  1. “And one is to make tools and to evolve the species, right? So when we have these active imaginations, But what are politicians saying? Because I know politicians are kind of getting in on this. So now we have another layer. To this weird information space we're in. I've never seen anything like this in our lifetime, but we have conspiracy theories, distrust in the media, citizen journalism. Plus a layer of politics and gamesmanship. And this seems like the ultimate Rawshaw test of what you believe about reality. So effort, let's just go down the rabbit hole again.”

  2. “And these are very low. And so I think, you know, one interesting way to look at this is, and there's a bunch of politicians coming in. And one of the things about the information landscape right now is because of a lot of conspiracy theories becoming true, which, you know, does happen one out of a hundred times, right? Statistically, something starts as a conspiracy theory. And then we get evidence that, oh, hey, it's true. And then people fill in their minds very naturally. We have inquisitive great big brains. We think of every permutation. This is how the human brain works. It is a speculation fear-based machine. Why is our brains, you know, and I talk to a lot of different evolutionary biologists over the years, they believe that our minds speculate and come up with theories for a number of reasons. One is survival.”

  3. “So conspiracy theorists have this belief that there is a project to destabilize, this is a conspiracy theorist by somebody named Serg Monsant, 1945 to 1996. He is mostly known for his promotion of the Project Blue Beam Conspiracy Theory. I'm reading off the Wikipedia, which posts a plot to facilitate totalitarian world government by destroying Arabic religions by replacing them with a New Age belief system, a futuristic NASA technology involving fake alien invasion or fake extraterrestrial encounters. So this is nuts, right? New World Order, crazy stuff. The idea being it's a psyops essentially. And so I think we can take out its aliens or psyops. It's obviously something's going on here, but there's too many involvement here for it not to be an actual phenomenon. I think we've gotten through that, right?”

  4. “Exactly. And then there's the conspiracy theories, alien, extraterrestrial. And then there's adversaries. Like this is some other country. And my favorite, of course, is Project Bluebeam. I never heard of Project Bluebeam before this. Have you heard of this one?”

  5. “Course, everybody with the drone is like, oh, yeah, I own a drone. I'm going to go fly my drone and look for other drones.”

  6. “I think we should start with what are the theories and you know I love what Grock has been doing Grock 2.0 came out and I've been using Gemini 1.5 and 2.0 With deep research. And I have to say, I'm now realizing that about half my searches are no longer on ChatGPT. They've moved to Grok or Gemini, which are both exceptional right now. In fact, I think there's parody, but here is the Grok conversation. I just asked it, what are the major theories of the drones over New Jersey? And you see what Grock does is it goes and collects some news stories and it collects some posts, aka or FKA tweets. Really interesting. And if you go through these misidentification is the number one. So of course some number of these are obviously helicopters or planes, et cetera. Second one is that there's some sort of military or government phenomenon going on, commercial or research activities, hobbyists and copycat. So that's definitely a piece of this whenever there is a phenomenon like this.”

  7. “Took over the space and won all the hardware that consumers buy. But we're starting to see drones emerge again as a topic and part of the Zykos. And obviously this is all happening because in New Jersey for the last month, there have been a ton of drone sightings and there are tons of theories of it. So let's get into it.”

  8. “I mean, there's a lot to talk about. A lot of information for startups. And we'll be recording through the holidays. I think we have two live shows during the holidays. So we'll be coming to you live a little bit over the holiday, just to keep you up to date on what's happening. And maybe we'll do a Twisty Awards. And I think the drone story is where we should start, Alex, because this has taken over people's imagination.”
