So it's like you would show a care for your former self or for your former...

You know, it doesn't have to be you from the future.

It can be, like, you know, your species or whatever.

And if you think about, like, North Sentinel Island or a super remote pygmy tribe.

So, like, North Sentinel Island is this island off the coast of India, and they've basically, like, they don't know the rest of the world exists.

Like, they exist, like, literally on a complete island.

They're protected.

They have protected status under the Indian government.

A couple of missionaries tried to go there in the early 20th century, and they got, like, shot with arrows.

And...

For all we know, the North Sentinelese have, like, a myth of aliens encountering them, right?

Where they're, like, talking about, like, these missionaries, like, you know, they were pale and they looked like us, but not fully like us, you know?

And...

They might think that they're from some other star system, but Occam's Razor, you know, the easiest, shortest path explanation is definitely that they're related to you.

If they look like you and they're showing up in proximity to you, they show a care about your survival.

You know, in certain cases when the gamete collection occurs with these abduction cases, so, you know, Barney Hill, which we talked about.

He reluctantly, you know, it's very embarrassing to admit because this was the 60s and this was a very repressed version of America.

He admitted that, you know, semen samples were taken from him.

And so then you get into these weird speculation about like, are we in this like intergenerational breeding program?

Because sometimes the communications between the beings and the humans are like, you know, we experienced a nuclear holocaust and we need to renew our biodiversity or, you know, yeah, things aren't looking great on our planet.
