While the ability to adapt to adverse situations is the cornerstone of survival and one of the greatest traits of the human species, it can also be used as a weapon against us when the ability to adapt leads to complacency and undue acceptance of an intolerable situation. On this show, Ed discusses some recent (and not so recent) discoveries in the field of quantum science that illustrate the true nature of "reality" (and our ability to affect it) and how the centers of control (most notably the Catholic Church) have been suppressing this knowledge throughout most of recorded history. He also uses the survival "success story" of the inhabitants of Easter Island to illustrate how adaptability can be a double-edged sword.
