cture in there.

So how many of you believe that's true? I want to see in the comments how many of you think that's true. I'm going to remind you of one of my more famous and effective BS filters. Now this is what I call the Scott Alexander filter. So it's not named after me. It's named after a guy named Scott Alexander, which also was not his real name by the way. It was a pseudonym. And he once wrote an article that just changed me forever. It just changed me forever. And here's the rule. If you ever read a story in the news, and it doesn't have to be about Egyptian pyramids, if you ever read a story in the news where your first reaction is, oh my God I can't believe that's true, it's not true. Let me say it again. This is a very reliable indicator. If your first impression is holy cow I can't believe that's true, it's almost always not true.

What was your first impression when you found out that under the pyramids that somebody had ground penetrating radar that could look two gigantic skyscrapers into the ground? Well if that technology really exists, holy cow I can't believe it. I guess we'll be spotting all those tunnels on the borders that the cartels have been using, right? I guess Israel will be really happy about this new technology because the Hamas will never be able to build a tunnel that they can't detect. I mean wow, they can look that deep under the ground. I don't think so.

So I'm going to go on record as saying that I think the Scott Alexander rule fits us really well. If I had to make a bet I'd say 50 to one it's not real. 50 to one. I don't think it's even close to real. And you know they've got pictures and images and no, not even close.

I also don't believe that the Egyptians, the ancient Egyptians, built the pyramids and then forgot how to do it. Do you believe that all over the planet in different continents at around the same time people had independently, without being able to travel, you know there wasn't that much travel, that they independently figured out how to move gigantic rocks in ways that even in the modern world we wouldn't be able to move? Do you believe that all over the world they learned it and then even better every one of those independent societies that had learned how to make pyramids with gigantic boulders, and the pyramids are all over the world, they're just different kinds, but they'll have gigantic rocks that we don't know how they moved. Do you think they all forgot? They all forgot. Like nobody wrote it down. Nobody made a hieroglyph to show it being done. It didn't get passed down. Or they just got tired of doing it. You know, so after hundreds of years or whatever it was of building pyramids they just said, you know, we're done with pyramids. Does that sound even a little bit likely?

I'm going to say that the evidence is strongly suggestive of some culture that came before that was teaching all of them how to move big rocks. So I'm sure that there was somebody who did have the ability to go
