Dream Networks, Tyson Yunkaporta and Shared Dreamscapes

The "Dream Network" is discussed as a space where high-level tech creators and scientists report having shared dreams and working on problems together outside of linear time. Pasulka references Tyson Yunkaporta’s book "Sand Talk" and Indigenous Australian concepts of "The Dreaming" to explain non-linear epistemologies. The segment also touches on DMT research in the UK that attempts to map the geography of altered states and identify consistent taxonomies of experience.

History Hoax and the Evolution of Textbooks

John Le Bon introduces the "History Hoax" by citing George Orwell's 1984 regarding the control of the past. He points to the frequent changing of school textbooks and shifting archaeological timelines for Indigenous Australians as evidence that history is malleable. He asserts that the academic study of Egyptology is a relatively recent invention, only about 140 years old.
