34:17,390 --> 00:34:14,190
from Alexander Pope who this guy from

826
00:34:19,940 --> 00:34:17,400
the past you know Phil's rush in where

827
00:34:22,250 --> 00:34:19,950
angels fear true yeah that's right so

828
00:34:25,010 --> 00:34:22,260
that's him he said a little learning is

829
00:34:28,340 --> 00:34:25,020
a dangerous thing he was a guy and he

830
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:28,350
said drink deep and then he gives

831
00:34:32,060 --> 00:34:30,570
alternative or taste not either one of

832
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:32,070
the other either drink deeply or don't

833
00:34:36,650 --> 00:34:34,770
even go in there the perience spring

834
00:34:38,750 --> 00:34:36,660
that was a spring in Greece Macedonia

835
00:34:40,250 --> 00:34:38,760
where you would drink of it and you

836
00:34:42,410 --> 00:34:40,260
would get knowledge knowledge even if it

837
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:42,420
be not Granger it's a drink not yeah

838
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:45,090
drink deep or taste not yeah the period

839
00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:47,330
spring the puter stream because they're

840
00:34:53,030 --> 00:34:50,730
shallow drafts intoxicate the brain so

841
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:53,040
if you just sort of get a little tiny

842
00:34:59,480 --> 00:34:54,810
fact a little intoxicated brain like for

843
00:35:01,790 --> 00:34:59,490
example the quack of a duck does not

844
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:01,800
echo wow this object clear it's rice

845
00:35:10,010 --> 00:35:05,810
yeah shallow-draft intoxicate the brain

846
00:35:11,510 --> 00:35:10,020
but drinking deeply largely you know

847
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:11,520
this is again yeah so if you drink

848
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:14,490
deeply if you get true knowledge you'll

849
00:35:20,030 --> 00:35:16,530
find the des another case so in fact

850
00:35:22,250 --> 00:35:20,040
with ducks and duck farms all you have

851
00:35:26,810 --> 00:35:22,260
to do is bring up a duck farm and it's a

852
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:26,820
mate do they do they echo and like a yes

853
00:35:31,700 --> 00:35:29,610
they're really annoying and the reason

854
00:35:34,130 --> 00:35:31,710
it is such a funny sentence is that the

855
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:34,140
words duck and quack I've got that it

856
00:35:37,610 --> 00:35:36,570
okay here the letter K it makes you

857
00:35:39,380 --> 00:35:37,620
smart because you're thinking you're

858
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:39,390
mouthing it out yourself and to say that

859
00:35:44,620 --> 00:35:41,970
it a que you have to put your lips wide

860
00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:44,630
and that's what you do when you smile so

861
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:47,250
order they they love comedians love

862
00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:49,890
chucking the K into a word to make you

863
00:35:56,090 --> 00:35:52,250
laugh so that's one the other thing is

864
00:35:58,910 --> 00:35:56,100
there is another way of being skip

865
00:36:00,790 --> 00:35:58,920
avoiding being fooled and has to tidy up

866
00:36:04,910 --> 00:36:00,800
the place so they did a study where they

867
00:36:07,130 --> 00:36:04,920
had a whole bunch of pictures doc

868
00:36:09,470 --> 00:36:07,140
pictures on the screen and some of them

869
00:36:11,300 --> 00:36:09,480
you can see I there's a chair or that's

870
00:36:12,650 --> 00:36:11,310
a roof of a house and some of them were

871
00:36:15,380 --> 00:36:12,660
just crap there was nothing there at all

872
00:36:16,370 --> 00:36:15,390
I was just purely random and now some of

873
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:16,380
them deliberately had information

874
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:18,090
something not and then halfway through

875
00:36:22,190 --> 00:36:20,370
the computer failed which is all planned

876
00:36:24,350 --> 00:36:22,200
and I said I look I'm sorry Richard

877
00:36:25,700 --> 00:36:24,360
Lucas will go to another room and then

878
00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:25,710
you go to another room and there'd be

879
00:36:30,380 --> 00:36:28,380
another computer and the desk that the

880
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:30,390
computer was sitting on was really full

881
00:36:36,110 --> 00:36:32,610
of crap and mess and yesterday's lunch

882
00:36:38,090 --> 00:36:36,120
and either they say oh let's just get

883
00:36:40,790 --> 00:36:38,100
into it and if they said let's just get

884
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:40,800
into it in the images that were purely

885
00:36:45,830 --> 00:36:43,530
random you would see images that were

886
00:36:48,140 --> 00:36:45,840
not there but if they say oh look which

887
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:48,150
you can use a hand this is really help

888
00:36:52,580 --> 00:36:49,410
us clear but they say you clear my desk

889
00:36:54,770 --> 00:36:52,590
and when you created a bit of order then

890
00:36:56,720 --> 00:36:54,780
you wouldn't try to create order by

891
00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:56,730
seeing images that weren't there this is

892
00:37:01,160 --> 00:36:58,170
like fooling with your parrot all your

893
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:01,170
sensor maybe yeah Fotolia is the seeing

894
00:37:06,260 --> 00:37:03,930
of images and randomness making patterns

895
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:06,270
out of right yes so here's one thing if

896
00:37:10,970 --> 00:37:09,210
somebody says to you hey the World Trade

897
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:10,980
Center was brought down by the US

898
00:37:14,420 --> 00:37:12,810
government quickly go and tidy up your

899
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:14,430
room and they say I can ever tell that

900
00:37:19,130 --> 00:37:17,610
to me again with you so if you created

901
00:37:21,410 --> 00:37:19,140
some water you'll is likely to believe

902
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:21,420
crap or try to find all with is not yeah

903
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:25,530
another one is that it's good to be able

904
00:37:31,430 --> 00:37:29,130
to see reality is going back to

905
00:37:34,940 --> 00:37:31,440
Alexander Pope because then you can both

906
00:37:35,770 --> 00:37:34,950
avoid paranoia and build up trust and

907
00:37:38,260 --> 00:37:35,780
then become

908
00:37:40,330 --> 00:37:38,270
part of a society where we all work

909
00:37:42,220 --> 00:37:40,340
together rather than miss trusting each

910
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:42,230
other and by the way you can fool me you

911
00:37:46,180 --> 00:37:43,850
could tell me that your name is really

912
00:37:48,070 --> 00:37:46,190
bright and rather than Richard and I

913
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:48,080
would believe you now the session of

914
00:37:51,970 --> 00:37:50,330
default positions of humans yes and we

915
00:37:53,740 --> 00:37:51,980
believe what we hear you generally

916
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:53,750
speaking that gets us through we have to

917
00:37:57,430 --> 00:37:55,610
use it because we can't doubt everything

918
00:38:00,280 --> 00:37:57,440
and we have to be as a group because

919
00:38:01,810 --> 00:38:00,290
we're so weak so I'm staring at my

920
00:38:04,690 --> 00:38:01,820
fingernails right now and they are the

921
00:38:06,910 --> 00:38:04,700
most pathetic claws yes right my teeth

922
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:06,920
your teeth you could give me a nasty

923
00:38:10,180 --> 00:38:08,810
bite you but you're not like a dog which

924
00:38:13,150 --> 00:38:10,190
could sort of rittman when they can

925
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:13,160
drive your eyes and nowhere near as

926
00:38:18,250 --> 00:38:16,370
sharp as that of an eagle your fin your

927
00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:18,260
your skin is nowhere near as good as a

928
00:38:21,010 --> 00:38:19,730
cow which you can sort of brush up

929
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:21,020
against a barbed wire fence you and I

930
00:38:25,870 --> 00:38:22,490
would start leaking red stuff everywhere

931
00:38:27,700 --> 00:38:25,880
right so we need to have this language

932
00:38:31,060 --> 00:38:27,710
so we can form a group to go with our

933
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:31,070
brain so there is this evolutionary

934
00:38:34,870 --> 00:38:33,230
pressure that we stick together as a

935
00:38:37,990 --> 00:38:34,880
group because that makes us strong and

936
00:38:39,850 --> 00:38:38,000
we have the psychopathic ones which I

937
00:38:41,140 --> 00:38:39,860
talk about my 32nd book who take

938
00:38:43,090 --> 00:38:41,150
advantage of that but the other always

939
00:38:45,460 --> 00:38:43,100
been around okay no the second thing is

940
00:38:48,190 --> 00:38:45,470
this sentence from Sir Francis Bacon was

941
00:38:49,810 --> 00:38:48,200
this little rhyme if a man shall begin

942
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:49,820
with certainties and he means woman of

943
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:53,090
course he shall Indian doubts but if he

944
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:56,330
will be content to begin with doubts he

945
00:38:58,840 --> 00:38:57,650
shall end in certainty so he started

946
00:39:01,060 --> 00:38:58,850
saying I don't really know what's going

947
00:39:03,610 --> 00:39:01,070
on well but I'm going to go and look at

948
00:39:05,410 --> 00:39:03,620
this thoroughly as opposed to gia says

949
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:05,420
here on the computer screen that the

950
00:39:09,070 --> 00:39:07,370
World Trade building was brought down by

951
00:39:10,930 --> 00:39:09,080
the United States government it must be

952
00:39:12,490 --> 00:39:10,940
true yes therefore I will adjust

953
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:12,500
everything to fit in with their belief

954
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:14,930
right so start with doubt yeah and then

955
00:39:17,830 --> 00:39:16,130
work your way through the traumas that

956
00:39:19,750 --> 00:39:17,840
takes time it takes time yes and wasn't

957
00:39:22,270 --> 00:39:19,760
it and then there's a problem there in

958
00:39:24,250 --> 00:39:22,280
the way in a world where the money is

959
00:39:26,290 --> 00:39:24,260
being concentrated in the hands of the

960
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:26,300
wealthy so the poor buggers are working

961
00:39:30,130 --> 00:39:28,370
lamba as an example I've been reading

962
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:30,140
science fiction books were at the rate

963
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:31,850
of one book every day from when I was 16

964
00:39:35,110 --> 00:39:33,530
to it was about 32 and I had to stop

965
00:39:36,550 --> 00:39:35,120
when I started studying medicine because

966
00:39:39,550 --> 00:39:36,560
the body of knowledge I had to bring my

967
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:39,560
head was so huge but always in the

968
00:39:42,970 --> 00:39:40,970
future there will be robots and

969
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:42,980
computers and we would have all his

970
00:39:48,970 --> 00:39:46,130
leisure time but instead we're working

971
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:48,980
longer when I was a kid you could

972
00:39:56,770 --> 00:39:54,050
run a family on one adults wage and buy

973
00:39:58,510 --> 00:39:56,780
a car buy some land a house and have a

974
00:40:00,070 --> 00:39:58,520
holiday once a year nowadays you're both

975
00:40:02,290 --> 00:40:00,080
parents working they're working not just

976
00:40:05,109 --> 00:40:02,300
40 or 37 half hours a week but much

977
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:05,119
longer and they got toys like thin

978
00:40:09,490 --> 00:40:07,010
screen TVs but the important things like

979
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:09,500
education are much more expensive who

980
00:40:13,599 --> 00:40:11,330
have been conned and there's this shift

981
00:40:15,550 --> 00:40:13,609
of money which I wrote about in my 36th

982
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:15,560
book or thirty fourth book about is

983
00:40:20,410 --> 00:40:18,410
called the one percent and so the

984
00:40:23,740 --> 00:40:20,420
perrito effect and the money going from

985
00:40:26,770 --> 00:40:23,750
the poor to the wealthy and the perrito

986
00:40:28,930 --> 00:40:26,780
was this guy who is a economist and

987
00:40:30,490 --> 00:40:28,940
engineer and sculptor and powered in the

988
00:40:32,170 --> 00:40:30,500
early nineteen hundreds and he did some

989
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:32,180
statistics and he worked out that in

990
00:40:37,390 --> 00:40:34,970
most countries around the world about

991
00:40:39,370 --> 00:40:37,400
twenty percent the population had eighty

992
00:40:42,790 --> 00:40:39,380
percent of the wealth which is a bit

993
00:40:45,940 --> 00:40:42,800
unfair but firstly it didn't matter

994
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:45,950
providing that country had an effective

995
00:40:51,910 --> 00:40:50,090
healthcare system and a just legal

996
00:40:54,340 --> 00:40:51,920
system and a good education system so

997
00:40:56,650 --> 00:40:54,350
that your kids and my kids could both

998
00:40:58,570 --> 00:40:56,660
get access to the important things and

999
00:41:00,250 --> 00:40:58,580
if you killed off that twenty percent

1000
00:41:02,020 --> 00:41:00,260
another twenty percent would rise and

1001
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:02,030
take over what we're looking at now is

1002
00:41:11,190 --> 00:41:05,090
not 2080 but we're looking at 199 and so

1003
00:41:14,890 --> 00:41:11,200
in january twenty last year which was

1004
00:41:17,290 --> 00:41:14,900
2014 Oxfam came out with a figure saying

1005
00:41:18,460 --> 00:41:17,300
that to equal the wealth of the bottom

1006
00:41:20,620 --> 00:41:18,470
half of the world three and a half

1007
00:41:24,670 --> 00:41:20,630
billion people you needed 85

1008
00:41:28,330 --> 00:41:24,680
billionaires hmm by march two months

1009
00:41:30,550 --> 00:41:28,340
later it had dropped a 65 so you needed

1010
00:41:32,830 --> 00:41:30,560
20 roughly 20 fewer billionaires to

1011
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:32,840
equal a wealth so this the money being

1012
00:41:35,410 --> 00:41:34,130
funneled across and people are working

1013
00:41:37,599 --> 00:41:35,420
such long hours they don't have the time

1014
00:41:38,890 --> 00:41:37,609
to think about it so when I go to the

1015
00:41:41,109 --> 00:41:38,900
airport there's this woman called Mary

1016
00:41:42,849 --> 00:41:41,119
who loves to search my bags and make

1017
00:41:44,620 --> 00:41:42,859
jokes me about what new shirts I'm

1018
00:41:46,859 --> 00:41:44,630
carrying with me and what my wife does I

1019
00:41:49,570 --> 00:41:46,869
said but it may happen I never see you

1020
00:41:50,770 --> 00:41:49,580
in the in the mornings I'm only seeing

1021
00:41:54,220 --> 00:41:50,780
you at night and she's all well what

1022
00:41:56,020 --> 00:41:54,230
happens is that I work from midday till

1023
00:41:57,820 --> 00:41:56,030
four o'clock in the afternoon I go home

1024
00:41:59,349 --> 00:41:57,830
and over there in time for the way at

1025
00:42:01,760 --> 00:41:59,359
mistakes and then I admit the kids and

1026
00:42:03,740 --> 00:42:01,770
then I'm with them

1027
00:42:05,870 --> 00:42:03,750
all 7 30 then my husband comes home

1028
00:42:07,940 --> 00:42:05,880
because he's working 10 hour shifts as a

1029
00:42:10,370 --> 00:42:07,950
car mechanic and then I go out and I

1030
00:42:11,930 --> 00:42:10,380
work from eight o'clock at night till

1031
00:42:13,220 --> 00:42:11,940
three o'clock in the morning they'll go

1032
00:42:15,260 --> 00:42:13,230
straight from there to another job at

1033
00:42:20,780 --> 00:42:15,270
the airport so you've got a family of

1034
00:42:23,270 --> 00:42:20,790
two parents working three jobs and not

1035
00:42:24,860 --> 00:42:23,280
able to but they've got a car because

1036
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:24,870
he's a car mechanic they can't buy their

1037
00:42:28,610 --> 00:42:26,010
own property and gotta be way out in the

1038
00:42:30,890 --> 00:42:28,620
sticks and so overwhelmingly we're short

1039
00:42:32,930 --> 00:42:30,900
of time yeah yeah that's all of us yeah

1040
00:42:34,250 --> 00:42:32,940
and that's part of the problem yeah yeah

1041
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:34,260
so much for the robots and computers

1042
00:42:38,180 --> 00:42:36,810
means or it isn't we've got the robots

1043
00:42:40,130 --> 00:42:38,190
in the computers well we've got the

1044
00:42:41,390 --> 00:42:40,140
computers more certain down have the

1045
00:42:44,510 --> 00:42:41,400
leisure time we don't have a leisure

1046
00:42:45,710 --> 00:42:44,520
time why not and how come you're really

1047
00:42:47,510 --> 00:42:45,720
smaller number of people getting what

1048
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:47,520
yet so there's another conspiracy theory

1049
00:42:52,130 --> 00:42:50,490
that I'm done well this this thing about

1050
00:42:55,670 --> 00:42:52,140
drinking deeply the well of knowledge or

1051
00:42:56,780 --> 00:42:55,680
sipping this is absolutely conspiracy if

1052
00:42:59,750 --> 00:42:56,790
there is this what the anti-vaccination

1053
00:43:02,120 --> 00:42:59,760
people do and I guess it just it's one

1054
00:43:05,570 --> 00:43:02,130
that one in such sad about the chicken

1055
00:43:07,940 --> 00:43:05,580
chicken Spock party yeah because I had a

1056
00:43:09,770 --> 00:43:07,950
look at that more deeply and just for my

1057
00:43:14,420 --> 00:43:09,780
own purposes i went into chicken pox so

1058
00:43:17,720 --> 00:43:14,430
firstly chicken pox is not benign one in

1059
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:17,730
every 60,000 kids or one every 60,000

1060
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:19,170
people who gets it will die of it

1061
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:23,130
secondly there's a condition that people

1062
00:43:26,630 --> 00:43:25,170
who are not or have not been trained as

1063
00:43:28,700 --> 00:43:26,640
pediatric doctors would never have heard

1064
00:43:29,990 --> 00:43:28,710
of and I know about because I was

1065
00:43:34,910 --> 00:43:30,000
trained as a pediatric doctor which is

1066
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:34,920
called arterial ischemia syndrome and

1067
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:36,690
what it means is that you got a five

1068
00:43:41,740 --> 00:43:39,090
year old kid having a stroke no not a

1069
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:41,750
sixty-year-old a five year old kid and

1070
00:43:46,700 --> 00:43:44,090
one-third of those who suffer from that

1071
00:43:47,990 --> 00:43:46,710
we've got chicken pox yeah chicken pox

1072
00:43:51,290 --> 00:43:48,000
has that as a side effects which they

1073
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:51,300
didn't know yet the mothers a large

1074
00:43:54,170 --> 00:43:52,650
percentage of the mother's been infected

1075
00:43:55,550 --> 00:43:54,180
with chicken pox between the age of 0

1076
00:43:58,520 --> 00:43:55,560
and six months have kids with all sorts

1077
00:44:02,180 --> 00:43:58,530
of nasty abnormalities and finally long

1078
00:44:05,810 --> 00:44:02,190
term four and five decades from now half

1079
00:44:08,590 --> 00:44:05,820
a century from now one in every five of

1080
00:44:10,540 --> 00:44:08,600
the kids who got chickenpox he's got

1081
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:10,550
shingles yeah and shingles can range

1082
00:44:15,490 --> 00:44:13,130
from 0 that is a bit of a rash on half

1083
00:44:18,610 --> 00:44:15,500
once drop of my body has gone away all

1084
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:18,620
the way to I'm paralyzed in my legs my

1085
00:44:23,140 --> 00:44:21,130
muscles are too weak I'm now got a

1086
00:44:25,990 --> 00:44:23,150
relentless pain for the rest of my life

1087
00:44:30,070 --> 00:44:26,000
and blenders and blinds and like so many

1088
00:44:32,410 --> 00:44:30,080
I brain yeah this orders yeah and yet

1089
00:44:33,970 --> 00:44:32,420
the people who say our chicken pox is

1090
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:33,980
just a childhood disease it goes it

1091
00:44:37,150 --> 00:44:35,930
doesn't affect you again they have not

1092
00:44:39,100 --> 00:44:37,160
got the full information so that gives

1093
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:39,110
back to Alexander Pope yes and then

1094
00:44:42,990 --> 00:44:41,330
drinking deeply here's a well of

1095
00:44:46,780 --> 00:44:43,000
knowledge yes not just superficially

1096
00:44:49,150 --> 00:44:46,790
well it's what we do Carl we we keep

1097
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:49,160
trying to encourage people to drink

1098
00:44:53,410 --> 00:44:51,650
deeply mmm it's not easy not it's

1099
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:53,420
complicated i don't have time and they

1100
00:44:56,830 --> 00:44:54,650
don't have time if they're if they're

1101
00:44:59,080 --> 00:44:56,840
just working flat out to try and pay the

1102
00:45:01,240 --> 00:44:59,090
bills it and then one of their friends

1103
00:45:04,270 --> 00:45:01,250
says don't get your kids vaccinated

1104
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:04,280
because i didn't and then a second

1105
00:45:07,660 --> 00:45:05,570
friend says it and in the third they

1106
00:45:09,610 --> 00:45:07,670
don't have the time to go and dream

1107
00:45:12,370 --> 00:45:09,620
deeply because they're working so hard

1108
00:45:15,330 --> 00:45:12,380
the poor buggers but then again to their

1109
00:45:17,830 --> 00:45:15,340
way of thinking they have they have

1110
00:45:21,430 --> 00:45:17,840
dragged on d they're given their friends

1111
00:45:23,410 --> 00:45:21,440
have but even still they will do they

1112
00:45:25,540 --> 00:45:23,420
will use dr. Google they'll listen to

1113
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:25,550
their friends I'll read the the bad

1114
00:45:30,100 --> 00:45:27,770
information and to them they have done

1115
00:45:32,740 --> 00:45:30,110
their research well the trouble of dr.

1116
00:45:34,510 --> 00:45:32,750
google is it's easy to misread it so

1117
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:34,520
firstly you can pay to have your

1118
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:37,330
homepage put up there hi and secondly

1119
00:45:41,230 --> 00:45:39,650
high in the list of search engines and

1120
00:45:43,710 --> 00:45:41,240
secondly the fossil fuel companies have

1121
00:45:46,540 --> 00:45:43,720
been funding thousands literally

1122
00:45:48,730 --> 00:45:46,550
thousands of disinformation sites around

1123
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:48,740
the world so if you go searching on the

1124
00:45:53,290 --> 00:45:51,490
web and say really is Antarctica

1125
00:45:55,230 --> 00:45:53,300
increasing in ice and is the world

1126
00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:55,240
cooling down you get one of these

1127
00:46:00,070 --> 00:45:57,770
deliberate disinformation sites so you

1128
00:46:01,780 --> 00:46:00,080
can't just trust the first thing at your

1129
00:46:05,770 --> 00:46:01,790
root yeah and you never have been able

1130
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:05,780
to either like is a fact that if I give

1131
00:46:10,270 --> 00:46:08,930
you a sentence on a screen about the New

1132
00:46:12,580 --> 00:46:10,280
World Order and how the United Nations

1133
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:12,590
is try to turn us all into slaves if I

1134
00:46:18,850 --> 00:46:15,490
give that to you on a screen in bold

1135
00:46:21,950 --> 00:46:18,860
serif typeface which you can read easily

1136
00:46:24,530 --> 00:46:21,960
or sort of faded sands

1137
00:46:26,210 --> 00:46:24,540
vitalic you won't believe it either read

1138
00:46:27,859 --> 00:46:26,220
you believe it hard to read you won't

1139
00:46:29,750 --> 00:46:27,869
believe it so we want to simplify this

1140
00:46:33,079 --> 00:46:29,760
part of what wanting to simplify the

1141
00:46:35,030 --> 00:46:33,089
world down and what you find is if

1142
00:46:37,089 --> 00:46:35,040
somebody were to say he was a barking

1143
00:46:39,170 --> 00:46:37,099
mad person lying in their own vomit

1144
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:39,180
surround by dogs licking their words

1145
00:46:41,900 --> 00:46:40,650
they give you a bit of paper saying the

1146
00:46:43,940 --> 00:46:41,910
world is cooling down you wouldn't

1147
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:43,950
believe but if it's on a computer screen

1148
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:46,770
yeah oh wow I can read it easily it must

1149
00:46:53,270 --> 00:46:49,290
be true presentation taste absolutely

1150
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:53,280
it's and making mistakes I make mistakes

1151
00:46:57,020 --> 00:46:55,050
all the time like so I've already come

1152
00:46:59,210 --> 00:46:57,030
across for mistakes in my latest book

1153
00:47:01,450 --> 00:46:59,220
she'll be concise and there was one

1154
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:01,460
mistake i made about why your fingertips

1155
00:47:05,690 --> 00:47:04,050
wrinkle you go into a bath and stay

1156
00:47:07,730 --> 00:47:05,700
there for a long time prunes yeah they

1157
00:47:09,290 --> 00:47:07,740
prove i got that totally wrong and i got

1158
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:09,300
that wrong for two decades but as soon

1159
00:47:16,220 --> 00:47:12,930
as I found out I said so immediately and

1160
00:47:18,230 --> 00:47:16,230
public Italy in both on my podcast and

1161
00:47:20,180 --> 00:47:18,240
in writing on my home page I had made a

1162
00:47:21,890 --> 00:47:20,190
mistake I didn't try to cover it up and

1163
00:47:24,380 --> 00:47:21,900
say no what I meant was is I said yeah I

1164
00:47:26,620 --> 00:47:24,390
done wrong this is where I was wrong

1165
00:47:29,329 --> 00:47:26,630
with which is the scientific method

1166
00:47:31,190 --> 00:47:29,339
indeed which is counterintuitive hmm

1167
00:47:35,150 --> 00:47:31,200
scientists are different I remember I

1168
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:35,160
was sitting down at the table and

1169
00:47:37,790 --> 00:47:36,330
physically used to have such a theme

1170
00:47:40,609 --> 00:47:37,800
morning tea and ask them a question

1171
00:47:42,770 --> 00:47:40,619
about water droplets and so somebody

1172
00:47:44,390 --> 00:47:42,780
ringing the triple j said IMA I've been

1173
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:44,400
smoking all this dog I can't say another

1174
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:46,770
day obvious mogul his boss can I don't

1175
00:47:52,790 --> 00:47:49,290
open smoke yeah guys like that I've been

1176
00:47:56,150 --> 00:47:52,800
contemplating it was a big raining are

1177
00:47:57,500 --> 00:47:56,160
my veranda and this some rain does

1178
00:47:59,390 --> 00:47:57,510
little puddles at the front and

1179
00:48:02,359 --> 00:47:59,400
sometimes the wind blows from the north

1180
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:02,369
south east the west and so the raindrops

1181
00:48:08,540 --> 00:48:05,130
come from different directions but no

1182
00:48:13,940 --> 00:48:08,550
matter what direction the raindrops come

1183
00:48:17,210 --> 00:48:13,950
from the ripples are always circular and

1184
00:48:19,010 --> 00:48:17,220
I said you sure I said yeah so I ran it

1185
00:48:20,660 --> 00:48:19,020
past the clever people in physics and we

1186
00:48:22,250 --> 00:48:20,670
argued about it backwards and forwards

1187
00:48:23,720 --> 00:48:22,260
and all these professorial people said

1188
00:48:25,849 --> 00:48:23,730
it then finally one of the deep

1189
00:48:27,710 --> 00:48:25,859
professors after about 20 minutes as

1190
00:48:29,720 --> 00:48:27,720
we're coming to the end of t times I've

1191
00:48:33,140 --> 00:48:29,730
got it and everyone looked at and he

1192
00:48:34,670 --> 00:48:33,150
said all the wind does and gravity is

1193
00:48:39,130 --> 00:48:34,680
provide the initial in

1194
00:48:43,060 --> 00:48:39,140
pulse to the water the speed at which

1195
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:43,070
the ripple travels through the water is

1196
00:48:48,110 --> 00:48:46,650
entirely dependent upon the

1197
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:48,120
characteristics of the water thus our

1198
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:51,090
speed of sound in water so you might end

1199
00:48:54,170 --> 00:48:52,650
up with the water coming the water

1200
00:48:55,370 --> 00:48:54,180
droplet coming in an angle it might be

1201
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:55,380
safe three millimeters by two

1202
00:49:00,950 --> 00:48:57,090
millimeters it might be slightly oval

1203
00:49:03,740 --> 00:49:00,960
but when it expands its 100 millimeters

1204
00:49:06,140 --> 00:49:03,750
by 101 200 millimeters by 201

1205
00:49:09,410 --> 00:49:06,150
millimeters and so the speed at which

1206
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:09,420
the ripples travel depends entirely upon

1207
00:49:12,470 --> 00:49:10,770
the properties of the water not the

1208
00:49:21,770 --> 00:49:12,480
initial impulse and all the other

1209
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:21,780
physicist when they saw the the solution

1210
00:49:24,350 --> 00:49:23,010
being given to them they said oh yeah

1211
00:49:26,780 --> 00:49:24,360
that's obviously the one that makes so

1212
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:26,790
much sense and not and they all said

1213
00:49:31,940 --> 00:49:29,130
yells wrong yeah so I just don't mind

1214
00:49:35,450 --> 00:49:31,950
saying they're wrong which is of course

1215
00:49:37,460 --> 00:49:35,460
counterintuitive general humans oh yeah

1216
00:49:40,460 --> 00:49:37,470
I do love a bit where they said sciences

1217
00:49:42,770 --> 00:49:40,470
of religion yeah we rely on belief and

1218
00:49:44,330 --> 00:49:42,780
gut feelings come later yes I just

1219
00:49:47,150 --> 00:49:44,340
another religion or science is just your

1220
00:49:49,940 --> 00:49:47,160
belief system I've heard it all to Karl

1221
00:49:53,030 --> 00:49:49,950
where can people take you out and our

1222
00:49:56,180 --> 00:49:53,040
latest book just go to dr. Carl calm dr

1223
00:49:58,790 --> 00:49:56,190
k RL calm and while it is very nice of

1224

you to buy my books you can get most of

1225
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:01,110
the information for free on my homepage

1226
00:50:04,940 --> 00:50:02,970
in the great moments in science section

1227
00:50:07,670 --> 00:50:04,950
don't tell the bookseller I apologize

1228
00:50:09,290 --> 00:50:07,680
now it's not as long it'll it's only

1229
00:50:11,750 --> 00:50:09,300
about 600 words instead of eight hundred

1230
00:50:13,610 --> 00:50:11,760
or a thousand or 3,000 but the essential

1231
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:13,620
busy so if your bid broke just get it

1232
00:50:16,100 --> 00:50:14,850
for free off my homepage you don't have

1233
00:50:18,050 --> 00:50:16,110
to buy my books but I'll still love you

1234
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:18,060
more if you do now I love you equally

1235
00:50:23,030 --> 00:50:21,090

something that's been brought to my

1260
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:02,860
attention over the last few weeks it's a

1261
00:52:09,660 --> 00:52:06,450
product called patched PA TCH d

1262
00:52:11,460 --> 00:52:09,670
apostrophe D oh yes the new wonder

1263
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:11,470
product it's the size of a little chip

1264
00:52:16,970 --> 00:52:13,570
and you stick it on the back of your

1265
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:16,980
phone and it will protect your health or

1266
00:52:23,550 --> 00:52:21,850
will it now being very very wishy-washy

1267
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:23,560
with their claims I wrote to them saying

1268
00:52:26,730 --> 00:52:25,450
you're making quite amazing health

1269
00:52:28,470 --> 00:52:26,740
claims here and they wrote back saying

1270
00:52:30,810 --> 00:52:28,480
we're not making any health claims judge

1271
00:52:33,540 --> 00:52:30,820
for yourself this is an interesting

1272
00:52:40,830 --> 00:52:33,550
exercise for you budding skeptics if you

1273
00:52:43,050 --> 00:52:40,840
go to ww patch com PITC HD com click the

1274
00:52:45,660 --> 00:52:43,060
menu link and then you can click on how

1275
00:52:48,260 --> 00:52:45,670
patched works which I'm clicking on

1276
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:48,270
right now and you can read about their

1277
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:52,810
science and what you might consider

1278
00:52:59,010 --> 00:52:56,170
doing then is going to Facebook to the

1279
00:53:02,310 --> 00:52:59,020
patched side on Facebook and leaving

1280
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:02,320
your polite comments please feel free to

1281
00:53:08,700 --> 00:53:06,010
question them about the science now

1282
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:08,710
needless to say quite frankly I'm

1283
00:53:15,630 --> 00:53:13,810
skeptical quite skeptical but there's

1284
00:53:17,940 --> 00:53:15,640

1286
00:53:23,340 --> 00:53:20,590
the science and you can let them know

1287
00:53:25,890 --> 00:53:23,350
whether you agree with their science or

1288
00:53:28,770 --> 00:53:25,900
don't any product that claims it reduces

1289
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:28,780
radiation by 95% and can protect

1290
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:31,090
sensitive parts of your body is

1291
00:53:36,819 --> 00:53:34,930
certainly worth investigation coming up

1292
00:53:40,479 --> 00:53:36,829
on the skeptic zone in 2016

1293
00:53:42,089 --> 00:53:40,489
who knows who knows I can't look into

1294
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:42,099
the future and neither can anybody else

1295
00:53:47,469 --> 00:53:45,890
no because I've been looking at

1296
00:53:50,009 --> 00:53:47,479
predictions for years and years and

1297
00:53:52,390 --> 00:53:50,019
years by Australia's best psychics oh

1298
00:53:54,099 --> 00:53:52,400
boy talking about ninety-five percent

1299
00:53:56,589 --> 00:53:54,109
that's what they get wrong by the way

1300
00:53:58,959 --> 00:53:56,599
but doubtless over the next few weeks

1301
00:54:00,519 --> 00:53:58,969
you'll see various people who claim to

1302
00:54:03,489 --> 00:54:00,529
be psychic popping up on morning

1303
00:54:06,609 --> 00:54:03,499
