1 00:00:04,710 --> 00:00:02,310 physics dedicated to the explication of 2 00:00:07,110 --> 00:00:04,720 what are called theories of everything 3 00:00:09,190 --> 00:00:07,120 from a theoretical physics perspective 4 00:00:10,870 --> 00:00:09,200 but as well as outlining the possible 5 00:00:13,030 --> 00:00:10,880 connection consciousness has to the 6 00:00:15,110 --> 00:00:13,040 fundamental laws of nature provided 7 00:00:18,070 --> 00:00:15,120 those laws exist at all and are knowable 8 00:00:20,710 --> 00:00:18,080 to us kurt jaymungal also happens to be 9 00:00:23,269 --> 00:00:20,720 myself as this is and ask me anything 10 00:00:24,870 --> 00:00:23,279 that was recorded live on october 27th 11 00:00:27,029 --> 00:00:24,880 2021 12 00:00:29,509 --> 00:00:27,039 thank you and enjoy this ask me anything 13 00:00:31,830 --> 00:00:29,519 with kurt jaimungle 14 00:00:47,830 --> 00:00:31,840 if you can see this type art vandelay 15 00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:50,229 okay if you can see this type itchy and 16 00:00:57,350 --> 00:00:51,360 scratchy 17 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,349 all right 18 00:01:05,429 --> 00:01:03,189 okay 19 00:01:07,310 --> 00:01:05,439 so there are quite a few questions 20 00:01:09,510 --> 00:01:07,320 i think there are approximately 21 00:01:11,750 --> 00:01:09,520 130 or so 22 00:01:13,670 --> 00:01:11,760 so if i see him 23 00:01:14,950 --> 00:01:13,680 and or curt 24 00:01:16,789 --> 00:01:14,960 then 25 00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:16,799 well i have to be in order to get 26 00:01:19,830 --> 00:01:18,880 through these 27 00:01:24,149 --> 00:01:19,840 okay 28 00:01:30,789 --> 00:01:28,390 so six pool six ix pool asks 29 00:01:33,749 --> 00:01:30,799 kurt which toe is your favorite so far i 30 00:01:34,469 --> 00:01:33,759 like wolfram box take i like wolframs 31 00:01:40,230 --> 00:01:34,479 and 32 00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:40,240 your thoughts are on those in particular 33 00:01:44,550 --> 00:01:43,040 um now for me some people say it's like 34 00:01:45,429 --> 00:01:44,560 choosing babies which one is your 35 00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:45,439 favorite 36 00:01:48,630 --> 00:01:46,960 but that would imply that i have an 37 00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:48,640 attachment to them and they don't have 38 00:01:52,149 --> 00:01:50,720 an attachment to any particular toe it's 39 00:01:54,149 --> 00:01:52,159 more like asking me which renaissance 40 00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:54,159 painting is my favorite i don't know 41 00:01:58,149 --> 00:01:56,000 enough about renaissance paintings in 42 00:02:00,709 --> 00:01:58,159 order to have some favorite 43 00:02:02,950 --> 00:02:00,719 i don't have a criteria to compare them 44 00:02:04,469 --> 00:02:02,960 i don't have some integrated world view 45 00:02:05,830 --> 00:02:04,479 that would necessarily need to be there 46 00:02:10,150 --> 00:02:05,840 in order for me to see the connections 47 00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:12,150 now for bach i don't understand what he 48 00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:15,280 means precisely by simulation 49 00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:18,640 so i i don't understand why 50 00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:20,640 such a process would entail an 51 00:02:24,869 --> 00:02:22,480 experiential element 52 00:02:26,550 --> 00:02:24,879 for wolfram i understand wolfram wolfram 53 00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:26,560 speaks my language 54 00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:28,000 as for which one's my favorite again i 55 00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:29,760 don't have a i don't have a favorite i 56 00:02:33,430 --> 00:02:31,760 have some that i like and dislike but 57 00:02:36,229 --> 00:02:33,440 it's difficult for me to 58 00:02:39,110 --> 00:02:36,239 disentangle the theory from the person 59 00:02:41,430 --> 00:02:39,120 proposing the theory here's an example i 60 00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:41,440 recently spoke to carlo revelli 61 00:02:46,309 --> 00:02:44,319 i happened to like carla rivelli plenty 62 00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:46,319 because of our relationship once we 63 00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:48,800 spoke same with the mcgill christ so i 64 00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:50,720 know that unconsciously i'll ascribe 65 00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:53,519 them more positive points than i would 66 00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:55,760 if i didn't get along with the person 67 00:03:01,750 --> 00:02:57,680 and i'm extremely careful about making 68 00:03:04,550 --> 00:03:03,509 which toe i like and dislike because of 69 00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:04,560 that 70 00:03:08,949 --> 00:03:07,200 reason i don't take it lightly 71 00:03:10,309 --> 00:03:08,959 okay mark n says 72 00:03:12,550 --> 00:03:10,319 do you now consider yourself a 73 00:03:15,509 --> 00:03:12,560 non-dualist is this a concept you've 74 00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:15,519 worked with for a while 75 00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:17,760 has one of your guests convinced you or 76 00:03:21,990 --> 00:03:19,840 brought you closer to this i'm not a 77 00:03:23,430 --> 00:03:22,000 non-dualist and i don't think you can 78 00:03:25,670 --> 00:03:23,440 claim to be a non-dualist if you 79 00:03:27,430 --> 00:03:25,680 actually were one because to say it with 80 00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:27,440 words implies the opposite of 81 00:03:31,589 --> 00:03:29,920 non-dualism so in either sense i'm not a 82 00:03:34,149 --> 00:03:31,599 non-dualist 83 00:03:35,750 --> 00:03:34,159 sis moan straw 84 00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:35,760

whenever he's ready abeer maginder 91 00:03:56,710 --> 00:03:55,110 see some of these questions aren't 92 00:04:05,589 --> 00:03:56,720 written 93 00:04:08,229 --> 00:04:05,599 exactly grammatically correctly because 94 00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:08,239 i skim quite quickly and then if it and 95 00:04:11,589 --> 00:04:09,840 then if it doesn't cohere i have to keep 96 00:04:14,309 --> 00:04:11,599 going back to the beginning hey kurt i 97 00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:14,319 want to ask what are researching on or 98 00:04:17,749 --> 00:04:16,320 want to research in the future so kurt i 99 00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:17,759 want to ask what are you researching and 100 00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:18,880 what would you like to research in the 101 00:04:21,749 --> 00:04:20,400 future 102 00:04:22,950 --> 00:04:21,759 how do you research your guest number 103 00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:22,960 two and how long does it take to 104 00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:24,720 research about a guest 105 00:04:27,830 --> 00:04:26,240 three what are your views so there's 106 00:04:30,070 --> 00:04:27,840 quite a few questions here what are your 107 00:04:31,909 --> 00:04:30,080 views on ethics for how do you take 108 00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:31,919 biotechnology okay i'm not going to 109 00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:33,680 answer that five 110 00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:34,960 what are your views on happiness and 111 00:04:39,110 --> 00:04:36,479 well-being 112 00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:39,120 six how do you find peace and chaos 113 00:04:42,629 --> 00:04:41,520 and lastly how do you chill 114 00:04:45,510 --> 00:04:42,639 thanks 115 00:04:47,670 --> 00:04:45,520 for these amazing interviews and your 116 00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:47,680 love for us 117 00:04:52,070 --> 00:04:49,840 well as for researching i just watch 118 00:04:54,469 --> 00:04:52,080 lectures i go through someone's google 119 00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:54,479 scholar page if they're a scholar and i 120 00:04:59,110 --> 00:04:57,040 sort by most cited and then most recent 121 00:05:03,110 --> 00:04:59,120 and i look at a few of those i don't 122 00:05:05,189 --> 00:05:03,120 print them i usually read digitally 123 00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:05,199 i don't have a view on ethics i think 124 00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:06,160 it's 125 00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:08,800 a secular and at times cowardly way of 126 00:05:12,790 --> 00:05:11,280 saying morality without making an appeal 127 00:05:14,790 --> 00:05:12,800 to morality 128 00:05:17,029 --> 00:05:14,800 because people have got a phobia they're 129 00:05:19,590 --> 00:05:17,039 afraid to invoke the usage of god or 130 00:05:22,870 --> 00:05:19,600 objective morality and people like to 131 00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:22,880 appear to be enlightened rational people 132 00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:25,919 or more specifically they like to not 133 00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:27,360 appear to be 134 00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:29,440 like those backward religious people and 135 00:05:33,430 --> 00:05:31,520 by religious they tend to mean a straw 136 00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:33,440 man of what religious 137 00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:34,320 is 138 00:05:40,070 --> 00:05:38,560 wonderful state it's a wonderful 139 00:05:42,070 --> 00:05:40,080 wondrous state 140 00:05:43,749 --> 00:05:42,080 that's my view on it as for peace and 141 00:05:45,670 --> 00:05:43,759 chaos i don't i luckily don't have much 142 00:05:47,189 --> 00:05:45,680 chaos in my life 143 00:05:49,670 --> 00:05:47,199 i also wouldn't say that i have a great 144 00:05:52,390 --> 00:05:49,680 deal of peace unless i'm with my wife or 145 00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:52,400 i'm driving i like long 146 00:05:55,990 --> 00:05:53,440 drives 147 00:05:56,870 --> 00:05:56,000 alone i enjoy much of my day almost each 148 00:05:59,510 --> 00:05:56,880 minute 149 00:06:01,430 --> 00:05:59,520 except if i have to edit which i so 150 00:06:03,270 --> 00:06:01,440 despise video editing 151 00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:03,280 and they often take half of the day if i 152 00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:05,360 have to more than half of the day for 153 00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:07,840 example leo guru took two days 154 00:06:11,670 --> 00:06:09,520 as for chilling i don't chill much i'm 155 00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:11,680 not a chill person per se if i chill 156 00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:12,880 it's with my 157 00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:16,000 brother we have what we call bro dinners 158 00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:18,240 and those sometimes get philosophical 159 00:06:23,590 --> 00:06:20,720 though in an unfurled manner and i also 160 00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:23,600 enjoy spending time with my wife 161 00:06:28,629 --> 00:06:25,440 i look forward to playing video games 162 00:06:29,749 --> 00:06:28,639 again and i just 163

00:08:20,240 extremely poor in 214 00:08:23,510 --> 00:08:21,520 high school in particular i don't know 215 00:08:26,710 --> 00:08:23,520 how i ended up getting into university 216 00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:26,720 let alone university of toronto given my 217 00:08:30,790 --> 00:08:28,560 grades i was poor in everything except 218 00:08:33,190 --> 00:08:30,800 math and physics and even there i didn't 219 00:08:36,630 --> 00:08:33,200 submit my assignments i despised doing 220 00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:36,640 assignments i can do well on exams and i 221 00:08:40,469 --> 00:08:39,039 luckily had a physics teacher that said 222 00:08:43,509 --> 00:08:40,479 kurt i don't want to be known as the guy 223 00:08:46,389 --> 00:08:45,110 i'm not trying to sound egotistical but 224 00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:46,399 he said this i don't want to be known as 225 00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:48,000 the guy who failed the next einstein 226 00:08:51,269 --> 00:08:49,279 because at the time i would ask him 227 00:08:52,470 --> 00:08:51,279 advanced physics questions so luckily 228 00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:52,480 even though i should have got a failing 229 00:08:56,389 --> 00:08:54,480 grade in physics he gave me an 80 or 90 230 00:08:59,430 --> 00:08:56,399 or or what have you 231 00:09:00,710 --> 00:08:59,440 based on the exam alone 232 00:09:03,269 --> 00:09:00,720 and perhaps that's what allowed me to 233 00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:03,279 get into math and physics at u of t 234 00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:04,560 there are some people who asked 235 00:09:09,030 --> 00:09:07,200 questions before the live stream started 236 00:09:11,350 --> 00:09:09,040 i don't have access to those 237 00:09:12,550 --> 00:09:11,360 so if you don't mind you can 238 00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:12,560 ask again 239 00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:15,440 mortarsport asks who is my dream guest 240 00:09:19,430 --> 00:09:17,040 i've consistently said 241 00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:19,440 it's donald hofstetter daniel dennett is 242 00:09:22,949 --> 00:09:21,760 also up there human being what kind of 243 00:09:24,310 --> 00:09:22,959 light bulbs do you use to color the 244 00:09:25,829 --> 00:09:24,320 background let's see these i don't mind 245 00:09:27,190 --> 00:09:25,839 as i like answering these behind the 246 00:09:31,750 --> 00:09:27,200 scene 247 00:09:36,150 --> 00:09:33,350 so as for a lighting setup i have a 248 00:09:39,110 --> 00:09:36,160 light right here 249 00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:39,120 let's get closer and that serves as a 250 00:09:43,030 --> 00:09:41,200 rim light if you know what if you know a 251 00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:43,040 little bit about cinematography serves 252 00:09:47,269 --> 00:09:45,360 as a rim light i have two lights here 253 00:09:49,509 --> 00:09:47,279 which are 254 00:09:51,509 --> 00:09:49,519 i think they're called sad lamps so they 255 00:09:53,750 --> 00:09:51,519 have the wavelength of the sun this may 256 00:09:55,910 --> 00:09:53,760 be another reason why i have such 257 00:09:57,110 --> 00:09:55,920 extreme sleep problems because when i'm 258 00:09:59,430 --> 00:09:57,120 having a 259 00:10:01,590 --> 00:09:59,440 podcast sometimes it goes on until 9 pm 260 00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:01,600 and what i have right here it's telling 261 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,829 as for behind me i have 262 00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:13,990 it's an infrared light therapy which i 263 00:10:20,710 --> 00:10:18,160 just turn on or my wife turns on 264 00:10:22,389 --> 00:10:20,720 and it bathes the back in red 265 00:10:24,069 --> 00:10:22,399 roy dobson 266 00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:24,079 if you believe what rupert and leo have 267 00:10:26,790 --> 00:10:25,680 told you that you are god wouldn't it be 268 00:10:28,870 --> 00:10:26,800 logical 269 00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:28,880 to investigate and follow that path with 270 00:10:33,430 --> 00:10:31,120 rigor even if it reveals everything you 271 00:10:35,030 --> 00:10:33,440 took to believe is true to be false i 272 00:10:37,110 --> 00:10:35,040 don't know by 273 00:10:40,389 --> 00:10:37,120 i don't i don't believe logic is the way 274 00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:40,399 to truth necessarily unless one modifies 275 00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:43,120 what one means by logic 276 00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:44,800 most of the time when people make a 277 00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:46,480 statement that they think is logical or 278 00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:48,240 rational it's driven by so many 279 00:10:51,590 --> 00:10:50,160 unconscious motivations i think people 280 00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:51,600 have an unconscious motivation to 281 00:10:55,430 --> 00:10:53,680 believe their their god 282 00:10:57,829 --> 00:10:55,440 i think it also may be true depending on 283 00:11:00,230 --> 00:10:57,839 what god means well if one takes god to 284 00:11:01,829 --> 00:11:00,240 be reality you're a part of reality in 285 00:11:03,829 --> 00:11:01,839 what way do you think okay so this one 286 00:11:06,550 --> 00:11:03,839 comes from in dream 287 00:11:07,910 --> 00:11:06,560 aptly named because he asks or he or she 288 00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:07,920 asks in what way do you think we're 289 00:11:12,310 --> 00:11:09,760 living in plato's cave 290 00:11:14,310 --> 00:11:12,320 plato's cave 291 00:11:15,829 --> 00:11:14,320 well 292 00:11:16,949 --> 00:11:15,839 in many ways i'll just leave it at that 293 00:11:19,110 --> 00:11:16,959 in many ways 294 00:11:20,550 --> 00:11:19,120 scott larkin asks kurt thank you for 295 00:11:21,910 --> 00:11:20,560 your work i know you're busy however 296 00:11:24,470 --> 00:11:21,920 would you consider 297 00:11:26,550 --> 00:11:24,480 checking out the super suspicious 298 00:11:27,590 --> 00:11:26,560 observers youtube channel looking at the 299 00:11:30,069 --> 00:11:27,600 12 300 00:11:32,389 --> 00:11:30,079 000 year disaster playlist 301 00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:32,399 yes i would consider it as for whether 302 00:11:36,550 --> 00:11:34,640 or not i'll get around to it that's 303 00:11:39,430 --> 00:11:36,560 another question thank you scott 304 00:11:40,870 --> 00:11:39,440 so bc asks having a conversation how 305 00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:40,880 long do you think it would take chris 306 00:11:45,670 --> 00:11:44,320 langan to leave leogara speechless 307 00:11:47,509 --> 00:11:45,680 okay 308 00:11:50,389 --> 00:11:47,519 well to me that would be like loading a 309 00:11:52,790 --> 00:11:50,399 nintendo game into a ps5 or vice versa 310 00:11:54,870 --> 00:11:52,800 they're just incompatible both in their 311 00:11:56,949 --> 00:11:54,880 philosophies and their 312 00:11:58,790 --> 00:11:56,959 disposition 313 00:12:00,230 --> 00:11:58,800 i think both would leave one another 314 00:12:02,470 --> 00:12:00,240 speechless after 315 00:12:04,630 --> 00:12:02,480 a minute or two minutes 316 00:12:06,629 --> 00:12:04,640 griswold grimm says what would i like to 317 00:12:08,629 --> 00:12:06,639 be doing in five years 318 00:12:10,310 --> 00:12:08,639 i'm not sure and i imagine it's not this 319 00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:10,320 my instinct tells me that this has about 320 00:12:14,069 --> 00:12:12,160 three years left in it when i say this i 321 00:12:16,150 --> 00:12:14,079 mean the toe channel it would be great 322 00:12:18,470 --> 00:12:16,160 to continue to speak to people who i'm 323 00:12:20,150 --> 00:12:18,480 decidedly interested in and interviewing 324 00:12:21,910 --> 00:12:20,160 people for the not for the sake of 325 00:12:25,030 --> 00:12:21,920 interviewing but because i'm interested 326 00:12:26,230 --> 00:12:25,040 in speaking with them i see many people 327 00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:26,240 who 328 00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:28,800 are podcasters speak to people 329 00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:30,160 just for the sake of bolstering their 330 00:12:33,829 --> 00:12:31,680 podcasts 331 00:12:35,750 --> 00:12:33,839 and i don't i would not like to be like 332 00:12:37,430 --> 00:12:35,760 that 333 00:12:39,430 --> 00:12:37,440 part of the appeal of this channel is so 334 00:12:40,949 --> 00:12:39,440 it's something like breaking bad where 335 00:12:42,870 --> 00:12:40,959 since it's inception there's a 336 00:12:44,870 --> 00:12:42,880 conceivable end goal 337 00:12:47,190 --> 00:12:44,880 it's more like a project than a podcast 338 00:12:49,190 --> 00:12:47,200 and the project is explicating toes 339 00:12:51,269 --> 00:12:49,200 which may have an end date it's also 340 00:12:53,670 --> 00:12:51,279 perhaps the sub project of cultivating 341 00:12:55,670 --> 00:12:53,680 one's own toe perhaps my own or the 342 00:12:57,509 --> 00:12:55,680 communities 343 00:12:59,910 --> 00:12:57,519 and just so you know when i say the 344 00:13:01,350 --> 00:12:59,920 community is what i'm referring to is 345 00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:01,360 the youtube comments but also the 346 00:13:04,870 --> 00:13:03,760 discord and the subreddit 347 00:13:07,110 --> 00:13:04,880 if you would like to go to those the 348 00:13:09,110 --> 00:13:07,120 subreddit is reddit.com 349 00:13:10,470 --> 00:13:09,120 r slash theories of everything and then 350 00:13:12,629 --> 00:13:10,480 the discord you'll have to look in the 351 00:13:14,949 --> 00:13:12,639 link for the invite 352 00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:14,959 there's also a hilarious 353 00:13:19,670 --> 00:13:17,440 kirchheim uncle memes subreddit and by 354 00:13:21,590 --> 00:13:19,680 the way when i was speaking of criticism 355 00:13:23,190 --> 00:13:21,600 taking criticism seriously i also take 356 00:13:25,269 --> 00:13:23,200

00:13:42,160 would it be logical to investigate the 368 00:13:46,870 --> 00:13:44,800 pot the path that tells you that you 369 00:13:49,350 --> 00:13:46,880 believe you're god i don't know i don't 370 00:13:52,310 --> 00:13:49,360 know roy i just don't know 371 00:13:55,670 --> 00:13:52,320 okay carmeister kurt do you 372 00:13:58,230 --> 00:13:55,680 watch anime or read manga 373 00:14:00,150 -->

00:15:34,389 --> 00:15:33,040 changing direction 414 00:15:36,470 --> 00:15:34,399 i thought what he meant was this 415 00:15:38,310 --> 00:15:36,480 originally used to be better left unsaid 416 00:15:39,189 --> 00:15:38,320 this youtube channel used to be called 417 00:15:41,269 --> 00:15:39,199 that 418 00:15:42,710 --> 00:15:41,279 and then i changed it to the theories of 419 00:15:46,870 --> 00:15:42,720 everything channel 420 00:15:48,230 --> 00:15:46,880 so i asked john to follow up john says 421 00:15:50,310 --> 00:15:48,240 for example you changed direction and 422 00:15:52,230 --> 00:15:50,320 began talking about ufos 423 00:15:54,389 --> 00:15:52,240 after that sad party so i don't know 424 00:15:56,629 --> 00:15:54,399 what he means by sad party i also don't 425 00:15:59,189 --> 00:15:56,639 consider the ufo topic to be tangential 426 00:16:00,949 --> 00:15:59,199 to tolls i see it to be intimately tied 427 00:16:04,790 --> 00:16:00,959 okay crypto wants to know when is frank 428 00:16:06,310 --> 00:16:04,800 yang planning to appear 429 00:16:07,030 --> 00:16:06,320 2022 430 00:16:19,670 --> 00:16:07,040 i 431 00:16:21,189 --> 00:16:19,680 okay stuart scott wants to know 432 00:16:23,829 --> 00:16:21,199 hey kurt i've got a question for you how 433 00:16:25,910 --> 00:16:23,839 do you deal with your base growing 434 00:16:28,230 --> 00:16:25,920 and this growth inevitably including 435 00:16:30,150 --> 00:16:28,240 extremists and mentally ill people what 436 00:16:32,629 --> 00:16:30,160 one person thinks is extreme to one is 437 00:16:35,030 --> 00:16:32,639 normal to another that's seems obvious 438 00:16:38,310 --> 00:16:35,040 so it's difficult to define for example 439 00:16:41,829 --> 00:16:40,310 is not particularly liking the 440 00:16:44,310 --> 00:16:41,839 vaccination of the entire world 441 00:16:46,870 --> 00:16:44,320 simultaneously an extreme view 442 00:16:48,710 --> 00:16:46,880 is being pro-communism extreme well it 443 00:16:50,550 --> 00:16:48,720 depends on what one means by communism 444 00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:50,560 i'm sure i think people want to point 445 00:16:54,550 --> 00:16:52,320 the finger quickly 446 00:16:56,310 --> 00:16:54,560 and show that one side is fanatical for 447 00:16:57,829 --> 00:16:56,320 various unconscious reasons i have a 448 00:16:59,350 --> 00:16:57,839 whole documentary 449 00:17:01,430 --> 00:16:59,360 dedicated to the subject called better 450 00:17:03,990 --> 00:17:01,440 left unsaid it's no simple feat to 451 00:17:05,189 --> 00:17:04,000 define what's extreme i spent years 452 00:17:06,949 --> 00:17:05,199 thinking about it and i feel like i 453 00:17:08,870 --> 00:17:06,959 barely 454 00:17:10,309 --> 00:17:08,880 scratched the surface on that 455 00:17:12,390 --> 00:17:10,319 i also don't like to think of people as 456 00:17:14,470 --> 00:17:12,400 being curt fans i don't think they 457 00:17:16,309 --> 00:17:14,480 should i don't think they are i think 458 00:17:18,390 --> 00:17:16,319 that if they were true kurt fans quote 459 00:17:19,590 --> 00:17:18,400 unquote they wouldn't conceptualize 460 00:17:21,990 --> 00:17:19,600 themselves 461 00:17:24,150 --> 00:17:22,000 as such because i constantly talk about 462 00:17:26,309 --> 00:17:24,160 questioning which is the opposite of 463 00:17:28,710 --> 00:17:26,319 fandom following 464 00:17:31,270 --> 00:17:28,720 i also rarely make statements for 465 00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:31,280 someone to follow i mainly ask questions 466 00:17:36,549 --> 00:17:34,960 see i'm a fan of gpt-3 but gpt3 makes no 467 00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:36,559 statements so there's a difference 468 00:17:39,990 --> 00:17:38,080 between liking the quality of someone's 469 00:17:41,750 --> 00:17:40,000 work and liking them as a person or 470 00:17:44,470 --> 00:17:41,760 having an affinity for their views those 471 00:17:48,070 --> 00:17:46,150 carmeister says you always ask the 472 00:17:49,510 --> 00:17:48,080 audience to refer to dragon ball z 473 00:17:51,190 --> 00:17:49,520 characters in the chat who's your 474 00:17:56,630 --> 00:17:51,200 favorite dragon ball z character it 475 00:18:00,950 --> 00:17:59,350 i'm a miyazaki fan but i don't 476 00:18:03,510 --> 00:18:00,960 i don't think i'm a miyazaki fan because 477 00:18:04,870 --> 00:18:03,520 of the anime per se he just makes great 478 00:18:06,549 --> 00:18:04,880 movies 479 00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:06,559 i would like to visit japan in 480 00:18:10,549 --> 00:18:07,679 particular 481 00:18:11,750 --> 00:18:10,559 because there's a miyazaki museum there 482 00:18:13,590 --> 00:18:11,760 and they also have 483 00:18:16,070 --> 00:18:13,600 apparently wonderful toilets and i'm a 484 00:18:19,430 --> 00:18:16,080 huge germaphobe so part of the reason i 485 00:18:23,750 --> 00:18:21,350 i can't use toilets and 486 00:18:25,510 --> 00:18:23,760 i can't use other people's toilets 487 00:18:26,950 --> 00:18:25,520 oral decoy wants to know am i over doing 488 00:18:29,909 --> 00:18:26,960 the fasting i haven't fasted in quite 489 00:18:32,150 --> 00:18:29,919 some time weeks even i was having 490 00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:32,160 terrible terrible terrible sleep issues 491 00:18:36,230 --> 00:18:33,760 and so i had to stop the fasting because 492 00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:36,240 i wasn't interrupting my sleep that's a 493 00:18:38,950 --> 00:18:38,160 hilarious question the signal if you 494 00:18:41,830 --> 00:18:38,960 could 495 00:18:44,549 --> 00:18:41,840 fusion dance with any person in a dragon 496 00:18:46,150 --> 00:18:44,559 ball z man or who would it be 497 00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:46,160 i don't it would 498 00:18:50,710 --> 00:18:48,720 be my wife then or no one unless there's 499 00:18:52,789 --> 00:18:50,720 the novelty of doing it with someone 500 00:18:55,590 --> 00:18:52,799 temporarily if it's permanent i don't 501 00:18:56,630 --> 00:18:55,600 think i'd do it okay kurt i am mr nimbus 502 00:18:58,230 --> 00:18:56,640 what do you think is going on at 503 00:19:00,310 --> 00:18:58,240 skinwalker ranch and what experiment 504 00:19:01,270 --> 00:19:00,320 would you like to see do you hope aliens 505 00:19:02,630 --> 00:19:01,280 made us 506 00:19:03,590 --> 00:19:02,640 or not 507 00:19:06,070 --> 00:19:03,600 what is 508 00:19:08,390 --> 00:19:06,080 the thing or who is the one that 509 00:19:09,990 --> 00:19:08,400 convinced you aliens are real 510 00:19:11,830 --> 00:19:10,000 okay so firstly who the heck knows 511 00:19:13,830 --> 00:19:11,840 what's happening at skinwalker 512 00:19:15,830 --> 00:19:13,840 as for 513 00:19:17,669 --> 00:19:15,840 whether or not i hope i hope not that 514 00:19:19,029 --> 00:19:17,679 they made us but at the same time i 515 00:19:20,630 --> 00:19:19,039 think it's a sin to think that the 516 00:19:22,470 --> 00:19:20,640 universe isn't the way that it's 517 00:19:23,990 --> 00:19:22,480 supposed to be so 518 00:19:25,669 --> 00:19:24,000 whichever way it turns out to be i think 519 00:19:27,669 --> 00:19:25,679 i should be grateful for life third i 520 00:19:28,950 --> 00:19:27,679 never said aliens are real mr nimbus 521 00:19:31,029 --> 00:19:28,960 says by the way i would love to buy some 522 00:19:32,630 --> 00:19:31,039 cool alien merch 523 00:19:34,230 --> 00:19:32,640 just so you know this isn't a ufo 524 00:19:35,909 --> 00:19:34,240 channel despite the popularity of the 525 00:19:37,590 --> 00:19:35,919 ufo videos 526 00:19:39,990 --> 00:19:37,600 it's a theoretical physics consciousness 527 00:19:41,190 --> 00:19:40,000 free will and god channel and if ufos 528 00:19:44,549 --> 00:19:41,200 turn out to be 529 00:19:46,950 --> 00:19:44,559 let's say purely artificial intelligence 530 00:19:48,710 --> 00:19:46,960 then someone like lex will handle it for 531 00:19:50,549 --> 00:19:48,720 now i see it as a physics and 532 00:19:52,950 --> 00:19:50,559 potentially metaphysics related 533 00:19:56,230 --> 00:19:52,960 phenomenon hence my investigation of it 534 00:19:58,070 --> 00:19:56,240 it's also darn curious man 535 00:20:00,029 --> 00:19:58,080 as for the merch just so you know you 536 00:20:02,950 --> 00:20:00,039 can go to 537 00:20:05,669 --> 00:20:02,960 tinyurl.com tow merch i believe i'll 538 00:20:08,789 --> 00:20:05,679 type that in the chat and there's merch 539 00:20:11,909 --> 00:20:08,799 not ufo themed there's merch for the 540 00:20:13,750 --> 00:20:11,919 next few days it's ending october 31st 541 00:20:15,909 --> 00:20:13,760 john d again john d can you put a finger 542 00:20:18,470 --> 00:20:15,919 on how many times you felt your mind 543 00:20:20,390 --> 00:20:18,480 finally grasp a new concept 544 00:20:22,150 --> 00:20:20,400 or does that happen to you 545 00:20:23,909 --> 00:20:22,160 more on a daily basis it happens 546 00:20:25,510 --> 00:20:23,919 sometimes zero times per day sometimes 547 00:20:27,110 --> 00:20:25,520 multiple times per day 548 00:20:28,149 --> 00:20:27,120 i would say it's more accurate to think 549 00:20:30,789 --> 00:20:28,159 of 550 00:20:32,789 --> 00:20:30,799 my mind as recontextualizing thoughts 551 00:20:34,230 --> 00:20:32,799 and adding layers like 552 00:20:36,710 --> 00:20:34,240 those of you who know a little bit about 553 00:20:38,870 --> 00:20:36,720 computer graphics you start with some 554 00:20:40,470 --> 00:20:38,880 unspecified sphere and then you add some 555 00:20:43,430 --> 00:20:40,480 elements like a reflective map and a 556 00:20:45,350 --> 00:20:43,440 texture and an extrusion albedo asparty 557 00:20:46,710 --> 00:20:45,360 the shape of the surface its properties 558 00:20:48,549 --> 00:20:46,720 under destruction 559 00:20:51,029 --> 00:20:48,559 or collision and so on 560 00:20:52,710 --> 00:20:51,039 so for me it's as if each toe 561 00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:52,720 or concept is blank 562 00:20:56,870 --> 00:20:54,640 as a blank metal ball with disparity 563 00:20:58,630 --> 00:20:56,880 with roughness equals zero 564 00:21:00,470 --> 00:20:58,640 and then as days go by i add more and 565 00:21:03,350 --> 00:21:00,480 more layers to it until 566 00:21:05,270 --> 00:21:03,360 hopefully i can say the toe back to the 567 00:21:07,350 --> 00:21:05,280 originator of the toe in a manner that 568 00:21:09,110 --> 00:21:07,360 they would agree 569 00:21:10,230 --> 00:21:09,120 perhaps it'd be better if i can even add 570 00:21:12,549 --> 00:21:10,240 to it 571 00:21:14,710 --> 00:21:12,559 einstein alberto those toe socks seem 572 00:21:17,029 --> 00:21:14,720 pretty meta and i'm digging it okay well 573 00:21:20,390 --> 00:21:17,039 again if you'd like you can go to the 574 00:21:22,710 --> 00:21:20,400 merch link tinyurl.com 575 00:21:23,990 --> 00:21:22,720 tow merch those are available for the 576 00:21:27,430 --> 00:21:24,000 next few days 577 00:21:33,350 --> 00:21:27,440 frank boyle says congrats my friend on 578 00:21:36,310 --> 00:21:35,029 my favorite inter my question in my 579 00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:36,320 favorite interview which was rupert 580 00:21:40,549 --> 00:21:38,720 spyra 581 00:21:42,470 --> 00:21:40,559 i was intrigued by the depth of your 582 00:21:44,470 --> 00:21:42,480 honesty 583 00:21:46,470 --> 00:21:44,480 and could feel an almost existential 584 00:21:49,590 --> 00:21:46,480 level of anxiety when you discuss your 585 00:21:51,350 --> 00:21:49,600 darker thoughts and and fear 586 00:21:52,950 --> 00:21:51,360 and how you could act irrationally on 587 00:21:55,190 --> 00:21:52,960 impulse and so on 588 00:21:57,110 --> 00:21:55,200 there was a sense there was a sense that 589 00:22:00,070 --> 00:21:57,120 i was viewing carl jung's concept of the 590 00:22:02,230 --> 00:22:00,080 shadow being played out in real time 591 00:22:04,789 --> 00:22:02,240 well that's embarrassing 592 00:22:06,070 --> 00:22:04,799 so if the guy says i wonder if 593 00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:06,080 frankie says i wonder if you could 594 00:22:15,990 --> 00:22:13,510 on your personal beliefs 595 00:22:17,430 --> 00:22:16,000 for the raison d'etre by your guests in 596 00:22:19,190 --> 00:22:17,440 short 597 00:22:21,830 --> 00:22:19,200 what has impacted your way of thinking 598 00:22:24,230 --> 00:22:21,840 in a profound way 599 00:22:25,909 --> 00:22:24,240 i started this podcast i started taking 600 00:22:27,990 --> 00:22:25,919 this podcast seriously with donald 601 00:22:29,669 --> 00:22:28,000 hoffman 602 00:22:31,750 --> 00:22:29,679 in terms of delving into someone's 603 00:22:33,750 --> 00:22:31,760 papers deeply and then with thomas 604 00:22:36,390 --> 00:22:33,760 campbell i started taking it extremely 605 00:22:37,990 --> 00:22:36,400 seriously experientially like i tried 606 00:22:41,190 --> 00:22:38,000 transcendental meditation for a few 607 00:22:43,430 --> 00:22:41,200 weeks and i think perhaps even months 608 00:22:44,950 --> 00:22:43,440 taking toe seriously has impacted my 609 00:22:46,070 --> 00:22:44,960 thinking 610 00:22:48,149 --> 00:22:46,080 though i wouldn't 611 00:22:49,990 --> 00:22:48,159 rather than one tone in particular 612 00:22:52,070 --> 00:22:50,000 well i don't know maybe it would be ian 613 00:22:53,830 --> 00:22:52,080 mcgill chris bernardo castro 614 00:22:55,270 --> 00:22:53,840 or raymond smally and that's my favorite 615 00:22:58,070 --> 00:22:55,280 video on the whole channel it's 616 00:22:59,510 --> 00:22:58,080 underrated it has less than 10 000 views 617 00:23:01,750 --> 00:22:59,520 and it's my favorite video i think you 618 00:23:06,470 --> 00:23:01,760 should watch that the raymond smalian 619 00:23:12,230 --> 00:23:08,390 it's a mirthful dialogue between a 620 00:23:15,830 --> 00:23:12,240 mortal and god about free will 621 00:23:17,990 --> 00:23:15,840 and morality proceedloter asks congrats 622 00:23:20,549 --> 00:23:18,000 kurt my question is this what arguments 623 00:23:23,510 --> 00:23:20,559 and positions from the left do you find 624 00:23:26,630 --> 00:23:23,520 strongest and most convincing to you 625 00:23:28,630 --> 00:23:26,640 so i did a quick google search because 626 00:23:30,230 --> 00:23:28,640 it's not clear what makes the left left 627 00:23:32,310 --> 00:23:30,240 for example if you ask people on the 628 00:23:33,909 --> 00:23:32,320 left they'll say my site is good and i 629 00:23:35,590 --> 00:23:33,919 am pro freedom but people on the right 630 00:23:37,909 --> 00:23:35,600 would say the same 631 00:23:39,590 --> 00:23:37,919 as for left when i did a quick search i 632 00:23:41,430 --> 00:23:39,600 like the separation the separation of 633 00:23:42,870 --> 00:23:41,440 church and state 634 00:23:45,190 --> 00:23:42,880 i think that's a left-wing view though 635 00:23:47,110 --> 00:23:45,200 that's that's i'm sure debatable 636 00:23:48,830 --> 00:23:47,120 i like when there's investment into city 637 00:23:51,669 --> 00:23:48,840 parks and beautifying the city in 638 00:23:54,789 --> 00:23:51,679 general i like when there's a net to 639 00:23:58,270 --> 00:23:54,799 catch the indigent the destitute the 640 00:24:01,990 --> 00:24:00,310 jaywartman1984 says 641 00:24:05,990 --> 00:24:02,000 i just subscribed today because i 642 00:24:07,510 --> 00:24:06,000 thought i already was okay 643 00:24:13,029 --> 00:24:07,520 i couldn't find you in my list haha 644 00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:14,549 what do you think about travis walton's 645 00:24:22,470 --> 00:24:20,230 some of these questions are quite large 646 00:24:23,830 --> 00:24:22,480 and so i'm trying to parse them 647 00:24:26,149 --> 00:24:23,840 make them concise 648 00:24:28,230 --> 00:24:26,159 okay what what do you think a trained 649 00:24:29,990 --> 00:24:28,240 body language expert would say of lou 650 00:24:31,430 --> 00:24:30,000 wearing the hat that obstructs his face 651 00:24:33,830 --> 00:24:31,440 when answering questions what do you 652 00:24:36,950 --> 00:24:33,840 think about that i like blue but felt 653 00:24:39,350 --> 00:24:36,960 the hat was disingenuous even deceptive 654 00:24:44,630 --> 00:24:39,360 he was in counter intel after all and 655 00:24:48,950 --> 00:24:46,870 see for me i think if he was in 656 00:24:51,590 --> 00:24:48,960 counterintelligence he would not wear a 657 00:24:54,149 --> 00:24:51,600 hat precisely because one wants to give 658 00:24:55,430 --> 00:24:54,159 the impression that one is being open 659 00:24:57,830 --> 00:24:55,440 he would have been taught to speak with 660 00:24:59,909 --> 00:24:57,840 his palms out constantly 661 00:25:01,669 --> 00:24:59,919 and the fact that he's not suave to me 662 00:25:03,510 --> 00:25:01,679 is indicative of him not being 663 00:25:05,990 --> 00:25:03,520 instructed to act in a manner that's 664 00:25:07,669 --> 00:25:06,000 convincing and amiable the hat seems to 665 00:25:09,110 --> 00:25:07,679 me to be more of a comfort item like 666 00:25:11,110 --> 00:25:09,120 that he's dealing with a heavy load 667 00:25:14,390 --> 00:25:11,120 which is understandable i've spoken to 668 00:25:17,350 --> 00:25:14,400 people who have made a living 669 00:25:20,310 --> 00:25:17,360 having an extremely high eq if eq exists 670 00:25:22,390 --> 00:25:20,320 having an extremely high ability to read 671 00:25:24,149 --> 00:25:22,400 someone's body language and when i say 672 00:25:25,590 --> 00:25:24,159 that they make a living in it i mean 673 00:25:27,669 --> 00:25:25,600 that they're not simply body language 674 00:25:30,470 --> 00:25:27,679 experts or people who give seminars as 675 00:25:32,950 --> 00:25:30,480 such but people who make money 676 00:25:35,750 --> 00:25:32,960 analyzing other people and they've said 677 00:25:38,230 --> 00:25:35,760 they've expressed a similar sentiment 678 00:25:39,669 --> 00:25:38,240 with regard to lou 679 00:25:41,110 --> 00:25:39,679 namely that he's under stress and he 680 00:25:45,269 --> 00:25:41,120 isn't speaking with 681 00:25:48,870 --> 00:25:47,510 just a regular guy with an

craft could be 766 00:29:12,950 --> 00:29:11,120 though david fravor says extremely 767 00:29:15,430 --> 00:29:12,960 unlikely given that they appear on 768 00:29:18,070 --> 00:29:15,440 battlefields and if the u.s wants to win 769 00:29:20,389 --> 00:29:18,080 a war or have some military objective 770 00:29:22,630 --> 00:29:20,399 you wouldn't unduly scare the pilots 771 00:29:29,430 -->

00:29:35,279 beings may control people by terrorizing 775 00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:37,360 them in youth then providing meaningful 776 00:29:41,350 --> 00:29:39,120 help in adulthood trauma bonds that's 777 00:29:43,909 --> 00:29:41,360 extremely interesting so danger six if 778 00:29:45,750 --> 00:29:43,919 you have a link dm me at tow with kurt 779 00:29:47,110 --> 00:29:45,760 on twitter and i'll include that link in 780 00:29:49,830 --> 00:29:47,120 the description 781 00:29:52,310 --> 00:29:49,840 marinka s says dude just appreciate you 782 00:29:56,149 --> 00:29:52,320 man question is pretty much only one how 783 00:30:00,149 --> 00:29:58,310 firstly i don't manage it well and 784 00:30:02,310 --> 00:30:00,159 that's one of the reasons i'm taking 785 00:30:04,870 --> 00:30:02,320 november december and perhaps even 786 00:30:08,549 --> 00:30:04,880 january off as an extended respite to 787 00:30:10,470 --> 00:30:08,559 breathe with my wife and with my family 788 00:30:14,070 --> 00:30:10,480 austin harper 789 00:30:18,149 --> 00:30:15,830 my question for you kurt is future 790 00:30:20,549 --> 00:30:18,159 humans will be born in artificial wombs 791 00:30:22,789 --> 00:30:20,559 and gene edited to basically eradicate 792 00:30:25,110 --> 00:30:22,799 any chromosomal disease or genetic 793 00:30:28,870 --> 00:30:25,120 disease of any kind 794 00:30:31,350 --> 00:30:28,880 second if it's possible are my parents 795 00:30:32,630 --> 00:30:31,360 and other loved ones actually any 796 00:30:34,549 --> 00:30:32,640 different than a stranger on the road 797 00:30:35,669 --> 00:30:34,559 should i treat them as different or 798 00:30:37,190 --> 00:30:35,679 should i treat 799 00:30:39,750 --> 00:30:37,200 other strangers like my brother and 800 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,830 hmm okay 801 00:30:48,470 --> 00:30:45,430 so it seems like 802 00:30:49,190 --> 00:30:48,480 it will be the case in the near future 803 00:30:51,029 --> 00:30:49,200 that 804 00:30:54,070 --> 00:30:51,039 people will be 805 00:30:56,549 --> 00:30:54,080 devoid of genetic flaws quote unquote 806 00:30:58,389 --> 00:30:56,559 but i think in the long run it will be 807 00:31:00,549 --> 00:30:58,399 that 808 00:31:02,149 --> 00:31:00,559 we may allow 809 00:31:04,310 --> 00:31:02,159 what we currently consider to be quote 810 00:31:05,990 --> 00:31:04,320 unquote flaws to occur naturally because 811 00:31:07,750 --> 00:31:06,000 we have a better understanding firstly 812 00:31:08,950 --> 00:31:07,760 of what it means to be natural 813 00:31:12,070 --> 00:31:08,960 as well as 814 00:31:13,190 --> 00:31:12,080 we see that there's a reason for people 815 00:31:14,950 --> 00:31:13,200 to be 816 00:31:16,149 --> 00:31:14,960 the way they are and when they say a 817 00:31:18,789 --> 00:31:16,159 better understanding of what it means to 818 00:31:22,389 --> 00:31:18,799 be natural right now we say whatever we 819 00:31:25,430 --> 00:31:22,399 do is unnatural so is it well aren't we 820 00:31:27,909 --> 00:31:25,440 a product of nature so is g are gmos 821 00:31:29,990 --> 00:31:27,919 particularly unnatural is this condo 822 00:31:31,990 --> 00:31:30,000 unnatural is internet on that the 823 00:31:35,029 --> 00:31:32,000 internet unnatural i don't know it 824 00:31:36,950 --> 00:31:35,039 seemed well we're a part of nature 825 00:31:38,470 --> 00:31:36,960 but from other 826 00:31:40,310 --> 00:31:38,480 vantage points i see that it's 827 00:31:41,750 --> 00:31:40,320 considered to be unnatural all of that 828 00:31:43,509 --> 00:31:41,760 is to say that i imagine we'll have a 829 00:31:46,789 --> 00:31:43,519 more refined notion of what it means to 830 00:31:50,310 --> 00:31:48,789 as for should you treat 831 00:31:52,149 --> 00:31:50,320 the people you see on the street like 832 00:31:55,350 --> 00:31:52,159 your brother and your sister in terms of 833 00:31:56,950 --> 00:31:55,360 love i don't think it's possible 834 00:31:59,269 --> 00:31:56,960 but i also think that one should 835 00:32:00,470 --> 00:31:59,279 cultivate a stronger relationship with 836 00:32:02,389 --> 00:32:00,480 their family 837 00:32:04,789 --> 00:32:02,399 so that is raise the level of love with 838 00:32:07,190 --> 00:32:04,799 your family and raise the level of your 839 00:32:09,590 --> 00:32:07,200 love for your stranger such that today's 840 00:32:11,190 --> 00:32:09,600 average love for your family is six 841 00:32:12,789 --> 00:32:11,200 months from now's 842 00:32:14,070 --> 00:32:12,799 average love for the stranger and then 843 00:32:16,070 --> 00:32:14,080 by then your average love for your 844 00:32:18,549 --> 00:32:16,080 family has increased so you use that as 845 00:32:19,830 --> 00:32:18,559 a slingshot to also 846 00:32:21,669 --> 00:32:19,840 increase the average love you have for 847 00:32:23,350 --> 00:32:21,679 people in general 848 00:32:25,909 --> 00:32:23,360 michael frey have you seen any 849 00:32:27,430 --> 00:32:25,919 significant patterns 850 00:32:30,070 --> 00:32:27,440 in all the incoming information that 851 00:32:31,430 --> 00:32:30,080 points you to a particular direction now 852 00:32:32,870 --> 00:32:31,440 i'm not sure if that's with regard to 853 00:32:35,590 --> 00:32:32,880 the ufo 854 00:32:38,149 --> 00:32:35,600 issue or toes in general and i see 855 00:32:43,110 --> 00:32:38,159 similarities yes and i see differences 856 00:32:47,190 --> 00:32:45,990 the dark knight or the dark light 857 00:32:48,950 --> 00:32:47,200 there appears to be an instrument 858 00:32:50,149 --> 00:32:48,960 hanging in front hanging on the wall 859 00:32:51,830 --> 00:32:50,159 behind you 860 00:32:53,430 --> 00:32:51,840 do you play music or have any other 861 00:32:56,230 --> 00:32:53,440 creative outlets 862 00:32:57,669 --> 00:32:56,240 what music do you listen to i don't 863 00:33:00,149 --> 00:32:57,679 listen to music 864 00:33:02,070 --> 00:33:00,159 i find it extremely irritating i find 865 00:33:04,470 --> 00:33:02,080 most music extremely extremely 866 00:33:06,950 --> 00:33:04,480 irritating i used to play songs i used 867 00:33:10,549 --> 00:33:06,960 to play cover songs and minorly create 868 00:33:12,149 --> 00:33:10,559 my own but since i've moved in here i 869 00:33:14,070 --> 00:33:12,159 haven't played 870 00:33:16,549 --> 00:33:14,080 almost at all because i sing when i play 871 00:33:18,549 --> 00:33:16,559 and i sing so loud these walls are paper 872 00:33:20,230 --> 00:33:18,559 thin i can't can't practice i don't have 873 00:33:21,669 --> 00:33:20,240 the time anyway 874 00:33:35,990 --> 00:33:21,679 as for other creative outlets i can't 875 00:33:40,310 --> 00:33:37,590 i don't think so 876 00:33:41,909 --> 00:33:40,320 i put almost everything into 877 00:33:45,269 --> 00:33:41,919 studying toes 878 00:33:49,350 --> 00:33:46,950 c-ring wants to know are you continually 879 00:33:51,190 --> 00:33:49,360 studying the ctmu and how does it rank 880 00:33:54,310 --> 00:33:51,200 among the other towels you've looked 881 00:33:56,389 --> 00:33:54,320 into so i'm diminutively studying it and 882 00:33:59,190 --> 00:33:56,399 it's high up there in terms of the 883 00:34:00,870 --> 00:33:59,200 theories of everything i've studied 884 00:34:02,950 --> 00:34:00,880 philip oh and 885 00:34:05,190 --> 00:34:02,960 caveat i don't particularly like to rank 886 00:34:06,710 --> 00:34:05,200 them when i say hi up there 887 00:34:08,629 --> 00:34:06,720 i do have a 888 00:34:10,470 --> 00:34:08,639 a nesting though i wouldn't call that 889 00:34:12,710 --> 00:34:10,480 evaluation that's different 890 00:34:17,109 --> 00:34:12,720 philip oh 891 00:34:18,389 --> 00:34:17,119 on the spectrum from bach to castro 892 00:34:20,310 --> 00:34:18,399 where were you before starting this 893 00:34:22,149 --> 00:34:20,320 podcast and where are you now i would 894 00:34:24,149 --> 00:34:22,159 say i was full-on bach in the 895 00:34:29,030 --> 00:34:24,159 materialist sense and now torn in the 896 00:34:32,710 --> 00:34:31,270 sullen piffin or sullen puffin that's a 897 00:34:35,190 --> 00:34:32,720 hilarious name 898 00:34:36,149 --> 00:34:35,200 the sullen puffin asks how quickly can 899 00:34:38,230 --> 00:34:36,159 you get 900 00:34:45,510 --> 00:34:38,240 caster up and bach head to head 901 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:50,790 castro would but bach is not interested 902 00:34:55,270 --> 00:34:52,310 okay henrik 903 00:34:57,589 --> 00:34:55,280 lance headstrong has a question about 904 00:34:58,630 --> 00:34:57,599 it's a quite a long question 905 00:35:00,230 --> 00:34:58,640 and they 906 00:35:02,710 --> 00:35:00,240 he essentially wants to know about time 907 00:35:04,710 --> 00:35:02,720 travel so for me time travel is filled 908 00:35:07,030 --> 00:35:04,720 with so many paradoxes that i don't know 909 00:35:08,470 --> 00:35:07,040 how to conceive of it but just because i 910 00:35:10,150 --> 00:35:08,480 can't conceive of it doesn't mean that 911 00:35:12,310 --> 00:35:10,160 it's not describing some situation 912 00:35:15,109 --> 00:35:12,320 that's true in some non-trivial sense i 913 00:35:16,790 --> 00:35:15,119 just don't know how to make sense of it 914 00:35:19,270 --> 00:35:16,800 you can understand this like carlo 915 00:35:21,270 --> 00:35:19,280 ravalli has a great 916 00:35:22,550 --> 00:35:21,280 example of this if you read some ancient 917 00:35:23,990 --> 00:35:22,560 texts 918 00:35:25,430 --> 00:35:24,000 i'll get into that in the carlo ravelli 919 00:35:27,670 --> 00:35:25,440 podcast so i'm not going to speak about 920 00:35:29,270 --> 00:35:27,680 that now 921 00:35:30,950 --> 00:35:29,280 imagine yellow suns wants to know would 922 00:35:32,950 --> 00:35:30,960 you would you consider the topic of 923 00:35:35,430 --> 00:35:32,960 near-death experiences for your 924 00:35:38,470 --> 00:35:35,440 investigations and interviews yes and i 925 00:35:41,109 --> 00:35:38,480 have dean raiden confirmed though not 926 00:35:43,430 --> 00:35:41,119 booked for 2022. 927 00:35:44,630 --> 00:35:43,440 i have many guests confirmed when i say 928 00:35:46,950 --> 00:35:44,640 confirmed i mean they've said yes and 929 00:35:49,670 --> 00:35:46,960 i've said yes but as for getting the 930 00:35:52,550 --> 00:35:49,680 actual date down 931 00:35:55,190 --> 00:35:52,560 that's an arduous task lord tyranus did 932 00:36:00,150 --> 00:35:55,200 i find chris langan to be intimidating 933 00:36:03,829 --> 00:36:01,829 okay i'm scrolling through now so give 934 00:36:08,790 --> 00:36:03,839 me some time as i go through the live 935 00:36:13,510 --> 00:36:11,670 diva malwat says great job on the last 936 00:36:15,430 --> 00:36:13,520 couple interviews kurt just watched the 937 00:36:20,630 --> 00:36:15,440 one with travis i wish you had gone into 938 00:36:24,550 --> 00:36:22,550 when i went into details with travis 939 00:36:26,790 --> 00:36:24,560 people took that as a sign of me 940 00:36:28,390 --> 00:36:26,800 interrogating him and they thought that 941 00:36:30,310 --> 00:36:28,400 i was being 942 00:36:37,430 --> 00:36:30,320 well 943 00:36:39,589 --> 00:36:37,440 something that occurred directly before 944 00:36:41,190 --> 00:36:39,599 the travis interview 945 00:36:44,069 --> 00:36:41,200 i was irritated during it that was the 946 00:36:47,670 --> 00:36:44,079 only interview that i was irritated 947 00:36:50,150 --> 00:36:47,680 just prior to conducting 948 00:36:54,550 --> 00:36:50,160 for a couple of reasons 949 00:36:57,589 --> 00:36:55,829 i i think it would sound like i'm 950 00:36:59,510 --> 00:36:57,599 bashing travis has nothing to do with 951 00:37:00,230 --> 00:36:59,520 travis's experience and more has to do 952 00:37:03,349 --> 00:37:00,240 with 953 00:37:05,109 --> 00:37:03,359 him as a person but not his experiences 954 00:37:07,349 --> 00:37:05,119 as for his experiences i don't treat 955 00:37:08,710 --> 00:37:07,359 people skeptically on this channel i 956 00:37:09,910 --> 00:37:08,720 treat people as if what they're saying 957 00:37:11,510 --> 00:37:09,920 is true and i'm curious what the 958 00:37:13,670 --> 00:37:11,520 consequences are 959 00:37:14,630 --> 00:37:13,680 and am i understanding it correctly it's 960 00:37:15,910 --> 00:37:14,640 pretty much just that what are the 961 00:37:17,910 --> 00:37:15,920 consequences am i understanding it 962 00:37:19,270 --> 00:37:17,920 correctly can i add to it does it 963 00:37:20,710 --> 00:37:19,280 contradict anything that i currently 964 00:37:22,310 --> 00:37:20,720 know 965 00:37:24,150 --> 00:37:22,320 office hours i've said this many times i 966 00:37:25,990 --> 00:37:24,160 treat it like i have a professor 967 00:37:26,950 --> 00:37:26,000 and i'm 968 00:37:28,390 --> 00:37:26,960 blessed 969 00:37:30,550 --> 00:37:28,400 enough to have office hours with this 970 00:37:32,390 --> 00:37:30,560 person so i don't go into a professor's 971 00:37:33,990 --> 00:37:32,400 office hours being skeptical of the 972 00:37:36,310 --> 00:37:34,000 person i treat them as if they're 973 00:37:39,109 --> 00:37:36,320 superior to me at least in some ways 974 00:37:40,470 --> 00:37:39,119 daniel jake jacobian says thank you for 975 00:37:43,109 --> 00:37:40,480 the journey you've

00:37:59,430 robin robinson thoughts on einstein's 979 00:38:03,829 --> 00:38:01,839 theory of non-empty space and gravity as 980 00:38:05,349 --> 00:38:03,839 a pressure force caused by displacement 981 00:38:06,470 --> 00:38:05,359 of dark matter i don't think einstein 982 00:38:08,390 --> 00:38:06,480 had a 983 00:38:09,750 --> 00:38:08,400 theory of dark matter i don't think it 984 00:38:13,589 --> 00:38:09,760 was discovered 985 00:38:15,190 --> 00:38:13,599 any time around when einstein was alive 986 00:38:18,069 --> 00:38:15,200 and i don't know of his theory of 987 00:38:20,710 --> 00:38:18,079 non-empty space 988 00:38:23,750 --> 00:38:20,720 if you mean dark energy that's different 989 00:38:25,349 --> 00:38:23,760 okay brandon carroll says have you or 990 00:38:27,270 --> 00:38:25,359 christopher langan considered a stream 991 00:38:29,510 --> 00:38:27,280 with gene francois 992 00:38:31,030 --> 00:38:29,520 garappy now i don't know what 993

996 00:38:39,349 --> 00:38:36,960 i don't know who gene is there are 997 00:38:40,630 --> 00:38:39,359 plenty of times when people will message 998 00:38:42,710 --> 00:38:40,640 in the comments and say you should check 999 00:38:44,710 --> 00:38:42,720 out so-and-so person my process is i 1000 00:38:48,630 --> 00:38:44,720 mentally note them first and then once i 1001 00:38:51,030 --> 00:38:48,640 see enough of them then i start to 1002 00:38:52,230 --> 00:38:51,040 physically note them and then i 1003 00:38:53,829 --> 00:38:52,240 contact them 1004 00:38:54,950 --> 00:38:53,839 and then well i research them and then i 1005 00:38:57,430 --> 00:38:54,960 contact them 1006 00:38:59,430 --> 00:38:57,440 abedi debato wants to know how did you 1007 00:39:00,950 --> 00:38:59,440 quit your mathematical career well 1008 00:39:02,390 --> 00:39:00,960 firstly i never had a mathematical 1009 00:39:03,750 --> 00:39:02,400 career 1010 00:39:22,630 --> 00:39:03,760 i 1011 00:39:25,270 --> 00:39:22,640 remember 1012 00:39:26,630 --> 00:39:25,280 mean 1013 00:39:28,710 --> 00:39:26,640 since i was a kid 1014 00:39:30,950 --> 00:39:28,720 since i first thought about well how did 1015 00:39:34,150 --> 00:39:30,960 the universe come to be and learned of 1016 00:39:36,230 --> 00:39:34,160 the concept of quantum fluctuations 1017 00:39:38,310 --> 00:39:36,240 pseudohuman says what toe of all the 1018 00:39:40,150 --> 00:39:38,320 guests do you resonate with most i think 1019 00:39:42,310 --> 00:39:40,160 is most valid i would say chomsky and 1020 00:39:43,510 --> 00:39:42,320 i'll leave that as a 1021 00:39:46,790 --> 00:39:43,520 i'll leave that for you to interpret 1022 00:39:49,109 --> 00:39:46,800 what that means from start to free gary 1023 00:39:50,950 --> 00:39:49,119 sigmund asks 1024 00:39:53,829 --> 00:39:50,960 kurt you should try to get naseem 1025 00:39:55,270 --> 00:39:53,839 haramin on for an interview 1026 00:39:57,510 --> 00:39:55,280 okay by the way 1027 00:39:59,109 --> 00:39:57,520 people who ask to be interviewed is 1028 00:40:01,109 --> 00:39:59,119 generally not a great sign that you have 1029 00:40:03,829 --> 00:40:01,119 to be asked for example if someone says 1030 00:40:06,790 --> 00:40:03,839 i can disprove leo what glio guru is 1031 00:40:09,270 --> 00:40:06,800 saying and thus i should be interviewed 1032 00:40:10,790 --> 00:40:09,280 that's not enough for me to interview 1033 00:40:11,990 --> 00:40:10,800 you just because you have a critique of 1034 00:40:14,150 --> 00:40:12,000 someone 1035 00:40:15,990 --> 00:40:14,160 i'm interested in constructions and 1036 00:40:18,550 --> 00:40:16,000 entire world views that are different 1037 00:40:20,550 --> 00:40:18,560 well i use instinct and intuition to 1038 00:40:21,990 --> 00:40:20,560 guide me 1039 00:40:24,630 --> 00:40:22,000 it's just it's not enough for someone to 1040 00:40:27,270 --> 00:40:24,640 say you should interview me and people 1041 00:40:29,109 --> 00:40:27,280 get extremely offended extremely 1042 00:40:30,550 --> 00:40:29,119 offended when i don't have the time to 1043 00:40:32,390 --> 00:40:30,560 look into their theories or have them on 1044 00:40:34,870 --> 00:40:32,400 the channel and part of the reason is i 1045 00:40:36,829 --> 00:40:34,880 take each theory of everything extremely 1046 00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:36,839 seriously 1047 00:40:44,470 --> 00:40:42,240 don't have time 1048 00:40:46,710 --> 00:40:44,480 and every single almost each person will 1049 00:40:48,630 --> 00:40:46,720 say my theory of everything is the 1050 00:40:50,710 --> 00:40:48,640 theory of everything to end all theories 1051 00:40:51,990 --> 00:40:50,720 of everything okay how do i adjudicate 1052 00:40:53,829 --> 00:40:52,000 between the different people putting 1053 00:40:55,670 --> 00:40:53,839 their hands up that say the same 1054 00:40:56,390 --> 00:40:55,680 sentiment 1055 00:40:58,150 --> 00:40:56,400 g 1056 00:40:59,670 --> 00:40:58,160 bernal wants to know 1057 00:41:02,470 --> 00:40:59,680 apparently we had an email exchange 1058 00:41:04,710 --> 00:41:02,480 exchange and this person wants to know 1059 00:41:06,069 --> 00:41:04,720 what do i think of the ufo topic 1060 00:41:07,589 --> 00:41:06,079 essentially it's a long question but 1061 00:41:09,670 --> 00:41:07,599 essentially what do i think of it and 1062 00:41:11,030 --> 00:41:09,680 it's unfair to ask me that 1063 00:41:12,790 --> 00:41:11,040 because i didn't know how vast this 1064 00:41:14,150 --> 00:41:12,800 topic would be when i 1065 00:41:16,150 --> 00:41:14,160 entered it think of it like i thought it 1066 00:41:18,710 --> 00:41:16,160 was one painting and it turns out that 1067 00:41:20,309 --> 00:41:18,720 it's an art gallery and now i've been 1068 00:41:21,829 --> 00:41:20,319 zoomed along in the louvre and you're 1069 00:41:24,550 --> 00:41:21,839 asking me what do you think of the 1070 00:41:29,829 --> 00:41:24,560 louvre well i see patterns that's all i 1071 00:41:34,470 --> 00:41:33,349 john d again john d many questions 1072 00:41:37,030 --> 00:41:34,480 when you do 1073 00:41:38,309 --> 00:41:37,040 need to increase your staff 1074 00:41:39,990 --> 00:41:38,319 i do already 1075 00:41:41,990 --> 00:41:40,000 i would like to get someone to do video 1076 00:41:43,990 --> 00:41:42,000 editing for example or the toe clippings 1077 00:41:45,910 --> 00:41:44,000 channel when you do increase your staff 1078 00:41:47,270 --> 00:41:45,920 will you advertise toe jobs now this is 1079 00:41:49,589 --> 00:41:47,280 hilarious 1080 00:41:52,630 --> 00:41:49,599 i may i don't i'm not sure 1081 00:41:54,790 --> 00:41:52,640 prathema nagendra wants to know what a 1082 00:41:58,150 --> 00:41:54,800 guy what a channel more power to you you 1083 00:41:59,670 --> 00:41:58,160 haven't invited any hardcore biologists 1084 00:42:00,950 --> 00:41:59,680 and i'm going to put slash materialist 1085 00:42:04,069 --> 00:42:00,960 because many people have said that on 1086 00:42:07,750 --> 00:42:06,150 that's not true that's not true people 1087 00:42:09,030 --> 00:42:07,760 say that that's 1088 00:42:10,550 --> 00:42:09,040 there's bach first of all there's 1089 00:42:12,309 --> 00:42:10,560 rebecca goldstein 1090 00:42:14,710 --> 00:42:12,319 stephen wolfram robert kuhn though he 1091 00:42:17,430 --> 00:42:14,720 wouldn't admit that he's a materialist 1092 00:42:19,510 --> 00:42:17,440 richard borchards methuna david sloane 1093 00:42:21,510 --> 00:42:19,520 wilson anil seth 1094 00:42:22,950 --> 00:42:21,520 sabine haasenfelder stephen pinker 1095 00:42:24,790 --> 00:42:22,960 nathan mervold 1096 00:42:26,710 --> 00:42:24,800 avi loeb i believe is a materialist 1097 00:42:30,230 --> 00:42:26,720 kevin knuth i'm not sure but maybe 1098 00:42:32,309 --> 00:42:30,240 michael evan maybe chomsky somewhat carl 1099 00:42:35,750 --> 00:42:32,319 frisbin somewhat drawer barnette 1100 00:42:40,309 --> 00:42:35,760 definitely most not most many people 1101 00:42:44,630 --> 00:42:43,190 biological basis for consciousness 1102 00:42:45,510 --> 00:42:44,640 then they'll say 1103 00:42:47,510 --> 00:42:45,520 they'll 1104 00:42:48,870 --> 00:42:47,520 well 1105 00:42:50,710 --> 00:42:48,880 i'll leave it at that 1106 00:42:53,030 --> 00:42:50,720 mel taylor 1107 00:42:56,550 --> 00:42:53,040 my son is studying physics math and 1108 00:43:00,790 --> 00:42:58,710 would you recommend physics as a degree 1109 00:43:02,870 --> 00:43:00,800 no unless you want your 1110 00:43:04,950 --> 00:43:02,880 your son to live with you until you're 1111 00:43:09,270 --> 00:43:04,960 until they're 40. i would recommend 1112 00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:10,230 what are the most interesting 1113 00:43:14,309 --> 00:43:11,920 fascinating ideas to you right now in 1114 00:43:17,270 --> 00:43:14,319 relation to your channel of course 1115 00:43:19,190 --> 00:43:17,280 not free will not toe not god but some 1116 00:43:21,190 --> 00:43:19,200 new idea that you've read about heard 1117 00:43:22,309 --> 00:43:21,200 from your guests something from physics 1118 00:43:23,829 --> 00:43:22,319 perhaps 1119 00:43:25,589 --> 00:43:23,839 maybe something about ufos maybe 1120 00:43:26,870 --> 00:43:25,599 something political that got you really 1121 00:43:30,230 --> 00:43:26,880 thinking 1122 00:43:32,710 --> 00:43:30,240 what are you hyped about right now 1123 00:43:34,150 --> 00:43:32,720 um what am i hyped what am i hyped about 1124 00:43:47,910 --> 00:43:34,160 hyped about 1125 00:43:52,309 --> 00:43:50,069 the lowenheim skolem theorem 1126 00:43:54,390 --> 00:43:52,319 and the nature of infinity 1127 00:43:55,910 --> 00:43:54,400 when i was talking to leo gura 1128 00:44:00,710 --> 00:43:55,920 he 1129 00:44:03,589 --> 00:44:00,720 infinity of all infinities is reality no 1130 00:44:05,270 --> 00:44:03,599 that's not look kantor even thought that 1131 00:44:07,349 --> 00:44:05,280 but even but leo would say that's a 1132 00:44:09,589 --> 00:44:07,359 model of infinity and so on however when 1133 00:44:11,670 --> 00:44:09,599 leo was delineating what he believes 1134 00:44:13,270 --> 00:44:11,680 infinity to be imagine a movie and now 1135 00:44:14,950 --> 00:44:13,280 imagine a cup now imagine a movie about 1136 00:44:16,390 --> 00:44:14,960 a cup now imagine a movie about a cop 1137 00:44:18,150 --> 00:44:16,400 making a movie about a cup and so on and 1138 00:44:20,630 --> 00:44:18,160 so on and so on i don't think he 1139 00:44:23,030 --> 00:44:20,640 realizes how 1140 00:44:25,030 --> 00:44:23,040 embedded in aleph zero that is 1141 00:44:26,309 --> 00:44:25,040 what i mean is that's all still alice 1142 00:44:28,150 --> 00:44:26,319 zero that's all still the natural 1143 00:44:31,030 --> 00:44:28,160 numbers he thinks 1144 00:44:32,870 --> 00:44:31,040 what he was outlining was aleph one or 1145 00:44:34,950 --> 00:44:32,880 lf2 there are different levels of 1146 00:44:37,430 --> 00:44:34,960 infinity but those are all if you can 1147 00:44:42,630 --> 00:44:37,440 point to it it's part of the natural 1148 00:44:51,589 --> 00:44:44,630 the natural numbers are a huge huge huge 1149 00:44:56,309 --> 00:44:54,390 gerald pavlovich says you often expect 1150 00:44:57,750 --> 00:44:56,319 or say that you expect the next paradigm 1151 00:44:59,109 --> 00:44:57,760 shift to come from the fringe and i'm 1152 00:45:01,670 --> 00:44:59,119 wondering could you elaborate on your 1153 00:45:03,670 --> 00:45:01,680 definition of fringe and why you believe 1154 00:45:06,870 --> 00:45:03,680 this spirituality physics of 1155 00:45:09,589 --> 00:45:06,880 consciousness merger will or must 1156 00:45:12,710 --> 00:45:09,599 which i yes will or must 1157 00:45:15,910 --> 00:45:14,550 and what 1158 00:45:16,829 --> 00:45:15,920 are those groups you consider to be 1159 00:45:19,190 --> 00:45:16,839 fringe 1160 00:45:21,190 --> 00:45:19,200 hmm so firstly einstein worked in the 1161 00:45:23,030 --> 00:45:21,200 patent office keep that in mind that's 1162 00:45:25,829 --> 00:45:23,040 fringe in some respects 1163 00:45:27,190 --> 00:45:25,839 but i'm sure that's not what you mean 1164 00:45:28,230 --> 00:45:27,200 nor what i mean 1165 00:45:31,030 --> 00:45:28,240 i mean 1166 00:45:34,230 --> 00:45:31,040 mainly that the fringe will be 1167 00:45:36,230 --> 00:45:34,240 that i i do think it will be someone or 1168 00:45:38,309 --> 00:45:36,240 some people from the center let's say 1169 00:45:41,109 --> 00:45:38,319 not fringe that 1170 00:45:42,309 --> 00:45:41,119 take that torch past the goal post i 1171 00:45:43,670 --> 00:45:42,319 think they'll be 1172 00:45:45,430 --> 00:45:43,680 heavily 1173 00:45:47,829 --> 00:45:45,440 informed 1174 00:45:49,829 --> 00:45:47,839 and advised and apprised by the fringe 1175 00:45:52,309 --> 00:45:49,839 but the reason i say it will come from 1176 00:45:54,470 --> 00:45:52,319 the center too is because the fringe 1177 00:45:55,670 --> 00:45:54,480 doesn't necessarily have the technical 1178 00:45:58,870 --> 00:45:55,680 know-how 1179 00:46:00,550 --> 00:45:58,880 of how to make their statements precise 1180 00:46:01,990 --> 00:46:00,560 or how it comports and doesn't comport 1181 00:46:02,950 --> 00:46:02,000 with other 1182 00:46:06,390 --> 00:46:02,960 theories 1183 00:46:08,069 --> 00:46:06,400 for example most of the time when 1184 00:46:10,230 --> 00:46:08,079 almost any time when someone mentions 1185 00:46:11,190 --> 00:46:10,240 quantum physics it's an indication to me 1186 00:46:12,630 --> 00:46:11,200 they don't know what they're talking 1187 00:46:13,910 --> 00:46:12,640 they don't they generally don't know 1188 00:46:15,670 --> 00:46:13,920 what they're talking about and you'll 1189 00:46:17,270 --> 00:46:15,680 see this even brian keating said this 1190 00:46:19,589 --> 00:46:17,280 people will email him say einstein was 1191 00:46:21,109 --> 00:46:19,599 wrong it's rarely boltzmann was wrong 1192 00:46:23,270 --> 00:46:21,119 and the reason is that 1193 00:46:25,430 --> 00:46:23,280 people read what they read in popular 1194 00:46:26,950 --> 00:46:25,440 science now there's an advantage to that 1195 00:46:28,710 --> 00:46:26,960 well the disadvantage what i think i 1196 00:46:31,750 --> 00:46:28,720 think people should stop trying to sound 1197 00:46:35,910 --> 00:46:31,760 astute and tutored and just be 1198 00:46:38,069 --> 00:46:35,920 and that one's gift may be that they're 1199 00:46:39,510 --> 00:46:38,079 that they're not particularly astute in 1200 00:46:42,069 --> 00:46:39,520 those domains and because of that 1201 00:46:44,309 --> 00:46:42,079 they're able to make these wide reaching 1202 00:46:47,030 --> 00:46:44,319 jumps that someone who is not untutored 1203 00:46:48,390 --> 00:46:47,040 they could never make those jumps 1204 00:46:50,550 --> 00:46:48,400 for example for me when it comes to 1205 00:46:52,950 --> 00:46:50,560 filmmaking i'm so engrossed in 1206 00:46:55,430 --> 00:46:52,960 filmmaking or i was that a new filmmaker 1207 00:46:57,109 --> 00:46:55,440 can innovate far more than i can because 1208 00:46:59,030 --> 00:46:57,119 certain shots wouldn't occur to me 1209 00:47:01,349 --> 00:46:59,040 certain editing techniques i would 1210 00:47:03,510 --> 00:47:01,359 dismiss unconsciously before it's even 1211 00:47:05,990 --> 00:47:03,520 reached my conscious mind as being 1212 00:47:09,589 --> 00:47:06,000 something that wouldn't work 1213 00:47:11,589 --> 00:47:09,599 that's an example so it's okay to not be 1214 00:47:13,109 --> 00:47:11,599 particularly precise that's why i say 1215 00:47:14,230 --> 00:47:13,119 that the fringe will inform the center 1216 00:47:16,470 --> 00:47:14,240 and the center will be the one that 1217 00:47:18,230 --> 00:47:16,480 takes it past the goal 1218 00:47:20,309 --> 00:47:18,240 but the center won't be able to do so 1219 00:47:21,750 --> 00:47:20,319 without the fringe so they both need one 1220 00:47:23,670 --> 00:47:21,760 another 1221 00:47:27,510 --> 00:47:23,680 and they both should stop deriding one 1222 00:47:31,670 --> 00:47:29,510 so someone james don't this is hilarious 1223 00:47:33,109 --> 00:47:31,680 it says sir roger penrose was on the joe 1224 00:47:35,030 --> 00:47:33,119 rogan podcast talking about the 1225 00:47:37,270 --> 00:47:35,040 emperor's new clothes i think he means 1226 00:47:39,829 --> 00:47:37,280 new mind after a retired 1227 00:47:41,510 --> 00:47:39,839 anesthesiologist contacted him to tell 1228 00:47:43,190 --> 00:47:41,520 him about microtubules and so on do you 1229 00:47:44,950 --> 00:47:43,200 think that you can talk about this on 1230 00:47:46,710 --> 00:47:44,960 your podcast 1231 00:47:49,430 --> 00:47:46,720 microtubules and such have you heard of 1232 00:47:50,950 --> 00:47:49,440 it okay so this happens so frequently 1233 00:47:52,309 --> 00:47:50,960 that someone will say have you heard of 1234 00:47:53,910 --> 00:47:52,319 this someone said have you heard of 1235 00:47:55,910 --> 00:47:53,920 thomas campbell you should speak with 1236 00:47:57,430 --> 00:47:55,920 him man i have two podcasts with thomas 1237 00:48:00,230 --> 00:47:57,440 campbell 1238 00:48:01,910 --> 00:48:00,240 so i don't know what to do with that 1239 00:48:04,230 --> 00:48:01,920 i'm i can't expect everyone to just 1240 00:48:06,150 --> 00:48:04,240 search the catalog of toe before asking 1241 00:48:07,990 --> 00:48:06,160 a question it's just funny to me because 1242 00:48:10,309 --> 00:48:08,000 then i have to find the url and have 1243 00:48:13,109 --> 00:48:10,319 some hotkeys for the most popular videos 1244 00:48:15,270 --> 00:48:13,119 and i just send that to them 1245 00:48:17,829 --> 00:48:15,280 i think it'd be snarky if i said 1246 00:48:19,589 --> 00:48:17,839 google is your friend search 1247 00:48:21,990 --> 00:48:19,599 danger six you said that you can't tell 1248 00:48:27,109 --> 00:48:22,000 me or tell people publicly well then dm 1249 00:48:30,710 --> 00:48:28,790 ian from scotland says am i familiar 1250 00:48:33,510 --> 00:48:30,720 with phil snyder 1251 00:48:37,030 --> 00:48:35,190 samwell wants to know what are my views 1252 00:48:38,309 --> 00:48:37,040 on remote viewing i don't have many 1253 00:48:41,349 --> 00:48:38,319 views on remote viewing i think it's 1254 00:48:43,190 --> 00:48:41,359 possible i don't see why not 1255 00:48:45,430 --> 00:48:43,200 i i there's so much that 1256 00:48:47,430 --> 00:48:45,440 is traditionally thought of as 1257 00:48:49,589 --> 00:48:47,440 obviously in sensate that i don't see as 1258 00:48:51,990 --> 00:48:49,599 obviously in sense8 1259 00:48:53,349 --> 00:48:52,000 lucid dreaming well lucid dreaming is 1260 00:48:55,270 --> 00:48:53,359 great i 1261 00:48:56,549 --> 00:48:55,280 i happen to be lucky enough that i can 1262 00:48:58,390 --> 00:48:56,559 lose a dream 1263 00:49:00,150 --> 00:48:58,400 alter states of consciousness through 1264 00:49:02,549 --> 00:49:00,160 meditation or psychedelics well what are 1265 00:49:03,589 --> 00:49:02,559 my thoughts in them i don't i don't 1266 00:49:05,270 --> 00:49:03,599 one of my 1267 00:49:07,349 --> 00:49:05,280 they're powerful states that can 1268 00:49:10,630 --> 00:49:07,359 radically change your world view that's 1269 00:49:13,829 --> 00:49:12,150 someone wants to know can i get bob 1270 00:49:15,030 --> 00:49:13,839 lazar on the show i'm trying to get bob 1271 00:49:16,390 --> 00:49:15,040 lazar on the show it's not going to 1272 00:49:18,790 --> 00:49:16,400 happen it's seeming like it's not going 1273 00:49:21,190 --> 00:49:18,800 to happen someone wants to know is clee 1274 00:49:23,109 --> 00:49:21,200 irwin of quantum gravity research fringe 1275 00:49:25,829 --> 00:49:23,119 david wants to know that 1276 00:49:27,589 --> 00:49:25,839 to some people he is 1277 00:49:29,109 --> 00:49:27,599 i haven't researched him enough to make 1278 00:49:30,710 --> 00:49:29,119 a decision he seems extremely 1279 00:49:33,589 --> 00:49:30,720 mathematically sophisticated so i 1280 00:49:36,230 --> 00:49:33,599 wouldn't consider him to be as such alex 1281 00:49:37,750 --> 00:49:36,240 nadel q asks i'm interested in some of 1282 00:49:38,630 --> 00:49:37,760 the books you found useful in developing 1283 00:49:40,790 --> 00:49:38,640 your 1284 00:49:42,309 --> 00:49:40,800 interviewing skills did you develop on 1285 00:49:44,710 --> 00:49:42,319 the job or do you have some 1286 00:49:46,710 --> 00:49:44,720 recommendations i don't i i don't see 1287 00:49:48,870 --> 00:49:46,720 myself as having interview skills when 1288 00:49:50,150 --> 00:49:48,880 people say i have an interview style 1289 00:49:52,549 --> 00:49:50,160 i'm 1290 00:49:54,710 --> 00:49:52,559 non-plussed i don't know what to make of 1291 00:49:56,630 --> 00:49:54,720 that because i just see myself as asking 1292 00:49:58,470 --> 00:49:56,640 questions i just see myself as again 1293 00:50:00,230 --> 00:49:58,480 treating someone as if they're a 1294 00:50:02,549 --> 00:50:00,240 professor during office hours it's as 1295 00:50:04,710 --> 00:50:02,559 simple as that and that's pretty much it 1296 00:50:08,390 --> 00:50:04,720 i don't know about interview skills per 1297 00:50:13,190 --> 00:50:10,950 mds wants to know have you asked 1298 00:50:15,270 --> 00:50:13,200 if these ufo crafts are living organisms 1299 00:50:19,270 --> 00:50:15,280 i think i have i don't know 1300 00:50:20,309 --> 00:50:19,280 roman stepping off wants to know what 1301 00:50:22,630 --> 00:50:20,319 would you want to happen to your 1302 00:50:24,390 --> 00:50:22,640 consciousness after death well 1303 00:50:27,030 --> 00:50:24,400 it depends on what 1304 00:50:29,270 --> 00:50:27,040 what death is so if death is the ceasing 1305 00:50:30,790 --> 00:50:29,280 of consciousness then that question as 1306 00:50:32,710 --> 00:50:30,800 it stands makes little sense or is 1307 00:50:40,470 --> 00:50:32,720 contradictory which doesn't mean it's 1308 00:50:46,470 --> 00:50:41,990 i think it would be great if we lived 1309 00:50:50,950 --> 00:50:48,950 i think i think that's pretty clear 1310 00:50:52,549 --> 00:50:50,960 okay someone said what happened so sadia 1311 00:50:54,470 --> 00:50:52,559 adani said what happened to the last 1312 00:50:57,109 --> 00:50:54,480 video with luis elisando we saw it live 1313 00:50:59,510 --> 00:50:57,119 and then it became private okay so 1314 00:51:03,430 --> 00:50:59,520 because of that i'm going to 1315 00:51:07,670 --> 00:51:05,829 i generally make these live streams 1316 00:51:09,510 --> 00:51:07,680 private after i've livestreamed because 1317 00:51:12,470 --> 00:51:09,520 i treat them like a sports event or any 1318 00:51:14,390 --> 00:51:12,480 light like a play let's say if you come 1319 00:51:15,990 --> 00:51:14,400 halfway through the play you miss half 1320 00:51:17,670 --> 00:51:16,000 of the play you don't get to see the 1321 00:51:19,589 --> 00:51:17,680 first part or if you do then you're 1322 00:51:21,349 --> 00:51:19,599 going to miss the latter half you have 1323 00:51:22,950 --> 00:51:21,359 to catch it from the beginning to the 1324 00:51:24,790 --> 00:51:22,960 end just like you would in real life i 1325 00:51:26,790 --> 00:51:24,800 treat it as if it's real life which is 1326 00:51:28,870 --> 00:51:26,800 different than 1327 00:51:31,109 --> 00:51:28,880 youtube like youtube doesn't have a term 1328 00:51:33,190 --> 00:51:31,119 for that i wish youtube had a different 1329 00:51:34,710 --> 00:51:33,200 word that i could use 1330 00:51:37,430 --> 00:51:34,720 like a different setting to indicate 1331 00:51:39,349 --> 00:51:37,440 that this is that type of event 1332 00:51:41,349 --> 00:51:39,359 if you miss it live you miss it live and 1333 00:51:43,030 --> 00:51:41,359 you have to then wait for the dvd 1334 00:51:49,190 --> 00:51:43,040 edition you have to wait for it to be 1335 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:53,589 hmm 1336 00:51:57,270 --> 00:51:54,950 see people who 1337 00:51:59,990 --> 00:51:57,280 for example everyone here watching live 1338 00:52:02,230 --> 00:52:00,000 they can deal with my long pauses and my 1339 00:52:04,710 --> 00:52:02,240 incoherent ramblings 1340 00:52:06,150 --> 00:52:04,720 but when you watch it for most people 1341 00:52:08,069 --> 00:52:06,160 now some people will object and say no 1342 00:52:09,829 --> 00:52:08,079 no i like that i love watch i love joe 1343 00:52:11,589 --> 00:52:09,839 rogan just because of that okay well i'm 1344 00:52:14,790 --> 00:52:11,599 not at joe rogan's level i'm actually an 1345 00:52:16,309 --> 00:52:14,800 extremely small creator relatively so 1346 00:52:19,349 --> 00:52:16,319 so i use 1347 00:52:22,630 --> 00:52:19,359 some of the filmmaking skills that i've 1348 00:52:26,230 --> 00:52:22,640 gleaned over the years to 1349 00:52:28,309 --> 00:52:26,240 make it a better pristine product each 1350 00:52:30,549 --> 00:52:28,319 podcast i put out is like a gem 1351 00:52:32,630 --> 00:52:30,559 each one is like a pristine gem 1352 00:52:34,309 --> 00:52:32,640 i try to make it like that one of the 1353 00:52:36,309 --> 00:52:34,319 ways is with well 1354 00:52:37,910 --> 00:52:36,319 the audio that comes through here via 1355 00:52:40,950 --> 00:52:37,920 zoom is compressed people don't realize 1356 00:52:42,790 --> 00:52:40,960 how much audio matters for the end 1357 00:52:43,990 --> 00:52:42,800 product for example in films audio 1358 00:52:46,069 --> 00:52:44,000 matters much more than the visual 1359 00:52:48,309 --> 00:52:46,079 experience 1360 00:52:50,150 --> 00:52:48,319 okay so there's that i need to change it 1361 00:52:51,750 --> 00:52:50,160 for posterity for people who watch it 1362 00:52:54,150 --> 00:52:51,760 after when you're watching it live you 1363 00:52:56,549 --> 00:52:54,160 have the added exhilaration of this 1364 00:52:58,790 --> 00:52:56,559 extemporaneous factor there's a thrill 1365 00:53:01,190 --> 00:52:58,800 but it's it's not a great experience for 1366 00:53:02,150 --> 00:53:01,200 those who come later i've written this 1367 00:53:04,790 --> 00:53:02,160 down 1368 00:53:07,990 --> 00:53:04,800 on the subreddit reddit.com 1369 00:53:09,109 --> 00:53:08,000 r slash theories of everything 1370 00:53:11,190 --> 00:53:09,119 also 1371 00:53:13,190 --> 00:53:11,200 i tend to put out the video fairly soon 1372 00:53:15,829 --> 00:53:13,200 so it shouldn't be too much of a 1373 00:53:17,030 --> 00:53:15,839 big deal for people 24 hours to 48 hours 1374 00:53:19,270 --> 00:53:17,040 later 1375 00:53:21,349 --> 00:53:19,280 there's also conversations that happen 1376 00:53:24,230 --> 00:53:21,359 between me and a guest off here before i 1377 00:53:25,589 --> 00:53:24,240 ever go live and then often after i end 1378 00:53:27,190 --> 00:53:25,599 going live 1379 00:53:28,790 --> 00:53:27,200 such as well 1380 00:53:30,470 --> 00:53:28,800 there are plenty of examples of that and 1381 00:53:32,230 --> 00:53:30,480 i include some of that with the person's 1382 00:53:34,069 --> 00:53:32,240 permission 1383 00:53:35,670 --> 00:53:34,079 that won't be there and then also people 1384 00:53:37,589 --> 00:53:35,680 tend to share the live stream let's 1385 00:53:39,910 --> 00:53:37,599 imagine i unlisted people will then 1386 00:53:42,390 --> 00:53:39,920 share the unlisted live stream not every 1387 00:53:44,630 --> 00:53:42,400 hit but almost each hit matters 1388 00:53:46,470 --> 00:53:44,640 for a small creator like myself so when 1389 00:53:47,510 --> 00:53:46,480 someone shares the live stream which 1390 00:53:48,950 --> 00:53:47,520 i've heard some people saying are we 1391 00:53:51,270 --> 00:53:48,960 gonna have to record this now if people 1392 00:53:53,670 --> 00:53:51,280 start recording them then i'm gonna have 1393 00:53:55,109 --> 00:53:53,680 to just keep the conversations off air 1394 00:53:56,950 --> 00:53:55,119 because people will share that that will 1395 00:53:59,349 --> 00:53:56,960 get popular and then people won't come 1396 00:54:00,230 --> 00:53:59,359 to the tow channel or associate it with 1397 00:54:06,309 --> 00:54:00,240 the 1398 00:54:08,150 --> 00:54:06,319 private 1399 00:54:11,109 --> 00:54:08,160 there's other reasons 1400 00:54:12,870 --> 00:54:11,119 plenty of other reasons too 1401 00:54:14,069 --> 00:54:12,880 when someone says which guests theories 1402 00:54:16,230 --> 00:54:14,079 are most aligned with mines i'd say 1403 00:54:21,910 --> 00:54:16,240 chomsky and again i'll leave that for 1404 00:54:25,670 --> 00:54:24,230 vincent weaver says kurt my phone dies 1405 00:54:27,990 --> 00:54:25,680 and i may have missed my question 1406 00:54:30,470 --> 00:54:28,000 answered i did two super chats two super 1407 00:54:31,750 --> 00:54:30,480 chats about avilova i can't find the man 1408 00:54:33,190 --> 00:54:31,760 so 1409 00:54:35,190 --> 00:54:33,200 say it to me again 1410 00:54:38,470 --> 00:54:35,200 and make sure you act me so that it 1411 00:54:39,670 --> 00:54:38,480 shows up more blatantly art meditation 1412 00:54:41,030 --> 00:54:39,680 says hey kurt thanks for your 1413 00:54:43,829 --> 00:54:41,040 contribution is there going to be a part 1414 00:54:45,750 --> 00:54:43,839 three with leo guerra maybe 1415 00:54:49,430 --> 00:54:45,760 maybe quite some time from now man that 1416 00:54:53,510 --> 00:54:51,670 i was dealing with so much 1417 00:54:56,470 --> 00:54:53,520 at the time so much 1418 00:55:01,430 --> 00:54:59,349 well i was dealing with quite a bit 1419 00:55:03,190 --> 00:55:01,440 and i still put out that video and so 1420 00:55:05,109 --> 00:55:03,200 because of that that knocked me out for 1421 00:55:06,950 --> 00:55:05,119 a while for a little while and turned me 1422 00:55:08,390 --> 00:55:06,960 off of not interviewing not speaking 1423 00:55:10,390 --> 00:55:08,400 with leo but turned me off of doing a 1424 00:55:12,309 --> 00:55:10,400 pristine podcast with leo because it 1425 00:55:15,670 --> 00:55:12,319 takes so much work 1426 00:55:17,670 -->

possibility of writing a book about toes 1528 00:59:17,510 --> 00:59:15,680 theories of everything 1529 00:59:19,510 --> 00:59:17,520 can you say something about how you will 1530 00:59:21,270 --> 00:59:19,520 come at this big topic 1531 00:59:23,109 --> 00:59:21,280 will you try to be objective by 1532 00:59:25,750 --> 00:59:23,119 describing and comparing some of the 1533 00:59:27,190 --> 00:59:25,760 selected toes will you write about how 1534 00:59:29,190 --> 00:59:27,200 your interviews with the scientists 1535 00:59:30,870 --> 00:59:29,200 slash mystics and 1536 00:59:32,950 -->

00:59:41,990 --> 00:59:36,880 particularly like 1540 00:59:46,150 --> 00:59:43,270 i'm much more comfortable asking 1541 00:59:48,309 --> 00:59:46,160 questions than i am 1542 00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:48,319 answering questions 1543 00:59:51,270 --> 00:59:49,680 someone said i think you could pull a 1544 00:59:52,870 --> 00:59:51,280 lot together in such a book and i would 1545 00:59:55,349 --> 00:59:52,880 sure i would surely buy it so that's 1546 00:59:57,109 --> 00:59:55,359 richard brewster so as for the objective 1547 00:59:59,270 --> 00:59:57,119 question will i be objective i don't use 1548 01:00:05,510 --> 00:59:59,280 the word objective to describe anything 1549 01:00:09,109 --> 01:00:06,950 well what i would like to do would be a 1550 01:00:11,990 --> 01:00:09,119 conspectus of toes that is to write a 1551 01:00:15,030 --> 01:00:12,000 book with a page or two or three or four 1552 01:00:17,270 --> 01:00:15,040 depending on each toe in a manner that 1553 01:00:22,470 --> 01:00:17,280 the originator of the toe would say sure 1554 01:00:26,230 --> 01:00:24,309 roy dobson says congratulations on your 1555 01:00:27,589 --> 01:00:26,240 success you deserve it do you find that 1556 01:00:29,750 --> 01:00:27,599 personally you're getting closer to a 1557 01:00:31,510 --> 01:00:29,760 toe and two do you think 1558 01:00:32,789 --> 01:00:31,520 discovering a toe how do you think 1559 01:00:34,789 --> 01:00:32,799 discovering a toe would affect your 1560 01:00:37,190 --> 01:00:34,799 subjective experience i gave this 1561 01:00:38,630 --> 01:00:37,200 analogy before with the swimmer who's 1562 01:00:40,309 --> 01:00:38,640 underwater 1563 01:00:42,470 --> 01:00:40,319 let me i don't know if i can remember it 1564 01:00:44,309 --> 01:00:42,480 precisely 1565 01:00:46,069 --> 01:00:44,319 it's as if i have a flashlight and i can 1566 01:00:48,069 --> 01:00:46,079 see a certain distance above me 1567 01:00:49,910 --> 01:00:48,079 and i hope that i'm swimming upwards and 1568 01:00:53,030 --> 01:00:49,920 i have a 1569 01:00:55,030 --> 01:00:53,040 an estimate as to how 1570 01:00:57,030 --> 01:00:55,040 far i have to go to reach the surface 1571 01:00:59,910 --> 01:00:57,040 and while i'm swimming upward 1572 01:01:01,910 --> 01:00:59,920 the flashlight increases but so does my 1573 01:01:04,230 --> 01:01:01,920 estimate as to how much work is left 1574 01:01:05,990 --> 01:01:04,240 increases and as for how do i think 1575 01:01:07,670 --> 01:01:06,000 discovering a toe would change my 1576 01:01:09,750 --> 01:01:07,680 subjective experience i think it would 1577 01:01:11,270 --> 01:01:09,760 be transformative 1578 01:01:13,670 --> 01:01:11,280 in the positive sense though i'd say i'm 1579 01:01:15,109 --> 01:01:13,680 too cowardly to accept it in any form it 1580 01:01:17,109 --> 01:01:15,119 may take 1581 01:01:18,950 --> 01:01:17,119 the law of one says love your channel 1582 01:01:20,470 --> 01:01:18,960 brother what do you personally think 1583 01:01:22,069 --> 01:01:20,480 happens after we die 1584 01:01:23,750 --> 01:01:22,079 i don't think it's lights out like a 1585 01:01:25,190 --> 01:01:23,760 computer 1586 01:01:25,990 --> 01:01:25,200 i don't think it's the afterlife we 1587 01:01:28,390 --> 01:01:26,000 think 1588 01:01:30,950 --> 01:01:28,400 about either it may be 1589 01:01:31,829 --> 01:01:30,960 maybe both in some manner i'm not averse 1590 01:01:42,390 --> 01:01:31,839 to 1591 01:01:45,030 --> 01:01:42,400 deep is metaphysical and most of what's 1592 01:01:47,030 --> 01:01:45,040 metaphysical is not defined 1593 01:01:48,470 --> 01:01:47,040 precisely and thus 1594 01:01:50,630 --> 01:01:48,480 as we talk about it is going to be 1595 01:01:54,309 --> 01:01:50,640 contradictory 1596 01:01:55,829 --> 01:01:54,319 prashanti duta says thank you kurt 1597 01:01:57,190 --> 01:01:55,839 i'm curious how you prepare for these 1598 01:01:59,349 --> 01:01:57,200 interviews 1599 01:02:01,510 --> 01:01:59,359 i think i said that before pretty much 1600 01:02:04,390 --> 01:02:01,520 i look up lectures on the person 1601 01:02:05,510 --> 01:02:04,400 i watch some of their other interviews 1602 01:02:11,670 --> 01:02:05,520 i 1603 01:02:14,150 --> 01:02:11,680 look at the 1604 01:02:15,510 --> 01:02:14,160 top view if they have textbooks or 1605 01:02:17,990 --> 01:02:15,520 well if they're an academic they'll have 1606 01:02:19,190 --> 01:02:18,000 textbooks i may skim those 1607 01:02:21,190 --> 01:02:19,200 if they have 1608 01:02:22,549 --> 01:02:21,200 books then i'll try to read them pretty 1609 01:02:24,069 --> 01:02:22,559 much just that and then i write down 1610 01:02:25,430 --> 01:02:24,079 whatever questions occurred to me that's 1611 01:02:27,270 --> 01:02:25,440 it i just write them down whatever 1612 01:02:29,829 --> 01:02:27,280 questions occur to me and i'm doing this 1613 01:02:30,870 --> 01:02:29,839 over the course of a week or two weeks 1614 01:02:32,950 --> 01:02:30,880 and i 1615 01:02:34,710 --> 01:02:32,960 constantly say i can't say right now 1616 01:02:36,150 --> 01:02:34,720 because this will go off i say okay 1617 01:02:38,069 --> 01:02:36,160 google 1618 01:02:46,150 --> 01:02:38,079 all right so i say that 1619 01:02:50,549 --> 01:02:48,230 steve sanders says kurt two questions i 1620 01:02:52,470 --> 01:02:50,559 haven't heard that are bugging me is the 1621 01:02:55,910 --> 01:02:52,480 movie industry preparing humanity for 1622 01:03:00,710 --> 01:02:57,990 through science fiction movies 1623 01:03:03,670 --> 01:03:00,720 a sort of soft slow disclosure 1624 01:03:06,309 --> 01:03:03,680 no i think why we see science fiction 1625 01:03:09,190 --> 01:03:06,319 movies is indicative that the public is 1626 01:03:11,990 --> 01:03:09,200 craving content like this or 1627 01:03:14,309 --> 01:03:12,000 content on topics 1628 01:03:15,190 --> 01:03:14,319 about this you can view it in a union 1629 01:03:18,710 --> 01:03:15,200 sense 1630 01:03:20,549 --> 01:03:18,720 that the collective expresses some 1631 01:03:22,150 --> 01:03:20,559 unconscious desire the market will 1632 01:03:24,549 --> 01:03:22,160 express some unconscious desire of 1633 01:03:26,069 --> 01:03:24,559 people 1634 01:03:28,390 --> 01:03:26,079 i also think you're giving hollywood far 1635 01:03:30,630 --> 01:03:28,400 too much credit they're just avaricious 1636 01:03:33,109 --> 01:03:30,640 they care about dollar amount 1637 01:03:34,950 --> 01:03:33,119 the only morality is ostensible morality 1638 01:03:35,829 --> 01:03:34,960 when it comes to hollywood 1639 01:03:38,710 --> 01:03:35,839 they 1640 01:03:40,549 --> 01:03:38,720 have no long-term plan for disclosure 1641 01:03:42,150 --> 01:03:40,559 they don't care about the public being 1642 01:03:44,950 --> 01:03:42,160 informed other than being informed for 1643 01:03:47,270 --> 01:03:44,960 something of their own construction that 1644 01:03:49,109 --> 01:03:47,280 aids their bottom line their acquisitive 1645 01:03:51,349 --> 01:03:49,119 they don't care about by diversity for 1646 01:03:53,190 --> 01:03:51,359 example as as much as they say they care 1647 01:03:55,109 --> 01:03:53,200 about diversity i have some stories 1648 01:03:57,029 --> 01:03:55,119 about that 1649 01:03:58,390 --> 01:03:57,039 which i don't need to get into but it's 1650 01:04:00,309 --> 01:03:58,400 just hilarious that they'll say that 1651 01:04:03,029 --> 01:04:00,319 they care so much about diversity it's 1652 01:04:05,109 --> 01:04:03,039 hilarious to me 1653 01:04:07,430 --> 01:04:05,119 they don't they just care that 1654 01:04:10,309 --> 01:04:07,440 they would be criticized if they don't 1655 01:04:12,950 --> 01:04:10,319 pretend that they do 1656 01:04:14,710 --> 01:04:12,960 okay so fettuccine split 1657 01:04:17,670 --> 01:04:14,720 i think that's how you say it asks what 1658

01:05:19,990 --> 01:05:19,039 it has the following that it does i be a 1680 01:05:22,710 --> 01:05:20,000 bit more 1681 01:05:24,150 --> 01:05:22,720 insouciant with the construction of the 1682 01:05:28,309 --> 01:05:24,160 email 1683 01:05:29,589 --> 01:05:28,319 and mostly it's a luck it's a profusion 1684 01:05:35,029 --> 01:05:29,599 of luck 1685 01:05:38,309 --> 01:05:36,549 someone matt said how do we how should 1686 01:05:39,670 --> 01:05:38,319 we treat people like neil degrasse tyson 1687 01:05:43,109 --> 01:05:39,680 and others who think 1688 01:05:44,870 --> 01:05:43,119 this name namely 1689 01:05:47,190 --> 01:05:44,880 what we consider to be paranormal and 1690 01:05:50,069 --> 01:05:47,200 pseudoscience and so on who thinks that 1691 01:05:52,150 --> 01:05:50,079 this is all bs are they beholden are 1692 01:05:53,990 --> 01:05:52,160 they ignorant paid not to speak 1693 01:05:55,829 --> 01:05:54,000 can we trust what they're saying 1694 01:05:59,109 --> 01:05:55,839 i think that we should treat them with 1695 01:06:03,990 --> 01:06:01,750 i think that it's easy for us to say to 1696 01:06:06,309 --> 01:06:04,000 them your insensate and asinine and you 1697 01:06:08,470 --> 01:06:06,319 call yourself a skeptic but you don't do 1698 01:06:10,630 --> 01:06:08,480 x y and z like a skeptic should yeah do 1699 01:06:14,789 --> 01:06:10,640 that and see how far it takes you 1700 01:06:17,270 --> 01:06:14,799 what is the goal is the goal to win this 1701 01:06:19,430 --> 01:06:17,280 this transient dialogue and sacrifice 1702 01:06:22,309 --> 01:06:19,440 the greater battle 1703 01:06:24,710 --> 01:06:22,319 well in some ways that's how we got here 1704 01:06:27,349 --> 01:06:24,720 with the skeptics deriding 1705 01:06:30,150 --> 01:06:27,359 you or us other people 1706 01:06:31,990 --> 01:06:30,160 being condescending i advocate not for 1707 01:06:33,589 --> 01:06:32,000 and i don't i wouldn't say advocate but 1708 01:06:56,309 --> 01:06:33,599 i 1709 01:06:57,990 --> 01:06:56,319 of 1710 01:07:00,069 --> 01:06:58,000 psychic phenomenon and remote viewing 1711 01:07:01,349 --> 01:07:00,079 and so on and life after death and maybe 1712 01:07:04,150 --> 01:07:01,359 it's true that 1713 01:07:06,710 --> 01:07:04,160 we're just a collection of atoms that 1714 01:07:08,390 --> 01:07:06,720 somehow via some blocking mechanism 1715 01:07:10,230 --> 01:07:08,400 produce consciousness that could all be 1716 01:07:12,870 --> 01:07:10,240 true 1717 01:07:16,870 --> 01:07:15,190 so approach them as if 1718 01:07:17,910 --> 01:07:16,880 you're trying to find the truth in what 1719 01:07:19,910 --> 01:07:17,920 they're saying even if they're 1720 01:07:25,029 --> 01:07:19,920 dislogistic to you 1721 01:07:29,029 --> 01:07:26,789 so too honest but true says why can't 1722 01:07:31,430 --> 01:07:29,039 kurt just talk he chooses his words so 1723 01:07:33,990 --> 01:07:31,440 wisely it's annoying 1724 01:07:36,390 --> 01:07:34,000 on a good note happy to have someone 1725 01:07:38,710 --> 01:07:36,400 like him interested in ufo we need more 1726 01:07:41,829 --> 01:07:38,720 minds like okay so that's a twin 1727 01:07:42,789 --> 01:07:41,839 compliment and insult in some manner 1728 01:07:44,950 --> 01:07:42,799 well 1729 01:07:46,950 --> 01:07:44,960 like i mentioned it's a combination of 1730 01:07:49,990 --> 01:07:46,960 a nervousness 1731 01:07:58,789 --> 01:07:53,190 determining what i think is not easy 1732 01:08:02,870 --> 01:08:01,190 part of the problem or part of our 1733 01:08:05,750 --> 01:08:02,880 problem 1734 01:08:07,190 --> 01:08:05,760 in society is people say what 1735 01:08:10,390 --> 01:08:07,200 sounds 1736 01:08:11,829 --> 01:08:10,400 some manner 1737 01:08:14,230 --> 01:08:11,839 and they don't think they don't realize 1738 01:08:16,550 --> 01:08:14,240 that what they've said has been adopted 1739 01:08:18,309 --> 01:08:16,560 from someone else there's also a war of 1740 01:08:20,550 --> 01:08:18,319 options happening in me so maybe there's 1741 01:08:22,470 --> 01:08:20,560 three things i could say and then i see 1742 01:08:24,709 --> 01:08:22,480 critiques with each or critiques with 1743 01:08:27,189 --> 01:08:24,719 one or two of them and then i'm 1744 01:08:28,870 --> 01:08:27,199 so i'm i'm choosing between what to say 1745 01:08:30,709 --> 01:08:28,880 i'm also then 1746 01:08:32,630 --> 01:08:30,719 doing some comparison between what i 1747 01:08:34,870 --> 01:08:32,640 potentially could say and how i feel and 1748 01:08:37,189 --> 01:08:34,880 does that match because what's presented 1749 01:08:39,669 --> 01:08:37,199 to me by my unconscious is not always 1750 01:08:45,269 --> 01:08:39,679 what i think but just what's a reflex 1751 01:08:49,349 --> 01:08:47,749 it's a terribly confounding act to think 1752 01:08:50,870 --> 01:08:49,359 for myself 1753 01:08:52,309 --> 01:08:50,880 james curtis says i wonder

this 1757 01:09:00,070 --> 01:08:58,239 and it tells me consistently that 1758 01:09:03,030 --> 01:09:00,080 i'm not getting restful sleep like i 1759 01:09:06,149 --> 01:09:03,040 haven't had a

01:09:14,709 --> 01:09:12,960 restfulness score is always so low 1764 01:09:17,030 --> 01:09:14,719 chris salazar what are your thoughts on 1765 01:09:17,829 --> 01:09:17,040 penrose's conformal

that's going to be so wonderful so the 1832 01:12:36,229 --> 01:12:32,000 nature of 1833 01:12:38,149 --> 01:12:36,239 infinity is tied to that because of the 1834 01:12:40,950 --> 01:12:38,159 c the axiom of choice 1835 01:12:43,430 --> 01:12:40,960 and what computational logic versus 1836 01:12:45,830 --> 01:12:43,440 i forget what intuitionist logic versus 1837 01:12:47,510 --> 01:12:45,840 classical logic i believe 1838 01:12:49,590 --> 01:12:47,520 johnny cash says i'm always happy to 1839 01:12:51,750 --> 01:12:49,600 watch your videos informative helpful 1840 01:12:53,110 -->

mind is what happens after 1850 01:13:11,750 --> 01:13:08,880 one dies 1851 01:13:13,990 --> 01:13:13,030 would you want to know the answer to 1852 01:13:16,149 --> 01:13:14,000 that 1853 01:13:18,390 --> 01:13:16,159 like there are some answers 1854 01:13:21,030 --> 01:13:18,400 that if it was the case 1855 01:13:22,870 --> 01:13:21,040 would you be willing to accept it big x 1856 01:13:25,110 --> 01:13:22,880 says knowing what you do now versus 1857 01:13:26,630 --> 01:13:25,120 prior to your first uip interviewee how 1858 01:13:29,110 --> 01:13:26,640 has your perspective changed and are you 1859 01:13:30,790 --> 01:13:29,120 worried for your children 1860 01:13:40,229 --> 01:13:30,800 firstly i don't have children i would 1861 01:13:44,709 --> 01:13:41,990 i don't think i would be 1862 01:13:47,110 --> 01:13:44,719 no i i am worried but i think that's any 1863 01:13:48,709 --> 01:13:47,120 potential parents 1864 01:13:50,470 --> 01:13:48,719 that happens at every generation you're 1865 01:13:52,310 --> 01:13:50,480 worried about your kid 1866 01:13:54,229 --> 01:13:52,320 oh this is a great question underscore 1867 01:13:55,510 --> 01:13:54,239 asks has anyone showed you classified 1868 01:13:56,550 --> 01:13:55,520 things 1869 01:13:57,750 --> 01:13:56,560 no 1870 01:14:01,830 --> 01:13:57,760 i wish they 1871 01:14:04,790 --> 01:14:01,840 do you believe humans are being 1872 01:14:07,430 --> 01:14:04,800 monitored by aliens with super advanced 1873 01:14:09,830 --> 01:14:07,440 technology 1874 01:14:11,910 --> 01:14:09,840 i i see it being i see it's conceivable 1875 01:14:13,350 --> 01:14:11,920 that that's the case like if china can 1876 01:14:14,870 --> 01:14:13,360 potentially monitor 1877 01:14:17,270 --> 01:14:14,880 all of what's happening here and i'm 1878 01:14:19,270 --> 01:14:17,280 sure the us is monitoring china how's it 1879 01:14:21,910 --> 01:14:19,280 so out of the realm of possibilities 1880 01:14:23,430 --> 01:14:21,920 that someone far more advanced is doing 1881 01:14:24,229 --> 01:14:23,440 the same to us 1882 01:14:31,350 --> 01:14:24,239 though 1883 01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:34,310 as you're younger 1884 01:14:38,310 --> 01:14:36,310 as you're less wise you're more inclined 1885 01:14:40,709 --> 01:14:38,320 to look at someone's phone 1886 01:14:42,310 --> 01:14:40,719 let's say and snoop into someone's email 1887 01:14:43,350 --> 01:14:42,320 or read some sheet of paper you're not 1888 01:14:45,590 --> 01:14:43,360 supposed to 1889 01:14:47,510 --> 01:14:45,600 but as you i imagine 1890 01:14:49,110 --> 01:14:47,520 this is the case as one gets more quote 1891 01:14:51,669 --> 01:14:49,120 unquote wise 1892 01:14:53,830 --> 01:14:51,679 one is disinclined to do so because you 1893 01:14:57,830 --> 01:14:53,840 believe this is someone's private even 1894 01:14:59,590 --> 01:14:57,840 if there's information that is 1895 01:15:01,990 --> 01:14:59,600 that affects me 1896 01:15:04,630 --> 01:15:02,000 or reveals some lie of theirs that they 1897 01:15:07,510 --> 01:15:04,640 said to me and so on that's their 1898 01:15:09,669 --> 01:15:07,520 information that's their privacy 1899 01:15:12,229 --> 01:15:09,679 so it could be the case that with 1900 01:15:15,669 --> 01:15:12,239 the technological advancement assuming 1901 01:15:18,070 --> 01:15:15,679 aliens are more technologically advanced 1902 01:15:20,229 --> 01:15:18,080 then it may be the case that they have a 1903 01:15:21,910 --> 01:15:20,239 morality system such as that so perhaps 1904 01:15:24,310 --> 01:15:21,920 they could monitor us and choose not to 1905 01:15:26,630 --> 01:15:24,320 for some reason like that kurt would you 1906 01:15:28,790 --> 01:15:26,640 have alex jones on no i'm not interested 1907 01:15:30,630 --> 01:15:28,800 like maybe if i looked up alex jones but 1908 01:15:32,470 --> 01:15:30,640 i haven't looked 1909 01:15:34,229 --> 01:15:32,480 i haven't seen much about alex jones 1910 01:15:35,750 --> 01:15:34,239 other than 1911 01:15:38,870 --> 01:15:35,760 i i've seen that he looks like someone 1912 01:15:41,669 --> 01:15:38,880 who works out 1913 01:15:44,470 --> 01:15:41,679 extremely and is angry 1914 01:15:46,790 --> 01:15:44,480 but i don't know much about him so 1915 01:15:48,390 --> 01:15:46,800 i would i would potentially have on alex 1916 01:15:49,910 --> 01:15:48,400 jones but i don't know anything about 1917 01:15:53,189 --> 01:15:49,920 him 1918 01:15:55,350 --> 01:15:53,199 natalie says 7 20 17 29 it's making sure 1919 01:15:57,750 --> 01:15:55,360 that we place that into our working 1920 01:15:59,270 --> 01:15:57,760 memory spiritual astronaut are there 1921 01:16:00,709 --> 01:15:59,280 some areas related to the nature of 1922 01:16:02,310 --> 01:16:00,719 consciousness that you consider to be 1923 01:16:04,229 --> 01:16:02,320 too taboo 1924 01:16:06,070 --> 01:16:04,239 and perceived as shameful 1925 01:16:07,590 --> 01:16:06,080 too shameful to talk about seriously i 1926 01:16:09,270 --> 01:16:07,600 don't think so 1927 01:16:11,110 --> 01:16:09,280 not particularly and that's either 1928 01:16:13,590 --> 01:16:11,120 fortunately or unfortunately depending 1929 01:16:15,350 --> 01:16:13,600 on how one looks at it what is the 1930 01:16:17,110 --> 01:16:15,360 reason for you delving into these 1931 01:16:20,470 --> 01:16:17,120 conversations on physics consciousness 1932 01:16:21,830 --> 01:16:20,480 and free will says say in i am i'm 1933 01:16:23,350 --> 01:16:21,840 interested and i don't have a reason 1934 01:16:25,669 --> 01:16:23,360 outside of something that i would simply 1935 01:16:26,870 --> 01:16:25,679 confabulate to give you an answer it's 1936 01:16:28,310 --> 01:16:26,880 difficult to discern one's own 1937 01:16:29,990 --> 01:16:28,320 motivations 1938 01:16:32,470 --> 01:16:30,000 so i'm going to keep this to myself 1939 01:16:34,709 --> 01:16:32,480 until i've done enough soul searching i 1940 01:16:37,110 --> 01:16:34,719 find this topic wonderfully 1941 01:16:43,430 --> 01:16:37,120 pre-possessing i'll say that 1942 01:16:48,229 --> 01:16:45,830 word counterino cripperino i love that 1943 01:16:50,790 --> 01:16:48,239 name by the way i also try journaling 1944 01:16:52,470 --> 01:16:50,800 two in the morning so kurt if i may ask 1945 01:16:54,550 --> 01:16:52,480 do you open up a new 1946 01:16:57,189 --> 01:16:54,560 document and write on a blank slate each 1947 01:16:59,590 --> 01:16:57,199 morning or is it one large document 1948 01:17:01,430 --> 01:16:59,600 so just for some background i try to do 1949 01:17:03,189 --> 01:17:01,440 some writing each morning 1950 01:17:05,110 --> 01:17:03,199 just a few minutes 1951 01:17:06,470 --> 01:17:05,120 it's never an empty document 1952 01:17:08,229 --> 01:17:06,480 i have thoughts that occur to me 1953 01:17:10,709 --> 01:17:08,239 throughout the day and my skimble 1954 01:17:12,070 --> 01:17:10,719 scandal voice notes which i record 1955 01:17:13,750 --> 01:17:12,080 incessantly 1956 01:17:15,110 --> 01:17:13,760 that my wife hates because i interrupt 1957 01:17:17,110 --> 01:17:15,120 almost 1958 01:17:18,310 --> 01:17:17,120 whatev i interrupt whatever we're doing 1959 01:17:19,830 --> 01:17:18,320 like let's say we're watching a movie i 1960 01:17:21,110 --> 01:17:19,840 have to press pause or we're going for a 1961 01:17:22,310 --> 01:17:21,120 walk i have to in the middle of a 1962 01:17:24,310 --> 01:17:22,320 conversation 1963 01:17:26,070 --> 01:17:24,320 note to self someone so and so so i have 1964 01:17:28,149 --> 01:17:26,080 these short notes that i need to expand 1965 01:17:29,430 --> 01:17:28,159 upon later and i 1966 01:17:31,510 --> 01:17:29,440 generally 1967 01:17:33,830 --> 01:17:31,520 take those 1968 01:17:36,310 --> 01:17:33,840 incoherent ramblings and then enlarge 1969 01:17:38,470 --> 01:17:36,320 them i have themed docs and i placed 1970 01:17:40,790 --> 01:17:38,480 them in their proper place 1971 01:17:42,470 --> 01:17:40,800 tadija mitrovic wants to know was there 1972 01:17:45,110 --> 01:17:42,480 a moment in the langan interview that 1973 01:17:46,870 --> 01:17:45,120 something clicked 1974 01:17:48,149 --> 01:17:46,880 where the where you had an understanding 1975 01:17:50,310 --> 01:17:48,159 of some concept that you had struggled 1976 01:17:51,510 --> 01:17:50,320 with before i believe it happened twice 1977 01:17:53,110 --> 01:17:51,520 during that interview but i don't 1978 01:17:57,830 --> 01:17:53,120 remember 1979 01:17:59,510 --> 01:17:57,840 rad jre says if kurt is so smart why 1980 01:18:01,750 --> 01:17:59,520 doesn't he ask glaringly obvious 1981 01:18:04,149 --> 01:18:01,760 follow-ups he does have a velvety voice 1982 01:18:05,590 --> 01:18:04,159 though well thank you rad i'm not 1983 01:18:07,189 --> 01:18:05,600 terribly bright 1984 01:18:08,390 --> 01:18:07,199 and i'm unsure what follow-ups you're 1985 01:18:10,709 --> 01:18:08,400 referring to 1986 01:18:13,189 --> 01:18:10,719 see much of the time what someone thinks 1987 01:18:16,550 --> 01:18:13,199 is obvious is not obvious to me and vice 1988 01:18:17,750 --> 01:18:16,560 versa and also there are quite a few 1989 01:18:19,510 --> 01:18:17,760 plates that are being spun 1990 01:18:20,470 --> 01:18:19,520 simultaneously whenever i'm speaking to 1991 01:18:22,550 --> 01:18:20,480 someone 1992 01:18:25,030 --> 01:18:22,560 so choosing exactly what question to ask 1993 01:18:26,550 --> 01:18:25,040 next is not a trivial task so for 1994 01:18:28,310 --> 01:18:26,560 example i'm thinking well what would the 1995 01:18:30,310 --> 01:18:28,320 person say to this and if i can predict 1996 01:18:31,830 --> 01:18:30,320 it i generally don't ask it if i can 1997 01:18:33,910 --> 01:18:31,840 predict what the person is going to say 1998 01:18:35,669 --> 01:18:33,920 even if it's interesting well if it's 1999 01:18:37,350 --> 01:18:35,679 sufficiently interesting i'll ask it but 2000 01:18:39,590 --> 01:18:37,360 if it's insufficiently interesting i'm 2001 01:18:41,430 --> 01:18:39,600 not going to ask it and most of the time 2002 01:18:43,270 --> 01:18:41,440 before the interview i can heavily 2003 01:18:44,950 --> 01:18:43,280 emulate the person in my head for 2004 01:18:47,270 --> 01:18:44,960 example with leo gura before we started 2005 01:18:48,790 --> 01:18:47,280 speaking i told him 2006 01:18:50,310 --> 01:18:48,800 i understand your theory at an 2007 01:18:52,310 --> 01:18:50,320 intellectual level 2008 01:18:54,709 --> 01:18:52,320 if someone i could 2009 01:18:56,790 --> 01:18:54,719 because presumptuous of me but if 2010 01:18:58,470 --> 01:18:56,800 someone was to ask leo gura a question i 2011 01:18:59,910 --> 01:18:58,480 could answer it and people wouldn't be 2012 01:19:01,430 --> 01:18:59,920 able to tell the difference 2013 01:19:02,709 --> 01:19:01,440 that's what i mean that i can emulate so 2014 01:19:04,470 --> 01:19:02,719 i try to get to the point where i can 2015 01:19:06,310 --> 01:19:04,480 emulate the person that's how i know 2016 01:19:07,750 --> 01:19:06,320 that i have an intellectual 2017 01:19:10,550 --> 01:19:07,760 understanding it doesn't mean that i 2018 01:19:12,630 --> 01:19:10,560 have an embodied understanding because 2019 01:19:14,630 --> 01:19:12,640 well 2020 01:19:15,990 --> 01:19:14,640 that's completely different 2021 01:19:18,149 --> 01:19:16,000 so if i can predict what the person is 2022 01:19:19,830 --> 01:19:18,159 going to say i tend to not ask it 2023 01:19:21,510 --> 01:19:19,840 i'm also thinking of the other questions 2024 01:19:23,590 --> 01:19:21,520 that i have because i only have a 2025 01:19:25,350 --> 01:19:23,600 certain amount of time with the person 2026 01:19:27,430 --> 01:19:25,360 i'm also thinking about where is the 2027 01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:27,440 audience right now though i do so 2028 01:19:31,830 --> 01:19:29,040 minimally because 2029 01:19:33,910 --> 01:19:31,840 i tend to be selfish and think about 2030 01:19:35,510 --> 01:19:33,920 as if it's a one-on-one that's still 2031 01:19:37,110 --> 01:19:35,520 though in my mind where's the audience 2032 01:19:38,870 --> 01:19:37,120 in terms of the progression of what 2033 01:19:41,189 --> 01:19:38,880 we've talked about so far 2034 01:19:42,390 --> 01:19:41,199 i'm also thinking of the person that i'm 2035 01:19:43,750 --> 01:19:42,400 interviewing 2036 01:19:45,590 --> 01:19:43,760 stamina 2037 01:19:47,270 --> 01:19:45,600 how long they can how long they'll take 2038 01:19:49,510 --> 01:19:47,280 to answer the question 2039 01:19:51,430 --> 01:19:49,520 how they will take the question that is 2040 01:19:54,390 --> 01:19:51,440 how they will interpret the question 2041 01:19:55,830 --> 01:19:54,400 i watch their body language i see 2042 01:19:57,189 --> 01:19:55,840 if i'm pushing in a direction that will 2043 01:19:59,350 --> 01:19:57,199 loosen them or tighten them or 2044 01:20:01,030 --> 01:19:59,360 invigorate them or be less receptive to 2045 01:20:02,870 --> 01:20:01,040 follow-ups in this area but it's also 2046 01:20:05,030 --> 01:20:02,880 like chests where i can see or try to 2047 01:20:06,790 --> 01:20:05,040 see a couple moves ahead 2048 01:20:08,470 --> 01:20:06,800 so if i was to ask this this would lead 2049 01:20:09,669 --> 01:20:08,480 to this this would lead to this 2050 01:20:11,350 --> 01:20:09,679 so perhaps 2051 01:20:12,790 --> 01:20:11,360 a better avenue is this 2052 01:20:13,830 --> 01:20:12,800 so that's also what's going on in my 2053 01:20:15,669 --> 01:20:13,840 head 2054 01:20:17,189 --> 01:20:15,679 i'm also relating it like this is mainly 2055 01:20:18,870 --> 01:20:17,199 what's happening too as i'm relating 2056 01:20:21,830 --> 01:20:18,880 relating it to concepts i already 2057 01:20:22,870 --> 01:20:21,840 understand contextualizing it 2058 01:20:24,950 --> 01:20:22,880 so all of that's occurring 2059 01:20:27,590 --> 01:20:24,960 simultaneously and when you say that i 2060 01:20:29,590 --> 01:20:27,600 don't ask glaringly obvious follow-ups 2061 01:20:32,070 --> 01:20:29,600 i'm doing 2062 01:20:34,870 --> 01:20:32,080 well perhaps i'm not and that's those 2063 01:20:36,310 --> 01:20:34,880 are some of the reasons 2064 01:20:37,669 --> 01:20:36,320 i have a feeling what's underneath this 2065 01:20:40,550 --> 01:20:37,679 person's question is that i'm not being 2066 01:20:42,470 --> 01:20:40,560 skeptical enough but like i said my job 2067 01:20:44,390 --> 01:20:42,480 i don't see myself as being skeptical 2068 01:20:46,470 --> 01:20:44,400 i'm not there to critique them i'm there 2069 01:20:48,149 --> 01:20:46,480 to try to understand them plenty of 2070 01:20:49,910 --> 01:20:48,159 people they'll say hey you weren't tough 2071 01:20:52,550 --> 01:20:49,920 enough on louis ellison or tough enough 2072 01:20:54,790 --> 01:20:52,560 on so and so i invariably ask what do 2073 01:20:56,470 --> 01:20:54,800 you mean like what would be a question 2074 01:20:59,430 --> 01:20:56,480 that 2075 01:21:01,430 --> 01:20:59,440 they're almost 2076 01:21:03,590 --> 01:21:01,440 always questions about how do i know 2077 01:21:05,189 --> 01:21:03,600 what the person is saying is true 2078 01:21:07,189 --> 01:21:05,199 well 2079 01:21:08,950 --> 01:21:07,199 like i said i go in 2080 01:21:11,189 --> 01:21:08,960 assuming the person is truthful and then 2081 01:21:12,709 --> 01:21:11,199 thinking what are the consequences and 2082 01:21:15,590 --> 01:21:12,719 how do i relate it to other concepts 2083 01:21:17,270 --> 01:21:15,600 that i know how can i understand this 2084 01:21:19,189 --> 01:21:17,280 for example i 2085 01:21:21,590 --> 01:21:19,199 feel like leo guru is truthful when he 2086 01:21:23,750 --> 01:21:21,600 says that he believes he is whatever he 2087 01:21:25,590 --> 01:21:23,760 says he is and then i'm curious okay if 2088 01:21:27,750 --> 01:21:25,600 you believe that do you not also believe 2089 01:21:29,270 --> 01:21:27,760 this and so on and so on i'm not going 2090 01:21:32,950 --> 01:21:29,280 to say no you're just saying that 2091 01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:38,950 someone else can do that 2092 01:21:44,630 --> 01:21:43,030 hi yui says i'm interested 2093 01:21:49,669 --> 01:21:44,640 no this one's a bit 2094 01:21:52,390 --> 01:21:50,550 well 2095 01:21:54,950 --> 01:21:52,400 in one of my videos i said i think the 2096 01:21:56,390 --> 01:21:54,960 leo gura video in the description 2097 01:21:58,149 --> 01:21:56,400 not in the video itself in the 2098 01:22:00,709 --> 01:21:58,159 description i said that i 2099 01:22:02,790 --> 01:22:00,719 want to thank jess palmer jess palmer is 2100 01:22:04,870 --> 01:22:02,800 someone who 2101 01:22:07,030 --> 01:22:04,880 let's see 2102 01:22:08,950 --> 01:22:07,040 i wrote an old friend who i realized 2103 01:22:11,669 --> 01:22:08,960 more and more was right about spiritual 2104 01:22:12,790 --> 01:22:11,679 matters despite my regretful obstinance 2105 01:22:14,870 --> 01:22:12,800 and derision 2106 01:22:16,790 --> 01:22:14,880 what i mean is that i had a 2107 01:22:18,790 --> 01:22:16,800 close friend named just 2108 01:22:22,310 --> 01:22:18,800 named jess and we would talk about 2109 01:22:23,430 --> 01:22:22,320 philosophy and i was so pig-headed 2110 01:22:25,270 --> 01:22:23,440 and 2111 01:22:26,709 --> 01:22:25,280 rude this is another reason why i say 2112 01:22:28,390 --> 01:22:26,719 that doesn't matter if you win quote 2113 01:22:29,669 --> 01:22:28,400 unquote win an argument doesn't mean 2114 01:22:31,030 --> 01:22:29,679 you're right 2115 01:22:33,350 --> 01:22:31,040 because sometimes 2116 01:22:35,270 --> 01:22:33,360 someone can be right and not 2117 01:22:39,110 --> 01:22:35,280 be articulate enough to express that 2118 01:22:41,830 --> 01:22:39,120 they're right or say it in a manner that 2119 01:22:45,110 --> 01:22:43,910 anyway i would unconsciously view each 2120 01:22:46,870 --> 01:22:45,120 of our 2121 01:22:49,030 --> 01:22:46,880 interactions as a sparring battle and i 2122 01:22:50,149 --> 01:22:49,040 would just try to prove him wrong rather 2123 01:22:52,390 --> 01:22:50,159 than 2124 01:22:54,709 --> 01:22:52,400 get to quote unquote the truth 2125 01:22:56,470 --> 01:22:54,719 and it took me an inordinately long time 2126 01:23:00,070 --> 01:22:56,480 to realize i was doing that and it was 2127 01:23:00,870 --> 01:23:00,080 hurtful to him extremely hurtful damaged 2128 01:23:05,350 --> 01:23:00,880 it 2129 01:23:10,550 --> 01:23:07,669 and i realize more and more now that 2130 01:23:12,310 --> 01:23:10,560 actually he was right in so many ways so 2131 01:23:13,990 --> 01:23:12,320 many ways 2132 01:23:16,709 --> 01:23:14,000 and i just regret that i treated him 2133 01:23:18,550 --> 01:23:16,719 like that some of to has 2134 01:23:20,950 --> 01:23:18,560 it's positively influenced toe in the 2135 01:23:24,149 --> 01:23:20,960 sense that i take that attitude this 2136 01:23:27,430 --> 01:23:25,830 maybe what this person is saying is 2137 01:23:30,310 --> 01:23:27,440 correct and they're just not saying it 2138 01:23:32,149 --> 01:23:30,320 correctly so can i add to it can i 2139 01:23:33,990 --> 01:23:32,159 approach it from a different angle not 2140 01:23:39,510 --> 01:23:34,000 to critique it not to destroy it but to 2141 01:23:42,310 --> 01:23:41,030 so this is 2142 01:23:43,830 --> 01:23:42,320 i have plenty of 2143 01:23:45,830 --> 01:23:43,840 plenty to thank 2144 01:23:49,430 --> 01:23:45,840 jess for and plenty to apologize to him 2145 01:23:52,550 --> 01:23:51,189 kevin creegan says kurt i wanted to ask 2146 01:23:54,550 --> 01:23:52,560 you about your statement that you had 2147 01:23:56,950 --> 01:23:54,560 noticed the various individuals in the 2148 01:23:59,030 --> 01:23:56,960 non-dualist spiritual school 2149 01:24:01,189 --> 01:23:59,040 as well as other teachers like thomas 2150 01:24:03,189 --> 01:24:01,199 campbell had impressed you as being more 2151 01:24:05,110 --> 01:24:03,199 or less phony 2152 01:24:07,030 --> 01:24:05,120 well i don't think i said that thomas 2153 01:24:08,070 --> 01:24:07,040 campbell was phony and if i did i take 2154 01:24:10,790 --> 01:24:08,080 that back 2155 01:24:12,629 --> 01:24:10,800 i don't think of him as phony 2156 01:24:14,229 --> 01:24:12,639 in fact i think the way thomas campbell 2157 01:24:15,669 --> 01:24:14,239 thinks and the way that i think are so 2158 01:24:16,950 --> 01:24:15,679 alike that it's almost like watching 2159 01:24:18,390 --> 01:24:16,960 myself 2160 01:24:19,430 --> 01:24:18,400 for example he was speaking to rupert 2161 01:24:21,030 --> 01:24:19,440 spyra 2162 01:24:23,270 --> 01:24:21,040 in some video 2163 01:24:26,470 --> 01:24:23,280 last month or two months ago it was like 2164 01:24:27,830 --> 01:24:26,480 watching myself speak to rupert spyra in 2165 01:24:29,189 --> 01:24:27,840 what he was putting up against rupert 2166 01:24:30,070 --> 01:24:29,199 spyro for example he was saying how do 2167 01:24:32,709 --> 01:24:30,080 you know there's some there's not 2168 01:24:36,310 --> 01:24:32,719 something outside consciousness well tom 2169 01:24:37,910 --> 01:24:36,320 is that not an unscientific question 2170 01:24:40,070 --> 01:24:37,920 yes but well it 2171 01:24:42,149 --> 01:24:40,080 but how do you know well tom why would 2172 01:24:45,350 --> 01:24:42,159 you have to assume in the materialist 2173 01:24:46,870 --> 01:24:45,360 paradigm so the way that tom and spyro 2174 01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:46,880 were speaking with one another just the 2175 01:24:52,229 --> 01:24:49,360 way that i was speaking to spyro 2176 01:24:54,070 --> 01:24:52,239 kevin if you can find where i said that 2177 01:24:55,350 --> 01:24:54,080 i believe thomas campbell to be phony 2178 01:24:57,669 --> 01:24:55,360 then please 2179 01:24:59,750 --> 01:24:57,679 send that to me and 2180 01:25:01,910 --> 01:24:59,760 perhaps the context will reveal what i 2181 01:25:07,030 --> 01:25:01,920 meant or i simply misspoke or i was 2182 01:25:11,189 --> 01:25:09,189 so lord tyrones wants to know what's my 2183 01:25:12,950 --> 01:25:11,199 favorite theory of everything so far to 2184 01:25:15,030 --> 01:25:12,960 be honest it's usually the theory that 2185 01:25:17,030 --> 01:25:15,040 i'm that i'm currently studying that's 2186 01:25:19,830 --> 01:25:17,040 usually my favorite and so that's a 2187 01:25:21,350 --> 01:25:19,840 secret right now 2188 01:25:23,430 --> 01:25:21,360 dirt flyer wants to know if i can get 2189 01:25:25,430 --> 01:25:23,440 bob lazaro on the show i'm trying to get 2190 01:25:27,830 --> 01:25:25,440 bob lazar on the show as for what i 2191 01:25:30,229 --> 01:25:27,840 would like to ask him most it would be 2192 01:25:35,669 --> 01:25:30,239 some technical physics questions about 2193 01:25:39,030 --> 01:25:37,270 phil parker says thank you so much for 2194 01:25:40,790 --> 01:25:39,040 being open-minded and not sticking to a 2195 01:25:42,870 --> 01:25:40,800 narrative and asking good questions

say that i 2199 01:25:51,990 --> 01:25:50,239 i'm foolish i'm too foolish to have a 2200 01:25:53,350 --> 01:25:52,000 worldview and thus i don't know what's 2201 01:25:54,470 --> 01:25:53,360 true

reality as for 2208 01:26:15,430 --> 01:26:09,440 robert lanza he's on the list i don't 2209 01:26:18,709 --> 01:26:17,189 natalie says 2210 01:26:23,510 --> 01:26:18,719 balaji 2211 01:26:24,870 -->

01:27:04,870 --> 01:27:03,120 don't know how to answer a question like 2233 01:27:06,870 --> 01:27:04,880 do i find it likely i don't i don't like 2234 01:27:08,550 --> 01:27:06,880 questions about probability i think the 2235 01:27:10,470 --> 01:27:08,560 way that people use it is more 2236 01:27:12,470 --> 01:27:10,480 indicative of unconscious beliefs than 2237 01:27:14,629 --> 01:27:12,480 it is of something like bayesian 2238 01:27:19,189 --> 01:27:14,639 reasoning 2239 01:27:23,550 --> 01:27:19,199 unconscious beliefs anyway 2240 01:27:25,830 --> 01:27:23,560 because of priors or at leo 2241 01:27:27,750 --> 01:27:25,840 58246593 says i'm biased how do you 2242 01:27:30,070 --> 01:27:27,760 think your audience will react to leo 2243 01:27:32,470 --> 01:27:30,080 that is leo gura this was before the leo 2244 01:27:34,550 --> 01:27:32,480 gura video was posted now again i don't 2245 01:27:35,990 --> 01:27:34,560 like to think in terms of my audience 2246 01:27:37,990 --> 01:27:36,000 quote-unquote 2247 01:27:39,270 --> 01:27:38,000 for one they're not watching me they're 2248 01:27:41,350 --> 01:27:39,280 not watching from 2249 01:27:42,709 --> 01:27:41,360 kurt necessarily they're watching 2250 01:27:44,070 --> 01:27:42,719 because they're interested in hearing 2251 01:27:45,350 --> 01:27:44,080 some 2252 01:27:46,709 --> 01:27:45,360 perspectives 2253 01:27:48,470 --> 01:27:46,719 perhaps they are watching because they 2254 01:27:49,830 --> 01:27:48,480 want to build their own toes so rather 2255 01:27:51,910 --> 01:27:49,840 than curt followers they're more like 2256 01:27:54,310 --> 01:27:51,920 toe builders additionally it's not like 2257 01:27:57,030 --> 01:27:54,320 i'm the host of toe like i am 2258 01:27:59,350 --> 01:27:57,040 well i'm the host of toe visually but 2259 01:28:02,709 --> 01:27:59,360 the movement of toe that is 2260 01:28:04,790 --> 01:28:02,719 whatever this is is is larger than kurt 2261 01:28:07,270 --> 01:28:04,800 and at some point i'll likely remove my 2262 01:28:10,470 --> 01:28:07,280 name from the channel because of that 2263 01:28:11,750 --> 01:28:10,480 i understand your question though 2264 01:28:14,870 --> 01:28:11,760 you're wondering okay how will people 2265 01:28:16,310 --> 01:28:14,880 who regularly view the toe channel view 2266 01:28:17,590 --> 01:28:16,320 leo gura 2267 01:28:19,750 --> 01:28:17,600 i think much in the same way that they 2268 01:28:21,750 --> 01:28:19,760 view bernardo castro or spyra though 2269 01:28:23,669 --> 01:28:21,760 more on the spira side see it's 2270 01:28:26,149 --> 01:28:23,679 difficult for me to assess ontological 2271 01:28:28,390 --> 01:28:26,159 claims that allow for contradictions 2272 01:28:30,390 --> 01:28:28,400 because while the way that my mind works 2273 01:28:31,510 --> 01:28:30,400 is that you validate something usually 2274 01:28:33,110 --> 01:28:31,520 by proof 2275 01:28:34,310 --> 01:28:33,120 or invalidate 2276 01:28:36,149 --> 01:28:34,320 via proof 2277 01:28:37,750 --> 01:28:36,159 by contradiction and then when you're 2278 01:28:39,350 --> 01:28:37,760 not allowed that when someone says well 2279 01:28:41,270 --> 01:28:39,360 contradictions are allowed then firstly 2280 01:28:43,990 --> 01:28:41,280 anything that i say could be true and 2281 01:28:45,830 --> 01:28:44,000 untrue simultaneously 2282 01:28:48,790 --> 01:28:45,840 and secondly then you're left with proof 2283 01:28:52,870 --> 01:28:48,800 by construction which is a terribly 2284 01:28:52,880 --> 01:29:01,189 terribly terribly difficult 2285 01:29:01,199 --> 01:29:03,990 hmm 2286 01:29:08,149 --> 01:29:06,550 pbr street gang says kurt jeremy said 2287 01:29:09,590 --> 01:29:08,159 that crap can go faster than the speed 2288 01:29:13,030 --> 01:29:09,600 of light and you didn't challenge him 2289 01:29:14,870 --> 01:29:13,040 why didn't you so again my 2290 01:29:17,830 --> 01:29:14,880 i'm not there to challenge 2291 01:29:19,270 --> 01:29:17,840 i also like i mentioned before sometimes 2292 01:29:21,430 --> 01:29:19,280 with the meaning behind what someone is 2293 01:29:22,310 --> 01:29:21,440 saying is true the explication of it is 2294 01:29:23,430 --> 01:29:22,320 false 2295 01:29:25,270 --> 01:29:23,440 so 2296 01:29:27,110 --> 01:29:25,280 and thirdly who knows if we can exceed 2297 01:29:28,629 --> 01:29:27,120 the speed of light sure that will break 2298 01:29:31,590 --> 01:29:28,639 causality but it's not as if we think 2299 01:29:33,910 --> 01:29:31,600 that the mainstream view in physics 2300 01:29:36,070 --> 01:29:33,920 is that causality doesn't exist anyway 2301 01:29:37,590 --> 01:29:36,080 see people like sean carroll and there 2302 01:29:38,629 --> 01:29:37,600 are different models like stephen 2303 01:29:41,590 --> 01:29:38,639 wolframs where there are different 2304 01:29:59,669 --> 01:29:41,600 speeds of light or more precisely that 2305 01:30:04,870 --> 01:30:02,390 says man give yourself a break in all 2306 01:30:07,750 --> 01:30:04,880 caps literally and at all different 2307 01:30:10,310 --> 01:30:07,760 levels of analysis simultaneously lol 2308 01:30:11,590 --> 01:30:10,320 capitalized you need capitalized that 2309 01:30:12,390 --> 01:30:11,600 and deserve 2310 01:30:14,149 --> 01:30:12,400 that 2311 01:30:17,270 --> 01:30:14,159 being obsessed with productivity is 2312 01:30:20,709 --> 01:30:17,280 counterproductive even god himself had 2313 01:30:22,870 --> 01:30:20,719 at least a nap or something 2314 01:30:24,470 --> 01:30:22,880 yeah yes yeah well firstly i'm not 2315 01:30:26,070 --> 01:30:24,480 obsessed with pro with productivity at 2316 01:30:28,870 --> 01:30:26,080 all 2317 01:30:31,030 --> 01:30:28,880 with that 2318 01:30:34,470 --> 01:30:31,040 and i do need a break and i am going to 2319 01:30:38,070 --> 01:30:36,470 and just so you know for those 2320 01:30:39,990 --> 01:30:38,080 who are interested 2321 01:30:42,070 --> 01:30:40,000 there's two sources that allow me to do 2322 01:30:43,430 --> 01:30:42,080 this full-time and that is the patrons 2323 01:30:45,669 --> 01:30:43,440 and the sponsors 2324

like each dollar like a 2330 01:31:05,830 --> 01:31:01,920 dollar donation doesn't help a dollar 2331 01:31:07,189 --> 01:31:05,840 donation helps tremendously firstly 2332 01:31:09,110 -->

01:33:27,750 --> 01:33:26,239 richard dolan is a huge proponent of a 2390 01:33:30,550 --> 01:33:27,760 breakaway civilization which is 2391 01:33:32,070 --> 01:33:30,560 essentially a private entity 2392 01:33:33,750 --> 01:33:32,080 danger six says 2393 01:33:35,189 --> 01:33:33,760 have you considered that these beings 2394 01:33:36,470 --> 01:33:35,199 could be the solution to the fermi 2395 01:33:39,430 --> 01:33:36,480 paradox 2396 01:33:41,189 --> 01:33:39,440 no i know i haven't i don't like these 2397 01:33:43,270 --> 01:33:41,199 fermi paradoxes 2398 01:33:45,270 --> 01:33:43,280 or 2399 01:33:47,189 --> 01:33:45,280 drake equations and so on drawing 2400 01:33:49,350 --> 01:33:47,199 conclusions from them because there's so 2401 01:33:51,030 --> 01:33:49,360 many variables with so many unknowns 2402 01:33:53,669 --> 01:33:51,040 like so many well 2403 01:33:55,750 --> 01:33:53,679 so much uncertainty in so many variables 2404 01:33:57,510 --> 01:33:55,760 eric rogers take it easy doesn't mean 2405 01:33:59,590 --> 01:33:57,520 relaxing by the fireplace with hawking's 2406 01:34:01,110 --> 01:33:59,600 brief history of time 2407 01:34:02,629 --> 01:34:01,120 some of your followers may be curious as 2408 01:34:09,590 --> 01:34:02,639 to how you end up decompressing and 2409 01:34:12,709 --> 01:34:10,629 see 2410 01:34:15,110 --> 01:34:12,719 well 2411 01:34:16,709 -->

--> 01:34:51,120 would love to see a video dedicated to 2427 01:34:54,310 --> 01:34:52,719 how you research toes and your overall 2428 01:34:56,470 --> 01:34:54,320 process to researching theories of 2429 01:34:58,550 --> 01:34:56,480 everything i maybe one day it's not 2430 01:35:00,390 --> 01:34:58,560 terribly interesting essentially i look 2431 01:35:02,310 --> 01:35:00,400 up what other interviews the person has 2432 01:35:04,390 --> 01:35:02,320 done i look up the textbooks they've 2433 01:35:05,590 --> 01:35:04,400 written the popular books i've re i try 2434 01:35:06,390 --> 01:35:05,600 to read those 2435 01:35:11,669 --> 01:35:06,400 i 2436 01:35:13,590 --> 01:35:11,679 down 2437 01:35:16,070 --> 01:35:13,600 and i look up the papers if they're 2438 01:35:17,830 --> 01:35:16,080 academics and that's pretty much 2439 01:35:18,629 --> 01:35:17,840 it i don't think i'm leaving anything 2440 01:35:28,950 --> 01:35:18,639 out 2441 01:35:32,870 --> 01:35:30,709 lock cockburn says do you think that a 2442 01:35:36,070 --> 01:35:32,880 theory of everything has to be believed 2443 01:35:38,149 --> 01:35:36,080 to be valid or can it just be sufficient 2444 01:35:40,149 --> 01:35:38,159 enough for the person 2445 01:35:41,830 --> 01:35:40,159 psychologically and it doesn't need to 2446 01:35:42,790 --> 01:35:41,840 involve complicated physics or social 2447 01:35:46,229 --> 01:35:42,800 theory 2448 01:35:48,709 --> 01:35:46,239 i'm guessing i'm asking is it personal 2449 01:35:51,270 --> 01:35:48,719 and if so can it be valid 2450 01:35:52,790 --> 01:35:51,280 and if not how can it be validated well 2451 01:36:07,110 --> 01:35:52,800 if i'm interpreting your question 2452 01:36:11,189 --> 01:36:09,990 it may have to be lived in some sense so 2453 01:36:12,629 --> 01:36:11,199 look we think of the theory of 2454 01:36:13,910 --> 01:36:12,639 everything as being some statement that 2455 01:36:16,149 --> 01:36:13,920 is either true and or is true 2456 01:36:18,070 --> 01:36:16,159 independent of humans and it may be it 2457 01:36:19,990 --> 01:36:18,080 may be more of a process than a like 2458 01:36:22,149 --> 01:36:20,000 it's all huge speculation it may be a 2459 01:36:25,030 --> 01:36:22,159 process rather than a fact what i mean 2460 01:36:27,350 --> 01:36:25,040 by that is some people think that 2461 01:36:28,709 --> 01:36:27,360 wouldn't it be boring to find a theory 2462 01:36:30,629 --> 01:36:28,719 of everything wouldn't your channel be 2463 01:36:33,430 --> 01:36:30,639 done if you found the toe 2464 01:36:35,590 --> 01:36:33,440 well firstly like you man it's a hubris 2465 01:36:36,709 --> 01:36:35,600 of me thinking that we can we can come 2466 01:36:39,030 --> 01:36:36,719 close to finding 2467 01:36:40,709 --> 01:36:39,040 the actual toe but i'm still trying to 2468 01:36:43,350 --> 01:36:40,719 push the ball forward regardless but 2469 01:36:45,750 --> 01:36:43,360 let's imagine that there is an end 2470 01:36:47,750 --> 01:36:45,760 point it may not be a fact 2471 01:36:49,910 --> 01:36:47,760 it may be a process something like live 2472 01:36:52,149 --> 01:36:49,920 honorably or love people or act 2473 01:36:54,229 --> 01:36:52,159 sincerely and truthfully and if it's 2474 01:36:55,189 --> 01:36:54,239 that well then 2475 01:36:58,470 --> 01:36:55,199 time 2476 01:37:00,070 --> 01:36:58,480 steps forward progressively and so 2477 01:37:02,149 --> 01:37:00,080 that's something that we can always do 2478 01:37:07,510 --> 01:37:02,159 and it will always be with us 2479 01:37:10,709 --> 01:37:08,629 it may be 2480 01:37:12,790 --> 01:37:10,719 a fact like that this depends on if 2481 01:37:14,950 --> 01:37:12,800 productionism is correct but it may be 2482 01:37:16,390 --> 01:37:14,960 that all of physics comes from something 2483 01:37:18,310 --> 01:37:16,400 like that i don't know what that could 2484 01:37:21,669 --> 01:37:18,320 possibly mean i'm 2485 01:37:23,990 --> 01:37:21,679 just this is all suppositious 2486 01:37:25,990 --> 01:37:24,000 but it could be that the ultimate law is 2487 01:37:27,750 --> 01:37:26,000 a process 2488 01:37:29,189 --> 01:37:27,760 now there is some reason to think so at 2489 01:37:31,750 --> 01:37:29,199 least biblically 2490 01:37:32,550 --> 01:37:31,760 religiously god has been described as i 2491 01:37:38,790 --> 01:37:32,560 am 2492 01:37:41,350 --> 01:37:38,800 and god is synonymous with reality in 2493 01:37:43,830 --> 01:37:41,360 many respects 2494 01:37:46,310 --> 01:37:43,840 so it's not so far off it's not so out 2495 01:37:49,830 --> 01:37:47,590 what if the ultimate answer was be 2496 01:37:52,070 --> 01:37:49,840 loving and bring joy to others 2497 01:37:56,550 --> 01:37:52,080 that's a process 2498 01:37:59,590 --> 01:37:57,510 jim 2499 01:38:02,629 --> 01:37:59,600 allen wants to know about why didn't i 2500 01:38:04,950 --> 01:38:02,639 like rupert spyro's king lear analogy 2501 01:38:06,950 --> 01:38:04,960 i've he says i've always found this to 2502 01:38:08,870 --> 01:38:06,960 be a useful analogy so i want to know 2503 01:38:10,629 --> 01:38:08,880 what you find problematic about it so i 2504 01:38:12,790 --> 01:38:10,639 don't recall exactly 2505 01:38:14,229 --> 01:38:12,800 what it is that i disliked about it if i 2506 01:38:17,109 --> 01:38:14,239 remember it correctly it was something 2507 01:38:22,550 --> 01:38:17,119 like rupert spiral was saying that 2508 01:38:27,270 --> 01:38:24,470 some i the actor forgets their former 2509 01:38:28,950 --> 01:38:27,280 identity and is and assumes the role 2510 01:38:30,629 --> 01:38:28,960 that's called method acting technically 2511 01:38:33,030 --> 01:38:30,639 so it's like we method acted our way 2512 01:38:35,430 --> 01:38:33,040 here however there's an element of 2513 01:38:37,510 --> 01:38:35,440 repetition and conscious effort for the 2514 01:38:38,629 --> 01:38:37,520 method actor one is conscious at first 2515 01:38:41,350 --> 01:38:38,639 that they're not king lear and then 2516 01:38:43,750 --> 01:38:41,360 assumes king lear's identity 2517 01:38:46,229 --> 01:38:43,760 and that doesn't seem to comport with 2518 01:38:48,149 --> 01:38:46,239 what rupert is saying in other respects 2519 01:38:49,990 --> 01:38:48,159 that is unlike with king lear one has a 2520 01:38:51,430 --> 01:38:50,000 prior conception prior to hitting the 2521 01:38:54,149 --> 01:38:51,440 stage 2522 01:38:55,830 --> 01:38:54,159 doug tar nepal must there be a theory of 2523 01:38:57,030 --> 01:38:55,840 everything i'm not so sure 2524 01:38:58,709 --> 01:38:57,040 well there mustn't there doesn't 2525 01:39:00,390 --> 01:38:58,719 necessarily have to be it seems like 2526 01:39:02,870 --> 01:39:00,400 there are regularities as far as we can 2527 01:39:04,310 --> 01:39:02,880 tell we call them the laws of physics 2528 01:39:06,870 --> 01:39:04,320 they describe the universe more and more 2529 01:39:09,910 --> 01:39:06,880 and more with each passing decade and 2530 01:39:12,629 --> 01:39:09,920 it's unclear if it approaches some limit 2531 01:39:14,950 --> 01:39:12,639 david ortega says 2532 01:39:16,470 --> 01:39:14,960 when you say comparing any two items 2533 01:39:18,149 --> 01:39:16,480 there's manifold ways in which they're 2534 01:39:20,390 --> 01:39:18,159 similar and dissimilar can you better 2535 01:39:22,470 --> 01:39:20,400 explain that i really like the podcast 2536 01:39:24,950 --> 01:39:22,480 thank you david what i mean is that you 2537 01:39:27,109 --> 01:39:24,960 can endlessly enumerate the properties 2538 01:39:28,870 --> 01:39:27,119 of let's say this cup and you can also 2539 01:39:30,149 --> 01:39:28,880 create new properties so what's the 2540 01:39:31,830 --> 01:39:30,159 difference between this cup and another 2541 01:39:33,669 --> 01:39:31,840 cup that's on my table well they have 2542 01:39:35,590 --> 01:39:33,679 different volumes but they have the same 2543 01:39:37,109 --> 01:39:35,600 color they were both drank from by 2544 01:39:38,629 --> 01:39:37,119 so-and-so 2545 01:39:40,149 --> 01:39:38,639 person so that's a commonality but they 2546 01:39:41,270 --> 01:39:40,159 did not touch the mouth of so and so 2547 01:39:42,950 --> 01:39:41,280 other person 2548 01:39:44,629 --> 01:39:42,960 they were made within one year of one 2549 01:39:46,229 --> 01:39:44,639 another that's a commonality it's also a 2550 01:39:48,149 --> 01:39:46,239 difference if you want to get more 2551 01:39:51,350 --> 01:39:48,159 refined and say one was made on october 2552 01:39:52,790 --> 01:39:51,360 27th and another was made on august 3rd 2553 01:39:54,629 --> 01:39:52,800 you can keep 2554 01:39:56,390 --> 01:39:54,639 listing properties and find similarities 2555 01:39:58,470 --> 01:39:56,400 and dissimilarities that's another 2556 01:40:01,590 --> 01:39:58,480 reason why any political discourse for 2557 01:40:03,430 --> 01:40:01,600 me is so vastly complicated because most 2558 01:40:04,709 --> 01:40:03,440 of the time people will say look at 2559 01:40:06,629 --> 01:40:04,719 what's happened in the past and that's 2560 01:40:08,390 --> 01:40:06,639 what's going to happen in the future so 2561 01:40:11,830 --> 01:40:08,400 let's say look at what's happened 2562 01:40:15,350 --> 01:40:11,840 under capitalistic germany or fascist 2563 01:40:17,510 --> 01:40:15,360 germany or communist china and so on or 2564 01:40:18,709 --> 01:40:17,520 communist russia and so on 2565 01:40:20,790 --> 01:40:18,719 firstly then you would have to say 2566 01:40:22,950 --> 01:40:20,800 whether or not it is capitalism or it is 2567 01:40:24,790 --> 01:40:22,960 socialism and there are many properties 2568 01:40:26,310 --> 01:40:24,800 there it's not as if 2569 01:40:28,550 --> 01:40:26,320 there's agreement on what constitutes 2570 01:40:30,470 --> 01:40:28,560 capitalism and socialism and so on or 2571 01:40:33,030 --> 01:40:30,480 which countries obey socialism or which 2572 01:40:35,189 --> 01:40:33,040 countries obey capitalism then you can 2573 01:40:37,510 --> 01:40:35,199 always say that yes 2574 01:40:39,590 --> 01:40:37,520 socialism of the past or a country that 2575 01:40:41,270 --> 01:40:39,600 promo country that held the banner of 2576 01:40:44,229 --> 01:40:41,280 socialism 2577 01:40:46,709 --> 01:40:44,239 had so and so disastrous outcome but 2578 01:40:48,149 --> 01:40:46,719 it doesn't apply to now because of these 2579 01:40:49,669 --> 01:40:48,159 properties that are different there are 2580 01:40:51,430 --> 01:40:49,679 always properties that are different and 2581 01:40:53,350 --> 01:40:51,440 properties that are the same so one can 2582 01:40:55,910 --> 01:40:53,360 always make the case that the past 2583 01:40:57,910 --> 01:40:55,920 doesn't apply to the future or does 2584 01:40:59,669 --> 01:40:57,920 these are such complicated issues 2585 01:41:02,310 --> 01:40:59,679 people want to say that it's all 2586 01:41:03,189 --> 01:41:02,320 one side is correct over another i tend 2587 01:41:04,870 --> 01:41:03,199 to 2588 01:41:07,350 --> 01:41:04,880 believe in this 2589 01:41:08,950 --> 01:41:07,360 quote by arthur cain 2590 01:41:11,350 --> 01:41:08,960 who said 2591 01:41:13,109 --> 01:41:11,360 only the shallowests of mine believe 2592 01:41:14,709 --> 01:41:13,119 only the shallowest of minds believe 2593 01:41:17,430 --> 01:41:14,719 that in great controversy one side is 2594 01:41:19,750 --> 01:41:17,440 mere folly okay so matthew kappazoli 2595 01:41:20,950 --> 01:41:19,760 says i do a show about theoretical 2596 01:41:22,470 --> 01:41:20,960 physics exploring free will 2597 01:41:24,550 --> 01:41:22,480 consciousness and the journey to the 2598 01:41:26,070 --> 01:41:24,560 theory of everything firstly matthew my 2599 01:41:28,709 --> 01:41:26,080 lawyers are going to contact you 2600 01:41:30,790 --> 01:41:28,719 secondly given your unparalleled career 2601 01:41:32,629 --> 01:41:30,800 at the forefront of modern academia i'm 2602 01:41:35,270 --> 01:41:32,639 not at the forefront nor am i in modern 2603 01:41:36,950 --> 01:41:35,280 academia and scholarship albeit mainly 2604 01:41:39,590 --> 01:41:36,960 in tangential fields what are some 2605 01:41:42,950 --> 01:41:41,189 you may think are helpful for anyone 2606 01:41:44,149 --> 01:41:42,960 researching these topics i would say 2607 01:41:45,669 --> 01:41:44,159 don't reiterate what you've heard and 2608 01:41:46,950 --> 01:41:45,679 pretend to know it like i mentioned 2609 01:41:49,270 --> 01:41:46,960 you'll hear invective against string 2610 01:41:51,990 --> 01:41:49,280 theory being unfalsifiable affirmed 2611 01:41:53,109 --> 01:41:52,000 merely by mathematical beauty but you 2612 01:41:55,189 --> 01:41:53,119 don't know that 2613 01:41:56,870 --> 01:41:55,199 it takes years to understand what that 2614 01:41:58,709 --> 01:41:56,880 means 2615 01:42:01,030 --> 01:41:58,719 do you know the polyakov action so 2616 01:42:03,189 --> 01:42:01,040 that's a fundamental equation in string 2617 01:42:05,109 --> 01:42:03,199 theory you don't even know that or so 2618 01:42:06,149 --> 01:42:05,119 not you as i mean one doesn't even know 2619 01:42:07,830 --> 01:42:06,159 that 2620 01:42:10,470 --> 01:42:07,840 i'm not trying to accuse you of anything 2621 01:42:12,550 --> 01:42:10,480 matthew in other words stop 2622 01:42:14,790 --> 01:42:12,560 intellectually posturing it's a form of 2623 01:42:17,910 --> 01:42:14,800 lying stop lying see how far you'll get 2624 01:42:19,109 --> 01:42:17,920 that's my advice matthew 2625 01:42:21,590 --> 01:42:19,119 monkey 2626 01:42:23,750 --> 01:42:21,600 hq says i wish i was here my wish is 2627 01:42:25,350 --> 01:42:23,760 when you make a q a the first question 2628 01:42:27,109 --> 01:42:25,360 asked to you will be 2629 01:42:28,550 --> 01:42:27,119 how did this channel emerge with such 2630 01:42:31,910 --> 01:42:28,560 quality 2631 01:42:34,149 --> 01:42:31,920 that it redefined standards of youtubers 2632 01:42:35,109 --> 01:42:34,159 to show the full potential of youtube 2633 01:42:36,229 --> 01:42:35,119 now 2634 01:42:37,270 --> 01:42:36,239 there's a 2635 01:42:39,590 --> 01:42:37,280 wonderfully 2636 01:42:41,109 --> 01:42:39,600 complimentary question 2637 01:42:43,030 --> 01:42:41,119 it didn't start off firstly it doesn't 2638 01:42:45,350 --> 01:42:43,040 redefine anything secondly it didn't 2639 01:42:46,950 --> 01:42:45,360 start off with quality it started off 2640 01:42:49,189 --> 01:42:46,960 with better left unsaids interviews that 2641 01:42:51,350 --> 01:42:49,199 i just posted from my documentary those 2642 01:42:53,669 --> 01:42:51,360 were horrible horrible horrible me 2643 01:42:55,350 --> 01:42:53,679 interjecting constantly trying to be a 2644 01:42:58,229 --> 01:42:55,360 thought leader of some sort if i'm being 2645 01:42:59,590 --> 01:42:58,239 honest egotism insincerity and 2646 01:43:01,990 --> 01:42:59,600 insecurity 2647 01:43:03,430 --> 01:43:02,000 is how the channel started off 2648 01:43:04,870 --> 01:43:03,440 and that's a quality that's only been 2649 01:43:06,070 --> 01:43:04,880 tempered 2650 01:43:08,709 --> 01:43:06,080 rather than 2651 01:43:10,629 --> 01:43:08,719 expirated chris smith says 2652 01:43:11,990 --> 01:43:10,639 question for you kurt 2653 01:43:13,590 --> 01:43:12,000 when you ask yourself a question how do 2654 01:43:14,870 --> 01:43:13,600 you know when you found the answer when 2655 01:43:16,390 --> 01:43:14,880 are you satisfied enough to stop 2656 01:43:17,510 --> 01:43:16,400 searching well firstly you don't know 2657 01:43:19,109 --> 01:43:17,520 when you found the answer you know when 2658 01:43:21,750 --> 01:43:19,119 you think you found the answer and 2659 01:43:22,790 --> 01:43:21,760 that's different it's like 2660 01:43:24,310 --> 01:43:22,800 it's 2661 01:43:26,310 --> 01:43:24,320 almost every fact is like a mystery 2662 01:43:27,990 --> 01:43:26,320 novel and we've seen like the thomas 2663 01:43:29,990 --> 01:43:28,000 kuhn has a whole book on this paradigms 2664 01:43:32,070 --> 01:43:30,000 keep changing recontextualizing what we 2665 01:43:33,830 --> 01:43:32,080 think of as true and so on one of the 2666 01:43:35,350 --> 01:43:33,840 reasons that 2667 01:43:37,430 --> 01:43:35,360 mystery novels are fascinating is 2668 01:43:39,510 --> 01:43:37,440 they're expressing this fact to us that 2669 01:43:41,350 --> 01:43:39,520 we think we know and then we don't know 2670 01:43:43,189 --> 01:43:41,360 so for example you think you found the 2671 01:43:45,270 --> 01:43:43,199 murder weapon 2672 01:43:47,270 --> 01:43:45,280 and it turns so you think you found the 2673 01:43:49,750 --> 01:43:47,280 gun it's a murder weapon turns out it's 2674 01:43:51,430 --> 01:43:49,760 a prop in a play okay it turns out then 2675 01:43:55,030 --> 01:43:51,440 that the person didn't end up dying from 2676 01:43:56,870 --> 01:43:55,040 a gunshot they ended up dying from a 2677 01:43:58,390 --> 01:43:56,880 from a knife wound and then you find out 2678 01:43:59,750 --> 01:43:58,400 oh actually what we thought was a knife 2679 01:44:01,669 --> 01:43:59,760 wound was 2680 01:44:03,189 --> 01:44:01,679 not inflicted by someone else the killer 2681 01:44:04,629 --> 01:44:03,199 was the person it was suicide and then 2682 01:44:06,390 --> 01:44:04,639 you realize oh the person wasn't dead at 2683 01:44:07,270 --> 01:44:06,400 all they faked it this happens over and 2684 01:44:09,109 --> 01:44:07,280 over 2685 01:44:11,350 --> 01:44:09,119 i have a word for this well it's not my 2686 01:44:13,030 --> 01:44:11,360 word but it's a word that i 2687 01:44:16,390 --> 01:44:13,040 use it's called enthymeme so 2688 01:44:19,350 --> 01:44:18,229 and those are conclusions that we've 2689 01:44:21,590 --> 01:44:19,360 drawn where 2690 01:44:24,149 --> 01:44:21,600 the premises or some of them are 2691 01:44:27,270 --> 01:44:24,159 unstated and almost every single fact is 2692 01:44:28,870 --> 01:44:27,280 like that there are an incessant 2693 01:44:30,629 --> 01:44:28,880 proliferation of 2694 01:44:32,149 --> 01:44:30,639 assumptions that go into 2695 01:44:35,990 --> 01:44:32,159 almost any conclusion and we don't 2696 01:44:40,870 --> 01:44:38,790 and they're so so subtle 2697 01:44:42,790 --> 01:44:40,880 okay getting back to the chat there are 2698 01:44:44,149 --> 01:44:42,800 quite a few questions here 2699 01:44:46,870 --> 01:44:44,159 kurt what do i think of nietzsche i 2700 01:44:48,870 --> 01:44:46,880 don't know nietzsche's was contradictory 2701 01:44:50,950 --> 01:44:48,880 and you don't have 2702 01:44:52,470 --> 01:44:50,960 nietzsche 2703 01:44:53,830 --> 01:44:52,480 alive to ask him this i don't 2704 01:44:55,109 --> 01:44:53,840 particularly like when people make 2705 01:44:57,109 --> 01:44:55,119 appeal to 2706 01:44:58,550 --> 01:44:57,119 dead philosophers for example with 2707 01:45:00,310 --> 01:44:58,560 einstein people say look einstein said 2708 01:45:03,030 --> 01:45:00,320 the block universe time is illusory 2709 01:45:05,030 --> 01:45:03,040 firstly einstein said that once in a 2710 01:45:06,470 --> 01:45:05,040 letter to console a friend it wasn't a 2711 01:45:09,030 --> 01:45:06,480 physics letter 2712 01:45:11,189 --> 01:45:09,040 and einstein was someone who changed his 2713 01:45:12,629 --> 01:45:11,199 mind many times in his life you can't 2714 01:45:14,870 --> 01:45:12,639 ask him what did you mean by that do you 2715 01:45:17,030 --> 01:45:14,880 mean illusory in which sense there are 2716 01:45:18,790 --> 01:45:17,040 many senses of the word aphan m says 2717 01:45:20,550 --> 01:45:18,800 sorry for such a bland question but i'm 2718 01:45:22,229 --> 01:45:20,560 wondering what are your thoughts at this 2719 01:45:24,550 --> 01:45:22,239 point about the mind-body consciousness 2720 01:45:26,870 --> 01:45:24,560 problem so that's not a bland question 2721 01:45:27,910 --> 01:45:26,880 there's a whole field like 2722 01:45:28,870 --> 01:45:27,920 many 2723 01:45:31,270 --> 01:45:28,880 papers 2724 01:45:32,229 --> 01:45:31,280 and fields of science are the cognitive 2725 01:45:34,470 --> 01:45:32,239 signs are 2726 01:45:40,149 --> 01:45:34,480 predicated on that question i don't know 2727 01:45:43,350 --> 01:45:41,830 john griffin 2728 01:45:44,950 --> 01:45:43,360 do you worry that your decision to 2729 01:45:46,149 --> 01:45:44,960 provide a platform for unorthodox 2730 01:45:47,750 --> 01:45:46,159 subject matter could have a negative 2731 01:45:48,950 --> 01:45:47,760 impact on a vulnerable uncritical 2732 01:45:51,350 --> 01:45:48,960 audience 2733 01:45:54,149 --> 01:45:51,360 that can be said about so much 2734 01:45:54,870 --> 01:45:54,159 and yes i worry about it but not much 2735 01:45:56,790 --> 01:45:54,880 i 2736 01:45:59,910 --> 01:45:56,800 worry more about 2737 01:46:03,910 --> 01:46:01,990 following my intuition and exposing 2738 01:46:04,629 --> 01:46:03,920 people to ideas that they thought 2739 01:46:08,229 --> 01:46:04,639 were 2740 01:46:10,070 --> 01:46:08,239 asinine let's say or imbecilic 2741 01:46:11,590 --> 01:46:10,080 would do to the world there's so much 2742 01:46:14,149 --> 01:46:11,600 almost all the facts that we think of 2743 01:46:15,910 --> 01:46:14,159 now were unorthodox 2744 01:46:17,669 --> 01:46:15,920 that someone would have said 2745 01:46:19,590 --> 01:46:17,679 have a negative impact on a vulnerable 2746 01:46:23,990 --> 01:46:19,600 uncritical audience almost every single 2747 01:46:28,709 --> 01:46:26,390 riat seal says love the sincerity 2748 01:46:30,070 --> 01:46:28,719 imbibed in your work kurt definition 2749 01:46:32,629 --> 01:46:30,080 rudely brief 2750

or at 2753 01:46:43,510 --> 01:46:37,920 least his people are 2754 01:46:46,790 --> 01:46:44,470 well 2755 01:46:48,470 --> 01:46:46,800 he says please also investigate e8 i 2756 01:46:50,149 --> 01:46:48,480 will i'll talk to 2757 01:46:52,830 --> 01:46:50,159 garrett lisi 2758 01:46:55,270 --> 01:46:52,840 and clee irwin in 2759 01:46:56,950 --> 01:46:55,280 2022 leon wants to know what do i think 2760 01:46:58,550 --> 01:46:56,960 of the buddhist view of the universe i'm 2761 01:47:01,030 --> 01:46:58,560 going to be exploring eastern traditions 2762 01:47:03,270 --> 01:47:01,040 more in 2022 2763 01:47:05,350 --> 01:47:03,280 alexander stone have i spoken with or 2764 01:47:07,350 --> 01:47:05,360 researched richard dodie i think i 2765 01:47:09,109 --> 01:47:07,360 researched him quite some time ago 2766 01:47:13,030 --> 01:47:09,119 briefly when i was preparing for the 2767 01:47:13,910 --> 01:47:13,040 jeremy corbell interview the first one 2768 01:47:17,350 --> 01:47:13,920 but 2769 01:47:19,109 --> 01:47:17,360 i i don't remember much about him 2770 01:47:20,830 --> 01:47:19,119 bastian ray says are you a mystical or a 2771 01:47:23,030 --> 01:47:20,840 physicalist i think he 2772 01:47:24,950 --> 01:47:23,040 means i think he means idealist or 2773 01:47:27,430 --> 01:47:24,960 physicalist i think sometimes your 2774 01:47:29,350 --> 01:47:27,440 contents slash guests are contradictory 2775 01:47:31,189 --> 01:47:29,360 and extremely confusing like having 2776 01:47:32,709 --> 01:47:31,199 sabine hosenfelder 2777 01:47:35,109 --> 01:47:32,719 and thomas campbell with totally 2778 01:47:36,870 --> 01:47:35,119 opposite views i think 2779 01:47:39,270 --> 01:47:36,880 most of these contents are more 2780 01:47:41,030 --> 01:47:39,280 confusing with so many opposing concepts 2781 01:47:42,870 --> 01:47:41,040 over and over that it seems like the 2782 01:47:44,229 --> 01:47:42,880 tower of babel 2783 01:47:46,310 --> 01:47:44,239 um 2784 01:47:48,870 --> 01:47:46,320 right well my question is why would you 2785 01:47:50,709 --> 01:47:48,880 want just one type of viewpoint you can 2786 01:47:52,229 --> 01:47:50,719 have that just read one source i don't 2787 01:47:54,229 --> 01:47:52,239 know how one would 2788 01:47:55,430 --> 01:47:54,239 how would one determine which view is 2789 01:47:58,149 --> 01:47:55,440 correct without exploring the 2790 01:48:02,790 --> 01:48:00,870 it would be like it like more extremely 2791 01:48:05,430 --> 01:48:02,800 mundane example is as if you've only 2792 01:48:07,510 --> 01:48:05,440 eaten cherries and you think that's the 2793 01:48:09,030 --> 01:48:07,520 best not only fruit but food 2794 01:48:10,870 --> 01:48:09,040 there's a contradiction between cherries 2795 01:48:12,470 --> 01:48:10,880 and apples and 2796 01:48:13,669 --> 01:48:12,480 hamburgers and macaroni and cheese so 2797 01:48:15,510 --> 01:48:13,679 why are you exploring macaroni and 2798 01:48:17,270 --> 01:48:15,520 cheese and cherries well 2799 01:48:18,709 --> 01:48:17,280 i'm interested in food perhaps they're 2800 01:48:20,550 --> 01:48:18,719 not opposite perhaps they're combined in 2801 01:48:21,990 --> 01:48:20,560 some manner perhaps 2802 01:48:24,390 --> 01:48:22,000 you can't compare them in the same way 2803 01:48:25,750 --> 01:48:24,400 that you can compare numbers 2804 01:48:27,669 --> 01:48:25,760 they're okay just so you know in 2805 01:48:29,109 --> 01:48:27,679 mathematics not everything is comparable 2806 01:48:30,550 --> 01:48:29,119 there's a whole there's partially 2807 01:48:32,310 --> 01:48:30,560 ordered sets it's something you learn in 2808 01:48:33,910 --> 01:48:32,320 first year mathematics a partially 2809 01:48:35,910 --> 01:48:33,920 ordered set can't always compare two 2810 01:48:37,990 --> 01:48:35,920 elements of a set 2811 01:48:39,350 --> 01:48:38,000 you have to define an order i understand 2812 01:48:41,910 --> 01:48:39,360 that it's difficult to follow some of 2813 01:48:44,149 --> 01:48:41,920 the podcasts because of the wide ranging 2814 01:48:46,390 --> 01:48:44,159 views but that just means that one needs 2815 01:48:48,629 --> 01:48:46,400 to put some more effort into it rather 2816 01:48:50,790 --> 01:48:48,639 than it being a conceptual flaw 2817 01:48:53,109 --> 01:48:50,800 the channel assumes a level of 2818 01:48:55,109 --> 01:48:53,119 high effort and trust on those people 2819 01:48:56,709 --> 01:48:55,119 watching 2820 01:48:58,310 --> 01:48:56,719 sicily says if you had the chance to 2821 01:49:01,430 --> 01:48:58,320 make a closer to truth interview with 2822 01:49:03,350 --> 01:49:01,440 great thinkers or scientists of the past 2823 01:49:04,709 --> 01:49:03,360 who have already passed away who would 2824 01:49:07,750 --> 01:49:04,719 you pick 2825 01:49:11,510 --> 01:49:09,270 raymond smallian 2826 01:49:15,270 --> 01:49:11,520 and 2827 01:49:16,070 --> 01:49:15,280 someone i don't know i never researched 2828 01:49:17,510 --> 01:49:16,080 but 2829 01:49:20,709 --> 01:49:17,520 people keep saying i should research 2830 01:49:22,070 --> 01:49:20,719 ramada maharshi is someone that i would 2831 01:49:23,830 --> 01:49:22,080 interview but i don't know so that's 2832 01:49:25,669 --> 01:49:23,840 just that's just a guess on my part 2833 01:49:28,070 --> 01:49:25,679 hillary putnam raymond smallian and 2834 01:49:32,390 --> 01:49:28,080 romana 2835 01:49:34,950 --> 01:49:33,270 okay 2836 01:49:36,870 --> 01:49:34,960 well i'll do a couple more chat 2837 01:49:38,950 --> 01:49:36,880 questions and then i should get going 2838 01:49:43,030 --> 01:49:38,960 kurt iphone or android android android 2839 01:49:47,270 --> 01:49:44,470 samuel 2840 01:49:49,590 --> 01:49:47,280 lorenzo says what do you think of 2841 01:49:52,390 --> 01:49:49,600 bach's statement that only a simulation 2842 01:49:53,750 --> 01:49:52,400 can be conscious see i don't 2843 01:49:55,030 --> 01:49:53,760 he's saying yeah 2844 01:49:56,709 --> 01:49:55,040 samuel is saying i don't understand that 2845 01:49:58,870 --> 01:49:56,719 consciousness arises from feedback loops 2846 01:50:00,390 --> 01:49:58,880 and self-representation i don't either 2847 01:50:01,590 --> 01:50:00,400 and i also see that as 2848 01:50:03,590 --> 01:50:01,600 self-consciousness rather than 2849 01:50:06,870 --> 01:50:03,600 consciousness per se so douglas 2850 01:50:08,550 --> 01:50:06,880 hofster's book is more to me 2851 01:50:10,390 --> 01:50:08,560 a book about self-consciousness rather 2852 01:50:12,629 --> 01:50:10,400 than consciousness but 2853 01:50:14,709 --> 01:50:12,639 obviously hofstetter and bach are 2854 01:50:16,149 --> 01:50:14,719 extremely extremely bright people and so 2855 01:50:20,149 --> 01:50:16,159 that means to me that i'm not 2856 01:50:24,390 --> 01:50:22,870 i just we ag says have i tried to speak 2857 01:50:26,149 --> 01:50:24,400 to the highly overrated 2858 01:50:28,470 --> 01:50:26,159 jordan peterson i wouldn't say he's 2859 01:50:29,910 --> 01:50:28,480 overrated in the least i mean it depends 2860 01:50:33,350 --> 01:50:29,920 on which camp in many ways he's 2861 01:50:35,109 --> 01:50:33,360 underrated by a certain subset of people 2862 01:50:37,109 --> 01:50:35,119 overrated by some yeah but i wouldn't 2863 01:50:39,430 --> 01:50:37,119 say as a whole he's overrated 2864 01:50:40,790 --> 01:50:39,440 and i will speak to him 2865 01:50:42,310 --> 01:50:40,800 at some point 2866 01:50:43,830 --> 01:50:42,320 what make or model is the chair that i'm 2867

podcasts 2912 01:52:34,790 --> 01:52:33,589 james spice what's your take on on 2913 01:52:35,669 --> 01:52:34,800 sasquatch 2914 01:52:37,750 --> 01:52:35,679 um 2915 01:52:39,350 --> 01:52:37,760 i don't think it's out of the realm of 2916 01:52:41,430 --> 01:52:39,360 possibilities that it's an actual 2917 01:52:43,350 --> 01:52:41,440 creature jane goodall who's a 2918 01:52:45,350 --> 01:52:43,360 primatologist thinks that may be the 2919 01:52:48,790 --> 01:52:45,360 case and that perhaps sasquatch should 2920 01:52:50,550 --> 01:52:48,800 be considered a protected species 2921 01:52:52,149 --> 01:52:50,560 steven stergle so i don't understand 2922 01:52:53,510 --> 01:52:52,159 your question if you say that i reversed 2923 01:52:57,830 --> 01:52:53,520 it 2924 01:52:59,109 --> 01:52:57,840 differently please grebelis investors 2925 01:53:00,550 --> 01:52:59,119 gerbilis 2926 01:53:03,430 --> 01:53:00,560 if i'm pronouncing that correctly says 2927 01:53:06,229 --> 01:53:03,440 is solipsism a common trap dead end 2928 01:53:07,990 --> 01:53:06,239 hmm i think that if you're a solopsist 2929 01:53:09,910 --> 01:53:08,000 then you shouldn't believe that your 2930 01:53:11,910 --> 01:53:09,920 consciousness ends when you die 2931 01:53:13,430 --> 01:53:11,920 and the reason is that you have no 2932 01:53:14,310 --> 01:53:13,440 evidence of other conscious beings 2933 01:53:15,430 --> 01:53:14,320 ending 2934 01:53:17,189 --> 01:53:15,440 because if you think you're the only 2935 01:53:19,189 --> 01:53:17,199 conscious being then anything that you 2936 01:53:20,629 --> 01:53:19,199 see that potentially dies quote unquote 2937 01:53:22,070 --> 01:53:20,639 didn't die they had no consciousness to 2938 01:53:24,390 --> 01:53:22,080 begin with you have no evidence that 2939 01:53:26,149 --> 01:53:24,400 your consciousness ceases so i'd say 2940 01:53:27,990 --> 01:53:26,159 it's strange to me that a solipsist 2941 01:53:29,589 --> 01:53:28,000 would ever say that consciousness ends 2942 01:53:31,669 --> 01:53:29,599 when the physical body dies they have 2943 01:53:33,350 --> 01:53:31,679 zero evidence of it jack burden what 2944 01:53:35,510 --> 01:53:33,360 video game am i most looking forward to 2945 01:53:37,990 --> 01:53:35,520 now these are the real questions man 2946 01:53:39,350 --> 01:53:38,000 i'm looking forward to 2947 01:53:41,030 --> 01:53:39,360 eldon ring 2948 01:53:42,870 --> 01:53:41,040 though the graphics on that are horrible 2949 01:53:44,550 --> 01:53:42,880 and no one on the elden ring subreddit 2950 01:53:47,430 --> 01:53:44,560 wants to say that they start criticizing 2951 01:53:48,870 --> 01:53:47,440 anyone who says that 2952 01:53:50,790 --> 01:53:48,880 and they'll say people don't play games 2953 01:53:52,870 --> 01:53:50,800 for graphics firstly bloodborne was 2954 01:53:54,870 --> 01:53:52,880 wonderful for me partially because of 2955 01:53:55,830 --> 01:53:54,880 the graphics oh my gosh when that came 2956 01:53:57,910 --> 01:53:55,840 out that is 2957 01:53:59,030 --> 01:53:57,920 beautiful graphics bloodborne and that 2958 01:54:01,750 --> 01:53:59,040 increased the 2959 01:54:03,910 --> 01:54:01,760 my experience of it so when people say 2960 01:54:05,910 --> 01:54:03,920 that graphics don't matter well then you 2961 01:54:07,270 --> 01:54:05,920 play on a computer that has the ability 2962 01:54:09,510 --> 01:54:07,280 to increase the graphics and 2963 01:54:12,070 --> 01:54:09,520 purposefully downgrade the graphics 2964 01:54:13,830 --> 01:54:12,080 and don't have the concomitant fps boost 2965 01:54:15,669 --> 01:54:13,840 and see do you like that no you actually 2966 01:54:17,189 --> 01:54:15,679 prefer the graphics to be as great as 2967 01:54:18,709 --> 01:54:17,199 they can be 2968 01:54:20,870 --> 01:54:18,719 okay so alvin ring either way no matter 2969 01:54:22,229 --> 01:54:20,880 what yes the gameplay matters most and 2970 01:54:23,990 --> 01:54:22,239 i'm very much looking forward to that 2971 01:54:25,830 --> 01:54:24,000 regardless of how it looks i trust from 2972 01:54:27,910 --> 01:54:25,840 software 2973 01:54:30,950 --> 01:54:27,920 i wish that they would remake or 2974 01:54:33,910 --> 01:54:30,960 remaster red dead or released gt6 that i 2975 01:54:35,510 --> 01:54:33,920 would very much be looking forward to 2976 01:54:37,669 --> 01:54:35,520 the genres of video games i like open 2977 01:54:40,149 --> 01:54:37,679 world games and 2978 01:54:44,229 --> 01:54:40,159 i love fallout games 2979 01:54:49,830 --> 01:54:48,390 no i don't like vr i've tried it 2980 01:54:52,550 --> 01:54:49,840 and jonathan blow says that right now 2981 01:54:55,990 --> 01:54:52,560 it's a gimmick i tend to agree 2982 01:54:58,229 --> 01:54:56,000 pg is asking have i considered esoteric 2983 01:54:59,430 --> 01:54:58,239 topics like mediumship 2984 01:55:01,510 --> 01:54:59,440 i don't know what that i've never heard 2985 01:55:02,790 --> 01:55:01,520 of that so i haven't considered it i am 2986 01:55:06,229 --> 01:55:02,800 going to be 2987 01:55:08,390 --> 01:55:06,239 interviewing dean raiden at some point 2988 01:55:10,149 --> 01:55:08,400 yeah magic turtle interview you asked me 2989 01:55:12,149 --> 01:55:10,159 should i interview annika harris i've 2990 01:55:13,430 --> 01:55:12,159 reached out to annika harris haven't 2991 01:55:15,189 --> 01:55:13,440 heard a reply 2992 01:55:16,310 --> 01:55:15,199 and i believe i've done so more than 2993 01:55:18,070 --> 01:55:16,320 once 2994 01:55:19,910 --> 01:55:18,080 there were also a couple questions asked 2995 01:55:21,189 --> 01:55:19,920 afterward on twitter and i'll answer 2996 01:55:22,390 --> 01:55:21,199 them now 2997 01:55:26,950 --> 01:55:22,400 fakery 2998 01:55:29,430 --> 01:55:26,960 says do you feel art theory improves 2999 01:55:32,229 --> 01:55:29,440 appreciation of art for you personally 3000 01:55:34,870 --> 01:55:32,239 including music film painting culinary 3001 01:55:37,109 --> 01:55:34,880 games etc how do you 3002 01:55:39,109 --> 01:55:37,119 how did you learn film techniques 3003 01:55:41,430 --> 01:55:39,119 so i watched a menagerie of youtube 3004 01:55:43,750 --> 01:55:41,440 videos of all sorts ranging from after 3005 01:55:45,350 --> 01:55:43,760 effects tutorials to sound mixing and 3006 01:55:47,830 --> 01:55:45,360 then i analyzed them fairly 3007 01:55:50,629 --> 01:55:47,840 punctiliously with a pen and paper i 3008 01:55:53,270 --> 01:55:50,639 took one theory class to its completion 3009 01:55:56,310 --> 01:55:53,280 that is a film theory class and it 3010 01:55:57,990 --> 01:55:56,320 showed me what film form was and how one 3011 01:55:59,990 --> 01:55:58,000 can scrutinize art in a much less 3012 01:56:01,990 --> 01:56:00,000 subjective manner disconnected from the 3013 01:56:03,910 --> 01:56:02,000 story which is the opposite of what most 3014 01:56:06,790 --> 01:56:03,920 filmmakers are taught they're taught 3015 01:56:09,030 --> 01:56:06,800 it's all about the story and it's not as 3016 01:56:11,270 --> 01:56:09,040 for if art improves or art theory 3017 01:56:12,950 --> 01:56:11,280 improves my appreciation the answer is 3018 01:56:15,990 --> 01:56:12,960 yes from me 3019 01:56:18,070 --> 01:56:16,000 as i have a difficult time appreciating 3020 01:56:19,350 --> 01:56:18,080 what i don't know 3021 01:56:20,390 --> 01:56:19,360 if i don't know how something was 3022 01:56:22,790 --> 01:56:20,400 created i 3023 01:56:24,870 --> 01:56:22,800 appreciate it much less or 3024 01:56:26,470 --> 01:56:24,880 to be more accurate once i know how 3025 01:56:29,109 --> 01:56:26,480 something's created i can appreciate it 3026 01:56:30,870 --> 01:56:29,119 more for example i know how rock music 3027 01:56:32,629 --> 01:56:30,880 is created because i was in a band at 3028 01:56:34,950 --> 01:56:32,639 some point and so i appreciate rock 3029 01:56:37,189 --> 01:56:34,960 music but i can't appreciate modern 3030 01:56:39,270 --> 01:56:37,199 music to the same degree i don't know 3031 01:56:40,950 --> 01:56:39,280 how it is they make the beats that they 3032 01:56:43,030 --> 01:56:40,960 make i don't know how they apply the 3033 01:56:44,229 --> 01:56:43,040 effects i also don't see why modern 3034 01:56:45,990 --> 01:56:44,239 songs 3035 01:56:48,149 --> 01:56:46,000 are in the mainstream credited to the 3036 01:56:49,430 --> 01:56:48,159 singer rather than the producer because 3037 01:56:51,510 --> 01:56:49,440 i see the 3038 01:56:53,189 --> 01:56:51,520 end result as being 90 the producer 3039 01:56:54,470 --> 01:56:53,199 rather than the singer the singers like 3040 01:56:56,870 --> 01:56:54,480 the whipped cream 3041 01:56:58,790 --> 01:56:56,880 but i also imagine that's much 3042 01:57:00,709 --> 01:56:58,800 the same phenomenon as people liking the 3043 01:57:02,229 --> 01:57:00,719 actors or knowing that an actor is in a 3044 01:57:04,229 --> 01:57:02,239 film and wanting to see a film because 3045 01:57:05,350 --> 01:57:04,239 of that rather than the writer 3046 01:57:07,750 --> 01:57:05,360 director 3047 01:57:10,870 --> 01:57:07,760 when i watch movies my eyes dart around 3048 01:57:12,790 --> 01:57:10,880 the screen extremely sporadically rarely 3049 01:57:15,030 --> 01:57:12,800 paying attention to the story because i 3050 01:57:16,870 --> 01:57:15,040 know a bit about how movies are created 3051 01:57:19,109 --> 01:57:16,880 i'm often thinking about why they made 3052 01:57:21,830 --> 01:57:19,119 certain choices and not other choices 3053 01:57:23,750 --> 01:57:21,840 steve piggett at gorilla dolphin asks 3054 01:57:25,350 --> 01:57:23,760 i'd enjoy hearing you ruminate on what 3055 01:57:27,589 --> 01:57:25,360 it's like 3056 01:57:29,589 --> 01:57:27,599 to feel like someone is making sense but 3057 01:57:31,669 --> 01:57:29,599 you still don't understand them there's 3058 01:57:33,109 --> 01:57:31,679 an amphibological quality to most 3059 01:57:35,350 --> 01:57:33,119 statements on consciousness and 3060 01:57:37,350 --> 01:57:35,360 metaphysics in general luckily i'm fine 3061 01:57:39,669 --> 01:57:37,360 with the ambiguity and i would say that 3062 01:57:41,669 --> 01:57:39,679 a skill of mine if one can call it that 3063 01:57:43,510 --> 01:57:41,679 is to be comfortable with ideas that 3064 01:57:45,189 --> 01:57:43,520 don't cohere there's an intuition i may 3065 01:57:47,109 --> 01:57:45,199 feel of connection when someone says 3066 01:57:49,350 --> 01:57:47,119 something explicitly then i look at what 3067 01:57:50,790 --> 01:57:49,360 it means implicitly unconsciously and 3068 01:57:52,790 --> 01:57:50,800 then i see that as consonant with some 3069 01:57:54,550 --> 01:57:52,800 established concept of mind this is all 3070 01:57:56,550 --> 01:57:54,560 unconscious so what i'm saying may not 3071 01:57:58,310 --> 01:57:56,560 be entirely accurate as it's difficult 3072 01:57:59,589 --> 01:57:58,320 to know what's going on unconsciously 3073 01:58:01,589 --> 01:57:59,599 i'm telling you how i feel my 3074 01:58:03,430 --> 01:58:01,599 intimations and this occurs when 3075 01:58:05,589 --> 01:58:03,440 someone's speaking so to me that's 3076 01:58:08,229 --> 01:58:05,599 illustrative of them making sense 3077 01:58:10,229 --> 01:58:08,239 implicitly at one level but then not 3078 01:58:13,589 --> 01:58:10,239 explicitly on another level let's say 3079 01:58:19,189 --> 01:58:15,430 jeff said you have a phenomenal 3080 01:58:21,750 --> 01:58:19,199 vocabulary okay so this is a point of 3081 01:58:22,709 --> 01:58:21,760 contention for some people some people 3082 01:58:24,310 --> 01:58:22,719 quite 3083 01:58:26,070 --> 01:58:24,320 like the 3084 01:58:28,950 --> 01:58:26,080 level of technicality in the videos and 3085 01:58:31,030 --> 01:58:28,960 some people dislike them now one has to 3086 01:58:32,790 --> 01:58:31,040 be careful not to use words to sound 3087 01:58:34,790 --> 01:58:32,800 more intelligent as it often has the 3088 01:58:37,350 --> 01:58:34,800 opposite effect i also feel like some 3089 01:58:39,270 --> 01:58:37,360 words that are small to other people are 3090 01:58:41,990 --> 01:58:39,280 in fact large to me or new to me at 3091 01:58:43,750 --> 01:58:42,000 least and vice versa 3092 01:58:45,750 --> 01:58:43,760 when i'm speaking with someone i often 3093 01:58:48,950 --> 01:58:45,760 use it as an exercise so that is when 3094 01:58:51,189 --> 01:58:48,960 you go to the gym you have improper form 3095 01:58:52,790 --> 01:58:51,199 at first but then you exercise and 3096 01:58:55,510 --> 01:58:52,800 that's how you build the muscle when i 3097 01:58:58,310 --> 01:58:55,520 was about 22 or 20 yeah when i was about 3098 01:59:00,229 --> 01:58:58,320 22 i came to this conclusion that i'm 3099 01:59:02,550 --> 01:59:00,239 not going to use words that i think that 3100 01:59:04,629 --> 01:59:02,560 the other person may not know in person 3101 01:59:06,790 --> 01:59:04,639 i'm not going to going to use that when 3102 01:59:08,550 --> 01:59:06,800 i'm walking and talking with someone 3103 01:59:10,229 --> 01:59:08,560 because it makes them it can make 3104 01:59:12,550 --> 01:59:10,239 someone and even me it can make me feel 3105 01:59:13,910 --> 01:59:12,560 obtuse or inane because it's not fun 3106 01:59:15,830 --> 01:59:13,920 when you have to ask someone what's the 3107 01:59:18,310 --> 01:59:15,840 definition of a word so i made it a 3108 01:59:20,790 --> 01:59:18,320 policy when i was younger that if it's 3109 01:59:23,830 --> 01:59:20,800 with text or video or some place where 3110 01:59:26,390 --> 01:59:23,840 people can pause and not feel publicly 3111 01:59:29,109 --> 01:59:26,400 the cerebrate let's say well then i can 3112 01:59:31,510 --> 01:59:29,119 say it for example in this form it's 3113 01:59:34,390 --> 01:59:31,520 also a bit unfair 3114 01:59:35,830 --> 01:59:34,400 because when i write alone i i write in 3115 01:59:38,149 --> 01:59:35,840 this manner in the manner that i speak 3116 01:59:40,470 --> 01:59:38,159 when i think i think with these words i 3117 01:59:42,709 --> 01:59:40,480 also feel like words are patons when i 3118 01:59:44,390 --> 01:59:42,719 say batons i take this concept from 3119 01:59:46,550 --> 01:59:44,400 douglas hofsteder 3120 01:59:49,109 --> 01:59:46,560 words are like 3121 01:59:50,790 --> 01:59:49,119 cognitive tools they make your cognition 3122 01:59:53,030 --> 01:59:50,800 more flexible 3123 01:59:54,550 --> 01:59:53,040 one way that you can see this is that if 3124 01:59:57,430 --> 01:59:54,560 i was to ask you 3125 02:00:00,390 --> 01:59:57,440 would you like me to remove 3126 02:00:02,629 --> 02:00:00,400 100 of your words at random you would 3127 02:00:05,189 --> 02:00:02,639 probably not like that and the reason is 3128 02:00:07,189 --> 02:00:05,199 those words help you access other points 3129 02:00:08,870 --> 02:00:07,199 that you couldn't access before and the 3130 02:00:10,709 --> 02:00:08,880 amount that you could express would be 3131 02:00:12,709 --> 02:00:10,719 so diminished the amount that you can 3132 02:00:14,070 --> 02:00:12,719 think would be so diminished as well now 3133 02:00:15,669 --> 02:00:14,080 just take it to the opposite where you 3134 02:00:17,589 --> 02:00:15,679 want to add words and the more words 3135 02:00:19,510 --> 02:00:17,599 that you add it's like adding extra 3136 02:00:22,070 --> 02:00:19,520 tools to your toolbox you can do more 3137 02:00:23,510 --> 02:00:22,080 with them you can think more rapidly 3138 02:00:26,149 --> 02:00:23,520 and make connections that you weren't 3139 02:00:28,310 --> 02:00:26,159 able to before as soon as you can give a 3140 02:00:30,229 --> 02:00:28,320 name to a concept you can all of a 3141 02:00:32,070 --> 02:00:30,239 sudden use that concept whereas before 3142 02:00:33,589 --> 02:00:32,080 it was 10 concepts now it's just one 3143 02:00:34,950 --> 02:00:33,599 it's also the case that it's going to 3144 02:00:36,870 --> 02:00:34,960 sound awkward and this is going to be 3145 02:00:38,629 --> 02:00:36,880 the case for anyone who's trying to 3146 02:00:40,390 --> 02:00:38,639 let's say one is trying to lose weight 3147 02:00:41,589 --> 02:00:40,400 in a group of friends who is who are 3148 02:00:43,270 --> 02:00:41,599 overweight you're all overweight you're 3149 02:00:45,430 --> 02:00:43,280 going to get made fun of 3150 02:00:48,070 --> 02:00:45,440 because people don't particularly like 3151 02:00:50,709 --> 02:00:48,080 when one person is improving in some 3152 02:00:52,550 --> 02:00:50,719 manner they'll call you disingenuous and 3153 02:00:54,629 --> 02:00:52,560 question your motivations the only way 3154 02:00:57,109 --> 02:00:54,639 for me to improve my linguistic 3155 02:00:58,550 --> 02:00:57,119 cognition would be for me to continually 3156 02:00:59,270 --> 02:00:58,560 use the words 3157 02:01:00,470 --> 02:00:59,280 and 3158 02:01:04,390 --> 02:01:00,480 with 3159 02:01:05,830 --> 02:01:04,400 so for example there's a guitar behind 3160 02:01:08,070 --> 02:01:05,840 me 3161 02:01:10,310 --> 02:01:08,080 if you play the f chord initially it's 3162 02:01:12,390 --> 02:01:10,320 going to mute most of the strings but 3163 02:01:14,629 --> 02:01:12,400 then that's not a reason to not play the 3164 02:01:15,990 --> 02:01:14,639 f chord you just have to keep playing it 3165 02:01:17,589 --> 02:01:16,000 until you get it correct and then all of 3166 02:01:21,030 --> 02:01:17,599 a sudden the amount of music that you 3167 02:01:23,589 --> 02:01:21,040 can create is vast there are so many 3168 02:01:25,189 --> 02:01:23,599 myths about vocabulary like people will 3169 02:01:27,109 --> 02:01:25,199 say don't use a five dollar word when a 3170 02:01:29,430 --> 02:01:27,119 one dollar one will do and feynman was 3171 02:01:32,149 --> 02:01:29,440 great at speaking simply feynman wasn't 3172 02:01:34,629 --> 02:01:32,159 great at speaking simply he would speak 3173 02:01:36,550 --> 02:01:34,639 to a public to the public simply but if 3174 02:01:37,350 --> 02:01:36,560 he's speaking to scientists behind doors 3175 02:01:39,510 --> 02:01:37,360 this is 3176 02:01:41,669 --> 02:01:39,520 from an abstract of one of his papers 3177 02:01:43,510 --> 02:01:41,679 the representation of vermi particles by 3178 02:01:45,510 --> 02:01:43,520 two component polyspinners satisfying a 3179 02:01:47,430 --> 02:01:45,520 second order differential equation and 3180 02:01:49,350 --> 02:01:47,440 the suggestion that in p decay these 3181 02:01:51,430 --> 02:01:49,360 spinners act without gradient couplings 3182 02:01:54,790 --> 02:01:51,440 lead to an essentially unique week for 3183 02:01:56,870 --> 02:01:54,800 fermion coupling it is equivalent to 3184 02:01:58,550 --> 02:01:56,880 so on and so on what about that is 3185 02:02:01,510 --> 02:01:58,560 simple 3186 02:02:03,510 --> 02:02:01,520 it sounds extremely verbose now you also 3187 02:02:04,950 --> 02:02:03,520 have to match your vocabulary to who 3188 02:02:07,830 --> 02:02:04,960 you're speaking to 3189 02:02:10,149 --> 02:02:07,840 for example when one speaks to a child 3190 02:02:11,669 --> 02:02:10,159 one speaks laconically and warmly and 3191 02:02:13,109 --> 02:02:11,679 then when one speaks to a ten-year-old 3192 02:02:15,270 --> 02:02:13,119 one speaks differently than when one 3193 02:02:17,510 --> 02:02:15,280 speaks to a fifteen-year-old and so on 3194 02:02:19,430 --> 02:02:17,520 and so on and if i'm speaking to 3195 02:02:20,870 --> 02:02:19,440 some of the brightest minds on the 3196 02:02:22,390 --> 02:02:20,880 planet 3197 02:02:24,550 --> 02:02:22,400 it's like my 3198 02:02:26,070 --> 02:02:24,560 mind kicks in gear that's enough that 3199 02:02:29,350 --> 02:02:26,080 i'll say about that the next question 3200 02:02:31,669 --> 02:02:29,360 comes from alien lives matter 3201 02:02:33,589 --> 02:02:31,679 do you edit your ufo podcasts and if so 3202 02:02:35,990 --> 02:02:33,599 can you place a can you put up a 3203 02:02:38,149 --> 02:02:36,000 compilation of your edits 3204 02:02:39,990 --> 02:02:38,159 because there may be nuggets well i 3205 02:02:42,870 --> 02:02:40,000 don't edit any sentiments out of the 3206 02:02:45,189 --> 02:02:42,880 podcast mainly what i remove are my own 3207 02:02:47,990 --> 02:02:45,199 sprawling pauses and there may be times 3208 02:02:49,830 --> 02:02:48,000 where there's an audio or video glitch 3209 02:02:51,750 --> 02:02:49,840 and i'll try to edit a few frames around 3210 02:02:53,430 --> 02:02:51,760 it but it's never 3211 02:02:55,750 --> 02:02:53,440 it's never removing what someone was 3212 02:02:58,310 --> 02:02:55,760 trying to express 3213 02:02:59,990 --> 02:02:58,320 griswold grim says does the youtube 3214 02:03:02,629 --> 02:03:00,000 channel that is the tow channel need a 3215 02:03:05,189 --> 02:03:02,639 showrunner like a sitcom does is it like 3216 02:03:07,589 --> 02:03:05,199 being a captain of a ship for you so i 3217 02:03:09,510 --> 02:03:07,599 asked griz walt what he meant and he 3218 02:03:12,149 --> 02:03:09,520 said basically how many people does it 3219 02:03:13,669 --> 02:03:12,159 take to run the show like if i was gone 3220 02:03:17,109 --> 02:03:13,679 how many people would it take to run 3221 02:03:20,070 --> 02:03:17,119 it's just me i do 3222 02:03:21,830 --> 02:03:20,080 i do everything right now 3223 02:03:24,390 --> 02:03:21,840 for the toe clippings channel i do 3224 02:03:27,510 -->
