1 00:00:16,299 --> 00:00:02,149 [Music] 2 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:16,309 [Applause] 3 00:00:30,550 --> 00:00:24,050 [Music] 4 00:00:35,990 --> 00:00:33,110 welcome back to the UFO Rabbit Hole 5 00:00:37,850 --> 00:00:36,000 podcast I'm your host Kelly Chase 6 00:00:38,750 --> 00:00:37,860 today I'm bringing you something really 7 00:00:41,630 --> 00:00:38,760 special 8 00:00:43,190 --> 00:00:41,640 a few weeks ago Dr Diana Walsh vaselker 9 00:00:44,450 --> 00:00:43,200 reached out to connect me with someone 10 00:00:46,549 --> 00:00:44,460 she thought I might be interested in 11 00:00:48,290 --> 00:00:46,559 interviewing for the podcast her name is 12 00:00:50,209 --> 00:00:48,300 Dr IA Whiteley and she's a space 13 00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:50,219 psychologist who's featured in Diana's 14 00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:51,840 upcoming book due out in November 15 00:00:56,750 --> 00:00:54,480 entitled encounters experiences with 16 00:00:58,430 --> 00:00:56,760 non-human intelligences given the 17 00:01:00,650 --> 00:00:58,440 respect that I have for Diana and her 18 00:01:02,750 --> 00:01:00,660 work her recommendation alone would have 19 00:01:04,189 --> 00:01:02,760 been enough for me to say yes but the 20 00:01:06,289 --> 00:01:04,199 more she shared with me about Dr 21 00:01:07,969 --> 00:01:06,299 Whiteley and her work it became clear to 22 00:01:10,969 --> 00:01:07,979 me that this was an interview that I 23 00:01:12,890 --> 00:01:10,979 absolutely had to do Dr IA Whiteley is a 24 00:01:14,450 --> 00:01:12,900 training developer for astronauts for 25 00:01:16,609 --> 00:01:14,460 the background in Clinical Psychology 26 00:01:18,590 --> 00:01:16,619 and cognitive engineering 27 00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:18,600 she leverages her skills and expertise 28 00:01:23,090 --> 00:01:20,880 combined with her own insights and 29 00:01:25,969 --> 00:01:23,100 experiences as a pilot skydiver and 30 00:01:27,649 --> 00:01:25,979 scuba diver to design both equipment and 31 00:01:28,789 --> 00:01:27,659 training programs to improve the 32 00:01:30,649 --> 00:01:28,799 performance of highly trained 33 00:01:33,530 --> 00:01:30,659 Professionals in extreme environments 34 00:01:35,810 --> 00:01:33,540 including military pilots and astronauts 35 00:01:38,510 --> 00:01:35,820 she has also worked at the European 36 00:01:40,550 --> 00:01:38,520 astronaut Center in Clone Germany and 37 00:01:42,530 --> 00:01:40,560 now collaborates with NASA and the 38 00:01:45,050 --> 00:01:42,540 Gagarin Cosmonaut training center in 39 00:01:47,210 --> 00:01:45,060 Star City Russia since having her own 40 00:01:49,010 --> 00:01:47,220 children Iya has been using her unique 41 00:01:50,810 --> 00:01:49,020 skill set to work on laying the 42 00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:50,820 groundwork for a universal Earth 43 00:01:54,889 --> 00:01:53,040 language one that could potentially help 44 00:01:57,530 --> 00:01:54,899 humans communicate with non-human 45 00:02:00,109 --> 00:01:57,540 intelligences including animals and 46 00:02:02,210 --> 00:02:00,119 Beyond to this end she's designed high 47 00:02:04,609 --> 00:02:02,220 contrast black and white visual books 48 00:02:06,469 --> 00:02:04,619 for newborns and babies to help tap into 49 00:02:08,270 --> 00:02:06,479 their full developmental potential and 50 00:02:09,710 --> 00:02:08,280 give them the best possible start on our 51 00:02:12,710 --> 00:02:09,720 unique planet Earth 52 00:02:14,510 --> 00:02:12,720 in many ways Dr whiteley's career traces 53 00:02:16,010 --> 00:02:14,520 the Contours of the themes and topics 54 00:02:18,530 --> 00:02:16,020 we've been exploring over the last few 55 00:02:20,510 --> 00:02:18,540 months and yet the way that she 56 00:02:22,430 --> 00:02:20,520 innovates and problem solves Within 57 00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:22,440 These Realms and how these realities 58 00:02:26,630 --> 00:02:25,200 both impact and inform her work make 59 00:02:28,369 --> 00:02:26,640 this an extremely challenging 60 00:02:29,690 --> 00:02:28,379 conversation to frame in a meaningful 61 00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:29,700 and coherent way 62 00:02:35,330 --> 00:02:32,640 the ideas are simply too big and too new 63 00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:35,340 and frankly too important for me to feel 64 00:02:38,930 --> 00:02:37,200 comfortable wrestling them down into 65 00:02:40,970 --> 00:02:38,940 little bite-sized morsels that would 66 00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:40,980 make them easier to digest 67 00:02:45,369 --> 00:02:42,720 too much would be lost in the process 68 00:02:47,869 --> 00:02:45,379 and so I won't attempt to do so 69 00:02:49,729 --> 00:02:47,879 instead I think it's best to just let 70 00:02:52,009 --> 00:02:49,739 you listen to what Dr Whiteley has to 71 00:02:54,290 --> 00:02:52,019 say and let her words speak to whatever 72 00:02:55,610 --> 00:02:54,300 is most alive for you right now if 73 00:02:57,650 --> 00:02:55,620 there's interest I might do a short 74 00:02:59,630 --> 00:02:57,660 follow-up episode sharing my thoughts 75 00:03:01,369 --> 00:02:59,640 next week sometime and if you're a 76 00:03:03,589 --> 00:03:01,379 patron we'll definitely be discussing 77 00:03:07,009 --> 00:03:03,599 this episode in our next zoom on 78 00:03:08,750 --> 00:03:07,019 Saturday April 22nd at 3 pm Eastern but 79 00:03:11,149 --> 00:03:08,760 for now I think it's best to just let 80 00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:11,159 this conversation speak for itself 81 00:03:15,649 --> 00:03:13,440 but I will say this after we finish 82 00:03:18,290 --> 00:03:15,659 recording I went into my room and I sat 83 00:03:20,690 --> 00:03:18,300 on my bed and I just cried 84 00:03:22,910 --> 00:03:20,700 it's hard to explain why exactly but 85 00:03:25,130 --> 00:03:22,920 although sorrow was definitely a part of 86 00:03:28,369 --> 00:03:25,140 what I was feeling these weren't tears 87 00:03:29,809 --> 00:03:28,379 of sadness they were tears of relief the 88 00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:29,819 kind of tears that come when you find 89 00:03:34,490 --> 00:03:31,920 yourself unmored and adrift at Sea with 90 00:03:36,410 --> 00:03:34,500 all hope lost and then suddenly a ship 91 00:03:38,270 --> 00:03:36,420 appears in the distance 92 00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:38,280 for a long time now it's felt like 93 00:03:42,170 --> 00:03:39,840 something essential about our world as 94 00:03:44,149 --> 00:03:42,180 we know it is unraveling it started 95 00:03:46,309 --> 00:03:44,159 slowly at first gained steamed gradually 96 00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:46,319 over decades until reaching a crescendo 97 00:03:50,270 --> 00:03:48,000 over the last few years 98 00:03:52,130 --> 00:03:50,280 the reality of UFO phenomenon is just 99 00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:52,140 one of many existential issues that 100 00:03:56,089 --> 00:03:53,760 Humanity finds itself confronted with 101 00:03:57,770 --> 00:03:56,099 and many people have this sense that 102 00:03:59,809 --> 00:03:57,780 we've already passed some invisible 103 00:04:01,610 --> 00:03:59,819 Tipping Point and that many of the 104 00:04:03,470 --> 00:04:01,620 institutions from which we derive our 105 00:04:05,690 --> 00:04:03,480 sense of safety and meaning might be 106 00:04:07,490 --> 00:04:05,700 Beyond repair and that can be a 107 00:04:09,949 --> 00:04:07,500 terrifying thought but it's through the 108 00:04:10,970 --> 00:04:09,959 work of people like IA and Diana that I 109 00:04:13,789 --> 00:04:10,980 find Hope 110 00:04:16,009 --> 00:04:13,799 yes things are falling apart but in 111 00:04:17,930 --> 00:04:16,019 their place our emerging astonishing and 112 00:04:20,569 --> 00:04:17,940 beautiful new possibilities and ways of 113 00:04:22,670 --> 00:04:20,579 being a caterpillar in her cocoon only 114 00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:22,680 thinks the world is ending because she 115 00:04:26,570 --> 00:04:24,240 can't yet Envision the butterfly that 116 00:04:29,150 --> 00:04:26,580 she will become she can't see the secret 117 00:04:31,010 --> 00:04:29,160 magic that's always been hers Humanity 118 00:04:33,469 --> 00:04:31,020 seems to be passing through a similar 119 00:04:35,570 --> 00:04:33,479 transformational portal one that is both 120 00:04:37,730 --> 00:04:35,580 an end and a beginning and that will 121 00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:37,740 fundamentally change who we are both as 122 00:04:42,110 --> 00:04:40,080 individuals and as a species 123 00:04:43,610 --> 00:04:42,120 it can be hard to understand what that 124 00:04:45,590 --> 00:04:43,620 means or to Grapple with the full 125 00:04:47,390 --> 00:04:45,600 implications if you find yourself 126 00:04:49,969 --> 00:04:47,400 struggling with that you're not alone 127 00:04:51,890 --> 00:04:49,979 I'm right there with you and I hope this 128 00:04:53,870 --> 00:04:51,900 conversation will speak to you in the 129 00:04:55,969 --> 00:04:53,880 way that it spoke to me 130 00:04:57,409 --> 00:04:55,979 in a conversation I had once with Diana 131 00:04:59,390 --> 00:04:57,419 she said in reference to the 132 00:05:01,310 --> 00:04:59,400 extraordinary people and ideas that she 133 00:05:03,110 --> 00:05:01,320 has encountered in her work that she 134 00:05:05,570 --> 00:05:03,120 sometimes feels like she's living in the 135 00:05:08,030 --> 00:05:05,580 future and that was the exact sense that 136 00:05:10,189 --> 00:05:08,040 I had in this conversation that I was 137 00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:10,199 speaking to two people whose combination 138 00:05:15,710 --> 00:05:12,960 of deep expertise and carefully honed 139 00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:15,720 intuition have given them a rare glimpse 140 00:05:20,090 --> 00:05:18,240 of the shape of our future as a species 141 00:05:21,710 --> 00:05:20,100 something that can be difficult if not 142 00:05:23,570 --> 00:05:21,720 outright impossible to see when we're 143 00:05:26,090 --> 00:05:23,580 embedded in our ordinary everydayness 144 00:05:27,770 --> 00:05:26,100 I'd like to thank Diana for making this 145 00:05:29,450 --> 00:05:27,780 connection for helping to shape this 146 00:05:31,790 --> 00:05:29,460 conversation and for serving as a 147 00:05:33,529 --> 00:05:31,800 co-host for this episode and a huge 148 00:05:34,909 --> 00:05:33,539 thank you to Dr eel Whiteley for 149 00:05:36,830 --> 00:05:34,919 Patiently working through my questions 150 00:05:39,170 --> 00:05:36,840 and for allowing me to share this 151 00:05:41,029 --> 00:05:39,180 beautiful story with the world it's 152 00:05:43,850 --> 00:05:41,039 truly an honor 153 00:05:47,510 --> 00:05:43,860 here is my interview with Dr IA Whiteley 154 00:05:50,090 --> 00:05:47,520 featuring Dr Diana Walsh pasilka 155 00:05:53,090 --> 00:05:50,100 talk to you a little bit about how you 156 00:05:55,909 --> 00:05:53,100 came in contact with Dr Whiteley and her 157 00:05:57,170 --> 00:05:55,919 work and why it's been so important to 158 00:05:58,790 --> 00:05:57,180 the work that you've been doing with 159 00:06:02,330 --> 00:05:58,800 your next book 160 00:06:05,570 --> 00:06:02,340 sure so after American Cosmic was 161 00:06:07,689 --> 00:06:05,580 published Dr Whiteley contacted me and 162 00:06:11,210 --> 00:06:07,699 she was doing some research in this area 163 00:06:14,330 --> 00:06:11,220 and because of her position as a space 164 00:06:15,830 --> 00:06:14,340 psychologist and the specific types of 165 00:06:18,350 --> 00:06:15,840 things she was doing I was really 166 00:06:21,110 --> 00:06:18,360 excited to make her acquaintance and 167 00:06:26,809 --> 00:06:21,120 immediately saw that this was important 168 00:06:28,969 --> 00:06:26,819 basically for UFO and UAP research so I 169 00:06:31,010 --> 00:06:28,979 actually used her to the people that I 170 00:06:34,249 --> 00:06:31,020 knew my network relayed her information 171 00:06:36,890 --> 00:06:34,259 to people like Jacques valet and and 172 00:06:37,850 --> 00:06:36,900 Gary Nolan and even people that are in 173 00:06:40,370 --> 00:06:37,860 my book 174 00:06:43,430 --> 00:06:40,380 so basically Dr whiteley's work in 175 00:06:47,210 --> 00:06:43,440 aviation his spanned 20 years and she 176 00:06:50,570 --> 00:06:47,220 was one of a few researchers who changed 177 00:06:53,749 --> 00:06:50,580 the culture of pilot reporting of things 178 00:06:56,330 --> 00:06:53,759 like aerial phenomena and there's a huge 179 00:06:58,969 --> 00:06:56,340 overlap between pilots and astronauts 180 00:07:02,150 --> 00:06:58,979 and there are of course significant 181 00:07:04,670 --> 00:07:02,160 differences between the communities but 182 00:07:07,309 --> 00:07:04,680 they both are in a unique position to 183 00:07:10,249 --> 00:07:07,319 see aerial phenomenon each of them 184 00:07:13,070 --> 00:07:10,259 though is trained differently so Dr 185 00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:13,080 whiteley's research focused on the 186 00:07:18,950 --> 00:07:16,800 culture of reporting for pilots and it 187 00:07:20,629 --> 00:07:18,960 was actually a culture of like blame and 188 00:07:22,730 --> 00:07:20,639 shame Pilots were discouraged from 189 00:07:25,629 --> 00:07:22,740 reporting aerial phenomena so she 190 00:07:29,570 --> 00:07:25,639 developed techniques and actually 191 00:07:31,189 --> 00:07:29,580 Technologies to help with pilots in 192 00:07:33,230 --> 00:07:31,199 their reporting so she'll talk about 193 00:07:36,050 --> 00:07:33,240 that so that's how that's what she's 194 00:07:38,570 --> 00:07:36,060 doing she's moving that type of research 195 00:07:41,089 --> 00:07:38,580 into the culture now of UAP reporting 196 00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:41,099 which is huge for both astronauts and 197 00:07:45,290 --> 00:07:43,440 Pilots so people that are out there and 198 00:07:47,870 --> 00:07:45,300 in this unique position to witness 199 00:07:49,909 --> 00:07:47,880 things she's streamlining that process 200 00:07:52,969 --> 00:07:49,919 or helping you streamline that process 201 00:07:54,830 --> 00:07:52,979 is an ongoing process secondly part of 202 00:07:58,670 --> 00:07:54,840 our research that I found even more 203 00:08:01,430 --> 00:07:58,680 fascinating was her development of a 204 00:08:03,710 --> 00:08:01,440 contact with other species other than 205 00:08:06,469 --> 00:08:03,720 you know our species and this is the 206 00:08:09,050 --> 00:08:06,479 work that she does on Earth languages so 207 00:08:12,050 --> 00:08:09,060 I think that both of these are very 208 00:08:14,450 --> 00:08:12,060 relevant to the ongoing development of 209 00:08:17,029 --> 00:08:14,460 UAP and UFO research 210 00:08:19,610 --> 00:08:17,039 that's absolutely fascinating so Dr 211 00:08:22,550 --> 00:08:19,620 Whiteley I'd love to just dive into some 212 00:08:25,369 --> 00:08:22,560 questions with you so first of all how 213 00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:25,379 do you become a space psychologist 214 00:08:31,810 --> 00:08:28,560 my interest in base psychology came from 215 00:08:34,730 --> 00:08:31,820 how do people adapt to 216 00:08:36,409 --> 00:08:34,740 extreme environments and what kind of 217 00:08:39,230 --> 00:08:36,419 abilities arise 218 00:08:41,930 --> 00:08:39,240 as we are faced with difficulties 219 00:08:44,870 --> 00:08:41,940 and I'm particularly interested 220 00:08:47,449 --> 00:08:44,880 in something that we uncover about 221 00:08:48,889 --> 00:08:47,459 ourselves when we are faced with 222 00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:48,899 unexpected 223 00:08:55,190 --> 00:08:51,360 even if we train for it 224 00:08:58,910 --> 00:08:55,200 and that kind of is the Cornerstone of 225 00:09:01,370 --> 00:08:58,920 my research and work and that's why I 226 00:09:04,009 --> 00:09:01,380 went into Aviation psychology to start 227 00:09:05,930 --> 00:09:04,019 with knowing that that would lead to 228 00:09:08,750 --> 00:09:05,940 space psychology 229 00:09:10,910 --> 00:09:08,760 because there wasn't a profession in 230 00:09:13,250 --> 00:09:10,920 space psychology that you could follow 231 00:09:14,509 --> 00:09:13,260 the path so there's no degree in space 232 00:09:18,350 --> 00:09:14,519 psychology 233 00:09:20,750 --> 00:09:18,360 and so you just pick a direction that 234 00:09:22,550 --> 00:09:20,760 gets you closer and closer to working 235 00:09:26,030 --> 00:09:22,560 with people 236 00:09:28,910 --> 00:09:26,040 in space and Aviation and Military 237 00:09:30,829 --> 00:09:28,920 pilots and anything to do with safety 238 00:09:33,590 --> 00:09:30,839 extreme environments 239 00:09:35,509 --> 00:09:33,600 abilities to perform better 240 00:09:38,110 --> 00:09:35,519 is the direction that I've been taking 241 00:09:41,570 --> 00:09:38,120 and sort of methodically selecting 242 00:09:43,850 --> 00:09:41,580 projects and to accommodate my interests 243 00:09:46,790 --> 00:09:43,860 on how to support people and what people 244 00:09:48,710 --> 00:09:46,800 I keep or often we don't expect that 245 00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:48,720 we're able to and then 246 00:09:52,550 --> 00:09:50,640 we're surprised and then we also 247 00:09:54,590 --> 00:09:52,560 investigate why that happened how that 248 00:09:57,530 --> 00:09:54,600 happened and we don't understand a lot 249 00:10:00,230 --> 00:09:57,540 in that domain of why things happen and 250 00:10:01,610 --> 00:10:00,240 why we know things even professional 251 00:10:04,130 --> 00:10:01,620 intuition 252 00:10:05,870 --> 00:10:04,140 was it a boot topic when I began and it 253 00:10:09,170 --> 00:10:05,880 slowly became 254 00:10:12,530 --> 00:10:09,180 something that we now look into deeper 255 00:10:14,509 --> 00:10:12,540 so it's not intuition is now not a 256 00:10:16,130 --> 00:10:14,519 Forbidden World in science 257 00:10:19,009 --> 00:10:16,140 we look into it from different 258 00:10:22,930 --> 00:10:19,019 directions with different tools 259 00:10:26,930 --> 00:10:22,940 and I think that what makes an expert 260 00:10:29,630 --> 00:10:26,940 because they kind of have this knowledge 261 00:10:31,550 --> 00:10:29,640 embedded somewhere that they treasure 262 00:10:33,410 --> 00:10:31,560 and a lot of the times unable to 263 00:10:35,930 --> 00:10:33,420 articulate and that's what I'm 264 00:10:38,810 --> 00:10:35,940 interested is how to help people Express 265 00:10:41,570 --> 00:10:38,820 their expertise in the way that it's 266 00:10:44,269 --> 00:10:41,580 helpful for other experts to process but 267 00:10:46,670 --> 00:10:44,279 also for that person to understand that 268 00:10:50,269 --> 00:10:46,680 what they know is not known to other 269 00:10:52,250 --> 00:10:50,279 experts which is very frequently 270 00:10:54,170 --> 00:10:52,260 a failure I would say you know a 271 00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:54,180 positive failure of experts that they 272 00:10:58,130 --> 00:10:56,399 don't know what they the amount of 273 00:11:00,650 --> 00:10:58,140 information they know and how important 274 00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:00,660 it is to share they assume that if they 275 00:11:04,130 --> 00:11:02,880 know everybody else does and that's not 276 00:11:06,110 --> 00:11:04,140 the case 277 00:11:07,970 --> 00:11:06,120 that's so interesting I feel like I can 278 00:11:10,130 --> 00:11:07,980 see that even in my own professional 279 00:11:13,130 --> 00:11:10,140 experience what you're talking about 280 00:11:14,329 --> 00:11:13,140 that people will have in tuition about 281 00:11:16,190 --> 00:11:14,339 something but have a hard time 282 00:11:18,769 --> 00:11:16,200 articulating it and then it's hard to 283 00:11:20,509 --> 00:11:18,779 get consensus and support within the 284 00:11:22,190 --> 00:11:20,519 organization and I can only imagine how 285 00:11:24,530 --> 00:11:22,200 much harder that must be in these 286 00:11:26,329 --> 00:11:24,540 extreme environments I really respect 287 00:11:28,190 --> 00:11:26,339 that you don't just think about these 288 00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:28,200 things theoretically but that you are a 289 00:11:32,509 --> 00:11:30,720 pilot and a scuba diver and a skydiver 290 00:11:33,949 --> 00:11:32,519 and so you aren't just thinking about 291 00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:33,959 these things theoretically you're 292 00:11:38,930 --> 00:11:36,480 engaging with extreme environments while 293 00:11:40,310 --> 00:11:38,940 you're also learning about them so I was 294 00:11:42,530 --> 00:11:40,320 wondering if you could talk a little bit 295 00:11:44,030 --> 00:11:42,540 for people who maybe could don't Skydive 296 00:11:45,230 --> 00:11:44,040 and that sort of thing you know what are 297 00:11:47,810 --> 00:11:45,240 the things that you can learn about 298 00:11:49,850 --> 00:11:47,820 extreme environments by engaging with 299 00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:49,860 them that you can't learn in any other 300 00:11:54,590 --> 00:11:51,120 way 301 00:11:56,810 --> 00:11:54,600 this is very pertinent question you know 302 00:11:58,910 --> 00:11:56,820 to understand our thought processing 303 00:12:00,590 --> 00:11:58,920 also 304 00:12:02,030 --> 00:12:00,600 I think understanding our thought 305 00:12:05,690 --> 00:12:02,040 process 306 00:12:07,190 --> 00:12:05,700 is the key to appreciating what the 307 00:12:10,550 --> 00:12:07,200 expertise are 308 00:12:12,170 --> 00:12:10,560 and so there's two aspects to engaging 309 00:12:14,509 --> 00:12:12,180 through the experience as an 310 00:12:16,370 --> 00:12:14,519 investigator or researcher yourself you 311 00:12:17,810 --> 00:12:16,380 know a person who is interested to know 312 00:12:21,170 --> 00:12:17,820 more 313 00:12:23,449 --> 00:12:21,180 for one apprenticeship has been always 314 00:12:26,210 --> 00:12:23,459 an amazing way to get into a profession 315 00:12:28,069 --> 00:12:26,220 because you're working side by side with 316 00:12:31,130 --> 00:12:28,079 someone and you're experiencing and 317 00:12:33,110 --> 00:12:31,140 you're learning sometimes I would say in 318 00:12:35,569 --> 00:12:33,120 more in-depth and you build a better 319 00:12:37,790 --> 00:12:35,579 Foundation that when you go through 320 00:12:39,769 --> 00:12:37,800 theoretical when you go through a 321 00:12:40,850 --> 00:12:39,779 theoretical work at the University for 322 00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:40,860 example 323 00:12:45,889 --> 00:12:43,920 because you are watching the process so 324 00:12:47,170 --> 00:12:45,899 you engaged and you almost connect with 325 00:12:50,329 --> 00:12:47,180 an expert 326 00:12:53,210 --> 00:12:50,339 and you are able to pick up I think more 327 00:12:57,829 --> 00:12:53,220 than what they just do or say 328 00:13:00,230 --> 00:12:57,839 and so for me to understand why people 329 00:13:02,269 --> 00:13:00,240 put themselves into extreme environments 330 00:13:05,449 --> 00:13:02,279 was important 331 00:13:08,329 --> 00:13:05,459 so hence going for scuba diving or 332 00:13:10,930 --> 00:13:08,339 rescue scuba diving training as well as 333 00:13:14,629 --> 00:13:10,940 skydiving because I wanted to understand 334 00:13:17,329 --> 00:13:14,639 what happens in those milliseconds when 335 00:13:20,150 --> 00:13:17,339 you have to make a decision you know do 336 00:13:22,430 --> 00:13:20,160 you jump at all and you happy with the 337 00:13:24,829 --> 00:13:22,440 parachute that you've packed or do you 338 00:13:27,170 --> 00:13:24,839 rely on other people packing your 339 00:13:29,870 --> 00:13:27,180 parachute and you're okay with that 340 00:13:32,449 --> 00:13:29,880 because we all make mistakes human error 341 00:13:34,389 --> 00:13:32,459 is something that we cannot avoid we get 342 00:13:37,310 --> 00:13:34,399 distracted we 343 00:13:39,769 --> 00:13:37,320 missteps we process something else and 344 00:13:40,970 --> 00:13:39,779 don't notice and then with all good 345 00:13:43,730 --> 00:13:40,980 intention 346 00:13:45,710 --> 00:13:43,740 it's not something that we are free from 347 00:13:47,629 --> 00:13:45,720 you know errors that we make 348 00:13:51,530 --> 00:13:47,639 so it's important that we learn from it 349 00:13:53,810 --> 00:13:51,540 important that we concentrate and uh be 350 00:13:57,530 --> 00:13:53,820 aware sort of become observers of our 351 00:13:59,990 --> 00:13:57,540 own work so they oh come up less if you 352 00:14:02,629 --> 00:14:00,000 wish or just we can backtrack if we made 353 00:14:06,050 --> 00:14:02,639 an error and understand what led to it 354 00:14:08,990 --> 00:14:06,060 from our kind of lesson perspective 355 00:14:11,389 --> 00:14:09,000 so when I was skydiving it's the 356 00:14:14,269 --> 00:14:11,399 decisions that you make you can be in 357 00:14:16,970 --> 00:14:14,279 the aircraft and not jail right no one 358 00:14:18,769 --> 00:14:16,980 is pushing you out in principle okay 359 00:14:21,170 --> 00:14:18,779 okay well there is a situation where you 360 00:14:24,110 --> 00:14:21,180 have to jump because if you're on the 361 00:14:26,030 --> 00:14:24,120 line you know of other people jumping 362 00:14:27,350 --> 00:14:26,040 behind you you will stop everybody else 363 00:14:29,870 --> 00:14:27,360 because 364 00:14:32,569 --> 00:14:29,880 of the way you exit is your pair should 365 00:14:34,970 --> 00:14:32,579 open eyes connected to the line but in 366 00:14:37,310 --> 00:14:34,980 principle I would sit in very packed and 367 00:14:40,189 --> 00:14:37,320 cramped aircraft where we're sitting 368 00:14:43,550 --> 00:14:40,199 with each other's on our bottoms with 369 00:14:45,050 --> 00:14:43,560 our knees right up close to us and a 370 00:14:47,329 --> 00:14:45,060 person in front of you you could see 371 00:14:49,850 --> 00:14:47,339 their parachute and you also inspect it 372 00:14:51,710 --> 00:14:49,860 you make sure that inspecting your 373 00:14:53,689 --> 00:14:51,720 equipment You're Expecting someone 374 00:14:56,030 --> 00:14:53,699 forward and you're making sure that 375 00:14:57,710 --> 00:14:56,040 everything is intact and correct nothing 376 00:14:59,870 --> 00:14:57,720 is misplaced and you're kind of going 377 00:15:02,329 --> 00:14:59,880 through that process and the other thing 378 00:15:06,170 --> 00:15:02,339 that you should be doing ideally that is 379 00:15:08,509 --> 00:15:06,180 helpful is you are processing in your 380 00:15:11,030 --> 00:15:08,519 mind you're going through what you will 381 00:15:12,110 --> 00:15:11,040 do as it happens and what are the 382 00:15:14,329 --> 00:15:12,120 alternatives 383 00:15:16,069 --> 00:15:14,339 and as you process it in your mind the 384 00:15:19,069 --> 00:15:16,079 research actually shows that you could 385 00:15:22,670 --> 00:15:19,079 be playing a piano tune for example on a 386 00:15:24,829 --> 00:15:22,680 piano and by doing it mentally you 387 00:15:26,990 --> 00:15:24,839 actually your there's activation in your 388 00:15:29,870 --> 00:15:27,000 muscles and your fingers 389 00:15:32,030 --> 00:15:29,880 so this is actually you you develop 390 00:15:34,250 --> 00:15:32,040 muscle memory by just thinking through 391 00:15:36,230 --> 00:15:34,260 it so this is incredible 392 00:15:37,970 --> 00:15:36,240 and so as I'm sitting in the aircraft I 393 00:15:40,370 --> 00:15:37,980 watch other people and some people sit 394 00:15:43,009 --> 00:15:40,380 face to you and some with their back and 395 00:15:45,650 --> 00:15:43,019 I watch this gentleman and not only one 396 00:15:47,569 --> 00:15:45,660 and their teeth shuttering they're 397 00:15:50,150 --> 00:15:47,579 shuttering so much that with an open 398 00:15:52,129 --> 00:15:50,160 door so when your light in a light 399 00:15:54,410 --> 00:15:52,139 aircraft the door is open because there 400 00:15:57,350 --> 00:15:54,420 is nowhere to put the door or you can't 401 00:15:58,430 --> 00:15:57,360 open the door as the aircraft is flying 402 00:16:00,829 --> 00:15:58,440 because 403 00:16:04,129 --> 00:16:00,839 there's nowhere to put it you know so 404 00:16:06,170 --> 00:16:04,139 you depart within a door open and it's 405 00:16:08,210 --> 00:16:06,180 also unsettling just especially if you 406 00:16:10,910 --> 00:16:08,220 sit by the exit and you know that your 407 00:16:14,329 --> 00:16:10,920 parachute won't open if you fall out not 408 00:16:16,129 --> 00:16:14,339 in the altitude so there's there's no 409 00:16:18,949 --> 00:16:16,139 space for us so you kind of you hold on 410 00:16:21,530 --> 00:16:18,959 for dear life literally 411 00:16:24,110 --> 00:16:21,540 and and then you watch others on how 412 00:16:25,490 --> 00:16:24,120 they react and I would wonder why would 413 00:16:28,490 --> 00:16:25,500 they do that you know they're terrified 414 00:16:31,250 --> 00:16:28,500 they're absolutely terrified because if 415 00:16:33,590 --> 00:16:31,260 they count physically stop their jaw or 416 00:16:35,870 --> 00:16:33,600 shuddering what would go through a 417 00:16:39,110 --> 00:16:35,880 person's mind to do it and I would ask 418 00:16:41,449 --> 00:16:39,120 those questions and generally is people 419 00:16:42,829 --> 00:16:41,459 trying to pass the fear of some sort 420 00:16:44,449 --> 00:16:42,839 that they have anyway 421 00:16:46,189 --> 00:16:44,459 they want to prove something to 422 00:16:49,069 --> 00:16:46,199 themselves so they could do it despite 423 00:16:52,850 --> 00:16:49,079 it sometimes they do it as a bet 424 00:16:55,730 --> 00:16:52,860 sometimes they do it to find out to 425 00:16:58,310 --> 00:16:55,740 discover something about themselves to 426 00:17:00,710 --> 00:16:58,320 and it's interesting why people would go 427 00:17:02,329 --> 00:17:00,720 into the situation being completely 428 00:17:08,270 --> 00:17:02,339 frightened 429 00:17:10,090 --> 00:17:08,280 of there's many options of course but I 430 00:17:13,610 --> 00:17:10,100 would say two extreme options is when 431 00:17:16,669 --> 00:17:13,620 you become irrational so you'll become 432 00:17:18,429 --> 00:17:16,679 in a tunnel vision so you're unable to 433 00:17:20,750 --> 00:17:18,439 make to take in other information 434 00:17:24,110 --> 00:17:20,760 because you're kind of in survival mode 435 00:17:25,549 --> 00:17:24,120 and your resources shrink to just to 436 00:17:27,770 --> 00:17:25,559 make sure that 437 00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:27,780 but you don't die like it's what's the 438 00:17:33,169 --> 00:17:30,720 most optimal way to to reach the target 439 00:17:35,870 --> 00:17:33,179 but on the other hand many other 440 00:17:39,409 --> 00:17:35,880 resources open up and some people have a 441 00:17:42,590 --> 00:17:39,419 vision that opens up or they become more 442 00:17:45,110 --> 00:17:42,600 aware and their senses are more exposed 443 00:17:46,970 --> 00:17:45,120 and this is very tricky balance and I 444 00:17:50,029 --> 00:17:46,980 guess that comes with experience or 445 00:17:52,250 --> 00:17:50,039 reaching this chemical high in your body 446 00:17:54,230 --> 00:17:52,260 because it dissolves chemical reaction 447 00:17:57,169 --> 00:17:54,240 that starts to 448 00:17:59,090 --> 00:17:57,179 throw you around in a way and then you 449 00:18:01,130 --> 00:17:59,100 have to navigate in that space in your 450 00:18:02,870 --> 00:18:01,140 kind of physical reaction and mental 451 00:18:05,390 --> 00:18:02,880 space so how do you coordinate the two 452 00:18:07,850 --> 00:18:05,400 so that's why I was doing it is to 453 00:18:10,250 --> 00:18:07,860 appreciate what does it take for a 454 00:18:13,789 --> 00:18:10,260 person to go through all of that and yet 455 00:18:16,610 --> 00:18:13,799 to orient and then bypass that 456 00:18:20,150 --> 00:18:16,620 and there is an important threshold is 457 00:18:23,150 --> 00:18:20,160 when you bypass this fear yeah into 458 00:18:25,310 --> 00:18:23,160 performance where you're able to expand 459 00:18:27,110 --> 00:18:25,320 your awareness because you've got this 460 00:18:30,590 --> 00:18:27,120 adrenaline because you've got all this 461 00:18:33,529 --> 00:18:30,600 chemical cocktail happening it's how do 462 00:18:37,909 --> 00:18:33,539 you Orient in that space and become 463 00:18:41,090 --> 00:18:37,919 better at utilizing those resources of 464 00:18:44,690 --> 00:18:41,100 sharpened senses and you see that the 465 00:18:46,430 --> 00:18:44,700 experienced skydivers become very honed 466 00:18:47,990 --> 00:18:46,440 in but there is a point where you can 467 00:18:49,490 --> 00:18:48,000 become 468 00:18:51,289 --> 00:18:49,500 complacent 469 00:18:52,789 --> 00:18:51,299 and that's when Eris happens when you 470 00:18:54,950 --> 00:18:52,799 become too confident 471 00:18:58,070 --> 00:18:54,960 and that's also an important factor so 472 00:18:59,270 --> 00:18:58,080 in people who are high performance uh we 473 00:19:01,549 --> 00:18:59,280 are washing in the hood of high 474 00:19:03,350 --> 00:19:01,559 performance environment is important for 475 00:19:05,690 --> 00:19:03,360 them not to become too sure of 476 00:19:08,390 --> 00:19:05,700 themselves or to coincident that they 477 00:19:12,110 --> 00:19:08,400 know everything and it's a really hard 478 00:19:14,930 --> 00:19:12,120 Edge you know to keep is to say that I'm 479 00:19:18,169 --> 00:19:14,940 you know I know everything versus 480 00:19:20,150 --> 00:19:18,179 uh I am you know so basic basically 481 00:19:22,549 --> 00:19:20,160 again they narrow their Vision instead 482 00:19:25,010 --> 00:19:22,559 of widening and suddenly 483 00:19:27,350 --> 00:19:25,020 it catches them 484 00:19:29,210 --> 00:19:27,360 as I was going through your work I came 485 00:19:30,770 --> 00:19:29,220 across a term that I haven't seen before 486 00:19:32,029 --> 00:19:30,780 that seems very relevant to a lot of 487 00:19:34,370 --> 00:19:32,039 what you're talking about which is 488 00:19:36,169 --> 00:19:34,380 cognitive engineering would you mind 489 00:19:38,090 --> 00:19:36,179 explaining for the listeners what 490 00:19:40,130 --> 00:19:38,100 cognitive engineering is and how it 491 00:19:43,610 --> 00:19:40,140 applies to your work 492 00:19:45,470 --> 00:19:43,620 sure cognitive engineering is it's 493 00:19:48,710 --> 00:19:45,480 working with how we process information 494 00:19:50,630 --> 00:19:48,720 and how we then present it on visual 495 00:19:53,690 --> 00:19:50,640 display or through any type of 496 00:19:55,789 --> 00:19:53,700 information that we allow people to read 497 00:19:57,770 --> 00:19:55,799 or to understand or to hear so any 498 00:20:00,650 --> 00:19:57,780 senses that you have 499 00:20:03,110 --> 00:20:00,660 so it's merging the fields of design of 500 00:20:04,970 --> 00:20:03,120 equipment or design of procedures or 501 00:20:07,789 --> 00:20:04,980 design of the environment 502 00:20:09,890 --> 00:20:07,799 for most Optimum performance through 503 00:20:12,950 --> 00:20:09,900 representation of queues 504 00:20:15,710 --> 00:20:12,960 and that's the merge of psychology and 505 00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:15,720 engineering and people in this domain 506 00:20:19,630 --> 00:20:17,760 come from both from psychology and 507 00:20:22,190 --> 00:20:19,640 engineering and both perspectives 508 00:20:24,289 --> 00:20:22,200 contribute tremendously because 509 00:20:26,029 --> 00:20:24,299 obviously an engineer is working from 510 00:20:29,570 --> 00:20:26,039 perspective how things work and they're 511 00:20:32,390 --> 00:20:29,580 able to explicate that quite clearly 512 00:20:35,210 --> 00:20:32,400 through procedures or training or design 513 00:20:37,730 --> 00:20:35,220 of environmental equipment and I would 514 00:20:40,310 --> 00:20:37,740 come from a point of understanding kind 515 00:20:44,690 --> 00:20:40,320 of how the corks turn in our mind and 516 00:20:46,909 --> 00:20:44,700 what would that be helpful to 517 00:20:49,789 --> 00:20:46,919 absorb that information given our 518 00:20:52,430 --> 00:20:49,799 limitations of perception or memory or 519 00:20:54,650 --> 00:20:52,440 reaction or decision making or 520 00:20:57,230 --> 00:20:54,660 situational awareness overall 521 00:20:59,690 --> 00:20:57,240 so this is how the cognitive engineering 522 00:21:02,750 --> 00:20:59,700 term comes together 523 00:21:05,330 --> 00:21:02,760 so looking back at your work with 524 00:21:07,190 --> 00:21:05,340 improving the shame and blame culture in 525 00:21:10,370 --> 00:21:07,200 the aviation industry and the work that 526 00:21:12,350 --> 00:21:10,380 you've done there when we look to the 527 00:21:14,650 --> 00:21:12,360 efforts that are being made now to 528 00:21:18,590 --> 00:21:14,660 improve the reporting culture around 529 00:21:20,450 --> 00:21:18,600 UFOs and other aerial phenomena what 530 00:21:22,430 --> 00:21:20,460 would be your recommendation to people 531 00:21:25,370 --> 00:21:22,440 doing that work how can we better 532 00:21:27,770 --> 00:21:25,380 improve reporting and decrease the shame 533 00:21:31,370 --> 00:21:27,780 and blame that goes along with reporting 534 00:21:34,370 --> 00:21:31,380 of anomalous craft and experiences so 535 00:21:38,029 --> 00:21:34,380 UAP and UFO 536 00:21:40,669 --> 00:21:38,039 the main is a taboo in a way 537 00:21:44,149 --> 00:21:40,679 and it has been and I was surprised to 538 00:21:47,149 --> 00:21:44,159 come to this field because I grew up 539 00:21:49,310 --> 00:21:47,159 with the perspective that unusual things 540 00:21:53,810 --> 00:21:49,320 happen and we observe them 541 00:21:55,610 --> 00:21:53,820 and it was not a topic that was a taboo 542 00:21:58,549 --> 00:21:55,620 where I was growing up 543 00:22:00,529 --> 00:21:58,559 so when I came to space psychology I 544 00:22:01,730 --> 00:22:00,539 found that you're not allowed to talk 545 00:22:04,610 --> 00:22:01,740 about it 546 00:22:08,270 --> 00:22:04,620 and that is okay 547 00:22:12,169 --> 00:22:08,280 if that's what people feel like but I 548 00:22:13,730 --> 00:22:12,179 feel you cannot ignore it and first I 549 00:22:16,970 --> 00:22:13,740 can't that 550 00:22:18,710 --> 00:22:16,980 realization is when I was studying my 551 00:22:21,350 --> 00:22:18,720 PhD 552 00:22:24,049 --> 00:22:21,360 and there were errors happening 553 00:22:27,169 --> 00:22:24,059 and there were even cartoons drawings 554 00:22:29,090 --> 00:22:27,179 going about Pilots 555 00:22:30,529 --> 00:22:29,100 thinking that there's a ghost in the 556 00:22:32,570 --> 00:22:30,539 machine 557 00:22:34,370 --> 00:22:32,580 can you say a little bit more about the 558 00:22:35,990 --> 00:22:34,380 ghost in the cockpit what what were they 559 00:22:38,529 --> 00:22:36,000 referring to 560 00:22:41,750 --> 00:22:38,539 the ghost in the cockpit is referred to 561 00:22:44,510 --> 00:22:41,760 a new type of equipment that came into 562 00:22:46,430 --> 00:22:44,520 the cockpit which was Automation and 563 00:22:49,010 --> 00:22:46,440 then there was the introduction of 564 00:22:51,169 --> 00:22:49,020 autopilot and the autopilot would have 565 00:22:53,510 --> 00:22:51,179 different functions so for example they 566 00:22:55,730 --> 00:22:53,520 could control a speed or it could 567 00:22:58,430 --> 00:22:55,740 control the attitude such as does it 568 00:23:00,710 --> 00:22:58,440 have a nose down or nose up and it could 569 00:23:03,230 --> 00:23:00,720 also have a navigation pilot so 570 00:23:04,490 --> 00:23:03,240 autopilot that will navigate from point 571 00:23:07,970 --> 00:23:04,500 to point 572 00:23:10,370 --> 00:23:07,980 and all of these functions it's not just 573 00:23:14,450 --> 00:23:10,380 so an autopilot could be in any one of 574 00:23:15,950 --> 00:23:14,460 those modes it's called so it's a task a 575 00:23:20,029 --> 00:23:15,960 mode is a task 576 00:23:22,010 --> 00:23:20,039 and those modes were different for every 577 00:23:24,169 --> 00:23:22,020 manufacturer so from Airbus there would 578 00:23:25,490 --> 00:23:24,179 be different types of modes for Lockheed 579 00:23:28,789 --> 00:23:25,500 Martin there would be another types of 580 00:23:31,789 --> 00:23:28,799 modes and but more so 581 00:23:35,210 --> 00:23:31,799 between the types of within my one 582 00:23:38,270 --> 00:23:35,220 manufacturer for example a300 and A320 583 00:23:41,029 --> 00:23:38,280 which is Airbus aircraft they would have 584 00:23:43,310 --> 00:23:41,039 different philosophy on how 585 00:23:46,370 --> 00:23:43,320 that autopilot would engage and whether 586 00:23:49,250 --> 00:23:46,380 it will control the speed of for example 587 00:23:52,490 --> 00:23:49,260 climbing or descending or will it 588 00:23:54,770 --> 00:23:52,500 control their nose attitude so this is 589 00:23:56,690 --> 00:23:54,780 two different things so if it controls 590 00:23:58,250 --> 00:23:56,700 the nose then the speed is not 591 00:24:00,230 --> 00:23:58,260 controlled that it would if it's 592 00:24:02,990 --> 00:24:00,240 climbing it will decrease speed quite 593 00:24:04,490 --> 00:24:03,000 quickly or if it snows down then it will 594 00:24:07,130 --> 00:24:04,500 increase the speed 595 00:24:09,289 --> 00:24:07,140 and that's a problem so if the pilot is 596 00:24:13,070 --> 00:24:09,299 considering that it's the autopilot is 597 00:24:14,990 --> 00:24:13,080 controlling the the ascent yeah then the 598 00:24:16,430 --> 00:24:15,000 climb then the problem is that if 599 00:24:18,470 --> 00:24:16,440 they're not watching the speed the 600 00:24:21,710 --> 00:24:18,480 aircraft will stall so it will decrease 601 00:24:23,029 --> 00:24:21,720 and unable to hold itself up in the air 602 00:24:25,310 --> 00:24:23,039 and that's where the problems were 603 00:24:27,169 --> 00:24:25,320 happening so if there's enough altitude 604 00:24:28,970 --> 00:24:27,179 so enough height the aircraft would be 605 00:24:31,610 --> 00:24:28,980 able to recover but if there isn't 606 00:24:33,529 --> 00:24:31,620 that's why accident happened because the 607 00:24:35,630 --> 00:24:33,539 pilot would assume that there would be 608 00:24:37,909 --> 00:24:35,640 something that they would have done but 609 00:24:39,710 --> 00:24:37,919 the aircraft was not doing that and 610 00:24:41,450 --> 00:24:39,720 that's where it was considered the ghost 611 00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:41,460 in the cockpit because there was a 612 00:24:46,370 --> 00:24:44,159 philosophy that was not clear to the 613 00:24:48,289 --> 00:24:46,380 pilot which was an engineer's 614 00:24:50,990 --> 00:24:48,299 perspective of how the aircraft should 615 00:24:53,570 --> 00:24:51,000 fly but the pilot has a different logic 616 00:24:54,770 --> 00:24:53,580 it's sort of like if you can imagine if 617 00:24:57,770 --> 00:24:54,780 a child 618 00:25:00,110 --> 00:24:57,780 sits in the car and they would have a 619 00:25:02,149 --> 00:25:00,120 picture on how it works and then there 620 00:25:03,649 --> 00:25:02,159 is some experienced driver who sits in 621 00:25:05,990 --> 00:25:03,659 the car and they would have a different 622 00:25:08,210 --> 00:25:06,000 perspective on how it works and yet 623 00:25:09,710 --> 00:25:08,220 there will be an engineer or a Formula 624 00:25:11,630 --> 00:25:09,720 One driver who would drive the car 625 00:25:13,730 --> 00:25:11,640 completely differently because they 626 00:25:16,490 --> 00:25:13,740 would know the traction and how it 627 00:25:18,770 --> 00:25:16,500 slides and when to break and if it's wet 628 00:25:20,270 --> 00:25:18,780 and so on so that all of them will have 629 00:25:21,950 --> 00:25:20,280 a different perspective and hence they 630 00:25:24,289 --> 00:25:21,960 would have a different information slow 631 00:25:26,930 --> 00:25:24,299 and the need and this is exactly what 632 00:25:28,850 --> 00:25:26,940 was happening with the design of the 633 00:25:31,549 --> 00:25:28,860 cockpit they were not considering 634 00:25:34,130 --> 00:25:31,559 Pilot's view it was engineer thinking 635 00:25:36,590 --> 00:25:34,140 how they've designed the aircraft and 636 00:25:39,169 --> 00:25:36,600 hence what the pallet would need it and 637 00:25:41,390 --> 00:25:39,179 that disconnect between what the pilot 638 00:25:44,269 --> 00:25:41,400 thought it was doing versus an engineer 639 00:25:48,490 --> 00:25:44,279 what they thought the pilot needs 640 00:25:51,950 --> 00:25:48,500 so so convoluted but those two Logics 641 00:25:54,769 --> 00:25:51,960 which seemed obvious to either to both 642 00:25:57,649 --> 00:25:54,779 of them to both parties did not connect 643 00:26:00,230 --> 00:25:57,659 in the cockpit when it was operated and 644 00:26:02,570 --> 00:26:00,240 hence it was considered to be a ghost in 645 00:26:06,590 --> 00:26:02,580 the machine and it was also a taboo 646 00:26:08,990 --> 00:26:06,600 topic and that kind of resonated with me 647 00:26:11,510 --> 00:26:09,000 in respect to 648 00:26:14,870 --> 00:26:11,520 how could you not talk about something 649 00:26:16,970 --> 00:26:14,880 that bothers you if it's has to do with 650 00:26:19,850 --> 00:26:16,980 safety of another person 651 00:26:22,310 --> 00:26:19,860 especially that I was already 652 00:26:24,490 --> 00:26:22,320 working with the mentality for example 653 00:26:27,049 --> 00:26:24,500 in skydiving and also Learning to Fly 654 00:26:29,210 --> 00:26:27,059 that you cannot 655 00:26:31,430 --> 00:26:29,220 leave a thought out if you've got a 656 00:26:33,649 --> 00:26:31,440 doubt even if it's just a stomach 657 00:26:36,049 --> 00:26:33,659 feeling in your stomach or 658 00:26:38,269 --> 00:26:36,059 you for some reason get chills 659 00:26:40,610 --> 00:26:38,279 you cannot ignore that because it's to 660 00:26:42,890 --> 00:26:40,620 do with safety so there may be somewhere 661 00:26:45,470 --> 00:26:42,900 a clue and it's always good to voice 662 00:26:48,230 --> 00:26:45,480 that because if you don't you'll regret 663 00:26:51,950 --> 00:26:48,240 it you really regret it because it will 664 00:26:54,529 --> 00:26:51,960 affect either you or your colleagues and 665 00:26:56,630 --> 00:26:54,539 sometimes sort of looking into cognitive 666 00:26:58,610 --> 00:26:56,640 processing and information flow 667 00:27:00,470 --> 00:26:58,620 sometimes you notice something but 668 00:27:02,029 --> 00:27:00,480 you're not aware of it so for example 669 00:27:03,169 --> 00:27:02,039 you could be looking but you're not 670 00:27:05,990 --> 00:27:03,179 seeing 671 00:27:07,010 --> 00:27:06,000 and this is exactly the same so I 672 00:27:11,390 --> 00:27:07,020 thought 673 00:27:14,269 --> 00:27:11,400 if these Pilots are not reporting errors 674 00:27:17,149 --> 00:27:14,279 and it was surprising to me but then 675 00:27:19,549 --> 00:27:17,159 speaking with commercial pilots in my 676 00:27:22,850 --> 00:27:19,559 work I realized that 677 00:27:24,890 --> 00:27:22,860 there's an expectation or a culture that 678 00:27:26,630 --> 00:27:24,900 a pilot especially a captain especially 679 00:27:28,970 --> 00:27:26,640 a training Captain which is yet another 680 00:27:32,090 --> 00:27:28,980 level they must 681 00:27:33,409 --> 00:27:32,100 know everything it's an expectation that 682 00:27:35,090 --> 00:27:33,419 if they don't know they're not good 683 00:27:37,850 --> 00:27:35,100 enough 684 00:27:40,730 --> 00:27:37,860 and then I would say these are you know 685 00:27:42,950 --> 00:27:40,740 brave men but majority were men at the 686 00:27:45,409 --> 00:27:42,960 time I haven't met a female pilot 687 00:27:46,490 --> 00:27:45,419 commercial pilot or military pilot at 688 00:27:49,730 --> 00:27:46,500 the time 689 00:27:52,430 --> 00:27:49,740 these gentlemen were 690 00:27:55,250 --> 00:27:52,440 seriously considering and they were 691 00:27:58,430 --> 00:27:55,260 talking among themselves for safety 692 00:28:01,190 --> 00:27:58,440 purposes but they were unable to 693 00:28:02,810 --> 00:28:01,200 officially report these problems of not 694 00:28:03,830 --> 00:28:02,820 understanding what was happening in the 695 00:28:06,830 --> 00:28:03,840 cockpit 696 00:28:08,870 --> 00:28:06,840 because there was a fear of losing a job 697 00:28:11,390 --> 00:28:08,880 being suspended and of course then it's 698 00:28:12,470 --> 00:28:11,400 your life you know it's your income it's 699 00:28:14,690 --> 00:28:12,480 your family 700 00:28:17,149 --> 00:28:14,700 it's um you know everything breaks down 701 00:28:19,130 --> 00:28:17,159 from there especially if he the person 702 00:28:22,310 --> 00:28:19,140 is the soul 703 00:28:23,810 --> 00:28:22,320 provider for the family it's an um it's 704 00:28:27,169 --> 00:28:23,820 a massive impact 705 00:28:29,810 --> 00:28:27,179 and the war instances where people were 706 00:28:32,930 --> 00:28:29,820 taken off their jobs suspended and they 707 00:28:34,430 --> 00:28:32,940 didn't receive money basically and they 708 00:28:37,370 --> 00:28:34,440 committed suicide 709 00:28:39,710 --> 00:28:37,380 and Pilots are very 710 00:28:41,149 --> 00:28:39,720 stressful profession as a dish that is 711 00:28:43,370 --> 00:28:41,159 it is they're far away from family 712 00:28:45,890 --> 00:28:43,380 they're traveling a lot they're not 713 00:28:48,289 --> 00:28:45,900 connected to their social support system 714 00:28:51,350 --> 00:28:48,299 when you're leaving in one for example 715 00:28:53,990 --> 00:28:51,360 location and your job is nine to five 716 00:28:56,269 --> 00:28:54,000 and then you're with family you're 717 00:28:57,950 --> 00:28:56,279 constantly on the mall you're constantly 718 00:28:59,330 --> 00:28:57,960 changing time zones so there's a lot of 719 00:29:02,750 --> 00:28:59,340 pressures 720 00:29:05,690 --> 00:29:02,760 and then so that was kind of a key for 721 00:29:09,169 --> 00:29:05,700 me sort of a wake-up moment to listen to 722 00:29:11,269 --> 00:29:09,179 what these Pilots do with a problem 723 00:29:13,730 --> 00:29:11,279 which is very serious like if you're 724 00:29:14,870 --> 00:29:13,740 flying a plane and the first rule that 725 00:29:19,669 --> 00:29:14,880 you must 726 00:29:21,350 --> 00:29:19,679 plane if you are not ahead of the plane 727 00:29:22,789 --> 00:29:21,360 meaning that you don't know what it's 728 00:29:25,669 --> 00:29:22,799 going to do in the next the second 729 00:29:27,950 --> 00:29:25,679 minute 10 minutes an hour as far as you 730 00:29:30,289 --> 00:29:27,960 can predict then you're behind the plane 731 00:29:33,590 --> 00:29:30,299 and that's bad that means that you are 732 00:29:34,970 --> 00:29:33,600 unable to predict and consider options 733 00:29:37,549 --> 00:29:34,980 for 734 00:29:38,990 --> 00:29:37,559 where you're gonna land how you're going 735 00:29:42,370 --> 00:29:39,000 to consider 736 00:29:45,409 --> 00:29:42,380 the wins the potential for changing 737 00:29:47,269 --> 00:29:45,419 conditional fuel you will or you have to 738 00:29:49,610 --> 00:29:47,279 be almost constantly on the Move knowing 739 00:29:51,350 --> 00:29:49,620 where you will be in the next available 740 00:29:52,730 --> 00:29:51,360 time and the further you can predict the 741 00:29:56,690 --> 00:29:52,740 better 742 00:29:57,710 --> 00:29:56,700 so if the pilot is even for a Split 743 00:30:00,710 --> 00:29:57,720 Second 744 00:30:02,510 --> 00:30:00,720 is not in the state of flow and 745 00:30:05,029 --> 00:30:02,520 understanding what's happening then 746 00:30:08,029 --> 00:30:05,039 they're distracted and the whole crew 747 00:30:10,310 --> 00:30:08,039 the whole people in the cabin behind you 748 00:30:12,769 --> 00:30:10,320 if it's passengers people on the ground 749 00:30:14,930 --> 00:30:12,779 Air Traffic Control other things 750 00:30:17,990 --> 00:30:14,940 in the air is all 751 00:30:19,610 --> 00:30:18,000 it's a mess it's a picture that is not 752 00:30:22,430 --> 00:30:19,620 in the Pilot's minds and they're unable 753 00:30:25,730 --> 00:30:22,440 to perform their job efficiently 754 00:30:28,669 --> 00:30:25,740 so then I saw that there was like a 755 00:30:31,789 --> 00:30:28,679 Spurs of groups forming and they started 756 00:30:33,049 --> 00:30:31,799 so the internet was not that advanced in 757 00:30:35,990 --> 00:30:33,059 terms of sharing but there were email 758 00:30:38,210 --> 00:30:36,000 lists and they were local groups and 759 00:30:40,730 --> 00:30:38,220 there were ruler noise society which I 760 00:30:42,950 --> 00:30:40,740 was a member for and they were in 761 00:30:44,450 --> 00:30:42,960 Australia and of course in the UK and 762 00:30:46,490 --> 00:30:44,460 other countries 763 00:30:48,590 --> 00:30:46,500 and they started bringing up these 764 00:30:51,010 --> 00:30:48,600 issues and saying that we must do 765 00:30:54,830 --> 00:30:51,020 something about this we must speak up 766 00:30:56,930 --> 00:30:54,840 and there shouldn't be a blame culture 767 00:30:58,850 --> 00:30:56,940 if you don't know there must be a 768 00:31:01,010 --> 00:30:58,860 legitimate reason and if you ask another 769 00:31:03,649 --> 00:31:01,020 Captain you know that you feel safe to 770 00:31:05,690 --> 00:31:03,659 us and they also don't know that's a 771 00:31:08,029 --> 00:31:05,700 problem that's a big problem one thing 772 00:31:09,769 --> 00:31:08,039 is one person doesn't know but if your 773 00:31:10,610 --> 00:31:09,779 colleagues of the same level don't know 774 00:31:13,310 --> 00:31:10,620 then 775 00:31:14,930 --> 00:31:13,320 this is a problem in the system it's not 776 00:31:15,830 --> 00:31:14,940 a problem with that knowledge of that 777 00:31:17,690 --> 00:31:15,840 person 778 00:31:20,510 --> 00:31:17,700 and that's when 779 00:31:23,450 --> 00:31:20,520 it's that there was a beginning of 780 00:31:27,049 --> 00:31:23,460 uprise I would say to say that we must 781 00:31:29,769 --> 00:31:27,059 report any problem any error otherwise 782 00:31:31,970 --> 00:31:29,779 it's your life on the line it's everyone 783 00:31:33,649 --> 00:31:31,980 you know that you're flying with it's 784 00:31:36,169 --> 00:31:33,659 the company's line 785 00:31:38,090 --> 00:31:36,179 and so once these brave people started 786 00:31:40,370 --> 00:31:38,100 to bring up this problems it started to 787 00:31:42,950 --> 00:31:40,380 be frame and there was a beginning of 788 00:31:44,810 --> 00:31:42,960 NTSB so National Transportation safety 789 00:31:45,889 --> 00:31:44,820 board in the U.S and equivalent in 790 00:31:49,070 --> 00:31:45,899 Australia 791 00:31:51,590 --> 00:31:49,080 started to form databases where they 792 00:31:52,730 --> 00:31:51,600 started to put the lines 793 00:31:57,529 --> 00:31:52,740 or 794 00:32:01,130 --> 00:31:57,539 phrase that would say 795 00:32:03,649 --> 00:32:01,140 the speed mode in Airbus 320 796 00:32:05,930 --> 00:32:03,659 was not clear during this particular 797 00:32:08,510 --> 00:32:05,940 phase and there would be like literally 798 00:32:11,630 --> 00:32:08,520 from NTSB reports there will be phrases 799 00:32:13,909 --> 00:32:11,640 that will be dropped into a specifically 800 00:32:17,149 --> 00:32:13,919 safety human factors investigation 801 00:32:18,590 --> 00:32:17,159 catalog and that's what I was sieving 802 00:32:20,930 --> 00:32:18,600 through 803 00:32:23,990 --> 00:32:20,940 to understand what the problem was so 804 00:32:26,690 --> 00:32:24,000 without that there was no science can be 805 00:32:29,090 --> 00:32:26,700 done no research could be done right but 806 00:32:34,430 --> 00:32:29,100 in order for that to appear people lost 807 00:32:38,690 --> 00:32:34,440 jobs right they uh they lost their pride 808 00:32:40,310 --> 00:32:38,700 for example they lost ability to speak 809 00:32:43,669 --> 00:32:40,320 truthfully about their professional 810 00:32:46,669 --> 00:32:43,679 opinion you know because they must be 811 00:32:49,310 --> 00:32:46,679 able to be good observers right and good 812 00:32:52,190 --> 00:32:49,320 experts in what they you know if they're 813 00:32:55,370 --> 00:32:52,200 training Captain how could they not be 814 00:32:58,430 --> 00:32:55,380 qualified to report an error even if it 815 00:33:01,730 --> 00:32:58,440 seems an odd one yeah did you find a 816 00:33:05,750 --> 00:33:01,740 difference in the community so you have 817 00:33:08,630 --> 00:33:05,760 pilot communities who are reticent to 818 00:33:12,169 --> 00:33:08,640 report anomalies especially aerial 819 00:33:14,269 --> 00:33:12,179 anomalies and you worked for basically 820 00:33:16,310 --> 00:33:14,279 your whole career to help change that 821 00:33:18,590 --> 00:33:16,320 culture of reporting although it's not 822 00:33:21,350 --> 00:33:18,600 perfect now it's a lot better and that 823 00:33:23,630 --> 00:33:21,360 directly impacts safety as well as the 824 00:33:26,090 --> 00:33:23,640 well-being of Pilots I wonder if you can 825 00:33:28,009 --> 00:33:26,100 say something about what you find in UAP 826 00:33:29,930 --> 00:33:28,019 culture with respect to astronauts 827 00:33:33,169 --> 00:33:29,940 because I know that you have you're 828 00:33:35,509 --> 00:33:33,179 engaged in identifying those astronauts 829 00:33:37,430 --> 00:33:35,519 who are gonna do well in these extreme 830 00:33:39,350 --> 00:33:37,440 environments the extreme environment of 831 00:33:41,149 --> 00:33:39,360 space for example 832 00:33:43,509 --> 00:33:41,159 thank you Diana I think that's very 833 00:33:46,310 --> 00:33:43,519 pertinent you know the difference on how 834 00:33:47,990 --> 00:33:46,320 the two different communities uh 835 00:33:49,730 --> 00:33:48,000 approached and what they trained and 836 00:33:52,789 --> 00:33:49,740 what they're allowed and not allowed to 837 00:33:56,210 --> 00:33:52,799 do also loud and not allowed to say 838 00:34:00,049 --> 00:33:56,220 because there is Association of what 839 00:34:02,990 --> 00:34:00,059 would be the consequences so in a way 840 00:34:04,850 --> 00:34:03,000 with the astronauts in the work that I 841 00:34:08,510 --> 00:34:04,860 do and I guess it's maybe worth 842 00:34:11,710 --> 00:34:08,520 retreating that my current work is in 843 00:34:15,829 --> 00:34:11,720 designing tools and equipment to help 844 00:34:18,290 --> 00:34:15,839 astronauts to reform at the optimum but 845 00:34:20,210 --> 00:34:18,300 also to support their well-being so when 846 00:34:22,550 --> 00:34:20,220 I was working at the European astronaut 847 00:34:25,129 --> 00:34:22,560 Center there was no training for 848 00:34:29,089 --> 00:34:25,139 reporting anomalous phenomena 849 00:34:30,829 --> 00:34:29,099 related to UFO or UAP this was a topic 850 00:34:32,030 --> 00:34:30,839 that was not talked about so I didn't 851 00:34:34,849 --> 00:34:32,040 either 852 00:34:38,149 --> 00:34:34,859 and as far as I'm aware this is still 853 00:34:42,109 --> 00:34:38,159 the case and when I do listen to 854 00:34:43,609 --> 00:34:42,119 interviews of astronauts and they asked 855 00:34:45,649 --> 00:34:43,619 that question because it is on the 856 00:34:48,169 --> 00:34:45,659 Public's mind and so the public would 857 00:34:51,409 --> 00:34:48,179 generally ask that question they seemed 858 00:34:54,589 --> 00:34:51,419 to have the same way to answer it 859 00:34:56,149 --> 00:34:54,599 because I think they're told on how to 860 00:34:58,670 --> 00:34:56,159 answer that question 861 00:35:01,190 --> 00:34:58,680 and when you are sort of in a 862 00:35:04,310 --> 00:35:01,200 close-kneet discussion there may be some 863 00:35:05,570 --> 00:35:04,320 disclosure of how they feel about it but 864 00:35:09,230 --> 00:35:05,580 there isn't 865 00:35:11,750 --> 00:35:09,240 open culture of discussing it and the 866 00:35:14,510 --> 00:35:11,760 astronauts that I have seen talk about 867 00:35:16,609 --> 00:35:14,520 it they are retired so I haven't spoken 868 00:35:18,890 --> 00:35:16,619 with them personally but it is in the 869 00:35:19,790 --> 00:35:18,900 public domain those who have spoken 870 00:35:23,690 --> 00:35:19,800 about 871 00:35:27,470 --> 00:35:23,700 observing unusual when I in the air or 872 00:35:29,750 --> 00:35:27,480 in space and they're mostly 873 00:35:32,390 --> 00:35:29,760 report this once they have no 874 00:35:35,630 --> 00:35:32,400 consequential or made responsibility or 875 00:35:37,190 --> 00:35:35,640 documents they sign so obviously they 876 00:35:40,490 --> 00:35:37,200 take their job seriously in terms of 877 00:35:42,410 --> 00:35:40,500 security and what the policy is 878 00:35:45,349 --> 00:35:42,420 and you can't 879 00:35:47,810 --> 00:35:45,359 I think force people to talk about it 880 00:35:50,150 --> 00:35:47,820 even if they do want to because it's 881 00:35:51,650 --> 00:35:50,160 their livelihood just the same as we 882 00:35:54,349 --> 00:35:51,660 talked before 883 00:35:56,510 --> 00:35:54,359 does that answer the question Diana it 884 00:35:59,390 --> 00:35:56,520 does can you talk a little bit about 885 00:36:02,750 --> 00:35:59,400 your I know that you just have started 886 00:36:06,050 --> 00:36:02,760 to work with the UAP human factors task 887 00:36:07,910 --> 00:36:06,060 force can you talk about how that is and 888 00:36:10,130 --> 00:36:07,920 what you see could be 889 00:36:12,170 --> 00:36:10,140 your contribution 890 00:36:16,849 --> 00:36:12,180 so this is a group 891 00:36:19,069 --> 00:36:16,859 that I am contributing as an expert but 892 00:36:20,210 --> 00:36:19,079 of course I do not represent the views 893 00:36:22,910 --> 00:36:20,220 of the group 894 00:36:25,730 --> 00:36:22,920 and we're brought together on the basis 895 00:36:29,030 --> 00:36:25,740 that we have something to contribute and 896 00:36:32,030 --> 00:36:29,040 it's a collective effort in the same way 897 00:36:35,089 --> 00:36:32,040 as accident investigation this is again 898 00:36:37,490 --> 00:36:35,099 coming from experience that I had 899 00:36:40,310 --> 00:36:37,500 is that initially everything was human 900 00:36:42,950 --> 00:36:40,320 error right so when aircrafts would 901 00:36:44,270 --> 00:36:42,960 crash it was a pilot error it was 902 00:36:48,109 --> 00:36:44,280 definitely 903 00:36:49,790 --> 00:36:48,119 the person to blame and more so it would 904 00:36:52,430 --> 00:36:49,800 be the captain 905 00:36:56,270 --> 00:36:52,440 because they are in charge of the plane 906 00:36:59,750 --> 00:36:56,280 and even if it was something else it was 907 00:37:02,589 --> 00:36:59,760 often not even investigated in depth and 908 00:37:05,329 --> 00:37:02,599 there was a point when the investigation 909 00:37:07,550 --> 00:37:05,339 it was again a national Transportation 910 00:37:08,990 --> 00:37:07,560 safety board in the US 911 00:37:14,089 --> 00:37:09,000 that 912 00:37:17,930 --> 00:37:14,099 it was 56 percent of all the aircraft 913 00:37:20,810 --> 00:37:17,940 accidents War human error and then there 914 00:37:22,310 --> 00:37:20,820 was two leading researchers they were 915 00:37:24,710 --> 00:37:22,320 Consulting for for a national 916 00:37:26,690 --> 00:37:24,720 Transportation safety board and they 917 00:37:28,370 --> 00:37:26,700 started to look more deeply as a 918 00:37:32,030 --> 00:37:28,380 scientist you know into the data that 919 00:37:34,130 --> 00:37:32,040 was now in the reports and they also did 920 00:37:35,930 --> 00:37:34,140 the interviews because it was part of 921 00:37:38,750 --> 00:37:35,940 increasing safety because the aircrafts 922 00:37:41,630 --> 00:37:38,760 were falling down every week so 923 00:37:45,170 --> 00:37:41,640 commercial flights were crushing that 924 00:37:48,349 --> 00:37:45,180 often so it was time to look at the edit 925 00:37:51,890 --> 00:37:48,359 that it's maybe not the pilots and maybe 926 00:37:54,650 --> 00:37:51,900 the safety needs to be talked about and 927 00:37:57,470 --> 00:37:54,660 that may be this ghost in the machine is 928 00:38:00,829 --> 00:37:57,480 not something to be ignored and people 929 00:38:02,710 --> 00:38:00,839 shouldn't be blamed or fired for that so 930 00:38:05,390 --> 00:38:02,720 at that point there was an investigation 931 00:38:06,589 --> 00:38:05,400 and they brought in experts from 932 00:38:08,510 --> 00:38:06,599 management 933 00:38:11,450 --> 00:38:08,520 from Air Traffic Control from service 934 00:38:13,490 --> 00:38:11,460 from the ground from people who designed 935 00:38:16,670 --> 00:38:13,500 procedures from people who work at the 936 00:38:19,130 --> 00:38:16,680 airport so there was a much bigger 937 00:38:21,530 --> 00:38:19,140 community and there were also external 938 00:38:24,770 --> 00:38:21,540 experts who were independent reviewing 939 00:38:25,730 --> 00:38:24,780 it and until all the facts were pulled 940 00:38:28,430 --> 00:38:25,740 together 941 00:38:30,410 --> 00:38:28,440 and the cockpit of course was the voice 942 00:38:33,770 --> 00:38:30,420 the black box and the cockpit was 943 00:38:35,450 --> 00:38:33,780 analyzed they were able to see that 944 00:38:37,849 --> 00:38:35,460 there were other factors that were 945 00:38:40,790 --> 00:38:37,859 contributing and one good example is 946 00:38:43,550 --> 00:38:40,800 that there was a policy in the company 947 00:38:46,310 --> 00:38:43,560 that they could not make one more 948 00:38:49,069 --> 00:38:46,320 circuit around the airport 949 00:38:51,349 --> 00:38:49,079 because they will waste fuel 950 00:38:55,370 --> 00:38:51,359 and if they waste fuel they were 951 00:38:56,990 --> 00:38:55,380 punished in some way through I don't 952 00:38:59,690 --> 00:38:57,000 know not giving up getting a good flight 953 00:39:03,410 --> 00:38:59,700 or there are many ways that you could 954 00:39:05,930 --> 00:39:03,420 have affect an individual in the company 955 00:39:08,930 --> 00:39:05,940 or they were even celery related 956 00:39:11,810 --> 00:39:08,940 payments related consequences for you 957 00:39:13,849 --> 00:39:11,820 taking an extra circuit because you 958 00:39:15,770 --> 00:39:13,859 thought you needed to check something or 959 00:39:17,450 --> 00:39:15,780 you weren't unsure whether you should 960 00:39:19,069 --> 00:39:17,460 land for example aircraft in this 961 00:39:22,250 --> 00:39:19,079 condition or this weather condition or 962 00:39:25,670 --> 00:39:22,260 something else so as you can imagine is 963 00:39:27,349 --> 00:39:25,680 nothing to do with a consequence of a 964 00:39:29,329 --> 00:39:27,359 pilot error so they've made a decision 965 00:39:30,890 --> 00:39:29,339 because there was a pressure 966 00:39:32,750 --> 00:39:30,900 and otherwise they would have taken 967 00:39:34,130 --> 00:39:32,760 another circuit you know and they would 968 00:39:36,470 --> 00:39:34,140 have double checked and they wouldn't 969 00:39:38,810 --> 00:39:36,480 have pushed down the aircraft and those 970 00:39:40,130 --> 00:39:38,820 for example flying conditions where they 971 00:39:42,770 --> 00:39:40,140 could have changed or they maybe would 972 00:39:44,630 --> 00:39:42,780 have went to another airport because it 973 00:39:47,210 --> 00:39:44,640 was such a close call you know they were 974 00:39:49,130 --> 00:39:47,220 uncomfortable with their skill set to 975 00:39:51,530 --> 00:39:49,140 land under this conditions or in this 976 00:39:54,410 --> 00:39:51,540 state of the aircraft and hence where 977 00:39:56,810 --> 00:39:54,420 does the blame you know where did the 978 00:39:59,990 --> 00:39:56,820 error happened and that's when this 979 00:40:03,170 --> 00:40:00,000 model of Swiss cheese came about 980 00:40:04,849 --> 00:40:03,180 uh in a way where all the holes aligned 981 00:40:07,970 --> 00:40:04,859 together so there was a bad weather 982 00:40:10,790 --> 00:40:07,980 that's one hole then there was a bed for 983 00:40:12,650 --> 00:40:10,800 example visibility placed them too early 984 00:40:15,050 --> 00:40:12,660 in the queue to land or like the 985 00:40:17,990 --> 00:40:15,060 pressure them to land could have had a 986 00:40:20,210 --> 00:40:18,000 better approach or the timing was not 987 00:40:22,190 --> 00:40:20,220 right or you know there could be all 988 00:40:24,890 --> 00:40:22,200 sorts of conditions that contributed to 989 00:40:27,890 --> 00:40:24,900 that and also maybe the pilot was tired 990 00:40:29,990 --> 00:40:27,900 or rushed or they had problems at home 991 00:40:31,609 --> 00:40:30,000 that they were pressured and on top of 992 00:40:34,550 --> 00:40:31,619 that the management said if you don't 993 00:40:36,710 --> 00:40:34,560 let now your celery gets decreased so 994 00:40:38,930 --> 00:40:36,720 they make a decision and they make it 995 00:40:40,849 --> 00:40:38,940 confidently because obviously they're 996 00:40:44,150 --> 00:40:40,859 making it on the basis that okay I can 997 00:40:46,910 --> 00:40:44,160 do this and then it is an error on the 998 00:40:49,670 --> 00:40:46,920 pilot in the end but the pressure came 999 00:40:52,010 --> 00:40:49,680 in way before that moment where they 1000 00:40:53,930 --> 00:40:52,020 made a mistake so then they've 1001 00:40:56,690 --> 00:40:53,940 reattributed the errors in all of those 1002 00:40:59,630 --> 00:40:56,700 accidents and it was less than 30 1003 00:41:01,970 --> 00:40:59,640 percent was the actual pilot error when 1004 00:41:04,790 --> 00:41:01,980 they actually made a mistake so here 1005 00:41:07,069 --> 00:41:04,800 just coming back to the committee or 1006 00:41:08,990 --> 00:41:07,079 looking at to how to assist in the cop 1007 00:41:11,450 --> 00:41:09,000 reporting 1008 00:41:15,349 --> 00:41:11,460 we're in the same way there are experts 1009 00:41:18,109 --> 00:41:15,359 like myself who have a background in or 1010 00:41:19,730 --> 00:41:18,119 accidents looking into how accidents 1011 00:41:22,550 --> 00:41:19,740 were reported and how the Improvement 1012 00:41:24,950 --> 00:41:22,560 was made to attributing where the 1013 00:41:26,390 --> 00:41:24,960 problems were not just in one area but 1014 00:41:29,329 --> 00:41:26,400 there wasn't need to be an improvement 1015 00:41:31,970 --> 00:41:29,339 in several areas as not to have that 1016 00:41:34,370 --> 00:41:31,980 error to happen and that means policy 1017 00:41:35,690 --> 00:41:34,380 changing management changing culture 1018 00:41:38,150 --> 00:41:35,700 changing 1019 00:41:40,550 --> 00:41:38,160 an individual's well-being is important 1020 00:41:43,430 --> 00:41:40,560 so all of those aspects are important to 1021 00:41:46,910 --> 00:41:43,440 consider so hence on this committee 1022 00:41:49,430 --> 00:41:46,920 there are experts from lawyers to people 1023 00:41:52,670 --> 00:41:49,440 who are able to attract funding people 1024 00:41:54,950 --> 00:41:52,680 who are experts Engineers people who are 1025 00:41:58,190 --> 00:41:54,960 experts in terms of good observers 1026 00:42:00,890 --> 00:41:58,200 people have years in designing specific 1027 00:42:03,650 --> 00:42:00,900 systems and understand the behavior and 1028 00:42:07,069 --> 00:42:03,660 so I'm like a small droplet in that 1029 00:42:08,870 --> 00:42:07,079 ocean of expertise and it's important to 1030 00:42:11,270 --> 00:42:08,880 have all of those 1031 00:42:14,329 --> 00:42:11,280 to make a puzzle 1032 00:42:17,210 --> 00:42:14,339 make sense because otherwise we are 1033 00:42:19,430 --> 00:42:17,220 unable to see the picture and the 1034 00:42:21,470 --> 00:42:19,440 analysis needs to come in once all of 1035 00:42:22,370 --> 00:42:21,480 that data points or as many as we can 1036 00:42:24,410 --> 00:42:22,380 gather 1037 00:42:27,650 --> 00:42:24,420 so that's what we are working on at the 1038 00:42:29,510 --> 00:42:27,660 moment is for one is making sure what 1039 00:42:31,670 --> 00:42:29,520 kind of details need to come in into the 1040 00:42:33,890 --> 00:42:31,680 report because they've been a lot of 1041 00:42:35,390 --> 00:42:33,900 Headway already done in the US 1042 00:42:38,030 --> 00:42:35,400 specifically 1043 00:42:40,910 --> 00:42:38,040 on opening up the databases for people 1044 00:42:42,109 --> 00:42:40,920 to start to report that is how do you 1045 00:42:44,810 --> 00:42:42,119 make this 1046 00:42:47,630 --> 00:42:44,820 fluid so that data can be passed on 1047 00:42:51,050 --> 00:42:47,640 early enough because we don't want 20 1048 00:42:52,910 --> 00:42:51,060 year old data if things have the 1049 00:42:55,609 --> 00:42:52,920 frequency of this phenomena has 1050 00:42:57,950 --> 00:42:55,619 increased in the recent years especially 1051 00:43:00,109 --> 00:42:57,960 so you know what has changed why has it 1052 00:43:02,569 --> 00:43:00,119 changed so all of those aspects are 1053 00:43:05,150 --> 00:43:02,579 important to consider and 1054 00:43:08,270 --> 00:43:05,160 That's my kind of contribution is seeing 1055 00:43:11,450 --> 00:43:08,280 what I can do based on my experience 1056 00:43:13,250 --> 00:43:11,460 amazing well I'd love to shift gears a 1057 00:43:15,349 --> 00:43:13,260 little bit and talk about some of the 1058 00:43:17,930 --> 00:43:15,359 work that you do specifically with 1059 00:43:20,390 --> 00:43:17,940 astronauts so we've discussed a few 1060 00:43:22,190 --> 00:43:20,400 times on the podcast and Diana has 1061 00:43:24,770 --> 00:43:22,200 discussed in American Cosmic her book 1062 00:43:26,210 --> 00:43:24,780 The overview effect that people can 1063 00:43:28,490 --> 00:43:26,220 experience while looking back at the 1064 00:43:29,990 --> 00:43:28,500 Earth from space What insights do you 1065 00:43:32,510 --> 00:43:30,000 think we can draw from the shift in 1066 00:43:35,750 --> 00:43:32,520 Consciousness that people report 1067 00:43:40,430 --> 00:43:35,760 so the overview effect exists for a 1068 00:43:42,710 --> 00:43:40,440 while as a concept and I feel that I'm 1069 00:43:45,790 --> 00:43:42,720 better to speak in slightly different 1070 00:43:49,130 --> 00:43:45,800 direction I would say it's a helpful 1071 00:43:51,829 --> 00:43:49,140 concept to consider as a metaphor 1072 00:43:54,910 --> 00:43:51,839 of gaining A New Perspective 1073 00:43:57,890 --> 00:43:54,920 because an overview effect is when 1074 00:43:59,809 --> 00:43:57,900 astronauts or space tourists gain a 1075 00:44:02,089 --> 00:43:59,819 perspective of the earth as kind of as a 1076 00:44:04,690 --> 00:44:02,099 jewel and they are seeing it how small 1077 00:44:07,910 --> 00:44:04,700 and precious we are in this massive 1078 00:44:10,910 --> 00:44:07,920 space Blackness of it at the back 1079 00:44:14,089 --> 00:44:10,920 behind the Earth and also the famous 1080 00:44:17,510 --> 00:44:14,099 photograph that was taken from the Moon 1081 00:44:20,569 --> 00:44:17,520 and that the Earth rise that is giving 1082 00:44:23,809 --> 00:44:20,579 individual and understanding on 1083 00:44:26,690 --> 00:44:23,819 how precious we are and how we are all 1084 00:44:29,690 --> 00:44:26,700 in the same boat or a spaceship and I 1085 00:44:31,970 --> 00:44:29,700 think it is important to have that an 1086 00:44:35,150 --> 00:44:31,980 understanding that there is needs to be 1087 00:44:38,390 --> 00:44:35,160 for a Global Perspective and going into 1088 00:44:39,829 --> 00:44:38,400 space is not the only way to gain that 1089 00:44:43,490 --> 00:44:39,839 perspective 1090 00:44:46,190 --> 00:44:43,500 and I think to consider that we are all 1091 00:44:50,569 --> 00:44:46,200 one organism 1092 00:44:52,309 --> 00:44:50,579 and if you and you can look at that from 1093 00:44:54,829 --> 00:44:52,319 many 1094 00:44:56,150 --> 00:44:54,839 fields of work so you can look at the 1095 00:44:58,250 --> 00:44:56,160 engineering for example and understand 1096 00:45:00,770 --> 00:44:58,260 yourself that you're one small Cog in a 1097 00:45:05,210 --> 00:45:00,780 big wheel you can look at it from 1098 00:45:07,309 --> 00:45:05,220 biology and see the Earth as a tiny cell 1099 00:45:09,710 --> 00:45:07,319 that has a lot of elements and we're all 1100 00:45:11,750 --> 00:45:09,720 affecting each other and once there is a 1101 00:45:15,410 --> 00:45:11,760 little bit of chemical balance out of 1102 00:45:18,589 --> 00:45:15,420 work the whole cell is unable to perform 1103 00:45:21,710 --> 00:45:18,599 and it's destroyed and I think it's 1104 00:45:23,569 --> 00:45:21,720 depending on what that individual is 1105 00:45:25,970 --> 00:45:23,579 able to conceptualize 1106 00:45:27,730 --> 00:45:25,980 so somebody needs to go out and see the 1107 00:45:30,290 --> 00:45:27,740 Earth if they can afford it from space 1108 00:45:31,970 --> 00:45:30,300 but equally you can communicate this 1109 00:45:35,210 --> 00:45:31,980 through other means 1110 00:45:36,230 --> 00:45:35,220 and understanding that we are a single 1111 00:45:39,109 --> 00:45:36,240 culture 1112 00:45:42,109 --> 00:45:39,119 is important and I think we're getting 1113 00:45:46,550 --> 00:45:42,119 closer to that from time to time and 1114 00:45:48,470 --> 00:45:46,560 then as a human kind of nation we lose 1115 00:45:51,490 --> 00:45:48,480 it for a bit and then there is another 1116 00:45:55,010 --> 00:45:51,500 Surge and I think we will have that 1117 00:45:58,309 --> 00:45:55,020 spiral change in perception as we 1118 00:46:01,069 --> 00:45:58,319 continue and hopefully will get closer 1119 00:46:04,790 --> 00:46:01,079 to understand that we are a single 1120 00:46:08,390 --> 00:46:04,800 species that we're all connected and the 1121 00:46:10,970 --> 00:46:08,400 air we breathe is produced by trees that 1122 00:46:13,430 --> 00:46:10,980 we're cutting it's the simplest way if 1123 00:46:15,650 --> 00:46:13,440 an astronaut is in space and you cut 1124 00:46:18,230 --> 00:46:15,660 their oxygen flow 1125 00:46:20,750 --> 00:46:18,240 there's very little time there's 1126 00:46:22,910 --> 00:46:20,760 no time and we had those incidences 1127 00:46:25,490 --> 00:46:22,920 including skydiving 1128 00:46:27,950 --> 00:46:25,500 well skydiving is sort of when you 1129 00:46:29,270 --> 00:46:27,960 suddenly hit with this airflow and 1130 00:46:31,130 --> 00:46:29,280 you're unable to take a breath in 1131 00:46:32,150 --> 00:46:31,140 because it's just shocking but the point 1132 00:46:33,710 --> 00:46:32,160 is that 1133 00:46:36,770 --> 00:46:33,720 I think once we understand that there is 1134 00:46:38,870 --> 00:46:36,780 no more oxygen flow and if we can 1135 00:46:40,250 --> 00:46:38,880 conceptualize this is equally good to 1136 00:46:43,309 --> 00:46:40,260 change perspective 1137 00:46:46,010 --> 00:46:43,319 so this realization that the Earth is 1138 00:46:47,829 --> 00:46:46,020 kind of its own single organism 1139 00:46:50,690 --> 00:46:47,839 how has that 1140 00:46:53,210 --> 00:46:50,700 realization impacted your work 1141 00:46:55,790 --> 00:46:53,220 especially with regards to 1142 00:46:57,470 --> 00:46:55,800 the Earth language that you're working 1143 00:46:59,690 --> 00:46:57,480 on developing 1144 00:47:02,390 --> 00:46:59,700 that's very helpful actually to frame it 1145 00:47:06,050 --> 00:47:02,400 in the way that we are all 1146 00:47:08,390 --> 00:47:06,060 on one Earth on one spaceship or on one 1147 00:47:12,109 --> 00:47:08,400 single cell organism 1148 00:47:14,690 --> 00:47:12,119 and what I find that is vital 1149 00:47:16,870 --> 00:47:14,700 because I've also worked on projects on 1150 00:47:19,130 --> 00:47:16,880 how couches speaking the same language 1151 00:47:21,349 --> 00:47:19,140 miscommunicate and completely 1152 00:47:24,589 --> 00:47:21,359 misunderstand each other 1153 00:47:26,150 --> 00:47:24,599 and this is kind of ironic right that we 1154 00:47:28,849 --> 00:47:26,160 presume that we understand what the 1155 00:47:31,309 --> 00:47:28,859 other person is saying and yet then when 1156 00:47:34,430 --> 00:47:31,319 they execute what we agreed on is 1157 00:47:36,650 --> 00:47:34,440 completely different to what I assume 1158 00:47:39,470 --> 00:47:36,660 that we'll be doing although we use the 1159 00:47:41,750 --> 00:47:39,480 same language and the same kind of words 1160 00:47:44,270 --> 00:47:41,760 but the concept behind the word is very 1161 00:47:46,609 --> 00:47:44,280 different but equally when we meet 1162 00:47:51,829 --> 00:47:46,619 somebody who is not speaking our own 1163 00:47:53,089 --> 00:47:51,839 language we are much more careful so in 1164 00:47:56,089 --> 00:47:53,099 that particular project which was 1165 00:48:00,349 --> 00:47:56,099 interesting that Nations that were 1166 00:48:02,510 --> 00:48:00,359 speaking English right they that was not 1167 00:48:04,490 --> 00:48:02,520 their first language they were actually 1168 00:48:06,250 --> 00:48:04,500 much better in understanding each other 1169 00:48:08,270 --> 00:48:06,260 and they had less 1170 00:48:10,609 --> 00:48:08,280 miscommunications about what they're 1171 00:48:13,370 --> 00:48:10,619 going to do or how they are going to go 1172 00:48:15,470 --> 00:48:13,380 ahead and that really was interesting 1173 00:48:17,870 --> 00:48:15,480 that on the one end when you're speaking 1174 00:48:20,210 --> 00:48:17,880 the same language there is an instant 1175 00:48:22,130 --> 00:48:20,220 connection so for example if I meet 1176 00:48:24,530 --> 00:48:22,140 someone who was born in the same place 1177 00:48:26,450 --> 00:48:24,540 where I was so I find out often people 1178 00:48:29,329 --> 00:48:26,460 ask you where are you from 1179 00:48:31,190 --> 00:48:29,339 and sometimes it's the question that 1180 00:48:33,829 --> 00:48:31,200 kind of you know you don't want to 1181 00:48:35,450 --> 00:48:33,839 answer depending on where you are what 1182 00:48:37,430 --> 00:48:35,460 you're doing or you're just tired of it 1183 00:48:39,050 --> 00:48:37,440 if you are living in a foreign to You 1184 00:48:40,670 --> 00:48:39,060 country and because of your accent 1185 00:48:41,930 --> 00:48:40,680 people constantly ask you this question 1186 00:48:43,190 --> 00:48:41,940 I'm just thinking you know I've been 1187 00:48:46,010 --> 00:48:43,200 here before 1188 00:48:47,390 --> 00:48:46,020 and yet then you meet somebody who 1189 00:48:49,730 --> 00:48:47,400 doesn't need to ask that question and 1190 00:48:51,829 --> 00:48:49,740 say oh my god do you remember that or 1191 00:48:53,930 --> 00:48:51,839 have you been there well this is amazing 1192 00:48:55,609 --> 00:48:53,940 how about that food or how about that 1193 00:48:59,030 --> 00:48:55,619 smell or do you remember that and 1194 00:49:01,430 --> 00:48:59,040 suddenly your total strangers and yet 1195 00:49:04,490 --> 00:49:01,440 you're totally connected just because of 1196 00:49:07,069 --> 00:49:04,500 your origin or because of your 1197 00:49:08,829 --> 00:49:07,079 language that you're speaking so there 1198 00:49:13,390 --> 00:49:08,839 is many barriers of broken 1199 00:49:16,670 --> 00:49:13,400 instantaneously if you have the same 1200 00:49:18,710 --> 00:49:16,680 Concepts so although we shouldn't take 1201 00:49:20,690 --> 00:49:18,720 it for granted the language that we 1202 00:49:23,270 --> 00:49:20,700 could misunderstand the concept but 1203 00:49:25,490 --> 00:49:23,280 equally it allows us to connect in such 1204 00:49:28,250 --> 00:49:25,500 a way that a lot of barriers in 1205 00:49:29,630 --> 00:49:28,260 communication and interactions 1206 00:49:32,750 --> 00:49:29,640 taken away 1207 00:49:36,050 --> 00:49:32,760 and if I meet someone from my own 1208 00:49:37,609 --> 00:49:36,060 culture my own Hometown or even studying 1209 00:49:40,250 --> 00:49:37,619 the same degree for example right 1210 00:49:43,309 --> 00:49:40,260 cognitive engineer where suddenly 1211 00:49:45,349 --> 00:49:43,319 halfway into conversational reading we 1212 00:49:47,150 --> 00:49:45,359 don't need to make a lot of back talk 1213 00:49:48,710 --> 00:49:47,160 because we have a lot of Concepts 1214 00:49:53,030 --> 00:49:48,720 similar to each other 1215 00:49:55,309 --> 00:49:53,040 so my thought that came about regarding 1216 00:49:57,770 --> 00:49:55,319 Earth's language is to think what can be 1217 00:50:00,589 --> 00:49:57,780 what can connect us at the core and 1218 00:50:02,930 --> 00:50:00,599 completely change our connections where 1219 00:50:03,770 --> 00:50:02,940 we don't approach with hostility to each 1220 00:50:07,010 --> 00:50:03,780 other 1221 00:50:09,589 --> 00:50:07,020 or rather not hostility but caution and 1222 00:50:11,990 --> 00:50:09,599 fear that something would happen because 1223 00:50:13,970 --> 00:50:12,000 we are taught as children you know 1224 00:50:16,730 --> 00:50:13,980 strange Danger 1225 00:50:18,770 --> 00:50:16,740 and it's so ingrained for the right 1226 00:50:20,809 --> 00:50:18,780 reasons right because we're protecting 1227 00:50:24,050 --> 00:50:20,819 children because the world is not as 1228 00:50:26,210 --> 00:50:24,060 safe as we would like to be but then you 1229 00:50:28,250 --> 00:50:26,220 are constantly on guard and to make that 1230 00:50:31,730 --> 00:50:28,260 connection is very difficult 1231 00:50:35,030 --> 00:50:31,740 but if we could create this acceptance 1232 00:50:37,430 --> 00:50:35,040 and connectedness to not just the 1233 00:50:39,470 --> 00:50:37,440 language the human you know human spoken 1234 00:50:41,329 --> 00:50:39,480 language but if we could make a 1235 00:50:44,990 --> 00:50:41,339 connection to the language as we are 1236 00:50:48,890 --> 00:50:45,000 speaking to our surrounding and hear our 1237 00:50:50,870 --> 00:50:48,900 surrounding because very frequently if I 1238 00:50:54,349 --> 00:50:50,880 am in the city 1239 00:50:57,170 --> 00:50:54,359 I actually can't hear the Earth at all 1240 00:50:58,970 --> 00:50:57,180 and I could be sitting in my house and 1241 00:51:00,349 --> 00:50:58,980 if the windows are not open I can't hear 1242 00:51:03,710 --> 00:51:00,359 the birds 1243 00:51:05,690 --> 00:51:03,720 and I feel as if I have blinkers on and 1244 00:51:08,750 --> 00:51:05,700 I'm suddenly immersed and forgetting 1245 00:51:10,910 --> 00:51:08,760 that for example that I am very much 1246 00:51:12,710 --> 00:51:10,920 alone but as soon as I open the window I 1247 00:51:14,390 --> 00:51:12,720 hear the birds and understand okay am I 1248 00:51:15,950 --> 00:51:14,400 actually much bigger and much more 1249 00:51:18,470 --> 00:51:15,960 connected and much more supported than 1250 00:51:20,569 --> 00:51:18,480 if I just go out and get some fresh air 1251 00:51:22,730 --> 00:51:20,579 new information would flow in because I 1252 00:51:25,549 --> 00:51:22,740 would feel much more refreshed 1253 00:51:27,109 --> 00:51:25,559 and the same thing with the children if 1254 00:51:29,630 --> 00:51:27,119 we could make them more connected to 1255 00:51:32,390 --> 00:51:29,640 Nature then I was hoping that through 1256 00:51:35,390 --> 00:51:32,400 that connection we would be able to give 1257 00:51:38,030 --> 00:51:35,400 them an opportunity to be more connected 1258 00:51:39,349 --> 00:51:38,040 to each other because if there is a 1259 00:51:41,569 --> 00:51:39,359 common language 1260 00:51:42,950 --> 00:51:41,579 or hearing nature and understanding 1261 00:51:45,530 --> 00:51:42,960 nature 1262 00:51:47,510 --> 00:51:45,540 then everywhere they are on earth as 1263 00:51:49,849 --> 00:51:47,520 soon as they hear anything you know in 1264 00:51:52,370 --> 00:51:49,859 insect a frog or a bird 1265 00:51:54,530 --> 00:51:52,380 which is a kind of a constant resonance 1266 00:51:56,630 --> 00:51:54,540 that it's always in the background I 1267 00:52:00,230 --> 00:51:56,640 mean unless you are in a very cold 1268 00:52:03,890 --> 00:52:00,240 country there is always this overtone or 1269 00:52:05,390 --> 00:52:03,900 undertone or background of creatures and 1270 00:52:07,970 --> 00:52:05,400 if you can 1271 00:52:10,549 --> 00:52:07,980 be connected into that field and 1272 00:52:13,370 --> 00:52:10,559 literally vibrate with that field 1273 00:52:15,770 --> 00:52:13,380 I feel no matter where you'd go you'd be 1274 00:52:18,589 --> 00:52:15,780 able to connect with that 1275 00:52:20,210 --> 00:52:18,599 that's a beautiful idea it also seems 1276 00:52:22,130 --> 00:52:20,220 like it would be very daunting to try to 1277 00:52:23,690 --> 00:52:22,140 figure out how to create 1278 00:52:25,849 --> 00:52:23,700 something like that that's sort of a 1279 00:52:27,710 --> 00:52:25,859 language so how have you even begun to 1280 00:52:31,490 --> 00:52:27,720 tackle this problem how do you think 1281 00:52:33,309 --> 00:52:31,500 about it when my children were born 1282 00:52:35,930 --> 00:52:33,319 I was very 1283 00:52:37,549 --> 00:52:35,940 interested to tell them about where 1284 00:52:40,549 --> 00:52:37,559 they've just arrived to because they 1285 00:52:41,990 --> 00:52:40,559 literally land and so women who support 1286 00:52:44,510 --> 00:52:42,000 birth at home 1287 00:52:48,230 --> 00:52:44,520 their other sort of name of their 1288 00:52:51,410 --> 00:52:48,240 profession is Doula they say they meet 1289 00:52:55,069 --> 00:52:51,420 the baby earth side so sort of like when 1290 00:52:57,950 --> 00:52:55,079 it lands on in our dimension 1291 00:53:00,349 --> 00:52:57,960 and it is literally a landing on a 1292 00:53:01,970 --> 00:53:00,359 completely different plane on a 1293 00:53:05,390 --> 00:53:01,980 spaceship earth 1294 00:53:07,609 --> 00:53:05,400 and we need to introduce them and we do 1295 00:53:08,990 --> 00:53:07,619 this in many many different cultures to 1296 00:53:12,530 --> 00:53:09,000 this in different way 1297 00:53:15,829 --> 00:53:12,540 and in our Western culture 1298 00:53:19,670 --> 00:53:15,839 there is a lot of ways which is right or 1299 00:53:21,589 --> 00:53:19,680 wrong right but it does not trusted to a 1300 00:53:23,930 --> 00:53:21,599 mother's intuition which is quite 1301 00:53:26,329 --> 00:53:23,940 interesting I think that we are coming 1302 00:53:29,210 --> 00:53:26,339 back to it so it's a big movement to 1303 00:53:31,250 --> 00:53:29,220 trust a woman herself of what is the 1304 00:53:34,549 --> 00:53:31,260 right thing for their baby instead of 1305 00:53:36,290 --> 00:53:34,559 being pushed with what should be done or 1306 00:53:38,210 --> 00:53:36,300 when the baby should be fed 1307 00:53:39,910 --> 00:53:38,220 and I was bombarded with all of that 1308 00:53:42,349 --> 00:53:39,920 because I'm very 1309 00:53:44,510 --> 00:53:42,359 intellectual if you wish and I trust the 1310 00:53:48,349 --> 00:53:44,520 science and I was trained in science but 1311 00:53:51,349 --> 00:53:48,359 equally I had this inner knowing that 1312 00:53:53,510 --> 00:53:51,359 I want to introduce my baby not to wait 1313 00:53:55,370 --> 00:53:53,520 until they're 11 or 1314 00:53:56,270 --> 00:53:55,380 you know until they're 15 to tell them 1315 00:53:59,210 --> 00:53:56,280 about 1316 00:54:00,770 --> 00:53:59,220 how I see this world and I want to show 1317 00:54:02,930 --> 00:54:00,780 that in some way 1318 00:54:05,030 --> 00:54:02,940 and so I thought how can I communicate 1319 00:54:06,950 --> 00:54:05,040 what is the way to settle anything to my 1320 00:54:09,650 --> 00:54:06,960 baby apart from hugging and changing 1321 00:54:12,589 --> 00:54:09,660 them and feeding them and cuddling them 1322 00:54:15,650 --> 00:54:12,599 you know attempting to sing to them and 1323 00:54:17,030 --> 00:54:15,660 so I started to look on black and white 1324 00:54:18,710 --> 00:54:17,040 books because I thought there's 1325 00:54:21,230 --> 00:54:18,720 information there and there's something 1326 00:54:23,089 --> 00:54:21,240 that I could communicate through the 1327 00:54:26,030 --> 00:54:23,099 pictures and because I am a cognitive 1328 00:54:27,770 --> 00:54:26,040 engineer I know that pictures can tell a 1329 00:54:30,589 --> 00:54:27,780 lot you know we can change people's 1330 00:54:32,089 --> 00:54:30,599 cognition and perception and decision 1331 00:54:34,309 --> 00:54:32,099 making and awareness 1332 00:54:36,049 --> 00:54:34,319 and I started to look and I found the 1333 00:54:38,630 --> 00:54:36,059 best book you know the best book I could 1334 00:54:41,450 --> 00:54:38,640 possibly afford is about that Amazon 1335 00:54:44,030 --> 00:54:41,460 reviews were really high and I bought 1336 00:54:45,589 --> 00:54:44,040 the book and I looked at the book and I 1337 00:54:48,410 --> 00:54:45,599 was crying you know you get very 1338 00:54:50,450 --> 00:54:48,420 emotional when you just keep birthing 1339 00:54:52,609 --> 00:54:50,460 your still breastfeeding and I was 1340 00:54:55,250 --> 00:54:52,619 trying to figure out why is this that 1341 00:54:58,609 --> 00:54:55,260 we've built um large hydrogen collider 1342 00:55:02,630 --> 00:54:58,619 we have robots that look like humans and 1343 00:55:05,030 --> 00:55:02,640 that we have been to the moon and and so 1344 00:55:07,730 --> 00:55:05,040 all these Grand projects and yet we're 1345 00:55:09,049 --> 00:55:07,740 showing to the baby who has an absolute 1346 00:55:12,770 --> 00:55:09,059 capacity 1347 00:55:15,589 --> 00:55:12,780 of making billion Connections in such a 1348 00:55:17,569 --> 00:55:15,599 short space of time in their brain being 1349 00:55:21,109 --> 00:55:17,579 networked it's like a foundation being 1350 00:55:23,690 --> 00:55:21,119 built and we're not using that the only 1351 00:55:25,490 --> 00:55:23,700 thing that we the babies are lucky that 1352 00:55:28,069 --> 00:55:25,500 we are talking with them and they would 1353 00:55:29,630 --> 00:55:28,079 be ever so lucky if they live in a busy 1354 00:55:30,890 --> 00:55:29,640 household because they will hear more 1355 00:55:33,470 --> 00:55:30,900 conversations 1356 00:55:36,290 --> 00:55:33,480 and yet that even that is kind of lost 1357 00:55:38,870 --> 00:55:36,300 and so at best or hear a radio and a 1358 00:55:40,910 --> 00:55:38,880 YouTube and a TV program and they 1359 00:55:42,049 --> 00:55:40,920 wouldn't hear maybe even a grandmother 1360 00:55:45,349 --> 00:55:42,059 tongue 1361 00:55:48,170 --> 00:55:45,359 which is often an intonation that is 1362 00:55:50,809 --> 00:55:48,180 filled with frequencies of love and 1363 00:55:54,770 --> 00:55:50,819 connection and empathy 1364 00:55:56,990 --> 00:55:54,780 and so I looked on thinking why are we 1365 00:55:59,510 --> 00:55:57,000 showing to the baby a shadow of a mouse 1366 00:56:02,089 --> 00:55:59,520 that doesn't even look like a mouse or 1367 00:56:03,950 --> 00:56:02,099 why are we showing a butterfly not in 1368 00:56:07,250 --> 00:56:03,960 the right shape 1369 00:56:08,450 --> 00:56:07,260 and why are we choosing these images and 1370 00:56:10,970 --> 00:56:08,460 nothing else 1371 00:56:12,290 --> 00:56:10,980 and of course these are artists and 1372 00:56:14,690 --> 00:56:12,300 these are Publishers and they know 1373 00:56:16,790 --> 00:56:14,700 what's selling and this is a notion 1374 00:56:18,170 --> 00:56:16,800 that's been there for a while but I 1375 00:56:21,290 --> 00:56:18,180 thought I'm not showing this to my baby 1376 00:56:23,569 --> 00:56:21,300 because this is not true I don't want my 1377 00:56:25,490 --> 00:56:23,579 baby's brain to be wired to think that 1378 00:56:28,730 --> 00:56:25,500 that's how the world is looking 1379 00:56:31,130 --> 00:56:28,740 and I thought look I designed cockpit I 1380 00:56:34,010 --> 00:56:31,140 designed information space why can't I 1381 00:56:36,049 --> 00:56:34,020 design a cockpit or an information space 1382 00:56:37,970 --> 00:56:36,059 for the baby about what I want to 1383 00:56:41,089 --> 00:56:37,980 communicate what I want to show I want 1384 00:56:44,630 --> 00:56:41,099 to show how beautiful it is how unusual 1385 00:56:46,849 --> 00:56:44,640 and how rich this environment is and who 1386 00:56:49,250 --> 00:56:46,859 is to say that the baby can't perceive 1387 00:56:51,349 --> 00:56:49,260 it you know and then I started reading 1388 00:56:54,349 --> 00:56:51,359 into what we know scientifically about 1389 00:56:56,569 --> 00:56:54,359 what babies know or what able they can 1390 00:56:59,270 --> 00:56:56,579 perceive physiologically 1391 00:57:02,690 --> 00:56:59,280 and we do know a lot about what baby can 1392 00:57:05,569 --> 00:57:02,700 perceive and I then started to form and 1393 00:57:08,690 --> 00:57:05,579 designed principles as just as I would 1394 00:57:10,549 --> 00:57:08,700 for a cockpit or aircraft display or 1395 00:57:13,730 --> 00:57:10,559 space type of equipment to understand 1396 00:57:16,549 --> 00:57:13,740 what we can absorb what the physiology 1397 00:57:19,130 --> 00:57:16,559 can take and what our cognitive 1398 00:57:21,170 --> 00:57:19,140 processing is able to take in 1399 00:57:22,370 --> 00:57:21,180 and then based on that you design a 1400 00:57:25,730 --> 00:57:22,380 principle and then look for information 1401 00:57:27,650 --> 00:57:25,740 to match that how do you represent that 1402 00:57:29,450 --> 00:57:27,660 to match those parameters or 1403 00:57:32,990 --> 00:57:29,460 requirements if you wish 1404 00:57:35,390 --> 00:57:33,000 and things started to emerge and they 1405 00:57:37,250 --> 00:57:35,400 were so easy to find Once those designs 1406 00:57:39,890 --> 00:57:37,260 principles were available 1407 00:57:41,930 --> 00:57:39,900 and they started popping and I just 1408 00:57:45,650 --> 00:57:41,940 started to draw them and I started 1409 00:57:46,730 --> 00:57:45,660 showing to my baby what I thought they 1410 00:57:48,950 --> 00:57:46,740 might like 1411 00:57:51,470 --> 00:57:48,960 and they would just stare at it and they 1412 00:57:53,930 --> 00:57:51,480 would just not take their eyes away and 1413 00:57:55,910 --> 00:57:53,940 I was amazed who were to say that babies 1414 00:57:57,710 --> 00:57:55,920 have no concentration 1415 00:58:00,829 --> 00:57:57,720 they had an extraordinary concentration 1416 00:58:02,690 --> 00:58:00,839 and they wanted more you know so my 1417 00:58:04,790 --> 00:58:02,700 friends were asking what is it that 1418 00:58:06,589 --> 00:58:04,800 you're showing to your baby is it is it 1419 00:58:08,870 --> 00:58:06,599 okay for them to see it and I said well 1420 00:58:10,670 --> 00:58:08,880 look they're happy they're not crying in 1421 00:58:12,650 --> 00:58:10,680 fact they stop crying if I start showing 1422 00:58:15,470 --> 00:58:12,660 it to them so if I need an extra minute 1423 00:58:17,930 --> 00:58:15,480 to change them or to wash them or to get 1424 00:58:19,790 --> 00:58:17,940 some food ready or to get myself ready 1425 00:58:22,670 --> 00:58:19,800 or to get myself a whole cup of tea 1426 00:58:24,589 --> 00:58:22,680 while I sit down to breastfeed them and 1427 00:58:26,809 --> 00:58:24,599 I could give them something useful that 1428 00:58:29,150 --> 00:58:26,819 they could study why not 1429 00:58:31,970 --> 00:58:29,160 so that's what I did and then someone 1430 00:58:33,770 --> 00:58:31,980 said why don't you publish this and so I 1431 00:58:36,349 --> 00:58:33,780 thought okay I'll publish this 1432 00:58:38,569 --> 00:58:36,359 and then when I started to publish this 1433 00:58:40,069 --> 00:58:38,579 instead giving like a sample a template 1434 00:58:42,049 --> 00:58:40,079 to what it would be if people start 1435 00:58:43,730 --> 00:58:42,059 asking so about what is this why are you 1436 00:58:45,710 --> 00:58:43,740 showing this why are you thinking people 1437 00:58:47,690 --> 00:58:45,720 want to buy it and so then I had to 1438 00:58:48,710 --> 00:58:47,700 write a description of what these images 1439 00:58:57,530 --> 00:58:48,720 were 1440 00:58:59,510 --> 00:58:57,540 because suddenly they could 1441 00:59:01,670 --> 00:58:59,520 show and share with the baby something 1442 00:59:03,410 --> 00:59:01,680 very intellectual so a father could just 1443 00:59:05,569 --> 00:59:03,420 show the book and say well I've read 1444 00:59:06,890 --> 00:59:05,579 with the book today with why one month's 1445 00:59:09,530 --> 00:59:06,900 old baby 1446 00:59:13,309 --> 00:59:09,540 and they could share it with other young 1447 00:59:15,289 --> 00:59:13,319 fathers or new fathers and say not only 1448 00:59:18,170 --> 00:59:15,299 that they've done that but actually they 1449 00:59:22,010 --> 00:59:18,180 would share facts about what they were 1450 00:59:25,670 --> 00:59:22,020 looking and the idea was is to take 1451 00:59:28,870 --> 00:59:25,680 every profession that I could connect to 1452 00:59:32,270 --> 00:59:28,880 and transcribe that into visual images 1453 00:59:34,190 --> 00:59:32,280 that a parent can then share what they 1454 00:59:36,410 --> 00:59:34,200 are passionate about about their field 1455 00:59:37,309 --> 00:59:36,420 of work or what they're fascinated their 1456 00:59:40,789 --> 00:59:37,319 Hobby 1457 00:59:44,089 --> 00:59:40,799 to the baby at this age and what happens 1458 00:59:46,010 --> 00:59:44,099 is that the father or even a mother who 1459 00:59:49,010 --> 00:59:46,020 doesn't know how to interact with the 1460 00:59:49,970 --> 00:59:49,020 baby Beyond those things nurturing 1461 00:59:52,789 --> 00:59:49,980 things 1462 00:59:54,890 --> 00:59:52,799 then suddenly they feel that they're 1463 00:59:57,170 --> 00:59:54,900 transported into a different world the 1464 00:59:59,510 --> 00:59:57,180 mother relaxed the father relaxed the 1465 01:00:02,150 --> 00:59:59,520 uncle is able to take the baby off the 1466 01:00:04,670 --> 01:00:02,160 mother give the mother a break and they 1467 01:00:06,950 --> 01:00:04,680 are both sharing this other world of 1468 01:00:09,049 --> 01:00:06,960 Earthly World about what Earth is like 1469 01:00:12,109 --> 01:00:09,059 and they're both learning and they're 1470 01:00:14,390 --> 01:00:12,119 both fascinated and both are uplifted 1471 01:00:16,730 --> 01:00:14,400 after experience because otherwise the 1472 01:00:19,130 --> 01:00:16,740 uncle or grandparent or a new father 1473 01:00:22,130 --> 01:00:19,140 doesn't know what to do with the baby 1474 01:00:24,710 --> 01:00:22,140 and here they're both coming out on the 1475 01:00:26,510 --> 01:00:24,720 other part of this journey fulfilled 1476 01:00:29,030 --> 01:00:26,520 because the baby was happy the father 1477 01:00:31,010 --> 01:00:29,040 was happy and more so they get to tell 1478 01:00:32,690 --> 01:00:31,020 the stories about it like a friend who 1479 01:00:34,490 --> 01:00:32,700 doesn't have children that they held the 1480 01:00:36,049 --> 01:00:34,500 baby for half an hour and the baby 1481 01:00:38,210 --> 01:00:36,059 didn't cry 1482 01:00:40,970 --> 01:00:38,220 and and the mother got a break or a 1483 01:00:43,910 --> 01:00:40,980 father got a break and it's kind of I 1484 01:00:46,069 --> 01:00:43,920 think it's amazing what we don't know 1485 01:00:48,049 --> 01:00:46,079 and what we should find out and more 1486 01:00:51,049 --> 01:00:48,059 things we can uncover 1487 01:00:53,329 --> 01:00:51,059 can you describe for listeners who might 1488 01:00:55,130 --> 01:00:53,339 be having trouble picturing this what 1489 01:00:57,890 --> 01:00:55,140 does this book look like can you 1490 01:00:59,630 --> 01:00:57,900 describe what you're showing the baby 1491 01:01:01,789 --> 01:00:59,640 so the images are in black and white 1492 01:01:05,930 --> 01:01:01,799 because when we're born we don't have 1493 01:01:08,569 --> 01:01:05,940 the physiology to see colors it's just 1494 01:01:10,670 --> 01:01:08,579 those color cones are not developed 1495 01:01:12,770 --> 01:01:10,680 but we're able to perceive contrast so 1496 01:01:15,049 --> 01:01:12,780 we'll perceive the colors but we don't 1497 01:01:17,750 --> 01:01:15,059 see them sort of in this fullness but we 1498 01:01:20,510 --> 01:01:17,760 just see them as Grays and blacks and 1499 01:01:23,270 --> 01:01:20,520 whites that's it's shaded 1500 01:01:26,750 --> 01:01:23,280 and the rest is based on what the baby 1501 01:01:28,010 --> 01:01:26,760 is attracted to so for example I would 1502 01:01:30,589 --> 01:01:28,020 take a picture of large hydrogen 1503 01:01:34,370 --> 01:01:30,599 collider and just much 1504 01:01:36,289 --> 01:01:34,380 the intensity and frequency so the 1505 01:01:39,829 --> 01:01:36,299 thickness of the lines is what the baby 1506 01:01:42,349 --> 01:01:39,839 can see because we know how thin they 1507 01:01:44,329 --> 01:01:42,359 the line they can perceive and in fact 1508 01:01:45,230 --> 01:01:44,339 the point that the babies have blurred 1509 01:01:48,589 --> 01:01:45,240 vision 1510 01:01:52,130 --> 01:01:48,599 is not quite correct because the baby 1511 01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:52,140 can actually see your eyelashes how they 1512 01:01:56,150 --> 01:01:54,180 are separated you stay at the right 1513 01:01:57,890 --> 01:01:56,160 distance and the right distances are you 1514 01:01:59,990 --> 01:01:57,900 holding the baby breastfeeding or just 1515 01:02:02,390 --> 01:02:00,000 cuddling them to sleep it's that 1516 01:02:04,309 --> 01:02:02,400 distance that they need to be looking 1517 01:02:06,069 --> 01:02:04,319 into your eyes so you look into theirs 1518 01:02:08,390 --> 01:02:06,079 so it's about them making a connection 1519 01:02:11,329 --> 01:02:08,400 and that's the distance that they're 1520 01:02:14,750 --> 01:02:11,339 able to see very clearly 1521 01:02:17,210 --> 01:02:14,760 so the book is with large images the 1522 01:02:21,049 --> 01:02:17,220 size of our face because that's what 1523 01:02:24,109 --> 01:02:21,059 they're born intuitively to see and then 1524 01:02:25,970 --> 01:02:24,119 it's matching how thick and thin the 1525 01:02:28,130 --> 01:02:25,980 lines should be so they're able to see 1526 01:02:29,329 --> 01:02:28,140 so just looked for those type of 1527 01:02:30,829 --> 01:02:29,339 pictures and 1528 01:02:33,170 --> 01:02:30,839 change them 1529 01:02:36,230 --> 01:02:33,180 to the pattern that they're able to 1530 01:02:39,890 --> 01:02:36,240 perceive and so it is Meaningful so that 1531 01:02:42,170 --> 01:02:39,900 when they grow they're able to recognize 1532 01:02:45,049 --> 01:02:42,180 that in the world and what's interesting 1533 01:02:48,170 --> 01:02:45,059 that things that we're attracted to or 1534 01:02:51,410 --> 01:02:48,180 the babies are attracted to is what we 1535 01:02:55,010 --> 01:02:51,420 consider as adults beautiful 1536 01:02:56,150 --> 01:02:55,020 and these uh principles of golden 1537 01:02:58,609 --> 01:02:56,160 section 1538 01:03:00,289 --> 01:02:58,619 so it's where the nature is showing us 1539 01:03:05,210 --> 01:03:00,299 how to 1540 01:03:07,670 --> 01:03:05,220 successful designs of what we're 1541 01:03:10,309 --> 01:03:07,680 attracted to matches the golden section 1542 01:03:13,430 --> 01:03:10,319 proportions or there's an element of 1543 01:03:17,930 --> 01:03:13,440 flashy sequence so all of those elements 1544 01:03:19,309 --> 01:03:17,940 that are embedded in nature and a lot of 1545 01:03:21,710 --> 01:03:19,319 scientists have noticed this for 1546 01:03:23,870 --> 01:03:21,720 hundreds of years for thousands if you 1547 01:03:26,450 --> 01:03:23,880 go into ancient cultures that they would 1548 01:03:27,650 --> 01:03:26,460 show this actually to babies just in a 1549 01:03:30,109 --> 01:03:27,660 different way 1550 01:03:32,630 --> 01:03:30,119 so this is what the books are about is 1551 01:03:34,670 --> 01:03:32,640 transporting the baby to the world and 1552 01:03:36,890 --> 01:03:34,680 bringing them a microscope 1553 01:03:38,450 --> 01:03:36,900 type of perception so they could see 1554 01:03:41,390 --> 01:03:38,460 that the distance that they're able to 1555 01:03:43,910 --> 01:03:41,400 see and the intensity of color and 1556 01:03:46,789 --> 01:03:43,920 granularity that they're able to 1557 01:03:50,270 --> 01:03:46,799 perceive so it's just a conversion 1558 01:03:52,069 --> 01:03:50,280 of those things I want to show them or 1559 01:03:54,650 --> 01:03:52,079 any parent want to show them 1560 01:03:56,930 --> 01:03:54,660 it's like translating into their own 1561 01:03:59,390 --> 01:03:56,940 visual perception 1562 01:04:02,329 --> 01:03:59,400 so for babies who are being exposed to 1563 01:04:05,390 --> 01:04:02,339 these kinds of images in this kind of 1564 01:04:08,510 --> 01:04:05,400 communication how do you expect that to 1565 01:04:10,730 --> 01:04:08,520 change the way that they communicate and 1566 01:04:13,010 --> 01:04:10,740 view the world moving forward how do you 1567 01:04:15,349 --> 01:04:13,020 see this developing in the long term so 1568 01:04:19,010 --> 01:04:15,359 there's another part to this images 1569 01:04:21,370 --> 01:04:19,020 there is a sound as well so I've done 1570 01:04:25,609 --> 01:04:21,380 kind of small experiments it's making 1571 01:04:30,770 --> 01:04:25,619 small steps as I'm progressing and what 1572 01:04:33,230 --> 01:04:30,780 I saw that the sound that is surrounding 1573 01:04:36,230 --> 01:04:33,240 us has also patents 1574 01:04:37,970 --> 01:04:36,240 and again I'm not a person to press to 1575 01:04:39,829 --> 01:04:37,980 talk about this or identify it's just 1576 01:04:42,049 --> 01:04:39,839 I'm interested in the relevance of how 1577 01:04:44,930 --> 01:04:42,059 can we communicate this to a new 1578 01:04:47,930 --> 01:04:44,940 generation and make it their language 1579 01:04:51,289 --> 01:04:47,940 so what I've noticed what I've read in 1580 01:04:54,170 --> 01:04:51,299 science is that babies are able to do 1581 01:04:56,410 --> 01:04:54,180 statistical analysis like proper 1582 01:04:59,690 --> 01:04:56,420 difficult mathematical probability 1583 01:05:02,270 --> 01:04:59,700 analysis or predicting the type of 1584 01:05:05,890 --> 01:05:02,280 language structure that they'd been 1585 01:05:08,990 --> 01:05:05,900 exposed to and so they're able to 1586 01:05:12,650 --> 01:05:09,000 comprehend of what comes before or after 1587 01:05:14,150 --> 01:05:12,660 so this is what jtpi now open AI kind of 1588 01:05:16,549 --> 01:05:14,160 was talking about 1589 01:05:17,870 --> 01:05:16,559 is that you can understand the language 1590 01:05:19,970 --> 01:05:17,880 without 1591 01:05:22,010 --> 01:05:19,980 by understanding its structure what 1592 01:05:24,109 --> 01:05:22,020 comes before and after 1593 01:05:25,730 --> 01:05:24,119 and this is yet one more leap that we 1594 01:05:28,190 --> 01:05:25,740 haven't done investigating in babies 1595 01:05:31,250 --> 01:05:28,200 because we need to be invented right or 1596 01:05:33,589 --> 01:05:31,260 how can we study babies perception of 1597 01:05:36,530 --> 01:05:33,599 you know language which is yet another 1598 01:05:37,849 --> 01:05:36,540 barrier of how could you understand what 1599 01:05:39,470 --> 01:05:37,859 they're grasping and what they're not 1600 01:05:42,710 --> 01:05:39,480 and there's some clever scientists 1601 01:05:45,170 --> 01:05:42,720 who've designed experiments to show that 1602 01:05:47,390 --> 01:05:45,180 at about between six and nine months the 1603 01:05:49,010 --> 01:05:47,400 window from birth so six at nine months 1604 01:05:51,490 --> 01:05:49,020 so they're in the first within the first 1605 01:05:55,730 --> 01:05:51,500 year the baby 1606 01:05:58,910 --> 01:05:55,740 adapts a particular model of what the 1607 01:06:01,490 --> 01:05:58,920 language is and beyond that it becomes 1608 01:06:03,170 --> 01:06:01,500 a basement you know like in the building 1609 01:06:05,089 --> 01:06:03,180 there's a basement that the whole 1610 01:06:08,510 --> 01:06:05,099 structure is built I mean I prefer to 1611 01:06:10,910 --> 01:06:08,520 talk about it like a map of the city 1612 01:06:12,589 --> 01:06:10,920 so they've networked how you would 1613 01:06:15,710 --> 01:06:12,599 navigate the city if you take a language 1614 01:06:18,410 --> 01:06:15,720 as a city then how do you navigate all 1615 01:06:20,809 --> 01:06:18,420 those roles of switching getting it from 1616 01:06:24,289 --> 01:06:20,819 one end of the town to another and what 1617 01:06:27,710 --> 01:06:24,299 transport you would use or do you go 1618 01:06:30,410 --> 01:06:27,720 by train or by bus or do you walk or do 1619 01:06:32,630 --> 01:06:30,420 you take shortcuts and once that map 1620 01:06:34,670 --> 01:06:32,640 laid down then if you come in with a 1621 01:06:37,670 --> 01:06:34,680 different language or a different way of 1622 01:06:40,430 --> 01:06:37,680 communicating you have to do 1623 01:06:42,230 --> 01:06:40,440 you have to break houses you have to 1624 01:06:45,349 --> 01:06:42,240 reconstruct the roads you have to 1625 01:06:48,170 --> 01:06:45,359 reconstruct the transportation system or 1626 01:06:50,029 --> 01:06:48,180 you even have to do a circular right 1627 01:06:52,430 --> 01:06:50,039 round the city to get to the other side 1628 01:06:56,270 --> 01:06:52,440 quicker and that's what happens in the 1629 01:06:57,890 --> 01:06:56,280 baby's brain so by nine months we've in 1630 01:06:59,630 --> 01:06:57,900 a way lost it I mean of course we can 1631 01:07:01,549 --> 01:06:59,640 learn a language later nobody denies 1632 01:07:03,049 --> 01:07:01,559 that but it's just what effort and how 1633 01:07:05,630 --> 01:07:03,059 fundamental it is 1634 01:07:08,630 --> 01:07:05,640 and what we do find out is that babies 1635 01:07:12,410 --> 01:07:08,640 can learn any language so for example a 1636 01:07:13,250 --> 01:07:12,420 Japanese baby is born in England yeah in 1637 01:07:16,190 --> 01:07:13,260 their 1638 01:07:18,829 --> 01:07:16,200 exposed to both English and Japanese and 1639 01:07:21,410 --> 01:07:18,839 they would be able to perceive or in 1640 01:07:23,270 --> 01:07:21,420 terms of audio a language to the the 1641 01:07:25,250 --> 01:07:23,280 letter L 1642 01:07:26,710 --> 01:07:25,260 and they'll be able to hear it and also 1643 01:07:29,809 --> 01:07:26,720 speak about it and the same is actually 1644 01:07:32,569 --> 01:07:29,819 for Chinese language but if they're born 1645 01:07:34,910 --> 01:07:32,579 in China or in Japan and they have never 1646 01:07:38,750 --> 01:07:34,920 been exposed to these sounds elsewhere 1647 01:07:40,370 --> 01:07:38,760 they're actually unable not only to hear 1648 01:07:42,289 --> 01:07:40,380 them but they and because they can't 1649 01:07:43,069 --> 01:07:42,299 hear them they guess you can't pronounce 1650 01:07:45,230 --> 01:07:43,079 them 1651 01:07:48,829 --> 01:07:45,240 which is interesting and this is just 1652 01:07:50,510 --> 01:07:48,839 one example of how this would reflect so 1653 01:07:52,910 --> 01:07:50,520 you are just you're losing the 1654 01:07:54,890 --> 01:07:52,920 sensitivity to particular sounds and 1655 01:07:57,950 --> 01:07:54,900 you're unable to hear them 1656 01:08:00,770 --> 01:07:57,960 and also as babies develop or as babies 1657 01:08:02,210 --> 01:08:00,780 we can hear different frequency as we 1658 01:08:04,970 --> 01:08:02,220 become adults 1659 01:08:06,890 --> 01:08:04,980 so we are our ability to absorb the 1660 01:08:11,089 --> 01:08:06,900 types of frequency decreases as we get 1661 01:08:14,329 --> 01:08:11,099 older but my view my perception is that 1662 01:08:15,829 --> 01:08:14,339 if language restricts us so this is my 1663 01:08:19,370 --> 01:08:15,839 kind of questions that I want to 1664 01:08:22,430 --> 01:08:19,380 investigate further that if we're able 1665 01:08:24,050 --> 01:08:22,440 to leave it open or wide this perception 1666 01:08:26,450 --> 01:08:24,060 of frequencies and continuously 1667 01:08:29,150 --> 01:08:26,460 stimulate this Pathways just like it was 1668 01:08:31,970 --> 01:08:29,160 in Native or cultures that live among 1669 01:08:33,349 --> 01:08:31,980 nature and we do know they have a better 1670 01:08:36,169 --> 01:08:33,359 hearing and perception and 1671 01:08:38,510 --> 01:08:36,179 differentiation of species than we do in 1672 01:08:40,309 --> 01:08:38,520 the city and in fact some words can't 1673 01:08:44,030 --> 01:08:40,319 even hear when somebody says did you 1674 01:08:46,269 --> 01:08:44,040 hear that if we go to a particular 1675 01:08:49,669 --> 01:08:46,279 location in nature and we're just unable 1676 01:08:51,950 --> 01:08:49,679 to hear some insects or some frogs or 1677 01:08:53,990 --> 01:08:51,960 some frequencies but native cultures are 1678 01:08:54,890 --> 01:08:54,000 able to they can tell a lot what that 1679 01:08:57,349 --> 01:08:54,900 means 1680 01:09:00,169 --> 01:08:57,359 and it is another language so this is 1681 01:09:02,630 --> 01:09:00,179 where I thought that if we could and I 1682 01:09:04,430 --> 01:09:02,640 have very good Concepts I think that I'm 1683 01:09:06,769 --> 01:09:04,440 grasping at the moment and trying to 1684 01:09:08,689 --> 01:09:06,779 make them physical on how can we 1685 01:09:12,050 --> 01:09:08,699 introduce this type of language through 1686 01:09:14,150 --> 01:09:12,060 sound and image to the babies and that 1687 01:09:16,189 --> 01:09:14,160 becomes the language of its own and then 1688 01:09:18,470 --> 01:09:16,199 if we tie this back into what we're 1689 01:09:20,150 --> 01:09:18,480 talking about that people connect easily 1690 01:09:21,530 --> 01:09:20,160 when they have the same language or 1691 01:09:24,530 --> 01:09:21,540 culture 1692 01:09:27,829 --> 01:09:24,540 it's that if you can imagine the person 1693 01:09:29,450 --> 01:09:27,839 from Australia for example and Canada or 1694 01:09:31,849 --> 01:09:29,460 they have similar language but let's see 1695 01:09:34,430 --> 01:09:31,859 we take Portuguese and someone from 1696 01:09:36,349 --> 01:09:34,440 Vietnam right in principle they're in 1697 01:09:39,050 --> 01:09:36,359 such different places and they're on 1698 01:09:41,809 --> 01:09:39,060 different side of equator and yet when 1699 01:09:43,249 --> 01:09:41,819 they would come to the forest and do you 1700 01:09:46,189 --> 01:09:43,259 know that frogs are all over the planet 1701 01:09:48,650 --> 01:09:46,199 and crickets are all over the planet but 1702 01:09:50,570 --> 01:09:48,660 there's so many species of those and if 1703 01:09:51,470 --> 01:09:50,580 you're able to hear that and so I 1704 01:09:54,590 --> 01:09:51,480 personally 1705 01:09:56,030 --> 01:09:54,600 when I hear crickets it Associates with 1706 01:09:58,189 --> 01:09:56,040 me with a particular good feeling 1707 01:10:01,010 --> 01:09:58,199 because I had really good experience 1708 01:10:03,350 --> 01:10:01,020 with listening to crickets as I was 1709 01:10:04,970 --> 01:10:03,360 living in Cyprus and it just you 1710 01:10:06,650 --> 01:10:04,980 suddenly get immersed into this it's 1711 01:10:09,530 --> 01:10:06,660 sort of like a cradle 1712 01:10:11,090 --> 01:10:09,540 you know music but everything is all 1713 01:10:13,850 --> 01:10:11,100 right and everything is stable because 1714 01:10:17,330 --> 01:10:13,860 crickets actually stop their noise if 1715 01:10:18,950 --> 01:10:17,340 there is something inconvenient to them 1716 01:10:20,750 --> 01:10:18,960 or something that's bad for them and 1717 01:10:22,850 --> 01:10:20,760 that's what Native cultures tune in it's 1718 01:10:25,430 --> 01:10:22,860 just like one species stop speaking 1719 01:10:27,290 --> 01:10:25,440 there's a disturbance in the field 1720 01:10:29,510 --> 01:10:27,300 and it's an information it's a language 1721 01:10:32,149 --> 01:10:29,520 but I'm talking deeper than that I'm 1722 01:10:34,510 --> 01:10:32,159 talking about literally understanding 1723 01:10:36,770 --> 01:10:34,520 because a cold cricket 1724 01:10:38,209 --> 01:10:36,780 sounds differently to a worm Cricket 1725 01:10:40,550 --> 01:10:38,219 apparently 1726 01:10:43,189 --> 01:10:40,560 and even if you've never heard a cricket 1727 01:10:44,750 --> 01:10:43,199 before and you would hear those two 1728 01:10:46,729 --> 01:10:44,760 different recordings you will understand 1729 01:10:49,370 --> 01:10:46,739 that that's a cool cricket 1730 01:10:51,770 --> 01:10:49,380 and this is a cricket that is quite warm 1731 01:10:53,990 --> 01:10:51,780 and that's interesting and I think why 1732 01:10:57,590 --> 01:10:54,000 should we desensitize children or not 1733 01:10:59,810 --> 01:10:57,600 exposed to this early when so ancient 1734 01:11:02,630 --> 01:10:59,820 cultures and Native cultures we have 1735 01:11:05,870 --> 01:11:02,640 been exposed and I think that's a new 1736 01:11:08,930 --> 01:11:05,880 way of connecting us as a single 1737 01:11:10,850 --> 01:11:08,940 organism on Earth is to hear those other 1738 01:11:13,130 --> 01:11:10,860 species that have been connecting us for 1739 01:11:16,010 --> 01:11:13,140 generations and only recently we stopped 1740 01:11:17,390 --> 01:11:16,020 hearing that there's a modern society 1741 01:11:19,490 --> 01:11:17,400 wow 1742 01:11:22,189 --> 01:11:19,500 something that I'm so struck by 1743 01:11:23,630 --> 01:11:22,199 listening to you talk is that it seems 1744 01:11:25,490 --> 01:11:23,640 like and you can correct me if I'm wrong 1745 01:11:27,590 --> 01:11:25,500 but it seems like it would be very easy 1746 01:11:29,410 --> 01:11:27,600 for and perhaps this is exactly what's 1747 01:11:33,050 --> 01:11:29,420 happened to us it'd be very easy to lose 1748 01:11:36,050 --> 01:11:33,060 large swaths of meaning and potentially 1749 01:11:37,729 --> 01:11:36,060 even capabilities like human 1750 01:11:40,729 --> 01:11:37,739 capabilities in just a couple of 1751 01:11:43,010 --> 01:11:40,739 generations simply by cutting ourselves 1752 01:11:44,630 --> 01:11:43,020 off from our environment am I 1753 01:11:46,130 --> 01:11:44,640 understanding that correctly is that how 1754 01:11:49,430 --> 01:11:46,140 you view it 1755 01:11:52,850 --> 01:11:49,440 yes so another research that I come 1756 01:11:54,669 --> 01:11:52,860 across that is important for us to be 1757 01:11:58,490 --> 01:11:54,679 aware there's a condition called 1758 01:12:01,250 --> 01:11:58,500 synesthesia and synesthesia is when we 1759 01:12:04,370 --> 01:12:01,260 experience inputs through one sense for 1760 01:12:07,370 --> 01:12:04,380 example straw hearing but in the brain 1761 01:12:09,169 --> 01:12:07,380 there is an image being formed in the 1762 01:12:12,050 --> 01:12:09,179 visual field so 1763 01:12:13,850 --> 01:12:12,060 or some musicians see music and color so 1764 01:12:16,850 --> 01:12:13,860 that would be one form of synesthesia 1765 01:12:19,370 --> 01:12:16,860 and if you take as many perceptual 1766 01:12:21,950 --> 01:12:19,380 senses as we have and there is cross 1767 01:12:24,890 --> 01:12:21,960 connections in different individuals it 1768 01:12:27,070 --> 01:12:24,900 is science sort of at the moment reports 1769 01:12:30,410 --> 01:12:27,080 that about four percent of population 1770 01:12:32,270 --> 01:12:30,420 this is comes through if you wish but 1771 01:12:35,510 --> 01:12:32,280 also what's interesting is that as 1772 01:12:39,530 --> 01:12:35,520 babies we are all synesthetes so we all 1773 01:12:42,050 --> 01:12:39,540 have the ability to wire one sense to 1774 01:12:45,770 --> 01:12:42,060 another so for example if the person is 1775 01:12:49,610 --> 01:12:45,780 born blind congenitally blind they're 1776 01:12:52,010 --> 01:12:49,620 able to utilize other senses that they 1777 01:12:55,850 --> 01:12:52,020 otherwise the visual cortex would map to 1778 01:12:58,850 --> 01:12:55,860 but equally if the baby is for example 1779 01:13:01,070 --> 01:12:58,860 exposed to cross-sensory modality and it 1780 01:13:05,270 --> 01:13:01,080 remains through their life so for 1781 01:13:07,850 --> 01:13:05,280 example maybe the this is my theoretical 1782 01:13:10,850 --> 01:13:07,860 so this is not to say that the science 1783 01:13:13,490 --> 01:13:10,860 already knows this right but what we do 1784 01:13:16,010 --> 01:13:13,500 know is that cine States who have this 1785 01:13:17,810 --> 01:13:16,020 ability they are much better in 1786 01:13:19,970 --> 01:13:17,820 linguistic ability 1787 01:13:21,410 --> 01:13:19,980 they're much better problem solvers they 1788 01:13:24,470 --> 01:13:21,420 have better memory 1789 01:13:26,510 --> 01:13:24,480 and they connect information in the way 1790 01:13:29,390 --> 01:13:26,520 that people who do not have synesthesia 1791 01:13:32,810 --> 01:13:29,400 they problem solve in a novel way in a 1792 01:13:34,430 --> 01:13:32,820 very creative way because in so it's 1793 01:13:36,709 --> 01:13:34,440 like they're using different type of 1794 01:13:38,810 --> 01:13:36,719 resources that are available to them so 1795 01:13:40,790 --> 01:13:38,820 it's always like using one tool or you 1796 01:13:43,189 --> 01:13:40,800 have six to choose from how do you 1797 01:13:45,410 --> 01:13:43,199 connect information and synesthetes 1798 01:13:48,530 --> 01:13:45,420 because of this cross model connection 1799 01:13:50,510 --> 01:13:48,540 between sensors they're able to 1800 01:13:52,430 --> 01:13:50,520 visualize information differently they 1801 01:13:56,630 --> 01:13:52,440 have many more cues 1802 01:13:58,250 --> 01:13:56,640 so I'm just writing a chapter about this 1803 01:14:01,370 --> 01:13:58,260 aspect of synesthesia and how it could 1804 01:14:04,250 --> 01:14:01,380 be helpful if it is if there's a way to 1805 01:14:06,530 --> 01:14:04,260 retain it if we all have it 1806 01:14:07,790 --> 01:14:06,540 got emotional listening just now is like 1807 01:14:09,770 --> 01:14:07,800 wow 1808 01:14:12,590 --> 01:14:09,780 that's really I mean seriously I think 1809 01:14:14,930 --> 01:14:12,600 what you're doing IA is 1810 01:14:17,570 --> 01:14:14,940 seriously helping humans survive what's 1811 01:14:19,630 --> 01:14:17,580 going on now into the future I think 1812 01:14:22,970 --> 01:14:19,640 this work is so 1813 01:14:24,649 --> 01:14:22,980 necessary I completely agree I think the 1814 01:14:28,669 --> 01:14:24,659 ideas are so important 1815 01:14:31,850 --> 01:14:28,679 yeah I feel like part of my job is so I 1816 01:14:33,770 --> 01:14:31,860 meet people like IA and Tyler right and 1817 01:14:35,570 --> 01:14:33,780 he was so Innovative and so on The 1818 01:14:37,490 --> 01:14:35,580 Cutting Edge that most people couldn't 1819 01:14:39,410 --> 01:14:37,500 even understand what he was doing you 1820 01:14:42,470 --> 01:14:39,420 know and I feel like he is one of these 1821 01:14:47,870 --> 01:14:42,480 people she's so she's so in this doing 1822 01:14:50,630 --> 01:14:47,880 what nobody's doing nobody's done and so 1823 01:14:52,370 --> 01:14:50,640 it's our job to kind of translate her 1824 01:14:54,649 --> 01:14:52,380 what she's doing because it's so 1825 01:14:56,870 --> 01:14:54,659 necessary for us too and I think that's 1826 01:14:59,209 --> 01:14:56,880 like Edgar Mitchell you know those 1827 01:15:01,370 --> 01:14:59,219 people on the very Cutting Edge of our 1828 01:15:04,070 --> 01:15:01,380 science oftentimes they're not even 1829 01:15:08,450 --> 01:15:04,080 understood in their time and we can't 1830 01:15:11,350 --> 01:15:08,460 afford that right now yes so Diana 1831 01:15:15,290 --> 01:15:11,360 you're absolutely right and equally so 1832 01:15:16,970 --> 01:15:15,300 we uh unable to do this on our own 1833 01:15:20,689 --> 01:15:16,980 yeah that's the thing 1834 01:15:23,450 --> 01:15:20,699 so it's about forging the connections 1835 01:15:26,149 --> 01:15:23,460 and because Justice in accident 1836 01:15:29,510 --> 01:15:26,159 investigation right in creating or 1837 01:15:32,090 --> 01:15:29,520 reporting culture it's all expertise are 1838 01:15:35,149 --> 01:15:32,100 necessary there isn't one single person 1839 01:15:36,470 --> 01:15:35,159 who can achieve something substantial or 1840 01:15:38,870 --> 01:15:36,480 impactful 1841 01:15:41,450 --> 01:15:38,880 I am building my work on the research 1842 01:15:44,330 --> 01:15:41,460 that has been done right and I 1843 01:15:46,729 --> 01:15:44,340 absolutely need people who are good at 1844 01:15:49,370 --> 01:15:46,739 what they do and how they can contribute 1845 01:15:53,330 --> 01:15:49,380 in the same way I am unable to do this 1846 01:15:55,870 --> 01:15:53,340 on my own I can only initiate I can only 1847 01:15:58,550 --> 01:15:55,880 bring Concepts together I can 1848 01:16:00,770 --> 01:15:58,560 communicate about that and see what 1849 01:16:03,350 --> 01:16:00,780 resonates what have I missed because 1850 01:16:06,470 --> 01:16:03,360 there must be holes in what I'm doing 1851 01:16:10,130 --> 01:16:06,480 and it's about other people who are able 1852 01:16:12,709 --> 01:16:10,140 to meet that specific path then it 1853 01:16:15,890 --> 01:16:12,719 becomes something meaningful and useful 1854 01:16:18,530 --> 01:16:15,900 because just as an engineer designing a 1855 01:16:20,209 --> 01:16:18,540 cockpit for a pilot they cannot flights 1856 01:16:22,010 --> 01:16:20,219 unless they speak to the pilot and 1857 01:16:24,649 --> 01:16:22,020 understand what they need 1858 01:16:27,530 --> 01:16:24,659 so that's the same concept so I'm very 1859 01:16:29,930 --> 01:16:27,540 aware that this is one perspective that 1860 01:16:31,850 --> 01:16:29,940 I share one perspective and there needs 1861 01:16:33,890 --> 01:16:31,860 to be many perspectives this overview 1862 01:16:36,530 --> 01:16:33,900 effect again coming back to what we 1863 01:16:39,410 --> 01:16:36,540 talked before is that all perspectives 1864 01:16:42,709 --> 01:16:39,420 are valid and there's many things I'm 1865 01:16:45,250 --> 01:16:42,719 not seeing so we need to look at this 1866 01:16:47,570 --> 01:16:45,260 innocence from many directions 1867 01:16:48,830 --> 01:16:47,580 otherwise I'm unable to see the full 1868 01:16:52,010 --> 01:16:48,840 picture 1869 01:16:54,709 --> 01:16:52,020 and so I am on the lookout and also 1870 01:16:56,990 --> 01:16:54,719 welcome the input of other individuals 1871 01:16:59,169 --> 01:16:57,000 on what they might contribute and how 1872 01:17:03,010 --> 01:16:59,179 can this be taken forward 1873 01:17:06,530 --> 01:17:03,020 I bought the book I bought your book for 1874 01:17:09,050 --> 01:17:06,540 my friend who has a new baby 1875 01:17:10,430 --> 01:17:09,060 and before I gave it to him I was 1876 01:17:14,390 --> 01:17:10,440 slipping through it and my daughter 1877 01:17:16,370 --> 01:17:14,400 who's 14 came into the room and asked me 1878 01:17:17,930 --> 01:17:16,380 what I was looking at and so I said oh 1879 01:17:19,669 --> 01:17:17,940 here you can look at this and then I was 1880 01:17:21,590 --> 01:17:19,679 doing something else and then when I 1881 01:17:24,169 --> 01:17:21,600 looked at her she read the whole thing 1882 01:17:27,050 --> 01:17:24,179 she read it for hours 1883 01:17:29,990 --> 01:17:27,060 yeah this is it so the idea is that the 1884 01:17:32,450 --> 01:17:30,000 book is shared in the family and I think 1885 01:17:35,750 --> 01:17:32,460 that sharing is so vital 1886 01:17:38,270 --> 01:17:35,760 because if a sibling can pick up and 1887 01:17:41,270 --> 01:17:38,280 read the book with the younger child 1888 01:17:44,930 --> 01:17:41,280 and I think the information and the 1889 01:17:47,330 --> 01:17:44,940 tools should be accessible at all ages 1890 01:17:49,490 --> 01:17:47,340 it's just that it's the level that we're 1891 01:17:52,669 --> 01:17:49,500 able to absorb it it's the same thing so 1892 01:17:55,669 --> 01:17:52,679 with the language of nature or the Earth 1893 01:17:57,169 --> 01:17:55,679 language there's many levels so for 1894 01:17:59,030 --> 01:17:57,179 example I could be standing with a 1895 01:18:02,030 --> 01:17:59,040 native person who lives in that 1896 01:18:03,410 --> 01:18:02,040 particular floor and fauna and I would 1897 01:18:05,270 --> 01:18:03,420 hear one thing but that they hear 1898 01:18:08,090 --> 01:18:05,280 something else and I could learn from 1899 01:18:11,030 --> 01:18:08,100 them of what they're hearing and yet 1900 01:18:12,709 --> 01:18:11,040 when we come both to a city I could tell 1901 01:18:15,169 --> 01:18:12,719 them a lot about the sounds that they 1902 01:18:17,630 --> 01:18:15,179 would not be able to anticipate or aware 1903 01:18:19,610 --> 01:18:17,640 will be overwhelming for them they 1904 01:18:22,370 --> 01:18:19,620 wouldn't be able even to hold it some 1905 01:18:24,530 --> 01:18:22,380 people can't sleep with other noises 1906 01:18:27,169 --> 01:18:24,540 because it actually has physiological 1907 01:18:29,390 --> 01:18:27,179 chemical reactions in the body that they 1908 01:18:32,330 --> 01:18:29,400 are unable to control it's the response 1909 01:18:36,350 --> 01:18:32,340 to sound and we now know so there is a 1910 01:18:38,870 --> 01:18:36,360 scientist Professor Karen Becker that is 1911 01:18:40,610 --> 01:18:38,880 written released a book I think it's 1912 01:18:42,169 --> 01:18:40,620 called 1913 01:18:45,470 --> 01:18:42,179 the 1914 01:18:49,669 --> 01:18:45,480 sound of life or life of sound and she 1915 01:18:52,490 --> 01:18:49,679 talks about research in the cities that 1916 01:18:55,310 --> 01:18:52,500 how sound affects and disrupts our 1917 01:18:57,350 --> 01:18:55,320 health and there are now 1918 01:18:59,330 --> 01:18:57,360 and not just speed cameras or like 1919 01:19:03,110 --> 01:18:59,340 cameras that watch but there is also 1920 01:19:05,630 --> 01:19:03,120 sound cameras that is the detecting the 1921 01:19:08,510 --> 01:19:05,640 sound that could be harmful to us and 1922 01:19:11,750 --> 01:19:08,520 then as just as we have find for us 1923 01:19:14,810 --> 01:19:11,760 speeding this would be also implications 1924 01:19:16,669 --> 01:19:14,820 of what sound we make and then that what 1925 01:19:18,470 --> 01:19:16,679 effect it has on us and you could also 1926 01:19:21,530 --> 01:19:18,480 get fines 1927 01:19:23,510 --> 01:19:21,540 so it's equally disturbing just as their 1928 01:19:26,450 --> 01:19:23,520 car speeding and could hit somebody the 1929 01:19:27,470 --> 01:19:26,460 sound has an impact on our well-being a 1930 01:19:29,450 --> 01:19:27,480 strong one 1931 01:19:32,689 --> 01:19:29,460 mm-hmm 1932 01:19:35,930 --> 01:19:32,699 so am I understanding this correctly in 1933 01:19:38,030 --> 01:19:35,940 saying that as opposed to creating this 1934 01:19:40,189 --> 01:19:38,040 language you're sort of discovering it 1935 01:19:43,250 --> 01:19:40,199 is that a correct way to represent what 1936 01:19:47,990 --> 01:19:43,260 you're doing I feel that it's already 1937 01:19:51,950 --> 01:19:48,000 available there and I think it's how do 1938 01:19:54,830 --> 01:19:51,960 we how much of it do we transcribe you 1939 01:19:57,709 --> 01:19:54,840 know how many dictionaries do we make 1940 01:20:00,590 --> 01:19:57,719 because I feel it's always been 1941 01:20:02,870 --> 01:20:00,600 available it's just are we able to 1942 01:20:04,729 --> 01:20:02,880 articulate it so this is coming back to 1943 01:20:06,169 --> 01:20:04,739 what I was talking about professional 1944 01:20:08,810 --> 01:20:06,179 intuition 1945 01:20:11,870 --> 01:20:08,820 so if you go to a native person who 1946 01:20:14,030 --> 01:20:11,880 lives in nature for them and need a 1947 01:20:16,850 --> 01:20:14,040 dictionary right they just understand it 1948 01:20:19,669 --> 01:20:16,860 but they can't articulate it why they 1949 01:20:22,070 --> 01:20:19,679 suddenly feel very wary 1950 01:20:24,590 --> 01:20:22,080 they may be able to articulate that and 1951 01:20:27,169 --> 01:20:24,600 often they can but sometimes they get 1952 01:20:28,510 --> 01:20:27,179 this feeling and only then they could 1953 01:20:31,130 --> 01:20:28,520 speak 1954 01:20:33,770 --> 01:20:31,140 retrospectively about what that was 1955 01:20:36,050 --> 01:20:33,780 and this is exactly what surgeons do 1956 01:20:38,510 --> 01:20:36,060 right when they are articulating 1957 01:20:39,649 --> 01:20:38,520 something when they are watching the 1958 01:20:42,110 --> 01:20:39,659 footage 1959 01:20:44,450 --> 01:20:42,120 and when they're telling somebody else 1960 01:20:46,910 --> 01:20:44,460 what they were doing they will tell it 1961 01:20:48,590 --> 01:20:46,920 through a different lens so once they 1962 01:20:50,870 --> 01:20:48,600 are explaining what they're doing to a 1963 01:20:53,090 --> 01:20:50,880 student or to another medical younger 1964 01:20:55,550 --> 01:20:53,100 professional they will talk about and 1965 01:20:58,130 --> 01:20:55,560 also do different actions you know so 1966 01:20:59,689 --> 01:20:58,140 the consequences of their actions would 1967 01:21:01,729 --> 01:20:59,699 be different when they're explicating 1968 01:21:04,130 --> 01:21:01,739 and teaching to somebody else 1969 01:21:05,750 --> 01:21:04,140 versus when they're themselves in the 1970 01:21:07,550 --> 01:21:05,760 process and doing something they will 1971 01:21:10,910 --> 01:21:07,560 actually act and do things differently 1972 01:21:14,630 --> 01:21:10,920 and they would not be able to explain it 1973 01:21:16,610 --> 01:21:14,640 but if this was done in silence for 1974 01:21:19,430 --> 01:21:16,620 example and the student was there 1975 01:21:20,930 --> 01:21:19,440 so this is the third scenario and they 1976 01:21:23,149 --> 01:21:20,940 will stop the surgery and the student 1977 01:21:24,709 --> 01:21:23,159 would ask them why did you do that this 1978 01:21:26,630 --> 01:21:24,719 is not by the book 1979 01:21:29,330 --> 01:21:26,640 they will actually give you the answer 1980 01:21:31,070 --> 01:21:29,340 that was not necessarily why they make 1981 01:21:34,130 --> 01:21:31,080 that decision in that way 1982 01:21:36,290 --> 01:21:34,140 because they will put on the filter to 1983 01:21:38,450 --> 01:21:36,300 tell you what would they be not punished 1984 01:21:41,510 --> 01:21:38,460 for or what would they think would make 1985 01:21:43,490 --> 01:21:41,520 sense given the knowledge that they 1986 01:21:46,910 --> 01:21:43,500 think the student would know 1987 01:21:49,330 --> 01:21:46,920 so and in all of those aspects we were 1988 01:21:51,649 --> 01:21:49,340 influenced in our 1989 01:21:54,169 --> 01:21:51,659 interpretation of the environment and 1990 01:21:57,470 --> 01:21:54,179 inputs so like a language 1991 01:22:01,070 --> 01:21:57,480 so in the same way if you are in the 1992 01:22:03,110 --> 01:22:01,080 native environment you know this you may 1993 01:22:05,030 --> 01:22:03,120 understand or not understand or act or 1994 01:22:07,250 --> 01:22:05,040 not act in a certain way 1995 01:22:09,169 --> 01:22:07,260 depending on who is around you so we all 1996 01:22:10,370 --> 01:22:09,179 affect each other and it's important to 1997 01:22:13,610 --> 01:22:10,380 understand 1998 01:22:16,130 --> 01:22:13,620 as much as we can I guess 1999 01:22:19,370 --> 01:22:16,140 but we can filter through our perceptual 2000 01:22:21,470 --> 01:22:19,380 senses and I just want to expand that 2001 01:22:23,450 --> 01:22:21,480 palette because our brain is able to 2002 01:22:27,770 --> 01:22:23,460 perceive more with every generation 2003 01:22:29,330 --> 01:22:27,780 because we are evolving species and look 2004 01:22:33,830 --> 01:22:29,340 at how much informational can process 2005 01:22:36,290 --> 01:22:33,840 Now versus just half a generation away 2006 01:22:39,950 --> 01:22:36,300 but you know that that generation is 2007 01:22:41,890 --> 01:22:39,960 just unable to take in as much as you 2008 01:22:44,510 --> 01:22:41,900 know generation born five years later 2009 01:22:47,390 --> 01:22:44,520 it's that big Elite 2010 01:22:49,669 --> 01:22:47,400 so why not use that capacity for the 2011 01:22:51,669 --> 01:22:49,679 benefit you know why not use that 2012 01:22:55,490 --> 01:22:51,679 capacity to make a better connection 2013 01:22:59,390 --> 01:22:55,500 neurally and culturally and humanely 2014 01:23:01,790 --> 01:22:59,400 with more humility I question yeah that 2015 01:23:03,830 --> 01:23:01,800 I never got to ask you where I think I 2016 01:23:06,830 --> 01:23:03,840 did but I wanted to ask you further 2017 01:23:08,649 --> 01:23:06,840 about it and it's this idea that you 2018 01:23:12,110 --> 01:23:08,659 intuitively 2019 01:23:14,209 --> 01:23:12,120 decided to use traditional songs 2020 01:23:17,930 --> 01:23:14,219 as well as 2021 01:23:20,390 --> 01:23:17,940 sounds from insects and forests and 2022 01:23:24,350 --> 01:23:20,400 things like that and whales even can you 2023 01:23:26,870 --> 01:23:24,360 explain why you chose traditional songs 2024 01:23:29,030 --> 01:23:26,880 so this is all still in the play and 2025 01:23:31,310 --> 01:23:29,040 still in development and as I said you 2026 01:23:33,950 --> 01:23:31,320 know I can't forge the soul alone I 2027 01:23:36,709 --> 01:23:33,960 really want collaboration and people 2028 01:23:40,550 --> 01:23:36,719 with their skills that I don't have but 2029 01:23:44,149 --> 01:23:40,560 the nature of songs native songs is 2030 01:23:47,689 --> 01:23:44,159 because sometimes we underestimate the 2031 01:23:51,169 --> 01:23:47,699 meaning of so I forgot the word for it 2032 01:23:53,510 --> 01:23:51,179 in English so it's the songs that you 2033 01:23:57,550 --> 01:23:53,520 know you will sing to children in the 2034 01:24:00,890 --> 01:23:57,560 night lullaby London by yeah okay 2035 01:24:04,010 --> 01:24:00,900 so the reason I was looking into a 2036 01:24:06,430 --> 01:24:04,020 lullaby specifically from different 2037 01:24:09,590 --> 01:24:06,440 cultures is because there is an element 2038 01:24:11,630 --> 01:24:09,600 that they evolved over time and I think 2039 01:24:13,550 --> 01:24:11,640 there's a much closer connection they to 2040 01:24:15,770 --> 01:24:13,560 Nature because actually a lot of 2041 01:24:19,310 --> 01:24:15,780 lullabies actually do have animals and 2042 01:24:23,270 --> 01:24:19,320 do have seasons and do have vocabulary 2043 01:24:25,610 --> 01:24:23,280 about nature our environment and if you 2044 01:24:27,850 --> 01:24:25,620 would listen to traditional lullabies 2045 01:24:30,649 --> 01:24:27,860 you will see that they are associating 2046 01:24:32,870 --> 01:24:30,659 and kind of relaxing us in this 2047 01:24:35,030 --> 01:24:32,880 particular pattern there is a pattern to 2048 01:24:37,990 --> 01:24:35,040 singing to the voice and Rhythm and 2049 01:24:41,990 --> 01:24:38,000 rhyme but also they're connecting to 2050 01:24:45,410 --> 01:24:42,000 slowing down to closing down to 2051 01:24:48,530 --> 01:24:45,420 sun going down and to being enveloped 2052 01:24:52,070 --> 01:24:48,540 and protected so there is a there is 2053 01:24:56,390 --> 01:24:52,080 this aura some sort of of love and 2054 01:24:59,090 --> 01:24:56,400 protection and ability to relax our 2055 01:25:01,970 --> 01:24:59,100 nervous system as well 2056 01:25:04,070 --> 01:25:01,980 and we naturally do that if we're here a 2057 01:25:05,750 --> 01:25:04,080 lullaby from another culture it almost 2058 01:25:06,830 --> 01:25:05,760 doesn't matter to us we know it is a 2059 01:25:10,910 --> 01:25:06,840 lullaby 2060 01:25:13,189 --> 01:25:10,920 and I think it's important to hear other 2061 01:25:16,729 --> 01:25:13,199 languages as well so this is another 2062 01:25:20,090 --> 01:25:16,739 aspect of that is being exposed to 2063 01:25:23,870 --> 01:25:20,100 otherwise to other structures to it's a 2064 01:25:26,810 --> 01:25:23,880 linguistic pattern and Rhymes have a 2065 01:25:28,850 --> 01:25:26,820 particularly unique structure that also 2066 01:25:31,010 --> 01:25:28,860 it's a way of problem solving right it's 2067 01:25:33,950 --> 01:25:31,020 how do you rhyme these words 2068 01:25:35,390 --> 01:25:33,960 for them to be brutally connected but 2069 01:25:37,490 --> 01:25:35,400 also meaningful 2070 01:25:39,950 --> 01:25:37,500 and you poets who are able to write 2071 01:25:41,630 --> 01:25:39,960 poems very highly intellectual it's a 2072 01:25:45,050 --> 01:25:41,640 problem-solving ability 2073 01:25:46,370 --> 01:25:45,060 and I think why do they survive these 2074 01:25:48,890 --> 01:25:46,380 lullabies this is also another 2075 01:25:52,070 --> 01:25:48,900 interesting question to investigate 2076 01:25:55,130 --> 01:25:52,080 so what is so helpful and why don't we 2077 01:25:57,470 --> 01:25:55,140 study lullabies that if it is a relaxing 2078 01:26:00,649 --> 01:25:57,480 especially in our stressful environment 2079 01:26:02,930 --> 01:26:00,659 so maybe all we need is the tuition to 2080 01:26:06,590 --> 01:26:02,940 some lullabies and to capture our 2081 01:26:08,990 --> 01:26:06,600 grandparents or parents saying and if it 2082 01:26:11,870 --> 01:26:09,000 can calm us down instantaneously because 2083 01:26:14,450 --> 01:26:11,880 our body would respond to it so 2084 01:26:17,930 --> 01:26:14,460 fast because it's ingrained in us it's 2085 01:26:20,450 --> 01:26:17,940 wired in US why not use that so there 2086 01:26:22,910 --> 01:26:20,460 are many aspects of why I've chose 2087 01:26:24,709 --> 01:26:22,920 that so it's again about connecting 2088 01:26:25,490 --> 01:26:24,719 cultures 2089 01:26:28,310 --> 01:26:25,500 um 2090 01:26:31,070 --> 01:26:28,320 so if we're talking about discovering 2091 01:26:33,110 --> 01:26:31,080 this Earth language is this something 2092 01:26:36,010 --> 01:26:33,120 that we could potentially in the future 2093 01:26:39,470 --> 01:26:36,020 use to have some kind of communication 2094 01:26:41,270 --> 01:26:39,480 with nature whether it be animals or a 2095 01:26:42,950 --> 01:26:41,280 tree or something else is that something 2096 01:26:45,290 --> 01:26:42,960 that you feel like it could be possible 2097 01:26:47,629 --> 01:26:45,300 with this sort of modality 2098 01:26:48,350 --> 01:26:47,639 yes so for example when you learn a 2099 01:26:51,350 --> 01:26:48,360 language 2100 01:26:53,950 --> 01:26:51,360 you go from not knowing it all and then 2101 01:26:57,649 --> 01:26:53,960 suddenly Concepts make sense one word 2102 01:27:00,649 --> 01:26:57,659 carries a concept or one phrase or a 2103 01:27:01,669 --> 01:27:00,659 turn of phrase or an intonation makes a 2104 01:27:03,890 --> 01:27:01,679 difference 2105 01:27:06,530 --> 01:27:03,900 so there is a lot of information carried 2106 01:27:09,890 --> 01:27:06,540 in just me speaking with you 2107 01:27:12,290 --> 01:27:09,900 right now and you are hearing much more 2108 01:27:14,209 --> 01:27:12,300 than the word I say 2109 01:27:19,790 --> 01:27:14,219 and the same way 2110 01:27:22,729 --> 01:27:19,800 I believe that we would by listening and 2111 01:27:24,410 --> 01:27:22,739 seeing so by forming so these components 2112 01:27:26,750 --> 01:27:24,420 of the language of the visual component 2113 01:27:28,850 --> 01:27:26,760 and also audio component and anything 2114 01:27:31,610 --> 01:27:28,860 that comes with audio from 2115 01:27:34,250 --> 01:27:31,620 rhyme to intonation to 2116 01:27:36,229 --> 01:27:34,260 various types of connection to what we 2117 01:27:38,689 --> 01:27:36,239 make when we linguistically study the 2118 01:27:40,850 --> 01:27:38,699 language and what connects it to an 2119 01:27:42,890 --> 01:27:40,860 actual voice component of the language 2120 01:27:45,890 --> 01:27:42,900 so for example you know some people ask 2121 01:27:47,270 --> 01:27:45,900 a question in one language and they 2122 01:27:50,270 --> 01:27:47,280 would rise in intonation and another 2123 01:27:54,229 --> 01:27:50,280 they will decrease and you could use the 2124 01:27:55,970 --> 01:27:54,239 same grammatically the same sentence but 2125 01:27:58,070 --> 01:27:55,980 depending how you use intonation it will 2126 01:28:01,189 --> 01:27:58,080 either be a question or it would be a 2127 01:28:05,390 --> 01:28:01,199 statement and in the same way I believe 2128 01:28:08,990 --> 01:28:05,400 that by letting a new generation here 2129 01:28:11,510 --> 01:28:09,000 a different type of sounds and 2130 01:28:13,550 --> 01:28:11,520 Associated images with that 2131 01:28:16,790 --> 01:28:13,560 they would make the connection that we 2132 01:28:20,330 --> 01:28:16,800 are unable to make it as adults so the 2133 01:28:23,030 --> 01:28:20,340 brain the Baby Genius will will make 2134 01:28:25,129 --> 01:28:23,040 that connection or they may not it's 2135 01:28:28,610 --> 01:28:25,139 either way but the point is that there 2136 01:28:30,530 --> 01:28:28,620 will be a leap of appreciation that 2137 01:28:33,229 --> 01:28:30,540 these sounds are meaningful 2138 01:28:35,689 --> 01:28:33,239 then the meaning is found we find 2139 01:28:38,030 --> 01:28:35,699 meaning just in 2140 01:28:41,330 --> 01:28:38,040 and sticks right the letters it just 2141 01:28:43,250 --> 01:28:41,340 sticks put together and suddenly that 2142 01:28:45,410 --> 01:28:43,260 makes sense after a while after you've 2143 01:28:47,110 --> 01:28:45,420 been looking at it intently 2144 01:28:50,090 --> 01:28:47,120 it makes sense and this is what 2145 01:28:51,290 --> 01:28:50,100 investigators and researchers and Native 2146 01:28:53,330 --> 01:28:51,300 cultures you don't have to be a 2147 01:28:55,370 --> 01:28:53,340 scientist or you could be just a curious 2148 01:28:58,310 --> 01:28:55,380 person to make a meaning out of 2149 01:29:00,950 --> 01:28:58,320 something that was not there before 2150 01:29:02,689 --> 01:29:00,960 it's a very difficult concept to 2151 01:29:04,310 --> 01:29:02,699 describe how does the meaning arise or 2152 01:29:06,770 --> 01:29:04,320 how does believe arise I mean that's 2153 01:29:09,770 --> 01:29:06,780 Diana's what sticks do you have to put 2154 01:29:11,209 --> 01:29:09,780 together to have a billion in a way so 2155 01:29:13,310 --> 01:29:11,219 you know stick could be anything it's 2156 01:29:15,110 --> 01:29:13,320 just representation of a piece of 2157 01:29:17,810 --> 01:29:15,120 information that you are taking in 2158 01:29:21,950 --> 01:29:17,820 through one or another receptor 2159 01:29:24,649 --> 01:29:21,960 so yes I believe so that they would have 2160 01:29:26,570 --> 01:29:24,659 a meaning and computers now discovering 2161 01:29:28,070 --> 01:29:26,580 a meaning in certain sounds because 2162 01:29:30,830 --> 01:29:28,080 they're able to differentiate better 2163 01:29:33,229 --> 01:29:30,840 granularity because our perceptors 2164 01:29:36,290 --> 01:29:33,239 are unable to read those frequencies 2165 01:29:39,590 --> 01:29:36,300 either because we lost them or we never 2166 01:29:40,610 --> 01:29:39,600 had them but nonetheless there is a 2167 01:29:43,729 --> 01:29:40,620 meaning 2168 01:29:45,950 --> 01:29:43,739 assigned so I think if our brain can be 2169 01:29:48,590 --> 01:29:45,960 wired to a new language or to any 2170 01:29:50,629 --> 01:29:48,600 language why not to this what could this 2171 01:29:53,930 --> 01:29:50,639 be not a language 2172 01:29:55,729 --> 01:29:53,940 that makes sense is there 2173 01:29:58,910 --> 01:29:55,739 I know there's no way for you to know 2174 01:30:03,229 --> 01:29:58,920 but do you suspect that this Earth 2175 01:30:05,629 --> 01:30:03,239 language is so specific to Earth that it 2176 01:30:07,010 --> 01:30:05,639 would maybe not be intelligible just a 2177 01:30:09,110 --> 01:30:07,020 non-human intelligence from another 2178 01:30:10,610 --> 01:30:09,120 planet who is working within the same 2179 01:30:12,410 --> 01:30:10,620 framework or do you think that there's a 2180 01:30:14,629 --> 01:30:12,420 potential that this is something that 2181 01:30:17,450 --> 01:30:14,639 could be Universal 2182 01:30:20,209 --> 01:30:17,460 this question is so loaded I think if we 2183 01:30:22,010 --> 01:30:20,219 ground it a little bit into what we know 2184 01:30:25,430 --> 01:30:22,020 because obviously you haven't been to 2185 01:30:28,070 --> 01:30:25,440 another planet and even to the moon what 2186 01:30:31,669 --> 01:30:28,080 would be nice to think about in this way 2187 01:30:33,890 --> 01:30:31,679 is that we know couches are able to tell 2188 01:30:35,390 --> 01:30:33,900 what happens to their family when we 2189 01:30:36,470 --> 01:30:35,400 don't have to go in even to Native 2190 01:30:41,510 --> 01:30:36,480 cultures 2191 01:30:44,530 --> 01:30:41,520 we're able to tell 2192 01:30:47,689 --> 01:30:44,540 that something is happening with another 2193 01:30:50,030 --> 01:30:47,699 family member so then how do we know 2194 01:30:51,290 --> 01:30:50,040 this you know there are many ways of 2195 01:30:52,970 --> 01:30:51,300 looking at it there is research on 2196 01:30:55,370 --> 01:30:52,980 coincidences 2197 01:30:58,629 --> 01:30:55,380 and Rupert sheldrake so the British 2198 01:31:02,629 --> 01:30:58,639 scientists and biologist who was doing 2199 01:31:04,970 --> 01:31:02,639 research into US knowing who will call 2200 01:31:06,830 --> 01:31:04,980 you for example he wrote a book about 2201 01:31:08,870 --> 01:31:06,840 seven experiments that would change the 2202 01:31:12,830 --> 01:31:08,880 world which is quite interesting it's 2203 01:31:16,250 --> 01:31:12,840 our ability to perceive information on 2204 01:31:19,370 --> 01:31:16,260 meaning from something that is not 2205 01:31:20,570 --> 01:31:19,380 linguistic right it is also a way of 2206 01:31:24,110 --> 01:31:20,580 communicating 2207 01:31:27,410 --> 01:31:24,120 I visited cultures that are able to tell 2208 01:31:31,070 --> 01:31:27,420 just by looking at you where you might 2209 01:31:34,250 --> 01:31:31,080 have a medical condition or by the way 2210 01:31:36,169 --> 01:31:34,260 you sound they will be able to tell what 2211 01:31:37,790 --> 01:31:36,179 your status and it actually doesn't have 2212 01:31:39,649 --> 01:31:37,800 to go to indigenous cultures you know if 2213 01:31:41,270 --> 01:31:39,659 you know a person really well you would 2214 01:31:43,010 --> 01:31:41,280 be able to tell from the sound of their 2215 01:31:45,770 --> 01:31:43,020 voice if they are feeling well or not 2216 01:31:47,330 --> 01:31:45,780 well right if it is your close friend or 2217 01:31:51,649 --> 01:31:47,340 family member 2218 01:31:54,590 --> 01:31:51,659 so it's about finding these Clues I'm 2219 01:31:57,169 --> 01:31:54,600 talking about breadcrumbs taking little 2220 01:32:00,290 --> 01:31:57,179 steps and seeing where they lead 2221 01:32:03,490 --> 01:32:00,300 and I feel that 2222 01:32:06,410 --> 01:32:03,500 this is kind of somewhat scientific 2223 01:32:07,550 --> 01:32:06,420 Beginnings or it's a concept that's 2224 01:32:08,750 --> 01:32:07,560 emerging 2225 01:32:10,729 --> 01:32:08,760 and 2226 01:32:12,890 --> 01:32:10,739 maybe native cultures are able to 2227 01:32:14,149 --> 01:32:12,900 interpret nature sounds and they're 2228 01:32:16,550 --> 01:32:14,159 meaningful to them but they can't 2229 01:32:18,950 --> 01:32:16,560 explain it to us but maybe by 2230 01:32:22,310 --> 01:32:18,960 introducing this in a slightly different 2231 01:32:23,990 --> 01:32:22,320 way from kind of modern society we're 2232 01:32:25,910 --> 01:32:24,000 able to tap into it from a different 2233 01:32:29,390 --> 01:32:25,920 direction and hence 2234 01:32:31,070 --> 01:32:29,400 than being able to perceive the meaning 2235 01:32:33,709 --> 01:32:31,080 of sounds 2236 01:32:36,229 --> 01:32:33,719 that are not familiar to us you know 2237 01:32:37,850 --> 01:32:36,239 like to me as a mother but maybe my 2238 01:32:41,270 --> 01:32:37,860 children would be able to have meaning 2239 01:32:44,090 --> 01:32:41,280 to that so what is not to say that they 2240 01:32:46,310 --> 01:32:44,100 will perceive so what the wind is saying 2241 01:32:48,590 --> 01:32:46,320 because native cultures can and that's 2242 01:32:51,590 --> 01:32:48,600 nature speaking tree speaking I don't 2243 01:32:54,530 --> 01:32:51,600 know you know who is that speaking so 2244 01:32:57,169 --> 01:32:54,540 it's another being how intelligent this 2245 01:33:00,830 --> 01:32:57,179 is a big debate right of what is 2246 01:33:02,870 --> 01:33:00,840 intelligent or not I've read a work of I 2247 01:33:06,050 --> 01:33:02,880 will just remember the name so it's 2248 01:33:09,229 --> 01:33:06,060 Stefan bachner who wrote a book called 2249 01:33:11,689 --> 01:33:09,239 plant intelligence he's about biochemist 2250 01:33:15,169 --> 01:33:11,699 and he has a family of generations 2251 01:33:18,350 --> 01:33:15,179 actually physicians in early 1900s 2252 01:33:21,830 --> 01:33:18,360 and they are able to look at the person 2253 01:33:23,689 --> 01:33:21,840 and the plant the right plant would come 2254 01:33:26,149 --> 01:33:23,699 to them of what will help with their 2255 01:33:29,450 --> 01:33:26,159 condition so this is a person 2256 01:33:32,689 --> 01:33:29,460 living in the U.S right now who is 2257 01:33:35,030 --> 01:33:32,699 successfully picking Botanical medicine 2258 01:33:37,550 --> 01:33:35,040 to suit the individual and can explain 2259 01:33:40,910 --> 01:33:37,560 it really well using scientific language 2260 01:33:43,250 --> 01:33:40,920 she studied biochemistry as well 2261 01:33:47,450 --> 01:33:43,260 another person is a scientist Monica 2262 01:33:48,410 --> 01:33:47,460 Gagliano she wrote a book Thus Spoke the 2263 01:33:51,890 --> 01:33:48,420 plant 2264 01:33:55,669 --> 01:33:51,900 so she designed experiment where she 2265 01:33:58,910 --> 01:33:55,679 played a sound of running water and 2266 01:34:01,310 --> 01:33:58,920 created Tunnels for the plants to push 2267 01:34:02,209 --> 01:34:01,320 its roots through right to the source of 2268 01:34:04,430 --> 01:34:02,219 water 2269 01:34:06,110 --> 01:34:04,440 and apparently the plants can hear 2270 01:34:08,510 --> 01:34:06,120 who would have known 2271 01:34:10,250 --> 01:34:08,520 and there are many experiments on plants 2272 01:34:13,850 --> 01:34:10,260 that they're able to communicate each 2273 01:34:16,129 --> 01:34:13,860 other and it seems like able to hear a 2274 01:34:18,530 --> 01:34:16,139 munching insect 2275 01:34:21,649 --> 01:34:18,540 there is a insect that could destroy 2276 01:34:23,870 --> 01:34:21,659 them and the insect that will not harm 2277 01:34:25,250 --> 01:34:23,880 them but they're both munching and they 2278 01:34:28,550 --> 01:34:25,260 will differentiate between the two and 2279 01:34:31,490 --> 01:34:28,560 react appropriately so why can't we 2280 01:34:34,370 --> 01:34:31,500 speak to the plant if we understand how 2281 01:34:35,450 --> 01:34:34,380 if they can hear water well we can hear 2282 01:34:37,550 --> 01:34:35,460 water 2283 01:34:40,790 --> 01:34:37,560 it's all about time perception isn't 2284 01:34:42,770 --> 01:34:40,800 that if we put the tap on and want the 2285 01:34:44,629 --> 01:34:42,780 plant to react it's just going to take 2286 01:34:46,250 --> 01:34:44,639 if they don't have an instantaneous 2287 01:34:48,649 --> 01:34:46,260 reaction that would need time to grow 2288 01:34:50,750 --> 01:34:48,659 their roots to communicate so it's which 2289 01:34:53,570 --> 01:34:50,760 time scale are we perceiving 2290 01:34:55,610 --> 01:34:53,580 so time is a big factor in language and 2291 01:34:57,229 --> 01:34:55,620 meaning so if you're in the conversation 2292 01:35:00,590 --> 01:34:57,239 and you lost the beginning you kind of 2293 01:35:02,149 --> 01:35:00,600 lost the thread altogether you may never 2294 01:35:04,970 --> 01:35:02,159 retain it back 2295 01:35:06,590 --> 01:35:04,980 Justin is in our podcast if I missed 2296 01:35:08,990 --> 01:35:06,600 your question at the very beginning I 2297 01:35:10,669 --> 01:35:09,000 can't actually make sense of it and want 2298 01:35:12,649 --> 01:35:10,679 to make sure I understood 2299 01:35:15,350 --> 01:35:12,659 so 2300 01:35:18,470 --> 01:35:15,360 we're discovering things all the time I 2301 01:35:21,649 --> 01:35:18,480 very much see that we should make steps 2302 01:35:23,350 --> 01:35:21,659 to understand other living things so 2303 01:35:26,810 --> 01:35:23,360 let's give it take another example 2304 01:35:30,050 --> 01:35:26,820 bacteria is it intelligent or is it not 2305 01:35:31,250 --> 01:35:30,060 well actually bacteria passes 2306 01:35:34,669 --> 01:35:31,260 information 2307 01:35:37,970 --> 01:35:34,679 across generations and to other species 2308 01:35:39,290 --> 01:35:37,980 of bacteria is it intelligent or not and 2309 01:35:41,169 --> 01:35:39,300 they're helping each other to survive 2310 01:35:43,669 --> 01:35:41,179 and in fact they will pass information 2311 01:35:46,970 --> 01:35:43,679 to the bacteria who considered their 2312 01:35:51,050 --> 01:35:46,980 enemy so this is talking cross species 2313 01:35:53,990 --> 01:35:51,060 right across the variety of bacteria and 2314 01:35:56,090 --> 01:35:54,000 a bigger Revelation was for me that we 2315 01:35:57,830 --> 01:35:56,100 are thinking that fungus right well I 2316 01:35:59,570 --> 01:35:57,840 don't know many people are aware but 2317 01:36:01,610 --> 01:35:59,580 fungus is considered to be the biggest 2318 01:36:03,050 --> 01:36:01,620 living organism 2319 01:36:05,149 --> 01:36:03,060 because it's connected you know 2320 01:36:07,250 --> 01:36:05,159 underground and overground and often 2321 01:36:08,870 --> 01:36:07,260 it's just one single organism for 2322 01:36:11,030 --> 01:36:08,880 several miles 2323 01:36:13,490 --> 01:36:11,040 could be extending under the floor the 2324 01:36:14,930 --> 01:36:13,500 one Forest land for you know and they're 2325 01:36:16,729 --> 01:36:14,940 all communicating so it's like this is 2326 01:36:18,890 --> 01:36:16,739 like an internet 2327 01:36:20,750 --> 01:36:18,900 but bacteria 2328 01:36:21,590 --> 01:36:20,760 if they're all communicating which they 2329 01:36:24,590 --> 01:36:21,600 do 2330 01:36:27,410 --> 01:36:24,600 they extend below the ground 2331 01:36:29,209 --> 01:36:27,420 and several miles up 2332 01:36:31,370 --> 01:36:29,219 so can you think that we're living in 2333 01:36:34,250 --> 01:36:31,380 the world of bacteria but not only that 2334 01:36:36,410 --> 01:36:34,260 there's a big part of our weight that is 2335 01:36:38,570 --> 01:36:36,420 pure bacteria 2336 01:36:40,850 --> 01:36:38,580 so we're breathing it in eating it in 2337 01:36:43,189 --> 01:36:40,860 touching it and we can't even see it's 2338 01:36:47,090 --> 01:36:43,199 coming in or going out 2339 01:36:49,970 --> 01:36:47,100 but yet it makes us do things bacteria 2340 01:36:52,330 --> 01:36:49,980 influences our human behavior and we're 2341 01:36:55,970 --> 01:36:52,340 thinking we're intelligent 2342 01:36:58,910 --> 01:36:55,980 I think humility is the way and empathy 2343 01:37:00,649 --> 01:36:58,920 is the way and to be a little bit more 2344 01:37:02,930 --> 01:37:00,659 respectful 2345 01:37:06,110 --> 01:37:02,940 of where we live and 2346 01:37:09,290 --> 01:37:06,120 what we're affected by is helpful for us 2347 01:37:11,390 --> 01:37:09,300 as species to navigate the world of 2348 01:37:13,129 --> 01:37:11,400 other species and see where the 2349 01:37:18,110 --> 01:37:13,139 intelligence 2350 01:37:20,030 --> 01:37:18,120 Define who is intelligent 2351 01:37:22,310 --> 01:37:20,040 ah wow 2352 01:37:23,990 --> 01:37:22,320 I'm so overwhelmed by all of this I um 2353 01:37:25,430 --> 01:37:24,000 well I know that we've taken up I've 2354 01:37:28,550 --> 01:37:25,440 already taken up a ton of your time so 2355 01:37:31,729 --> 01:37:28,560 I've just won a final question 2356 01:37:33,770 --> 01:37:31,739 I am so blown away by just the novelty 2357 01:37:36,410 --> 01:37:33,780 of the way that you approach your work 2358 01:37:38,930 --> 01:37:36,420 you aren't retreading Old Paths you're 2359 01:37:40,310 --> 01:37:38,940 forging new ones and by someone who 2360 01:37:42,229 --> 01:37:40,320 thinks of themselves as a pretty 2361 01:37:44,209 --> 01:37:42,239 independent thinker I'm humbled at the 2362 01:37:46,790 --> 01:37:44,219 way that you approach problem solving 2363 01:37:49,070 --> 01:37:46,800 and I would love to know if you really 2364 01:37:51,290 --> 01:37:49,080 want to be an innovator and really 2365 01:37:53,510 --> 01:37:51,300 change things in your field what do you 2366 01:37:56,270 --> 01:37:53,520 think it takes to do that 2367 01:37:59,030 --> 01:37:56,280 thank you Kelly I think it's important 2368 01:38:01,910 --> 01:37:59,040 to to ground yourself because I think 2369 01:38:03,890 --> 01:38:01,920 once it gets into our head we you know 2370 01:38:06,229 --> 01:38:03,900 like when I was talking about 2371 01:38:08,450 --> 01:38:06,239 experts who think they they know 2372 01:38:11,689 --> 01:38:08,460 everything so I think it's important to 2373 01:38:14,629 --> 01:38:11,699 remain in that space where what else I 2374 01:38:16,850 --> 01:38:14,639 don't know or what else could go wrong 2375 01:38:19,669 --> 01:38:16,860 and how can I better this space or 2376 01:38:22,250 --> 01:38:19,679 better myself is a good space to 2377 01:38:24,050 --> 01:38:22,260 to work from or what did I miss or what 2378 01:38:27,169 --> 01:38:24,060 did I not understood is the questions 2379 01:38:29,990 --> 01:38:27,179 that I'm interested so part of this 2380 01:38:31,790 --> 01:38:30,000 endeavor of Earth language and for 2381 01:38:32,930 --> 01:38:31,800 extending New Generation to be more 2382 01:38:35,090 --> 01:38:32,940 connected 2383 01:38:37,669 --> 01:38:35,100 I've also developed a training program 2384 01:38:40,430 --> 01:38:37,679 for training like it's probably more 2385 01:38:43,070 --> 01:38:40,440 awareness and curiosity program for new 2386 01:38:45,010 --> 01:38:43,080 parents they don't have to be that new 2387 01:38:48,169 --> 01:38:45,020 or that young 2388 01:38:50,450 --> 01:38:48,179 it's just anybody who has a newborn baby 2389 01:38:52,490 --> 01:38:50,460 around it could be grandparents it could 2390 01:38:54,410 --> 01:38:52,500 be very young or 2391 01:38:57,229 --> 01:38:54,420 professionals who finally decided to 2392 01:38:59,530 --> 01:38:57,239 have babies or aunties who don't have 2393 01:39:04,310 --> 01:38:59,540 babies and have access to one 2394 01:39:06,890 --> 01:39:04,320 and I feel that it is important to ask 2395 01:39:09,110 --> 01:39:06,900 to to remain curious and this is what 2396 01:39:12,470 --> 01:39:09,120 the program is about so I use all this 2397 01:39:13,729 --> 01:39:12,480 tools that I've developed and keep 2398 01:39:17,629 --> 01:39:13,739 developing 2399 01:39:19,790 --> 01:39:17,639 of making parents to be more 2400 01:39:21,770 --> 01:39:19,800 able to listen to themselves and to 2401 01:39:24,530 --> 01:39:21,780 their baby and to really learn to 2402 01:39:26,810 --> 01:39:24,540 communicate with the baby and learns 2403 01:39:29,090 --> 01:39:26,820 through their curiosity to see the world 2404 01:39:32,629 --> 01:39:29,100 through their eyes because it's a stage 2405 01:39:34,129 --> 01:39:32,639 in our life when we become different we 2406 01:39:35,629 --> 01:39:34,139 really do become different when we 2407 01:39:37,729 --> 01:39:35,639 become parents 2408 01:39:38,990 --> 01:39:37,739 suddenly world is upside down and we 2409 01:39:41,330 --> 01:39:39,000 can't well I don't know some people 2410 01:39:44,510 --> 01:39:41,340 probably natural at it but I'm not so 2411 01:39:45,950 --> 01:39:44,520 this was all very new and I did throw 2412 01:39:49,010 --> 01:39:45,960 everything upside down so I had to 2413 01:39:52,129 --> 01:39:49,020 reorient and be differently become a 2414 01:39:54,590 --> 01:39:52,139 different person change my way but more 2415 01:39:56,870 --> 01:39:54,600 importantly I was so lucky to recognize 2416 01:39:57,950 --> 01:39:56,880 that the children's have a lot to teach 2417 01:40:01,250 --> 01:39:57,960 us 2418 01:40:03,110 --> 01:40:01,260 and suddenly once I recognized that the 2419 01:40:05,689 --> 01:40:03,120 world became a different place 2420 01:40:07,970 --> 01:40:05,699 because there were so many Concepts that 2421 01:40:09,590 --> 01:40:07,980 I distilled in myself and thinking the 2422 01:40:13,070 --> 01:40:09,600 world works like this 2423 01:40:15,110 --> 01:40:13,080 and once I take my perspective through 2424 01:40:17,090 --> 01:40:15,120 just like I do professionally look 2425 01:40:19,669 --> 01:40:17,100 through other people's cognition and 2426 01:40:23,390 --> 01:40:19,679 thinking process once I started doing 2427 01:40:25,790 --> 01:40:23,400 that through babies I saw the world as a 2428 01:40:27,410 --> 01:40:25,800 completely different place and I think 2429 01:40:28,490 --> 01:40:27,420 that's important to change that 2430 01:40:32,390 --> 01:40:28,500 perspective 2431 01:40:35,629 --> 01:40:32,400 and to let the children remain curious 2432 01:40:37,790 --> 01:40:35,639 so I teach your parents and anybody 2433 01:40:42,770 --> 01:40:37,800 who's willing to listen and have a new 2434 01:40:44,930 --> 01:40:42,780 baby to observe to to just grow through 2435 01:40:48,709 --> 01:40:44,940 being around the baby 2436 01:40:51,350 --> 01:40:48,719 and help the baby to teach us on how to 2437 01:40:52,729 --> 01:40:51,360 navigate the world without disrupting it 2438 01:40:55,189 --> 01:40:52,739 because that's what 2439 01:40:57,649 --> 01:40:55,199 babies usually do that they're just so 2440 01:41:00,350 --> 01:40:57,659 curious that they follow their Instinct 2441 01:41:02,810 --> 01:41:00,360 and intuition and discover and look at 2442 01:41:05,330 --> 01:41:02,820 things not as we would 2443 01:41:07,910 --> 01:41:05,340 and that's what we need 2444 01:41:10,250 --> 01:41:07,920 Ah that's beautiful I love that 2445 01:41:12,290 --> 01:41:10,260 well thank you so much for your time 2446 01:41:14,410 --> 01:41:12,300 today

01:41:31,320 much appreciate 2456 01:41:45,770 --> 01:41:40,000 [Music]
