00:01:20,400 science 43 00:01:24,550 --> 00:01:22,880 and religion fumbled a big one before we 44 00:01:26,469 --> 00:01:24,560 dive into that just tell listeners a bit 45 00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:26,479 about yourself you are of course 46 00:01:30,630 --> 00:01:28,560 host of skeptical podcast which many 47 00:01:32,069 --> 00:01:30,640 listeners will already be familiar with 48 00:01:34,469 --> 00:01:32,079 and just a little bit perhaps about how 49 00:01:39,030 --> 00:01:34,479 the book came about 50 00:01:40,789 --> 00:01:39,040 really as just a product of me doing 51 00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:40,799 these interviews on skeptico 52 00:01:44,550 --> 00:01:43,439 and the skeptical thing is always i've 53 00:01:46,789 --> 00:01:44,560 been doing it for a long time 54 00:01:48,389 --> 00:01:46,799 long long time and it was really just a 55 00:01:50,870 --> 00:01:48,399 passion project for me like i always 56 00:01:54,069 --> 00:01:50,880 tell people it was kind of my 57 00:01:57,429 --> 00:01:54,079 trojan horse for getting a chance 58 00:01:59,830 --> 00:01:57,439 to talk to really smart people like you 59 00:02:01,030 --> 00:01:59,840 and like other people and i and i sense 60 00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:01,040 that same 61 00:02:06,149 --> 00:02:04,000 you know vibe in your work too is that 62 00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:06,159 you want to have the conversations 63 00:02:10,150 --> 00:02:08,640 and you can frame them up however you 64 00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:10,160 want you know you want to call it a 65 00:02:13,350 --> 00:02:11,599 podcast you want to call it 66 00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:13,360 a book a magazine article whatever you 67 00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:15,840 know you want to have the conversation 68 00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:19,200 and same with me so 69 00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:22,000 that's how it came about and then in 70 00:02:24,949 --> 00:02:23,680 particular this book is really just an 71 00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:24,959 extension 72 00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:31,990 why science is wrong about almost 73 00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:34,080 everything um 74 00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:37,360 and it's re that's really a book about 75 00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:40,800 consciousness and how if you 76 00:02:46,869 --> 00:02:44,400 fall for the scientific materialism 77 00:02:47,670 --> 00:02:46,879 you are meaningless you are nothing kind 78 00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:47,680 of 79 00:02:52,110 --> 00:02:50,879 meme then that is not only you know 80 00:02:55,190 --> 00:02:52,120 crippling 81 00:02:58,630 --> 00:02:55,200 philosophically and personally 82 00:03:01,110 --> 00:02:58,640 but it doesn't make for good science so 83 00:03:01,670 --> 00:03:01,120 this latest book kind of says if you 84 00:03:04,229 --> 00:03:01,680 take that 85 00:03:06,070 --> 00:03:04,239 into the what i call extended 86 00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:06,080 consciousness realm 87 00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:07,920 of you know near-death experience 88 00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:09,360 out-of-body travel 89 00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:11,920 dmt however you want to go aliens 90 00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:13,760 wherever you want to go with that 91 00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:17,360 if you take that into the extended realm 92 00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:19,840 then you're even more lost if you want 93 00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:22,400 to stick to this 94 00:03:26,229 --> 00:03:24,560 you know hold on to this really really 95 00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:26,239 literal materialist 96 00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:30,720 stupid stupid falsified idea 97 00:03:34,070 --> 00:03:33,760 and then the evil thing is just that i 98 00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:34,080 think 99 00:03:37,589 --> 00:03:37,200 evil might be our lens you know our kind 100 00:03:41,190 --> 00:03:37,599 of 101 00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:41,200 our entry point into waking us 102 00:03:46,630 --> 00:03:44,879 up out of how ridiculous that is and the 103 00:03:50,149 --> 00:03:46,640 consequences of 104 00:03:54,390 --> 00:03:50,159 the materialistic you are meaningless 105 00:03:57,509 --> 00:03:54,400 idea well as you alluded to 106 00:03:59,830 --> 00:03:57,519 a lot of your inquiry and a lot of the 107 00:04:00,949 --> 00:03:59,840 material you produce podcast in 108 00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:00,959 particular 109 00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:02,239 you're looking at you and your guests 110 00:04:07,110 --> 00:04:04,080 are looking at 111 00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:07,120 the reality through the the these 112 00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:09,360 overlapping lenses shall we say 113 00:04:13,830 --> 00:04:11,920 science religion philosophy that many 114 00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:13,840 people for a long time and still today 115 00:04:17,990 --> 00:04:15,120 regard as completely 116 00:04:18,469 --> 00:04:18,000 separate and mutually exclusive in many 117 00:04:20,629 --> 00:04:18,479 ways 118 00:04:22,150 --> 00:04:20,639 and of course that's a feeling in itself 119 00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:22,160 because they're kind of like three 120 00:04:28,230 --> 00:04:24,400 prongs of the same fork really 121 00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:28,240 uh in my mind um but you've come up 122 00:04:31,350 --> 00:04:28,960 against 123 00:04:32,469 --> 00:04:31,360 this the question of evil multiple times 124 00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:32,479 as i have 125 00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:34,800 um call it what you will you know evil's 126 00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:36,080 a name for something 127 00:04:38,790 --> 00:04:37,120 you know because we tend to think in 128 00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:38,800 terms of language we have to name things 129 00:04:42,629 --> 00:04:39,360 and 130 00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:42,639 preconceptions about what they think it 131 00:04:45,189 --> 00:04:43,360 is or what they 132 00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:45,199 think it is not whether it exists or not 133 00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:47,520 based just on everything that 134 00:04:51,909 --> 00:04:50,400 they've gathered um in their mind in 135 00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:51,919 their consciousness about evil 136 00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:54,720 up to this point but you said that evil 137 00:04:58,390 --> 00:04:56,400 could be a lens 138 00:04:59,909 --> 00:04:58,400 uh there a moment ago and i think i 139 00:05:00,950 --> 00:04:59,919 understand what you mean it's something 140 00:05:04,390 --> 00:05:00,960 that 141 00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:04,400 when you look into it is 142 00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:08,240 it's almost the other areas of inquiry 143 00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:10,400 in the three disciplines i mentioned 144 00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:12,240 they all have their 145 00:05:19,510 --> 00:05:16,560 their their limits it seems and 146 00:05:19,990 --> 00:05:19,520 but the question of evil seems to be one 147 00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:20,000 of those 148 00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:23,199 issues that's pushing us further 149 00:05:27,029 --> 00:05:25,680 to look at some of the some of the 150 00:05:27,270 --> 00:05:27,039 matters some of these overlaps to look 151 00:05:29,189 --> 00:05:27,280 as 152 00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:29,199 the whole idea of extended cautions 153 00:05:33,749 --> 00:05:30,800 consciousness for example 154 00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:33,759 uh that you speak so much about that 155 00:05:38,230 --> 00:05:35,440 actually could be 156 00:05:39,510 --> 00:05:38,240 um it could be the key to unlock this 157 00:05:43,029 --> 00:05:39,520 particular 158 00:05:44,150 --> 00:05:43,039 um mystery in itself and it's almost 159 00:05:45,749 --> 00:05:44,160 like 160 00:05:47,189 --> 00:05:45,759 these issues come along to prompt us 161 00:05:49,189 --> 00:05:47,199 it's almost like we're being prodded and 162 00:05:52,070 --> 00:05:49,199 pushed i've thought this many times 163 00:05:53,189 --> 00:05:52,080 to to understand more to keep going with 164 00:05:54,790 --> 00:05:53,199 our inquiry 165 00:05:56,950 --> 00:05:54,800 and when we're not looking in the right 166 00:05:58,710 --> 00:05:56,960 place that we get almost like a 167 00:06:00,390 --> 00:05:58,720 a school child getting a wrap over the 168 00:06:02,550 --> 00:06:00,400 knuckles you know with a ruler 169 00:06:04,469 --> 00:06:02,560 by a stern teacher you know like or 170 00:06:06,070 --> 00:06:04,479 maybe a torch is being shown in another 171 00:06:07,029 --> 00:06:06,080 corner and we're being enjoying to look 172 00:06:08,390 --> 00:06:07,039 over here 173 00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:08,400 so that's what i thought of when you 174 00:06:14,070 --> 00:06:11,520 said evil could be a lens 175 00:06:16,150 --> 00:06:14,080 yeah and i'd take that even further 176 00:06:18,469 --> 00:06:16,160 because i really like 177 00:06:20,070 --> 00:06:18,479 your point and your analogy about 178 00:06:21,189 --> 00:06:20,080 overlapping lenses 179 00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:21,199 and you know there's a really 180 00:06:24,390 --> 00:06:22,560 interesting point that you made there 181 00:06:27,430 --> 00:06:24,400 about we have the 182 00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:27,440 the trident of uh science religion and 183 00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:29,199 philosophy you know 184 00:06:34,309 --> 00:06:32,240 and you pointed out how hey how curious 185 00:06:37,029 --> 00:06:34,319 that is that they 186 00:06:38,309 --> 00:06:37,039 they want to stay separate and boy i 187 00:06:41,590 --> 00:06:38,319 mean that has been one of 188 00:06:45,189 --> 00:06:41,600 i guess my fundamental realizations 189 00:06:48,629 --> 00:06:45,199 findings in all this stuff is that 190 00:06:49,830 --> 00:06:48,639 that's preposterous and it's hard to 191 00:06:52,790 --> 00:06:49,840 believe that that 192 00:06:54,070 --> 00:06:52,800 isn't somewhat by design i mean there 193 00:06:55,909 --> 00:06:54,080 are only two questions 194 00:06:57,110 --> 00:06:55,919 who are we why are we here those are the 195 00:06:58,550 --> 00:06:57,120 only questions 196 00:07:00,469 --> 00:06:58,560 think about it in all three of those 197 00:07:01,350 --> 00:07:00,479 realms science who are we why are we 198 00:07:05,029 --> 00:07:01,360 here 199 00:07:07,430 --> 00:07:05,039 religion who are we 200 00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:07,440 why are we here why would you want to 201 00:07:09,749 --> 00:07:08,800 separate those why would you want to 202 00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:09,759 pretend this 203 00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:12,400 game you know when you get into religion 204 00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:13,360 that 205 00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:16,000 it's is it fundamentally intertwined 206 00:07:20,550 --> 00:07:16,880 with those 207 00:07:22,230 --> 00:07:20,560 science you know pulled themselves out 208 00:07:23,909 --> 00:07:22,240 and said hey we're going to rescue you 209 00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:23,919 from that crazy religion and all the 210 00:07:27,189 --> 00:07:25,440 rest that 211 00:07:28,469 --> 00:07:27,199 but the interesting thing about 212 00:07:29,270 --> 00:07:28,479 consciousness and the reason that you 213 00:07:31,189 --> 00:07:29,280 and i are both 214 00:07:32,790 --> 00:07:31,199 so interested in doing do a lot of shows 215 00:07:35,990 --> 00:07:32,800 on it and like your interview 216 00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:36,000 recently with bernardo castro his 217 00:07:40,710 --> 00:07:37,520 consciousness 218 00:07:43,350 --> 00:07:40,720 as you said is the wrap on the knuckles 219 00:07:45,350 --> 00:07:43,360 that pulls us back in and says wait a 220 00:07:47,189 --> 00:07:45,360 minute now 221 00:07:49,350 --> 00:07:47,199 everything you're kind of making here 222 00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:49,360 has some assumptions on it 223 00:07:54,869 --> 00:07:52,800 and ever since you left that old 224 00:07:56,230 --> 00:07:54,879 double slit experiment which i always 225 00:07:58,790 --> 00:07:56,240 like to tell people because like this is 226 00:08:01,029 --> 00:07:58,800 like such a great little entry point 227 00:08:02,869 --> 00:08:01,039 into some of this stuff double slit 228 00:08:04,469 --> 00:08:02,879 experiment double slit experiment we all 229 00:08:06,950 --> 00:08:04,479 know it 230 00:08:08,629 --> 00:08:06,960 you can stop calling it a double slit 231 00:08:11,270 --> 00:08:08,639 experiment 232 00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:11,280 the framing up of that as some type of a 233 00:08:16,869 --> 00:08:13,440 photon measurement experiment 234 00:08:19,670 --> 00:08:16,879 it's not it's a consciousness 235 00:08:21,589 --> 00:08:19,680 experiment that's what it is it's an 236 00:08:24,869 --> 00:08:21,599 experiment that says 237 00:08:25,270 --> 00:08:24,879 does consciousness exist is there such a 238 00:08:27,589 --> 00:08:25,280 thing 239 00:08:28,950 --> 00:08:27,599 as an observer effect that we have to 240 00:08:31,749 --> 00:08:28,960 worry about 241 00:08:33,029 --> 00:08:31,759 and the answer is yes that is the wrap 242 00:08:37,269 --> 00:08:33,039 on the knuckles 243 00:08:40,310 --> 00:08:37,279 of science but what science had to do 244 00:08:42,389 --> 00:08:40,320 really to pretend they're to defend 245 00:08:43,509 --> 00:08:42,399 their turf and also maybe for some other 246 00:08:44,870 --> 00:08:43,519 reasons 247 00:08:46,870 --> 00:08:44,880 was they had to do the shut up and 248 00:08:48,310 --> 00:08:46,880 calculate thing 249 00:08:50,230 --> 00:08:48,320 they'll say well no no that's not real 250 00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:50,240 what it's about look come on let's just 251 00:08:53,990 --> 00:08:52,160 kind of work out these equations over 252 00:08:57,670 --> 00:08:54,000 here and see if we can build some 253 00:08:59,670 --> 00:08:57,680 iphones and stuff like that so 254 00:09:01,110 --> 00:08:59,680 that's that's kind of that that's that's 255 00:09:02,949 --> 00:09:01,120 where i'd go with your overlapping 256 00:09:05,430 --> 00:09:02,959 lenses which i think is 257 00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:05,440 a much bigger point than uh you know we 258 00:09:10,310 --> 00:09:07,680 could spend an hour talking about that 259 00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:10,320 well it's like the placebo effect uh we 260 00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:11,680 i'm reminded of that when you mentioned 261 00:09:14,630 --> 00:09:13,040 the double slit experiment it's like 262 00:09:16,150 --> 00:09:14,640 it's been given a name 263 00:09:18,389 --> 00:09:16,160 and therefore in science quite often 264 00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:18,399 does this even when 265 00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:20,880 it doesn't understand something it names 266 00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:22,080 it like dark 267 00:09:26,230 --> 00:09:24,880 matter dark energy okay we didn't know 268 00:09:28,230 --> 00:09:26,240 what all that stuff was 269 00:09:29,590 --> 00:09:28,240 it's dark matter well that doesn't mean 270 00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:29,600 that you know what it is you just call 271 00:09:32,630 --> 00:09:30,640 it something 272 00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:32,640 so the placebo effect is this is an 273 00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:34,480 amazing thing with incredible 274 00:09:39,750 --> 00:09:37,120 implications basically mind over body 275 00:09:41,110 --> 00:09:39,760 implications like the double slit 276 00:09:42,470 --> 00:09:41,120 experiment which by the way if listeners 277 00:09:43,269 --> 00:09:42,480 are not sure what that is it's a famous 278 00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:43,279 experiment 279 00:09:46,470 --> 00:09:44,560 in quantum physics which has been 280 00:09:48,790 --> 00:09:46,480 repeated again and again and again 281 00:09:50,870 --> 00:09:48,800 and tweaked and varied and the 282 00:09:53,350 --> 00:09:50,880 implications are vast 283 00:09:54,790 --> 00:09:53,360 but it's with quantum physics in general 284 00:09:57,110 --> 00:09:54,800 it's always been 285 00:09:58,150 --> 00:09:57,120 not always it has increasingly been 286 00:10:00,150 --> 00:09:58,160 changing but 287 00:10:01,430 --> 00:10:00,160 often it's not you know mainstream 288 00:10:03,509 --> 00:10:01,440 interpretations have been that 289 00:10:05,509 --> 00:10:03,519 well there are no implications and if 290 00:10:07,430 --> 00:10:05,519 there are it's purely in the realms of 291 00:10:09,030 --> 00:10:07,440 shut up and calculate as you say 292 00:10:11,110 --> 00:10:09,040 and for me the shut up and calculate 293 00:10:14,949 --> 00:10:11,120 thing is like 294 00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:14,959 would be i don't know like just chopping 295 00:10:18,230 --> 00:10:17,440 vegetables in a kitchen and never making 296 00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:18,240 any stew 297 00:10:21,190 --> 00:10:19,920 it's like just keep chopping vegetables 298 00:10:22,790 --> 00:10:21,200 but when are we gonna when we're gonna 299 00:10:24,870 --> 00:10:22,800 have something to show for this you know 300 00:10:27,590 --> 00:10:24,880 what are we doing this for 301 00:10:29,509 --> 00:10:27,600 and uh and of course they one of the 302 00:10:31,829 --> 00:10:29,519 reasons that a lot of people 303 00:10:33,829 --> 00:10:31,839 um well if they're satisfied with that 304 00:10:35,350 --> 00:10:33,839 is because of the byproducts of a lot of 305 00:10:36,389 --> 00:10:35,360 scientific inquiry you mentioned the 306 00:10:38,069 --> 00:10:36,399 iphones 307 00:10:39,350 --> 00:10:38,079 and just think since the scientific 308 00:10:40,710 --> 00:10:39,360 revolution and then the industrial 309 00:10:41,190 --> 00:10:40,720 revolution which was able to put a lot 310 00:10:43,030 --> 00:10:41,200 of that 311 00:10:44,389 --> 00:10:43,040 into practice on a wider scale just 312 00:10:47,190 --> 00:10:44,399 think of all the benefits you know 313 00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:47,200 material benefits for people's lives 314 00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:50,880 and you know health and welfare material 315 00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:53,680 benefits uh just our general standard of 316 00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:55,040 living has changed so much because of 317 00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:56,240 the benefits of science and 318 00:10:59,910 --> 00:10:57,760 industrialization 319 00:11:01,430 --> 00:10:59,920 but you mentioned the trident that was 320 00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:01,440 your your three is which i like because 321 00:11:06,230 --> 00:11:04,720 with like any trident you go back down 322 00:11:09,509 --> 00:11:06,240 the prongs and you get to the 323 00:11:11,269 --> 00:11:09,519 the handle which is one it's the three 324 00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:11,279 you know it's all one piece of metal if 325 00:11:13,590 --> 00:11:12,240 you know what i mean or whatever it's 326 00:11:17,590 --> 00:11:13,600 made of 327 00:11:21,190 --> 00:11:17,600 and um i think that the 328 00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:21,200 um the the the thing that you said about 329 00:11:24,630 --> 00:11:24,160 science rescuing us you know from this 330 00:11:27,990 --> 00:11:24,640 sort of 331 00:11:29,350 --> 00:11:28,000 religious you know paul of ignorance 332 00:11:30,790 --> 00:11:29,360 that is it's all been like about the 333 00:11:31,829 --> 00:11:30,800 pendulum swing i've made this analogy 334 00:11:34,870 --> 00:11:31,839 before 335 00:11:36,710 --> 00:11:34,880 is that it was a relief to be able to to 336 00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:36,720 have the scientific revolution the 337 00:11:39,430 --> 00:11:37,760 renaissance 338 00:11:41,509 --> 00:11:39,440 just to free up people's thinking and 339 00:11:44,710 --> 00:11:41,519 their consciousness and their lives 340 00:11:47,990 --> 00:11:44,720 from the sort of the drudgery of living 341 00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:48,000 under you know religious oppression 342 00:11:51,910 --> 00:11:50,720 but then we have a tendency i think as 343 00:11:55,110 --> 00:11:51,920 as a species 344 00:11:57,829 --> 00:11:55,120 to ritualistic behavior and 345 00:11:58,310 --> 00:11:57,839 and routine and and ways of seeing the 346 00:12:01,430 --> 00:11:58,320 world 347 00:12:02,230 --> 00:12:01,440 and going too far you know with one 348 00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:02,240 thing 349 00:12:05,269 --> 00:12:04,000 um the whole idea of the renaissance man 350 00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:05,279 was supposed to be you know scientists 351 00:12:08,790 --> 00:12:06,720 philosopher 352 00:12:10,949 --> 00:12:08,800 uh you know spiritual dimension as well 353 00:12:12,870 --> 00:12:10,959 but i think that kind of got lost so now 354 00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:12,880 we've been living in a scientific agent 355 00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:15,440 it's been all about that and anything to 356 00:12:19,670 --> 00:12:17,600 do with spirituality at best is seen as 357 00:12:21,829 --> 00:12:19,680 a very private matter 358 00:12:24,550 --> 00:12:21,839 um religions are just seen as like 359 00:12:28,069 --> 00:12:24,560 either just irrelevant or actually 360 00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:28,079 a source of ongoing problems and so when 361 00:12:34,230 --> 00:12:30,160 you perhaps try to 362 00:12:36,310 --> 00:12:34,240 to bring together some of these um 363 00:12:38,949 --> 00:12:36,320 disciplines then people are very 364 00:12:41,269 --> 00:12:38,959 resistant because you try and bring 365 00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:41,279 a spiritual dimension or some other word 366 00:12:44,710 --> 00:12:42,720 let's just say extended consciousness 367 00:12:46,550 --> 00:12:44,720 dimension into science 368 00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:46,560 people are worried about god getting in 369 00:12:48,550 --> 00:12:48,160 again by the back door oh hang on a 370 00:12:49,910 --> 00:12:48,560 minute 371 00:12:52,069 --> 00:12:49,920 this sounds a bit too religious for my 372 00:12:53,670 --> 00:12:52,079 liking i don't like it you know you know 373 00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:53,680 the universe popping out of nowhere from 374 00:12:57,030 --> 00:12:54,800 nothing and uh 375 00:12:59,030 --> 00:12:57,040 no i don't like the sound of this at all 376 00:13:01,190 --> 00:12:59,040 sounds like i used to hear in the 377 00:13:03,430 --> 00:13:01,200 in church when i was a kid with 378 00:13:06,150 --> 00:13:03,440 philosophy which is regarded as like 379 00:13:07,350 --> 00:13:06,160 um a pleasant sort of irrelevance you 380 00:13:09,269 --> 00:13:07,360 know if somebody says oh i'm a 381 00:13:11,110 --> 00:13:09,279 philosophy professor it's like oh that's 382 00:13:13,430 --> 00:13:11,120 nice you know uh why don't you try 383 00:13:14,790 --> 00:13:13,440 earning a living you know what i mean 384 00:13:16,790 --> 00:13:14,800 i've met people with that with that sort 385 00:13:20,710 --> 00:13:16,800 of attitude 386 00:13:21,190 --> 00:13:20,720 um well there was like there's like 10 387 00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:21,200 points 388 00:13:25,990 --> 00:13:23,680 i'd like to jump on but i gotta go back 389 00:13:28,069 --> 00:13:26,000 to all the way at the beginning because 390 00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:28,079 greg your point about placebo effect is 391 00:13:32,949 --> 00:13:31,040 so i i think profound 392 00:13:34,629 --> 00:13:32,959 i know for so many people and so many 393 00:13:36,550 --> 00:13:34,639 people that listen to my show 394 00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:36,560 and i'm sure yours too they get it on 395 00:13:39,990 --> 00:13:37,680 one level 396 00:13:41,269 --> 00:13:40,000 but i really think what you're saying is 397 00:13:45,269 --> 00:13:41,279 much much more 398 00:13:48,230 --> 00:13:45,279 powerful in practice than we realize 399 00:13:49,430 --> 00:13:48,240 the placebo effect just take notice for 400 00:13:51,509 --> 00:13:49,440 how it's used 401 00:13:53,030 --> 00:13:51,519 i'm just repeating exactly what you said 402 00:13:55,110 --> 00:13:53,040 it's like oh 403 00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:55,120 well the results didn't achieve anything 404 00:13:58,629 --> 00:13:56,880 greater than placebo effect 405 00:14:00,310 --> 00:13:58,639 or you know what we're finding in 406 00:14:02,470 --> 00:14:00,320 science now is there's a 407 00:14:05,269 --> 00:14:02,480 degradation towards the level of the 408 00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:05,279 placebo effect right 409 00:14:09,590 --> 00:14:07,360 so we're signing we're finding these 410 00:14:12,710 --> 00:14:09,600 major medical studies that 411 00:14:14,550 --> 00:14:12,720 show some miracle drug to be efficacious 412 00:14:16,949 --> 00:14:14,560 but the more we test it and the more we 413 00:14:20,389 --> 00:14:16,959 repeat the test it becomes 414 00:14:21,670 --> 00:14:20,399 closer and closer to a level of the 415 00:14:24,150 --> 00:14:21,680 placebo effect 416 00:14:25,350 --> 00:14:24,160 but your the brilliant point you make is 417 00:14:28,310 --> 00:14:25,360 that the whole 418 00:14:29,990 --> 00:14:28,320 game is the placebo effect what's 419 00:14:34,230 --> 00:14:30,000 staring us in the face 420 00:14:36,870 --> 00:14:34,240 is that we've totally uh misunderstood 421 00:14:38,790 --> 00:14:36,880 the relationship between mind and body 422 00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:38,800 which is really a relationship between 423 00:14:42,470 --> 00:14:41,760 consciousness and body right mind is 424 00:14:44,629 --> 00:14:42,480 consciousness 425 00:14:45,670 --> 00:14:44,639 because what they will tell you what is 426 00:14:48,629 --> 00:14:45,680 embedded in that 427 00:14:50,550 --> 00:14:48,639 even when they say mind is body with the 428 00:14:53,829 --> 00:14:50,560 fastball that they're trying to slip 429 00:14:56,030 --> 00:14:53,839 past you is that yeah it's your mind 430 00:14:57,590 --> 00:14:56,040 but that's still within the 431 00:15:02,389 --> 00:14:57,600 materialistic 432 00:15:06,230 --> 00:15:02,399 scientific framework of your brain 433 00:15:08,710 --> 00:15:06,240 but their own if you unravel 434 00:15:09,829 --> 00:15:08,720 logically philosophically let's just go 435 00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:09,839 with logically 436 00:15:15,509 --> 00:15:12,880 the placebo effect what they're doing 437 00:15:17,189 --> 00:15:15,519 is they're contra they're contradicting 438 00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:17,199 the mind equals brain 439 00:15:21,189 --> 00:15:19,440 you are 100 a product of your brain 440 00:15:21,990 --> 00:15:21,199 you're a biological robot meaningless 441 00:15:26,470 --> 00:15:22,000 universe 442 00:15:29,749 --> 00:15:26,480 it is an implied contradiction of that 443 00:15:31,350 --> 00:15:29,759 by using the term placebo effect but you 444 00:15:34,870 --> 00:15:31,360 are so right that 445 00:15:38,069 --> 00:15:34,880 once you label it it allows you to 446 00:15:39,749 --> 00:15:38,079 dismiss it step over it say don't you 447 00:15:41,670 --> 00:15:39,759 really just want this new iphone 448 00:15:42,949 --> 00:15:41,680 let's forget about who you are and why 449 00:15:44,470 --> 00:15:42,959 you're here for a minute 450 00:15:46,310 --> 00:15:44,480 don't you really just want another 451 00:15:48,230 --> 00:15:46,320 netflix streaming i'll 452 00:15:50,550 --> 00:15:48,240 up your bandwidth we'll get you more 453 00:15:54,069 --> 00:15:50,560 bandwidth you can go faster 454 00:15:55,430 --> 00:15:54,079 so no i i know if you have any more 455 00:15:57,509 --> 00:15:55,440 on that because i think it's such a 456 00:16:00,150 --> 00:15:57,519 powerful such a powerful point 457 00:16:01,430 --> 00:16:00,160 and it it does lead to this larger you 458 00:16:03,430 --> 00:16:01,440 know i don't want to dance around this 459 00:16:06,470 --> 00:16:03,440 because what i'm saying is that there 460 00:16:07,030 --> 00:16:06,480 is an underlying conspiracy and a lot of 461 00:16:08,550 --> 00:16:07,040 people 462 00:16:10,389 --> 00:16:08,560 don't like that term and they 463 00:16:12,230 --> 00:16:10,399 immediately get turned off you know i'm 464 00:16:15,269 --> 00:16:12,240 like oh my god here we go you know 465 00:16:17,670 --> 00:16:15,279 but it's like that is the 466 00:16:18,310 --> 00:16:17,680 that is the implication of this is that 467 00:16:21,670 --> 00:16:18,320 this isn't 468 00:16:25,629 --> 00:16:21,680 completely organic this languaging 469 00:16:26,790 --> 00:16:25,639 this messaging this misstepping 470 00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:26,800 misinformation 471 00:16:31,430 --> 00:16:30,000 oops always scientifically bungled it 472 00:16:34,949 --> 00:16:31,440 again 473 00:16:36,150 --> 00:16:34,959 that after a while it doesn't look like 474 00:16:39,910 --> 00:16:36,160 an accident 475 00:16:43,590 --> 00:16:39,920 and i think part of our you know our job 476 00:16:45,829 --> 00:16:43,600 you and i what we're doing is to 477 00:16:47,430 --> 00:16:45,839 probe that and try and pull that apart 478 00:16:48,310 --> 00:16:47,440 because sometimes it is an accident and 479 00:16:50,790 --> 00:16:48,320 sometimes 480 00:16:53,189 --> 00:16:50,800 you know scientists make mistakes 481 00:16:56,870 --> 00:16:53,199 sometimes philosophers make mistakes 482 00:16:59,910 --> 00:16:56,880 but sometimes there's another 483 00:17:02,069 --> 00:16:59,920 agenda that behind some of this stuff 484 00:17:03,749 --> 00:17:02,079 and we have to make sure that that we're 485 00:17:05,189 --> 00:17:03,759 exploring those possibilities 486 00:17:07,110 --> 00:17:05,199 because we've been taken down those 487 00:17:08,789 --> 00:17:07,120 paths so many times 488 00:17:11,189 --> 00:17:08,799 yes we definitely should explore some of 489 00:17:12,789 --> 00:17:11,199 those possibilities maybe you can 490 00:17:14,309 --> 00:17:12,799 start us off with that in a moment and 491 00:17:16,230 --> 00:17:14,319 that will take us 492 00:17:17,350 --> 00:17:16,240 um if you want to certainly into some of 493 00:17:19,510 --> 00:17:17,360 the material 494 00:17:21,429 --> 00:17:19,520 in your book that we mentioned but i did 495 00:17:23,189 --> 00:17:21,439 spend quite a long time 496 00:17:24,549 --> 00:17:23,199 i started reading about quantum 497 00:17:26,549 --> 00:17:24,559 implications 498 00:17:28,470 --> 00:17:26,559 back in the 1980s and i spent quite a 499 00:17:29,190 --> 00:17:28,480 few decades wondering what the major 500 00:17:32,630 --> 00:17:29,200 resistance 501 00:17:34,390 --> 00:17:32,640 was to if not acceptance of some of 502 00:17:35,830 --> 00:17:34,400 these implications but at least explore 503 00:17:37,669 --> 00:17:35,840 them at least look at it again i mean 504 00:17:40,230 --> 00:17:37,679 this right across the board 505 00:17:41,909 --> 00:17:40,240 from scientists engaged in this work 506 00:17:42,950 --> 00:17:41,919 through to lay people reading popular 507 00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:42,960 science books and 508 00:17:46,470 --> 00:17:45,200 initially as i mentioned it was maybe 509 00:17:48,470 --> 00:17:46,480 they're worried that it's some 510 00:17:49,830 --> 00:17:48,480 kind of religious connotations in all of 511 00:17:51,270 --> 00:17:49,840 this if we go down this route and 512 00:17:53,750 --> 00:17:51,280 explore these things 513 00:17:55,909 --> 00:17:53,760 then we're going to have um church 514 00:17:57,830 --> 00:17:55,919 people saying aha i told you so 515 00:17:59,750 --> 00:17:57,840 or whatever it happens to be though the 516 00:18:00,950 --> 00:17:59,760 consciousness is the mind of god 517 00:18:02,710 --> 00:18:00,960 but then i started to look for other 518 00:18:04,470 --> 00:18:02,720 reasons and i think oh well obviously 519 00:18:06,470 --> 00:18:04,480 some scientists are worried about loss 520 00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:06,480 of loss of prestige they built their 521 00:18:10,150 --> 00:18:06,960 whole 522 00:18:12,150 --> 00:18:10,160 careers around a certain world view 523 00:18:13,590 --> 00:18:12,160 maybe they made some did some pioneering 524 00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:13,600 research and that made it 525 00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:15,440 won a nobel prize and they just have to 526 00:18:18,070 --> 00:18:16,640 stick to this 527 00:18:20,710 --> 00:18:18,080 and that reminds me of the old adage 528 00:18:21,909 --> 00:18:20,720 about science progressing one funeral at 529 00:18:24,230 --> 00:18:21,919 a time but 530 00:18:25,510 --> 00:18:24,240 increasingly and i think this is what we 531 00:18:27,270 --> 00:18:25,520 definitely have in common 532 00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:27,280 i've started to think it must be more 533 00:18:29,990 --> 00:18:28,480 than that it can't be that 534 00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:30,000 straightforward 535 00:18:34,070 --> 00:18:32,559 um so perhaps you'd like to the point 536 00:18:34,870 --> 00:18:34,080 you made just before i started speaking 537 00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:34,880 maybe you could 538 00:18:41,190 --> 00:18:38,160 get started on some of your ideas there 539 00:18:44,470 --> 00:18:41,200 well one way to explore that topic 540 00:18:47,430 --> 00:18:44,480 is to look at three 541 00:18:49,430 --> 00:18:47,440 interviews that you've done recently and 542 00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:49,440 kind of dive into those a little bit for 543 00:18:53,510 --> 00:18:50,640 a little bit more because there's some 544 00:18:56,390 --> 00:18:53,520 great crossover between 545 00:18:57,110 --> 00:18:56,400 your work and mine and i think we'll 546 00:19:00,230 --> 00:18:57,120 wind up 547 00:19:02,230 --> 00:19:00,240 in the same place like first off i 548 00:19:03,430 --> 00:19:02,240 i i have just a ton of respect for 549 00:19:04,870 --> 00:19:03,440 bernardo castro 550 00:19:07,270 --> 00:19:04,880 i can't tell you how many times he's 551 00:19:07,750 --> 00:19:07,280 been on my show he's a super popular 552 00:19:09,430 --> 00:19:07,760 guest 553 00:19:12,150 --> 00:19:09,440 i consider him a friend i've met him 554 00:19:14,150 --> 00:19:12,160 personally he's a great guy 555 00:19:16,470 --> 00:19:14,160 go to his website right now and read his 556 00:19:19,990 --> 00:19:16,480 open birthday letter 557 00:19:20,310 --> 00:19:20,000 to bill gates congratulating bill gates 558 00:19:24,390 --> 00:19:20,320 on 559 00:19:27,909 --> 00:19:24,400 thing bill you've been a great 560 00:19:29,750 --> 00:19:27,919 a great gift to mankind the one thing i 561 00:19:32,470 --> 00:19:29,760 wish you'd look at 562 00:19:34,630 --> 00:19:32,480 nuclear power a little bit because i 563 00:19:36,710 --> 00:19:34,640 think we can get some good clean nuclear 564 00:19:41,510 --> 00:19:36,720 power and i think it can help 565 00:19:44,789 --> 00:19:41,520 our overall environmental situation 566 00:19:47,510 --> 00:19:44,799 bernardo bernardo 567 00:19:48,950 --> 00:19:47,520 where have you been buddy have you kind 568 00:19:51,990 --> 00:19:48,960 of looked into 569 00:19:55,430 --> 00:19:52,000 gatesy there in the corona thing and 570 00:19:56,549 --> 00:19:55,440 moderna and his all sorts of his other 571 00:19:58,390 --> 00:19:56,559 shady connections 572 00:20:00,630 --> 00:19:58,400 have you looked into his connections 573 00:20:01,190 --> 00:20:00,640 with epstein and the brownstoning 574 00:20:04,950 --> 00:20:01,200 project 575 00:20:07,430 --> 00:20:04,960 in his long time interest in that 576 00:20:08,789 --> 00:20:07,440 that goes that there's a lot of smoking 577 00:20:12,070 --> 00:20:08,799 gun stuff there 578 00:20:13,190 --> 00:20:12,080 so bernardo is super smart super 579 00:20:16,630 --> 00:20:13,200 intelligent 580 00:20:18,390 --> 00:20:16,640 but he's not a conspiratorial guy 581 00:20:20,149 --> 00:20:18,400 which on one hand we want to give 582 00:20:21,669 --> 00:20:20,159 somebody a badge for that and say oh 583 00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:21,679 gosh you get a shiny badge because 584 00:20:25,669 --> 00:20:23,760 you're not conspiratorial 585 00:20:27,350 --> 00:20:25,679 i'll look at it the other way i'll look 586 00:20:30,789 --> 00:20:27,360 at it and say 587 00:20:34,789 --> 00:20:30,799 if you're closing yourself off to that 588 00:20:36,470 --> 00:20:34,799 world view and driving diving deeply 589 00:20:41,270 --> 00:20:36,480 into that worldview 590 00:20:43,830 --> 00:20:41,280 then you're really going to be missing 591 00:20:44,310 --> 00:20:43,840 the picture in a lot of these situations 592 00:20:47,990 --> 00:20:44,320 not in 593 00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:48,000 all of them bernardo's work is still his 594 00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:51,520 phenomenally powerful work but he 595 00:20:56,390 --> 00:20:54,640 is going to be blindsided by people who 596 00:20:59,029 --> 00:20:56,400 are rigging the game 597 00:21:01,110 --> 00:20:59,039 and he doesn't realize it bill gates is 598 00:21:02,630 --> 00:21:01,120 a classic example 599 00:21:04,870 --> 00:21:02,640 but i'll give you two more and then i'll 600 00:21:07,510 --> 00:21:04,880 i'll kind of let you respond 601 00:21:09,669 --> 00:21:07,520 you did a show kind of a one-off 602 00:21:12,950 --> 00:21:09,679 one-person show 603 00:21:14,630 --> 00:21:12,960 on david ike and 604 00:21:16,230 --> 00:21:14,640 i thought there were so many interesting 605 00:21:19,510 --> 00:21:16,240 jumping off points for 606 00:21:19,750 --> 00:21:19,520 our dialogue here on that craig because 607 00:21:50,070 --> 00:21:19,760 i 608 00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:50,080 now let me tell you what he wrote on 609 00:21:53,510 --> 00:21:52,080 the relationship between consciousness 610 00:21:56,310 --> 00:21:53,520 and science 611 00:21:57,270 --> 00:21:56,320 it's brilliant it's the most succinct 612 00:22:00,950 --> 00:21:57,280 clear 613 00:22:04,950 --> 00:22:00,960 and a crisply written 614 00:22:07,430 --> 00:22:04,960 attack on how science as part of a 615 00:22:11,270 --> 00:22:07,440 social engineering control 616 00:22:13,909 --> 00:22:11,280 ex psyop would be against 617 00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:13,919 any kind of extended consciousness 618 00:22:16,950 --> 00:22:14,960 understanding 619 00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:16,960 right so you can go read that in the 620 00:22:21,750 --> 00:22:18,080 interview we did it's 621 00:22:22,630 --> 00:22:21,760 it's brilliant go read david ike this is 622 00:22:25,510 --> 00:22:22,640 like basic 623 00:22:27,590 --> 00:22:25,520 [\h__\h] but how many times have you sat 624 00:22:28,950 --> 00:22:27,600 through mind-numbing discussions where 625 00:22:31,990 --> 00:22:28,960 people don't do it 626 00:22:35,029 -->

838 00:30:11,590 --> 00:30:10,240 scientists they were all combed over and 839 00:30:14,870 --> 00:30:11,600 gone through 840 00:30:16,070 --> 00:30:14,880 uh every stone turned by um all sorts of 841 00:30:18,549 --> 00:30:16,080 different scientific 842 00:30:20,389 --> 00:30:18,559 uh bodies and publishing organizations 843 00:30:23,350 --> 00:30:20,399 all manner of academia 844 00:30:24,710 --> 00:30:23,360 approved for publication and once he had 845 00:30:26,630 --> 00:30:24,720 achieved that and all these were all 846 00:30:29,190 --> 00:30:26,640 separate publications 847 00:30:31,029 --> 00:30:29,200 he then brought them all together and 848 00:30:32,470 --> 00:30:31,039 put them in one book 849 00:30:34,470 --> 00:30:32,480 and basically was able to get a 850 00:30:35,269 --> 00:30:34,480 scientifically rigorously scientifically 851 00:30:38,789 --> 00:30:35,279 peer-reviewed 852 00:30:39,590 --> 00:30:38,799 book in kind of under the radar so to 853 00:30:42,470 --> 00:30:39,600 speak 854 00:30:43,750 --> 00:30:42,480 so it was very clever and then i've 855 00:30:44,950 --> 00:30:43,760 heard somebody say oh that was a bit 856 00:30:45,990 --> 00:30:44,960 underhand you know because they didn't 857 00:30:47,269 --> 00:30:46,000 know it was going to be brought what 858 00:30:48,870 --> 00:30:47,279 difference does it make 859 00:30:51,190 --> 00:30:48,880 each chapter has an idea and i mean you 860 00:30:53,190 --> 00:30:51,200 could take all the get all the different 861 00:30:54,710 --> 00:30:53,200 magazine articles uh photocopy them and 862 00:30:55,830 --> 00:30:54,720 then staple them together and it's the 863 00:30:57,269 --> 00:30:55,840 same thing 864 00:30:59,350 --> 00:30:57,279 you know that's all he's done so i think 865 00:31:01,909 --> 00:30:59,360 that was a brilliant move 866 00:31:02,470 --> 00:31:01,919 when and i'd urge people to check out 867 00:31:05,909 --> 00:31:02,480 your 868 00:31:07,430 --> 00:31:05,919 interviews with him i've done many over 869 00:31:10,070 --> 00:31:07,440 the years 870 00:31:10,789 --> 00:31:10,080 if you're interested in the idea of 871 00:31:12,230 --> 00:31:10,799 extended 872 00:31:14,230 --> 00:31:12,240 consciousness of consciousness 873 00:31:14,950 --> 00:31:14,240 consciousness being the underlying 874 00:31:18,230 --> 00:31:14,960 reality 875 00:31:19,029 --> 00:31:18,240 of the universe it basically it makes 876 00:31:22,310 --> 00:31:19,039 sense 877 00:31:23,750 --> 00:31:22,320 of so much of our experience and our 878 00:31:26,070 --> 00:31:23,760 reality and everything that we see 879 00:31:27,669 --> 00:31:26,080 around us with our senses and all the 880 00:31:29,509 --> 00:31:27,679 tools and measuring devices that we have 881 00:31:32,070 --> 00:31:29,519 that reach beyond our five senses 882 00:31:32,549 --> 00:31:32,080 all of this the data coming in that we 883 00:31:34,070 --> 00:31:32,559 don't 884 00:31:36,710 --> 00:31:34,080 understand and we can't quite put 885 00:31:38,710 --> 00:31:36,720 together his work brings so many things 886 00:31:42,149 --> 00:31:38,720 into a new light 887 00:31:43,190 --> 00:31:42,159 when i read his article about nuclear 888 00:31:45,669 --> 00:31:43,200 power and bill gates 889 00:31:46,950 --> 00:31:45,679 i like you i've not had a chance to 890 00:31:50,870 --> 00:31:46,960 speak to him about it 891 00:31:52,789 --> 00:31:50,880 um i was a little bit mystified at first 892 00:31:54,789 --> 00:31:52,799 because i kind of 893 00:31:56,870 --> 00:31:54,799 got the thing about nuclear power i'm 894 00:31:59,110 --> 00:31:56,880 not an advocate for it 895 00:32:00,789 --> 00:31:59,120 but i do i have listened to serious 896 00:32:02,710 --> 00:32:00,799 people who have said 897 00:32:04,789 --> 00:32:02,720 if we want to keep the lights on in 898 00:32:06,470 --> 00:32:04,799 industrial civilization in anything like 899 00:32:07,269 --> 00:32:06,480 the forum we currently have going 900 00:32:09,830 --> 00:32:07,279 forward 901 00:32:11,430 --> 00:32:09,840 that may be the only alternative even 902 00:32:13,990 --> 00:32:11,440 sure but greg the point really is 903 00:32:15,669 --> 00:32:14,000 is bill gates i mean oh yeah exactly 904 00:32:16,310 --> 00:32:15,679 which i was going to say the bill gates 905 00:32:20,789 --> 00:32:16,320 thing 906 00:32:22,070 --> 00:32:20,799 you see i take i i did take exception to 907 00:32:25,430 --> 00:32:22,080 what he was saying i said oh 908 00:32:27,110 --> 00:32:25,440 you can't just you know take bill gates 909 00:32:29,110 --> 00:32:27,120 as like one little dimension of his 910 00:32:30,549 --> 00:32:29,120 personality or look at bill gates bio on 911 00:32:32,549 --> 00:32:30,559 his own website and base 912 00:32:33,509 --> 00:32:32,559 say that that is bill gates so i agree 913 00:32:35,110 --> 00:32:33,519 you know that was the point of 914 00:32:36,310 --> 00:32:35,120 contention if there was anything in that 915 00:32:37,830 --> 00:32:36,320 that i'd like to 916 00:32:39,990 --> 00:32:37,840 to take up with bernardo it would be 917 00:32:41,029 --> 00:32:40,000 that i'd imagine his response would be i 918 00:32:42,389 --> 00:32:41,039 think you're right i don't think he's a 919 00:32:44,950 --> 00:32:42,399 conspiratorial 920 00:32:47,269 --> 00:32:44,960 kind of guy but i'd imagine his response 921 00:32:51,750 --> 00:32:47,279 would be something along the lines of 922 00:32:55,110 --> 00:32:51,760 yes but you know everybody's either 923 00:32:56,870 --> 00:32:55,120 attacking bill gates um or they're 924 00:32:58,549 --> 00:32:56,880 in bill gates camp and you don't hear 925 00:32:59,350 --> 00:32:58,559 them say anything other than agree with 926 00:33:01,029 --> 00:32:59,360 bill gates 927 00:33:02,549 --> 00:33:01,039 so he probably sees himself as some kind 928 00:33:04,630 --> 00:33:02,559 of impartial observer 929 00:33:05,669 --> 00:33:04,640 and he's like wouldn't it be good if 930 00:33:07,509 --> 00:33:05,679 bill gates 931 00:33:10,070 --> 00:33:07,519 considered this this is a well you see a 932 00:33:11,269 --> 00:33:10,080 lot of people open letter to the 933 00:33:13,029 --> 00:33:11,279 american president you know 934 00:33:14,389 --> 00:33:13,039 open letter to vladimir putin or 935 00:33:16,950 --> 00:33:14,399 whatever it happens to be 936 00:33:17,909 --> 00:33:16,960 um yeah so did you ask bernardo about 937 00:33:19,830 --> 00:33:17,919 kovid because 938 00:33:21,190 --> 00:33:19,840 i kind of got into it a little bit with 939 00:33:24,789 --> 00:33:21,200 him 940 00:33:25,350 --> 00:33:24,799 it no it wasn't um where we were well i 941 00:33:27,750 --> 00:33:25,360 did 942 00:33:29,110 --> 00:33:27,760 in my last interview with him which was 943 00:33:30,950 --> 00:33:29,120 freedom from fear 944 00:33:32,310 --> 00:33:30,960 we touched on a roundabout way about 945 00:33:33,350 --> 00:33:32,320 what's um 946 00:33:35,590 --> 00:33:33,360 happening in the world but we know we 947 00:33:38,870 --> 00:33:35,600 did not talk about the specifics of 948 00:33:39,990 --> 00:33:38,880 the uh the pandemic you know origins how 949 00:33:42,070 --> 00:33:40,000 that's playing out 950 00:33:43,669 --> 00:33:42,080 right so he's playing it from what i can 951 00:33:48,470 --> 00:33:43,679 tell and tell me if i'm wrong 952 00:33:50,630 --> 00:33:48,480 he is taking the covid 19 thing 953 00:33:53,029 --> 00:33:50,640 straight on he i mean he's taking the 954 00:33:56,389 --> 00:33:53,039 direct dose of the 955 00:34:01,029 --> 00:33:56,399 mainstream at this point to me 956 00:34:04,789 --> 00:34:01,039 completely uh illegitimized 957 00:34:07,509 --> 00:34:04,799 kind of thing i mean there is so much 958 00:34:08,069 --> 00:34:07,519 they've completely jury rigged the 959 00:34:11,389 --> 00:34:08,079 science 960 00:34:14,470 --> 00:34:11,399 this is a global warming version 961 00:34:17,510 --> 00:34:14,480 7.5 or whatever and bernardo 962 00:34:20,149 --> 00:34:17,520 from what i see bernardo is not 963 00:34:21,909 --> 00:34:20,159 showing the ability to kind of climb out 964 00:34:23,589 --> 00:34:21,919 of that mess he is going to 965 00:34:26,310 --> 00:34:23,599 it seems like he's going to stay right 966 00:34:29,109 --> 00:34:26,320 down the path of 967 00:34:30,629 --> 00:34:29,119 if you're if you're writing a letter 968 00:34:31,990 --> 00:34:30,639 with bill gates 969 00:34:33,829 --> 00:34:32,000 open letter to bill gates and you're 970 00:34:35,829 --> 00:34:33,839 fawning all over them then 971 00:34:38,710 --> 00:34:35,839 you're lining up for the vaccine and 972 00:34:41,669 --> 00:34:38,720 saying stick me and you know we'll 973 00:34:42,389 --> 00:34:41,679 we'll have this kind of global you know 974 00:34:45,190 --> 00:34:42,399 medical 975 00:34:45,829 --> 00:34:45,200 kind of system that they're that they're 976 00:34:48,310 --> 00:34:45,839 going for 977 00:34:49,349 --> 00:34:48,320 because let's have a little discussion 978 00:34:51,109 --> 00:34:49,359 about this i don't want to get into the 979 00:34:51,430 --> 00:34:51,119 whole culvet thing because it's a waste 980 00:34:55,349 --> 00:34:51,440 of 981 00:34:59,670 --> 00:34:55,359 think is interesting and 982 00:35:03,589 --> 00:34:59,680 is relevant is how we come to understand 983 00:35:05,030 --> 00:35:03,599 science and spirituality and philosophy 984 00:35:07,190 --> 00:35:05,040 and all the things that we're talking 985 00:35:10,310 --> 00:35:07,200 about and i think in the case 986 00:35:13,670 --> 00:35:10,320 of uh bill gates um 987 00:35:16,790 --> 00:35:13,680 just like in the case of bill gates 988 00:35:19,270 --> 00:35:16,800 we don't need to read too much into what 989 00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:19,280 he's saying because he's saying directly 990 00:35:24,310 --> 00:35:22,240 you will all need to be vaccinated 991 00:35:25,349 --> 00:35:24,320 multiple times and we will need to be 992 00:35:26,630 --> 00:35:25,359 able to 993 00:35:28,390 --> 00:35:26,640 his big thing is we're going to have to 994 00:35:32,230 --> 00:35:28,400 be able to track who 995 00:35:34,630 --> 00:35:32,240 is and who isn't so that we can control 996 00:35:35,829 --> 00:35:34,640 that he wants the one world control of 997 00:35:38,310 --> 00:35:35,839 those medical things 998 00:35:39,670 --> 00:35:38,320 this is not some wild conspiracy this is 999 00:35:42,870 --> 00:35:39,680 just exactly what he says 1000 00:35:44,630 --> 00:35:42,880 and this is what he says i guess 1001 00:35:46,790 --> 00:35:44,640 bernardo's letter was about nuclear 1002 00:35:50,390 --> 00:35:46,800 power and you're not wrong 1003 00:35:51,750 --> 00:35:50,400 uh to express you know your take on the 1004 00:35:52,950 --> 00:35:51,760 weight yet but i guess his letter was 1005 00:35:57,030 --> 00:35:52,960 about nuclear power 1006 00:35:58,150 --> 00:35:57,040 and there's it's almost impossible at 1007 00:36:01,510 --> 00:35:58,160 any given time 1008 00:36:04,150 --> 00:36:01,520 to tell what most people think 1009 00:36:04,790 --> 00:36:04,160 about anything important because most 1010 00:36:06,870 --> 00:36:04,800 people 1011 00:36:08,710 --> 00:36:06,880 don't win depending on the context of 1012 00:36:11,750 --> 00:36:08,720 their when they're speaking 1013 00:36:12,069 --> 00:36:11,760 um expressing themselves will quite 1014 00:36:13,190 --> 00:36:12,079 often 1015 00:36:15,430 --> 00:36:13,200 say something other than what they 1016 00:36:16,310 --> 00:36:15,440 actually think this makes it very 1017 00:36:18,550 --> 00:36:16,320 complicated 1018 00:36:19,510 --> 00:36:18,560 um for example we just had a u.s 1019 00:36:21,270 --> 00:36:19,520 election it 1020 00:36:22,550 --> 00:36:21,280 made it very complicated for pollsters 1021 00:36:24,950 --> 00:36:22,560 to actually establish 1022 00:36:27,430 --> 00:36:24,960 what the picture was amongst the public 1023 00:36:27,990 --> 00:36:27,440 so i know energetic correct let me 1024 00:36:30,470 --> 00:36:28,000 introduce you 1025 00:36:32,390 --> 00:36:30,480 it's just that the evidence suggests 1026 00:36:35,430 --> 00:36:32,400 that that is not what happened 1027 00:36:37,750 --> 00:36:35,440 the evidence suggested is that they 1028 00:36:39,589 --> 00:36:37,760 intentionally allowed themselves to be 1029 00:36:41,990 --> 00:36:39,599 deceived by the polls 1030 00:36:43,190 --> 00:36:42,000 in the same way they were deceived by 1031 00:36:45,510 --> 00:36:43,200 the polls 1032 00:36:47,670 --> 00:36:45,520 four years ago and there's actually one 1033 00:36:52,230 --> 00:36:47,680 guy who got the polls right 1034 00:36:55,430 --> 00:36:52,240 consistently uh last round in 2016 1035 00:36:58,550 --> 00:36:55,440 and was pretty much spot on uh 1036 00:37:00,630 --> 00:36:58,560 this time as well a taffler group or i 1037 00:37:01,349 --> 00:37:00,640 forget the name of it but you can easily 1038 00:37:04,069 --> 00:37:01,359 find it 1039 00:37:05,750 --> 00:37:04,079 but i started i never followed it 1040 00:37:06,950 --> 00:37:05,760 because i'm not into politics i'm 1041 00:37:08,390 --> 00:37:06,960 apolitical 1042 00:37:09,990 --> 00:37:08,400 but i kind of followed it this year 1043 00:37:11,670 --> 00:37:10,000 because of the science angle was 1044 00:37:14,310 --> 00:37:11,680 interesting 1045 00:37:15,589 --> 00:37:14,320 and what he pointed out is he said their 1046 00:37:18,710 --> 00:37:15,599 methodology 1047 00:37:20,390 --> 00:37:18,720 is flawed and the i and he said 1048 00:37:21,670 --> 00:37:20,400 specifically how it's flawed 1049 00:37:23,430 --> 00:37:21,680 he said the idea that you're going to 1050 00:37:25,109 --> 00:37:23,440 call somebody up 1051 00:37:27,349 --> 00:37:25,119 and they're going to answer a series of 1052 00:37:29,030 --> 00:37:27,359 20 or 30 questions 1053 00:37:30,390 --> 00:37:29,040 and during which they're going to be 1054 00:37:33,190 --> 00:37:30,400 completely truthful 1055 00:37:34,710 --> 00:37:33,200 with you and and transparent and then 1056 00:37:36,630 --> 00:37:34,720 they're going to give you their answer 1057 00:37:39,430 --> 00:37:36,640 on who they're going to vote for 1058 00:37:41,430 --> 00:37:39,440 is a poor way to collect that data and 1059 00:37:42,150 --> 00:37:41,440 what he found is a much more effective 1060 00:37:45,190 --> 00:37:42,160 way 1061 00:37:47,030 --> 00:37:45,200 is to build in some degree of anonymity 1062 00:37:49,190 --> 00:37:47,040 he said if you create a very short text 1063 00:37:50,870 --> 00:37:49,200 with people you're much more likely to 1064 00:37:52,710 --> 00:37:50,880 get a more accurate answer 1065 00:37:54,390 --> 00:37:52,720 and he has other techniques and other 1066 00:37:55,829 --> 00:37:54,400 questions that he asks 1067 00:37:58,150 --> 00:37:55,839 around this you know what will your 1068 00:38:02,150 --> 00:37:58,160 neighbor vote for but the proof 1069 00:38:04,670 --> 00:38:02,160 as they say is in the pudding this guy 1070 00:38:06,310 --> 00:38:04,680 was much more accurate in predicting in 1071 00:38:09,349 --> 00:38:06,320 2016 1072 00:38:11,750 --> 00:38:09,359 much more accurate in predicting in the 1073 00:38:13,109 --> 00:38:11,760 midterm cycle in the united states in 1074 00:38:15,510 --> 00:38:13,119 2018 1075 00:38:16,870 --> 00:38:15,520 and much more accurate in predicting in 1076 00:38:20,310 --> 00:38:16,880 2020 1077 00:38:22,390 --> 00:38:20,320 he is in the business of doing polls 1078 00:38:23,510 --> 00:38:22,400 that is his financial that's his 1079 00:38:25,349 --> 00:38:23,520 livelihood 1080 00:38:26,630 --> 00:38:25,359 so he it's not like you know and then 1081 00:38:29,030 --> 00:38:26,640 people will get into this and they'll 1082 00:38:31,030 --> 00:38:29,040 get political global he's a republican 1083 00:38:32,230 --> 00:38:31,040 it doesn't matter what the what the heck 1084 00:38:33,910 --> 00:38:32,240 he is 1085 00:38:35,829 --> 00:38:33,920 he's either going to have people that 1086 00:38:37,270 --> 00:38:35,839 are going to pay him to do polls 1087 00:38:38,870 --> 00:38:37,280 or he's going to have people who are not 1088 00:38:41,349 --> 00:38:38,880 going to pay him to do polls 1089 00:38:42,710 --> 00:38:41,359 and the fact that he's more accurate in 1090 00:38:45,589 --> 00:38:42,720 his prediction 1091 00:38:45,990 --> 00:38:45,599 is all we should really care about but 1092 00:38:54,069 --> 00:38:46,000 what 1093 00:38:56,470 --> 00:38:54,079 cnn and nbc 1094 00:38:57,430 --> 00:38:56,480 and ap and all the rest of them they 1095 00:39:01,430 --> 00:38:57,440 weren't real 1096 00:39:03,750 --> 00:39:01,440 polls they were just an attempt to 1097 00:39:04,550 --> 00:39:03,760 influence the vote by offering an 1098 00:39:06,870 --> 00:39:04,560 opinion 1099 00:39:08,870 --> 00:39:06,880 otherwise they wouldn't so consistently 1100 00:39:12,790 --> 00:39:08,880 be so 1101 00:39:13,349 --> 00:39:12,800 unbelievably wrong oh yeah i mean i got 1102 00:39:15,750 --> 00:39:13,359 onto that 1103 00:39:17,510 --> 00:39:15,760 because i was talking about bernardo how 1104 00:39:21,030 --> 00:39:17,520 do we know what he really thinks 1105 00:39:23,190 --> 00:39:21,040 about the what's happening with covid 1106 00:39:24,630 --> 00:39:23,200 and so you as you've confirmed you know 1107 00:39:27,270 --> 00:39:24,640 most people in certain 1108 00:39:28,630 --> 00:39:27,280 contexts won't speak up about what they 1109 00:39:30,390 --> 00:39:28,640 really think and that does 1110 00:39:33,270 --> 00:39:30,400 i i think this is what you're driving 1111 00:39:36,870 --> 00:39:33,280 that doesn't leave the door open 1112 00:39:38,630 --> 00:39:36,880 um for people to be influenced by what 1113 00:39:40,230 --> 00:39:38,640 they think other people think 1114 00:39:42,069 --> 00:39:40,240 in the absence of other people saying 1115 00:39:42,550 --> 00:39:42,079 what they really think if you see what i 1116 00:39:44,230 --> 00:39:42,560 mean 1117 00:39:46,470 --> 00:39:44,240 so you're being told oh well everybody 1118 00:39:47,349 --> 00:39:46,480 thinks this everybody's going to vote 1119 00:39:49,510 --> 00:39:47,359 for them oh 1120 00:39:50,790 --> 00:39:49,520 you know the the pollsters have called 1121 00:39:52,470 --> 00:39:50,800 for so and so 1122 00:39:54,069 --> 00:39:52,480 or you know everybody knows that this 1123 00:39:55,270 --> 00:39:54,079 idea the scientific idea is being 1124 00:39:57,030 --> 00:39:55,280 debunked 1125 00:39:58,550 --> 00:39:57,040 um everybody knows that this idea of 1126 00:39:59,990 --> 00:39:58,560 lizard people is complete nonsense you 1127 00:40:00,950 --> 00:40:00,000 know it's been proved or whatever 1128 00:40:04,870 --> 00:40:00,960 happens to be 1129 00:40:06,550 --> 00:40:04,880 and people are influenced by that 1130 00:40:07,990 --> 00:40:06,560 and because if you you know again if 1131 00:40:09,589 --> 00:40:08,000 people don't want to just 1132 00:40:11,349 --> 00:40:09,599 they don't want to stick out amongst 1133 00:40:13,030 --> 00:40:11,359 their peers one of the reasons why they 1134 00:40:14,470 --> 00:40:13,040 don't say what they think and if you 1135 00:40:16,309 --> 00:40:14,480 believe that you're in a minority and 1136 00:40:19,430 --> 00:40:16,319 that's what people 1137 00:40:22,950 --> 00:40:19,440 are encouraged to feel in many 1138 00:40:25,829 --> 00:40:22,960 uh areas of of life is that 1139 00:40:27,589 --> 00:40:25,839 if what you think doesn't fit with the 1140 00:40:29,589 --> 00:40:27,599 the ruling paradigm 1141 00:40:34,790 --> 00:40:29,599 then you will be in a minority even if 1142 00:40:38,150 --> 00:40:36,630 right which is a major right which is 1143 00:40:40,790 --> 00:40:38,160 most people yeah yeah 1144 00:40:41,670 --> 00:40:40,800 but i mean back to you know bernardo and 1145 00:40:42,950 --> 00:40:41,680 i don't want to 1146 00:40:44,230 --> 00:40:42,960 certainly don't want to pick on bernard 1147 00:40:45,589 --> 00:40:44,240 because we're both saying we respect the 1148 00:40:47,910 --> 00:40:45,599 heck out of his work and 1149 00:40:49,510 --> 00:40:47,920 the brilliance of publishing all those 1150 00:40:51,349 --> 00:40:49,520 peer-reviewed papers which i think is 1151 00:40:52,550 --> 00:40:51,359 important some people want to crap on 1152 00:40:55,829 --> 00:40:52,560 peer review and go 1153 00:40:58,470 --> 00:40:55,839 oh yeah it's no go 1154 00:41:00,150 --> 00:40:58,480 it's it's better than the alternative 1155 00:41:01,109 --> 00:41:00,160 it's better than someone just spouting a 1156 00:41:03,829 --> 00:41:01,119 bunch of crap 1157 00:41:04,950 --> 00:41:03,839 that isn't reviewed by your peers and a 1158 00:41:06,230 --> 00:41:04,960 lot of times on these peer-reviewed 1159 00:41:11,190 --> 00:41:06,240 papers a lot of people don't 1160 00:41:14,230 --> 00:41:11,200 know the review part of the peer review 1161 00:41:15,990 --> 00:41:14,240 is published so you can see what someone 1162 00:41:18,710 --> 00:41:16,000 said and if someone is just 1163 00:41:21,190 --> 00:41:18,720 going along and not doing deep analysis 1164 00:41:23,270 --> 00:41:21,200 you can go read that so i respect 1165 00:41:24,950 --> 00:41:23,280 in general the peer review process i 1166 00:41:27,750 --> 00:41:24,960 think it's a very important part 1167 00:41:29,030 --> 00:41:27,760 of the scientific process and i respect 1168 00:41:32,710 --> 00:41:29,040 uh 1169 00:41:34,069 --> 00:41:32,720 his rigor in that in that regard 1170 00:41:35,510 --> 00:41:34,079 what i'm pointing out and i'm making a 1171 00:41:37,109 --> 00:41:35,520 big deal out of it because i think it is 1172 00:41:38,470 --> 00:41:37,119 a huge deal 1173 00:41:40,630 --> 00:41:38,480 is that if if people don't get this 1174 00:41:42,309 --> 00:41:40,640 conspiratorial angle and bernardo 1175 00:41:43,750 --> 00:41:42,319 doesn't fundamentally he doesn't get it 1176 00:41:48,710 --> 00:41:43,760 he doesn't get it with 1177 00:41:49,990 --> 00:41:48,720 consciousness he really doesn't get it 1178 00:41:53,430 --> 00:41:50,000 he doesn't get 1179 00:41:57,430 --> 00:41:53,440 that um that the system is not 1180 00:41:59,589 --> 00:41:57,440 just willfully ignorant but it's gamed 1181 00:42:01,750 --> 00:41:59,599 it's gamed to look away from the 1182 00:42:05,030 --> 00:42:01,760 evidence for extended consciousness 1183 00:42:05,750 --> 00:42:05,040 it's game to look favorably on the 1184 00:42:08,710 --> 00:42:05,760 evidence 1185 00:42:09,750 --> 00:42:08,720 for scientific materialism and it's more 1186 00:42:11,990 --> 00:42:09,760 than one 1187 00:42:12,950 --> 00:42:12,000 funeral at a time it is one funeral at a 1188 00:42:15,030 --> 00:42:12,960 time but it's 1189 00:42:15,990 --> 00:42:15,040 more than one funeral at a time that's 1190 00:42:19,589 --> 00:42:16,000 my hypothesis 1191 00:42:20,550 --> 00:42:19,599 that is my opinion but bernardo is 1192 00:42:22,790 --> 00:42:20,560 having none of that 1193 00:42:23,910 --> 00:42:22,800 so that's okay he maybe he's right and 1194 00:42:27,510 --> 00:42:23,920 maybe i'm wrong 1195 00:42:29,829 --> 00:42:27,520 but to draw that out and say 1196 00:42:31,589 --> 00:42:29,839 which i am and i'm saying hey that's a 1197 00:42:32,630 --> 00:42:31,599 big part of this 1198 00:42:34,550 --> 00:42:32,640 getting to the bottom of the 1199 00:42:35,030 --> 00:42:34,560 conspiratorial thing is a big part of it 1200 00:42:37,190 --> 00:42:35,040 because it 1201 00:42:38,630 --> 00:42:37,200 always comes into play like we're just 1202 00:42:40,150 --> 00:42:38,640 talking about polling and i get you're 1203 00:42:42,150 --> 00:42:40,160 just using it as analogy 1204 00:42:44,230 --> 00:42:42,160 but my point about the polling was 1205 00:42:46,470 --> 00:42:44,240 there's a science behind that and if you 1206 00:42:49,829 --> 00:42:46,480 go look at the science what it reveals 1207 00:42:52,309 --> 00:42:49,839 is a conspiracy is that oh the poor guys 1208 00:42:56,069 --> 00:42:52,319 that abc news they got it wrong again 1209 00:42:59,270 --> 00:42:56,079 gosh darn it no no 1210 00:43:01,510 --> 00:42:59,280 they intentionally got it wrong 1211 00:43:02,870 --> 00:43:01,520 and they never acknowledged it and they 1212 00:43:06,230 --> 00:43:02,880 never admitted it 1213 00:43:09,430 --> 00:43:06,240 and they continue to produce falsified 1214 00:43:12,470 --> 00:43:09,440 data with a poor uh 1215 00:43:14,069 --> 00:43:12,480 protocol for getting it and here's a guy 1216 00:43:14,790 --> 00:43:14,079 who's saying i'm show you exactly where 1217 00:43:16,790 --> 00:43:14,800 you're pro 1218 00:43:18,470 --> 00:43:16,800 how it's wrong because my mind's always 1219 00:43:21,430 --> 00:43:18,480 right so 1220 00:43:21,829 --> 00:43:21,440 that is conspiratorial and if it's not 1221 00:43:24,950 --> 00:43:21,839 made 1222 00:43:26,230 --> 00:43:24,960 clear and explicit and talked about as a 1223 00:43:29,589 --> 00:43:26,240 conspiracy 1224 00:43:31,270 --> 00:43:29,599 then it takes on a different meaning it 1225 00:43:31,990 --> 00:43:31,280 takes on a well let's just read the la 1226 00:43:34,950 --> 00:43:32,000 he's 1227 00:43:36,630 --> 00:43:34,960 the bill gates letter is just about 1228 00:43:39,510 --> 00:43:36,640 nuclear power 1229 00:43:42,069 --> 00:43:39,520 you know i'll finish the rant here but i 1230 00:43:44,069 --> 00:43:42,079 just did an interview with uh 1231 00:43:45,589 --> 00:43:44,079 no i'll leave it at that because i go 1232 00:43:49,510 --> 00:43:45,599 all of it on all these side drills 1233 00:43:51,750 --> 00:43:49,520 i'll leave it at that well what you're 1234 00:43:54,390 --> 00:43:51,760 driving at partly there is what i kind 1235 00:43:55,670 --> 00:43:54,400 of want to get to um 1236 00:43:57,430 --> 00:43:55,680 with what i'm doing actually at the 1237 00:43:59,190 --> 00:43:57,440 moment because i think we find ourselves 1238 00:44:03,109 --> 00:43:59,200 at a similar juncture 1239 00:44:06,630 --> 00:44:03,119 um and that is if there 1240 00:44:07,190 --> 00:44:06,640 if it is gained if all of this is game 1241 00:44:10,470 --> 00:44:07,200 to what 1242 00:44:11,829 --> 00:44:10,480 then it's like what uh how can we see 1243 00:44:13,030 --> 00:44:11,839 that happening where should we look for 1244 00:44:13,750 --> 00:44:13,040 what are the indications of that 1245 00:44:16,790 --> 00:44:13,760 happening you know 1246 00:44:19,990 --> 00:44:16,800 what the telltale signs and 1247 00:44:23,109 --> 00:44:20,000 as always what for to 1248 00:44:23,829 --> 00:44:23,119 what end and i've um over the last few 1249 00:44:26,230 --> 00:44:23,839 years 1250 00:44:26,950 --> 00:44:26,240 i've done particularly good interviews 1251 00:44:28,390 --> 00:44:26,960 with uh 1252 00:44:29,750 --> 00:44:28,400 you may or may not be familiar with some 1253 00:44:30,790 --> 00:44:29,760 of these guys sorry if they're in your 1254 00:44:34,069 --> 00:44:30,800 archives and i've not 1255 00:44:39,190 --> 00:44:34,079 uh stumbled across them um paul levy 1256 00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:41,430 yeah a couple he's he's his book from 1257 00:44:44,710 --> 00:44:43,280 years ago was dispelling watico he has 1258 00:44:46,950 --> 00:44:44,720 published since then 1259 00:44:47,910 --> 00:44:46,960 um that's a night in sort of indigenous 1260 00:44:51,829 --> 00:44:47,920 people's 1261 00:44:54,470 --> 00:44:51,839 view of what you know of evil um 1262 00:44:55,910 --> 00:44:54,480 recently a couple great researchers uh 1263 00:44:58,790 --> 00:44:55,920 again u.s based 1264 00:45:01,349 --> 00:44:58,800 uh colin e davis and melissa murray uh 1265 00:45:04,710 --> 00:45:01,359 we've done great work on the shadow side 1266 00:45:08,390 --> 00:45:04,720 um of a few 1267 00:45:10,390 --> 00:45:08,400 of the species and on jungian psychology 1268 00:45:11,670 --> 00:45:10,400 and psychoanalysis and also a guy i 1269 00:45:13,510 --> 00:45:11,680 respect greatly 1270 00:45:14,710 --> 00:45:13,520 a guy called mark stavish and all these 1271 00:45:16,309 --> 00:45:14,720 people have been on with me recently 1272 00:45:17,750 --> 00:45:16,319 actually since 1273 00:45:19,349 --> 00:45:17,760 the outbreak of the pandemic because i 1274 00:45:20,950 --> 00:45:19,359 wanted to talk to them all about this 1275 00:45:21,349 --> 00:45:20,960 and what were the deeper layers behind 1276 00:45:24,390 --> 00:45:21,359 this 1277 00:45:26,550 --> 00:45:24,400 and we've been talking shadow 1278 00:45:28,069 --> 00:45:26,560 and we've because what i've been doing 1279 00:45:28,870 --> 00:45:28,079 is what i've said a moment ago i've been 1280 00:45:30,309 --> 00:45:28,880 trying to what 1281 00:45:31,829 --> 00:45:30,319 evidence are we looking for here what 1282 00:45:33,589 --> 00:45:31,839 there's other layers going on here if 1283 00:45:35,190 --> 00:45:33,599 we've got as far 1284 00:45:36,870 --> 00:45:35,200 as with bernardo's work we got to a 1285 00:45:38,230 --> 00:45:36,880 certain point and there's something else 1286 00:45:39,750 --> 00:45:38,240 going on if there's still 1287 00:45:41,270 --> 00:45:39,760 what's missing here what are we not 1288 00:45:42,470 --> 00:45:41,280 seeing then 1289 00:45:44,630 --> 00:45:42,480 what should we look for what are the 1290 00:45:46,390 --> 00:45:44,640 signs and then what 1291 00:45:49,910 --> 00:45:46,400 for can we just you know what what's 1292 00:45:54,470 --> 00:45:52,790 well you know and uh i might not have 1293 00:45:55,270 --> 00:45:54,480 interviewed paul levy i'm just familiar 1294 00:45:57,829 --> 00:45:55,280 with that 1295 00:45:58,870 --> 00:45:57,839 that book and i think i've i'd really 1296 00:46:02,069 --> 00:45:58,880 like to have mine so 1297 00:46:03,670 --> 00:46:02,079 have you interviewed him yeah twice when 1298 00:46:05,589 --> 00:46:03,680 to spelling what teco came out and then 1299 00:46:07,150 --> 00:46:05,599 more recently because 1300 00:46:08,710 --> 00:46:07,160 if you go to his website 1301 00:46:10,230 --> 00:46:08,720 awakeningthedream.com he's got a whole 1302 00:46:12,069 --> 00:46:10,240 series of articles just 1303 00:46:13,510 --> 00:46:12,079 coronavirus articles he's got a special 1304 00:46:16,790 --> 00:46:13,520 subsection and that's 1305 00:46:18,390 --> 00:46:16,800 all about the deep psychological levels 1306 00:46:20,710 --> 00:46:18,400 here you know he because he takes a sort 1307 00:46:23,910 --> 00:46:20,720 of a jungian 1308 00:46:26,150 --> 00:46:23,920 approach to this uh again paraphrasing 1309 00:46:27,990 --> 00:46:26,160 jung as i did in my interview with 1310 00:46:31,589 --> 00:46:28,000 bernardo actually uh 1311 00:46:33,589 --> 00:46:31,599 more or less that which is denied 1312 00:46:34,790 --> 00:46:33,599 within us you know within our 1313 00:46:38,230 --> 00:46:34,800 subconscious within the 1314 00:46:41,109 --> 00:46:38,240 psyche manifests itself in the world 1315 00:46:41,990 --> 00:46:41,119 as an event and that's the the those are 1316 00:46:43,829 --> 00:46:42,000 the dimensions of 1317 00:46:45,829 --> 00:46:43,839 what we're undergoing now that i'm most 1318 00:46:47,510 --> 00:46:45,839 interested in where is this coming from 1319 00:46:50,150 --> 00:46:47,520 what does it mean because it isn't 1320 00:46:51,109 --> 00:46:50,160 the literal reading of it you know 3d 1321 00:46:52,550 --> 00:46:51,119 world perspective 1322 00:46:54,390 --> 00:46:52,560 there's a virus some people are getting 1323 00:46:57,589 --> 00:46:54,400 sick and we're reacting to it 1324 00:46:59,030 --> 00:46:57,599 that's that's a sideshow well see here's 1325 00:47:03,190 --> 00:46:59,040 the interesting part of that and 1326 00:47:05,589 --> 00:47:03,200 and we'll maybe sidestep partially 1327 00:47:06,710 --> 00:47:05,599 the covid thing because we're all so 1328 00:47:09,510 --> 00:47:06,720 kind of 1329 00:47:11,430 --> 00:47:09,520 burned out on the cycles with it but you 1330 00:47:14,870 --> 00:47:11,440 know they said the same thing about 1331 00:47:18,870 --> 00:47:14,880 um global warming right 1332 00:47:22,630 --> 00:47:18,880 so same thing you know jungian 1333 00:47:24,630 --> 00:47:22,640 earth gaia revenge all that stuff 1334 00:47:26,069 --> 00:47:24,640 except science reveals that they're full 1335 00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:26,079 of [\h__\h] right 1336 00:47:30,549 --> 00:47:28,640 there's no global warming we have one 1337 00:47:32,870 --> 00:47:30,559 measure for global warming 1338 00:47:35,589 --> 00:47:32,880 it's sea level that's the only measure 1339 00:47:38,150 --> 00:47:35,599 right that's the only measure that 1340 00:47:38,950 --> 00:47:38,160 that's the only measure that they ever 1341 00:47:40,710 --> 00:47:38,960 talked about 1342 00:47:42,069 --> 00:47:40,720 as being meaningful all these islands 1343 00:47:42,470 --> 00:47:42,079 are going to be flooded and stuff like 1344 00:47:45,030 --> 00:47:42,480 that 1345 00:47:45,670 --> 00:47:45,040 and then if you go and you know i think 1346 00:47:49,109 --> 00:47:45,680 the best 1347 00:47:52,390 --> 00:47:49,119 go-to person on this is probably 1348 00:47:53,109 --> 00:47:52,400 judith curry phd head of the climatology 1349 00:47:54,710 --> 00:47:53,119 department at 1350 00:47:55,829 --> 00:47:54,720 georgia tech university and i don't even 1351 00:47:57,589 --> 00:47:55,839 know where you come down on global 1352 00:48:00,230 --> 00:47:57,599 warming but 1353 00:48:01,910 --> 00:48:00,240 and she did this extensive kind of 1354 00:48:03,750 --> 00:48:01,920 peer-reviewed analysis 1355 00:48:06,150 --> 00:48:03,760 of sea level because sea level is the 1356 00:48:08,470 --> 00:48:06,160 issue the ice is in the glass 1357 00:48:10,150 --> 00:48:08,480 if the ice melts the level of the water 1358 00:48:12,549 --> 00:48:10,160 in the glass goes up 1359 00:48:13,750 --> 00:48:12,559 if you freeze it you put more than it 1360 00:48:17,030 --> 00:48:13,760 goes down 1361 00:48:20,470 --> 00:48:17,040 we can measure ice levels and water 1362 00:48:22,230 --> 00:48:20,480 sea level levels for tens of thousands 1363 00:48:23,750 --> 00:48:22,240 of years we just go to the ice core and 1364 00:48:25,589 --> 00:48:23,760 we can get all that data 1365 00:48:27,349 --> 00:48:25,599 they've gone up they've gone down 1366 00:48:28,710 --> 00:48:27,359 they've been higher they've been lower 1367 00:48:31,030 --> 00:48:28,720 they've been much lower but they've even 1368 00:48:33,829 --> 00:48:31,040 been higher up to six feet 1369 00:48:34,710 --> 00:48:33,839 but right around where you live and 1370 00:48:37,510 --> 00:48:34,720 where i live 1371 00:48:39,349 --> 00:48:37,520 you know they've measured sea levels for 1372 00:48:42,069 --> 00:48:39,359 hundreds of years 1373 00:48:43,270 --> 00:48:42,079 they essentially have not changed they 1374 00:48:45,510 --> 00:48:43,280 haven't changed 1375 00:48:47,349 --> 00:48:45,520 because there hasn't been any global 1376 00:48:49,109 --> 00:48:47,359 warming to speak of 1377 00:48:51,030 --> 00:48:49,119 tiny bit but nothing enough to make a 1378 00:48:52,950 --> 00:48:51,040 difference my point is 1379 00:48:54,230 --> 00:48:52,960 the science and a lot of people are 1380 00:48:54,870 --> 00:48:54,240 going to reject to that i know because 1381 00:48:58,230 --> 00:48:54,880 they get all 1382 00:49:01,750 --> 00:48:58,240 been out of shape the science suggests 1383 00:49:02,710 --> 00:49:01,760 that it's not on solid footing the idea 1384 00:49:05,990 --> 00:49:02,720 of 1385 00:49:09,589 --> 00:49:06,000 man-made global warming due to carbon 1386 00:49:13,270 --> 00:49:09,599 output and yet 1387 00:49:16,230 --> 00:49:13,280 paul levy and those types 1388 00:49:17,109 --> 00:49:16,240 were offering a jungian explanation for 1389 00:49:19,910 --> 00:49:17,119 it 1390 00:49:21,829 --> 00:49:19,920 so this is the this is the failing of 1391 00:49:22,870 --> 00:49:21,839 philosophy and i know he's not strictly 1392 00:49:25,589 --> 00:49:22,880 a philosopher 1393 00:49:26,630 --> 00:49:25,599 but this is where where philosophy has 1394 00:49:30,150 --> 00:49:26,640 failed 1395 00:49:32,630 --> 00:49:30,160 they've been swamped by science 1396 00:49:33,589 --> 00:49:32,640 they can't process the science and they 1397 00:49:35,750 --> 00:49:33,599 know they can't 1398 00:49:37,589 --> 00:49:35,760 so they just throw up their hands and 1399 00:49:39,030 --> 00:49:37,599 they randomly take one position or 1400 00:49:42,390 --> 00:49:39,040 another on science 1401 00:49:46,630 --> 00:49:42,400 and then they build some kind of 1402 00:49:49,190 --> 00:49:46,640 understanding based on what is often 1403 00:49:50,630 --> 00:49:49,200 crappy science that is very opinionated 1404 00:49:54,069 --> 00:49:50,640 that's my take so 1405 00:49:56,549 --> 00:49:54,079 good what's your take well 1406 00:49:58,230 --> 00:49:56,559 on global warming clearly the climate 1407 00:49:59,829 --> 00:49:58,240 changes so i don't like to use the word 1408 00:50:02,710 --> 00:49:59,839 global warming in fact 1409 00:50:04,150 --> 00:50:02,720 lots of uh globalists didn't like people 1410 00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:04,160 using that after a while because 1411 00:50:07,829 --> 00:50:06,480 when the temperature took a dive then it 1412 00:50:09,349 --> 00:50:07,839 was an opportunity for people to say 1413 00:50:11,990 --> 00:50:09,359 what global warming 1414 00:50:13,910 --> 00:50:12,000 yes so the climate change is over long 1415 00:50:16,549 --> 00:50:13,920 periods of time we can see that you know 1416 00:50:17,109 --> 00:50:16,559 records of that all over the earth and 1417 00:50:20,309 --> 00:50:17,119 there 1418 00:50:22,230 --> 00:50:20,319 even we have in the era of modern humans 1419 00:50:24,470 --> 00:50:22,240 we know we have all the 1420 00:50:27,510 --> 00:50:24,480 the myths and legends and anecdotal 1421 00:50:30,470 --> 00:50:27,520 stories passed down to us about 1422 00:50:31,270 --> 00:50:30,480 um at the ice ages and you know global 1423 00:50:34,390 --> 00:50:31,280 flooding of the 1424 00:50:37,430 --> 00:50:34,400 the flood the deluge is a global myth 1425 00:50:40,790 --> 00:50:37,440 so it seems clear to me that uh that 1426 00:50:43,430 --> 00:50:40,800 everything points to the large changes 1427 00:50:43,829 --> 00:50:43,440 in climate and other geological factors 1428 00:50:47,430 --> 00:50:43,839 they 1429 00:50:49,670 --> 00:50:47,440 take place over long periods of time 1430 00:50:51,349 --> 00:50:49,680 large scale changes in the earth 1431 00:50:54,549 --> 00:50:51,359 generally don't take place 1432 00:50:56,870 --> 00:50:54,559 very quickly i think that human activity 1433 00:50:58,390 --> 00:50:56,880 can affect climate particularly locally 1434 00:50:59,990 --> 00:50:58,400 i think really definitely you can see 1435 00:51:01,510 --> 00:51:00,000 that when you go into uh if you go 1436 00:51:03,030 --> 00:51:01,520 i go from here and go into london you 1437 00:51:03,910 --> 00:51:03,040 know it's warmer straight away once we 1438 00:51:06,630 --> 00:51:03,920 get in 1439 00:51:07,750 --> 00:51:06,640 um and in terms of pollution as well i 1440 00:51:09,589 --> 00:51:07,760 think a lot of pollution 1441 00:51:10,950 --> 00:51:09,599 in one you see like in china for example 1442 00:51:11,910 --> 00:51:10,960 in concentrated area can definitely 1443 00:51:13,670 --> 00:51:11,920 affect the climate 1444 00:51:15,589 --> 00:51:13,680 but as far as the whole global picture 1445 00:51:16,630 --> 00:51:15,599 goes i i don't the way it's presented i 1446 00:51:19,750 --> 00:51:16,640 don't think 1447 00:51:21,589 --> 00:51:19,760 is um is the case uh 1448 00:51:23,349 --> 00:51:21,599 certainly as you say we'd be expecting 1449 00:51:24,790 --> 00:51:23,359 to see some more evidence for it now but 1450 00:51:25,990 --> 00:51:24,800 again that we could talk about that all 1451 00:51:28,390 --> 00:51:26,000 day 1452 00:51:29,390 --> 00:51:28,400 but as far as you'd point you made about 1453 00:51:31,190 --> 00:51:29,400 some other people offering 1454 00:51:34,309 --> 00:51:31,200 interpretations 1455 00:51:34,790 --> 00:51:34,319 of let's say great because you can you 1456 00:51:37,589 --> 00:51:34,800 remember 1457 00:51:38,870 --> 00:51:37,599 the run-up to 2012 there was going to be 1458 00:51:41,030 --> 00:51:38,880 this great 1459 00:51:42,710 --> 00:51:41,040 earth change this consciousness shift 1460 00:51:44,069 --> 00:51:42,720 that was going to happen and people were 1461 00:51:45,829 --> 00:51:44,079 offering all sorts of interpretations 1462 00:51:47,270 --> 00:51:45,839 about why it was going to happen 1463 00:51:48,790 --> 00:51:47,280 some of them were scientific some of 1464 00:51:50,390 --> 00:51:48,800 them were pseudo-scientific some of them 1465 00:51:51,829 --> 00:51:50,400 are philosophical some of them were 1466 00:51:53,430 --> 00:51:51,839 psychological 1467 00:51:55,109 --> 00:51:53,440 uh psycho-spiritual there's all these 1468 00:51:56,710 --> 00:51:55,119 people saying and this is the reason why 1469 00:51:57,270 --> 00:51:56,720 this shift is happening and then nothing 1470 00:52:00,630 --> 00:51:57,280 happened 1471 00:52:02,230 --> 00:52:00,640 apparently um so i think 1472 00:52:03,670 --> 00:52:02,240 that that's natural and if you have 1473 00:52:05,190 --> 00:52:03,680 someone who 1474 00:52:06,710 --> 00:52:05,200 and david i could certainly be counted 1475 00:52:08,390 --> 00:52:06,720 in this camp if you have someone who's 1476 00:52:10,390 --> 00:52:08,400 bringing their 1477 00:52:11,910 --> 00:52:10,400 perception to bear on the world around 1478 00:52:14,230 --> 00:52:11,920 them and trying to interpret it 1479 00:52:16,230 --> 00:52:14,240 and give a bit as they see a better 1480 00:52:18,549 --> 00:52:16,240 reading of what's going on than 1481 00:52:19,510 --> 00:52:18,559 we're mostly being offered of course 1482 00:52:21,030 --> 00:52:19,520 they will 1483 00:52:22,549 --> 00:52:21,040 because as you say not everyone's an 1484 00:52:23,190 --> 00:52:22,559 expert in everything and david's been 1485 00:52:26,230 --> 00:52:23,200 guilty of this 1486 00:52:28,309 --> 00:52:26,240 they will imply they will apply their 1487 00:52:29,270 --> 00:52:28,319 their template or their interpretation 1488 00:52:31,510 --> 00:52:29,280 to something that 1489 00:52:32,790 --> 00:52:31,520 turns out to be on a false basis if you 1490 00:52:35,510 --> 00:52:32,800 see what i mean 1491 00:52:36,950 --> 00:52:35,520 so not everyone who is interpreting 1492 00:52:39,829 --> 00:52:36,960 interpreting uh 1493 00:52:40,150 --> 00:52:39,839 global warming projections on a you know 1494 00:52:45,990 --> 00:52:40,160 a 1495 00:52:47,349 --> 00:52:46,000 got 1496 00:52:48,790 --> 00:52:47,359 that particular thing wrong or maybe 1497 00:52:50,549 --> 00:52:48,800 they're inhabit in the habit of 1498 00:52:51,750 --> 00:52:50,559 interpreting every single thing that 1499 00:52:54,870 --> 00:52:51,760 occurs 1500 00:52:56,710 --> 00:52:54,880 in their consciousness through that lens 1501 00:52:57,990 --> 00:52:56,720 including i've often found including 1502 00:53:01,670 --> 00:52:58,000 people that do it 1503 00:53:04,710 --> 00:53:01,680 on stuff that's incredibly 1504 00:53:06,630 --> 00:53:04,720 uh culturally specific you know like 1505 00:53:07,750 --> 00:53:06,640 here in the united states we have a 1506 00:53:11,030 --> 00:53:07,760 complete 1507 00:53:13,349 --> 00:53:11,040 you know uh egocentric kind of 1508 00:53:14,069 --> 00:53:13,359 a view of our country so something will 1509 00:53:15,829 --> 00:53:14,079 you know the whole 1510 00:53:17,349 --> 00:53:15,839 world right now is going through an 1511 00:53:19,829 --> 00:53:17,359 election crisis 1512 00:53:20,470 --> 00:53:19,839 no it's really just in the united states 1513 00:53:23,349 --> 00:53:20,480 folks 1514 00:53:25,109 --> 00:53:23,359 it's not the entire world there might be 1515 00:53:28,309 --> 00:53:25,119 larger implications 1516 00:53:30,150 --> 00:53:28,319 one could make but you know i mean 1517 00:53:32,630 --> 00:53:30,160 it just it's one of the annoying things 1518 00:53:34,870 --> 00:53:32,640 for me particularly because 1519 00:53:35,750 --> 00:53:34,880 you know back to the placebo effect kind 1520 00:53:37,589 --> 00:53:35,760 of thing 1521 00:53:39,030 --> 00:53:37,599 and and back to the conspiratorial 1522 00:53:42,390 --> 00:53:39,040 things these 1523 00:53:44,390 --> 00:53:42,400 things are being rigged into the system 1524 00:53:47,829 --> 00:53:44,400 and we're constantly being played 1525 00:53:52,230 --> 00:53:47,839 so i just pull up on the you know 1526 00:53:55,990 --> 00:53:52,240 deep psychology the jungian shadow side 1527 00:53:58,470 --> 00:53:56,000 of covid19 pump the brakes minute 1528 00:53:59,030 --> 00:53:58,480 let's figure out whether it was a virus 1529 00:54:02,230 --> 00:53:59,040 that was 1530 00:54:02,630 --> 00:54:02,240 engineered in a bio weapons lab in hunan 1531 00:54:05,190 --> 00:54:02,640 let's 1532 00:54:07,510 --> 00:54:05,200 establish whether that is true or not 1533 00:54:11,510 --> 00:54:07,520 that might have a bearing on 1534 00:54:13,030 --> 00:54:11,520 you know your whole thing about 1535 00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:13,040 deep psychology kind of thing you're 1536 00:54:15,750 --> 00:54:14,480 gonna have to work that into your into 1537 00:54:19,589 --> 00:54:15,760 your speech there so 1538 00:54:20,390 --> 00:54:19,599 give it a pause well i mean if if 1539 00:54:22,950 --> 00:54:20,400 consciousness 1540 00:54:23,990 --> 00:54:22,960 is the ground of being and everything's 1541 00:54:26,710 --> 00:54:24,000 within consciousness 1542 00:54:29,109 --> 00:54:26,720 then what who knows what form that could 1543 00:54:31,349 --> 00:54:29,119 take i don't see how that disallows 1544 00:54:33,109 --> 00:54:31,359 um an engineered virus in wuhan that's 1545 00:54:37,109 --> 00:54:33,119 such an event playing out 1546 00:54:38,950 --> 00:54:37,119 yeah but it doesn't it it is 1547 00:54:40,950 --> 00:54:38,960 you can't get there from here right i 1548 00:54:43,750 --> 00:54:40,960 mean if you're going to say 1549 00:54:46,789 --> 00:54:43,760 look you know i i interviewed uh did you 1550 00:54:49,430 --> 00:54:46,799 ever interview donald hoffman 1551 00:54:51,589 --> 00:54:49,440 no no the name rings available he he is 1552 00:54:52,390 --> 00:54:51,599 really a brilliant guy he's a caltech 1553 00:54:59,349 --> 00:54:52,400 physicist 1554 00:55:01,270 --> 00:54:59,359 and highly respected um and he's 1555 00:55:03,589 --> 00:55:01,280 somebody who kind of completely but 1556 00:55:05,670 --> 00:55:03,599 politely kind of destroys the scientific 1557 00:55:07,750 --> 00:55:05,680 materialism 1558 00:55:09,349 --> 00:55:07,760 and when he and i talked we had an 1559 00:55:10,710 --> 00:55:09,359 awesome moment 1560 00:55:12,390 --> 00:55:10,720 when we were talking then about 1561 00:55:13,750 --> 00:55:12,400 spirituality because he's really all 1562 00:55:15,030 --> 00:55:13,760 about science you know and he's all 1563 00:55:17,750 --> 00:55:15,040 about the numbers 1564 00:55:19,109 --> 00:55:17,760 and he said one day he was giving his 1565 00:55:21,589 --> 00:55:19,119 presentation to a 1566 00:55:22,549 --> 00:55:21,599 relatively large group and talking about 1567 00:55:24,870 --> 00:55:22,559 his 1568 00:55:26,549 --> 00:55:24,880 rigorous mathematical model for 1569 00:55:28,069 --> 00:55:26,559 consciousness 1570 00:55:30,870 --> 00:55:28,079 and again this is a this is 1571 00:55:34,549 --> 00:55:30,880 consciousness beyond materialism 1572 00:55:37,990 --> 00:55:34,559 and some guy set up and said yes but dr 1573 00:55:41,589 --> 00:55:38,000 hoffman the only language of 1574 00:55:44,870 --> 00:55:41,599 god is silence 1575 00:55:48,710 --> 00:55:44,880 everything else is ignorance 1576 00:55:52,470 --> 00:55:48,720 and he said okay he said okay 1577 00:55:53,109 --> 00:55:52,480 actually i like that he said i go into 1578 00:55:56,150 --> 00:55:53,119 silence 1579 00:55:59,190 --> 00:55:56,160 every day i'm into meditation and if 1580 00:55:59,670 --> 00:55:59,200 you were to stop there and not say 1581 00:56:02,870 --> 00:55:59,680 anything 1582 00:56:06,069 --> 00:56:02,880 else i could agree with you 1583 00:56:07,270 --> 00:56:06,079 he said but invariably people who say 1584 00:56:10,870 --> 00:56:07,280 those things 1585 00:56:13,109 --> 00:56:10,880 then have a thousand other things to say 1586 00:56:14,630 --> 00:56:13,119 and a thousand books to reference and 1587 00:56:16,549 --> 00:56:14,640 all their great sages 1588 00:56:17,750 --> 00:56:16,559 and they want to bring in all the quotes 1589 00:56:21,270 --> 00:56:17,760 and they want to do 1590 00:56:25,270 --> 00:56:21,280 anything other than be silent 1591 00:56:28,870 --> 00:56:25,280 he said so if we are going to speak 1592 00:56:29,670 --> 00:56:28,880 let's speak with precision now to dr 1593 00:56:33,589 --> 00:56:29,680 hoffman 1594 00:56:35,270 --> 00:56:33,599 that precision means mathematics 1595 00:56:38,230 --> 00:56:35,280 because he believes that mathematical 1596 00:56:39,670 --> 00:56:38,240 models are elegantly precise 1597 00:56:41,190 --> 00:56:39,680 and they are in some ways i don't think 1598 00:56:43,030 --> 00:56:41,200 they can capture everything but i get 1599 00:56:46,870 --> 00:56:43,040 his point 1600 00:56:48,710 --> 00:56:46,880 i want to say that to paul levy i want 1601 00:56:51,990 --> 00:56:48,720 to say that to so many of these 1602 00:56:55,349 --> 00:56:52,000 other jungian you know i'm 1603 00:56:57,910 --> 00:56:55,359 all about the imaginary uh no 1604 00:56:59,030 --> 00:56:57,920 being imaginative and creative in all 1605 00:57:00,870 --> 00:56:59,040 the possibilities 1606 00:57:03,030 --> 00:57:00,880 the limitless possibilities within all 1607 00:57:05,990 --> 00:57:03,040 the realms of consciousness 1608 00:57:07,510 --> 00:57:06,000 but i am going to ask for precision and 1609 00:57:09,430 --> 00:57:07,520 when you're wrong 1610 00:57:10,789 --> 00:57:09,440 you have to be held accountable so if 1611 00:57:14,230 --> 00:57:10,799 you go down the path 1612 00:57:17,270 --> 00:57:14,240 of global warming and that's gaia's 1613 00:57:17,829 --> 00:57:17,280 self-protection mechanism and it kicked 1614 00:57:23,030 --> 00:57:17,839 in 1615 00:57:25,829 --> 00:57:23,040 wrong 1616 00:57:27,109 --> 00:57:25,839 then you got to take it on the chin and 1617 00:57:27,829 --> 00:57:27,119 i'm not saying you craig because you 1618 00:57:29,349 --> 00:57:27,839 didn't do that 1619 00:57:31,270 --> 00:57:29,359 but i'm saying you got to take it on the 1620 00:57:33,349 --> 00:57:31,280 chin you can't keep spinning it 1621 00:57:34,309 --> 00:57:33,359 like maybe it's true maybe it's not same 1622 00:57:35,750 --> 00:57:34,319 thing with covet 1623 00:57:38,710 --> 00:57:35,760 if you want to stick your neck out there 1624 00:57:41,910 --> 00:57:38,720 and say that gaia produced 1625 00:57:44,230 --> 00:57:41,920 a virus that would you know do what it 1626 00:57:47,510 --> 00:57:44,240 has done to the population or whatever 1627 00:57:50,470 --> 00:57:47,520 that's fine but if we later find out 1628 00:57:51,589 --> 00:57:50,480 and prove that it's a pandemic then you 1629 00:57:54,309 --> 00:57:51,599 got to take one on the chin 1630 00:57:55,430 --> 00:57:54,319 you got to step aside and go i was wrong 1631 00:57:58,309 --> 00:57:55,440 you got a course correct 1632 00:57:59,670 --> 00:57:58,319 you got to own your thing again that's 1633 00:58:00,789 --> 00:57:59,680 not directly at you because you didn't 1634 00:58:02,789 --> 00:58:00,799 say any of that stuff but 1635 00:58:03,829 --> 00:58:02,799 i i'm being kind of provocative i know 1636 00:58:07,270 --> 00:58:03,839 i'm poking oh yeah i know 1637 00:58:10,390 --> 00:58:07,280 that that's fine if it was a pandemic 1638 00:58:11,670 --> 00:58:10,400 that still wouldn't mean ultimately uh 1639 00:58:14,150 --> 00:58:11,680 if you drill down deep 1640 00:58:14,950 --> 00:58:14,160 deep enough that it wasn't you know gaia 1641 00:58:17,589 --> 00:58:14,960 because 1642 00:58:19,190 --> 00:58:17,599 we get a guy as there was one right so 1643 00:58:22,950 --> 00:58:19,200 let's so my point is 1644 00:58:25,109 --> 00:58:22,960 take gaia out of it quit saying anything 1645 00:58:27,430 --> 00:58:25,119 about gaia because we can't say anything 1646 00:58:28,390 --> 00:58:27,440 meaningful about gaia we don't know what 1647 00:58:30,470 --> 00:58:28,400 that means 1648 00:58:31,910 --> 00:58:30,480 so take it out of the discussion when 1649 00:58:33,270 --> 00:58:31,920 you as soon as you say well it could be 1650 00:58:36,950 --> 00:58:33,280 or could not be then you can't say 1651 00:58:38,390 --> 00:58:36,960 anything about it so about precision 1652 00:58:41,109 --> 00:58:38,400 then what does that look like because 1653 00:58:44,710 --> 00:58:41,119 that sound that sounds just like science 1654 00:58:45,910 --> 00:58:44,720 um and doesn't leave room for 1655 00:58:48,630 --> 00:58:45,920 anything else because you know there's 1656 00:58:51,190 --> 00:58:48,640 that old adage again you either 1657 00:58:51,829 --> 00:58:51,200 know something or you don't know 1658 00:58:53,109 --> 00:58:51,839 something 1659 00:58:54,870 --> 00:58:53,119 you know there's no question about 1660 00:58:56,470 --> 00:58:54,880 belief and in which case 1661 00:58:58,069 --> 00:58:56,480 we we know nothing really and i know 1662 00:58:59,670 --> 00:58:58,079 that's that's not like that's a bit of a 1663 00:59:00,710 --> 00:58:59,680 cop-out as well but it's just something 1664 00:59:03,109 --> 00:59:00,720 to think about 1665 00:59:04,069 --> 00:59:03,119 so we say what does precision look like 1666 00:59:05,270 --> 00:59:04,079 in different disciplines 1667 00:59:07,349 --> 00:59:05,280 what was it you know we're talking about 1668 00:59:09,430 --> 00:59:07,359 science philosophy and religion and 1669 00:59:11,190 --> 00:59:09,440 different different modes of uh of 1670 00:59:15,270 --> 00:59:11,200 apprehending reality 1671 00:59:18,309 --> 00:59:15,280 so when you say precise um 1672 00:59:20,230 --> 00:59:18,319 you know does that look different in in 1673 00:59:22,069 --> 00:59:20,240 different contexts or is it always more 1674 00:59:24,309 --> 00:59:22,079 or less the same thing 1675 00:59:26,069 --> 00:59:24,319 i think that's an awesomely beautiful 1676 00:59:28,589 --> 00:59:26,079 question 1677 00:59:30,069 --> 00:59:28,599 to donald hoffman precision means 1678 00:59:33,190 --> 00:59:30,079 mathematics 1679 00:59:34,789 --> 00:59:33,200 he's clear about that it doesn't mean 1680 00:59:37,190 --> 00:59:34,799 that to me 1681 00:59:37,910 --> 00:59:37,200 i i i you know we had an interesting 1682 00:59:40,069 --> 00:59:37,920 chat 1683 00:59:41,349 --> 00:59:40,079 both before and after the interview with 1684 00:59:43,990 --> 00:59:41,359 don hoffman said 1685 00:59:48,390 --> 00:59:44,000 how precise is that song that brought 1686 00:59:50,710 --> 00:59:48,400 you to tears it's precise as hell man 1687 00:59:51,990 --> 00:59:50,720 it reached into your heart and brought 1688 00:59:53,829 --> 00:59:52,000 you to 1689 00:59:55,910 --> 00:59:53,839 the depths of your humanness that's 1690 00:59:57,109 --> 00:59:55,920 pretty freaking precise 1691 00:59:59,430 --> 00:59:57,119 doesn't have anything to do with 1692 01:00:01,109 --> 00:59:59,440 mathematics how precise is the 1693 01:00:05,670 --> 01:00:01,119 philosopher that points 1694 01:00:08,549 --> 01:00:05,680 out the logical impossibility 1695 01:00:10,309 --> 01:00:08,559 of nihilism that's pretty [\h__\h] 1696 01:00:13,589 --> 01:00:10,319 precise to me 1697 01:00:15,030 --> 01:00:13,599 so the the point really is just 1698 01:00:17,030 --> 01:00:15,040 there's a lot of different ways to be 1699 01:00:20,630 --> 01:00:17,040 precise but there's 1700 01:00:23,670 --> 01:00:20,640 many many more ways to be imprecise and 1701 01:00:24,549 --> 01:00:23,680 that's what i'm kind of fighting against 1702 01:00:28,470 --> 01:00:24,559 let's let's 1703 01:00:32,150 --> 01:00:28,480 i'm all in it let's engage but let's 1704 01:00:34,069 --> 01:00:32,160 you know be willing to kind of 1705 01:00:35,670 --> 01:00:34,079 kind of go at it a little bit in order 1706 01:00:37,990 --> 01:00:35,680 to get to a little bit of 1707 01:00:39,670 --> 01:00:38,000 precision you know the catchphrase for 1708 01:00:43,670 --> 01:00:39,680 skeptico is 1709 01:00:46,549 --> 01:00:43,680 inquiry to perpetuate doubt 1710 01:00:49,750 --> 01:00:46,559 i think doubt is a very spiritual thing 1711 01:00:51,910 --> 01:00:49,760 i think doubt is what i constantly want 1712 01:00:53,270 --> 01:00:51,920 to move towards because in moving 1713 01:00:56,549 --> 01:00:53,280 towards doubt 1714 01:00:59,589 --> 01:00:56,559 i find myself settling in on things that 1715 01:01:01,430 --> 01:00:59,599 feel more like 1716 01:01:03,190 --> 01:01:01,440 something i would call truth and i know 1717 01:01:06,309 --> 01:01:03,200 there isn't really anything called truth 1718 01:01:10,309 --> 01:01:06,319 but it nudges me in that direction 1719 01:01:11,990 --> 01:01:10,319 and can you have precise doubt 1720 01:01:14,230 --> 01:01:12,000 uh in in all the ways we're talking 1721 01:01:17,910 --> 01:01:14,240 about here right i mean uh 1722 01:01:20,549 --> 01:01:17,920 uh hoffman can precise doubt 1723 01:01:22,069 --> 01:01:20,559 absolutely his math says your your 1724 01:01:23,510 --> 01:01:22,079 equation doesn't work 1725 01:01:25,190 --> 01:01:23,520 the left side doesn't equal the right 1726 01:01:28,230 --> 01:01:25,200 size i doubt it 1727 01:01:28,950 --> 01:01:28,240 right a mathematician doubts all the 1728 01:01:31,829 --> 01:01:28,960 time 1729 01:01:33,190 --> 01:01:31,839 a a a good philosopher will present a 1730 01:01:35,510 --> 01:01:33,200 logical argument 1731 01:01:37,829 --> 01:01:35,520 that is all about doubt we'll say i 1732 01:01:39,349 --> 01:01:37,839 doubt your conclusion because you're 1733 01:01:43,430 --> 01:01:39,359 what do they say the antecedent present 1734 01:01:50,710 --> 01:01:46,710 so precision isn't um like a 1735 01:01:52,309 --> 01:01:50,720 sort of doesn't demand certainty 1736 01:01:53,750 --> 01:01:52,319 because what is that what i was saying 1737 01:01:55,990 --> 01:01:53,760 earlier about knowing 1738 01:01:57,670 --> 01:01:56,000 not knowledge and belief the gap between 1739 01:01:59,190 --> 01:01:57,680 the two 1740 01:02:00,789 --> 01:01:59,200 because what can we be certain about 1741 01:02:01,829 --> 01:02:00,799 otherwise what if we can be certain 1742 01:02:04,950 --> 01:02:01,839 about things and what 1743 01:02:09,029 --> 01:02:04,960 are you and i doing yeah i think 1744 01:02:12,309 --> 01:02:11,589 i don't think it's our lot certainty 1745 01:02:15,430 --> 01:02:12,319 really 1746 01:02:18,870 --> 01:02:15,440 not a lot i like i well put 1747 01:02:20,390 --> 01:02:18,880 yes when when you know one of the things 1748 01:02:22,069 --> 01:02:20,400 one of the areas of science that's 1749 01:02:23,430 --> 01:02:22,079 driven me is the near-death experience 1750 01:02:24,950 --> 01:02:23,440 science and we both just interviewed 1751 01:02:26,150 --> 01:02:24,960 david ditchfield that's another one we 1752 01:02:28,549 --> 01:02:26,160 could talk about 1753 01:02:30,630 --> 01:02:28,559 what that what we took away from that 1754 01:02:32,309 --> 01:02:30,640 who had a near-death experience 1755 01:02:34,710 --> 01:02:32,319 goddess i always liked his story how he 1756 01:02:37,270 --> 01:02:34,720 got his jacket caught on the train 1757 01:02:39,270 --> 01:02:37,280 as he was kissing his girlfriend goodbye 1758 01:02:39,910 --> 01:02:39,280 it's like is that the ultimate fear that 1759 01:02:41,750 --> 01:02:39,920 we all 1760 01:02:43,109 --> 01:02:41,760 have you know being dragged under the 1761 01:02:45,910 --> 01:02:43,119 train but 1762 01:02:48,950 --> 01:02:45,920 the near-death experiencers and other 1763 01:02:51,109 --> 01:02:48,960 people in this extended realm 1764 01:02:52,309 --> 01:02:51,119 what i don't know about you greg but 1765 01:02:55,750 --> 01:02:52,319 what they have told me 1766 01:02:57,510 --> 01:02:55,760 is that is a state of no doubt but it's 1767 01:03:00,069 --> 01:02:57,520 completely different 1768 01:03:00,870 --> 01:03:00,079 than the space the headspace that we're 1769 01:03:02,950 --> 01:03:00,880 in here 1770 01:03:05,510 --> 01:03:02,960 and a lot of times when they come back 1771 01:03:08,870 --> 01:03:05,520 they then are in this fog again 1772 01:03:12,069 --> 01:03:08,880 where it doesn't quite sync up 1773 01:03:15,109 --> 01:03:12,079 but when they were there in the light 1774 01:03:17,430 --> 01:03:15,119 in the love they had no 1775 01:03:19,349 --> 01:03:17,440 doubt but and that's where i take what 1776 01:03:21,829 --> 01:03:19,359 you said it's not our lot 1777 01:03:23,109 --> 01:03:21,839 it's not our lot in this existence to 1778 01:03:25,589 --> 01:03:23,119 have no doubt 1779 01:03:27,029 --> 01:03:25,599 and be you know functioning at the 1780 01:03:30,549 --> 01:03:27,039 highest level functioning at the highest 1781 01:03:33,029 --> 01:03:30,559 level i think down here is having doubt 1782 01:03:33,829 --> 01:03:33,039 well i love that point you just made 1783 01:03:36,630 --> 01:03:33,839 having 1784 01:03:37,109 --> 01:03:36,640 that certainty experienced by people 1785 01:03:38,950 --> 01:03:37,119 like 1786 01:03:40,870 --> 01:03:38,960 david you know near death experiences or 1787 01:03:41,910 --> 01:03:40,880 as i might just call it a death 1788 01:03:45,510 --> 01:03:41,920 experience 1789 01:03:45,990 --> 01:03:45,520 and they if they come back to the place 1790 01:03:47,910 --> 01:03:46,000 we 1791 01:03:49,510 --> 01:03:47,920 find ourselves sharing at the minute 1792 01:03:51,349 --> 01:03:49,520 they bring some of that 1793 01:03:53,510 --> 01:03:51,359 certainty with them and then it begins 1794 01:03:54,870 --> 01:03:53,520 to become on the doubt creeps and again 1795 01:03:55,829 --> 01:03:54,880 becomes a bit uncertain but they still 1796 01:03:57,670 --> 01:03:55,839 have to do 1797 01:03:59,270 --> 01:03:57,680 the spark of that certainty and that's 1798 01:04:00,309 --> 01:03:59,280 what motivates people quite often to 1799 01:04:03,270 --> 01:04:00,319 change 1800 01:04:04,470 --> 01:04:03,280 how they engage with with this reality i 1801 01:04:06,230 --> 01:04:04,480 think given the point we've 1802 01:04:07,990 --> 01:04:06,240 talked ourselves to today it might be a 1803 01:04:09,510 --> 01:04:08,000 good point to break off 1804 01:04:12,150 --> 01:04:09,520 i really hope we can pick this up in the 1805 01:04:14,950 --> 01:04:12,160 near future not least of which because i 1806 01:04:15,670 --> 01:04:14,960 want to get into the concept and the 1807 01:04:18,150 --> 01:04:15,680 reality of 1808 01:04:19,190 --> 01:04:18,160 evil what your aforementioned book 1809 01:04:21,910 --> 01:04:19,200 brings together 1810 01:04:24,309 --> 01:04:21,920 through the the lens of many of your 1811 01:04:26,230 --> 01:04:24,319 guests i want to talk about 1812 01:04:27,910 --> 01:04:26,240 the system being gamed i want to talk 1813 01:04:29,510 --> 01:04:27,920 about things being rigged about being 1814 01:04:31,029 --> 01:04:29,520 skewed and twisted in certain 1815 01:04:32,549 --> 01:04:31,039 certain direction i want to talk about 1816 01:04:35,589 --> 01:04:32,559 our attention being 1817 01:04:37,349 --> 01:04:35,599 drawn away elsewhere look don't look at 1818 01:04:40,470 --> 01:04:37,359 that look over here i want to talk 1819 01:04:43,589 --> 01:04:40,480 about agendas so 1820 01:04:45,270 --> 01:04:43,599 um yeah if you're happy to leave it at 1821 01:04:48,150 --> 01:04:45,280 that for today i hope we can 1822 01:04:49,190 --> 01:04:48,160 pick it up again in the future um if you 1823 01:04:50,549 --> 01:04:49,200 are 1824 01:04:52,710 --> 01:04:50,559 give us have you got any closing 1825 01:04:55,029 --> 01:04:52,720 thoughts otherwise 1826 01:04:56,710 --> 01:04:55,039 tell listeners about your website where 1827 01:04:58,230 --> 01:04:56,720 they can get the book anything else they 1828 01:05:00,950 --> 01:04:58,240 need to know 1829 01:05:02,710 --> 01:05:00,960 well i definitely am super excited about 1830 01:05:03,270 --> 01:05:02,720 continuing the dialogue i like how you 1831 01:05:05,750 --> 01:05:03,280 teed up 1832 01:05:07,750 --> 01:05:05,760 part two so we'll kind of leave it there 1833 01:05:08,309 --> 01:05:07,760 me skeptical just have to spell it with 1834 01:05:10,470 --> 01:05:08,319 a ko 1835 01:05:12,549 --> 01:05:10,480 on the end and you'll find all my good 1836 01:05:16,309 --> 01:05:12,559 stuff thanks a lot for doing this 1837 01:05:18,870 --> 01:05:16,319 and i i really like uh where we came to 1838 01:05:20,710 --> 01:05:18,880 on a couple of places there and 1839 01:05:22,710 --> 01:05:20,720 i like that we don't have to agree but i 1840 01:05:24,870 --> 01:05:22,720 feel like we're moving towards a space 1841 01:05:28,150 --> 01:05:24,880 here that is really 1842 01:05:29,270 -->
