We want to have a chat about 74 00:04:01,533 --> 00:04:05,773 Speaker 3: shark experiences. Great story overseas marine biologist. His name is 75 00:04:05,853 --> 00:04:10,173 Speaker 3: Mercurio Hoyos. He was conducting a tagging expedition of Costa 76 00:04:10,253 --> 00:04:13,573 Speaker 3: Rica when a female shark turned and bit him in 77 00:04:13,573 --> 00:04:15,653 Speaker 3: the head and face as he tried to tag its 78 00:04:15,653 --> 00:04:17,773 Speaker 3: dorsal fin. It's quite a gnarly scar if you see 79 00:04:17,813 --> 00:04:20,813 Speaker 3: the story. But amazingly he did survive. And now he 80 00:04:20,853 --> 00:04:23,933 Speaker 3: says he thinks the shark spared his life, and now 81 00:04:23,933 --> 00:04:25,853 Speaker 3: he hopes to meet that shark one day again. 82 00:04:26,053 --> 00:04:30,013 Speaker 2: So what so he thinks the shark spared his life 83 00:04:30,133 --> 00:04:31,493 Speaker 2: on purpose, had mercy on him? 84 00:04:31,533 --> 00:04:33,853 Speaker 3: Yeah, had mercy so crushed his skarle and bit his 85 00:04:33,973 --> 00:04:36,333 Speaker 3: cheek and then decided you've had enough, young man. 86 00:04:37,453 --> 00:04:39,053 Speaker 2: This is a warning. Sounds more like it didn't like 87 00:04:39,053 --> 00:04:42,013 Speaker 2: the taste of him than he spared him. I mean, 88 00:04:42,373 --> 00:04:46,413 Speaker 2: sharks aren't famous for their empathy. No, they're more famous 89 00:04:46,413 --> 00:04:49,173 Speaker 2: for being just killing machines. Yeah, but yeah, as we 90 00:04:49,173 --> 00:04:54,413 Speaker 2: were saying before the shark to our I'm supposed to 91 00:04:54,453 --> 00:04:57,413 Speaker 2: explain this, who cares. We're on from twelve and some 92 00:04:57,453 --> 00:04:59,173 Speaker 2: parts of the country and on from one another parts 93 00:04:59,173 --> 00:05:01,533 Speaker 2: of the country, So on the twelve o'clock hour, if 94 00:05:01,573 --> 00:05:04,373 Speaker 2: you care, we were talking about the sharks. Yes, so 95 00:05:04,533 --> 00:05:08,533 Speaker 2: we kill about roughly one hundred million a year humans 96 00:05:08,013 --> 00:05:11,253 Speaker 2: and and whereas sharks kill roughly nine humans a yet, 97 00:05:11,293 --> 00:05:12,533 Speaker 2: so we're definitely winning that. 98 00:05:12,493 --> 00:05:14,413 Speaker 3: Battle heavily weighted, Yeah, in our favor. 99 00:05:14,493 --> 00:05:16,773 Speaker 2: But yeah, we want to talk shark attacks after after 100 00:05:16,813 --> 00:05:18,893 Speaker 2: three o'clock. I one hundred and eighty ten eighty nine 101 00:05:18,853 --> 00:05:21,293 Speaker 2: to two ninety two doesn't have to just be a tax, 102 00:05:21,333 --> 00:05:23,253 Speaker 2: but your encounters with sharks, because I find that kind 103 00:05:23,253 --> 00:05:24,093 Speaker 2: of stuff very interesting. 104 00:05:24,133 --> 00:05:26,173 Speaker 3: And we will be catching up with doctor Riley Elliott. 105 00:05:26,413 --> 00:05:29,253 Speaker 3: He's a biologist and presenter on Discovery Channel Shark Week. 106 00:05:29,293 --> 00:05:31,413 Speaker 3: He's also known as shark Man. So if you have 107 00:05:31,413 --> 00:05:34,053 Speaker 3: got any questions for Riley that is after three o'clock. 108 00:05:34,133 --> 00:05:37,413 Speaker 3: After two o'clock, big question posted on social media that 109 00:05:37,493 --> 00:05:41,733 Speaker 3: has gone absolutely ballistic, and the question is pretty simple. 110 00:05:41,773 --> 00:05:43,853 Speaker 3: It's been asked quite a few times over recent years, 111 00:05:43,853 --> 00:05:45,973 Speaker 3: in your opinion, what is the biggest threat to humanity? 112 00:05:46,573 --> 00:05:48,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, so Science Girl was investigating this, so it was 113 00:05:48,973 --> 00:05:55,933 Speaker 2: pretty interesting. Am I sorry? AI? Misalignment biggie, that's a 114 00:05:55,973 --> 00:06:03,013 Speaker 2: biggie according to people engineered pandemics and biotechnologically biotechnological risks 115 00:06:03,093 --> 00:06:05,053 Speaker 2: is that number two? Yes, number ten, that's pretty high. 116 00:06:05,133 --> 00:06:07,613 Speaker 2: Nuclear awards three. This is existential risks. Yes, you know. 117 00:06:07,653 --> 00:06:11,093 Speaker 2: Existential refers to a potential future event that could either 118 00:06:11,173 --> 00:06:14,333 Speaker 2: cause the extinction of humanity or permanently and drastically curtail 119 00:06:14,413 --> 00:06:18,773 Speaker 2: its long term potential. Yeah, this text has said if 120 00:06:18,813 --> 00:06:21,213 Speaker 2: I hear where's this text? I said before someone said 121 00:06:21,213 --> 00:06:23,973 Speaker 2: they'd vomit if they hear the word existential more than 122 00:06:24,293 --> 00:06:25,093 Speaker 2: twice on the show. 123 00:06:25,173 --> 00:06:26,773 Speaker 3: I did see that text, and I wondered that if 124 00:06:26,813 --> 00:06:30,253 Speaker 3: you is that why you mentioned existential threat? That poor 125 00:06:30,253 --> 00:06:32,733 Speaker 3: old John is probably just spewed up into his lab. 126 00:06:33,573 --> 00:06:35,493 Speaker 3: I think it was John. He did sign his name. 127 00:06:35,853 --> 00:06:41,053 Speaker 2: It's troubling if your puke, your gag reaction is to 128 00:06:41,093 --> 00:06:45,013 Speaker 2: the word existential risk. Yeah, so nuclear war is in there, 129 00:06:45,493 --> 00:06:50,213 Speaker 2: and there's also natural pandemics, asteroid and comic impacts as 130 00:06:50,253 --> 00:06:54,413 Speaker 2: in their soup of volcano eruptions nanotechnology number ten, we've 131 00:06:54,453 --> 00:06:58,413 Speaker 2: got climate change. So existential risks, what do you think 132 00:06:58,413 --> 00:07:01,133 Speaker 2: they are to humanity? One hundred and eighty ten eighty. 133 00:07:01,173 --> 00:07:02,613 Speaker 3: That's going to be a good chat after two o'clock 134 00:07:02,693 --> 00:07:04,573 Speaker 3: right now, though, let's get into this one. So a 135 00:07:04,613 --> 00:07:07,373 Speaker 3: story in the Herald today and it says or claims 136 00:07:07,373 --> 00:07:10,093 Speaker 3: New Zealanders are thinking twice about traveling to the United States. 137 00:07:10,133 --> 00:07:13,213 Speaker 3: They say concerns are growing that political views and online 138 00:07:13,213 --> 00:07:16,253 Speaker 3: activity corps could cause trouble at the border. Some travelers 139 00:07:16,253 --> 00:07:19,173 Speaker 3: and academics say this is down to what they see 140 00:07:19,213 --> 00:07:22,493 Speaker 3: as a new hardline immigration and security measure approach, which 141 00:07:22,533 --> 00:07:26,013 Speaker 3: is creating anxiety for some Kiwis. However, others reject suggestions 142 00:07:26,013 --> 00:07:28,773 Speaker 3: of widespread targeting and say the number of kiwi's having 143 00:07:28,813 --> 00:07:32,213 Speaker 3: trouble at the border is insignificant compared to the tens 144 00:07:32,253 --> 00:07:35,613 Speaker 3: of thousands who travel on a yearly basis without any problems. 145 00:07:36,013 --> 00:07:38,933 Speaker 2: Yeah, so, is this just a media beat up? Because 146 00:07:39,533 --> 00:07:41,373 Speaker 2: I've got a bunch of friends that have gone over 147 00:07:41,373 --> 00:07:43,733 Speaker 2: to the States in the last year and it's just 148 00:07:43,813 --> 00:07:46,933 Speaker 2: been the same as it always has been. So thirty 149 00:07:46,973 --> 00:07:51,493 Speaker 2: six what was the number exactly happened to thirty six people? 150 00:07:51,973 --> 00:07:55,173 Speaker 3: So thirty six people needed assistance from in fat when 151 00:07:55,333 --> 00:07:58,533 Speaker 3: entering the United States. That was up from nine last year. 152 00:07:59,333 --> 00:08:02,013 Speaker 3: But look, that is where stats can get a little 153 00:08:02,053 --> 00:08:05,493 Speaker 3: bit undone, right, is that has the number of keiw 154 00:08:05,493 --> 00:08:07,493 Speaker 3: wei's gone over to the United States this year been 155 00:08:07,493 --> 00:08:08,293 Speaker 3: more than last year? 156 00:08:08,453 --> 00:08:09,013 Speaker 2: Potentially? 157 00:08:09,253 --> 00:08:09,333 Speaker 6: No? 158 00:08:09,533 --> 00:08:12,573 Speaker 2: Less? Oh less, it's sound ten percent? Yeah, and that 159 00:08:12,653 --> 00:08:16,173 Speaker 2: maybe to do with anxiety around getting in. It could 160 00:08:16,173 --> 00:08:20,653 Speaker 2: be also anxiety around the exchange rate, or anxiety around 161 00:08:20,653 --> 00:08:22,413 Speaker 2: the cost of living crisis and things like that. So 162 00:08:22,453 --> 00:08:25,533 Speaker 2: there's a lot there, So who knows. I'm trying to 163 00:08:25,533 --> 00:08:28,213 Speaker 2: think of a joke around im fat and America but 164 00:08:28,853 --> 00:08:30,933 Speaker 2: in getting fat, But I can't. I can't, I can't. 165 00:08:31,253 --> 00:08:32,253 Speaker 2: Someone might be able to help me. 166 00:08:32,333 --> 00:08:34,533 Speaker 3: It's got the pieces, got it all there, it just 167 00:08:34,573 --> 00:08:36,013 Speaker 3: needs to be six together. 168 00:08:36,173 --> 00:08:39,533 Speaker 2: Someone might help me miss that. So, yeah, have you 169 00:08:39,653 --> 00:08:42,093 Speaker 2: been to the States recently, because I'd hate for people 170 00:08:42,093 --> 00:08:44,533 Speaker 2: to be unduly anxious about it if they don't, you know, 171 00:08:45,333 --> 00:08:47,492 Speaker 2: you know, if it's just a media beat up.

Nothing has changed with 648 00:29:54,253 --> 00:29:56,293 Speaker 2: regards to getting into the US. The only thing that 649 00:29:56,453 --> 00:29:58,613 Speaker 2: has is if people don't do their job, they are 650 00:29:58,693 --> 00:29:59,413 Speaker 2: held accountable. 651 00:29:59,453 --> 00:29:59,573 Speaker 7: Being. 652 00:29:59,893 --> 00:30:01,293 Speaker 2: One thing you've got to do in the States is 653 00:30:01,333 --> 00:30:04,293 Speaker 2: if you're going over there to work.

Good. 674 00:30:58,773 --> 00:31:02,413 Speaker 7: Yeah, well so. 675 00:31:04,653 --> 00:31:07,053 Speaker 17: It's it's It saddens my heart to say it, but 676 00:31:07,213 --> 00:31:09,333 Speaker 17: I would not come to the It States right now. 677 00:31:09,373 --> 00:31:14,773 Speaker 17: They're in incidents like a Canadian woman who overstayed her 678 00:31:14,813 --> 00:31:17,333 Speaker 17: visa for one day and she went in to renew 679 00:31:17,373 --> 00:31:19,453 Speaker 17: it and they put her in jail for two weeks 680 00:31:19,493 --> 00:31:23,773 Speaker 17: without contact with the lawyer, detained her. I believe, with 681 00:31:23,813 --> 00:31:26,973 Speaker 17: the lights on all night, no sleep, no comfortable bed, 682 00:31:27,213 --> 00:31:31,253 Speaker 17: just laying on the floor. And the more friendly you 683 00:31:31,293 --> 00:31:33,053 Speaker 17: are to the United States, and the more of a 684 00:31:33,093 --> 00:31:38,173 Speaker 17: democracy you are, the more Donald Trash hates you. I myself, 685 00:31:38,733 --> 00:31:40,693 Speaker 17: I will be I have a burner phone on me 686 00:31:40,813 --> 00:31:43,653 Speaker 17: right now, and before I enter customs, I will be 687 00:31:43,693 --> 00:31:46,773 Speaker 17: deleting everything on my phone. One thing that you should 688 00:31:46,813 --> 00:31:49,693 Speaker 17: keep in mind is that they use biometrics. They scan 689 00:31:49,813 --> 00:31:53,653 Speaker 17: your face, but they also scan your Facebook, your Instagram, 690 00:31:53,693 --> 00:31:55,773 Speaker 17: anything else you might have to see. If maybe you've 691 00:31:55,813 --> 00:31:59,733 Speaker 17: said something like oh, I support the Palestinians or some 692 00:31:59,893 --> 00:32:04,533 Speaker 17: other thing that the administration or i'd call them regime 693 00:32:05,653 --> 00:32:07,413 Speaker 17: would want to be looking. 694 00:32:07,333 --> 00:32:10,453 Speaker 2: What's what that Canadians because wasn't that Because the problem 695 00:32:10,533 --> 00:32:12,293 Speaker 2: right now is all the news we get, when you 696 00:32:12,333 --> 00:32:14,733 Speaker 2: look into it, it's often not true. But I read 697 00:32:14,773 --> 00:32:16,933 Speaker 2: about that Canadian one that that turned out to not 698 00:32:17,053 --> 00:32:19,853 Speaker 2: be exactly as the media is reporting it with with 699 00:32:20,013 --> 00:32:23,813 Speaker 2: that woman was that was detained. I'll just look it up. 700 00:32:23,853 --> 00:32:26,453 Speaker 2: But I think that was because because sometimes you'll have 701 00:32:26,493 --> 00:32:28,533 Speaker 2: to have met Curtis that these things come out on 702 00:32:28,573 --> 00:32:30,693 Speaker 2: social media and they come out and when you actually 703 00:32:30,733 --> 00:32:33,613 Speaker 2: look into them, they're they're they're quite different. But I've 704 00:32:33,613 --> 00:32:37,693 Speaker 2: had going into Canada's quite The Canadian border is quite 705 00:32:37,693 --> 00:32:40,893 Speaker 2: an intense situation getting in, isn't it. 706 00:32:41,013 --> 00:32:44,733 Speaker 17: In my experience, I even did commercial work up there. 707 00:32:44,773 --> 00:32:47,053 Speaker 17: I was searched all but one time I've been to Canada. 708 00:32:47,133 --> 00:32:51,133 Speaker 17: But they're very nice about it and the rights. Yeah, 709 00:32:51,173 --> 00:32:54,893 Speaker 17: and it's it's a wonderful country. I may be I 710 00:32:54,973 --> 00:32:58,533 Speaker 17: may be missing some information, uh you know, on the 711 00:32:58,573 --> 00:33:02,133 Speaker 17: Canadian woman, but I tell you this has happened multiple times. 712 00:33:02,133 --> 00:33:05,733 Speaker 17: Another risk that you may face is that uh, they 713 00:33:06,053 --> 00:33:09,293 Speaker 17: they are a new thing which the Supreme Court in 714 00:33:09,293 --> 00:33:13,133 Speaker 17: the United States has been uh or the court system 715 00:33:13,133 --> 00:33:15,893 Speaker 17: in general below the Supreme Court has been striking down. 716 00:33:16,133 --> 00:33:18,573 Speaker 17: Is this idea that you can deport people to any 717 00:33:18,653 --> 00:33:21,533 Speaker 17: lousy country that you that you want to. For instance, 718 00:33:22,613 --> 00:33:25,893 Speaker 17: you're probably all familiar with a man from El Salvador 719 00:33:25,973 --> 00:33:30,133 Speaker 17: who they continue to try to deport to some country 720 00:33:30,133 --> 00:33:34,493 Speaker 17: in Africa. I forget which one. But you your your 721 00:33:34,573 --> 00:33:37,373 Speaker 17: due process in other words, you're right to a trial. Uh, 722 00:33:37,653 --> 00:33:40,653 Speaker 17: your your ability to speak. 723 00:33:40,333 --> 00:33:42,733 Speaker 2: Of the lawyer, or if you're if you're if you're 724 00:33:42,773 --> 00:33:44,293 Speaker 2: not an American citizen. 725 00:33:44,893 --> 00:33:47,893 Speaker 17: Yes, which is not which is not constitutional. 726 00:33:48,013 --> 00:33:51,453 Speaker 2: But we're we're so in America because in New Zealand, 727 00:33:51,493 --> 00:33:54,493 Speaker 2: if you're not a citizen, then you get deported. If 728 00:33:54,493 --> 00:33:57,973 Speaker 2: you come to New Zealand and you and you're not 729 00:33:58,253 --> 00:34:01,213 Speaker 2: here legally, you get deported, right is it so? Is 730 00:34:01,213 --> 00:34:03,173 Speaker 2: it different in the States, And it is here in 731 00:34:03,213 --> 00:34:03,773 Speaker 2: New Zealand. 732 00:34:04,933 --> 00:34:07,613 Speaker 17: You absolutely have a right in the United States to 733 00:34:07,693 --> 00:34:13,133 Speaker 17: do process no matter where you come from. Unfortunately, with 734 00:34:13,253 --> 00:34:16,773 Speaker 17: this administration, they will violate that right. 735 00:34:16,933 --> 00:34:19,333 Speaker 2: So as a as a different now than it was 736 00:34:19,973 --> 00:34:22,653 Speaker 2: under under Biden and Obama. 737 00:34:23,933 --> 00:34:26,053 Speaker 17: Only in action, the law is still the same. 738 00:34:26,013 --> 00:34:30,173 Speaker 2: Right right? Okay? And so and so how you in 739 00:34:30,373 --> 00:34:34,653 Speaker 2: New Zealand?

Uh I do materials testing and 743 00:34:48,573 --> 00:34:51,693 Speaker 17: civil work. I would love to, But mainly I'm just 744 00:34:51,773 --> 00:34:54,493 Speaker 17: down here to get away from my own country's craziness 745 00:34:54,533 --> 00:34:56,573 Speaker 17: and and see something new. 746 00:34:57,013 --> 00:34:59,973 Speaker 2: You're covered from back surgery, so you're on holiday. 747 00:35:00,413 --> 00:35:02,013 Speaker 17: I am, oh. 748 00:35:02,053 --> 00:35:04,333 Speaker 2: Well, well, I hope you're enjoying the country.

Getting into New Zealand. 751 00:35:11,373 --> 00:35:16,693 Speaker 17: Out of the states, you just register, They recommend seventy 752 00:35:16,693 --> 00:35:20,693 Speaker 17: two hours prayor to your departure that you register with 753 00:35:20,853 --> 00:35:25,413 Speaker 17: easy ETA, and they just I think they just go 754 00:35:25,533 --> 00:35:27,613 Speaker 17: through your background and make sure you're not a risk 755 00:35:27,693 --> 00:35:31,773 Speaker 17: and once that's approved, once you once you arrived, you 756 00:35:31,773 --> 00:35:34,573 Speaker 17: you just fill out either electronically or will pay per 757 00:35:34,653 --> 00:35:38,652 Speaker 17: form declaring your intentions. And then probably the hardest part 758 00:35:38,693 --> 00:35:41,373 Speaker 17: and very understandable, is they want to look at the 759 00:35:41,373 --> 00:35:43,652 Speaker 17: bottom of your shoes.

Engineered 836 00:39:28,813 --> 00:39:31,252 Speaker 2: pandemic surprises me a little bit. Then that's number two. 837 00:39:31,293 --> 00:39:33,893 Speaker 2: The nuclear war. Yeah, I agree with that one. But 838 00:39:34,013 --> 00:39:38,693 Speaker 2: what do you reckon? Is the biggest existential risk to humanity? 839 00:39:39,333 --> 00:39:41,773 Speaker 3: Eighte hundred eighty ten eighty is the number of call 840 00:39:41,813 --> 00:39:42,453 Speaker 3: nineteen nine two. 841 00:39:42,613 --> 00:39:45,213 Speaker 2: And apologies to John who texted before and said if 842 00:39:45,213 --> 00:39:49,252 Speaker 2: he heard a news talk z'd be broadcast to say 843 00:39:49,333 --> 00:39:52,413 Speaker 2: extential existential risk again, he'd thrown up. Yeah, sorry mate. 844 00:39:52,413 --> 00:39:54,732 Speaker 2: So if you're still listening to John, yeah, I'll try 845 00:39:54,733 --> 00:39:58,772 Speaker 2: and say existential risk less because it's an existential risk 846 00:39:58,813 --> 00:39:59,453 Speaker 2: to you vomiting. 847 00:39:59,853 --> 00:40:02,333 Speaker 3: Yeah, so big one though for you, mate, I mean genuinely, 848 00:40:02,653 --> 00:40:04,573 Speaker 3: can you look at any on those lists and think 849 00:40:04,653 --> 00:40:07,773 Speaker 3: that that is a real possibility in your lifetime? 850 00:40:08,333 --> 00:40:13,533 Speaker 2: I think we underestimate nuclear war. I think people think 851 00:40:13,533 --> 00:40:15,933 Speaker 2: that was sort of an eighties issue, but there's still 852 00:40:15,933 --> 00:40:19,292 Speaker 2: a hell of a lot of nukes around, and technology 853 00:40:19,933 --> 00:40:23,253 Speaker 2: is the way it goes. It's going to be easier 854 00:40:23,333 --> 00:40:26,772 Speaker 2: for rogue operators to get nukes in the future. Yeah, 855 00:40:27,293 --> 00:40:30,493 Speaker 2: I don't know if that means the end of all humanity. 856 00:40:30,893 --> 00:40:34,413 Speaker 2: I mean, it depends how you define an existential risk. 857 00:40:34,693 --> 00:40:38,493 Speaker 2: So an existential risk, according to the Oxford Dictionaries to 858 00:40:38,573 --> 00:40:41,692 Speaker 2: Find refers to a potential future event that could either 859 00:40:41,733 --> 00:40:44,973 Speaker 2: cause the extinction of humanity or permanently and drastically curtail 860 00:40:45,053 --> 00:40:47,973 Speaker 2: its long term potential. So that's a bit that's a 861 00:40:47,973 --> 00:40:52,013 Speaker 2: bit different, isn't it. Drastically curtail its long term potential 862 00:40:52,133 --> 00:40:56,013 Speaker 2: is different from extinction. And I imagine if you had 863 00:40:57,613 --> 00:41:01,133 Speaker 2: twenty five nukes going off even yeah, which is a 864 00:41:01,213 --> 00:41:04,933 Speaker 2: very small part of the global arsenal, I can imagine 865 00:41:05,053 --> 00:41:09,053 Speaker 2: that curtailing our potential nastily absolutely going to go. Well, 866 00:41:09,093 --> 00:41:09,933 Speaker 2: I mentioned this to you. 867 00:41:10,133 --> 00:41:12,212 Speaker 3: It's a movie that's on Netflix at the moment called 868 00:41:12,253 --> 00:41:15,212 Speaker 3: House of Dynamite, And you know, it's an average kind 869 00:41:15,213 --> 00:41:16,533 Speaker 3: of movie when you look at the third part of 870 00:41:16,533 --> 00:41:19,013 Speaker 3: the act, but it's very well researched, and the premise 871 00:41:19,133 --> 00:41:22,653 Speaker 3: is that there's an intercontinental ballistic missile that's been fired 872 00:41:22,693 --> 00:41:25,213 Speaker 3: to the United States, and they don't know who's fired it, 873 00:41:25,253 --> 00:41:27,533 Speaker 3: so it goes through the various elements of the US 874 00:41:27,653 --> 00:41:30,573 Speaker 3: government and when they spot this. But what was terrifying, 875 00:41:30,933 --> 00:41:33,693 Speaker 3: and again this is very well researched, is their ability 876 00:41:33,733 --> 00:41:36,813 Speaker 3: to shoot down one of those into continental balistic missiles. 877 00:41:36,893 --> 00:41:39,733 Speaker 3: It's very minimal. I've effectively got one shot as it's 878 00:41:39,773 --> 00:41:42,973 Speaker 3: heading into the into orbit and if it gets there 879 00:41:42,973 --> 00:41:45,493 Speaker 3: and they miss it, then that's bug it. But then 880 00:41:45,533 --> 00:41:47,212 Speaker 3: it kind of goes into Right, we don't know who 881 00:41:47,213 --> 00:41:50,213 Speaker 3: did it. But here's your options, mister president, and we 882 00:41:50,293 --> 00:41:53,933 Speaker 3: suggest you go all out. Go for Russia, go for China, 883 00:41:54,013 --> 00:41:56,653 Speaker 3: go for North Korea. But it's a terrifying watch. Granted 884 00:41:56,653 --> 00:42:00,172 Speaker 3: it's just a movie, but the ability to actually make 885 00:42:00,213 --> 00:42:03,213 Speaker 3: decisions if that was to happen, say North Korea rogue state, 886 00:42:04,053 --> 00:42:04,853 Speaker 3: well worth watch. 887 00:42:05,053 --> 00:42:07,813 Speaker 2: Yeah, this texasys is the biggest risk to humanity is 888 00:42:07,893 --> 00:42:11,133 Speaker 2: humanity South? But what about super volcanoes. 889 00:42:11,333 --> 00:42:14,053 Speaker 3: Yeah, don't forget about super volcanoes, which came in at. 890 00:42:14,013 --> 00:42:19,613 Speaker 2: Number supervolcanoes comes in at number seven. 891 00:42:19,733 --> 00:42:21,333 Speaker 3: That's pretty high. It's pretty high. 892 00:42:21,373 --> 00:42:25,733 Speaker 2: The massive eruption ej Yellowstan Yellowstone adjecting ash causing years 893 00:42:25,813 --> 00:42:30,973 Speaker 2: long global cooling and crop failures, or asteroid orchomic impacts, 894 00:42:31,133 --> 00:42:35,252 Speaker 2: collision with a large near earth object causing global dust clouds, tsunamis, 895 00:42:35,333 --> 00:42:38,652 Speaker 2: and climate disruption. That's at six, so you know that's 896 00:42:38,693 --> 00:42:42,253 Speaker 2: not humidity itself. No, there are things that are outside 897 00:42:42,453 --> 00:42:45,293 Speaker 2: even the control of human beings. 898 00:42:45,573 --> 00:42:47,533 Speaker 3: So come on through. What do you think is the 899 00:42:47,533 --> 00:42:49,773 Speaker 3: biggest threat to humanity? Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten 900 00:42:49,813 --> 00:42:52,053 Speaker 3: eighty is that number nine two ninety two is the 901 00:42:52,093 --> 00:42:52,693 Speaker 3: text number? 902 00:42:52,733 --> 00:42:55,253 Speaker 2: This is interesting. So jc's humans are the biggest risk. 903 00:42:55,333 --> 00:42:58,213 Speaker 2: There are too many of us using too many resources. 904 00:42:58,373 --> 00:43:01,213 Speaker 2: Then you have crazy humans that could end at all well, 905 00:43:01,253 --> 00:43:05,652 Speaker 2: interestingly enough, number eleven biggest risk to humanity at the 906 00:43:05,733 --> 00:43:10,373 Speaker 2: moment is, according to this is population decrease. 907 00:43:10,613 --> 00:43:13,013 Speaker 3: Right, that is a terrifying so element to it. 908 00:43:13,013 --> 00:43:15,133 Speaker 2: So there actually aren't enough humans at the moment. 909 00:43:15,253 --> 00:43:18,413 Speaker 3: Need to have more babies. Yeah, yeah, right, Beck. It 910 00:43:18,493 --> 00:43:21,773 Speaker 3: is eleven past two. 911 00:43:21,173 --> 00:43:25,373 Speaker 1: Your home of afternoon talk, Mad Heathen Taylor Adams afternoons 912 00:43:25,573 --> 00:43:28,652 Speaker 1: call eight hundred eighty ten eighty youth talk said, be. 913 00:43:29,893 --> 00:43:32,213 Speaker 3: Very good afternoon too. So we are talking about what 914 00:43:32,293 --> 00:43:35,053 Speaker 3: you think are the greatest threats to humanity. It was 915 00:43:35,173 --> 00:43:38,613 Speaker 3: posed on a social media and it's gone blestic. So 916 00:43:38,693 --> 00:43:40,173 Speaker 3: can you get your thoughts on this? One hundred and 917 00:43:40,213 --> 00:43:40,772 Speaker 3: eighteen eighty. 918 00:43:40,853 --> 00:43:43,573 Speaker 2: Do you agree that the number one is AI misalignment, 919 00:43:43,733 --> 00:43:48,093 Speaker 2: power seeking or uncontrolled superintelligence Advanced AI system especially those 920 00:43:48,293 --> 00:43:52,293 Speaker 2: achieving or surpassing human level intelligence, becoming misaligned with human values, 921 00:43:52,453 --> 00:43:55,933 Speaker 2: pursuing goals that lead to human extinction or subjugation, such 922 00:43:55,933 --> 00:44:00,293 Speaker 2: as resource optimization at humanity's expense. That sounds pretty scary. 923 00:44:00,653 --> 00:44:02,613 Speaker 2: That's what most people think is the biggest threat to 924 00:44:02,693 --> 00:44:05,053 Speaker 2: us at the moment. Edward, Welcome to the show. 925 00:44:06,373 --> 00:44:09,652 Speaker 6: Oh hey, there, I was waiting. A couple of people 926 00:44:09,693 --> 00:44:12,413 Speaker 6: already said I wasn't going to say, but I'm surprised 927 00:44:12,453 --> 00:44:15,533 Speaker 6: that number one isn't humans. I mean, we talk about 928 00:44:15,653 --> 00:44:19,573 Speaker 6: nuclear war, we talk about AI. We're the ones that 929 00:44:19,613 --> 00:44:20,973 Speaker 6: create this and allow it to happen. 930 00:44:21,253 --> 00:44:26,493 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, apart from in this list, apart from 931 00:44:26,733 --> 00:44:31,212 Speaker 2: you know, asteroids, commets and super volcanoes. Then that you're right, 932 00:44:31,533 --> 00:44:32,973 Speaker 2: they're all our fault AI. 933 00:44:34,613 --> 00:44:37,853 Speaker 6: Yeah, we did, and if we don't control it. H 934 00:44:37,853 --> 00:44:40,373 Speaker 6: I mean there's also those movies about the robots taking over. 935 00:44:40,693 --> 00:44:44,013 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that there's a tricky position for us 936 00:44:44,013 --> 00:44:46,533 Speaker 3: to be. And if we're our own biggest threat, I mean, 937 00:44:46,853 --> 00:44:48,853 Speaker 3: you know, that's a pretty you know, what do we 938 00:44:48,893 --> 00:44:51,293 Speaker 3: do about that? You need humans here, And if we're 939 00:44:51,493 --> 00:44:54,733 Speaker 3: our own biggest threats, then we're you know, up the 940 00:44:54,733 --> 00:44:55,493 Speaker 3: creek without a pedal. 941 00:44:55,493 --> 00:44:57,493 Speaker 2: So how do we sort ourselves out edward? 942 00:44:58,093 --> 00:45:00,453 Speaker 6: Well, the problem is we've got to stop ignoring the 943 00:45:00,453 --> 00:45:04,413 Speaker 6: destruction we're doing to the ecosystem. I mean, there was 944 00:45:04,413 --> 00:45:06,973 Speaker 6: no such thing as mic group plastics and all that 945 00:45:07,013 --> 00:45:09,813 Speaker 6: sort of climate change and all that before we came along. 946 00:45:10,173 --> 00:45:11,293 Speaker 2: Well, there was there was a lot. There was a 947 00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:13,533 Speaker 2: lot of climate rage going along before we came along, 948 00:45:14,053 --> 00:45:16,013 Speaker 2: I mean ice age and such. 949 00:45:16,973 --> 00:45:18,933 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, there was those, but we've accelerated that. 950 00:45:20,173 --> 00:45:22,893 Speaker 2: My I remember, I remember when I was that primary school. 951 00:45:22,893 --> 00:45:25,813 Speaker 2: Once said was my school teacher said, what is who's 952 00:45:25,853 --> 00:45:30,773 Speaker 2: more powerful? Humans or nature? And I said humans, miss 953 00:45:30,773 --> 00:45:33,453 Speaker 2: so Larry, Humans And she said, really, what about the sun? 954 00:45:33,893 --> 00:45:38,093 Speaker 2: What about what about comets? What about all these you know, 955 00:45:38,213 --> 00:45:41,933 Speaker 2: natural phenomena? And there was undoubtedly there are the nature 956 00:45:42,013 --> 00:45:45,373 Speaker 2: is stronger than humans. Definitely the sun it's pretty powerful. 957 00:45:46,013 --> 00:45:49,733 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean they're just like the things like 958 00:45:49,813 --> 00:45:53,933 Speaker 6: we know the population and insect populations that we destroyed. 959 00:45:54,893 --> 00:45:56,493 Speaker 5: I mean that does scare me? 960 00:45:57,053 --> 00:46:00,652 Speaker 2: What I about that? By the biodiversity losses number ten 961 00:46:00,693 --> 00:46:05,093 Speaker 2: on this list of irreversible as described as a reversal 962 00:46:05,133 --> 00:46:08,173 Speaker 2: ecosystem degradation leading to loss of life support systems and 963 00:46:08,413 --> 00:46:10,292 Speaker 2: vied by climate and pollution. I mean that what's happening 964 00:46:10,333 --> 00:46:12,853 Speaker 2: in the oceans is terrifying, Edward. And we need the bugs. 965 00:46:13,933 --> 00:46:15,613 Speaker 6: We did the bugs, and we do need the ocean, 966 00:46:15,653 --> 00:46:19,493 Speaker 6: and we do need those sea creatures in there. And 967 00:46:19,533 --> 00:46:22,453 Speaker 6: the sad thing is we all know it, we all 968 00:46:22,733 --> 00:46:26,733 Speaker 6: know we're doing wrong. But do we change? 969 00:46:27,213 --> 00:46:29,613 Speaker 2: Do you do you think you are doing enough to 970 00:46:30,093 --> 00:46:32,893 Speaker 2: protect the bugs and the oceans? Edward? 971 00:46:35,493 --> 00:46:38,933 Speaker 6: Well, I'm sitting in my sex cylinder cars making a cigarette. 972 00:46:40,053 --> 00:46:46,732 Speaker 2: Good life man, So you're you're doing your bit? Yeah yeah, I. 973 00:46:46,693 --> 00:46:51,772 Speaker 6: Mean I recycle, I try to reuse things. I try 974 00:46:51,813 --> 00:46:54,893 Speaker 6: to have as little waste as possible. But but really, 975 00:46:54,973 --> 00:46:58,652 Speaker 6: you know, I'm buying I'm buying products that made them, 976 00:46:58,693 --> 00:47:01,493 Speaker 6: factories that are pumping smoke out of the episode. Yeah. 977 00:47:01,493 --> 00:47:05,973 Speaker 2: Well that's the thing, isn't it. I Look, I'm shifting 978 00:47:05,973 --> 00:47:08,213 Speaker 2: house at the moment. Edward and the amount of cra 979 00:47:08,373 --> 00:47:10,413 Speaker 2: app I've bought that I don't need. And so if 980 00:47:10,413 --> 00:47:12,853 Speaker 2: you're if people are worried about you know, their effect 981 00:47:13,053 --> 00:47:17,813 Speaker 2: on the environment and you know, wastage of resources and such, 982 00:47:18,573 --> 00:47:20,773 Speaker 2: we could we could start by not buying so much 983 00:47:20,813 --> 00:47:22,533 Speaker 2: crap we don't need that we have to throw and 984 00:47:22,573 --> 00:47:24,853 Speaker 2: a skip wm move houses.

Have a look 1036 00:49:28,893 --> 00:49:32,733 Speaker 2: at Japan, South Korea and China's projections and what it 1037 00:49:32,773 --> 00:49:36,333 Speaker 2: will do to their economies. Yeah, population collapse is a 1038 00:49:36,773 --> 00:49:39,693 Speaker 2: terrifying if you look into it, and what's happening in China, 1039 00:49:40,213 --> 00:49:43,533 Speaker 2: South Korea that it is terrifying and New Zealand. Yeah, 1040 00:49:44,053 --> 00:49:47,893 Speaker 2: but particularly on Japan. As I've said before, they're selling 1041 00:49:47,933 --> 00:49:53,413 Speaker 2: more adult Nepeas than than babies. Nappe's Japan Japan at 1042 00:49:53,413 --> 00:49:55,093 Speaker 2: the moment, Tullas, Welcome to the show. 1043 00:49:56,173 --> 00:50:01,213 Speaker 14: Hi, guys, just in passing a terrifying notion is the 1044 00:50:01,253 --> 00:50:04,853 Speaker 14: idea of limited nuclear war. You know that's that's a 1045 00:50:04,973 --> 00:50:07,653 Speaker 14: terrifying idea and a false. 1046 00:50:07,373 --> 00:50:10,013 Speaker 2: Swun isn't it limited? Limited? 1047 00:50:10,093 --> 00:50:10,293 Speaker 20: New Q? 1048 00:50:10,453 --> 00:50:11,693 Speaker 2: Well, what do you mean by that? Dallas? 1049 00:50:12,493 --> 00:50:14,893 Speaker 14: You know that you can you can take out another 1050 00:50:14,933 --> 00:50:20,493 Speaker 14: small country and not affect anyone. And I think a 1051 00:50:20,573 --> 00:50:22,733 Speaker 14: lot of young people might have this notion, you know, 1052 00:50:22,893 --> 00:50:29,173 Speaker 14: from who haven't seen the destructive effects of nuclear that 1053 00:50:29,773 --> 00:50:35,133 Speaker 14: we have. But I agree that the biggest threat is 1054 00:50:35,293 --> 00:50:39,493 Speaker 14: humanity itself, but not all humans. It's only those humans 1055 00:50:39,653 --> 00:50:46,493 Speaker 14: who feel specially called to be special, superior to everyone else, 1056 00:50:46,733 --> 00:50:50,173 Speaker 14: or either them or their country, or their ethnic group 1057 00:50:51,333 --> 00:50:54,653 Speaker 14: or their religion the superior to everything else. This is 1058 00:50:54,693 --> 00:50:58,293 Speaker 14: the greatest threat because from that, if you feel called 1059 00:50:58,733 --> 00:51:03,693 Speaker 14: by higher power to fulfill God's will on earth, you 1060 00:51:03,733 --> 00:51:08,573 Speaker 14: know through your eyes, that's a very terrific. 1061 00:51:10,213 --> 00:51:13,573 Speaker 2: It's interesting, though, isn't it, because there's been a decline 1062 00:51:14,013 --> 00:51:17,773 Speaker 2: in believing in God and our country, particularly in a 1063 00:51:17,813 --> 00:51:21,813 Speaker 2: cline in church going. Do you worry that there's a 1064 00:51:21,853 --> 00:51:24,493 Speaker 2: saying that there's a god like God sized hole in 1065 00:51:24,533 --> 00:51:29,093 Speaker 2: everyone's heart and it can be filled with spirituality, But 1066 00:51:29,293 --> 00:51:33,812 Speaker 2: now people seem to be filling that hole with politics, 1067 00:51:33,213 --> 00:51:38,373 Speaker 2: and it can kind of have that effect where people 1068 00:51:38,533 --> 00:51:43,293 Speaker 2: become zealous for whatever particular tribe they've decided to decide 1069 00:51:43,893 --> 00:51:47,172 Speaker 2: to sign up to on the political spectrum, does that 1070 00:51:47,213 --> 00:51:48,213 Speaker 2: concern you at all? Else? 1071 00:51:49,133 --> 00:51:52,893 Speaker 14: Yeah, especially a Republican party in the American movement has 1072 00:51:52,933 --> 00:51:59,413 Speaker 14: been refused religious fervor and religious in timemism with political 1073 00:51:59,933 --> 00:52:02,373 Speaker 14: The two have come together that the world's going to 1074 00:52:02,453 --> 00:52:02,893 Speaker 14: end soon. 1075 00:52:03,253 --> 00:52:04,173 Speaker 7: But that's through. 1076 00:52:05,773 --> 00:52:10,133 Speaker 14: Whatever, you know, whether it's restoring of Israel and make 1077 00:52:10,173 --> 00:52:12,533 Speaker 14: it ready for Christ to come again and all the 1078 00:52:12,573 --> 00:52:13,333 Speaker 14: sort of thinking. 1079 00:52:13,693 --> 00:52:15,493 Speaker 2: Do you worry that you do? You worry with that 1080 00:52:15,613 --> 00:52:21,093 Speaker 2: kind of thinking. That that the reason why we we 1081 00:52:21,133 --> 00:52:22,973 Speaker 2: concentrate a lot on America because that's where all the 1082 00:52:22,973 --> 00:52:26,732 Speaker 2: social media comes out of, and our media is very 1083 00:52:26,733 --> 00:52:31,813 Speaker 2: obsessed with America more so than even within America. We 1084 00:52:31,813 --> 00:52:34,252 Speaker 2: we look that way, whereas there's a lot of other 1085 00:52:34,293 --> 00:52:36,853 Speaker 2: stuff happening in different countries that are bigger than the 1086 00:52:36,933 --> 00:52:40,133 Speaker 2: United States of America that we just are not concentrating on. 1087 00:52:40,213 --> 00:52:43,413 Speaker 2: A because they're not democracies, therefore we don't hear everything 1088 00:52:43,453 --> 00:52:47,853 Speaker 2: that's going going on, and and B because you know, 1089 00:52:47,893 --> 00:52:50,692 Speaker 2: they don't they don't create the media that that we 1090 00:52:50,973 --> 00:52:51,693 Speaker 2: freely take on. 1091 00:52:53,093 --> 00:52:56,293 Speaker 14: Yeah, Like for example, China has they feel they're got 1092 00:52:56,293 --> 00:53:00,692 Speaker 14: a divine right to take over Taiwan. Russia feels they 1093 00:53:00,693 --> 00:53:03,293 Speaker 14: have a to right, divine right to take over Ukraine. 1094 00:53:04,573 --> 00:53:09,933 Speaker 14: The Palestinians they have a divine right to live in Palestine. 1095 00:53:10,013 --> 00:53:13,453 Speaker 14: The Israelis feel they have a divine right to conquer 1096 00:53:14,213 --> 00:53:18,573 Speaker 14: Palestine and live exclusively there themselves. So yeah, it's got 1097 00:53:19,133 --> 00:53:23,212 Speaker 14: this divine right is a very dangerous thing, I think. 1098 00:53:24,373 --> 00:53:25,853 Speaker 2: I mean, do you do you have any do you 1099 00:53:25,933 --> 00:53:28,493 Speaker 2: feel like you've got any divine right to any thing? Dallas? 1100 00:53:28,533 --> 00:53:31,493 Speaker 2: Is there anything that that you think that you would 1101 00:53:31,573 --> 00:53:36,453 Speaker 2: protect with with your with your life, any small page. 1102 00:53:37,853 --> 00:53:40,573 Speaker 14: That's a good question, Matt. It's like about another hour's 1103 00:53:40,613 --> 00:53:41,413 Speaker 14: discussion there. 1104 00:53:41,933 --> 00:53:43,252 Speaker 3: There's a lot there, There's a lot. 1105 00:53:43,693 --> 00:53:47,973 Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, I'll have to think about that. But I 1106 00:53:48,093 --> 00:53:50,853 Speaker 14: feel we want I mean, as humans, we all feel 1107 00:53:50,893 --> 00:53:53,333 Speaker 14: we're sly. We all sort of feel we're going to 1108 00:53:53,373 --> 00:53:55,053 Speaker 14: live forever, especially when we're young. 1109 00:53:55,213 --> 00:53:56,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. Yeah. 1110 00:53:57,173 --> 00:53:58,772 Speaker 3: Do you think I'm not you know, I'm not. I'm 1111 00:53:58,813 --> 00:54:03,133 Speaker 3: not religious in the traditional sense, Dallas, But more and 1112 00:54:03,253 --> 00:54:06,652 Speaker 3: more I'm leaning towards that idea of spirituality because I 1113 00:54:06,653 --> 00:54:08,493 Speaker 3: can see that loss of community, and I think for 1114 00:54:08,573 --> 00:54:10,933 Speaker 3: most people, because you're talking about fanatics, right, but for 1115 00:54:11,013 --> 00:54:13,933 Speaker 3: most people. When you look at what religion is to them, 1116 00:54:13,933 --> 00:54:16,973 Speaker 3: it is that sense of community and that sense of selflessness, 1117 00:54:17,213 --> 00:54:19,693 Speaker 3: selflessness that it is not just about them. There is 1118 00:54:19,773 --> 00:54:23,053 Speaker 3: more to this universe, whatever they believe in, that is 1119 00:54:23,213 --> 00:54:26,093 Speaker 3: far bigger than they are, which makes them care about 1120 00:54:26,093 --> 00:54:27,292 Speaker 3: other humans a little bit more. 1121 00:54:28,533 --> 00:54:31,133 Speaker 14: And you're not a threat to humanity because you've got 1122 00:54:31,133 --> 00:54:34,493 Speaker 14: a genital philosophy on that and so it's mad and 1123 00:54:34,533 --> 00:54:37,573 Speaker 14: so have I. We are not the threat. It's the 1124 00:54:37,613 --> 00:54:42,093 Speaker 14: fanatics who have error they are the threat. The ones 1125 00:54:42,133 --> 00:54:46,293 Speaker 14: who might be AI and might be nuclear, they are 1126 00:54:46,293 --> 00:54:49,172 Speaker 14: the ones that are the real threat to hear. It's 1127 00:54:49,173 --> 00:54:51,053 Speaker 14: not the average Joe blow he's just trying to get 1128 00:54:51,093 --> 00:54:55,413 Speaker 14: through life, you know, and has a threat. Like Buddhism, 1129 00:54:55,813 --> 00:54:59,453 Speaker 14: it's no threat. Hinduism is no threat because it's that's 1130 00:54:59,453 --> 00:55:03,613 Speaker 14: sort of gentle religions. But it's the monotheistic religions that 1131 00:55:03,693 --> 00:55:04,573 Speaker 14: they're more violent. 1132 00:55:05,453 --> 00:55:10,333 Speaker 2: And yet people that follow Hinduism and Buddhism have invaded 1133 00:55:10,333 --> 00:55:11,573 Speaker 2: countries and. 1134 00:55:12,933 --> 00:55:13,933 Speaker 3: I've got their enemies. 1135 00:55:14,613 --> 00:55:18,293 Speaker 2: Often often the problem is people who aren't actually following 1136 00:55:18,773 --> 00:55:21,692 Speaker 2: the faith that they say they are, you know, they're cheery, 1137 00:55:21,733 --> 00:55:24,573 Speaker 2: pecking parts of it to do what they want to do.

Billionaires. Is this texture of 1172 00:57:11,773 --> 00:57:14,692 Speaker 2: the biggest threat to humanity? Well, one billionaire is trying 1173 00:57:14,693 --> 00:57:18,653 Speaker 2: to set up set up a colony on another planet. Yeah, 1174 00:57:18,693 --> 00:57:22,253 Speaker 2: he's trying to save the sanity. That billionaire might save 1175 00:57:22,333 --> 00:57:27,853 Speaker 2: the existential crisis crisises, save us from existential crisises. So 1176 00:57:27,893 --> 00:57:29,613 Speaker 2: we'd seen it. So I'm trying to say they're communism 1177 00:57:29,773 --> 00:57:32,933 Speaker 2: is the greatest threat. Well, yeah, you've got to say communism. 1178 00:57:33,373 --> 00:57:36,573 Speaker 2: So what do they think. It's between seventy five and 1179 00:57:36,573 --> 00:57:41,493 Speaker 2: one hundred million people were killed by communism in the 1180 00:57:41,533 --> 00:57:45,933 Speaker 2: twentieth century. Yep, you know Mao, Stalin, pole Pot and 1181 00:57:45,973 --> 00:57:52,333 Speaker 2: the like. Yeah, through you know, man made famines, the Goolags, executions, 1182 00:57:52,333 --> 00:57:54,373 Speaker 2: so many executions under communism. 1183 00:57:54,493 --> 00:57:57,533 Speaker 3: Yep, what Stalin did to the people of Ukraine, I 1184 00:57:57,533 --> 00:58:01,693 Speaker 3: mean cheapers. So communism yeah, yeah, hasn't really worked out 1185 00:58:01,693 --> 00:58:02,413 Speaker 3: well in the past. 1186 00:58:02,653 --> 00:58:05,413 Speaker 2: Yeah. So someone says billionaires, someone says communism, We may 1187 00:58:05,453 --> 00:58:08,573 Speaker 2: not find we might not find the answer to what's 1188 00:58:08,573 --> 00:58:12,373 Speaker 2: the biggest existential crisis threat to humanity? That's our James, 1189 00:58:12,453 --> 00:58:13,093 Speaker 2: Welcome to the show. 1190 00:58:13,973 --> 00:58:16,813 Speaker 17: Hey mate, you nearly get it right, Billiamaire's got a 1191 00:58:16,813 --> 00:58:22,773 Speaker 17: big part, But it's totalitarium is the most biggest danger. 1192 00:58:22,813 --> 00:58:26,453 Speaker 17: And you know, the best radio hosts that you've ever 1193 00:58:26,493 --> 00:58:29,453 Speaker 17: had on there, the Laden Smith used to talk about 1194 00:58:29,493 --> 00:58:32,693 Speaker 17: it regularly with Ian Wishard. 1195 00:58:32,253 --> 00:58:34,013 Speaker 2: And all the best pipes. 1196 00:58:35,173 --> 00:58:40,973 Speaker 17: Yeah, government, government overreach, you know, And and the danger is, 1197 00:58:41,093 --> 00:58:44,253 Speaker 17: of course, you know, the digital ideas coming. We're going 1198 00:58:44,253 --> 00:58:46,853 Speaker 17: to try and get rid of cash and then we'll 1199 00:58:46,973 --> 00:58:51,213 Speaker 17: lead to the social credits China sort of system. And 1200 00:58:51,253 --> 00:58:56,373 Speaker 17: it's basically government knows a reach, which is like communism. 1201 00:58:56,853 --> 00:59:01,173 Speaker 17: That's on one of your adverts. Just beforehand, I heard 1202 00:59:01,173 --> 00:59:05,213 Speaker 17: that they had an announcement that they're trying to get 1203 00:59:05,333 --> 00:59:08,093 Speaker 17: some children to be signed up for key. We say 1204 00:59:08,133 --> 00:59:11,293 Speaker 17: the right from birth, and it's like that's government over 1205 00:59:11,333 --> 00:59:16,093 Speaker 17: reach because here we say there's not a guarantee fund. 1206 00:59:16,213 --> 00:59:18,733 Speaker 17: It's got no government guarantees. So you're paying money in 1207 00:59:18,813 --> 00:59:22,413 Speaker 17: from birth and there's no guarantee that you're going to 1208 00:59:22,413 --> 00:59:22,973 Speaker 17: get the money. 1209 00:59:23,173 --> 00:59:26,093 Speaker 2: So, James, with this kind of situation, do you think 1210 00:59:26,133 --> 00:59:30,453 Speaker 2: that's an existential threat to humanity existing? Or would humans 1211 00:59:30,653 --> 00:59:35,733 Speaker 2: beings just operate in a Pink Floyd video style drone 1212 00:59:35,853 --> 00:59:36,293 Speaker 2: like state. 1213 00:59:37,413 --> 00:59:40,813 Speaker 17: Well, yes, that last one is the thing good. You've 1214 00:59:40,813 --> 00:59:45,053 Speaker 17: got to refer to George Orwalls nineteen eighty four where 1215 00:59:45,053 --> 00:59:47,653 Speaker 17: they keep saying there's too many people and all this 1216 00:59:47,853 --> 00:59:52,893 Speaker 17: and AI is going to make us all irrelevant, you know, 1217 00:59:52,973 --> 00:59:57,653 Speaker 17: and our freedoms are gradually going. You know, the seventies 1218 00:59:57,693 --> 01:00:01,133 Speaker 17: and the eighties were wonderful times to grow up. The 1219 01:00:01,253 --> 01:00:05,133 Speaker 17: lack of freedom and the government control. I tell people, 1220 01:00:05,213 --> 01:00:08,493 Speaker 17: you know about the tax in New Zealand. Every governm 1221 01:00:08,653 --> 01:00:11,893 Speaker 17: that we've ever had is only thought about more ways 1222 01:00:11,973 --> 01:00:15,053 Speaker 17: to taxes. And yet they're still thinking of more taxes. 1223 01:00:16,093 --> 01:00:19,173 Speaker 2: James, you think with that, do you worry at all 1224 01:00:19,213 --> 01:00:23,053 Speaker 2: about the things that are bigger than humanity? The super volcanoes, 1225 01:00:23,373 --> 01:00:26,973 Speaker 2: the the comets, the asteroids. That doesn't, that doesn't, that 1226 01:00:27,093 --> 01:00:29,373 Speaker 2: doesn't take up your worry. You're worrying time. 1227 01:00:31,053 --> 01:00:35,413 Speaker 17: I'm a Christian believing God, and it's the you know, 1228 01:00:35,573 --> 01:00:39,973 Speaker 17: the billionaires that are out there, they're the ones telling 1229 01:00:40,093 --> 01:00:43,093 Speaker 17: us when they're flying around in their billion dollar jets, 1230 01:00:43,733 --> 01:00:46,413 Speaker 17: we've got to give out our nice coffees when they're 1231 01:00:47,333 --> 01:00:50,853 Speaker 17: roman around the world using all these resources, saying, you 1232 01:00:50,893 --> 01:00:54,973 Speaker 17: know that that the climates are issues, and they keep 1233 01:00:55,133 --> 01:00:58,733 Speaker 17: changing the agenda. You know, at first it was global warming. 1234 01:00:58,973 --> 01:01:03,053 Speaker 17: Now that the Earth is actually cooling, so they're calling 1235 01:01:03,093 --> 01:01:08,973 Speaker 17: it climate change, which no one will deny that there's 1236 01:01:09,053 --> 01:01:13,173 Speaker 17: always been climate changing, but man made climate changes. 1237 01:01:13,213 --> 01:01:15,773 Speaker 2: This b es well. I agree with you. 1238 01:01:15,853 --> 01:01:18,653 Speaker 3: Anyone flying around on a private jet who says you're 1239 01:01:18,693 --> 01:01:21,133 Speaker 3: no longer allowed to use plastic straws. I get the 1240 01:01:21,213 --> 01:01:24,053 Speaker 3: hypocrisy there is that you don't get to say that. 1241 01:01:24,693 --> 01:01:27,173 Speaker 2: Even I'd take that down to flying business class. Yeah, 1242 01:01:27,213 --> 01:01:29,933 Speaker 2: I mean I've got from a flying business class. I mean, 1243 01:01:30,053 --> 01:01:32,413 Speaker 2: I'm a big fan. But you can't. You can't then 1244 01:01:32,493 --> 01:01:35,693 Speaker 2: lecture other people if you're flying business class, you just can't. Yeah, 1245 01:01:36,453 --> 01:01:38,253 Speaker 2: And as soon as you're getting on a private jet 1246 01:01:38,293 --> 01:01:41,453 Speaker 2: then that's out out the windows. Shut up, Harry, shut up, Megan. 1247 01:01:42,933 --> 01:01:46,213 Speaker 3: That specific. Yeah, one more point, James. 1248 01:01:46,653 --> 01:01:50,293 Speaker 17: Yeah, like you elites having too much control. And a 1249 01:01:50,333 --> 01:01:53,133 Speaker 17: good example of that is Larry Think of Black Crops. 1250 01:01:53,933 --> 01:01:57,213 Speaker 17: You might remember that when Jasinda went to Harvard to talk, 1251 01:01:57,533 --> 01:01:59,773 Speaker 17: she also called into Black Rocks to meet with a 1252 01:01:59,853 --> 01:02:03,733 Speaker 17: Larry Think of Black Rocks.

Yep, let's just say 1465 01:13:03,492 --> 01:13:05,732 Speaker 2: a billion atomic bombs. Luckily, a lot of energy, a 1466 01:13:05,732 --> 01:13:08,253 Speaker 2: lot of energy. And then then you get those massive 1467 01:13:08,732 --> 01:13:12,053 Speaker 2: electro men that waves torrents of them traveling towards the 1468 01:13:12,053 --> 01:13:15,772 Speaker 2: Earth at speed of light. Yeah, and they can potentially 1469 01:13:15,772 --> 01:13:17,412 Speaker 2: disrupt shortwave radio transmissions. 1470 01:13:17,492 --> 01:13:17,572 Speaker 9: Ye. 1471 01:13:17,772 --> 01:13:20,412 Speaker 3: Can they take out settleites?

I 1538 01:16:14,612 --> 01:16:17,333 Speaker 3: hope you're having a good Thursday, seven past three. This 1539 01:16:17,372 --> 01:16:18,892 Speaker 3: is going to be a great chat. We want to 1540 01:16:18,933 --> 01:16:22,773 Speaker 3: talk about sharks. This is after a story marine biologist. 1541 01:16:22,853 --> 01:16:26,492 Speaker 3: His name is Mercurio Hoyos. He was conducting a tagging 1542 01:16:26,532 --> 01:16:30,532 Speaker 3: expedition off Costa Rica when a female Galapagos shark turned 1543 01:16:30,812 --> 01:16:32,452 Speaker 3: and bit him right in the head and face as 1544 01:16:32,492 --> 01:16:34,852 Speaker 3: he tagged its dorsal fin. It's a gnarly scar if 1545 01:16:34,893 --> 01:16:37,692 Speaker 3: you see the picture. But amazingly he did survive. Clearly 1546 01:16:38,133 --> 01:16:41,173 Speaker 3: the hoses on his scuba gear were severed. He heard 1547 01:16:41,213 --> 01:16:44,052 Speaker 3: his skull crush, but he now says the shark spared 1548 01:16:44,093 --> 01:16:46,492 Speaker 3: his life and he'd love to meet this dear shark again. 1549 01:16:46,732 --> 01:16:49,452 Speaker 2: That's interesting. First of all, how would you know it 1550 01:16:49,492 --> 01:16:52,892 Speaker 2: was the same shark? But secondly he thinks that the 1551 01:16:52,933 --> 01:16:56,933 Speaker 2: shark made a decision not to eat him. I don't know. 1552 01:16:57,133 --> 01:17:00,012 Speaker 2: I don't know if sharks have that kind of higher thinking. 1553 01:17:00,053 --> 01:17:01,652 Speaker 2: They've been around for a very long time, but i'd 1554 01:17:01,652 --> 01:17:04,572 Speaker 2: describe them more as just killing machines. I think it's 1555 01:17:04,572 --> 01:17:07,892 Speaker 2: more likely he bit bit his head and went, well, 1556 01:17:07,933 --> 01:17:11,172 Speaker 2: this isn't very tasty, because you know, sharks don't normally 1557 01:17:11,853 --> 01:17:14,652 Speaker 2: they're not evolved to eat monkeys, and so when they 1558 01:17:14,652 --> 01:17:17,852 Speaker 2: come across humans, I think it's never a good feed 1559 01:17:17,893 --> 01:17:21,092 Speaker 2: for them. Yeah, you know, it's not like a nice 1560 01:17:21,893 --> 01:17:24,852 Speaker 2: a nice fish, a nice big fish, even a seal. 1561 01:17:24,933 --> 01:17:26,892 Speaker 2: A seal a lot of blubber and seal. We're kind 1562 01:17:26,893 --> 01:17:30,333 Speaker 2: of even fat, and as we're terribly obese, we're not 1563 01:17:30,412 --> 01:17:33,892 Speaker 2: much of a feed for a for a shark, are 1564 01:17:33,893 --> 01:17:34,372 Speaker 2: we No. 1565 01:17:34,412 --> 01:17:36,333 Speaker 3: And it's a good point because he's scuba diving, so 1566 01:17:36,532 --> 01:17:39,372 Speaker 3: arguably he's gone a wetsuit on and he probably looks 1567 01:17:39,412 --> 01:17:40,532 Speaker 3: like a nice tasty seal. 1568 01:17:41,013 --> 01:17:43,572 Speaker 2: Bite into it and go, oh, there's bony monkey. Yeah, 1569 01:17:43,612 --> 01:17:44,372 Speaker 2: what is this stuff? 1570 01:17:44,492 --> 01:17:44,652 Speaker 17: Yeah? 1571 01:17:44,692 --> 01:17:45,412 Speaker 3: Where's the fat? 1572 01:17:45,732 --> 01:17:49,732 Speaker 2: But I love that he was sort of a glass 1573 01:17:49,732 --> 01:17:53,253 Speaker 2: halfful sort of positive spiritual person that said, no, the 1574 01:17:53,333 --> 01:17:54,333 Speaker 2: shark spared me. 1575 01:17:55,053 --> 01:17:57,772 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, they can be misunderstood creatures. I know for 1576 01:17:57,812 --> 01:18:00,173 Speaker 3: some people. I've got to say I have never had 1577 01:18:00,213 --> 01:18:02,492 Speaker 3: a major shark encounter, and I've done a bit of 1578 01:18:02,492 --> 01:18:05,372 Speaker 3: spear diving, but a free diving for power. But I 1579 01:18:05,372 --> 01:18:08,012 Speaker 3: I've always had that fear that they're out there and 1580 01:18:08,333 --> 01:18:10,253 Speaker 3: always kind of like have the eyes at the back 1581 01:18:10,253 --> 01:18:12,173 Speaker 3: of my head so to speak, when I'm diving, but 1582 01:18:12,253 --> 01:18:14,133 Speaker 3: never a dog fash is as far as I've gone. 1583 01:18:14,173 --> 01:18:16,372 Speaker 2: Did you see Jaws was out the fiftieth anniversary of 1584 01:18:16,412 --> 01:18:18,253 Speaker 2: Jaws was out earlier this year. You could watch in 1585 01:18:18,293 --> 01:18:21,372 Speaker 2: cinemas and I watched Jaws again, and what a fantastic 1586 01:18:21,452 --> 01:18:24,253 Speaker 2: movie that is. But before Jaws, and before the book 1587 01:18:24,253 --> 01:18:26,492 Speaker 2: that Jaws is based on, which is only released about 1588 01:18:26,732 --> 01:18:28,772 Speaker 2: less than a year, I think before the movie came out, 1589 01:18:29,812 --> 01:18:32,293 Speaker 2: people weren't as scared of sharks as they are now. 1590 01:18:32,372 --> 01:18:34,892 Speaker 2: Sharks have gone inside our hits, they have, and we're 1591 01:18:35,013 --> 01:18:38,532 Speaker 2: very worried about sharks. We're very focused on sharks now. 1592 01:18:39,492 --> 01:18:42,612 Speaker 2: But as I was saying before, very unlikely to be 1593 01:18:42,652 --> 01:18:47,013 Speaker 2: attacked by a shark, very very unlikely. The ISAF, the 1594 01:18:47,053 --> 01:18:51,213 Speaker 2: International Shark Attack File recorded seventy three shark attacks globally 1595 01:18:51,253 --> 01:18:52,812 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one. These are the last stats I 1596 01:18:52,893 --> 01:18:55,333 Speaker 2: have twenty twenty one. Yep, this is from my book, 1597 01:18:55,772 --> 01:18:58,412 Speaker 2: of which nine were fatal. On the other hand, the 1598 01:18:58,532 --> 01:19:00,892 Speaker 2: chance of a shark attack being attacked by a human 1599 01:19:00,933 --> 01:19:03,173 Speaker 2: are much higher. We kill over one hundred million of 1600 01:19:03,173 --> 01:19:06,132 Speaker 2: their kind of year, which is roughly eleven thousand sharks 1601 01:19:06,133 --> 01:19:13,093 Speaker 2: per hour, or three per second, three sacks nine. 1602 01:19:13,093 --> 01:19:14,613 Speaker 3: Or stop it stop counting. 1603 01:19:14,333 --> 01:19:17,412 Speaker 2: Already that three seconds, we've killed more sharks than they 1604 01:19:17,492 --> 01:19:18,732 Speaker 2: killed us in twenty twenty one. 1605 01:19:18,853 --> 01:19:20,052 Speaker 3: They are massively at gunns. 1606 01:19:20,253 --> 01:19:23,853 Speaker 2: So in the shark versus man battles of the species, 1607 01:19:24,173 --> 01:19:28,093 Speaker 2: we are kacking their asses absolutely, and sometimes, as I 1608 01:19:28,173 --> 01:19:30,892 Speaker 2: say before, we will just nip their fin off for 1609 01:19:30,933 --> 01:19:32,492 Speaker 2: a shark from soup and let the rest of the 1610 01:19:32,492 --> 01:19:34,333 Speaker 2: shark just float to the bottom of the ocean. 1611 01:19:34,053 --> 01:19:36,012 Speaker 3: A bug on man in some places in the world. 1612 01:19:35,893 --> 01:19:38,293 Speaker 2: Which isn't very very good. But I think a lot 1613 01:19:38,333 --> 01:19:40,293 Speaker 2: of us in New Zealanders, a lot of us in 1614 01:19:40,293 --> 01:19:44,213 Speaker 2: New Zealand, we are maritime people. We love the ocean. 1615 01:19:44,213 --> 01:19:46,692 Speaker 2: We're out fishing all the time, We're out pesting the 1616 01:19:46,732 --> 01:19:49,812 Speaker 2: coasts of our beautiful land. So a lot of us 1617 01:19:49,933 --> 01:19:54,772 Speaker 2: have experienced sharks. And you know, a couple of years ago, 1618 01:19:55,253 --> 01:19:58,372 Speaker 2: my son and I and my buddy Mike and his 1619 01:19:58,452 --> 01:20:04,093 Speaker 2: son Miller, we're out fishing up on Fung Bay, beautiful 1620 01:20:04,213 --> 01:20:07,892 Speaker 2: and a bloody marco came up, but the snapper off 1621 01:20:07,933 --> 01:20:09,612 Speaker 2: my son Lyon as he was pulling it in. 1622 01:20:09,893 --> 01:20:11,652 Speaker 3: That is that's that's scary. 1623 01:20:11,853 --> 01:20:14,093 Speaker 2: It was cool, Yeah, a lot it was. It was 1624 01:20:14,173 --> 01:20:17,212 Speaker 2: cinematic how it sort of sort of breached the surface 1625 01:20:17,253 --> 01:20:18,452 Speaker 2: and came up and then just. 1626 01:20:18,652 --> 01:20:21,532 Speaker 3: Actually got out of the water to cake a fish. 1627 01:20:21,612 --> 01:20:25,132 Speaker 2: Can a Marco? Would a Marco eat a human? Because 1628 01:20:25,253 --> 01:20:27,452 Speaker 2: because because Then then the next day we were snorkeling 1629 01:20:27,492 --> 01:20:31,133 Speaker 2: and my son said to me, hey, your dad, Hey dad, 1630 01:20:31,213 --> 01:20:34,133 Speaker 2: is that that Marco that ate my snapper? He came back, 1631 01:20:34,812 --> 01:20:38,012 Speaker 2: is that in the water with us now? And I said, well, technically, son, 1632 01:20:38,133 --> 01:20:40,732 Speaker 2: all sharks are in the water with us right now, 1633 01:20:40,812 --> 01:20:43,732 Speaker 2: because you know, it's one big amount of water and 1634 01:20:43,732 --> 01:20:46,293 Speaker 2: we're in here, so every single shark in the world, 1635 01:20:46,772 --> 01:20:48,972 Speaker 2: in the world is kind of in the same water 1636 01:20:49,013 --> 01:20:49,572 Speaker 2: with us now. 1637 01:20:49,692 --> 01:20:49,852 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1638 01:20:49,933 --> 01:20:51,852 Speaker 2: Yeah, And he's their kingdom.

Yeah, yeah absolutely. 1668 01:22:00,213 --> 01:22:01,973 Speaker 3: Craig, how are you mate? 1669 01:22:02,253 --> 01:22:05,293 Speaker 7: Yeah? Good mate. Hey, look, I don't want to bore 1670 01:22:05,333 --> 01:22:06,973 Speaker 7: you too much here, but I'm sure there are other 1671 01:22:07,013 --> 01:22:10,812 Speaker 7: people haven't seen stories. I've been an ocean dweller since 1672 01:22:10,812 --> 01:22:13,692 Speaker 7: I was seven years old, you know, so like start 1673 01:22:13,772 --> 01:22:17,012 Speaker 7: off and surfing, and then went into kayaks, fishing and things. 1674 01:22:17,612 --> 01:22:20,173 Speaker 7: So I've been pretty use having sharks around me all 1675 01:22:20,173 --> 01:22:23,973 Speaker 7: my life. They just they just here. They're part of 1676 01:22:23,973 --> 01:22:28,293 Speaker 7: the environment, and it's very rare that they kind of 1677 01:22:28,293 --> 01:22:33,253 Speaker 7: get aggressive, to be honest. So I started off surfing 1678 01:22:33,293 --> 01:22:35,612 Speaker 7: down regularly seven years old and went over to Indo 1679 01:22:35,772 --> 01:22:38,652 Speaker 7: and Thailand and surfed over there, and you got used 1680 01:22:38,652 --> 01:22:42,852 Speaker 7: to seeing tiger sharks in the water over there. Everybody did, 1681 01:22:42,973 --> 01:22:45,852 Speaker 7: and it was kind of everyone understood that they don't 1682 01:22:45,853 --> 01:22:49,333 Speaker 7: have a go at you. They're just mooching around the 1683 01:22:49,372 --> 01:22:50,932 Speaker 7: same roofs looking for further. 1684 01:22:52,732 --> 01:22:54,452 Speaker 2: So if you see it, if you see it, you 1685 01:22:54,492 --> 01:22:57,612 Speaker 2: see a shark, you see a shak, then you you've 1686 01:22:57,853 --> 01:22:59,092 Speaker 2: experienced no fear. 1687 01:22:58,933 --> 01:23:02,492 Speaker 7: Craig, No, not at all. I mean, you notice it, 1688 01:23:02,692 --> 01:23:05,452 Speaker 7: you take it, you pay attention because you want to 1689 01:23:05,452 --> 01:23:08,333 Speaker 7: make sure it's it's not something big, a little mongly. 1690 01:23:09,253 --> 01:23:12,333 Speaker 7: But but that's pretty normal seeing them amongst the ways 1691 01:23:12,333 --> 01:23:15,132 Speaker 7: when you're surfing, when you're surfing in countries like that. 1692 01:23:15,173 --> 01:23:18,253 Speaker 3: So there's nothing, there's nothing, no sort of tips that 1693 01:23:18,293 --> 01:23:20,293 Speaker 3: you'd have in the back of your mind if one 1694 01:23:20,333 --> 01:23:20,973 Speaker 3: did come at you. 1695 01:23:22,853 --> 01:23:26,013 Speaker 7: Oh, absolutely, yeah, Like you don't want to look like 1696 01:23:26,013 --> 01:23:30,532 Speaker 7: a victim. So if you see a shark that coming, 1697 01:23:30,853 --> 01:23:33,012 Speaker 7: maybe raking yourself up to the bottom from the bottom 1698 01:23:33,013 --> 01:23:35,692 Speaker 7: of a little bit and coming up, then he's maybe 1699 01:23:35,732 --> 01:23:39,852 Speaker 7: a little bit more aggressive. So you just pulled your 1700 01:23:39,933 --> 01:23:42,612 Speaker 7: legs in close to the board, stop flapping your arms about, 1701 01:23:43,732 --> 01:23:46,372 Speaker 7: and eyebore them. If you need to even stick your 1702 01:23:46,372 --> 01:23:48,732 Speaker 7: hand with the water and actually in the face to face. 1703 01:23:49,053 --> 01:23:51,372 Speaker 7: Really yeah, he'll back off. 1704 01:23:51,853 --> 01:23:54,972 Speaker 2: They will get in face. Do you think they back 1705 01:23:55,013 --> 01:23:57,213 Speaker 2: off because you've intimidated them or they back off because 1706 01:23:57,213 --> 01:23:59,852 Speaker 2: they go this is a weird creature. This isn't this 1707 01:23:59,893 --> 01:24:01,772 Speaker 2: is an online menu. I don't need that thing. 1708 01:24:02,732 --> 01:24:05,412 Speaker 7: I actually think like in those countries I'm talking about, 1709 01:24:05,412 --> 01:24:08,253 Speaker 7: they see serpents all the time, so there's nothing new 1710 01:24:08,412 --> 01:24:12,133 Speaker 7: about us. It just might be one that's a little 1711 01:24:12,173 --> 01:24:15,412 Speaker 7: bit bigger, bit more aggressive. It's not about intimidating them 1712 01:24:15,452 --> 01:24:17,572 Speaker 7: so much as making them aware that you're aware of them. 1713 01:24:18,053 --> 01:24:20,892 Speaker 2: Right, yeah, I see what's saying. Yeah, So so you 1714 01:24:20,933 --> 01:24:23,093 Speaker 2: know they're revolved to see eyes looking at them. They 1715 01:24:23,093 --> 01:24:26,532 Speaker 2: want they want to attack, you know, more stealthily. They 1716 01:24:26,532 --> 01:24:28,613 Speaker 2: don't want to they don't want to tax something that's 1717 01:24:28,612 --> 01:24:31,013 Speaker 2: staring at it and maybe injure them. 1718 01:24:31,532 --> 01:24:34,572 Speaker 7: Yeah, pretty much. And you know, as I like, as 1719 01:24:34,572 --> 01:24:36,492 Speaker 7: I said, I did that for many years and I 1720 01:24:36,572 --> 01:24:38,652 Speaker 7: never saw anyone get attack by a shark. And all 1721 01:24:38,692 --> 01:24:43,532 Speaker 7: those year surfing, and then I've gone on to fishing 1722 01:24:43,532 --> 01:24:47,692 Speaker 7: from kayaks around New Zealands and going after big fish, 1723 01:24:47,772 --> 01:24:52,093 Speaker 7: going after you gettings and things on a kayak, you know, 1724 01:24:52,333 --> 01:24:56,372 Speaker 7: maybe five kilometers out the sea, you know, and you 1725 01:24:56,492 --> 01:24:58,213 Speaker 7: get some big boys want to come and have a 1726 01:24:58,213 --> 01:25:01,772 Speaker 7: look at you there. And that's a little different. 1727 01:25:03,772 --> 01:25:06,372 Speaker 2: I mean, it's a mental game, is what what kind 1728 01:25:06,412 --> 01:25:08,333 Speaker 2: of sharks are those that you're seeing five kl leaders out? 1729 01:25:10,093 --> 01:25:13,612 Speaker 7: Mostly Marco's Oh yeah, you know, yeah. 1730 01:25:13,692 --> 01:25:16,173 Speaker 2: Stats on Marco's there, Tiler. So I was saying, can 1731 01:25:16,213 --> 01:25:19,213 Speaker 2: a Marco take you down? And it's very rare, isn't it. Yeah. 1732 01:25:19,293 --> 01:25:23,413 Speaker 3: So Marco sharks have been responsible for fifty attacks on humans. 1733 01:25:23,492 --> 01:25:26,812 Speaker 3: This is you know, since records began, with two resulting 1734 01:25:26,893 --> 01:25:27,733 Speaker 3: in fatalities. 1735 01:25:29,452 --> 01:25:32,213 Speaker 7: Yeah, and I see the same thing like that. They 1736 01:25:32,293 --> 01:25:34,772 Speaker 7: kind of act like to act quite aggressive, like they'll 1737 01:25:34,853 --> 01:25:38,772 Speaker 7: jump out of the water, they'll throw themselves down just 1738 01:25:38,812 --> 01:25:42,692 Speaker 7: to let you know they're there really, and that's that's okay. 1739 01:25:42,853 --> 01:25:47,093 Speaker 7: So but I mean, I honestly think most of the 1740 01:25:47,133 --> 01:25:50,412 Speaker 7: sharks we have in the water around New Zealand are 1741 01:25:50,492 --> 01:25:54,173 Speaker 7: really just checking us out. So take the time, don't 1742 01:25:54,492 --> 01:25:57,572 Speaker 7: don't do things to aggravate them. Like I've seen guys 1743 01:25:57,572 --> 01:26:01,532 Speaker 7: go out seriously kayak fishing and they're catching fashion throwing 1744 01:26:01,572 --> 01:26:03,972 Speaker 7: into the back of the kayaks and they're bleeding into 1745 01:26:03,973 --> 01:26:08,652 Speaker 7: the water and it's like, what are you doing? Yeeriously, 1746 01:26:08,973 --> 01:26:11,293 Speaker 7: if you want at tension, you've got it, do. 1747 01:26:11,853 --> 01:26:17,052 Speaker 2: You think, Because yeah, it's interesting. Because and this guy 1748 01:26:17,133 --> 01:26:20,892 Speaker 2: that's been attacked by by the shark, he said that 1749 01:26:20,893 --> 01:26:23,812 Speaker 2: the sharks spared him. And I think the sharks probably 1750 01:26:23,853 --> 01:26:26,492 Speaker 2: don't don't have that kind of cognitive ability. But in 1751 01:26:26,532 --> 01:26:30,812 Speaker 2: your in your travels, what about sea mammals, you know, 1752 01:26:31,173 --> 01:26:33,093 Speaker 2: an orca. I feel like an orca could do some 1753 01:26:33,213 --> 01:26:35,732 Speaker 2: damage and it might actually decide to I think an 1754 01:26:35,812 --> 01:26:40,213 Speaker 2: orca is more likely to, you know, either spare you 1755 01:26:40,333 --> 01:26:41,333 Speaker 2: or decide to target you. 1756 01:26:42,652 --> 01:26:45,012 Speaker 7: I've had orcas came up around me, and I've also 1757 01:26:45,053 --> 01:26:49,372 Speaker 7: had sothern right wall's come up around me, and they're 1758 01:26:49,492 --> 01:26:52,732 Speaker 7: just beautiful animals really, and they're really intelligent, so they 1759 01:26:52,772 --> 01:26:54,052 Speaker 7: don't see us as food. 1760 01:26:54,893 --> 01:26:56,012 Speaker 2: They don't see us as a seal. 1761 01:26:57,652 --> 01:27:00,452 Speaker 7: Yeah, they don't see this as a seal. It depends, honestly, 1762 01:27:00,492 --> 01:27:02,412 Speaker 7: it probably depends on what you're looking like. If if 1763 01:27:02,452 --> 01:27:05,812 Speaker 7: you're swimming, that could be quite a different response to 1764 01:27:05,893 --> 01:27:09,772 Speaker 7: what I see in a kayak. Yeah, so you be honestly, 1765 01:27:10,133 --> 01:27:14,212 Speaker 7: there's probably quite a big difference here. But in the kayak, 1766 01:27:14,492 --> 01:27:19,333 Speaker 7: I've had some pretty interesting I've had the odd bronze 1767 01:27:19,333 --> 01:27:20,973 Speaker 7: whil I came up and have a bit of a 1768 01:27:21,013 --> 01:27:24,972 Speaker 7: push on the kayak nice you know, and I've given 1769 01:27:25,013 --> 01:27:26,412 Speaker 7: them a slap on the head with her. 1770 01:27:27,893 --> 01:27:29,812 Speaker 3: Was there to push them away, saying you're getting a 1771 01:27:29,812 --> 01:27:30,693 Speaker 3: little bit closer. 1772 01:27:30,452 --> 01:27:33,053 Speaker 7: Bit close, you're getting a bit close to mate, And 1773 01:27:33,133 --> 01:27:36,652 Speaker 7: they do respond to that. So it's like, okay, yeah, 1774 01:27:36,732 --> 01:27:38,732 Speaker 7: this this is not an easy meal. So I'll just 1775 01:27:38,893 --> 01:27:41,612 Speaker 7: go away. And they weren't looking for me anyway, they 1776 01:27:41,612 --> 01:27:42,932 Speaker 7: were just looking for my catch. 1777 01:27:43,333 --> 01:27:43,572 Speaker 9: Yeah. 1778 01:27:43,812 --> 01:27:47,572 Speaker 2: Yeah, so bronzewell, I mean, so they're quite big though, 1779 01:27:47,572 --> 01:27:50,572 Speaker 2: aren't they, Like they save around three meters. 1780 01:27:52,253 --> 01:27:54,532 Speaker 7: I had a bronze whale I once swim towards me 1781 01:27:55,053 --> 01:27:57,333 Speaker 7: with a fin that looked like it was twenty meters 1782 01:27:57,333 --> 01:28:01,892 Speaker 7: that in the air monsters in my terrified state there 1783 01:28:01,933 --> 01:28:02,612 Speaker 7: was out looks. 1784 01:28:02,812 --> 01:28:03,933 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was. 1785 01:28:03,973 --> 01:28:07,492 Speaker 7: It was probably about a meter of fit, you know.

Now, Riley, should 1973 01:37:16,692 --> 01:37:19,572 Speaker 2: sharks be more scared of humans or humans scared of sharks? 1974 01:37:21,213 --> 01:37:22,932 Speaker 22: I think if you went with simple maths and look 1975 01:37:22,973 --> 01:37:26,532 Speaker 22: at the statistics of who kills who the most, you know, 1976 01:37:26,652 --> 01:37:29,612 Speaker 22: humans kill one hundred million sharks a year and sharks, 1977 01:37:29,652 --> 01:37:32,293 Speaker 22: you know, tragically kill about six to ten people a year. 1978 01:37:32,412 --> 01:37:35,333 Speaker 22: So I think the sharks should definitely be more afraid 1979 01:37:35,412 --> 01:37:37,492 Speaker 22: of us, and in the commercial fishing fleets that do 1980 01:37:37,572 --> 01:37:38,573 Speaker 22: most of that damage. 1981 01:37:39,013 --> 01:37:41,333 Speaker 2: Do you why do you think we spend so much 1982 01:37:41,412 --> 01:37:44,892 Speaker 2: time fearful of sharks? Is Is it just because of 1983 01:37:44,893 --> 01:37:47,572 Speaker 2: that movie that came out in the seventies Jaws, because 1984 01:37:47,812 --> 01:37:51,652 Speaker 2: with the limited amount of attacks and the limited amount 1985 01:37:51,692 --> 01:37:54,652 Speaker 2: of deaths, even though there's some terrible tragic ones that 1986 01:37:54,652 --> 01:37:56,333 Speaker 2: absolutely happened, and of course there was that one in 1987 01:37:56,372 --> 01:37:59,732 Speaker 2: New Zealand and twenty two and why he But do 1988 01:38:00,053 --> 01:38:04,532 Speaker 2: you think it has been sensellate? It's sense likely, sensationalism. 1989 01:38:05,853 --> 01:38:07,213 Speaker 2: Sensationalized Is that a word? 1990 01:38:07,293 --> 01:38:15,293 Speaker 22: Sen It's look that the movie Jaws obviously had a 1991 01:38:15,333 --> 01:38:17,572 Speaker 22: huge part to play in it. But I think it's 1992 01:38:17,652 --> 01:38:20,652 Speaker 22: it's just the Boogieyman factor. And I did a corporate 1993 01:38:20,692 --> 01:38:23,492 Speaker 22: speaking event the other day about this, and it's it's 1994 01:38:23,572 --> 01:38:27,213 Speaker 22: very mirroring the Boogieyman factor to the Jaws factor, because 1995 01:38:27,772 --> 01:38:30,012 Speaker 22: we all know what the Boogeyman is, but you don't 1996 01:38:30,053 --> 01:38:31,812 Speaker 22: probably actually know what it is at all. 1997 01:38:32,053 --> 01:38:32,812 Speaker 14: I had to google it. 1998 01:38:32,812 --> 01:38:36,732 Speaker 22: It's like a sixth sixteenth century monster they created to 1999 01:38:36,772 --> 01:38:37,852 Speaker 22: make kids sleep, and they. 2000 01:38:37,772 --> 01:38:38,892 Speaker 11: Say that they didn't sleep. 2001 01:38:39,093 --> 01:38:39,972 Speaker 2: It would crawl out of. 2002 01:38:39,893 --> 01:38:41,932 Speaker 22: The under the bed and grab them, and it's just 2003 01:38:41,973 --> 01:38:44,812 Speaker 22: like a terrifying thing. And it's the fact that it's 2004 01:38:44,933 --> 01:38:48,932 Speaker 22: under somewhere where you can't see that is terrifying. And 2005 01:38:49,173 --> 01:38:51,372 Speaker 22: I think that's the same thing with a shark like, 2006 01:38:51,812 --> 01:38:54,932 Speaker 22: if we go walk into the savannahs well number one, 2007 01:38:54,933 --> 01:38:56,692 Speaker 22: you're expecting to see a line number two. If it 2008 01:38:56,772 --> 01:38:58,253 Speaker 22: nails you, you probably be. 2009 01:38:58,253 --> 01:38:59,812 Speaker 5: Like, well, I asked for it. 2010 01:39:00,133 --> 01:39:02,972 Speaker 22: Whereas we go float on the ocean and we see 2011 01:39:03,013 --> 01:39:06,053 Speaker 22: it as like a recreation area. Even though it's the 2012 01:39:06,173 --> 01:39:09,333 Speaker 22: absolute wild and there is this animal that lurks beneath you, 2013 01:39:09,412 --> 01:39:11,412 Speaker 22: you don't see it. So I think I think there's 2014 01:39:11,412 --> 01:39:15,772 Speaker 22: an element of just that boogie man factor. But also, 2015 01:39:15,812 --> 01:39:17,572 Speaker 22: to be honest, it's probably one of the worst ways 2016 01:39:17,612 --> 01:39:20,612 Speaker 22: you could go is being you know, taken by yes, 2017 01:39:21,013 --> 01:39:21,612 Speaker 22: a monster. 2018 01:39:21,732 --> 01:39:21,933 Speaker 5: You know. 2019 01:39:22,053 --> 01:39:27,293 Speaker 22: So it's obviously not statistically justified the amount we fear them, 2020 01:39:27,692 --> 01:39:30,412 Speaker 22: because like everything you stee around you kills more people 2021 01:39:30,412 --> 01:39:35,532 Speaker 22: than sharks, like pencils or bees or whatever. But at 2022 01:39:35,532 --> 01:39:37,732 Speaker 22: the end of the day, we're terrified of them. And 2023 01:39:37,973 --> 01:39:40,692 Speaker 22: you know, it's changed a lot through people getting exposed 2024 01:39:40,732 --> 01:39:43,572 Speaker 22: information sharks themselves and learning more about them. 2025 01:39:44,173 --> 01:39:46,612 Speaker 2: I was really skeared of sharks, and you know, even 2026 01:39:46,612 --> 01:39:48,213 Speaker 2: to the point where I sometimes think about them. When 2027 01:39:48,213 --> 01:39:50,492 Speaker 2: I was swimming in a pool in Central Aukland, but 2028 01:39:51,853 --> 01:39:55,572 Speaker 2: I went swimming with some sharks and a weird thing 2029 01:39:55,612 --> 01:39:57,732 Speaker 2: happens and tell me if this has happened to you. 2030 01:39:57,772 --> 01:39:59,572 Speaker 2: I mean, you've got you You've had so much experience 2031 01:39:59,572 --> 01:40:02,052 Speaker 2: with sharks, but there comes a point where they stop 2032 01:40:02,093 --> 01:40:05,293 Speaker 2: being monsters and they sort of just become big fish 2033 01:40:05,333 --> 01:40:06,532 Speaker 2: when you're looking at them. 2034 01:40:07,532 --> 01:40:09,572 Speaker 22: Oh a kind of I mean on my license plate, 2035 01:40:09,612 --> 01:40:13,412 Speaker 22: it's like Sharkman, but below fear to fascination. It literally 2036 01:40:13,532 --> 01:40:15,492 Speaker 22: happens like that I click of the finger and I 2037 01:40:15,532 --> 01:40:17,293 Speaker 22: used to do a lot of shark eer tourism. It's 2038 01:40:17,333 --> 01:40:21,812 Speaker 22: how I transition to so to speak. And as soon 2039 01:40:21,812 --> 01:40:23,412 Speaker 22: as you get eyes on them and you're in their 2040 01:40:23,412 --> 01:40:26,533 Speaker 22: domain with a mask on, you know, in good clarity 2041 01:40:26,572 --> 01:40:28,732 Speaker 22: water that the fear isn't there, and you realize they 2042 01:40:28,732 --> 01:40:29,692 Speaker 22: don't actually care. 2043 01:40:29,572 --> 01:40:30,213 Speaker 14: About you at all. 2044 01:40:30,772 --> 01:40:31,772 Speaker 21: They're being on with their. 2045 01:40:31,772 --> 01:40:33,892 Speaker 22: Day and you actually just start enjoying it. And like 2046 01:40:33,973 --> 01:40:36,132 Speaker 22: you say, they just become these big, beautiful fish. 2047 01:40:35,933 --> 01:40:36,612 Speaker 5: And you want more. 2048 01:40:37,173 --> 01:40:39,573 Speaker 22: And I mean that's really what drove me on my trajectory. 2049 01:40:39,572 --> 01:40:42,052 Speaker 22: There's there's a much different feeling though, when you're floating 2050 01:40:42,053 --> 01:40:44,452 Speaker 22: on a surfboard and bad visibility at dusk, you're dawn, 2051 01:40:44,532 --> 01:40:47,293 Speaker 22: which is what we all do as surfers, and to 2052 01:40:47,412 --> 01:40:50,652 Speaker 22: be you know, brutally honest. I'm I'm definitely afraid of 2053 01:40:50,652 --> 01:40:53,532 Speaker 22: sharks when I surf, like you should be because you're 2054 01:40:53,572 --> 01:40:56,532 Speaker 22: not playing by the rules. It's like, like I said before, 2055 01:40:56,532 --> 01:41:03,253 Speaker 22: it's like playing tennis and the savannahs, but you're blindfolded. Now, Yeah, 2056 01:41:03,253 --> 01:41:05,412 Speaker 22: well it's it's just but it's the risks you're willing 2057 01:41:05,452 --> 01:41:07,852 Speaker 22: to take to do what you do. You know, mountaineers, skiers, 2058 01:41:07,893 --> 01:41:10,692 Speaker 22: they take on avalanches. It's terrifying to me, but you know, 2059 01:41:10,772 --> 01:41:13,133 Speaker 22: they do their research, they figure out what the season is, 2060 01:41:13,173 --> 01:41:16,692 Speaker 22: where to go, they've got mitigating measures, and we do 2061 01:41:16,692 --> 01:41:17,652 Speaker 22: do that a surface too. 2062 01:41:17,772 --> 01:41:19,253 Speaker 5: So at the end of the day, I. 2063 01:41:19,253 --> 01:41:21,772 Speaker 22: Think if you go play in a wild animal's environment, 2064 01:41:21,893 --> 01:41:24,213 Speaker 22: you know you generally got to take on some risk 2065 01:41:24,333 --> 01:41:24,572 Speaker 22: with it. 2066 01:41:24,772 --> 01:41:26,412 Speaker 2: Yeah, how smart aren't sharks? 2067 01:41:26,412 --> 01:41:28,652 Speaker 3: Are they a steep above regular fish and maybe a 2068 01:41:28,692 --> 01:41:30,372 Speaker 3: step below auca and dolphin? 2069 01:41:31,893 --> 01:41:35,293 Speaker 22: Ah, Like, I'm almost insulted with how I've done that 2070 01:41:35,412 --> 01:41:38,652 Speaker 22: because it's let me put it this way, they're the 2071 01:41:38,812 --> 01:41:42,372 Speaker 22: longest existing animal on Earth, so they've been around before trees, 2072 01:41:42,532 --> 01:41:45,652 Speaker 22: before any other animal, so they have four hundred million 2073 01:41:45,732 --> 01:41:49,093 Speaker 22: years of instinct built into them. They're born you know, 2074 01:41:49,372 --> 01:41:51,412 Speaker 22: most of them like a great white's born at one 2075 01:41:51,412 --> 01:41:54,572 Speaker 22: point five meters dumped by its mum. She leaves no 2076 01:41:54,732 --> 01:41:57,732 Speaker 22: print or guidance. Yet that thing can navigate around an 2077 01:41:57,933 --> 01:42:01,173 Speaker 22: entire ocean, get to some places at the right season 2078 01:42:01,293 --> 01:42:04,173 Speaker 22: for food, migrate to another for another point, find its 2079 01:42:04,293 --> 01:42:07,293 Speaker 22: mates to mate in a season. You know that no 2080 01:42:07,452 --> 01:42:09,972 Speaker 22: one teaches them, and they somehow can do it magically. 2081 01:42:10,053 --> 01:42:12,532 Speaker 22: And you know, they do have senses. I think that 2082 01:42:12,612 --> 01:42:16,532 Speaker 22: are more mechanistic, you know, like like more like a 2083 01:42:17,133 --> 01:42:19,532 Speaker 22: you know, robotic in the sense that they're that refined. 2084 01:42:19,572 --> 01:42:21,452 Speaker 5: They don't almost waste time on emotion. 2085 01:42:22,093 --> 01:42:24,452 Speaker 22: They're just they're just getting on with their job. And 2086 01:42:24,612 --> 01:42:26,412 Speaker 22: so I think there's a big difference between like an 2087 01:42:26,532 --> 01:42:29,692 Speaker 22: orca dolphin mentality and a shark. And I think, to 2088 01:42:29,812 --> 01:42:32,812 Speaker 22: be honest, that's why I feel far more comfortable swimming 2089 01:42:32,853 --> 01:42:34,892 Speaker 22: with a shark than an orca, because an orca might 2090 01:42:34,973 --> 01:42:36,612 Speaker 22: just wake up and be pissed off that day and 2091 01:42:36,692 --> 01:42:40,293 Speaker 22: have an emotional flare out of it, you know, versus 2092 01:42:40,452 --> 01:42:42,772 Speaker 22: a shark, which can be quite predictable if you understand 2093 01:42:42,812 --> 01:42:43,412 Speaker 22: what you're looking for. 2094 01:42:44,293 --> 01:42:46,692 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that that kind of that kind of makes sense. 2095 01:42:46,732 --> 01:42:49,293 Speaker 2: The predictability is the same thing with people that deal 2096 01:42:49,372 --> 01:42:55,333 Speaker 2: with you know, crocs and such. So can you fight 2097 01:42:55,412 --> 01:42:56,333 Speaker 2: off a shark? 2098 01:42:58,213 --> 01:43:01,053 Speaker 22: Well, funny you say that because a kite surfer and 2099 01:43:01,133 --> 01:43:04,452 Speaker 22: Margaret River in Western Australia just got smoked by a 2100 01:43:04,532 --> 01:43:07,692 Speaker 22: great white when he was kite surfing and he landed 2101 01:43:07,732 --> 01:43:10,253 Speaker 22: on it after adjected him out of the air, and 2102 01:43:10,893 --> 01:43:12,973 Speaker 22: he started bashing it with his hands and you can 2103 01:43:13,053 --> 01:43:15,213 Speaker 22: imagine the shark it thought that this was like a 2104 01:43:15,253 --> 01:43:17,973 Speaker 22: fish skimming on the surface and whack number one to 2105 01:43:18,013 --> 01:43:19,253 Speaker 22: get a home bunch of five glass in his mouth 2106 01:43:19,293 --> 01:43:21,732 Speaker 22: number two. So that's getting feed into to all hell 2107 01:43:21,812 --> 01:43:23,692 Speaker 22: on its head and so it's out of there. Because 2108 01:43:23,732 --> 01:43:26,932 Speaker 22: sharks aren't stupid, they don't take on foreign situations. They've 2109 01:43:26,973 --> 01:43:31,213 Speaker 22: evolved to hunt very specific prey and so if all 2110 01:43:31,253 --> 01:43:33,333 Speaker 22: of a sudden the shark realizes, oh my goodness, that's 2111 01:43:33,333 --> 01:43:36,452 Speaker 22: not what I thought it was. You know, ninety eight 2112 01:43:36,492 --> 01:43:39,253 Speaker 22: percent of great white attacks on people, the shark never 2113 01:43:39,333 --> 01:43:43,572 Speaker 22: comes back, unfortunately. Now it's about getting you know, medical 2114 01:43:43,612 --> 01:43:46,933 Speaker 22: assistance asap because they've got very sharp teeth and we 2115 01:43:47,053 --> 01:43:52,052 Speaker 22: usually bleed out unfortunately. But you know, sharks don't eat people, 2116 01:43:52,133 --> 01:43:57,133 Speaker 22: they don't hunt people. They make mistakes sometimes, but you 2117 01:43:57,213 --> 01:43:59,372 Speaker 22: know people are, oh whatever, you surely they eat people. 2118 01:43:59,412 --> 01:44:01,933 Speaker 22: But it's like we can all accept the shark is 2119 01:44:02,133 --> 01:44:05,132 Speaker 22: very good at what it does. It's a very capable predator, 2120 01:44:05,253 --> 01:44:08,293 Speaker 22: and we suck in the ocean camp to everything else. 2121 01:44:08,732 --> 01:44:11,812 Speaker 22: So if they wanted to hunt us, they'd be eating 2122 01:44:11,893 --> 01:44:14,133 Speaker 22: us every single day because we're pretty easy to gat Yeah. 2123 01:44:14,652 --> 01:44:17,612 Speaker 2: How you speaking of catching, how how do you actually 2124 01:44:17,652 --> 01:44:21,092 Speaker 2: go about tagging a great white shark?

The ability to. 2268 01:50:16,933 --> 01:50:20,732 Speaker 20: Chew, well, you know, it's absolutely amazing, and I think 2269 01:50:20,853 --> 01:50:23,612 Speaker 20: I think it's an insult to the animal kingdom if 2270 01:50:23,652 --> 01:50:27,452 Speaker 20: we think that they are lesser than us. I mean, yeah, sure, 2271 01:50:27,492 --> 01:50:29,772 Speaker 20: they talk a different language that we don't understand, and 2272 01:50:30,452 --> 01:50:32,612 Speaker 20: you know they've got abilities like the dolphins and what 2273 01:50:32,772 --> 01:50:36,933 Speaker 20: have you that that just beyond our comprehension. Yeah, but 2274 01:50:37,213 --> 01:50:39,652 Speaker 20: I mean, yeah, so it's so intriguing, and if you're 2275 01:50:39,692 --> 01:50:43,093 Speaker 20: someone like David Edinburgh, I can't understand why he's just 2276 01:50:43,772 --> 01:50:46,852 Speaker 20: like the god of nature and it's so intrigued by it. 2277 01:50:46,973 --> 01:50:52,412 Speaker 20: As a scientist, absolutely amazing. But if I'm thinking that, okay, 2278 01:50:53,053 --> 01:50:55,772 Speaker 20: take for example, if you've got a lawnmowing guy and 2279 01:50:55,853 --> 01:51:00,812 Speaker 20: his mode lawns pushing a petrol exhaust fume lawnmower for 2280 01:51:00,933 --> 01:51:04,572 Speaker 20: ten years and his blood's full of petrochemicals, some start 2281 01:51:04,652 --> 01:51:07,812 Speaker 20: comes up and has a nip and then takes off. Well, 2282 01:51:07,893 --> 01:51:10,293 Speaker 20: of course, I mean the sharks are selective. They're not 2283 01:51:10,372 --> 01:51:11,572 Speaker 20: going to like that blood, are they. 2284 01:51:12,572 --> 01:51:14,852 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, fair point. But you're right on you know 2285 01:51:14,973 --> 01:51:17,372 Speaker 3: how we measure intelligence, and you can't compare them to 2286 01:51:17,452 --> 01:51:20,053 Speaker 3: the likes of the orca, or the dolphin, or indeed ourselves. 2287 01:51:20,173 --> 01:51:21,812 Speaker 2: Well, there's some things that we do better than them, 2288 01:51:21,853 --> 01:51:23,372 Speaker 2: and there's some things that they do better than us. 2289 01:51:23,412 --> 01:51:25,732 Speaker 2: You've got to say that the sharks have skills we don't. 2290 01:51:26,492 --> 01:51:29,213 Speaker 2: I'm intrigued.
