We would be living in a universe where the future is already determined. Anyway, that's a metaphysical argument for us philosophers.

I find that a useful argument because I actually do think that we're dealing with descendants of the human race and other versions of the human race in this phenomenon. However, I have to say, in defense of Greer, I watched some of your interview with him, not all of it, and he did bring up a point that was legitimate, but he expressed it in a way where I think he wasn't making himself clear.

Remember where he came back and said to you, no, actually, it's very likely that there will be humanoid life on another... Yeah, I do remember that. Here's what he was trying to say. Rupert Sheldrake... He said something about... Morphic resonance.

Rupert Sheldrake, British biologist, who has... looked at a lot of different empirical evidence for another form of causality in nature besides efficient causality. Efficient causality is like billiard ball causality, bing, bang, bong, things colliding with each other on an subatomic level. Okay.

The view that the whole universe works only according to efficient causality, the materialist, reductionist, mechanistic model of the universe, it's only a couple hundred years old. Back in the day, even in the Renaissance, let alone in classical antiquity when people like Aristotle were formulating how the universe functions, there were other forms of causality, like formal causes.

where forms were considered a cause, a shaping influence that guided biological and physical development. Okay? So form was considered a type of cause in and of itself. And in Aristotelian view of the world, there were also final causes, in other words, purposes in nature. That, you know... Embedded in the seed of a plant is a purpose to become a certain type of plant.

And to absorb light from the sun and to alter the nutrients of the earth that the plant is growing in and to grow fruit that nourishes people is part of the purpose of a plant. Kind of like the soul of something. Yeah, the aim, the aim of something. The soul of an axe is to chop. Well, the aim of something. The aim, okay. Part of the soul of the plant is also the form of the plant, the form.
