The tone does shift later into it as I push back and try to get him to recognize just how much power and authority he has to make productive changes. But I'm not sure he was listening. :-)
I gave up on that interview as well.
I was curious about this interview, but could only get through half of it. I tried. I have to be honest, my first reaction was "ugghh, not him, he was rude to Jill Tarter and is that UFO guy. he's just trying to sell his book". Also, he didn't coin the phrase "space archaeology" - anthropologists have been doing this for decades (Anth major).
