00:00:14,639 podcast my name is andy and joining me 5 00:00:19,590 --> 00:00:17,199 for the second time on the podcast as a 6 00:00:21,750 --> 00:00:19,600 professor of biological anthropology at 7 00:00:24,070 --> 00:00:21,760 montana technological university in 8 00:00:25,750 --> 00:00:24,080 montana he received a phd in 9 00:00:28,710 --> 00:00:25,760 anthropology from the ohio state 10 00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:28,720 university in 2009 where he specialized 11 00:00:33,590 --> 00:00:30,960 in hominin evolutionary anatomy 12 00:00:35,350 --> 00:00:33,600 archaeology and biomedicine you may have 13 00:00:38,310 --> 00:00:35,360 heard his previous appearance on this 14 00:00:40,630 --> 00:00:38,320 podcast very late last year 2021 15 00:00:42,549 --> 00:00:40,640 discussing his last book identified 16 00:00:44,389 --> 00:00:42,559 flying objects a multidisciplinary 17 00:00:46,389 --> 00:00:44,399 scientific approach to the ufo 18 00:00:48,869 --> 00:00:46,399 phenomenon welcome back to the podcast 19 00:00:50,069 --> 00:00:48,879 dr michael masters michael how are you 20 00:00:52,229 --> 00:00:50,079 i'm doing great thanks for having me 21 00:00:54,229 --> 00:00:52,239 back andy it's always fun talking to you 22 00:00:55,910 --> 00:00:54,239 i am glad i got through that in one go 23 00:00:56,830 --> 00:00:55,920 seeing all those big words that's pretty 24 00:00:59,029 --> 00:00:56,840 good 25 00:01:01,029 --> 00:00:59,039 yeah that's all downhill all downhill 26 00:01:03,349 --> 00:01:01,039 from here yeah you're a take one kind of 27 00:01:06,070 --> 00:01:03,359 guy no take two's for you it's it's 28 00:01:07,109 --> 00:01:06,080 laziness that's that's what it is um 29 00:01:08,870 --> 00:01:07,119 straight off the bat i'm going to 30 00:01:11,270 --> 00:01:08,880 attempt another big word and first 31 00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:11,280 question is the title of the new book as 32 00:01:15,910 --> 00:01:13,600 the extratempestrial model 33 00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:15,920 can you explain the meaning of extra 34 00:01:20,710 --> 00:01:17,520 tempestuo 35 00:01:21,830 --> 00:01:20,720 sure absolutely so i was looking for a 36 00:01:25,429 --> 00:01:21,840 way of 37 00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:25,439 sort of encapsulating this idea of these 38 00:01:29,350 --> 00:01:27,600 beings um instead of coming from a 39 00:01:30,789 --> 00:01:29,360 different planet or or some other 40 00:01:32,630 --> 00:01:30,799 origins 41 00:01:34,149 --> 00:01:32,640 uh exploring the question of whether or 42 00:01:35,910 --> 00:01:34,159 not they're us from the future coming 43 00:01:38,469 --> 00:01:35,920 back through time to visit and study 44 00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:38,479 their own uh evolutionary past cultural 45 00:01:44,069 --> 00:01:41,520 past as well uh so i wanted something 46 00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:44,079 that was similar enough there that's 47 00:01:48,069 --> 00:01:45,920 conventional enough that people could 48 00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:48,079 sort of get the idea so i just took out 49 00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:50,720 tear from extraterrestrial which means 50 00:01:54,149 --> 00:01:52,079 outside of earth 51 00:01:56,630 --> 00:01:54,159 put in the latin root temp uh which 52 00:01:58,950 --> 00:01:56,640 means time so meaning outside of time so 53 00:02:00,950 --> 00:01:58,960 you kind of keep that sort of lexicon 54 00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:00,960 continuity in the sense that the words 55 00:02:05,429 --> 00:02:02,880 are similar but the the word that 56 00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:05,439 actually indicates the origin point uh 57 00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:07,680 is different and specific to 58 00:02:12,949 --> 00:02:11,280 a a temporal origin explanation 59 00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:12,959 i think it's a good talking point and i 60 00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:15,599 tried it today and and work i was on my 61 00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:17,360 lunch break and someone was asking me 62 00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:18,400 about the 63 00:02:22,150 --> 00:02:20,640 the podcast is suddenly went around the 64 00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:22,160 office because 65 00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:24,160 we finished top 20 in the uk listener 66 00:02:27,910 --> 00:02:25,760 choice awards at the british i saw that 67 00:02:29,589 --> 00:02:27,920 congrats that's awesome yeah very 68 00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:29,599 surprised but thank you very much to 69 00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:31,200 listeners because without them listening 70 00:02:34,790 --> 00:02:32,560 and voting and you don't get in there 71 00:02:36,309 --> 00:02:34,800 and it was some big names but so it's 72 00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:36,319 went around the office where i've never 73 00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:38,080 really talked about it and and one of 74 00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:39,440 the guys in there was asking you oh 75 00:02:43,589 --> 00:02:42,400 you've got this ufo aliens podcast um 76 00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:43,599 you know surely you don't believe in 77 00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:45,440 aliens coming from other planets and 78 00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:46,959 giving i had this interview tonight i 79 00:02:50,150 --> 00:02:48,560 mentioned well what if it wasn't from 80 00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:50,160 other planets and i said you know the 81 00:02:54,309 --> 00:02:52,160 phase extraterrestrial what if it was 82 00:02:56,390 --> 00:02:54,319 extraterrestrial and i got a bit of a 83 00:02:58,470 --> 00:02:56,400 huh and that kind of puzzled look across 84 00:02:59,990 --> 00:02:58,480 his face and then explained the idea 85 00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:00,000 really badly that what if it was from a 86 00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:02,560 different time and just that taking a 87 00:03:06,070 --> 00:03:04,400 total sidestep to the usual approach 88 00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:06,080 with someone who really has no interest 89 00:03:10,630 --> 00:03:08,800 in the subject they were like ah and can 90 00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:10,640 i got them in a conversation that maybe 91 00:03:15,350 --> 00:03:13,440 otherwise they wouldn't be as interested 92 00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:15,360 in because aliens coming from other 93 00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:17,840 planets flying saucers it's the same old 94 00:03:21,670 --> 00:03:19,680 same old and this is a it's not 95 00:03:25,110 --> 00:03:21,680 necessarily a new notion but it's 96 00:03:26,869 --> 00:03:25,120 becoming a more and more popular one 97 00:03:28,869 --> 00:03:26,879 and it's great to see it's it's really 98 00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:28,879 getting some traction over the last 99 00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:31,360 especially in the last year so it seems 100 00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:33,760 yeah and more and more books and papers 101 00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:35,440 are citing the idea that potentially 102 00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:37,440 it's something other than the classic 103 00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:40,080 from somewhere else and maybe it's some 104 00:03:44,149 --> 00:03:42,400 other time your previous book was 105 00:03:46,149 --> 00:03:44,159 identified flying objects a 106 00:03:48,630 --> 00:03:46,159 multidisciplinary scientific approach to 107 00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:48,640 the ufo phenomenon again folks go back 108 00:03:51,830 --> 00:03:49,840 and listen to that one from late 109 00:03:53,509 --> 00:03:51,840 december last year and again that 110 00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:53,519 touched on the idea of future humans 111 00:03:57,589 --> 00:03:55,840 within that conversation what was the 112 00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:57,599 inspiration to carry on that line of 113 00:04:02,630 --> 00:04:00,480 thinking into this brand new piece 114 00:04:05,110 --> 00:04:02,640 yeah it's a good question um there are a 115 00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:05,120 couple of things at play i guess 116 00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:08,560 before i wrote my first book i i was 117 00:04:12,229 --> 00:04:10,239 thinking about different approaches 118 00:04:13,910 --> 00:04:12,239 different ways of of looking at it and 119 00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:13,920 one of them involved looking at case 120 00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:16,239 studies highly vetted 121 00:04:21,830 --> 00:04:19,519 cases of mostly abduction and um 122 00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:21,840 especially those where there's a lot of 123 00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:23,440 other people involved there's a lot of 124 00:04:27,189 --> 00:04:25,919 documentation police reports those types 125 00:04:29,350 --> 00:04:27,199 of things 126 00:04:31,350 --> 00:04:29,360 um but i decided to go a different route 127 00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:31,360 for the first book and mostly 128 00:04:37,270 --> 00:04:34,160 take a multi-disciplinary approach that 129 00:04:38,749 --> 00:04:37,280 largely draws from my uh my background 130 00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:38,759 in biological anthropology 131 00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:40,800 paleoanthropology hominin 132 00:04:44,710 --> 00:04:42,160 evolutionary anatomy looking at 133 00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:44,720 long-term trends in our physiology 134 00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:47,280 because even without trying to speculate 135 00:04:51,510 --> 00:04:49,680 about what will happen to us in the 136 00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:51,520 future that might make us have bigger 137 00:04:55,830 --> 00:04:53,360 heads or bigger eyes just these same 138 00:04:57,909 --> 00:04:55,840 trends can tear continued on into the 139 00:05:00,550 --> 00:04:57,919 future that have endured for six million 140 00:05:02,230 --> 00:05:00,560 years were likely to look very similar 141 00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:02,240 to what's most commonly reported in 142 00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:03,680 these cases so 143 00:05:07,110 --> 00:05:04,720 um 144 00:05:09,510 --> 00:05:07,120 i i touched on those a little bit in the 145 00:05:11,590 --> 00:05:09,520 first book but it was also more about 146 00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:11,600 why might the extraterrestrial 147 00:05:15,990 --> 00:05:14,320 hypothesis need some critiquing what are 148 00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:16,000 some issues with that 149 00:05:19,189 --> 00:05:18,000 as it relates to this phenomenon as we 150 00:05:21,670 --> 00:05:19,199 understand it 151 00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:21,680 um astrobiology came into play what's 152 00:05:25,990 --> 00:05:23,199 the likelihood that we'll get an upright 153 00:05:27,430 --> 00:05:26,000 walking hominin on a different planet 154 00:05:30,469 --> 00:05:27,440 around a different star of different 155 00:05:33,590 --> 00:05:30,479 gravity distance from its sun 156 00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:33,600 uh atmosphere dna coding system may not 157 00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:35,520 even exist maybe they're silicone or 158 00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:36,880 then carbon based all of these other 159 00:05:40,469 --> 00:05:38,400 things that might go into their unique 160 00:05:42,150 --> 00:05:40,479 evolution compared to ours 161 00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:42,160 and then the physics the physics of time 162 00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:44,080 and time travel how might we actually 163 00:05:48,469 --> 00:05:46,560 come back from the future so i really 164 00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:48,479 only touched on a couple of cases just 165 00:05:51,830 --> 00:05:50,160 mentioned jim peniston's because he's 166 00:05:54,790 --> 00:05:51,840 arguing the same thing for very 167 00:05:55,909 --> 00:05:54,800 different reasons uh he received a 168 00:05:57,990 --> 00:05:55,919 download 169 00:05:59,430 --> 00:05:58,000 of binary code in the rendel shim forest 170 00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:59,440 in 1980 171 00:06:02,390 --> 00:06:00,560 and uh 172 00:06:04,710 --> 00:06:02,400 revealed and strongly believes that 173 00:06:06,390 --> 00:06:04,720 these were future human so 174 00:06:08,309 --> 00:06:06,400 i learned about his case right before 175 00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:08,319 publishing that book so kind of put that 176 00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:10,240 in there and one other case that i 177 00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:12,160 really enjoy too the amy rylance 178 00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:14,560 abduction in australia 179 00:06:19,749 --> 00:06:16,319 but otherwise it was really just about 180 00:06:23,029 --> 00:06:19,759 time time travel human evolution so 181 00:06:24,469 --> 00:06:23,039 once covid hit um i i swore i was never 182 00:06:25,909 --> 00:06:24,479 gonna write another book but then i got 183 00:06:27,990 --> 00:06:25,919 extremely bored 184 00:06:29,350 --> 00:06:28,000 and uh decided it was a good time to do 185 00:06:30,790 --> 00:06:29,360 it because everything shut down i'm 186 00:06:32,950 --> 00:06:30,800 teaching online 187 00:06:35,110 --> 00:06:32,960 um and yeah i just took advantage of 188 00:06:37,749 --> 00:06:35,120 that time and and started working on 189 00:06:39,830 --> 00:06:37,759 this and this this most recent book is 190 00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:39,840 as case study so i take those case 191 00:06:44,550 --> 00:06:42,560 studies break them down not just in the 192 00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:44,560 context of this extra tempestual model 193 00:06:48,629 --> 00:06:46,960 but also in the context of 194 00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:48,639 the extraterrestrial hypothesis the 195 00:06:53,110 --> 00:06:49,919 interdimensional 196 00:06:56,390 --> 00:06:53,120 hypothesis ultra-terrestrials um the 197 00:06:59,110 --> 00:06:56,400 jokester the simulation hypothesis just 198 00:07:00,309 --> 00:06:59,120 how how can what we learn from these 199 00:07:02,070 --> 00:07:00,319 cases 200 00:07:04,469 --> 00:07:02,080 fit in with or not fit in with these 201 00:07:06,230 --> 00:07:04,479 various models and mostly critiquing 202 00:07:08,070 --> 00:07:06,240 the extra tempestual model this time 203 00:07:10,710 --> 00:07:08,080 travel model specifically so it's just 204 00:07:13,189 --> 00:07:10,720 um a different approach it ties in a lot 205 00:07:16,629 --> 00:07:13,199 of you know science still but 206 00:07:18,870 --> 00:07:16,639 comes at it from a different perspective 207 00:07:21,430 --> 00:07:18,880 before i start asking you about the 208 00:07:22,710 --> 00:07:21,440 potential behaviors and why these beings 209 00:07:23,589 --> 00:07:22,720 may or may not be doing what they're 210 00:07:25,990 --> 00:07:23,599 doing 211 00:07:27,909 --> 00:07:26,000 i'd like to ask if as a species in in 212 00:07:30,390 --> 00:07:27,919 the year 2022 213 00:07:31,909 --> 00:07:30,400 we discovered time travel we we invented 214 00:07:34,550 --> 00:07:31,919 some form of craft that could take us 215 00:07:35,909 --> 00:07:34,560 back x number of years 216 00:07:38,870 --> 00:07:35,919 do you think we would behave in a 217 00:07:40,790 --> 00:07:38,880 similar way to what we see these beings 218 00:07:43,189 --> 00:07:40,800 and craft doing as i know we're going to 219 00:07:45,270 --> 00:07:43,199 go back several thousand years you know 220 00:07:47,189 --> 00:07:45,280 to biblical times way before are we 221 00:07:49,270 --> 00:07:47,199 going to perform abductions in some way 222 00:07:50,629 --> 00:07:49,280 shape or form what what could that look 223 00:07:52,469 --> 00:07:50,639 like 224 00:07:54,710 --> 00:07:52,479 i think it would look almost identical 225 00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:54,720 and in fact i mentioned that 226 00:07:59,670 --> 00:07:56,720 at the end of my most recent book that 227 00:08:02,230 --> 00:07:59,680 if i as an anthropologist was gifted 228 00:08:03,909 --> 00:08:02,240 time travel technology i would do the 229 00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:03,919 exact same things i would take care 230 00:08:09,029 --> 00:08:06,160 samples skin samples 231 00:08:11,270 --> 00:08:09,039 see sperm and egg gametes uh fecal 232 00:08:14,390 --> 00:08:11,280 samples you can learn so much about what 233 00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:14,400 people ate uh their their gut microbiome 234 00:08:17,990 --> 00:08:16,240 and many other things 235 00:08:20,629 --> 00:08:18,000 um and i and i would do it covertly i 236 00:08:23,189 --> 00:08:20,639 wouldn't want to really interject myself 237 00:08:25,909 --> 00:08:23,199 my research my researchers into that 238 00:08:27,270 --> 00:08:25,919 those past periods too overtly because 239 00:08:30,790 --> 00:08:27,280 not that it's going to create a new 240 00:08:33,430 --> 00:08:30,800 timeline or screw up a timeline but it 241 00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:33,440 adds complexity to our intertemporal 242 00:08:38,630 --> 00:08:36,240 relationships and may reveal something 243 00:08:40,550 --> 00:08:38,640 at a time that that causes intense 244 00:08:43,509 --> 00:08:40,560 ontological shock or disrupts the 245 00:08:45,509 --> 00:08:43,519 society so i think that sort of star 246 00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:45,519 trek ian prime directive 247 00:08:49,509 --> 00:08:47,440 sort of edict approach hands-off 248 00:08:51,910 --> 00:08:49,519 approach to doing this is also 249 00:08:53,670 --> 00:08:51,920 consistent with how we do research and 250 00:08:55,590 --> 00:08:53,680 and the irb the institutional review 251 00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:55,600 board we're required especially with 252 00:08:59,269 --> 00:08:57,120 prisoners children 253 00:09:01,590 --> 00:08:59,279 subjugated groups to get approval before 254 00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:01,600 we can even conduct study so 255 00:09:05,829 --> 00:09:03,920 it almost seems like many of those same 256 00:09:09,590 --> 00:09:05,839 protections and those basic 257 00:09:11,590 --> 00:09:09,600 uh objective research um protocols are 258 00:09:12,949 --> 00:09:11,600 in place the methodologies are similar 259 00:09:14,949 --> 00:09:12,959 but but then you look at the physical 260 00:09:17,430 --> 00:09:14,959 form too i'd be returning a technology 261 00:09:18,230 --> 00:09:17,440 that won't exist for thousands of years 262 00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:18,240 yet 263 00:09:21,910 --> 00:09:20,160 so we're much more advanced than these 264 00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:21,920 beans they may even see us as gods or 265 00:09:26,550 --> 00:09:24,240 deities of some sort because of that 266 00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:26,560 which is also common in these cases uh 267 00:09:31,590 --> 00:09:28,320 throughout antiquity 268 00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:31,600 and the physical form um you know if if 269 00:09:35,910 --> 00:09:33,760 i was a bald man i would look exactly 270 00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:35,920 like these greys to them in many ways 271 00:09:38,790 --> 00:09:37,600 depending how far back we went obviously 272 00:09:41,269 --> 00:09:38,800 farther than three or four thousand 273 00:09:43,110 --> 00:09:41,279 years but you know i would have a bigger 274 00:09:45,590 --> 00:09:43,120 more upright forehead bigger eyes 275 00:09:47,750 --> 00:09:45,600 smaller face um 276 00:09:49,910 --> 00:09:47,760 just a lot of the same characteristics 277 00:09:52,949 --> 00:09:49,920 that are described in these reports with 278 00:09:54,150 --> 00:09:52,959 these quintessential grey aliens but one 279 00:09:56,310 --> 00:09:54,160 thing i discovered in doing this 280 00:09:57,910 --> 00:09:56,320 research is that my first book was 281 00:10:00,310 --> 00:09:57,920 mostly focused on that because i was 282 00:10:01,350 --> 00:10:00,320 inspired as thousands and thousands of 283 00:10:03,430 --> 00:10:01,360 others were 284 00:10:05,269 --> 00:10:03,440 by the the cover of whitley strieber's 285 00:10:07,910 --> 00:10:05,279 book communion as a small child is eight 286 00:10:09,670 --> 00:10:07,920 years old i looked up and saw that and 287 00:10:12,310 --> 00:10:09,680 just saw this connection between our 288 00:10:15,190 --> 00:10:12,320 ancestors ourselves and and these beings 289 00:10:17,030 --> 00:10:15,200 which made me uh wonder if they could be 290 00:10:18,630 --> 00:10:17,040 our distant descendants 291 00:10:21,990 --> 00:10:18,640 so i was sort of starting from that 292 00:10:23,590 --> 00:10:22,000 place where i'm connecting the um 293 00:10:25,750 --> 00:10:23,600 the dots between our past present and 294 00:10:27,509 --> 00:10:25,760 future and morphology but our distant 295 00:10:30,069 --> 00:10:27,519 future and then as i'm doing this 296 00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:30,079 research i'm finding out that 297 00:10:35,430 --> 00:10:33,120 a majority actually more than what's 298 00:10:37,110 --> 00:10:35,440 reported with these greys or or other 299 00:10:39,750 --> 00:10:37,120 beings are actually human and they're 300 00:10:42,389 --> 00:10:39,760 described in the exact same way we 301 00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:42,399 describe ourselves in modern human terms 302 00:10:45,110 --> 00:10:43,120 so 303 00:10:46,389 --> 00:10:45,120 it made me think what if we're coming 304 00:10:47,590 --> 00:10:46,399 back much sooner 305 00:10:49,430 --> 00:10:47,600 than i 306 00:10:50,949 --> 00:10:49,440 originally anticipated people would ask 307 00:10:52,389 --> 00:10:50,959 me all right so these morphological 308 00:10:53,590 --> 00:10:52,399 traits what might that indicate what 309 00:10:55,990 --> 00:10:53,600 time period 310 00:10:57,990 --> 00:10:56,000 and i'd say anywhere between like 20 40 311 00:10:59,829 --> 00:10:58,000 000 years or so just based on past 312 00:11:01,990 --> 00:10:59,839 evolutionary trends but then these 313 00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:02,000 humans could potentially be coming back 314 00:11:06,310 --> 00:11:04,720 from 50 or 100 years in the future and 315 00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:06,320 that might help explain why more of 316 00:11:09,590 --> 00:11:08,000 their morphological characteristics are 317 00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:09,600 so similar to our own 318 00:11:12,550 --> 00:11:11,680 and something else i'd like to mention 319 00:11:15,190 --> 00:11:12,560 there 320 00:11:16,230 --> 00:11:15,200 is that in archaeology we find things 321 00:11:18,630 --> 00:11:16,240 that are 322 00:11:20,949 --> 00:11:18,640 closer to our own present 323 00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:20,959 simply because there's less time less 324 00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:23,440 space for them to get destroyed or moved 325 00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:24,160 or 326 00:11:29,430 --> 00:11:27,200 uh lost anything like that so so a good 327 00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:29,440 analogy is with your your neighbors you 328 00:11:32,470 --> 00:11:30,640 see people 329 00:11:35,430 --> 00:11:32,480 in your neighborhood more often than you 330 00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:35,440 see someone from kenya or zimbabwe or 331 00:11:39,430 --> 00:11:37,440 south korea just because you're closer 332 00:11:41,430 --> 00:11:39,440 in space to those people the same would 333 00:11:43,990 --> 00:11:41,440 apply in time we would expect to see 334 00:11:45,350 --> 00:11:44,000 people closer to our position in time if 335 00:11:46,710 --> 00:11:45,360 they're coming back from the future 336 00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:46,720 simply because of that temporal 337 00:11:51,350 --> 00:11:49,360 proximity whereas the the greys which i 338 00:11:53,269 --> 00:11:51,360 argue are more distant temporal 339 00:11:55,829 --> 00:11:53,279 descendant we see them less often 340 00:11:58,470 --> 00:11:55,839 because we're just a small blip to them 341 00:12:00,389 --> 00:11:58,480 in the vastness of their past so i think 342 00:12:01,829 --> 00:12:00,399 that kind of helps explain what i refer 343 00:12:04,150 --> 00:12:01,839 to as temporal variation the 344 00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:04,160 morphological differences but also why 345 00:12:07,030 --> 00:12:05,040 we see 346 00:12:08,949 --> 00:12:07,040 more modern looking humans 347 00:12:10,870 --> 00:12:08,959 at a higher frequency than 348 00:12:12,949 --> 00:12:10,880 these greys the the more distant future 349 00:12:15,750 --> 00:12:12,959 humans as i argue 350 00:12:17,110 --> 00:12:15,760 does that level of technical advancement 351 00:12:18,790 --> 00:12:17,120 and 352 00:12:22,710 --> 00:12:18,800 superiority 353 00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:22,720 justify any moral obligation to 354 00:12:26,470 --> 00:12:24,480 going back and as covet as you say you 355 00:12:28,310 --> 00:12:26,480 would try to be you're still potentially 356 00:12:31,190 --> 00:12:28,320 going to be plucking someone from you 357 00:12:33,350 --> 00:12:31,200 know neanderthal stage onto a craft they 358 00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:33,360 don't know performing some sort of 359 00:12:36,790 --> 00:12:34,560 experiment in the same way that 360 00:12:38,629 --> 00:12:36,800 abductees claim they can be they can 361 00:12:40,150 --> 00:12:38,639 have very unpleasant experiences they 362 00:12:42,790 --> 00:12:40,160 aren't all pleasant as some people 363 00:12:47,269 --> 00:12:42,800 report as there is the greater good 364 00:12:51,110 --> 00:12:48,710 yeah that's a great question and 365 00:12:52,870 --> 00:12:51,120 something i and my colleagues struggle 366 00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:52,880 with uh tremendously i just gave a 367 00:12:57,910 --> 00:12:55,440 presentation at the esselyn institute in 368 00:13:00,230 --> 00:12:57,920 big sur california last week 369 00:13:02,870 --> 00:13:00,240 and one of the questions from 370 00:13:05,430 --> 00:13:02,880 a fellow phd inside in psychology i 371 00:13:07,430 --> 00:13:05,440 guess um was like so should we 372 00:13:09,670 --> 00:13:07,440 should we assume the irb doesn't exist 373 00:13:11,269 --> 00:13:09,680 in the future basically asking that same 374 00:13:12,710 --> 00:13:11,279 question because the institutional 375 00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:12,720 review board it's funny i just mentioned 376 00:13:17,590 --> 00:13:15,440 this uh are the ones that monitor 377 00:13:20,069 --> 00:13:17,600 research so we're not repeating the 378 00:13:22,310 --> 00:13:20,079 stanford prison experiments or the the 379 00:13:24,389 --> 00:13:22,320 milgram electro shock experiments and 380 00:13:26,629 --> 00:13:24,399 really doing damage to people 381 00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:26,639 however with that said and why he asked 382 00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:28,720 this is because i described some of the 383 00:13:31,750 --> 00:13:30,320 things that happened and they are 384 00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:31,760 arguably 385 00:13:34,389 --> 00:13:33,680 unethical 386 00:13:35,750 --> 00:13:34,399 so 387 00:13:37,990 --> 00:13:35,760 you know how 388 00:13:39,750 --> 00:13:38,000 if you if you continually impregnate and 389 00:13:42,069 --> 00:13:39,760 take a developing fetus out of someone 390 00:13:43,829 --> 00:13:42,079 throughout a 40-year period there's 391 00:13:44,790 --> 00:13:43,839 ethical issues there 392 00:13:46,870 --> 00:13:44,800 um 393 00:13:48,790 --> 00:13:46,880 even taking you know sperm and eggs just 394 00:13:50,470 --> 00:13:48,800 touching people in their no no square 395 00:13:52,069 --> 00:13:50,480 repeatedly throughout their lives like 396 00:13:52,870 --> 00:13:52,079 all of these things 397 00:13:56,069 --> 00:13:52,880 are 398 00:13:57,990 --> 00:13:56,079 unethical as as we see them so 399 00:13:58,870 --> 00:13:58,000 it almost makes me think and i'm just 400 00:14:00,710 --> 00:13:58,880 kind of 401 00:14:02,389 --> 00:14:00,720 speculating here because i don't know 402 00:14:03,750 --> 00:14:02,399 and there's no way i can know 403 00:14:06,470 --> 00:14:03,760 but based on 404 00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:06,480 research into a number of these cases it 405 00:14:10,069 --> 00:14:08,399 almost seems like what they're doing 406 00:14:11,829 --> 00:14:10,079 they consider to be important enough 407 00:14:13,910 --> 00:14:11,839 that they can sidestep some of those 408 00:14:15,189 --> 00:14:13,920 moral quandaries that innately come 409 00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:15,199 along with this 410 00:14:18,949 --> 00:14:17,360 and and perhaps in some cases especially 411 00:14:20,790 --> 00:14:18,959 as it relates to reproduction in our 412 00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:20,800 gametes and gaming extractions and 413 00:14:25,750 --> 00:14:23,440 zygote and fetal extractions 414 00:14:27,030 --> 00:14:25,760 almost seems like they they have to 415 00:14:28,629 --> 00:14:27,040 there's something 416 00:14:31,350 --> 00:14:28,639 that's happened in the future that 417 00:14:32,629 --> 00:14:31,360 requires them to do this and and it's 418 00:14:35,430 --> 00:14:32,639 good that you mention that not all of 419 00:14:37,829 --> 00:14:35,440 them are positive 85 percent based on 420 00:14:40,790 --> 00:14:37,839 the dr edgar mitchell freeze study 421 00:14:42,150 --> 00:14:40,800 a survey of almost 4 000 abductees and 422 00:14:44,629 --> 00:14:42,160 contactees 423 00:14:46,310 --> 00:14:44,639 showed the 85 percent of people who 424 00:14:48,470 --> 00:14:46,320 interacted with the more human-like 425 00:14:49,590 --> 00:14:48,480 beings had a positive or neutral 426 00:14:50,629 --> 00:14:49,600 experience 427 00:14:51,910 --> 00:14:50,639 and how you can have a neutral 428 00:14:54,389 --> 00:14:51,920 experience when something like this 429 00:14:55,910 --> 00:14:54,399 happens i have no idea because it seems 430 00:14:58,150 --> 00:14:55,920 like it would be impactful in one way or 431 00:15:00,710 --> 00:14:58,160 another but only five percent actually 432 00:15:02,470 --> 00:15:00,720 had a negative experience so it does 433 00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:02,480 happen and you know terry lovelace is a 434 00:15:06,870 --> 00:15:04,480 great example of someone who had a very 435 00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:06,880 negative experience throughout his life 436 00:15:11,670 --> 00:15:10,079 um but but you have to wonder too if if 437 00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:11,680 that's because 438 00:15:15,430 --> 00:15:12,880 we can see 439 00:15:17,590 --> 00:15:15,440 ourselves and our humanity more 440 00:15:19,189 --> 00:15:17,600 if we're closer together in time and as 441 00:15:20,629 --> 00:15:19,199 they get farther out and we seem more 442 00:15:22,790 --> 00:15:20,639 primitive in the same way that we used 443 00:15:24,389 --> 00:15:22,800 to do experiments on chimps and now it's 444 00:15:26,389 --> 00:15:24,399 been outlawed pretty much 445 00:15:29,189 --> 00:15:26,399 internationally we start to see our 446 00:15:30,870 --> 00:15:29,199 humanness in them more so maybe farther 447 00:15:33,990 --> 00:15:30,880 out in time the ones that are more 448 00:15:35,749 --> 00:15:34,000 mantis like or the sort of tall grays 449 00:15:38,829 --> 00:15:35,759 that have even more derived traits 450 00:15:41,350 --> 00:15:38,839 bigger eyes and just this this deeper 451 00:15:43,590 --> 00:15:41,360 consciousness maybe our our relative 452 00:15:46,150 --> 00:15:43,600 primitiveness gives them a bit of a hall 453 00:15:48,710 --> 00:15:46,160 pass in that regard um i don't know i 454 00:15:50,389 --> 00:15:48,720 it's i i guess i'm i have to answer that 455 00:15:51,749 --> 00:15:50,399 question by saying i don't 456 00:15:53,110 --> 00:15:51,759 really have an answer i'm just kind of 457 00:15:56,069 --> 00:15:53,120 spitballing on 458 00:15:58,150 --> 00:15:56,079 on what i think based on um these cases 459 00:16:00,150 --> 00:15:58,160 but but yeah there's there's real moral 460 00:16:02,550 --> 00:16:00,160 and ethical issues that 461 00:16:04,550 --> 00:16:02,560 that definitely should be talked about 462 00:16:06,389 --> 00:16:04,560 and i'm glad we are but 463 00:16:08,389 --> 00:16:06,399 i don't know if it'll 464 00:16:10,069 --> 00:16:08,399 i don't know how you resolve that or if 465 00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:10,079 you even can 466 00:16:13,670 --> 00:16:11,680 i don't know if this necessarily 467 00:16:15,670 --> 00:16:13,680 resolves it but thinking about our own 468 00:16:18,230 --> 00:16:15,680 technologies got to a place where i i've 469 00:16:20,949 --> 00:16:18,240 seen quite a few nature documentaries 470 00:16:23,509 --> 00:16:20,959 where what we do is send a robot that 471 00:16:26,069 --> 00:16:23,519 looks like a tuna fish or a dolphin or a 472 00:16:28,150 --> 00:16:26,079 sea turtle into those habitats to to 473 00:16:30,949 --> 00:16:28,160 almost blend in and not disturb the the 474 00:16:33,189 --> 00:16:30,959 wildlife and i wonder would sufficiently 475 00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:33,199 advanced beings from the future could 476 00:16:38,230 --> 00:16:35,680 they almost sidestep that sort of 477 00:16:40,550 --> 00:16:38,240 morality by and we hear these greys at 478 00:16:42,949 --> 00:16:40,560 times almost being quite robotic and and 479 00:16:45,990 --> 00:16:42,959 soulless in nature could be very 480 00:16:48,069 --> 00:16:46,000 advanced biological robots almost 481 00:16:50,389 --> 00:16:48,079 and they're performing tasks that 482 00:16:51,990 --> 00:16:50,399 they're literally created for and that 483 00:16:53,829 --> 00:16:52,000 that kind of gets around that any kind 484 00:16:55,269 --> 00:16:53,839 of feeling of having to do it and in a 485 00:16:57,670 --> 00:16:55,279 way i suppose we would do something 486 00:17:00,470 --> 00:16:57,680 quite similar and a way of experimenting 487 00:17:01,509 --> 00:17:00,480 but taking away that kind of human 488 00:17:04,069 --> 00:17:01,519 guilt 489 00:17:06,309 --> 00:17:04,079 yeah i mean well it kind of becomes a 490 00:17:08,309 --> 00:17:06,319 deeper question of what is ai too and 491 00:17:10,630 --> 00:17:08,319 what level of consciousness 492 00:17:11,909 --> 00:17:10,640 does ai have because if we're talking 493 00:17:13,750 --> 00:17:11,919 about 494 00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:13,760 humans that build these and and send 495 00:17:16,710 --> 00:17:15,280 them and i've seen those documentaries 496 00:17:18,470 --> 00:17:16,720 too and they're awesome where they put 497 00:17:20,390 --> 00:17:18,480 cameras and like little baby elephants 498 00:17:22,710 --> 00:17:20,400 and things there's actually one where 499 00:17:25,350 --> 00:17:22,720 they made a langer which is a kind of 500 00:17:27,669 --> 00:17:25,360 primate that lives in the far east and 501 00:17:30,070 --> 00:17:27,679 it got knocked off a branch and fell and 502 00:17:32,150 --> 00:17:30,080 broke and it you know the other langers 503 00:17:33,430 --> 00:17:32,160 who treated it like one of their group 504 00:17:34,870 --> 00:17:33,440 thought it was dead so they all come 505 00:17:35,909 --> 00:17:34,880 around and they're hugging and giving 506 00:17:38,230 --> 00:17:35,919 each other 507 00:17:40,230 --> 00:17:38,240 comfort because this little robotic 508 00:17:41,590 --> 00:17:40,240 camera monkey died 509 00:17:42,710 --> 00:17:41,600 i don't know why i felt obligated to 510 00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:42,720 tell you that right now i guess it was 511 00:17:46,310 --> 00:17:44,320 just kind of cute 512 00:17:48,870 --> 00:17:46,320 it's totally relevant no the one i it is 513 00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:48,880 relevant and it was adorable and and sad 514 00:17:54,230 --> 00:17:51,520 at the same time um so no i i mean i 515 00:17:56,789 --> 00:17:54,240 don't really think we need to get into 516 00:17:59,190 --> 00:17:56,799 his ai conscious and if it was would it 517 00:18:01,350 --> 00:17:59,200 have morals and ethics is kind of that 518 00:18:03,029 --> 00:18:01,360 blade runner thing or like that that 519 00:18:05,270 --> 00:18:03,039 google worker that just got fired 520 00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:05,280 because he was convinced that you know 521 00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:06,720 that and i read that interview and it 522 00:18:09,430 --> 00:18:07,679 was 523 00:18:11,750 --> 00:18:09,440 convincing you know i'd want to hang out 524 00:18:14,549 --> 00:18:11,760 with this robot drink a beer and figure 525 00:18:17,029 --> 00:18:14,559 out what it thinks about itself and ego 526 00:18:19,270 --> 00:18:17,039 in a larger sense but 527 00:18:20,470 --> 00:18:19,280 um yeah i mean even if we are creating 528 00:18:22,230 --> 00:18:20,480 something 529 00:18:24,470 --> 00:18:22,240 and sending it in 530 00:18:26,390 --> 00:18:24,480 if we're trying to limit our impact and 531 00:18:28,390 --> 00:18:26,400 we know it does have an impact i think 532 00:18:29,350 --> 00:18:28,400 it's still our moral issue 533 00:18:32,789 --> 00:18:29,360 it's not 534 00:18:35,669 --> 00:18:32,799 physically doing things if we're 535 00:18:39,190 --> 00:18:35,679 creating it and using it as this tool 536 00:18:43,430 --> 00:18:39,200 um i think the the ethical 537 00:18:44,150 --> 00:18:43,440 conundrum still still lies with us um 538 00:18:46,630 --> 00:18:44,160 but 539 00:18:48,310 --> 00:18:46,640 with that said i mean 540 00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:48,320 i don't know it's so tough like even in 541 00:18:52,710 --> 00:18:50,640 discussing this i i talked about this a 542 00:18:54,390 --> 00:18:52,720 lot in my most recent book 543 00:18:56,549 --> 00:18:54,400 but really in the same way this 544 00:18:58,710 --> 00:18:56,559 conversation has unfolded don't really 545 00:19:00,150 --> 00:18:58,720 have any answers i just think it's 546 00:19:02,150 --> 00:19:00,160 important to talk about and sort of 547 00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:02,160 frame our own perceptions because 548 00:19:07,110 --> 00:19:04,720 there are no universal human rights 549 00:19:09,909 --> 00:19:07,120 there are no universal ethics we don't 550 00:19:12,950 --> 00:19:09,919 have that and it may not even be 551 00:19:15,110 --> 00:19:12,960 possible we may never want that because 552 00:19:16,630 --> 00:19:15,120 giving you know rights to this person 553 00:19:19,029 --> 00:19:16,640 does it take them away from that person 554 00:19:21,190 --> 00:19:19,039 and how you circle that square so 555 00:19:22,630 --> 00:19:21,200 there's deeper issues involved 556 00:19:24,789 --> 00:19:22,640 um but 557 00:19:26,310 --> 00:19:24,799 but there are definitely 558 00:19:27,830 --> 00:19:26,320 robots i don't think the greys are 559 00:19:29,909 --> 00:19:27,840 robots i think they're biological 560 00:19:33,430 --> 00:19:29,919 entities i think they're more evolved 561 00:19:35,909 --> 00:19:33,440 humans but i do think they make and use 562 00:19:38,630 --> 00:19:35,919 artificial intelligence um whitley 563 00:19:41,669 --> 00:19:38,640 strieber is convinced he was abducted 564 00:19:43,350 --> 00:19:41,679 initially by little droids little robots 565 00:19:45,750 --> 00:19:43,360 it's undoubtedly the case in the 566 00:19:47,830 --> 00:19:45,760 pascagoula incident with calvin parker 567 00:19:50,870 --> 00:19:47,840 and charles hickson they described them 568 00:19:53,190 --> 00:19:50,880 as robots as well in other cases as well 569 00:19:55,190 --> 00:19:53,200 so i do think that's a component of it 570 00:19:57,430 --> 00:19:55,200 but i don't think it really changes the 571 00:19:59,350 --> 00:19:57,440 ethical issues at all 572 00:20:01,510 --> 00:19:59,360 and again on that and moving into the 573 00:20:03,510 --> 00:20:01,520 next question do you think that the 574 00:20:06,149 --> 00:20:03,520 length of time that these beings may be 575 00:20:08,470 --> 00:20:06,159 coming from would potentially lessen the 576 00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:08,480 impact of any changes being made 577 00:20:13,510 --> 00:20:10,720 obviously if i travel back in time 50 to 578 00:20:15,430 --> 00:20:13,520 100 years civilization while it might 579 00:20:18,149 --> 00:20:15,440 look a bit dated would still be quite 580 00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:18,159 recognizable but as you go back 500 to a 581 00:20:22,630 --> 00:20:20,480 thousand one and a half then into tens 582 00:20:25,270 --> 00:20:22,640 of thousands of years ago and you see 583 00:20:26,789 --> 00:20:25,280 human species devolve 584 00:20:29,029 --> 00:20:26,799 is there less of 585 00:20:31,350 --> 00:20:29,039 a feeling of that connection with with 586 00:20:33,510 --> 00:20:31,360 those beings and i wonder if we have a 587 00:20:35,270 --> 00:20:33,520 species that's coming from you mentioned 588 00:20:37,110 --> 00:20:35,280 it could be 50 to 100 years but 589 00:20:38,470 --> 00:20:37,120 conversely could be a hundred thousand 590 00:20:39,990 --> 00:20:38,480 years in the future 591 00:20:43,190 --> 00:20:40,000 would they even feel that connection 592 00:20:46,870 --> 00:20:43,200 with us at all that they would care 593 00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:46,880 i think so um i do think there's 594 00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:49,520 not just within humans but a 595 00:20:53,909 --> 00:20:51,760 consciousness that we share with all 596 00:20:55,510 --> 00:20:53,919 living beings 597 00:20:58,310 --> 00:20:55,520 and and without sounding like too much 598 00:21:00,310 --> 00:20:58,320 of a hippie um you can feel that with 599 00:21:02,310 --> 00:21:00,320 obviously animals we've domesticated and 600 00:21:03,990 --> 00:21:02,320 we've nurtured that pro-social 601 00:21:05,750 --> 00:21:04,000 characteristic with 602 00:21:07,590 --> 00:21:05,760 uh you can look at your dog's eyes you 603 00:21:09,029 --> 00:21:07,600 know you can see the empathy in them and 604 00:21:10,950 --> 00:21:09,039 how they treat other animals like the 605 00:21:12,310 --> 00:21:10,960 langers i just mentioned you know we 606 00:21:14,310 --> 00:21:12,320 that's something we share with them we 607 00:21:16,789 --> 00:21:14,320 hug we kiss we 608 00:21:19,750 --> 00:21:16,799 have closeness with each other in times 609 00:21:21,909 --> 00:21:19,760 of grief the exact same way they do um 610 00:21:23,990 --> 00:21:21,919 so so i do think even if they were from 611 00:21:25,510 --> 00:21:24,000 a very distant point in the future like 612 00:21:27,110 --> 00:21:25,520 we didn't share a common ancestor with 613 00:21:30,950 --> 00:21:27,120 langers for 614 00:21:32,870 --> 00:21:30,960 probably 25 30 million years 615 00:21:34,870 --> 00:21:32,880 yet we still have that same 616 00:21:37,510 --> 00:21:34,880 characteristic we still have that show 617 00:21:40,630 --> 00:21:37,520 of love and empathy so even if we're 618 00:21:43,350 --> 00:21:40,640 talking about 50 000 years 100 000 years 619 00:21:45,909 --> 00:21:43,360 in the future i i do think that we share 620 00:21:48,230 --> 00:21:45,919 enough with regards to our physical form 621 00:21:50,870 --> 00:21:48,240 and our consciousness that we would not 622 00:21:52,310 --> 00:21:50,880 be treated as equals obviously but 623 00:21:55,750 --> 00:21:52,320 um 624 00:22:01,270 --> 00:21:58,070 yeah i don't know i think it maybe does 625 00:22:03,190 --> 00:22:01,280 give them a bit more of a pass but 626 00:22:05,669 --> 00:22:03,200 i i don't think at any point they would 627 00:22:06,710 --> 00:22:05,679 just stop seeing us as humans altogether 628 00:22:08,390 --> 00:22:06,720 and just feel like they could do 629 00:22:10,549 --> 00:22:08,400 whatever they wanted and it doesn't seem 630 00:22:13,830 --> 00:22:10,559 like that from abductions either for the 631 00:22:15,830 --> 00:22:13,840 most part one question that came in over 632 00:22:16,789 --> 00:22:15,840 and over again from different listeners 633 00:22:19,190 --> 00:22:16,799 was 634 00:22:21,029 --> 00:22:19,200 why do you think any future civilization 635 00:22:23,590 --> 00:22:21,039 would have to travel back 636 00:22:26,070 --> 00:22:23,600 with our modern times being so well 637 00:22:27,909 --> 00:22:26,080 documented albeit through the medium of 638 00:22:30,230 --> 00:22:27,919 today we've got the internet we've got 639 00:22:33,430 --> 00:22:30,240 you know books we had dvds that are on 640 00:22:35,029 --> 00:22:33,440 the way out mp3s digital files and all 641 00:22:37,430 --> 00:22:35,039 kinds of all kinds of weird and 642 00:22:39,350 --> 00:22:37,440 wonderful mediums we're storing data on 643 00:22:41,750 --> 00:22:39,360 why would they have to travel back to 644 00:22:44,310 --> 00:22:41,760 document or observe 645 00:22:46,630 --> 00:22:44,320 well i don't think they would for 646 00:22:48,630 --> 00:22:46,640 more proximate humans 647 00:22:50,470 --> 00:22:48,640 um however it's not really just about 648 00:22:52,950 --> 00:22:50,480 studying ourselves there seems to be an 649 00:22:55,110 --> 00:22:52,960 ecological component to this too 650 00:22:57,430 --> 00:22:55,120 the first case study i talked about in 651 00:22:58,870 --> 00:22:57,440 my new book mike and leo dwarshak in 652 00:23:00,390 --> 00:22:58,880 south dakota 653 00:23:02,549 --> 00:23:00,400 the the individuals they were 654 00:23:05,029 --> 00:23:02,559 interacting with who were very much just 655 00:23:07,270 --> 00:23:05,039 like us uh slightly more advanced but 656 00:23:09,110 --> 00:23:07,280 still modern humans were picking up 657 00:23:10,230 --> 00:23:09,120 grasshoppers in the same place over 658 00:23:12,149 --> 00:23:10,240 decades 659 00:23:14,390 --> 00:23:12,159 and it was because they were studying 660 00:23:16,470 --> 00:23:14,400 ecology and especially after we started 661 00:23:17,430 --> 00:23:16,480 launching nukes if if they inherit this 662 00:23:19,190 --> 00:23:17,440 planet 663 00:23:21,270 --> 00:23:19,200 they're going to want to know what's 664 00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:21,280 happening to it leading up to them 665 00:23:26,230 --> 00:23:23,760 taking it over their stakeholders in the 666 00:23:27,110 --> 00:23:26,240 future of this planet so i think that 667 00:23:29,510 --> 00:23:27,120 helps 668 00:23:31,590 --> 00:23:29,520 sort of explain this model a little bit 669 00:23:33,190 --> 00:23:31,600 in a different sense that it's you know 670 00:23:35,029 --> 00:23:33,200 i mostly as an anthropologist and i 671 00:23:36,710 --> 00:23:35,039 acknowledge my biases all the time when 672 00:23:38,070 --> 00:23:36,720 people are like why why would we go back 673 00:23:39,510 --> 00:23:38,080 in time and this is essentially that 674 00:23:41,350 --> 00:23:39,520 same question 675 00:23:42,950 --> 00:23:41,360 um but more about an archive thing that 676 00:23:45,990 --> 00:23:42,960 we'll get to in a second 677 00:23:48,630 --> 00:23:46,000 um but we we innately want to know about 678 00:23:51,110 --> 00:23:48,640 our past that's what anthropologists do 679 00:23:53,830 --> 00:23:51,120 we study humans now and throughout the 680 00:23:55,750 --> 00:23:53,840 past how did we get to be the way we are 681 00:23:58,149 --> 00:23:55,760 why are our behaviors this way what how 682 00:23:59,909 --> 00:23:58,159 did culture and technology evolve to be 683 00:24:01,990 --> 00:23:59,919 more complex over time beginning with 684 00:24:04,310 --> 00:24:02,000 the first stone tools three million 685 00:24:06,070 --> 00:24:04,320 years ago um so we're neatly interested 686 00:24:07,990 --> 00:24:06,080 in those questions and like i said if i 687 00:24:10,789 --> 00:24:08,000 had a time machine i would be doing very 688 00:24:12,390 --> 00:24:10,799 similar to identical things but it seems 689 00:24:13,830 --> 00:24:12,400 to be much more than that 690 00:24:15,590 --> 00:24:13,840 and there could be a time tourism 691 00:24:17,830 --> 00:24:15,600 component as i talked about in my first 692 00:24:19,750 --> 00:24:17,840 book it could be people paying to go 693 00:24:22,390 --> 00:24:19,760 back and see these things firsthand they 694 00:24:24,310 --> 00:24:22,400 know that world war ii happened but they 695 00:24:26,070 --> 00:24:24,320 want to see something during world war 696 00:24:28,149 --> 00:24:26,080 ii they know the pyramids are there we 697 00:24:30,070 --> 00:24:28,159 have records we have the rosetta stone 698 00:24:31,750 --> 00:24:30,080 we can even translate what's being 699 00:24:32,630 --> 00:24:31,760 written but people would want to see 700 00:24:34,549 --> 00:24:32,640 that 701 00:24:35,669 --> 00:24:34,559 so i think some aspects of the ufo 702 00:24:37,590 --> 00:24:35,679 phenomenon 703 00:24:38,390 --> 00:24:37,600 could be explained in that capacity too 704 00:24:39,590 --> 00:24:38,400 but 705 00:24:41,510 --> 00:24:39,600 uh 706 00:24:44,070 --> 00:24:41,520 yeah we do have archives digital 707 00:24:47,029 --> 00:24:44,080 archives for anyone who spends a lot of 708 00:24:48,149 --> 00:24:47,039 time writing or podcasting or video 709 00:24:51,430 --> 00:24:48,159 editing 710 00:24:54,310 --> 00:24:51,440 uh it is fleeting it doesn't exist in in 711 00:24:56,390 --> 00:24:54,320 a physical form it's it's 712 00:24:58,830 --> 00:24:56,400 numbers it's digital and even if it is 713 00:25:01,830 --> 00:24:58,840 in a physical form what's the thing that 714 00:25:03,750 --> 00:25:01,840 destroys uh things most war 715 00:25:06,390 --> 00:25:03,760 and every time we see this all the time 716 00:25:08,630 --> 00:25:06,400 the when uh al qaeda went into iraq they 717 00:25:10,630 --> 00:25:08,640 were blowing up you know monuments that 718 00:25:13,590 --> 00:25:10,640 didn't fit with their conceptualization 719 00:25:16,230 --> 00:25:13,600 of of religion and politics just here in 720 00:25:17,909 --> 00:25:16,240 the united states some people blew up 721 00:25:19,669 --> 00:25:17,919 something in georgia like some of these 722 00:25:21,909 --> 00:25:19,679 georgia gates gates 723 00:25:23,110 --> 00:25:21,919 yeah yeah and it just said something 724 00:25:24,870 --> 00:25:23,120 they didn't agree with i don't know all 725 00:25:27,269 --> 00:25:24,880 the details i probably should as an 726 00:25:29,190 --> 00:25:27,279 american citizen but they blew it up 727 00:25:30,710 --> 00:25:29,200 they tried to destroy this thing because 728 00:25:32,390 --> 00:25:30,720 it didn't fit with their worldview we do 729 00:25:34,230 --> 00:25:32,400 this all the time 730 00:25:36,070 --> 00:25:34,240 i've lived in france three times and you 731 00:25:37,669 --> 00:25:36,080 walk around and you can see 732 00:25:40,470 --> 00:25:37,679 all of the things that were destroyed in 733 00:25:42,549 --> 00:25:40,480 world war ii and rebuilt a lot of them 734 00:25:44,230 --> 00:25:42,559 are libraries archives things just and 735 00:25:47,430 --> 00:25:44,240 that's not even that long ago you know 736 00:25:48,950 --> 00:25:47,440 that's like 75 80 years ago so so i do 737 00:25:51,110 --> 00:25:48,960 think even though we have the ability to 738 00:25:54,070 --> 00:25:51,120 archive those archives aren't going to 739 00:25:55,750 --> 00:25:54,080 hold up over a very long period of time 740 00:25:56,950 --> 00:25:55,760 because they just haven't so far and i 741 00:25:59,590 --> 00:25:56,960 don't care what 742 00:26:02,149 --> 00:25:59,600 form of digital digitization or any 743 00:26:03,830 --> 00:26:02,159 other method we have to archive things 744 00:26:05,430 --> 00:26:03,840 i i just don't see it lasting into the 745 00:26:07,430 --> 00:26:05,440 deep future 746 00:26:09,909 --> 00:26:07,440 do you think it's likely we're seeing 747 00:26:12,789 --> 00:26:09,919 beings coming from one future time 748 00:26:14,630 --> 00:26:12,799 period or multiple future time periods 749 00:26:17,669 --> 00:26:14,640 because in my head i think of time as 750 00:26:19,669 --> 00:26:17,679 being you know a to b to c to d and if 751 00:26:22,549 --> 00:26:19,679 people at point e have invented time 752 00:26:24,710 --> 00:26:22,559 travel and coming back then surely f and 753 00:26:27,669 --> 00:26:24,720 g and h and everything subsequently 754 00:26:32,710 --> 00:26:30,149 uh i do yeah and and 755 00:26:33,909 --> 00:26:32,720 a comparison i like to make is is fire 756 00:26:35,350 --> 00:26:33,919 and tools 757 00:26:38,310 --> 00:26:35,360 like as i mentioned the first stone 758 00:26:39,110 --> 00:26:38,320 tools were about three million years ago 759 00:26:41,110 --> 00:26:39,120 and 760 00:26:43,110 --> 00:26:41,120 everything we have today mechanical 761 00:26:45,510 --> 00:26:43,120 pencils the computers that we're talking 762 00:26:47,909 --> 00:26:45,520 on right now are the direct descendants 763 00:26:49,990 --> 00:26:47,919 of those first stone tools we've just 764 00:26:52,950 --> 00:26:50,000 had dissent with modification and we've 765 00:26:53,990 --> 00:26:52,960 increased the complexity of these tools 766 00:26:55,830 --> 00:26:54,000 but 767 00:26:58,149 --> 00:26:55,840 they're still built upon that same 768 00:27:00,470 --> 00:26:58,159 foundation that was laid by 769 00:27:01,590 --> 00:27:00,480 most likely homo habilis 3 million years 770 00:27:02,390 --> 00:27:01,600 ago 771 00:27:04,070 --> 00:27:02,400 so 772 00:27:05,029 --> 00:27:04,080 the same thing i think exists with time 773 00:27:06,549 --> 00:27:05,039 travel 774 00:27:08,149 --> 00:27:06,559 if we ever do 775 00:27:09,669 --> 00:27:08,159 develop the capacity to do it and 776 00:27:12,549 --> 00:27:09,679 there's nothing in the laws of physics 777 00:27:14,630 --> 00:27:12,559 that that prohibits backward time travel 778 00:27:16,230 --> 00:27:14,640 so inevitably i think we will figure it 779 00:27:18,070 --> 00:27:16,240 out and i don't think it'll be that long 780 00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:18,080 anymore that's sort of a realization 781 00:27:21,190 --> 00:27:19,520 from researching 782 00:27:22,870 --> 00:27:21,200 uh doing research for this last book i 783 00:27:24,549 --> 00:27:22,880 think it's going to be much sooner 784 00:27:26,710 --> 00:27:24,559 possibly even within our lifetimes and 785 00:27:28,389 --> 00:27:26,720 it feels crazy to say that after 786 00:27:29,909 --> 00:27:28,399 focusing so much on the grays in the 787 00:27:32,549 --> 00:27:29,919 first book but 788 00:27:35,269 --> 00:27:32,559 um once we have that technology it just 789 00:27:37,590 --> 00:27:35,279 like fire tools everything else that's 790 00:27:39,510 --> 00:27:37,600 contributed so much to humans and our 791 00:27:41,669 --> 00:27:39,520 development i don't think we're going to 792 00:27:44,789 --> 00:27:41,679 get rid of it i think it'll be around 793 00:27:46,149 --> 00:27:44,799 for a very very long time and i do think 794 00:27:48,789 --> 00:27:46,159 they're coming from different periods 795 00:27:50,789 --> 00:27:48,799 and i do think that helps explain 796 00:27:53,190 --> 00:27:50,799 the temporal variation that we see why 797 00:27:54,789 --> 00:27:53,200 some look just like us some look like us 798 00:27:56,789 --> 00:27:54,799 but slightly bigger heads that have 799 00:27:58,870 --> 00:27:56,799 telepathic abilities which seems to be 800 00:28:00,230 --> 00:27:58,880 an aspect of the mind or consciousness 801 00:28:02,470 --> 00:28:00,240 that will develop 802 00:28:03,990 --> 00:28:02,480 in the deeper future 803 00:28:05,430 --> 00:28:04,000 and then once you get into the ones with 804 00:28:08,070 --> 00:28:05,440 the really big heads the lack of 805 00:28:10,630 --> 00:28:08,080 pigmentation small bodies some are even 806 00:28:13,909 --> 00:28:10,640 described as not having sex organs being 807 00:28:15,590 --> 00:28:13,919 asexual in their physiology um that 808 00:28:17,750 --> 00:28:15,600 would seem to be a very distant point in 809 00:28:18,950 --> 00:28:17,760 the future but still using time travel 810 00:28:20,710 --> 00:28:18,960 technology 811 00:28:22,470 --> 00:28:20,720 to get back to what is a more distant 812 00:28:24,070 --> 00:28:22,480 point in their own past 813 00:28:25,350 --> 00:28:24,080 what was the moment in your research 814 00:28:27,990 --> 00:28:25,360 that you 815 00:28:30,389 --> 00:28:28,000 decided to change that actually this 816 00:28:32,470 --> 00:28:30,399 technology could be much closer than 817 00:28:34,470 --> 00:28:32,480 than you first thought 818 00:28:36,389 --> 00:28:34,480 it was pretty recent i was almost done 819 00:28:38,070 --> 00:28:36,399 writing this last book i'd say it was 820 00:28:40,950 --> 00:28:38,080 only in the last 821 00:28:42,950 --> 00:28:40,960 i don't know six to eight months or so 822 00:28:46,070 --> 00:28:42,960 i just and that's what was so great 823 00:28:47,830 --> 00:28:46,080 about this approach um it took and and 824 00:28:50,470 --> 00:28:47,840 this wasn't a play on words though it is 825 00:28:53,269 --> 00:28:50,480 kind of a funny coincidence an abductive 826 00:28:55,350 --> 00:28:53,279 approach which is a method for doing 827 00:28:58,070 --> 00:28:55,360 research where it's not like inductive 828 00:29:01,029 --> 00:28:58,080 or deductive but you just look at 829 00:29:02,950 --> 00:29:01,039 everything uh and try to make an 830 00:29:05,269 --> 00:29:02,960 inference to the best explanation you 831 00:29:06,870 --> 00:29:05,279 try to have the most logical explanation 832 00:29:09,269 --> 00:29:06,880 you're not saying 833 00:29:11,590 --> 00:29:09,279 that you definitely know this thing 834 00:29:13,269 --> 00:29:11,600 but it's kind of an occam's razor 835 00:29:14,789 --> 00:29:13,279 situation where this seems to be the 836 00:29:16,470 --> 00:29:14,799 simplest explanation so that's the 837 00:29:18,630 --> 00:29:16,480 approach i took 838 00:29:21,110 --> 00:29:18,640 and in writing this book i had 15 case 839 00:29:22,310 --> 00:29:21,120 studies there's introduction conclusion 840 00:29:25,590 --> 00:29:22,320 of course but 841 00:29:27,909 --> 00:29:25,600 15 case studies and as i get closer to 842 00:29:30,070 --> 00:29:27,919 the end and i'm reviewing all of them as 843 00:29:31,830 --> 00:29:30,080 part of the editing process 844 00:29:33,830 --> 00:29:31,840 these patterns emerge and that's the 845 00:29:36,310 --> 00:29:33,840 main impetus for this book is to look 846 00:29:38,070 --> 00:29:36,320 for patterns that could indicate what's 847 00:29:40,389 --> 00:29:38,080 happening with this phenomenon and what 848 00:29:42,470 --> 00:29:40,399 model might best explain it 849 00:29:45,110 --> 00:29:42,480 and the pattern that emerged was just 850 00:29:47,029 --> 00:29:45,120 how many of these are us 851 00:29:49,190 --> 00:29:47,039 they're they're just like us they were 852 00:29:51,510 --> 00:29:49,200 closed like us they communicate with 853 00:29:53,990 --> 00:29:51,520 vocalized speech like us they have they 854 00:29:55,990 --> 00:29:54,000 do exercises outside their ship when 855 00:29:57,269 --> 00:29:56,000 they're collecting grasshoppers like 856 00:29:58,470 --> 00:29:57,279 there's just so many things that are 857 00:30:00,630 --> 00:29:58,480 similar to 858 00:30:01,830 --> 00:30:00,640 field sites where i've worked in various 859 00:30:03,110 --> 00:30:01,840 places 860 00:30:05,269 --> 00:30:03,120 um 861 00:30:06,549 --> 00:30:05,279 it's just the technology they just seem 862 00:30:08,549 --> 00:30:06,559 to be 863 00:30:10,710 --> 00:30:08,559 so similar to us morphologically 864 00:30:14,149 --> 00:30:10,720 behaviorally culturally but their 865 00:30:15,190 --> 00:30:14,159 technology exists beyond our own and 866 00:30:16,789 --> 00:30:15,200 um 867 00:30:18,470 --> 00:30:16,799 technology evolves very fast it 868 00:30:20,630 --> 00:30:18,480 accelerates it's not a linear 869 00:30:22,310 --> 00:30:20,640 progression it's an acceleration more 870 00:30:23,909 --> 00:30:22,320 people means more ideas and it moves 871 00:30:26,389 --> 00:30:23,919 even faster so 872 00:30:29,909 --> 00:30:26,399 um all of those things combined 873 00:30:31,830 --> 00:30:29,919 made me think that yeah they're they're 874 00:30:33,830 --> 00:30:31,840 us from a lot of different time periods 875 00:30:35,110 --> 00:30:33,840 but they're also us from a much more 876 00:30:37,990 --> 00:30:35,120 recent 877 00:30:40,389 --> 00:30:38,000 uh or closer more approximate point than 878 00:30:42,389 --> 00:30:40,399 what i previously assumed 879 00:30:43,909 --> 00:30:42,399 one notion that's mentioned in the book 880 00:30:46,389 --> 00:30:43,919 that was really interesting to me was 881 00:30:48,630 --> 00:30:46,399 the craft may not only be future human 882 00:30:49,750 --> 00:30:48,640 but potentially future human military 883 00:30:51,990 --> 00:30:49,760 craft 884 00:30:55,510 --> 00:30:52,000 what points to that as being a potential 885 00:31:00,870 --> 00:30:57,110 well i mean 886 00:31:02,230 --> 00:31:00,880 the military is our main driver of 887 00:31:04,310 --> 00:31:02,240 um 888 00:31:06,389 --> 00:31:04,320 research into advanced technologies and 889 00:31:07,509 --> 00:31:06,399 advanced craft of skunk works going back 890 00:31:09,190 --> 00:31:07,519 to the 891 00:31:11,430 --> 00:31:09,200 40s 50s 892 00:31:14,470 --> 00:31:11,440 um and what's interesting and this kind 893 00:31:16,389 --> 00:31:14,480 of plays back into the last question 894 00:31:19,190 --> 00:31:16,399 that we were talking about 895 00:31:20,310 --> 00:31:19,200 is is this technology may already exist 896 00:31:21,909 --> 00:31:20,320 right now 897 00:31:24,389 --> 00:31:21,919 and especially if we've been reverse 898 00:31:26,389 --> 00:31:24,399 engineering craft vehicles going back 899 00:31:28,710 --> 00:31:26,399 you know to the 1940s we've had a long 900 00:31:31,029 --> 00:31:28,720 time to sort out how they work how they 901 00:31:32,710 --> 00:31:31,039 fly the anti-gravity propulsion systems 902 00:31:35,350 --> 00:31:32,720 but if they are in fact time machines 903 00:31:37,590 --> 00:31:35,360 also how to manipulate space time 904 00:31:40,870 --> 00:31:37,600 so that combined with the fact that with 905 00:31:43,110 --> 00:31:40,880 skunk works the was sr51 i don't 906 00:31:46,549 --> 00:31:43,120 remember what the blackbird or something 907 00:31:48,630 --> 00:31:46,559 like that it existed something like 15 908 00:31:51,350 --> 00:31:48,640 or 20 years before the general public 909 00:31:54,070 --> 00:31:51,360 even knew that this technology was was 910 00:31:56,230 --> 00:31:54,080 being developed so i think the same 911 00:31:58,310 --> 00:31:56,240 probably exists now no nation is going 912 00:31:59,269 --> 00:31:58,320 to give away their secrets or 913 00:32:02,070 --> 00:31:59,279 let 914 00:32:03,750 --> 00:32:02,080 reporters come in or other government 915 00:32:05,830 --> 00:32:03,760 entities come in and see what they're 916 00:32:07,350 --> 00:32:05,840 working on at that moment because it 917 00:32:09,029 --> 00:32:07,360 they have a competitive advantage by 918 00:32:10,549 --> 00:32:09,039 keeping that secret which is also 919 00:32:13,350 --> 00:32:10,559 probably why we've kept the ufo 920 00:32:15,509 --> 00:32:13,360 phenomenon secret for 70 years much to 921 00:32:17,430 --> 00:32:15,519 the disdain of those who would like 922 00:32:19,509 --> 00:32:17,440 answers about it and who may finally be 923 00:32:21,990 --> 00:32:19,519 getting some of those hopefully 924 00:32:26,230 --> 00:32:22,000 um so yeah i think just 925 00:32:28,389 --> 00:32:26,240 i guess what i was arguing is um the way 926 00:32:30,070 --> 00:32:28,399 technologies have been developed and 927 00:32:32,149 --> 00:32:30,080 then put out 928 00:32:34,310 --> 00:32:32,159 if they are us it's probably going to be 929 00:32:36,310 --> 00:32:34,320 the same situation in the future as what 930 00:32:38,149 --> 00:32:36,320 it exists as now 931 00:32:41,750 --> 00:32:38,159 i think in my head i've got the idea 932 00:32:44,470 --> 00:32:41,760 that future humans coming back are 933 00:32:47,029 --> 00:32:44,480 all one world united you know far more 934 00:32:48,549 --> 00:32:47,039 technologically and spiritually advanced 935 00:32:50,950 --> 00:32:48,559 with this kind of 936 00:32:53,350 --> 00:32:50,960 much more peaceful intent i suppose but 937 00:32:56,070 --> 00:32:53,360 the idea that it's a future military 938 00:32:59,110 --> 00:32:56,080 coming back i suppose must change that 939 00:33:01,190 --> 00:32:59,120 and can you see any benefit to a future 940 00:33:03,029 --> 00:33:01,200 military coming back to observers you 941 00:33:05,190 --> 00:33:03,039 know what what could they potentially be 942 00:33:07,830 --> 00:33:05,200 learning 943 00:33:10,230 --> 00:33:07,840 um yeah i think so i mean you can always 944 00:33:12,230 --> 00:33:10,240 learn from the past the the past is the 945 00:33:14,149 --> 00:33:12,240 only thing we have to learn from and 946 00:33:15,669 --> 00:33:14,159 unless this theory is correct in which 947 00:33:16,389 --> 00:33:15,679 case we can learn from the future too 948 00:33:17,990 --> 00:33:16,399 yeah 949 00:33:20,470 --> 00:33:18,000 um but 950 00:33:22,950 --> 00:33:20,480 but yeah i i think so and and just 951 00:33:26,470 --> 00:33:22,960 studying cultures and the way 952 00:33:29,029 --> 00:33:26,480 they change and interact a big part of 953 00:33:30,149 --> 00:33:29,039 uh military is is also 954 00:33:32,389 --> 00:33:30,159 human 955 00:33:34,549 --> 00:33:32,399 we have to understand the people 956 00:33:36,230 --> 00:33:34,559 that we're going to war with we have to 957 00:33:37,830 --> 00:33:36,240 understand how to rebuild a lot of 958 00:33:39,750 --> 00:33:37,840 especially cultural 959 00:33:41,990 --> 00:33:39,760 anthropologists work with 960 00:33:44,149 --> 00:33:42,000 the cia and other 961 00:33:46,070 --> 00:33:44,159 members of the dod our department of 962 00:33:47,029 --> 00:33:46,080 defense i think it's called the mod over 963 00:33:50,230 --> 00:33:47,039 there 964 00:33:52,789 --> 00:33:50,240 um to help rebuild reunite get around 965 00:33:54,310 --> 00:33:52,799 political and cultural issues that grow 966 00:33:56,630 --> 00:33:54,320 out of war 967 00:33:59,750 --> 00:33:56,640 um but i kind of agree with you i don't 968 00:34:02,310 --> 00:33:59,760 think even if they are military vehicles 969 00:34:04,310 --> 00:34:02,320 unless there's something they have to do 970 00:34:06,549 --> 00:34:04,320 uh with us or to us 971 00:34:09,510 --> 00:34:06,559 in the sense that i don't know i i 972 00:34:11,109 --> 00:34:09,520 talked about this was kind of just uh i 973 00:34:14,230 --> 00:34:11,119 i try to acknowledge 974 00:34:15,909 --> 00:34:14,240 any speculations um to really tease 975 00:34:18,069 --> 00:34:15,919 apart how 976 00:34:19,510 --> 00:34:18,079 it it's not innately speculative when 977 00:34:21,109 --> 00:34:19,520 you talk about the future and especially 978 00:34:22,629 --> 00:34:21,119 if we're talking about tangible things 979 00:34:23,829 --> 00:34:22,639 coming back from the future that we can 980 00:34:24,710 --> 00:34:23,839 study 981 00:34:27,270 --> 00:34:24,720 um 982 00:34:29,510 --> 00:34:27,280 but just looking at this this common 983 00:34:30,869 --> 00:34:29,520 theme that keeps coming up among 984 00:34:33,909 --> 00:34:30,879 abductees 985 00:34:36,470 --> 00:34:33,919 that that's about war they're shown 986 00:34:39,430 --> 00:34:36,480 missiles and explosions and and 987 00:34:41,349 --> 00:34:39,440 oftentimes in association with ufos so 988 00:34:43,030 --> 00:34:41,359 i'm like what is that you know how do we 989 00:34:45,669 --> 00:34:43,040 understand that and again when these 990 00:34:48,470 --> 00:34:45,679 patterns emerge we should look at them 991 00:34:50,149 --> 00:34:48,480 and try to figure out what's going on so 992 00:34:51,669 --> 00:34:50,159 so i was kind of looking at it in the 993 00:34:54,790 --> 00:34:51,679 context of 994 00:34:55,669 --> 00:34:54,800 um these abductees but also 995 00:34:59,589 --> 00:34:55,679 the 996 00:35:00,710 --> 00:34:59,599 eschatological just learned this word 997 00:35:02,790 --> 00:35:00,720 recently because i've been hanging out 998 00:35:04,710 --> 00:35:02,800 with a lot of philosophers and religious 999 00:35:07,270 --> 00:35:04,720 study people but these end times 1000 00:35:08,790 --> 00:35:07,280 prophecies you know and is this all the 1001 00:35:12,310 --> 00:35:08,800 same thing 1002 00:35:14,150 --> 00:35:12,320 are the ufos the the revelations the end 1003 00:35:17,829 --> 00:35:14,160 times thing all 1004 00:35:19,670 --> 00:35:17,839 related somehow and and if so 1005 00:35:22,390 --> 00:35:19,680 is there some sort of 1006 00:35:24,069 --> 00:35:22,400 um selection process that happens do 1007 00:35:26,069 --> 00:35:24,079 they wipe out large segments of the 1008 00:35:27,349 --> 00:35:26,079 population and it's a weird thing to 1009 00:35:28,630 --> 00:35:27,359 think about 1010 00:35:31,589 --> 00:35:28,640 because 1011 00:35:32,870 --> 00:35:31,599 after the first book everyone who i 1012 00:35:34,790 --> 00:35:32,880 talked to 1013 00:35:36,230 --> 00:35:34,800 was like well this is great it means we 1014 00:35:38,630 --> 00:35:36,240 survive global warming and there won't 1015 00:35:40,550 --> 00:35:38,640 be nuclear holocaust and for them to 1016 00:35:41,829 --> 00:35:40,560 exist we must continue to exist 1017 00:35:43,670 --> 00:35:41,839 obviously 1018 00:35:45,030 --> 00:35:43,680 but then i started thinking that that's 1019 00:35:47,430 --> 00:35:45,040 not true 1020 00:35:48,870 --> 00:35:47,440 that doesn't have to be the case 1021 00:35:51,430 --> 00:35:48,880 ninety-five percent of the human 1022 00:35:53,670 --> 00:35:51,440 population alive today now could die 1023 00:35:55,510 --> 00:35:53,680 and that five percent could then carry 1024 00:35:57,190 --> 00:35:55,520 on into the future so 1025 00:35:59,349 --> 00:35:57,200 so i don't know i i sort of explored 1026 00:36:01,990 --> 00:35:59,359 some different scenarios in the context 1027 00:36:04,230 --> 00:36:02,000 of different timelines or in the block 1028 00:36:06,230 --> 00:36:04,240 universe model which is sort of where 1029 00:36:08,710 --> 00:36:06,240 i've been approaching it from 1030 00:36:10,470 --> 00:36:08,720 uh this entire time 1031 00:36:12,870 --> 00:36:10,480 but also in the context of all of these 1032 00:36:15,109 --> 00:36:12,880 doomsday scenarios all of these warnings 1033 00:36:17,109 --> 00:36:15,119 and it's been coming up it sort of died 1034 00:36:19,430 --> 00:36:17,119 down but for a while you know eight 1035 00:36:21,109 --> 00:36:19,440 months to a year ago or so there are a 1036 00:36:23,910 --> 00:36:21,119 lot of people talking about that talking 1037 00:36:25,750 --> 00:36:23,920 about warring timelines and uh 1038 00:36:27,990 --> 00:36:25,760 future humans from different timelines 1039 00:36:29,910 --> 00:36:28,000 that have different agendas and so i 1040 00:36:31,190 --> 00:36:29,920 felt like that should be discussed as 1041 00:36:33,109 --> 00:36:31,200 well 1042 00:36:35,109 --> 00:36:33,119 again i didn't really offer any 1043 00:36:37,109 --> 00:36:35,119 any answers because you can't with 1044 00:36:40,150 --> 00:36:37,119 something like this and it would be 1045 00:36:41,589 --> 00:36:40,160 disingenuous of me to try to offer 1046 00:36:43,510 --> 00:36:41,599 answers for something that's currently 1047 00:36:44,870 --> 00:36:43,520 unanswerable but i do think it's 1048 00:36:45,829 --> 00:36:44,880 important to think about and talk about 1049 00:36:47,910 --> 00:36:45,839 and that's really what i was trying to 1050 00:36:49,670 --> 00:36:47,920 do with this this last book 1051 00:36:51,910 --> 00:36:49,680 yeah on the timelines if anyone's 1052 00:36:53,589 --> 00:36:51,920 interested in following that up 1053 00:36:54,390 --> 00:36:53,599 michael masters yourself in our last 1054 00:36:56,310 --> 00:36:54,400 interview 1055 00:36:58,150 --> 00:36:56,320 frank melbourne around the same time 1056 00:37:00,390 --> 00:36:58,160 john ramirez yeah earlier this year and 1057 00:37:02,630 --> 00:37:00,400 ross cool 1058 00:37:04,950 --> 00:37:02,640 really similar uh yeah i think it cited 1059 00:37:06,230 --> 00:37:04,960 your podcast in that book because you 1060 00:37:08,069 --> 00:37:06,240 talked about it with so many different 1061 00:37:09,829 --> 00:37:08,079 people around that same time and you and 1062 00:37:12,069 --> 00:37:09,839 i talked about it too yeah yeah it was a 1063 00:37:14,150 --> 00:37:12,079 really popular theme and um it's it's 1064 00:37:16,790 --> 00:37:14,160 very marvel multiverse which is the kind 1065 00:37:17,910 --> 00:37:16,800 of marvel and interweaving 1066 00:37:19,430 --> 00:37:17,920 strange 1067 00:37:21,109 --> 00:37:19,440 yeah so that's that's all kind of 1068 00:37:23,030 --> 00:37:21,119 kicking off um but listen back to the 1069 00:37:25,270 --> 00:37:23,040 abductions in this offering you 1070 00:37:27,270 --> 00:37:25,280 mentioned there are a number uh 15 case 1071 00:37:28,790 --> 00:37:27,280 studies some of the more famous ones 1072 00:37:31,030 --> 00:37:28,800 including calvin parker who's been 1073 00:37:32,630 --> 00:37:31,040 interviewed terry lovelace as uh 1074 00:37:34,790 --> 00:37:32,640 hopefully coming on the podcast next 1075 00:37:36,230 --> 00:37:34,800 month to reach out to again so that'll 1076 00:37:37,190 --> 00:37:36,240 be really good uh looking forward to 1077 00:37:39,670 --> 00:37:37,200 that 1078 00:37:41,829 --> 00:37:39,680 what for you makes a credible case of 1079 00:37:44,310 --> 00:37:41,839 abduction because there are tens of 1080 00:37:47,349 --> 00:37:44,320 thousands of stories yeah and in many 1081 00:37:49,349 --> 00:37:47,359 cases they are just that stories so what 1082 00:37:51,270 --> 00:37:49,359 for you make sure you jump out to say 1083 00:37:52,790 --> 00:37:51,280 yeah this is something that makes makes 1084 00:37:54,630 --> 00:37:52,800 a book 1085 00:37:56,790 --> 00:37:54,640 that's that's a fantastic question and 1086 00:37:59,589 --> 00:37:56,800 obviously something i struggled with 1087 00:38:02,069 --> 00:37:59,599 tremendously because i couldn't discuss 1088 00:38:03,589 --> 00:38:02,079 all tens of thousands i had to pick 1089 00:38:06,310 --> 00:38:03,599 whittle it down i wasn't even sure what 1090 00:38:09,510 --> 00:38:06,320 number to do and or whether to do just a 1091 00:38:12,390 --> 00:38:09,520 short analysis of say 50 versus a deeper 1092 00:38:14,150 --> 00:38:12,400 analysis of 10 or 20 and obviously i 1093 00:38:16,630 --> 00:38:14,160 settled on the latter 1094 00:38:20,310 --> 00:38:16,640 in this case but i i tend to follow the 1095 00:38:22,550 --> 00:38:20,320 same general framework that um jaylen 1096 00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:22,560 heineck laid out with his strangeness 1097 00:38:27,910 --> 00:38:24,800 and reliability metrics 1098 00:38:29,829 --> 00:38:27,920 and they're not foolproof obviously um 1099 00:38:32,630 --> 00:38:29,839 but but one of the things he kept coming 1100 00:38:34,550 --> 00:38:32,640 back to is multiple witnesses 1101 00:38:36,950 --> 00:38:34,560 so a lot of these 1102 00:38:39,190 --> 00:38:36,960 have multiple witnesses people that 1103 00:38:41,190 --> 00:38:39,200 sometimes were abducted together calvin 1104 00:38:42,310 --> 00:38:41,200 parker charles hickson terry lovelace's 1105 00:38:44,630 --> 00:38:42,320 friend toby 1106 00:38:47,109 --> 00:38:44,640 has just two examples 1107 00:38:49,030 --> 00:38:47,119 that the two brothers the dwarshak boys 1108 00:38:50,550 --> 00:38:49,040 uh didn't weren't abducted but were 1109 00:38:52,470 --> 00:38:50,560 allowed to go on the ship they were 1110 00:38:54,550 --> 00:38:52,480 allowed to see these things 1111 00:38:57,829 --> 00:38:54,560 and and also um 1112 00:38:59,190 --> 00:38:57,839 the reliability of the witness based on 1113 00:39:02,150 --> 00:38:59,200 um 1114 00:39:04,870 --> 00:39:02,160 how they are viewed by friends and 1115 00:39:07,670 --> 00:39:04,880 family i think that's important too and 1116 00:39:11,109 --> 00:39:07,680 the the second case uduartena 1117 00:39:13,349 --> 00:39:11,119 he was a a dutch minor i believe and his 1118 00:39:15,270 --> 00:39:13,359 his case actually happened only 1119 00:39:17,349 --> 00:39:15,280 uh probably an hour from where i am in 1120 00:39:18,550 --> 00:39:17,359 butte montana just outside of helena 1121 00:39:20,710 --> 00:39:18,560 montana 1122 00:39:24,390 --> 00:39:20,720 and and the person who did the most 1123 00:39:27,990 --> 00:39:24,400 research uh was uh warren astin he's a 1124 00:39:30,390 --> 00:39:28,000 australian researcher and he talked to 1125 00:39:31,349 --> 00:39:30,400 udu ortena's family and they they had 1126 00:39:33,589 --> 00:39:31,359 nothing 1127 00:39:36,870 --> 00:39:33,599 but nice things to say he was extremely 1128 00:39:38,470 --> 00:39:36,880 reliable he's extremely trustworthy 1129 00:39:40,710 --> 00:39:38,480 and the way he describes his account he 1130 00:39:43,270 --> 00:39:40,720 wrote a letter to john glenn who was a 1131 00:39:44,870 --> 00:39:43,280 famous astronaut and senator in my home 1132 00:39:46,230 --> 00:39:44,880 state of ohio 1133 00:39:48,150 --> 00:39:46,240 and and just 1134 00:39:50,230 --> 00:39:48,160 you see all of these pieces together i 1135 00:39:52,710 --> 00:39:50,240 don't think i think if we tried to boil 1136 00:39:54,069 --> 00:39:52,720 it down to one thing 1137 00:39:55,829 --> 00:39:54,079 it wouldn't work 1138 00:39:57,750 --> 00:39:55,839 i don't think there's one thing i think 1139 00:39:59,670 --> 00:39:57,760 we have to look at the whole we have to 1140 00:40:03,030 --> 00:39:59,680 take a holistic approach 1141 00:40:06,550 --> 00:40:03,040 to the case um the the aerial school the 1142 00:40:08,710 --> 00:40:06,560 zimbabwe uh case there's there's what 60 1143 00:40:10,630 --> 00:40:08,720 kids that all saw this at the same time 1144 00:40:13,270 --> 00:40:10,640 and all their pictures are consistent 1145 00:40:14,870 --> 00:40:13,280 john max like get me to zimbabwe i'm 1146 00:40:17,030 --> 00:40:14,880 going to check this out 1147 00:40:19,670 --> 00:40:17,040 he he believed all of them and i would 1148 00:40:21,670 --> 00:40:19,680 trust john mack in a heartbeat or 1149 00:40:24,069 --> 00:40:21,680 something like that so so each one's 1150 00:40:25,750 --> 00:40:24,079 different i guess and it wasn't just 1151 00:40:28,230 --> 00:40:25,760 that they 1152 00:40:29,750 --> 00:40:28,240 were were reliable but i chose them 1153 00:40:31,430 --> 00:40:29,760 because 1154 00:40:32,230 --> 00:40:31,440 they're they're from 1155 00:40:33,190 --> 00:40:32,240 like 1156 00:40:40,790 --> 00:40:33,200 90 1157 00:40:43,270 --> 00:40:40,800 the 1930s to 1158 00:40:45,190 --> 00:40:43,280 the 2014-15 1159 00:40:47,349 --> 00:40:45,200 tic tac encounters for instance they 1160 00:40:48,870 --> 00:40:47,359 happen on five different continents so 1161 00:40:50,309 --> 00:40:48,880 if we're going to look for patterns 1162 00:40:52,790 --> 00:40:50,319 we're not going to be able to do that if 1163 00:40:55,670 --> 00:40:52,800 we just focus on ufo encounters in the 1164 00:40:57,750 --> 00:40:55,680 state of texas or wales or wherever 1165 00:41:00,470 --> 00:40:57,760 it's got to be a broad temporal span 1166 00:41:01,750 --> 00:41:00,480 it's got to be a broad geographic span 1167 00:41:03,750 --> 00:41:01,760 and then and that's what we do as 1168 00:41:05,430 --> 00:41:03,760 anthropologists in our research is we 1169 00:41:06,630 --> 00:41:05,440 look for these patterns over time and 1170 00:41:08,710 --> 00:41:06,640 over space 1171 00:41:11,589 --> 00:41:08,720 so it was kind of an abductive 1172 00:41:14,390 --> 00:41:11,599 anthropological approach where i wanted 1173 00:41:16,069 --> 00:41:14,400 to have variable cases and and i didn't 1174 00:41:18,630 --> 00:41:16,079 just pick ones that conform to this 1175 00:41:20,150 --> 00:41:18,640 extra tempestual model either i think 1176 00:41:21,910 --> 00:41:20,160 it's important to discuss betty and 1177 00:41:23,750 --> 00:41:21,920 barney hill it's important to discuss 1178 00:41:26,790 --> 00:41:23,760 the star map she claims to have been 1179 00:41:29,990 --> 00:41:26,800 shown and and all of these things 1180 00:41:31,829 --> 00:41:30,000 can help move us forward in expanding 1181 00:41:34,150 --> 00:41:31,839 our own understanding of this complex 1182 00:41:35,510 --> 00:41:34,160 and mysterious phenomenon and it was 1183 00:41:37,349 --> 00:41:35,520 difficult 1184 00:41:39,270 --> 00:41:37,359 there's certainly bound to be some form 1185 00:41:41,030 --> 00:41:39,280 of bias too i just like some of these 1186 00:41:42,390 --> 00:41:41,040 cases but i find them more interesting 1187 00:41:44,069 --> 00:41:42,400 so i want to write about them i want to 1188 00:41:46,069 --> 00:41:44,079 research them in depth 1189 00:41:47,349 --> 00:41:46,079 and that that probably played into it as 1190 00:41:49,510 --> 00:41:47,359 well um 1191 00:41:51,430 --> 00:41:49,520 but i do feel like it's a diverse sample 1192 00:41:53,190 --> 00:41:51,440 in time space what happened to people 1193 00:41:54,710 --> 00:41:53,200 the types of beans they interacted with 1194 00:41:56,390 --> 00:41:54,720 the things they saw 1195 00:41:57,829 --> 00:41:56,400 the types of craft 1196 00:41:59,910 --> 00:41:57,839 that they 1197 00:42:01,670 --> 00:41:59,920 they observed 1198 00:42:03,670 --> 00:42:01,680 so yeah i do feel like it's a good 1199 00:42:05,910 --> 00:42:03,680 holistic representation of the 1200 00:42:07,750 --> 00:42:05,920 phenomenon on the whole 1201 00:42:09,829 --> 00:42:07,760 within a lot of the abduction 1202 00:42:11,829 --> 00:42:09,839 experiences you've talked already about 1203 00:42:14,630 --> 00:42:11,839 the commonalities and the patterns you 1204 00:42:16,550 --> 00:42:14,640 know the humanoid form the the language 1205 00:42:19,030 --> 00:42:16,560 at times the clothing the advanced 1206 00:42:20,230 --> 00:42:19,040 technology but what about the other side 1207 00:42:22,550 --> 00:42:20,240 of that where 1208 00:42:24,390 --> 00:42:22,560 messages seem very mixed sometimes we're 1209 00:42:27,190 --> 00:42:24,400 hearing you know messages of of loving 1210 00:42:28,950 --> 00:42:27,200 light sometimes it's pretty horrifying 1211 00:42:30,870 --> 00:42:28,960 experience these abductions against our 1212 00:42:32,630 --> 00:42:30,880 will you mentioned the brothers who are 1213 00:42:34,390 --> 00:42:32,640 taken on board as many claim to have 1214 00:42:36,550 --> 00:42:34,400 been some claim to have been taken on 1215 00:42:39,030 --> 00:42:36,560 tours of of galaxies and you know the 1216 00:42:40,870 --> 00:42:39,040 universe at large and then and then 1217 00:42:42,790 --> 00:42:40,880 returned to where they were 1218 00:42:44,390 --> 00:42:42,800 what does this point to for you that 1219 00:42:46,309 --> 00:42:44,400 they're having a variety of different 1220 00:42:47,829 --> 00:42:46,319 experiences with a variety of different 1221 00:42:50,950 --> 00:42:47,839 beings 1222 00:42:53,030 --> 00:42:50,960 yeah and that's a good point um 1223 00:42:55,030 --> 00:42:53,040 there is variation and and i really 1224 00:42:58,550 --> 00:42:55,040 tried to capture that 1225 00:42:59,910 --> 00:42:58,560 in this this study as well um and and i 1226 00:43:01,349 --> 00:42:59,920 love whitley strieber's encounter 1227 00:43:04,069 --> 00:43:01,359 because he saw 1228 00:43:05,750 --> 00:43:04,079 four different types in his same 1229 00:43:08,230 --> 00:43:05,760 encounter that he wrote about in his 1230 00:43:10,710 --> 00:43:08,240 1987 book communion where there's these 1231 00:43:12,870 --> 00:43:10,720 like battle droid type machines then 1232 00:43:15,030 --> 00:43:12,880 there's the stocky ones that he referred 1233 00:43:17,510 --> 00:43:15,040 to as sort of guards that would lead him 1234 00:43:19,190 --> 00:43:17,520 around and then there was a more 1235 00:43:21,829 --> 00:43:19,200 human-like one and then there was this 1236 00:43:23,910 --> 00:43:21,839 more mantis like one and and that could 1237 00:43:26,390 --> 00:43:23,920 be temporal variation as we talked about 1238 00:43:28,550 --> 00:43:26,400 earlier it could be the continuation of 1239 00:43:30,790 --> 00:43:28,560 geographic variation like what exists 1240 00:43:32,309 --> 00:43:30,800 today among sub-saharan africans native 1241 00:43:34,550 --> 00:43:32,319 americans 1242 00:43:36,309 --> 00:43:34,560 indigenous australians etc 1243 00:43:39,750 --> 00:43:36,319 maybe that continues into the future it 1244 00:43:41,589 --> 00:43:39,760 could be a.i versus biological or some 1245 00:43:44,069 --> 00:43:41,599 combination of those which seems to be 1246 00:43:45,030 --> 00:43:44,079 indicated in that in other case studies 1247 00:43:48,230 --> 00:43:45,040 too 1248 00:43:50,230 --> 00:43:48,240 but i i often default back to 1249 00:43:52,710 --> 00:43:50,240 because it's currently our best source 1250 00:43:54,150 --> 00:43:52,720 of information for this the dr edgar 1251 00:43:55,910 --> 00:43:54,160 mitchell free study that i mentioned 1252 00:43:58,150 --> 00:43:55,920 earlier the experiencer study all these 1253 00:44:02,069 --> 00:43:58,160 different contact modalities 1254 00:44:05,109 --> 00:44:02,079 um because surveys are are wrought with 1255 00:44:07,510 --> 00:44:05,119 methodological issues and you you can't 1256 00:44:08,710 --> 00:44:07,520 dismiss that you can't get around it and 1257 00:44:10,630 --> 00:44:08,720 especially when you're talking about 1258 00:44:14,550 --> 00:44:10,640 something with high strangeness like the 1259 00:44:17,750 --> 00:44:14,560 ufo phenomenon is your survey slightly 1260 00:44:20,630 --> 00:44:17,760 less trusty because of that probably but 1261 00:44:22,470 --> 00:44:20,640 it it is a good study it spans many 1262 00:44:23,910 --> 00:44:22,480 different language groups they they put 1263 00:44:26,470 --> 00:44:23,920 these surveys out in a number of 1264 00:44:28,710 --> 00:44:26,480 different uh languages 1265 00:44:30,630 --> 00:44:28,720 and they had upwards of 4 000 1266 00:44:32,390 --> 00:44:30,640 individuals i was told by ray hernandez 1267 00:44:34,069 --> 00:44:32,400 that is closer to 6 000 now so it's 1268 00:44:35,589 --> 00:44:34,079 continuing to grow their database is 1269 00:44:38,230 --> 00:44:35,599 getting stronger 1270 00:44:40,150 --> 00:44:38,240 so within that um 1271 00:44:42,069 --> 00:44:40,160 as i mentioned the majority of beans 1272 00:44:43,589 --> 00:44:42,079 that are seen are human and then it's 1273 00:44:46,069 --> 00:44:43,599 followed by the short gray it's the tall 1274 00:44:48,390 --> 00:44:46,079 grays and it's only five percent 1275 00:44:50,710 --> 00:44:48,400 that are described as something other 1276 00:44:52,710 --> 00:44:50,720 than a human form we have hybrids in 1277 00:44:55,430 --> 00:44:52,720 there too but if it's a hybrid of a 1278 00:44:58,710 --> 00:44:55,440 human and a different kind of human then 1279 00:45:01,270 --> 00:44:58,720 it's still a homonym as we would call it 1280 00:45:03,589 --> 00:45:01,280 but then five percent are these more 1281 00:45:06,470 --> 00:45:03,599 mantis like reptilian type so it's 1282 00:45:08,550 --> 00:45:06,480 really a very small percentage we can't 1283 00:45:09,910 --> 00:45:08,560 throw those out they're not all outliers 1284 00:45:11,750 --> 00:45:09,920 something happened 1285 00:45:13,510 --> 00:45:11,760 uh we need to take those into account 1286 00:45:16,390 --> 00:45:13,520 but i i think 1287 00:45:17,589 --> 00:45:16,400 for the purposes of of this research 1288 00:45:19,829 --> 00:45:17,599 um 1289 00:45:21,829 --> 00:45:19,839 just the fact that 1290 00:45:24,550 --> 00:45:21,839 the top four categories are type of 1291 00:45:26,550 --> 00:45:24,560 hominin in in and of itself 1292 00:45:28,630 --> 00:45:26,560 is informative 1293 00:45:31,510 --> 00:45:28,640 and it's it's a good starting point and 1294 00:45:33,430 --> 00:45:31,520 these stats are are very useful for 1295 00:45:35,349 --> 00:45:33,440 uh looking for patterns like i mentioned 1296 00:45:37,829 --> 00:45:35,359 the ones who interacted with the more 1297 00:45:39,670 --> 00:45:37,839 human type forms had more positive 1298 00:45:41,349 --> 00:45:39,680 experiences the ones interacted with 1299 00:45:43,750 --> 00:45:41,359 ones that are different 1300 00:45:45,190 --> 00:45:43,760 such as the reptilians the the 1301 00:45:48,390 --> 00:45:45,200 insectoids 1302 00:45:50,069 --> 00:45:48,400 were much less positive um and then 1303 00:45:52,150 --> 00:45:50,079 there's personal variation what happened 1304 00:45:53,750 --> 00:45:52,160 to them if they get taken on a ship and 1305 00:45:55,109 --> 00:45:53,760 shown all these cool technologies as 1306 00:45:56,630 --> 00:45:55,119 young children yeah they're gonna love 1307 00:45:58,710 --> 00:45:56,640 that if they have something shoved up 1308 00:46:00,390 --> 00:45:58,720 their butt and fetus is extracted from 1309 00:46:02,710 --> 00:46:00,400 them they're not going to like that very 1310 00:46:05,190 --> 00:46:02,720 much but even some who do actually like 1311 00:46:08,150 --> 00:46:05,200 i talk about jerry the case of jerry one 1312 00:46:09,510 --> 00:46:08,160 of john mack's patients in my book she 1313 00:46:10,790 --> 00:46:09,520 hated everything that happened her 1314 00:46:11,829 --> 00:46:10,800 throughout her life 1315 00:46:13,190 --> 00:46:11,839 but 1316 00:46:15,190 --> 00:46:13,200 eventually realized that she was 1317 00:46:16,470 --> 00:46:15,200 contributing to something really big and 1318 00:46:18,870 --> 00:46:16,480 really important 1319 00:46:20,870 --> 00:46:18,880 and that she was okay with that she she 1320 00:46:22,230 --> 00:46:20,880 realized she was a part a small part of 1321 00:46:24,470 --> 00:46:22,240 something much 1322 00:46:26,150 --> 00:46:24,480 and it allowed her to sort of uh 1323 00:46:27,589 --> 00:46:26,160 conceptualize what had been happening to 1324 00:46:29,349 --> 00:46:27,599 her and come to grips with it 1325 00:46:31,030 --> 00:46:29,359 essentially and that plays into the 1326 00:46:33,270 --> 00:46:31,040 ethical question 1327 00:46:35,190 --> 00:46:33,280 we were talking about earlier too so 1328 00:46:37,589 --> 00:46:35,200 i think to answer your question it's 1329 00:46:38,950 --> 00:46:37,599 probably multifaceted but most likely 1330 00:46:41,510 --> 00:46:38,960 has to do 1331 00:46:43,829 --> 00:46:41,520 with the types of beans 1332 00:46:45,829 --> 00:46:43,839 the personality of the individual 1333 00:46:46,710 --> 00:46:45,839 contact your abductee 1334 00:46:48,870 --> 00:46:46,720 and 1335 00:46:50,950 --> 00:46:48,880 uh how different it was you know like if 1336 00:46:53,270 --> 00:46:50,960 you came to the u.s i'd show you around 1337 00:46:55,349 --> 00:46:53,280 montana we'd have some beers it'd be 1338 00:46:56,790 --> 00:46:55,359 somewhat similar to where you live 1339 00:46:58,950 --> 00:46:56,800 you go to a 1340 00:47:01,030 --> 00:46:58,960 visit a remote tribe in the amazon 1341 00:47:02,790 --> 00:47:01,040 nobody speaks english they're shooting 1342 00:47:05,910 --> 00:47:02,800 bows and arrows is their highest form of 1343 00:47:07,510 --> 00:47:05,920 technology there's culture shock there 1344 00:47:08,950 --> 00:47:07,520 even if you go willingly and you know 1345 00:47:10,630 --> 00:47:08,960 it's gonna be different you still feel 1346 00:47:13,030 --> 00:47:10,640 that culture shock so i think there's a 1347 00:47:14,550 --> 00:47:13,040 culture shock aspect to this too where 1348 00:47:16,630 --> 00:47:14,560 the ones with far more advanced 1349 00:47:18,069 --> 00:47:16,640 technology the big eyes always come up 1350 00:47:19,990 --> 00:47:18,079 just this deep 1351 00:47:22,470 --> 00:47:20,000 uh haunting 1352 00:47:24,549 --> 00:47:22,480 pupils of these beings that you know 1353 00:47:26,870 --> 00:47:24,559 fill the whole eye the the square of the 1354 00:47:28,870 --> 00:47:26,880 white parts almost not visible 1355 00:47:30,309 --> 00:47:28,880 that seems to be memorable for people 1356 00:47:32,150 --> 00:47:30,319 some enjoy it because they see this 1357 00:47:33,589 --> 00:47:32,160 consciousness the eyes the window to the 1358 00:47:35,109 --> 00:47:33,599 soul so to speak 1359 00:47:36,790 --> 00:47:35,119 others are completely freaked out by it 1360 00:47:38,150 --> 00:47:36,800 they can't even look at them in the eyes 1361 00:47:39,990 --> 00:47:38,160 because it's just too much it's too 1362 00:47:42,309 --> 00:47:40,000 different so i think there's a lot of 1363 00:47:43,750 --> 00:47:42,319 things at play but um i think mostly it 1364 00:47:45,589 --> 00:47:43,760 comes down to the individual their 1365 00:47:47,589 --> 00:47:45,599 experience and the type of being that 1366 00:47:49,910 --> 00:47:47,599 they encountered 1367 00:47:52,470 --> 00:47:49,920 in your research did you see any trend 1368 00:47:55,430 --> 00:47:52,480 that suggested abduction cases are on 1369 00:47:58,309 --> 00:47:55,440 any kind of upwards trajectory or on the 1370 00:48:01,349 --> 00:47:58,319 decline or is it somewhere in the middle 1371 00:48:03,109 --> 00:48:01,359 that's a great question um no i i didn't 1372 00:48:05,990 --> 00:48:03,119 really look at that i i don't even know 1373 00:48:07,430 --> 00:48:06,000 if i can offer an answer because 1374 00:48:09,510 --> 00:48:07,440 i didn't 1375 00:48:10,870 --> 00:48:09,520 yeah i don't know it wasn't a part of 1376 00:48:12,630 --> 00:48:10,880 the research i guess but it's an 1377 00:48:14,549 --> 00:48:12,640 important question and it seems like 1378 00:48:16,710 --> 00:48:14,559 something i probably should have added 1379 00:48:18,630 --> 00:48:16,720 in the introduction or conclusions 1380 00:48:21,670 --> 00:48:18,640 because it would be interesting to know 1381 00:48:23,510 --> 00:48:21,680 like are we having more of these now 1382 00:48:25,510 --> 00:48:23,520 if if they happen more at certain points 1383 00:48:26,390 --> 00:48:25,520 in the past why what was it about that 1384 00:48:28,470 --> 00:48:26,400 time 1385 00:48:29,589 --> 00:48:28,480 um so no maybe that'll be the next book 1386 00:48:31,670 --> 00:48:29,599 i don't know 1387 00:48:33,109 --> 00:48:31,680 i think discussing this on the podcast 1388 00:48:35,510 --> 00:48:33,119 in the past i think it was myself and 1389 00:48:37,430 --> 00:48:35,520 dan we mentioned that in the past 1390 00:48:40,390 --> 00:48:37,440 abduction cases like betty and barney 1391 00:48:42,390 --> 00:48:40,400 hill and calvin parker travis walton 1392 00:48:44,390 --> 00:48:42,400 terry lovelace they stuck around because 1393 00:48:46,710 --> 00:48:44,400 there was no social media so if these 1394 00:48:49,349 --> 00:48:46,720 things are picked up in newsletters or 1395 00:48:51,109 --> 00:48:49,359 books then they were the few cases that 1396 00:48:53,430 --> 00:48:51,119 made it into the mainstream and they're 1397 00:48:56,150 --> 00:48:53,440 stuck in that method lore there's a 1398 00:48:57,990 --> 00:48:56,160 romantic notion with them whereas yeah 1399 00:49:00,309 --> 00:48:58,000 people can go online now and any number 1400 00:49:02,150 --> 00:49:00,319 of people on a daily basis on instagram 1401 00:49:03,349 --> 00:49:02,160 twitter ticktalk could claim to have 1402 00:49:04,950 --> 00:49:03,359 been abducted 1403 00:49:07,750 --> 00:49:04,960 and you're probably just less likely to 1404 00:49:10,069 --> 00:49:07,760 see it because it's it's 2022 1405 00:49:13,270 --> 00:49:10,079 and yeah 1406 00:49:15,270 --> 00:49:13,280 tweet is a lot less personable than a 40 1407 00:49:17,589 --> 00:49:15,280 or 50 year old story and i just wonder 1408 00:49:20,069 --> 00:49:17,599 is it just a modern thing that claims of 1409 00:49:22,309 --> 00:49:20,079 abductions are much harder for people 1410 00:49:24,630 --> 00:49:22,319 on mass to stomach than than ones that 1411 00:49:27,430 --> 00:49:24,640 maybe happened a longer time ago 1412 00:49:29,510 --> 00:49:27,440 yeah that's a really good observation 1413 00:49:31,589 --> 00:49:29,520 and point and i i think there's a couple 1414 00:49:33,670 --> 00:49:31,599 things going on there too maybe where 1415 00:49:35,670 --> 00:49:33,680 yeah you're right we can report it more 1416 00:49:36,870 --> 00:49:35,680 but then it also gets lost 1417 00:49:38,150 --> 00:49:36,880 easier 1418 00:49:39,910 --> 00:49:38,160 um 1419 00:49:41,349 --> 00:49:39,920 are they happening more are they just 1420 00:49:43,750 --> 00:49:41,359 being seen more 1421 00:49:45,349 --> 00:49:43,760 um what i've found is a lot of people 1422 00:49:47,270 --> 00:49:45,359 who seemingly shouldn't have an interest 1423 00:49:48,710 --> 00:49:47,280 in this phenomenon but do 1424 00:49:50,549 --> 00:49:48,720 eventually it comes out they had an 1425 00:49:51,829 --> 00:49:50,559 experience and they're trying to figure 1426 00:49:53,430 --> 00:49:51,839 it out without really letting people 1427 00:49:57,030 --> 00:49:53,440 there's a lot of people 1428 00:49:58,390 --> 00:49:57,040 um before um sorry stuff something else 1429 00:50:00,710 --> 00:49:58,400 i wanted to throw in 1430 00:50:02,549 --> 00:50:00,720 no no don't forget otherwise um there 1431 00:50:04,470 --> 00:50:02,559 were a lot of people on twitter you've 1432 00:50:06,950 --> 00:50:04,480 been a part of this group you know as 1433 00:50:07,910 --> 00:50:06,960 long as i have um probably longer 1434 00:50:08,870 --> 00:50:07,920 actually 1435 00:50:11,030 --> 00:50:08,880 and 1436 00:50:13,030 --> 00:50:11,040 they they were they're very much 1437 00:50:15,349 --> 00:50:13,040 involved with like the the whole 1438 00:50:17,270 --> 00:50:15,359 conversation and then eventually 1439 00:50:19,430 --> 00:50:17,280 you find out they were abducted you know 1440 00:50:21,670 --> 00:50:19,440 they had this experience and 1441 00:50:23,190 --> 00:50:21,680 and and that's that's cool i'm jealous 1442 00:50:25,349 --> 00:50:23,200 you know i never have i've never even 1443 00:50:26,710 --> 00:50:25,359 seen a freaking weird light in the sky 1444 00:50:28,230 --> 00:50:26,720 or anything i thought i almost saw one 1445 00:50:30,069 --> 00:50:28,240 recently and it turns out it's just a 1446 00:50:32,790 --> 00:50:30,079 plane and it's very disappointing 1447 00:50:34,390 --> 00:50:32,800 um but then i also wonder too if it's if 1448 00:50:37,430 --> 00:50:34,400 it's acceptance 1449 00:50:39,430 --> 00:50:37,440 if there's a recent trend because of the 1450 00:50:41,750 --> 00:50:39,440 recent trend toward 1451 00:50:44,790 --> 00:50:41,760 a broad-based acknowledgement of the 1452 00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:44,800 reality of the ufo phenomenon that now 1453 00:50:47,990 --> 00:50:46,720 people feel more comfortable and that's 1454 00:50:50,630 --> 00:50:48,000 a big part of what i was trying to do 1455 00:50:51,910 --> 00:50:50,640 with this last book is continue that 1456 00:50:54,230 --> 00:50:51,920 continue 1457 00:50:56,470 --> 00:50:54,240 to move beyond the tic tac yeah pilot 1458 00:50:57,829 --> 00:50:56,480 seeing awesome that's great and 1459 00:50:59,990 --> 00:50:57,839 we've learned a lot about that and it's 1460 00:51:02,069 --> 00:51:00,000 really pushed the conversation forward 1461 00:51:04,950 --> 00:51:02,079 but people have been being abducted for 1462 00:51:07,190 --> 00:51:04,960 potentially tens of thousands of years 1463 00:51:08,950 --> 00:51:07,200 and still are and have been in recent 1464 00:51:11,430 --> 00:51:08,960 times we should and that it's part of 1465 00:51:13,030 --> 00:51:11,440 the same phenomenon undoubtedly uh so we 1466 00:51:14,790 --> 00:51:13,040 need to be talking about that too i 1467 00:51:15,750 --> 00:51:14,800 actually dedicated my book to the brave 1468 00:51:17,430 --> 00:51:15,760 people 1469 00:51:18,630 --> 00:51:17,440 who come out and tell their story and 1470 00:51:21,190 --> 00:51:18,640 especially those who were telling their 1471 00:51:23,030 --> 00:51:21,200 story before ufos were even real which 1472 00:51:25,990 --> 00:51:23,040 wasn't that long ago 1473 00:51:28,630 --> 00:51:26,000 um but a friend of mine who i wrote 1474 00:51:29,990 --> 00:51:28,640 about his experience ellis martin 1475 00:51:31,670 --> 00:51:30,000 in the book 1476 00:51:35,190 --> 00:51:31,680 as part of the 1477 00:51:39,510 --> 00:51:36,870 he wrote me he read the book i sent him 1478 00:51:42,309 --> 00:51:39,520 a copy because i appreciated him telling 1479 00:51:45,270 --> 00:51:42,319 his story to me uh and he was like 1480 00:51:48,150 --> 00:51:45,280 finally you know after 40 years this is 1481 00:51:50,390 --> 00:51:48,160 so validating to see my experience 1482 00:51:52,710 --> 00:51:50,400 being written about my story told 1483 00:51:54,630 --> 00:51:52,720 um and and i think that's the case for a 1484 00:51:56,710 --> 00:51:54,640 lot of these people that they're trying 1485 00:51:59,109 --> 00:51:56,720 to figure it out and he told me you know 1486 00:52:01,030 --> 00:51:59,119 he was subjected to these animal probes 1487 00:52:03,030 --> 00:52:01,040 and one of the things that really helped 1488 00:52:04,710 --> 00:52:03,040 him come to grips with it was thinking 1489 00:52:07,349 --> 00:52:04,720 of them as future humans he could kind 1490 00:52:09,510 --> 00:52:07,359 of conceptualize them as human doctors 1491 00:52:11,670 --> 00:52:09,520 um future human doctors in the same way 1492 00:52:14,069 --> 00:52:11,680 we conceptualize modern human doctors 1493 00:52:15,910 --> 00:52:14,079 but it pissed them off way more to think 1494 00:52:17,430 --> 00:52:15,920 of them as these beings from a different 1495 00:52:18,950 --> 00:52:17,440 planet who came here and picked him up 1496 00:52:21,510 --> 00:52:18,960 and did all these things to him like 1497 00:52:22,710 --> 00:52:21,520 that that was more violating in his mind 1498 00:52:24,710 --> 00:52:22,720 and it doesn't matter what we think 1499 00:52:26,549 --> 00:52:24,720 about objectively it's that person's 1500 00:52:27,670 --> 00:52:26,559 experience that matters 1501 00:52:29,510 --> 00:52:27,680 and i think 1502 00:52:31,829 --> 00:52:29,520 if we can get more people talking about 1503 00:52:34,390 --> 00:52:31,839 this and and 1504 00:52:36,069 --> 00:52:34,400 have an informed conversation without 1505 00:52:38,309 --> 00:52:36,079 the stigma and shame 1506 00:52:41,030 --> 00:52:38,319 that has been forced upon this 1507 00:52:43,349 --> 00:52:41,040 topic for 70 years 1508 00:52:45,270 --> 00:52:43,359 we can really start to grow and learn 1509 00:52:46,710 --> 00:52:45,280 and see more patterns more patterns 1510 00:52:48,950 --> 00:52:46,720 become apparent the more data is 1511 00:52:51,109 --> 00:52:48,960 available and yeah we still need to be 1512 00:52:52,950 --> 00:52:51,119 judicious with vetting these we still 1513 00:52:54,950 --> 00:52:52,960 need to make sure it's not just somebody 1514 00:52:57,510 --> 00:52:54,960 telling a story or they'd have some 1515 00:52:58,309 --> 00:52:57,520 alternative agenda that we're not aware 1516 00:53:00,630 --> 00:52:58,319 of 1517 00:53:02,549 --> 00:53:00,640 those things still need to be uh taken 1518 00:53:05,030 --> 00:53:02,559 into consideration but 1519 00:53:07,190 --> 00:53:05,040 it i i hope that's the case you know i 1520 00:53:09,030 --> 00:53:07,200 hope more people are telling their story 1521 00:53:11,190 --> 00:53:09,040 and feeling comfortable about telling 1522 00:53:13,510 --> 00:53:11,200 their story in this new climate that's 1523 00:53:15,270 --> 00:53:13,520 grown up around the ufo phenomenon 1524 00:53:17,109 --> 00:53:15,280 as much as we've got that new climate 1525 00:53:19,750 --> 00:53:17,119 there's still a block and a stigma for 1526 00:53:21,349 --> 00:53:19,760 many the the x-files the green little 1527 00:53:23,670 --> 00:53:21,359 men all that kind of stuff is still 1528 00:53:25,990 --> 00:53:23,680 there for much of the general public on 1529 00:53:28,470 --> 00:53:26,000 mass when the subject is discussed i 1530 00:53:30,710 --> 00:53:28,480 know here in the uk i've not spoken to 1531 00:53:32,230 --> 00:53:30,720 any of my colleagues at what about the 1532 00:53:33,750 --> 00:53:32,240 subject who have heard about what's 1533 00:53:35,670 --> 00:53:33,760 going on in the u.s in terms of 1534 00:53:37,270 --> 00:53:35,680 congressional hearings and the media 1535 00:53:39,109 --> 00:53:37,280 reporting being a lot more it just 1536 00:53:41,190 --> 00:53:39,119 doesn't reach over here in any way shape 1537 00:53:42,870 --> 00:53:41,200 or form and it's too bad 1538 00:53:44,069 --> 00:53:42,880 yeah hopefully more of them listen to 1539 00:53:45,670 --> 00:53:44,079 this podcast and they would know a 1540 00:53:47,510 --> 00:53:45,680 little bit more about it or other 1541 00:53:49,829 --> 00:53:47,520 podcasts are available reading books no 1542 00:53:52,390 --> 00:53:49,839 just just yours here's yours just the 1543 00:53:53,750 --> 00:53:52,400 only one getting awards man yeah i could 1544 00:53:56,390 --> 00:53:53,760 edit that one out but i'll leave it in 1545 00:53:58,069 --> 00:53:56,400 i'll let that one spike leave 1546 00:54:00,710 --> 00:53:58,079 do you think the model like the extra 1547 00:54:03,109 --> 00:54:00,720 temper the extra temperature model is 1548 00:54:05,750 --> 00:54:03,119 one that's ready to be discussed in a 1549 00:54:07,510 --> 00:54:05,760 serious way for the general public when 1550 00:54:09,510 --> 00:54:07,520 they're still struggling to grasp the 1551 00:54:12,150 --> 00:54:09,520 idea of there's something else other 1552 00:54:14,710 --> 00:54:12,160 than us more technologically advanced 1553 00:54:16,870 --> 00:54:14,720 yeah absolutely and your 1554 00:54:18,950 --> 00:54:16,880 your uh personal account earlier was 1555 00:54:20,230 --> 00:54:18,960 that before we were recording or after 1556 00:54:21,190 --> 00:54:20,240 the conversation you had with your 1557 00:54:24,549 --> 00:54:21,200 colleague 1558 00:54:27,030 --> 00:54:24,559 uh it may have been no it was after it 1559 00:54:28,870 --> 00:54:27,040 was after okay yeah so the listeners 1560 00:54:30,390 --> 00:54:28,880 heard that and and i think 1561 00:54:32,150 --> 00:54:30,400 what you said is important it's a 1562 00:54:34,069 --> 00:54:32,160 different way of starting the 1563 00:54:36,309 --> 00:54:34,079 conversation if it's just like yeah i 1564 00:54:39,349 --> 00:54:36,319 believe in aliens 1565 00:54:41,109 --> 00:54:39,359 in one ear out the other but if if you 1566 00:54:43,430 --> 00:54:41,119 articulate something that peaks their 1567 00:54:44,950 --> 00:54:43,440 interest is maybe different is more 1568 00:54:46,870 --> 00:54:44,960 understandable and i've heard that from 1569 00:54:48,150 --> 00:54:46,880 so many people they're like i just i 1570 00:54:49,829 --> 00:54:48,160 don't get how 1571 00:54:51,510 --> 00:54:49,839 aliens would look so much like us and 1572 00:54:54,150 --> 00:54:51,520 travel all the way here and just pick us 1573 00:54:56,230 --> 00:54:54,160 up and fly home but there's so much 1574 00:54:59,030 --> 00:54:56,240 about this extra tempestual model that's 1575 00:55:00,390 --> 00:54:59,040 intuitive that makes sense that now you 1576 00:55:02,470 --> 00:55:00,400 can maybe have a conversation with 1577 00:55:03,829 --> 00:55:02,480 people you couldn't have otherwise like 1578 00:55:06,390 --> 00:55:03,839 you just said 1579 00:55:08,069 --> 00:55:06,400 um so yeah i think 1580 00:55:10,950 --> 00:55:08,079 i think we are going in a a good 1581 00:55:13,750 --> 00:55:10,960 direction and you know really we owe so 1582 00:55:16,309 --> 00:55:13,760 much to leslie kane ralph blumenthal i 1583 00:55:18,230 --> 00:55:16,319 always forget the other person 1584 00:55:19,750 --> 00:55:18,240 yeah she was actually the first author 1585 00:55:21,670 --> 00:55:19,760 on that i believe 1586 00:55:24,549 --> 00:55:21,680 but the new york times article in 2017 1587 00:55:25,990 --> 00:55:24,559 that that really blew open this 1588 00:55:28,230 --> 00:55:26,000 conversation and you could tell 1589 00:55:31,030 --> 00:55:28,240 instantly the impact that it had i 1590 00:55:33,109 --> 00:55:31,040 started using that instantly i was at a 1591 00:55:35,510 --> 00:55:33,119 retirement party and and somebody heard 1592 00:55:36,870 --> 00:55:35,520 about you know the research i'd been 1593 00:55:39,990 --> 00:55:36,880 doing so i started writing this first 1594 00:55:42,470 --> 00:55:40,000 book in 2012 way before 1595 00:55:43,270 --> 00:55:42,480 ufos were real 1596 00:55:45,829 --> 00:55:43,280 and 1597 00:55:47,510 --> 00:55:45,839 so by 2017 when i'm getting ready to 1598 00:55:49,190 --> 00:55:47,520 publish this book and have everything 1599 00:55:51,349 --> 00:55:49,200 put together i can now have a different 1600 00:55:54,150 --> 00:55:51,359 conversation with people than i could 1601 00:55:55,910 --> 00:55:54,160 have in 2012 or even 2016 for that 1602 00:55:57,589 --> 00:55:55,920 matter and since then there's just been 1603 00:55:59,589 --> 00:55:57,599 more and more and more and it's too bad 1604 00:56:01,190 --> 00:55:59,599 that it's not reaching beyond i think i 1605 00:56:02,390 --> 00:56:01,200 think it is actually i was interviewed 1606 00:56:07,109 --> 00:56:02,400 yesterday 1607 00:56:08,630 --> 00:56:07,119 um for a tv news segment um by al arabi 1608 00:56:12,150 --> 00:56:08,640 who broadcast throughout the middle east 1609 00:56:13,430 --> 00:56:12,160 and north africa asking about nasa and 1610 00:56:15,109 --> 00:56:13,440 and they're getting them getting 1611 00:56:16,789 --> 00:56:15,119 involved asking about the congressional 1612 00:56:18,549 --> 00:56:16,799 hearings and things so 1613 00:56:21,589 --> 00:56:18,559 that the information is getting out 1614 00:56:23,030 --> 00:56:21,599 beyond the us too what people do with it 1615 00:56:25,829 --> 00:56:23,040 at that point is a whole different 1616 00:56:28,150 --> 00:56:25,839 question but i think it's important to 1617 00:56:30,150 --> 00:56:28,160 to let people know 1618 00:56:32,950 --> 00:56:30,160 this is real and i feel like we're at 1619 00:56:34,549 --> 00:56:32,960 that point and then the question becomes 1620 00:56:36,710 --> 00:56:34,559 who are they where are they coming from 1621 00:56:38,309 --> 00:56:36,720 or when are they coming from and and 1622 00:56:40,230 --> 00:56:38,319 yeah i think people are ready to have a 1623 00:56:42,470 --> 00:56:40,240 conversation about this time travel 1624 00:56:44,630 --> 00:56:42,480 model unfortunately many of their brains 1625 00:56:47,750 --> 00:56:44,640 were ruined by back to the future and 1626 00:56:50,390 --> 00:56:47,760 other horribly made movies about time 1627 00:56:51,990 --> 00:56:50,400 travel but there are good ones too 1628 00:56:53,510 --> 00:56:52,000 there are ones that kind of adhere to 1629 00:56:55,349 --> 00:56:53,520 the laws of physics as we understand 1630 00:56:56,870 --> 00:56:55,359 them obviously these vehicles don't 1631 00:56:59,109 --> 00:56:56,880 adhere to the laws of physics as we 1632 00:57:02,470 --> 00:56:59,119 understand them so there's going to be 1633 00:57:05,589 --> 00:57:02,480 a revolution in our understanding and 1634 00:57:08,150 --> 00:57:05,599 use of of technologies almost everyone 1635 00:57:10,150 --> 00:57:08,160 agrees there has to be a unification of 1636 00:57:12,470 --> 00:57:10,160 general relativity in quantum mechanics 1637 00:57:14,309 --> 00:57:12,480 this sort of quantum gravity 1638 00:57:16,789 --> 00:57:14,319 uh theory because we just we don't know 1639 00:57:18,950 --> 00:57:16,799 how to fit those two together 1640 00:57:20,309 --> 00:57:18,960 once that happens and this becomes 1641 00:57:22,309 --> 00:57:20,319 reality 1642 00:57:26,470 --> 00:57:22,319 we're gonna have to talk about it and it 1643 00:57:27,349 --> 00:57:26,480 almost feels like this recent rise in 1644 00:57:31,910 --> 00:57:27,359 the 1645 00:57:33,030 --> 00:57:31,920 this model 1646 00:57:35,109 --> 00:57:33,040 is 1647 00:57:36,789 --> 00:57:35,119 a part of that conversation for a reason 1648 00:57:38,549 --> 00:57:36,799 we have to get people thinking about 1649 00:57:41,430 --> 00:57:38,559 other interpretations we have to get 1650 00:57:43,829 --> 00:57:41,440 people thinking about that potential 1651 00:57:46,309 --> 00:57:43,839 um explanation like what if this is our 1652 00:57:48,470 --> 00:57:46,319 future what does that mean for the way 1653 00:57:50,390 --> 00:57:48,480 we conceptualize time and space the way 1654 00:57:52,150 --> 00:57:50,400 we conceptualize society and 1655 00:57:55,190 --> 00:57:52,160 interactions between individuals from 1656 00:57:57,270 --> 00:57:55,200 different time periods um so yeah i 1657 00:57:58,549 --> 00:57:57,280 think it's it's a little bit harder and 1658 00:58:01,270 --> 00:57:58,559 i've 1659 00:58:03,190 --> 00:58:01,280 definitely found to that over the last 1660 00:58:05,510 --> 00:58:03,200 three years um 1661 00:58:07,190 --> 00:58:05,520 because people don't 1662 00:58:08,549 --> 00:58:07,200 and they people don't understand the 1663 00:58:10,309 --> 00:58:08,559 block universe model they don't 1664 00:58:11,190 --> 00:58:10,319 understand time 1665 00:58:14,390 --> 00:58:11,200 in 1666 00:58:16,230 --> 00:58:14,400 a way that allows them to conceptualize 1667 00:58:18,630 --> 00:58:16,240 just how this could happen and how easy 1668 00:58:21,349 --> 00:58:18,640 it would be and what implications there 1669 00:58:22,950 --> 00:58:21,359 are or what non-implications where we 1670 00:58:24,309 --> 00:58:22,960 don't have to worry about the 1671 00:58:26,309 --> 00:58:24,319 grandfather paradox we don't have to 1672 00:58:27,910 --> 00:58:26,319 worry about bootstrap paradoxes and all 1673 00:58:28,870 --> 00:58:27,920 of these things that were hang-ups for 1674 00:58:30,710 --> 00:58:28,880 people 1675 00:58:32,230 --> 00:58:30,720 so much that i discussed much more in my 1676 00:58:33,910 --> 00:58:32,240 first book for anybody that wants more 1677 00:58:35,430 --> 00:58:33,920 information on that because i really 1678 00:58:37,670 --> 00:58:35,440 don't want to explain the black universe 1679 00:58:40,390 --> 00:58:37,680 for the thousandth time right now 1680 00:58:43,030 --> 00:58:40,400 um so i think even with just a base 1681 00:58:44,549 --> 00:58:43,040 level knowledge of where we are now like 1682 00:58:46,549 --> 00:58:44,559 we can't know what technology we're 1683 00:58:48,870 --> 00:58:46,559 going to have 100 years from now we 1684 00:58:51,030 --> 00:58:48,880 can't under we can't know what it's 1685 00:58:53,190 --> 00:58:51,040 going to be like once we do unify 1686 00:58:55,589 --> 00:58:53,200 general relativity and quantum mechanics 1687 00:58:57,270 --> 00:58:55,599 but we can know where we are now and all 1688 00:58:59,750 --> 00:58:57,280 i can do as an author of these 1689 00:59:01,910 --> 00:58:59,760 publications is to give 1690 00:59:05,030 --> 00:59:01,920 an indication of this is where we are 1691 00:59:07,270 --> 00:59:05,040 this is how we got here um and if these 1692 00:59:10,230 --> 00:59:07,280 beans are from the future 1693 00:59:12,950 --> 00:59:10,240 we can connect those those dots as well 1694 00:59:15,190 --> 00:59:12,960 um but beyond that we're still limited 1695 00:59:16,630 --> 00:59:15,200 in our own 1696 00:59:18,549 --> 00:59:16,640 understanding of time we know it's an 1697 00:59:20,390 --> 00:59:18,559 emergent phenomenon we know there's 1698 00:59:22,230 --> 00:59:20,400 something more fundamental that time 1699 00:59:23,349 --> 00:59:22,240 emerges from we just don't know what 1700 00:59:24,789 --> 00:59:23,359 that is yet 1701 00:59:26,390 --> 00:59:24,799 so we're all stuck with the same 1702 00:59:28,870 --> 00:59:26,400 limitations but the more we can talk 1703 00:59:31,349 --> 00:59:28,880 about this is a real possibility i think 1704 00:59:33,109 --> 00:59:31,359 the more we're going to be able to 1705 00:59:34,950 --> 00:59:33,119 really set the stage for that future 1706 00:59:36,549 --> 00:59:34,960 that's yet to come 1707 00:59:38,549 --> 00:59:36,559 when someone goes out and picks up their 1708 00:59:40,789 --> 00:59:38,559 copy of the extra tempestual model 1709 00:59:43,829 --> 00:59:40,799 whether it's audiobook kindle or 1710 00:59:45,510 --> 00:59:43,839 paperback hardback um take your pick 1711 00:59:47,670 --> 00:59:45,520 what do you want them to take away from 1712 00:59:50,470 --> 00:59:47,680 it at the end 1713 00:59:52,470 --> 00:59:50,480 uh that's a good question 1714 00:59:53,270 --> 00:59:52,480 i guess the same thing i took away from 1715 00:59:55,030 --> 00:59:53,280 it 1716 00:59:57,829 --> 00:59:55,040 because i i i didn't know what i would 1717 00:59:59,510 --> 00:59:57,839 find when i decided to rate this book 1718 01:00:01,030 --> 00:59:59,520 and that's part of the abductive 1719 01:00:02,710 --> 01:00:01,040 approach you just 1720 01:00:03,750 --> 01:00:02,720 put everything out there 1721 01:00:05,750 --> 01:00:03,760 and and 1722 01:00:07,270 --> 01:00:05,760 you see what see what sticks to the wall 1723 01:00:08,470 --> 01:00:07,280 you know throw all the spaghetti and see 1724 01:00:09,510 --> 01:00:08,480 what sticks 1725 01:00:11,589 --> 01:00:09,520 um 1726 01:00:12,789 --> 01:00:11,599 but the main takeaway for me 1727 01:00:15,990 --> 01:00:12,799 i think 1728 01:00:20,470 --> 01:00:18,470 the the future 1729 01:00:22,069 --> 01:00:20,480 seems to be 1730 01:00:24,390 --> 01:00:22,079 for the most part 1731 01:00:27,030 --> 01:00:24,400 um 1732 01:00:29,109 --> 01:00:27,040 loving empathetic you know 1733 01:00:30,710 --> 01:00:29,119 there seems to be 1734 01:00:33,670 --> 01:00:30,720 um 1735 01:00:34,870 --> 01:00:33,680 a dissolution of a lot of our 1736 01:00:37,750 --> 01:00:34,880 religious 1737 01:00:39,910 --> 01:00:37,760 political animosities um of course we're 1738 01:00:42,470 --> 01:00:39,920 only seeing a select 1739 01:00:44,950 --> 01:00:42,480 few individuals that come back 1740 01:00:47,030 --> 01:00:44,960 and that's not a representative sample 1741 01:00:49,430 --> 01:00:47,040 and there's other issues involved with 1742 01:00:51,589 --> 01:00:49,440 that as well but it's more about the 1743 01:00:53,670 --> 01:00:51,599 conscious connection that people have 1744 01:00:57,750 --> 01:00:53,680 with these beings and yeah you have the 1745 01:00:59,510 --> 01:00:57,760 ones that don't um but the the majority 1746 01:01:01,510 --> 01:00:59,520 they want more interaction whitley 1747 01:01:03,910 --> 01:01:01,520 strieber used to go out behind his house 1748 01:01:05,670 --> 01:01:03,920 and walk out calling for them begging 1749 01:01:08,150 --> 01:01:05,680 for them to come back and interact with 1750 01:01:09,750 --> 01:01:08,160 them and once you have that experience 1751 01:01:10,710 --> 01:01:09,760 once you feel 1752 01:01:17,430 --> 01:01:10,720 that 1753 01:01:18,870 --> 01:01:17,440 a more evolved consciousness i i think 1754 01:01:20,630 --> 01:01:18,880 that's the main thing that i wasn't 1755 01:01:23,349 --> 01:01:20,640 expecting to find that i did it's almost 1756 01:01:26,710 --> 01:01:23,359 like like nietzsche's 1757 01:01:29,030 --> 01:01:26,720 instead we can move beyond all of these 1758 01:01:31,670 --> 01:01:29,040 religious squabbles that have led to all 1759 01:01:33,349 --> 01:01:31,680 these wars and and genocides and and the 1760 01:01:35,510 --> 01:01:33,359 politics that 1761 01:01:37,190 --> 01:01:35,520 run hand in hand with those 1762 01:01:38,950 --> 01:01:37,200 and and what was really cool actually is 1763 01:01:41,990 --> 01:01:38,960 um i wish i would have read this book 1764 01:01:43,750 --> 01:01:42,000 before i published my last book i just 1765 01:01:45,589 --> 01:01:43,760 read it a couple weeks ago but joe 1766 01:01:48,309 --> 01:01:45,599 joseph mcmonagle's 1767 01:01:51,109 --> 01:01:48,319 book the ultimate time machine 1768 01:01:54,630 --> 01:01:51,119 he says on page i think it's 174 1769 01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:54,640 that by the mid-century 21st century the 1770 01:01:58,870 --> 01:01:56,240 one that we're in now it will be 1771 01:02:00,390 --> 01:01:58,880 commonly understood that ufos are time 1772 01:02:02,710 --> 01:02:00,400 machines 1773 01:02:05,029 --> 01:02:02,720 he says that in his book and he's remote 1774 01:02:07,510 --> 01:02:05,039 viewing the future you know and he's a 1775 01:02:10,230 --> 01:02:07,520 vetted remote viewer he was number one 1776 01:02:13,190 --> 01:02:10,240 in the stargate program in 1978 he was 1777 01:02:15,190 --> 01:02:13,200 the beginning of this and i i think even 1778 01:02:17,190 --> 01:02:15,200 that like vecna character and stranger 1779 01:02:20,230 --> 01:02:17,200 things might be based off of 1780 01:02:21,910 --> 01:02:20,240 zero zero one which was him essentially 1781 01:02:23,990 --> 01:02:21,920 but he's remote viewing 1782 01:02:26,069 --> 01:02:24,000 the near future in the year 3000 and 1783 01:02:27,190 --> 01:02:26,079 already by the year 3000 if we can take 1784 01:02:29,750 --> 01:02:27,200 seriously what he says and he 1785 01:02:32,230 --> 01:02:29,760 acknowledges that roughly you know 70 to 1786 01:02:35,029 --> 01:02:32,240 80 percent of what he says or remote 1787 01:02:37,029 --> 01:02:35,039 views proves to be reality and this has 1788 01:02:38,950 --> 01:02:37,039 been tested over and over and over over 1789 01:02:40,470 --> 01:02:38,960 multiple decades 1790 01:02:42,549 --> 01:02:40,480 but it's cool that he said 1791 01:02:43,589 --> 01:02:42,559 by the middle of this century we'll know 1792 01:02:45,510 --> 01:02:43,599 their time machines will know their 1793 01:02:48,630 --> 01:02:45,520 future humans would have loved to 1794 01:02:50,789 --> 01:02:48,640 included that in my chapter one uh deep 1795 01:02:53,670 --> 01:02:50,799 dive into who else has said this idea 1796 01:02:55,829 --> 01:02:53,680 over the last 100 years or so but by the 1797 01:02:57,670 --> 01:02:55,839 earth out 3 000 we resolve a lot of 1798 01:02:59,270 --> 01:02:57,680 ecological problems a lot of social 1799 01:03:01,190 --> 01:02:59,280 problems transportation problems we 1800 01:03:03,029 --> 01:03:01,200 start to build cities in a way that 1801 01:03:05,510 --> 01:03:03,039 makes sense rather than based around 1802 01:03:06,950 --> 01:03:05,520 cars you're much better at it over there 1803 01:03:08,150 --> 01:03:06,960 in the uk and 1804 01:03:10,069 --> 01:03:08,160 in europe 1805 01:03:11,750 --> 01:03:10,079 uh but we suck at it here we're our 1806 01:03:13,750 --> 01:03:11,760 cities are horrible and they're stupid 1807 01:03:15,430 --> 01:03:13,760 and it makes no sense so by the year 1808 01:03:17,430 --> 01:03:15,440 3000 we sort those things out we have 1809 01:03:18,950 --> 01:03:17,440 social reforms our prison system is 1810 01:03:20,309 --> 01:03:18,960 completely different it almost doesn't 1811 01:03:22,630 --> 01:03:20,319 even exist 1812 01:03:24,309 --> 01:03:22,640 um the political system and like you are 1813 01:03:27,029 --> 01:03:24,319 saying you know we like to think of this 1814 01:03:28,630 --> 01:03:27,039 more harmonious existence that does seem 1815 01:03:31,510 --> 01:03:28,640 to be the case 1816 01:03:33,910 --> 01:03:31,520 on some level in the human future 1817 01:03:35,990 --> 01:03:33,920 and and that was something i i took away 1818 01:03:38,069 --> 01:03:36,000 from it that that i was excited about i 1819 01:03:39,109 --> 01:03:38,079 i won't be a part of that future i'll be 1820 01:03:41,510 --> 01:03:39,119 long dead 1821 01:03:43,670 --> 01:03:41,520 way before it but it gives me hope for 1822 01:03:45,029 --> 01:03:43,680 humanity i guess and and that was 1823 01:03:46,710 --> 01:03:45,039 positive 1824 01:03:48,630 --> 01:03:46,720 before some listener questions just let 1825 01:03:50,470 --> 01:03:48,640 me ask you then if future michael 1826 01:03:54,069 --> 01:03:50,480 masters could come back from the year 1827 01:03:55,750 --> 01:03:54,079 2042 so let's give us 20 years and it 1828 01:03:58,470 --> 01:03:55,760 could tell you what the human race has 1829 01:04:02,230 --> 01:03:58,480 learned about ufos in that time what do 1830 01:04:06,870 --> 01:04:04,390 i mean i have so many biases and 1831 01:04:09,990 --> 01:04:06,880 answering that question it's 1832 01:04:10,950 --> 01:04:10,000 it's impossible to say um 1833 01:04:13,430 --> 01:04:10,960 but 1834 01:04:15,349 --> 01:04:13,440 i mean that's pretty much mid-century 1835 01:04:17,270 --> 01:04:15,359 21st century so 1836 01:04:19,589 --> 01:04:17,280 i'm just gonna uh divert to joe 1837 01:04:21,029 --> 01:04:19,599 mcmonical with that one 1838 01:04:23,430 --> 01:04:21,039 and say 1839 01:04:25,510 --> 01:04:23,440 machines their time machines yeah i'll 1840 01:04:28,549 --> 01:04:25,520 let him answer that question for me 1841 01:04:30,390 --> 01:04:28,559 okay because i'm not a remote viewer 1842 01:04:31,109 --> 01:04:30,400 i wish i was it seems like it'd be super 1843 01:04:32,950 --> 01:04:31,119 cool 1844 01:04:34,870 --> 01:04:32,960 future doctor masters could be you never 1845 01:04:37,029 --> 01:04:34,880 know there's no time like that's true 1846 01:04:38,390 --> 01:04:37,039 yeah actually i say there's no time like 1847 01:04:41,190 --> 01:04:38,400 the present there may be a time like the 1848 01:04:43,349 --> 01:04:41,200 future so you never know that's true so 1849 01:04:45,349 --> 01:04:43,359 listener questions lots were sent in so 1850 01:04:46,630 --> 01:04:45,359 i'm sorry if i don't get to yours some 1851 01:04:49,109 --> 01:04:46,640 of them were in the body of the 1852 01:04:50,789 --> 01:04:49,119 interview and others were gonna you sent 1853 01:04:53,349 --> 01:04:50,799 in similar ones and we start off with 1854 01:04:55,190 --> 01:04:53,359 that malcolm and metal matt both asked a 1855 01:04:57,109 --> 01:04:55,200 very similar question 1856 01:04:59,670 --> 01:04:57,119 if these beings are aware of our 1857 01:05:01,589 --> 01:04:59,680 capabilities why would they be exposing 1858 01:05:04,069 --> 01:05:01,599 themselves to us for example the tic 1859 01:05:06,230 --> 01:05:04,079 tacs they seem to know or they should 1860 01:05:08,470 --> 01:05:06,240 know that we can track them on radar 1861 01:05:10,309 --> 01:05:08,480 with you know satellites and such 1862 01:05:12,069 --> 01:05:10,319 why aren't they observing us in a more 1863 01:05:14,230 --> 01:05:12,079 stealthy way 1864 01:05:15,670 --> 01:05:14,240 yeah well they do 1865 01:05:17,029 --> 01:05:15,680 that as well 1866 01:05:19,990 --> 01:05:17,039 um 1867 01:05:23,029 --> 01:05:20,000 and in fact it seems 1868 01:05:24,950 --> 01:05:23,039 i've had this question proposed in a 1869 01:05:26,789 --> 01:05:24,960 similar way about the lights 1870 01:05:28,630 --> 01:05:26,799 they've got all this grand technology 1871 01:05:30,470 --> 01:05:28,640 why do they need lights on the outside 1872 01:05:33,430 --> 01:05:30,480 and i think the lights have something to 1873 01:05:34,390 --> 01:05:33,440 do with the manipulation of space time 1874 01:05:37,349 --> 01:05:34,400 from 1875 01:05:38,950 --> 01:05:37,359 many different things i've i've seen 1876 01:05:41,750 --> 01:05:38,960 um but then you have things like the 1877 01:05:43,670 --> 01:05:41,760 aerial school encounter for instance uh 1878 01:05:45,750 --> 01:05:43,680 the rental shim forest where it almost 1879 01:05:46,870 --> 01:05:45,760 seems like the craft 1880 01:05:49,589 --> 01:05:46,880 uh 1881 01:05:50,870 --> 01:05:49,599 had a malfunction of sorts and that had 1882 01:05:53,190 --> 01:05:50,880 to come down 1883 01:05:55,109 --> 01:05:53,200 and they fix it 1884 01:05:57,349 --> 01:05:55,119 both describe very similar things beans 1885 01:05:58,950 --> 01:05:57,359 moving around hovering 1886 01:06:00,150 --> 01:05:58,960 seem like they're making repairs to the 1887 01:06:02,309 --> 01:06:00,160 craft 1888 01:06:03,750 --> 01:06:02,319 so if there is some sort of cloaking 1889 01:06:05,029 --> 01:06:03,760 mechanism 1890 01:06:06,950 --> 01:06:05,039 maybe that breaks down in these 1891 01:06:09,270 --> 01:06:06,960 situations where 1892 01:06:10,870 --> 01:06:09,280 they have to fix a problem with their 1893 01:06:13,109 --> 01:06:10,880 cloaking mechanism or some other thing 1894 01:06:13,990 --> 01:06:13,119 and in the aerial school encounter 1895 01:06:16,069 --> 01:06:14,000 uh 1896 01:06:18,230 --> 01:06:16,079 the children describe it as sort of 1897 01:06:19,910 --> 01:06:18,240 disappearing and reappearing in the sky 1898 01:06:21,190 --> 01:06:19,920 that could be an aspect of them entering 1899 01:06:23,109 --> 01:06:21,200 that temporal space because that's what 1900 01:06:24,710 --> 01:06:23,119 we'd expect of a time machine or it 1901 01:06:26,950 --> 01:06:24,720 could have something to do with that 1902 01:06:30,150 --> 01:06:26,960 cloaking mechanism breaking down 1903 01:06:33,430 --> 01:06:30,160 and exposing them in different places as 1904 01:06:36,150 --> 01:06:33,440 it's sort of on the skits or whatever 1905 01:06:38,589 --> 01:06:36,160 it could also be and this would seem to 1906 01:06:40,710 --> 01:06:38,599 be indicated by where we are 1907 01:06:43,029 --> 01:06:40,720 socio-politically with all of this that 1908 01:06:45,349 --> 01:06:43,039 they want us to know 1909 01:06:47,750 --> 01:06:45,359 it's time for us to know and that's been 1910 01:06:50,309 --> 01:06:47,760 said over and over again 1911 01:06:51,750 --> 01:06:50,319 uh especially by those who are in 1912 01:06:54,069 --> 01:06:51,760 military 1913 01:06:55,589 --> 01:06:54,079 that it's not up to us to tell the 1914 01:06:57,910 --> 01:06:55,599 people 1915 01:06:59,670 --> 01:06:57,920 about them it's up to them 1916 01:07:01,670 --> 01:06:59,680 when we tell them 1917 01:07:03,190 --> 01:07:01,680 and they and that would seem to indicate 1918 01:07:05,029 --> 01:07:03,200 that they know more they have more 1919 01:07:06,309 --> 01:07:05,039 information because 1920 01:07:08,309 --> 01:07:06,319 they know when this is going to happen 1921 01:07:10,230 --> 01:07:08,319 already because in the block universe 1922 01:07:12,230 --> 01:07:10,240 model it already has for them 1923 01:07:14,710 --> 01:07:12,240 so i think we're getting close to the 1924 01:07:16,549 --> 01:07:14,720 time when we do finally get to know and 1925 01:07:17,990 --> 01:07:16,559 maybe they're sort of letting down their 1926 01:07:20,069 --> 01:07:18,000 guard a little bit because they want us 1927 01:07:22,470 --> 01:07:20,079 to be talking about this in preparation 1928 01:07:23,349 --> 01:07:22,480 for this final disclosure or whatever 1929 01:07:27,270 --> 01:07:23,359 that's 1930 01:07:29,029 --> 01:07:27,280 some of the children that ariel also 1931 01:07:30,789 --> 01:07:29,039 mentioned that when the the craft had 1932 01:07:32,549 --> 01:07:30,799 landed it looked like one of the beings 1933 01:07:34,230 --> 01:07:32,559 was stuck in a loop they could see it 1934 01:07:36,069 --> 01:07:34,240 running and it was going back and then 1935 01:07:38,549 --> 01:07:36,079 same part again and again like you talk 1936 01:07:39,910 --> 01:07:38,559 about that temporal space yeah maybe the 1937 01:07:41,670 --> 01:07:39,920 being's not actually doing that it's 1938 01:07:44,470 --> 01:07:41,680 just what they're seeing because they 1939 01:07:46,789 --> 01:07:44,480 are exactly yeah and i talk about that 1940 01:07:49,910 --> 01:07:46,799 again with um 1941 01:07:51,910 --> 01:07:49,920 it was the one in the uk manchester uk i 1942 01:07:52,710 --> 01:07:51,920 forget her name linda jones i think was 1943 01:07:54,789 --> 01:07:52,720 her no 1944 01:07:56,710 --> 01:07:54,799 name where that same that same sort of 1945 01:07:58,309 --> 01:07:56,720 thing happened with this manipulation of 1946 01:07:59,829 --> 01:07:58,319 space-time in and around these crafts 1947 01:08:02,069 --> 01:07:59,839 and that was a big focus 1948 01:08:04,150 --> 01:08:02,079 of this last book is that 1949 01:08:06,789 --> 01:08:04,160 that space-time manipulation aspect of 1950 01:08:08,789 --> 01:08:06,799 it talking about how put offs research 1951 01:08:10,950 --> 01:08:08,799 um but also the g-forces which is 1952 01:08:12,710 --> 01:08:10,960 something i neglected to put in the 1953 01:08:15,190 --> 01:08:12,720 first book is if they're manipulating 1954 01:08:17,669 --> 01:08:15,200 space-time us as an outside observer 1955 01:08:19,829 --> 01:08:17,679 sees this thing doing 90 degree turns 1956 01:08:21,669 --> 01:08:19,839 very very quickly but within the frame 1957 01:08:24,870 --> 01:08:21,679 of reference of that craft it could be a 1958 01:08:27,110 --> 01:08:24,880 very slow stop and re-acceleration it's 1959 01:08:29,749 --> 01:08:27,120 just our flawed perception outside the 1960 01:08:31,110 --> 01:08:29,759 temporal reference frame of this craft 1961 01:08:32,550 --> 01:08:31,120 itself so 1962 01:08:35,189 --> 01:08:32,560 there's a lot of things like that that i 1963 01:08:37,510 --> 01:08:35,199 think we need to take into consideration 1964 01:08:39,430 --> 01:08:37,520 um when when talking about not just 1965 01:08:41,590 --> 01:08:39,440 their ability to move in and out of time 1966 01:08:43,349 --> 01:08:41,600 but how they can manipulate space and 1967 01:08:46,070 --> 01:08:43,359 time in and around these ships and the 1968 01:08:47,990 --> 01:08:46,080 aerial school is a good example of that 1969 01:08:49,829 --> 01:08:48,000 i won't lie sometimes that delorean 1970 01:08:51,669 --> 01:08:49,839 going 88 miles an hour does seem much 1971 01:08:52,950 --> 01:08:51,679 simpler so 1972 01:08:54,950 --> 01:08:52,960 i just wanted to go back to the future 1973 01:08:57,189 --> 01:08:54,960 what's a flex capacitor though you can 1974 01:08:58,950 --> 01:08:57,199 explain a flex capacitor to everybody 1975 01:09:01,430 --> 01:08:58,960 that that was where they could just cut 1976 01:09:04,070 --> 01:09:01,440 it off and say yeah doc figured this out 1977 01:09:07,510 --> 01:09:04,080 we don't have to explain it 1978 01:09:11,030 --> 01:09:09,030 that could be egg on your face in 20 1979 01:09:13,189 --> 01:09:11,040 years time yeah that's true no that's 1980 01:09:14,789 --> 01:09:13,199 true i got to be careful what i said you 1981 01:09:16,630 --> 01:09:14,799 just stick some garbage in this flux 1982 01:09:17,669 --> 01:09:16,640 capacitor and it lets you go that's 1983 01:09:19,669 --> 01:09:17,679 that's 1984 01:09:21,430 --> 01:09:19,679 um paul smith had a really good question 1985 01:09:23,510 --> 01:09:21,440 that surely if they've discovered time 1986 01:09:25,910 --> 01:09:23,520 travel it would make more sense to go 1987 01:09:28,470 --> 01:09:25,920 back and give us technology to aid a 1988 01:09:30,709 --> 01:09:28,480 faster evolution that would then also 1989 01:09:32,470 --> 01:09:30,719 increase their future capabilities which 1990 01:09:34,789 --> 01:09:32,480 is an interesting idea 1991 01:09:36,550 --> 01:09:34,799 or is the potential that by having 1992 01:09:38,630 --> 01:09:36,560 already done that 1993 01:09:40,550 --> 01:09:38,640 mankind used it for destruction and not 1994 01:09:41,510 --> 01:09:40,560 the benefit of mankind 1995 01:09:43,269 --> 01:09:41,520 and 1996 01:09:45,349 --> 01:09:43,279 trying to put that right or at least fix 1997 01:09:46,630 --> 01:09:45,359 it given thinking about that that makes 1998 01:09:48,709 --> 01:09:46,640 me think of 1999 01:09:50,390 --> 01:09:48,719 did we get the technology from roswell 2000 01:09:52,070 --> 01:09:50,400 crashes and other crashes that happened 2001 01:09:53,030 --> 01:09:52,080 throughout time and they're almost 2002 01:09:56,550 --> 01:09:53,040 trying to 2003 01:10:01,750 --> 01:09:59,110 yeah absolutely um 2004 01:10:04,390 --> 01:10:01,760 and and actually a friend of mine he was 2005 01:10:06,630 --> 01:10:04,400 at the esslin institute uh down in 2006 01:10:09,990 --> 01:10:06,640 california this last week as well 2007 01:10:11,590 --> 01:10:10,000 uh hussein ali agrama and he's a 2008 01:10:13,669 --> 01:10:11,600 cultural anthropologist actually at the 2009 01:10:14,950 --> 01:10:13,679 university of chicago and i'm allowed to 2010 01:10:17,350 --> 01:10:14,960 finally talk about him i've known him 2011 01:10:19,590 --> 01:10:17,360 for three years but he was kind of 2012 01:10:21,430 --> 01:10:19,600 being cautious around this ufo question 2013 01:10:23,110 --> 01:10:21,440 but he has some great ideas 2014 01:10:25,110 --> 01:10:23,120 related to this and he he sort of 2015 01:10:27,270 --> 01:10:25,120 discusses that exact same thing and he 2016 01:10:29,110 --> 01:10:27,280 even coined a term for it and i always 2017 01:10:30,709 --> 01:10:29,120 screw it up and i hope he's not 2018 01:10:32,950 --> 01:10:30,719 listening because 2019 01:10:34,550 --> 01:10:32,960 uh i literally had him repeat it like 2020 01:10:36,630 --> 01:10:34,560 seven times because i screwed it up in 2021 01:10:39,350 --> 01:10:36,640 our talk too it's like a super 2022 01:10:40,709 --> 01:10:39,360 technological singularity or something 2023 01:10:43,510 --> 01:10:40,719 we have people going to the future and 2024 01:10:46,390 --> 01:10:43,520 bringing technology back in time it's 2025 01:10:47,910 --> 01:10:46,400 not even theirs going back but they can 2026 01:10:49,990 --> 01:10:47,920 go to the future 2027 01:10:52,390 --> 01:10:50,000 and bring information back that then 2028 01:10:53,990 --> 01:10:52,400 becomes a part of that future relative 2029 01:10:55,750 --> 01:10:54,000 to those people so 2030 01:10:57,270 --> 01:10:55,760 you know roswell could be an example of 2031 01:10:59,910 --> 01:10:57,280 that too and we we call this the 2032 01:11:02,550 --> 01:10:59,920 bootstrap paradox and it's not a paradox 2033 01:11:03,990 --> 01:11:02,560 and we need to stop calling them these 2034 01:11:05,510 --> 01:11:04,000 especially in the block universe because 2035 01:11:08,070 --> 01:11:05,520 they don't exist 2036 01:11:09,870 --> 01:11:08,080 um but it doesn't matter if that 2037 01:11:14,149 --> 01:11:09,880 technology made its way to roswell in 2038 01:11:15,350 --> 01:11:14,159 1947 and say it came from the year 2300 2039 01:11:17,270 --> 01:11:15,360 um 2040 01:11:19,350 --> 01:11:17,280 it was always going to do that it was 2041 01:11:21,750 --> 01:11:19,360 always going to be there and we 2042 01:11:24,390 --> 01:11:21,760 eventually make the thing in the year 2043 01:11:26,310 --> 01:11:24,400 2400 that then goes back 2044 01:11:27,990 --> 01:11:26,320 and nobody created it the people in the 2045 01:11:29,750 --> 01:11:28,000 past were gifted this technology the 2046 01:11:31,830 --> 01:11:29,760 people in the future didn't create it 2047 01:11:33,669 --> 01:11:31,840 because it was the result of the reverse 2048 01:11:35,750 --> 01:11:33,679 engineering of that machine but it 2049 01:11:38,390 --> 01:11:35,760 doesn't matter if there's no creator it 2050 01:11:41,270 --> 01:11:38,400 still exists and it's always existed as 2051 01:11:42,870 --> 01:11:41,280 part of this this cyclic loop in space 2052 01:11:45,189 --> 01:11:42,880 time you know these connections and 2053 01:11:48,070 --> 01:11:45,199 block times bridge so to speak 2054 01:11:49,430 --> 01:11:48,080 um so yeah i and i think the other part 2055 01:11:50,790 --> 01:11:49,440 of that question 2056 01:11:52,310 --> 01:11:50,800 it's funny we're just talking about flex 2057 01:11:55,750 --> 01:11:52,320 capacitors is sort of the back to the 2058 01:11:59,350 --> 01:11:55,760 future two model where they they go back 2059 01:12:01,590 --> 01:11:59,360 and uh biff gives himself like a a bunch 2060 01:12:03,990 --> 01:12:01,600 of results of sporting events that he 2061 01:12:06,070 --> 01:12:04,000 can bet on almanac yeah yeah sports 2062 01:12:07,590 --> 01:12:06,080 almanac and he creates this dystopian 2063 01:12:09,830 --> 01:12:07,600 future and then they're trying to fix 2064 01:12:13,350 --> 01:12:09,840 that you know those scenarios 2065 01:12:15,350 --> 01:12:13,360 only play out in the context of changing 2066 01:12:18,390 --> 01:12:15,360 the past and we can't change the past 2067 01:12:21,590 --> 01:12:18,400 that's that's written as it is and i 2068 01:12:23,669 --> 01:12:21,600 give a number of examples of why and how 2069 01:12:25,669 --> 01:12:23,679 that is the case both logically and as 2070 01:12:27,189 --> 01:12:25,679 as it's understood by philosophers and 2071 01:12:29,110 --> 01:12:27,199 physicists because philosophers have 2072 01:12:30,790 --> 01:12:29,120 been discussing time way longer than 2073 01:12:33,750 --> 01:12:30,800 physicists have so we have to include 2074 01:12:35,270 --> 01:12:33,760 them in the conversation as well 2075 01:12:38,149 --> 01:12:35,280 but there's a lot of reasons that can't 2076 01:12:40,630 --> 01:12:38,159 happen as far as fixing something 2077 01:12:42,950 --> 01:12:40,640 unless you always fixed it or avoided 2078 01:12:45,270 --> 01:12:42,960 something that was always going to not 2079 01:12:47,189 --> 01:12:45,280 happen in which case it can and if that 2080 01:12:49,110 --> 01:12:47,199 sounds complicated just read the book 2081 01:12:50,550 --> 01:12:49,120 because i don't really 2082 01:12:51,270 --> 01:12:50,560 have any other way to explain it right 2083 01:12:52,790 --> 01:12:51,280 now 2084 01:12:54,070 --> 01:12:52,800 i would recommend reading the book or 2085 01:12:55,830 --> 01:12:54,080 listening to the book anyways some 2086 01:12:57,910 --> 01:12:55,840 people like to do um 2087 01:12:59,830 --> 01:12:57,920 i'm a fan of audio books yeah i had the 2088 01:13:01,430 --> 01:12:59,840 audiobook of this from yourself but i'll 2089 01:13:02,550 --> 01:13:01,440 be picking up the the copy as well the 2090 01:13:08,149 --> 01:13:02,560 hard copy 2091 01:13:09,830 --> 01:13:08,159 anyway um question from joe he asks have 2092 01:13:12,310 --> 01:13:09,840 you had any of the time travel 2093 01:13:14,310 --> 01:13:12,320 hypothesis confirmed by insiders 2094 01:13:15,590 --> 01:13:14,320 government or military people he 2095 01:13:16,950 --> 01:13:15,600 understands you're not you're an 2096 01:13:18,630 --> 01:13:16,960 academic and you're not part of any 2097 01:13:20,870 --> 01:13:18,640 secret programmes but you'd be 2098 01:13:23,750 --> 01:13:20,880 interested to know if you if and who you 2099 01:13:25,669 --> 01:13:23,760 may be talking to in those circles 2100 01:13:28,070 --> 01:13:25,679 yeah you know and it'd be fun to say 2101 01:13:30,870 --> 01:13:28,080 like you know i've got these ndes and i 2102 01:13:33,350 --> 01:13:30,880 know all these top cia officials i don't 2103 01:13:34,790 --> 01:13:33,360 yeah he is right or she um i didn't hear 2104 01:13:38,070 --> 01:13:34,800 the name 2105 01:13:40,390 --> 01:13:38,080 um but with that said i have been 2106 01:13:41,430 --> 01:13:40,400 contacted by people 2107 01:13:44,830 --> 01:13:41,440 who 2108 01:13:46,630 --> 01:13:44,840 claim to have worked very high up in 2109 01:13:48,310 --> 01:13:46,640 government 2110 01:13:51,830 --> 01:13:48,320 who 2111 01:13:53,830 --> 01:13:51,840 yes said i am right um and have told me 2112 01:13:55,910 --> 01:13:53,840 things that 2113 01:13:58,630 --> 01:13:55,920 i should have known 2114 01:14:01,110 --> 01:13:58,640 and didn't think about 2115 01:14:03,430 --> 01:14:01,120 but once they told me it seemed obvious 2116 01:14:04,790 --> 01:14:03,440 and i don't know how someone who's 2117 01:14:05,910 --> 01:14:04,800 studied this since they were eight years 2118 01:14:07,430 --> 01:14:05,920 old 2119 01:14:09,030 --> 01:14:07,440 could have missed something like that 2120 01:14:12,070 --> 01:14:09,040 and how this other person could know 2121 01:14:13,189 --> 01:14:12,080 that and tell me unless they knew 2122 01:14:15,669 --> 01:14:13,199 something 2123 01:14:18,790 --> 01:14:15,679 so obviously it's hard to vet people 2124 01:14:21,590 --> 01:14:18,800 um who reach out to you but yeah i have 2125 01:14:23,830 --> 01:14:21,600 been contacted by quite a few people 2126 01:14:25,590 --> 01:14:23,840 and maybe even if they didn't say 2127 01:14:27,270 --> 01:14:25,600 yeah you're right or 2128 01:14:30,550 --> 01:14:27,280 um 2129 01:14:32,630 --> 01:14:30,560 uh this is is definitely the case 2130 01:14:33,910 --> 01:14:32,640 there's some indication that it's worth 2131 01:14:36,070 --> 01:14:33,920 pursuing 2132 01:14:37,430 --> 01:14:36,080 more and and that has definitely helped 2133 01:14:40,630 --> 01:14:37,440 keep me going 2134 01:14:43,430 --> 01:14:40,640 um but no i don't claim to have any 2135 01:14:45,990 --> 01:14:43,440 any top insider information or contacts 2136 01:14:48,630 --> 01:14:46,000 i got nothing i'm i'm flying solo here 2137 01:14:50,070 --> 01:14:48,640 and it's it's frustrating at times but 2138 01:14:52,390 --> 01:14:50,080 and i'm bound to get things wrong you 2139 01:14:54,310 --> 01:14:52,400 know even if this is right 2140 01:14:55,590 --> 01:14:54,320 i'm bound to get things wrong because i 2141 01:14:57,270 --> 01:14:55,600 can't know 2142 01:14:59,590 --> 01:14:57,280 the reality of the situation like 2143 01:15:02,070 --> 01:14:59,600 someone who does know the reality of the 2144 01:15:03,430 --> 01:15:02,080 situation so but my stance is 2145 01:15:06,950 --> 01:15:03,440 theoretical 2146 01:15:09,750 --> 01:15:06,960 um i'm i'm making inferences based on 2147 01:15:11,990 --> 01:15:09,760 patterns and logic but i'm bound to get 2148 01:15:13,590 --> 01:15:12,000 things wrong in that process but 2149 01:15:15,910 --> 01:15:13,600 uh yeah there have been encouraging 2150 01:15:17,430 --> 01:15:15,920 words from people who claim to have been 2151 01:15:18,950 --> 01:15:17,440 high up in 2152 01:15:21,189 --> 01:15:18,960 positions of government 2153 01:15:23,350 --> 01:15:21,199 without giving too much away can you can 2154 01:15:25,189 --> 01:15:23,360 you elaborate or expand on something 2155 01:15:27,110 --> 01:15:25,199 that you talk about you overlooked and 2156 01:15:28,550 --> 01:15:27,120 then has been pointed out to you as you 2157 01:15:31,270 --> 01:15:28,560 should have noticed this and then you've 2158 01:15:33,270 --> 01:15:31,280 been able to go ah yeah yeah absolutely 2159 01:15:35,430 --> 01:15:33,280 what i just said and i try to work this 2160 01:15:38,870 --> 01:15:35,440 in to as many conversations as possible 2161 01:15:41,430 --> 01:15:38,880 now because it it makes sense and i i 2162 01:15:42,310 --> 01:15:41,440 completely spaced it was the g-forces 2163 01:15:44,390 --> 01:15:42,320 thing 2164 01:15:47,030 --> 01:15:44,400 it was an individual who claims to have 2165 01:15:49,270 --> 01:15:47,040 been retired so he's later life and you 2166 01:15:53,430 --> 01:15:49,280 know probably runs less risk and and 2167 01:15:55,590 --> 01:15:53,440 didn't tell me anything beyond um you i 2168 01:15:57,430 --> 01:15:55,600 think you should consider this thing 2169 01:15:59,990 --> 01:15:57,440 and explain that whole g-forces thing 2170 01:16:02,229 --> 01:16:00,000 that's they're manipulating space-time 2171 01:16:03,910 --> 01:16:02,239 to the extent that what they're 2172 01:16:05,030 --> 01:16:03,920 experiencing is different than what we 2173 01:16:07,590 --> 01:16:05,040 see 2174 01:16:09,110 --> 01:16:07,600 and it's how they can run circles around 2175 01:16:11,910 --> 01:16:09,120 us that's how they can get back to the 2176 01:16:13,830 --> 01:16:11,920 cap point with uh you know the nimitz 2177 01:16:16,149 --> 01:16:13,840 case instantly and 2178 01:16:18,310 --> 01:16:16,159 and and fly at such tremendous speed is 2179 01:16:21,830 --> 01:16:18,320 they're just slowing us down 2180 01:16:24,310 --> 01:16:21,840 we we become um the human trying to swat 2181 01:16:27,110 --> 01:16:24,320 the fly the fly sees us way faster has 2182 01:16:29,110 --> 01:16:27,120 time to just slowly fly away but to us 2183 01:16:31,669 --> 01:16:29,120 it's like how did i miss that you know 2184 01:16:32,950 --> 01:16:31,679 it moved so fast and so i talk about 2185 01:16:35,110 --> 01:16:32,960 what i like to refer to this as 2186 01:16:37,510 --> 01:16:35,120 biorelativity because there is clearly 2187 01:16:39,590 --> 01:16:37,520 this difference among species with 2188 01:16:41,830 --> 01:16:39,600 regard to how they perceive time a barn 2189 01:16:43,510 --> 01:16:41,840 swallow flying through rafters you put a 2190 01:16:45,270 --> 01:16:43,520 jet pack on a human and have them try to 2191 01:16:47,110 --> 01:16:45,280 they even shrink them down to that size 2192 01:16:48,950 --> 01:16:47,120 our brains just haven't evolved to live 2193 01:16:51,430 --> 01:16:48,960 life fast enough to do that without 2194 01:16:52,630 --> 01:16:51,440 smashing our faces against the rafters 2195 01:16:54,950 --> 01:16:52,640 so 2196 01:16:56,630 --> 01:16:54,960 i think what they're doing is slowing us 2197 01:16:57,910 --> 01:16:56,640 down to the extent even if we're 2198 01:16:59,030 --> 01:16:57,920 shooting missiles at them they're just 2199 01:17:00,149 --> 01:16:59,040 like okay 2200 01:17:02,790 --> 01:17:00,159 that was dumb why are you trying to 2201 01:17:05,430 --> 01:17:02,800 start a fight with advanced beans but 2202 01:17:08,229 --> 01:17:05,440 they can just slowly move out of the way 2203 01:17:10,229 --> 01:17:08,239 because we perceive time differently so 2204 01:17:11,910 --> 01:17:10,239 as we perceive them outside of their 2205 01:17:15,669 --> 01:17:11,920 reference frame that instant 2206 01:17:18,470 --> 01:17:15,679 acceleration deceleration 80 000 feet to 2207 01:17:21,270 --> 01:17:18,480 sea level and like 1.76 seconds or 2208 01:17:22,709 --> 01:17:21,280 whatever the su calculated it 2209 01:17:24,870 --> 01:17:22,719 to be 2210 01:17:26,310 --> 01:17:24,880 that was told to me by someone who 2211 01:17:28,630 --> 01:17:26,320 claimed to be 2212 01:17:29,830 --> 01:17:28,640 uh an ex cia 2213 01:17:31,669 --> 01:17:29,840 or 2214 01:17:33,350 --> 01:17:31,679 some someone involved in government i 2215 01:17:35,750 --> 01:17:33,360 don't remember what it was but right 2216 01:17:37,510 --> 01:17:35,760 after my first book came out 2217 01:17:39,830 --> 01:17:37,520 and i was like damn that makes a lot of 2218 01:17:42,470 --> 01:17:39,840 sense how did i miss that and how do you 2219 01:17:43,510 --> 01:17:42,480 know that unless you actually 2220 01:17:45,350 --> 01:17:43,520 are 2221 01:17:47,270 --> 01:17:45,360 or were affiliated with these 2222 01:17:49,270 --> 01:17:47,280 individuals so 2223 01:17:51,189 --> 01:17:49,280 again i can't ever know but that's that 2224 01:17:53,270 --> 01:17:51,199 was a hole in my argument that was 2225 01:17:55,110 --> 01:17:53,280 filled by someone who claimed to have 2226 01:17:57,350 --> 01:17:55,120 had direct knowledge 2227 01:17:59,189 --> 01:17:57,360 um question expanding slightly on what 2228 01:18:01,110 --> 01:17:59,199 you mentioned on the the tic tacs uh 2229 01:18:02,310 --> 01:18:01,120 from tree of life uh tree of life says 2230 01:18:04,550 --> 01:18:02,320 thank you for your thought-provoking 2231 01:18:06,550 --> 01:18:04,560 books dr masters you've done a great job 2232 01:18:08,870 --> 01:18:06,560 of explaining the various paradoxes in 2233 01:18:10,870 --> 01:18:08,880 ways a lay person could understand 2234 01:18:13,030 --> 01:18:10,880 question what's your take on why time 2235 01:18:15,669 --> 01:18:13,040 travelers would spend so much time 2236 01:18:17,990 --> 01:18:15,679 looking around our navy and navy ships 2237 01:18:19,669 --> 01:18:18,000 airmen reported they saw the tax daily 2238 01:18:21,990 --> 01:18:19,679 we hear from people like louis lozando 2239 01:18:24,229 --> 01:18:22,000 these incursions are still happening now 2240 01:18:26,070 --> 01:18:24,239 it's sometimes hovering there for hours 2241 01:18:28,790 --> 01:18:26,080 what information of value could they be 2242 01:18:32,310 --> 01:18:28,800 gathering in that time 2243 01:18:34,149 --> 01:18:32,320 yeah that's a fantastic question um 2244 01:18:35,590 --> 01:18:34,159 i think because 2245 01:18:38,149 --> 01:18:35,600 war 2246 01:18:42,550 --> 01:18:38,159 and destruction seems to be 2247 01:18:48,630 --> 01:18:44,709 so much a part of of the warnings that 2248 01:18:49,990 --> 01:18:48,640 come the the uh eschatological i'm just 2249 01:18:51,430 --> 01:18:50,000 gonna use that word all the time now 2250 01:18:54,630 --> 01:18:51,440 because it's fun to say 2251 01:18:56,550 --> 01:18:54,640 um these end times prophecies 2252 01:18:59,189 --> 01:18:56,560 that clearly 2253 01:19:00,950 --> 01:18:59,199 is related to our military technology 2254 01:19:03,990 --> 01:19:00,960 that exists today 2255 01:19:06,390 --> 01:19:04,000 uh the same thing with the ufos in uh 2256 01:19:07,990 --> 01:19:06,400 nuclear silos malmstrom and nino air 2257 01:19:09,030 --> 01:19:08,000 force base and talk about those in the 2258 01:19:11,110 --> 01:19:09,040 book 2259 01:19:13,430 --> 01:19:11,120 in this context as well 2260 01:19:15,110 --> 01:19:13,440 it almost seems to me 2261 01:19:17,030 --> 01:19:15,120 like 2262 01:19:19,590 --> 01:19:17,040 what we seem to them 2263 01:19:21,669 --> 01:19:19,600 is a bunch of three-year-olds with 2264 01:19:22,709 --> 01:19:21,679 knives and firecrackers 2265 01:19:24,950 --> 01:19:22,719 and 2266 01:19:27,590 --> 01:19:24,960 for them to 2267 01:19:29,189 --> 01:19:27,600 know if something happens that they 2268 01:19:30,709 --> 01:19:29,199 could try to stop before it happens 2269 01:19:32,390 --> 01:19:30,719 because again you can't change the past 2270 01:19:34,310 --> 01:19:32,400 once something's already happened and i 2271 01:19:37,030 --> 01:19:34,320 discussed this a lot 2272 01:19:39,270 --> 01:19:37,040 my most recent book with the the nuclear 2273 01:19:41,189 --> 01:19:39,280 silos um 2274 01:19:43,189 --> 01:19:41,199 and different timelines the multiverse 2275 01:19:45,270 --> 01:19:43,199 versus the block universe 2276 01:19:47,430 --> 01:19:45,280 is is maybe they're just monitoring us 2277 01:19:48,550 --> 01:19:47,440 closely the same way you do on the 2278 01:19:50,390 --> 01:19:48,560 fourth of july we always go to this 2279 01:19:52,470 --> 01:19:50,400 fourth of july celebrations and it's 2280 01:19:53,830 --> 01:19:52,480 this massive horde 2281 01:19:56,070 --> 01:19:53,840 of people 2282 01:19:57,990 --> 01:19:56,080 and and fireworks are like at the heart 2283 01:19:59,830 --> 01:19:58,000 of the culture in butte montana it's 2284 01:20:02,149 --> 01:19:59,840 insane people spend 2285 01:20:03,510 --> 01:20:02,159 thousands and thousands of dollars 2286 01:20:05,590 --> 01:20:03,520 individually 2287 01:20:07,430 --> 01:20:05,600 to just blow this stuff up i'm not one 2288 01:20:09,669 --> 01:20:07,440 of those people i i tend to try to do 2289 01:20:10,870 --> 01:20:09,679 other things with my money but it's so 2290 01:20:13,830 --> 01:20:10,880 fun to watch 2291 01:20:15,510 --> 01:20:13,840 but then you have like 25 kids you know 2292 01:20:16,550 --> 01:20:15,520 we're all drinking beer parents are 2293 01:20:17,910 --> 01:20:16,560 watching 2294 01:20:19,189 --> 01:20:17,920 but then there comes a point where 2295 01:20:21,030 --> 01:20:19,199 you're like all right we should we 2296 01:20:23,750 --> 01:20:21,040 should watch closer because that's a 2297 01:20:25,270 --> 01:20:23,760 that's a big firework and they seem to 2298 01:20:27,830 --> 01:20:25,280 not be paying attention enough and it 2299 01:20:29,030 --> 01:20:27,840 almost seems like that same vibe 2300 01:20:30,790 --> 01:20:29,040 with them 2301 01:20:32,229 --> 01:20:30,800 that they're they're just keeping an eye 2302 01:20:33,590 --> 01:20:32,239 on us because we've gotten to the point 2303 01:20:36,950 --> 01:20:33,600 why would they care before when we had 2304 01:20:38,470 --> 01:20:36,960 spears and and bows and arrows 2305 01:20:40,310 --> 01:20:38,480 we're not going to destroy the planet 2306 01:20:42,310 --> 01:20:40,320 that they might inherit with that but 2307 01:20:43,990 --> 01:20:42,320 then once we get nuclear capabilities 2308 01:20:46,149 --> 01:20:44,000 where we could not just destroy 2309 01:20:47,830 --> 01:20:46,159 ourselves but destroy this planet they 2310 01:20:49,110 --> 01:20:47,840 also call home 2311 01:20:51,430 --> 01:20:49,120 i think that 2312 01:20:53,430 --> 01:20:51,440 would definitely make them watch a 2313 01:20:55,189 --> 01:20:53,440 little bit closer and may help explain 2314 01:20:58,470 --> 01:20:55,199 why so many are seeing an association 2315 01:20:59,910 --> 01:20:58,480 with military vehicles 2316 01:21:01,510 --> 01:20:59,920 it's getting late in the conversation 2317 01:21:02,870 --> 01:21:01,520 for me to ask you this and i think i 2318 01:21:04,790 --> 01:21:02,880 might hurt my head a little bit and i'm 2319 01:21:07,270 --> 01:21:04,800 going to try and explain this easily for 2320 01:21:09,110 --> 01:21:07,280 myself um you've mentioned a few times 2321 01:21:10,550 --> 01:21:09,120 that we can't go back and change the 2322 01:21:12,070 --> 01:21:10,560 past because it would have to have 2323 01:21:14,550 --> 01:21:12,080 already happened 2324 01:21:15,830 --> 01:21:14,560 so for example if i am here in the 2325 01:21:18,870 --> 01:21:15,840 future 2326 01:21:19,910 --> 01:21:18,880 and or which is my present obviously and 2327 01:21:28,550 --> 01:21:19,920 i 2328 01:21:30,790 --> 01:21:28,560 past 2329 01:21:33,030 --> 01:21:30,800 would that sticker not then be there in 2330 01:21:34,709 --> 01:21:33,040 the future when it wasn't there 2331 01:21:37,030 --> 01:21:34,719 at the time it was my present if that 2332 01:21:38,709 --> 01:21:37,040 makes sense so if i go back to that bit 2333 01:21:40,070 --> 01:21:38,719 of ground that's empty and i put a 2334 01:21:42,390 --> 01:21:40,080 sticker in the past on that bit of 2335 01:21:44,870 --> 01:21:42,400 ground assuming no one ever moves it and 2336 01:21:46,149 --> 01:21:44,880 then i go back to the back to the future 2337 01:21:48,550 --> 01:21:46,159 i'm going to get that stuck in my head 2338 01:21:50,229 --> 01:21:48,560 now i go back to my present would that 2339 01:21:52,550 --> 01:21:50,239 stick or not now then be there and 2340 01:21:54,070 --> 01:21:52,560 therefore i've affected the past or 2341 01:21:54,950 --> 01:21:54,080 would have just always had to have been 2342 01:21:57,350 --> 01:21:54,960 now 2343 01:21:59,189 --> 01:21:57,360 yeah if that sticker wasn't there you 2344 01:22:00,470 --> 01:21:59,199 didn't ever put it there in the past for 2345 01:22:01,830 --> 01:22:00,480 it to be there 2346 01:22:02,629 --> 01:22:01,840 and and 2347 01:22:11,030 --> 01:22:02,639 in 2348 01:22:12,950 --> 01:22:11,040 always have been there you will see it 2349 01:22:15,430 --> 01:22:12,960 and be like why is that sticker there 2350 01:22:17,669 --> 01:22:15,440 that's weird who put that there 2351 01:22:20,310 --> 01:22:17,679 but if it was always you that did it you 2352 01:22:22,790 --> 01:22:20,320 will always go back and it's kind of a 2353 01:22:24,550 --> 01:22:22,800 broader example is if you visit yourself 2354 01:22:27,270 --> 01:22:24,560 in the past 2355 01:22:29,430 --> 01:22:27,280 um if you go if you have a memory of 2356 01:22:32,709 --> 01:22:29,440 interacting with yourself an older 2357 01:22:33,990 --> 01:22:32,719 version of yourself at age 8 let's say 2358 01:22:37,990 --> 01:22:34,000 and the person that came back from the 2359 01:22:38,950 --> 01:22:38,000 future was 45 when you turned 45 2360 01:22:41,350 --> 01:22:38,960 there's 2361 01:22:42,790 --> 01:22:41,360 absolute certainty that you will go back 2362 01:22:44,870 --> 01:22:42,800 and visit your eight-year-old self 2363 01:22:46,709 --> 01:22:44,880 because you will have always already 2364 01:22:48,550 --> 01:22:46,719 done that those two moments are 2365 01:22:50,070 --> 01:22:48,560 connected in space time and there's 2366 01:22:51,669 --> 01:22:50,080 nothing that can change that because in 2367 01:22:54,550 --> 01:22:51,679 the block universe 2368 01:22:56,470 --> 01:22:54,560 everything that can and will ever happen 2369 01:22:57,990 --> 01:22:56,480 already did already exists in this 2370 01:23:00,790 --> 01:22:58,000 massive four-dimensional block of 2371 01:23:02,790 --> 01:23:00,800 space-time so you can't think of it as 2372 01:23:06,229 --> 01:23:02,800 well there could be a change 2373 01:23:07,910 --> 01:23:06,239 and and i i would direct people toward 2374 01:23:09,750 --> 01:23:07,920 the last chapter of my book i can't 2375 01:23:11,430 --> 01:23:09,760 remember her name right now but she's a 2376 01:23:14,709 --> 01:23:11,440 philosopher 2377 01:23:16,310 --> 01:23:14,719 at a university in australia who 2378 01:23:18,870 --> 01:23:16,320 explains this perfectly it's one of my 2379 01:23:20,390 --> 01:23:18,880 favorite explanations of of how backward 2380 01:23:22,470 --> 01:23:20,400 time travel would 2381 01:23:25,270 --> 01:23:22,480 work in the block universe 2382 01:23:26,870 --> 01:23:25,280 and and essentially what she's saying i 2383 01:23:30,390 --> 01:23:26,880 also saw 2384 01:23:33,590 --> 01:23:30,400 i also say speaking of marvel um 2385 01:23:34,870 --> 01:23:33,600 who's the incredible hulk and that dr um 2386 01:23:38,229 --> 01:23:34,880 brisbane 2387 01:23:39,189 --> 01:23:38,239 yeah bruce banner a quote by him from 2388 01:23:41,350 --> 01:23:39,199 um 2389 01:23:42,870 --> 01:23:41,360 god one of their later 2390 01:23:43,750 --> 01:23:42,880 movies i can't remember what it is right 2391 01:23:45,350 --> 01:23:43,760 now 2392 01:23:47,350 --> 01:23:45,360 which says the same thing and 2393 01:23:49,990 --> 01:23:47,360 essentially the best way of thinking of 2394 01:23:53,430 --> 01:23:50,000 it is that anything you do in the past 2395 01:23:57,430 --> 01:23:55,030 when you get to the future everything's 2396 01:23:59,590 --> 01:23:57,440 the same because those moments are all 2397 01:24:01,189 --> 01:23:59,600 structured they're already in existence 2398 01:24:03,430 --> 01:24:01,199 and anything you do isn't going to 2399 01:24:06,709 --> 01:24:03,440 elicit an effect it's just going to be 2400 01:24:09,189 --> 01:24:06,719 what you always have done at that time 2401 01:24:10,950 --> 01:24:09,199 and any change that occurred effect from 2402 01:24:13,110 --> 01:24:10,960 that had already happened before you 2403 01:24:15,270 --> 01:24:13,120 ever went back to do it 2404 01:24:18,229 --> 01:24:15,280 and and that's the essence of the block 2405 01:24:20,470 --> 01:24:18,239 universe and and it is possible and 2406 01:24:23,030 --> 01:24:20,480 it was pointed out to me very shortly 2407 01:24:24,950 --> 01:24:23,040 after my first book came out 2408 01:24:27,030 --> 01:24:24,960 um that i didn't talk about the 2409 01:24:28,709 --> 01:24:27,040 multiverse i didn't talk about 2410 01:24:31,750 --> 01:24:28,719 um the possibility that there's other 2411 01:24:32,550 --> 01:24:31,760 timelines and because 2412 01:24:33,750 --> 01:24:32,560 a 2413 01:24:36,390 --> 01:24:33,760 we don't 2414 01:24:38,470 --> 01:24:36,400 they there's no proof that they exist 2415 01:24:40,629 --> 01:24:38,480 and b there might not be any way of 2416 01:24:42,870 --> 01:24:40,639 studying them even if they do 2417 01:24:44,229 --> 01:24:42,880 so to take a conservative approach and 2418 01:24:47,750 --> 01:24:44,239 in writing a book that already 2419 01:24:50,629 --> 01:24:47,760 challenges my job so much and my my 2420 01:24:53,110 --> 01:24:50,639 career you know taking that that risk i 2421 01:24:55,110 --> 01:24:53,120 needed to keep everything rooted in the 2422 01:24:56,550 --> 01:24:55,120 best evidence we have now 2423 01:24:58,390 --> 01:24:56,560 it would have been fun to speculate 2424 01:25:00,390 --> 01:24:58,400 wildly about the multiverse and these 2425 01:25:03,350 --> 01:25:00,400 different timelines but the the 2426 01:25:05,510 --> 01:25:03,360 consensus among physicists today 2427 01:25:06,950 --> 01:25:05,520 is that the block universe is real and 2428 01:25:08,790 --> 01:25:06,960 and it's easier to understand time 2429 01:25:11,189 --> 01:25:08,800 travel in the context of the block 2430 01:25:13,189 --> 01:25:11,199 universe the the multiverse actually 2431 01:25:15,189 --> 01:25:13,199 makes it really weird and that's when 2432 01:25:16,870 --> 01:25:15,199 you have these paradoxes once you 2433 01:25:18,229 --> 01:25:16,880 interject change 2434 01:25:20,310 --> 01:25:18,239 into the question 2435 01:25:22,229 --> 01:25:20,320 all of these paradoxes that we've we've 2436 01:25:24,149 --> 01:25:22,239 learned about through mass media and 2437 01:25:25,590 --> 01:25:24,159 movies come into play in the block 2438 01:25:28,390 --> 01:25:25,600 universe they don't 2439 01:25:31,910 --> 01:25:28,400 so it's just a simpler model 2440 01:25:33,750 --> 01:25:31,920 and whole and and i think um 2441 01:25:36,709 --> 01:25:33,760 i i don't know i feel like it's 2442 01:25:39,350 --> 01:25:36,719 intuitive and it's very understandable 2443 01:25:41,510 --> 01:25:39,360 but i've also been reading about it 2444 01:25:42,709 --> 01:25:41,520 since i was in high school so it's just 2445 01:25:45,030 --> 01:25:42,719 in there now 2446 01:25:47,510 --> 01:25:45,040 but but i i and it should be for 2447 01:25:49,430 --> 01:25:47,520 everybody everybody should look in to 2448 01:25:51,910 --> 01:25:49,440 you know read a book by paul davies for 2449 01:25:55,110 --> 01:25:51,920 instance read kip thorne's work 2450 01:25:56,709 --> 01:25:55,120 on on on time and space uh stephen 2451 01:25:58,709 --> 01:25:56,719 hawking obviously even though he's a 2452 01:26:02,390 --> 01:25:58,719 staunch critic of backward time travel 2453 01:26:04,149 --> 01:26:02,400 he's sort of the guru of time so 2454 01:26:06,709 --> 01:26:04,159 read about it it's fascinating and it 2455 01:26:08,470 --> 01:26:06,719 does hurt your brain but 2456 01:26:10,870 --> 01:26:08,480 i don't know i guess i'm masochistic in 2457 01:26:13,030 --> 01:26:10,880 a way because i've always enjoyed that 2458 01:26:16,229 --> 01:26:13,040 um the question from dave talks about 2459 01:26:18,229 --> 01:26:16,239 the very famous now slide nine that 2460 01:26:19,350 --> 01:26:18,239 louise elizondo and help it off have 2461 01:26:21,430 --> 01:26:19,360 talked about is that something you're 2462 01:26:23,750 --> 01:26:21,440 aware of what's it called 2463 01:26:25,910 --> 01:26:23,760 slide nine it was part of a presentation 2464 01:26:27,590 --> 01:26:25,920 from atip and it was a i'll bring it up 2465 01:26:29,910 --> 01:26:27,600 just so i get the the wording correctly 2466 01:26:31,830 --> 01:26:29,920 here but it was a dod's threat scenario 2467 01:26:33,990 --> 01:26:31,840 it was a tip it was one of their slides 2468 01:26:35,510 --> 01:26:34,000 in a presentation and it reads that the 2469 01:26:37,270 --> 01:26:35,520 science exists for an enemy of the 2470 01:26:39,750 --> 01:26:37,280 united states to manipulate both 2471 01:26:42,310 --> 01:26:39,760 physical and cognitive environments in 2472 01:26:44,629 --> 01:26:42,320 order to penetrate us facilities 2473 01:26:46,629 --> 01:26:44,639 influence decision makers and compromise 2474 01:26:48,830 --> 01:26:46,639 national security and it talks about 2475 01:26:52,229 --> 01:26:48,840 psychotronic weapons cognitive human 2476 01:26:55,590 --> 01:26:52,239 interference or interface um penetration 2477 01:26:57,590 --> 01:26:55,600 of solid surfaces uh and other things we 2478 01:26:59,510 --> 01:26:57,600 would associate with unidentified aerial 2479 01:27:01,590 --> 01:26:59,520 phenomena and he just wonders do you 2480 01:27:03,350 --> 01:27:01,600 think those sort of sorts of activities 2481 01:27:05,910 --> 01:27:03,360 are potentially also linked to future 2482 01:27:10,950 --> 01:27:08,310 you know i i don't have the knowledge 2483 01:27:12,790 --> 01:27:10,960 base to answer that question um 2484 01:27:15,510 --> 01:27:12,800 that's undoubtedly going to be my next 2485 01:27:17,750 --> 01:27:15,520 rabbit hole but for now i i don't i 2486 01:27:19,830 --> 01:27:17,760 don't know enough about it to comment uh 2487 01:27:21,830 --> 01:27:19,840 so i apologize to the 2488 01:27:23,590 --> 01:27:21,840 the viewer for not being able to give an 2489 01:27:25,430 --> 01:27:23,600 answer to them that's all right dave's 2490 01:27:28,229 --> 01:27:25,440 got plenty of questions let me follow up 2491 01:27:30,390 --> 01:27:28,239 with another one uh and dave also asks 2492 01:27:33,350 --> 01:27:30,400 do you have a profile for future humans 2493 01:27:35,750 --> 01:27:33,360 in terms of appearance craft tech 2494 01:27:37,750 --> 01:27:35,760 and if you do what is that 2495 01:27:38,870 --> 01:27:37,760 um that's an interesting question 2496 01:27:41,270 --> 01:27:38,880 um 2497 01:27:42,550 --> 01:27:41,280 i don't really because it it's 2498 01:27:45,270 --> 01:27:42,560 changeable it'd be like saying do you 2499 01:27:47,189 --> 01:27:45,280 have a profile for modern humans with 2500 01:27:49,910 --> 01:27:47,199 regard to 2501 01:27:52,470 --> 01:27:49,920 their physiology their technology 2502 01:27:55,110 --> 01:27:52,480 you can you can take random samples of 2503 01:27:57,830 --> 01:27:55,120 people from all over the world including 2504 01:27:58,950 --> 01:27:57,840 those yet to be contacted amazonian 2505 01:28:01,110 --> 01:27:58,960 tribes 2506 01:28:02,950 --> 01:28:01,120 and then lay out all of their technology 2507 01:28:04,870 --> 01:28:02,960 look at their physical form 2508 01:28:06,310 --> 01:28:04,880 and then you try to say all right what's 2509 01:28:08,310 --> 01:28:06,320 the average 2510 01:28:09,750 --> 01:28:08,320 human and their physiology and 2511 01:28:12,709 --> 01:28:09,760 technology you just can't do it because 2512 01:28:15,030 --> 01:28:12,719 we're so variable and i feel like that 2513 01:28:16,070 --> 01:28:15,040 variation will persist into the future 2514 01:28:18,790 --> 01:28:16,080 but then 2515 01:28:21,350 --> 01:28:18,800 it's also complicated or not complicated 2516 01:28:23,750 --> 01:28:21,360 but that variation is added too 2517 01:28:25,750 --> 01:28:23,760 by temporal variation 2518 01:28:27,030 --> 01:28:25,760 obviously someone coming back from 100 2519 01:28:28,470 --> 01:28:27,040 years in the future is going to have a 2520 01:28:31,189 --> 01:28:28,480 different physical form and different 2521 01:28:33,510 --> 01:28:31,199 technology than someone 300 years in the 2522 01:28:35,110 --> 01:28:33,520 future 3 000 years in the future 20 000 2523 01:28:36,790 --> 01:28:35,120 years in the future so if that 2524 01:28:38,229 --> 01:28:36,800 technology continues to exist and 2525 01:28:40,390 --> 01:28:38,239 they're coming from multiple different 2526 01:28:43,830 --> 01:28:40,400 time periods spread throughout the 2527 01:28:46,390 --> 01:28:43,840 hominin future that adds to all of the 2528 01:28:48,310 --> 01:28:46,400 existing variation that exists in each 2529 01:28:49,430 --> 01:28:48,320 of those time periods 2530 01:28:50,629 --> 01:28:49,440 um 2531 01:28:52,470 --> 01:28:50,639 so it's not really an answer to the 2532 01:28:54,550 --> 01:28:52,480 question but i think it's important to 2533 01:28:56,870 --> 01:28:54,560 acknowledge that because it needs to be 2534 01:28:57,910 --> 01:28:56,880 taken into account it's a big part 2535 01:29:00,229 --> 01:28:57,920 of 2536 01:29:02,070 --> 01:29:00,239 you know how it's hard to project 2537 01:29:04,149 --> 01:29:02,080 our humanness into the future when 2538 01:29:07,030 --> 01:29:04,159 people used to ask me you know how long 2539 01:29:09,110 --> 01:29:07,040 will it take for us to become the greys 2540 01:29:11,750 --> 01:29:09,120 well there's there's sex variation 2541 01:29:13,110 --> 01:29:11,760 there's geographic variation there's age 2542 01:29:14,709 --> 01:29:13,120 variation 2543 01:29:16,870 --> 01:29:14,719 all of those things need to be taken 2544 01:29:18,790 --> 01:29:16,880 into account we just don't have enough 2545 01:29:20,950 --> 01:29:18,800 data from these future humans to be able 2546 01:29:22,550 --> 01:29:20,960 to do that so i never felt comfortable 2547 01:29:24,950 --> 01:29:22,560 answering that question 2548 01:29:27,510 --> 01:29:24,960 no that's fair and final question from 2549 01:29:29,430 --> 01:29:27,520 newman uh newman asks and he's gave me 2550 01:29:31,510 --> 01:29:29,440 some context behind us as well clearly 2551 01:29:33,510 --> 01:29:31,520 having already read the book um the 2552 01:29:35,510 --> 01:29:33,520 question is james fox the director of 2553 01:29:38,070 --> 01:29:35,520 the phenomenon and upcoming virginia 2554 01:29:39,830 --> 01:29:38,080 case moment of contact um stated that 2555 01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:39,840 his sources claimed that at least one 2556 01:29:45,110 --> 01:29:41,760 percent of the human population are 2557 01:29:46,790 --> 01:29:45,120 human alien hybrids likewise former cia 2558 01:29:49,430 --> 01:29:46,800 john ramirez who's also been interviewed 2559 01:29:51,510 --> 01:29:49,440 on the podcast i watched that one yeah i 2560 01:29:53,430 --> 01:29:51,520 watched that podcast it was 2561 01:29:55,430 --> 01:29:53,440 john's a really nice guy yeah it seemed 2562 01:29:57,430 --> 01:29:55,440 like it he's also heard this claim 2563 01:30:00,070 --> 01:29:57,440 within a briefing he attended 2564 01:30:01,590 --> 01:30:00,080 in light of your extraterpestrial model 2565 01:30:03,430 --> 01:30:01,600 can you give any opinion on the 2566 01:30:06,790 --> 01:30:03,440 statement that hybrids are actually 2567 01:30:08,870 --> 01:30:06,800 already walking among us 2568 01:30:09,750 --> 01:30:08,880 yeah absolutely um and i love that 2569 01:30:12,550 --> 01:30:09,760 question 2570 01:30:15,669 --> 01:30:12,560 and and as people who have read 2571 01:30:17,350 --> 01:30:15,679 either of my books no and this uh 2572 01:30:20,470 --> 01:30:17,360 listener 2573 01:30:22,709 --> 01:30:20,480 um what is was his name again newman 2574 01:30:23,990 --> 01:30:22,719 newman like newman 2575 01:30:26,470 --> 01:30:24,000 yeah okay 2576 01:30:32,070 --> 01:30:29,510 it's so hard for me not to do the 2577 01:30:34,550 --> 01:30:32,080 jerry seinfeld newman scream there but 2578 01:30:36,070 --> 01:30:34,560 i'm i'm holding back i'm exercising free 2579 01:30:38,149 --> 01:30:36,080 will at the moment 2580 01:30:40,470 --> 01:30:38,159 um it's it's important to acknowledge 2581 01:30:42,229 --> 01:30:40,480 the biological classification of species 2582 01:30:43,669 --> 01:30:42,239 concept that if we're talking about 2583 01:30:45,590 --> 01:30:43,679 hybrids 2584 01:30:48,790 --> 01:30:45,600 and obviously it could make the case 2585 01:30:50,870 --> 01:30:48,800 that an advanced extraterrestrial 2586 01:30:52,470 --> 01:30:50,880 species would be able to maybe figure 2587 01:30:53,830 --> 01:30:52,480 out a way to combine 2588 01:30:56,629 --> 01:30:53,840 our genome 2589 01:30:58,229 --> 01:30:56,639 a simpler explanation is that they're 2590 01:31:00,149 --> 01:30:58,239 already us and they already share a 2591 01:31:03,510 --> 01:31:00,159 genome and we can already reproduce with 2592 01:31:06,070 --> 01:31:03,520 them so these hybrids i think are a good 2593 01:31:08,470 --> 01:31:06,080 indication of this future human model 2594 01:31:09,430 --> 01:31:08,480 this extra tempestual model because if 2595 01:31:11,510 --> 01:31:09,440 you can 2596 01:31:14,070 --> 01:31:11,520 reproduce two species 2597 01:31:16,070 --> 01:31:14,080 uh or alleged separate species and 2598 01:31:17,669 --> 01:31:16,080 create viable offspring that can go on 2599 01:31:18,870 --> 01:31:17,679 to reproduce itself they are by 2600 01:31:20,629 --> 01:31:18,880 definition 2601 01:31:21,590 --> 01:31:20,639 the same species 2602 01:31:23,590 --> 01:31:21,600 um 2603 01:31:25,189 --> 01:31:23,600 and i've also met these people you know 2604 01:31:27,669 --> 01:31:25,199 from a last 2605 01:31:29,110 --> 01:31:27,679 nerdy scientific standpoint i've met a 2606 01:31:31,110 --> 01:31:29,120 lot of people 2607 01:31:32,950 --> 01:31:31,120 whose grandmother 2608 01:31:34,470 --> 01:31:32,960 had a strange pregnancy that she 2609 01:31:36,629 --> 01:31:34,480 couldn't explain 2610 01:31:39,350 --> 01:31:36,639 these people often have uh 2611 01:31:41,510 --> 01:31:39,360 psychic powers they they have telepathy 2612 01:31:43,669 --> 01:31:41,520 they can remote view easier than other 2613 01:31:45,270 --> 01:31:43,679 people and you start to hear enough of 2614 01:31:47,590 --> 01:31:45,280 these and you're like 2615 01:31:49,990 --> 01:31:47,600 well damn maybe this is happening 2616 01:31:51,270 --> 01:31:50,000 why is the obvious question what's the 2617 01:31:53,669 --> 01:31:51,280 end game 2618 01:31:56,149 --> 01:31:53,679 is it some sort of experiment 2619 01:31:58,470 --> 01:31:56,159 but what's cool about it is it indicates 2620 01:32:00,790 --> 01:31:58,480 that some of these psi capabilities are 2621 01:32:03,189 --> 01:32:00,800 heritable characteristics they're not 2622 01:32:05,750 --> 01:32:03,199 learned that if you have an individual 2623 01:32:07,990 --> 01:32:05,760 from say 15 000 years in the future 2624 01:32:11,030 --> 01:32:08,000 that's already developed telepathy and 2625 01:32:12,550 --> 01:32:11,040 that ability to communicate in a very 2626 01:32:13,669 --> 01:32:12,560 interesting one 2627 01:32:16,070 --> 01:32:13,679 and they 2628 01:32:18,470 --> 01:32:16,080 somehow reproduce with or interject 2629 01:32:19,510 --> 01:32:18,480 their genome into someone from this time 2630 01:32:20,709 --> 01:32:19,520 period 2631 01:32:23,750 --> 01:32:20,719 but then 2632 01:32:25,510 --> 01:32:23,760 someone two generations down from them 2633 01:32:27,830 --> 01:32:25,520 still has that capability that's 2634 01:32:29,830 --> 01:32:27,840 fascinating that's really 2635 01:32:32,870 --> 01:32:29,840 indicative of some 2636 01:32:34,470 --> 01:32:32,880 evolutionary aspect of our consciousness 2637 01:32:37,590 --> 01:32:34,480 and our brains 2638 01:32:39,590 --> 01:32:37,600 that that we don't yet have and and so 2639 01:32:41,030 --> 01:32:39,600 yeah i i hope that's true i mean 2640 01:32:42,390 --> 01:32:41,040 obviously how do you 2641 01:32:45,030 --> 01:32:42,400 test that how do you figure out if one 2642 01:32:46,709 --> 01:32:45,040 percent of the human population 2643 01:32:49,510 --> 01:32:46,719 is a hybrid but 2644 01:32:52,790 --> 01:32:49,520 having met these people and seeing them 2645 01:32:54,470 --> 01:32:52,800 demonstrate their abilities i i would 2646 01:32:56,790 --> 01:32:54,480 tend to believe that more and i use the 2647 01:32:59,669 --> 01:32:56,800 word belief because i don't have a way 2648 01:33:03,270 --> 01:32:59,679 of of testing this scientifically 2649 01:33:04,470 --> 01:33:03,280 but i i think there's something to that 2650 01:33:06,149 --> 01:33:04,480 well look we have covered a lot of 2651 01:33:07,990 --> 01:33:06,159 ground and thank you to everyone who 2652 01:33:09,910 --> 01:33:08,000 sent in questions and apologies to those 2653 01:33:12,550 --> 01:33:09,920 who didn't get theirs answered this time 2654 01:33:14,790 --> 01:33:12,560 round i definitely recommend you pick up 2655 01:33:16,229 -->

01:33:31,990 --> 01:33:29,440 best option and i say unfortunately 2662 01:33:33,830 --> 01:33:32,000 because they sort of took over the book 2663 01:33:35,990 --> 01:33:33,840 they took over everything am i kidding 2664 01:33:38,470 --> 01:33:36,000 yeah 2665 01:33:40,550 --> 01:33:38,480 but if you have a local bookshop have 2666 01:33:42,229 --> 01:33:40,560 have them get it i do also
