What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Did you see what just happened?
No, I was right behind you.
I'll arrange for an apartment presentation tomorrow. Oho, oho. Swim like Sato. Rent your life at home. sato.fi Today I'm talking with Danny Goeller. A few years ago, Danny was on DMT when a being that looked like a frog appeared in his room and taught him guitar chords he didn't know how to play. That's when he became sure DMT beings are real.
The Anunnaki engineered the human race and built the pyramids, not even reassigned to remote guitar lessons? What's next, conversational Portuguese? Nil point?
So he spent years trying to prove it. Eventually, he shined a cheap red laser at the wall and saw symbols.
A red laser reveals the source code of reality.
What unusual experience did Danny Goler have while on DMT?
Every cat on Earth has been chasing that thought for decades. Turns out the vicious little hell beasts were reading human. We gotta stop them. We could be setting up the planet of the cats. Damn you. Damn you all to hell.
He calls it the code of reality. Now thousands of strangers have tried it and seen the same code. Today we're covering whether reality is a simulation, his cosmology, and how free will might really work.
If this is a simulation, I'd like to lodge a complaint. The graphics on my fishbowl haven't gotten a single update since I moved in.
Oh, complaints go in the circular file. And the console, a holographic control panel that opens up in his living room, or any room every time he smokes DMT. And other people have seen this console. It's wild. This conversation gets deep. Probably too deep for me. But after we talk, I'll come back, I'll break down what I can, I'll verify what I can, and I'll also tell you what I couldn't verify. Let's go down to the basement. Danny Goeller, welcome to the basement. Thank you so much for having me. It's an honor. Boy, I don't know where to begin. Actually, I do. I have a lot of questions for you.
How did Danny Goler discover the 'code of reality'?
I'm excited that you're here. First, what is it like when you're on national television in American Ninja Warrior, and you're jumping for the monkey peg, and you don't land it. What's going through your mind?
Oh, honestly, that one, I didn't feel bad at all because that year, for some weird reason, that first obstacle where you spin with the thing, it took out most veterans. So I basically, I was one of the finalists. I actually came to Vegas that year. Oh, yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the funny thing is that later... uh i i spoke to some climbers and i had no idea i didn't even train for this thing and they told me dude you need to lock your elbows and i had no idea and apparently you know locking your elbows is the secret but i was just hanging from my dear life from the beginning so i was if you look at that footage i was holding to like could hold no more like my fingers were still holding as i was falling
And the one thing that is a little disappointing in that is because the next obstacle was the last one, which was the Warped Wall, which for me is, back then, a parkour practitioner for years, I could do it in my sleep, like with my eyes closed. I could just climb it just by stepping up without even running. But I was still one of the finalists, which was fun. So yeah, Ninja Warrior was fun. I did a couple of years. You did a couple of years? Yeah.
So how do you go from... actor, parkour, free-running, filmmaker to exploring reality?
I took a lot of detours in life. Let's just call it that. I think I was always... It sounds very loaded, but I think I was born to be a physicist, probably, and I just never really completed school. But the way that I think and everything that I fold into my framework of the world... is i'm approaching everything in terms of what we can know and to what degree which is a very kind of like physicist way of thinking about it and obviously i'm not placing myself in the same category because what is required to actually be a physicist is way more than just an attitude it's also sitting your ass down for eight years and knowing things beyond you know um But so it's not really that weird that I found myself in this position to me.
