Tim admits to watching shark attack videos on planes, argues sharks are still violent apex predators, and riffs on his preference for quiet, splash-free beaches with women in white linen.

In this bit8 moments
  • Media brainwashing over 40 years has made people terrified of sharks instead of respecting and protecting them.
  • Tim watches shark attack videos on plane Wi-Fi, and also watches plane crashes while on planes.
  • Sharks are apex predators and violent, but Tim's position is to protect them while also protecting humans from them.
  • Can't build ocean gates to keep sharks out because the ocean moves and you can't contain it that way.
  • Shark spotters on beaches alert people when sharks appear, and most of the time sharks are swimming nearby without anyone knowing.
  • Sharks only attack things they know they're going to eat—they eat sick and dying fish and wander the globe as pelagic predators.
  • Tim's ideal beach scene: quiet women in white linens reading novels while men and housekeepers bring children in the water.
  • Tim believes human beings are special and unique, a statement he's held throughout his life.
