Where Do Cows Even Come From?
Welcome to the deeper you go, the weirder it gets. I'm your host, Garett Renon. And this is episode one of a new series, a series about questioning the nature of our reality. In this series, I plan to go deep, diving into the kinds of subjects that make people uncomfortable and asking the kinds of questions that don't have easy answers. You know, the kinds of questions you used to ask as a kid before the world told you to stop asking, before the matrix took hold of you and stifled your curiosity.
Garett:Do you remember that? Do you remember when the world felt magical and mysterious and you just wanted to know how it all worked? Do you remember when you weren't afraid to ask, quote unquote, silly questions? Well, this series is a callback to those times. In fact, this entire series started with one simple, innocent, and dare I say silly question.
Garett:Where do cows even come from? And in this episode, we explore how that one question will lead us down a massive rabbit hole. A rabbit hole that will take us to Antarctica and make us question the very map of our world and will even carry us out into the cosmos itself. But before we get into it, I've got some announcements. First, if you are enjoying and want to support the show, please share it with a friend and make sure you subscribe and leave a review.
Garett:A few other ways to support the show are you could get you you could get you some podcast gear. You can sign up for my newsletter. You can get you some organic pine pollen or Legion tallow. And speaking of products, I want to share some exciting news. See, I've been working really hard behind the scenes on something that's all about helping you unplug from the noise.
Garett:I've been working on designing a tool to help you reflect, rewire, and realign with what really matters. It's called the unplugged journal. And just like this series questions the world outside of us, the journal helps you turn inward, to get clear, to be present, and to make space for what really matters. And it's coming very soon. And for those of you tuning in here, I'll have an early bird offer just for you.
Garett:So stay tuned. Alright. So let's get into the episode. Okay. So I wanna set the scene first.
Garett:So as some of you know, I do a little substitute teaching on the side. It's been an eye opening experience to say the least because I'm literally watching the system work in real time, seeing and experiencing how the system shapes behavior, belief, and perception. Right? It's the matrix in in in action. And while it has definitely been weird, not all is doom and gloom.
Garett:Every now and then, I get a glimpse of potential and possibility. Every now and then, I see a spark of wonder emerge from an otherwise dim environment. So the other day, I was in a first grade classroom. Now let me tell you, first grade might be my limit. It's like herding cats.
Garett:It's a nonstop barrage of questions and comments like, can I go to the bathroom? Can I get a drink of water? Can you open my water bottle? Can you tie my shoe? Susie said something mean to me.
Garett:It's relentless. But during all that chaos, something very interesting happened. I was asked a question that stopped me cold. See, I was handing out some worksheets, and I don't even remember what we were talking about, but I mentioned the word cow. And at that moment, this little boy looks up dead serious and asks, where do cows even come from?
Garett:Everyone laughed except for him. Instead of laughing, he was in a mode of pure contemplation and curiosity, and I could see the gears turning in his head. I could see him visualizing the cow. He was studying its behavior and looking at how weird a cow looks, especially compared to us humans or dogs or even birds. He was mesmerized by this strange large animal.
Garett:And as he was staring at the sky in a daydream haze, he asked again, no, really. Where do they come from? Like, how are they even made? And that's when it hit me because that's the ultimate question. Right?
Garett:I mean, not just about cows, but everything. Like, where do cows come from? Where do we come from? Where does any of this come from? How is any of this made?
Garett:And here's the crazy part. We think we know, but the truth is we have no idea how any of this works. All we have are theories. Right? The theory of evolution, the big bang theory, the theory of natural selection, the theory of relativity, germ theory, and the theory of gravity.
Garett:Yes. Even gravity is just a theory. And see, it's crazy because these theories are what we are taught about how our world works, but they aren't truths. They're just models, just narratives given to us by the system. I mean, sure, some of these theories make some sense, but they are not complete.
Garett:There are many holes in all these theories, which is why they are still scientific theories and not scientific facts. Yet for some reason, we've accepted these theories as truth. And because of that, we stopped questioning the narrative a long time ago. So why is that? It's almost as if our curiosity, our sense of wonder has been stifled, which reminds me of a scene from the Truman Show.
Garett:See, there's this moment where Truman, as a kid, is sitting in a classroom. The teacher asks him what he wants to be when he grows up, and Truman says, I want to be an explorer. But without skipping a beat, the teacher pulls down a map and says, you're too late. There's nothing left to explore. At that moment, Truman's dreams were essentially crushed.
Garett:And see, that scene is powerful because that's exactly what happens to us all. From the time we're young, we're handed a very specific narrative about the world, a story designed to shut down our curiosity and to stop us from asking questions. And the crazy part, that programming works extremely well. And the older we get, the stronger that programming becomes. In fact, the narrative gets so strong and so ingrained in us that not only do we stop asking questions, we start mocking the people who do.
Garett:So remember in the Truman Show, the controllers of Truman's world had to keep him inside the bubble. They needed him to believe there was nothing left to explore, that there was no need to ever leave his little town. No need to even look beyond the horizon. And the same thing is happening to us. See, we are told by the system, by our controllers, that the world looks a certain way.
Garett:We are shown a very specific map of our planet, but when it comes down to it, how do we know that the map we are shown is the actual representation of where we live? So remember, Truman was living in a fabricated reality, and the information given to him about the outside world was used to keep him under control. So how do we know the same thing is not happening to us? For example, how do we know that all the land that is shown to us on the world map is the actual amount of land that actually exists? Is it possible that there are areas in our world that are off limits and hidden from us common folk?
Garett:Now I know some of you think this is crazy talk, and maybe it is. Right? Maybe I've officially lost my mind. But the truth is you don't really know. See, I'm willing to bet that if you were to be open and honest with yourself, you would easily come to the conclusion that you know very little about this world in which you reside.
Garett:See, everything you think you know about this world has been told to you. Now I also know that some of you are thinking, but I travel the world. I've been to Europe, to Asia, to Africa, and because of this, you think this makes you an expert on world geography, or at the very least, believe that the world map we are shown is a % accurate all because you have a few stamps on your passport. Sure. You have been to many places, but how did you get there?
Garett:I can all but guarantee that you didn't build your own boat and set sail navigating by the stars and using a world map. No. You your travel was only possible using the system. You took very specific modes of transportation, which all followed very specific routes, all of which was outside of your control. In other words, you only saw what they wanted you to see.
Garett:You only took the routes they wanted you to take. So with that in mind, can you really be so sure that there aren't lands you're not allowed to visit? Can you really be so sure that they're not flying you around hidden places? And speaking of hidden places, if there is one place on Earth that is actually hidden, it would be Antarctica, the last frontier, the edge of the world, or so we're told. See, Antarctica is one of the most interesting places that we know about because everything about it is steeped in mystery and controversy.
Garett:See, one of the weirdest aspects being that in 1959, over 50 nations, including enemies at the time, came together to sign the Antarctic Treaty, which was an which was an agreement to ban military presence, prohibit colonization, and limit exploration. Now think about how crazy that is, especially when you realize that this treaty took place during the cold war, a time when The United States and Soviet Union were major enemies. And it gets even crazier when you realize that a world has basically been in a perpetual state of war since the beginning of recorded history, and most wars throughout history have been fought, and most wars throughout history have been about controlling land and resources. The very things Antarctica is said to hold in vast supply. Yet despite all this, for some reason, the most powerful nations all seem to agree to leave this piece of land alone.
Garett:Why? I mean, what are they hiding? I mean, they have to be hiding something. Right? It's the only thing that makes sense.
Garett:And the story of Antarctica gets even stranger once you learn about admiral Richard e Byrd, considered to be the most famous Antarctic Explorer. See, in 1954 during a televised interview, Byrd claimed, there is a land area as big as The United States beyond the South Pole which no one has ever seen.
Admiral Byrd:I must say that admiral Byrd, our guest tonight, is not only our greatest living explorer, but he's been an inspiration to countless Americans. Admiral Byrd, you've been to both the North Pole and the South Pole. Is there any unexplored land left on this earth that might appeal to adventurous young Americans? Yes, there is. And not up around the North Pole because it's getting crowded up there now because they find out it's really usable not only to live in but militarily.
Admiral Byrd:But strangely enough there's left in the world today an area as big as The United States that's never been seen by a human being. And that's beyond the pole on the other side of the South Pole from Middle America. And it's, I think it's quite astonishing that there should be an area as big as that unexplored. That's a tremendous So there's a lot of adventure left down at the bottom of the world. Well, not
Garett:So not ice, not water, but land. Right? And not just land, but land rich with resources. See, Bird spoke of vast coal deposits, oil, uranium, and other minerals untapped and untouched. A whole world right here on Earth.
Garett:And shortly after that interview, the Antarctic treaty was signed and the doors to exploration were slammed shut. So what was admiral Byrd talking about? What did he see? And why is Antarctica off limits to the general public? See, I don't know, but you have to admit, it's strange.
Garett:You have to admit that things don't exactly add up, especially once you realize that the people telling us these stories, the people giving us these narratives, and controlling access are the same people who have lied to us time and time again. Again, I don't know what's going on. I'm just asking questions. I'm just being curious. See, maybe Antarctica is where our world ends.
Garett:Maybe it's where the edges of the map meet the walls of the world. Right? Do you remember one of the final scenes in the Truman Show when he steals the boat and crashes into the wall? In that scene, Truman found the end of his world. And see, all I know is there is way more than meets the eye when it comes to Antarctica, which means there is way more than meets the eye when it comes to our planet.
Garett:And that means, and drum roll, please, the rabbit hole just got bigger. Because if Antarctica is a barrier or if there are lands we're not allowed to see, then you have to start to wonder what kind of world are we really living in. And when you start asking these types of questions, things start getting really weird really fast. And before and before you know it, you might find yourself looking into a topic that gets nothing but ridicule from the mainstream. See, I'm talking about flat earth.
Garett:So before you shut this off, I'm not here to convert you. I'm just here again to ask questions. In fact, in case you aren't curious, I am not a flat earther. I'm a things aren't adding up and the world seems to be much different than we are told earther. Because if you really go down this rabbit hole with an open mind, you quickly learn that flat earth isn't necessarily about the shape of the earth.
Garett:It's about the entire system. It's about what's hidden. It's about our location and purpose within the universe or cosmos. It's about truth. In fact, the term flat earth has been weaponized by the mainstream to discredit and discourage anyone from asking questions about the system in which earth resides.
Garett:Just like they did with the term conspiracy theorist during the Kennedy assassination. See, you know how the game is played. Right? You slap a label on someone and the conversation's immediately over. Right?
Garett:Oh, don't tell me you're one of them conspiracy theorists. What are you? A truther? Are you a vax denier? Are you a flat earther?
Garett:See, right, we've all heard these labels get slapped on someone, and when they do, the confirmation the conversation immediately gets shut down. But when it comes to flat earth, if you can see past the mainstream propaganda, you quickly realize that it's not about a pancake floating in space. It's about something much bigger. It's about the possibility of the earth being some sort of contained system or a realm with clear boundaries located inside a larger closed system. And when you start entertaining that possibility, everything changes.
Garett:Because if Earth is a closed system, then we're not just random specks of dust on a random spinning ball lost in a random galaxy. It means we are part of some kind of intelligent design. And if that's true, everything, and I mean everything, changes. Alright. So with that being said, I think this is a perfect place to wrap up this episode.
Garett:We've covered a lot in a short amount of time. And see, what started as a simple question, where do cows even come from, has taken us down a major rabbit hole, a rabbit hole that leads us to question our entire existence. But that's what that's what happens when you ask questions and actually listen to the answers with an open mind. You start to realize that the narrative we've been given, the story of our world is held together with duct tape, chewing gum, and a few toothpicks. Because the truth is, the deeper you look, the more things don't add up.
Garett:The more things don't make sense, and the more things just don't feel right. And we're just getting started. See, in the next couple of episodes, we're gonna go deeper and do this rabbit hole exploring Antarctica in greater detail, exploring NASA's control of the narrative, explore space, and explore grand cosmic cycles. So buckle up because it's about to get weird. See you on the other side.
