Beyond the Blockchain 7-16-24 panel discussion on impact of Trump attack on marketplace, conspiracy theories
Welcome to Beyond the Blockchain with Scott Tindall, a discussion of blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, and why it matters to you. Hey folks, welcome into the show. It's Tuesday night and that means Beyond the Blockchain. As always, we're joining Philip on the board. Hi there. Keeping us in the middle, Johnny Gwen, the Johnny Gwen, JG, here in studio with us. Howdy. We'll have Sierra Catalina joining in from the New Jersey studio here shortly. It's been an interesting week. Obviously, we talk about cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, and emerging technologies like AI and machine learning on the show. But I think the topic that is most pressing that everyone seems like in the world is talking about is the attempted assassination of former President Trump. When we get new news every day and a little more information every day, one of the things I've learned from these kind of instances is you just can't make any decisions too quickly because the information changes so much and a lot of what we get. We don't know if it's real or if it's right or three months later, we find out that half the information we had was wrong. We never found out about Las Vegas, man. We still haven't. Right. We still haven't found out about Las Vegas. The point I was trying to make technology-wise is technology allows us to transmit information so fast, whether you're on X or Facebook or one of your other social media platforms, that the real stories often don't spread near as fast as fault stories. That's just one of the interesting parts of the world we live in with how technology integrates with our daily lives. So was that commercial real, the Black Rock commercial, or was that a deep fate? That's a good question. I don't know. For those that don't know, it's alleged that the shooter, the 20-year-old shooter, was in a Black Rock commercial. But for education, it was one of those nonsense corporate videos or corporate marketing things of see how he helps STEM in schools. And supposedly, he was a math whiz, supposedly, he was pretty smart, the shooter was pretty smart. But the thing was, I watched the thing, who would spend the time to make a deep fake of that? It was just a student sitting in a classroom. Was it probably just a weird coincidence? And I get the fact that it's a Black Rock thing, puts the aluma bot, the aluma knotty bot. Yeah. The bat signal of conspiracy theory just starts to roar. Because we needed more reason to have conspiracy theories about this. Well, and I have in my Bitcoin market roundup of Black Rock mentioned, and I always worry when I read anything from Black Rock, it's always like, "Ooh, it's Black Rock." I think you say it on the radio, you go on a list anyway. Well, look, Black Rock is a major hedge fund that has its tentacles, I will say tentacles, not fingers, and many things. And it's, you know, it's quite the idea of, you want to say, "What is the hidden hand?" They are definitely a hidden hand. I need to look it up. I saw this the other day, but Black Rock and two other companies own 88% of the S&P index. Sure. And they're gobbling up as much Bitcoin as they possibly can. There's many single-family housing units as they can as well. That's right. So Larry Fink, by the way, going into the Bitcoin of the week, news of the week. Yeah. Totally spent. Larry Fink, the CEO of Black Rock, which has not been a Bitcoin fan at all, even five years ago, he called it a scam and a hoax. He has now come out on one of the many alphabet network financial shows. And now he says that he was wrong five years ago and that Bitcoin is liquid gold. So it's a true liquid gold asset. Interesting. Yes. You know, new vice presidential candidate, JD Vance, is a Bitcoin advocate. That was part of another roundup, too. Oh, sorry, Johnny. Okay. No, but you opened up with what everybody's talking about anyway. I'll go back to that and say Trump, who is now, just like Larry Fink was five years ago, President Trump then was very anti-crypto. He has become very pro-crypto. They've already announced that he has gotten over $3 million in crypto donations to the campaign. And the other thing is, after the assassination attempt, there was, he's at a 77 percent chance now of winning the presidential election as of now. Is that like polymarket or one of the markets? Yeah. Yeah. Play market. And so you saw the stock market the last two days have had record days in this called the Trump bump. And all of these people are very, very, very bullish on Bitcoin right now. And then you had JD Vance is now the VP. He owns over a quarter million dollars in Bitcoin on Coinbase that we know of, not to mention a lot of coins that he has not said what he owns and NFTs. So he's a very pro-crypto. So the crypto market and the crypto industry is incredibly bullish right now with the future of crypto. And Trump is speaking in two weeks at the biggest Bitcoin conference in the world in Nashville. Well, I also saw that JD Vance owns over a quarter million dollars of Ripple. He is a big investor in a lot of other altcoins and also NFTs. Well, he's a tech guy. You're tech guy. Yes. All right, folks. When we head back. When we head back. When we head back. When we head back. When we head back. When we head back. When we head back. When we head back. When we head back. When we head back. When we head back. When we head back. When we head back. He's looking really. Welcome back to Beyond The Blockchain with Scott Tindall. Hey folks. Welcome back into the show you're listening to Beyond The Blockchain. In the first segment, we talked a little bit about the news of the day. I'm glad no one heard that segment in between the segments because we probably would be in jail. Yeah. They got a dicey there for a minute. I think the NSA probably heard it though because they hear everything. Well, I don't. Yeah, I'm sure. Well, we have we have funds that are on in here. So they definitely heard it. Well, all the really Phil did was just send us to commercial. It's not like the mics were off. Well, I mean, but the world hopefully terrestrial radio did not hear what we just thought. No, no. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Okay. All right. I mean, we didn't say anything that would get us an FCC violation. No. But we did say things that would get us on certain lists. We might get a knock at the door that said hello, I would like to introduce myself. I'm a G man. You see these handy dandy fingers right here? If they're down, nothing's going on over the air. Oh, yeah. It's good enough. Keep it on those fingers. Keep it on those fingers. It's just good. It's just good logic for life. So if I want to pot us up and we can talk to some people like on the timeline, I take this out of program, pot them up and then they hear us only that way and then one on the air here. Now you understand. There you go behind the scenes. People live right behind the curtain. Oh, yeah. I'm watching out for you. Don't worry. See her, are you with us tonight? I am. We are having some crazy weather in New Jersey right now. You guys know the scene for the lightning scene from War of the World? Oh, yeah. That's what it looks like outside my house right now. Oh, well, we had, well, but we get a lot of rain down here. We had some wicked light lightning today, lightning today and last night, and my dogs were real happy last night. So here, I don't know if you know this, but mobile gets more inches of rain than any other city in America. So Seattle gets more days of rain, but we get more inches and snow, they get snow too. We don't get snow here. We get buckets and buckets and buckets and buckets every, every 10 years we get a little bit. Um, Sierra, you'll find this interesting. Every time I say your name, my phone pops up thinking I said Siri and it's trying to get me to find out. I bet she knows that in real life. Yeah. Do you deal with that? Yeah. Well, I'm not a knife on person. Um, however, this is a common occurrence with my friends, so you're not the first one to tell me that or they'll be on the phone with me and be like, not you, Siri. Yeah. Well, my phone keeps looking at me, so that makes sense. I feel better now. I cast. I tried to cast the woman on a radio spot that did the voice for Siri. Yeah. I cannot remember her name. I swear. It didn't work out. She wasn't way too much money. I remember an interview that she gave. So when she did the voice for Siri, they actually didn't tell her what it would be for. She was just a paid voice. Interesting. That's how they kept the retail. Uh, yeah, probably a number of things and then so it didn't launch until a couple of years later and I caught this interview with her like sharing how, uh, the price turned her family were to find out that that was what her voice was being used for. She's like, I should have renegotiated this deal. Hey, uh, Sarah. They did say pretty much that. Yeah. Sarah, do you think they did some type of replication thing for her voice where she probably did like a thousand words and they figured out probably crudely back then or do you think she probably recorded all the different prompts? You know, uh, that's a great question. Probably some combination of the two, I would say it was probably like 70 to 80% prerecorded at least. Uh, but we definitely had voice module training then. Yeah. That's how we got Alexa and Google and speaking of, um, Siri going off when my name is said, I read recently that, uh, incidents of people choosing to name Alexa for their child has gone down. Oh, like, yeah, that makes sense. Tremendously. Yeah. Alexa, eat your breakfast. Would you like me to eat for breakfast? Yes. Well, do we know if Alexa was a very popular name, by the way, I don't know what we're going to do. Okay. Well, not Alexis. Hey, so I just think of the about names. I don't know if it's true or not. It was on Wikipedia, which anybody can change. And it was like JD Vance and it was his actual name, you know, it was his, you know, his actual name. No, I don't. Let's just say it's John David. Yeah. Okay. My first yes. Someone says on his birth certificate, it says, just dance, Vance. I really hate the dance. He was born to like meth addicts and I really, really garbage people possibly could be true. Look, his whole story is, I mean, he came from like literally the trailer, like the trailer park of trailer parks. Yeah. Well, I mean, we demanded to see President Obama's birth certificate and this demand to see this guy is just dance fans. And I was like, just dance, Vance, this has no answers. I hope it is true. Maybe it's in this book. All right. Here you go, guys. Alexa was the 32nd most popular name in 2015 as of 2022. It was 536th, the lowest since 1985. I'll definitely call that a bear market. So yeah, the name Alexa has dropped off the charts. Hey, that's like my portfolio. I had like a, I had a, I had a top 30 portfolio in 2020, 2020, early part of 2021. Now I, it would even make, oh my God, so look, I, I used to own 30 coins. I don't know. Maybe three now. I've just got rid of everything. Crypto, I, I, I, well, I had to get off kookoy number one because you cannot operate in the United States. And I couldn't figure out my VPN very well, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, so everything had to go. And roughly I meant about four coins now, mostly Bitcoin heavy. Yeah, I think I'm three. Yeah. Um, Sierra, we were talking earlier today and you came across this really cool concept of the way AI is going to impact education. And I believe you were telling me it's from a guy who used to work at one of the large tech companies. Right? Yeah. So Andre Carpathi, who headed up the computer vision department that is what makes Tesla's full self-driving vehicles, full self-driving announced today that he is starting an AI vision education company called Eureka Labs, and they're building a new kind of school that's AI native. Um, so I'm really excited about this Carpathi is an absolute genius, and it looks like it's going to be a digital platform, not a whole lot more information and has, has been released about it yet. Um, but the teacher, there, there will be a human teacher that will still design the course materials, uh, but they're for now, uh, but they're supported and leveraged and skilled with an AI teaching assistant who is optimized to help guide the students through the lesson science, um, in a very personalized custom, hatred, uh, way, so that's exciting to me. I talked about this a lot and how much potential is AI offers the, the education sector for the personalized learning and to allow students to move more at their own pace, because standard education is, well, it's outdated down, right, it was built, it's outdated, it was built for a specific reason to train factory. Yeah, for Prussian children to become good soldiers. Yeah. And the 18th century. Yeah, we were, we were looking to create a, um, a society of generalists, and that is exactly what standardized education does is it creates generalists, but we're moving into an era where we're going to need less generalists and far more experts and AI offers a lot of potential there to allow students to lean into things that they're intrinsically interested in and, um, good at and, and perhaps maybe not as much in the things that they're not interested in, uh, I think it'll allow them to gain deeper knowledge of topics much faster if they can move at their own pace. Yeah, I agree completely. This is fascinating to me. Um, my first career before I, I went off to graduate school and I got a lot of degree was actually being a high school teacher. And I can't tell you how much I would have appreciated some AI assistance in teaching. Teaching is such an overwhelming profession as it is. But the second part of that is I have three daughters who have varied interest and the idea that they can use AI to pursue their own varied interest, but like on their own time, uh, because they're very inquisitive, uh, is really interesting to me. And what I think our listeners need to know is you can like AI or dislike AI is kind of like in the 90s. You can't dismiss it. It's right. You can't dismiss it. It's kind of like in the 90s. Do I like email or do I not like email? What doesn't matter? You're going to end up with an email address. When you go to work, they give you an email address. When you go to work going forward, you're going to be integrating with AI. So your preference is largely irrelevant. If you want to be successful in this world, you're going to have to embrace it. Well, that's why you go to Luddite University. If you don't like all that, you go to a place that, but my question is with the AI learning and the learning programs and the, and the modules they create, what's the name of Elon Musk's Tesla's robot? Is it optimal? Optimists? Optimists. When are we going to, when are we going to have optimists in front of a classroom teaching instead of teachers? Well, I think instead of getting the actual robot, you'll just get a virtual like hologram on it. Yeah, but I think it would be interesting as heck to have an actual creature up there teaching. And also, they're not going to have a problem with shortages of teachers if you do that. Yeah, but somebody's going to have to beat the kids when they don't behave. That's why you have that scary thing up there, like Terminator that says you listen to me or I'm going to rip your textbook. It'll be like the boys be like Homeland or just laser your eyeballs out. It is interesting. Look, I'm sure someone's going to try to do a pilot school to have to and I think it'd be fascinating to see how that works. I think some students will gravitate to that more than others. And I think some will. Some will, correct. Yeah. Maybe it's kind of like charter schools, right? So schools should be differentiated by the child. Yes. The self-stalkers should not be in the same room with the bell curve student. Yeah, should not be. And that's okay. Yeah. As long as everybody gets an equal. Or they should be in the same room as them, but they shouldn't be learning the same. The same speed, right? The same way. I think that that is really the beauty of the opportunity that AI driven curriculum offers students is you can have them in the same room. In fact, I would encourage us to maybe increase the age range of which students sit in the same room. Like, why can't you have nine-year-olds, 10-year-olds, and 11-year-olds all in the same room. But they're working on personalized curriculum and they can help each other, too. That's little house in the prairie. You know, the way it used to be was you had the eighth grader and the first grader all in the same school house. What's interesting to me is you look at, like, the early days of Apple, Macintosh. Macintosh could not find a foothold in the consumer market, but they sure made their way in the education market. I was wondering why VR, VR, it's having a hard time finding its place in the consumer market. They should just only like specialize in education and find that niche with AI, VR, and automation. So I think there's some pretty interesting VR work being done in the medical field. Oh, definitely. It's for trying surgeons and physicians. I think part of the VR issue right now is just the cost is still too high. Yeah, but Macintosh is worth $5,000 a piece in the '80s, too. Right. Which is why it's good for medical students today and maybe in the future it's good for biology students... Look, we live in a government that prints its own money. They're telling me they can't put 10,000 units in it. That's not why, that's not why, that's why. So we don't know the long-term effects on eyesight, but long-term exposure to VR technologies. And it's going to be a lot of years before we figure that out because it's so new. Well, it hasn't stopped us from keeping our phones in our pockets for, you know, 20 hours a day. Right. We do have screen-time limitations as recommended by the American Pediatric Society for different age ranges of kids and that's because their eyes are still developing. And the difference with VR and a screen that you can hold is the distance from your eyeballs. Right. So... Well, Elon says that Neuralink's going to be able to fix our vision anyway. So really, we're just talking about a temporary issue, right? Well, I'm still saying tonight, it's going to be a long time for I put a USB jack at the bottom of my spot, the bottom of my head. Yep, yep, yep. Oh, we're just sticking around tonight. I just need some help. The last Neuralink update he talked about giving humans pretty much superpowers. Oh, yeah. After the break, Sierra. I'm going to be signing up a lot faster than I thought. Sierra, after the break, I won't, we're about to get a break here in a second. After the break, I want to talk about the latest Neuralink update and also our local celebrities, Sierra. That's right. The question's answered by the Neuralink panel. So can we talk about that when we come back? Absolutely. Awesome. We're going to go to commercial break. When we come back on Beyond the Blockchain, Sierra is going to tell us all about the updates in Neuralink. Welcome back to Beyond the Blockchain with Scott Tindall. Hey folks, welcome back into the show. You're listening to Beyond the Blockchain, and Johnny and I during the break. Once again, we'll have the radio audience getting to hear our conversation because that would put us on a second list. Sierra, before the break, we were talking about the Neuralink update, and Johnny said he wouldn't stick one into his spine, and you said you're going to be one of the first ones to do it. Tell us what happened in the Neuralink update and BR star celebrity and set the page for people to say what we're talking about. You do it. It's a press conference on X. Sure. Absolutely. So the Neuralink team held a live video based on the X platform with Elon and four other members of the Neuralink team and gave an update on the first human recipient of the chip and also some things to come and kind of what to expect in the near and long-term future. It was a really excellent update. They took QA questions from the audience of the live stream, and they actually took three of my questions, which one of them was boring. I'm not going to bore everyone once, it was very technically specific and stuff that nobody really cares about. But they introduced or announced their next product launch. So the current human patient that has the first chip implant, that product is called telepathy. It allows the user, who is a quadriplegic, to control his computer with his mind. And he also provides a lot of updates on the X platform on his progress with it. It's great. And now I believe his username is the modded quad, but let me double fix. I'll try and go find that for you. You can carry on. I'll go try and find this handle. Thanks. Sorry. I'll just have to say that. But I do have it, and I'll find it. So they introduced their next product called blind sight, which will do exactly what it sounds like, which is restore sight to the blind. And Elon talked about being able to fully restore vision to those who have entirely lost their vision or never had it, even if they have complete destruction of the octet nerve, which is truly incredible. And that's been successfully tested in monkeys. That's incredible. I don't think people realize how impactful and how groundbreaking that is. If I had a disability, and of course, I would say try anything on planet to have sight, to have hearing, to have whatever the whole thing. Can you get a Riz transplant? A what? Get some Riz? I don't know what that is. It's a charisma. Yeah. It's what the kids call charisma. Well, look, let Sierra finish her story because there wasn't a whole lot of questions. There wasn't a whole lot of questions, and Sierra got three questions on that. Yeah. I think she was like 30% of the press conference, but Sierra, I didn't mean to interrupt you. It's okay. Yeah. I couldn't believe how many of my questions they took. I was really lucky. I just got them in at the right time, I guess. One of the questions I asked was just about battery life, which right now, and how the product charges because I was very curious, like it's fully implanted in his brain. Like there's nothing protruding from his body. He's made a full recovery. Do you have like a charging pad you sit on? Like your phone. Kind of. They actually, in the answer to my question, they came up with the idea that they might maybe launch a pillow that has a charger in it, but right now what Nolan uses is a beanie hatch that has like a charger port in it, and it is wireless, just like our phones are. That's good for his brain. Yeah. And he. We'll find out. Yeah. We will find out. That's why it's experimental. Yeah. That again, now that's the part that is so exciting to me. That's why I love following Sierra on X is because she posts a lot of AI information and a lot of robotics information and she shows a lot of videos where people who need an arm and a hand and these things are absolutely fascinating and what, I mean, these hands that operate as good or better than the hands that we actually have. Certainly stronger. Right. Right. Yeah. The, the advancement in bionic has, or prosthetics, which have become bionic where there's actual connection to the nerve root and people can just think to open and close their hand the way that you are. I use our hands. It's truly tremendous and that was a really great segue. We'll skip around a little because actually we won't skip around. So my second question that was taken and answered was regarding potential teleoperation integration with optimists in the future. I was wondering if people who have the neural link chip could theoretically use it to control an optimist bot with their thoughts, which was confirmed that basically anything with a Bluetooth signal is what, you know, unset an optimist will have a Bluetooth signal, but anything with a Bluetooth signal could theoretically be controlled via the chip and even went on. He then went on to say that they might potentially in the future take optimists's robotic appendage technology and create bionic prosthetics and things that are connected to the chips. So for those who have limb loss, et cetera, they could get an optimist arm that operates via the the neural link chip and it will almost feel like they're a appendage. So that's pretty absolutely insane. He used the word cybernetic beings. We're going to, it's coming. We're going to be cybernetic beings. It's sci-fi come to life, but obviously it's a not in my lifetime, but I'm going to quit saying that because I keep saying things I won't say in my lifetime and I have been really wrong in the last five years. Well, especially considering that we're going to be able to increase your lifespan tremendously through medical advancements in the next ten minutes. Well, not me. I'm poor. I won't be able to do that. Let me drop one thing in here. Yeah. My dad, a number of years ago now, he passed away in 2020. He got a brain pacemaker, but he had essential tremors for Parkinson's. Exactly. And that, well, that's pretty much a predecessor of what, what neural link is because that's how the operate operated on a Wi-Fi signal going from his trigger to his brain. Yeah. I saw that years and years ago and 60 minutes and watched someone who could not hold a glass and they put that in his, in his treatment, this, this electric charge in his brain and within five seconds, his hand was as still as it could be. Now, it didn't work for every Parkinson's. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They had to be a certain type of patient. That blew me away. I have a blood pressure machine that's brand new and will not hook to any Bluetooth thing. That would be the neural link that I get. It would not connect the Bluetooth. That's why I don't want that because I would be the one that says, I've got this amazing thing that nothing connects to. You're going to have to be tethered. You're going to be like a home phone that's got a curly cord connected to it. And my man over here behind the board, Phillip knows exactly what I'm talking about. When you are in the audio world, you want a cord and a connection. You do not want Bluetooth because if something don't work, I want you to be able to plug it, unplug it and plug that sucker back in. I'm telling you, I cannot, look, Bluetooth is great until there's a problem. I can't fix any of that. I wouldn't, I don't even have dreams to do with it. So, sorry. That's my, my, my, my. Yeah. They actually, they had a minor, um, not problem, but I would say unforeseen circumstance with the first live patient where, um, without boring everyone with the super technical details, there are essentially, um, pins with, with threads inside of the devices implanted into the brain and then the pins have to make contact with certain parts of the brain in order for it to work. And during recovery, uh, because the brain expands, uh, during brain surgery and they actually do it on purpose, it belongs to me, but shrink back down. Uh, two of the, the pins weren't making proper contact and he didn't have full functionality, but they were able to, uh, locate which pins it was that, uh, wasn't making proper contact and actually threw like an over the air software update. They were able to update the way that his ship route data to his brain and it works fully functional now, uh, that's pretty cool. Well, and then God bless someone who is the guinea pig for that cause again, this is all, this is all a trial and error. Yeah. There's no innovation without, you know, hopefully he, he, they can fix things. It's bad when we can't, but my goodness, the, the ability to have someone that's willing to do that is fantastic. And, and Sierra, did, Elon, not Elon must not, did he put out a call for more people who were willing to be part of this trial, this R&B experiment. Oh, yeah. So that was included in the, the, okay, is they are ready to expand. I mean, the, the first live patient, it's gone swimmingly, uh, and Nolan to himself talks about how much it is truly enriched his life. I mean, he was Roger Holyduck and, and immobile and uneven paralyzed from the neck down. So unable to do anything for himself. That's amazing. Amazing. All right, folks. We got to go to a break. When we come back from the break, Johnny's going to tell us about what his favorite conspiracy theory is. Sierra, you got one too. Right. You have one, Sierra. Oh, I got many. I already won. Fantastic. See you in a minute, folks. Welcome back to Beyond The Blockchain with Scott Tindall. Hey folks. Welcome back into the show. You listen to Beyond The Blockchain, but fill up on the boards. The Johnny Gwen in studio and Sierra Catalina in the New Jersey studio. Right. WNSP North. East. East. But she's North. Northeast. East. She, dude. She's North. Yeah. Definitely North of us. I mean, I'm North, I'm North of you. Yes. So what part of New Jersey do you live in? No, don't say that on the radio. No, I mean, not exactly. Like is it country or city? It's fairly large. I live in South Jersey. Oh, yeah. It's huge. Huge. Right next to Philly. Right next to Philly. Right next to Philly. Yeah. Just outside of Philadelphia. Yeah. And that's all the meant was like country or city because you know, there's the pie here. Our great friend, Dan Brin, who hosts the morning show on this station is from Peaburg, which is right across the river from you. I can give it away too much, man. You're doxing her. You're doxing her. You're doxing her. Huh? Peaburg. You're not that it's a big river. That's in me. All right. I actually don't know where that is. So it can't be too close. No, yeah. Yeah. Listen, I think if you were it was, I'd be more concerned. It sounds like a real metropolitan, too. According to Dan, it's the type of place you don't want to grow up because you got to learn how to fight when you're like 18 months old. It's like JD Vance. Kind of like JD Vance. There you go. Everything's full circle tonight. Yes, it is. All right. Beyond Beyond the Blockchain. All right. See here, we're going to put Johnny on the spot first. Johnny. Yeah. What is your favorite is the wrong word? What is your most interesting conspiracy theory? So that's put a disclaimer in front of this. I am an amateur conspiracy theorist, paranormal investigator and parallel political commentator. So I had many in my brain, but my favorite one and it has to be with a situational situation. When I'm at a dinner table and I'm stuck next to some people or somebody who is insufferable, I just cannot deal with and they're talking politics or religion or whatever, I will steer my way into conspiracy theories and let them start. And then I will give mine to get them to where they leave me alone. And my favorite one is birds aren't real for me with this one. That is by far because and I will go all in. Yes. Yes. Well, every bird is a surveillance device that somebody, the government or Illuminati or somebody is recording everything and watching us and I will go all in and eventually the insufferable people will stop talking to me. That is my favorite one to come from. Birds aren't real is by far and it gets you can write books on this theory. They have a great website too. It's unbelievable how good it is. I can confirm this is a widely adapted belief. And my favorite is when I get a pin out and I start drawing on the napkin how it works. That is my favorite thing. That's just another level. You're like, that's our mission. Showing diagrams. At that point they've had enough and they leave. Well, that's fair. I like it. Sarah, what about you? You've got a, you've got a most interesting. And how to get out of the bad day. I'm going to borrow that. That's a good one. Have a pin ready and have that, the drawing is what they lose it. They lose it on the drawing. I mean, they've already upset with you, but that points the check please in security. They're ready for you to go away. Oh my gosh, it's hilarious. Oh man, Sarah, do you have any of your interesting conspiracy theories out there? You know, what's tough is that like all, I have my, all my, and ended up being true in all that. We talked about it. Be careful because things have come, that's more true than it would be theory. Yeah. It's just conspiracy hasn't been proven yet. Or it's been, it's come to pass. Come on. You have to have one though that you just sit in your brain and go, that has a real possibility. I guess it's all right, all right, ancient aliens built a pyramid. Oh yeah. I'm on board with that one. 100%. But like also, probably not a conspiracy. I don't know. I think that we're going to find out in like the next 10 or 15 years, hopefully. I think technology will have caught up with us and is to research those mega lists in a way that we never could before, but it's definitely a rabbit hole. I love to get lost down because it is fascinating. So I'm 50/50 on this one. Okay. My 50% is ancient aliens built the pyramids or humans from the future went back in time and built the pyramids. Now, we still have the time travel paradox. Yeah. But I'm not convinced that the visitors we get are all not humanoids of the future who were like descendants of us. They're soul harvesting. That's another great. That's my favorite alien theory is that it's probably just us in the future, like the tic tac and stuff. And when we see things just defy the laws of physics, as we understand them, it's like, well, there's nothing to say that it's not us. Maybe it's not right now. Remember that movie I told you all to watch. Yeah, time war. That's how time war. Oh, yeah. I went and watched it. Oh, so real quick, adding to the aliens or just the future, our future is coming back. Okay. I'll go one up because of AI and cybernetics that we're going back around. Okay. Neuralink with it. Yeah. So far in the future that what this is a theory called soul harvesting. Aliens are soul heart being us in the future or so far ahead. And then somewhere along the way, we became so cyber. We lost our humanity and lost our soul and we're coming back to harvest. That's why we abduct people to try to extract what we think is a soul to bring back humanity to this cyber human we've created in the future. Yeah. I don't like it. I don't. That's cause it's so harvest. So harvest the future. Yeah. I've heard about that. I'm not googling soul harvesting. Yeah. I'm on enough. I'm on enough. Oh, yeah. Sorry. I was thinking about, I'm sorry. Go ahead. Yeah. Well, they need a rebrand. Yes. They're harvesting while a good band name. It's not good. Swedish death metal. Yes. Philip, do you have a favorite conspiracy theory? Of course he does. Oh, I was just thinking about rashes of like, like their advancements like quantum leaps in the human intuition, the brain and the possibility that the human brain operates on wavelengths. Like you can map the genome, but you don't really see the wavelengths the human mind operates on. It may actually operate on space fold times, teeny tiny, those pinhole wormholes, like the pinhead black holes, and it's actually operating on wavelengths across the universe. Oh, right. Electromagnetic energy is actually it across the entire universe simultaneously. It's so much faster than pure electron light that simultaneously across the entire universe. And I think what happens is that the brain, it's like evolution, this will happen for a little while, and then go away. And I think there could have been a rash of telepathic people during the pyramids that actually used telepathy to move the rocks, and then they all died off. And the next generation didn't have that. So that was a episode of Deep Space Nine with Sartrecht. I'm sure of. Every theory I have. Well, again, I've probably been covered by black mirror. But here's the thing. If you're going to write science fiction, why would you not look at theories to build on something? It's like, oh, there's a theory in it. Let's see how it'd be in practice that it would give you the ability to write the story much faster by taking something that's already kind of thoughtfully enough. Well, months kind of come from the X files, the dark matter story. Oh, yeah. It actually came out of the dark matter, because the dark matter can like block up your, like, you're receiving frequency through all the time of full space. Well, here comes all this dark matter, and it actually clogs it up. So you wind up dumbed down. And that's how this rash of telepathy ends is you kind of get dark matter clogged in your brain, and it blocks off some of those receptors that you had, and you have to clear the way the dark matter blockage to re-establish those lost links. The God gene, basically, it's just picking up frequencies from all over the universe, and that's what the God gene is for. That's where Nikolai Tesla figured things out, and he was getting messages from pinhole worm holes, pin-sized wormholes. I will say, I was listening to late night. I love late night radio. Yeah, of course. I am a child of Art Bell, I loved Art Bell, the old coast to coast, George Norrie coast to coast is not near as good as the old Art Bell stuff, but I do listen to this one that's called Clyde Lewis. It used to be on the station, I think, on ground zero. I was listening late last night, and I missed the first part of the, it was about the assassination attempt. And they ended up saying that, actually, the theory was, Donald Trump is a time traveler. And I didn't get far enough into it, and they ended the show, and I was like, "Donald Trump is a time traveler." I know how we're starting next week. How is that not a hole? You lay that in the light like we're doing tonight. We've got to go. You don't lay that in the last 30 seconds of a show. Well, we're going to that next week. I'll be on the blockchain. [MUSIC]
