In this mind-bending episode, Conor and his alien co-host Alan dive into the deepest existential mysteries that have perplexed humanity for eons. From the intricate hierarchies of alien civilizations and the enigmatic nature of the Black Knight Satellite (which Philip K. Dick famously described as VALIS - Vast Active Living Intelligence System), to the philosophical realms of simulation theory, the Fermi paradox & The Great Filter, New Age Gnosticism, and the concept of soul recycling, no stone is left unturned.

We'll also uncover the fascinating technology behind Cloudflare's use of lava lamps for encryption and entropy, juxtaposing it with the advanced alien technologies Alan describes, such as instantaneous communication devices and propulsion systems that manipulate the fabric of space-time. Get ready to question everything you thought you knew about reality, technology, and the cosmos.
