One of my favorite things to do on the podcast is get to see people's work that I admire online, that I see.

You've been producing some incredible documentaries.

You're releasing, what, monthly?

Now it's weekly, which is kind of crazy.

No, it's incredible work and

I have not done a topic or a podcast on this topic solely because I feel like there are a lot of people with interesting intentions or maybe just don't have the level-headedness that's required to explore such a topic.

And for most people, I think this topic feels a bit impractical in a sense where it's not necessarily what is needed most for their life, you know, to dive into these deep rabbit holes.

it is also one of the most existential topics of if we are alone in this universe, you know, and I think Arthur C. Clarke is, is quoted about, you know, both being equally terrifying, either us being alone or not in this universe.

And so what's your, what's your perspective on that?

Just to start as we, you know, begin to peel back the layers here, um, how this topic for most seems like, uh,

I think you've been quoted.

Love the soup.

It does feel like a topic once you start seeing compelling evidence for that is like a rug pull to the materialist reductionist notion of reality, which I think is actually needed now more than ever in the various different ways it can happen.

What are your thoughts on that?

I think it really does help when you look back

historically connect the dots, looking back at all the various different paradigms that did get shattered because of a new innovation, a stack of these anomalies, just the worldview that was held culturally.

And from the point of view of a 25th century human, or whatever we are at that point, looking back, surely we could contemplate what might be some limiting factors

uh perspectives and paradigms that are so prevalent right now and it feels like

We are on the precipice of many of those breaking.

And I think you mentioned a few of those different avenues that could explain these different anomalies from the antigravity to the consciousness.
