"I study ancient texts that describe encounters with non-human intelligence, and what has struck me is not our ancestors' ability to marshall that information, but rather how psychologically unprepared we are as a modern society to process what ancient cultures took for granted."
"Every civilization that thought it was alone eventually discovered it wasn't and found ways to record that realization. This moment always reshaped power, belief and leadership. We may be standing at that same threshold again. The real challenge today isn't whether non-human intelligence is real, but whether humanity is ready for what that means. We don't have a cultural framework to absorb that information. With UAP hearings in the USA, global anxiety about AI and transhumanism, and with collapsing trust in institutions, we are entering psychological territory with which our ancestors were familiar, but without the stories that helped them to navigate it. "
"I go to ancestral story and ancient texts, seeing them as historical testimony and cultural psychology - not as proofs, but as evidence of how our ancestors responded to the unknown and how their experiences shaped their understanding of the cosmos. In the last decade I have translated analysed ancient narratives across cultures, spoken to millions online and dialogued with thousands. I have have worked with scientists, theologians, philosophers and historians. These conversations have shown me how belief systems form and how they break. And I have learned to appreciate how empowering the stories of our ancestors can be when used as a lens through which to understand reality."
"The hope of our ancestral storytellers was not simply that we would remember and understand their lives, but rather that we might enjoy a better understanding of the world, and a better human experience. I share that goal. My aim is to help modern audiences understand how humans have historically encountered non-human intelligence — and what that reveals about our psychology, power structures, and readiness for the future."
