1 00:00:33,709 --> 00:00:02,149 [Music] 2 00:00:36,290 --> 00:00:33,719 welcome back to the UFO Rabbit Hole 3 00:00:38,810 --> 00:00:36,300 podcast I'm your host Kelly Chase 4 00:00:40,490 --> 00:00:38,820 today we're circling back to an idea 5 00:00:42,889 --> 00:00:40,500 that we visited in one of the earliest 6 00:00:45,650 --> 00:00:42,899 episodes of the podcast the extra 7 00:00:47,090 --> 00:00:45,660 tempestrial model sometimes also 8 00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:47,100 referred to as the future human 9 00:00:52,069 --> 00:00:49,860 hypothesis the extra tempustrial model 10 00:00:54,889 --> 00:00:52,079 is the idea that the UFO phenomenon 11 00:00:56,689 --> 00:00:54,899 might represent Advanced humans and 12 00:00:58,970 --> 00:00:56,699 human descendants who were traveling 13 00:01:01,069 --> 00:00:58,980 here from another point in time 14 00:01:03,590 --> 00:01:01,079 now I'll admit to struggling with this 15 00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:03,600 idea at first time travel has always 16 00:01:08,929 --> 00:01:05,760 seemed a little too clunky and a little 17 00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:08,939 too hokey to be taken seriously but as 18 00:01:13,490 --> 00:01:11,040 so often happens on this trip down the 19 00:01:15,770 --> 00:01:13,500 rabbit hole the more I learned and the 20 00:01:17,929 --> 00:01:15,780 more my perspective began to swell and 21 00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:17,939 shift to accommodate the strange new 22 00:01:23,289 --> 00:01:20,880 realities I was exploring the more what 23 00:01:25,789 --> 00:01:23,299 once seemed like kind of a crazy idea 24 00:01:26,690 --> 00:01:25,799 suddenly started to make a heck of a lot 25 00:01:29,090 --> 00:01:26,700 of sense 26 00:01:31,010 --> 00:01:29,100 and I found that many of my objections 27 00:01:32,990 --> 00:01:31,020 had more to do with the limitations of 28 00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:33,000 my knowledge than the limitations of the 29 00:01:38,030 --> 00:01:36,000 extra tempustrial model itself so I want 30 00:01:40,969 --> 00:01:38,040 to come back around to this idea because 31 00:01:42,590 --> 00:01:40,979 there is a lot to dig into most of which 32 00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:42,600 didn't make it into the initial episode 33 00:01:47,330 --> 00:01:45,240 and there are some new and updated ideas 34 00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:47,340 that I think are really valuable in 35 00:01:52,010 --> 00:01:49,200 understanding the complexities of the 36 00:01:54,289 --> 00:01:52,020 phenomenon and there's no better way to 37 00:01:55,850 --> 00:01:54,299 take a deep dive into this topic than 38 00:01:57,770 --> 00:01:55,860 with one of the people who literally 39 00:02:01,010 --> 00:01:57,780 wrote the book on the Extraterrestrial 40 00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:01,020 model Dr Michael P Masters Michael 41 00:02:05,749 --> 00:02:03,360 Masters is a professor of biological 42 00:02:08,690 --> 00:02:05,759 anthropology at Montana Technological 43 00:02:11,089 --> 00:02:08,700 University Dr Masters work related to 44 00:02:13,690 --> 00:02:11,099 the phenomenon explores the potential 45 00:02:16,309 --> 00:02:13,700 evolutionary trajectories of humankind 46 00:02:18,589 --> 00:02:16,319 linking anthropological Theory to 47 00:02:21,050 --> 00:02:18,599 hypotheses about non-human intelligence 48 00:02:23,570 --> 00:02:21,060 he is the author of several books on the 49 00:02:25,729 --> 00:02:23,580 topic including identified flying 50 00:02:28,610 --> 00:02:25,739 objects a multi-disciplinary scientific 51 00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:28,620 approach to the UFO phenomenon the extra 52 00:02:33,410 --> 00:02:31,440 tempestrial model and his latest a 53 00:02:36,530 --> 00:02:33,420 satirical science fiction novel called 54 00:02:38,990 --> 00:02:36,540 Revelation the future human past 55 00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:39,000 but before we begin there are just a 56 00:02:42,770 --> 00:02:40,319 couple of things that I want to say 57 00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:42,780 about this episode too often when we're 58 00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:45,360 talking about the UFO phenomenon we find 59 00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:47,040 that we're talking about what the craft 60 00:02:51,110 --> 00:02:49,440 are and how they might work while 61 00:02:53,390 --> 00:02:51,120 studiously ignoring some of the biggest 62 00:02:55,490 --> 00:02:53,400 and most profound questions which are 63 00:02:58,250 --> 00:02:55,500 what is the nature of the intelligence 64 00:03:00,949 --> 00:02:58,260 behind the UFO phenomenon who is 65 00:03:02,030 --> 00:03:00,959 actually inside the craft and what do 66 00:03:04,009 --> 00:03:02,040 they want 67 00:03:06,290 --> 00:03:04,019 and that makes sense in a lot of ways 68 00:03:08,210 --> 00:03:06,300 with craft the questions are more 69 00:03:11,030 --> 00:03:08,220 straightforward as are the methodologies 70 00:03:12,770 --> 00:03:11,040 for answering them for example you can 71 00:03:14,390 --> 00:03:12,780 verify that a craft is real and 72 00:03:17,330 --> 00:03:14,400 determine things about its capabilities 73 00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:17,340 and measurable scientific terms if you 74 00:03:21,710 --> 00:03:18,959 can capture it on multiple tracking 75 00:03:23,330 --> 00:03:21,720 systems simultaneously or if you were 76 00:03:25,850 --> 00:03:23,340 able to get your hands on an actual 77 00:03:27,710 --> 00:03:25,860 craft you could test those materials in 78 00:03:29,930 --> 00:03:27,720 a lab and determine what it was made out 79 00:03:31,070 --> 00:03:29,940 of and maybe even get Clues as to how it 80 00:03:32,750 --> 00:03:31,080 was made 81 00:03:35,390 --> 00:03:32,760 and with a topic that has been so 82 00:03:36,890 --> 00:03:35,400 heavily stigmatized it's not hard to 83 00:03:39,290 --> 00:03:36,900 understand why people would want to 84 00:03:41,270 --> 00:03:39,300 stick to the hard science to the things 85 00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:41,280 that we would at least hypothetically 86 00:03:45,530 --> 00:03:43,680 have the ability to prove in a lab 87 00:03:47,570 --> 00:03:45,540 and there are many who argue that if we 88 00:03:50,149 --> 00:03:47,580 want you follow G to be taken seriously 89 00:03:52,309 --> 00:03:50,159 then the only way forward is to leave 90 00:03:55,130 --> 00:03:52,319 behind all the speculation and just 91 00:03:57,530 --> 00:03:55,140 focus on what we can know for sure 92 00:03:59,750 --> 00:03:57,540 as the oft mentioned Carl Sagan quote 93 00:04:01,490 --> 00:03:59,760 goes extraordinary claims require 94 00:04:03,350 --> 00:04:01,500 extraordinary evidence 95 00:04:05,149 --> 00:04:03,360 it makes sense then that people would 96 00:04:07,729 --> 00:04:05,159 want to focus on the best and most 97 00:04:09,530 --> 00:04:07,739 empirically provable data points in 98 00:04:12,410 --> 00:04:09,540 order to have the best shot at clearing 99 00:04:13,490 --> 00:04:12,420 that bar and I get that it's a valid 100 00:04:15,649 --> 00:04:13,500 perspective 101 00:04:17,810 --> 00:04:15,659 the problem comes when we decide that 102 00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:17,820 that is the only kind of data that we're 103 00:04:22,730 --> 00:04:20,160 going to be willing to take seriously 104 00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:22,740 this approach ultimately cripples Us in 105 00:04:25,730 --> 00:04:24,240 terms of getting a sense of the full 106 00:04:28,249 --> 00:04:25,740 scope of what we're dealing with here 107 00:04:30,409 --> 00:04:28,259 because virtually all of the biggest 108 00:04:32,990 --> 00:04:30,419 questions about the UFO phenomenon 109 00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:33,000 including who these others are and what 110 00:04:36,950 --> 00:04:34,320 they're doing here and what they want 111 00:04:37,909 --> 00:04:36,960 aren't questions that can be answered in 112 00:04:40,610 --> 00:04:37,919 a lab 113 00:04:42,230 --> 00:04:40,620 as an anthropologist Michael Masters is 114 00:04:44,749 --> 00:04:42,240 trained in exactly the sort of 115 00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:44,759 discipline that we need to ask some of 116 00:04:50,629 --> 00:04:47,520 these bigger questions his tools are 117 00:04:52,249 --> 00:04:50,639 observational not experimental the data 118 00:04:55,370 --> 00:04:52,259 used to assess these kinds of questions 119 00:04:57,530 --> 00:04:55,380 are qualitative not quantitative we're 120 00:04:59,930 --> 00:04:57,540 not talking about facts and figures or 121 00:05:02,510 --> 00:04:59,940 elements on the periodic table we're 122 00:05:04,670 --> 00:05:02,520 talking about experiences and patterns 123 00:05:06,830 --> 00:05:04,680 we're talking about stories and 124 00:05:08,810 --> 00:05:06,840 anecdotes we're talking about the 125 00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:08,820 eyewitness accounts of people who claim 126 00:05:11,810 --> 00:05:10,560 to have actually come in contact with 127 00:05:13,969 --> 00:05:11,820 these beings 128 00:05:16,189 --> 00:05:13,979 and depending on where you are on your 129 00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:16,199 own trip down the rabbit hole those 130 00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:18,240 kinds of conversations might make you a 131 00:05:22,670 --> 00:05:19,680 little bit squeamish or uncomfortable 132 00:05:24,350 --> 00:05:22,680 and that's totally normal but if you're 133 00:05:26,270 --> 00:05:24,360 feeling that way I challenge you to 134 00:05:28,550 --> 00:05:26,280 question where that impulse comes from 135 00:05:30,110 --> 00:05:28,560 and not to let it hold you back from 136 00:05:31,249 --> 00:05:30,120 considering new viewpoints and 137 00:05:34,370 --> 00:05:31,259 perspectives 138 00:05:36,409 --> 00:05:34,380 because ultimately we need to recognize 139 00:05:39,050 --> 00:05:36,419 that being willing to entertain the 140 00:05:41,090 --> 00:05:39,060 reality of UFOs only up to the point 141 00:05:43,550 --> 00:05:41,100 that anyone actually interacts with the 142 00:05:45,830 --> 00:05:43,560 intelligence behind them isn't actually 143 00:05:47,930 --> 00:05:45,840 objective no matter how much the 144 00:05:49,370 --> 00:05:47,940 denizens of consensus reality try to 145 00:05:51,710 --> 00:05:49,380 insist that it is 146 00:05:53,450 --> 00:05:51,720 before we begin I'll also mention that 147 00:05:55,490 --> 00:05:53,460 throughout this interview Mike and I 148 00:05:58,249 --> 00:05:55,500 reference the Edgar Mitchell free study 149 00:06:00,230 --> 00:05:58,259 free stands for foundation for Research 150 00:06:02,510 --> 00:06:00,240 into extraterrestrial and extraordinary 151 00:06:04,670 --> 00:06:02,520 experiences and the study that we're 152 00:06:06,409 --> 00:06:04,680 referring to involved the largest survey 153 00:06:08,990 --> 00:06:06,419 of experiences that has been done to 154 00:06:11,090 --> 00:06:09,000 date with over 3 000 participants 155 00:06:13,430 --> 00:06:11,100 from this data they were able to pull 156 00:06:15,650 --> 00:06:13,440 valuable insights as to the types of 157 00:06:17,629 --> 00:06:15,660 experiences that people report the 158 00:06:19,790 --> 00:06:17,639 impact that it has on their lives and 159 00:06:21,770 --> 00:06:19,800 yes details about what these beings 160 00:06:24,590 --> 00:06:21,780 actually look like and what they say to 161 00:06:25,909 --> 00:06:24,600 reported contactees I'll link to that in 162 00:06:27,290 --> 00:06:25,919 the episode brief so that you can 163 00:06:28,370 --> 00:06:27,300 explore that on your own if you're 164 00:06:30,350 --> 00:06:28,380 interested 165 00:06:32,870 --> 00:06:30,360 but I just wanted to clarify that when 166 00:06:34,909 --> 00:06:32,880 you hear me mention say manted beings 167 00:06:37,129 --> 00:06:34,919 I'm not arguing for the literal 168 00:06:40,070 --> 00:06:37,139 existence of giant intelligent insects 169 00:06:41,029 --> 00:06:40,080 I'm agnostic on that as I am for most of 170 00:06:43,249 --> 00:06:41,039 this stuff 171 00:06:45,170 --> 00:06:43,259 but the fact remains that a certain 172 00:06:48,170 --> 00:06:45,180 percentage of people who report contact 173 00:06:50,330 --> 00:06:48,180 with non-human entities report seeing 174 00:06:52,370 --> 00:06:50,340 something of that nature and that's 175 00:06:55,309 --> 00:06:52,380 significant even if we don't know what 176 00:06:57,469 --> 00:06:55,319 it means and so as we dive into this 177 00:06:59,809 --> 00:06:57,479 episode I'll leave you with another and 178 00:07:01,550 --> 00:06:59,819 I'd argue much more helpful quote from 179 00:07:03,830 --> 00:07:01,560 Carl Sagan 180 00:07:06,950 --> 00:07:03,840 we wish to find the truth no matter 181 00:07:10,070 --> 00:07:06,960 where it lies but Define the truth we 182 00:07:12,469 --> 00:07:10,080 need imagination and skepticism both 183 00:07:13,969 --> 00:07:12,479 we will not be afraid to speculate but 184 00:07:16,309 --> 00:07:13,979 we will be careful to distinguish 185 00:07:18,710 --> 00:07:16,319 speculation from fact 186 00:07:20,330 --> 00:07:18,720 here is my conversation with Dr Michael 187 00:07:22,430 --> 00:07:20,340 Masters 188 00:07:25,070 --> 00:07:22,440 so for anyone listening who might not be 189 00:07:26,809 --> 00:07:25,080 familiar from a high level what is the 190 00:07:28,309 --> 00:07:26,819 Extraterrestrial model and what 191 00:07:30,290 --> 00:07:28,319 advantages does it have over the 192 00:07:32,629 --> 00:07:30,300 Extraterrestrial hypothesis 193 00:07:34,790 --> 00:07:32,639 well that's a great question thanks for 194 00:07:36,650 --> 00:07:34,800 having me on by the way it's nice to be 195 00:07:40,370 --> 00:07:36,660 here to chat with you about such things 196 00:07:42,469 --> 00:07:40,380 the extra tempestra model is really just 197 00:07:45,409 --> 00:07:42,479 a time traveling future humans 198 00:07:48,170 --> 00:07:45,419 explanation for UFO phenomenon which is 199 00:07:49,070 --> 00:07:48,180 an idea that's been around for decades 200 00:07:51,710 --> 00:07:49,080 really 201 00:07:54,350 --> 00:07:51,720 but I thought it needed a name I have 202 00:07:56,870 --> 00:07:54,360 heard it called Chrono knots and UFO 203 00:07:59,270 --> 00:07:56,880 knots and a couple others but I thought 204 00:08:01,430 --> 00:07:59,280 extra tempestra was a good way of sort 205 00:08:03,469 --> 00:08:01,440 of summing it up with one word where the 206 00:08:06,230 --> 00:08:03,479 term extraterrestrial just means off 207 00:08:07,909 --> 00:08:06,240 Earth or outside of Earth and this so 208 00:08:10,129 --> 00:08:07,919 they very well could be here on Earth 209 00:08:12,710 --> 00:08:10,139 just in a future time so we don't see 210 00:08:14,570 --> 00:08:12,720 them at this very moment but they may 211 00:08:16,790 --> 00:08:14,580 inherit the earth and live here just as 212 00:08:19,189 --> 00:08:16,800 we do now but in various times 213 00:08:21,589 --> 00:08:19,199 throughout our future so yeah by 214 00:08:23,869 --> 00:08:21,599 substituting temp for the Latin root for 215 00:08:26,689 --> 00:08:23,879 time it just indicates that they're from 216 00:08:29,390 --> 00:08:26,699 outside our position in time rather than 217 00:08:31,369 --> 00:08:29,400 being outside of our position in space 218 00:08:33,110 --> 00:08:31,379 on this planet but as I've said since 219 00:08:34,490 --> 00:08:33,120 the beginning I don't see this as 220 00:08:36,469 --> 00:08:34,500 mutually exclusive with the 221 00:08:38,089 --> 00:08:36,479 Extraterrestrial hypothesis or any 222 00:08:39,290 --> 00:08:38,099 others in fact I've come to believe 223 00:08:41,269 --> 00:08:39,300 recently 224 00:08:42,949 --> 00:08:41,279 that but you know we may be talking 225 00:08:45,290 --> 00:08:42,959 about the exact same thing as with 226 00:08:50,329 --> 00:08:45,300 crypto terrestrials Ultra terrestrials 227 00:08:52,910 --> 00:08:50,339 gin Genies fairies Angels Gods demons 228 00:08:55,430 --> 00:08:52,920 all of it I think really may just be 229 00:08:57,650 --> 00:08:55,440 some iteration of humans and when we 230 00:08:59,930 --> 00:08:57,660 interject time like I read Mac Tony's 231 00:09:02,030 --> 00:08:59,940 book recently the crypto terrestrials 232 00:09:04,130 --> 00:09:02,040 can't fight it on my bookshelf of course 233 00:09:06,230 --> 00:09:04,140 but you know I'm reading it and it's the 234 00:09:07,850 --> 00:09:06,240 exact same thing I'm arguing and we even 235 00:09:09,829 --> 00:09:07,860 have a similar writing style which kind 236 00:09:11,449 --> 00:09:09,839 of freaks me out at first but if you 237 00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:11,459 want to reject that element of time that 238 00:09:15,889 --> 00:09:13,680 fourth dimension we're saying the same 239 00:09:18,290 --> 00:09:15,899 thing you know so I think maybe if we 240 00:09:20,570 --> 00:09:18,300 step back and look at the Phenomenon 241 00:09:22,670 --> 00:09:20,580 with that perception of being able to 242 00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:22,680 move through the fourth dimension of 243 00:09:26,810 --> 00:09:24,480 time or possibly a higher Dimension that 244 00:09:28,430 --> 00:09:26,820 allows them to sort of dip in and out of 245 00:09:31,430 --> 00:09:28,440 whatever time they wish throughout their 246 00:09:33,350 --> 00:09:31,440 own past then it may help explain a lot 247 00:09:34,610 --> 00:09:33,360 of these different interpretations that 248 00:09:36,889 --> 00:09:34,620 are potentially all the same thing 249 00:09:39,310 --> 00:09:36,899 that's really interesting and it sounds 250 00:09:41,630 --> 00:09:39,320 like even with the interdimensional 251 00:09:43,430 --> 00:09:41,640 hypothesis that you know people make 252 00:09:44,990 --> 00:09:43,440 that distinction between the 253 00:09:46,850 --> 00:09:45,000 Extraterrestrial model and the 254 00:09:49,550 --> 00:09:46,860 inter-dimensional stuff but that even 255 00:09:51,470 --> 00:09:49,560 might be permutations of the same thing 256 00:09:53,449 --> 00:09:51,480 as well is that how you're beginning to 257 00:09:54,710 --> 00:09:53,459 think about it oh well the answer to 258 00:09:56,449 --> 00:09:54,720 mentioned I was always I've always 259 00:09:58,730 --> 00:09:56,459 considered that the same as this extra 260 00:10:01,250 --> 00:09:58,740 tempestral model it's just a more 261 00:10:02,210 --> 00:10:01,260 General category so people interject 262 00:10:04,250 --> 00:10:02,220 that they say oh they're 263 00:10:06,949 --> 00:10:04,260 interdimensional that doesn't answer the 264 00:10:08,030 --> 00:10:06,959 question it doesn't say who they are it 265 00:10:10,430 --> 00:10:08,040 just means they're coming through 266 00:10:12,650 --> 00:10:10,440 multiple dimensions of space and or time 267 00:10:14,210 --> 00:10:12,660 so then you have to ask well what do you 268 00:10:17,930 --> 00:10:14,220 mean by that you know are you talking 269 00:10:19,370 --> 00:10:17,940 about still individuals from off our 270 00:10:20,930 --> 00:10:19,380 planet with a separate evolutionary 271 00:10:22,370 --> 00:10:20,940 history on a different plan and a 272 00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:22,380 different solar system who are using 273 00:10:26,449 --> 00:10:24,720 different dimensions to get here or are 274 00:10:28,430 --> 00:10:26,459 we talking about future humans using 275 00:10:30,889 --> 00:10:28,440 extra Dimensions to visit their past or 276 00:10:32,690 --> 00:10:30,899 something completely outside of that you 277 00:10:35,329 --> 00:10:32,700 do have to ask though if they originate 278 00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:35,339 in a different dimension or a space with 279 00:10:39,710 --> 00:10:37,200 higher Dimensions or multiple dimensions 280 00:10:41,690 --> 00:10:39,720 of time would they look like us still 281 00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:41,700 would they be so recognizable as humans 282 00:10:46,430 --> 00:10:44,160 would their physics even work in our 283 00:10:48,590 --> 00:10:46,440 four dimensions three space one of time 284 00:10:50,449 --> 00:10:48,600 so I think there are some limitations to 285 00:10:52,069 --> 00:10:50,459 just interjecting that and it still 286 00:10:54,650 --> 00:10:52,079 doesn't answer the question you need to 287 00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:54,660 say well what are they then even if they 288 00:10:58,490 --> 00:10:56,399 are using extra Dimension so yeah I've 289 00:11:00,290 --> 00:10:58,500 always considered that the same thing 290 00:11:02,750 --> 00:11:00,300 this extra Tempest your model just a 291 00:11:04,730 --> 00:11:02,760 more specific version of that that 292 00:11:06,590 --> 00:11:04,740 indicates that their Origins are still 293 00:11:08,810 --> 00:11:06,600 Earthly and within these three 294 00:11:11,090 --> 00:11:08,820 dimensions of space just using extra 295 00:11:12,949 --> 00:11:11,100 dimensions of time or possibly some 296 00:11:14,329 --> 00:11:12,959 fifth dimension of space time that we 297 00:11:16,910 --> 00:11:14,339 don't understand but currently there's 298 00:11:19,250 --> 00:11:16,920 no evidence to suggest there there are 299 00:11:21,410 --> 00:11:19,260 multiple universes or any anything like 300 00:11:24,829 --> 00:11:21,420 that theoretically there are extra 301 00:11:26,930 --> 00:11:24,839 Dimensions beyond our four but they're 302 00:11:28,730 --> 00:11:26,940 still not abroad consensus on that or 303 00:11:31,250 --> 00:11:28,740 whether or not we could ever find them 304 00:11:34,190 --> 00:11:31,260 and study them if they do exist 305 00:11:36,590 --> 00:11:34,200 so what are the biological and social 306 00:11:38,030 --> 00:11:36,600 trends in the evolution of humans that 307 00:11:40,610 --> 00:11:38,040 lead you to believe that the beings 308 00:11:42,290 --> 00:11:40,620 being reported by many contactees might 309 00:11:44,449 --> 00:11:42,300 actually be us from another point in 310 00:11:46,670 --> 00:11:44,459 time I'm glad you added social to that 311 00:11:49,610 --> 00:11:46,680 too because you know we can't separate 312 00:11:51,889 --> 00:11:49,620 the tomb in human evolution we're unique 313 00:11:53,930 --> 00:11:51,899 in that respect and if you look at the 314 00:11:57,470 --> 00:11:53,940 history of humanity we refer to it as 315 00:11:59,269 --> 00:11:57,480 biocultural Evolution biosocial because 316 00:12:01,009 --> 00:11:59,279 the two are inseparable once we 317 00:12:04,190 --> 00:12:01,019 developed culture once we started use 318 00:12:07,310 --> 00:12:04,200 stone tools and fire and all kinds of 319 00:12:10,250 --> 00:12:07,320 various iterations of stone and wood and 320 00:12:12,710 --> 00:12:10,260 ivory really it had such a massive 321 00:12:14,569 --> 00:12:12,720 impact on our physiology that we can't 322 00:12:16,610 --> 00:12:14,579 look at human evolution without that 323 00:12:19,009 --> 00:12:16,620 like we can study the biology of other 324 00:12:21,110 --> 00:12:19,019 organisms we don't have to focus on 325 00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:21,120 culture because it wasn't fundamental to 326 00:12:25,190 --> 00:12:22,800 their evolutionary trajectory but with 327 00:12:27,949 --> 00:12:25,200 humans it was a good example is when we 328 00:12:30,410 --> 00:12:27,959 first started using fire to cook food at 329 00:12:32,449 --> 00:12:30,420 shrunk our gastrointestinal system that 330 00:12:35,530 --> 00:12:32,459 in conjunction with using tools to 331 00:12:37,790 --> 00:12:35,540 process the food especially fibrous meat 332 00:12:39,350 --> 00:12:37,800 products fire kind of starts the 333 00:12:41,630 --> 00:12:39,360 digestive process or whole 334 00:12:43,730 --> 00:12:41,640 gastrointestinal system shrunk it helped 335 00:12:46,190 --> 00:12:43,740 contribute more energy to the brain 336 00:12:48,889 --> 00:12:46,200 Leslie Aiello's expensive tissue 337 00:12:50,750 --> 00:12:48,899 hypothesis so really the two are 338 00:12:53,509 --> 00:12:50,760 intricately linked but even before 339 00:12:55,490 --> 00:12:53,519 culture some of the most dominant Trends 340 00:12:58,009 --> 00:12:55,500 the first iterations of culture some 341 00:13:00,110 --> 00:12:58,019 debate about that was between 3 and 3.3 342 00:13:02,389 --> 00:13:00,120 million years ago is when we find the 343 00:13:04,250 --> 00:13:02,399 first evidence of stone tools but prior 344 00:13:07,670 --> 00:13:04,260 to that we still had three million years 345 00:13:10,250 --> 00:13:07,680 of evolving Sans culture prior to 346 00:13:12,590 --> 00:13:10,260 culture and the two most dominant Trends 347 00:13:14,569 --> 00:13:12,600 not just in that pre-culture period but 348 00:13:17,210 --> 00:13:14,579 throughout the last six to eight million 349 00:13:19,009 --> 00:13:17,220 years of human evolution have been an 350 00:13:21,590 --> 00:13:19,019 increase in brain size it's roughly 351 00:13:24,290 --> 00:13:21,600 three times the size it was in our 352 00:13:26,810 --> 00:13:24,300 earliest dominant ancestors and modern 353 00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:26,820 chimpanzees around 400 cubic centimeters 354 00:13:32,030 --> 00:13:29,760 and as the brain grew and moved out 355 00:13:34,370 --> 00:13:32,040 interiorly more forward over our eye 356 00:13:36,949 --> 00:13:34,380 orbits and also expanded media laterally 357 00:13:39,290 --> 00:13:36,959 especially in the parietal lobes for the 358 00:13:41,210 --> 00:13:39,300 top and back part of the skull 359 00:13:43,610 --> 00:13:41,220 in conjunction with that we had a face 360 00:13:46,370 --> 00:13:43,620 that retracted it got smaller and 361 00:13:48,710 --> 00:13:46,380 retracted again partly because of tools 362 00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:48,720 probably because of fire and stone tools 363 00:13:54,470 --> 00:13:51,360 where we relieved pressure for large 364 00:13:56,389 --> 00:13:54,480 teeth masticatory muscles large chewing 365 00:13:58,129 --> 00:13:56,399 apparatus so the face could get out of 366 00:13:59,569 --> 00:13:58,139 the way of an expanding brain and that's 367 00:14:01,970 --> 00:13:59,579 exactly what happened so we have this 368 00:14:04,670 --> 00:14:01,980 trade-off between our brains and our 369 00:14:06,590 --> 00:14:04,680 faces and so this is kind of the main 370 00:14:09,350 --> 00:14:06,600 way I approached it for my first book 371 00:14:11,990 --> 00:14:09,360 identified flying objects where if those 372 00:14:14,509 --> 00:14:12,000 same Trends continue regardless of what 373 00:14:16,610 --> 00:14:14,519 sort of continued social pressures or 374 00:14:18,610 --> 00:14:16,620 political or economic or environmental 375 00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:18,620 pressures occur this same 376 00:14:23,030 --> 00:14:21,360 fundamental change in human evolution 377 00:14:25,250 --> 00:14:23,040 that's occurred for six to eight million 378 00:14:26,990 --> 00:14:25,260 years if it continues we're very likely 379 00:14:28,790 --> 00:14:27,000 to possess the same cranial facial 380 00:14:30,530 --> 00:14:28,800 architectures is quintessential gray 381 00:14:31,430 --> 00:14:30,540 alien so that was kind of the starting 382 00:14:34,129 --> 00:14:31,440 point 383 00:14:36,889 --> 00:14:34,139 for that theory I realized after 384 00:14:39,769 --> 00:14:36,899 publishing that book that there's a huge 385 00:14:41,569 --> 00:14:39,779 number of cases where it's people just 386 00:14:43,490 --> 00:14:41,579 like us it's modern humans and I 387 00:14:45,590 --> 00:14:43,500 reference the doctor Edgar Mitchell free 388 00:14:48,949 --> 00:14:45,600 study relatively often because it's the 389 00:14:51,350 --> 00:14:48,959 only large survey based study that gives 390 00:14:53,410 --> 00:14:51,360 us some results that are quite 391 00:14:56,090 --> 00:14:53,420 informative it's a multi-language 392 00:14:57,769 --> 00:14:56,100 Multicultural survey study and obviously 393 00:15:00,170 --> 00:14:57,779 there's issues with surveys that we 394 00:15:02,150 --> 00:15:00,180 could get into but but something like 395 00:15:04,189 --> 00:15:02,160 this that arguiled arguably the best we 396 00:15:06,650 --> 00:15:04,199 can do right now until we can set up 397 00:15:08,990 --> 00:15:06,660 cameras in every abductee's bedroom and 398 00:15:11,030 --> 00:15:09,000 really study the physiological form of 399 00:15:12,590 --> 00:15:11,040 these beings during an abduction 400 00:15:15,290 --> 00:15:12,600 but what they found is that the most 401 00:15:17,990 --> 00:15:15,300 commonly reported form is human just 402 00:15:20,210 --> 00:15:18,000 like us an actual anatomically modern 403 00:15:22,430 --> 00:15:20,220 homo sapien sapien and then after that 404 00:15:25,250 --> 00:15:22,440 was a short graze tall Grays and then 405 00:15:28,430 --> 00:15:25,260 hybrid some iteration of those in 406 00:15:29,810 --> 00:15:28,440 combination and as I often point out all 407 00:15:32,329 --> 00:15:29,820 four of those 408 00:15:33,769 --> 00:15:32,339 are by definition hominin they are 409 00:15:37,009 --> 00:15:33,779 within our lineage they're upright 410 00:15:38,930 --> 00:15:37,019 walking bipedal hominin so I think 411 00:15:41,569 --> 00:15:38,940 that's important to note that and also 412 00:15:43,370 --> 00:15:41,579 just how many really are us they look 413 00:15:45,410 --> 00:15:43,380 like us talking about the social and 414 00:15:47,329 --> 00:15:45,420 cultural things when abduct views are 415 00:15:50,030 --> 00:15:47,339 given tours of The Craft they have 416 00:15:53,090 --> 00:15:50,040 kitchens and bathrooms bedrooms and 417 00:15:54,650 --> 00:15:53,100 control rooms and medical examination 418 00:15:57,290 --> 00:15:54,660 rooms all the same things you'd expect 419 00:15:59,629 --> 00:15:57,300 us to have in a craft like that is 420 00:16:01,009 --> 00:15:59,639 modern human so I think yeah I think 421 00:16:02,930 --> 00:16:01,019 there's a lot of things that indicate 422 00:16:05,269 --> 00:16:02,940 that they are us and especially the ones 423 00:16:07,610 --> 00:16:05,279 that low can act just like us that was a 424 00:16:09,110 --> 00:16:07,620 part of my second book was to walk that 425 00:16:10,850 --> 00:16:09,120 back you know I was just talking about 426 00:16:13,009 --> 00:16:10,860 the Grays primarily 427 00:16:15,710 --> 00:16:13,019 in the first book but to walk that back 428 00:16:17,689 --> 00:16:15,720 and cover a broad geographic area 429 00:16:20,449 --> 00:16:17,699 there's five continents over 90 plus 430 00:16:22,069 --> 00:16:20,459 years of contact the experiences and 431 00:16:24,470 --> 00:16:22,079 what do people see you know yes there 432 00:16:27,350 --> 00:16:24,480 are archetypal Grays but also people 433 00:16:28,850 --> 00:16:27,360 just like us who are seen exercising 434 00:16:30,829 --> 00:16:28,860 outside their ships and collecting 435 00:16:33,829 --> 00:16:30,839 Grasshoppers and really mundane things 436 00:16:35,629 --> 00:16:33,839 like that that is really interesting in 437 00:16:38,269 --> 00:16:35,639 your second book the extra tempestrial 438 00:16:40,430 --> 00:16:38,279 model you talk about what we can learn 439 00:16:41,930 --> 00:16:40,440 from early interactions between old 440 00:16:44,269 --> 00:16:41,940 world and New World indigenous 441 00:16:46,850 --> 00:16:44,279 populations that came into contact with 442 00:16:48,290 --> 00:16:46,860 each other and how we might respond to 443 00:16:50,810 --> 00:16:48,300 encountering a more technologically 444 00:16:52,009 --> 00:16:50,820 advanced version of ourselves and I was 445 00:16:53,389 --> 00:16:52,019 wondering if you could talk about that a 446 00:16:56,030 --> 00:16:53,399 little because even in this situation 447 00:16:58,009 --> 00:16:56,040 where people are seeing a being that 448 00:17:00,470 --> 00:16:58,019 they identify as looking just like us 449 00:17:02,569 --> 00:17:00,480 and yet as a result of Technology we 450 00:17:05,689 --> 00:17:02,579 kind of place them in the role of the 451 00:17:08,270 --> 00:17:05,699 other yeah no gods angels that was the 452 00:17:10,370 --> 00:17:08,280 focus of this most recent book too that 453 00:17:12,409 --> 00:17:10,380 you know the interpretation of these 454 00:17:13,669 --> 00:17:12,419 beings these humans as I would argue is 455 00:17:15,169 --> 00:17:13,679 going to be different even if it's the 456 00:17:17,150 --> 00:17:15,179 same ones let's say it's the exact same 457 00:17:19,069 --> 00:17:17,160 ones as a little thought experiment 458 00:17:20,510 --> 00:17:19,079 who happened a ship from right now you 459 00:17:22,189 --> 00:17:20,520 know where are the aliens we're the ones 460 00:17:25,610 --> 00:17:22,199 traveling back in time 461 00:17:28,669 --> 00:17:25,620 you go back 10 minutes you're gonna look 462 00:17:31,730 --> 00:17:28,679 like everybody else 20 years 463 00:17:33,590 --> 00:17:31,740 50 years 100 years but once you do start 464 00:17:35,630 --> 00:17:33,600 getting into the thousands yeah 465 00:17:37,789 --> 00:17:35,640 especially when you focus on the culture 466 00:17:41,029 --> 00:17:37,799 and Technology of those times it's going 467 00:17:42,650 --> 00:17:41,039 to be Godlike that's magical to them and 468 00:17:44,810 --> 00:17:42,660 even ones that could walk around you put 469 00:17:46,730 --> 00:17:44,820 on the clothes of those people you know 470 00:17:48,110 --> 00:17:46,740 we haven't evolved this capacity yet at 471 00:17:50,710 --> 00:17:48,120 least most of us haven't some 472 00:17:53,770 --> 00:17:50,720 individuals have but the ability for 473 00:17:56,630 --> 00:17:53,780 telepathic communication remote viewing 474 00:17:58,610 --> 00:17:56,640 Clairvoyance future knowledge seemingly 475 00:18:00,470 --> 00:17:58,620 a lot of these beings even ones who 476 00:18:02,450 --> 00:18:00,480 aren't quite to the gray level have that 477 00:18:04,909 --> 00:18:02,460 capacity and if we did that if we had 478 00:18:06,830 --> 00:18:04,919 that now and we can go back and interact 479 00:18:08,690 --> 00:18:06,840 with the minds of these individuals 480 00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:08,700 without talking that's a very Angelic 481 00:18:13,250 --> 00:18:11,100 god-like thing to do and they need to 482 00:18:15,710 --> 00:18:13,260 start technology alone would give us 483 00:18:18,950 --> 00:18:15,720 status there's that cliche example of 484 00:18:21,590 --> 00:18:18,960 the white Europeans coming across and 485 00:18:23,570 --> 00:18:21,600 taking over the Aztecs the Mayan the 486 00:18:25,549 --> 00:18:23,580 Olmec all these different civilizations 487 00:18:27,350 --> 00:18:25,559 I guess the Olmec became the Aztecs but 488 00:18:28,789 --> 00:18:27,360 they were largely able to do that 489 00:18:30,529 --> 00:18:28,799 because of how they were perceived and 490 00:18:32,270 --> 00:18:30,539 then this hierarchical structure of 491 00:18:34,250 --> 00:18:32,280 their civilizations where you take out 492 00:18:36,110 --> 00:18:34,260 the individual at the top and plant 493 00:18:39,409 --> 00:18:36,120 yourself in that lead position and now 494 00:18:40,909 --> 00:18:39,419 you control the population save for some 495 00:18:42,950 --> 00:18:40,919 of those that aren't as accepting of 496 00:18:44,270 --> 00:18:42,960 your new position of power over them but 497 00:18:46,010 --> 00:18:44,280 they could do that because of the 498 00:18:48,529 --> 00:18:46,020 technological differences fortunately 499 00:18:51,169 --> 00:18:48,539 these don't seem to be doing that 500 00:18:54,110 --> 00:18:51,179 they're not taking over past groups and 501 00:18:56,090 --> 00:18:54,120 when slaving us and making us build 502 00:18:58,610 --> 00:18:56,100 things and toil in the fields but they 503 00:19:01,250 --> 00:18:58,620 could if they wanted regardless we still 504 00:19:04,070 --> 00:19:01,260 see them as Godlike there's been a lot 505 00:19:06,169 --> 00:19:04,080 of even recent UFO Cults UFO religions 506 00:19:09,590 --> 00:19:06,179 and yeah you take it back even further 507 00:19:11,510 --> 00:19:09,600 with continuing the r technology example 508 00:19:13,789 --> 00:19:11,520 that I sort of tangentially straight 509 00:19:15,230 --> 00:19:13,799 away from there sorry about that we're 510 00:19:17,330 --> 00:19:15,240 going to be perceived differently in 511 00:19:19,730 --> 00:19:17,340 each of these previous iterations of 512 00:19:20,810 --> 00:19:19,740 human existence and you go back Twenty 513 00:19:22,250 --> 00:19:20,820 Thousand Years thirty thousand years 514 00:19:24,890 --> 00:19:22,260 forty thousand years now it's 515 00:19:26,570 --> 00:19:24,900 unfathomable what we're doing who we are 516 00:19:28,789 --> 00:19:26,580 when we're seeing coming down from the 517 00:19:31,070 --> 00:19:28,799 sky in each of these situations because 518 00:19:33,049 --> 00:19:31,080 the craft fly so you can understand 519 00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:33,059 where the Extraterrestrial hypothesis 520 00:19:37,610 --> 00:19:35,520 came from you associate these craft with 521 00:19:39,110 --> 00:19:37,620 the Stars they're star people as they're 522 00:19:41,930 --> 00:19:39,120 known in a lot of Native American 523 00:19:44,810 --> 00:19:41,940 societies even things like the wheel 524 00:19:47,330 --> 00:19:44,820 within the wheel the burning embers and 525 00:19:49,610 --> 00:19:47,340 Ezekiel story there's so many accounts 526 00:19:52,250 --> 00:19:49,620 like that and if we step back and look 527 00:19:54,950 --> 00:19:52,260 at those I talked about Baba Moana where 528 00:19:57,710 --> 00:19:54,960 ASA in my second book The Rain goddess 529 00:19:59,450 --> 00:19:57,720 is this traditional Tale in East Africa 530 00:20:01,250 --> 00:19:59,460 and you see those all over the place 531 00:20:04,310 --> 00:20:01,260 because of people have been interacting 532 00:20:06,049 --> 00:20:04,320 these god-like beams they're gonna write 533 00:20:08,330 --> 00:20:06,059 that down they're gonna store that in 534 00:20:10,669 --> 00:20:08,340 oral tradition or if they have writing 535 00:20:12,830 --> 00:20:10,679 hieroglyphs written history but even 536 00:20:14,330 --> 00:20:12,840 through song and oral tradition you can 537 00:20:16,130 --> 00:20:14,340 pass things down for thousands and 538 00:20:18,169 --> 00:20:16,140 thousands of years and I think if we 539 00:20:20,450 --> 00:20:18,179 look at at these and take them seriously 540 00:20:22,250 --> 00:20:20,460 and see these patterns across them I 541 00:20:25,310 --> 00:20:22,260 think it'll reveal that the phenomenon 542 00:20:27,169 --> 00:20:25,320 has been with us for eons just like so 543 00:20:29,210 --> 00:20:27,179 many have said before Jacques valet and 544 00:20:31,190 --> 00:20:29,220 countless others and yeah what if it's 545 00:20:32,870 --> 00:20:31,200 the same thing just observed and 546 00:20:35,630 --> 00:20:32,880 interpreted by different societies 547 00:20:38,210 --> 00:20:35,640 because they are in this stage of 548 00:20:39,409 --> 00:20:38,220 evolution that predates their ability to 549 00:20:41,210 --> 00:20:39,419 comprehend that we're still there 550 00:20:43,909 --> 00:20:41,220 apparently we still haven't quite 551 00:20:45,350 --> 00:20:43,919 cracked the code as a species yet but I 552 00:20:46,850 --> 00:20:45,360 think we're close and honestly I think 553 00:20:48,470 --> 00:20:46,860 that has a lot to do with what we're 554 00:20:49,909 --> 00:20:48,480 seeing now with the current disclosure 555 00:20:51,590 --> 00:20:49,919 movement 556 00:20:54,169 --> 00:20:51,600 it's really interesting and you think 557 00:20:57,409 --> 00:20:54,179 about even now on our planet the kind of 558 00:20:59,390 --> 00:20:57,419 spread that we have technologically like 559 00:21:01,970 --> 00:20:59,400 there's undiscovered tribes in the 560 00:21:03,529 --> 00:21:01,980 rainforest and on islands that are 561 00:21:06,409 --> 00:21:03,539 living at kind of a stone age level 562 00:21:09,710 --> 00:21:06,419 while we're taking people to the moon so 563 00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:09,720 yeah I have to wonder to see how those 564 00:21:13,130 --> 00:21:11,280 interactions go you know there seems to 565 00:21:13,970 --> 00:21:13,140 be a pretty large spread even in what we 566 00:21:15,830 --> 00:21:13,980 know about 567 00:21:17,330 --> 00:21:15,840 yeah and I think that's I had never 568 00:21:18,890 --> 00:21:17,340 thought about that before but that's a 569 00:21:21,470 --> 00:21:18,900 great analogy for likely what we're 570 00:21:23,270 --> 00:21:21,480 seeing going back through time where you 571 00:21:25,610 --> 00:21:23,280 know we have this snapshot in time now 572 00:21:27,529 --> 00:21:25,620 we like to think of everyone across the 573 00:21:29,990 --> 00:21:27,539 world as flying in airplanes and driving 574 00:21:32,350 --> 00:21:30,000 fast cars but that's not the case but we 575 00:21:34,490 --> 00:21:32,360 have quite a huge spread of cultural 576 00:21:36,830 --> 00:21:34,500 technological advancement we don't make 577 00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:36,840 distinctions an anthropological circles 578 00:21:40,130 --> 00:21:38,640 anymore about first world second world 579 00:21:41,990 --> 00:21:40,140 third world because it implies some sort 580 00:21:44,210 --> 00:21:42,000 of ranking system but there's 581 00:21:46,250 --> 00:21:44,220 undoubtedly a vast amount of cultural 582 00:21:48,529 --> 00:21:46,260 variation that's in fact one of the ways 583 00:21:50,810 --> 00:21:48,539 we know that our biology doesn't dictate 584 00:21:52,970 --> 00:21:50,820 our culture is that biology changes very 585 00:21:55,430 --> 00:21:52,980 slowly subject to the laws of natural 586 00:21:57,950 --> 00:21:55,440 selection and culture changes almost 587 00:21:59,810 --> 00:21:57,960 instantly anymore you know somebody does 588 00:22:02,270 --> 00:21:59,820 a new tick tock dance and it's viral 589 00:22:03,470 --> 00:22:02,280 across the world and a day or two it's 590 00:22:05,570 --> 00:22:03,480 true 591 00:22:08,810 --> 00:22:05,580 in the extra-term Pastoral model you 592 00:22:11,149 --> 00:22:08,820 write are tides atmosphere low gravity 593 00:22:14,270 --> 00:22:11,159 orbit distance from the Sun chemical 594 00:22:16,310 --> 00:22:14,280 composition abundance of carbon and DNA 595 00:22:18,710 --> 00:22:16,320 has the coding system for all life on 596 00:22:20,870 --> 00:22:18,720 Earth are additional factors that make 597 00:22:23,990 --> 00:22:20,880 it highly unlikely extraterrestrial 598 00:22:26,570 --> 00:22:24,000 beings would look walk eat drink mate 599 00:22:29,390 --> 00:22:26,580 sense think communicate or be anything 600 00:22:31,370 --> 00:22:29,400 like us and that really struck me and it 601 00:22:33,350 --> 00:22:31,380 made me wonder to what extent we'd even 602 00:22:35,930 --> 00:22:33,360 be able to recognize other intelligent 603 00:22:37,970 --> 00:22:35,940 forms of life much less communicate with 604 00:22:39,830 --> 00:22:37,980 them and maybe it's not just that the 605 00:22:41,990 --> 00:22:39,840 non-human intelligences that we're in 606 00:22:44,330 --> 00:22:42,000 contact with are in some way genetically 607 00:22:46,970 --> 00:22:44,340 related to us but maybe for us to even 608 00:22:48,830 --> 00:22:46,980 have a real shot at being aware of and 609 00:22:51,049 --> 00:22:48,840 interacting with any non-human 610 00:22:53,029 --> 00:22:51,059 intelligence like we'd almost have to 611 00:22:56,029 --> 00:22:53,039 have that kind of a profound biological 612 00:22:57,350 --> 00:22:56,039 link yeah that's a good point it was 613 00:22:59,570 --> 00:22:57,360 kind of the premise of that movie 614 00:23:01,130 --> 00:22:59,580 arrival which I finally watched not too 615 00:23:03,289 --> 00:23:01,140 long ago people been telling me to watch 616 00:23:05,029 --> 00:23:03,299 it for like two years and that's the 617 00:23:07,250 --> 00:23:05,039 whole cool issue is how do we 618 00:23:08,750 --> 00:23:07,260 communicate are they violent are they 619 00:23:10,549 --> 00:23:08,760 going to kill us even though they could 620 00:23:12,470 --> 00:23:10,559 and then they interject at a very strong 621 00:23:14,690 --> 00:23:12,480 time travel component to that too where 622 00:23:17,390 --> 00:23:14,700 they see all time at the same time 623 00:23:20,870 --> 00:23:17,400 sort of a Slaughterhouse Five situation 624 00:23:22,909 --> 00:23:20,880 and yeah the whole thing was for Amy 625 00:23:26,270 --> 00:23:22,919 Adams to figure that out to crack the 626 00:23:27,830 --> 00:23:26,280 code to break through those nuances of 627 00:23:29,330 --> 00:23:27,840 their form of communication and they 628 00:23:31,070 --> 00:23:29,340 were fundamentally different than us 629 00:23:33,350 --> 00:23:31,080 we're not talking about upright walking 630 00:23:35,570 --> 00:23:33,360 by Peter hominids like we are in this 631 00:23:38,810 --> 00:23:35,580 situation and you would expect that 632 00:23:40,850 --> 00:23:38,820 especially because the vast majority of 633 00:23:43,130 --> 00:23:40,860 Earth-like exoplanets outside of our 634 00:23:46,190 --> 00:23:43,140 solar system are massive they're much 635 00:23:48,470 --> 00:23:46,200 much larger than Earth I did a bull 636 00:23:51,830 --> 00:23:48,480 analysis of this in 2016 and then just 637 00:23:54,110 --> 00:23:51,840 did it again with new exoplanet data 638 00:23:56,990 --> 00:23:54,120 from a number of sources upwards of 639 00:23:59,450 --> 00:23:57,000 almost 6 000 exoplanets and only about 640 00:24:01,549 --> 00:23:59,460 four percent were the same size or 641 00:24:04,130 --> 00:24:01,559 smaller than Earth which indicates that 642 00:24:06,130 --> 00:24:04,140 even that gravity Factor alone not to 643 00:24:09,590 --> 00:24:06,140 mention all the other variables you just 644 00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:09,600 mentioned in asking this question it's 645 00:24:13,669 --> 00:24:11,460 gonna make for something very different 646 00:24:16,850 --> 00:24:13,679 than us and and the fact that bipedalism 647 00:24:18,830 --> 00:24:16,860 is so rare here we're the only mammal 648 00:24:21,289 --> 00:24:18,840 that does it full time out of all of the 649 00:24:22,669 --> 00:24:21,299 mammals on this planet indicates that 650 00:24:24,289 --> 00:24:22,679 it's probably not going to happen on 651 00:24:27,950 --> 00:24:24,299 planets that are heavier than ours which 652 00:24:30,409 --> 00:24:27,960 are 96 of them so yeah I think we 653 00:24:32,690 --> 00:24:30,419 definitely need to keep those things in 654 00:24:34,789 --> 00:24:32,700 mind again I I don't want to do a straw 655 00:24:36,350 --> 00:24:34,799 man fallacy thing here and say well it's 656 00:24:38,510 --> 00:24:36,360 either this or the Extraterrestrial 657 00:24:40,310 --> 00:24:38,520 hypothesis because there's probably a 658 00:24:43,669 --> 00:24:40,320 lot of things that are going on 659 00:24:45,289 --> 00:24:43,679 but if we do look at these two models in 660 00:24:47,890 --> 00:24:45,299 contrast to one another yeah we're not 661 00:24:50,630 --> 00:24:47,900 likely to have an upright walking human 662 00:24:53,330 --> 00:24:50,640 civilization that looks like us thinks 663 00:24:55,130 --> 00:24:53,340 like us as sex like us communicates like 664 00:24:57,770 --> 00:24:55,140 us there's all of these things that go 665 00:25:00,590 --> 00:24:57,780 in to what we've evolved not just 666 00:25:02,090 --> 00:25:00,600 biologically but with regard to our 667 00:25:04,190 --> 00:25:02,100 culture and system of communication 668 00:25:06,710 --> 00:25:04,200 could they even learn our language if 669 00:25:08,690 --> 00:25:06,720 they existed 2.5 million light years 670 00:25:10,190 --> 00:25:08,700 away how would they find us how would 671 00:25:12,529 --> 00:25:10,200 they get here how would they communicate 672 00:25:14,450 --> 00:25:12,539 with us these craps can obviously go 673 00:25:16,970 --> 00:25:14,460 fast I don't think that's a factor but 674 00:25:18,649 --> 00:25:16,980 how do they even identify our location 675 00:25:20,690 --> 00:25:18,659 especially because the speed of light 676 00:25:22,070 --> 00:25:20,700 would take 2.5 million years to even get 677 00:25:24,350 --> 00:25:22,080 there we're talking about 678 00:25:26,930 --> 00:25:24,360 potentially other galaxies at that point 679 00:25:29,810 --> 00:25:26,940 but even within the roughly 100 680 00:25:32,269 --> 00:25:29,820 000 late year span of our own Galaxy 681 00:25:34,070 --> 00:25:32,279 anywhere in that but you're talking 682 00:25:35,870 --> 00:25:34,080 about huge limitations with being able 683 00:25:38,390 --> 00:25:35,880 to find us then yeah as you mentioned 684 00:25:42,830 --> 00:25:38,400 communicate with us once they got here 685 00:25:46,190 --> 00:25:42,840 I have to imagine that our technology is 686 00:25:48,529 --> 00:25:46,200 in some ways really shaped by our shape 687 00:25:50,269 --> 00:25:48,539 and by the fact that we're bipedal and 688 00:25:52,070 --> 00:25:50,279 by the fact that we have to hands-free 689 00:25:54,529 --> 00:25:52,080 and that you know oh absolutely yeah 690 00:25:56,390 --> 00:25:54,539 facing eyes so do you think technology 691 00:25:58,010 --> 00:25:56,400 would look fundamentally different if it 692 00:25:59,690 --> 00:25:58,020 was created even if it could do 693 00:26:01,370 --> 00:25:59,700 analogous things by something that 694 00:26:03,649 --> 00:26:01,380 looked a lot different than we did like 695 00:26:05,210 --> 00:26:03,659 had a different body schema yeah you 696 00:26:08,330 --> 00:26:05,220 know we have this expression of biology 697 00:26:10,549 --> 00:26:08,340 that form follows function and even 698 00:26:12,950 --> 00:26:10,559 beyond having similar things like 699 00:26:14,510 --> 00:26:12,960 bathrooms and kitchens and bedrooms and 700 00:26:16,750 --> 00:26:14,520 operating tables 701 00:26:19,909 --> 00:26:16,760 that are so commonly seen in these craft 702 00:26:21,710 --> 00:26:19,919 just the fact that we're even talking 703 00:26:24,350 --> 00:26:21,720 about something that looks like 704 00:26:26,330 --> 00:26:24,360 something we would or could use you know 705 00:26:28,610 --> 00:26:26,340 what if they had tentacles what if they 706 00:26:31,010 --> 00:26:28,620 had eight limbs and no legs or they 707 00:26:32,690 --> 00:26:31,020 floated instead of walked where we 708 00:26:35,870 --> 00:26:32,700 wouldn't expect to see something that we 709 00:26:37,789 --> 00:26:35,880 can just walk in and walk around on go 710 00:26:39,169 --> 00:26:37,799 make a grilled cheese sandwich in their 711 00:26:40,370 --> 00:26:39,179 kitchen and take a dump in their 712 00:26:41,690 --> 00:26:40,380 bathrooms like we're talking about 713 00:26:44,330 --> 00:26:41,700 something that's going to be very 714 00:26:46,490 --> 00:26:44,340 different and that's part of why I've 715 00:26:49,810 --> 00:26:46,500 said since the beginning that if they 716 00:26:52,430 --> 00:26:49,820 were described as floating tentacle 717 00:26:55,430 --> 00:26:52,440 Berry and beans I never would have even 718 00:26:57,890 --> 00:26:55,440 given this a second thought but because 719 00:26:59,870 --> 00:26:57,900 they're described so often as human in 720 00:27:02,690 --> 00:26:59,880 almost every instance there's only five 721 00:27:04,269 --> 00:27:02,700 percent and that Dr Edgar Mitchell study 722 00:27:07,370 --> 00:27:04,279 where they were described as something 723 00:27:09,049 --> 00:27:07,380 fundamentally non-human so yeah I think 724 00:27:11,690 --> 00:27:09,059 we definitely need to keep that in mind 725 00:27:13,850 --> 00:27:11,700 you know there's a show that I forget 726 00:27:14,990 --> 00:27:13,860 Will Robinson I think was the main 727 00:27:17,330 --> 00:27:15,000 character 728 00:27:19,010 --> 00:27:17,340 than that I don't remember it's kind of 729 00:27:21,049 --> 00:27:19,020 an old I think it was an old boat Lost 730 00:27:22,730 --> 00:27:21,059 in Space is that one yeah I think that 731 00:27:25,070 --> 00:27:22,740 was it yeah which is so it's really good 732 00:27:27,590 --> 00:27:25,080 I think it's made for like kids but it 733 00:27:29,570 --> 00:27:27,600 was really a good series and they had 734 00:27:32,029 --> 00:27:29,580 this thing that was a machine his face 735 00:27:34,850 --> 00:27:32,039 was like this really trippy star system 736 00:27:37,549 --> 00:27:34,860 like one of those oldest screensavers 737 00:27:39,049 --> 00:27:37,559 from the 90s but it was still upright 738 00:27:40,610 --> 00:27:39,059 walking still at two limbs it could 739 00:27:42,769 --> 00:27:40,620 morph its body into something different 740 00:27:45,289 --> 00:27:42,779 but it flew the ship with four 741 00:27:47,930 --> 00:27:45,299 appendages upper Limbs and lower limbs 742 00:27:50,870 --> 00:27:47,940 so we do try to push that sometimes but 743 00:27:53,090 --> 00:27:50,880 you watch Star Trek or Star Wars or the 744 00:27:55,010 --> 00:27:53,100 Oroville or any of these they try to 745 00:27:57,590 --> 00:27:55,020 make something look so different from us 746 00:28:00,350 --> 00:27:57,600 but it still looks like us you know and 747 00:28:02,870 --> 00:28:00,360 they'll go to this planet which is 748 00:28:04,370 --> 00:28:02,880 allegedly many many late years away and 749 00:28:05,870 --> 00:28:04,380 they get there and it's humans that are 750 00:28:08,090 --> 00:28:05,880 identical to us that speak English with 751 00:28:09,890 --> 00:28:08,100 an American accent it's like come on you 752 00:28:12,409 --> 00:28:09,900 know try harder at least push the 753 00:28:14,630 --> 00:28:12,419 boundaries of our knowledge of evolution 754 00:28:15,769 --> 00:28:14,640 a little bit but it's hard to do that 755 00:28:17,570 --> 00:28:15,779 you know saying same thing with time 756 00:28:20,090 --> 00:28:17,580 travel it's hard to stick to the block 757 00:28:22,250 --> 00:28:20,100 Universe model of time travel when 758 00:28:23,870 --> 00:28:22,260 making a script because it's hard to be 759 00:28:26,450 --> 00:28:23,880 self-consistent even though the universe 760 00:28:28,310 --> 00:28:26,460 seemingly is it's a lot easier to 761 00:28:30,769 --> 00:28:28,320 interject change and interject different 762 00:28:32,510 --> 00:28:30,779 timelines because your storyline is 763 00:28:34,789 --> 00:28:32,520 easier to write like that but I feel 764 00:28:36,769 --> 00:28:34,799 like we should do better with both it 765 00:28:39,230 --> 00:28:36,779 should be making non-humans look like 766 00:28:41,570 --> 00:28:39,240 non-humans and we're going to write time 767 00:28:43,730 --> 00:28:41,580 travel make it a little more realistic 768 00:28:46,610 --> 00:28:43,740 in the context of the way we perceive 769 00:28:48,289 --> 00:28:46,620 them absolutely I think it's interesting 770 00:28:50,149 --> 00:28:48,299 too going back to what you were saying 771 00:28:52,909 --> 00:28:50,159 about the kinds of beings that people 772 00:28:55,909 --> 00:28:52,919 report seeing that even some of the more 773 00:28:58,310 --> 00:28:55,919 kind of exotic non-human intelligences 774 00:29:00,950 --> 00:28:58,320 like mantids even though they look very 775 00:29:03,830 --> 00:29:00,960 distinctly not human they're still kind 776 00:29:06,830 --> 00:29:03,840 of upright walking by petal you know 777 00:29:09,049 --> 00:29:06,840 yeah did they have six limbs if they had 778 00:29:11,210 --> 00:29:09,059 six limbs or an insect if they have four 779 00:29:13,190 --> 00:29:11,220 they're a tetrapod very important 780 00:29:15,950 --> 00:29:13,200 distinction I don't care how damn big 781 00:29:17,810 --> 00:29:15,960 Their Eyes Were if they have the body 782 00:29:19,070 --> 00:29:17,820 form the bowel plan as we call it the 783 00:29:21,769 --> 00:29:19,080 tetrapod then they're an Earthly 784 00:29:24,289 --> 00:29:21,779 tetrapod if they have six limbs they're 785 00:29:28,250 --> 00:29:24,299 probably an Earthly insect probably from 786 00:29:31,610 --> 00:29:28,260 an alternate Dimension it could be a 787 00:29:33,769 --> 00:29:31,620 very distant post-human civilization 788 00:29:36,049 --> 00:29:33,779 where bugs took over and 789 00:29:37,789 --> 00:29:36,059 you know figured out time trouble I I 790 00:29:40,909 --> 00:29:37,799 don't necessarily believe that but it 791 00:29:42,889 --> 00:29:40,919 has been been mentioned before 792 00:29:45,649 --> 00:29:42,899 yeah but it does at least it does at 793 00:29:47,750 --> 00:29:45,659 least suggest an earth origin 794 00:29:50,690 --> 00:29:47,760 yeah clearly not right now because we 795 00:29:52,909 --> 00:29:50,700 don't see giant mantids fortunately we 796 00:29:54,470 --> 00:29:52,919 do generally and they tend to be kind of 797 00:29:57,230 --> 00:29:54,480 they freak people out and that's another 798 00:29:58,669 --> 00:29:57,240 interesting correlation especially that 799 00:30:00,289 --> 00:29:58,679 comes out of this free study because you 800 00:30:02,389 --> 00:30:00,299 know we can always talk about anecdotal 801 00:30:05,389 --> 00:30:02,399 things but this was hit actual well 802 00:30:07,909 --> 00:30:05,399 thought out survey study and those are 803 00:30:09,289 --> 00:30:07,919 quite valid in social science and we 804 00:30:10,970 --> 00:30:09,299 shouldn't ignore that fact you know 805 00:30:13,149 --> 00:30:10,980 everybody is like well we need standards 806 00:30:15,830 --> 00:30:13,159 of evidence so we need to do 807 00:30:17,029 --> 00:30:15,840 lab-based studies with controlling all 808 00:30:20,570 --> 00:30:17,039 variables that's that's 809 00:30:22,250 --> 00:30:20,580 unrealistic with regard to most things 810 00:30:24,049 --> 00:30:22,260 and more uniquely positioned as 811 00:30:26,690 --> 00:30:24,059 anthropologists to call on that 812 00:30:28,669 --> 00:30:26,700 because we can't do that to people it's 813 00:30:31,370 --> 00:30:28,679 highly illegal and we wouldn't in the 814 00:30:33,710 --> 00:30:31,380 first place because it's unethical 815 00:30:35,810 --> 00:30:33,720 so as a result of that we have other 816 00:30:38,149 --> 00:30:35,820 ways of gathering data and we can make 817 00:30:41,450 --> 00:30:38,159 predictions and we can test those with 818 00:30:43,070 --> 00:30:41,460 the same types of statistical rigor and 819 00:30:44,930 --> 00:30:43,080 hypothesis testing that we can with 820 00:30:46,070 --> 00:30:44,940 anything else the only limitation is we 821 00:30:48,289 --> 00:30:46,080 can't say there's cause and effect 822 00:30:49,970 --> 00:30:48,299 because there's too many cofactors 823 00:30:53,269 --> 00:30:49,980 there's too many other variables but 824 00:30:55,549 --> 00:30:53,279 survey data is a legitimate way of 825 00:30:58,430 --> 00:30:55,559 conducting studies like this and they're 826 00:31:00,710 --> 00:30:58,440 up to over 5 000 individuals at this 827 00:31:03,409 --> 00:31:00,720 point but yeah they found that people 828 00:31:06,529 --> 00:31:03,419 who interact with the more human looking 829 00:31:08,450 --> 00:31:06,539 entities humans human looking humans out 830 00:31:11,330 --> 00:31:08,460 a more positive experience because you 831 00:31:13,310 --> 00:31:11,340 can sort of see yourself in them and 832 00:31:15,049 --> 00:31:13,320 arguably if they are closer to us in 833 00:31:17,810 --> 00:31:15,059 time in our future they would see more 834 00:31:20,330 --> 00:31:17,820 of us and themselves whereas if you're 835 00:31:22,730 --> 00:31:20,340 talking about very distant humans from 836 00:31:25,010 --> 00:31:22,740 tens of thousands of years in the future 837 00:31:26,930 --> 00:31:25,020 maybe longer than it might take to 838 00:31:29,389 --> 00:31:26,940 develop those big bug eyes where we 839 00:31:31,669 --> 00:31:29,399 confuse them for a praying mantis then 840 00:31:33,590 --> 00:31:31,679 yeah they see us as some primitive 841 00:31:35,810 --> 00:31:33,600 Little Ant turd from their very distant 842 00:31:37,970 --> 00:31:35,820 past and why would they care about us 843 00:31:39,710 --> 00:31:37,980 why would they give us hugs and try to 844 00:31:41,870 --> 00:31:39,720 make us feel nice about what's happening 845 00:31:44,870 --> 00:31:41,880 yeah that makes sense when you see how 846 00:31:46,850 --> 00:31:44,880 lee tree animals and beings that we feel 847 00:31:49,250 --> 00:31:46,860 don't have quite the same level of 848 00:31:50,930 --> 00:31:49,260 advancement that we have yeah looking at 849 00:31:53,570 --> 00:31:50,940 Primate Research is a great example 850 00:31:56,570 --> 00:31:53,580 that's just recently that we started to 851 00:31:58,970 --> 00:31:56,580 Outlaw doing scientific research on the 852 00:32:01,549 --> 00:31:58,980 hominoids which includes orangutans 853 00:32:04,250 --> 00:32:01,559 gorillas chimpanzees bonobo and common 854 00:32:07,130 --> 00:32:04,260 chimpanzees yeah it's still only 26 855 00:32:08,810 --> 00:32:07,140 countries who have outlawed that mccax 856 00:32:10,490 --> 00:32:08,820 get used for everything these poor 857 00:32:12,889 --> 00:32:10,500 little bastards get all kinds of things 858 00:32:15,110 --> 00:32:12,899 shoved into them and shot up with AIDS 859 00:32:16,909 --> 00:32:15,120 and everything else but yeah we do it 860 00:32:18,950 --> 00:32:16,919 too absolutely where do you draw the 861 00:32:20,750 --> 00:32:18,960 line yeah exactly well this question is 862 00:32:21,830 --> 00:32:20,760 a little more off the beaten path but 863 00:32:24,049 --> 00:32:21,840 with your background I'm really 864 00:32:25,789 --> 00:32:24,059 interested to ask you this so 865 00:32:28,610 --> 00:32:25,799 the communication problem that's 866 00:32:30,529 --> 00:32:28,620 presented by non-human intelligence also 867 00:32:33,049 --> 00:32:30,539 makes me wonder if what we're seeing 868 00:32:35,810 --> 00:32:33,059 with these humanoid entities might be 869 00:32:37,730 --> 00:32:35,820 some kind of like biomimicry intended to 870 00:32:39,769 --> 00:32:37,740 serve as an interface between us and an 871 00:32:42,230 --> 00:32:39,779 intelligence that's too unlike us for us 872 00:32:44,029 --> 00:32:42,240 to process it in any other way in 873 00:32:46,070 --> 00:32:44,039 interviews Gary Nolan has posed a 874 00:32:47,810 --> 00:32:46,080 thought experiment of how would you 875 00:32:50,510 --> 00:32:47,820 communicate with an ant colony that's 876 00:32:51,769 --> 00:32:50,520 living in your backyard and so maybe you 877 00:32:53,930 --> 00:32:51,779 would need something that looked enough 878 00:32:56,930 --> 00:32:53,940 like an ant for an ant to communicate 879 00:32:58,250 --> 00:32:56,940 with it but enough not like an ant so 880 00:33:00,350 --> 00:32:58,260 that it got the idea that it was 881 00:33:02,330 --> 00:33:00,360 something other what do you make of that 882 00:33:04,909 --> 00:33:02,340 idea and do you think it's possible that 883 00:33:06,409 --> 00:33:04,919 maybe more exotic forms of non-human 884 00:33:08,630 --> 00:33:06,419 intelligences that might be coming from 885 00:33:11,029 --> 00:33:08,640 somewhere else could be using some form 886 00:33:12,830 --> 00:33:11,039 of biomimicry to communicate with 887 00:33:16,009 --> 00:33:12,840 yeah I listened to that that's from 888 00:33:18,590 --> 00:33:16,019 assault talked I Believe by the way they 889 00:33:21,169 --> 00:33:18,600 call him Harry Nolan and Russia which I 890 00:33:22,789 --> 00:33:21,179 think is fun directing them on that but 891 00:33:24,830 --> 00:33:22,799 they didn't stick 892 00:33:26,990 --> 00:33:24,840 yeah so I listened to that in the 893 00:33:29,090 --> 00:33:27,000 airport recently I think not long after 894 00:33:31,190 --> 00:33:29,100 it came out my first thought was why not 895 00:33:33,409 --> 00:33:31,200 make them look exactly like us then if 896 00:33:35,870 --> 00:33:33,419 they can well why make all these 897 00:33:38,389 --> 00:33:35,880 different versions and with some that 898 00:33:40,310 --> 00:33:38,399 have very shocking mantis-like 899 00:33:42,950 --> 00:33:40,320 characteristics why not if they're 900 00:33:45,830 --> 00:33:42,960 focused on a specific group of people on 901 00:33:47,450 --> 00:33:45,840 a specific Planet at a specific time as 902 00:33:49,130 --> 00:33:47,460 extraterrestrials who have the ability 903 00:33:51,350 --> 00:33:49,140 to make something look kind of like us 904 00:33:53,450 --> 00:33:51,360 and communicate with us like us why not 905 00:33:55,070 --> 00:33:53,460 make them look exactly like us if 906 00:33:57,289 --> 00:33:55,080 they're Advanced creatures that have 907 00:34:00,110 --> 00:33:57,299 that technology I think they would 908 00:34:03,409 --> 00:34:00,120 but the variation unto itself 909 00:34:05,810 --> 00:34:03,419 seems to indicate that it is different 910 00:34:07,970 --> 00:34:05,820 iterations of humans from different 911 00:34:11,149 --> 00:34:07,980 times with that said 912 00:34:12,889 --> 00:34:11,159 I do definitely agree that if you're 913 00:34:14,089 --> 00:34:12,899 gonna send something back to a certain 914 00:34:16,369 --> 00:34:14,099 time 915 00:34:18,950 --> 00:34:16,379 especially early on 916 00:34:21,710 --> 00:34:18,960 there are inherent dangers associated 917 00:34:24,710 --> 00:34:21,720 with that it's hard enough to fly things 918 00:34:26,389 --> 00:34:24,720 through space with our normal perception 919 00:34:28,609 --> 00:34:26,399 of the passage of the fourth dimension 920 00:34:30,950 --> 00:34:28,619 but when you're dropping things in and 921 00:34:32,750 --> 00:34:30,960 out a four-dimensional space time 922 00:34:35,389 --> 00:34:32,760 appearing and disappearing there's 923 00:34:36,950 --> 00:34:35,399 undoubtedly four or more things you have 924 00:34:38,629 --> 00:34:36,960 to account for and I think that does 925 00:34:41,030 --> 00:34:38,639 help explain why they crash I think 926 00:34:41,990 --> 00:34:41,040 human fallibility helps explain why they 927 00:34:46,129 --> 00:34:42,000 crash 928 00:34:48,230 --> 00:34:46,139 but yeah why not make AI in the form of 929 00:34:50,149 --> 00:34:48,240 yourself which we do now let's go back 930 00:34:51,770 --> 00:34:50,159 to that analogy earlier where we're 931 00:34:53,270 --> 00:34:51,780 talking about us get on these ships and 932 00:34:55,310 --> 00:34:53,280 going back and exploring all these 933 00:34:59,290 --> 00:34:55,320 different groups if you had to go back 934 00:35:02,750 --> 00:34:59,300 and pick up a couple of 200 pound 935 00:35:05,630 --> 00:35:02,760 neanderthals with Spears and fight or 936 00:35:07,490 --> 00:35:05,640 flight responses are you going to want 937 00:35:08,990 --> 00:35:07,500 to go out there and do that yourself or 938 00:35:11,569 --> 00:35:09,000 are you going to want to maybe employ 939 00:35:14,510 --> 00:35:11,579 some artificial intelligence some big 940 00:35:16,250 --> 00:35:14,520 strong robots to go do that for you and 941 00:35:19,190 --> 00:35:16,260 I think a modern example is the 942 00:35:21,650 --> 00:35:19,200 Pascagoula encounter with Calvin Parker 943 00:35:23,510 --> 00:35:21,660 and Hixson where they were taken by 944 00:35:25,910 --> 00:35:23,520 robots at first they saw humans in the 945 00:35:27,829 --> 00:35:25,920 craft but their initial abduction was 946 00:35:29,990 --> 00:35:27,839 arguably a robot not even one that 947 00:35:31,430 --> 00:35:30,000 looked like a human which I think is 948 00:35:32,710 --> 00:35:31,440 interesting I think that implies that 949 00:35:34,970 --> 00:35:32,720 they're from a more 950 00:35:38,109 --> 00:35:34,980 approximate period in our future but 951 00:35:41,810 --> 00:35:38,119 Whitley strieber thinks he was initially 952 00:35:43,250 --> 00:35:41,820 taken by an AI that looks like these 953 00:35:46,490 --> 00:35:43,260 gray so I think they make them in their 954 00:35:49,069 --> 00:35:46,500 own image they don't really try to build 955 00:35:50,870 --> 00:35:49,079 them to specific time periods which I 956 00:35:51,890 --> 00:35:50,880 think you would see if they cared about 957 00:35:54,530 --> 00:35:51,900 that 958 00:35:56,210 --> 00:35:54,540 more or if they were extraterrestrial 959 00:35:57,890 --> 00:35:56,220 and we're trying to come to a certain 960 00:35:58,790 --> 00:35:57,900 place at a certain time and make 961 00:36:00,170 --> 00:35:58,800 something that could be that 962 00:36:01,970 --> 00:36:00,180 intermediate I don't think they need one 963 00:36:04,069 --> 00:36:01,980 because we're not ants 964 00:36:05,810 --> 00:36:04,079 where people and their people 965 00:36:07,730 --> 00:36:05,820 so I don't think that's necessarily an 966 00:36:09,589 --> 00:36:07,740 aspect of the communication thing I do 967 00:36:10,910 --> 00:36:09,599 think that it may be an aspect of what 968 00:36:15,589 --> 00:36:10,920 they're doing 969 00:36:18,650 --> 00:36:15,599 we're already doing it we're already 970 00:36:21,109 --> 00:36:18,660 making robots to look like us 971 00:36:22,910 --> 00:36:21,119 probably mostly for the sex industry to 972 00:36:24,950 --> 00:36:22,920 be honest there's been a lot of 973 00:36:27,290 --> 00:36:24,960 indications of that throughout the 974 00:36:29,810 --> 00:36:27,300 recent past there is what was that at 975 00:36:31,609 --> 00:36:29,820 that movie cause horrible movie I think 976 00:36:33,650 --> 00:36:31,619 it might have been called AI out here 977 00:36:36,410 --> 00:36:33,660 with that kid from The Sixth Sense and 978 00:36:38,990 --> 00:36:36,420 the sexy British guy forget his name 979 00:36:40,849 --> 00:36:39,000 Jude Law I think was in it but yeah it 980 00:36:42,710 --> 00:36:40,859 was you know they were all sex robots 981 00:36:43,910 --> 00:36:42,720 and they're all these places people 982 00:36:46,670 --> 00:36:43,920 could go and then you'd have to worry 983 00:36:49,430 --> 00:36:46,680 about diseases and the ethics so sex 984 00:36:51,470 --> 00:36:49,440 trafficking and things like that so yeah 985 00:36:53,990 --> 00:36:51,480 I don't think it's just gonna be sex 986 00:36:55,670 --> 00:36:54,000 robots but they're utilitarian in a 987 00:36:57,829 --> 00:36:55,680 number of ways beyond that and I think 988 00:36:59,870 --> 00:36:57,839 once we start traveling back in time 989 00:37:01,910 --> 00:36:59,880 they're going to be even more so humans 990 00:37:04,790 --> 00:37:01,920 we are predictable if nothing else right 991 00:37:06,770 --> 00:37:04,800 yeah and it usually sucks on food and 992 00:37:09,650 --> 00:37:06,780 sex because we are animals just like 993 00:37:12,410 --> 00:37:09,660 every other yes absolutely so we've 994 00:37:15,410 --> 00:37:12,420 talked a lot about the morphology of the 995 00:37:18,470 --> 00:37:15,420 beings that people encounter but what 996 00:37:20,750 --> 00:37:18,480 Clues do we have of that the craft being 997 00:37:22,849 --> 00:37:20,760 reported might not be spacecraft but 998 00:37:25,130 --> 00:37:22,859 actually time machines well I think they 999 00:37:27,589 --> 00:37:25,140 can be both they can go very fast and 1000 00:37:29,870 --> 00:37:27,599 like I've argued for a long time if we 1001 00:37:31,310 --> 00:37:29,880 are going to do Interstellar travel we 1002 00:37:33,589 --> 00:37:31,320 would need those craft to be time 1003 00:37:36,050 --> 00:37:33,599 machines simply because of the effect of 1004 00:37:37,790 --> 00:37:36,060 time deletion how it compresses both 1005 00:37:39,650 --> 00:37:37,800 time and space for those inside the 1006 00:37:42,710 --> 00:37:39,660 crafts when they get back 1007 00:37:44,690 --> 00:37:42,720 the classic example is the twin paradox 1008 00:37:46,970 --> 00:37:44,700 where the individual stayed behind is 1009 00:37:49,130 --> 00:37:46,980 much older because time passed faster 1010 00:37:52,130 --> 00:37:49,140 back on their home planet than it did 1011 00:37:53,569 --> 00:37:52,140 for the twin that was in the ship so if 1012 00:37:55,670 --> 00:37:53,579 you wanted to return not just your home 1013 00:37:57,710 --> 00:37:55,680 planet but your home time you would need 1014 00:38:00,770 --> 00:37:57,720 backward time travel technology to do 1015 00:38:02,569 --> 00:38:00,780 that so I think it's probably going to 1016 00:38:04,790 --> 00:38:02,579 be an aspect of both and I don't think 1017 00:38:07,010 --> 00:38:04,800 we'll really attempt to Interstellar 1018 00:38:08,390 --> 00:38:07,020 travel until we have that capability but 1019 00:38:11,870 --> 00:38:08,400 honestly I've come 1020 00:38:15,170 --> 00:38:11,880 to think that these these machines are 1021 00:38:17,329 --> 00:38:15,180 both inherently not just because of that 1022 00:38:19,970 --> 00:38:17,339 but because of the way they appear and 1023 00:38:22,310 --> 00:38:19,980 disappear the way they seemingly shift 1024 00:38:24,890 --> 00:38:22,320 colors the color spectrum when they're 1025 00:38:27,109 --> 00:38:24,900 powering up before guarding off or just 1026 00:38:28,490 --> 00:38:27,119 disappearing and thin air that's 1027 00:38:30,890 --> 00:38:28,500 something you would expect of a time 1028 00:38:32,210 --> 00:38:30,900 machine and then and I kind of broke 1029 00:38:35,270 --> 00:38:32,220 down the history of how we understand 1030 00:38:38,329 --> 00:38:35,280 time and how time travel might work in 1031 00:38:40,010 --> 00:38:38,339 my first book since Einstein's 1915 1032 00:38:42,950 --> 00:38:40,020 publication 1033 00:38:45,290 --> 00:38:42,960 on general relativity which laid out 10 1034 00:38:47,390 --> 00:38:45,300 field equations that have been 1035 00:38:50,030 --> 00:38:47,400 solved numerous times to demonstrate 1036 00:38:52,130 --> 00:38:50,040 that time travel is possible backward 1037 00:38:53,450 --> 00:38:52,140 time travel specifically future time 1038 00:38:56,630 --> 00:38:53,460 travel is easy 1039 00:39:01,670 --> 00:38:56,640 but then obviously we're talking about 1040 00:39:05,630 --> 00:39:01,680 1915 to 2023 still without any knowledge 1041 00:39:07,609 --> 00:39:05,640 of the Advanced Machinery that were 1042 00:39:09,109 --> 00:39:07,619 arguably seen from that future when 1043 00:39:10,550 --> 00:39:09,119 we're likely reverse engineering and 1044 00:39:12,109 --> 00:39:10,560 this is the thing that pisses me off the 1045 00:39:14,810 --> 00:39:12,119 most is people will miss this obvious 1046 00:39:17,990 --> 00:39:14,820 fact they're talking about how these 1047 00:39:20,750 --> 00:39:18,000 craft are thousands of years Beyond us 1048 00:39:23,089 --> 00:39:20,760 and we're reverse engineering in linear 1049 00:39:25,849 --> 00:39:23,099 time we're going to be flying those 1050 00:39:28,310 --> 00:39:25,859 things thousands of years in the future 1051 00:39:30,109 --> 00:39:28,320 probably a lot sooner than that but we 1052 00:39:31,670 --> 00:39:30,119 would be expected to have the technology 1053 00:39:33,170 --> 00:39:31,680 if we reverse engineer it will 1054 00:39:36,050 --> 00:39:33,180 eventually figure out how it works and 1055 00:39:37,790 --> 00:39:36,060 then use it to travel back in time and I 1056 00:39:40,190 --> 00:39:37,800 feel like it's a very obvious thing that 1057 00:39:43,250 --> 00:39:40,200 a lot of people just goes right by them 1058 00:39:45,230 --> 00:39:43,260 like yes it's more advanced than us yes 1059 00:39:48,650 --> 00:39:45,240 we have it yes we're figuring out how to 1060 00:39:50,810 --> 00:39:48,660 do it maybe that'll be us at some point 1061 00:39:52,370 --> 00:39:50,820 using that same technology and I talk 1062 00:39:53,750 --> 00:39:52,380 about this in both my books because I 1063 00:39:56,270 --> 00:39:53,760 think it's an important point but one 1064 00:39:58,490 --> 00:39:56,280 that's really commonly overlooked and in 1065 00:40:00,950 --> 00:39:58,500 people's statements about this highly 1066 00:40:02,810 --> 00:40:00,960 advanced technology that's so hard to 1067 00:40:04,250 --> 00:40:02,820 understand and certainly it was for our 1068 00:40:06,109 --> 00:40:04,260 ancestors but we're getting to the point 1069 00:40:07,430 --> 00:40:06,119 where we can start to understand it we 1070 00:40:09,650 --> 00:40:07,440 can figure out how it works even though 1071 00:40:11,210 --> 00:40:09,660 all of these secrets are being kept from 1072 00:40:12,950 --> 00:40:11,220 us because of the benefits the 1073 00:40:14,569 --> 00:40:12,960 military-industrial complex and what 1074 00:40:16,849 --> 00:40:14,579 they can get out of it in the context of 1075 00:40:17,690 --> 00:40:16,859 war and other predictable thing sex food 1076 00:40:19,849 --> 00:40:17,700 War 1077 00:40:23,690 --> 00:40:19,859 which has always been the case anytime 1078 00:40:26,810 --> 00:40:23,700 any civilization any small group had 1079 00:40:29,270 --> 00:40:26,820 technology that was more advanced and 1080 00:40:31,130 --> 00:40:29,280 better killing other people than they 1081 00:40:32,930 --> 00:40:31,140 spread and that technology spread with 1082 00:40:34,970 --> 00:40:32,940 them and unfortunately it's probably 1083 00:40:37,069 --> 00:40:34,980 been the case with what's been going on 1084 00:40:39,230 --> 00:40:37,079 with the UFO cover-up over the last 90 1085 00:40:41,750 --> 00:40:39,240 years as well especially because a lot 1086 00:40:44,510 --> 00:40:41,760 of it was happening during Wars Cold War 1087 00:40:46,730 --> 00:40:44,520 World War II post-world War II and so on 1088 00:40:49,130 --> 00:40:46,740 but yeah I don't know I think there's a 1089 00:40:51,170 --> 00:40:49,140 lot of things even beyond that that 1090 00:40:53,270 --> 00:40:51,180 indicate they are time machines I list a 1091 00:40:55,730 --> 00:40:53,280 number of them in my second book just 1092 00:40:57,470 --> 00:40:55,740 like the fact that the trees were 1093 00:40:59,810 --> 00:40:57,480 allegedly the trees around the Travis 1094 00:41:01,310 --> 00:40:59,820 Walton abduction site grew at a much 1095 00:41:03,950 --> 00:41:01,320 faster rate and they could test that 1096 00:41:05,930 --> 00:41:03,960 with the tree rings around them relative 1097 00:41:09,170 --> 00:41:05,940 to trees farther away from that Linda 1098 00:41:11,690 --> 00:41:09,180 Jones and Manchester UK describes the 1099 00:41:13,190 --> 00:41:11,700 grass growing instantly around her Jim 1100 00:41:15,589 --> 00:41:13,200 peniston talks about a sphere of 1101 00:41:17,329 --> 00:41:15,599 influence around the craft where time 1102 00:41:19,730 --> 00:41:17,339 seemed to slow and then he had missing 1103 00:41:21,530 --> 00:41:19,740 time and missing time itself is I think 1104 00:41:23,569 --> 00:41:21,540 a pretty good indication that there is 1105 00:41:24,470 --> 00:41:23,579 some sort of shift in the rate at which 1106 00:41:26,750 --> 00:41:24,480 time 1107 00:41:29,510 --> 00:41:26,760 close as we perceive it in and around 1108 00:41:32,109 --> 00:41:29,520 these crafts so yeah we can only know so 1109 00:41:35,510 --> 00:41:32,119 much in this very limited 1110 00:41:36,890 --> 00:41:35,520 perspective we have in 2023 we think 1111 00:41:40,609 --> 00:41:36,900 we're so Advanced but when we're talking 1112 00:41:42,290 --> 00:41:40,619 about these highly evolved complex 1113 00:41:44,030 --> 00:41:42,300 machines or not 1114 00:41:45,470 --> 00:41:44,040 I know it may be their eventually we'll 1115 00:41:47,950 --> 00:41:45,480 look back on our understanding of time 1116 00:41:50,150 --> 00:41:47,960 now physicists don't even understand it 1117 00:41:52,430 --> 00:41:50,160 astrophysicists they can do numbers they 1118 00:41:53,810 --> 00:41:52,440 can crunch things but it's all 1119 00:41:56,150 --> 00:41:53,820 because they don't even know what the 1120 00:41:57,950 --> 00:41:56,160 fundamental nature of time is and 1121 00:42:00,410 --> 00:41:57,960 arguably States Sean Carroll says that 1122 00:42:02,630 --> 00:42:00,420 all the time space might also be an 1123 00:42:04,430 --> 00:42:02,640 emergent phenomenon then they get all 1124 00:42:06,349 --> 00:42:04,440 like with everybody like we know 1125 00:42:08,210 --> 00:42:06,359 everything and I think it's kind of a 1126 00:42:10,130 --> 00:42:08,220 Napoleon complex where they don't and 1127 00:42:12,710 --> 00:42:10,140 they know it but they got to double down 1128 00:42:13,970 --> 00:42:12,720 and be like well actually I know we've 1129 00:42:15,829 --> 00:42:13,980 got it all figured out don't you worry 1130 00:42:17,990 --> 00:42:15,839 about that you can't do the math so 1131 00:42:20,089 --> 00:42:18,000 don't worry about that and it's 1132 00:42:21,950 --> 00:42:20,099 infuriating because if we all just said 1133 00:42:24,430 --> 00:42:21,960 look we don't know 1134 00:42:28,250 --> 00:42:24,440 but let's try to figure it out together 1135 00:42:29,990 --> 00:42:28,260 instead of just I don't know making all 1136 00:42:31,790 --> 00:42:30,000 these little fights that you see in the 1137 00:42:34,910 --> 00:42:31,800 UFO community of the paleoanthropology 1138 00:42:37,370 --> 00:42:34,920 community any field where there's a lot 1139 00:42:39,890 --> 00:42:37,380 of smart people that don't have it all 1140 00:42:42,410 --> 00:42:39,900 figured out it tends to just evolve into 1141 00:42:44,569 --> 00:42:42,420 chaos and name calling and arguing and 1142 00:42:46,130 --> 00:42:44,579 you see that across the board I guess 1143 00:42:48,589 --> 00:42:46,140 I'm a part of it by just saying that too 1144 00:42:50,630 --> 00:42:48,599 so I'll call myself up yeah absolutely 1145 00:42:53,270 --> 00:42:50,640 it gets ridiculous at times 1146 00:42:55,670 --> 00:42:53,280 I struggled with this Theory at first 1147 00:42:57,170 --> 00:42:55,680 but I know that one case that you go 1148 00:42:59,030 --> 00:42:57,180 over in your second book and that was 1149 00:43:00,410 --> 00:42:59,040 really one that brought me around and 1150 00:43:02,930 --> 00:43:00,420 that most people be familiar with is the 1151 00:43:05,750 --> 00:43:02,940 Nimitz incident because you have that 1152 00:43:07,609 --> 00:43:05,760 moment where the Tic Tac beat them to 1153 00:43:10,730 --> 00:43:07,619 the cat point which is something that 1154 00:43:12,290 --> 00:43:10,740 was created in real time through a 1155 00:43:14,809 --> 00:43:12,300 computer that like no one should have 1156 00:43:17,809 --> 00:43:14,819 had any kind of access to whatsoever and 1157 00:43:20,390 --> 00:43:17,819 yet somehow the Tic Tac wasn't just near 1158 00:43:22,370 --> 00:43:20,400 the cath point it was on it was on it 1159 00:43:24,410 --> 00:43:22,380 yeah yeah I feel like it's almost 1160 00:43:26,030 --> 00:43:24,420 impossible to wrap your mind around that 1161 00:43:27,410 --> 00:43:26,040 and what could be going on there without 1162 00:43:29,930 --> 00:43:27,420 there being some sort of an 1163 00:43:32,210 --> 00:43:29,940 understanding that they are interacting 1164 00:43:35,210 --> 00:43:32,220 with time in a way that's different than 1165 00:43:37,010 --> 00:43:35,220 yeah our future knowledge too I mean if 1166 00:43:38,030 --> 00:43:37,020 we're talking about individuals that 1167 00:43:40,430 --> 00:43:38,040 knew 1168 00:43:42,829 --> 00:43:40,440 something about the future and that 1169 00:43:44,750 --> 00:43:42,839 almost seems like one where they're 1170 00:43:47,089 --> 00:43:44,760 trying to communicate something or 1171 00:43:49,309 --> 00:43:47,099 they're trying to say Hey look we know 1172 00:43:52,069 --> 00:43:49,319 where you're going how do we know that 1173 00:43:54,349 --> 00:43:52,079 yeah I should be asking questions that's 1174 00:43:57,730 --> 00:43:54,359 like there's a lot of things that they 1175 00:44:00,290 --> 00:43:57,740 seemingly do to make us ask questions 1176 00:44:02,809 --> 00:44:00,300 some of us there's the vast majority of 1177 00:44:05,750 --> 00:44:02,819 the human population that ignores all of 1178 00:44:07,370 --> 00:44:05,760 this but yeah if you pay attention and 1179 00:44:09,589 --> 00:44:07,380 like I said earlier I wonder if that's 1180 00:44:13,069 --> 00:44:09,599 an aspect of the disclosure thing is 1181 00:44:15,530 --> 00:44:13,079 that we're not just asking questions but 1182 00:44:17,569 --> 00:44:15,540 trying to figure it out and once we get 1183 00:44:20,510 --> 00:44:17,579 close enough I don't see how that 1184 00:44:22,670 --> 00:44:20,520 couldn't be a signal to them that it's 1185 00:44:23,809 --> 00:44:22,680 time to talk to us if we know who they 1186 00:44:26,030 --> 00:44:23,819 are 1187 00:44:27,710 --> 00:44:26,040 they don't have to be covert anymore 1188 00:44:29,270 --> 00:44:27,720 they don't have to hide everything that 1189 00:44:30,950 --> 00:44:29,280 they're doing anymore and that to me 1190 00:44:32,870 --> 00:44:30,960 seemed like one like why do that you 1191 00:44:35,750 --> 00:44:32,880 know if you're just flying around 1192 00:44:37,730 --> 00:44:35,760 why end up in that exact point that 1193 00:44:40,849 --> 00:44:37,740 nobody knows about and you should know 1194 00:44:42,290 --> 00:44:40,859 about unless you had future knowledge so 1195 00:44:45,349 --> 00:44:42,300 yeah that's an interesting one but also 1196 00:44:47,150 --> 00:44:45,359 the g-forces I also talk about that in 1197 00:44:48,770 --> 00:44:47,160 that section of the book this was 1198 00:44:50,150 --> 00:44:48,780 something that was conveyed to me by 1199 00:44:53,210 --> 00:44:50,160 someone 1200 00:44:56,210 --> 00:44:53,220 who allegedly worked in the intelligence 1201 00:45:00,410 --> 00:44:56,220 Community for his entire life he was 1202 00:45:03,650 --> 00:45:00,420 retired I can never know if that's true 1203 00:45:05,690 --> 00:45:03,660 I can never fact check those things 1204 00:45:07,490 --> 00:45:05,700 um maybe somebody could I don't know I 1205 00:45:08,690 --> 00:45:07,500 didn't really care to either because I 1206 00:45:10,670 --> 00:45:08,700 felt like they were just trying to tell 1207 00:45:12,829 --> 00:45:10,680 me something didn't matter who they were 1208 00:45:15,349 --> 00:45:12,839 something that I overlooked in my first 1209 00:45:17,569 --> 00:45:15,359 book that with time travel capabilities 1210 00:45:19,010 --> 00:45:17,579 and with the sphere of influence that 1211 00:45:20,650 --> 00:45:19,020 they're making around this craft where 1212 00:45:22,790 --> 00:45:20,660 they're manipulating the flow of time 1213 00:45:24,710 --> 00:45:22,800 suddenly we're talking about different 1214 00:45:28,730 --> 00:45:24,720 reference frames 1215 00:45:30,589 --> 00:45:28,740 different ways in which time flows in 1216 00:45:33,470 --> 00:45:30,599 that sphere of influence in and around 1217 00:45:35,390 --> 00:45:33,480 the craft versus those outside of it and 1218 00:45:37,370 --> 00:45:35,400 based on a number of different cases I 1219 00:45:39,589 --> 00:45:37,380 give examples of both in the extra 1220 00:45:41,450 --> 00:45:39,599 temperature model they're doing both 1221 00:45:43,970 --> 00:45:41,460 they're speeding it up and slowing it 1222 00:45:46,790 --> 00:45:43,980 down so if they have that ability 1223 00:45:50,750 --> 00:45:46,800 to slow down time in and around than 1224 00:45:54,290 --> 00:45:50,760 what we see is a 10 000 G maneuver maybe 1225 00:45:56,630 --> 00:45:54,300 you know 0.5 or 1G to them it may feel 1226 00:46:00,170 --> 00:45:56,640 just like a plane taking a slow Bank as 1227 00:46:01,490 --> 00:46:00,180 it comes off the Runway so and I do I 1228 00:46:02,990 --> 00:46:01,500 think it helps explain that too and 1229 00:46:05,630 --> 00:46:03,000 that's what this x intelligence 1230 00:46:08,150 --> 00:46:05,640 individual told me and whether or not 1231 00:46:10,130 --> 00:46:08,160 they were who they claimed they were 1232 00:46:13,250 --> 00:46:10,140 they wrote to me after my first book 1233 00:46:14,930 --> 00:46:13,260 came out pointed out a very obvious 1234 00:46:15,890 --> 00:46:14,940 thing that I overlooked a point of 1235 00:46:17,690 --> 00:46:15,900 ignorance 1236 00:46:19,250 --> 00:46:17,700 and I was like oh cool that's 1237 00:46:21,530 --> 00:46:19,260 interesting thanks and they were like no 1238 00:46:23,450 --> 00:46:21,540 I don't think you understood what I was 1239 00:46:26,930 --> 00:46:23,460 saying and explained it again and I was 1240 00:46:29,030 --> 00:46:26,940 like oh yeah damn that makes a lot of 1241 00:46:30,710 --> 00:46:29,040 sense and we moved on and I've been 1242 00:46:33,170 --> 00:46:30,720 talking about it since then you know 1243 00:46:34,670 --> 00:46:33,180 it's not something I thought of but once 1244 00:46:36,829 --> 00:46:34,680 they mentioned it and it's been the case 1245 00:46:38,510 --> 00:46:36,839 with all of this research is those and 1246 00:46:39,770 --> 00:46:38,520 this is why I argue that we should all 1247 00:46:42,109 --> 00:46:39,780 be talking to each other and not 1248 00:46:44,329 --> 00:46:42,119 fighting because if we listen to each 1249 00:46:46,910 --> 00:46:44,339 other we all move farther down the field 1250 00:46:48,290 --> 00:46:46,920 faster than if we just stuck it on our 1251 00:46:50,390 --> 00:46:48,300 high horses and think of everything 1252 00:46:51,589 --> 00:46:50,400 figured out but you mentioned that 1253 00:46:54,109 --> 00:46:51,599 there's been a couple other ones like 1254 00:46:56,630 --> 00:46:54,119 the AI thing we talked about earlier I 1255 00:46:58,490 --> 00:46:56,640 overlooked that my first book disease 1256 00:46:59,930 --> 00:46:58,500 transmission was another one I 1257 00:47:02,450 --> 00:46:59,940 overlooked so 1258 00:47:04,550 --> 00:47:02,460 it's important to put things out there 1259 00:47:06,650 --> 00:47:04,560 who doesn't answer everything doesn't 1260 00:47:08,510 --> 00:47:06,660 even come close but the more we have a 1261 00:47:10,849 --> 00:47:08,520 conversation and the more people with 1262 00:47:13,910 --> 00:47:10,859 specific sets of expertise start to 1263 00:47:16,010 --> 00:47:13,920 contribute to that conversation we as a 1264 00:47:17,990 --> 00:47:16,020 whole grow in our Collective knowledge 1265 00:47:19,730 --> 00:47:18,000 and move forward faster and that was 1266 00:47:22,490 --> 00:47:19,740 definitely one of those cases and it's 1267 00:47:24,410 --> 00:47:22,500 so interesting too how so many of these 1268 00:47:27,410 --> 00:47:24,420 things that the craft do seem impossible 1269 00:47:28,730 --> 00:47:27,420 and then people tend to blow them off 1270 00:47:31,010 --> 00:47:28,740 and say well like it can't be real 1271 00:47:33,710 --> 00:47:31,020 because that's not possible and yet like 1272 00:47:35,270 --> 00:47:33,720 you just gave that example I feel like 1273 00:47:36,410 --> 00:47:35,280 you're talking about someone specific 1274 00:47:38,390 --> 00:47:36,420 thing 1275 00:47:40,190 --> 00:47:38,400 I mean that might be maybe it might be 1276 00:47:43,609 --> 00:47:40,200 some tweeting 1277 00:47:45,530 --> 00:47:43,619 maybe but I mean but but with one little 1278 00:47:47,630 --> 00:47:45,540 change like that like with one little 1279 00:47:50,630 --> 00:47:47,640 piece of context or one little idea 1280 00:47:52,130 --> 00:47:50,640 suddenly what is impossible makes so 1281 00:47:53,450 --> 00:47:52,140 much sense and it's like well why would 1282 00:47:55,670 --> 00:47:53,460 we run from something that seems 1283 00:47:57,349 --> 00:47:55,680 impossible why wouldn't we stop and 1284 00:47:59,329 --> 00:47:57,359 talk it through and try to find that 1285 00:48:00,650 --> 00:47:59,339 thing that makes it makes yeah that's 1286 00:48:04,010 --> 00:48:00,660 one of my favorite things about Jeff 1287 00:48:06,470 --> 00:48:04,020 craple at the at race universities he 1288 00:48:09,410 --> 00:48:06,480 addresses The Impossible it's most of 1289 00:48:11,930 --> 00:48:09,420 archives of the impossible a number of 1290 00:48:13,670 --> 00:48:11,940 his books are like well what is what the 1291 00:48:16,970 --> 00:48:13,680 hell is The Impossible it's the stupid 1292 00:48:18,470 --> 00:48:16,980 idea that we have we're in posterity we 1293 00:48:20,510 --> 00:48:18,480 look back on like oh that was actually 1294 00:48:22,849 --> 00:48:20,520 kind of easy and that was the first 1295 00:48:26,030 --> 00:48:22,859 quote jail in heinek In my most recent 1296 00:48:28,490 --> 00:48:26,040 book Revelation was we look back on the 1297 00:48:30,890 --> 00:48:28,500 past it's like we forget that there will 1298 00:48:32,870 --> 00:48:30,900 be a 20th century science in the 30th 1299 00:48:35,150 --> 00:48:32,880 Century science then we look back with 1300 00:48:36,829 --> 00:48:35,160 this arrogance of posterity I don't 1301 00:48:38,329 --> 00:48:36,839 remember the exact words he used but 1302 00:48:42,050 --> 00:48:38,339 it's absolutely true we're talking about 1303 00:48:45,170 --> 00:48:42,060 time frames that are centuries where 1304 00:48:47,329 --> 00:48:45,180 this phenomenon likely stretches tens of 1305 00:48:49,550 --> 00:48:47,339 thousands of years into our future so 1306 00:48:52,069 --> 00:48:49,560 yeah this tiny little blip on their 1307 00:48:54,309 --> 00:48:52,079 radar probably looks ridiculous kind of 1308 00:48:56,630 --> 00:48:54,319 embarrassing for Humanity I guess 1309 00:48:59,390 --> 00:48:56,640 yeah I would not be surprised if that's 1310 00:49:00,650 --> 00:48:59,400 the case with time travel I know that a 1311 00:49:02,930 --> 00:49:00,660 difficulty that a lot of people have 1312 00:49:05,089 --> 00:49:02,940 with it is they have this kind of Back 1313 00:49:07,010 --> 00:49:05,099 to the Future sort of Paradigm around it 1314 00:49:08,569 --> 00:49:07,020 where if you go into the past you could 1315 00:49:11,030 --> 00:49:08,579 potentially create a paradox where maybe 1316 00:49:13,609 --> 00:49:11,040 you wouldn't be born but you've argued 1317 00:49:15,530 --> 00:49:13,619 in your work that the block Universe 1318 00:49:16,609 --> 00:49:15,540 model resolves that Paradox I think 1319 00:49:18,530 --> 00:49:16,619 that's something a lot of people aren't 1320 00:49:20,829 --> 00:49:18,540 familiar with so could you explain what 1321 00:49:23,930 --> 00:49:20,839 the block universe is and how that works 1322 00:49:25,609 --> 00:49:23,940 yeah and you're absolutely right Marty 1323 00:49:29,390 --> 00:49:25,619 McFly ruined 1324 00:49:32,690 --> 00:49:29,400 all of our brains in the 80s and 90s you 1325 00:49:35,390 --> 00:49:32,700 know great movies but definitely didn't 1326 00:49:38,450 --> 00:49:35,400 do anything for how we perceive what is 1327 00:49:40,309 --> 00:49:38,460 likely the way in which time works and 1328 00:49:43,670 --> 00:49:40,319 so yeah like a lot of people get hung up 1329 00:49:45,890 --> 00:49:43,680 on paradoxes and that only exists if 1330 00:49:49,069 --> 00:49:45,900 there is actual change if there can be 1331 00:49:51,950 --> 00:49:49,079 change to the Past however within the 1332 00:49:54,950 --> 00:49:51,960 block Universe model there is no ability 1333 00:49:58,490 --> 00:49:54,960 to change it because the past present 1334 00:50:01,370 --> 00:49:58,500 and future all exist already as one 1335 00:50:04,670 --> 00:50:01,380 massive four-dimensional entity a block 1336 00:50:07,910 --> 00:50:04,680 of all moments in space-time that have 1337 00:50:10,490 --> 00:50:07,920 are and will ever exist so if you go 1338 00:50:12,710 --> 00:50:10,500 back into the past it's not changing 1339 00:50:14,510 --> 00:50:12,720 anything you go to the past as we 1340 00:50:17,510 --> 00:50:14,520 perceive linear time which our brains 1341 00:50:19,309 --> 00:50:17,520 had to develop neuro science has shown 1342 00:50:21,530 --> 00:50:19,319 that we perceive time linearly because 1343 00:50:23,270 --> 00:50:21,540 we have to because if the Tigers running 1344 00:50:24,950 --> 00:50:23,280 at us and we're perceiving time 1345 00:50:26,809 --> 00:50:24,960 backwards we run straight into it 1346 00:50:28,490 --> 00:50:26,819 instead of away from it and there's 1347 00:50:30,530 --> 00:50:28,500 different speeds at which other animals 1348 00:50:33,109 --> 00:50:30,540 perceive time too what I call bio 1349 00:50:35,089 --> 00:50:33,119 relativity because it's not just this 1350 00:50:37,849 --> 00:50:35,099 same perception of time and the speed at 1351 00:50:39,530 --> 00:50:37,859 which things change that we see Donald 1352 00:50:41,210 --> 00:50:39,540 Hoffman's written a lot about this not 1353 00:50:43,730 --> 00:50:41,220 just with the perception of time but 1354 00:50:45,230 --> 00:50:43,740 colors textures feels everything so 1355 00:50:47,270 --> 00:50:45,240 we've evolved to have a linear 1356 00:50:50,390 --> 00:50:47,280 perception of time unfortunately that's 1357 00:50:51,770 --> 00:50:50,400 really limited our ability to see beyond 1358 00:50:53,809 --> 00:50:51,780 that and you're right this is the big 1359 00:50:56,030 --> 00:50:53,819 hangout for people I think I've probably 1360 00:50:57,770 --> 00:50:56,040 explained block time more than anything 1361 00:50:59,210 --> 00:50:57,780 else in any conversation I've had 1362 00:51:02,270 --> 00:50:59,220 because it's important to understand 1363 00:51:04,309 --> 00:51:02,280 it's not just my idea either it's the 1364 00:51:06,349 --> 00:51:04,319 most conventionally held understanding 1365 00:51:08,690 --> 00:51:06,359 of how the universe works earlier I 1366 00:51:11,089 --> 00:51:08,700 mentioned that we still don't know what 1367 00:51:12,710 --> 00:51:11,099 time is it's not fundamental it's an 1368 00:51:14,089 --> 00:51:12,720 emergent phenomenon it comes from 1369 00:51:15,710 --> 00:51:14,099 something that is fundamental that we 1370 00:51:16,970 --> 00:51:15,720 don't yet understand so we could 1371 00:51:19,910 --> 00:51:16,980 potentially 1372 00:51:21,710 --> 00:51:19,920 alter this knowledge to expand beyond 1373 00:51:23,750 --> 00:51:21,720 the block universe but currently this is 1374 00:51:26,809 --> 00:51:23,760 what we have and it does make a lot of 1375 00:51:28,970 --> 00:51:26,819 sense and within this it doesn't allow 1376 00:51:30,530 --> 00:51:28,980 for paradoxes in the way that they're 1377 00:51:33,049 --> 00:51:30,540 often perceived because you go back into 1378 00:51:35,329 --> 00:51:33,059 the past you do whatever you're doing 1379 00:51:37,970 --> 00:51:35,339 you're not changing anything you're just 1380 00:51:40,089 --> 00:51:37,980 doing what you already did in that past 1381 00:51:42,589 --> 00:51:40,099 period you come back to the future 1382 00:51:44,750 --> 00:51:42,599 everybody's heads aren't made out of 1383 00:51:46,130 --> 00:51:44,760 donuts they're the exact same as they 1384 00:51:49,069 --> 00:51:46,140 were because you had already done those 1385 00:51:50,150 --> 00:51:49,079 things before that moment in time it's 1386 00:51:52,309 --> 00:51:50,160 already there 1387 00:51:54,589 --> 00:51:52,319 it just took you still going to do it 1388 00:51:57,290 --> 00:51:54,599 and nothing changes it's still all a 1389 00:51:59,930 --> 00:51:57,300 part of this massive landscape of time 1390 00:52:02,270 --> 00:51:59,940 that we can't see because we see this 1391 00:52:04,190 --> 00:52:02,280 sort of linear flow to it but the past 1392 00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:04,200 present future are all there they're all 1393 00:52:07,849 --> 00:52:06,300 part of that massive block and we feel 1394 00:52:09,890 --> 00:52:07,859 the present even though it doesn't exist 1395 00:52:12,290 --> 00:52:09,900 this is one of Einstein's big Hang-Ups 1396 00:52:14,329 --> 00:52:12,300 that he there's no way to quantify now 1397 00:52:16,490 --> 00:52:14,339 and there's a reason it doesn't exist 1398 00:52:18,109 --> 00:52:16,500 because presentism doesn't exist it 1399 00:52:20,390 --> 00:52:18,119 doesn't explain the universe that we 1400 00:52:22,670 --> 00:52:20,400 live in but the block Universe seemingly 1401 00:52:25,069 --> 00:52:22,680 does and if you look at this interaction 1402 00:52:27,290 --> 00:52:25,079 with different time periods these future 1403 00:52:28,970 --> 00:52:27,300 humans are likely doing they don't get 1404 00:52:30,770 --> 00:52:28,980 home after these missions and see 1405 00:52:32,870 --> 00:52:30,780 everything as being different they get 1406 00:52:34,910 --> 00:52:32,880 home and it's all the same they just 1407 00:52:37,250 --> 00:52:34,920 went and did all the things that were 1408 00:52:38,990 --> 00:52:37,260 already in those parts of space-time so 1409 00:52:41,030 --> 00:52:39,000 it's only once you get into the many 1410 00:52:44,089 --> 00:52:41,040 worlds interpretation and different 1411 00:52:46,069 --> 00:52:44,099 branching timelines and multiverses that 1412 00:52:47,510 --> 00:52:46,079 you do have the opportunity for Paradox 1413 00:52:49,670 --> 00:52:47,520 you then have to start asking those 1414 00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:49,680 questions about well what about this 1415 00:52:53,809 --> 00:52:52,020 timeline that timeline or they jump in 1416 00:52:56,329 --> 00:52:53,819 between them can they get back to their 1417 00:52:58,430 --> 00:52:56,339 realm do they want to why don't we see 1418 00:52:59,750 --> 00:52:58,440 future humans constantly coming back 1419 00:53:01,010 --> 00:52:59,760 trying to change things because they 1420 00:53:02,329 --> 00:53:01,020 screwed up the timeline by doing 1421 00:53:04,309 --> 00:53:02,339 something they thought would be good and 1422 00:53:06,589 --> 00:53:04,319 it's bad they expect all these time Wars 1423 00:53:09,230 --> 00:53:06,599 and things that we just don't see so I 1424 00:53:11,329 --> 00:53:09,240 do think the block Universe model is not 1425 00:53:13,549 --> 00:53:11,339 only accurate you know I don't 1426 00:53:15,410 --> 00:53:13,559 argue for this because I do think it 1427 00:53:18,049 --> 00:53:15,420 helps explain the phenomenon it's just 1428 00:53:20,270 --> 00:53:18,059 what we agree on is the fabric of 1429 00:53:22,970 --> 00:53:20,280 reality at this point but again that can 1430 00:53:25,670 --> 00:53:22,980 all change yeah 1431 00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:25,680 so if our descendants aren't necessarily 1432 00:53:30,190 --> 00:53:27,480 coming back to change things there's not 1433 00:53:32,569 --> 00:53:30,200 like some epic time war going on then 1434 00:53:34,549 --> 00:53:32,579 why are they coming back what are the 1435 00:53:37,309 --> 00:53:34,559 ideas about that that you think are most 1436 00:53:39,230 --> 00:53:37,319 compelling well I always get out in 1437 00:53:40,730 --> 00:53:39,240 front of that question by acknowledging 1438 00:53:43,190 --> 00:53:40,740 my biases 1439 00:53:45,770 --> 00:53:43,200 because as an anthropologist that's what 1440 00:53:47,690 --> 00:53:45,780 we want to do in our classes all the 1441 00:53:48,470 --> 00:53:47,700 time I say well if only we had a time 1442 00:53:50,210 --> 00:53:48,480 machine 1443 00:53:52,970 --> 00:53:50,220 we could know these are our best 1444 00:53:55,130 --> 00:53:52,980 theories based on the evidence based on 1445 00:53:58,490 --> 00:53:55,140 the fossil record based on the toolkit 1446 00:53:59,870 --> 00:53:58,500 of our ancestors but we can't know until 1447 00:54:01,670 --> 00:53:59,880 they tell us 1448 00:54:05,390 --> 00:54:01,680 but based on the behaviors that are 1449 00:54:08,150 --> 00:54:05,400 reported there are seemingly a research 1450 00:54:10,910 --> 00:54:08,160 component to it these abductions look at 1451 00:54:13,930 --> 00:54:10,920 John Mack look at Kathleen Martin's 1452 00:54:16,370 --> 00:54:13,940 they've both listed like very specific 1453 00:54:18,230 --> 00:54:16,380 descriptions of what contact you 1454 00:54:19,490 --> 00:54:18,240 experience independently and they're 1455 00:54:21,770 --> 00:54:19,500 almost identical 1456 00:54:23,930 --> 00:54:21,780 and that indicates to me and should 1457 00:54:25,790 --> 00:54:23,940 indicate to others that there are 1458 00:54:27,190 --> 00:54:25,800 patterns there there are things we can 1459 00:54:30,829 --> 00:54:27,200 learn from those 1460 00:54:34,010 --> 00:54:30,839 and they seemingly are scientific it 1461 00:54:35,809 --> 00:54:34,020 seems to be researched based at least in 1462 00:54:37,609 --> 00:54:35,819 these time periods where people are 1463 00:54:39,230 --> 00:54:37,619 being abducted out maybe a whole 1464 00:54:41,630 --> 00:54:39,240 different thing that they're doing even 1465 00:54:43,609 --> 00:54:41,640 200 years ago were creating religions 1466 00:54:45,770 --> 00:54:43,619 two thousand years ago or whatever but 1467 00:54:47,690 --> 00:54:45,780 what it seems like in this time period 1468 00:54:51,290 --> 00:54:47,700 is that it's research based and it's 1469 00:54:54,230 --> 00:54:51,300 also a Gammy collection Endeavor on a 1470 00:54:56,270 --> 00:54:54,240 massive scale that they're collecting 1471 00:55:00,170 --> 00:54:56,280 sperm for men and collecting eggs from 1472 00:55:03,170 --> 00:55:00,180 women and that is seemingly Paramount 1473 00:55:05,450 --> 00:55:03,180 what that means harder to say but that 1474 00:55:08,150 --> 00:55:05,460 is a pattern that we can identify a very 1475 00:55:10,250 --> 00:55:08,160 very recurrent pattern and a lot of 1476 00:55:12,770 --> 00:55:10,260 people ask me well so what are they 1477 00:55:14,870 --> 00:55:12,780 doing to us why do they want all of 1478 00:55:17,390 --> 00:55:14,880 these sex cells and I don't think it's 1479 00:55:18,349 --> 00:55:17,400 for us I'm of the belief that it's for 1480 00:55:20,569 --> 00:55:18,359 them 1481 00:55:23,410 --> 00:55:20,579 it's something about the future that 1482 00:55:26,210 --> 00:55:23,420 they require past human 1483 00:55:28,370 --> 00:55:26,220 dna4 and it was interesting having 1484 00:55:29,870 --> 00:55:28,380 written a whole section about that my 1485 00:55:31,910 --> 00:55:29,880 first book and then learning about Jim 1486 00:55:34,069 --> 00:55:31,920 peniston's encounter and he said 1487 00:55:36,890 --> 00:55:34,079 something almost identical to which he 1488 00:55:38,750 --> 00:55:36,900 was told by them really quickly I'm like 1489 00:55:40,730 --> 00:55:38,760 a week before publication 1490 00:55:42,470 --> 00:55:40,740 trying to add that again it's not cherry 1491 00:55:44,390 --> 00:55:42,480 picking it's not selection bias but 1492 00:55:48,109 --> 00:55:44,400 that's an important thing when I 1493 00:55:50,089 --> 00:55:48,119 independently observed this across these 1494 00:55:52,250 --> 00:55:50,099 different content cases and he was 1495 00:55:54,410 --> 00:55:52,260 allegedly told by them 1496 00:55:56,390 --> 00:55:54,420 let's put those together maybe those fit 1497 00:55:59,210 --> 00:55:56,400 together for a reason that that happened 1498 00:56:00,950 --> 00:55:59,220 a week before I published this book so I 1499 00:56:03,049 --> 00:56:00,960 don't have to sell synchronicities to 1500 00:56:05,690 --> 00:56:03,059 your audience probably I'm sure they 1501 00:56:07,970 --> 00:56:05,700 experienced them on a regular basis but 1502 00:56:10,490 --> 00:56:07,980 yeah I do think it's research based I 1503 00:56:12,470 --> 00:56:10,500 think it's studying us and our society 1504 00:56:14,990 --> 00:56:12,480 and our culture because you can do that 1505 00:56:17,990 --> 00:56:15,000 much better with living humans than you 1506 00:56:20,750 --> 00:56:18,000 can with fossils and I think it's also 1507 00:56:23,210 --> 00:56:20,760 them collecting our DNA for whatever 1508 00:56:25,250 --> 00:56:23,220 reason I list a number of them in both 1509 00:56:27,049 --> 00:56:25,260 books so it won't go down that rabbit 1510 00:56:29,569 --> 00:56:27,059 hole again yeah it's interesting because 1511 00:56:31,730 --> 00:56:29,579 even in our modern day we're seeing a 1512 00:56:34,069 --> 00:56:31,740 rise in fertility issues we're seeing 1513 00:56:36,230 --> 00:56:34,079 lower sperm counts in men so it could be 1514 00:56:38,270 --> 00:56:36,240 if that Trend continues suddenly 1515 00:56:40,790 --> 00:56:38,280 furbishing that material 1516 00:56:43,130 --> 00:56:40,800 doesn't seem so crazy 1517 00:56:44,870 --> 00:56:43,140 yeah and that's all I try to do in these 1518 00:56:47,450 --> 00:56:44,880 books like you can't predict the future 1519 00:56:49,670 --> 00:56:47,460 we can maybe observe things from the 1520 00:56:51,890 --> 00:56:49,680 future and that's why it pisses me off 1521 00:56:54,829 --> 00:56:51,900 when people are like well this is 1522 00:56:56,630 --> 00:56:54,839 speculation it's not because we're 1523 00:56:58,490 --> 00:56:56,640 observing things again it's this 1524 00:57:00,250 --> 00:56:58,500 disconnect I see it so much teaching in 1525 00:57:02,150 --> 00:57:00,260 engineering school one of the top 1526 00:57:04,609 --> 00:57:02,160 engineering schools in the Pacific 1527 00:57:08,270 --> 00:57:04,619 Northwest where everybody is so locked 1528 00:57:11,210 --> 00:57:08,280 in to quantitative research methods and 1529 00:57:14,630 --> 00:57:11,220 a controlled lab or all factors are 1530 00:57:17,809 --> 00:57:14,640 controlled for that's one part of 1531 00:57:19,730 --> 00:57:17,819 scientific research but there's also a 1532 00:57:22,790 --> 00:57:19,740 huge another part that you're ignoring 1533 00:57:25,370 --> 00:57:22,800 and sort of trying to belittle in 1534 00:57:26,930 --> 00:57:25,380 looking at this relationship or the way 1535 00:57:28,309 --> 00:57:26,940 that science is conducted so it kind of 1536 00:57:30,829 --> 00:57:28,319 pisses me off because we're talking 1537 00:57:32,450 --> 00:57:30,839 about observational research here and 1538 00:57:35,750 --> 00:57:32,460 observing these things these patterns 1539 00:57:37,430 --> 00:57:35,760 across things and if they are from the 1540 00:57:39,650 --> 00:57:37,440 future we should be able to glean that 1541 00:57:42,170 --> 00:57:39,660 and it would indicate some things about 1542 00:57:43,430 --> 00:57:42,180 our future by taking them seriously and 1543 00:57:45,950 --> 00:57:43,440 studying them and looking for these 1544 00:57:48,290 --> 00:57:45,960 patterns across them knowing that one 1545 00:57:50,210 --> 00:57:48,300 thing I really tried to avoid was 1546 00:57:52,250 --> 00:57:50,220 predicting what's going to happen 1547 00:57:53,030 --> 00:57:52,260 between now and then I hear this all the 1548 00:57:54,230 --> 00:57:53,040 time well we're going to live 1549 00:57:55,730 --> 00:57:54,240 underground or we'll live in space 1550 00:57:57,950 --> 00:57:55,740 there's a ton of YouTube videos where 1551 00:57:59,930 --> 00:57:57,960 they sort of take these ideas and go 1552 00:58:02,089 --> 00:57:59,940 there because I don't and I don't for a 1553 00:58:03,589 --> 00:58:02,099 reason because we can't know we can't 1554 00:58:06,770 --> 00:58:03,599 know what happens between now and then 1555 00:58:08,930 --> 00:58:06,780 to create this craniofacial form so as 1556 00:58:11,329 --> 00:58:08,940 you mentioned it's important to look at 1557 00:58:13,670 --> 00:58:11,339 Trends long-term trends that we can 1558 00:58:16,069 --> 00:58:13,680 identify in the present and throughout 1559 00:58:18,530 --> 00:58:16,079 the recent and very distant past and if 1560 00:58:21,290 --> 00:58:18,540 those continue we're likely to see this 1561 00:58:23,809 --> 00:58:21,300 that or the other so yeah we should 1562 00:58:25,730 --> 00:58:23,819 absolutely focus on those fertility and 1563 00:58:27,710 --> 00:58:25,740 vacinity Trends in the context of this 1564 00:58:30,410 --> 00:58:27,720 question but at any point anything could 1565 00:58:32,870 --> 00:58:30,420 change we can't say for sure the only 1566 00:58:35,150 --> 00:58:32,880 one I would really hang my hat on is the 1567 00:58:37,609 --> 00:58:35,160 cranial facial change the runaway brain 1568 00:58:40,010 --> 00:58:37,619 that one perseveres throughout 1569 00:58:41,690 --> 00:58:40,020 potentially eight million years of human 1570 00:58:42,650 --> 00:58:41,700 evolution regardless of what we're doing 1571 00:58:45,589 --> 00:58:42,660 and where 1572 00:58:47,809 --> 00:58:45,599 and yeah I don't see that one changing 1573 00:58:49,130 --> 00:58:47,819 simply because we became aware of it I 1574 00:58:50,750 --> 00:58:49,140 think there's probably something deeper 1575 00:58:52,549 --> 00:58:50,760 going on there but yeah Trends are 1576 00:58:54,190 --> 00:58:52,559 important patterns are important you 1577 00:58:56,809 --> 00:58:54,200 should pay attention to them and stop 1578 00:58:58,789 --> 00:58:56,819 elevating lab-based quantitative 1579 00:59:00,829 --> 00:58:58,799 research over all others because it's a 1580 00:59:02,630 --> 00:59:00,839 very narrow view of science 1581 00:59:05,089 --> 00:59:02,640 yeah absolutely 1582 00:59:07,069 --> 00:59:05,099 so to switch gears a little bit you also 1583 00:59:09,530 --> 00:59:07,079 have a new book out called Revelation 1584 00:59:11,870 --> 00:59:09,540 the future human past which is a 1585 00:59:13,490 --> 00:59:11,880 satirical science fiction novel the book 1586 00:59:15,829 --> 00:59:13,500 is really interesting with lots of big 1587 00:59:18,710 --> 00:59:15,839 ideas and food for thought and it's also 1588 00:59:20,089 --> 00:59:18,720 deeply irreverent and really funny I was 1589 00:59:22,309 --> 00:59:20,099 reading it on an airplane this weekend 1590 00:59:24,109 --> 00:59:22,319 and I think I completely annoyed the 1591 00:59:26,270 --> 00:59:24,119 person sitting next to this or there's 1592 00:59:27,589 --> 00:59:26,280 some LOL moments right because I thought 1593 00:59:29,630 --> 00:59:27,599 you were going to say erotic which 1594 00:59:31,130 --> 00:59:29,640 should also kind of is it is a little 1595 00:59:32,089 --> 00:59:31,140 erotic I'll give you that I'll give you 1596 00:59:35,630 --> 00:59:32,099 that 1597 00:59:38,030 --> 00:59:35,640 um but so our contact experiences though 1598 00:59:39,890 --> 00:59:38,040 exactly can you talk a little bit more 1599 00:59:41,750 --> 00:59:39,900 about the book and just what inspired 1600 00:59:43,250 --> 00:59:41,760 you to write it yeah I'd love to it's 1601 00:59:44,990 --> 00:59:43,260 actually the first time I've gotten a 1602 00:59:47,450 --> 00:59:45,000 chance to talk about it so it was 1603 00:59:51,430 --> 00:59:47,460 inspired I did a talk at the eslin 1604 00:59:54,230 --> 00:59:51,440 institute in Big Sur California in July 1605 00:59:57,049 --> 00:59:54,240 and one of the co-founders Michael 1606 00:59:58,609 --> 00:59:57,059 Murphy came up to me after my talk and 1607 01:00:01,250 --> 00:59:58,619 he's like man I've had so many UFO 1608 01:00:03,950 --> 01:00:01,260 people through here and I call 1609 01:00:05,809 --> 01:00:03,960 on all of it I've given up on UFOs but 1610 01:00:07,910 --> 01:00:05,819 you know listening you talk about this 1611 01:00:09,890 --> 01:00:07,920 future human idea just it makes a lot of 1612 01:00:13,089 --> 01:00:09,900 sense it checks a lot of boxes 1613 01:00:16,490 --> 01:00:13,099 but I'm curious hey have there been any 1614 01:00:19,549 --> 01:00:16,500 studies of sex and music specifically 1615 01:00:21,589 --> 01:00:19,559 like what can we learn about the 1616 01:00:22,990 --> 01:00:21,599 potential future human or aliens if 1617 01:00:26,150 --> 01:00:23,000 they're extraterrestrial or whatever 1618 01:00:27,829 --> 01:00:26,160 about sex and music I was like there's 1619 01:00:30,589 --> 01:00:27,839 been some cases with some pretty hot 1620 01:00:32,690 --> 01:00:30,599 stuff going down but as far as a study 1621 01:00:33,710 --> 01:00:32,700 of that I don't know I was like I'll get 1622 01:00:36,589 --> 01:00:33,720 back to you 1623 01:00:38,870 --> 01:00:36,599 so I went through just I don't even know 1624 01:00:42,230 --> 01:00:38,880 how many cases across all these 1625 01:00:44,450 --> 01:00:42,240 different databases and you can find an 1626 01:00:46,069 --> 01:00:44,460 anecdotal accounts of like yeah and then 1627 01:00:48,109 --> 01:00:46,079 this happened and obviously the sperm 1628 01:00:51,109 --> 01:00:48,119 extractions as ubiquitous but that's not 1629 01:00:52,789 --> 01:00:51,119 sex that's not that interaction on some 1630 01:00:55,190 --> 01:00:52,799 spiritual level 1631 01:00:56,690 --> 01:00:55,200 and yeah I kind of got frustrated I 1632 01:00:58,490 --> 01:00:56,700 couldn't find anything 1633 01:01:00,770 --> 01:00:58,500 so I thought it'd be fun to write a book 1634 01:01:03,349 --> 01:01:00,780 where that was sort of a corner piece of 1635 01:01:07,130 --> 01:01:03,359 it and how we 1636 01:01:11,329 --> 01:01:07,140 see sex now and how they 1637 01:01:13,730 --> 01:01:11,339 potentially see it as a really cognitive 1638 01:01:16,490 --> 01:01:13,740 spiritual interaction which we can feel 1639 01:01:18,589 --> 01:01:16,500 too but also what that might mean for 1640 01:01:21,710 --> 01:01:18,599 research if they're coming back to study 1641 01:01:23,930 --> 01:01:21,720 that from the future so I sort of split 1642 01:01:26,329 --> 01:01:23,940 the script a little bit instead of us 1643 01:01:28,370 --> 01:01:26,339 studying that about them I was like what 1644 01:01:30,829 --> 01:01:28,380 if they were studying that about us 1645 01:01:32,750 --> 01:01:30,839 and then yeah like just religion's 1646 01:01:34,010 --> 01:01:32,760 really interesting part of it that keeps 1647 01:01:35,510 --> 01:01:34,020 getting mentioned like one of the 1648 01:01:36,950 --> 01:01:35,520 hardest things about disclosure is going 1649 01:01:38,630 --> 01:01:36,960 to be for religious people 1650 01:01:41,329 --> 01:01:38,640 I was like well I'll write a book to 1651 01:01:43,309 --> 01:01:41,339 help religious people so they can you 1652 01:01:45,710 --> 01:01:43,319 know kind of get ahead of that and get a 1653 01:01:48,230 --> 01:01:45,720 foot in the door so when things drop 1654 01:01:50,089 --> 01:01:48,240 they're like oh okay it was future 1655 01:01:52,549 --> 01:01:50,099 humans 1656 01:01:54,890 --> 01:01:52,559 uh I'm being a little snarky and saying 1657 01:01:59,210 --> 01:01:54,900 that but so no it was just this kind of 1658 01:02:01,190 --> 01:01:59,220 combination of his questions and also 1659 01:02:02,870 --> 01:02:01,200 satire is just fun I think a lot of 1660 01:02:04,670 --> 01:02:02,880 people read this and think oh Masters 1661 01:02:06,530 --> 01:02:04,680 was some kind of bleeding heart liberal 1662 01:02:09,170 --> 01:02:06,540 or something but I'm actually pretty 1663 01:02:10,910 --> 01:02:09,180 middle of the road when it comes to 1664 01:02:13,309 --> 01:02:10,920 politics I'm certainly a social 1665 01:02:16,190 --> 01:02:13,319 Progressive and I think we all should be 1666 01:02:17,930 --> 01:02:16,200 and I think that is the future of 1667 01:02:19,609 --> 01:02:17,940 humanity I think we're moving in that 1668 01:02:22,190 --> 01:02:19,619 direction and have been for a long time 1669 01:02:24,109 --> 01:02:22,200 to increased empathy and acknowledgment 1670 01:02:26,030 --> 01:02:24,119 of the other in whichever way of 1671 01:02:28,910 --> 01:02:26,040 conceptualized that whether it be gender 1672 01:02:31,190 --> 01:02:28,920 or race or ethnicity or whatever 1673 01:02:34,549 --> 01:02:31,200 but with satire you can kind of go 1674 01:02:35,930 --> 01:02:34,559 farther and you can call on a 1675 01:02:38,809 --> 01:02:35,940 lot of things that are just clearly 1676 01:02:40,789 --> 01:02:38,819 hypocritical and so I think the book was 1677 01:02:43,190 --> 01:02:40,799 a combination of all of those where it's 1678 01:02:45,049 --> 01:02:43,200 pushing Humanity forward where we're 1679 01:02:47,930 --> 01:02:45,059 seemingly going based on past Trends 1680 01:02:48,950 --> 01:02:47,940 again with regard to empathy and this 1681 01:02:51,650 --> 01:02:48,960 way of 1682 01:02:53,450 --> 01:02:51,660 being more accepting which clearly we 1683 01:02:56,450 --> 01:02:53,460 have been Jim Crow laws were 60 years 1684 01:02:59,150 --> 01:02:56,460 ago slavery was just like a hundred and 1685 01:03:01,250 --> 01:02:59,160 some so it wasn't that long ago that we 1686 01:03:02,630 --> 01:03:01,260 were complete to each other and 1687 01:03:04,910 --> 01:03:02,640 I think we're moving in Direction we'll 1688 01:03:06,710 --> 01:03:04,920 where we'll be less and less to 1689 01:03:08,690 --> 01:03:06,720 each other and we'll recognize a lot of 1690 01:03:11,450 --> 01:03:08,700 that was the product of religion 1691 01:03:12,950 --> 01:03:11,460 you wrote the book in dialogue I'm just 1692 01:03:16,549 --> 01:03:12,960 curious about that choice and what led 1693 01:03:21,829 --> 01:03:19,069 well I don't really feel like it was a 1694 01:03:24,049 --> 01:03:21,839 decision I just started writing and then 1695 01:03:25,849 --> 01:03:24,059 I realized about halfway through that 1696 01:03:28,130 --> 01:03:25,859 there was no narration and that 1697 01:03:31,730 --> 01:03:28,140 narration has always kind of bugged me 1698 01:03:34,130 --> 01:03:31,740 because I I would like to imagine things 1699 01:03:35,930 --> 01:03:34,140 myself I don't want to be told who this 1700 01:03:38,150 --> 01:03:35,940 individual is or what this scene looks 1701 01:03:40,069 --> 01:03:38,160 like I want to imagine it you know so 1702 01:03:42,530 --> 01:03:40,079 that things are described I'm not 1703 01:03:44,270 --> 01:03:42,540 describing in detail every small part of 1704 01:03:46,910 --> 01:03:44,280 every scene at all but you get a sense 1705 01:03:48,470 --> 01:03:46,920 of where it's taking place and when and 1706 01:03:52,010 --> 01:03:48,480 then you can create your own imagery 1707 01:03:54,109 --> 01:03:52,020 around that I got lucky because I didn't 1708 01:03:54,890 --> 01:03:54,119 realize that books weren't written like 1709 01:03:58,789 --> 01:03:54,900 that 1710 01:04:01,730 --> 01:03:58,799 but there is this show called 1711 01:04:03,829 --> 01:04:01,740 Daisy Jones and the six or something 1712 01:04:06,410 --> 01:04:03,839 like well it's Elvis Presley's 1713 01:04:08,210 --> 01:04:06,420 granddaughter and I saw her on Stephen 1714 01:04:10,430 --> 01:04:08,220 Colbert's show 1715 01:04:12,710 --> 01:04:10,440 and she was talking about precognition 1716 01:04:15,349 --> 01:04:12,720 and how she's had it her whole life and 1717 01:04:17,690 --> 01:04:15,359 I was she's an advocate for precognition 1718 01:04:19,730 --> 01:04:17,700 I've had it my whole life too and so I 1719 01:04:22,250 --> 01:04:19,740 was really interested in this and then 1720 01:04:24,589 --> 01:04:22,260 watched this clip they showed from this 1721 01:04:26,630 --> 01:04:24,599 Daisy Jones and the sixth show or I'm 1722 01:04:28,609 --> 01:04:26,640 probably bastardizing the name of it and 1723 01:04:29,510 --> 01:04:28,619 it was about precognition in the show 1724 01:04:32,210 --> 01:04:29,520 too 1725 01:04:35,150 --> 01:04:32,220 so that was a nice little thing to see 1726 01:04:38,270 --> 01:04:35,160 but then we're getting ready for this 1727 01:04:40,069 --> 01:04:38,280 trip to go to Europe and my wife picked 1728 01:04:42,710 --> 01:04:40,079 up a copy of the book that I guess this 1729 01:04:46,849 --> 01:04:42,720 show is based on as they often times are 1730 01:04:48,890 --> 01:04:46,859 and we're in Europe and I got a little 1731 01:04:50,470 --> 01:04:48,900 break in Paris for the first week then 1732 01:04:54,170 --> 01:04:50,480 we headed south through the door down 1733 01:04:56,150 --> 01:04:54,180 and onto the Mediterranean and my editor 1734 01:04:59,390 --> 01:04:56,160 sent the manuscript back like dude 1735 01:05:01,609 --> 01:04:59,400 nobody's gonna have any idea who is 1736 01:05:03,049 --> 01:05:01,619 talking at any point in this book you 1737 01:05:05,030 --> 01:05:03,059 know one of my Beta readers it kind of 1738 01:05:06,890 --> 01:05:05,040 indicated that too and I was like no I 1739 01:05:08,690 --> 01:05:06,900 know I just don't know what to do turns 1740 01:05:10,730 --> 01:05:08,700 out that entire book 1741 01:05:13,190 --> 01:05:10,740 is written as dialogue 1742 01:05:14,329 --> 01:05:13,200 in the exact same way and my wife you 1743 01:05:15,710 --> 01:05:14,339 know I'm laying in bed I'm like my 1744 01:05:17,630 --> 01:05:15,720 editor just said this I don't know how 1745 01:05:19,010 --> 01:05:17,640 to finish this book now and she's like 1746 01:05:20,030 --> 01:05:19,020 actually that one we brought that we 1747 01:05:22,250 --> 01:05:20,040 were carrying around that nobody ever 1748 01:05:23,750 --> 01:05:22,260 read the entire time we're in Europe was 1749 01:05:25,730 --> 01:05:23,760 written that exact same way and opened 1750 01:05:27,289 --> 01:05:25,740 it up I said holy oh yeah that's 1751 01:05:29,150 --> 01:05:27,299 perfect I just put their names in front 1752 01:05:31,010 --> 01:05:29,160 of it like they did in this book so 1753 01:05:33,289 --> 01:05:31,020 there is precedent for it I guess I 1754 01:05:35,569 --> 01:05:33,299 didn't learn that until after the fact 1755 01:05:38,390 --> 01:05:35,579 but yeah it's being turned into an 1756 01:05:40,789 --> 01:05:38,400 audiobook right now by a couple of voice 1757 01:05:42,230 --> 01:05:40,799 actors and they're excited about that 1758 01:05:43,430 --> 01:05:42,240 you know because they just get to act 1759 01:05:45,530 --> 01:05:43,440 the whole thing 1760 01:05:48,170 --> 01:05:45,540 has just been those people in those 1761 01:05:50,089 --> 01:05:48,180 moments and saying those words and 1762 01:05:51,650 --> 01:05:50,099 putting their own twist on it but I 1763 01:05:53,569 --> 01:05:51,660 don't know it was intentional it just 1764 01:05:54,829 --> 01:05:53,579 came out that way well I really liked it 1765 01:05:57,170 --> 01:05:54,839 I thought it was really effective 1766 01:05:59,390 --> 01:05:57,180 without giving the plot away but the 1767 01:06:02,750 --> 01:05:59,400 story starts in such a very grounded 1768 01:06:06,230 --> 01:06:02,760 sort of place and then slowly kind of 1769 01:06:07,670 --> 01:06:06,240 slips into this more surreal reality and 1770 01:06:08,990 --> 01:06:07,680 I thought that because you weren't 1771 01:06:11,089 --> 01:06:09,000 getting all these like intricate 1772 01:06:13,069 --> 01:06:11,099 descriptions of everything it made it a 1773 01:06:14,329 --> 01:06:13,079 little bit more dream like and a little 1774 01:06:16,010 --> 01:06:14,339 bit more interesting I just thought it 1775 01:06:18,109 --> 01:06:16,020 was cool I think it was the right choice 1776 01:06:20,630 --> 01:06:18,119 the rest book it's great I'm glad to 1777 01:06:21,849 --> 01:06:20,640 hear you say that because I didn't do it 1778 01:06:23,990 --> 01:06:21,859 on purpose 1779 01:06:25,970 --> 01:06:24,000 and you never know something's gonna 1780 01:06:27,529 --> 01:06:25,980 turn out when you kind of buck a trend 1781 01:06:29,630 --> 01:06:27,539 like that and just right like I was 1782 01:06:31,010 --> 01:06:29,640 aware that most books have narration but 1783 01:06:32,690 --> 01:06:31,020 yeah I just I felt like it worked for 1784 01:06:35,630 --> 01:06:32,700 this too and there's enough character 1785 01:06:37,910 --> 01:06:35,640 switches and enough it I didn't go too 1786 01:06:39,589 --> 01:06:37,920 crazy with characters because you do 1787 01:06:41,329 --> 01:06:39,599 have to follow along with who's saying 1788 01:06:44,690 --> 01:06:41,339 what but that made the characters maybe 1789 01:06:46,670 --> 01:06:44,700 a little richer some more relatable some 1790 01:06:48,770 --> 01:06:46,680 that you can hate more and then obvious 1791 01:06:50,990 --> 01:06:48,780 with any Arc of a character those things 1792 01:06:52,370 --> 01:06:51,000 change but yeah it's hard because 1793 01:06:54,410 --> 01:06:52,380 there's so many things I want to say 1794 01:06:56,029 --> 01:06:54,420 like you said you can't because you 1795 01:06:58,309 --> 01:06:56,039 don't want to give away the storyline 1796 01:07:00,829 --> 01:06:58,319 and some of the twists and turns but I 1797 01:07:03,529 --> 01:07:00,839 do think that people who follow the UFO 1798 01:07:05,930 --> 01:07:03,539 phenomenon will enjoy a lot of the 1799 01:07:08,150 --> 01:07:05,940 Easter eggs and some of the not just 1800 01:07:11,630 --> 01:07:08,160 references but themes like the whole 1801 01:07:13,309 --> 01:07:11,640 cataclysm thing there was another just a 1802 01:07:16,010 --> 01:07:13,319 backtrack that was another 1803 01:07:17,809 --> 01:07:16,020 kind of main reason for writing it is 1804 01:07:19,670 --> 01:07:17,819 that whole idea about what if there are 1805 01:07:22,490 --> 01:07:19,680 two different groups of future humans 1806 01:07:23,930 --> 01:07:22,500 like Frank Melbourne and Roscoe art have 1807 01:07:25,670 --> 01:07:23,940 been talking about for a long time and 1808 01:07:27,109 --> 01:07:25,680 I've been asked about that too I've been 1809 01:07:29,270 --> 01:07:27,119 in contact with some of these people as 1810 01:07:31,130 --> 01:07:29,280 well what if that is the case what does 1811 01:07:33,470 --> 01:07:31,140 that look like in the context of our 1812 01:07:34,789 --> 01:07:33,480 future what might that mean for Humanity 1813 01:07:37,250 --> 01:07:34,799 and I think that is an important 1814 01:07:40,250 --> 01:07:37,260 question and in writing a satirical 1815 01:07:41,930 --> 01:07:40,260 science fiction book you're putting 1816 01:07:44,270 --> 01:07:41,940 things out there that 1817 01:07:45,950 --> 01:07:44,280 might make sense that might be complete 1818 01:07:47,750 --> 01:07:45,960 nonsense but you have the freedom to do 1819 01:07:49,849 --> 01:07:47,760 that and that was a really fun part 1820 01:07:51,650 --> 01:07:49,859 about writing this well it's really 1821 01:07:53,690 --> 01:07:51,660 awesome I can't recommend it enough and 1822 01:07:55,309 --> 01:07:53,700 it's a super fun read and I hope 1823 01:07:57,049 --> 01:07:55,319 Hollywood comes knocking for you because 1824 01:07:58,730 --> 01:07:57,059 it felt to me I'm like this maybe 1825 01:07:59,990 --> 01:07:58,740 because it was in that dialogue form but 1826 01:08:02,750 --> 01:08:00,000 I'm like oh my gosh this would be it 1827 01:08:04,250 --> 01:08:02,760 creepy it would be very adeptable I know 1828 01:08:06,170 --> 01:08:04,260 you wouldn't have to do it the thing 1829 01:08:08,150 --> 01:08:06,180 would be just cutting it down you'd have 1830 01:08:10,490 --> 01:08:08,160 to cut it down to where it could be a 1831 01:08:12,289 --> 01:08:10,500 script but I think that would be a super 1832 01:08:13,670 --> 01:08:12,299 easy process and I'd love to see it 1833 01:08:15,109 --> 01:08:13,680 become a Buddhism they have already got 1834 01:08:17,209 --> 01:08:15,119 actors picked out 1835 01:08:19,550 --> 01:08:17,219 well we've we're speaking it into 1836 01:08:23,329 --> 01:08:19,560 existence right now so let's do it we're 1837 01:08:24,709 --> 01:08:23,339 manifesting it absolutely so just to get 1838 01:08:27,050 --> 01:08:24,719 things wrapped up what are you working 1839 01:08:29,890 --> 01:08:27,060 on what should people expect to see from 1840 01:08:32,870 --> 01:08:29,900 you next I've always come out with 1841 01:08:34,970 --> 01:08:32,880 paperbacks ebooks and audiobooks at the 1842 01:08:37,970 --> 01:08:34,980 same time and it just wasn't possible 1843 01:08:40,370 --> 01:08:37,980 with this one because it does require 1844 01:08:43,249 --> 01:08:40,380 acting and voice characters different 1845 01:08:44,630 --> 01:08:43,259 characters for different voices so the 1846 01:08:47,030 --> 01:08:44,640 rest of my summer is probably going to 1847 01:08:48,590 --> 01:08:47,040 be spent doing that which I'm kind of 1848 01:08:50,870 --> 01:08:48,600 excited about because I've developed 1849 01:08:53,209 --> 01:08:50,880 some audio production skills being in 1850 01:08:56,150 --> 01:08:53,219 various bands over the last 1851 01:08:58,370 --> 01:08:56,160 20 years or so in recording music 1852 01:08:59,570 --> 01:08:58,380 and recording my first two audio books 1853 01:09:01,729 --> 01:08:59,580 too it's just obviously different 1854 01:09:03,229 --> 01:09:01,739 because there's more people involved now 1855 01:09:05,570 --> 01:09:03,239 for the people I'm working with are 1856 01:09:07,789 --> 01:09:05,580 really excited about it too and it's fun 1857 01:09:10,970 --> 01:09:07,799 like you said it's kind of fun and funny 1858 01:09:13,490 --> 01:09:10,980 at times so the ones involved have read 1859 01:09:15,590 --> 01:09:13,500 it or are reading it right now and are 1860 01:09:19,189 --> 01:09:15,600 excited for that and then there's a 1861 01:09:22,870 --> 01:09:19,199 mufon conference in late August I'll be 1862 01:09:26,570 --> 01:09:22,880 giving a talk at some various other 1863 01:09:30,169 --> 01:09:26,580 projects possibly a documentary that's 1864 01:09:32,329 --> 01:09:30,179 been in the works for four years with 1865 01:09:33,309 --> 01:09:32,339 five different production companies 1866 01:09:38,090 --> 01:09:33,319 because 1867 01:09:40,970 --> 01:09:38,100 covet and then unforeseen deaths and God 1868 01:09:42,470 --> 01:09:40,980 only knows what else but yeah in the 1869 01:09:45,650 --> 01:09:42,480 same way that last book might lend 1870 01:09:47,749 --> 01:09:45,660 itself well to a feature film the idea 1871 01:09:50,749 --> 01:09:47,759 itself I think 1872 01:09:53,090 --> 01:09:50,759 could reach more people as a documentary 1873 01:09:55,250 --> 01:09:53,100 or some sort of mini-series 1874 01:09:58,310 --> 01:09:55,260 a lot of people have seen that too it's 1875 01:10:01,250 --> 01:09:58,320 just been a number of issues and getting 1876 01:10:03,290 --> 01:10:01,260 that out but working with somebody now 1877 01:10:06,110 --> 01:10:03,300 who seems to be really passionate about 1878 01:10:08,750 --> 01:10:06,120 it and we seem to have a lot of Mutual 1879 01:10:10,850 --> 01:10:08,760 goals with regard to the creative 1880 01:10:12,229 --> 01:10:10,860 aspects and the storytelling and the 1881 01:10:14,150 --> 01:10:12,239 science you know the big problem was 1882 01:10:16,189 --> 01:10:14,160 that I wanted to adhere to the science 1883 01:10:17,990 --> 01:10:16,199 behind this and 1884 01:10:18,890 --> 01:10:18,000 as you're well aware and your listeners 1885 01:10:21,110 --> 01:10:18,900 are 1886 01:10:23,450 --> 01:10:21,120 um entertainment dominates everything 1887 01:10:25,430 --> 01:10:23,460 and people are so afraid to break into 1888 01:10:27,229 --> 01:10:25,440 doing something different even an idea 1889 01:10:29,630 --> 01:10:27,239 that makes a lot of sense if it doesn't 1890 01:10:31,430 --> 01:10:29,640 conform to what they know sells already 1891 01:10:33,950 --> 01:10:31,440 then it's hard to really make that 1892 01:10:35,390 --> 01:10:33,960 switch but things are changing they're 1893 01:10:37,729 --> 01:10:35,400 changing fast 1894 01:10:40,010 --> 01:10:37,739 so I'm excited to see where that goes 1895 01:10:42,530 --> 01:10:40,020 they sure are changing fast they sure 1896 01:10:44,450 --> 01:10:42,540 are well Mike it was so wonderful to 1897 01:10:47,030 --> 01:10:44,460 have
