Dead Internet Theory: Is the Internet Already Mostly Bots & AI?

David Grusch's latest appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience may be one of his most extraordinary interviews yet. Tonight on Investigate Earth, Chad and Sheri break down JRE #2560 and react to some of the wildest claims made by the former U.S. intelligence officer and UFO whistleblower. We're talking about alleged recovered nonhuman bodies, multiple alien species, reptilians, Grays, possible warfare between different nonhuman intelligences, and an enormous underwater base reportedly spanning multiple city blocks. But the conversation goes even deeper.Grusch and Rogan explore the Book of Enoch, the Watchers, ancient gods, Ezekiel's biblical visions, and whether humanity's earliest civilizations may have encountered intelligences they interpreted as divine. Could ancient religious accounts and modern UFO encounters be describing parts of the same phenomenon? How much does Grusch actually know, and what evidence has yet to be made public? Join us as we break down the interview, separate the claims from what's confirmed, and discuss what these revelations could mean if they're ever proven true. This is an independent Investigate Earth commentary and analysis of Joe Rogan Experience #2560, not the original interview.Our Merchandise

We also go much deeper into the story of the Great Flood itself, comparing Noah’s Flood with ancient accounts including Ziusudra, Atrahasis, Utnapishtim and the Epic of Gilgamesh, some of which predate the biblical account by centuries.Were these simply ancient stories passed from one civilization to another, or could they preserve the memory of a real catastrophic flood that changed human history?
