1 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:08,770 thank you this talk is going to be 2 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:14,210 unusual in a couple of ways one is it's 3 00:00:19,750 --> 00:00:16,730 unusual for the SSE irva group because 4 00:00:21,850 --> 00:00:19,760 I'm proposing a technology and the 5 00:00:26,409 --> 00:00:21,860 second reason that it's somewhat unusual 6 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:26,419 is that I'm wearing a tie so I will try 7 00:00:32,470 --> 00:00:29,810 to be a little bit formal before we get 8 00:00:35,410 --> 00:00:32,480 into the technology let's talk about the 9 00:00:38,770 --> 00:00:35,420 definition of psychotics so Saibot --ax 10 00:00:41,979 --> 00:00:38,780 is the branch of technology that deals 11 00:00:45,610 --> 00:00:41,989 with robots driven by SCI mediated 12 00:00:50,110 --> 00:00:45,620 intention so their physical systems 13 00:00:53,590 --> 00:00:50,120 driven by SCI this definition in the 14 00:00:55,119 --> 00:00:53,600 Oxford English Dictionary is fine except 15 00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:55,129 that it's probably only going to come 16 00:01:01,000 --> 00:00:58,010 out in a few years we invented this word 17 00:01:02,739 --> 00:01:01,010 I was talking with my class on the 18 00:01:04,630 --> 00:01:02,749 science of psychic phenomena this last 19 00:01:07,390 --> 00:01:04,640 semester at the University of Colorado 20 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:07,400 and described this and one of the 21 00:01:13,090 --> 00:01:10,610 students David Myers suggested the word 22 00:01:16,180 --> 00:01:13,100 cybot expand it's stuck and so that's 23 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:16,190 what this is so what I'd like to do 24 00:01:23,370 --> 00:01:19,730 today is talk a little bit about the 25 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:23,380 basis of cybot X what it is how it works 26 00:01:30,250 --> 00:01:27,130 it's based upon psychokinesis and 27 00:01:35,110 --> 00:01:30,260 psychokinesis as you all know involves 28 00:01:38,140 --> 00:01:35,120 the micro manipulator Nice's let me say 29 00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:38,150 involves the manipulation at a quantum 30 00:01:45,580 --> 00:01:42,070 level of randomness using intention and 31 00:01:48,610 --> 00:01:45,590 this can be carried out in a number of 32 00:01:50,260 --> 00:01:48,620 different ways and has been demonstrated 33 00:01:53,260 --> 00:01:50,270 over and over I'm only going to talk 34 00:01:56,740 --> 00:01:53,270 about two ways very briefly one is with 35 00:01:59,460 --> 00:01:56,750 the use of dice and so all sorts of 36 00:02:02,500 --> 00:01:59,470 experiments have been carried out using 37 00:02:07,169 --> 00:02:02,510 the effect of intention on dice throws 38 00:02:10,930 --> 00:02:07,179 and one meta-analysis was carried out in 39 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:10,940 1991 by Raiden and Ferrari and they 40 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:13,370 showed that with a hundred and forty 41 00:02:16,770 --> 00:02:15,530 eight studies involving more than two 42 00:02:20,110 --> 00:02:16,780 million dice 43 00:02:22,809 --> 00:02:20,120 the statistics were overwhelming the 44 00:02:24,250 --> 00:02:22,819 z-score was close to 20 so that's a 45 00:02:29,020 --> 00:02:24,260 measure of how many standard deviations 46 00:02:30,190 --> 00:02:29,030 away from nothing you the effect is so 47 00:02:33,210 --> 00:02:30,200 it's a huge effect 48 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:33,220 the p value corresponds to far less than 49 00:02:38,559 --> 00:02:36,890 point zero zero one and so it's it's 50 00:02:41,250 --> 00:02:38,569 infinitesimal the odds against chance 51 00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:41,260 are huge that this is a real effect 52 00:02:47,410 --> 00:02:45,049 another example involving psychokinesis 53 00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:47,420 involves using electronic random number 54 00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:51,110 generators so these were developed for 55 00:02:57,309 --> 00:02:54,560 size phenomena in the 70s and 80s by 56 00:02:59,500 --> 00:02:57,319 Helmut Schmidt and the original random 57 00:03:02,710 --> 00:02:59,510 number generators involved atomic decay 58 00:03:05,319 --> 00:03:02,720 and this produced then a randomness 59 00:03:07,830 --> 00:03:05,329 which was translated into zeros and ones 60 00:03:12,729 --> 00:03:07,840 so bits which were randomly distributed 61 00:03:15,580 --> 00:03:12,739 the biggest study of these electronic 62 00:03:17,979 --> 00:03:15,590 random number generators and how they 63 00:03:20,620 --> 00:03:17,989 can be manipulated was carried out in 64 00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:20,630 the pair lab directed by Bob John as 65 00:03:28,449 --> 00:03:22,310 described by York a little bit earlier 66 00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:28,459 and they published in 1997 the results 67 00:03:33,580 --> 00:03:30,650 of a thousand experimental series 68 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:33,590 carried out over 12 years in which they 69 00:03:41,020 --> 00:03:37,850 got huge odds against chance P on the 70 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:41,030 order of 10 to the minus 13 the plot 71 00:03:48,099 --> 00:03:44,410 that I'm showing here is a plot of the 72 00:03:52,660 --> 00:03:48,109 on the on the vertical axis it shows how 73 00:03:55,539 --> 00:03:52,670 many bits you deviate from chance from 74 00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:55,549 randomness and the horizontal axis is in 75 00:04:02,379 --> 00:03:58,690 thousands of trials and so when the 76 00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:02,389 operators aimed high they ended up going 77 00:04:06,940 --> 00:04:04,310 towards the high level at the high line 78 00:04:08,740 --> 00:04:06,950 when the operators aimed low they went 79 00:04:10,870 --> 00:04:08,750 towards the low line and then the base 80 00:04:15,940 --> 00:04:10,880 line was somewhere in between so this is 81 00:04:19,259 --> 00:04:15,950 another example of psychokinesis 82 00:04:22,690 --> 00:04:19,269 so all right we've got these 83 00:04:24,540 --> 00:04:22,700 psychokinesis effects we're proposing a 84 00:04:28,219 --> 00:04:24,550 technology to 85 00:04:30,749 --> 00:04:28,229 use them to make some sort of 86 00:04:34,020 --> 00:04:30,759 instruments some robots that can be used 87 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:34,030 physical systems so the question is when 88 00:04:40,050 --> 00:04:36,970 can we do this when when will we be able 89 00:04:42,089 --> 00:04:40,060 to know that this actually works the 90 00:04:44,369 --> 00:04:42,099 answer perhaps surprisingly is that it 91 00:04:46,439 --> 00:04:44,379 already exists that there already are 92 00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:46,449 quite a few cybot existence that have 93 00:04:52,529 --> 00:04:49,840 been demonstrated so for most of this 94 00:04:55,170 --> 00:04:52,539 talk what I'd like to do is describe to 95 00:04:57,689 --> 00:04:55,180 you what those cybot exist UM's are how 96 00:05:00,029 --> 00:04:57,699 they work and then at the end we can 97 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:00,039 together perhaps discuss how we might 98 00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:03,250 make new cybot existence for practical 99 00:05:13,189 --> 00:05:06,880 applications before I do that I want to 100 00:05:18,510 --> 00:05:13,199 make a distinction between cybot X and 101 00:05:21,420 --> 00:05:18,520 another system and that is using brain 102 00:05:27,420 --> 00:05:21,430 waves so we are not here using brain 103 00:05:30,629 --> 00:05:27,430 waves to to detect systems instead we 104 00:05:32,730 --> 00:05:30,639 are actually using Sai to detect systems 105 00:05:37,339 --> 00:05:32,740 so that's shown in in this slide here 106 00:05:40,850 --> 00:05:37,349 you can buy for example at a game store 107 00:05:44,219 --> 00:05:40,860 mindflex games in which you use your 108 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:44,229 mind to control a board a ball on a game 109 00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:46,330 on a board that's not what we're doing 110 00:05:51,330 --> 00:05:48,400 here we're using a different medium 111 00:05:55,290 --> 00:05:51,340 altogether so there were some early 112 00:05:59,059 --> 00:05:55,300 cybot examples one was called the TAC 113 00:06:02,519 --> 00:05:59,069 Tyco scope and this was published in 114 00:06:04,999 --> 00:06:02,529 1986 the basic idea here is it's a 115 00:06:07,350 --> 00:06:05,009 little motor driven robot run by 116 00:06:10,409 --> 00:06:07,360 directed by an electronic random number 117 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:10,419 generator with a pen in it and as the 118 00:06:15,059 --> 00:06:12,849 thing moved around the pen drew on the 119 00:06:19,230 --> 00:06:15,069 paper and they showed statistically 120 00:06:21,180 --> 00:06:19,240 significant effects in 1995 a paper was 121 00:06:23,070 --> 00:06:21,190 published on the psychokinetic action of 122 00:06:25,890 --> 00:06:23,080 young chicks on the path of an 123 00:06:28,830 --> 00:06:25,900 illuminated source that's just shown in 124 00:06:32,939 --> 00:06:28,840 the picture here little chicks were put 125 00:06:35,890 --> 00:06:32,949 into a cage and they were then put into 126 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:35,900 a darkened room with a little robot 127 00:06:42,909 --> 00:06:37,250 robot was a random number generator 128 00:06:45,249 --> 00:06:42,919 driven robot with a candle in it and the 129 00:06:48,189 --> 00:06:45,259 chicks wanted the warmth and the light 130 00:06:51,430 --> 00:06:48,199 of from the candle presumably and they 131 00:06:55,029 --> 00:06:51,440 were statistically significantly able to 132 00:06:58,960 --> 00:06:55,039 direct the machine to move towards them 133 00:07:00,969 --> 00:06:58,970 in 1986 there was some work done using a 134 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:00,979 six axis random number generator 135 00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:04,370 computer-controlled robotic arm and hand 136 00:07:09,909 --> 00:07:06,889 that particular study showed no 137 00:07:12,310 --> 00:07:09,919 statistically significant results okay 138 00:07:13,750 --> 00:07:12,320 so now let's get on to some examples 139 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:13,760 that I'm going to describe in some more 140 00:07:19,180 --> 00:07:15,770 detail and these are more current 141 00:07:22,330 --> 00:07:19,190 examples one was carried out at the pear 142 00:07:25,180 --> 00:07:22,340 lab and published in 2007 and this was 143 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:25,190 the response of a random event generator 144 00:07:31,180 --> 00:07:28,130 an R eg driven robot to operate her 145 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:31,190 intention by the way an R eg and an r ng 146 00:07:35,950 --> 00:07:33,770 are the same thing the pear lab called 147 00:07:38,589 --> 00:07:35,960 these random event generators rather 148 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:38,599 than random number generators the basic 149 00:07:47,350 --> 00:07:43,090 idea is having again a little RNG driven 150 00:07:49,750 --> 00:07:47,360 random robot and the direction that the 151 00:07:52,620 --> 00:07:49,760 robot moved was determined by the output 152 00:07:55,570 --> 00:07:52,630 of the random number generator an 153 00:07:58,719 --> 00:07:55,580 operator sat on the side as shown in the 154 00:08:02,140 --> 00:07:58,729 picture and looked down at this little 155 00:08:05,140 --> 00:08:02,150 robot with a frog pasted it to the top 156 00:08:07,930 --> 00:08:05,150 of it and the Frog started in the middle 157 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:07,940 and the rent of the operator using 158 00:08:12,310 --> 00:08:09,770 intention tried to get the frog to move 159 00:08:14,830 --> 00:08:12,320 towards him or her and you can see in 160 00:08:18,129 --> 00:08:14,840 this chart on the bottom right that in 161 00:08:20,469 --> 00:08:18,139 fact once if the Frog starts in the 162 00:08:23,409 --> 00:08:20,479 middle it wanders around a bit but 163 00:08:26,170 --> 00:08:23,419 eventually it might move towards the the 164 00:08:27,550 --> 00:08:26,180 operator and various studies were 165 00:08:30,010 --> 00:08:27,560 carried out and statistically 166 00:08:31,330 --> 00:08:30,020 significant results were obtained it may 167 00:08:35,050 --> 00:08:31,340 not be the best way to get a robot 168 00:08:37,540 --> 00:08:35,060 towards you but it works another example 169 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:37,550 is the Sylar on mind lamp so Sylar on is 170 00:08:42,370 --> 00:08:39,050 a company formed out of pear Lab 171 00:08:45,510 --> 00:08:42,380 technology and they built a number of 172 00:08:48,810 --> 00:08:45,520 instruments for using in 173 00:08:51,090 --> 00:08:48,820 and one of them involves having an 174 00:08:54,030 --> 00:08:51,100 electronic random number generator that 175 00:08:57,180 --> 00:08:54,040 determines the color of a lamp these are 176 00:08:59,160 --> 00:08:57,190 it has multiple LEDs in it I have one of 177 00:09:02,160 --> 00:08:59,170 these in my office and it's a lot of fun 178 00:09:03,900 --> 00:09:02,170 to play with after a fair bit of 179 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:03,910 practice we've developed a technique to 180 00:09:07,740 --> 00:09:05,890 pretty reliably get the color that we 181 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:07,750 want and you can imagine my kids 182 00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:10,090 whenever they visit before they come 183 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:11,680 into the office they compete with each 184 00:09:18,140 --> 00:09:14,050 other to decide what color it's going to 185 00:09:21,150 --> 00:09:18,150 be this time and they're often right 186 00:09:24,690 --> 00:09:21,160 alright so now I want to get on to a 187 00:09:26,670 --> 00:09:24,700 fairly controversial cybot existen and 188 00:09:29,370 --> 00:09:26,680 I'm going to argue that this is in fact 189 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:29,380 a Saibot exsist 'm and that is the 190 00:09:32,970 --> 00:09:31,330 global consciousness project you're 191 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:32,980 probably all familiar with it it 192 00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:35,730 consists of random number generators 193 00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:38,110 distributed around the world this 194 00:09:44,460 --> 00:09:41,710 madness shows a map with the locations 195 00:09:49,650 --> 00:09:44,470 of these random number generators called 196 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:49,660 eggs and these eggs send the data to a 197 00:09:54,690 --> 00:09:51,970 lab in Princeton which collects the data 198 00:09:57,210 --> 00:09:54,700 and looks for some sort of a coherence 199 00:10:01,740 --> 00:09:57,220 in the data for deviation from 200 00:10:04,860 --> 00:10:01,750 randomness among the various egg samples 201 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:04,870 that are being sent a egg egg the data 202 00:10:10,740 --> 00:10:08,050 from the various eggs and this has been 203 00:10:15,950 --> 00:10:10,750 carried out over many years the data is 204 00:10:20,490 --> 00:10:15,960 very robust and a number of startling 205 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:20,500 successes have been shown here is our 206 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:23,410 three examples on the top left I show 207 00:10:31,740 --> 00:10:28,090 the 911 terrorist bombing the blue line 208 00:10:33,930 --> 00:10:31,750 shows a statistically significant result 209 00:10:36,810 --> 00:10:33,940 and what it would be the red line shows 210 00:10:39,090 --> 00:10:36,820 the actual data from the global 211 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:39,100 consciousness project and this is as a 212 00:10:53,150 --> 00:10:43,890 function of time in this case days and 213 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:53,160 or was this hours and the red line shows 214 00:11:03,830 --> 00:10:57,450 that in the time before the 215 00:11:07,330 --> 00:11:03,840 or around the 911 bombing the data 216 00:11:10,060 --> 00:11:07,340 deviated statistically significantly 217 00:11:14,510 --> 00:11:10,070 another example is on the top right 218 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:14,520 where Obama wins the nomination in June 219 00:11:22,870 --> 00:11:18,650 3rd 2008 and once again around the time 220 00:11:26,330 --> 00:11:22,880 in this case plotted in hours of the 221 00:11:29,870 --> 00:11:26,340 nomination there was a significant 222 00:11:33,980 --> 00:11:29,880 deviation from randomness among the eggs 223 00:11:36,020 --> 00:11:33,990 and the data showed yes there was 224 00:11:38,900 --> 00:11:36,030 something this has been carried out 225 00:11:41,060 --> 00:11:38,910 through today at the bottom there's a 226 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:41,070 more recent example the women's march on 227 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:44,970 Washington in January 21st 2017 which 228 00:11:50,450 --> 00:11:46,530 was a significant event in the United 229 00:11:54,430 --> 00:11:50,460 States and around that period of time 230 00:11:57,830 --> 00:11:54,440 once again the random number generator 231 00:12:01,090 --> 00:11:57,840 results from around the world showed a 232 00:12:03,620 --> 00:12:01,100 significant deviation from randomness 233 00:12:06,260 --> 00:12:03,630 I'm not getting going to get into the 234 00:12:08,540 --> 00:12:06,270 details on all of this the data is 235 00:12:13,850 --> 00:12:08,550 robust it's available for anybody to 236 00:12:15,620 --> 00:12:13,860 look at the and it's it's I'm not going 237 00:12:17,660 --> 00:12:15,630 to argue with the quality about it it's 238 00:12:19,940 --> 00:12:17,670 very it's a very high quality experiment 239 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:19,950 however there are some issues with it 240 00:12:26,330 --> 00:12:22,530 and in fact there have been some fairly 241 00:12:29,030 --> 00:12:26,340 strong arguments that in this is not a 242 00:12:33,110 --> 00:12:29,040 global consciousness effect but rather 243 00:12:35,750 --> 00:12:33,120 it's something very different in 2009 244 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:35,760 Helmut Schmidt wrote a letter to the 245 00:12:39,650 --> 00:12:37,650 Journal of scientific exploration and 246 00:12:41,570 --> 00:12:39,660 this is the same Helmut Schmidt who 247 00:12:44,780 --> 00:12:41,580 developed the electronic random number 248 00:12:46,970 --> 00:12:44,790 generator for psy experiments and he 249 00:12:48,950 --> 00:12:46,980 said that the way that the outputs of 250 00:12:50,540 --> 00:12:48,960 these random number generators from 251 00:12:54,230 --> 00:12:50,550 around the world are combined is 252 00:12:57,050 --> 00:12:54,240 arbitrary that in fact one might change 253 00:12:59,240 --> 00:12:57,060 the phase or the way that they're added 254 00:13:01,820 --> 00:12:59,250 or subtracted together and that 255 00:13:03,830 --> 00:13:01,830 therefore the fact that you get some 256 00:13:06,380 --> 00:13:03,840 sort of a statistically significant 257 00:13:08,290 --> 00:13:06,390 effect must be due to something besides 258 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:08,300 the 259 00:13:12,410 --> 00:13:09,890 [Music] 260 00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:12,420 harmony or harmonization of different 261 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:15,570 intentions around the world he said it's 262 00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:18,450 a classical goal-oriented effect and 263 00:13:22,730 --> 00:13:20,910 that the person who's directing the 264 00:13:26,540 --> 00:13:22,740 elect the global consciousness project 265 00:13:28,580 --> 00:13:26,550 Roger Nelson is due to his intention so 266 00:13:31,460 --> 00:13:28,590 this is a typical experimenter effect 267 00:13:33,650 --> 00:13:31,470 according to Helmut Schmidt's letter and 268 00:13:35,780 --> 00:13:33,660 there was argument back and forth again 269 00:13:39,890 --> 00:13:35,790 I'm not going to go into detail on what 270 00:13:42,860 --> 00:13:39,900 on the specific arguments another case 271 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:42,870 occurred with Peter Mansell so Peter 272 00:13:46,940 --> 00:13:45,330 Mansell was a collaborator of Roger 273 00:13:48,620 --> 00:13:46,950 Nelson's for a number of years in 274 00:13:50,870 --> 00:13:48,630 helping with the statistics and so on 275 00:13:52,390 --> 00:13:50,880 and in the last couple of years he's 276 00:13:56,570 --> 00:13:52,400 come out with a couple of publications 277 00:14:03,440 --> 00:13:56,580 highly critical of the logic behind it 278 00:14:07,220 --> 00:14:03,450 and in in order I'll go through what it 279 00:14:08,660 --> 00:14:07,230 was he said in in short form so the way 280 00:14:11,420 --> 00:14:08,670 these electronic random number 281 00:14:13,970 --> 00:14:11,430 generators work is they produce the 282 00:14:17,930 --> 00:14:13,980 source which may be an electronic source 283 00:14:20,900 --> 00:14:17,940 consisting of reverse-biased transistors 284 00:14:24,079 --> 00:14:20,910 or something produce blips at random 285 00:14:26,090 --> 00:14:24,089 times but in order to make sure that the 286 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:26,100 output is balanced that you get an equal 287 00:14:31,630 --> 00:14:28,770 number of zeros and ones typically this 288 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:31,640 output is X Ord so that's a logical 289 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:34,530 process a logical gate in which you mix 290 00:14:41,150 --> 00:14:37,890 the signal with the output of a square 291 00:14:43,940 --> 00:14:41,160 wave generator and that produces an 292 00:14:46,910 --> 00:14:43,950 equal number of zeros and ones but the 293 00:14:49,329 --> 00:14:46,920 point here is that the product is no 294 00:14:51,260 --> 00:14:49,339 longer the pure randomness of the source 295 00:14:53,510 --> 00:14:51,270 instead the product is now a 296 00:14:56,510 --> 00:14:53,520 manufactured product it's a manipulated 297 00:14:58,220 --> 00:14:56,520 product and so Peter said there's 298 00:15:00,560 --> 00:14:58,230 something wrong here it's it's it's 299 00:15:02,450 --> 00:15:00,570 being manipulated we're not getting pure 300 00:15:05,030 --> 00:15:02,460 randomness so there's got to be some 301 00:15:08,270 --> 00:15:05,040 intention involved in in how this is 302 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:08,280 working out another issue he raised had 303 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:10,770 to do with synchronization there's a 304 00:15:15,170 --> 00:15:13,410 time stamp for each of these data 305 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:15,180 streams that comes from around the world 306 00:15:21,410 --> 00:15:18,690 and Peter said the time stamp doesn't 307 00:15:23,269 --> 00:15:21,420 have sufficient resolution to give you 308 00:15:26,569 --> 00:15:23,279 the sort of coherence effects 309 00:15:29,210 --> 00:15:26,579 that you observe so the point then is 310 00:15:30,980 --> 00:15:29,220 what is happening is it global 311 00:15:32,689 --> 00:15:30,990 consciousness well there are some 312 00:15:35,030 --> 00:15:32,699 contradictions to whether it's global 313 00:15:37,550 --> 00:15:35,040 consciousness is it an experimenter 314 00:15:39,530 --> 00:15:37,560 effect in which Roger Nelson is 315 00:15:41,509 --> 00:15:39,540 completely driving this thing that's 316 00:15:44,090 --> 00:15:41,519 been the argument I would argue 317 00:15:47,210 --> 00:15:44,100 something different and my argument is 318 00:15:50,269 --> 00:15:47,220 that it's both that it is in fact global 319 00:15:53,509 --> 00:15:50,279 consciousness but the system is mentally 320 00:15:56,989 --> 00:15:53,519 programmed by Roger Nelson and that's 321 00:16:00,290 --> 00:15:56,999 classic saibot --ax hard to say classic 322 00:16:02,389 --> 00:16:00,300 since we just invented it but it's 323 00:16:04,939 --> 00:16:02,399 classic cybot axilla sense that it's a 324 00:16:08,269 --> 00:16:04,949 mixture of a physical system with a 325 00:16:10,489 --> 00:16:08,279 random source and experimenter intention 326 00:16:12,980 --> 00:16:10,499 or user intention and so this 327 00:16:15,860 --> 00:16:12,990 combination is what gives you sigh 328 00:16:19,460 --> 00:16:15,870 bollocks ok let's go on to another 329 00:16:21,079 --> 00:16:19,470 example in 2006 I was minding my own 330 00:16:23,809 --> 00:16:21,089 business in my office and I was 331 00:16:26,809 --> 00:16:23,819 contacted by a person who had been 332 00:16:29,869 --> 00:16:26,819 selling some instruments for detection 333 00:16:32,119 --> 00:16:29,879 of contraband in Singapore and in Korea 334 00:16:34,460 --> 00:16:32,129 and he wanted to sell them in the United 335 00:16:36,829 --> 00:16:34,470 States to the military but he needed to 336 00:16:39,079 --> 00:16:36,839 know the mechanism of action in order to 337 00:16:40,850 --> 00:16:39,089 sell it to the military so he came to me 338 00:16:43,129 --> 00:16:40,860 I'm in in the engineering school at the 339 00:16:44,509 --> 00:16:43,139 University of Colorado and he said ok 340 00:16:47,509 --> 00:16:44,519 just figure out how this works so we 341 00:16:49,990 --> 00:16:47,519 know how we can tell the military and I 342 00:16:54,829 --> 00:16:50,000 show you here the thing it consists of a 343 00:16:58,069 --> 00:16:54,839 hand-holder with a a antenna pivot that 344 00:17:00,079 --> 00:16:58,079 pivots around connected by a BNC cable 345 00:17:02,210 --> 00:17:00,089 to a box that contains the essence of 346 00:17:07,340 --> 00:17:02,220 the substance to be looked at and he 347 00:17:12,110 --> 00:17:07,350 includes ivory or THC or explosives and 348 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:12,120 so on and the thing works I used it I 349 00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:14,970 found things in my house I techie 350 00:17:19,909 --> 00:17:17,130 trained a technician in my lab who got 351 00:17:22,130 --> 00:17:19,919 to be quite good at using this thing and 352 00:17:25,850 --> 00:17:22,140 it worked quite well you can see me 353 00:17:27,860 --> 00:17:25,860 standing there below holding it but I 354 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:27,870 looked at this for about one minute and 355 00:17:31,610 --> 00:17:29,490 I realized this is not an 356 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:31,620 electromagnetic wave detector as he 357 00:17:36,230 --> 00:17:33,690 thought it was and I said go home and 358 00:17:38,180 --> 00:17:36,240 try it with a non-conducting antenna 359 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:38,190 it'll work just as well and so that 360 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:40,770 evening he tried it with a plexiglass 361 00:17:46,610 --> 00:17:42,450 antenna and he said it worked just as 362 00:17:49,130 --> 00:17:46,620 well and was very surprised so he had a 363 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:49,140 very well worked out process for this 364 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:52,250 and how to make it work we designed a 365 00:17:58,310 --> 00:17:56,730 strongly a triple blinded study to check 366 00:18:01,460 --> 00:17:58,320 the effect and make sure that it worked 367 00:18:05,330 --> 00:18:01,470 and carried it out in a field in in 368 00:18:08,150 --> 00:18:05,340 Boulder Colorado and he was the person 369 00:18:10,430 --> 00:18:08,160 operating the system it failed 370 00:18:13,970 --> 00:18:10,440 not only did he not was he not able to 371 00:18:16,940 --> 00:18:13,980 find the objects that were hidden but he 372 00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:16,950 he statistically significantly missed 373 00:18:23,690 --> 00:18:21,360 them and got the wrong locations and he 374 00:18:27,140 --> 00:18:23,700 was absolutely devastated by this effect 375 00:18:29,710 --> 00:18:27,150 and he went back home and I never heard 376 00:18:33,230 --> 00:18:29,720 from him again he stopped selling these 377 00:18:35,990 --> 00:18:33,240 so that was fine and dandy that was 2006 378 00:18:38,630 --> 00:18:36,000 then in 2009 I was reading the New York 379 00:18:41,419 --> 00:18:38,640 Times and saw an article that says Iraq 380 00:18:43,460 --> 00:18:41,429 swears by bomb detector USC's is useless 381 00:18:47,150 --> 00:18:43,470 and I looked at the picture and said hmm 382 00:18:49,940 --> 00:18:47,160 I know that thing and it turns out it 383 00:18:54,620 --> 00:18:49,950 was the same thing this was being built 384 00:18:57,020 --> 00:18:54,630 by a guy in the UK James McCormick as a 385 00:18:59,299 --> 00:18:57,030 bomb detection device he was selling 386 00:19:01,700 --> 00:18:59,309 them for between 15 and 60 thousand 387 00:19:03,910 --> 00:19:01,710 dollars each which is about a thousand 388 00:19:06,470 --> 00:19:03,920 times more than it costs to build and 389 00:19:08,090 --> 00:19:06,480 the Iraqis were using it and getting 390 00:19:10,340 --> 00:19:08,100 quite good results with it they were 391 00:19:12,140 --> 00:19:10,350 quite happy with it but then the US 392 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:12,150 military came in and said this cannot 393 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:15,690 work and that was terrible the Iraqi 394 00:19:22,090 --> 00:19:17,970 government spent 52 million pounds 395 00:19:26,049 --> 00:19:22,100 buying these things a few years later 396 00:19:29,030 --> 00:19:26,059 2013 I got I was contacted by the UK 397 00:19:31,010 --> 00:19:29,040 police department they had arrested 398 00:19:32,390 --> 00:19:31,020 James McCormick and we're making a case 399 00:19:35,060 --> 00:19:32,400 against him and I'd heard that I'd 400 00:19:37,910 --> 00:19:35,070 tested it and wanted me to make a 401 00:19:41,690 --> 00:19:37,920 deposition I was a little bit hesitant 402 00:19:44,450 --> 00:19:41,700 to to them to do so because I know that 403 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:44,460 this sort of dowsing apparatus does work 404 00:19:50,159 --> 00:19:48,290 but under Sony specific conditions and 405 00:19:52,409 --> 00:19:50,169 so I gave them the minimum 406 00:19:54,690 --> 00:19:52,419 amount of information I needed to then a 407 00:19:56,580 --> 00:19:54,700 few weeks later I got I was contacted by 408 00:19:58,769 --> 00:19:56,590 the solicitor for the defense who asked 409 00:20:01,590 --> 00:19:58,779 the same questions and I gave him the 410 00:20:06,570 --> 00:20:01,600 same sort of information and a little 411 00:20:08,999 --> 00:20:06,580 bit later here's an article in CNN maker 412 00:20:12,299 --> 00:20:09,009 a fake bomb detector gets 10 years in 413 00:20:13,409 --> 00:20:12,309 prison and investigators say that it put 414 00:20:18,269 --> 00:20:13,419 lives at risk 415 00:20:21,269 --> 00:20:18,279 so a sad end to this story this is a 416 00:20:26,430 --> 00:20:21,279 psychotic system and it worked very well 417 00:20:30,330 --> 00:20:26,440 when it worked all right let's go on and 418 00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:30,340 go to another example this example is 419 00:20:35,369 --> 00:20:32,049 something we built in our lab and it was 420 00:20:38,239 --> 00:20:35,379 inspired by an experiment by 421 00:20:41,460 --> 00:20:38,249 Spottiswoode in May carried out in 2003 422 00:20:45,419 --> 00:20:41,470 so Spottiswoode in May had a poor 423 00:20:48,060 --> 00:20:45,429 subject who was sitting next to an 424 00:20:50,999 --> 00:20:48,070 electronic horn that at random times 425 00:20:53,639 --> 00:20:51,009 would blast in their ear then the 426 00:20:55,979 --> 00:20:53,649 subject was wired up with various things 427 00:20:57,810 --> 00:20:55,989 including a galvanic skin response that 428 00:21:00,149 --> 00:20:57,820 measured the conductivity of their skin 429 00:21:04,109 --> 00:21:00,159 the conductivity of the skin is a very 430 00:21:06,389 --> 00:21:04,119 good measure of emotional response and 431 00:21:08,039 --> 00:21:06,399 as you can imagine when the horn went 432 00:21:11,399 --> 00:21:08,049 off their emotional response went 433 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:11,409 haywire however looking very closely at 434 00:21:15,269 --> 00:21:12,850 the data something interesting was 435 00:21:19,019 --> 00:21:15,279 happening this is a plot from their 436 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:19,029 paper in 2003 in which they show on the 437 00:21:24,090 --> 00:21:21,850 vertical axis the conductivity of the 438 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:24,100 skin and on the horizontal axis the time 439 00:21:30,210 --> 00:21:27,129 the t equals zero is when the horn went 440 00:21:32,700 --> 00:21:30,220 off the response started a couple of 441 00:21:35,279 --> 00:21:32,710 seconds before this randomly timed horn 442 00:21:37,830 --> 00:21:35,289 went off and that was it was a pretty 443 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:37,840 robust result it had been replicated 444 00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:39,970 many times there's some controversy in 445 00:21:43,889 --> 00:21:41,710 its interpretation again I'm not going 446 00:21:45,389 --> 00:21:43,899 to go into the details on that but the 447 00:21:49,529 --> 00:21:45,399 fact is it worked 448 00:21:52,249 --> 00:21:49,539 so I thought damn why can't we build 449 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:52,259 this sort of a system without these 450 00:21:57,899 --> 00:21:55,450 sentient bags of salt water if we could 451 00:21:59,879 --> 00:21:57,909 do it instead and not have human beings 452 00:22:02,009 --> 00:21:59,889 but instead just make it out of 453 00:22:03,460 --> 00:22:02,019 instruments wouldn't that be cool then 454 00:22:07,210 --> 00:22:03,470 we could do SCI 455 00:22:09,730 --> 00:22:07,220 more reproducibly and and show how 456 00:22:12,700 --> 00:22:09,740 interesting it is to work so I came up 457 00:22:14,860 --> 00:22:12,710 with a following system to do it it 458 00:22:16,360 --> 00:22:14,870 involves two electronic random number 459 00:22:19,630 --> 00:22:16,370 generator so I'm going to call this the 460 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:19,640 dual RNG system the one on the right is 461 00:22:24,730 --> 00:22:22,250 the subject random number generator and 462 00:22:27,279 --> 00:22:24,740 this subject random number generator is 463 00:22:31,270 --> 00:22:27,289 spewing bits out to a central computer 464 00:22:35,289 --> 00:22:31,280 and the computer is recording it then at 465 00:22:37,810 --> 00:22:35,299 a random time the controlling RNG which 466 00:22:40,180 --> 00:22:37,820 is the one shown at the far left shuts 467 00:22:43,510 --> 00:22:40,190 off the subject random number generator 468 00:22:45,460 --> 00:22:43,520 and the idea was to see could the 469 00:22:48,549 --> 00:22:45,470 subject random number generator 470 00:22:51,430 --> 00:22:48,559 anticipate its own demise would the bits 471 00:22:54,490 --> 00:22:51,440 that were being sent to the central 472 00:22:56,649 --> 00:22:54,500 computer show some sort of a deviation a 473 00:22:59,830 --> 00:22:56,659 little bit of time before the subject 474 00:23:02,350 --> 00:22:59,840 was shut off so I commissioned Adam 475 00:23:04,180 --> 00:23:02,360 curry at Sylar on to build this thing 476 00:23:07,149 --> 00:23:04,190 and he did some nice work and built a 477 00:23:09,940 --> 00:23:07,159 system then a grad student of mine at 478 00:23:12,570 --> 00:23:09,950 the time James Zhu who is a very good 479 00:23:14,919 --> 00:23:12,580 grad student and very very reliable 480 00:23:16,930 --> 00:23:14,929 developed the software for this system 481 00:23:19,270 --> 00:23:16,940 with all sorts of controls and time 482 00:23:20,649 --> 00:23:19,280 stamps and so on to make sure that it 483 00:23:24,159 --> 00:23:20,659 was working the way that we thought it 484 00:23:26,070 --> 00:23:24,169 was working finally we got to the day 485 00:23:29,470 --> 00:23:26,080 where it was going to be operating and 486 00:23:32,230 --> 00:23:29,480 so he turned it on and he did a few 487 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:32,240 hundred trials they seemed positive did 488 00:23:38,380 --> 00:23:35,450 a few hundred more and so on so at that 489 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:38,390 beginning time he did seventeen hundred 490 00:23:43,180 --> 00:23:40,850 and thirty test trials and seven hundred 491 00:23:46,180 --> 00:23:43,190 and thirty control trials so this is a 492 00:23:50,140 --> 00:23:46,190 plot showing the results you can see 493 00:23:52,630 --> 00:23:50,150 that the blue line hovers around point 494 00:23:57,130 --> 00:23:52,640 five which means half ones and half 495 00:23:59,950 --> 00:23:57,140 zeroes and the the obsessive the 496 00:24:02,740 --> 00:23:59,960 horizontal axis is a time before shut 497 00:24:05,770 --> 00:24:02,750 off shut off occurs at the right a T 498 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:05,780 equals zero on the right and the test 499 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:10,970 the the control consisted of the same 500 00:24:15,799 --> 00:24:13,970 thing as the test system except we never 501 00:24:18,470 --> 00:24:15,809 actually did shut off the 502 00:24:20,899 --> 00:24:18,480 subject random number generator and as 503 00:24:24,110 --> 00:24:20,909 you can see it hovers around 0.5 and 504 00:24:26,330 --> 00:24:24,120 stays there the test subject on the 505 00:24:29,060 --> 00:24:26,340 other hand was the one that was shut off 506 00:24:33,049 --> 00:24:29,070 and about a second or so before shut off 507 00:24:37,430 --> 00:24:33,059 it deviated sharply from 0.5 and went 508 00:24:40,460 --> 00:24:37,440 down quite a bit in general random 509 00:24:42,620 --> 00:24:40,470 number generator studies done around the 510 00:24:44,990 --> 00:24:42,630 globe by different groups the effect 511 00:24:48,740 --> 00:24:45,000 size tends to be at what about one part 512 00:24:51,799 --> 00:24:48,750 in 10,000 we got effect sizes of one 513 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:51,809 part in 40 so these were huge effects 514 00:24:57,980 --> 00:24:53,690 and it was very very statistically 515 00:25:00,890 --> 00:24:57,990 significant so this just blew blew our 516 00:25:02,750 --> 00:25:00,900 minds we were really excited we started 517 00:25:05,750 --> 00:25:02,760 thinking ok how are we gonna use this 518 00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:05,760 what is this gonna do and so on so one 519 00:25:10,399 --> 00:25:07,049 of the things that you could do with 520 00:25:12,740 --> 00:25:10,409 this for example is to have a system in 521 00:25:16,750 --> 00:25:12,750 which say you're doing day trading on a 522 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:16,760 stock market and you shut off the 523 00:25:23,870 --> 00:25:20,090 subject random number generator at a 524 00:25:27,740 --> 00:25:23,880 predetermined time if the stock is going 525 00:25:29,779 --> 00:25:27,750 down at that point and you keep it on if 526 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:29,789 the stock has remained high at that 527 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:34,650 point then you take a look at the output 528 00:25:41,750 --> 00:25:38,010 of this subject random number generator 529 00:25:44,539 --> 00:25:41,760 in the computer before the stock trade 530 00:25:46,010 --> 00:25:44,549 and you can tell in advance of the stock 531 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:46,020 trade a few seconds whether it's going 532 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:47,850 to go up or down and you can invest 533 00:25:51,620 --> 00:25:49,890 accordingly and so you could do 534 00:25:54,409 --> 00:25:51,630 thousands and thousands of trades in a 535 00:25:56,659 --> 00:25:54,419 day make lots of money support my lab to 536 00:25:58,850 --> 00:25:56,669 continue the research support the 537 00:26:01,399 --> 00:25:58,860 Society of scientific exploration so we 538 00:26:06,250 --> 00:26:01,409 go to really fancy hotels and so we got 539 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:06,260 very excited about this thing and then 540 00:26:10,789 --> 00:26:08,490 one of the things we wanted to do was 541 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:10,799 try some variations so each I we changed 542 00:26:14,779 --> 00:26:12,570 bit rate we changed various other 543 00:26:16,310 --> 00:26:14,789 parameters in the system and it didn't 544 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:16,320 seem to go very well when we made 545 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:19,650 changes then about 20 days later we 546 00:26:23,149 --> 00:26:21,090 decided to replicate the original 547 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:23,159 experiment with the original software 548 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:25,770 original hardware exactly as described 549 00:26:32,590 --> 00:26:27,890 and we got nothing 550 00:26:35,170 --> 00:26:32,600 no effect whatsoever so in this case the 551 00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:35,180 test and the control were identical they 552 00:26:39,610 --> 00:26:38,510 both gave you about 0.5 at that point I 553 00:26:42,340 --> 00:26:39,620 realized wait a minute 554 00:26:45,730 --> 00:26:42,350 this is not what we thought it was this 555 00:26:47,290 --> 00:26:45,740 is a classical effect where you get a 556 00:26:51,390 --> 00:26:47,300 strong effect to begin with 557 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:51,400 later it it declines this is an 558 00:26:56,770 --> 00:26:54,410 experimenter decline effect and in fact 559 00:26:58,960 --> 00:26:56,780 it's not the random number generators 560 00:27:01,180 --> 00:26:58,970 who are doing all of this work it's us 561 00:27:02,860 --> 00:27:01,190 it's our intention that sets up the 562 00:27:07,660 --> 00:27:02,870 random number generators to work this 563 00:27:09,130 --> 00:27:07,670 way so this in retrospect is another 564 00:27:12,370 --> 00:27:09,140 cybot ik system 565 00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:12,380 it's a psy bottom in which you set it up 566 00:27:17,950 --> 00:27:15,310 to determine in advance whether 567 00:27:19,900 --> 00:27:17,960 something is going to be whether an 568 00:27:22,210 --> 00:27:19,910 event is going to occur or not at a 569 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:22,220 future time and if you do it right you 570 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:24,890 can tell quite reliably when whether 571 00:27:31,540 --> 00:27:28,730 this is going to happen or not okay let 572 00:27:34,420 --> 00:27:31,550 me talk about another experiment that we 573 00:27:37,990 --> 00:27:34,430 did and this is something that involves 574 00:27:40,860 --> 00:27:38,000 remote viewing so we're calling this the 575 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:40,870 Machine mediated remote viewing system 576 00:27:47,530 --> 00:27:44,450 the experiment consists of two parts the 577 00:27:50,530 --> 00:27:47,540 first part is the usual sort of remote 578 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:50,540 viewing so a subject attempt to draw a 579 00:27:56,110 --> 00:27:53,930 target hidden in an envelope and so the 580 00:27:59,590 --> 00:27:56,120 subject picks an envelope then draws the 581 00:28:01,480 --> 00:27:59,600 target and later judges judge it but we 582 00:28:05,290 --> 00:28:01,490 added an additional ingredient to this 583 00:28:09,340 --> 00:28:05,300 and this is inspired by field reg 584 00:28:11,980 --> 00:28:09,350 experiments we put a random number 585 00:28:15,190 --> 00:28:11,990 generator in the room sitting next to 586 00:28:17,260 --> 00:28:15,200 the subject unbeknownst to them this 587 00:28:19,210 --> 00:28:17,270 random number generator was spewing bits 588 00:28:23,050 --> 00:28:19,220 out at the same time which went to a 589 00:28:27,580 --> 00:28:23,060 computer we then used that computer to 590 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:27,590 draw a raster scanned image and along 591 00:28:33,130 --> 00:28:30,290 with the image that the subject was 592 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:33,140 drawing the judges judged the raster 593 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:34,730 scanned image by the way these were done 594 00:28:39,490 --> 00:28:37,010 at separate times we didn't take the 595 00:28:42,970 --> 00:28:39,500 pair together each one was was 596 00:28:45,130 --> 00:28:42,980 tested individually so in order to draw 597 00:28:52,270 --> 00:28:45,140 the raster scanned image we took about 598 00:28:54,220 --> 00:28:52,280 50,000 bits per image and arranged them 599 00:28:56,530 --> 00:28:54,230 in groups of a hundred bits averaged 600 00:28:59,290 --> 00:28:56,540 them and thresholded them so that they 601 00:29:01,270 --> 00:28:59,300 became either a 1 or a 0 if it was a 1 602 00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:01,280 we would draw a dot if it was a 0 we 603 00:29:06,070 --> 00:29:03,710 would draw nothing and raster scan did 604 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:06,080 in this way by the way this was carried 605 00:29:13,270 --> 00:29:10,810 out by a student who took this psych 606 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:13,280 science of psychic phenomena edges of 607 00:29:23,470 --> 00:29:18,170 science class that I taught in 2013 I 608 00:29:25,210 --> 00:29:23,480 think and so this was his project and so 609 00:29:27,190 --> 00:29:25,220 here's an example I don't know if you 610 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:27,200 can see it well enough on the chart but 611 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:31,130 I'd like you to judge so the possible 612 00:29:36,430 --> 00:29:34,970 subjects were Zener card images and so 613 00:29:39,130 --> 00:29:36,440 if you take a look at the drawing on the 614 00:29:42,970 --> 00:29:39,140 left does it look more like a zero 615 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:42,980 a-plus squiggly line box triangle or I 616 00:29:57,070 --> 00:29:54,970 okay so here more most of the loudest of 617 00:29:58,930 --> 00:29:57,080 the squiggly lines now the one on the 618 00:30:00,460 --> 00:29:58,940 right which was judged separately and 619 00:30:01,810 --> 00:30:00,470 before you judge it let me give you 620 00:30:03,910 --> 00:30:01,820 little instructions here which we 621 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:03,920 learned after judging these images 622 00:30:09,490 --> 00:30:07,490 because this is a very low pixel density 623 00:30:11,650 --> 00:30:09,500 image there are naturally going to be 624 00:30:14,380 --> 00:30:11,660 pluses and squares because it's on a 625 00:30:16,750 --> 00:30:14,390 square array so unless it's a really 626 00:30:20,380 --> 00:30:16,760 strong looking square or a strong 627 00:30:22,810 --> 00:30:20,390 looking plus seek another image if it's 628 00:30:25,150 --> 00:30:22,820 possibly a zero or possibly a squiggly 629 00:30:27,940 --> 00:30:25,160 line or possibly a star choose that 630 00:30:28,900 --> 00:30:27,950 rather than the pluses or squares so 631 00:30:36,730 --> 00:30:28,910 what do you think of that one on the 632 00:30:38,980 --> 00:30:36,740 right star well at the time the judges 633 00:30:40,690 --> 00:30:38,990 judged that to be a squiggly line as 634 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:40,700 well and so this was a rank order 635 00:30:46,740 --> 00:30:43,610 judging it turned out in this case the 636 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:46,750 actual object in the envelope was a star 637 00:30:52,570 --> 00:30:49,010 okay let's do another 638 00:31:00,070 --> 00:30:52,580 so what do you say for the drawn images 639 00:31:01,810 --> 00:31:00,080 on the left plus square so it really 640 00:31:04,450 --> 00:31:01,820 depends on which of those two images you 641 00:31:14,500 --> 00:31:04,460 choose right what about the one on the 642 00:31:17,230 --> 00:31:14,510 right plus square okay it seems like the 643 00:31:19,390 --> 00:31:17,240 pluses were the loudest let's see so the 644 00:31:21,490 --> 00:31:19,400 judges judged a square on the left a 645 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:21,500 plus on the right and in fact it was a 646 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:24,410 plus so the Machine mediated remote 647 00:31:30,310 --> 00:31:28,130 viewing was correct the the one that was 648 00:31:32,740 --> 00:31:30,320 judged from the drawn image was 649 00:31:35,290 --> 00:31:32,750 incorrect we also carried out 650 00:31:37,450 --> 00:31:35,300 experiments in which there was just a 651 00:31:38,950 --> 00:31:37,460 machine mediated remote viewing where 652 00:31:41,980 --> 00:31:38,960 the subject just sat there and thought 653 00:31:47,140 --> 00:31:41,990 but didn't draw anything so what do you 654 00:31:48,790 --> 00:31:47,150 think about this one let me guide your 655 00:31:51,670 --> 00:31:48,800 thinking on this I know this isn't fair 656 00:31:56,260 --> 00:31:51,680 but if you look at it does it look 657 00:31:58,150 --> 00:31:56,270 circle ish nah wiggly line maybe but 658 00:31:59,320 --> 00:31:58,160 there's sort of an emanating quality to 659 00:32:01,510 --> 00:31:59,330 it right there's something that seems to 660 00:32:02,980 --> 00:32:01,520 be emanating from the center going out 661 00:32:06,220 --> 00:32:02,990 at least that's what I thought when I 662 00:32:10,450 --> 00:32:06,230 judged it and I judged it as a star and 663 00:32:12,130 --> 00:32:10,460 in fact it was a star now I just showed 664 00:32:13,870 --> 00:32:12,140 you three examples where the judging was 665 00:32:16,810 --> 00:32:13,880 correct of course there were cases where 666 00:32:18,970 --> 00:32:16,820 the judging was incorrect and this shows 667 00:32:21,460 --> 00:32:18,980 the statistics for the results 668 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:21,470 we did get statistically significant 669 00:32:28,540 --> 00:32:25,730 results this the raster scanned images 670 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:28,550 were more statistically significant or 671 00:32:32,710 --> 00:32:30,770 more significant in their results than 672 00:32:37,930 --> 00:32:32,720 the drawn images and you can see that in 673 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:37,940 the two left-hand ish columns where the 674 00:32:44,470 --> 00:32:40,490 p-value was point both two for the 675 00:32:47,370 --> 00:32:44,480 raster scanned image then when we did 676 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:47,380 trials with only the MMRV 677 00:32:53,890 --> 00:32:50,210 there they were less statistically 678 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:53,900 significant and if you combine the two 679 00:32:57,610 --> 00:32:55,850 we ended up with it with a study which 680 00:33:00,520 --> 00:32:57,620 showed fairly strong statistical 681 00:33:02,710 --> 00:33:00,530 significance just a few quick points 682 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:02,720 here in the remote 683 00:33:08,050 --> 00:33:05,570 in MMRV runs why was there a higher tea 684 00:33:10,150 --> 00:33:08,060 score for the raster scanned images 685 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:10,160 compared with the drawn images and I 686 00:33:14,890 --> 00:33:12,370 would argue that the reason is that 687 00:33:19,860 --> 00:33:14,900 there's an analytical overlay that may 688 00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:19,870 occur with the hand-drawn drawings and 689 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:22,310 according to my remote viewing teacher 690 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:25,970 Paul Smith you know if say the correct 691 00:33:30,250 --> 00:33:28,490 image is a fork you may see a something 692 00:33:32,290 --> 00:33:30,260 going up like this and something going 693 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:32,300 down like that mistake it for a brush or 694 00:33:36,490 --> 00:33:34,610 a hand and then you you start drawing 695 00:33:40,330 --> 00:33:36,500 the wrong things presumably the Machine 696 00:33:43,090 --> 00:33:40,340 doesn't do that then some other 697 00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:43,100 questions why was the raster scanned T 698 00:33:47,110 --> 00:33:45,710 score for the remote viewing runs ones 699 00:33:50,500 --> 00:33:47,120 where we did the drawing at the same 700 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:50,510 time larger than the T score for the 701 00:33:55,900 --> 00:33:53,090 cases where you did only the machine 702 00:33:57,850 --> 00:33:55,910 driven remote viewing perhaps because 703 00:34:00,460 --> 00:33:57,860 there was too much thinking going on 704 00:34:01,750 --> 00:34:00,470 with ones where someone was just sitting 705 00:34:03,700 --> 00:34:01,760 there thinking when they were drawing 706 00:34:06,550 --> 00:34:03,710 they were sort of applying their mind to 707 00:34:08,830 --> 00:34:06,560 draw something so then comes a more deep 708 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:08,840 deeper question how can the arbitrary 709 00:34:14,110 --> 00:34:12,290 mapping of a raster scan produce an 710 00:34:15,700 --> 00:34:14,120 image right because you could raster 711 00:34:17,860 --> 00:34:15,710 scan it this way you could raster scan 712 00:34:21,580 --> 00:34:17,870 it this way how you combine it is purely 713 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:21,590 arbitrary that's classic cybot X it's 714 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:23,570 the experimenter influenced so you in 715 00:34:28,180 --> 00:34:25,130 advance determine how you want it to 716 00:34:29,860 --> 00:34:28,190 work and so it works that way then what 717 00:34:32,530 --> 00:34:29,870 other sort of images might you do this 718 00:34:34,570 --> 00:34:32,540 way well you could do all sorts of 719 00:34:37,270 --> 00:34:34,580 things you could do microscopy you could 720 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:37,280 look at ultra-fast processes you could 721 00:34:41,740 --> 00:34:39,050 look at hidden images just as you do 722 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:41,750 with remote viewing traditional 723 00:34:46,140 --> 00:34:43,610 experiments you could look at images in 724 00:34:47,380 --> 00:34:46,150 the future there all sorts of things 725 00:34:50,050 --> 00:34:47,390 okay 726 00:34:54,220 --> 00:34:50,060 so let's spend a minute or two talking 727 00:34:56,710 --> 00:34:54,230 about what sorts of issues there are in 728 00:34:59,170 --> 00:34:56,720 trying to make Saibot expectable if we 729 00:35:02,410 --> 00:34:59,180 want to start saibot excoriation what do 730 00:35:04,270 --> 00:35:02,420 we need to do first of all we've got to 731 00:35:06,310 --> 00:35:04,280 choose the appropriate applications if 732 00:35:08,860 --> 00:35:06,320 we want to draw if we want to have a 733 00:35:11,650 --> 00:35:08,870 mobile robot it like the pair lab 734 00:35:13,210 --> 00:35:11,660 probably a bad idea because it's going 735 00:35:15,220 --> 00:35:13,220 to wander all over the place it's not a 736 00:35:17,170 --> 00:35:15,230 very efficient way to get the thing 737 00:35:19,090 --> 00:35:17,180 where you want it to go on the other 738 00:35:21,670 --> 00:35:19,100 hand if you want to do something we're 739 00:35:23,770 --> 00:35:21,680 getting right more times than not is 740 00:35:25,990 --> 00:35:23,780 sufficient light for instance stock 741 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:26,000 market investment then then you've got 742 00:35:34,690 --> 00:35:31,010 something a big issue here has to do 743 00:35:36,670 --> 00:35:34,700 with the reliability and reproducibility 744 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:36,680 of the effect because what we're doing 745 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:38,570 is we're applying mental control here 746 00:35:43,330 --> 00:35:39,530 how do we do it 747 00:35:46,410 --> 00:35:43,340 well one possibility might be something 748 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:46,420 light like controlled remote viewing so 749 00:35:52,420 --> 00:35:48,650 controlled remote viewing takes the 750 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:52,430 basic idea of clairvoyance and really 751 00:35:57,550 --> 00:35:54,650 refined it quite a bit till you got a 752 00:36:00,910 --> 00:35:57,560 very refined art this was as done by 753 00:36:03,700 --> 00:36:00,920 Ingo Swann and he'll put off which then 754 00:36:06,870 --> 00:36:03,710 became the remote viewing protocol can 755 00:36:09,250 --> 00:36:06,880 one do the same thing with micro PK 756 00:36:12,270 --> 00:36:09,260 perhaps you can I know it's been tried 757 00:36:17,140 --> 00:36:12,280 to some extent perhaps not well enough 758 00:36:18,700 --> 00:36:17,150 in a talk that's going to be given a 759 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:18,710 little bit later this morning Sean 760 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:19,490 McNamara 761 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:21,890 is going to describe some experiments 762 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:24,410 that he's done in which he has been able 763 00:36:30,460 --> 00:36:27,890 to really control his mind to control a 764 00:36:31,780 --> 00:36:30,470 system and produce some some pretty 765 00:36:34,090 --> 00:36:31,790 interesting effects and I've actually 766 00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:34,100 done this with him and I've been very 767 00:36:39,370 --> 00:36:36,730 very impressed 768 00:36:41,830 --> 00:36:39,380 another issue might be using a physical 769 00:36:44,340 --> 00:36:41,840 crutch for example if you're doing 770 00:36:46,750 --> 00:36:44,350 dowsing you've got a dowsing rod or our 771 00:36:49,570 --> 00:36:46,760 ATSC detector which worked very well 772 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:49,580 there's a physical system somehow things 773 00:36:53,380 --> 00:36:51,050 seem to work better when you've got a 774 00:36:56,530 --> 00:36:53,390 physical system like psychometrics 775 00:36:59,260 --> 00:36:56,540 is a way of remembering somebody by 776 00:37:01,420 --> 00:36:59,270 looking at a physical thing that they 777 00:37:03,580 --> 00:37:01,430 had probably the physical thing doesn't 778 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:03,590 contain in any information but it's a 779 00:37:08,650 --> 00:37:05,810 vehicle and so having a vehicle to make 780 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:08,660 this work might help it and then finally 781 00:37:14,500 --> 00:37:12,530 mind-control Yogi's meditators people 782 00:37:17,370 --> 00:37:14,510 who are able to control their mind have 783 00:37:20,470 --> 00:37:17,380 been shown to really do a lot better on 784 00:37:23,349 --> 00:37:20,480 micro PK experiments so there may be 785 00:37:26,170 --> 00:37:23,359 ways to do this so in conclusion 786 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:26,180 cybot --ax which is physical 787 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:29,210 robots driven by sai mediated in ten 788 00:37:33,700 --> 00:37:32,210 can enhance human function it's already 789 00:37:36,580 --> 00:37:33,710 worked I gave a number of examples 790 00:37:38,610 --> 00:37:36,590 including a mobile robot mind lamp 791 00:37:41,340 --> 00:37:38,620 global consciousness project a 792 00:37:44,650 --> 00:37:41,350 contraband detection and dowsing 793 00:37:47,650 --> 00:37:44,660 prediction using a double a dual random 794 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:47,660 number generator experiment and machine 795 00:37:53,530 --> 00:37:50,570 mediated remote viewing so my question 796 00:37:56,170 --> 00:37:53,540 to you is what applications can you 797 00:37:59,320 --> 00:37:56,180 envision perhaps something really simple 798 00:38:02,200 --> 00:37:59,330 like a random number generator driven 799 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:02,210 shuffle for your iPod so that the music 800 00:38:07,330 --> 00:38:03,890 that plays is the one that you just want 801 00:38:11,050 --> 00:38:07,340 at that time or maybe you might even ask 802 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:11,060 is is a pyramid a cybot exsist 'm is it 803 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:13,850 actually driven by intention I'd be 804 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:17,130 interested in what you think thank you 805 00:38:27,070 --> 00:38:24,610 [Applause] 806 00:38:32,070 --> 00:38:27,080 okay I don't even have to say questions 807 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:34,420 fantastic presentation really 808 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:37,610 interesting um I'm interested in the 809 00:38:42,780 --> 00:38:39,530 decline effect what is the difference 810 00:38:46,030 --> 00:38:42,790 between your your little stock picking 811 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:46,040 device between the intention you had 812 00:38:52,390 --> 00:38:49,130 initially where it was successful and 813 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:52,400 then the second time why would your 814 00:38:55,930 --> 00:38:54,170 intention be so different and why would 815 00:39:01,030 --> 00:38:55,940 you did not get the same positive 816 00:39:02,830 --> 00:39:01,040 results I wish I knew the answer I think 817 00:39:08,490 --> 00:39:02,840 the answer is probably going to be the 818 00:39:11,710 --> 00:39:08,500 same as what our speaker last evening 819 00:39:13,690 --> 00:39:11,720 gallenberger talked about that there's 820 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:13,700 some sort of a purity of intention and 821 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:16,370 enthusiasm that starts off an experiment 822 00:39:21,970 --> 00:39:18,890 and something seems to dissipate yeah 823 00:39:29,550 --> 00:39:21,980 let me suggest novelty somehow novelty 824 00:39:37,270 --> 00:39:32,350 there's potential here for hours of 825 00:39:42,220 --> 00:39:37,280 discussion but I like to touch on just 826 00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:42,230 one point on the MMRV I'm wondering why 827 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:46,910 you chose to throw away so much of the 828 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:51,530 information given that especially in 829 00:39:57,430 --> 00:39:55,090 these later days we're all accustomed to 830 00:40:01,480 --> 00:39:57,440 pixelated images on the news and 831 00:40:03,490 --> 00:40:01,490 elsewhere that have been turned in into 832 00:40:06,370 --> 00:40:03,500 big blocks to try to obscure information 833 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:06,380 and trying to see whatever we can beyond 834 00:40:10,180 --> 00:40:08,210 it do you think the judge might have 835 00:40:13,900 --> 00:40:10,190 been able to do better if instead of 836 00:40:19,420 --> 00:40:13,910 having an array of dots and blanks you 837 00:40:22,390 --> 00:40:19,430 had retained the full numbers and had 838 00:40:25,330 --> 00:40:22,400 greyscale in different shades very good 839 00:40:28,300 --> 00:40:25,340 point the reason is that this was a 840 00:40:31,030 --> 00:40:28,310 student project and he had time to do it 841 00:40:33,310 --> 00:40:31,040 one way he did it one way and that was 842 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:33,320 the result we had I would love to do 843 00:40:37,540 --> 00:40:34,970 exactly what you said I'd love to 844 00:40:41,830 --> 00:40:37,550 do it with greyscale I'd like to do it 845 00:40:43,750 --> 00:40:41,840 with a much finer array of pixels and if 846 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:43,760 somebody is interested in doing the 847 00:40:47,860 --> 00:40:45,410 programming on this thing and working 848 00:40:50,350 --> 00:40:47,870 with me that would be wonderful this is 849 00:40:52,420 --> 00:40:50,360 something where we just did it and then 850 00:40:54,820 --> 00:40:52,430 the guy graduated and now he's off 851 00:40:55,710 --> 00:40:54,830 working in some aerospace company 852 00:40:59,080 --> 00:40:55,720 somewhere 853 00:41:01,600 --> 00:40:59,090 my father was psychometric and he 854 00:41:04,300 --> 00:41:01,610 utilized psychometry to found the field 855 00:41:06,340 --> 00:41:04,310 of highway safety in America dad's 856 00:41:09,370 --> 00:41:06,350 research at Harvard got Ralph Nader's 857 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:09,380 started the book unsafe at any speed so 858 00:41:14,530 --> 00:41:12,410 he talked to cars and he talked to 859 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:14,540 inanimate objects on a regular basis 860 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:17,450 they the inanimate object has a 861 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:20,930 non-sentient consciousness and is aware 862 00:41:29,110 --> 00:41:23,450 of what goes on around it and records 863 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:29,120 images in it ok so you it is not that 864 00:41:37,420 --> 00:41:32,530 the psychometry person is perceiving 865 00:41:40,870 --> 00:41:37,430 environmental stimuli the the object 866 00:41:43,780 --> 00:41:40,880 itself is being read so what it has 867 00:41:46,660 --> 00:41:43,790 perceived so what you say reminds me of 868 00:41:50,020 --> 00:41:46,670 a story where Bob John had was showing 869 00:41:54,150 --> 00:41:50,030 the Dalai Lama around the pear lab and 870 00:41:56,350 --> 00:41:54,160 as the Dalai Lama was at was leaving and 871 00:41:59,290 --> 00:41:56,360 Bob John had answered a lot of questions 872 00:42:03,400 --> 00:41:59,300 the Dalai Lama asked Bob do you have a 873 00:42:06,310 --> 00:42:03,410 question for me and Bob asked is this 874 00:42:08,290 --> 00:42:06,320 random event generator conscious the 875 00:42:10,570 --> 00:42:08,300 Dalai Lama thought for a minute and he 876 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:10,580 said if you think it's conscious then 877 00:42:18,970 --> 00:42:17,330 it's conscious great talk so I have an 878 00:42:21,310 --> 00:42:18,980 endorsement caveat in question that I'll 879 00:42:22,900 --> 00:42:21,320 try to do really fast so endorsement is 880 00:42:24,490 --> 00:42:22,910 I think from a cylon standpoint we 881 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:24,500 obviously 100% agree with this 882 00:42:29,860 --> 00:42:26,690 programmability thing I think there's 883 00:42:31,210 --> 00:42:29,870 probably dozens of examples that along 884 00:42:33,790 --> 00:42:31,220 the lines of what you're saying so I 885 00:42:35,050 --> 00:42:33,800 think that's great and it's important 886 00:42:36,460 --> 00:42:35,060 for people to realize it because I think 887 00:42:38,830 --> 00:42:36,470 it would save a lot of time in the 888 00:42:40,660 --> 00:42:38,840 explorations that they do the caveat 889 00:42:42,430 --> 00:42:40,670 would be I think the effect size 890 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:42,440 statement I think the effect size issue 891 00:42:46,270 --> 00:42:44,450 is also subject to this program ability 892 00:42:46,900 --> 00:42:46,280 so depending on how you define an 893 00:42:48,910 --> 00:42:46,910 experiment 894 00:42:50,950 --> 00:42:48,920 very easy to scale it up and down by 895 00:42:52,260 --> 00:42:50,960 several orders of magnitude that's one 896 00:42:54,670 --> 00:42:52,270 thing and then the question would be 897 00:42:56,650 --> 00:42:54,680 given that there's all this sign missing 898 00:42:59,260 --> 00:42:56,660 and you know issues with decline effects 899 00:43:01,809 --> 00:42:59,270 etc can we ever actually have reliable 900 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:01,819 applications even though we do have its 901 00:43:05,799 --> 00:43:03,770 programmability feature would you ask 902 00:43:09,279 --> 00:43:05,809 the same question about clairvoyance 903 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:09,289 before remote viewing was started well I 904 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:11,210 think the mainstream still doesn't 905 00:43:14,859 --> 00:43:12,650 accept any of those things because we 906 00:43:16,930 --> 00:43:14,869 don't have the degree of deterministic 907 00:43:18,900 --> 00:43:16,940 reliability that we get from most 908 00:43:21,069 --> 00:43:18,910 technology in the normal paradigm so 909 00:43:23,109 --> 00:43:21,079 yeah you think we can put these 910 00:43:24,970 --> 00:43:23,119 applications into that camp but is there 911 00:43:26,829 --> 00:43:24,980 is there a hope to put it into a more 912 00:43:32,099 --> 00:43:26,839 you know conventional application you 913 00:43:38,349 --> 00:43:35,079 as an engineer I think I see a key to 914 00:43:40,599 --> 00:43:38,359 this when you show the decline effect in 915 00:43:43,299 --> 00:43:40,609 the robot itself if we assume that it 916 00:43:44,319 --> 00:43:43,309 was the RNG and that the experimenter 917 00:43:47,529 --> 00:43:44,329 doing it 918 00:43:50,470 --> 00:43:47,539 so if we treat the robots as as semi 919 00:43:53,140 --> 00:43:50,480 living or unconscious like was it Paul 920 00:43:57,670 --> 00:43:53,150 the artificial ghost decline effect 921 00:44:01,269 --> 00:43:57,680 suggests training effects so if we can 922 00:44:02,980 --> 00:44:01,279 train a product that's based on a random 923 00:44:06,039 --> 00:44:02,990 random number generators and then 924 00:44:08,289 --> 00:44:06,049 somehow make haunted randomizers that do 925 00:44:10,750 --> 00:44:08,299 what we want because we've treated them 926 00:44:13,990 --> 00:44:10,760 as children and spent years in training 927 00:44:16,599 --> 00:44:14,000 until they start doing things and then 928 00:44:21,460 --> 00:44:16,609 copy them which is sort of how human 929 00:44:24,370 --> 00:44:21,470 beings are made that's the opposite of 930 00:44:26,019 --> 00:44:24,380 the decline effect and I got this from a 931 00:44:30,670 --> 00:44:26,029 waking up in the middle night with 932 00:44:34,450 --> 00:44:30,680 intense dream of a expose eye experiment 933 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:34,460 which the dream was the magic 8-ball was 934 00:44:38,980 --> 00:44:36,770 trained by the intention of hundreds of 935 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:38,990 thousands of people and when it first 936 00:44:45,970 --> 00:44:41,690 was made didn't actually work and it was 937 00:44:49,839 --> 00:44:45,980 purely random but today it actually is 938 00:44:52,870 --> 00:44:49,849 like a cybot that it's doing is making 939 00:44:54,819 --> 00:44:52,880 accurate predictions so the experiment 940 00:44:55,720 --> 00:44:54,829 would be to look at random number 941 00:44:58,210 --> 00:44:55,730 generators 942 00:45:00,580 --> 00:44:58,220 and see if we have like a thousand 943 00:45:04,330 --> 00:45:00,590 students come through and on one of them 944 00:45:06,970 --> 00:45:04,340 and try to get them to do something will 945 00:45:10,090 --> 00:45:06,980 the student intention slowly train our 946 00:45:11,740 --> 00:45:10,100 instruments to do what the students will 947 00:45:14,020 --> 00:45:11,750 not and then we can watch that happen 948 00:45:16,540 --> 00:45:14,030 over the months where it's purely random 949 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:16,550 when we start until it starts doing 950 00:45:21,490 --> 00:45:19,130 things let's try it interesting so we 951 00:45:24,370 --> 00:45:21,500 now have two votes for honoring the 952 00:45:26,650 --> 00:45:24,380 random number generator their honor 953 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:26,660 honoring the instrument yes 954 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:29,090 great talk Aaron and maybe another word 955 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:31,010 for this as psychotronics which goes 956 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:32,930 back to the sixties it's a little 957 00:45:37,030 --> 00:45:34,850 different I actually watched your video 958 00:45:39,010 --> 00:45:37,040 on psychotronics recently just to see 959 00:45:46,030 --> 00:45:39,020 the distinction but you're the experts 960 00:45:48,990 --> 00:45:46,040 please go ahead pyramidal structures 961 00:45:53,950 --> 00:45:49,000 which we found enhanced human intention 962 00:45:56,710 --> 00:45:53,960 to with plant growth the biomass was 963 00:46:00,310 --> 00:45:56,720 almost twice as large this is dry weight 964 00:46:03,700 --> 00:46:00,320 my biomass of Kentucky wonder beans that 965 00:46:06,010 --> 00:46:03,710 grew in a non-native substrate so with 966 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:06,020 intention alone it was about 16% more 967 00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:08,450 biomass and it was about 36% more 968 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:15,880 thank you 969 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:17,450 so I do want to make the distinction 970 00:46:24,010 --> 00:46:21,050 here between psychotronics and Saibot 971 00:46:25,990 --> 00:46:24,020 --ax where one involves more just direct 972 00:46:28,990 --> 00:46:26,000 influence on living systems and another 973 00:46:30,730 --> 00:46:29,000 uses a machine to mediate it you're 974 00:46:32,830 --> 00:46:30,740 saying in this particular case a pyramid 975 00:46:38,230 --> 00:46:32,840 did the mediation and so that's that's 976 00:46:40,780 --> 00:46:38,240 an intermediate area thank you thank you
