Dialogue: 0,0:00:02.88,0:00:06.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because the majority of my work\Nsurrounds the Zeitgeist Movement
Dialogue: 0,0:00:06.64,0:00:09.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or things that are related\Nto my film series
Dialogue: 0,0:00:09.25,0:00:11.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I've tailored this\Nvery carefully to
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.03,0:00:17.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what I felt the audience of this\Nevent would find interesting.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.30,0:00:19.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The working title as\Nnoted in the program is:
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.56,0:00:23.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'When Normality Becomes Distortion:\NReflections on a World Gone Mad'
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.01,0:00:26.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but as the talk developed I\Nexperimented with a few other
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.61,0:00:29.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,less sensationalized titles to\Nsee what would work better.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.59,0:00:31.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The 2nd one I came up with was
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.34,0:00:35.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'When Intuition Fails: The Inevitable\NBreakdown of Human Assumption
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.16,0:00:37.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and its Social Consequences'.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.21,0:00:38.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not bad, a bit too wordy, though
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.14,0:00:41.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so when I finished\Nthe presentation
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.25,0:00:44.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it struck me to have a\Nlittle more intellectual one
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.30,0:00:48.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'Limited Dimensional Thought in\Na Multi-Dimensional Reality'.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.72,0:00:52.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All right, annoyingly\Nintellectual but still OK.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.76,0:00:56.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Regardless, I point this out so\Nyou can make your own decision
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.24,0:00:58.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which title you think\Nis more applicable
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.38,0:01:02.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because they cognitively\Nhighlight different context
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.25,0:01:04.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of what I am going\Nto present here.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.62,0:01:07.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As far as myself, as introduced,\Nit's usually at this point
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.55,0:01:10.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I might say something about who I\Nam, my credentials and experience
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.88,0:01:13.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as though frankly, any\Nof us should care.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.44,0:01:15.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of the great failures\Nof critical thought
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.78,0:01:18.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the assumption of authority\Naround a given data set.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.77,0:01:21.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People might think "This person's\Nconsidered an expert in a given field
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.04,0:01:24.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,due to the standard set forth\Nby culture, so therefore
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.85,0:01:27.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can just trust blindly\Nanything they say
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.43,0:01:29.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,without critical evaluation."

Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.25,0:01:40.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of supposed authority.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.79,0:01:42.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Who am I? I'm just like you.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.63,0:01:48.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You should have no faith\Nin anything I say here
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.26,0:01:50.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and rather be prepared\Nto critically assess

Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.15,0:01:57.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,within the bounds of your\Nlogical reasoning and training.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.51,0:01:59.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As I will expand upon\Nlater in this talk
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.84,0:02:04.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there is actually no such thing\Nas the origin of any information.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.95,0:02:09.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I view knowledge as a life\Nform in and of itself.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.05,0:02:12.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is no empirical source
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.17,0:02:15.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it evolves and multiplies\Njust like any other organism
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.89,0:02:20.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,utilizing the vehicle of our collective\Nhuman experience: transference
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.82,0:02:24.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and like biological evolution\Nit is self-correcting.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.23,0:02:26.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Any false thought\Nwill eventually
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.69,0:02:29.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(even after long struggles) be\Nseen by the environment and
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.72,0:02:32.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,selected out by the\Ncollective awareness
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.77,0:02:35.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or what could also be\Ncalled 'The Group Mind'
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.57,0:02:39.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which I will talk about\Nagain a little bit later.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.46,0:02:42.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Furthermore, the premise\Nof this talk regards
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.94,0:02:46.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not the specifics of any discipline\Nof knowledge or understanding
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.61,0:02:48.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but the mechanics of it
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.05,0:02:51.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,specifically the\Nnature of its change.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.82,0:02:55.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm less interested in what people\Nthink and more interested in
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.40,0:03:00.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how they came to think it, and\Nhow they maintain it as valid.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.69,0:03:04.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This talk will not only consider\Nsuch frames of reference
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.91,0:03:06.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as they're often called
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.90,0:03:09.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,frames of reference\Nindividual people utilize
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.76,0:03:12.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to generate and support\Ntheir decisions and beliefs
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.70,0:03:15.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but also the larger\Norder institutions
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.61,0:03:18.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that arise from those\Nreferential assumptions
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.49,0:03:21.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,once they are shared by a\Nlarge enough group of people
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.52,0:03:24.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to define social normality
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.39,0:03:28.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is the status\Nquo that we all know.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.06,0:03:34.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then the status quo practices will\Nbe qualified or even quantified
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.19,0:03:38.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,against what we could haphazardly\Ncall 'Our Objective Reality'
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.95,0:03:42.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which will draw its assumptions from a\Ncompletely different referential benchmark
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.87,0:03:45.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than most of the population\Nof the world is familiar with
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.45,0:03:49.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a frame of reference we have come\Nto know as 'The Scientific Method'.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.64,0:03:54.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You'll notice I said haphazardly\Ntermed an objective reality. Why?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.85,0:04:00.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because the concept of objective\Ncan only be hyperbole, right?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.17,0:04:02.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How could we possibly be\Nso arrogant to assume
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.83,0:04:04.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at any point in time\Nin human history
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.88,0:04:07.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we have ever been\Nempirically right?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.29,0:04:11.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It simply hasn't happened yet,\Nif you take the broad view.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.20,0:04:13.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It wasn't until the past\Ncouple of hundred years
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.66,0:04:18.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that The Scientific Method has\Nbarely been taken seriously

Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.10,0:04:41.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is no\Nrecognized phenomenon
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.28,0:04:44.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that isn't undergoing a\Nconstant change of definition
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.80,0:04:47.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as the evolution of\Nknowledge continues.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.42,0:04:50.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Truth itself is an\Nemergent distinction.
