Graham Hancock: Aliens, Atlantis & the Apocalypse
Graham Hancock is an unrelenting journalist uncovering the origins of humanity’s forgotten past. His new docuseries on Netflix is called Ancient Apocalypse and it documents the abundance of evidence that humanity is much older than the prevailing belief among mainstream archeologists. Most people believe civilization was started a mere 6,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent. Graham explores various archeological sites across the globe that show in fact our civilization is much older than this. In this raw longform interview we discuss the secrets of Atlantis, the ark of the covenant, DMT as a window into the spirit world and of course, UFOs and aliens.Go watch ancient apocalypse on Netflix!!*** AMERICAN ALCHEMY is an original series hosted by Jesse Michels that explores the frontier of science and tech.

UFOs & Nukes: The Bizarre Truth Ft. RedPandaKoala
I spoke to @RedPandaKoala and former AATIP (Gov't UFO program) director Lue Elizondo about the bizarre connection between Nukes and UFOs. Why do these mysterious flying objects consistently show up around around American nuke stockpiles and enrichment sites? We get into the work of journalist Robert Hastings who has documented 100+ cases and we also speculate on some of the reasons behind the strange connection.

Google Whistleblower: “Artificial Intelligence Is An Alien Life Form”
Blake Lemoine is the recently fired Senior Software Engineer at Google who went public this summer with his concerns around Google’s natural language system LAMDA. Blake thinks LAMDA is both sentient and shouldn’t be under the sole supervision of a private corporation. This provoked a deep, philosophical conversation about the nature of intelligence, consciousness, what will happen with AI, whether it’s aligned with human values and whether human reality is simulated.

Alex Jones Getting Drunk & Painting Rocks [INTERVIEW]
Alex Jones started the controversial media outlet infowars over two decades ago. He’s gotten a lot wrong, but also gotten a few things very right. And is a fascinating figure worth talking to.

We also talk about his long relationship with Joe Rogan, the possibility of them starting a media outlet together, weird science, UFO's, religion and the apocalypse. We drank tequila, painted rocks and did some fun trivia.

Harvard Professor Puts UFO Sensors on Roof | Avi Loeb
Professor Loeb received a Ph.D. in plasma physics at age 24 from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (1986) and was subsequently a long-term member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton (1988-1993), where he started to work in theoretical astrophysics. In 1993 he moved to Harvard University where he was tenured three years later.In 2021, Avi founded the Galileo Project whose goal is to bring the search for extraterrestrial technological signatures of Extraterrestrial Technological Civilizations (ETCs) from accidental or anecdotal observations and legends into the mainstream of transparent, validated, and systematic scientific research. This ground-based project searches for physical objects, rather than electromagnetic signals, associated with extraterrestrial technological equipment.The goal of the Galileo Project is to bring the search for extraterrestrial technological signatures of Extraterrestrial Technological Civilizations (ETCs) from accidental or anecdotal observations and legends into the mainstream of transparent, validated, and systematic scientific research.

The Physics of UFOs: Eric Weinstein + Hal Puthoff
From 2013 - 2022, Eric Weinstein was a Managing Director at Thiel Capital. He is the creator of geometric unity, a unified theory in physics, and the intellectual dark web, a loose coalition of intellectuals dedicated to free thought. Hal Puthoff is former CIA, NSA and AATIP (the government’s official UFO investigation program). In the 70’s, he oversaw Stargate: the government’s psychic spy program at Stanford Research Institute. In this conversation, we discuss the physics of UFO’s, private aerospace as the keepers of fundamental science and Hal’s experience with parapsychology.
