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.
Thanks Ryan for putting yourself out there on this fascinating topic! You’re on the forefront leading the way
Been watching this guy for awhile. He’s totally an AI generated alien ambassador sent to Earth to educate us.

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.

Just stumbled upon this. Fascinating.
Great video Ryan! You are the best in class for sure. There are a few good content creators in this space out there, but you are becoming the gold standard very quickly….please keep up the Great Work!
If there would be an Arrival-kind-of-situation , Hanson would be my first choice to send as a human species representative. The way this guy's brain work is extraordinary.
Fascinating guest; well conducted interview. You guys made a solid team there. Thought provoking; took notes.
Always interesting conversation. Thank you for having this conversation out loud and so we can learn from too.

Ryan Graves- your light and intelligence shines with increasing brightness. Thank you for showing yourself to us and for facilitating this wonderful discussion.
Just came across this video. How did I miss this one until now? It’s great mental food. He’s articulating a lot of what has been pinging my mind and bothering me about how the questions about the UAP phenomenon are being framed. Really appreciate him putting it into clear language. I love the way this guy thinks! Reminds me a bit of Dr Atul Gawande. You’re doing fabulous work, Mr Graves. I hope you continue in this vein of integrity.

Same bro. This is Roberts best video. Very inspiring too
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.

What a great episode! Thanks a lot Mr. Hanson & Mr. Graves
Robin Hanson is awesome. I love this guy. And for some reason i find his breathy laugh amusing. 😊 And Ryans Podcast is far superior to that other fighter Pilot's podcast. He actually pays attention to his guests instead of scrolling through comments while the guest talks. His questions are intelligent and relevant and insightful.
This guy gets it. Probably the best discussion on the phenomenon. All scientists on AARO & the NASA panel on UAP etc. Always harping on needing “more data”. Which is just a smoke screen. There has always been data. They should be required to was this.
One of the most interesting and intriguing interviews I've seen. I want to find more podcasts like this with Robin.
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.
I learned so much from.this and as well as confirmed my theory on what we are dealing with. He defined it better than I could have very articulated break down . I give this a top 3 best videos on this subject I have seen to date . And makes sense. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
had to listen to this one twice back to back!
I forgot how much fun does this guy have when talking
Thanks. I really appreciated the analogy of being the king's brother, but not the king. And, I enjoyed the explanation of who they are, where they are from, what they are doing here, why do they only appear on the edge of visibility, and what our "leash length" might be.
Love this channel. Awesome new studio brother. Congrats on all your success in life and thankyou for spereadingthw word on UFOs. Ive seen them so to watch this is so so interesting
one of the best breakdowns of the topic ive ever heard
Mind expanding discussion. Thank you!
Thank you guys.Its so interesting!!!:-)
Picking Robin Hanson Brain About This Stuff Is So Interesting Bro Knows What He Is Talking About And Breaks It Down For Us To Understand This Man Is Very Intelligent 🧠💪🏽🤞🏽🔥💯
Ryan, you cover some excellent subject matter. You're certainly turning the cube around & looking at more sides than 1, excellent😊
I don’t have a whole lot of doubt for Ryan Grave’s accounts or his authenticity, but damn, Robin hit him pretty hard around the 01:58:00 mark. His vector of questioning was uniquely intuitive and right at it. If Ryan is not 100% authentic, Robin is a few points above. Great interview on whatever end of the spectrum here.
Always worthwhile, when someone puts together a recipe to squeeze info of landscape data to form guesses on the eco-system
WOW! What a brilliant conversation... thank you both!! 😎👍
Paradigm shifting episode. Thanks.
It seems the way in which these objects are presenting themselves alone, could be the answer to their expectations and requirements from us as a species very interesting and perceptive from both really enjoyed this conversation : )

Cheers Gravesey! Keep it up and let’s all get to the end of this phenomenon 🙏🏻👊🏻
Really enjoyed this discussion. your episodes always leave me with an expanded view
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'.
Good job at the hearing, Mr. Graves! Thanks for speaking out ,and thanks for looking out for our commercial and military pilots. It was really cool knowing your company is helping pilots have an avenue to tell their stories and try to get policy changes to reflect the modern world and the realities we have to face.
Great episode! I love Robins work. Makes you really think in macro and micro perspective at the same time. A blend of cosmology and basic social human behaviour.
Thank you, Ryan! Many awesome, thought-provoking interviews on your channel! I truly appreciate your efforts!
Brilliant! Needed more than ever.
With the US Navy's black-cube-in-sphere pointing to 'black box testing' (systems analysis), the most salutary output is Ryan's activism - whoever's doing the testing must be impressed :) As for Robin, I love hearing the focus on the social-science study of this potential other civilisation. Hypotheses such as his (and Kevin Knuth's) are excellent thought-fodder.
Incredible conversation.

Love this! Robin Hanson is so reasonable when talking about UAP, i wish he would be more open and lexx sceptical when it comes to the current developments in AI.
Fantastic guest, great show! Thanks Ryan
I am watching this on repeat, lovely conversation. Moving the conversation forward. Cheers 👽🛸🍻🫂💚
Thanks Ryan for sharing this it was very intriguing and important that we tuck it away in our heads for reference Robins take is a feast to behold.The path ahead is long and difficult and fraught with danger and we are prepared for anything.
*Whoa!?* 2hrs 25mins?! Awesome!! Diving in, headfirst. 👁❤🛸✌😄👍
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.
Amazing interview Ryan. thanks!
Mind blowing. Thanks guys
Yes! Thank you Ryan Graves! Such a good episode! So interesting! Keep it up!
This was an amazing podcast
The universe is much older than we expected.
Great show guys! A lot to think about.
Ryan Graves would hit a child is all I took away from this. KIDDING this was your best guest by far. Crazy how much he addresses to the Grusch whistleblower.
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.
Here,s the science...Great job Ryan.
I love Robin. So fun to listen to.
Fascinating, intriguing, want to learn more!
First time hearing this theory or the guest. Sounds pretty much on point. Incredibly interesting.
