[this is my transcription taken from the infamous video, which may-or-may-not be a hoax]

I: We recording? State planet of origin.

A: Earth

I: Yesterday you told us you traveled . . . and I quote . . . “thousands of light years to get here.”

A: Yes

I: Tell us the truth or else . . .

A: It is truth. I am from Earth; from your future. To travel in time is to travel in space: offset spatial divergence.

I: So I take it aliens took over our future?

A: No

I: So you’re human?

A: . . . an evolutionary descendant.

I: So you evolved from us?

A: Yes

I: So what are you doing here, now?

A: Observing . . . since evidence was destroyed.

I: How?

A: Nuclear war; small numbers survived, our ancestors.

I: How about we concentrate on your time.

A: You are not capable of comprehending or accepting the discoveries of my time.

I: Try me.

A: The origin if the Universe, the nature of so called “life,” it is known.

I: So you know the meaning of life?

A: Not meaning, nature; meaning is something that is ascribed. Nature is the objective reality.

I: So you know how the Universe is created?

A: Yes

I: So you’ve seen God?

A: We evolved past a need for superstition; the need for a God and other myths.

I: Illuminate us; what happens when we die?

A: Death is a human construct. It does not exist. You will experience, and have experienced, every instance of so-called “life.” You, Me, Him: we are instances of the same life, separated by what you call, “death.”

I: So let me get this straight. There’s no death and we all experience each other’s lives?

A: In essence, yes.

I: So how was the Universe created, and why is it so perfectly made for us?

A: There are an infinite number of universes, each with different physical properties. Virtually all do not support life such as you know it. We exist in a universe that does support so called “life.” That is all.

I: Moving on: so why do we destroy ourselves with nuclear war?

A: Dogma . . .

I: Can you be more specific?

A: Political and religious dogma: it is the root of all major conflict of your species. In your next century [this century]: access to weaponry of mass destruction — by states that are ruled by dogma — will destroy your species.

I: One last thing: what about morality? What do you base your morality on?

A: . . . compassion and evidence.

I: I see. That’s it. Thank you.

I: You say you’re from the future; and evolutionary descendants of humans. Yet you also say you’re a different species. So which one is it? Are you a descendant of humans or not?

A: We are evolutionary descendants of Sapiens. But we can no longer breed with your kind. Therefore we are a new species.

I: Then how do you speak English? Answer me. If you don’t answer, I’ll administer another round of Scopolamine. Do you understand? How do you speak English?

A: Learning your language is essential to understanding your species.

I: So you just picked-up English because you’re so smart?

A: Relatively, yes . . .

I: You said you know the origin of the Universe, but you did not provide an explanation. So I ask you again: how was the Universe created?

A: You are not capable of comprehending or accepting the truths of existence.

I: Answer the question.

A: The Universe was not created.

I: But you can’t create something out of nothing.

A: That is correct.

I: So there it is. Only a creator can make something from nothing.

A: That is incorrect.

I: You just contradicted yourself.

A: Nothing, by definition, does not exist.

I: So?

A: Since nothing cannot exist, what is left is existence. Existence is infinite. It has no end, no beginning, and therefore no creator.

I: But you said there’s an origin to the Universe.

A: Yes

I: There it is. I caught you in a lie.

A: This Universe is not existence. It is an infinitely small part of existence.

I: So now you’re talking nonsense. Again: how was the Universe created so miraculously?

A: This Universe is a spontaneous event, and inevitable within the eternity of existence. Every event can, will, and has happened; including this Universe. There are an infinite number of universes. Virtually all cannot harbor so-called “life.” This universe is, by chance, stable; and has the occasional capacity to harbor so-called “life.”

I: So life “just happened,” right?

A: In this universe, yes. Life, as you call it, is an inevitable consequence of this universe’s physical properties.

I: So are you telling me we’re just random?

A: Yes, this universe is indifferent to so-called “life.”

I: How so?

A: Life on this and every world can be destroyed at any time by a multitude of random events.

I: Such as?

A: What you would term, “supernova, solar-flare, asteroid impact.”

I: So the Universe doesn’t care if we live or die?

A: Correct

I: I don’t believe that for a second. We’re more than just random.

A: As I said: you are not capable of accepting the truths of existence.

I: So if we’re just random, then there’s no meaning to the Universe.

A: That is correct.

I: So if there’s no meaning in the Universe, then what’s the point of living?

A: There is meaning.

I: You just contradicted yourself again.

A: Meaning lives in the mind.

I: No, no, no; you can’t live a full life. You can’t live a life at all if you think that meaning is somehow made up.

A: Your species conjures meaning but operates under the false belief that meaning is a mystical plan. It is not.

I: So what is meaning?

A: Meaning is what you make it.

I: Moving on: you say we humans will die as a species. So tell me, when does the nuclear war start?

A: It is not my place to change history.

I: So now tell me when does the nuclear war start?

A: Just over one half-century from this point in time.

I: By whom?

A: Nuclear war will begin in this country.

I: Really? Us? How?

A: A human male will briefly rule your country and will be responsible for the destruction of most of your species.

I: Interesting. So is he alive now?

A: Yes

I: So just tell me his name and we’ll kill him.

A: I cannot. The name was removed from our historical record. We cannot allow altering history through murder.

I: Just tell me what he does.

A: He will weaken your democratic mechanism by appealing to your species’ most primitive instincts: fear, tribalism, political and religious dogma. There will be international condemnation. In response he will launch a preemptive nuclear strike. This will proliferate into global nuclear war.

I: So then we blow up.

A: The initial exchange only ends a few million human lives.

I: “Only” a million lives . . .

A: It is the resulting radiation that will end most of your kind. My species is the evolutionary result.

I: So how do we stop this?

A: Protect your democracy from political and religious dogma. Protect it from rejection of objective fact. At this point in time, your democracy is stable. This will not be the case in a half century.

I: So if we stop this lunatic from blowing things up we’ll be fine?

A: No

I: But you said if we stop him we won’t be destroyed.

A: There is another threat.
