The Daphne laserdisc arcade had a lot more "unknown" games.






A competitor to Laserdisc was called VHD (giant floppy) and Time Gal was one of those made into an arcade (and since I never heard of the laserdisc version I looked it up.)

Ryan Mathew Parr Feb 7, 2021

I was discussing the concept of a soul to someone and he responded with, "Schopenhauer expounds on a theory that all things outwardly are the manifestation and objectification of an a priori will. Such a will is the thing in itself and the unconscious and primordial guiding force behind all our actions and explanations."

He used Schopenhauer's philosophy as a way to define his concept of a soul, and what I expound on is below.
Schopenhauer's "a priori soul" is contingent on the "will to live" and the actions that derive from an atavistic nature, concomitant with self-selection; that things like asceticism and war is intrinsic to the absence of that "will to live," and reproduction, are all interrelated with a dopaminergic relation to "reward" which gets supplanted by a self-affirming existential crisis anathema to competing for factional relation to ennui.

My argument. ‘Do souls exist?;’ which would presuppose that consciousness is exogenous, to how society generally understands physical matter—representing the physical and biological process, necessitating the expression of sentient beings and identity—integral to an ontological basis for matter existing throughout the universe akin to the viewpoints of panpsychism, ergo more modern arguments (such as Goff and Hoffman.)

It's generally arguing that our interrelation to thoughts and ideas are dualistic to how we identify with belief in something, ("Ceci n'est pas une pipe" as Rene Magritte might say,) and yet we identify with something because either it's the molecular identity we find a remnant of that thought process' tangible association--is all that we recognize to be true--whether it forms from some inchoate development associated with a primitive byproduct of interaction (as per biochemical makeup up of how we define consciousness.)

People might subsume that identifiers such as "soul" is more tangible when depicted in a "picture" much like religious confluence, instead of its simplest construct rooted in a framework of "belief in belief," based on human nature from an ethical standpoint of social-identity and socially-engineered behavior; which might otherwise be summed up as an addiction to chemicals in the brain, and the need to survive (and much of the absence of the will to live is really just the conservation of resources that would otherwise be based on resource attrition and behavioral reinforcements, and consequences for actions which could be learned responses resulting from an unreliable prior experience with a fear-based outcome.)

What I'm really proposing is the concept of a "template for consciousness" (which might need to further analyze, what "consciousness" is,) which seems to exist indifferent to a biological mechanism (based on proof that EVP and non-corporeal consciousness exists and demonstrates clear evidence when studied,) which is nevertheless like a "ghost in the machine (of physical construct which seems to bring about consciousness,)" appearing to influence subatomic relation to their expected outcome as presupposed by known physical laws.

That within physics an observer-effect exists which seems to interface with the outcome of actions, akin to a holographic universe concept, that "exists because we exist (to observe it.)" Much as "does a tree falling in a forest not make a sound?" which can only "exist" because it is something readily apparent to our observation (and perhaps because we observe its effect do we know it to be true?) If we only exist as a byproduct of chemicals in the brain we are merely the effluence of subatomic particles, which have organized themselves based on natural order, out from the chaos of entropy in solar explosions which simply "reorganized" how such particles existed from their earlier (undisturbed) state. What "soul" is in its purest form is a word used to characterize a belief in an afterlife, which assumes that "consciousness" only exists because our understanding of "life" exists as a physical construct, when in reality the nature of static particles exists because a template for that "identity" has become a stationary byproduct of physical matter.

I was looking into whether Baba Anujka (Ana di Pištonja of Yugoslavia) the 90 year-old serial killer inspired the popular depiction of witches as shown in Zelda.
https://www.vintag.es/2021/06/baba-anujka.html

Baba Yaga is named after mythical folklore in Russia that predates her arrest, though probably was the inspiration for her nickname.

Mass-appeal and cultivated cults-of-personality hold more sway with the popularization of media consumption, but also the “perfect storm” of attention often plays a role in why very specific types of people will confabulate and find the motivation to lie. Those who doubt the person is lying might be intimidated to question people especially those who willingly choose to dupe themselves in drinking the “Kool-aid” as it were.

People like Billy Meier very clearly photographed a TV screen of a music group on a talk show and passed it off as a Pleiadian encounter, even convincing the singer who discovered this uncanny resemblance to themself that nothing was suspicious, while also his wife of many decades has attested to being pressured to lie, claiming things like Billy had a visit by ‘Ptaah,’ which might as well be a human-looking version of L. Ron Hubbards Zenu but without historic mythology to base it on. Prior to some elaborate camera work with UFO’s Billy fabricated a purported ‘Talmud of Jmmanuel’ “written by Judas Iscariot” which was apparently unfinished and made into 5 revisions, and no scholarly oversight.

Zecharia Sitchin similarly isn’t reputable as he would embellish things with historical context and popularize it, much like Erich von Däniken has more criticism than aplomb when looking through the Wikipedia article. Alternatively, you also have many books written around the 1950s by various people that would be written as a pseudonym purporting authenticity, such as attributing ‘Doctor’ to the name and claiming to be a channeled historic sage that was imparting some ancient Vedic text with really bad schematic designs of Vimanas/spacecraft, or further you have people claiming to channel the ‘Emerald Tablets of Thoth’ (based on Egyptian Thoth which further inspired a Greek variation of ‘Hermes-Trismegistus’ aka Mercury, and I tend to think of this as more allegorical to death rituals being he was a psychopomp—or guide of souls—and DMT released in the brain and how ancient Egyptians interpreted meaning in context with obscure experiences people were fascinated with.) Basically, people are taking advantage of modern contextualizing and using a subject matter that is often sensationalized and given different scrutiny as people gradually acclimate their understanding of the subject.
Travis Walton is someone I wanted to believe as it seemed from claims of “evidence” like tree ring growth patterns enlarging towards a very specific area the encounter took place, in the area he claims a UFO had visited and shot a beam of light which he seems to deviate from as to “why,” and then elaborates on something that they may have visited that area by speculating that electric storm activity had possibly allowed for strange crystalline rock formations to develop in the ground which they apparently needed. The more I listened to him I realized he was apparently having more and more experiences that sound completely made up, and even unrelated apparently to alien claims, such as while living in a historic home/mansion he bought in Arizona a strange hobbit-like creature was making its presence known (which was in some random interview and not much info seems to pull up online,) but also in a more recent interview he was asked why a high school ‘best friend’ would claim he was going to make up a ufo abduction story, he apparently acknowledged this apparent person was his best friend but also felt like he was betrayed by him. It turns out that this idea of his was carried out when the contract for the lumberjacks was specific to work they knew they couldn’t get done on time, and so pending “unforeseen events” conveniently got out of the contract by making up this story which coincided with the time frame that Travis Walton was gone, so that when he showed up it seems that he was able to get the story straight about what happened, and having to address the belief he had been killed (when the Sherif who took over the investigation to this day doesn’t believe they were telling the truth.) Even though the people involved were able to pass a lie detector test (which apparently Travis Walton failed initially) other than one of them that was apparently not cooperating, it does appear as though they had an incentive to cooperate as if their story wasn’t reasonably suspect than those people would likely have faced fines with the local government.

The former MUFON Director, Jan Harzan was someone who claims to have had an encounter with Ben Rich the Lockheed's Skunk Works Director who was well known in the 1990s to end his speeches with “we can take ET home,” which Harzan then claims to follow him after the show while supposedly others were present to ask him about it and Harzan quips in response to suggest that it happens by all of spacetime being connected by points in time and consciousness which seems highly unusual, though alleges Ben Rich said, “bingo.” On other occasions, this has become elaborated as “We already have the means to travel among the stars (etc.)” which apparently was an iteration of an Alumni Speech in 1993 at UCLA that no one who happened to graduate from there seems to corroborate even though it likely would have been recorded and appears to be a confabulation made by someone randomly on the internet as a lighthearted gesture he would often end his speeches with a joke about the known technology out of Skunkworks which was apparently popularized for whatever motive. Incidentally, Jan Harzan has something in common with Stan Romanek. . .

At certain times it becomes apparent that various groups create a popularized version of what people adopt an interest in and a very specific bias is given without wanting to scrutinize others much as specific people tend to have a reputation that gets overlooked long before the damage is done.

I’ve often wanted to believe people are telling the truth, yet also realize that a lot of my own experiences likely are not going to be believed by others as they do not align with what people accept about physics as well as consciousness (and yet things like the Large Hadron Collider are not able to resolve questions regarding the Standard Model of physics, and if anything they force science to reevaluate what it thinks it understands; in other words we might consider a ‘Law’ of Gravity without knowing how that law even came about and how it interacts from within different aspects of dimensions, which may play some part in our understanding of the nature of paranormal activity, including dark matter/energy which is by far the significant influence prevailing the elusive nature of what we understand the nature of everything around us.

Things like EVP and photography of non-corporeal presence, as well as UFO/UAP phenomenon are undoubtably real. I’ve not only recorded exceptional EVP, I’ve photographed apparition phenomenon, apparent orbs distance away from the camera, and photographed triangular bright UFO phenomeon using night vision goggles and a cell phone along within the same recording found a small object in the sky that enters the frame suddenly and abruptly zooms off at a speed no craft on earth could possibly accomplish (or at least it definitely seems like technology far beyond our capabilities even if it was not a manned craft.) I’ve also seen manifestation of orbs up close and visibly have seen objects disappear within 100 feet from me after I start to wonder why it was hovering over some apartment buildings and start to follow it. I have ZERO incentive to lie and I’ve wondered initially if a large triangular object in 2012 that hovered over the Dallas area was government technology (which might corroborate what Harzan was saying about Ben Rich. . . But I very much don’t believe this is the case,) and after I had seen that object and experienced subsequent experiences that might very well be connected, I encountered (though more remotely) other people like Terry Lovelace who apparently lives in the Dallas area and claimed to have had a sighting with someone in the 1970s near/at the ‘Devil’s Den’ park in Arkansas. I’m aware most of the triangular craft sightings were originating in the late 1980’s at a time when the B-2 bomber was still classified until 1997, and anything until more recent may somehow originate with a similar object, though for the most part has not been substantiated. Terry Lovelace claims his own family doesn’t believe him and he has gone onto write a book which followed-up on his claims. When I called him after being introduced to him through a MUFON Skype session, the person who interacted with me following my belief that Lovelace was not believable and citing some images I found online where he purports his calf area was where implants were placed which he “discovered” following some x-ray he had done, which focused exclusively on his knee cap region instead of what appeared to be bruises to his calf which he claims showed they were removed, and through the skype window a person opened a direct chat and he happened to be a Psychiatrist in the area (who incidentally had Terry Lovelace’s number but he also found me on social media. . .) Most of the conversation seemed to pinpoint other concerns I had with his story in that he seems to suggest he didn’t remember anything with the 1970s but had a sketch that looked like what an 8 year old would draw which he seems to have stored away in a storage space, but that the drawing he shows in the book was actually a redrawn one. Ironically, this all follows after his friend he claims to have been with, named ‘Toby’ in the book had died, and every person connected to it was given a pseudonym. I truly believe the Psychiatrist actually believes his story because Terry has a J.D., and incidentally I was curious about his story because I knew someone with similar credentials and have ties to Arkansas, including the Devil’s Den region, so I’m not sure if he felt personally compelled to reach out.

As for claims of abductees, I believe there is some commonality which cannot easily be explained but MOST ALL do not get implants if any. . . This phenomenon does not involve itself in the way that most people popularly believe, and if anything it leaves a lot needing to be explained.

What was initially suspected to be brain damage from fissures, turns out to have an increase of connection to the areas of the brain (and if people know anything about the human brain they should realize IT IS ANYTHING BUT PREDICTABLE.) Some argue that these changes are the result of actual contact with crafts or objects.

A look inside people’s brains who say they’ve had a UFO encounter

https://nypost.com/2021/12/12/the-brain ... kfU5NSlhQQ

Do cattle mutilations and purported human remains in similar conditions demonstrate normal decay from injuries? Are the numerous sightings around the world by school children prone to embellishing an experience based on popular lore in their areas, or are they experiencing a collective experience based on technology and civilization that understands physics far more than we are capable of understanding? Do people who have no incentive to lie and are familiar with implanted memories and false testimony after showing interest in the subject then feel compelled to carry on with it even if they might unknowingly fallen prey to a group hysteria of some kind? Did the Our Lady of Fátima sightings in 1917 seen by 70,000 people within miles away from this apparent “sun” in the sky become some kind of media circus that made people falsely interpret what was happening? Was something similar occurring with fear and panic about war in the “The Battle of Los Angeles,” occurring during 1942, with what is believed to have been a meteorological balloon, much as people with confronted with impending doom or uncertainty or when intentionally seeking out pattern will inadvertently believe confirmation bias?

Perhaps someone who comes from a very specific “need” may well decide to interpret what they are ready to accept, and it’s in the best interest of society to be able to know when they are being lied to and when they can’t possibly be prepared for what exists.

I dug through files and found one which demonstrates what I’m referring to, specifically battlefield EVP/ITC phenomenon which I believe are from Gettysburg, and what sounds very evidently like marching soldiers (when no one should have been present,) as well as what should be the same person who uploaded a bugle and “Halt Company!” order. It’s as if they are forever repeating their last moments.

I keep on falling asleep or pausing when I watch this (as I stop it and looking into things connected to the subject.)




A comment I was making (for various reasons I believe these topics are actually connected) :
I just wrote a response to someone regarding some of what you are already saying, so I will add a few lines specific to your statements and add the additional message.

Scole (a city in England it’s named after) Experiment
The Scole Criticisms (https://www.thescoleexperiment.com/the- ... cisms.html)

Marcello Bacci post with links and the same video above


I agree that it’s very likely those claiming to “hear the voice of God” and see visions could well be imagining it ( and I tend to believe that certain trauma and experiences could make some people more fantasy-prone, though unless they actually document such a phenomenon, can it generally be assumed they are dubious claims?) I do agree that many people can be considered unreliable witnesses to any phenomenon, and even pointing out common phenomena such as flaws in optical equipment or how audio equipment picks up sound recordings, can be difficult to clear up before any real solid data is accumulated. Few people when questioned about it are willing to elaborate on the questions pertaining to claims, and few are willing to be honest whey they actually doubt what they themselves are saying when faced with contrary evidence.
Regarding interference I’ve noticed a similar effect with radio waves and have experimented with shortwave radio/antenna as well as realized that certain electronic devices can transmit frequencies by indirect or direct interference (and this will be something newer generations will have a hard time relating to as technology is becoming more complicated.) I’ve messed with a meditation device referred to as a “light and sound machine” which had an auxiliary audio input (which can add music to the noises the device makes) and simply putting the finger on the input transmits radio waves from the body. In some ways, you could refer to the body as an antenna, as it is really nothing but a 45-miles of the nervous system if connected end-to-end, and the human brain is possibly more capable than all the computers combined. Some believe this suggests that the human body functions on a quantum level, where some kind of quantum entanglement occurs, and what is left is an aspect of consciousness still preserved and capable of interacting with mass.
Since this will stretch on forever, I’ll just post a shared response I made with similar arguments:
*******************************
The premise you came from with identifying ‘paranormal’ was that people were grasping at tarot cards and seeking soothsayers/fortune tellers, or that they were actively seeking confirmation of some preconceived belief, with a need for affirmation?
That ‘experts’ should be consulted to define things according to words and beliefs, rather than empirical observation of specific phenomenon?
Those within academia are not usually tempted to throw away all the effort it takes to get into a position where “open-mindedness” is tolerated, and the few exceptions are people like Dr. John Mack of Harvard who legitimately believed a phenomenon was taking place with those claiming abduction. The logic of his argument was that people who were seemingly intelligent and rational were behaving consistent with an experience that physiologically changes them (and some MRI studies have been done which actually proves this or at least suggests that a striking similarity emerges in the brain from those claiming such experiences,) Though I’ve not been abducted to my knowledge, I’ve been able to document specific phenomenon such as flying crafts that stop in mid-air and then zoom off, but also have witnessed craft close up that then disappear in front of me. If Top Gun trained pilots are adamant and realize that many objects they spot in the sky are moving in such a way that they couldn’t possibly be a parallax phenomenon, it would suggest from their perspective that excusing it as geese or air balloons is not going to cut it.
The usual argument is that any “evidence” must be fraudulent as surely such a person claiming an experience has somehow not been able to eliminate the possibility that such evidence obtained wasn’t made erroneously, or without potential bias; and no real consensus should exist in determining what is “scientific” if people are being unbiased?

The assumption often works against “logic” and you will find evidence of such things in ecology where people try to understand nature and how to reverse the problem of controlling inputs into problems that mankind continually tries to understand better. If for example, the salmon population is decreasing because of interference with river systems and overfishing, the “logical” thing to do would be to artificially introduce population from hatcheries? Often such introductions will have the opposite effects from salmon conservations, for obvious reasons in hindsight (the new species introduced places the ecosystem out of whack, but also the animals not exposed to the traditional challenges placed on wild animal populations end up causing genetic problems for the healthier wild populations.) If people try to understand human populations they will generally approach such a topic from what seems “rational” and based on assumptions, without any real exposure to hindsight understanding (because surely someone needs something tangible, correct?)
If people have no incentive to actually follow directions on what it takes to analyze a phenomenon, and they want to assume that someone claiming proof of a phenomenon is insane; it would not seem likely that if they themselves find evidence of the phenomenon, that they would have the temerity to go out of their way to face ridicule if they are so determined to “tow the line” of consensus group-think.
The usual argument is that a phenomenon like EVP is a cross-interference EMF phenomenon, necessitating extreme measures to isolate EMF (as even a giant building faraday cage within miles of any electronic device, can contaminate research with things like radio telescopes, not to mention the assumption that some inexpensive recording device somehow very clearly demonstrates clear recorded phenomenon exhibiting intelligent interaction.

Some of what I’ve recorded are here:
Lead evp - Google Drive (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing)
You are probably correct that more whack jobs are involved with claims of the paranormal (and this suggests that even the most “credible” and “credentialed” people in such fields are actually using that outward facade to garner support for what seems to suggest is a less than honest agenda,) fully with the intent to manipulate people. Though I don’t agree with Dr. Mack (I have my reservations even though I’ve interacted with people claiming abductions,) he had more integrity than others like Dr. David Jacobs, Dr. Steven Greer, or Dr. Reinerio Hernandez.
My main belief in some claims stems from various things I’ve experienced, namely sightings of objects on many occasions (which I suggest downloading to view in image viewing software so it doesn’t freeze the gif file.)
Orb movement dissappearance (1).gif ( (this cannot be excused as a celestial phenomenon as it can be observed skipping into frame and noticeably slowing down, and then zooming off at incredible speed)
Triangle UFO Ryan Mathew Parr MUFON 100393 dated 05162019 (2).gif ( (some notes below, I had seen a dark solid triangle ufo in 2012 which also seems to have been recorded and seen by others in my area months from my sighting, and reported elsewhere by many others, including, Author Terry Lovelace J.D. who claims to have seen this in the 1970s—though admittedly I have my doubts about his claims because of some inconsistencies I’ve found in his report—the size of the object is far too big to be anything we could conceal on earth.) I only recorded the night vision and when I was intending to go inside the house in 2012 to get a DSLR camera, I looked back up and saw it had already left from beneath the clouds (though was very clearly visible and most definitely not something our government has been able to acknowledge.)
Perhaps the triangle shape recorded above is the result of being near the edge of a convex lens, or from an aperture somewhere (though neither the lens nor the night vision goggles should have had any triangle aperture as they are not needed, and the Samsung Galaxy 9+ camera are circular aperture as well (meaning the bokeh could not be shaped like a triangle, which is something that Mick West probably did accurately discredit of a recent video released by a Navy personnel, where bright stars also showed a triangle shape; which should have been obvious perhaps?)
Often people erroneously interpret a phenomenon with a mundane understanding of the subject, and the assumption is that people who make such mistakes are not credible, and few are willing to make such mistakes because of the assumption they shouldn’t be reliable.
****************
I’ve gone over a decade generally avoiding this subject because I realize that there are some things people will never fully understand, even if they spent decades questioning what society is prepared to understand with the subject. It’s entirely possible that out of millions of people on this planet only a few are even close to beginning to understand the subject being described here, so I’ve come to the realization that I shouldn’t be too critical of those that may have more solace in coming to their own conclusions. I still find it important that people realize what to expect, though even then I’m not sure it gives any real consolation of comfort, as it is still a very stressful subject to study.

When I got into the topics, what seemed apparent was not (that there are no “experts” and only opinions,) and that there are moments in which yes, you do want an “expert” opinion, but that doesn’t mean that those experts are willing or even able to know when they are wrong (people are blind-sighted by professional bias.) People also get manipulated into trusting people who don’t even know they are lying and perhaps that is what happened to Dr. John E. Mack from Harvard, who believed those claiming certain phenomenon might inadvertently been a product of what strangely coincided with what was becoming a cult of obsession with aliens (akin to religion and cultural phenomenon like the tokoloshe of Africa.)
Incidentally, you might be interested in what Jacques Vallee talks about with the Interdimensional Hypothesis, which questions how cultural influences seem to “create” the specific phenomenon people report. Whether or not this explains what Dr. John Mack investigated with the Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, as some collective hallucination regarding a spacecraft and “alien grays” (I could never find any reference to when the spacecraft lifted off, or why some of the accounts were inconsistent in reports) their were many alleged sightings all across the world including places in Australia; and I’ve known people to claim seeing crafts above them when they were in school, who would later claim an abduction on several occassions.
The human mind can be a tricky subject.

Something I found interesting

Pripyat wasn't entirely abandoned immediately
"However, neither has been entirely empty since 1986. Thousands of people, usually men, have stayed there, often working two-week shifts and ensuring that the crucial infrastructure in both cities continues to function. After the explosion in reactor No. 4, reactors 1, 2 and 3 continued to operate, closing down only in 1991, 1996 and 2000. Special units of the Ukrainian Interior Ministry police the zone. There are also stores and at least two hotels in Chernobyl, which are mainly for business visitors."





Apparently this urbex (subteranean?) explorer lost his powerbank shown in this video, and has some decent videos.
Sub Exploration Channel




They get caught (though not arrested, and the area they were exploring was being built prior to the disaster, so it wasn't then used. Nausea might have been due to nervousness from being there, and they believed they had radiation sickness.)


And the catfish they were talking about near the Chernobyl cooling station.
https://www.earthtouchnews.com/wtf/wtf/ ... n-mutants/

Apparently, people used to cut crosses into the layers of a building foundation and leave valuable coins in between construction of new building (a bit like the cornerstone time capsules in masonic buildings?) An interesting artifact was that parts of a flamethrower were found which is believed to be remnants of when the nazis were in Ukraine, as there were Jewish settlements prior to the power plant being built. Some people returned to this area to live in spite of the radiation levels, and Orthodox churches and monks seem to be residing there to some extent.


It all started with this

This has an English translation, but few people seem to be able to get this emulated (and it seems to require original MSX Turbo R equipment to get it fully functional. The Illusion City game was unplayable though had save files from the ending of the game, so it may just be the hardware I was using.)



Jupiter electronics plant in Pripyat (consumer goods as well as secretly a silicone chip manufacturer and a emergency radiation treatment building up until 1996 after the Chernobyl accident, which I only know of Jupiter as a camera lens manufacturer that took Zeiss equipment following WW2 and copied the biotar and other lens designs,) is something I wasn't aware was affected by Chernobyl.

Rewatched 'Life of Pi' (2012) - a damn fine movie that's made from a damn fine book that qualifies, I believe, as literature and/or art. 5/5

He's local to my area:


The head of (update: Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX not OSU) Police has a ton of files, sensitive info, and recorded evidence left in an abandoned (defaulted?) storage unit.

What I find odd is that personal artifacts according to this dude don't seem to apply to what documents or even the keys to the entire OSU campus apparently, aren't given much more than lurid curiosity like some thieving looter which would discard something without context of why this person even has possession of this stuff. It's possible that to mitigate liability he doesn't want to divulge he has possession of the items (which probably should have been left at a location in Oklahoma, preferably on campus?) Why the school itself wouldn't pay for a storage unit seems odd as well, and why the guy never showed up also seems a bit odd, though perhaps he lost access to it.

I almost had the impression they are just buying an auction and taking possession, and evident his breaking into suitcases suggests these people have forfeited any ownership, as the storage unit doesn't care to auction.

I see a conflict of interest with people who have little regard for the person in question, and a storage unit company that would rather they recoup unused storage (which I tend to wonder what percentage of the units are vacant?) Also, what kind of person enjoys dealing with crap like that, and seeks the kinds of unsavory attention it gets? Also, death certificates and autopsy reports are something the guy was storing in that unit.) They evidently like the viewership.

He sells these items on Facebook Marketplace listings (which begs to question, if someone had $5000 worth of Pokemon cards, why didn't they sell them earlier?)

A pretty interesting interview that actually aligns a lot with what I think.


Really intriguing insight that segways well into the previous video.

Lex Fridman has an MIT background and specialized in machine learning, so it put's him in a unique position to interact with the person behind Facebook/Meta learning algorithm.

A pretty good interview (Joe Rogan's interview seemed less in-depth.)
