Ask A Genius 754: Richard May Credit for John Brennan

[Recording Start]

Scott Douglas Jacobsen: “I think some of the phenomenon we’re going to be seeing and continues to be unexplained, and might in fact be some type of phenomenon that is the result of something we don’t yet understand” that’s ex-CIA director, John Brennan. That was sent to me by Richard May, who’s the current co-editor of Noesis, the Journal of the Mega Society and long term member of the Mega Society. 

Rick Rosner: So the ex CIA director is saying that some of the shit that might be going on in the world might be due to a phenomenon that we don’t yet know of.

Jacobsen: Yeah. So, I think some of the phenomena we’re going to be seeing continues to be unexplained and might in fact be some type of phenomenon that is the result of something that we don’t yet understand. 

Rosner: So, he’s taking a lot of words and reusing phenomenon to say there’s shit we don’t yet understand. That’s very topical because today the Congress, I guess the House, I don’t know if it was the house or the Senate, it doesn’t matter, had hearings on UFOs and they showed previously un-shown clips of UFOs taken from like fighter jets and shit like that. I looked at a little bit of it and the clips are like, they’re not garbage-y, like they honestly kind of inspire a certain amount of wondering what the fuck is going on but I still go with the thing that it’s not fucking aliens, it’s not a super weapon from another country or an advanced civilization. It’s some atmospheric phenomenon that makes something out there look like a material thing but it’s not, it’s a reflection or some kind of lightning or some kind of shit because one of the characteristics of a UFO is defying the rules of physics, particularly the rules of acceleration that a UFO will just go from hauling ass to stopping dead to hauling ass in a different direction in an instant.

Material objects can’t do that. They have to decelerate or they have apply force over time to change their velocity vector. So the very thing that makes the mysterious UFOs makes it unlikely that you’re looking at a material object. So I remain unconvinced UFOs for that reason and for, which is kind of a circular not a reason really, but the other reason is why the fuck would other civilizations send shit to spy on us. It just seems dumb and a waste. The number one reason that a civilization would send shit to fuck with us or spy on us would be lunatic artists from other civilizations who defy cost-benefit analysis, who do stupid shit for the sake of doing stupid shit and that would be the only way to justify fucking with some fucking ridiculous planet 120 light years away. 

So now in terms of what, yeah of course there’s shit we don’t understand. We’ve talked forever about the shit we don’t understand, mostly in the area of informational cosmology with what it says about the universe and what it says about consciousness. And I think consciousness is the biggest we don’t understand thing in general that remains but there’s a lot more shit that we will come to understand this based on processing Big Data using doing science via machine learning and AI. We found all the easy correlations in the world by using super Big Data to find things via crazily intricate Big Data, the correlations that live in huge ass data.
