Nick Cook is a British aviation journalist turned consciousness researcher. We discuss his take on the Age of Disclosure documentary, why the UFO conversation has become impossible to have like adults, and how simulation theory might be the most grounding framework for understanding reality (no but really).

Highlights:

Nick’s storied career, from winning four Royal Aeronautical Society Journalism Awards to investigating Nazi anti-gravity research (Hunt for Zero Point) to consciousness studies (Bigelow essay contest winner)

His “Age of Disclosure Challenge”: trying and failing to have actual conversations with skeptics about the documentary’s evidence

We’ve lost the ability to hold adult conversations about polarizing topics

Back to the co-creative nature of the phenomenon

Nick’s simulation theory framework: consciousness is non-local, not generated by individual brains but expressed through them

We’re all nodes of a larger consciousness system, constantly feeding data back

Simulation theory might sound meaningless, but it actually doubles down

Truly understanding consciousness totally recontextualizes human hierarchies

The great secret of disclosure isn’t about NHI technology, it’s about how governments have weaponized this for 80 years with Cold War mentality

Nick’s approach is the least horrifying version Mal has ever heard

Someone please come up with a better name for “simulation theory”

And in the epilogue:

Nick shares his perspective on human agency, or “free will”

Why our souls might have dreaded coming to Earth School

What the Belgium drone mystery proves what intelligence agencies know (or don’t)
