UFOs: The Co-Creation Hypothesis

In the first 60 years of looking at UFOs and many thousands of reports, we have not moved any closer to a provable theory of their origin. The answer (or part of it) may lie within the human mind. Science is increasingly acknowledging that consciousness plays an intimate role in shaping what we think of as reality, and our brains and nervous systems are the main instrument that experiences strange phenomena. Greg Bishop will examine theories of mind-matter interactions and how these may lead us to a better understanding of the source of UFO reports.

They then dive deep into the release of Emma from the WWE roster and how that represents a complete failure by WWE creative in making the best use out of a talented performer. They then move on to a discussion of who are currently the best storytellers inside a WWE ring, and then close out the episode with a back-and-forth about the storytelling concept of factions, and how the WWE is missing the boat by not using it to greater effect.

They discuss the concept of natural law, and our duty of care as human beings to the planet and to the creatures with which we share it, and talk about a couple of examples from the book of lawyers and others who have engaged in citizen activism and used the law to combat corporate wrongdoing and change government policy on the environment. Paul ends with a song he wrote way back in 1991 and recorded, but never released, with his band Julia’s Rain in 1995. Called “Shadows Grow”, it is sadly even more relevant today than ever. “Our pockets kill the fields” is still true, but thankfully folks like Silver Donald Cameron and the men and women he interviews in Warrior Lawyers are making a real and vital difference.

One of Canada’s most versatile and experienced professional authors, Silver Donald Cameron is currently host and executive producer of The Green Interview, an environmental website devoted to in-depth conversations with the activists who are leading the way to a green and sustainable future. His literary work includes plays, films, radio and TV scripts, an extensive body of corporate and governmental writing, hundreds of magazine articles, and 17 books, including two novels. He was Dean of the School of Community Studies at Cape Breton University and has taught at Dalhousie University, the University of British Columbia and the University of New Brunswick. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of London, and in 2012 received both the Order of Canada and the Order of Nova Scotia.

Along the way, Dillon talks about his upbringing in the Shelburne region, what inspired him to get into filmmaking in the first place, and where he wants to go from here. Paul and Dillon also get into an in-depth conversation about what it’s like working with actors, and how trust between actors and a director is fundamental to being a successful filmmaker. Finally, they manage to find time to chat about pro wrestling, telepathic space otters, and their experiences at the old Shelburne Sound Stage.

Dillon Garland is an award-winning filmmaker based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Originally from Barrington, Nova Scotia. Dillon graduated from the Centre for Arts and Technology in 2012 with a Diploma in Digital Filmmaking. He has since directed over thirty music videos, for artists including The Stanfields, The Town Heroes, Like A Motorcycle, Jon Mullane, and Gloryhound. He has won two East Coast Music Awards, two Hollywood Music in Media Awards, an IMEA Music Award, a Los Angeles Music Award, and a Music Nova Scotia Award. His short films include St. Rick, Last Day of Fall, and Ageless, which won the Best Short Film Award at the 2013 CAT Film Festival. He produced, wrote and directed the web series Leon, has worked on the television series Big Brother Canada, Amazing Race Canada, and The Bachelor Canada, and served as the Assistant Director on the feature films Roundabout and Exit Thread. In 2016 Dillon’s first feature film, Afraid to Speak, debuted at the Parrsboro Film Festival.
