I sat down with Mike Wilkerson, a former teenage hacker turned chiropractor and independent researcher, for a mind-bending conversation that explores alternative history, non-standard cosmologies, gigantism, and rapid petrification. We dive into the wild territory of his new research: giant ancient trees, petrified megafauna, and the possibility that many geological formations are actually biological in origin. Mike explains why he believes our geology, cosmology, and timelines have been deliberately skewed, and how “paradigm blindness” keeps even well-intentioned experts from seeing what’s in front of them.

Along the way, we explore the role of AI in narrative control (and potential liberation), the problem with peer review, and why compartmentalization allows falsehoods to persist for generations. If you’re ready for a conversation that questions everything from space travel to the origin of stone, and invites you to look at the mountains around you in a whole new way, this episode will challenge and expand your worldview. You can pre-order Mike's new book, The Hacker Prince, before its release on September 17.
