Is there anything out there that a truth serum that people tell the truth no matter what,
00:00:09.860
That's what MKUltra was originally designed to do.
00:00:12.640
MKUltra's original objective was to create a truth serum, an undeniable, empirically
00:00:22.500
The reason it got into psychedelics was because it believed that psychedelics could be a path
00:00:27.540
And then it just kind of went off the reservation from there.
00:00:45.820
if it exists today it's new in the last 10 years
00:00:57.960
there was no danger in my town, no crime, you know, you're Iranian, okay?
1.00
00:01:04.800
Now, my parents made me feel guilty if I did anything wrong, right?
1.00
00:01:10.840
So all the lie detectors we have are based now on how an American thinks and feels and acts.
00:01:17.980
So it's not even usually good to use against a foreigner
00:01:21.000
because a foreigner isn't feeling those guilty things
00:01:23.080
or not getting nervous the same way we do about lying
00:01:26.200
because they didn't grow up with their parents like,
00:01:36.260
I honestly don't think it really works well in foreigners.
1.00
00:01:56.680
And then you have different categories of lies, right?
00:02:01.220
until you think about how many shades of lies there are.
00:02:17.240
small lies that don't really mean anything to you.
00:02:25.280
So let's just, because, you know, right now, nowadays, one day we don't have Chad GBT.
00:02:31.900
Write me a book as if I'm, you know, Dante or as if I'm this.
00:02:39.860
Give me a hip hop song in the voice of Tupac, but words that the President Trump would use gives it to you, right?
00:02:46.680
So what do you think would happen if all of a sudden announcement is made, new technology out, 100% detects if a person's lying or not, 100% proven?
00:03:21.980
We all survive in large part based on a survival instinct that tells us that our secrets are safe.
00:03:32.420
We can at least not share them and keep them safe.
00:03:34.840
And that is something, that's like caveman in your cave in the dark, no one's going to eat me kind of security.
00:03:40.980
It's the only security we really still believe we have.
00:03:43.360
So if a device like that came out, that would 100% guarantee if you were lying, that means nothing's safe.
00:03:54.100
Do you think it would make the world a better place or worse?
00:03:56.980
I think a lot of people would fight that technology in a violent way.
00:04:10.420
Come on, people with kids, your kid will go up and tell a lady, you're fat, right?

Everyone's had kids who've said the things they shouldn't say.

I have one of them that's like that every week.
00:04:24.340
