They're professors of religious studies. Some of them. But you got to take this on a case-by-case basis because when you're creating a conspiracy theory, you like things that are very vague.

Dozens and dozens of scholars over the years. Ann Taves, Hugh Urban, all kinds of people who study these things. Everyone that I've reached out to, they're like, hey, how's it going? Sure, you can ask me questions. These people have no reason to talk to me. Why would, you know...

they've they're always will everybody that i've talked to has been totally willing to answer what were probably stupid quite uninformed questions for me and were totally nice i never sensed there was any conspiracy at all but they they're working in a in a discipline in which you lead with evidence and then come up with theories you don't come up with a theory and then look for evidence and i'm not but let's be clear i'm not accusing hillman or ruck of doing this but

Carl Ruck has made an enormous contribution to the humanities. Without him, as Chris Bennett told me, you wouldn't be able to write a PhD thesis on these things. He is a pioneer in this, and what he's done is enormously creative. But nobody's going to be right. Everybody now that may seem right in 50 years or a bunch of it will probably be wrong.

As Richard Knowles says of this type of scholarship, we wash each other's diapers. They'll contribute a little bit. Then the next generation, that was a bunch of shit. You wash it off and you start again. It's a long process. What you have to be careful for is when people combine these things with political and theological agendas. I don't care that Graham Hancock's made a bunch of money. Great.
