Some of the things we discussed include:
Being raised catholic, becoming an atheist who believed in evolution and then becoming a Raelian for the last 46 years.
Inventing the correlation coefficient; publishing on YouTube.
Getting sick in 2019.
Extraterrestrials as the origin of human life on earth.
Being a Raelian representative of the West Coast; the pandemic’s impact on programming, eg. cancellation of Go Topless protests (https://gotopless.org/).
Losing a fellow Raelian and friend to COVID [edit from Letourneau “and motorcycle accident that preceded the illness and was a factor of his weak health state”]; alien cloning.
Traveling back to Canada to visit sick family; mother dying; different ideas about vaccination from family members.
The expenses associated with traveling unvaccinated.
Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, and Big Pharma.
Vaccine development and experimentation; vaccine mandates; informed consent.
Biological weapons.
Recent Pentagon statements on UFOs.
The Trucker Convery in Canada; martial law.
The politicization of science; representations of scientists in the media; government control over the media.
The villainization of Elon Musk, Russia, scientists.
Automated labor and the right-not-to-work.
Limiting democracy by forming tests that determine who is smart enough to run for office and who is smart enough to vote [Edit from Letourneau: “Definition of smart (important): Top level in being able to understand problems, even scientific ones + top level in being able to find solutions.”]; policies for reproduction [Edit from Letourneau: “Not completely similar- example of something similar: driver license: not all people can drive, they need training and pass a test / so to have children, a women would have to be trained and pass a test.”].
The swastika as a symbol of infinity [Edit from Letourneau: “rehabilitation of the swastika by explaining that it is a symbol of Eastern religions- Buddhism for example, and North America via the native people symbolism.”].
Calculated risk.
