Summary

In this episode, we're diving into the history of Tiny Forests and the man behind them, Akira Miyawaki.

0:00.0	So, as I was saying before we started recording, I have this theory about aliens.
0:19.7	There we go.
0:20.3	The government knows aliens exist. And not only this theory about aliens. There we go. The government knows aliens
0:21.2	exist and not only this, they know that aliens are peaceful. And if they wanted to destroy us,
0:26.7	they would have already done it already. Like if all of the stuff we know about like Area 51
0:31.8	is even like remotely true that like they have any evidence and it seems pretty obvious at this
0:37.4	point they've had evidence and they've just not released it
0:40.3	Listen if if aliens have been here for 50 years and not done anything with the technology they have
0:46.0	Why would they be like you know what? Let's let humans get stronger and more capable of defending themselves against us

1:24.7	We would never trust it.
1:26.5	Even if they're like, you know you're killing the
1:28.2	planet. We know you're killing the planet. Look at this technology we have. Let us help you.
1:34.4	We would still say no, right? Like, absolutely, we would not take that. I have a rebuttal. And this is what
