2. Not just an acid warrior…here we have a true Special Forces Master of Psychadelics.

3. I'm really tired of everyone's rampant fascination with alien life. Listen, if aliens exist, even if God exists, it doesn't matter to us. We still have our lives to live, we still have to solve problems that relate to humans, we still have to go to work every day, we still have to plan for retirement, we still have to buy groceries, we would still have medical problems, life doesn't stop if some ominous force exists elsewhere. So people really need to stop speculating about things that don't matter because some people really get lost in this stuff and start thinking crazy things, when ultimately none of it matters. These topics are nothing more than escape mechanisms from reality, like video games.

4. This guy was pretending to be sensible until he said he was in line to have his brain frozen.

5. Maybe comets are sperm and we live on an egg..once we divide enough then boom..a God is born.

6. Frustrating to watch in much the same way as when Rogan interviewed Bostrom. The guy obviously cannot carry a conversation on the technical level Hanson is speaking at, so almost all interesting follow ups to what he is saying goes unexplored.

7. The new insular culture are the people that said no to the mRNA injections. We are the new elite. This was an excellent interview podcast, thank you 👍👁

8. We know there here and have been I’ve seen 4 in my life time being 67 the first one back in 1976 daylight morning gray saucer with reddish orange b
   Cockpit on top very cool eye opener

9. How can you create probabilistic filters for something that has occurred once? If we don't know of life on another planet how do you claim humans have developed early within Earths existence. Is it just me or is "grabby aliens" basically drakes equation? It seems like he contradicts himself on each topic and his positions are a combo of wild assumption and unchallenged extrapolation. Incredulously, some of his conclusions sound as if they are the antithesis of his analysis. The most overwhelming evidence that advanced civilizations exist is that we've never seen them!

10. Smart guy 👍🏾

11. The 'comparison' of an expected longevity of stars to planetary evolution does not contain a distribution of likelihood, it's a mere ratio, a point on a curve, hence no likelihood function to infer from.
    However, the quest goes about as if, but it's mere speculation, and island jumping towards unfounded guestimations

12. I've never seen this many ads on a YouTube video

13. Regarding simulation theory: it’s a big assumption that the simulation is being run by humans in the future.

14. I strongly believe that beings in this universe are universally held to an expectation that technology and spirituality need to evolve at the same rate. Technology should be sought for the betterment of mankind and not as a means of destruction. This will bring us in line with the universal expectation of our neighbors. I will admit it seems very simple and "new-agey" but this is the conclusion I came to after researching contact for what I would say was a "decent" amount of time lol.

15. I heard that these spheres are training from the military, to keep the boys on their toes, I also was told that the reason targets are targeted is to train a covert invisible standing army on call 24/7, domestically,,, working out of the fusion centers and the sheriffs offices,to keep down revolution or insurrection, I was also told the reason people are targeted by these new directed energy weapons is to train the military as it was stated, the military cannot enter into a theatre of war with untested weapons. So they went and targeted domestic citizens, and won't release it, I was told this is life long. I hate them wish them all dead, my life has been a nightmare. Many women including myself have been Eraped by my neighbor Mike Lane 25 Caroline Ave. apartment A,,using beam tech, the women are usually amenable because they stimulate the sexual center. memory is not lost as to what is done. This attitude come from Trump, pussy grabber when he stated "if you want her go and get her,,"of course much of this is sold on the deep state.

16. Wow, what an interesting perspective, I've never thought about it this way.. I'm astonished!

17. Good musical taste!

18. Stars don’t last trillions of years lol 😂 this guy is a fraud intellectual. How do ppl like this get a pass. His assumptions on simulation theory completely bypass 3 important questions. 1) who’s simulation? 2) Motivation for a simulation? 3) the individual purpose or reason for existence in the simulation. His timeframes and statements on stars and planets is so off base I think he’s bullshitting his resume and eduction.

19. Everytime I do ketamine and lsd together I always hallucinate that we are in a simulation. It's pretty vivid. Almost like we are in a fictional world, merely just a simulation of someone dream

20. Danny trying to talk to this intelligent guy about fake movies and trying to keep up with his child IQ is cringe

21. This cat sounded like L. Ron Hubbard. Are you finding these guests at the Scientology coffee clutch?

22. So much education just to avoid working for a living wow you gotta love these careers students and accomplish nothing in a lifetime except for opinions, theories, suggestions 🤔🤣😂

23. SNAP OUT OF IT …. This guy in mentally ill.

24. The things I heard come out of Mr Hanson's mouth in this episode in regards to aliens and ufos made more sense and probably put more possible puzzle pieces together for me than any information I have gathered from listening to anybody in the "ufo" community for the past 15 years. Amazing episode!

25. This guy checks out and seems legit.

26. Dumbass people who control

27. It’ll be bad for rich mfs
