Quantum computing a thousand years from now might have a.

Right.

Right. What about a future in which we develop some sort of propulsion system and attach it to a drone that's not it's not based on fuel. It's based on some sort of gravity thing and allows you to traverse immense distances very quickly. And then we could actually get that fucker way out there, take some video and bring it back.

Well, it's okay. It's all funded by the government. Oh, right. Infinite money. We just print checks. Oh, we'll just tax people. And we'll blame the UFOs.

Which is what I think they're doing, by the way.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. I think so, too. Yeah. I think both things are true. I think we have been visited. And I think it only makes sense. I think there is life out there because it doesn't make sense if there isn't. And I think I would visit.

If I got 1,000 years more advanced than we are and we found out about some planet that's 2,000 light years away that actually is making nuclear bombs, fuck yeah, I'd visit. Of course. I'd visit. 100%.

So, of course they would visit, and of course they would want to protect us from the overwhelming shock to our culture that would undoubtedly be thrust upon us if we were confronted with a city-sized spaceship that's hovering over Detroit, just hovering over there. It would send the world into a massive panic. No one would know what to do.

Okay.

Right.

That's got to be good news because we're – Right, but to anyone in power, this would be a gigantic threat.

To anyone trying to pass off some sort of narrative that this is the – that we're in the lead in terms of like the moral high ground of the world and that we're the wisest, we're the best, we're going to make decisions for everybody, that would throw a monkey wrench completely into the gears of that. Oh, totally. So they would lose all control. They would lose all authority.

They would lose all respect.

Because I don't think they are. That's not what I'm saying. I think that would freak them out, and they're not doing that, right? I think if they are real and they do observe us, they probably observe us in a way where there's a limited amount of detection. And I think there's probably – if I was going to acclimate a culture to the idea that they're not alone, I would do it slowly.

That way you could have the same ultimate effect eventually and maybe – Maybe help them along their evolution as well, along their cultural evolution to like slowly introduce this concept that they're not alone and then do it over decades, which is exactly what's been happening. And the acceptance of it has changed from when I was a kid. You talk about UFOs. You're a fucking kook.

One hundred percent.

Straight up kook. And then the Bob Lazar story came around and everybody was like, hey, wait a minute. is that guy telling the truth? And that was like 89, but still seemed like bullshit. And then there was a bunch of questions about his education background. Ah, bullshit artist.

But then over time, more people have seen enough things like Commander David Fravor and more people have seen things that like have no explanation whatsoever. And, You start hearing stories from high-level people about retrieved vehicles and this and that. It's more and more and more and more and more normal people talking about it.

And more and more professors at Stanford and the New York Times in 2017 print a story and respected Air Force pilots are coming out and talking about it. It's a different world. And it's a different world just over a few decades. Yeah.

Right. I haven't either. But also, I haven't seen anything, right? Right. These are unique experiences. And the problem with unique experiences is... Everyone has to just sort of trust you unless you have some kind of evidence. Everyone has to trust you, even if it's a whole town. It's a unique experience in the town. Mass hypnosis, bunch of bullshit artists.
