If anyone deserves fame and fortune for your work and attitude in this community, it's Kurt 👏 what a brilliant man
I want to believe Dr. Greer, but his entire affect is off-putting (to me, anyway). I have worked in the largest federal biomedical research organization in the US for >30 years, & in this time have worked with Nobel Laureates, bench scientists, clinicians, you name it. Dr. Greer's prickly attitude when being pressed for facts and his name dropping are tiresome. A large part of scientific discussion centers around citing sources and providing tangible proof. He gets so irritated when asked for specifics; I can't quite put my finger on it. It's similar to having a discussion with an over-sensitive adolescent. Curt did a great job of working around Dr. Greer's ego...
Mr Greer says that 'Alien abduction' is human (US) instigated. If that was so then why wouldn't the US goto Russia and 'Abduct' Mr Putin for World peace? #nuke #Ukraine #UAP #CE5
Absolutely fantastic interview and guest. Really love the intellect of the host too, so refreshing to hear 👏
Hello Curt, you have some great guests. You do need to work on your research so that you stop jumping all over the place with your questions. You will develop some more empathy with experience so that you then have great conversations with your guests rather sounding like Rain Man asking questions.
