Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Regarding what Joe is saying at 2:24:00 (about digital information potentially at risk for disappearing forever)...
He should have Vint Cerf on the show (one of the "inventors of the Internet" and the Chief Internet Evangelist at Google). He's been doing a lecture tour about archiving the Internet and digital information for future accessibility. I saw one of his lectures this summer, and I guarantee he would make a very very interesting guest..
Naturally, Carlson dropped the phrase "massive, catastrophic, sudden meltdown" within the first paragraph of dialogue
Niiiice
Since these two always seem to split the audience whenever they're on, I'll offer a neutral opinion for those who read these comments before committing to 3 hours of listening:
I'm not a subscriber to Carlson's or Hancock's theories. That said, I think both bring some pretty wholesome brain food to the table. For anyone willing to consider other possibilities of human/planetary history, it's probably worth a bit of a listen. Be aware, however, that supporting evidence for their theories is thin at best.
Evidence in Hancock's support is especially thin. The idea of civilization being established earlier than we have previously thought is definitely being entertained given recent discoveries. I mean, GΓΆbekli Tepe is pretty wild. But, his idea of some advanced, grandeur society with worldwide influence is pretty far the fuck out.
Carlson's theories are interesting, and somewhat acknowledged tangentially (e.g evidence of massive flooding the Pacific NW). But not anywhere close to enough to credit him as fact. He does a good job of painting a pretty incredible "what if we got hit by a comet" scenario. Also, he's not a climate denier. He acknowledges human impact on climate. He simply believes we may not be the only cause and that we might not even be the primary one. Not saying I agree or disagree, just summarizing his statement.
Overall, I'd listen to it just for an outside perspective. If you think it's horseshit, I can't blame you. If you're into it, buy their books and shit.

Joe looks like a hobbit next to Randall

Holey.. Shit.. This was one of my favorites in a while.
Summary of Hancocks appearance: Randall saying something interesting. Hancock: can i just jump in there, blablabla... the mainstream does not believe us.
I guess I don't really understand the "modern scientists are too specialized" argument that was used in defense several times. Natural scientists depend on collaboration... pretty much all the time,in every field. Peer review also prepares the presentation of new work. Who is a better expert at analyzing one's data? The collaborative team conducting the studies & subsequent several levels of editors?? Or a journalist? Not saying that certain points aren't thought provoking, but I really can't attribute the culmination of a lot of work to something as simple as "belief" among these networks.
