Like back when I used to go out, when I was last out...
1:05:05
I was walking down the street and...
1:05:08
this guy came barrelling out of a bar...
1:05:10
fell right in front of me and he had a knife right in his back...
1:05:13
landed right on the ground.
1:05:15
And -
1:05:17
I have no reference to it now. I can't refer back to it.
1:05:20
I can't press rewind. I can't put it on pause.
1:05:23
I can't put it on slo-mo and see all the little details.
1:05:26
And the blood, it was all wrong. It didn't look like blood.
1:05:30
The hue was off and I couldn't adjust the hue.
1:05:32
I was seeing it for real, but it just wasn't right.
1:05:36
And I didn't even see the knife impact on the body. I missed that part.
1:05:41
- Too bad. - Yeah.
1:05:43
Well, I got something to show you. I just got this new tape...
1:05:47
through some contacts of mine.
1:05:52
It's by this grad student over in the history department.
1:05:54
Did you hear about him? He took his whole thesis committee hostage.
1:05:58
- No. - Yes, it's true. It's unbelievable.
1:06:01
He took them hostage. The SWAT team came in and offed him.
1:06:04
- No. - And it's just no one's heard about it.
1:06:06
It's not getting out.
1:06:08
Uh, anyway, he made this tape.
1:06:11
Like, just 15, 20 minutes before he went before the grad committee.
1:06:14
Because he knew they weren't gonna okay his research.
1:06:17
It was just way too radical, and way beyond anything they were doing.
1:06:21
- What was his thesis on? - You know, I don't know.
1:06:23
I'm really not sure. Something about a bronze age coming in the '90s or
1:06:27
something.
1:06:28
I'm just not sure what he was up to.
1:06:37
Each individual has this absurd notion of this predisposition -
1:06:41
Hey, looks likeJohn Hinckley.
1:06:44
He has this-this unending potential, this dormant potential...
1:06:50
this stupid idea that 95% of the brain is unused...
1:06:55
and that if we could tap into that we would just have...
1:06:57
we would have Superman or something absurd like that.
