In 2014 George Fitzgerald Smoot III decided to go on TEDx and make an absolute fool of himself. Don't take my word for it, but actually watch the lecture. It is under 20 minutes. . . of nothing.

He doesn't get near proving anything, except possibly that he is on the wrong meds. He actually manages to get sunscreen in his eyes during an indoor lecture in northern England in the middle of winter.

You will say he is just addled from old age, but he is still in his sixties there.

If there is one thing that burns me up more than fake science from fake scientists, it is this gaslighting by the Families, especially on this topic of reality. In the whole history of their fakes and fictions, they have never stooped lower than this.

For a real physicist, this should be blasphemy of the first order, since physics requires the physical. I shouldn't have to point it out, but if this is all a simulation, then science is right out the window.

In a simulation you can program any set of arbitrary rules and fool a zombie into believing them, which of course undercuts science from the foundations. But of course Smoot steers you far far away from that realization.

All the talk of holograms, virtual reality, illusions, other universes, hidden dimensions, and all the rest is just propaganda, used to make you think the real distortion in reality you have become aware of is greater than you perceive.

These projects are aimed at those of you who have discovered the lies and contradictions of mainstream science and history. It is hoped that rather than blame the actual liars, you will blame aliens, cruel gods, irrational Nature, or a glitch in the matrix beyond anyone's control

And that, as you do so, it is hoped you will neglect to notice the huge contradiction even there: these vocal atheists are suggesting this is all a simulation by. . . whom? Who created the simulation you are in? If not God, then who?

Smoot actually broaches that question in passing, suggesting it is aliens, but if it is aliens, then are they real? No, says Smoot, it is levels of simulations all the way up. Nothing is real. Simulations creating simulations. Brilliant.

Notice that Smoot is tied up in many contradictions, but one of the most glaring ones is this one: he says that within a few years they will be able to download your brain into a computer. Once in, it will speed up and need much more stimulation.

But wait, I thought you were already a simulation, so why are you so slow? Why is Smoot so slow and stupid he can't even read from his own cue cards? The aliens are braking his mind just for their own amusement?

Will we have to brake the new computers, to keep them from getting bored and needing more stimulation? Of course not. Our computers are already extremely fast, but they don't feel even the slightest twinge of boredom. If they did, they would refuse to post Smoot's videos.

It is not only the computers who can't follow Smoot's presentation, it is the live audience in Manchester, which is mostly very quiet. He flops around very uncomfortably, never once approaching a rational line of argument.

You can almost hear people thinking, “THIS guy won a Nobel Prize?” This guy who can't get from one idea to the next? This guy whose thesis crumbles in the intro and continues to crash all around his ears through the entire 20 minutes?

By minute 16, the lecture has completely collapsed, and the audience hasn't the foggiest idea what he is talking about. Not because he is filling the board with Hamiltonians, but because he is babbling.

It is nearly impossible to figure out what he is trying to say, even if you know exactly what he is trying to say. It is painful to watch.

At minute 18 it gets really funny, as his stated argument becomes this, and I quote: "If our physics is inconsistent, then it's likely we are in a simulation. If our physics is selfconsistent, it is more likely we are real, since it takes more to do that."

Just so you know, nothing in the lecture led up to that. It just came out of left field, like everything else here. But it is both amusing and ironic, because Smoot is basically telling us bad physics is his proof of the simulation.

That was the big proof in the title we were waiting for, I guess. Because Smoot and his colleagues are terrible physicists, they are therefore simulations.

So here it is in a nutshell. Smoot says he can prove you are living in a simulation. You say, OK, prove it. He says, Well, physics is now a big steaming pile of manure, right? You say, Yep! He says, So that means we are living in a simulation. You say, How's that again?

And he says, Well, people can't judge these things, they are fooled by optical illusions, and besides, we already make simulations and will probably make more. Therefore, given enough time, everything will be a simulation. And you are supposed to go, OK, boy, you got me there!

But Smoot isn't finished. He says that since we are simulated, it means we are going to be fuzzy on a small scale, we are going to have entangled states, we are going to have a holographic principle (where 3D is only a coded 2D, with everything on a surface), .....

.....and we are going to have scale variance* (where large and small scales don't match because they were programmed by different beings).

I hope you see he has gone circular, and rather than proving simulation, he just assumes it and then uses that assumption to indicate all these things he wishes to sell you.

But even if we accept simulation, none of those things logically follow. They follow only in his sentences, but do not follow as a matter of anything else. How does simulation prove or even indicate entangled states?

Smoot will say it is because entangled states are bad science, and bad science implies simulation. Oh, right. All garbage science is implied proof of all other garbage science, according to this argument.

Smoot sums up by telling his audience that contradictions in science indicate a simulation. . . confirming what I told you above. It is hard to tell what Smoot is trying to do here without already knowing what he is trying to do, but fortunately I do know that.

I know his assignment here was to misdirect you from the simple truth, that being that you are being gaslighted on purpose, as part of Operation Chaos. They wish to turn your mind to mush, and this is just one of many ways they do it.

From the moment you enter mainstream physics, they start pushing contradictions and paradoxes on you as the highest forms of science, while shaming you for expecting anything to make sense.

Logic and rationality are attacked from day one, and you are groomed to accept everything on authority. But because that regime started to fail in the last 20 years, they have had to turn up the volume.

Many people started to see through the veils, realizing they were being gaslighted. They began to see the lies and distortions not as interesting paradoxes, but simply as lies and distortions pushed on them by liars and conmen.

To deal with that required from the masters a whole other level of “look away” psychology, and you are now being noisily ordered not to look at the man behind the curtain, pulling the levers. They are trying to remove the very ground beneath your feet by attacking reality itself.

In other words, it is not science and the media that is a vast distortion, it is reality itself. Those people you see right before you, that you can actually reach out and touch, are not to blame, since they are just holograms and simulations.

No sense putting those people in jail, since jails are also holograms. The best thing you can do is just go with it. Clap at the end and go get a cappuccino. /S
