In the first half, researcher Jack R. Bialik discussed his book "Lost in Time: Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge," which explores how much of humanity's collective wisdom has been lost over millennia. He reported that only 1.6% of history has been recorded, leaving vast gaps in what we know. Citing the construction of the Egyptian pyramids as a prime example of lost knowledge, Bialik pointed to the logistical challenge of putting down all those stones without modern tools like wheels or pulleys. He also described ancient medical practices, such as cataract surgery performed as early as 2400 BC by Egyptians and Babylonians, which was later forgotten and reinvented centuries later.
Delving into even more mysterious lost knowledge, he referenced the Harappan civilization near India and Pakistan, where evidence suggests an ancient atomic explosion occurred 5,300 years ago. "They have found sand that has been...made into glass from the heat, 1500 degree heat... and radioactive cinders there." Bialik also mentioned the enigmatic "Voynich Manuscript," housed at Yale and carbon-dated to the 1400s, which features an undeciphered but authentic language. Scholars have not been able to understand it because "there isn't the continuity of that information," he explained.
He spoke about the frequent loss of historical knowledge due to disasters like fires, invasions, and natural events, citing the burning of the Library of Alexandria as a prime example. Bialik expressed concern about current information storage methods, warning that despite technological advances, "we're putting more information into denser and denser form, where it can get lost or destroyed very easily." He stressed the importance of rethinking how knowledge is preserved for future generations.

In the latter half, author and futurist Rebecca Hardcastle Wright, PhD, spoke about her extensive work in ufology, consciousness, and what she terms "exoconsciousness" —the innate human ability to connect and co-create with extraterrestrial, multidimensional, and spiritual beings. Exoconsciousness is not about being special but about recognizing a universal human capacity, she said, adding that the Institute for Exoconsciousness (I-EXO), which she co-directs, serves as a "post-disclosure" organization preparing society for a future beyond government revelations about extraterrestrials. The Institute engages in coaching, healing modalities, and citizen science initiatives, including a grounding in plasma science.
Central to her platform is the Planetary Constitution, a document co-created by Wright and colleagues during the politically charged 2020 U.S. election. This constitution outlines the rights and responsibilities of exoconscious humans in space governance, advocating for peace and harmony in interstellar affairs, and the inclusion of psychic and multidimensional perspectives in tandem with scientific and military considerations.
She also talked about her work alongside the late Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the Apollo 14 astronaut, focusing on zero point energy, consciousness, and the extraterrestrial presence through his organization Quantrek. She emphasized her role as an experiencer rather than a scientist, stating, "Dr. Mitchell had a great respect for experiencers, and I was pulled into the team because I was an experiencer." Wright also highlighted her collaboration with Carol Rosin on efforts to establish a treaty preventing weapons in space, describing Rosin as "one of the first female executives in aerospace industries" and a key figure in international diplomacy.
In the last half-hour, George featured a replay of his interview with preparedness expert Mat Stein from 8/3/15 on the dangers of solar flares and other threats.
