Using this #FactoidFriday to share the weird history of the Mind of Magnus over the past 2 decades. What brought us all to this current spot, and some "Voices" from the past.

Thanks to Eric for the Saccadic Suppression fact from the Hotline, and so many other cool facts shared into the show, like the truly perfect Christmas gift given to Harper Lee, to the fact that Sheb Wooly has a diverse resume.

This hour long episode is thanks to Bradley and his text to the Hotline number asking: Why is the universe so quiet, and where are the aliens.

I drop as many theories as I can on why the Universe seems to be quiet, and why we haven't heard or detected any other Alien civilizations out there.

I reference Episode 174 of the Quite Unusual Podcast discussing the Silurian Hypothesis, and the Possibility of advanced civilizations existing on earth million of years before humans.
