Alex Tsakiris: [00:00:15] That’s of course, South Park and I have to say, you know, when South Park is on, they are really, really on still still to this day. And I don’t know why I thought it was fitting for this kind of strange but interesting discussion with author and radio host, Alan Warren, who I have almost nothing in common with. But in the end, I guess we do find some common ground. We are like the opposite extreme of every question I asked him, you know, are you a biological robot in a meaningless universe? He says yes. You know, conspiracies? No, you know, extended consciousness, No.

Alan Warren: [00:01:00] Well, first of all, both the traditional Church of Satan and the Church of Satan have given me an honorary doctorate. So, if you want to talk about satanic worship, and what’s real and what isn’t, it’s all man made. Hopefully, we all want the same thing in the end, right? We all just want to be happy, live a good life and enjoy our freedom ,I hope that’s what we want. And with that, yeah, there’s gonna be bumps along the way. But I don’t see why we need to bring down other people and hurt other people.

Alex Tsakiris: [00:01:36 ] By the way Alan is from Canada. Welcome to Skeptiko, where we explore controversial science and spirituality, with leading researchers, thinkers, and their critics. I’m your host Alex Tsakiris and today we welcome Alan Warren to Skeptiko. Al is a best selling author. So many, many books, amazing, I mean, Above Suspicion, Blood Thirst and Pirate Killer of Canada, I could just go on and on that many, many books, bestsellers. He’s also the host and producer of very popular NBC news talk radio, True Crime history, conspiracy show House of Mystery. So he’s really very interesting guy and we were just chatting a minute ago about this interview, because it’s one of these that kind of took a twist as the more I got into Al’s stuff because at first glance, I was like, wow, this guy is into a lot of the same stuff I am and then he was nice enough to do this little survey questionnaire thing that I’ve been doing and lo and behold, we are like, we’re like the opposite extreme of every question I asked him, you know. Are you a biological robot in a meaningless universe? He says, Yes. You know, conspiracies? No, you know, extended consciousness, No. So one of the things I thought would be cool, I know it’s a long intro but I want to set people up for this. You know, at this time at this particular time, when people can’t even dialogue, can’t even sit in the same room and say, you know, what do you believe? That’s okay, here’s what I believe. It might be interesting to explore two things, one, hopefully demonstrate that we can do that a little bit. But also maybe explore how you do that without giving up your sense of self, enough to say, Yeah, but here’s where I think the facts lie. So that very long, lengthy introduction, it is really a great pleasure to welcome you to the show Al, thank you so much for joining me.

Alan Warren:[00:04:11] Oh, it’s my pleasure. I look forward to it.

Alex Tsakiris: [00:04:17] Well, we’ll see what you say in an hour.

Alan Warren:[00:04:21] No, it’ll be fine.
