It's finally happened.
Russia has deployed their Satan 2 missile for combat duty.
That's it.
I don't know what it means, but I tell you, when it comes to historical major events, they are often... it's often incremental.
When we look back on history, we won't count the days from when the war started to when Russia deployed one of the most powerful nuclear weapons known to man.
And then how long it took until they activated, detonated it, and actually wiped out a military target.
For now, we are standing in the middle of the forest, wondering where it is.
Because all we can see is the trees.
And I don't know, perhaps they activate this bomb, the Satan 2.
I believe, correct me if I'm wrong guys, this is a tsunami bomb, right?
I want to make sure I have this tsunami bomb.
It blows up on the coast and then sends a massive wave, you know, over these cities or whatever.
They've deployed it and tensions are escalating.
So we'll talk about that.
We've got a few other stories, but we might actually just wing it and have a relaxed Friday, because we have a lot of other things to talk about, a bit more profound questions.

Well, I'll wrap it up there.
Joining us today to talk about this and so much more is Jimmy Corsetti.
jimmy corsetti
Tim, thank you so much for having me on.
Phil, Ian, Serge, it's an absolute pleasure.
I've been following you for a long time.
You're killing it.
And we've got some topics we've got to nail tonight.
tim pool
Who are you?
What do you do?
jimmy corsetti
Well, my name is Jimmy Corsetti.
I have a YouTube channel called Bright Insight.
It mostly focuses on the mysteries of lost ancient human civilizations and various conspiracies.
And a lot of people know me as the Atlantis guy because there's a site in the northwest corner of the Sahara Desert called the Rishat Structure or the Eye of the Sahara.
And it's kind of taken the internet by storm in that it matches more than a dozen striking similarities to what Plato had described as a lost capital city of Atlantis.
So that's how many people know me.
However, I will say that with your show and the discussion of politics and current events, if there's anything I've learned through my studies of history is that it seems that it's repeating itself.
And now more than ever, people need to be paying attention, studying history.
And it doesn't have to necessarily go as far back as the ancients, but I will say what's from the Romans and the Greeks and how those massive empires had fallen apart.
There are, I regret to say, some similarities happening right in front of us.
So, people need to be paying attention because history often repeats itself.
It's not a cliche saying, it's just that human behavior is very predictable when you look at it on a vast timeline.
tim pool
I have a very clever news segue for the news topic into your discussion.
jimmy corsetti
The tsunami bomb?
tim pool
Yeah, well, you got Russia deploying this nuclear weapon, and you've got people being like, no, no, no, talk more about the ancient techniques, the Atlantis and stuff, and it's like, very simply, We can't open that door when we discuss nuclear war and the conspiracy that aliens came and deactivated nuclear weapons during the Cold War.
You know about that one, right?
jimmy corsetti
That they showed up at the missile silos and hit the off button?
tim pool
Yeah, yeah.
jimmy corsetti
I'll save it.
tim pool
I'll save it.
But there's funny stuff.
So thanks for hanging out, man.
It's gonna be a blast.
We got Phil Labonte.
phil labonte
How you doing, everybody?
My name is Phil Labonte, lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains, anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.
ian crossland
And I'm Ian Crosland.
What's up?
Thank you, Phil.
Hey, guys, when you go to TimCast.com and sign up, check out Cast Castle over on the left, especially Heavy Wager, the most recent episode.
I think we did a really good job with it.
And I'd love to get your feedback and hope you enjoy it.
Also, Ehrenheimer, the episode before it goes on and on.
But take a look at Cast Castle if you haven't seen it yet.
We do a lot of work with it.
It's really fun.
Surge.
serge du preez
Ian, what's up?
Hi guys, I'm here for Kellen because he was here all week.
Nice to see you again.
Let's get into it, Tim.
tim pool
Here we go from TimCast.com.
Russia activates world's most powerful nuke.
The Satan 2 missile is 1,000 times stronger than the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and could destroy the UK in six minutes.
Now, I want to slow down there a minute, and the most powerful nuke, there's a variety of reasons why it's described that way, but I think it's fair to say that there is a diminishing return on the power of the nuclear weapons we currently have, and it's because, you know, I love Moore's Law.
You guys are familiar with Moore's Law, right?
That, you know, every two years the processing power doubles or whatever.
And then eventually got to the point where they were like, no, it's officially going to stop.
But then they did multi-core processors.
So they figured out a way that make the law technically keep going.
That's the thing with nuclear weapons.
It got to the point where we had these very, very powerful nukes.
We had Tsar Bomba.
And then eventually someone was like, I got an idea.
Let's just put 12 nukes in one rocket.
And now we've got something substantially more powerful.
And it's like, okay, well, there you go.
So for this one, it is powerful.
But we've got nukes that are 1,000 to 1,200 times more powerful than the bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The Satan 2 missile, while massive and extremely powerful, standing at 100 feet high, nearly unstoppable, is one of, I would say in my opinion, not that I'm a combat expert or anything, one of the most powerful nuclear weapons.
It's being deployed into combat duty.
And I already know a lot of people, we've got one super chat, From Tim Jake saying that it's standard replacement of obsolete equipment and things like that.
Some people are saying, oh, don't be so dramatic.
Here's why I think there's a reason we bring this up.
I think I have the story right here from the AP.
Ukrainian drones strike deep in Russian territory, Moscow says, while a barrage in Kiev kills two.
Vladimir Putin said they would not use nukes unless they were facing an existential threat.
And now we are escalating to the point.
Insider reported just the other day, two days ago, the ruble is failing, and now more Russians are cutting back on buying basic goods like food and toothpaste.
You've got this, several now, military strikes in Russia.
There was a military incursion into Russia from the Ukrainian side, and now Russia is deploying, whether it's a standard replacement or the activation of their most powerful weapon.
We are escalating to that point.
The most important thing to understand with this, this is reality.
There is no point where someone comes and grabs you by the shoulders and screams, the nukes have been launched, it's happening now.
Almost everything that happens is gradually and then suddenly.
Which means, when we look back on history, a hundred years from now, when they look back, they're not going to teach young people, assuming there are people, I don't know, they're not going to teach them that You know, in today's class, we're going to read about the two year... For the next two years of school, we're going to be reading about the day-to-day, you know, monotony of the political class and politics in these countries.
No, they're going to say, the date was November, you know, 17th, 2020, with Donald Trump now contesting the election.
This led to the July 40th, you know, the July 15th, whatever.
And then we saw one year later, the deployment of the Satan 2 missile, of course, Two years after that, it was deployed and New York City was heavily damaged.
That's how quickly it goes when you're going through history.
For us sitting here right now, understand this could be something, it could be nothing, I don't know, but this is how it will always be.
Another grain of sand is added to the heap.
I have to say, when Russia activates one of the most powerful nuclear weapons that we've been fearing for some time, they've expressed The intent to use nuclear weapons in the event they face an existential threat, and now we are entering into war on Russian territory and a threat to their existence.
We're a lot closer than we have been in a very, very long time to the use of nuclear weapons.
Now, I am not saying they're gonna nuke New York or anything like that, but New York did put out a PSA, what was it, like two years ago, about what to do in the event of a nuclear strike.
More importantly, keep your eyes open for an escalation of this war.
Tucker Carlson warned that in order to stop Trump, they will declare hot war with Russia officially.
I think the first thing we'll see is likely going to be tactical nuclear weapons on in the combat field, nuclear artillery.
I do not think we're going to see the use of the Satan 2 missile on a civilian target like a city that serves little purpose other than to try and end the war outright.
I don't think it would be effective this early on in the conflict, but I'm curious what you guys think.
phil labonte
I think that the fact that they've activated it has changed the game because the United States is going to have some kind of reaction, right?
The Soviet Union is, or not Soviet Union, Russia is not going to be able to To put a weapon like that into play and expect the United States to not do anything.
So I imagine that there's going to be some kind of escalation.
And again, it's not going to be like the U.S.
is going to just start deploying nuclear weapons.
And I don't know what it would be, but I don't think this is going to go unanswered.
And it just goes back to what I've been saying, or we've all kind of been agreeing on, is I don't see the exit.
I don't see the off-ramp.
There's a lot of things that are happening and there has been nothing at all since Russia invaded that has moved the needle towards a ceasefire, de-escalation, ending combat activities.
Nothing in two years now or a year and a half.
So I still don't see the off-ramp.
Turning on nukes is what everyone's afraid of because Russia's nuclear armed.
I don't see how it gets fixed.
ian crossland
There was an attempt at a peace talk between, I think, Zelensky and Putin, even, early on.
And then Boris Johnson went down there and ended the peace talks abruptly.
And I think Victoria Nuland might have been involved.
So essentially, Britain and the United States were like, no, no, no, no, no.
Peace is not a good idea.
We need this war.
phil labonte
I don't know.
ian crossland
For a weapons system.
Do you remember that?
Yeah, that was something that people mention a lot.
I don't have data to pull up right now on me, and it's anecdotal, so I can't prove that that happened, but I've heard it a lot.
So there is, that would at least, you know, that would at least explain that there are some people want, that Zelensky doesn't want the war.
I mean, I don't think Zelensky wants the fight.
I don't think he wants the people to die.
phil labonte
Zelensky's come right out and said that his goal is to totally just take back Crimea.
Like Zelensky said that.
Yeah.
So he's not looking for any kind of de-escalation or whatever.
tim pool
But it's not Zelensky.
It's NATO.
ian crossland
That's what I'm saying.
It's Boris Johnson and Victoria Nuland pushing Zelensky and probably will kill him if he doesn't play at all.
tim pool
I don't think they're pushing him.
I think they're playing him like a marionette.
ian crossland
Man.
I don't know.
It's rough that they've completely devastated Eastern Donbass, turned it into mud, and all those people have died.
I don't think anybody wants that.
tim pool
And this is war.
I mean, Russia's involved in this.
They're the ones who initiated it.
I find it absolutely hilarious.
There's this really great post that said, you know, ways you know that you're a bootlicker for the Empire, and it's that you completely ignore all of the things the United States and NATO did to escalate tensions which resulted in this war.
And if you bring it up, if someone brings it up, you get offended.
And I'm like, right.
This politics is not happening in a vacuum.
Russia didn't one day be like, you know, Vladimir Putin didn't twirl his mustache and say, I'm going to be evil today!
No, it's a fight over special interests resources.
ian crossland
They need the seaport.
They want Sevastopol.
They want to fortify the roads down into Crimea through eastern Donbass, the East 97 and East 105, those two freeways.
And if they can, If they can fortify that, and Russia can take that and solidify their base in Crimea, Sevastopol is the city, they'll start pumping out goods and services into the Mediterranean Sea, but that will make Turkey a vulnerability for NATO, because Turkey's in NATO.
tim pool
Ian, I hope that you are ready to die so that NATO can defend Ukraine's waterport?
ian crossland
Yeah, it's more that they don't want Russia to have it because then they think Russia and Turkey will buddy up and that Turkey will leave NATO and then they will... NATO will fall apart.
phil labonte
If Turkey leaves NATO, I mean... I want to strongly push back on the idea that without Turkey, NATO falls apart.
ian crossland
Well, it's already kind of trash.
phil labonte
That is completely... The bigger risk.
Just that idea is completely not true.
ian crossland
It's a nuclear power that controls Russia's access to the Mediterranean.
tim pool
I think if it sides with... No, it's not just Russia's.
They control the Bosphorus.
Which is all of the Black Sea into the Mediterranean.
ian crossland
Which is, I don't know, mostly Russian.
It's Ukrainian also.
Ukrainian.
So they could shut off Ukrainian access to the... or some of it anyway.
jimmy corsetti
What's so wild about it is the hypocrisy.
Because Putin's been saying, what, for 15-plus years, do not put NATO troops on my border or else.
And I'm like, how did we feel about it when the Russians' Soviet Union was putting missiles in Cuba?
It's a no-go.
phil labonte
I just want to say, Turkey does not have nuclear weapons.
ian crossland
Are you sure?
phil labonte
I'm looking at it right now.
I googled it.
And that's part of why we get so many countries in NATO.
NATO exists partially to limit proliferation of nuclear weapons.
That's why you get countries to join NATO.
We offer you protection.
We have nuclear weapons.
Don't develop nuclear weapons of your own.
That was the whole point of the United States being like kind of the big dog in NATO and stuff is to prevent nuclear proliferation.
Sorry for cutting you off.
jimmy corsetti
No, you're good.
Thank you.
And you know, speaking of nukes, you know something we should entertain is the possibility of an EMP bomb.
If people aren't familiar, there are devices, allegedly, and I don't doubt it, that can take down entire power grids.
tim pool
I'm pretty sure that we know they exist.
jimmy corsetti
Right.
tim pool
A nuclear detonation releases an EMP intentionally.
jimmy corsetti
Right.
tim pool
I'm pretty sure we've isolated and we can generate an EMP.
jimmy corsetti
Like a neutron bomb?
Right.
And the last several Department of Homeland Security heads have said that, you know, a grid-down scenario is one of their number one concern because there's so many different things that could do it.
It could be a solar flare.
It could be bad actors.
It could be a hack job.
And there's all these, if you look into this, there's been so many different electrical grids or the substations around the United States that have, like, had been mysteriously hacked and infiltrated by various hackers.
It's like, who's doing that and why?
phil labonte
Jimmy, have you ever read the book One Minute After?
jimmy corsetti
Yes, actually, yeah, yeah.
I got an audiobook.
I got a few of those.
phil labonte
It's a good book.
tim pool
What is it?
Is it about after the nuclear?
phil labonte
About an EMP.
So they shoot an EMP off over the U.S., light it off about 100 miles up or whatever.
The EMP takes out the entire grid.
And it's based, I think, in North Carolina?
jimmy corsetti
I believe so.
phil labonte
Correct?
I think it's Asheville is the area.
But it talks about, you know, the things that could happen and stuff like that.
Newt Gingrich actually wrote the foreword to one of the editions.
I'm not sure which one, but go ahead.
unidentified
I'm sorry.
jimmy corsetti
I was going to say, hey, if you guys want a conspiracy, Between now and the next year, I'm convinced that there's going to be some sort of event.
They're going to come at us with some sort of curveball.
They're putting out COVID mandates into the media now.
And I'm like, I think that there's a sizable portion of the populace that will not comply.
I don't know what the percentage is.
Even if it's just one out of three, that's too many.
And I don't think that they're going to pull it this time.
I'm expecting a curveball.
So what better?
If you study history and Sun Tzu and the art of war.
So instead of nuking us or doing a bomb off the coast to flood us, Why not just turn off our lights, let us destroy each other from within.
Most people are not prepared.
You know how most people would die if the grid goes down?
Waterborne illness.
Most people do not have sterile water.
We take it for granted.
You turn on the faucet and you're fine.
tim pool
I gotta stop you right there.
You said how most people would die?
jimmy corsetti
Most might not be the word.
phil labonte
A significant number.
jimmy corsetti
Millions of people would die from infection of going to the bathroom because their stomachs can't handle that raw water that's going to turn once the water treatment facilities go down.
So never mind percentages.
tim pool
When the water treatment plants go down, there's no water at all.
So in places like New York and Chicago, you turn the faucet on and nothing comes out.
jimmy corsetti
And game over, because how many, what, two days without water, three days, and you're just incapacitated?
tim pool
I would say by day two, people are drinking each other's blood.
Yeah.
I am not exaggerating.
There was a, Martyr Maid has this post about what Civil War really is and what people don't understand.
And it really is something we bring up all the time, that people just, it's like, There's nothing you can do about the fact that people live in movie reality.
That they don't think about how the world actually works, and so they imagine people marching with uniforms.
Martyr Maiden and a couple other people had tweeted, Civil War is like, everything's, you know, the conflict is happening, you see it on the news, you go to bed and you don't wake up.
Because a warring faction at three in the morning sneaks in your house, kills you in your sleep, takes your stuff.
Or you wake up and your neighbor's house is on fire and you see his corpse lying on the sidewalk because a warring faction came in and he was a target for some reason.
These kinds of things are likely to happen first in a breakdown.
So outside of the concept of civil war, right?
Let's not be too cliche with Tim Casteer.
Let's say EMP bomb, nuclear strike.
Cyber attack.
You know, uh, Rachel Maddow said they're gonna shut off our electricity.
They could, with a cyber attack.
Yeah, if our grid goes down, I think we've- I- I- If- If communications go down, that's it.
The fabric of the United States evaporates overnight.
And, you ever play the video game Fallout 3?
jimmy corsetti
Yes.
tim pool
I love Fallout 3.
It's the best video game I've ever made.
One of them.
And, uh... The Enclave.
Let me give everybody a general understanding.
I assume most of you know Fallout 3, some of you might not.
In the Fallout series, in like, what, 2077, China invades Alaska because there's dwindling fossil fuels and they need access to new resources.
War breaks out.
Nukes go flying.
Planet gets bombarded and most people die.
A large portion of people in the U.S.
go into underground vaults to try and survive.
In Fallout 3, uh, I forgot where I was going with this.
jimmy corsetti
What would it be like, you know, after the fallout from it?
I mean, just the complete societal collapse and everything else?
tim pool
Yeah, I forgot the point I was going to make because I started explaining the basic story.
serge du preez
It was about, like, the Enclave, and then you were talking about, like... Oh, you got it.
unidentified
There it is.
serge du preez
Communication.
ian crossland
The remnants of civilization.
tim pool
So, uh, in Fallout 3, the bad guys are the Enclave.
They're the U.S.
government.
But they are completely powerless, and they have no control over what is the United States.
So, in the Fallout world, there's the New California Republic, which is the remnants of California are rebuilding and forming their own government, but the Enclave is actually the descendants of U.S.
military, U.S.
government that went into Mount Weather and other bunkers when the bombs fell.
When they emerged, they had no way to control what was left.
ian crossland
The wasteland.
tim pool
Yeah, the apocalyptia.
So, in the event communications go down, how does the military communicate?
They've got contingencies, I'm sure.
And they have protocol for what happens if the communications go down.
But what about local police?
Federal law enforcement?
There's going to be a decay, a breakdown, as you get further and further outside of the government, of actual communications.
So what happens then?
If the grid goes down and communications are blocked for some reason, we lose the internet, we lose electricity, we're turning our radios on trying to figure out what's going on.
And then, bad people go on the radio and say, this is Lieutenant so-and-so, I'm in charge of this area, and it's a random guy.
Then he comes in and says, we're organizing.
What if it's a militia?
And they feel justified and say to themselves, if we don't get a hold of this, it's going to get bad.
I'm taking charge.
Put out a radio call, put on their militia uniforms, look like military, show up with guns.
They're not bad guys, but they're not the government.
And now you've got conflicted factions determining, trying to figure out who's in charge and who isn't.
jimmy corsetti
It would happen.
It'd be a power vacuum.
Somebody would try to take it.
phil labonte
You need sheriffs.
You need, like, if you're in a city, you're doomed.
unidentified
Okay.
phil labonte
So that, I mean, we can take the, You can take the idea of survival off the table.
You're dead.
You are a walking corpse.
I'm not kidding.
jimmy corsetti
You're going to be someone's lunch.
phil labonte
Yeah, you're totally doomed.
If you're on Manhattan, you're doomed.
You're never going to get off the island.
If you're on Long Island, you're doomed.
You're never getting off there.
If you're in Southern Connecticut, you're going to die.
If you're in Jersey, you're going to die.
tim pool
Well, to be fair, pointing out like...
phil labonte
If 5% live, I'm generally right, is kind of my point, you know?
tim pool
Right, but you know, for Jersey, so long as you're not on the peninsula, right?
If you're on the islands, Manhattan, Long Island, the New Jersey peninsula, you're done.
When we were in New Jersey when the COVID lockdown started, and there were rumors going around they were going to shut down the bridge, Connecticut already had checkpoints with New York because New Yorkers were fleeing to Connecticut.
So when we heard that they were like, that's what everyone was afraid of.
They were like, hey, if they lock that down, you're stuck.
You ain't going anywhere.
You're on a peninsula.
So we were like, we should probably leave now.
And so we packed up and we came down to where we are now earlier than we intended.
And that was just the lockdown scare.
But to your point, In terms of the areas that have access to the larger mass of the United States, have a substantially, substantially higher chance of survival.
Manhattan Island?
Good luck.
phil labonte
Doomed.
You're dead.
Look at Maui.
tim pool
Look at Lahaina.
The police blocked the one road out.
phil labonte
Your best bet is to know your sheriffs and your local law enforcement, or at least be familiar with them, so that way you have an idea of who might have authority in your area.
But that ain't gonna work if you're in a city with police, because police are not the same as sheriffs.
They have a different outlook and stuff.
tim pool
Authority is meaningless.
ian crossland
Yeah.
tim pool
Guns aren't.
But that's where the authority will be drawn from.
Have you guys seen The Last of Us, the TV show?
jimmy corsetti
Yeah, actually.
I just finished up that first season recently.
tim pool
Yeah, I like it.
jimmy corsetti
Very interesting.
tim pool
What people need to understand, there is no good or evil in a conflict.
There is survival.
And what's going to happen is, dude, you're walking down the street.
Let's say it's a month, two months after the grid gets knocked out and there's chaos happening and there's conflict.
There's people starting to rebuild communications, the U.S.
government is still asserting its authority, but as you move further west and things get further and spread out, communications break down, distance between cities increases, east coast may be stable, west coast will be increasingly unstable.
So let's say it's several months later and you're walking down a road, and you've got your rifle on your back and your water, and then you come across, you see in the distance there's some kind of settlement, and you're like, Well, let's go see who's there, and then all of a sudden, there's a bang, and you're dead.
In fact, you're dead before you even hear the sound.
The people who live in that settlement aren't gonna be like, oh hey look, a fellow walking towards us with a gun, let's see what he has to say.
ian crossland
That's the thing about video games and this, like, fantasy of survival apocalypse genre games, like, dude, you get hit once, you're dead.
phil labonte
Everybody dies.
tim pool
But it's not just that.
ian crossland
There's no fun.
tim pool
It's that, depending on the level of conflict, The assumption that you can walk up to any kind of settlement, and they're going to be like, howdy stranger!
I couldn't help but notice your arm there!
You wanna come hang out?
They're gonna be- they're either going to jump out from, like, they're gonna come out from fortified positions, you can't see them, pointing weapons at you, telling you to get on the ground, you're gonna lose your weapons, you're gonna lose everything, and if you're lucky, they'll turn you away and take all your stuff.
jimmy corsetti
Right.
phil labonte
The loot drop.
tim pool
Right, and maybe they won't kill you, or maybe they just do it and think, if you find out, if you want, if this person wants revenge, if this person tells someone where we are, we're done.
Don't know, don't care.
This idea that, you know, everyone's gonna be super nice to each other and roll in this together, crazy, crazy talk.
jimmy corsetti
No.
Strangers will be looked at as enemy.
You wouldn't know who you could trust.
And by the way, like the boom, shot, you're dead.
If you get hit in the arm or leg or wherever, you're just wounded.
You're gonna get infected and die like a week later in a very terrible, terrible way.
phil labonte
Most likely you're gonna bleed out because most people don't have tourniquets.
unidentified
Right.
phil labonte
Like most people don't have first aid on them.
Like you get into a gunfight, your friend gets shot, he dies because he bleeds out because you didn't put a tourniquet in your car.
And I guarantee you don't have one in your car.
tim pool
But you have shoelaces.
jimmy corsetti
A lot of people don't know how to use a tourniquet.
tim pool
Right, exactly.
Let me tell you guys something really simple.
A shoelace and a pen.
Have a nice day.
Google it.
Figure it out.
unidentified
But I've got- Dudes are dead.
tim pool
Look, look, look.
I'd be willing to place a large wager that the majority of people who listen to this show have a substantially higher survival rate than the average person.
And it's, you have to be paying attention to what's going on in the world to watch a show like this.
Yo, come on.
You could be listening to Barstool, you could be talking about the World Series of Poker, you could be talking about football, or... The fucking ball game.
The drafts or whatever.
And, hey man, do your thing, do your thing.
I got no beef.
Enjoy your life, be happy, live, laugh, love, whatever.
But when it comes to what's happening in the world, maybe it all settles down.
Maybe nothing bad happens.
There's a good cause for optimism in Trump's current polling numbers, economic numbers, things are looking fairly positive.
I genuinely believe that while Trump is far from a perfect individual, The Trump path slowly winds things down.
In fact, I don't know about conflict in the United States, but internationally, World War III nuclear bombs.
phil labonte
It's the only one that actually might have an off-ramp.
There is nothing coming out of the Democratic Party or the Democratic establishment or the Republican establishment that in any way indicates that there is an off-ramp for the conflict in Ukraine.
It is, oh, we gotta win, and that ain't happening.
tim pool
But if Trump does get elected, while that may avert us being wiped out in nuclear hellfire, Civil Conflict United States is still a high possibility.
phil labonte
There is a lot of turmoil coming in the next 10 years, or possible in the next 10 years.
tim pool
But I want to add really really quick to everybody, just as an aside, download General Survival App.
Like, it's not a proper noun, it's a, it's a, it's not proper.
Google search, go to your Google Play Store, type in Survival App, download three of them.
ian crossland
Also, some cool items are CB radio, shortwave radio that you can talk into to communicate with someone if the grid goes down, you have solar power, and LifeStraw.
LifeStraw's the name of the company, but they basically, you can take dirty river water and drink it through this LifeStraw.
tim pool
Right in the river, you can stick the straw right in.
phil labonte
Abouthang UV5R is a two-way radio.
I think it's VHS, definitely UHS, and they're like 25 bucks, and they are the most common radio going around.
They're super easy to use.
Get one.
You can get them for super dirt cheap.
tim pool
I also want to say, download the app called Picture This.
Are you guys familiar with that one?
serge du preez
That's the app where you take a picture of it and it tells you what it is, basically.
Plants, et cetera.
tim pool
Picture this can take a picture, it takes a picture of, I believe it's plants.
serge du preez
Yeah, I think so.
jimmy corsetti
That reminds me.
tim pool
Yeah.
Tells you if you can eat them.
jimmy corsetti
Yep.
Buy hard copy books too, just in case there's a situation with the grid.
A survival book, as well as a first aid book.
And there are also books, which just made me think of it, is that depending what region you live in, for example, I'm in Arizona, I'm in the Southwest.
So I have a book that's literally edible plants of the American Southwest.
And you can do it on any region you're in because, especially when it comes to first aid and other, you know, survival situations, you know, if the internet's not available, all you have is a hard copy and we take that stuff for granted.
unidentified
Exactly.
tim pool
Yep.
phil labonte
You can also download the Ranger Handbook, which is a legit, the actual military range, like the US Rangers, you can download their handbook and that's got a lot of stuff in there.
I just put a link to it on my Twitter.
tim pool
So here's what I, here's what I have to say.
I think when it comes to people who watch this show, I think even down to the least skilled person, their survival chance in a city is going to be triple or quadruple the average person.
Just for one reason.
They see it coming.
You watch a news program like this, we say, hey look, they just deployed for combat a massive nuclear weapon.
Then, when the news breaks that, you know, let's say Putin comes out and says, mark my words, we will fire this nuke if you don't stop, you're going to be sitting there being like, okay, well I'm going to put my bug out bag together, and then when the sirens go off, you grab your bag, you're out the door, other people are standing around going, I wonder what's going on?
jimmy corsetti
You know, not to toot my own horn, but I was in Boise, Idaho when the COVID pandemic, alleged pandemic, kicked off.
And I remember seeing national news about the Costco in my area was running out of toilet paper.
This is in January of 2020, when everyone knew it was nonsense.
And it may have been as silly as it was for people to stock up on toilet paper.
I saw what was going on.
I'm like, well, I'm not going to be last.
So I went and stocked up and guess what?
I had Charmin top shelf, the excellent stuff sustained me through the entire- Did you resell it for a profit?
Multi-ply quilted?
It was the quilted... I did not resell, I'm not, you know.
tim pool
He's like, he's in a dark alley in a trench coat and he like opens it up and there's... I got what you need.
unidentified
You got it?
jimmy corsetti
You got that good stuff?
unidentified
Woo!
tim pool
Give me another one!
I get quilted, man!
Break me up another square, man!
jimmy corsetti
I saw a funny picture going around where it was the Purell, the hand sand, someone had like a little baggie of it, like as if it was cracking, and said, hey yo, text me, get at me, I got that good old Purell.
tim pool
I stopped at a gas station, I think it was in Arizona, And, uh, nobody was wearing masks.
I walked in, the guest, because like, it's the middle of nowhere, and she's like, oh, we don't care.
They have mandates out here, but ain't no one gonna enforce it.
And then I says, what do you think?
Are you guys worried?
I hear that they're running out of toilet paper everywhere, and she's like, ha!
Like, we're preppers!
I got three months with a toilet paper in my storage area.
Like, we didn't even think twice about it.
When all this stuff started happening, we just put our feet up and started laughing.
And I'm like, man, the preppers, they're having a good time right now.
phil labonte
Everybody that, or not everybody, but I imagine there's a significant portion of the listener and viewers of the podcast here that have taken some precautions or some steps to, you know, do some type of prepping.
If you haven't, it's a good idea.
It's not a bad idea.
tim pool
And let me add too, For political reasons, downloading Wikipedia makes no sense.
That is to say, if you were to download the entirety of Wikipedia because you wanted to learn about Newt Gingrich, yeah, you're wasting your time.
phil labonte
Maybe go to archive it from five years or ten years ago and download it.
tim pool
But I recommend everyone download the full text of Wikipedia.
Because if you ignore the politics, being able to read about chemical composition, drugs, there's really basic stuff in there that's life-saving in the event of an encyclopedia that large.
Look, if the world ends, you're not going to be looking up Newt Gingrich.
You're going to be looking up, you know, like North American plants. I have them. And Wikipedia will
actually create categories where you can, it'll be like, you know, edible fruits
native to North America. You can click it and you'll see all these things and have a lot of
pictures. I don't know if the pictures download with the full app though. I've got this EMF
ian crossland
protecting case that I put a solid state hard drive inside of that I wrap up and then put inside of a
flame repellent safe. And that you can put like Wikipedia on like a solid state hard drive inside of
an EMF protector inside of a fire Any more than that.
tim pool
That won't be enough.
So, a buddy of mine actually has a Faraday cage, a high-quality, like, government-level certified for doing tests on cell networks and satellites and communications, and it does not block all EMF.
It's like a shield that you walk inside and you see your cell service go all the way down.
ian crossland
Does EMF fry a solid-state drive?
tim pool
I'm fairly certain, yeah, it's going to short out anything.
jimmy corsetti
Anything electronic.
tim pool
Yeah, like circuitry.
ian crossland
They're not magnetic, I know that.
tim pool
So that's not so much the issue, but with a Faraday cage, what you want to do is that EMF protector you got, EMF case, a little Faraday bag, put it in a microwave.
Microwave is a Faraday cage.
So put it in a microwave and put it deep in your basement, and then if you really want to be serious, wrap it in tin foil, then put it in a bigger microwave.
Because you know I was talking to my buddy and I said he's got a fairy cage I said you know so are we you put like a phone in there so if a solar flare hits you're good and he's like this thing's not gonna protect that from a solar flare solar flare is gonna fry whatever's inside of it and I'm like in the Faraday cage like it's yeah it's it's imperfect it's it's that the a solar flare or an EMP is gonna be so powerful it will get through. There's gonna be leakage. And I'm like, what
if you put a microwave in the Faraday cage and then put something,
okay, now you're good, right? You double layer it and then the Faraday cage does provide protection,
but the idea that these things will protect you guaranteed is not true.
jimmy corsetti
What you want to do is get a car from the 60s. Yeah, and just a carburetor. Yeah, a non-fuel injection. That's the
key.
Because a lot of people don't realize, all of your cars now, every single one of them operates with a computer.
And if it's not a carbureted engine, which none of them are anymore, it will undoubtedly fry.
Apparently though, unless you're in an underground parking garage, there might be a chance.
I thought I read somewhere, I don't know if that's true.
But speaking of, like, we were talking about prepping, and in the context of, like, solar flares, a lot of people didn't realize, because I know there's gonna be some people realizing, everything will be fine, you know?
It's like, but a solar flare could happen.
There are natural events that are unforeseeable, that have nothing to do with, you know, geopolitical, you know, things going on in the world.
And it's just, you know, when I was growing up in Arizona, there's a large LDS Mormon population, and, like, it's customary to have, like, three, four months of preps.
And I remember thinking that was weird at the time.
No, it's like, no, that is, that's wisdom.
phil labonte
Three months?
jimmy corsetti
I think it's three or four months minimum, like, of, like, food.
I don't know, I could be wrong.
phil labonte
That should be everybody.
That should be as simple and basic as it comes.
You should be able to sustain yourself for at least a month by what you have in your house, even if it's, like, not eating the best food, but, you know, freeze-dried stuff or whatever, stuff that can give you calories so you can get through.
tim pool
SafeAndReadyMeals.com.
A not-shoutout shoutout.
We used to do reads for them a lot more often, but now we just basically, we talk about cast brew.
And, you know, when we started promoting our own coffee brand because we're opening this coffee shop, I was like, we're not doing these shoutouts anymore.
But we used to do periodic shoutouts for SafeAndReadyMeals.com, which is emergency food that lasts 25 years.
Now, it's really funny because when I started promoting that, and I love telling the story, all these leftists started mocking and insulting me, being like, haha, what an idiot, what a loser, he's selling emergency food, and I'm like, it's really crazy because we all have first aid kits, we rarely use them.
You are willing to get a first aid kit in the event you have a femoral bleed, but you're not willing to have food you can eat.
You eat food every single day!
When was the last, honest question, when was the last time you used a Band-Aid?
jimmy corsetti
A few weeks ago, I guess.
tim pool
Like, seriously, though?
jimmy corsetti
No, just on a band- like, on my finger.
tim pool
Yeah, what about you?
Like, use the band-aid.
phil labonte
Uh, an actual- I don't remember.
If I cut my finger, I'll put, like, Neosporin on and stuff, just so that way it heals faster.
ian crossland
Yeah, I don't use band-aids.
I wash with soap and then let them air dry usually.
phil labonte
Rub dirt in it.
tim pool
I think mine might have been, like, five months ago, maybe?
ian crossland
It's over two years for me.
I don't use them.
tim pool
We eat food every day!
And people are like, ah, you're dumb for having food in the event of an emergency.
jimmy corsetti
They're projecting their own insecurities deep down, they know.
Or these are the same people that ran out of toilet paper, I don't know.
Right, and then fought for it.
ian crossland
Would it be good to have like a giant tub of protein powder?
I imagine you could make that last, uh, yeah, what, like a year?
tim pool
You got a year out of it?
phil labonte
Not sure of the date, but they have expiration dates, yeah.
tim pool
But, uh, there's ways to preserve protein.
ian crossland
Like freeze dry it or something?
tim pool
I mean, beans.
Beans and rice can be preserved for 25 years.
We have bean and rice buckets, and those form a complete amino chain.
jimmy corsetti
Just buy, uh, salt.
Allegedly, you know, iodized salt.
Um, and you can season, and apparently we need iodine.
I don't, I've heard different things about that, but... Salt.
ian crossland
I bought like ten buckets of salt.
jimmy corsetti
It's so cheap.
ian crossland
That's a good thing to have on hand.
jimmy corsetti
It's a good investment.
As well as lighters, by the way.
It's a random thought.
ian crossland
Oh, plasma lighters that can plug in.
unidentified
Yes.
Solar.
ian crossland
I have a bunch of those.
unidentified
Ooh.
ian crossland
And then solar panels.
Solar chargers.
Solar chargers that you can charge your lighter off of.
I carry it around with me in my fanny pack.
tim pool
I guess the bigger question is, you know, what's the likelihood of anything actually happening?
And that's where people refuse to take action.
But, I'll just tell ya, would you rather be the guy who spent a little bit of money to have a bucket of food in your basement that you might have to eat in 25 years before it goes bad?
Seriously, 25 years.
Or do you want to be fighting with Agnes in a parking lot of Walmart for the last can of beans?
jimmy corsetti
You know, it's the peace of mind.
And the thing is, like, so I'm a prepper myself.
And the thought going through my mind is like, knowing what I know,
if let's imagine that the so-called event happened and somebody listening to us is like, they hadn't prepped.
And then they wake up in the morning and the lights don't come back on.
Can you imagine the overwhelming feeling of shame and guilt?
And that regret of like, oh no, I could have just used my credit card.
I could have bought this stuff.
I could have, and I didn't.
That would consume me knowing, you know what I mean?
Like, so it's like, there's no excuse anymore.
tim pool
Oh, New York's going to be, it's going to be a sight to behold.
I don't mean that in a positive way.
We have never in human history seen density to this level.
We've seen great fires, we've seen war.
There's the sacking of Richmond and what it's like when these cities are totally razed and in conflict and bolts are flying.
World War II.
But we have massively gained population in the past hundred years in profound ways.
If the grid goes down in New York, I was in New York when Sandy happened
and it was already getting kind of scary.
You had, I went to a bodega and there was a line at the door.
They only allowed one person in at a time.
There were two guys with like a big piece of wood and a guy with like a crowbar guarding the store.
They'd let you in, you'd walk in.
And then I was like, how's it going to the clerk?
And he was like, anything perishable, you don't wanna eat.
All the stuff in the fridge is expired, but the canned stuff is good.
And I was like, cool.
And in the fridge, spoiled milk and cream and milk products.
And I took a Gatorade and like some crackers or whatever.
And I was like, yeah.
ian crossland
It was dark in New York for like two days after that flood.
tim pool
You were there?
Like, yeah, the Lower East Side had no power for like what, two weeks?
Something like that.
ian crossland
Yeah, maybe.
unidentified
I remember two days of really dark, like, weird shit.
Yeah.
tim pool
And, and, like, the flood damage destroyed windows and knocked over a bus stand.
And that's just a hurricane.
And then, uh, you had, um, the Rockaways were just wiped out.
ian crossland
Yeah, that's where I lived.
I lived in Far Rockaway.
Well, after.
Actually, I moved there right after the, right after the damage.
It was wrecked.
The whole coastline was wrecked.
tim pool
And, uh, I went- I actually took the train down to, uh, document the relief work that was going on, and it was crazy to see, like, the- the- the, uh, the boardwalks, like, ripped up, just houses destroyed.
ian crossland
It's just- when the lights go out in a city, man, it is another place.
It's not home.
It's dark and cold and fucking dangerous.
You do not want to be in a city in the dark.
It is terrifying.
jimmy corsetti
Hard pass.
ian crossland
And that's after like two days of it being dark.
I don't know, after two weeks of it being dark, you're gonna see everything lit on fire to keep things warm.
jimmy corsetti
I've seen I Am Legend.
So, I Am Legend, Merrill Will Smith, in New York City, in Manhattan.
You've ever seen that movie?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
You know, but again, people watch these movies and then get these weird expectations of what things will be like.
The first thing you can do, the first thing I'll say is you cannot predict what it will be like.
There are certain things we can say are likely and may happen, but imagine this.
What is your daily routine?
Okay.
Imagine you wake up for your daily routine, no electricity.
What's that like?
I'm sure it's happened.
The power's gone out.
You woke up, there's no power.
What did you do?
Now imagine it's going to be that way for several days.
If you live in a more rural area and you're on a well with an electric pump, how are you getting the water out of the ground if there's no electricity?
Most people, I think, out here have backup means of electricity for that reason.
Solar, diesel generators, gas generators, etc.
But just, that's one way to consider what it would be like.
Now, the question I have for you that live in the suburbs, do you think your neighbors are smart?
Because if the water stops a-flowing, and they can't figure it out, do you think that Jimmy next door will let his 12-year-old daughter starve to death?
Or do you think he would, let's just say, cause harm to others, including you, if it meant protecting his children?
ian crossland
You know, Jimmy will come by and knock on your door with a smile and ask if he can have some of your water rations that you don't have enough of, and you'll have to tell him no.
And he'll leave with a smile.
Maybe he won't be smiling as much when he leaves.
The next time you see him, he won't be smiling.
tim pool
Yeah, he'll be crying.
He'll kick your door in.
ian crossland
If you can see him again, yeah.
tim pool
With a gun pointed at you, and he'll say, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Before he puts one between your eyes.
jimmy corsetti
Yep.
You know, it's far more likely, I think, when we're talking about all this doomsday stuff.
I look at people like Klaus Schwab, and when he speaks, I think we need to listen at this point.
And what was it, just two years ago, he was talking about, if there was a cyber attack, it would be worse.
COVID would compel in comparison.
Anyways, so a financial attack.
So it doesn't necessarily attack the entire grid.
We still have electricity.
However, it attacks the banking system.
And this could be their tactic to usher in the CBDC.
Cause a lot of people say like, I'm not going to go along with that.
I'm not going to go along with that.
I'm like, well, unless you're starving.
And by the way, when I look at all these, these 87,000 IRS agents, are they really hiring them to check like Venmo transactions?
Or is it possible that they, once they come out with the CBDC, they're going to make any other exchange of currency illegal, dollar, gold, anything.
So what?
tim pool
I got it.
I got a simpler one for you.
Active war or financial crisis results in deposits being wiped out.
Let's say the grid goes down, the economy collapses, something akin to a lockdown.
The government says we can insure and we have insured your deposits.
We have relief.
Download FedBank from the Play Store and from the App Store right now, and enter in your name, your social security number, and a picture of your ID, and you will get transferred in the money from your account before incident occurred.
And what that does is, let's say there's a financial collapse.
Let's say that there's a natural disaster or an act of war that disrupts the financial sector.
The economy goes to chaos.
Now they simply say, oh, your money's gone, but don't worry, we've got it right here for you at cbdc.app.
Download it today.
jimmy corsetti
Tim, I think you're spot on.
And I think this is what's going to happen, is that the way to do it isn't to force that new system, it's to get us to beg for it.
Once someone's kids are three days without a meal, please give it to me.
Fine, fine.
We'll figure something out later.
We'll get this sorted out.
They're going to get them to want it.
That's what I fear, is that that's what they'll do.
They'll mess up the system.
phil labonte
If you have any hope of staying off of that, you're going to need a whole lot of silver dimes.
ian crossland
Yeah, I can imagine a lot of people won't do it and then it'll create a subclass.
phil labonte
Well, I mean, obviously bullets, but the silver dimes are just because they're the gray, like a gray, gray market is where people are going to be avoiding it.
So if you're, if you are going to have the ability to stay off, you're going to need something that people will recognize as money and silver coins would be that.
tim pool
I think it'll be nine millimeter.
phil labonte
Oh, you're thinking bullets themselves.
tim pool
I think nine millimeter will be currency.
I totally agree.
ian crossland
That should be the currency in Fallout.
I've been saying that for a while.
tim pool
Even right now, I don't care about silver.
I get it.
Silver has value.
I have some silver.
What I mean to say is, if someone comes to me right now and says, hey, I'll give you a piece of silver for that slice of pizza, I'll be like, bro, I don't care.
What am I gonna do with that silver?
Put it in my closet?
I understand that you can always, it's like a, it is a liquid asset sort of, you can take it somewhere and exchange it, you can get value for it, you can trade with it, it's not that easy.
Yo, Bullet, I could use.
jimmy corsetti
And I'm totally with you, because in my mind, I'm like, I'm not convinced there won't be some crazy...
I'm very curious to know what my life is going to be like when I'm at retirement age.
I feel like something will happen, whether it's a pole shift, whether it's some World War III or whatever it is.
In my mind, I'm not certain that it won't come to the point where ammunition is currency.
Honestly, I'm an advocate.
I'm a Second Amendment advocate.
I think everyone, it's about self-sustaining and you need to protect yourself because Like, look at Hurricane Katrina, which isn't necessarily the best example, but there was a few days there where it was, you know, total lawlessness.
And there was people that held down their neighborhoods by their own use of force.
And so, I don't know.
Like, anything can happen.
The unpredictable can happen.
If people can't Take care of themselves, you should expect that no one else will.
phil labonte
Listen, and anyone that's listening that is a little on the young side that thinks it's
silly the idea that a bullet or whatever could be used as currency.
The reason we call a shot of whiskey a shot of whiskey is because that one ounce of whiskey
was traded for 145 Colt Long back in the old west.
tim pool
Is that why?
phil labonte
It was a shot.
It was a shot because it was one you could trade one round, 145 Colt, 45 Long Colt usually
for a shot of whiskey.
Wow.
jimmy corsetti
You know, there's a lot of stuff we can learn from the Western times on those frontier days
when it was, you know, when there was lawlessness and marauders and the cowboys, which were
a real gang.
tim pool
19... 11 or whatever?
No, not 1911.
unidentified
1913?
tim pool
1923.
1923?
Oh yeah, I don't even know what the year of the show is.
But, uh... No, no, no, no.
1913?
1923.
ian crossland
1923?
tim pool
Oh yeah, I don't even know what the year of the show is.
serge du preez
But uh, no no no no, 18, what's the 18 one?
It's like, I think one is, uh... 1893 or something?
Ah, man.
ian crossland
What you're telling me right now is don't make a show with the year as the name.
I know!
unidentified
Yeah, seriously, right?
tim pool
Come on, who knows what is it?
Uh, because I watched it.
It was awesome.
unidentified
Uh, 18... I know what you're talking about.
tim pool
Yo, that, it's like the Oregon Trail.
unidentified
1887. 1887?
ian crossland
Yeah, that's what someone typed in chat.
serge du preez
I don't know if that's true, yeah.
ian crossland
Tim Welch.
tim pool
Yeah, they're like, we gotta float the wagons across the river and then like you just see like a woman go, ah, get washed away and die.
And it's like, well, she's dead.
serge du preez
That's how it goes.
tim pool
Or when like Native Americans raid and just kill a bunch of people and it's like, well, they're dead.
serge du preez
Yep.
tim pool
That's just what it was.
Oh, stubbed my toe.
Guess I'll die.
ian crossland
For the record, it's 1883.
There you go, 1883.
tim pool
We're getting 1886, all sorts of years.
Ian's right, don't make a TV show with a year in its name.
ian crossland
1776, it's just trolls now.
No, stop guys.
tim pool
But it's crazy that, uh, you know, people just die all the time, like, non-stop.
You just die.
jimmy corsetti
You die of a toothache.
serge du preez
Yep.
jimmy corsetti
That's it.
serge du preez
Can you imagine?
Because it gets infected.
The infection kills you.
tim pool
It goes in your blood, you go septic, and then you're dead.
jimmy corsetti
In a really, really miserable way as well.
ian crossland
Hey, you mentioned pole shifts earlier.
How connected are they to human behavior and where do they come from?
tim pool
Well, that's a very hard segue.
What do you mean by that?
ian crossland
About as vague as I asked.
I don't know.
But do you want to segue into that now?
unidentified
Sure.
jimmy corsetti
Because I'm burning.
I honestly, so this is complete pseudoscience, but I look at how many animals, creatures, insects, birds, whales are on this planet that are completely connected to the poles in their travels, and I do wonder, and this is again pseudoscience, but like, It seems like things are as crazy as ever and people are acting a bit strange.
And I don't know if it's because this internet thing is causing us to go a little bit nuts as we're staring at the screens and not getting enough vitamin D, but I do wonder if it's having an effect on us.
And I should look, and if you give me a second, I'm going to bring up a certain verse from the Bible.
I'm not some Bible thumper, but there's something in it that alludes to how the people are going to behave in the end times.
Are you familiar with this?
tim pool
Yeah, I think someone cited it to us yesterday, actually.
unidentified
Really?
jimmy corsetti
Yeah, read it.
Well, there's a couple.
So, first of all, let me start with this one.
This is Isaiah 520.
Woe to those that call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
And this is in the context of end times.
Is this not the upside clown world that we live in right now?
phil labonte
Actually, now that you mention it like that, yeah.
And I'm an agnostic, like not a religious guy at all, so.
jimmy corsetti
Let me do one more.
2 Timothy 3.
But understand this.
In the last days, terrible times will come.
For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without the love of good, traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than the lovers of God, having a form of godliness in themselves but denying its power.
Turn away from these.
tim pool
Oh, that sounds like the left.
ian crossland
Sounds like the worst aspects of me when I'm not controlling myself.
I find myself doing that shit.
tim pool
So is it explaining when we expect these things to happen?
jimmy corsetti
It says in the end times, and that is so debatable, but in my mind I'm like, what if there's these cycles of cataclysms?
And the more I've been studying this, like, so it goes for me looking into like cosmic
impacts, which I undoubtedly do believe happen.
But the more I'm looking into details as far as sun cycles and geomagnetic pole shifts,
I look at things like Elon Musk is talking about how you need to go down the rabbit hole
of ice ages.
And I've looked into that.
And if you look at like certain things like such as the mini ice age, which are the little
ice age, as it's called from the year 1300 to 1850, 550 years of global cooling, approximately
two degrees Celsius, 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit famine around vast portions of the world,
reduction in livestock.
That's tied to solar cycles.
As well as the global, or it's believed, that's one of the speculated reasons.
But there's something else, and I'll quickly say this.
The Roman warming period, as it's called, which was increased warmth in the Mediterranean all the way through the UK.
And that was same thing, a two degree estimated three or Celsius or 3.6 degree Fahrenheit, where there was, you know, an abundance of vineyards, Roman vineyards in the UK.
And it was warmth and it's tied to sun cycles.
So my point is, is that like these things have happened.
You never hear about in the context of climate change.
Sorry.
Go ahead, Tim.
tim pool
I just wanted to bring up a story as soon as you make your point.
jimmy corsetti
Oh well that's it!
I think that these are things that are, that need to be looked at.
And then going back to like, you know, geomagnetic having an influence on us, I'm like why would this, these people found it, and again I'm not a bible thumper, but people thousands of years ago wrote this down and thought it was incredibly important to preserve it.
And it just gives me a weird feeling that when I see that this mirrors our society to a T, and I don't want to sound like a Mr. Doomsday guy, but what if it's related to a geomagnetic pole shift reduction in... I don't know.
tim pool
So we got this story from Pew Research.
It's almost a year old.
It says about four in ten U.S.
adults believe humanity is living in the end times.
Periods of catastrophe and anxiety, such as the pandemic, have historically led some people to anticipate the destruction of the world as we know it.
The end times is near.
Take a look at this.
US Protestants, in evangelical and historically black traditions, especially likely to believe humanity is living in the end of times.
Among Christians, 49% say no, 47% yes.
Protestants, 55% yes.
Evangelicals, 63% yes.
Historically black, 76% say yes.
Protestants, 55 yes. Evangelicals, 63 yes. Historically black, 76% say yes.
Interestingly, Catholics, 70% say no. And among the black population, 68% say yes.
Now, among all U.S.
adults, 58% say no, 39% say yes.
But you do the math on the bell curve and, you know, where you think the people who are right are going to end up.
ian crossland
How many people they polled for this?
Is that on there?
tim pool
Uh, let's see.
They should, they do normally say.
ian crossland
These are really interesting numbers.
jimmy corsetti
Sometimes it's like 1,300, it's really disappointing, you know?
ian crossland
They're like, we pulled 270 people and extrapolated it to 300 million.
tim pool
Oh, look at this!
A slight majority of Americans believe Jesus will return to Earth one day.
ian crossland
Well, the Christ energy is due for a return.
I don't know if it has anything to do with Jesus Christ or not.
tim pool
It doesn't have the immediate number right up at top, and I'm not seeing...
The number of those polled.
ian crossland
What happens when people get desperate enough, when the cycle calls for it, someone like that will rise up and speak.
And it's like, it comes out of you.
It's not like, you're not Jesus.
tim pool
10,000.
10,156 US adults.
That's a lot.
jimmy corsetti
That's a lot for a poll.
tim pool
That is a massive sample size.
ian crossland
I don't think we're in the end of time.
I don't think that everything is about to end, but I think we're at the end of a cycle.
Like, the internet has created the beginning of a new cycle, so we are now facing the end of the old.
tim pool
Yeah, like that song.
It's the dawning of the age of Aquarius.
ian crossland
Which is, I think, the year 2350 or something, so we're coming up on the dawn of Aquarius right now.
jimmy corsetti
There you go.
You wanna know something like, so the 2012 apocalypse, you know, do you know that the actual word for the apocalypse is like, it's truth coming to light, it's an awakening, it's not like the sky's on fire, it's actually about things coming to knowledge, and what's wild is like when you look at- Which is where you get the revelation, because it reveals, it's truth coming to light, yeah.
Right.
serge du preez
Just wanted to say that.
jimmy corsetti
Yeah.
It's wild.
And do you guys want to hear some other scripture that talks about potential pole shifts?
unidentified
Oh, yeah, dude!
jimmy corsetti
So this is wild.
I've been going down this rabbit hole.
And so, like, again, like I was saying, I've been studying pole shifts.
And, you know, the science shows geomagnetic pole shifts, it's not that the Earth flips upside down.
It's just that the interior of the core transitions and can cause effects on Earth.
But I am not convinced that there isn't a tumble.
And so listen to this scripture, Joshua 10, 13.
It says, so the sun stood still and the moon stopped till the nation avenged itself on its enemies as it's written in the book of Joshar.
The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.
What?
And let me do one more, and this is from the Quran, book 48.
He who seeks repentance from the Lord, or Allah, before the rising of the sun from the West, before the day of the resurrection, Allah turns him to his mercy.
So it talks about the day when the sun rises in the West.
Now, just to clarify, the actual, it's believed that that just has to do with when you pass away, you go into the West, so it's not talking about the Earth.
What I'm trying to say is that I know that the other side will say that's not a correct translation for it, but when I see that prior scripture from the Bible talking about the sun and the moon standing still, and then I see this, it would mirror if there was a pole shift where the earth actually did a tilt some portion degree.
So I'm just sharing this stuff because someone wrote this down a few thousand years ago and thought it was important to preserve it.
I might not have the correct translation.
I'd love to see what the live chat says.
Just sharing.
tim pool
Also, this is interesting.
Apocalypse to us, in colloquial English, means end of the world, end of days.
The literal translation is revelation.
Quite literally comes from the Latin church, revelation.
jimmy corsetti
It's really interesting.
2012 time frame with the iPhone.
Like, I know the iPhone was born, what, 2008?
But when you look at, like, the period of time when most everyone started getting a smartphone in their hands?
serge du preez
Yeah, market saturation.
Yeah, I talk about this all the time.
I talk about that 2012, because in my end, it was the end of an era and the beginning of a new age starting, and at the beginning of that new age, everyone started having that smartphone, and everyone was connecting to the internet, and everyone used Facebook every single day as opposed to being at their house, and, you know, look where we are now, I guess.
ian crossland
I think the Aquarius, the age of Aquarius is due to begin about 2600 C.E.
Which is what, is C.E.
the same thing as A.D.?
jimmy corsetti
Yes.
phil labonte
Okay.
ian crossland
Common Era.
phil labonte
They stopped doing A.D.
because A.D.
was religious.
jimmy corsetti
It's very offensive.
ian crossland
Very offensive.
phil labonte
BCE before Common Era.
ian crossland
It all makes sense.
tim pool
Is that what it is, BCE?
phil labonte
Yeah, BCE before Common Era and Common Era.
unidentified
Common Era!
phil labonte
And it's all just, it's all the same thing as the Roman, or what is it, Greco-Roman is what they would call it, but it's just new names, so that way, you know, it doesn't offend atheists or some crap.
tim pool
And AD means Anno Domini, the year of our Lord.
phil labonte
Yep.
tim pool
And they used to actually say, 1653, the year of our Lord.
phil labonte
Mm-hmm.
tim pool
Crazy.
ian crossland
Oh, wow.
tim pool
And now they say Common Era.
jimmy corsetti
I wonder how much of this- We say BC and AD here, because we're not- The thing about how ridiculous is that they cancelled time.
Like 2000 BC, it's like, so that doesn't count?
I'm stealing this joke from Louis C.K., but he made that joke.
It's like, so 2500 years ago is negative time.
Sorry, Ian, what were you going to say?
ian crossland
Well, I don't know how much of this is like self-fulfilling prophecy style or if we're actually in the apocalypse.
Do you believe that the Bible, I mean, you strike me more as an archaeologist than anything, but like, do you believe, I don't know if you have to go to school to become a technical archaeologist, is that the way it works?
jimmy corsetti
Let me just say I'm not an archaeologist.
I am an independent researcher.
I went to school for business and communications, religious studies.
I'm just somebody that I go down these rabbit holes and I look at what they say on the so-called mainstream side, I look at what the fringe says, I look at what the conspiracy theorists say, and I kind of just think for myself.
ian crossland
I wonder if the Bible actually portented what the future or if we're just kind of looking at it and like making it fulfilling the prophecy subconsciously.
jimmy corsetti
Or it could be that's an excellent question and sometimes it makes me wonder that us humans when I look at the works of the philosophers of old you know Plato, Socrates, Aristotle and you look at if you just sit down to read their works I'm like they literally have the human condition down to a T.
So I speculate that it's just the way we are, and over time, it's gonna get, it just repeats itself, and that you have the tyrants, you have these weirdos that just wanna control everybody else, and it's just the same system goes on and on again, because that is the way the human brain is wired.
Everyone at this table might not wanna be king of the universe, but unfortunately, there are people that really get off on that, and I don't know why.
It's not gonna bring them any happiness, but this is just seemingly the way it just keeps going and going and going.
I don't know.
ian crossland
Do you see a way to change it?
jimmy corsetti
Awakening, um, I think that, um, look, I would say probably psychedelics.
I've had some moments where I've had, you know, like, it gives you that, it's about the ego death.
You gotta, like, say things.
ian crossland
All right, hippie, easy there.
jimmy corsetti
No, I'm just kidding.
Um, but, like, honestly, like, TNs, I think that maybe this is how it's supposed to work.
Like, I, I am a believer that this is, we are part of something very special.
I believe in intelligent design.
I think that this might be a big, This could be a big dream for all we know.
I don't know.
I think that maybe this is... Simulation.
Yeah.
And so simulation would imply, you don't have to call it God, but whatever it is, creator.
And so I'm like, if that's the case, this could be, maybe this is a test.
Maybe this is supposed to be how it goes.
phil labonte
I have a problem with the simulation theory and the simulation theory is... Entertainment.
jimmy corsetti
Yeah, this is a fun time, right?
It gets better than nothing, right?
tim pool
Not for some people, dude.
phil labonte
The problem with the simulation theory is it only moves the goal further away.
It doesn't answer any questions.
All it does is say, okay, well, our reality is a simulation.
That means that there's another reality outside of ours.
What made that?
tim pool
However, it may be that in base reality, it's not even a question, it's known.
phil labonte
Possible.
tim pool
So the simulation's purpose could be, what would human life be like without knowing?
So imagine this, imagine we live in a simulation that was created quite literally to test the faith of people who aren't given definitive proof, but are told to believe.
Whereas in base reality, they quite literally have Jesus come down and be like, hey everybody, here's the latest update from God, and they're like, oh, okay.
jimmy corsetti
It could be, you know, this could be a big test just like that.
And I think it'd be smart for people, I like the way Dr. Jordan Peterson puts it, that believe in something, even if it doesn't even exist, you're better off.
And I think that people should operate as if they're being, this will sound crazy to some people, but you should live your life like you're on the world stage, that the cosmos are watching and that what you do matters, and that after your life, maybe there is a judgment, maybe there isn't, but I assure you that your life and the whole world would be a lot better if you operated that way.
phil labonte
Yeah.
Act like, act like that.
I think that Peterson is onto something when he says you have to act like everything you do matters.
Because if the things that you don't do don't matter, what's your point of doing them?
Like, what's the reason for you to get out of bed?
What's the reason for you to do anything if the things you don't do actually don't matter?
And if they don't matter, then, and if you can't find a reason, that's where you find nihilism.
That's where you find hopelessness.
That's why you find depression.
and that's where you find all these negative things because people need a reason.
I've said this before, I think that, this is just my personal opinion,
but I think that religion is a psychological phenomenon that cannot be separated from human beings,
which is why the government tends to supplant organized religions in atheist or agnostic societies
because human beings don't get the option of not having gods.
You can, as an individual, not have one, but your society is going to orient itself towards
something whether it be a god or an ideal or whatever,
and if that is...
If what your society is organizing itself in, pointing itself towards, is not productive for humans, if it's anti-human, you destroy your society.
And we've seen multiple societies in human history be completely wiped off the earth.
There's plenty of societies and civilizations that have gone the way of the dodo bird, and that's likely because they have their society organized improperly.
ian crossland
It seems like empires tend to fall.
I don't think there's an empire that's alive right now.
I want to ask you... You say Britain is, but the king's mockery of the U.S.
unidentified
is.
tim pool
So I want to ask you, Jimmy, there's a conspiracy theory that powerful interests around the world are manufacturing the end of days to force the return of Jesus.
Have you ever heard this?
jimmy corsetti
I have not.
tim pool
The idea is they're trying to implement the things described in the Bible So that they make the prophecy come true intentionally.
jimmy corsetti
That gives me chills.
tim pool
Yeah.
phil labonte
That's one of the reasons, like, if you talk to people that really hate Christians and they want to call people Nazis and stuff, tend to be on the left, they say that Christians and Republicans and stuff, they are pro-Israel because they want to kick the Jews out.
The whole reason that Christians are pro-Israel is because they want to get rid of the Jews and they need to have a place where they can send the Jews.
That's what they say.
Because everything to them boils down to, if you're not us, you're a Nazi.
tim pool
But so the general idea is all of these things that we're seeing with terms of the Great Reset, you'll only think you'll be happy, the Mark of the Beast, like the way the internet is making people, as you described in that, when you read that Bible quote, is being done by plan.
That's the conspiracy theory.
ian crossland
All right.
jimmy corsetti
And real quick, when you say Mark of the Beast, I have another verse.
It says that you will not be able to trade in the marketplace unless you take the Mark of the Beast.
Are you familiar with this?
tim pool
So I'm like, that's the Mark of the Beast.
jimmy corsetti
I'm like, oh my god.
Is that not what it would be?
Because you're going to pay with this digital currency.
tim pool
Everyone will have to have the app to scan.
Otherwise you can't buy, sell, or trade.
jimmy corsetti
And this is totally coming.
Does anyone here at this table suspect that that's not happening?
Isn't this exactly what they are saying?
unidentified
Yeah, that is, I think, central currency.
jimmy corsetti
It's the world economic form, which loves you.
And by the way, there's no evidence they don't love you.
There is no evidence.
There's no evidence Bill Gates doesn't love you.
There's no evidence Klaus Schwab doesn't love you.
There is no evidence.
You know, I'm quoting, like, there's no evidence.
There is no evidence.
Like, with the elections and stuff, just keep saying it.
There's no evidence.
tim pool
There's no evidence.
I love how Bill Gates is constantly going like, there's just too many humans and we got to do something about it and make less of them.
phil labonte
Yeah.
tim pool
And then everyone's like, that's a conspiracy theory.
Like dudes on stage at TED saying it.
jimmy corsetti
Giggling about it.
Giggling.
ian crossland
You mentioned psychedelics might help people overcome this pattern and create a new pattern.
I found that does help me personally create new patterns in my own thought processes.
But like it's something about when you said like ego death that made me think about Flow state, and this is the state that scientists have been studying fervently in recent times, where you quiet your frontal lobe, which is where your ego, your personality, your thoughts of me, I, it's in your frontal lobe.
When you cool that down and don't have activity up there, you go to this flow state, and if you're creative, you understand flow state.
You've probably experienced it at some point in your life, I'm sure of it.
Um, and if when you're in that state, you kind of have control, not control of reality, but you control it in a different way.
You interact with reality in a way where you're not like, it's not happening around you.
You are it.
jimmy corsetti
Right.
I'm convinced that this is like when people say like the debate about choice, like what's his face with that guy that talks about free will, um, that the, What's his name?
He's made a big case for it.
ian crossland
Joe Rockins?
jimmy corsetti
No, no, no, no.
You see him around on the internet all the time.
People look at the comments, talk about the guy who talks about free will.
You'll know his name.
phil labonte
Sam Harris?
jimmy corsetti
Bingo.
Sam Harris.
And I'm like, this is what debunks that.
I don't believe that for a second.
In fact, I think that it's extremely dangerous to make people think they don't have a choice.
That's a lie.
That's the devil.
You always have a choice.
I agree.
And the thing is, is that I totally understand his argument that if you're born in a certain situation and raised a certain way, you can react with the reptilian brain so quickly.
It's like, you kind of didn't have a choice.
But what you just described, I believe, is the way around that, which is that to take an objective step back, and with that mitigating ego, so now you realize you do have a choice, and you don't have to act impulsively, and you don't have to, you can actually choose to think.
I think that telling people they don't have a choice is one of the most dangerous things.
I think it's the big scam.
ian crossland
Yeah, talk about free will and I guess you would say, what's free will and determinism, I think is what the two opposites?
Well, I think that there is a form of determinism and that we're in this magnetic field being moved along magnetically with God.
And they say, are you with God?
Because you're moving with it.
You have the free will to bend away from that and kind of step away from God's plan and create your own will and your own plan and sometimes that can actually get God, it seems like, get God to go along with you and the rest of humanity to kind of change course a little bit and you've kind of recalibrated determinism for the entire species of all of reality.
tim pool
I gotta push back on the magnetism portion of it.
Because if you were to say, like, the ether or something, or this, like, intrinsic field or something, that might be, that might resonate more.
ian crossland
Yeah, subatomic spin.
tim pool
But what you're saying is physics buzzwords to represent something that we can't understand.
ian crossland
Then I'll stop using the word magnetism.
It's too big.
Magnetism's too big.
It's a much smaller process.
tim pool
But gravity.
ian crossland
Which I think is a form of magnetism.
phil labonte
A resonating frequency of magnetism.
tim pool
My issue with this is like, we of small and limited mind have identified one fundamental force, therefore we will describe God as that.
And that's like, that's just, I think, a bad idea.
That doesn't make sense.
ian crossland
Yeah, it's more about the way the universe moves.
tim pool
Give it its own word if you have to.
Spin?
No, because spin is also a very quantifiable and tangible thing that we can study and replicate.
If you're trying to say that there's some kind of God field, that unites and bonds people to God, and it's beyond our
understanding, then I'm like, ah, right, right, right.
Some kind of field of energy we can't...
ian crossland
Like the Higgs field?
No, you're doing it again.
You're doing it again.
You're never going to be able to see it because it's always going to be smaller than what
phil labonte
But it's not size.
The point that he's making is these are all phenomena.
You talk about phenomena that we can study and that we're familiar with.
You talk about vibrations a lot.
Vibrations are kinetic energy.
We understand kinetic energy.
You talk about electromagnetism.
Electromagnetism is one of the four fundamental forces of the universe.
We understand that pretty well.
The thing we don't really understand is gravity, so fair enough.
We don't know where gravity comes from, but the strong force that we...
Yeah, but it's less understood than the strong force.
ian crossland
It's a pushing force, actually.
phil labonte
It's not.
ian crossland
Gravity is a pushing force, it's not pulling.
phil labonte
It bends space.
It's not a pushing force.
ian crossland
It is pushing, yeah.
You're being pushed towards Earth.
phil labonte
He's right, he's right.
You're traveling through a straight line through space, through curved space.
Space itself is bent by massive objects.
So that's why, like a black hole, you can't get out because the curvature of space is so much that you can't travel fast enough to get of it. The speed of light is faster or is slower than the
speed you need to go to get out of that curvature. Mass makes the field that we exist
in, three dimensions, up, down, left, right, forward, back. Mass makes the field we exist
in curve, bend. That's what gravity is. But the strong force, the force that keeps subatomic
particles together, the weak force and the electromagnetic force, these are things
that we understand really well. So if you're talking about a new force or a force
that's unrelated to these, that's fine. But when you use forces that we can study and that
have been studied for decades and decades and decades and stuff, you tend to miss, you're
not making the connection that you're trying to make. You know what I mean?
Because you're using things that we can relate to already, that we have experience with and can test and stuff like that, is I think what Tim's trying to say.
tim pool
Imagine if, you know, an indigenous tribe of people were like, the sun is God and we're all connected by the warmth of the sun.
It's like, we know that's not true.
We know the sunlight is an electromagnetic frequency that is coming from this gigantic fusion reaction.
And so if you're trying to say that there is an energy, a spiritual energy, we can't, we don't understand, call it that.
But saying magnetism is like me saying this clicker remote control is what connects us to God.
Like, no, that's one small thing.
ian crossland
Maybe it's like the way, see this word again, vibration, we're just, I mean we don't have the tools to measure this stuff, but something's cracking, like photons are appearing out of the Higgs field.
tim pool
Every time you say vibration or Higgs or whatever, all you're doing is like picking up a rock that we found and claiming that's God.
ian crossland
All I can do is talk about bosons and fermions, the subatomic spin right now.
We don't have the tools to see smaller than that.
phil labonte
So you can talk about them, but do you know why you're talking about them?
Do you understand the things that you're talking about?
ian crossland
The way they're spinning is determining whether or not they become protons or neutrons or electrons, and it also determines where they're going to appear in reality.
When we look at reality, we think of it as moving across, but it's actually appearing in place.
Appearing in place consistently in a new position over and over and over again.
You're not actually moving, you're appearing.
You're constantly appearing in place in a new position.
So, I think you can change the way you appear.
phil labonte
I don't understand.
ian crossland
And more than just positionally, but the way, way is a vague term.
jimmy corsetti
Do you want to hear a mind-eff to go along with talking about the sun and God real quick?
And we're talking about all this, the subatomic particles.
So something like 94% or it could be 96% of all elements in existence emit from the sun.
Give that a Google.
Something like over 90, like 94% is what I recall, of all elements in existence emit from the sun.
Google it.
tim pool
But you've got to clarify what that means.
jimmy corsetti
You mean that... It is stardust.
We are made by the stardust.
tim pool
Fusion reactions within stars create elements.
Yes.
Not the sun.
The sun is a microscopic component of reality.
ian crossland
The sun is one of many generators that are producing up to 94% of all matter.
jimmy corsetti
Apparently all matter that exists came from, is constantly being emitted from suns and exploded supernovas around the cosmos.
ian crossland
But there's 6% of it that's not coming from stars?
jimmy corsetti
That might not even be the case.
Maybe it is and they don't realize it, but I know that these elements also come from deep sea heat vents.
You know what I'm talking about?
Like superheated vents.
They're finding that the building blocks of life are being emitted from that, which is unbelievable because we're talking about superheated.
We're talking about molten rock.
It's being emitted out of that.
So when you think about the fact that we are quite literally made of stardust by definition, and the fact that we're now sitting here talking about it is one of the biggest mind f's for me because I'm like, What is this kind of creation?
To me, that's evidence of intelligent design.
Not everyone listening is going to like that, but I'm like, that's kind of weird.
The fact that I can conscientiously choose to even discuss it, and talk about it, and present it, is like the biggest that everyone really gets.
tim pool
Here's the sad reality around creationism, intelligent design, whether it's secular, simulation, or religious.
You know, when you play a video game, The video game might have stars in the sky, but there ain't nothing up there.
It's just a picture.
And if we are in a simulation, if we are in a created universe for our experience, then space is just pictures.
Ain't nothing up there.
It's all down here.
And we're all alone.
Just us, here for ourselves.
jimmy corsetti
Or at least that's all we can observe.
I like to use the analogy of an ant.
Ants are very sophisticated, and you drive by hundreds or thousands of ant hills every day, and they have absolutely no concept whatsoever that there is somebody inside, or even of a vehicle itself, but somebody's in it going to their job.
It's beyond their even realm of comprehension.
It's beyond a dog's comprehension.
ian crossland
For sure.
Our brains are so limited relative to potential.
tim pool
This is great.
This is one of the answers to Fermi's paradox.
For those that aren't familiar, I assume most of you are.
If the universe is so big and aliens exist, why have we not discovered intelligent alien life?
It could be that we are ants next to a superhighway that we can't comprehend, and we look up at the stars going, wow, I wonder what that does.
Meanwhile, super advanced species, which are well beyond human comprehension, are zipping around multiple different dimensions and times and just like, They don't care about us in much the same way that we don't care about ants.
serge du preez
Yeah.
ian crossland
I realized if, when we, I actually tweeted this out, when we master the communication we can't hear, the aliens will come.
tim pool
What does that mean?
ian crossland
There's a body language.
When you can speak, communicate with your thoughts.
Once the human race masters that ability, I think.
serge du preez
Telepathy?
ian crossland
Yeah.
Just think words at people instead of saying them.
You communicate with your body language that way.
serge du preez
Do that right now to me and then see if I can get it.
ian crossland
This is how you do it.
unidentified
Nothing, man.
serge du preez
I'm sorry.
I'm trying.
I don't know.
jimmy corsetti
But what happens when you think of somebody in the call?
You guys have had some pretty spectacular secrecies.
tim pool
We've all had those moments where you grab your phone and then right when you turn it,
right when you press like wake up, you answered a phone call at the exact moment
and it's the person you wanted to call.
jimmy corsetti
Isn't that wild, right?
What is that?
Is it just coincidence?
tim pool
No, I don't think.
Hold on, back in the day when we had landlines, this happened to me maybe three or four times in my life.
I walk up to my phone to call my friend, I pick the phone up and there's no dial tone.
And I'm like, what's going on?
Then I hear some noise, like hello.
And then my friend goes, hello.
unidentified
And then I'm like, who is?
tim pool
Rick?
He's like, oh, yeah, I just called you.
Oh, wow, I just called you.
And I'm like, whoa, wait, what?
jimmy corsetti
Jaw dropping.
tim pool
I picked up the phone to call you right when he dialed the number and on his end it never rang.
He dialed the number and I was instantly there on the phone.
And he's like, huh?
And for me, I picked my phone up and he's already on the phone.
I'm like, what just happened?
jimmy corsetti
And the crazy ones is when it's somebody you haven't talked to in a long time, maybe it's months, maybe it's a couple of years, and all of a sudden, you get an email, or you get a DM, or a phone call, or a text.
What's that about?
What are the odds?
Sometimes I wonder, I've had these moments where I'm like, this goes beyond the realm of coincidence.
And sometimes it's on a day where something had happened that reminded me of them, or I heard that song, because songs are an interesting way of taking you back in time.
I could hear a song on the radio, and be like, oh, I was in the seventh grade, I remember this, because I was doing this with these buddies.
You know what I'm talking about?
And so I'm like, sometimes when things happen like that, it makes me like a believer.
I'm like, this, there's, I don't know how we're all connected, whether it's one consciousness or what, but sometimes I think that there's way more going on behind the veil of the human eyes.
tim pool
Have you read about near-death experiences?
jimmy corsetti
Yeah.
tim pool
I've read, I read this book a long time ago, like 20 years ago now, or like 18 years ago.
And it was talking, like a lot, people said a lot of the same things, like they died, they could see a bright light, they felt warmed, they felt like they were being lifted up.
And one book I read said a common theme was, They felt like they were being pulled towards this very large ball of light, but they could see other balls coming towards it as well.
And I'm wondering, just a thought, are we all small... We are all pieces of the universe, obviously.
jimmy corsetti
Yeah.
tim pool
But is it possible that the energy and consciousness within us is a fraction of the greater entity of consciousness?
phil labonte
Gnosticism.
tim pool
When we die, we go back and rejoin.
ian crossland
Concentric circles.
phil labonte
That's all Gnosticism.
The Gnostics believe that God is the Demiurge.
God is actually Satan and there is a God above God which is the Gnostic God.
They believe that that God has broken itself apart and it's in every living being and every person and the goal of people is to realize that we are God and when we do that then we will I forget the phrase, uh, but we will become one with the, uh, the ultimate or one with the, the only one.
If you don't do that, you like, I don't know the whole detail.
I don't know.
It's a religion that I don't know a whole ton about, but I do know that Gnosticism believes that that the God that is worshiped, like the, the, Judeo-Christian God, Islamic God, is actually the devil and that the real God is broken himself apart and is inhabiting all of us and when we realize that we are God then we will have like that will actually be the beginning of time.
Like time hasn't started yet.
tim pool
My religion is that when you die, you wake up in an arcade with your buddies.
ian crossland
Playing Street Fighter 2?
tim pool
You take off the headset, and you're like, whoa, that was crazy!
ian crossland
That seems awesome, yeah.
tim pool
And then it's like, you know, you die, and then next thing you know, you're sitting in an arcade, you take the helmet off, and then your buddies are like, dude, you were a rock star in a band called All That Remains!
phil labonte
You're like, yeah, it was great!
ian crossland
When you talk about God, this Gnostic God, and how it's within all of us, I'm thinking about how there's this theory about how the universe is like white holes and black holes, and that the black holes are sucking matter in, and that it's transporting it or transmitting it, and it's bursting out of these white holes, which are stars.
And then I wonder if we have white holes within our protons or within... What's causing the subatomic spin to actually spin?
What's gestating that momentum?
Is it a white hole?
Is it some sort of expulsive force that's being withdrawn through black holes?
And is that God coming out of us?
tim pool
Bro, you ever program a video game?
unidentified
Yeah, well I used GameMaker way back in the day.
tim pool
So for a lot of people, I'm not, you know... RPG maker.
So I'll say two things.
One, in video games, what they do now is only what's in your field of view is rendering, and when you move, it rapidly renders the objects around, saves memory and is easier to process.
But when I used to do GameMaker stuff, Multimedia Fusion, Flash, If you are making a game, let's say you're like, uh, what's it, what's it, Galaga?
Yeah.
Is that your little spaceship and then the aliens come down?
ian crossland
It was like Space Invaders Plus.
Yeah, it was a big upgrade.
tim pool
In the, in the future iterations of these games where you're, you're overhead view of the little spaceship and it's, you know, shooting the guns and then getting the power-ups and the bad guys are coming down, what is really happening is that if you were to take the video game screen and zoom out and see beyond what the screen could show you, there are other objects outside of your field of view.
Just above your little spaceship is a block with no graphic design.
Object.
We can call it Object A. Object A is the creation point where obstacles are descending from, and it moves around basically creating.
Not necessarily creating, but the way it worked in the games, at least in the games I made them, if you were playing a game where your platform are running forward, and I would want to generate random enemies and obstacles, there would be an object that moved up and down,
and then I would, the code would say something to the effect of
every, uh, you'd create a variable so that it could, so that it would generate
between, you know, like between one and ten seconds, uh, you know, at random, create object
17 at y minus one object a, and what that means is that object that moves around is the point at
which the game fires the obstacle, the enemy.
So let's say you're playing Mario and a bird comes across the screen.
There's something that's in front of you you can't see.
ian crossland
Do you think that's happening in reality?
tim pool
Well, so I bring that up because that's a white hole.
The white hole, as you described it, where matter is coming out of, could just be a spawn point for matter that the simulation or God uses.
ian crossland
I only question if it's random.
Because we use that word random, but I don't see any evidence that any of this is random.
I mean, I can only assume that, like you said, Jimmy, we're talking about this primordial soup.
That's not, this isn't like, oops, we accidentally fell down and now we're humans talking about it.
jimmy corsetti
And the fact that we have feelings, the fact that, you know, it's like talking about what we do matters, the fact that when you do something wrong, there's this weird feeling about it, and you can talk about what's wrong and that's debatable, but the fact that there's feeling, as well as something called love, we all, you can't prove that it exists, but we all know it, right?
Does it not exist?
What's that about?
Let me just say people say that's like survival like oh well you need it to like a companion whatever I'm like I don't know I think that you know you could argue that love is almost like the you know it could destroy a lot of people in some ways I don't know we're gonna say I didn't mean to cut you off like that there's a lot of life on this planet that doesn't have love yeah yeah trees as far as we can tell don't experience the same existence we do in fact when I look at a tree I see essentially the same thing as fire A chemical reaction.
tim pool
Now, you can make the argument that plants, of course, are not ensouled in the same way as humans are, and humans are ensouled, and that's what creates everything you've described.
ian crossland
I bet they are.
They have circulatory systems.
tim pool
I gotta tell you though, like, you know, Seamus says that there's different kinds of souls
and that idea generally makes sense to me because there's no way that, you know,
when I look at a dog, you can tell a dog's emotions.
Oh yeah.
You know that dog has not the same, but similar feelings and emotions and expectations.
And even, you know, cats.
Cats are very different, they're more independent, but like I can, this is the thing,
like Roberto Jr. died.
He was a rooster.
We raised one of the first that we hatched.
We got these original chickens.
Roberto knocked them up.
We didn't realize Roberto was a boy.
We take a few of the eggs that are fertilized.
We incubate them.
They were a weak batch.
Only one remains.
Kind of sad.
But Roberto Jr.
has had kids.
And I did not shed a tear for Roberto Jr.
I am not that upset that he died.
It's sad.
It's like, aw, Roberto Jr.
He was our dude.
You know, he's the mascot for our coffee.
But roosters don't have that emotional connection or actual, like, mammalian bond or whatever.
I just... He's a rooster.
He was funny.
He looked at me.
He... You know, that's it.
Right.
Mr. Bocas, our cat, and the other dogs that we have here...
Express love and affection in a way that is relatable and understandable to humans, that humans feel.
ian crossland
I bet if you trip balls on acid with Roberto, you would see his eyes and you look in his eye for like an hour and you're just looking in his eyes and you'd feel it.
tim pool
I don't, I don't agree.
Birds, birds are like, they bang their kids.
ian crossland
Even insects.
tim pool
Like, Roberto's banging his daughters and stuff like that.
I'm like, I don't feel any connection to these things.
They're food.
Yeah.
You know, I like them.
I don't want them to be hurt.
It's sad when they die.
I don't cry when they do.
Except when Bogus gets sick, I get worried and it hurts my feelings.
ian crossland
It's that brain creature, like the brain, brain stem that's floating in salt water that we all have, even birds.
jimmy corsetti
The reptilian brain, right?
ian crossland
The stem.
Yeah, it's the brain and the stem.
It's all one creature.
It looks like an octopus, kind of.
Like, it fell down into the ocean living in saltwater, and now it's like, surround me with a sticky, wet meat sack to contain the saltwater, and I'll come out of the ocean and carry the saltwater around with me.
But we're these, like, floating octopoid things, these weird things that are, like, tugging on muscle with electrical impulses.
And we all share that.
All the animals have a brain.
I think every...
Is it safe to say every animal has a brain?
phil labonte
No.
ian crossland
No?
Oh, no.
unidentified
Jellyfish.
serge du preez
Flatworms.
ian crossland
So, shrimp.
serge du preez
Yeah, shrimp.
ian crossland
Once you start getting into brain creatures, that's like... I don't know if that's... if we're different, like... Whale's got big brains!
serge du preez
Yeah, brain creatures, that's a cool one.
jimmy corsetti
Octopus.
Yeah, their whole body's pretty much a brain.
It's connected to all eight tentacles.
tim pool
See, the problem, this interesting thing about alien life, If alien life was, I think if we were ever to discover alien life that was traveling the stars, they would be very similar to us.
Very similar.
In fact, they'd probably breathe the same atmosphere.
The reason being, the octopi is a very intelligent creature, super smart, ain't never going to smelt or create computers.
unidentified
Why?
tim pool
It's underwater.
ian crossland
But what if it creates, what if we created a body that it can live inside of in saltwater?
phil labonte
No.
Well, what do you ask?
ian crossland
Could it manipulate a body's hand from inside?
A robot.
Like our brains do with our bodies.
tim pool
Right, so we create a robot with a water tank on top and the octopus is inside manipulating
controls and communicating in a way that it can translate to English and then we can actually
interact with it.
phil labonte
But what you're doing when you say, can we put it into a body, is you're saying, can
we take this creature that has no reference of what a human experience is like, right?
So we as humans can look at an octopus and understand that thing thinks differently to us.
Because the experiences that we have have a significant impact on ourselves.
So if you took an octopus that has eight tentacles, no spine, all of these different things that, to what we humans are, The way that it experiences reality has to be totally alien to us.
So if you put it into a human, like a robot with a human type of body, there's no reason to think that it would understand or even know what to do.
And so like the idea of being like, whoa, we'll just take this brain and put it into the robot that we built like it was from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
It wouldn't, there's no reason to think that it would understand or see things the way that we do, you know what I mean?
The way that we experience in the world is very particular to human beings.
ian crossland
Well, the monkeys, have you seen the monkeys working on computers, like touchscreens?
phil labonte
Monkeys are totally different than octopuses.
They're so smart.
Monkeys are totally different than octopuses.
Monkeys are bipedal, they have hands, they have faces.
Octopuses are totally different creatures.
ian crossland
I suppose that instead of saying put it in a body, just build an interface for it so that it can somehow let us know.
phil labonte
That assumes that it could interface.
tim pool
Right, right, so hold on, hold on.
Ian, what he's saying is, you might, you look at food, you think, oh, that piece of cake looks delicious.
The octopus might not even think in these terms that we can even understand.
ian crossland
Well, have you seen the octopus in tanks?
They'll see another fish in another tank, they want it, they search the tank, they find a crack, they slide up, they move through, they'll even climb out of water and climb across the land.
phil labonte
And everything that it does is like an octopus.
The point that I'm making is there is no human, there's no reference for you to take an octopus, put it into a situation that a human understands, and think that the octopus could understand it.
A human being would never look, like you could never be in a tank and then be like, oh, there's a crack in there, I should try and shove myself through.
Because you're a human!
It doesn't come to you, like that experience doesn't work.
ian crossland
But sound, for instance.
tim pool
With AI, brute forcing.
A computer program could probably... I think we're getting close to the point where an A.I.
could figure out communications between other animals.
phil labonte
Yeah, I see where you're going.
tim pool
That's crazy, right?
phil labonte
That's reasonable.
That's fine.
tim pool
So, you think about how we have this A.I.
rapidly learning and how it's creating all these images.
Imagine if we just had... You know, when we do CapShow... Here's the thing.
The amount of data we give to A.I.
is insane.
We don't have that with, say, a fish or an octopus.
We go on dating apps, we go on Twitter, we go on all these apps and we give our data up that are fed into this machine, this computer, which then rips through all the data and then figures out how to replicate and understand what a human is.
Imagine if we made chat GPT but it was based on all the sounds a dolphin made.
And we just had a bunch of supercomputers running through all the different sounds dolphins make and then like making the sound and seeing how dolphins react over a long period of time and then eventually deciphering dolphin communication.
ian crossland
Oh yeah.
tim pool
Crazy, right?
phil labonte
Mm-hmm.
tim pool
And then you can actually make a dolphin translator, where you can- and dolphins are intelligent.
Yeah, but the thing is like- So you could say like, uh, we're gonna throw in some fish if you want to move to the left, and then it goes- Yeah.
And then the dolphins all go left, and then you throw the fish in.
phil labonte
But the thing that- so like, this is one thing that I see with- that we see with people all the time, right?
So people will yell at their dog, and they expect their dog to understand them.
That is stupid.
I say this when I talk about communism.
You cannot make the unable able, so you must make the able unable.
You can't make a dog as smart as a human.
So if you try to communicate with a dog like it's a human, that dog is going to be like, no, I don't understand.
ian crossland
Unless it eats a bunch of mushrooms.
tim pool
I disagree, I disagree.
phil labonte
Uh, we don't speak- You can't read.
tim pool
We don't speak dog, but when a dog goes, you're like, dog is mad.
unidentified
You can understand the dog, the dog can't understand you.
tim pool
The dog understands when you're mad, when you're happy, when you're laughing, when you're crying.
ian crossland
It understands tone.
tim pool
Like we understand when a dog is mad, but don't know what it's trying to convey.
Outside of that, the dog can understand our emotions as well.
phil labonte
Fair enough, you can't- Articulate any kind of complex idea with a dog.
Fair enough.
ian crossland
Some dogs, they know their name for sure, that's not a complex idea.
tim pool
They can know hundreds of words.
True.
True.
phil labonte
Or an abstract idea, how about that?
tim pool
There's arguments that they've actually displayed rudimentary math in dogs, and the response you tend to get is, no, the dogs are treating it like any other stimuli response.
Whereas a human actually is going 1, 2, 3, and understanding 1, 2, 3, there are 3.
ian crossland
Creating virtual images in their brain.
tim pool
The dog is saying 3 because you said woof.
The dog is just doing, if you say A, I say B. If you say 1, I say 2.
The dog is actually not a calculate.
But there are arguments that they've actually, like some animals have actually done math.
The counter is, it's just a training response.
ian crossland
The ability to hold, like, an imaginary idea in your head and then add it to another imaginary idea and see them as, like, mathematics, you know, these... Is that... I don't know if that's from psychedelics.
Like, why do we have that and other species don't?
I think our species evolved from apes that at some point broke off into a small community that was just dosing psychedelics as part of their daily life.
Like, we have cannabinoid receptors in our brains, ready for the cannabis, that cannabinoid.
I mean, it is part of our evolution.
So, at some point, humans got really smart.
And I don't know why, but psychedelic seems like the most obvious.
Cooking food, probably.
Cooking is another big part of it?
phil labonte
No, cooking meat is why.
Because the calorie content, when you cook meat, it makes it easier to digest and so you can get more calories.
So that made primates capable of building bigger brains because you got more calories out of eating.
ian crossland
Throwing, I think, also.
There's a huge explosion of development after people figured out how to throw because they could start hunting.
phil labonte
Yeah, but I would assume that that makes sense.
ian crossland
Hunting and cooking.
phil labonte
Yeah.
The cooking is cooking was directly related to calorie intake because cooking meat makes your body break down the food better.
And so you can get more calories out of the food.
ian crossland
Are you sure that they were not cooking psilocybin mushrooms with their meat?
Yeah, there's no way to know.
On the side.
jimmy corsetti
A nice side of sautéed psilocybin mustard.
ian crossland
A nice sautéed amanita muscaria.
phil labonte
You know, I wasn't there, so I can't say that I'm sure.
ian crossland
It's a stoned ape theory.
It was, what's his name, came up with it?
jimmy corsetti
Yeah, Stamets.
ian crossland
Terrence McKenna?
jimmy corsetti
Oh, Terrence McKenna, yes.
ian crossland
Who'd you say?
jimmy corsetti
Paul Stamets, he does the... Oh, great guy.
ian crossland
Have you worked with Stamets before?
jimmy corsetti
No, I've just, I've seen his work.
ian crossland
World-leading mycologist.
Highly recommend.
Yeah, man.
tim pool
Mushrooms are aliens, right?
jimmy corsetti
Hey, speaking of octopus, you should look in Google octopus.
They think they may have arrived here on comets because they are like no other creature anywhere else on earth with their origin.
Google, yeah, octopus comets or something.
It's the one animal that's completely and mysteriously, like as far as like the whole topic of evolution, it's outside that parameters.
Is that what that article is saying?
tim pool
Yeah, it says they're aliens.
And it's getting a bunch of different reasons why it says so.
Cosmic powers?
serge du preez
Whoa, that comes out of nowhere.
ian crossland
This one says no aliens.
phil labonte
I'm sold now.
Don't call me.
unidentified
Let me read it.
phil labonte
Hell yeah.
tim pool
Okay.
Between 2008 and 2010, Paul the Octopus was regularly asked to pick the winners of FIFA games.
Out of 14 predictions, he was correct 12 times.
ian crossland
Wow.
Aliens.
tim pool
When they swim, their hearts stop beating.
When they're threatened, they'll release ink.
Let's see, if it's caught by a predator, it is able to escape by losing its arm.
They're extremely strong beak-like jaws and venomous saliva.
The females lay 100,000 eggs, will guard their eggs until they hatch, during which time they rarely eat, at the end of their reproductive cycle.
Yeah, have you seen the babies?
They're like super tiny.
Yeah, very, very small.
jimmy corsetti
You know what else they'll do?
So if you put an octopus in with a jar with food in it, over time it'll figure out how to unscrew the jar.
unidentified
Yeah.
jimmy corsetti
But if you have another octopus watching it, it will figure it out the first time it watches it and immediately will go open up that jar.
serge du preez
It learns.
jimmy corsetti
Which is wild.
ian crossland
So they have memory recognition.
unidentified
Yes.
ian crossland
That's why I think they can learn language.
jimmy corsetti
You know, if you want, if you really want it, like I'll never, so I've eaten octopus, it's been years, I'll never, it's delicious, I'll never eat it again because watch videos, go on YouTube and watch, anyone listening, go watch octopus show gratitude for when people have saved them and tell me that that octopus is not grateful.
I could never eat again, it's too conscious, it's too smart.
ian crossland
Eight brains?
They have eight brains?
jimmy corsetti
Is that right?
Well, yes, so the brain, it's one brain, but it's connected through all eight tentacles, so most of its body is a brain.
And that's how it can operate hundreds of its suction cups individually at each individual time, simultaneously, to be able to go through one of the small little crevices or cracks inside of a boat and get its way off.
ian crossland
Shout out to OctoNation, by the way, if you don't follow him on Instagram.
It's a great follow if you like octopuses.
And why is it not octopi?
tim pool
This is just like it touches his foot, though.
unidentified
It don't, you know, it loves us.
ian crossland
The gratitude of an octopus.
phil labonte
Yeah, I mean, the thing is, like, as far as, like, animals go, like, octopus is super freaking cool.
serge du preez
They are really cool, but I mean, a horse can show you gratitude for feeding it.
jimmy corsetti
Oh, totally.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
serge du preez
Especially pack animals, they definitely have, like, it's a biological, it's gonna help them survive if they can show gratitude and show you that, hey, look, I really did this for me, like, I'll do the same for you in the future.
So it's like, you know.
Right, reciprocity.
But it's true, reciprocity, that's the word I'm looking for, yes.
But yeah, octopuses are cool.
I don't really like to eat calamari because of that fact.
It's just not really- Well calamari's squid though.
Yeah, that's true.
Squid and octopuses- Very similar.
jimmy corsetti
But I mean, a squid's probably not as smart.
serge du preez
No, definitely not.
Yeah.
ian crossland
What an animal.
They're just a giant brain.
I mean, not just a giant brain.
tim pool
I don't know, that's silly.
ian crossland
Huge brain matter.
Floating brain kind of thing.

We're gonna go to Super Chat, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and become a member by going to TimCast.com, clicking join us to support our work directly.
And with that amazing membership you provide us, we're gonna make documentaries, we're gonna launch new shows, we're opening up a coffee shop.
You can also download the Timcast app from the Google Play Store.
Get it now!
The Apple Store app will be coming out soon.
We're just waiting for their approval.
Alright.
Where are we at with these Super Chats?
Oh, okay, what do we got?
Steve Sanders says, I've mentioned before I was arrested due to a mask mandate.
In the state of Florida, on public property, with the mask mandates returning, should I stand my ground or put on the mask, or my arrest, was three hours in handcuffs, four and a half in county jail for not wearing a mask?
In Florida?
serge du preez
That's crazy.
tim pool
Look man, I just gotta tell you, you know, I don't know, stay away from these communist cities and move to Martinsburg, West Virginia.
Bring based individuals who believe in America to Martinsburg, West Virginia.
ian crossland
Yeah, I want to inspire you to, to make, it's just hard for me to think, like, tell someone to do something that might get them arrested.
Right.
I'm not comfortable doing that.
I'm telling you I would, what I would do, and hopefully that inspires you to do it, but I don't want to be like, I'm going to go do the thing that's illegal and get, like, I don't even want it to become a thing.
So I'm not going to tell you I'm going to defy it because it's not a thing.
jimmy corsetti
Go where you are welcome.
That is something like Jesus said something to the effect that when you're at a place that is completely ostracizing you, you want to go elsewhere.
So go like we were talking about sheriffs earlier.
Go to a county that has a constitutional sheriff because the amount of power they have is actually incredible compared to like some municipal.
People need to look into this.
Look into constitutional sheriffs.
phil labonte
Yeah, sheriffs are super important.
You should know who your sheriff is, at least know who they are.
And a lot of sheriffs are elected, so the fact that they have to be voted into office to get the position means that they tend to be more...
They'll listen to their constituents more than a police officer would, or a police chief would, because a police chief's just gonna be like, yo, I have to listen to the mayor.
Sheriff has to run, and I'll get elected again.
Or not always, but some sheriffs do.
tim pool
Do something, do anything with a correction, saying Poseidon is the underwater nuke.
Satan 2 is just their newest MIRV.
unidentified
Oh.
tim pool
Interesting.
But I have a correction for you.
It's M-I-R-V, not M-E-R-V.
Multiple Independently Targeted Reentry Vehicle.
jimmy corsetti
Interesting that you chose the name Poseidon because it's said to be the first king of Atlantis.
Poseidon.
unidentified
Interesting.
ian crossland
Yes, uh, more, what was his name?
Atlas?
jimmy corsetti
Atlas.
tim pool
King Atlas.
jimmy corsetti
Yes.
ian crossland
And then they called him, the Greeks called him Poseidon or something?
jimmy corsetti
Yeah, so I meant to say Atlas was the very first king but Atlantis itself was created by Poseidon and Poseidon went on to have five sets of twins, all sons, and the very first born was named Atlas that founded So Poseidon kind of brought it together but then Atlas was
ian crossland
like the Alexander Great that came along and like put it on the map kind of
and named it after himself and everything. So have there have there been no
tim pool
like excavations of the what's it called the Reikia structure? The Rishat
jimmy corsetti
structure commonly referred to as the eye of the Sahara. There's been no legitimate
archaeological study. The Mauritanian government won't allow digging there. There's
gold that's one of the reasons I had a friend that went out there let me give
another shout out Josh Sigurdsson World Alternative Media he went out there this
guy saw my video a few years ago and went to the Rishat structure and also
David Stig Hansen they'll be so thrilled to hear their name mentioned but no
like you can't even use ground radar. They'll threaten you under penalty
of being put in prison.
Yeah, well, you know, there's gold in West Africa, and that's another site that makes it so fascinating is the amount of gold.
So before the discovery of gold in the Americas, Europe got a majority of their gold from Mauritania, which is just wild because it's at the same site that matches a number of similarities to the lost city of Atlantis.
tim pool
So we need Vivek Ramaswamy to add to his campaign promises that he will send a military incursion into the Raichat structure by force to discover the secret of Atlantis.
jimmy corsetti
Yes.
If people want to look, if there was, if that was indeed the site, and maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, I believe it's by far the most likely.
ian crossland
How big is it?
jimmy corsetti
It's 16 miles across for the circular nature of it.
It's even wider if you go to like the full, full outer skirts.
But if there was going to be any remnants, I mean, it's clear evidence that this site got bulldozed by the ocean tens of millions of years before scientifically known.
Like anyone listening right now, I guarantee there's people, you know, saying like, Atlantis?
What are you talking about?
Back burn Atlantis for just a second.
Look through the entire Western Sahara and you could tell textbook striations of catastrophic water erosion.
Look at look at the the eye of the Sahara from space and you can see these striations that go straight over it going from east to west out into the Atlantic Ocean.
Now, if the rare shot was the site, you would want to look off the West coast of Africa
into the ocean.
It plummets down like 10,000 feet extremely quickly.
But in the context of climate change, when right now this is like one of the biggest topics
and it's gonna be something that's about to start ruling our lives.
If you listen to what the powers that be are saying, it's all about gonna be the climate lockdowns.
It's gonna be the 15 minute cities.
They're saying they're gonna do it.
So if they're gonna talk about rate of change, cause that's what it is.
Like we're not denying that the earth doesn't change.
We're talking about the rate.
The humans are changing the rate faster than ever before.
Okay, so I have a question.
It's a little, most people are not aware that the Sahara desert was green
up until approximately 5,000 years ago.
It had one of the largest networks of rivers, had the largest freshwater lake ever known to exist
on planet earth.
And...
And it was a green tropical paradise up until 5,000 years ago.
The scientific studies, well, they say it's a 20,000 year cycle and there is tilt, which raises all kinds of questions, because it's like, okay, well, where are we in this tilt now?
Where's that come into the equation of rate of change?
Also, the scientific studies will say that between 11,000 and 5,000 years ago, so over 6,000 years, is approximately when it changed.
I'll show you other studies that are published that say somewhere, like you look up, a Smithsonian article between 8,500 and 4,500 years ago.
So that's a 4,000 year window.
Other ones will say between 6,000 and 5,000 years.
And another one will say in less than 100 years.
And the point that I'm making here is that if they can't articulate the rate of change
that the Sahara Desert went from, and we're talking about a region
the size of the contiguous United States, and if they're ballparking it between,
you know, up to 6,000 years, then it is quite literally not possible
for them to definitively say that we are now changing the rate of our climate
faster than ever before if they can't even articulate what happened to the Sahara
and how fast.
Does that make sense?
ian crossland
Yeah.
jimmy corsetti
So the people are full of crap, is what I'm trying to say.
ian crossland
I think that the Grand Canyon was carved out by a massive flood, personally.
jimmy corsetti
Anyone that's flown over it, I'm telling you, and they'll say that's not the case, that it happened over millions of years, but I'm like, okay, well there's many massive rivers that are found all over the world that are So the Grand Canyon is something like five to six million years old, while the Nile River is like 30 million years.
The Mississippi is almost 70 million years.
And you can talk about downhill, you can talk about changes of elevation, but the reality is that if you look at pictures of it, it's quite shallow in comparison.
This is pseudo, by the way, like I guarantee that some scientist listening is like, we don't know what I'm talking about.
Fine.
But the reality is this, is that there's evidence of catastrophic erosion that in like what I was mentioning scriptures earlier, they talk about a deluge.
There's more than, there's hundreds of cultures around five continents around the world that talk about a flood.
And now they have the scientific evidence that there was a massive 400 foot rise in sea levels at the end of the last ice age.
And they don't know why it happened so quickly.
We're gonna ask Tim.
tim pool
No, I'm gonna go on with Super Chats.
jimmy corsetti
Oh, please do!
ian crossland
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
tim pool
So, uh, maybe we'll come back to that.
Sultry Cedar says, our cat Pearl has ear polyps causing her chronic bacterial and yeast infections.
She has to have surgery to remove them.
We started a GoFundMe for it.
It's Rescued Kitty Needs Ear Surgery.
Will you please give it a shout out?
My only request in the future is to use Give, Send, Go and not GoFundMe because GoFundMe is a bunch of woke garbage.
But, uh, I absolutely will shout it out because I hope the best for young kitty Pearl.
jimmy corsetti
That's awesome.
tim pool
We want to make sure Pearl makes it!
ian crossland
Good job.
tim pool
Amisong says, America is truly becoming a new Atlantis.
Our world-changing accomplishments have made us both proud and decadent.
We are due for a very hard fall.
ian crossland
Dude, I'm writing, I've got a screenplay that's like half written about the lost city of Atlantis, because in my screenplay, the idea is that they're hoarding information on the island and the flood wipes it all out and it's all lost, except some of them escape with agriculture, with some architecture, they flee to Turkey, you know, maybe I just spoiled the end, but at the end of the movie, you know, Well, Atlantis was the site of the space colony when Earth was being terraformed and colonized by the human travelers from far away.
tim pool
And they were like, this planet, Earth, third from the sun, looks like a good place to set up a colony.
And then they did.
And, uh, you know, it got washed away.
ian crossland
We should pull up the Richat structure and image, because we've been talking about it.
tim pool
Well, we're in Super Chat, so I'm going to show you.
ian crossland
There's a dig right next to it that looks so man-made.
I mean, everything about that place looks, like, historically man-made.
jimmy corsetti
The only thing more wild than the Richat structure itself is the fact that so few people have ever seen or heard of it before.
I encourage people right now to Google Eye of the Sahara under Google Images.
Look at it.
You'll see satellite images of it.
And tell me, ask yourself, why have I never seen or heard of this before?
ian crossland
And go to Google Maps.
You can scroll in and out to get a perspective on where it is and, like, how it played in the old history.
It's wild.
tim pool
Alright.
Polly Puree says Maine is said to be the safest state in the USA in the event of a nuclear attack, according to U.S.
government.
No military, no bomb storage, nothing there but lobsters, forest, and dog parks.
The lobster, dude.
I was just there last week.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
Shane Cashman went lobstering, wrote an article about it, and then they had just, like, this little bowl of fresh lobster And you just pick it up and eat it, and it tastes amazing.
I never would have thought, you know, who would have thought, uh, ocean spider.
Tastes so good.
ian crossland
They used to be called, considered pests, didn't they?
Like, disgusting and- Yeah.
serge du preez
Used to be the food of poor people, and there were so many of them, so you could just go find them off of the, you know, off the shore and go get a bunch and make good- It tastes so good!
tim pool
Yeah.
jimmy corsetti
You dip it in butter?
Oh, it's the best.
tim pool
Lobster roll?
Dude, the lobster rolls are so good.
I can't believe that there was a time where people were like, this is awful.
It's like chicken.
jimmy corsetti
I guess if you had it every day.
tim pool
No, dude, I eat chicken every day.
jimmy corsetti
I love it.
tim pool
I could eat lobster every day, no problem.
phil labonte
The lobster rolls with the butter when it's just the lobster meat and no mayonnaise and stuff, which is butter on a toasted bun is outstanding.
Fenway.
ian crossland
Awesome.
Do they know that we're talking about them like this?
The lobsters?
phil labonte
They're not as smart as the octopus.
tim pool
We want to eat you!
unidentified
It's just so delicious.
tim pool
There's aliens being like, oh, human, when it's perfectly aged, I love to consume them.
All right, where are we at?
phil labonte
What do we got?
tim pool
Matthew Leigh says, I bought dehydrated toilet paper sheets to add to our bug out bags.
That's smart.
So like super compressed, then you put a little water on it and it goes like expands.
Right on.
Lucas White says, the Lord is coming back for his church bride.
You can know you're going to heaven.
Praise the Lord for saving blood of his only son, Jesus Christ.
Get saved before the rapture.
ian crossland
Yeah, I love this idea.
One of the things I really like about the idea of Christ coming back or that the judgment is that the people that claim to be Christian or claim to be Jewish that don't believe in God or claim to be Muslim that don't believe in God, they're going to face like it's not like I don't want you to think that horror is coming on.
You just don't don't fake it.
phil labonte
This is the part you like?
ian crossland
Yeah, because it's like, I like retribution.
I'm a big fan of bad people getting their comeuppance.
tim pool
Yeah, you're always talking about pardoning Hillary Clinton.
phil labonte
He wants to pardon people in real life, but throwing them into eternal hellfire, man, that is perfectly fine.
ian crossland
You have no idea.
I agree.
tim pool
If Ian's position is that Hillary Clinton, for all of the awful things she's done, will be pardoned so we can move forward as people here on Earth, but she will burn for eternity, I'm like, okay, well, I get it now.
ian crossland
Yeah, I'm not here to judge your soul, but your actions, yeah, that's a different story.
Fascinating.
So many people that are faux-religion that say just because they went to church now they're a Christian, but they don't even fathom what like being is.
They think of it as like a thing out there when it's like, it's a feeling, you know?
So I look forward to that reckoning when people start to really truly believe in God.
tim pool
Everyone is basically saying that Hillary Clinton burning for eternity is a 20.
unidentified
Yeah Burning for eternity, you know, that's the thing though.
phil labonte
It's like, you know, God will God will judge, you know, look man I'm I'm all for forgiveness.
She doesn't have to burn for eternity.
serge du preez
She can just burn for like, you know, 90% of thousand All the emails one year for every email.
tim pool
I'm watching I'm watching that show the uncanny counter.
Have you guys heard of it?
It's a Korean show where basically Evil spirits can escape and then possess people and they commit murders and so people in the afterlife are tasked with empowering humans to go capture them and then like you know I'm watching it and it's kind of crazy this idea of eternal damnation where it's like you do one bad thing that crosses the line and then when you die you're in a burn.
unidentified
Forever.
tim pool
And I'm like, that's kind of messed up, you know what I mean?
unidentified
Yeah.
jimmy corsetti
It seems extreme.
phil labonte
Forever's a long time, man.
tim pool
Forever's a long time.
And so, the story right now, spoiler alert for those that are watching it, you've been warned, on Netflix, is that there's this good guy, he's a firefighter, and he saves one of the character's family members, and they're like, he's a hero, we love him.
But then his wife gets murdered, and he turns, he starts getting anger-filled and dark, he tries to get revenge, and then because of his blind rage and lust for vengeance, he gets possessed by an evil spirit, And becomes evil.
But he doesn't want to hurt... It's interesting because his arc is... I actually kind of agree with him to a certain extent.
He's a character who's like, there's a group of people who have defrauded the working class and killed people and causing all the suffering that have to be stopped.
But he's doing it in such a way where it's like torturous and evil.
He's like grabbing, hunting this criminal down, like breaking him out of jail, like breaking into jail, like kill him or whatever.
The good guys are trying to stop him.
And it's an interesting thought that A guy who dedicated his whole life to being good, has his wife murdered, and then the guys who are getting away with it, so he goes for revenge, and that condemns him to an eternity of damnation.
You know, it's kind of a brutal thing to think.
jimmy corsetti
It is, and you know what, here's something interesting, is that in the Bible, it never actually uses the word hell, it uses the word Gehenna, and Gehenna is the burn pit.
So, in the Mideast, where they don't have trash and sanitation systems, so like, I was in Iraq, as some of my following will know, And in these Middle Eastern countries, they have the burn pit on the outskirts, and anything that you can't burn inside your home to heat your food or warm the household, they burn, like plastic and other things.
And so another gentleman explained this to me.
He's like, what if hell, when it says, you know, you're gonna burn in the fires, he's like, you're just gonna be discarded.
And then it's like the fear of missing out thing where it's like, everyone else goes on and they do a reincarnation, the being born and born and born again, because I tell you what, if I could do this again, I'll do it.
There's some hard times, right?
But I'm like, life is, man, it's something, right?
And so, but everyone else, They're just discarded.
They have to sit and watch and do nothing, and they don't get this human interaction.
They don't get the feeling and all the other wonderful things that come with it.
tim pool
I got another, uh... It's not really a conspiracy theory.
It's one of these... It's funny when they call, like, Flat Earth a conspiracy theory, because it's like, just thinking the Earth is flat is not a conspiracy among criminals.
It's just a theory.
But, uh, there's an idea that there's a finite number of souls, and there are less souls than there are people right now.
And that's why you have so many NPC mindless people, because there's a billion souls for eight billion bodies.
ian crossland
I feel like, uh, like the devil, or like, I guess I would say Satan.
You know, Baal, they have all these demons from the Bible, from King David, they had this, talking about the demons, I think they were princes and dukes and kings that fought a war against another side, maybe it was Michael and the archangels were part of it, and there was a war, in the Bible there's a war, and then they lost, and the victors wrote the history book, which is the Old Testament, and they were like, where they lived, that's hell, that's burning fire, because they probably torched the entire land after they won the war, and they're like, you don't want to go to the old burn hell place.
There it's all, and they're all demons.
They demonized the losers.
That word actually exists, demonize.
And these, to these demon, so like, I just think it was a war.
tim pool
Let's, uh, let's read this.
Eve Welcome says, Jimmy, look into the Maunder and Dalton solar minimum, minimums, as well as the Minoan warm period.
Each grand solar maximum is followed by a grand solar minimum.
unidentified
Right.
jimmy corsetti
There's people out there saying that that's exactly what's going on.
There's people that are studying this.
There's a gentleman named Ben Davison that's gone down the rabbit hole of studying this for a long time.
And, you know, honestly, it's the sun cycle.
The warming of the sun.
Yeah.
And so, like, let me just say this.
So Donald Trump, back when he was president, he spoke about this.
It's only 30 seconds long.
And he says it is in the context of climate change.
And he said, oh, it's going to cool first.
Just wait till you see.
And a lot of people don't realize that we're still in the middle of an ice age.
And that there's interglacial periods within them.
And that the data shows two things.
One, that Earth is cold most of the time.
And also, that if you look at the graph, you could argue that, yeah, maybe we'll warm before it gets cold again.
But based on where we're at, versus historical times, it's gonna get cold again.
Because there's been, in the last 450,000 years that they're aware of, there's been five interglacial periods.
Which means times that the glaciers receded because it warmed up.
But that means that there's been five times where this place was covered in glaciers.
We should be grateful.
ian crossland
What's a good place to find data or evidence that we're still in the Ice Age?
Just off the top of your head.
Do you have a place that you can point to?
I know, I think Utah State University was talking about it.
We're at the end of, but because the comets wiped out so much of the ice 12,000 years ago, it looks like we're not really in one, but we're still in one just without the ice, which is very strange.
jimmy corsetti
That's a good question.
I got a million screenshots that I brought with me of different studies that show this stuff.
Like, so here's one example.
No, that's not the one I'm looking for.
I'd have to look.
ian crossland
I'll ask you after the show.
Maybe you can send it to me.
jimmy corsetti
Absolutely.
tim pool
I'll read this one from Alpha Wolf.
He says, Ian, the God energy is due to return.
Yes, it is.
Catholic saints and converts are on the rise.
Jean, is it Jean D'Arc?
Yeah, Jean D'Arc.
Deus Wolt, I believe.
Deus Wolt, yeah.
I, uh, Wolt.
unidentified
Oh.
tim pool
I honestly believe the Fourth Crusades are inevitable.
Yeah, the V and the W's are inverted.
ian crossland
What does that mean?
tim pool
God wills it.
ian crossland
God wills it.
That was the Crusaders would call that out, I believe.
jimmy corsetti
What a crazy thing.
tim pool
And that was the universe, right?
serge du preez
Yeah.
jimmy corsetti
God wills it, that's what it means.
tim pool
But so, like, the Crusaders and the Muslims were screaming the same thing.
jimmy corsetti
Right.
phil labonte
Allahu akbar.
serge du preez
God is great.
tim pool
That's the thing about Alu Akbar.
You see these videos where the warehouse explodes or whatever and they're all yelling that.
And people don't realize, they're just going, oh my god.
unidentified
Yeah.
Oh my god.
serge du preez
Right, right.
tim pool
So if you speak the language, you realize they're not literally praising God.
jimmy corsetti
Yeah, it's not a celebration.
serge du preez
Yeah.
tim pool
All right, where are we at?
My Brainerd says the Catholics don't believe we are living in the end times because theology isn't based on in colloquial speech and they don't listen to false prophets.
unidentified
Woo!
tim pool
Spicy.
Where's Seamus when you need him?
ian crossland
Seamus?
tim pool
He abandoned us.
I came back from Tijuana and he was just gone.
ian crossland
He was stressed out from the week of hosting the show, I guess.
phil labonte
He was offended by the spoon accusation.
He wanted to get away so he could get away with the spoons.
tim pool
I gotta tell you, the thing about Seamus is that he starts the jokes, and then goes, oh, well, I never liked the Irish thing.
He's the one making the jokes about being Irish, and like, he brought Lucky Charms in here to do a joke where he's wearing a leprechaun hat and eating Lucky Charms, and then when we go along with it, he's like, oh, well, how dare you?
phil labonte
He's so funny.
jimmy corsetti
What's a seven course Irish meal?
ian crossland
Beer.
jimmy corsetti
A six pack and a baked potato.
phil labonte
There you go.
jimmy corsetti
I'm Irish, I can say it, leave me alone.
tim pool
So the bit was, this is a true story.
I'm sitting in the living room, which is like, it's called the great room.
It's not really a living room.
It's like just where the kitchen and the mail room is, but there's a couch and a TV and a leprechaun was on.
And it's the one where the guy gets bitten by the leprechaun and starts turning Irish.
And so it's at the scene where the dude's in a restaurant and he orders a bunch of different kinds of potatoes and Seamus walks in.
He's like, what's going on, buddy?
What are you watching?
And then he looks at the TV and he goes, What is this racist crap?
Oh my god!
And then it's like because the guy's literally like growing mutton chops and he's like, I want french fries, mashed potatoes, a baked potato, waffle fries, curly fries.
And then he's got all these potatoes just eating them and Seamus is like, what is this?
phil labonte
I mean, look, the Irish are right.
Potatoes are great.
They're amazing.
tim pool
They're not even indigenous to Ireland.
serge du preez
No, not at all.
unidentified
Oh.
tim pool
Yeah, they were brought there.
serge du preez
The Columbian Exchange?
tim pool
Yeah, is that what it was?
jimmy corsetti
Yeah, there's tons of them down in South America.
It's like they have like 2,000 different species.
tim pool
You know what's awesome is yucca.
ian crossland
It is amazing.
tim pool
I remember the first time I had it, I was when I moved to New York and they've got all of these like Caribbean, Dominican restaurants or whatever.
And I went to this place and they had fried yucca.
And I'm like, what's that?
And they're like, we'll make you some.
And I'm like, is this like a French fry?
It's delicious.
ian crossland
Freaking so good.
Boil it, put it with eggs, man.
jimmy corsetti
Boil it and then deep fry.
ian crossland
Everything.
You know what I really- You can make it sweet?
tim pool
I gotta tell you.
I don't know if it's up your alley, but Mangu is one of the best breakfasts ever.
I've ever had it.
I've never heard of it, no.
It's boiled mashed plantains with pickled onions, fried salami, like thick cut fried salami, and fried cheese.
And that's all I had for breakfast for like two years straight living in Brooklyn.
unidentified
Wow.
jimmy corsetti
Dude, this is- It sounds delicious.
ian crossland
This is very similar to what I was just talking about, what I would eat, the yucca and eggs in Brooklyn when I would go to work when I was- me and Mines were setting up our office.
tim pool
Mangu, dude.
It's got a name for it.
What's that?
ian crossland
Mangu, Dominican traditional.
tim pool
There's like a name for it.
It's called the Three Hits or something in Spanish.
Bro, I love mangu.
It's so awesome.
Boiled mashed plantains.
ian crossland
Plantains are so good.
serge du preez
Yeah, I was gonna say plantains are probably my, like, the best thing from the Columbian Exchange.
Maybe bananas.

Merle Gray says, the greatest act of love God ever gave us was giving us the ability to choose.
Yes.
ian crossland
Yep.
tim pool
Paul Tascalo says, leaders must navigate the fear-love matrix.
Donald Trump is the ultimate leader.
He wants to be loved by his people, and his enemies naturally fear him because of his unpredictability.
Fearing a man that wants your love forces peace.
What do we got?
Ward Spo says, Phil gets a doctorate in astrophysics from Timcast University.
The real Dr. Phil.
phil labonte
I deserve no doctorates.
I just read a lot of stuff.
ian crossland
Would you accept an honorary doctorate?
phil labonte
I wouldn't.
No, because I don't in any way deserve that.
unidentified
Hold on.
tim pool
What about an honorary doctorate in rock?
phil labonte
Okay, there you go.
Dr. Rock Labonte.
Dr. Rock Labonte.
Rock doctor.
tim pool
I mean, but are there like music universities that give out the equivalent of that?
phil labonte
Um, I don't think so, but I imagine that it's possible.
I mean, if Harvard can give out honorary stuff, then, you know, then music universities could.
unidentified
We should make one.
That'd be cool.
tim pool
Yeah.
We should, actually, we were thinking, like, we should do some kind of awards.
phil labonte
You know that's not that's actually a really good idea to do uh get together with other either streams or other people in the conservative and and libertarian libertarian kind of area and and you know select people in this kind of like the streamies but like not for you know crackpots Dudes that think they're women?
tim pool
Maybe the thing is like a culture war themed thing where it's like there can be great works in anti-establishment work of art like Richmond North of Richmond, Side of Freedom, and this allows us to highlight, you know, how many movies came out this year that Had a good message we would probably like from a studio that was rejecting Hollywood.
I'd reason there's probably a lot, maybe even hundreds.
phil labonte
And you can, it might also inspire other people to try and do more.
jimmy corsetti
I'm just saying that I think this would be highly effective.
Like certain employers rarely do, uh, uh, few and far between would do like employee of the month, but there's something about that.
There are some people like that, that acknowledgement, that attaboy, so to speak, by doing something like that, you could, you could, Possibly cause a chain reaction of other people, because now more than ever people need to speak up, right?
People need to be encouraged and celebrated for saying what they believe to be true.
We need it now more than ever.
tim pool
I do, like the issue I take with it is though is like the award shows are just typically really lowbrow.
It's like we're all sitting here and an arbitrary group of people have decided this is the one thing everyone knows about that we're gonna say is better than everything else.
And then it's like, I can't believe that I was picked to be the person.
It's like, here's five movies.
This one was better than the rest.
So sayeth our wealthy panel.
Yeah.
phil labonte
And it's like the people that are making the decision are very rarely actually aware and connected to what they're making decisions about in the broader award area.
tim pool
So maybe there's some different way to approach a community-based, hey, check out these really awesome projects, and then a prize goes to somebody.
Maybe it's not an award, but, you know.
jimmy corsetti
Acknowledgement of some kind, you know?
It's a good idea.
phil labonte
That'd be cool.
tim pool
Yeah, we'll figure it out.
Noah Sanders says, Tim, space isn't an image here, it's DLC.
That's why we couldn't unlock the rocket for Space Travel before we did, because the DLC wasn't finished before then.
They're working on the Mars DLC now.
unidentified
Perfect.
tim pool
Yeah, and there's frequent updates too, you just don't realize it.
It's like whenever new technology gets released, it's actually just, you know, it's a, it's a, it's a, um... It's a patch.
Yeah, they just patched the game.
serge du preez
Just a new patch.
ian crossland
A new patch.
Would you guys pay Elon Musk $7.99 to get the Mars upgrade?
The Mars expansion?
unidentified
Yeah!
ian crossland
Are you saying that- You pay X and he unlocks Mars for you?
tim pool
I- I- With space travel.
With all the money.
I will say right now, if Elon Musk went on, you know, made a video and says, everyone, we want to build Starship and go to Mars, and if you'd like that to happen, then you can sign up to become a member for $7.99 per month, and that money will go directly to building Starship and building a Mars base.
I'd be like, I'll sign up twice.
jimmy corsetti
Absolutely!
phil labonte
Let me know- Let me know when you've unlocked the fast travel feature.
Yeah.
Because three years in a spaceship doesn't sound all that great, but when I can travel there, I just, you know, spawn points.
ian crossland
Magnetic slingshots.
