Part 11/13:
The story includes memories of meeting influential figures—directly or indirectly—such as film director Kirk Thatcher, whom the narrator stayed with in Los Angeles, and filmmaker Steven Seagal, whom they encountered during a trip to the U.S. These stories serve to illustrate the wide-ranging social circles involved in the exploration of fringe science, entertainment, and military research.
Throughout all this, the narrator emphasizes a sense of curiosity and wonder about the universe, often expressing admiration for Yuri Geller, the famous psychic known for spoon-bending, and Andrew Paharich’s unconventional inventions. Though they claim not to be scientists or inventors themselves, their passion for discovery and the mysterious persists.
