Speaker 1
left only with the mind and then the mind will begin to travel inside itself and that's why Jan-C Lily invented flotation tanks but while Jan-C Lily was in one of his flotation tanks he started to wonder if he could speak to dolphins he started to wonder about the possibility of human dolphin communication something about being in the flotation tank and floating in the water allowed him to have a type of empathy with dolphins or he wondered she's they're really smart they're very very smart animals I wonder I wonder could we teach a dolphin to speak English I wonder would that be possible so he got out of his flotation tank and he rang up nasa and he said I'm a respected scientist Jan-C Lily and I I'm interested in whether I can teach a dolphin how to speak English and this is 1960 and then nasa said well we're nasa we want to explore the universe and sometimes we wonder what would happen if we met an alien if we went up into space and we met an alien would we be able to speak with this alien we don't know and then Jan-C Lily said well why don't ye why don't ye let me try and speak with a dolphin why don't she set up a big research center where we can study whether or not we can teach a dolphin to speak English to communicate with a human and then ye nasa can use this experiment to figure out whether it's possible to speak with an alien if you ever met one so nasa said yeah that sounds like a great idea so nasa set up this dolphin research center and the island of St Thomas an island just beside jeffrey Epstein's island this was next this 1960s up long before jeffrey Epstein so nasa set up a research center with Jan-C Lily where he was like okay let's try and teach this dolphin how to speak English using its blowhole so the lab was set up and the island of St Thomas and the scientists in Jan-C Lily were observing the dolphins trying to figure out how do they communicate what's going on underneath the water echolocation all these means of dolphin communication but then one day this girl showed up she was about 21 and she lived on St Thomas and this girl's name was Margaret Lovitt and she was just fascinated she was she knocked at the door of the lab and said I heard you have dolphins in here and I love animals I just want to know what's going on this this is amazing so the scientist said come on in and have a look America couldn't believe what she saw Jan-C Lily was in there and he had three dolphins in a tank and Jan-C Lily was able to say things to the dolphins and they were using their blowholes to respond to him so it did appear to be a type of communication he was fascinated with could he turned our blowholes into like a mouth a mouth that could say human words now Margaret Lovitt thought this was fascinating and she kept coming back to the dolphin research center and the scientist would let her in and before long she was swimming with the dolphins in their tanks and playing with them and becoming friends and she also started to become obsessed with Jan-C Lily's idea of can we teach these dolphins to speak English some Margaret love it now she's with the dolphins 12 hours a day in this giant tank in this giant water tank she really believes she can make these dolphins talk and the scientist Jan-C Lily is like I reckon we can do this too but then Margaret says I can only achieve through empathy with these dolphins if I live with the fuckers I don't want to go home in the evening I want to spend 24 hours a day in this tank with these dolphins and Jan-C Lily says fuck it that sounds like a great idea that's kind of odd because Margaret Lovitt is just some garlic showed up she's not a scientist she's just some garlic knocked on the door of the top secret top secret nasa laboratory and trying to find out if you can speak the dolphins and she just arrives so Jan-C Lily says yeah let's figure it out you're gonna live in a tank with that dolphin 24 hours a day for three months so she began and there were three dolphins and she was living 24 hours a day in the tank with these dolphins her bed was floating on the water above she had a desk for taking notes that was above the water but she lived with these dolphins and one of them a young teenage male dolphin called Peter he became a real good friend with her and he would swim around her all the time and she made serious progress teaching him how to speak she taught him to say Margaret a dolphin to say Margaret her name with his fucking blowhole now he couldn't say the M but he could say the rest of it now the thing was is there was three dolphins in this tank there was Peter the dolphin and then there was two other females but Peter wasn't interested in the two other females at all he completely ignored them and he was obsessed with Margaret the human and Margaret was making serious progress with him teaching him how to speak but there was a problem Peter the dolphin was becoming sexually attracted to Margaret the human and now when Margaret was trying to teach him how to speak Peter didn't want to play games anymore he didn't want to learn he didn't want to try to speak he was just horny all the time so then Margaret started to masturbate him she was wanking off the dolphin now she's given interviews on this she said look to be honest I had to do it because if I didn't if I didn't wank off the dolphin he wouldn't continue learning English so this is the thing I had to do to continue with the progress of his learning I didn't think much of it it's just he was horny he was there he wasn't interested in the other female dolphins so I helped him out relieved him and then we can hum her work now to make things even more mad there was a tv show called flipper flipper was about a talk in dolphin and flipper was inspired by jancy lily's research right but then jancy lily started to hang about with the producer of flipper and the producer of flipper gave jancy lily lsd for the first time so now jancy lily's after doing acid and this has changed everything so now he wants to give acid to the dolphins so jancy lily and nasa are now injecting fucking acid lsd into the dolphins now Margaret hated this she thought that this was wrong so they injected lsd into every dolphin but not Peter the one that she was wanking off so back to asloh last week when I got offered the opportunity to use a fucking flotation thank I was not expecting wasn't expecting that this was going to be the history of flotation things nasa nasa wanking off dolphins and giving them acid so they can learn how to talk to aliens that is not the research hole I expected to fall down when looking up flotation things but I was very excited nonetheless so
Variety is the spice of life. And yet folklore makes it very clear just how dangerous it is to mix things up.
