Pursuing a Married Man

If you see him in New York, try to fuck him. Um, okay, I have one more fun fact because I like when people leave this podcast with something they have learned. Yeah, you know, if you've learned about New York dating life, learn about Georgia. In 1973, there was a man that learned to exit his physical body and he met— he traveled mentally to Jupiter. His name's Ingo Swann. He was born in Colorado. He was a painter, not a scientist. He had one strange skill: he could exit his body at will. He called it remote viewing. Scientists— yeah, you've heard of this? Yes, of course. Yeah, scientists called it impossible until they tested him at Stanford Research Institute. The first experiments, researchers gave him random coordinates on Earth. He described mountains, buildings, underground bunkers, all from thousands of miles away in real time. Yes, yes. The big leap was what if we gave him coordinates in space? Target was Jupiter. It was 1973. NASA's Pioneer 10 had passed by, but most data was still unknown. Ingo's Jupiter session, he described rings around Jupiter, a thin atmosphere of hydrogen and helium, giant storms and lightning, mountains on its moons. Scientists rolled their eyes, especially at the rings. Then in 1979, Voyager 1 flew past Jupiter. Faint rings exactly where Ingo said, composition matching his description, and massive volcanic activity on Io, which he had predicted. Suddenly his fantasy was science. Pretty crazy. Then the CIA stepped in. NASA stayed silent. The CIA classified his Jupiter session and invited him into a secret Cold War program called Project Stargate, where they were— they were using remote viewing for espionage. This is fucking insanity. You get them, you find the subway that's open, find the subway in Rio for 20 years. For 20 years, this guy worked with, with intelligence officers. So it was working.
