QAA - Premium Episode 131: Time Cube (Sample) Aired: 2021-07-04 Duration: 17:22 === TimeCube Above God (10:27) === [00:00:03] What's up QAA listeners? [00:00:04] The fun games have begun. [00:00:09] I found a way to connect to the internet. [00:00:11] I'm sorry boy. [00:00:15] Welcome, listener, to Premium Chapter 131 of the QAnon Anonymous Podcast, the TimeCube episode. [00:00:22] As always, we are your hosts, Jake Rokitansky, Julian Field, and Travis View. [00:00:27] QAnon isn't the first, nor will it be the last conspiracy theory of everything. [00:00:32] In 1997, a man named Gene Ray launched a website he called TimeCube, laying out his jumbled and ambitious vision. [00:00:39] The result? [00:00:40] Dozens of listeners writing in to make sure we podcast about their precious cube. [00:00:44] Now, usually when we do something like this, Jake has long called dibs. [00:00:48] But this time, a new challenger appeared. [00:00:51] Travis View, who eagerly asked to be the Time Cube guy. [00:00:55] This may be hard to believe, but as the internet started to mature about two decades ago, it was fairly difficult to find the deranged thoughts of Krinks. [00:01:04] The 90s and early 2000s were the days before social media as we know it today. [00:01:10] The most popular early forums, such as newsgroups and bulletin board services, were tightly moderated. [00:01:15] So if someone started posting some incoherent nonsense, they were often greeted with a banhammer. [00:01:21] He misses those days so bad. [00:01:23] It's almost like a cowboy looking back on the West and being like, the West is gone now. [00:01:27] Used to be. [00:01:29] Used to be, you know, some 19-year-old nerd would just ban you because they found you irritating and no one would cry, censorship or anything like that. [00:01:36] They moved on with their life. [00:01:38] Back then, if you wanted to publish your unfiltered thoughts online about forbidden science or whatever, you needed to construct your own website, which required a small amount of technical knowledge and personal stability. [00:01:50] That was enough to prevent most cranks from publishing their brain-scrambling ideas. [00:01:54] But that barrier wasn't enough to stop a man named Otis Eugene Ray, the inventor of the Time Cube principle. [00:02:01] Gene Ray, as he was better known online, was an elderly former electrician from Georgia who claimed he had been working on this theory for decades. [00:02:10] Time Cube was a baffling theory of everything that gained notoriety right before the Web 2.0 era. [00:02:18] At one point, it was synonymous with incomprehensible rambling and conspiracy theorizing, much in the same way that QAnon is today. [00:02:26] And it all started with a single, text-heavy website. [00:02:30] Sometime in 1997, Gene Ray published the first iteration of TimeCube.com. [00:02:36] What that very first webpage looked like may be lost to history forever. [00:02:39] However, the earliest version of the site was preserved by the Web Archive, and it dates back to June of 1998. [00:02:47] By the way, this entire episode and much of internet history is only possible thanks to the Web Archive. [00:02:52] I think I might donate to that site after this because it really is a miracle of an organization. [00:02:57] The header for TimeCube.com back in 98 states in all caps and blue text, Nature's Harmonic Simultaneous Forte TimeCube. [00:03:07] Next to these words is an animated gif of a spinning cube labeled Day. [00:03:12] That gif also included four arrows to indicate the direction of the spin. [00:03:17] Below that were these words in red letters. [00:03:20] Earth has four simultaneous days with only one rotation. [00:03:24] Losing three days in each Earth rotation has retarded your mentality to stupid and an education of evil. [00:03:32] You do not have the mind or education to envision nature's time cube. [00:03:36] Pretty aggressive, immediately. [00:03:39] It is. [00:03:41] The entire site was like a combination of advocating the theory, which is not comprehensible. [00:03:47] I don't even understand it, even after studying it for many days. [00:03:51] But it also, combined with that, was constantly insulting the reader for their inability to understand. [00:03:57] Now the words below that didn't really clear anything up. [00:04:00] It's in all caps, and it reads... THREE EQUATOR. [00:04:04] FOUR CORNER EARTH. [00:04:05] TIME ROTATES NINETY-SIX HOURS AS A SIMULTANEOUS FOUR-DAY CUBE. [00:04:10] YOU WERE TAUGHT THAT THE EARTH HAS ONLY ONE EQUATOR, AS IF THE EARTH WAS FLAT. [00:04:14] YOU WERE TAUGHT IGNORANCE. [00:04:15] CREATION HAS TWO SEX PULLS AND FOUR CORNER RACES OF HUMANS. [00:04:20] GOD IS CORNERED AS A QUEER. [00:04:21] JEAN RAY. [00:04:22] CUBIC. [00:04:23] Below that, there's even more text that goes on to really explain nothing. [00:04:27] If Earth stood still, it would have a midday, midnight, sunup, and sundown as four corners. [00:04:35] Each rotation of Earth has four middays, four midnights, four sunups, and four sundowns. [00:04:41] The 16 space times demonstrates cube proof of four full days simultaneously on Earth within one rotation. [00:04:49] The academia created one day Greenwich time is bastardly queer and dooms future youth and nature to a hell. [00:04:57] Ignorance of four-day harmonic cubic nature indicts humans as unfit to live on Earth. [00:05:03] Gene Ray. [00:05:04] Cubic. [00:05:04] Below that, Gene Ray issues a challenge to anyone who disputes the Time Cube. [00:05:09] I will give $1,000 to any person who can disprove four days in each Earth rotation. [00:05:15] It's a pity that religious and academic word is a crime against nature and enslaves children. [00:05:21] Until word is cornered, all math is fiction. [00:05:24] At the bottom of the page, Gene Ray seems to explain why he believes that Greenwich Mean Time doesn't exist. [00:05:31] Greenwich Time is a lie. [00:05:32] Your midday is someone else's midnight, someone else's sundown, and even someone else's sunup. [00:05:38] Do you know that time is a simultaneous four-corner square that rotates to a four-day time cube within one to twenty-four hour rotation of Earth? [00:05:47] You are educated stupid and unable to know nature's four-day time cube. [00:05:52] You can't get through a single sentence without calling someone the R-word, or stupid, or queer. [00:05:58] It's incredible. [00:05:59] Yeah, this was accompanied by a bunch of diagrams, but again, that really failed to clear anything up, at least for me. [00:06:05] Below that, there are three hyperlinks, one of which leads to a separate website called AboveGod.com, which Gene Ray had also created. [00:06:14] AboveGod.com said this, Christianity is poison forced upon children. [00:06:19] Nature's harmonic Time Cube creation reigns supreme. [00:06:22] Welcome to the site where Time Cube is above God. [00:06:25] God is ignorance. [00:06:27] Educators are stupid. [00:06:29] In one rotation of Earth there are 24 hours of midnight, 24 hours of midday, 24 hours of sun up, 24 hours of sun down. [00:06:34] of midday, 24 hours of sun up, 24 hours of sun down. Human God can see only one quarter of each." [00:06:43] What's kind of fascinating about this is that he both hates religion it seems and science. [00:06:48] Like, he... Yeah, right? [00:06:52] This is literally, it says, God is ignorance, educators are stupid. [00:06:55] And that's very uncommon to punch in both directions at once, because who are you left with? [00:07:01] You're left with Gene Ray, the wisest man on earth. [00:07:03] Yeah, you're left with a time cube. [00:07:05] God on the left, educators on the right, stuck in the middle with Gene. [00:07:10] Timecube.com featured a public visitor counter, which was typical of early websites. [00:07:16] The earliest iteration of the site shows only 222 hits a year after the site was created, so at first it was getting less than a single visitor a year. [00:07:25] However, in 1999, the site was starting to be discovered, and it boasted of over 60,000 hits in the first 10 months of that year. [00:07:34] By March of 2000, the website had over 290,000 visits. [00:07:38] Possibly in response to the site's growing popularity, Gene Ray began adding more content to the page during these years, such as this. [00:07:46] Your own people will kill you to prevent this forbidden truth cube from ever being known. [00:07:52] Socrates was killed to hide truth from public. [00:07:55] One Corner God is a fraud. [00:07:57] Are you afraid to know? [00:07:59] All educated are stupid from brainwashing and indoctrination. [00:08:03] Pedants cannot comprehend that there are four simultaneous years within a single rotation of Earth about the Sun. [00:08:10] Each season has its own separate year. [00:08:13] Life is a crapshoot with a femininity cube and a masculinity cube. [00:08:18] Mostly, whenever he added updates, he just took all the content he already had and just added a new, like, center-aligned section to it. [00:08:25] So the page just grew bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger over the years. [00:08:30] In 2000, he also added a new page to the site called, Are You Jewish? [00:08:45] Now that I've cleared up that stuff, are you a fucking Jew? [00:08:48] Let's get to the bottom of this. [00:08:51] So apparently he was, it seems like he was, um, he was responding to a frequently asked question. [00:08:57] Oh, okay, yeah. [00:08:58] It's not like a test you have to pass to read his page. [00:09:01] No, no. [00:09:01] If you're Jewish, I don't want you looking at these holy, this holy cube concept. [00:09:05] It might make you too powerful since it matches directly, I believe, with your Star of David. [00:09:10] No, no, it sounds like, yeah, it sounds like, for some reason it wasn't called, Am I Jewish? [00:09:16] But no, it sounds like he's trying to answer the question. [00:09:18] But he answered it this way. [00:09:20] I am not Jewish. [00:09:21] Neither was my mother or father. [00:09:24] Anyone saying that Jesus and his Jewish father had something to do with my birth is a damn evil liar. [00:09:31] I am of nature's harmonic time cube, in which both word and God are outlawed. [00:09:36] No plant nor animal speaks word. [00:09:39] A fraud by evil adults. [00:09:40] Ray shot back at accusations that he was stupid or crazy by declaring himself both the greatest thinker and the wisest human. [00:09:48] Nice. [00:09:49] He stated this on the website. [00:09:50] I am a cubic thinker and far wiser than any God, any scientist, and any educator who preaches the evil singularity of a single first corner. [00:10:00] To drive this point home, he created the sites TheGreatestThinker.com and TheWisestHuman.com. [00:10:09] Folks, get your hands on I'mRight.com and guess what? [00:10:14] At one point he complained that he wasn't being permitted to express his views at educational institutions. === Lionel's Journey: From Joke to Controversy (03:02) === [00:10:20] I am not allowed to lecture at the word animal academic institutions, for they fear my wisdom [00:10:25] will expose and indict the pen and hirelings as betrayers of dumbass students. [00:10:31] The dung heads who allow their freedom of speech to be suppressed without a whimper, [00:10:35] unbelievable. [00:10:36] Word animals will feel the wrath of cubic curse. [00:10:41] I have to give it to him. [00:10:42] It's incredible. [00:10:43] Word animals will feel the wrath of cubic curse. [00:10:46] Very beautiful. [00:10:46] Right. [00:10:47] That is a unique use of language. [00:10:49] I'll give him that. [00:10:49] It really is. [00:10:50] Because of his outsized online personality and unique content, he actually did start to get attention from the media and academia. [00:10:58] Sometime in 1999 or 2000, Gene Ray was interviewed several times by a man named Michael William LeBron, who is better known by his pseudonym Lionel. [00:11:08] What? [00:11:08] Lionel? [00:11:08] Lionel! [00:11:25] Yeah. So these interviews were broadcast through a short-lived radio internet site called Iyada, [00:11:32] and no surviving copies are known to exist today. However, Lionel played a big part in [00:11:38] helping spread the word of TimeCube beyond the early message boards. [00:11:42] And of course, like you mentioned, Lionel would go on to become not just a QAnon promoter, but he would go on to become a QAnon promoter who caused some controversy when he went to the White House and was photographed with Trump in the Oval Office. [00:11:54] Lionel also, in the mid-2000s, interviewed again, and it was pretty clear that Lionel thought that Gene Ray was a joke and even encouraged his audience to to screw with him. It was kind of messed up. He's treating [00:12:06] him like a clown. [00:12:07] In 2001, Gene Ray was interviewed by a San Francisco man named Bruno Connelly. [00:12:12] A recording of that interview survived, and it is the earliest available recording of Gene Ray. [00:12:17] Hello? [00:12:30] Hello, can I speak to Gene Ray, please? [00:12:32] Hey, Gene Ray. [00:12:33] Hey, Gene. [00:12:33] My name's Bruno. [00:12:34] I'm calling from San Francisco, California, and I'm doing a little studying on the time cube, and I was wondering if you might have a few minutes to chat with me about it? [00:12:42] Sure. [00:12:43] So maybe if you could just explain the basics of the time cube theory itself? [00:12:48] Well, primarily, we have been miseducated into taking the biblical one first day and the academic Greenwich one-day Earth rotation. [00:13:01] There are actually four simultaneous 24-hour days in one rotation of Earth. === Four Corners of Time (04:19) === [00:13:07] When we measure time from one point on Earth, actually four times, or four points exist. [00:13:13] One at midday, one at sundown, one at midnight, and one at sunup. [00:13:19] And the four corners rotate 24 hours each for 96 hours. [00:13:26] And that's all that is. [00:13:27] Some of them try to think that And hence your theory on debunking Greenwich Mean Time? [00:13:33] You can only exist in one corner at a time during the four corner rotation, but three other people can exist in the [00:13:40] others. [00:13:41] And hence your theory on debunking Grinch meantime, the fact that there is no concept of a single day because we [00:13:47] always have these four days. [00:13:48] That's right. You are one of four. [00:13:50] Just like your body has a back and two sides, but you only walk in one direction. [00:13:55] You are a human is really a quarter or one corner. [00:13:59] Bruno Conley seems to be a very compassionate and open. [00:14:02] open-minded interviewer and he seems to make an earnest effort to take Gene Ray seriously. [00:14:07] Ray claims that he had been working on this theory for 20 years and at one point he seems [00:14:12] to say that he created the Time Cube site after getting repeatedly banned from message [00:14:17] boards. [00:14:18] To the best of your knowledge, are you the first person to have discovered the Time Cube? [00:14:21] Yes, I can't find anything anywhere. [00:14:24] They threw me, I used to get on some of the internet scientific and philosophy boards [00:14:29] and they threw me off because I wouldn't compromise with them. [00:14:32] And so that's the reason I started the Time Cube. [00:14:35] By the end of the interview, Ray talks about his belief that our fathers are fish because [00:14:40] our DNA originated in sperm? [00:14:43] So, hey, let me ask you another question. [00:14:45] Did you know your father was a fish? [00:14:47] My father was a fish? [00:14:47] No. [00:14:48] Please explain. [00:14:49] Well, he was a micro-sperm fish. [00:14:51] I mean, the sperm swims upstream, just like the salmon do. [00:14:56] They fertilize the female egg laid in the water. [00:15:00] Interesting. [00:15:01] It is. [00:15:01] And so it's so fascinating, the stuff that you can come up with in this thing. [00:15:07] But see, what religion does primarily, it is a cessation of Yeah, good deal. [00:15:13] inquiry for higher being, a higher life. [00:15:18] In other words, you know, they won't let people go about that. [00:15:22] And so, but hey, I appreciate you calling. [00:15:24] Anything you can do. [00:15:26] Yeah, I appreciate the chat and perhaps we'll have the opportunity to chat again someday [00:15:30] and debate it again. [00:15:31] Yeah, good deal. [00:15:32] Cheers. [00:15:33] Yeah, thank you. [00:15:33] Thanks, Jane. [00:15:33] Bye. [00:15:34] But this actually doesn't track because none of us look like sperm. [00:15:41] We look like our human parents. [00:15:44] Most of the people I hang out with look like cum. [00:15:49] Despite the incomprehensibility of Gene Ray's theories, he developed the following among college students. [00:15:56] This led to an invitation to speak on a panel about TimeCube at the prestigious University MIT. [00:16:02] What? [00:16:03] Well, I think it was... this is really more of a student-led thing. [00:16:07] It was like, these tech students who were overwhelmingly over-represented on the internet just thought this TimeCube theory was hilarious. [00:16:14] And it sounds like someone said, oh, wouldn't it be funny if we got them to talk here? [00:16:18] Yeah. [00:16:18] And they succeeded. [00:16:20] Some IRL shitposting. [00:16:21] Yeah. [00:16:22] Will you hire the shitposter to come post at your panel? [00:16:26] They had to rewrite the entire mathematics and science curriculum at MIT afterwards because of the revelations he made during that speech. [00:16:32] Here's how the event was described by the organizer. [00:16:35] Guest speaker Gene Ray will talk about his world-famous harmonic time cube. [00:16:39] A question-and-answer session will follow the talk, along with a panel debate composed of Gene Ray, Harvard, and MIT representatives. [00:16:46] Event open to members of the MIT community only. [00:16:49] Gene Ray appeared at the MIT events while wearing a white golf shirt and a hat with the words TimeCube.com and MIT2002 emblazoned on them.
