00:00:44,180 --> 00:00:41,640
senticles could be coming at our

10
00:00:46,940 --> 00:00:44,190
identities and I'm in New Zealand right

right here in front of me is some sort

15
00:01:00,790 --> 00:00:58,050
of projection from my own mind it is I'm

16
00:01:03,470 --> 00:01:00,800
pretty enticing about you roasting the

17
00:01:05,329 --> 00:01:03,480
future a couple of days in the future

18
00:01:07,910 --> 00:01:05,339

00:01:09,789 --> 00:01:07,920
office studio either you just cause some

20
00:01:12,020 --> 00:01:09,799
sort of rip in the space-time continuum

21
00:01:13,399 --> 00:01:12,030
slide here in this office I was just

22
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:13,409

Baker oh yeah and I enjoy that any space

26
00:01:25,179 --> 00:01:22,979
time continuum tears in no huh Oh

27
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:25,189
everywhere everywhere everywhere

28
00:01:30,770 --> 00:01:28,290

goodness 70 if I was a mathematician

36
00:01:50,420 --> 00:01:48,360
which I'm not that probably all sorts of

37
00:01:53,899 --> 00:01:50,430
factors of 27 well you know what too

38
00:01:58,069 --> 00:01:53,909

is it I don't know but that's the sort

41
00:02:06,139 --> 00:02:04,350
of thing the numerologist might take is

42
00:02:08,690 --> 00:02:06,149
that that would make this episode

43
00:02:10,999 --> 00:02:08,700
extremely important oh it is extremely

44
00:02:12,740 --> 00:02:11,009

occasion bit of geek Joey well I get a

61
00:02:52,460 --> 00:02:50,670
little Daleks and stuff all yeah I think

62
00:02:53,870 --> 00:02:52,470
I think I think they have been known to

63
00:02:57,229 --> 00:02:53,880
make the odd Dalek or things like that

64
00:02:59,420 --> 00:02:57,239
they make um interesting jewelry which

65
00:03:01,339 --> 00:02:59,430
is a representation of a hundred years

66
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:01,349
worth of highs and lows in each capital

67
00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:04,410
city of Australia is and you can fit

68
00:03:08,210 --> 00:03:06,329
them together to see how one city

69
00:03:10,250 --> 00:03:08,220
compares to another really in in a

70
00:03:12,410 --> 00:03:10,260
circle in an earring or something I

71
00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:12,420

00:03:16,670 --> 00:03:14,609
yeah yeah I'd like to see like it you

73
00:03:18,229 --> 00:03:16,680
chemic like you know chemical compounds

74
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:18,239
and stuff as earrings they do ya I think

75
00:03:22,910 --> 00:03:19,889

show are you and I come back with a look

100
00:04:19,130 --> 00:04:17,340
at psychic predictions for 2013 oh

101
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:19,140
that's right it's that wonderful time of

102
00:04:21,390 --> 00:04:19,930
the year where

103
00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:21,400
where we look at all those predictions

104
00:04:26,070 --> 00:04:23,889
of paying you being male the ones that

105
00:04:28,590 --> 00:04:26,080
were made a year a year ago how they all

106
00:04:32,060 --> 00:04:28,600
turned out now you and I both have right

107
00:04:35,129 --> 00:04:32,070
here got a copy of psychic directory of

108
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:35,139
2013 which was published way back in

109
00:04:41,420 --> 00:04:37,210
January this year and there are two

110
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:41,430
pages worth of here they are predictions

111
00:04:46,740 --> 00:04:44,410
tomorrow's news today that the top deck

112
00:04:48,749 --> 00:04:46,750
chance for 2013 from members of the

113
00:04:50,249 --> 00:04:48,759
Australian psychics Association we're

114
00:04:52,260 --> 00:04:50,259
going to be having a look at those let's

115
00:04:53,700 --> 00:04:52,270
get making some predictions ourselves

116
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:53,710
what are we going to try to know I'm

117
00:04:56,550 --> 00:04:55,090
surprised that as psychics would

118
00:04:58,680 --> 00:04:56,560
actually have a directory because could

119
00:05:01,290 --> 00:04:58,690
they like like implant the thought of

120
00:05:03,029 --> 00:05:01,300
their phone number into into all their

121
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:03,039
customers i'll give you the stock answer

122
00:05:07,710 --> 00:05:04,930
they always give it doesn't work that

123
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:07,720
way oh what a shame what a shame you

124
00:05:10,950 --> 00:05:09,370
should do well let's get on with the

125
00:05:12,570 --> 00:05:10,960
show because I'm hanging out to check

126
00:05:15,060 --> 00:05:12,580
out these predictions I I hope at least

127
00:05:30,290 --> 00:05:15,070
some of them have come true meet meet

128
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:35,490
years may not spooky action at the

129
00:05:42,540 --> 00:05:40,500
now look I was gonna have a chat to this

130
00:05:43,890 --> 00:05:42,550
gentleman last night but I needed to see

131
00:05:45,540 --> 00:05:43,900
what he was into and what his talents

132
00:05:46,890 --> 00:05:45,550
were not discovered very few but somehow

133
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:46,900
you managed to get a trip to Australia

134
00:05:50,820 --> 00:05:48,250
out of it so who are you what are you

135
00:05:52,830 --> 00:05:50,830
known for i'm professor Chris French I'm

136
00:05:55,620 --> 00:05:52,840
the head of the anomalistic psychology

137
00:05:57,690 --> 00:05:55,630
research unit at Goldsmiths we should

138
00:06:00,450 --> 00:05:57,700
part the University of London uh yeah

139
00:06:02,220 --> 00:06:00,460
and I had a great time over here we've

140
00:06:03,930 --> 00:06:02,230
been talking about all sorts of things

141
00:06:05,580 --> 00:06:03,940
or what's what's been the topic that's

142
00:06:07,170 --> 00:06:05,590
got the most reaction oh you're just

143
00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:07,180
talking about backwards masking here

144
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:08,800
earlier you're talking about Doctor Who

145
00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:11,050
and psychic paper and how it has some

146
00:06:15,450 --> 00:06:13,600
sort of basis in reality yeah i mean the

147
00:06:17,310 --> 00:06:15,460
basic idea there was i mean i mean

148
00:06:20,730 --> 00:06:17,320
trying to think of something that links

149
00:06:23,310 --> 00:06:20,740
in with Doctor Who and also my own

150
00:06:24,570 --> 00:06:23,320
research interests and one of the things

151
00:06:26,970 --> 00:06:24,580
that struck me was that the hope the

152
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:26,980
whole idea with psychic paper in doctor

153
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:29,650
who is that the doctor can show this

154
00:06:35,310 --> 00:06:32,410
paper to people they look at it and they

155
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:35,320
actually see stuff that means that yes

156
00:06:39,750 --> 00:06:36,970
he's allowed entry into this top-secret

157
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:39,760
facility or whatever is now the closest

158
00:06:44,430 --> 00:06:41,770
I could get to that is the phenomena

159
00:06:48,050 --> 00:06:44,440
known as periodo Leah which is basically

160
00:06:50,670 --> 00:06:48,060
where people look at essentially random

161
00:06:51,990 --> 00:06:50,680
stimulii but see something clear and

162
00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:52,000
distinct so the kind of everyday

163
00:06:56,610 --> 00:06:54,400
examples would be looking at the pattern

164
00:06:59,160 --> 00:06:56,620
on wallpaper or the grain of wood and

165
00:07:01,530 --> 00:06:59,170
seeing faces it in that kind of thing so

166
00:07:03,330 --> 00:07:01,540
yeah it's the part of the brain that

167
00:07:05,100 --> 00:07:03,340
distorts sometimes and gives people

168
00:07:06,930 --> 00:07:05,110
delusions and fearful things win them

169
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:06,940
when they're in an alcohol-induced fever

170
00:07:12,090 --> 00:07:08,650
and that sort of thing well I mean I

171
00:07:13,590 --> 00:07:12,100
mean it all kinds of things can

172
00:07:15,750 --> 00:07:13,600
influence the way that we perceive

173
00:07:18,990 --> 00:07:15,760
certainly if you're in a if you're in a

174
00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:19,000
fever then you might tend to this kind

175
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:20,710
of thing will be exaggerated you know

176
00:07:24,690 --> 00:07:22,930
you'll see kind of faces coming out the

177
00:07:27,390 --> 00:07:24,700
wallpaper at you and all this kind of

178
00:07:29,550 --> 00:07:27,400
stuff but it also happens you know even

179
00:07:31,050 --> 00:07:29,560
Jericho normal perception I mean you you

180
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:31,060
and I would see it but we wouldn't

181
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:33,250
necessarily think that there really is a

182
00:07:38,250 --> 00:07:35,770
face there you know we can see something

183
00:07:39,450 --> 00:07:38,260
that kind of looks like a face what what

184
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:39,460
can happen in certain clinical

185
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:41,650
conditions is that people give this

186
00:07:48,029 --> 00:07:44,770
stuff tremendous significance

187
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:48,039
so you know the way that their pillow is

188
00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:51,370
crumpled on the bed you know is taken as

189
00:07:55,469 --> 00:07:54,310
being a really significant sign and they

190
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:55,479
read all kinds of meaning and

191
00:07:59,879 --> 00:07:57,370
significance into it but I mean it's

192
00:08:02,879 --> 00:07:59,889
it's in a milder form we're all prone to

193
00:08:03,930 --> 00:08:02,889
that kind of distortion and I mean one

194
00:08:06,749 --> 00:08:03,940
of the things that makes us so

195
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:06,759
successful as a species is that we are

196
00:08:12,149 --> 00:08:10,090
really good at picking up on patents in

197
00:08:13,980 --> 00:08:12,159
our environment we're really good at

198
00:08:16,529 --> 00:08:13,990
making cause-and-effect links between

199
00:08:19,589 --> 00:08:16,539
things but we we overplay it and

200
00:08:21,839 --> 00:08:19,599
sometimes we see meaning in randomness

201
00:08:23,969 --> 00:08:21,849
we think we've seen a meaningful pattern

202
00:08:26,100 --> 00:08:23,979
when really it's not there at all and we

203
00:08:28,350 --> 00:08:26,110
make cause and effect links that aren't

204
00:08:31,350 --> 00:08:28,360
really there at all and this this

205
00:08:33,719 --> 00:08:31,360
general tendency has actually you know

206
00:08:35,010 --> 00:08:33,729
explains all kinds a lot of paranormal

207
00:08:37,019 --> 00:08:35,020
believes a lot of beliefs and

208
00:08:38,699 --> 00:08:37,029
alternative medicine a whole range of

209
00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:38,709
releasing conspiracy theories where

210
00:08:43,529 --> 00:08:41,169
people find connections between things

211
00:08:46,139 --> 00:08:43,539
but actually aren't really there at all

212
00:08:48,180 --> 00:08:46,149
now gives you your well-known to the

213
00:08:50,069 --> 00:08:48,190
skeptical seen in the UK what sort of

214
00:08:51,510 --> 00:08:50,079
flavor as the Australian skeptical

215
00:08:53,130 --> 00:08:51,520
obscene got about it from the time

216
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:53,140
you've been here but do we do anything

217
00:08:59,850 --> 00:08:57,010
differently or in it in our own way it's

218
00:09:01,800 --> 00:08:59,860
a again I mean I've done lots of talks

219
00:09:03,750 --> 00:09:01,810
since I've been here I've mixed with

220
00:09:07,590 --> 00:09:03,760
various different skeptical groups and

221
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:07,600
by and large it's been the same kind of

222
00:09:11,579 --> 00:09:09,730
interest the same kind of themes the

223
00:09:14,250 --> 00:09:11,589
same kind of topics that come up are

224
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:14,260
they that there certainly are some

225
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:16,130
differences but just

226
00:09:20,830 --> 00:09:19,370
quite yeah quite minor differences

227
00:09:22,990 --> 00:09:20,840
there's a bit more of an emphasis here

228
00:09:26,170 --> 00:09:23,000
on certain topics compared to the

229
00:09:28,450 --> 00:09:26,180
situation would be in the UK as it there

230
00:09:30,490 --> 00:09:28,460
seems to be quite a lot more emphasis

231
00:09:35,050 --> 00:09:30,500
here on things relating to

232
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:35,060
sustainability for example energy you

233
00:09:40,570 --> 00:09:38,090
know that those kinds of issues climate

234
00:09:42,460 --> 00:09:40,580
change again big issue in the UK but I

235
00:09:48,340 --> 00:09:42,470
kind of sent it an even bigger issue

236
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:48,350
here so it's more a matter of degree and

237
00:09:54,670 --> 00:09:51,650
the detail rather than the big themes

238
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:54,680
are the same and you know I think that

239
00:09:59,290 --> 00:09:56,930
that tends to be the case whether you go

240
00:10:03,760 --> 00:09:59,300
to a sceptical conference in Australia

241
00:10:05,590 --> 00:10:03,770
the UK America Europe wherever yeah that

242
00:10:08,260 --> 00:10:05,600
those big themes remain the same and

243
00:10:11,050 --> 00:10:08,270
basically yeah I think we're all yeah

244
00:10:12,670 --> 00:10:11,060
hate to use a kind of religious analogy

245
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:12,680
but we're all singing to the same hymn

246
00:10:15,970 --> 00:10:14,570
sheet here you know now you've got a bit

247
00:10:18,130 --> 00:10:15,980
of a new hem sheet for us your books

248
00:10:20,170 --> 00:10:18,140
coming out shortly what are you focusing

249
00:10:21,340 --> 00:10:20,180
on in this book that both the layman or

250
00:10:22,810 --> 00:10:21,350
someone knows a little bit about a

251
00:10:24,910 --> 00:10:22,820
normal mystic psychology which is

252
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:24,920
correctly now when I know but what can

253
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:27,410
be learned from your book well I mean

254
00:10:31,270 --> 00:10:28,970
the books already out it came out on the

255
00:10:35,410 --> 00:10:31,280
first of November in the UK it's a it

256
00:10:38,530 --> 00:10:35,420
can be ordered in Australia now what we

257
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:38,540
did with the book was to actually look

258
00:10:43,030 --> 00:10:40,970
at the whole range of psychology in

259
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:43,040
terms of all its sub disciplines and say

260
00:10:47,950 --> 00:10:45,650
what do each of the sub disciplines have

261
00:10:50,410 --> 00:10:47,960
to say about the kind of topics we're

262
00:10:53,380 --> 00:10:50,420
interested in so for example if you

263
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:53,390
think a developmental psychology how

264
00:10:59,290 --> 00:10:55,850
what our children's understandings of

265
00:11:01,270 --> 00:10:59,300
the paranormal and magic and so on and

266
00:11:03,940 --> 00:11:01,280
when do they kind of move from believing

267
00:11:05,860 --> 00:11:03,950
in magic to thinking actually it's

268
00:11:07,390 --> 00:11:05,870
probably all a trick when do they stop

269
00:11:09,460 --> 00:11:07,400
believing in Santa Claus you know all

270
00:11:11,740 --> 00:11:09,470
this kind of stuff you take the clinical

271
00:11:13,870 --> 00:11:11,750
perspective is it the case that people

272
00:11:15,510 --> 00:11:13,880
who believe in the paranormal are

273
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:15,520
actually the way the

274
00:11:19,500 --> 00:11:17,650
some skeptics believe a little bit

275
00:11:21,210 --> 00:11:19,510
bonkers a little bit nuts well actually

276
00:11:22,770 --> 00:11:21,220
no it's not as simple as that but

277
00:11:24,570 --> 00:11:22,780
there's some interesting questions to be

278
00:11:27,060 --> 00:11:24,580
asked and you look at each of the

279
00:11:28,710 --> 00:11:27,070
different areas of psychology and the

280
00:11:30,180 --> 00:11:28,720
ball that's something to offer so that's

281
00:11:32,430 --> 00:11:30,190
the way we've divided the book up we

282
00:11:33,990 --> 00:11:32,440
have different chapters devoted to the

283
00:11:35,940 --> 00:11:34,000
clinical perspective developmental

284
00:11:38,190 --> 00:11:35,950
perspective neuroscientific perspectives

285
00:11:39,540 --> 00:11:38,200
and so on I think that's quite a unique

286
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:39,550
thing about the gonna be else has done

287
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:42,310
that and hopefully it can provide some

288
00:11:46,020 --> 00:11:44,290
insight no other chemical markers like

289
00:11:48,300 --> 00:11:46,030
in a child for example the brain

290
00:11:49,830 --> 00:11:48,310
develops and serotonin is released as a

291
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:49,840
different rate they get older can that

292
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:51,850
pin that sometimes cause delusions in a

293
00:11:56,340 --> 00:11:54,250
kid that sort of thing well I mean the I

294
00:11:59,070 --> 00:11:56,350
mean I mean certainly neurotransmitters

295
00:12:01,020 --> 00:11:59,080
crop up in this kind of an area what I

296
00:12:04,620 --> 00:12:01,030
mean a specific topic would be that

297
00:12:06,690 --> 00:12:04,630
there are lots of we deal with these

298
00:12:08,550 --> 00:12:06,700
like near death experiences and there

299
00:12:10,140 --> 00:12:08,560
are various models of what's happening

300
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:10,150
during the near-death experiences that

301
00:12:17,010 --> 00:12:13,330
related directly to neurotransmitters

302
00:12:19,170 --> 00:12:17,020
and so yeah there are lots of different

303
00:12:22,830 --> 00:12:19,180
anomalous experiences that people can

304
00:12:25,380 --> 00:12:22,840
have that actually can be understood

305
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:25,390
better if you know about the way the

306
00:12:29,550 --> 00:12:27,490
brain works and about the brain cuz the

307
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:29,560
way the brain can sometimes malfunction

308
00:12:33,900 --> 00:12:33,010
and so all that's in there I mean I mean

309
00:12:36,450 --> 00:12:33,910
that's one of the fascinating things

310
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:36,460
about the whole area the way that lots

311
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:39,450
of different kind of approaches all

312
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:43,330
interact so if you take say the example

313
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:46,210
of near-death experiences on top of just

314
00:12:49,770 --> 00:12:48,490
the basic processes that might explain

315
00:12:51,660 --> 00:12:49,780
that in terms of what's happening for

316
00:12:53,910 --> 00:12:51,670
the brain you've also a kind of cultural

317
00:12:56,850 --> 00:12:53,920
overlay so it depends on the specific

318
00:12:58,980 --> 00:12:56,860
culture the individual is in with

319
00:13:01,710 --> 00:12:58,990
respect to what are the details of the

320
00:13:03,570 --> 00:13:01,720
experience so yeah they're kind of

321
00:13:05,820 --> 00:13:03,580
complex issues where I think by trying

322
00:13:08,130 --> 00:13:05,830
to understand them we can learn a lot

323
00:13:10,830 --> 00:13:08,140
about human psychology and also a lot

324
00:13:13,230 --> 00:13:10,840
that actually generalizes beyond just

325
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:13,240
the realms of weird experiences and can

326
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:15,690
inform our understanding more generally

327
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:17,850
look a purely English question here I

328
00:13:22,610 --> 00:13:20,250
have to ask you you're from Manchester

329
00:13:25,340 --> 00:13:22,620
I'm not from Manchester I did my degree

330
00:13:27,170 --> 00:13:25,350
in Manchester hung from the Northwest of

331
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:27,180
England well what is the go between

332
00:13:31,460 --> 00:13:29,490
Manchester and Liverpool to me there to

333
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:31,470
one look that you got the Beatles and

334
00:13:34,730 --> 00:13:32,490
then there was the Happy Mondays in

335
00:13:36,350 --> 00:13:34,740
Manchester they were pretty top I don't

336
00:13:38,030 --> 00:13:36,360
see what the rivalry is all about Peter

337
00:13:39,740 --> 00:13:38,040
said both right cities to me they're

338
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:39,750
both really good cities I'm happy with

339
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:41,730
both of those cities i'm very happy with

340
00:13:47,380 --> 00:13:44,130
other cities at the moment like any good

341
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:47,390
Manchester United fan I live in London

342
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:50,610
and I'm probably a typical Manchester

343
00:13:54,170 --> 00:13:51,930
United fan in so far as I very rarely

344
00:13:57,290 --> 00:13:54,180
actually get the match these days but I

345
00:14:01,580 --> 00:13:57,300
love watching it on the TV and you know

346
00:14:04,180 --> 00:14:01,590
I I am I am definitely a United fan no I

347
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:04,190
mean that they're great cities London

348
00:14:08,900 --> 00:14:07,050
probably has the edge for me I kind of

349
00:14:10,730 --> 00:14:08,910
everything's there you really do feel

350
00:14:13,010 --> 00:14:10,740
that you you're at the place where

351
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:13,020
things that happening or just good that

352
00:14:17,390 --> 00:14:14,850
the BBC's just moved out of there it

353
00:14:19,700 --> 00:14:17,400
isn't it so lutely yeah yeah yeah I did

354
00:14:20,870 --> 00:14:19,710
go to media city to do TV to do a radio

355
00:14:22,550 --> 00:14:20,880
program recently and it's absolutely

356
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:22,560
amazing they're doing it tends to go to

357
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:26,370
sulphur go but yeah I mean why would you

358
00:14:30,860 --> 00:14:27,690
go through if you weren't going to that

359
00:14:33,140 --> 00:14:30,870
place but you wouldn't it's very nice to

360
00:14:34,550 --> 00:14:33,150
diverse into the regional areas and

361
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:34,560
spread it around a bit but there's

362
00:14:38,870 --> 00:14:35,970
something about the centrist ISM of

363
00:14:41,090 --> 00:14:38,880
London which is good yeah now it's I

364
00:14:44,060 --> 00:14:41,100
mean I mean as a as a northerner who's

365
00:14:46,550 --> 00:14:44,070
gone down south obviously I don't have

366
00:14:49,340 --> 00:14:46,560
the kind of anti-north bias that a lot

367
00:14:52,850 --> 00:14:49,350
of southerners have on the other hand

368
00:14:55,010 --> 00:14:52,860
that can see why why that happened

369
00:14:56,570 --> 00:14:55,020
because there is this general sense that

370
00:14:58,820 --> 00:14:56,580
yeah most of the important stuff is

371
00:15:01,370 --> 00:14:58,830
happening down here isn't it you know

372
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:01,380
and I think having said that there's an

373
00:15:04,970 --> 00:15:03,210
all you know a lot of the cities in the

374
00:15:07,130 --> 00:15:04,980
UK I mean I'm with respect to skepticism

375
00:15:10,190 --> 00:15:07,140
bringing him back to that topic the

376
00:15:12,740 --> 00:15:10,200
there are so many active skeptics groups

377
00:15:14,570 --> 00:15:12,750
up and down the country in the UK my

378
00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:14,580
favourite UK pod touch is skeptic to the

379
00:15:17,850 --> 00:15:15,310
cave

380
00:15:19,890 --> 00:15:17,860
yeah a large of Moses eyes get big right

381
00:15:22,350 --> 00:15:19,900
yeah more power to them they're great

382
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:22,360
those guys their attack there okay okay

383
00:15:28,620 --> 00:15:26,050
okay a Canada and the and the QED

384
00:15:31,290 --> 00:15:28,630
conferences that they organized in my

385
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:31,300
personal opinion they are the best

386
00:15:36,210 --> 00:15:34,210
skeptical conferences anywhere in the

387
00:15:38,790 --> 00:15:36,220
world and that they're just brilliant

388
00:15:42,210 --> 00:15:38,800
they that they not only get a really

389
00:15:43,710 --> 00:15:42,220
good mix of speakers on they also have

390
00:15:46,110 --> 00:15:43,720
this general philosophy that there's

391
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:46,120
that the speakers mix with the people

392
00:15:50,430 --> 00:15:48,850
who've gone to the conferences and then

393
00:15:51,990 --> 00:15:50,440
that's just great you know I mean it

394
00:15:53,940 --> 00:15:52,000
really is there a great confidence to go

00:15:55,890 --> 00:15:53,950

official skeptics table there's the

426
00:17:12,540 --> 00:17:09,640
cranky bot table who have we got here

427
00:17:14,699 --> 00:17:12,550
I've ever Bruce and I'm Alistair

428
00:17:16,980 --> 00:17:14,709
Alistair I believe you've done some

429
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:16,990
statistical analysis to produce some of

430
00:17:20,370 --> 00:17:18,010
the jewelry that's on this table

431
00:17:21,549 --> 00:17:20,380
describe to us what kind of graph that

432
00:17:24,100 --> 00:17:21,559
is and how you've turned

433
00:17:25,869 --> 00:17:24,110
to is it earrings what is that so we've

434
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:25,879
got necklaces earrings and fridge

435
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:29,330
magnets now what they are is a polar

436
00:17:33,399 --> 00:17:31,490
representation of the maximum and

437
00:17:35,350 --> 00:17:33,409
minimum temperatures over the past

438
00:17:37,899 --> 00:17:35,360
hundred years or so for various capital

439
00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:37,909
cities around Australia so they come out

440
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:40,370
looking like a bit of a fractured circle

441
00:17:44,919 --> 00:17:43,370
like a wacky doughnut yeah although our

442
00:17:46,810 --> 00:17:44,929
darling is quite smooth that looks more

443
00:17:49,450 --> 00:17:46,820
like a pineapple ring i think it is

444
00:17:50,590 --> 00:17:49,460
actually yeah that is very very

445
00:17:52,029 --> 00:17:50,600
interesting and you put them over one

446
00:17:53,649 --> 00:17:52,039
each one another and you can see how

447
00:17:55,690 --> 00:17:53,659
cold it is to live in Melbourne for

448
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:55,700
example that's right so they're all done

449
00:18:00,460 --> 00:17:58,129
to the same scale so you can compare say

450
00:18:02,710 --> 00:18:00,470
ho bata can when you will find actually

451
00:18:05,409 --> 00:18:02,720
that camera is often colder than ho

452
00:18:07,060 --> 00:18:05,419
bodies get in yeah I mean you've also

453
00:18:08,619 --> 00:18:07,070
like well I'm while I'm here what's

454
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:08,629
going on with the temperature range it

455
00:18:13,769 --> 00:18:10,610
was five to twenty seven the other day

456
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:13,779
how the hell do you dress for that um

457
00:18:19,259 --> 00:18:17,330
Myers yeah I mean I must be a lot of

458
00:18:22,450 --> 00:18:19,269
people stripping around about lunchtime

459
00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:22,460
yeah well fortunately working indoors I

460
00:18:26,739 --> 00:18:24,320
have air conditioning so it's not too

461
00:18:28,389 --> 00:18:26,749
bad but but it because outside in

462
00:18:30,009 --> 00:18:28,399
Canberra random at three o'clock someone

463
00:18:31,930 --> 00:18:30,019
turns the heat off you need this big

464
00:18:33,220 --> 00:18:31,940
clunk if someone turns a big switch off

465
00:18:36,310 --> 00:18:33,230
in the heat turns off in Canberra three

466
00:18:38,649 --> 00:18:36,320
o'clock every day oh yeah that sounds

467
00:18:39,639 --> 00:18:38,659
about right now what other jewelry have

468
00:18:41,950 --> 00:18:39,649
you got over there you've got some

469
00:18:45,669 --> 00:18:41,960
molecular representations at it earrings

470
00:18:48,549 --> 00:18:45,679
have you got one for MDMA or MDMA no not

471
00:18:49,869 --> 00:18:48,559
yet the only well we've got a few

472
00:18:53,409 --> 00:18:49,879
addictive substances here we've got

473
00:18:56,950 --> 00:18:53,419
caffeine we've got alcohol and we've got

474
00:18:59,230 --> 00:18:56,960
serotonin so you know those into they

475
00:19:01,060 --> 00:18:59,240
are look at that look at serotonin is

476
00:19:04,570 --> 00:19:01,070
the drug that causes all other drugs to

477
00:19:06,580 --> 00:19:04,580
be so popular exactly right and what's

478
00:19:09,519 --> 00:19:06,590
moving really big here at the cranky bot

479
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:09,529
table actually the visualization things

480
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:10,970
I think we've found our fellow geeks

481
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:13,850
right data geeks appreciate climate data

482
00:19:17,950 --> 00:19:16,220
everyone's looking for their city yes

483
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:17,960
and also the Christmas tree ornaments

484
00:19:21,999 --> 00:19:19,610
which are for those that can see it is

485
00:19:24,340 --> 00:19:22,009
actually makes your brains at optically

486
00:19:26,140 --> 00:19:24,350
correct hearts and beakers and flasks

487
00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:26,150
and they've been going really well today

488
00:19:31,270 --> 00:19:28,130
and don't forget Darwin's tree of life I

489
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:31,280
down to your life yes this is them for

490
00:19:34,870 --> 00:19:32,810
this Darwin tree of life is literally

491
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:34,880
straight from Darwin's notebook be when

492
00:19:39,340 --> 00:19:36,770
he sketches out I think and he sketches

493
00:19:41,110 --> 00:19:39,350
out his evolutionary tree it looks a

494
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:41,120
little bit like a stick figure pushing a

495
00:19:46,390 --> 00:19:44,510
shopping trolley I've been down and I'll

496
00:19:48,190 --> 00:19:46,400
be nice and tell him that I'm sure he

497
00:19:50,020 --> 00:19:48,200
wouldn't mind that and tell me how many

498
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:50,030
people that floated any conspiracy

499
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:51,770
theories with you or something you come

500
00:19:56,110 --> 00:19:53,210
up because it's all about conspiracies

501
00:19:57,070 --> 00:19:56,120
this weekend at all not yet but we

502
00:19:58,900 --> 00:19:57,080
should start laying down a few

503
00:20:01,450 --> 00:19:58,910
conspiracy theories oh and what I am a

504
00:20:03,250 --> 00:20:01,460
ski run is there any conspiracy theory

505
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:03,260
that appears lacking in evidence that

506
00:20:12,250 --> 00:20:10,130
you really wish was true I've to come

507
00:20:14,140 --> 00:20:12,260
back to you and I think of any off top

508
00:20:15,340 --> 00:20:14,150
my head oh yeah okay y'all talk to you

509
00:20:16,510 --> 00:20:15,350
later bye Derek but good luck with the

510
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:16,520
table here and I hope you sell a bit of

511
00:20:20,830 --> 00:20:18,370
jewelry thank you very much thank you

512
00:20:22,750 --> 00:20:20,840
and of course the lunchtime rolls on and

513
00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:22,760
the conspiracies just keep rolling out

514
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:25,370
we're here with Joe alabaster because

515
00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:26,930
leading up to the conference the big

516
00:20:30,460 --> 00:20:28,070
talk was about whether you'd be wearing

517
00:20:31,930 --> 00:20:30,470
heels or not today but obviously it it's

518
00:20:34,180 --> 00:20:31,940
a flat stay because you got do a lot of

519
00:20:35,290 --> 00:20:34,190
running area it is in there yes much

520
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:35,300
much but your favorite bit of the

521
00:20:41,020 --> 00:20:38,570
conference so far good question um I

522
00:20:43,660 --> 00:20:41,030
think actually Shelley and Corran so far

523
00:20:45,070 --> 00:20:43,670
I was entertaining amusing but also

524
00:20:47,470 --> 00:20:45,080
somewhat depressing and they managed to

525
00:20:48,940 --> 00:20:47,480
get the balance quite nicely is there a

526
00:20:50,530 --> 00:20:48,950
conspiracy theory they were covering in

527
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:50,540
their ages out of conspiracy theories

528
00:20:53,650 --> 00:20:51,650
that you don't miss out on you would

529
00:20:55,420 --> 00:20:53,660
like to have seen

530
00:20:57,310 --> 00:20:55,430
not really I'm very fond of chemtrails

531
00:20:58,540 --> 00:20:57,320
I've recently heard about Planet X which

532
00:21:00,910 --> 00:20:58,550
has apparently been around for quite a

533
00:21:02,830 --> 00:21:00,920
while and I wouldn't mind hearing more

534
00:21:04,390 --> 00:21:02,840
about Planet X no you're a bit late to

535
00:21:05,590 --> 00:21:04,400
the party on that one is that the one

536
00:21:07,450 --> 00:21:05,600
that's supposed to come into the solar

537
00:21:09,250 --> 00:21:07,460
system now and again or one that was

538
00:21:11,380 --> 00:21:09,260
once here in gone what exactly is here

539
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:11,390
evidently it's meant to come back we had

540
00:21:15,340 --> 00:21:12,770
somebody on the Australian skeptics

541
00:21:17,110 --> 00:21:15,350
website on the Facebook page not long

542
00:21:19,750 --> 00:21:17,120
ago who was utterly convinced that it

543
00:21:22,510 --> 00:21:19,760
was coming back and it was the work of

544
00:21:26,950 --> 00:21:22,520
the devil he was quoting prophecies Wow

545
00:21:28,570 --> 00:21:26,960
um interesting the prophecies is never a

546
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:28,580
really good place to start with your

547
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:31,130
evidence no not generally when you're

548
00:21:35,380 --> 00:21:32,510
speaking to people who identify a

549
00:21:37,570 --> 00:21:35,390
scientific skeptics know it is there

550
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:37,580
once as a one conspiracy theory that

551
00:21:41,550 --> 00:21:38,930
would appear lacking in evidence that

552
00:21:44,250 --> 00:21:41,560
you wish was true

553
00:21:46,470 --> 00:21:44,260
I wouldn't mind if Big Pharma actually

554
00:21:48,830 --> 00:21:46,480
did pay out people who advocate

555
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:48,840
vaccination because I'm fairly broke

556
00:21:52,890 --> 00:21:50,770
you'd be getting in the queue with your

557
00:21:55,170 --> 00:21:52,900
hand out absolutely I should already be

558
00:21:56,850 --> 00:21:55,180
there I'm sick doctor rate she would be

559
00:21:58,500 --> 00:21:56,860
taking a lot less public transport as

560
00:22:14,930 --> 00:21:58,510
well if that was the case exactly I

561
00:22:18,750 --> 00:22:16,590
you

562
00:22:20,850 --> 00:22:18,760
the internet maybe the information

563
00:22:22,410 --> 00:22:20,860
superhighway but there is no promise

564
00:22:24,870 --> 00:22:22,420
that the information is factually

565
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:24,880
correct so when people use the internet

566
00:22:28,620 --> 00:22:26,650
to educate themselves they are at risk

567
00:22:31,050 --> 00:22:28,630
of being misinformed and reaching false

568
00:22:33,570 --> 00:22:31,060
conclusions but don't worry there is a

569
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:33,580
solution rubato is a browser plug-in

570
00:22:37,140 --> 00:22:35,410
which tells users when the webpage they

571
00:22:39,780 --> 00:22:37,150
are currently viewing has been disputed

572
00:22:41,790 --> 00:22:39,790
elsewhere on the Internet Withrow butter

573
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:41,800
installed any time you read a page

574
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:43,810
making a claim of truth you have

575
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:45,610
immediate access to another page which

576
00:22:49,890 --> 00:22:48,250
explains why that claim is incorrect so

577
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:49,900
you not only get an opposing perspective

578
00:22:54,060 --> 00:22:52,090
and more information on the subject but

579
00:22:56,490 --> 00:22:54,070
you get a direct demonstration of how to

580
00:22:58,950 --> 00:22:56,500
critically analyze the page you just

581
00:23:00,690 --> 00:22:58,960
read imagine a world where every

582
00:23:02,700 --> 00:23:00,700
internet user was able to critically

583
00:23:04,980 --> 00:23:02,710
reflect on the information that the

584
00:23:06,570 --> 00:23:04,990
internet presents to them because that

585
00:23:09,420 --> 00:23:06,580
is the internet that row butter and its

586
00:23:13,830 --> 00:23:09,430
community of volunteers are building go

587
00:23:16,500 --> 00:23:13,840
to rebuttal com that's our b ut our com

588
00:23:17,790 --> 00:23:16,510
install the plug-in and see what you can

589
00:23:28,430 --> 00:23:17,800
do to help us bring about this

590
00:23:39,539 --> 00:23:31,830
now it's time for dr. Rachel reports

591
00:23:43,090 --> 00:23:39,549
with dr. Rachel Dunlop get out

592
00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:49,960
it is too

593
00:23:56,389 --> 00:23:54,080
how exciting is that dr. rachy that's a

594
00:23:58,669 --> 00:23:56,399
380 you can hear overheads just when we

595
00:24:01,310 --> 00:23:58,679
started recording the a380 comes over my

596
00:24:04,250 --> 00:24:01,320
are a qantas a380 I should be specific I

597
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:04,260
suppose well it's straw but we are

598
00:24:10,789 --> 00:24:06,690
actually having just a nice catch up dr.

599
00:24:12,380 --> 00:24:10,799
AG and I so we are at chowder bay where

600
00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:12,390
I was a few weeks ago to interview dr.

601
00:24:15,919 --> 00:24:14,370
Emma Johnson I know which is funny isn't

602
00:24:19,730 --> 00:24:15,929
it because as we pulled in you said I've

603
00:24:21,049 --> 00:24:19,740
been here before recently yeah I haven't

604
00:24:22,810 --> 00:24:21,059
ever been here Richard it's a nice

605
00:24:25,669 --> 00:24:22,820
little cove isn't it that's beautiful

606
00:24:27,710 --> 00:24:25,679
but I thought I'd have a quick catch up

607
00:24:30,019 --> 00:24:27,720
with you to look back in the wood in the

608
00:24:34,430 --> 00:24:30,029
year of dr. Rachel reports what a year

609
00:24:38,060 --> 00:24:34,440
it's been I guess um the highlight for

610
00:24:40,250 --> 00:24:38,070
me is the AVM I mean this has been going

611
00:24:42,409 --> 00:24:40,260
on for a while now for a while and it's

612
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:42,419
true um I was looking back through my

613
00:24:48,230 --> 00:24:44,610
blog the other day and I think back as

614
00:24:50,810 --> 00:24:48,240
early as 2009 Merrill declared she was

615
00:24:52,629 --> 00:24:50,820
closing down she's a fire sale yeah

616
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:52,639
because she was threatened with

617
00:24:58,310 --> 00:24:56,970
questions about evidence but you know as

618
00:25:00,110 --> 00:24:58,320
you probably know and this is would

619
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:00,120
remember from last week's episode I

620
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:03,450
think they now have to change their name

621
00:25:06,830 --> 00:25:05,370
and you're so subsequently had a bit of

622
00:25:09,950 --> 00:25:06,840
a fire sale they're selling off

623
00:25:12,830 --> 00:25:09,960
computers and office equipment so it

624
00:25:15,350 --> 00:25:12,840
appears at the end is nigh for them it's

625
00:25:18,350 --> 00:25:15,360
a long protracted drawn-out death isn't

626
00:25:21,529 --> 00:25:18,360
it it is and it could still continue for

627
00:25:23,299 --> 00:25:21,539
a bit longer because I'm there is the

628
00:25:27,289 --> 00:25:23,309
opportunity for them to appeal that

629
00:25:29,509 --> 00:25:27,299
decision yup it seems unlikely that that

630
00:25:31,879 --> 00:25:29,519
appear will be successful because I

631
00:25:35,930 --> 00:25:31,889
think they can only appeal on the basis

632
00:25:39,620 --> 00:25:35,940
of an error in law and as assuming the

633
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:39,630
adt didn't make an error then they won't

634
00:25:45,049 --> 00:25:42,690
have a leg to stand on but I expect that

635
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:45,059
they will appeal to drag it I wouldn't

636
00:25:50,029 --> 00:25:47,610
be surprised there I'll give them that

637
00:25:53,149 --> 00:25:50,039
though they've got fight yeah they have

638
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:53,159
and it's it's the case as well sometimes

639
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:54,570
you have to know when to give up and I

640
00:26:00,330 --> 00:25:57,490
guess so you simply don't know

641
00:26:02,940 --> 00:26:00,340
yeah and also I guess homeopathy plus

642
00:26:05,250 --> 00:26:02,950
have been in court this year yes that's

643
00:26:06,630 --> 00:26:05,260
ongoing actually it is ongoing now we're

644
00:26:08,370 --> 00:26:06,640
waiting to see what's going to happen I

645
00:26:10,020 --> 00:26:08,380
think in the new year was find out

646
00:26:12,930 --> 00:26:10,030
what's happening but I follow the

647
00:26:15,540 --> 00:26:12,940
homeopath e+ newsletters yes and they're

648
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:15,550
quite interesting because France

649
00:26:21,570 --> 00:26:17,110
Sheffield who puts those out who won the

650
00:26:23,370 --> 00:26:21,580
bent spoon award last year in her

651
00:26:25,110 --> 00:26:23,380
newsletters graves on and on and on

652
00:26:27,510 --> 00:26:25,120
about how wonderful homeopathy is at

653
00:26:28,799 --> 00:26:27,520
preventing diseases and it's the thing

654
00:26:31,950 --> 00:26:28,809
we all should turn to and it's

655
00:26:33,540 --> 00:26:31,960
cost-effective and it's works better cuz

656
00:26:35,580 --> 00:26:33,550
vaccines don't work it's just

657
00:26:38,250 --> 00:26:35,590
astonishing what she believes well she

658
00:26:39,690 --> 00:26:38,260
is you know you often discuss Richard in

659
00:26:42,330 --> 00:26:39,700
your talks about whether people are

660
00:26:44,130 --> 00:26:42,340
fraudulent or deluded she's definitely

661
00:26:46,740 --> 00:26:44,140
in the diluted camp she definitely

662
00:26:49,169 --> 00:26:46,750
believes what she says yep yeah without

663
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:49,179
done yeah we're just going through the

664
00:26:54,060 --> 00:26:51,250
gap lemierre's you know even if you

665
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:54,070
believe something fervently or a hundred

666
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:55,330
percent if it's wrong and it's

667
00:26:59,610 --> 00:26:57,490
potentially harming people then you

668
00:27:01,440 --> 00:26:59,620
can't legally do it well that's why

669
00:27:04,169 --> 00:27:01,450
there's action being taken against her

670
00:27:06,299 --> 00:27:04,179
yeah and and homeopathy plus in general

671
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:06,309
and you know encouragingly this action

672
00:27:12,900 --> 00:27:09,610
was taken by the a triple see who I'm

673
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:12,910
have teeth with respect to closing

674
00:27:16,049 --> 00:27:14,290
people down and filing them

675
00:27:18,060 --> 00:27:16,059
significantly so it looks like there

676
00:27:20,070 --> 00:27:18,070
might actually be something substantial

677
00:27:21,780 --> 00:27:20,080
come out of this it's interesting i

678
00:27:23,790 --> 00:27:21,790
wonder what the result will be because

679
00:27:25,350 --> 00:27:23,800
I'm sure she's firmly convinced that

680
00:27:26,700 --> 00:27:25,360
they'll find in her favor because she's

681
00:27:29,669 --> 00:27:26,710
probably thought that she presented

682
00:27:31,590 --> 00:27:29,679
compelling evidence well she does think

683
00:27:33,500 --> 00:27:31,600
that and she has said as much in your

684
00:27:35,970 --> 00:27:33,510
newsletters and other places as well and

685
00:27:37,590 --> 00:27:35,980
you know it sometimes sometimes you feel

686
00:27:39,090 --> 00:27:37,600
a bit sorry for these people because you

687
00:27:41,669 --> 00:27:39,100
think well they really do believe this

688
00:27:43,290 --> 00:27:41,679
and when things like that a challenge

689
00:27:44,580 --> 00:27:43,300
they just dig their heels in further and

690
00:27:48,270 --> 00:27:44,590
then they end up crashing and burning

691
00:27:50,580 --> 00:27:48,280
really badly but you know if I really

692
00:27:52,799 --> 00:27:50,590
believe that I can speed in a 60

693
00:27:54,740 --> 00:27:52,809
Commerce signs and I'd do it and I can't

694
00:27:57,770 --> 00:27:54,750
you know just

695
00:27:59,720 --> 00:27:57,780
we might the winds picked up here on the

696
00:28:04,040 --> 00:27:59,730
dock now we're a lovely little um

697
00:28:05,450 --> 00:28:04,050
captain cook cruises boat will move on

698
00:28:06,530 --> 00:28:05,460
oh the gate still up we can't move down

699
00:28:08,270 --> 00:28:06,540
a boat we're just stand in the shade

700
00:28:09,950 --> 00:28:08,280
over here this is exactly what I

701
00:28:12,410 --> 00:28:09,960
interview dr. Emma Johnson a few

702
00:28:13,910 --> 00:28:12,420
episodes ago I was I was having a look

703
00:28:16,100 --> 00:28:13,920
back in the old archives the other day

704
00:28:18,050 --> 00:28:16,110
dr. AG and I saw one of the very first

705
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:18,060
things you did sort of under the moniker

706
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:20,730
of dr. H she was um ear candles can you

707
00:28:25,570 --> 00:28:23,850
remember that yes I can yeah and that

708
00:28:30,170 --> 00:28:25,580
was on that's still in your blogging

709
00:28:32,420 --> 00:28:30,180
yeah it is on my blog yeah um yeah it's

710
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:32,430
it was actually really popular segment

711
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:34,410
that one I had people ride to me and

712
00:28:39,710 --> 00:28:35,730
tell me that they laughed on public

713
00:28:40,940 --> 00:28:39,720
transport that was my fault because you

714
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:40,950
know there is a part of that where I

715
00:28:45,470 --> 00:28:42,690
start laughing out loud because yeah

716
00:28:47,180 --> 00:28:45,480
yeah I remember you know um I guess I've

717
00:28:49,010 --> 00:28:47,190
become be jaded over the years Richard

718
00:28:51,890 --> 00:28:49,020
but when i first started looking at this

719
00:28:53,390 --> 00:28:51,900
stuff when I saw ear candles I was just

720
00:28:55,250 --> 00:28:53,400
gobsmacked that that something could be

721
00:28:56,810 --> 00:28:55,260
that stupid one of the things that when

722
00:28:59,750 --> 00:28:56,820
you see it for the first time you think

723
00:29:02,120 --> 00:28:59,760
no yeah that's right where's the candid

724
00:29:04,130 --> 00:29:02,130
camera this is yeah and and then after

725
00:29:06,260 --> 00:29:04,140
you've seen it a thousand times and a

726
00:29:08,300 --> 00:29:06,270
thousand times worse you just start to

727
00:29:10,070 --> 00:29:08,310
go and face calm rather than getting

728
00:29:12,890 --> 00:29:10,080
angry or upset and you know you can't

729
00:29:14,660 --> 00:29:12,900
continue to expend energy on stuff like

730
00:29:16,490 --> 00:29:14,670
that all you end up in a hank because it

731
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:16,500
is hard there's so much stupid in the

732
00:29:20,450 --> 00:29:18,570
world yeah but you're doing your best I

733
00:29:23,270 --> 00:29:20,460
must congratulate you because your

734
00:29:25,850 --> 00:29:23,280
article on the conversation is a record

735
00:29:27,830 --> 00:29:25,860
I believe yes and apologies in advance

736
00:29:30,530 --> 00:29:27,840
to Patrick Stokes who is a good mate of

737
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:30,540
mine and he had the most read article on

738
00:29:35,930 --> 00:29:32,610
the conversation for a long time and

739
00:29:38,330 --> 00:29:35,940
then there was some bun fight in America

740
00:29:41,990 --> 00:29:38,340
and Canada over vaccination and I shot

741
00:29:45,110 --> 00:29:42,000
past him and I'm still gaining so it's

742
00:29:46,820 --> 00:29:45,120
had more than 800,000 reads now which

743
00:29:49,100 --> 00:29:46,830
means my university is now the number

744
00:29:51,590 --> 00:29:49,110
one University for rankings in the

745
00:29:53,330 --> 00:29:51,600
country um and you know they could send

746
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:53,340
me some champagne if they were I think

747
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:54,690
they should I think listeners should

748
00:29:59,200 --> 00:29:56,490
send you some champagne now that's the

749
00:30:00,549 --> 00:29:59,210
myths about vaccination posting yeah

750
00:30:01,870 --> 00:30:00,559
it's an in fact it's funny because i

751
00:30:05,970 --> 00:30:01,880
remember when i wrote that because i was

752
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:05,980
on holidays in the UK on my way to QED

753
00:30:13,090 --> 00:30:07,970
let's walk around the corner is that

754
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:13,100

00:31:09,950 --> 00:31:07,919
piece about the vaccination conversation

769
00:31:11,930 --> 00:31:09,960
element i right on the way in QED quit

770
00:31:13,820 --> 00:31:11,940
we're on the way to QD yeah yeah yeah

771
00:31:15,860 --> 00:31:13,830
and hello to all our friends in

772
00:31:18,230 --> 00:31:15,870
Manchester and Liverpool yeah so I

773
00:31:22,369 --> 00:31:18,240
remember writing that before breakfast

774
00:31:26,629 --> 00:31:22,379
in a B&B in Cambridge on the way to QED

775
00:31:28,610 --> 00:31:26,639
yes so anyway yeah I mean it's great

776
00:31:29,930 --> 00:31:28,620
that so many people have read it and

777
00:31:31,789 --> 00:31:29,940
pass it on and thanks to everyone who

778
00:31:35,330 --> 00:31:31,799
has and please keep doing so how can

779
00:31:36,590 --> 00:31:35,340
people find that easily that long what

780
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:36,600
does what do you call a reported

781
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:38,490
articles oh it's an article so I guess

782
00:31:41,659 --> 00:31:39,690
if you just Google me and the

783
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:41,669
conversation you'll find it pretty

784
00:31:45,950 --> 00:31:44,250
easily or six myths about vaccination

785
00:31:48,230 --> 00:31:45,960
six myths about vaccination that's right

786
00:31:49,310 --> 00:31:48,240
well another big year coming up dr. hu

787
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:49,320
no doubt we're going to have some

788
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:50,970
setbacks but I think we can have quite a

789
00:31:54,950 --> 00:31:53,250
few victories and why not well yeah

790
00:31:57,169 --> 00:31:54,960
we've been working pretty hard so I hope

791
00:32:00,039 --> 00:31:57,179
we get some outcomes you know concrete

792
00:32:02,090 --> 00:32:00,049
outcomes from the avian and also from

793
00:32:03,259 --> 00:32:02,100
homeopathy pass and then I'm sure

794
00:32:04,610 --> 00:32:03,269
there'll be something else for us to

795
00:32:06,590 --> 00:32:04,620
deal with Richard because this job never

796
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:06,600
ends does job never ends and maybe one

797
00:32:11,180 --> 00:32:08,970
day one day will convince pharmacies in

798
00:32:12,740 --> 00:32:11,190
this country do not carry your candles

799
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:12,750
yeah that would be great wouldn't it

800
00:32:16,310 --> 00:32:14,370
that me you know yeah that would be

801
00:32:18,830 --> 00:32:16,320
great I don't I'm not holding my breath

00:32:22,399 --> 00:32:18,840
holding my oh well congratulations again

803
00:32:31,550 --> 00:32:22,409
dr. AG and here's to 2014 yes and to you

804
00:32:36,270 --> 00:32:33,840
welcome to a week and science from our

805
00:32:38,700 --> 00:32:36,280
iOS bringing you the science news you

806
00:32:40,620 --> 00:32:38,710
need to know as the year draws to a

807
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:40,630
close let's take a look back at what's

808
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:43,090
been a big year in science here are your

809
00:32:53,490 --> 00:32:51,130
top stories for 2013 at number five

810
00:32:56,670 --> 00:32:53,500
virologists in march reported that they

811
00:32:59,040 --> 00:32:56,680
had cured an infant of HIV the infected

812
00:33:01,440 --> 00:32:59,050
baby was just 30 hours old when it

813
00:33:04,590 --> 00:33:01,450
started an 18-month treatment program

814
00:33:06,990 --> 00:33:04,600
using standard HIV drug therapy 10

815
00:33:09,180 --> 00:33:07,000
months after treatment finished the baby

816
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:09,190
was still in the clear potentially

817
00:33:15,870 --> 00:33:13,410
changing how HIV is treated in children

818
00:33:18,540 --> 00:33:15,880
coming in at number four is the first

819
00:33:20,940 --> 00:33:18,550
synthetic meat hamburger the one hundred

820
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:20,950
percent beef burger was made in the lab

821
00:33:25,830 --> 00:33:23,530
by growing muscle cells harvested from a

822
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:25,840
living cow it apparently tasted just

823
00:33:31,470 --> 00:33:29,530
like the real thing you're listening to

824
00:33:34,710 --> 00:33:31,480
a week in science from our aisles the

825
00:33:36,270 --> 00:33:34,720
top five science stories of 2013 number

826
00:33:38,490 --> 00:33:36,280
three on our list goes to the first

827
00:33:40,530 --> 00:33:38,500
human embryonic stem cell created using

828
00:33:42,810 --> 00:33:40,540
therapeutic cloning they took the

829
00:33:44,910 --> 00:33:42,820
nucleus from a human skin cell and then

830
00:33:46,170 --> 00:33:44,920
transferred it into an unfertilized egg

831
00:33:49,260 --> 00:33:46,180
that had had its genetic material

832
00:33:51,150 --> 00:33:49,270
removed these embryonic stem cells could

833
00:33:53,460 --> 00:33:51,160
be used in personalized therapies for a

834
00:33:55,170 --> 00:33:53,470
range of diseases but the use of human

835
00:33:59,360 --> 00:33:55,180
donor eggs has raised a number of

836
00:34:01,890 --> 00:33:59,370
ethical concerns at number 2 is the

837
00:34:04,590 --> 00:34:01,900
IPCC's fifth climate change report

838
00:34:06,570 --> 00:34:04,600
painting a pretty grim picture we can

839
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:06,580
now be ninety-five percent certain that

840
00:34:11,340 --> 00:34:08,770
humans are causing global warming with

841
00:34:14,010 --> 00:34:11,350
co2 concentrations rising forty percent

842
00:34:16,620 --> 00:34:14,020
since pre-industrial times by the end of

843
00:34:18,090 --> 00:34:16,630
this century the report predicts a two

844
00:34:20,730 --> 00:34:18,100
degree rise in the average global

845
00:34:23,310 --> 00:34:20,740
temperature a minimum twenty six

846
00:34:25,340 --> 00:34:23,320
centimeter rise in sea levels and more

847
00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:25,350
ocean warming and ocean acidification

848
00:34:30,419 --> 00:34:27,910
carrying a wide range of environmental

849
00:34:37,419 --> 00:34:34,359
this is it our top science story of 2013

850
00:34:39,299 --> 00:34:37,429
a NASA space probe this year ventured

851
00:34:43,210 --> 00:34:39,309
further into space and ever before

852
00:34:45,730 --> 00:34:43,220
voyager 1 was launched in 1977 and this

853
00:34:48,879 --> 00:34:45,740
year moved outside our solar system into

854
00:34:51,190 --> 00:34:48,889
interstellar space in april the probe

855
00:34:53,559 --> 00:34:51,200
recorded sounds of interstellar space as

856
00:34:58,750 --> 00:34:53,569
it meandered through the cosmos some 19

857
00:35:00,990 --> 00:34:58,760
billion kilometers away very cool that's

858
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:01,000

of year where we review the predictions

884
00:36:36,050 --> 00:36:34,170
of the psychics for 2013 why don't we do

885
00:36:39,710 --> 00:36:36,060
that Stefan now we both have a copy of

886
00:36:42,620 --> 00:36:39,720
the 2013 Australian psychics directory

887
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:42,630
your complete psychic guidance says I

888
00:36:48,740 --> 00:36:46,650
turn to page three ah televisa oh here

889
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:48,750
we are three I feel guided already but

890
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:50,250
more by you telling you to turn to page

what what what two day for see what did

893
00:36:59,300 --> 00:36:57,870
they petite with his a big crystal ball

894
00:37:01,340 --> 00:36:59,310
on the page and so it looks very

895
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:01,350
authentic so let's look at entertainment

896
00:37:06,410 --> 00:37:03,690
they predicted that the australian movie

897
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:06,420
the sapphires will win a Golden Globe

898
00:37:13,010 --> 00:37:10,050
Award and be nominated for an Oscar was

899
00:37:15,410 --> 00:37:13,020
that true fraid not on both counts oh ok

900
00:37:17,210 --> 00:37:15,420
so not a good start zero it's not a good

901
00:37:19,220 --> 00:37:17,220
start but the sudden death of a

902
00:37:21,770 --> 00:37:19,230
well-known Australian actor in Hollywood

903
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:21,780
from a massive heart attack will send

904
00:37:25,790 --> 00:37:23,490
shockwaves through the Aussie film

905
00:37:31,820 --> 00:37:25,800
community in Hollywood and Australia

906
00:37:34,460 --> 00:37:31,830
alike nope zero out of three games a

907
00:37:35,780 --> 00:37:34,470
good game very good ok so thank you

908
00:37:40,070 --> 00:37:35,790
brett vollis for those wonderful

909
00:37:41,900 --> 00:37:40,080
predictions finance india has a great

910
00:37:44,570 --> 00:37:41,910
interest in the use of silver as a

911
00:37:47,330 --> 00:37:44,580
currency due to the high price of gold

912
00:37:49,940 --> 00:37:47,340
silver is now accepted as part of a

913
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:49,950
bride's dowry I suppose I'll take

914
00:37:56,570 --> 00:37:53,570
anything well silver is always been the

915
00:37:58,700 --> 00:37:56,580
same and there's not a business and no

916
00:38:01,130 --> 00:37:58,710
and that production goes on to talk

917
00:38:04,820 --> 00:38:01,140
about the values I suggest keeping all

918
00:38:07,700 --> 00:38:04,830
the family silver as it is as it is will

919
00:38:10,790 --> 00:38:07,710
be type out there as it is will be worth

920
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:10,800
more than you think in the future too

921
00:38:15,740 --> 00:38:13,890
vague and there's no evidence to suggest

922
00:38:19,460 --> 00:38:15,750
that predictions anywhere near the mark

923
00:38:21,350 --> 00:38:19,470
so no zero out of my is not good whilst

924
00:38:23,060 --> 00:38:21,360
there may be difficulties in certain

925
00:38:25,550 --> 00:38:23,070
parts of the world economic conditions

926
00:38:28,310 --> 00:38:25,560
look set to improve dramatically for the

927
00:38:30,500 --> 00:38:28,320
first time in five years in 2013 Thank

928
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:30,510
You Simon Turnbull it's too vague it's

929
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:32,010
too but it's just too vague zero

930
00:38:35,950 --> 00:38:32,490
attitude

931
00:38:38,570 --> 00:38:35,960
now we'll give him like a million out of

932
00:38:41,420 --> 00:38:38,580
six because it was just so awesome yes

933
00:38:44,030 --> 00:38:41,430
fantastic what a fantastically accurate

934
00:38:47,750 --> 00:38:44,040
prediction the Australian dollar will

935
00:38:51,410 --> 00:38:47,760
peak at 1.09 compared to the u.s. dollar

936
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:51,420
and now it peaked at 105 so that's 0 out

937
00:38:56,780 --> 00:38:53,490
of seven so it's doubt about eighty

938
00:39:00,950 --> 00:38:56,790
cents is going down quicker okay from

939
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:00,960
about august two thousand psychics from

940
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:02,970
about if there's a psychic wouldn't they

941
00:39:07,670 --> 00:39:05,610
be very accurate from August the 14th or

942
00:39:10,550 --> 00:39:07,680
something it doesn't work that way it

943
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:10,560
doesn't thank you Richard from about

944
00:39:16,250 --> 00:39:13,650
august 2013 give or take a hundred years

945
00:39:18,290 --> 00:39:16,260
we're going to see some major upheaval

946
00:39:20,060 --> 00:39:18,300
with in Australia's large corporations

947
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:20,070
including government organizations a

948
00:39:25,250 --> 00:39:22,890
large company will be split in two maybe

949
00:39:27,230 --> 00:39:25,260
Telstra and other companies will feel

950
00:39:29,720 --> 00:39:27,240
the wrath of public opinion stacked

951
00:39:31,070 --> 00:39:29,730
against them forcing them to change the

952
00:39:32,990 --> 00:39:31,080
change will be interesting and

953
00:39:34,850 --> 00:39:33,000
catastrophic for one or two large

954
00:39:37,580 --> 00:39:34,860
companies which will be forced to close

955
00:39:39,950 --> 00:39:37,590
down putting thousands out of work wrong

956
00:39:42,620 --> 00:39:39,960
on the Pacific's also too vague as large

957
00:39:45,710 --> 00:39:42,630
companies closed down every year and

958
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:45,720
merge every year and what one would be

959
00:39:49,700 --> 00:39:47,130
tempted to think are they talking about

960
00:39:51,890 --> 00:39:49,710
Holden yeah but that closing down in a

961
00:39:53,900 --> 00:39:51,900
number of years and again it's simply

962
00:39:56,870 --> 00:39:53,910
too vague it's just not a usable

963
00:39:59,630 --> 00:39:56,880
prediction there's nothing you could get

964
00:40:01,849 --> 00:39:59,640
from that and look ahead and say right

965
00:40:03,950 --> 00:40:01,859
it means this this and this but he would

966
00:40:07,099 --> 00:40:03,960
he thought they'd hang out say he was a

967
00:40:09,620 --> 00:40:07,109
look-see I nailed yeah I nailed Holden

968
00:40:11,270 --> 00:40:09,630
and look at qantas is really in upheaval

969
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:11,280
I'm afraid a prediction that only works

970
00:40:16,460 --> 00:40:13,890
in hindsight it's not much of I'm giving

971
00:40:19,940 --> 00:40:16,470
that a 0 so 0 out of 10 predictions okay

972
00:40:22,250 --> 00:40:19,950
I see a number of mergers or takeovers

973
00:40:25,370 --> 00:40:22,260
for big icon companies in the banking

974
00:40:28,430 --> 00:40:25,380
financial sector throughout 2013 David

975
00:40:30,620 --> 00:40:28,440
Malone too vague and expected happens

976
00:40:33,019 --> 00:40:30,630
everything happens every day

977
00:40:34,730 --> 00:40:33,029
your other left me yeah we need it we

978
00:40:36,289 --> 00:40:34,740
should have given some names or

979
00:40:39,109 --> 00:40:36,299
something names and day that would have

980
00:40:41,900 --> 00:40:39,119
hell would have helped 2013 will see new

981
00:40:44,289 --> 00:40:41,910
growth in the building industry that

982
00:40:49,279 --> 00:40:44,299
never happens with many new jobs created

983
00:40:53,029 --> 00:40:49,289
this will keep this will keep growing

984
00:40:55,999 --> 00:40:53,039
into 2015 by then our economy will be at

985
00:40:58,880 --> 00:40:56,009
a very good level again is too vague I'm

986
00:41:01,309 --> 00:40:58,890
not not very accurate so that's 0 editor

987
00:41:03,230 --> 00:41:01,319
extremely vague i mean if there was no

988
00:41:05,059 --> 00:41:03,240
buildings being built maybe something

989
00:41:08,180 --> 00:41:05,069
wrong it would be something wrong i see

990
00:41:12,259 --> 00:41:08,190
buildings being built on the planet

991
00:41:16,579 --> 00:41:12,269
earth oh my goodness me global a

992
00:41:18,349 --> 00:41:16,589
prominent figure will fall in Japan and

993
00:41:22,279 --> 00:41:18,359
that's prediction number nine in the

994
00:41:24,559 --> 00:41:22,289
line yeah uh too vague and no reports

995
00:41:27,170 --> 00:41:24,569
that could fit and what does it mean

996
00:41:29,839 --> 00:41:27,180
somebody dies or somebody trip signs or

997
00:41:34,460 --> 00:41:29,849
trips ripped too vague of no use zero

998
00:41:36,170 --> 00:41:34,470
out of 13 mm or billboard of them fell

999
00:41:38,299 --> 00:41:36,180
over maybe that happen could happen and

1000
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:38,309
maybe it was usually accurate number ten

1001
00:41:43,220 --> 00:41:39,930
there will be increased Solar Flare

1002
00:41:46,009 --> 00:41:43,230
activity with March 14 17 20 third at

1003
00:41:48,380 --> 00:41:46,019
April 24th on particular of particular

1004
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:48,390
note communication systems will be

1005
00:41:51,980 --> 00:41:49,890
affected especially in the northern

1006
00:41:53,900 --> 00:41:51,990
hemisphere a spike in earthquake

1007
00:41:56,450 --> 00:41:53,910
activity will also occur on and around

1008
00:41:59,289 --> 00:41:56,460
these dates it was an increase in Solar

1009
00:42:01,849 --> 00:41:59,299
Flare activity but only I'll show oh

1010
00:42:03,980 --> 00:42:01,859
yeah what a great show their well that

1011
00:42:06,650 --> 00:42:03,990
fantastic admission increase of activity

1012
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:06,660
apart from that though the Sun is in a

1013
00:42:10,700 --> 00:42:08,490
natural 11-year cycle with increased

1014
00:42:13,549 --> 00:42:10,710
activity anyway and communication

1015
00:42:15,460 --> 00:42:13,559
systems are affected every year by solar

1016
00:42:18,829 --> 00:42:15,470
activity there this isn't this is

1017
00:42:20,779 --> 00:42:18,839
directed every second and their dates

1018
00:42:22,309 --> 00:42:20,789
mentioned the specific dates mentioned

1019
00:42:25,220 --> 00:42:22,319
nothing important happened and there was

1020
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:25,230
no increase a spike in a quake activity

1021
00:42:30,980 --> 00:42:27,450
around them too so all those predictions

1022
00:42:33,259 --> 00:42:30,990
as another 360 out of 61 okay number 11

1023
00:42:35,749 --> 00:42:33,269
schapelle corby will be released from

1024
00:42:37,249 --> 00:42:35,759
prison between September and november

1025
00:42:39,499 --> 00:42:37,259
two thousand thirteen must have missed

1026
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:39,509
that one nope zero is still in jail in

1027
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:39,850
jail

1028
00:42:45,630 --> 00:42:42,970
they kick your Santa Shannon okay Alex

1029
00:42:48,330 --> 00:42:45,640
forefoot says I feel there will be a

1030
00:42:50,820 --> 00:42:48,340
fire ripped through a hotel in Italy

1031
00:42:53,010 --> 00:42:50,830
with many lives lost not that I could

1032
00:42:56,490 --> 00:42:53,020
find not chair not not not yet still a

1033
00:42:59,160 --> 00:42:56,500
few days 20 out of 18 okay so far so bad

1034
00:43:01,890 --> 00:42:59,170
okay I this is fun read this and tell me

1035
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:01,900
if you think it's a prediction okay 13

1036
00:43:08,850 --> 00:43:05,290
yeah I see that the Ring of Fire is more

1037
00:43:11,820 --> 00:43:08,860
than ready to activate I feel there is a

1038
00:43:14,910 --> 00:43:11,830
chance of tsunami or month or monsoonal

1039
00:43:19,590 --> 00:43:14,920
weather in bali or thailand over our

1040
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:19,600
summer months they could be ways washing

1041
00:43:24,720 --> 00:43:22,930
on the shore as well japan is still not

1042
00:43:27,060 --> 00:43:24,730
in the clear with constant small

1043
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:27,070
earthquakes along their coastal areas oh

1044
00:43:31,590 --> 00:43:30,010
I feel concerned that the Fukushima

1045
00:43:34,170 --> 00:43:31,600
nuclear plant has not been properly

1046
00:43:36,180 --> 00:43:34,180
secured if there is a big earthquake or

1047
00:43:39,390 --> 00:43:36,190
tsunami in the region marine life and

1048
00:43:43,410 --> 00:43:39,400
habits and habitats in the Pacific Ocean

1049
00:43:46,230 --> 00:43:43,420
will be threatened is it what is this is

1050
00:43:48,780 --> 00:43:46,240
a prediction but I couldn't understand

1051
00:43:50,490 --> 00:43:48,790
what what this was what this was well I

1052
00:43:54,300 --> 00:43:50,500
mean it sounds like a lot of stuff that

1053
00:43:56,100 --> 00:43:54,310
is can be interpreted everyone I guess

1054
00:43:58,290 --> 00:43:56,110
at the nuclear power plant has not been

1055
00:44:00,360 --> 00:43:58,300
properly secured well yeah that's was

1056
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:00,370
known any but then she is if there is a

1057
00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:02,290
thing then the something will be

1058
00:44:06,930 --> 00:44:04,000
affected no that's not a pretty is not a

1059
00:44:08,460 --> 00:44:06,940
prediction them yeah if if a video hits

1060
00:44:10,650 --> 00:44:08,470
the earth then there will be no bday me

1061
00:44:12,330 --> 00:44:10,660
yes that's right I'm afraid it's all too

1062
00:44:16,650 --> 00:44:12,340
vague so I'm giving that all a big fat

1063
00:44:18,900 --> 00:44:16,660
zero ok 0 out of 1914 as China enters

1064
00:44:20,910 --> 00:44:18,910
the vaccination market care should be

1065
00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:20,920
taken as a vaccination will be found to

1066
00:44:26,580 --> 00:44:24,250
cause nerve hearing and brain damage in

1067
00:44:29,100 --> 00:44:26,590
infants and will cause many deaths when

1068
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:29,110
used in Africa and Asia there is likely

1069
00:44:33,660 --> 00:44:31,210
to start from Jude this is likely to

1070
00:44:36,300 --> 00:44:33,670
start from June but will be ongoing for

1071
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:36,310
several years more pharmacy products

1072
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:37,810
from China are likely to be found

1073
00:44:42,930 --> 00:44:40,210
contaminated or with the incorrect dose

1074
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:42,940
of chemicals well no on the first part

1075
00:44:46,470 --> 00:44:44,410
there's no evidence to suggest anything

1076
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:46,480
like that has happened at all and on the

1077
00:44:51,510 --> 00:44:49,090
second part that's sort of sadly it's

1078
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:51,520
sort of expected it is that there would

1079
00:44:56,220 --> 00:44:53,410
be the quality control inch

1080
00:44:59,400 --> 00:44:56,230
is not what we would hope so lutely

1081
00:45:01,980 --> 00:44:59,410
these things happen so one didn't happen

1082
00:45:05,430 --> 00:45:01,990
to is sadly expected I would give that

1083
00:45:08,310 --> 00:45:05,440
another zero so for them it's not buying

1084
00:45:09,660 --> 00:45:08,320
it yep 0 20 although that viagra i

1085
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:09,670

from a cactus being used to prevent

1093
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:34,900
brain bleeding it will be beneficial to

1094
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:38,770
brain surgery no no that I could

1095
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:40,810
possibly find now we are in the medical

1096
00:45:45,450 --> 00:45:42,850
journals all year dear one didn't show

1097
00:45:47,670 --> 00:45:45,460
Ali no.02 21 although he's probably has

1098
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:47,680
isn't it some cactus it makes you see

1099
00:45:53,070 --> 00:45:50,290
purple flowers probably is what he's

1100
00:45:55,230 --> 00:45:53,080
been doing okay 16 I have major concerns

1101
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:55,240
about our addictions to I phones and

1102
00:46:00,270 --> 00:45:57,610
smartphones I feel that there will be a

1103
00:46:03,180 --> 00:46:00,280
huge rising throat ear tongue and brain

1104
00:46:05,070 --> 00:46:03,190
cancers due to the you and thumb cancers

1105
00:46:07,260 --> 00:46:05,080
I suppose I will cancel to their due to

1106
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:07,270
the use of mobile phones I highly

1107
00:46:11,460 --> 00:46:09,010
recommend that people use the earpiece

1108
00:46:13,770 --> 00:46:11,470
or use their phone on speaker phone to

1109
00:46:16,530 --> 00:46:13,780
stop constant contact of the phone on

1110
00:46:18,630 --> 00:46:16,540
our neck and head areas well the first

1111
00:46:20,940 --> 00:46:18,640
part no didn't happen the second part

1112
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:20,950
for like just general advice yeah

1113
00:46:25,110 --> 00:46:23,050
there's nothing there that's not that's

1114
00:46:27,210 --> 00:46:25,120
not a hot prediction no I'm afraid not

1115
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:27,220
so 0 it for that one thanks Debbie

1116
00:46:32,850 --> 00:46:30,130
Malone Alex fulford says I feel that

1117
00:46:38,310 --> 00:46:32,860
there is a famous man now a very old

1118
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:38,320
gentleman that will pass oh really now

1119
00:46:43,020 --> 00:46:40,930
well goodness me he obviously old man

1120
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:43,030
dying he obviously meant peter o'toole

1121
00:46:48,300 --> 00:46:46,210
right ya know yes it could be Gough

1122
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:48,310
Whitlam it could be completely but it

1123
00:46:52,829 --> 00:46:51,010
was Peter was be right also the people

1124
00:46:55,289 --> 00:46:52,839
that's a hit come on

1125
00:46:56,969 --> 00:46:55,299
why I'm not given that my dear said an

1126
00:46:59,009 --> 00:46:56,979
old man would die and there's a picture

1127
00:47:00,749 --> 00:46:59,019
of Gotham on the page he looks a little

1128
00:47:05,479 --> 00:47:00,759
bit like people are talking like that

1129
00:47:08,999 --> 00:47:05,489
particular shot 0 out of 20 30 okay I

1130
00:47:13,559 --> 00:47:09,009
feel that 2030 will bring new technology

1131
00:47:15,779 --> 00:47:13,569
geez that's a shock and and closer to a

1132
00:47:18,329 --> 00:47:15,789
cure for cancer I also feel that a

1133
00:47:20,549 --> 00:47:18,339
conspiracy regarding hidden cure will

1134
00:47:23,459 --> 00:47:20,559
become more apparent when an official

1135
00:47:25,140 --> 00:47:23,469
lets it slip out this will have a huge

1136
00:47:28,249 --> 00:47:25,150
ramifications and calls for the

1137
00:47:30,569 --> 00:47:28,259
authorities to answer for their misdeeds

1138
00:47:32,430 --> 00:47:30,579
it's some sort of conspiracy theory it

1139
00:47:34,950 --> 00:47:32,440
sounds pretty weird to me but I

1140
00:47:37,759 --> 00:47:34,960
practically on there although there was

1141
00:47:40,049 --> 00:47:37,769
some breakthrough in Luke leukemia

1142
00:47:41,729 --> 00:47:40,059
something this year does it say that

1143
00:47:44,069 --> 00:47:41,739
that it will bring a new technology

1144
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:44,079
closer to a cure for cancer well that

1145
00:47:47,370 --> 00:47:45,729
happens it happens every step every

1146
00:47:48,749 --> 00:47:47,380
minute every day getting closer to a

1147
00:47:52,380 --> 00:47:48,759
cure every yeah and there's always a

1148
00:47:57,029 --> 00:47:52,390
breakthrough that brings that's 0 out of

1149
00:48:00,120 --> 00:47:57,039
25 okay a non reversing mirror will be

1150
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:00,130
released in 2013 this is in the

1151
00:48:05,549 --> 00:48:01,930
invention cutting room that I could find

1152
00:48:07,410 --> 00:48:05,559
you sure yeah an on reversing a so when

1153
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:07,420
you look you see ya off how can do that

1154
00:48:16,109 --> 00:48:11,170
on iPhones anyway for that no no no this

1155
00:48:17,549 --> 00:48:16,119
sorry 0 out of 26 ever did maybe if you

1156
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:17,559
look in a normal mirror and cross your

1157
00:48:21,959 --> 00:48:19,450
eyes that was that work that might do

1158
00:48:24,690 --> 00:48:21,969
okay a new technology will revolutionize

1159
00:48:27,180 --> 00:48:24,700
the web yet again and we'll have us have

1160
00:48:29,279 --> 00:48:27,190
us glued to the screen of whatever media

1161
00:48:31,620 --> 00:48:29,289
we choose to view it on the next issue

1162
00:48:33,690 --> 00:48:31,630
will be the broadband speeds needed to

1163
00:48:35,999 --> 00:48:33,700
keep up with the traffic of people

1164
00:48:37,799 --> 00:48:36,009
constantly streaming on the web or the

1165
00:48:41,009 --> 00:48:37,809
first part nothing apart in the second

1166
00:48:43,229 --> 00:48:41,019
part well there is a new blogging

1167
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:43,239
platform called ghost which is starting

1168
00:48:48,209 --> 00:48:45,130
to take off however it's really low

1169
00:48:49,859 --> 00:48:48,219
bandwidth so bad so actually I have

1170
00:48:51,539 --> 00:48:49,869
nothing to do with with broadband I

1171
00:48:53,549 --> 00:48:51,549
think the first part of that was true at

1172
00:48:55,620 --> 00:48:53,559
all we'd all know about sorry yeah no

1173
00:48:58,019 --> 00:48:55,630
yeah and didn't revolutionize anything

1174
00:49:01,979 --> 00:48:58,029
that's for sure yeah revolutionize the

1175
00:49:04,229 --> 00:49:01,989
web now politics labor will win the 2013

1176
00:49:05,170 --> 00:49:04,239
election with a clear lead did that

1177
00:49:07,150 --> 00:49:05,180
happen

1178
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:07,160
I don't think so not in this universe

1179
00:49:11,770 --> 00:49:09,650
they will not need the support from the

1180
00:49:15,010 --> 00:49:11,780
greens to remain in power would be such

1181
00:49:16,750 --> 00:49:15,020
a big lead mm-hmm did that happen I what

1182
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:16,760
do you think not in his universe a

1183
00:49:20,950 --> 00:49:19,130
vision for the future of Australia and

1184
00:49:24,069 --> 00:49:20,960
ability to make tough decisions will be

1185
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:24,079
the swaying power at the polls well yeah

1186
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:26,930
I would hope so so the first part simply

1187
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:28,490
didn't happen the second part is like

1188
00:49:32,710 --> 00:49:30,410
watch what would happen in every

1189
00:49:35,349 --> 00:49:32,720
election year then come the party that

1190
00:49:37,750 --> 00:49:35,359
sells itself yeah they're usually well

1191
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:37,760
possibly that it's weighed them in the

1192
00:49:40,690 --> 00:49:39,290
other direction because I didn't have a

1193
00:49:41,740 --> 00:49:40,700
vision for the future and they didn't

1194
00:49:43,599 --> 00:49:41,750
have the ability to make tough decisions

1195
00:49:45,339 --> 00:49:43,609
that's why they lost maybe that's a

1196
00:49:48,609 --> 00:49:45,349
negative point no it stills it that's 0

1197
00:49:50,470 --> 00:49:48,619
229 oh good this week australia will

1198
00:49:52,329 --> 00:49:50,480
mourn the passing of a former prime

1199
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:52,339
minister who dies from heart related

1200
00:49:57,910 --> 00:49:55,010
problems what a former prime minister of

1201
00:50:03,549 --> 00:49:57,920
this country and I think that's what

1202
00:50:05,829 --> 00:50:03,559
they meant but it didn't happen Kevin

1203
00:50:08,559 --> 00:50:05,839
Rudd is likely to return to political

1204
00:50:10,690 --> 00:50:08,569
life again Tony Abbott will never be

1205
00:50:12,819 --> 00:50:10,700
Prime Minister well I sorry I should

1206
00:50:14,470 --> 00:50:12,829
repeat the outside again Kevin Rudd is

1207
00:50:17,289 --> 00:50:14,480
likely to return to political life again

1208
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:17,299
Prime Minister Tony Abbott would never

1209
00:50:22,420 --> 00:50:20,690
be Prime Minister well the problem is

1210
00:50:24,579 --> 00:50:22,430
the first part is Kevin Rudd didn't

1211
00:50:26,170 --> 00:50:24,589
leave political life during me when this

1212
00:50:27,700 --> 00:50:26,180
was written he was still in Parliament

1213
00:50:29,049 --> 00:50:27,710
yeah that's right he did come back as

1214
00:50:30,670 --> 00:50:29,059
prime minister but it doesn't say that

1215
00:50:33,190 --> 00:50:30,680
there he just it just his political life

1216
00:50:36,030 --> 00:50:33,200
he never left it and the second part is

1217
00:50:39,460 --> 00:50:36,040
well obviously not didn't happen at all

1218
00:50:41,770 --> 00:50:39,470
our prime minister is Tony of it ah 0

1219
00:50:43,510 --> 00:50:41,780
out of 31 Malcolm Turnbull will be the

1220
00:50:45,130 --> 00:50:43,520
new opposition leader his

1221
00:50:46,660 --> 00:50:45,140
straightforward manner and positive

1222
00:50:48,339 --> 00:50:46,670
attitude will help to change the

1223
00:50:52,270 --> 00:50:48,349
public's outlook on the National Party

1224
00:50:53,740 --> 00:50:52,280
for the better nope no 13-0 35th I feel

1225
00:50:55,900 --> 00:50:53,750
that we will have a public announcement

1226
00:50:58,270 --> 00:50:55,910
just before Christmas it feels like a

1227
00:51:01,539 --> 00:50:58,280
change in leadership for labor I see a

1228
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:01,549
man with medium brown hair of a serious

1229
00:51:06,309 --> 00:51:04,010
nature at a bit of a warrior but someone

1230
00:51:09,370 --> 00:51:06,319
who plays it straight down the line no

1231
00:51:11,079 --> 00:51:09,380
ifs or buts to vagin didn't happen we

1232
00:51:14,079 --> 00:51:11,089
had a new opposition leader months ago

1233
00:51:16,380 --> 00:51:14,089
yes it's just before Christmas now right

1234
00:51:18,720 --> 00:51:16,390
oh yeah that's right just before it did

1235
00:51:22,259 --> 00:51:18,730
happen didn't happen now on there will

1236
00:51:23,700 --> 00:51:22,269
be some people out there prepared to

1237
00:51:25,859 --> 00:51:23,710
give these people lots of wiggle worm

1238
00:51:27,900 --> 00:51:25,869
and leave I said oh yeah that's not the

1239
00:51:29,339 --> 00:51:27,910
prediction that's what we call moving

1240
00:51:31,890 --> 00:51:29,349
the goalposts if something doesn't work

1241
00:51:35,490 --> 00:51:31,900
you say well I really you know yeah give

1242
00:51:40,019 --> 00:51:35,500
or take 10 years yes Royals finally baby

1243
00:51:41,279 --> 00:51:40,029
news for Will and Kate yes oh my but the

1244
00:51:42,930 --> 00:51:41,289
first one they've actually got rota

1245
00:51:45,299 --> 00:51:42,940
someone out of hell and i'm being

1246
00:51:48,089 --> 00:51:45,309
generous here because that was

1247
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:48,099
absolutely anticipated and expected it's

1248
00:51:52,049 --> 00:51:49,930
no shock or surprise and it's a pretty

1249
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:52,059
lame prediction but you know what yeah

1250
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:53,890
they give it time pretty i'm feeling

1251
00:52:00,120 --> 00:51:57,010
sorry for them so it's one out of 34 so

1252
00:52:01,620 --> 00:52:00,130
far and elderly royal passes mid year

1253
00:52:03,359 --> 00:52:01,630
but happiness returns with the

1254
00:52:05,670 --> 00:52:03,369
announcement of a baby jus later in the

1255
00:52:07,470 --> 00:52:05,680
year this will be a baby boy well no on

1256
00:52:09,900 --> 00:52:07,480
the first part but the second part again

1257
00:52:12,720 --> 00:52:09,910
it was a boy it was a boy so let's give

1258
00:52:15,660 --> 00:52:12,730
them another one that's two out of 36

1259
00:52:18,210 --> 00:52:15,670
well that's amazing sport I see

00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:18,220
Collingwood AFL linked to handouts and

1261
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:21,490
illegal transactions linked what does

1262
00:52:26,099 --> 00:52:23,410
that mean that's what we call a weasel

1263
00:52:28,349 --> 00:52:26,109
word means were they involved directly

1264
00:52:29,819 --> 00:52:28,359
or somebody know involves everybody who

1265
00:52:32,039 --> 00:52:29,829
knew somebody else did you know buddy I

1266
00:52:35,099 --> 00:52:32,049
couldn't find any startling references

1267
00:52:36,420 --> 00:52:35,109
to this so know I together feel the game

1268
00:52:40,559 --> 00:52:36,430
of cricket will be brought in to

1269
00:52:42,420 --> 00:52:40,569
distribute once more to world-class

1270
00:52:45,029 --> 00:52:42,430
players will be connected to underhanded

1271
00:52:46,650 --> 00:52:45,039
dealings with match-fixing and money one

1272
00:52:48,240 --> 00:52:46,660
of these players who is from overseas

1273
00:52:50,099 --> 00:52:48,250
will be disgraced in their country and

1274
00:52:51,749 --> 00:52:50,109
possibly given jail time the other

1275
00:52:53,670 --> 00:52:51,759
player is closer to home and will

1276
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:53,680
inevitably be dismissed and banned for

1277
00:53:00,059 --> 00:52:55,690
life I also feel an important figure in

1278
00:53:02,220 --> 00:53:00,069
the sport will also be shamed no no no

1279
00:53:04,259 --> 00:53:02,230
sorry no to all three predictions

1280
00:53:05,819 --> 00:53:04,269
happening like two years ago or

1281
00:53:07,799 --> 00:53:05,829
something it happens every now and then

1282
00:53:10,980 --> 00:53:07,809
there's nothing dramatic okay and in

1283
00:53:13,109 --> 00:53:10,990
this year so that's a big fat no on all

1284
00:53:15,900 --> 00:53:13,119
those three predictions were that's now

1285
00:53:18,809 --> 00:53:15,910
to correct out of 40 okay and the soccer

1286
00:53:20,970 --> 00:53:18,819
ruse will do very well in 2013 with

1287
00:53:23,039 --> 00:53:20,980
positive energy envelope in the team

1288
00:53:24,180 --> 00:53:23,049
well no they didn't do particularly well

1289
00:53:26,460 --> 00:53:24,190
this year they had their ups and downs

1290
00:53:28,019 --> 00:53:26,470
but nothing outstanding and the sex is a

1291
00:53:29,309 --> 00:53:28,029
today because you could say oh they did

1292
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:29,319
well even though they lost every single

1293
00:53:31,260 --> 00:53:29,770
game

1294
00:53:33,540 --> 00:53:31,270
they could have positive energy and a

1295
00:53:37,020 --> 00:53:33,550
pressure looking like completely failed

1296
00:53:39,180 --> 00:53:37,030
yeah science all this aluminum I see the

1297
00:53:42,390 --> 00:53:39,190
discovery of bones of a very large bird

1298
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:42,400
that was previously unknown nothing that

1299
00:53:46,590 --> 00:53:44,050
I could find in the records there are

1300
00:53:48,030 --> 00:53:46,600
birds and things like this discovered

1301
00:53:49,650 --> 00:53:48,040
quite frequently yeah but there's

1302
00:53:52,650 --> 00:53:49,660
nothing outstanding like a very large

1303
00:53:55,830 --> 00:53:52,660
bird no actually no I you might be on

1304
00:53:58,110 --> 00:53:55,840
this one my my uncle Burt actually found

1305
00:54:01,320 --> 00:53:58,120
the bones of Matilda the giant chicken

1306
00:54:03,420 --> 00:54:01,330
thank you was that from the Christmas a

1307
00:54:05,340 --> 00:54:03,430
couple years ago so no no she died of

1308
00:54:07,050 --> 00:54:05,350
natural causes all right no I don't

1309
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:07,060
think it counts about scientific

1310
00:54:12,930 --> 00:54:09,490
fracking is a major concern on the

1311
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:12,940
eastern seaboard yeah yeah but that's

1312
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:15,490
the prediction in fact it is a concern

1313
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:17,050
we need to listen to the issues that

1314
00:54:20,940 --> 00:54:18,970
have occurred overseas due to this type

1315
00:54:22,950 --> 00:54:20,950
of gas extraction that's not a

1316
00:54:24,510 --> 00:54:22,960
prediction I all is a prediction I

1317
00:54:27,030 --> 00:54:24,520
foresee that fracking will cause

1318
00:54:29,370 --> 00:54:27,040
earthquakes contamination to the water

1319
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:29,380
table and landslips in the areas that

1320
00:54:33,540 --> 00:54:31,690
will be mined there's no evidence to

1321
00:54:35,490 --> 00:54:33,550
support that there are people protest

1322
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:35,500
against fracking and all sorts of things

1323
00:54:38,730 --> 00:54:36,850
but as yet there is no compelling

1324
00:54:41,250 --> 00:54:38,740
evidence to suggest that fracking causes

1325
00:54:44,250 --> 00:54:41,260
earthquakes and all these ok thanks to

1326
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:44,260
Eddie Malone UFOs will be seen more

1327
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:45,970
frequently especially over New York

1328
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:47,770
there will be some formal government

1329
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:50,770
acknowledgement of their existence more

1330
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:53,170
UFO seen in Australia by commercial

1331
00:54:58,350 --> 00:54:54,850
pilots especially in the alice springs

1332
00:54:59,700 --> 00:54:58,360
or larue region Qantas pilots and

1333
00:55:03,840 --> 00:54:59,710
passengers will have a close encounter

1334
00:55:06,900 --> 00:55:03,850
of some kind in Australia well yeah and

1335
00:55:09,570 --> 00:55:06,910
we could wish it was true but no on all

1336
00:55:11,690 --> 00:55:09,580
four predictions that's two out of 48

1337
00:55:14,190 --> 00:55:11,700
Thank You Elizabeth Jensen weather

1338
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:14,200
Australia is in for the worst wild

1339
00:55:20,460 --> 00:55:16,210
weather we have ever had especially on

1340
00:55:22,740 --> 00:55:20,470
the East Coast no no I mean we had some

1341
00:55:24,870 --> 00:55:22,750
hot days and we had some storms like

1342
00:55:28,290 --> 00:55:24,880
every year and Benson diverse world

1343
00:55:31,050 --> 00:55:28,300
weather ever no no not true tremors or

1344
00:55:33,450 --> 00:55:31,060
earthquake activity to hit on western

1345
00:55:35,910 --> 00:55:33,460
side of America doing a lot of damage

1346
00:55:38,850 --> 00:55:35,920
around major cities as well as open

1347
00:55:41,250 --> 00:55:38,860
areas nothing else

1348
00:55:43,740 --> 00:55:41,260
no I had tremors an earthquake activity

1349
00:55:49,110 --> 00:55:43,750
happen every year unless I America yeah

1350
00:55:50,910 --> 00:55:49,120
not Europe infra mini ice age Oh was

1351
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:50,920
that go there on a hot day like this but

1352
00:55:57,140 --> 00:55:53,890
no nope that up two out of two right out

1353
00:55:59,670 --> 00:55:57,150
of 51 so far our earth is still moving

1354
00:56:01,380 --> 00:55:59,680
I'm sorry I finish a sentence factor our

1355
00:56:06,240 --> 00:56:01,390
earth is still moving through a

1356
00:56:08,190 --> 00:56:06,250
cleansing period really and yeah till I

1357
00:56:11,190 --> 00:56:08,200
got an asteroid belt of like washing

1358
00:56:14,460 --> 00:56:11,200
detergent it must be a giant what as we

1359
00:56:16,290 --> 00:56:14,470
see in the sky H night so I believe we

1360
00:56:18,630 --> 00:56:16,300
will continue to experience natural

1361
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:18,640
catastrophic events globally especially

1362
00:56:23,250 --> 00:56:20,770
water related disasters such as flooding

1363
00:56:24,810 --> 00:56:23,260
and tsunamis well it just happens all

1364
00:56:26,730 --> 00:56:24,820
the time it's too vague it's I mean the

1365
00:56:29,340 --> 00:56:26,740
first parts just just New Age babble and

1366
00:56:31,950 --> 00:56:29,350
the second part is it happens at all a

1367
00:56:34,700 --> 00:56:31,960
time no no bushfires will be a major

1368
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:34,710
concern in southeast Queensland in early

1369
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:39,490
2013 if it happen and nothing out of the

1370
00:56:43,290 --> 00:56:41,770
ordinary nothing especially no and the

1371
00:56:45,780 --> 00:56:43,300
second part didn't happen which says

1372
00:56:47,220 --> 00:56:45,790
there will be very large front with some

1373
00:56:49,830 --> 00:56:47,230
fire spreading into northern New South

1374
00:56:52,410 --> 00:56:49,840
Wales a lot of areas will be burnt out

1375
00:56:55,110 --> 00:56:52,420
not didn't happen no no that happened

1376
00:56:56,910 --> 00:56:55,120
later on in the year in near Sydney of

1377
00:56:58,290 --> 00:56:56,920
course yeah that's right said that no

1378
00:56:59,460 --> 00:56:58,300
that's if anyone knows northern New

1379
00:57:01,830 --> 00:56:59,470
South Wales they probably would have

1380
00:57:03,900 --> 00:57:01,840
been quite a few fires refinery yeah in

1381
00:57:05,790 --> 00:57:03,910
in bed but most of my most of them were

1382
00:57:08,580 --> 00:57:05,800
just people lighting choices right ok

1383
00:57:11,580 --> 00:57:08,590
and the next one more earthquakes for

1384
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:11,590
China in early 2013 in areas already

1385
00:57:15,810 --> 00:57:13,570
affected in recent years well how looked

1386
00:57:17,940 --> 00:57:15,820
into that one and guess there were some

1387
00:57:19,770 --> 00:57:17,950
earthquakes in areas affected in recent

1388
00:57:22,890 --> 00:57:19,780
years so I sort of have to give that one

1389
00:57:25,020 --> 00:57:22,900
yet but earthquakes tend to happen in

1390
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:25,030
air signs are safe so the spots but oh

1391
00:57:29,310 --> 00:57:27,250
hi I'm feeling generous yeah you go give

1392
00:57:31,260 --> 00:57:29,320
him that one yeah I i see a quake in

1393
00:57:33,780 --> 00:57:31,270
june or july in the Northern Territory

1394
00:57:36,630 --> 00:57:33,790
Central Australia of a moderate scale no

1395
00:57:38,790 --> 00:57:36,640
but there will not be much damaged due

1396
00:57:41,460 --> 00:57:38,800
to location and the fact that it didn't

1397
00:57:43,770 --> 00:57:41,470
have haven't happened august 2013 sees

1398
00:57:46,350 --> 00:57:43,780
another minor earthquake in adelaide or

1399
00:57:48,390 --> 00:57:46,360
nearby Mount Lofty ranges not that I

1400
00:57:50,670 --> 00:57:48,400
could see on the charts now I see a

1401
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:50,680
minor quake from Melbourne in April or

1402
00:57:52,950 --> 00:57:51,490
May

1403
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:52,960
not that I could see on the charge now

1404
00:57:59,580 --> 00:57:56,650
and Tokyo in February no Tokyo will

1405
00:58:01,950 --> 00:57:59,590
experience another quake in July no with

1406
00:58:03,870 --> 00:58:01,960
some loss of life now well look there

1407
00:58:06,630 --> 00:58:03,880
are quakes barrick tremors and quakes

1408
00:58:08,490 --> 00:58:06,640
around Tokyo and Japan frequently yeah

1409
00:58:10,470 --> 00:58:08,500
but the ones that they're discussing

1410
00:58:14,670 --> 00:58:10,480
that there wasn't anything apparent so

1411
00:58:18,180 --> 00:58:14,680
so far we have three out of 59 and

1412
00:58:20,910 --> 00:58:18,190
that's the last of us on that was that

1413
00:58:23,270 --> 00:58:20,920
was actually shockingly bad yet about

1414
00:58:26,430 --> 00:58:23,280
you know what what what did they miss

1415
00:58:28,350 --> 00:58:26,440
along what did we expect or we should

1416
00:58:30,570 --> 00:58:28,360
have seen in a while come on Richard hit

1417
00:58:33,180 --> 00:58:30,580

00:59:11,220 --> 00:59:09,010
absolutely off the circuit radar here we

1432
00:59:12,830 --> 00:59:11,230
go in April again a eight-story

6,000 dead yeah that not a peep just

landing on the moon

1453
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:06,950
that would have been nice to know like

1454
01:00:11,230 --> 01:00:09,170
to them predict that one good on I mean

1455
01:00:12,820 --> 01:00:11,240
that one you could have even knows order

1456
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:12,830
by the millions who are working on the

1457
01:00:17,350 --> 01:00:14,450
program for the last five years and

1458
01:00:21,010 --> 01:00:17,360
amongst the people that died this year

1459
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:21,020
Margaret Thatcher and David Frost very

1460
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:23,570
famous Manas thistles Peter O'Toole the

1461
01:00:28,750 --> 01:00:25,490
actor of course many other people and of

1462
01:00:30,370 --> 01:00:28,760
course Nelson Mandela yeah we've shot

1464
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:32,330
gough whitlam but he didn't die Nelson

1465
01:00:36,550 --> 01:00:34,970
Mandela in his in his 90s yeah not a

1466
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:36,560
single psychic reading to that but they

1467
01:00:43,630 --> 01:00:41,090
said some old guy might die I know

1468
01:00:45,490 --> 01:00:43,640
that's a long shot but you know you know

1469
01:00:47,380 --> 01:00:45,500
Stefan we might laugh at these psychics

1470
01:00:49,630 --> 01:00:47,390
we might we might be might but we're not

1471
01:00:52,180 --> 01:00:49,640
going to because they charge six dollars

1472
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:52,190
95 minutes magazine actually that one

1473
01:00:56,140 --> 01:00:54,050
was free it was given to me either had a

1474
01:00:56,980 --> 01:00:56,150
psychic thing but this one is it that's

1475
01:01:00,280 --> 01:00:56,990
about what it's worth but this

1476
01:01:02,530 --> 01:01:00,290
copyrighted people ah but you I notice

1477
01:01:04,420 --> 01:01:02,540
you've been looking into your mystical

1478
01:01:05,740 --> 01:01:04,430
realms and coming up with some

1479
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:05,750
predictions yes sir I've got a couple of

1480
01:01:09,970 --> 01:01:07,130
predictions but before we go any further

1481
01:01:12,130 --> 01:01:09,980
I'd like to hear from all the audience

1482
01:01:14,650 --> 01:01:12,140
your own predictions because it's that

1483
01:01:16,900 --> 01:01:14,660
time of year what about 10 predictions

1484
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:16,910
together and and log them put them on

1485
01:01:21,810 --> 01:01:19,130
facebook yeah and then we will check in

1486
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:21,820
and see if it's basically going to be a

1487
01:01:28,210 --> 01:01:26,090
2014 psychic versus skeptic prediction

1488
01:01:30,220 --> 01:01:28,220
war yeah we don't have the directory for

1489
01:01:31,510 --> 01:01:30,230
next year yet not coming out in a few

1490
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:31,520
weeks and then we'll see what their

1491
01:01:37,300 --> 01:01:35,090
predictions for from for 2014 2014 yeah

1492
01:01:38,950 --> 01:01:37,310
and then what we'll do a compare those

1493
01:01:40,990 --> 01:01:38,960
ones in this year we just ran out there

1494
01:01:45,580 --> 01:01:41,000
boils down to roughly five percent right

1495
01:01:47,500 --> 01:01:45,590
so 95% fail I guess what really I would

1496
01:01:48,849 --> 01:01:47,510
suggest that the skeptics would probably

1497
01:01:51,970 --> 01:01:48,859
do a much better job because actually

1498
01:01:53,020 --> 01:01:51,980
you can extrapolate things quite well if

1499
01:01:54,609 --> 01:01:53,030
you kind of have a fairly good

1500
01:01:56,530 --> 01:01:54,619
understanding of what goes on in the

1501
01:01:58,450 --> 01:01:56,540
world these people are just hopeless and

1502
01:01:59,710 --> 01:01:58,460
it seemed so doesn't think you're being

1503
01:02:02,200 --> 01:01:59,720
hope as a prediction all right what do

1504
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:02,210
we got okay I'm predicting yet someone

1505
01:02:08,950 --> 01:02:04,970
who played piano or organ on a Rolling

1506
01:02:11,089 --> 01:02:08,960
Stones album will die in 2014 so how

1507
01:02:14,779 --> 01:02:11,099
many people you reckon played piano

1508
01:02:17,900 --> 01:02:14,789
over 50 years I don't know that's my

1509
01:02:19,519 --> 01:02:17,910
psychic prediction wow kanye West is

1510
01:02:22,549 --> 01:02:19,529
going to be murdered in an underworld

1511
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:22,559
head that's a bold pretty gap but in a

1512
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:25,410
very very tragic another prediction yeah

1513
01:02:33,079 --> 01:02:30,690
Justin Bieber won't I think another

1514
01:02:35,479 --> 01:02:33,089
prediction is that the fast and furious

1515
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:35,489
Paul Walker who died tragically in a car

1516
01:02:39,319 --> 01:02:37,410
accident recently yeah will not be

1517
01:02:41,630 --> 01:02:39,329
reconstituted back to life from his

1518
01:02:44,329 --> 01:02:41,640
charred carcass using a revolutionary

1519
01:02:46,069 --> 01:02:44,339
technology so he can finish the fastest

1520
01:02:47,839 --> 01:02:46,079
oh yes you're breaking that one it won't

1521
01:02:51,319 --> 01:02:47,849
happen yeah I'm predicting another long

1522
01:02:54,799 --> 01:02:51,329
shot no I'm pretty confident about that

1523
01:02:57,019 --> 01:02:54,809
one they're in finance yeah Australians

1524
01:02:59,120 --> 01:02:57,029
for big four banks will all register

1525
01:03:01,249 --> 01:02:59,130
record quarterly profits despite an

1526
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:01,259
ailing economy and their board will be

1527
01:03:07,670 --> 01:03:05,130
sacked for not doing a better job that's

1528
01:03:10,069 --> 01:03:07,680
my prediction and of another one in

1529
01:03:12,349 --> 01:03:10,079
finance Zimbabwe and the Democratic

1530
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:12,359
Republic of Congo will swap places on

1531
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:14,970
the IMF ranking list of gdp per capita

1532
01:03:21,559 --> 01:03:19,410
so Congo will move up one to number 186

1533
01:03:24,079 --> 01:03:21,569
on the list and Zimbabwe will move down

1534
01:03:26,209 --> 01:03:24,089
one to last place after six year old boy

1535
01:03:28,910 --> 01:03:26,219
accidentally drops a thousand trillion

1536
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:28,920
zimbabwe dollar coin down the drain it

1537
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:31,170
might happen I practice my how I

1538
01:03:36,859 --> 01:03:33,890
predicting that it will and also a

1539
01:03:38,989 --> 01:03:36,869
massive volcano will erupt somewhere in

1540
01:03:40,700 --> 01:03:38,999
the solar system ooh causing immense

1541
01:03:43,130 --> 01:03:40,710
damage to the surrounding terrain that

1542
01:03:45,739 --> 01:03:43,140
could happen I'm guessing that it will

1543
01:03:46,969 --> 01:03:45,749
just might I'm particular well there we

1544
01:03:49,690 --> 01:03:46,979

scathing exposé of the clinic in the FDA

1563
01:04:42,259 --> 01:04:40,319
the Houston cancer quack com website is

1564
01:04:44,210 --> 01:04:42,269
asking everyone in America to write to

1565
01:04:46,279 --> 01:04:44,220
their Congress representatives asking to

1566
01:04:49,039 --> 01:04:46,289

petitions on change.org from families

1587
01:05:35,690 --> 01:05:33,690
trying to get Congress to allow

1588
01:05:37,279 --> 01:05:35,700
compassionate exemptions so that they

1589
01:05:39,890 --> 01:05:37,289

01:05:47,239 --> 01:05:44,849
are asking to sign these petitions if

1593
01:05:50,029 --> 01:05:47,249
they're not part of the family and I do

1594
01:05:52,609 --> 01:05:50,039
mean kindly we have already talked to

1595
01:05:54,410 --> 01:05:52,619
change.org whose policy is not to take

1596
01:05:56,900 --> 01:05:54,420
down a petition even if it is from a

1597
01:05:59,479 --> 01:05:56,910
quack but then there's more that you can

1598

English Burzynski page is all updated

1604
01:06:15,499 --> 01:06:12,450
with the current FDA slap downs and the

1605
01:06:17,479 --> 01:06:15,509
USA Today investigations about 600

1606
01:06:20,660 --> 01:06:17,489
people visit the english wikipedia page

1607
01:06:22,460 --> 01:06:20,670
a day and those aren't all skeptics we

page I can vouch for is when translated

1617
01:06:42,910 --> 01:06:41,510
by my team member nixdorf who has come

1618
01:06:45,010 --> 01:06:42,920
through time and time again over the

1619
01:06:47,260 --> 01:06:45,020
last year for me and this time in

1620
01:06:49,990 --> 01:06:47,270
Portuguese other team members are

1621
01:06:51,910 --> 01:06:50,000
working on other translations but where

1622
01:06:54,190 --> 01:06:51,920
does that leave you well we need you to

1623
01:06:56,380 --> 01:06:54,200
select the best articles explaining

1624
01:06:58,450 --> 01:06:56,390
Burzynski and translate them so that we

1625
01:06:59,920 --> 01:06:58,460
can recite them back onto the wikipedia

1626
01:07:02,290 --> 01:06:59,930
page for people to read in other

1627
01:07:04,650 --> 01:07:02,300
languages also the videos that David

1628
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:04,660
Gorski and Bob blaskowitz did at Tim

1629
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:07,730
explaining who Brzezinski is need to be

1630
01:07:12,100 --> 01:07:09,530
captioned into English and then

1631
01:07:13,990 --> 01:07:12,110
translated into other languages the

1632
01:07:16,330 --> 01:07:14,000
fight with Pierzynski is not even kind

1633
01:07:17,980 --> 01:07:16,340
of over there is a possibility we'll

1634
01:07:20,530 --> 01:07:17,990
move his clinic to other countries and

1635
01:07:22,330 --> 01:07:20,540
we need to be ready connected to that

1636
01:07:24,070 --> 01:07:22,340
country skeptic group so we can give

1637
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:24,080
them the best tools to keep fighting and

1638
01:07:28,540 --> 01:07:26,090
when when we're done with Bruce in

1639
01:07:30,580 --> 01:07:28,550
scheme we're not done there are a bunch

1640
01:07:33,730 --> 01:07:30,590
more waiting for our attention but we

1641
01:07:36,310 --> 01:07:33,740
will be stronger organized united and

1642
01:07:38,610 --> 01:07:36,320
already trained and resourceful so we

1643
01:07:42,910 --> 01:07:38,620
