Unlocking UAP Mysteries: Economics, Aliens, and The Great Filter | Merged EP 9

Ғылым және технология

Join us for a riveting conversation as Ryan Graves discusses theories, impacts, and the push for further inquiry and research in the UAP (UFO) space as part of this fascinating conversation with Associate Professor Robin Hanson. From “The Great Filter” to “Grabby Aliens” join us and embrace a paradigm-shifting exploration of the ideas, technologies, and groups dedicated to furthering our understanding of UAP.
===
Robin Hanson is associate professor of economics at George Mason University, and research associate at the Future of Humanity Institute of Oxford University. He has a doctorate in social science from California Institute of Technology, master's degrees in physics and philosophy from the University of Chicago, and nine years experience as a research programmer, at Lockheed and NASA.
Robin has diverse research interests, with papers on spatial product competition, health incentive contracts, group insurance, product bans, evolutionary psychology and bioethics of health care, voter information incentives, incentives to fake expertise, Bayesian classification, agreeing to disagree, self-deception in disagreement, probability elicitation, wiretaps, image reconstruction, the history of science prizes, reversible computation, the origin of life, the survival of humanity, very long term economic growth, growth given machine intelligence, and interstellar colonization. He coined the phrase "The Great Filter", and has recently numerically estimated it via a model of "Grabby Aliens".

    I was in some email discussion groups with Hanson back in the mid 90s and have followed his career with interest ever since. He has a way of thinking about the world that is unlike anyone else I've seen. Reading his blog is like getting your brain turned inside out and cleaned. He has a habit of challenging orthodoxies in new ways which makes him somewhat unpopular with political ideologues and their craven, captured academic allies. But that's a feature, not a bug for anyone who just wants to have true beliefs. Great vid.

    Agreed. As a man of science myself, I find it so hard to buy into the ET hypothesis because of everything the professor has explained. Then again, this phenomenon is so mysterious that we can't rule it out, hence the lack of answers on the topic. I agree so much with professor Hanson and I share the way of approaching the phenomenon: fun speculation while trying to maintain a little bit of sense into the conversation via our current scientific knowledge of the cosmos.

    I love the direction you're taking this podcast, Ryan. I think some, or even many, people in The Community (especially newer people) will say, "Just show me the UFOs/UAPs!" but if even ONE of the explanations to The Phenomenon is "aliens/ETs bound by the laws of quantum field theory," then this is exactly the type of approach we need to take. Same with the prior episode on dark matter, etc.: if we're assuming a level playing field, we have to acknowledge what we know about "normal matter" but also show there are things we still don't understand, e.g., dark matter/dark energy. It may very well be that The Phenomenon are MANY things...but I think we can all agree and admit that one of the biggest hopes is alien life/ETs traveling the cosmos to reach us. So, in order to confirm or deny that, we need thoughtful, rational, and introspective discussions such as those offered here on your platform. I also appreciate the approach you are taking in both the civil aviation and scientific communities to build work and consensus. You're doing great things, and I encourage you to please continue. I may not live to see Disclosure (TM), but maybe my grandchild(ren) will, thanks to efforts like this that people like you have begun. Thank you, Ryan Graves.

    Hi Ryan, thank you for having the courage and conviction for doing what you do within this subject matter and for helping others that maybe afraid to look at it objectively. I have enjoyed all of your episodes thus far, however this one really struck a chord how open the conversation was and the discussion around what pilots see within the air space, liked the fact you gave more information around the objects, how they moved and the sensor system used. I do hope this will encourage others to come forward and say what they can about what they see, and hopefully, this will reduce the throw away comments like it was a balloon! and help them look at the bigger picture when investigating UAP.

    At last. We've been tangled in endless and long threads of agreed truths of uap but until this podcast had not woven the 'cloth' of the undeniable. This is the first time in our UAP history I have heard an intelligent discussion of the blindingly obvious. Maybe that was the hope - keep us stuck in a defense mode so we take longer to examine the important question: Okay, what's next. This will be recalled as the moment humans first saw a need to plan. My hope lies in the 'rot'.

    Robin has some great ideas! I enjoyed every minute of this episode. His *"Sibling Pan-spermia"* theory was particularly interesting. Imho, he's on to something there, if we searched for our Sun's siblings, in our galactic neighborhood, is a great start for searching for other intelligent life out there. Or perhaps older solar systems than ours in our galactic neighborhood. I feel like those are the best chances for finding signs, at the very least. We need to have 3 or 4 satellites, like the JWST, at the lagrange points to increase our capabilities. Or, have a satellite or 2 orbiting the moon, this would help us observe even farther than the JWST can observe.

    We live in a galaxy that had its beginning at the beginning of the universe. This was approximately 13.8 billion years ago. In the beginning, there were no planets for life for technological civilizations like ours to arise on, but eventually our corner of the universe did have a first one. Either we are the first or we are not. If we are first, we have our answer. If we wish to consider the alternative, the first was necessarily in the past. We know the speed of light, and we know the size of our galaxy. There are no physical constraints we know of to prevent an Earth like planet forming a billion years after the Big Bang. Whether that first planet is the one that eventually achieves interstellar replication doesn't matter too much, just that it can happen reasonably early. The energy and matter requirements of "going everywhere" are trivial compared to the matter and energy available to us in our solar system. Any conflict between alien civilizations would have happened long ago, because a plausible scenario of conflict existing for billions of years is difficult to support. Once the power structure is established, all other civilizations that arise do so within this power structure. It is only an enforcement mechanism that can address the idea of exclusivity (briefly explained that you have to explain why ALL aliens don't invade us.) We take our first steps into the galaxy as a species not knowing exactly what the rules are, but I believe it is reasonable that those rules exist and they have been tested with other species for a very long time. This to me doesn't feel like special knowledge, and I fully admit that we could be the first. In fact, as long as we're not being actively told not to do something I propose the following course of action: Act like we're the first until shown otherwise, but let's stay open minded and considerate of alternate possibilities.

    First time hearing this theory or the guest. Sounds pretty much on point. Incredibly interesting.
