00:54 Well, my world's on fire. How about yours? From the Sunshine State I'm Greg Carlwood and how anyone still keeps faith in any of our traditional institutions is beyond me for a long time academia industry and a compromised media benefited from a monopoly on ideas and information across pretty much all scientific disciplines and perspectives on history But after 25 years of a fairly open internet, our traditional structures have proven themselves to function more as gatekeepers to knowledge than altruistic and curious experts on the cutting edge of their disciplines. They mock outside-the box thinking, refuse to discuss ideas with the uncredentialed and invoke willful ignorance around a lot of alternatives. They circle the wagons around their preferred narratives and dogma bullying those who dare dig deeper
01:39 They cherry-pick what new discoveries to circulate and surprise, they tend to happen be the ones that reinforce the academic orthodoxy that dares go no further than what their experts have established as official canon. Whether it's health and medicine, human history, energy science, archaeology or astrophysics we find much more interesting forward thinking in good faith discussions happening in the alternative space From people who are plenty capable of understanding the fields they find interesting despite not having the almighty system stamp of approval. And in a big way, these rogue researchers have breezed right past The Old Guard And their loss is our gain and the gain of people like today's guest, catastrophist conference organizer and self-proclaimed pajama scientist George Howard. For the uninitiated George runs the popular alternative everything website The Cosmic Tusk as well as The Cosmic Summit Conference and YouTube channel covering everything from free energy devices to the Knights Templar safekeeping the bones of Jesus
02:37 He was also an original proponent and expert on the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis with over a thousand academic citations in reference to it. And it's bound to be a good time today, the renegade researcher, citizen archaeologist, and cosmic tusk tactician George. Welcome to The Higher Side! Thank you very much, Greg Carlwood.
