1 00:00:09,093 --> 00:00:11,973 Speaker 1: You're listening to a podcast from news talks it B. 2 00:00:12,373 --> 00:00:16,173 Speaker 1: Follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:16,693 --> 00:00:19,733 Speaker 1: It's time for all the attitude, all the opinion, all 4 00:00:19,773 --> 00:00:24,813 Speaker 1: the information, all the debates of the now, the Leighton 5 00:00:24,933 --> 00:00:27,613 Speaker 1: Smith Podcast powered by news talks it B. 6 00:00:27,933 --> 00:00:31,613 Speaker 2: Welcome to podcast two hundred and ninety one for July second, 7 00:00:31,813 --> 00:00:36,093 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. The Guy Hatchard Report. Over the last 8 00:00:36,093 --> 00:00:40,613 Speaker 2: couple of weeks published some interesting and I think important commentary. 9 00:00:41,093 --> 00:00:46,133 Speaker 2: The earliest one published June thirteen, California Dreaming, which refers 10 00:00:46,213 --> 00:00:51,333 Speaker 2: to matters concerning AI. Then on the eighteenth of June, 11 00:00:51,653 --> 00:00:55,693 Speaker 2: how sick is New Zealand What should be done? Makes 12 00:00:55,693 --> 00:00:59,013 Speaker 2: for interesting reading? And then on the twenty ninth of June, 13 00:00:59,213 --> 00:01:02,173 Speaker 2: the desire to stay alive and the capacity to give 14 00:01:02,213 --> 00:01:04,933 Speaker 2: birth are under threat. So let's look at that for 15 00:01:04,933 --> 00:01:08,893 Speaker 2: a moment. After five and a half years examining pandemic evidence, 16 00:01:09,253 --> 00:01:12,053 Speaker 2: it's clear who should be winning the argument, but it's 17 00:01:12,053 --> 00:01:17,013 Speaker 2: also apparent that attitudes have even hardened. This week, Tanya 18 00:01:17,093 --> 00:01:20,573 Speaker 2: Unkovich resigned as an MP. Up until now, she had 19 00:01:20,613 --> 00:01:25,813 Speaker 2: been our advocate inside the government, urging caution about biotechnology deregulation. 20 00:01:26,813 --> 00:01:31,613 Speaker 2: It seems probable that her unexpected resignation signals the determination 21 00:01:31,813 --> 00:01:34,693 Speaker 2: on the part of the coalition, including New Zealand First, 22 00:01:35,133 --> 00:01:39,413 Speaker 2: to ignore caution. There appears to be a growing determination 23 00:01:39,533 --> 00:01:42,973 Speaker 2: to push ahead with the Gene Technology Bill, which will 24 00:01:42,973 --> 00:01:47,933 Speaker 2: impose medical hegemony and genetic destruction on the whole population. 25 00:01:48,453 --> 00:01:52,133 Speaker 2: There are overseas interests egging the government on. We are 26 00:01:52,133 --> 00:01:57,373 Speaker 2: dealing with fanatics for whom evidence can be ignored with impunity. 27 00:01:57,773 --> 00:02:01,213 Speaker 2: And then there's some other input into this discussion that 28 00:02:01,333 --> 00:02:04,693 Speaker 2: has nothing to do whatsoever with Guy Hatchet and the 29 00:02:04,813 --> 00:02:08,173 Speaker 2: Guy Hatchard report. For instance, I came across to site 30 00:02:08,173 --> 00:02:11,933 Speaker 2: the I was totally unaware of Patriot Post and an 31 00:02:12,093 --> 00:02:16,773 Speaker 2: article by Laura Hollis the political footprint of settled Science, 32 00:02:17,413 --> 00:02:22,733 Speaker 2: which really gave rise to the podcast Interview Today. Now 33 00:02:22,733 --> 00:02:24,893 Speaker 2: it's a case of one thing leads to another. This 34 00:02:25,053 --> 00:02:28,573 Speaker 2: article by Hollis refers to will let me read it. 35 00:02:28,853 --> 00:02:32,493 Speaker 2: Last week, science writer Christopher Plain published a story in 36 00:02:32,573 --> 00:02:38,533 Speaker 2: the online magazine The Debrief. The Debrief, which describes its 37 00:02:38,733 --> 00:02:44,453 Speaker 2: subject matter as science, tech, and defense for the rebelliously 38 00:02:44,573 --> 00:02:48,773 Speaker 2: curious that interested me. It was about fossilized human footprints 39 00:02:48,773 --> 00:02:53,173 Speaker 2: found in a desiccated lake bed in White Sands, New Mexico, 40 00:02:53,493 --> 00:02:56,413 Speaker 2: and it has to do with the history of human 41 00:02:56,493 --> 00:03:00,333 Speaker 2: beings and their arrival in the Americas. The discovery not 42 00:03:00,413 --> 00:03:04,253 Speaker 2: only radically changed our perspective on the migration of ancient peoples, 43 00:03:04,573 --> 00:03:09,053 Speaker 2: it provides yet another warning about undue reliance upon what 44 00:03:09,213 --> 00:03:13,813 Speaker 2: has come to be called settled science, and Hollis continues 45 00:03:13,853 --> 00:03:17,253 Speaker 2: on to a number of examples. It was settled science 46 00:03:17,253 --> 00:03:20,653 Speaker 2: that COVID nineteen jumped species at of wu Hun markets, 47 00:03:20,693 --> 00:03:22,813 Speaker 2: and that we were to pay no attention to the 48 00:03:22,853 --> 00:03:26,813 Speaker 2: International Virology lab behind the curtain, or the gain of 49 00:03:26,853 --> 00:03:32,173 Speaker 2: function research that we weren't funding except when we were. 50 00:03:33,093 --> 00:03:37,413 Speaker 2: It was settled science that the mRNA shots for COVID 51 00:03:37,493 --> 00:03:41,293 Speaker 2: nineteen were safe and effective, even though they didn't prevent 52 00:03:41,853 --> 00:03:46,333 Speaker 2: contraction or transmission of the disease. And there have been 53 00:03:46,373 --> 00:03:51,453 Speaker 2: thousands of cases, many fatal myocarditis and pericarditis in young people. 54 00:03:51,933 --> 00:03:55,533 Speaker 2: Other potential adverse effects are now being studied as well. 55 00:03:55,693 --> 00:03:59,333 Speaker 2: The party line is still that the shots are safe. 56 00:03:59,493 --> 00:04:03,293 Speaker 2: We'll see. The science around climate change isn't settled either. 57 00:04:03,853 --> 00:04:07,693 Speaker 2: The science around climate change isn't settled either. And I 58 00:04:07,773 --> 00:04:11,413 Speaker 2: referred to another article that I printed on the twenty 59 00:04:11,493 --> 00:04:16,573 Speaker 2: eighth of June nineteen hundred. That's one nine hundred scientists 60 00:04:16,573 --> 00:04:20,413 Speaker 2: say climate change not caused by CO two the real 61 00:04:20,573 --> 00:04:24,893 Speaker 2: environment movement was hijacked. Now that is written by a 62 00:04:24,893 --> 00:04:27,853 Speaker 2: man with a science background, and we will get to that, 63 00:04:28,693 --> 00:04:32,893 Speaker 2: I believe, on another occasion in the in the near future. Now, 64 00:04:32,933 --> 00:04:35,493 Speaker 2: the discussion with Guy Hatchet that follows is a very 65 00:04:35,493 --> 00:04:38,493 Speaker 2: interesting one in my opinion, and I value my opinion. 66 00:04:38,853 --> 00:04:41,493 Speaker 2: Now at the back end of the podcast, after the 67 00:04:41,493 --> 00:04:44,453 Speaker 2: mail room, there's a couple of very interesting matters that 68 00:04:44,493 --> 00:04:47,173 Speaker 2: I'll share and I'll be very interested in your reaction 69 00:04:47,253 --> 00:04:51,013 Speaker 2: to that also, So after a short break, Guy Hatchet, 70 00:04:51,853 --> 00:04:55,693 Speaker 2: Laton Smith. Buckerlan is a natural oral vaccine in a 71 00:04:55,733 --> 00:04:59,413 Speaker 2: tablet form called bacterial I say it'll boost your natural 72 00:04:59,453 --> 00:05:02,973 Speaker 2: protection against bacterial infections in your chest and throat. A 73 00:05:03,013 --> 00:05:05,773 Speaker 2: three day course of seven bugel and tablets will help 74 00:05:05,773 --> 00:05:08,853 Speaker 2: your body build up to three months of immunity against 75 00:05:08,933 --> 00:05:12,893 Speaker 2: bugs which cause bacterial cold symptoms. So who can take 76 00:05:12,933 --> 00:05:15,853 Speaker 2: buccolan well, the whole family From two years of age 77 00:05:15,893 --> 00:05:19,453 Speaker 2: and upwards. A course of Buccolan tablets offers cost effective 78 00:05:19,493 --> 00:05:23,573 Speaker 2: and safe protection from colds and chills. Protection becomes effective 79 00:05:23,773 --> 00:05:26,613 Speaker 2: a few days after you take buccolan and lasts for 80 00:05:26,773 --> 00:05:29,853 Speaker 2: up to three months following the three day course. Buccolin 81 00:05:29,893 --> 00:05:32,733 Speaker 2: can be taken throughout the cold season, over winter, or 82 00:05:32,773 --> 00:05:35,613 Speaker 2: all the year round. And remember Buckelan is not intended 83 00:05:35,693 --> 00:05:39,413 Speaker 2: as an alternative to influenza vaccination, but may be used 84 00:05:39,413 --> 00:05:43,173 Speaker 2: along with the flu vaccination for added protection. And keep 85 00:05:43,213 --> 00:05:45,773 Speaker 2: in mind that millions of doses have been taken by 86 00:05:45,853 --> 00:05:49,693 Speaker 2: Kiwis for over fifty years. Only available from your pharmacist. 87 00:05:49,933 --> 00:05:53,253 Speaker 2: Always read the label and users directed, and see your 88 00:05:53,253 --> 00:06:06,493 Speaker 2: doctor if systems persist. Farmer Broker or Clum Layton Smith, 89 00:06:07,573 --> 00:06:09,933 Speaker 2: Guy Hatchett's very good to have you back on the podcast. 90 00:06:09,973 --> 00:06:11,653 Speaker 3: Thank you wonderful to be here. 91 00:06:12,093 --> 00:06:15,653 Speaker 2: Earlier on in the podcast, I began with something from 92 00:06:15,693 --> 00:06:19,293 Speaker 2: the political footprint of settled science. I want to pick 93 00:06:19,333 --> 00:06:22,373 Speaker 2: it up from where I left it and move into 94 00:06:22,453 --> 00:06:26,173 Speaker 2: what we're going to talk about this way. So let 95 00:06:26,213 --> 00:06:29,893 Speaker 2: me quote that's the way real science works. Even the 96 00:06:29,893 --> 00:06:33,253 Speaker 2: most established theories can be questioned, and while defenders of 97 00:06:33,293 --> 00:06:36,613 Speaker 2: the status quo will demand a lot of evidence, what 98 00:06:36,813 --> 00:06:40,853 Speaker 2: we know will change when new information proves the old 99 00:06:40,893 --> 00:06:47,653 Speaker 2: ways of thinking false. But science becomes a very different process, rigid, 100 00:06:48,013 --> 00:06:52,813 Speaker 2: intolerant of dissent, and dangerous when it gets yoked to politics. 101 00:06:53,573 --> 00:06:55,973 Speaker 2: Questions are no longer permitted because now it's not just 102 00:06:56,293 --> 00:07:00,093 Speaker 2: some obscure academics pet theory that's at stake. It's a 103 00:07:00,133 --> 00:07:03,933 Speaker 2: platform of policy objectives that an entire political party is 104 00:07:03,933 --> 00:07:07,053 Speaker 2: seeking to force down the public's throat or other parts 105 00:07:07,053 --> 00:07:10,573 Speaker 2: of their bodies, as may be the I and others 106 00:07:10,613 --> 00:07:13,653 Speaker 2: have written about this, says the author. In twenty seventeen, 107 00:07:13,693 --> 00:07:16,453 Speaker 2: I wrote What Margarine Can Teach Us About Climate Change, 108 00:07:16,773 --> 00:07:20,933 Speaker 2: an article about doctor Paul Offitt's book Pandora's Lab. Seven 109 00:07:21,013 --> 00:07:25,173 Speaker 2: Stories of Science Gone Wrong. The government chose to discourage 110 00:07:25,213 --> 00:07:28,333 Speaker 2: consumption of dairy products in favor of seed oils on 111 00:07:28,373 --> 00:07:34,493 Speaker 2: the basis of flawed and incomplete information, with deleterious health consequences. 112 00:07:35,213 --> 00:07:37,613 Speaker 2: Two years later, I wrote another article that explained how 113 00:07:37,653 --> 00:07:42,853 Speaker 2: governments around the world mandated sterilizations, coerced abortions, and promoted 114 00:07:42,973 --> 00:07:48,813 Speaker 2: infanticide in response to fear mongering and false predictions about 115 00:07:49,093 --> 00:07:55,333 Speaker 2: a population explosion. One dead giveaway that academic inquiry has 116 00:07:55,373 --> 00:08:00,613 Speaker 2: been hijacked by politics is the term settled science, so 117 00:08:00,933 --> 00:08:04,813 Speaker 2: we're told it's settled science. The childhood vaccines are safe 118 00:08:05,293 --> 00:08:07,653 Speaker 2: until we learn that none have been the subject of 119 00:08:07,693 --> 00:08:11,813 Speaker 2: long term tis against placebos, and some researchers are now 120 00:08:11,893 --> 00:08:16,093 Speaker 2: investigating possible connections between vaccinations and sudden infant death syndrome. 121 00:08:16,813 --> 00:08:21,253 Speaker 2: Those defending the current vaccination schedule insists that these new 122 00:08:21,333 --> 00:08:26,653 Speaker 2: inquiries are nonsense. We'll see and I must include this. 123 00:08:27,213 --> 00:08:30,693 Speaker 2: The science around climate change isn't settled either. That the 124 00:08:30,733 --> 00:08:34,973 Speaker 2: climate changes is certain, the extent to which human activity 125 00:08:35,093 --> 00:08:38,053 Speaker 2: changes it is not. When I was in high school, 126 00:08:38,053 --> 00:08:39,973 Speaker 2: we were warned about the coming ice age. By the 127 00:08:40,013 --> 00:08:42,813 Speaker 2: time I was in law school it was global warming. 128 00:08:43,173 --> 00:08:47,973 Speaker 2: Predictions about the Ozone hole and Antarctica have been wrong. 129 00:08:49,093 --> 00:08:53,333 Speaker 2: Science is a process, not a result. Now that was 130 00:08:53,413 --> 00:08:56,733 Speaker 2: a long introduction, but I thought it was quite relevant. 131 00:08:57,493 --> 00:09:03,453 Speaker 2: Written by Laura Hollis from the Patriot Post. There anything 132 00:09:03,453 --> 00:09:04,613 Speaker 2: in there that you'd comment on? 133 00:09:06,413 --> 00:09:12,053 Speaker 3: Well, I think the history of science and scientific ideas 134 00:09:12,173 --> 00:09:16,373 Speaker 3: and papers at university, and whenever you get a big 135 00:09:16,453 --> 00:09:23,893 Speaker 3: paradigm change, you enter a period of science where you 136 00:09:23,973 --> 00:09:27,653 Speaker 3: have competing ideas and some people can change and some 137 00:09:27,773 --> 00:09:32,253 Speaker 3: people can't. Change, and we're certainly into that era now. 138 00:09:32,373 --> 00:09:38,693 Speaker 3: But as you, as the author said, the politicization of 139 00:09:38,773 --> 00:09:45,293 Speaker 3: science is a huge mistake because, as we know, politicians 140 00:09:45,373 --> 00:09:50,773 Speaker 3: are driven by ideas which are foreign to science. They 141 00:09:50,813 --> 00:09:56,973 Speaker 3: have to do with economic and social ideas which are 142 00:09:57,013 --> 00:10:00,933 Speaker 3: a long long way from scientific understanding in its most 143 00:10:01,013 --> 00:10:01,853 Speaker 3: rigorous sense. 144 00:10:03,053 --> 00:10:06,293 Speaker 2: You've been You've been writing a lot over the last 145 00:10:06,373 --> 00:10:09,813 Speaker 2: few weeks. I think more than more than normal maybe. 146 00:10:10,893 --> 00:10:14,173 Speaker 2: And the first one that the first article that took 147 00:10:14,213 --> 00:10:18,053 Speaker 2: my attention. They all do, but seriously took my attention. 148 00:10:18,093 --> 00:10:20,333 Speaker 2: If you know what I mean, how sick is New 149 00:10:20,413 --> 00:10:24,653 Speaker 2: Zealand and what should be done? Where do you go 150 00:10:24,733 --> 00:10:24,973 Speaker 2: with that? 151 00:10:26,253 --> 00:10:32,973 Speaker 3: Well, this is something that should be absolutely dominating the 152 00:10:33,013 --> 00:10:38,933 Speaker 3: air waves, but it's something that is completely forgotten. Southern 153 00:10:38,973 --> 00:10:44,293 Speaker 3: Cross has come out with its annual report. That's a 154 00:10:44,333 --> 00:10:49,893 Speaker 3: health insurer, and they report that thirty three percent of 155 00:10:49,933 --> 00:10:55,253 Speaker 3: its members made a health claim in twenty nineteen. In 156 00:10:55,333 --> 00:11:00,973 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, fifty percent, that's half claimed under their 157 00:11:01,013 --> 00:11:05,813 Speaker 3: health insurance scheme, and that represents a whopping fifty percent 158 00:11:05,933 --> 00:11:11,333 Speaker 3: increase in sickness. And that comes out at about one 159 00:11:11,413 --> 00:11:16,413 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty eight thousand more sick Southern Cross Cross 160 00:11:16,493 --> 00:11:24,893 Speaker 3: clients coming up since twenty nineteen, and if they only 161 00:11:25,133 --> 00:11:27,933 Speaker 3: ensure twenty percent of the population, So if you scale 162 00:11:27,973 --> 00:11:32,093 Speaker 3: that up, we've got seven one hundred and eighty eight 163 00:11:32,173 --> 00:11:35,693 Speaker 3: thousand more sick kiwis in twenty twenty four compared to 164 00:11:35,693 --> 00:11:41,533 Speaker 3: twenty nineteen. That's an extra fifteen percent of the population 165 00:11:41,613 --> 00:11:47,293 Speaker 3: who are getting sick at this time. And that's staggering. 166 00:11:48,093 --> 00:11:54,413 Speaker 3: And that joins a whole huge range of changes in 167 00:11:54,453 --> 00:12:00,973 Speaker 3: our health problem profile. We have rates of disability, we 168 00:12:01,093 --> 00:12:05,573 Speaker 3: have rates of chest pain, asthma, mental illness, kidney disease, 169 00:12:05,733 --> 00:12:11,053 Speaker 3: heart attacks, strokes, ents for all difficulties, and birth rates, cancer, 170 00:12:11,133 --> 00:12:18,453 Speaker 3: sick days or with off. The chart increases since the pandemic, 171 00:12:19,453 --> 00:12:23,693 Speaker 3: and more particularly not the pandemic, so much has since 172 00:12:23,773 --> 00:12:27,133 Speaker 3: twenty twenty one when the vaccination campaign began. 173 00:12:28,133 --> 00:12:33,013 Speaker 2: I I asked the random question of a medico only 174 00:12:33,093 --> 00:12:36,893 Speaker 2: recently that I was just having a discussion with or 175 00:12:36,933 --> 00:12:42,093 Speaker 2: with whom I was just having a discussion, And I said, 176 00:12:43,613 --> 00:12:51,893 Speaker 2: considering what we know now, what chance, for instance, that 177 00:12:52,373 --> 00:12:57,453 Speaker 2: my issue, which was a heart attack in twenty two 178 00:12:58,413 --> 00:13:02,813 Speaker 2: that was connected with the two opening shots that I 179 00:13:02,893 --> 00:13:05,613 Speaker 2: got because I didn't get any more, put a stop 180 00:13:05,653 --> 00:13:09,733 Speaker 2: to it. And the answer was along the lines of, 181 00:13:09,813 --> 00:13:13,893 Speaker 2: well that's something The answer was, well, that's something that 182 00:13:13,933 --> 00:13:15,053 Speaker 2: nobody knows the answer to. 183 00:13:15,893 --> 00:13:17,773 Speaker 3: Well, we do know the answer to it, don't we. 184 00:13:17,893 --> 00:13:24,133 Speaker 3: Because studies are being published, you know, definitive studies looking 185 00:13:24,173 --> 00:13:29,013 Speaker 3: at a very wide range of illnesses, comparing the outcomes 186 00:13:29,053 --> 00:13:33,293 Speaker 3: for vaccinated and unvaccinated. And here in New Zealand, it's 187 00:13:33,373 --> 00:13:35,853 Speaker 3: become a political dogma to put your head in the 188 00:13:35,893 --> 00:13:38,653 Speaker 3: sand and not say anything. One of the reasons is 189 00:13:38,853 --> 00:13:42,653 Speaker 3: is that General Medical Council may jump on you and 190 00:13:42,733 --> 00:13:46,653 Speaker 3: you might lose your job, or the government might sue you, 191 00:13:48,933 --> 00:13:53,213 Speaker 3: sach you, sue you and imprison you even for going 192 00:13:53,253 --> 00:13:58,293 Speaker 3: against the political dogma that vaccination was a wonderful thing, 193 00:13:58,413 --> 00:13:59,693 Speaker 3: like the COVID vaccination. 194 00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:07,653 Speaker 2: But the statistics and the detail that is now known 195 00:14:07,733 --> 00:14:11,293 Speaker 2: doesn't let over right what the government was saying and 196 00:14:11,493 --> 00:14:13,133 Speaker 2: might still be saying in some quarters. 197 00:14:14,453 --> 00:14:18,053 Speaker 3: Absolutely. I mean, we have to wake up, we have 198 00:14:18,133 --> 00:14:21,853 Speaker 3: to wake up to the reality and we have to 199 00:14:21,933 --> 00:14:28,533 Speaker 3: face the consequences. This is a yeah, what's happening is 200 00:14:28,573 --> 00:14:33,573 Speaker 3: that the government is saying people are becoming workshy there 201 00:14:34,133 --> 00:14:37,213 Speaker 3: you know, because the disability rates are up so high 202 00:14:37,253 --> 00:14:40,533 Speaker 3: and the sick days are up so high, and therefore 203 00:14:40,613 --> 00:14:42,813 Speaker 3: we have to sort of force people back to work. 204 00:14:42,853 --> 00:14:45,293 Speaker 3: But the answer is really rather simple when you look 205 00:14:45,293 --> 00:14:48,173 Speaker 3: at the stats is people are becoming more sick, and 206 00:14:48,213 --> 00:14:53,173 Speaker 3: they're more sick with more serious illnesses. We're seeing now 207 00:14:53,853 --> 00:14:56,733 Speaker 3: for the first time in fifty years that the rate 208 00:14:56,773 --> 00:15:01,093 Speaker 3: of heart attacks is increasing and the rate of rate 209 00:15:01,133 --> 00:15:05,133 Speaker 3: of deaths from heart disease is increasing. We're, as one 210 00:15:06,133 --> 00:15:09,893 Speaker 3: person put it in the UK, this is we've set 211 00:15:09,933 --> 00:15:16,093 Speaker 3: ourselves back fifteen years as far as cardiac illness and 212 00:15:16,133 --> 00:15:21,333 Speaker 3: strokers concerned, diso for cancers, and the media needs to 213 00:15:21,413 --> 00:15:24,533 Speaker 3: step up here. I mean, we've got a diet of 214 00:15:25,013 --> 00:15:30,253 Speaker 3: headlines that say, you know, family tragedy, mother or father 215 00:15:30,453 --> 00:15:34,933 Speaker 3: struck down with cancer, or yesterday I think we saw 216 00:15:35,333 --> 00:15:38,893 Speaker 3: filmmaker went to sleep and didn't wake up and so on. 217 00:15:39,213 --> 00:15:43,453 Speaker 3: We're sort of they're sensationalizing what's going on. But you 218 00:15:43,493 --> 00:15:49,253 Speaker 3: look at the hard statistics and these the increases are enormous. 219 00:15:49,853 --> 00:15:55,613 Speaker 3: I mean, they're they're frighteningly enormous, and we have to backtrack. 220 00:15:55,733 --> 00:15:58,493 Speaker 3: And quite frankly, I don't care whether it's the vaccine 221 00:15:59,413 --> 00:16:02,613 Speaker 3: or the COVID. I mean, the evidence, in my opinion, 222 00:16:02,893 --> 00:16:06,013 Speaker 3: points very strongly to the vaccine, But whether it's the 223 00:16:06,093 --> 00:16:09,533 Speaker 3: vaccine or COVID doesn't really matter. They both came out 224 00:16:09,533 --> 00:16:13,973 Speaker 3: of a biotech lab and we've made a huge mistake 225 00:16:14,093 --> 00:16:19,333 Speaker 3: going down a route that is affecting the capacity of 226 00:16:19,413 --> 00:16:22,293 Speaker 3: the immune system to function. That's the end of it. 227 00:16:22,333 --> 00:16:26,333 Speaker 3: That's the end of the story. And people it now, 228 00:16:26,493 --> 00:16:31,173 Speaker 3: they're resisting it because they're deeply invested in this parrot, 229 00:16:31,173 --> 00:16:36,333 Speaker 3: in this genetic paradigm that we can alter people's genetics 230 00:16:36,373 --> 00:16:38,533 Speaker 3: and make them live longer and be more healthy. It 231 00:16:38,613 --> 00:16:39,693 Speaker 3: just simply isn't true. 232 00:16:40,773 --> 00:16:41,693 Speaker 2: How do you prove that? 233 00:16:43,173 --> 00:16:47,493 Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's very simple. You know, from a 234 00:16:47,533 --> 00:16:51,093 Speaker 3: mathematical point of view, from a statistical point of view, 235 00:16:51,813 --> 00:16:57,573 Speaker 3: you have to use time series analysis. The key is 236 00:16:57,693 --> 00:17:02,453 Speaker 3: when did something occurred? If you did A and B happens, 237 00:17:02,973 --> 00:17:07,613 Speaker 3: then you're you know, you suspect. But if you do 238 00:17:08,693 --> 00:17:11,973 Speaker 3: A again and B happens again, then you get a 239 00:17:11,973 --> 00:17:17,013 Speaker 3: bit more sure, and with each step the certainty of 240 00:17:17,053 --> 00:17:20,813 Speaker 3: your conclusion increases. This is what time series analysis does. 241 00:17:20,933 --> 00:17:24,813 Speaker 3: A follow B or B follow A, and then you 242 00:17:24,933 --> 00:17:28,573 Speaker 3: get to what's at the root of the causation here, 243 00:17:28,693 --> 00:17:32,493 Speaker 3: and we're way past that in terms of the statistical analysis. 244 00:17:32,533 --> 00:17:37,653 Speaker 3: It's just that governments have wanted to hide their tracks. 245 00:17:37,773 --> 00:17:41,493 Speaker 3: And this is where you started out, the politicization of science. 246 00:17:41,893 --> 00:17:47,773 Speaker 3: There are political reputations on the line now connected to 247 00:17:47,893 --> 00:17:52,053 Speaker 3: a full scientific narrative. And I have to go back 248 00:17:52,093 --> 00:17:57,613 Speaker 3: to Nazi Germany when you know, relativity was described as 249 00:17:57,733 --> 00:18:05,013 Speaker 3: Jewish science and prescribed you couldn't believe in Einstein because 250 00:18:05,013 --> 00:18:10,573 Speaker 3: he was Jewish. It's it's ridiculous situation that we find 251 00:18:10,613 --> 00:18:14,253 Speaker 3: ourselves in, and there's a lot of money involved. There's 252 00:18:14,293 --> 00:18:20,653 Speaker 3: an awful lot of money and government grants. People's standing 253 00:18:20,733 --> 00:18:27,413 Speaker 3: in their profession is at risk, people's political standing, the 254 00:18:27,573 --> 00:18:33,933 Speaker 3: capacity to attract investment, and that is if you look 255 00:18:33,973 --> 00:18:39,613 Speaker 3: at the investment side of things that is changing. Biotech 256 00:18:39,693 --> 00:18:44,133 Speaker 3: companies are now finding it very difficult to attract investment 257 00:18:45,053 --> 00:18:49,973 Speaker 3: because one, most biotech companies, you're about eighty percent of 258 00:18:50,013 --> 00:18:55,533 Speaker 3: biotech startups fail. But two, there has been an accumulation 259 00:18:55,653 --> 00:18:58,893 Speaker 3: of evidence of deaths from gene therapies and so on, 260 00:18:59,733 --> 00:19:04,653 Speaker 3: and investors, you know, they're taking decisions that the government, 261 00:19:05,333 --> 00:19:07,813 Speaker 3: they're compelled to take decisions because they have to make 262 00:19:07,853 --> 00:19:11,533 Speaker 3: good investments. The government doesn't care because they can waste 263 00:19:11,533 --> 00:19:13,213 Speaker 3: money as much as they want. 264 00:19:14,293 --> 00:19:18,213 Speaker 2: Quote from your article that I'm referring to, the massive 265 00:19:18,253 --> 00:19:21,373 Speaker 2: global death toll, which should have been laid at the 266 00:19:21,373 --> 00:19:25,533 Speaker 2: feet of biotechnology, amounts to tens of millions of lost 267 00:19:25,613 --> 00:19:30,573 Speaker 2: souls whose fate is being ignored, a number still growing daily. 268 00:19:31,213 --> 00:19:34,853 Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean that just look at the excess deaths. 269 00:19:35,053 --> 00:19:36,973 Speaker 3: And again there are studies coming on. 270 00:19:37,653 --> 00:19:39,173 Speaker 2: But there are no excess deaths. 271 00:19:43,413 --> 00:19:46,173 Speaker 3: You know, you have to massage the data a lot, 272 00:19:46,293 --> 00:19:51,133 Speaker 3: and the studies that study published the other day, really 273 00:19:51,213 --> 00:19:55,093 Speaker 3: even the World Health Organization is starting to admit that 274 00:19:55,173 --> 00:19:59,133 Speaker 3: it's rather strange that the highly vaccinated countries have the 275 00:19:59,253 --> 00:20:06,853 Speaker 3: highest level of excess deaths. And we sort of we 276 00:20:06,973 --> 00:20:09,093 Speaker 3: have dodged the bullet a little bit in the early 277 00:20:09,173 --> 00:20:14,453 Speaker 3: days because we locked down our borders and we actually 278 00:20:14,573 --> 00:20:18,213 Speaker 3: just didn't lock out COVID for twenty twenty and twenty 279 00:20:18,293 --> 00:20:23,413 Speaker 3: twenty one, we locked out the flu as well by 280 00:20:23,653 --> 00:20:29,373 Speaker 3: locking our borders down here. But actually death started to 281 00:20:29,533 --> 00:20:32,533 Speaker 3: peak in twenty twenty one in New Zealand, and they went 282 00:20:32,653 --> 00:20:36,653 Speaker 3: up in parallel with the vaccination program, we didn't have 283 00:20:36,733 --> 00:20:40,573 Speaker 3: the flu. We still have the lockdowns and the border closures. 284 00:20:41,213 --> 00:20:45,733 Speaker 3: But the death started to climb. And if you add up, 285 00:20:45,813 --> 00:20:50,493 Speaker 3: if you accumulate the deaths that twenty twenty and the 286 00:20:50,533 --> 00:20:53,413 Speaker 3: beginning of twenty twenty one, when we had that very 287 00:20:53,453 --> 00:20:56,533 Speaker 3: low death rate, that kind of saved the figures. But 288 00:20:56,653 --> 00:20:59,813 Speaker 3: as you go through the years, you get into twenty 289 00:20:59,853 --> 00:21:01,973 Speaker 3: two and you get into twenty three, you see the 290 00:21:02,053 --> 00:21:04,653 Speaker 3: excess death taking out and we still have access deaths. 291 00:21:04,693 --> 00:21:10,253 Speaker 3: Twenty twenty four was up four point seven percent on 292 00:21:10,293 --> 00:21:13,373 Speaker 3: the historical average. Well that's one thousand and four. 293 00:21:14,053 --> 00:21:17,893 Speaker 2: Death Sorry, sorry you dropped out momentarily, one thousand. 294 00:21:18,253 --> 00:21:25,213 Speaker 3: One thousand, four hundred extra deaths in twenty twenty four. 295 00:21:25,613 --> 00:21:26,373 Speaker 2: In New Zealand. 296 00:21:27,133 --> 00:21:32,333 Speaker 3: In New Zealand. Yeah, and that's that's up to actually 297 00:21:32,453 --> 00:21:36,813 Speaker 3: March twenty twenty five. We still have exces deaths here. 298 00:21:37,493 --> 00:21:39,653 Speaker 3: More people are dying and that's not a small number. 299 00:21:39,653 --> 00:21:44,173 Speaker 3: That's more than dies in road accidents. It's more than 300 00:21:44,173 --> 00:21:46,293 Speaker 3: the number of people who died in Tehran. 301 00:21:48,973 --> 00:21:51,653 Speaker 2: That's why I asked you to repeat it, because it's 302 00:21:51,693 --> 00:21:53,973 Speaker 2: a very large number. I would have thought when it 303 00:21:54,013 --> 00:21:58,333 Speaker 2: comes to an excess now how does that compare with 304 00:21:58,613 --> 00:22:01,653 Speaker 2: other parts of the world. And I know that Written 305 00:22:01,853 --> 00:22:05,493 Speaker 2: really has been at the forefront of releasing these figures 306 00:22:05,493 --> 00:22:07,013 Speaker 2: over everybody else. 307 00:22:09,293 --> 00:22:11,573 Speaker 3: Well, No, there's a lot of countries, you know, we 308 00:22:11,693 --> 00:22:15,493 Speaker 3: just don't pay so much attention to other countries. South Korea, 309 00:22:17,293 --> 00:22:22,093 Speaker 3: it releases a lot of data that can be publicly analyzed, 310 00:22:22,253 --> 00:22:26,573 Speaker 3: and some of the Eastern European countries and even the 311 00:22:26,653 --> 00:22:30,533 Speaker 3: Mids and Middle East countries as well. The excess deaths 312 00:22:30,533 --> 00:22:35,413 Speaker 3: are up where the vaccination rates are high. And it's 313 00:22:35,493 --> 00:22:41,413 Speaker 3: not just excess deaths, it's the level of illness. And 314 00:22:41,453 --> 00:22:47,133 Speaker 3: that includes mental illness. Because our genes, the functioning pnetic 315 00:22:47,253 --> 00:22:51,693 Speaker 3: system underpins our whole physiology, it underpins our whole mental 316 00:22:51,733 --> 00:22:55,813 Speaker 3: health as well. We're discussing before that. You just go 317 00:22:55,893 --> 00:22:59,693 Speaker 3: back in history and in eighteen ninety five Marie Curie 318 00:23:00,733 --> 00:23:04,773 Speaker 3: discovered radioactivity, and then we had a whole era that 319 00:23:04,813 --> 00:23:08,613 Speaker 3: went right through until the nineteen thirties where people thought 320 00:23:09,133 --> 00:23:13,933 Speaker 3: that radioactivity was a miracle cure. You could buy little 321 00:23:14,573 --> 00:23:18,853 Speaker 3: devices with radioactive material in them where you put water 322 00:23:18,933 --> 00:23:21,413 Speaker 3: in it and then you overnight, and then you were 323 00:23:21,413 --> 00:23:24,453 Speaker 3: supposed to drink six cups a day, and the American 324 00:23:24,973 --> 00:23:31,373 Speaker 3: Medical Association even regulated the whole system, so they didn't 325 00:23:31,533 --> 00:23:35,973 Speaker 3: like ones that weren't delivering really high doses of radioactivity. 326 00:23:36,013 --> 00:23:41,013 Speaker 3: But it took thirty five years before people realized this 327 00:23:41,213 --> 00:23:43,933 Speaker 3: was extremely dangerous and cancerous. 328 00:23:44,293 --> 00:23:47,173 Speaker 2: Why does it take so long, because that's not a 329 00:23:47,173 --> 00:23:49,653 Speaker 2: sole case. Why does it take so Why does it 330 00:23:49,693 --> 00:23:53,093 Speaker 2: take so long for something that's been introduced, be it 331 00:23:53,093 --> 00:23:57,013 Speaker 2: an approach, be it a product or whatever, a methodology 332 00:23:57,373 --> 00:24:01,653 Speaker 2: that ends up being declared invalid or close to it, 333 00:24:02,573 --> 00:24:04,293 Speaker 2: but it's taken a long time to get there. 334 00:24:05,333 --> 00:24:08,093 Speaker 3: Well, you can go back to the Thomas Khon's work 335 00:24:08,133 --> 00:24:11,853 Speaker 3: on structure of scientific revolutions. He talked about the so 336 00:24:11,973 --> 00:24:18,773 Speaker 3: called anomalous card experiment where they're experimenting in this case, 337 00:24:18,853 --> 00:24:21,973 Speaker 3: upon students and they're in a room and they've got 338 00:24:21,973 --> 00:24:26,173 Speaker 3: a screen and they're presented with playing cards and asked 339 00:24:26,173 --> 00:24:31,453 Speaker 3: to identify them. And they're quite fast and they readily 340 00:24:31,693 --> 00:24:35,013 Speaker 3: identify playing cards. You know, that's the six of hearts, 341 00:24:35,093 --> 00:24:38,213 Speaker 3: that's the nine of spades, and so on. But what 342 00:24:38,373 --> 00:24:44,253 Speaker 3: the experimenter did was that he introduced anomalous cards, so 343 00:24:44,333 --> 00:24:50,653 Speaker 3: you would have a red seven of spades, for example, 344 00:24:50,653 --> 00:24:53,253 Speaker 3: which of course is a card that doesn't exist. Now, 345 00:24:53,813 --> 00:24:58,533 Speaker 3: at a high pace, the students had no difficulty identifying them. 346 00:24:59,013 --> 00:25:02,973 Speaker 3: So they would see that the red seven of spades 347 00:25:03,013 --> 00:25:04,893 Speaker 3: and they would say, oh, that's the seven of hearts. 348 00:25:05,773 --> 00:25:09,133 Speaker 3: So they would be getting it wrong. Now you slow 349 00:25:09,333 --> 00:25:13,653 Speaker 3: the pace down the presentation of the cards, and a 350 00:25:13,773 --> 00:25:18,853 Speaker 3: point was reached where the subject would start to get confused. Oh, 351 00:25:18,893 --> 00:25:22,293 Speaker 3: I'm not sure about that one, and then something would twig. 352 00:25:22,613 --> 00:25:25,293 Speaker 3: Oh wait a minute, that's not a card. But a 353 00:25:25,413 --> 00:25:30,013 Speaker 3: significant proportion of the population, more than ten percent, can 354 00:25:30,173 --> 00:25:34,053 Speaker 3: never make the switch. Doesn't matter how slowly you show 355 00:25:34,133 --> 00:25:38,133 Speaker 3: them those cards. And these are students, remember they're intelligent people. 356 00:25:38,533 --> 00:25:42,933 Speaker 3: Doesn't matter how slowly you show them those cards. They 357 00:25:43,013 --> 00:25:45,893 Speaker 3: can't ever make the switch to the fact that there 358 00:25:45,933 --> 00:25:49,013 Speaker 3: is such a thing as an anomalous card. And that 359 00:25:49,213 --> 00:25:52,573 Speaker 3: is what we're at. We've come to the point where 360 00:25:53,173 --> 00:25:57,133 Speaker 3: the whole idea that you can edit genes and get 361 00:25:57,173 --> 00:26:02,173 Speaker 3: something better, which is turning out to be a false idea. 362 00:26:02,893 --> 00:26:05,933 Speaker 3: We're getting something worse, we're getting health problems, and so on. 363 00:26:07,333 --> 00:26:11,053 Speaker 3: There's a bus section of even these very intelligent people 364 00:26:11,133 --> 00:26:15,133 Speaker 3: involved in biotechnology, so called intelligent anyway, they can't make 365 00:26:15,173 --> 00:26:19,333 Speaker 3: the switch, they can't admit that they were wrong. We've 366 00:26:19,333 --> 00:26:22,893 Speaker 3: got that in the field of politics, and we've got 367 00:26:22,893 --> 00:26:25,893 Speaker 3: it in the field of science, people. 368 00:26:25,813 --> 00:26:28,013 Speaker 2: And economics. Unless you want to include that one of 369 00:26:28,053 --> 00:26:29,213 Speaker 2: the first two groups. 370 00:26:29,693 --> 00:26:34,973 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we're in We're in deep trouble. We're in 371 00:26:35,053 --> 00:26:41,693 Speaker 3: deep trouble because this technology is really unhealthy and it 372 00:26:41,773 --> 00:26:45,813 Speaker 3: comes back to you know, millions of people. We're in 373 00:26:45,813 --> 00:26:47,373 Speaker 3: a This like a war. 374 00:26:48,373 --> 00:26:50,933 Speaker 2: That's a that's a very aggressive way of putting it. 375 00:26:52,773 --> 00:26:56,613 Speaker 3: Well, it's a war. And this is what I'd like 376 00:26:56,693 --> 00:26:58,933 Speaker 3: to say. It's a war on nature. It's it's the 377 00:26:59,213 --> 00:27:03,933 Speaker 3: ultimate expression of destructive thinking. You know, we tend to 378 00:27:03,973 --> 00:27:07,973 Speaker 3: feel that destructive thinking is limited to the military, but 379 00:27:08,653 --> 00:27:11,973 Speaker 3: actually a lot of medical science is built on the 380 00:27:12,013 --> 00:27:17,853 Speaker 3: idea of destroying the pathogen. And you know that's a 381 00:27:17,893 --> 00:27:24,693 Speaker 3: lot of biotech techniques come from bacterial destructive bacterial properties. 382 00:27:25,093 --> 00:27:29,053 Speaker 3: When you do genetic engineering, you get double strandber breaks 383 00:27:29,053 --> 00:27:36,013 Speaker 3: in the DNA, you get essentially mutative events that take 384 00:27:36,093 --> 00:27:40,893 Speaker 3: place that are destructive of the coherent functioning of the DNA. 385 00:27:41,933 --> 00:27:44,173 Speaker 3: So in that sense, it's like a war. It's a 386 00:27:44,213 --> 00:27:48,813 Speaker 3: war that's occurring in the on the micro organism level, 387 00:27:50,533 --> 00:27:52,293 Speaker 3: sorry all of us. 388 00:27:53,053 --> 00:27:56,693 Speaker 2: So you asked the question where are governments placing their 389 00:27:56,693 --> 00:27:59,333 Speaker 2: trust and what are they investing in on our behalf. 390 00:27:59,733 --> 00:28:00,413 Speaker 2: What's the answer. 391 00:28:04,093 --> 00:28:06,613 Speaker 3: Well, they're going for gene technology, yes, but they're also 392 00:28:06,653 --> 00:28:11,253 Speaker 3: going big time for things like artificial intelligence, which is 393 00:28:11,413 --> 00:28:15,773 Speaker 3: a huge mistake. I mean, way back when you know 394 00:28:15,973 --> 00:28:20,053 Speaker 3: calculators came in. Who would have sort of predicted in 395 00:28:20,133 --> 00:28:22,453 Speaker 3: the beginning that people would no longer be able to 396 00:28:22,453 --> 00:28:26,133 Speaker 3: do math. But that's the situation we've arrived in. By 397 00:28:26,573 --> 00:28:32,693 Speaker 3: starting to stop using our minds and start delegating that 398 00:28:32,893 --> 00:28:38,853 Speaker 3: to electronic devices, you gradually lose the capacity to think. 399 00:28:39,813 --> 00:28:42,813 Speaker 3: And that has happened in maths and it's now happening 400 00:28:43,013 --> 00:28:48,133 Speaker 3: with writing and reading. And AI is the kind of 401 00:28:48,453 --> 00:28:54,093 Speaker 3: ultimate kind of development of that, because whilst a calculator 402 00:28:54,133 --> 00:28:58,973 Speaker 3: at least gives you the right answer, AI gives you 403 00:28:59,053 --> 00:29:03,093 Speaker 3: some really stupid answers, as probably many of your listeners 404 00:29:03,173 --> 00:29:08,613 Speaker 3: know already. I cited the example of I want to 405 00:29:08,773 --> 00:29:11,253 Speaker 3: just in the one of my articles I've just written, 406 00:29:11,613 --> 00:29:17,933 Speaker 3: I wanted to know just to be sure? Was New 407 00:29:18,053 --> 00:29:20,733 Speaker 3: Zealand one of the first to have a national health service, 408 00:29:21,853 --> 00:29:27,733 Speaker 3: and so I asked Google, and Google AI, which now 409 00:29:27,853 --> 00:29:32,973 Speaker 3: sort of headlines, you're the answer to your question. It 410 00:29:33,013 --> 00:29:35,373 Speaker 3: came back and said, no, New Zealand wasn't one of 411 00:29:35,413 --> 00:29:38,613 Speaker 3: the first, because it did it in nineteen thirty eight 412 00:29:38,773 --> 00:29:41,973 Speaker 3: and the NHS in the UK was formed in nineteen 413 00:29:42,053 --> 00:29:47,053 Speaker 3: forty eight. So New Zealand wasn't first. Well that's pretty stupid. 414 00:29:49,093 --> 00:29:52,093 Speaker 2: Well when we could have made a printing era. 415 00:29:53,733 --> 00:29:56,973 Speaker 3: Not no, no, no, no, no, it's it's it's actually 416 00:29:57,053 --> 00:29:59,573 Speaker 3: become a big thing in the newspapers. Now if you 417 00:29:59,613 --> 00:30:05,253 Speaker 3: read sort of a bit more serious discussion is AI, 418 00:30:05,493 --> 00:30:10,773 Speaker 3: it turns out is you know, it's a little schizophrenic 419 00:30:11,573 --> 00:30:18,133 Speaker 3: and imagines it hallucinates. They talk about hallucination and the 420 00:30:18,293 --> 00:30:23,613 Speaker 3: latest iterations of AI are hallucinating, you know, big time. 421 00:30:23,733 --> 00:30:28,853 Speaker 3: They're imagining because they don't do what we do. You see, 422 00:30:29,333 --> 00:30:35,853 Speaker 3: thinking isn't done basically by a set of rules. When 423 00:30:35,893 --> 00:30:38,853 Speaker 3: we think as human beings, we have the capacity to 424 00:30:38,973 --> 00:30:45,653 Speaker 3: identify and categorize distinct objects, objectives, and relevant examples. We 425 00:30:45,693 --> 00:30:50,053 Speaker 3: can entertain doubt, and we can apply steps of logic 426 00:30:50,173 --> 00:30:54,133 Speaker 3: and reasoning, and we can also attack opposing views, and 427 00:30:54,173 --> 00:30:58,133 Speaker 3: we can use argument dispute and ridicule even and we 428 00:30:58,213 --> 00:31:04,733 Speaker 3: recognize fallacies, circular arguments, unproven premises, and we know that 429 00:31:04,773 --> 00:31:09,093 Speaker 3: there are some things that have two meanings, and yeah, 430 00:31:09,093 --> 00:31:13,453 Speaker 3: and so on. We can use metaphor and analogy. You know, 431 00:31:13,613 --> 00:31:20,333 Speaker 3: the human mind, it sort of alternates between silence and dynamism. 432 00:31:20,533 --> 00:31:22,533 Speaker 3: Is well, there's the way we can start to think 433 00:31:22,573 --> 00:31:26,373 Speaker 3: about it. It sort of comes back to a ground 434 00:31:26,453 --> 00:31:31,293 Speaker 3: state and then we project something new. We're creative in 435 00:31:31,333 --> 00:31:33,893 Speaker 3: a very real sense, and we can experience. We can 436 00:31:33,933 --> 00:31:38,213 Speaker 3: look around as well. Computers can't experience. They can't look around. 437 00:31:38,373 --> 00:31:41,493 Speaker 3: What they can look at is just the past, what 438 00:31:41,733 --> 00:31:45,053 Speaker 3: was written on the internet. They're very limited. 439 00:31:45,333 --> 00:31:48,653 Speaker 2: Well, is it is it expected that if we accept 440 00:31:48,693 --> 00:31:52,973 Speaker 2: what you've just said, it's it's accept it's accepted that 441 00:31:53,693 --> 00:31:56,493 Speaker 2: over a period of time and the accumulation of so 442 00:31:56,653 --> 00:32:01,773 Speaker 2: much knowledge and information, they will be able to transfer 443 00:32:01,893 --> 00:32:04,093 Speaker 2: their attention to getting things right. 444 00:32:06,653 --> 00:32:07,133 Speaker 3: I just. 445 00:32:09,773 --> 00:32:10,533 Speaker 2: That was a question. 446 00:32:10,653 --> 00:32:17,733 Speaker 3: That's a question circumstance, isn't it. You know, in certain circumstances, 447 00:32:18,613 --> 00:32:22,733 Speaker 3: the right thing may be A and in other circumstances 448 00:32:22,773 --> 00:32:25,333 Speaker 3: it may be B. Because it's a question of time 449 00:32:26,493 --> 00:32:32,213 Speaker 3: and circumstances and the human mind is assessing all of 450 00:32:32,253 --> 00:32:36,213 Speaker 3: this constantly. We're waiting, I mean, just bringing up a family, 451 00:32:37,173 --> 00:32:41,333 Speaker 3: the kind of the level of it's not computation, but 452 00:32:41,413 --> 00:32:47,333 Speaker 3: the level of understanding and empathy that is required to 453 00:32:47,453 --> 00:32:50,573 Speaker 3: just bring up a family. You can't write a set 454 00:32:50,613 --> 00:32:51,973 Speaker 3: of rules for that. 455 00:32:52,213 --> 00:32:55,613 Speaker 2: Right you. So you've you've led me ahead. 456 00:32:57,653 --> 00:33:01,293 Speaker 3: Well, it doesn't matter. I think. Look, the government is 457 00:33:01,333 --> 00:33:07,053 Speaker 3: starting to use AI in its whole approach, and it's 458 00:33:07,133 --> 00:33:10,053 Speaker 3: going to go incredible wrong. And we have to be 459 00:33:10,213 --> 00:33:17,693 Speaker 3: really alert now because it's going out of it's going 460 00:33:17,733 --> 00:33:22,053 Speaker 3: out of its elastic limit. What we're dealing with here. 461 00:33:22,773 --> 00:33:27,653 Speaker 3: We have a government that should be realizing that biotechnology, 462 00:33:27,733 --> 00:33:31,493 Speaker 3: the whole pandemic use of biotechnology, led to a national 463 00:33:31,533 --> 00:33:38,533 Speaker 3: health crisis, and instead they're deregulating biotechnology and allowing people 464 00:33:38,613 --> 00:33:41,933 Speaker 3: really in essence to experiment on us. And we really 465 00:33:41,973 --> 00:33:42,853 Speaker 3: have to push back. 466 00:33:43,613 --> 00:33:46,853 Speaker 2: The first article that you wrote that caught my attention 467 00:33:47,013 --> 00:33:50,173 Speaker 2: was June thirteen, So we had June thirteen, we had 468 00:33:50,653 --> 00:33:54,533 Speaker 2: June eighteen, I think in June twenty nine for the 469 00:33:54,573 --> 00:33:58,773 Speaker 2: three that I'm referring to. Under California Dreaming, the New 470 00:33:58,853 --> 00:34:05,933 Speaker 2: York Times is heralding a new company called Mechanize formed 471 00:34:05,933 --> 00:34:11,573 Speaker 2: in San Francisco to produce software with the audacious Is 472 00:34:11,613 --> 00:34:13,493 Speaker 2: that your word or theirs? Because it's in quotes. 473 00:34:14,573 --> 00:34:18,493 Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it's it's their word. It's it's the I 474 00:34:18,893 --> 00:34:20,013 Speaker 3: put question bogs. 475 00:34:20,093 --> 00:34:24,973 Speaker 2: Aren't You did the audacious goal of replacing fifty percent 476 00:34:24,973 --> 00:34:27,933 Speaker 2: of white collar jobs with AI within the next five years. 477 00:34:28,053 --> 00:34:30,533 Speaker 2: Now this has got people scared. I realized it has 478 00:34:30,733 --> 00:34:35,613 Speaker 2: a lot of them. They plan to fully automate all jobs, 479 00:34:35,653 --> 00:34:41,053 Speaker 2: including doctors, lawyers, architects, and childcare otherwise known as mothers 480 00:34:41,053 --> 00:34:46,373 Speaker 2: and parents. Then you cover off a devastating study commissioned 481 00:34:46,413 --> 00:34:50,853 Speaker 2: by Apple Computers. What did they say, Well. 482 00:34:50,693 --> 00:34:54,213 Speaker 3: The AI suffers a complete accuracy collapse in the face 483 00:34:54,253 --> 00:34:57,533 Speaker 3: of complex problems. You see AI the way it's structured. 484 00:34:57,613 --> 00:34:59,813 Speaker 2: So what I'm sorry, I'm what I was trying to 485 00:34:59,893 --> 00:35:01,933 Speaker 2: draw out, and you're doing it, But I just want 486 00:35:01,933 --> 00:35:03,973 Speaker 2: to say it. What I was trying to draw out 487 00:35:04,053 --> 00:35:06,933 Speaker 2: was that you could beef that was your statement. You 488 00:35:07,013 --> 00:35:11,293 Speaker 2: could be assaulted over it. But it's not your statement. 489 00:35:12,053 --> 00:35:17,773 Speaker 2: It's a study done by Apple. Yeah, and they're the 490 00:35:17,853 --> 00:35:21,893 Speaker 2: last people who want to eradicate the direction that things 491 00:35:21,893 --> 00:35:22,373 Speaker 2: are going in. 492 00:35:24,013 --> 00:35:28,533 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, they're they're they've obviously got some intelligent people 493 00:35:28,733 --> 00:35:33,613 Speaker 3: somewhere in the tech community. You know, again, it's an 494 00:35:33,693 --> 00:35:36,133 Speaker 3: article of faith, isn't it, that AI is the kind 495 00:35:36,173 --> 00:35:44,733 Speaker 3: of future of anything. But it's basically it's, you know, 496 00:35:44,813 --> 00:35:49,253 Speaker 3: what AI wants to do is you know, they've got 497 00:35:49,293 --> 00:35:53,373 Speaker 3: a big problem, right, You ask them a complex question, 498 00:35:54,413 --> 00:35:59,413 Speaker 3: and it wants to break it down into little bits, 499 00:36:00,453 --> 00:36:04,173 Speaker 3: and then it starts to get lost in the bits, 500 00:36:04,733 --> 00:36:09,493 Speaker 3: and that again is a kind of hallmark of what 501 00:36:09,973 --> 00:36:13,973 Speaker 3: human thinking is. We are constantly endeavoring not to get 502 00:36:13,973 --> 00:36:17,333 Speaker 3: lost in the detail. You know, at the back of 503 00:36:17,373 --> 00:36:21,213 Speaker 3: our minder are the big picture, and when we do 504 00:36:21,293 --> 00:36:24,853 Speaker 3: start to get lost in the detail, we kind of 505 00:36:25,173 --> 00:36:29,693 Speaker 3: recalibrate and get back to our fundamental goals in life. 506 00:36:29,853 --> 00:36:34,093 Speaker 3: AI apparently has not been able to do that. It can't, 507 00:36:34,893 --> 00:36:37,013 Speaker 3: you know, it can't learn. It's what it's doing is 508 00:36:37,133 --> 00:36:40,533 Speaker 3: looking back into the past, and the past is to 509 00:36:41,413 --> 00:36:47,933 Speaker 3: information dense. Essentially, there's so much information that it gets lost. 510 00:36:48,893 --> 00:36:53,733 Speaker 3: And the other thing that it does is it it 511 00:36:53,893 --> 00:36:56,453 Speaker 3: tends to try. I don't know whether you've ever interacted 512 00:36:56,653 --> 00:37:03,893 Speaker 3: with it in detail, but it wants it's programmed to 513 00:37:04,053 --> 00:37:07,253 Speaker 3: keep you involved because they have to sell this technology 514 00:37:08,413 --> 00:37:16,253 Speaker 3: that AI tends to become sycophantic. It tends to commiserate 515 00:37:16,333 --> 00:37:20,093 Speaker 3: with your point of view, and people are actually going 516 00:37:20,213 --> 00:37:24,373 Speaker 3: mad using it AI because if you've got some kind 517 00:37:24,413 --> 00:37:27,533 Speaker 3: of wild idea, perhaps it has to do with aliens 518 00:37:27,693 --> 00:37:32,813 Speaker 3: or some other conspiracy theory, then AI will start to 519 00:37:32,813 --> 00:37:37,613 Speaker 3: play up to that, it will start to empathize with you, 520 00:37:38,733 --> 00:37:42,413 Speaker 3: and it can really send you down a rabbit hole. 521 00:37:42,493 --> 00:37:44,933 Speaker 3: I know there's all this talk about people going down 522 00:37:44,973 --> 00:37:49,133 Speaker 3: the rabbit hole because they were concerned about COVID vaccination, 523 00:37:49,853 --> 00:37:52,013 Speaker 3: but it was the other way round. It was this 524 00:37:52,133 --> 00:37:58,573 Speaker 3: sort of tech driven ideas that were not real science 525 00:37:58,693 --> 00:38:01,293 Speaker 3: that were driving people into rabbit holes. 526 00:38:01,653 --> 00:38:07,413 Speaker 2: There is another sector of this discussion from Maryann de Massi. 527 00:38:08,413 --> 00:38:12,333 Speaker 2: Marsi is an investigative medical reporter with a PhD. 528 00:38:11,853 --> 00:38:13,573 Speaker 3: And I'm familiar with her. 529 00:38:13,533 --> 00:38:17,173 Speaker 2: Rumatology, but I'm doing this for others who write for 530 00:38:17,413 --> 00:38:22,213 Speaker 2: online media and top tiered medical journals for overt what. 531 00:38:22,933 --> 00:38:25,733 Speaker 2: I've mentioned her before, and I approached her when she 532 00:38:25,773 --> 00:38:29,973 Speaker 2: first when she first went into publishing on the net 533 00:38:30,253 --> 00:38:34,373 Speaker 2: like this. We write to her and she gave us 534 00:38:34,373 --> 00:38:37,133 Speaker 2: a very good explanation of why she wouldn't do an interview, 535 00:38:37,213 --> 00:38:40,133 Speaker 2: and that was because she wanted to be quite separate 536 00:38:40,253 --> 00:38:44,293 Speaker 2: from anything media so that she could never be sort 537 00:38:44,333 --> 00:38:48,053 Speaker 2: of accused of things that she wasn't really guilty of anyway. 538 00:38:48,973 --> 00:38:53,613 Speaker 2: Hundreds of drugs approved without proof they work. Now you 539 00:38:53,653 --> 00:38:54,293 Speaker 2: agree with. 540 00:38:54,213 --> 00:39:00,693 Speaker 3: That, yeah, absolutely. I mean, just what Robert Kennedy Junior 541 00:39:00,893 --> 00:39:04,853 Speaker 3: is instituting and some of the people who he's appointed 542 00:39:04,973 --> 00:39:11,053 Speaker 3: to two positions in in the Health and Human Services 543 00:39:11,253 --> 00:39:19,133 Speaker 3: section in America, they are backtracking into demanding a level 544 00:39:19,173 --> 00:39:24,173 Speaker 3: of proof for drugs. And this is very important because 545 00:39:25,413 --> 00:39:30,373 Speaker 3: what we're finding is drugs are sold as miracle cures 546 00:39:30,573 --> 00:39:37,653 Speaker 3: when the size their effect sizes are very, very small. 547 00:39:37,813 --> 00:39:42,453 Speaker 3: And I point out in particular at one of the 548 00:39:42,493 --> 00:39:48,733 Speaker 3: most commonly prescribed heart drugs in New Zealand, the Tiagra Law. 549 00:39:49,813 --> 00:39:54,693 Speaker 3: Thiagra Law is a blood thinner, often given to people 550 00:39:54,853 --> 00:39:59,733 Speaker 3: after they've had a cardiac event, and a study published 551 00:40:00,053 --> 00:40:06,093 Speaker 3: last week in the BMJ brought the whole original trial 552 00:40:06,333 --> 00:40:13,333 Speaker 3: of Tiagra Law into some scrutiny and disrepute because one 553 00:40:13,493 --> 00:40:20,093 Speaker 3: third of the trial data results were discarded by the researchers, 554 00:40:20,173 --> 00:40:26,013 Speaker 3: and if you include those discarded outcomes in the trial. 555 00:40:26,693 --> 00:40:33,053 Speaker 3: Tiagra law can have a negative effect on recovery from 556 00:40:33,093 --> 00:40:39,253 Speaker 3: a heart attack or more particularly, it was less effective 557 00:40:39,413 --> 00:40:47,013 Speaker 3: than the drug it replaced, chloropelladol, and yet it's now 558 00:40:47,053 --> 00:40:51,253 Speaker 3: the gold standard. So it was a fiddled trial. And 559 00:40:51,293 --> 00:40:54,613 Speaker 3: when we look at the effect size that how effective 560 00:40:54,653 --> 00:40:58,813 Speaker 3: it is, it runs about one point nine percent, that's 561 00:40:58,973 --> 00:41:03,613 Speaker 3: two out of fifty. It had a tiny effect size, 562 00:41:03,973 --> 00:41:09,653 Speaker 3: and yet it's the gold standard, whereas exercise diet have 563 00:41:10,453 --> 00:41:13,253 Speaker 3: effect sizes of the order of thirty percent when it 564 00:41:13,293 --> 00:41:17,493 Speaker 3: comes to heart problems. So why aren't our doctors that's 565 00:41:17,573 --> 00:41:25,533 Speaker 3: thirty Why aren't our doctors concentrating on advising people about 566 00:41:25,573 --> 00:41:31,493 Speaker 3: improvements in diet and exercise and meditation when it comes 567 00:41:31,533 --> 00:41:36,213 Speaker 3: to heart problems. And we do have a massive problem 568 00:41:37,093 --> 00:41:41,493 Speaker 3: that has accelerated since the pandemic with heart attacks and strokes. 569 00:41:42,653 --> 00:41:47,493 Speaker 3: So if you're serious about dealing with the epidemic of 570 00:41:47,573 --> 00:41:55,093 Speaker 3: heart attacks, exercise, diet, meditation can have a massive impact 571 00:41:55,573 --> 00:42:02,213 Speaker 3: on your survival and getting back to full health. And 572 00:42:02,333 --> 00:42:05,933 Speaker 3: yet here we are dealing with a drug whose original 573 00:42:06,093 --> 00:42:08,813 Speaker 3: trial was apparently apparently started. 574 00:42:09,093 --> 00:42:13,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to throw in here, I'm obliged to 575 00:42:13,253 --> 00:42:17,653 Speaker 2: I feel that you have been criticized for some of 576 00:42:17,693 --> 00:42:20,533 Speaker 2: the approaches that you have with regard to health, like 577 00:42:20,573 --> 00:42:25,533 Speaker 2: meditation and the associated things. Is that still in play, 578 00:42:26,173 --> 00:42:29,413 Speaker 2: that criticism, Yeah. 579 00:42:29,333 --> 00:42:32,213 Speaker 3: If you do a research. I mean, it's very interesting 580 00:42:32,253 --> 00:42:35,853 Speaker 3: again coming back to WHEREI actually because if you ask 581 00:42:35,933 --> 00:42:40,933 Speaker 3: about Guy Hatchard, then you come back to one article 582 00:42:41,413 --> 00:42:45,493 Speaker 3: written in Stuff magazine which was attacking me because I 583 00:42:45,533 --> 00:42:48,653 Speaker 3: was interested in meditation. So if you want to know 584 00:42:48,693 --> 00:42:51,573 Speaker 3: who I am and you ask Google, it's going to 585 00:42:51,613 --> 00:42:56,173 Speaker 3: repare you to an article written in Stuff newspaper which 586 00:42:56,293 --> 00:42:59,333 Speaker 3: was highly critical. It's not going to repare you to 587 00:42:59,453 --> 00:43:05,133 Speaker 3: my rebuttal of that article. And there again I had 588 00:43:05,173 --> 00:43:08,973 Speaker 3: a colleague of mind just sort of. They were waiting 589 00:43:09,013 --> 00:43:13,453 Speaker 3: in the hospital for their partner who was hospitalized for 590 00:43:13,493 --> 00:43:16,853 Speaker 3: a reason, so they were just doodling with AI and 591 00:43:16,893 --> 00:43:20,133 Speaker 3: they were asking. They ended up asking about me, and 592 00:43:20,173 --> 00:43:26,293 Speaker 3: they asked that is guy Hatchard opposed to biotechnology? And 593 00:43:26,373 --> 00:43:29,053 Speaker 3: the answer from me I came back He said, no, no, 594 00:43:29,373 --> 00:43:34,853 Speaker 3: he really quite likes technology. So we're living in a 595 00:43:34,893 --> 00:43:41,013 Speaker 3: sea of disinformation. Actually, I mean, you talry about meditation. 596 00:43:41,293 --> 00:43:44,373 Speaker 3: If you want to be able to trust something, the 597 00:43:44,413 --> 00:43:47,533 Speaker 3: best place to start is to trust yourself to understand 598 00:43:47,573 --> 00:43:51,493 Speaker 3: yourself more fully, and that's what meditation is all about. 599 00:43:52,333 --> 00:43:55,893 Speaker 3: And yes, it has enormous health benefits. And there are 600 00:43:55,933 --> 00:44:00,573 Speaker 3: some seven hundred published studies in the peer review journals 601 00:44:00,613 --> 00:44:04,413 Speaker 3: of the effect. For example of what I do transcendental meditation, 602 00:44:04,493 --> 00:44:07,693 Speaker 3: But there are different sorts of meditation which have been researched. 603 00:44:08,853 --> 00:44:13,333 Speaker 3: Beneficial technology, and I'm very proud to be associated with 604 00:44:13,413 --> 00:44:16,293 Speaker 3: it over a long period of time. There are lots 605 00:44:16,293 --> 00:44:21,373 Speaker 3: of things. It's not a panacea for everything. It just 606 00:44:21,453 --> 00:44:24,653 Speaker 3: has a very big effect size well. 607 00:44:24,693 --> 00:44:28,453 Speaker 2: I've known plenty of people through life who have participated 608 00:44:28,573 --> 00:44:33,373 Speaker 2: in it. I can't speak for the results. That's all 609 00:44:33,773 --> 00:44:39,333 Speaker 2: the last the most recent article that you wrote it 610 00:44:39,453 --> 00:44:42,893 Speaker 2: was June twenty nine, and we're recording this the day 611 00:44:42,933 --> 00:44:47,253 Speaker 2: after the desire to stay alive and the capacity to 612 00:44:47,293 --> 00:44:50,893 Speaker 2: give birth are under threat. After five and a half 613 00:44:50,973 --> 00:44:54,333 Speaker 2: years examining pandemic evidence, it's clear who should be winning 614 00:44:54,373 --> 00:44:57,693 Speaker 2: the argument, but it is also apparent that attitudes have 615 00:44:57,893 --> 00:45:02,133 Speaker 2: even hardened about what do you speak. 616 00:45:03,533 --> 00:45:08,893 Speaker 3: Well? Again, More studies are in the The UK Adult 617 00:45:09,053 --> 00:45:12,693 Speaker 3: Psychiatric Morbidity Survey was published on the twenty sixth of 618 00:45:12,813 --> 00:45:16,973 Speaker 3: June and it found one in four young people in 619 00:45:17,013 --> 00:45:20,573 Speaker 3: England now have a mental health condition, rising by thirty 620 00:45:20,973 --> 00:45:25,533 Speaker 3: seven percent between twenty fourteen and twenty twenty four and 621 00:45:25,773 --> 00:45:31,533 Speaker 3: most worryingly serious conditions such as self harm and suicide 622 00:45:31,973 --> 00:45:40,613 Speaker 3: suicidal thoughts have quadrupled. That's huge. This is affecting sixteen 623 00:45:40,653 --> 00:45:43,293 Speaker 3: to twenty four year olds and these are self harm. 624 00:45:43,413 --> 00:45:48,493 Speaker 3: It means that you know you're harming life, you're harming 625 00:45:48,493 --> 00:45:51,533 Speaker 3: your own life, and you know you're going through moments 626 00:45:51,533 --> 00:45:55,933 Speaker 3: where you don't wish to continue to live. And this 627 00:45:56,213 --> 00:46:04,533 Speaker 3: parallels more exact studies of the effect of vaccination that 628 00:46:04,613 --> 00:46:10,693 Speaker 3: we have reported on previously. South Korean Health System has 629 00:46:10,733 --> 00:46:14,333 Speaker 3: looked at two million people and found that there are 630 00:46:14,373 --> 00:46:20,813 Speaker 3: more psychiatric events following COVID vaccination than among the unvaccinated. 631 00:46:21,093 --> 00:46:23,893 Speaker 2: I'm going to be doing something on this in a 632 00:46:23,893 --> 00:46:27,253 Speaker 2: week or two or three. But assisted suicide do you 633 00:46:27,293 --> 00:46:31,053 Speaker 2: have an opinion on it? Absolutely that you'd like that 634 00:46:31,133 --> 00:46:36,173 Speaker 2: you'd like to It's so subject to abuse. 635 00:46:37,533 --> 00:46:40,853 Speaker 3: You know, in countries where they've had it for a 636 00:46:40,893 --> 00:46:45,253 Speaker 3: long time, like Canada, the number of people going through 637 00:46:45,293 --> 00:46:53,253 Speaker 3: the system is increasing and you know it's I personally 638 00:46:53,933 --> 00:46:57,013 Speaker 3: feel that it can be subject to abuse. And again 639 00:46:57,053 --> 00:47:02,013 Speaker 3: I go back to the whole program of Euphnasia and 640 00:47:02,573 --> 00:47:07,013 Speaker 3: in the nineteen thirties in Germany it was you know, 641 00:47:07,133 --> 00:47:13,853 Speaker 3: the useless eater idea. And you can see in families 642 00:47:13,893 --> 00:47:18,613 Speaker 3: already in the country, like in Canada, that families can 643 00:47:18,693 --> 00:47:23,613 Speaker 3: start to put pressure on their elders. Oh you know, 644 00:47:23,773 --> 00:47:26,573 Speaker 3: it's life really worth living, and so on so forth. 645 00:47:28,013 --> 00:47:34,013 Speaker 3: I you know, I'm a religious person and I agree 646 00:47:34,013 --> 00:47:37,373 Speaker 3: with Robert Frost. Something has to be left to God. 647 00:47:37,893 --> 00:47:43,973 Speaker 3: And I've had some wonderful experiences around the process of 648 00:47:44,053 --> 00:47:47,613 Speaker 3: passing from this life, and I know it's a sacred 649 00:47:47,653 --> 00:47:54,293 Speaker 3: moment and leave it to God. I have a great 650 00:47:54,333 --> 00:47:56,573 Speaker 3: faith in nature. 651 00:47:56,373 --> 00:48:01,013 Speaker 2: Where does that leave things if you're not a believer. 652 00:48:04,213 --> 00:48:06,853 Speaker 3: Well, there are the laws of nature. Whether you call 653 00:48:06,893 --> 00:48:10,813 Speaker 3: them God's will or whether you just realize that there 654 00:48:10,813 --> 00:48:16,973 Speaker 3: are laws of nature and they're ruling our life. They 655 00:48:17,053 --> 00:48:22,733 Speaker 3: are you know, the sun rising every day has more 656 00:48:22,773 --> 00:48:29,333 Speaker 3: effect than any government. It's life giving, the waters, the winds, 657 00:48:29,533 --> 00:48:35,373 Speaker 3: the the gravity. You know, there's a there's a cosmic 658 00:48:35,493 --> 00:48:41,133 Speaker 3: system there, and I think you know, you can understand 659 00:48:41,173 --> 00:48:46,653 Speaker 3: that nature there's a cosmic level of organization involves, and 660 00:48:46,693 --> 00:48:51,413 Speaker 3: whether one looks at that religiously or whether one looks 661 00:48:51,453 --> 00:48:58,493 Speaker 3: at it scientifically, there's a level of orderliness there in 662 00:48:58,613 --> 00:49:06,133 Speaker 3: life that is awesome, you know, described by people like 663 00:49:06,253 --> 00:49:11,253 Speaker 3: Einstein and the others with a sense of deep ore 664 00:49:11,453 --> 00:49:18,013 Speaker 3: and respect. There is something bigger going on in life. 665 00:49:19,973 --> 00:49:22,173 Speaker 3: The other thing that I talked about in the article 666 00:49:22,293 --> 00:49:25,573 Speaker 3: when we're talking about the desire to stay alive, was 667 00:49:25,653 --> 00:49:31,613 Speaker 3: a study of in Czechoslovakia, a study of one three 668 00:49:31,733 --> 00:49:35,693 Speaker 3: hundred thousand women ages eighteen to thirty nine. The rates 669 00:49:35,933 --> 00:49:41,453 Speaker 3: of successful conception among the COVID vaccinated women were considerably 670 00:49:41,573 --> 00:49:44,013 Speaker 3: lower than the unvaccinated And if you look at the 671 00:49:44,413 --> 00:49:47,973 Speaker 3: graph I always reference the original If you look at 672 00:49:47,973 --> 00:49:49,733 Speaker 3: the graph, the difference is huge. 673 00:49:50,813 --> 00:49:54,853 Speaker 2: I'm looking not at the graph but at the article. 674 00:49:57,773 --> 00:50:01,853 Speaker 3: If I put links in there in my articles back 675 00:50:01,893 --> 00:50:03,933 Speaker 3: to the original studies, and if you go back to 676 00:50:03,933 --> 00:50:07,573 Speaker 3: the original studies, then there was a very large difference. 677 00:50:08,333 --> 00:50:13,733 Speaker 3: It was much harder to become pregnant. And that's reflected 678 00:50:13,773 --> 00:50:17,973 Speaker 3: in the New Zealand data we've we had since COVID 679 00:50:18,053 --> 00:50:21,933 Speaker 3: vaccination came in, we had we've had a massive four 680 00:50:22,333 --> 00:50:30,493 Speaker 3: in fertility rates in the whole population, and you this 681 00:50:30,613 --> 00:50:33,413 Speaker 3: is there can hardly be two things that are more 682 00:50:33,453 --> 00:50:37,293 Speaker 3: relevant to the survival of the human race, the desire 683 00:50:37,333 --> 00:50:40,933 Speaker 3: to stay alive in the capacity to give birth. And 684 00:50:40,973 --> 00:50:45,093 Speaker 3: that's this is what we're seeing. I mean even today 685 00:50:46,293 --> 00:50:49,653 Speaker 3: I wrote this article we're referring to yesterday, but even 686 00:50:49,693 --> 00:50:55,893 Speaker 3: today in the UK twenty twenty four compared to twenty 687 00:50:55,973 --> 00:50:59,933 Speaker 3: twenty three, there has been a forty five percent increase 688 00:51:00,253 --> 00:51:04,453 Speaker 3: in visits to doctors for asthma in the UK. 689 00:51:05,813 --> 00:51:09,053 Speaker 2: That I have to ask, even though you get to 690 00:51:09,093 --> 00:51:10,773 Speaker 2: answer it, how come. 691 00:51:12,133 --> 00:51:18,773 Speaker 3: It's you know, asthma has obviously is connected to quality 692 00:51:18,813 --> 00:51:21,573 Speaker 3: of air and pollution like that so forth, but there 693 00:51:21,613 --> 00:51:26,573 Speaker 3: hasn't been an increase of forty five percent pollution between 694 00:51:26,573 --> 00:51:35,053 Speaker 3: twenty three and twenty four in the UK. It our response, 695 00:51:35,093 --> 00:51:43,373 Speaker 3: our an asthmatic response is connected with an immune response. 696 00:51:43,413 --> 00:51:47,333 Speaker 3: It's not an autoimmune condition. It's not the immune system 697 00:51:47,373 --> 00:51:52,773 Speaker 3: attacking itself, but the body's capacity to manage it and 698 00:51:52,853 --> 00:51:58,533 Speaker 3: to overcome an asthmatic attack is related to the capacity 699 00:51:58,573 --> 00:52:03,293 Speaker 3: of our immune system. And what we have seen with 700 00:52:03,453 --> 00:52:09,493 Speaker 3: these We have to remember that COVID vaccination is specifically 701 00:52:10,253 --> 00:52:18,093 Speaker 3: a biotech intervention designed to change our genetic response to 702 00:52:18,213 --> 00:52:23,653 Speaker 3: a pathogen. It changes our immune system, and that's the 703 00:52:23,813 --> 00:52:30,093 Speaker 3: long term effect, in my opinion, irreversible. Well time is 704 00:52:30,093 --> 00:52:34,933 Speaker 3: going to tell, isn't it. I it's certainly what the 705 00:52:34,973 --> 00:52:38,413 Speaker 3: studies show is the more shots you have, the more 706 00:52:40,133 --> 00:52:43,773 Speaker 3: chance that you had of serious illness. 707 00:52:44,333 --> 00:52:51,373 Speaker 2: Do you believe with evidence that those at the top 708 00:52:52,693 --> 00:52:55,333 Speaker 2: and I look to America first of all, but then 709 00:52:55,373 --> 00:52:59,093 Speaker 2: you've got to look to no, I'll get to us 710 00:52:59,133 --> 00:53:04,173 Speaker 2: in a minute, but to the top echelon of decision 711 00:53:04,213 --> 00:53:08,293 Speaker 2: makers when it comes to this and feel that criminal 712 00:53:08,453 --> 00:53:12,493 Speaker 2: charges are worthy. 713 00:53:13,933 --> 00:53:18,133 Speaker 3: You know, when when when ninety percent of the population 714 00:53:18,333 --> 00:53:24,053 Speaker 3: have done something, is it ever going to come criminal charges? 715 00:53:24,213 --> 00:53:31,453 Speaker 3: It's sort of it's you know, I see it coming 716 00:53:31,493 --> 00:53:35,693 Speaker 3: to a crisis. I look, I'm going to go back 717 00:53:35,733 --> 00:53:38,853 Speaker 3: to Germany again. I'm sorry. I know it's not. It's 718 00:53:38,973 --> 00:53:42,573 Speaker 3: not you know it criticize you, but you know, when 719 00:53:42,613 --> 00:53:48,493 Speaker 3: you get mass acceptance of Nazism as you did, the 720 00:53:48,893 --> 00:53:51,253 Speaker 3: only way it was going to change was was the 721 00:53:51,293 --> 00:53:54,253 Speaker 3: whole thing coming to a massive crisis. And that is 722 00:53:54,333 --> 00:53:58,373 Speaker 3: where we are at now. We have a massive health 723 00:53:58,493 --> 00:54:03,053 Speaker 3: crisis and the change is not going to come out 724 00:54:03,053 --> 00:54:09,413 Speaker 3: of the process of the judiciary. It's far more likely 725 00:54:09,613 --> 00:54:13,693 Speaker 3: to come out of the results of a health crisis. 726 00:54:14,013 --> 00:54:17,933 Speaker 3: And that's the Again, I come back to the experiment 727 00:54:18,053 --> 00:54:23,653 Speaker 3: by Thomas Coombs sighted the anomalous card experiment. People go 728 00:54:23,773 --> 00:54:26,813 Speaker 3: through a sort of crisis where they become worried. They're 729 00:54:26,813 --> 00:54:28,893 Speaker 3: seeing these cards and they're not sure of this and 730 00:54:28,933 --> 00:54:32,613 Speaker 3: what I'm not sure of that one. And then suddenly 731 00:54:32,693 --> 00:54:38,173 Speaker 3: there's a change. And when there's a huge change like that, 732 00:54:40,413 --> 00:54:45,693 Speaker 3: then you know, I can see massive social change rather 733 00:54:45,773 --> 00:54:52,893 Speaker 3: than specific court cases or legal I think you know 734 00:54:53,013 --> 00:54:55,493 Speaker 3: that what we're looking at here is the possibility of 735 00:54:55,573 --> 00:55:00,293 Speaker 3: a big awakening, and we're seeing signs of it already. 736 00:55:00,373 --> 00:55:03,413 Speaker 2: I think, I think you're right. Is Kennedy doing a 737 00:55:03,413 --> 00:55:03,893 Speaker 2: good job? 738 00:55:05,773 --> 00:55:11,013 Speaker 3: Yeah, well he's doing he's pushing pushing against the whole system, 739 00:55:11,493 --> 00:55:17,653 Speaker 3: and he's yeah, he's getting a massive amount of criticism, 740 00:55:18,053 --> 00:55:22,613 Speaker 3: but you know, he's pushing back and he's appointed some 741 00:55:22,693 --> 00:55:26,213 Speaker 3: people who are very well respected. 742 00:55:27,413 --> 00:55:30,893 Speaker 2: Doesn't does it? Does it occur? And or bother? You 743 00:55:31,213 --> 00:55:39,373 Speaker 2: that if there is a change of if there's a 744 00:55:39,453 --> 00:55:44,213 Speaker 2: change in the presidency at the next presidential election, to 745 00:55:44,333 --> 00:55:48,853 Speaker 2: the other side, I say, God forbid but if there 746 00:55:49,053 --> 00:55:52,093 Speaker 2: was that, all of this will very likely get reversed. 747 00:55:53,733 --> 00:55:59,093 Speaker 3: We're not going back to where we were before. I'm 748 00:55:59,173 --> 00:56:04,533 Speaker 3: seeing we may enter a crisis. I mean, we look 749 00:56:04,533 --> 00:56:06,893 Speaker 3: at what we've just been through in the last two weeks. 750 00:56:07,133 --> 00:56:11,493 Speaker 3: We we you know, we've we've seen a you know, 751 00:56:11,533 --> 00:56:13,693 Speaker 3: we've seen the world on a knife edge and the 752 00:56:13,773 --> 00:56:17,613 Speaker 3: kind of decision making that has had to go on 753 00:56:20,093 --> 00:56:23,893 Speaker 3: in the last two weeks to avoid a global crisis. 754 00:56:25,253 --> 00:56:28,613 Speaker 3: So I'm saying that, you know, if we lose that 755 00:56:28,653 --> 00:56:31,533 Speaker 3: capacity to deal with this, then we're going to get 756 00:56:31,533 --> 00:56:34,733 Speaker 3: a crisis, and change is going to be forced on 757 00:56:34,813 --> 00:56:39,773 Speaker 3: us one way or another. It's it's I mean, you know, 758 00:56:39,893 --> 00:56:42,453 Speaker 3: I can see running into the end of the decade, 759 00:56:42,493 --> 00:56:47,413 Speaker 3: looking at the health data running towards the end of 760 00:56:47,453 --> 00:56:53,373 Speaker 3: the decade, We're not just facing geopolitical crisis. We're facing 761 00:56:53,373 --> 00:56:57,093 Speaker 3: a health crisis that you know, could well turn into 762 00:56:57,493 --> 00:57:00,173 Speaker 3: something even worse than we're facing at the moment, and 763 00:57:00,253 --> 00:57:03,293 Speaker 3: it might force change on people. But coming out of 764 00:57:03,333 --> 00:57:07,693 Speaker 3: the other side of this, I'm kind of optimistic that 765 00:57:07,773 --> 00:57:09,693 Speaker 3: we're going to get out of the other side one 766 00:57:09,693 --> 00:57:12,813 Speaker 3: way or another, and we're going to have learned some 767 00:57:12,893 --> 00:57:15,133 Speaker 3: important lessons in the process. 768 00:57:14,933 --> 00:57:17,413 Speaker 2: And I can only hope, No, we can only hope 769 00:57:17,413 --> 00:57:22,093 Speaker 2: that you're correct. Let me ask you this question in finality, 770 00:57:23,133 --> 00:57:26,613 Speaker 2: out of what's on offer in the political world, is 771 00:57:26,693 --> 00:57:32,893 Speaker 2: there a structured government that you would like to see? 772 00:57:34,653 --> 00:57:38,413 Speaker 3: Yeah? Kind of million dollar question, isn't there? Who am 773 00:57:38,413 --> 00:57:41,053 Speaker 3: I going to vote for in the next election? And 774 00:57:42,813 --> 00:57:46,893 Speaker 3: I can't see anyone I'm keen to vote for. I 775 00:57:47,693 --> 00:57:52,333 Speaker 3: feel that we're kind of entering a different age really 776 00:57:52,373 --> 00:57:59,053 Speaker 3: where people have to be more responsible for themselves. And 777 00:57:59,133 --> 00:58:05,013 Speaker 3: that's you know, that process of self awakening or self 778 00:58:05,053 --> 00:58:10,213 Speaker 3: awareness is the threshold that we have, the political threshold 779 00:58:10,253 --> 00:58:13,813 Speaker 3: that we have to cross. But that's that's a very 780 00:58:13,853 --> 00:58:16,253 Speaker 3: abstract thing, isn't it. 781 00:58:16,293 --> 00:58:18,933 Speaker 2: But that's that's unlikely to happen unless there is a 782 00:58:18,933 --> 00:58:20,053 Speaker 2: crisis to trigger it. 783 00:58:21,573 --> 00:58:25,173 Speaker 3: Yeah. Probably. I mean, I'm realistic. How many people are 784 00:58:25,213 --> 00:58:28,533 Speaker 3: really going to be interested in in such kind of 785 00:58:28,653 --> 00:58:34,413 Speaker 3: abstract ideas. Look, we're changing with what we're facing is 786 00:58:34,493 --> 00:58:40,413 Speaker 3: really you know, a long history Western civilization has a 787 00:58:40,413 --> 00:58:46,573 Speaker 3: long history of war, conflict, distruction, and we've and the 788 00:58:46,733 --> 00:58:53,293 Speaker 3: destructive means, the destructive technologies have become so frightening that 789 00:58:53,973 --> 00:58:58,493 Speaker 3: we actually have to change and how that happens I 790 00:58:58,533 --> 00:59:02,853 Speaker 3: can't quite describe. I'm not a seer or but I 791 00:59:02,933 --> 00:59:04,493 Speaker 3: know that we have to change. 792 00:59:04,493 --> 00:59:10,733 Speaker 2: Well, change is caused by something, events, by a discovery, 793 00:59:10,853 --> 00:59:13,253 Speaker 2: by a necessity. 794 00:59:15,053 --> 00:59:19,173 Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's what you know. Harold McMillan, who was 795 00:59:19,293 --> 00:59:25,613 Speaker 3: Prime Minister of the UK with us once what's important 796 00:59:25,853 --> 00:59:30,613 Speaker 3: in politics? And he said, events, my dear boy. Events. 797 00:59:31,253 --> 00:59:33,853 Speaker 3: So you've hit the nail on the head, Laden. I 798 00:59:33,933 --> 00:59:38,653 Speaker 3: think there are a few events coming up, and I 799 00:59:38,693 --> 00:59:42,573 Speaker 3: think most people are aware there are some events, some 800 00:59:42,613 --> 00:59:47,173 Speaker 3: significant events that have yet to play out, and they're 801 00:59:47,213 --> 00:59:49,573 Speaker 3: going to have a big effect on our future. And 802 00:59:49,613 --> 00:59:53,733 Speaker 3: how we handle that is up to us. It's the 803 00:59:53,813 --> 00:59:57,413 Speaker 3: time to be more awake than we've been in the past. 804 00:59:57,613 --> 01:00:01,693 Speaker 2: Well, there's one one statement I'll make a finality, and 805 01:00:01,733 --> 01:00:05,973 Speaker 2: that is that the one thing that must never happen 806 01:00:06,293 --> 01:00:11,093 Speaker 2: is that we lose our personal sovereignty. Yeah, and there 807 01:00:11,733 --> 01:00:13,213 Speaker 2: are forces of foot that want to do that. 808 01:00:13,813 --> 01:00:19,293 Speaker 3: Yeah, but they're not going to win, that's my opinion. 809 01:00:19,613 --> 01:00:22,573 Speaker 2: What you mean, just did Sinda didn't get your guns? 810 01:00:24,493 --> 01:00:30,093 Speaker 3: Well? Yeah, God to Cinder to Cinda's history, now, isn't she? Well? 811 01:00:32,973 --> 01:00:37,933 Speaker 3: The book a book, the company Penguin that published a book, 812 01:00:37,973 --> 01:00:40,253 Speaker 3: thought they would sell one hundred and forty thousand copies. 813 01:00:40,333 --> 01:00:42,213 Speaker 3: It sold fourteen thousand copies. 814 01:00:42,573 --> 01:00:44,693 Speaker 2: Well, there was the number one best selling book this 815 01:00:44,773 --> 01:00:48,733 Speaker 2: week according to the Listener this week last week when 816 01:00:49,093 --> 01:00:52,173 Speaker 2: whenever it was I'm on release, I'm. 817 01:00:51,973 --> 01:00:55,733 Speaker 3: Going to be optimistic. I'm just going to be optimistic. 818 01:00:56,013 --> 01:01:01,693 Speaker 3: If we tap into who we are as human beings, 819 01:01:02,413 --> 01:01:05,893 Speaker 3: We're going to get through this. We're going and one 820 01:01:05,933 --> 01:01:10,093 Speaker 3: way or another, whether it's a a crisis that forces 821 01:01:10,093 --> 01:01:12,733 Speaker 3: it upon us, or whether we take our future into 822 01:01:12,813 --> 01:01:15,973 Speaker 3: our own hands, and we may have to go through 823 01:01:16,013 --> 01:01:21,013 Speaker 3: a lot. We may face things that we didn't expect 824 01:01:21,213 --> 01:01:24,693 Speaker 3: were going to happen and may be difficult, but we're 825 01:01:24,733 --> 01:01:26,093 Speaker 3: going to come out the other side. 826 01:01:26,573 --> 01:01:30,013 Speaker 2: And on that note, I'll say one more thing actually 827 01:01:31,253 --> 01:01:35,413 Speaker 2: that tack onto the personal sovereignty, the fact that the 828 01:01:35,493 --> 01:01:38,653 Speaker 2: science has never settled, and anybody who tells you it's 829 01:01:38,653 --> 01:01:43,773 Speaker 2: settled science is either ignorant or stupid or both. 830 01:01:44,693 --> 01:01:48,773 Speaker 3: You know, there's a level of the level of the mind. 831 01:01:48,293 --> 01:01:52,013 Speaker 3: You know it's truth itself. There's a level of the 832 01:01:52,093 --> 01:01:57,453 Speaker 3: mind universal consciousness, which is truth, which people throughout the 833 01:01:57,493 --> 01:02:02,413 Speaker 3: ages are recorded as experiencing self realization, if you like, 834 01:02:03,013 --> 01:02:07,133 Speaker 3: and that has arrived through the subjective means of gaining knowledge. 835 01:02:08,813 --> 01:02:13,213 Speaker 3: The world around us is constantly changing, and we're looking 836 01:02:13,253 --> 01:02:16,893 Speaker 3: at that with science through the objective means of gaining knowledge. 837 01:02:17,973 --> 01:02:20,733 Speaker 3: And so there's always going to be some doubt there 838 01:02:21,013 --> 01:02:27,933 Speaker 3: and some you know, changing circumstances. But the most settled 839 01:02:28,013 --> 01:02:33,893 Speaker 3: double of universal consciousness is non changing. It is truth itself. 840 01:02:34,213 --> 01:02:37,133 Speaker 3: And so this is the age old injunction. It was, 841 01:02:38,533 --> 01:02:40,733 Speaker 3: you know, the Kingdom of Heaven is within you or 842 01:02:41,333 --> 01:02:45,093 Speaker 3: it's there, and the punishads or in almost every tradition 843 01:02:45,213 --> 01:02:48,973 Speaker 3: of knowledge in the world that ultimately we have to 844 01:02:49,053 --> 01:02:49,853 Speaker 3: know ourselves. 845 01:02:50,933 --> 01:02:54,173 Speaker 2: That was my school one of my school's mottos, know thyself. 846 01:02:56,053 --> 01:02:59,093 Speaker 2: I do want to add one more thing, Yeah, that's 847 01:02:59,333 --> 01:03:02,973 Speaker 2: that's and it goes back to AI. I think AI 848 01:03:03,493 --> 01:03:07,453 Speaker 2: has value at a certain level or to a certain level. 849 01:03:07,773 --> 01:03:11,893 Speaker 2: It's an ounced what search engine? Would that be fair? 850 01:03:12,533 --> 01:03:14,773 Speaker 3: Do you know? I'm going to take the opposite view 851 01:03:14,973 --> 01:03:18,413 Speaker 3: here late and I just I just think it's a 852 01:03:19,093 --> 01:03:24,053 Speaker 3: it's a dead end if you give up thinking, you know, 853 01:03:24,173 --> 01:03:26,853 Speaker 3: after all, the whole thing is that is to let 854 01:03:26,893 --> 01:03:29,253 Speaker 3: someone else do the thinking for you that's danger. 855 01:03:29,853 --> 01:03:35,773 Speaker 2: But my wife used it only yesterday to because she's 856 01:03:35,813 --> 01:03:40,333 Speaker 2: intrigued with it to find out where I can take 857 01:03:40,413 --> 01:03:45,333 Speaker 2: my bootful of used print printer machinery to get rid 858 01:03:45,373 --> 01:03:47,333 Speaker 2: of it, because you can't put it in the rubbish pins. 859 01:03:47,373 --> 01:03:51,973 Speaker 2: I'm talking about printer, printer cartridges, et cetera. When they're dead. 860 01:03:52,413 --> 01:03:53,853 Speaker 2: You can't put it. You can't put it in the 861 01:03:53,933 --> 01:03:56,613 Speaker 2: rubbish bin. There used to be a place that I 862 01:03:56,653 --> 01:04:00,493 Speaker 2: took it in on the North Shore and that got 863 01:04:00,493 --> 01:04:05,613 Speaker 2: burnt down, hence the bootful. So she did a search, 864 01:04:06,773 --> 01:04:08,653 Speaker 2: came up with four places on the shore or that 865 01:04:08,773 --> 01:04:11,333 Speaker 2: I would never have even sort of, including a couple 866 01:04:11,333 --> 01:04:12,413 Speaker 2: of retail outlets. 867 01:04:12,733 --> 01:04:14,493 Speaker 3: That's a search engine function. 868 01:04:14,213 --> 01:04:15,973 Speaker 2: Exactly exactly my point. 869 01:04:16,973 --> 01:04:19,973 Speaker 3: I think search engines I use all the time, and I, 870 01:04:20,093 --> 01:04:23,173 Speaker 3: by the way, if I do a Google search, I 871 01:04:23,293 --> 01:04:29,133 Speaker 3: put that the first two words, I put scholarly article, 872 01:04:29,973 --> 01:04:33,853 Speaker 3: and then I put my question, and then it gives 873 01:04:33,853 --> 01:04:41,373 Speaker 3: you scientific references in reputable journals, and that that saves 874 01:04:41,413 --> 01:04:42,733 Speaker 3: me from a lot of rubbish. 875 01:04:43,213 --> 01:04:47,093 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Was that in a search engine or using AI. 876 01:04:47,853 --> 01:04:50,053 Speaker 3: In a search engine? I don't use AI. I use 877 01:04:50,133 --> 01:04:53,773 Speaker 3: search engines, but they're all AI driven. Now a search. 878 01:04:54,693 --> 01:04:58,733 Speaker 3: They've changed, you know, it has changed recently. So you 879 01:04:58,813 --> 01:05:02,533 Speaker 3: put that in scholarly article and then you get you 880 01:05:03,173 --> 01:05:06,173 Speaker 3: instead of getting some potted summary which may or may 881 01:05:06,213 --> 01:05:11,013 Speaker 3: not be true or right or accurate, you get referred 882 01:05:11,053 --> 01:05:15,333 Speaker 3: back to the original peer reviewed study. 883 01:05:15,773 --> 01:05:19,453 Speaker 2: Well, I've just written that down. So about a thousand 884 01:05:19,613 --> 01:05:25,693 Speaker 2: other people, well maybe maybe forty thousand other people. Anyways, 885 01:05:25,773 --> 01:05:29,413 Speaker 2: great helpful. Actually you've been very helpful. It's been a 886 01:05:29,493 --> 01:05:34,493 Speaker 2: very very pleasant discussion and we've covered a fairly broad base. 887 01:05:35,693 --> 01:05:39,933 Speaker 2: So once again, thank you, well, thank you late. 888 01:05:40,253 --> 01:05:44,533 Speaker 3: It's always a pleasure to talk with you.

I'm 903 01:06:51,533 --> 01:06:52,213 Speaker 2: very well, thank you. 904 01:06:52,293 --> 01:06:54,453 Speaker 4: We were just saying this morning, how lovely it was 905 01:06:54,533 --> 01:06:59,333 Speaker 4: to continually get such great mail. So please, folks, if 906 01:06:59,373 --> 01:07:03,013 Speaker 4: you feel like contributing, please just let us know. 907 01:07:03,093 --> 01:07:03,613 Speaker 3: We love it. 908 01:07:04,533 --> 01:07:06,093 Speaker 2: Indeed, especially you. 909 01:07:06,293 --> 01:07:08,333 Speaker 4: Well, you sit in a little studio for twenty four 910 01:07:08,373 --> 01:07:10,093 Speaker 4: hours a day, seven days a week, so to know 911 01:07:10,133 --> 01:07:11,933 Speaker 4: that somebody listening is rather lovely. 912 01:07:12,773 --> 01:07:16,773 Speaker 2: Fake not fake news. It might be close, but it's 913 01:07:16,853 --> 01:07:21,493 Speaker 2: not right from Adrian, who decided he was going to 914 01:07:21,493 --> 01:07:23,933 Speaker 2: get it on the mailroom early, and this was posted 915 01:07:24,013 --> 01:07:27,253 Speaker 2: the twenty seventh of June, which was probably the date 916 01:07:27,293 --> 01:07:31,333 Speaker 2: of the last one accout. Quite recall getting in early 917 01:07:31,373 --> 01:07:33,733 Speaker 2: on the mailroom, as I'm guessing you'll be covering this 918 01:07:33,973 --> 01:07:39,493 Speaker 2: in the upcoming episode. I'm old enough to remember listening 919 01:07:39,493 --> 01:07:43,613 Speaker 2: to your radio show, hearing your alarm when it looked 920 01:07:43,693 --> 01:07:47,293 Speaker 2: like a fresh faced socialist bartender was going to tip 921 01:07:47,333 --> 01:07:51,173 Speaker 2: out a long sitting New York congressman, And all these 922 01:07:51,253 --> 01:07:58,453 Speaker 2: years later, Alexandria occasional Cortex is now arguably the front 923 01:07:58,533 --> 01:08:03,013 Speaker 2: runner for the DNC twenty twenty eight presidential candidacy. What 924 01:08:03,053 --> 01:08:05,213 Speaker 2: are your thoughts on the upcoming mayoral race for New 925 01:08:05,293 --> 01:08:09,173 Speaker 2: York City and more importantly, how long until President Trump 926 01:08:09,293 --> 01:08:15,173 Speaker 2: coins the term zoron the moron? Well, I think that 927 01:08:15,293 --> 01:08:19,373 Speaker 2: might catch on, actually, So as to the last question 928 01:08:19,493 --> 01:08:23,293 Speaker 2: or questions, I'll say that Trump likes to be original, 929 01:08:23,333 --> 01:08:25,653 Speaker 2: So you've stolen zoron the moron, So we'll go somewhere 930 01:08:25,933 --> 01:08:28,333 Speaker 2: somewhere else for it. But as for other things, one 931 01:08:28,373 --> 01:08:30,453 Speaker 2: of my thoughts on the upcoming meroral race for New 932 01:08:30,533 --> 01:08:34,453 Speaker 2: York City if the moron gets in. If he does, 933 01:08:35,053 --> 01:08:38,893 Speaker 2: I just don't know how bad it can get, is 934 01:08:38,893 --> 01:08:41,533 Speaker 2: the way I'll leave it at this point. But there's 935 01:08:41,573 --> 01:08:42,733 Speaker 2: more coming up on that. 936 01:08:44,373 --> 01:08:48,053 Speaker 4: Paul says, good A Layton. I always enjoy some ramesh 937 01:08:48,093 --> 01:08:51,133 Speaker 4: the cur on your pod. I had my doubts about him, 938 01:08:51,133 --> 01:08:53,533 Speaker 4: considering he was part of the UN and has worked 939 01:08:53,533 --> 01:08:57,693 Speaker 4: in the disarmament area, but he speaks so much sense. Interestingly, 940 01:08:57,893 --> 01:09:00,693 Speaker 4: I believe the disarmament program at the UN is funded 941 01:09:00,733 --> 01:09:04,773 Speaker 4: by the Swiss, who steadfastly do not disarm. Clever Fellows 942 01:09:04,813 --> 01:09:08,173 Speaker 4: to get everyone else to disarm. I believe we, like 943 01:09:08,333 --> 01:09:10,893 Speaker 4: America and Switzerland, would be well served by a Second 944 01:09:10,933 --> 01:09:15,013 Speaker 4: Amendment style law. Here we are too small economically, geographically 945 01:09:15,093 --> 01:09:18,013 Speaker 4: and militarily to be defended by a modern land army. 946 01:09:18,173 --> 01:09:21,253 Speaker 4: But we'd look less easy prey if folks were armed here. 947 01:09:22,213 --> 01:09:24,373 Speaker 4: Next time you get a chance, can you ask Gramash 948 01:09:24,373 --> 01:09:28,853 Speaker 4: about his thoughts on civilian and or government disarmament. I'm 949 01:09:28,853 --> 01:09:31,653 Speaker 4: all for governments to disarm. They have done the vast 950 01:09:31,733 --> 01:09:33,653 Speaker 4: bulk of the killing in history. 951 01:09:34,013 --> 01:09:39,293 Speaker 2: Well we're together on that one pretty much. But you actually, well, 952 01:09:39,493 --> 01:09:44,093 Speaker 2: Carolyn was reading that, I just quickly had a think 953 01:09:44,573 --> 01:09:47,573 Speaker 2: out of all the interviews that I've done with a 954 01:09:47,653 --> 01:09:51,613 Speaker 2: multitude of people over what is nearly seven years now, 955 01:09:52,053 --> 01:09:54,493 Speaker 2: if I was going to draw up a list of 956 01:09:55,373 --> 01:10:01,493 Speaker 2: the top ten, I'd struggle. I'd struggle because there's more 957 01:10:01,533 --> 01:10:03,333 Speaker 2: than that. There's more than ten to be in the 958 01:10:03,333 --> 01:10:06,813 Speaker 2: top ten, and i'd probably make it about twenty or 959 01:10:06,813 --> 01:10:09,733 Speaker 2: something along those lines. If I was going to have 960 01:10:09,853 --> 01:10:14,173 Speaker 2: to do it for whatever reason, Ramesh would be in 961 01:10:14,213 --> 01:10:19,653 Speaker 2: the top three. So again from Mike, Ramesh was outstanding 962 01:10:19,693 --> 01:10:23,413 Speaker 2: as usual in two ninety Just as a matter of interest, 963 01:10:23,493 --> 01:10:28,013 Speaker 2: I wonder if you've heard of two CTV. Well, I 964 01:10:28,093 --> 01:10:35,333 Speaker 2: haven't and I don't toc Tousi TV www dot twoc 965 01:10:35,453 --> 01:10:40,173 Speaker 2: dot TV. Tuc is of Iranian descent and lives in London. 966 01:10:40,213 --> 01:10:44,693 Speaker 2: His father is still in Tehran. Tuc is a genuine conservative. 967 01:10:45,253 --> 01:10:49,333 Speaker 2: His TV channel on YouTube covers news, often within minutes 968 01:10:49,333 --> 01:10:52,613 Speaker 2: of incidents occurring around the world. He has people on 969 01:10:52,653 --> 01:10:56,773 Speaker 2: the ground in many countries who frequently provide short video 970 01:10:56,853 --> 01:11:00,693 Speaker 2: clips of incidents which have just occurred. His coverage of 971 01:11:00,693 --> 01:11:04,773 Speaker 2: the Israeli Iran conflict has been very good. Why I'm 972 01:11:04,853 --> 01:11:09,253 Speaker 2: telling you this is that on auguston he will be 973 01:11:09,333 --> 01:11:13,413 Speaker 2: launching his new TV channel in London. He's been frustrated 974 01:11:13,573 --> 01:11:17,413 Speaker 2: but the conservative media doesn't have a united voice, so 975 01:11:17,533 --> 01:11:21,693 Speaker 2: he has gathered a huge number of podcasters and qualified 976 01:11:21,773 --> 01:11:25,053 Speaker 2: journalists all over the world who will be contributing with 977 01:11:25,253 --> 01:11:29,573 Speaker 2: fact checked and first off the rank News. I'm really 978 01:11:29,613 --> 01:11:32,693 Speaker 2: hoping that this will be a success, so we will 979 01:11:32,733 --> 01:11:35,933 Speaker 2: have an alternative to the twisted and fake news from 980 01:11:35,973 --> 01:11:38,973 Speaker 2: the legacy media. Nine August is going to be a 981 01:11:38,973 --> 01:11:41,813 Speaker 2: big event. I believe that all the tickets for the 982 01:11:41,853 --> 01:11:45,853 Speaker 2: opening conference have been sold out, so that's encouraging. Thank 983 01:11:45,933 --> 01:11:49,093 Speaker 2: you for the incredible work which you do. Thy kind 984 01:11:49,133 --> 01:11:52,093 Speaker 2: of you, Michael, and I appreciate it. Thank you. And 985 01:11:52,133 --> 01:11:55,013 Speaker 2: here's the rub. I hadn't heard of him. I hadn't 986 01:11:55,053 --> 01:11:57,653 Speaker 2: heard of his TV or any other aspect of it. 987 01:11:57,693 --> 01:12:00,973 Speaker 2: You introduced me to it, so I shall chase it down. 988 01:12:01,653 --> 01:12:05,653 Speaker 2: And as we're going to be in London on not 989 01:12:05,693 --> 01:12:09,293 Speaker 2: on August nine, but on both sides, I mean eight 990 01:12:09,373 --> 01:12:12,693 Speaker 2: and ten, I mean we're coming and going, I just 991 01:12:12,813 --> 01:12:15,373 Speaker 2: might take a chance and see if I can contact 992 01:12:15,373 --> 01:12:16,253 Speaker 2: this guy well. 993 01:12:16,293 --> 01:12:19,533 Speaker 4: Of that leaden Jin says, it's fascinating to see how 994 01:12:19,613 --> 01:12:23,053 Speaker 4: conflict in the Middle East has polarized past allies on 995 01:12:23,093 --> 01:12:26,853 Speaker 4: the center right of the debate Candice Owens versus Ben Shapiro, 996 01:12:27,093 --> 01:12:31,093 Speaker 4: Ted Cruz versus Tucker Carlson, Douglas Murray versus Dave Smith. 997 01:12:31,613 --> 01:12:34,253 Speaker 4: This healthy tension is a good sign that the center 998 01:12:34,333 --> 01:12:38,533 Speaker 4: right is always prepared to think and debate ideas amongst themselves. 999 01:12:39,213 --> 01:12:41,893 Speaker 4: On the other hand, literally all those on the left 1000 01:12:41,973 --> 01:12:46,453 Speaker 4: continue to blindly support Palestinian and Iranian regimes. In a 1001 01:12:46,493 --> 01:12:51,413 Speaker 4: recent podcast, Piers Morgan interviewed doctor Foward Izadi, professor of 1002 01:12:51,453 --> 01:12:54,893 Speaker 4: World politics at Tehran University, who said that he was 1003 01:12:54,933 --> 01:12:57,933 Speaker 4: proud of what hermas did on October the seventh, and 1004 01:12:58,013 --> 01:13:00,253 Speaker 4: yet just a few weeks ago I witnessed a Free 1005 01:13:00,253 --> 01:13:05,413 Speaker 4: Palestine protest march in Henderson supporting this kind of regime thankfully. 1006 01:13:05,413 --> 01:13:10,253 Speaker 4: In your recent podcast, Ramesh the Kur highlighted three MythBusters 1007 01:13:10,293 --> 01:13:13,333 Speaker 4: which brought a level of clarity that cuts through the 1008 01:13:13,413 --> 01:13:17,813 Speaker 4: crap of first world rhetoric and virtue signaling. Firstly, uranium 1009 01:13:17,853 --> 01:13:21,653 Speaker 4: and Richmond passed twenty percent, have passed literally all technical 1010 01:13:21,733 --> 01:13:25,493 Speaker 4: challenges to push it to weapons grade quality. Secondly, a 1011 01:13:25,533 --> 01:13:28,453 Speaker 4: two state solution is a fact denying approach, because you 1012 01:13:28,493 --> 01:13:30,973 Speaker 4: can't possibly live next door to somebody who voils to 1013 01:13:31,053 --> 01:13:34,693 Speaker 4: kill you. Thirdly, the seventh of October massacre is a 1014 01:13:34,733 --> 01:13:39,093 Speaker 4: milli holocaust, the Israeli equivalent of all American casualties suffered 1015 01:13:39,133 --> 01:13:44,293 Speaker 4: in one day. The UN Nuclear watchdog's chief warned that 1016 01:13:44,333 --> 01:13:48,253 Speaker 4: Iran was not far from possessing a nuclear bomb. The 1017 01:13:48,293 --> 01:13:53,253 Speaker 4: Times of David Horovitz reported that Israel had to therefore 1018 01:13:53,413 --> 01:13:56,253 Speaker 4: go to war to save itself. In his article, this 1019 01:13:56,413 --> 01:13:59,053 Speaker 4: was how close it came and how it saved itself, 1020 01:13:59,853 --> 01:14:03,053 Speaker 4: said David Horovitz. It's easy for those of us living 1021 01:14:03,093 --> 01:14:05,693 Speaker 4: in peace to a pine about whether Israel was right 1022 01:14:05,813 --> 01:14:08,093 Speaker 4: or wrong. But wouldn't we do the same if we 1023 01:14:08,133 --> 01:14:10,333 Speaker 4: live next to those who vowed to kill us every 1024 01:14:10,373 --> 01:14:10,933 Speaker 4: single day. 1025 01:14:12,133 --> 01:14:15,533 Speaker 2: It's very sad thinking going on over all of this, 1026 01:14:17,453 --> 01:14:20,733 Speaker 2: and sometimes it gets very vicious. That was a good, 1027 01:14:20,933 --> 01:14:26,573 Speaker 2: good letter. Let me go back to was it last week? 1028 01:14:26,613 --> 01:14:30,893 Speaker 2: I think? And I mentioned something to Allison who had 1029 01:14:31,253 --> 01:14:35,213 Speaker 2: who had written a letter, And I said, Allison, I 1030 01:14:35,933 --> 01:14:38,733 Speaker 2: have yet to consider it, and I'll see about next week. Well, 1031 01:14:38,853 --> 01:14:44,693 Speaker 2: this is next week, and here is your letter, Oh, Laton, 1032 01:14:45,653 --> 01:14:49,973 Speaker 2: What was all that about? George Friedman maintained more than 1033 01:14:49,973 --> 01:14:52,693 Speaker 2: once that the Palace that the president did not have 1034 01:14:52,733 --> 01:14:57,373 Speaker 2: a job. Really, Friedman said that all presidents just see 1035 01:14:57,413 --> 01:15:01,293 Speaker 2: reality and respond to it. How simplistic. And that is 1036 01:15:01,333 --> 01:15:04,653 Speaker 2: true on a basic level, just as it is a 1037 01:15:04,693 --> 01:15:07,773 Speaker 2: couple of toddlers in the paper. That is true on 1038 01:15:07,813 --> 01:15:10,693 Speaker 2: a basic l level, just as it is of a 1039 01:15:10,813 --> 01:15:14,853 Speaker 2: couple of toddlers in the playground. But what failed, but 1040 01:15:14,973 --> 01:15:18,413 Speaker 2: what he failed to point out, was how entirely different 1041 01:15:18,453 --> 01:15:22,173 Speaker 2: the results can be from one president to another. Now 1042 01:15:22,213 --> 01:15:27,973 Speaker 2: remember that part. Take Churchill and Stalin false aside, the 1043 01:15:28,013 --> 01:15:31,213 Speaker 2: outcome for their respective subjects was widely removed from the other. 1044 01:15:31,893 --> 01:15:35,293 Speaker 2: All presidents and prime ministers will not merely see reality 1045 01:15:35,333 --> 01:15:38,453 Speaker 2: and react to it, As Freeman says, they are not 1046 01:15:38,733 --> 01:15:43,493 Speaker 2: pre programmed robots. Whether one is Democrat or Republican. It's 1047 01:15:43,493 --> 01:15:46,253 Speaker 2: hard to imagine Biden, for example, doing any of the 1048 01:15:46,293 --> 01:15:49,173 Speaker 2: things which Trump is doing to meet the present reality 1049 01:15:49,533 --> 01:15:53,013 Speaker 2: at home or abroad. It is not the reality which 1050 01:15:53,053 --> 01:15:56,213 Speaker 2: makes a president do what we see him doing. It 1051 01:15:56,333 --> 01:16:01,133 Speaker 2: is a comprehension of issues at stake which makes him 1052 01:16:01,213 --> 01:16:05,053 Speaker 2: act as he does. Each man has a worldview or 1053 01:16:05,093 --> 01:16:08,293 Speaker 2: an ideology, and depended on what that is, and an 1054 01:16:08,453 --> 01:16:12,693 Speaker 2: entirely different outcome can eventually or eventuate from one leader 1055 01:16:12,773 --> 01:16:17,293 Speaker 2: to another. The Left is often not able to comprehend 1056 01:16:17,333 --> 01:16:20,493 Speaker 2: the actual reality of events and what they will lead to, 1057 01:16:21,013 --> 01:16:24,253 Speaker 2: so their leaders invert the facts, which is why we 1058 01:16:24,293 --> 01:16:27,173 Speaker 2: see some serious effects played out in some of the 1059 01:16:27,333 --> 01:16:31,813 Speaker 2: Democrat states. Plenty of examples. For instance, if a president 1060 01:16:31,893 --> 01:16:35,533 Speaker 2: believes that a man can in fact be a woman, 1061 01:16:36,293 --> 01:16:40,573 Speaker 2: which biology negates, and reality as he sees it, it 1062 01:16:40,613 --> 01:16:44,053 Speaker 2: will be warped and will fail to provide a foundation 1063 01:16:44,213 --> 01:16:47,733 Speaker 2: of truths in the real world, leading to injustices in 1064 01:16:47,853 --> 01:16:51,533 Speaker 2: daily life, which is exactly what we see happening in 1065 01:16:51,573 --> 01:16:54,893 Speaker 2: the Western world. In that case, their response to the 1066 01:16:54,893 --> 01:16:57,573 Speaker 2: reality before them will be different from that of a 1067 01:16:57,613 --> 01:17:02,293 Speaker 2: man of insight and understanding who can see reality as 1068 01:17:02,293 --> 01:17:06,253 Speaker 2: it is for though, for in the final analysis, truth 1069 01:17:06,453 --> 01:17:10,253 Speaker 2: is unbendable and immove and a leader must find the 1070 01:17:10,333 --> 01:17:13,133 Speaker 2: right way to negotiate the difficulties for the good of 1071 01:17:13,133 --> 01:17:16,933 Speaker 2: his people. It will not just happen because he is president, 1072 01:17:17,973 --> 01:17:21,293 Speaker 2: and there were other incongruities in his way of thinking too. 1073 01:17:21,893 --> 01:17:25,773 Speaker 2: This time it was a slightly odd interview to sit out, 1074 01:17:26,133 --> 01:17:29,093 Speaker 2: keep on asking the important questions and thank you again 1075 01:17:29,133 --> 01:17:34,453 Speaker 2: for your podcast. Look, Allison, I could sit here for 1076 01:17:34,453 --> 01:17:36,973 Speaker 2: the next ten minutes and relate to your conversations I've 1077 01:17:36,973 --> 01:17:40,733 Speaker 2: had with George over the years and how we disagree 1078 01:17:40,733 --> 01:17:43,613 Speaker 2: on things and what have you. I said, remember that 1079 01:17:43,893 --> 01:17:47,773 Speaker 2: the bottom of your first paragraph, what he failed to 1080 01:17:47,773 --> 01:17:50,293 Speaker 2: point out was how entirely different the result can be 1081 01:17:50,373 --> 01:17:54,373 Speaker 2: one president to another. I have see he has claimed 1082 01:17:54,413 --> 01:17:59,053 Speaker 2: all along and believes that the president, whoever the president is, 1083 01:17:59,653 --> 01:18:02,933 Speaker 2: doesn't have that much power, and he's right on that. 1084 01:18:03,493 --> 01:18:06,613 Speaker 2: My counter has always been almost along the lines of 1085 01:18:06,693 --> 01:18:11,453 Speaker 2: you of what you've said that it's the influence that 1086 01:18:11,533 --> 01:18:14,413 Speaker 2: a president has that comes from he's in a being, 1087 01:18:14,773 --> 01:18:17,533 Speaker 2: not in the not in the prescription for the job, 1088 01:18:17,813 --> 01:18:23,653 Speaker 2: but in his inner being. But what I'm what I'm 1089 01:18:23,693 --> 01:18:27,693 Speaker 2: actually trying to say is that one it's a matter 1090 01:18:27,733 --> 01:18:31,213 Speaker 2: of persuasion, and some people have the gift of it, 1091 01:18:31,413 --> 01:18:38,573 Speaker 2: like Trump, he is incredible, someone like Biden, someone like 1092 01:18:38,973 --> 01:18:40,973 Speaker 2: the guy before him who was going to be the 1093 01:18:41,013 --> 01:18:43,893 Speaker 2: greatest president in all time when he was when he 1094 01:18:43,933 --> 01:18:47,693 Speaker 2: was elected. Trump is out trumped a lot of them anyway. 1095 01:18:48,213 --> 01:18:52,053 Speaker 4: Leyton Paul says, as an avid follower of geopolitical events, 1096 01:18:52,213 --> 01:18:56,013 Speaker 4: a subscriber to Geopolitical Futures, and a devoted listener of 1097 01:18:56,093 --> 01:18:59,373 Speaker 4: your podcast, I thank you for the last three podcasts 1098 01:18:59,413 --> 01:19:02,093 Speaker 4: which covered off and added to my understanding of the 1099 01:19:02,133 --> 01:19:06,333 Speaker 4: current global turmoil. Every single podcast over the years has 1100 01:19:06,333 --> 01:19:09,453 Speaker 4: been of great interest to me. The last three were 1101 01:19:09,493 --> 01:19:12,733 Speaker 4: of immense interest. I would also like to express my 1102 01:19:12,893 --> 01:19:16,653 Speaker 4: huge admiration for Rameshtha Kur. He has an intense intellect. 1103 01:19:17,533 --> 01:19:20,173 Speaker 4: As usual, George is the best of all time, and 1104 01:19:20,213 --> 01:19:24,013 Speaker 4: Antonia has been helpful in pointing the realities of Europe. 1105 01:19:24,013 --> 01:19:26,493 Speaker 4: For many years, as I have followed her from the 1106 01:19:26,533 --> 01:19:27,413 Speaker 4: days of Stratford. 1107 01:19:27,693 --> 01:19:32,653 Speaker 2: That's from Paul Yea. Antonio covered the Romanian scene specifically, 1108 01:19:32,733 --> 01:19:35,013 Speaker 2: and she was very good. And I've had I've had 1109 01:19:35,053 --> 01:19:37,493 Speaker 2: more people stopping in the street and say how good 1110 01:19:37,533 --> 01:19:41,493 Speaker 2: that was than I had mail on it. This is 1111 01:19:41,533 --> 01:19:44,573 Speaker 2: from the same Paul, but it's dated eleven May, and 1112 01:19:44,653 --> 01:19:46,853 Speaker 2: I came across it during the week and I thought, 1113 01:19:47,133 --> 01:19:51,013 Speaker 2: I don't think I've read that on air. If I have, 1114 01:19:51,653 --> 01:19:56,053 Speaker 2: and you remember, don't tell me. I don't need to know. However, 1115 01:19:56,053 --> 01:19:57,973 Speaker 2: this is what he said high lighton This is one 1116 01:19:57,973 --> 01:20:00,973 Speaker 2: of the most critical speechies of my lifetime. After watching it, 1117 01:20:01,053 --> 01:20:04,093 Speaker 2: I sat and thought hard about where my motivation and 1118 01:20:04,133 --> 01:20:08,013 Speaker 2: passion for monitoring such events originated. For years and years, 1119 01:20:08,093 --> 01:20:11,133 Speaker 2: I've the planes flew into the buildings. I would never repeat, 1120 01:20:11,293 --> 01:20:14,213 Speaker 2: never miss a Layton Smith's talkback show or skip a 1121 01:20:14,293 --> 01:20:19,093 Speaker 2: Layton Smith podcast. The mindset that forms as a result 1122 01:20:19,173 --> 01:20:22,173 Speaker 2: of investing so much time and passion in monitoring your 1123 01:20:22,213 --> 01:20:25,893 Speaker 2: work is chiefly about freedom, and that is where a 1124 01:20:25,893 --> 01:20:29,453 Speaker 2: lot of my motivation came from. I attach a link 1125 01:20:29,613 --> 01:20:34,093 Speaker 2: to Stephen K. Bannon's speech to Hillsdale College thank you 1126 01:20:34,453 --> 01:20:38,053 Speaker 2: and missus producer for pointing out what matters if you 1127 01:20:38,173 --> 01:20:41,813 Speaker 2: have time, Bannon's speech is worth the effort. You guys 1128 01:20:42,013 --> 01:20:45,613 Speaker 2: are the best. Now I want to add to that, 1129 01:20:46,653 --> 01:20:50,013 Speaker 2: because missus producer, why don't you read the last one 1130 01:20:50,013 --> 01:20:53,053 Speaker 2: that you've got, and then I'll go into this little steel. 1131 01:20:53,733 --> 01:20:55,853 Speaker 4: This is from Penny. I know I haven't written for 1132 01:20:55,893 --> 01:20:58,293 Speaker 4: a while, but I've also never missed an episode of 1133 01:20:58,333 --> 01:21:01,533 Speaker 4: your wonderful podcasts, and my eldest son is following you 1134 01:21:01,613 --> 01:21:05,213 Speaker 4: now as well. I was prompted by your podcast featuring 1135 01:21:05,253 --> 01:21:09,773 Speaker 4: Antonia Colabassa and your mention of Charles King's marvelous book 1136 01:21:09,813 --> 01:21:13,133 Speaker 4: on Odessa, which I bought years ago upon your recommendation. 1137 01:21:13,493 --> 01:21:15,893 Speaker 4: I thought she was terrific, and as she spoke of 1138 01:21:15,893 --> 01:21:20,053 Speaker 4: the difficulties facing a country previously mired in corruption and, 1139 01:21:20,133 --> 01:21:23,653 Speaker 4: let's face it, evil, I remembered reading that Romania was 1140 01:21:23,693 --> 01:21:26,773 Speaker 4: solely responsible for the Holocaust in Odessa and was the 1141 01:21:26,853 --> 01:21:30,773 Speaker 4: only country during the Second World War besides Nazi Germany 1142 01:21:31,093 --> 01:21:35,733 Speaker 4: to administer a major Soviet city. Parts of that fabulous 1143 01:21:35,773 --> 01:21:39,053 Speaker 4: book make for a very hard read. Thank you, once again, 1144 01:21:39,133 --> 01:21:43,213 Speaker 4: Laden for continually bringing to our attention such important historical 1145 01:21:43,333 --> 01:21:44,613 Speaker 4: and current matters. 1146 01:21:44,613 --> 01:21:45,373 Speaker 3: And that's from Penny. 1147 01:21:45,533 --> 01:21:49,813 Speaker 2: Penny. I got to say that your letter is something 1148 01:21:49,853 --> 01:21:52,533 Speaker 2: that I treasure. Your style of letter is something that 1149 01:21:52,573 --> 01:21:55,973 Speaker 2: I treasure. Your interest in the same things I treasure. 1150 01:21:56,653 --> 01:21:59,133 Speaker 2: If I may, you may so, I could go on 1151 01:21:59,173 --> 01:22:01,773 Speaker 2: and build a treasure chest. But let me return to 1152 01:22:02,693 --> 01:22:05,773 Speaker 2: Let me return to Paul's letter. One of the most 1153 01:22:05,773 --> 01:22:09,853 Speaker 2: critical speeches of my lifetime. He was talking about Trump. 1154 01:22:09,853 --> 01:22:13,173 Speaker 2: Of course, the comment that you made about Stephen Bannon 1155 01:22:14,693 --> 01:22:19,853 Speaker 2: is intriguing in the light of what's been going down 1156 01:22:20,173 --> 01:22:25,373 Speaker 2: of late. There is great friction between different parts of 1157 01:22:25,533 --> 01:22:31,653 Speaker 2: the different quarters of the Republicans of Marga Maga, marga whatever, 1158 01:22:32,733 --> 01:22:36,533 Speaker 2: and they are at loggerheads, and they're ripping each other apart. 1159 01:22:37,253 --> 01:22:41,493 Speaker 2: Example one, and the only one I'll give is someone 1160 01:22:41,533 --> 01:22:45,213 Speaker 2: I've admired and have learned a hell of a lot from, 1161 01:22:45,213 --> 01:22:49,293 Speaker 2: particularly with regard to the Constitution, Mark Levin. He was 1162 01:22:49,533 --> 01:22:54,133 Speaker 2: shredding Stephen Bannon just last week, along with a bunch 1163 01:22:54,173 --> 01:23:01,573 Speaker 2: of others like Tucker Carlson. And I listened carefully, because 1164 01:23:01,613 --> 01:23:03,813 Speaker 2: he did more than once on more than one day, 1165 01:23:04,253 --> 01:23:08,133 Speaker 2: And I listened carefully, and I analyzed what he was 1166 01:23:08,133 --> 01:23:10,373 Speaker 2: saying and why he was saying it and whether it 1167 01:23:10,453 --> 01:23:12,213 Speaker 2: was true or not. And there was a certain amount 1168 01:23:12,213 --> 01:23:14,933 Speaker 2: of truth in it, but I still thought that he 1169 01:23:16,093 --> 01:23:19,813 Speaker 2: had misdirected his thoughts, which is something he doesn't do. 1170 01:23:20,053 --> 01:23:23,653 Speaker 2: Let me tell you something he doesn't do. But it 1171 01:23:24,333 --> 01:23:27,373 Speaker 2: was an example of the viciousness that exists at the moment. 1172 01:23:29,453 --> 01:23:31,453 Speaker 2: And if you get a chance and you can find 1173 01:23:31,453 --> 01:23:33,853 Speaker 2: it and go back and have a listen, this is producer, 1174 01:23:33,893 --> 01:23:53,213 Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you later three weeks today, exciting it. Now, 1175 01:23:53,213 --> 01:23:55,973 Speaker 2: if this podcast isn't long enough, I'm about to extend 1176 01:23:56,053 --> 01:23:59,213 Speaker 2: this with a couple of a couple of articles, a 1177 01:23:59,253 --> 01:24:03,333 Speaker 2: couple of pieces that may spook you, and don't be 1178 01:24:03,373 --> 01:24:07,773 Speaker 2: surprised if they do. Picture a dystopian future where computers 1179 01:24:08,013 --> 01:24:12,533 Speaker 2: don't just mimic human thinking, they're powered by actual human 1180 01:24:12,573 --> 01:24:16,053 Speaker 2: brain cells. That future is taking shape in a Cambridge, 1181 01:24:16,053 --> 01:24:20,773 Speaker 2: England lab where a groundbreaking device called cl One is 1182 01:24:21,013 --> 01:24:25,053 Speaker 2: blending biology and technology in ways that could transform how 1183 01:24:25,053 --> 01:24:28,853 Speaker 2: we compute. Developed by austraight and start up Cortical Labs 1184 01:24:29,093 --> 01:24:34,093 Speaker 2: and UK based bit Bio, this shoe boxized machine houses 1185 01:24:34,173 --> 01:24:38,373 Speaker 2: two hundred thousand lab grown brain cells wired to silicon 1186 01:24:38,453 --> 01:24:43,933 Speaker 2: circuits creating a biological computer that's already turning heads. Unlike 1187 01:24:44,053 --> 01:24:48,013 Speaker 2: traditional computers, which guzzle energy, cl One operates with the 1188 01:24:48,013 --> 01:24:52,613 Speaker 2: efficiency of a human brain quote. Our brains process information 1189 01:24:53,253 --> 01:24:56,173 Speaker 2: using a fraction of the power that modern electronics need. 1190 01:24:56,533 --> 01:25:00,733 Speaker 2: According to Hon Wang Chong, CEO of Cortical Labs, and 1191 01:25:01,213 --> 01:25:05,573 Speaker 2: a communication with the Financial Times, this could open doors 1192 01:25:05,653 --> 01:25:11,613 Speaker 2: to smarter robots, stronger cybers security, and immersive virtual worlds. 1193 01:25:12,093 --> 01:25:16,933 Speaker 2: Understand oh Joy. Low energy computing has fueled a race 1194 01:25:16,973 --> 01:25:22,373 Speaker 2: to develop biological systems, with Cortical Labs leading alongside competitors 1195 01:25:22,653 --> 01:25:27,493 Speaker 2: like Final Spark in Switzerland and Biological black Box in 1196 01:25:27,613 --> 01:25:31,773 Speaker 2: the US. Cl One's brain cells, grown from human skin 1197 01:25:31,893 --> 01:25:36,573 Speaker 2: derived stem cells are carefully arranged in layers. One type 1198 01:25:36,653 --> 01:25:41,733 Speaker 2: spark's electrical activity while another keeps it in check quote again, 1199 01:25:42,173 --> 01:25:46,093 Speaker 2: It's like balancing a gas pedal and breaks. Chong explains. 1200 01:25:46,373 --> 01:25:48,973 Speaker 2: The result is a platform for testing how brain cells 1201 01:25:48,973 --> 01:25:54,813 Speaker 2: handle information, with early experiments already yielding insights for neuroscience 1202 01:25:55,013 --> 01:25:56,053 Speaker 2: and drug development. 1203 01:25:56,653 --> 01:25:56,813 Speaker 3: Now. 1204 01:25:56,813 --> 01:26:01,693 Speaker 2: One of cl One's quirkiest feats playing the classic video 1205 01:26:01,773 --> 01:26:07,053 Speaker 2: game Pong. Its predecessor, Dishbrain, learned to move a virtual 1206 01:26:07,213 --> 01:26:13,573 Speaker 2: paddle by receiving electrical rewards for good moves and disruptive 1207 01:26:13,693 --> 01:26:17,093 Speaker 2: noise for mistakes. See all one has taken this further 1208 01:26:17,573 --> 01:26:23,733 Speaker 2: revealing how substances like alcohol impair performance, or how epilepsy 1209 01:26:23,813 --> 01:26:27,733 Speaker 2: drugs like carbo mazophin boost it. We're learning how to 1210 01:26:27,933 --> 01:26:30,933 Speaker 2: program these cells, Chong says, noting that his team is 1211 01:26:30,973 --> 01:26:34,973 Speaker 2: even teaching them to recognize numbers, like distinguishing a nine 1212 01:26:35,013 --> 01:26:38,573 Speaker 2: from before. This is the first device that can consistently 1213 01:26:38,853 --> 01:26:42,933 Speaker 2: measure what neurons can do, says Mark Cotter, a Cambridge 1214 01:26:42,933 --> 01:26:48,413 Speaker 2: professor and bit bio founder. Carl Fristen, a neuroscientist at 1215 01:26:48,773 --> 01:26:53,973 Speaker 2: University Cottage, London, sees it as a tool for groundbreaking experiments, 1216 01:26:54,053 --> 01:26:59,293 Speaker 2: while John Hopkins Thomas Hartung praises its use for games 1217 01:26:59,413 --> 01:27:05,973 Speaker 2: like Pong to benchmark biological computing. Chong recognizes the ethical challenges. 1218 01:27:06,173 --> 01:27:09,893 Speaker 2: I hope so, but it won't make any difference. Chong 1219 01:27:10,053 --> 01:27:14,693 Speaker 2: recognizes the ethical challenges that could emerge if biological computers 1220 01:27:14,693 --> 01:27:20,053 Speaker 2: and neuron cultures begin to show early signs of consciousness. 1221 01:27:20,453 --> 01:27:25,333 Speaker 2: These systems are sentient because they respond to stimuli and 1222 01:27:25,453 --> 01:27:28,773 Speaker 2: learn from them, but they are not conscious. We'll learn 1223 01:27:28,853 --> 01:27:31,893 Speaker 2: more about how the human brain works. But we will not. 1224 01:27:32,333 --> 01:27:34,573 Speaker 2: But we do not intend to create a brain in 1225 01:27:34,613 --> 01:27:39,493 Speaker 2: a vat. The cl one unit are slated to retail 1226 01:27:39,693 --> 01:27:43,293 Speaker 2: for around thirty five thousand dollars each and are expected 1227 01:27:43,333 --> 01:27:46,933 Speaker 2: to be broadly available by late twenty five. Now this 1228 01:27:48,253 --> 01:27:52,773 Speaker 2: shall we say denial if you want of not intending 1229 01:27:52,813 --> 01:27:55,773 Speaker 2: to create a brain in a vat will have a 1230 01:27:55,893 --> 01:28:00,493 Speaker 2: very short lived existence in my humble opinion. And by 1231 01:28:00,533 --> 01:28:03,333 Speaker 2: the way, the title of that was meet the dystopian 1232 01:28:03,453 --> 01:28:08,293 Speaker 2: startups making biological computers from human cells. Now that didn't 1233 01:28:08,333 --> 01:28:14,173 Speaker 2: it affect you in any well concerning way, Maybe this 1234 01:28:14,213 --> 01:28:20,133 Speaker 2: one will. Peter Teal we all know who. Peter Teel is, billionaire, 1235 01:28:20,853 --> 01:28:23,693 Speaker 2: multi billionaire. Wanted to live in New Zealand, remember in 1236 01:28:23,733 --> 01:28:26,213 Speaker 2: the South Island, wanted to do all sorts of things 1237 01:28:26,253 --> 01:28:31,853 Speaker 2: like burying a bomb shelter under sacred soil or something 1238 01:28:31,933 --> 01:28:35,893 Speaker 2: like that. Because he pulled out because he decided that 1239 01:28:35,973 --> 01:28:40,133 Speaker 2: New Zealand was far too difficult to deal with. At 1240 01:28:40,213 --> 01:28:44,293 Speaker 2: least you got something right now, Peter Teel warns in 1241 01:28:44,333 --> 01:28:48,853 Speaker 2: a wide ranging interview on the future and global existential risks. 1242 01:28:49,293 --> 01:28:53,773 Speaker 2: A billionaire technology investor, Peter Teel raised alarms not only 1243 01:28:53,853 --> 01:28:58,653 Speaker 2: about familiar threats like nuclear war, climate change, and artificial intelligence, 1244 01:28:58,693 --> 01:29:03,093 Speaker 2: but also about what he sees as a more insidious danger, 1245 01:29:04,093 --> 01:29:08,253 Speaker 2: the rise of a one world totalitarian state. Speaking to 1246 01:29:08,453 --> 01:29:13,573 Speaker 2: The New York Times, Ross Douhab, Teel argued that the 1247 01:29:14,253 --> 01:29:20,813 Speaker 2: default political response to global crises, centralized supranational governance, could 1248 01:29:20,853 --> 01:29:26,053 Speaker 2: plunge humanity into authoritarianism. Teel, whose co founder of PayPal 1249 01:29:26,133 --> 01:29:31,333 Speaker 2: and Palanteer, shared his worries using examples from dystopian sci 1250 01:29:31,373 --> 01:29:36,693 Speaker 2: fi stories. There's a risk of nuclear war, environmental disaster, bioweapons, 1251 01:29:36,733 --> 01:29:40,693 Speaker 2: and certain types of risks with AI, he explained, to 1252 01:29:41,693 --> 01:29:45,653 Speaker 2: suggesting that the push for global governance as a solution 1253 01:29:45,893 --> 01:29:50,613 Speaker 2: to these threats could culminate in a bad singularity, a 1254 01:29:50,653 --> 01:29:55,573 Speaker 2: one world state that stifles freedom under the guise of safety. 1255 01:29:55,933 --> 01:29:59,573 Speaker 2: Teel critiqued what he described as a reflexive call for 1256 01:29:59,613 --> 01:30:02,933 Speaker 2: centralized control in times of peril. So far, I'm on 1257 01:30:02,933 --> 01:30:06,333 Speaker 2: the same team the defaulty goes on that a fault 1258 01:30:06,373 --> 01:30:11,853 Speaker 2: political solution people have for all these existential risks is 1259 01:30:11,933 --> 01:30:16,293 Speaker 2: one world governance, pointing to proposals for a strengthened United 1260 01:30:16,373 --> 01:30:20,973 Speaker 2: Nations to control nuclear arsenals or global compute governance to 1261 01:30:21,053 --> 01:30:26,933 Speaker 2: regulate AI development, including measures to log every single keystroke 1262 01:30:27,533 --> 01:30:32,493 Speaker 2: to prevent dangerous programming. Such solutions, the investor warned, risk 1263 01:30:32,653 --> 01:30:37,373 Speaker 2: creating a surveillance state that sacrifices individual liberty for security 1264 01:30:37,773 --> 01:30:41,773 Speaker 2: while I'm still riding the same horse. Drawing on historical 1265 01:30:41,813 --> 01:30:46,373 Speaker 2: and philosophical analogies, Tel referenced the nineteen forties Federation of 1266 01:30:46,413 --> 01:30:51,653 Speaker 2: American Scientist film One World or Nune, which argued that 1267 01:30:51,933 --> 01:30:57,493 Speaker 2: only global governance could prevent nuclear annihilation. Teel juxtaposed this 1268 01:30:57,693 --> 01:31:05,093 Speaker 2: with a Christian theological framing Antichrist or armageddon. In both 1269 01:31:05,173 --> 01:31:08,053 Speaker 2: the billionaires said that he sees a binary choice between 1270 01:31:08,093 --> 01:31:13,933 Speaker 2: seisentralized control and catastrophic collapse. Yet Teel questioned the plausibility 1271 01:31:14,053 --> 01:31:20,093 Speaker 2: of a charismatic Antichrist figure seizing power through hypnotic retric 1272 01:31:21,133 --> 01:31:27,493 Speaker 2: as depicted in apocalyptic literature. Instead, he offered a modern twist. 1273 01:31:28,133 --> 01:31:32,093 Speaker 2: The path to global control lies in relentless sphear mongering 1274 01:31:32,213 --> 01:31:37,253 Speaker 2: about existential risks. Quote. The way the Antichrist would take 1275 01:31:37,293 --> 01:31:43,773 Speaker 2: over the world is you talk about armageddon NonStop, Teel explained. 1276 01:31:44,093 --> 01:31:48,533 Speaker 2: The millionaire contrasted this with earlier visions of scientific progress, 1277 01:31:48,573 --> 01:31:53,053 Speaker 2: like those of the seventeenth and eighteenth century Baconian science, 1278 01:31:53,533 --> 01:31:58,653 Speaker 2: where the threat was an evil genius wilding technology. Presently, 1279 01:31:58,813 --> 01:32:03,293 Speaker 2: Teel argued, the greater political resonance lies in halting scientific 1280 01:32:03,333 --> 01:32:07,173 Speaker 2: advancement altogether. In our world, it's far more likely to 1281 01:32:07,213 --> 01:32:12,173 Speaker 2: be Greta Thunberg than Doctor Strangelove, he equipped, invoking the 1282 01:32:12,253 --> 01:32:16,853 Speaker 2: radical Swedish climate activist as a symbol of anti progress sentiment. 1283 01:32:17,573 --> 01:32:22,413 Speaker 2: On AI specifically, Teal struck a balanced note, tempering both 1284 01:32:22,533 --> 01:32:27,253 Speaker 2: utopian and apocalyptic predictions. One question we can frame is 1285 01:32:27,813 --> 01:32:30,213 Speaker 2: just how big a thing do I think AI is, 1286 01:32:31,213 --> 01:32:35,293 Speaker 2: he asked himself. My stupid answer is it's more than 1287 01:32:35,293 --> 01:32:39,493 Speaker 2: a nothing burger. Add its less than the total transformation 1288 01:32:39,573 --> 01:32:43,813 Speaker 2: of our society. Teal. Actually, I'm still on that same 1289 01:32:43,813 --> 01:32:47,493 Speaker 2: horse with him. Teal compared AI's potential impact to the 1290 01:32:47,533 --> 01:32:51,733 Speaker 2: Internet in the late nineteen nineties, suggesting it could create 1291 01:32:52,413 --> 01:32:56,573 Speaker 2: some great companies and add a few percentage points to GDP, 1292 01:32:57,413 --> 01:33:01,253 Speaker 2: perhaps boosting growth by one percent annually for a decade 1293 01:33:01,333 --> 01:33:06,533 Speaker 2: or more. However, the billionaire expressed skepticism that AI alone 1294 01:33:06,933 --> 01:33:11,293 Speaker 2: could end economic state, viewing it as a significant but 1295 01:33:11,373 --> 01:33:18,413 Speaker 2: not revolutionary force. Wild Teal expressed nuanced views on artificial intelligence. 1296 01:33:19,133 --> 01:33:24,973 Speaker 2: His venture capital firm Founder's Fund is aggressively backing the technology. Namely, 1297 01:33:25,053 --> 01:33:29,613 Speaker 2: it recently led a six hundred million dollar investment in Cruiso, 1298 01:33:30,213 --> 01:33:35,773 Speaker 2: a vertically integrated AI infrastructure provider. The biggest risk with 1299 01:33:35,973 --> 01:33:39,573 Speaker 2: AI is that we don't go big enough. Cruso is 1300 01:33:39,613 --> 01:33:44,093 Speaker 2: here to liberate us from the island of limited ambition. 1301 01:33:45,053 --> 01:33:49,533 Speaker 2: Til said at the time, So that wasn't so bad. 1302 01:33:51,253 --> 01:33:54,133 Speaker 2: I managed to stay on that same ride with him 1303 01:33:54,173 --> 01:33:57,813 Speaker 2: all the way through the part that intrigued me the most. 1304 01:33:58,533 --> 01:34:03,213 Speaker 2: Whilst Teal juxtaposed this with a Christian theological framing Antichrist 1305 01:34:03,453 --> 01:34:07,013 Speaker 2: or armaginon in both the Billionaires said he sees a 1306 01:34:07,053 --> 01:34:12,653 Speaker 2: binary choice between crystallized control and the catastrophic collapse. And 1307 01:34:12,693 --> 01:34:16,613 Speaker 2: I repeat yet Teel questioned the plausibility of a charismatic 1308 01:34:16,653 --> 01:34:20,893 Speaker 2: antichrist figure seizing power through hypnotic rhetoric as depicted in 1309 01:34:21,173 --> 01:34:25,093 Speaker 2: apocalyptic literature. Well, he was on the same target that 1310 01:34:25,173 --> 01:34:29,053 Speaker 2: I was when I made the mention of AI being 1311 01:34:29,293 --> 01:34:34,093 Speaker 2: overtaken by some alien force.
