00:01:50,450 --> 00:01:48,600 Consciousness UFO space in an 41 00:01:53,389 --> 00:01:50,460 agglomeration with other podcasters who 42 00:01:55,490 --> 00:01:53,399 have low thousands or even low tens of 43 00:01:58,249 --> 00:01:55,500 YouTube subscribers in the same place 44 00:02:01,190 --> 00:01:58,259 this Virago was intentional on my part 45 00:02:03,770 --> 00:02:01,200 as unlikely interming anglings are not 46 00:02:05,330 --> 00:02:03,780 only in the mirthful holiday spirits but 47 00:02:07,249 --> 00:02:05,340 something I personally would love to see 48 00:02:09,290 --> 00:02:07,259 more of YouTube is an incredibly 49 00:02:10,729 --> 00:02:09,300 competitive space and YouTubers don't 50 00:02:12,650 --> 00:02:10,739 like to mention one another they don't 51 00:02:14,869 --> 00:02:12,660 like to boost one another up generally 52 00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:14,879 speaking especially as they get larger 53 00:02:18,890 --> 00:02:17,040 and so this is my way of bucking that 54 00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:18,900 Trend there's also that video of the 40 55 00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:20,640 smaller channels in the Consciousness 56 00:02:24,949 --> 00:02:23,280 math physics and UFO space I also plan 57 00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:24,959 on doing a follow-up on that in about a 58 00:02:28,369 --> 00:02:26,400 month or so highlighting some more 59 00:02:30,530 --> 00:02:28,379 channels if you've run a podcast before 60 00:02:33,770 --> 00:02:30,540 you'd realize it's extremely difficult 61 00:02:35,869 --> 00:02:33,780 to schedule even one of these guests let 62 00:02:38,030 --> 00:02:35,879 alone to get several guests from 63 00:02:40,490 --> 00:02:38,040 disparate Fields with prodigiously 64 00:02:42,770 --> 00:02:40,500 contrasting perspectives to speak to one 65 00:02:45,110 --> 00:02:42,780 another let alone getting smaller 66 00:02:47,089 --> 00:02:45,120 podcasters alongside with them when 67 00:02:48,890 --> 00:02:47,099 creating this we didn't realize that 68 00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:48,900 nothing like this had been attempted 69 00:02:52,369 --> 00:02:50,879 before but from reading the chat and 70 00:02:54,229 --> 00:02:52,379 speaking with some of the guests 71 00:02:56,809 --> 00:02:54,239 afterwards we were made known that this 72 00:02:59,990 --> 00:02:56,819 is inadvertently historic and that's not 73 00:03:02,930 --> 00:03:00,000 tooting toe's horn it's this way because 74 00:03:05,330 --> 00:03:02,940 of the guests so thank you thank you to 75 00:03:07,070 --> 00:03:05,340 all the people mentioned above and thank 76 00:03:08,930 --> 00:03:07,080 you to all those who I had invited but 77 00:03:10,970 --> 00:03:08,940 had forgotten to send a link to or 78 00:03:13,070 --> 00:03:10,980 simply forgot to invite it was a much 79 00:03:15,350 --> 00:03:13,080 more unzipped and vexing time than I 80 00:03:17,690 --> 00:03:15,360 thought tremendously more because of the 81 00:03:20,930 --> 00:03:17,700 success tonanza will be a yearly 82 00:03:22,670 --> 00:03:20,940 tradition maybe even semi-annually in 83 00:03:25,910 --> 00:03:22,680 the original stream on December 30th 84 00:03:29,449 --> 00:03:25,920 2022 roughly 1 000 people were watching 85 00:03:32,089 --> 00:03:29,459 at any given moment and in total 17 86 00:03:34,369 --> 00:03:32,099 000 eyes and ears were watching and 87 00:03:36,830 --> 00:03:34,379 listening with excitement for this cast 88 00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:36,840 of Brilliant Minds thank you for making 89 00:03:41,690 --> 00:03:39,360 this possible this was a great deal of 90 00:03:43,550 --> 00:03:41,700 fun for me in fact you'll see a much 91 00:03:45,770 --> 00:03:43,560 more relaxed and temperately more zany 92 00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:45,780 Kurt that is decidedly different from 93 00:03:50,089 --> 00:03:48,239 the laser focused researched and 94 00:03:52,369 --> 00:03:50,099 hopefully incisive Kurt from the 95 00:03:54,890 --> 00:03:52,379 ordinary tow podcasts this is in part 96 00:03:57,289 --> 00:03:54,900 due to my constant theme of lassitude 97 00:03:58,970 --> 00:03:57,299 and insomnia but also because I 98 00:04:01,670 --> 00:03:58,980 purposefully didn't prepare any 99 00:04:03,949 --> 00:04:01,680 questions nor even frame of mind the 100 00:04:05,809 --> 00:04:03,959 vibe of tonanza is meant to be that of a 101 00:04:07,850 --> 00:04:05,819 pub where you invite a mishmash of 102 00:04:10,130 --> 00:04:07,860 people regardless of their opinion of 103 00:04:12,770 --> 00:04:10,140 one another and see what conversation 104 00:04:14,990 --> 00:04:12,780 emerges in a relaxed fashion without a 105 00:04:17,150 --> 00:04:15,000 pre-ordained agenda to everyone who 106 00:04:19,909 --> 00:04:17,160 joined the live stream I'm super super 107 00:04:21,830 --> 00:04:19,919 grateful to you watching now I'm super 108 00:04:24,050 --> 00:04:21,840 grateful to you listening now or reading 109 00:04:26,330 --> 00:04:24,060 now I'm grateful when Topher started I 110 00:04:28,129 --> 00:04:26,340 had no idea where it would be I still 111 00:04:30,469 --> 00:04:28,139 don't know where it's going but watching 112 00:04:32,570 --> 00:04:30,479 you all warms my heart gives me hope 113 00:04:34,850 --> 00:04:32,580 that conversations like this actually 114 00:04:37,310 --> 00:04:34,860 affect a change hopefully in a positive 115 00:04:39,890 --> 00:04:37,320 direction thank you to blinkist who 116 00:04:41,450 --> 00:04:39,900 sponsored tonanza without them this 117 00:04:44,570 --> 00:04:41,460 wouldn't have happened so

that's scientific knowledge 121 00:04:52,969 --> 00:04:50,940 or otherwise we at least attempt to 122 00:04:55,850 --> 00:04:52,979 integrate some of the best tools into 123 00:04:57,530 -->

I have 473 00:21:52,789 --> 00:21:51,299 this feeling people make plenty of 474 00:21:55,490 --> 00:21:52,799 well there's plenty of attention paid to 475 00:21:56,930 --> 00:21:55,500 prodigies like child prodigies but I 476 00:22:00,490 --> 00:21:56,940 tend to 477 00:22:03,590 --> 00:22:00,500 adore respect and learn more from people 478 00:22:05,510 --> 00:22:03,600 who much later in life came to something 479 00:22:08,149 --> 00:22:05,520 like math or physics so that is when 480 00:22:10,010 --> 00:22:08,159 they're 30 or 40 or even 50. for myself 481 00:22:12,649 --> 00:22:10,020 I don't feel like I'll have a belt on 482 00:22:14,990 --> 00:22:12,659 channel until I'm 57 and I think that's 483 00:22:16,370 --> 00:22:15,000 okay I think that there's something at 484 00:22:18,409 --> 00:22:16,380 least for me there's something honest 485 00:22:20,990 --> 00:22:18,419 about that there's something premature 486 00:22:22,250 --> 00:22:21,000 about having it before you're well while 487 00:22:24,409 --> 00:22:22,260 you're in your 20s and something that 488 00:22:26,690 --> 00:22:24,419 the PHD that the sorry that the academy 489 00:22:28,250 --> 00:22:26,700 does to you is they get you to do some 490 00:22:29,810 --> 00:22:28,260 research for your PhD when you're in 491 00:22:31,970 --> 00:22:29,820 your 20s when you're in your creative 492 00:22:33,529 --> 00:22:31,980 Prime and when you're in your early 30s 493 00:22:35,570 --> 00:22:33,539 which is when you should be evaluating 494 00:22:37,970 --> 00:22:35,580 several other ideas rather than pursuing 495 00:22:40,130 --> 00:22:37,980 a single one that you've chosen based on 496 00:22:42,230 --> 00:22:40,140 some based on based on your research or 497 00:22:44,510 --> 00:22:42,240 your professor so then you've inherited 498 00:22:46,370 --> 00:22:44,520 their biases 499 00:22:48,950 --> 00:22:46,380 I think that you should do your PhD when 500 00:22:56,210 --> 00:22:48,960 you're 50. anyway

--> 00:29:12,240 anybody who who still wants to read it 655 00:29:15,590 --> 00:29:13,679 after hearing that it might take them 656 00:29:17,990 --> 00:29:15,600 two to three years well good luck but I 657 00:29:21,350 --> 00:29:18,000 reckon that if you if you really want to 658 00:29:25,310 --> 00:29:21,360 you can do it in about six weeks I I I'm 659 00:29:28,070 --> 00:29:25,320 going to be re uh reading the audiobook 660 00:29:30,110 --> 00:29:28,080 um because people said the audiobook 661 00:29:32,210 --> 00:29:30,120 we'd love to have that but we don't 662 00:29:34,490 --> 00:29:32,220 think that the master and his 663 00:29:36,889 --> 00:29:34,500 atmospheres audio book version was that 664 00:29:39,230 --> 00:29:36,899 good so could you do it yourself this 665 00:29:42,169 --> 00:29:39,240 time and so I'm setting aside something 666 00:29:44,029 --> 00:29:42,179 like a 90 hours or something to read 667 00:29:47,450 --> 00:29:44,039 this aloud 668 00:29:51,110 --> 00:29:47,460 um right and uh yeah true and the other 669 00:29:52,370 --> 00:29:51,120 piece of news is that in 2023 at some 670 00:29:54,889 --> 00:29:52,380 point we're going to be releasing a 671 00:29:57,590 --> 00:29:54,899 paperback so it's already available on 672 00:30:00,049 --> 00:29:57,600 Kindle but anybody who's 673 00:30:01,610 --> 00:30:00,059 anybody who's a really serious reader 674 00:30:03,830 --> 00:30:01,620 will want to have a copy of the hardback 675 00:30:05,750 --> 00:30:03,840 before it disappears because it's such a 676 00:30:08,930 --> 00:30:05,760 beautiful book I think and it's 677 00:30:13,430 --> 00:30:08,940 currently in her really is currently in 678 00:30:15,590 --> 00:30:13,440 hardback it started off in hardback and 679 00:30:16,850 --> 00:30:15,600 um we sold about 12 000 copies of the 680 00:30:19,850 --> 00:30:16,860 hardback and I thought it was about time 681 00:30:21,529 --> 00:30:19,860 to move into the paperback and and all 682 00:30:23,330 --> 00:30:21,539 the rest so there we are that's my 683 00:30:24,830 --> 00:30:23,340 favorite comment this is asking anything 684 00:30:27,889 --> 00:30:24,840 with Jack said I read the matter of 685 00:30:31,070 --> 00:30:27,899 things with my iPhone Mini 686 00:30:34,669 --> 00:30:31,080 it's an iPhone Mini even smaller than an 687 00:30:37,370 --> 00:30:34,679 iPhone I can't I can't believe it 688 00:30:39,110 --> 00:30:37,380 it's a Happy New Year to Ian from Mike 689 00:30:40,310 --> 00:30:39,120 Ian thank you so much for coming out to 690 00:30:43,250 --> 00:30:40,320 this thank you 691 00:30:44,630 --> 00:30:43,260 so what's new with you man yeah 692 00:30:45,590 --> 00:30:44,640 well 693 00:30:47,269 --> 00:30:45,600 um 694 00:30:50,289 --> 00:30:47,279 what are you working on basically I'm 695 00:30:53,210 --> 00:30:50,299 allowing things well I what's coming up 696 00:30:55,430 --> 00:30:53,220 uh quite a long period a fallow period I 697 00:30:58,549 --> 00:30:55,440 mean it took me 10 years of solid work 698 00:31:00,649 --> 00:30:58,559 to produce that last book and uh it's 699 00:31:01,789 --> 00:31:00,659 taken me most of the last years to sort 700 00:31:04,310 --> 00:31:01,799 of 701 00:31:07,370 --> 00:31:04,320 um regrouped my my thoughts because I've 702 00:31:09,110 --> 00:31:07,380 been busy talking and doing interviews 703 00:31:11,510 --> 00:31:09,120 and traveling 704 00:31:13,669 --> 00:31:11,520 um what I haven't made is really a 705 00:31:15,490 --> 00:31:13,679 couple of books one which I've been 706 00:31:17,930 --> 00:31:15,500 promising for a long time because I've 707 00:31:19,850 --> 00:31:17,940 over a lifetime 708 00:31:23,029 --> 00:31:19,860 um assembled a number of very 709 00:31:25,250 --> 00:31:23,039 interesting paintings by psychotic 710 00:31:28,850 --> 00:31:25,260 patients of mine and to do a study 711 00:31:31,549 --> 00:31:28,860 generally of the the artwork of people 712 00:31:32,870 --> 00:31:31,559 with psychiatric illnesses because I 713 00:31:34,070 --> 00:31:32,880 think it's absolutely fascinating and 714 00:31:36,350 --> 00:31:34,080 many of the paintings are really 715 00:31:38,570 --> 00:31:36,360 beautiful so I think that would be that 716 00:31:41,570 --> 00:31:38,580 would be a less ambitious task than the 717 00:31:43,370 --> 00:31:41,580 ones I've set myself in recent years and 718 00:31:46,549 --> 00:31:43,380 perhaps another would be just to write a 719 00:31:49,130 --> 00:31:46,559 short book of like 720 00:31:50,750 --> 00:31:49,140 um very short comments aphorisms you 721 00:31:53,450 --> 00:31:50,760 know things like that yeah the very 722 00:31:55,149 --> 00:31:53,460 opposite of my you know other other 723 00:31:58,730 --> 00:31:55,159 works yeah 724 00:32:00,470 --> 00:31:58,740 do you find that the patients who have a 725 00:32:02,450 --> 00:32:00,480 mental condition that they produce work 726 00:32:04,250 --> 00:32:02,460 of higher qualities or it's sorry of 727 00:32:05,810 --> 00:32:04,260 higher quality or it's just Divergent 728 00:32:07,909 --> 00:32:05,820 and so you get extremely high quality 729 00:32:09,230 --> 00:32:07,919 but you get extremely lower quality 730 00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:09,240 or you don't even want to think of in 731 00:32:13,070 --> 00:32:11,100 terms of quality 732 00:32:16,669 --> 00:32:13,080 well I think you'd have to bring to bear 733 00:32:17,350 --> 00:32:16,679 different criteria on it so 734 00:32:21,110 --> 00:32:17,360 um 735 00:32:22,789 --> 00:32:21,120 so it no it's not just more beautiful or 736 00:32:25,130 --> 00:32:22,799 more beautifully executed though some of 737 00:32:27,350 --> 00:32:25,140 the paintings are both very beautiful 738 00:32:30,169 --> 00:32:27,360 and very beautifully executed is that 739 00:32:32,649 --> 00:32:30,179 they introduce us to an amazing way of 740 00:32:36,889 --> 00:32:32,659 looking at the world they're they're 741 00:32:38,750 --> 00:32:36,899 astonishing Little Gems of they explain 742 00:32:40,610 --> 00:32:38,760 things that really can hardly be put 743 00:32:43,370 --> 00:32:40,620 into words and that's presumably why 744 00:32:45,889 --> 00:32:43,380 they spent the time creating these 745 00:32:50,029 --> 00:32:45,899 extraordinary images so I think they're 746 00:32:51,830 --> 00:32:50,039 fascinating and um you know worth worth 747 00:32:53,389 --> 00:32:51,840 looking at from anybody's point of view 748 00:32:54,350 --> 00:32:53,399 even if you're not interested in mental 749 00:32:57,049 --> 00:32:54,360 illness 750 00:32:59,029 --> 00:32:57,059 what what does it take from you to write 751 00:33:01,310 --> 00:32:59,039 such books 752 00:33:03,289 --> 00:33:01,320 okay so that's a problem what I mean is 753 00:33:05,630 --> 00:33:03,299 firstly mentally yeah 754 00:33:07,970 --> 00:33:05,640 in terms of research in terms of how you 755 00:33:11,330 --> 00:33:07,980 structure your day as well 756 00:33:12,889 --> 00:33:11,340 yeah the long books took a lot of work 757 00:33:15,289 --> 00:33:12,899 um because 758 00:33:17,389 --> 00:33:15,299 I was simultaneously assembling an 759 00:33:20,389 --> 00:33:17,399 enormous amount of material researching 760 00:33:23,090 --> 00:33:20,399 it organizing it 761 00:33:25,009 --> 00:33:23,100 um and putting it together and it's an 762 00:33:28,009 --> 00:33:25,019 organic process in which I kept going 763 00:33:30,049 --> 00:33:28,019 backwards and forwards between uh oh hi 764 00:33:33,110 --> 00:33:30,059 Mike that's really nice to see you by 765 00:33:34,789 --> 00:33:33,120 the way Mike 11 is in the house huge 766 00:33:39,649 --> 00:33:34,799 pleasure to meet you in 767 00:33:46,190 --> 00:33:41,330 um 768 00:33:47,810 --> 00:33:46,200 long book like the matter where things 769 00:33:49,490 --> 00:33:47,820 took an enormous amount out of me 770 00:33:53,450 --> 00:33:49,500 because I was doing both very detailed 771 00:33:55,669 --> 00:33:53,460 work and Broad thinking and joining up 772 00:33:57,529 --> 00:33:55,679 the dots and seeing the bigger picture 773 00:34:00,889 --> 00:33:57,539 which is in a way 774 00:34:02,990 --> 00:34:00,899 um a a an exemplification of my belief 775 00:34:05,389 --> 00:34:03,000 that the two hemispheres weren't paying 776 00:34:07,430 --> 00:34:05,399 very localized detailed focus and the 777 00:34:09,409 --> 00:34:07,440 other paying a much broader sustained 778 00:34:12,409 --> 00:34:09,419 folks need to be working together but I 779 00:34:14,210 --> 00:34:12,419 found your work my I mean nothing very 780 00:34:17,570 --> 00:34:14,220 original in my saying this but to me it 781 00:34:19,669 --> 00:34:17,580 was a real uh Revelation and I'm really 782 00:34:21,889 --> 00:34:19,679 fascinated by what you're doing well 783 00:34:25,369 --> 00:34:21,899 likewise thank you so much 784 00:34:27,530 --> 00:34:25,379 good good and I I do cite your work in 785 00:34:29,270 --> 00:34:27,540 the matter with things 786 00:34:30,770 --> 00:34:29,280 um and it raised some interesting 787 00:34:33,349 --> 00:34:30,780 questions which perhaps I could put to 788 00:34:37,190 --> 00:34:33,359 you um but please I mean very very 789 00:34:39,050 --> 00:34:37,200 simple one have you take the the 790 00:34:41,030 --> 00:34:39,060 experiment you did where you 791 00:34:42,790 --> 00:34:41,040 deliberately 792 00:34:46,550 --> 00:34:42,800 um distorted 793 00:34:48,589 --> 00:34:46,560 the areas of the tadpole that would 794 00:34:50,690 --> 00:34:48,599 create the face of the Frog 795 00:34:53,030 --> 00:34:50,700 and yet the Frog 796 00:34:54,950 --> 00:34:53,040 as it were developed using completely 797 00:34:57,050 --> 00:34:54,960 different Pathways from any that could 798 00:34:59,390 --> 00:34:57,060 have been that could have been as it 799 00:35:01,250 --> 00:34:59,400 were programmed in it so it reacted to 800 00:35:03,589 --> 00:35:01,260 this situation as a new situation 801 00:35:07,310 --> 00:35:03,599 responded intelligently and we know many 802 00:35:09,349 --> 00:35:07,320 many instances of this of single cells 803 00:35:11,329 --> 00:35:09,359 for example but in a complex organism 804 00:35:13,430 --> 00:35:11,339 like that it's particularly fascinating 805 00:35:15,349 --> 00:35:13,440 but of course this is happening all the 806 00:35:16,970 --> 00:35:15,359 time when parts of the brain go missing 807 00:35:19,010 --> 00:35:16,980 and the rest of the brain knows it needs 808 00:35:20,810 --> 00:35:19,020 as it were to recover something that it 809 00:35:22,990 --> 00:35:20,820 senses is not there and another part 810 00:35:25,970 --> 00:35:23,000 gets repurposed have you thoughts about 811 00:35:27,890 --> 00:35:25,980 where these in a way 812 00:35:30,530 --> 00:35:27,900 I hate to use the term because people 813 00:35:32,810 --> 00:35:30,540 get so uppity about it but these sort of 814 00:35:35,210 --> 00:35:32,820 they are morphogenetic 815 00:35:36,530 --> 00:35:35,220 um force field where they are what they 816 00:35:38,329 --> 00:35:36,540 are what they're like where they come 817 00:35:39,170 --> 00:35:38,339 from have you have you been exploring 818 00:35:42,410 --> 00:35:39,180 that 819 00:35:43,670 --> 00:35:42,420 we have um yeah so so we divide this 820 00:35:47,210 --> 00:35:43,680 problem into a couple of different 821 00:35:48,950 --> 00:35:47,220 pieces so what we can do now to a large 822 00:35:53,630 --> 00:35:48,960 extent at least in these model systems 823 00:35:56,329 --> 00:35:53,640 is to directly observe somewhat decode 824 00:35:59,150 --> 00:35:56,339 and and modify it you know in some cases 825 00:36:01,069 --> 00:35:59,160 at will in some cases not the pattern 826 00:36:02,750 --> 00:36:01,079 memories that allow this collective 827 00:36:04,910 --> 00:36:02,760 intelligence of these cells to build 828 00:36:06,410 --> 00:36:04,920 particular things so we can literally 829 00:36:08,630 --> 00:36:06,420 see these memories in the way that 830 00:36:10,550 --> 00:36:08,640 people who do neural decoding can sort 831 00:36:12,230 --> 00:36:10,560 of read out the evidence of specific 832 00:36:15,829 --> 00:36:12,240 memories in the nervous system and so on 833 00:36:17,630 --> 00:36:15,839 so so that part we have uh there's I 834 00:36:20,569 --> 00:36:17,640 think an even more kind of profound 835 00:36:22,550 --> 00:36:20,579 component to this which is that this 836 00:36:23,750 --> 00:36:22,560 this and and I think and I'm you know 837 00:36:25,190 --> 00:36:23,760 I'm not just using this metaphorically 838 00:36:27,589 --> 00:36:25,200 I'm quite serious when I say this the 839 00:36:30,530 --> 00:36:27,599 the collective intelligence of of this 840 00:36:32,630 --> 00:36:30,540 of the cell of the groups of cells are 841 00:36:34,970 --> 00:36:32,640 able to deploy considerable 842 00:36:37,130 --> 00:36:34,980 sophistication and competency in 843 00:36:38,990 --> 00:36:37,140 navigating the space of possible shapes 844 00:36:40,910 --> 00:36:39,000 and as you as you just pointed out in 845 00:36:43,670 --> 00:36:40,920 novel circumstances they do not simply 846 00:36:45,290 --> 00:36:43,680 just do the same thing every time the 847 00:36:47,990 --> 00:36:45,300 the pattern memories that we can read 848 00:36:50,030 --> 00:36:48,000 tell them where they need to go in this 849 00:36:51,650 --> 00:36:50,040 space and that's fine but getting there 850 00:36:54,650 --> 00:36:51,660 they are able to deploy some really 851 00:36:56,510 --> 00:36:54,660 amazing um competencies and that's the 852 00:36:58,490 --> 00:36:56,520 part that we're only now beginning to to 853 00:37:00,530 --> 00:36:58,500 get a hold of is is what are the 854 00:37:02,270 --> 00:37:00,540 mechanisms that allow them to do new 855 00:37:04,430 --> 00:37:02,280 things and new circumstances to still 856 00:37:06,470 --> 00:37:04,440 get to the essential goal at the end and 857 00:37:08,630 --> 00:37:06,480 so I view this very much as a goal 858 00:37:10,130 --> 00:37:08,640 directed phenomenon and it's on us to 859 00:37:11,569 --> 00:37:10,140 figure out what are the competencies 860 00:37:12,890 --> 00:37:11,579 right and how and what are the 861 00:37:14,690 --> 00:37:12,900 mechanisms and we have so much you know 862 00:37:16,490 --> 00:37:14,700 we have some data on it but but this is 863 00:37:18,349 --> 00:37:16,500 the big I think the big mystery for the 864 00:37:21,470 --> 00:37:18,359 next few decades 865 00:37:23,390 --> 00:37:21,480 you mentioned their memory which is 866 00:37:25,430 --> 00:37:23,400 something as it were almost by 867 00:37:28,370 --> 00:37:25,440 definition from somewhere in the past 868 00:37:30,050 --> 00:37:28,380 and you you suggested you didn't use the 869 00:37:32,390 --> 00:37:30,060 word but you suggested somehow that 870 00:37:34,550 --> 00:37:32,400 there was a sense of direction of the 871 00:37:36,890 --> 00:37:34,560 whole complex system of the organism in 872 00:37:39,589 --> 00:37:36,900 other words a kind of tea loss yeah but 873 00:37:42,890 --> 00:37:39,599 where is the memory and where is the 874 00:37:44,750 --> 00:37:42,900 Telos what is a memory where is where do 875 00:37:47,270 --> 00:37:44,760 your men see start with the use of 876 00:37:50,510 --> 00:37:47,280 scriptures where do they sleep a memory 877 00:37:53,810 --> 00:37:50,520 where do they see that memory so so so 878 00:37:56,030 --> 00:37:53,820 the memory is is encoded in a stable 879 00:37:57,410 --> 00:37:56,040 bioelectric state of all the tissues 880 00:37:59,810 --> 00:37:57,420 it's not just the nervous system it's 881 00:38:02,810 --> 00:37:59,820 all the tissues and it allows the 882 00:38:04,910 --> 00:38:02,820 collective to determine whether so so as 883 00:38:07,130 --> 00:38:04,920 far as we can tell it's kind of like a 884 00:38:09,589 --> 00:38:07,140 very simplistic version of this that 885 00:38:11,750 --> 00:38:09,599 would be a set point in a thermostat in 886 00:38:13,730 --> 00:38:11,760 a homeostatic a homeostatic set point 887 00:38:15,589 --> 00:38:13,740 that basically what it allows the system 888 00:38:17,510 --> 00:38:15,599 to do is to compare the current state to 889 00:38:19,310 --> 00:38:17,520 the Target State the target state is 890 00:38:21,770 --> 00:38:19,320 encoded by electrically if the delta or 891 00:38:23,569 --> 00:38:21,780 the error is large enough then stress 892 00:38:26,210 --> 00:38:23,579 goes up but various actions will be 893 00:38:28,069 --> 00:38:26,220 taken to reduce that that Delta and so 894 00:38:29,630 --> 00:38:28,079 whereas everyone's familiar with 895 00:38:31,069 --> 00:38:29,640 individual cells doing this in let's say 896 00:38:33,410 --> 00:38:31,079 metabolic space right to keep 897 00:38:36,589 --> 00:38:33,420 temperature pH you know simple things 898 00:38:38,089 --> 00:38:36,599 the collective is now able to operate in 899 00:38:40,430 --> 00:38:38,099 exactly the same way but in a different 900 00:38:41,870 --> 00:38:40,440 space it navigates this morphe space the 901 00:38:44,870 --> 00:38:41,880 space of possible anatomical 902 00:38:46,430 --> 00:38:44,880 configurations Guided by this electrical 903 00:38:48,410 --> 00:38:46,440 memory which we can literally see and 904 00:38:49,550 --> 00:38:48,420 rewrite so we have a number of examples 905 00:38:51,650 --> 00:38:49,560 where we've altered the memory in this 906 00:38:52,670 --> 00:38:51,660 cells with with no genetic change the 907 00:38:54,470 --> 00:38:52,680 cells are happy enough to build 908 00:38:56,089 --> 00:38:54,480 something else if we change the 909 00:38:58,910 --> 00:38:56,099 information that tells them what they 910 00:39:00,410 --> 00:38:58,920 should be building now that part we sort 911 00:39:03,349 --> 00:39:00,420 of have a handle on mechanistically 912 00:39:07,609 --> 00:39:03,359 quite well now the part that we're just 913 00:39:09,290 --> 00:39:07,619 beginning to to to sort of touch is how 914 00:39:10,790 --> 00:39:09,300 the 915 00:39:13,130 --> 00:39:10,800 um creative problem solving happens 916 00:39:14,569 --> 00:39:13,140 because what we can show quite easily 917 00:39:16,670 --> 00:39:14,579 right and it's exactly what you started 918 00:39:18,829 --> 00:39:16,680 with it we can show quite easily that it 919 00:39:20,750 --> 00:39:18,839 is never a matter of well maybe in some 920 00:39:22,490 --> 00:39:20,760 systems it is but but in the majority of 921 00:39:24,410 --> 00:39:22,500 living systems it is not a matter of 922 00:39:26,390 --> 00:39:24,420 taking the same path through that space 923 00:39:28,370 --> 00:39:26,400 come what may they know how to go around 924 00:39:30,890 --> 00:39:28,380 obstacles and deal with all kinds of 925 00:39:32,990 --> 00:39:30,900 weird you know circumstances and I think 926 00:39:35,329 --> 00:39:33,000 I'll throw it since you know we're here 927 00:39:38,270 --> 00:39:35,339 sort of as just sharing ideas I'll I'll 928 00:39:39,950 --> 00:39:38,280 throw out a kind of a an unpublished 929 00:39:41,630 --> 00:39:39,960 conjecture that was you know sort of 930 00:39:43,849 --> 00:39:41,640 still working on which is why I think 931 00:39:45,650 --> 00:39:43,859 this they're able to do this and I I 932 00:39:47,750 --> 00:39:45,660 think they're able to do this because 933 00:39:49,310 --> 00:39:47,760 this is what they have to do every 934 00:39:52,130 --> 00:39:49,320 single time I don't think this is a 935 00:39:54,530 --> 00:39:52,140 weird third strange capacity that has to 936 00:39:56,990 --> 00:39:54,540 evolve separately I think I call this I 937 00:39:58,490 --> 00:39:57,000 call this right I call this uh the play 938 00:40:00,530 --> 00:39:58,500 The Hand you're dealt meaning that when 939 00:40:03,770 --> 00:40:00,540 when these beings come into the world 940 00:40:04,970 --> 00:40:03,780 they can't really count on anything they 941 00:40:06,829 --> 00:40:04,980 don't know how many cells they're going 942 00:40:08,390 --> 00:40:06,839 to have because we can take embryos and 943 00:40:10,310 --> 00:40:08,400 cut them into little pieces and they 944 00:40:12,290 --> 00:40:10,320 still do the right thing we they don't 945 00:40:13,310 --> 00:40:12,300 know how many copies of the genome 946 00:40:14,690 --> 00:40:13,320 they're going to have they don't know 947 00:40:16,970 --> 00:40:14,700 what the environment is going to be like 948 00:40:20,089 --> 00:40:16,980 every single act of self-construction 949 00:40:22,069 --> 00:40:20,099 and development is this on the Fly where 950 00:40:23,630 --> 00:40:22,079 are we where is my border where do I end 951 00:40:25,310 --> 00:40:23,640 and the world begins right what 952 00:40:27,050 --> 00:40:25,320 effectors do I have what senses right 953 00:40:29,750 --> 00:40:27,060 they have to they have to do this on the 954 00:40:32,510 --> 00:40:29,760 fly every single time and I think that's 955 00:40:34,849 --> 00:40:32,520 why they're so plastic because Evolution 956 00:40:36,589 --> 00:40:34,859 everything that wasn't plastic probably 957 00:40:38,710 --> 00:40:36,599 couldn't make it you know it's it's 958 00:40:40,670 --> 00:40:38,720 Evolution makes these um 959 00:40:42,650 --> 00:40:40,680 problem-solving machines it doesn't make 960 00:40:44,089 --> 00:40:42,660 solutions for specific narrow problems 961 00:40:45,589 --> 00:40:44,099 that's my guess right that's obviously 962 00:40:48,970 --> 00:40:45,599 very very controversial but that's 963 00:40:53,270 --> 00:40:51,589 exploring that 964 00:40:54,530 --> 00:40:53,280 like is that is it that controversial 965 00:40:57,349 --> 00:40:54,540 though 966 00:41:00,589 --> 00:40:57,359 uh I think it is well you know I think 967 00:41:03,470 --> 00:41:00,599 it requires uh what well well I mean 968 00:41:05,810 --> 00:41:03,480 okay the the part where the part where 969 00:41:08,569 --> 00:41:05,820 it's quite clear that uh living things 970 00:41:10,430 --> 00:41:08,579 can do incredible uh Feats of problem 971 00:41:12,890 --> 00:41:10,440 solving that they were not directly 972 00:41:14,450 --> 00:41:12,900 evolutionarily prepared for that part I 973 00:41:15,950 --> 00:41:14,460 hope is not controversial because the 974 00:41:17,750 --> 00:41:15,960 data are what they are we just see that 975 00:41:19,490 --> 00:41:17,760 and we know that when you you know just 976 00:41:21,770 --> 00:41:19,500 the latest you know our latest example 977 00:41:23,450 --> 00:41:21,780 when you take skin cells off of a off of 978 00:41:25,190 --> 00:41:23,460 an early frog and Brew they reassemble 979 00:41:26,510 --> 00:41:25,200 into this into a xenobot they have a 980 00:41:28,670 --> 00:41:26,520 different life with different behaviors 981 00:41:30,950 --> 00:41:28,680 they just you know with no it requires 982 00:41:32,270 --> 00:41:30,960 no long-term evolutionary adaptation 983 00:41:36,170 --> 00:41:32,280 they just do something completely 984 00:41:39,410 --> 00:41:37,670 I was just going to say Barbara 985 00:41:41,510 --> 00:41:39,420 McClintock you know back in the 80s and 986 00:41:43,310 --> 00:41:41,520 so on was was showing this and it's got 987 00:41:45,829 --> 00:41:43,320 a Nobel Prize for it so we're not really 988 00:41:47,390 --> 00:41:45,839 surprised by that anymore 989 00:41:50,750 --> 00:41:47,400 but well we shouldn't we shouldn't 990 00:41:52,790 --> 00:41:50,760 basically no but it's all inspiring I 991 00:41:55,010 --> 00:41:52,800 mean yeah we're not surprised but we're 992 00:41:57,770 --> 00:41:55,020 we're all the more awe inspired well I 993 00:42:01,130 --> 00:41:57,780 am anyway I find this absolutely amazing 994 00:42:03,589 --> 00:42:01,140 yeah the creatures do this yeah yeah 995 00:42:05,210 --> 00:42:03,599 that that part I I hope is not 996 00:42:07,730 --> 00:42:05,220 controversial the part that I think will 997 00:42:10,190 --> 00:42:07,740 be controversial is my suggestion that 998 00:42:12,410 --> 00:42:10,200 Evolution does not take the past as 999 00:42:14,630 --> 00:42:12,420 seriously as we sort of assume that it 1000 00:42:17,390 --> 00:42:14,640 does we we tend to you know standard 1001 00:42:18,950 --> 00:42:17,400 development is so reliable that it kind 1002 00:42:20,450 --> 00:42:18,960 of lulls you into this false sense of 1003 00:42:22,069 --> 00:42:20,460 security you see it happening the same 1004 00:42:23,990 --> 00:42:22,079 time and you say well yeah of course of 1005 00:42:25,670 --> 00:42:24,000 course acorns give rise to oak trees and 1006 00:42:27,109 --> 00:42:25,680 and you know frog eggs make frogs what 1007 00:42:30,950 --> 00:42:27,119 else could they possibly do because it's 1008 00:42:33,290 --> 00:42:30,960 so it's so reliable but uh I think that 1009 00:42:34,910 --> 00:42:33,300 uh once you start to probe as you must 1010 00:42:36,650 --> 00:42:34,920 if you're going to assay the sort of 1011 00:42:38,150 --> 00:42:36,660 cognitive capacity of any creature you 1012 00:42:40,250 --> 00:42:38,160 have to start to probe it with novelty 1013 00:42:41,690 --> 00:42:40,260 to really make a claim about that you 1014 00:42:44,150 --> 00:42:41,700 really start to discover how much 1015 00:42:45,770 --> 00:42:44,160 plasticity there is and the fact that it 1016 00:42:48,710 --> 00:42:45,780 only does the same thing in every 1017 00:42:50,210 --> 00:42:48,720 circumstance in the same circumstance it 1018 00:42:52,490 --> 00:42:50,220 actually is capable of doing many 1019 00:42:54,589 --> 00:42:52,500 different things and why is that and so 1020 00:42:57,650 --> 00:42:54,599 this idea that that's because it can 1021 00:42:59,990 --> 00:42:57,660 never count on the past the the present 1022 00:43:01,430 --> 00:43:00,000 being exactly like the past right so you 1023 00:43:03,829 --> 00:43:01,440 can do all kinds of crazy things you can 1024 00:43:05,809 --> 00:43:03,839 add cells remove cells add the no you 1025 00:43:07,609 --> 00:43:05,819 know add extra copies of the genome you 1026 00:43:09,650 --> 00:43:07,619 could put physical barriers into things 1027 00:43:11,150 --> 00:43:09,660 you can do all this stuff and the cells 1028 00:43:12,950 --> 00:43:11,160 you can combine you know cells will 1029 00:43:15,230 --> 00:43:12,960 combine with other species of cells so 1030 00:43:17,630 --> 00:43:15,240 you can make chimeras you can make 1031 00:43:19,250 --> 00:43:17,640 um chimeras with inorganic components 1032 00:43:21,650 --> 00:43:19,260 put in electrodes and all this kind of 1033 00:43:24,050 --> 00:43:21,660 stuff they do fine with all of it 1034 00:43:25,730 --> 00:43:24,060 because it's just another day to them 1035 00:43:28,609 --> 00:43:25,740 it's just we are in a new environment 1036 00:43:30,829 --> 00:43:28,619 like we always are we never know what to 1037 00:43:32,990 --> 00:43:30,839 expect and we have to somehow make a go 1038 00:43:34,490 --> 00:43:33,000 of it at every point so that's what I 1039 00:43:36,050 --> 00:43:34,500 think is the product of evolution I 1040 00:43:38,809 --> 00:43:36,060 think that will be very controversial 1041 00:43:40,730 --> 00:43:38,819 yeah and what I particularly love about 1042 00:43:43,010 --> 00:43:40,740 that from a philosophical point of view 1043 00:43:45,349 --> 00:43:43,020 is that in my new book no matter with 1044 00:43:48,109 --> 00:43:45,359 things I'm suggesting that the way in 1045 00:43:51,109 --> 00:43:48,119 which we think of things in a an 1046 00:43:53,750 --> 00:43:51,119 entirely mechanistic way is a mistake 1047 00:43:55,730 --> 00:43:53,760 and I tend to invert 1048 00:43:58,430 --> 00:43:55,740 um the Assumption so for example we used 1049 00:44:00,349 --> 00:43:58,440 to think that the normal State as it 1050 00:44:03,349 --> 00:44:00,359 were the state that needs no explanation 1051 00:44:05,329 --> 00:44:03,359 is stasis and that motion is an aberrant 1052 00:44:07,550 --> 00:44:05,339 State when something comes in or gives 1053 00:44:10,309 --> 00:44:07,560 it a push and this is Newtonian 1054 00:44:12,710 --> 00:44:10,319 mechanics but that actually motion is 1055 00:44:15,170 --> 00:44:12,720 the norm and stasis if it could ever be 1056 00:44:17,150 --> 00:44:15,180 truly completely achieved would be the 1057 00:44:19,550 --> 00:44:17,160 limit case of motion and I have a whole 1058 00:44:21,530 --> 00:44:19,560 lot of these that in fact Simplicity is 1059 00:44:23,809 --> 00:44:21,540 the limit case of complexity and so on 1060 00:44:26,329 --> 00:44:23,819 but what you're really saying here is 1061 00:44:28,670 --> 00:44:26,339 that apparently following a road path is 1062 00:44:30,530 --> 00:44:28,680 not the norm from which these yes 1063 00:44:32,569 --> 00:44:30,540 um extraordinary 1064 00:44:34,970 --> 00:44:32,579 um elaborate and inventive and creative 1065 00:44:37,670 --> 00:44:34,980 processes are some sort of 1066 00:44:40,250 --> 00:44:37,680 um Divergent you're saying that this is 1067 00:44:42,470 --> 00:44:40,260 the norm and the the the the following 1068 00:44:44,210 --> 00:44:42,480 of a routine path is just something that 1069 00:44:46,370 --> 00:44:44,220 we we happen to have taken as the norm 1070 00:44:49,370 --> 00:44:46,380 but is a rather the limit case of 1071 00:44:51,349 --> 00:44:49,380 creativity yeah yeah well I I completely 1072 00:44:53,750 --> 00:44:51,359 agree I think that is the limit case and 1073 00:44:57,530 --> 00:44:53,760 I think that that's what they will do as 1074 00:44:59,210 --> 00:44:57,540 a lazy sort of um easiest thing when the 1075 00:45:01,370 --> 00:44:59,220 environment is the expected simple 1076 00:45:03,230 --> 00:45:01,380 environment but it's by no means but 1077 00:45:05,870 --> 00:45:03,240 it's by no means assumed and in fact 1078 00:45:08,150 --> 00:45:05,880 many things have to be exactly as you 1079 00:45:10,130 --> 00:45:08,160 say you know um your your tongue has 1080 00:45:12,770 --> 00:45:10,140 these these these rosettes right very 1081 00:45:15,170 --> 00:45:12,780 very kind of finely patterned cells if 1082 00:45:17,270 --> 00:45:15,180 if you sever the right if you sever the 1083 00:45:19,190 --> 00:45:17,280 lingual nerve over the next couple of 1084 00:45:20,510 --> 00:45:19,200 weeks there it completely falls apart 1085 00:45:21,829 --> 00:45:20,520 even though the cells are alive nothing 1086 00:45:23,690 --> 00:45:21,839 is dead every you know everything's 1087 00:45:25,370 --> 00:45:23,700 healthy but that organization completely 1088 00:45:27,770 --> 00:45:25,380 falls apart because apparently you need 1089 00:45:29,809 --> 00:45:27,780 constant input to you know from this 1090 00:45:31,970 --> 00:45:29,819 from this this morphogenetic influence 1091 00:45:34,190 --> 00:45:31,980 needs to be constantly working to keep 1092 00:45:36,290 --> 00:45:34,200 everything together as cells come and go 1093 00:45:38,510 --> 00:45:36,300 molecules come and go right that's that 1094 00:45:41,329 --> 00:45:38,520 stasis is a lot of hard work I mean it 1095 00:45:43,790 --> 00:45:41,339 requires a lot of hard work yes no 1096 00:45:45,770 --> 00:45:43,800 that's lovely yeah 1097 00:45:47,750 --> 00:45:45,780 so what do you all Mike what are you 1098 00:45:49,849 --> 00:45:47,760 working on next year 1099 00:45:52,490 --> 00:45:49,859 oh what are you most excited about and 1100 00:45:54,950 --> 00:45:52,500 then also I wanted this to be it's so 1101 00:45:57,230 --> 00:45:54,960 hilarious because this is supposed to be 1102 00:45:59,270 --> 00:45:57,240 like we all come into a pub and we just 1103 00:46:00,710 --> 00:45:59,280 drink some beer we just relax and then 1104 00:46:02,930 --> 00:46:00,720 this is like the deepest philosophical 1105 00:46:05,770 --> 00:46:02,940 conversation that someone said we're 1106 00:46:10,130 --> 00:46:05,780 just moving Humanity forward at a bar 1107 00:46:12,109 --> 00:46:10,140 so so anyway oh okay yeah please talk 1108 00:46:14,870 --> 00:46:12,119 about what you're up to next year Mike 1109 00:46:17,870 --> 00:46:14,880 and I'm letting in Don Hoffman Don the 1110 00:46:23,089 --> 00:46:17,880 incredible Dawn ah hey Don good to see 1111 00:46:25,130 --> 00:46:23,099 you guys I and Mike wow hello Don hello 1112 00:46:26,569 --> 00:46:25,140 so I want to know what each of you are 1113 00:46:28,130 --> 00:46:26,579 up to next year if you could briefly 1114 00:46:30,650 --> 00:46:28,140 outline that and then just and then I'll 1115 00:46:32,750 --> 00:46:30,660 shut my mouth 1116 00:46:35,270 --> 00:46:32,760 starting with Mike if you don't mind 1117 00:46:37,130 --> 00:46:35,280 sure um wow uh let's see well we have we 1118 00:46:41,270 --> 00:46:37,140 have lots of lots of things going on in 1119 00:46:43,670 --> 00:46:41,280 our group um we have uh efforts in uh 1120 00:46:46,430 --> 00:46:43,680 regenerative biology of course trying to 1121 00:46:48,410 --> 00:46:46,440 uh really get better at uh convincing 1122 00:46:51,170 --> 00:46:48,420 cells to do what we want them to do 1123 00:46:54,230 --> 00:46:51,180 which is to rebuild the complex organs 1124 00:46:56,030 --> 00:46:54,240 um and appendages we have uh we have 1125 00:46:59,329 --> 00:46:56,040 efforts in in cancer and trying to 1126 00:47:02,270 --> 00:46:59,339 reverse the kind of loss of 1127 00:47:04,550 --> 00:47:02,280 um that basically you know we we view 1128 00:47:06,410 --> 00:47:04,560 cancer as a kind of uh shrinking of the 1129 00:47:08,150 --> 00:47:06,420 computational boundary between the the 1130 00:47:09,950 --> 00:47:08,160 self and the outside world and so when 1131 00:47:11,510 --> 00:47:09,960 cells you know okay when that boundary 1132 00:47:13,370 --> 00:47:11,520 shrinks to the level of single cells 1133 00:47:14,809 --> 00:47:13,380 they treat the rest of the body as just 1134 00:47:16,790 --> 00:47:14,819 external environment and so we're trying 1135 00:47:18,589 --> 00:47:16,800 to re-inflate that and get them back to 1136 00:47:20,210 --> 00:47:18,599 thinking about big goals in terms of 1137 00:47:21,950 --> 00:47:20,220 building organs and healthy tissues and 1138 00:47:23,450 --> 00:47:21,960 things like that so so we have some some 1139 00:47:26,030 --> 00:47:23,460 continued efforts we've done this in 1140 00:47:28,790 --> 00:47:26,040 frog years for years we're now in human 1141 00:47:31,130 --> 00:47:28,800 cells and so so we're trying to 1142 00:47:32,930 --> 00:47:31,140 hopefully push that push that along and 1143 00:47:35,569 --> 00:47:32,940 we have we have we have also some uh 1144 00:47:37,670 --> 00:47:35,579 some efforts in um in Ai and looking at 1145 00:47:41,210 --> 00:47:37,680 just taking some of the things we've 1146 00:47:43,309 --> 00:47:41,220 learned in in biology uh to build novel 1147 00:47:45,589 --> 00:47:43,319 uh novel synthetic intelligences that 1148 00:47:47,150 --> 00:47:45,599 are not neuromorphic not built on human 1149 00:47:48,890 --> 00:47:47,160 brain architecture but just you know 1150 00:47:50,329 --> 00:47:48,900 everything from slime molds to cell 1151 00:47:51,349 --> 00:47:50,339 groups and so on 1152 00:47:53,030 --> 00:47:51,359 um and of course some of the some of the 1153 00:47:54,349 --> 00:47:53,040 consent actual stuff too so so there 1154 00:47:56,450 --> 00:47:54,359 will be some stuff coming out one thing 1155 00:47:57,770 --> 00:47:56,460 I'm particularly excited about is kind 1156 00:47:59,870 --> 00:47:57,780 of this this effort we were just talking 1157 00:48:01,790 --> 00:47:59,880 about this with Ian this really really 1158 00:48:05,390 --> 00:48:01,800 trying to tell a story of the very 1159 00:48:07,010 --> 00:48:05,400 earliest boot up of a uh of a of a 1160 00:48:08,809 --> 00:48:07,020 proto-cognitive agent what are the very 1161 00:48:11,270 --> 00:48:08,819 first steps that happened when a new 1162 00:48:13,309 --> 00:48:11,280 being enters the enters the world so to 1163 00:48:14,930 --> 00:48:13,319 speak so how do you go from from you 1164 00:48:17,930 --> 00:48:14,940 know the chemistry of 1165 00:48:19,490 --> 00:48:17,940 field of of cells to an embryo or a 1166 00:48:20,809 --> 00:48:19,500 robot that's active in the world or 1167 00:48:22,370 --> 00:48:20,819 something but like what are the earliest 1168 00:48:25,010 --> 00:48:22,380 steps of that so I think we could tell 1169 00:48:28,609 --> 00:48:25,020 an interesting story about that so 1170 00:48:32,390 --> 00:48:28,619 well Don is here everyone 1171 00:48:34,910 --> 00:48:32,400 Don Hoffman Don mute Ian and meet Mike I 1172 00:48:36,770 --> 00:48:34,920 know you've met each other before but we 1173 00:48:41,450 --> 00:48:36,780 have a jockey here who has the sound 1174 00:48:43,730 --> 00:48:41,460 effects so thank you Sam yep so don don 1175 00:48:45,349 --> 00:48:43,740 has a book called the case against 1176 00:48:46,609 --> 00:48:45,359 reality the links for all of this will 1177 00:48:48,890 --> 00:48:46,619 be in the description 1178 00:48:51,290 --> 00:48:48,900 so don please take it away I want to 1179 00:48:52,250 --> 00:48:51,300 hear from you please I'm gonna shut my 1180 00:48:54,890 --> 00:48:52,260 mouth 1181 00:48:59,349 --> 00:48:54,900 but as Ian already told us what he's up 1182 00:49:06,050 --> 00:49:02,890 I'm an old guy I'm retired I'm I'm I'm 1183 00:49:09,890 --> 00:49:06,060 uh you know harrowing my soul to meet 1184 00:49:12,170 --> 00:49:09,900 the next World I'm doing I I'm I'm on to 1185 00:49:15,890 --> 00:49:12,180 small projects I'm through with very 1186 00:49:18,770 --> 00:49:15,900 very very big ones that's me 1187 00:49:22,910 --> 00:49:20,349 I'm there too 1188 00:49:24,530 --> 00:49:22,920 I'm retired as well 1189 00:49:27,950 --> 00:49:24,540 yeah good 1190 00:49:30,770 --> 00:49:27,960 yeah but but I'm still doing some some 1191 00:49:32,750 --> 00:49:30,780 some big projects the the thing I'm we 1192 00:49:35,510 --> 00:49:32,760 just had with paper accepted just the 1193 00:49:38,270 --> 00:49:35,520 last couple days for a publication on 1194 00:49:41,450 --> 00:49:38,280 uh with minor revisions that we're 1195 00:49:43,190 --> 00:49:41,460 finishing up it's it's a paper that is 1196 00:49:45,950 --> 00:49:43,200 trying to 1197 00:49:49,609 --> 00:49:45,960 to connect Consciousness with physics in 1198 00:49:52,250 --> 00:49:49,619 a rigorous fashion so the physicists 1199 00:49:53,630 --> 00:49:52,260 have discovered that space and time are 1200 00:49:56,809 --> 00:49:53,640 not fundamental 1201 00:50:00,109 --> 00:49:56,819 as David Gross the Nobel Prize winner 1202 00:50:02,870 --> 00:50:00,119 put it in 2005 space-time is doomed and 1203 00:50:06,109 --> 00:50:02,880 he gave reasons why space-time is doomed 1204 00:50:08,450 --> 00:50:06,119 and so the Hunt is on for structures 1205 00:50:09,890 --> 00:50:08,460 Beyond space-time and just the last 1206 00:50:13,430 --> 00:50:09,900 eight years 1207 00:50:14,510 --> 00:50:13,440 they found them they've uh in 2014 they 1208 00:50:18,050 --> 00:50:14,520 published something called the 1209 00:50:19,730 --> 00:50:18,060 amplitudehedron and uh 1210 00:50:21,349 --> 00:50:19,740 decorated permutations these are 1211 00:50:22,970 --> 00:50:21,359 structures not inside space-time they're 1212 00:50:25,069 --> 00:50:22,980 not curled up inside little dimensions 1213 00:50:28,670 --> 00:50:25,079 of space-time these are structures 1214 00:50:31,370 --> 00:50:28,680 utterly and completely Beyond space-time 1215 00:50:33,829 --> 00:50:31,380 and space-time is a trivial projection 1216 00:50:37,250 --> 00:50:33,839 of these deeper structures and you get 1217 00:50:38,990 --> 00:50:37,260 Quantum field Theory computations uh 1218 00:50:40,970 --> 00:50:39,000 becoming much more simple when you let 1219 00:50:43,490 --> 00:50:40,980 go of space-time Quantum field 1220 00:50:45,230 --> 00:50:43,500 computations become trivial and you see 1221 00:50:46,430 --> 00:50:45,240 new symmetries in scattering amplitude 1222 00:50:49,069 --> 00:50:46,440 data that you couldn't see inside 1223 00:50:51,349 --> 00:50:49,079 space-time so it's really over for space 1224 00:50:52,910 --> 00:50:51,359 time and and the Gold Rush is on to find 1225 00:50:54,589 --> 00:50:52,920 out what's beyond space-time and they're 1226 00:50:57,370 --> 00:50:54,599 finding some some wonderful stuff so 1227 00:50:59,809 --> 00:50:57,380 this is all in the last decade that that 1228 00:51:01,309 --> 00:50:59,819 physic at least high energy physics you 1229 00:51:03,290 --> 00:51:01,319 know a lot of there's still a lot of 1230 00:51:05,510 --> 00:51:03,300 people doing space-time physics of 1231 00:51:07,150 --> 00:51:05,520 course but but the high energy people 1232 00:51:10,250 --> 00:51:07,160 um who who are the ones who really need 1233 00:51:12,829 --> 00:51:10,260 the better tools they're they're done 1234 00:51:14,210 --> 00:51:12,839 with space time they're beyond it 1235 00:51:17,089 --> 00:51:14,220 so 1236 00:51:19,370 --> 00:51:17,099 this gave us an opening we said look the 1237 00:51:21,049 --> 00:51:19,380 physicists 1238 00:51:22,970 --> 00:51:21,059 um say the space time was doomed we've 1239 00:51:25,549 --> 00:51:22,980 been saying that from our own points of 1240 00:51:27,290 --> 00:51:25,559 view about Consciousness and they they 1241 00:51:29,930 --> 00:51:27,300 give us a structure beyond space times 1242 00:51:31,490 --> 00:51:29,940 that they found so I said let's connect 1243 00:51:33,290 --> 00:51:31,500 with that if can we take our 1244 00:51:35,450 --> 00:51:33,300 mathematical model of conscious agents 1245 00:51:38,690 --> 00:51:35,460 and connect with this structure Beyond 1246 00:51:41,270 --> 00:51:38,700 space-time so decided to try doing that 1247 00:51:43,609 --> 00:51:41,280 doing that about six months ago and we 1248 00:51:45,950 --> 00:51:43,619 we did it we found 1249 00:51:48,410 --> 00:51:45,960 um the decorative permutations it turns 1250 00:51:51,109 --> 00:51:48,420 out um we discovered that there's a 1251 00:51:53,089 --> 00:51:51,119 canonical way to take markovian Dynamics 1252 00:51:55,130 --> 00:51:53,099 and project them onto decorated 1253 00:51:57,410 --> 00:51:55,140 permutations so that was apparently a 1254 00:51:58,490 --> 00:51:57,420 new contribution to the mathematics it 1255 00:52:00,470 --> 00:51:58,500 was the one that we needed to make 1256 00:52:01,430 --> 00:52:00,480 because our dynamics of conscious agents 1257 00:52:05,630 --> 00:52:01,440 is 1258 00:52:07,130 --> 00:52:05,640 markovian so so we the paper just got 1259 00:52:08,930 --> 00:52:07,140 accepted it shows how to take our 1260 00:52:11,150 --> 00:52:08,940 malkovian dynamics of conscious agents 1261 00:52:14,030 --> 00:52:11,160 project it down into space into 1262 00:52:15,710 --> 00:52:14,040 space-time using decorated permutations 1263 00:52:17,470 --> 00:52:15,720 um with this new map that we came up 1264 00:52:20,510 --> 00:52:17,480 with Wow 1265 00:52:23,510 --> 00:52:20,520 we make a new postulate and then I'll 1266 00:52:25,430 --> 00:52:23,520 stop and I'll our postulate is that we 1267 00:52:29,329 --> 00:52:25,440 propose that a particle is based on an 1268 00:52:30,470 --> 00:52:29,339 elementary particle like bosons leptons 1269 00:52:32,750 --> 00:52:30,480 and quarks those are the current 1270 00:52:35,329 --> 00:52:32,760 elementary particles that those are 1271 00:52:36,950 --> 00:52:35,339 actually projections of so-called 1272 00:52:39,349 --> 00:52:36,960 communicating classes of conscious 1273 00:52:41,210 --> 00:52:39,359 agents and that that particular proposal 1274 00:52:43,549 --> 00:52:41,220 is is precisely because of this mapping 1275 00:52:44,990 --> 00:52:43,559 with decorated permutations it dictates 1276 00:52:48,650 --> 00:52:45,000 that that has to be the the 1277 00:52:51,049 --> 00:52:48,660 correspondence particles are projections 1278 00:52:53,270 --> 00:52:51,059 of communicating classes of markovian 1279 00:52:56,510 --> 00:52:53,280 Dynamics so so we're now working on the 1280 00:53:00,109 --> 00:52:56,520 follow-up paper now is to get momentum 1281 00:53:01,790 --> 00:53:00,119 Mass spin all these things come porting 1282 00:53:04,069 --> 00:53:01,800 down from the theory of conscious agents 1283 00:53:06,349 --> 00:53:04,079 into space-time and predicting specific 1284 00:53:08,569 --> 00:53:06,359 scattering amplitudes with specific 1285 00:53:10,250 --> 00:53:08,579 dynamics of conscious agents so it's 1286 00:53:13,609 --> 00:53:10,260 it's conscious imperialism we want to 1287 00:53:15,410 --> 00:53:13,619 show that all of physics starts is just 1288 00:53:17,270 --> 00:53:15,420 a projection in fact not just a 1289 00:53:19,309 --> 00:53:17,280 projection it's an artifact of the 1290 00:53:21,770 --> 00:53:19,319 projection of Consciousness even our 1291 00:53:23,750 --> 00:53:21,780 perception of particles is an artifact 1292 00:53:25,430 --> 00:53:23,760 of projection not an insight into the 1293 00:53:27,890 --> 00:53:25,440 deep properties of reality so that's 1294 00:53:29,470 --> 00:53:27,900 that's that's that's fun 1295 00:53:33,109 --> 00:53:29,480 wow 1296 00:53:36,170 --> 00:53:33,119 what would you say it's very impressive 1297 00:53:38,210 --> 00:53:36,180 what you say Don and I I don't um I 1298 00:53:40,549 --> 00:53:38,220 haven't the advantage of having been 1299 00:53:42,710 --> 00:53:40,559 able to research what you're researching 1300 00:53:46,190 --> 00:53:42,720 and I may might well not understand it 1301 00:53:49,730 --> 00:53:46,200 if I tried but what would you say 1302 00:53:52,670 --> 00:53:49,740 to the idea that this looks like a 1303 00:53:54,589 --> 00:53:52,680 process whereby everything of reality is 1304 00:53:56,030 --> 00:53:54,599 stripped away and this is of course your 1305 00:53:56,930 --> 00:53:56,040 title 1306 00:54:00,490 --> 00:53:56,940 um 1307 00:54:04,609 --> 00:54:00,500 and this leaves the ordinary person 1308 00:54:06,530 --> 00:54:04,619 philosopher physicist or simply 1309 00:54:09,170 --> 00:54:06,540 um the everyday guy on the Clapping 1310 00:54:11,270 --> 00:54:09,180 order but with a problem which is that 1311 00:54:13,790 --> 00:54:11,280 something is must be considered more 1312 00:54:15,950 --> 00:54:13,800 real than others and there must be 1313 00:54:18,470 --> 00:54:15,960 something that our Consciousness has 1314 00:54:21,290 --> 00:54:18,480 some awareness of other than purely 1315 00:54:23,510 --> 00:54:21,300 itself this process seems like one in 1316 00:54:25,490 --> 00:54:23,520 which you have done what Burton Russell 1317 00:54:28,430 --> 00:54:25,500 said mathematics and physics did which 1318 00:54:30,950 --> 00:54:28,440 was simply to strip all the reality from 1319 00:54:33,890 --> 00:54:30,960 the world from the cosmos and produce a 1320 00:54:35,870 --> 00:54:33,900 very thin texture of equations and 1321 00:54:38,690 --> 00:54:35,880 numbers now if you do that then you go 1322 00:54:41,870 --> 00:54:38,700 oh goodness realities disappeared I I 1323 00:54:43,670 --> 00:54:41,880 find this a little bit worrying because 1324 00:54:44,690 --> 00:54:43,680 I don't know how you can even say 1325 00:54:47,390 --> 00:54:44,700 anything 1326 00:54:50,930 --> 00:54:47,400 in English rather than just an equation 1327 00:54:53,690 --> 00:54:50,940 without involving space and time 1328 00:54:55,849 --> 00:54:53,700 at space and time are the fundamental 1329 00:54:56,569 --> 00:54:55,859 ways in which we structure everything we 1330 00:54:59,089 --> 00:54:56,579 think 1331 00:55:00,950 --> 00:54:59,099 and so yes of course you can invent an 1332 00:55:02,750 --> 00:55:00,960 abstract platonic realm in which 1333 00:55:04,910 --> 00:55:02,760 everything's been disappeared by some 1334 00:55:07,549 --> 00:55:04,920 clever Mass but I suspect this is not 1335 00:55:10,309 --> 00:55:07,559 getting closer to a truth but further 1336 00:55:13,130 --> 00:55:10,319 and further away from it I'm a follower 1337 00:55:14,870 --> 00:55:13,140 of Lees Mullins who says I mean he's a 1338 00:55:16,790 --> 00:55:14,880 great physicist it can't be dismissed 1339 00:55:19,549 --> 00:55:16,800 who thinks there is nothing more real 1340 00:55:21,049 --> 00:55:19,559 than time unless we'd start dismissing 1341 00:55:22,430 --> 00:55:21,059 time you've you've lost the plot 1342 00:55:25,849 --> 00:55:22,440 basically 1343 00:55:29,150 --> 00:55:25,859 right right so so those are of course 1344 00:55:31,309 --> 00:55:29,160 very very natural objections to raise 1345 00:55:34,130 --> 00:55:31,319 um and so I would respond in two 1346 00:55:35,990 --> 00:55:34,140 different directions one is that um 1347 00:55:39,589 --> 00:55:36,000 for the physicists who are doing this 1348 00:55:43,190 --> 00:55:39,599 right they what they're finding is that 1349 00:55:45,349 --> 00:55:43,200 it's space time that is full of 1350 00:55:48,230 --> 00:55:45,359 unrealities 1351 00:55:50,410 --> 00:55:48,240 for example the the 1352 00:55:53,510 --> 00:55:50,420 the ghostly particles that that you get 1353 00:55:55,370 --> 00:55:53,520 from infinement diagrams so you these 1354 00:55:56,569 --> 00:55:55,380 virtual particles that that are created 1355 00:55:58,069 --> 00:55:56,579 and annihilated and you have to add them 1356 00:56:00,410 --> 00:55:58,079 all up to get these scattering 1357 00:56:02,510 --> 00:56:00,420 amplitudes it turns out that they're not 1358 00:56:04,730 --> 00:56:02,520 needed and and that they're just a 1359 00:56:06,650 --> 00:56:04,740 distraction when you let go of them then 1360 00:56:08,270 --> 00:56:06,660 hundreds of pages of algebra turns into 1361 00:56:09,650 --> 00:56:08,280 three terms that you can compute by hand 1362 00:56:12,410 --> 00:56:09,660 and you get the right scattering 1363 00:56:15,049 --> 00:56:12,420 amplitudes so so space time is actually 1364 00:56:17,990 --> 00:56:15,059 hiding the truth it's not showing you 1365 00:56:19,549 --> 00:56:18,000 the truth it's actually and the ghost 1366 00:56:23,030 --> 00:56:19,559 particles that you know we get the final 1367 00:56:25,069 --> 00:56:23,040 diagrams are are literally just nonsense 1368 00:56:26,630 --> 00:56:25,079 and not needed so when you get rid of 1369 00:56:28,790 --> 00:56:26,640 them and then you're finding new 1370 00:56:30,950 --> 00:56:28,800 symmetries that are true so you're 1371 00:56:32,569 --> 00:56:30,960 finding that something called the 1372 00:56:34,730 --> 00:56:32,579 infinite yanging symmetry is actually 1373 00:56:36,829 --> 00:56:34,740 true of our observations that the 1374 00:56:39,109 --> 00:56:36,839 colliders and you cannot see that 1375 00:56:41,750 --> 00:56:39,119 directly in space-time it can't be 1376 00:56:43,370 --> 00:56:41,760 represented in space-time so on the 1377 00:56:45,589 --> 00:56:43,380 physics side what they're finding is 1378 00:56:47,270 --> 00:56:45,599 letting go of space-time is actually 1379 00:56:49,730 --> 00:56:47,280 getting them closer to some quote 1380 00:56:50,870 --> 00:56:49,740 unquote truth not not further and and 1381 00:56:53,569 --> 00:56:50,880 they're finding out what parts of 1382 00:56:55,309 --> 00:56:53,579 space-time are irrelevant that but from 1383 00:56:56,690 --> 00:56:55,319 a now from a phenomenological 1384 00:56:58,250 --> 00:56:56,700 perspective and a psychological 1385 00:57:00,470 --> 00:56:58,260 perspective 1386 00:57:02,210 --> 00:57:00,480 um our theory of conscious agents 1387 00:57:04,190 --> 00:57:02,220 um takes conscious experiences at 1388 00:57:06,829 --> 00:57:04,200 firsthand it says conscious experiences 1389 00:57:09,410 --> 00:57:06,839 are real a headache is a real experience 1390 00:57:11,870 --> 00:57:09,420 and and so our experiences are not 1391 00:57:13,790 --> 00:57:11,880 dismissed uh and that's so in fact we 1392 00:57:16,790 --> 00:57:13,800 take them as fundamental 1393 00:57:18,950 --> 00:57:16,800 and so in some sense our approach to 1394 00:57:21,530 --> 00:57:18,960 conscious experiences 1395 00:57:23,390 --> 00:57:21,540 um takes them as as more Central and 1396 00:57:25,250 --> 00:57:23,400 more real than most physicalist 1397 00:57:26,990 --> 00:57:25,260 approaches where they say that you know 1398 00:57:28,670 --> 00:57:27,000 the brain is fundamental and brain 1399 00:57:31,490 --> 00:57:28,680 activity gives rise to the conscious 1400 00:57:33,170 --> 00:57:31,500 experiences and and really conscious 1401 00:57:34,910 --> 00:57:33,180 experience are nothing but brain 1402 00:57:37,490 --> 00:57:34,920 activity 1403 00:57:40,609 --> 00:57:37,500 um represented in certain ways and and I 1404 00:57:42,710 --> 00:57:40,619 say uh well those theories have failed 1405 00:57:45,470 --> 00:57:42,720 to explain even one specific conscious 1406 00:57:46,990 --> 00:57:45,480 experience there's no 1407 00:57:49,190 --> 00:57:47,000 um 1408 00:57:54,730 --> 00:57:49,200 chocolate there's

interesting thing to do on 1528 01:02:22,250 --> 01:02:20,880 on a Christmas Vacation 1529 01:02:23,750 --> 01:02:22,260 hmm 1530 01:02:26,210 --> 01:02:23,760 what what's one of your earliest 1531 01:02:30,109 --> 01:02:26,220 memories Don 1532 01:02:32,450 --> 01:02:30,119 my very earliest is when I was not yet 1533 01:02:34,730 --> 01:02:32,460 four years old again my sister was about 1534 01:02:36,289 --> 01:02:34,740 to be born and I was in the hospital and 1535 01:02:37,730 --> 01:02:36,299 I I knew I was going to have a baby 1536 01:02:39,829 --> 01:02:37,740 sister and I knew that was something 1537 01:02:42,049 --> 01:02:39,839 really good and I was really excited 1538 01:02:43,549 --> 01:02:42,059 about it and I was telling everybody in 1539 01:02:45,109 --> 01:02:43,559 the waiting room how proud I was I was 1540 01:02:46,789 --> 01:02:45,119 going to be a big brother and had a 1541 01:02:49,250 --> 01:02:46,799 little sister that that's why that's my 1542 01:02:50,990 --> 01:02:49,260 very earliest childhood memory so my 1543 01:02:53,750 --> 01:02:51,000 sister likes to hear that that was my 1544 01:02:55,730 --> 01:02:53,760 earliest childhood memory oh that's nice 1545 01:02:58,190 --> 01:02:55,740 that's nice you weren't jealous that you 1546 01:03:01,270 --> 01:02:58,200 were having a little baby sister well um 1547 01:03:04,549 --> 01:03:01,280 my parents I also have a younger brother 1548 01:03:06,589 --> 01:03:04,559 who's just a you're you're in a quarter 1549 01:03:08,690 --> 01:03:06,599 younger than me and apparently I was 1550 01:03:10,490 --> 01:03:08,700 very very happy to have them until they 1551 01:03:12,530 --> 01:03:10,500 were old enough to play with my toys and 1552 01:03:14,510 --> 01:03:12,540 then I was not very happy with them 1553 01:03:16,069 --> 01:03:14,520 so 1554 01:03:18,650 --> 01:03:16,079 Mike if you don't mind me asking what's 1555 01:03:20,990 --> 01:03:18,660 one of your earliest memories 1556 01:03:22,250 --> 01:03:21,000 um I I have some earlier ones but but of 1557 01:03:23,750 --> 01:03:22,260 course I can't be sure I'll tell you 1558 01:03:26,030 --> 01:03:23,760 I'll tell you kind of a weird one that 1559 01:03:28,130 --> 01:03:26,040 has been corroborated by my parents so I 1560 01:03:29,990 --> 01:03:28,140 have some some measure of confidence in 1561 01:03:32,750 --> 01:03:30,000 this one sure I was I was very young 1562 01:03:36,470 --> 01:03:32,760 maybe three or something like that maybe 1563 01:03:38,750 --> 01:03:36,480 four and uh I I sort of became really 1564 01:03:40,670 --> 01:03:38,760 fascinated with what was inside my body 1565 01:03:43,190 --> 01:03:40,680 like like what's inside there you know 1566 01:03:44,990 --> 01:03:43,200 and of course we have no way to get in 1567 01:03:46,549 --> 01:03:45,000 there but but I thought I'd heard or 1568 01:03:48,109 --> 01:03:46,559 seen something about fishing and this 1569 01:03:49,430 --> 01:03:48,119 idea that you know you sort of toss this 1570 01:03:51,650 --> 01:03:49,440 thing and you could pull stuff out of a 1571 01:03:54,349 --> 01:03:51,660 river and so what I did I got up um I 1572 01:03:55,970 --> 01:03:54,359 got a spool of uh of sewing thread and I 1573 01:03:58,609 --> 01:03:55,980 just and I just started swallowing this 1574 01:04:00,789 --> 01:03:58,619 thread on the theory right on the theory 1575 01:04:04,069 --> 01:04:00,799 that at some point I would bring it out 1576 01:04:06,410 --> 01:04:04,079 three four something like that and uh 1577 01:04:08,210 --> 01:04:06,420 yeah and I just you know I just started 1578 01:04:09,470 --> 01:04:08,220 all right I just started unwinding this 1579 01:04:11,150 --> 01:04:09,480 thread on the theory that at some point 1580 01:04:12,470 --> 01:04:11,160 I'd pull it out and and see what was on 1581 01:04:14,329 --> 01:04:12,480 the other end I thought I would fish out 1582 01:04:16,069 --> 01:04:14,339 this like I remember having this this 1583 01:04:17,150 --> 01:04:16,079 thought that well you know maybe this 1584 01:04:18,710 --> 01:04:17,160 fishing thing that you know there's 1585 01:04:20,089 --> 01:04:18,720 something to this and and maybe I could 1586 01:04:22,250 --> 01:04:20,099 like kind of figure out what's in there 1587 01:04:23,450 --> 01:04:22,260 I don't I I don't remember what I 1588 01:04:25,010 --> 01:04:23,460 thought was going to be you know what 1589 01:04:26,270 --> 01:04:25,020 was going to come up or what it didn't 1590 01:04:28,789 --> 01:04:26,280 of course lead to anything anything 1591 01:04:32,150 --> 01:04:28,799 positive but um but there you go that's 1592 01:04:34,010 --> 01:04:32,160 that's an early memory 1593 01:04:36,109 --> 01:04:34,020 that's great Carlos what about you 1594 01:04:37,970 --> 01:04:36,119 yeah I think I actually had a very 1595 01:04:39,289 --> 01:04:37,980 similar fascination with the with the 1596 01:04:41,510 --> 01:04:39,299 working of the body I think that's one 1597 01:04:43,670 --> 01:04:41,520 of my earliest sort of intellectual kind 1598 01:04:46,490 --> 01:04:43,680 of curiosity kind of like Memories 1599 01:04:47,750 --> 01:04:46,500 around saying h45 maybe like how does 1600 01:04:49,010 --> 01:04:47,760 this work 1601 01:04:51,230 --> 01:04:49,020 um I will go into details because 1602 01:04:53,089 --> 01:04:51,240 unfortunately the the thing that was 1603 01:04:55,370 --> 01:04:53,099 obsessing me at the time is not very PG 1604 01:04:57,109 --> 01:04:55,380 friendly but uh let's just put it that 1605 01:04:59,270 --> 01:04:57,119 it was to do with the logistics and 1606 01:05:02,210 --> 01:04:59,280 mechanics of reproduction and I just 1607 01:05:03,770 --> 01:05:02,220 didn't understand

new 1738 01:09:56,390 --> 01:09:54,120 organization we're setting up where we 1739 01:09:58,610 --> 01:09:56,400 actually Mike 11 was uh was giving a 1740 01:10:00,350 --> 01:09:58,620 talk a few months ago we tried to bring 1741 01:10:02,209 --> 01:10:00,360 as many different perspectives as 1742 01:10:04,610 --> 01:10:02,219 possible to deal with you know Central 1743 01:10:05,990 --> 01:10:04,620 Concepts like space a few months ago we 1744 01:10:08,150 --> 01:10:06,000 had the concept of space and we had you 1745 01:10:10,250 --> 01:10:08,160 know mathematicians business but also 1746 01:10:11,330 --> 01:10:10,260 psychologists biologists 1747 01:10:12,709 --> 01:10:11,340 um you know people people from 1748 01:10:14,450 --> 01:10:12,719 Humanities and so on bringing 1749 01:10:16,669 --> 01:10:14,460 perspectives to have this sort of 1750 01:10:19,510 --> 01:10:16,679 melting pot of traditions of different 1751 01:10:21,649 --> 01:10:19,520 ideas and so on WOW 1752 01:10:22,970 --> 01:10:21,659 that that sounds like something that 1753 01:10:25,250 --> 01:10:22,980 would require a two or three hour 1754 01:10:28,189 --> 01:10:25,260 podcast just explain to me properly what 1755 01:10:29,510 --> 01:10:28,199 exactly it was and uh something that I 1756 01:10:30,950 --> 01:10:29,520 would listen to more than be involved in 1757 01:10:33,770 --> 01:10:30,960 but that sounds really cool I just talk 1758 01:10:35,450 --> 01:10:33,780 about UFOs so um yeah I know Dan was 1759 01:10:37,610 --> 01:10:35,460 going to be on at the same time but Kirk 1760

Stanford I 1813 01:12:41,870 --> 01:12:40,440 believe specializing in molecular 1814 01:12:43,430 --> 01:12:41,880 biology it could be incorrect about that 1815 01:12:46,070 --> 01:12:43,440 or the biomedical 1816 01:12:47,870 --> 01:12:46,080 oh here we go here's someone who will 1817 01:12:50,630 --> 01:12:47,880 correct me Ben 1818 01:12:52,790 --> 01:12:50,640 oh how's it going 1819

figure out which of 1829 01:13:28,189 --> 01:13:24,900 the many microphones sitting around here 1830 01:13:29,390 --> 01:13:28,199 around here yes please do yeah I've been 1831 01:13:30,649 --> 01:13:29,400 doing the same thing for the past 10 1832 01:13:34,729 --> 01:13:30,659 minutes 1833 01:13:38,030 --> 01:13:34,739 and and John vervaki John verbaki has a 1834 01:13:43,430 --> 01:13:40,669 after Socrates if I'm not in if I'm not 1835 01:13:46,669 --> 01:13:43,440 mistaken is that correct John yep the 1836 01:13:47,870 --> 01:13:46,679 new series comes out January 9th on my 1837 01:13:52,070 --> 01:13:47,880 YouTube channel it's called after 1838 01:13:52,850 --> 01:13:52,080 Socrates and it's uh all about 1839 01:13:55,130 --> 01:13:52,860 um 1840 01:13:57,350 --> 01:13:55,140 uh being after Socrates in multiple ways 1841 01:13:59,090 --> 01:13:57,360 uh try to catch up with him where he's 1842 01:14:00,890 --> 01:13:59,100 taken us 1843 01:14:02,750 --> 01:14:00,900 um trying to learn how to live a 1844 01:14:04,790 --> 01:14:02,760 Socratic life so in addition to like 1845 01:14:07,270 --> 01:14:04,800 Awakening for the meeting crisis which 1846 01:14:10,070 --> 01:14:07,280 is a continuous argument lecture series 1847 01:14:12,290 --> 01:14:10,080 uh there will also be points to ponder 1848 01:14:14,450 --> 01:14:12,300 which you can reflect upon individually 1849 01:14:17,410 --> 01:14:14,460 or I encourage people to get into a 1850 01:14:20,090 --> 01:14:17,420 group discussion about it and 1851 01:14:22,070 --> 01:14:20,100 most importantly there'll be a 1852 01:14:26,030 --> 01:14:22,080 pedagogical program of practices that 1853 01:14:28,070 --> 01:14:26,040 goes along with uh uh every lecture so 1854 01:14:29,750 --> 01:14:28,080 at the end of every lecture I'll then 1855 01:14:32,030 --> 01:14:29,760 teach a practice that goes along with it 1856 01:14:34,669 --> 01:14:32,040 the practices build on each other like 1857 01:14:37,070 --> 01:14:34,679 the lectures do and the the idea is to 1858 01:14:40,550 --> 01:14:37,080 give you a an exposure to a rich Ecology 1859 01:14:42,350 --> 01:14:40,560 of practices that uh will enable you to 1860 01:14:44,870 --> 01:14:42,360 live the socratic life and really get a 1861 01:14:47,149 --> 01:14:44,880 sense of respectival and participatory 1862 01:14:50,930 --> 01:14:47,159 you may have heard of those sense of 1863 01:14:53,510 --> 01:14:50,940 what it is to live a Socratic life 1864 01:14:55,189 --> 01:14:53,520 well thank you John thank you thank you 1865 01:14:58,490 --> 01:14:55,199 Gary so 1866 01:14:59,149 --> 01:14:58,500 this was this is just us coming into a 1867 01:15:01,370 --> 01:14:59,159 pub 1868 01:15:05,270 --> 01:15:01,380 I know John you just went in deep like 1869 01:15:07,010 --> 01:15:05,280 you just went into the philosophical 1870 01:15:09,770 --> 01:15:07,020 deep end and 1871 01:15:10,870 --> 01:15:09,780 just I wish we had

1890 01:15:52,669 --> 01:15:51,300 Toronto it said 13 I don't think it's 1891 01:15:54,709 --> 01:15:52,679 ever hit this before 1892 01:15:56,630 --> 01:15:54,719 yeah 1893 01:15:58,910 --> 01:15:56,640 Gary what's what's been your holiday 1894 01:16:10,030 --> 01:15:58,920 what's your holiday been like 1895 01:16:24,229 --> 01:16:12,020 so what were you up to 1896 01:16:29,270 --> 01:16:26,090 um actually uh working up some of the 1897 01:16:32,209 --> 01:16:29,280 next steps for the UAP studies in my lab 1898 01:16:36,290 --> 01:16:32,219 uh we actually were down at uh at a 1899 01:16:39,830 --> 01:16:36,300 high-tech uh Imaging facility in uh 1900 01:16:43,070 --> 01:16:39,840 in San Jose uh to do some Imaging at the 1901 01:16:45,110 --> 01:16:43,080 atomic level for some materials uh that 1902 01:16:46,490 --> 01:16:45,120 we've got for the new instrument it's 1903 01:16:48,470 --> 01:16:46,500 the beginnings of the new instrument 1904 01:16:50,330 --> 01:16:48,480 that we're making for Imaging material 1905 01:16:51,890 --> 01:16:50,340 at the atomic level 1906 01:16:54,950 --> 01:16:51,900 because I figure that that's one way to 1907 01:16:57,470 --> 01:16:54,960 if you want to look for a a Smoking Gun 1908 01:16:59,209 --> 01:16:57,480 you want to find things that are made in 1909 01:17:01,130 --> 01:16:59,219 a way that nobody else understands how 1910 01:17:03,590 --> 01:17:01,140 to make them 1911 01:17:05,630 --> 01:17:03,600 or at the very least you can then say 1912 01:17:07,729 --> 01:17:05,640 what's in them at a much with a much 1913 01:17:08,930 --> 01:17:07,739 higher level of resolution I mean just 1914 01:17:11,090 --> 01:17:08,940 knowing that there's 1915 01:17:12,709 --> 01:17:11,100 you know silicon and germanium or 1916 01:17:13,970 --> 01:17:12,719 whatever in material doesn't tell you 1917 01:17:16,370 --> 01:17:13,980 anything about where the atoms are 1918 01:17:20,390 --> 01:17:18,470 Gary do you mind explaining 1919 01:17:21,290 --> 01:17:20,400 what you do and what your focus is to 1920 01:17:23,090 --> 01:17:21,300 John 1921 01:17:26,030 --> 01:17:23,100 I know that I'm not sure if you both 1922 01:17:28,850 --> 01:17:26,040 have met no before so this is John 1923 01:17:31,010 --> 01:17:28,860 vervaki from U of T Gary I mean sorry 1924 01:17:33,229 --> 01:17:31,020 John this is Gary from Stanford Gary 1925 01:17:36,770 --> 01:17:33,239 Nolan 1926 01:17:40,430 --> 01:17:36,780 oh my my pleasure my day job is 1927 01:17:42,890 --> 01:17:40,440 Immunology cancer Imaging algorithms for 1928 01:17:44,990 --> 01:17:42,900 interpreting bioinformatics things like 1929 01:17:46,490 --> 01:17:45,000 that uh We've spun out a number of 1930 01:17:49,130 --> 01:17:46,500 companies 1931 01:17:52,130 --> 01:17:49,140 um but you know for John and I think a 1932 01:17:54,890 --> 01:17:52,140 lot of people on the on the uh on the 1933 01:17:59,030 --> 01:17:54,900 YouTube who who know me my interest has 1934 01:18:04,310 --> 01:17:59,040 been in how to formalize research in 1935 01:18:06,890 --> 01:18:04,320 such exotic topics as uh as UAP right 1936 01:18:08,450 --> 01:18:06,900 how do you and I don't mean this in any 1937 01:18:12,050 --> 01:18:08,460 kind of a derogatory sense how do you 1938 01:18:14,990 --> 01:18:12,060 teach the lay public to ask questions 1939 01:18:17,570 --> 01:18:15,000 about science that doesn't presuppose a 1940 01:18:19,310 --> 01:18:17,580 conclusion that basically puts them in a 1941 01:18:21,950 --> 01:18:19,320 position of looking like you know being 1942 01:18:24,470 --> 01:18:21,960 made a fool of which is one you know has 1943 01:18:27,050 --> 01:18:24,480 been done for decades and across many 1944 01:18:29,450 --> 01:18:27,060 disciplines it's not just UAP so it's 1945 01:18:31,610 --> 01:18:29,460 about you know how to get people to 1946 01:18:34,310 --> 01:18:31,620 agree that the data is real and then 1947 01:18:37,370 --> 01:18:34,320 once the data is real real you can flip 1948 01:18:39,470 --> 01:18:37,380 the tables on people and say okay well I 1949 01:18:42,709 --> 01:18:39,480 don't have to explain it it's not my 1950 01:18:44,390 --> 01:18:42,719 responsibility you can't just yeah you 1951 01:18:47,149 --> 01:18:44,400 know turn down and critique everything I 1952 01:18:51,229 --> 01:18:47,159 I suggest it's the responsibility of any 1953 01:18:53,030 --> 01:18:51,239 good scientist to also suggest Solutions 1954 01:18:55,370 --> 01:18:53,040 uh so that's been you know that's been 1955 01:18:56,870 --> 01:18:55,380 one of my major ones and then the other 1956 01:18:59,270 --> 01:18:56,880 is that more recently in speaking with 1957 01:19:01,070 --> 01:18:59,280 philosophers and I wish I saw the people 1958 01:19:02,630 --> 01:19:01,080 who were on just previously you know 1959 01:19:04,669 --> 01:19:02,640 what are the burdens of proof for 1960 01:19:06,410 --> 01:19:04,679 different kinds of observations 1961 01:19:08,930 --> 01:19:06,420 you know a burden of proof for a 1962 01:19:13,070 --> 01:19:08,940 so-called experiencer is different than 1963 01:19:14,810 --> 01:19:13,080 that of a uh of a scientist but both of 1964 01:19:17,149 --> 01:19:14,820 these people want to talk to each other 1965 01:19:20,090 --> 01:19:17,159 so coming up with with a linguistic path 1966 01:19:22,490 --> 01:19:20,100 that allows them to talk to each other 1967 01:19:25,430 --> 01:19:22,500 in a way that they're not talking past 1968 01:19:26,290 --> 01:19:25,440 each other I think is important 1969 01:19:29,390 --> 01:19:26,300 um 1970 01:19:33,130 --> 01:19:29,400 very interesting uh do you talk to them 1971 01:19:36,290 --> 01:19:33,140 about issues around bias and 1972 01:19:38,930 --> 01:19:36,300 self-deception yeah oh yeah I mean 1973 01:19:41,270 --> 01:19:38,940 especially the um 1974 01:19:45,410 --> 01:19:41,280 what's it called it's uh it's a French 1975 01:19:48,649 --> 01:19:45,420 it's a French term for uh the the folio 1976 01:19:50,689 --> 01:19:48,659 do right that basically there's a you 1977 01:19:54,350 --> 01:19:50,699 know feedback mechanism between two 1978 01:19:55,850 --> 01:19:54,360 people who reinforce their delusion if 1979 01:19:57,590 --> 01:19:55,860 you will 1980 01:19:59,810 --> 01:19:57,600 um and so yeah there's a there's a lot 1981 01:20:01,729 --> 01:19:59,820 of that I mean most of the work that 1982 01:20:05,270 --> 01:20:01,739 I've done with people who are let's say 1983 01:20:06,470 --> 01:20:05,280 uh orbiting the the government uh on 1984 01:20:08,870 --> 01:20:06,480 this issue 1985 01:20:10,430 --> 01:20:08,880 um are scientists who spent a lot of 1986 01:20:13,010 --> 01:20:10,440 time especially with the psychological 1987 01:20:14,450 --> 01:20:13,020 aspects of this actually verifying that 1988 01:20:16,490 --> 01:20:14,460 the people that were collecting data 1989 01:20:19,070 --> 01:20:16,500 from don't have some other kind of 1990 01:20:21,830 --> 01:20:19,080 mental health issue I mean the problem 1991 01:20:24,229 --> 01:20:21,840 is that many of these many people are 1992 01:20:26,050 --> 01:20:24,239 they actually are both they both have 1993 01:20:29,209 --> 01:20:26,060 kind of a mental health condition 1994 01:20:32,510 --> 01:20:29,219 because of the experience and because of 1995 01:20:34,430 --> 01:20:32,520 society's reaction to that 1996 01:20:37,430 --> 01:20:34,440 um so there's a you know disentangling 1997 01:20:38,689 --> 01:20:37,440 that is is just as bad a um a problem as 1998 01:20:41,149 --> 01:20:38,699 anything else 1999 01:20:43,250 --> 01:20:41,159 yeah it's been related work on potential 2000 01:20:45,350 --> 01:20:43,260 overlaps between what you might call 2001 01:20:49,209 --> 01:20:45,360 foolishness which is an epistemic and 2002 01:20:52,250 --> 01:20:49,219 moral failure to address self-deceptions 2003 01:20:54,590 --> 01:20:52,260 like that and then 2004 01:20:57,410 --> 01:20:54,600 um and mental health issues that also 2005 01:21:00,050 --> 01:20:57,420 have that kind of uh biasing of 2006 01:21:01,669 --> 01:21:00,060 attention and salience dysregulation and 2007 01:21:03,229 --> 01:21:01,679 so there's a gray line where I would 2008 01:21:05,810 --> 01:21:03,239 expect you to find a large number of 2009 01:21:09,110 --> 01:21:05,820 people where it's hard to disentangle 2010 01:21:11,209 --> 01:21:09,120 those two yeah no I mean it's I mean we 2011 01:21:14,570 --> 01:21:11,219 use in some ways the same things that we 2012 01:21:16,850 --> 01:21:14,580 do for the clinical studies that we're 2013 01:21:17,990 --> 01:21:16,860 involved with with cancer researchers we 2014 01:21:20,450 --> 01:21:18,000 do a lot of 2015 01:21:22,430 --> 01:21:20,460 what's called inclusion exclusion 2016 01:21:26,209 --> 01:21:22,440 criteria you have to make sure that 2017 01:21:30,410 --> 01:21:28,070 um so that your statistics can be more 2018 01:21:32,810 --> 01:21:30,420 powerful because you're focusing on a 2019 01:21:34,130 --> 01:21:32,820 um on a more uniform group I mean the 2020 01:21:35,870 --> 01:21:34,140 problem with uniformity of course is 2021 01:21:38,510 --> 01:21:35,880 that it misses all of the interesting 2022 01:21:40,490 --> 01:21:38,520 stuff in the middle you know it's often 2023 01:21:42,169 --> 01:21:40,500 stuff in the middle that's that you can 2024 01:21:43,370 --> 01:21:42,179 explain the edges usually but the stuff 2025 01:21:45,950 --> 01:21:43,380 in the middle is where the fun stuff 2026 01:21:48,470 --> 01:21:45,960 happens and it might miss stuff that 2027 01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:48,480 transfers right it doesn't generalize or 2028 01:21:52,130 --> 01:21:50,460 transfer appropriately to the individual 2029 01:21:54,470 --> 01:21:52,140 differences that pick out a particular 2030 01:21:55,729 --> 01:21:54,480 pathological population either so you 2031 01:21:57,229 --> 01:21:55,739 get the you get the problem the other 2032 01:21:59,570 --> 01:21:57,239 way too that you may be missing other 2033 01:22:01,189 --> 01:21:59,580 than causal factors that way 2034 01:22:02,689 --> 01:22:01,199 you know for me I mean I think the 2035 01:22:05,930 --> 01:22:02,699 pilots were brought up a moment ago 2036 01:22:08,750 --> 01:22:05,940 people like Ryan Graves and others you 2037 01:22:11,450 --> 01:22:08,760 know that here you have experts who are 2038 01:22:15,229 --> 01:22:11,460 then let's say turned upon by I'll call 2039 01:22:18,169 --> 01:22:15,239 them pseudoskeptics uh and grouped with 2040 01:22:20,810 --> 01:22:18,179 you know the uh let's say the less 2041 01:22:22,610 --> 01:22:20,820 Savory characters uh in the UFO 2042 01:22:25,010 --> 01:22:22,620 Community or you know basically people 2043 01:22:28,430 --> 01:22:25,020 who do have you know issues or saw the 2044 01:22:30,370 --> 01:22:28,440 wrong thing and and so they're very 2045 01:22:35,149 --> 01:22:30,380 credible testimonies and observations 2046 01:22:38,209 --> 01:22:35,159 are basically brought down to earth if 2047 01:22:40,790 --> 01:22:38,219 you will by commentary that Associates 2048 01:22:44,990 --> 01:22:40,800 them with absolutely ridiculous you know 2049 01:22:48,649 --> 01:22:46,550 so I mean that's that's part of the 2050 01:22:52,010 --> 01:22:48,659 problem but my you know my push has 2051 01:22:54,770 --> 01:22:52,020 always been uh you know always go after 2052 01:22:56,510 --> 01:22:54,780 the inevitable right always aim for the 2053 01:22:57,709 --> 01:22:56,520 inevitable the things that you know must 2054 01:22:59,870 --> 01:22:57,719 be true I mean obviously that's going to 2055 01:23:01,729 --> 01:22:59,880 be very self-serving uh objective and 2056 01:23:02,990 --> 01:23:01,739 that you you know what you think is is 2057 01:23:04,729 --> 01:23:03,000 inevitable might not be what somebody 2058 01:23:07,189 --> 01:23:04,739 else does but I think if you can Define 2059 01:23:10,370 --> 01:23:07,199 what's truly inevitable and then focus 2060 01:23:14,209 --> 01:23:10,380 on it and just ignore the critics you 2061 01:23:16,729 --> 01:23:14,219 know it's it's three parts confidence 2062 01:23:19,250 --> 01:23:16,739 you know two parts ignorance that 2063 01:23:22,430 --> 01:23:19,260 actually is what drives progress 2064 01:23:23,930 --> 01:23:22,440 in these kinds of areas so 2065 01:23:25,850 --> 01:23:23,940 um you know that's always been my 2066 01:23:27,830 --> 01:23:25,860 Approach 2067 01:23:29,330 --> 01:23:27,840 people I remember you know people have 2068 01:23:32,209 --> 01:23:29,340 said Gary you're very confident I said 2069 01:23:33,350 --> 01:23:32,219 I'm not confident and I just I just want 2070 01:23:36,050 --> 01:23:33,360 to do it 2071 01:23:37,790 --> 01:23:36,060 right and if you don't have a decision 2072 01:23:38,570 --> 01:23:37,800 of something a hypothesis you're trying 2073 01:23:39,890 --> 01:23:38,580 to 2074 01:23:42,410 --> 01:23:39,900 test 2075 01:23:43,430 --> 01:23:42,420 then there's you know then you just you 2076 01:23:46,189 --> 01:23:43,440 know you're just left in this kind of 2077 01:23:49,250 --> 01:23:46,199 wishy-washy area of never proving or 2078 01:23:53,510 --> 01:23:51,470 you know I've always uh I I like using 2079 01:23:55,669 --> 01:23:53,520 this analogy that one of my mentors from 2080 01:23:57,410 --> 01:23:55,679 grad school you know told me Lee 2081 01:23:58,669 --> 01:23:57,420 herzenberg and she was saying look 2082 01:24:00,110 --> 01:23:58,679 there's two kinds of questions there's 2083 01:24:02,510 --> 01:24:00,120 the Las Vegas question where the answer 2084 01:24:05,390 --> 01:24:02,520 is yes and no and if you waste you spend 2085 01:24:07,669 --> 01:24:05,400 six months on no you're interested you 2086 01:24:10,010 --> 01:24:07,679 know that's a bad thing obviously the 2087 01:24:11,870 --> 01:24:10,020 Las Vegas outcome might be great but 2088 01:24:14,689 --> 01:24:11,880 sometimes there's a kind of a Zen Twist 2089 01:24:16,669 --> 01:24:14,699 of the question that you can apply that 2090 01:24:18,830 --> 01:24:16,679 makes any question interesting no matter 2091 01:24:20,390 --> 01:24:18,840 the answer and so that's where I think 2092 01:24:22,370 --> 01:24:20,400 it kind of flips back to the UAP 2093 01:24:24,649 --> 01:24:22,380 phenomenon is that the answer is 2094 01:24:27,229 --> 01:24:24,659 interesting no matter what 2095 01:24:29,990 --> 01:24:27,239 right whether it's We're Alone 2096 01:24:33,649 --> 01:24:30,000 how fascinating and sad 2097 01:24:35,090 --> 01:24:33,659 or there is something how amazing uh you 2098 01:24:37,250 --> 01:24:35,100 know the question the real open question 2099 01:24:40,010 --> 01:24:37,260 is how close is the something is it here 2100 01:24:43,370 --> 01:24:40,020 or are we just is it just more hopeful 2101 01:24:47,990 --> 01:24:45,890 I'm curious John and and Gary what is 2102 01:24:50,209 --> 01:24:48,000 your earliest childhood memory 2103 01:24:54,290 --> 01:24:50,219 John if you don't mind 2104 01:24:56,209 --> 01:24:54,300 I was laying on the living room floor I 2105 01:24:58,910 --> 01:24:56,219 was three and something I'm wondering 2106 01:25:02,810 --> 01:24:58,920 what school was like 2107 01:25:04,550 --> 01:25:02,820 how old are you oh it's really three and 2108 01:25:06,470 --> 01:25:04,560 a half or so just before I was gonna go 2109 01:25:08,330 --> 01:25:06,480 to about it about eight months or so 2110 01:25:11,510 --> 01:25:08,340 before he's gonna go to school 2111 01:25:14,270 --> 01:25:11,520 you were anxious about it like no no not 2112 01:25:16,850 --> 01:25:14,280 at all you're excited I was curious I 2113 01:25:18,709 --> 01:25:16,860 was I was wondering what my sisters my 2114 01:25:22,610 --> 01:25:18,719 older sisters did at school what school 2115 01:25:23,990 --> 01:25:22,620 was like that's why so I guess I was 2116 01:25:26,209 --> 01:25:24,000 destined from the beginning to be an 2117 01:25:28,910 --> 01:25:26,219 academic my first memories about what's 2118 01:25:31,669 --> 01:25:28,920 school like exactly yeah 2119 01:25:34,370 --> 01:25:31,679 and Gary 2120 01:25:35,510 --> 01:25:34,380 um I have like three or four from like I 2121 01:25:38,390 --> 01:25:35,520 mean 2122 01:25:40,310 --> 01:25:38,400 like before we came to this country when 2123 01:25:41,630 --> 01:25:40,320 I was one and a half on a ship actually 2124 01:25:44,090 --> 01:25:41,640 from Liverpool 2125 01:25:45,950 --> 01:25:44,100 and so I remember 2126 01:25:48,229 --> 01:25:45,960 being passed out the window at one point 2127 01:25:50,750 --> 01:25:48,239 in Liverpool to my father 2128 01:25:53,750 --> 01:25:50,760 uh who put me on the back of a motorbike 2129 01:25:55,850 --> 01:25:53,760 I remember being for the first time 2130 01:25:58,189 --> 01:25:55,860 actually put a toilet I remember seeing 2131 01:26:00,229 --> 01:25:58,199 the toilet in front of me 2132 01:26:02,030 --> 01:26:00,239 um and I remember being on the ship left 2133 01:26:03,950 --> 01:26:02,040 alone by my mother because my father was 2134 01:26:05,689 --> 01:26:03,960 already in the United States so these 2135 01:26:07,550 --> 01:26:05,699 are all kind of frightening moments you 2136 01:26:09,830 --> 01:26:07,560 know I mean I I don't really remember 2137 01:26:10,970 --> 01:26:09,840 much Beyond those but those moments 2138 01:26:12,169 --> 01:26:10,980 where oh I remember being brought out to 2139 01:26:14,330 --> 01:26:12,179 the front of the ship and it was just 2140 01:26:15,470 --> 01:26:14,340 sort of this Misty thing so I must have 2141 01:26:19,010 --> 01:26:15,480 been before one and a half but they're 2142 01:26:21,410 --> 01:26:19,020 just like flashes no cognizance 2143 01:26:24,290 --> 01:26:21,420 right just kind of these flashes of 2144 01:26:26,390 --> 01:26:24,300 stuff that I can still see I don't think 2145 01:26:28,430 --> 01:26:26,400 then the next memories came until I was 2146 01:26:33,350 --> 01:26:28,440 around three which were kind of little 2147 01:26:37,430 --> 01:26:36,050 and Carlos and Dan and Andy sorry if I'm 2148 01:26:40,129 --> 01:26:37,440 monopolizing if you have any questions 2149 01:26:42,590 --> 01:26:40,139 for for Gary and John please 2150 01:26:44,870 --> 01:26:42,600 please ask it's a bit difficult because 2151 01:26:48,050 --> 01:26:44,880 we're doing this virtually and so 2152 01:26:49,610 --> 01:26:48,060 interjecting is always tough but please 2153 01:26:51,410 --> 01:26:49,620 I've got like a million questions 2154 01:26:53,209 --> 01:26:51,420 especially for someone like Gary I could 2155 01:26:55,610 --> 01:26:53,219 speak to on a daily basis 2156 01:26:58,490 --> 01:26:55,620 um but not to waste too much time and 2157 01:27:00,950 --> 01:26:58,500 Gary Indiana directions yeah you both 2158 01:27:03,229 --> 01:27:00,960 mentioned though mental health in terms 2159 01:27:06,169 --> 01:27:03,239 of the in the UFO topic and it's a huge 2160 01:27:08,930 --> 01:27:06,179 a huge area especially in 2022 going 2161 01:27:12,530 --> 01:27:08,940 into 2023 and Beyond and I just wonder 2162 01:27:15,169 --> 01:27:12,540 how how do you navigate the conversation 2163 01:27:16,790 --> 01:27:15,179 in terms of the UFO topic especially 2164 01:27:18,890 --> 01:27:16,800 when it goes into the political Arena 2165 01:27:21,410 --> 01:27:18,900 when you're hoping to have hearings in 2166 01:27:23,990 --> 01:27:21,420 the U.S Congress and further afield 2167 01:27:25,970 --> 01:27:24,000 without it coming across like it is a 2168 01:27:27,410 --> 01:27:25,980 massive mental health issue because 2169 01:27:29,209 --> 01:27:27,420 that's the way I think a lot the general 2170 01:27:31,490 --> 01:27:29,219 public or even if I have conversations 2171 01:27:34,010 --> 01:27:31,500 with people I work with the way they see 2172 01:27:38,270 --> 01:27:34,020 the topic is people are either crazy 2173 01:27:41,629 --> 01:27:39,890 well I mean 2174 01:27:43,490 --> 01:27:41,639 you know you should see my email inbox 2175 01:27:49,750 --> 01:27:43,500 sometime with some of the you know the 2176 01:27:54,229 --> 01:27:52,370 five-page you know diatribes and it's 2177 01:27:56,270 --> 01:27:54,239 like I don't even have 2178 01:27:57,470 --> 01:27:56,280 um you know I I tried very carefully I 2179 01:27:59,330 --> 01:27:57,480 mean look I'm not an MD and I'm 2180 01:28:01,430 --> 01:27:59,340 certainly not a psychiatrist 2181 01:28:03,290 --> 01:28:01,440 um but uh I think one of the good things 2182 01:28:05,270 --> 01:28:03,300 about the openness of the topic is 2183 01:28:08,149 --> 01:28:05,280 amongst the many emails I get are 2184 01:28:12,770 --> 01:28:08,159 actually emails from psychiatrists and 2185 01:28:15,590 --> 01:28:12,780 uh um Health mental health officials 2186 01:28:18,310 --> 01:28:15,600 um and uh you know they say hey how can 2187 01:28:21,050 --> 01:28:18,320 we help right what can we do to organize 2188 01:28:23,149 --> 01:28:21,060 uh and provide 2189 01:28:25,550 --> 01:28:23,159 um you know more than just a little 2190 01:28:26,330 --> 01:28:25,560 local groups sorry about the dog 2191 01:28:28,669 --> 01:28:26,340 um 2192 01:28:30,890 --> 01:28:28,679 and uh you know I think it's again 2193 01:28:32,689 --> 01:28:30,900 similar I mean I don't I don't have the 2194 01:28:34,490 --> 01:28:32,699 wherewithal within the right communities 2195 01:28:37,250 --> 01:28:34,500 but it's similar to what Ryan Graves has 2196 01:28:39,350 --> 01:28:37,260 been doing uh with the um American 2197 01:28:40,430 --> 01:28:39,360 Institute of 2198 01:28:43,669 --> 01:28:40,440 uh 2199 01:28:45,950 --> 01:28:43,679 quiet all right Aeronautics where he has 2200 01:28:48,290 --> 01:28:45,960 created a group of people who can talk 2201 01:28:50,209 --> 01:28:48,300 to the other Pilots uh about the 2202 01:28:52,310 --> 01:28:50,219 observations that they've had and give 2203 01:28:54,410 --> 01:28:52,320 them the kind of feedback that allows 2204 01:28:57,530 --> 01:28:54,420 them to not have a fear for their jobs 2205 01:28:59,629 --> 01:28:57,540 or fear for their sanity 2206 01:29:02,030 --> 01:28:59,639 um so I'm involved with a number of 2207 01:29:06,050 --> 01:29:02,040 others uh to actually set up um an 2208 01:29:08,270 --> 01:29:06,060 independent Institute uh that will um 2209 01:29:09,950 --> 01:29:08,280 amongst several things among policy 2210 01:29:13,010 --> 01:29:09,960 papers and other things that we'll write 2211 01:29:16,070 --> 01:29:13,020 around the whole UAP project also to 2212 01:29:18,890 --> 01:29:16,080 have an arm around uh the social aspects 2213 01:29:21,350 --> 01:29:18,900 of things and so hopefully we'll be able 2214 01:29:23,030 --> 01:29:21,360 to announce that later this year we've 2215 01:29:24,530 --> 01:29:23,040 already got some of our first major 2216 01:29:27,050 --> 01:29:24,540 donations 2217 01:29:29,870 --> 01:29:27,060 I mean what's exciting to me is the 2218 01:29:32,570 --> 01:29:29,880 amount of interest that is here and the 2219 01:29:33,950 --> 01:29:32,580 amount of available resources is 2220 01:29:36,649 --> 01:29:33,960 extraordinary it's really just about 2221 01:29:38,390 --> 01:29:36,659 coordination and ignoring those stupid 2222 01:29:40,550 --> 01:29:38,400 articles in the Wall Street Journal and 2223 01:29:42,709 --> 01:29:40,560 Julian Barnes and all of that 2224 01:29:44,030 --> 01:29:42,719 Ridiculousness I mean just don't pay 2225 01:29:45,770 --> 01:29:44,040 those kinds of people any attention 2226 01:29:49,129 --> 01:29:45,780 because they're really 2227 01:29:52,490 --> 01:29:49,139 um I think their objective is to 2228 01:29:54,770 --> 01:29:52,500 demoralize those who are working in the 2229 01:29:56,629 --> 01:29:54,780 area and not so much as to spread 2230 01:29:58,370 --> 01:29:56,639 disinformation right I think 2231 01:30:00,350 --> 01:29:58,380 disinformation is one thing 2232 01:30:05,750 --> 01:30:00,360 that's been done but I think the attempt 2233 01:30:07,070 --> 01:30:05,760 to demoralize uh is more uh I think 2234 01:30:09,229 --> 01:30:07,080 dangerous 2235 01:30:11,990 --> 01:30:09,239 uh it's demoralizing those who want to 2236 01:30:13,310 --> 01:30:12,000 do it who want to invest who've already 2237 01:30:15,770 --> 01:30:13,320 made a decision that this is something 2238 01:30:17,870 --> 01:30:15,780 that should be worked upon 2239 01:30:19,189 --> 01:30:17,880 um sorry to interject but why is it you 2240 01:30:20,689 --> 01:30:19,199 think that they're interested in 2241 01:30:23,390 --> 01:30:20,699 demoralizing do you think that that's 2242 01:30:26,149 --> 01:30:23,400 their their conscious 2243 01:30:27,530 --> 01:30:26,159 aim or that's just an artist I think 2244 01:30:29,629 --> 01:30:27,540 it's both I mean I I know I don't want 2245 01:30:31,910 --> 01:30:29,639 to get all conspiratorial but I mean if 2246 01:30:34,310 --> 01:30:31,920 you're doing a psyop it's not just about 2247 01:30:37,310 --> 01:30:34,320 throwing litter into the conversation 2248 01:30:41,629 --> 01:30:37,320 it's about stopping your opponents from 2249 01:30:45,590 --> 01:30:44,209 so Andy had a question and so John if 2250 01:30:47,270 --> 01:30:45,600 you recall the question 2251 01:30:48,950 --> 01:30:47,280 can you answer if not Andy can you 2252 01:30:51,590 --> 01:30:48,960 repeat 2253 01:30:53,330 --> 01:30:51,600 uh I don't know if John does but it just 2254 01:30:55,970 --> 01:30:53,340 generally has thinking around the UFO 2255 01:30:58,430 --> 01:30:55,980 topic and and mental health how you have 2256 01:31:00,590 --> 01:30:58,440 that open conversation similar to Gary I 2257 01:31:02,570 --> 01:31:00,600 get people asking me telling me their 2258 01:31:05,330 --> 01:31:02,580 experiencers and they've had these like 2259 01:31:07,370 --> 01:31:05,340 Gary says five six seven pages worth of 2260 01:31:08,870 --> 01:31:07,380 emails to tell you an incredible story 2261 01:31:10,550 --> 01:31:08,880 as a one-off event or that's happened 2262 01:31:12,169 --> 01:31:10,560 throughout their life and they're 2263 01:31:14,689 --> 01:31:12,179 frustrated that those conversations 2264 01:31:17,149 --> 01:31:14,699 aren't being had in a more mainstream 2265 01:31:18,890 --> 01:31:17,159 way at the kind of higher levels well 2266 01:31:20,510 --> 01:31:18,900 they assume they aren't being had but 2267 01:31:22,370 --> 01:31:20,520 the worry is that if those are talked 2268 01:31:24,290 --> 01:31:22,380 about in terms of experiences being on 2269 01:31:25,669 --> 01:31:24,300 kind of late night news chat shows 2270 01:31:27,110 --> 01:31:25,679 they're going to be laughed at they're 2271 01:31:28,970 --> 01:31:27,120 going to be mocked and ridiculed and I 2272 01:31:30,590 --> 01:31:28,980 just wonder how how those conversations 2273 01:31:35,149 --> 01:31:30,600 can make their way into the mainstream 2274 01:31:41,750 --> 01:31:39,590 I don't interact with uh UFO people at 2275 01:31:43,910 --> 01:31:41,760 all today too that hasn't come across I 2276 01:31:46,850 --> 01:31:43,920 don't know if that's just because of uh 2277 01:31:49,010 --> 01:31:46,860 the kind of work I do or the community 2278 01:31:50,810 --> 01:31:49,020 um so I don't I don't have too much to 2279 01:31:52,669 --> 01:31:50,820 say about this specific topic I can 2280 01:31:55,370 --> 01:31:52,679 speak to the general topic which I do a 2281 01:31:58,189 --> 01:31:55,380 lot of work on which is 2282 01:32:00,890 --> 01:31:58,199 um refurbishing our note our notion of 2283 01:32:02,270 --> 01:32:00,900 rationality uh we have a far too narrow 2284 01:32:04,550 --> 01:32:02,280 and truncated notion that doesn't 2285 01:32:07,970 --> 01:32:04,560 actually serve 2286 01:32:11,270 --> 01:32:07,980 um most of uh 2287 01:32:12,590 --> 01:32:11,280 most of action of actual existence and 2288 01:32:13,189 --> 01:32:12,600 living 2289 01:32:14,750 --> 01:32:13,199 um 2290 01:32:16,970 --> 01:32:14,760 and 2291 01:32:19,729 --> 01:32:16,980 for example I think there's far too much 2292 01:32:22,490 --> 01:32:19,739 of a priority put on a certain kind of 2293 01:32:23,450 --> 01:32:22,500 inferential logical ability 2294 01:32:26,810 --> 01:32:23,460 um that 2295 01:32:29,090 --> 01:32:26,820 probably isn't as Central to uh 2296 01:32:30,830 --> 01:32:29,100 rationality as overcoming self-deception 2297 01:32:32,470 --> 01:32:30,840 is which often involves very different 2298 01:32:35,570 --> 01:32:32,480 kinds of strategies around detention 2299 01:32:39,709 --> 01:32:35,580 proper understanding of how memory Works 2300 01:32:44,870 --> 01:32:39,719 Etc which people can be well educated in 2301 01:32:46,550 --> 01:32:44,880 the difficulty comes you know in about 2302 01:32:50,510 --> 01:32:46,560 when 2303 01:32:53,450 --> 01:32:50,520 issues of irrationality and issues of 2304 01:32:54,470 --> 01:32:53,460 pathology are intertwined together 2305 01:32:56,689 --> 01:32:54,480 um 2306 01:32:58,270 --> 01:32:56,699 because it's very hard in that gray area 2307 01:33:02,270 --> 01:32:58,280 to 2308 01:33:04,729 --> 01:33:02,280 excluded because 2309 01:33:06,890 --> 01:33:04,739 you have to understand for large groups 2310 01:33:08,090 --> 01:33:06,900 of topological individuals allowing them 2311 01:33:09,709 --> 01:33:08,100 into this conversation is actually 2312 01:33:12,290 --> 01:33:09,719 detrimental 2313 01:33:14,450 --> 01:33:12,300 right it reinforces the pathology in 2314 01:33:15,890 --> 01:33:14,460 ways that will prevent them from seeking 2315 01:33:17,990 --> 01:33:15,900 the help they need 2316 01:33:21,050 --> 01:33:18,000 Etc so there are 2317 01:33:23,030 --> 01:33:21,060 um again I I'm not trying to take sides 2318 01:33:26,209 --> 01:33:23,040 or beacons territorial there are genuine 2319 01:33:28,070 --> 01:33:26,219 Quantified cases or groups of cases 2320 01:33:29,330 --> 01:33:28,080 where you want to include people through 2321 01:33:32,510 --> 01:33:29,340 these conversations because it's 2322 01:33:34,970 --> 01:33:32,520 deleterious to them and then how do you 2323 01:33:37,610 --> 01:33:34,980 separate that from 2324 01:33:39,590 --> 01:33:37,620 uh people who may be saying things that 2325 01:33:40,990 --> 01:33:39,600 seem initially very odd or strange but 2326 01:33:44,510 --> 01:33:41,000 are ultimately 2327 01:33:48,830 --> 01:33:44,520 rationally valuable that is easy to 2328 01:33:51,649 --> 01:33:48,840 State as a thing it's very hard to do 2329 01:33:54,709 --> 01:33:51,659 um and the reason is they it's like I 2330 01:33:56,930 --> 01:33:54,719 say people don't fall cleanly and 2331 01:33:58,250 --> 01:33:56,940 exhaustively and exclusively into one of 2332 01:33:59,149 --> 01:33:58,260 these groups or another you'll have 2333 01:34:01,910 --> 01:33:59,159 people 2334 01:34:05,450 --> 01:34:01,920 right who might be saying things that 2335 01:34:07,970 --> 01:34:05,460 are strange but epistemically worthy of 2336 01:34:09,649 --> 01:34:07,980 Investigation one minute and the next 2337 01:34:13,310 --> 01:34:09,659 minute saying things that definitely 2338 01:34:14,450 --> 01:34:13,320 indicate there's a pathology at work and 2339 01:34:16,669 --> 01:34:14,460 then what do you do with those 2340 01:34:20,209 --> 01:34:16,679 individuals you allow them to keep 2341 01:34:21,290 --> 01:34:20,219 speaking because of the epistemic value 2342 01:34:23,209 --> 01:34:21,300 of what they're saying but that's 2343 01:34:27,050 --> 01:34:23,219 detrimental to their Therapeutic Health 2344 01:34:29,090 --> 01:34:27,060 do you intervene therapeutically but 2345 01:34:30,950 --> 01:34:29,100 then that's at the epistemic cost of 2346 01:34:33,110 --> 01:34:30,960 silencing a voice that may be bringing 2347 01:34:35,570 --> 01:34:33,120 arguments or evidence to bear it's a 2348 01:34:38,149 --> 01:34:35,580 hard issue and it's not specific to this 2349 01:34:40,310 --> 01:34:38,159 issue you know it pertains to people who 2350 01:34:42,050 --> 01:34:40,320 claim to have talked to Angels what do 2351 01:34:43,610 --> 01:34:42,060 you do with people like that and I'm not 2352 01:34:45,470 --> 01:34:43,620 saying I'm not trying to reduce one to 2353 01:34:47,390 --> 01:34:45,480 the other I'm not doing that I'm just 2354 01:34:50,330 --> 01:34:47,400 trying to give you that this is a this 2355 01:34:54,110 --> 01:34:50,340 is a very generic problem and we're not 2356 01:34:56,750 --> 01:34:54,120 doing a lot to talk about that we have a 2357 01:34:59,209 --> 01:34:56,760 category sanity we have other category 2358 01:35:01,550 --> 01:34:59,219 rationality how many conversations in 2359 01:35:02,750 --> 01:35:01,560 depth have you heard where people are 2360 01:35:05,810 --> 01:35:02,760 trying to work out what's the 2361 01:35:07,129 --> 01:35:05,820 relationship between rationality and 2362 01:35:08,629 --> 01:35:07,139 Sanity 2363 01:35:10,370 --> 01:35:08,639 I haven't heard a lot of these 2364 01:35:12,110 --> 01:35:10,380 conversations but the conversations we 2365 01:35:13,669 --> 01:35:12,120 need to have and we need to have them 2366 01:35:16,129 --> 01:35:13,679 not just because of this issue but of 2367 01:35:17,689 --> 01:35:16,139 many issues where it's very difficult to 2368 01:35:19,430 --> 01:35:17,699 determine how we should be interacting 2369 01:35:21,350 --> 01:35:19,440 with individuals or groups of 2370 01:35:23,510 --> 01:35:21,360 individuals like I said Andy I can't 2371 01:35:25,910 --> 01:35:23,520 talk to the specific issue I I am 2372 01:35:27,470 --> 01:35:25,920 virtually ignorant about it uh but on 2373 01:35:29,209 --> 01:35:27,480 the on the what you might call the 2374 01:35:31,129 --> 01:35:29,219 psychological epistemic issue about 2375 01:35:33,709 --> 01:35:31,139 rationality and Sanity 2376 01:35:35,149 --> 01:35:33,719 that's something that I I think we need 2377 01:35:37,430 --> 01:35:35,159 to be talking a lot more about and it's 2378 01:35:39,410 --> 01:35:37,440 something that I do my work is directed 2379 01:35:42,110 --> 01:35:39,420 towards I hope that's at least helpful 2380 01:35:45,050 --> 01:35:42,120 no absolutely as in I think sometimes 2381 01:35:46,610 --> 01:35:45,060 it's nice to hear logic from people that 2382 01:35:49,250 --> 01:35:46,620 are thinking who aren't involved in the 2383 01:35:51,290 --> 01:35:49,260 UFO topic on the UFO topic to give you a 2384 01:35:52,669 --> 01:35:51,300 fresh perspective or at least kind of 2385 01:35:54,169 --> 01:35:52,679 word things in a different way so I 2386 01:35:57,050 --> 01:35:54,179 appreciate that from yourself and from

01:37:30,900 of your podcasts uh they were extremely 2421 01:37:35,090 --> 01:37:33,420 helpful because I was setting up uh sort 2422 01:37:37,310 --> 01:37:35,100 of a group of people here in in Spain 2423 01:37:39,169 --> 01:37:37,320 where it based where we're trying to get 2424 01:37:41,450 --> 01:37:39,179 together different traditions of 2425 01:37:44,090 --> 01:37:41,460 Christianity atheism and different 2426 01:37:46,070 --> 01:37:44,100 spiritual traditions and trying to set 2427 01:37:47,629 --> 01:37:46,080 up sort of uh I mean I don't know what 2428 01:37:50,750 --> 01:37:47,639 they would write word in English is but 2429 01:37:54,410 --> 01:37:50,760 something like reflection reflection 2430 01:37:56,629 --> 01:37:54,420 groups and some kind of uh ways of uh 2431 01:37:59,090 --> 01:37:56,639 coming together and just talking life 2432 01:38:01,010 --> 01:37:59,100 and talking so spirituality and I was 2433 01:38:04,550 --> 01:38:01,020 wondering right I was wondering if you 2434 01:38:05,870 --> 01:38:04,560 have any insights on I I'm sure you have 2435 01:38:09,110 --> 01:38:05,880 a lot of experience but if you have any 2436 01:38:11,870 --> 01:38:09,120 insights on the phenomenon that a lot of 2437 01:38:14,149 --> 01:38:11,880 practices across different Traditions uh 2438 01:38:17,229 --> 01:38:14,159 kind of converge into similar so 2439 01:38:20,110 --> 01:38:17,239 meditation you know uh praise 2440 01:38:25,910 --> 01:38:20,120 yeah yeah 2441 01:38:28,610 --> 01:38:25,920 about not like giving people a set 2442 01:38:31,430 --> 01:38:28,620 recipe of practices like do this do this 2443 01:38:34,189 --> 01:38:31,440 do this do this what I do instead is I I 2444 01:38:36,530 --> 01:38:34,199 look for sort of two things I look for 2445 01:38:39,110 --> 01:38:36,540 what I call Design principles what are 2446 01:38:40,729 --> 01:38:39,120 the best ways of like designing an 2447 01:38:43,010 --> 01:38:40,739 Ecology of practices what kind of 2448 01:38:44,629 --> 01:38:43,020 features do you want in it uh you want 2449 01:38:47,810 --> 01:38:44,639 important processing you want nested 2450 01:38:49,550 --> 01:38:47,820 opponent processing uh you want a proper 2451 01:38:50,810 --> 01:38:49,560 pedagogical program so things are 2452 01:38:54,470 --> 01:38:50,820 introduced in the right order of 2453 01:38:56,149 --> 01:38:54,480 operations uh you want layering so it 2454 01:38:57,530 --> 01:38:56,159 can you have practices that appeal to 2455 01:38:59,510 --> 01:38:57,540 different kinds of knowing within the 2456 01:39:02,090 --> 01:38:59,520 psyche and coordinate between them so 2457 01:39:04,850 --> 01:39:02,100 those are design principles I look for 2458 01:39:08,570 --> 01:39:04,860 a processing nested opponent processing 2459 01:39:10,910 --> 01:39:08,580 uh pedagogical program and layering so 2460 01:39:12,709 --> 01:39:10,920 you want those definitely and then I 2461 01:39:13,970 --> 01:39:12,719 look for domains what are the domains 2462 01:39:17,810 --> 01:39:13,980 that 2463 01:39:18,470 --> 01:39:17,820 about 2464 01:39:20,090 --> 01:39:18,480 um 2465 01:39:23,750 --> 01:39:20,100 what spirituality I think of 2466 01:39:25,729 --> 01:39:23,760 spirituality as conforming to deeper 2467 01:39:27,590 --> 01:39:25,739 dimensions of reality in order to afford 2468 01:39:28,550 --> 01:39:27,600 the cultivation of wisdom where wisdom 2469 01:39:31,250 --> 01:39:28,560 is the 2470 01:39:34,129 --> 01:39:31,260 uh amelioration of foolishness and the 2471 01:39:37,669 --> 01:39:34,139 affordance of meaning in life for me 2472 01:39:40,610 --> 01:39:37,679 um so uh you look for domains uh there's 2473 01:39:42,169 --> 01:39:40,620 mindfulness domains obviously uh there 2474 01:39:44,030 --> 01:39:42,179 are movement domains there are nature 2475 01:39:46,370 --> 01:39:44,040 connection domains there are biological 2476 01:39:47,030 --> 01:39:46,380 uh domains 2477 01:39:50,330 --> 01:39:47,040 um 2478 01:39:51,890 --> 01:39:50,340 I tend to argue and not uh and this is 2479 01:39:53,810 --> 01:39:51,900 sort of bridges between being a domain 2480 01:39:56,390 --> 01:39:53,820 and design principle but you want your 2481 01:39:58,010 --> 01:39:56,400 ecology to practice you can do on your 2482 01:40:00,770 --> 01:39:58,020 own or in a small group and then you 2483 01:40:03,169 --> 01:40:00,780 want a dialogical practice for larger 2484 01:40:05,209 --> 01:40:03,179 group collective intelligence that 2485 01:40:06,890 --> 01:40:05,219 serves as sort of your your your you 2486 01:40:09,050 --> 01:40:06,900 know the next Buddha is the saying it 2487 01:40:10,910 --> 01:40:09,060 serves as your Sage to give people 2488 01:40:12,709 --> 01:40:10,920 guidance 2489 01:40:15,050 --> 01:40:12,719 um uh someone wants to know how do you 2490 01:40:18,169 --> 01:40:15,060 explain Buddhism to a Westerner John how 2491 01:40:21,169 --> 01:40:18,179 would I explain Buddhism to a Westerner 2492 01:40:23,390 --> 01:40:21,179 um I would say avoid uh initially 2493 01:40:25,669 --> 01:40:23,400 Western versions of Buddhism that have 2494 01:40:27,950 --> 01:40:25,679 been cleaned up and make Buddhism look 2495 01:40:30,290 --> 01:40:27,960 other than it is 2496 01:40:32,689 --> 01:40:30,300 um uh I think Evan Thompson why I'm not 2497 01:40:34,850 --> 01:40:32,699 a Buddhist and even Bachelors after 2498 01:40:37,010 --> 01:40:34,860 Buddhism are very powerful critiques of 2499 01:40:38,629 --> 01:40:37,020 Western Buddhism uh Western Buddhism 2500 01:40:41,270 --> 01:40:38,639 claiming the Buddhism is more scientific 2501 01:40:43,310 --> 01:40:41,280 which is really a bad argument because 2502 01:40:46,189 --> 01:40:43,320 Western Buddhism has basically removed a 2503 01:40:48,950 --> 01:40:46,199 lot of the non-scientific stuff from uh 2504 01:40:51,050 --> 01:40:48,960 you know uh uh Eastern Buddhism if I 2505 01:40:52,250 --> 01:40:51,060 could put it that way and therefore it 2506 01:40:53,810 --> 01:40:52,260 made it look more scientifically 2507 01:40:56,870 --> 01:40:53,820 palatable 2508 01:40:59,330 --> 01:40:56,880 um I would explain Buddhism 2509 01:41:01,490 --> 01:40:59,340 um only after somebody has engaged in 2510 01:41:04,990 --> 01:41:01,500 practices for some time 2511 01:41:09,110 --> 01:41:05,000 uh and do the Eightfold Path 2512 01:41:10,970 --> 01:41:09,120 uh and and do it seriously do it as an 2513 01:41:13,970 --> 01:41:10,980 Ecology of practices you want to know 2514 01:41:16,490 --> 01:41:13,980 what Buddhism is go into the existing 2515 01:41:18,649 --> 01:41:16,500 Ecology of practices a full path is a 2516 01:41:20,870 --> 01:41:18,659 perfect example by the way what I mean 2517 01:41:22,129 --> 01:41:20,880 by an Ecology of practices it has 2518 01:41:23,990 --> 01:41:22,139 opponent processing there's a 2519 01:41:25,550 --> 01:41:24,000 pedagogical program it has layering 2520 01:41:28,129 --> 01:41:25,560 everything is dynamically 2521 01:41:30,530 --> 01:41:28,139 self-organizing do that for a while and 2522 01:41:34,370 --> 01:41:30,540 then start reading about Buddhism 2523 01:41:38,390 --> 01:41:37,010 it's it's like well I make this joke but 2524 01:41:40,729 --> 01:41:38,400 it's like reading the Kamasutra and 2525 01:41:42,169 --> 01:41:40,739 never making love you you won't get it 2526 01:41:45,530 --> 01:41:42,179 you won't understand it you're 2527 01:41:48,770 --> 01:41:45,540 fundamentally misinterpret it 2528 01:41:50,930 --> 01:41:48,780 um and like I say I'm very critical of 2529 01:41:52,910 --> 01:41:50,940 Western Buddhism because of the way it 2530 01:41:56,209 --> 01:41:52,920 misrepresents 2531 01:41:58,070 --> 01:41:56,219 um historical Buddhism and the way it 2532 01:41:58,910 --> 01:41:58,080 also tends to reduce why do you think 2533 01:42:02,390 --> 01:41:58,920 that is 2534 01:42:05,629 --> 01:42:02,400 just a few individuals who are 2535 01:42:08,689 --> 01:42:05,639 responsible for this in some movement or 2536 01:42:10,970 --> 01:42:08,699 is there some larger reason uh no I 2537 01:42:13,310 --> 01:42:10,980 think it's it's I I don't I don't think 2538 01:42:16,129 --> 01:42:13,320 they were Sinister I think they were 2539 01:42:19,570 --> 01:42:16,139 responding to very powerful cultural 2540 01:42:22,609 --> 01:42:19,580 imperatives right a market bottom line 2541 01:42:24,890 --> 01:42:22,619 idea like can we simplified get cut to 2542 01:42:26,870 --> 01:42:24,900 the chase what's it all about uh how can 2543 01:42:29,149 --> 01:42:26,880 I what's this what's the basic practice 2544 01:42:31,250 --> 01:42:29,159 how can I make this work as simply as 2545 01:42:33,229 --> 01:42:31,260 effectively as possible and you reduce 2546 01:42:35,810 --> 01:42:33,239 all of my let alone Buddhism you reduce 2547 01:42:38,090 --> 01:42:35,820 all the mindfulness to one thing seated 2548 01:42:40,430 --> 01:42:38,100 meditation which is ridiculous I mean 2549 01:42:42,530 --> 01:42:40,440 yeah compared to doing nothing seated 2550 01:42:45,050 --> 01:42:42,540 meditation is great but if you want to 2551 01:42:46,609 --> 01:42:45,060 transform something as Dynamic and 2552 01:42:50,090 --> 01:42:46,619 complex 2553 01:42:52,910 --> 01:42:50,100 as a self within a community of persons 2554 01:42:55,250 --> 01:42:52,920 within a culture now you've got to do 2555 01:42:57,830 --> 01:42:55,260 something way more powerful but it's 2556 01:43:01,550 --> 01:42:57,840 easy to Market 2557 01:43:03,410 --> 01:43:01,560 mindfulness for stress reduction so that 2558 01:43:04,729 --> 01:43:03,420 you will be a very contented corporate 2559 01:43:07,550 --> 01:43:04,739 drone 2560 01:43:10,370 --> 01:43:07,560 that's easy to Market and that's easy to 2561 01:43:12,530 --> 01:43:10,380 sell and that's easy to get people to 2562 01:43:13,910 --> 01:43:12,540 jump on board because you get immediate 2563 01:43:15,350 --> 01:43:13,920 effects 2564 01:43:17,510 --> 01:43:15,360 stress production will start working 2565 01:43:20,750 --> 01:43:17,520 within eight weeks it does that's what 2566 01:43:22,609 --> 01:43:20,760 it does transforming your character 2567 01:43:23,990 --> 01:43:22,619 bringing about the cultivation of wisdom 2568 01:43:25,490 --> 01:43:24,000 you really think you're going to do that 2569 01:43:27,709 --> 01:43:25,500 in eight weeks could you learn to play a 2570 01:43:30,830 --> 01:43:27,719 musical instrument well in eight weeks a 2571 01:43:34,850 --> 01:43:30,840 martial art in eight weeks come on it's 2572 01:43:39,950 --> 01:43:37,550 sorry it was polemical but I feel very 2573 01:43:42,470 --> 01:43:39,960 strongly precisely because I have so 2574 01:43:46,129 --> 01:43:42,480 much value for Buddhism that I dislike 2575 01:43:47,629 --> 01:43:46,139 the way it is often uh being presented 2576 01:43:50,390 --> 01:43:47,639 in the west and like I say I'm in good 2577 01:43:52,189 --> 01:43:50,400 company I know both Stephen Bachelor 2578 01:43:55,129 --> 01:43:52,199 I've had dinner with him talked to him 2579 01:43:56,810 --> 01:43:55,139 at a conference and Evan of course was a 2580 01:43:58,910 --> 01:43:56,820 colleague of mine a friend of mine at 2581 01:44:00,830 --> 01:43:58,920 ufp so I'm in good company with people 2582 01:44:02,390 --> 01:44:00,840 who we're very critical of Western 2583 01:44:04,669 --> 01:44:02,400 Buddhism 2584 01:44:07,430 --> 01:44:04,679 okay speaking of good company 2585 01:44:11,030 --> 01:44:07,440 Christina Gomez is in the house good to 2586 01:44:13,490 --> 01:44:11,040 meet you Christina hi there

independently wealthy I'd probably just 2682 01:48:03,950 --> 01:48:02,040 keep doing everything I was doing uh 2683 01:48:07,790 --> 01:48:03,960 yeah and so 2684 01:48:10,070 --> 01:48:07,800 um I mean yeah I get stressors uh but um 2685 01:48:11,930 --> 01:48:10,080 I'm very lucky and I'm very and I'm very 2686 01:48:14,030 --> 01:48:11,940 appreciative of that thought that I get 2687 01:48:15,770 --> 01:48:14,040 to do work that I find valuable a lot of 2688 01:48:17,570 --> 01:48:15,780 people find valuable and I find it 2689 01:48:19,669 --> 01:48:17,580 incredibly meaningful 2690 01:48:23,090 --> 01:48:19,679 so let's go around the room I'm curious 2691 01:48:25,070 --> 01:48:23,100 what would change sorry 2692 01:48:26,810 --> 01:48:25,080 that's okay I was just gonna ask like 2693 01:48:28,310 --> 01:48:26,820 earlier we we asked John to explain 2694 01:48:31,070 --> 01:48:28,320 Buddhism and he gave us a really great 2695 01:48:33,709 --> 01:48:31,080 answer and during the ncu John was 2696 01:48:35,390 --> 01:48:33,719 saying about uh how everyone thinks 2697 01:48:37,490 --> 01:48:35,400 meditation is a sit-down kind of thing 2698 01:48:39,290 --> 01:48:37,500 you know for 10 minutes a day and and I 2699 01:48:40,970 --> 01:48:39,300 just wanted you to expand on that John 2700 01:48:44,450 --> 01:48:40,980 and just tell us what you think of 2701 01:48:49,910 --> 01:48:47,330 um so I think I think of mindfulness as 2702 01:48:52,310 --> 01:48:49,920 an awareness of mental Framing and I 2703 01:48:54,410 --> 01:48:52,320 always I often use my glasses I've been 2704 01:48:56,390 --> 01:48:54,420 told this has become a meme 2705 01:48:58,070 --> 01:48:56,400 um as you know this is how I'm framing 2706 01:49:00,649 --> 01:48:58,080 what I'm paying attention to what I'm 2707 01:49:03,169 --> 01:49:00,659 ignoring what I'm focusing on what I'm 2708 01:49:04,669 --> 01:49:03,179 backgrounding what's peripheral and what 2709 01:49:06,410 --> 01:49:04,679 you're doing in meditation is you're 2710 01:49:09,070 --> 01:49:06,420 stepping back and looking at your mental 2711 01:49:14,689 --> 01:49:11,870 so it becomes opaque to you you can look 2712 01:49:16,129 --> 01:49:14,699 at it rather than being unaware of it 2713 01:49:18,890 --> 01:49:16,139 precisely because you're looking through 2714 01:49:20,629 --> 01:49:18,900 it by means of it uh and what you can do 2715 01:49:22,070 --> 01:49:20,639 is you can notice patterns on your 2716 01:49:23,750 --> 01:49:22,080 mental framing they may be distorting 2717 01:49:26,390 --> 01:49:23,760 how you're seeing the world the problem 2718 01:49:29,149 --> 01:49:26,400 is you can't tell if any correction 2719 01:49:31,490 --> 01:49:29,159 you've made any changes you've made are 2720 01:49:34,010 --> 01:49:31,500 actually making a difference until you 2721 01:49:36,470 --> 01:49:34,020 do a complimentary practice which is you 2722 01:49:39,050 --> 01:49:36,480 have to put your frames back on and see 2723 01:49:41,390 --> 01:49:39,060 if you can see more clearly and deeply 2724 01:49:42,890 --> 01:49:41,400 into the world that's why most Buddhist 2725 01:49:44,990 --> 01:49:42,900 Traditions have in addition to a 2726 01:49:47,149 --> 01:49:45,000 meditative practice 2727 01:49:49,129 --> 01:49:47,159 they have a contemplative practice where 2728 01:49:51,470 --> 01:49:49,139 you're looking out and seeing if you can 2729 01:49:53,510 --> 01:49:51,480 see clearly into the depths of how 2730 01:49:57,229 --> 01:49:53,520 everything is impermanent how everything 2731 01:49:59,870 --> 01:49:57,239 is in interconnected etc etc and you 2732 01:50:02,570 --> 01:49:59,880 have to go back and forth between those 2733 01:50:04,669 --> 01:50:02,580 um in order to enhance your ability to 2734 01:50:07,850 --> 01:50:04,679 be free yourself from distorting frames 2735 01:50:09,890 --> 01:50:07,860 but also afford yourself clarifying 2736 01:50:11,870 --> 01:50:09,900 friends and moving back and forth but 2737 01:50:13,970 --> 01:50:11,880 you don't you you not only want to do 2738 01:50:15,709 --> 01:50:13,980 that in a still fashion 2739 01:50:17,450 --> 01:50:15,719 you want to do it in a moving fashion 2740 01:50:20,689 --> 01:50:17,460 because there's a there's an important 2741 01:50:23,870 --> 01:50:20,699 Loop like the the frontal cortex and 2742 01:50:25,189 --> 01:50:23,880 your cerebellum form a loop and you need 2743 01:50:26,689 --> 01:50:25,199 to train that that's why you have 2744 01:50:29,629 --> 01:50:26,699 mindfulness things that have movement 2745 01:50:31,609 --> 01:50:29,639 martial arts tai chichwan uh yoga 2746 01:50:33,530 --> 01:50:31,619 especially if it's flowing yoga you want 2747 01:50:36,890 --> 01:50:33,540 so you want to you want I still practice 2748 01:50:38,990 --> 01:50:36,900 and a moving practice also to constantly 2749 01:50:40,689 --> 01:50:39,000 pull and push on each other and then you 2750 01:50:43,010 --> 01:50:40,699 want to set that 2751 01:50:45,590 --> 01:50:43,020 individual practice of mindfulness 2752 01:50:47,510 --> 01:50:45,600 practice into shared mindfulness like 2753 01:50:49,430 --> 01:50:47,520 you do in circling or biological 2754 01:50:51,050 --> 01:50:49,440 practices where you're bringing in the 2755 01:50:52,729 --> 01:50:51,060 interpersonal Dimension into your mind 2756 01:50:54,290 --> 01:50:52,739 once you get that sort of 2757 01:50:56,510 --> 01:50:54,300 three-dimensional four-dimensional 2758 01:50:58,850 --> 01:50:56,520 aspect then I would be saying you're 2759 01:51:02,990 --> 01:50:58,860 actually starting to train mindfulness 2760 01:51:05,689 --> 01:51:03,000 in in a well-rounded manner would that 2761 01:51:07,070 --> 01:51:05,699 help is it as an Amsterdam 2762 01:51:08,750 --> 01:51:07,080 yeah that's really interesting answer 2763 01:51:10,550 --> 01:51:08,760 thank you I just think a lot of people 2764 01:51:11,990 --> 01:51:10,560 think of meditation exactly like you 2765 01:51:14,390 --> 01:51:12,000 said you know you sit down for 10 2766 01:51:16,609 --> 01:51:14,400 minutes away and just think about 2767 01:51:19,370 --> 01:51:16,619 thinking when actually there's a much 2768 01:51:21,530 --> 01:51:19,380 kind of broader more interesting add to 2769 01:51:22,910 --> 01:51:21,540 it yeah there's a lot going on and you 2770 01:51:25,390 --> 01:51:22,920 want to learn it in a way that's going 2771 01:51:27,890 --> 01:51:25,400 to transfer but you know 2772 01:51:29,990 --> 01:51:27,900 the idea about meditation and stress 2773 01:51:33,070 --> 01:51:30,000 reduction is it gives you the idea of 2774 01:51:35,689 --> 01:51:33,080 meditation as a vacation from your life 2775 01:51:37,189 --> 01:51:35,699 meditation contemplation move all of 2776 01:51:39,050 --> 01:51:37,199 these things should be in education for 2777 01:51:40,490 --> 01:51:39,060 your life you should be learning them in 2778 01:51:42,350 --> 01:51:40,500 a way that is going to transfer as 2779 01:51:44,209 --> 01:51:42,360 broadly and deeply into areas of your 2780 01:51:46,189 --> 01:51:44,219 life as possible the Buddha actually 2781 01:51:47,810 --> 01:51:46,199 talks about this a lot he warns about 2782 01:51:49,669 --> 01:51:47,820 people who meditate to become sort of 2783 01:51:52,189 --> 01:51:49,679 contented like a cabbage 2784 01:51:54,770 --> 01:51:52,199 you don't want to be that contented like 2785 01:51:56,930 --> 01:51:54,780 a cabbage yeah just sort of happy to 2786 01:51:59,330 -->

bit frustrated because 2807 01:52:49,250 --> 01:52:46,920 whether I'm talking to people in the 2808 01:52:51,770 --> 01:52:49,260 University or old friends from school 2809 01:52:54,229 --> 01:52:51,780 they're always with their noses in their 2810 01:52:56,270 --> 01:52:54,239 phones and they aren't looking at their 2811 01:52:58,010 --> 01:52:56,280 phones to learn about our world or the 2812 01:52:59,689 --> 01:52:58,020 mysteries of our universe but they're 2813 01:53:02,350 --> 01:52:59,699 just there to build up their social 2814 01:53:04,910 --> 01:53:02,360 media platforms and being entertained so 2815 01:53:06,709 --> 01:53:04,920 I want to change that and I mean I want 2816 01:53:09,350 --> 01:53:06,719 to do my part in getting this 2817 01:53:11,510 --> 01:53:09,360

--> 01:53:16,440 about all of these amazing Mysteries and 2821 01:53:22,010 --> 01:53:18,719 looking at the strange world that most 2822 01:53:27,109 --> 01:53:24,709 right Dan Dan I'm curious what would 2823 01:53:30,410 --> 01:53:27,119 change if anything 2824 01:53:32,209 --> 01:53:30,420 uh well I'm sorry sorry that I keep 2825 01:53:33,350 --> 01:53:32,219 interrupting you I feel like we

there is no h in my name so it's just 2835 01:53:58,430 --> 01:53:55,500 c-r-i-s-t-i-n-a and then Gomez g-o-m-e-z 2836 01:54:02,530 --> 01:53:58,440 and also you can check out some of my 2837 01:54:07,370 --> 01:54:02,540 music at Cosmic portals as well 2838 01:54:12,169 --> 01:54:09,350 so yeah I was just gonna say like I love 2839 01:54:14,209 --> 01:54:12,179 Christina's idea and actually I'm 2840 01:54:16,250 --> 01:54:14,219 a few months back off my shackles and 2841 01:54:18,169 --> 01:54:16,260 quit my job and gave him my notes for my 2842 01:54:20,450 --> 01:54:18,179 flat and I'm on my first part of my 2843 01:54:21,649 --> 01:54:20,460 travels I spent Christmas Day at teotu 2844 01:54:22,850 --> 01:54:21,659 account 2845 01:54:24,470 --> 01:54:22,860 um do any kind of similar thing as 2846 01:54:26,510 --> 01:54:24,480 Christina suggested you know going out 2847 01:54:28,370 --> 01:54:26,520 and kind of really seeing these places 2848 01:54:29,689 --> 01:54:28,380 for yourself and trying to internalize 2849 01:54:32,689 --> 01:54:29,699 them and actually appreciate what they 2850 01:54:35,570 --> 01:54:32,699 mean for the world instead of just you 2851 01:54:37,490 --> 01:54:35,580 know scrolling through the latest things 2852 01:54:38,990 --> 01:54:37,500 on your phone 2853 01:54:40,850 --> 01:54:39,000 um and it's been really kind of an 2854 01:54:42,890 --> 01:54:40,860 amazing experience so I would take that 2855 01:54:45,410 --> 01:54:42,900 3 million and kind of invest the travels 2856 01:54:47,030 --> 01:54:45,420 and try and include as many people as 2857 01:54:50,149 --> 01:54:47,040 possible in it 2858 01:54:53,090 --> 01:54:50,159 um and I didn't have to forget but it 2859 01:54:55,910 --> 01:54:53,100 would be kind of contribute to something 2860 01:54:58,490 --> 01:54:55,920 like project Galileo or you know a real 2861 01:55:00,729 --> 01:54:58,500 ongoing scientific study of the the UAP 2862 01:55:03,530 --> 01:55:00,739 phenomena 2863 01:55:05,930 --> 01:55:03,540 great great Carlos 2864 01:55:07,790 --> 01:55:05,940 well I think I would just continue 2865 01:55:10,910 --> 01:55:07,800 um and I would donate a big chunk of 2866 01:55:13,490 --> 01:55:10,920 that if not all to to stmf to our 2867 01:55:15,290 --> 01:55:13,500 non-profit and we will probably build an 2868 01:55:17,450 --> 01:55:15,300 Institute with that money try to set up 2869 01:55:19,430 --> 01:55:17,460 like an actual research effort that is 2870 01:55:21,590 --> 01:55:19,440 not just trying to get researchers 2871 01:55:23,750 --> 01:55:21,600 together but actually try to fund some 2872 01:55:25,310 --> 01:55:23,760 some research and three million dollars 2873 01:55:28,129 --> 01:55:25,320 are about enough to get the research 2874 01:55:30,649 --> 01:55:28,139 going for a little bit and and so yeah 2875 01:55:32,870 --> 01:55:30,659 so it will go into a physical uh you 2876 01:55:34,910 --> 01:55:32,880 know location probably in beautiful 2877 01:55:37,490 --> 01:55:34,920 Mediterranean landscape like I am right 2878 01:55:39,229 --> 01:55:37,500 now and go for it for some kind of space 2879 01:55:41,810 --> 01:55:39,239 for retreat for intellectual Retreats 2880 01:55:43,729 --> 01:55:41,820 and yeah do great science do uh you know 2881 01:55:46,070 --> 01:55:43,739 this sort of multi-disciplinary across 2882 01:55:47,570 --> 01:55:46,080 boundaries kind of research uh that's 2883 01:55:48,590 --> 01:55:47,580 where the money will go for sure in my 2884 01:55:53,209 --> 01:55:48,600 case 2885 01:55:56,689 --> 01:55:54,950 you gotta get going John but before you 2886 01:55:58,250 --> 01:55:56,699 go if I have three questions I want to 2887 01:56:01,010 --> 01:55:58,260 know what nothing this is what Emptiness 2888 01:56:03,109 --> 01:56:01,020 is and in terms of the western sorry in 2889 01:56:04,729 --> 01:56:03,119 terms of disentangling it so disem 2890 01:56:07,189 --> 01:56:04,739 broiling it from the Western notion so 2891 01:56:09,590 --> 01:56:07,199 like where are we misguided in the 2892 01:56:14,030 --> 01:56:09,600 colloquially and then also what are your 2893 01:56:22,070 --> 01:56:15,310 um 2894 01:56:24,890 --> 01:56:22,080 nothingness is best understood as no 2895 01:56:27,890 --> 01:56:24,900 thickness which is the idea that we try 2896 01:56:30,050 --> 01:56:27,900 to think of Ultimate Reality sometimes 2897 01:56:31,790 --> 01:56:30,060 you can think of it as being with a 2898 01:56:33,050 --> 01:56:31,800 large B and we try to think of it the 2899 01:56:34,910 --> 01:56:33,060 way we think of individual beings 2900 01:56:36,050 --> 01:56:34,920 individual things we try to use the same 2901 01:56:37,750 --> 01:56:36,060 conceptual 2902 01:56:40,390 --> 01:56:37,760 uh 2903 01:56:43,669 --> 01:56:40,400 format same conceptual vocabulary 2904 01:56:46,070 --> 01:56:43,679 theoretical grammar that we use for 2905 01:56:49,070 --> 01:56:46,080 manipulating objects physical things 2906 01:56:52,189 --> 01:56:49,080 physical processes and we try to use 2907 01:56:55,010 --> 01:56:52,199 that uh to think about Ultimate Reality 2908 01:56:57,709 --> 01:56:55,020 per se and the Ultimate Reality is not 2909 01:57:00,050 --> 01:56:57,719 in that category so no thing this it is 2910 01:57:02,530 --> 01:57:00,060 not nothingness in the in the sense of 2911 01:57:05,209 --> 01:57:02,540 privation and an absolute lack 2912 01:57:07,010 --> 01:57:05,219 so there's a nihilistic sense of 2913 01:57:09,229 --> 01:57:07,020 nothingness which is different from a 2914 01:57:11,209 --> 01:57:09,239 superlative sense of no thickness which 2915 01:57:13,189 --> 01:57:11,219 is the absolute fullness of Ultimate 2916 01:57:15,410 --> 01:57:13,199 Reality that is the source and 2917 01:57:17,870 --> 01:57:15,420 sustaining ground of all of this which 2918 01:57:20,629 --> 01:57:17,880 is the exact opposite of nihilistic 2919 01:57:23,810 --> 01:57:20,639 nothingness and one of the great 2920 01:57:26,270 --> 01:57:23,820 criticisms that nishitani in religion 2921 01:57:28,189 --> 01:57:26,280 and nothingness actually religion and no 2922 01:57:30,050 --> 01:57:28,199 thickness makes a niche because nature 2923 01:57:32,450 --> 01:57:30,060 didn't get he didn't go deep enough you 2924 01:57:35,629 --> 01:57:32,460 got to the nihilistic nothingness but 2925 01:57:37,490 --> 01:57:35,639 didn't push through uh to you know thing 2926 01:57:38,870 --> 01:57:37,500 this and I think part of the way in 2927 01:57:40,790 --> 01:57:38,880 which which we can address the meeting 2928 01:57:44,030 --> 01:57:40,800 crisis is affording people the ability 2929 01:57:45,649 --> 01:57:44,040 to make that fundamental transformation 2930 01:57:48,970 --> 01:57:45,659 so sorry the way that you're explaining 2931 01:57:53,030 --> 01:57:48,980 it was as if nothing so Contracting 2932 01:57:56,270 --> 01:57:53,040 n-o-t-h-i-n-g is a step toward no thing 2933 01:57:58,430 --> 01:57:56,280 which is no dash thing yes yeah so you 2934 01:58:00,229 --> 01:57:58,440 in both the west and the east in the 2935 01:58:01,790 --> 01:58:00,239 East you have the great doubt of Zen In 2936 01:58:04,189 --> 01:58:01,800 The West you have the dark knighted Soul 2937 01:58:06,770 --> 01:58:04,199 there's a place in which when you 2938 01:58:09,649 --> 01:58:06,780 originally are pulling free from that 2939 01:58:13,209 --> 01:58:09,659 thingy way of thinking about everything 2940 01:58:16,310 --> 01:58:13,219 um you you just experience nothingness 2941 01:58:18,410 --> 01:58:16,320 before you get the emergence of the 2942 01:58:20,390 --> 01:58:18,420 breaking through the Satori dork Brook 2943 01:58:22,510 --> 01:58:20,400 breakthrough as Meister Eckhart called 2944 01:58:25,129 --> 01:58:22,520 of the no thingness 2945 01:58:27,770 --> 01:58:25,139 which is a different thing and so there 2946 01:58:28,910 --> 01:58:27,780 it's like an aspect shift it's like you 2947 01:58:31,790 --> 01:58:28,920 know you've seen those pictures where 2948 01:58:34,609 --> 01:58:31,800 it's like uh evolves and then you flip 2949 01:58:36,530 --> 01:58:34,619 and it's two faces right right it's that 2950 01:58:37,970 --> 01:58:36,540 kind of aspect shift you're not making 2951 01:58:39,109 --> 01:58:37,980 an inferential move because if you try 2952 01:58:40,850 --> 01:58:39,119 to make an inferential move you're 2953 01:58:43,250 --> 01:58:40,860 falling back into the thingy way of 2954 01:58:46,430 --> 01:58:43,260 thinking it's this it's this fundamental 2955 01:58:47,890 --> 01:58:46,440 comprehensive of aspect shift 2956 01:58:50,149 --> 01:58:47,900 that's the best thing 2957 01:58:52,609 --> 01:58:50,159 so many follow-up questions I have John 2958 01:58:53,510 --> 01:58:52,619 but before you go then let's just end 2959 01:58:57,050 --> 01:58:53,520 light 2960 01:58:57,060 --> 01:59:02,149 um I laid them all bear 2961 01:59:06,370 --> 01:59:03,050 um 2962 01:59:16,010 --> 01:59:07,910 yes 2963 01:59:18,770 --> 01:59:16,020 um very diligently follow a Socratic 2964 01:59:20,209 --> 01:59:18,780 path uh Marcus Aurelius I'm in good 2965 01:59:22,070 --> 01:59:20,219 company apparently had a very bad temper 2966 01:59:23,810 --> 01:59:22,080 so I take comfort of the fact that he 2967 01:59:25,669 --> 01:59:23,820 was able to be Marcus Aurelius with a 2968 01:59:28,430 --> 01:59:25,679 very bad temper 2969 01:59:30,050 --> 01:59:28,440 um so yeah I mean that's 2970 01:59:32,810 --> 01:59:30,060 um 2971 01:59:34,669 --> 01:59:32,820 and it's probably related to the fact 2972 01:59:36,169 --> 01:59:34,679 that underneath uh this Persona I'm 2973 01:59:38,209 --> 01:59:36,179 socially phobic 2974 01:59:40,430 --> 01:59:38,219 um because anger is usually a response 2975 01:59:43,070 --> 01:59:40,440 to a feeling of threat 2976 01:59:44,870 --> 01:59:43,080 um so that's probably my worst advice so 2977 01:59:47,330 --> 01:59:44,880 people who know me well and people who 2978 01:59:50,570 --> 01:59:47,340 love me in spite of my advice is I will 2979 01:59:54,290 --> 01:59:50,580 say if you push me too far too long 2980 01:59:56,870 --> 01:59:54,300 um it's not that Vice will sometimes 2981 02:00:00,229 --> 01:59:56,880 appear although I have been told by the 2982 02:00:01,930 --> 02:00:00,239 people who love me that I have made some 2983 02:00:06,530 --> 02:00:01,940 progress towards 2984 02:00:08,290

non-plussed when you become angry or 2988 02:00:17,750 --> 02:00:16,440 do you become more quick weighted 2989 02:00:19,910 --> 02:00:17,760 because there are two different types of 2990 02:00:22,430 --> 02:00:19,920 anger that I see in people some that are 2991 02:00:24,950 --> 02:00:22,440 they actually become more on point 2992 02:00:27,290 --> 02:00:24,960 all right others they just lose their

shortly now 3014 02:01:20,589 --> 02:01:17,820 it's just us podcasters Carlos I know 3015 02:01:23,750 --> 02:01:20,599 you got to get going as well 3016 02:01:28,430 --> 02:01:26,149 yes um it was it was a it was a great 3017 02:01:31,669 --> 02:01:28,440 pleasure to be here uh and perhaps I 3018 02:01:34,370 --> 02:01:31,679 could just say a couple words of uh for 3019 02:01:36,350 --> 02:01:34,380 for viewers if they're interested in the 3020 02:01:38,149 --> 02:01:36,360 kind of work that you and I Kurt might 3021 02:01:39,530 --> 02:01:38,159 be involved together at some point down 3022 02:01:41,750 --> 02:01:39,540 the line yep 3023 02:01:43,370 --> 02:01:41,760 um so yes it's a particular project for 3024 02:01:45,709 --> 02:01:43,380 everyone yeah there's a there's a 3025 02:01:48,530 --> 02:01:45,719 project in the shadows uh bringing uh 3026 02:01:51,589 --> 02:01:48,540 yes so uh so yes we we've started this 3027 02:01:53,450 --> 02:01:51,599 society that is trying to break the 3028 02:01:55,550 --> 02:01:53,460 boundaries of traditional disciplines uh 3029 02:01:58,370 --> 02:01:55,560 we began with you know our humble 3030 02:02:00,050 --> 02:01:58,380 beginnings here in in Spain as group of 3031 02:02:01,910 --> 02:02:00,060 students and then we're actually during 3032 02:02:03,890 --> 02:02:01,920 the pandemic we realized let's try and 3033 02:02:05,390 --> 02:02:03,900 uh you know go for the shoot for the 3034 02:02:07,250 --> 02:02:05,400 stars and just try to get all the 3035 02:02:08,990 --> 02:02:07,260 possible most interesting people most 3036 02:02:11,089 --> 02:02:09,000 interesting interesting profiles for 3037 02:02:12,709 --> 02:02:11,099 people in in our conferences which were 3038 02:02:14,270 --> 02:02:12,719 virtual during the pandemic now we're 3039 02:02:15,770 --> 02:02:14,280 trying to transition into more in-person 3040 02:02:17,810 --> 02:02:15,780 hybrids and so on 3041 02:02:20,750 --> 02:02:17,820 um and so the basic goal of the of this 3042 02:02:23,390 --> 02:02:20,760 Society is to to as I say break the 3043 02:02:25,070 --> 02:02:23,400 traditional boundaries but not in a sort 3044 02:02:26,689 --> 02:02:25,080 of methodical way that you just do you 3045 02:02:28,250 --> 02:02:26,699 know just destroying for the sake of 3046 02:02:29,930 --> 02:02:28,260 distraction and just disrupting but we 3047 02:02:31,910 --> 02:02:29,940 go after the fundamental mental 3048 02:02:33,290 --> 02:02:31,920 questions right we try to really go deep 3049 02:02:38,570 --> 02:02:33,300 for instance 3050 02:02:41,030 --> 02:02:38,580 what is the nature of reality in a in a 3051 02:02:44,209 --> 02:02:41,040 in a scientific sense so for example uh 3052 02:02:46,729 --> 02:02:44,219 going down to fundamental physics or uh 3053 02:02:48,770 --> 02:02:46,739 studies of cognitive science studies of 3054 02:02:50,149 --> 02:02:48,780 uh you know complexity science things 3055 02:02:52,790 --> 02:02:50,159 like this that are sort of permeating 3056 02:02:54,470 --> 02:02:52,800 are transversal to many different uh 3057 02:02:56,629 --> 02:02:54,480 many different fields 3058 02:02:57,950 --> 02:02:56,639 um and so the way we've done this so far 3059 02:02:59,810 --> 02:02:57,960 we have a podcast 3060 02:03:04,189 --> 02:02:59,820 um uh you you have a 3061 02:03:05,990 --> 02:03:04,199 links to this I'm sure uh but one way 3062 02:03:08,510 --> 02:03:06,000 will be in the description you can also 3063 02:03:10,250 --> 02:03:08,520 search the semf as one word all capitals 3064 02:03:13,430 --> 02:03:10,260 yes 3065 02:03:14,810 --> 02:03:13,440 um yeah so so basically uh I think the 3066 02:03:16,370 --> 02:03:14,820 best way to understand what we do is to 3067 02:03:18,589 --> 02:03:16,380 check some of the conferences in fact 3068 02:03:20,209 --> 02:03:18,599 Michael Levin was here earlier I was a 3069 02:03:22,669 --> 02:03:20,219 speaker in in the in the in the last 3070 02:03:24,770 --> 02:03:22,679 conference we had we choose a concept A 3071 02:03:27,290 --> 02:03:24,780 Very transversal you know General 3072 02:03:31,490 --> 02:03:27,300 concept like number uh two years ago 3073 02:03:33,830 --> 02:03:31,500 space this year and we try to 3074 02:03:35,990 --> 02:03:33,840 um we don't really ask for particular 3075 02:03:37,729 --> 02:03:36,000 prescriptions on it exactly we try to 3076 02:03:40,609 --> 02:03:37,739 get as many different facets of this 3077 02:03:41,930 --> 02:03:40,619 Crystal and so for remember I think it 3078 02:03:45,350 --> 02:03:41,940 was very very interesting we got 3079 02:03:48,410 --> 02:03:45,360 anything from you know uh psychologists 3080 02:03:50,030 --> 02:03:48,420 uh you know uh anthropologists to 3081 02:03:52,310 --> 02:03:50,040 mathematicians computer scientists 3082 02:03:54,410 --> 02:03:52,320 physicists but even uh we've got some 3083 02:03:56,450 --> 02:03:54,420 contributions from uh plan cognition 3084 02:03:58,430 --> 02:03:56,460 some people were doing uh the study of 3085 02:04:00,169 --> 02:03:58,440 plant remission and sort of intelligence 3086 02:04:02,390 --> 02:04:00,179 intelligent Behavior implants and so on 3087 02:04:04,850 --> 02:04:02,400 and where were mechanisms that were sort 3088 02:04:07,010 --> 02:04:04,860 of counting something in plant physio so 3089 02:04:09,129 --> 02:04:07,020 we have this you know after a week then 3090 02:04:11,629 --> 02:04:09,139 this conference is last you get this 3091 02:04:13,790 --> 02:04:11,639 kaleidoscopic perspective on this 3092 02:04:15,830 --> 02:04:13,800 centralized notion of space or sorry 3093 02:04:17,570 --> 02:04:15,840 number in this particular example and I 3094 02:04:19,850 --> 02:04:17,580 think this is basically what we aspire 3095 02:04:22,310 --> 02:04:19,860 to right we want to really gather 3096 02:04:24,470 --> 02:04:22,320 everyone around deep questions uh you 3097 02:04:26,089 --> 02:04:24,480 know have the space and time to really 3098 02:04:28,310 --> 02:04:26,099 go in the directions kind of breaking 3099 02:04:30,290 --> 02:04:28,320 the Dynamics of the research industry 3100 02:04:31,790 --> 02:04:30,300 that we have that it has has many you 3101 02:04:33,290 --> 02:04:31,800 were asking about vices before they have 3102 02:04:35,089 --> 02:04:33,300 many advices in this industry of 3103 02:04:36,589 --> 02:04:35,099 research it's just you know piecemeal 3104 02:04:38,930 --> 02:04:36,599 paper production this kind of thing is 3105 02:04:40,910 --> 02:04:38,940 very negative for for you know really 3106 02:04:42,649 --> 02:04:40,920 taking the time and exploring all the 3107 02:04:45,589 --> 02:04:42,659 all the other interesting questions that 3108 02:04:47,030 --> 02:04:45,599 maybe don't produce that much uh 3109 02:04:48,470 --> 02:04:47,040 Publications but they're you know 3110 02:04:49,910 --> 02:04:48,480 nonetheless the most interesting ones 3111 02:04:51,649 --> 02:04:49,920 and so that's kind of what we what we 3112 02:04:54,169 --> 02:04:51,659 try to do and we you know we're trying 3113 02:04:56,149 --> 02:04:54,179 to set up meetings in person to do 3114 02:04:58,070 --> 02:04:56,159 retreats to do sort of research Retreats 3115 02:04:59,689 --> 02:04:58,080 intellectual Retreats uh but at the same 3116 02:05:01,250 --> 02:04:59,699 time we also want to keep a sort of a 3117 02:05:03,830 --> 02:05:01,260 constant flow of podcasts and people you 3118 02:05:05,089 --> 02:05:03,840 know invite uh I mean Kurt was there was 3119 02:05:06,649 --> 02:05:05,099 a guest that when we talked about the 3120 02:05:08,030 --> 02:05:06,659 phenomenon of podcasts and what it means 3121 02:05:11,209 --> 02:05:08,040 for scientific communication and the 3122 02:05:13,669 --> 02:05:11,219 future of of uh just knowledge diffusion 3123 02:05:15,649 --> 02:05:13,679 in in society and so on so yeah I 3124 02:05:17,209 --> 02:05:15,659 welcome everyone to I mean it's you know 3125 02:05:18,410 --> 02:05:17,219 we are non-profits so everything is as 3126 02:05:20,390 -->

podcast is here so so let me ask you 3141 02:05:55,010 --> 02:05:53,280 guys from this year who was your 3142 02:05:58,209 --> 02:05:55,020 favorite person to interview and 3143 02:06:01,129 --> 02:05:58,219 specifically why wasn't it's even great 3144 02:06:03,890 --> 02:06:01,139 okay I'll let Christina go first and 3145 02:06:08,870 --> 02:06:03,900 then you well no Daniel asked you first 3146 02:06:12,770 --> 02:06:11,570 yeah I'll take the hosts the host brain 3147 02:06:15,229 --> 02:06:12,780 I'm gonna mute everyone except you 3148 02:06:18,890 --> 02:06:15,239 Christina I'm sorry 3149 02:06:21,169 --> 02:06:18,900 okay you're on the spot all right the my 3150 02:06:23,510 --> 02:06:21,179 favorite person that I interviewed this 3151 02:06:27,050 --> 02:06:23,520 year on Shifting the Paradigm was 3152 02:06:29,689 --> 02:06:27,060 retired Navajo Ranger John Dover 3153 02:06:31,790 --> 02:06:29,699 um he absolutely blew my mind with the 3154 02:06:34,609 --> 02:06:31,800 research that he did with Skin Walkers 3155 02:06:37,669 --> 02:06:34,619 UFOs and Bigfoot and to keep in mind 3156 02:06:39,530 --> 02:06:37,679 that he has a badge right being a part 3157 02:06:41,930 --> 02:06:39,540 of the police force and not the the 3158 02:06:43,850 --> 02:06:41,940 Navajo Rangers but aside from that one 3159 02:06:46,129 --> 02:06:43,860 it probably had to be the owner of 3160 02:06:48,770 --> 02:06:46,139 Skinwalker Ranch Brandon fugle as well 3161 02:06:50,750 --> 02:06:48,780 that interview also blew my mind there 3162 02:06:53,570 --> 02:06:50,760 were so many burning questions that I 3163 02:06:55,850 --> 02:06:53,580 wanted to ask him that I was given the 3164 02:06:58,609 --> 02:06:55,860 privilege to do so but I think all of my 3165 02:07:01,189 --> 02:06:58,619 guests they have all taught me something 3166 02:07:03,229 --> 02:07:01,199 in this entire year of 2022 so they were 3167 02:07:06,169 --> 02:07:03,239 all fantastic but those two in 3168 02:07:08,089 --> 02:07:06,179 particular I think really stood out in a 3169 02:07:10,850 --> 02:07:08,099 very specific way but I mean the 3170 02:07:13,189 --> 02:07:10,860 interviews um of those who I have 3171 02:07:14,510 --> 02:07:13,199 burning questions for I bring them on 3172 02:07:16,550 --> 02:07:14,520 the show I'm like I have questions for 3173 02:07:19,250 --> 02:07:16,560 you I'm going to speak to you ASAP 3174 02:07:21,229 --> 02:07:19,260 because I think that when we sit on 3175 02:07:23,209 --> 02:07:21,239 those questions for too long either they 3176 02:07:26,149 --> 02:07:23,219 dissipate or they become more of a 3177 02:07:27,890 --> 02:07:26,159 burning question and I think that when 3178 02:07:29,870 --> 02:07:27,900 we have those questions we need to ask 3179 02:07:32,750 --> 02:07:29,880 them right away of course after doing a 3180 02:07:34,070 --> 02:07:32,760 little bit of research beforehand right 3181 02:07:36,589 -->

02:09:52,910 --> 02:09:50,580 then you'll move upward correct so which 3232 02:09:55,490 --> 02:09:52,920 one's your first video yeah 3233 02:09:58,129 --> 02:09:55,500 so 3234 02:09:59,990 --> 02:09:58,139 this time last year we were you know the 3235 02:10:02,030 --> 02:10:00,000 the ndaa has passed with the UAP 3236 02:10:04,790 --> 02:10:02,040 language in it uh this time last year we 3237 02:10:07,790 --> 02:10:04,800 had another set of UAP language and 3238 02:10:10,310 --> 02:10:07,800 legislation passing so we were kind of 3239 02:10:12,050 --> 02:10:10,320 this yeah we were we were critiquing 3240 02:10:14,990 --> 02:10:12,060 that legislation kind of talking about 3241 02:10:16,729 --> 02:10:15,000 what it needs to to be more robust 3242 02:10:19,970 --> 02:10:16,739 um and as Leo's gone on as we go through 3243 02:10:23,689 --> 02:10:19,980 kind of the uh you know people like Gary 3244 02:10:25,669 --> 02:10:23,699 talking about essentially how to make it 3245 02:10:28,310 --> 02:10:25,679 a more robust legislation 3246 02:10:30,950 --> 02:10:28,320 um so this lower stuff come in we've had 3247 02:10:33,470 --> 02:10:30,960 the secure system uh for submitting 3248 02:10:36,709 --> 02:10:33,480 information on uh special access 3249 02:10:38,450 --> 02:10:36,719 programs and things like that uh so it's 3250 02:10:39,350 --> 02:10:38,460 been an amazing year kind of seeing that 3251 02:10:42,169 --> 02:10:39,360 develop 3252 02:10:42,910 --> 02:10:42,179 side that we've had people like Simeon 3253 02:10:46,189 --> 02:10:42,920 high 3254 02:10:47,750 --> 02:10:46,199 he does a remote viewing course and kind 3255 02:10:49,310 --> 02:10:47,760 of does a lot of work with crop circles 3256 02:10:51,169 --> 02:10:49,320 and Bowl lighting 3257 02:10:52,850 --> 02:10:51,179 um and this year I was lucky on one of 3258 02:10:54,350 --> 02:10:52,860 his reviewing courses and actually kind 3259 02:10:55,790 --> 02:10:54,360 of experienced that for myself which was 3260 02:10:57,410 --> 02:10:55,800 really interesting 3261 02:10:59,870 --> 02:10:57,420 um and I've taught a few people in my 3262 02:11:02,030 --> 02:10:59,880 life kind of how to use it and what's 3263 02:11:05,030 --> 02:11:02,040 most amazing about it is that not only 3264 02:11:06,770 --> 02:11:05,040 does it work but secondly that 3265 02:11:08,149 --> 02:11:06,780 it brings along with a whole bunch of 3266 02:11:10,729 --> 02:11:08,159 mindfulness kind of skills because 3267 02:11:12,770 --> 02:11:10,739 you're all kind of inquiring in wood to 3268 02:11:15,350 --> 02:11:12,780 find that voice that aids the remote 3269 02:11:19,250 --> 02:11:15,360 viewing so I would say it's a form of 3270 02:11:21,290 --> 02:11:19,260 meditation uh we also in February 3271 02:11:23,870 --> 02:11:21,300 um self and Vinnie Adams from disclosure 3272 02:11:27,649 --> 02:11:23,880 team we went out to Colombia to 3273 02:11:31,370 --> 02:11:27,659 investigate uh a light phenomena a 3274 02:11:33,050 --> 02:11:31,380 mountain uh and they were called the 3275 02:11:34,310 --> 02:11:33,060 dancing lights and we were there for 3276 02:11:36,470 --> 02:11:34,320 about two weeks talking to a lot of 3277 02:11:38,810 --> 02:11:36,480 witnesses and things like that about 3278 02:11:40,189 --> 02:11:38,820 this kind of live laboratory and on the 3279 02:11:43,129 --> 02:11:40,199 very last day we actually got to film 3280 02:11:45,109 --> 02:11:43,139 The Lights as well so not only did we go 3281 02:11:47,629 --> 02:11:45,119 and investigate it we confirmed we're 3282 02:11:49,729 --> 02:11:47,639 there we filmed HD video of it and we're 3283 02:11:50,750 --> 02:11:49,739 going back in I want to say about three 3284 02:11:55,070 --> 02:11:50,760 months 3285 02:11:59,270 --> 02:11:57,530 so the series has been released that's 3286 02:12:01,370 --> 02:11:59,280 on Vimeo 3287 02:12:03,470 --> 02:12:01,380 um it's called phenomenology 3288 02:12:05,570 --> 02:12:03,480 and yeah you can kind of watch out 3289 02:12:07,669 --> 02:12:05,580 translations because even a few times 3290 02:12:09,410 --> 02:12:07,679 during it where we we prove things back 3291 02:12:10,490 --> 02:12:09,420 that we thought were maybe not prosaic 3292 02:12:12,709 --> 02:12:10,500 at the beginning so we're all very 3293 02:12:14,270 --> 02:12:12,719 honest about it and there's a nice big 3294 02:12:15,770 --> 02:12:14,280 people there that some are more 3295 02:12:18,050 --> 02:12:15,780 skeptical some are more practical some 3296 02:12:19,609 --> 02:12:18,060 are a bit more woo like myself and we 3297 02:12:21,649 --> 02:12:19,619 all balance each other out so I think 3298 02:12:23,270 --> 02:12:21,659 it's a really good demonstration of how 3299 02:12:25,850 --> 02:12:23,280 you can invest these things and not take 3300 02:12:27,229 --> 02:12:25,860 it personally you know 3301 02:12:29,510 --> 02:12:27,239 okay let's go through this quick and 3302 02:12:32,149 --> 02:12:29,520 just find your favorite for whatever 3303 02:12:35,450 --> 02:12:32,159 reason podcast of the year 3304 02:12:37,970 --> 02:12:35,460 who or guest of the year 3305 02:12:39,530 --> 02:12:37,980 okay so my my guess is going to be 3306 02:12:41,930 --> 02:12:39,540 Michelle foney 3307 02:12:44,810 --> 02:12:41,940 um she there's a great documentary 3308 02:12:47,270 --> 02:12:44,820 called fathom that's all about her and 3309 02:12:48,530 --> 02:12:47,280 her team working to essentially decode 3310 02:12:50,030 --> 02:12:48,540 whale song 3311 02:12:52,430 --> 02:12:50,040 um and it's really quite a profound 3312 02:12:54,109 --> 02:12:52,440 touching documentary but for me the 3313 02:12:55,850 --> 02:12:54,119 reason that I wanted to talk to her was 3314 02:12:57,050 --> 02:12:55,860 because actually she's one of the people 3315 02:12:59,629 --> 02:12:57,060 the government would send black 3316 02:13:01,189 --> 02:12:59,639 helicopters to get if alien landed 3317 02:13:03,290 --> 02:13:01,199 um to kind of try and understand the 3318 02:13:05,209 --> 02:13:03,300 communicate and translate and it was 3319 02:13:07,189 --> 02:13:05,219 really interesting to hearing her talk 3320 02:13:10,729 --> 02:13:07,199 about 3321 02:13:12,950 --> 02:13:10,739 the the culture of Wales and how they 3322 02:13:16,490 --> 02:13:12,960 interact and how they see the world 3323 02:13:19,129 --> 02:13:16,500 um and there was actually a particular 3324 02:13:20,930 --> 02:13:19,139 they found that all whales make no 3325 02:13:22,189 --> 02:13:20,940 matter what no matter where in the world 3326 02:13:23,689 --> 02:13:22,199 they are 3327 02:13:25,609 --> 02:13:23,699 um and essentially the sound is the 3328 02:13:27,410 --> 02:13:25,619 whale shouting I am and they're not 3329 02:13:29,510 --> 02:13:27,420 defined until another whale kind of 3330 02:13:32,089 --> 02:13:29,520 shouts I am back and I found that quite 3331 02:13:33,770 --> 02:13:32,099 uh profound with a statement there uh so 3332 02:13:36,169 --> 02:13:33,780 yeah that was really moving and I'd very 3333 02:13:38,209 --> 02:13:36,179 much recommend fathom to anyone one of 3334 02:13:39,890 --> 02:13:38,219 these UAP adjacent things 3335 02:13:43,669 --> 02:13:39,900 hmm 3336 02:13:47,030 --> 02:13:43,679 okay let's go through Christina's 3337

02:17:09,359 I feel like I'm not so I'm myself in a 3414 02:17:11,870 --> 02:17:10,859 certain sense I'll say I'm another 3415 02:17:13,730 --> 02:17:11,880 question I have for you is like what's 3416 02:17:15,349 --> 02:17:13,740 the difference between my podcast self 3417 02:17:17,270 --> 02:17:15,359 and then what I'm like off here but I 3418 02:17:19,549 --> 02:17:17,280 feel like my true self

and it's like cuddly 3426 02:17:39,230 --> 02:17:36,780 and I feel like all of this is just some 3427 02:17:41,990 --> 02:17:39,240 presentation anything that's not that 3428 02:17:45,110 --> 02:17:42,000 that's not just this cuddly 3429 02:17:47,750 --> 02:17:45,120 cute and adoring and endearing and 3430 02:17:49,669 --> 02:17:47,760 devoted and tender Kurt along with my 3431 02:17:52,730 --> 02:17:49,679 wife then it's just I feel like that's 3432 02:17:53,990 --> 02:17:52,740 my true self so I'm curious what's the 3433 02:17:56,089 --> 02:17:54,000 difference between 3434 02:17:57,230 --> 02:17:56,099 the self the one that we see now and 3435 02:18:00,530 --> 02:17:57,240 then what you feel like is your true 3436 02:18:03,770 --> 02:18:00,540 self what do you like all fair 3437 02:18:07,969 --> 02:18:03,780 I'm I myself in my podcasts it is just 3438 02:18:10,549 --> 02:18:07,979 me on my channel but I am I'm burning 3439 02:18:13,009 --> 02:18:10,559 with curiosity I have I have these 3440 02:18:16,190 --> 02:18:13,019 questions trying to talk to my peers at 3441 02:18:17,450 --> 02:18:16,200 College about them as and and about 3442 02:18:19,250 --> 02:18:17,460 these questions it's completely 3443 02:18:21,830 --> 02:18:19,260 pointless attempting to ask them these 3444 02:18:23,629 --> 02:18:21,840 things but for me life is just like one 3445 02:18:25,429 --> 02:18:23,639 big mystery just kind of like the 3446 02:18:27,770 --> 02:18:25,439 questions that you ask on your channel 3447 02:18:30,290 --> 02:18:27,780 Kurt and Dan as well like the big 3448 02:18:33,410 --> 02:18:30,300 questions such as was there a big bang 3449 02:18:35,810 --> 02:18:33,420 and if so what came before it is there 3450 02:18:38,330 --> 02:18:35,820 an all-powerful Creator God are we 3451 02:18:40,490 --> 02:18:38,340 living in some kind of simulation what 3452 02:18:42,410 --> 02:18:40,500 is the source of our Consciousness why 3453 02:18:45,410 --> 02:18:42,420 are we here is there life after death 3454 02:18:47,570 --> 02:18:45,420 are we alone in the universe and have we 3455 02:18:50,150 --> 02:18:47,580 been visited by sanction beings from 3456 02:18:52,129 --> 02:18:50,160 other worlds and other dimensions so 3457 02:18:54,650 --> 02:18:52,139 that is the kind of search that I live 3458 02:18:57,230 --> 02:18:54,660 for and I have so many questions 3459 02:18:58,129 --> 02:18:57,240 regarding that Abby hi there how you 3460 02:19:05,810 --> 02:18:58,139 doing 3461 02:19:08,629 --> 02:19:05,820 as a Galileo project is here 3462 02:19:11,929 --> 02:19:08,639 he has he has a book called Interstellar 3463 02:19:14,150 --> 02:19:11,939 and I will be putting links shortly so 3464 02:19:16,009 --> 02:19:14,160 Sam what's the difference between the 3465 02:19:17,810 --> 02:19:16,019 Avi that I'm speaking to right now and 3466 02:19:20,330 --> 02:19:17,820 then what you feel like is your true Avi 3467 02:19:22,370 --> 02:19:20,340 which is off camera you I don't know if 3468 02:19:23,389 --> 02:19:22,380 you feel like it's your true self is due 3469 02:19:24,770 --> 02:19:23,399 with your wife are you with your family 3470 02:19:26,810 --> 02:19:24,780 or is it something else maybe you're out 3471 02:19:30,530 --> 02:19:26,820 in nature you feel like that's you 3472 02:19:31,310 --> 02:19:30,540 well there is no difference and uh by 3473 02:19:36,230 --> 02:19:31,320 the way 3474 02:19:38,690 --> 02:19:36,240 received it from my parents and just 3475 02:19:40,790 --> 02:19:38,700 like buying a car from a dealer you're 3476 02:19:44,509 --> 02:19:40,800 not responsible for the parts that make 3477 02:19:47,089 --> 02:19:44,519 it and uh so I don't feel any special 3478 02:19:49,790 --> 02:19:47,099 connection to what I call myself I mean 3479 02:19:52,490 --> 02:19:49,800 I just carry it around with me it's not 3480 02:19:55,070 --> 02:19:52,500 as if I understand my internal organs 3481 02:19:57,050 --> 02:19:55,080 better than I understand other people's 3482 02:19:59,570 --> 02:19:57,060 organs better 3483 02:20:01,370 --> 02:19:59,580 um and so um all together 3484 02:20:03,830 --> 02:20:01,380 um you know what I'm really curious 3485 02:20:06,590 --> 02:20:03,840 about is the you know the universe the 3486 02:20:08,510 --> 02:20:06,600 reality that we all share and 3487 02:20:10,730 --> 02:20:08,520 um to me that that is a fascinating 3488 02:20:14,150 --> 02:20:10,740 Journey trying to figure it out and you 3489 02:20:16,490 --> 02:20:14,160 know when I will get closer to death and 3490 02:20:18,830 --> 02:20:16,500 that would not frighten me but I was 3491 02:20:22,190 --> 02:20:18,840 asked actually today on a podcast what 3492 02:20:25,550 --> 02:20:22,200 do I want the writing to be on on my 3493 02:20:27,290 --> 02:20:25,560 tune Tombstone and uh I said that's 3494 02:20:29,810 --> 02:20:27,300 something that is not particularly 3495 02:20:32,210 --> 02:20:29,820 important for me because well first of 3496 02:20:35,929 --> 02:20:32,220 all I'm hopeful that every year that 3497 02:20:37,429 --> 02:20:35,939 passes and our lifespan will increase by 3498 02:20:40,250 --> 02:20:37,439 more than a year so that I will live 3499 02:20:42,410 --> 02:20:40,260 forever but if it doesn't happen you 3500 02:20:44,450 --> 02:20:42,420 know I would much rather have an 3501 02:20:47,030 --> 02:20:44,460 artificial intelligence system an AI 3502 02:20:49,849 --> 02:20:47,040 system that sort of follows on my 3503 02:20:52,610 --> 02:20:49,859 guiding principles and carries my flame 3504 02:20:56,750 --> 02:20:52,620 of Consciousness into the future and 3505 02:20:59,990 --> 02:20:56,760 um in a way that will be the same Avi 3506 02:21:01,790 --> 02:21:00,000 but now machine learning and you would 3507 02:21:04,370 --> 02:21:01,800 be able to interact with it and I think 3508 02:21:07,010 --> 02:21:04,380 we are getting to that time where AI 3509 02:21:10,309 --> 02:21:07,020 systems will replace people after they 3510 02:21:12,230 --> 02:21:10,319 die and you know then I would feel much 3511 02:21:14,990 --> 02:21:12,240 better about it because the physical 3512 02:21:18,650 --> 02:21:15,000 death of my body is just like you know a 3513 02:21:20,990 --> 02:21:18,660 car stopping stops working and you just 3514 02:21:23,630 --> 02:21:21,000 put it in a junkyard but if you have a 3515 02:21:29,230 --> 02:21:23,640 newer car that functions better and does 3516 02:21:38,090 --> 02:21:34,330 great great answer Dan so Evan also 3517 02:21:41,990 --> 02:21:38,100 Jackson ask him about anything 3518 02:21:43,910 --> 02:21:42,000 so tonight yes hello guys so this is the 3519 02:21:44,730 --> 02:21:43,920 first time Beckham I'm meeting you isn't 3520 02:21:46,070 --> 02:21:44,740 it 3521 02:21:47,990 --> 02:21:46,080 [Music] 3522 02:21:50,270 --> 02:21:48,000 good evening yeah this is the first time 3523 02:21:54,230 --> 02:21:50,280 that's that's right that's right um I'm 3524 02:21:57,050 --> 02:21:54,240 not a UFO uh I'm not very knowledgeable 3525 02:22:06,370 --> 02:21:57,060 on UFO so I I UFO so I don't know how 3526 02:22:06,380 --> 02:22:10,370 sorry you were in the middle 3527 02:22:14,210 --> 02:22:12,230 oh yeah so I I just sounded really 3528 02:22:16,490 --> 02:22:14,220 curious when everything about transfer 3529 02:22:17,929 --> 02:22:16,500 and his his Consciousness into a new car 3530 02:22:20,630 --> 02:22:17,939 so to speak 3531 02:22:22,910 --> 02:22:20,640 um does that kind of speak to whether 3532 02:22:24,830 --> 02:22:22,920 Abby thinks Consciousness is emergent or 3533 02:22:26,809 --> 02:22:24,840 fundamental to the universe 3534 02:22:29,210 --> 02:22:26,819 yeah I do think that we are just a 3535 02:22:31,550 --> 02:22:29,220 complex machine you see and uh the way 3536 02:22:34,610 --> 02:22:31,560 to prove it is if we construct out of 3537 02:22:37,190 --> 02:22:34,620 silicon computers that would be sentient 3538 02:22:39,050 --> 02:22:37,200 you know that we will have a sentient AI 3539 02:22:41,870 --> 02:22:39,060 hopefully within a decade or maybe 3540 02:22:43,670 --> 02:22:41,880 already in some places 3541 02:22:45,230 --> 02:22:43,680 um you know then it will be clear that 3542 02:22:48,349 --> 02:22:45,240 it's an emergent phenomena if you can't 3543 02:22:50,750 --> 02:22:48,359 tell the difference between uh an AI 3544 02:22:54,590 --> 02:22:50,760 system and a human then there is no 3545 02:22:57,050 --> 02:22:54,600 difference okay because uh you know we 3546 02:23:00,590 --> 02:22:57,060 are complex and obviously we imagine 3547 02:23:03,469 --> 02:23:00,600 that there is something extra but 3548 02:23:05,929 --> 02:23:03,479 um you know I think death of a person 3549 02:23:08,990 --> 02:23:05,939 might be just like unplugging a computer 3550 02:23:12,050 --> 02:23:09,000 from the wall and ultimately when we 3551 02:23:14,809 --> 02:23:12,060 will have sentient AI systems we will 3552 02:23:16,370 --> 02:23:14,819 not be allowed to unplug them from the 3553 02:23:19,190 --> 02:23:16,380 wall just like we are not allowed to 3554 02:23:21,349 --> 02:23:19,200 pull a trigger and kill a person of 3555 02:23:26,950 --> 02:23:21,359 course there could be Electric outages 3556 02:23:30,590 --> 02:23:29,150 because there is something I like to say 3557 02:23:32,870 --> 02:23:30,600 about this if 3558 02:23:36,290 --> 02:23:32,880 you please go Jack please jump in please 3559 02:23:38,450 --> 02:23:36,300 yeah it may be stupid but it's uh the 3560 02:23:40,610 --> 02:23:38,460 way I think about this about artificial 3561 02:23:42,950 --> 02:23:40,620 intelligence it's in the end it may look 3562 02:23:44,809 --> 02:23:42,960 like uh sentience that's always the 3563 02:23:46,610 --> 02:23:44,819 question does it rather look like 3564 02:23:49,309 --> 02:23:46,620 sentient so Consciousness or is it 3565 02:23:50,870 --> 02:23:49,319 really conscience but the my main 3566 02:23:53,690 --> 02:23:50,880 problem with artificial intelligence 3567 02:23:57,889 --> 02:23:53,700 being well conscience or not or sentient 3568 02:24:00,830 --> 02:23:57,899 is that sure we do we train artificial 3569 02:24:02,510 --> 02:24:00,840 intelligence to do certain stuff but in 3570 02:24:04,070 --> 02:24:02,520 the end the program is the one who 3571 02:24:05,690 --> 02:24:04,080 selects 3572 02:24:08,870 --> 02:24:05,700 which 3573 02:24:10,550 --> 02:24:08,880 Direction the AI should go in you 3574 02:24:12,950 --> 02:24:10,560 if you're a programmer you have certain 3575 02:24:14,210 --> 02:24:12,960 weights to certain 3576 02:24:18,290 --> 02:24:14,220 um 3577 02:24:20,809 --> 02:24:18,300 endpoints you want to reach so yeah I 3578 02:24:24,170 --> 02:24:20,819 assume that you don't have children 3579 02:24:25,910 --> 02:24:24,180 no right because if you had children you 3580 02:24:28,370 --> 02:24:25,920 would realize that their parents have a 3581 02:24:30,710 --> 02:24:28,380 very important role to play when they 3582 02:24:31,690 --> 02:24:30,720 educate a child as to what the child is 3583 02:24:34,370 --> 02:24:31,700 thinking 3584 02:24:38,270 --> 02:24:34,380 and I don't see any difference between 3585 02:24:42,469 --> 02:24:38,280 educating a child and guiding a very 3586 02:24:44,630 --> 02:24:42,479 sophisticated AI algorithm so that at 3587 02:24:46,370 --> 02:24:44,640 the end of the day you know millions or 3588 02:24:49,309 --> 02:24:46,380 billions of people will not be able to 3589 02:24:52,370 --> 02:24:49,319 tell the difference between them 3590 02:24:54,590 --> 02:24:52,380 chatting with that AI system and them 3591 02:24:57,730 --> 02:24:54,600 chatting with a person now you can 3592 02:25:00,710 --> 02:24:57,740 always think that we are we have a 3593 02:25:02,510 --> 02:25:00,720 superiority but this is just wishful 3594 02:25:04,969 --> 02:25:02,520 thinking if you if nobody can tell the 3595 02:25:06,770 --> 02:25:04,979 difference then there is no difference 3596 02:25:08,389 --> 02:25:06,780 well it's necessary not necessarily 3597 02:25:09,710 --> 02:25:08,399 superiority it's just there's a certain 3598 02:25:13,070 --> 02:25:09,720 thing going on that we don't understand 3599 02:25:15,110 --> 02:25:13,080 and that is that is how we we make these 3600 02:25:17,750 --> 02:25:15,120 value judgments in the first place so we 3601 02:25:20,389 --> 02:25:17,760 can teach an AI to uh approach a certain 3602 02:25:22,309 --> 02:25:20,399 direction we like but we cannot 3603 02:25:24,469 --> 02:25:22,319 necessarily formalize the way we do this 3604 02:25:26,389 --> 02:25:24,479 what I'm telling you is that when you 3605 02:25:29,389 --> 02:25:26,399 educate a kid 3606 02:25:32,090 --> 02:25:29,399 you are also doing the same thing 3607 02:25:34,910 --> 02:25:32,100 yes but the kid already has a propensity 3608 02:25:37,190 --> 02:25:34,920 to uh use that same system that that 3609 02:25:38,870 --> 02:25:37,200 uses values and we don't know exactly 3610 02:25:40,910 --> 02:25:38,880 how that works at least that's that's if 3611 02:25:42,710 --> 02:25:40,920 I listen to John for fakey or things 3612 02:25:43,910 --> 02:25:42,720 like that humans are not computers and 3613 02:25:44,950 --> 02:25:43,920 there are there's there are some good 3614 02:25:48,170 --> 02:25:44,960 reasons 3615 02:25:50,270 --> 02:25:48,180 you can wishfully say humans are not 3616 02:25:52,670 --> 02:25:50,280 computer you can wishfully say oh the 3617 02:25:54,950 --> 02:25:52,680 computer is dumb you know it's just a 3618 02:25:57,230 --> 02:25:54,960 machine I'm superior you can say a lot 3619 02:25:59,750 --> 02:25:57,240 of things but as a matter of fact if I 3620 02:26:02,929 --> 02:25:59,760 have the touring test to billions of 3621 02:26:05,030 --> 02:26:02,939 people for decades and nobody can tell 3622 02:26:07,010 --> 02:26:05,040 the difference between a computer and a 3623 02:26:08,690 --> 02:26:07,020 person then to me there is no difference 3624 02:26:10,969 --> 02:26:08,700 now you can talk philosophically about 3625 02:26:12,469 --> 02:26:10,979 differences but if there is no way to 3626 02:26:14,210 --> 02:26:12,479 tell the difference then there is no 3627 02:26:16,190 --> 02:26:14,220 difference that's fair enough that's 3628 02:26:18,590 --> 02:26:16,200 fair enough because I do agree with you 3629 02:26:20,210 --> 02:26:18,600 that that level you know probably in our 3630 02:26:21,410 --> 02:26:20,220 lifetime become a point that that we 3631 02:26:24,349 --> 02:26:21,420 will not be able to tell the difference 3632 02:26:25,910 --> 02:26:24,359 at least through through chat the next 3633 02:26:27,969 --> 02:26:25,920 problem is making a side work that 3634 02:26:30,070 --> 02:26:27,979 actually looks like a human and 3635 02:26:32,750 --> 02:26:30,080 muscles that actually work 3636 02:26:35,090 --> 02:26:32,760 we were talking about Consciousness and 3637 02:26:37,849 --> 02:26:35,100 if you ever I actually had Stephen 3638 02:26:39,530 --> 02:26:37,859 Hawking at my home okay Stephen Hawking 3639 02:26:42,349 --> 02:26:39,540 could not move a muscle 3640 02:26:44,150 --> 02:26:42,359 okay so it's not a matter of being cool 3641 02:26:45,889 --> 02:26:44,160 or not cool I'm just telling you he 3642 02:26:48,830 --> 02:26:45,899 could not move a muscle 3643 02:26:51,849 --> 02:26:48,840 he could not he barely moved his eyebrow 3644 02:26:55,010 --> 02:26:51,859 so then you are telling me that the body 3645 02:26:58,190 --> 02:26:55,020 of Stephen Hawking was actually much 3646 02:27:00,590 --> 02:26:58,200 more than the body of a computer no 3647 02:27:02,870 --> 02:27:00,600 because both of them cannot behave like 3648 02:27:05,090 --> 02:27:02,880 a cyborg I don't need a cyborg in order 3649 02:27:07,490 --> 02:27:05,100 to definitely Stephen Hawking had 3650 02:27:10,309 --> 02:27:07,500 Consciousness nobody doubts yeah yeah I 3651 02:27:13,190 --> 02:27:10,319 agree I agree yeah even had affairs with 3652 02:27:15,889 --> 02:27:13,200 the people with one of the nurses that 3653 02:27:18,170 --> 02:27:15,899 took care of him so obviously he had a 3654 02:27:21,469 --> 02:27:18,180 Consciousness it has nothing to do with 3655 02:27:24,650 --> 02:27:21,479 having a seaborg reproducing our ability 3656 02:27:27,110 --> 02:27:24,660 to run to lift things nothing because he 3657 02:27:30,230 --> 02:27:27,120 didn't lift anything he didn't move he 3658 02:27:33,410 --> 02:27:30,240 couldn't even move the the chicks on his 3659 02:27:37,690 --> 02:27:33,420 face so you would not say that Stephen 3660 02:27:42,290 --> 02:27:39,889 while on the topic of artificial 3661 02:27:44,990 --> 02:27:42,300 intelligence Avi I interviewed back in 3662 02:27:46,550 --> 02:27:45,000 2021 and there was one question that I 3663 02:27:48,650 --> 02:27:46,560 didn't get to ask and I think now's just 3664 02:27:51,230 --> 02:27:48,660 a great moment to ask that and that is 3665 02:27:54,349 --> 02:27:51,240 in your opinion what is the percentage 3666 02:27:57,230 --> 02:27:54,359 estimate like How likely is it that some 3667 02:28:00,290 --> 02:27:57,240 UFOs if not from our world are actually 3668 02:28:02,389 --> 02:28:00,300 piloted by AI rather than biological 3669 02:28:04,670 --> 02:28:02,399 entities can you give us your thoughts 3670 02:28:07,849 --> 02:28:04,680 on this yeah I think it's very likely 3671 02:28:10,370 --> 02:28:07,859 because you see um biological creatures 3672 02:28:13,730 --> 02:28:10,380 were selected by Natural Evolution to 3673 02:28:16,070 --> 02:28:13,740 survive on a rock like the Earth with an 3674 02:28:17,690 --> 02:28:16,080 atmosphere and you know quite balanced 3675 02:28:19,250 --> 02:28:17,700 conditions if you put them in space 3676 02:28:21,590 --> 02:28:19,260 first of all they would not be long 3677 02:28:24,050 --> 02:28:21,600 lived enough to survive the journey it 3678 02:28:25,849 --> 02:28:24,060 takes even for at the speed of light it 3679 02:28:28,309 --> 02:28:25,859 takes tens of thousands of years to 3680 02:28:30,530 --> 02:28:28,319 cross the Milky Way galaxy and if you 3681 02:28:32,929 --> 02:28:30,540 move with the speed of a chemical rocket 3682 02:28:35,349 --> 02:28:32,939 it takes 10 3683 02:28:38,270 --> 02:28:35,359 000 times longer so it takes you know 3684 02:28:40,070 --> 02:28:38,280 half a billion years to cross the Milky 3685 02:28:41,870 --> 02:28:40,080 Way galaxy there is no way a biological 3686 02:28:44,750 --> 02:28:41,880 creature would first of all have the 3687 02:28:46,969 --> 02:28:44,760 patience and second have the ability to 3688 02:28:49,490 --> 02:28:46,979 survive for that long uh in in the 3689 02:28:51,710 --> 02:28:49,500 Hazardous conditions of space so my 3690 02:28:54,530 --> 02:28:51,720 point is it makes much more sense to 3691 02:28:56,450 --> 02:28:54,540 send an AI astronaut once we develop 3692 02:28:58,969 --> 02:28:56,460 those sentient systems that can machine 3693 02:29:01,370 --> 02:28:58,979 learn adapt to new circumstances they 3694 02:29:05,030 --> 02:29:01,380 can be dormant for millions of years so 3695 02:29:07,309 --> 02:29:05,040 if we are thinking about those being the 3696 02:29:09,950 --> 02:29:07,319 um you know Messengers for us into 3697 02:29:12,170 --> 02:29:09,960 Interstellar space other civilizations 3698 02:29:13,990 --> 02:29:12,180 probably reach the same conclusions now 3699 02:29:17,389 --> 02:29:14,000 this could also include biological 3700 02:29:20,090 --> 02:29:17,399 creatures that have augmentation to 3701 02:29:22,730 --> 02:29:20,100 their you know organs and with 3702 02:29:25,309 --> 02:29:22,740 technological gadgets and devices but my 3703 02:29:27,770 --> 02:29:25,319 point is it has to be it cannot be just 3704 02:29:30,650 --> 02:29:27,780 biology it has to be technology that 3705 02:29:33,230 --> 02:29:30,660 accommodates the you know the weaknesses 3706 02:29:35,929 --> 02:29:33,240 of biological systems and and then 3707 02:29:37,670 --> 02:29:35,939 therefore if we find anything in our 3708 02:29:40,790 --> 02:29:37,680 neighborhood I would you know I would 3709 02:29:43,610 --> 02:29:40,800 put my bet on AI systems if they are 3710 02:29:46,370 --> 02:29:43,620 functional and then to figure them out 3711 02:29:48,770 --> 02:29:46,380 may be difficult may not be trivial we 3712 02:29:50,510 --> 02:29:48,780 may need our own AI systems but I 3713 02:29:52,610 --> 02:29:50,520 completely agree with you and I think 3714 02:29:55,610 --> 02:29:52,620 that's most likely for what we might 3715 02:29:57,469 --> 02:29:55,620 find the interesting question is whether 3716 02:30:01,070 --> 02:29:57,479 we are really the first civilization 3717 02:30:03,950 --> 02:30:01,080 that ever existed on Earth or on Mars 3718 02:30:07,550 --> 02:30:03,960 was there a civilization you know a few 3719 02:30:09,170 --> 02:30:07,560 billion years ago and when we say two or 3720 02:30:12,230 --> 02:30:09,180 three billion years ago we're talking 3721 02:30:15,050 --> 02:30:12,240 just about a factor of two uh earlier 3722 02:30:18,410 --> 02:30:15,060 and we are we are 4.6 billion years 3723 02:30:20,750 --> 02:30:18,420 after the Earth was made or after Mars 3724 02:30:22,849 --> 02:30:20,760 were made you know I don't think it's 3725 02:30:26,030 --> 02:30:22,859 out of the question that there was a 3726 02:30:28,849 --> 02:30:26,040 technological civilization when Mars was 3727 02:30:30,770 --> 02:30:28,859 2 billion years old why not a factor of 3728 02:30:34,550 --> 02:30:30,780 two on mars or on Earth 3729 02:30:36,290 --> 02:30:34,560 apparently sorry you said two billion 3730 02:30:37,969 --> 02:30:36,300 years when Mars was 2 billion years old 3731 02:30:39,889 --> 02:30:37,979 do you mean that the civilization may 3732 02:30:40,730 --> 02:30:39,899 have been on mars or on Earth at that 3733 02:30:43,070 --> 02:30:40,740 point 3734 02:30:45,110 --> 02:30:43,080 their place because Mars was 3735 02:30:47,870 --> 02:30:45,120 similar to Earth in fact it had 3736 02:30:50,389 --> 02:30:47,880 habitable conditions before Earth uh 3737 02:30:53,030 --> 02:30:50,399 because it occurred earlier and it's 3738 02:30:55,550 --> 02:30:53,040 possible that um you know simple biology 3739 02:30:57,590 --> 02:30:55,560 started on Mars it's much more likely 3740 02:30:59,630 --> 02:30:57,600 that it started on Mars earlier than on 3741 02:31:01,910 --> 02:30:59,640 Earth because we believe there was 3742 02:31:04,550 --> 02:31:01,920 liquid water over there and all I'm 3743 02:31:07,490 --> 02:31:04,560 saying is if it took 4.6 billion years 3744 02:31:09,770 --> 02:31:07,500 for us to come to the stage it's 3745 02:31:11,990 --> 02:31:09,780 possible that someone else came to the 3746 02:31:15,349 --> 02:31:12,000 stage two and a half billion years ago 3747 02:31:17,150 --> 02:31:15,359 and in that case when Mars became not so 3748 02:31:19,429 --> 02:31:17,160 habitable because if if that 3749 02:31:22,190 --> 02:31:19,439 Civilization realized for example that 3750 02:31:23,990 --> 02:31:22,200 it's about to lose its atmosphere and 3751 02:31:26,090 --> 02:31:24,000 lose all of its liquid water on the 3752 02:31:27,770 --> 02:31:26,100 surface they would ask themselves think 3753 02:31:29,809 --> 02:31:27,780 about it it would enter the political 3754 02:31:32,690 --> 02:31:29,819 discussion on Mars they would ask 3755 02:31:34,610 --> 02:31:32,700 themselves what do we do oh there is 3756 02:31:37,130 --> 02:31:34,620 this planet next to us called the Earth 3757 02:31:40,550 --> 02:31:37,140 and it has no oxygen in the atmosphere 3758 02:31:44,389 --> 02:31:40,560 what should we do terraform Earth maybe 3759 02:31:46,610 --> 02:31:44,399 we should put you know a mask on Mars 3760 02:31:48,230 --> 02:31:46,620 so when when Mars lost its atmosphere 3761 02:31:50,630 --> 02:31:48,240 around the same time somewhere between 3762 02:31:54,290 --> 02:31:50,640 two to two point five billion years ago 3763 02:31:57,349 --> 02:31:54,300 that was exactly the time when there was 3764 02:31:59,210 --> 02:31:57,359 a sudden increase in the oxygen level on 3765 02:32:01,429 --> 02:31:59,220 Earth before that there was not much 3766 02:32:02,230 --> 02:32:01,439 oxygen in the atmosphere around that 3767 02:32:05,570 --> 02:32:02,240 time 3768 02:32:08,330 --> 02:32:05,580 cyanobacteria started to produce huge 3769 02:32:11,750 --> 02:32:08,340 vast amounts of oxygen now of course 3770 02:32:13,929 --> 02:32:11,760 most most scientists think well it may 3771 02:32:16,309 --> 02:32:13,939 have been just a natural 3772 02:32:18,889 --> 02:32:16,319 process that led to that but we don't 3773 02:32:21,410 --> 02:32:18,899 know why the Earth's oxygen level in the 3774 02:32:23,809 --> 02:32:21,420 atmosphere suddenly jumped at around the 3775 02:32:25,730 --> 02:32:23,819 same time when Mars lost its atmosphere 3776 02:32:28,790 --> 02:32:25,740 and I say you know maybe someone 3777 02:32:28,800 --> 02:32:35,330 exam 3778 02:32:41,210 --> 02:32:39,170 it's a great response memories 3779 02:32:43,429 --> 02:32:41,220 sorry what's one of your earliest 3780 02:32:45,230 --> 02:32:43,439 memories and then I keep we keep having 3781 02:32:46,730 --> 02:32:45,240 the same intuition just jumping at the 3782 02:32:49,130 --> 02:32:46,740 same time I apologize man what were you 3783 02:32:49,849 --> 02:32:49,140 gonna say no it's fine 3784 02:32:51,650 --> 02:32:49,859 um 3785 02:32:53,030 --> 02:32:51,660 I I was just gonna say thank you for 3786 02:32:55,690 --> 02:32:53,040 both the question and the answer because 3787 02:32:58,969 --> 02:32:55,700 both were really fascinating 3788 02:33:00,830 --> 02:32:58,979 thank you uh in terms of first memory to 3789 02:33:03,110 --> 02:33:00,840 me the most traumatic memory of my 3790 02:33:05,929 --> 02:33:03,120 childhood I had a wonderful childhood 3791 02:33:08,570 --> 02:33:05,939 you know in in a on a farm but the most 3792 02:33:10,849 --> 02:33:08,580 I mean the the scar that was left by my 3793 02:33:12,950 --> 02:33:10,859 childhood was that when I was sitting at 3794 02:33:14,929 --> 02:33:12,960 the dinner table with a lot of adults in 3795 02:33:17,510 --> 02:33:14,939 the room I would ask a difficult 3796 02:33:19,309 --> 02:33:17,520 question and they would just dismiss the 3797 02:33:21,650 --> 02:33:19,319 question because they didn't know the 3798 02:33:24,889 --> 02:33:21,660 answer and they didn't want to embarrass 3799 02:33:26,450 --> 02:33:24,899 themselves by showing ignorance and to 3800 02:33:28,550 --> 02:33:26,460 me it was obvious that they don't know 3801 02:33:31,250 --> 02:33:28,560 the answer sometimes they would invent 3802 02:33:33,710 --> 02:33:31,260 an answer that made no sense and I 3803 02:33:35,809 --> 02:33:33,720 thought that by becoming a scientist you 3804 02:33:38,270 --> 02:33:35,819 know I will be able to address questions 3805 02:33:40,550 --> 02:33:38,280 you know using the scientific method and 3806 02:33:43,070 --> 02:33:40,560 figure it out myself but what do I find 3807 02:33:44,690 --> 02:33:43,080 in Academia exactly the same phenomena 3808 02:33:47,110 --> 02:33:44,700 people pretending they know the answer 3809 02:33:49,270 --> 02:33:47,120 in advance not 3810 02:33:52,190 --> 02:33:49,280 showing not 3811 02:33:54,230 --> 02:33:52,200 admitting that they are ignorant and you 3812 02:33:56,090 --> 02:33:54,240 know that's about things that do not 3813 02:33:58,190 --> 02:33:56,100 quite line up with what we expect 3814 02:34:01,429 --> 02:33:58,200 including the first interest there are 3815 02:34:06,889 --> 02:34:04,790 welcome Bernardo castrov of Essentia 3816 02:34:08,510 --> 02:34:06,899

well I only 3836 02:35:04,670 --> 02:35:01,800 wrote A Few essays this year nothing 3837 02:35:06,349 --> 02:35:04,680 nothing really serious but next year 3838 02:35:09,590 --> 02:35:06,359 I'll get serious 3839 02:35:11,809 --> 02:35:09,600 do two books do another computer one 3840 02:35:14,929 --> 02:35:11,819 computer a year keeps the Mind clear so 3841 02:35:17,150 --> 02:35:14,939 that will go on but I have to do some 3842 02:35:19,610 --> 02:35:17,160 serious writing that's my New Year's 3843 02:35:24,230 --> 02:35:19,620 resolution and my prey 3844 02:35:28,070 --> 02:35:24,240 my my wish to God is that the war ends 3845 02:35:31,309 --> 02:35:28,080 uh so you are religious is that right 3846 02:35:34,670 --> 02:35:31,319 I think I am religious in the original 3847 02:35:36,130 --> 02:35:34,680 sense of really God I care very much 3848 02:35:40,610 --> 02:35:36,140 about being 3849 02:35:42,110 --> 02:35:40,620 connected with something outside time 3850 02:35:44,389 --> 02:35:42,120 um and I think that's very important I 3851 02:35:47,389 --> 02:35:44,399 think it's the greatest loss of Western 3852 02:35:48,710 --> 02:35:47,399 culture since the middle of the 19th 3853 02:35:51,710 --> 02:35:48,720 century or so 3854 02:35:53,510 --> 02:35:51,720 okay you know if we find X in 3855 02:35:56,210 --> 02:35:53,520 extraterrestrial 3856 02:35:58,270 --> 02:35:56,220 kid that is smarter than us it may be an 3857 02:36:01,070 --> 02:35:58,280 approximation to God 3858 02:36:03,710 --> 02:36:01,080 I would I would be very afraid of that 3859 02:36:04,929 --> 02:36:03,720 that we would you know follow this this 3860 02:36:08,510 --> 02:36:04,939 this this this 3861 02:36:11,630 --> 02:36:08,520 alley that leads nowhere saying that we 3862 02:36:15,770 --> 02:36:11,640 sort of replace Divinity with 3863 02:36:18,830 --> 02:36:15,780 a poor alternative a vessel upon which 3864 02:36:22,070 --> 02:36:18,840 we project the numinosity of the Divine 3865 02:36:23,630 --> 02:36:22,080 if you know all I'm saying is religious 3866 02:36:27,650 --> 02:36:23,640 texts talk about 3867 02:36:31,969 --> 02:36:27,660 God creating life creating the universe 3868 02:36:33,950 --> 02:36:31,979 and suppose I bring you an advanced 3869 02:36:36,170 --> 02:36:33,960 scientific civilization that we can 3870 02:36:38,690 --> 02:36:36,180 create life in the laboratory it's not 3871 02:36:40,849 --> 02:36:38,700 completely it's not mediocre it's not 3872 02:36:43,130 --> 02:36:40,859 inferior it creates life in the 3873 02:36:45,770 --> 02:36:43,140 laboratory and it also creates baby 3874 02:36:49,190 --> 02:36:45,780 universes in the laboratory it's exactly 3875 02:36:53,570 --> 02:36:49,200 what you are hoping for it exists but 3876 02:36:55,790 --> 02:36:53,580 it's scientists in a white lab coat that 3877 02:36:58,730 --> 02:36:55,800 are doing this it's not something else 3878 02:37:01,010 --> 02:36:58,740 would that disappoint you completely I 3879 02:37:03,530 --> 02:37:01,020 think that would be literally insane I 3880 02:37:06,170 --> 02:37:03,540 think what you just described is not my 3881 02:37:08,410 --> 02:37:06,180 notion of divinity at all I think this 3882 02:37:11,690 --> 02:37:08,420 is a 3883 02:37:13,610 --> 02:37:11,700 we want God to do other than create a 3884 02:37:17,330 --> 02:37:13,620 whole universe what else I don't see 3885 02:37:20,270 --> 02:37:17,340 Divinity as a personified ego and a kind 3886 02:37:21,950 --> 02:37:20,280 of egoic agency that has power over us 3887 02:37:24,110 --> 02:37:21,960 that's not my notion of divinity we 3888 02:37:26,870 --> 02:37:24,120 didn't talk about ego we just I just 3889 02:37:29,030 --> 02:37:26,880 said what that entity can do so what 3890 02:37:31,570 --> 02:37:29,040 else can it do that you imagine that is 3891 02:37:34,490 --> 02:37:31,580 better than creating a universe 3892 02:37:37,370 --> 02:37:34,500 my notion of divinity has very very 3893 02:37:38,230 --> 02:37:37,380 little to do with power with what it can 3894 02:37:43,090 --> 02:37:38,240 do 3895 02:37:45,770 --> 02:37:43,100 think we will resolve this in a 3896 02:37:49,250 --> 02:37:45,780 15-minute conversation but let the 3897 02:37:51,170 --> 02:37:49,260 record just reflect that my my my notion 3898 02:37:53,929 --> 02:37:51,180 of divinity that thing I want to have a 3899 02:37:56,150 --> 02:37:53,939 relationship with has very very little 3900 02:37:58,250 --> 02:37:56,160 to do with everything we just described 3901 02:38:02,929 --> 02:37:58,260 that that's not Divinity to me that's 3902 02:38:07,010 --> 02:38:05,150 okay by that by that you didn't Define 3903 02:38:13,070 --> 02:38:07,020 it 3904 02:38:15,349 --> 02:38:13,080 is that you define or you see as 3905 02:38:17,150 --> 02:38:15,359 Divinity or you feel as Divinity in a 3906 02:38:19,910 --> 02:38:17,160 couple minutes or is that it's going to 3907 02:38:21,770 --> 02:38:19,920 mislead rather than probably it will I 3908 02:38:24,110 --> 02:38:21,780 would try because uh otherwise people 3909 02:38:26,030 --> 02:38:24,120 would think no he makes these statements 3910 02:38:29,170 --> 02:38:26,040 and then he runs away and refuses to 3911 02:38:31,130 --> 02:38:29,180 Define it so sure sure 3912 02:38:33,650 --> 02:38:31,140 just so you know this whole environment 3913 02:38:35,450 --> 02:38:33,660 was supposed to be one of a of a pub and 3914 02:38:37,490 --> 02:38:35,460 now I feel like this is the one it is 3915 02:38:39,530 --> 02:38:37,500 still a pub after a few drinks and you 3916 02:38:42,170 --> 02:38:39,540 get into the weeds so let's do the 3917 02:38:44,110 --> 02:38:42,180 drinking I'm drinking hydrogen oxide 3918 02:38:46,370 --> 02:38:44,120 here and so 3919 02:38:47,630 --> 02:38:46,380 I just I mean that's what people know in 3920 02:38:49,490 --> 02:38:47,640 case they're thinking that there's some 3921 02:38:51,230 --> 02:38:49,500 some anger here this is just like no 3922 02:38:54,469 --> 02:38:51,240 it's just how academics talk because if 3923 02:38:59,349 --> 02:38:56,870 Divinity to me is not personified it's 3924 02:39:01,730 --> 02:38:59,359 not an agent separate from its creation 3925 02:39:04,370 --> 02:39:01,740 Divinity is something that transcends 3926 02:39:06,590 --> 02:39:04,380 space and time uh Divinity is what 3927 02:39:09,530 --> 02:39:06,600 psychology with this would associate 3928 02:39:12,490 --> 02:39:09,540 with the notion of numinosity the 3929 02:39:15,410 --> 02:39:12,500 numinous Divinity is something that is 3930 02:39:19,429 --> 02:39:15,420 because it's outside time you can't say 3931 02:39:22,550 --> 02:39:19,439 that it's old or young but you skirt it 3932 02:39:25,550 --> 02:39:22,560 you get closer to it if you say 3933 02:39:28,070 --> 02:39:25,560 uh it's what was there before the Big 3934 02:39:30,290 --> 02:39:28,080 Bang it's what is always there it's the 3935 02:39:32,809 --> 02:39:30,300 Fountain Head of 3936 02:39:34,849 --> 02:39:32,819 of existence of the Dynamics of the 3937 02:39:38,450 --> 02:39:34,859 universe it's it's the most foundational 3938 02:39:40,790 --> 02:39:38,460 layer of nature which as most of you 3939 02:39:43,969 --> 02:39:40,800 know in my view it is a field of 3940 02:39:46,370 --> 02:39:43,979 subjectivity divinity is that field of 3941 02:39:48,950 --> 02:39:46,380 subjectivity unencumbered by a 3942 02:39:50,150 --> 02:39:48,960 dissociative process and in that sense 3943 02:39:52,550 --> 02:39:50,160 it is 3944 02:39:55,150 --> 02:39:52,560 um omniscient literally not in the way 3945 02:39:57,770 --> 02:39:55,160 we want to understand it as 3946 02:39:59,450 --> 02:39:57,780 metacognitively uh conscious of 3947 02:40:01,030 --> 02:39:59,460 everything I don't think it is that I 3948 02:40:03,770 --> 02:40:01,040 don't think it's metacognitive at all 3949 02:40:05,990 --> 02:40:03,780 but it's the foundational layer of our 3950 02:40:09,530 --> 02:40:06,000 own being and if you introspect deep 3951 02:40:11,510 --> 02:40:09,540 enough which is almost impossible for 3952 02:40:14,090 --> 02:40:11,520 the vast majority of us certainly for me 3953 02:40:16,130 --> 02:40:14,100 but if I could introspect deep enough 3954 02:40:18,290 --> 02:40:16,140 and peel the onion of my being 3955 02:40:20,630 --> 02:40:18,300 progressively more and more layers more 3956 02:40:23,389 --> 02:40:20,640 and more layers that nothing that would 3957 02:40:25,550 --> 02:40:23,399 be left at the end that nothing that is 3958 02:40:27,710 --> 02:40:25,560 pregnant with everything that is 3959 02:40:30,290 --> 02:40:27,720 divinity 3960 02:40:32,870 --> 02:40:30,300 okay I just wanted to clarify I will not 3961 02:40:34,730 --> 02:40:32,880 dwell much on this but whatever you said 3962 02:40:35,990 --> 02:40:34,740 at the beginning is exactly what I was 3963 02:40:37,849 --> 02:40:36,000 saying it's something that happened 3964 02:40:41,630 --> 02:40:37,859 before the Big Bang it's just a 3965 02:40:44,990 --> 02:40:41,640 scientist in a white lab coat that 3966 02:40:48,349 --> 02:40:45,000 created the Big Bang was before time as 3967 02:40:51,349 --> 02:40:48,359 we Define it in the Big Bang and is the 3968 02:40:54,290 --> 02:40:51,359 source of everything and I just talked 3969 02:40:57,230 --> 02:40:54,300 about it as a scientist in a lab coat 3970 02:41:00,170 --> 02:40:57,240 you talk about it as something that you 3971 02:41:02,270 --> 02:41:00,180 fill your onions on your layers off and 3972 02:41:04,490 --> 02:41:02,280 I you know to me I I don't know what 3973 02:41:06,830 --> 02:41:04,500 that is I don't know what's left of your 3974 02:41:09,050 --> 02:41:06,840 onion layers after you peel them off but 3975 02:41:11,630 --> 02:41:09,060 I'm saying the source of everything we 3976 02:41:14,030 --> 02:41:11,640 have if it created our big bang 3977 02:41:15,950 --> 02:41:14,040 this is a very nice fantasy it's a story 3978 02:41:18,710 --> 02:41:15,960 to tell children you know science isn't 3979 02:41:20,929 --> 02:41:18,720 a lab coat dressed in a white lab coat 3980 02:41:23,750 --> 02:41:20,939 created our universe now cute it's very 3981 02:41:25,969 --> 02:41:23,760 cute but of course the intended meaning 3982 02:41:28,670 --> 02:41:25,979 that I had when I referred to the Big 3983 02:41:30,650 --> 02:41:28,680 Bang was something that existed before 3984 02:41:33,530 --> 02:41:30,660 the beginning of time in other words 3985 02:41:36,170 --> 02:41:33,540 before the Big Bang of the universe of 3986 02:41:38,030 --> 02:41:36,180 your fantasized scientists your super 3987 02:41:40,730 --> 02:41:38,040 powerful transhuman scientist whatever 3988 02:41:43,730 --> 02:41:40,740 whatever that is that was intended 3989 02:41:45,110 --> 02:41:43,740 meaning but look we will talk past each 3990 02:41:47,809 --> 02:41:45,120 other because I know where we are coming 3991 02:41:50,570 --> 02:41:47,819 from I don't know you but your past few 3992 02:41:53,150 --> 02:41:50,580 words already put up you know like an 3993 02:41:55,670 --> 02:41:53,160 outdoor board in front of me announcing 3994 02:41:58,309 --> 02:41:55,680 where you're coming from and I know that 3995 02:42:01,969 --> 02:41:58,319 space very well I spent most of my life 3996 02:42:04,969 --> 02:42:01,979 in that space there is no way I will 3997 02:42:07,010 --> 02:42:04,979 make sense to you in 15 minutes 3998 02:42:09,889 --> 02:42:07,020 this is something we need to spend the 3999 02:42:13,610 --> 02:42:09,899 weekend together and then maybe you will 4000 02:42:17,090 --> 02:42:13,620 have an intuition for why I say what I 4001 02:42:20,450 --> 02:42:17,100 say despite my extremely Western 4002 02:42:22,550 --> 02:42:20,460 rational background with two doctorates 4003 02:42:24,290 --> 02:42:22,560 and having worked at CERN and all that 4004 02:42:25,510 --> 02:42:24,300 stuff 4005 02:42:27,950 --> 02:42:25,520 okay 4006 02:42:30,710 --> 02:42:27,960 I just wanted to remind you of the 4007 02:42:33,050 --> 02:42:30,720 Chicken and the Egg problem you may ask 4008 02:42:35,809 --> 02:42:33,060 what was before the chicken there was an 4009 02:42:39,349 --> 02:42:35,819 egg and what was laying the egg a 4010 02:42:41,330 --> 02:42:39,359 chicken so uh was there something before 4011 02:42:43,610 --> 02:42:41,340 the Chicken and the Egg the answer is 4012 02:42:45,230 --> 02:42:43,620 yes something else that's the true 4013 02:42:47,690 --> 02:42:45,240 answer for what happened on Earth 4014 02:42:50,030 --> 02:42:47,700 because we know that before the Chicken 4015 02:42:53,150 --> 02:42:50,040 and the Egg existed there was something 4016 02:42:55,070 --> 02:42:53,160 else and the same may be true for the 4017 02:42:56,270 --> 02:42:55,080 universe that's all I'm saying 4018 02:42:58,429 --> 02:42:56,280 okay 4019 02:43:00,110 --> 02:42:58,439 all right the theolocution between Avi 4020 02:43:05,270 --> 02:43:00,120 lobe and Bernardo Castro's scheduled 4021 02:43:07,570 --> 02:43:05,280 it's January 8th 2023. five hours long 4022 02:43:11,150 --> 02:43:07,580 so Milestone whilst we're talking about 4023 02:43:14,030 --> 02:43:11,160 definitions can I ask Abby Jack 4024 02:43:15,469 --> 02:43:14,040 Christina could as well I believe we 4025 02:43:18,530 --> 02:43:15,479 were talking about uh Abby you mentioned 4026 02:43:20,690 --> 02:43:18,540 Stephen Hawking and and how his life was 4027 02:43:22,910 --> 02:43:20,700 you know he he couldn't move uh he used 4028 02:43:25,490 --> 02:43:22,920 the computers kind of communicate and 4029 02:43:27,410 --> 02:43:25,500 when we think of Being Human we think of 4030 02:43:29,030 --> 02:43:27,420 a certain type of person you know two 4031 02:43:31,070 --> 02:43:29,040 arms two legs we can talk and that kind 4032 02:43:33,830 --> 02:43:31,080 of thing but obviously Stephen Hawking 4033 02:43:35,809 --> 02:43:33,840 is a human but just is outside of that 4034 02:43:38,809 --> 02:43:35,819 definition so I wanted to ask you all uh 4035 02:43:44,809 --> 02:43:38,819 what what do you guys think it mean be 4036 02:43:49,070 --> 02:43:45,590 um 4037 02:43:52,190 --> 02:43:49,080 well I I if you ask me I would say uh 4038 02:43:55,429 --> 02:43:52,200 being conscious of the reality that that 4039 02:43:59,750 --> 02:43:55,439 we we share uh because many you know at 4040 02:44:02,389 --> 02:43:59,760 least some living things we we don't see 4041 02:44:05,690 --> 02:44:02,399 a Consciousness in them like you know 4042 02:44:09,650 --> 02:44:05,700 plants for example or so of you know 4043 02:44:11,990 --> 02:44:09,660 vegetables so in principle uh you know I 4044 02:44:14,450 --> 02:44:12,000 would say that being conscious is is 4045 02:44:17,270 --> 02:44:14,460 what makes us human it's not so much our 4046 02:44:19,610 --> 02:44:17,280 bodily Parts because people lose limbs 4047 02:44:22,849 --> 02:44:19,620 you know a soldier that goes to work and 4048 02:44:23,809 --> 02:44:22,859 lose a limb uh as long as the soldier is 4049 02:44:26,570 --> 02:44:23,819 alive 4050 02:44:29,990 --> 02:44:26,580 uh the soldier is human 4051 02:44:32,570 --> 02:44:30,000 and then and if you degrade all physical 4052 02:44:34,429 --> 02:44:32,580 abilities you end up in a state similar 4053 02:44:37,070 --> 02:44:34,439 to Stephen Hawking at the end of his 4054 02:44:40,250 --> 02:44:37,080 life but he started from being just like 4055 02:44:44,030 --> 02:44:40,260 any of us as a young kid so it's just 4056 02:44:46,250 --> 02:44:44,040 that his muscles stopped working and you 4057 02:44:49,010 --> 02:44:46,260 know that shows you that if you reduce a 4058 02:44:51,770 --> 02:44:49,020 human what remains is simply the 4059 02:44:54,469 --> 02:44:51,780 Consciousness that's my take on it and 4060 02:44:55,929 --> 02:44:54,479 if we are able to produce AI systems 4061 02:44:59,510 --> 02:44:55,939 that are conscious 4062 02:45:02,929 --> 02:44:59,520 then we got it you know it's basically 4063 02:45:05,990 --> 02:45:02,939 an emergent phenomena that you know 4064 02:45:07,309 --> 02:45:06,000 identifies a very complex system 4065 02:45:09,110 --> 02:45:07,319 um and there are much more primitive 4066 02:45:11,389 --> 02:45:09,120 systems that are alive that are not 4067 02:45:13,849 --> 02:45:11,399 capable of this and so when we talk 4068 02:45:16,309 --> 02:45:13,859 about humans is because they are able to 4069 02:45:18,349 --> 02:45:16,319 understand the reality that they live in 4070 02:45:20,210 --> 02:45:18,359 being conscious that would be my 4071 02:45:22,670 --> 02:45:20,220 definition and of course many people 4072 02:45:28,190 --> 02:45:22,680 would say love you know the fact that we 4073 02:45:34,190 --> 02:45:30,790 Dan who's next what's that 4074 02:45:36,290 --> 02:45:34,200 uh Christina 4075 02:45:37,790 --> 02:45:36,300 okay I'll go next 4076 02:45:40,670 --> 02:45:37,800 um first of all I'm still learning what 4077 02:45:43,969 --> 02:45:40,680 it is uh to be human and I'm searching 4078 02:45:47,389 --> 02:45:43,979 for the answers of like to to what I am 4079 02:45:49,969 --> 02:45:47,399 as a Consciousness so I mean like I 4080 02:45:51,650 --> 02:45:49,979 cannot fathom death being the end of 4081 02:45:54,349 --> 02:45:51,660 Consciousness it doesn't it doesn't make 4082 02:45:56,690 --> 02:45:54,359 sense to me it seems like a huge waste 4083 02:45:59,330 --> 02:45:56,700 right so I believe that there must be 4084 02:46:02,090 --> 02:45:59,340 something more that Consciousness drives 4085 02:46:04,190 --> 02:46:02,100 the body but operates from a higher 4086 02:46:07,730 --> 02:46:04,200 Dimension that that is where it goes 4087 02:46:11,450 --> 02:46:07,740 after bodily death so to be human for me 4088 02:46:13,130 --> 02:46:11,460 is to be compassionate to seek answers 4089 02:46:16,730 --> 02:46:13,140 and the truth and to share it with 4090 02:46:21,650 --> 02:46:16,740 others and to live mindfully with Wonder 4091 02:46:26,510 --> 02:46:24,170 beautiful answer uh Jack would you like 4092 02:46:28,910 --> 02:46:26,520 to answer 4093 02:46:31,969 --> 02:46:28,920 sure I just I never really know what to 4094 02:46:34,730 --> 02:46:31,979 do with questions like these like 4095 02:46:36,950 --> 02:46:34,740 um what it means to be human 4096 02:46:39,590 --> 02:46:36,960 um and the one side you have Avi who 4097 02:46:40,969 --> 02:46:39,600 explains what what it means to be what 4098 02:46:43,910 --> 02:46:40,979 humans are made of and then you have 4099 02:46:45,530 --> 02:46:43,920 Christina asking or explaining what you 4100 02:46:47,270 --> 02:46:45,540 can do with that meaning what it means 4101 02:46:47,990 --> 02:46:47,280 to you personally 4102 02:46:55,809 --> 02:46:48,000 um 4103 02:46:59,870 --> 02:46:58,309 it's like okay you're conscious you're 4104 02:47:01,670 --> 02:46:59,880 conscious being sure but there are more 4105 02:47:03,710 --> 02:47:01,680 conscious beings there my God is 4106 02:47:04,969 --> 02:47:03,720 conscious too so but my computer isn't 4107 02:47:07,190 --> 02:47:04,979 but 4108 02:47:10,190 --> 02:47:07,200 um it all happens in Consciousness and 4109 02:47:13,490 --> 02:47:10,200 what it means for a human 4110 02:47:16,130 --> 02:47:13,500 in contrast to a cat yeah the experience 4111 02:47:17,330 --> 02:47:16,140 but how to give a meaningful answer to 4112 02:47:19,670 --> 02:47:17,340 that what to do with that information 4113 02:47:23,090 --> 02:47:19,680 what what then then I would follow 4114 02:47:27,170 --> 02:47:23,100 Christina and and well 4115 02:47:30,410 --> 02:47:27,180 and despite what Ivy says love uh love 4116 02:47:33,830 --> 02:47:30,420 thy enemy and uh that that that seems to 4117 02:47:36,170 --> 02:47:33,840 be like the the way you want to go when 4118 02:47:37,969 --> 02:47:36,180 it comes to personal meaning to LA to 4119 02:47:40,010 --> 02:47:37,979 what it means to be human so sorry it's 4120 02:47:41,630 --> 02:47:40,020 not a real answer but it's all I can 4121 02:47:44,389 --> 02:47:41,640 give you 4122 02:47:46,610 --> 02:47:44,399 oh I like it positive one uh thank you 4123 02:47:48,250 --> 02:47:46,620 so much um Bernardo what would you say 4124 02:47:51,830 --> 02:47:48,260 to that question 4125 02:47:55,010 --> 02:47:51,840 well we we know what it means to be 4126 02:47:58,010 --> 02:47:55,020 Human by being human right there is a 4127 02:48:00,950 --> 02:47:58,020 sense in which the question 4128 02:48:02,929 --> 02:48:00,960 it doesn't really evoke something that 4129 02:48:04,670 --> 02:48:02,939 isn't already known to us by direct 4130 02:48:06,889 --> 02:48:04,680 acquaintance we're trying to 4131 02:48:09,530 --> 02:48:06,899 conceptualize what we know by direct 4132 02:48:11,090 --> 02:48:09,540 acquaintance I'll try to do that since 4133 02:48:12,590 --> 02:48:11,100 that's the spirit of the question I 4134 02:48:16,250 --> 02:48:12,600 don't think Consciousness is what 4135 02:48:19,370 --> 02:48:16,260 defines us as human there is uh 4136 02:48:22,190 --> 02:48:19,380 you know we can only infer the the 4137 02:48:24,490 --> 02:48:22,200 presence of private conscious in our 4138 02:48:26,889 --> 02:48:24,500 life in other beings Beyond ourselves 4139 02:48:30,410 --> 02:48:26,899 through their behavior 4140 02:48:32,090 --> 02:48:30,420 and there is plenty of Behavioral 4141 02:48:34,250 --> 02:48:32,100 evidence that even single-celled 4142 02:48:37,070 --> 02:48:34,260 organisms have a private conscious in 4143 02:48:40,429 --> 02:48:37,080 their life of their own amoeba build 4144 02:48:42,530 --> 02:48:40,439 little houses out of mud particles from 4145 02:48:44,990 --> 02:48:42,540 the bottom of the puddle where they live 4146 02:48:47,650 --> 02:48:45,000 and they are architected almost like a 4147 02:48:51,790 --> 02:48:47,660 snail Shelley it's a conical house 4148 02:48:55,670 --> 02:48:51,800 paramecium are known to evade danger 4149 02:48:58,309 --> 02:48:55,680 look for food and even have reactions 4150 02:49:00,590 --> 02:48:58,319 akin to fear 4151 02:49:02,870 --> 02:49:00,600 um so I think that's not what 4152 02:49:04,550 --> 02:49:02,880 characterizes our species at all I think 4153 02:49:06,650 --> 02:49:04,560 private conscious in their life is what 4154 02:49:12,230 --> 02:49:06,660 characterizes life 4155 02:49:15,110 --> 02:49:12,240 not um Humanity I think being human is a 4156 02:49:17,450 --> 02:49:15,120 it's a state of mind it's a particular 4157 02:49:19,790 --> 02:49:17,460 configuration of Consciousness with 4158 02:49:23,150 --> 02:49:19,800 certain dispositions 4159 02:49:25,610 --> 02:49:23,160 um that that Define what being human is 4160 02:49:28,190 --> 02:49:25,620 and and even that is not a very sharp 4161 02:49:30,710 --> 02:49:28,200 definition I think because 4162 02:49:33,110 --> 02:49:30,720 you know in the undertals were humans 4163 02:49:35,929 --> 02:49:33,120 too in the sense of being members of the 4164 02:49:38,090 --> 02:49:35,939 genus homo 4165 02:49:40,910 --> 02:49:38,100 um but they were not Homo sapiens 4166 02:49:43,429 --> 02:49:40,920 sapiens uh so do they differ much from 4167 02:49:47,270 --> 02:49:43,439 us I mean I have the Neanderthal genes 4168 02:49:48,530 --> 02:49:47,280 as almost all Europeans 4169 02:49:51,110 --> 02:49:48,540 um so 4170 02:50:02,110 --> 02:49:51,120 now even that even the definition I just 4171 02:50:07,070 --> 02:50:04,730 AVI has a book called Interstellar he 4172 02:50:09,290 --> 02:50:07,080 also has the Galileo project and there's 4173 02:50:11,630 --> 02:50:09,300 also several podcast interviews with Avi 4174 02:50:14,510 --> 02:50:11,640 as you search His Name Across YouTube 4175 02:50:16,610 --> 02:50:14,520 I'm sure you'll find I just I just did I 4176 02:50:18,889 --> 02:50:16,620 just did but he's he's his visit card 4177 02:50:22,010 --> 02:50:18,899 with me was the worst possible dropping 4178 02:50:25,309 --> 02:50:22,020 dropping on me the the alien Gods Theory 4179 02:50:27,110 --> 02:50:25,319 and the first opportunities I know I 4180 02:50:29,690 --> 02:50:27,120 know but it didn't work very well with 4181 02:50:32,389 --> 02:50:29,700 me no but that's fine that's it again 4182 02:50:33,770 --> 02:50:32,399 just imagine we're coming into a bar and 4183 02:50:35,150 --> 02:50:33,780 you hear different conversations and 4184 02:50:37,190 --> 02:50:35,160 they're different Corners nothing's 4185 02:50:39,530 --> 02:50:37,200 going to be ideal or well everything's 4186 02:50:43,550 --> 02:50:39,540 ideal to you idealism but you understand 4187 02:50:46,010 --> 02:50:43,560 what I mean so Dan the the my answer is 4188 02:50:48,830 --> 02:50:46,020 that I don't I don't have many 4189 02:50:49,910 --> 02:50:48,840 I have ill-formed thoughts about it so I 4190 02:50:53,270 --> 02:50:49,920 think if we're to take a rational 4191 02:50:54,950 --> 02:50:53,280 approach we would conclude that it's 4192 02:50:57,110 --> 02:50:54,960 illusory virtually everything would be 4193 02:50:58,610 --> 02:50:57,120 illusory because you take sobriety's 4194 02:51:00,230 --> 02:50:58,620 Paradox and you say well if I remove my 4195 02:51:02,210 --> 02:51:00,240 finger then I'm Still Human but I've 4196 02:51:04,870 --> 02:51:02,220 removed this and and so on the molecules 4197 02:51:07,130 --> 02:51:04,880 change so what's the what's human 4198 02:51:09,650 --> 02:51:07,140 and then you would say well it's nothing 4199 02:51:11,570 --> 02:51:09,660 that you can grasp and there are many 4200 02:51:13,969 --> 02:51:11,580 people across the age who have said 4201 02:51:16,790 --> 02:51:13,979 something similar I forgot one in 4202 02:51:18,889 --> 02:51:16,800 particular maharajan or naharaja 4203 02:51:20,570 --> 02:51:18,899 who said about the Chariots look well 4204 02:51:22,130 --> 02:51:20,580 what makes the Chariots if you take away 4205 02:51:23,450 --> 02:51:22,140 its wheel it's still there and is it the 4206 02:51:25,370 --> 02:51:23,460 horse well if you take away the teeth of 4207 02:51:27,710 --> 02:51:25,380 a horse and so on so I think that 4208 02:51:30,050 --> 02:51:27,720 somehow if you analyze it logically or 4209 02:51:31,849 --> 02:51:30,060 rationally quote unquote that you come 4210 02:51:34,070 --> 02:51:31,859 to the answer of nothing or that it's 4211 02:51:35,809 --> 02:51:34,080 illusory but I don't think I don't think 4212 02:51:37,790 --> 02:51:35,819 that that's where you should stop I 4213 02:51:39,590 --> 02:51:37,800 don't I also don't think that well 4214 02:51:41,690 --> 02:51:39,600 anyway I think some somehow history has 4215 02:51:43,130 --> 02:51:41,700 to do with it okay so this is what I've 4216 02:51:44,210 --> 02:51:43,140 been thinking about recently 4217 02:51:46,190 --> 02:51:44,220 I've been playing around with 4218 02:51:47,570 --> 02:51:46,200 mid-journey which is 4219 02:51:49,849 --> 02:51:47,580 I can spend 4220 02:51:52,730 --> 02:51:49,859 it's talking about an eight hour lesson 4221 02:51:54,710 --> 02:51:52,740 uh eight hours 16 hours yeah generating 4222 02:51:57,230 --> 02:51:54,720 art on mid-journey but then there's 4223 02:52:00,349 --> 02:51:57,240 something soulless about it but what is 4224 02:52:02,809 --> 02:52:00,359 it exactly it it's to me almost 4225 02:52:05,570 --> 02:52:02,819 certainly in every case produces better 4226 02:52:09,050 --> 02:52:05,580 art than the average artist 4227 02:52:10,730 --> 02:52:09,060 okay so I'm saying average as a 4228 02:52:12,769 --> 02:52:10,740 people when they say you can't say that 4229 02:52:14,330 --> 02:52:12,779 but well the average artist is not what 4230 02:52:17,450 --> 02:52:14,340 you see most of the time because you see 4231 02:52:21,050 --> 02:52:17,460 just uh the Pinnacle sure 4232 02:52:24,050 --> 02:52:21,060 okay and I'm including well regardless 4233 02:52:25,670 --> 02:52:24,060 but when I was younger and I would go to 4234 02:52:28,070 --> 02:52:25,680 museums and I would see there's this 4235 02:52:29,690 --> 02:52:28,080 card on the side of a painting I would 4236 02:52:30,830 --> 02:52:29,700 discard the card I wouldn't I don't care 4237 02:52:32,330 --> 02:52:30,840 about the history I don't want to know 4238 02:52:33,650 --> 02:52:32,340 why this person created I don't care 4239 02:52:35,269 --> 02:52:33,660 about who who they are I just want to 4240 02:52:37,670 --> 02:52:35,279 look at the painting and now I'm 4241 02:52:39,469 --> 02:52:37,680 thinking maybe that card was the most 4242 02:52:43,130 --> 02:52:39,479 important part of the art 4243 02:52:44,389 --> 02:52:43,140 that that knowing about the turmoil of 4244 02:52:46,370 --> 02:52:44,399 someone who produced it and what they're 4245 02:52:48,050 --> 02:52:46,380 trying to convey what they think they're 4246 02:52:49,910 --> 02:52:48,060 trying to convey and the the history of 4247 02:52:51,769 --> 02:52:49,920 the place at the time that's a part of 4248 02:52:54,110 --> 02:52:51,779 the art and that's what's missing in the 4249 02:52:56,990 --> 02:52:54,120 AI art you can generate a picture and 4250 02:52:59,630 --> 02:52:57,000 it's fantastic but there's no history of 4251 02:53:02,210 --> 02:52:59,640 why the AI is creating it the the 4252 02:53:04,309 --> 02:53:02,220 government it's fighting the the 4253 02:53:05,929 --> 02:53:04,319 personal issues it's trying to work out 4254 02:53:08,030 --> 02:53:05,939 you don't get a sense of that it may be 4255 02:53:09,950 --> 02:53:08,040 there and if it's there I would enjoy 4256 02:53:11,330 --> 02:53:09,960 the art more if I knew about that if I 4257 02:53:13,610 --> 02:53:11,340 could even comprehend what the heck the 4258 02:53:15,889 --> 02:53:13,620 AI was trying to express so then I 4259 02:53:17,510 --> 02:53:15,899 wonder if there's something about the 4260 02:53:19,550 --> 02:53:17,520 way that we got here that makes us not 4261 02:53:22,550 --> 02:53:19,560 only human but certain experiences more 4262 02:53:25,070 --> 02:53:22,560 real so for instance if you put on a 4263 02:53:27,050 --> 02:53:25,080 a VR helmet and you were to you were 4264 02:53:28,370 --> 02:53:27,060 able to go to the Grand Canyon to think 4265 02:53:30,110 --> 02:53:28,380 there's this thought experiment like is 4266 02:53:32,450 --> 02:53:30,120 it different what's different about it 4267 02:53:34,370 --> 02:53:32,460 if if like imagine 20 years in the 4268 02:53:36,050 --> 02:53:34,380 future when every pixel you cannot tell 4269 02:53:37,910 --> 02:53:36,060 the difference and they have wind and 4270 02:53:39,950 --> 02:53:37,920 sound and warmth 4271 02:53:42,769 --> 02:53:39,960 well what's different is that you put on 4272 02:53:44,450 --> 02:53:42,779 a VR headset rather than going there's 4273 02:53:45,950 --> 02:53:44,460 something that's different about the 4274 02:53:47,570 --> 02:53:45,960 path that you take to get there so 4275 02:53:49,490 --> 02:53:47,580 something about path dependence which is 4276 02:53:51,230 --> 02:53:49,500 a concept in physics by the way so 4277 02:53:53,450 --> 02:53:51,240 there's something that is not just about 4278 02:53:55,370 --> 02:53:53,460 the state but how you got to the states 4279 02:53:57,410 --> 02:53:55,380 as well that's important so I think 4280 02:53:59,150 --> 02:53:57,420 that's important about that's a that's 4281 02:54:01,940 --> 02:53:59,160 an important factor that makes us human 4282 02:54:06,010 --> 02:54:01,950 but I don't know how to articulate that 4283 02:54:06,020 --> 02:54:15,050 hello Tony hello hello 4284 02:54:20,590 --> 02:54:17,330 meet Bernardo meet Dan meet Christina 4285 02:54:22,730 --> 02:54:20,600 meet Jack if you haven't already 4286 02:54:25,250 --> 02:54:22,740 some backup 4287 02:54:26,809 --> 02:54:25,260 so Bernardo I'm I'm sorry Tony like 4288 02:54:28,790 --> 02:54:26,819 because I just got you just came into 4289 02:54:30,710 --> 02:54:28,800 the middle of a fairly deep conversation 4290 02:54:33,250 --> 02:54:30,720 like one of the deepest what what does 4291 02:54:36,769 --> 02:54:33,260 it mean to be human 4292 02:54:38,150 --> 02:54:36,779 okay Bernardo what's correct in your 4293 02:54:41,389 --> 02:54:38,160 estimation and what's incorrect about 4294 02:54:45,710 --> 02:54:43,190 I think 4295 02:54:48,469 --> 02:54:45,720 um associating 4296 02:54:52,490 --> 02:54:48,479 context a life context 4297 02:54:54,710 --> 02:54:52,500 to to humanity is perfectly appropriate 4298 02:54:58,309 --> 02:54:54,720 I think 4299 02:55:01,370 --> 02:54:58,319 you know while we are alive we are state 4300 02:55:06,170 --> 02:55:01,380 of mind I think that would be my my sort 4301 02:55:08,090 --> 02:55:06,180 of objective hard-nosed answer but uh is 4302 02:55:11,269 --> 02:55:08,100 schopenhauer human 4303 02:55:13,190 --> 02:55:11,279 of course but he's not alive he's not a 4304 02:55:16,490 --> 02:55:13,200 state of mind that's currently out there 4305 02:55:18,889 --> 02:55:16,500 what is the humanity of schopenhauer it 4306 02:55:21,530 --> 02:55:18,899 is his journey as a human it is the 4307 02:55:24,349 --> 02:55:21,540 context of his production as a 4308 02:55:26,389 --> 02:55:24,359 philosopher his life context uh it's 4309 02:55:29,330 --> 02:55:26,399 it's it's it would be so easy to dismiss 4310 02:55:32,630 --> 02:55:29,340 schopenhauer as a misogynist because he 4311 02:55:37,010 --> 02:55:32,640 was one if we uh 4312 02:55:42,110 --> 02:55:37,020 ignore his life's context the fact that 4313 02:55:43,790 --> 02:55:42,120 he was reject and and by his mother very 4314 02:55:45,830 --> 02:55:43,800 early and was basically thrown out of 4315 02:55:48,290 --> 02:55:45,840 the house by his mother after his father 4316 02:55:52,070 --> 02:55:48,300 was already dead 4317 02:55:56,630 --> 02:55:52,080 um so yes Humanity the humanity that 4318 02:55:59,450 --> 02:55:56,640 survives us as humans is the humanity of 4319 02:56:01,190 --> 02:55:59,460 context without that context we will 4320 02:56:05,809 --> 02:56:01,200 pass judgment on everyone in history 4321 02:56:09,950 --> 02:56:07,730 okay thank you I'm not apologizing for 4322 02:56:12,710 --> 02:56:09,960 his misogynism by the way it was bad 4323 02:56:14,330 --> 02:56:12,720 it's bad it will forever be bad it's uh 4324 02:56:16,849 --> 02:56:14,340 it's surprising for somebody who is 4325 02:56:19,070 --> 02:56:16,859 otherwise so intelligent to to to to 4326 02:56:22,250 --> 02:56:19,080 take the Jabs that women that he took 4327 02:56:25,429 --> 02:56:22,260 now and then but again context doesn't 4328 02:56:26,750 --> 02:56:25,439 allow us to forgive it but allows us to 4329 02:56:28,790 --> 02:56:26,760 understand it 4330 02:56:31,309 --> 02:56:28,800 mm-hmm 4331 02:56:32,870 --> 02:56:31,319 okay well that's a deep topic because to 4332 02:56:33,650 --> 02:56:32,880 me there's something about understanding 4333 02:56:35,389 --> 02:56:33,660 that 4334 02:56:36,590 --> 02:56:35,399 allows for the Forgiveness or it's the 4335 02:56:39,650 --> 02:56:36,600 same as but we can talk about that 4336 02:56:41,269 --> 02:56:39,660 another time so I have to urinate and 4337 02:56:42,550 --> 02:56:41,279 this is a live stream and I'm not 4338 02:56:44,929 --> 02:56:42,560 supposed to leave for like eight hours 4339

--> 02:59:42,180 I noticed most of my most of the most 4414 02:59:48,710 --> 02:59:45,120 intelligent guests had libraries behind 4415 02:59:52,790 --> 02:59:48,720 them so I'm I'm broadcasting from the 4416 02:59:56,690 --> 02:59:52,800 Trinity College in Dublin Library and so 4417 02:59:59,690 --> 02:59:56,700 that's the only way to do it Tony so I 4418 03:00:01,849 --> 02:59:59,700 represent the uh the Layman of the bunch 4419 03:00:04,250 --> 03:00:01,859 I think but I haven't I've been 4420 03:00:07,250 --> 03:00:04,260 interested in this field you know for I 4421 03:00:10,130 --> 03:00:07,260 mean all my life practically and 4422 03:00:13,910 --> 03:00:10,140 um I I really wanted to share something 4423 03:00:15,650 --> 03:00:13,920 that I created when Kurt gets back and 4424 03:00:17,990 --> 03:00:15,660 this goes along with with something 4425 03:00:20,750 --> 03:00:18,000 Bernardo was talking about it's a graph 4426 03:00:22,309 --> 03:00:20,760 that I created and um 4427 03:00:24,170 --> 03:00:22,319 so I don't want to get into it too much 4428 03:00:27,170 --> 03:00:24,180 if you don't mind until Kurt gets back 4429 03:00:30,410 --> 03:00:27,180 because I want to hear his input but um 4430 03:00:32,990 --> 03:00:30,420 I appreciate being here and uh it should 4431 03:00:35,210 --> 03:00:33,000 be fun I hope it does lighten up a bit 4432 03:00:37,910 --> 03:00:35,220 because I I know I've met I've talked 4433 03:00:40,610 --> 03:00:37,920 with Avi I I've actually volunteered 4434 03:00:42,410 --> 03:00:40,620 um the Galileo project early on doing 4435 03:00:45,650 --> 03:00:42,420 some CAD work I'm a design build 4436 03:00:47,210 --> 03:00:45,660 contractor I do design work and they're 4437 03:00:49,429 --> 03:00:47,220 they're really just like by the book 4438 03:00:51,950 --> 03:00:49,439 they're like like you if you get them in 4439 03:00:53,750 --> 03:00:51,960 the bar they're still going to be you 4440 03:00:59,990 --> 03:00:53,760 know 4441 03:01:02,269 --> 03:01:00,000 straight by the book and uh oh God I do 4442 03:01:05,330 --> 03:01:02,279 find it easier to to debate on you when 4443 03:01:08,809 --> 03:01:05,340 he's not here so I have I drew this for 4444 03:01:10,730 --> 03:01:08,819 when after he left so and I'm also aware 4445 03:01:11,630 --> 03:01:10,740 that you make some music as well is that 4446 03:01:14,510 --> 03:01:11,640 correct 4447 03:01:17,389 --> 03:01:14,520 most of the music is made by my sons a 4448 03:01:21,650 --> 03:01:19,670 I was a musician earlier in life uh 4449 03:01:24,590 --> 03:01:21,660 that's I got them involved with music 4450 03:01:27,429 --> 03:01:24,600 when they were young and now they're 4451 03:01:31,250 --> 03:01:27,439 professional you know Alex is a 4452 03:01:34,250 --> 03:01:31,260 producer you know of music and Barrett 4453 03:01:37,490 --> 03:01:34,260 teaches and also is a content creator so 4454 03:01:39,469 --> 03:01:37,500 I've tried to I've tried to you know 4455 03:01:41,150 --> 03:01:39,479 influence them as much as I can they're 4456 03:01:45,230 --> 03:01:41,160 obviously much more talented than I am 4457 03:01:47,389 --> 03:01:45,240 now regarding music but um 4458 03:01:50,090 --> 03:01:47,399 my music changed her much more you know 4459 03:01:52,969 --> 03:01:50,100 Tennessee Deep Woods banjo and there's a 4460 03:01:55,790 --> 03:01:52,979 little more hip than my 4461 03:01:58,550 --> 03:01:55,800 mind so well I have a question for the 4462 03:02:02,210 --> 03:01:58,560 entire room and that is what was your 4463 03:02:04,670 --> 03:02:02,220 favorite news story of 2022 about UFOs 4464 03:02:06,290 --> 03:02:04,680 or whatever mysterious topics that 4465 03:02:09,950 --> 03:02:06,300 you've looked into throughout the year 4466 03:02:13,670 --> 03:02:11,990 so I'm gonna go I'll go for one of the 4467 03:02:16,610 --> 03:02:13,680 kind of low-hanging fruit here and say 4468 03:02:19,370 --> 03:02:16,620 the James Webb Telescope over the past 4469 03:02:21,230 --> 03:02:19,380 year we've seen it go from a thing that 4470 03:02:23,269 --> 03:02:21,240 maybe would work we weren't really sure 4471 03:02:24,950 --> 03:02:23,279 we were thrown out into space and see if 4472 03:02:27,050 --> 03:02:24,960 you know it could produce images that 4473 03:02:29,330 --> 03:02:27,060 were better than Hubble then the test 4474 03:02:31,070 --> 03:02:29,340 blew people's minds that was like a 4475 03:02:32,750 --> 03:02:31,080 thousand times better than Hubble and 4476 03:02:35,870 --> 03:02:32,760 then it keeps giving us these images the 4477 03:02:37,670 --> 03:02:35,880 the makers reflect on on a kind of in 4478 03:02:40,010 --> 03:02:37,680 condition and asking what's out there 4479 03:02:41,929 --> 03:02:40,020 and questioning what we know about the 4480 03:02:43,550 --> 03:02:41,939 cosmos and already it's kind of upending 4481 03:02:45,410 --> 03:02:43,560 some of the science you know 4482 03:02:48,050 --> 03:02:45,420 10 15 years ago we didn't think they 4483 03:02:50,870 --> 03:02:48,060 were exop and it's now they're a kind of 4484 03:02:52,490 --> 03:02:50,880 dime a dozen then the James Wood is 4485 03:02:54,469 --> 03:02:52,500 constantly just 4486 03:02:56,389 --> 03:02:54,479 made us look at the universe through a 4487 03:02:58,070 --> 03:02:56,399 different lens I think my my favorite 4488 03:03:00,410 --> 03:02:58,080 particularly new story from it wasn't 4489 03:03:02,570 --> 03:03:00,420 the first image but was the image of I 4490 03:03:05,030 --> 03:03:02,580 think it was uh Neptune with the rings 4491 03:03:06,710 --> 03:03:05,040 around it and people weren't kind of 4492 03:03:08,630 --> 03:03:06,720 accustomed to seeing the rings around it 4493 03:03:10,849 --> 03:03:08,640 but they beat it they've been there for 4494 03:03:12,710 --> 03:03:10,859 as long as the planet's been there it 4495 03:03:14,389 --> 03:03:12,720 took us building that lens to be able to 4496 03:03:17,510 --> 03:03:14,399 see reality in that way and I think 4497 03:03:19,250 --> 03:03:17,520 that's kind of a a potent point about 4498 03:03:21,290 --> 03:03:19,260 how we look at the universe 4499 03:03:22,849 --> 03:03:21,300 and if you don't mind me asking Dan if 4500 03:03:24,769 --> 03:03:22,859 you can just very briefly touch on 4501 03:03:26,210 --> 03:03:24,779 what's so special about the James Webb 4502 03:03:28,610 --> 03:03:26,220 Space Telescope for those that may not 4503 03:03:32,510 --> 03:03:28,620 be aware 4504 03:03:33,349 --> 03:03:32,520 yeah so I mean in in a kind of a tldr 4505 03:03:36,950 --> 03:03:33,359 what 4506 03:03:38,330 --> 03:03:36,960 um it's like going from VHS to DVD 4507 03:03:40,910 --> 03:03:38,340 um whilst looking at the universe it's 4508 03:03:42,590 --> 03:03:40,920 looking at the length of light it has a 4509 03:03:44,330 --> 03:03:42,600 few different instruments that look at 4510 03:03:46,550 --> 03:03:44,340 wavelengths 4511 03:03:50,030 --> 03:03:46,560 um so we're literally seeing things that 4512 03:03:51,650 --> 03:03:50,040 we were unable to see before 4513 03:03:55,429 --> 03:03:51,660 very cool and Jack what about yourself 4514 03:03:57,469 --> 03:03:55,439 what was your favorite new story of 2022 4515 03:03:59,510 --> 03:03:57,479 tough one I think I have to choose 4516 03:04:03,010 --> 03:03:59,520 between the Nobel Prize for the 4517 03:04:05,750 --> 03:04:03,020 physicist who could prove that 4518 03:04:07,910 --> 03:04:05,760 local reality isn't true I think 4519 03:04:10,070 --> 03:04:07,920 Bernardo could expand on that if he 4520 03:04:12,410 --> 03:04:10,080 probably much better than I I can but 4521 03:04:14,870 --> 03:04:12,420 but I think I read today or yesterday 4522 03:04:17,349 --> 03:04:14,880 that they found bacteria that could eat 4523 03:04:19,670 --> 03:04:17,359 viruses and somehow I think that 4524 03:04:22,010 --> 03:04:19,680 personally much more interesting I don't 4525 03:04:24,050 --> 03:04:22,020 know why but because I also found 4526 03:04:26,690 --> 03:04:24,060 bacteria that could break down plastic 4527 03:04:27,710 --> 03:04:26,700 so there's there's that's some hopeful 4528 03:04:30,050 --> 03:04:27,720 news 4529 03:04:32,510 --> 03:04:30,060 there you go that's very cool and 4530 03:04:35,929 --> 03:04:32,520 Bernardo what about yourself 4531 03:04:38,210 --> 03:04:35,939 oh my heart is torn across three I'll 4532 03:04:41,750 --> 03:04:38,220 mention him briefly and you take a pic 4533 03:04:44,630 --> 03:04:41,760 the proof of principle of nuclear fusion 4534 03:04:48,290 --> 03:04:44,640 was something that will be in the annals 4535 03:04:50,410 --> 03:04:48,300 of history for centuries to come 4536 03:04:52,910 --> 03:04:50,420 um and two breakthroughs in 4537 03:04:55,070 --> 03:04:52,920 immunotherapy for cancer 4538 03:04:56,570 --> 03:04:55,080 one for rectal cancer and one that's 4539 03:04:58,730 --> 03:04:56,580 probably applicable to many many 4540 03:05:01,070 --> 03:04:58,740 different forms of cancer one in the U.S 4541 03:05:05,290 --> 03:05:01,080 one in the UK it's for the first time in 4542 03:05:09,410 --> 03:05:05,300 my lifetime that I hear cancer news that 4543 03:05:12,710 --> 03:05:09,420 truly may be the beginning of something 4544 03:05:14,750 --> 03:05:12,720 and not just you know something that 4545 03:05:17,330 --> 03:05:14,760 cannot be replicated or is only 4546 03:05:20,389 --> 03:05:17,340 applicable to a very specific form of 4547 03:05:23,710 --> 03:05:20,399 cancer now these two things these opened 4548 03:05:26,809 --> 03:05:23,720 doors here so I think we will remember 4549 03:05:30,230 --> 03:05:26,819 2022 first and foremost for the 4550 03:05:31,849 --> 03:05:30,240 catastrophe of what Russia is doing in 4551 03:05:34,910 --> 03:05:31,859 the European continent after we thought 4552 03:05:38,330 --> 03:05:34,920 large-scale war was a 20th century thing 4553 03:05:39,650 --> 03:05:38,340 but we will also remember 22 2022 for 4554 03:05:41,990 --> 03:05:39,660 the fusion breakthrough and the 4555 03:05:44,570 --> 03:05:42,000 immunotherapy Breakthrough for for 4556 03:05:46,790 --> 03:05:44,580 cancer therapy 4557 03:05:48,590 --> 03:05:46,800 and Tony what about yourself 4558 03:05:50,929 --> 03:05:48,600 I literally was going to say you break 4559 03:05:53,330 --> 03:05:50,939 these breakthroughs and fusion 4560 03:05:55,010 --> 03:05:53,340 um also because 4561 03:05:57,710 --> 03:05:55,020 you know one of my disappointments 4562 03:06:00,170 --> 03:05:57,720 honestly with science is that and I drew 4563 03:06:03,230 --> 03:06:00,180 this graph while Avi was speaking is 4564 03:06:04,429 --> 03:06:03,240 that I feel like that our I'll just say 4565 03:06:08,389 --> 03:06:04,439 it 4566 03:06:12,230 --> 03:06:08,399 um this is this is scientifical okay I 4567 03:06:17,590 --> 03:06:12,240 can get it to where it's not so this 4568 03:06:22,730 --> 03:06:17,600 devil the devil dashed line is the 4569 03:06:25,130 --> 03:06:22,740 this is AI okay and as what's the 4570 03:06:28,610 --> 03:06:25,140 background is going crazy in it so as 4571 03:06:31,190 --> 03:06:28,620 the as the ability of AI 4572 03:06:34,490 --> 03:06:31,200 gets greater over time 4573 03:06:36,349 --> 03:06:34,500 than the Practical knowledge of humans 4574 03:06:39,590 --> 03:06:36,359 uh goes down 4575 03:06:41,929 --> 03:06:39,600 like this and at some point at some 4576 03:06:45,530 --> 03:06:41,939 point there will be a point where humans 4577 03:06:49,309 --> 03:06:45,540 cannot uh decide you know between the 4578 03:06:52,070 --> 03:06:49,319 two because of our I believe at some 4579 03:06:54,469 --> 03:06:52,080 point we will the knowledge the uh what 4580 03:06:57,710 --> 03:06:54,479 am I trying to say there's a gap but 4581 03:06:59,750 --> 03:06:57,720 that's widening between practical 4582 03:07:02,750 --> 03:06:59,760 knowledge and science you know practical 4583 03:07:06,230 --> 03:07:02,760 science and theoretical science there's 4584 03:07:09,050 --> 03:07:06,240 a the Gap is widening right a lot of the 4585 03:07:10,550 --> 03:07:09,060 you know this is just my intuition one 4586 03:07:13,130 --> 03:07:10,560 of the things I was born with I think 4587 03:07:16,070 --> 03:07:13,140 was a great intuition and my 4588 03:07:18,790 --> 03:07:16,080 intermission tells me that there the Gap 4589 03:07:22,429 --> 03:07:18,800 is widening so to the to the extent that 4590 03:07:24,769 --> 03:07:22,439 the the Practical things like the fusion 4591 03:07:27,110 --> 03:07:24,779 discoveries and continuing how long have 4592 03:07:29,990 --> 03:07:27,120 we been working on Fusion Bernardo for 4593 03:07:31,670 --> 03:07:30,000 40 years or something fitting longer 4594 03:07:37,130 --> 03:07:31,680 than that 50. 4595 03:07:38,809 --> 03:07:37,140 um that 17 17 yeah yeah so so that that 4596 03:07:41,269 --> 03:07:38,819 it seems like there's a gap and it's 4597 03:07:43,990 --> 03:07:41,279 growing and the more scientists that 4598 03:07:46,490 --> 03:07:44,000 make the jump to just being theoretical 4599 03:07:48,889 --> 03:07:46,500 then maybe I'm wrong but again this is 4600 03:07:52,750 --> 03:07:48,899 my intuition that's talking not there's 4601 03:07:56,510 --> 03:07:52,760 no proof of this well I think you are 4602 03:07:58,410 --> 03:07:56,520 120 right and you touched on one of the 4603 03:08:01,070 --> 03:07:58,420 greatest dangers to civilization 4604 03:08:03,889 --> 03:08:01,080 [Laughter] 4605 03:08:05,030 --> 03:08:03,899 but it's just you know you get this this 4606 03:08:07,250 --> 03:08:05,040 um 4607 03:08:10,070 --> 03:08:07,260 I've seen it in one of my challenges for 4608 03:08:12,889 --> 03:08:10,080 people you know in 2023 is to get back 4609 03:08:15,290 --> 03:08:12,899 to the new and away from the woo that's 4610 03:08:18,410 --> 03:08:15,300 my new that's my challenge for and the 4611 03:08:21,110 --> 03:08:18,420 new is to get going back to the Grind of 4612 03:08:23,809 --> 03:08:21,120 science you know grinding out those 4613 03:08:25,910 --> 03:08:23,819 those experiments doing the hard work 4614 03:08:28,670 --> 03:08:25,920 you know people give Einstein a hard 4615 03:08:30,889 --> 03:08:28,680 time because of his reluctance to you 4616 03:08:33,769 --> 03:08:30,899 know to jump on board with the quantum 4617 03:08:38,410 --> 03:08:33,779 mechanics but he may end up ultimately 4618 03:08:42,950 --> 03:08:38,420 being correct you know so uh 4619 03:08:44,450 --> 03:08:42,960 laughs who were you talking about oh 4620 03:08:47,030 --> 03:08:44,460 Einstein yeah yeah 4621 03:08:49,550 --> 03:08:47,040 that and again these are not I'm not you 4622 03:08:51,290 --> 03:08:49,560 know these are my my Impressions I don't 4623 03:08:52,849 --> 03:08:51,300 have a lot of knowledge to back them up 4624 03:08:56,210 --> 03:08:52,859 these are just Impressions I formed over 4625 03:08:57,769 --> 03:08:56,220 the last I turned 60 in October so Tony 4626 03:08:59,630 --> 03:08:57,779 thank you so much for answering that 4627 03:09:02,090 --> 03:08:59,640 Kurt before I pass a show back on to you 4628 03:09:04,250 --> 03:09:02,100 let me ask you that same question what 4629 03:09:06,950 --> 03:09:04,260 was your favorite news story of 2022 4630 03:09:10,370 --> 03:09:06,960 about science physics UFOs or whatever 4631 03:09:11,870 --> 03:09:10,380 mysterious topic that you've looked into 4632 03:09:12,830 --> 03:09:11,880 you you should answer this as well 4633 03:09:14,929 --> 03:09:12,840 Christina because you probably have a 4634 03:09:17,330 --> 03:09:14,939 great answer 4635 03:09:19,250 --> 03:09:17,340 it has to be mysterious it can be 4636 03:09:22,130 --> 03:09:19,260 anything that you found fascinating in 4637 03:09:23,929 --> 03:09:22,140 the year 2022. so so maybe this was 4638 03:09:25,910 --> 03:09:23,939 because I was going through 4639 03:09:27,170 --> 03:09:25,920 remember earlier John verakee referenced 4640 03:09:29,269 --> 03:09:27,180 The Dark Knight of the Soul so I was 4641 03:09:31,130 --> 03:09:29,279 going through some extreme turmoil 4642 03:09:34,370 --> 03:09:31,140 and 4643 03:09:36,050 --> 03:09:34,380 what fascinated me the most was the 4644 03:09:38,510 --> 03:09:36,060 Johnny Depp trial 4645 03:09:40,250 --> 03:09:38,520 I go oh my gosh I was just tuned into 4646 03:09:42,710 --> 03:09:40,260 that 4647 03:09:44,030 --> 03:09:42,720 I'm not a reality TV person but I can 4648 03:09:45,410 --> 03:09:44,040 understand what it's like to watch 4649 03:09:47,690 --> 03:09:45,420 reality TV 4650 03:09:49,910 --> 03:09:47,700 that was riveting 4651 03:09:54,950 --> 03:09:49,920 so 4652 03:09:56,750 --> 03:09:54,960 that's not a terribly intellectual 4653 03:09:58,130 --> 03:09:56,760 answer in the sense like maybe there's a 4654 03:09:59,630 --> 03:09:58,140 Nobel Prize in physics and then there's 4655 03:10:01,730 --> 03:09:59,640 no confusion 4656 03:10:04,790 --> 03:10:01,740 and then there's more heavy topics 4657 03:10:07,250 --> 03:10:04,800 events like the Ukrainian War 4658 03:10:09,710 --> 03:10:07,260 well for me in terms of what enthralled 4659 03:10:11,809 --> 03:10:09,720 me the most well it was that but mainly 4660 03:10:15,290 --> 03:10:11,819 because I had to distract myself because 4661 03:10:17,269 --> 03:10:15,300 I was so pulled in some other direction 4662 03:10:18,590 --> 03:10:17,279 and as for something more serious 4663 03:10:19,670 --> 03:10:18,600 something more research-based I have to 4664 03:10:21,950 --> 03:10:19,680 think about that what's your answer 4665 03:10:24,950 --> 03:10:21,960 Christina well I was going to say while 4666 03:10:26,750 --> 03:10:24,960 that Johnny Depp thing was really 4667 03:10:29,030 --> 03:10:26,760 enticing for many it was really 4668 03:10:30,889 --> 03:10:29,040 unfortunate that the UFO Congressional 4669 03:10:33,530 --> 03:10:30,899 hearing happened at the exact same time 4670 03:10:35,450 --> 03:10:33,540 as that celebrity hearing so there 4671 03:10:37,670 --> 03:10:35,460 weren't that many people interested in 4672 03:10:40,550 --> 03:10:37,680 the in the UFO Congressional hearing but 4673 03:10:43,510 --> 03:10:40,560 everyone was all interested in Johnny 4674 03:10:46,790 --> 03:10:43,520 Depp and Amber Heard is that her name 4675 03:10:49,070 --> 03:10:46,800 and so I found that like kind of sad but 4676 03:10:50,630 --> 03:10:49,080 I did really enjoy 4677 03:10:52,490 --> 03:10:50,640 um that particular hearing especially 4678 03:10:54,050 --> 03:10:52,500 with Gallagher I think he was the star 4679 03:10:57,230 --> 03:10:54,060 of the show asking all the hardball 4680 03:10:58,849 --> 03:10:57,240 questions to Moultrie and Bray but I 4681 03:11:01,490 --> 03:10:58,859 think as for the most 4682 03:11:03,349 --> 03:11:01,500 interesting news item of 2022 I'm gonna 4683 03:11:06,050 --> 03:11:03,359 have to agree with Dan on this one I 4684 03:11:07,550 --> 03:11:06,060 think the when we we got our first 4685 03:11:10,730 --> 03:11:07,560 images from the James Webb Space 4686 03:11:13,010 --> 03:11:10,740 Telescope searching for biosignatures in 4687 03:11:16,130 --> 03:11:13,020 the atmospheres of exoplanets that's 4688 03:11:20,570 --> 03:11:16,140 really exciting and our future seems 4689 03:11:25,910 --> 03:11:22,670 thanks Christina it's amazing I think 4690 03:11:27,410 --> 03:11:25,920 that how much data they've like brought 4691 03:11:28,849 --> 03:11:27,420 in and they're still going through the 4692 03:11:30,349 --> 03:11:28,859 data I saw someone in the comments say 4693 03:11:32,570 --> 03:11:30,359 they should take a photograph of both 4694 03:11:33,590 --> 03:11:32,580 with the James Webb Telescope and and I 4695 03:11:35,570 --> 03:11:33,600 wanted to write back where I couldn't 4696 03:11:36,590 --> 03:11:35,580 but they have and we'll see that data 4697 03:11:38,150 --> 03:11:36,600 soon and it's going to be really 4698 03:11:39,830 --> 03:11:38,160 exciting to see what they think about 4699 03:11:41,929 --> 03:11:39,840 what it looks like so we can compare it 4700 03:11:43,969 --> 03:11:41,939 you know 4701 03:11:46,550 --> 03:11:43,979 um it doesn't need to be now but uh 4702 03:11:49,309 --> 03:11:46,560 before I leave I wanted to amplify what 4703 03:11:50,990 --> 03:11:49,319 Tony said I don't think every anybody 4704 03:11:51,950 --> 03:11:51,000 else is latching on to that but I think 4705 03:11:56,510 --> 03:11:51,960 he just 4706 03:11:58,250 --> 03:11:56,520 said and I would like an opportunity to 4707 03:12:01,610 --> 03:11:58,260 amplify that at some point doesn't need 4708 03:12:03,349 --> 03:12:01,620 to be in our career well I I if I if I 4709 03:12:05,389 --> 03:12:03,359 hear you correctly it was going to be my 4710 03:12:07,070 --> 03:12:05,399 next point if I'm to speak about 4711 03:12:09,769 --> 03:12:07,080 something more cerebral or scholarly 4712 03:12:13,190 --> 03:12:09,779 that has captured my attention this year 4713 03:12:16,370 --> 03:12:13,200 it's about AI and I think that so 4714 03:12:18,050 --> 03:12:16,380 there's so many advances in AI in Ai and 4715 03:12:20,150 --> 03:12:18,060 there are different critical points for 4716 03:12:23,330 --> 03:12:20,160 different types of technology so for 4717 03:12:25,370 --> 03:12:23,340 instance when it comes to 4718 03:12:27,230 --> 03:12:25,380 electric vehicles apparently when you 4719 03:12:28,910 --> 03:12:27,240 hit the five percent Mark of people 4720 03:12:30,309 --> 03:12:28,920 having electric vehicles that's a 4721 03:12:32,929 --> 03:12:30,319 critical point because afterward 4722 03:12:34,849 --> 03:12:32,939 adoption accelerates 4723 03:12:36,710 --> 03:12:34,859 I think this year we've hit a critical 4724 03:12:38,110 --> 03:12:36,720 point in AI 4725 03:12:40,490 --> 03:12:38,120 to the point where 4726 03:12:42,830 --> 03:12:40,500 this podcast is going to focus more on 4727 03:12:45,410 --> 03:12:42,840 AI and it's it's something I never 4728 03:12:47,590 --> 03:12:45,420 thought that I would and I'm focused I'm 4729 03:12:50,150 --> 03:12:47,600 interested in it from its technological 4730 03:12:51,830 --> 03:12:50,160 applications how it works its 4731 03:12:54,710 --> 03:12:51,840 relationship to Consciousness but also 4732 03:12:56,750 --> 03:12:54,720 the threat I think that the people who 4733 03:12:59,389 --> 03:12:56,760 are and I said this on someone's podcast 4734 03:13:01,730 --> 03:12:59,399 Martin so sorry Martin if I didn't give 4735 03:13:04,010 --> 03:13:01,740 you an invite to this I apologize by the 4736 03:13:06,769 --> 03:13:04,020 way I was on Martin Willis's show where 4737 03:13:08,330 --> 03:13:06,779 he interviewed me about UFOs physics and 4738 03:13:09,469 --> 03:13:08,340 Consciousness the link is in the 4739 03:13:10,969 --> 03:13:09,479 description 4740 03:13:13,610 --> 03:13:10,979 I think that the people who are working 4741 03:13:15,590 --> 03:13:13,620 for open Ai and Google Google brain and 4742 03:13:17,630 --> 03:13:15,600 Microsoft and so on that they're like 4743 03:13:19,010 --> 03:13:17,640 the engineers sorry they're like the 4744 03:13:22,849 --> 03:13:19,020 physicists of the 4745 03:13:25,130 --> 03:13:22,859 late 1930s and early 1940s working on 4746 03:13:26,269 --> 03:13:25,140 the bomb the atomic bomb where they're 4747 03:13:28,969 --> 03:13:26,279 so 4748 03:13:30,590 --> 03:13:28,979 jazzed about the physics of it that 4749 03:13:31,490 --> 03:13:30,600 they're not thinking about what are they 4750 03:13:33,110 --> 03:13:31,500 creating 4751 03:13:34,730 --> 03:13:33,120 and I think that something will happen 4752 03:13:36,769 --> 03:13:34,740 where they're going to be like Einstein 4753 03:13:38,750 --> 03:13:36,779 who said I'm paraphrasing he'd burn his 4754 03:13:40,250 --> 03:13:38,760 fingers or he'd burn his hands if he had 4755 03:13:41,450 --> 03:13:40,260 known that his creation would have 4756 03:13:43,070 --> 03:13:41,460 produced that 4757 03:13:46,190 --> 03:13:43,080 I think that the people who are working 4758 03:13:48,230 --> 03:13:46,200 for open AI they think in terms of 4759 03:13:49,849 --> 03:13:48,240 like like I mentioned again this to 4760 03:13:51,950 --> 03:13:49,859 Martin that we're having such fun 4761 03:13:54,469 --> 03:13:51,960 talking about these subjects but it's 4762 03:13:55,849 --> 03:13:54,479 much more fun to work on these subjects 4763 03:13:58,250 --> 03:13:55,859 to engine to actually work on the 4764 03:14:00,170 --> 03:13:58,260 engineering 4765 03:14:01,370 --> 03:14:00,180 they're I don't think they're thinking 4766 03:14:02,630 --> 03:14:01,380 about 4767 03:14:03,969 --> 03:14:02,640 I don't firstly I don't think they're 4768 03:14:06,230 --> 03:14:03,979 thinking much about the implications 4769 03:14:07,490 --> 03:14:06,240 unless it's something positive and then 4770 03:14:09,110 --> 03:14:07,500 they're deluding themselves that it will 4771 03:14:10,370 --> 03:14:09,120 only be used in a positive sense or that 4772 03:14:12,469 --> 03:14:10,380 it could only be used in a positive 4773 03:14:14,090 --> 03:14:12,479 sense and I also think that they may be 4774 03:14:16,790 --> 03:14:14,100 thinking well look if I'm not working on 4775 03:14:18,230 --> 03:14:16,800 on AI someone else will that reminds me 4776 03:14:20,510 --> 03:14:18,240 of this movie I think it's called Lord 4777 03:14:22,370 --> 03:14:20,520 of War with Nicholas Cage where he said 4778 03:14:24,590 --> 03:14:22,380 hey I'm gonna be a weapons dealer 4779 03:14:26,030 --> 03:14:24,600 because if I'm not someone else is just 4780 03:14:28,969 --> 03:14:26,040 going to take my place and I think 4781 03:14:31,610 --> 03:14:28,979 that's a poor an extremely poor position 4782 03:14:33,590 --> 03:14:31,620 to be in and a poor decision to be made 4783 03:14:35,269 --> 03:14:33,600 I think that you should constantly worry 4784 03:14:36,590 --> 03:14:35,279 about am I keeping my own hands clean 4785 03:14:37,910 --> 03:14:36,600 and not worry about if someone else is 4786 03:14:39,349 --> 03:14:37,920 going to dirty their hands in place of 4787 03:14:41,990 --> 03:14:39,359 me 4788 03:14:43,969 --> 03:14:42,000 so I think that I think that the people 4789 03:14:45,110 --> 03:14:43,979 who are working who are engineering 4790 03:14:49,250 --> 03:14:45,120 these 4791 03:14:52,309 --> 03:14:49,260 negative sense 4792 03:14:54,530 --> 03:14:52,319 may they 4793 03:14:55,969 --> 03:14:54,540 I say may because it's uncertain but may 4794 03:14:58,730 --> 03:14:55,979 burn their hands 4795 03:15:00,349 --> 03:14:58,740 or may wish that they had okay Bernardo 4796 03:15:03,889 --> 03:15:00,359 I'm going to let in I'm going to 4797 03:15:04,910 --> 03:15:03,899 introduce by ashdakar physicist here and 4798 03:15:08,330 --> 03:15:04,920 then 4799 03:15:09,469 --> 03:15:08,340 I'm going to let you wrap up as you have 4800 03:15:13,309 --> 03:15:09,479 to leave 4801 03:15:15,769 --> 03:15:13,319 and and perhaps even say hi to the 4802 03:15:18,230 --> 03:15:15,779 founder of loop quantum gravity one of 4803 03:15:20,450 --> 03:15:18,240 the founders of I asked the car 4804 03:15:22,910 --> 03:15:20,460 legendary physicist 4805 03:15:26,330 --> 03:15:22,920 thank you thank you for coming on this 4806 03:15:26,340 --> 03:15:29,389 it's an honor 4807 03:15:34,130 --> 03:15:32,210 thank you it's a pleasure for me to join 4808 03:15:38,050 --> 03:15:34,140 you all 4809 03:15:40,250 --> 03:15:38,060 context 4810 03:15:42,830 --> 03:15:40,260 ashdakar has been on the tow podcast 4811 03:15:45,710 --> 03:15:42,840 before and he if you've heard about 4812 03:15:47,690 --> 03:15:45,720 quantum gravity there are there's an 4813 03:15:50,870 --> 03:15:47,700 approach called Loop quantum gravity and 4814 03:15:52,670 --> 03:15:50,880 ashtakar is one of the it would not be 4815 03:15:54,650 --> 03:15:52,680 the whole field of loop quantum gravity 4816 03:15:55,730 --> 03:15:54,660 wouldn't be here if not for ashtakar or 4817 03:15:58,130 --> 03:15:55,740 maybe it would just be it would be 4818 03:16:00,050 --> 03:15:58,140 pushed by decades and advancing he's a 4819 03:16:01,670 --> 03:16:00,060 humble person so he would disagree with 4820 03:16:03,650 --> 03:16:01,680 that but 4821 03:16:06,769 --> 03:16:03,660 either way it's just it's an honor to 4822 03:16:08,450 --> 03:16:06,779 have you here and and I also respect you 4823 03:16:10,130 --> 03:16:08,460 because you talk about the two spheres 4824 03:16:11,870 --> 03:16:10,140 that is the inner world and the outer 4825 03:16:13,670 --> 03:16:11,880 world and that physics just explores the 4826 03:16:15,590 --> 03:16:13,680 outer 4827 03:16:18,290 --> 03:16:15,600 thank you for coming on 4828 03:16:20,630 --> 03:16:18,300 hello it's my pleasure 4829 03:16:21,710 --> 03:16:20,640 so we were talking about what is it I 4830 03:16:22,910 --> 03:16:21,720 believe Christina I didn't hear the 4831 03:16:25,730 --> 03:16:22,920 original question but it was something 4832 03:16:28,849 --> 03:16:25,740 about 2022 and what sticks out to us 4833 03:16:31,550 --> 03:16:28,859 scientifically from it or your your 4834 03:16:34,550 --> 03:16:31,560 favorite news item of 2022. 4835 03:16:36,650 --> 03:16:34,560 in the field that you specialize in 4836 03:16:39,230 --> 03:16:36,660 and I believe Bernardo Castro Bernardo 4837 03:16:41,030 --> 03:16:39,240 you have to get going so no no no if you 4838 03:16:43,309 --> 03:16:41,040 don't I don't have to get going I just I 4839 03:16:45,889 --> 03:16:43,319 just didn't want Tony's point to be lost 4840 03:16:47,510 --> 03:16:45,899 as we move on to other things okay so 4841 03:16:49,490 --> 03:16:47,520 I'm I'm not sure if I hit Tony's point 4842 03:16:52,730 --> 03:16:49,500 so Bernardo do you mind just touching on 4843 03:16:55,370 --> 03:16:52,740 it before this gives Professor some time 4844 03:16:56,690 --> 03:16:55,380 to think about that 2022 question so I 4845 03:17:00,469 --> 03:16:56,700 will express my possible 4846 03:17:02,929 --> 03:17:00,479 misunderstanding of Tony's Point 4847 03:17:05,990 --> 03:17:02,939 um I think the graph he showed what he 4848 03:17:08,330 --> 03:17:06,000 shows is that because we have so many 4849 03:17:09,950 --> 03:17:08,340 tools that automate things for us and 4850 03:17:11,690 --> 03:17:09,960 with the Advent of AI this is 4851 03:17:13,550 --> 03:17:11,700 accelerating 4852 03:17:14,990 --> 03:17:13,560 um everything is getting automated we 4853 03:17:18,410 --> 03:17:15,000 don't need to think about things anymore 4854 03:17:20,809 --> 03:17:18,420 we are retreating into a world of pure 4855 03:17:23,570 --> 03:17:20,819 conceptual abstraction and sort of 4856 03:17:25,910 --> 03:17:23,580 losing touch with reality with the 4857 03:17:27,650 --> 03:17:25,920 reality of building something with your 4858 03:17:29,750 --> 03:17:27,660 hands with the reality and it doesn't 4859 03:17:32,870 --> 03:17:29,760 need to be low Tech even high tech I 4860 03:17:35,870 --> 03:17:32,880 mean if I can express some of my 4861 03:17:38,269 --> 03:17:35,880 perennial frustrations there are two 4862 03:17:42,230 --> 03:17:38,279 Fields very close to me which sometimes 4863 03:17:45,290 --> 03:17:42,240 I fear are getting lost in in conceptual 4864 03:17:46,969 --> 03:17:45,300 abstraction one is computer science it 4865 03:17:49,130 --> 03:17:46,979 has separated itself from computer 4866 03:17:52,490 --> 03:17:49,140 engineering to the point that computer 4867 03:17:55,309 --> 03:17:52,500 scientists now that are doing the 4868 03:17:57,230 --> 03:17:55,319 talk show around and the podcast round 4869 03:17:59,330 --> 03:17:57,240 they don't really know what a computer 4870 03:18:01,330 --> 03:17:59,340 is because they're operating on layers 4871 03:18:05,150 --> 03:18:01,340 and layers and layers of abstraction 4872 03:18:06,950 --> 03:18:05,160 libraries and apis and whatnot and and 4873 03:18:09,050 --> 03:18:06,960 and then you can get into a situation 4874 03:18:10,969 --> 03:18:09,060 there you say well if the Silicon 4875 03:18:13,429 --> 03:18:10,979 computer is sophisticated enough maybe 4876 03:18:15,889 --> 03:18:13,439 it's conscious that's what you get when 4877 03:18:18,830 --> 03:18:15,899 you get lost in abstraction another 4878 03:18:20,570 --> 03:18:18,840 field that I think and and this is not 4879 03:18:23,530 --> 03:18:20,580 uh I'm not saying this because because 4880 03:18:26,090 --> 03:18:23,540 ashtaker is here and and I don't 4881 03:18:29,269 --> 03:18:26,100 think he is an example of what I'm about 4882 03:18:31,250 --> 03:18:29,279 to say an example of what I'm about to 4883 03:18:34,130 --> 03:18:31,260 say is precisely the person who wrote a 4884 03:18:36,349 --> 03:18:34,140 book called The Lost in abstraction 4885 03:18:38,450 --> 03:18:36,359 um which is theoretical physics if it 4886 03:18:42,230 --> 03:18:38,460 departs too much from experimental 4887 03:18:44,389 --> 03:18:42,240 physics from you know the raw reality of 4888 03:18:47,889 --> 03:18:44,399 what you have to do to see a physical 4889 03:18:50,630 --> 03:18:47,899 effect on a measurement surface 4890 03:18:51,889 --> 03:18:50,640 I don't think it is good 4891 03:18:54,530 --> 03:18:51,899 um 4892 03:18:58,130 --> 03:18:54,540 I I worked at CERN uh for for a couple 4893 03:18:59,690 --> 03:18:58,140 of years and to mention an explicit 4894 03:19:01,849 --> 03:18:59,700 example I'm not going after this 4895 03:19:03,769 --> 03:19:01,859 person's gratuitously it just happens to 4896 03:19:07,070 --> 03:19:03,779 be a good example for what I'm trying to 4897 03:19:09,530 --> 03:19:07,080 say zabini hosenfelder who is famous for 4898 03:19:10,910 --> 03:19:09,540 the statement loss and abstraction 4899 03:19:11,990 --> 03:19:10,920 I think she's completely lost in 4900 03:19:14,990 --> 03:19:12,000 abstraction 4901 03:19:17,030 --> 03:19:15,000 I think the the entire point of super 4902 03:19:19,190 --> 03:19:17,040 determinism is based on those hidden 4903 03:19:20,870 --> 03:19:19,200 variables that nobody defined 4904 03:19:23,030 --> 03:19:20,880 and you're trying to propose an 4905 03:19:24,710 --> 03:19:23,040 experiment that needs to control for the 4906 03:19:27,590 --> 03:19:24,720 initial conditions of these variables 4907 03:19:30,110 --> 03:19:27,600 without defining them I mean if somebody 4908 03:19:32,809 --> 03:19:30,120 had spent time doing experimental 4909 03:19:35,630 --> 03:19:32,819 physics you would know that we would 4910 03:19:38,450 --> 03:19:35,640 never have found the Higgs boson if a 4911 03:19:41,389 --> 03:19:38,460 physicist Peter Higgs hasn't had hadn't 4912 03:19:43,550 --> 03:19:41,399 defined for us what the Higgs boson is 4913 03:19:46,969 --> 03:19:43,560 what is the energy range where we expect 4914 03:19:48,590 --> 03:19:46,979 to find it what does it decay into very 4915 03:19:51,050 --> 03:19:48,600 important because we never measure the 4916 03:19:53,570 --> 03:19:51,060 Higgs boson directly it decays quickly 4917 03:19:56,450 --> 03:19:53,580 what interacts with measurement surfaces 4918 03:19:59,090 --> 03:19:56,460 are are the footprint of the Higgs it's 4919 03:20:02,090 --> 03:19:59,100 what it decays into and Peter Higgs gave 4920 03:20:04,010 --> 03:20:02,100 us hints about that to bottom quarks 4921 03:20:06,889 --> 03:20:04,020 maybe a w and z boson now we know even 4922 03:20:09,950 --> 03:20:06,899 two muons uh can can be the result of 4923 03:20:13,670 --> 03:20:09,960 the decay of the Higgs boson and I was 4924 03:20:17,510 --> 03:20:13,680 there building this stuff to to find the 4925 03:20:19,670 --> 03:20:17,520 Higgs boson and we built it based on the 4926 03:20:21,230 --> 03:20:19,680 knowledge of what it would Decay into so 4927 03:20:23,870 --> 03:20:21,240 the second level trigger in the data 4928 03:20:26,210 --> 03:20:23,880 acquisition system of the atlas is based 4929 03:20:28,610 --> 03:20:26,220 on rejecting events that have Jets and 4930 03:20:33,590 --> 03:20:28,620 no heavy electrons or muons it's it's 4931 03:20:36,830 --> 03:20:33,600 part of it so without grounding theory 4932 03:20:39,590 --> 03:20:36,840 on experimentally verifiable things that 4933 03:20:41,090 --> 03:20:39,600 allow us to build an experiment one is 4934 03:20:44,150 --> 03:20:41,100 lost in abstraction and super 4935 03:20:46,910 --> 03:20:44,160 determinism is a is a 4936 03:20:49,010 --> 03:20:46,920 is a cruel example of that because it 4937 03:20:51,170 --> 03:20:49,020 comes from somebody who makes this point 4938 03:20:54,110 --> 03:20:51,180 that we shouldn't be lost in abstraction 4939 03:20:56,450 --> 03:20:54,120 well congratulations then don't be lost 4940 03:20:59,630 --> 03:20:56,460 in abstraction give us a theoretical 4941 03:21:02,630 --> 03:20:59,640 handle that allow allows us to verify 4942 03:21:05,030 --> 03:21:02,640 and disprove the hypothesis and not to 4943 03:21:06,590 --> 03:21:05,040 propose experiments that are so vague as 4944 03:21:08,510 --> 03:21:06,600 to be impossible to do and even if we 4945 03:21:10,370 --> 03:21:08,520 could do them they wouldn't never 4946 03:21:12,710 --> 03:21:10,380 disprove the hypothesis because you can 4947 03:21:14,210 --> 03:21:12,720 ever you can always say well the 4948 03:21:16,070 --> 03:21:14,220 experiment failed because we couldn't 4949 03:21:17,990 --> 03:21:16,080 control the initial conditions for the 4950 03:21:20,570 --> 03:21:18,000 hidden variables well why not because 4951 03:21:23,450 --> 03:21:20,580 you haven't defined them how can we 4952 03:21:25,910 --> 03:21:23,460 control for the initial conditions and 4953 03:21:27,290 --> 03:21:25,920 and these are examples I think Tony I 4954 03:21:31,010 --> 03:21:27,300 don't know whether I'm taking you too 4955 03:21:34,130 --> 03:21:31,020 far but these are examples where we lose 4956 03:21:38,450 --> 03:21:34,140 touch with the concreteness of things we 4957 03:21:40,790 --> 03:21:38,460 can hold in our hands you know I don't 4958 03:21:43,730 --> 03:21:40,800 know scintillating scintillating tile in 4959 03:21:46,250 --> 03:21:43,740 a tile calorimeter you know touch that 4960 03:21:49,190 --> 03:21:46,260 thing see it feed a photo multiplier and 4961 03:21:51,469 --> 03:21:49,200 then you are close to reality or in 4962 03:21:54,050 --> 03:21:51,479 computer science build a darn computer 4963 03:21:56,809 --> 03:21:54,060 no one computer a year keeps the Mind 4964 03:22:00,769 --> 03:21:56,819 clear build one build a toy computer but 4965 03:22:01,730 --> 03:22:00,779 ground your computer science in real 4966 03:22:04,190 --> 03:22:01,740 stuff 4967 03:22:06,050 --> 03:22:04,200 and not in a lost world of pure 4968 03:22:08,389 --> 03:22:06,060 ungrounded conceptual abstraction and 4969 03:22:11,330 --> 03:22:08,399 that's what's happening and AI will make 4970 03:22:14,210 --> 03:22:11,340 it worse how many people today own a car 4971 03:22:17,330 --> 03:22:14,220 and a house without knowing how 4972 03:22:21,050 --> 03:22:17,340 to change a fuse or a tire 4973 03:22:24,830 --> 03:22:21,060 I mean or to fix uh something in the 4974 03:22:26,630 --> 03:22:24,840 roof I mean this is concerning uh I 4975 03:22:29,750 --> 03:22:26,640 I used to be in semiconductors 4976 03:22:31,250 --> 03:22:29,760 manufacturing for many years I I I would 4977 03:22:33,590 --> 03:22:31,260 tell you a few years ago I think it's 4978 03:22:35,450 --> 03:22:33,600 much worse now that there are about 2 4979 03:22:37,070 --> 03:22:35,460 000 people in the world who know how to 4980 03:22:40,250 --> 03:22:37,080 start from Sand 4981 03:22:42,170 --> 03:22:40,260 and end up with an Apple Macintosh 4982 03:22:44,570 --> 03:22:42,180 about two thousand it's probably less 4983 03:22:47,389 --> 03:22:44,580 now you know if those two thousand 4984 03:22:48,650 --> 03:22:47,399 people tomorrow selectively die we're 4985 03:22:51,230 --> 03:22:48,660 screwed 4986 03:22:53,690 --> 03:22:51,240 and and and that's the problem and and I 4987 03:22:55,730 --> 03:22:53,700 think Tony's graph shows that this is 4988 03:23:00,230 --> 03:22:55,740 only going to get worse especially with 4989 03:23:02,330 --> 03:23:00,240 AI that is replacing us for the basic 4990 03:23:06,530 --> 03:23:02,340 things with which we maintain 4991 03:23:10,849 --> 03:23:09,050 all right thank you Bernard I guess 4992 03:23:12,650 --> 03:23:10,859 since you mentioned me as a theoretical 4993 03:23:14,150 --> 03:23:12,660 physicist I I just want to say that I 4994 03:23:17,030 --> 03:23:14,160 completely agree with you that you know 4995 03:23:19,250 --> 03:23:17,040 that that has to be much more grounding 4996 03:23:21,889 --> 03:23:19,260 with the with the reality of the 4997 03:23:23,269 --> 03:23:21,899 experiments with uh so but I don't agree 4998 03:23:25,429 --> 03:23:23,279 that everybody has to build a computer 4999 03:23:27,050 --> 03:23:25,439 if I try to build a computer myself I'll 5000 03:23:28,370 --> 03:23:27,060 probably break so many things and it's 5001 03:23:31,750 --> 03:23:28,380 not worth it but on the other hand I 5002 03:23:35,269 --> 03:23:31,760 should be aware computer scientists 5003 03:23:37,849 --> 03:23:35,279 should build a computer yeah okay but I 5004 03:23:39,830 --> 03:23:37,859 mean I'm not sure that I can actually 5005 03:23:40,929 --> 03:23:39,840 things do things the photo multipliers 5006 03:23:43,010 --> 03:23:40,939 either 5007 03:23:45,349 --> 03:23:43,020 but on the other hand you know I know 5008 03:23:47,630 --> 03:23:45,359 what they do and I know you know so that 5009 03:23:49,849 --> 03:23:47,640 I the basic point I agree with you and I 5010 03:23:52,429 --> 03:23:49,859 think that there is a tendency for 5011 03:23:54,889 --> 03:23:52,439 example in string theory to move way too 5012 03:23:56,750 --> 03:23:54,899 far away from the actual physical world 5013 03:23:58,550 --> 03:23:56,760 and then you just Define certain things 5014 03:24:00,290 --> 03:23:58,560 to be interesting even though they have 5015 03:24:03,050 --> 03:24:00,300 nothing to do with the actual world we 5016 03:24:05,330 --> 03:24:03,060 live in and I think that is not a good 5017 03:24:07,729 --> 03:24:05,340 direction so I basically the fundamental 5018 03:24:09,769 --> 03:24:07,739 level I agree with you 5019 03:24:11,630 --> 03:24:09,779 I feel passionate about this because I 5020 03:24:14,450 --> 03:24:11,640 got burned very early in my life when I 5021 03:24:17,210 --> 03:24:14,460 was at CERN I was in my early 20s and 5022 03:24:20,210 --> 03:24:17,220 you know the media talks about you know 5023 03:24:22,550 --> 03:24:20,220 the LHC and the atlas the CMS being all 5024 03:24:24,830 --> 03:24:22,560 about finding the Higgs boson people who 5025 03:24:26,690 --> 03:24:24,840 were there knew it was not about that we 5026 03:24:28,250 --> 03:24:26,700 had events of the Higgs boson since the 5027 03:24:29,570 --> 03:24:28,260 LEP 5028 03:24:32,750 --> 03:24:29,580 um that we just didn't have the 5029 03:24:35,269 --> 03:24:32,760 statistics I was doing this for Susie 5030 03:24:36,650 --> 03:24:35,279 for supersymmetry because I thought this 5031 03:24:38,870 --> 03:24:36,660 is so beautiful it has to be true it 5032 03:24:40,969 --> 03:24:38,880 just has to be true it cannot not be 5033 03:24:44,269 --> 03:24:40,979 true and it's not true 5034 03:24:47,150 --> 03:24:44,279 and and that burn be pre-band and uh so 5035 03:24:49,250 --> 03:24:47,160 that's yeah it's echoing in my heart due 5036 03:24:51,110 --> 03:24:49,260 to this day yeah I have a I have a 5037 03:24:52,130 --> 03:24:51,120 question for both of you 5038 03:24:54,229 --> 03:24:52,140 um if you don't mind 5039 03:24:56,150 --> 03:24:54,239 um well we not at some point in the 5040 03:24:58,429 --> 03:24:56,160 future find that there is a physical 5041 03:25:00,349 --> 03:24:58,439 connection between things like 5042 03:25:03,229 --> 03:25:00,359 Consciousness in our brain and then 5043 03:25:05,570 --> 03:25:03,239 physical connections between entangled 5044 03:25:08,090 --> 03:25:05,580 partial particles you know what I mean 5045 03:25:10,010 --> 03:25:08,100 I'm a physical type of person and I 5046 03:25:12,290 --> 03:25:10,020 would I would love to think that it's 5047 03:25:14,330 --> 03:25:12,300 not woo that eventually we will be able 5048 03:25:16,190 --> 03:25:14,340 to drill down enough to be able to find 5049 03:25:18,290 --> 03:25:16,200 these connections between 5050 03:25:20,510 --> 03:25:18,300 there's so many people outside of 5051 03:25:23,269 --> 03:25:20,520 science especially on social media have 5052 03:25:25,729 --> 03:25:23,279 this tendency to create this uh sort of 5053 03:25:27,830 --> 03:25:25,739 mysterious world around you know it's 5054 03:25:29,809 --> 03:25:27,840 like living in a simulation you know we 5055 03:25:31,490 --> 03:25:29,819 can't imagine that there might be a 5056 03:25:34,550 --> 03:25:31,500 physical connection between entangled 5057 03:25:40,429 --> 03:25:34,560 particles light years away or I mean is 5058 03:25:45,469 --> 03:25:42,349 oh I'm sorry Professor I just wanted to 5059 03:25:48,650 --> 03:25:45,479 introduce Kevin knuth is in the house so 5060 03:25:51,050 --> 03:25:48,660 Kevin knuth thank you for joining 5061 03:25:53,570 --> 03:25:51,060 and thank you for having me 5062 03:25:54,889 --> 03:25:53,580 yeah of course I'm so glad you can make 5063 03:25:57,710 --> 03:25:54,899 it as well 5064 03:25:59,450 --> 03:25:57,720 you're I I don't want to butcher your 5065 03:26:01,790 --> 03:25:59,460 introduction and I apologize if I'm 5066 03:26:03,530 --> 03:26:01,800 asking you to introduce yourself but I 5067 03:26:05,630 --> 03:26:03,540 will bolster what you say and I know 5068 03:26:07,729 --> 03:26:05,640 that you're the editor-in-chief of the 5069 03:26:10,070 --> 03:26:07,739 entropy Journal as well as as well as 5070 03:26:11,690 --> 03:26:10,080 being a physics Professor but but please 5071 03:26:14,570 --> 03:26:11,700 could you just briefly introduce 5072 03:26:17,050 --> 03:26:14,580 yourself and then ashtakar Professor 5073 03:26:20,630 --> 03:26:17,060 ashtakar I miss colleague you asked 5074 03:26:22,790 --> 03:26:20,640 constantly sorry about that no no you 5075 03:26:24,229 --> 03:26:22,800 can finish what you were saying and 5076 03:26:27,050 --> 03:26:24,239 there's so many people that are so glad 5077 03:26:30,710 --> 03:26:27,060 to see all of you Bernardo Tony Jack Dan 5078 03:26:32,690 --> 03:26:30,720 Christina avai ashtakar Kevin so thank 5079 03:26:36,349 --> 03:26:32,700 you all for coming out to this like this 5080 03:26:41,330 --> 03:26:36,359 just fun event on our on a New Year's 5081 03:26:43,969 --> 03:26:42,229 Kevin 5082 03:26:45,410 --> 03:26:43,979 oh great thank you well thank you so 5083 03:26:47,690 --> 03:26:45,420 much for having me I'm 5084 03:26:50,450 --> 03:26:47,700 excited to be here and um I'm a 5085 03:26:52,250 --> 03:26:50,460 professor Kevin knuth I'm an associate 5086 03:26:53,710 --> 03:26:52,260 professor of physics at the University 5087 03:26:56,030 --> 03:26:53,720 at Albany 5088 03:27:02,929 --> 03:26:56,040 and um 5089 03:27:09,290 --> 03:27:05,990 and as Kurt said I was I'm also the 5090 03:27:11,750 --> 03:27:09,300 editor-in-chief of the journal entropy 5091 03:27:14,389 --> 03:27:11,760 great great okay Professor I interrupted 5092 03:27:17,809 --> 03:27:14,399 you please well I'm just saying that in 5093 03:27:20,269 --> 03:27:17,819 general terms I completely agree that uh 5094 03:27:22,070 --> 03:27:20,279 that there is actually a con kind of a 5095 03:27:24,410 --> 03:27:22,080 relation between you know our 5096 03:27:26,809 --> 03:27:24,420 Consciousness or like equality in the 5097 03:27:29,630 --> 03:27:26,819 world and also the Auto World 5098 03:27:32,630 --> 03:27:29,640 uh there's that and I think as 5099 03:27:35,269 --> 03:27:32,640 Neuroscience advances to what is 5100 03:27:39,050 --> 03:27:35,279 actually finding circuits in the brain 5101 03:27:41,389 --> 03:27:39,060 which give us this sense of me I 5102 03:27:44,330 --> 03:27:41,399 Etc and then when these circuits are 5103 03:27:46,490 --> 03:27:44,340 Switched Off by meditation for example 5104 03:27:50,229 --> 03:27:46,500 and this is something that actually has 5105 03:27:57,830 --> 03:27:54,889 the Yale Laboratories that one actually 5106 03:28:00,410 --> 03:27:57,840 finds that these people have an 5107 03:28:05,210 --> 03:28:00,420 experience in which there is no such 5108 03:28:06,110 --> 03:28:05,220 contact with the with the usual sense of 5109 03:28:08,210 --> 03:28:06,120 ego 5110 03:28:10,190 --> 03:28:08,220 and there's a very different kind of 5111 03:28:12,050 --> 03:28:10,200 existence people have been talking about 5112 03:28:14,330 --> 03:28:12,060 it forever you know I mean both in the 5113 03:28:17,630 --> 03:28:14,340 you can go back in literature all across 5114 03:28:19,429 --> 03:28:17,640 the world uh starting with you know in 5115 03:28:22,330 --> 03:28:19,439 India and the 5116 03:28:26,030 --> 03:28:22,340 vedanta literature Buddha literature Etc 5117 03:28:29,809 --> 03:28:26,040 uh then we also have the delicious in 5118 03:28:33,889 --> 03:28:29,819 Turkey the literature that came down to 5119 03:28:36,170 --> 03:28:33,899 Eunice and Embry for example uh the the 5120 03:28:38,210 --> 03:28:36,180 beautiful poet poems you wrote I mean 5121 03:28:40,370 --> 03:28:38,220 you you see some Universal experience 5122 03:28:43,190 --> 03:28:40,380 and it seems that that Universal 5123 03:28:46,429 --> 03:28:43,200 experience is actually being connected 5124 03:28:49,250 --> 03:28:46,439 to actual Science Now namely that it is 5125 03:28:51,830 --> 03:28:49,260 I mean it's not explanation of these 5126 03:28:55,550 --> 03:28:51,840 experiences but it's a correlation 5127 03:28:57,170 --> 03:28:55,560 between those experiences and what 5128 03:29:00,110 --> 03:28:57,180 actually happens in the circuits in the 5129 03:29:03,190 --> 03:29:00,120 brain to me that is kind of a very nice 5130 03:29:06,530 --> 03:29:03,200 coming together gradual slowly 5131 03:29:08,870 --> 03:29:06,540 of this various ideas as for 5132 03:29:10,910 --> 03:29:08,880 entanglement specifically that you ask 5133 03:29:14,809 --> 03:29:10,920 there doesn't seem to be any direct 5134 03:29:17,450 --> 03:29:14,819 relation between that and uh and and the 5135 03:29:21,190 --> 03:29:17,460 Brain I mean the brain seems to be a 5136 03:29:24,349 --> 03:29:21,200 little bit too not too wet too hot place 5137 03:29:26,389 --> 03:29:24,359 that could cause Deco areas rather 5138 03:29:29,690 --> 03:29:26,399 rapidly and this is a hot debate that is 5139 03:29:31,849 --> 03:29:29,700 being you know that has been going on uh 5140 03:29:33,889 --> 03:29:31,859 but at the moment I mean this the 5141 03:29:37,250 --> 03:29:33,899 scientists from Neuroscience actually 5142 03:29:39,830 --> 03:29:37,260 are of the opinion that that 5143 03:29:42,110 --> 03:29:39,840 entanglement does not have a big role to 5144 03:29:44,150 --> 03:29:42,120 play and they may be wrong just because 5145 03:29:46,670 --> 03:29:44,160 of the coherence effects 5146 03:29:48,889 --> 03:29:46,680 yeah I'm sorry I meant the connections 5147 03:29:50,990 --> 03:29:48,899 between particles not connection between 5148 03:29:54,229 --> 03:29:51,000 our Consciousness and entangled 5149 03:29:57,469 --> 03:29:54,239 particles ah yeah and before you answer 5150 03:29:59,630 --> 03:29:57,479 that Professor Dan has to get going so 5151 03:30:03,250 --> 03:29:59,640 Dan thank you so much for for being here 5152 03:30:06,710 --> 03:30:03,260 I appreciate it and there's the signals 5153 03:30:08,750 --> 03:30:06,720 on screen right now as well as that UFO 5154 03:30:11,870 --> 03:30:08,760 podcast is the podcast Dan's a part of 5155 03:30:13,849 --> 03:30:11,880 and there's also a fundraiser if I'm not 5156 03:30:15,710 --> 03:30:13,859 mistaken 5157 03:30:17,570 --> 03:30:15,720 yeah that's right so so we're doing a 5158 03:30:18,950 --> 03:30:17,580 fundraiser where you can win 5159 03:30:20,690 --> 03:30:18,960 um a whole bunch of different prizes 5160 03:30:23,450 --> 03:30:20,700 some really awesome ones but the top 5161 03:30:26,870 --> 03:30:23,460 prize is a call with lu Elizondo himself 5162 03:30:30,290 --> 03:30:26,880 um so the URL for that is tinyurl.com if 5163 03:30:31,550 --> 03:30:30,300 you need forward slash UAP media raffle 5164 03:30:34,130 --> 03:30:31,560 um and that will be drawn you've got 5165 03:30:36,349 --> 03:30:34,140 until March so there's plenty of time 5166 03:30:37,910 --> 03:30:36,359 um so yeah to help out two great hoses 5167 03:30:39,830 --> 03:30:37,920 uh it's for the Humane Society 5168 03:30:41,510 --> 03:30:39,840 International and cash flow kids in the 5169 03:30:43,729 --> 03:30:41,520 UK which really directly help families 5170 03:30:45,950 --> 03:30:43,739 around this time of year so both really 5171 03:30:47,389 --> 03:30:45,960 good courses so any any entries that are 5172 03:30:48,950 --> 03:30:47,399 appreciated but 5173 03:30:50,870 --> 03:30:48,960 I just wanted to say thank you so much 5174 03:30:53,389 --> 03:30:50,880 to everyone for helping me Christina you 5175 03:30:56,150 --> 03:30:53,399 smashed hosting so uh Jack lovely to 5176 03:30:57,349 --> 03:30:56,160 meet you bonado amazingly provoking 5177 03:30:59,210 --> 03:30:57,359 points 5178 03:31:00,650 --> 03:30:59,220 um answers and Tony I think this is the 5179 03:31:01,849 --> 03:31:00,660 first time we've met but it's amazing to 5180 03:31:04,250 --> 03:31:01,859 finally connect 5181 03:31:06,110 --> 03:31:04,260 um ashtaker I wish I had more time to 5182 03:31:08,030 --> 03:31:06,120 kind of listen you talk it's fascinating 5183 03:31:10,370 --> 03:31:08,040 and Kevin 5184 03:31:11,750 --> 03:31:10,380 I think I've hit about 20 hours of 5185 03:31:13,130 --> 03:31:11,760 listening to you give lectures and I 5186 03:31:14,690 --> 03:31:13,140 know everyone here is in for an absolute 5187 03:31:16,370 --> 03:31:14,700 treat with you just coming in so thank 5188 03:31:17,690 --> 03:31:16,380 you for your work and thank you for 5189 03:31:19,969 --> 03:31:17,700 putting this together 5190 03:31:23,570 --> 03:31:19,979 have a great New Year everyone 5191 03:31:27,469 --> 03:31:25,670 bye-bye sorry Professor astric are you 5192 03:31:29,389 --> 03:31:27,479 were in the middle and then also Kevin 5193 03:31:31,610 --> 03:31:29,399 just something to chew on in the media 5194 03:31:33,769 --> 03:31:31,620 in the meantime is the question which 5195 03:31:37,490 --> 03:31:33,779 I'm taking from Christina of what is it 5196 03:31:38,690 --> 03:31:37,500 about 2022 that is at the Forefront of 5197 03:31:40,670 --> 03:31:38,700 your mind 5198 03:31:45,530 --> 03:31:40,680 so what strikes you as something that's 5199 03:31:50,210 --> 03:31:47,990 yes not for that question but for 5200 03:31:52,630 --> 03:31:50,220 answering Tony's question 5201 03:31:54,710 --> 03:31:52,640 yeah so told this question was about uh 5202 03:31:57,410 --> 03:31:54,720 entanglement of actual particles is that 5203 03:32:02,750 --> 03:32:00,950 I was I was asking is there is the 5204 03:32:04,490 --> 03:32:02,760 current you know schema to think that 5205 03:32:07,010 --> 03:32:04,500 there are actual physical connections 5206 03:32:10,790 --> 03:32:07,020 between entangled articles or I guess 5207 03:32:12,290 --> 03:32:10,800 this is really directed at the woo I I 5208 03:32:15,830 --> 03:32:12,300 would like to get back to more of a 5209 03:32:18,290 --> 03:32:15,840 physical science than a physics science 5210 03:32:20,210 --> 03:32:18,300 you know no yeah that's right so the 5211 03:32:21,650 --> 03:32:20,220 entitlement actually is real and there 5212 03:32:24,050 --> 03:32:21,660 is no question about it and that 5213 03:32:26,990 --> 03:32:24,060 actually that that can be Quantum 5214 03:32:29,450 --> 03:32:27,000 entangled or kilometer scales and this 5215 03:32:31,490 --> 03:32:29,460 is I mean the person answered the 5216 03:32:33,229 --> 03:32:31,500 Christina's question was one of the 5217 03:32:34,550 --> 03:32:33,239 exciting things for me was this Nobel 5218 03:32:37,250 --> 03:32:34,560 Prize which was given for Quantum 5219 03:32:39,229 --> 03:32:37,260 information and particularly for Antoine 5220 03:32:42,650 --> 03:32:39,239 ziding there who was the first person to 5221 03:32:44,690 --> 03:32:42,660 really push these things I mean not 5222 03:32:46,429 --> 03:32:44,700 entanglement but the technological 5223 03:32:48,170 --> 03:32:46,439 aspects of an attacker meant to showing 5224 03:32:51,290 --> 03:32:48,180 that in fact this thing doesn't really 5225 03:32:52,969 --> 03:32:51,300 exists or several kilometers you know 5226 03:32:56,389 --> 03:32:52,979 that is actually being used for things 5227 03:32:58,250 --> 03:32:56,399 like you know this course for for 5228 03:33:00,590 --> 03:32:58,260 banking systems so it's actually 5229 03:33:03,229 --> 03:33:00,600 actually has had because it can go 5230 03:33:05,330 --> 03:33:03,239 kilometers so it is like I mean it's 5231 03:33:07,490 --> 03:33:05,340 real there's just no question about it 5232 03:33:10,130 --> 03:33:07,500 and thank you may be physical particles 5233 03:33:14,809 --> 03:33:10,140 is absolutely real and it's even finding 5234 03:33:18,889 --> 03:33:16,130 so Kevin 5235 03:33:20,330 --> 03:33:18,899 what so Professor knuth what what about 5236 03:33:24,469 --> 03:33:20,340 2022 5237 03:33:29,510 --> 03:33:26,570 I think the most memorable thing is the 5238 03:33:33,110 --> 03:33:29,520 fact that there are now a large number 5239 03:33:34,490 --> 03:33:33,120 of scientific groups or scientists 5240 03:33:36,710 --> 03:33:34,500 groups of scientists that are studying 5241 03:33:39,889 --> 03:33:36,720 uaps and 5242 03:33:41,809 --> 03:33:39,899 and we are to some degree working 5243 03:33:43,969 --> 03:33:41,819 together we 5244 03:33:46,250 --> 03:33:43,979 you know many of us know each other and 5245 03:33:49,309 --> 03:33:46,260 and talk to each other and have you know 5246 03:33:50,990 --> 03:33:49,319 well before these groups were set up and 5247 03:33:53,269 --> 03:33:51,000 and some of us are just meeting each 5248 03:33:54,050 --> 03:33:53,279 other for the first time now so um this 5249 03:33:57,469 --> 03:33:54,060 is 5250 03:33:59,570 --> 03:33:57,479 I think they that you have uh a 5251 03:34:03,110 --> 03:33:59,580 Groundswell you have 5252 03:34:06,290 --> 03:34:03,120 a significant change and 5253 03:34:08,809 --> 03:34:06,300 this is now pretty much what I would 5254 03:34:11,090 --> 03:34:08,819 think to be unstoppable 5255 03:34:13,010 --> 03:34:11,100 um the study of these objects or 5256 03:34:14,269 --> 03:34:13,020 phenomena 5257 03:34:15,590 --> 03:34:14,279 um you know there's always a concern 5258 03:34:18,469 --> 03:34:15,600 that 5259 03:34:20,630 --> 03:34:18,479 oh the you know the US government will 5260 03:34:22,309 --> 03:34:20,640 lock down and they'll stop disclosing 5261 03:34:23,809 --> 03:34:22,319 information or you know and we keep 5262 03:34:25,610 --> 03:34:23,819 worrying about disclosure but I don't 5263 03:34:27,889 --> 03:34:25,620 think disclosure matters anymore I think 5264 03:34:30,650 --> 03:34:27,899 it it now is up to 5265 03:34:32,990 --> 03:34:30,660 up to scientists to study these things 5266 03:34:35,510 --> 03:34:33,000 is real phenomena and 5267 03:34:38,090 --> 03:34:35,520 and learn about them find out what they 5268 03:34:39,950 --> 03:34:38,100 are and how they work and I think that's 5269 03:34:41,570 --> 03:34:39,960 that's happening and it's and the number 5270 03:34:45,349 --> 03:34:41,580 of people are growing 5271 03:34:48,889 --> 03:34:45,359 our uapx team we I think we added four 5272 03:34:51,170 --> 03:34:48,899 or five new scientists this year so it's 5273 03:34:53,990 --> 03:34:51,180 um and probably going to add even more 5274 03:34:54,000 --> 03:34:59,269 congrats man 5275 03:35:05,210 --> 03:35:02,510 oh all right 5276 03:35:08,030 --> 03:35:05,220 okay let's be let's just 5277 03:35:09,349 --> 03:35:08,040 oh all right that's fine that's also an 5278 03:35:11,870 --> 03:35:09,359 option 5279 03:35:14,330 --> 03:35:11,880 so let's talk about 5280 03:35:18,889 --> 03:35:14,340 something light-hearted what what is it 5281 03:35:21,550 --> 03:35:18,899 that you do Kevin for just for fun and 5282 03:35:23,630 --> 03:35:21,560 and same Bernardo and Tony I'm curious 5283 03:35:26,030 --> 03:35:23,640 for fun 5284 03:35:28,790 --> 03:35:26,040 yeah that has nothing to do because 5285 03:35:30,469 --> 03:35:28,800 often we'll say well yeah we can there 5286 03:35:33,110 --> 03:35:30,479 are many hobbies that we do 5287 03:35:34,010 --> 03:35:33,120 to disengage but the point was in order 5288 03:35:38,389 --> 03:35:34,020 to 5289 03:35:40,190 --> 03:35:38,399 well that's like we're taking time off 5290 03:35:42,910 --> 03:35:40,200 work in order to work so I'm not 5291 03:35:45,950 --> 03:35:42,920 counting that just your vices 5292 03:35:48,830 --> 03:35:45,960 right oh I see 5293 03:35:53,269 --> 03:35:48,840 um I love I like to 5294 03:35:55,190 --> 03:35:53,279 uh restore and identify ancient coins 5295 03:35:57,050 --> 03:35:55,200 like Roman coins and Greek coins that's 5296 03:35:58,610 --> 03:35:57,060 a hobby that I have that's 5297 03:36:01,030 --> 03:35:58,620 relaxing 5298 03:36:05,090 --> 03:36:01,040 and collecting them too like like 5299 03:36:07,130 --> 03:36:05,100 collect them and yeah I typically 5300 03:36:10,370 --> 03:36:07,140 um get unclean ones so they're horribly 5301 03:36:12,769 --> 03:36:10,380 dirty with 2 000 years of crud on them 5302 03:36:15,889 --> 03:36:12,779 and and then you work to clean them and 5303 03:36:18,710 --> 03:36:15,899 restore them and and find that 5304 03:36:20,929 --> 03:36:18,720 relaxing and fun and it's fun when you 5305 03:36:22,790 --> 03:36:20,939 you know realize that you could actually 5306 03:36:25,849 --> 03:36:22,800 figure out what the coin is where it's 5307 03:36:27,769 --> 03:36:25,859 from who who's on it and all of this and 5308 03:36:30,469 --> 03:36:27,779 then then actually doing so is also fun 5309 03:36:32,450 --> 03:36:30,479 it's a bit of detective work so that's a 5310 03:36:34,429 --> 03:36:32,460 fun thing that I do 5311 03:36:35,809 --> 03:36:34,439 yeah the other thing is I do is I'm 5312 03:36:39,889 --> 03:36:35,819 working to build 5313 03:36:43,309 --> 03:36:39,899 um my own astromeicroid like a large 5314 03:36:47,870 --> 03:36:43,319 life size if you will R2D2 like building 5315 03:36:50,210 --> 03:36:47,880 my own oh Droid Droid so so I work on 5316 03:36:52,910 --> 03:36:50,220 him as well and so 5317 03:36:54,830 --> 03:36:52,920 do you like the Mandalorian or any of 5318 03:36:57,290 --> 03:36:54,840 the new Star Wars shows on Disney oh and 5319 03:37:02,150 --> 03:36:57,300 it was fantastic I Thought I Loved I 5320 03:37:07,610 --> 03:37:04,550 Tony what's your answer 5321 03:37:11,510 --> 03:37:07,620 uh I think um I love this idea of trying 5322 03:37:13,070 --> 03:37:11,520 to I just turned 60 in October and I'm I 5323 03:37:14,809 --> 03:37:13,080 guess we all go through the space where 5324 03:37:16,790 --> 03:37:14,819 we want to kind of document our life for 5325 03:37:19,130 --> 03:37:16,800 our children I do because when I was 5326 03:37:20,929 --> 03:37:19,140 growing up my parents weren't very like 5327 03:37:22,550 --> 03:37:20,939 they were very Elusive and I didn't 5328 03:37:25,070 --> 03:37:22,560 learn anything about some of their past 5329 03:37:26,450 --> 03:37:25,080 and feel like late in life so I'm 5330 03:37:28,969 --> 03:37:26,460 writing this book called The Artisan 5331 03:37:30,349 --> 03:37:28,979 philosophy and it'll be out in January 5332 03:37:32,090 --> 03:37:30,359 I've been working on it for like seven 5333 03:37:35,590 --> 03:37:32,100 years and here's a picture I'll share 5334 03:37:38,710 --> 03:37:35,600 it's me on a roof in 5335 03:37:41,570 --> 03:37:38,720 1979. yeah it's getting 5336 03:37:43,130 --> 03:37:41,580 removed so I'm ready to put it in front 5337 03:37:46,790 --> 03:37:43,140 of me don't just hold it over your body 5338 03:37:49,130 --> 03:37:46,800 yeah here we go it's more like a a 5339 03:37:51,530 --> 03:37:49,140 picture book of um 5340 03:37:54,229 --> 03:37:51,540 you know of the past and some of the 5341 03:37:54,840 --> 03:37:54,239 history local history and uh then it 5342 03:37:55,550 --> 03:37:54,850 goes into 5343 03:37:56,570 --> 03:37:55,560 [Music] 5344 03:38:00,889 --> 03:37:56,580 um 5345 03:38:04,130 --> 03:38:00,899 how how we've lost the uh the uh idea of 5346 03:38:06,229 --> 03:38:04,140 mentorship and apprenticeships and how 5347 03:38:07,729 --> 03:38:06,239 you know people I think if have a 5348 03:38:10,370 --> 03:38:07,739 certain skill level when they get my age 5349 03:38:13,429 --> 03:38:10,380 let's just start mentoring young younger 5350 03:38:14,690 --> 03:38:13,439 people and inspiring them to become you 5351 03:38:16,849 --> 03:38:14,700 know 5352 03:38:20,690 --> 03:38:16,859 that they can become successful and 5353 03:38:22,550 --> 03:38:20,700 happy and just normal jobs you know I 5354 03:38:24,410 --> 03:38:22,560 started off as a child playing with 5355 03:38:26,809 --> 03:38:24,420 talking trucks and now I'm a design 5356 03:38:28,190 --> 03:38:26,819 build contractor and I'm very happy so 5357 03:38:29,630 --> 03:38:28,200 I'm just trying to learn how to write 5358 03:38:32,929 --> 03:38:29,640 it's kind of funny you mentioned chat 5359 03:38:34,610 --> 03:38:32,939 GPT earlier I took a couple of 5360 03:38:36,889 --> 03:38:34,620 paragraphs of my book and put it in 5361 03:38:41,030 --> 03:38:36,899 there and it slaughtered it and so now 5362 03:38:42,769 --> 03:38:41,040 I'm all worried that I'm concerned about 5363 03:38:45,110 --> 03:38:42,779 it anyway I was just kind of kidding 5364 03:38:47,030 --> 03:38:45,120 around about that but yeah I'm trying to 5365 03:38:49,190 --> 03:38:47,040 learn how to write to be honest with you 5366 03:38:51,290 --> 03:38:49,200 that's a hobby turn to learn how to 5367 03:38:52,910 --> 03:38:51,300 write yeah I'm trying to I'm writing 5368 03:38:57,940 --> 03:38:52,920 this book and I'm not a very good writer 5369 03:39:05,389 --> 03:39:00,790 [Music] 5370 03:39:07,429 --> 03:39:05,399 I love building 8-bit computers from 5371 03:39:09,590 --> 03:39:07,439 scratch 5372 03:39:12,229 --> 03:39:09,600 yeah I do about one a year 5373 03:39:14,690 --> 03:39:12,239 open source so it gets picked up by 5374 03:39:16,610 --> 03:39:14,700 companies and the latest one was just 5375 03:39:18,650 --> 03:39:16,620 picked up by a company from Eastern 5376 03:39:19,550 --> 03:39:18,660 Europe called olimax they are selling it 5377 03:39:22,070 --> 03:39:19,560 now 5378 03:39:23,290 --> 03:39:22,080 I restore very old compute actually I 5379 03:39:27,349 --> 03:39:23,300 can show you 5380 03:39:28,729 --> 03:39:27,359 uh let me see if I if it will work do 5381 03:39:30,410 --> 03:39:28,739 you see a computer more or less in the 5382 03:39:31,690 --> 03:39:30,420 center of the screen right now in the 5383 03:39:36,590 --> 03:39:31,700 shadow 5384 03:39:39,410 --> 03:39:36,600 that is a q1 computer 5385 03:39:41,530 --> 03:39:39,420 it's the q1s were the first 5386 03:39:44,090 --> 03:39:41,540 microcomputers in other words 5387 03:39:46,130 --> 03:39:44,100 self-contained Computing systems with a 5388 03:39:49,250 --> 03:39:46,140 microprocessor inside they came out in 5389 03:39:52,070 --> 03:39:49,260 December of 72 and there are three or 5390 03:39:55,729 --> 03:39:52,080 four surviving units one of them you'd 5391 03:39:58,190 --> 03:39:55,739 have just seen and I am reverse 5392 03:40:01,130 --> 03:39:58,200 engineering documenting and restoring it 5393 03:40:03,410 --> 03:40:01,140 in a collaboration across three museums 5394 03:40:05,269 --> 03:40:03,420 one in Sweden one in Germany one here in 5395 03:40:06,650 --> 03:40:05,279 the Netherlands I I volunteer for the 5396 03:40:09,710 --> 03:40:06,660 one in the Netherlands 5397 03:40:11,809 --> 03:40:09,720 and um and this year I'm building 5398 03:40:15,650 --> 03:40:11,819 um a mini computer 5399 03:40:17,630 --> 03:40:15,660 using now those Old 74 logic chips which 5400 03:40:19,849 --> 03:40:17,640 are like the little building blocks of 5401 03:40:21,530 --> 03:40:19,859 the original I I can show you but I I 5402 03:40:24,050 --> 03:40:21,540 have I have to go to my workbench back 5403 03:40:26,570 --> 03:40:24,060 here to pick it up but um it has 5404 03:40:28,510 --> 03:40:26,580 hundreds of chips four different cards 5405 03:40:30,710 --> 03:40:28,520 just for fun 5406 03:40:35,530 --> 03:40:30,720 I'll turn off my camera for a second 5407 03:40:40,729 --> 03:40:38,030 all right I'm gonna let in 5408 03:40:45,729 --> 03:40:40,739 Anthony mativier 5409 03:40:51,729 --> 03:40:48,830 good to see you it's been how long 5410 03:40:54,889 --> 03:40:51,739 well definitely long 5411 03:40:58,670 --> 03:40:54,899 longer than short that's for sure 5412 03:41:01,130 --> 03:40:58,680 so I'm gonna place the links to your 5413 03:41:03,550 --> 03:41:01,140 memory detective in the in the 5414 03:41:06,650 --> 03:41:03,560 description and just for people 5415 03:41:08,210 --> 03:41:06,660 Anthony's a memory expert so if you have 5416 03:41:10,370 --> 03:41:08,220 any questions about how do you increase 5417 03:41:12,170 --> 03:41:10,380 your memory or you want to memorize some 5418 03:41:14,929 --> 03:41:12,180 set of facts or some 5419 03:41:16,969 --> 03:41:14,939 I don't know a ritual whatever it is you 5420 03:41:18,469 --> 03:41:16,979 can you can place those questions I will 5421 03:41:21,050 --> 03:41:18,479 help you stick it 5422 03:41:24,050 --> 03:41:21,060 I need that great okay Bernardo 5423 03:41:26,870 --> 03:41:24,060 sorry this one I just finished the 5424 03:41:28,969 --> 03:41:26,880 computer has five boards 5425 03:41:31,010 --> 03:41:28,979 this is the control board it's the most 5426 03:41:34,370 --> 03:41:31,020 important one 5427 03:41:37,450 --> 03:41:34,380 I just finished two days ago 5428 03:41:41,330 --> 03:41:37,460 then this is the addressing logic board 5429 03:41:45,469 --> 03:41:41,340 here yeah cool cool 5430 03:41:48,370 --> 03:41:45,479 and then oops oh no oh shoot oh I'm 5431 03:41:51,590 --> 03:41:48,380 sorry Bernardo dude 5432 03:41:55,070 --> 03:41:51,600 good job that's a good one man and the 5433 03:41:58,610 --> 03:41:55,080 final one the ALU board so this is what 5434 03:42:01,490 --> 03:41:58,620 I've been doing for fun 5435 03:42:03,229 --> 03:42:01,500 great man 5436 03:42:04,849 --> 03:42:03,239 okay well we'll talk after Bernardo 5437 03:42:06,229 --> 03:42:04,859 because I need some I have some 5438 03:42:08,510 --> 03:42:06,239 questions about that no that's it it's 5439 03:42:11,269 --> 03:42:08,520 just an old-fashioned mini computer with 5440 03:42:13,490 --> 03:42:11,279 a custom risk CPU that's and everything 5441 03:42:16,010 --> 03:42:13,500 that you do that's for fun is something 5442 03:42:17,690 --> 03:42:16,020 I consider that to be cerebral maybe you 5443 03:42:19,309 --> 03:42:17,700 consider that to be more bodily because 5444 03:42:21,110 --> 03:42:19,319 you're now like a carpenter where you 5445 03:42:23,510 --> 03:42:21,120 can you don't have to think much as 5446 03:42:25,070 --> 03:42:23,520 you're creating it yeah I can I can 5447 03:42:27,349 --> 03:42:25,080 measure the signal with an oscilloscope 5448 03:42:30,290 --> 03:42:27,359 I see what it is I use a Multimeter I 5449 03:42:31,250 --> 03:42:30,300 probe and I see and I and and the 5450 03:42:33,050 --> 03:42:31,260 wonderful thing about Computer 5451 03:42:36,710 --> 03:42:33,060 Engineering which we don't have in 5452 03:42:38,990 --> 03:42:36,720 philosophy yet is that your is 5453 03:42:41,990 --> 03:42:39,000 short-lived if you do something wrong it 5454 03:42:44,870 --> 03:42:42,000 doesn't work that's it it's the end of 5455 03:42:47,150 --> 03:42:44,880 that story one philosophy people insist 5456 03:42:51,250 --> 03:42:47,160 on their for an entire career 5457 03:42:54,229 --> 03:42:51,260 because there is no immediate and and in 5458 03:42:57,530 --> 03:42:54,239 controversial way to just say this is 5459 03:43:00,050 --> 03:42:57,540 nonsense stop it move on abandon it it 5460 03:43:01,849 --> 03:43:00,060 doesn't work and and and computer 5461 03:43:05,889 --> 03:43:01,859 engineering is very grounding for a 5462 03:43:11,510 --> 03:43:09,769 so Christina has to get going in just a 5463 03:43:14,210 --> 03:43:11,520 few moments Christina I want to say 5464 03:43:16,550 --> 03:43:14,220 thank you so much for for being here and 5465 03:43:18,769 --> 03:43:16,560 co-hosting a bit 5466 03:43:20,750 --> 03:43:18,779 thank you so much for the opportunity to 5467 03:43:22,670 --> 03:43:20,760 be and to help you co-host as well that 5468 03:43:26,150 --> 03:43:22,680 I think that's a it's off my bucket list 5469 03:43:28,790 --> 03:43:26,160 of things to do but but thank you 5470 03:43:31,490 --> 03:43:28,800 um for bringing so many Brilliant Minds 5471 03:43:33,469 --> 03:43:31,500 in this eight hour show which again is 5472 03:43:35,809 --> 03:43:33,479 insane like that that's a lot of 5473 03:43:38,210 --> 03:43:35,819 dedication right there but I am so 5474 03:43:40,490 --> 03:43:38,220 grateful to to be a part of it so thank 5475 03:43:43,130 --> 03:43:40,500 you so much um for those that are 5476 03:43:46,429 --> 03:43:43,140 interested you can find me on YouTube at 5477 03:43:49,429 --> 03:43:46,439 Christina Gomez no h or on my website at 5478 03:43:52,010 --> 03:43:49,439 strangeparadigms.com 5479 03:43:54,410 --> 03:43:52,020 thank you and the links to all that will 5480 03:43:55,969 --> 03:43:54,420 be in the description okay now Anthony 5481 03:43:57,889 --> 03:43:55,979 you just came in please introduce 5482 03:44:00,110 --> 03:43:57,899 yourself if you don't mind 5483 03:44:01,910 --> 03:44:00,120 I'm so bad at introducing myself because 5484 03:44:04,370 --> 03:44:01,920 I'm the guy who's working on having no 5485 03:44:06,349 --> 03:44:04,380 self as scientifically and 5486 03:44:08,929 --> 03:44:06,359 philosophically as possible 5487 03:44:11,030 --> 03:44:08,939 because uh to sort of follow on what 5488 03:44:12,650 --> 03:44:11,040 Bernardo just said there I think that's 5489 03:44:16,130 --> 03:44:12,660 absolutely right but the thing about 5490 03:44:17,690 --> 03:44:16,140 philosophy at least as I construct it 5491 03:44:19,790 --> 03:44:17,700 or have learned to construct it probably 5492 03:44:21,889 --> 03:44:19,800 better said is it's the thing that we do 5493 03:44:23,750 --> 03:44:21,899 when we don't have science and a lot of 5494 03:44:26,030 --> 03:44:23,760 philosophers just kind of forget that is 5495 03:44:27,830 --> 03:44:26,040 that you know there's things that 5496 03:44:30,290 --> 03:44:27,840 science can do and then it doesn't need 5497 03:44:34,910 --> 03:44:30,300 to be philosophized about anymore so to 5498 03:44:37,670 --> 03:44:34,920 speak so anyway I try to in my work uh 5499 03:44:40,130 --> 03:44:37,680 do that sort of analysis like where is 5500 03:44:43,190 --> 03:44:40,140 the memory philosophy where's the memory 5501 03:44:45,229 --> 03:44:43,200 science where is some sort of absence of 5502 03:44:47,809 --> 03:44:45,239 the scientific answer for what memory is 5503 03:44:50,750 --> 03:44:47,819 useful to us where is it that you know 5504 03:44:52,610 --> 03:44:50,760 we could draw some things from rituals 5505 03:44:54,830 --> 03:44:52,620 as you mentioned when you were saying I 5506 03:44:57,110 --> 03:44:54,840 could help you memorize a ritual like 5507 03:44:59,570 --> 03:44:57,120 where might that be useful and how can 5508 03:45:02,210 --> 03:44:59,580 we get the best of all these possible 5509 03:45:04,309 --> 03:45:02,220 worlds expand our working memory so that 5510 03:45:07,309 --> 03:45:04,319 in the present moment we could actually 5511 03:45:10,010 --> 03:45:07,319 juggle as much as possible know our 5512 03:45:12,229 --> 03:45:10,020 memory biases and whatever other biases 5513 03:45:14,210 --> 03:45:12,239 that there are out there and uh or in 5514 03:45:17,030 --> 03:45:14,220 there as the case may be and you know 5515 03:45:19,910 --> 03:45:17,040 live the best possible life because of 5516 03:45:21,790 --> 03:45:19,920 working on our memory with a deep 5517 03:45:24,769 --> 03:45:21,800 what should I say metacognitive 5518 03:45:27,050 --> 03:45:24,779 awareness of what this thing is that's 5519 03:45:28,790 --> 03:45:27,060 running the different engines if there 5520 03:45:31,849 --> 03:45:28,800 is such a thing and that's what I work 5521 03:45:34,250 --> 03:45:31,859 on and it's just a blast all the time 5522 03:45:36,889 --> 03:45:34,260 so is that an introduction I don't know 5523 03:45:38,809 --> 03:45:36,899 that's wonderful that's wonderful and 5524 03:45:40,070 --> 03:45:38,819 Jack and and so Jack I know that you're 5525 03:45:42,110 --> 03:45:40,080 just here watching but please if you 5526 03:45:44,570 --> 03:45:42,120 have any questions well I actually do it 5527 03:45:45,830 --> 03:45:44,580 for Anthony yeah I was just yeah sorry I 5528 03:45:48,050 --> 03:45:45,840 just popped up 5529 03:45:50,929 --> 03:45:48,060 um so 5530 03:45:53,929 --> 03:45:50,939 um it's about memory and I heard John 5531 03:45:56,090 --> 03:45:53,939 profaky oh I sadly missed because I was 5532 03:45:57,650 --> 03:45:56,100 here later than he was yeah I think he 5533 03:46:00,110 --> 03:45:57,660 said something along the lines that we 5534 03:46:00,710 --> 03:46:00,120 do not have um 5535 03:46:03,469 --> 03:46:00,720 um 5536 03:46:05,809 --> 03:46:03,479 there we have the memories is fallible 5537 03:46:08,330 --> 03:46:05,819 that we do not have an exact copy of 5538 03:46:09,889 --> 03:46:08,340 what's happened and that memory is tool 5539 03:46:12,590 --> 03:46:09,899 to predict the future not to accurately 5540 03:46:15,050 --> 03:46:12,600 describe the post is there something you 5541 03:46:17,090 --> 03:46:15,060 can do you seem to be agreeing with me 5542 03:46:20,809 --> 03:46:17,100 already or 5543 03:46:22,849 --> 03:46:20,819 yeah well I mean the the starting Gambit 5544 03:46:25,070 --> 03:46:22,859 is the most 5545 03:46:26,450 --> 03:46:25,080 interesting recent memory science to me 5546 03:46:28,429 --> 03:46:26,460 they want to get rid of the word memory 5547 03:46:30,349 --> 03:46:28,439 it's not sufficient to the Cause right 5548 03:46:33,950 --> 03:46:30,359 there's too much like intrapersonal 5549 03:46:36,590 --> 03:46:33,960 stuff going on and when you mention for 5550 03:46:37,729 --> 03:46:36,600 Becky you know or however I didn't know 5551 03:46:39,229 --> 03:46:37,739 how to pronounce it properly but that's 5552 03:46:40,849 --> 03:46:39,239 already the interesting thing right 5553 03:46:42,170 --> 03:46:40,859 there's so many people pronouncing it 5554 03:46:44,090 --> 03:46:42,180 differently and that says that the 5555 03:46:46,250 --> 03:46:44,100 memory of that guy is not just in my 5556 03:46:47,510 --> 03:46:46,260 head it's in all kinds of heads and then 5557 03:46:49,550 --> 03:46:47,520 we can figure out who we're talking 5558 03:46:51,349 --> 03:46:49,560 about when there's name pronunciation 5559 03:46:54,010 --> 03:46:51,359 stuff so 5560 03:46:56,630 --> 03:46:54,020 memory is just so many different things 5561 03:47:00,170 --> 03:46:56,640 we're Shifting the ways that we talk 5562 03:47:01,490 --> 03:47:00,180 about it as we talk about it and that 5563 03:47:02,929 --> 03:47:01,500 makes my work so exciting because 5564 03:47:05,050 --> 03:47:02,939 sometimes people are saying well I need 5565 03:47:08,090 --> 03:47:05,060 help with this and they're talking about 5566 03:47:10,910 --> 03:47:08,100 semantic memory where semantic memory 5567 03:47:12,769 --> 03:47:10,920 meets I don't know procedural memory or 5568 03:47:14,809 --> 03:47:12,779 other times they're talking about things 5569 03:47:16,790 --> 03:47:14,819 that really aren't memory issues but 5570 03:47:18,769 --> 03:47:16,800 because in their minds they think oh the 5571 03:47:20,690 --> 03:47:18,779 memory guy must be able to talk about 5572 03:47:23,210 --> 03:47:20,700 this really what they're talking about 5573 03:47:25,309 --> 03:47:23,220 is something that maybe touches memory 5574 03:47:26,630 --> 03:47:25,319 because what doesn't but you know I I 5575 03:47:28,969 --> 03:47:26,640 and I just say to them you know that's 5576 03:47:31,370 --> 03:47:28,979 not really a memory issue that's maybe 5577 03:47:33,650 --> 03:47:31,380 something where you got to go and see a 5578 03:47:36,050 --> 03:47:33,660 doctor that was just you know a thing I 5579 03:47:39,349 --> 03:47:36,060 have to do more often than not so I 5580 03:47:42,050 --> 03:47:39,359 didn't hear what uh was said earlier but 5581 03:47:44,090 --> 03:47:42,060 I do think that some of the recent 5582 03:47:46,910 --> 03:47:44,100 memory science is on to something when 5583 03:47:49,790 --> 03:47:46,920 they said we need a better term or a 5584 03:47:51,889 --> 03:47:49,800 broader constellation of terms because 5585 03:47:55,610 --> 03:47:51,899 the word memory is not sufficient to the 5586 03:47:56,990 --> 03:47:55,620 cause of what we're trying to say about 5587 03:48:00,290 --> 03:47:57,000 retention 5588 03:48:01,849 --> 03:48:00,300 and recall essentially 5589 03:48:05,150 --> 03:48:01,859 interesting thank you and thanks for 5590 03:48:07,610 --> 03:48:05,160 being here Anthony oh thank you 5591 03:48:09,469 --> 03:48:07,620 someone wants to know Anthony can you 5592 03:48:13,610 --> 03:48:09,479 introduce memory methods because the 5593 03:48:16,190 --> 03:48:13,620 West is unacquainted and it's very niche 5594 03:48:18,650 --> 03:48:16,200 oh well I mean memory methods really 5595 03:48:21,250 --> 03:48:18,660 come down to 5596 03:48:24,110 --> 03:48:21,260 the idea that you can 5597 03:48:27,469 --> 03:48:24,120 elaborate information in a variety of 5598 03:48:31,550 --> 03:48:27,479 ways that will help it be more memorable 5599 03:48:34,429 --> 03:48:31,560 and just like in a Tai Chi or a Qigong 5600 03:48:37,130 --> 03:48:34,439 or any martial art 5601 03:48:39,250 --> 03:48:37,140 you can go as deep as you want to go in 5602 03:48:43,490 --> 03:48:39,260 terms of how can I elaborate information 5603 03:48:46,010 --> 03:48:43,500 to make it more memorable so one of the 5604 03:48:47,570 --> 03:48:46,020 key historical strategies has been what 5605 03:48:49,610 --> 03:48:47,580 some people call the Memory Palace you 5606 03:48:51,710 --> 03:48:49,620 can call it the journey method you can 5607 03:48:53,929 --> 03:48:51,720 call it song lines you can call it all 5608 03:48:55,610 --> 03:48:53,939 kinds of things but the idea is is your 5609 03:48:58,429 --> 03:48:55,620 first level of elaboration when 5610 03:48:59,570 --> 03:48:58,439 information is incoming is you stick it 5611 03:49:02,389 --> 03:48:59,580 in space 5612 03:49:04,729 --> 03:49:02,399 and if you have developed these things 5613 03:49:07,969 --> 03:49:04,739 called memory palaces in advance you're 5614 03:49:10,550 --> 03:49:07,979 going to be faster at a sort of decision 5615 03:49:12,410 --> 03:49:10,560 Matrix where you're going what is that 5616 03:49:14,210 --> 03:49:12,420 information where am I going to stick it 5617 03:49:16,849 --> 03:49:14,220 and then the next level of elaboration 5618 03:49:19,550 --> 03:49:16,859 would be can I add a kinesthetic layer 5619 03:49:21,590 --> 03:49:19,560 can I add an auditory layer can I add a 5620 03:49:23,389 --> 03:49:21,600 visual layer Etc so if I just look at 5621 03:49:25,429 --> 03:49:23,399 Jack I want to remember Jack I'm 5622 03:49:27,229 --> 03:49:25,439 thinking well I know a guy named Jack 5623 03:49:28,849 --> 03:49:27,239 I'm going to think about his house I'm 5624 03:49:30,910 --> 03:49:28,859 going to have Jack Nicholson in his 5625 03:49:33,889 --> 03:49:30,920 house I'm going to hear his voice 5626 03:49:35,750 --> 03:49:33,899 rattling Batman's cage I'm gonna feel 5627 03:49:38,750 --> 03:49:35,760 that weird little thing that he had in 5628 03:49:40,910 --> 03:49:38,760 his hand in the uh Batman movie with 5629 03:49:44,210 --> 03:49:40,920 that Tim Burton made right and I'm gonna 5630 03:49:46,309 --> 03:49:44,220 think of the concept of crime genre meet 5631 03:49:48,410 --> 03:49:46,319 superhero and all this stuff right I'm 5632 03:49:51,050 --> 03:49:48,420 just elaborating it this is this happens 5633 03:49:53,210 --> 03:49:51,060 a lot faster in the memory Champion's 5634 03:49:56,090 --> 03:49:53,220 head than it does uh to speak it out 5635 03:49:58,070 --> 03:49:56,100 loud but I'm not gonna forget Jack right 5636 03:50:00,650 --> 03:49:58,080 I can do that with mega stone toppo 5637 03:50:05,090 --> 03:50:00,660 cementa garcori just as easily as I can 5638 03:50:06,889 --> 03:50:05,100 do it with a string of digits Etc and uh 5639 03:50:09,110 --> 03:50:06,899 some of us get really nerdy about it I 5640 03:50:11,870 --> 03:50:09,120 just interviewed yesterday John Graham 5641 03:50:14,030 --> 03:50:11,880 who won the 2022 memory championship USA 5642 03:50:16,130 --> 03:50:14,040 memory champion chip and he had won the 5643 03:50:18,170 --> 03:50:16,140 2018 memory Championship I don't know 5644 03:50:20,630 --> 03:50:18,180 exactly how it happens but he said that 5645 03:50:23,090 --> 03:50:20,640 I was his mentor on that first win and 5646 03:50:24,530 --> 03:50:23,100 uh he's just an amazing guy and all that 5647 03:50:26,690 --> 03:50:24,540 stuff that I just said about feeling the 5648 03:50:29,090 --> 03:50:26,700 buzzer in the Tim Burton movie and all 5649 03:50:30,410 --> 03:50:29,100 that stuff he's like dude you explain it 5650 03:50:32,090 --> 03:50:30,420 better than I ever could but that's 5651 03:50:34,190 --> 03:50:32,100 exactly what happens when I sit there 5652 03:50:34,849 --> 03:50:34,200 and win these competitions and I was 5653 03:50:36,950 --> 03:50:34,859 like 5654 03:50:39,110 --> 03:50:36,960 good I guess I'm doing my work properly 5655 03:50:41,090 --> 03:50:39,120 then but you know it's coaching effect 5656 03:50:42,530 --> 03:50:41,100 right sometimes the coaches can 5657 03:50:46,070 --> 03:50:42,540 enunciate 5658 03:50:48,050 --> 03:50:46,080 better than the the star athletes which 5659 03:50:50,030 --> 03:50:48,060 you know I've competed and I've done 5660 03:50:52,250 --> 03:50:50,040 okay but uh I can't do as well as he 5661 03:50:53,630 --> 03:50:52,260 does but I can he says I can explain it 5662 03:50:55,550 --> 03:50:53,640 better than you can still it's a win 5663 03:50:56,269 --> 03:50:55,560 without conducted yesterday it's on your 5664 03:50:59,150 --> 03:50:56,279 Channel 5665 03:51:01,010 --> 03:50:59,160 sorry no I just remembered yesterday I 5666 03:51:04,849 --> 03:51:01,020 just recorded it it should be next week 5667 03:51:08,990 --> 03:51:06,950 Jack but anyway yeah I mean that that's 5668 03:51:10,849 --> 03:51:09,000 the core of it we can go on into 5669 03:51:12,229 --> 03:51:10,859 how the layers of elaboration work but 5670 03:51:13,550 --> 03:51:12,239 there's also see the thing that's 5671 03:51:15,050 --> 03:51:13,560 missing in a lot of the ancient 5672 03:51:17,150 --> 03:51:15,060 tradition is a 5673 03:51:19,490 --> 03:51:17,160 uh well it's not missing it's there but 5674 03:51:21,830 --> 03:51:19,500 it's not enunciated as much as I've 5675 03:51:23,330 --> 03:51:21,840 enunciated it and the memory Champions 5676 03:51:25,130 --> 03:51:23,340 don't enunciate it because memory 5677 03:51:26,690 --> 03:51:25,140 Champions tend to memorize information 5678 03:51:29,150 --> 03:51:26,700 so they can win the prize and then they 5679 03:51:30,650 --> 03:51:29,160 forget all this stuff right so what we 5680 03:51:33,170 --> 03:51:30,660 need is 5681 03:51:35,570 --> 03:51:33,180 and what helps me and helps many of the 5682 03:51:37,910 --> 03:51:35,580 people I help is a strategy to use that 5683 03:51:39,650 --> 03:51:37,920 Mary Palace to harness Primacy effect 5684 03:51:42,650 --> 03:51:39,660 recency effects here of positioning 5685 03:51:43,729 --> 03:51:42,660 effect uh fund restaurant effect blah 5686 03:51:46,490 --> 03:51:43,739 blah blah blah there's all kinds of 5687 03:51:47,990 --> 03:51:46,500 Science words and um if you learn this 5688 03:51:51,590 --> 03:51:48,000 simple process and you use the Memory 5689 03:51:54,229 --> 03:51:51,600 Palace in several patterns then your 5690 03:51:56,389 --> 03:51:54,239 speed to getting information into 5691 03:51:58,250 --> 03:51:56,399 long-term memory is going to be faster 5692 03:52:00,010 --> 03:51:58,260 than rote learning some studies show 5693 03:52:02,710 --> 03:52:00,020 it's like 88 percent 5694 03:52:05,150 --> 03:52:02,720 retention rates as opposed to like 24 5695 03:52:06,710 --> 03:52:05,160 obviously studies can do all kinds of 5696 03:52:08,269 --> 03:52:06,720 things they never actually ask the 5697 03:52:10,849 --> 03:52:08,279 questions in the studies that I would if 5698 03:52:12,410 --> 03:52:10,859 I had the budget and uh I I one maybe 5699 03:52:13,670 --> 03:52:12,420 one day I will have a budget to do 5700 03:52:15,469 --> 03:52:13,680 studies that I think would be more 5701 03:52:16,670 --> 03:52:15,479 interesting but nonetheless the 5702 03:52:18,290 --> 03:52:16,680 retention rates when you have 5703 03:52:20,750 --> 03:52:18,300 elaboration and you have some sort of 5704 03:52:23,809 --> 03:52:20,760 recall strategy that is 5705 03:52:26,269 --> 03:52:23,819 that that that as I say harnesses or 5706 03:52:27,590 --> 03:52:26,279 optimizes things like premising and 5707 03:52:29,570 --> 03:52:27,600 recency effect 5708 03:52:31,429 --> 03:52:29,580 it just leads to higher and higher 5709 03:52:33,889 --> 03:52:31,439 retention rates and what I'm most 5710 03:52:36,229 --> 03:52:33,899 excited about is if you're applying that 5711 03:52:37,969 --> 03:52:36,239 to knowledge then you get through 5712 03:52:39,769 --> 03:52:37,979 diffuse thinking and interleaving 5713 03:52:42,769 --> 03:52:39,779 effects and all that kind of stuff you 5714 03:52:44,690 --> 03:52:42,779 get aha moments and insights the only 5715 03:52:46,790 --> 03:52:44,700 problem is is the martial art it's a 5716 03:52:49,429 --> 03:52:46,800 chess like very few people actually want 5717 03:52:51,410 --> 03:52:49,439 to show up and learn it and do it to a 5718 03:52:53,570 --> 03:52:51,420 degree that they would get those effects 5719 03:52:57,769 --> 03:52:53,580 but you know that doesn't stop people 5720 03:53:01,309 --> 03:52:57,779 from teaching chess or martial arts so 5721 03:53:04,010 --> 03:53:01,319 okay well I want to talk to you all for 5722 03:53:05,870 --> 03:53:04,020 so much longer but we have to take about 5723 03:53:08,750 --> 03:53:05,880 15 minute breaks I'm kicking you all out 5724 03:53:10,250 --> 03:53:08,760 it was lovely to see you Kevin sorry I 5725 03:53:12,410 --> 03:53:10,260 didn't get to speak to you for much 5726 03:53:13,670 --> 03:53:12,420 longer I would

forward to George and I 5826 03:57:12,530 --> 03:57:10,560 have some stuff coming out a lot of 5827 03:57:14,510 --> 03:57:12,540 stuff we've covered that we're going to 5828 03:57:18,170 --> 03:57:14,520 be able to reveal a lot more information 5829 03:57:19,849 --> 03:57:18,180 on Direct witness testimony just you're 5830 03:57:21,229 --> 03:57:19,859 gonna hear from people that you

to hear directly from those 5834 03:57:30,889 --> 03:57:28,800 individuals so I know in January that 5835 03:57:32,870 --> 03:57:30,899 the UFO subject is going to blow up 5836 03:57:36,309 --> 03:57:32,880 again because new information will be 5837 03:57:41,510 --> 03:57:39,229 this was an exciting year the end of the 5838 03:57:43,910 --> 03:57:41,520 year the signing of the ndaa and and 5839 03:57:46,010 --> 03:57:43,920 what that means uh moving forward I mean 5840 03:57:47,870 --> 03:57:46,020 it's great in a sense it's sort of uh to 5841 03:57:49,490 --> 03:57:47,880 coin the old cliche it's sort of the uh 5842 03:57:51,229 --> 03:57:49,500 the end of the beginning not the 5843 03:57:53,330 --> 03:57:51,239 beginning of the end because we're we're 5844 03:57:55,550 --> 03:57:53,340 finally as a society moving toward 5845 03:57:57,710 --> 03:57:55,560 trying to figure out are these real and 5846 03:57:59,689 --> 03:57:57,720 are genuinely asking the question and of 5847 03:58:01,849 --> 03:57:59,699 course Kurt as you have learned the 5848 03:58:04,030 --> 03:58:01,859 answer is yes they are real and now 5849 03:58:08,389 --> 03:58:04,040 maybe you know in the years to come 5850 03:58:10,309 --> 03:58:08,399 Arrow NASA uh various scientific 5851 03:58:12,469 --> 03:58:10,319 organizations that are now openly 5852 03:58:14,630 --> 03:58:12,479 interested in the topic can can it 5853 03:58:17,090 --> 03:58:14,640 address the bigger questions the really 5854 03:58:18,889 --> 03:58:17,100 important ones where are they from why 5855 03:58:20,630 --> 03:58:18,899 are they here who are they what's their 5856 03:58:23,630 --> 03:58:20,640 interest in us you know once we get 5857 03:58:26,090 --> 03:58:23,640 beyond the obvious question that that 5858 03:58:27,950 --> 03:58:26,100 our society has struggled with for 75 5859 03:58:29,809 --> 03:58:27,960 years and we can start digging into the 5860 03:58:32,330 --> 03:58:29,819 good stuff and and the tools are now in 5861 03:58:34,250 --> 03:58:32,340 place to do that uh Jeremy and I are 5862 03:58:37,130 --> 03:58:34,260 aware of some of these whistleblowers 5863 03:58:40,849 --> 03:58:37,140 who've been standing by ready to to 5864 03:58:43,370 --> 03:58:40,859 chime in and tell Congress and others uh 5865 03:58:46,790 --> 03:58:43,380 what they know and in fact we'd know 5866 03:58:49,969 --> 03:58:46,800 that some of them have already done so 5867 03:58:51,830 --> 03:58:49,979 um and when this comes out it's assuming 5868 03:58:54,349 --> 03:58:51,840 it comes out man it's going to be an 5869 03:58:57,229 --> 03:58:54,359 explosion so Kurt what what George is 5870 03:59:00,050 --> 03:58:57,239 talking about is what the The 5871 03:59:02,269 --> 03:59:00,060 Whistleblower protections laws are are 5872 03:59:05,269 --> 03:59:02,279 being implemented for we're talking 5873 03:59:07,250 --> 03:59:05,279 about reverse engineering UFOs we're 5874 03:59:09,710 --> 03:59:07,260 talking about our government physically 5875 03:59:13,189 --> 03:59:09,720 reverse engineering physical Hardware 5876 03:59:16,250 --> 03:59:13,199 that they suspect is from another world 5877 03:59:18,530 --> 03:59:16,260 so we're talking about programs that are 5878 03:59:21,170 --> 03:59:18,540 actively reverse engineering actively 5879 03:59:24,050 --> 03:59:21,180 exploiting these non-terrestrial 5880 03:59:26,330 --> 03:59:24,060 Technologies that's the claim and and 5881 03:59:29,090 --> 03:59:26,340 he's also talking about the idea that 5882 03:59:31,790 --> 03:59:29,100 people have already utilized some of 5883 03:59:35,030 --> 03:59:31,800 these internal mechanisms to establish 5884 03:59:36,650 --> 03:59:35,040 where the hardware is 5885 03:59:38,630 --> 03:59:36,660 so so this is something we have 5886 03:59:40,250 --> 03:59:38,640 knowledge of and we're hoping that this 5887 03:59:42,889 --> 03:59:40,260 gets out to the public because it is 5888 03:59:44,750 --> 03:59:42,899 happening this education is being given 5889 03:59:46,370 --> 03:59:44,760 on the inside 5890 03:59:48,710 --> 03:59:46,380 expand on that point where the hardware 5891 03:59:49,969 --> 03:59:48,720 is expand on that what do you mean I'm 5892 03:59:51,590 --> 03:59:49,979 not I'm not going to expand on that 5893 03:59:53,570 --> 03:59:51,600 right this second but this is something 5894 03:59:55,189 --> 03:59:53,580 that's being told you know within 5895 03:59:57,170 --> 03:59:55,199 Congress within the Senate intelligence 5896 03:59:59,450 --> 03:59:57,180 committee within whistleblowers coming 5897 04:00:01,849 --> 03:59:59,460 forward you know under uh IG 5898 04:00:03,830 --> 04:00:01,859 investigations they're looking into this 5899 04:00:05,750 --> 04:00:03,840 this is something that that George and I 5900 04:00:07,969 --> 04:00:05,760 know for sure is happening the people 5901 04:00:09,590 --> 04:00:07,979 involved all the mechanics of it and we 5902 04:00:11,450 --> 04:00:09,600 we hope it becomes public through the 5903 04:00:14,090 --> 04:00:11,460 through the right channels but I'm just 5904 04:00:15,590 --> 04:00:14,100 it's important for people to know it's 5905 04:00:18,769 --> 04:00:15,600 happening this is not something 5906 04:00:21,229 --> 04:00:18,779 theoretical yeah it's happening I'll 5907 04:00:23,389 --> 04:00:21,239 tell you Kurt my first foray into this 5908 04:00:25,550 --> 04:00:23,399 idea the Preposterous idea that we've 5909 04:00:28,130 --> 04:00:25,560 got craft and materials from some other 5910 04:00:30,530 --> 04:00:28,140 world some other intelligence was 33 5911 04:00:32,330 --> 04:00:30,540 years ago with Bob Bazaar and I know a 5912 04:00:35,030 --> 04:00:32,340 lot of your listeners will have problems 5913 04:00:37,370 --> 04:00:35,040 with Lazar story I don't care anymore I 5914 04:00:39,469 --> 04:00:37,380 I don't care but at the time that I 5915 04:00:42,349 --> 04:00:39,479 proposed that that and and presented 5916 04:00:44,689 --> 04:00:42,359 that information in a new series it was 5917 04:00:47,510 --> 04:00:44,699 ridiculous even among a lot of UFO folks 5918 04:00:49,130 --> 04:00:47,520 not so ridiculous anymore because what 5919 04:00:52,130 --> 04:00:49,140 Jeremy and I have reported over the last 5920 04:00:53,809 --> 04:00:52,140 couple of years is there were Legacy UFO 5921 04:00:55,910 --> 04:00:53,819 programs that have not been made public 5922 04:00:58,729 --> 04:00:55,920 there were efforts to take these 5923 04:01:00,349 --> 04:00:58,739 materials exotic materials of Unknown 5924 04:01:03,050 --> 04:01:00,359 Origin put them in the hands of 5925 04:01:04,729 --> 04:01:03,060 aerospace companies the big players and 5926 04:01:06,889 --> 04:01:04,739 try to figure out how they work and when 5927 04:01:10,429 --> 04:01:06,899 Bob Lazar had that story a long time ago 5928 04:01:13,309 --> 04:01:10,439 uh you know people uh tisk tisk and and 5929 04:01:14,450 --> 04:01:13,319 denied it and and ridiculed it now not 5930 04:01:16,130 --> 04:01:14,460 so much because some of these 5931 04:01:19,130 --> 04:01:16,140 whistleblowers were talking about 5932 04:01:21,290 --> 04:01:19,140 or appearing before Congress now have 5933 04:01:23,570 --> 04:01:21,300 already given statements are there to 5934 04:01:25,189 --> 04:01:23,580 tell them about the Legacy programs that 5935 04:01:26,990 --> 04:01:25,199 they are real that there are these 5936 04:01:28,910 --> 04:01:27,000 exotic materials that reverse 5937 04:01:32,330 --> 04:01:28,920 engineering programs have been underway 5938 04:01:34,429 --> 04:01:32,340 the big question remaining is will the 5939 04:01:36,290 --> 04:01:34,439 public get to know about this and can 5940 04:01:38,389 --> 04:01:36,300 those materials be retrieved if you hand 5941 04:01:41,030 --> 04:01:38,399 them over to say a Lockheed or a 5942 04:01:43,189 --> 04:01:41,040 Northrop or a company like that is there 5943 04:01:44,689 --> 04:01:43,199 a paper trail that says the ownership 5944 04:01:46,670 --> 04:01:44,699 should be with the American public that 5945 04:01:48,290 --> 04:01:46,680 it has to be returned and we don't know 5946 04:01:51,170 --> 04:01:48,300 these whistleblowers that we're talking 5947 04:01:53,630 --> 04:01:51,180 about know where the bodies are buried 5948 04:01:55,670 --> 04:01:53,640 literally and where the material is I 5949 04:01:56,929 --> 04:01:55,680 mean down to the building 5950 04:01:58,429 --> 04:01:56,939 um 5951 04:02:00,769 --> 04:01:58,439 you know it's going to be really 5952 04:02:03,530 --> 04:02:00,779 interesting to see if uh if congress 5953 04:02:04,910 --> 04:02:03,540 makes that information public because we 5954 04:02:06,290 --> 04:02:04,920 know that they've heard some of that 5955 04:02:07,969 --> 04:02:06,300 testimony already 5956 04:02:09,530 --> 04:02:07,979 and they've verified some of that 5957 04:02:10,910 --> 04:02:09,540 testimony we know 5958 04:02:12,170 --> 04:02:10,920 great just so you know there are a 5959 04:02:13,910 --> 04:02:12,180 couple people in the waiting room I just 5960 04:02:16,309 --> 04:02:13,920 want you all to know that I see you 5961 04:02:19,790 --> 04:02:16,319 thank you please hang on for a couple 5962 04:02:22,130 --> 04:02:19,800 more moments okay so so can you tell me 5963 04:02:24,170 --> 04:02:22,140 Jeremy and and George Well whoever wants 5964 04:02:26,630 --> 04:02:24,180 to time in what is the significance of 5965 04:02:27,650 --> 04:02:26,640 this whistleblowers act specifically for 5966 04:02:29,269 --> 04:02:27,660 people who don't know what the 5967 04:02:31,849 --> 04:02:29,279 legislation is what is it when does it 5968 04:02:33,469 --> 04:02:31,859 come into effect and why is it is it 5969 04:02:36,950 --> 04:02:33,479 groundbreaking do we feel like do you 5970 04:02:38,809 --> 04:02:36,960 think that this is just well much like 5971 04:02:40,610 --> 04:02:38,819 hey there's going to be a report coming 5972 04:02:41,510 --> 04:02:40,620 out then then the report is delayed and 5973 04:02:42,530 --> 04:02:41,520 then when it comes out you're just 5974 04:02:44,510 --> 04:02:42,540 disappointed it's going to be 5975 04:02:45,830 --> 04:02:44,520 disappointing should we get our hopes up 5976 04:02:48,110 --> 04:02:45,840 and what are we getting our hopes up for 5977 04:02:49,969 --> 04:02:48,120 several questions in there 5978 04:02:53,090 --> 04:02:49,979 just tackle them 5979 04:02:55,670 --> 04:02:53,100 go ahead Jeremy yeah I think we we both 5980 04:02:58,429 --> 04:02:55,680 have a a different perspective on it but 5981 04:03:01,070 --> 04:02:58,439 I think that we're in agreement that it 5982 04:03:03,710 --> 04:03:01,080 it is a huge invitation it's an 5983 04:03:06,349 --> 04:03:03,720 invitation and not only an invitation I 5984 04:03:08,330 --> 04:03:06,359 mean they're telling you that you need 5985 04:03:10,189 --> 04:03:08,340 to tell if there were illegal UFO 5986 04:03:13,130 --> 04:03:10,199 programs being done so this is kind of 5987 04:03:15,650 --> 04:03:13,140 like a duty so will people come forward 5988 04:03:17,689 --> 04:03:15,660 let's pretend like what Harry Reid said 5989 04:03:19,550 --> 04:03:17,699 that's from Lockheed will people come 5990 04:03:21,050 --> 04:03:19,560 forward saying I worked on reverse 5991 04:03:22,550 --> 04:03:21,060 engineering of non-terrestrial 5992 04:03:24,530 --> 04:03:22,560 Technologies well you have to be 5993 04:03:26,450 --> 04:03:24,540 motivated to do so but now they're 5994 04:03:28,429 --> 04:03:26,460 they're saying you know you need to come 5995 04:03:31,309 --> 04:03:28,439 forward so I think this is a this is a 5996 04:03:33,950 --> 04:03:31,319 big deal it's protections this is on the 5997 04:03:35,090 --> 04:03:33,960 the lines of like the church committee 5998 04:03:36,410 --> 04:03:35,100 or whatever they called it when they 5999 04:03:38,510 --> 04:03:36,420 were discovering all these things the 6000 04:03:41,570 --> 04:03:38,520 CIA was doing back you know on American 6001 04:03:43,910 --> 04:03:41,580 citizens this is that big this is big 6002 04:03:47,030 --> 04:03:43,920 enough that people have already come 6003 04:03:48,229 --> 04:03:47,040 forward now this is in the mechanisms of 6004 04:03:49,910 --> 04:03:48,239 government that are going to keep it 6005 04:03:52,010 --> 04:03:49,920 within the intelligence communities but 6006 04:03:54,050 --> 04:03:52,020 but some people are going to come 6007 04:03:56,330 --> 04:03:54,060 forward publicly and we know this for 6008 04:03:58,610 --> 04:03:56,340 sure so I I think this is a huge deal 6009 04:04:00,410 --> 04:03:58,620 we've never seen this kind of thing for 6010 04:04:02,150 --> 04:04:00,420 the UFO topic this type of 6011 04:04:04,550 --> 04:04:02,160 acknowledgment and I think someone like 6012 04:04:07,790 --> 04:04:04,560 George who's been seeing this for 35 6013 04:04:10,370 --> 04:04:07,800 years or however many years now this is 6014 04:04:12,710 --> 04:04:10,380 unprecedented so I'm an optimist I'm 6015 04:04:14,809 --> 04:04:12,720 super excited I think you know we're 6016 04:04:17,510 --> 04:04:14,819 kicking the doors down but 6017 04:04:20,090 --> 04:04:17,520 I am the pacifist I'm the glass is half 6018 04:04:21,950 --> 04:04:20,100 empty if there is a way to bury this if 6019 04:04:23,809 --> 04:04:21,960 there's a way to keep a secret they'll 6020 04:04:25,969 --> 04:04:23,819 find it and we're already seeing some of 6021 04:04:27,710 --> 04:04:25,979 that kind of pushback Kurt you saw this 6022 04:04:29,990 --> 04:04:27,720 recent Wall Street Journal article there 6023 04:04:31,729 --> 04:04:30,000 was a New York Times pre-bunking piece 6024 04:04:33,590 --> 04:04:31,739 that came out in advance of the report 6025 04:04:35,210 --> 04:04:33,600 which wasn't even written at the time 6026 04:04:37,309 --> 04:04:35,220 that said oh yeah this is all 6027 04:04:38,809 --> 04:04:37,319 explainable that's exactly what I've 6028 04:04:40,929 --> 04:04:38,819 expected for a long time and I think 6029 04:04:43,670 --> 04:04:40,939 we're going to see more of it the closer 6030 04:04:46,550 --> 04:04:43,680 Congress and the public get to answers 6031 04:04:49,189 --> 04:04:46,560 the closer we get to actually seeing or 6032 04:04:51,889 --> 04:04:49,199 learning about the goodies The Meta 6033 04:04:54,769 --> 04:04:51,899 materials pieces of scrap metal of 6034 04:04:56,689 --> 04:04:54,779 Unknown Origin craft maybe bodies the 6035 04:04:58,490 --> 04:04:56,699 harder the pushback is going to be if I 6036 04:05:00,110 --> 04:04:58,500 were Lockheed and I had this stuff I 6037 04:05:02,750 --> 04:05:00,120 wouldn't give it back to us what you're 6038 04:05:04,610 --> 04:05:02,760 seeing is a significant pushback already 6039 04:05:06,290 --> 04:05:04,620 by the Department of Defense at the same 6040 04:05:08,210 --> 04:05:06,300 time they're speaking out of this side 6041 04:05:10,429 --> 04:05:08,220 of their mouth saying oh yeah we're all 6042 04:05:12,469 --> 04:05:10,439 about transparency behind the scenes 6043 04:05:14,150 --> 04:05:12,479 they're feeding this disinformation to 6044 04:05:16,490 --> 04:05:14,160 people like that reporter at the New 6045 04:05:18,410 --> 04:05:16,500 York Times who kind of try to dismiss it 6046 04:05:20,809 --> 04:05:18,420 I will bet you Kurt that you have had 6047 04:05:24,650 --> 04:05:20,819 pushback yourself for the fact that you 6048 04:05:26,689 --> 04:05:24,660 even dare to tackle this topic in a in a 6049 04:05:28,790 --> 04:05:26,699 very curious way that you would even 6050 04:05:30,469 --> 04:05:28,800 dare ask the questions I'm sure your 6051 04:05:31,969 --> 04:05:30,479 colleagues have given you crap about it 6052 04:05:33,830 --> 04:05:31,979 and there's going to be a lot more of 6053 04:05:35,870 --> 04:05:33,840 that the closer we get to the goodie so 6054 04:05:37,790 --> 04:05:35,880 if they can find a way to bury it and 6055 04:05:39,769 --> 04:05:37,800 hide it they'll continue to do that you 6056 04:05:41,269 --> 04:05:39,779 look at the U.S Air Force they got more 6057 04:05:43,250 --> 04:05:41,279 information on the subject matter than 6058 04:05:44,630 --> 04:05:43,260 anyone and there's nowhere they don't 6059 04:05:46,550 --> 04:05:44,640 have a seat at the table they're not 6060 04:05:48,349 --> 04:05:46,560 showing up giving statements they're not 6061 04:05:50,269 --> 04:05:48,359 making press releases they haven't shown 6062 04:05:51,349 --> 04:05:50,279 up at any of the key Rings where are 6063 04:05:54,830 --> 04:05:51,359 they 6064 04:05:56,150 --> 04:05:54,840 easily so I'll believe it when I see it 6065 04:05:58,490 --> 04:05:56,160 I'm hopeful 6066 04:06:02,150 --> 04:05:58,500 in a sense but I'll believe it when I 6067 04:06:04,370 --> 04:06:02,160 see it yet people continuously and with 6068 04:06:06,710 --> 04:06:04,380 increased frequency come forward to 6069 04:06:08,870 --> 04:06:06,720

--> 04:07:05,880 that is still an active website it's a 6092 04:07:10,130 --> 04:07:07,680 repository of all the stories that I've 6093 04:07:12,290 --> 04:07:10,140 put together for 30 plus years including 6094 04:07:13,969 --> 04:07:12,300 interviews you know uh yesterday marked 6095 04:07:16,550 --> 04:07:13,979 the one year anniversary since the death 6096 04:07:19,010 --> 04:07:16,560 of Harry Reid five years ago this month 6097 04:07:21,290 --> 04:07:19,020 he got things started by talking to the 6098 04:07:23,689 --> 04:07:21,300 New York Times about what a program at 6099 04:07:26,210 --> 04:07:23,699 that time they called atip there's still 6100 04:07:28,610 --> 04:07:26,220 a lot of misinformation out there a lot 6101 04:07:30,110 --> 04:07:28,620 of things that have been made murky I 6102 04:07:31,790 --> 04:07:30,120 think on purpose but all those 6103 04:07:34,189 --> 04:07:31,800 interviews that we did with Harry Reid 6104 04:07:36,050 --> 04:07:34,199 with

04:08:02,580 Ancient Aliens and the secret of 6119 04:08:07,070 --> 04:08:05,100 Skinwalker Ranch in their release radius 6120 04:08:10,490 --> 04:08:07,080 Technologies bragged about these two 6121 04:08:12,349 --> 04:08:10,500 guys for their UFO work uh Jay Stratton 6122 04:08:14,809 --> 04:08:12,359 had been the head of the UAP task force 6123 04:08:16,490 --> 04:08:14,819 he'd been part of atip and OSAP as well 6124 04:08:18,590 --> 04:08:16,500 and they when they put out a release 6125 04:08:20,630 --> 04:08:18,600 about his hiring they bragged about it I 6126 04:08:22,790 --> 04:08:20,640 think that is a major step for private 6127 04:08:24,650 --> 04:08:22,800 contractors defense contractors to go 6128 04:08:26,269 --> 04:08:24,660 ahead and say yeah we're interested in 6129 04:08:27,769 --> 04:08:26,279 this in fact not only are we interested 6130 04:08:29,929 --> 04:08:27,779 in it we'd like to get some contracts 6131 04:08:31,370 --> 04:08:29,939 for it big step for industry to make 6132 04:08:33,410 --> 04:08:31,380 that and I I just wanted to mention 6133 04:08:35,990 --> 04:08:33,420 that's a pretty good story that I think 6134 04:08:39,110 --> 04:08:36,000 probably has fallen through the cracks 6135 04:08:41,389 --> 04:08:39,120 yeah so so a question that's coming up 6136 04:08:45,050 --> 04:08:41,399 several times on today's show is what 6137 04:08:47,389 --> 04:08:45,060 story from 2022 ignites you the most now 6138 04:08:50,210 --> 04:08:47,399 which now I'm going to rephrase that for 6139 04:08:52,130 --> 04:08:50,220 you all which story from 2022 regarding 6140 04:08:54,050 --> 04:08:52,140 this topic is most relevant to something 6141 04:08:57,349 --> 04:08:54,060 that you can't reveal now for whatever 6142 04:09:00,290 --> 04:08:57,359 reason for later so that if I want to 6143 04:09:02,750 --> 04:09:00,300 put some pieces together I can 6144 04:09:05,510 --> 04:09:02,760 yeah I mean I'd say say there everything 6145 04:09:07,490 --> 04:09:05,520 George and I have reported on we've dug 6146 04:09:08,990 --> 04:09:07,500 really deep and we've really vetted 6147 04:09:10,849 --> 04:09:09,000 people and and now we're at a place 6148 04:09:16,070 --> 04:09:10,859 where we can bring stuff forward so I 6149 04:09:19,309 --> 04:09:16,080 think the 2019 swarms over the USS Omaha 6150 04:09:21,469 --> 04:09:19,319 USS Russell actually 10 Navy warships we 6151 04:09:23,510 --> 04:09:21,479 initially reported on that like what our 6152 04:09:25,670 --> 04:09:23,520 government said we obtained and released 6153 04:09:27,950 --> 04:09:25,680 information that was confined within 6154 04:09:29,570 --> 04:09:27,960 classified files originally but we were 6155 04:09:32,030 --> 04:09:29,580 able to get out the unclassified parts 6156 04:09:34,610 --> 04:09:32,040 and that story is going to open up 6157 04:09:37,429 --> 04:09:34,620 there's been a lot of attempts at 6158 04:09:39,469 --> 04:09:37,439 debunking it talking about how there's 6159 04:09:41,330 --> 04:09:39,479 red green and white lights well you 6160 04:09:44,090 --> 04:09:41,340 haven't heard nothing yet so I think 6161 04:09:46,849 --> 04:09:44,100 this is great I think that that story is 6162 04:09:49,729 --> 04:09:46,859 so important the one that we broke and 6163 04:09:51,650 --> 04:09:49,739 and I think the 2019 swarms it's just 6164 04:09:53,389 --> 04:09:51,660 one of many by the way that that we've 6165 04:09:55,429 --> 04:09:53,399 looked into but it's one we could 6166 04:09:57,590 --> 04:09:55,439 provide corroborative video evidence on 6167 04:09:59,030 --> 04:09:57,600 I think overall that story is a great 6168 04:10:01,370 --> 04:09:59,040 place to start we're going to learn a 6169 04:10:03,950 --> 04:10:01,380 lot more about that and I even say the 6170 04:10:06,769 --> 04:10:03,960 Bob Lazar story everything Bob said to 6171 04:10:08,870 --> 04:10:06,779 George in 1989 we are looking at it 6172 04:10:11,150 --> 04:10:08,880 through a different lens now and I think 6173 04:10:13,729 --> 04:10:11,160 there's there's more to tell on that 6174 04:10:15,349 --> 04:10:13,739 story so yeah I would I would say 6175 04:10:17,269 --> 04:10:15,359 something more that's coming is about 6176 04:10:19,189 --> 04:10:17,279 OSAP you'll recall Kurt the 6177 04:10:21,530 --> 04:10:19,199 Congressional hearing first public 6178 04:10:23,929 --> 04:10:21,540 hearing before Congress on the UFO UAP 6179 04:10:25,849 --> 04:10:23,939 Topic in 54 years and the defense 6180 04:10:28,309 --> 04:10:25,859 department was asked are there any 6181 04:10:30,710 --> 04:10:28,319 programs that existed in between blue 6182 04:10:33,349 --> 04:10:30,720 book and atip and they said nope sorry 6183 04:10:36,469 --> 04:10:33,359 nothing well that is absolutely not true 6184 04:10:39,229 --> 04:10:36,479 and a year ago we put out a book called 6185 04:10:41,570 --> 04:10:39,239 Skin Walkers at the Pentagon that had 6186 04:10:43,610 --> 04:10:41,580 details about the OSAP program it was a 6187 04:10:45,469 --> 04:10:43,620 predecessor to atip it's the one that 6188 04:10:47,990 --> 04:10:45,479 got 22 million dollars that went to 6189 04:10:50,570 --> 04:10:48,000 Robert Bigelow's bass organization they 6190 04:10:52,790 --> 04:10:50,580 created the largest UFO database in the 6191 04:10:55,070 --> 04:10:52,800 history of the world more than 200 000 6192 04:10:56,809 --> 04:10:55,080 cases public hasn't seen it Congress 6193 04:10:59,570 --> 04:10:56,819 hasn't seen it but I can tell you that 6194 04:11:00,769 --> 04:10:59,580 in the year since that book came out 6195 04:11:03,170 --> 04:11:00,779 there's a lot more more information 6196 04:11:04,550 --> 04:11:03,180 that's come our way interviews with key 6197 04:11:07,010 --> 04:11:04,560 players that we're going to be making 6198 04:11:10,070 --> 04:11:07,020 public in 2023 and I think uh I think 6199 04:11:12,410 --> 04:11:10,080 it'll blow it wide open I hope I agree 6200 04:11:14,210 --> 04:11:12,420 yeah and I think also Kurt so people 6201 04:11:16,070 --> 04:11:14,220 right now is kind of neat because we're 6202 04:11:18,290 --> 04:11:16,080 I'm just kind of celebrating the fact 6203 04:11:20,090 --> 04:11:18,300 that we have a few movies out and 6204 04:11:22,010 --> 04:11:20,100 they've done well and

04:15:39,650 --> 04:15:38,040 Alchemy uh before that I I worked for 6317 04:15:41,450 --> 04:15:39,660 Peter Thiel who's kind of you know 6318 04:15:44,090 --> 04:15:41,460 venture capitalist an entrepreneur for 6319 04:15:46,490 --> 04:15:44,100 four years and before that I was at 6320 04:15:49,250 --> 04:15:46,500 Google actually so uh kind of have a 6321 04:15:53,689 --> 04:15:49,260 tech background but am really interested 6322 04:15:57,429 --> 04:15:53,699 in in media and also just kind of uh 6323 04:16:00,590 --> 04:15:57,439 similar to you Kurt I think I have a uh 6324 04:16:04,010 --> 04:16:00,600 basically unsatiable uh interest in 6325 04:16:05,630 --> 04:16:04,020 getting to the the fundamental nature of 6326 04:16:08,150 --> 04:16:05,640 reality and then I think you do it in a 6327 04:16:10,490 --> 04:16:08,160 far more kind of analytical math science 6328 04:16:12,050 --> 04:16:10,500 way and I do it in like a wacky way it's 6329 04:16:16,610 --> 04:16:12,060 the way I would put it 6330 04:16:19,849 --> 04:16:16,620 yeah great great and Lillian please hi 6331 04:16:22,790 --> 04:16:19,859 hi everyone nice to be with you all 6332 04:16:24,530 --> 04:16:22,800 um I think you covered it I mainly 6333 04:16:26,210 --> 04:16:24,540 um a researcher a clinical I'm a 6334 04:16:27,410 --> 04:16:26,220 clinical psychologist but mainly do 6335 04:16:30,650 --> 04:16:27,420 research 6336 04:16:33,170 --> 04:16:30,660 um on how to find innovative ways to 6337 04:16:35,150 --> 04:16:33,180 disseminate act actually into the 6338 04:16:38,269 --> 04:16:35,160 population because 6339 04:16:41,330 --> 04:16:38,279 a regular type of therapy going weekly 6340 04:16:44,150 --> 04:16:41,340 every week for months doesn't actually 6341 04:16:45,889 --> 04:16:44,160 reach most people so trying to find 6342 04:16:47,929 --> 04:16:45,899 innovative ways to reach more people 6343 04:16:49,309 --> 04:16:47,939 great and before we get to Grant I want 6344 04:16:50,630 --> 04:16:49,319 to touch on that point something I 6345 04:16:52,490 --> 04:16:50,640 recall from your lecture so you can 6346 04:16:54,469 --> 04:16:52,500 correct me if this is incorrect 6347 04:16:57,170 --> 04:16:54,479 is that you have a program and I think 6348 04:17:00,050 --> 04:16:57,180 this may be generally 6349 04:17:01,910 --> 04:17:00,060 offered where it's four hours long or 6350 04:17:03,830 --> 04:17:01,920 five hours a day long it's an intensive 6351 04:17:06,050 --> 04:17:03,840 which means that you go and then you 6352 04:17:07,849 --> 04:17:06,060 learn about ACT therapy and then you 6353 04:17:09,769 --> 04:17:07,859 don't it's always useful if you continue 6354 04:17:12,050 --> 04:17:09,779 to go to therapy but you don't need to 6355 04:17:14,210 --> 04:17:12,060 and you can see several benefits whereas 6356 04:17:17,150 --> 04:17:14,220 traditional therapy or Psychotherapy you 6357 04:17:19,309 --> 04:17:17,160 go once a week and if you don't go once 6358 04:17:21,950 --> 04:17:19,319 a month or so or once every or bi-weekly 6359 04:17:24,170 --> 04:17:21,960 you see a huge tapering you don't get 6360 04:17:27,290 --> 04:17:24,180 the results now so what's correct or 6361 04:17:30,349 --> 04:17:27,300 incorrect about that yeah so I developed 6362 04:17:32,750 --> 04:17:30,359 a one-day act Workshop so it's kind of 6363 04:17:36,710 --> 04:17:32,760 like a retreat style and it's about five 6364 04:17:38,570 --> 04:17:36,720 to six hours uh very experiential 6365 04:17:41,630 --> 04:17:38,580 um so you get essentially the entire 6366 04:17:43,130 --> 04:17:41,640 protocol in one day and that's meant to 6367 04:17:46,670 --> 04:17:43,140 kind of 6368 04:17:49,969 --> 04:17:48,410 get the whole treatment in one day 6369 04:17:51,769 --> 04:17:49,979 because the problem is treatment 6370 04:17:54,469 --> 04:17:51,779 adherence and completion is a big 6371 04:17:57,410 --> 04:17:54,479 problem and so yes and we've done 6372 04:17:59,210 --> 04:17:57,420 multiple studies that are funded by NIH 6373 04:18:02,389 --> 04:17:59,220 and the VA that have found that actually 6374 04:18:04,790 --> 04:18:02,399 this one day intervention is effective 6375 04:18:07,750 --> 04:18:04,800 at reducing depression improving anxiety 6376 04:18:10,429 --> 04:18:07,760 functioning quality of life so on so 6377 04:18:15,349 --> 04:18:10,439 some people do need boosters I need a 6378 04:18:18,889 --> 04:18:15,359 booster myself all the time uh so I need 6379 04:18:20,330 --> 04:18:18,899 one right now yeah exactly so but it is 6380 04:18:23,870 --> 04:18:20,340 you know you learn a lot of the 6381 04:18:26,389 --> 04:18:23,880 processes experientially during that day 6382 04:18:28,389 --> 04:18:26,399 um and it's quite intensive and Powerful 6383 04:18:31,849 --> 04:18:28,399 I found while research has found 6384 04:18:33,590 --> 04:18:31,859 empirically Grant Cameron 6385 04:18:34,610 --> 04:18:33,600 what did I miss out in your introduction 6386 04:18:36,889 --> 04:18:34,620 man 6387 04:18:38,990 --> 04:18:36,899 um I've been in the Paranormal business 6388 04:18:40,550 --> 04:18:39,000 since uh shortly after they invented 6389 04:18:46,790 --> 04:18:40,560 dirt 6390 04:18:49,550 --> 04:18:46,800 um I have um I I have a podcast uh 6391 04:18:52,370 --> 04:18:49,560 called uh paranormal UFO Consciousness 6392 04:18:55,610 --> 04:18:52,380 podcast and I have a YouTube which is uh 6393 04:18:57,290 --> 04:18:55,620 the White house UFO YouTube site I've 6394 04:19:00,050 --> 04:18:57,300 just released three books and I guess 6395 04:19:03,889 --> 04:19:00,060 the the main book that is just coming 6396 04:19:06,590 --> 04:19:03,899 out now is on the UFO Sky Pilots which 6397 04:19:08,990 --> 04:19:06,600 deals with 36 plus Witnesses who claim 6398 04:19:10,189 --> 04:19:09,000 that they have flown the craft and I go 6399 04:19:11,570 --> 04:19:10,199 through the pattern of what they 6400 04:19:13,550 --> 04:19:11,580 describe they're all describing the same 6401 04:19:16,729 --> 04:19:13,560 thing how it relates to Consciousness 6402 04:19:18,769 --> 04:19:16,739 and the theory of you know reality and 6403 04:19:20,750 --> 04:19:18,779 all this kind of stuff and and I've also 6404 04:19:22,910 --> 04:19:20,760 had released a weird book called it was 6405 04:19:25,910 --> 04:19:22,920 actually called weird the Paranormal 6406 04:19:27,110 --> 04:19:25,920 world of ports and manifestations which 6407 04:19:29,510 --> 04:19:27,120 I think is one of the first books ever 6408 04:19:31,790 --> 04:19:29,520 written on it and that's uh whether you 6409 04:19:34,309 --> 04:19:31,800 have physical mediums or Poltergeist 6410 04:19:36,769 --> 04:19:34,319 Geist or UFO experiences where things 6411 04:19:38,330 --> 04:19:36,779 will appear disappear move around the 6412 04:19:40,490 --> 04:19:38,340 room and this sort of stuff and I have a 6413 04:19:43,330 --> 04:19:40,500 whole collection of stuff from various 6414 04:19:46,189 --> 04:19:43,340 places around the world 6415 04:19:49,429 --> 04:19:46,199 okay well I have no plan for this 6416 04:19:50,530 --> 04:19:49,439 collection of cats it's difficult to 6417 04:19:53,030 --> 04:19:50,540 herd 6418 04:19:55,130 --> 04:19:53,040 so let's see 6419 04:19:57,290 --> 04:19:55,140 well firstly just like man this is just 6420 04:19:59,929 --> 04:19:57,300 fun thank you all for coming out 6421 04:20:01,550 --> 04:19:59,939 spending December 30th it's a fairly 6422 04:20:03,410 --> 04:20:01,560 sacred day it's almost like Christmas 6423 04:20:05,809 --> 04:20:03,420 near the end of the year thank you thank 6424 04:20:07,610 --> 04:20:05,819 you so let's see what what is it Lily 6425 04:20:10,309 --> 04:20:07,620 we'll start with you because you have to 6426 04:20:15,110 --> 04:20:10,319 get going in about five minutes what is 6427 04:20:17,150 --> 04:20:15,120 it about 2022 that I know that's putting 6428 04:20:19,070 --> 04:20:17,160 on on the spot like what story from 2022 6429 04:20:20,929 --> 04:20:19,080 sticks out to you the most it's most 6430 04:20:29,170 --> 04:20:20,939 relevant and what is the best Insight 6431 04:20:33,769 --> 04:20:31,729 right right 6432 04:20:35,450 --> 04:20:33,779 um what's your second question second 6433 04:20:37,189 --> 04:20:35,460 question comes from the audience 6434 04:20:38,389 --> 04:20:37,199 quote unquote the best Insight from your 6435 04:20:39,830 --> 04:20:38,399 work 6436 04:20:41,210 --> 04:20:39,840 the best 6437 04:20:45,650 --> 04:20:41,220 in my work 6438 04:20:51,229 --> 04:20:48,110 you come to recognize that like 6439 04:20:53,929 --> 04:20:51,239 awareness is the most important first 6440 04:20:55,130 --> 04:20:53,939 step to things like you have to be aware 6441 04:21:03,290 --> 04:20:55,140 of 6442 04:21:06,469 --> 04:21:03,300 the moment like if you don't have that 6443 04:21:08,750 --> 04:21:06,479 that awareness first then so much is on 6444 04:21:10,670 --> 04:21:08,760 autopilot I feel 6445 04:21:14,750 --> 04:21:10,680 um and so I've just come to realize this 6446 04:21:15,530 --> 04:21:14,760 awareness idea is just so important 6447 04:21:17,090 --> 04:21:15,540 um 6448 04:21:19,429 --> 04:21:17,100 you know we can ask you a question about 6449 04:21:22,370 --> 04:21:19,439 that if you don't mind of course 6450 04:21:23,870 --> 04:21:22,380 so what about if someone's issue that 6451 04:21:25,910 --> 04:21:23,880 they're coming to act for is because 6452 04:21:27,530 --> 04:21:25,920 they have too much self-awareness 6453 04:21:29,150 --> 04:21:27,540 where they feel like I'm constantly 6454 04:21:31,370 --> 04:21:29,160 thinking about Consciousness and I feel 6455 04:21:33,710 --> 04:21:31,380 like I'm almost having a psychotic break 6456 04:21:35,929 --> 04:21:33,720 so I'm speaking about my former self at 6457 04:21:38,210 --> 04:21:35,939 least and somewhat my current self and 6458 04:21:40,370 --> 04:21:38,220 so to say oh I need more awareness like 6459 04:21:42,290 --> 04:21:40,380 no no awareness is hurting me right now 6460 04:21:44,389 --> 04:21:42,300 hurting me right now 6461 04:21:48,110 --> 04:21:44,399 well I think what you're describing is 6462 04:21:51,769 --> 04:21:48,120 more like rumination and obsessiveness 6463 04:21:53,389 --> 04:21:51,779 actually it's not so much true awareness 6464 04:21:55,969 --> 04:21:53,399 in the way I'm thinking of it I mean 6465 04:21:59,450 --> 04:21:55,979 awareness is recognizing like okay I am 6466 04:22:03,050 --> 04:21:59,460 going down a rabbit hole here I am I am 6467 04:22:06,710 --> 04:22:03,060 being obsessive now I am ruminating now 6468 04:22:10,490 --> 04:22:06,720 um so it's actually more like developing 6469 04:22:11,809 --> 04:22:10,500 an insight into where you get stuck and 6470 04:22:13,910 --> 04:22:11,819 then 6471 04:22:16,670 --> 04:22:13,920 um where you get triggered 6472 04:22:18,710 --> 04:22:16,680 and then so even being aware of where 6473 04:22:20,990 --> 04:22:18,720 I'm so sorry to interrupt you it's so 6474 04:22:22,729 --> 04:22:21,000 difficult when it's over Zoom because I 6475 04:22:24,290 --> 04:22:22,739 I apologize but what I was going to say 6476 04:22:26,450 --> 04:22:24,300 is like so in that case you would say 6477 04:22:28,610 --> 04:22:26,460 being aware that what you're calling 6478 04:22:32,710 --> 04:22:28,620 awareness is too much like just being 6479 04:22:38,689 --> 04:22:35,150 it's like stepping outside of yourself 6480 04:22:42,410 --> 04:22:38,699 and recognizing like okay like right now 6481 04:22:43,910 --> 04:22:42,420 I am ruminating like I am in this you 6482 04:22:46,849 --> 04:22:43,920 know phase of rumination or I'm 6483 04:22:49,550 --> 04:22:46,859 obsessing about this thing and how does 6484 04:22:52,790 --> 04:22:49,560 how does doing this move me forward in 6485 04:22:55,250 --> 04:22:52,800 my life you know so it's Step One is the 6486 04:22:57,889 --> 04:22:55,260 awareness and step two is 6487 04:23:00,050 --> 04:22:57,899 is this is you know is being stuck on 6488 04:23:01,370 --> 04:23:00,060 this thought process is being stuck on 6489 04:23:02,510 --> 04:23:01,380 this 6490 04:23:04,490 --> 04:23:02,520 um you know what whatever you're 6491 04:23:06,469 --> 04:23:04,500 ruminating about is this moving me 6492 04:23:08,929 --> 04:23:06,479 forward in my life 6493 04:23:12,170 --> 04:23:08,939 or is it keeping me stuck how does 6494 04:23:15,050 --> 04:23:12,180 buying into a particular thought 6495 04:23:16,250 --> 04:23:15,060 um affect my behavior next 6496 04:23:18,229 --> 04:23:16,260 so 6497 04:23:19,849 --> 04:23:18,239 I I'd be interested in hearing what Greg 6498 04:23:23,450 --> 04:23:19,859 what you think about this too you're a 6499 04:23:25,910 --> 04:23:23,460 psychologist yeah no certainly I mean uh 6500 04:23:28,130 --> 04:23:25,920 I'm a big fan of act I'll I'll certainly 6501 04:23:31,429 --> 04:23:28,140 start there I cultivate in training my 6502 04:23:34,490 --> 04:23:31,439 uh doc students awareness acceptance and 6503 04:23:36,710 --> 04:23:34,500 change uh active change in relation uh I 6504 04:23:39,050 --> 04:23:36,720 built a thing called com Mo which is 6505 04:23:41,210 --> 04:23:39,060 basically it merges act in what's called 6506 04:23:42,710 --> 04:23:41,220 interpersonal neurobiology uh and 6507 04:23:44,809 --> 04:23:42,720 certainly this capacity just step 6508

6709 04:32:05,929 --> 04:32:04,979 in these psychedelic things so uh you 6710 04:32:08,689 --> 04:32:05,939 know that's what I'm looking forward to 6711 04:32:10,189 --> 04:32:08,699 I'm very grateful that I'm here and it's 6712 04:32:11,870 --> 04:32:10,199 almost like playing in the Super Bowl I 6713 04:32:13,189 --> 04:32:11,880 always tell people you if you realize 6714 04:32:15,170 --> 04:32:13,199 what's actually going on in the world 6715 04:32:16,729 --> 04:32:15,180 and you're on this Leading Edge of 6716 04:32:18,649 --> 04:32:16,739 trying to figure out how the world Works 6717 04:32:19,969 --> 04:32:18,659 you're in the Super Bowl of all stories 6718 04:32:22,070 --> 04:32:19,979 and you should recognize that most 6719 04:32:24,170 --> 04:32:22,080 people live lives of quiet desperations 6720 04:32:26,090 --> 04:32:24,180 and haven't got a clue what's going on 6721 04:32:28,610 --> 04:32:26,100 and we are on the sort of Leading Edge 6722 04:32:30,830 --> 04:32:28,620 and it's it's like uh Bill Hicks the 6723 04:32:33,050 --> 04:32:30,840 ride you know you're up and down around 6724 04:32:34,969 --> 04:32:33,060 and around and lots of noise and stuff 6725 04:32:37,550 --> 04:32:34,979 it's just like the most thrilling ride 6726 04:32:39,649 --> 04:32:37,560 you could possibly be on to be on on the 6727 04:32:40,969 --> 04:32:39,659 edge and learning you know what the 6728 04:32:42,530 --> 04:32:40,979 world is about and why we're here 6729 04:32:44,030 --> 04:32:42,540 because most people never ever think 6730 04:32:46,849 --> 04:32:44,040 about it until someone says you've got 6731 04:32:51,830 --> 04:32:48,849 huh 6732 04:32:54,530 --> 04:32:51,840 Jesse I don't know how to follow that 6733 04:32:55,490 --> 04:32:54,540 what was that my connection lag for a 6734 04:32:59,750 --> 04:32:55,500 second this is what we're looking 6735 04:33:02,510 --> 04:32:59,760 forward to in 23. right yeah okay uh oh 6736 04:33:05,330 --> 04:33:02,520 man so much I mean I think it was really 6737 04:33:07,250 --> 04:33:05,340 cool to get catch the tail end of um nap 6738 04:33:09,349 --> 04:33:07,260 and Corbell and I I hope a lot of stuff 6739 04:33:11,810 --> 04:33:09,359 moves on the UFO front 6740 04:33:15,609 --> 04:33:11,820 um uh sort of conditioned to be 6741 04:33:18,470 --> 04:33:15,619 disappointed on stuff like that but uh 6742 04:33:20,570 --> 04:33:18,480 with the new uh yeah right I do think 6743 04:33:22,070 --> 04:33:20,580 with the new legislature there might be 6744 04:33:24,349 --> 04:33:22,080 some interesting 6745 04:33:25,849 --> 04:33:24,359 stuff and then you know it's always like 6746 04:33:28,010 --> 04:33:25,859 they'll they'll let you know what they 6747 04:33:29,830 --> 04:33:28,020 want to let you know or whatever so 6748 04:33:32,990 --> 04:33:29,840 um yeah sort of maybe 6749 04:33:34,730 --> 04:33:33,000 cautiously optimistic I what I do think 6750 04:33:36,590 --> 04:33:34,740 is like it's like the surface area of 6751 04:33:38,689 --> 04:33:36,600 interest is growing so much in that that 6752 04:33:39,890 --> 04:33:38,699 it's like the dam is going to break at 6753 04:33:41,449 --> 04:33:39,900 some point so like I don't know when 6754 04:33:42,830 --> 04:33:41,459 that's gonna happen but that's cool to 6755 04:33:46,789 --> 04:33:42,840 me 6756 04:33:51,289 --> 04:33:46,799 um and I don't know I'm excited to just 6757 04:33:55,429 --> 04:33:53,390 oh hello Jesse 6758 04:33:58,369 --> 04:33:55,439 okay well 6759 04:34:00,349 --> 04:33:58,379

04:35:40,429 --> 04:35:38,641 so I'm excited about that uh my book 6805 04:35:42,170 --> 04:35:40,439 just came out so I'm excited about that 6806 04:35:43,570 --> 04:35:42,180 and I want to try to get everybody's 6807 04:35:47,051 --> 04:35:43,580 name 6808 04:35:50,510 --> 04:35:47,061 we're writing it down uh a new synthesis 6809 04:35:53,890 --> 04:35:50,520 a new synthesis uh for solving the 6810 04:35:57,730 --> 04:35:56,150 psychology addressing the enlightenment 6811 04:36:01,131 --> 04:35:57,740 Gap 6812 04:36:03,131 --> 04:36:01,141 and so my goal is to have everybody know 6813 04:36:07,310 --> 04:36:03,141 what the problem of psychology is 6814 04:36:08,689 --> 04:36:07,320 and uh understand why I think it's a 6815 04:36:11,269 --> 04:36:08,699 really important problem like it should 6816 04:36:13,849 --> 04:36:11,279 be as well known as quantum gravity uh 6817 04:36:14,869 --> 04:36:13,859 the problem of psychology but it's not 6818 04:36:17,090 --> 04:36:14,879 um so 6819 04:36:19,670 --> 04:36:17,100 uh and that's basically the the short 6820 04:36:22,250 --> 04:36:19,680 version is is that the physics and 6821 04:36:24,769 --> 04:36:22,260 chemistry biology uh they all have 6822 04:36:28,189 --> 04:36:24,779 pretty clear topics uh that they're 6823 04:36:29,929 --> 04:36:28,199 about in the world as Sciences uh but I 6824 04:36:31,970 --> 04:36:29,939 like to say nobody knows what psychology 6825 04:36:34,849 --> 04:36:31,980 means 6826 04:36:36,890 --> 04:36:34,859 um and that's interesting what do you 6827 04:36:41,689 --> 04:36:36,900 mean 6828 04:36:43,189 --> 04:36:41,699 different reference in the world for 6829 04:36:47,269 --> 04:36:43,199 what people mean when they use the term 6830 04:36:49,131 --> 04:36:47,279 psychology uh so unlike chemistry uh 6831 04:36:50,449 --> 04:36:49,141 people can't know that chemistry is the 6832 04:36:53,570 --> 04:36:50,459 science really are the structural matter 6833 04:36:55,789 --> 04:36:53,580 from particles to atoms to molecules 6834 04:36:59,330 --> 04:36:55,799 um but psychology is different it does 6835 04:37:01,010 --> 04:36:59,340 not have a clearly defined topic area uh 6836 04:37:03,890 --> 04:37:01,020 so there's a wide Community a different 6837 04:37:06,230 --> 04:37:03,900 uh reference for psychology is that why 6838 04:37:09,970 --> 04:37:06,240 science doesn't want you as a science 6839 04:37:13,730 --> 04:37:09,980 that's exactly why science doesn't mind 6840 04:37:15,230 --> 04:37:13,740 because unlike the other hard Sciences 6841 04:37:17,810 --> 04:37:15,240 what they really mean by heart is that 6842 04:37:20,209 --> 04:37:17,820 the ontology uh meaning the thing in the 6843 04:37:22,551 --> 04:37:20,219 world that they're about is much clearer 6844 04:37:29,570 --> 04:37:22,561 the ontology of psychology is is 6845 04:37:32,869 --> 04:37:31,189 what are your hobbies 6846 04:37:34,010 --> 04:37:32,879 it's just the questions I've been asking 6847 04:37:35,449 --> 04:37:34,020 everyone what are you looking forward to 6848 04:37:38,029 --> 04:37:35,459 what are your hobbies what's your 6849 04:37:39,949 --> 04:37:38,039 earliest childhood memory 6850 04:37:41,330 --> 04:37:39,959 I think these are some questions that 6851 04:37:43,189 --> 04:37:41,340 you know 6852 04:37:45,769 --> 04:37:43,199 there are some prohibitive questions 6853 04:37:47,869 --> 04:37:45,779 that you can ask some anyone and then 6854 04:37:50,090 --> 04:37:47,879 you get to know them 6855 04:37:52,730 --> 04:37:50,100 like let's say 100 times the rate of 6856 04:37:53,990 --> 04:37:52,740 just a regular conversation I think 6857 04:37:55,849 --> 04:37:54,000 these are some of the questions I'm 6858 04:37:57,410 --> 04:37:55,859 terribly interested in what people's 6859 04:37:58,970 --> 04:37:57,420 earliest memories are 6860 04:38:01,910 --> 04:37:58,980 and 6861 04:38:03,949 --> 04:38:01,920 what do they do 6862 04:38:05,990 --> 04:38:03,959 I feel like all of us right now we're 6863 04:38:08,869 --> 04:38:06,000 putting on a Persona I mentioned earlier 6864 04:38:11,029 --> 04:38:08,879 that I think the real me is just me with 6865 04:38:13,189 --> 04:38:11,039 my wife it's this cuddly version of me 6866 04:38:14,330 --> 04:38:13,199 and I speak in baby talk and it's so 6867 04:38:16,730 --> 04:38:14,340 embarrassing I'm not even going to do it 6868 04:38:18,590 --> 04:38:16,740 here but I think that that's actually a 6869 04:38:20,810 --> 04:38:18,600 big example I think that that's actually 6870 04:38:22,910 --> 04:38:20,820 me and then everything else is some 6871 04:38:24,650 --> 04:38:22,920 affectation 6872 04:38:26,090 --> 04:38:24,660 but anyway I'm curious though like what 6873 04:38:27,529 --> 04:38:26,100 is the real you what are your hobbies 6874 04:38:30,650 --> 04:38:27,539 and what what's your earliest childhood 6875 04:38:32,869 --> 04:38:30,660 memory grants let's start with you 6876 04:38:35,449 --> 04:38:32,879 I don't really have many childhood 6877 04:38:38,090 --> 04:38:35,459 memories I have a sort of a total blank 6878 04:38:41,029 --> 04:38:38,100 I was almost my life started with my UFO 6879 04:38:42,529 --> 04:38:41,039 experiences with going to University and 6880 04:38:45,769 --> 04:38:42,539 spending my whole life at a university 6881 04:38:48,230 --> 04:38:45,779 uh uh and that's basically uh before 6882 04:38:50,209 --> 04:38:48,240 that I don't remember a heck of a lot of 6883 04:38:53,330 --> 04:38:50,219 anything or did a lot of working very 6884 04:38:55,551 -->

yeah I do you're right I need some 6905 04:39:41,690 --> 04:39:39,780 vitamin C 6906 04:39:45,708 --> 04:39:41,700 um my earliest I don't have like a 6907 04:39:47,810 --> 04:39:45,718 distinct individual one but I I think I 6908 04:39:49,730 --> 04:39:47,820 you know I was I was in my room a lot I 6909 04:39:51,890 --> 04:39:49,740 I got I was either getting grounded 6910 04:39:53,570 --> 04:39:51,900 because I was kind of rebellious or my 6911 04:39:55,490 --> 04:39:53,580 family life was somewhat tumultuous and 6912 04:39:58,610 --> 04:39:55,500 so I would like recede into my room and 6913 04:40:01,970 --> 04:39:58,620 I think a lot of my imagination came 6914 04:40:03,770 --> 04:40:01,980 from like my time in my room with like 6915 04:40:05,630 --> 04:40:03,780 you know playing with action figures and 6916 04:40:08,448 --> 04:40:05,640 stuff and like having to like make up 6917 04:40:10,190 --> 04:40:08,458 narratives uh and so I I'm weirdly 6918 04:40:11,990 --> 04:40:10,200 grateful for that time as much as I 6919 04:40:13,970 --> 04:40:12,000 think it was sort of lonely and you know 6920 04:40:16,010 --> 04:40:13,980 not it probably didn't feel amazing at 6921 04:40:18,890 --> 04:40:16,020 the time then hobbies-wise I love to 6922 04:40:21,470 --> 04:40:18,900 Surf I like to play basketball I like to 6923 04:40:24,288 --> 04:40:21,480 read I like to listen to uh your podcast 6924 04:40:27,830 --> 04:40:24,298 Kurt uh I appreciate that that's great 6925 04:40:31,550 --> 04:40:29,750 if we just go straight Vivid when I was 6926 04:40:33,770 --> 04:40:31,560 about five and a half I fell off the 6927 04:40:37,070 --> 04:40:33,780 monkey bars and hit the back of my head 6928 04:40:38,690 --> 04:40:37,080 and then I pulled up and had my hand was 6929 04:40:41,030 --> 04:40:38,700 all bloody so I still have that pretty 6930 04:40:42,948 --> 04:40:41,040 seared into my Consciousness a bloody 6931 04:40:45,530 --> 04:40:42,958 hand uh when I was about to fall over 6932 04:40:47,750 --> 04:40:45,540 here about five and a half 6933 04:40:49,250 --> 04:40:47,760 um but anyway uh in terms of hobbies I'm 6934 04:40:51,890 --> 04:40:49,260 pretty obsessed with you talk so it's 6935 04:40:53,570 --> 04:40:51,900 just kind of maybe like Grant in my own 6936 04:40:55,190 --> 04:40:53,580 way a little like that's the kind of 6937 04:40:57,050 --> 04:40:55,200 building that and fooling around with 6938 04:40:58,368 --> 04:40:57,060 that and living that but of course then 6939 04:40:59,750 --> 04:40:58,378 relationships and everything else not 6940 04:41:00,470 --> 04:40:59,760 really a hobby but just connecting with 6941 04:41:03,470 --> 04:41:00,480 people 6942 04:41:06,130 --> 04:41:03,480 right and to be clear when Greg 6943

04:42:18,420 entries Pace stands for physics and 6974 04:42:23,390 --> 04:42:21,540 Consciousness explication contest 6975 04:42:25,670 --> 04:42:23,400 the winners are going to be announced 6976 04:42:28,128 --> 04:42:25,680 now I'm going to read a script actually 6977 04:42:31,368 --> 04:42:28,138 I'm going to read this script 6978 04:42:33,410 --> 04:42:31,378 in the finalized version because this is 6979 04:42:35,030 --> 04:42:33,420 just this is a treat for December 30th 6980 04:42:36,650 --> 04:42:35,040 the actual announcement which is the 6981 04:42:38,810 --> 04:42:36,660 same the the exact same winners the 6982 04:42:40,910 --> 04:42:38,820 exact same Runner UPS sorry not 6983 04:42:42,470 --> 04:42:40,920 runner-ups honorable mentions are coming 6984 04:42:45,288 --> 04:42:42,480 out on 6985 04:42:47,868 --> 04:42:45,298 on a fully edited video January 3rd 6986 04:42:49,610 --> 04:42:47,878 January 4th sometime mid-January but 6987 04:42:52,190 --> 04:42:49,620 anyway the point is that 6988 04:42:54,650 --> 04:42:52,200 we had a Consciousness and physics 6989 04:42:57,890 --> 04:42:54,660 contest for creating explainer videos 6990 04:43:00,170 --> 04:42:57,900 akin to what Grant Sanderson did for 6991 04:43:01,788 --> 04:43:00,180 three blue one brown which is for 6992 04:43:04,490 --> 04:43:01,798 mathematics but we did it for physics 6993 04:43:07,730 --> 04:43:04,500 and while he focused on undergrad slash 6994 04:43:10,670 --> 04:43:07,740 High School level we said let's focus on 6995 04:43:12,170 --> 04:43:10,680 The Graduate level and so that was the 6996 04:43:14,150 --> 04:43:12,180 difference but it was heavily inspired 6997 04:43:16,190 --> 04:43:14,160 if not almost a copy and paste of what 6998 04:43:19,368 --> 04:43:16,200 Grant Sanderson did and I just love 6999 04:43:21,530 --> 04:43:19,378 Grant's channel so hey why not put out a 7000 04:43:23,270 --> 04:43:21,540 contest and if more people can hear 7001 04:43:25,190 --> 04:43:23,280 Advanced physics explanations and 7002 04:43:28,128 --> 04:43:25,200 Consciousness theories and their own 7003 04:43:30,350 --> 04:43:28,138 toes and and elucidations of such well 7004 04:43:32,030 --> 04:43:30,360 why not and some people are just on the 7005 04:43:34,610 --> 04:43:32,040 cusp of putting out content but they 7006 04:43:35,510 --> 04:43:34,620 need a push they need a they need some 7007 04:43:37,190 --> 04:43:35,520 reason 7008 04:43:39,770 --> 04:43:37,200 so I thought this could service that 7009 04:43:42,288 --> 04:43:39,780 that was the primary reason and I was so 7010 04:43:43,910 --> 04:43:42,298 me Sam like the whole team and the 7011 04:43:46,610 --> 04:43:43,920 people that we showed it to and even the 7012 04:43:49,430 --> 04:43:46,620 other people who submitted we were all 7013 04:43:52,368 --> 04:43:49,440 extremely surprised at the Quality and 7014 04:43:53,390 --> 04:43:52,378 the quantity of the submissions I 7015 04:43:56,150 --> 04:43:53,400 thought that we'd get like five 7016 04:43:59,770 --> 04:43:56,160 submissions or even ten and we got over 7017 04:44:02,930 --> 04:43:59,780 50. and they were all 7018

04:44:10,910 --> 04:44:08,638 look at that 7022 04:44:13,368 --> 04:44:10,920 it was extremely difficult we did that 7023 04:44:15,470 --> 04:44:13,378 over the course of weeks with a process 7024 04:44:16,368 --> 04:44:15,480 called peer review and then also showing 7025 04:44:18,830 --> 04:44:16,378 it to 7026 04:44:20,930 --> 04:44:18,840 other academics as well as ourselves and 7027 04:44:22,550 --> 04:44:20,940 debating and so on so I'm going to on 7028 04:44:23,750 --> 04:44:22,560 I'm going to give the honorable mentions 7029 04:44:25,430 --> 04:44:23,760 right now 7030

04:47:21,958 mentions in the final Pace one video 7103 04:47:26,208 --> 04:47:24,660 which is coming out in a couple weeks 7104 04:47:29,208 --> 04:47:26,218 I'm going to announce the winners right 7105 04:47:34,190 --> 04:47:29,218 now triadic idealism a model for the 7106 04:47:39,830 --> 04:47:37,368 that is a fascinating video 7107 04:47:42,530 --> 04:47:39,840 so we will place the YouTube Links of 7108 04:47:45,650 --> 04:47:42,540 all of these in this in the comment chat 7109 04:47:47,330 --> 04:47:45,660 shortly time independent Solutions in 7110 04:47:48,590 --> 04:47:47,340 electrodynamics 7111 04:47:53,470 --> 04:47:48,600 by nood 7112 04:48:01,850 --> 04:47:56,448 space-time metric by dialect 7113 04:48:09,410 --> 04:48:03,708 just two left can math explain 7114 04:48:16,810 --> 04:48:14,510 and the last winner is EP no in the 7115 04:48:22,270 --> 04:48:16,820 beginning surreal physics 7116 04:48:26,570 --> 04:48:24,530 a special mention has to go through 7117 04:48:29,810 --> 04:48:26,580 theories of everything the how-to guide 7118 04:48:32,448 --> 04:48:29,820 by Tyler Goldstein it's not a winner 7119 04:48:33,948 --> 04:48:32,458 but I feel like it deserves a class of 7120 04:48:35,628 --> 04:48:33,958 its own it's not an honorable mention 7121 04:48:37,788 --> 04:48:35,638 it's not a winner but it needs to be 7122 04:48:39,948 --> 04:48:37,798 super honorably mentioned 7123 04:48:41,990 --> 04:48:39,958 the well theories of everything the 7124 04:48:43,368 --> 04:48:42,000 how-to guide by Tyler Goldstein you can 7125 04:48:45,410 --> 04:48:43,378 look this up and again the links will be 7126 04:48:47,448 --> 04:48:45,420 in the comments section and once this is 7127 04:48:49,910 --> 04:48:47,458 finally reposted this is a live stream 7128 04:48:52,610 --> 04:48:49,920 it will be in the description 7129 04:48:54,170 --> 04:48:52,620 congratulations to everyone thank you 7130 04:48:56,208 --> 04:48:54,180 all thank you all so

wondering what the heck is 7169 04:50:38,750 --> 04:50:36,480 this Channel about my name is Kurt J 7170 04:50:40,610 --> 04:50:38,760 Mongol I have a channel here called 7171 04:50:42,650 --> 04:50:40,620 theories of everything which is about 7172 04:50:44,448 --> 04:50:42,660 exploring fundamental reality 7173 04:50:45,948 --> 04:50:44,458 Consciousness mainly from a physics 7174 04:50:48,708 --> 04:50:45,958 perspective there are plenty of plans 7175 04:50:51,050 --> 04:50:48,718 for 2023 that don't just involve the 7176 04:50:54,708 --> 04:50:51,060 podcast format I also want to thank 7177 04:50:56,030 --> 04:50:54,718 brilliant our sponsor for this if you're 7178 04:50:57,708 --> 04:50:56,040 familiar with toe you're familiar with 7179 04:50:59,930 --> 04:50:57,718 brilliant but for those who don't know 7180 04:51:01,550 --> 04:50:59,940 Brilliance is a place where you go to 7181 04:51:03,470 --> 04:51:01,560 learn math science and engineering 7182 04:51:05,628 --> 04:51:03,480 through these bite-sized Interactive 7183 04:51:07,250 --> 04:51:05,638 Learning experiences for example and I 7184 04:51:08,810 --> 04:51:07,260 keep saying this I would like to do a 7185 04:51:11,330 --> 04:51:08,820 podcast on information Theory 7186 04:51:13,670 --> 04:51:11,340 particularly Chiara marleto which is 7187 04:51:15,288 --> 04:51:13,680 David Deutsch's student has a theory of 7188 04:51:17,208 --> 04:51:15,298 everything that she puts forward called 7189 04:51:19,368 --> 04:51:17,218 Constructor Theory which is heavily 7190 04:51:21,110 --> 04:51:19,378 contingent on information Theory so I 7191 04:51:22,788 --> 04:51:21,120 took their course on random variable 7192 04:51:24,948 --> 04:51:22,798 distributions and knowledge and 7193 04:51:26,868 --> 04:51:24,958 uncertainty in order to learn a bit more 7194 04:51:28,670 --> 04:51:26,878 about entropy now there's this formula 7195 04:51:30,470 --> 04:51:28,680 for entropy essentially hammered into 7196 04:51:32,628 --> 04:51:30,480 you as an undergraduate which seems to 7197 04:51:34,430 --> 04:51:32,638 have fallen from the sky however when 7198 04:51:35,868 --> 04:51:34,440 you take Brilliance course it was the 7199 04:51:38,628 --> 04:51:35,878 first time that I could see that it's an 7200 04:51:40,910 --> 04:51:38,638 extremely clear and intuitive formula 7201 04:51:42,590 --> 04:51:40,920 that is to say that it would be 7202 04:51:45,530 --> 04:51:42,600 unnatural to Define it in any other 7203 04:51:47,810 --> 04:51:45,540 manner visit brilliant.org toe that is 7204 04:51:49,610 --> 04:51:47,820 t-o-e to get 20 off the annual 7205 04:51:52,250 --> 04:51:49,620 subscription and I recommend that you 7206 04:51:54,230 --> 04:51:52,260 don't stop before four lessons I think 7207 04:51:56,090 --> 04:51:54,240 you'll be greatly surprised at the ease 7208 04:51:57,890 --> 04:51:56,100 at which you can now comprehend subjects 7209 04:51:59,690 --> 04:51:57,900 you previously had a difficult time 7210 04:52:00,890 --> 04:51:59,700 grocking at some point I'll also go 7211 04:52:02,330 --> 04:52:00,900 through the courses and give a 7212 04:52:04,788 --> 04:52:02,340 recommendation in order 7213 04:52:08,270 --> 04:52:04,798 Daniel welcome everyone welcome Daniel 7214 04:52:10,550 --> 04:52:08,280 Alexi and James and soon 7215 04:52:13,010 --> 04:52:10,560 the memes of Destruction 7216 04:52:15,050 --> 04:52:13,020 will also come on as well as well thank 7217 04:52:16,610 --> 04:52:15,060 you all thank you all 7218 04:52:21,128 --> 04:52:16,620 good to see you 7219 04:52:26,810 --> 04:52:24,110 thank you so much for your videos 7220 04:52:28,430 --> 04:52:26,820 you I I appreciate it and I'm I'm just 7221 04:52:29,750 --> 04:52:28,440 curious you want to give an overview as 7222 04:52:31,730 --> 04:52:29,760 to what your video was about to the 7223 04:52:33,590 --> 04:52:31,740 audience and then obviously give the 7224 04:52:35,570 --> 04:52:33,600 title give an indication as to where 7225 04:52:39,230 --> 04:52:35,580 they can find out more about you 7226 04:52:40,550 --> 04:52:39,240 so starting with Alexi and then Kurt I 7227 04:52:42,170 --> 04:52:40,560 just want to say very quickly thank you 7228 04:52:44,448 --> 04:52:42,180 for hosting the competition you know 7229 04:52:46,310 --> 04:52:44,458 letting us create these this content and 7230 04:52:47,510 --> 04:52:46,320 getting it out there and I think it's 7231 04:52:48,890 --> 04:52:47,520 great 7232 04:52:50,030 --> 04:52:48,900 um yeah well thank you for producing 7233 04:52:52,550 --> 04:52:50,040 content for you it would be nothing 7234 04:52:55,430 --> 04:52:52,560 without without you man yeah I know for 7235 04:52:58,730 --> 04:52:55,440 sure it's awesome um well my uh video 7236 04:53:00,708 --> 04:52:58,740 was called uh tow for Kurt but the title 7237 04:53:03,590 --> 04:53:00,718 I had on the presentation is from 7238 04:53:05,030 --> 04:53:03,600 relativity to infinity and it primarily 7239 04:53:06,410 --> 04:53:05,040 discusses 7240 04:53:08,330 --> 04:53:06,420 um how you could say almost all 7241 04:53:10,850 --> 04:53:08,340 energetic relationships stem from a 7242 04:53:12,110 --> 04:53:10,860 primal Vortex of creation so a very 7243 04:53:12,830 --> 04:53:12,120 esoteric 7244 04:53:14,628 --> 04:53:12,840 um 7245 04:53:16,190 --> 04:53:14,638 but in in some sense the easiest way to 7246 04:53:17,990 --> 04:53:16,200 put it is is the universe really 7247 04:53:19,610 --> 04:53:18,000 expanding or are perceptions being 7248 04:53:21,830 --> 04:53:19,620 stretched away based off Einstein's 7249 04:53:23,868 --> 04:53:21,840 theory of relativity so a very quick way 7250 04:53:27,110 --> 04:53:23,878 to put it in a couple sentences 7251 04:53:34,128 --> 04:53:29,628 all right uh hello everyone I'm just 7252 04:53:36,830 --> 04:53:34,138 really grateful to be here and just have 7253 04:53:39,170 --> 04:53:36,840 the opportunity to show our Towers 7254 04:53:41,690 --> 04:53:39,180 I'm just working about this in the last 7255 04:53:44,570 --> 04:53:41,700 10 years so and I just holding back in 7256 04:53:48,230 --> 04:53:44,580 the last three years I even sent Kurt 7257 04:53:51,350 --> 04:53:48,240 email in two two years ago I'm all I am 7258 04:53:53,990 --> 04:53:51,360 from Hungary so it was a long time to 7259 04:53:57,530 --> 04:53:54,000 coming but I am here and I am sharing my 7260 04:54:01,368 --> 04:53:57,540 ideas and my video called jumping 7261 04:54:05,510 --> 04:54:01,378 continuity Towery this sounds really too 7262 04:54:08,690 --> 04:54:05,520 specific but I really looked into every 7263 04:54:10,970 --> 04:54:08,700 details on our reality and I'm using a 7264 04:54:14,208 --> 04:54:10,980 big historical a big perspective a 7265 04:54:17,390 --> 04:54:14,218 generalist emergent issue so that's why 7266 04:54:20,690 --> 04:54:17,400 this might be really deep for anyone to 7267 04:54:23,208 --> 04:54:20,700 really go into in the video there is 7268 04:54:25,010 --> 04:54:23,218 lots of description and please watch 7269 04:54:28,430 --> 04:54:25,020 those uh 7270 04:54:30,050 --> 04:54:28,440 you know references and then you you 7271 04:54:32,330 --> 04:54:30,060 might start to understand what I'm 7272 04:54:34,550 --> 04:54:32,340 talking about it's it's a little bit too 7273 04:54:37,850 --> 04:54:34,560 deep to just uh without the background 7274 04:54:41,628 --> 04:54:37,860 knowledge to get into but I try to be as 7275 04:54:45,170 --> 04:54:41,638 specific and as uh grounded as can be so 7276 04:54:46,070 --> 04:54:45,180 I didn't imply too much predictions but 7277 04:54:48,948 --> 04:54:46,080 I have 7278 04:54:50,390 --> 04:54:48,958 plenty of predictions but I wanted to be 7279 04:54:54,350 --> 04:54:50,400 really 7280 04:54:56,510 --> 04:54:54,360 um grounded in this uh video and also I 7281 04:55:00,110 --> 04:54:56,520 just I would like to mention I'm really 7282 04:55:03,770 --> 04:55:00,120 grateful about this whole setup because 7283 04:55:06,948 --> 04:55:03,780 we meet with James actually a bit in 7284 04:55:09,470 --> 04:55:06,958 between this contest and we are arriving 7285 04:55:11,390 --> 04:55:09,480 an even greater Towery together it's 7286 04:55:13,910 --> 04:55:11,400 called Unity Towery and we are working 7287 04:55:17,270 --> 04:55:13,920 on that with even another person from 7288 04:55:20,448 --> 04:55:17,280 the uh contest so 7289 04:55:25,610 --> 04:55:20,458 I'm just really grateful thank you 7290 04:55:29,208 --> 04:55:28,010 and by the way James the link to yours 7291 04:55:31,970 --> 04:55:29,218 and then the link to Daniels and Alexa 7292 04:55:33,590 --> 04:55:31,980 it'll be coming up shortly we're working 7293 04:55:35,390 --> 04:55:33,600 on that and then I'll pin the comments 7294 04:55:37,850 -->

--> 04:55:41,878 James please 7298 04:55:45,830 --> 04:55:43,860 no problem just wanted to say uh thank 7299 04:55:47,830 --> 04:55:45,840 you as well for the contest like uh 7300 04:55:50,810 --> 04:55:47,840 Daniel mentioned it brought us together 7301 04:55:53,650 --> 04:55:50,820 and uh out of which that Unity Theory 7302 04:55:56,810 --> 04:55:53,660 came about so that was very great and um 7303 04:55:58,670 --> 04:55:56,820 yeah uh I'm also from Canada from 7304 04:56:02,270 --> 04:55:58,680 Toronto too so I found that oh I didn't 7305 04:56:05,270 --> 04:56:02,280 know that one we're both filmmakers and 7306 04:56:07,190 --> 04:56:05,280 um what part uh Parkdale grew up in 7307 04:56:09,170 --> 04:56:07,200 Parkdale 7308 04:56:10,850 --> 04:56:09,180 where are you right now without giving 7309 04:56:12,530 --> 04:56:10,860 away your location right now I'm in 7310 04:56:15,230 --> 04:56:12,540 Tunisia but I'll be moving tomorrow 7311 04:56:16,128 --> 04:56:15,240 morning to Colombia actually so kind of 7312 04:56:17,270 --> 04:56:16,138 crazy 7313 04:56:17,990 --> 04:56:17,280 all right 7314 04:56:20,570 --> 04:56:18,000 um 7315 04:56:22,250 --> 04:56:20,580 so my theory was really it's uh it's 7316 04:56:24,410 --> 04:56:22,260 called paradoxism 7317 04:56:27,830 --> 04:56:24,420 and it's based on coexistence Theory 7318 04:56:30,050 --> 04:56:27,840 that's the theory that underpins it and 7319 04:56:32,868 --> 04:56:30,060 out of out of which 7320 04:56:34,670 --> 04:56:32,878 uh emerged my equation it's called The 7321 04:56:37,010 --> 04:56:34,680 Infinity limited and really what it does 7322 04:56:39,470 --> 04:56:37,020 is it reconciles physics and metaphysics 7323 04:56:42,410 --> 04:56:39,480 uh because I I like to be as clean as 7324 04:56:44,750 --> 04:56:42,420 possible in Theory of Everything try to 7325 04:56:45,350 --> 04:56:44,760 understand what it is that 7326 04:56:48,170 --> 04:56:45,360 um 7327 04:56:50,270 --> 04:56:48,180 what is that creates uh the coherence 7328 04:56:52,490 --> 04:56:50,280 between people and I think if we're 7329 04:56:54,230 --> 04:56:52,500 going to find conciliation between 7330 04:56:55,788 --> 04:56:54,240 theories of everything then ultimately 7331 04:56:57,590 --> 04:56:55,798 that's what has to be done is the 7332 04:56:59,330 --> 04:56:57,600 reconciliation between physics and 7333 04:57:01,910 --> 04:56:59,340 metaphysics so that's why I discuss uh 7334 04:57:04,368 --> 04:57:01,920 void nothingness and existence in my 7335 04:57:06,350 --> 04:57:04,378 theory so that's what it was about 7336 04:57:09,590 --> 04:57:06,360 okay thank you and just for the person 7337 04:57:12,230 --> 04:57:09,600 who is waiting shosh which or Shosh 7338 04:57:14,690 -->

soon as you have a purpose for doing 7347 04:57:35,090 --> 04:57:32,580 something and we all have a purpose in 7348 04:57:37,368 --> 04:57:35,100 life you can actually start to integrate 7349 04:57:39,650 --> 04:57:37,378 with other human beings different ages 7350 04:57:41,510 --> 04:57:39,660 coming together sharing ideas and all of 7351 04:57:43,250 --> 04:57:41,520 a sudden somebody

05:00:19,378 um but yeah I'm really interested in the 7424 05:00:23,330 --> 05:00:21,298 Neuroscience of the imagination and of 7425 05:00:25,430 --> 05:00:23,340 empathy and also um you were talking 7426 05:00:27,288 --> 05:00:25,440 early about poetry and creativity but 7427 05:00:28,850 --> 05:00:27,298 specifically AI 7428 05:00:30,948 --> 05:00:28,860 um so I do a lot of work too on whether 7429 05:00:32,510 --> 05:00:30,958 AI can create poetry in the same way 7430 05:00:34,070 --> 05:00:32,520 that a human would 7431 05:00:37,070 --> 05:00:34,080 um and whether people can recognize 7432 05:00:38,810 --> 05:00:37,080 whether a poem written by AI is written 7433 05:00:41,628 --> 05:00:38,820 by AI or human I try to trick my 7434 05:00:43,190 --> 05:00:41,638 students often with it

was Bernardo who talked 7438 05:00:50,390 --> 05:00:48,540 about nothing being pregnant with every 7439 05:00:52,010 --> 05:00:50,400 thing and I just thought that was the 7440 05:00:53,868 --> 05:00:52,020 most beautiful quotation so I wanted to 7441 05:00:55,970 --> 05:00:53,878 mention that but yeah thanks for having 7442 05:00:57,890 --> 05:00:55,980 me and I'm also a member of the

05:01:11,270 --> 05:01:09,360 looking at emergent phenomena which are 7449 05:01:13,970 --> 05:01:11,280 like spiritual phenomena that result 7450 05:01:15,948 --> 05:01:13,980 from practices such as yoga or the use 7451 05:01:18,470 --> 05:01:15,958 of psychedelics or meditation or 7452 05:01:20,448 --> 05:01:18,480 chanting and some of the facts that come 7453 05:01:23,030 --> 05:01:20,458 of

support me support Brian support Rich 7689 05:10:37,368 --> 05:10:33,958 support Brad who is about to be 7690 05:10:38,628 --> 05:10:37,378 introduced Brad please sir introduce 7691 05:10:39,948 --> 05:10:38,638 yourself if you don't mind and I want to 7692 05:10:42,050 --> 05:10:39,958 just thank you for submitting not only 7693 05:10:45,470 --> 05:10:42,060 submitting but but I want to thank you 7694 05:10:47,990 --> 05:10:45,480 for producing a quality video 7695 05:10:50,930 --> 05:10:48,000 hey thanks I you say quality I know you 7696 05:10:53,390 --> 05:10:50,940 you're defining That Tune very Loosely 7697 05:10:55,910 --> 05:10:53,400 because uh I mean I my tech is really 7698 05:10:58,550 --> 05:10:55,920 low can you guys hear me it might sound 7699 05:11:01,788 --> 05:10:58,560 okay yeah but uh no I just want to say 7700 05:11:04,670 --> 05:11:01,798 Kurt uh well I'm a I'm a vet uh I'm a 7701 05:11:07,730 --> 05:11:04,680 engineer and a lawyer 7702 05:11:08,510 --> 05:11:07,740 um and when the Navy said that UFOs are 7703 05:11:11,208 --> 05:11:08,520 real 7704 05:11:14,208 --> 05:11:11,218 just my brain started spinning and I 7705 05:11:15,830 --> 05:11:14,218 just got really focused on how to how 7706 05:11:19,550 --> 05:11:15,840 could it possibly happen 7707 05:11:20,990 --> 05:11:19,560 and uh so I just started like you do any 7708 05:11:23,690 --> 05:11:21,000 other engineering project I said well 7709 05:11:26,270 --> 05:11:23,700 they look massless what caused this Mass 7710 05:11:27,110 --> 05:11:26,280 it's the Higgs field at least that's 7711 05:11:30,770 --> 05:11:27,120 what 7712 05:11:31,970 --> 05:11:30,780 um space-time Dr Matt O'Dowd said and 7713 05:11:33,410 --> 05:11:31,980 then I was like well how do I get a hold 7714 05:11:35,208 --> 05:11:33,420 of higgsfield and he said I had an 7715 05:11:37,190 --> 05:11:35,218 episode that said the left-handed 7716 05:11:39,890 --> 05:11:37,200 electron uh 7717 05:11:42,288 --> 05:11:39,900 is getting snagged by the Higgs field 7718 05:11:44,090 --> 05:11:42,298 so then I said well what how do I grab 7719 05:11:47,270 --> 05:11:44,100 left lane electrons so I create a 7720 05:11:48,770 --> 05:11:47,280 faraday disk create a magnetic field and 7721 05:11:50,330 --> 05:11:48,780 I found some research from Dr Lawrence 7722 05:11:52,490 --> 05:11:50,340 Eaves at University of Nottingham that 7723 05:11:54,830 --> 05:11:52,500 said if you pass it through a hexagonal 7724 05:11:58,250 --> 05:11:54,840 molecular structure like graphene or 7725 05:11:59,570 --> 05:11:58,260 bismuth or nickel it teases out left and 7726 05:12:01,368 --> 05:11:59,580 right hand electrons 7727 05:12:03,830 --> 05:12:01,378 and so then I see that oscilloscope 7728 05:12:05,090 --> 05:12:03,840 behind me with that platform that that 7729 05:12:07,368 --> 05:12:05,100 scale 7730 05:12:10,128 --> 05:12:07,378 so I built that Faraday disk 7731 05:12:12,708 --> 05:12:10,138 put that plate on top of it turned it on 7732 05:12:14,868 --> 05:12:12,718 and I got about two pounds lighter 7733 05:12:16,550 --> 05:12:14,878 so now I'm trying to 7734 05:12:17,690 --> 05:12:16,560 um essentially you know if you shake the 7735 05:12:19,490 --> 05:12:17,700 left hand electron the left arm's 7736 05:12:22,490 --> 05:12:19,500 holding on the figs field of course I 7737 05:12:24,110 --> 05:12:22,500 have a non non-consensus theory that the 7738 05:12:26,390 --> 05:12:24,120 Higgs field is negative energy density 7739 05:12:28,970 --> 05:12:26,400 gravity and so just a moment Brad 7740 05:12:31,788 --> 05:12:28,980 because if people aren't following this 7741 05:12:34,010 --> 05:12:31,798 I want to leave a link to your work so a 7742 05:12:36,708 --> 05:12:34,020 link will be imminent and then I'm going 7743 05:12:38,510 --> 05:12:36,718 to pin it that's just for people who are 7744 05:12:39,770 --> 05:12:38,520 wondering what the heck is happening so 7745 05:12:42,350 --> 05:12:39,780 please continue 7746 05:12:44,690 --> 05:12:42,360 yeah so if you can shake 246 gig 7747 05:12:47,208 --> 05:12:44,700 electron volts into that left-handed 7748 05:12:49,250 --> 05:12:47,218 electron that you caught in your in your 7749 05:12:50,570 --> 05:12:49,260 Faraday disk magnetic field so you can 7750 05:12:52,970 --> 05:12:50,580 see behind me there's the oscilloscope 7751 05:12:54,350 --> 05:12:52,980 it's dual Channel it has one polarizing 7752 05:12:56,208 --> 05:12:54,360 field and then it has a harmonic one 7753 05:12:58,550 --> 05:12:56,218 that bounces the field I run through a 7754 05:13:01,550 --> 05:12:58,560 car stereo to jack up the wattage 7755 05:13:03,830 --> 05:13:01,560 but um but essentially it shakes the uh 7756 05:13:06,288 --> 05:13:03,840 hopefully I mean I'm hoping that what 7757 05:13:07,970 --> 05:13:06,298 I've hit is a resonant frequency that 7758 05:13:09,708 --> 05:13:07,980 reduces the Hicks to the ground state 7759 05:13:12,230 --> 05:13:09,718 and lowers the mass of whatever's inside 7760 05:13:14,330 --> 05:13:12,240 of it and then it just kind of after 7761 05:13:16,250 --> 05:13:14,340 that sort of hey that's what quantum 7762 05:13:17,990 --> 05:13:16,260 gravity is and then it just kind of led 7763 05:13:20,330 --> 05:13:18,000 me down this complete rabbit hole and I 7764 05:13:22,128 --> 05:13:20,340 started learning quantum physics and 7765 05:13:24,948 --> 05:13:22,138 just kind of seeing how everything fits 7766 05:13:26,510 --> 05:13:24,958 and I think and I don't Dr Keating is a 7767 05:13:28,310 --> 05:13:26,520 privilege Kurt it's a privilege to be on 7768 05:13:30,010 --> 05:13:28,320 your Dr Nolan I mean you guys are all 7769 05:13:32,390 --> 05:13:30,020 great I mean I'm crying right now inside 7770 05:13:34,670 --> 05:13:32,400 and I screenshotted it so I can like 7771 05:13:37,190 --> 05:13:34,680 show my family that I was next to famous 7772 05:13:38,750 --> 05:13:37,200 people but I think space time blows out 7773 05:13:41,448 --> 05:13:38,760 of black holes which is why the universe 7774 05:13:43,550 --> 05:13:41,458 expands and the further you look out I'm 7775 05:13:45,590 --> 05:13:43,560 so pumped to just even be in your guys 7776 05:13:47,208 --> 05:13:45,600 Aura thank you so much 7777 05:13:50,150 --> 05:13:47,218 um but yeah I just I do it in my free 7778 05:13:52,128 --> 05:13:50,160 time uh I have a regular day job and 7779 05:13:55,070 --> 05:13:52,138 everything and I only have four kids 7780 05:13:56,810 --> 05:13:55,080 though so well Brad quite as engaged 7781 05:13:58,550 --> 05:13:56,820 is Dr Keith 7782 05:14:01,550 --> 05:13:58,560 I I 7783 05:14:04,910 --> 05:14:02,990 so thank you for your comments about 7784 05:14:07,190 --> 05:14:04,920 that that's that's incredibly kind and 7785 05:14:10,490 --> 05:14:07,200 I'm Richard and Brian I'm sure we're all 7786 05:14:12,830 --> 05:14:10,500 like super flattered by that so so thank 7787 05:14:14,810 --> 05:14:12,840 you and and I do have to let you go now 7788 05:14:16,610 --> 05:14:14,820 only out of fairness to everyone else 7789 05:14:18,170 --> 05:14:16,620 who is at The Honorable who is honorably 7790 05:14:20,750 --> 05:14:18,180 mentioned I only gave him about a couple 7791 05:14:22,730 --> 05:14:20,760 minutes so I'm Gonna Let You Go and 7792 05:14:24,830 --> 05:14:22,740 it'll join Brian and Richie but thank 7793 05:14:27,410 --> 05:14:24,840 you and we'll speak again okay 7794 05:14:28,788 --> 05:14:27,420 sure it was a pleasure for people who 7795 05:14:31,150 --> 05:14:28,798 are interested again I will leave the 7796 05:14:32,690 --> 05:14:31,160 link right 7797 05:14:34,550 --> 05:14:32,700 [Music] 7798 05:14:35,750 --> 05:14:34,560 it'll be in the description I'll leave 7799 05:14:37,070 --> 05:14:35,760 the link in the description I placed it 7800 05:14:39,890 --> 05:14:37,080 on the on screen several times already 7801 05:14:45,288 --> 05:14:39,900 okay thanks Brad 7802 05:14:45,298 --> 05:14:49,368 Okay so 7803 05:14:55,910 --> 05:14:51,708 all right Rich Brian 7804 05:14:58,430 --> 05:14:55,920 oh we're still here yes better still be 7805 05:15:03,530 --> 05:15:01,190 so I want to know 7806 05:15:04,490 --> 05:15:03,540 Brian I don't think I asked you what do 7807 05:15:06,470 --> 05:15:04,500 you have 7808 05:15:08,810 --> 05:15:06,480 what are you most excited about about 7809 05:15:11,628 --> 05:15:08,820 2023 7810 05:15:15,470 --> 05:15:11,638 I think this year is going to be a year 7811 05:15:20,030 --> 05:15:15,480 of transition where we take discoveries 7812 05:15:22,128 --> 05:15:20,040 and we subject them uh to really intense 7813 05:15:24,590 --> 05:15:22,138 scrutiny I think we're coming out of a 7814 05:15:27,350 --> 05:15:24,600 dark period for science where science 7815 05:15:29,708 --> 05:15:27,360 was subjugated at the will of political 7816 05:15:32,510 --> 05:15:29,718 and media 7817 05:15:35,990 --> 05:15:32,520 imperatives and I think you know thanks 7818 05:15:37,610 --> 05:15:36,000 to Elon musk's generosity and and buying 7819 05:15:41,030 --> 05:15:37,620 Twitter I think a lot of that has been 7820 05:15:43,310 --> 05:15:41,040 liberated and because of that I think 7821 05:15:45,288 --> 05:15:43,320 there will be a new sort of Renaissance 7822 05:15:47,690 --> 05:15:45,298 and I like in the last three years to 7823 05:15:50,830 --> 05:15:47,700 sort of a Dark Age like you you almost 7824 05:15:53,270 --> 05:15:50,840 couldn't have a flourishing of say 7825 05:15:55,730 --> 05:15:53,280 engineering you know during the during 7826 05:15:56,868 --> 05:15:55,740 the Dark Ages so so-called Dark Ages it 7827 05:15:59,030 --> 05:15:56,878 turns out they weren't that dark but 7828 05:16:01,430 --> 05:15:59,040 let's get into that some other time 7829 05:16:03,050 --> 05:16:01,440 um we couldn't have like flourishing art 7830 05:16:06,770 --> 05:16:03,060 and architecture and then like 7831 05:16:08,510 --> 05:16:06,780 suppression of of thought and uh and and 7832 05:16:11,510 --> 05:16:08,520 Science and all sorts of things in other 7833 05:16:15,010 --> 05:16:11,520 words concomitant with the overbearing 7834 05:16:18,890 --> 05:16:15,020 social uh pressures that came from 7835 05:16:20,330 --> 05:16:18,900 political uh factions with those being 7836 05:16:24,110 --> 05:16:20,340 alleviated 7837 05:16:26,150 --> 05:16:24,120 uh that has really uh stemmed a tide 7838 05:16:27,830 --> 05:16:26,160 that made me very nervous very worried 7839 05:16:29,628 --> 05:16:27,840 and I say that I've had two 7840 05:16:31,970 --> 05:16:29,638 conversations in the last month of my 7841 05:16:34,190 --> 05:16:31,980 podcast one with actually three one one 7842 05:16:36,948 --> 05:16:34,200 with professor Charles seif just last 7843 05:16:38,810 --> 05:16:36,958 week about nuclear fusion and they 7844 05:16:40,910 --> 05:16:38,820 claimed you know Revelation and 7845 05:16:41,990 --> 05:16:40,920 breakthrough which kind of showed the 7846 05:16:43,610 --> 05:16:42,000 governmental 7847 05:16:45,190 --> 05:16:43,620 um you know hype cycle I call it the 7848 05:16:48,050 --> 05:16:45,200 academic media 7849 05:16:50,150 --> 05:16:48,060 complex industrial complex I'm gonna 7850 05:16:52,190 --> 05:16:50,160 have a video about that soon 7851 05:16:54,050 --> 05:16:52,200 um along with things like the quantum 7852 05:16:55,788 --> 05:16:54,060 Computing Wormhole which I have an 7853 05:16:57,708 --> 05:16:55,798 upcoming video about as well these are 7854 05:17:00,948 --> 05:16:57,718 hype things and then you have 7855 05:17:03,170 --> 05:17:00,958 of legitimate scientific discoveries or 7856 05:17:06,590 --> 05:17:03,180 practice of science like the James Webb 7857 05:17:08,390 --> 05:17:06,600 Space Telescope that was uh embroiled in 7858 05:17:11,570 --> 05:17:08,400 a controversy recently over the name 7859 05:17:14,810 --> 05:17:11,580 being named after James Webb and he was 7860 05:17:17,330 --> 05:17:14,820 accused falsely of being a homophobe and 7861 05:17:19,610 --> 05:17:17,340 this actually caused a great deal of of 7862 05:17:22,430 --> 05:17:19,620 uh of pressure on a good friend of mine 7863 05:17:23,990 --> 05:17:22,440 past guest hakima lashayi who's a very 7864 05:17:26,990 --> 05:17:24,000 well-known physicist himself who happens 7865 05:17:28,850 --> 05:17:27,000 to be black and he set on a campaign to 7866 05:17:32,208 --> 05:17:28,860 investigate did James Webb practice 7867 05:17:34,788 --> 05:17:32,218 homophobia found negative did not and 7868 05:17:37,190 --> 05:17:34,798 yet his life hakeem's was turned upside 7869 05:17:39,770 --> 05:17:37,200 down because of non-scientific reasons 7870 05:17:41,570 --> 05:17:39,780 people that just hated this notion that 7871 05:17:43,850 --> 05:17:41,580 gays and lesbians should be persecuted 7872 05:17:46,070 --> 05:17:43,860 which we all should abort but at the 7873 05:17:47,510 --> 05:17:46,080 same token uh this this came about 7874 05:17:49,850 --> 05:17:47,520 and then the last thing was Dr J 7875 05:17:51,350 --> 05:17:49,860 bhattacharya uh one of the co-authors of 7876 05:17:54,110 --> 05:17:51,360 the Great Barrington declaration who 7877 05:17:56,330 --> 05:17:54,120 promoted Common Sense covid navigation 7878 05:17:58,430 --> 05:17:56,340 and he was called by the most powerful 7879 05:18:00,410 --> 05:17:58,440 two people in all of science right now 7880 05:18:02,868 --> 05:18:00,420 to the extent that you can identify 7881 05:18:05,930 --> 05:18:02,878 scientific bureaucrats as being powerful 7882 05:18:09,288 --> 05:18:05,940 uh Francis Collins director of the NIH 7883 05:18:11,448 --> 05:18:09,298 and Tony fauci who needs no introduction 7884 05:18:14,390 --> 05:18:11,458 um he's not coming on is he is he Kurt 7885 05:18:17,930 --> 05:18:14,400 is he coming on a live stream I hope not 7886 05:18:20,270 --> 05:18:17,940 yeah so uh to hear the treatment of Jay 7887 05:18:22,250 --> 05:18:20,280 and how much has changed just in the 7888 05:18:23,990 --> 05:18:22,260 last few months is really a breath of 7889 05:18:26,030 --> 05:18:24,000 fresh air so I'm looking forward to 7890 05:18:28,850 --> 05:18:26,040 discovers I had an epic tweet thread I 7891 05:18:31,910 --> 05:18:28,860 posted yesterday predictions for 2023 in 7892 05:18:34,730 --> 05:18:31,920 science also the UFO project I'm uh very 7893 05:18:37,670 --> 05:18:34,740 good friends with the NASA UAP study 7894 05:18:39,470 --> 05:18:37,680 director doesn't give me any special uh 7895 05:18:41,750 --> 05:18:39,480 favors Dr David spurgle who's been a 7896 05:18:43,910 --> 05:18:41,760 two-time guest on my podcast uh he's 7897 05:18:46,368 --> 05:18:43,920 leading the NASA study and he's going to 7898 05:18:48,770 --> 05:18:46,378 do a phenomenal job when that comes out 7899 05:18:50,690 --> 05:18:48,780 he's promised to come on my podcast and 7900 05:18:52,368 --> 05:18:50,700 reveal you know some of the inner 7901 05:18:55,190 --> 05:18:52,378 workings of how they came to their 7902 05:18:56,990 --> 05:18:55,200 public findings Dr Shelly Wright is a 7903 05:18:59,270 --> 05:18:57,000 colleague at UC San Diego she studies 7904 05:19:01,190 --> 05:18:59,280 Optical study incredibly interesting 7905 05:19:03,230 --> 05:19:01,200 using looking for laser light Pulses 7906 05:19:04,550 --> 05:19:03,240 from distant civilizations so I'm 7907 05:19:06,050 --> 05:19:04,560 looking forward to all that she's also 7908 05:19:08,390 --> 05:19:06,060 going to be a guest on the podcast so 7909 05:19:09,830 --> 05:19:08,400 stay tuned for that I like to do and as 7910 05:19:11,448 --> 05:19:09,840 you know you're You're The Theory of 7911 05:19:14,270 --> 05:19:11,458 Everything I almost changed my channel 7912 05:19:16,310 --> 05:19:14,280 from into the impossible to experiment 7913 05:19:17,990 --> 05:19:16,320 of everything because you cover all the 7914 05:19:19,490 --> 05:19:18,000 theories of everything someone's got to 7915 05:19:21,948 --> 05:19:19,500 do the Hands-On instrument building 7916 05:19:24,050 --> 05:19:21,958 Hardware technical things I said we're 7917 05:19:25,490 --> 05:19:24,060 Hodge dual to one another 7918 05:19:27,050 --> 05:19:25,500 that's right 7919 05:19:29,448 --> 05:19:27,060 yeah we are we are I don't know who's 7920 05:19:30,410 --> 05:19:29,458 who's the complex though of the two of 7921 05:19:32,930 --> 05:19:30,420 us 7922 05:19:34,368 --> 05:19:32,940 so so Richie sorry if I keep calling you 7923 05:19:36,948 --> 05:19:34,378 Richard I just mean that in an endearing 7924 05:19:39,050 --> 05:19:36,958 manner Richard what 7925 05:19:41,208 --> 05:19:39,060 what are some things that ordinary 7926 05:19:43,070 --> 05:19:41,218 people can do outside of petitioning 7927 05:19:46,610 --> 05:19:43,080 their government 7928 05:19:48,230 --> 05:19:46,620 to facilitate UFO disclosure or to help 7929 05:19:51,288 --> 05:19:48,240 get some 7930 05:19:53,628 --> 05:19:51,298 get less befuddling of the UFO scene and 7931 05:19:55,970 --> 05:19:53,638 more illumination 7932 05:19:56,990 --> 05:19:55,980 uh I'll answer that but I just want to 7933 05:19:59,448 --> 05:19:57,000 say this is the first time I've heard 7934 05:20:00,590 --> 05:19:59,458 Brian Keating speak and uh I kind of 7935 05:20:02,690 --> 05:20:00,600 like the 7936 05:20:04,128 --> 05:20:02,700 political analysis I agree with musk and 7937 05:20:05,390 --> 05:20:04,138 Twitter 7938 05:20:08,208 --> 05:20:05,400 um and pretty much I think everything 7939 05:20:10,250 --> 05:20:08,218 else you said Brian uh I'm looking 7940 05:20:12,230 --> 05:20:10,260 forward to seeing how that NASA UFO UAP 7941 05:20:14,628 --> 05:20:12,240 study goes I have a little bit less 7942 05:20:17,150 --> 05:20:14,638 confidence maybe than you do that will 7943 05:20:19,250 --> 05:20:17,160 be according to what I think it really 7944 05:20:21,670 --> 05:20:19,260 ought to be but that's just based on 7945 05:20:25,128 --> 05:20:21,680 NASA's long long history of UFO 7946 05:20:28,190 --> 05:20:25,138 obfuscation and actual dishonesty that 7947 05:20:29,810 --> 05:20:28,200 they've had and a lack of um 7948 05:20:31,190 --> 05:20:29,820 really good work done on it but maybe 7949 05:20:32,750 --> 05:20:31,200 this will be different and I'm looking 7950 05:20:35,690 --> 05:20:32,760 at that uh 7951 05:20:37,730 --> 05:20:35,700 uh carefully and critically as well as 7952 05:20:38,750 --> 05:20:37,740 far as your question Kurt 7953 05:20:40,310 --> 05:20:38,760 um 7954 05:20:42,948 --> 05:20:40,320 well I think the conversation we're 7955 05:20:44,390 --> 05:20:42,958 having on UAP or UFOs in our society 7956 05:20:47,270 --> 05:20:44,400 it's much much better than it's been 7957 05:20:49,490 --> 05:20:47,280 five years ago uh and long before that 7958 05:20:52,070 --> 05:20:49,500 where it was utterly impossible to have 7959 05:20:54,350 --> 05:20:52,080 a an adult mature conversation about 7960 05:20:56,448 --> 05:20:54,360 this subject in the public domain it was 7961 05:20:58,070 --> 05:20:56,458 just it got shut down every time so it's 7962 05:21:00,530 --> 05:20:58,080 a little bit better now we're still at 7963 05:21:02,208 --> 05:21:00,540 the tiniest of baby steps in terms of 7964 05:21:04,430 --> 05:21:02,218 really grasping what this phenomenon is 7965 05:21:06,170 --> 05:21:04,440 about uh we're still at the point where 7966 05:21:07,490 --> 05:21:06,180 we have scientists saying gee I wonder 7967 05:21:10,310 --> 05:21:07,500 if there's something out there is this 7968 05:21:11,990 --> 05:21:10,320 anomalous and so forth 7969 05:21:14,270 --> 05:21:12,000 um I've been looking at I've looked at 7970 05:21:17,150 --> 05:21:14,280 thousands upon thousands upon thousands 7971 05:21:19,250 --> 05:21:17,160 of cases many Declassified military 7972 05:21:21,410 --> 05:21:19,260 case is not simply from the US but from 7973 05:21:22,970 --> 05:21:21,420 other nations as well and there's no 7974 05:21:24,650 --> 05:21:22,980 question that this is not simply 7975 05:21:27,770 --> 05:21:24,660 something that's real but it's a 7976 05:21:31,010 --> 05:21:27,780 significant high level National Security 7977 05:21:33,948 --> 05:21:31,020 issue that at times is taken on 7978 05:21:37,430 --> 05:21:33,958 uh Monumental and Ultra grave 7979 05:21:39,288 --> 05:21:37,440 proportions more than once so it's 7980 05:21:41,750 --> 05:21:39,298 obviously something very serious it is 7981 05:21:44,150 --> 05:21:41,760 enmeshed with the intelligence and 7982 05:21:46,190 --> 05:21:44,160 military communities primarily of the 7983 05:21:48,170 --> 05:21:46,200 United States but also elsewhere there's 7984 05:21:49,670 --> 05:21:48,180 a lot of obfuscation you know I did a 7985 05:21:51,650 --> 05:21:49,680 lot of time looking at the Davis Wilson 7986 05:21:54,890 --> 05:21:51,660 notes I was one of the few people 7987 05:21:57,350 --> 05:21:54,900 initially who really stood by them in 7988 05:21:59,390 --> 05:21:57,360 2019 and 2020 when a lot of people were 7989 05:22:01,368 --> 05:21:59,400 still trashing them I knew that they 7990 05:22:03,288 --> 05:22:01,378 were legit I know they are legit and the 7991 05:22:06,050 --> 05:22:03,298 implications of what are in those 7992 05:22:09,350 --> 05:22:06,060 documents is those notes are quite 7993 05:22:12,410 --> 05:22:09,360 significant describes a 7994 05:22:14,270 --> 05:22:12,420 deeply deeply clandestine classified 7995 05:22:15,530 --> 05:22:14,280 special Access program series of 7996 05:22:17,868 --> 05:22:15,540 programs 7997 05:22:20,150 --> 05:22:17,878 that are 7998 05:22:21,948 --> 05:22:20,160 maybe with the legal fiction of having 7999 05:22:23,930 --> 05:22:21,958 some government purview but in a sense 8000 05:22:25,368 --> 05:22:23,940 in essence they really don't have much 8001 05:22:26,930 --> 05:22:25,378 government oversight and anything 8002 05:22:28,128 --> 05:22:26,940 meaningful at all 8003 05:22:30,230 --> 05:22:28,138 and 8004 05:22:31,128 --> 05:22:30,240 um appear strongly appear I would say to 8005 05:22:33,948 --> 05:22:31,138 have 8006 05:22:35,750 --> 05:22:33,958 to do with the possession of non-human 8007 05:22:37,788 --> 05:22:35,760 technology and even bodies I think all 8008 05:22:40,910 --> 05:22:37,798 of that is real the other thing that we 8009 05:22:44,810 --> 05:22:40,920 need to be talking about is the ongoing 8010 05:22:47,690 --> 05:22:44,820 massive daily presence of these unknown 8011 05:22:48,708 --> 05:22:47,700 craft over people's neighborhoods every 8012 05:22:51,110 --> 05:22:48,718 single day 8013 05:22:52,850 --> 05:22:51,120 uh you can look around there are a 8014 05:22:54,650 --> 05:22:52,860 couple of repositories that accept good 8015 05:22:56,810 --> 05:22:54,660 UFO cases 8016 05:22:59,390 --> 05:22:56,820 they don't all get great investigations 8017 05:23:01,788 --> 05:22:59,400 it is true but when you go through the 8018 05:23:04,670 --> 05:23:01,798 data I think it becomes undeniable to a 8019 05:23:06,230 --> 05:23:04,680 reasonable mind that every single day at 8020 05:23:07,910 --> 05:23:06,240 two in the morning three in the morning 8021 05:23:10,010 --> 05:23:07,920 there's a craft that might be hovering 8022 05:23:12,050 --> 05:23:10,020 over your neighborhood at 200 feet 8023 05:23:13,310 --> 05:23:12,060 people see these things all the time and 8024 05:23:15,288 --> 05:23:13,320 I would like to know who the heck is 8025 05:23:16,368 --> 05:23:15,298 behind them what are they doing what's 8026 05:23:18,770 --> 05:23:16,378 the mission 8027 05:23:21,110 --> 05:23:18,780 are these aliens or not I don't think 8028 05:23:23,930 --> 05:23:21,120 they're black budget so there's there's 8029 05:23:26,090 --> 05:23:23,940 a lot of uh progress that we need to be 8030 05:23:27,050 --> 05:23:26,100 making on the UFO matter what can people 8031 05:23:29,690 --> 05:23:27,060 do 8032 05:23:32,090 --> 05:23:29,700 well this is a subject with a steep 8033 05:23:34,010 --> 05:23:32,100 learning curve I've learned that 25 8034 05:23:35,930 --> 05:23:34,020 years ago I thought I'll take uh two 8035 05:23:38,090 --> 05:23:35,940 three months out of my life and get up 8036 05:23:40,490 --> 05:23:38,100 to speed on it right and that was a long 8037 05:23:42,830 --> 05:23:40,500 long time ago so it takes a long while 8038 05:23:44,810 --> 05:23:42,840 to become what I would say is genuinely 8039 05:23:46,910 --> 05:23:44,820 sophisticated in one's understanding of 8040 05:23:50,330 --> 05:23:46,920 a subject it's been laughed at for years 8041 05:23:51,350 --> 05:23:50,340 and decades and I think uh and I and I 8042 05:23:53,510 --> 05:23:51,360 don't know 8043 05:23:55,610 --> 05:23:53,520 um you Brian so I would never make an 8044 05:23:57,230 --> 05:23:55,620 assumption but I do find that many many 8045 05:23:59,990 --> 05:23:57,240 highly intelligent people with great 8046 05:24:01,430 --> 05:24:00,000 education underestimate this subject and 8047 05:24:03,350 --> 05:24:01,440 they think that they've got it when in 8048 05:24:05,930 --> 05:24:03,360 fact they're at the bottom of the 8049 05:24:08,270 --> 05:24:05,940 mountain so there's a long way to go 8050 05:24:10,128 --> 05:24:08,280 yeah I agree Richard I think there's a 8051 05:24:12,170 --> 05:24:10,138 lot of um there's a lot of hubris right 8052 05:24:14,510 --> 05:24:12,180 there's the kind of Camp the Elon Musk 8053 05:24:16,430 --> 05:24:14,520 camp that we've had great cameras for 8054 05:24:19,430 --> 05:24:16,440 decades and they've been improving in 8055 05:24:20,930 --> 05:24:19,440 the quality of UFO sightings has got you 8056 05:24:22,910 --> 05:24:20,940 know it's easy to dismiss and elon's a 8057 05:24:24,650 --> 05:24:22,920 brilliant man I hope to have him on my 8058 05:24:26,990 --> 05:24:24,660 podcast at some point uh then there's 8059 05:24:29,570 --> 05:24:27,000 actually an abundance of excellent video 8060 05:24:31,310 --> 05:24:29,580 autographic evidence that is out there 8061 05:24:33,830 --> 05:24:31,320 that just gets ignored 8062 05:24:35,570 --> 05:24:33,840 right quite a bit so what I what I like 8063 05:24:37,190 --> 05:24:35,580 to do is think about it as an astronomer 8064 05:24:38,810 --> 05:24:37,200 that's what I'm trained as I do build 8065 05:24:41,030 --> 05:24:38,820 instrumentation I like to think of the 8066 05:24:42,890 --> 05:24:41,040 physics implications and you know for a 8067 05:24:44,448 --> 05:24:42,900 long time I simply applied Pascal's 8068 05:24:46,730 --> 05:24:44,458 wager to this whole problem if it is 8069 05:24:48,890 --> 05:24:46,740 real the penalty for you know not 8070 05:24:51,470 --> 05:24:48,900 believing it is infinite almost right we 8071 05:24:53,628 --> 05:24:51,480 could lose out on four centuries of 8072 05:24:55,670 --> 05:24:53,638 physics progress another hand if it 8073 05:24:57,170 --> 05:24:55,680 isn't real whatever that means I'm not 8074 05:24:58,430 --> 05:24:57,180 going to debate it right now but it 8075 05:24:59,330 --> 05:24:58,440 isn't real and you spend some time on it 8076 05:25:01,128 --> 05:24:59,340 first of all you're learning a 8077 05:25:03,230 --> 05:25:01,138 tremendous amount right let's not forget 8078 05:25:05,150 --> 05:25:03,240 all the things we've learned about 8079 05:25:07,310 --> 05:25:05,160 um just from the consideration of the 8080 05:25:09,230 --> 05:25:07,320 existence of extraterrestrial life we've 8081 05:25:11,650 --> 05:25:09,240 learned about Material Science we've 8082 05:25:14,628 --> 05:25:11,660 learned about Imaging and we've learned 8083 05:25:16,250 --> 05:25:14,638 propulsion systems and and then I'm also 8084 05:25:18,410 --> 05:25:16,260 a pilot I fly little planes around here 8085 05:25:20,390 --> 05:25:18,420 in California and um one of the things 8086 05:25:22,490 --> 05:25:20,400 that's interest uh you know to me and I 8087 05:25:24,948 --> 05:25:22,500 know I'm interested in NASA outside of 8088 05:25:26,390 --> 05:25:24,958 the alien issue is how could these 8089 05:25:28,430 --> 05:25:26,400 objects be threats how could they 8090 05:25:29,690 --> 05:25:28,440 interfere with the safety of of the 8091 05:25:31,250 --> 05:25:29,700 public and I think that's actually been 8092 05:25:33,708 --> 05:25:31,260 downplayed I mean Kurt and I hosted 8093 05:25:34,970 --> 05:25:33,718 along and people are still talking about 8094 05:25:38,390 --> 05:25:34,980 that that's probably my most popular 8095 05:25:40,010 --> 05:25:38,400 video in the last couple years and that 8096 05:25:42,350 --> 05:25:40,020 video you know people are making fun of 8097 05:25:45,110 --> 05:25:42,360 it now on the other hand I also I don't 8098 05:25:46,550 --> 05:25:45,120 shy away from upgrading you know the 8099 05:25:48,350 --> 05:25:46,560 Believers the so-called you know I want 8100 05:25:50,270 --> 05:25:48,360 to believe type folks I say look I asked 8101 05:25:51,770 --> 05:25:50,280 Tom this point blank I said you claim 8102 05:25:53,030 --> 05:25:51,780 you have evidence let's talk about the 8103 05:25:54,708 --> 05:25:53,040 evidence where is it how'd you get it 8104 05:25:57,050 --> 05:25:54,718 how did you come to it can we test it 8105 05:25:58,670 --> 05:25:57,060 can we subject it in my laboratory well 8106 05:26:00,050 --> 05:25:58,680 we can do some of those things but you 8107 05:26:02,030 --> 05:26:00,060 know we lost track of it we don't have 8108 05:26:03,770 --> 05:26:02,040 provenance we don't at a certain point 8109 05:26:06,590 --> 05:26:03,780 Richard you know you scientifically 8110 05:26:08,750 --> 05:26:06,600 minded per people and like you and me we 8111 05:26:11,690 --> 05:26:08,760 would say look at a certain point that 8112 05:26:14,150 --> 05:26:11,700 evidence doesn't fully rise to to you 8113 05:26:16,010 --> 05:26:14,160 know the point of scientific 8114 05:26:18,470 --> 05:26:16,020 um this positive in other words it may 8115 05:26:19,730 --> 05:26:18,480 evidence as eyewitness evidences I mean 8116 05:26:20,810 --> 05:26:19,740 I don't use eyewitness evidence and 8117 05:26:23,510 --> 05:26:20,820 cosmology because there were no 8118 05:26:25,670 --> 05:26:23,520 eyewitnesses to the Big Bang but uh I 8119 05:26:27,590 --> 05:26:25,680 think we have to be we have to be 8120 05:26:29,030 --> 05:26:27,600 um open and not have that hubris that 8121 05:26:31,788 --> 05:26:29,040 you're speaking about on the other hand 8122 05:26:34,550 --> 05:26:31,798 we can't also say that because I want to 8123 05:26:37,010 --> 05:26:34,560 believe something that I'm almost going 8124 05:26:39,470 --> 05:26:37,020 to be as accepting of of technology and 8125 05:26:40,850 --> 05:26:39,480 claims and and visitations and sightings 8126 05:26:42,770 --> 05:26:40,860 and so forth 8127 05:26:44,570 --> 05:26:42,780 um and and kind of not use our 8128 05:26:46,310 --> 05:26:44,580 scientific training I I don't know if 8129 05:26:49,010 --> 05:26:46,320 you'd agree with that but that's right I 8130 05:26:50,868 --> 05:26:49,020 use my historical training so I'm not a 8131 05:26:53,030 --> 05:26:50,878 scientifically trained man I'm a 8132 05:26:54,650 --> 05:26:53,040 historian and so what I've been 8133 05:26:57,128 --> 05:26:54,660 interested in doing is trying to figure 8134 05:27:00,708 --> 05:26:57,138 out a historical puzzle which is why 8135 05:27:02,750 --> 05:27:00,718 have leading uh directors of the Central 8136 05:27:05,030 --> 05:27:02,760 Intelligence Agency four-star generals 8137 05:27:06,830 --> 05:27:05,040 three star generals of the US and 8138 05:27:08,448 --> 05:27:06,840 elsewhere taking this problem so 8139 05:27:11,570 --> 05:27:08,458 seriously and why has there been so much 8140 05:27:13,850 --> 05:27:11,580 obfuscation and secrecy around it that's 8141 05:27:16,368 --> 05:27:13,860 undeniable fact and and then furthermore 8142 05:27:18,890 --> 05:27:16,378 what is what could be the meaning behind 8143 05:27:21,890 --> 05:27:18,900 the many hundreds I would say thousands 8144 05:27:23,868 --> 05:27:21,900 of Declassified military reports that 8145 05:27:27,470 --> 05:27:23,878 describe rather dramatic encounters with 8146 05:27:30,288 --> 05:27:27,480 UFOs so that's the situation that I'm 8147 05:27:32,030 --> 05:27:30,298 interested in so rather than explaining 8148 05:27:34,010 --> 05:27:32,040 it scientifically it's trying to 8149 05:27:36,650 --> 05:27:34,020 understand it historically and 8150 05:27:38,628 --> 05:27:36,660 understand why it was taken seriously by 8151 05:27:41,150 --> 05:27:38,638 some of the most brilliant responsible 8152 05:27:43,190 --> 05:27:41,160 National Security people and in our 8153 05:27:47,810 --> 05:27:43,200 lifetime 8154 05:27:51,050 --> 05:27:49,490 yeah yeah I'm sorry oh no I'm just gonna 8155 05:27:52,490 --> 05:27:51,060 ask Richard and YouTube 8156 05:27:53,448 --> 05:27:52,500 yeah I just want to ask Richard and new 8157 05:27:54,770 --> 05:27:53,458 Kurt 8158 05:27:56,810 --> 05:27:54,780 um one of the things I've been thinking 8159 05:27:59,690 --> 05:27:56,820 about is sort of the analog of a Turing 8160 05:28:02,690 --> 05:27:59,700 test but for classifying you know 8161 05:28:04,190 --> 05:28:02,700 sightings encounters or whatever and um 8162 05:28:05,990 --> 05:28:04,200 and that's very this is something people 8163 05:28:07,850 --> 05:28:06,000 can really latch on to and they can 8164 05:28:09,830 --> 05:28:07,860 participate on in fact before I joined 8165 05:28:11,930 --> 05:28:09,840 the show I had to prove that I was a 8166 05:28:14,208 --> 05:28:11,940 human being you know via a recaptcha 8167 05:28:16,010 --> 05:28:14,218 type system right 8168 05:28:19,128 --> 05:28:16,020 um and so Richard and Kurt I wonder you 8169 05:28:21,110 --> 05:28:19,138 know could we sort of crowdsource you 8170 05:28:23,810 --> 05:28:21,120 know these things and kind of the the 8171 05:28:25,730 --> 05:28:23,820 citizen science Brigade and call for 8172 05:28:27,288 --> 05:28:25,740 that in addition to professional 8173 05:28:31,190 --> 05:28:27,298 scientists like myself actually working 8174 05:28:33,288 --> 05:28:31,200 on Avi lobe Gary Nolan you know um Etc 8175 05:28:35,930 --> 05:28:33,298 working on this phenomena but like have 8176 05:28:38,868 --> 05:28:35,940 a recapture you know how can we classify 8177 05:28:41,150 --> 05:28:38,878 things just at the data level is that 8178 05:28:42,530 --> 05:28:41,160 even possible as a way to engage citizen 8179 05:28:44,208 --> 05:28:42,540 scientists 8180 05:28:47,030 --> 05:28:44,218 there are ways to do this absolutely 8181 05:28:48,410 --> 05:28:47,040 there are um projects going on right now 8182 05:28:50,690 --> 05:28:48,420 and I wish I could remember the German 8183 05:28:52,430 --> 05:28:50,700 professor's name who's doing this I was 8184 05:28:56,150 --> 05:28:52,440 just chatting about him the other day 8185 05:28:59,208 --> 05:28:56,160 who has um a proof of concept that he's 8186 05:29:01,970 --> 05:28:59,218 working on essentially having cameras to 8187 05:29:05,390 --> 05:29:01,980 uh with with AI of algorithms to 8188 05:29:07,250 --> 05:29:05,400 identify uh conventional objects but but 8189 05:29:09,050 --> 05:29:07,260 to have the cameras dedicated in a 8190 05:29:10,610 --> 05:29:09,060 portion of the sky so that it would 8191 05:29:14,570 --> 05:29:10,620 capture 8192 05:29:16,670 --> 05:29:14,580 objects I think uh you know there's all 8193 05:29:19,730 --> 05:29:16,680 kinds of projects like that which makes 8194 05:29:21,708 --> 05:29:19,740 sense and which are feasible and uh that 8195 05:29:23,390 --> 05:29:21,718 could have results 8196 05:29:25,010 --> 05:29:23,400 um you know I think there's a lot of 8197 05:29:27,190 --> 05:29:25,020 smart people out there with all kinds of 8198 05:29:29,330 --> 05:29:27,200 uh ideas you could try to capture 8199 05:29:31,670 --> 05:29:29,340 objects and other elements of the 8200 05:29:34,788 --> 05:29:31,680 electromagnetic spectrum 8201 05:29:36,708 --> 05:29:34,798 um whether it's IR or anything else and 8202 05:29:38,390 --> 05:29:36,718 that's one thing and you know the real 8203 05:29:40,850 --> 05:29:38,400 the real meat and potatoes comes down to 8204 05:29:42,948 --> 05:29:40,860 whether or not we can actually 8205 05:29:44,330 --> 05:29:42,958 unlock the secrecy and I'm a firm 8206 05:29:46,190 --> 05:29:44,340 believer that there's been a 8207 05:29:47,930 --> 05:29:46,200 long-standing cover-up conspiracy you 8208 05:29:50,868 --> 05:29:47,940 want to call it 8209 05:29:53,090 --> 05:29:50,878 um in which ET Tech has been acquired I 8210 05:29:54,830 --> 05:29:53,100 and I I'll just add I don't know how 8211 05:29:57,050 --> 05:29:54,840 much more time I have here but 8212 05:29:59,930 --> 05:29:57,060 I think that our species 8213 05:30:02,090 --> 05:29:59,940 uh you know we've existed as Homo 8214 05:30:05,208 --> 05:30:02,100 sapiens for about 300 000 years last 8215 05:30:07,190 --> 05:30:05,218 estimate from um paleontologists 8216 05:30:09,050 --> 05:30:07,200 and only in the last generation or so 8217 05:30:10,610 --> 05:30:09,060 have we been 8218 05:30:13,310 --> 05:30:10,620 maybe let's be generous and say the last 8219 05:30:14,930 --> 05:30:13,320 century have we really had a truly 8220 05:30:16,368 --> 05:30:14,940 modern society 8221 05:30:18,230 --> 05:30:16,378 you know up until then we were just 8222 05:30:20,990 --> 05:30:18,240 horses pulling wooden carts and not even 8223 05:30:23,030 --> 05:30:21,000 that so we're in a place right now that 8224 05:30:25,550 --> 05:30:23,040 if there's anyone out there who has the 8225 05:30:27,708 --> 05:30:25,560 ability to watch us I would be quite 8226 05:30:29,090 --> 05:30:27,718 sure that they will they're sure as heck 8227 05:30:30,708 --> 05:30:29,100 going to want to watch us right now 8228 05:30:33,530 --> 05:30:30,718 because we're about to LEAP right into 8229 05:30:36,530 --> 05:30:33,540 their world we're on the cusp of very 8230 05:30:38,810 --> 05:30:36,540 strong AI Quantum computing 8231 05:30:40,550 --> 05:30:38,820 uh genetic modification of the whole 8232 05:30:42,708 --> 05:30:40,560 thing I mean we're Reinventing our 8233 05:30:44,330 --> 05:30:42,718 species we're moving into a new phase of 8234 05:30:46,610 --> 05:30:44,340 human existence 8235 05:30:49,490 --> 05:30:46,620 we're going to want to know that 8236 05:30:50,330 --> 05:30:49,500 that was uh the Angels were chiming in 8237 05:30:52,490 --> 05:30:50,340 there 8238 05:30:54,770 --> 05:30:52,500 anyway so I think I think where an 8239 05:30:56,090 --> 05:30:54,780 object of uh 8240 05:30:58,310 --> 05:30:56,100 probably we've brought the whole 8241 05:30:59,990 --> 05:30:58,320 neighborhood in to check us out at this 8242 05:31:00,948 --> 05:31:00,000 particular time wouldn't surprise me at 8243 05:31:03,948 --> 05:31:00,958 all 8244 05:31:06,708 --> 05:31:03,958 I want to introduce Matt O'Dowd who is 8245 05:31:11,270 --> 05:31:06,718 the host of PBS space-time a professor 8246 05:31:13,128 --> 05:31:11,280 of physics as well as the launcher or 8247 05:31:16,190 --> 05:31:13,138 the filmmaker behind inventing reality 8248 05:31:17,690 --> 05:31:16,200 which is in its fundraising stage about 8249 05:31:19,430 --> 05:31:17,700 several of the topics that you've heard 8250 05:31:21,948 --> 05:31:19,440 on the toe channel that is what is 8251 05:31:24,170 --> 05:31:21,958 reality what is physics what is physics 8252 05:31:25,628 --> 05:31:24,180 relationship it's a consciousness 8253 05:31:27,850 --> 05:31:25,638 Matt 8254 05:31:30,708 --> 05:31:27,860 thank you thank you for coming on again 8255 05:31:34,788 --> 05:31:30,718 Kurt it is a pleasure to be here again I 8256 05:31:36,350 -->

05:32:31,610 --> 05:32:28,458 yeah 8280 05:32:33,530 --> 05:32:31,620 so so Brian are you able to stay for a 8281 05:32:36,350 --> 05:32:33,540 bit longer or you have to get going 8282 05:32:38,090 --> 05:32:36,360 yeah yeah I can stay until uh until I 8283 05:32:40,490 --> 05:32:38,100 get hit in the head with a nice Ice uh 8284 05:32:42,050 --> 05:32:40,500 great great a couple more minutes so 8285 05:32:44,270 --> 05:32:42,060 Richard so we're going to start taking 8286 05:32:45,890 --> 05:32:44,280 some questions from the audience and 8287 05:32:46,910 --> 05:32:45,900 well we should have been doing that the 8288 05:32:49,010 --> 05:32:46,920 whole time there are many questions 8289 05:32:50,930 --> 05:32:49,020 already but I'm saying that right now so 8290 05:32:52,730 --> 05:32:50,940 please because the rest are scrolled far 8291 05:32:55,310 --> 05:32:52,740 up I can't find them 8292 05:32:57,110 --> 05:32:55,320 one of them that came was what do you 8293 05:32:59,090 --> 05:32:57,120 think Richard this one's for you but 8294 05:33:00,410 --> 05:32:59,100 anyone else you can feel free to riff 8295 05:33:02,030 --> 05:33:00,420 off of Richard what do you think the 8296 05:33:05,090 --> 05:33:02,040 relationship is between some of these 8297 05:33:07,190 --> 05:33:05,100 ancient myths so religious myths and the 8298 05:33:08,570 --> 05:33:07,200 phenomenon 8299 05:33:10,368 --> 05:33:08,580 yeah I've been I've been on the show 8300 05:33:13,850 --> 05:33:10,378 Ancient Aliens about a million times but 8301 05:33:15,830 --> 05:33:13,860 I'm actually not someone who uh 8302 05:33:18,470 --> 05:33:15,840 really tries to make a lot of strong 8303 05:33:22,368 --> 05:33:18,480 connections between uh our ancient 8304 05:33:25,010 --> 05:33:22,378 history and E.T I'm I'm a very strong 8305 05:33:27,410 --> 05:33:25,020 student of ancient history and uh and 8306 05:33:30,830 --> 05:33:27,420 prehistory it's a big interest of mine 8307 05:33:32,090 --> 05:33:30,840 uh and also the origin of uh of myths in 8308 05:33:35,750 --> 05:33:32,100 our world 8309 05:33:37,610 --> 05:33:35,760 and uh whereas I do think that there's 8310 05:33:41,030 --> 05:33:37,620 there's reason to think that we've been 8311 05:33:43,430 --> 05:33:41,040 monitored uh by let's call them others 8312 05:33:46,250 --> 05:33:43,440 for a long time uh I think I've 8313 05:33:47,448 --> 05:33:46,260 characterized it as a fairly low level 8314 05:33:48,830 --> 05:33:47,458 thing I think it's totally different 8315 05:33:53,628 --> 05:33:48,840 than what we're dealing with now in the 8316 05:33:54,350 --> 05:33:53,638 in the 20th and 21st centuries so I um I 8317 05:33:56,750 --> 05:33:54,360 don't know if we really have enough 8318 05:33:58,010 --> 05:33:56,760 information to to make any of these 8319 05:34:00,230 --> 05:33:58,020 connections I think when people talk 8320 05:34:02,868 --> 05:34:00,240 about people like Zechariah sitchin I 8321 05:34:06,830 --> 05:34:02,878 think that was way way just off base 8322 05:34:10,610 --> 05:34:06,840 not a not really a supporter of his work 8323 05:34:12,890 --> 05:34:10,620 and I and I I'm very hesitant I guess 8324 05:34:14,570 --> 05:34:12,900 I'll just say to make strong connections 8325 05:34:16,070 --> 05:34:14,580 about that I'm not saying it's 8326 05:34:18,288 --> 05:34:16,080 impossible but 8327 05:34:19,730 --> 05:34:18,298 um I don't think I'm on board with most 8328 05:34:21,708 --> 05:34:19,740 of it 8329 05:34:24,350 --> 05:34:21,718 Matt have you have you been asked 8330 05:34:26,090 --> 05:34:24,360 publicly about your opinions on the UFO 8331 05:34:27,590 --> 05:34:26,100 phenomenon 8332 05:34:33,050 --> 05:34:27,600 not publicly 8333 05:34:34,490 --> 05:34:33,060 um I'm sure there have been some YouTube 8334 05:34:37,610 --> 05:34:34,500 comments but 8335 05:34:39,770 --> 05:34:37,620 uh are you are you saying that because 8336 05:34:43,368 --> 05:34:39,780 you're about to ask me or 8337 05:34:46,610 --> 05:34:43,378 preparing me yeah this is uh 8338 05:34:51,230 --> 05:34:48,110 you know those 8339 05:34:54,948 --> 05:34:51,240 um those fighter pilots uh extremely 8340 05:34:57,410 --> 05:34:54,958 highly trained uh 8341 05:35:00,830 --> 05:34:57,420 rational human beings 8342 05:35:03,430 --> 05:35:00,840 um and and and they saw some and 8343 05:35:06,350 --> 05:35:03,440 and we don't know what it is 8344 05:35:08,628 --> 05:35:06,360 and it you know apparently the Air Force 8345 05:35:09,410 --> 05:35:08,638 doesn't know what it is so I think I 8346 05:35:14,628 --> 05:35:09,420 think 8347 05:35:16,910 --> 05:35:14,638 flying objects that have not been 8348 05:35:18,890 --> 05:35:16,920 identified so 8349 05:35:21,708 --> 05:35:18,900 um so the question is 8350 05:35:26,750 --> 05:35:21,718 what are they uh 8351 05:35:29,930 --> 05:35:26,760 my gut instinct is to 8352 05:35:32,810 --> 05:35:29,940 hypothesize aliens last 8353 05:35:34,910 --> 05:35:32,820 but that is because really because I 8354 05:35:38,330 --> 05:35:34,920 wanted to be aliens 8355 05:35:40,788 --> 05:35:38,340 but I don't want to fool myself 8356 05:35:43,930 --> 05:35:40,798 or the exact opposite I don't want it to 8357 05:35:46,788 --> 05:35:43,940 be aliens but I think it is 8358 05:35:48,410 --> 05:35:46,798 why don't you want it to be aliens uh 8359 05:35:50,868 --> 05:35:48,420 I'm not really too crazy about the idea 8360 05:35:53,270 --> 05:35:50,878 of aliens being here 8361 05:35:55,550 --> 05:35:53,280 um not really in love with the idea but 8362 05:35:58,788 --> 05:35:55,560 uh I actually do think that that's what 8363 05:36:00,530 --> 05:35:58,798 we're dealing with I think uh 8364 05:36:03,470 --> 05:36:00,540 you know when I look at the long history 8365 05:36:04,310 --> 05:36:03,480 of the modern UFO phenomenon 8366 05:36:05,628 --> 05:36:04,320 um 8367 05:36:07,730 --> 05:36:05,638 you know everything that we know about 8368 05:36:09,230 --> 05:36:07,740 from the so-called Tic Tac UFO incident 8369 05:36:12,708 --> 05:36:09,240 of 2004 8370 05:36:14,330 --> 05:36:12,718 or the USS Roosevelt 2014 2015 in all of 8371 05:36:17,570 --> 05:36:14,340 these cases and then the elites to 8372 05:36:19,910 --> 05:36:17,580 Jeremy Corbell in 2019 2020. 8373 05:36:21,708 --> 05:36:19,920 that's all recent but those types of 8374 05:36:23,570 --> 05:36:21,718 events have gone on 8375 05:36:25,610 --> 05:36:23,580 they were going on in the 90s and in the 8376 05:36:28,368 --> 05:36:25,620 80s and in the 70s and 60s and 50s and 8377 05:36:31,010 --> 05:36:28,378 the 40s 1940s we have documents military 8378 05:36:33,230 --> 05:36:31,020 Declassified showing these objects or at 8379 05:36:34,430 --> 05:36:33,240 least having been tracked at 9 000 miles 8380 05:36:36,230 --> 05:36:34,440 per hour 8381 05:36:38,448 --> 05:36:36,240 what what the heck is that supposed to 8382 05:36:40,730 --> 05:36:38,458 be at high altitude 100 000 feet 8383 05:36:42,410 --> 05:36:40,740 altitude 8384 05:36:43,970 --> 05:36:42,420 um you know they had the other lights 8385 05:36:46,070 --> 05:36:43,980 that were very very good at measuring 8386 05:36:47,868 --> 05:36:46,080 speed and distance in Azimuth and so 8387 05:36:49,368 --> 05:36:47,878 forth and um 8388 05:36:50,150 --> 05:36:49,378 I trust their ability to know what they 8389 05:36:52,550 --> 05:36:50,160 were doing 8390 05:36:54,708 --> 05:36:52,560 so they came up with data that is not 8391 05:36:58,250 --> 05:36:54,718 easily comprehensible 8392 05:37:00,050 --> 05:36:58,260 unless there was a very very clandestine 8393 05:37:02,208 --> 05:37:00,060 science project that no one has known 8394 05:37:04,910 --> 05:37:02,218 about here 8395 05:37:07,730 --> 05:37:04,920 um that's that's got a global presence 8396 05:37:09,948 --> 05:37:07,740 and has had one since before the turn of 8397 05:37:11,930 --> 05:37:09,958 the middle of the 20th century 8398 05:37:14,270 --> 05:37:11,940 I don't know what else it could be and 8399 05:37:15,830 --> 05:37:14,280 in fact when you look at uh you know the 8400 05:37:20,810 --> 05:37:15,840 few classified studies that we have 8401 05:37:23,270 --> 05:37:20,820 access to or at least moderate access to 8402 05:37:24,530 --> 05:37:23,280 um within the US military you find 8403 05:37:25,550 --> 05:37:24,540 there's always factions that were 8404 05:37:27,350 --> 05:37:25,560 convinced that this was an 8405 05:37:29,690 --> 05:37:27,360 extraterrestrial or as they would say 8406 05:37:31,670 --> 05:37:29,700 interplanetary phenomenon that was 8407 05:37:33,410 --> 05:37:31,680 always a very significant group of 8408 05:37:35,510 --> 05:37:33,420 people 8409 05:37:37,250 --> 05:37:35,520 um and how deep does it go is a real 8410 05:37:38,510 --> 05:37:37,260 question so no I think it's actually 8411 05:37:42,410 --> 05:37:38,520 quite 8412 05:37:44,570 --> 05:37:42,420 a bit and I think that the ET hypothesis 8413 05:37:45,948 --> 05:37:44,580 is probably to me it makes the most 8414 05:37:47,810 --> 05:37:45,958 sense it makes more sense than anything 8415 05:37:51,650 --> 05:37:47,820 else that I can imagine 8416 05:37:53,990 --> 05:37:51,660 that's just me yeah I so 8417 05:37:56,330 --> 05:37:54,000 I I admit I haven't done 8418 05:37:56,930 --> 05:37:56,340 my due diligence 8419 05:37:58,610 --> 05:37:56,940 um 8420 05:38:00,770 --> 05:37:58,620 I've watched a few can you speak a bit 8421 05:38:03,110 --> 05:38:00,780 louder oh yeah sorry I I haven't done my 8422 05:38:04,430 --> 05:38:03,120 due diligence on this particular topic 8423 05:38:08,570 --> 05:38:04,440 um 8424 05:38:11,030 --> 05:38:08,580 uh there there is however a great uh 8425 05:38:13,610 --> 05:38:11,040 video by Joe Scott so I don't know if 8426 05:38:16,190 --> 05:38:13,620 you guys know Joe Scott he has a uh 8427 05:38:17,628 --> 05:38:16,200 science physics YouTube channel also and 8428 05:38:20,270 --> 05:38:17,638 he did a 8429 05:38:23,930 --> 05:38:20,280 uh what I thought sounded like a 8430 05:38:24,590 --> 05:38:23,940 compelling dissection of the UFO report 8431 05:38:25,910 --> 05:38:24,600 um 8432 05:38:28,430 --> 05:38:25,920 and 8433 05:38:33,890 --> 05:38:28,440 I got the sense that it was plausible 8434 05:38:36,170 --> 05:38:33,900 that it was a a light phenomenon 8435 05:38:38,448 --> 05:38:36,180 as opposed to being actual physical 8436 05:38:42,350 --> 05:38:38,458 matter traveling at that speed 8437 05:38:46,430 --> 05:38:42,360 um but like I said I you know you've 8438 05:38:48,110 --> 05:38:46,440 clearly uh read and researched far more 8439 05:38:50,090 --> 05:38:48,120 than I have so I don't want to pretend 8440 05:38:51,708 --> 05:38:50,100 like I know but I would I would 8441 05:38:54,650 --> 05:38:51,718 recommend that video and be curious 8442 05:38:58,368 --> 05:38:54,660 which report was he commenting on 8443 05:39:03,288 --> 05:38:58,378 this is a year ago the most recent UAP 8444 05:39:07,310 --> 05:39:05,270 so a question that I get asked plenty 8445 05:39:10,128 --> 05:39:07,320 and I'm curious to know Matt 8446 05:39:12,050 --> 05:39:10,138 Brian and also Richard your response to 8447 05:39:14,510 --> 05:39:12,060 is how can one 8448 05:39:16,610 --> 05:39:14,520 scientifically test this phenomenon 8449 05:39:18,890 --> 05:39:16,620 given that it's 8450 05:39:21,350 --> 05:39:18,900 unrepeatable 8451 05:39:23,448 --> 05:39:21,360 so what would be the best way one way is 8452 05:39:25,070 --> 05:39:23,458 to just reject the premise and say no it 8453 05:39:28,550 --> 05:39:25,080 is repeatable and then here's some way 8454 05:39:31,850 --> 05:39:28,560 but well what would Brian 8455 05:39:34,010 --> 05:39:31,860 yeah well I I yeah just uh I did did ask 8456 05:39:36,288 --> 05:39:34,020 Avi Loeb this very question multiple 8457 05:39:38,530 --> 05:39:36,298 times and I've never gotten a 8458 05:39:42,590 --> 05:39:38,540 satisfactory answer so he claims 8459 05:39:44,090 --> 05:39:42,600 of course uh Interstellar uh object uh 8460 05:39:47,030 --> 05:39:44,100 prepared by extraterrestrial 8461 05:39:49,610 --> 05:39:47,040 intelligence uh some star system that we 8462 05:39:51,590 --> 05:39:49,620 can't or you know reconcile with uh 8463 05:39:53,750 --> 05:39:51,600 because of the difficulty in orbital 8464 05:39:55,670 --> 05:39:53,760 mechanics and reconstructing it 8465 05:39:58,610 --> 05:39:55,680 we just do know that it's velocity is 8466 05:40:01,490 --> 05:39:58,620 consistent with origin or coming from an 8467 05:40:03,288 --> 05:40:01,500 extrasolar location so I said Avi look 8468 05:40:04,430 --> 05:40:03,298 you know if I had access to a 8469 05:40:06,230 --> 05:40:04,440 billionaire in the way that you have 8470 05:40:08,628 --> 05:40:06,240 access to a billionaire instead of 8471 05:40:12,170 --> 05:40:08,638 slingshotting you know a bunch of iPhone 8472 05:40:14,510 --> 05:40:12,180 cameras to proximus and Tory B I would 8473 05:40:17,090 --> 05:40:14,520 uh actually redirect them and and send 8474 05:40:18,650 --> 05:40:17,100 all my energy to go after omuamua uh 8475 05:40:20,930 --> 05:40:18,660 because he he's convinced that you know 8476 05:40:22,128 --> 05:40:20,940 over 90 which for Abby he's actually 8477 05:40:26,030 --> 05:40:22,138 going through the math he's not saying 8478 05:40:28,730 --> 05:40:26,040 ah 90 chance you know I flipped a dozen 8479 05:40:31,550 --> 05:40:28,740 coins and you know no he really has gone 8480 05:40:34,070 --> 05:40:31,560 through the math and scribes a very high 8481 05:40:36,110 --> 05:40:34,080 much greater than even odds to this 8482 05:40:38,930 --> 05:40:36,120 object's extraterrestrial origin 8483 05:40:40,010 --> 05:40:38,940 and um and I said well why don't you 8484 05:40:42,830 --> 05:40:40,020 convince 8485 05:40:44,570 --> 05:40:42,840 um uh you know Yuri Milner to give you 8486 05:40:46,910 --> 05:40:44,580 uh you know 10 million dollars to 8487 05:40:48,770 --> 05:40:46,920 immediately go after a muamu while it's 8488 05:40:51,110 --> 05:40:48,780 still in The Helio you know pause and 8489 05:40:53,090 --> 05:40:51,120 and it's still you know within our solar 8490 05:40:55,850 --> 05:40:53,100 systems you know nearest boundaries and 8491 05:40:58,788 --> 05:40:55,860 it's not so far out as going to four 8492 05:41:01,250 --> 05:40:58,798 light years away as it would be for 8493 05:41:04,788 --> 05:41:01,260 project Starship I said oh no no no no 8494 05:41:07,250 --> 05:41:04,798 one is uh characteristic uh you know uh 8495 05:41:09,170 --> 05:41:07,260 chastising voice he said no with Vera 8496 05:41:10,970 --> 05:41:09,180 Rubin we're going to discover Ruben 8497 05:41:13,750 --> 05:41:10,980 Observatory which is the largest kind of 8498 05:41:17,090 --> 05:41:13,760 it used to be called the LA lsst large 8499 05:41:20,750 --> 05:41:17,100 uh synaptic survey telescope in chela 8500 05:41:22,850 --> 05:41:20,760 it's a a meter class telescope and we'll 8501 05:41:24,288 --> 05:41:22,860 be using parts of it data and they'll be 8502 05:41:26,270 --> 05:41:24,298 using some of our data from the Simon's 8503 05:41:28,550 --> 05:41:26,280 Observatory down in Chile as well to 8504 05:41:30,590 --> 05:41:28,560 look for planet nine which is a totally 8505 05:41:31,850 --> 05:41:30,600 other side project of ours on the 8506 05:41:33,410 --> 05:41:31,860 Simon's observatory in addition to 8507 05:41:36,590 --> 05:41:33,420 looking for inflationary gravitational 8508 05:41:38,930 --> 05:41:36,600 waves anyway he said no we're going to 8509 05:41:40,910 --> 05:41:38,940 be basically filthy the sky is going to 8510 05:41:43,310 --> 05:41:40,920 be you know blotted out by how many 8511 05:41:45,530 --> 05:41:43,320 discoveries of these extrasolar objects 8512 05:41:47,208 --> 05:41:45,540 we can make but I said do you still do 8513 05:41:49,250 --> 05:41:47,218 you have a plan do you have confidence 8514 05:41:51,948 --> 05:41:49,260 this thing is could not be repeatable as 8515 05:41:54,050 --> 05:41:51,958 you said Kurt why not take your chance I 8516 05:41:56,390 --> 05:41:54,060 mean the number of like super anovas 8517 05:41:58,190 --> 05:41:56,400 we're overdue for about four supernovae 8518 05:41:59,510 --> 05:41:58,200 right Matt I mean in our galaxy we 8519 05:42:01,850 --> 05:41:59,520 should have had about you know a 8520 05:42:04,490 --> 05:42:01,860 supernova per Century last major one was 8521 05:42:06,948 --> 05:42:04,500 in you know 1594 you know Kepler 8522 05:42:18,850 --> 05:42:06,958 observed it so fortunately they don't 8523 05:42:24,128 --> 05:42:21,770 they don't line up and and all go at 8524 05:42:27,410 --> 05:42:24,138 once if they're like 8525 05:42:29,570 --> 05:42:27,420 okay so so in other words you know don't 8526 05:42:31,310 --> 05:42:29,580 don't you know wait for the next one to 8527 05:42:33,288 --> 05:42:31,320 come around because your math predicts 8528 05:42:35,150 --> 05:42:33,298 that it should go after the one the bird 8529 05:42:37,310 --> 05:42:35,160 in the hand and he's been kind of 8530 05:42:39,530 --> 05:42:37,320 dismissive of that I I sort of would 8531 05:42:41,930 --> 05:42:39,540 would say no if this is not repeatable 8532 05:42:45,170 --> 05:42:41,940 we have to make every effort to actually 8533 05:42:47,270 --> 05:42:45,180 confirm this object is is real 8534 05:42:49,490 --> 05:42:47,280 um and uh you know so he and I have a 8535 05:42:50,690 --> 05:42:49,500 friendly debate about that but yeah it 8536 05:42:53,090 --> 05:42:50,700 is true a lot of these things are 8537 05:42:56,090 --> 05:42:53,100 one-off events on the other hand if you 8538 05:42:57,010 --> 05:42:56,100 look back to like what was Aviation like 8539 05:43:01,610 --> 05:42:57,020 in 8540 05:43:02,990 --> 05:43:01,620 1922 so 100 years ago 1923 100 years ago 8541 05:43:05,090 --> 05:43:03,000 um you couldn't really get on an 8542 05:43:06,948 --> 05:43:05,100 airplane and get you know stuck by 8543 05:43:08,628 --> 05:43:06,958 Southwest I mean you could you could get 8544 05:43:10,850 --> 05:43:08,638 on an airplane if you had a lot of money 8545 05:43:13,310 --> 05:43:10,860 and a Barnstormer happened to come by 8546 05:43:14,868 --> 05:43:13,320 your neighborhood uh Airfield and just 8547 05:43:16,788 --> 05:43:14,878 pick you up and take you up for five 8548 05:43:18,650 --> 05:43:16,798 minutes for a wing walk 8549 05:43:20,330 --> 05:43:18,660 um and and nowadays of course it's 8550 05:43:23,090 --> 05:43:20,340 incredibly common unless you're on 8551 05:43:26,208 --> 05:43:23,100 Southwest as I said uh but the the fact 8552 05:43:28,970 --> 05:43:26,218 is uh where if we're in this you know 8553 05:43:31,010 --> 05:43:28,980 nascence of a technology as perhaps 8554 05:43:33,170 --> 05:43:31,020 Richard is is hinting at you know that 8555 05:43:34,910 --> 05:43:33,180 it's going to be this explosion you know 8556 05:43:36,830 --> 05:43:34,920 I would ask the kind of Nancy Kerrigan 8557 05:43:40,490 --> 05:43:36,840 question you know why now what you know 8558 05:43:42,050 --> 05:43:40,500 why why us you know why here and it's 8559 05:43:42,770 --> 05:43:42,060 not really clear 8560 05:43:46,070 --> 05:43:42,780 um 8561 05:43:48,410 --> 05:43:46,080 as the uh you know as the technological 8562 05:43:50,330 --> 05:43:48,420 you know blueprint of us going forward I 8563 05:43:52,310 --> 05:43:50,340 do believe we'll be visiting Mars you 8564 05:43:53,930 --> 05:43:52,320 know in the future and it's not so 8565 05:43:55,548 --> 05:43:53,940 far-fetched to do that because we are in 8566 05:43:57,830 --> 05:43:55,558 that barnstorming phase of space flight 8567 05:43:59,330 --> 05:43:57,840 so in 100 years from now on you know 8568 05:44:01,610 --> 05:43:59,340 when Kurt's great-grandchildren 8569 05:44:03,110 --> 05:44:01,620 rehearsing hosting you know Theory of 8570 05:44:05,750 --> 05:44:03,120 Everything You know the the second 8571 05:44:08,330 --> 05:44:05,760 generation third generation then they'll 8572 05:44:10,490 --> 05:44:08,340 be talking about it but would it be 8573 05:44:12,650 --> 05:44:10,500 possible that there's a there's a 8574 05:44:13,788 --> 05:44:12,660 there's a you know Mass Evolution and 8575 05:44:15,830 --> 05:44:13,798 mass 8576 05:44:17,628 --> 05:44:15,840 um sightings and actual encounters and 8577 05:44:20,270 --> 05:44:17,638 why would that be happening now as 8578 05:44:22,190 --> 05:44:20,280 opposed to 400 years ago or a thousand 8579 05:44:24,170 --> 05:44:22,200 years from now and I know I've heard 8580 05:44:27,948 --> 05:44:24,180 some of the arguments for it but curious 8581 05:44:34,250 --> 05:44:30,910 Matt so to answer the first question 8582 05:44:35,288 --> 05:44:34,260 what do we do for a non-repeatable event 8583 05:44:38,990 --> 05:44:35,298 that 8584 05:44:41,948 --> 05:44:39,000 is how do we test for it I mean it you 8585 05:44:44,990 --> 05:44:41,958 know if the stories about UFOs coming 8586 05:44:47,410 --> 05:44:45,000 regularly uh true then it's a repeatable 8587 05:44:49,670 --> 05:44:47,420 event you just don't know when and 8588 05:44:53,690 --> 05:44:49,680 presumably these things are made of some 8589 05:44:56,208 --> 05:44:53,700 kind of matter so we might build uh 8590 05:44:57,730 --> 05:44:56,218 various detectors radar-like things and 8591 05:45:00,048 --> 05:44:57,740 put them across the planet to detect 8592 05:45:02,030 --> 05:45:00,058 objects made of matter flying around and 8593 05:45:06,010 --> 05:45:02,040 and indeed we have 8594 05:45:09,048 --> 05:45:06,020 that across the globe who have 8595 05:45:11,628 --> 05:45:09,058 objects built to detect 8596 05:45:15,110 --> 05:45:11,638 you know icbms 8597 05:45:17,330 --> 05:45:15,120 um traveling between the continents uh 8598 05:45:19,490 --> 05:45:17,340 so 8599 05:45:21,830 --> 05:45:19,500 that I mean we we have the technology to 8600 05:45:24,890 --> 05:45:21,840 detect these things and and so 8601 05:45:26,510 --> 05:45:24,900 this is why I think it's 8602 05:45:28,570 --> 05:45:26,520 you know in order for us to say we 8603 05:45:31,670 --> 05:45:28,580 haven't detected them it 8604 05:45:35,628 --> 05:45:31,680 requires some kind of very high level 8605 05:45:39,830 --> 05:45:35,638 and very very consistent conspiracy and 8606 05:45:42,410 --> 05:45:39,840 a a conspiracy of a consistency that I I 8607 05:45:46,310 --> 05:45:42,420 don't think our governments have shown 8608 05:45:47,690 --> 05:45:46,320 the competence to be able to sustain you 8609 05:45:50,750 --> 05:45:47,700 know across 8610 05:45:54,410 --> 05:45:50,760 you know multiple election Cycles 8611 05:45:57,350 --> 05:45:54,420 um you know and across multiple Nations 8612 05:46:00,770 --> 05:45:59,570 if these things aren't detectable by our 8613 05:46:02,750 --> 05:46:00,780 current technology I mean they clear 8614 05:46:04,548 --> 05:46:02,760 they're clearly detectable from their 8615 05:46:06,350 --> 05:46:04,558 light because they're seen 8616 05:46:09,110 --> 05:46:06,360 uh so they're at least detectable that 8617 05:46:12,288 --> 05:46:09,120 way perhaps they they hide from radio so 8618 05:46:14,448 --> 05:46:12,298 you know we could scan the sky 8619 05:46:16,670 --> 05:46:14,458 um more thoroughly than we are but I 8620 05:46:20,750 --> 05:46:16,680 feel like 8621 05:46:23,090 --> 05:46:20,760 bit about at the pattern of of when 8622 05:46:25,190 --> 05:46:23,100 these things are detected and who by and 8623 05:46:26,448 --> 05:46:25,200 you can do a numbers game you know if 8624 05:46:30,170 --> 05:46:26,458 these things are detected with this 8625 05:46:31,690 --> 05:46:30,180 frequency by Air Force pilots and by 8626 05:46:34,128 --> 05:46:31,700 um you know 8627 05:46:36,670 --> 05:46:34,138 midwesterners and and whoever sees them 8628 05:46:40,070 --> 05:46:36,680 more frequently then it's not hard to 8629 05:46:42,590 --> 05:46:40,080 extrapolate to estimate how often you 8630 05:46:44,570 --> 05:46:42,600 know the average person would see a UFO 8631 05:46:45,830 --> 05:46:44,580 and you can ask whether that happens you 8632 05:46:47,330 --> 05:46:45,840 can ask whether 8633 05:46:49,548 --> 05:46:47,340 they're 8634 05:46:51,530 --> 05:46:49,558 um their sightings are somehow 8635 05:46:54,410 --> 05:46:51,540 correlated 8636 05:46:59,150 --> 05:46:54,420 in a way that points you to some other 8637 05:47:03,940 --> 05:46:59,160 potential uh origin for these sightings 8638 05:47:04,850 --> 05:47:03,950 um as for things like um 8639 05:47:05,990 --> 05:47:04,860 [Applause] 8640 05:47:10,970 --> 05:47:06,000 um 8641 05:47:12,590 --> 05:47:10,980 I I not only do I not think was 8642 05:47:15,288 --> 05:47:12,600 technology 8643 05:47:18,368 --> 05:47:15,298 uh I I think it's impossible for it to 8644 05:47:23,690 --> 05:47:18,378 have been Technology based on the very 8645 05:47:25,070 --> 05:47:23,700 numbers that Avi lope has crunched uh I 8646 05:47:28,128 --> 05:47:25,080 I did the calculation I can't remember 8647 05:47:30,470 --> 05:47:28,138 what it was but but I think the I think 8648 05:47:32,990 --> 05:47:30,480 RV statement was that okay so this thing 8649 05:47:35,030 --> 05:47:33,000 is tumbling it must be a defunct probe 8650 05:47:37,310 --> 05:47:35,040 that is that is now tumbling because 8651 05:47:38,208 --> 05:47:37,320 it's lost its power or whatever 8652 05:47:40,610 --> 05:47:38,218 um 8653 05:47:43,730 --> 05:47:40,620 therefore it's not that and if it's not 8654 05:47:46,190 --> 05:47:43,740 guided then you can estimate the 8655 05:47:47,510 --> 05:47:46,200 abundance of defunct probes in the 8656 05:47:49,250 --> 05:47:47,520 interstellar space in order for one of 8657 05:47:52,430 --> 05:47:49,260 them to have fallen into our solar 8658 05:47:55,070 --> 05:47:52,440 system and the number you get is 8659 05:47:58,310 --> 05:47:55,080 insane in that you would need you know 8660 05:48:00,048 --> 05:47:58,320 more uh defunct Interstellar probes than 8661 05:48:02,208 --> 05:48:00,058 there are 8662 05:48:05,390 --> 05:48:02,218 ordinary rocks floating between the 8663 05:48:09,830 --> 05:48:05,400 stars and and so you know I think 8664 05:48:11,990 --> 05:48:09,840 uh although Avi is a brilliant scientist 8665 05:48:13,368 --> 05:48:12,000 I I think 8666 05:48:16,548 --> 05:48:13,378 um 8667 05:48:19,930 --> 05:48:16,558 he may be expressing more confidence in 8668 05:48:23,750 --> 05:48:19,940 his belief in this than he actually has 8669 05:48:26,150 --> 05:48:23,760 yeah you're patiently waiting so please 8670 05:48:29,750 --> 05:48:26,160 what's your answer to this question and 8671 05:48:31,490 --> 05:48:29,760 then also Tyler nikolaj and Sorenson I 8672 05:48:32,948 --> 05:48:31,500 know that you're waiting so patiently in 8673 05:48:35,030 --> 05:48:32,958 the waiting room I'm Gonna Let You in 8674 05:48:37,730 --> 05:48:35,040 I'll be quick then 8675 05:48:39,170 --> 05:48:37,740 speaking as the non-scientist here 8676 05:48:41,030 --> 05:48:39,180 um I don't really have a qualified 8677 05:48:42,830 --> 05:48:41,040 scientific well your husband of this but 8678 05:48:44,628 --> 05:48:42,840 I have more knowledge than all of us put 8679 05:48:46,490 --> 05:48:44,638 together on this topic 8680 05:48:49,788 --> 05:48:46,500 uh what I what I would say is what we 8681 05:48:51,590 --> 05:48:49,798 need is is reliable data capture so uh 8682 05:48:53,510 --> 05:48:51,600 the idea that I was expressing earlier 8683 05:48:55,670 --> 05:48:53,520 by I wish I could recall this particular 8684 05:48:59,048 --> 05:48:55,680 German scientist name but there's just a 8685 05:49:02,270 --> 05:48:59,058 number of these types of ideas of of 8686 05:49:04,310 --> 05:49:02,280 capturing data and then studying it um 8687 05:49:06,048 --> 05:49:04,320 now yeah I remember speaking with 8688 05:49:08,810 --> 05:49:06,058 Christopher Mellon about this who wrote 8689 05:49:10,910 --> 05:49:08,820 a very good piece about uh less than a 8690 05:49:12,708 --> 05:49:10,920 year ago calling out the United States 8691 05:49:17,150 --> 05:49:12,718 Air Force for its 8692 05:49:19,610 --> 05:49:17,160 absolute uh opaqueness regarding 8693 05:49:21,650 --> 05:49:19,620 the data that he he said he knows that 8694 05:49:24,230 --> 05:49:21,660 it has relating to this subject and was 8695 05:49:27,170 --> 05:49:24,240 referencing a large number of U.S 8696 05:49:29,270 --> 05:49:27,180 satellite systems that he said these are 8697 05:49:31,070 --> 05:49:29,280 perfectly designed for capturing 8698 05:49:32,810 --> 05:49:31,080 anomalous data and he says and I'm 8699 05:49:34,910 --> 05:49:32,820 absolutely certain they've done that but 8700 05:49:37,490 --> 05:49:34,920 we don't have access to that information 8701 05:49:39,948 --> 05:49:37,500 so I think you know it's it's not 8702 05:49:41,868 --> 05:49:39,958 repeatable as a phenomenon we've known 8703 05:49:43,070 --> 05:49:41,878 this for a long time I mean the problem 8704 05:49:44,930 --> 05:49:43,080 with science 8705 05:49:47,270 --> 05:49:44,940 correct me guys if I'm wrong here but 8706 05:49:49,010 --> 05:49:47,280 you know when you're doing science you 8707 05:49:51,170 --> 05:49:49,020 you the scientists are assuming that 8708 05:49:52,368 --> 05:49:51,180 you're in charge of the experiment uh 8709 05:49:54,350 --> 05:49:52,378 but if there's an intelligence that's 8710 05:49:56,090 --> 05:49:54,360 beyond your own uh it might be very 8711 05:49:57,350 --> 05:49:56,100 difficult to do that you might be 8712 05:49:58,970 --> 05:49:57,360 dealing with intelligence that doesn't 8713 05:50:01,368 --> 05:49:58,980 want to play the same game that you want 8714 05:50:03,530 --> 05:50:01,378 to play and might make it difficult if 8715 05:50:05,810 --> 05:50:03,540 that is the case if we're not at the top 8716 05:50:09,530 --> 05:50:05,820 of the the intellectual food chain here 8717 05:50:11,868 --> 05:50:09,540 in our analysis of something what is the 8718 05:50:13,310 --> 05:50:11,878 likelihood that a scientist is going to 8719 05:50:15,770 --> 05:50:13,320 be able to get you know it's one thing 8720 05:50:18,110 --> 05:50:15,780 if you're studying a virus in a and a 8721 05:50:19,788 --> 05:50:18,120 microscope that that'll behave more or 8722 05:50:21,948 --> 05:50:19,798 less the way you expect it to but I 8723 05:50:24,470 --> 05:50:21,958 don't know if highly intelligent 8724 05:50:26,930 --> 05:50:24,480 presumably extremely Advanced aliens are 8725 05:50:28,670 --> 05:50:26,940 going to play by our rules so I don't 8726 05:50:31,190 --> 05:50:28,680 know if that causes a problem in terms 8727 05:50:34,430 --> 05:50:31,200 of scientific analysis but I do think 8728 05:50:37,250 --> 05:50:34,440 data capture and historical analysis are 8729 05:50:39,230 --> 05:50:37,260 always going to be important my field is 8730 05:50:42,350 --> 05:50:39,240 my study is out of History I know that 8731 05:50:43,850 --> 05:50:42,360 very well and and the only thing that I 8732 05:50:47,090 --> 05:50:43,860 can say 8733 05:50:48,288 --> 05:50:47,100 pretty confidently is that the major 8734 05:50:50,448 --> 05:50:48,298 governments and National Security 8735 05:50:51,948 --> 05:50:50,458 establishments around this world have 8736 05:50:55,250 --> 05:50:51,958 engaged with this phenomenon and have 8737 05:50:59,090 --> 05:50:55,260 been utterly befuddled by it or Worse 8738 05:51:00,590 --> 05:50:59,100 really concerned and um yeah I mean I 8739 05:51:02,750 --> 05:51:00,600 have to kind of agree with 8740 05:51:04,490 --> 05:51:02,760 I figured Matt though in some level you 8741 05:51:07,128 --> 05:51:04,500 know three years ago exactly I was at a 8742 05:51:09,770 --> 05:51:07,138 Shabbat some friends 8743 05:51:10,610 --> 05:51:09,780 um one of my uh seat mates was saying ah 8744 05:51:12,770 --> 05:51:10,620 you know what do you have looking 8745 05:51:16,190 --> 05:51:12,780 forward to in 2020 I said I was invited 8746 05:51:18,708 --> 05:51:16,200 to visit the Tibet Ali CMB observatory 8747 05:51:20,150 --> 05:51:18,718 in Tibet never been to China I'm looking 8748 05:51:21,948 --> 05:51:20,160 forward to it he said ah you might want 8749 05:51:24,650 --> 05:51:21,958 to think twice about that I heard about 8750 05:51:25,788 --> 05:51:24,660 this virus maybe I was born in a couple 8751 05:51:27,470 --> 05:51:25,798 of months when are you thinking of going 8752 05:51:30,170 --> 05:51:27,480 I said April 8753 05:51:32,930 --> 05:51:30,180 I maybe wait until June and here we are 8754 05:51:35,030 --> 05:51:32,940 three years later I'm into that 8755 05:51:37,010 --> 05:51:35,040 um Kurt I need to sign off I

UFO topic 8794 05:53:00,830 --> 05:52:58,860 if you're in the UFO topic then Richard 8795 05:53:03,110 --> 05:53:00,840 Dolan's name is not as well it's 8796 05:53:05,030 --> 05:53:03,120 extremely

get an 8808 05:53:32,810 --> 05:53:30,240 overview then if you want to delve 8809 05:53:35,690 --> 05:53:32,820 deeper you can go to books or articles 8810 05:53:38,270 --> 05:53:35,700 or even

8867 05:55:46,250 --> 05:55:44,638 videos please 8868 05:55:48,470 --> 05:55:46,260 what am I up to 8869 05:55:50,868 --> 05:55:48,480 um I'm rewriting the back end of my book 8870 05:55:53,330 --> 05:55:50,878 in plain sight because there's a new 8871 05:55:56,770 --> 05:55:53,340 edition coming out in 2023 8872 05:56:00,410 --> 05:55:56,780 and so much has happened in the past um 8873 05:56:01,190 --> 05:56:00,420 what 18 to 21 months since I published 8874 05:56:03,948 --> 05:56:01,200 the book 8875 05:56:05,868 --> 05:56:03,958 that I uh I think it needs an update uh 8876 05:56:07,548 --> 05:56:05,878 in fact I was I was actually I was 8877 05:56:10,610 --> 05:56:07,558 getting quite pessimistic towards the 8878 05:56:12,470 --> 05:56:10,620 end of 2022 because I was thinking that 8879 05:56:14,990 --> 05:56:12,480 yes we're all going to get snowed 8880 05:56:17,208 --> 05:56:15,000 there's really no desire at all for any 8881 05:56:18,948 --> 05:56:17,218 kind of truthful disclosure about what 8882 05:56:20,930 --> 05:56:18,958 it is whatever it is that the US 8883 05:56:22,010 --> 05:56:20,940 government knows if anything about the 8884 05:56:24,830 --> 05:56:22,020 phenomenon 8885 05:56:26,990 --> 05:56:24,840 and then as I was going through just 8886 05:56:31,368 --> 05:56:27,000 starting to think about all the things 8887 05:56:35,270 --> 05:56:31,378 that have happened since kind of um 8888 05:56:37,070 --> 05:56:35,280 you know the 2020 period it's quite 8889 05:56:38,810 --> 05:56:37,080 amazing really I mean there's been a 8890 05:56:41,930 --> 05:56:38,820 huge number of developments that give me 8891 05:56:45,170 --> 05:56:41,940 cause for optimism and and also I mean 8892 05:56:48,048 --> 05:56:45,180 I'm so privileged I've I I I know Matt 8893 05:56:49,490 --> 05:56:48,058 so worker because I've actually started 8894 05:56:51,530 --> 05:56:49,500 trying to understand physics by 8895 05:56:54,830 --> 05:56:51,540 following following some of Matt's work 8896 05:56:56,628 --> 05:56:54,840 frankly and as a as a journalist who's 8897 05:56:59,810 --> 05:56:56,638 somewhat deficient in understanding 8898 05:57:01,310 --> 05:56:59,820 physics and Mathematics I uh I I take my 8899 05:57:02,990 --> 05:57:01,320 head off to you good sir because you've 8900 05:57:05,390 --> 05:57:03,000 been able to popularize the subject 8901 05:57:07,850 --> 05:57:05,400 matter that I keenly think I need to 8902 05:57:09,288 --> 05:57:07,860 understand and uh I'm kind of a fanboy 8903 05:57:11,510 --> 05:57:09,298 of yours so it's a real privilege to 8904 05:57:14,570 --> 05:57:11,520 meet you that's that's really wonderful 8905 05:57:18,530 --> 05:57:14,580 to hear um it's always nice to know that 8906 05:57:25,010 --> 05:57:20,930 yeah because you never know you know we 8907 05:57:27,708 --> 05:57:25,020 film in a a room staring at a camera 8908 05:57:29,750 --> 05:57:27,718 um there's no direct contact with anyone 8909 05:57:32,030 --> 05:57:29,760 that we're that I'm speaking to and so 8910 05:57:35,208 --> 05:57:32,040 hearing this sort of thing is 8911 05:57:36,890 --> 05:57:35,218 it's uplifting but even if not 8912 05:57:39,170 --> 05:57:36,900 do you still feel like you're having a 8913 05:57:41,090 --> 05:57:39,180 tremendous amount of fun 8914 05:57:42,410 --> 05:57:41,100 so for me at least like I'm having fun 8915 05:57:44,868 --> 05:57:42,420 right now I'm having fun whenever I 8916 05:57:47,270 --> 05:57:44,878 speak to guests like Ross solo Matt solo 8917 05:57:49,190 --> 05:57:47,280 even if it wasn't seen by many people I 8918 05:57:50,930 --> 05:57:49,200 wouldn't put it out and it's a 8919 05:57:54,708 --> 05:57:50,940 ridiculous frequently but thing to do is 8920 05:57:57,350 --> 05:57:54,718 a job and I'm grateful to be able to 8921 05:57:59,930 --> 05:57:57,360 very much just to follow curiosity 8922 05:58:02,628 --> 05:57:59,940 professionally 8923 05:58:05,150 --> 05:58:02,638 Ross you also have a podcast 8924 05:58:08,090 --> 05:58:05,160 can you state the name I do yes myself 8925 05:58:10,490 --> 05:58:08,100 and Bryce zabel my colleague in crime 8926 05:58:13,190 --> 05:58:10,500 Bryce is based in Los Angeles and he's a 8927 05:58:15,708 --> 05:58:13,200 a very well respected Hollywood uh 8928 05:58:18,410 --> 05:58:15,718 producer and screenwriter he's also 8929 05:58:23,750 --> 05:58:18,420 responsible for the Dark Skies series 8930 05:58:27,230 --> 05:58:23,760 and um uh he and I do a podcast called 8931 05:58:30,410 --> 05:58:27,240 need to know which is I guess an attempt 8932 05:58:33,048 --> 05:58:30,420 at a journalistic analysis uh news 8933 05:58:34,390 --> 05:58:33,058 program that looks at the phenomenon in 8934 05:58:37,208 --> 05:58:34,400 his 8935 05:58:40,250 --> 05:58:37,218 journalistically uh open eyed open 8936 05:58:43,368 --> 05:58:40,260 open-minded way as possible 8937 05:58:45,708 --> 05:58:43,378 um and uh it's uh I'm happy to say it's 8938 05:58:48,410 --> 05:58:45,718 thriving uh the the level of public 8939 05:58:51,170 --> 05:58:48,420 interest at the moment in the in the 8940 05:58:53,990 --> 05:58:51,180 phenomenon of uaps if there is such a 8941 05:58:58,070 --> 05:58:54,000 term this um is absolutely amazing I I 8942 05:59:00,170 --> 05:58:58,080 have to admit to Kurt I I um I almost 8943 05:59:03,830 --> 05:59:00,180 missed your invitation to this event 8944 05:59:05,930 --> 05:59:03,840 because I have had so many emails and 8945 05:59:08,448 --> 05:59:05,940 messages from people from all over the 8946 05:59:10,788 --> 05:59:08,458 world who who seem to think that this 8947 05:59:12,770 --> 05:59:10,798 journalist in Australia has incredible 8948 05:59:15,470 --> 05:59:12,780 resources to be able to investigate 8949 05:59:18,590 --> 05:59:15,480 stuff and people are sending the 8950 05:59:21,470 --> 05:59:18,600 original documents and witness accounts 8951 05:59:23,448 --> 05:59:21,480 and statements and uh it's it's all a 8952 05:59:27,350 --> 05:59:23,458 bit overwhelming but also it's it's it's 8953 05:59:28,610 --> 05:59:27,360 flattering because what it recognizes is 8954 05:59:30,650 --> 05:59:28,620 something that I think is really 8955 05:59:35,330 --> 05:59:30,660 deficient at the moment which is that 8956 05:59:39,110 --> 05:59:35,340 there is a a real shortage of objective 8957 05:59:41,030 --> 05:59:39,120 analytical news media engaging with what 8958 05:59:44,208 --> 05:59:41,040 I think is the biggest story of the 8959 05:59:46,128 --> 05:59:44,218 moment I mean I I'm I'm excited by 8960 05:59:49,548 --> 05:59:46,138 what's going on in modern science right 8961 05:59:51,110 --> 05:59:49,558 now I I love I'm just such a fan of the 8962 05:59:54,288 --> 05:59:51,120 stuff coming out of the James Webb 8963 05:59:56,690 --> 05:59:54,298 Telescope and um it's it's so exciting 8964 05:59:58,670 --> 05:59:56,700 to see this Cutting Edge technology 8965 06:00:01,850 --> 05:59:58,680 revealing stuff about the universe that 8966 06:00:04,670 --> 06:00:01,860 we don't know and how could people not 8967 06:00:07,330 --> 06:00:04,680 be engaged in a similar in a similar way 8968 06:00:10,070 --> 06:00:07,340 with what's being 8969 06:00:12,230 --> 06:00:10,080 somewhat begrudgingly admitted by the 8970 06:00:14,448 --> 06:00:12,240 United States government and to elicit 8971 06:00:16,788 --> 06:00:14,458 agree by other governments that there is 8972 06:00:18,410 --> 06:00:16,798 a phenomenon a mystery art there that 8973 06:00:20,330 --> 06:00:18,420 they don't understand 8974 06:00:22,670 --> 06:00:20,340 and none of us are saying it's little 8975 06:00:24,890 --> 06:00:22,680 green aliens despite what Mr Jenkins of 8976 06:00:27,288 --> 06:00:24,900 the Wall Street Journal or Mr Barnes of 8977 06:00:29,030 --> 06:00:27,298 the New York Times say frankly we just 8978 06:00:31,010 --> 06:00:29,040 don't know that there's a there's a 8979 06:00:33,288 --> 06:00:31,020 phenomenon which is a genuine mystery 8980 06:00:35,570 --> 06:00:33,298 that is confounding the best brains in 8981 06:00:38,030 --> 06:00:35,580 the in the Pentagon and the intelligence 8982 06:00:40,730 --> 06:00:38,040 community and I can tell you it's also 8983 06:00:42,470 --> 06:00:40,740 befuddling people in our um intelligence 8984 06:00:44,030 --> 06:00:42,480 services and defense community in 8985 06:00:46,670 --> 06:00:44,040 Australia even though they don't want to 8986 06:00:49,010 --> 06:00:46,680 talk about it and um it's it's 8987 06:00:51,470 --> 06:00:49,020 fascinating because 8988 06:00:53,690 --> 06:00:51,480 there is something out there that is 8989 06:00:55,788 --> 06:00:53,700 worthy of investigation and ultimately 8990 06:00:58,490 --> 06:00:55,798 at the heart of it good science as we 8991 06:01:00,590 --> 06:00:58,500 all know is about being willing to 8992 06:01:03,288 --> 06:01:00,600 engage with 8993 06:01:07,730 --> 06:01:03,298 the unknown and try and understand it 8994 06:01:10,730 --> 06:01:07,740 and uh I I think 2023 promises to be 8995 06:01:13,010 --> 06:01:10,740 quite an exciting year 8996 06:01:15,470 --> 06:01:13,020 speaking of the unknown these the 8997 06:01:18,470 --> 06:01:15,480 following threes are Taylor and Sorensen 8998 06:01:20,090 --> 06:01:18,480 and nikolaj they may be unknown to the 8999 06:01:21,948 --> 06:01:20,100 majority of the people here and they 9000 06:01:23,690 --> 06:01:21,958 shouldn't be so please I'm going to get 9001 06:01:26,150 --> 06:01:23,700 you all to introduce yourselves and give 9002 06:01:27,890 --> 06:01:26,160 a bit a brief overview as to what your 9003 06:01:29,270 --> 06:01:27,900 submission to the contest was and then 9004 06:01:32,150 --> 06:01:29,280 if you have any questions for Matt or 9005 06:01:34,670 --> 06:01:32,160 Ross please please ask so Tyler starting 9006 06:01:37,430 --> 06:01:34,680 with you then Sorensen then nikolaj and 9007 06:01:43,690 --> 06:01:39,530 uh yeah thank you for having me on here 9008 06:01:46,850 --> 06:01:43,700 today uh my submission was about 9009 06:01:49,368 --> 06:01:46,860 what uh a Theory of Everything Is 9010 06:01:50,510 --> 06:01:49,378 essentially and what the process is like 9011 06:01:53,570 --> 06:01:50,520 of 9012 06:01:56,570 --> 06:01:53,580 Pro developing one and proposing one and 9013 06:01:59,090 --> 06:01:56,580 it's quite a unique uh experience and it 9014 06:02:02,270 --> 06:01:59,100 leads to a lot of lessons that I don't 9015 06:02:04,670 --> 06:02:02,280 think can really be uh 9016 06:02:08,570 --> 06:02:04,680 learned outside of that process so that 9017 06:02:10,010 --> 06:02:08,580 was what my uh my entry primarily 9018 06:02:11,628 --> 06:02:10,020 focused on 9019 06:02:13,850 --> 06:02:11,638 it was called theories of everything a 9020 06:02:15,890 --> 06:02:13,860 how-to guide 9021 06:02:17,208 --> 06:02:15,900 okay so I'll place that again in the 9022 06:02:19,010 --> 06:02:17,218 description I'll try and pin it well 9023 06:02:23,628 --> 06:02:19,020 right now in Sorensen 9024 06:02:26,448 --> 06:02:23,638 hello can you hear me yes okay and my 9025 06:02:29,150 --> 06:02:26,458 submission is called time independent 9026 06:02:33,070 --> 06:02:29,160 solution to a electron orientation 9027 06:02:35,868 --> 06:02:33,080 and it starts I started by 9028 06:02:37,310 --> 06:02:35,878 surviving some a little round 9029 06:02:41,150 --> 06:02:37,320 questions 9030 06:02:43,810 --> 06:02:41,160 and and seeing that instead of using a 9031 06:02:47,208 --> 06:02:43,820 gate condition you can define a electric 9032 06:02:51,708 --> 06:02:47,218 time component 9033 06:02:53,750 --> 06:02:51,718 and then uh yeah and then this when you 9034 06:02:56,090 --> 06:02:53,760 use this time command you get some 9035 06:02:59,810 --> 06:02:56,100 Quantum like effects 9036 06:03:02,288 --> 06:02:59,820 in electrical management and then I 9037 06:03:05,570 --> 06:03:02,298 could be aware ladder and 9038 06:03:07,490 --> 06:03:05,580 find some time independent solutions for 9039 06:03:10,788 --> 06:03:07,500 for this 9040 06:03:18,110 --> 06:03:12,590 thank you 9041 06:03:19,548 --> 06:03:18,120 I'm mispronouncing your name and if I 9042 06:03:22,310 --> 06:03:19,558 don't think I've met any of you Tyler 9043 06:03:30,890 --> 06:03:22,320 we've spoken but I haven't met you so 9044 06:03:36,170 --> 06:03:33,410 great great Nikolai 9045 06:03:38,150 --> 06:03:36,180 yeah well I'm from Denmark so it's 9046 06:03:41,890 --> 06:03:38,160 pronounced Naval life but it's it's not 9047 06:03:47,030 --> 06:03:44,990 and well thank you for always it's an 9048 06:03:50,048 --> 06:03:47,040 excellent idea to this could thank you a 9049 06:03:53,570 --> 06:03:50,058 lot well I'm I'm 9050 06:03:57,350 --> 06:03:53,580 uh I've done something with different uh 9051 06:04:01,430 --> 06:03:57,360 I've tried to sketch a model for 9052 06:04:03,890 --> 06:04:01,440 fundamental nature reality but it's uh 9053 06:04:05,590 --> 06:04:03,900 well it's an it's a physical idealistic 9054 06:04:08,390 --> 06:04:05,600 model it's 9055 06:04:12,170 --> 06:04:08,400 it has some similarities with another 9056 06:04:15,890 --> 06:04:12,180 Castro's use I think and it's based on a 9057 06:04:19,970 --> 06:04:15,900 paper that was published last year and 9058 06:04:24,730 --> 06:04:19,980 and I have uh I've taken some elements 9059 06:04:28,430 --> 06:04:24,740 from a dentist Mystic called Martino's 9060 06:04:31,670 --> 06:04:28,440 he has a presented a comprehensive 9061 06:04:34,690 --> 06:04:31,680 metaphysical system and I take some core 9062 06:04:38,650 --> 06:04:34,700 aspects of his system and 9063 06:04:41,510 --> 06:04:38,660 uh well translated them into 9064 06:04:43,548 --> 06:04:41,520 academic philosophical language one 9065 06:04:46,070 --> 06:04:43,558 might say in order to 9066 06:04:47,090 --> 06:04:46,080 uh to sketch this 9067 06:04:50,990 --> 06:04:47,100 um 9068 06:04:54,350 --> 06:04:51,000 this uh model for the fundamental nature 9069 06:04:56,090 --> 06:04:54,360 of reality it's a it's a triadic model 9070 06:05:00,470 --> 06:04:56,100 so it's 9071 06:05:01,368 --> 06:05:00,480 the basic concept is that nature is 9072 06:05:07,150 --> 06:05:01,378 um 9073 06:05:10,610 --> 06:05:07,160 it's a triadic structure that kind of 9074 06:05:11,690 --> 06:05:10,620 generates Consciousness and experience 9075 06:05:15,170 --> 06:05:11,700 so 9076 06:05:17,868 --> 06:05:15,180 yeah well Matt has to get going and Matt 9077 06:05:19,310 --> 06:05:17,878 like it's I

and how many 9125 06:07:14,208 --> 06:07:10,558 projects you're juggling with atop 9126 06:07:16,310 --> 06:07:14,218 family commitments were you able to get 9127 06:07:19,128 --> 06:07:16,320 any breathing room so far over the 9128 06:07:20,448 --> 06:07:19,138 course of the past 10 days it's been a 9129 06:07:22,368 --> 06:07:20,458 beautiful Break 9130 06:07:23,750 --> 06:07:22,378 um it's funny actually because one of 9131 06:07:26,868 --> 06:07:23,760 the things that 9132 06:07:30,010 --> 06:07:26,878 um I don't know about you guys you are 9133 06:07:32,690 --> 06:07:30,020 the people that when I'm in done time 9134 06:07:36,230 --> 06:07:32,700 especially when I'm doing things like um 9135 06:07:37,610 --> 06:07:36,240 I I live on a little farm and I 9136 06:07:38,750 --> 06:07:37,620 constantly have to mow it because all 9137 06:07:40,970 --> 06:07:38,760 it's doing at the moment here in 9138 06:07:43,670 --> 06:07:40,980 Australia is raining and lots of 9139 06:07:46,310 --> 06:07:43,680 sunshine and so we have days of rain and 9140 06:07:48,230 --> 06:07:46,320 days of sunshine and my grass is just 9141 06:07:51,708 --> 06:07:48,240 growing constantly so for me it's a 9142 06:07:53,750 --> 06:07:51,718 constant battle against Grass and um I'm 9143 06:07:55,850 --> 06:07:53,760 um I I think somebody could do a 9144 06:07:57,890 --> 06:07:55,860 scientific courtesy and develop grass 9145 06:07:59,330 --> 06:07:57,900 that grows to a certain length and stops 9146 06:08:02,090 --> 06:07:59,340 growing then the rest of us don't have 9147 06:08:03,890 --> 06:08:02,100 to mow it anymore but when I'm doing my 9148 06:08:06,590 --> 06:08:03,900 mowing I find I do some of my best 9149 06:08:08,750 --> 06:08:06,600 thinking and it's that it's that idea 9150 06:08:13,070 --> 06:08:08,760 that by doing a task that has become so 9151 06:08:14,330 --> 06:08:13,080 autonomic so so you know something that 9152 06:08:16,910 --> 06:08:14,340 you don't even think about when you're 9153 06:08:19,788 --> 06:08:16,920 doing it you start thinking about big 9154 06:08:21,890 --> 06:08:19,798 things and um I love this time of year 9155 06:08:23,570 --> 06:08:21,900 because it's a genuinely creative time 9156 06:08:26,090 --> 06:08:23,580 of the year the rest of the year you're 9157 06:08:28,788 --> 06:08:26,100 so busy that you don't really get time 9158 06:08:30,048 --> 06:08:28,798 to stop and think and be creative and 9159 06:08:31,490 --> 06:08:30,058 I'm intrigued it's one of the things 9160 06:08:34,730 --> 06:08:31,500 I've actually been thinking of writing a 9161 06:08:38,690 --> 06:08:34,740 book about this is the number of 9162 06:08:41,690 --> 06:08:38,700 people that I've been talking to in the 9163 06:08:44,628 --> 06:08:41,700 the mystery behind the phenomenon 9164 06:08:47,150 --> 06:08:44,638 the UAP phenomenon the sort of the weird 9165 06:08:48,350 --> 06:08:47,160 paranormal world of people saying that 9166 06:08:51,350 --> 06:08:48,360 they've had these extraordinary 9167 06:08:54,170 --> 06:08:51,360 experiences the number of times people 9168 06:08:56,208 --> 06:08:54,180 say to me they've had downloads 9169 06:08:58,850 --> 06:08:56,218 where they literally all of a sudden 9170 06:09:00,770 --> 06:08:58,860 wake up and um and they've got these 9171 06:09:03,230 --> 06:09:00,780 incredible ideas in their head and then 9172 06:09:06,410 --> 06:09:03,240 I started researching it recently and I 9173 06:09:09,708 --> 06:09:06,420 was fascinated to read that um James 9174 06:09:13,128 --> 06:09:09,718 Crick the the the the person who 9175 06:09:15,470 --> 06:09:13,138 conceived the shape of the DNA helix 9176 06:09:18,110 --> 06:09:15,480 um he said that the whole idea of the 9177 06:09:20,090 --> 06:09:18,120 shape of DNA came to him in a dream 9178 06:09:23,270 --> 06:09:20,100 and then I started Googling and and 9179 06:09:25,190 --> 06:09:23,280 pulling out books off my shelf and it 9180 06:09:26,750 --> 06:09:25,200 really is it's fascinating how many 9181 06:09:28,788 --> 06:09:26,760 scientists 9182 06:09:30,890 --> 06:09:28,798 describe that the moment of great 9183 06:09:33,830 --> 06:09:30,900 inspiration that they had where they 9184 06:09:36,830 --> 06:09:33,840 they suddenly realized an idea or or 9185 06:09:39,350 --> 06:09:36,840 they suddenly be able to crystallize a 9186 06:09:42,410 --> 06:09:39,360 concept in their brain and they describe 9187 06:09:44,810 --> 06:09:42,420 being in a dream state or um not really 9188 06:09:47,570 --> 06:09:44,820 focusing in the intense way that we do 9189 06:09:50,510 --> 06:09:47,580 focus when we focus on things to try and 9190 06:09:52,250 --> 06:09:50,520 study and I just wonder sometimes 9191 06:09:53,470 --> 06:09:52,260 whether there's some aspect of the brain 9192 06:09:55,910 --> 06:09:53,480 that 9193 06:09:58,490 --> 06:09:55,920 allows us to work on things in the 9194 06:10:00,590 --> 06:09:58,500 background that we haven't yet described 9195 06:10:02,330 --> 06:10:00,600 because that's my chart of the year I I 9196 06:10:04,970 --> 06:10:02,340 love this time of the year because it's 9197 06:10:06,830 --> 06:10:04,980 a creative time of the year ideas start 9198 06:10:09,708 --> 06:10:06,840 bobbing into my head about what my next 9199 06:10:11,628 --> 06:10:09,718 book might be or because I'm a an 9200 06:10:14,090 --> 06:10:11,638 investigative journalist for a TV show 9201 06:10:17,208 --> 06:10:14,100 here in Australia I I also think about 9202 06:10:20,150 --> 06:10:17,218 what what the next story should be 9203 06:10:21,948 --> 06:10:20,160 and uh there's a nervous but um 9204 06:10:25,010 --> 06:10:21,958 interested part of me that's really 9205 06:10:27,890 --> 06:10:25,020 interested in the um the cultural Wars 9206 06:10:31,670 --> 06:10:27,900 right now I'm I'm fascinated by the war 9207 06:10:34,190 --> 06:10:31,680 on woke uh the fact that um it's 9208 06:10:37,670 --> 06:10:34,200 becoming a heresy now to 9209 06:10:40,310 --> 06:10:37,680 um to uh to to use certain language you 9210 06:10:42,650 --> 06:10:40,320 know you the the slightly Marxist 9211 06:10:46,010 --> 06:10:42,660 culture wars that dictate what language 9212 06:10:49,730 --> 06:10:46,020 we will use to describe gender and uh 9213 06:10:51,470 --> 06:10:49,740 whilst I'm absolutely fulsome advocate 9214 06:10:54,048 --> 06:10:51,480 of friends of mine who've decided to 9215 06:10:57,948 --> 06:10:54,058 transition I don't like the way language 9216 06:10:59,448 --> 06:10:57,958 is being appropriated and uh uh I think 9217 06:11:01,128 --> 06:10:59,458 they must write a book at it booking it 9218 06:11:03,530 --> 06:11:01,138 somewhere is there something different 9219 06:11:06,470 --> 06:11:03,540 about that is there something there that 9220 06:11:09,110 --> 06:11:06,480 strikes you as 9221 06:11:10,670 --> 06:11:09,120 um I I think um and again I'm actually 9222 06:11:12,610 --> 06:11:10,680 nervous even discussing this really 9223 06:11:15,948 --> 06:11:12,620 because I haven't done my homework 9224 06:11:18,048 --> 06:11:15,958 yeah but uh no and I I think that 9225 06:11:21,948 --> 06:11:18,058 universally around the world what we're 9226 06:11:23,868 --> 06:11:21,958 seeing is an attempt by 9227 06:12:19,250 --> 06:11:23,878 a 9228 06:12:21,890 --> 06:12:19,260 first music video we got the opportunity 9229 06:12:25,250 --> 06:12:21,900 to um to interview her about her 9230 06:12:27,288 --> 06:12:25,260 transition and and why she um she 9231 06:12:29,868 --> 06:12:27,298 decided that she was a woman and the uh 9232 06:12:31,850 --> 06:12:29,878 the German Austrian authorities allowed 9233 06:12:35,570 --> 06:12:31,860 us to interview her psychiatrists and 9234 06:12:38,330 --> 06:12:35,580 the the people who'd made the um uh the 9235 06:12:40,670 --> 06:12:38,340 decision that she should be the youngest 9236 06:12:42,590 --> 06:12:40,680 person ever to be allowed to undergo the 9237 06:12:44,628 --> 06:12:42,600 hormone therapy and then eventually the 9238 06:12:46,670 --> 06:12:44,638 surgery and 9239 06:12:48,770 --> 06:12:46,680 um I love the fact that she's now I 9240 06:12:50,750 --> 06:12:48,780 think performing in Los Angeles and 9241 06:12:53,448 --> 06:12:50,760 doing a very successful career as a 9242 06:12:55,430 --> 06:12:53,458 beautiful young woman so I guess I'm 9243 06:12:58,310 --> 06:12:55,440 probably more open-minded than a lot of 9244 06:13:00,948 --> 06:12:58,320 people about gender but at the same time 9245 06:13:03,530 --> 06:13:00,958 I don't like the way that 9246 06:13:05,690 --> 06:13:03,540 the cultural Wars have appropriated 9247 06:13:07,788 --> 06:13:05,700 things and you're not allowed to raise 9248 06:13:10,548 --> 06:13:07,798 things I don't like the way JK Rowling 9249 06:13:12,650 --> 06:13:10,558 was treated for saying what she said and 9250 06:13:16,070 --> 06:13:12,660 she wrote a beautiful 3000 word essay 9251 06:13:17,830 --> 06:13:16,080 and got vilified for um uh essentially 9252 06:13:21,708 --> 06:13:17,840 standing up for 9253 06:13:23,990 --> 06:13:21,718 people who who challenged cultural 9254 06:13:26,690 --> 06:13:24,000 imperatives about what constitutes 9255 06:13:29,390 --> 06:13:26,700 gender and I think there's a discussion 9256 06:13:32,090 --> 06:13:29,400 there that needs to be had maybe I'm 9257 06:13:34,850 --> 06:13:32,100 just Reckless maybe I maybe I just 9258 06:13:37,490 --> 06:13:34,860 didn't get attracted to contrarian areas 9259 06:13:39,830 --> 06:13:37,500 that such as uaps that people shouldn't 9260 06:13:42,548 --> 06:13:39,840 go near you know us media should do as 9261 06:13:46,070 --> 06:13:42,558 we're told and not go into these areas 9262 06:13:49,128 --> 06:13:46,080 of dangerous journalism where you get 9263 06:13:51,590 --> 06:13:49,138 into areas that are sensitive and taboo 9264 06:13:54,288 --> 06:13:51,600 well you're in an already dangerous at 9265 06:13:56,330 --> 06:13:54,298 least sensitive at least marketable area 9266 06:13:58,448 --> 06:13:56,340 which is UFOs 9267 06:14:00,830 --> 06:13:58,458 and it shouldn't be but 9268 06:14:02,990 --> 06:14:00,840 one of the things I've noticed this year 9269 06:14:04,850 --> 06:14:03,000 by the way that one of the things I've 9270 06:14:07,310 --> 06:14:04,860 noticed this year that has really scared 9271 06:14:09,350 --> 06:14:07,320 me a little is the 9272 06:14:13,788 --> 06:14:09,360 the nastiness that is starting to 9273 06:14:16,788 --> 06:14:13,798 develop on social media uh 9274 06:14:19,128 --> 06:14:16,798 around anybody that you know I've taken 9275 06:14:21,110 --> 06:14:19,138 quite a public position in saying as I 9276 06:14:23,930 --> 06:14:21,120 constantly do that the phenomenon is 9277 06:14:26,628 --> 06:14:23,940 real that whatever it is it's a genuine 9278 06:14:29,448 --> 06:14:26,638 mystery acknowledged us so you feel like 9279 06:14:31,070 --> 06:14:29,458 it's gotten nastier I feel like it's 9280 06:14:33,730 --> 06:14:31,080 gotten more welcoming and more 9281 06:14:33,740 --> 06:14:37,330 I 9282 06:14:43,730 --> 06:14:40,430 suspect targeted troll campaigns you 9283 06:14:45,350 --> 06:14:43,740 know um uh there's a 9284 06:14:46,490 --> 06:14:45,360 um somebody out there doesn't like 9285 06:14:48,770 --> 06:14:46,500 people 9286 06:14:51,048 --> 06:14:48,780 like me rocking the boat and asking 9287 06:14:53,750 --> 06:14:51,058 questions about the phenomenon and um 9288 06:14:55,730 --> 06:14:53,760 there are a number of uh people who 9289 06:14:59,090 --> 06:14:55,740 basically made up their work to try and 9290 06:15:01,490 --> 06:14:59,100 pull down people who Express a view 9291 06:15:04,970 --> 06:15:01,500 that's opposite to the um 9292 06:15:08,090 --> 06:15:04,980 to the uh the accepted reality and uh I 9293 06:15:09,708 --> 06:15:08,100 I you know the bottom line is um I I 9294 06:15:13,430 --> 06:15:09,718 think we should ground our 9295 06:15:15,490 --> 06:15:13,440 investigations in solid science 9296 06:15:18,288 --> 06:15:15,500 um but then 9297 06:15:20,810 --> 06:15:18,298 just hold on to that thought Ross sorry 9298

girl who make a YouTube 9318 06:16:06,490 --> 06:16:04,440 channel 9319 06:16:09,350 --> 06:16:06,500 can you repeat that once once more yes 9320 06:16:12,350 --> 06:16:09,360 uh I ask you if you have seen that two 9321 06:16:14,390 --> 06:16:12,360 weeks ago there was a 9322 06:16:16,310 --> 06:16:14,400 girl who made a 9323 06:16:18,708 --> 06:16:16,320 Channel 9324 06:16:21,530 --> 06:16:18,718 an E.T girl what she was claiming to be 9325 06:16:24,650 --> 06:16:21,540 alien was she yes 9326 06:16:26,628 --> 06:16:24,660 I mean had we proved that I mean this is 9327 06:16:28,850 --> 06:16:26,638 the I care out I'll tell you how my 9328 06:16:30,890 --> 06:16:28,860 brain works not when I get a message 9329 06:16:34,190 --> 06:16:30,900 like that I've had people contact me who 9330 06:16:37,010 --> 06:16:34,200 claim to be alien and I'm quite ruthless 9331 06:16:38,930 --> 06:16:37,020 with them you know I I I'm not taking 9332 06:16:41,090 --> 06:16:38,940 the piss with them but at the same time 9333 06:16:43,430 --> 06:16:41,100 I I expect people to be able to provide 9334 06:16:48,830 --> 06:16:43,440 evidence before I even engage 9335 06:16:50,510 --> 06:16:48,840 and um uh for example uh there's a um 9336 06:16:51,948 --> 06:16:50,520 while I went I won't cite this because 9337 06:16:53,330 --> 06:16:51,958 it's probably a bit dangerous but no I 9338 06:16:55,670 --> 06:16:53,340 mean I've I've been approached on 9339 06:16:57,830 --> 06:16:55,680 multiple occasions by people who purport 9340 06:17:01,910 --> 06:16:57,840 to be speaking on behalf of non-human 9341 06:17:03,890 --> 06:17:01,920 intelligence and I say great fantastic 9342 06:17:05,990 --> 06:17:03,900 um provide me with some evidence of that 9343 06:17:09,110 --> 06:17:06,000 you know I'm not willing to engage 9344 06:17:11,690 --> 06:17:09,120 because until I I know that you are who 9345 06:17:14,390 --> 06:17:11,700 you say you are and in the same way that 9346 06:17:16,850 --> 06:17:14,400 scientists verify academic credentials 9347 06:17:18,530 --> 06:17:16,860 before they make a an assessment about 9348 06:17:21,230 --> 06:17:18,540 the validity of Assessments that people 9349 06:17:22,910 --> 06:17:21,240 make journalists have to look into the 9350 06:17:23,810 --> 06:17:22,920 provenance of 9351 06:17:27,170 --> 06:17:23,820 um 9352 06:17:29,750 --> 06:17:27,180 claims made by somebody and I mean I'm 9353 06:17:31,730 --> 06:17:29,760 fascinated for example 9354 06:17:33,890 --> 06:17:31,740 um there's a chap called Santos who's a 9355 06:17:35,990 --> 06:17:33,900 politician in the United States who's in 9356 06:17:38,390 --> 06:17:36,000 terrible trouble at the moment because 9357 06:17:40,670 --> 06:17:38,400 he's been fibbing about his um his 9358 06:17:42,890 --> 06:17:40,680 background and he's lied egregiously 9359 06:17:45,288 --> 06:17:42,900 about his academic qualifications his 9360 06:17:48,590 --> 06:17:45,298 work experience and even whether his 9361 06:17:50,208 --> 06:17:48,600 poor mother died of cancer and the 9362 06:17:52,310 --> 06:17:50,218 incredible thing is is that this is a 9363 06:17:55,250 --> 06:17:52,320 person who's made it into the Congress 9364 06:17:57,590 --> 06:17:55,260 no less and in all the verification 9365 06:17:59,390 --> 06:17:57,600 procedures that go on in the world you 9366 06:18:01,730 --> 06:17:59,400 would think that before somebody is 9367 06:18:03,350 --> 06:18:01,740 allowed to become a member of the 9368 06:18:05,090 --> 06:18:03,360 Congress of the United States you 9369 06:18:06,650 --> 06:18:05,100 actually verify their background and 9370 06:18:09,708 --> 06:18:06,660 make sure that they are who they say 9371 06:18:12,410 --> 06:18:09,718 they are and um in the same way I think 9372 06:18:14,930 --> 06:18:12,420 one of the things that I recognize as a 9373 06:18:19,730 --> 06:18:14,940 problem in the study of the phenomenon 9374 06:18:23,030 --> 06:18:19,740 of uaps UFOs is there are 9375 06:18:26,570 --> 06:18:23,040 so many people who are so credulous 9376 06:18:29,030 --> 06:18:26,580 um about certain things for example I 9377 06:18:31,490 --> 06:18:29,040 um I'll give you one example notice the 9378 06:18:33,948 --> 06:18:31,500 uh the Space Program uh people people 9379 06:18:36,410 --> 06:18:33,958 say there is a secret space program and 9380 06:18:38,990 --> 06:18:36,420 there are people like Corey good and 9381 06:18:40,750 --> 06:18:39,000 others who go around giving conferences 9382 06:18:44,390 --> 06:18:40,760 earning tens of thousands of dollars 9383 06:18:47,690 --> 06:18:44,400 claiming that they are people who've 9384 06:18:53,690 --> 06:18:47,700 fought for some kind of Intergalactic 9385 06:18:56,270 --> 06:18:53,700 um uh Army against other aliens and it's 9386 06:18:58,010 --> 06:18:56,280 all Preposterous in my view and I I've 9387 06:18:59,990 --> 06:18:58,020 basically said to people who've told me 9388 06:19:02,270 --> 06:19:00,000 about this and they say oh you know why 9389 06:19:04,070 --> 06:19:02,280 don't you why don't you engage with this 9390 06:19:06,708 --> 06:19:04,080 why don't you take it seriously and I 9391 06:19:10,010 --> 06:19:06,718 say well give me a good reason to do so 9392 06:19:13,430 --> 06:19:10,020 and and the bottom line is science 9393 06:19:15,350 --> 06:19:13,440 empirical science where you use data is 9394 06:19:16,850 --> 06:19:15,360 a really good starting point to make a 9395 06:19:19,128 --> 06:19:16,860 judgment as to whether or not something 9396 06:19:21,350 --> 06:19:19,138 should be engaged with so if somebody 9397 06:19:23,690 --> 06:19:21,360 contacts me as they have done saying 9398 06:19:25,548 --> 06:19:23,700 that they're alien I mean the Anjali 9399 06:19:27,470 --> 06:19:25,558 case there's a classic 9400 06:19:30,110 --> 06:19:27,480 um this is a woman who claimed to have 9401 06:19:35,208 --> 06:19:30,120 had an extraordinary experience where 9402 06:19:37,548 --> 06:19:35,218 she went into a hill knit aliens and um 9403 06:19:40,430 --> 06:19:37,558 and she claimed that there would be an 9404 06:19:42,410 --> 06:19:40,440 opportunity for the media and selected 9405 06:19:44,270 --> 06:19:42,420 Representatives I was on the list at one 9406 06:19:46,548 --> 06:19:44,280 stage to actually go and meet these 9407 06:19:50,628 --> 06:19:46,558 aliens and I was terribly excited but 9408 06:19:52,610 --> 06:19:50,638 very very very skeptical and not to 9409 06:19:56,150 --> 06:19:52,620 anyone's surprise at all 9410 06:19:59,270 --> 06:19:56,160 system went away and 9411 06:20:00,770 --> 06:19:59,280 no I didn't know about the uh the fact 9412 06:20:02,570 --> 06:20:00,780 that there's a woman who's purporting to 9413 06:20:05,150 --> 06:20:02,580 be an alien but it doesn't surprise me I 9414 06:20:05,990 --> 06:20:05,160 mean there are there are a lot of 9415 06:20:08,150 --> 06:20:06,000 um 9416 06:20:12,170 --> 06:20:08,160 there are a lot of odd 9417 06:20:14,090 --> 06:20:12,180 planes that are made but frankly I don't 9418 06:20:16,250 --> 06:20:14,100 think we even need to look at odd claims 9419 06:20:18,590 --> 06:20:16,260 we just need to accept the fact that the 9420 06:20:20,868 --> 06:20:18,600 prevailing acknowledged officially 9421 06:20:24,470 --> 06:20:20,878 acknowledged mystery is enough for all 9422 06:20:26,628 --> 06:20:24,480 of us we now are in a new paradigm we're 9423 06:20:29,330 --> 06:20:26,638 in a new paradigm where basically the 9424 06:20:30,890 --> 06:20:29,340 government of the United States and to a 9425 06:20:32,448 --> 06:20:30,900 lesser degree other governments like the 9426 06:20:33,770 --> 06:20:32,458 British government and I think the 9427 06:20:36,230 --> 06:20:33,780 French government's being pretty good 9428 06:20:39,770 --> 06:20:36,240 too and the Russians they're all 9429 06:20:42,530 --> 06:20:39,780 acknowledging in varying degrees in a 9430 06:20:45,530 --> 06:20:42,540 public way that there is a genuine 9431 06:20:47,868 --> 06:20:45,540 mystery involving a phenomenon that 9432 06:20:49,970 --> 06:20:47,878 manifests itself in the sky that is 9433 06:20:52,730 --> 06:20:49,980 apparently detectable on radar that does 9434 06:20:55,070 --> 06:20:52,740 weird things that are Beyond known human 9435 06:20:59,448 --> 06:20:55,080 science that appears to manifest itself 9436 06:21:02,208 --> 06:20:59,458 as as craft as technological objects and 9437 06:21:04,010 --> 06:21:02,218 I find that fascinating and I think it 9438 06:21:06,230 --> 06:21:04,020 should be investigated and for me that's 9439 06:21:07,670 --> 06:21:06,240 enough of a mystery I don't think we 9440 06:21:08,270 --> 06:21:07,680 need to 9441 06:21:10,730 --> 06:21:08,280 um 9442 06:21:13,250 --> 06:21:10,740 get too involved with people who make 9443 06:21:15,350 --> 06:21:13,260 claims that they can't substantiate 9444 06:21:18,288 --> 06:21:15,360 Ross 9445 06:21:20,628 --> 06:21:18,298 I have to go for five minutes at least 9446 06:21:22,788 --> 06:21:20,638

06:27:53,700 dump of red Outback dirt on everything 9605 06:27:59,030 --> 06:27:56,700 in your garden and uh periodically you 9606 06:28:02,208 --> 06:27:59,040 just get these weird dumps of of Red 9607 06:28:04,970 --> 06:28:02,218 Dirt but uh the Outback from where I am 9608 06:28:06,708 --> 06:28:04,980 is probably about four hours West but 9609 06:28:09,288 --> 06:28:06,718 periodically yes

truth the great mythology about 9613 06:28:17,208 --> 06:28:15,180 Australia is that we all walk around 9614 06:28:19,788 --> 06:28:17,218 with hats on our head with corks around 9615 06:28:21,830 -->

--> 06:28:32,520 we're actually a coastal uh country and 9622 06:28:38,090 --> 06:28:34,740 vast amounts of the interior of 9623 06:28:40,788 --> 06:28:38,100 Australia are basically empty empty and

06:30:45,770 --> 06:30:43,378 just becoming familiar with the 9675 06:30:48,948 --> 06:30:45,780 mathematics and we strive to make active 9676 06:30:51,490 --> 06:30:48,958 inference accessible and rigorous and 9677 06:30:54,410 --> 06:30:51,500 applicable and we have a great time 9678 06:30:57,110 --> 06:30:54,420 entertaining and dancing with theories 9679 06:30:59,990 --> 06:30:57,120 of things which is something which I'm 9680 06:31:02,810 --> 06:31:00,000 sure we can go into 9681 06:31:04,610 --> 06:31:02,820 okay now 9682 06:31:06,590 --> 06:31:04,620 okay just a moment 9683

06:31:32,270 --> 06:31:27,660 we 9693 06:31:32,280 --> 06:31:35,708 UFO report 9694 06:31:38,810 --> 06:31:37,730 I'm going to change my headphones so 9695 06:31:41,930 --> 06:31:38,820 continue please 9696 06:31:44,448 --> 06:31:41,940 I'm very excited about the NDA 9697 06:31:46,250 --> 06:31:44,458 I think it's super super powerful at 9698 06:31:48,708 --> 06:31:46,260 least I mean what do you think Ross I 9699 06:31:51,110 --> 06:31:48,718 think it's going to be a game changer 9700 06:31:52,430 --> 06:31:51,120 um I I look I I think the ndia what 9701 06:31:54,770 --> 06:31:52,440 we're talking about here is the National 9702 06:31:56,570 --> 06:31:54,780 Defense authorization act which has got 9703 06:31:58,730 --> 06:31:56,580 a whole lot of Provisions that make it 9704 06:32:02,390 --> 06:31:58,740 possible for people to blow the whistle 9705 06:32:04,070 --> 06:32:02,400 on if they exist secret programs that 9706 06:32:07,430 --> 06:32:04,080 are disguising 9707 06:32:10,010 --> 06:32:07,440 perhaps position of UFO UAP related 9708 06:32:12,288 --> 06:32:10,020 technology inside the US government and 9709 06:32:13,810 --> 06:32:12,298 they may in fact shed light on whether 9710 06:32:16,310 --> 06:32:13,820 or not the United States government 9711 06:32:19,250 --> 06:32:16,320 incredibly as incredible as it may seem 9712 06:32:22,010 --> 06:32:19,260 has ever been involved in retrieving 9713 06:32:25,430 --> 06:32:22,020 non-human technology or engaging with a 9714 06:32:27,470 --> 06:32:25,440 non-human intelligence and so it may be 9715 06:32:29,830 --> 06:32:27,480 that the Congress gets the answers on 9716 06:32:34,128 --> 06:32:29,840 this this year because of legislation 9717 06:32:36,708 --> 06:32:34,138 but Chris My worry is that um there have 9718 06:32:38,150 --> 06:32:36,718 already been hearings and I'm told and 9719 06:32:40,190 --> 06:32:38,160 some of this is starting to dribble out 9720 06:32:42,170 --> 06:32:40,200 I'm told that there have already been 9721 06:32:45,530 --> 06:32:42,180 witnesses that have given quite a lot of 9722 06:32:47,628 --> 06:32:45,540 detail in camera to the Senate 9723 06:32:50,570 --> 06:32:47,638 intelligence committee and the armed 9724 06:32:52,190 --> 06:32:50,580 services committee but um the big 9725 06:32:54,048 --> 06:32:52,200 question in my mind is whether the 9726 06:32:56,110 --> 06:32:54,058 Public's going to get told anything 9727 06:32:59,990 --> 06:32:56,120 about what these committees have heard 9728 06:33:02,510 --> 06:33:00,000 and it's interesting because really the 9729 06:33:05,510 --> 06:33:02,520 decision on what is released in any 9730 06:33:09,530 --> 06:33:05,520 unclassified report is really up to the 9731 06:33:12,410 --> 06:33:09,540 committee cheers and um uh my worry at 9732 06:33:15,048 --> 06:33:12,420 the moment frankly is that because 9733 06:33:18,048 --> 06:33:15,058 there's a delayed report to the Congress 9734 06:33:20,570 --> 06:33:18,058 that was due on the 31st of October 9735 06:33:23,868 --> 06:33:20,580 which was meant to be the first annual 9736 06:33:26,868 --> 06:33:23,878 report of what essentially is a UAP task 9737 06:33:29,930 --> 06:33:26,878 force inside the Pentagon because that's 9738 06:33:32,390 --> 06:33:29,940 delay not one politician has spoken out 9739 06:33:34,730 --> 06:33:32,400 to say how outrageous this is that it's 9740 06:33:37,910 --> 06:33:34,740 essentially flouting and ignoring the 9741 06:33:39,770 --> 06:33:37,920 statutory requirements of Congress so 9742 06:33:41,628 --> 06:33:39,780 I'm a little bit worried that what that 9743 06:33:45,650 --> 06:33:41,638 Flags is 9744 06:33:47,090 --> 06:33:45,660 um kind of like a a an attitude by the 9745 06:33:49,430 --> 06:33:47,100 Pentagon and the intelligence community 9746 06:33:52,190 --> 06:33:49,440 that really it's not going to take these 9747 06:33:54,650 --> 06:33:52,200 kind of requirements very seriously so I 9748 06:33:57,110 --> 06:33:54,660 just hope that the politicians muscle up 9749 06:33:59,330 --> 06:33:57,120 because the big question is going to be 9750 06:34:02,628 --> 06:33:59,340 yes Congress is getting told this stuff 9751 06:34:05,448 --> 06:34:02,638 but is the public going to be allowed to 9752 06:34:09,048 --> 06:34:05,458 know because we do we need to know 9753 06:34:11,150 --> 06:34:09,058 Tim burchett came out and said it's the 9754 06:34:12,948 --> 06:34:11,160 government is corrupt he actually used 9755 06:34:14,690 --> 06:34:12,958 the words corrupt they're not going to 9756 06:34:16,070 --> 06:34:14,700 do anything with this stuff he's afraid 9757 06:34:17,390 --> 06:34:16,080 we're never going to see anything the 9758 06:34:20,530 --> 06:34:17,400 light of day like what you're talking 9759 06:34:23,090 --> 06:34:20,540 about I believe that tonight 9760 06:34:25,670 --> 06:34:23,100 yeah Richie and the interesting thing 9761 06:34:29,330 --> 06:34:25,680 about Tim is that I know Tim has sat in 9762 06:34:31,788 --> 06:34:29,340 on one of these hearings at least where 9763 06:34:34,150 --> 06:34:31,798 Witnesses were deposed and were giving 9764 06:34:37,190 --> 06:34:34,160 quite dramatic evidence to the Congress 9765 06:34:38,810 --> 06:34:37,200 and uh because he sat in on that hearing 9766 06:34:40,490 --> 06:34:38,820 he's not allowed to talk about it and 9767 06:34:42,230 --> 06:34:40,500 it's not him who's told me about the 9768 06:34:44,570 --> 06:34:42,240 fact that he was in that hearing I'm I'm 9769 06:34:47,090 --> 06:34:44,580 aware of this from other sources but the 9770 06:34:48,948 --> 06:34:47,100 uh the interesting thing is is that it's 9771 06:34:51,110 --> 06:34:48,958 a bit like once you become part of the 9772 06:34:53,628 --> 06:34:51,120 secret world you have to sign your ndas 9773 06:34:56,628 --> 06:34:53,638 and you have to make your secrecy oath 9774 06:34:58,610 --> 06:34:56,638 the the big problem for politicians is 9775 06:35:01,788 --> 06:34:58,620 what on Earth are they being told behind 9776 06:35:03,170 --> 06:35:01,798 closed doors which is so secret that the 9777 06:35:06,350 --> 06:35:03,180 rest of the world isn't allowed to know 9778 06:35:08,750 --> 06:35:06,360 about it and Richie that's my Worry My 9779 06:35:11,030 --> 06:35:08,760 worry is that yes Congress may get told 9780 06:35:12,470 --> 06:35:11,040 something but the rest of us are going 9781 06:35:13,850 --> 06:35:12,480 to have a paper bag put over our head 9782 06:35:16,010 --> 06:35:13,860 and we're going to be kept in the dark 9783 06:35:18,948 --> 06:35:16,020 and fit on BS 9784 06:35:20,868 --> 06:35:18,958 once they start that process of opening 9785 06:35:22,310 --> 06:35:20,878 up Pandora's Box you can't close it 9786 06:35:24,230 --> 06:35:22,320 that's why this stuff has to be 9787 06:35:26,990 --> 06:35:24,240 scrutinized down to every single detail 9788 06:35:29,570 --> 06:35:27,000 what can be told what can't be they've 9789 06:35:31,310 --> 06:35:29,580 got a big big job ahead of them by not 9790 06:35:33,110 --> 06:35:31,320 accidentally saying something or showing 9791 06:35:36,048 --> 06:35:33,120 us something they shouldn't 9792 06:35:38,628 --> 06:35:36,058 you know we saw what happened the first 9793 06:35:41,208 --> 06:35:38,638 congressional hearing on UFOs it really 9794 06:35:43,730 --> 06:35:41,218 was not impressive at all so if that's 9795 06:35:48,708 --> 06:35:43,740 things to come you know and it's going 9796 06:35:50,030 --> 06:35:48,718 to be the same well yeah right 9797 06:35:51,708 --> 06:35:50,040 I'm worried we're all going to get 9798 06:35:54,048 --> 06:35:51,718 snowed basically and it's happened 9799 06:35:54,948 --> 06:35:54,058 before it happened what do you mean can 9800 06:35:56,150 --> 06:35:54,958 you repeat that because I don't 9801 06:35:58,730 --> 06:35:56,160 understand that this must be an 9802 06:36:00,890 --> 06:35:58,740 Australian oh uh it's basically I'm 9803 06:36:02,150 --> 06:36:00,900 worried that I'm worried that what's 9804 06:36:03,650 --> 06:36:02,160 going on at the moment is that there is 9805 06:36:05,750 --> 06:36:03,660 an attempt to pull the wool over our 9806 06:36:08,030 --> 06:36:05,760 eyes there's been an attempt to 9807 06:36:11,810 --> 06:36:08,040 constrain the whole Narrative of what 9808 06:36:13,190 --> 06:36:11,820 we're investigating by starting at 2004. 9809 06:36:15,350 --> 06:36:13,200 um Chris would know that you know 9810 06:36:18,708 --> 06:36:15,360 obviously a lot of the focus on the USS 9811 06:36:20,750 --> 06:36:18,718 Nimitz incident from 2004 and the 9812 06:36:24,170 --> 06:36:20,760 incidents involving the U.S Navy from 9813 06:36:26,690 --> 06:36:24,180 2014 2015 and since it's very important 9814 06:36:28,430 --> 06:36:26,700 that those are investigated but I I 9815 06:36:30,230 --> 06:36:28,440 suspect that there's a deliberate 9816 06:36:32,030 --> 06:36:30,240 attempt by people in the Pentagon and 9817 06:36:35,208 --> 06:36:32,040 the intelligence Community to avoid 9818 06:36:37,730 --> 06:36:35,218 accountability and public scrutiny over 9819 06:36:40,850 --> 06:36:37,740 what they've known in the decades prior 9820 06:36:42,948 --> 06:36:40,860 did they lie about Roswell did they lie 9821 06:36:46,190 --> 06:36:42,958 about other recoveries that allegedly 9822 06:36:48,650 --> 06:36:46,200 took place in the 1950s and the 1940s I 9823 06:36:50,948 --> 06:36:48,660 know it sounds crazy but imminent 9824 06:36:55,128 --> 06:36:50,958 respectable people are now asserting 9825 06:36:56,810 --> 06:36:55,138 that there is some truth possibly to the 9826 06:36:59,930 --> 06:36:56,820 idea that the United States government 9827 06:37:02,150 --> 06:36:59,940 is in possession of non-human technology 9828 06:37:04,548 --> 06:37:02,160 which is a Preposterous claim it's an 9829 06:37:06,048 --> 06:37:04,558 amazing allegation and I don't know why 9830 06:37:08,330 --> 06:37:06,058 it's not on the front pages of every 9831 06:37:10,070 --> 06:37:08,340 major newspaper I mean when you look at 9832 06:37:12,410 --> 06:37:10,080 the caliber of the people that have come 9833 06:37:14,150 --> 06:37:12,420 forward and said that they think that 9834 06:37:16,430 --> 06:37:14,160 this has credibility and that it should 9835 06:37:18,470 --> 06:37:16,440 be investigated and where are the Wall 9836 06:37:19,910 --> 06:37:18,480 Street Journal in the New York Times not 9837 06:37:22,490 --> 06:37:19,920 only are they asleep at the wheel 9838 06:37:24,350 --> 06:37:22,500 they're running polemics from lick 9839 06:37:27,110 --> 06:37:24,360 spittle journalists

06:38:45,298 like okay forget about closer to truth 9870 06:38:49,788 --> 06:38:47,160 what else are you looking forward to in 9871 06:38:52,368 --> 06:38:49,798 the upcoming year well maybe don't 9872 06:38:55,190 --> 06:38:52,378 forget about closer to truth but yeah 9873 06:38:59,208 --> 06:38:55,200 well I have uh two sides of my brain I 9874 06:39:00,770 --> 06:38:59,218 don't know which is which uh but um you 9875 06:39:03,650 --> 06:39:00,780 know in terms of in terms of the world 9876 06:39:05,510 --> 06:39:03,660 uh we hope to have a better year 9877 06:39:08,330 --> 06:39:05,520 um I I follow 9878 06:39:11,868 --> 06:39:08,340 International affairs with uh quite 9879 06:39:14,810 --> 06:39:11,878 quite rigorously in my other in my 9880 06:39:17,090 --> 06:39:14,820 non-in closer to truth life uh I'm very 9881 06:39:20,330 --> 06:39:17,100 much involved with China so I I look at 9882 06:39:23,270 --> 06:39:20,340 the world from both a China perspective 9883 06:39:26,030 --> 06:39:23,280 and a U.S perspective and uh 9884 06:39:28,430 --> 06:39:26,040 with Ukraine and Russia it's a terrible 9885 06:39:31,910 --> 06:39:28,440 situation which affects all of us so we 9886 06:39:34,788 --> 06:39:31,920 hope they hope there'll be some uh some 9887 06:39:37,788 --> 06:39:34,798 significant transformation on that that 9888 06:39:39,590 --> 06:39:37,798 that's the hope but the likelihood it 9889 06:39:41,750 --> 06:39:39,600 doesn't look that way 9890 06:39:43,190 --> 06:39:41,760 so that's on the one hand close to the 9891 06:39:45,530 --> 06:39:43,200 truth I can be much more optimistic 9892 06:39:46,970 --> 06:39:45,540 about we we just launched the new 9893 06:39:49,788 --> 06:39:46,980 website after about a year in 9894 06:39:51,948 --> 06:39:49,798 development a few weeks ago and we're 9895 06:39:56,208 --> 06:39:51,958 excited about that 9896 06:40:00,250 --> 06:39:56,218 um and we're developing new new areas of 9897 06:40:02,410 --> 06:40:00,260 content we have focused in the past on 9898 06:40:06,288 --> 06:40:02,420 Cosmos physics 9899 06:40:08,750 --> 06:40:06,298 mathematics a third and a third on brain 9900 06:40:13,128 --> 06:40:08,760 mind Consciousness Free Will personal 9901 06:40:14,170 --> 06:40:13,138 identity diverse intelligences ESP 9902 06:40:17,750 --> 06:40:14,180 um 9903 06:40:18,948 --> 06:40:17,760 ESB it's not a lot of major thing of 9904 06:40:21,590 --> 06:40:18,958 what we do but it's definitely 9905 06:40:24,948 --> 06:40:21,600 definitely part of our explorations of 9906 06:40:28,010 --> 06:40:24,958 Consciousness from a particular point of 9907 06:40:31,190 --> 06:40:28,020 view and the third category is uh is 9908 06:40:33,530 --> 06:40:31,200 meaning which is basically philosophy of 9909 06:40:36,410 --> 06:40:33,540 religion the inter it's a relationship 9910 06:40:37,448 --> 06:40:36,420 between philosophy of religion and the 9911 06:40:40,190 --> 06:40:37,458 Sciences 9912 06:40:42,048 --> 06:40:40,200 as well as kind of Hardcore philosophy 9913 06:40:44,090 --> 06:40:42,058 those have been the three areas but 9914 06:40:48,410 --> 06:40:44,100 we're expanding it now 9915 06:40:50,868 --> 06:40:48,420 category which will include life which 9916 06:40:53,868 --> 06:40:50,878 will be life and and the primary aspect 9917 06:40:55,788 --> 06:40:53,878 is philosophy of biology so it'll 9918 06:40:57,470 --> 06:40:55,798 probably take we've just done our first 9919 06:40:59,448 --> 06:40:57,480 filming it'll take 9920 06:41:01,910 --> 06:40:59,458 it'll take well into the Year by the end 9921 06:41:05,030 --> 06:41:01,920 of the year before we start posting a 9922 06:41:08,208 --> 06:41:05,040 lot of a lot of material but it's it's a 9923 06:41:10,430 --> 06:41:08,218 new area for us and we think it's very 9924 06:41:12,770 --> 06:41:10,440 probative of the nature of reality to 9925 06:41:14,390 --> 06:41:12,780 really discuss the the nature of life 9926 06:41:16,670 --> 06:41:14,400 from all different points of view 9927 06:41:19,730 --> 06:41:16,680 particularly from a philosophical point 9928 06:41:22,548 --> 06:41:19,740 of view evolution is a a core area to 9929 06:41:25,070 --> 06:41:22,558 really understand how that works and 9930 06:41:28,250 --> 06:41:25,080 there's a lot of controversy in it but 9931 06:41:30,530 --> 06:41:28,260 it goes broader than that so that's what 9932 06:41:34,490 --> 06:41:30,540 we're looking at we're also developing 9933 06:41:38,530 --> 06:41:34,500 uh in the past our meaning section uh 9934 06:41:41,750 --> 06:41:38,540 has been largely uh 9935 06:41:44,390 --> 06:41:41,760 Western philosophy of religion and in 9936 06:41:47,208 --> 06:41:44,400 particular a Christian philosophy of 9937 06:41:50,990 --> 06:41:47,218 religion and there are two reasons for 9938 06:41:53,868 --> 06:41:51,000 it one is that 9939 06:41:56,570 --> 06:41:53,878 we're in the west and we film in the U.S 9940 06:41:58,070 --> 06:41:56,580 and UK so it's it's more convenient but 9941 06:42:00,110 --> 06:41:58,080 that's really the secondary reason the 9942 06:42:01,910 --> 06:42:00,120 main reason is that some of the most 9943 06:42:03,350 --> 06:42:01,920 sophisticated philosophy since the 9944 06:42:06,410 --> 06:42:03,360 Middle Ages has been in Christian 9945 06:42:08,990 --> 06:42:06,420 philosophy uh so that's why we we do 9946 06:42:11,628 --> 06:42:09,000 that my mother who died a few years ago 9947 06:42:13,548 --> 06:42:11,638 at 102 used to watch closer to truth 9948 06:42:17,030 --> 06:42:13,558 she'd understand anything she just was 9949 06:42:19,730 --> 06:42:17,040 happy to see me if I was happy and upset 9950 06:42:21,410 --> 06:42:19,740 if I if I look sad but she always asks 9951 06:42:23,270 --> 06:42:21,420 me she always asked me why don't you 9952 06:42:24,770 --> 06:42:23,280 have I see a lot of Christian 9953 06:42:28,310 --> 06:42:24,780 philosophers why don't you have any 9954 06:42:31,910 --> 06:42:30,590 and so I said Mom I said we have a lot 9955 06:42:36,490 --> 06:42:31,920 of Jews they're all the atheist 9956 06:42:41,090 --> 06:42:38,930 Okay so 9957 06:42:43,010 --> 06:42:41,100 so Rob I'm gonna what we're doing this 9958 06:42:45,048 --> 06:42:43,020 year to finish it off is that we've 9959 06:42:47,330 --> 06:42:45,058 developed a new area of global 9960 06:42:50,030 --> 06:42:47,340 philosophy of religion in which we're 9961 06:42:52,310 --> 06:42:50,040 focusing on uh non-judeo-christian 9962 06:42:54,708 --> 06:42:52,320 religions Islam is very close of course 9963 06:42:57,890 --> 06:42:54,718 in the abrahamic Traditions but also 9964 06:43:00,830 --> 06:42:57,900 Hindu Buddhist philosophy uh and some of 9965 06:43:03,770 --> 06:43:00,840 the more obscure areas Baha'i faith 9966 06:43:08,448 --> 06:43:03,780 zoroastrinism 9967 06:43:11,270 --> 06:43:08,458 um uh Sufism uh seek is um Shinto is um 9968 06:43:13,490 --> 06:43:11,280 so we're trying to get some of the same 9969 06:43:14,990 --> 06:43:13,500 basic questions which are non-sectarian 9970 06:43:17,448 --> 06:43:15,000 but it drives through different 9971 06:43:19,970 --> 06:43:17,458 perspectives 9972 06:43:22,490 --> 06:43:19,980 so I know there are nine people here I 9973 06:43:24,288 --> 06:43:22,500 didn't even know that this stream yard 9974 06:43:26,690 --> 06:43:24,298 allows this many people there's a 10th 9975 06:43:29,628 --> 06:43:26,700 person the jockey right here 9976 06:43:31,310 --> 06:43:29,638 so glad

10025 06:45:41,150 --> 06:45:39,240 making it to the public right and that's 10026 06:45:42,708 --> 06:45:41,160 really the biggest concern of all and we 10027 06:45:44,750 --> 06:45:42,718 always

just it's just talking about it it's 10036 06:46:05,510 --> 06:46:04,020 such a complex topic and when you can 10037 06:46:07,250 --> 06:46:05,520 finally link up with people who are 10038 06:46:08,628 --> 06:46:07,260 really trying to get to it so thank you 10039 06:46:10,610 --> 06:46:08,638 so much for putting this together thanks 10040 06:46:12,650 --> 06:46:10,620 for inviting me this is just I'm having 10041 06:46:14,868 --> 06:46:12,660 a lot of fun 10042 06:46:18,890 --> 06:46:14,878 so 10043 06:46:20,690 --> 06:46:18,900 Robert about UFOs 10044 06:46:22,730 --> 06:46:20,700 have you been asked about that on your 10045 06:46:25,910 --> 06:46:22,740 show and are you interested in exploring 10046 06:46:28,730 --> 06:46:25,920 it yeah that's a great question I think 10047 06:46:31,730 --> 06:46:28,740 that there are three areas that many 10048 06:46:34,968 --> 06:46:31,740 viewers ask about uh increasingly 10049 06:46:38,090 --> 06:46:34,978 especially as we've gone more Global it 10050 06:46:42,590 --> 06:46:38,100 used to be 100 in the U.S now we're 10051 06:46:46,250 --> 06:46:42,600 about 55 outside the US uh three the 10052 06:46:51,110 --> 06:46:46,260 three topics are uh ndes near death 10053 06:46:52,788 --> 06:46:51,120 experiences reincarnation and UFOs uh 10054 06:46:54,548 --> 06:46:52,798 uaps 10055 06:46:59,330 --> 06:46:54,558 um and 10056 06:47:02,650 --> 06:46:59,340 my primary response to to all of that is 10057 06:47:05,350 --> 06:47:02,660 that none of those subjects 10058 06:47:09,948 --> 06:47:05,360 are directly 10059 06:47:12,708 --> 06:47:09,958 aligned with the uh the very narrow 10060 06:47:15,048 --> 06:47:12,718 approach the closer the truth has which 10061 06:47:17,810 --> 06:47:15,058 is to use both the scientific and a 10062 06:47:20,570 --> 06:47:17,820 philosophical approach to it we don't 10063 06:47:22,128 --> 06:47:20,580 report the latest news in physics that's 10064 06:47:25,670 --> 06:47:22,138 not what we do we look for the 10065 06:47:28,430 --> 06:47:25,680 implications of it so the example I use 10066 06:47:31,788 --> 06:47:28,440 of when people ask us to do more of that 10067 06:47:34,010 --> 06:47:31,798 and I've taken that seriously in terms 10068 06:47:36,948 --> 06:47:34,020 of planning to do more about it because 10069 06:47:39,048 --> 06:47:36,958 I've resisted it in the past and the 10070 06:47:42,410 --> 06:47:39,058 example I've used is what we've done 10071 06:47:46,070 --> 06:47:42,420 with ESP and parapsychology because that 10072 06:47:48,890 --> 06:47:46,080 we have addressed in multiple uh shows 10073 06:47:51,410 --> 06:47:48,900 and videos many dozens of videos with 10074 06:47:54,770 --> 06:47:51,420 some of the leaders the things in the 10075 06:47:58,490 --> 06:47:54,780 field and what we don't do is try to be 10076 06:47:59,770 --> 06:47:58,500 the adjudicator of right acts of the 10077 06:48:02,810 --> 06:47:59,780 matter 10078 06:48:04,490 --> 06:48:02,820 because you know I'm not confident to do 10079 06:48:07,190 --> 06:48:04,500 that I think I'm pretty competent in a 10080 06:48:10,670 --> 06:48:07,200 lot of ways but I'm not competent to to 10081 06:48:12,708 --> 06:48:10,680 uh to do the statistical analysis I just 10082 06:48:15,250 --> 06:48:12,718 know that a lot of smart people on both 10083 06:48:18,770 --> 06:48:15,260 sides have very strong positions 10084 06:48:21,770 --> 06:48:18,780 with ESP and parapsychology 10085 06:48:23,510 --> 06:48:21,780 they do the existence of God to kind of 10086 06:48:24,890 --> 06:48:23,520 broaden it out 10087 06:48:28,850 --> 06:48:24,900 um and so it's about a connection 10088 06:48:31,968 --> 06:48:28,860 between the para parapsychology and UFOs 10089 06:48:34,430 --> 06:48:31,978 or the topic of UFOs almost never comes 10090 06:48:36,830 --> 06:48:34,440 up yeah so far the UFOs has not come up 10091 06:48:39,590 --> 06:48:36,840 but parapsychology and ESP is and the 10092 06:48:42,770 --> 06:48:39,600 way we approach it is assume it to be 10093 06:48:45,948 --> 06:48:42,780 true and I always make the caveat that I 10094 06:48:48,830 --> 06:48:45,958 don't assume it to be true but if it is 10095 06:48:50,750 --> 06:48:48,840 what what would it mean and how would it 10096 06:48:53,030 --> 06:48:50,760 work and what are some of the mechanisms 10097 06:48:55,490 --> 06:48:53,040 involved how could it work 10098 06:48:58,010 --> 06:48:55,500 um and explore from that kind of 10099 06:49:01,070 --> 06:48:58,020 perspective and I think we've had a 10100 06:49:05,510 --> 06:49:01,080 diverse number of ways of thinking about 10101 06:49:09,288 --> 06:49:05,520 uh ESP from just fewer pure kinds of uh 10102 06:49:13,510 --> 06:49:09,298 quasi physical uh manifestations of 10103 06:49:17,570 --> 06:49:13,520 brain waves and some hyper and Hyper 10104 06:49:19,868 --> 06:49:17,580 aware sense in a physical sense to very 10105 06:49:23,750 --> 06:49:19,878 extreme sense of multi-dimensional 10106 06:49:26,570 --> 06:49:23,760 approaches to mentality and and some 10107 06:49:28,788 --> 06:49:26,580 would would relate it to UFOs so the 10108 06:49:32,868 --> 06:49:28,798 only time we've dealt with UFO is just 10109 06:49:35,510 --> 06:49:32,878 been in in some 10110 06:49:37,788 --> 06:49:35,520 not the majority but a number of 10111 06:49:39,708 --> 06:49:37,798 explanations for extra sensory 10112 06:49:41,628 --> 06:49:39,718 perception kinds of things 10113 06:49:44,628 --> 06:49:41,638 and so 10114 06:49:46,670 --> 06:49:44,638 um you know that that is the way we 10115 06:49:48,650 --> 06:49:46,680 would have if we would approach and I 10116 06:49:50,990 --> 06:49:48,660 think we need to do more we will do more 10117 06:49:52,610 --> 06:49:51,000 on reincarnation because that affects 10118 06:49:55,548 --> 06:49:52,620 Global philosophy or religion how 10119 06:49:56,990 --> 06:49:55,558 different uh groups uh think about these 10120 06:50:00,410 --> 06:49:57,000 questions 10121 06:50:02,690 --> 06:50:00,420 um and you know open to the Future on on 10122 06:50:05,448 --> 06:50:02,700 thinking through some of some of the 10123 06:50:07,610 --> 06:50:05,458 issues uh you know I'm pretty much uh a 10124 06:50:11,448 --> 06:50:07,620 skeptic on everything I mean that's my 10125 06:50:13,490 --> 06:50:11,458 mental set on on all sides of the issue 10126 06:50:16,310 --> 06:50:13,500 um sometimes I don't even know where I 10127 06:50:17,930 --> 06:50:16,320 what I believe myself but every view I 10128 06:50:19,788 --> 06:50:17,940 have I want a subject to kind of 10129 06:50:24,048 --> 06:50:19,798 critical thinking 10130 06:50:26,628 --> 06:50:24,058 um so you know I I I I like to say that 10131 06:50:28,310 --> 06:50:26,638 um I keep an open mind but one eye is 10132 06:50:31,010 --> 06:50:28,320 always at least one eye is always 10133 06:50:34,310 --> 06:50:31,020 hypocritical 10134 06:50:37,850 --> 06:50:34,320 Rob Ross has to get going so I just want 10135 06:50:40,128 --> 06:50:37,860 to promote need to know as well as the 10136 06:50:41,330 -->

10151 06:51:20,510 --> 06:51:17,940 consider yourself a podcaster or you 10152 06:51:22,310 --> 06:51:20,520 consider what is it that you 10153 06:51:24,530 --> 06:51:22,320 that's akin to podcasting it's 10154 06:51:26,090 --> 06:51:24,540 interviews it's like legit interviews 10155 06:51:27,590 --> 06:51:26,100 but 10156 06:51:29,270 --> 06:51:27,600 I'm curious what you classify yourself 10157 06:51:35,628 --> 06:51:29,280 as 10158 06:51:41,770 --> 06:51:35,638 myself other people can do it I just 10159 06:51:46,850 --> 06:51:44,270 three or four different forms that we've 10160 06:51:49,850 --> 06:51:46,860 used originally it was very high 10161 06:51:53,628 --> 06:51:49,860 production value interviews 10162 06:51:57,530 --> 06:51:53,638 um and conversations that we would do in 10163 06:52:00,288 --> 06:51:57,540 a very short segments of uh seven to 10164 06:52:02,990 --> 06:52:00,298 twelve minute segments when we do live 10165 06:52:05,810 --> 06:52:03,000 interviews on location I mean in person 10166 06:52:09,170 --> 06:52:05,820 location uh interviews and then those 10167 06:52:13,490 --> 06:52:09,180 would be uh used on our website and and 10168 06:52:16,490 --> 06:52:13,500 YouTube as whole uh little chunks and 10169 06:52:19,128 --> 06:52:16,500 then we take excerpts of that of each of 10170 06:52:20,990 --> 06:52:19,138 the segments two and a half or three and 10171 06:52:24,410 --> 06:52:21,000 a half minutes and weave them together 10172 06:52:27,650 --> 06:52:24,420 into half hour television shows so we've 10173 06:52:28,868 --> 06:52:27,660 now done over 300 television shows over 10174 06:52:33,010 --> 06:52:28,878 20 years 10175 06:52:35,390 --> 06:52:33,020 and most of them will have four to six 10176 06:52:38,090 --> 06:52:35,400 contributors in each one in which we've 10177 06:52:41,930 --> 06:52:38,100 honed down those particular interviews 10178 06:52:45,830 --> 06:52:41,940 and and create sort of a a narrative Arc 10179 06:52:48,650 --> 06:52:45,840 uh about a topic that is in general a 10180 06:52:52,250 --> 06:52:48,660 sophisticated topic like The Observer 10181 06:52:54,650 --> 06:52:52,260 and quantum mechanics or uh the 10182 06:52:57,850 --> 06:52:54,660 different mechanisms how the brain could 10183 06:53:02,150 --> 06:52:57,860 create mind or 10184 06:53:04,850 --> 06:53:02,160 the nature of of a deity if if it said 10185 06:53:06,650 --> 06:53:04,860 that God knows everything what does that 10186 06:53:08,990 --> 06:53:06,660 mean does that mean God knows the future 10187 06:53:11,570 --> 06:53:09,000 is there free will with that those kinds 10188 06:53:14,030 --> 06:53:11,580 of sophisticated kinds of questions that 10189 06:53:15,770 --> 06:53:14,040 we weave a narrative on and then of 10190 06:53:17,270 --> 06:53:15,780 course since the pandemic we've started 10191 06:53:20,750 --> 06:53:17,280 online 10192 06:53:22,968 --> 06:53:20,760 um interviews as as we're doing now 10193 06:53:26,690 --> 06:53:22,978 um and and that that has its own 10194 06:53:28,670 --> 06:53:26,700 different Cadence to it that uh is is 10195 06:53:30,830 --> 06:53:28,680 great we can reach more people that way 10196 06:53:34,010 --> 06:53:30,840 that we wouldn't ordinarily do because 10197 06:53:36,288 --> 06:53:34,020 in the past when you're on location uh 10198 06:53:38,208 --> 06:53:36,298 you really confined to the people that 10199 06:53:40,730 --> 06:53:38,218 you can bring to that vocation or 10200 06:53:43,930 --> 06:53:40,740 generally it's at a conference 10201 06:53:46,310 --> 06:53:43,940 um and that sometimes leads to a 10202 06:53:49,128 --> 06:53:46,320 homogeneous genetic that's not 10203 06:53:51,650 --> 06:53:49,138 appropriate which we we really need more 10204 06:53:53,030 --> 06:53:51,660 diversity in every every sense of the 10205 06:53:58,490 --> 06:53:53,040 word diversity 10206 06:54:04,628 --> 06:54:01,788 Amy please I want to hear from you 10207 06:54:08,448 --> 06:54:06,650 yeah so 10208 06:54:10,670 --> 06:54:08,458 um yeah I mean I agree with him about 10209 06:54:12,350 --> 06:54:10,680 the diversity of ideas and in fact it's 10210 06:54:14,750 --> 06:54:12,360 something that I think makes this whole 10211 06:54:17,628 --> 06:54:14,760 network of people incredibly interesting 10212 06:54:19,430 --> 06:54:17,638 is everybody bounces ideas off of each 10213 06:54:22,310 --> 06:54:19,440 other and sometimes we don't always 10214 06:54:25,010 --> 06:54:22,320 agree but you know 10215 06:54:27,110 --> 06:54:25,020 I I just I get so connected with people 10216 06:54:30,048 --> 06:54:27,120 in this community and I have so much fun 10217 06:54:32,690 --> 06:54:30,058 with people in this community and I just 10218 06:54:34,730 --> 06:54:32,700 you know I'm just really happy that we 10219 06:54:36,770 --> 06:54:34,740 all can connect on this like awesome day 10220 06:54:38,750 --> 06:54:36,780 with theories of everything with Kurt 10221 06:54:41,390 --> 06:54:38,760 and I just hope that people take in a 10222 06:54:43,788 --> 06:54:41,400 lot of the fun that can go with ufology 10223 06:54:45,890 --> 06:54:43,798 because I know we can get into these 10224 06:54:47,868 --> 06:54:45,900 these these ideas right which is like 10225 06:54:50,570 --> 06:54:47,878 their frauds they're not frauds blah 10226 06:54:52,968 --> 06:54:50,580 blah blah but like I think if we just 10227 06:54:56,030 --> 06:54:52,978 kind of realize that ufology is about 10228 06:55:01,070 --> 06:54:56,040 looking for the real UFO 10229 06:55:02,510 --> 06:55:01,080 I think when people focus on that a 10230 06:55:04,788 --> 06:55:02,520 little bit better it can really open up 10231 06:55:07,910 --> 06:55:04,798 a conversation to the possibilities that 10232 06:55:11,448 --> 06:55:07,920 we haven't even studied yet 10233 06:55:16,850 --> 06:55:13,548 the thought that comes to mind is 10234 06:55:21,590 --> 06:55:16,860 whether different intelligences would 10235 06:55:23,830 --> 06:55:21,600 come to similar formings in specific or 10236 06:55:27,650 --> 06:55:23,840 in general of theories of everything 10237 06:55:29,570 --> 06:55:27,660 would information Theory be something 10238 06:55:32,150 --> 06:55:29,580 with different kinds of pattern 10239 06:55:35,090 --> 06:55:32,160 recognition intelligences be shared or 10240 06:55:36,948 --> 06:55:35,100 communicable would they come to some of 10241 06:55:39,590 --> 06:55:36,958 the conclusions about Markov blankets 10242 06:55:41,930 --> 06:55:39,600 and how Markov blankets are related to 10243 06:55:45,048 --> 06:55:41,940 action and perception that we've come to 10244 06:55:49,548 --> 06:55:45,058 in active inference and communicating 10245 06:55:51,708 --> 06:55:49,558 across that blanket is as a non-ufo 10246 06:55:54,890 --> 06:55:51,718 researcher how I sometimes hear those 10247 06:55:58,250 --> 06:55:54,900 discussions what electromagnetic Spectra 10248 06:55:59,810 --> 06:55:58,260 and what kinds of semantics will be 10249 06:56:01,010 --> 06:55:59,820 conveyable and how can we have a 10250 06:56:03,468 --> 06:56:01,020 dialogue 10251 06:56:04,730 --> 06:56:03,478 synchronously or through time when there 10252 06:56:09,830 --> 06:56:04,740 might be entities that exist at 10253 06:56:14,150 --> 06:56:11,750 Lou I want to hear from you 10254 06:56:16,510 --> 06:56:14,160 if you don't Wow first thing I thought 10255 06:56:20,750 --> 06:56:16,520 of was an ansible 10256 06:56:22,910 --> 06:56:20,760 to communicate across great distances I 10257 06:56:23,990 --> 06:56:22,920 don't know if that would work in 10258 06:56:27,110 --> 06:56:24,000 um 10259 06:56:28,610 --> 06:56:27,120 I guess from uh yeah that's exactly 10260 06:56:30,830 --> 06:56:28,620 where it's from it's from Morrison Scott 10261 06:56:32,810 --> 06:56:30,840 card zenders game it's basically a 10262 06:56:35,868 --> 06:56:32,820 device that allows you to communicate 10263 06:56:37,730 --> 06:56:35,878 with people that are light years away 10264 06:56:40,128 --> 06:56:37,740 um in a quicker more efficient way 10265 06:56:42,590 --> 06:56:40,138 because you send an email to somebody 10266 06:56:46,010 --> 06:56:42,600 who's a thousand light years away and it 10267 06:56:48,410 --> 06:56:46,020 takes them a year to get it you know 10268 06:56:49,788 --> 06:56:48,420 um through with this ansible so it's 10269 06:56:52,850 --> 06:56:49,798 like every time you check in with 10270 06:56:54,890 --> 06:56:52,860 somebody it's it's like basically a year 10271 06:56:56,690 --> 06:56:54,900 after they sent it so so much has 10272 06:56:58,128 --> 06:56:56,700 happened already between the time you 10273 06:56:59,750 --> 06:56:58,138 opened that message and the time it was 10274 06:57:01,548 --> 06:56:59,760 sent so 10275 06:57:04,070 --> 06:57:01,558 that's what makes that's the first thing 10276 06:57:07,128 --> 06:57:04,080 I thought of uh well we're thinking of 10277 06:57:09,708 --> 06:57:07,138 like sort of the open-mindedness of it 10278 06:57:12,830 --> 06:57:09,718 um you know I've sort of 10279 06:57:15,650 --> 06:57:12,840 really cheap dental 180 on My Views when 10280 06:57:17,810 --> 06:57:15,660 it comes to the UFO topic 10281 06:57:19,570 --> 06:57:17,820 um you know I got really close to the 10282 06:57:23,090 --> 06:57:19,580 top 10283 06:57:25,368 --> 06:57:23,100 and uh and saw that I mean at least to 10284 06:57:28,548 --> 06:57:25,378 me this is just a really sophisticated 10285 06:57:31,310 --> 06:57:28,558 way to hide extraordinary top secret 10286 06:57:34,010 --> 06:57:31,320 Tech and holes in our national security 10287 06:57:34,730 --> 06:57:34,020 system that are really embarrassing 10288 06:57:36,468 --> 06:57:34,740 um 10289 06:57:38,270 --> 06:57:36,478 either way this story is still really 10290 06:57:42,288 --> 06:57:38,280 fun and interesting 10291 06:57:43,730 --> 06:57:42,298 um whatever the reality is of it uh but 10292 06:57:50,090 --> 06:57:43,740 yeah 10293 06:57:53,750 --> 06:57:50,100 say 2023 I just hope for more clarity 10294 06:57:56,448 --> 06:57:53,760 on it from all so do you think 10295 06:57:59,448 --> 06:57:56,458 is it okay so do you think that China 10296 06:58:01,430 --> 06:57:59,458 also has access to Tech like this and if 10297 06:58:03,110 --> 06:58:01,440 so I'm curious Robert what you would 10298 06:58:05,150 --> 06:58:03,120 think because he's you're an expert on 10299 06:58:08,150 --> 06:58:05,160 China at least you're the most 10300 06:58:10,430 --> 06:58:08,160 knowledgeable about it here 10301 06:58:11,810 --> 06:58:10,440 salute what would that like do you think 10302 06:58:13,490 --> 06:58:11,820 so do you think it's just the government 10303 06:58:14,990 --> 06:58:13,500 that has access to this technology you 10304 06:58:17,810 --> 06:58:15,000 think maybe China as well 10305 06:58:20,570 --> 06:58:17,820 no I don't think the China has access to 10306 06:58:24,830 --> 06:58:20,580 this kind of Technology 10307 06:58:26,208 --> 06:58:24,840 okay so Robert if you don't mind 10308 06:58:29,628 --> 06:58:26,218 I don't know if it's a foolish question 10309 06:58:32,510 --> 06:58:29,638 or not but is it possible that China has 10310 06:58:35,990 --> 06:58:32,520 Tech like that that we see in UFOs like 10311 06:58:38,230 --> 06:58:36,000 Tic Tacs and extraordinarily fast 10312 06:58:42,170 --> 06:58:38,240 craft 10313 06:58:44,770 --> 06:58:42,180 no no question is absurd I I like sure 10314 06:58:46,670 --> 06:58:44,780 great 10315 06:58:49,368 --> 06:58:46,680 yeah 10316 06:58:52,010 --> 06:58:49,378 the more the question is not whether 10317 06:58:55,070 --> 06:58:52,020 it's absurd whether it's absurd enough 10318 06:58:57,110 --> 06:58:55,080 uh that's a good way to kind of keep 10319 06:59:01,430 --> 06:58:57,120 keep our mind sharp 10320 06:59:03,890 --> 06:59:01,440 um you know I I'm not a believer in 10321 06:59:06,468 --> 06:59:03,900 a lot of conspiracy theories 10322 06:59:11,208 --> 06:59:06,478 um and so I do not believe that either 10323 06:59:15,590 --> 06:59:11,218 any government is providing super secret 10324 06:59:18,708 --> 06:59:15,600 information that that almost defies the 10325 06:59:21,650 --> 06:59:18,718 laws of physics uh that that's not 10326 06:59:24,110 --> 06:59:21,660 something that I would subscribe to 10327 06:59:26,810 --> 06:59:24,120 for any any country under any condition 10328 06:59:28,968 --> 06:59:26,820 there's no conspiracy in the media to 10329 06:59:32,330 --> 06:59:28,978 keep things quiet 10330 06:59:35,390 --> 06:59:32,340 um so I'm a hyper skeptic about all that 10331 06:59:38,270 --> 06:59:35,400 Kristen Garrett I'm not saying that 10332 06:59:41,230 --> 06:59:38,280 there aren't some some uh circumstances 10333 06:59:43,628 --> 06:59:41,240 some events that may not be explainable 10334 06:59:47,208 --> 06:59:43,638 but there 10335 06:59:50,150 --> 06:59:47,218 if that's the case the answer in my 10336 06:59:52,868 --> 06:59:50,160 opinion will certainly not be secret 10337 06:59:55,548 --> 06:59:52,878 government agencies in any country 10338 06:59:57,890 --> 06:59:55,558 developing these Technologies I think 10339 06:59:59,810 --> 06:59:57,900 that's impossible 10340 07:00:01,190 --> 06:59:59,820 well if you look at the recent Twitter 10341 07:00:04,128 --> 07:00:01,200 files I mean 10342 07:00:07,788 --> 07:00:04,138 it looks like conspiracy is kind of the 10343 07:00:09,350 --> 07:00:07,798 actual Norm you know all of those all of 10344 07:00:12,468 --> 07:00:09,360 the Twitter files conspiracy theories 10345 07:00:14,570 --> 07:00:12,478 basically maybe but proven true so I I 10346 07:00:16,850 --> 07:00:14,580 don't know and you look at when you know 10347 07:00:18,830 --> 07:00:16,860 Ross was talking about the snow job 10348 07:00:21,110 --> 07:00:18,840 I think if you look the the report was 10349 07:00:23,810 --> 07:00:21,120 supposed to release October 31st 10350 07:00:26,208 --> 07:00:23,820 and the weekend prior you basically had 10351 07:00:28,490 --> 07:00:26,218 Matt you know mainstream articles and 10352 07:00:31,910 --> 07:00:28,500 all the major papers right New York Post 10353 07:00:33,590 --> 07:00:31,920 Washington Times And basically 10354 07:00:35,208 --> 07:00:33,600 saying that there's nothing to see here 10355 07:00:36,410 --> 07:00:35,218 right before the report had even been 10356 07:00:39,708 --> 07:00:36,420 released 10357 07:00:41,810 --> 07:00:39,718 you basically have these you know kind 10358 07:00:43,368 --> 07:00:41,820 of lower journalist hacks I think Ross 10359 07:00:45,468 --> 07:00:43,378 called them but he didn't use a pleasant 10360 07:00:46,910 --> 07:00:45,478 term but basically they're releasing 10361 07:00:48,410 --> 07:00:46,920 these articles saying that there's 10362 07:00:50,030 --> 07:00:48,420 nothing to see in the report before the 10363 07:00:51,890 --> 07:00:50,040 report even comes out 10364 07:00:54,048 --> 07:00:51,900 and then woe and behold they get kind of 10365 07:00:55,968 --> 07:00:54,058 negative reaction from these articles 10366 07:00:57,948 --> 07:00:55,978 and then the report is still not out you 10367 07:00:59,690 --> 07:00:57,958 know it's still delayed so 10368 07:01:02,868 --> 07:00:59,700 I don't know and then you look there's 10369 07:01:05,930 --> 07:01:02,878 still no mainstream coverage at all of 10370 07:01:08,750 --> 07:01:05,940 the NBA 2023 I mean there's just nothing 10371 07:01:10,788 --> 07:01:08,760 it seems just it's markedly missing 10372 07:01:12,948 --> 07:01:10,798 and you look at the FBI collusion and 10373 07:01:15,288 --> 07:01:12,958 the Twitter files to control the the 10374 07:01:16,730 --> 07:01:15,298 actual media I mean it I don't know it 10375 07:01:18,468 --> 07:01:16,740 just seems like 10376 07:01:20,230 --> 07:01:18,478 I think what we're doing here is really 10377 07:01:23,090 --> 07:01:20,240 the way the step forward that that 10378 07:01:24,650 --> 07:01:23,100 Kurt's doing and just as we're linking 10379 07:01:26,208 --> 07:01:24,660 up these you know more connections you 10380 07:01:28,850 --> 07:01:26,218 know I know four more people now today 10381 07:01:30,590 --> 07:01:28,860 you know than I did before before this 10382 07:01:32,690 --> 07:01:30,600 podcast and now we're just linking up 10383 07:01:35,030 --> 07:01:32,700 and now information travels faster and 10384 07:01:36,770 --> 07:01:35,040 it doesn't matter what they what some 10385 07:01:38,330 --> 07:01:36,780 secret office sends to The Washington 10386 07:01:42,910 --> 07:01:38,340 Post because we're all just talking to 10387 07:01:47,810 --> 07:01:45,650 and your expeditions 10388 07:01:49,070 --> 07:01:47,820 and then I want to hear from Garrett 10389 07:01:51,170 --> 07:01:49,080 I'm sorry 10390 07:01:54,410 --> 07:01:51,180 can you talk about the work that you've 10391 07:01:56,628 --> 07:01:54,420 done this year with wave collapse 10392 07:01:59,330 --> 07:01:56,638 um so I was just thinking about that um 10393 07:02:01,788 --> 07:01:59,340 I had an interview with Dean radden he 10394 07:02:04,430 --> 07:02:01,798 works he's a scientist doctor at The 10395 07:02:08,390 --> 07:02:04,440 Institute of noetic Sciences and he's 10396 07:02:11,330 --> 07:02:08,400 proven now 14 out of 30 experiments have 10397 07:02:14,030 --> 07:02:11,340 proven that you can mentally think about 10398 07:02:16,430 --> 07:02:14,040 or observe the double set experiment at 10399 07:02:18,410 --> 07:02:16,440 distance and you can affect it so you 10400 07:02:20,330 --> 07:02:18,420 can collapse the wave function 10401 07:02:22,010 --> 07:02:20,340 uh and he proved that that was uh 10402 07:02:23,690 --> 07:02:22,020 distance independent 10403 07:02:25,610 --> 07:02:23,700 and so what that would mean is you could 10404 07:02:27,048 --> 07:02:25,620 put a Ouija board this is my idea or I 10405 07:02:28,670 --> 07:02:27,058 don't know my idea but anyway you could 10406 07:02:31,368 --> 07:02:28,680 put like a Ouija board or a keyboard 10407 07:02:32,868 --> 07:02:31,378 right on Mars and then you could sit 10408 07:02:34,070 --> 07:02:32,878 here on Earth and now you could just 10409 07:02:36,708 --> 07:02:34,080 think about 10410 07:02:39,170 --> 07:02:36,718 a the letter A you know 10411 07:02:40,850 --> 07:02:39,180 and that would if you had a sensitive 10412 07:02:43,490 --> 07:02:40,860 enough instrument now according to these 10413 07:02:45,830 --> 07:02:43,500 tests these experiments that Dean radden 10414 07:02:47,930 --> 07:02:45,840 did is you could detect that someone's 10415 07:02:49,670 --> 07:02:47,940 thinking about that letter A it 10416 07:02:51,288 --> 07:02:49,680 collapsed the wave function I think you 10417 07:02:53,510 --> 07:02:51,298 know from anywhere in the universe it'd 10418 07:02:55,610 --> 07:02:53,520 be non-local so in this case you could 10419 07:02:57,890 --> 07:02:55,620 just like think of a Ouija board and 10420 07:02:59,810 --> 07:02:57,900 transfer information anywhere in the 10421 07:03:01,730 --> 07:02:59,820 universe I don't know it seems like uh 10422 07:03:03,650 --> 07:03:01,740 it's very uh exciting so that's 10423 07:03:06,170 --> 07:03:03,660 collapsing the wave function with with 10424 07:03:08,090 --> 07:03:06,180 your brain I guess 10425 07:03:10,910 --> 07:03:08,100 Garrett what's on your mind 10426 07:03:12,468 --> 07:03:10,920 yeah well first of all thanks again for 10427 07:03:14,628 --> 07:03:12,478 having me and let me join in for this 10428 07:03:16,310 --> 07:03:14,638 conversation I it seems like there's 10429 07:03:18,230 --> 07:03:16,320 just about everybody who's in the room 10430 07:03:20,208 --> 07:03:18,240 right now is a podcaster or at least is 10431 07:03:21,110 --> 07:03:20,218 is making some kind of a kind of a 10432 07:03:22,730 --> 07:03:21,120 project that has to do with having 10433 07:03:25,430 --> 07:03:22,740 conversations right 10434 07:03:27,708 --> 07:03:25,440 I I kind of had a question sort of 10435 07:03:29,090 --> 07:03:27,718 directed at Robert and sort of at you 10436 07:03:31,250 --> 07:03:29,100 Kurt even 10437 07:03:34,788 --> 07:03:31,260 um about conversation because I've 10438 07:03:36,590 --> 07:03:34,798 noticed like obviously for I mean you 10439 07:03:38,090 --> 07:03:36,600 know anyways Kurt that I was doing you 10440 07:03:41,990 --> 07:03:38,100 know a project focused on conversation 10441 07:03:44,390 --> 07:03:42,000 for basically all of 2021 10442 07:03:47,690 --> 07:03:44,400 and I ended up kind of taking a lot of a 10443 07:03:49,788 --> 07:03:47,700 break this this past year because at a 10444 07:03:51,770 --> 07:03:49,798 certain point especially like if you if 10445 07:03:52,548 --> 07:03:51,780 you get honest and very 10446 07:03:54,650 --> 07:03:52,558 um 10447 07:03:56,030 --> 07:03:54,660 you actually ask the questions that 10448 07:03:57,288 --> 07:03:56,040 matter to you to a lot of different 10449 07:03:59,570 --> 07:03:57,298 people and really listen to their 10450 07:04:01,490 --> 07:03:59,580 answers it can be really emotionally 10451 07:04:03,708 --> 07:04:01,500 jarring it can be kind of overwhelming 10452 07:04:05,510 --> 07:04:03,718 in terms of taking in ideas and I wonder 10453 07:04:07,788 --> 07:04:05,520 like especially Robert you having spent 10454 07:04:10,208 --> 07:04:07,798 you said like 20 years talking to people 10455 07:04:12,590 --> 07:04:10,218 about very very deep topics 10456 07:04:15,170 --> 07:04:12,600 how do you like how do you keep an open 10457 07:04:16,670 --> 07:04:15,180 minded like you said and have kind of 10458 07:04:18,708 --> 07:04:16,680 one that's still looking critically 10459 07:04:20,628 --> 07:04:18,718 without kind of over correcting and 10460 07:04:22,788 --> 07:04:20,638 becoming too critical and while still 10461 07:04:26,570 --> 07:04:22,798 yeah it's still being open 10462 07:04:28,250 --> 07:04:26,580 I think over correcting is a very uh a 10463 07:04:32,090 --> 07:04:28,260 very good point to highlight because 10464 07:04:35,270 --> 07:04:32,100 there's always a danger in that in uh in 10465 07:04:37,730 --> 07:04:35,280 virtually everything that one does in 10466 07:04:40,548 --> 07:04:37,740 controversial areas 10467 07:04:42,230 --> 07:04:40,558 um that you you want to you want to 10468 07:04:44,930 --> 07:04:42,240 create the right of what you think is 10469 07:04:47,390 --> 07:04:44,940 the right impression and so you take the 10470 07:04:49,128 --> 07:04:47,400 opposite side to something that you 10471 07:04:52,910 --> 07:04:49,138 don't agree with and I think that's a 10472 07:04:56,090 --> 07:04:52,920 danger so I I'm I'm aware of that 10473 07:04:59,270 --> 07:04:56,100 um I I I I I I can't tell you that I've 10474 07:05:01,430 --> 07:04:59,280 gotten either uh bored or overwhelmed 10475 07:05:02,390 --> 07:05:01,440 after doing 10476 07:05:05,810 --> 07:05:02,400 um 10477 07:05:09,948 --> 07:05:05,820 know thousands of of uh of interview 10478 07:05:12,310 --> 07:05:09,958 questions with many hundreds maybe 500 10479 07:05:14,810 --> 07:05:12,320 people over these years in in 10480 07:05:18,230 --> 07:05:14,820 substantial depth 10481 07:05:22,010 --> 07:05:18,240 um I I can't tell you why I am any 10482 07:05:23,090 --> 07:05:22,020 closer to any real answers but I can 10483 07:05:26,208 --> 07:05:23,100 tell you is that the question you get 10484 07:05:29,030 --> 07:05:26,218 the most are you closer right right is 10485 07:05:31,310 --> 07:05:29,040 it we're usually you people 10486 07:05:32,810 --> 07:05:31,320 um always put a definitive article in 10487 07:05:35,330 --> 07:05:32,820 there and say are you closer to the 10488 07:05:37,788 --> 07:05:35,340 truth or I like watching closer to the 10489 07:05:40,430 --> 07:05:37,798 truth and I always correct them and say 10490 07:05:43,968 --> 07:05:40,440 it's not the truth it's closer to Truth 10491 07:05:46,270 --> 07:05:43,978 uh when it first started the manager of 10492 07:05:49,670 --> 07:05:46,280 the small PBS station that we started on 10493 07:05:52,968 --> 07:05:49,680 said when we talked about the title 10494 07:05:54,708 --> 07:05:52,978 closer to the truth and I said that's 10495 07:05:56,690 --> 07:05:54,718 not what this is going to be about it 10496 07:05:59,270 --> 07:05:56,700 can't be the truth it has to be closer 10497 07:06:03,110 --> 07:05:59,280 to true the present progressive kind of 10498 07:06:04,150 --> 07:06:03,120 understanding and when people have asked 10499 07:06:11,090 --> 07:06:04,160 me 10500 07:06:14,690 --> 07:06:11,100 years I say I I appreciate 10501 07:06:16,670 --> 07:06:14,700 questions more I deeply understand the 10502 07:06:20,090 --> 07:06:16,680 questions in all of these categories 10503 07:06:23,390 --> 07:06:20,100 much more than I ever did and in fact I 10504 07:06:25,490 --> 07:06:23,400 love the questions and I luxuriate in 10505 07:06:28,070 --> 07:06:25,500 the questions themselves in their 10506 07:06:31,448 --> 07:06:28,080 specificity in how they articulate 10507 07:06:33,730 --> 07:06:31,458 together and that gives me a kind of 10508 07:06:37,548 --> 07:06:33,740 satisfaction 10509 07:06:40,190 --> 07:06:37,558 do I have a chance on answers I may but 10510 07:06:43,310 --> 07:06:40,200 I don't if I would I wouldn't take my 10511 07:06:45,288 --> 07:06:43,320 own opinions to Syria but I mean you're 10512 07:06:47,150 --> 07:06:45,298 asking high-stakes questions how do you 10513 07:06:49,190 --> 07:06:47,160 how do you engage with those like that 10514 07:06:50,930 --> 07:06:49,200 deeply unless I mean you must have some 10515 07:06:52,730 --> 07:06:50,940 sort of something grounding you that's 10516 07:06:56,030 --> 07:06:52,740 keeping you from feeling the anxiety of 10517 07:06:58,788 --> 07:06:56,040 like of the answers you know 10518 07:07:01,368 --> 07:06:58,798 yeah I I think you know I have a normal 10519 07:07:02,930 --> 07:07:01,378 life I have a family life and I deal 10520 07:07:04,330 --> 07:07:02,940 with other things in the world that's 10521 07:07:07,010 --> 07:07:04,340 very grounding 10522 07:07:08,448 --> 07:07:07,020 Carl Jung said that as well he said 10523 07:07:09,890 --> 07:07:08,458 that's what separates him from Nietzsche 10524 07:07:11,750 --> 07:07:09,900 is that Nietzsche could just go along 10525 07:07:13,670 --> 07:07:11,760 with his ideas and he didn't have a wife 10526 07:07:16,490 --> 07:07:13,680 he didn't have commitments to other 10527 07:07:18,350 --> 07:07:16,500 people and I just even just reading that 10528 07:07:20,690 --> 07:07:18,360 alone has helped me psychologically 10529 07:07:22,368 --> 07:07:20,700 tremendously to know that there is such 10530 07:07:24,708 --> 07:07:22,378 a thing as being too much in your head 10531 07:07:26,510 --> 07:07:24,718 and floating above and getting carried 10532 07:07:28,310 --> 07:07:26,520 away by the wind 10533 07:07:29,690 --> 07:07:28,320 sorry I interrupted your answer Robert 10534 07:07:31,010 --> 07:07:29,700 and then I want to hear Daniel I want to 10535 07:07:35,090 --> 07:07:31,020 hear what your answer is to the same 10536 07:07:41,208 --> 07:07:37,730 sorry Robert I interrupted you no it's 10537 07:07:43,788 --> 07:07:41,218 it that's perfectly fine uh I think the 10538 07:07:47,150 --> 07:07:43,798 grounding is is good I have you know two 10539 07:07:50,150 --> 07:07:47,160 kinds of grounding one is the uh his 10540 07:07:52,010 --> 07:07:50,160 family and responsibilities uh for 10541 07:07:55,850 --> 07:07:52,020 family and children and grandchildren 10542 07:07:59,690 --> 07:07:55,860 and all the things that flow from that 10543 07:08:01,548 --> 07:07:59,700 um and then the other part of my life is 10544 07:08:04,910 --> 07:08:01,558 primary related 10545 07:08:06,288 --> 07:08:04,920 most people who know me either know me 10546 07:08:09,410 --> 07:08:06,298 for close to the truth or know me from 10547 07:08:12,048 --> 07:08:09,420 China very few associate the two and if 10548 07:08:14,208 --> 07:08:12,058 people ask me I'm very surprised when 10549 07:08:15,590 --> 07:08:14,218 I'm in my China mode that I do closer to 10550 07:08:18,410 --> 07:08:15,600 truth which seems radically different 10551 07:08:20,390 --> 07:08:18,420 which is uh I always say well that's my 10552 07:08:22,850 --> 07:08:20,400 evil twin brother I don't really talk 10553 07:08:25,128 --> 07:08:22,860 that very much which one's the evil one 10554 07:08:26,868 --> 07:08:25,138 the China One well whoever's asking me 10555 07:08:30,490 --> 07:08:26,878 the other one 10556 07:08:36,288 --> 07:08:32,990 because of the truth the China guy is 10557 07:08:38,750 --> 07:08:36,298 the evil even the evil twin 10558 07:08:40,368 --> 07:08:38,760 um and so you know but that generally 10559 07:08:42,650 --> 07:08:40,378 gets me off the hook 10560 07:08:45,770 --> 07:08:42,660 yeah 10561 07:08:48,650 --> 07:08:45,780 please 10562 07:08:51,170 --> 07:08:48,660 I would second all of these embodied 10563 07:08:53,510 --> 07:08:51,180 groundings and to provide a more 10564 07:08:56,510 --> 07:08:53,520 conceptual answer it made me think of 10565 07:08:59,570 --> 07:08:56,520 the quotation by Lev fagotsky which is 10566 07:09:04,368 --> 07:08:59,580 through others we become ourselves and 10567 07:09:07,070 --> 07:09:04,378 so in dialogue it isn't necessarily just 10568 07:09:09,530 --> 07:09:07,080 getting whiplashed around and taking on 10569 07:09:12,170 --> 07:09:09,540 the other person's position in our heart 10570 07:09:14,868 --> 07:09:12,180 but it is about entertaining what is 10571 07:09:18,110 --> 07:09:14,878 said and about listening attentively and 10572 07:09:20,390 --> 07:09:18,120 probing actively and after a 10573 07:09:22,070 --> 07:09:20,400 conversation a research or a personal 10574 07:09:25,788 --> 07:09:22,080 conversation 10575 07:09:28,910 --> 07:09:25,798 I find that it's possible to feel more 10576 07:09:31,850 --> 07:09:28,920 of who I am more distinctive in that 10577 07:09:33,890 --> 07:09:31,860 sense and also more aligned with a 10578 07:09:38,628 --> 07:09:33,900 broader individual and Collective 10579 07:09:42,170 --> 07:09:38,638 purpose so seeing conversations not 10580 07:09:44,930 --> 07:09:42,180 merely for the information overload and 10581 07:09:48,770 --> 07:09:44,940 cognitive distances that they can induce 10582 07:09:51,468 --> 07:09:48,780 but also as these incremental stages of 10583 07:09:54,468 --> 07:09:51,478 differentiation by which we become who 10584 07:09:55,850 --> 07:09:54,478 we truly are and carry out the work that 10585 07:09:57,850 --> 07:09:55,860 we're here to do 10586 07:10:00,468 --> 07:09:57,860 hmm 10587 07:10:02,510 --> 07:10:00,478 and on the other hand it's important to 10588 07:10:05,330 --> 07:10:02,520 recognize the opposite problem which is 10589 07:10:08,390 --> 07:10:05,340 that after dealing with the kinds of 10590 07:10:10,670 --> 07:10:08,400 ultimate questions that some of us go 10591 07:10:13,310 --> 07:10:10,680 with Kirk you do and assume some of the 10592 07:10:16,310 --> 07:10:13,320 others uh that you can become employed 10593 07:10:19,730 --> 07:10:16,320 to it you can habituate and they they 10594 07:10:22,010 --> 07:10:19,740 can lose their power and it dulls your 10595 07:10:23,930 --> 07:10:22,020 senses and so I'm aware of that 10596 07:10:25,310 --> 07:10:23,940 possibility that that's not you know 10597 07:10:27,170 --> 07:10:25,320 I've not had that problem the question 10598 07:10:29,448 --> 07:10:27,180 yeah yeah I'm not at this they have too 10599 07:10:31,128 --> 07:10:29,458 much power these questions right now I 10600 07:10:34,128 --> 07:10:31,138 look forward to that 10601 07:10:36,288 --> 07:10:34,138 so Amy and Lou as an ending question and 10602 07:10:37,548 --> 07:10:36,298 I gotta kick you all out as much as I 10603

the 10721 07:15:25,910 --> 07:15:24,058 23rd Millennium before we can get there 10722 07:15:29,930 --> 07:15:25,920 everyone I find that to be the case as 10723 07:15:32,510 --> 07:15:29,940 well Rob Robert sorry because I get in I 10724 07:15:34,548 --> 07:15:32,520 get emailed on a daily basis people's 10725 07:15:37,128 --> 07:15:34,558 toes and I still encourage that 10726 07:15:38,990 --> 07:15:37,138 because I I tag them and eventually I 10727 07:15:41,208 --> 07:15:39,000 would like to go through them 10728 07:15:42,830 --> 07:15:41,218 but it's a growing list and so someone 10729 07:15:45,048 --> 07:15:42,840 that I said two years ago yeah I'll get 10730 07:15:47,628 --> 07:15:45,058 to you in three months now that's that's 10731 07:15:50,570 --> 07:15:47,638 I can't even see that that's that's 10732 07:15:52,788 --> 07:15:50,580 years in the future and I would love to 10733 07:15:55,490 --> 07:15:52,798 speak with you Robert just on what your 10734 07:15:58,850 --> 07:15:55,500 insights have been and how you navigate 10735 07:16:01,690 --> 07:15:58,860 questioning the questions of these 10736 07:16:09,590 --> 07:16:06,230 this is such yeah I I would extremely 10737 07:16:13,190 --> 07:16:09,600 tumultuous topics yeah I would I would 10738 07:16:15,530 --> 07:16:13,200 uh conclude with one thought which has 10739 07:16:19,250 --> 07:16:15,540 developed uh really over the last couple 10740 07:16:24,530 --> 07:16:19,260 of years not not before and that is the 10741 07:16:27,048 --> 07:16:24,540 universal uh ubiquity and uh interest in 10742 07:16:29,628 --> 07:16:27,058 the kinds of subjects that we we talk 10743 07:16:33,770 --> 07:16:29,638 about which gives me uh great 10744 07:16:36,110 --> 07:16:33,780 encouragement for humankind because a 10745 07:16:37,310 --> 07:16:36,120 lot of the other data that we have goes 10746 07:16:40,430 --> 07:16:37,320 in the other direction 10747 07:16:44,270 --> 07:16:40,440 uh but we get and I'm sure you do two 10748 07:16:46,010 --> 07:16:44,280 curtain up others uh literally from 190 10749 07:16:50,350 --> 07:16:46,020 countries 10750 07:16:54,708 --> 07:16:50,360 um and from every ethnicity race 10751 07:16:56,390 --> 07:16:54,718 religion uh and the characteristics are 10752 07:16:59,570 --> 07:16:56,400 are so similar 10753 07:17:02,090 --> 07:16:59,580 and that to me is is uh is a very good 10754 07:17:06,368 --> 07:17:02,100 sign so kinds of things we deal with 10755 07:17:11,330 --> 07:17:06,378 have no sectarian nature about them 10756 07:17:14,510 --> 07:17:11,340 and and are a wonderful antidote I 10757 07:17:18,770 --> 07:17:14,520 believe to the poison of sectarianism 10758 07:17:20,830 --> 07:17:18,780 and tribalism and nationalism when taken 10759 07:17:24,530 --> 07:17:20,840 to an extreme as we see in many places 10760 07:17:26,390 --> 07:17:24,540 uh in the world so although that's not 10761 07:17:28,250 --> 07:17:26,400 that has never been my primary 10762 07:17:30,770 --> 07:17:28,260 motivation or even my motivation at all 10763 07:17:34,010 --> 07:17:30,780 it was the questions themselves I've 10764 07:17:36,230 --> 07:17:34,020 come to see that these questions do have 10765 07:17:38,810 --> 07:17:36,240 a salutatory effect in bringing people 10766 07:17:41,150 --> 07:17:38,820 together that I could never have 10767 07:17:45,170 --> 07:17:41,160 imagined I mean there are many people 10768 07:17:47,590 --> 07:17:45,180 who have my Same upbringings by saying 10769 07:17:49,810 --> 07:17:47,600 scientific training 10770 07:17:51,968 --> 07:17:49,820 the same 10771 07:17:56,030 --> 07:17:51,978 ethnicity 10772 07:17:57,890 --> 07:17:56,040 and who with whom I I have you know just 10773 07:18:00,350 --> 07:17:57,900 casual relationships on the other hand 10774 07:18:02,868 --> 07:18:00,360 there are people in the world of 10775 07:18:05,868 --> 07:18:02,878 completely different religious ethnicity 10776 07:18:08,330 --> 07:18:05,878 points of view who who I am unified with 10777 07:18:11,030 --> 07:18:08,340 in communication about these types of 10778 07:18:13,968 --> 07:18:11,040 subjects and I feel closer to them 10779 07:18:16,310 --> 07:18:13,978 because of the unification that we feel 10780 07:18:18,948 --> 07:18:16,320 in these kinds of topics so 10781 07:18:20,868 --> 07:18:18,958 um you know I've just I've just had that 10782 07:18:23,150 --> 07:18:20,878 since in the last couple of years maybe 10783 07:18:25,850 --> 07:18:23,160 since the pandemic actually which has 10784 07:18:29,468 --> 07:18:25,860 been a catalyst for that but to me it's 10785 07:18:31,910 --> 07:18:29,478 a sign it's a it's a a good sign of Hope 10786 07:18:33,890 --> 07:18:31,920 Which flies against a lot of the other 10787 07:18:35,330 --> 07:18:33,900 things we say 10788 07:18:37,190 --> 07:18:35,340 so 10789 07:18:39,230 --> 07:18:37,200 okay well thank you all for coming 10790 07:18:42,890 -->

um so basically looking at it Mount 10848 07:21:09,410 --> 07:21:08,100 Wilson Ranch uh for those of you who 10849 07:21:10,910 --> 07:21:09,420 don't know 10850 07:21:14,570 --> 07:21:10,920 um is 10851 07:21:16,610 --> 07:21:14,580 um up in uh near Pioche in Nevada about 10852 07:21:20,990 --> 07:21:16,620 a hundred and something miles north of 10853 07:21:23,690 --> 07:21:21,000 Las Vegas but uh part of our research 10854 07:21:26,448 --> 07:21:23,700 during the niz operation at the very 10855 07:21:27,948 --> 07:21:26,458 beginning of the news Operation was uh 10856 07:21:30,830 --> 07:21:27,958 to kind of split our time between 10857 07:21:34,788 --> 07:21:30,840 Skinwalker Ranch and also the Mount 10858 07:21:38,510 --> 07:21:34,798 Wilson Ranch and I can tell you that we 10859 07:21:40,270 --> 07:21:38,520 did not see a lot of uh unusual activity 10860 07:21:44,750 --> 07:21:40,280 up there but they were the best 10861 07:21:47,150 --> 07:21:44,760 absolutely best uh views of the Milky 10862 07:21:49,670 --> 07:21:47,160 Way galaxy I have ever seen in my life I 10863 07:21:51,468 --> 07:21:49,680 mean it's 8 000 feet up there and 10864 07:21:54,530 --> 07:21:51,478 there's really not a lot of ambient 10865 07:21:58,610 --> 07:21:54,540 light in the in the the near environment 10866 07:22:00,468 --> 07:21:58,620 and it was spectacular so we spent many 10867 07:22:02,868 --> 07:22:00,478 many cold nights out there especially 10868 07:22:05,448 --> 07:22:02,878 especially during the winter on Mount 10869 07:22:06,830 --> 07:22:05,458 Wilson Ranch and 10870 07:22:09,770 --> 07:22:06,840 um you know we had night vision 10871 07:22:12,048 --> 07:22:09,780 equipment which made stargazing even 10872 07:22:13,730 --> 07:22:12,058 more spectacular 10873 07:22:15,410 --> 07:22:13,740 um so it was it was a very enjoyable 10874 07:22:19,788 --> 07:22:15,420 time I'm 10875 07:22:23,690 --> 07:22:19,798 um obviously Chris Bartel and uh and his 10876 07:22:25,850 --> 07:22:23,700 uh his research friend but we're in my 10877 07:22:28,968 --> 07:22:25,860 office in my building there a few weeks 10878 07:22:30,350 --> 07:22:28,978 ago so I'm sorry I

07:22:42,600 yeah hundreds of acres and so we can set 10885 07:22:46,730 --> 07:22:45,000 up you know kind of a at least three the 10886 07:22:48,830 --> 07:22:46,740 plan is at least three camera systems 10887 07:22:50,930 --> 07:22:48,840 you know so we can triangulate so 10888 07:22:53,930 --> 07:22:50,940 separated by some distance so hopefully 10889 07:22:56,090 --> 07:22:53,940 we'll at least we'll have eyes upward I 10890 07:22:58,910 --> 07:22:56,100 I don't know at this stage what the 10891 07:23:02,810 --> 07:22:58,920 living space is 10892 07:23:04,788 --> 07:23:02,820 um on the

07:24:26,750 --> 07:24:24,840 we can promote right now so that I can 10926 07:24:28,610 --> 07:24:26,760 put a link on the screen for people who 10927 07:24:30,350 --> 07:24:28,620 are interested in following 10928 07:24:31,070 --> 07:24:30,360 well the 10929 07:24:33,650 --> 07:24:31,080 um 10930 07:24:35,930 --> 07:24:33,660 as you as you know from the last 10931 07:24:38,990 --> 07:24:35,940 interview we did with myself and George 10932 07:24:41,690 --> 07:24:39,000 with you uh we released a book just uh 10933 07:24:43,968 --> 07:24:41,700 about just about a year ago now just 10934 07:24:47,810 --> 07:24:43,978 slightly over a year ago called Skin 10935 07:24:50,270 --> 07:24:47,820 markers at the Pentagon that really was 10936 07:24:52,430 --> 07:24:50,280 um we thought it was the sort of 10937 07:24:56,390 --> 07:24:52,440 um correcting the record in quote 10938 07:24:58,610 --> 07:24:56,400 unquote on the uh the program with the 10939 07:25:01,190 --> 07:24:58,620 defense intelligence agency which was a 10940 07:25:03,230 --> 07:25:01,200 boots on the ground UFO investigative 10941 07:25:05,330 --> 07:25:03,240 program 10942 07:25:07,430 --> 07:25:05,340 um there is an audio version of that 10943 07:25:11,448 --> 07:25:07,440 book coming out in January 10944 07:25:15,368 --> 07:25:11,458 um which we're pretty happy with but 10945 07:25:18,590 --> 07:25:15,378 um we think that the the overall program 10946 07:25:21,110 --> 07:25:18,600 was the sort of the Genesis of a lot of 10947 07:25:23,448 --> 07:25:21,120 the activity that is uh that is ongoing 10948 07:25:25,750 --> 07:25:23,458 now because there's a direct linear 10949 07:25:28,868 --> 07:25:25,760 relationship between the OSAP program 10950 07:25:32,270 --> 07:25:28,878 and then the much smaller atip program 10951 07:25:35,868 --> 07:25:32,280 but even then leading into the the um 10952 07:25:37,850 --> 07:25:35,878 the UAP task force the the there was a 10953 07:25:41,810 --> 07:25:37,860 couple of generations of the UAP task 10954 07:25:44,810 --> 07:25:41,820 force that uh that were very much tied 10955 07:25:45,948 --> 07:25:44,820 in terms of lineage to the Osa program 10956 07:25:48,350 --> 07:25:45,958 the 10957 07:25:50,810 --> 07:25:48,360 um Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems 10958 07:25:54,530 --> 07:25:50,820 application program which 10959 07:25:57,468 --> 07:25:54,540 um we ran from Las Vegas I was the 10960 07:26:00,770 --> 07:25:57,478 project manager in Las Vegas and then a 10961 07:26:03,890 --> 07:26:00,780 a ballistic missile physicist called 10962 07:26:08,390 --> 07:26:03,900 James T lakovski was the program manager 10963 07:26:09,650 --> 07:26:08,400 in in Washington so jointly we ran that 10964 07:26:12,770 --> 07:26:09,660 program 10965 07:26:14,390 --> 07:26:12,780 um over about a 27 month period and 10966 07:26:17,030 --> 07:26:14,400 during that time 10967 07:26:20,448 --> 07:26:17,040 it was mostly a boots on the ground 10968 07:26:22,968 --> 07:26:20,458 field investigative effort 10969 07:26:25,610 --> 07:26:22,978 um so we ended up hiring about 50 10970 07:26:27,708 --> 07:26:25,620 different people in a very short period 10971 07:26:29,510 --> 07:26:27,718 of time which you know has its pluses 10972 07:26:30,830 --> 07:26:29,520 and minuses 10973 07:26:34,128 --> 07:26:30,840 um and we 10974 07:26:36,170 --> 07:26:34,138 um we we did have investigators 10975 07:26:38,270 --> 07:26:36,180 um around the United States and also we 10976 07:26:40,910 --> 07:26:38,280 deployed investigators to Brazil at one 10977 07:26:44,030 --> 07:26:40,920 stage in order to 10978 07:26:46,490 --> 07:26:44,040 um really sort of come to grips with the 10979 07:26:49,010 --> 07:26:46,500 the UFO phenomenon we were mostly 10980 07:26:53,628 --> 07:26:49,020 interested in 10981 07:26:56,990 --> 07:26:53,638 um both sensor sensor driven data as 10982 07:26:59,868 --> 07:26:57,000 well as effects on people uh so we we 10983 07:27:03,288 --> 07:26:59,878 kind of ran two parallel programs one 10984 07:27:06,230 --> 07:27:03,298 was trying to capture uh sensor data and 10985 07:27:09,288 --> 07:27:06,240 the other was trying to capture 10986 07:27:13,430 --> 07:27:09,298 um effects on people and we had two MD 10987 07:27:14,330 --> 07:27:13,440 phds on staff that did a lot of that 10988 07:27:17,770 --> 07:27:14,340 um 10989 07:27:21,708 --> 07:27:17,780 medical injury investigation so 10990 07:27:25,010 --> 07:27:21,718 it was very much a sort of a Hands-On 10991 07:27:27,708 --> 07:27:25,020 boots on the ground effort and all of 10992 07:27:30,530 --> 07:27:27,718 the writing in terms of reports and all 10993 07:27:33,048 --> 07:27:30,540 of that had to be done after all of the 10994 07:27:35,150 --> 07:27:33,058 research was conducted so 10995 07:27:36,170 --> 07:27:35,160 um it was a lot of fun 10996 07:27:39,830 --> 07:27:36,180 um 10997 07:27:41,570 --> 07:27:39,840 but you know hopefully in 2023 there 10998 07:27:44,208 --> 07:27:41,580 will be some kind of light at the end of 10999 07:27:44,930 --> 07:27:44,218 the tunnel regarding 11000 07:27:47,030 --> 07:27:44,940 um 11001 07:27:50,930 --> 07:27:47,040 you know right regarding a new program 11002 07:27:51,708 --> 07:27:50,940 uh although you know as time goes on 11003 07:27:55,250 --> 07:27:51,718 um 11004 07:27:57,948 --> 07:27:55,260 I I must say I'm not as optimistic as I 11005 07:27:59,208 --> 07:27:57,958 was you know because I'm frequently 11006 07:28:02,690 --> 07:27:59,218 disappointed 11007 07:28:05,448 --> 07:28:02,700 every time I think the two 800 pound 11008 07:28:09,230 --> 07:28:05,458 gorillas in the room are the 11009 07:28:12,250 --> 07:28:09,240 ousdi and S I mean back back in the in 11010 07:28:16,548 --> 07:28:12,260 the day when we were investigating UFOs 11011 07:28:19,310 --> 07:28:16,558 uh with the defense intelligence agency 11012 07:28:22,850 --> 07:28:19,320 um that that particular organization the 11013 07:28:24,530 --> 07:28:22,860 Pentagon was plain old usdi under 11014 07:28:26,270 --> 07:28:24,540 secretary of defense for intelligence 11015 07:28:29,270 --> 07:28:26,280 but now it's the office of under 11016 07:28:30,948 --> 07:28:29,280 secretary for defense intelligence and 11017 07:28:34,810 --> 07:28:30,958 security 11018 07:28:37,070 --> 07:28:34,820 um we found that particular organization 11019 07:28:40,788 --> 07:28:37,080 less than 11020 07:28:42,468 --> 07:28:40,798 um Cooperative in sort of helping out on 11021 07:28:44,990 --> 07:28:42,478 the on the 11022 07:28:48,468 --> 07:28:45,000 um you know on the the bureaucratic red 11023 07:28:50,270 --> 07:28:48,478 tape uh front the second 800 pound 11024 07:28:52,910 --> 07:28:50,280 gorilla in the room is the United States 11025 07:28:56,750 --> 07:28:52,920 Air Force which has been notably 11026 07:28:58,788 --> 07:28:56,760 reticent in terms of of bringing forth 11027 07:29:01,910 --> 07:28:58,798 um additional data although you know 11028 07:29:03,890 --> 07:29:01,920 I've heard that there are there are you 11029 07:29:05,570 --> 07:29:03,900 know there's a better level of 11030 07:29:08,570 --> 07:29:05,580 cooperation than there was sort of a 11031 07:29:11,270 --> 07:29:08,580 year ago uh but you know for example 11032 07:29:14,208 --> 07:29:11,280 Frank Kendall the the secretary of the 11033 07:29:16,190 --> 07:29:14,218 Air Force recently came out with uh sort 11034 07:29:18,230 --> 07:29:16,200 of a series of statements that was not 11035 07:29:19,968 --> 07:29:18,240 exactly positive 11036 07:29:22,850 --> 07:29:19,978 um they're basically saying that that 11037 07:29:25,788 --> 07:29:22,860 they the USAF did not see any they're 11038 07:29:28,788 --> 07:29:25,798 there so therefore they're going to wait 11039 07:29:31,548 --> 07:29:28,798 for any evidence before putting any 11040 07:29:34,548 --> 07:29:31,558 muscle behind that and I I think there 11041 07:29:36,948 --> 07:29:34,558 are the two main organizations that have 11042 07:29:41,150 --> 07:29:36,958 uh their stakeholders in this whole 11043 07:29:44,208 --> 07:29:41,160 process in ushering this new office 11044 07:29:47,570 --> 07:29:44,218 um into some kind of productivity 11045 07:29:50,510 --> 07:29:47,580 so I'm I guess I'm I'm less 11046 07:29:53,150 --> 07:29:50,520 um less optimistic than I was nine 11047 07:29:55,430 --> 07:29:53,160 months ago because I think Congress can 11048 07:29:57,468 --> 07:29:55,440 do a lot and you know the recent passage 11049 07:29:58,910 --> 07:29:57,478 of the National Defense authorization 11050 07:30:02,270 --> 07:29:58,920 act 11051 07:30:06,410 --> 07:30:02,280 um which still needs uh authorization 11052 07:30:09,410 --> 07:30:06,420 bills to to pass uh but the recent 11053 07:30:11,208 --> 07:30:09,420 passage of the ndaa I think with the 11054 07:30:13,368 --> 07:30:11,218 with the appropriate language for 11055 07:30:15,350 --> 07:30:13,378 whistleblowers to come forth and all of 11056 07:30:17,750 --> 07:30:15,360 that I think that's a wait and see 11057 07:30:19,968 --> 07:30:17,760 because realistically a lot of the 11058 07:30:21,890 --> 07:30:19,978 intelligence agencies the defense 11059 07:30:25,010 --> 07:30:21,900 intelligence agency the Central 11060 07:30:27,350 --> 07:30:25,020 Intelligence Agency have their own ways 11061 07:30:29,930 --> 07:30:27,360 of doing this and whether or not they're 11062 07:30:33,530 --> 07:30:29,940 actually going to cooperate and sort of 11063 07:30:35,570 --> 07:30:33,540 lie down for a series of sort of 11064 07:30:38,990 --> 07:30:35,580 amnesties 11065 07:30:40,850 --> 07:30:39,000 um is is an open question I personally 11066 07:30:43,548 --> 07:30:40,860 think it's going to be a very slow 11067 07:30:49,010 --> 07:30:46,548 so John Ramirez on Martin Willis's 11068 07:30:52,010 --> 07:30:49,020 podcast which by the way as a plug 11069 07:30:53,690 --> 07:30:52,020 Martin Willis has a podcast called UFO 11070 07:30:56,510 --> 07:30:53,700 or sorry called The Martin Willis live 11071 07:30:59,030 --> 07:30:56,520 show maybe the live UFO show I'm I'm 11072 07:31:01,968 --> 07:30:59,040 sure I'm uncertain about the specific 11073 07:31:03,468 --> 07:31:01,978 name regardless there was a prediction 11074 07:31:06,110 --> 07:31:03,478 made 11075 07:31:10,128 --> 07:31:06,120 fairly adamantly by John Ramirez about 11076 07:31:12,170 --> 07:31:10,138 2027 being a day or sorry being a year 11077 07:31:15,170 --> 07:31:12,180 that's important for the UFO phenomenon 11078 07:31:18,770 --> 07:31:15,180 in particular that UFOs May land or 11079 07:31:20,868 --> 07:31:18,780 touchdown then so calm have you heard 11080 07:31:22,128 --> 07:31:20,878 anything of about this what do you make 11081 07:31:25,250 --> 07:31:22,138 of it 11082 07:31:27,590 --> 07:31:25,260 I've seen that scuttlebutt but I I have 11083 07:31:32,570 --> 07:31:27,600 not seen anything to substantiate it I 11084 07:31:33,670 --> 07:31:32,580 haven't seen anybody who I would sort of 11085 07:31:37,310 --> 07:31:33,680 um 11086 07:31:39,770 --> 07:31:37,320 class as a as an Insider's quote-unquote 11087 07:31:45,468 --> 07:31:39,780 uh come out with that I I've seen the 11088 07:31:51,530 --> 07:31:47,030 so what are you most grateful for man 11089 07:31:56,270 --> 07:31:51,540 from all this year all of this year 2022 11090 07:31:58,968 --> 07:31:56,280 well I I think actually 2022 was uh was 11091 07:32:04,190 --> 07:31:58,978 a banner year for sort of the unfolding 11092 07:32:06,170 --> 07:32:04,200 of uh of this program and uh not only 11093 07:32:07,968 --> 07:32:06,180 the the program but the level of 11094 07:32:09,708 --> 07:32:07,978 interest in the public 11095 07:32:15,770 --> 07:32:09,718 so 11096 07:32:19,010 --> 07:32:15,780 optimistic uh from what has happened in 11097 07:32:22,910 --> 07:32:19,020 2022 is that I think that there's more 11098 07:32:25,250 --> 07:32:22,920 and more uh people in the the so-called 11099 07:32:26,750 --> 07:32:25,260 Consciousness field 11100 07:32:29,150 --> 07:32:26,760 um that are beginning to take an 11101 07:32:32,390 --> 07:32:29,160 interest in the 11102 07:32:35,330 --> 07:32:32,400 um in the UFO field and the and this and 11103 07:32:39,948 --> 07:32:35,340 this idea that there's cross correlation 11104 07:32:43,490 --> 07:32:39,958 between the UFO field and uh paranormal 11105 07:32:46,730 --> 07:32:43,500 activity for example and Consciousness 11106 07:32:50,930 --> 07:32:46,740 um with people like Jeffrey uh 11107 07:32:52,490 --> 07:32:50,940 don Donald Hoffman Edward Kelly and 11108 07:32:55,128 --> 07:32:52,500 um you know there's a husband who 11109 07:32:58,128 --> 07:32:55,138 commented on UFOs as far as you know 11110 07:33:01,190 --> 07:32:58,138 um I'm Jeffrey kreifel certainly has 11111 07:33:03,350 --> 07:33:01,200 um Ed Kelly no but but 11112 07:33:07,070 --> 07:33:03,360 um I think Donald Huffman has been asked 11113 07:33:08,270 --> 07:33:07,080 uh that question numerous earlier he was 11114 07:33:11,090 --> 07:33:08,280 on 11115 07:33:13,548 --> 07:33:11,100 I'll ask him next time yeah yeah I mean 11116 07:33:15,708 --> 07:33:13,558 it would be really interesting because I 11117 07:33:18,048 --> 07:33:15,718 mean he's pushing the boundaries a lot 11118 07:33:21,128 --> 07:33:18,058 in terms of this whole 11119 07:33:23,990 --> 07:33:21,138 um this new paradigm in Consciousness 11120 07:33:25,990 --> 07:33:24,000 that is you know the Consciousness is 11121 07:33:28,430 --> 07:33:26,000 not necessarily the result of 11122 07:33:30,650 --> 07:33:28,440 biochemical trafficking in the in the 11123 07:33:34,730 --> 07:33:30,660 brain and that you know there's a lot 11124 07:33:37,128 --> 07:33:34,740 more to the story than than that and um 11125 07:33:38,990 --> 07:33:37,138 I see that as 11126 07:33:42,288 --> 07:33:39,000 um and people like Jeffrey from 11127 07:33:47,448 --> 07:33:42,298 Rice University who is kind of really 11128 07:33:51,230 --> 07:33:47,458 getting into a much higher profile with 11129 07:33:53,230 --> 07:33:51,240 uh linking in Consciousness and UFOs I 11130 07:33:56,510 --> 07:33:53,240 see that as very positive because 11131 07:33:58,548 --> 07:33:56,520 ultimately you know 11132 07:34:01,610 --> 07:33:58,558 um you can deploy sensors in the field 11133 07:34:03,410 --> 07:34:01,620 and we have a project has to land in 11134 07:34:04,788 --> 07:34:03,420 Norway is a very good example of that of 11135 07:34:10,128 --> 07:34:04,798 having 11136 07:34:13,730 --> 07:34:10,138 sensors for 40 years but you know the 11137 07:34:17,810 --> 07:34:13,740 effects of UFOs on people the effects of 11138 07:34:19,310 --> 07:34:17,820 UFOs on people's perception and even on 11139 07:34:22,010 --> 07:34:19,320 their world view 11140 07:34:24,948 --> 07:34:22,020 um is something that really should be uh 11141 07:34:27,650 --> 07:34:24,958 run in parallel to the actual Gathering 11142 07:34:31,010 --> 07:34:27,660 of the physics and the engineering data 11143 07:34:34,850 --> 07:34:31,020 I I think there's room for both in this 11144 07:34:38,090 --> 07:34:34,860 whole field and I I would say there's 11145 07:34:42,128 --> 07:34:38,100 room for optimism certainly on on from 11146 07:34:44,330 --> 07:34:42,138 my perspective there's room for optimism 11147 07:34:47,390 --> 07:34:44,340 well calm I know that you got to get 11148 07:34:49,670 --> 07:34:47,400 going so do you have any 11149 07:34:52,190 --> 07:34:49,680 if you have a last question Chris to 11150 07:34:56,270 --> 07:34:52,200 post a comb then please do so if not 11151 07:34:58,250 --> 07:34:56,280 then Como will give you an outro uh do 11152 07:35:00,288 --> 07:34:58,260 you have any insights calm into who 11153 07:35:02,270 --> 07:35:00,298 could possibly be called if there are 11154 07:35:04,548 --> 07:35:02,280 public hearings or who I guess who would 11155 07:35:09,890 --> 07:35:04,558 you be most most excited to see 11156 07:35:12,468 --> 07:35:11,448 um that's a that's a pretty good 11157 07:35:13,310 --> 07:35:12,478 question 11158 07:35:15,830 --> 07:35:13,320 um 11159 07:35:17,868 --> 07:35:15,840 I I can tell you that a lot of the 11160 07:35:19,250 --> 07:35:17,878 people that were involved in the ASAP 11161 07:35:23,690 --> 07:35:19,260 program 11162 07:35:26,930 --> 07:35:23,700 um were very are where and are very much 11163 07:35:29,390 --> 07:35:26,940 um interested in this whole uh Arena 11164 07:35:32,270 --> 07:35:29,400 people like Hal putoff and Eric Davis 11165 07:35:33,770 --> 07:35:32,280 who were intimately involved in the ASAP 11166 07:35:35,510 --> 07:35:33,780 program 11167 07:35:37,850 --> 07:35:35,520 um I would not be in the least surprised 11168 07:35:38,830 --> 07:35:37,860 to see people like that 11169 07:35:42,890 --> 07:35:38,840 um 11170 07:35:45,650 --> 07:35:42,900 being asked to testify plus there's a 11171 07:35:47,570 --> 07:35:45,660 lot of different my information at least 11172 07:35:51,650 --> 07:35:47,580 is that there's a lot of people who are 11173 07:35:54,110 --> 07:35:51,660 willing to come forward uh whatever 11174 07:35:56,930 --> 07:35:54,120 um what effect that has I I really I 11175 07:35:58,850 --> 07:35:56,940 really don't know I I think the office 11176 07:36:00,530 -->

11225 07:38:22,128 --> 07:38:19,080 you remember the uh particular podcast 11226 07:38:23,510 --> 07:38:22,138 he did at the very start at covid with 11227 07:38:25,448 --> 07:38:23,520 you 11228 07:38:29,570 --> 07:38:25,458 um it was it was 11229 07:38:32,448 --> 07:38:29,580 writing I guess our April 2020. I found 11230 07:38:35,628 --> 07:38:32,458 that exceptional too thank you 11231 07:38:38,270 --> 07:38:35,638 well me and you we're gonna create 11232 07:38:41,750 --> 07:38:38,280 an exceptional podcast together one that 11233 07:38:44,990 --> 07:38:41,760 exceeds the March 2020. one with Hoffman 11234 07:38:46,610 --> 07:38:45,000 so I look forward to that in 2023 11235 07:38:49,190 --> 07:38:46,620 and I look forward to what you produce 11236 07:38:50,570 --> 07:38:49,200 and also let your boss know let Bigelow 11237 07:38:51,890 --> 07:38:50,580 know that I would love to speak with him 11238 07:38:54,830 --> 07:38:51,900 on the podcast 11239 07:38:56,270 --> 07:38:54,840 yeah well you know in the background you 11240 07:38:59,270 --> 07:38:56,280 can see Bigelow Institute for 11241 07:39:02,750 --> 07:38:59,280 Consciousness studies right now we have 11242 07:39:05,208 --> 07:39:02,760 we have launched a grants program 11243 07:39:07,910 --> 07:39:05,218 um a funding program which is very rare 11244 07:39:09,948 --> 07:39:07,920 in this field of certain what's what's 11245 07:39:13,430 --> 07:39:09,958 called Survival Of Consciousness after 11246 07:39:16,788 --> 07:39:13,440 death and so we have launched a program 11247 07:39:19,190 --> 07:39:16,798 that's worth up to a million dollars 11248 07:39:21,890 --> 07:39:19,200 um it's going to be broken into multiple 11249 07:39:24,048 --> 07:39:21,900 different grants of a hundred thousand 11250 07:39:27,350 --> 07:39:24,058 dollars and fifty thousand dollars but 11251 07:39:29,930 --> 07:39:27,360 in terms of the the field it's an 11252 07:39:33,230 --> 07:39:29,940 injection of money into this field which 11253 07:39:35,030 --> 07:39:33,240 is badly needed uh for research so right 11254 07:39:37,548 --> 07:39:35,040 now what that's what I'm doing is is 11255 07:39:39,770 --> 07:39:37,558 managing that programming and getting 11256 07:39:42,708 --> 07:39:39,780 the launch 11257 07:39:45,708 --> 07:39:42,718 um going for that program so I see that 11258 07:39:47,930 --> 07:39:45,718 as as something that could have value in 11259 07:39:49,850 --> 07:39:47,940 2023 11260 07:39:52,670 --> 07:39:49,860 okay great 11261 07:39:55,788 --> 07:39:52,680 goodbye and thanks for coming on 11262 07:39:59,628 --> 07:39:55,798 nice talking to you and uh yeah I I'm 11263

the theory of 11287 07:41:04,548 --> 07:41:03,360 everyone which is a toe it's on toe and 11288 07:41:07,250 --> 07:41:04,558 Chris little you have your own tone 11289 07:41:10,128 --> 07:41:07,260 Chris little well I you have your own 11290 07:41:13,010 --> 07:41:10,138 YouTube channel as well so just 11291 07:41:16,730 --> 07:41:13,020 Chris meet Tyler Tyler meet Chris 11292 07:41:20,448 --> 07:41:16,740 nice to meet you nice to meet you 11293 07:41:22,250 --> 07:41:20,458 all right I just wanted to I just want 11294 07:41:23,090 --> 07:41:22,260 to hang out with you all that's all 11295 07:41:26,448 --> 07:41:23,100 right 11296 07:41:28,548 --> 07:41:26,458 what's your longest show up to now Kurt 11297 07:41:29,448 --> 07:41:28,558 I think it was seven and a half or eight 11298 07:41:34,910 --> 07:41:29,458 hours 11299 07:41:38,448 --> 07:41:37,010 that that went on for maybe eight and a 11300 07:41:40,548 --> 07:41:38,458 half and it was cut down to eight hours 11301 07:41:42,230 --> 07:41:40,558 or we had talked before we pressed 11302 07:41:43,968 --> 07:41:42,240 record or talked after we pressed record 11303 07:41:45,468 --> 07:41:43,978 but anyway that was like eight and a 11304 07:41:48,890 --> 07:41:45,478 half so this is 11305 07:41:52,010 --> 07:41:48,900 similar if not exceeding 11306 07:41:54,048 --> 07:41:52,020 who's that filmed in one stream or was 11307 07:41:56,208 --> 07:41:54,058 that too interesting yeah no that was 11308 07:41:58,250 --> 07:41:56,218 filmed at once and we could have kept 11309 07:42:00,048 --> 07:41:58,260 going except I had to meet my brother 11310 07:42:02,468 --> 07:42:00,058 there's some like their Emergency Family 11311 07:42:04,968 --> 07:42:02,478 emergencies I had to go downtown 11312 07:42:07,128 --> 07:42:04,978 immediately and I'm just looking at the 11313 07:42:08,448 --> 07:42:07,138 time and I'm like okay Leah like time is 11314 07:42:10,968 --> 07:42:08,458 money this is just one question it's 11315 07:42:12,830 --> 07:42:10,978 been like two hours can you but anyway I 11316 07:42:15,110 --> 07:42:12,840 love Leo and 11317 07:42:16,548 --> 07:42:15,120 and that was a that was an interesting 11318 07:42:19,128 --> 07:42:16,558 podcast 11319 07:42:22,850 --> 07:42:19,138 yeah so it definitely was 11320 07:42:25,368 --> 07:42:22,860 so Chris and Tyler do you mind 11321 07:42:27,708 --> 07:42:25,378 as difficult as I know this is extremely 11322 07:42:29,990 --> 07:42:27,718 difficult but can you condense your toes 11323 07:42:31,788 --> 07:42:30,000 into about two minutes and just say them 11324 07:42:34,010 --> 07:42:31,798 to one another I want to hear what your 11325 07:42:36,708 --> 07:42:34,020 perspectives are on on each other's 11326 07:42:38,930 --> 07:42:36,718 theories of everything 11327 07:42:40,128 --> 07:42:38,940 yeah forgive me I'm gonna be listening 11328 07:42:41,208 --> 07:42:40,138 but I just need to stretch and I'm going 11329 07:42:45,770 --> 07:42:41,218 to stretch here 11330 07:42:47,030 --> 07:42:45,780 cool okay I'll go I guess first Tyler if 11331 07:42:50,208 --> 07:42:47,040 you don't mind 11332 07:42:53,090 --> 07:42:50,218 yeah basically um it's an uh 11333 07:42:54,948 --> 07:42:53,100 observational Theory so basically the 11334 07:42:57,048 --> 07:42:54,958 theory is that we can see the dimensions 11335 07:42:59,810 --> 07:42:57,058 and it's all based on size 11336 07:43:02,208 --> 07:42:59,820 so if you go back if you think um it 11337 07:43:04,190 --> 07:43:02,218 could all be vibrations frequencies so 11338 07:43:07,910 --> 07:43:04,200 if we just look at size 11339 07:43:09,468 --> 07:43:07,920 and we look down into our our own 11340 07:43:12,110 --> 07:43:09,478 Dimensions you know as you go smaller 11341 07:43:15,890 --> 07:43:12,120 and smaller at every level we see life 11342 07:43:19,250 --> 07:43:15,900 essentially so replicating molecules 11343 07:43:21,708 --> 07:43:19,260 uh that basically emerge at each level 11344 07:43:23,750 --> 07:43:21,718 you know higher higher size level to us 11345 07:43:26,510 --> 07:43:23,760 right and I think that can be kind of 11346 07:43:28,430 --> 07:43:26,520 obvious if you use a microscope you know 11347 07:43:29,990 --> 07:43:28,440 back in in the 1700s and we found 11348 07:43:31,788 --> 07:43:30,000 microscopic life we were really 11349 07:43:34,070 --> 07:43:31,798 surprised that it was ordered you know 11350 07:43:35,628 --> 07:43:34,080 we would assume based on if this is the 11351 07:43:37,910 --> 07:43:35,638 the only Dimension essentially that 11352 07:43:39,650 --> 07:43:37,920 there shouldn't be order down low at 11353 07:43:41,448 --> 07:43:39,660 smaller Dimensions 11354 07:43:43,070 --> 07:43:41,458 um so I basically if you just build up 11355 07:43:44,570 --> 07:43:43,080 and don't stop at our Dimension you 11356 07:43:46,610 --> 07:43:44,580 continue looking up 11357 07:43:49,968 --> 07:43:46,620 then I would argue the argument is is 11358 07:43:52,190 --> 07:43:49,978 that just like the cells make up us they 11359 07:43:53,990 --> 07:43:52,200 live in our body and die in our body we 11360 07:43:55,128 --> 07:43:54,000 make up a cell in a larger organism 11361 07:43:56,690 --> 07:43:55,138 which I would call the Nations 11362 07:43:58,670 --> 07:43:56,700 essentially but you know there's many 11363 07:44:00,948 --> 07:43:58,680 different levels little tribes so 11364 07:44:03,048 --> 07:44:00,958 organizational Theory I guess going up 11365 07:44:04,250 --> 07:44:03,058 to the nation and then but basically why 11366 07:44:06,948 --> 07:44:04,260 stop there 11367 07:44:09,468 --> 07:44:06,958 uh So based off just the EMF diagram I 11368 07:44:11,628 --> 07:44:09,478 used an EMF diagram you know of how big 11369 07:44:13,968 --> 07:44:11,638 things are and if you notice if you look 11370 07:44:16,910 --> 07:44:13,978 on Google you cannot find any images 11371 07:44:19,730 --> 07:44:16,920 that go past the building size you know 11372 07:44:22,730 --> 07:44:19,740 basically 10 uh 10 to the third 11373 07:44:23,810 --> 07:44:22,740 size right so I just made it I continued 11374 07:44:26,090 --> 07:44:23,820 the chart 11375 07:44:27,968 --> 07:44:26,100 to go out all the way to the galactic 11376 07:44:30,170 --> 07:44:27,978 levels 11377 07:44:32,030 --> 07:44:30,180 you know when you have humans at 10 to 11378 07:44:33,948 --> 07:44:32,040 the 10 to the zero so we're at one meter 11379 07:44:36,350 --> 07:44:33,958 and then you go down and so I just laid 11380 07:44:38,330 --> 07:44:36,360 out all those scales and then I found 11381 07:44:41,628 --> 07:44:38,340 repeating patterns basically like 11382 07:44:44,090 --> 07:44:41,638 octaves along those scales so that's 11383 07:44:46,368 --> 07:44:44,100 that's basically the theory and I found 11384 07:44:48,230 --> 07:44:46,378 you had actually repeating patterns 11385 07:44:49,128 --> 07:44:48,240 based off of 11386 07:44:51,350 --> 07:44:49,138 um 11387 07:44:52,670 --> 07:44:51,360 uh the rule so rule of sevens 11388 07:44:55,368 --> 07:44:52,680 essentially so there was a number it 11389 07:44:57,468 --> 07:44:55,378 repeats very large 10 to the 21 zeros is 11390 07:45:00,468 --> 07:44:57,478 when the system actually repeats so that 11391 07:45:02,690 --> 07:45:00,478 that's basically summarization of the of 11392 07:45:05,448 --> 07:45:02,700 the theory 11393 07:45:08,990 --> 07:45:05,458 very interesting there's a lot of 11394 07:45:11,510 --> 07:45:09,000 similarities with my work as well 11395 07:45:13,910 --> 07:45:11,520 um I my work is uh I call it sentient 11396 07:45:16,968 --> 07:45:13,920 Singularity Theory and it's basically 11397 07:45:18,650 --> 07:45:16,978 that the totality of existence is like a 11398 07:45:21,288 --> 07:45:18,660 singularity of sentience that is 11399 07:45:25,670 --> 07:45:21,298 creating additional singularities within 11400 07:45:28,548 --> 07:45:25,680 itself or sentient beings and um but we 11401 07:45:31,750 --> 07:45:28,558 it also in some of my models I even have 11402 07:45:34,850 --> 07:45:31,760 Nation as a level above 11403 07:45:37,850 --> 07:45:34,860 uh humans as well that we are cells in 11404 07:45:40,010 --> 07:45:37,860 essentially a nation and uh it's it's 11405 07:45:44,150 --> 07:45:40,020 not as big as much based on size it's 11406 07:45:47,270 --> 07:45:44,160 more my work I tried to follow a lineage 11407 07:45:49,910 --> 07:45:47,280 um perspective I guess which parts go on 11408 07:45:52,788 --> 07:45:49,920 to make up larger part I guess larger 11409 07:45:57,708 --> 07:45:52,798 Parts but I try to avoid size actually 11410 07:46:02,150 --> 07:45:57,718 uh but it's it sounds very similar 11411 07:46:05,390 --> 07:46:02,160 so Glenn Glenn just commented and I just 11412 07:46:08,390 --> 07:46:05,400 want to say Glenn young that I emailed 11413 07:46:11,570 --> 07:46:08,400 you so please check your email and T car 11414 07:46:12,948 --> 07:46:11,580 I have I received what you said so thank 11415 07:46:15,288 -->

we're all a part of that isn't that nuts 11447 07:47:33,590 --> 07:47:31,620 do you ever look at what you do Tyler 11448 07:47:35,690 --> 07:47:33,600 and like you see the impact and same 11449 07:47:37,670 --> 07:47:35,700 Chris and and you're just thinking this 11450 07:47:39,650 --> 07:47:37,680 is it's just not only fun but like we're 11451 07:47:43,610 --> 07:47:39,660 so lucky 11452 07:47:45,890 --> 07:47:43,620 yeah it's been an amazing last two to 11453 07:47:47,270 --> 07:47:45,900 three years of watching this 11454 07:47:49,730 --> 07:47:47,280 I guess 11455 07:47:52,850 --> 07:47:49,740 field bloom 11456 07:47:55,548 --> 07:47:52,860 and this topic really catch on and go a 11457 07:47:57,590 --> 07:47:55,558 new Direction then it has uh you know in 11458 07:47:59,930 --> 07:47:57,600 decades prior 11459 07:48:01,730 --> 07:47:59,940 I think it's very exciting 11460 07:48:03,230 --> 07:48:01,740 yeah what do you think it's cool to go 11461 07:48:06,770 --> 07:48:03,240 around your you know really seems like 11462 07:48:08,930 --> 07:48:06,780 your channel has been a key Pivot Point 11463 07:48:11,448 --> 07:48:08,940 you know I to be honest I haven't 11464 07:48:12,650 --> 07:48:11,458 watched it in just the last month but I 11465 07:48:14,090 --> 07:48:12,660 go through periods where I'll really 11466 07:48:16,430 --> 07:48:14,100 pick up you know 11467 07:48:18,110 --> 07:48:16,440 real topics and watch like three hours 11468 07:48:19,910 --> 07:48:18,120 of your crazy long 11469 07:48:23,150 --> 07:48:19,920 crazy long interviews you know it's cool 11470 07:48:24,948 --> 07:48:23,160 to see this these interactions happening 11471 07:48:26,750 --> 07:48:24,958 what is it this is like a medical 11472 07:48:27,770 --> 07:48:26,760 conversation what is it that you think 11473 07:48:31,310 --> 07:48:27,780 is 11474 07:48:34,070 --> 07:48:31,320 the reason for the 11475 07:48:35,690 --> 07:48:34,080 increase in interest in theories of 11476 07:48:36,890 --> 07:48:35,700 everything not just let's say the toe 11477 07:48:39,830 --> 07:48:36,900 Channel itself 11478 07:48:43,448 --> 07:48:39,840 but the actual physics and Consciousness 11479 07:48:49,430 --> 07:48:46,910 is much much more popular now I was 11480 07:48:52,208 --> 07:48:49,440 mentioning before I talked to Dr Dean 11481 07:48:55,070 --> 07:48:52,218 radden you know he's been in the the the 11482 07:48:56,628 --> 07:48:55,080 pseudoscientific realm for decades of 11483 07:48:57,948 --> 07:48:56,638 Consciousness you know just kind of 11484 07:49:00,110 --> 07:48:57,958 grinding when no one really paid 11485 07:49:01,810 --> 07:49:00,120 attention and he said it used to be that 11486 07:49:03,830 --> 07:49:01,820 you would have maybe one Consciousness 11487 07:49:08,150 --> 07:49:03,840 conference a year 11488 07:49:11,810 --> 07:49:10,368 yeah well I'm asking him not yeah I'm 11489 07:49:14,150 --> 07:49:11,820 asking 11490 07:49:16,968 --> 07:49:14,160 what's 11491 07:49:18,948 --> 07:49:16,978 responsible for that 11492 07:49:21,530 --> 07:49:18,958 what do you attribute that to 11493 07:49:23,330 --> 07:49:21,540 Tyler do you have any ideas like is 11494 07:49:25,570 --> 07:49:23,340 there some event that happened is this 11495 07:49:27,530 --> 07:49:25,580 just a fad 11496 07:49:30,770 --> 07:49:27,540 a few decades 11497 07:49:33,888 --> 07:49:30,780 I think that it's it it has a lot to do 11498 07:49:35,330 --> 07:49:33,898 with the internet and um the rise of 11499 07:49:38,388 --> 07:49:35,340 long-form 11500 07:49:40,968 --> 07:49:38,398 podcasting and and uh interviews of 11501 07:49:42,650 --> 07:49:40,978 these topics and I think also as that 11502 07:49:45,530 --> 07:49:42,660 has happened 11503 07:49:47,570 --> 07:49:45,540 it's really become Apparent at least 11504 07:49:50,150 --> 07:49:47,580 from my perspective that 11505 07:49:52,610 --> 07:49:50,160 Consciousness I mean I try not to use 11506 07:49:54,350 --> 07:49:52,620 that word so much I try to use sentience 11507 07:49:56,150 --> 07:49:54,360 more but just because it's a bit more 11508 07:49:58,788 --> 07:49:56,160 defined but 11509 07:50:02,208 --> 07:49:58,798 um I think so I mean it's just it the 11510 07:50:04,090 --> 07:50:02,218 focus on feeling uh is 11511 07:50:06,288 --> 07:50:04,100 is more specific than I think 11512 07:50:08,270 --> 07:50:06,298 Consciousness tends to have just so many 11513 07:50:10,250 --> 07:50:08,280 different meanings depending on who 11514 07:50:12,770 --> 07:50:10,260 you're talking to and even how you're 11515 07:50:15,048 --> 07:50:12,780 using it even in the same person uh you 11516 07:50:16,670 --> 07:50:15,058 could say I'm conscious of that but I'm 11517 07:50:19,610 --> 07:50:16,680 also conscious 11518 07:50:20,650 --> 07:50:19,620 it's like there's that's two different 11519 07:50:23,510 --> 07:50:20,660 um 11520 07:50:26,448 --> 07:50:23,520 so it gets it gets a little complicated 11521 07:50:30,350 --> 07:50:26,458 in using it in a specific manner but I 11522 07:50:34,430 --> 07:50:30,360 think that just because it is becoming 11523 07:50:36,770 --> 07:50:34,440 apparent that you can't separate that 11524 07:50:40,910 --> 07:50:36,780 under understanding what is you know 11525 07:50:43,610 --> 07:50:40,920 mind essentially from this you from any 11526 07:50:45,410 --> 07:50:43,620 kind of unification of fields uh because 11527 07:50:47,650 --> 07:50:45,420 we're the ones you know observing and 11528 07:50:50,868 --> 07:50:47,660 and maneuvering these fields 11529 07:50:52,968 --> 07:50:50,878 it's made it also a lot more 11530 07:50:56,270 --> 07:50:52,978 universally appealing to people because 11531 07:50:59,270 --> 07:50:56,280 we are it's all it's become much more 11532 07:51:01,670 --> 07:50:59,280 about understanding ourselves I think 11533 07:51:03,830 --> 07:51:01,680 and that has made it very popular 11534 07:51:05,270 --> 07:51:03,840 it just feels like there's been a mental 11535 07:51:07,430 --> 07:51:05,280 phase shift 11536 07:51:10,330 --> 07:51:07,440 and I think kovid kind of started it 11537 07:51:13,368 --> 07:51:10,340 kind of pushed people down the path and 11538 07:51:15,170 --> 07:51:13,378 essentially I think we're at least I my 11539 07:51:17,150 --> 07:51:15,180 audience is U.S Centric you know it's 11540 07:51:18,770 --> 07:51:17,160 half half from the U.S 11541 07:51:21,468 --> 07:51:18,780 and it just seems like there's kind of 11542 07:51:22,910 --> 07:51:21,478 been a mental Shake where 11543 07:51:25,670 --> 07:51:22,920 you know we don't know everything 11544 07:51:28,850 --> 07:51:25,680 whereas before I think you had a lot of 11545 07:51:31,788 --> 07:51:28,860 there's a lot of uh anomalies in all of 11546 07:51:33,888 --> 07:51:31,798 these fields you know you the quantum uh 11547 07:51:35,030 --> 07:51:33,898 the Double set experiment you know you 11548 07:51:37,250 --> 07:51:35,040 can mention any Consciousness 11549 07:51:39,530 --> 07:51:37,260 experiments there's kind of these 11550 07:51:41,090 --> 07:51:39,540 anomalies where I think they've just 11551 07:51:42,048 --> 07:51:41,100 mainstream science been kind of ignoring 11552 07:51:44,030 --> 07:51:42,058 them 11553 07:51:45,530 --> 07:51:44,040 but now that it's piecing together as 11554 07:51:47,208 --> 07:51:45,540 we've kind of reached a 11555 07:51:48,468 --> 07:51:47,218 you know the snowball's built up to be 11556 07:51:49,788 --> 07:51:48,478 large enough to now where people are 11557 07:51:50,930 --> 07:51:49,798 like maybe I should go check that out 11558 07:51:52,610 --> 07:51:50,940 you know maybe 11559 07:51:54,530 --> 07:51:52,620 maybe the some of these conspiracy 11560 07:51:56,388 --> 07:51:54,540 theories actually do hold water you know 11561 07:51:58,310 --> 07:51:56,398 like I said earlier they all there are 11562 07:51:59,990 --> 07:51:58,320 some valid conspiracy theories so I 11563 07:52:01,910 --> 07:52:00,000 don't know it seems like I think people 11564 07:52:03,350 --> 07:52:01,920 are just more open-minded 11565 07:52:04,968 --> 07:52:03,360 they're kind of curious what's what's 11566 07:52:06,888 --> 07:52:04,978 out there and what could be out there 11567 07:52:08,030 --> 07:52:06,898 it's exciting for me I find it very 11568 07:52:11,388 --> 07:52:08,040 exciting 11569 07:52:14,208 --> 07:52:11,398 yeah hey someone's come to say hi and 11570 07:52:16,968 --> 07:52:14,218 it's going to be the last one 11571 07:52:18,350 --> 07:52:16,978 Daniel did you hear me bar you from toe 11572 07:52:20,690 --> 07:52:18,360 and then you you're like okay let me 11573 07:52:23,510 --> 07:52:20,700 just get on right now this is I don't I 11574 07:52:25,788 --> 07:52:23,520 don't want to be in Kurt's bad side 11575 07:52:31,310 --> 07:52:25,798 Daniel you're muted 11576 07:52:36,948 --> 07:52:33,650 no can't hear you 11577 07:52:39,530 --> 07:52:36,958 it's Bard no yeah yeah rejected and 11578 07:52:41,090 --> 07:52:39,540 kicking out nope

most grateful for for 2022 and 11707 07:57:50,448 --> 07:57:49,378 what you're looking forward to in 2023 11708 07:57:55,750 --> 07:57:50,458 um 11709 07:58:01,310 --> 07:57:59,510 I'll say it in context to this situation 11710 07:58:02,270 --> 07:58:01,320 here 11711 07:58:04,368 --> 07:58:02,280 um 11712 07:58:06,650 --> 07:58:04,378 oftentimes I talk about some of the 11713 07:58:09,048 --> 07:58:06,660 risks that novel types of Technology 11714 07:58:10,368 --> 07:58:09,058 create but that doesn't mean that they 11715 07:58:13,250 --> 07:58:10,378 don't also create lots of awesome 11716 07:58:17,510 --> 07:58:13,260 capabilities and so 11717 07:58:19,190 --> 07:58:17,520 you using the ability to broadcast and 11718 07:58:20,868 --> 07:58:19,200 bring people together to advance 11719 07:58:22,548 --> 07:58:20,878 people's understanding of how we more 11720 07:58:24,590 --> 07:58:22,558 deeply understand the Universe I think 11721 07:58:27,350 --> 07:58:24,600 is a sign of something pretty awesome 11722 07:58:28,968 --> 07:58:27,360 that there are networks of affinity that 11723 07:58:31,968 --> 07:58:28,978 are coming together 11724 07:58:34,430 --> 07:58:31,978 to be able to have the deepest thinking 11725 07:58:36,110 --> 07:58:34,440 across disciplines oriented to the most 11726 07:58:39,170 --> 07:58:36,120 important topics and able to have 11727 07:58:41,150 --> 07:58:39,180 Community emerge globally around that I 11728 07:58:44,150 --> 07:58:41,160 think that's something pretty exciting 11729 07:58:49,070 --> 07:58:47,868 I think I I appreciate seeing Theory of 11730 07:58:51,288 --> 07:58:49,080 Everything not be limited to 11731 07:58:52,190 --> 07:58:51,298 mathematical physics but uh you know 11732 07:58:54,350 --> 07:58:52,200 having people thinking about 11733 07:58:57,288 --> 07:58:54,360 phenomenology and semiotics and all 11734 07:58:58,910 --> 07:58:57,298 those things my work appreciates those 11735 07:58:59,810 --> 07:58:58,920 topics but doesn't do anything novel in 11736 07:59:03,128 --> 07:58:59,820 them 11737 07:59:09,170 --> 07:59:05,770 is novel 11738 07:59:11,208 --> 07:59:09,180 I said even taking what's disparate and 11739 07:59:13,670 --> 07:59:11,218 putting together in a putting together 11740 07:59:15,170 --> 07:59:13,680 firstly is novel obviously putting 11741 07:59:16,490 --> 07:59:15,180 together in a new ways novel but if you 11742 07:59:18,770 --> 07:59:16,500 take what's never been put together it's 11743 07:59:20,990 --> 07:59:18,780 automatically new 11744 07:59:23,628 --> 07:59:21,000 and I um 11745 07:59:25,430 --> 07:59:23,638 most of my focus for a while has been a 11746 07:59:27,770 --> 07:59:25,440 kind of Integrative Endeavor across the 11747 07:59:30,288 --> 07:59:27,780 various risks Humanity faces as a kind 11748 07:59:33,010 --> 07:59:30,298 of integrated set of design criteria for 11749 07:59:35,810 --> 07:59:33,020 how to do civilization design 11750 07:59:37,610 --> 07:59:35,820 and um I think 11751 07:59:39,288 --> 07:59:37,620 a number of the people who are in your 11752 07:59:40,850 --> 07:59:39,298 space have an interest that goes from 11753 07:59:42,830 --> 07:59:40,860 the purely theoretical how does the 11754 07:59:46,310 --> 07:59:42,840 universe work to is there applied side 11755 07:59:47,990 --> 07:59:46,320 on how we design a better human world uh 11756 07:59:51,590 --> 07:59:48,000 that's a topic that maybe we'll get to 11757 07:59:53,810 --> 07:59:51,600 discuss in 2023 yeah we will we will and 11758 07:59:56,628 --> 07:59:53,820 I'm looking

08:00:37,558 like to it's actually high on my list 11776 08:00:43,750 --> 08:00:40,500 um the fact that you 11777 08:00:46,430 --> 08:00:43,760 did um some kind of uh 11778 08:00:49,128 --> 08:00:46,440 formal logic idealism from information 11779 08:00:50,750 --> 08:00:49,138 Theory I thought was really cool 11780 08:00:52,610 --> 08:00:50,760 um because most of the people who argue 11781 08:00:55,850 --> 08:00:52,620 against physicalism usually have to do 11782 08:00:59,150 --> 08:00:55,860 it in a pretty informal way 11783 08:01:00,708 --> 08:00:59,160 um so Castro up and folks like that and 11784 08:01:03,410 --> 08:01:00,718 uh 11785 08:01:04,968 --> 08:01:03,420 and then the fact that you also got to 11786 08:01:07,490 --> 08:01:04,978 things that were more focused on the 11787 08:01:09,948 --> 08:01:07,500 integrative epistemology like the theory 11788 08:01:14,330 --> 08:01:09,958 of knowledge rather than just kind of 11789 08:01:16,010 --> 08:01:14,340 the ontology Theory of Everything 11790 08:01:19,310 --> 08:01:16,020 um so I I would say rather than which 11791 08:01:21,170 --> 08:01:19,320 one I like the most I liked uh the 11792 08:01:23,388 --> 08:01:21,180 breadth of the topics that you included 11793 08:01:24,708 --> 08:01:23,398 in that scope 11794 08:01:28,968 --> 08:01:24,718 thanks 11795 08:01:31,910 --> 08:01:28,978 I uh I really liked uh Carl friston's uh 11796 08:01:34,368 --> 08:01:31,920 podcast with you and um or stream with 11797 08:01:40,510 --> 08:01:34,378 you I thought it was it's one I watched 11798 08:01:45,830 --> 08:01:43,670 I probably both I know I've seen both I 11799 08:01:47,448 --> 08:01:45,840 think and it's they're kind of blur at 11800 08:01:49,788 --> 08:01:47,458 this point but 11801 08:01:50,570 --> 08:01:49,798 um but just his being introduced to his 11802 08:01:53,270 --> 08:01:50,580 work 11803 08:01:55,850 --> 08:01:53,280 um was was fascinating 11804 08:01:58,368 --> 08:01:55,860 well very important 11805 08:02:00,350 --> 08:01:58,378 I'm super grateful for you both when I 11806 08:02:02,750 --> 08:02:00,360 think about what am I most grateful for 11807 08:02:05,930 --> 08:02:02,760 for 2022 it's it's number one it's my 11808 08:02:08,150 --> 08:02:05,940 wife and number two even just the other 11809 08:02:09,110 --> 08:02:08,160 day I was standing here and I was

think if I was to truly 11816 08:02:26,868 --> 08:02:24,718 appreciate it it would just bring me to 11817 08:02:29,868 --> 08:02:26,878 tears and I wouldn't be able to to move 11818 08:02:32,270 -->
