The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

So I stayed at Harvard, and within six months, they offered me tenure.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

I was the first.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

You're about 33, 34 years old at this point?

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

Yes.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

Okay.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

And that was only three years after I arrived.

637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

Actually, less than that, two and a half years or so.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

Again, this is very strange.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

Yeah, that's unusual.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

It usually takes seven years.

Anyway, so they offered, and I later went and spoke with Henry.

637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

I said...

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

why did you give me this advice?

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

I mean, did you know that I would get a tenure?

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

And he said, no.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

I didn't know, but I thought it would be better for Harvard if you stayed.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

Ah, that's wonderful.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

So I ended up being tenured at Harvard after working really hard.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

And it's not something that you can just give up.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

So I decided not to go.
