Let's get back to laughing at Spirit "Science", shall we? This time, Jordan expects us to believe that technology is bad because if we solve practical problems, we become "spiritually weak" and "come further from God" -- whatever any of that means. And we "know" this because Drunvalo Melchizedek (yes, the guy who also told us about the extraterrestrial origin of a certain ethnic group) was told all about this by angels who took him to see aliens from Sirius.

Marty, I have an idea! Ask ChatGPT to translate your reasonable thoughts into “spirit science” language. Maybe Jordan will understand you.
You know your channel is so old (at least by internet standards) that you could almost view it as it snapshot of RUclips history your early content was part of the old RUclips skeptic community and now you're sponsored (something that was nowhere near as common back then as it was now)
Jordan spewing uneducated nonsense? WHAT YEAR IS THIS?
*goes and loads up WDPLASS 1 and sees it's TEN YEARS OLD*

Jordan must have taken some really good drugs to induce that trip. Good work for him remembering his hallucinations.
I remember back in the days of "Transcendental Meditation" they published a small "news" booklet. One of the things that made an appearance from time to time was the levitation claim. Then they started including photos of followers "levitating".
A few issues later they admitted that these photo were of advanced meditators bouncing on the bed. But this was claimed to be merely an early stage as they worked up to being able to levitate through meditation. I was already sceptical of TM by then, but the whole levitation scam ended my interest it.
"If any civilisation makes more and more technology, if that's the choice they make they separate themselves out further and further from the source of life." THEY SAID ON THEIR SPACESHIP!
Tbh that's the most believable part. Politicians are born hipocrites after all, and emissaries are politicians. So I wouldn't be surprised if any alien we got to meet was a complete and utter tosser.
A natural occuring spaceship, they grow on trees on their home planet.
With a spaceship design that was clearly not stolen from "rendezvous with Rama" by Arthur C Clarke
@@DeHerg Maybe Clarke had been abducted by the same aliens! ;-)
Technically it was a Shapeship.
“It’s powered by wishful thinking and clapping. It’s called the Tinkerbell-drive.”
"They can appear in lectures in several different cities at once due to their spiritual strength"
Yeah, that's a zoom call dude
Now I'm suddenly reminded of those pastors that try to do 'demon exorcism' through zoom. Crazy what you can do with technology these days. XD
Having every part of your alien space ship respond to thought sounds like a really bad idea. Those aliens were _one_ intrusive thought away from being dumped out into the void.
I remember seeing the movie about how the Krell learned that lesson the hard way...
Nah man, when you have enough spiritual strength levels you gain total control of your mind. I'd know, a jewish-egyptian alien-person told me so during an acid tri- I mean during meditation!
Thus the planet killer from Star Trek was born
Holy crap! Just when I thought Jordan had sunk to the bottom of the stupid pool, he finds a way to sink below the concrete. I’m impressed.
Jordan can't sink to the bottom of the Stupid pool, because he's in his own Stupid pool, one that have no bottom. But, that don't stop him from attempting to reach the bottom.
Let the idiot dig deeper it could provide viable studies into hotheads and how to harness the biothermal energies for free energy XD
@@Kualinar Fractal Stupidity
He brought a pickaxe, and a shovel.
Remember when we used to think Space Jews was as dumb as it could possibly get? Oh, how naive we all were...
"So, the whale probe from Star Trek IV?"
I was thinking Doomsday Machine.
Definitely the Doomsday Machine. I did my own research.
My money is on O'Neill cylinder from "rendezvous with Rama"
It was one or the other. I went with the whale probe. :)
I was thinking of the Dune ships, but it’s all fiction anyway 😅
I was thinking vibrator, as the whole idea is fucked from the get go.
go into matlab, make a weird doodle using shapes, give it to jordan, call it the "blorgistic charonism of gronfar," and watch it be integrated seamlessly into the lore of atlantean transdimensional space-jew tessaract politics.
The space Jew callback 😂
lol
The shape of cosmic vitality points is defined by combining periodic transcendental functions at their first and second harmonic frequencies:
x = sin(t) - 0.5*sin(2t)
y = 0.7*cos(t) - 0.7*cos(2t)
"...the angels disappeared into a higher dimension of his own body of consciousness."
Careful there Jordan, absent the word salad, you just said he imagined them.
I agree with you but when toss in terms like word salad i can tell your vulnerable to propaganda XD
@@Zbezt I don't know,many things he said are straight up word salad. I stumbled over one of his video and had to think about what the hell his words meant in that order for a good while before coming to the conclusion that they don't mean shit or I'm just dumb. Word salad is just another way to phrase the sentence: "These words in this order don't mean anything", and that's straight up what's going on with Jordan's speeches a lot of the time
@@Raidon484 indeed eventually it becomes that way for everything in perception since many of the speeches involve the imaginary boundary between what ifs and which is by definition that alone proves anyone can do it if they have even a sliver of actual information regarding historical pretext its a long winded explaination of do what you perceive to be right
@@Zbezt I think that's some A tier word salad!
@@Raidon484 exactly but it defines precisely as its read without wiggle room for some idiot to misinterpret as a divine perception pretty fucken mundane huh
It's astounding the things he says in passing. "These people went to another galaxy," as if it's the same as going to the store. Then he just moves on to talking about space heaters. Nearly every sentence he utters is something that, if true, would require a textbook of data, and yet he has nothing. It's bonkers. And he just keeps going like a freight train because that's what culty people do when their beliefs are culty and bonkers.
Who do we want? XENU!
Man, when I got abducted by aliens it was very different with lots and lots of probes - I still walk funny.
Oh jeez, the probes! The corkscrew one was the worst.
Did they give you an anal probe?
Of course Jordan thinks we only have the 5 senses we learn about in kindergarten..
A lot of people smarter-or at least saner-than him still do. It's apparently a thing people cling to really hard, for whatever reason.
Isn't the 6th sense umami?
Umami is the 5th taste, which is all one sense. Examples of senses beyond the 5 we teach to kids are temperature, balance, and body position.
@@MicroBlogganism /swoosh
@@cliveadams7629 That be like saying /swoosh after saying Uranus is a gas giant. Like the word is umami and it has a meaning apparently. Still was funny to me as I didn't know umami tastes so good.
The disappointment of finding a channel named "spirit science" and it has nothing to do with booze
Only mushrooms and LSD!
This Jordan guy that made spirit science turned me from an atheist into a believer. There has to be some higher power at work preventing him from having a whole, functional Braincell.
god is real and it's laughing maniacally
So my smartphone is reducing my connection to Emma Watson? Got it.
I work in a public facing government department. Its been a rough day full of regularly average angry and stupid individuals. (Oh some were nice and/or intelligent dont get me wrong here)
Thank you, Marty, for showing me they can always be more stupid and insane. 😂😂😂
I still remember seeing this guy's videos years ago and I was like "if you can get past the fact that they are trying to say this shit is real and some of the racist stuff, this feels like a fun fictional fantasy setting" lol. Seems like he never stopped being crazy since then
I came up with a whole series of action films like _Indiana Jones_ and _The Mummy_ based on this sort of spiritual stuff with ancient aliens thrown in.
The 3rd film has the heroes putting the Sword in the Stone into Stonehenge, which causes an ancient spaceship to rise from under the ground, allowing the heroes to travel to the Face on Mars to stop the Russians from accessing the ancient doomsday weapon that destroyed Martian and Atlantean civilization.
Time to get my oven mittens and watch jordan say stupid stuff
Hardcore fans can name each episode of Star Trek the ideas in the story came from.
Scanning the comments proves that to be the case. :)
Can't wait for the Telos IV cameo
A new WDPLaSS episode? What a pleasant surprise. Thanks for the amazing content as always. Glad to see you’re still ready to tackle some more stupid.
😂 I thought Jordan had dropped off the flatearth like Nathan Thompson!
You silly! If the Earth was flat, then cats would have pushed everything off it by now.
@@AlbertaGeek Thus the earth is clearly Cardboard-box-shaped, hence why we still have cats around.
because even they can not resist their instinct of: If it fits, I sits.
Nathan Thompson's apprentice Austin Witless keeps his memory alive.
I love these takedowns of spirit science.
@@dogwalker666Witsit... the master chef of word salad.
This stuff reminds me of the old saying "He's as nervous as a Christian Scientist with appendicitis".
Looking it up out of curiosity, the (supposed) longest recorded meditation lasted 38 hours. With the confirmed record at 24 hours. There is no doubt in my mind that the people who set these records were mentally and physically prepared by years of practice and keen bodily awareness to endure physiological inactivity for such impressive stretches of time. Yeah, nobody can meditate for 3 days. Unless our favorite crackpot was on an IV Drip is just isn't humanly possible.
It's like the longest filibuster (at least in America). The speaker spent days preparing to speak nonstop for a whole 24 hours without leaving the podium.
"guess what, it was stupid"
Yes I guessed that
If Spiritual Science really wanted to go back to nature to "reconnect with God", he'd go join a chimp or bonobo troop. Even human hunter-gatherers make technology.
Even chimps put sticks in ant hills to get ants out. It's not much, but it's something. (Also, beavers build dams.)
@@AsgharH238 chimps also chew leafs until those become sponges which can be used to get water from holes in trees and similar places which are hard to reach and drink.
@@valivali8104 Chimps also make spears.
@@AsgharH238 tool use is actually fairly common among animals, the idea that it isn't is something of a leftover from old race science ideas. And like it makes a lot of sense, it doesn't really take much to figure out that you can use a stick to reach further than you otherwise can so of course a ton of animals have figured it out.
How is that blue muppet still relevant?
Keep up the good work Martymer. 👍
It pisses me off that his production values are much better now.
So not just the Doomsday Machine, but also Tin Man from the Next Generation?
Several people have mentioned the Doomsday Machine (which was the first thing that came to my mind), but you're the first I've come across to make the Tin Man connection. That's where my thoughts went regarding the interior of the ship as well. :)
Technology bad says the person using technology to create and spread that message.
Lmao fr, Jordan is legit the dumbest person on the face of the earth.
He’s legit dumber than the guy who tried to become invisible by putting lemon juice on his face. 💀💀💀
Surprise, surprise, the woo peddler is still pedaling, woo.
Pedalling, as in bicycle? I'd assume Jordan is peddling, as in a merchant offering wares. Pro cyclist Jordan sounds terrifying.
He managed to find a way to say "phone bad" but with more woo
@5:00 - 5:16: It isn't just that it's magic, it's that it is entirely incoherent. If magic actually did exist, and we could detect it, our understanding of its existence would be described as being the result of mechanistic interactions between itself and the mechanisms we already understand to define the nature of The Universe as we understood it before the discovery of The Magic. The idea that mechanisms are acted upon in a mechanistic fashion by non-mechanisms is a contradiction in terms.
Queen's manger called: "It's a kind of Magic"
Rendezvous with Rama Is apparently a series of Historically Accurate Books
4:40 I do not know why, but in my mind the ghost of CHL appeared. Any technology advanced enough is indistinguishable from bollocks.
Jesus Christ, next Jordan is going to enlighten us on the properties of lemon juice and how it’s used in invisible ink, and how you can focus your spirit energy into becoming invisible using the power of lemons! 💀💀💀
Jordan talks a lot about the 'natural state of man' etc but I'm fairly certain he would not be able to survive in a world without technology to protect him. When the tiger rustles the grass, he'd probably just think it was his prahna-kinetic life force projection moving the grass or something, and then he'd get eaten.
The only people who have ever treated "nature" as a nice, friendly thing are the humans lucky enough to have been separated from it by the work of countless others.
@@PlatinumAltariaas someone who's been separated from nature in such a way please don't lump me in with these morons.
Also the natural state of man is tool use, we're a species almost entirely adapted for tool use to an insane degree. Like the stone age literally predates humanity as a species, having started 3 million yeara ago with the Oldowan culture. Human nature is technology, we're naturally adapted to using technology and shaping our lives around it, like just look at how flexible human cultures have always been, in the last 200 years our way of life has completely changed like every 50 years or so.
If Jordan's so convinced that "technology makes us weaker", he should prove it by getting his message out by non-technological means.
The very moment when Martymer says _Jordan said something_ we know 2 things are certain:
1. Whatever Jordan is talking about, is stupid.
2. We will have fun, seeing Martymer bring that new age mambo jambo down, with logic.
Space Jews, now I am happy.
Even years later the stupid still hurts just as much. Never forget your safety facepalm-gloves!
This is Jordan's version of the "hard times make strong men" speech.
Thanks for your uploads Martmyer! Been a huge fan for the better part of a decade and absolutely enjoy you channel. Thanks for fighting the good fight and continuing to wage war against stupid!!
We.ve got snow banks 6+ ft tall at the moment and it's still snowing. He could come here and try the whole warm yourself spiritually thing.
2:30 Its the doomsday machine from star trek TOS! :D
Agreed.
Very funny. One thing though, you can go without water and food for more than three days, but you'd probably feel lightheaded and weak.
I am speaking from experience. Also, I wouldn't recommend it.
Imagine meditating for years and your superpower is to make smells. It's incredible how gullible people really can be.
I bet if you meditated for years you'd start to smell funny.
"Why do people laugh at Spirit Science? - Part 37"
Nice.
Well if Jordan and I were to find ourselves in a remote part of thr Canadian Yukon on a deep freezing 60 below zero night, I'll use primitive technology and build myself a nice big fire and a shelter.out of wood, sticks, twigs, etc. to try.and keep myself from freezing. Jordan, on the other hand can stay warm and keep from freezing by tapping into the spiritual energy membrane of shapes and see.who stands the better chance of survival. Jordan can follow Yogi-Nana. I'll.follow Yogi-Bear. 😂
"It isn't technology indistinguishable from magic, it is magic" - but that's the whole point! If we hadn't gone down the wrong road of technology, separating ourselves from the source of life, we would have had magic instead, which is better. Of course, since magic is so much easier than science and engineering, how we managed to make such a mistake if magic is real and it works... is hard for me to figure out.
"Magic" _is_ technology, so it's as difficult as science and technology really are, it just _seems_ easy because we enjoy the end products making our _lives_ easier; the real conspiracy is the one Martymer pointed out of the "magicians" keeping us away from the "magic" of progress to hoard the power over the people to themselves.
Spiritual strength can function as a sort of psychological/mental fortitude. As someone who nearly died from cancer a few years ago, my sense of connection with nature that I developed in my teens (yes largely through weed and mushies/other psychedelics (and a close knit friend group and trips to the forest), just became something at my core that after a few years i never really focused on or projected as part of my identity, although it 100% served me creatively as inspiration - and was always just there - provided strength in the face of colder or crueler aspects of my experiential existence), the way it allows for a certain level of detachment and objectivity in the face of threats to your own personal existence/life *is* an objective function of it.
For sure there are many more fanciful aspects of it i was drawn to and toyed with believing in but my sense of critical thinking and parallel belief in science as a way things can be concretely explained really became more prominent as i got older, and through discussions with more scientifically minded friends.
So while going full on in to believing in magical thinking as the whole basis of reality is clearly a bad idea, a sense of spirituality and connection can very much serve a function , especially in todays paradoxically more connected but also lonelier world; and provide strength at times of great stress.
I have no real fear of death, because i dont really believe anything bad can happen after, everything just ends for me, or i return to the source, its the same effect either way because i dont believe in consciousness after death, and my time here in this life has been mostly lived how i wanted to live it.
Anyway i just wanted to voice a bit of a counter to the sort of sneery 'it has no objective function' opinion voiced in this video and by others in the comments, because while walling yourself off from any sense of spirituality might feel like the only reasonable position, (and easier than trying to square the contradiction of a cold, vast and ultimately meaningless universe and life, with also having a meaningful and reassuring connection with an energy that we all share as one), you can lose something inherent in the ability of our minds to attach meaning or feel connection to something greater than ourselves, and the benefits that can bring.
Lumping this in with organised religion (which ultimately has been a sort of hijacking of spirituality by power seeking groups throughout history) by saying ' every religion just doesnt like progress therefore all spirituality is a threat to progress and should be sneered at' is pretty reductive and basically engaging in the exact same 'us and them' mentality organised religions love to do to shore up support.
Sometimes there are merits to things science cannot directly verify as 'real', or directly quantify the value of (yet).
Spirit science is obviously about as pseudo science as you can get though, and easy to draw amusement from, but i do think there may well be a kernel of truth that it is all built around, somewhere deep within its clearly made up and fanciful bullshit.
Jordan: If you use an object, you give your power to it.
Jordan, a minute before that: OmG guys! They have, like, this crazy machines, that are like, cool and all, and like, they can do any stuff you want, like, you could make them play basketball for you!
There is a quote that I've seen used in response to claims that «natural is healthy» : «Nature is not all good, nature is not healthy, nature is out to kill you».
Definition of Jordan, the dung filled Blue Rag Doll : Master Word Salad Tosser.
Naturalness is a heuristic, not a fallacy. And it's a very good heuristic too.
My favorite example is how hemlock is very similar in appearance to parsley.
Except one is potentially deadly and the other is delicious.
@@Acetyl53 if applied carefully and in the right time, maybe it's a good heuristic.
But I've seen far more examples of bad applications than good ones.
entropy is a mfer!
Woah, I can't believe a new episode of this dropped. This is my favorite of your series
Jordan has been pitching a fantastic setting for a TTRPG
I'm addicted to my mobile device, someone please help me. LMFAO
I'm really glad I found your channel 10 years ago. I used to be big into what Jordan was saying, and was getting more and more into the spiritualism as a whole.
"it was long, cigar-shaped, and had the letters 'ufo' printed on the side...."
KEvron
The irony in his statement about technology while uploading on RUclips has me.
I love how almost everything Jordan says is unfalsifiable, that instills extremely high confidence in me.
I would love to meditate to the point I would hover and travel instead of needing a car. I would also want a million dollars and a house. Yet, it's work and technology, not meditation or magic. Thanks for always fighting against this clown.
glad to see you are still at it. don't ever stop!!!
the blue bubble of idiocy could've play Tool's 46 & 2. After a few seconds of research I found that that song is about this idiocy. I think he was watching the episode "Tin Man" since his "ship" looked so much like it that it could be a case of plagiarism.
I see, Jordon discovered ai image generation to use for his nonsense
Luckily he hasn't started using something like that GPT yet. But if the scripts in his scripts suddenly sound more coherent, we will at least know why.
@@_shadow_1 he has before produced stuff that is less coherrent than ChatGPT.
The part about becoming dependent on technology has me imagining Jordan running around screaming at people in wheelchairs.
Can't believe that this is still a thing.
Jordan's animation got a little bit more sophisticated, tho. That's a little surprising.
01:35 in and Jordan's already said enough to make me check out of his word vomit xD
Just use an AI chat generator for that. It could probably generate something more interesting and coherent without the side effect of adding to that guy's engagement.
Haa. I remember watching this few years back, thinking "whoa, this is crazy [cool/good]" but nowadays I realize
"whoa, this is crazy [mental/bad]
Honestly at this point, i don't need scientific reasoning, just basic skepticism. Like for just 1 second go "i don't know, this sounds far fetched and kinda silly".
YEEEEEEESS My favourite long lived yourube series is finally f***ing BAAAAACK
You've veen doing these for approaching 11 years now. And althouvh inonly diacovered your channel about 4 years ago, this playlist is one i keep coming back to
Yeah, was about to dip into my knowledge of stellar astronomy in explaining why the Sirius stellar system could never support life, but you got it down as usual, Marty. Thanks! Also considering the system itself is only 230 million years old and will end up destroyed by Sirius A possibly going supernova in a billion years, there wouldn't be time for an alien civilization to develop (at least in the way we developed).
"Get that through your head, Jordan." It did. It went right through
Many years ago, a young John McEnroe was getting ready to go to a fancy dress party with his friend.
He heard a knock at the door, answered it, and it was his friend, who was wearingan identical costume to hiself. It was a dog outfit, with bright circular disc on the stomach with 6 radiating spokes.
"Hi" said his friend, "I see you're going as the Dog Star as well"
"Nope. You can't be the Dog Star, because I am going as that!" Young McEnroe said.
"Well, I'm already dressed for it" his friend replied
At which point, John's parents came running, as they heard the loud stamp of a foot, and John shouting loudly.. "YOU CAN NOT BE SIRIUS"
Sorry, but I formed that joke many many years ago when first seeing him at Wimbledon, and been dying for a suitable venue to express it.
Hey be fair, as a story it is more beliveable than anything Jordan comes up with!
I was really star struck by that.
The problem is, Sirius is a binary system, so they could both go as the dog star.
Yes, I am fun at parties.
Brilliant segue to the sponsor. Got to respect that.
What's that little patch on his head supposed to be? Is that where all his brains leaked out?
So basically, they simply want to switch being addicted to technology, to being addicted to "God".
Yep, I have noticed that when people start losing their fan base from the New Age nonsense they start to pull from the religious crowd for more attention. That is exactly what Jordan did!!!
Little bit of headdesk there Marty?
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!
"If the outside is so good, why has humanity spent 10,000 years perfecting inside?"
You forgot one option, Drunvalo is a high, insane, author trying to sell to a gullible group. And he’s succeeded so far.
1. Ooo, pretty scarf, Jordan. You have to hand it to the kid that he CAN animate very well.
2. I was down in Mayan territory just recently, and we saw an ancient temple...of of which the Catholic church RIGHT NEXT TO IT had taken stones to build the church--stay classy, Catholics--but one of our two guides was all New Age about the Mayan calendar and the Age of Aquarius. The OTHER of our two guides was enormous, gorgeous, very friendly, and taught us how to say "thank you" in Mayan. Jumbotik ("joom-BO-tick"). So who did I like better, Marty? Not that the New Age lady wasn't nice, but mom had had enough of her by a bit and I told her, basically all just as an aside, "New Age isn't real religion. They TAKE from real religions, woo them up, and make bank." She was just doing her job, though, on the other hand. They did this super amazing ritual dance thing that the Maya had used as a welcoming ceremony, which is what it was, and the guy, at least, could speak the language and did have Mayan blood in him. He did not LOOK Spanish, he looked...almost Polynesian? Rather dark, rather short, freaking RIPPED, but in a fattish sort of way, too. Think Maui from Moana without all the tattoos, but darker-skinned, too. The pre-Columbian Polynesians, by the way, had been such amazing sailors that they managed to sail from Oceania all the way to Peru, sand a lot of South American Indigenous have Polynesian blood in them, so it's possible that it worked its way up to Mexico through trade routes. ANYWAY...should watch the actual vid, LOL. But it was a good vacation.
3. I thought Sirius is a constellation of its own, too? Orion's dog, right?
4. You...CAN...kind of...heat your own body from within. I DON'T KNOW if this is a placebo, okay, but I learned about this breathing technique when I was still doing my Eastern Philosophy degree called Agniyama, or Breath of Fire. Jon didn't teach it to us--I can't remember how I found out about it--but breathing techniques are important in some forms of meditation. ANYWAY, though, you breathe in one quick, sharp, VERY shallow breath, and breathe out just as quick, sharp, and shallow, in equal amounts, to keep your oxygen levels balanced. You do this quickly, and then more quickly. It's not like hyperventilating because you're in control of it, but I've done it while standing out in the snow in the middle of Canadian winter--you know we're known for our cold winters, right?--and I did feel myself getting warmer. Again, though, it could have been a placebo. I never actually did ask Jon about that. I wonder if he's heard of it? See, he taught ACTUAL Hinduism, Buddhism, so forth, not the New Age bastardizations. That's the difference.
5. Mmm...AMONG the reasons why I don't self-identify as an Atheist 9yet) is because I don't think religion necessarily comes out of suffering. I had a pretty good childhood, minus the medical dramas--plural--and I was Catholic, eh? I would never go back to it now, and you couldn't even drag me back kicking and screaming, but it's the wrong religion for me because of, you know, the genocides? Again, plural. But I think there CAN be "right religions", just depending on how people work with them. I don't know what I am other than to say that "all good things are God", NOT the other way around, so I guess it's like "nature plus good equals God"? This also depends on what you mean by "spiritual strength". To me, that's just integrity, but in that case, I CALL IT integrity. Courage. Love. Honour. Humour. All that good shit. Substitute for "strength of character", I suppose.
6. Nature is...odd. I just read a memoir called "Permanent Astonishment", by Tomson Highway, a Cree author from WAAAAAAAAAAAY up north Manitoba, right on the tripoint between Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and the Northwest Territories. They (they're Two Spirit--which is the Indigenous version of LGBTQIA+) were born LITERALLY on an ice-flow, and they lost a lot of siblings that way. Exquisitely Catholic part of the country (this was back in the 1950s, I do believe0, and they said, "If you, like me, are born on ice, and you get cold, and you get pneumonia, you die. That's just what happens." So they lost, like, HALF of their siblings to pneumonia and other illnesses at an early age, but they also talk about how nature feeds, protects, warms, nourishes, and educates the people of his culture, and the other Nations surrounding them up there. The northern Cree were/are semi-nomadic because they follow the animals' paths, so their father would be gone for six months out of the year to go hunt, trap, and fish, and could come home once a week with a giant-ass caribou (moose), and a net full of fish, and Tomson and their younger brother Rene would go out often enough to help with the fishing. But you have to know what you're doin, and what the animals are doing, and their father would never go to the sake lake for fishing more than once every seven years, so as to give the fish time to repopulate. Nature is a dance and a balance. Read it if you can find it, eh? You might enjoy. Poor Rene. Guy died of AIDS at 35. I can only imagine that ripped Tomson's heart out, because you can tell from minute one to minute done that Tomson would do anything for the guy, and they even say Rene was the most beautiful man to ever live. And hey weren't kidding. I looked up a pic, and YEAH. HOLY SHIT. Good mix of blood up there, because a lot of the Cree and Metis have mixed-race origins, especially in that part of the country. Sidenote, it's on Audible, if you've got an account? You were saying you'd like more audiobooks for hen you're driving, eh? Any progress on the Orwell?
7. Jordan's "theories" about astral projection have even failed my own tests, eh. I've tried this before, an it's just called "LUCID DREAMING" in the real world, duh, but I lucid dreamed once that I was out-of-body and at my piano-vocal teacher's place. I've never been to his place, o it just looked like the house I grew up in till I was about twelve. Nope, that is not where he lives. I asked him during our lesson that week, "What were you doing at, like, six this morning?", because, in my dream, I "saw" him cutting up vegetables, but he told me, "Ugh, tryin to get back to sleep," and I'm like...yeah, sounds about right. It really was one of those dreams where you feel like you're moving your body of your own fruition, but again, that's how lucid dreaming works. I used to know how to induce it, but I can't anymore.
8. the QUACK is a "lifetron"? 🤣
9. Hmm...you know from what I've told you about my de-conversion that he's not TOTALLY wrong about intellectual understanding versus emotional readiness. I was mentally out of the Catholic church as soon as Jon started educating me about better systems that make more sense, but I wasn't emotionally out until the Kamloops residential "school" genocide came to light in our news. And at that point, I was like, 'Yeah, I've got more morality than the church. Are we done here? Yeah, we're done here." But I think that kind of thing has to come from within, not from without. It isn't dependent on the Yuga or World Age or century or WHATEVER the quack we're in. It was up to me. So yes, external events influenced my decision, but it was my decision. We don't all suddenly wake up one day as a collective species and go, "No, you know what? Money will never make me happy! Let's focus on people and nature and health!" Wish we could, buuuuuuuuuuuuut...that's me being a naive idealist. And I AM a naive idealist, but I won't shove it down the world's throat.
Tl;dr bro :(
@@fiki8475, sis, but I know. I'm wordy.
Was thinking about you the other day! So happy i found this video and changed the bell to notify me. Excited to watch what i missed
I was thinking of the doomsday weapon from star trek from his visual lol
Agreed, The Doomsday machine from T.O.S.
I still love the fact that OneyNG knew SpiritScience before he was SpiritScience
"The point of technology is to identify a need or something to fix and make something to fix it" - I would like to raise you Truck Nuts. Seriously though, it's great seeing you still fight the good fight :D
Also I like the way MGSV puts the whole "nature" thing whenever anyone brings up the "we should live in nature" argument: "Do not forget that I am a scientist, after all, and using science for the benefit of others is a joy. In seeking coexistence with Nature's blessings, not everything can remain in its natural form. When we fall ill, we must be treated. Otherwise that very nature could cost us our lives. Agriculture is one of nature's many blessings, but through that process, we damage the surrounding vegetation. Alternatively, we could say that if a man is part of nature, the work he does is also part of it. What is important is the balance."
My favorite series ever!
And I suppose Kal-El’s home planet of Krypton with its crystalline based technology will serve as a cautionary tale of the proper use of healing crystals. Or is that assuming too much?
Hey, just wanted to say thanks for providing free, educational content over the years. I've been a long time lurker over multiple accounts, and I know your show-stealing video are WDPLaSS, but your stuff is seriously amazing. James Randi Would be proud of folks like you calling out pseudo-scientific horseshit were he alive to see it, and it's a thankless job that often goes unappreciated. Your channel is one of my go-tos while I'm at work and have my headphones in. Keep up the great work!
Seeing this appear in my feed brightened my whole day hehehe
It has been, and remains, an absolute "miracle" to me, that anyone comes away from a Spirit Science Video thinking "this guy understands the world, he has got the goods. I accept the things he says."
It is simultaneously hilarious and depressing.
He genuinely looks someone like Graham Hancock look good by comparison.
Wholly Molly! Spirit Science is giving Deepak Chopra a run for his money on the word salad tossing!
Me: "Jordan, break it down, explain it to me like I'm 5 years old?"
Jordan: "It's magic"
Me: ".... Ok, I can accept that was partly my fault, explain it to me like an science focused adult then?"
Jordan: *word salad, salad, blah blah it's magic*
hey now, even Ralph Wiggum wouldn't be so dumb to believe spirit science
Jordan would watch 'Sassy the sasquatch' and think that cartoon drug trip would be a documentary.
You can also see hints of Blavatsky in a lot of new age woo woo.
What was it Blavatsky was saying about our Cosmic brethren the Space Jews again?
I love how Jordan is trying to legitimize his new religion by adding the scarf/stole to his avatar.
6:18 I tried heating up a room with my own inner essence once. After taco night. The rest of room's inhabitants were not impressed.
Did you light a match?
@@autobotstarscream765 Nah. According to Jordan if I used a tool, I'd be separating myself from God! Or something.
More of these pleaaaaaaase🎉
HE'S BACK
The return of the champion!
Jordan is BACK!! YAY!
Man, the progolue to Dune is pretty wild
