, which is there was one time in my past I thought, you know, maybe there's some UFOs, maybe there's some aliens that are visiting. But more recently I had ruled that out in favor of the hypothesis that if anything is happening at all, in other words if these sightings are at all real, that the source of them would be our own past. So it might be ancient aliens who live beneath the ocean. It might be some kind of ripple across time from a time when there were aliens with an advanced civilization on Earth.

But so Joe, and I'm not so sure about Brett, but so Joe has gone from these might be space aliens to the odds of, because Rogan always has these experts on ancient civilizations. To me it now seems obvious, I would say 100 percent obvious, that there were advanced civilizations that we don't know much about. And that it can't be a coincidence that we've got these giant megalithic structures, not in one place but basically in a variety of places around the world, and we don't know how to make them. Well, maybe we could with modern equipment, but the fact that none of those cultures retain the ability to make those structures, it kind of suggests they found them, doesn't it?

So I'm now of the working hypothesis that I think matches Joe Rogan's. I'm not positive, but I do believe that these are shadows from the past. And I think somebody smarter said, maybe it was Joe, that the reason that these sightings seem to defy physics is that they're not part of our reality. That they might be some kind of a ripple or a bleed through or a temporal distortion. I don't know. I have no idea what I'm talking about. But that they're literally not part of our reality. It's just something we can temporarily see. And the reason is there was something from the past.

Now here's where it gets interesting. Palmer Luckey, who's the head of Anduril, was asked about aliens, and I believe he had a very similar take. So if your take ever matches Palmer Luckey, you're lucky because he's one of the smartest people in the world.

So remember Elon Musk has said if there were space aliens, he would probably know about it, but he doesn't know about it. And now another genius, Palmer Luckey, is also fairly sure that we could rule out space aliens, but it might be something from the past, some advanced civilization. And it could be that there wasn't just one. It could be that there were dozens of advanced civilizations that didn't make it, which is a little bit scary if you happen to be an advanced civilization. So I don't know about dozens, but I'll bet you if there's one, I'll bet you there's multiple. What do you think?

And that maybe it's just buried so deep in the sediment that we'll never know. But I'm pretty sure there were some advanced civilizations. And then I'd never heard this before, but this is also on Rogan's show. Did you know that in Peru they found these little creatures with three fingers and three toes that look like they really were aliens, but probably not aliens from space. Again, more likely some advanced civilization that was here. I'm not sure I believe in the aliens yet or just the creatures. I'm not sure I believe the creatures are real, but it's fascinating.

So here's where I'm going to tie this into something now. So you know Elon is building an Encyclopedia Galactica, which at the moment is named Grokipedia, but he said he'll change the name to Encyclopedia Galactica, I think. And his plan is to create a repository of everything we know and to not only have that available to everyone on Earth for free, I guess, but he would put some copies in space. So there would be a library in space forever. Maybe a library on the moon forever. Maybe one that just floats around the Earth in orbit or wherever he can put it.

So his plan would be if humans got wiped out that some future civilization which might be the remaining remnants of humans, they would somehow be able to recover the lost knowledge. Now that's a heck of a good idea but it raises this possibility. What if the earlier civilizations did the same thing? What if they found a way to protect everything they knew, but they didn't find a way to protect themselves? Because it would be easier to launch something into space than it would be to put a shield around the whole Earth, assuming some comet was heading this way or something.

So is it possible that we will someday discover not just that there used to be an advanced civilization, but that they saved all of their knowledge and we could unlock it? What do you think? I think that's entirely possible because if Elon thought the idea of preserving knowledge, what are the odds that an entire prior civilization didn't have anybody who had that idea, right? And if it's doable, it's not yet been done, but we're pretty close. If it's doable, what are the odds it was doable before?

Think about it. See, now that's a good Christmas conversation, isn't it? Even Palmer Luckey backed me up. I do not know.

All right. Speaking of Musk and AI, he says that the AI that he runs, this is his prediction, will have more AI compute than everyone else combined in less than five years. Do you believe that? That the Elon Musk AI called xAI will have more compute than all the other sources combined in five years. Wow.

And then I said, so we're also right at the verge of the self-driving cars being completely self-driving. What would it take? I asked this morning, what would it take to turn your self-driving car into a classroom? So suppose you had to commute an hour each way, but you didn't have to do the driving. Could you have a 45-minute class, assuming there's nobody else in the vehicle, that just teaches you some kind of skill and every day you get in it and it says, "Oh hi Scott, would you like to continue your physics lesson?"

Now I saw somebody push back on that and say, "Scott, people are not going to want to learn from machines. You need a human being to teach people otherwise they're not going to be
