"Past and Present"
TV-series season 3 episode 11, 10/15/1999
(from internet transcript)
ORNER
In the first days after the Vorlix there was panic and confusion. It's hard to be exactly precise.
O'NEILL
So you all just woke up one day and didn't know who you were. How does that work?
ORNER
My first memory after the Vorlix was of running in the streets, as though for my life.
(He nods to the woman)
She was running right there beside me. Whoever she is.
CARTER
Seems like some kind of mass amnesia, Sir.
O'NEILL
Huh?
CARTER
It happened to a friend of mine during the Gulf War. Her chopper went down and she was knocked out. When she came to, her memories and identity before the crash were gone.
O'NEILL
So everybody on this planet took a hit to the head?
CARTER
Well, no, Sir. I'm not sure what could cause something like amnesia on this scale.
TEAL'C
I have never before encountered such an occurrence.
ORNER
All of our elders are missing as well.
O'NEILL
You remember elders?
ORNER
Well, no, but there are photographs of them in every house.
WOMAN
The children are gone too.
ORNER
If we ever had children.
WOMAN
Well, we weren't grown on trees. We came from somewhere.
ORNER
Then why have we photographs of the elders and none of the children hmm? Answer me that. Daft.
(to SG-1)
But if you do have any information we could use, you must seek Ke'ra.
DANIEL
That's the second time you've mentioned that name.
WOMAN
You don't know who Ke'ra is?
ORNER
She is Minister of Health, Science and Restructuring in the Vyus Transitional Government.
O'NEILL
Busy gal.
WOMAN
We're all busy.

FADE IN
INT GATE ROOM, ALIEN PLANET
[The Stargate opens and SG-1 step out into a large, darkened warehouse that appears to have been abandoned.]
O'NEILL
Anybody get the feeling these folks don't do a lot of travelling.
[Carter pulls back a sheet to reveal the DHD.]
CARTER
It looks like it hasn't been used at all.
DANIEL
Well they might not even know what the Gate is. I mean ah, maybe it's some sort of artefact to them.
CARTER
It's possible. I mean, you could stand here for months pressing symbols and still not find a combination that opens a wormhole.
[Teal'c sees two shadowy figures approaching.]
TEAL'C
O'NEILL.
[SG-1 quickly takes cover as a man and a woman enters the warehouse.]
WOMAN
(whispering)
It was like an explosion, Orner. I heard it.
ORNER
There wasn't any explosion.
WOMAN
I'm telling you I heard something. It was a big
ORNER
A big what?
O'NEILL
Hello!
[He emerges out from cover, followed by the rest of SG-1.]
O'NEILL
(cont'd)
You heard us.

I think it was my first thought after waking up this morning that I used to date Julia Roberts a long time ago.
I also have these unexplained thoughts that I was a fighter pilot in the U.S. military, although I'm not sure which service, but I may have been in two different branches over time. I am also confused about thoughts that I may have been a helicopter pilot. What's next? A space shuttle pilot? Seems like a lot for someone that is only 40. And, while I am not sure when this divergence happened, I am reasonably certain it was before I turned 33. So I must have been a pretty busy guy. Especially because I have thoughts that I was some kind of mathmetician too. I have these thoughts too that I was captured by enemy forces at some point and tortured while in captivity.

As I was trying to go to sleep last night, I had a thought that I have a doctorate in computer science from Princeton.
and I had thoughts that I studied music as well at Princeton.

This sounds very interesting. In my memory of taking Physics my Senior year at Ashdown, I remember being very interested in the class, but we didn t cover such an interesting topic. http://www.princeton.edu/main/about/present/ Ayan Chatterjee (left) and Mark Daly measure piano strings as part of a lab project for professor Pierre Pirou 's freshman seminar on "Sound, Music and ... Physics."

I think I even have memories of the graduate degree process. I am not sure of the terms to describe the process.
9/28/2006 7:47 PM
I actually do remember... something... I can t explain it. It feels that I am holding an unmarked, undistinguishable book that I don t know the name of or the contents but I know I have read it already.
9/28/2006 8:34 PM
A few minutes ago I started thinking that maybe I started at Princeton University in 1972. I would have been 13 at the time as Thomas Ray. I remember that Kerry Burgess started first grade in 1972. But then I decided that I probably started Princeton earlier than 1972 and maybe 1972 was the year I completed my first major degree. Or 1972 doesn t really mean anything in particular to Thomas Ray; rather it is there for continuity sake for the life of Kerry Burgess.

Salesman
Also, "Salesman." I saw that in a dream while sleeping recently. I saw myself going through an induction process in the United States Marine Corps and I woke up understanding that I was dreaming of my actual experience in 1990. I saw a document that indicated I was being inducted to the United States Marine Corps with the officer grade of Chief Warrant Officer 2. I saw in the dream another document associated with my induction and that document indicated I had been assigned the informal name "Salesman."

KE'RA
Yes. I first believed this D'Argol was related to our loss of memory much the same way, but there's little evidence of it. I've found residue only in the bodies of those who have died since the Vorlix.
[Ke'ra falls silent as she finds the picture of an elderly man.]
DANIEL
What?
KE'RA
Sometimes the images of people in the archives look familiar to me. I wonder if I knew this person, or that person. There are still so many questions, like why are there no images of children and where have our elders gone? Through your Stargate perhaps?
DANIEL
Well, I suppose it's possible your people foresaw a disaster coming and sent the most helpless to safety.
KE'RA
No, Daniel, whatever happened, happened quickly without warning.
DANIEL
How do you know that?
[He sees her knowing smile.]
DANIEL
(smiling back)
Because if you saw disaster coming, you would have left yourselves a note.

[Carter is looking through Linea's research diary when O'NEILL enters the lab.]
O'NEILL
You were looking for me?
CARTER
Yes, Sir. I've been studying Linea's journals. Apparently, she found a link between D'Argol it's a chemical pesticide the Vyuns used and longevity.
O'NEILL
What's a bug spray have to do with longevity.
CARTER
Well, it seems it was having the effect of slowing the ageing process. Not in an extreme way, but certainly significant enough.
O'NEILL
Lucky bugs.
CARTER
Yes and no. They stopped using it over twenty years ago. It was adversely affecting their fertility rate.
O'NEILL
So no kids.
CARTER
Right. The point is, Linea was trying to enhance the life-extending properties of D'Argol to create a sort of fountain of youth.
O'NEILL
She was trying to make herself young again?
CARTER
(referring to the diary)
According to her last entry, Linea was about to conduct some controlled lab experiments using an intensely concentrated form of D'Argol, on two Vyun elders. A male and a female.
O'NEILL
And?
CARTER
And that's where her journal ends.
O'NEILL
Ah. The Vorlix, perhaps?
CARTER
Exactly. Now what if there really was a laboratory accident? Some massive chain reaction of enhanced D'Argol gas that caught even Linea by surprise? The entire population becomes young again overnight. You realise, of course, the implications.
O'NEILL
(nodding)
No.
[He gives her a blank look.]
CARTER
Uh, they're elders aren't missing, Sir. They are the elders. The fountain of youth worked. The amnesia was simply a side effect Linea didn't see coming.
O'NEILL
Ah, wait a minute. Linea is dead, right?

excerpts, by me, Kerry Burgess, 12/01/2023 04:15 AM
As though the Julian Jaynes bicameral gods are telling me - non-verbally - stories that I will discover in the future. That's a contradiction, however, to the concept Julian Jaynes expertly describes in his book. I am extending his concept about what happened to the people of ancient times and adapting to my own personal observations about my own personal experiences and I am suggesting that everyone today is affected by the notion I theorize. Far as I know, Jaynes never tried to suggest that the human species - past and present - have some sort of "back door" vulnerability to foreign influence by extraterrestrial intelligence. And I am not suggesting E.T. is here *now* and is still mind-controlling people to do stuff they would not have done anyway. Rather, I am more inclined to accept the fictional notion established in tangible form under the name James Corey and his "protomolecule". The human species forced into a collective consciousness by an alien race but they created it more than a billion years ago so don't take it personally.
