And the interconnectivity that we're achieving through technology is going to advance our ability to understand each other. And it's going to advance our ability to communicate. And it's going to force us to come up with some sort of a new way to share resources.
Obviously, the biggest resource for me is food and is water.

Well, for everyone. But then we have everything else. That's the one thing you absolutely need for survival. You need fossil fuels because of the way society is engineered. That's why you need fossil fuels, because we've gone in that way. This is the real suspicion about ancient civilizations is that they figured out a way, a different way to achieve great results. Like ancient Egypt.

To this day, we have no idea how they did that. How did they make those pyramids? How did they do it? How did they do it at the very least 4,500 years ago? Many people suspect that's far older than that. I'm one of them. I think civilization has been around a long, long time, and I think there's been catastrophes, and there's a lot of physical evidence that point to those catastrophes.

But the idea is that at one point in time, So our technology has evolved in a very specific path. Our technology has been the Industrial Revolution, the invention of the internal combustion engine, electronics, and all these things have led us to this incredible level of sophistication that we enjoy now that's so much different than people that lived just 200, 300 years ago.

My suspicion is that the people of Egypt, the people of Turkey, there's a lot of other places in the world. They achieved very similar levels of sophistication with completely different methods that are lost, that are lost in history. And we know for a fact that there was an immense – This is the catastrophe that's written in the Bible. This is the epic of Gilgamesh. This is Noah's Ark.

This is so many cultures share these stories of a great civilization that was wiped out by a great catastrophe. And science now believes that that is the Younger Dryas period. The Younger Dryas impact theory is this theory that we were hit by comets somewhere around 11,800 years ago. And it essentially wiped civilization out, brought us back to baseline again.
