first message is last one typed. please start with previous messages and work upwards . your patience is appreciated. thank you. then the energy sector tells you what you want to hear but then theyre doing just the opposite. thats the new technique theyve been using on the public the last few years. they tell everybody theyre going green and want to invest in protecting the environment, then they do just the opposite.! these guys are insane. they want to see the united states go up in flames while they hide in bunkers in other nations. theyve got some kind of wierd plan going on. the us has bio weapon labs on every continent. along with a low orbit satellite network in outer space. musk is saying dont worry about global warming basically. its nothing. theyve got a really bad water shortage in germany. he goes over there and tries to start a car plant and he applies for fresh water rights and a lady reporter asks him about the water shortage and like a trully insane person he jumps out forcefully and says its ridiculous. do you see any water shortage around here? or something like that. then he does a little dance and laughs a sick little laugh. it was disgusting watching the totally insane behavior of elon musk. its on youtube recently last month. the town denied him the water rights. that dude is totally insane. i met him once back in 1995 in san jose infront of the arena. he got on the bus and walked up to me and said his name was elon musk. i could sense there was something wrong with him back then. i just watch what these guys do. they ve always acted going way back 50 years or more like the technology is way better than it is. and they come up with these grandiose delusions of grandeur plans to do things like hes going to conquer space. and were not even close to that. we may never do it. it will take centuries or eons before we'll even know. and all this space crap is just a moneymaking scam. and going back decades alot of those other psychopathic schemes failed and were doomed from the start. and the taxpayers got fleeced over and over and over again repeatedly. none the wiser on what was going on. they say the coronavirus came out of china. i wouldnt be surprised if it came out of americas bioweapon labs. its not like were not treated like sheep and livestock to be experimented on without our consent.
I do believe super dorks believe the universe is a code
its capitalism. its never going to work because for it to happen all the available resources have to be exploited for profits faster and faster. if the algae die in our oceans thats most of our oxygen supply. the air is filled with so much shit now were constantly coughing and sneezing. people are starting to die all over the world from the killer heat from global warming and severe droughts affecting all the areas all over the globe. and the psychopaths control the media. they dont want you to hear it so you have to go on youtube. musk thinks hes a genius. the dudes an idiot. you go on the internet and check out all the supposed IQs of the rich and famous. its a big lie. theyre saying alot of the actors and billionares especially have 160 IQs. no way. there was a recent study in 2019 that said psychopaths arent as smart as they think they are. i reason that they must convince themselves that they are though. they must tell themselves things like "we must be the smartest or else why would we have all the billions? and control armies and empires? and have congress kissing our feet? " and then they might start cackling uncontrollably while theyre having another psychotic fantasy. and theyre laughing at all their subjects because even though alot of them are insane they know they can pay alot of people to do alot of crimes. and they feel they must be the smartest because they control the pharmaceutical crime industry and all the insurance, and they can produce captain crunch potato chips and coca cola and force about half the world to getting diabetes or pre diabetes and make billions on a few cheap ingredients and cardboard packaging. and then double dip on the profits from the drugs people have to start taking. and everybody has to be stupid to the psychopaths because look how easily all the people fall into the trap.
In the beginning was the code and the code was with God and the code was God.
No doubt, Chuck Norris' Code of Silence.
There’s nothing I like to do more than to fall into event horizon with John Michael Godier
Simulation theory is too anthropomorphic and creates 'gods' again. Perhaps the reason we don't see anyone else 'out there' is the fact that we don't have the technology to detect them. Pretty much just like Star Trek. Once humans gain warp capability, they can then detect warp signatures throughout the galaxy. Finding life everywhere.
Was that a Smashing Pumpkins reference?
Lol I also fall asleep to event horizon as well. Didn’t realize it was a thing until now. It’s great content, don’t get me wrong, just the perfect balance of soothing sound and subject matter that allows you to drift into a dream. Thanks John!
this is my favorite topic on this show. or any show lol.
A very scary thing I think is that one of the smartest humans to ever live thought every second we didn’t nuke the Soviets was a huge mistake.
A great filter almost no one talks about is the idea that as civilization advances reproductive behaviors breakdown and the species never gets to a multi-planet stage cause the sex that focuses on reproduction stops serving it's function.
Well.. we are doooooomed.. 😆
I think that the solution to Fermi paradox is that any mature civilization has realized that if left unchecked, the scientists will eventually develop something that kills everyone, and have killed them off first in self defense. That's why we don't see technosignatures or spacefaring civilizations, because the way to survive the Great Filter is to turn your back on technology that enables such things in the first place.
In the light of recent events we should consider turning back the clock too, because our species managed just fine for the first 80 000 years or so without any technology. It gives you something to think about, doesn't it?
if it is a video game… it does explain some of the weird celebrities in the world… they are the Player characters,,, and we are NPCs…. does explain the weird question mark that appears over peoples heads….
I understand the simulation hypothesis, but from my point of view when looking at my broken gutter full of pigeon poo why on earth (or the universe) would a hyper intelligent species bother with such stuff?
This is a simulation but no type of computer or electronic simulation like you guys are hitting at or talking about. In fact God is a boltzmann brain but God isn't made out of atomic matter in fact God is the laws of nature in the quantum field and the particles are strings are whatever they are that create the particles and then the atoms and God is the energy that creates the space and the time and the data that tells all things what they are where they are how long they'll be there and where they're going to and what they're made out of. So the universe is a simulation of existence are physical universities as part of an infinite amount of different types of universes and other types of existences that God has to create experience and be just for the privilege and honor of being able to call himself or herself or itself God. And just for the necessity of it just because he she it or they is God which means since God knows everything because God created everything so God has to know it all that means God must have learned all these things sometimes somewhere somehow. Regard is only a singular being when God is unity and One Singular being no matter how large no matter how long that being lives can ever hope to learn an infant amount of things since there is only one of it. No matter how long it lives they're always be one more consistent Infinity we're talking about so they're always be one more thing to learn. No matter how big God is there always be something outside of where God is cuz this is infinity so the only solution to this is for God which is infinitely sized to split itself up into a infinite amount of finite units and each one of these is a part of the puzzle that creates all the existence and reality including you and me and every item and particle in this universe as well as all the natural laws that shape it and create it and the time in the space and everything you know of that exists physical non-physical abstract concrete all things we are part of and they're all part of God because God must know what they are so God can create them the only way to know what something is is to learn it to be it. Now some people might not understand that usually you can't create something for you learn how to do it or whatever but we're talking about eternity here where there is no beginning and no end so this creation that God is achieving is a circular creation that means god can actually create before God learns how to do it. It's just how in an eternity it's not just no ending in fact the part that's hard to wrap your mind around is the beginning part of Eternity cuz that's also part of it. And if you don't believe in God well you're wrong for not believing in God but you probably don't know what God really is because you probably have a picture of a bearded old man on the cloud somewhere listening to a bunch of gay dudes with Wings play harps. But that's not what God is. God is everything literally everything. Or at least the information that tells everything what it is and produces it. The quantum fields from where the particles come from that is God but so are the particles. And just so you know there has to be a situation like this first thing to exist at all because everything in existence is at the very most fundamental level of where it comes from what it is nothing but information or data. Kind of like a computer code like you guys would talking about but it's more of a reality code it's basically the code that tells something what to be which is just the first part of it because when you're plugged into the physical Universe you got to have coordinates about every single thing every part everything about you that you're participating in your trajectory your speed your duration your magnitude your frequency your temperature your shape or geometry your material Elemental or physical consistency or basically whatever it is you're made out of but even underneath all this there's just one thing that is very much fundamental thing of all and that is just your name are your purpose of what you are your nature. The data that says what you are is the most fundamental part of you that is you and that's eternal. And all this information is written in a language because that is all information is otherwise what would be the purpose of it being information if it wasn't something that mind that understood it used it to create reality. In other words all information are data is basically a type of language. If this wasn't the case then there would be no need for a mind capable of understanding that language. Is all reality has four Source data or information that means something must be able to read or understand what this is to decipher it which obviously reality does that's why everything is created so that means that language or information was transferred between two different entities or consciousnesses are the same one is two different parts of it either way this data was transferred from one to the other. And that is the very purpose of the language.. I've never ever seen a language or some type of date or something that was written or created or recorded or something that didn't have a conscious mind for its creator and for its disseminator are it's reader.. so for the universe to read these codes saying what you are let me that the Universe has to be conscious or at least have some kind of mind that could understand the language because as I said data information is nothing other than language and if you think about it really closely and clearly you'll see I'm absolutely right and this is the only thing that could be true Everything has some type of data associated with it everything that's why nothing is impossible to exist cuz even absolute nothingness would have to have that little bit of data saying what it was for it to exist otherwise it couldn't exist and since it's absolute nothingness that means it can't have that data with it cuz it's absolute messing this that means it can't exist so that means since nothingness didn't exist when it did exist it realize that it couldn't turn it into Infinity infinity is the same thing just have to polarity in fact nothing just a little bigger than infinity because it contains Infinity and it's the first thing there is even though there's no beginning or end in time
Another great one. Still, I don't see the evolutionary case for space colonization. On evolutionary timescales descendant species would be selected strongly towards those who focused on species longevity rather than energy harvesting. Space farers go off like fireworks – a brief flash and then gone, no matter how spectacular. Evolution plays the long game, and right now, those microbes that can survive inside a rock KMs under ground have us all beat.
Interesting topic. But I can't listen to this speaker. Is there a transcript available?
Thank you JMG!! When I see an event horizon notification I know that it will be a great day.
Great video !
I pretended to be Nick Bostrom for a piece of "work" at university. I just answered questions as if I was Nick. If only Nick could have seen the damage I was doing to his reputation!
Right off the bat the first few questions were so profound ! Amazing interview John !!
