- 0:09Speaker 1: Destroyed in troth.
- 0:14Speaker 2: I'm a chess.
- 0:30Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome to Conspiracy The Show. I'm your host,
- 0:35Speaker 1: Adam Todd Brown joining me this week and next week,
- 0:39Speaker 1: depending on when the episodes go up, as co host
- 0:42Speaker 1: Laura Crawford.
- 0:43Speaker 2: Hello, conspiracy enthusiasts, the pey enthusiasts.
- 0:48Speaker 3: The people have requested you.
- 0:50Speaker 2: Ah yeah, and I've come on demand much like Domino's
- 0:53Speaker 2: Pizza with the tracker, and.
- 0:54Speaker 3: I appreciate it.
- 0:55Speaker 1: It's not easy getting people to want to do a
- 0:58Speaker 1: conspiracy podcast.
- 0:59Speaker 2: These no, no, they'll post on four Chan, but they
- 1:02Speaker 2: won't come out.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't want to be honest about it, but
- 1:06Speaker 1: we're fucking honest about it.
- 1:07Speaker 2: I'm cruelly honest about it. And I am a deep
- 1:11Speaker 2: I'm deep state. I'm que on non. I'm not even
- 1:14Speaker 2: a non. I'm a you know, que, I'm cue, I'm cute,
- 1:17Speaker 2: queue out, I'm here, I'm qu Crawford, I'm Q identified
- 1:21Speaker 2: Q open. Uh.
- 1:23Speaker 3: We're talking about a doozy of a conspiracy today.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Oh this guy is it is? Because this is like
- 1:31Speaker 2: a it's a sticky situation. It's a bit of a
- 1:34Speaker 2: quick sand of a conspiracy theorist. Because once you get
- 1:36Speaker 2: into this, there's a dozen more right behind it.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Yeah, this is really kind of And I had never
- 1:43Speaker 1: i think, until you brought this up because we were
- 1:45Speaker 1: texting back and forth about what topic we should cover
- 1:49Speaker 1: and you texted me and said, our dinosaur's fake. And
- 1:52Speaker 1: I had never heard this shit before that moment. WHOA,
- 1:56Speaker 1: that's incredible, And uh.
- 1:59Speaker 3: Looked into it and oh boy, what a theory this is.
- 2:03Speaker 2: See Ah, it's a really broad same as a are
- 2:07Speaker 2: dinosaurs fake? But honestly it is something that's the timeline
- 2:13Speaker 2: on dinosaurs is not correct. Dinosaurs in total are fake.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Dinosaurs you know, never existed or the way that they
- 2:21Speaker 2: existed is fundamentally different from what science has led us
- 2:23Speaker 2: to believe. But this is a conspiracy theory that I
- 2:26Speaker 2: first became aware of when I was like late teens,
- 2:30Speaker 2: because my mom said that she was unsure about the
- 2:33Speaker 2: validity of dinosaurs because they're not mentioned in the Bible.
- 2:36Speaker 1: It's crazy if you just search around. I mean, there
- 2:41Speaker 1: are a lot of seemingly crazy people pushing this, But
- 2:44Speaker 1: then there's also like I found an article from some
- 2:47Speaker 1: woman who's a professor at Boston University who is just like,
- 2:51Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I think it's a conspiracy.
- 2:54Speaker 3: It's crazy, it is.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Nuts, and it's funny because I think more people are
- 2:57Speaker 2: probably aware of the idea of the young Earth or
- 3:00Speaker 2: thinking that possibly humans and dinosaurs existed at the same time.
- 3:04Speaker 2: I think that is the thing that people are more
- 3:06Speaker 2: aware of because of intelligence, design enthusiasts or the creation
- 3:14Speaker 2: museum in Kentucky.
- 3:16Speaker 3: I've never been, but probably, yes, I believe so.
- 3:18Speaker 2: So there is a creationist museum, and I believe it's
- 3:20Speaker 2: Kentucky where they do show humans and dinosaurs as contemporaries.
- 3:25Speaker 2: So I think more people are aware of that idea
- 3:27Speaker 2: than they are that the notion that dinosaurs in Toto.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Are fake dinosaurs at the table during World War One
- 3:35Speaker 1: making fucking plans.
- 3:36Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I want all of that.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Yeah, I love just a big war room with a
- 3:42Speaker 2: big globe and just like a Tyrannosaurus rex and a
- 3:46Speaker 2: laciraptor and idiomine or something.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:49Speaker 1: So, yeah, this is gonna be one of those episodes.
- 3:51Speaker 1: It happens sometimes we don't always believe the stuff that
- 3:55Speaker 1: comes up a thing. We have gotten multiple one star
- 3:58Speaker 1: reviews over on iTunes lately. In case anyone wants to
- 4:02Speaker 1: go out and throw us a bone and help rectify that.
- 4:05Speaker 1: But we have a Pizzagate episode in a Sandy Hook episode,
- 4:09Speaker 1: and in both of those we were like, this is bullshit.
- 4:12Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, like this you are stretching.
- 4:15Speaker 1: And boy, have the Sandy Hook and Pizzagate truthers come
- 4:19Speaker 1: out on the iTunes reviews not happy, And what they
- 4:25Speaker 1: say is that we don't take any of the things
- 4:28Speaker 1: we talk about seriously.
- 4:30Speaker 2: We don't give them a fair shot.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Yeah, which is very untrue. If you listen to this
- 4:35Speaker 1: podcast in its entirety, more often than not, I come
- 4:38Speaker 1: out the other end of these episodes kind of believing
- 4:41Speaker 1: the things that we talk about. It's just that I'm sorry,
- 4:45Speaker 1: I'm objective, and sometimes if I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced.
- 4:50Speaker 1: And Sandy Hook, isn't that fucking convincing Pizzagate. I'll buy
- 4:54Speaker 1: that there's a global sex trafficking ring. I don't buy
- 4:57Speaker 1: that it's happening in a pizza place in Washington, DC though.
- 5:00Speaker 2: That is pretty important distinction. And the thing really is
- 5:05Speaker 2: And on the whole case with Sandy Hook, they just
- 5:08Speaker 2: had to uh, they just lost a lawsuit about it.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, yes, it's don't get me started. But if
- 5:14Speaker 1: you want to go out and give us some good
- 5:17Speaker 1: reviews on iTunes, we'd appreciate it.
- 5:19Speaker 3: Bring that total back up.
- 5:21Speaker 4: Uh.
- 5:21Speaker 1: But also, if you think dinosaurs are fake, this ain't
- 5:24Speaker 1: the episode for you.
- 5:25Speaker 2: I mean, you might be interested to hear what I mean.
- 5:28Speaker 2: I'm sure you understand what people think of your opinion
- 5:31Speaker 2: that dinosaurs are fake or that the fossil record was faked.
- 5:34Speaker 2: I'm sure you're aware of what people generally think of that.
- 5:37Speaker 2: And this is not gonna I mean, spoiler alert, spoiler alert.
- 5:41Speaker 2: I don't think we're going to come out of this
- 5:42Speaker 2: saying that dinosaurs are fake, right.
- 5:45Speaker 3: And I would if there was compelling evidence.
- 5:48Speaker 2: But honestly, the thing that we'll get into it in
- 5:52Speaker 2: a minute, but I did find some points about the
- 5:55Speaker 2: accuracy or the trustworthiness of paling tall just in scientists
- 6:00Speaker 2: in the nineteenth century. If we want to talk about
- 6:03Speaker 2: how that's probably not all on the on the record,
- 6:05Speaker 2: you know, or all.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Yeah, I would even buy I'll go there and we'll
- 6:09Speaker 1: talk about it more. I would buy that if their
- 6:11Speaker 1: one example wasn't just this person was the best. Okay,
- 6:15Speaker 1: well show me who the one who was faking it
- 6:17Speaker 1: was If there's all these examples you can't use, but
- 6:21Speaker 1: this one person was better at it than everyone else.
- 6:23Speaker 1: One person's better at everything than someone else.
- 6:26Speaker 2: Or more published on the topic, Yeah, everybody else. Yeah,
- 6:29Speaker 2: there's gotta be someone who's the most right. Yes, I
- 6:33Speaker 2: am willing to agree with you that we should not
- 6:36Speaker 2: take all science from the nineteenth century at face value
- 6:40Speaker 2: or not with a grain of salt, or possibly not
- 6:43Speaker 2: examine the work of fossils palonthologists and their examination of fossils.
- 6:48Speaker 2: We can get into that, Yeah, certainly. But are we
- 6:51Speaker 2: gonna broad bassed a Timestaers fake?
- 6:53Speaker 3: Probably not, No, I don't think so.
- 6:56Speaker 1: So. Most of the information in this episode comes from
- 7:00Speaker 1: a real doozy of an article called the Dark Art
- 7:04Speaker 1: of Deception Why Dinosaurs are a Hoax by Jeremy James
- 7:10Speaker 1: on the website Zephaniah dot Eu. I hope that's not
- 7:14Speaker 1: like a fucking racial slur in Europe. I have no
- 7:17Speaker 1: idea what that is.
- 7:18Speaker 2: It sounds like an obscure king from the Bible. Yeah,
- 7:21Speaker 2: and Iah begot unto his wife by.
- 7:23Speaker 3: Shutdow sounds it's probably something.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Like he was hoisted onto his own Petard for astrology, and.
- 7:34Speaker 3: This article right out of the gate, it's trash.
- 7:38Speaker 1: The first thing it asserts is, hey, look, the ancient Romans,
- 7:43Speaker 1: they did a lot of excavating, a lot of building.
- 7:46Speaker 1: How come they nor any other ancient civilization ever found
- 7:50Speaker 1: a dinosaur?
- 7:51Speaker 3: And then they just move on. Yeah, as if c
- 7:55Speaker 3: point number one.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Yeah, the ancient Oh no, they say, the Native Americans
- 7:59Speaker 2: have no nothing in their mythology about dinosaurs, no other
- 8:04Speaker 2: The ancient Sumerians didn't talk about dinosaurs, the ancient Babylonians
- 8:08Speaker 2: didn't talk about dinosaurs.
- 8:10Speaker 3: And here's the thing they all did. They just didn't
- 8:14Speaker 3: know what the fuck they were talking about.
- 8:15Speaker 2: There's yes, we were talking about this when I got here,
- 8:18Speaker 2: which is I'm like, can you name me a culture
- 8:21Speaker 2: that doesn't have some form of dragon yeah in their mythology,
- 8:25Speaker 2: or some sort of serpent god, or some sort of
- 8:28Speaker 2: lizard like form. There are all over snake cults and
- 8:33Speaker 2: reptilian kind of forms. That's why David Ike believes in reptilians.
- 8:37Speaker 2: It's funny that one conspiracy theory disproves the whole basis
- 8:41Speaker 2: of another conspiracy. Yeah, it's like, if you believe in
- 8:46Speaker 2: the reptilian conspiracy theory, then you have to believe that
- 8:49Speaker 2: these people did have ancient evidence or not evidence. There
- 8:54Speaker 2: were plenty of people who had theories about a time
- 8:56Speaker 2: on Earth when reptilian forms were large, sure, or more massive,
- 9:02Speaker 2: or more in control of the planet. That definitely exists.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Yeah, and by this argument, well, ancient Romans never mentioned dinosaurs,
- 9:11Speaker 1: so they can't be real. By that argument, dragons kind
- 9:14Speaker 1: of have to be real. Exactly, it's dragons because dragons
- 9:16Speaker 1: have been mentioned, So does that mean those are real?
- 9:18Speaker 1: Like what were they seeing? What were they talking about?
- 9:21Speaker 1: Probably dinosaurs, yeah yeah, or.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Like the snake head gods and all that stuff, they're yeah,
- 9:26Speaker 2: they're dinus, Probably dinosaurs, yeah yeah. And not to say
- 9:30Speaker 2: that we even have to take that as any kind
- 9:31Speaker 2: of evidence of anything, because it's it's art and mythology.
- 9:34Speaker 2: But I yeah, even like the ancient Chinese, there are
- 9:37Speaker 2: original gods where like a brother and sister who had
- 9:39Speaker 2: like serpentiales and stuff. So just like from it from
- 9:43Speaker 2: the perspective of you know, mythology, archaeology, anthropology.
- 9:48Speaker 3: Yeah, you're wrong, you're wrong.
- 9:50Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Plenty of societies have found bones that they were didn't
- 9:54Speaker 2: understand where they came from. And well also a lot
- 9:57Speaker 2: of people didn't even preserve animal bones the way we
- 10:00Speaker 2: with now, or bones that they found that was not
- 10:02Speaker 2: a real common thing unless it was a saint or
- 10:04Speaker 2: something where a person of record.
- 10:06Speaker 1: And what were we expecting the ancient Romans do to
- 10:09Speaker 1: do when they found this bone? Yeah, like look at
- 10:12Speaker 1: it and go, it's a dinosaur.
- 10:14Speaker 3: We didn't fucking know what dinosaurs were.
- 10:16Speaker 2: No, It's also we were all just and we're.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Still just guessing. Yeah, in a lot of cases when
- 10:21Speaker 1: it comes to dinosaurs.
- 10:22Speaker 2: It's also like, well, why didn't they put these skeletons
- 10:25Speaker 2: together and do all this stuff. It's like they didn't
- 10:27Speaker 2: even do surgery case, and it's like the amount of
- 10:31Speaker 2: science that anyone was doing was very bad. They could
- 10:34Speaker 2: even like for thousands of years, people couldn't figure out,
- 10:37Speaker 2: don't shit where you drink water from? You think they
- 10:40Speaker 2: could have put people still skeletons together, right, Yeah, it's true,
- 10:44Speaker 2: or don't drink water from where you put your dead
- 10:45Speaker 2: people or whatever it is. You know. So it's I
- 10:48Speaker 2: think it's giving them both too much and too little
- 10:50Speaker 2: credit to say that they had no idea about dinosaurs
- 10:53Speaker 2: and well, why weren't they Why didn't they have the
- 10:55Speaker 2: Natural History Museum and natured No, huh, it's like they
- 10:58Speaker 2: didn't have pants, dude. Yeah, they didn't figure out that
- 11:01Speaker 2: warm genitals are a better way to go about things,
- 11:03Speaker 2: much less have a natural history museum.
- 11:05Speaker 1: Yeah, they were advanced for their time, right, But if
- 11:08Speaker 1: we just stumbled upon an ancient Roman civilization right now,
- 11:11Speaker 1: we'd be like, holy shit, you don't have the Internet
- 11:14Speaker 1: or anything.
- 11:14Speaker 3: Yeah, this is gross.
- 11:16Speaker 2: It's also kind of bizarre to fault civilizations for not
- 11:20Speaker 2: having certain kinds of science that they would have no
- 11:23Speaker 2: idea about. It would be like going back to the
- 11:25Speaker 2: eighteen forties and be like, you guys don't know about
- 11:27Speaker 2: atoms and radiology, jerk offs.
- 11:30Speaker 3: Fucking idiots.
- 11:32Speaker 2: Yeah, you could show them a nuclear reactor, and you know,
- 11:35Speaker 2: just because they don't know what that is doesn't mean
- 11:36Speaker 2: they're completely stupid. It's like the Romans and ancient Greeks
- 11:39Speaker 2: and ancient Chinese and all these cultures, they were very
- 11:42Speaker 2: advanced in certain sciences like engineering or hydraulics and stuff,
- 11:45Speaker 2: but yeah, you know, a lot of other sciences not
- 11:48Speaker 2: so good.
- 11:49Speaker 1: I'm going to stop you right there. Nuclear energy also fake.
- 11:53Speaker 1: Oh yes, don't forget that. Okay, So this way we
- 11:55Speaker 1: really build up to a lot of things being debunked
- 11:59Speaker 1: in this That.
- 12:00Speaker 2: Was the one that I messaged you about, because in
- 12:03Speaker 2: this guy's art, we'll probably get into more of it.
- 12:04Speaker 2: But there's a number of assertion settimangs, and one of
- 12:07Speaker 2: them is atomic bombs are fake.
- 12:09Speaker 3: Yeah, we didn't drop any atomic bombs on Japan.
- 12:14Speaker 2: Oh, and we fire bombed them, just like with all
- 12:16Speaker 2: those other cities, you know, those kids with those big
- 12:18Speaker 2: faker radiation burns.
- 12:20Speaker 1: I think he's confusing the fact that we could have
- 12:23Speaker 1: just firebombed those two cities instead of dropping a nuclear
- 12:26Speaker 1: bomb on them, and the war would have ended the
- 12:29Speaker 1: same way.
- 12:30Speaker 3: But we did drop those bombs.
- 12:32Speaker 2: Yeah, there was kind of a nuclear arms race. Oh
- 12:35Speaker 2: those faker isn't that nuclear arms race?
- 12:37Speaker 3: That's the whole thing.
- 12:39Speaker 1: At every point, this theory, it at some point always
- 12:44Speaker 1: ends up leaning on the idea of oh that's fake.
- 12:46Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 12:47Speaker 2: It largely leans on the idea that humanity is not
- 12:52Speaker 2: nearly as great as we're giving it credit for it.
- 12:54Speaker 2: That seems to be a big thing is to scale
- 12:56Speaker 2: back all of human accomplishments as fake. Right, That's what
- 13:00Speaker 2: it comes up, is like everything that humans have done
- 13:03Speaker 2: in terms of giant leaps forward in science, this guy's like, Nope,
- 13:06Speaker 2: we didn't do.
- 13:07Speaker 3: It, none of it. Nerds, yeah, not even the Earth
- 13:10Speaker 3: spinning not real.
- 13:12Speaker 2: Right, So this guy basically says that dinosaurs are fake
- 13:15Speaker 2: because the nature of the universe as he understands it
- 13:18Speaker 2: is the Earth is flat, static, right at the center
- 13:23Speaker 2: of the universe, of course, much closer to both the
- 13:28Speaker 2: Sun and the Moon that we've been led.
- 13:29Speaker 3: To believe, which are both much smaller, which are.
- 13:32Speaker 2: Both much smaller, and flat discs flat discs, flat disks, right,
- 13:37Speaker 2: and there's no outer space, is no outer space. He
- 13:44Speaker 2: doesn't say birds aren't real, but he's like, right on
- 13:46Speaker 2: the cusp, He's like, if I only had six hundred
- 13:48Speaker 2: more words, we could talk about birds are fake. But yes,
- 13:51Speaker 2: so those are all true. The timeline as presented in
- 13:55Speaker 2: the Bible is literally true yet six day week of
- 13:59Speaker 2: creat seventh day of rest, six thousand year old Earth.
- 14:04Speaker 2: And basically his whole idea is that this whole notion
- 14:09Speaker 2: of dinosaurs existing is part of his larger plot to
- 14:12Speaker 2: make human beings believe that we are at the edges
- 14:15Speaker 2: of a galaxy with no meaning and no purpose, and
- 14:18Speaker 2: we're just a spec and we don't matter and there's
- 14:21Speaker 2: no God. Right, essentially saying, if you believe in science
- 14:25Speaker 2: of the last two thousand years, you're an atheist.
- 14:29Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, if you believe science at all, which I've
- 14:32Speaker 1: talked about that on this podcast. We did an episode
- 14:36Speaker 1: called what if Satan is just a metaphor for science? Sure?
- 14:41Speaker 1: And I do think that to some degree, because there
- 14:44Speaker 1: are elements of science that are in direct opposition to
- 14:48Speaker 1: organized religion. And it's possible that a lot of the
- 14:54Speaker 1: rhetoric around the idea of Satan happened as a response
- 14:58Speaker 1: to scientific development. But at the same time, that doesn't
- 15:04Speaker 1: mean science isn't real for that. Yeah, oh, I it
- 15:10Speaker 1: these are things that have happened that people can prove,
- 15:14Speaker 1: like this isn't science, isn't faith.
- 15:17Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it comes back to this misunderstanding standing of
- 15:21Speaker 2: the word theory. It's like gravity is a theory. Actually, yeah,
- 15:24Speaker 2: there's the theory of gravity in the theory of relativity, right,
- 15:28Speaker 2: and this kuy disproves us and I think people just
- 15:30Speaker 2: need to come to an understanding what the word theory
- 15:32Speaker 2: actually means and how it means in science, which is
- 15:36Speaker 2: the thing that is pretty reasonably provable, right, and it's
- 15:39Speaker 2: not like just some oh, I have a theory about
- 15:42Speaker 2: how if you have extra DVD cases then you won't
- 15:44Speaker 2: lose them. It's very David, but you understand, no, the
- 15:49Speaker 2: point holds true. So it's but it is it's kind
- 15:52Speaker 2: of sad to me to imagine the universe in which
- 15:54Speaker 2: this guy pictures himself, which is that we are these feckless,
- 15:59Speaker 2: stupid and beings that are such a the mercy of
- 16:02Speaker 2: God and then anything we've tried to learn or do
- 16:05Speaker 2: is just bullshit. And it was like, that's a very
- 16:07Speaker 2: sad opinion to form about human beings, that they are
- 16:10Speaker 2: just untalented liars.
- 16:14Speaker 1: And the thing about this idea that because again very
- 16:19Speaker 1: much a conspiracy theory guy, but this idea that there
- 16:22Speaker 1: has been this centuries long war to discredit the Bible,
- 16:30Speaker 1: and that that war is what's driving everything in the world.
- 16:35Speaker 1: That's some fucking arrogant bullshit, like there are the Bible
- 16:40Speaker 1: isn't the only fucking religious text in the world, So
- 16:44Speaker 1: discrediting the Bible is gonna get you like a third
- 16:47Speaker 1: of the way there and then you still got to
- 16:49Speaker 1: go through the Koran and the Torah and whatever any
- 16:53Speaker 1: other fucking natus religion is fucking with. You gotta take
- 16:58Speaker 1: all that shit down to And this theory is this,
- 17:02Speaker 1: it feels like some almost like white power type of shit.
- 17:07Speaker 2: It's a bit racist.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Well no, it's like, well, white people are the center
- 17:11Speaker 1: of existence and everything else that's happening is fake if
- 17:16Speaker 1: it's not white people in the Bible.
- 17:18Speaker 2: Right, And it is decidedly anti Catholic as well. He
- 17:21Speaker 2: gets into that because that's a big aspect of a
- 17:24Speaker 2: lot of people who were anti Mason or believe in
- 17:27Speaker 2: a lot of conspiracies about you know, like ancient Babylonian
- 17:31Speaker 2: power families and structures and all that ship with the
- 17:33Speaker 2: roth Childs, and you know they think that, yeah, it's
- 17:36Speaker 2: a Masonic plot to undermine the Bible, and all these
- 17:39Speaker 2: people were Anglicans. And then they'll also get into in
- 17:43Speaker 2: that article in particular, the guy rails against the Jesuits,
- 17:45Speaker 2: is there, right, yes, yeah, yeah, so the Jesuits are
- 17:48Speaker 2: at fault, the Pope's at fault. Yeah, the Roman Catholic
- 17:51Speaker 2: Church is a great horror Babylon So it's it's anti
- 17:55Speaker 2: I know. So it's anti Catholic, which is also I
- 17:57Speaker 2: mean KKK was very anti Catholic as well, right, anti immigrant.
- 18:02Speaker 3: And this isn't to defend the Catholic Church, no.
- 18:06Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying in any way, but yeah, it's
- 18:08Speaker 2: interesting that the branch of Christianity that more likely encompasses
- 18:12Speaker 2: people of Hispanic descent is the one that they don't
- 18:15Speaker 2: like that funny, yeah, weird or people of like Latin
- 18:19Speaker 2: origins basically Italians, people from South America, Mexico, Latin America.
- 18:25Speaker 2: Uh yeah, Southern Europe huh. Funny have you the Great Satan?
- 18:29Speaker 3: Have you been watching? There's a documentary on Netflix called
- 18:32Speaker 3: The Family.
- 18:33Speaker 2: I've heard of The Family and I read the book.
- 18:37Speaker 2: It came out a while ago about dude runs the
- 18:38Speaker 2: National Prayer Breakfast. Yeah, yes, so yeah, the KKK is
- 18:42Speaker 2: widely tied to anti Catholic shit. This guy's intel, the
- 18:45Speaker 2: anti Catholic stuff, anti Masonic. They seem to be just
- 18:47Speaker 2: anti higher Ed in general, right, yeah, sure, you mean
- 18:51Speaker 2: the guy that particular, but in the family, yeah.
- 18:55Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Also, and it it's this kind of I mentioned this
- 19:00Speaker 1: when we talked about flat earthers.
- 19:03Speaker 3: It's not so much.
- 19:05Speaker 1: I mean, they're obviously they're pushing an agenda that the
- 19:08Speaker 1: Earth is flat, but that's obviously not anyone's endgame there, Like,
- 19:13Speaker 1: it's not gonna end with people going all right, you're right,
- 19:17Speaker 1: fierce flat. Now what do you want and them going nothing,
- 19:20Speaker 1: that's all. We just wanted you to admit the Earth
- 19:23Speaker 1: is flat. It's a general undermining of the idea of
- 19:27Speaker 1: science in general, and trusting science or believing science, and
- 19:33Speaker 1: flat Earth shit is just one part of it, as
- 19:36Speaker 1: is dinosaurs are real, and we see in this article
- 19:41Speaker 1: that those two things converge at one point and it
- 19:44Speaker 1: becomes flat earthers and dinosaurs, and also nuclear weapons aren't real.
- 19:48Speaker 1: And then by the end it's just fuck science. It's
- 19:52Speaker 1: all fake exactly.
- 19:53Speaker 2: And it's interesting because often in conspiracy theories, there's this
- 19:57Speaker 2: theory that this conspiracy exists to extract wealth from people
- 20:01Speaker 2: without their knowledge, or to extract, you know, allegiance. People
- 20:07Speaker 2: want to like, we want people to believe us and
- 20:10Speaker 2: bow down to us and give us all their money.
- 20:12Speaker 2: Usually that is the thing. But we want to poison
- 20:14Speaker 2: people so they stay sick so we can take their money.
- 20:16Speaker 2: We want people to believe in this power structure so
- 20:19Speaker 2: that we can take their money. Usually it's based upon wealth, greed,
- 20:23Speaker 2: power seeking, and blah blah blah. In this case, it's
- 20:26Speaker 2: people saying that I don't know what they imagine you
- 20:30Speaker 2: would gain financially from thinking. They're like, well, they've made
- 20:33Speaker 2: millions of dollars off of dinosaurs. It's been a booming
- 20:37Speaker 2: industry for museums. Yeah, and it's like, really, if you
- 20:40Speaker 2: wanted to extract wealth from people, that's the thing you
- 20:43Speaker 2: would go with to get money out of them.
- 20:45Speaker 1: Yeah, now we can make all these movies and it's like, no,
- 20:49Speaker 1: like ten of us get to make movies.
- 20:51Speaker 3: That's not This isn't if anything.
- 20:54Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of organized religions are just
- 20:57Speaker 1: kind of a really loose from for money making opera.
- 21:02Speaker 2: There are way like exponentially more people making exponentially more
- 21:07Speaker 2: money off of religion than there are people making money.
- 21:10Speaker 3: Off of dinosaurs, so much more money.
- 21:12Speaker 1: I know.
- 21:13Speaker 2: They're like ross on friends, that's a fucking conspiracy. They
- 21:16Speaker 2: made them a paleontologist to make it acceptable to people,
- 21:18Speaker 2: and they made them you know, they made them debta male,
- 21:21Speaker 2: So you don't realize how nefarious he is and how manipulative.
- 21:25Speaker 2: You know, It's just it's not that far. It's doesn't
- 21:28Speaker 2: affect that many people that are like profiting from this conspiracy.
- 21:33Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean.
- 21:34Speaker 2: So it's almost like, well, I don't believe because it's
- 21:36Speaker 2: too small scale in a sense. Right, it's like too
- 21:39Speaker 2: large and also too small. But I think the thing
- 21:41Speaker 2: I was gonna say is it's funny that people would
- 21:43Speaker 2: be angry at a conspiracy that involved like bankers, let's say,
- 21:47Speaker 2: or politicians, because those are fields that you often have
- 21:51Speaker 2: to be wealthy to get into or be well connected,
- 21:54Speaker 2: so those are very exclusive clubs. But when it comes
- 21:58Speaker 2: to dinosaurs and stuff, anyone on Earth can become a paleontologist.
- 22:02Speaker 2: So they study enough and if you go to school
- 22:05Speaker 2: and if you learn enough, it's not like it's an
- 22:07Speaker 2: exclusive field of people where you know, only if you're
- 22:10Speaker 2: from the right families are you allowed to be a
- 22:12Speaker 2: paleontologist or volunteer at a museum. It's not exclusive. Like
- 22:16Speaker 2: the whole thing about science to me is it's very
- 22:18Speaker 2: egalitarian and that anyone can be a scientist if they
- 22:22Speaker 2: seek out knowledge and they test it.
- 22:24Speaker 3: Right.
- 22:24Speaker 2: You've seen that countless times where people will start off
- 22:27Speaker 2: as peasants in life and become famous scientists. So it's
- 22:29Speaker 2: bizarre to me and that they're like science is so exclusive,
- 22:32Speaker 2: they're up in their ivory towers. It's like, right, no,
- 22:36Speaker 2: that's the complete opposite. It's not exclusive. It's not like
- 22:39Speaker 2: being a member of the royal family or being a banker.
- 22:42Speaker 1: I feel like you could break into paleontology with a
- 22:46Speaker 1: shovel and a little luck on Google Earth, right, Like, yeah, the.
- 22:51Speaker 2: Lady who Mary what's her face? Who is you know
- 22:54Speaker 2: she sells she sells seashells by the seashore. The lady
- 22:58Speaker 2: Mary whatever her last name is, who is one of
- 22:59Speaker 2: the first women who was finding all these fossils and
- 23:03Speaker 2: stuff in the coast of England. Like, yeah, she was
- 23:05Speaker 2: a regular person. There have been plenty of regular people
- 23:07Speaker 2: who have gotten into the sciences and become a big deal.
- 23:10Speaker 2: But it's hilarious to me that these people imagine that
- 23:12Speaker 2: the sciences are so yeah, they're so prejudice and they're
- 23:16Speaker 2: so exclusive, and they're so you know, they kick out
- 23:20Speaker 2: people who don't agree with them all the time, and no,
- 23:23Speaker 2: they kick out people who don't use good science.
- 23:26Speaker 1: I feel like if we trace this back far enough
- 23:30Speaker 1: as far as where this anti science bent in a
- 23:34Speaker 1: lot of organized religions comes from. I feel like at
- 23:37Speaker 1: one point, religion just sort of wanted to corner the
- 23:41Speaker 1: market on miracles.
- 23:43Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and they.
- 23:44Speaker 1: Wanted to be the ones to go see that cool
- 23:47Speaker 1: thing that just happened God. And then here comes science going,
- 23:51Speaker 1: we can make some cool shit happen too, if we
- 23:53Speaker 1: just study what's happening around us the universe. Yeah, makes magic, baby,
- 24:00Speaker 1: And I feel like that's where a lot of this
- 24:02Speaker 1: comes from, and it's just kind of carried on for
- 24:06Speaker 1: a long time. I feel like it's the reverse. I
- 24:09Speaker 1: don't think there is a Freemason war on the Bible.
- 24:13Speaker 3: I think there is. I think the Bible is waging
- 24:17Speaker 3: war on science and has been for a long fucking time.
- 24:20Speaker 2: It has, and it's just it's kind of sad to
- 24:23Speaker 2: imagine a world where one book that was created X
- 24:28Speaker 2: number of years long ago, centuries is the book that
- 24:31Speaker 2: has all the information you'll ever need in it?
- 24:33Speaker 1: Right?
- 24:34Speaker 2: What are the chances of that?
- 24:35Speaker 3: And that's that's an important distinction here, because.
- 24:39Speaker 2: They really do. But that's what it comes down to
- 24:40Speaker 2: is that they really are saying that the Bible is
- 24:43Speaker 2: the source of all knowledge right you could ever watch
- 24:45Speaker 2: and could ever need.
- 24:46Speaker 1: And that's that's I think the distinction here, because we're
- 24:50Speaker 1: talking a lot about organized religion and Christianity. There's a
- 24:55Speaker 1: difference between a Christian and a fundamentalist Christian, right, and
- 24:59Speaker 1: a lot of people don't realize conservative like evangelicals prior
- 25:04Speaker 1: to World War Two were called fundamentalist Christians and they
- 25:08Speaker 1: eventually realized that's a term the world doesn't like.
- 25:11Speaker 3: We better change it, and that's all they did.
- 25:14Speaker 1: But they are still fundamentalist Christians who do believe, Yeah,
- 25:19Speaker 1: the Bible is literal, guys, like, it's like what happened
- 25:22Speaker 1: in the Bible happened. It's not just a roadmap for
- 25:26Speaker 1: maybe how to live your life without being a dickhead
- 25:29Speaker 1: to other people.
- 25:31Speaker 3: These people believe every like that it's.
- 25:34Speaker 2: A science textbook, a history textbook, that it's a guide
- 25:37Speaker 2: to living, that it's everything right that it could be,
- 25:41Speaker 2: it's every source of knowledge that you could ever want
- 25:43Speaker 2: or could ever need. And yeah, and with.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Every religion, at least with the Big Three, that's where
- 25:51Speaker 1: the problems are is that small portion that is really
- 25:56Speaker 1: fundamentalist and basically zelots over what is in these texts
- 26:02Speaker 1: that were written untold numbers of years ago in a
- 26:06Speaker 1: world that has kept evolving and developing and changing. And
- 26:11Speaker 1: I feel like a large part of religious people in
- 26:15Speaker 1: the world get that, yeah, and they understand that their
- 26:18Speaker 1: texts are kind of a guideline for how to live
- 26:23Speaker 1: your life. And then there's these motherfuckers who are like
- 26:25Speaker 1: dinosaurs are fake.
- 26:27Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting because the world and.
- 26:29Speaker 1: It seems wacky, but these are the motherfuckers that bomb
- 26:31Speaker 1: abortion clinics and shit like that.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Totally true, and it's just a very different take on
- 26:37Speaker 2: the universe, which is in their take on the universe,
- 26:40Speaker 2: the world does not get more complex. That is really
- 26:43Speaker 2: what it comes down to is that you think that
- 26:45Speaker 2: the world was created in this very simple manner by
- 26:50Speaker 2: God directly. So there's one agent acting, which is God,
- 26:53Speaker 2: and there's one creation, which is the earth, and that's
- 26:55Speaker 2: in the center of everything, and so it's everything getting
- 26:58Speaker 2: pared down to be more and more simple. So you
- 27:00Speaker 2: only need one book, and the book only has one interpretation,
- 27:04Speaker 2: and there's only one major player, which is God, and
- 27:06Speaker 2: there's only one major focus, which is Us. So it's
- 27:10Speaker 2: just everything is more and more simple. So you don't
- 27:12Speaker 2: need to read other books, and you don't need to
- 27:14Speaker 2: do good deeds to be a Christian. You just need
- 27:16Speaker 2: to believe in Jesus. So all you need is faith.
- 27:18Speaker 2: All you need is one book. All you need is
- 27:20Speaker 2: one interpretation of that book. But everything we know about
- 27:22Speaker 2: the universe in terms of science or most people are
- 27:25Speaker 2: irrational sort of says, well, the world gets more complex, right, Yeah,
- 27:30Speaker 2: the universe expands, it gets more complex. We started as
- 27:32Speaker 2: early life forms. Things get more complex, so it's understanding
- 27:36Speaker 2: of the world ours are things getting more simple or
- 27:38Speaker 2: are things getting more complex? So these are people who
- 27:41Speaker 2: are all saying the universe is not as complex as
- 27:43Speaker 2: you think it is, right, or nothing is getting more complex.
- 27:46Speaker 2: Everything is always as simple as it ever has been.
- 27:49Speaker 3: Right.
- 27:50Speaker 1: It's almost an atheism version of Christianity, where as opposed
- 27:55Speaker 1: to nothing mattering, one thing matters, yes, and that's the Bible,
- 27:59Speaker 1: and on that everything's fake. Yes, dinosaurs, nuclear weapons, the
- 28:05Speaker 1: fucking Super Nintendo, it's all fake.
- 28:08Speaker 2: Well, they also believe that anything that says that human
- 28:11Speaker 2: beings aren't at the center of everything is degrading humanity.
- 28:14Speaker 2: They'll say basically that it's like to say that we
- 28:17Speaker 2: evolved is to say that we it's one point, we're
- 28:19Speaker 2: less than we are now. So it's really egotistical in
- 28:22Speaker 2: terms of humans, that it's saying that humans are at
- 28:24Speaker 2: the center of everything, and that it's like, how dare
- 28:26Speaker 2: you ever say that I'm not the most important thing
- 28:28Speaker 2: in the universe? Right, that a dinosaur could have existed,
- 28:32Speaker 2: Like to say that a dinosaur exists not is like
- 28:35Speaker 2: insulting to them, It's insulting to their humanity. Yeah, it's like,
- 28:39Speaker 2: how insecure are you? This is that seems so jealous
- 28:43Speaker 2: that you're like, I don't even want to think about
- 28:44Speaker 2: God ever making anything that's not me, right, Yeah, it's
- 28:48Speaker 2: and all the animals were made for me. So if
- 28:50Speaker 2: all the animals were made for me, that how could
- 28:52Speaker 2: there have been dinosaurs and animals before there was me?
- 28:55Speaker 2: Makes no fucking sense.
- 28:56Speaker 1: Right, And yeah, it's important to keep in mind that also,
- 29:01Speaker 1: this is a group that thinks the Earth is six
- 29:03Speaker 1: thousand years old, right, and dinosaurs existing undoes that altogether.
- 29:09Speaker 1: And this is a quote from the article, one of
- 29:13Speaker 1: many quotes that really got under my fucking crawl. If
- 29:16Speaker 1: dinosaurs existed on the Earth for millions of years then
- 29:20Speaker 1: they should have left a record so extravagant and so
- 29:23Speaker 1: extensive that it would be virtually impossible to excavate any
- 29:27Speaker 1: part of the Earth and not find some evidence of
- 29:30Speaker 1: their fossilized remains. Maybe that's true if the Earth is
- 29:33Speaker 1: six thousand years old. Yeah, but we're talking about things
- 29:36Speaker 1: that existed millions of years ago.
- 29:39Speaker 2: Million.
- 29:40Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of shit built up on
- 29:42Speaker 1: top of those carcasses by the time we find them.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Even not a scientist, some one of the basic understanding
- 29:48Speaker 2: of how the structures of the world work. Okay, look
- 29:51Speaker 2: at the fact that we find temples underwater, we find
- 29:54Speaker 2: cities underwater, we find roads underwater, we find huge amounts
- 29:58Speaker 2: of data that is underwater that was made by human beings.
- 30:02Speaker 2: So we understand that places that used to be livable
- 30:05Speaker 2: are now not livable and now inaccessible to us, probably
- 30:09Speaker 2: in a way. And those are just thousands of years ago.
- 30:12Speaker 2: So you don't believe that things millions of years ago
- 30:15Speaker 2: could be at a point Earth that is largely inaccessible
- 30:17Speaker 2: to most people. Yeah.
- 30:19Speaker 3: No, And there's this.
- 30:22Speaker 2: You gotta laugh because I'm like, all right, cool, Well,
- 30:24Speaker 2: this is we don't understand how digging works.
- 30:26Speaker 3: Well, this is another quote right along those same lines.
- 30:30Speaker 1: Why then are they and they're talking about fossils, why
- 30:34Speaker 1: then are they only ever found by experts and only
- 30:38Speaker 1: in remote locations? Okay, one, because they're experts, and that's
- 30:42Speaker 1: what experts. If you gave me a shovel and said
- 30:45Speaker 1: go find a fucking dinosaur bone, I couldn't do it.
- 30:48Speaker 2: And that's also not true.
- 30:49Speaker 1: Right.
- 30:50Speaker 2: I've heard of examples of people who are building roads
- 30:53Speaker 2: in California yea and sun in California, and they have
- 30:55Speaker 2: to stop working because they find something that has to
- 30:57Speaker 2: later be investigated by baling college as archaeologists.
- 30:59Speaker 1: And as far as the only in remote locations, saying
- 31:03Speaker 1: this sentence comes after them talking about how well, if
- 31:06Speaker 1: dinosaurs were so plentiful, there should be bones mere miles
- 31:10Speaker 1: from your own home. There probably are, and there are
- 31:13Speaker 1: probably houses on top of them and buildings. We have
- 31:17Speaker 1: built a whole fucking society on top of all this land.
- 31:21Speaker 1: You're not just gonna bulldoze a fucking home on the
- 31:23Speaker 1: off chance there's a dinosaur bone under there.
- 31:26Speaker 2: Yeah. Also, we have an understanding, and.
- 31:29Speaker 1: That's why we dig in remote locations. There's no buildings
- 31:32Speaker 1: on top of remote locations.
- 31:33Speaker 2: Also, there was a giant asteroid that There's been huge
- 31:38Speaker 2: movements of glaciers. There's been ice ages, multiple nuture ice age,
- 31:43Speaker 2: and then the little ice age. There's been fast changes
- 31:46Speaker 2: to the Earth. Yeah, just that asteroid hitting wiped out
- 31:50Speaker 2: a lot of them.
- 31:51Speaker 1: And even the asteroid thing, people are like, why did
- 31:53Speaker 1: mammals survive? Dinosaurs were mostly herbivores, you fucking goons and
- 31:58Speaker 1: cold blooded. Yeah, like they ate plants and couldn't survive
- 32:03Speaker 1: cold weather. Yeah, it's pretty easy. It's easy math.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not very hard to figure out. And then
- 32:10Speaker 2: just the whole thing of getting into like, well, the
- 32:12Speaker 2: physics of these creatures don't make sense from a perspective
- 32:16Speaker 2: of anatomy.
- 32:18Speaker 3: Yep, that's too big. Yeah, that comes up.
- 32:21Speaker 2: And the thing you're seeing a blue whale. Motherfucker.
- 32:24Speaker 3: Like we're just now we're.
- 32:26Speaker 1: Talking about things that existed millions of years ago. We're
- 32:30Speaker 1: gonna get some shit wrong when we're figuring out what
- 32:33Speaker 1: they are. And one of the things we got wrong
- 32:36Speaker 1: is that we overestimated how heavy dinosaurs were. In a
- 32:41Speaker 1: lot of cases, they were more like birds, and go
- 32:44Speaker 1: look at any bird, right, now that fucking top heavy
- 32:47Speaker 1: idiot runs around just fine on its stupid little twig legs.
- 32:51Speaker 2: Look at a pelican, Yeah, look, look at a platypus.
- 32:54Speaker 2: Do you think that makes sense?
- 32:55Speaker 3: It makes no sense.
- 32:57Speaker 2: It makes no goddamn sense.
- 32:58Speaker 3: There's zero.
- 32:58Speaker 2: There's so many things nature that from a design perspective
- 33:02Speaker 2: are weird or strange or don't make sense from a
- 33:06Speaker 2: design perspective. Not every animal that's designed ends up in
- 33:10Speaker 2: its form because of the engineering totally makes sense. Some
- 33:14Speaker 2: of it is sex selection, do and made certain things
- 33:17Speaker 2: to do with breeding pawerns, So we don't totally even understand, Like,
- 33:20Speaker 2: there are features on animals that are selected by their
- 33:23Speaker 2: partners that are not the most from an engineering perspective,
- 33:29Speaker 2: aren't the most rational or aren't the most efficient force, right,
- 33:32Speaker 2: Like for a reindeer, do you think that having giant
- 33:35Speaker 2: crown of antlers is the most efficient?
- 33:39Speaker 3: Has to be impractical.
- 33:41Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a bit impractical, but yet it exists.
- 33:44Speaker 3: It's still there.
- 33:45Speaker 2: It's still there. So to be like, well, it would
- 33:47Speaker 2: be impractical for dinosaurs to exist in those forms, it's
- 33:49Speaker 2: like it's impractical for a lot of things to exist
- 33:52Speaker 2: in their forms. Is impractical for human beings to have
- 33:54Speaker 2: ninety percent of our he lost through our head. Yeah,
- 33:56Speaker 2: that makes no fucking sense, stupid, Or to have a
- 33:59Speaker 2: blind spot in our eyes. Why don't our eyes go
- 34:01Speaker 2: in every direction with no blind spot?
- 34:03Speaker 3: Yeah? Why can't I turn my head three hundred and
- 34:05Speaker 3: sixty degrees?
- 34:06Speaker 2: Exactly? Why do we have an appendix?
- 34:08Speaker 3: Owls can do it?
- 34:09Speaker 2: Right?
- 34:10Speaker 3: How come owls can do it and I can't. Maybe
- 34:12Speaker 3: owls are fake?
- 34:13Speaker 2: Yeah exactly.
- 34:13Speaker 3: I'd be fine with you. I think owls are fucking mrs.
- 34:16Speaker 2: When I come to the end of these I just
- 34:17Speaker 2: want to be like, am I real?
- 34:18Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 34:19Speaker 1: It's And I should mention this article twenty eight pages
- 34:23Speaker 1: long and read it all.
- 34:25Speaker 3: We've covered about four pages of it.
- 34:28Speaker 2: The thing against me, too is there are a number
- 34:30Speaker 2: of fundamentals Christians who do believe in dinosaurs, but they
- 34:34Speaker 2: merely believe that they existed at the same time as humans,
- 34:37Speaker 2: possibly in different forms that we're imagining them. So this
- 34:39Speaker 2: is even beyond what those people believe, right, because a
- 34:43Speaker 2: lot of people who look at stuff in the Bible
- 34:44Speaker 2: and the Bible they do mention a behemoth.
- 34:47Speaker 4: That is.
- 34:47Speaker 2: The thing that is mentioned is like, you know, a
- 34:49Speaker 2: large beast that some people have looked to and they've
- 34:52Speaker 2: compared it to possibly like a pronosaurus or something like that.
- 34:55Speaker 2: Like I think they get into the descriptions of the tale,
- 34:57Speaker 2: is like a spruce tree or a pine tree or
- 34:59Speaker 2: something like that. So I mean, even if you were
- 35:02Speaker 2: a fundamental as Christian who was taking a more literal
- 35:05Speaker 2: approach to the Bible and what they say about creatures
- 35:08Speaker 2: that don't exist in our present time, there are Yeah,
- 35:11Speaker 2: you could come up with somewhat of an argument from
- 35:13Speaker 2: a theological perspective that says that dinosaurs did exist. So
- 35:17Speaker 2: it's weird that they're even making enemies of those people.
- 35:19Speaker 1: Yeah, because that like man and dinosaur existing at the
- 35:25Speaker 1: same time.
- 35:25Speaker 2: Glenstone's I feel like, Glenstone, if.
- 35:28Speaker 1: You want to have that talk, Yeah, that seems like
- 35:30Speaker 1: maybe you could sell me on that. Yes, some of dinosaurs.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Dinosaurs just aren't real Jesus Christ.
- 35:37Speaker 2: Okay, So what we come to is saying they're not real?
- 35:39Speaker 2: Is I've heard this before. This is one of the
- 35:40Speaker 2: first things that I heard, and I can't remember where
- 35:42Speaker 2: I first heard this, but there are people who believe
- 35:44Speaker 2: that specifically Satan made all those bones and yet them
- 35:48Speaker 2: in the earth, confuse and undermine faith.
- 35:53Speaker 1: Yeah, we talk about that. I mean they kind of
- 35:56Speaker 1: allude to that in this article. On next week's episode,
- 36:00Speaker 1: we talk about that a little more. But that's really
- 36:05Speaker 1: just crazy people. Like there's no like, I don't know
- 36:08Speaker 1: if there's anyone who's not sort of a crazy person
- 36:11Speaker 1: pushing this, but those people especially.
- 36:15Speaker 2: So what they're kind of saying is that. So what's
- 36:19Speaker 2: interesting about them saying dinosaurs are fake is they make
- 36:21Speaker 2: all these points about how what we see in museums
- 36:25Speaker 2: are not real and that those are all made up.
- 36:28Speaker 2: It's a form of science fiction and art, is what
- 36:30Speaker 2: they say.
- 36:30Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a reconstruction, and only part of it is
- 36:34Speaker 1: usually the bone they found.
- 36:36Speaker 3: And here's the thing.
- 36:37Speaker 1: That's fine, that's what I want. Like, if you find
- 36:40Speaker 1: a fucking femur, don't just put it in a museum
- 36:43Speaker 1: and go that fucking bone that used to belong to
- 36:45Speaker 1: a dinosaur. I want to know what that dinosaur looked like.
- 36:48Speaker 1: And if you can build the entire skeleton and go, hey,
- 36:51Speaker 1: that part's actual bone, I'm gonna go cool, that's neat, right,
- 36:55Speaker 1: Like what else are they expecting people to do it?
- 37:00Speaker 2: I think they're overestimating how much people are not believing
- 37:05Speaker 2: what's in museums. But it's okay. So if I go
- 37:07Speaker 2: to the Natural History Museum and I see that they
- 37:10Speaker 2: have a mural painted where they show like maybe a
- 37:12Speaker 2: typical scene millions of years ago, I know that that's
- 37:15Speaker 2: somewhat an artists dram right, Like I don't think they
- 37:18Speaker 2: fucking went back in a time machine and had a
- 37:20Speaker 2: little doing a sketch. Yeah, I understand that it is
- 37:26Speaker 2: a Scientists have to in certain ways imagine the past world.
- 37:31Speaker 3: Yeah, there's fucking Carbucks there.
- 37:34Speaker 2: Now we have to imagine what it looked like, pave
- 37:37Speaker 2: paradise and put up them not even paradise, but yeah.
- 37:40Speaker 2: Or so they think that like the Librea tar pits,
- 37:43Speaker 2: that's all fake. Right, Where does it end on the
- 37:46Speaker 2: fake or mooly mammus fake or saber tooth tiger's fake?
- 37:49Speaker 3: I think yes.
- 37:51Speaker 1: Like this is a quote that really kind of sums
- 37:53Speaker 1: up everything. This is presented as science in our schools
- 37:57Speaker 1: and colleges, but it is complete nonsense. The Earth is
- 38:01Speaker 1: both flat and stationary. There is no such region as
- 38:05Speaker 1: outer space. There are no asteroids. The Earth is only
- 38:09Speaker 1: a few thousand years old, dinosaurs never existed, and mammals
- 38:15Speaker 1: never evolved. In short, the Earth and its history are
- 38:20Speaker 1: exactly as described in the Bible. So this is a
- 38:25Speaker 1: theory coming from again, a fundamentalist Christian, right, not just
- 38:32Speaker 1: a like this isn't your friend who goes to church.
- 38:36Speaker 2: No, this is fundamentalist beyond even what they have at
- 38:39Speaker 2: that creation MUTI.
- 38:40Speaker 3: Like a sheite Christian.
- 38:42Speaker 2: Yeah, this guy is going back. I think even Aristotle
- 38:46Speaker 2: would have a lot of arguments to make with this
- 38:48Speaker 2: guy about what he knows about the universe. Oh god, damn,
- 38:52Speaker 2: that is just something that is I had another point
- 38:55Speaker 2: I was gonna make it. I'm just like you know,
- 38:57Speaker 2: when you're thinking about something that you hear more and
- 38:58Speaker 2: you think about, you're like, ah, well that's it's like
- 39:01Speaker 2: a stick of incense just got burned into my brain.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Well that's how this article kind of works, because at
- 39:06Speaker 1: this point we're up to page six.
- 39:08Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so asteroids are fake.
- 39:10Speaker 1: Stuff we've covered and we're all ready to outer space
- 39:13Speaker 1: is fake. Asteroids are fake. The moon is actually a
- 39:19Speaker 1: flat disc right about thirty miles in diameter that travels
- 39:24Speaker 1: in a circular path about four thousand miles above earth,
- 39:27Speaker 1: not two hundred and forty thousand, like you've been thinking
- 39:30Speaker 1: this whole time, Laura. That's just what the Masons what
- 39:35Speaker 1: you to believe. This is the Free Masons thing.
- 39:37Speaker 2: It's funny too because on a point he makes this
- 39:40Speaker 2: kind of point that ancient people's had no they had
- 39:44Speaker 2: no descriptions of dinosaurs, or there's nothing to do with evolution.
- 39:48Speaker 2: But weirdly enough, there are some things in Asian religions,
- 39:52Speaker 2: like the ancient Egyptians believe that bab boons. I believe
- 39:55Speaker 2: it's bab boons. I'm trying to think bad boons were
- 39:58Speaker 2: contained the souls of their ancestors and that some of
- 40:01Speaker 2: them represented forms of reborn ancestors. So that is, in
- 40:06Speaker 2: a weird way, almost correct. Yeah, oh, an almost correct
- 40:10Speaker 2: idea about evolution. Those are the ancient Egyptians, right. And
- 40:14Speaker 2: it's funny because it's like the Pyramids are twelve thousand
- 40:16Speaker 2: years old.
- 40:17Speaker 3: Yeah, so the Pyramids they're older than the Earth.
- 40:21Speaker 2: No, or they're fake, yeah, or they're fake or we're
- 40:23Speaker 2: getting the we're getting the data on the Pyramids wrong,
- 40:26Speaker 2: the Great Pyramids, yeah yepe.
- 40:29Speaker 1: Also on page six is when they finally get into
- 40:33Speaker 1: atomic bombs aren't real. And the best part of this
- 40:38Speaker 1: little kink in the theory is that they just throw
- 40:41Speaker 1: it out there in one sentence and basically say, we
- 40:45Speaker 1: never bombed Japan. They were just fire bombed like all
- 40:48Speaker 1: the other cities. And then they just go right back
- 40:50Speaker 1: into dinosaurs. They don't explain that shit. Nope, they just
- 40:54Speaker 1: get right back to dinosaurs.
- 40:57Speaker 2: It's pretty amazing to think that you could get entire
- 41:00Speaker 2: nation of Japan to participate conspiracy. Yeah, incredible.
- 41:05Speaker 3: How did they fake all those radiation burns? Anyway?
- 41:08Speaker 2: People movie magic, you know, h Hollywood magic. It's interesting.
- 41:11Speaker 2: It almost makes sense if you think about it from
- 41:13Speaker 2: the perspective of so from their idea from this guy
- 41:17Speaker 2: they do the universe and obviously is representing more people
- 41:19Speaker 2: than just himself. Man could never have the ability to
- 41:24Speaker 2: destroy the universe. I think that's what they're kind of saying.
- 41:26Speaker 2: They're like man, God would never put man in the
- 41:29Speaker 2: position where he was so powerful that he could destroy
- 41:32Speaker 2: his own planet. And it's always scaling back human abilities.
- 41:35Speaker 2: That's their whole point is, they're always scaling back human abilities. Right,
- 41:38Speaker 2: We've not done any science, We've not made an atom bomb,
- 41:40Speaker 2: we've not traveled to the moon, we've not understood anything
- 41:43Speaker 2: about the true nature of the world. Only God gets it, right,
- 41:47Speaker 2: and only people who you know, listen to God get it. Meanwhile,
- 41:52Speaker 2: that's another thing that's just scaling back human abilities. We've
- 41:54Speaker 2: never conquered We never split the atom. No, we never
- 41:57Speaker 2: did that.
- 41:57Speaker 1: Yeah, we're talking about millions in millions of years that
- 42:02Speaker 1: the Earth has existed. Like the United States is what
- 42:05Speaker 1: two hundred years old? We're nothing, We are nothing in
- 42:08Speaker 1: the big scheme of things. And there's just this general
- 42:13Speaker 1: notion with humanity in general that well, whatever wherever we
- 42:18Speaker 1: are right now, that's the furthest humanity's ever gone.
- 42:22Speaker 3: And we don't fucking know that.
- 42:23Speaker 1: There could be civilizations that figured all this shit out
- 42:27Speaker 1: and then destroyed themselves with nuclear weapons.
- 42:29Speaker 2: It's true, and we do, like I was gonna say,
- 42:32Speaker 2: certain societies advanced in certain forms of science more than others. Yeah,
- 42:36Speaker 2: you know, and it could be that some forms of
- 42:40Speaker 2: science that they actually did know and they got wiped out.
- 42:43Speaker 2: And I mean, that's just the way knowledge goes and
- 42:45Speaker 2: collecting knowledge, and we don't know where pockets of knowledge
- 42:48Speaker 2: could have existed that just didn't continue like we're looking
- 42:52Speaker 2: back now when we're finding out that Neanderthals had far
- 42:55Speaker 2: greater knowledge of boats, Yeah than we thought before. And
- 43:00Speaker 2: how that all that, you know, science and technology works.
- 43:04Speaker 2: And if you were not the dominant group that gets
- 43:07Speaker 2: your history written down, if you don't survive genetically, it
- 43:10Speaker 2: doesn't go anywhere. And it's unfortunate. It's a scary thing.
- 43:14Speaker 2: A lot of this seems based on fear. Is that
- 43:16Speaker 2: wild to say that it's scary because it's scary to
- 43:19Speaker 2: people to imagine a world that's not fully described, a
- 43:23Speaker 2: past that's not fully described in static and perfect, which
- 43:26Speaker 2: is the past of the Bible. And to imagine a
- 43:29Speaker 2: world that is possibly beyond what we can imagine, or
- 43:33Speaker 2: more complex or radically different than what it is now.
- 43:36Speaker 2: Is just the idea of that much difference is frightening. Yeah,
- 43:40Speaker 2: And it is scary to imagine a world that was
- 43:43Speaker 2: just cold blooded beasts. Yeah, that's frightening. And it's not warm,
- 43:46Speaker 2: and it's not personal, and it doesn't seem very godly.
- 43:49Speaker 1: Right and if well, and also if you're one of
- 43:51Speaker 1: these people who believes this theory, there's something in it
- 43:56Speaker 1: for you in that no one wants to feel like
- 43:58Speaker 1: they've been lied to, or like they've been conned, or
- 44:02Speaker 1: that their entire fucking life, in their entire belief system
- 44:05Speaker 1: is a sham. But if you're a fundamentalist Christian, dinosaurs
- 44:10Speaker 1: undo that, Like you need dinosaurs to be fake. Otherwise
- 44:14Speaker 1: everything you believed is kind.
- 44:15Speaker 2: Of a lie. You could say that, But it's also
- 44:19Speaker 2: I think if you really believe in God and you
- 44:21Speaker 2: want to exist as a spiritual person, I think you
- 44:23Speaker 2: could accept that God's concept of time, godly time, and
- 44:28Speaker 2: our concepts of time are radically different. So if God
- 44:31Speaker 2: is a thing that has always existed and will always exist,
- 44:35Speaker 2: then spans of time to him are completely different than
- 44:38Speaker 2: they are to us. Right, So dinosaurs blip in the radar,
- 44:44Speaker 2: you know, the evolving earth blip on the radar. In
- 44:47Speaker 2: terms of you can believe in a God that is
- 44:49Speaker 2: a creator God, but then you need to believe in
- 44:52Speaker 2: short periods.
- 44:53Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you're a fundamentalist, you need to believe
- 44:55Speaker 1: that God created man first, yes, and everything came after that.
- 45:00Speaker 2: Yeah, your timeline. Well, if you're a fundamentalis Christian in
- 45:03Speaker 2: this way, in this biblical of a fundamentalist, I think
- 45:07Speaker 2: you're really underestimating God. I think it's almost kind of
- 45:11Speaker 2: blasphemous that you think that the entire nature of God
- 45:15Speaker 2: could be understood in this book written by these human beings,
- 45:19Speaker 2: that the nature of God could be so much more
- 45:21Speaker 2: complex than humans could understand within the Bible, or people
- 45:24Speaker 2: at biblical biblical times could understand of God, or even
- 45:28Speaker 2: now that we can understand of God, you could say
- 45:30Speaker 2: that you can even be more godly than this guy,
- 45:33Speaker 2: have more faith in God than this guy, and come
- 45:36Speaker 2: to the complete opposite conclusion of him.
- 45:38Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely, which is bizarre. Yeah, it's that's the thing
- 45:43Speaker 3: where God, We're not.
- 45:44Speaker 2: Like discounting religion or believing in God by saying that
- 45:46Speaker 2: this guy's full of shit. No, I don't think so,
- 45:49Speaker 2: no I.
- 45:49Speaker 1: And that's one of the things I've been trying to
- 45:52Speaker 1: get across, Like religious people and people of faith are
- 45:56Speaker 1: it's most of the world, for one thing, So they're
- 45:59Speaker 1: going to be a very diverse group with a lot
- 46:02Speaker 1: of different types. And this is one small part, but
- 46:06Speaker 1: it's also a small part that wields an unfortunate amount
- 46:10Speaker 1: of influence in the country. Like, Yeah, evangelicals have for
- 46:15Speaker 1: a long time wielded a lot of power in this country,
- 46:18Speaker 1: and I feel like we need to go back to
- 46:20Speaker 1: calling them fundamentalists, like they don't get to decide.
- 46:23Speaker 3: Exactly, Like I was just gonna be a fundamentalist Christian.
- 46:25Speaker 2: People who have belief and who have faith in God
- 46:28Speaker 2: and also understand that science is a gift from God,
- 46:34Speaker 2: or if you believe in it, that you would believe
- 46:36Speaker 2: that science or human ability is a gift and it's
- 46:40Speaker 2: something that we should be thankful for. And to have
- 46:42Speaker 2: a group of people who are under your umbrella who
- 46:45Speaker 2: are shitting on that gift should you should beat the
- 46:48Speaker 2: shit out of them. You should keep them out of
- 46:50Speaker 2: your group. You should say you don't represent me. They
- 46:52Speaker 2: should be more incensed about having these assholes go out
- 46:55Speaker 2: there and be like, well, I think sides is bullshit
- 46:57Speaker 2: because of my faith. It's like, no, that's not what
- 46:59Speaker 2: faith does. That's not what faith does. Yeah, so they
- 47:02Speaker 2: should be more upset about this. It's kind of like
- 47:04Speaker 2: how people are like who is it. I remember around
- 47:07Speaker 2: the time of like, you know, nine to eleven stuff,
- 47:09Speaker 2: there would be all these psycho conservatives would be like, well,
- 47:12Speaker 2: why don't more Muslims come out and denounce nine to eleven?
- 47:14Speaker 2: And they're like, well, we don't have to. Yeah, it's
- 47:18Speaker 2: just I'm almost being like, well, why don't more Christians
- 47:21Speaker 2: come out and denounce these psychos. It's like, yeah, it's bizarre,
- 47:25Speaker 2: but it's like by that logic, it's like, yes, people
- 47:27Speaker 2: within a large tent should kick out the worst members
- 47:30Speaker 2: of their groups. That's how you stop your group from
- 47:34Speaker 2: being taken over bright pricks. So we're not saying that
- 47:37Speaker 2: like believing in the Bible puts you in the same
- 47:39Speaker 2: category as these people. These people are far outside even
- 47:42Speaker 2: what you know Biblical scholars would consider rational.
- 47:46Speaker 1: Well, these people are, especially when you get into militia types.
- 47:51Speaker 1: They are to Christianity what isis is to Islam, right.
- 47:56Speaker 2: And it's interesting to remember how you know a lot
- 47:59Speaker 2: of the fighters and people who were fundamentalists were destroying
- 48:04Speaker 2: Buddhist temples and destroying records of ancient Mesopotamian stuff that
- 48:08Speaker 2: was pre Islamic, and that the destroying of ancient literature
- 48:13Speaker 2: or ancient science or beliefs and stuff in culture is
- 48:16Speaker 2: very strong and unfundamentalists and in the same.
- 48:19Speaker 3: Way, and it's a form of gemicide.
- 48:20Speaker 2: It is, and it's a racing history. And if this
- 48:22Speaker 2: guy had his way, what would happen is we would
- 48:25Speaker 2: go out and destroy natural history museums, We would destroy
- 48:30Speaker 2: any reference to dinosaurs.
- 48:32Speaker 3: Orsques, mosques we'd have to get rid of.
- 48:34Speaker 2: Yeah, or anything that recognized atomic power would have to
- 48:38Speaker 2: be destroyed, right, Yeah, So anything that talked about anything
- 48:42Speaker 2: like that would have to be wrecked. So we would
- 48:44Speaker 2: have to undo all of these institutions that would make
- 48:46Speaker 2: them happy.
- 48:47Speaker 3: Yeah, it would. It would be a handmade's tale kind
- 48:51Speaker 3: of existence.
- 48:52Speaker 2: Exactly, That's what this is. To go forth with it
- 48:55Speaker 2: and say what would this look like in practical application
- 48:57Speaker 2: and people's lives. Imagine having all textbooks only reflect the
- 49:02Speaker 2: literal truth of the Bible. No literature, no science, no history, right,
- 49:08Speaker 2: you know, no paleontology, no archaeology, no studying of other cultures,
- 49:12Speaker 2: because who cares?
- 49:13Speaker 3: You got cancer? God punishing you?
- 49:15Speaker 2: Exactly?
- 49:16Speaker 3: Better go pray?
- 49:17Speaker 2: Right? So yeah, So dismantling all culture and all learning
- 49:21Speaker 2: and all knowledge and all man made creation that is
- 49:24Speaker 2: not to do with the Bible. What a great world? Yeah,
- 49:28Speaker 2: when you love to live in that world?
- 49:29Speaker 3: So much fun?
- 49:30Speaker 2: I know, And we should sports No maybe on Sunday.
- 49:35Speaker 3: No, stay home on Sunday don't even turn the lights on,
- 49:38Speaker 3: just joke, and there's no lights.
- 49:40Speaker 2: So power grade it's the work of the devil.
- 49:42Speaker 1: So, of course, like any good conspiracy theory, the Freemasons
- 49:45Speaker 1: do come up in this.
- 49:47Speaker 2: We've mentioned Oh yeah, you guys say who's doing it?
- 49:49Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the Freemasons who are doing this because they
- 49:52Speaker 1: need a link to make evolution real, and dinosaurs are
- 49:59Speaker 1: somehow that because of course, And one of the things
- 50:04Speaker 1: that comes up a lot in this is when they
- 50:07Speaker 1: talk about the Sun and the Earth all of those
- 50:11Speaker 1: like the Sun is three hundred and thirty three thousand,
- 50:13Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty three times larger than the Earth,
- 50:17Speaker 1: and they're like, what a convenient coincidence for the Masons
- 50:21Speaker 1: that the Sun is that size and that's one of
- 50:24Speaker 1: their numbers. And then the Earth's axis relates to something
- 50:30Speaker 1: masonic and the distance from the Sun to the Earth
- 50:35Speaker 1: is something masonic, and they're like, oh, how convenient we
- 50:39Speaker 1: figured all this shit out, like the size of the Sun,
- 50:42Speaker 1: how far we are all the Earth's axis. We figured
- 50:45Speaker 1: all this shit out in like the second third century BC.
- 50:49Speaker 1: Masons were founded in seventeen seventeen, so they had more
- 50:54Speaker 1: than a thousand years to learn up on this shit
- 50:57Speaker 1: and base all of their symbology around that, not the
- 51:03Speaker 1: other way around.
- 51:04Speaker 2: They do point out that a lot of the members
- 51:07Speaker 2: of the Royal Historical Societies in London around the time
- 51:10Speaker 2: that it so like eighteen forties ish through early nineteen hundreds,
- 51:14Speaker 2: when a lot of discoveries were being made by Dinsers,
- 51:16Speaker 2: they were like, okay, so all those guys were Anglicans,
- 51:19Speaker 2: and because they were.
- 51:21Speaker 1: Only letting Anglicans do shit back then, yeah, it's absurd.
- 51:26Speaker 2: So they were like, so there, so they just all
- 51:28Speaker 2: happened to be Anglican, you know. Mason's hmmmm, so pretty
- 51:33Speaker 2: sounds pretty coincidental. And it's like that's the only people
- 51:37Speaker 2: were who were allowed to be signed.
- 51:38Speaker 1: Yeah, no one else was doing anything back then. Everyone
- 51:41Speaker 1: else was being fucking oppressed exactly.
- 51:45Speaker 2: It's just it's just so funny that it's like, huh,
- 51:47Speaker 2: isn't it isn't it so funny that we only learned
- 51:49Speaker 2: about this in the eighteen forties, And it's like, isn't
- 51:52Speaker 2: it so funny that we only learned about Adams when
- 51:55Speaker 2: we did, or we only learned about anything when we did.
- 51:58Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like that's how advancement works. You learn about
- 52:01Speaker 1: things in one thing. We talked about it before this.
- 52:04Speaker 1: I don't know if we've even brought it up on
- 52:06Speaker 1: this episode, but one point they keep hitting on throughout
- 52:09Speaker 1: this entire article is weirdly, only paleontologists have this skill.
- 52:16Speaker 1: And it's like, yeah, they're the ones who are training
- 52:19Speaker 1: to find fucking dinosaur bones.
- 52:21Speaker 2: They get like one guy to talk who is saying
- 52:23Speaker 2: that he had There's a stude who basically failed as
- 52:26Speaker 2: a paleontologist. He was talking about taking these courses and
- 52:29Speaker 2: he's like, well, they thought it was a moron because
- 52:32Speaker 2: it couldn't tell the difference between a rock and an egg,
- 52:34Speaker 2: but do the same thing. And I was like, wow,
- 52:37Speaker 2: it sounds like you just suck at paleontology.
- 52:39Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like you're dumb. Yeah.
- 52:42Speaker 1: And it says at one point, apparently you have to
- 52:45Speaker 1: be able to tell where the rock ends and where
- 52:47Speaker 1: the fossil starts.
- 52:49Speaker 3: How come only paleontologists can do this. It's like fucking outcome.
- 52:53Speaker 3: Only a musician can play a guitar solo, I know,
- 52:56Speaker 3: cause they fucking learn how to do it.
- 52:58Speaker 2: Like we all look at a guitar and see the
- 53:00Speaker 2: same number of strings in the same number of frats,
- 53:02Speaker 2: and it's the same amount of data in the same
- 53:05Speaker 2: amount of technology. But certain people. We always hear stories
- 53:09Speaker 2: of people who are kids who can go to a
- 53:12Speaker 2: piano and hear a tune and play it. I don't
- 53:14Speaker 2: be like music is bullshit because you can just hear
- 53:17Speaker 2: a song play it and I can't. Yeah, it's bullshit.
- 53:21Speaker 3: It's like God wouldn't make us that way.
- 53:24Speaker 2: How come these people can like just look at an
- 53:27Speaker 2: apple and draw it perfectly but I can't.
- 53:30Speaker 3: It's nuts, you know what I mean?
- 53:32Speaker 2: It would be like, what is this artistic ability? I
- 53:36Speaker 2: don't know. It's like some of how come a plumber
- 53:39Speaker 2: is the only one who can fix my pipes?
- 53:41Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 53:41Speaker 2: Unsuspicious, huh.
- 53:43Speaker 1: They hit on that point so fucking much in this article.
- 53:47Speaker 1: It is infuriating, but the whole thing is INFERI it.
- 53:51Speaker 1: We'll link to it on the website. You can if
- 53:54Speaker 1: you want to do it to yourself, you can go
- 53:56Speaker 1: read the whole thing.
- 53:57Speaker 2: I think that's was particularly interesting about this one is
- 53:59Speaker 2: the level of offensive it is because it can offend
- 54:02Speaker 2: the sensibilities of atheists, of deasts, of Christians, of people,
- 54:08Speaker 2: non Christians, of people, even people who are more biblical
- 54:13Speaker 2: literalists than even I might feel comfortable with. You know,
- 54:16Speaker 2: even people who might even describe themselves as fundamental as
- 54:19Speaker 2: Christians would have major arguments with this or would be
- 54:23Speaker 2: offended by it and the stupidity of it.
- 54:26Speaker 1: It is.
- 54:26Speaker 2: It's probably one of the few conspiracies that could manage
- 54:29Speaker 2: to offend nearly everyone.
- 54:31Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean, I think almost everyone.
- 54:33Speaker 2: Almost everyone should be offended.
- 54:35Speaker 3: You you really have to be way out there to
- 54:38Speaker 3: get behind this theory.
- 54:40Speaker 2: Yeah, it offends people in the same tent as him.
- 54:44Speaker 2: You know, even people, even people who have conspiracy theories
- 54:47Speaker 2: about dinosaurs, could be offended by this. Yeah, because they
- 54:51Speaker 2: could just think that they existed on a different timeline.
- 54:53Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 54:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I love amazing.
- 54:55Speaker 1: I love a conspiracy theory where uh, you have to
- 54:59Speaker 1: believe one side or the other or it just cancel.
- 55:01Speaker 1: Like the moon is a good one for me because
- 55:05Speaker 1: there are a lot of people who are like, we've
- 55:07Speaker 1: never been to the moon, and I don't like that
- 55:10Speaker 1: conspiracy theory because then it makes the whole Oh, we
- 55:13Speaker 1: went to the moon and there's some shit up there
- 55:15Speaker 1: and we can't go back.
- 55:16Speaker 3: I like that theory better.
- 55:18Speaker 2: Yeah, or it's that it's hollow.
- 55:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I want a deduction. I want it to be
- 55:23Speaker 3: something like that.
- 55:23Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 55:24Speaker 2: It's funny that people who are like I have different things.
- 55:26Speaker 2: I have different feelings about what the moon is. Even
- 55:28Speaker 2: those people can't agree, right, Yeah, there's no agreement, there's
- 55:31Speaker 2: no conspiracy to get together and all agree. For the
- 55:35Speaker 2: people always pointing out on conspiracy theories, they can't seem
- 55:38Speaker 2: to find much unity themselves, right. They seem to think
- 55:40Speaker 2: it's so easy for other people to collude, but yet
- 55:43Speaker 2: they can't come up to an agreement. Isn't that weird?
- 55:45Speaker 3: Weird? Yeah, weird.
- 55:46Speaker 2: Really, they think it's so easy for people to come
- 55:48Speaker 2: together and all agree to a lie, but they can't
- 55:50Speaker 2: agree on a truth.
- 55:51Speaker 1: Yeah, that's strange, weird. So that's our episode. It's been
- 55:58Speaker 1: a good episode. It's been a very enjoyable episode, and
- 56:00Speaker 1: we're gonna keep it going. Next week we're gonna dig
- 56:03Speaker 1: into some other Hey, how come only paleontologists can do it? Uh,
- 56:12Speaker 1: We're gonna get into some more wilder dinosaur conspiracy theories
- 56:17Speaker 1: and they're they're all bullshit. There's one there's one on
- 56:21Speaker 1: there that I kind of buy. But it also comes
- 56:23Speaker 1: from like a Princeton paleontologist, so it's not.
- 56:27Speaker 2: You can imagine me doing a jerkoff motion Princeton couldn't
- 56:31Speaker 2: get into Harvard.
- 56:32Speaker 3: Huh good point.
- 56:35Speaker 2: Go to Cornell and save yourself a couple of pennies.
