00:01:38,170 --> 00:01:36,290 ninth of July 2016 what happens when you 30 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:38,180 with Maynard coming up on this week's 31 00:01:41,980 --> 00:01:39,050 show we're going to be talking about 32 00:01:44,020 --> 00:01:41,990 Noah's Ark all the replica of it in at 33 00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:44,030 Kentucky we're going to be interviewing 34 00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:45,710 an old friend of the skeptic zone dr. 35 00:01:51,580 --> 00:01:48,880 Eugenie Scott who certainly knows about 36 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:51,590 creationism and evolution and all that 37 00:01:55,690 --> 00:01:53,090 sort of stuff so yes they've built a 38 00:01:57,969 --> 00:01:55,700 full-scale replica of Noah's Ark in 39 00:02:00,580 --> 00:01:57,979 Kentucky Maynard would complete with 40 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:00,590 cages of dinosaurs and it's been built 41 00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:02,810 by Amos people as well i believe it was 42 00:02:06,580 --> 00:02:04,910 explained that they they were the ones 43 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:06,590 that had the great woodworking skills to 44 00:02:11,170 --> 00:02:09,649 do it and they've done it I just hope it 45 00:02:13,180 --> 00:02:11,180 doesn't rain a lot although I guess if 46 00:02:15,449 --> 00:02:13,190 it does rain lot it'll come in handy yep 47 00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:15,459 that's the place to be for trains or but 48 00:02:20,350 --> 00:02:17,840 also coming up on this week's show 49 00:02:23,380 --> 00:02:20,360 Shelley stockin who a couple of weeks 50 00:02:25,510 --> 00:02:23,390 ago did a report on naturopaths she's 51 00:02:28,690 --> 00:02:25,520 going to be talking about Freeman on the 52 00:02:31,390 --> 00:02:28,700 land Maynard now this is where if you 53 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:31,400 say the right thing to a police officer 54 00:02:35,650 --> 00:02:32,810 or you're in find yourself in a legal 55 00:02:38,410 --> 00:02:35,660 situation a you can declare yourself not 56 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:38,420 a corporate entity and avoid prosecution 57 00:02:44,020 --> 00:02:41,570 and perhaps even taxes that's their 58 00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:44,030 thinking so when the police come calling 59 00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:45,650 for various fines or whatever they just 60 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:47,510 protest and they say they're free and 61 00:02:51,940 --> 00:02:49,610 they don't have to obey the law it's 62 00:02:53,830 --> 00:02:51,950 really really quite silly look I once 63 00:02:56,860 --> 00:02:53,840 did a story with a gentleman in Perth 64 00:02:58,780 --> 00:02:56,870 who has a car impounded for import tax 65 00:03:01,560 --> 00:02:58,790 and he has actually been sending 66 00:03:03,940 --> 00:03:01,570 invoices to the government for 67 00:03:06,100 --> 00:03:03,950 impounding his car and saying that they 68 00:03:07,449 --> 00:03:06,110 actually owe him money which is an 69 00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:07,459 interesting way of looking at it and he 70 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:09,049 said he's gone back to the 80s when 71 00:03:12,940 --> 00:03:10,970 Australia was incorporated as a 72 00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:12,950 corporation and stop becoming a 73 00:03:17,259 --> 00:03:14,480 sovereign nation that sort of thing and 74 00:03:18,850 --> 00:03:17,269 it's a bit hard to follow but I'll be to 75 00:03:20,860 --> 00:03:18,860 see what she does with that because it 76 00:03:22,630 --> 00:03:20,870 is a bit hard to unravel the levels of 77 00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:22,640 it and there have been people that have 78 00:03:27,340 --> 00:03:25,760 claimed to be successful in this but 79 00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:27,350 then there are people that say that 80 00:03:32,050 --> 00:03:29,930 they're making that up so I'd like to 81 00:03:34,180 --> 00:03:32,060 know where the truth is me too we'll 82 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:34,190 find out with Shelly in folks if you 83 00:03:39,140 --> 00:03:36,690 want to read what Shelly has to say I'll 84 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:39,150 link to her item in the show notes 85 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:40,530 because she's been published at the 86 00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:42,570 Telegraph I think good for her and of 87 00:03:45,410 --> 00:03:43,680 course we have a really interesting 88 00:03:47,210 --> 00:03:45,420 segment coming up with you may not a bit 89 00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:47,220 later on where we're going

actually seen each other since the 182 00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:35,340 Australian skeptics convention in 183 00:07:41,310 --> 00:07:39,310 Brisbane last year no unfortunately I I 184 00:07:42,960 -->

candy what do you want to actually 204 00:08:37,610 --> 00:08:33,789 that's just a tease because it's still 205 00:08:39,959 --> 00:08:37,620 all our fault if Dwayne Gish and win and 206 00:08:41,339 --> 00:08:39,969 Henry Morris and the other folks from 207 00:08:44,190 --> 00:08:41,349 the Institute for Creation Research 208 00:08:47,190 --> 00:08:44,200 hadn't invaded Australia in the 1960s 209 00:08:49,740 --> 00:08:47,200 and 70s probably Ken Ham would not be 210 00:08:52,829 --> 00:08:49,750 the person he is today but the person he 211 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:52,839 is today the australian ken ham is a 212 00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:56,170 very successful entrepreneur who has 213 00:09:01,199 --> 00:08:58,330 established an institution called 214 00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:01,209 answers in genesis in northern kentucky 215 00:09:07,949 --> 00:09:04,510 where previously he built a creation 216 00:09:09,990 --> 00:09:07,959 museum and those of us on our side of 217 00:09:13,140 --> 00:09:10,000 this issue will generally describe that 218 00:09:13,900 --> 00:09:13,150 as you're the quotation marks around 219 00:09:17,170 --> 00:09:13,910 museum 220 00:09:20,940 --> 00:09:17,180 right right and now as you pointed out 221 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:20,950 today is the opening day of his latest 222 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:25,250 destination vacation destination the Ark 223 00:09:33,250 --> 00:09:30,650 Encounter known more informally as the 224 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:33,260 ark park because it rhymes better mom 225 00:09:42,430 --> 00:09:36,770 yeah the Ark Encounter is is the newest 226 00:09:45,340 --> 00:09:42,440 of the vacation sites that can a man 227 00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:45,350 answers in genesis have and they've just 228 00:09:51,550 --> 00:09:47,510 opened the first component of it which 229 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:51,560 is a life-size replica of noah's ark and 230 00:10:00,130 --> 00:09:54,730 they plan to have quite a few other 231 00:10:02,430 --> 00:10:00,140 attractions in the 800 acre site that 232 00:10:04,690 --> 00:10:02,440 they have up their northern kentucky to 233 00:10:06,790 --> 00:10:04,700 make Northern Kentucky a real 234 00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:06,800 creationist destination you could come 235 00:10:10,930 --> 00:10:08,570 and spend your first day at the creation 236 00:10:13,660 --> 00:10:10,940 museum and then your second day at the 237 00:10:15,340 --> 00:10:13,670 Ark Encounter and have yourself a 238 00:10:17,530 --> 00:10:15,350 wonderful time well just as we're 239 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:17,540 chatting now I'm looking at the the 240 00:10:21,970 --> 00:10:19,610 website dances in Genesis dog and 241 00:10:23,890 --> 00:10:21,980 there's a big picture there I presumably 242 00:10:25,420 --> 00:10:23,900 taken in the last few hours of the 243 00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:25,430 opening and there are hundreds and 244 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:27,110 hundreds of people there lined up and 245 00:10:35,230 --> 00:10:31,130 gathered around this colossal absolutely 246 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:35,240 colossal replica of what they think well 247 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:38,450 some people think Noah's Ark the magical 248 00:10:43,780 --> 00:10:41,330 boat was like there's another picture 249 00:10:47,230 --> 00:10:43,790 now notice where they have three space 250 00:10:49,030 --> 00:10:47,240 shuttles in a road as comparison and the 251 00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:49,040 Ark is bigger than if you put three 252 00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:51,160 space shuttles head to toe in a row and 253 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:54,320 this thing it's just hard to get your 254 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:56,090 head around the scale of it I mean it is 255 00:11:01,060 --> 00:10:57,770 a huge effort no matter how you look at 256 00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:01,070 it oh yeah this is this is a mammoth 257 00:11:06,490 --> 00:11:02,690 undertaking there's no question about 258 00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:06,500 that Ken Ham hired several hundred Amish 259 00:11:11,250 --> 00:11:08,720 carpenters who are very good at working 260 00:11:14,260 --> 00:11:11,260 with wood of course and he had other 261 00:11:17,830 --> 00:11:14,270 carpenters working as well of course and 262 00:11:20,980 --> 00:11:17,840 they worked for months obviously on this 263 00:11:23,650 --> 00:11:20,990 very very large structure it's not made 264 00:11:24,740 --> 00:11:23,660 of gopher wood nobody knows what go for 265 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:24,750 what is but 266 00:11:30,740 --> 00:11:28,530 made out of wood nonetheless the good 267 00:11:32,660 --> 00:11:30,750 news is that it's very far from any 268 00:11:33,890 --> 00:11:32,670 large body of water so they don't have 269 00:11:36,350 --> 00:11:33,900 to worry about whether or not it's 270 00:11:38,030 --> 00:11:36,360 seaworthy not because the prospects of 271 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:38,040 it being see where they are very low but 272 00:11:42,050 --> 00:11:40,050 it's never going to have to float so I 273 00:11:43,820 --> 00:11:42,060 think they'll be fine i would say 274 00:11:46,340 --> 00:11:43,830 looking at it the prospects of it being 275 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:46,350 seaworthy a zero but that's interesting 276 00:11:50,150 --> 00:11:47,970 i didn't know about the Amish people I 277 00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:50,160 think though it would be fair to say 278 00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:51,690 that many of the people if not all the 279 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:54,570 people who worked on it had a fire in 280 00:11:58,150 --> 00:11:56,010 their hearts and thought they were 281 00:12:02,660 --> 00:11:58,160 really doing something incredible to 282 00:12:05,930 --> 00:12:02,670 promote their their religion or God or 283 00:12:09,950 --> 00:12:05,940 something like this yes I mean did to 284 00:12:13,430 --> 00:12:09,960 you know give Ken Ham credit he is very 285 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:13,440 upfront about the mission of answers in 286 00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:16,890 genesis I mean he unlike the Institute 287 00:12:22,820 --> 00:12:20,480 for Creation Research which it tries to 288 00:12:25,970 --> 00:12:22,830 present itself is an essentially 289 00:12:30,940 --> 00:12:25,980 scientific organization Answers in 290 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:30,950 Genesis has from day one and a you know 291 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:35,610 Christian oriented ministry full stop it 292 00:12:41,390 --> 00:12:38,490 uses science to bring people to to Jesus 293 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:41,400 and their their view but it's not 294 00:12:46,250 --> 00:12:43,530 primarily about the science at all it's 295 00:12:49,190 --> 00:12:46,260 really about the Christian mission and 296 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:49,200 saving souls I mean I mean in the United 297 00:12:52,310 --> 00:12:50,610 States we feel very strongly about 298 00:12:55,130 --> 00:12:52,320 freedom of religion and freedom of 299 00:12:57,530 --> 00:12:55,140 speech and you know that's fine if Ken 300 00:12:59,870 --> 00:12:57,540 Ham wants to spend 100 million dollars 301 00:13:02,780 --> 00:12:59,880 building a replica of the ark to save 302 00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:02,790 souls well you know Blaze's art go for 303 00:13:07,010 --> 00:13:05,040 it that's your that's your freedom of 304 00:13:09,350 --> 00:13:07,020 religion in the United States there's 305 00:13:15,370 --> 00:13:09,360 been quite a controversy over the last 306 00:13:22,010 --> 00:13:18,860 attractions and businesses in the United 307 00:13:25,730 --> 00:13:22,020 States will do Answers in Genesis 308 00:13:28,250 --> 00:13:25,740 applied for a tax rebate from the state 309 00:13:30,910 --> 00:13:28,260 of Kentucky uh-huh many times as a way 310 00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:30,920 of encouraging businesses and 311 00:13:36,290 --> 00:13:33,690 encouraging the hiring of citizens and 312 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:36,300 so forth states will offer tax rebates 313 00:13:43,850 --> 00:13:38,490 to institutions that 314 00:13:45,829 --> 00:13:43,860 us to hire people and build things in in 315 00:13:49,730 --> 00:13:45,839 the state this is not an uncommon 316 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:49,740 activity when Answers in Genesis applied 317 00:13:55,699 --> 00:13:51,810 however this did raise some eyebrows 318 00:13:59,570 --> 00:13:55,709 because what would be happening is when 319 00:14:03,070 --> 00:13:59,580 the ark opens which is now the for a 320 00:14:05,690 --> 00:14:03,080 period of time the ark would not have to 321 00:14:08,210 --> 00:14:05,700 return sales taxes to the state of 322 00:14:10,070 --> 00:14:08,220 Kentucky which if it's as big as 323 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:10,080 successes can have things that's going 324 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:11,610 to be is going to be a substantial 325 00:14:16,639 --> 00:14:14,490 amount of money now like I say this is 326 00:14:19,670 --> 00:14:16,649 commonly done for businesses this is not 327 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:19,680 an unusual activity what's unusual is 328 00:14:26,630 --> 00:14:24,050 that this break was being given to a 329 00:14:31,579 --> 00:14:26,640 straight-up religious organization which 330 00:14:34,610 --> 00:14:31,589 is runs afoul of another consideration 331 00:14:37,130 --> 00:14:34,620 in the United States Constitution which 332 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:37,140 is that there is this hands-off 333 00:14:44,530 --> 00:14:39,810 relationship between religion and the 334 00:14:47,090 --> 00:14:44,540 state the First Amendment calls for 335 00:14:49,220 --> 00:14:47,100 neutrality between governmental 336 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:49,230 institutions and religious institutions 337 00:14:57,019 --> 00:14:53,010 and many people believed that for the 338 00:14:59,329 --> 00:14:57,029 state to give a tax rebate to the two 339 00:15:02,840 --> 00:14:59,339 answers in genesis for the ark park was 340 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:02,850 a was it was support of a sectarian 341 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:05,490 religious view and there was a lot of 342 00:15:09,889 --> 00:15:07,890 objection to this unfortunately a 343 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:09,899 federal district court judge last year 344 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:13,850 ruled that this was in fact legal and 345 00:15:20,569 --> 00:15:18,690 the state of Kentucky did not appeal the 346 00:15:22,790 --> 00:15:20,579 case although I think they could very 347 00:15:24,050 --> 00:15:22,800 well have one on appeal but not that I'm 348 00:15:25,990 --> 00:15:24,060 a lawyer but these kinds of things 349 00:15:28,699 --> 00:15:26,000 generally don't fare terribly well 350 00:15:31,069 --> 00:15:28,709 however this there was a new 351 00:15:33,380 --> 00:15:31,079 administration that came in to the state 352 00:15:34,940 --> 00:15:33,390 of the governor's office in Kentucky and 353 00:15:39,290 --> 00:15:34,950 they did not want to pursue an appeal 354 00:15:41,449 --> 00:15:39,300 when they lost the case so there is not 355 00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:41,459 going to be an appeal so that one that's 356 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:43,529 been the major controversy in terms of 357 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:45,450 the united states that a lot of people 358 00:15:49,810 --> 00:15:47,490 don't really think that the state should 359 00:15:51,980 --> 00:15:49,820 be subsidizing religion in this fashion 360 00:15:54,860 --> 00:15:51,990 well that's an interesting 361 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:54,870 and you gotta wonder of the mindset of 362 00:16:00,620 --> 00:15:56,970 some of the people involved in the law 363 00:16:01,910 --> 00:16:00,630 making decisions how swayed one way or 364 00:16:04,730 --> 00:16:01,920 the other there are economic 365 00:16:06,980 --> 00:16:04,740 considerations to but maybe if you think 366 00:16:09,380 --> 00:16:06,990 you're doing something right for God in 367 00:16:12,019 --> 00:16:09,390 the end anyway that sort of overrules a 368 00:16:14,269 --> 00:16:12,029 lot of other considerations but just get 369 00:16:16,070 --> 00:16:14,279 getting back to the structure itself 370 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:16,080 which again just looking at photographs 371 00:16:23,150 --> 00:16:19,410 of it's just mind-boggling on the 372 00:16:26,740 --> 00:16:23,160 website they say that the the ark itself 373 00:16:30,650 --> 00:16:26,750 is whether the replica that is it's a 374 00:16:33,740 --> 00:16:30,660 510 feet in length and it's the largest 375 00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:33,750 free standing timber framed structure in 376 00:16:39,470 --> 00:16:37,649 the world now that's that's just mine 377 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:39,480 snapping but I suppose what's even more 378 00:16:44,210 --> 00:16:41,810 mind step because once inside and 379 00:16:46,190 --> 00:16:44,220 actually I'd be very curious to see it 380 00:16:48,650 --> 00:16:46,200 for myself apparently you can see 381 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:48,660 sections of it which are what you might 382 00:16:54,769 --> 00:16:50,250 have expected to see on the real are 383 00:16:58,190 --> 00:16:54,779 concluding the pins with dinosaurs yes 384 00:17:03,769 --> 00:16:58,200 indeed according to the creation science 385 00:17:07,100 --> 00:17:03,779 proponents God commanded Noah to take 386 00:17:09,410 --> 00:17:07,110 male and female of everything that has 387 00:17:12,890 --> 00:17:09,420 within it the breath of life so that's 388 00:17:14,419 --> 00:17:12,900 basically all land animals they didn't 389 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:14,429 have to take finishin although of course 390 00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:17,010 if the ark if they flood was as violent 391 00:17:21,590 --> 00:17:18,809 as everybody says it was any sort of 392 00:17:22,970 --> 00:17:21,600 land any sort of ocean creatures would 393 00:17:26,059 --> 00:17:22,980 have been wiped out but let's not go 394 00:17:27,949 --> 00:17:26,069 ahead in the directive according to the 395 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:27,959 creation science proponents was to take 396 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:30,330 all male and female of all land 397 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:33,210 creatures and in one part of the art of 398 00:17:38,810 --> 00:17:36,330 the Bible it says that God is that Noah 399 00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:38,820 is supposed to take seven pairs of every 400 00:17:45,890 --> 00:17:41,370 clean kind of animal and five pairs of 401 00:17:48,710 --> 00:17:45,900 every unclean kind of animal and people 402 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:48,720 have pointed out that well obviously 403 00:17:53,540 --> 00:17:52,050 dinosaurs and mammoths and other extinct 404 00:17:55,010 --> 00:17:53,550 animals had to have been on the ark 405 00:17:57,950 --> 00:17:55,020 because they were all created at the 406 00:17:59,840 --> 00:17:57,960 same time as Adam and Eve were created 407

00:22:39,749 that I go up to get a tour of the Ark 510 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:43,229 park that sounds like a very good idea 511 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:45,210 but please keep me young keep me 512 00:22:50,149 --> 00:22:47,369 secretly informed when that might happen 513 00:22:51,409 --> 00:22:50,159 no all they are similar I think it 514 00:22:53,930 --> 00:22:51,419 wouldn't be the highlight of my 515 00:22:56,330 --> 00:22:53,940 skeptical career to to an Ozark with 516 00:22:59,419 --> 00:22:56,340 Eugenie Scott I couldn't imagine but 517 00:23:02,479 --> 00:22:59,429 maybe well maybe we'll have to figure 518 00:23:04,339 --> 00:23:02,489 out some sort of a technological fix so 519 00:23:07,310 --> 00:23:04,349 that even if you can't be there with me 520 00:23:09,499 --> 00:23:07,320 I can bring a camera of some sort and 521 00:23:11,509 --> 00:23:09,509 patch you and the other food we'll have 522 00:23:13,789 --> 00:23:11,519 to get some of our some of our 523 00:23:16,219 --> 00:23:13,799 technology whizzes together to one 524 00:23:18,859 --> 00:23:16,229 figure that out this smells like you can 525 00:23:20,869 --> 00:23:18,869 ask questions and I can guide you 526 00:23:22,669 --> 00:23:20,879 through it sounds like that sounds like 527 00:23:24,649 --> 00:23:22,679 the deal that sounds great well Jeannie 528 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:24,659

00:23:43,430 --> 00:23:40,259 it's hard to argue with the full-scale 535 00:23:45,259 --> 00:23:43,440 replica I mean when we went out now that 536 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:45,269 we can see it who would doubt in teeth 537 00:23:49,609 --> 00:23:48,210 but doesn't look terribly seaworthy to 538 00:23:52,249 --> 00:23:49,619 tell you the truth but what do I know 539 00:24:12,970 --> 00:23:52,259

naked around the countryside summing 602 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:19,040 your nose at convention making your own 603 00:27:23,530 --> 00:27:21,410 laws and having a great time uninhibited 604 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:23,540 by the constraints of organized society 605 00:27:28,780 --> 00:27:26,810 it sounds like a fantasy but if you're a 606 00:27:30,850 --> 00:27:28,790 freeman on the land it's real the 607 00:27:34,300 --> 00:27:30,860 freeman on the land movement otherwise 608 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:34,310 known as f OTL or simply fertile has 609 00:27:39,220 --> 00:27:36,890 been around for a decade or so and stems 610 00:27:41,380 --> 00:27:39,230 from similar pseudo legal movements that 611 00:27:43,990 --> 00:27:41,390 aim to avoid paying tax or obeying the 612 00:27:45,580 --> 00:27:44,000 laws of a particular jurisdiction it's 613 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:45,590 not the first movement of disaffected 614 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:47,930 angry people to try and avoid the powers 615 00:27:53,350 --> 00:27:50,330 of the state but it is my favorite and 616 00:27:55,780 --> 00:27:53,360 it is arguably the most ridiculous but 617 00:27:58,030 --> 00:27:55,790 that's my opinion let's take a look at 618 00:28:00,070 --> 00:27:58,040 what the fertile movement is what 619 00:28:01,030 --> 00:28:00,080 Freeman believe and how their beliefs 620 00:28:02,500 --> 00:28:01,040 have been applied in the 621 00:28:05,140 --> 00:28:02,510 english-speaking countries where the 622 00:28:07,930 --> 00:28:05,150 movement seeks to thrive my first 623 00:28:11,170 --> 00:28:07,940 fertile fact the government is a 624 00:28:12,940 --> 00:28:11,180 corporation Freeman believe that because 625 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:12,950 governments undertake financial 626 00:28:17,770 --> 00:28:14,810 transactions and have credit ratings 627 00:28:20,530 --> 00:28:17,780 they are there for corporations my 628 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:20,540 second fertile fact laws aren't laws 629 00:28:26,050 --> 00:28:23,450 without a contract so because the 630 00:28:27,490 --> 00:28:26,060 government is a corporation Freeman 631 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:27,500 believe that it doesn't have the power 632 00:28:31,540 --> 00:28:29,810 or right to govern people or make laws 633 00:28:34,180 --> 00:28:31,550 unless it has a contract with each 634 00:28:37,210 --> 00:28:34,190 person in other words you have to agree 635 00:28:40,210 --> 00:28:37,220 to a law a tax or a fine in a contract 636 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:40,220 before that law tax or fine applies to 637 00:28:44,170 --> 00:28:42,890 you so you're fine because you never 638 00:28:48,250 --> 00:28:44,180 made a contract with the government 639 00:28:50,630 --> 00:28:48,260 right wrong that brings us to my third 640 00:28:53,510 --> 00:28:50,640 fertile fact your births 641 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:53,520 fickett is a contract when a person's 642 00:28:57,350 --> 00:28:55,650 birth is registered that person is 643 00:29:00,550 --> 00:28:57,360 automatically bound to the government 644 00:29:02,810 --> 00:29:00,560 contractually or so frame and believe a 645 00:29:05,540 --> 00:29:02,820 birth certificate is a document of 646 00:29:08,870 --> 00:29:05,550 ownership signifying the named parties 647 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:08,880 enslavement to the corporation it looks 648 00:29:13,370 --> 00:29:11,010 like a nicely laid out record of your 649 00:29:15,740 --> 00:29:13,380 entry into the world but it is in fact a 650 00:29:17,690 --> 00:29:15,750 contract that says you are now an 651 00:29:21,290 --> 00:29:17,700 employee of the government corporation 652 00:29:24,140 --> 00:29:21,300 and have agreed to abide by its laws but 653 00:29:27,980 --> 00:29:24,150 don't lose hope my fourth fertile fact 654 00:29:29,510 --> 00:29:27,990 you can get out of your contract Freeman 655 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:29,520 proposed a method for breaking the 656 00:29:35,810 --> 00:29:31,290 shackles of your corporate enslavement 657 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:35,820 in short you write a letter to important 658 00:29:41,060 --> 00:29:39,450 people and tell them to get stuffed the 659 00:29:44,210 --> 00:29:41,070 letter is known as a notice of 660 00:29:46,250 --> 00:29:44,220 understanding and claim of right its 661 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:46,260 function is to declare your freedom and 662 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:48,650 explain your own version of the law 663 00:29:53,540 --> 00:29:50,970 there are many examples of these letters 664 00:29:56,330 --> 00:29:53,550 online with variations tailored to the 665 00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:56,340 particular Freeman writing it usually 666 00:30:01,430 --> 00:29:58,050 the letters include a list of 667 00:30:02,990 --> 00:30:01,440 understandings for example it is my 668 00:30:05,210 --> 00:30:03,000 understanding that the Commonwealth of 669 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:05,220 Australia is a common law jurisdiction 670 00:30:10,610 --> 00:30:08,610 whether people have sovereignty or it is 671 00:30:12,590 --> 00:30:10,620 my understanding that all law hangs on 672 00:30:15,580 --> 00:30:12,600 loving God and loving ones neighbor as 673 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:15,590 oneself or it is my understanding 674 00:30:21,170 --> 00:30:18,810 corporations are legal fictions these 675 00:30:23,690 --> 00:30:21,180 so-called understandings can sound 676 00:30:24,830 --> 00:30:23,700 pretty convincing if you ignore the fact 677 00:30:27,380 --> 00:30:24,840 that they're highly subjective 678 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:27,390 assumptions with only a tenuous link to 679 00:30:32,150 --> 00:30:29,570 legal reality once the freemans 680 00:30:33,980 --> 00:30:32,160 understandings are laid out the letter 681 00:30:36,290 --> 00:30:33,990 goes on to claim a series of rights 682 00:30:38,690 --> 00:30:36,300 based on those understandings that the 683 00:30:40,610 --> 00:30:38,700 Freeman is entitled to some of the 684 00:30:42,860 --> 00:30:40,620 examples that are found online include 685 00:30:44,330 --> 00:30:42,870 the right to drive anywhere you want in 686 00:30:46,430 --> 00:30:44,340 an unregistered vehicle without a 687 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:46,440 driver's license the right to charge 688 00:30:50,900 --> 00:30:48,450 hourly fees for being questioned 689 00:30:52,750 --> 00:30:50,910 detained transported or incarcerated by 690 00:30:55,310 --> 00:30:52,760 police or other authorities and the 691 00:30:58,550 --> 00:30:55,320 right to copyright your own name and 692 00:31:00,380 --> 00:30:58,560 charged fees for unauthorized use once 693 00:31:02,660 --> 00:31:00,390 you've sent this letter to the Queen the 694 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:02,670 prime minister in the police published 695 00:31:06,070 --> 00:31:03,810 it somewhere and carry 696 00:31:08,060 --> 00:31:06,080 around with you you're officially free 697 00:31:10,220 --> 00:31:08,070 this brings us back to the little 698 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:10,230 fantasy we had going earlier and to my 699 00:31:15,710 --> 00:31:12,810 fifth fertile fact there are two 700 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:15,720 versions of you congratulations you are 701 00:31:21,230 --> 00:31:18,930 two separate entities the first is your 702 00:31:23,390 --> 00:31:21,240 enslaved legal person who now exists 703 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:23,400 only in writing the writing on your 704 00:31:27,710 --> 00:31:25,170 birth certificate on your electricity 705 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:27,720 bill in your driver's license the second 706 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:30,210 entity is the real you the actual 707 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:32,610 flesh-and-blood person who eats and 708 00:31:38,090 --> 00:31:35,130 sleeps and listens to podcasts the one I 709 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:38,100 like to call the meat person this is the 710 00:31:42,140 --> 00:31:39,930 one at liberty to roam wild and free 711 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:42,150 across the wide expanse of nature and 712 00:31:48,500 --> 00:31:44,970 probably through a few red lights my 713 00:31:51,050 --> 00:31:48,510 sixth fertile fact is your name is not 714 00:31:53,270 --> 00:31:51,060 your name now that you are two people 715 00:31:55,730 --> 00:31:53,280 it's important to differentiate between 716 00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:55,740 your legal person and your meat person 717 00:32:00,470 --> 00:31:57,930 your legal person is usually expressed 718 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:00,480 in the traditional way Richard Saunders 719 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:03,330 for example this is the you that exists 720 00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:05,370 on official documents usually in capital 721 00:32:11,870 --> 00:32:08,310 letters so for the purpose of a podcast 722 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:11,880 wretched side as Freeman distinguish 723 00:32:16,730 --> 00:32:13,410 their meat person from their legal 724 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:16,740 person by expressing their name as first 725 00:32:23,330 --> 00:32:20,730 name of the family last name for example 726 00:32:26,630 --> 00:32:23,340 Richard of the family Saunders as 727 00:32:30,340 --> 00:32:26,640 opposed to Richard's aren't as my final 728 00:32:32,780 --> 00:32:30,350 fertile fact is this some laws are okay 729 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:32,790 Freeman might be misguided fringe 730 00:32:36,650 --> 00:32:34,650 dwellers with legally interesting 731 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:36,660 delusions but they're not completely 732 00:32:42,110 --> 00:32:38,970 devoid of standards most follow what 733 00:32:43,820 --> 00:32:42,120 they call common law which basically 734 00:32:45,710 --> 00:32:43,830 states that you can do anything you want 735 00:32:49,070 --> 00:32:45,720 as long as you don't cause harm or loss 736 00:32:51,950 --> 00:32:49,080 to anyone and you try to be honest so I 737 00:32:54,230 --> 00:32:51,960 guess driving blind folded is okay as 738 00:32:56,330 --> 00:32:54,240 long as you don't hit anything so that's 739 00:32:59,450 --> 00:32:56,340 a very brief summary of what Freeman on 740 00:33:02,180 --> 00:32:59,460 the land movement is all about I guess 741 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:02,190 the only question left to answer is does 742 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:05,490 it work well let's take a quick look at 743 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:07,170 some successful frame in on the land 744 00:33:13,070 --> 00:33:09,450 cases 745 00:33:15,110 --> 00:33:13,080 and we're done there are no successful 746 00:33:17,450 --> 00:33:15,120 Freeman on the land cases the whole 747 00:33:19,310 --> 00:33:17,460 movement is based on outdated pseudo 748 00:33:22,430 --> 00:33:19,320 legal concepts and good old-fashioned 749 00:33:24,740 --> 00:33:22,440 wrongness the best of Freeman can hope 750 00:33:27,639 --> 00:33:24,750 for is a judge throwing out there 751 00:33:30,769 --> 00:33:27,649 fallacy filled case out of frustration 752 00:33:32,750 --> 00:33:30,779 in reality many frame and have turned a 753 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:32,760 minor offense into a jail sentence 754 00:33:38,210 --> 00:33:35,130 simply by refusing to engage in a legal 755 00:33:39,919 --> 00:33:38,220 process in my opinion the best thing the 756 00:33:42,590 --> 00:33:39,929 frame and on the land movement has going 757 00:33:44,029 --> 00:33:42,600 for it is its entertainment value if you 758 00:33:45,710

--> 00:37:20,259 skeptics guide to the universe i like a 836 00:37:25,380 --> 00:37:22,509 theistic alee speaking I like the 837 00:37:27,599 --> 00:37:25,390 Atheist Experience I like the skeptic 838 00:37:29,999 --> 00:37:27,609 rat they're just a few of the podcast I 839 00:37:31,710 --> 00:37:30,009 listen to but I like to listen to all 840 00:37:33,269 --> 00:37:31,720 sorts of things I like to be challenged 841 00:37:34,470 --> 00:37:33,279 in fact I'm often going to Richard you 842 00:37:36,150 --> 00:37:34,480 should listen to this and he goes on 843 00:37:37,739 --> 00:37:36,160 bloody well not and that's about as much 844 00:37:40,979 --> 00:37:37,749 as he swears ladies and gentlemen he 845 00:37:42,599 --> 00:37:40,989 says bloody well not because I I go this 846 00:37:46,739 --> 00:37:42,609 is a great thing on this podcast and you 847 00:37:49,470 --> 00:37:46,749 go no well you're doing a lot of long 848 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:49,480 travel quite frequently in your car or 849 00:37:52,499 --> 00:37:50,890 on the train so you get a chance to 850 00:37:54,720 --> 00:37:52,509 listen to many many podcasts but I'm 851 00:37:58,109 --> 00:37:54,730 always interested to know what does 852 00:38:01,410 --> 00:37:58,119 maenad listen to so I thought we might 853 00:38:03,809 --> 00:38:01,420 in an ongoing semi occasional series for 854 00:38:05,940 --> 00:38:03,819 no apparent reason let's just see what 855 00:38:07,260 --> 00:38:05,950 may not listening too well 856 00:38:09,810 --> 00:38:07,270 here's one I thought well get you off 857 00:38:11,700 --> 00:38:09,820 gently here now this is one that I would 858 00:38:13,530 --> 00:38:11,710 recommend for people who want a bit of a 859 00:38:15,420 --> 00:38:13,540 relax or something like that but I would 860 00:38:17,460 --> 00:38:15,430 say a lot of skeptics would go at PE 861 00:38:19,470 --> 00:38:17,470 which you shouldn't do that off the bat 862 00:38:22,140 --> 00:38:19,480 you should check things out it's the Zen 863 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:22,150 thinking podcast the host of these in 864 00:38:25,859 --> 00:38:24,490 thinking podcast is a guy who has I had 865 00:38:28,140 --> 00:38:25,869 a bit about a foot in rock and roll 866 00:38:30,030 --> 00:38:28,150 there for a while and he got into the 867 00:38:32,099 --> 00:38:30,040 Zen thinking podcast a while ago Brian 868 00:38:34,079 --> 00:38:32,109 Thompson not to be confused with the 869 00:38:35,910 --> 00:38:34,089 with the Brian Thompson used to be with 870 00:38:37,589 --> 00:38:35,920 the skeptic yeah movement and there's a 871 00:38:39,270 --> 00:38:37,599 couple of Brian Thompson's outlet it's a 872 00:38:40,530 --> 00:38:39,280 couple of Richard Saunders am I wonder 873 00:38:41,970 --> 00:38:40,540 if they're a couple of men are don't be 874 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:41,980 worried oh yeah well there's the one 875 00:38:47,069 --> 00:38:44,170 that's in tool and the way you work that 876 00:38:49,740 --> 00:38:47,079 out is that he is in tool I am a tool 877 00:38:52,589 --> 00:38:49,750 that's the way you work that out and he 878 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:52,599 makes wine I drink wine that's the way 879 00:38:55,500 --> 00:38:53,890 you work at the difference between us 880 00:38:57,839 --> 00:38:55,510 all it all makes sense so what's this 881 00:38:59,700 --> 00:38:57,849 podcast about well Brian Thompson look 882 00:39:02,400 --> 00:38:59,710 he explains it quite well here Brian 883 00:39:04,950 --> 00:39:02,410 Thompson he explains it i am a zen vegan 884 00:39:07,170 --> 00:39:04,960 poet living on a mountain by the sea 885 00:39:10,230 --> 00:39:07,180 writing about how common state of being 886 00:39:13,970 --> 00:39:10,240 non duality and infinity how common 887 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:13,980 state of being comma non duality and 888 00:39:18,870 --> 00:39:16,450 infinity now I don't quite understand 889 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:18,880 the concept of non-duality I thought it 890 00:39:23,300 --> 00:39:20,530 was directly involved to something 891 00:39:26,550 --> 00:39:23,310 neurological as our friends on the 892 00:39:29,180 --> 00:39:26,560 skeptics guide yes explained but it's 893 00:39:31,980 --> 00:39:29,190 more of a philosophical thing um yes 894 00:39:34,319 --> 00:39:31,990 non-dual consciousness sir and I don't 895 00:39:35,940 --> 00:39:34,329 really understand that but his poetry is 896 00:39:37,650 --> 00:39:35,950 quite easy to my scent and he reads it 897 00:39:39,420 --> 00:39:37,660 during the show but before we get there 898 00:39:41,910 --> 00:39:39,430 just have a little bit of a listen to 899 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:41,920 Brian and I gotta say it's very relaxing 900 00:39:45,809 --> 00:39:44,170 i know a lot of the skeptics won't be 901 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:45,819 into this but just just let's just get 902 00:39:49,500 --> 00:39:47,650 into the chi of the zen or however they 903 00:39:52,020 -->

another episode of the 909 00:40:27,170 --> 00:40:23,640 Zen thinking podcast this is episode 910 00:40:31,100 --> 00:40:27,180 number 53 and I'm your host Bryan 911 00:40:33,980 --> 00:40:31,110

published on my website Zen thinking 923 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:05,430 dotnet and then I you know I I discussed 924 00:41:08,930 --> 00:41:07,410 them a little further if it if I feel 925 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:08,940 that there needs to be further 926 00:41:18,590 --> 00:41:12,810 explanations so with that being said 927 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:18,600 let's just get right into it so as you 928 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:20,970 can hear brian has a beautiful voice a 929 00:41:27,980 --> 00:41:24,090 very relaxing tone and he reads his 930 00:41:30,110 --> 00:41:27,990 poetry and discusses it sure oh sorry 931 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:30,120 hello what oh I just drifted off there 932 00:41:34,700 --> 00:41:31,530 for another greener look look for 933 00:41:36,650 --> 00:41:34,710 example and

00:41:41,940 its name do not reason with the 937 00:41:48,230 --> 00:41:44,400 unreasonable your judgments of others 938 00:41:52,270 --> 00:41:48,240 are always your own self reflection the 939 00:41:55,750 --> 00:41:52,280 mind in furs whatever the ego prefers 940 00:41:59,480 --> 00:41:55,760 decisions are the mines own invention 941 00:42:02,180 --> 00:41:59,490 decisions are the minds own invention 942 00:42:07,010 --> 00:42:02,190 that which perceives never comes and 943 00:42:11,030 --> 00:42:07,020 goes learning to not indulge the egoic 944 00:42:15,710 --> 00:42:11,040 mind well widget why do you think that 945 00:42:18,050 --> 00:42:15,720 we know what does it mean i well Brian 946 00:42:19,550 --> 00:42:18,060 probably explains that so I can see 947 00:42:22,460 --> 00:42:19,560 where the the podcast would come in 948 00:42:24,020 --> 00:42:22,470 handy because frankly my tiny eight 949 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:24,030 brain can't get around that I apologize 950 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:26,970 Brian's beyonders well I I do like I 951 00:42:30,470 --> 00:42:29,010 mean it is lovely and looked and there 952 00:42:33,620 --> 00:42:30,480 are some there's some very good 953 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:33,630 good ideas in that in each line taste an 954 00:42:36,890 --> 00:42:35,010 orange for getting its name it's 955 00:42:40,700 --> 00:42:36,900 actually quite deep I mean that that is 956 00:42:42,770 --> 00:42:40,710 six words and a comma so taste an orange 957 00:42:44,930 --> 00:42:42,780 like you don't need to know that that's 958 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:44,940 called an orange to enjoy the experience 959 00:42:48,859 --> 00:42:46,650 of having an orange do you rich you 960 00:42:50,750 --> 00:42:48,869 don't know how it is the name of it is 961 00:42:52,550 --> 00:42:50,760 irrelevant it could be called a purple 962 00:42:54,470 --> 00:42:52,560 it's irrelevant to me because I don't 963 00:42:55,730 --> 00:42:54,480 enjoy eating oranges oh that's right if 964 00:42:58,010 --> 00:42:55,740 you've got you've got an allergy to 965 00:43:01,370 --> 00:42:58,020 citrus fruit well not quite but I don't 966 00:43:04,070 --> 00:43:01,380 enjoy them no he discovers the Zen of 967 00:43:05,660 --> 00:43:04,080 irritable bowel syndrome don't you okay 968 00:43:07,099 --> 00:43:05,670 not a good example but yes see that 969 00:43:08,750 --> 00:43:07,109 that's an example and see even then on 970 00:43:11,300 --> 00:43:08,760 its own okay you might not agree with 971 00:43:12,830 --> 00:43:11,310 the Zen way of thinking or that's a 972 00:43:15,290 --> 00:43:12,840 discussion or you might not agree with 973 00:43:16,940 --> 00:43:15,300 non duality or whatever but I think we 974 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:16,950 can all get the concept that an orange 975 00:43:20,690 --> 00:43:18,810 doesn't have to be called an orange to 976 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:20,700 taste that way so be Zen thinking 977 00:43:25,940 --> 00:43:22,890 podcast is this soothing tones with 978 00:43:28,010 --> 00:43:25,950 interesting poetry and and the next line 979 00:43:30,650 --> 00:43:28,020 do not reason with the unreasonable look 980 00:43:32,150 --> 00:43:30,660 I've been a DJ for 30 years the amount 981 00:43:34,070 --> 00:43:32,160 of people that have come up to the DJ 982 00:43:36,770 --> 00:43:34,080 box and asked for music that I'm never 983

Brian Thompson 1013 00:44:42,050 --> 00:44:39,869 with the Zen thinking podcast and he 1014 00:44:43,020 --> 00:44:42,060 explains all that stuff in in a way that 1015 00:44:44,070 --> 00:44:43,030 you may or may not agree 1016 00:44:48,060 --> 00:44:44,080 then but it's certainly worth a 1017 00:44:50,820 --> 00:44:48,070 listening and I want a Tibetan singing 1018 00:44:52,770 --> 00:44:50,830 bowl that that brought well see i 1019 00:44:55,890 --> 00:44:52,780 haven't actually got a Tibetan singing 1020 00:44:58,890 --> 00:44:55,900 bowl but i do have a tap bill that i 1021 00:45:00,420 --> 00:44:58,900 stole from a front desk of a hotel in 1022 00:45:02,460 --> 00:45:00,430 Las Vegas where I had a great night so 1023 00:45:04,530 --> 00:45:02,470 it's kind of spiritual in a different 1024 00:45:06,620 --> 00:45:04,540 way listen to this okay let's see now 1025 00:45:13,759 --> 00:45:06,630 I'll read some of the stuff I've written 1026 00:45:18,150 --> 00:45:16,230 that's profound yeah that was profound 1027 00:45:19,589 --> 00:45:18,160 yeah and you know it's easy to remember 1028 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:19,599 not to buy cigarettes because I've never 1029 00:45:23,099 --> 00:45:21,970 smoked Betty so that's kind of good and 1030 00:45:24,029 --> 00:45:23,109 you feel good so it doesn't matter if 1031 00:45:26,430 --> 00:45:24,039 you buy something it's a little bit 1032 00:45:28,499 --> 00:45:26,440 naughty at the supermarket you know you 1033 00:45:31,380 --> 00:45:28,509 haven't bought cigarettes so you're 1034 00:45:32,910 --> 00:45:31,390 going to feel better about that but 1035 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:32,920 he'll look aldi's got everything now 1036 00:45:38,819 --> 00:45:35,890 it's very here and that's the Zen 1037 00:45:40,650 --> 00:45:38,829 thinking podcast and website as well 1038 00:45:42,539 --> 00:45:40,660 have a look there caps on brian's poetry 1039 00:45:44,910 --> 00:45:42,549 one other podcasts that I regularly 1040 00:45:46,559 --> 00:45:44,920 listen to which is not going to put you 1041 00:45:48,150 --> 00:45:46,569 in a Zen mood usually it's going to put 1042 00:45:50,549 --> 00:45:48,160 you in a bit of a worried mood 1043 00:45:52,140 --> 00:45:50,559 occasionally a perhaps a conspiratorial 1044 00:45:54,989 --> 00:45:52,150 Moodle though I do not like to use that 1045 00:45:57,720 --> 00:45:54,999 word i like to use anomaly and there's a 1046 00:46:01,049 --> 00:45:57,730 lot of anomalies in the higher side 1047 00:46:04,559 --> 00:46:01,059 chats or as Greg car would the host 1048 00:46:06,870 --> 00:46:04,569 likes to call it THC which just happens 1049 00:46:08,609 --> 00:46:06,880 to be the anyway we look we've you know 1050 00:46:10,380 --> 00:46:08,619 what it is you know if you don't you 1051 00:46:13,259 --> 00:46:10,390 don't the high side chats it's a great 1052 00:46:15,329 --> 00:46:13,269 show I never miss an episode of it he 1053 00:46:16,739 --> 00:46:15,339 has a premium version so that people are 1054 00:46:18,870 --> 00:46:16,749 pagan get a longer version the show and 1055 00:46:22,049 --> 00:46:18,880 a lot of people available so that has a 1056 00:46:23,609 --> 00:46:22,059 very interesting like Brian Thompson I 1057 00:46:25,229 --> 00:46:23,619 mentioned earlier who has these and 1058 00:46:27,839 --> 00:46:25,239 thinking podcast he has a patreon 1059 00:46:30,809 --> 00:46:27,849 account like we do here fully it for the 1060 00:46:32,579 --> 00:46:30,819 skeptic zone and but Greg Harwood's 1061 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:32,589 taken a different path with this and I 1062 00:46:37,229 --> 00:46:34,210 think it's a very interesting one all 1063 00:46:39,420 --> 00:46:37,239 the donations he gets every month half 1064 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:39,430 of those donations he gives away at 1065 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:41,650 random to a listener who's of subscriber 1066 00:46:45,509 --> 00:46:43,690 so you could be a subscribing to him and 1067 00:46:47,309 --> 00:46:45,519 suddenly you'll get half the money of 1068 00:46:49,079 --> 00:46:47,319 all the donations he received that month 1069 00:46:50,849 --> 00:46:49,089 because of the Money bomb I think I 1070 00:46:52,380 --> 00:46:50,859 first I was worried that it wasn't a 1071 00:46:53,700 --> 00:46:52,390 sustainable model and you think well if 1072 00:46:56,039 --> 00:46:53,710 he didn't do that he'd get double his 1073 00:46:57,479 --> 00:46:56,049 money but it's a way of directly giving 1074 00:46:59,400 --> 00:46:57,489 something back to his listeners that 1075 00:47:01,319 --> 00:46:59,410 subscribe and also a lot of them often 1076 00:47:03,479 --> 00:47:01,329 end up buying some of his t-shirts or 1077 00:47:04,829 --> 00:47:03,489 his merchandise anyway it sounds like an 1078 00:47:05,849 --> 00:47:04,839 interesting business model I don't think 1079 00:47:07,859 --> 00:47:05,859 it's one the skeptic general be 1080 00:47:09,329 --> 00:47:07,869 following at the moment but however yeah 1081 00:47:11,789 --> 00:47:09,339 yeah I look it's the only one that does 1082 00:47:15,779 --> 00:47:11,799 and I think I think it's a unique idea 1083 00:47:18,599 --> 00:47:15,789 and he has the best introductions for 1084 00:47:20,700 --> 00:47:18,609 most there's two podcasts I know that 1085 00:47:23,430 --> 00:47:20,710 have the most thorough introductions 1086 00:47:25,410 --> 00:47:23,440 Greg Carr Ward on the high side chats is 1087 00:47:26,820 --> 00:47:25,420 one of them the other one is gilbert 1088 00:47:29,190 --> 00:47:26,830 godfree's incredibly 1089 00:47:31,020 --> 00:47:29,200 loss or podcast in fact if you just 1090 00:47:33,060 --> 00:47:31,030 listen to Gilbert Gottfried's incredible 1091 00:47:34,590 --> 00:47:33,070 colossal podcast introduction of the 1092 00:47:36,240 --> 00:47:34,600 person he's about to interview you 1093 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:36,250 really probably don't need to listen to 1094 00:47:39,660 --> 00:47:38,050 the interview because it usually goes 1095 00:47:42,300 --> 00:47:39,670 for about a minute and lists everything 1096 00:47:45,830 --> 00:47:42,310 they've done similarly Greg Carr wood 1097 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:45,840 has well written structured funny 1098 00:47:50,310 --> 00:47:48,370 informative introductions that I always 1099 00:47:52,650 --> 00:47:50,320 really enjoy now love the skeptics 1100 00:47:55,260 --> 00:47:52,660 listen will probably not be on board 1101 00:47:58,320 --> 00:47:55,270 with um look probably none of the topics 1102 00:47:59,700 --> 00:47:58,330 that he covers and maybe sometimes the 1103 00:48:02,010 --> 00:47:59,710 evidence for some of the things that are 1104 00:48:05,220 --> 00:48:02,020 discussed could be described as scanned 1105 00:48:07,380 --> 00:48:05,230 but I love listening this [\h__\h] scanned 1106 00:48:08,790 --> 00:48:07,390 what's wrong with scared no no it's a 1107 00:48:10,710 --> 00:48:08,800 good word I think you write some of the 1108 00:48:12,570 --> 00:48:10,720 things he discusses we're just looking 1109 00:48:16,380 --> 00:48:12,580 at the website now and one of one of the 1110 00:48:19,710 --> 00:48:16,390 items is nestled eyes well yeah look and 1111 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:19,720 also he writes in his About section for 1112 00:48:23,790 --> 00:48:21,570 the high side chats he talks about 1113 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:23,800 podcasting in general and some of the 1114 00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:25,450 ones that tend to deal with anomalies 1115 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:27,610 and the paranormal and he says there's a 1116 00:48:31,050 --> 00:48:29,290 lot of problems with love the paranormal 1117 00:48:33,230 --> 00:48:31,060 and conspiratorial podcast because they 1118 00:48:36,030 --> 00:48:33,240 suffer from poor audio quality 1119 00:48:38,220 --> 00:48:36,040 unnecessary fear-mongering / yelling 1120 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:38,230 I'll go along with that Allen Jones in 1121 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:39,490 particular I think he's talking about 1122 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:42,130 their lengthy off-the-cuff introductions 1123 00:48:45,660 --> 00:48:43,450 that stall the interview which is 1124 00:48:47,610 --> 00:48:45,670 correct his maybe sometimes lengthy but 1125 00:48:50,100 --> 00:48:47,620 they're certainly to the point and very 1126 00:48:51,630 --> 00:48:50,110 educational and the same five corporate 1127 00:48:52,770 --> 00:48:51,640 ads in every episode that's right i mean 1128 00:48:54,690 --> 00:48:52,780 a lot of us are a little bit sick of 1129 00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:54,700 bear hearing from audible all the time 1130 00:48:59,220 --> 00:48:56,290 in fact I'm surprised you even got on 1131 00:49:01,170 --> 00:48:59,230 board with that hi it has crossed my 1132 00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:01,180 mind but at the moment we're not taking 1133 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:02,770 paid advertising that might change in 1134 00:49:07,410 --> 00:49:05,170 the future but right now no and also the 1135 00:49:08,790 --> 00:49:07,420 episodes are very very well edited and 1136 00:49:10,650 --> 00:49:08,800 the sound quality is fantastic so you 1137 00:49:12,570 --> 00:49:10,660 know look I give 10 points like I said 1138 00:49:15,900 --> 00:49:12,580 other skeptics won't go into it but even 1139 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:15,910 Greg Carr would does topics from time to 1140 00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:18,010 time that his listeners that are very 1141 00:49:21,900 --> 00:49:20,410 much into anomalies of all sorts don't 1142 00:49:23,910 --> 00:49:21,910 want to have any truck with and here's 1143 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:23,920 one from an episode where we interviewed 1144 00:49:27,780 --> 00:49:25,690 Marty leads and it was all about well 1145 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:27,790 look I'll it I'll let Greg introduce 1146 00:49:34,410 --> 00:49:31,450 this and I got to say I sure this is out 1147 00:49:39,430 --> 00:49:34,420 there but this is why I listened to the 1148 00:49:46,750 --> 00:49:43,340 you really do that's true doctor says uh 1149 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,630 g 1150 00:49:49,640 --> 00:50:02,940 to us 1151 00:50:07,380 --> 00:50:05,310 alright folks we know deception runs 1152 00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:07,390 deep and we try to hold all our accepted 1153 00:50:10,620 --> 00:50:08,650 truths up to the light and make sure 1154 00:50:13,170 --> 00:50:10,630 they check out but the most far-out idea 1155 00:50:15,210 --> 00:50:13,180 the most polarizing possibility that 1156 00:50:17,010 --> 00:50:15,220 we've ever really tackled here has got 1157 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:17,020 to be the flat earth episode with Eric 1158 00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:19,210 Dube since that show I've had many 1159 00:50:22,380 --> 00:50:20,650 people write me to say that they've 1160 00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:22,390 stopped listening after wasting their 1161 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:24,490 time with such a ridiculous concept I've 1162 00:50:27,810 --> 00:50:26,410 had plus members canceled because that 1163 00:50:29,730 --> 00:50:27,820 episode changed their life for the 1164 00:50:31,620 --> 00:50:29,740 better and it's become their sole topic 1165 00:50:33,030 --> 00:50:31,630 of interest and I've lost potential 1166 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:33,040 guests because they couldn't be 1167 00:50:36,510 --> 00:50:34,210 associated with a show that even 1168 00:50:38,550 --> 00:50:36,520 discussed such a thing so I figured why 1169 00:50:40,290 --> 00:50:38,560 not make more trouble for myself and do 1170 00:50:42,720 --> 00:50:40,300 it again because Marty leads another 1171 00:50:44,490 --> 00:50:42,730 previous THC guest one of the few that 1172 00:50:46,950 --> 00:50:44,500 I'd call a friend now and a researcher I 1173 00:50:49,170 --> 00:50:46,960 really respect said off to disprove that 1174 00:50:51,420 --> 00:50:49,180 ludicrous Flat Earth fallacy and found 1175 00:50:53,069 --> 00:50:51,430 that he really couldn't it since become 1176 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:53,079 a bigger part of his paradigm his 1177 00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:54,970 spiritual journey and the amazing stuff 1178 00:50:59,370 --> 00:50:56,650 you can find on his website at Marty 1179 00:51:00,990 --> 00:50:59,380 leads 33.com along with the four books 1180 00:51:03,240 --> 00:51:01,000 he's written in his kick-ass music 1181 00:51:05,790 -->

00:51:43,240 completely other opinion in science and 1201 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:45,310 reason but it's done in such an 1202 00:51:48,390 --> 00:51:46,930 interesting way because we tease out 1203 00:51:50,370 --> 00:51:48,400 what they're really thinking have you 1204 00:51:52,170 --> 00:51:50,380 actually have you even had any people on 1205 00:51:55,890 --> 00:51:52,180 that even bring up the Hollow Earth 1206 00:51:58,140 --> 00:51:55,900 theory only you oh that's me I and I 1207 00:52:00,180 --> 00:51:58,150 also bring up the hologram theory as 1208 00:52:02,329 --> 00:52:00,190 well which no one's on board with and I 1209 00:52:04,500 --> 00:52:02,339 know we have people that understand 1210 00:52:07,230 --> 00:52:04,510 theoretical physics where that where 1211 00:52:09,150 --> 00:52:07,240 some of the calculations might hint at 1212 00:52:10,410 --> 00:52:09,160 what we actually live in is a 1213 00:52:13,109 --> 00:52:10,420 three-dimensional projection from a 1214 00:52:14,730 --> 00:52:13,119 two-dimensional object but I'm yet to 1215 00:52:15,630 --> 00:52:14,740 meet those people because everyone just 1216 00:52:19,020 --> 00:52:15,640 goes 1217 00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:19,030 walk away do they yeah they do that is 1218 00:52:21,570 --> 00:52:20,290 what happens with over the skeptic 1219 00:52:24,270 --> 00:52:21,580 meeting and I'll try and get someone to 1220 00:52:26,010 --> 00:52:24,280 talk about this it's and i also got 1221 00:52:28,590 --> 00:52:26,020 someone to try and explain Planck time 1222 00:52:30,720 --> 00:52:28,600 to me and either people go no i haven't 1223 00:52:32,340 --> 00:52:30,730 got time to do i haven't got to the time 1224 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:32,350 i haven't got put i haven't got Planck 1225 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:34,930 time for you and you and all they have 1226 00:52:38,610 --> 00:52:37,450 and i don't understand it in fact I 1227 00:52:40,230 --> 00:52:38,620 probably got a better chance of 1228 00:52:42,570 --> 00:52:40,240 understanding Brian Thompson's 1229 00:52:44,460 --> 00:52:42,580 non-duality that I have of what Planck 1230 00:52:46,050 --> 00:52:44,470 time is so this is how you spend your 1231 00:52:47,790 --> 00:52:46,060 time Maynard when you're not doing 1232 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:47,800 Maynard things you're listening to these 1233 00:52:55,110 --> 00:52:50,650 sort of
