American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

She said we know 1% of what there is to know.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

I wanted to say maybe one-tenth of one-tenth of one-tenth of 1%.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

I think that some problems are too small to see.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

Some are too big.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

And it's too big for the human mind to get their mind around just how

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

And this is the point that I think it was Niels Bohr or Feynman or someone like that said, yeah, quantum physics is not only weirder than we know, then weirder than we can know.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

Well, he also said, Bohr has also said, prediction is very difficult, especially of the future.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

But, you know, this brings up a fascinating difference between the two of us, which I regard as a strength and that we look at the world very differently.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

She is a clinician.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

She wants to make her patients' bodies heal.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

So she's not into mind-body medicine in the sense of understanding the brain and the mind for its own sake, but she wants to heal the body by, you know, understanding the brain.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

So her goal is healing the body, right?

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

But I think what I wanted to say is the difference is she's very practical and pragmatic.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

She has a very concrete end result, health.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

right, where I'm more of a bench scientist than a clinician, right?

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

And so I'm interested in the deep why.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

So in the book, the few parts that I wrote, because it's really her book and I'm just throwing in a few pieces of neuroscience,

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

That if I had to rewrite that book, my part again, I'd read very different.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

Because I interpreted the body the way a neuroscientist would, which is the map of the body on the brain.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
Former NSA Director Breaks Silence on UFOs

We have the, you mentioned the Wernicke's and Braque's area for speech, but there's similar areas for motor and sensory in which you have this little human version of you called the homunculus.
