From the unexplained to the mundane, come join us on a journey to the fringe.
Hello and welcome to Journey to the Fringe, where I think we introduce to the world the
throw forward. It's like a throwback, but you accidentally release episodes of a podcast
in the wrong order so that the jokes don't make any sense because they throw forward
the actual joke that they're referencing. They all make sense in the end. We are your
podcast hosts who are hilarious if you just wait another episode or two. Taylor and Chelsea,
you're today wrapping up the year that has been 2024. Now Chelsea, how you feel on about 2024?
Why didn't you prepare me for this question first of all? Because now I'm put on the spot.
I'm feeling okay. Depends on what you're asking me. Am I feeling okay about 2024? Okay, I feel like
you fell back on Fringy Mini topics right there. Yeah, maybe. I don't know, 2024 is a hard year to
pin down, I think. It is sad in that we've clearly seen an expanse of the extreme far right, which
we have profiled and may in fact be talking about today. You're right. If I think of this as the
Friday episodes, I feel okay about it. I think we had a good year. But if I look at it in terms of
Fringy Minis, I'm feeling disturbed. I think that would be the major category I'm feeling.
And I have to focus more on negatives than positives in the Fringy Minis just because
that's the world we inhabit. It's kind of getting shittier. Yeah, it is. It's okay. It's not, but okay.
We will continue to exist in this medium of existence, whether or not we want to. So
George is going to keep going. Happy, happy 2024 to everyone. Thank you. Like we do at the end of
every year, we feel that some of the topics that we talked about throughout the year might need
a follow up. And this is the time of year where we are those follow up so that everybody can see
if it's worth talking about a subject. I have many a subject to follow up on. I think this is
going to be a fun episode. And I think this is going to make for a very interesting 2025. Once
we get going through this, Chelsea, do you want me to start? Sure. I didn't think this episode
would need a follow up, but apparently it does. Do you remember we were talking about tires? Yeah.
Was that last this year? Last year? It was this year. This year. Yeah. I didn't think this follow
up would happen, but here we are. Apparently we didn't actually talk about the environmental impact
of tires that well. Okay. November 28, 2024 article was posted to fizz.org, which we've used many
a time. I think it's a pretty good website. It's written by Henry Obania and the article
titled Car Tires Shed A Quarter of All Microplastics in the Environment. Urgent action is needed.
Oh, fuck. Every year, billions of vehicles worldwide shed an estimated 6 million tons
of tire fragments. These tiny flakes of plastic generated by the wear and tear of normal driving
eventually accumulate in the soil and rivers and lakes. And even in our food, researchers in
South China recently found tire derived chemicals in most human urine samples. What? These tire
particles are a significant but often overlooked contributor to microplastic pollution. They
account for 20% of microplastics entering the environment globally. Despite the scale of the
issue, tire particles have flown under the radar often lumped in with other microplastics. They
are rarely treated as a distinct pollution category, yet their unique characteristics demand a
different approach. We urgently need to classify tire particles as a unique pollution category.
In our recent international study, colleagues and I found that this approach would drive more
focused research that could inform policies specifically designated to mitigate tire pollution,
and it could help ordinary people better understand the scale of the problem and what they can do
about it. Right now, the delegates are meeting in South Korea to negotiate the first global
plastic pollution treaty. While this landmark agreement is poised to address many aspects
of plastic pollution, tire particles are barely on the agenda. Given their significant contribution
to microplastics, recognizing tire pollution as a unique issue could help unlock target solutions
and public awareness. This is what we need to address the growing environmental threat.
Hire particles tend to be made from a complex mix of synthetic and natural rubbers,
along with hundreds of chemical additives. This means that the consequences of tire pollution
can be unexpected and far reaching. For instance, zinc oxide accounts for around 0.7% of a tire's
weight, though it is essential for making tires more durable. Zinc oxide is highly toxic for fish
and other aquatic life and disrupts ecosystems even in trace amounts. Another harmful additive is a
chemical known as 6PPD, which protects tires from cracking when exposed to air and water,
transforms into 6PPD quinone, a compound linked to mass fish diacin in the US, which I'm pretty
sure we knew about that stuff. Next parts would be heavy vehicles, which we know about. Regulatory
frameworks such as EU's upcoming Euro 7 emission standards provides a starting point for controlling
tire emissions, but additional measures are needed. Innovation in tire designs such as
eco-friendly alternatives to zinc oxide and other materials like 6PPD could significantly reduce
environmental harm, establishing a global panel of scientific and policy experts similar to ones
that already exist for climate science or biodiversity, and could further coordinate
research and regulatory efforts. Crucially, we must classify tire particles as a distinct
pollution category. Compared to conventional microplastics, tire particles behave differently
in the environment, break down in unique chemical compounds and present distinct toxicological
challenges. With more than 2 billion tires produced each year to fit ever heavier and more
numerous cars, the problem is set to escalate. The environmental toll will only increase unless
we recognize the target and the specific problem. Measures like weight-based taxation and eco-friendly
tire invasions will not only reduce tire pollution but also pave the way for more sustainable
transportation systems. The question isn't whether we can afford to act as whether we can afford not
to, and that's the end of the article. That unloaded a ton on me. I thought we knew about
tire pollution. We did not. And I feel like as a group we are informed on tire pollution. I thought we were not.
I mean it's not that funny. It's an uncomfortable laugh. I'll admit it.
And it's also just we thought like oh yeah we understand it. This is terrible. We're missing half
the story. Yeah. Great way to start off the New Year's resolution and that like maybe we don't use
our cars as much. Yeah. But with that Chelsea, anything else you want to say about that? No.
Okay let's move on. I have an update on the line. The most recent update I could get is July.
I'm constructionweekonline.com. If we are not familiar with the line it's a project of the
United Arab Emirates. Essentially just the line in which everything. It's a city built in a street
line. Yeah. In which everything that you would need would be within two minutes I think or
something like that. Right. I don't know. I'm going off memory at this point. Imagine a city was
built on a main street and that's it. And it was also all one building. Yeah. Construction work on
the line at Saudi Arabia's Neom Gigaproject is continuing apace. And that excavation gave me
a problem for a minute. I didn't recognize the word. Yeah. Excavation works for infrastructure for
the initial sectional modules are ongoing with multiple campsites completed and emerging. In
a LinkedIn post Neom's chief operating officer Giles Pendleton wrote, quote, lots of work visible
cross Neom as camps emerge and infrastructure excavations are starting to show true scale
of activities. And quote, he also shared aerial shots of the ongoing works in the world's largest
construction site. That's crazy. You guys I can't share this with so I don't know how to get you
these pictures but I can show Taylor right now. You can show me. We'll post some on our socials
when we get there. Did you see it? Yeah. Wow. Isn't that crazy? It goes on for a really long time.
It's actually not as much desert as I was expecting. Oh, you don't think that's desert?
Well, it is desert. It's just like rocky desert though where I was picturing like sand dune
desert. Really looks like a desert to me. Yeah. Here it is some more. It's like an airport. Well,
make a great one runway. In fact, what are they doing with the top? Maybe they can put a runway
on top. I mean, they could get out of here. I'm going to read this. Are there is it all going to
be HVAC? No, in May, Pendleton rebuted media reports that the line at Neom was being scaled down
from 170 kilometers to 2.4 kilometers saying that the project will be built in phases and that the
first phase is set to launch later this year. Well, the master plan for the line remains at 170
kilometers as we have always spoken about and we have always maintained it will be built in phases.
We're working on phase one, which we will launch later this year. Pendleton wrote in a previous
update on LinkedIn. He had also hit back at skepticism about the project's completion saying
that criticism must be in context. Quote, imagine trying to build 170 kilometers or a city for 9
million people all at once. That's like building New York or London in one go. It's impossible.
End quote. He commented in May, a 1.5 billion water desalination plan plan to supply water for Neom
in Saudi Arabia was effectively canceled after joint development agreement expired without
renewal. A revised project has taken its place that takes into account changes in expected
demand. Earlier in April, Bloomberg reported that the line will be scaled down from 170 kilometers
to 2.2.4 kilometers and accommodate approximately 300,000 residents. According to officials cited
in the report, this scaling down of the line's development coincided with delays in approving
Neom's budget for 2024 by the Kingdom Sovereign Wealth Fund, PIF. So that is basically it. After
this, it kind of recaps what the line is. The visionary initiative aimed to offer residents
easy access to all amenities within a 5 minute walk or 20 minute high speed rail transit. That's our
update on the line. It's still going in phases. I forget it's supposed to be done next year though,
correct? No, it's a much better project. Phase one, it looks like, yeah, 170 kilometers, they're
planning to make this a city in the line. So I would think it's much longer than that. I think
and you know, when your friends live on the other side of town and you're like, I don't really feel
like making a plan with them because it's going to take 20 minutes to get there. This town, the other
end of town is 170 kilometers away. That's pretty far actually when I think about it like that.
So I hope they have a way to address that. They probably don't, but whatever. Well,
yeah, it's probably the high speed train that goes within the line. But even then,
well, it has to stop at every stop, does it not? Yes, but I don't know that they're really addressing
that because at this point it's the line and it is what it is probably. I don't know. I'm not,
I'm just making this. Yeah, it's the line. Yeah, it's the line. But that's my line update. What do
you got? I got a story from CNBC from June 14, 2024 titled luxury homes on these beaches are
losing value. Facts of effects of climate change hit hard as sea level rise and storms intensify.
Coastal real estate is seeing flooding and erosion like never before from Dana Point,
California to Long Island, New York and then Tuckett, Massachusetts, which Chelsea, that's
how you say it. It's just, it's easy like that. Just say it like that. Yeah, I say it differently.
Massachusetts, can you do it? Especially if I'm looking at the library. I ask you to do it. Yes.
Some of the nation's priciest coastal real estate is in an increasingly precarious position due to
climate change. This year's hurricane season is already underway in the forecast for above normal
activity. We can skip this. It was above normal activity. It was awful. Just an awful hurricane
season that we didn't cover because we didn't have to do. It's not a fringe topic. Yeah, it's just
going. Various risk models have shown myriad projections of falling real estate valleys,
but the effects of climate change are already hitting the market and at a faster pace than most
expected, which this might just be because I read the collapse subreddit. But whenever you're
listening to people talking about climate change, the term faster than expected is in like every
article. It's just how it works. I don't think it's just there. I think it's in articles that we
read here too, which you can probably find in the collapse subreddit. Well, yeah, I'm reading it.
It might have come from collapse. Anand Tucket Home listed last summer for just over $2 million,
sold early this year for just $600,000, a barely remarkable nor'easter in the fall,
wiped away an astounding 70 feet of the beach it sits on thanks to sea level rise and unusually
intense rainfall. The buyer told the Boston Globe, quote, the price mitigates the risk to a good
decree, end quote, which I don't know. It mitigates it. He still spent $600,000 on the house. Yeah,
I was just going to say, and like, who would buy that for $600,000 even somebody who has way too
much money, they're like, I can throw $600,000 away for a decade or like five years, whatever.
Pretty much you're throwing it away. Because at this point, they know that person knows. Yeah,
see that nice each it's definitely not getting washed away. It's not going to lose 70 feet this
year. Oh, it did. Okay, that's fine. It should be fine next year. What are the odds you lose 70
feet of beach property in two years? Yeah, exactly. There have been several one sold in the mid sevens
and one sold the mid eights, which I know that sounds like a lot of money. But those houses,
if they weren't at erosion risk, would have sold for I don't know, 10 or $12 million, says Shelley
Walkwood, a real estate agent on Nantucket. Lockwood just launched a seminar for fellow agents to
help them reprice homes at risk, quote, I think we owe it is a duty to our client to tell them
what the risks are. And I was getting frustrated that that wasn't being communicated to my
satisfaction because I saw houses selling and I thought that's not worth it. It's falling in
the ocean and quote said Lockwood on the eastern end of Long Island, New York and Montauk, which
you know, I'm really curious if we ever get an update from like the Montauk underground base
of it's been flooded so they can't use it anymore. Not so far. Not yet, but we're getting close.
Yeah, I assume it will come a series of storms this winter had the community scrambling to bolster
its beaches and protect its multi million dollar homes. The water was coming in faster than ever
before quote where we've seen flooding in the past and the water subsiding right away. It's not
subsiding anymore. We have a friend that has a 10 million dollar home and he's not even sure what
to do with it because if he sells it, it's never going to be the 10 million dollars he bought it
for and quote said K Tyler, executive director of concern citizens of Montauk, which I'm never
going to be in a position where I sympathize with somebody who's not going to be able to get 10
million dollars for their house. Can you imagine being a part of that community and be like, oh
no, the multi billion dollar properties are about to collapse into the ocean. Let's go save them.
And they're not going to be able to resell them for 80 million dollars is only for 10 million
dollars. Please need to sympathize with us. Who is actually buying these homes? I think you're
right. And it's actual other millionaires that are just like, oh, fuck it. Yeah, I have 600,000.
Yeah, I don't even want it back. And then these houses are pretty much worthless, but they're
still going for like, that's less than 50%. What they're appraised at for oceanfront properties.
That's crazy. Looking at zip codes just on the east and Gulf Coast of the United States, 33 have a
median home value of at least a million. And in just these areas of combined, 77,000 and five properties
are at a significant flood risk, according to models by First Street, a climate risk data and
analytics firm that is roughly $100 billion in potential losses. Attorney Chris Barley, you
know what? I don't think that's the same Chris Barley that we would think it is. Although just
an aside to this, do you know who the CEO of Ford is right now? I mean, if you're asking me that,
no, I don't. It's Chris Farley's brother. For real? Yeah. Oh, is that weird or not? I find it weird.
I don't know if it actually is, but like, like, is he qualified? I think he's qualified. I don't
know for sure. I've never actually looked into Chris Farley's brother's credentials. Do you think
his credentials are Chris Farley's brother? His credentials are screaming comedies. Yeah,
I don't actually know. Doing a lot of cocaine, but not dying. But to go back to the article,
comment on that. There was always a risk to them for purchasing an oceanfront property. It just
came up on them faster than they thought it would. Yeah, and they're hoping it will bear the risk,
as we've seen with our rich people's emotions theme that we've been following. And I mean,
rich people clearly don't like this. No, they do not like this. There are definitely two sides of
this coin and the rich people are upset. Yes. Quote, I think we just put our heads in the sand.
Values weren't going down until the last 10 years, and it's still kind of been quiet reductions.
End quote said Farley. Farley pointed to one property which he said had an assessment of 2.2
million, has been assessed recently, but two others on the same street and seaside cliff have been
reassessed, one for 500,000 and one for 250,000. The cliff is eroding badly. We don't know the value
of those houses to begin with, but that is a huge drop off if they're considered the same value as
that other house. No kidding. Can you imagine how fucked that house is? That's 250,000.
It's totally teetering on the edges. It's already in the ocean Chelsea. Yeah, either that or the
water is coming into one of the rooms already. Which is really bad because it's on a cliff.
Wow, that's crazy. Wow. Quote, I would say 12 to 15 feet of sand is gone. End quote,
Farley estimated pointing to huge exposed geotubes underneath the cliff. They should be covered in
sand. Quote, they used to be able to walk down these steps right out and there was another stairway.
It's gone. So they have no more access to me. That affects the value of property when you can't even
use the waterfront that you bought to be okay. I feel less bad for these people that it's like,
oh no, I can't just walk out to the beach. End quote referring to the home has yet to be reset.
There's not that much article left, but go ahead. Okay. These geotubes are things they pump up to
try and keep the water away. Oh, interesting. On another Nantucket beach, the rising ocean has
pushed sand so far that it's burying homes. Sand covered two homes up to the windows and
uncovered the septic system and utility wires. Once those are exposed, the town has to condemn
the property according to Lockwood. Quote, this was not like this last fall. This has happened
this quickly. End quote, she said, homeowner John Comforty lives just next to those two homes.
Sand has risen so far it now covers his entire front yard. His deck, which used to have a
stairway down to the yard is now even with the sand. He has owned this home for 42 years and
already moved it back from the beach once. He moved his house back. Yeah. Okay. Quote,
we all say one more year. It's unbelievable what's happened. End quote, said Comforty.
Lockwood estimates that without the new risks to the homes from climate change, Comforty's home
would be worth 2.5 million. Quote, I don't know if you could sell it, maybe five, maybe 500,000,
maybe, but you'd have to have some buyer willing to lose it. End quote, she said, as more and more
homes lose value and see the property taxes reduced, the local economy could take a hit.
Minio taxes for everyone could increase to make up the shortfall. Nantucket residents are also
voting on which parts of the island need the most help and who will pay for it. Meanwhile,
in Montau, experts are reassessing coastal resilience plans made nearly a decade ago
after Superstorm Sandy because they're already outdated due to climate change. That's the end
of the article. I have so many thoughts on this. It's so crazy. Generally, they say real estate
just goes up because, you know, there's only so much land. Yeah. Well, there's probably that.
There's only so much land. And it's going away. Yeah. But the rich, the people who have the most
money, they want waterfront, they want to look at the water and now the ones with the money are like,
oh, shit, or property's losing value. And this might feel like it's incorrect, but just bear with
me here. We actually don't make rich people bear risks. If something goes wrong for them, we as a
society are required to bear their loss. And that's how it's worked for the last, unfortunately,
40 years. I feel like it might change someday in the future. But as of right now, no, that's not
how it works. If rich people lose something, we got to pay for it. Yeah. I was just going to say
in the article, it even addressed, maybe we're going to bear the risk for these people. But you
look at these people who chose to take the risk of having waterfront property and paying even more
for it. But there are unhoused people. There are people struggling. And you don't see people offering
up, especially these people with the millions and billions of dollars who have it to throw $600,000
away for a throw away beachfront property because it's going to be gone in a year. Like, they're
not throwing up the money to help these people who are unhoused that can't afford even a property
that's not beachfront. No, and that's because we believe in prosperity gospel and that people who
have money deserve the money and are good. And people do not have money are inherently bad and
or a different race than me and bad. And that's the gospel of AI Jesus. No, that's the gospel of
normal preachers. I don't know what AI Jesus is preaching. I actually think it might be better
than that because he's actually going to get on. Yeah, I'd be so interested. Like, how do we get a
hold of AI Jesus? I would love to have him for an episode actually. It would do. The important
thing to say, like really more talking about it between rich people and the homeless and how was
this being available? There's more empty houses in North America than there are homeless people,
Chelsea. That has never been a problem. The problem is that it's not profitable to put them in houses.
Oh, that's sad. It is. And that's why I'm not a conservative. There are many reasons why I'm not
a conservative. Yeah, there's this many more than that. But if you want to put it bluntly, that's
the easiest way to tell you why I'm not conservative. Okay, now it's my turn. I don't know if you have
an update on this as well. We may possibly have a crossover on this one. And by crossover, I mean,
we might be jointly talking about this. This next one is going to be about the unsettling rise of
Nazism for the past years. Yes, I do have an article on that. But we'll see what article you do and
what they're not. It might very well be the same thing because there was just recently something
to very update this on. Which is the election? Yeah, you might have a different article. So I would
actually like to hear it if it's not. This one is from CNN by Hannah Park, November 18th title,
with swastika flakes and bellowed slurs, neo-nazis marchers strode through Columbus, Ohio's governor
and officials condemn it. Ohio officials have denounced a small contingent of neo-nazis who
paraded Saturday afternoon through a Columbus neighborhood, waving flades, featuring swastikas
and shouting a racist slur in the latest public demonstration by white nationalists in recent
years across the United States. Around a dozen people in black pants, shirts and head coverings,
their faces obscured by red masks, march along the street near downtown Columbus as three carry
black flags emblazoned with red swastikas footage provided to CNN affiliate WBNS shows. At least
one person yelled, I'm gonna bleep this out, even though I'm not actually gonna say it again and
again according to the video that's garnered online attention far beyond Ohio's capital. Of
course it is. The group strode past low-rise brick buildings, housing a salon and a clothing
boutique along with cafes serving tacos, cookies, coffee and bar grub as its leader
shouted through a black bullhorn. Columbus public safety dispatchers got night one-one calls around
1 30 p.m. reporting a group marching in the short north area. The dispatchers told the station,
Columbus's mayor condemned the cowardly display and asserted the city's commitment to standing
against hatred and bigotry. We will not allow any of our neighbors to be intimidated,
threatened or harmed because of who they are, how they worship and whom they love.
Mayor Andrew Ginther, a Democrat, wrote on social media. Ohio's governor also condemned
the demonstration, describing those involved as spewing vile and racist speech against people of
color and Jews. There is no place in the state for hate, bigotry, anti-semitism or violence and we
must denounce it whenever we see it. Republican Governor Mike DeWine said, the number of events
organized or attended by white supremacists in the United States hit a new high last year at 282.
The anti-hate, anti-defamation league reported, marches and public gatherings of white nationalists
or people with noxiflegs have unfolded in recent years in Nashville, New Hampshire, Boston,
Arkansas, Virginia, Washington DC and Michigan, where flags with swastikas were toted this month
outside a community theater performance of the Diary of Amphrak. Oh my god, that's awful. The
swastika since 1945 has been the most significant notorious hate symbols, anti-semitism and white
supremacy for most of the world, with roots tracing to the murderous legacy of Germany's Nazi party,
especially the Holocaust, according to the Anti-Defamation League. The ADL noted that the
Columbus event aligns with the troubling trend of white supremacist incidents. Quote, over the
past few years, hundreds of white supremacist marches and events have been organized around the
country, aiming not only to instill fear and anxiety in the communities they target, but also to serve
as photo opportunities for these groups to use in the recruitment and online propaganda.
Said Orrin Segal, vice president of the ADL Center on Extremism. When white supremacist starts
competing for turf or visibility, the losers are the communities that they impact, Segal told CNN.
In Ohio, no arrests were made during Saturday's events, though police briefly detained some
marches according to WBNS CNN had reached out to Columbus police for more information. Columbus
community leaders organized a unity march, well yeah. So that's the end of the article. I would
also like to say they were just protests in Canada, in Montreal, I think it was. And there is also a
video of, I think it was just one girl giving a Nazi salute that I saw come across on a news
article I was reading. The story you're reading, I had a similar article to it, but while you were
talking about it, I found a better article. I shouldn't say better than what you did, better
than what I found so that I can add to what you said. From Wired, it came out November 26, 2024.
Neo-Nazis are on the march across America. A recent neo-nazi rally in Columbus, Ohio drew national
attention, but it was just one of dozens that increasingly involved in white power groups
that have held this year. On November 16th, 11 days after the presidential election, a dozen neo-nazis
from a group called the Hate Club 1488 brazenly marched across Columbus, Ohio carrying swastika
flags. We heard this. On the same day, about 500 miles south around eight mass neo-nazis from
several groups came together to hold a, sorry, eight mass neo-nazis from several groups. Huh,
okay. To hold a roadside demonstration in Decatur, Alabama. They brandished signs containing
anti-Semitic anti-immigration and general racist statements. The demonstration in Decatur received
no media attention, much less condemnation from the president. But researchers say that both
rallies are a part of a disturbing pattern of increasingly hateful demonstrations led by neo-nazis
who have the boldened to use explicit Nazi imagery. Wired compiled all reported instances of similar
neo-nazi demonstrations, leaned from local news reports and social media and counted 34 in total
in 2024 across 16 states. That's compared to about 30 in 2023, 22 in 2022 and four in 2021.
Oh my God, that's insane. Experts say they are now happening with such frequency that they risk
becoming normalized. Oh my God. And although hardcore neo-nazi groups tend to eschew electoral
politics, they view Trump and his second presidency opportunistically. Blood Tried leader Christopher
Polhouse, known as Hammer, you know he's going to those white oriented metal festivals. Oh yeah,
the black metal festivals. Yeah. The neo-nazis black metal festivals. Hammer. He celebrated Trump's
victory after the election in a post on telegram. Thanks, Trump, he said. Cheaper gas will make it
easier to spread white power across the whole country. Oh God. Oh God, that is awful. These are
laughs of unexpressed neo-nazis. Comfortableness. Yeah. Yes. There I go. That's like every one of
our laughs on this show to be fair. They're inane. It's true. He's after the election, a group of
neo-nazis gathered outside of community theater production of the diary van Frank in Howell,
Michigan to show anti-Semitic slurs. They chanted, Hail Hitler, Hail Trump, according to news reports.
Yike. Most of the demonstrations observed in recent years have been led by the same handful of
networks and organizations, which despite their small membership numbers have become increasingly
visible. These particular extremists fall under the categorically motivated violent extremists,
which according to the FBI, director Christopher Wray are among the biggest domestic terror threats
across the U.S. I would imagine there's a lot more to it. I think this is far enough as we need to
go just because we do have a lot more to go through. And this is terrifying. This is just sad. Yeah,
this is more than sad. It's terrifying. I just need to say this now. If you think you're better
than other people because of where you were born, stop listening to the show. It is not
worth listening to the show. If you're willing to at least hear out another Indian show, continue
listening because we'll talk about it at some point. Like that's just this is not good. This is
not good. I can't imagine what kind of life you would live to be like, I need to join hate club
1488 or anything in this article. I can't. I can't. If you're joining your group 1488,
I have to assume you know what that means. And Chelsea, do you know what 1488 is? Oh,
I thought it was just a number they assigned to it. No, 1488 is a very specific number. 14
is the 14 words and 88 is H is the eighth letter of the alphabet. So it means hail,
hail her and then 14. David Eden Lane, one of nine founding members of the defunct white supremacist
terrorist organization that were the 14 words are, we must secure the existence of our people
and a future for white children. So whenever you see 1488 or some iteration of that, that's what
they're talking about. Okay, I didn't know that that's what that meant. I thought it was maybe just
the club number. No club number 1488 is a very specific throwback to white supremacy and Nazism.
Well, I feel better knowing I didn't know that. Yeah, it's actually a very awkward thing to know.
And like, how do you bring that up with people do not bring it up at a dinner party? We do not
condone that message. Don't ever bring it up at a dinner party. Do we have something late-hearted
to talk about or an update? Kinda from that article, we're going to move to the video because this is
not good news. But man, are we going to have some fun? Chelsea, if I were to use the term
tran ma, who do you think we're going to be watching a video of? I don't know. Okay,
someone with the last name Tran. No, I looked into Bill Moore, he's still dead. I looked at
John Keele, still dead. I looked at Corgi Ode, not doing much, but alive. I've looked at a few
episodes that we've done this year. Somebody has awoken. I found out this video was posted four days
ago from when making this episode. So we need to watch this. I am going to share my screen right
now and you are going to learn a lot right now. Navigating the car to McBurn. I don't know what
to expect from what you're about to show me. It's uncomfortable. It feels like he's talking to me.
What's wrong with his face? Hey, welcome to the show. I'm your intrepid, fearless,
and now somewhat toothless host. He's toothless. Yeah. And just for those who are in the betting
pool, it ended up being the white shirt for the day. Yeah, no, he does this many times, Chelsea.
We need to see what David Wilcox up to right now. Nothing burger. You get nothing. And he has
satisfaction of in very many ways. Your peers and having that sense that you were right,
your mother was wrong, and then that's creating some type of legal satisfaction for you.
Tenture. Because apparently you're into that kind of stuff. He has teeth problems. The shirt's
going to come up a lot. You know, having intellectual superiority of some kind. So yes, if you guess the
white shirt, you are the winner. I kind of, I don't know if I really like it now that I'm looking at
it, but what the hell, we committed to it. It's a white shirt day. It's a little bit bland, a little
bit boring, but what the hell? Does it look like this? We're here, you're here. What did he do with
his hair? We have a particular family member of our relation who has hair exactly like this.
5000 Argentinian pesos. And it's just not good. You know, $5. So thank you very much to Routina. I
see we've already had some other donations. We don't talk to her. Yeah, we had Brian Smith said
he's seen saturation in the skies this week. So anyway, I'm really excited, you guys. This is
the moment that we've been waiting for. He looks like he belongs in Whoville. Very close now to
really big epic things happening. And I just realized I didn't fix my camera too.
I'm going to go ahead and do that right now. Oh, I love this. This guy's in the way.
He has made so many turns since we talked about him and we're going to do so much better.
We're going to do so much better. Okay, perfect. He's constantly changing camera angles. All right.
So we're back in action after, did you miss me a whole week? Can you stand it? Can you stand
not having a David show for an entire week? I actually haven't seen him in way more than a week.
That's our host. Will Cock once again. And I have been commenting on this incredible
Karmic burn that we are all navigating right now. I've had my own challenges to bear.
And if you've been a regular watching this show, then you know that we have a lot going on in the
world right now. A little cross. This is a very exciting, intense, low base and definitely scary
time. Yes, scary time. It's not a normal time at all. We're at the very end of something huge.
And unfortunately, a lot of people still don't know what the hell is going on. And they're very
afraid right now. They're worried about nuclear war. Very concerned with the way he's looking.
You shouldn't be. I guess it's been a lot of very interesting setup hearing about them to create
a global awakening and to expose the real danger that we're all facing in the world. So don't
get him to the camera angle again. And if you are worried and if you are living in fear, imagine
like his thought process behind this, like I need to have different cameras. Oh, he has at least
seven shells. Future for us. Oh, he did. He's only using the two best right now. You know,
he has a two level camera just in case. He's just gonna say.
Name scheme. And he's saying to them so you can't know. November up to November, whatever happened
in November, you know what I'm talking about. Gotta be careful. What I say.
I was the screen. And if you don't really understand what's going on, this is four days
ago battle between the Alliance and the DS. Oh, shit. So also if you need a bra, this is the
center. That's that's what we got. If you haven't seen the show before. And what I was saying is
that November was not a contest between a man and a woman running for office. It was something much,
much bigger than that. It was actually a proxy war between two huge factions, both of which
are almost entirely secret. And I was expecting that we were going to have a prolonged vote
counting type of situation that there wasn't going to be any immediate relief. Maybe I'll
tighten that up that might make it look a little bit better just. I'm not really in love with the
shirt. There we go. That's fine. So we had that's okay. No, we can tell it's white. We got to we
got to change it up so that you guys don't get bored. I don't want you to start to wander outside
of our relationship for pleasure. I hope you can be monogamous in this.
You can watch what I don't care. But just come here on. So he gets more.
We're going to take care of you. We'll give you a hot meal and a place to sleep. We'll get you
off the streets. Get you cleaned up a little bit. Maybe get you some clothes from the Salvation Army.
I could certainly do better than this shirt myself. But what the hell I committed to it.
Also Chelsea notice.
Which means I'm generic. I don't have any rights. I'm kind of just
there for the taking whoever wants to take from you.
What? That was one of the mentalities that we had. That was my first big no this event.
There's a political underside of this. It starts to make a lot more sense.
What the fuck was that? At least now I've got to start looking. There's more that's going to come.
Just like be accepted. A couple of your comments because what the hell I'm in a good mood.
Thomas Bay says nice there Garcon. Oh, I gave it to Michael says Gail Collins. I knew it white.
It looks good. Not bland says Jenny Jean Razzle. Well, thank you. I'm flattered.
You just had your teeth fixed. No, I didn't have my teeth fixed. That's the problem. There's
actually a loose one in my mouth right now. Just say those. But anyway, we had some crazy donations
coming in. Roger Zubaric is hitting us off big time here. So let's go back a little bit so you
can see all these that have come in just in a very short time. We had Michael Larson. Thank you
David for what you do. Here's some turkey food. We had Judy Booth. Thank you God bless.
And I don't know how they do. Did anything happy in my happen in Miami this past week? No fly zone.
That's your first super chat. Thank you very much. This is a one man thing. I don't have anything on
Miami but I got a great show. Roger Zubaric $20. You're the best show on earth. Don't worry about
the shirt. Thank you Roger. Senior soot from New Zealand. I don't care about the shirt. I do care
about no one knowing how the pyramids were built. I take a lot of satisfaction from ridiculing people
with that in mind. You need Jesus they say how did the pyramids get built? Listen to this answer.
Well actually the pyramids were built by Rah who was the harbinger of Christ and we'll talk about
that maybe a little bit more. I like the shirt white for purity. So okay you guys aren't you
guys aren't unhappy. It's probably just me. So let's see here. Hold on a second.
Master Kenobi what's your take on his picks for the the government for exposure to the cabinet
made the force be with you. We are definitely getting into that big time. We got Trent Malik
thanks for everything you do and we got Ed Kreeter love you Tranma. Well you know because
it was requested with money Tramal loves you too baby. In fact as you know no Tramal can embroider
her own her own name. No. She's got a nice embroidery here for you. Look at all the trouble I went to
to do this. Look at all the sacrifices that I make for this okay sacrifices that I have to make
for this family in order to be able to do embroidery as crochet and needlepoint whatever the hell this
is this is crazy and in addition to that I've also got this one which is just sort of like
this Tramal the great I am. I am Tramal I am a grand woman. I identify as a grand woman
and I got a goddamn tooth broken out of my jaw so that makes it even more crazy today.
Thank you for being here love and kiss oh my god I'm butting myself.
Getting serious once again you know you can't stay in character for too long some
millennials get very nervous they say what's going on what happened to the show where David
don't worry it's just comedy. I'm not actually identifying as a grand woman maybe I am you know
but it works for me so like that's that's the character that I've embodied at times
thank you for being used as Nuna B's MT Herrick says the best part of Sunday is knitting with David.
It works for him he's done actually doing it. Fans give me all kinds of funny stuff
but I did I do have a fetish whip you know so if there ever needed to be any type of immediate
erotic spanking that has to be doled out to this audience because you guys have been so bad.
Man I'm ready so this is this is always at the ready we got lots of great tools here
to enhance your viewing enjoyment to double your pleasure double your fun. This is not what I expected.
If you're old enough to remember what that means then congratulations you can hang out with Tramal.
Oh that's that double mint wriggly spearman gum thing right double mint I remember all that.
Anyway Jenny Jean Razzle says you look great in white I've been seeing so much activity in the
sky I can't wait for our cosmic cousins to show themselves thank you. Make your stickers for your
auto company. Uh says Michelle Meese we can do that. So you can use the words to both the white
shirt but not the rest of this. Don't offer to spank people they might want it lol says fuzzy tiger
cat that's true anything you promise you actually have to deliver if you want to have integrity.
When will you talk about crypto says Chris Anderson is it part of the alliance's agenda yes I think so
I don't know exactly how that's going to play out but Bitcoin seems to have been doing really well
and I think the markets are happy about the way that this whole thing has gone down
with the results that we saw in November. So Skywatcher Carlos says I need your money well
you're not going to get very much brother I mean maybe once the company gets financed I'll be well
off but I've had three solid years of almost complete bankruptcy I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
Thankfully most of this year we had a board member who was helping Stavadi along I've only
helped a couple times but we are right now in the brink of having things happen we have a verbal
promise for the first 110 that's going to come in for our two projects which is the SM what is it
it's the SM 150 and then there's one other I can't even remember right now I mean it's it's it's been
confusing for Veronica Lucia donated thank you very much your third super chat main in the house
says and Chelsea Bitcoin is going to be a black hole how much do you think he knows about his
electric car company seems like very much it's kind of a depressing where she the first one
oh yeah no this is we we are learning this right now you don't say this is what we're going to
learn about this year is coming out but he only knew about SM 150 and couldn't name the other models
so most of these new ageers like and so it is I do that one a lot sometimes I say amen I just you
know there's there's certain people who are triggered about Christianity and I try to be
honoring them because if I just went hardcore Jesus then that's going to exclude people who are
not ready to understand what the Christ really is but I talk about this almost every week the
Christ consciousness is the consciousness of the galaxy and of our universe it is actually an
intelligent cosmos consciousness evolving donated got nine likes grant Armstrong said I watched every
guy episode wisdom teachings was fire thank you very much so yeah we've already got 3,411 people
and we're only 13 minutes in that's really freaking incredible so thank you guys for showing up
thank you for so Chelsea I just want to really point out appreciating the white shirt you know
it's just he just said that Jesus built the pure day I said what but he can't I'm going to take
my chances I'm yeah oh yeah he said that earlier but he can't say amen or anything regarding Christianity
because it might throw people off of his I love reading your comments but I also don't want to be
here for five freaking hours I mean I would just say that one thing within the first 12 minutes
I have a very intense proxy battle like the most between the alliance and the ds is this not gold
though Chelsea you will soon enough but what is the alliance the alliance is aging like
military most of the community and a surprise but not into Jesus not into cheese who are all
interested in world peace and the real source of why we don't have that one piece as it turns
out is this thing we're calling the ds and so what is the ds it is a secret Babylonian Roman
cult that actually practiced we haven't even heard the end of the battle that is the white the white
colors uh diabolical I've only listened to half hour every time I do he gets really really depressed
he doesn't want his own mommy and daddy in the political sense sorry dad but you know I'm just
gonna be honest a lot of people are not ready to find out that mommy and daddy are evil and if
they find out they get really scared and the idea of the ds being brought to justice is really
scary to somebody like my dad the idea of trials the idea also it really depressed changes but
camera was a terrible Chelsea he has 3 000 people watching him live they're still gonna be
I would love to jump in there if I knew this was happening I can't take the way you pause this
he's looking at me right I would love to post with like some money attached to it like hey
the jury to the branch has done a really in depth podcast review of your history I'd love you to
plug them maybe it also seems to always be outside of that but if anyone listening right now would
like to do that on our behalf and do a second yeah you're telling me you're right outside there would be invisible forces at work
but if you're having the hallucination it also like to see if you comment on Cory goodman health at
gunpoint by guy demonic entity so yeah we got a deal with the allison car thank you very much thanks for
the donation why does he do that is it is it set to random that it works for whatever reason in this
galaxy you can have ordinary but he doesn't seem ready for it like Chelsea did you see that and even
worse no there's one where he does it shows up then and he's sitting looking at his computer
and he kind of looks at the number of the group and it says oh shit it's changed and these entities
have a surprisingly large amount of influence over people telepathically these entities actually can
control to some degree or another the way that humans actually function and work so one of the
things I haven't really got okay this is the big part I wanted to get you to Chelsea is the idea of
demonic possession we're gonna see where his politics are and then you realize if you start and he has
the alliance and the yes spiritual which he struggles to actually say every time he really
tries to do it yes stands for deep state anger that's all it stands of jealousy but thoughts of
we'll see where he stands on fear now thoughts of extreme sadness if you start having negative
emotions where you want power over others you want to manipulate people you want to lie to people
lying is a big one controlling people then guess what the universal law stipulates that this is
my left shoulder right your it's your right my left that this demonic entity on your left shoulder
figuratively speaking can begin sending thoughts into your mind now depending upon how far along
somebody is on the psychopath spectrum if they go into a tantrum and they start yelling and they
start acting violent they may be almost in full possession from that demon from some type of
negative entity that is always watching us moment by moment and always waiting for us to start going
down a negative road and so again no one is exempt from this you cannot get saved and be free from
this there is no way to exercise those demons except in the law of one system oh not as sexual
through faithful diligent practice of positive spirituality that's the only thing that's going
to help you you can't make it go away my lips are really freaking dry you guys we're in full
blown winter out here now so it's intense and uh we're gonna have a moose video for you guys coming
up but anyway now they like feel really greasy okay it's gotta be halfway wipe it on your sock
nobody's gonna care or notice all right that's a lot better so look i'm not trying to scare anybody
here we got another donation that came in golden threads what's wrong with the last craft in the
sky at night now we'll practice in contact five protocols are you seeing increased sightings
where you are and it goes without saying you're doing great love and light thank you golden threads
we're up to four thousand people now so yeah i mean i don't really get a lot of sightings but i do
have turkey sightings moose sightings deer sightings squirrels chipmunks although they haven't been
around for a while um the chipmunks are the burgers of the forest and they all die out by the end of
the season they've all been eaten we have coyotes we have mountain lion we have cougars bobcats
bears everything shannon benninger just donated 20 thank you very much demons are real rise your
frequency yes let's get back to that that's linda baker said that the point is you can't make it go
away except through the you can tell he does not give a shit about this anymore i think he's
drinking up until the pro can't just say oh i'm a spiritual person and then engage he's switching it
he's switching it competitive you see that yeah i did see it at that point i feel like the first
half was random getting easily irritated if you're irritated all the time it's really time i mean
he's showing his age you might not know what he's doing if you're irritated and you keep taking it
out on other people and you take your own internal angst and now you want to make it somebody else's
fault and so you blame other people for for your own anger that's a very very common thing that people
do they want to have a relationship where there's a person they can always vent their frustrations
on somebody who's willing to take it and so a big part of what we're dealing with in this proxy
battle between the alliance and the deeps you know what is that uh the ds is that it's actually
a battle between love and hate it's a it's this is just a symbolic level of it is very important
the real fact is that the alliance is being helped by positive angelic human extraterrestrials
the ds is being helped by demonic entities that do exist both sides of this war are real and if you
have let's go back to the camera i did that before which was this one if you so so this is where the
negative end would be your left shoulder right if you go negative then your thoughts go negative
you're going to hear those you're going to have thoughts come into your mind that are fueled
by negative entities this is actually real according to law of one similarly when you have
thoughts of love peace forgiveness compassion is now positive angelic entities are always around
you all the time and they start sending you energy to help you and so you will have increased love
increased patience increased compassion and that's how the universe actually works oh we're almost at
the point i wanted to get to the good is rewarded with positive karma and if you act negatively
you actually experience negative karma it's not very scary between these videos swaps negative karma
is very real if you cut your finger if you were you know cutting with a knife and all of a sudden
you cut your finger open he saw him at c five of them just thinking right before that happened
i got chunks of skin on my lips there we go try to think of what was happening right before you
cut yourself and say like okay did this accident that happened to me whatever it is have a reason
so one of the things i noticed the most frequently is that when somebody is on the psychopath spectrum
they are extremely sarcastic disrespectful and cynical about anything having to do with karma
you think that because you said such and such that that happened to you karma right right
no no no it's a very intrinsic level of awakening to understand as it says in the bible as you so
so shall you reap what goes around comes around the hindus called the law of karma
uh once you really begin to grasp that karma not only works but it's extremely precise
you've begun this path of awakening that i'm talking about you're living in a hologram and it
takes a big perspective shift to understand that karma is real it takes the recognition
that other people around you can be invisibly manipulated to bring about positive or negative
karma and the power that the positive beings have to bring you positive karma is incredible
so the universe is like a gumball machine and if you put love in you get love gumballs out and you
can chew those and they're very sweet and delicious you can't eat this whereas if you're putting out
anger negativity and hatred you are going to get nailed it doesn't matter if you understand it or
not ignorance is no excuse for the law if you do negative stuff if you engage in manipulation and
control you're going to get nailed so he has been trying to coin his own term the ds so
listen to this part accordingly the brains that are adversely affected all but three or four of them
show a diminution in their electrical activity and there is a rotting there's actually rotting
in the brain in the form of fungus this all encompasses the frontal lobes which is where
there's emotion and love and spirituality and so people on the psychopath spectrum they're dulled
their frontal lobes don't even function that tissue is rotting there's no electrical activity on an
MRI and they all have as i've said in many other shows a very predictable set of behavioral ideologies
they always seem to have a high degree of narcissism they always seem the very first thing on the list
for the psychopath is is the word glib which means they talk too much so one way to tell it's not the
not every case okay sometimes we just like to talk but if you have a person who's just always talking
and they always want you to listen to them that may be an indication of psychopathy
they they lie they have no problem with lying they're compulsive liars they are usually sex addicts
of some kind or another sex addiction can be treated but fundamentally speaking if you use
other people for pleasure but you don't really intend to be with them and you manipulate them
and lie to them in order to hook up and just get your rocks off but you're not really interested
in any commitment that's psychopathic that's another example so what i'm right i know i love
process denigrate and destroy first when they come into your life they deify you you may never
have been complimented this much by anybody before they really seem to look up to you
and that's the hook that's how they that's the relationship acquisition mode then they have
the denigrate phase as soon as they feel like they can trust that you're not going to run away
they start knocking you down and so one of the ways you can tell if somebody's a psychopath
does he have to change it early along when you first start getting together with
he does and he describes himself right okay experiment with that and see what are you going
to do if they give you a startling insult are you going to push back or are you going to try to
apologize you know another way that you can tell if somebody's on the psychopath spectrum
is that you're always apologizing you're always in trouble you're always being accused of
of violating their extreme sensitivity they're very very sensitive they're actually fragile people
and as you get more anew it you discover that because of these
shut down parts of the brain they actually have deficiencies in their cognitive functioning
and so you'll get things like people who have learning disabilities doesn't mean that if you
have a learning disability that you're a psychopath but psychopaths cannot necessarily run a small
business successfully on their own they can't juggle a bunch of complex tasks it's harder for
them to learn it's harder for them to perform certain tasks and so they typically want to be
in some type of domination in which they are telling you what to do and then you got to go
out there and make their dreams come true they're the dreamer and you're the doer and you have to
do everything for them they want you to clean up after them they want you to do everything they
want you to you know make the money then they get suspended how they want and so what we are seeing
with the ds is an organized we have in this because it's going to keep going it doesn't stop
with golden things to talk about i need to go watch like because i could not control myself for a
little bit it is beautiful every single thing that he was saying or just doing and where we ended
off i just need to point this out as somebody who used to kind of think about karma as something
that happens we have no way of knowing what the universe would consider good or bad therefore
we have no way of knowing what we are being rewarded for or punished for and what the universe
would consider punishment for or rewarding those topics so just like fuck off right with that i was
a treat thank you for that and every every second of that was golden and i was laughing so hard at
birds i couldn't breathe i did not realize he went right down the trompe hole like right down
well you can tell i also didn't know that you once were called oh jeez i wonder what sign you put as
the ds and the alliance who has also happened to be the military who's the good guys
i can't even oh i was good i needed that i feel like we might get a new david wilcock episode
this year just because he happened to very specifically mentioned that car company is
gonna start up again this year oh i'm glad it's starting up again i feel like we're gonna get
some liquid uh sorry not liquid yes audio old out of David will talk i don't want the liquids
of people will come please is it a what kind of gumball oh it's a tranma gumball a man a man who
identifies as a grandma that's the shittiest joke i think i've ever seen he really thinks he's so
funny okay is it time for me yes is dot org thank you fizz dot org is it yeah september 7 2024 this
one's fi zedzett just kidding it's all about the bubbly drinks the title is hold on i don't know who
wrote this it doesn't have it writer columbian court orders escobar's hippos to be hunted
oh yeah we're here for this update i'm nothing with thriving and they are and that's the problem
yeah taylor just summarized it all right there columbian court on friday called for the hunting
of hippos introduced to the country in the 1980s by drug king ping pablo escobar the administrative
court of cundin america set a three month deadline for the ministry of environment to issue a
regulation that contemplates measures for the eradication of the species is affecting the
area's ecological balance in their homeland africa the animals are responsible for more human
deaths than almost any other animal but in columbia the hippopotamia have become loved members of the
local community and a tourist attraction why are they so good in the community they don't eat food
they dress up as Santa at the christmas season they've also been increasingly posing problems
for the local community near escobar's old ranch in antiquia state one that experts worry may soon
turn deadly after escobar's death hippos from his private zoo made their way into nature in an area
of abundant vegetation and where there are no predators there are now some 166 of the two ton
beasts wandering freely attacks on fishermen have been reporting on the magdalena river and experts
argue manatee populations could be threatened though animal rights activists and tourism workers
opposed they have manatees in those rivers yes so we know that i actually kind of want to see a
hippomanatee fight i did not know that well why don't we just get them to breed together and then
there will be no problems and we'll see we're happy but i don't i don't think they could maybe not
i don't know it's an idea i floated that would be a sexy solution yes that's what i would call it too
i'm going to an ai and seeing if they can answer this well you do that i'll continue reading the
court specified that measures to eliminate the hippos should include controlled hunting and
sterilization we already knew that they can't find their balls the environmental ministry had
already announced hippos and manatees are different species and cannot breed with each other hippos are
large semi-aquatic mammals native sub-saharan africa while manatees are aquatic mammals found in
rivers and lakes they have different physical characteristics and reproductive behaviors
and we can't fight hippo balls i assume it says later on that's the end of the fact that's just
the known fact xai jesus environmental ministry had already announced last year plans to sterilize
part of the population while euthanizing others as part of an effort to contain the growing
number of hippos the sterilizations have proceeded slowly while no cases of euthanasia have been
carried out plans to move the animals to mexico india the philippines have also floundered
see this just updated everything why did they even say they were trying to euthanize someone they
said they haven't killed any of them it's a slow process maybe next year we'll have another
maybe wex you're one of them will have cancer good news we found one hippo with a high
microplastic content it's gonna have cancer within 10 years the microplastics killed it guaranteed
okay what's your next update that's all the updates i have okay i have a couple more can i yeah you
can because we were just talking about david wilkoch can i just add that he had that really weird
joke about how he's a white person who has no rights anymore that was that was awkward yeah that was
like a q and on thing or just i mean yeah it was awkward to say the least i mean that whole thing i
hated but it was the funniest thing i think i've seen in a long time i hated it it's beautiful 10
or 10 would not change the thing this is what i live for that was the best update i could ever had
okay this one is from reasor.org first human whale conversation achieved with ai you won't
believe what they said now this could be an update on a couple things ai or what was that guy's name
again quain quain in a studying breakthrough scientists have successfully held a conversation
with the humpback whale by a california-based research team this remarkable human whale conversation
was made possible through advanced artificial intelligence and sophisticated underwater
technology many thoughts that defeat was impossible but now it has opened up new avenues for understanding
marine life and beyond humpback whales known by the scientific name migupera no v angela no one's
gonna know that but they're renowned for their intelligence they can grow up to 60 feet long
and weigh around 40 tons according to dr friend sharp from the alaska whale foundation these
majestic creatures are capable of extensive migration traveling up to 5 000 miles between
feeding and breeding grounds and are celebrated for their complex social behaviors they create
tools such as nets made of bubbles to catch fish and extensively communicate through songs or
social calls as you can imagine humpback whales have captured the imagination of marine biologists
in the public with many determined to uncover more about their behavior and communication methods
most recently a research team led by dr brenda migawin from the university of california davis
part of the whale city project played a recorded humpback whale contact call through underwater
speakers of the alaskan coast to their surprise a humpback whale whom they dug twain suddenly
approached the teen's research vessel and responded by initiating a human-like conversation
the last 20 minutes we believe this is the first such communicative exchange between humans and
humpback whales in the humpback language dr mcgown said this isn't oh this is just from
november 25th with their conversation with twain alone the whale seddie team was able to determine
using ai algorithm driven analysis that the whale was admitting a greeting call following this
interaction with twain the team is expanding its use of cutting-edge technologies in their research
incorporating underwater microphones and ai driven chat tools to analyze and interpret the
intricate patterns of whale sounds these innovations help identify possible language-like structures
within the whist vocalizations allowing the team to detect the complexity of communication among
humpback whales the whale seddie team is exploring not only vocal calls but also non-audio communication
methods of humpback whales namely the bubble rings they create their upcoming fiennes promise
to enhance our understanding of whale communication additionally the interaction with twain marks
a boost in understanding other animal species challenging our perceptions of intelligence
in the animal kingdom by improving the communication methods with whales we aim to gain more profound
insights into their lives and with a touch of ambition for deciphering messages from intelligent
life that may inhabit other parts of the universe i'm just laughing to myself because this is so
animal forward when in the video of david wilk he referred to chipmunks of the burgers of the
forest it was beautiful anyhow he is away with work he really does he's fucking tried lips on his
the it must come from his identification as a tranma anyhow that's the end of that the other
thing i wanted to update quickly on was our beloved orcas taking billionaires out one yaw
at a time i'm just going to read the headlines of these ones first article orcas aren't attacking
boats they're just playful teens scientists say that's the washington post chelsea sorry

in the orcas not actually attacking billionaires the odds yeah they're just playful teens okay
thank you for that insight the next one is from euro news why has portugal banned tourist boats
approaching orcas that of european ramming continues like the title of that one and then orcas accused
