Dear Judith, your guests are always so knowledgeable. Many thanks for sharing.

Cremo's work goes hand-in-hand with the works of "new historian" Anatoly Fomenko.

21:30 This is part of what erodes, and finally implodes, one's suspension of disbelief in the world. Whenever we're talking about human thinking, behavior, cognition, especially in a group setting like this, on an intellectual level they're really indistinguishable from automatons. They're like programs. They're software. You fixed the timeline, now you have a default anchor reality, and they can't think beyond it. I write software, and I can see exactly how a more complex program would fall into that kind of cognitive sink. As programs these "types" are written to be set to a task in a particular frame, and then approximate a "Good enough" within those parameters. They're not made to actually find the truth, they're made for a specific, narrow, well defined task. Exactly like programs. How can I find it believeable that all of this happened (historyisn't just machine generated) or that they aren't just holograms that look human? How long can a person hear these stories and accept that explanation for the, frankly, pathetic course and nature of human intellectual endeavor. It really is every single time, over and over. Same damn thing.

Wow. Very Nice scoring this interview.

Thank you very much Judith for the challenging conversations. Something times I wonder if our interpretation of the Judeo-Christian texts is not it self done through materialists lenses. What if the eve/adam ‘symbology’ is about the de devolvement of the human being and the universe created to that porpoise and the apocalypse to its end.

Here's a suggestion for an interview, which I'd love to hear you do!
