I don't know 61 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 4: if I should name them all, but to hear them 62 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 4: in private also sort of sharing their insights and experiences 63 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 4: and research, you know, these these cutting edge things we're 64 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 4: not even allowed to talk about publicly until maybe recently. 65 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 4: So yeah, I've learned so much. I made so many 66 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 4: new friends, and that's, you know, part of why I 67 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 4: got the podcast going, so I could sort of deepen 68 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 4: those relationships and continue to loose them all of their 69 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 4: their brilliance and information. 70 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 3: Absolutely, that is actually the best part when you get 71 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 3: to talent to peop because there are some things that 72 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 3: some of these researchers can or won't say on stage 73 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 3: necessarily because maybe they haven't flushed it out completely yet, 74 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 3: maybe they're still working on a new idea, but they 75 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 3: might you know, have that conversation with you privately, which 76 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 3: is kind of a funnest part in the conferences to me. 77 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 3: All right, I want to start off and see where 78 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 3: you sit on the UFO topic, Like what are your 79 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 3: thoughts on what you think is happening? Obviously none of 80 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 3: us know, but do you have a guest or inclination 81 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 3: as to what you think is going on? 82 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, I have some guestimations in many working theories, as 83 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 4: a lot of us do. My philosophy, which is what 84 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 4: I lectured on, you know, as it pertains to ufology, 85 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 4: was my main focus while at the conference. It's about 86 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 4: answering that question of how to find and share as 87 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 4: much truth as possible until the point of death and 88 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 4: there beyond should the opportunity present itself. For for me, 89 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 4: it was, you know, I've been trying to just look 90 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 4: into what is going on, like like all of us are, 91 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 4: and so, you know, there's lots of data points, there's 92 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 4: lots of clues. You know, how do you how do 93 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 4: you investigate something that is so much bigger than yourself, 94 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 4: seems seemingly investigating you back on a much you know, 95 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 4: higher level of intelligence, you know. Plane, So I started 96 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 4: getting philosophical trying to figure out how can you look 97 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 4: into these things as opposed to rushing straight to theories 98 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 4: or assumptions like a lot of people have. So because 99 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 4: of that, you know, I don't really have many beliefs 100 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 4: on it. I'm taking primarily from a scientific perspective. However, 101 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 4: that feel's necessary to update the idea of science, to 102 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 4: expand it past you know what. Our mutual friend Seve 103 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 4: Bessett refers to it as the limitations of the truth embargo. 104 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 4: The things that you know in scientists and Acadaemi and 105 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 4: session work, we were encouraged not to think about too 106 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 4: much or take too seriously, and most of those things 107 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,679 Speaker 4: lead to consciousness. The conference with that in the title 108 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 4: not a coincidence either. One of my working main theories 109 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 4: consciousness is indeed the whole thing, or at least the 110 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 4: connective tissue between all things, and it is the bridge 111 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 4: between science and spirituality, and I think we need to 112 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 4: sort of in general terms, broaden these categories and bring 113 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 4: everything in into a much more holistic approach into how 114 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 4: to look into all these things. 115 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 3: Now, I think that that is actually really well framed. 116 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: I like it a lot. I like that you're coming 117 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 3: from the scientific point, and I'm like that you don't 118 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 3: know what it is, because I think that's the only 119 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 3: place we can be. And the more people seem to 120 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 3: know what's going on, the less I tend to believe them, 121 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 3: because it's very difficult to know such a complex array 122 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 3: that we're dealing with, you know, I mean, this is 123 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 3: a complex issue, and you know I my lane where 124 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 3: I live is the more and more you look into this, 125 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 3: the more I feel it warn't scientific investigation because there's 126 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 3: clearly something happening here, and we need to get more 127 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 3: AVVI lobes and more people like that involved, and more 128 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 3: people like yourself looking at this from an objective scientific 129 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: standpoint to see if we can't narrow down what is 130 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 3: going on. 131 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 4: Yes, indeed, I mean I think in my view, science 132 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 4: is everything, just like consciousness is everything. I think things 133 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 4: have been broken down into too many pieces and there 134 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 4: hasn't been enough communication between all approaches. I'm going one 135 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 4: hundred percent from all perspectives of the best of my abilities. 136 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 4: So I believe, you know, one hundred percent that we can, 137 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 4: you know, look into objectivity one hundred percent. We can 138 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 4: look into the consensus perceived reality of subjectivity one hundred 139 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,679 Speaker 4: percent of what we can really get out of spirituality 140 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 4: with ethics, and it simply only do things that help 141 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 4: all planetary life some Michael, and never do anything to 142 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 4: divide or self cannibalize the singular collective what refer to 143 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 4: as celestial consciousness. You know, the whole thing is one 144 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 4: organism together. So yeah, I been going down the rabbit 145 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 4: hole of spirituality. And for me, it's all about trying 146 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 4: to find the overlapping cross sections of all things as well, right, 147 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 4: the commonality of all things, bringing all things together, and 148 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 4: then finding the commonality of all individual things. So it's 149 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 4: sort of these ven diagrams within ven diagrams kind of 150 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 4: like a sort of Mendela of it should make an 151 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 4: art project out of the stuff they think of it. 152 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 4: I do visual art too, to help me sort of 153 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 4: conceive of these philosophical, scientific, aspirational concepts. So, yeah, the 154 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,679 Speaker 4: overlapping cross section of all things to commonality of all things, 155 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 4: and then we'll get to more of that. 156 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I think that. You know, it's very similar 157 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 3: to Matthew James Bailey, who've spoke of that conference, who's 158 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 3: an artificial intelligence guy as well, and he wrote the 159 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 3: book on the Ethics of AI, and he talks often 160 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 3: about the intersection of spirituality and science and AARI and 161 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 3: all of these things are really interconnected. It's really a 162 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 3: tangled web as you get more and more into it. Okay, 163 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 3: let's talk about this movie you co wrote and directed 164 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 3: back in twenty eighteen called Ascension, which deals with the phenomenon. 165 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 3: How was that experience? Oh? 166 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 4: Wow, Yeah, that was cool. The film is an amazing experience. 167 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 4: Long story short. Yes, it looks into the dark side 168 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 4: and the psychological side of the phenomena. Although I primarily 169 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 4: I am into the light side and I aspire to 170 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 4: the light side prevailing at the end. I'm on team Light, 171 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 4: but I also know a ton of people that have 172 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 4: scary experiences and bad experiences, so it looks into that 173 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 4: from a psychological point of view. It's kind of like 174 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 4: a body Snatcher's kind of movie, but on a smaller, 175 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 4: more intimate, psychological family scale. It's like a psychological psychedelic 176 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 4: art film, horror film, sci fi. It went very well. 177 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 4: I won many festivals Best Picture for a first feature 178 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 4: independ film, good Stuff. But it came out and I 179 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 4: got distribution. It was going to be playing in like 180 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,239 Speaker 4: five hundred theaters just to start the first week in Asia, 181 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 4: the very week that the pandemic shut down movie theaters 182 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 4: for years. 183 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 3: Well, I just want to know, was that based on 184 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 3: something that you've known in your life or is it 185 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 3: just pure fiction film? 186 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 4: It's fiction. I have not interacted personally with the phenomena, 187 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 4: although that might change in a couple of weeks. I'll 188 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 4: have to tell you about that privately. But yeah, it's 189 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 4: something that's always been of interest to me since I 190 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 4: was a little boy, watching like Close Encounters and ET. 191 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 4: I've always just been very curious about the truth of existence. 192 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 4: And I've written science fiction for many decades now as 193 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 4: a screenwriter and and such but this was my first 194 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 4: time really researching the phenomena for the first time on 195 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 4: a scientific type level. I wanted to make the most 196 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 4: what i've the time perceived to be the most realistic 197 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 4: version of the phenomena might be and how it might 198 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 4: interact with people. I wanted to make it more about 199 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 4: the consciousness and the psychological aspects and the family dynamics, 200 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 4: sort of a Hitchhiker effect kind of thing. It's a 201 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 4: multi generational story about a mother who's been ill from 202 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 4: these experiences. It's a good movies to check it out. 203 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 3: But as I am asking, I saw it and I 204 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 3: think it does hit those points you just mentioned. Absolutely. 205 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 3: When we return, we're going to ask Ross here how 206 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 3: he feels about disclosure and if he thinks that's going 207 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 3: to come from our government or how that's going to happen. 208 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 3: We'll be right back.

We're talking 233 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 3: to Ross here about disclosure. Where do you sit on that? 234 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 3: Your new podcast is called DIY Disclosure, so I want 235 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 3: to know where you sit with disclosure. 236 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 4: Yes, thank you so much. Disclosure is an important concept. 237 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 4: My approach to it is in the title, as you 238 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 4: can imagine DIY disclosure. I think that's maybe the only 239 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 4: way we're getting disclosure, at least the primary way we 240 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 4: can get disclosure. DIY Disclosure is a podcast which at 241 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 4: to have ron on soon, DIY do It your Self disclosure, 242 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 4: which is a bit you know of a plan words 243 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 4: you know, because disclosure commonly is known as governmental organization 244 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 4: or big brother type entity and veiling things for you. 245 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 4: But DIY disclosure can be done that way by the 246 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 4: you know, those who are the secret keepers. But I 247 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 4: think we all need to do DIY disclosure on an 248 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 4: individual basis to sort of step one of my philosophy. 249 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 4: Algorithmic jiu jitsu involves sort of the shadow work where 250 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 4: you have to investigate yourself, understand yourself, disclose yourself and 251 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 4: your truth, and in doing so, if we can all 252 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 4: share our truth to each other on a larger and 253 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 4: larger celestial consciousness type level, then we will have the 254 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 4: maximum amount of truth simply put. But also DIY disclosure 255 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 4: has to do with my discord with the same name, 256 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 4: where I have thirty seven projects collaboratively gene work Define. 257 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 4: Two of them are documentary investigations. I'm not in charge 258 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 4: of all of them, so don't worry. But it's a 259 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 4: highmind of people around the world. Most of them are 260 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 4: like research topics. It's you know, there's one of the 261 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 4: world's experts on crop circles is there? And that's kind 262 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 4: of part of DIY disclosure. It's this sort of internet 263 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 4: hive mind where we can all see what each other 264 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 4: is doing and cross pollinate and learn from each other. 265 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 4: And that's where we end up getting new and more 266 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 4: and more projects because from the synthesis of these different projects, 267 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 4: you know, the overlapping cross section Mandala energy and synergy. 268 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. What about government though? Do you see it coming from? 269 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 3: Do you see big the disclosure happening. I think we're 270 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 3: one hundred years away, Steve things were a week away. 271 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 3: So where do you fall? 272 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 4: Yes, I love Steven his optimism and I hope he's right. 273 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,599 Speaker 4: It's a holistic approach, right. I'm all forgoing as advertised 274 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 4: one hundred percent in all areas and that includes political 275 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 4: disclosure where I assist and help out and collaborate with 276 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 4: Steve Basson and the work that he does, and you 277 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 4: know what she Han does. So I do very much 278 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 4: believe in it, and we have learned a lot from it. 279 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 4: I think the chances of us in our lifetime or 280 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 4: at least receiving provable disclosure, I think what we're going 281 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 4: to get most likely is lots of information disclosure which 282 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 4: we won't be able to prove whether or not to 283 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 4: be true, but it could likely lead to more and 284 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 4: more intro in the topic, the ability to grow, like 285 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 4: your conference, for example, to get more and more people 286 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 4: in the population to find this to be a vital issue, 287 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 4: so it could start affecting politics and elections. So I 288 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 4: think it's all useful, but I don't think it makes 289 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 4: sense that we're going to be getting any like technological 290 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 4: prove you know, we're not going to necessarily get a 291 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 4: craft or some entity bodies presented by the president, even 292 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 4: though I will keep pushing for that enthusiastically. I just 293 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 4: don't see how the incentives would would go in that direction, 294 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 4: Why any would want to, you know, why would even 295 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 4: make sense for national security to at least give up 296 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 4: you know, the details about. 297 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 3: The say to Steve, there is no incentive for them 298 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 3: to do it. What's the upside for them to disclose 299 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 3: this if in fact they have that. Let me ask 300 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 3: you this though your things about truth in a post 301 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 3: truth world, which I love, What if another country, for example, 302 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 3: disclosed What if a South American country said, by the way, 303 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 3: we've had contact with alien bas do you think a 304 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 3: lot of people would believe that? 305 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, we have this going on, you know, 306 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 4: the Congressional skin hearings, which I've been you know, very 307 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 4: excited about. Seems like that those are non human bodies? 308 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 4: Is that mean it's extra terrestrial? Who knows? I think 309 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 4: it's possible that we in our lifetime we might get 310 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 4: that kind of disclosure, and maybe even in this country, 311 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 4: because you know, there is not necessarily harm in showing 312 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 4: That's then you bring up a great point the bodies, right, 313 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 4: like why can't our country show us bodies right? If 314 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 4: it's not the technology, what's the harm? And if we 315 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 4: are ramping up, which I sincerely hope or not of course, 316 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 4: to you know, a hot World War three scenario, you know, 317 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 4: this is likely a time when our government, with our 318 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 4: best interests at heart, presumably are going to be rolling 319 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 4: out probably reverse engineered ET tech, and they're going to 320 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 4: want to put into the field, you know, use it 321 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 4: for some be a very useful tool for spying things 322 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 4: like that, but maybe just for defensive purposes to make 323 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 4: sure that, you know, the adversarial nations are not going 324 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 4: to launch any nukes without us knowing it, and then 325 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 4: maybe we could just you know, scoop them up with 326 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 4: the UFOs and no big deal. You know, why would 327 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 4: a body be counterproductive for that? Well, I think it 328 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 4: could actually be productive for our government or whoever is 329 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 4: pulling these strings to reveal some hopefully living alien bodies, 330 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 4: because then we're going to be thinking about the aliens 331 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 4: and not about our secret technology. So that's my pitch 332 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 4: to the government. Let's see some bodies. Don't let the 333 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 4: Mexicans and the Pruvians and everyone else be to the punch, right. 334 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 3: Well, I wish I would not recommend people set aside 335 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 3: time to see this happening, because I just do not 336 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 3: see any way they're going to roll out the bodies. 337 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 3: I mean, I think we're a long long way from 338 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 3: that one thing. To see the craft. That's yet another 339 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 3: to get into the physical beings. Okay, so one of 340 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 3: the biggest problems we have in the UFO community is 341 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 3: they're always faced with struggling to get the truth to 342 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 3: the truth. That's what we're all trying to do basically, 343 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 3: and we have to navigate the misinformation, disinformation, hoaxes, lies, 344 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 3: flat out incorrect information. So one of the questions I 345 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 3: like to ask people is how do they navigate all this? 346 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 3: How do you navigate online to get around all that? 347 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 4: This is definitely all interesting stuff to me. This is 348 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 4: what algorithmic jiu jitsu is all about. My philosophy is 349 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 4: called algorithmic jiu jitsu, and it's about all algorithms, but 350 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 4: initially it's about the one we live in online, the 351 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 4: hive mind of the Internet, the social media algorithmic timeline, 352 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 4: once initially referred to as the news feed, which is 353 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 4: the single largest thing to negatively affect civilization in recent 354 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,360 Speaker 4: history based on my assessment. So yeah, I'm not saying 355 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 4: everything we get in that online is complete disinformation, but 356 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 4: a lot of it is, as you know, and a 357 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 4: lot of it is also just people that don't understand 358 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 4: the truth. Because even without disinformation. Truth is economically and 359 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,959 Speaker 4: socially deincentivized globally with the algorithmic timeline. So algorithmic jiu 360 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 4: jitsu is about transmuting that and Act three and this 361 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,239 Speaker 4: is the project in my DIY disclosure discord that I'm 362 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 4: most excited about working on making a new social media 363 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 4: one where this social media timeline does not do what 364 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 4: it does. It's actually all quite laid out conceptually and 365 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 4: as a business plan. Just got to finish a couple 366 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 4: of documentaries. We're going to try to do it. If 367 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 4: there is not time to actually accomplish it, then I'm 368 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 4: going to just be releasing these ideas open source so 369 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 4: that hopefully the people who run the current social media 370 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 4: companies can make the necessary changes or be inspired to 371 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 4: do that. 372 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 3: Well, they will not, I'm going to tell you right 373 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 3: now forget that that's not going to happen. As you know, 374 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,439 Speaker 3: one interesting thing you pointed out, So you have this 375 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 3: admirable goal of trying to find truth in a post 376 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 3: truth world, and I love that, and I find it 377 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 3: fascinating that you're you've actually pinpointed You've touched on it 378 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 3: there a little bit, but you've pinpointed exactly when the 379 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 3: truth on the Internet basically ended, and that was in 380 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 3: two thousand and six with the dawn of these algorithms. 381 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 3: Can you elaborate on how that plays out? 382 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really some whiplash. And this is partially inspired 383 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 4: by long conversations with Steve Bassett on the Internet, because 384 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 4: I think he you know, and others that have previously 385 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 4: identified how the Internet initially was the biggest shift initially 386 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 4: for the positive good, especially for my objective being the 387 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,479 Speaker 4: finding and sharing of information, the truth. That was an 388 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 4: unprecedented time for finding and sharing information in all kinds 389 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 4: of ways without control the top down. And then we 390 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 4: have this like complete one eighty with this invention two 391 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 4: thousand and six. Who is Zuckerberg who implemented it first 392 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 4: on Facebook and then everyone else followed suit like immediately thereafter. 393 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 4: And it makes sense, you know, to have the whole 394 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 4: world kind of like pushed into one stream, you know, 395 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 4: one sort of lane where you can kind of you know, 396 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 4: mingle together. And I like that idea, but the way 397 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 4: it was done just completely took away that open, wild 398 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 4: West nature of the original Internet and forced it through 399 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 4: these major corporations and through this pipeline of the algorithmic timeline, 400 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 4: which then put forced everyone into these little, tiny, tiny, 401 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 4: infinite tail in market echo chambers where we're the only 402 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 4: way to succeed, the only way. If you want to 403 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 4: go on a date, you want to have a family, 404 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 4: if you want to make money, if you want to 405 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 4: be famous, if you want to any if you want 406 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 4: to succeed on any level, then telling the truth will 407 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 4: not help you. 408 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 3: Did it. That's a shame, And it does feel like 409 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 3: that really did change. And I love that it's the 410 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 3: algorithms that have done that, as that further divides us, 411 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 3: which further complicates things. So when we get back, we're 412 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 3: going to talk to Ross more about this and see 413 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 3: if it really is truly possible to happen or if 414 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 3: it's just a utopian idea.

We're talking about 433 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 3: this idea of having a truthful space on the Internet 434 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,719 Speaker 3: like we used to, but it's all got jumbled up 435 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 3: with these algorithms that are giving us what we want 436 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 3: to see and dividing us and that sort of thing. 437 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 3: So will it really happen? Is it even possible? I 438 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 3: think it's hard to stop this train, and young people 439 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 3: just seem to be used to this and they're growing 440 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 3: up in this and as admirable as your idea is, 441 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 3: I don't see how it's possible. I think it's just 442 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 3: it's a fast moving train and there's just no way 443 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 3: to slow it down in my view. 444 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 4: Indeed, indeed, well algorithmic jiu jitsu is jiu jitsu right 445 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 4: and philosophically, So I started this philosophy not because I 446 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 4: was like, I'm going to think of the defining philosophy 447 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 4: of the modern age. I didn't even know as a philosophy. 448 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 4: I was just stuck during the pandemic and isolated like 449 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 4: all of us were. And I was quite aware of 450 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 4: all the issues of social media which we've discussed, and 451 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 4: I've never been a person that would has ever compromised 452 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 4: my ethics, integrity, So and also as an artist, filmmaker, 453 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 4: et cetera, essential to be online. So the question, like 454 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 4: for many people, is can I do this somehow without 455 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 4: and still look at myself in the mirror and sleep 456 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 4: at night believe in myself. And so that's where I 457 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 4: started trying to figure out this puzzle. So Act one 458 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 4: is the sort of mellow demon, which is my sort 459 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 4: of online persona, and that's union shadow work side of 460 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 4: finding of DIY disclosure of oneself. Then when you're ready 461 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 4: to play, you can enter the algorithmic timeline and that's 462 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 4: where the jiu jitsu begins. Okay, So jiu jitsu is 463 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 4: about this sort of peaceful, mutual benefit way of using 464 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 4: the energy of the perceived adversary to win and ideally 465 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 4: for everyone to win. So that's what I do online. 466 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 4: I don't follow any of the negative trends. Ufology in 467 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 4: my view, for example, is something that has been and 468 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 4: forever should be nonpartisan by nature. So I've not let 469 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,719 Speaker 4: what refer to as the petty terrestrial affairs interfere with 470 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 4: what I need to do, which is to fine insure 471 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 4: the truth. If we're dividing into little clicks and stuff, 472 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 4: we're losing access to certain information because we're just in 473 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 4: one echo chamber and not another, and we're de valuing 474 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 4: other people's idea and truth because they are the perceived 475 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 4: political other. So anyway, long story short, the jiu jitsu 476 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 4: is the sort of second act of how to still 477 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 4: thrive but while using the negative toxic energy of the algorithm, 478 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 4: but for positive effect of all people. And then the 479 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 4: third act, which I agree as an ambitious one is 480 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 4: to at least try to put out an alternative out there. 481 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 4: And you know, I don't mess around, so I intend 482 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 4: to actually make it work. But it is an astoundingly 483 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 4: ambitious idea. But I've analyzed it and there's tons of 484 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 4: weakness in the current system, and since no one is 485 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 4: doing it this other way yet, I think there's a 486 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 4: big opportunity at least to have an alternate place for 487 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 4: people to find and share truth constructively. 488 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 3: It's an awesome idea and I love it. And I 489 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 3: guess there's two people now that I think still have 490 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 3: integrity and that you and I, because I still can't 491 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 3: find that in today's world. It's such a different place 492 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 3: now than it was just a few years ago. Even 493 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 3: UFO Twitter in our own little community that can be 494 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 3: a place for trolling and argumentative comments and nonsense. It's tough. 495 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 3: I hope, I hope something like this is able to 496 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 3: be accomplished. Let me ask you this, Okay, So you 497 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 3: have this other philosophy called the eternal present tense, which 498 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 3: I love that idea. I often find myself reflecting on 499 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 3: past things or looking to what I want to do 500 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 3: in the future, and I ignore the present. It's a 501 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 3: huge problem for me. Can you elaborate on your notion 502 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 3: of what the eternal present tense means? Oh? 503 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 4: Yes, thank you. Yeah, And this is part of the 504 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 4: same algorithmic jiu jitsu philosophy. Indeed, and yes, the algorithm. 505 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 3: You really do a lot of algorithms, don't you. 506 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 4: Exactly As a beautiful woman recently told me, a brilliant 507 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 4: and beautifulman said, I'm a structural revolutionist, and it sounded 508 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 4: good coming from her. I mean, I'm a flowing person. 509 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 4: Though I'm a free form structural revolutionist. I'm a lot 510 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 4: of I'm a weird person. What can I say? I 511 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 4: had an unusual disability situation for most of my life. 512 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 4: I suffered through the most severe form of chronic pain 513 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 4: for twenty two years and I still have pain, but 514 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 4: it's a lot better and so getting out of that. 515 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,959 Speaker 4: And this is a whole you know, being tortured, literally 516 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 4: tortured alive, it's a lot to describe. For all that time, 517 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 4: it does something to you. It's a gift if you 518 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 4: are fortunate to somehow like you know, claw your way 519 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 4: through it. Most wisdom and transcendence does require suffering. Is 520 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 4: the medium through which you must move. So it was 521 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 4: the experience of the very long story of getting through 522 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 4: that ordeal that I found myself in the eternal what 523 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 4: I now call the eternal presentence, you know, being being 524 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 4: present all the time. It started off briefly. I found 525 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 4: ways briefly to sort of escape from the torture, and 526 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 4: that was often through the creation of music. And that's 527 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 4: where I primarily entered into these sort of mantra like 528 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 4: trance like states. But then the music would have to stop, 529 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 4: you know, and the music's over, you know, with what 530 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 4: the fuck do you do then? And I didn't want 531 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 4: to have to turn off the light, because guess what, 532 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 4: I couldn't sleep, you know. Ever, I was in so 533 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 4: much pain, I would just be up all the time, 534 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 4: and then i'd maybe black out every four days. I 535 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 4: tried to find a way to sort of extend the 536 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 4: flow state longer and longer, and over quite some time, 537 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 4: I've got to the point where I was present continuously 538 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 4: in a flow state for over five years. It wasn't perfect, however, 539 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 4: I was sort of all over the place, you know, 540 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 4: like a like a wild like a leaf blowing in 541 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 4: the wind. And so then I thought of this kind 542 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 4: of very important thing, which is chapter three of the 543 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 4: philosophy called the super objective, which is which I've described 544 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,360 Speaker 4: the eternal process of collaboratively finding insurant truth. So that's 545 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 4: the eternal present tense. It's this flow state that goes 546 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 4: on forever. And it's important to, in my view, in 547 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 4: my experience and others who have attempted such things, to 548 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 4: connect it to some kind of very clear, simple erow 549 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 4: of time to bring you through this life and the 550 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 4: next one. If there's that opportunity to get into the 551 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 4: eternal presentense. Here are some things that help one, should 552 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 4: I believe, stop anxieties pertaining to the illusion of the 553 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:47,959 Speaker 4: past and the illusion of the future. 554 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 3: This is easier said than done, though we can all 555 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 3: get bogged down by those anxieties, right. 556 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, And I've been in this state for so 557 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 4: long I try to describe how to do it. I've 558 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 4: made some sort of like kind of alchemy style. Also, 559 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 4: so acting, I was a professional actor before I got disabled. 560 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 4: So and I studied with some of the greatest teachers 561 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 4: in the world, and it was through the philosophies of 562 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 4: these Russian you know, geniuses like Stanslawski and Michael Chekhov especially. 563 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 4: Some of these ideas came from right, these flow state 564 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 4: ideas all the world to stage. It does seem the 565 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 4: more I looked into quantum physics and stuff, it does 566 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 4: seem useful to to derive philosophical inspiration from the acting 567 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 4: teachers and philosophers. But yeah, do you want to give 568 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 4: up the illusion of the future and the past? And 569 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 4: do you want to give up meta thought? All thoughts 570 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 4: should just happen in the eternal presence. If you're thinking 571 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 4: about thinking, you're doing it wrong. 572 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 3: You're thinking about thinking, which. 573 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 4: Is the next chapter. It's called without thinking. 574 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 3: Love it less. Let me ask you this. You also 575 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 3: work with artificial intelligence. I want to know do you 576 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 3: think that this will help or hurt this vision like 577 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 3: you were talking about, you know, getting to the truth 578 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 3: on the having a truthful Internet experience. I see artificial 579 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 3: intelligence as going the opposite way and further subdividing people, 580 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 3: calling only the information that they want to hear about 581 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 3: the things they want to hear about, and they won't 582 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 3: even know what's going on in the world elsewhere because 583 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 3: they'll have this gate there. That's the way I see it. 584 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 3: Do you see it the same way or do you 585 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 3: think it can help and move things in the direction 586 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 3: you're hoping for. 587 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 4: I agree with you, but I also think it has 588 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 4: to fix things just from a practical level. Like all 589 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 4: the things that I think about and try to do 590 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,959 Speaker 4: are about trying to make positive change, like literally in 591 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 4: some sort of tangible, observable way. And so, okay, technology 592 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 4: generally speaking, in my view, is neither you know, good 593 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 4: nor bad. It's just how society handles it. Unfortunately, our 594 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 4: society is completely messed up. So I don't mean to 595 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 4: be like overly you know, optimistic, but our only option 596 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 4: is to try to make things better. And you know, 597 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 4: so we have two choices going into it right. Either, 598 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 4: you know, we can be Sarah Connor and somehow take 599 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 4: it all down. Unfortunately, you know, the United States is 600 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 4: the most powerful, you know, hedgemon in all known history, 601 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 4: so to take it down we would never dream of 602 00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 4: doing this. But even if we wanted to, which we don't, 603 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 4: we would lose. So our only option then is to 604 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 4: use the technology ethically and to help humanity. As for 605 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 4: the philosophy and the ethics, only do things to help 606 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 4: all planetary life, and AI is like a Pandora's box 607 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 4: that you can use for really good things or really 608 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 4: bad things. So we have to we are ethically sort 609 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 4: of required to create these projects to use it for good, 610 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 4: and I have a lot of projects and ideas on 611 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 4: how it can and hus been and will be used 612 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 4: that way. 613 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 3: Awesome. When we come back, we're going to talk to 614 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 3: Ross more about artificial intelligence and how it can be 615 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 3: used for good and maybe how it can be used 616 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 3: in the UFO community for identifying objects in the sky. 617 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 3: You're listening to Beyond Contact on the iHeartRadio and Coast 618 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 3: to Coast am Paranormal Podcast Network. 619 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 2: The Internet is an extraordinary resource that links our children 620 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 2: to a world of information, experiences, and ideas. It can 621 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 2: also expose them to risk. Teach your children the basic 622 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 2: safety rules of the virtual world. Our children are everything, 623 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 2: Do everything for them. 624 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 5: On the iHeartRadio and Parental Podcast Network. Listen anytime, any place. 625 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 2: Hi, this is Sandra Champlain. Ever wonder what happens when 626 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 2: we die? Well, I'm going to make it easier for 627 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 2: you to understand. Join me for my show Shades of 628 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 2: the Afterlife. New shows come out every Friday, so I'll 629 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 2: be looking for you right here on the iHeartRadio and 630 00:31:55,520 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 2: Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. 631 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 3: We are back on Beyond Contact. I'm Captain Ron. We're 632 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 3: talking here with Ross Weashman about artificial intelligence in the 633 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 3: different applications of that. Ross, do you see artificial intelligence 634 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 3: being used to help in the UFO community? Maybe in 635 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 3: just identifying the craft. I've seen these things deployed where 636 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 3: they program them to identify what's a helicopter, what's a plane, 637 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 3: what's a jet, what's a satellite, what's a star and 638 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 3: eliminates all of that. It can break down what is 639 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 3: truly an anomaly? Have you seen that? 640 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 4: I'm aware of it going on in many different ways, 641 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 4: both DIY by just random brilliant people as well as 642 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 4: by contractors with the government and stuff. There's a lot 643 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 4: of interest in tracking things in this guy, whether they 644 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 4: consider it alien or maybe just at enemy adversary. 645 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 3: Well, I thought Ero said there is no such thing 646 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 3: as that. Remember Ero said that. 647 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 4: Well, you got to keep it confusing. It's not a 648 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 4: misinformation unless you have a little bit of every possibility 649 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 4: in the mix, you know, right. But yeah, I think 650 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 4: it is a major tool for that. I mean, you 651 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 4: know a lot of us we really accelerated our trip 652 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 4: down the rabbit hole, you know, with the first Nora 653 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 4: admission and all that stuff that happened, you know, when 654 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 4: this hit the mainstream, when we had the President kind 655 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 4: of mutter about this topic a little bit, allegedly the 656 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 4: Chinese spy balloon and then the two subsequent UAPs that 657 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 4: were seemingly shot down but no debris was allegedly found, 658 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 4: all that stuff. So yeah, since then, I mean, there 659 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 4: has really been an upshot in the private sector as 660 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 4: well as what I'm told, you know, within the government 661 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 4: and the surrounding geos and projects. I'm told that that's 662 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 4: been used for quite some time by the government and 663 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 4: more and more by private contractors, which I know just. 664 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 3: In the near future where these things will get better 665 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 3: and better and more people will have access to them, 666 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,239 Speaker 3: and then we can have this in our backyard and 667 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 3: we can track you know. I think that that's around 668 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 3: the corner, and that'll help with the DIY disclosure, right 669 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 3: because people will be capturing their own information. But then again, 670 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 3: let's say somebody does that tomorrow and they say, hey, look, 671 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 3: I got this anomalous object that clearly looks like a 672 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 3: quote unquote UFO. Now who's going to believe it. They 673 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 3: put that on Twitter. What's going to happen? Yeah, it's oh, yeah, 674 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 3: that's real. Look this guy saw a UFO. No, that's 675 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 3: not what's going to happen. Most people won't believe it. Right, 676 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 3: it's going to get trashed and picked at, and even 677 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 3: if it's real or not, it's going to face a 678 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 3: lot of scrutiny. 679 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,760 Speaker 4: Yeah. With you know, digital cameras, it's you know, almost 680 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 4: impossible to verify anything. I mean with video in general, 681 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 4: it's it's not evidence, but you know that kind of thing. 682 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 4: It's not tangible enough for me. There is other research 683 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 4: that I'm aware of and sort of participating in that 684 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 4: has to do with the sort of manifestation of craft 685 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 4: and things from the points of view of conscious beings. 686 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 4: With sensors. I think there's a lot that can be 687 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 4: done with with sensors to detect the phenomena. I know 688 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 4: that's going on with like Chris Bledsoe and all the 689 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:55,439 Speaker 4: people studying his local phenomena. And the sensors are very 690 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 4: inexpensive now. And what I could imagine if the world 691 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 4: would let us do it cool to have you know, 692 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 4: a truly global array of these sensors, because I think 693 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 4: that's how you can really get more useful data if 694 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 4: you could somehow connect the get some EKG or whatever, 695 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 4: the most high tech way of observing the conscious aspect 696 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 4: of the phenomenon and then seeing how it pops up 697 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 4: and where, when and how. The challenge, though primarily seems 698 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,799 Speaker 4: to be privacy. You know, to have a connected array 699 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 4: of sensors all around the world, you know, all of 700 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 4: a sudden, you're putting yourself in surveillance even more than 701 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 4: we already are under surveillance all the time. So it's 702 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 4: like how you speak of DIY disclosure, like how do 703 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 4: you keep it you know, underground punk, rock and pure 704 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 4: while also connecting everything together. I think blockchain and that 705 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 4: kind of technology encryption is part of the way, which 706 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 4: is why I have in a discord of various projects 707 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,280 Speaker 4: that do combine these sort of social high minded type 708 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 4: projects with open source web three blockschain technology, both so 709 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 4: that once there is actually hopefully you know, data to share, 710 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 4: that it can be protected and not taken down too easily, 711 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 4: and also so that people can share and participate in 712 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 4: things in a way where they're not going to be 713 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 4: hacked and manipulated. By the government and whoever else. 714 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 3: This is an ideal community for that kind of technology. 715 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 3: I think that could really play right into our hand 716 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 3: and really help with the DIY disclosure in that area. 717 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,399 Speaker 3: I'm very optimistic about AI helping. I think it'll hurt 718 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 3: us online with further division, but it will help us 719 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 3: dramatically with identifying craft and sharing these stories. Like what 720 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 3: if we had an array that would pop up, there's 721 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 3: a sighting here here, you could map it. You could 722 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 3: see where the patterns are. You know. Everything's always so 723 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 3: private and quiet, you know, But if we all share 724 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 3: that at one central location, you could say, look, there 725 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 3: seems to be this exact pattern, and maybe it's something else. 726 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 3: Maybe we would discover it's an atmospheric anomaly, you know 727 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 3: what I mean. If we all had shared that data. 728 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 3: Our data is way too fractured, don't you think. 729 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 4: Oh indeed, yeah. And that's the whole thing with like 730 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 4: scientism and the truth embargo that I mean. I try 731 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 4: to look at things from all perspectives. You know, I 732 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 4: can understand why, you know, national security secrets. They're not 733 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 4: going to want to let everybody you know, have the 734 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 4: information technology, But it gets to such an extent that 735 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 4: there's no nothing coherent about academia at all, you know, 736 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 4: so bringing people together is really important. I have this 737 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 4: thing called open source spirituality, open source science, all these 738 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 4: different things. History, yes, that's actually the one I'm most 739 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 4: excited about. So the idea is, if you want to 740 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 4: clap on this, I'd love to have you. It's you know, 741 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 4: getting let's say history right, if we want truth, if 742 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 4: we want to understand the truth of the president. And 743 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 4: you know, I aspire to be a futureologist. You know, 744 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 4: all data points for understanding the future, of course come 745 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 4: from history. But what's the problem with history. Obviously it's 746 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,320 Speaker 4: certainly not reliable. It's all coming from many different sources, 747 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 4: you know, and the victors are the ones that get 748 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 4: to write the history and it clashes with their neighbor's history. 749 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 4: So if we have the whole world connected with the internet, 750 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 4: so open source history, which I'm that's my favorite one, 751 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 4: by the way, maybe we'll do it first. It's a 752 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,439 Speaker 4: little less dangerous than open source energy, for example, which 753 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,440 Speaker 4: will also get to responsibly. But open source history. Get 754 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 4: everyone together. Let's go through what we perceive to be 755 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,839 Speaker 4: the main historic milestones of the last century or two. 756 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,759 Speaker 4: Compare our notes, and let's find once again the overlapping 757 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 4: cross section of all these things, and see we can 758 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,760 Speaker 4: find some base reality consensus to build from. 759 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 3: The collaborative effort of all these things is really exciting. 760 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 3: You have this other topic or philosophy that you call 761 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 3: you already mentioned it, the petty terrestrial affairs. I love 762 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 3: this phrasing. All of your phrasings and titles are great 763 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 3: if you just maybe that's your calling that you know 764 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 3: phrasing or titles. This notion is something I often pontificate 765 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 3: about myself. We sometimes say it's all meaningless. What we're 766 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 3: really referring to is the notion of don't sweat the 767 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 3: small stuff. It's all small stuff as we all get 768 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 3: caught up in these mundane minutia of life. Tell us 769 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 3: your thoughts on petti terrestrial affairs. 770 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 4: Oh great, yeah, pettiterrestrial affairs. 771 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:42,439 Speaker 3: Yeah. 772 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 4: Some of my phrases have been like spreading all kinds 773 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:48,800 Speaker 4: of interesting places, you know, around the internet. Famous academic scientists, 774 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 4: some of which you go on TV incredible ways who 775 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 4: have been curious about the phenomena too, but they just 776 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 4: have not been allowed to do it in academia or 777 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 4: on their normal TV shows and platforms because of the 778 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 4: truth embargo and the stigma toation. But they're using some 779 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 4: of these phrases to do it, including pettiitustrial affairs and 780 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 4: in particular, revolutionary civility has been the one that's caught 781 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 4: on the most, fortunately, because that's been my benevolent way 782 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 4: to socially engineer people to break free of the bad 783 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 4: behavior of the you know, algorithmic timeline. You know. And 784 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 4: by the way, UFO Twitter is famously the most toxic 785 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 4: part of Twitter, except for the low community I've formed 786 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 4: with my friends, which is like this oasis. But yes, 787 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,799 Speaker 4: pettiterrestrial fairs is also catching on. I'm glad because these 788 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 4: are ones that are most directly about existing online and 789 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 4: the problems that I perceive in doing so. For those 790 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 4: interested in, you know, clinging to one's ethics and integrity 791 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,239 Speaker 4: like you, buddy, So petti trstrial a fairs is very 792 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,959 Speaker 4: important to me. Petty trustrial affairs is what self cannibalizes 793 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,479 Speaker 4: us on the hive mind of the Internet. It gets 794 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 4: us to focus on left versus right in terms of politics, 795 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,280 Speaker 4: culture war A versus culture war B preference, and then tiny, 796 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 4: tiny and tinier little things. We just we just self 797 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 4: cannibalize ourselves so much it's like it's like a cheese 798 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,120 Speaker 4: grater until we're just like a fine mist of cheese, 799 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 4: and it distracts us. It makes it impossible for us 800 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 4: to come together as a hive mind species around the 801 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 4: planet and find the truth instead where we're just self destructing. 802 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 4: It also makes it impossible to make the world better. 803 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 4: As an activist, an activist for disclosure, I'm also an 804 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,320 Speaker 4: activist for environmentalism, which I have connected to disclosure in 805 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 4: a way. I do a lot of spaces, you know, 806 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 4: these live streams on Twitter, which is like how I 807 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,839 Speaker 4: actually built my mass socratic method of philosophy, getting all 808 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,000 Speaker 4: the different nodes of the high mind to try out 809 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,759 Speaker 4: these ideas that I have and to you know, tell 810 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 4: me if they suck. So far, none of them suck, 811 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 4: but it's okay. It's a good way. I've learned from 812 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 4: these people and we collaborate, and in doing so, there 813 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,239 Speaker 4: are simple rules in my spaces, and we have no 814 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 4: petty terrestrial affairs ever. And once you do that, you know, 815 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 4: you forget whoever one is, what tribe they came from, 816 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 4: and it's just about the best ideas only in the 817 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 4: good vibes. It's revolutionary civility, so let's not think we're 818 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 4: being weak about it, because it's also the only way 819 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,240 Speaker 4: to make change is through this civil process. 820 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,400 Speaker 3: I love it, man, Ross. All your stuff's amazing. Do 821 00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 3: you sleep more than four minutes a night? Because I 822 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,840 Speaker 3: thought I was busy? And if you go to his 823 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,239 Speaker 3: website melodemon dot com, he's got art on there, he's 824 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,120 Speaker 3: got music that he writes on there, he's got DIY 825 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 3: disclosure efforts on there, the podcast, everything's on there. Check 826 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,239 Speaker 3: it out at melodemon dot com.
