Why Would Aliens Be Here? With Avi Loeb and Robin Hanson

What would UFO disclosure tell us? Why would Aliens be here? In this conversation between Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb and economist Robin Hanson, they dive deep into the mysteries of the Fermi Paradox, the theory of Grabby Aliens, and the intriguing possibility of UFOs as evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence.

Let us know what you think of this format with two guests.
Also, should we do live streams? Discord server? Tell us what you think.

I'm 74 years old, and every time I hear conversations like this, I realize how fortunate I and my two friends were at the age 15 to have seen aliens in a huge saucer shaped craft so close we could identify everything about it except where it came from and how they got here. I knew immediately, even at that age, that they used a form of travel totally unknown to the human species. So to hear this speculation on propulsion travel across linear distances seems misplaced. The best human explanation I've heard for intergalactic travel would be the alien ability to create gravity and, therefore, bend space and time around them, allowing them to move to points in the universe almost instantaneously. When we see them making extremely high-speed moves and changing directions at right angles at speeds that would make humans and objects implode upon themselves, they could only do this by moving space and time around them instead of moving their craft linearly through our space.

Please bring 2 guests on, even if they don’t have completely opposing views and allow them to talk, just like this more in the future. 10/10

I must have said this several times before, but your intro is a masterpiece. The format, the "you have fallen into Event Horizon", the music. Such a vibe.

[zackmesey]

Avi, "this is a battle I'm willing to die for". That's the type of man I want at the forefront of this topic

[rikkafe]

The difference I feel between Robin Hanson and Avi Loeb is that Robin is projecting human thought onto aliens motivations where Avi feels we can not really understand Alien motivations because we have no idea what they are, if in fact they exist or not. We should just explore and see what we find and that exploration should not be bogged down by any preconceptions.

For a child of the '70's it's increasingly hard to outdo oneself. This is one of your best episodes! Love the format and your guests almost as much as you!

[MsPichiPichi]

This is now hands down my most favorite video on YT and I'm a chronically online person who watches so many YT vids everyday. Thank you so much for bringing this to us, John! And thank you for the super interesting discussion, Profs. Loeb and Hanson!

JMG and Event Horizon is a gem of YouTube!

[realzachfluke]

That was AWESOME, I just finished it. Ugh, what a treat, thank you all so much.

[ohio]

That was awesome. Thank you so much for inviting us to be part of it.

[wcourson]

Oh, my gosh! I crave interviews like this! If they went on for 20 hours straight, I would get little sleep. Thank you, all three of you involved, for this pleasure.

[ootyyql]

John truly is a national treasure. Always wishing him the best.

[gerardlynch]

I enjoyed the free wheeling discussion between these two academicians. Definitely should do this genre once in a while.

[FesteringGhoul]

Robin- “the aliens are trying to persuade us not to expand.”

Avi- “So they are the academia.”

What an amazing glimpse into reality that is.

[episodenull]

Why would they be here? To turn into late-model GM cars and trucks.

[Roguescienceguy]

God damnit. I was really planning on sleeping

[DeepakKumar-tvdc]

Great episode John, keep up the good work! Really liked the back and forth between them.

[MrBAA]

Such a rare thing nowadays to hear sincere and thoughtful “opposing arguments”. There have been very few discussions that I’ve listened to where I found myself agreeing with points on both sides. Extremely refreshing. Well done JMG, I would love to see more of this format.
