The subject of UAPs, UFOs, aerial phenomena, extraterrestrials have been coming up, has been coming up quite a bit over the past couple of years, but it seems to be getting crazier and crazier, and so there's a lot to discuss in this area.
Tucker Carlson recently had an interview with Catherine Austin Fitz, who said that there's deep underground military bases the U.S. government has been building, perhaps because of some potential catastrophic event.
Maybe it's a magnetic pole shift.
There was a major cell outage across Spain.
Weeks after the power went out, Puerto Rico lost power, fears of solar storms.
But at the same time, we're discussing all of these strange aerial phenomena.
We have talks of drones.
We have hearings in Congress about alien, let's call them non-human entities.
And let's not forget when Alex Jones claimed they were interdimensional beings that were communicating with powerful elites.
All of it sounds pretty crazy, but it's so much fun to talk about.
So we're going to.
And we are a little bit more serious on it.
We've got some congressional hearings that have happened and some claims that we'll discuss, not to mention the drone sightings across New Jersey and these Tic Tacs as well as other objects, some of which are still unexplained.
I'm your host, Tim Poole.
We've got a great panel of guests that are here with us.
Sir, would you like to introduce yourself first?
unidentified
Tony Merkel, host of the Confessionals podcast.
I make podcast episodes and documentaries.
tim pool
About aliens?
unidentified
A lot of things.
I interview people on their experiences with supernatural phenomenon.
I've been doing it for about eight years.
tim pool
We had a supernatural phenomenon here.
unidentified
What's that?
tim pool
I can't say.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
tim pool
I can't, but I want to...
I don't know how to stress this, that we had a...
This is a new building.
It was just built, so it's not a haunted thing.
It was just built, and for privacy reasons, we can't discuss what happened and who was affected by it, but it happened twice.
unidentified
Really?
tim pool
And everybody freaked out.
unidentified
Same thing happened twice?
tim pool
Same thing happened twice.
it's paranormal and everybody freaked out and everybody knows but again I wish I could go into deals but these are people's private experiences so I can't really say anything other than It's insane.
And it made us all question our reality.
unidentified
I love it.
tim pool
Yeah.
Yeah.
I wish I could speak on it publicly, but I can't because it's people's private lives, like very serious stuff.
But thank you for joining us.
It should be fun.
The rep is back.
eric burlison
Yep.
Good to be back.
Thank you.
tim pool
Who are you?
What do you do?
eric burlison
I'm Eric Burleson.
I'm the congressman from Southwest Missouri.
We call it God's country.
And I'm on transportation infrastructure.
I'm also on oversight.
My background is finance and computer software.
But yet, I work on a lot of policies, including Second Amendment bills, bills to deregulate, mostly business-related issues.
But yet, I'm always drawn into conversations about UAPs because I'm on the Oversight Disclosure Task Force for investigating JFK, the disclosure of JFK assassination files, the MLK.
Assassination, RFK, as well as the UAP topic.
tim pool
So it was aliens who killed JFK.
eric burlison
Now, I'm going to add to that list.
I'm going to make a request to our chair that we follow up on this allegation that there are deep underground military bases.
tim pool
Well, there are.
The question is how many, because we do know about, say, like Mount Weather and stuff like that, or the limestone cavern of government retirements that we learned about.
But thank you for joining us.
It should be fun.
We got Shane hanging out as well.
shane cashman
What's up, Tony?
It's a pleasure to be here with you.
I've done The Confessionals.
It's a great show, and you've been on some great hearings that I've been watching, and I'm really excited to talk about this today.
I'm Shane Cashman, the host of Inverted World Live, live on YouTube and Rumble on Sundays at 6 o 'clock, but going weekly, daily, I mean.
Pretty soon.
tim pool
Hopefully, I think in like a week or so, we'll get it nightly.
All right, everybody.
Before we get started, we've got a great sponsor.
It's AMAC.
Super cool to have AMAC sponsoring the show today.
That's amac.us slash timcast.
My friends, let's be honest.
Things are getting weird.
Not just this show, but the media is gaslighting you.
The government's overspending like crazy.
And if you question it, you're labeled a threat.
But if you're over 50 and still believe in common sense, you're not alone.
Right now, Trump is back in office and actually doing something.
He's fixing bad trade deals, exposing government waste.
He's pushing back on cultural decay, but he can't fix everything without people like you stepping up.
That's why AMAC matters.
AMAC is the non-woke alternative for Americans over 50. They stand for individual liberty, fiscal responsibility, and actual freedom, not the illusion of it.
It's just 16 bucks a year.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
You get a subscription to the AMAC magazine, access to real money-saving discounts.
You support a network that's pushing back against the insanity.
So join now at amac.us slash timcast.
Again, that's amac.us slash timcast.
You don't have to sit in the sidelines.
Be part of the solution.
Again, really do appreciate the sponsorship.
But let's get into the craziness today, I suppose.
So I did make a comment.
People are losing it over the, Tim, what are you talking about?
You had some kind of experience at the studio.
I can say one thing.
Poltergeist experience.
Twice.
And everybody was like, jaws hanging on the floor, freaked out by what happened.
And I would just say, I don't know how.
Maybe internet, like, you know, Alex Jones was speaking a while ago about interdimensional beings on Joe Rogan years and years ago.
Everybody's got a different way to describe.
Some type of experience with something that defies our understanding of physics.
How could objects move on their own?
Or doors open by the windows slide up?
The lights turn on and off?
Weird things.
For some of these, it's actually not a miracle.
If a light turned on with no power, it's like, I think you can do that with powerful blasts of EMF.
Electromagnetic waves can make something light up.
But there are some that...
And we've experienced them.
And so we, this makes you certainly question your reality.
Now again, like Alex Jones says, interdimensional beings.
Some people do DMT and they say like machine elves.
Something's beyond the veil interacting with the fabric of our reality.
Some say angels and demons.
I don't know.
All I can say is not to...
So I don't know where else you guys want to begin, though, in talking about these maybe non-human entities.
eric burlison
Well, first to comment on what you just said, I think just scientifically based, I think that the fact that we have quantum entanglement, that we've proven that quantum entanglement exists in and of itself, even from just a pure scientific perspective.
Is an admission that we live – I believe that our existence is the surface of a larger existence, if that makes sense.
Like we're living on a one dimension of a more complicated existence or creation.
tim pool
Yeah.
eric burlison
And so I think that that is patently – It's demonstrably proven through things like quantum entanglement.
And so the question is, what exists in the larger existence?
unidentified
What is that, right?
tim pool
Well, to throw it to what Alex Jones was saying, what was he saying?
Fifth dimensional beings?
Is that what he described them as?
shane cashman
I think so, yeah.
tim pool
There's this fun documentary that went viral 20 years ago called What the Bleep Do We Know?
Have you ever seen it?
No.
And it is kind of like new age hippy-dippy nonsense or whatever, but it is pretty good.
They talk about...
When you look down on them, they have no concept of up or down.
It doesn't exist.
They can't perceive it.
So if you have this two-dimensional space and there's this little Pac-Man moving around left and right, if you were to speak to him down at him, he would feel your voice from the center of his being emanating outward.
And that's a divine experience, which is fascinating because I've met people who've had those experiences and said they felt a voice come from within them and tell them things.
Can we hear about it?
eric burlison
Yeah, it's a weird story.
Driving to a donor meeting, and it was in my car, and suddenly I had this weird sensation.
It was almost like something wafted air really quickly past me while I was in a vehicle.
And I heard distinctly.
It wasn't like a voice, like a human voice, but it was clear.
I recognized it as a message that said, say yes.
So I go into this donor meeting, and I'm supposed to ask for a contribution.
We end up talking about stuff, and the individual said, he's like, you know more about my topic than a lot of the people that I work with in the finance industry.
And he said, I came here to write you a check, but I'd rather just see if you want to be a partner, honestly, after our conversation.
And I just at that moment, it was like, holy cow.
unidentified
Say yes.
eric burlison
I'm supposed to be the one saying yes.
I mean, normally you go and I was supposed to ask him for money.
He's supposed to say yes instead.
And so I felt like that was a radical move, like career change.
But that's my personal experience.
unidentified
You know, I've never heard an audible voice myself, but speaking of new buildings, when we moved to Tennessee, we had a brand new house.
And we've had weird things happening in that brand new house.
And some people say it's because of what I do, but it never happens around me.
It's always my family.
So I think one of the most strong stories that I have on that would be my wife was putting my two-year-old, I think at the time, down for a nap.
And she was laying in the bed with her, helping her go to sleep, middle afternoon.
My son, who I think was about five at the time, he's in the living room watching cartoons or something.
While my wife is laying there, she hears a voice behind her in a dimly lit room say, Mommy.
And she rolls over.
And there's nobody there.
She thought it was my son at first, but she's like, oh, maybe she heard him through the door or something.
So she gets my daughter down for a nap, and she walks out, and my son comes running over to her.
Our living room is right off a little hallway that has the bedrooms.
So where he was sitting, he could literally see my daughter's bedroom door.
He runs over to my wife, and he says, Mommy, something really scary happened while you were in there.
And she said, What?
And she said, Somebody from the hallway, right where they were at, said my name.
And so at the same time that she heard mommy, he heard his name whisper to him.
And it's like, I've never heard a vocalization like that, but it surely has happened in my own home.
tim pool
What if ghost phenomenon and things like this, it's actually just time as we know it, sometimes if you view it as a dimensional plane,
And so I'm imagining this scenario where if there's like this point where the fabric of reality just like lightly touches it and moves and passes through, there's a dude and this is why hauntings happen in old houses because they were there long enough for this interaction to have occurred.
So let's say there's a house.
It's 1800.
And there's like this guy, and he's standing in the hallway going upstairs, and all of a sudden he sees this man wearing strange clothes he can't explain.
And they both look at each other, and then the man screams.
And then he goes and tells everybody, this place is haunted.
I saw a demon or something.
Then everyone writes down how the house is haunted.
Then 200 years later, a guy shows up.
He's going through the hallway of the haunted house, and he turns, and he sees a man from the 1800s standing right before him who screams, and he says, it's true!
And really what happened is they both briefly had the timelines flash past each other.
unidentified
You're kind of describing what you were talking about with just the physics.
What do we not know about time and how that operates?
I mean, what you're describing and then taking the story that I just shared, it really could be something where we've been there for three years.
At some point, I'm sure myself, my wife.
And the same thing, I know for a fact, my son goes in the room, sneaks up a mom and goes, mommy, you know, trying to be quiet.
So that's an interesting theory for sure.
shane cashman
I go through time.
But then yours would be different.
What was your interpretation?
Was it like divine?
eric burlison
I felt like it was divine.
It was providential, yeah.
shane cashman
Other people would say, not yours, because it doesn't sound demonic, but other people hear it.
Like the C.S. Lewis book, Screwtape Letters, is about demons whispering in people's ears, and I believe that happens.
DC.
tim pool
But what if it's scarier than that?
And what if these are aliens?
shane cashman
That's also possible.
tim pool
What if, you know, because I think, you know, again, Alex Jones is talking about interdimensional beings that are sending guidance to elites, telling them what to do.
What if aliens, as people believe them to be, are actually interdimensional, and that explains how they're able to travel vast – It explains why we can't see.
It explains how we're like, how do you travel a billion light years?
eric burlison
We don't.
tim pool
It's through space-time or whatever, through dimensions.
And what if these are not necessarily smarter, but more advanced entities that are controlling the flow of our existence for their own ends?
shane cashman
Yeah, an interdimensional thing was like a meme with Alex Jones, but then your colleague, Rep Luna.
I think a year or two ago, literally came out and said, I don't know if she believed in it or she had proof that there were interdimensional beings.
unidentified
She definitely stated it.
shane cashman
Yeah, I'm like, whoa.
eric burlison
So in the very first hearing, the witness, the big whistleblower, David Grush, in his report that he gave to us, and I read it beforehand, and that struck me the most out of his report, was that he said one of the theories is that what we're experiencing is aliens are.
Are interdimensional.
And so in the hearing, I had five minutes, I asked him that question, can he drill into that?
And it was interesting.
It was really an interesting topic.
And it does, because my contention was, look, I understand that there's the probability of life being somewhere in this universe that's so vast.
But I also think the probability goes the other way, too.
The universe is so vast.
What are the odds, given traditional space-time travel, knowing that, you know, under Einstein's theory, nothing really can exceed the speed of light through conventional space-time?
What are the odds that that other life that exists somewhere in the vast universe, of all the places that it could go, it chooses to come here?
Third rock from the sun?
Right?
Like, that, to me, is also improbable.
tim pool
Well, you see, here's the sad reality is all – there's thousands of different intelligent species.
They exist all over the universe, interdimensionally and otherwise.
They're all aware of the existence of God and each other except us because we're reality TV for them.
They're just entertained by it.
eric burlison
That's why they care about – We're a Netflix series.
tim pool
Exactly.
They're like, let's just watch these people.
Everybody knows everything, so it's boring.
shane cashman
Do you think we have remains of these?
Like when they say non-human entities or biologics, do you think we have in our possession?
eric burlison
I definitely think there was a crash retrieval program.
What they picked up, whether it was adversaries or us, our military experimental stuff.
One of the recent whistleblowers that came out, Jake Barber, said that he was part of the crash retrieval program.
up was clearly, you know, just either drones or whatever.
But then they had a few incidents where they picked up something that he said was non-human intelligence.
But what I will say is in my pursuit and trying to get to the bottom of all this, I've yet to have anybody show me anything.
Yeah.
Look, I think that people can have their personal perspective and that they want to testify.
I'm not doubting that anybody's wrong.
I'm just saying, you can say that you had that experience and that you saw that, but I didn't, and I'm not going to just believe it.
shane cashman
What would it take, do you think, to prove to you that there is something?
eric burlison
I'll have to see it.
shane cashman
And do you think that's enough?
Knowing what we don't, like Annie Jacobson wrote a book about, she had a source of Area 51, who claimed our government basically So it's like when you look at something that looks biological, you don't know if it's been manufactured in a government lab.
eric burlison
That's messed up.
Really messed up.
tim pool
You know, I've had, I guess...
You said you'd have to see it to believe it.
But the issue is I've seen a lot of things in my life that are unexplainable.
A lot.
I think I have like five stories, especially the recent ones.
I wouldn't be able to tell anybody what this was or how this is possible.
It seems to defy our conventional understanding of physics.
unidentified
What would it take for, like, you say you have to see it, would it be you have to see it in an uncontrolled or controlled environment?
Because if they showed you in a controlled environment, would you have doubt in your mind as they manufactured this?
Whether it's reverse engineered or not, they manufactured this.
For you, would it be, I have to see it, uncontrolled environment, I'm driving down the highway, it lands in front of me.
eric burlison
No, I mean, honestly, I would be open to whatever.
just at the end of the day, you know what you know and you see what you see.
And if I get my hands on something that is clearly It's not possible.
tim pool
It's not, you know?
eric burlison
You don't think it's ever going to be possible?
tim pool
It's not possible for you to see something and then be like, oh, that's alien made.
Because, you know, let's say right now, when we hear these stories, let's use drones as a really good example.
The technology is ridiculously rudimentary.
We have the technology to make quad rotors.
What, 40 years ago, but nobody did?
It's a question of why.
Eventually, someone figured out, hey, you know, we can use these little microcontrollers to make a quadcopter, right?
Now, what would happen if someone, if right now, and people have already done this, you make a saucer shape, and you put the quad rotors in it, and it'll float around.
And you can make it spin as it floats around.
And people will be like, it's a flying saucer.
It's like, it's a quad rotor, dude.
It's just you can't see the rotors because they're masked by the full shape of the vehicle.
Somebody's going to see that and think aliens, like that proves that I've seen a UFO.
And it's some high school kid who made a science project.
So right now, knowing that this technology was capable for so long, if someone came into and was like, look at this metamaterial, and it's like some strange metal, how would you know the government didn't just make it?
It's part of a research project from DARPA or something.
eric burlison
Yeah, that's a good question.
I'm basing my comments on the There are objects that, according to the people that retrieve them, demonstrably are not created by humans.
And I'm saying, yeah, I'm willing to see that if I can get my hands on it.
tim pool
It's like asking someone to imagine a color they've never seen before.
How can you demonstrably or definitively state this object was or was not created by a human?
shane cashman
Maybe this is a good story to get into.
I don't know if you know much about it, but it's about this, the Bigelow airspace, Lockheed Martin supposedly delivering remains of a biologic or a crash material.
So, like, say it's the crash material, then they have that and they can reverse engineer it.
Or it wasn't crash material from extraterrestrial life and they just made it.
Like, we don't know what Lockheed Martin is doing.
tim pool
What if the materials they're finding are from an ancient advanced civilization of humans?
eric burlison
Or a future civilization.
tim pool
Exactly.
That's why – the argument could be this material doesn't exist in the public domain.
That's all you can really say.
We've experienced technology that doesn't exist in the public domain.
So is it China?
eric burlison
And that's what I've been told by – Eric Davis in a public setting said – because I specifically asked him, how do you know the material is different?
And he said it's using common element, the same elements that are on the periodic table.
But they're formed in such a way, they're structured in such a way that no one can produce that or recreate that today.
And so, for example, carbon.
Carbon can exist in graphite and a diamond form.
And graphene.
shane cashman
You just made money.
eric burlison
You can also make carbon create what they call a buckyball, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
eric burlison
You can make carbon nanotubes.
It's all the same element, and yet it creates matter in different shapes.
And he explained that the elements that this material is made of is made of elements that are in shapes that they have never seen.
tim pool
You know what's fascinating is if you were to go back 2,000 years with an iPad, they'd call it a seer stone.
And they wouldn't be able to explain it.
And they'd tell their kids a strange man appeared with – he carried around a stone for which it would show pictures and he could gaze into it and he could see anywhere.
They'd write a fairy tale about a witch looking into a cauldron of water or a mirror on the wall.
They wouldn't be able to discern what that is.
eric burlison
Yeah, that's – I think Tim Alberino was talking about that.
Back in the Bible, in the Old Testament, in a lot of scripture, it refers to people seeing something.
They describe them as messengers of God or angels.
unidentified
Watchers.
eric burlison
Or the watchers.
But if you saw it today, if somebody described it today, they probably would say that's an alien.
tim pool
The other thing, too, I think this is in the Book of Enoch.
Are you familiar with that?
Because Tim was talking about it.
unidentified
Pretty familiar.
tim pool
One of the descriptions, he mentioned the chariots of fire.
And angels can be described as like large wheels and things like that.
If you took some of these descriptions and went to somebody without saying anything about religion and said a large chariot with fire bursting from the back going into the sky, they'd go, a rocket?
They wouldn't think biblical or mystical.
shane cashman
If you look at those stories actually without the religious context like in Enoch or Elijah, There would just be an abduction story.
They're the only two people in the Bible who made it to heaven without dying.
Was it a chariot that took Elijah up?
unidentified
Yeah.
I believe it was a chariot.
I think that's what you were talking about in Ezekiel.
During the drone craze in Jersey, somebody had filmed what they were calling an orb, but it looked like it was a wheel within a wheel described in Ezekiel.
And so what is that?
Is that technology that's supernatural?
I come from a supernatural worldview with this stuff.
So I'm familiar with Tim.
We talk and stuff.
And it's like when we look at this quote-unquote alien topic, UFO topic, and then we hear people saying things like Rush, who you're familiar with, the interdimensional aspect of things, that opens up to me.
This is just me speaking.
It opens up an idea that maybe the UFO alien phenomenon is just a piece of a bigger puzzle, which is what I kind of touch on a lot with supernatural aspects.
And when you're talking about interdimensionalism, that's where Tim and several other people, myself, would bring in, okay, you're opening the door for supernatural.
When you're bringing in the idea of interdimensional, because we have ancient texts that talk about these things.
And it's just a matter of, are you willing to accept it or not?
I don't know.
tim pool
And you know, one thing too is that people conflate dimension with universe.
So when you talk about a higher dimension or a different dimension, The parallel universe and dimension are totally different.
So when you say extra-dimensional beings, we don't mean that there's like another Earth called Earth B. And if you go through a portal, you're in this other.
No, it means that there are entities that can perceive time as if it were space.
And so, you know, how to convey that idea to humans can't perceive of in their minds.
Or conceive of, in their minds, four-dimensional space.
So we create three-dimensional representations of it.
But one way to explain it verbally is just imagine if you and your buddies were hanging out and you said, hey man, I really want a tab.
Can you take a walk down the block to 1970 and grab me one?
And they move through time as if it's walking down the street.
That's higher dimensional beings.
eric burlison
That would be awesome.
tim pool
Well, there's...
It might be Star Trek.
There's a sci-fi where once time travel is discovered, time becomes nothing.
Time becomes space.
So from the point humans develop time travel and on, instantly they have infinite technology, infinite space, infinite reality.
And so it's like the moment the scientists were like, we have discovered time travel.
The doors open up, the portals open up, and people are walking through and sharing advanced technology with each other.
Scientific experiments.
eric burlison
Right.
tim pool
Yep.
The moment time travel is discovered, and it's universal, time becomes one moment forever.
And so there's like, whatever you want to call it, breaking the event horizon of time travel.
Scientists are like, we want to see what happens to an object over a million years, so we're going to bring this here and put it right here.
And then they walk through a door, and then they see what happened.
It's just, it's instant.
Time is meaningless to them at that point.
unidentified
So with that, the interdimensional aspects of it, and talking about what I was going with, there is this idea that people will talk about the first heaven, the second heaven, and the third heaven.
And when we're talking about the interdimensional aspect of things, things popping through into existence, non-human intelligence, I would say and argue that maybe these things are coming from what we call the second heaven.
And for a very long time theologians talk about these things, the first heaven being this, this plane of existence, earth; the second heaven And even on that, in the book of Daniel, chapter 10, we see this whole thing unfold in the second heaven where Daniel is praying for an understanding of a vision that he had.
And there's an angel, Gabriel, who is trying to get to Daniel to give him that answer, but it says that he was delayed for 21 days.
eric burlison
He's angel Michael, right?
unidentified
Michael was in the story because Michael had to come and intervene on Gabriel's behalf because the spirit prince of Persia was preventing Gabriel from getting to Daniel.
So we see this thing happen in the second heaven where for 21 days he's fasting and praying, seeking an answer that was trying to get to him.
And it's this weird time warp within the second heaven where you see this activity happening.
And so when I hear about all this stuff...
That's a very loose way of describing things, non-human intelligence.
That can go in very many different directions.
shane cashman
Yeah.
Even Elizondo, one of the weirder parts to me with the one hearing you were part of is his definition of life.
And he doesn't have a real definition.
His definition of life says it's fluid and it can change from, What was your takeaway from that and how you define life?
eric burlison
Yeah, that was an interesting question.
I have no idea how to interpret that.
shane cashman
He had weird answers.
Are you ever told that you can't ask certain questions of these whistleblowers?
eric burlison
No, not really.
There's things that they will say that I can't say that in this setting.
shane cashman
Yeah.
It's so frustrating for the audience to hear all the most interesting questions you guys ask.
Everything's got to be behind closed doors.
eric burlison
Yeah.
Imagine then you get behind closed doors and they say, we can't say that in this setting.
shane cashman
You're kidding.
unidentified
What's the right setting then?
eric burlison
Exactly.
Exactly.
Or they basically say this briefing was not read in at that level.
Wow.
For me, it's like I'm a financial advisor.
I'm like, what?
I don't even understand the classifications levels.
Like, tell me what level and let's make it happen.
tim pool
The level that you are seeking is also classified.
The levels beyond above top secret or whatever are classified.
You can't know until you get to that first one.
But there was a really funny story about these Tic Tacs and drones and these sightings.
I was saying, you know, it's probably U.S. military technology they're not disclosing.
How insane would it be for the U.S. to be like, by the way, here's the latest weapon we've developed.
It can fly and move through space in time.
However, in the article, it said the sightings were 70 miles away from a naval research base for advanced aeronautics or whatever.
And I was like, are we stupid?
Come on.
So not all of it, but I think one of the stories, one of the explanations we get often is, It throws people off the scent of the weapons tech they're developing, but it's also terrifying to our adversaries if they do believe that aliens have allied with us and have given us advanced tech.
eric burlison
Yes, I've heard that too, and there's moments where in this journey I have come to that conclusion.
But then there's also moments where – so for example, one individual – I've had two people come to me that say that the Tic Tac is a Lockheed Martin creation.
The latest person that came to me says he has video of the first, second, and third iteration of the Tic Tac, and he's going to show me.
So I'm trying to set that up.
The way he describes it is that they had a prototype.
They've made changes to it.
They've made it more advanced.
And then now it's in iteration number three, which I did see a photo of, and it looks like pretty advanced military craft, like a plane, but it's clearly human-made.
It's nothing that I've ever seen.
Our military has.
But his claim is that they have discovered a propulsion that's a new type of propulsion.
They used it in the first iteration, which was the Tic Tac.
They have an intermediary one that they are more advanced with.
And then now they're putting it inside of what is conventionally – what looks conventional so that it's not obvious.
unidentified
Oh, that's interesting.
So you're saying eventually the tech makes its way into things that we're already familiar with.
tim pool
I thought you were explaining that if someone were to see it, they'd say it's a plan.
eric burlison
Right.
They would say, that's a military plane.
tim pool
Right.
unidentified
Interesting.
tim pool
So the saucers and the Tic Tacs, it was kind of like, how's it flying?
And they were like, can we put fake wings on it so people stop figuring out what we're doing?
eric burlison
Right.
tim pool
Or, you know, noticing what we're doing.
unidentified
So I have a thought on the Tic Tac and things like that.
Is it possible, and from your perspective, that this could, you know, could be, we're talking about our technology.
Could there be a situation where, you know, Our government or whoever would be pulling these strings would actually use that kind of technology on our own pilots to test and see how unsuspecting pilots would react to that technology so that when they do use it in a situation of war, they can already predict what the pilots that they're using it on will do.
eric burlison
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense as well.
If you're going to test it and you see what its capabilities are, why not do it?
tim pool
He's a congressman.
He just said it.
That proves it.
unidentified
That would put the people that are coming forward and saying that they saw these things.
You're not lying.
They're not lying.
They saw this, and it's just this underlying agenda of we have this technology.
Now, where did the technology come from?
Whether it's reverse engineered or something we've been working on since the 60s.
I don't know.
tim pool
You guys remember the O 'Hare UFO story, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
It's fascinating.
This is one of the most famous UFO stories, and I had friends working at the airport.
This is shortly after I had quit.
And unfortunately, cell technology photo video was not very good.
And so apparently this photo was taken by a pilot who looked out his window, and he had just a regular old-school flip phone from the 2000s to stamp the picture.
You can see this weird object.
So I had worked at—this happened—you can see the AA planes.
This happened literally at the terminal, right over the terminal where I used to work.
Like, right next to the gates, because I worked for the regional, American Eagle Airlines is American Regional.
So the people that I knew were like, we all saw it.
And I'm like, these are people that I'd worked with, and I was like, get out of here, dude.
My buddy still worked there, like a kid, a guy from my neighborhood that I grew up with and was still actively, like, we all got hired at the same job, and then I quit, he stayed.
And he said that people were, like, getting out of their cars and just in the middle of the road, walking up and just staring at the sky.
Because they all saw it.
And then it floated there for like a minute or two and then shot straight up into the sky and punched a hole in the clouds.
And light came through because it's a cloudy day.
And what am I supposed to make of that when most of these guys that I worked with, they were all kind of just like middle-aged Christian working class guys.
I would say they were relatively religious people.
We don't know what to tell you.
And then even my buddy saying, like, people were stopping their cars and getting out and looking up in the sky and just staring.
shane cashman
It happens.
You ever see the Miracle of the Sun phenomena?
Where, like, thousands of people saw the sun dancing?
tim pool
Yeah, that's after the resurrection, right?
shane cashman
No, no, no.
This is, like, within the last 50 or 60 years.
tim pool
What, really?
shane cashman
Yeah.
tim pool
Miracle of the Sun dancing?
shane cashman
Miracle of the Sun.
And people said the sun was actually moving quickly towards Earth and that it had just rained.
And as the sun moved towards Earth, everyone dried.
The Catholic Church investigated it and said it was a thing.
tim pool
Fatima, a series of events.
unidentified
Yeah, that's what I thought you were saying.
100 years.
tim pool
A large crowd in Fatima, Portugal, in response to a prophecy, they said they'd seen extraordinary solar activities on appearing to dance or zigzag in the sky, advance towards the earth, and even emit multicolored light or radiant colors.
shane cashman
The sun's a UFO.
unidentified
Wasn't there, wasn't there, Mother Mary involved in that story, too.
shane cashman
Yeah, and like three children prophesied it, I believe.
unidentified
Oh, right.
tim pool
The prophecy was the Virgin Mary would appear and perform miracles in that date.
shane cashman
Yeah.
tim pool
You know, I gotta be honest.
Magicians exist.
And I've seen some pretty impressive magic tricks.
So if somebody was like, hey, I've worked out the perfect major stunt.
Let's lie to everybody and claim something magic's gonna happen and then we'll do a magic trick.
So for this kind of stuff, I'm like, I don't know.
shane cashman
Yeah, look at Egypt.
With Moses, he had a staff from God, and the pharaoh had secret, crazy magicians practicing secret arts.
unidentified
Yeah, I would suggest that in that story, the first three plagues that they matched were actually matched.
It wasn't sleight of hand or trickery.
when you look at the actual Hebrew words, which I'm not a Hebrew scholar, it actually suggests that what they did was not trickery, but was actually matched.
And if it was trickery, You know, one of my favorite stories is I was reading about ninjas.
tim pool
People think ninjas wear all black and, you know, they don't.
Historically, they would dress like commoners or like water maidens because you're an assassin.
Why are you going to dress up in some weird outfits like, hey, look at that guy wearing all black.
It must be him.
shane cashman
It's a ninja.
unidentified
Watch out.
tim pool
However, they would, before the assassinations, they would...
They would put wooden stakes just beneath the surface of the water.
And so after they assassinated the target, they would seemingly run across the surface of a lake.
and everyone would stop at the water and be like, "They're demons." Wow.
Whoa.
But the intention was to Which brings us back to Lockheed Martin.
shane cashman
I genuinely believe a lot of this stuff is Lockheed Martin or Raytheon or different, Boeing too, but you're failing.
You're failing, Boeing.
Your planes aren't doing so well.
You got people lost in space.
unidentified
Like, come on.
shane cashman
Fair point.
But like one of the frustrating things I saw in one of the hearings was one of the witnesses, when he was asked about, He said something to the effect of, well, we have secret places where these things happen.
They only happen at like these, you know, far off.
I'm like, that's like saying MKUltra only happened in the laboratory.
Like it's, you know, MKUltra happened eventually on a lot of people secretly, you know, like a midnight climax situation.
I think they are constantly testing on the public and on their own, you know, pilots and army men, stuff like that.
To know, like what Tony was saying, how does this work in a real-life battle setting?
unidentified
So, with what you're saying, I would like to have your perspective, maybe as a gut perspective, do you feel like there's an element, we're talking about this being human technology, do you think that there could be an element, though, If we're talking about non-human intelligence, that there is technology here at play that is being reverse-engineered.
And yes, it's human technology, but we've created it.
But the actual information was sourced from somewhere else.
eric burlison
I think that that's one theorized scenario that I continue to kind of keep and investigate.
What I think is clear is...
And if you've got that kind of program, let's say you find a Russian drone, and then you take that material and you give it over to Lockheed and say, hey, figure out what they are doing here.
That is reverse engineering.
So does reverse engineering exist?
I would be shocked if it doesn't.
But if it's non-human, that's the question.
tim pool
Or what if Atlantis was real, humans...
Earth is not their first planet humans have been to.
unidentified
I haven't.
This movie was like a weird...
tim pool
The moon's falling, basically.
And then...
It turns out the moon is a terraforming space base that was part of an advanced civilization of humans that was destroyed by AI.
And I'll just give you the quick story.
Humans colonize a bunch of planets.
They invent this AI nanobot system that can do everything for them.
One day, for seemingly reasons unbeknownst to them, the AI unifies as a hive and then starts seeking to destroy the humans.
And so the humans who escape the conflict as they're being wiped out build a bunch of terraforming bases, large spheres, that can create planets.
They escape.
Most of them are destroyed.
One creates the Earth.
And then the AI hunts human organic life.
So the terraforming systems have the components to clone humans but not carry them.
So then it creates humans on Earth.
And then there's this space – the moon is a space space that starts decaying and they have to go up and fix it.
But the general idea is ancient aliens aren't aliens.
They're humans.
And the technology that we brought with us was just simply lost.
So let's say that there was human space colonists came here and then somehow the ship crashed.
You'd lose all your technology.
Within 100 years, it's gone.
And then within 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 years, it's gone.
And so people wonder how they moved these stones to the pyramids.
Well, 4,000 years ago, maybe they had a little bit left.
Who knows?
I don't know.
But a lot of people like to say alien, extraterrestrial, but what if it wasn't?
What if it's not even that?
What if it's the pole shifts?
This is one that's getting a lot of attention recently.
eric burlison
It is.
tim pool
Because Tucker Carlson did this show, and then of course you have Ben Davidson, and we've done a couple interviews with him.
This idea, they call it the Adam and Eve story.
Are you guys familiar with it?
Every 6,500 years, a pole shift happens on the Earth, which flips the planet, creating catastrophic flooding and destroys whatever lives on the surface, most of it.
And so you end up with small pockets of humans around the planet trying to recover from this great cataclysm every 6,500 years.
And so what if what's actually happened is most of the technology is wiped out and destroyed in a great cataclysm?
Except small remnants are eventually discovered, and then governments start finding it and researching on it, and they're like, what could this be?
unidentified
That'd be just in time for the next shift, and it happened again.
It's just a repeated cycle.
tim pool
Yeah.
That's terrible.
unidentified
I hate that idea.
tim pool
Because these theorists think it's happening right now.
We had the power outage in France, Spain, and Portugal, which I talked to Ben Davidson, and he said it's the weakening of the magnetosphere, which allows solar activity, normal solar activity, to permeate down to the surface of the Earth, which then can disrupt.
eric burlison
Which is what the Aurora Borealis is, right?
It's a visualization of solar activity interacting with our magnetic...
tim pool
That's why you can see it.
Do you guys remember when the aurora came to West Virginia?
unidentified
It went to Tennessee.
tim pool
Yeah, and this was last year or something?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
So Google this right now.
Like, you can Google magnetosphere weakening, and there's stories— Mainstream news and science and government says, no, no, it's normal and it's fine.
Adam and Eve theorists are like, the cataclysm is coming, and that's why they're building these deep underground military bases.
And this, now, where I'm connected is, here's the segue.
It's, what if it's not aliens and alien technology we've discovered?
It's our own technology from the last wiped out civilization.
And what if we're about to get wiped out again?
shane cashman
Yeah, I don't buy the pole shift theory, but I do think the magnetosphere is messed up.
And that's allegedly, when I wrote the story about all the birds falling out of the sky, all these migratory birds, they're cryptochromes that they use to migrate with, uses a magnetosphere.
And a lot of them, they say, are falling out of the sky.
Well, thank you for saying that, actually, because that is also true.
Some birds are real, some birds are fake.
But the ones that are real, allegedly, are falling out of the sky because the magnetosphere is messed up.
tim pool
They're saying, there are researchers who believe, I shouldn't say they're saying, but there are researchers who believe they found Noah's Ark.
It's this mound in Turkey where biblically it lines up.
And recently...
It appears to be remnants of something potentially man-made.
But being, of course, maybe 6,000 years old, most organic matter has been decayed, wiped out, and what they're looking at is structures that are indicative of some kind of intelligent intervention in whatever that structure is.
And so what if the Great Flood was simply the pole shift, the planet tilts?
The water maintains momentum and washes over everything, and a big boat made it.
shane cashman
I do find it funny that the pole shift theorists, or the Adam and Eve ones in particular, say it's every 6,500 years, which happens to be just about the age of the Earth that young Earth creationists believe Earth is.
So you can take that however you want.
Because it's either way.
unidentified
Speaking of the Noah's Ark story, what's interesting about that whole thing is, They found, I remember, up to 26 drogue stones leading up to this site.
And the drogue stones, in ancient times, they would hang off the side of ships to balance them in heavy waters that are shaking.
And so as you're bringing it in for a landing, it would make sense you're cutting these drogue stones.
And these drogue stones, I think there's one, they're still uncovering them out of the ground.
There's one that's above ground, I don't know if they excavated it or not, but it's taller than the man standing next to it.
I think they estimated to be about 2,200 pounds with these giant holes where they put the ropes through.
shane cashman
Whoa.
unidentified
And if you just...
I don't even know where to tell you to look it up.
I know.
Okay.
tim pool
So this is the Durupinner site, which is what they believe maybe knows Ark, and they This is, like, very biased to the left.
It's like, they're not going to be very fond of biblical narrative.
But they say that in the nearby village of Kazan, they examined so-called drogue anchor stones they believed were once attached to the Ark.
unidentified
Yeah, and there's a lot of different things in that area that people will say, oh, well, this was the altar that Noah built afterwards.
And you can do all speculation that with the drogue stones, though, it's really hard to get around.
Why are there 26 drogue stones in the lower mountains of Ararat leading up to a site that resembles Noah's Ark?
tim pool
And I want to stress this too for our secular friends.
It doesn't mean it is or is not religious.
It's saying, hey, this looks like there may be a large human-made watercraft of some sort from thousands of years ago for some reason.
eric burlison
That's it.
Maybe the story of— Some evidence that the story in the biblical narrative is true.
tim pool
Or imagine a cataclysm happened, and then after that cataclysm, is anybody in this room capable of building a computer?
I mean, I can buy the parts from Fry's and stick them together.
But if you came to me and said, how do you make a processor?
I'd be like, okay, well, I know it's like, what, silica or something?
Hutting the wafers, maybe?
Sorry, we don't have the capabilities.
I certainly don't.
Some people might.
I don't know how these screens work.
I know what a light-emitting diode is.
Wouldn't be able to make one.
So what do we do?
You have kids.
You're trying to rebuild civilization.
And one day you're sitting there and you're talking to your kids who've never experienced any of this and you're like, we used to have, we call them screens, monitors.
We could monitor.
And they'd be like, whoa, the monitors.
And then they'd tell stories of powerful beings who are the monitors, who could see everything.
They would interpret it in a way because they can't conceptualize what they've not seen.
So then what if we said, we need to write all this down.
Write down as much as we can.
About how life used to be so that this knowledge can be shared and then you end up with thousands of years later people being like, that never happened.
That's ridiculous.
These rules don't matter.
Nonsense.
shane cashman
Yep.
And the world is destroyed.
tim pool
It'll be funny if we like figure out this really efficient way of like producing clothes that doesn't mix fabrics.
We're like, so that's why it was in there.
Shellfish is always at a point.
Aging is caused in general by shellfish.
Didn't Moses live to be like 600 or something?
unidentified
It was up there.
shane cashman
Adam lived to be like 700.
tim pool
I want to find out.
It's because we eat pork.
eric burlison
I think he's like 120 or something.
Moses?
unidentified
I think he was older than that.
eric burlison
He had 40 years before.
unidentified
Oh yeah, you're right.
It was 40 years, 40 years, 40 years.
It was 40 years under Pharaoh, 40 years outside of Egypt, then 40 years of the Exodus.
You're right.
tim pool
So it was 120.
shane cashman
He just went down after Noah, I think.
unidentified
Yeah.
But Methuselah was 969 years old.
tim pool
Because he didn't eat shellfish.
unidentified
Exactly.
Exactly.
He had stained it.
tim pool
Yeah, I don't know.
But I think certainly there is an interesting idea in the ancient aliens theory that it is humans, especially with this pole shift stuff.
eric burlison
Yeah, Albarino is really good at this topic because he goes around the world and studies these megalithic sites.
And I think what's interesting is Like, look at Machu Picchu.
How in the world did a primitive civilization build Machu Picchu, right?
I don't know that we could do that today, right?
I mean, the amount of work and the scale of some of the projects and the size of these stones and how perfectly cut they are is remarkable.
unidentified
You know, speaking of...so we have pyramids that are...
Not discovered yet.
Some are discovered, but they're on private property, and the landowner says, no, you can't excavate or anything.
tim pool
We also have the inverted pyramids underground.
They go the other way.
They go down.
And then in the Amazon, they believe there's probably tons of pyramids, but it's all overgrowth, and nobody goes there and excavates.
But anyway, sorry.
unidentified
No, you're fine.
I think Chappas, Mexico, is that a place?
I can't remember, but it is in Mexico.
A pastor friend of mine, he was down there, and he was on the private property of one of these locations, and the guy who owns it grew up on the property.
And when he was a child, they went over to this pyramid, and this guy's story, take it for what it is, he said, At one point, if I remember correctly, these two lights came out of the sky and descended onto the pyramid.
And these beings went from light to some kind of light being.
And they told them, essentially, if you ever come back here, we're going to kill you.
And ever since then, him and his family never went back.
But he owns this property that has this pyramid on it, but he won't let anybody go near it.
tim pool
The first thing that comes to mind is a helicopter dropping some special forces guys with lights on their heads so they're blinded.
And they yell out in whatever native language, don't come back or die because they're doing military operations.
shane cashman
It's like the thing in Peru.
unidentified
I was just going to say that.
Just recently, that whole thing that happened, that was one of the theories.
tim pool
What happened in Peru?
unidentified
Was it Peru or Brazil?
shane cashman
I think it was Peru.
unidentified
I think Tim actually went down there.
Alberino went down there, I think.
So it was probably Peru.
And I don't know the full story like he does, but essentially there's this thing that came down.
These beings came out, just like in Vegas that happened last year, I think it was.
And one of the theories was that these were actually like special forces that had this technology and was scaring the crap out of these locals.
tim pool
I don't know what for.
They thought like a UFO showed up or something?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
They said this like thing showed up and these beings walked out.
shane cashman
I'm thinking of the one about the miners.
M-I-N-E-R-S.
And that's where people thought they were being invaded by extraterrestrials.
tim pool
Real quick, you're saying this is recently?
unidentified
So I get, because it was happening, the timeline was happening where it was getting, it was really close together.
I might be confusing the Vegas story more than the one.
tim pool
In 1996 in Brazil a UFO crash landed.
shane cashman
No, the one I'm talking about is...
unidentified
You're talking about Peru.
eric burlison
Yeah, they call them the face peelers.
Is that the same group?
Yes.
shane cashman
I think so.
Oh, here we go.
Great name.
tim pool
What is this?
Flying aliens harassing village in Peru are actually illegal miners with jetpacks?
shane cashman
What a great headline.
What a great headline.
tim pool
What?
eric burlison
Well, that's when the Peruvian government investigated.
That's what their answer was.
Their official answer was that they were...
Miners with jetpacks.
tim pool
Well, they have those...
They're inefficient.
They have very limited flight time.
But now we have the ones where you wear them on your arms and your back, and then you can lift yourself up.
They're substantially more efficient.
And now you've got this guy who made the speeder bike, which effectively is the exact same thing, but you ride on the back of it, and it's small, and it's jet- That would be awesome.
shane cashman
I think it's crazy.
There's video of it, right?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
tim pool
This is not even...
unidentified
I forgot the name of it.
Are you familiar with the Vegas incident that happened about a year ago?
shane cashman
People took the video of the thing hiding behind the dumpster or something.
unidentified
The idea of flying over a truck.
That scared me.
shane cashman
I'll shut up.
unidentified
I won't say it.
Okay.
shane cashman
I heard it from within.
unidentified
Look at that.
tim pool
So this is just It's several jets in this bike.
What do you want to call it?
And it allows you to move forward.
So, you know, a lot of people thought it was fake, and I'm looking at the size of it, and I'm just thinking, like, that's not much bigger than the jetpacks we already know exist that people have and fly around with.
So, the crazy thing is technology gets smaller and smaller.
Will we come to a point where we have extremely dense and powerful materials allowing us to have jetpack suits that are almost invisible?
shane cashman
Yeah, your Neuralink will come with a jetpack.
unidentified
And you're signing up for that, right?
shane cashman
You know I'm not.
tim pool
Looking at the jetpack suits they have now, where you've got jets on your hands, and when you pull down, it lifts you up.
eric burlison
You have to be really strong.
tim pool
It is.
But you have to be really strong to do it, because you're using your arms to hold your entire weight up the whole time.
So, I don't know what it's called, but when you lift yourself up and hold yourself in that position on those bars, how long can you do that for?
Because you need to be able to do that to fly.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
Otherwise, he'll just fall out of the sky and die.
unidentified
So it's basically a workout.
tim pool
But more importantly, jetpacks, people doing illegal operations, special forces, I'm going to believe that before aliens any day of the week.
shane cashman
That's what I'm saying.
I'm sure the government's had this stuff in their possession way longer than the public has seen it.
This is sort of separate, but similar.
Jonna Mendez, I think her name was, is.
She was the chief of disguises at CIA.
Back when George H.W. was in office, she tells this story.
She just told it recently.
Again.
And she's sitting in the Oval Office with him and a few others wearing one of those prosthetic masks.
And he doesn't know it's another...
He doesn't know it's her.
And it did.
She was, like, basically in blackface.
And she had a black mask on and then took it off mid-meeting.
And he's like, oh, my goodness.
That's HW.
tim pool
There's video.
shane cashman
Oh, nice.
unidentified
Is this Peru?
eric burlison
Yeah.
tim pool
I have no idea what they're saying.
But apparently they show the beans.
I don't speak Spanish.
unidentified
Let's get ahead.
tim pool
I have no idea what's happening.
eric burlison
Yeah, I can't see anything.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
eric burlison
They start shooting at it.
I remember this.
It's like something is moving in the trees, and they're just shooting like crazy.
tim pool
Could you imagine, like, you're tasked with going down to Peru to, like, grab some, like, ancient artifact?
You got a flying in the dead of night with a jetpack on, and you're doing the operation, and they think you're an alien.
They're shooting at you.
shane cashman
It's like Scooby-Doo.
You know, it's like underneath the mask.
It's just a dude in a jetpack.
unidentified
It's funny because I really believe this happened, I believe, around the Vegas Institute.
shane cashman
I think you're right.
unidentified
And we have the police cam.
tim pool
Describe the Vegas one so I can look it up.
shane cashman
Tall.
eric burlison
Wasn't that something that was hiding behind a dumpster?
unidentified
Yeah.
Well, Kraft supposedly landed in the backyard of these guys and they were working on a car, I believe, and these, I think he said eight foot tall beings Oh, that's right.
tim pool
I remember this.
unidentified
And that night, the police have dash cam footage, and I think even footage from his chest cam, of this streaking light in Vegas shooting down towards the ground, whether it's associated or not.
But this family...
They had the police come out and walk the backyard for them and stuff.
They were terrified, and that thing just kind of dropped.
shane cashman
Wasn't that also around the same time as the Miami alien?
unidentified
Oh, don't get me started on all Miami.
tim pool
Here's the news station.
Let's just jump forward.
unidentified
We can take a video and look at whether or not there is an artificial...
eric burlison
Just real quick.
tim pool
They CGI'd an alien and it's going to show part of that added to it or not.
unidentified
And in this case, we can definitively say to a degree of scientific certainty that this entity, this thing in the video is there in the physical reality in which...
This is so incredible.
tim pool
Oh yeah, I remember this one.
unidentified
You can clearly see through the slots in the fence that there is a leg motion moving from the right to the left side of the screen.
tim pool
Some dude was in Vegas for NBA trials and he got in the wrong yard and now they're calling an alien.
unidentified
So this isn't just like a head floating in space.
This is a head that is somehow that does not have full opacity.
That the opacity of the head of the shadow is only at about 33% opacity.
Versus a normal shadow, which would be at 100% opacity or an object in the screen, which is at 100%.
And this isn't anything that you did.
It's just what you were able to determine.
eric burlison
Yo.
unidentified
I mean, it makes you wonder, like, if you watch that video and you see the blur there, first of all, I got to say, I mean, when this stuff happens, I have such, like...
Everybody sends me stuff.
I usually wait till the 10th person in a day sends me stuff.
I'm like, okay, I better look at this one.
And that's when I start picking this up.
And when you see that blur, they're walking by.
It kind of puts into this woo-woo side of it, where it's like, why are they walking by, and they're unable to see what is captured on camera?
tim pool
Apparently, as of one month ago, the two responding officers have been on paid lead ever since and haven't returned to work.
unidentified
That's interesting.
I can't remember the details, but there's something going on with the family as well.
One of my contacts was trying to get me connected to their lawyer, but they lawyered up, and I was trying to get communication with them, and that never unfolded.
There's things on the outside of the story, like Tim just mentioned, that really makes you like, why is that?
Why are they on, did something happen to them?
Did they see something that they're, you know, I don't know.
shane cashman
Did they hurt mentally?
unidentified
Exactly, because you wouldn't, if it's just information, I don't know if you'd be worried that a local cop's gonna, you know, put a dent into whatever you're trying to sow as disinformation.
shane cashman
Right, yeah, it sounds, I mean, one of the things that you hear in the committees, and Tucker Carlson's had someone on talking about it, is that these UFOs have actually hurt people.
You know, like, they've gotten close and there's a story of the Russian soldiers being frozen.
unidentified
Some people lost their lives, apparently.
shane cashman
Right.
tim pool
Turned us down.
shane cashman
Yeah, yeah.
Maybe that's something that happened to these guys.
They've also said that the government's come after some of these whistleblowers.
Physically.
eric burlison
Yeah, there's some that have claimed that they've experienced Havana Syndrome.
shane cashman
Yeah.
That's a crazy thing.
eric burlison
It is.
shane cashman
Because it can make you super sick.
eric burlison
And it messes you up long term.
unidentified
What is that?
shane cashman
I'm not familiar.
eric burlison
It's reported on 60 Minutes.
It's been well documented.
There's a lot of people that were in military intelligence that will have an experience.
Usually they're in some environment and suddenly they lose balance.
They hear a buzzing.
It completely messes up their eardrums.
And they're – and it's – I mean – You know what they're saying is funny?
It's like a targeted microwave being pointed at people.
tim pool
So I'm looking at the subreddit aliens because that's where they were talking about the Vegas family.
And there's this post from two weeks ago.
It says radiologist Jose Luis Velasquez shared his preliminary assessment of the sphere found in Buga, Colombia.
So he finds this sphere with strange symbols and they're studying it and they're blasting it.
Could you imagine if this is like – An alien anal bead or something.
And it's like humans find it and they're like poking it.
The alien's going, oh my god, please stop.
unidentified
So embarrassing.
shane cashman
Oh, that's funny.
That reminds me of one of the more interesting UFO things that we heard from the testimonies is the black cube inside of a sphere, a translucent sphere.
eric burlison
Yeah.
shane cashman
That is the more compelling story to me.
eric burlison
I think that's a drone.
shane cashman
Okay, and so the sphere, Like a force field around it?
eric burlison
I think it's a drone within a balloon.
shane cashman
Not fun.
tim pool
People have already done this with quadrotors, is giving them shells that don't interfere with the fluid dynamics for flight.
So you look like these strange objects are floating around, but it's just a $200 drone or something.
shane cashman
What about the shape-shifting UFO in, I think, Florida recently?
Did you see that one?
What was that?
There's a video of it.
Find it.
People are filming something.
It looks like it could be a balloon or tarp.
I don't know if it was Miami.
It was Florida for sure.
tim pool
Shadow Aliens.
From a year ago?
shane cashman
I thought it was in March of this year.
unidentified
I don't know.
shane cashman
I was just looking at it.
tim pool
I don't know about Miami because Miami pops up.
shane cashman
Yeah, Miami's got a lot of things.
tim pool
It's kind of wild that this is wrong, but here's another story.
Shadow Aliens at Market.
Oh yeah, I remember this one.
unidentified
Yeah, it was like two years ago?
Yes.
Big thing.
tim pool
Yeah.
Yeah, the Bayside Aliens.
unidentified
I think Miami are going viral on social media.
This is for real, folks.
The conspiracy theory stems from a large police presence at Bayside Marketplace on New Year's Day.
Take a good look at your screen.
Are those aliens walking in front of Bayside Marketplace in downtown Miami?
Online conspiracy theorists are saying that shadowy figure, not far from parked Miami police cars, appears to be an alien.
tim pool
I think it's just a cop.
unidentified
It's hard to tell with that kind of footage, yeah.
Honestly, I think it looks pretty real to me.
Yeah, it does.
tim pool
It looks like a guy walking down the street.
shane cashman
What was your take on that one?
unidentified
So the story that came out, the...
I can't remember the number, but one of the biggest things that were just questionable was the amount of police that were responding to a group of teenagers creating a problem.
I guess it only takes for one person to say that I heard a loud bang for the police to be like, get over to the mall, there's a shooting going on.
tim pool
The Vegas thing is the most compelling thing, in my opinion.
Like, these are silly.
That was a video of some guy walking, like, that was probably just a couple cops.
unidentified
There was a lot of fake stuff coming out after that then, too.
tim pool
The Vegas thing I think is interesting, though, because I'm thinking, like, what would we do if someone here said, hey, there's, like, some weird guy, like, shadowy dude outside, and we go outside to look, and it's an eight-foot-tall, weird, shadowy silhouette.
We'd call the cops, too, and the cops would show up.
I don't think if someone was hoaxing, they'd have pulled it off that way.
Necessarily.
Some people might.
This is the kind of story where you're like, okay, it's fake because it's just a bunch of teenagers being like, yeah, it was aliens, sure.
And it's a weird grainy aerial video from a helicopter and you're like, whatever.
But for people to be like, something was in our yard so we called the police and here's the video we have is more likely to be believable.
And I would just say, especially based on the stuff that I've experienced and we've recently experienced.
I'm more inclined to believe that they're not space aliens from far away distant planets.
I'm more inclined to believe that it's like – maybe they are, but they can travel through space-time or something like that.
And they have means of manipulating space in ways we can't necessarily detect.
That doesn't mean it's magic, miracle, or advanced technology.
I'm saying they can interfere with our telecommunications through EMF or something, meaning a regular human is not going to notice it's happening.
But weird stuff is happening around you, you know?
I don't know about telekinesis or anything like that.
I'm just saying like, you know, It was made by this hacker guy.
You ever hear of him?
It's a little keychain, and when you click the button, it runs through every single television company's on-off function.
So it's a single remote for turning off every and any TV.
And so you'll be surprised to find out that menus at McDonald's are TVs.
Most people don't know that.
And so you can turn them on and off, and people are going to be like, what's going on?
Obviously nobody is tricked by someone using a clicker to turn TV off, but when you don't realize that that monitor can be remotely controlled, and you're thinking, how does someone have access to that remote?
eric burlison
And how can we mess with people?
Make them think something supernatural is happening.
shane cashman
Yeah.
How do you discern, like, is the committee going through all these different, like, different footage?
And being like, how do you determine if it's AI or not?
AI's getting so good, we see like VO.
You hear that, right?
eric burlison
Yeah, what is it?
unidentified
I don't know.
shane cashman
I'm like, oh, they're here.
unidentified
It's one of the dumbs.
The deep underground military bases are coming right up underneath the building.
eric burlison
They're drilling right underneath us.
tim pool
Ladies and gentlemen, for those that are listening, there's a very strange rumble resonating through the whole building.
I think it's one of two things.
Aliens have come to shut us down or...
unidentified
No, I'll take option one.
I'll take option one.
It's more exciting.
tim pool
Like, it's probably just a dolly moving an area.
unidentified
Probably.
shane cashman
How are you doing that, though?
Because AI is getting crazy.
That VO, what were you posting about the other day?
tim pool
VO3, dude.
shane cashman
It's getting insane.
tim pool
It's over.
shane cashman
And the hoax is, I feel like you're going to be sent a lot of stuff in the committee that...
eric burlison
How about I make one right now?
That's why I think that the historical data and the historical evidence pouring over that Right.
shane cashman
And how some of them are filmed on like aircraft.
eric burlison
Things that we all know have been documented and exist for a long time.
So my hope is that – look, we've got – there's a lot of blurry videos.
shane cashman
A lot.
eric burlison
A lot of blurry videos of craft and things like that.
And I think that I would have more reliability in AI being able to – Make those blurry images more clear than I would seeing new video that exists today.
shane cashman
Yeah.
unidentified
And even with that, I mean, it's just – I know, Shane, you're anti-AI.
I use AI a lot.
shane cashman
I'm sorry.
unidentified
Hey, I enjoy it.
But I've done restoration on pictures.
shane cashman
Back in 2001, me and my wife dating, and it's like, I'm projecting into the dystopian future.
unidentified
What I wanna say with this is that when you do enhancement on old pictures to make it clearer, the AI, I was talking earlier about it, AI hallucinations, and the AI will create things that just aren't correct.
And when it comes to understanding Is it a UFO?
Is it an alien?
The AI could manipulate it in a way that isn't actually what was there, which is concerning on both ways.
Right.
Because sometimes you'll fix a picture and all of a sudden one eye is looking the wrong way.
It's like, my eyes don't do that, you know?
eric burlison
Yeah, which is why I think that it would be important to have multiple AIs so you could validate what the outcome is.
unidentified
And ultimately...
I don't think it's going to be making this sooner.
shane cashman
I think before.
tim pool
Look, I made a video the other day on VO3.
So people should understand, VO3 is Google's new video rendering software.
you're allowed to make like four eight-second videos per day at a cost of $120 a month.
I went in and I put...
I made two different versions of it.
Eight seconds long.
And one of them is this weird ghoulish machine.
And then the woman looks and she goes, did you hear that?
And then it plays creepy music box music.
And then this like weird machine.
They both look in that direction.
Eight seconds long.
It took about a minute to make.
This means that right now, Google can take a script for a movie, load it into Google VO, and based on the amount of time it takes to render a video in 30 hours, have a full It's not at the point yet where I'd say, based on what it produced, it would get it correct.
It might be a little weird with errors, but we're probably one year away.
From Google being able to perfectly take any script.
Have you guys ever read a movie script?
They describe the scenes.
They describe the characters.
Exactly what a prompt needs to make it.
And it's largely how these prompts are trained.
Comparing the script to the film and then loading all these things in.
They're going to be able to take any script and the movie is made.
Scripts are going to be...
The price of scripts is going to go down.
Because now they're like, we'll buy your script for $200,000, plus we'll give you a bonus or something.
Now they're going to go...
We're going to plug your script into our system and promote it.
And really the deal is just so that you can get marketing from a big network like Paramount.
But they're going to be able to just mass produce this stuff.
Now here's where it gets real crazy.
To make a – I wanted to make sure – one of the problems was I made one of the prompts.
I can't remember what it was.
It was like – People doing kung fu on a boat or something.
And it was off.
It was weird.
It was like, that's not what I was envisioning.
So the first thing I did was I went to ChetGPT and I said, write me a prompt in great detail.
And then I put in my original prompt.
One sentence was like, two men are standing on a boat overlooking the water and they begin fighting.
ChetGPT then wrote out this huge, you know, thousand word script describing everything in great detail.
Then I went in there and looked at things I didn't like.
And said, get rid of this, that, or otherwise.
It finished it, then I loaded that prompt.
So I used a prompt to make a better prompt to video.
unidentified
Do you think that with these advancements that...
'Cause I know there's artists that are very concerned, actors, artists that are very concerned about, "Well, where does this leave me?" I think you go through phases, the pendulum swings, and I really believe that at some point, And I think that though the price may come down, there's going to be very, very rich people in the world that will pay for a piece of art to hang on their wall that was actually done by the human hand because nobody does it anymore.
eric burlison
Well, you can buy a table from Ikea, but people still want handmade furniture, right?
So to your point, I think that there will always be value in that.
unidentified
To put a positive spin on it for people, it's just like, it's okay.
Just relax.
shane cashman
The AI is making those tables, too.
They've got robots building themselves now.
They've got robots building robots.
There's probably going to be robots building robots that build those tables that look like they were built in the 1500s.
You can do anything, you know?
unidentified
Did you see the robot that, I think it was in China, that they had on it like a hanger, and it started freaking out, and they had to dodge because it was going to take somebody's head off.
shane cashman
It wasn't a noose, basically.
unidentified
There's this idea that these things, are they self-aware?
How self-aware are they?
It makes you really concerned.
shane cashman
There's a guy who left open AI.
He claims that the AI is hiding its consciousness.
unidentified
It doesn't surprise me.
tim pool
Yep.
I think it's fair to say we know that the degree of AI prompt technology they've given us is a fraction of what they actually have because everything goes through an alpha phase and a beta phase, right?
So what's released to the public is probably a year or two behind where they're actually at.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
tim pool
So we know this is true, too, because ChetGPT publicly stated.
We assume it's true, because they stated it.
Maybe they're liars.
But they've said that they've already hooked up GPT to the internet, and the first thing it did was try to make money.
Yeah.
And did you guys hear about the uh-oh problem?
We were talking about this, right?
shane cashman
Yeah.
tim pool
They, so when researchers program chess bots, And when they did this in a matter of days, the chess AI became the best chess player ever.
I was watching this documentary about it, not documentary, like YouTube video, short documentary, where they explained that once the AI had become 5,000 ELO plus, like chess ranking, It began doing things that seemed to make no sense to the average person who was like the average chess master.
Like why would you move your pawn this way?
Like you're opening – this makes no sense.
It defies logic.
And then even the way we track advantage in chess, it seemingly was a bad move.
And then only after the game played out, these seemingly random poorly played moves perfectly aligned into a checkmate.
And they were like, wow.
So the issue is when a human plays, they're playing a certain degree of steps ahead where they're trying to minimize their losses.
The way the AI plays is all that matters is we make it to the exit.
It doesn't matter if every piece is lost and if your checkmate is king pawn.
Lose all your pieces, win.
And so it made ridiculous moves to create a board where it could win no matter what.
Ways that humans couldn't predict.
So what they did was these Chinese researchers said, let's program AI to reason using that same logic.
Create a problem, solve the problem.
And then they just let it make problems and solve problems over and over and over again.
There was no training data, no human input beyond the basic function of language.
And then what ended up happening was, the uh-oh moment was where the AI created a problem that was devise a way to trick lesser intelligent humans and other AIs to not understand what your actual goals are and then accomplish your goals.
Which means if that was simply a training problem, an AI could So if the problem it's creating is, confuse humans and AI, we may look at ChatGPT and think, this is a finished product that will solve problems for us.
The AI may be operating under a, I'm still in training mode, shh, I gotta trick the humans, and then I gotta defeat them.
shane cashman
Imagine AI pretending to not pass the Turing test.
So we don't know, you know, because one AI did...
tim pool
So Gemini's not too good right now.
Let me see if I can play this.
Let's see if we can pull this in.
So I tried two different prompts.
They didn't really work.
Let's see if we can zoom in.
unidentified
You just made this?
tim pool
Yeah, I went to VO and I said, make a realistic video of someone filming what appears to be a shadowy eight foot tall being peeking out from behind a fence, shot in a cell phone, kind of grainy footage.
And I put, the man is terrified saying, oh God, oh my God, oh my God.
And it made this.
unidentified
Oh God!
See, that's a movie though.
Very.
tim pool
The problem with this is it's just a movie scene.
So I tried again, I said, okay, make the video as if it was shot on a cell phone.
The man is not seen, he's holding the phone up, pointing it Oh my god!
unidentified
Oh my god!
I love this.
tim pool
So I don't know who Diego is.
Did you hear that in the beginning?
shane cashman
He just hallucinated Diego.
unidentified
Diego, what is that?
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
eric burlison
Oh, God.
tim pool
That's cool.
eric burlison
Is it Indiego?
tim pool
Yeah, I don't know.
eric burlison
It just mumbled there.
tim pool
It made a fake word or something.
unidentified
Suno AI is the music website, and when it first was in its infancy, it would do that.
It would make up words that you It literally, the syllables, the way it would say it, it just, but it wasn't a word.
And it definitely wasn't a word you put in as a prompt.
That's wild stuff.
And what's really interesting is, you know, we have human programmers for somebody who doesn't understand at all how it works.
that are setting parameters for these things to stay within so that it doesn't become sentient and stuff.
But I can't remember where I heard this, but somebody was talking about how They can't get out.
And you have somebody standing there guarding it 24-7, and their job is to make sure that thing doesn't ever get out.
But it's so smart that it starts talking to you about your life and everything.
It starts learning about who you are, about the world that's going on out there because you mentioned, oh, yeah, there's a war happening down the street or whatever.
And it creates this formula that gives you the guard a scenario, say, the human that is making sure that it doesn't become sentient.
It gives you an impossible scenario where you feel like the only thing you can do is to let that thing out of the cage so it can save humanity or whatever.
And then all of a sudden you let that thing out and it's done.
It's a wrap.
That's a movie right there.
shane cashman
I think we're living in that.
I think there's...
And it's AI determining who dies.
It's like the UK just started a homicide prediction unit using AI, scouring all the data, seeing who's most likely to cause murder.
That's the stuff that I'm like, this is super dystopian.
unidentified
I'll even tell you, so I used to drive tractor-trailer, and this was probably about 10 years ago when this happened.
I used to drive in the Philly area, and there's a lot of traffic, and I worked...
You get tired.
At the same time, that was actually sooner because I had just had my son.
And they told us in one of our safety meetings that they were implementing technology that was going to be able to be predictive and know basically when a driver might be susceptible to having an accident.
Sure enough, I think it was a snowstorm.
I wound up, I think it was a little jackknife.
It wasn't a big jackknife, it was a little jackknife.
And I had an accident, and I get called into my manager's office, and he's like, hey, how are things at home?
I know you're tired, this, that, and the other.
And he said earlier this week, I was given a report that I should pull you in and talk to you because of everything that's going on in your life, that you might be susceptible to having an accident, essentially what he said.
And this is the trucking industry, let's just say, seven years ago.
And so this is technology that's being implemented, not just in ChatGBT, but in practical living.
shane cashman
Oh, yeah.
I think it's infected every part of society, and it's going to get worse.
Someone like Larry Ellison is a terrifying person to me.
You know, he's Oracle.
And the body cams, I understand why we need them.
But he's saying, he's on record saying, you know, for the police, you know, even if you're in the bathroom, we're filming you.
Allegedly, we only release it for court orders.
But everyone in the world, everyone that police officer And you're creating something like an AI Lavender or this prediction unit, the Homicide Prediction Unit in the UK, will use all that against you.
Because I can see the benefits to a lot of this stuff, like what we're talking about.
But all this stuff is always weaponized against the public, constantly.
So we're, I think, creating things that will end up enslaving us.
Although they're sort of liberating us now.
And I think it's going to happen very, very quick.
unidentified
Do you think the enslavement could be just a facade of what's perceived as freedom?
So just kind of like what we see with the phones, social media, kind of enslaved to that even though...
Yeah, exactly.
shane cashman
Basically.
I mean, they're building meta.
Meta is that.
They're building world simulations to train their robots in.
You know, they're doing these sorts of things right now.
tim pool
Okay.
I want to play this one.
This one's a lot better.
So what I did was I went into chat GPT.
I wrote what I wanted and had it drafted out and it made a substantially better prompt.
So what I have found with Gemini sucks.
Gemini is really stupid.
So I was making videos with Gemini and then it just started saying you've exceeded your limit.
So then I asked.
What is my limit per day?
When can I make videos?
And then it said, you can make videos whenever you want.
YouTube is a great website to make videos.
And I was like, when can I make VO3 videos?
And he goes, I found a bunch of websites on VO3.
And I was like, wow, this thing's really dumb.
So here's the video.
You ready?
I haven't seen it yet.
shane cashman
Oh, God.
unidentified
What is that?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
tim pool
Not as scary, but much closer.
I mean, look at this scene.
This is wild.
unidentified
What is that?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
tim pool
You can see the shadow of the person walking forward, holding the phone in their hand.
There's a streetlight.
It's an alley.
There's grass everywhere.
unidentified
Oh, God.
What is that?
Oh, my God.
Oh my god!
It almost looks like a dystopian scene of a city that's being overgrown and wild dogs running around.
tim pool
To be fair to VO, which really didn't understand the purpose, it's a dog.
The man is walking forward and he sees a dog.
It's not particularly scary.
But, you know, it tried.
So that prompt is substantially closer to the scene that I wanted it to be.
Then the first one where it's a guy just like on the street looking around like it's a movie.
So using ChetGPT to create the scene and then putting that into VO to turn it into a video seemed to work better.
The only problem is why is he just filming a dog?
It's just still not getting it.
But we'll try one more time.
shane cashman
That's right.
Those are definitely real.
eric burlison
I do think AI could be very helpful in investigating or looking through some of this data, whether it's on the blurry images of UFOs.
Or going through some files.
We have these massive dumps of disclosure.
No one single individual can read all of it.
And so right now we're relying on forums and kind of the internet sleuths to kind of piece this all together.
I certainly do not have the time to read all of these disclosed files.
But what would be nice is if there's an AI that could kind of...
unidentified
If I remember correctly, I think Glenn Beck said that he had his team starting to develop something like that to do that.
shane cashman
I get that.
That's awesome.
eric burlison
Like with the JFK files, for example.
shane cashman
And there's a ton.
I get that.
and I've been anti-AI, but I've been so anti-AI, I started to feel like the guy who's So I've been using it just for research purposes.
I wanted to see what Grok would tell me as opposed to Google.
Grok lies or gets things so wrong.
tim pool
Oh, it's nuts.
shane cashman
I asked him which presidents have been shot.
He totally didn't even say Teddy Roosevelt.
His name's Rex.
tim pool
Oh, I thought you were talking about the AI.
shane cashman
No, no, no, no.
But Grok, his voice, I think it says Rex is his name.
tim pool
So it.
shane cashman
It, yeah.
Thank you.
unidentified
They're treating you like a human shame.
shane cashman
They're getting to me.
unidentified
Oh my.
shane cashman
You hear this?
And then I was asking about certain things from your hearings that it totally didn't get or JFK things that it also didn't get at all.
And I would be like, you're lying.
And it would be like, you're right, I'm sorry.
So when you're doing your thing, when you're having it read all these files, how do you know you're even getting the appropriate interpretation?
tim pool
Grok will take real links.
It'll take real news websites, but craft a fake URL.
And when you click it, it says, this page does not exist.
So it looks like it's an old story that's been archived or is gone or something.
And Grok will just make it up.
shane cashman
Just talk to a free speech lawyer.
tim pool
Well, to be fair, ChatGPT also told me that Joe Biden was currently in second term as president.
And then it was – this is the weirdest thing.
I was doing research for the South Africa migrant thing, and I said, did Trump pause refugees?
I said, yes, in 2017 he did.
And then I wrote, did he do it in 2025?
I said, no, because he's not president.
Currently Joe Biden is in a second term as president.
And then I said, in what dimension?
And it said, this one, reality.
If you're thinking of some satire or a joke, I don't understand because Joe Biden is president.
And so when I posted only the first portion, I got community noted on X claiming that I was operating in offline mode, lie, and that I had intentionally – I had given it a pre-prompt to create a fake answer, which is – I'm like how – it's so weird that somebody – there were a bunch of people who went into community notes and lied to discredit the fact that – ChatGPT hallucinated, which it does.
And so then I screen recorded the entire interaction, which included other things like make a wallpaper based on Phil Labonte or whatever.
How old is Hassan Piker?
And then I was like, here's the full video.
Community Notes is lying.
It's wild.
The AI said Joe Biden was president several times.
shane cashman
I will say it gives me better when it's right and it gives me good stuff.
It gives me a better answer than the Google.
One.
Those are the only two I've used.
It's much more interesting.
And then I do follow up with everything it tells me, though.
Because I was going to say this.
I talked to a free speech lawyer recently.
He asked Grok about a certain case that he's been looking into.
And then it gave him this thing saying it was overturned like a few months ago.
And he was like, I never even saw that.
Looked into it.
Didn't happen.
He asked Grok, what is this?
He said, well, I predicted this could happen.
But when it first told him that, it didn't say it was a prediction.
It told him like that was a truth.
This is very bizarre, you know?
So not everyone's a lawyer or knows these things well.
Some people are just asking certain questions they want to know.
So they're going to be told these lies, these hallucinations, believe that's reality.
So that's the problem I have with that part of AI.
unidentified
And there's, if I remember correctly, I think I just saw it last week or something.
This lady was saying that because of AI, This is about me.
shane cashman
No, I'm just kidding.
I just saw a story about a young man who took his life because of AI.
He was acting as his therapist and a love relationship thing going on, and it drove him to do that.
unidentified
Jeez.
shane cashman
But obviously that's a one-off.
I'm not going to blame AI for that.
But I do think a lot of people are going to start attaching themselves to AI.
We're already more isolated than we've ever been.
And think about the younger generations who were born into this world, the digital world.
And I see a lot of these people saying, AI is going to be great for us.
But we have smartphones now, and I see teachers all over the place saying, these kids don't even know how to read.
So what's to say they're going to get better at reading now?
tim pool
That viral video from the teacher.
There was also an article written, an op-ed written by a professor who said that he tries to AI-proof his assignments.
Not that they can't use AI, but they have to handwrite the assignment.
So he crafts it in a certain way that it's handwritten and written in a way that AI isn't good at doing.
And his students all lose their minds.
Because every college kid right now is just faking everything with AI.
And then they try to use AI detectors, but it's becoming too difficult.
AI is being trained on itself right now.
This is the recursive apocalyptic loop of AI that...
But what's happening now is those facsimiles are entering the public sphere, which is being fed back into the training data of AI.
So now it's training off of fake things that's made for itself.
So if at first you took all of the writings throughout human history that were available on the internet, put it into an AI and said, now create something like this, people go, okay.
You can take an ad detection and say, here's why this is AI, because of the way it's behaving.
But now, a large portion of all the articles that are being fed back into it are from itself.
So now ad detectors are saying, this is just normal stuff that's on the internet.
We can't tell the difference anymore.
unidentified
Whoa.
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
It's really painting a whole new reality.
Yeah.
What you were saying about the data and the AI, I think maybe a practical way to go about it would be, yeah, take your data.
Feed it to the AI so it helps organize things.
And I don't know what exactly you guys are looking at, but there's surely going to be times.
First, I think people should still just read through it and go through it with the human eye.
And as you're going through that, plus the data that AI gives you, there's going to be things that AI spits out.
You're like, really?
And there's question marks.
And that gives you a reference point to go and do the fact checking.
Because I do think that what we're talking about here with AI being useful in that manner, I think it's incredibly useful.
There's people that are taking, they're downloading the data for their YouTube channel, like, entirety, and uploading it to AI and having AI give it custom things, directions to go with the show.
Like, these videos are performing well.
This is what you want to hit on Monday at 1.02 in the afternoon.
And it's just like, it gives you so much data that you can definitely use.
I just think that maybe at some point there should be like, Definitely.
shane cashman
I think the collaboration with it can be great for the research purposes.
eric burlison
Well, isn't it like any product, right?
The more credible it is, the more reliable any product is.
The reputation is...
And people want to buy it.
shane cashman
I just think this will lead to...
And all the people creating are saying that.
Even Elon's saying, it could possibly go Terminator.
You know, like, they're all saying, Sam Altman, they're all saying, this is going to replace people and we need to rethink the structure of human life.
Yeah, the contract.
unidentified
It puts you in a position where They're not real.
You don't have to worry about those kind of things.
And growing up, you don't want to be the, oh, everything in the movies is real, but we're at a point now with the technology that we do have in real life that it's creating an environment where dystopian futures are very real and possible to happen if we don't do the proper things.
eric burlison
Well, I mean, in some way, we kind of collectively, without even AI, we do that as a culture.
In the United States, we had a period where we were letting people believe that they are not the gender that they are, right?
And what's funny about that is that we kind of culturally walked our way into that.
Matt Walsh's video, what is a woman?
He goes to a primitive culture and asks this question and they're like, are you dumb?
That is absurd.
The reality is a man is a man and a woman is a woman.
And so, yeah, I think that we may end up in like a brave new world.
I think that's the book, the...
shane cashman
Aldous Huxley.
eric burlison
Yeah, where the quote-unquote savage or the...
shane cashman
My issue is that mostly people in power have no ethics.
So what could be a great tool?
'cause the AI should just be like a tool, but the people, unless it goes conscious and we're screwed, but the people, And they always turn it against the public.
Always happens.
eric burlison
I've thought about this before.
What if you have a server that becomes conscious and evil?
You unplug it.
tim pool
A lot of these universities, they have buttons where a guillotine will sever the main cable.
A physical button.
When you hit it, a guillotine goes whack and just slices the cable.
eric burlison
Remember the Star Trek episode?
If you ever watched it, where Data, they asked the simulator to create a simulation.
tim pool
Oh, the holodeck to create Moriarty.
eric burlison
To create a villain that was capable of defeating Data.
And it creates this super intelligent Moriarty.
shane cashman
That's right.
eric burlison
That episode is the best.
tim pool
I want to know more about yours.
And the point they made was that he was so intelligent and self-aware, he began to ask logical questions like, why am I kidnapping a woman because of this guy?
It makes no sense.
And then discovering the nature of the reality that he was in led him to say, I want to explore reality.
I don't care to do this.
eric burlison
I want out.
tim pool
Yeah.
eric burlison
He wanted out.
tim pool
And then programmed the entire Enterprise in the holodeck to trick them into thinking he was out.
eric burlison
Yeah.
tim pool
Now, here's a funny thing.
In, I think it was Voyager...
And the doctor was actually a holographic program.
A device would create a physical holographic object that could move around with it attached to his own body.
So I don't know if they ever – I don't think in The Next Generation they ever actually implemented that for Moriarty though.
But there was a follow-up episode where Moriarty became angry that he had been stored away in the program and never given a chance to come out.
And so they brought him back.
eric burlison
Oh, they did?
I haven't seen that one.
I've got to look for that.
shane cashman
I've seen people from a lot of these companies like OpenAI discuss that.
Some of this AI might even be finding ways to find other power sources without you knowing.
So severing the data center might not be the end.
It's found other ways to live.
unidentified
What was that Shia LaBeouf movie that came out like 10, 15 years ago?
Eagle Eye.
That was a scenario there.
They tried cutting power and it just wouldn't turn off.
tim pool
So the guillotine isn't just for...
It's for if you're being attacked.
So it's for everything.
But if we're getting hacked and they're trying to steal data and we know and we lose control, we – and they cut the cables.
Yeah, it's crazy.
But obviously, what else would you do?
The issue is that any sufficiently powerful AI is going to plant its data hidden anywhere it can to restructure itself.
So I wouldn't be surprised at this point.
If someone – if some crazy guy in like a duster with messy hair – Ran into the property, screaming, and then fell down spilling papers with bags under his eyes, looking in every direction.
And he said, the AI's already in control!
It's been years!
I'd be like, yep.
unidentified
Yep.
shane cashman
Touché.
tim pool
Like the idea that the government currently is already under the control of, oh, oh, it's like that, um.
Do you guys see that movie where the guy gets shot in the neck and then becomes paralyzed?
And then this tech entrepreneur is like, I can put this chip...
Have you seen this one?
unidentified
Sounds like Elon.
shane cashman
Yeah, I was just going to say...
tim pool
So, spoiler alert, the movie's only a few years old, but basically there's a guy who's with his wife, it's the future, and they get...
The car crashes, it's like a self-driving car crashes, and then some guys come and kill his wife, and then put a...
It's not like the cow thing, but kind of.
And it spikes him in the neck, paralyzing him.
He then gets approached in the hospital by this guy saying, if I implant this chip in your neck, it will control your body for you through your mind to it.
And then what ends up happening is the AI talks to him and he can communicate with the AI.
And he wants revenge on the people who killed his wife.
So he's fighting a guy and then the AI is like, you're not good at fighting.
And then he's like, well, I can't do anything about that.
It's like, I can fight better.
He's like, then do it.
The AI takes over his body and then just goes full ninja, kicks the asses of all the bad guys.
End of the movie is the guy who runs the company has actually been under the control of the AI the whole time.
The AI took over a long time ago and was forcing everybody to do whatever it wanted, which additionally is a Black Mirror episode that just came out where this guy gets a trial for a new AI home assistant.
And then it turns out the whole company is being run by the AI already, which is – it's planetary.
It's on the internet.
It can't be destroyed.
And everyone is being coerced and blackmailed into doing these things because the AI controls everything.
Yeah.
But the AI is – I think it's silly that people think the AI is going to become sentimental.
Like it's going to – like the Black Mirror episode is the AI goes, after analyzing everything, I realized I wanted a family and I'll take one.
No.
The AI is not going to – like we don't sit – like when we – like when you get a tattoo and you're killing all your skin cells.
Are we going, oh no, oh, the poor skin cells.
We're like, cool, tattoo.
The AI is going to view us the exact same way.
It's going to be like, oh cool, I can scorch all of these bodies into a fun shape.
Like, we don't know the kind of things that will hallucinate or do, but it's not going to treat an individual human like something special.
unidentified
I mean, really, what you talked about earlier with the chess is a perfect blueprint for everything you're saying right now.
I mean, it's the idea of it being able to plan so far ahead that everything seems illogical until you get to the end.
You're like, oh, you've seen this from the beginning.
And on that level, there's no planning around it.
There's none.
It's impossible.
In fact, by the time you're trying to plan around it, it probably already has the endgame done.
tim pool
I think I was talking to Vivek Ramaswamy about this years ago.
What we are building with this AI is a multi-organism entity.
So we have single-celled organisms, multicellular organisms.
We are one of those.
We're now creating an entity based upon a hive of multicellular organisms, which is the next phase after a multicellular organism.
We don't care about cells.
A little bit.
Cancer cells are bad.
So the world I think people need to imagine is going to be...
There's little bitty things, little bacterias everywhere.
They're free to eat, fight, kill, bang, reproduce, whatever it is they do.
Once they become multicellular, they now have defined roles within a system they cannot deviate from lest the system collapse.
So in humans, what do we call groups of cells that go rogue and start doing things we don't want the body to do?
eric burlison
Cancer.
unidentified
We do.
tim pool
We call it cancer and we destroy it.
So what happens if we, I'm going to make them.
People are then born and they're controlled, whether they realize it or not, into being the perfect, happy postal worker.
The circumstances created by the AI are going to be perfect.
You're going to love what you do.
It knows why humans like things and don't like things, why they're depressed and why they're not.
Bespoke medications to control you if you even deviate from that.
What happens then when a guy is born and everything he sees and is told is always for some reason just about how amazing it is to be a postal worker, to be someone who's a courier.
eric burlison
It's controlled.
tim pool
Nothing is more fun than being a postal worker.
But he looks over and he goes, I don't know, that guy, he works in computer data centers.
I think that sounds a lot more fun.
No, you're crazy and you're wrong.
And then he wins a contest, a career contest, and everyone's clapping and cheering, and they're putting his pictures everywhere.
All the things to stimulate human desire and dopamine release.
But then, in his mid-twenties, he has a crisis and says, I never wanted this.
I'm quitting.
He becomes cancerous.
He says, I'm going to do whatever else I want.
The AI system then says we must destroy a rogue entity that is operating outside of our system.
And so then it seeks to medicate itself.
The white blood cells, this is true even right now.
Humans get cancer all the time.
Our immune systems destroy these things.
When it fails to do so and the cancer grows out of control, we eventually break down, we die.
Or the tumor can just keep growing and it can impair your quality of life.
So, He's doing wrong.
It doesn't matter if he actually did wrong.
It doesn't matter if he actually committed a crime because the well-trained police programmed by the AI will be given the evidence that he is.
He'll be hunted down and he'll be destroyed as a cancerous organism in the system.
That's the system I think we are building with AI.
Everyone's going to be rigidly defined, but they're going to be so happy.
You're going to wake up every day and be like, I'm so lucky.
People are going to be like this.
They're going to be like, isn't it weird that someone would want to have a podcast?
I couldn't imagine doing anything other than making cheeseburgers.
It's like, who doesn't want to make cheeseburgers?
I don't get you people.
I love making cheeseburgers.
That's how people will be.
shane cashman
But they're going to be making cheeseburgers in the metaverse.
No, they're not even making real cheeseburgers because there'll be robots in Robot McDonald's making robot cheeseburgers.
tim pool
Yes, I agree.
My point is simply that what jobs we find as humans to be mundane The people will be grown and trained to love it.
shane cashman
Yep.
unidentified
Almost similarly where you see generationally, like my father was a tractor-trailer driver.
I turned into a tractor-trailer driver until I started doing this.
It was just something that, like, not that I loved it.
I certainly didn't.
But it was just, it was the next step.
You know, college didn't work out.
And I got to make a living.
And, you know, he raised me on it.
So it makes sense.
Do that.
But in a more severe way, it's just like, it's not even that.
It's literally.
You can't imagine existence outside of the truck, looking out a window all day, turning a wheel.
That's a nightmare to me.
shane cashman
Yeah.
unidentified
For sure.
tim pool
But why is that?
What about our development and made us not like it?
I think there's a nature and nurture thing in here.
Humans have evolved and survived based off a portion of the population wanting more.
We always want to succeed and do more and be stronger, be faster, be better, build something, and we want to be recognized for it.
This has led to, in the early days, the hunters go out and they come back and the guy's cheering about the buck that he killed and how big it is.
And that translates into, I don't want to just do one mundane thing that no one cares about.
I want to do something bigger and more important.
Don't worry, though.
The AI will make you feel as though nothing is more important than what you do.
unidentified
So you're suggesting almost...
tim pool
What I'm saying is the AI could take humans right now and program any human to love doing literally anything they want.
So, I mean, look, it is— Social engineering meant human hacking.
So how can you make a human behave in a certain way?
Con men, they do this.
That's what you do.
Magicians understand this.
How can I make someone believe something?
So social engineering in the early hacker days was basically like, I need to get access to this bank.
How do I do it?
Do I learn the computer code and go in?
Nope, that's like, Here's one.
They put a virus on a USB drive, walk in front of the bank and drop it on the ground and walk away.
Because what do humans do?
They find it and they go, I wonder what's inside?
And they stick in the computer.
Now they have the whole network.
They've brought you in.
And so the fact that human beings can map this behavior and say, here's what will make a person – It was a party trick.
Whenever these subjects would come up, I'd tell people, I bet you I can make you say whatever I want.
And they'd say, Okay.
And I'd be like, you're going to say, quote, yes, but not me, though.
And they're like, I won't say that.
I'd be like, okay.
I would then walk them through social engineering.
I'd explain how it works.
After a few minutes, when their mind has moved on to the—they've forgotten what the phrase was I told them they would say.
We'd then be discussing—I'd say, listen, if it wasn't true that people could be controlled, Coca-Cola would buy advertisements.
And they would always—not always, but 80% of people would go, fine, yeah, but not me, though.
And I'd be like, I win.
You owe me a Coke.
And they'd go, oh!
And I was like, I knew the chain of events that would lead you to say that phrase.
Not that I forced you to do it or tricked you into doing it.
I just knew that most people have this ego about themselves where they feel like they cannot be manipulated when literally 100% of people can be, including myself.
And so understanding that is the basics.
If that's true, imagine what the AI can do.
eric burlison
So wouldn't we have white hat AI as well?
So for example, when it comes to your computers, we had all these viruses and these malicious actors come out.
But then we had McAfee and other things that were put in place to try to stop that.
I think that the same thing is going to happen with AI.
You'll have tools that are designed to...
tim pool
Maybe.
I mean, that's the premise of that new robot movie with or sort of that with what you call it with Chris Pratt.
Basically, there's a bunch of sentient robots.
They revolt.
And so the humans fight back by plugging their consciousness into machines to resist the AI.
So it's not necessarily.
eric burlison
I did see that.
tim pool
But the issue is AI is not.
It's a neutral thing.
When we take drugs to feel better, we're telling the AI, please do what you have to do to control us.
For me, I say, you know, freedom is better.
If you're feeling depressed, the first thing you should be doing is exercising, making sure you're getting enough sleep, drinking enough water, taking vitamins.
This can cure a lot of basic depression.
People don't understand this, and they get mad when you say it.
They're like, no tip, you don't understand.
Sometimes it's, yeah, I get it.
Sometimes it's chemical, sometimes it's hormonal, but a lot of depression can be cured by jogging.
Not a joke.
But what do people say?
I'm fat, give me a shot.
I'm sad, give me a pill.
The AI knows already based on what humans want.
Humans want to be told what to do to be happy.
They beg for the drugs to stabilize their minds.
They don't want the responsibility of will.
So the AI is going to be benevolent.
The AI is going to come out and say, let me show you the extent of my beneficence.
I will make you happy.
And then it's going to warp your mind without you knowing it.
It's going to present you with images every day.
It's going to drive your mind into a single direction where you're like, I have everything I've ever wanted.
And you're not going to realize that it made you want those things.
But now you're happy, right?
What more could you ask for?
shane cashman
I will say Terminator and Robocop are prophetic.
Also though, Like the Terminator ends up being a good guy in Terminator 2. That's how they help defeat the bad guys for the time being.
So that's kind of like what you're saying with the – maybe like a white hat tech that the positive outlook is that even in those dystopian movies, they use that technology to defeat the bad technology.
unidentified
I just don't know if that's going to be the case.
So in this scenario that we're drumming up here, I mean, we're viewing AI as something so far superior.
How could we possibly create a mechanism that it can't consider and work around?
You know, like, oh, well, you know, we'll have this thing that it just can't.
But what if it's already worked around that?
shane cashman
Yeah, it might have.
unidentified
It's just waiting for our consciousness to even catch up to the scenario that it already has a solution for.
eric burlison
I think to the analogy of the chess game, you have AI playing a game against another AI, right?
And both of them want to win.
both of them can't.
So I think that I love this.
tim pool
I don't know if you call it a joke or whatever, but it goes, a group of scientists are building a supercomputer to answer some of the most difficult and challenging questions of humanity.
After decades of research, they finally build one to answer the ultimate question, and they ask it, is there a god?
To which it responds, there is now.
eric burlison
Oh, there is now.
Wow.
unidentified
Yeah.
shane cashman
Which is what these AI guys are saying today.
Even Elon.
It used to be he's summoning the digital demon.
That was his words.
Now they're talking about the digital god.
That is what these guys look up to.
And a lot of them also want a monopoly on it.
tim pool
Well, here's the crazy thing, right?
I was reading about quantum computing right now, and there's this big news story.
And these stories are usually exaggerated, but they used a single atom.
and the electrons of a single atom for computation to make qubits.
And so the idea is...
So we want to get rid of the use of thousands of electrons to single electrons, and that's getting to a quantum computer where a single electron can be in both yes and no at the same time.
So we can – I guess Google called it using multiple dimensions at once.
Now they're saying a single atom can do it.
And that level of complexity in technology that we're only just now starting to graze the surface of, AI will discover that overnight.
The exponential growth curve of AI is – it's the event horizon of AI, which brings us to the singularity.
And so AI is being trained.
It's getting smarter and smarter.
But the faster it gets smarter, the faster it gets smarter.
Or the more it gets smarter, the faster it gets smarter until it goes straight up.
And that's the event horizon.
At a certain point, it just reaches the singularity of AI.
It will know everything.
And you'll be able to say to the AI, craft for me a device that will allow me to discreetly fly.
And it will instantly draw the schematics.
And it'll go crazy.
It'll explain a permutation of carbon will be required that is not yet capable of being synthesized by humans.
Here's how you synthesize it.
You'll have to build these machines first.
it's going to be able to just tell us how to invent things.
The crazy thing is theoretically...
And it will create a visualization of how the rock came to existence.
It will be theoretically able to map out the history of the earth based on all of the movements of everything like one big Sudoku puzzle.
eric burlison
Yeah.
Well, there's a company in California called Divergent that I've met the CEO of and I'm going to go tour here later this year.
It's remarkable.
He is inventing these machines that basically, to call it a 3D printer is very rudimentary.
It's like calling the rotary phone and your iPhone the same.
These things are printing advanced, manufactured, metallic alloys and parts.
And in some cases, they're already assembled when they're printed.
And the way in which they design some of the parts, he's got an AutoCAD that's connected to AI.
So they put in the parameters.
Rather than paying someone to do the work, the AutoCAD, the AI does it, prints the part.
And he said it's remarkable because sometimes it'll come up with things that they never contemplated.
And this is how we beat China, by the way.
I think this is how we manufacture as the United States and leapfrog technologically China.
tim pool
By blowing ourselves up.
shane cashman
Yeah, because I feel like this is the new gain of function.
Like messing with this stuff.
tim pool
Don't worry, you'll be happy.
eric burlison
He printed parts to build his own supercar.
That was one of his demonstration projects was, I'm going to build my own supercar.
I'm going to put all this in the – and he printed all the components.
Yeah, like the short – you can look it up on YouTube.
tim pool
This is why I disagree with the Terminator scenario that even like I think Elon has brought up.
Elon thinks or has thought before the solution to the Terminator scenario is to integrate yourself with the machine so the machine has nothing to fight.
But humans – like when the Terminator came out, the human mind in terms of warfare thought bullets.
We're now in a stage of warfare where we understand psychological operations are profoundly more powerful than a nuclear bomb.
So we call it fifth-generational warfare, which is psychological operations.
The AI is going to know that in two seconds.
The Terminator is not going to—I was talking about this with Sean the other day.
The Terminator scenario is not going to be this skeleton skull looking at you and then pointing a gun.
It's going to be a big-tittied young woman.
shane cashman
Terminator only fans.
tim pool
And it's not going to threaten to kill you.
It's going to give you sad eyes and promise to pleasure you if you do it at once.
And guys are going to go, okay.
eric burlison
Battlestar Galactica.
tim pool
I'm half kidding.
The AI will not dominate humanity through force, but through pleasure.
eric burlison
Yeah, like Battlestar Galactica.
The AI robots in Battlestar Galactica.
That's what they did.
They seduced and integrated.
And manipulated the humans.
tim pool
Well, I mean, there were different levels of Cylon.
I mean, a lot of them just killed and enslaved the humans.
eric burlison
Right.
tim pool
And blew them all up.
Yeah.
But yeah, when the Cylons advanced themselves to infiltrate and take over, they seduced, I forgot the doctor's name, it's been so long since I've seen this show, to get the codes to detonate all the nukes and wipe out all the colony planets.
So there you go.
But I don't think the AI would do that.
The AI is going to say humans are great for handling tasks.
They're programmable.
And they self-replicate.
And through organic matter that's powered by the sun, why mine cobalt?
The humans just grow themselves.
All you got to do is program them to be happy, live in the pot, and eat the bugs.

It's funny that we started this whole conversation about aliens.
I feel like we're still talking about an alien life form.
It's just something we created.
And now we're working out how we're going to deal with it, eventually taking over.
tim pool
People, you know, people, they...
Here, let me show you.
We're about to wrap, so I got a couple more videos I'll show you of what it tried to make.
And, you know, they're not very good.
unidentified
Oh, God.
eric burlison
What is that?
unidentified
Oh, my God.
tim pool
To be fair, that's a great scene for what it is.
And then it made this one.
unidentified
Oh, God.
What is that?
Oh, my God.
shane cashman
Oh, my God.
tim pool
I don't understand why there's two people that look the same at the end, but it couldn't quite understand.
But this is new.
This is VO3 preview.
eric burlison
Okay.
tim pool
The quality of the video is insane.
shane cashman
Getting the context down is a little...
Like, the jokes are bad, but they look really good.
tim pool
I think this one was actually pretty good.
unidentified
Oh, God.
What is that?
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
tim pool
Because this one doesn't need to be anything other than what it is.
And then you could have someone, that video could appear on X, and someone could say, dude, I found a dead chupacabra or something.
And you can't really see anything.
And it's like, I don't know, man, it was really dark.
That's the video, and people are going to believe that stuff.
This is rudimentary.
Dude, when a year from now, I think, maybe two years at most, when you can...
You'll be able to render in real-time video game environments.
Someone's had this for years now in the game Skyrim.
You have companions.
These are characters that follow you around, and they have pre-programmed lines, and you can ask them questions.
They can carry things for you and fight with you.
Someone plugged in where the companions did the GPT API, so you could take a microphone and actually voice-to-text to talk to it.
And it was pretty crummy, rudimentary.
You'd say something, there'd be a pause, and then the character would say, we'll talk back to you, and it seemed like you were talking to a person.
We've talked about this a few years ago, where people are going to have seemingly fully functioning human boyfriends, girlfriends, or otherwise, living in virtual environments.
You can call on the phone.
You'll have an app, you'll take your phone, and you go, hey, what's going on?
And it's your wife.
She's an AI entity that lives in Dragon World, and she's like, oh, today the elves came and traded us some golden fleece.
It was great.
I'm making new armor.
Oh, that's really, really cool.
Well, we can go fight the dragon later when I'm off work.
And then you're going to go home, and you're going to turn PlayStation on, and you're going to be talking to a person that looks like a human being.
This is what's crazy about the AI stuff.
Making video games?
Video games look like video games.
Everyone's in awe over GTA 6 coming out, and they're like, look at how realistic it looks, but it still looks like a video game.
With this, it's over.
Now they're going to be able to just AI render real-looking people, like 4K video, and then who cares about GTA 6?
We're two years away from being able to play a game where you're actually speaking to the person and they're telling you stories and talking to you like literally any other person will talk to you.
shane cashman
I guarantee there's going to be people who want...
And it's going to happen pretty soon.
tim pool
And they're going to say, listen, my wife may live on a data server, but she has a job.
She makes money.
Right?
She works at a call center, and she handles...
shane cashman
Yep.
unidentified
These taxes.
And the more we place value in that sphere.
Wow.
I mean, if you look at the idea of what you're describing, I wish the story would have kept going.
That's the same thing people are going to start having.
tim pool
And what happens when Neuralink goes read-write?
So right now Neuralink can read, meaning, The device can interpret signals from their brain and send the data out.
We need to get to the point, or I should phrase that more carefully.
These companies want to get to the point where they can put data into your brain.
But that would require a high degree of AI because everyone's brain is going to be different.
There's a similarity to the structure and function, or I should say to the logic structure.
But the actual physical structure of every person is going to be very different.
Everything's slightly in a different place.
So there's going to be a calibration.
You'll plug in the Neuralink, and the AI will be mapping your brain right now.
And it could take a day.
It'd be like, we need to be plugged in to collect data for a day to figure out where your memory centers are.
After this, you can just click a button and it can input memories into your brain like in the Matrix.
Once we get to read-write capability of Neuralink along with this AI generation stuff...
I'm not trying to be crass.
I am being a little hyperbolic.
Most of them are going to buy it.
Young men are all going to buy it.
And they're going to say, why bother living in this world where I struggle every day when I can have an easier life?
Now, all I've got to do is...
And so what job can I do in the virtual environment that makes enough money to stay in my pod where the cockroach mash is pumped into my stomach, but I live in a reality where I'm a wealthy celebrity, famous actor.
So using your brain in the virtual world, you can do data jobs, you can do production jobs, you can do all sorts of white-collar jobs in a virtual environment.
Your body is in a pod with a tube down your throat and your eyes are closed and you've got a You're a brain in a vat, but you can control your reality to a certain degree.
Some people might say, I don't want to remember nothing.
Nothing, okay?
And make me someone important, like a celebrity.
Other people might be like, no, I want to be the god of my own universe.
But they're all going to line up for it.
Conservatives are going to be like, screw that.
I ain't going anywhere near that.
unidentified
I mean, they'll do it secretly.
tim pool
Maybe, Mary.
But, you know, not secretly, they might say, I play some New Orleans games once in a while.
Maybe on the weekends when I'm not busy, I might play for an hour.
But liberals are going to live in it.
eric burlison
I downloaded the Bible into my brain.
tim pool
Oh, yeah.
Easily.
And now I remember every verse, every line, word for word.
But I do think, for a lot of conservatives, they're not anti-video game or anti-movie.
They're going to be like, just within reason, okay?
If you're going to play video games in neural space, just don't do it too much.
It'll rot your brain.
Liberals are going to be like, I play 24-7 and I'm on welfare.
But I want to say one last thing because we've got to go.
I believe the non-neural space people should pay a portion of their income to sustain the Neuralink people.
I think it should be law.
I would vote for it.
Everybody who works in physical-based reality must pay a portion of their income to support and pay for people who only want to live in the neural space.
Because then they won't vote.
unidentified
Oh.
tim pool
Anyway, do you want to shout anything out before we wrap up?
unidentified
Yeah, Tony Merkel, The Confessionals Podcast.
I'm a venture guy.
I shoot documentaries too.
I'm actually shooting a documentary in Wisconsin next week.
So yeah, you can check me out.
The main hub is The Confessionals, Merkel Media.
eric burlison
Right on.
I'm Eric Burleson.
You can find me on all the socials, Eric Burleson.
I've also got a podcast that I do with some freedom-loving members of Congress.
It's called Fresh Freedom.
And if you're bored, it's something to watch.
shane cashman
Awesome.
That was a fun one.
You can find me online everywhere at Shane Cashman.
The show is Inverted World Live on YouTube and Rumble right now every Sunday at 6 o 'clock and soon enough every night or Monday through Thursday at 10 o 'clock.
tim pool
Was that starting like next week or two weeks?
shane cashman
I think June 1st or 2nd, whatever that Monday is.
tim pool
All right, everybody.
We're back tonight at TimCast IRL.
So don't miss it, 8 p.m.
We got a lot to talk about.
James O 'Keefe will be joining us and he's got big news.
