00:00:05.618 --> 00:00:08.153
[ UFOs and Extraterrestrial life]

00:00:36.697 --> 00:00:40.901
Here's an idea that demonstrates the lack of education in our society.

00:00:41.069 --> 00:00:44.659
A society which claims to educate the population.

00:00:44.930 --> 00:00:47.844
Due to poor or deliberately bad management,

00:00:47.944 --> 00:00:51.614
the monetary system has placed more emphasis on movies,

00:00:51.714 --> 00:00:53.156
tragedy and drama,

00:00:53.276 --> 00:00:57.317
leading citizens through a hallucinating state.

00:01:03.941 --> 00:01:05.645
In the film "Alien"

00:01:06.964 --> 00:01:10.884
a human being plays host to a parasitic alien,

00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:15.949
until it's ready to be born.

00:01:18.105 --> 00:01:21.501
This has long bothered biologist Jack Cohen.

00:01:23.091 --> 00:01:26.867
Alien is not concerned with the biology.

00:01:27.047 --> 00:01:31.106
You can't have a creature living in your chest, which is bigger than your heart

00:01:31.221 --> 00:01:34.975
and you don't know it's there, and your immune system isn't turned on.

00:01:35.075 --> 00:01:37.742
Particularly, it has never seen a human being before.

00:01:37.842 --> 00:01:40.573
It doesn't work biologically

00:01:41.109 --> 00:01:42.620
but it does work as a film.

00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:45.878
Because you see the thing coming up from the chest and you scream "Ahhhh"!

00:01:45.978 --> 00:01:49.497
And it's exactly what they want - it is a horror film.

00:01:52.243 --> 00:01:57.741
Another classic hard image of extraterrestrials shows them as giant insects.

00:01:57.928 --> 00:02:01.559
The alien of choice for the film "Star ship Trooper".

00:02:06.058 --> 00:02:08.415
But according to the laws of physics

00:02:08.515 --> 00:02:12.152
this kind of anatomy is impossible.

00:02:13.278 --> 00:02:17.138
It's like bringing a mouse up to be the size of an elephant.

00:02:17.238 --> 00:02:20.763
Its little thin legs wouldn't take the weight or they would break.

00:02:20.863 --> 00:02:24.124
You have to redesign.

00:02:25.172 --> 00:02:28.580
It is a lot easier to have a terrifying film with giant ants.

00:02:33.470 --> 00:02:37.595
As unscientific as the oversized insects of the Star Ship Trooper's are.

00:02:37.695 --> 00:02:40.425
At least they don't look like people.

00:02:44.815 --> 00:02:50.054
By far, most films, even the ones with huge special effects budgets,

00:02:50.154 --> 00:02:54.282
depict aliens that actually look like they evolved on Earth.

00:02:54.493 --> 00:02:57.973
Because they have faces that resemble ours.

00:02:59.696 --> 00:03:02.261
Nearly all the vertebrates we see around us,

00:03:02.369 --> 00:03:03.501
humans included,

00:03:03.634 --> 00:03:04.796
have faces.

00:03:04.911 --> 00:03:09.439
With two eyes, two nostrils and a mouth below.

00:03:10.029 --> 00:03:12.980
This configuration came from a common ancestor

00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.262
who lived hundreds of millions of years ago.

00:03:16.888 --> 00:03:19.104
Now, when we look at these aliens

00:03:19.204 --> 00:03:22.555
and they've got faces with two eyes, the nose, the mouth,

00:03:22.790 --> 00:03:24.452
they can't be aliens.

00:03:24.554 --> 00:03:26.096
They must've been developed on Earth.

00:03:26.196 --> 00:03:31.502
They must share that same ancestor or they wouldn't have faces like this.

00:03:32.914 --> 00:03:36.601
We expect the living thing-the dog, the cat or even a fish,

00:03:36.701 --> 00:03:38.063
to have a face.

00:03:38.269 --> 00:03:40.805
Therefore, when we invent something for film

00:03:40.905 --> 00:03:42.768
we give it a face.

00:03:43.007 --> 00:03:46.466
And that realy enables the people who are watching

00:03:46.566 --> 00:03:48.679
to get moved by it.

00:03:49.496 --> 00:03:53.066
Real aliens can't be like that.

00:03:55.580 --> 00:03:59.550
Do I believe in UFOs?

00:04:00.067 --> 00:04:03.098
Or extraterrestrial visitors?

00:04:06.924 --> 00:04:09.276
I'm not authorized to answer that question.

00:04:20.503 --> 00:04:22.727
Where shall I begin...

00:04:25.502 --> 00:04:27.276
UFO.

00:04:28.394 --> 00:04:32.959
First, remember what the U stands for in UFO.

00:04:33.849 --> 00:04:38.787
Now, there's fascinating frailty of the human mind,

00:04:38.887 --> 00:04:41.244
that psychologists know all about.

00:04:41.517 --> 00:04:44.459
And it's called argument from ignorance.

00:04:44.636 --> 00:04:46.110
And this is how it goes.

00:04:46.383 --> 00:04:47.639
Ready?

00:04:48.029 --> 00:04:50.987
Somebody sees lights flashing in the sky.

00:04:51.282 --> 00:04:52.466
They've never seen it before.

00:04:52.566 --> 00:04:54.662
They don't understand what it is.

00:04:55.330 --> 00:04:57.838
They say: A UFO!

00:04:58.599 --> 00:05:01.764
The U stands for unidentified.

00:05:02.303 --> 00:05:05.556
So they say I don't know what it is.

00:05:05.784 --> 00:05:08.998
It must be aliens from out of space visiting from another planet.

00:05:09.271 --> 00:05:13.602
Well, if you don't know what it is

00:05:13.908 --> 00:05:17.595
that's where your conversation should stop!

00:05:17.962 --> 00:05:21.799
You know, they say it must be anything.

00:05:22.032 --> 00:05:23.217
ok?

00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.642
That's what argument from ignorance is.

00:05:27.154 --> 00:05:29.634
It's common, I'm not blaming anybody.

00:05:29.734 --> 00:05:31.753
Psychologists kow all about it

00:05:31.903 --> 00:05:35.078
and it may relate to our burning need

00:05:35.178 --> 00:05:37.085
to have to know stuff,

00:05:37.252 --> 00:05:40.894
because we are uncomfortable steeped in ignorance.

00:05:41.300 --> 00:05:44.526
You can't be a scientist if you are uncomfortable with ignorance,

00:05:44.681 --> 00:05:49.185
because we live at the boundary between what is known and unknown in the Universe.

00:05:49.447 --> 00:05:51.243
Unlike what journalists write...

00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:53.412
Have you seen journalists... any journalists here?

00:05:54.412 --> 00:05:55.541
You know, journalists...

00:05:58.383 --> 00:06:00.079
You know, journalists...

00:06:00.590 --> 00:06:03.454
all articles about scientist ... begin:

00:06:03.949 --> 00:06:07.058
Scientists now have to go back to the drawing board.

00:06:07.436 --> 00:06:09.994
As though we're sitting up in our office, you know,

00:06:10.094 --> 00:06:12.919
masters of the Universe, as if ooops...

00:06:13.019 --> 00:06:14.320
somebody discovered something.

00:06:14.420 --> 00:06:16.622
No,we are always at the drawing board.

00:06:16.722 --> 00:06:19.753
If you are not at the drawing board you are not making discoveries.

00:06:19.853 --> 00:06:21.777
You are something else.

00:06:22.077 --> 00:06:23.384
So,

00:06:23.934 --> 00:06:27.799
the public, it appears, seems to have that burning need

00:06:27.899 --> 00:06:29.673
to have to have an answer to what is unknown.

00:06:29.851 --> 00:06:33.404
And so you go from an abject statement of ignorance

00:06:33.543 --> 00:06:36.168
to an abject statement of certainty.

00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:39.238
So, that is operating within us.

00:06:39.371 --> 00:06:40.405
Let's start there.

00:06:40.505 --> 00:06:41.656
Second,

00:06:42.140 --> 00:06:45.732
we know not only from research and psychology,

00:06:45.877 --> 00:06:49.542
but simple empirical evidence from the history of science,

00:06:49.692 --> 00:06:53.584
that the lowest form of evidence,

00:06:53.684 --> 00:06:58.250
that exists in this world, is eye witness testimony.

00:06:58.856 --> 00:07:04.255
Which is scary because that's some of the highest form of evidence in the court of law.

00:07:04.444 --> 00:07:07.375
But we know from the second grade

00:07:07.814 --> 00:07:09.471
where's my guy from second grade....

00:07:09.571 --> 00:07:10.934
Grab the microphone for a minute...

00:07:11.034 --> 00:07:13.809
Grab the microphone! Grab the microphone!

00:07:15.238 --> 00:07:19.447
In your classes have you done the famous experiment where you play telephone

00:07:19.631 --> 00:07:23.595
and you line up all the kids in class and one person starts with a story

00:07:23.695 --> 00:07:26.392
and you hear it and you repeat it to the next person and the next person ....

00:07:26.492 --> 00:07:28.478
Have you done this in class yet?

00:07:29.012 --> 00:07:30.012
Yes.

00:07:31.686 --> 00:07:33.794
What happens by the time you get to the last person

00:07:33.894 --> 00:07:35.612
and they retell the story what happens?

00:07:35.712 --> 00:07:37.286
It's like completely different.

00:07:37.414 --> 00:07:42.013
Completely different, completely different. ok?

00:07:42.157 --> 00:07:45.115
Because the conveyance of information

00:07:45.215 --> 00:07:47.596
was relying on eye witness testimony

00:07:47.696 --> 00:07:50.031
which in that case is ear witness testimony.

00:07:50.131 --> 00:07:52.522
And so, let's take it, so he knows that.

00:07:52.622 --> 00:07:54.602
So he knows it and he is a second grade!

00:07:54.702 --> 00:07:55.781
right, so

00:07:55.881 --> 00:07:58.678
Actually he should be in twelvth grade...

00:07:58.884 --> 00:08:00.068
So...

00:08:00.168 --> 00:08:03.616
So now, so now

00:08:04.450 --> 00:08:08.543
it wouldn't matter if you saw a flying saucer.

00:08:09.210 --> 00:08:13.870
In science even if you have something less controversial than a flying saucer,

00:08:13.970 --> 00:08:17.740
if you're coming to my lab and you say : You gotta believe me I saw it!,

00:08:18.046 --> 00:08:22.005
and you are one of my fellow scientists, I'd say: Go home!

00:08:22.128 --> 00:08:27.260
Go back and retrieve some other kind of evidence that it's not just you saw it.

00:08:27.674 --> 00:08:31.897
Ok? Because human perception system is rife

00:08:31.997 --> 00:08:35.896
with all ways of getting it wrong, ok.

00:08:36.144 --> 00:08:38.298
But we don't like thinking of ourselves that way.

00:08:38.398 --> 00:08:41.038
We have higher opinions of our human biology

00:08:41.138 --> 00:08:42.799
when in fact we should not.

00:08:42.899 --> 00:08:44.844
I'll give you an example of how it reveals itself.

00:08:44.944 --> 00:08:51.202
We've all bought and enjoyed books called optical illusions, right?

00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:54.898
We all love optical illusions, but that's not what they should call the book.

00:08:54.998 --> 00:08:57.349
They should call them "Brain failures".

00:08:57.449 --> 00:09:00.985
Ok, 'cause that's what it is.

00:09:01.239 --> 00:09:06.599
It's a complete failure of human perception, all right.

00:09:06.926 --> 00:09:12.171
All it takes is a few sketches that are cleverly done and you brain can't figure it out.

00:09:12.271 --> 00:09:13.130
All right?

00:09:13.230 --> 00:09:17.032
So, we are poor data taking devices,

00:09:17.132 --> 00:09:19.258
that's why we have such a thing as science.

00:09:19.358 --> 00:09:20.659
Because we have machines

00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:23.774
that don't care what side of the bed they woke up in the morning.

00:09:23.874 --> 00:09:26.340
Don't care what they said to the spouse that day,

00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.198
don't care whether they had their morning caffeine to get the data right, ok.

00:09:31.298 --> 00:09:37.677
So maybe you did see visitors from another part of the Galaxy.

00:09:37.937 --> 00:09:40.974
I need more than your eyewitness testimony.

00:09:41.074 --> 00:09:44.559
And in modern times I need more than your photograph,

00:09:44.659 --> 00:09:47.272
which photoshop probably has an UFO button

00:09:47.372 --> 00:09:49.644
today sticked in

00:09:49.744 --> 00:09:53.298
So, your computer!,

00:09:53.398 --> 00:09:58.380
so here is what you do: I'm not saying we haven't been visited.

00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.647
I'm saying the evidence thus far brought forth

00:10:01.834 --> 00:10:07.303
does not satisfy the standards of evidence that any scientist

00:10:07.403 --> 00:10:11.859
would require for any other claim that you're gonna walk into the lab with.

00:10:11.959 --> 00:10:16.021
Then you're done, you come back and say: Look what I got!

00:10:16.445 --> 00:10:21.170
Like I stole the ashtray off the shelf of the flying saucer

00:10:21.270 --> 00:10:23.239
and then you bring that to the lab.

00:10:23.339 --> 00:10:25.574
It's not about eyewitness testimony at that point

00:10:25.674 --> 00:10:28.369
cause you have something of alien manufacture.

00:10:28.469 --> 00:10:31.932
And anything you pull out of the flying saucer that cross the Galaxy

00:10:32.032 --> 00:10:34.818
is gonna be interesting, ok.

00:10:35.266 --> 00:10:39.047
Because even objects within our own culture .....

00:10:39.147 --> 00:10:42.247
I got this device here,ok,

00:10:42.347 --> 00:10:43.890
the iphone.

00:10:43.990 --> 00:10:47.384
Ten years ago they would've resurrected the witch burning laws

00:10:47.484 --> 00:10:48.823
had you pull this thing out.

00:10:48.923 --> 00:10:50.345
Ok?

00:10:50.445 --> 00:10:52.550
And that's in our own culture.

00:10:53.040 --> 00:10:56.452
Our own culture produced this over 10 years back.

00:10:56.646 --> 00:11:00.966
So if this is some technology that crossed the Galaxy,

00:11:01.066 --> 00:11:03.845
that's gonna be some serious stuff to look at in the lab.

00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:05.672
Then we can have the conversation.

00:11:05.805 --> 00:11:08.764
Until then - I can't, I'm sorry.

00:11:08.864 --> 00:11:12.158
Go ahead, keep trying to find it, I'm not gonna stop you.

00:11:12.533 --> 00:11:15.346
But get ready for that time you are abducted,

00:11:15.446 --> 00:11:17.778
because I'll be looking for your evidence when that happens.

00:11:17.878 --> 00:11:19.644
and...

00:11:19.744 --> 00:11:23.296
And last point on that is

00:11:25.068 --> 00:11:28.317
there are people who look up all the time,

00:11:28.553 --> 00:11:31.808
like for example the Community of amateur astronomers in the world.

00:11:32.370 --> 00:11:36.357
I was an amateur astronomer. We come out of a building and we look up.

00:11:36.932 --> 00:11:38.959
We are looking up.

00:11:39.364 --> 00:11:44.697
UFO sightings are not higher among amateur astronomers than they are in the general public.

00:11:44.797 --> 00:11:47.507
In fact, they are lower. You'd say why is that so.

00:11:47.607 --> 00:11:49.395
Well, because we know what the hell we're looking at.

00:11:54.095 --> 00:11:56.013
Because we study this stuff!

00:11:56.189 --> 00:12:00.049
Do you know there was an UFO sighting reported by a police officer

00:12:00.149 --> 00:12:03.781
because you think that when you have a badge or you are a pilot or whatever,

00:12:03.881 --> 00:12:06.933
that your testimonies are somehow better than the average person.

00:12:07.033 --> 00:12:09.680
It's all bad because we are human. ok?

00:12:09.801 --> 00:12:15.058
So there was a police officer who was tracking an UFO

00:12:15.343 --> 00:12:18.331
that was swaying back and forth in the sky.

00:12:18.431 --> 00:12:22.176
ok, reported on the ... what it called the cop?

00:12:22.276 --> 00:12:27.164
On the squad car chasing an UFO and the UFO was moving back and forth like this.

00:12:27.418 --> 00:12:29.233
Ok? Later it turned out

00:12:29.505 --> 00:12:32.397
the cop car was chasing Venus

00:12:32.554 --> 00:12:35.398
and he was driving on a curved road.

00:12:36.481 --> 00:12:41.157
but was so distracted by Venus he though Venus was the one moving

00:12:41.257 --> 00:12:44.966
and he wasn't even thinking why he was doing this

00:12:48.895 --> 00:12:52.900
I had a conversation with a layman about flying saucers -

00:12:54.134 --> 00:12:57.050
because I am scientific I know all about flying saucers!

00:12:57.492 --> 00:13:00.711
I said “I don’t think there are flying saucers”.

00:13:01.201 --> 00:13:03.814
So my antagonist said,

00:13:03.914 --> 00:13:05.402
“Is it impossible that there are flying saucers?

00:13:05.502 --> 00:13:08.309
Can you prove that it’s impossible?”

00:13:08.409 --> 00:13:12.139
“No”, I said, “I can’t prove it’s impossible. It’s just very unlikely”.

00:13:12.465 --> 00:13:15.037
At that he said, “You are very unscientific.

00:13:15.137 --> 00:13:16.809
If you can’t prove it impossible

00:13:16.909 --> 00:13:19.610
then how can you say that it’s unlikely?”

00:13:19.798 --> 00:13:21.437
But that is the way that is scientific.

00:13:21.537 --> 00:13:24.287
It is scientific only to say what is more likely and what less likely,

00:13:24.387 --> 00:13:27.342
and not to be proving all the time the possible and impossible.

00:13:27.693 --> 00:13:30.512
To define what I mean, I finally said to him,

00:13:30.712 --> 00:13:35.016
"Listen, I mean that from my knowledge of the world that I see around me,

00:13:35.116 --> 00:13:37.482
I think that it's much more likely

00:13:37.582 --> 00:13:44.403
that the reports of flying saucers are the results of the known irrational characteristics of terrestrial intelligence

00:13:44.503 --> 00:13:49.926
rather than of the unknown rational efforts of extra-terrestrial intelligence."

00:13:56.593 --> 00:13:59.074
If you look at our closest genetic relative

00:13:59.174 --> 00:14:01.633
to human beings- the chimpanzees-

00:14:01.917 --> 00:14:06.267
we share like 98+% identical DNA,

00:14:06.581 --> 00:14:08.977
we are smarter than a chimpanzee.

00:14:10.181 --> 00:14:13.763
Let’s invent a measure of intelligence that make humans unique.

00:14:13.890 --> 00:14:16.074
Let’s say intelligence is your ability to compose poetry,

00:14:16.322 --> 00:14:20.563
symphonies, do art, math and science, let’s say.

00:14:20.726 --> 00:14:22.033
Ok?

00:14:22.133 --> 00:14:25.499
Let’s make that as the arbitrary definition of intelligence for the moment.

00:14:25.856 --> 00:14:27.641
Chimps can't do any of that

00:14:28.482 --> 00:14:32.717
yet we share 98% - 99% identical DNA

00:14:33.165 --> 00:14:34.165
Ok?

00:14:34.453 --> 00:14:37.127
The most brilliant chimp there ever was

00:14:37.345 --> 00:14:39.940
maybe can do a little bit of sign language

00:14:40.116 --> 00:14:42.239
well our toddlers can do that

00:14:42.348 --> 00:14:44.000
Toddlers.

00:14:45.458 --> 00:14:46.916
So

00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:50.848
here's what concerns me deeply, deeply

00:14:52.560 --> 00:14:57.661
Everything that we are, that distinguishes us from chimps

00:15:00.074 --> 00:15:03.795
emerges from that 1% difference in the DNA

00:15:04.509 --> 00:15:06.596
It has to because that’s the difference.

00:15:07.171 --> 00:15:12.071
The Hubble telescope, the grand… that’s in that 1%.

00:15:14.050 --> 00:15:16.530
Maybe...

00:15:17.740 --> 00:15:21.116
everything that we are that is not the chimp

00:15:22.023 --> 00:15:26.845
is not as smart compared to the chimp as we tell ourselves it is

00:15:29.023 --> 00:15:33.948
maybe the difference between constructing and launching a Hubble telescope

00:15:34.214 --> 00:15:38.134
and a chimp combining two finger motions as a sign language

00:15:38.297 --> 00:15:42.520
maybe that difference is not all that great

00:15:43.283 --> 00:15:44.855
we tell ourselves it is

00:15:45.134 --> 00:15:47.523
just the same when we label our books

00:15:47.947 --> 00:15:49.853
optical illusions

00:15:50.246 --> 00:15:54.432
We tell ourselves it's a lot. Maybe it's almost nothing.

00:15:55.007 --> 00:15:59.351
How would we decide that? Imagine another life form!

00:15:59.762 --> 00:16:03.247
That is 1% different from us!

00:16:03.719 --> 00:16:07.924
In the direction that we are different from the chimp.

00:16:09.533 --> 00:16:10.930
Think about that.

00:16:11.384 --> 00:16:14.191
We have 1% difference and we are building the Hubble telescope.

00:16:14.291 --> 00:16:16.714
Go another 1%.

00:16:17.071 --> 00:16:20.211
What are we to they?

00:16:20.653 --> 00:16:24.040
We would be drooling, blithering idiots in their presence.

00:16:24.140 --> 00:16:26.612
That’s what we would be.

00:16:27.767 --> 00:16:34.355
They would take Stephen Hawking and roll him in front of their

00:16:34.455 --> 00:16:37.435
primate researchers and say well

00:16:37.535 --> 00:16:39.504
this one is like the most brilliant among them

00:16:39.604 --> 00:16:42.178
cause he can do sort of astrophysics in his head

00:16:42.278 --> 00:16:46.776
Oh isn't that cute! Little Johny can do that too

00:16:46.876 --> 00:16:47.876
Oh!!

00:16:47.976 --> 00:16:53.037
Let me get it it's on the refrigerator door here it is

00:16:53.137 --> 00:16:56.335
he did it in his elementary school class

00:16:56.540 --> 00:16:59.299
Think about how smart they would be!

00:17:00.364 --> 00:17:04.199
Quantum mechanics would be intuitive to their toddlers.

00:17:04.659 --> 00:17:10.830
Whole symphonies would be written by their children, and like I said just put on the refrigerator door

00:17:10.930 --> 00:17:15.525
the way our pasta collages are on our refrigerator doors.

00:17:18.411 --> 00:17:23.123
So the notion, that we're gonna find some intelligent life

00:17:23.223 --> 00:17:27.679
and have a conversation with it!?

00:17:28.260 --> 00:17:32.785
When was the last time you stopped to have a conversation with a worm?

00:17:35.429 --> 00:17:37.353
Or a bird?

00:17:38.242 --> 00:17:41.500
Well, you might have had a conversation but I don’t think you expected an answer, alright.

00:17:41.600 --> 00:17:43.977
All right? So...

00:17:44.238 --> 00:17:46.978
We don't have conversations with any other species on earth

00:17:47.078 --> 00:17:49.900
with whom we have DNA in common.

00:17:50.051 --> 00:17:53.337
To believe that some intelligent other species

00:17:53.437 --> 00:17:57.705
is gonna be interested in us? Enough to have a conversation?

00:17:57.868 --> 00:18:03.149
they’ll look at our Hubble telescope and say, “isn’t that quaint… look at what they’re doing.”

00:18:03.428 --> 00:18:09.248
So I lay awake at nights wondering whether simply we as a species

00:18:09.348 --> 00:18:13.489
are simply too stupid to figure out the universe that we are investigating

00:18:13.646 --> 00:18:18.238
and maybe we need some other species 1% smarter than we are

00:18:18.504 --> 00:18:20.997
for which string theory would be intuitive,

00:18:21.178 --> 00:18:26.078
for which all the greatest mysteries of the universe, from dark matter, dark energy, the origins of life

00:18:26.178 --> 00:18:28.716
and all the frontiers of our thoughts

00:18:28.964 --> 00:18:32.419
would be something that they would just self intuit.

00:18:33.260 --> 00:18:35.909
I'm jealous of that possibility

00:18:36.036 --> 00:18:39.854
because I want to be around for those discoveries.

00:18:49.497 --> 00:18:54.077
[ Alternative solutions ]

00:19:01.712 --> 00:19:05.306
UFO associated with extraterrestrial life

00:19:05.406 --> 00:19:10.170
presents, very well, the aberrant approach of the monetary system.

00:19:10.993 --> 00:19:14.368
Thus, the solution is proper education of human beings

00:19:14.468 --> 00:19:16.341
and a reorganising of our system

00:19:16.441 --> 00:19:20.461
so that our priorities are aligned with natural necessities.

00:19:21.096 --> 00:19:23.921
The monetary system is unable to achieve this

00:19:24.021 --> 00:19:28.694
because it's main concerns are profit and consumption.

00:19:55.691 --> 00:19:59.402
It's disheartening that human beings consume their curiousity

00:19:59.485 --> 00:20:03.675
Through films or discussions rather than inquire through science

00:20:04.469 --> 00:20:08.329
What is even worse is that this organization called the monetary system

00:20:08.541 --> 00:20:11.381
allows and perpetuates this situation

00:20:13.047 --> 00:20:16.137
It does not give enough attention to science

00:20:16.312 --> 00:20:20.312
Instead it focuses on consumption and profit
