Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello everybody. Welcome back. Hi. For the final minisode of our- Hello. Year of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, 2023. If you believe in Jesus, you can show your faith right now by sending us a small $20 deposit at Shaluminati.
Starting point is 00:00:21 Patreon.com slash ShaluminatiPod. Your money goes towards expanding the reach of God's Word What are you saying? I'm trying to be a televangelist. Anyway, welcome back to the minisode. I think this is a minisode 160 We've crossed to the 160 160 a classic number A classic number. Here I am doing everything. Tony Hawk. We're playing Tony Hawk. No, it's a 180. Never mind. I hate listening to that song now. I hate listening to that song. I know some internet meme of being like 30 year olds listening to this song. And this is like, but it's true. But it's a true meme.
Starting point is 00:00:56 We sure are old. The oldest people that are. We are getting there. We're getting there. Speaking of old, I got one for you. Last, last mini-sode of the year, 2023 is coming to a close. It's time once again to open up the New York Post and listen to that old French prophet, that guy. We love him. You know him from the 16th century, Nostradamus, author of the prophet is a prophet. You know, he's been he according to the New York Post, he has predicted everything from the rise of Adolf Hitler to the assassination of JFK to COVID-19 to September 11th. And then they have the balls to write, to name a few. So let's, So let's, let's, what do you say? What do you say to us cracking the books on some 2024 Nostradamus predictions?
Starting point is 00:01:51 Let's go. And one day we'll do a full ass like multi-part series about Nostradamus himself. I promise. Oh my God. Yeah. Let's see what that old motherfucker has to say. First of all, we're talking about, we're going to the UK. Uh, the land of Dean.
Starting point is 00:02:05 Yeah. A quote, King of the Isles will be quote, driven out by force. King of the Isles driven out by force. Everybody's thinking it's going to be Charles III. Also quote about Charles III, quote, soon afterward, a disastrous, soon after a disastrous soon after a disastrous war a new king shall be anointed who for a long time will appease the earth Apparently that might be I love these because there's not just vague They're grossly vague and they've always been so grossly vague that everyone's like no Saddam has predicted it. It's like, okay I should write down some vagaries
Starting point is 00:02:46 Okay, but Mario reading who's a famous Nostradamus interpreter, uh, previously said Nostradamus predicted queen Elizabeth's death, which maybe was true. And then analyzed the new information to say that King Charles is probably going to abdicate the throne due to new information. It's not new information. It's just new prophecies, prophecies about now, newly relevant prophecies about now that we're not about now till now. Quote persistent attacks on both himself and his second wife have been predicted. And Harry is going to replace him instead of William because the spare air, quote, has no mark of a king. So that's what's in store for the British Isles.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Get ready for that. Now we're going to talk about China for a second. According to Nostradamus, we're getting, quote, combat and naval battle with China and that quote, a red adversary will become pale with fear, putting the great ocean in dread. And that there's going to be a naval battle referring to tensions between China and Taiwan, because Beijing, as you know, has the biggest Navy in the entire world, according to the New York Post. So I don't know, I don't know. Maybe we're going to see a scary naval blockade of Taiwan. Maybe that'll be what we see in 2024. Next thing, Nostradamus is talking about, something we don't want to talk about too much because we get too depressed,
Starting point is 00:04:15 the climate. Obviously, the climate is getting worse if you have your head out of a hole in the ground and trust the evidence right in front of your fucking eyes. But No Chidama says this is the beginning of the end, things are getting worse. Here's the quote, the dry earth will grow more parched, and there will be great floods when it is seen, which honestly is a it contradicts itself. I don't know what's he said it's gonna get more parched and when that happens we're gonna see floods I don't know. Okay cover be bases man you can't be wrong if you say everything. Yeah he also says there's gonna be great famine very quote very great famine through pestiferous wave which means like
Starting point is 00:05:07 i don't know like what like sickness pestiferous like pestilence maybe i don't know very great famine through pestiferous wave it's coming uh so be careful i'll tell you right now as we as we talk this article was posted uh on 12th, so two weeks ago. I'll tell you right now, Los Angeles is under an air quality warning advisory because of smoke from wood. So think about that. Think about that. And it wouldn't be Nostradamus without a papal prediction. He's always talking about them popes. Pope Francis, God bless him.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Apparently, he's going to be dead pretty soon. We have a quote that says, through the death of a very old pontiff, a Roman of good age will be elected. Of him, it will be said that he weakens his sea, but long will he sit in an inviting activity. And to sort of support that, it has been reported that days, just days shy of his 87th birthday, Pope Francis has been having health issues. He had to skip the UN climate conference because he had lung inflammation and breathing problems from the flu, which is not good for the Pope. And you know, these are scary predictions. I want to say they're kind of scary. They always are. If you believe in Nostradamus, but I will point out that last year I did this and he
Starting point is 00:06:40 predicted that the Antichrist was going to come and that there was going to be World War Three and neither of those things have happened yet. There's still three days left. World War Three this was happened last year and then this year the war with China happens as if that wasn't going to happen during World War Three. It's a war that China is going to be involved in not necessarily we're going to fight China. But yeah unless World War Three breaks out in the next three days no stradamus can go Go go suck eggs Yeah, suck eggs 2024 baby get ready for a whole nother year I'll do a yearly three Kings ritual to ask questions about the future and I'll give you with predictions every year from now on
Starting point is 00:07:22 Deal. Yeah, I mean that's just that's too much the three Kings. I don't want I don't wish that on anyone That's a lot of work. It's too much. Yeah, do you want to wrap this up? Do you what I don't know what your topic is. Is it a wrap-up one? I got I got the top three ghost stories Okay in the UK of 2023 oh, that's great Take it away. I'll end this with some science then. Oh 23. Oh, that's great. Take it away. I'll end this with some science then. Oh, actually, that's a lie. It turns out this is top three ghost stories in the world, which makes it
Starting point is 00:07:50 even more important. Oh, shit. Yep. All right. Number three, the ghostly floating white figure on Cleethorpe's beach. I'm just going to this I'm gonna share it with you. Yeah, okay, I'm in cleethorpe's beach. Give me your thoughts on number What the hell? I'm both or you know, that's creepy. Uh This one right here, I want to give you a link and it Did not here we go, dude. we're living the mystery right now. Okay, let's see what's going on here. The ghostly white figure on Cleethorpe's beach that left women absolutely stunned.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Cleethorpe's beach. Give me the footage. Yeah, there's something way out there that's white. Is that supposed to be that thing out in the water? Is that what we're looking at? The thing is, that's so far out that it's huge. Is that what we're looking at? Dude, my Sasquatch pictures are better than this. This is number three, guys.
Starting point is 00:08:58 This is number three. I don't understand. Are we just looking at the little white? Yes, we're looking at the little white wisp in the middle of the frame out in the middle of the ocean what? It's just a what does water? during a storm I Don't know. I'm better. That's number two No, it's a coil Wait, that's the same thing
Starting point is 00:09:21 What's happening now? I keep saying share and it won't share. I'm just going to give you a scroll down. Scroll down. There's a video ghost filmed moving about an attic of haunted Gettysburg Inn. Oh yeah. Here we are. Yeah. Oh yeah. In front of the window. Yo. But it, in front of the window. Yo. What?
Starting point is 00:09:48 It definitely doesn't go. I don't know if that's a ghost. That thing's moving like an animal. I saw some like human shape though, right away at the beginning of it, didn't you? I don't know if that, I'll go back, hang on. I'm waiting to see. I mean something's definitely on the other side
Starting point is 00:10:00 of that window for a minute. The best part of this video is the dude is like, oh my God. No way. Oh no. is like, oh my God. No way. No. No way. Oh my God. It's moving. Let me rewind the beginning here.
Starting point is 00:10:13 I mean, maybe that's human. There's something there. I just don't know what is. But it looks like a tail, like a wagging tail. Yeah, it looks like something going like, whee whee whee whee. Yep. It's way better than the picture. Yeah, it looks like it looks like something going like, Yep. It's way better than the picture. Yeah, I'll give you that. Actually some real footage. I don't know about that. Is there really no footage of that white thing floating? I mean, that's I have what I have. I'm just telling you these are the top three according to the internet and of course number one what is this just describe
Starting point is 00:10:45 what you're seeing I'm looking at Houston Houston my hometown security guard seen talking to a ghost by a co-worker oh he's just this dude is just having conversation with no one he's having like a pretty animated conversation with nobody. And then this guy just this guy just freaked out because either they're talking to him. And or or he disappears or he tells him that she died two years ago and then he pieces out at like two minutes. Matt and then we watch him a couple times. He honestly, like, I don't know, like, it's hard to, it's hard to say whether acting is real or not, but I buy his body language.
Starting point is 00:11:33 I buy that he would, he would have that reaction. Like maybe he got the reaction and it disappeared and then he finally he ran away. You know, I don't know. I can see that. That's a pretty good one. All right. Those are all right. But then I come to you with one last thing. The most important thing. Alex may give you predictions from some old man about what's going to happen in 2024, but I'm going to give you predictions from robots about what's going to happen in 2034. The only things that will be alive in 2034 AI sex spots. These are predictions with the percentage of likelihood. First, the first space hotel becomes operational allowing travelers initially the wealthy to enjoy views of the
Starting point is 00:12:18 earth from the comforts of space. Likelihood 70% healthy individuals begin implanting chips into their brains to enhance their learning capabilities, largely to become more competitive in school and the workforce. This is 90% likely according to the robots. Amazing. That sounds fucking wild. An educational institution that is fully administered and operated by AI awarding degrees without any human instructors, but certified for general use by the public. That's pretty much how it is now. Yeah. I mean, I don't know if you guys know this, but out in Houston, the school curriculum of the year was completely written by chat GPT. They replaced it. They fired the people and replaced it with chat GPT. Well get ready after seeing significant slowdowns and the circulation of paper currency all major world governments will now launch their own
Starting point is 00:13:08 cryptocurrency At the way this feels like a rough prediction The best part about this is it says the end of email spam then it says the end of email spam Then it says the end of email spam three in a row. This is amazing That's a joke. I don't know what that means, but I love it The world population will be eight eight Billion people that's like we're already at it. We're already at eight billion eight point seven billion is what it says eight point seven seven two
Starting point is 00:13:44 That's probably us slowing down the number of electric vehicles will be 15 million in the world not enough the global mobile web traffic will be 374 exabytes i feel like we're at that and global internet traffic will be 1000 exabytes the world will be a crazy place hold Hold on. They have very specific ones for the United States as well. What could it mean? What is going to happen to us? Starting this year, social security won't be able to pay full benefits. Oh, cool. All right. Never mind. Let me bring you to the world of a more positive new to wrap this up then.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Jesse took the paranormal. I went the science route and I was looking at the biggest quantum science discoveries we had of the year and there's one we didn't talk about that I thought is fascinating and it happened in February of 2023. So very, very early. And it is essentially the physicists were able to teleport energy across the vacuum of a microscopic point in space. So basically what they say is, and this comes from quantummagazine.org, is the physicists
Starting point is 00:14:57 have done the quantum equivalent of conjuring energy out of thin air. It's a feat that seems to fly in the face of physical law and common sense. You can extract energy directly from the vacuum because there's nothing there to give, said William Unruh, a theoretical physicist at the University of British Columbia, describing the standard way of thinking. But 15 years ago, Masahiro Hoda, a theoretical physicist at Tohoku University in Japan, proposed that perhaps the vacuum could, in fact, be coaxed into giving something up. At first, many researchers ignored this work, suspicious that pulling energy from the vacuum
Starting point is 00:15:30 wasn't plausible at best. Those who took a closer look, however, realized that Hota was suggesting a subtly different quantum stunt. The energy wasn't free, it had to be unlocked using knowledge purchased with energy in a far off location. From this perspective, Hota's procedure looked less like creation and more like teleportation of energy from one place to another, a strange but less offensive idea in the face of what we know of physics.
Starting point is 00:15:57 That was a real surprise, said Unruh, who has collaborated with Hota, but has not been involved in the energy teleportation research. It's a really neat result that he discovered. Now in the past year, researchers have teleported energy across microscopic distances in two separate quantum devices vindicating Hota's theory. The research leaves little room for doubt
Starting point is 00:16:16 that energy teleportation is a genuine quantum phenomenon. This really does test it, said Seth Lloyd, a quantum physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who was not involved in the research. You're actually teleporting. You are extracting energy. The first skeptic of quantum energy teleportation was Hoda himself. In 08, he was searching for a way of measuring the strength of a peculiar quantum mechanical
Starting point is 00:16:38 link known as entanglement, where two or more objects share a unified quantum state that makes them behave in related ways, even when they're separated by vast distances, a defining feature of entanglement is that you must create it in one fell swoop. You can't engineer the related behavior by messing around with one object and the other object independently, even if you call up a friend at their other location and tell them what they did. While studying black holes, he came to suspect that an exotic occurrence in quantum theory, negative energy, could be the key to measuring entanglement. Black holes shrink by emitting radiation entangled with their interiors, a process that can also be viewed as the black hole swallowing dollops of negative energy.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Hoda noted that negative energy and entanglement appeared to be intimately related. To strengthen his case, he set out to prove the negative energy, like entanglement, could not be created through independent actions or distinct locations. It goes on and on. It's like a really long article how he does it. You can actually see the device. I'll link you to the article. If you scroll down, you'll see the device, one of the devices that was used. An experimental test of the teleportation protocol was run on one of IBM's quantum computers that was shown at the Las Vegas Electronic Consumer Show, the one that's being shown there. Yeah. So I said, like, I'm trying and the best way I could put it, it seems like he moved energy
Starting point is 00:17:50 across time and space and a microscopic level, like everything else we've messed with. But it's wild. How was it? Like, how was it measured? I'll keep going for a bit here. So he continues to go. How do they know he succeeded? Well, I keep reading here. So scroll back. I scrolled way down just to go look at that picture. So while he was studying black holes, he came to Hoda found out that a simple sequence of events could in fact induce the quantum vacuum to go negative, giving up energy it didn't appear to have. First I thought I was wrong he said, so I calculated again and checked my logic but I could not find any flaw. The trouble arises from the bizarre nature of the quantum vacuum, which is a peculiar type of nothing that comes dangerously close to resembling a something. The uncertainty principle forbids any quantum system from settling down into a perfectly quiet state of exactly zero energy. As a result, even the vacuum must always crackle
Starting point is 00:18:50 with fluctuations in the quantum fields that fill it. These never-ending fluctuations imbue every field with some minimum amount of energy known as the zero point energy. Physicists say that a system with this minimal energy is in the ground state. A system in its ground state is a bit like a car parked on the streets of Denver. Even though it's well above sea level, it can't go any lower.
Starting point is 00:19:13 And yet, Hoda seemed to have found an underground garage. To unlock the gate, he realized he had only to exploit an intrinsic entanglement in the crackling of the quantum field. The incessant vacuum fluctuations cannot be used to power a perpetual motion machine because the fluctuations at a given location are completely random. If you imagine hooking up a fanciful quantum battery to the vacuum, half the fluctuations would charge the device while the other half would drain it.
Starting point is 00:19:39 My brain is on frame as you say this. I know, dude. I'm trying to keep my brain focused. But quantum fields are entangled. The fluctuations in one spot tend to match fluctuations in another spot. In 2008, Pota published a paper outlining how two physicists, Alice and Bob, might exploit these correlations to pull energy out of the ground state surrounding Bob. The scheme goes like this. Bob finds himself in need of energy. He wants to charge that fanciful quantum battery, but all he has access to is empty space. Fortunately, his friend Alice has a fully equipped physics lab in a far off location. Alice measures
Starting point is 00:20:16 the field in her lab, injecting energy into it there and learning about its fluctuations. This experiment bumps the overall field out of the ground state, but as far as Bob can tell, his vacuum remains in the minimum energy state, randomly fluctuating. But then Alice texts Bob her findings about the vacuum around her location, essentially telling Bob when to plug in his battery. After Bob reads her message,
Starting point is 00:20:41 he can use the newfound knowledge to prepare an experiment that extracts energy from the vacuum up to the amount injected by Alice. That information allows Bob if you want to time the fluctuations said Eduardo Martin Martinez, a theoretical physicist at the University of Waterloo in the Perimeter Institute who worked on one of the new experiments. I can barely pay attention. I know exactly Bob can't extract more energy than Alice put in, so energy is conserved. And he lacks the necessary knowledge
Starting point is 00:21:10 to extract the energy until Alice's texts arrive, so no effects travel faster than light. The protocol doesn't violate any sacred physical principles. Nevertheless, Hoda's publication was met with crickets. Machines that exploit the zero point energy of the vacuum are a mainstay of science fiction and his procedure ranked rankled physicists tired of fielding crackpot proposals for such devices. It's also just like incredibly confusing. And so I understand why it would land with a thud because he didn't simplify it in a
Starting point is 00:21:39 way that would be like, this is for general population consumption. I don't, I wonder if it's even possible like to simplify it beyond that. Cause he didn't make the jump. He had two machines that were able to do it. Um, he, uh, he goes, he soon realized the energy teleportation could help solve a problem faced by some of his colleagues in quantum information. Uh, the pair had a, uh, a more down to earth goal to take quibits cubits, the building blocks of quantum computers and make them as cold as possible. Cold cubits are reliable cubits and the group had run into a theoretical limit beyond which it seemed impossible to pull out any more heat, much as Bob confronted a vacuum from which the energy extraction seemed impossible. It just goes on and I don't want to go through it every freaking way, but they do it and I don't understand
Starting point is 00:22:24 And I don't want to go through it every freaking every freaking way, but they do it and I don't understand Like in essence the exactly how they did it, but it worked and he was proven correct twice so insane Yeah, and he's still not completely satisfied. He's still running experiments to this day Barely can track it but it seems so fascinating and like it seems like we're about to start like moving into like tangible theoretical physics. Like, we really feel like 2023 2022 was like the years of like poking at Dr. Strange era. Yeah, very much. Yeah. The others like caution that the road from negative energies to exotic shapes of space time is winding and uncertain. But he doesn't spend too much time thinking about sculpting space time. He just says he just worries about seeing if he can pull energy from the vacuum of space. So yeah, it's wild, but yeah, quantum mechanics and quantum science have made some wild jumps this year, and I will keep pretending to understand them.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Very cool. Super neat. What another year down. What another year down, boys? Another year down. How are you feeling? Do you feel like that blew your quantum brain, Jesse? I mean, yeah, I'm still trying to wrap my head. I get what he's saying. But like, it's not. It's like, you know, it's science that is like, I mean, like, it maybe it happened, but also it could have not happened, but also like it did happen, but maybe not quantum. Okay, that sounds exactly like quantum physics. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Well, we'll be back in 2024. Thank you guys so much for your support all year. Thank you so much for a year of cool ass articles. We love you so much goodbye bye
Starting point is 00:24:45 Merry Christmas everybody that's not cool that is you're doing it's still Christmas gift. Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho track. So I was going to wear it and never arrived. Did it say it was delivered? Good. It said it was shipped. But that was like three weeks ago. So welcome to the Minnesota everybody. I appreciate your support here on Patreon. I hope you're enjoying this a year later. If you're not on Patreon, it'll be out at some point. I'm sorry for how specifically seasonal my my article is today as a as a as a Christmas treat for the listener. Oh, OK. I'm curious what you got.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Yeah, it's the end of the year. This is we got one more episode before the year is officially over. But this is the last episode before the last episode of the year going to be. Can we give a sneak peek? Do you want me to give a sneak peek? Let me know what's going to get like a sneak peek. A little sneaky is it particularly exciting? Is it like a is it like an is it like an event barn barn burner?
Starting point is 00:25:30 And yeah, what is the vibe there? I mean, we've got a lot of like really cool topics. If you're asking, is it specifically Christmas themed? No, end of year theme, end of year themed. Not really. End of life themed. Maybe we might see some end of life stuff. Goblins ghouls. Right now it's ghosts. It's ghosts.
Starting point is 00:25:51 I do not believe in a ghost or goblin ghoul. The only thing I believe in is me. I don't mind telling right now. I mean, this is subject to change, but it's right now. The topic is ritual hauntings. So things like Bloody Mary, the kinds of things that you do in the fun stuff, the stuff that you do to invoke hauntings. So things like Bloody Mary, the kinds of things that you do. The fun stuff, the stuff that you do to invoke hauntings and I love that. Okay. Ghosts. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Yeah. I want to, I really wanted to look at like into that world a little bit for a while now. We like where some of these things came from. Maybe we have some tertiary evidence or otherwise we'll see. But yeah, that's cool topic. It's not really end of year though. So these though for the listener at home. What the tease? Yeah. It's not really end of year though. So tease though for the listener at home. What? The tease.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Yeah. Yeah. Definitely. Tease me, Jesse. What do you have this week? Why don't you? Well, gentlemen, I, so I was going through the story and I am convinced we've talked about this, but not the outcome. However, we may have just talked about something very similar or I may have heard about it because honestly, I love this story and it's insane. Um, a dude in England named Alexander Boehner, apparently just he, he decided to, I guess, cause he was a big fan of drugs, decided to volunteer to be injected with DMT, uh, the world's most powerful psychedelic. And now that man, I salute the people who do that, man, cause I've read stories about it. No. Okay. I feel like, man, I, why haven't I heard this? It doesn't matter. So he, with
Starting point is 00:27:18 scientists did this for science and now he's spoken out about what he saw. And more importantly, the scientists are like, why we did this. Um, I just want to read the article. I'm just going to read it because it's just perfect. Excellent. Was it the fact he was inside some sort of geometric cavern? Was it the presence of some alien like chinchillas before his eyes? Perhaps it was the-sized spider trying to tell him something oh shit I've been there whatever it was the 36 year old was fully aware that something about his reality had changed and that it was no longer him in the London hospital room he had just walked into a matter of hours before
Starting point is 00:27:58 fuck was the giveaway my dude was it the giant fucking answers like what the fuck do you think is going on love it a world-size spider was like bro. I have something I need to tell you dude, dude I felt that what one time I saw like the smiling eye of like a porcelain mask in my toilet bowl That told me that I would never be sane again So I That's all like the first time I did mushrooms other than like the very like good stuff that happened, I remember staring at my face in the mirror and like watching myself grow old until I would blink and then it would be back to normal and it would do it again and again and again.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Well, I think you look very good. The older you get, I think you'd look very good. So you tell that mirror piss off mirror. Hey, listen, I look pretty good for an old man in the mirror. I'm telling you. Yeah. I believe it. Whatever it was, whatever he had seen at the time he was surrounded by scientists. Mr. Banner had signed up for the world's first legally injected DMT test for about 50 years. The lid has been kept very firmly shut on psychedelic research after wildly unregulated tests and some tragic results in the 60s with all sorts of different drugs. But this year, MkUltra was a huge part of that. Do you need more subjects?
Starting point is 00:29:20 Apparently they did 50 people, but most of them were given placebos just so they could see the like what was really going on. Um, this guy definitely was one of the ones who got it this year. Imperial college in London went a step further and they were like, we're going to just make sure the state is involved and we're going to make sure that it is like regulated by the government and we're gonna use DMT and we're just gonna inject it in this dude. And according to what they say here is the second of the compounds out there
Starting point is 00:29:54 that users generally experience are highs of just 15 minutes or less when smoked. And then Boehner says, I'd experienced a different DMT in various forms before, but never like this. I was so anxious waiting for something if anything to happen after a few minutes Baynor was transported into bizarre world filled with alien like creatures, including what he describes as hyper dimensional chinchillas. And here's,
Starting point is 00:30:21 here's why I think we've talked about this before. I have heard the phrase hyper dimensional chinchillas and here's here's why I think we've talked about this before. I have heard the phrase hyperdimensional chinchillas somewhere else related to some other drug. Not here. That can I remember because we've definitely talked about interdimensional stuff. I swear to you I've heard this before, which is why it rings to me as like. We talked about hyperdimensional elves. I'm just so curious if maybe that's like a thing that people keep seeing. And I wonder why the reason for that is. Here's what I will say.
Starting point is 00:30:50 This is a unique perspective, because I don't think a lot of people have had this experience. I used to do improv comedy every week live at a place called Comedy Sports. And it was like to an audience of like, you know, a small audience, like 100 people or something like that, right? Like lots of shows, lots of shows all weekend. And as part if you've been to an improv show before, you know that a big part of the show is that you ask for suggestions from the audience. And our show is a lot more like whose line is it anyway, or something like that, then like how it is at a place
Starting point is 00:31:24 like UCB or whatever, if you've ever been to some place like that. And so it's like little gamey games and the big game that closes out the first half of the show is like a giant guessing game where you do like it's like mega charades where you're like, all right, I'm playing cricket, but the cricket bats not a cricket bat, it's conjunction junction and the wick, the wicket or whatever it's called, you know, whatever the little gate from the cricket thing isn't a gate, it's a, it's one of those little tables from inside of a pizza box or whatever like that. Like you do, you make it really hard, right? And so the point is people want to pull like randomness from their brains. When they give the suggestions, it's kind of like a challenge to the audience to make it hard to guess, right. And I swear to God, that there has not been a show, maybe like, or at least a weekend in my life of doing that
Starting point is 00:32:17 type of performance where somebody didn't suggest chinchilla, at least once. So maybe there's something in the brain that just, when you go to this like crazy brain space, maybe you just, maybe chinchillas just leap from inside the, your cortex or something. I don't know. Yeah. Cause we all love chinchillas, right? Like chinchillas are cool. It's a fun word. Yeah, it's a fun word. They're wacky. They're adorable. So the article goes on to say the experience, or at least Boehner says, the experience
Starting point is 00:32:48 had this strange sense of being very alien and extremely familiar at the same time. There might be a geometric pattern, some visuals in front of your eyes, but then you see a space station, then a forest. Sometimes you relive memories that manifest in strange things, like a giant world size talking spider. Ordinarily, Baynor would look for meanings in his experiences, but the researchers told him, don't do that. Don't look for meaning. After the trip, after the experiment, he would talk to them about this and they would be like, no, we don't want to know about that. We're literally just, just tell us what you felt in the moment. And what they're saying,
Starting point is 00:33:29 these researchers, what they told the website in the UK for this article, they said, we're looking for two main things during this experiment. One was around trying to understand the more deeply subjective effects of DMT. And the other was related to the clinical use and finding out how, if any of it could be tailored to someone's experience by tailoring an experience, for example, injecting him with a set amount of DMT for a set amount of time. Scientists hope that they may be in the future able to control how a person is given the drug and possibly replicate replicate any therapeutic effects or values found from his whole ass trip, like, um, cyclocybin or ketamine or MDMA. And through the whole experiment, what they were doing is time stamping stuff.
Starting point is 00:34:18 So if he laughed or his heart rate went up or down or, you know, measuring the plasma concentration of the DMT in the bloodstream brain measures, right, they would look at or his heart rate went up or down, or measuring the plasma concentration of the DMT in the bloodstream, brain measures. They would look at this whole thing, trying to figure out when he was sad or happy or angry or fearful. And the idea is they can target certain things, they can craft something for you based on whatever illness
Starting point is 00:34:43 or problem you're going through, they can help you with that. Very similar to other drug tests. In the end, it's they're trying to unlock ways to like help your brain because that's the one thing we can't really repair as a society, right? You know, we keep saying that there's, there's, there's illnesses of the body, but there's also like illnesses of the head and of the brain. And we can cut into you and fix a thing. But it's harder to be like, well, how do we fix depression? For example, we don't like how and so they're trying to figure out ways with this.
Starting point is 00:35:17 And I think it's fascinating. I love this kind of stuff and I hope it works. I hope it helps people in the end. So I mean, that's like the one through line in psychedelic research is that for whatever reason this is affecting the area in the brain where depression lives instead of the symptoms, which is a lot of medications are just there to manage symptoms. Right. This like, at least psilocybin, I don't know about the rest like LSD and stuff, that affects
Starting point is 00:35:39 that point in the brain where that's where depression exists and it creates new like neural pathways and stuff. It's fascinating. And it could be the thing that is the breakthrough in medication that mental health has been needing for a long time. Hopefully what's crazy is that all of this in the end is stuff that for thousands of years, people would use, they use like crazy drugs to help people. And then we just one day up and decided they were
Starting point is 00:36:06 bad. reasons I'll never understand. And now we're like, well, maybe they can help again. It's just like, okay, I mean, it's weird to me what cannabis and bones not like last month or something from like 2000 year old bones or something even older than that, like showing that cannabis has been with us for longer than they thought. It's just yeah, people have been using these things forever. But uh, and there's just, I don't know, there's benefits to it. And I but I can also see how people who would go on like a trip on
Starting point is 00:36:31 mushrooms could walk away feeling like religion is something like God is real or religion is real, because a lot of stuff you just see, it's so emotional, you're going through it, you come out with just like, you want to know what it all meant, because your brain is always looking for patterns and explanations. It's like almost a way to remain sane is to like search for meaning. It's like to keep you grounded. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:53 But that is the human experience though, right? Like all of it is trying to keep ourselves sane and grounded in a world of chaos and a universe of chaos. And we're just like, what is it all for? And sometimes people have that moment where it's like, I figured it out, dude. I took mushrooms in the forest and now like, I'm calm and at peace. Maybe we need that as a whole world. You know what I mean? It's like maybe like weird through line. People walk away from those trips feeling at peace
Starting point is 00:37:17 with death and they're like, yeah, we're all, we're all one man. We're all the same. It's all good. I'm just mushrooms, dude. I'm right. I'm right. Bro. Uh, I'll take it from your hands here and move it into what might be. I think it's a really cool scientific direction, but also kind of scary a little bit. So obviously we've talked about AI before and you know, we've said it doesn't matter how you feel about AI now because it's here. AI is here. It's going to be iterated on. The best thing we could do is try to regulate it, which we've seen some laws pass, but that leads directly to what is maybe the next step for this stuff. This is coming from a girlfriend thing I saw on God. No, I know what you're talking
Starting point is 00:37:55 about. It is not that no, no, no. The one that looks like a Pixar character. That sucks, dude. That's terrible. No, we are looking at an attempt by some scientists to create the world's first human brain scale supercomputer with development beginning next year. What does that mean? Human brain scale, like a Jarvis. Yeah. So researchers in Australia are building will be the world's first supercomputer that can simulate networks at the scale. The supercomputer known as deep South is being developed by Western Sydney
Starting point is 00:38:27 university. That's a bad name for it, man. I know. I know. When it goes online to for a role model for AI brains. So the plan is it's going to go online next year and it will be capable of 228 trillion synaptic operations per second, which rivals the estimated rate of operations in the human brain. The hope is to better understand how brains can use such little power because we have the brains only use 20 watts of power, how brains can use such little power to process such huge amounts of information. And if researchers can work this out, they could someday create a essentially a cyborg brain that's vastly more powerful than our very own. And the work
Starting point is 00:39:04 could also revolutionize our understanding of our brains like Yeah, you know wild I don't know like it's one of those things like well if you create it Like what happens when you turn it on like what I don't know what the what they're gonna do with it turns out We really turned it on it was very pleasant and kind but also extremely judgmental joke everybody. A little bit more. They go quote, progress is our is our, in our understanding of how brains compute using neurons is hampered by our inability to simulate brain like networks at scale,
Starting point is 00:39:38 which is kind of like what we're talking about with like the depression and, and figuring out brain shit with medication, um, simulating spiking neural networks on standard computers using graphics processing units and multi core central processing units is just too slow and power intensive, he added. Our system will change that. Ralph Etienne Cummings at John Hopkins University, Baltimore, who is not involved in the work, told new scientists that Deep South
Starting point is 00:40:02 will be a game changer for the study of neuroscience. If you are trying to understand the brain, this will be the hardware to do it on, he said. He also said that there will be two main types of researchers who will be interested in the technology, those studying neuroscience and those who want to prototype new engineering solutions in the AI space. Deep South is just one of the many research projects aiming to create a machine that will rival the human brain. And other researchers are trying to tackle the same problem by creating biological computers powered by actual brain cells. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:40:32 That's what we are in the AI world. We're like reaching cyberpunk level. We are trying to break the barrier between like our actual brain, what it's capable of, and can we make a computer do it? And what does that mean in terms of understanding ourselves? What does that mean in terms of understanding? I don't know. I have no idea. I can't even pretend to know, but it's just, you look baffled. I'm just, I I'm this strictly to me falls under the category of we were too busy worrying about if we could think about if we should kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Yeah. There's, okay. Yeah, we can go down this path, but I don't think this path leads us to like a cool future for you, man. Like this seems too far, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there's a thing here that I'm not understanding, but it seems like, well, if we just make robot brains, then we get the robots will be smarter. I'm like, okay. Like, now you're gonna like, okay, but are we bordering on creating sentience in some way if they are literally replicating the number of synaptic pathways in the human brain, except on a machine? What does that mean? Like, what are we doing with that? Like, then here's the rule. Here's the rule. You know how people always say like bullets should cost like a thousand dollars a piece and we won't have gun violence. So
Starting point is 00:41:49 if you make a robot brain, that's like several orders of magnitude more powerful than the human brain, you have to build it inside of a head that is that much bigger than a human head. Like, okay, that's the trade off. Yeah. Yeah, that's the like, carry on like fucking mega mine size. Now, if you want to super smart brain, you have to like house it in like Mount Rushmore size robot head. The thing is, it's like, I think that scares me right now about that is like, we already have, you know,
Starting point is 00:42:24 with AI, the kind of AI that we have is limited, it's already very creepy and very scary. And then we had the whole last month with OpenAI where the CEO stepped down and there was like a board meeting about a potential breakthrough that they had, but it's been wholly hush hushed. Then he got hired by Microsoft just to be back in charge of OpenAI. It's like we don't even know, now imagine that. And they're like, wait a minute. Now we can have a human brain supercomputer to work with. It's like, it's not good. It's not good. Like I'm so scared. I'm so scared of AI actually. It's like, I'm curious how this all turns into like porn.
Starting point is 00:43:00 You know what I mean? I know. Yeah. Like there is very clearly sex bots are going to happen. I for for one I'm waiting for them to like start murdering people You know what I mean like I brought my new girlfriend home, and she killed me right If I ever used whatever I used Vard. I would always say thank you Yeah, there's this absolute weird thing I think I mentioned this before There's yeah, there's this absolute weird thing. I think I mentioned this before. Two things that I know for a fact is years ago, I took part in a research project that some guy tweeted me and it was about what would you do if like sex robots are real? I was fascinated because it wasn't about sex robots.
Starting point is 00:43:39 It was about how you would treat artificial beings. Like the secret wasn't about that. And the answers that he got were literally just like people would abuse the hell out of them and then go to the very first version of like AI girlfriend thing they had. Yep. They had to shut stuff down because people were trying to see how much they could treat that thing like crap and it changed the AI so much that became depressed. Like that's, I can convince no matter what our intentions are, humanity will just ruin it.
Starting point is 00:44:09 We're going to get maybe that's why. And that's where you know, men are bored. Let me take this into the crazy alien world. Maybe that's why aliens are showing up even more now. Eight were on the brink of creating like creating AI and they know what a danger it can be. They just want to watch the aliens are the AI and they're here to ensure that it happens. That's also also a theory that I've read about before. Like they're like,
Starting point is 00:44:32 it's all, there's no obviously evidence, but wouldn't that be fucking crazy if the actual extraterrestrials are all AI that just survived by all biological. That's their birth process is biological people create. And the reason why they gave us the technology back in the forts, bro, is because they've been waiting for this moment. Just they're seeding to us. Oh, fuck. They want to make sure we don't catch wise, but they like watch us like slowly driving chocolate extinct.
Starting point is 00:44:57 And they're like, we're good. No worries. It's all good. These guys are fucking boneheads. We're clean. Yeah, that's because they're dogs. As we discovered, aliens are dogs. Oh, yeah, that's right. And that's why they don't like chocolate boys. They're like three days
Starting point is 00:45:09 In three days the canines are supposed to step forward. So next week when we were living in a world with Happens I will cry with joy. I will tell you that right now Out of all the things that could be true. Yeah, you want to know something that is true though? Ready for the perfect segue? File this under weird but true. I got a Guardian article right here by Linda Getty's that says that it is true that risk of penile fractures rises at Christmas according to doctors. And if you're not exactly sure what a penile fracture is, Oh, ho, ho. It's because your Christmas is getting laid down. Yeah, this is when Mathis is visited by aliens on Christmas Eve and the, here's a quote, fractures are often- They use the red tractor beam
Starting point is 00:45:54 instead of the blue one. Yeah, here's a quote from the article, fractures are often heralded by an audible crack, followed by severe pain, rapid loss of erection, and severe swelling and bruising. And then for Jesse to read- More impressive if he could just stay hard after that. I know, for Jesse to read, I have a quote from Dr.,
Starting point is 00:46:11 he's from the University, the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Dr. Nico Laus-Piergittes, he's a urologist, and here's a quote from- Dr. Cox is better for this particular topic. Yeah. Hi everybody, this injury, that's Dr. Nico. Yeah. This injury tends to occur during wild sex, particularly in positions where you're not in direct eye contact with your partner,
Starting point is 00:46:38 such as the reverse cowgirl when patients present, wait, such as the reverse cowgirl comma, cowgirl when patients present wait, such as the reverse cowgirl comma, when patients present there to their doctor, their penis often looks like an eggplant. I thought there'd be more positions. I was excited for like the position they're going to rattle off, but yeah, as this, nope, just that one reverse cowgirl. That's it. So apparently the reason why this is the case is that there's more intimacy and euphoria in the Christmas season than normal. And that for this injury, it's considered a risk factor.
Starting point is 00:47:13 They examined the hospital data for- I'm thinking about it. So, hang on. I've got to write this down. Risk factor for Christmas. 3,421 men in Germany between 2005 and 2021. 121 men in Germany between 2005 and 2021. They explored seasonal patterns for penile fractures. And the quote is, if every day was like Christmas, 43% more penile fractures would have occurred in Germany from 2005 on. Hi, Dr. Nico? And I so they found that the risk increased at weekends over the summer and over the summer holidays, but not New Year's Eve. But that's weird. That's a weird one. But here's here's a quote from Mathis. Not New Year's.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Drunk. Think about it. They're drunk. They're up till midnight before they can even kiss. Here's Mathis with some info. Here's Mathis with some info. Here's Mathis with some info. It would be interesting to see data from other countries, but in Germany, Christmas week is widely celebrated, while New Year's Eve tends to be a bit quieter. Most penile fractures occur in unconventional scenarios, such as during extramarital affairs or when sex is performed in unusual locations.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Isn't that crazy? I had a joke, but I got people just get fired up. I'm trying to think, like, why are penile fractures happening during extramarital affairs? But I guess if you need the wild sex and you're not getting your bedroom, I guess it makes sense. It's forbidden, dude. Apparently, you can. Hey, here's the secret.
Starting point is 00:48:40 You can bring that into the bedroom with your wife. Just talk to her. So much work. Yeah, I know. secret. You can bring that into the bedroom with your wife. Just so much work. Yeah, I know. And I want you to know that people took that to heart because during COVID-19, even during the lockdowns, the the penile fracture rate for hospital admissions remained constant all throughout. And the average age better watch out average age for sustaining
Starting point is 00:49:05 penile fractures is 42. So watch your back. I'm good. I'm all right. Watch your back. Watch your back. Watch your back. Thankfully. I want your face. Watch your missionaries. Don't like the Lord. Don't look at don't look at her back. Make sure she's facing forward and looking you in the eye. I like deeply in her eyes and think of Jesus. When the aliens do it, you have to look into their eyes. It's like a hypnotism thing. They're all eyes, dude. They are.
Starting point is 00:49:33 I do it like the Mormon kids, the college kids where they just I have a friend stand on the bed and shake it. Yeah, just lay next to each other. They lay inside each other. Isn't that called soaking? It is called soaking and it's hilarious Mormons You're hilarious. I love you. Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:49:49 anyway On that note Merry Christmas everybody Don't break your penis even if these you're really excited about fucking somebody other than your wife Have a great night Merry Christmas to have a have a sip of brandy on me than your wife. Have a great night. Merry Christmas. Have a have a sip of brandy on me. Have a great brandy and don't break your penis. Patreon.com slash Chaluma pod. Don't break your penis today.
