Amen. Keep your place in Luke chapter 16. We're going to be looking at a story in Luke chapter 16 this morning. But for now, let me just give you an introduction on what we're going to talk about. We're going to talk about a subject this morning that you don't hear about, especially in many churches today. You don't hear about this subject that is brought up in Luke chapter 16 in the story at the end of the chapter. And what we're going to talk about this morning is the topic of hell. We're going to talk about hell. What is hell? Where is hell? Who's going to hell? What is this all about? There's something that isn't talked about a lot today. So we're going to do a study on hell and look at some of the things that are taught today on hell and the reasons for it, whether people believe in it or not, and we'll just look at what the Bible has to say about this very important subject, especially as a soul winner, as somebody who's going to go out and be preaching the gospel to people. This is a super important topic to people that you may know that are not saved. This is a super important topic. So we need to know what the Bible actually says about hell. And since it's not talked about much, let's talk about it this morning. So first of all, turn to Matthew chapter 25. Keep a place in Luke chapter 16. We're going to go back there, but what is hell? What is the purpose of hell? The Bible talks a lot about this place. What is the purpose of it? It's a real place. The Bible talks about it. It's real. Turn to Matthew chapter 25. Let's look at what the purpose of hell is first. Why is there a place that the Bible calls hell? Look at Matthew chapter 25 and look at verse 46. And look what the Bible says. The Bible says in Matthew chapter 25 and verse number 26, the Bible says, And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal. Now turn to Mark chapter 9. The Bible teaches that there is an everlasting punishment. There's also eternal life or everlasting life, everlasting meaning it never ends. So the Bible is teaching that there is a place where people will go, certain people, to be punished forever. That's a scary thought. Look at Mark chapter 9. Look at verse number 43. Look at Mark chapter 9 and verse number 43. So first of all, it's not everlasting silence. It's not everlasting loneliness. It's everlasting punishment. The Bible says in Matthew chapter 25. Look at Mark chapter 9 and verse number 43.  It is better for thee to enter into life maimed than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched, where there were dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Turn to 2 Peter chapter 2. So here again, the Bible is saying that there is this place called hell, where the fire never dies. The worm dieth not. The fire is not quenched, meaning it has an eternal nature to it. It is literally everlasting. The idea of hell.  Turn to 2 Peter chapter 2. Look at verse number 9.  It's a place of punishment. Look at 2 Peter 2 and verse number 9. The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust onto the day of judgment to be punished. So look, some people, so look, there is a place where people, or some people, are going to go to be punished. The Bible says. And it is any everlasting punishment, as we saw in Matthew chapter 25. So turn to Psalm chapter 9. Turn to Psalm chapter 9. Notice how in 2 Peter chapter 2 verse 9, it says that, you know, the unjust are reserved onto this. So they are reserved onto this punishment.  Like there's been many cases of just wicked people on this earth who have done wicked things and then died. And some of them, maybe even, I mean, think about all the unsolved murders, or maybe serial killers that they never found, all this. But the Bible says that this judgment, this harsh, this final judgment on the unjust is reserved for them. It's reserved, meaning it's stored up. Meaning it's not something that is poured out on them in their life. Now as a saved person, you are going to be chastised by your Heavenly Father in this life. The Bible here is teaching that there is a judgment for the unjust, and we'll look at who the unjust is in a few minutes, but there is a judgment that is reserved for later. And the people that get this judgment, this judgment will never stop. This judgment will never end. I'll turn to Psalm chapter 9. So this is the purpose of hell. It is a punishment for the unjust, and it is eternal punishment. Look at Psalm chapter 9 and verse 15. Look at Psalm chapter 9 and verse number 15. The Bible says the heatheners sunk down in the pit that they made in the net which is hid in their own foot taken. The Lord is known by the judgment which he executed. The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.  Notice how the Bible says they were sunk down into the pit, and then the wicked shall be turned into hell. So we're talking about hell here. We're not talking about the grave, okay? There's a pit that could be looked at as the grave in the Old Testament. Then there's a pit that we're talking about which is hell in the Old Testament. That's what we're discussing here. Look at verse 18. For the needy shall not always be forgotten. The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever. Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail, let the heathen be judged in thy sight. So look, this is a judgment. Hell is a judgment on the unjust.  Look at Romans chapter 12 and verse number 9. Romans chapter 12 and verse number 9. So like I said, as a saved person, the Bible teaches that you are going to be punished by your heavenly Father. You've been adopted into God's family. You're going to be punished. How many saved people have I met?  A lot of them. That is their punishment. I've met drug addicts who are saved. But they're saved. Once you're saved, it's a done deal. You're sealed. It's done.  You can ruin your life on this earth. But there is a punishment for the unjust that is reserved. That is reserved. Look at Romans 12 and verse number 19. And why is that? Why is that? So we don't have to worry about some person that we think got away with something terrible or some wicked. You know, many people think I've had people ask me out soul winning. How can there be a God? How can there be a God when he allows somebody like Jeffrey Dahmer or some child molester or something? Maybe even somebody they... I've talked to some people out soul winning where you know I know that they had a personal experience either themselves or someone they love that was harmed by some wicked person. And they say, how could there be a God? How could there be a God that would allow someone like this to live? That would allow something like that to happen? Well, I have some comfort for you this evening.  Look, it should be fearful to people who are not saved. They should be terrified of it.  Otherwise, what was the point of the Savior? But it is also a comfort to people knowing Romans 12 and 19. Look what the Bible says. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place under wrath. Give the proper place under wrath. That's what God is saying here. He says, for it is written, vengeance is mine. I will repay, saith the Lord. God here is giving us some comfort.  Don't you, and we'll talk more about that this evening, but don't you get wrapped up in wrath? He's like, I've got this. He's like, I've got this. That's why Jesus said, when he was talking about someone who would harm a child, he said, it would be better if they had a millstone hung around their neck and they were drowned. He said, it would be better because I'm going to throw them in hell.  What are you going to do to somebody, folks? What are you going to do to somebody that would compare to that?  They could end up ruining their life on this earth and being of no profit to anyone on this earth. But what point is that?  That's the job of the government in Romans 13. That's the job of the government is to punish evil. Basically, the government today is doing everything that they shouldn't be doing and not doing what they're supposed to be doing, which is punishing evil. But all that being said, if the government fails, everything fails, we don't follow the law of the Bible. God says, I got it. Vengeance is mine. I will repay. And that is the purpose of hell. It is to provide, and look, you couldn't even think of something that is more just and that is more complete than this punishment. There's nothing we could think of that could be like that. So we know what it is. It's punishment for the unjust and it lasts forever. It's eternal punishment.  Where is it? Where is this place? Turn to Job chapter 33. The Bible tells us where it is too.  I can't really drop a GPS pin for you, but I can tell you where it is this morning according to the Bible. Look at Job chapter 33. We know what it is. Where is it? Where is this place called hell? Look, folks, it is a real place and it has a real physical location. Look at Job chapter 33. This is a problem today. People don't think it's real. It is real. Look at Job 33. It is not an idea. It is not a myth. It is not a spiritual aberration. It is a real physical place. Look at Job 33 and verse 23. Job 33 and verse 23. If there be a messenger with him and interpreter one among a thousand to show a man his uprightness, then his graciousness unto him and say, deliver him from going down to the pit. I have found a ransom. The Old Testament talks a lot about going down when it talks about the pit or hell. Turn to Isaiah chapter 14. Turn to Isaiah chapter 14. But is that talking about hell? Yes it is. Turn to Isaiah chapter 14 and look at verse 15. Look at Isaiah chapter 14 and verse number 15. Look what the Bible says. Make sure you get there because I want you to see this.  The Bible says down to hell. And then something really interesting comes up in the last part of the verse. It says what?  Not every time, but most times in the Old Testament when they're talking about going down to the pit is talking about hell.     If you want to get technical about it but then look what it says. Super interesting. It says to the sides of the pit. What does that mean? Why does it say you'll be brought down to the sides of the pit? Turn to Revelation chapter 19. Everything in the Bible has a purpose. Every reason, every statement. This is why the words of the Bible are so important. This is why you can't just go buy any Bible.  No, super important that you have a King James Bible that the exact words are exactly as they are here.  Shouldn't it say bottom? There must be a translation error there. Look at Revelation chapter 9 but here's something interesting about this pit. Why doesn't it say bottom of the pit? Look at Revelation 9 in verse number 1. The Bible says this, it says and the fish, fifth in the fish. I haven't been fishing for a few months so give me a break, all right? All right, so the Bible says and the fifth angel sounded and a star, and a star fall from heaven unto the earth and to him was given the key of the what? The bottomless pit.  Look at verse number 2. And he opened the bottomless pit and there arose a smoke out of the pit as a smoke of the great furnace and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. Do you know how this is? First of all, there's real smoke coming out of this. This is real. This is not a spiritual, you know, location. This is a real location that when it's opened real smoke comes out. And the Bible says that this pit it has no bottom which is why Isaiah 14 says you'll be brought to the sides of the pit. You'll be brought to the sides because there is no bottom of this pit. We say what kind of pit could have no bottom? And there came out of the smoke the locus upon the earth. Revelation chapter 9 again. And unto them was given power and the scorpions of the earth have power. So number 1, this pit has no bottom. Number 2, real smoke comes out of this pit. This is a real place. And real locus are going to come out of this pit if you read Revelation chapter 9. It's a literal place and it's bottomless. Now, let me ask you this. What is the lowest part of a coffee cup? The lowest part of a coffee cup is the bottom of the coffee cup. Now, what is the lowest part of a circle or a sphere? There is no lowest part. There is no lowest part of a circle. The circle only has sides. There is no bottom. That's why the Bible says that this is a bottomless pit is because it is located in the center of the earth and it has no bottom.  It just has sides. So first of all, you know, this is also proof that the earth is round.  But look, it is, hell is located at the center of the earth. That is what the Bible is saying. You know, so what is in the earth? Doesn't science know what is in the center of the earth? But look, here's what, let me read you what science actually knows is in the center of the earth because the Bible is clearly saying that hell is located in the center of the earth. That's what the Bible is saying. So what does science know? Certainly they must know everything, right? Here's what they know. You know, they've tried to drill. You know, if you've ever remember, you remember the model from grade school, you know, we have the crust of the earth and then we have the, which is really thin. They say if the earth, they say if the earth was an apple, that the crust is so thin, it's like the skin of the apple. Then the mantle, the mantle of the earth is the thick part, the white part of the apple. And then of course you have the core of the apple or of the earth. So that kind of gives you an idea of how thick the crust is. We've never even been able to drill all the way through the crust of the earth. As a matter of fact, we've tried though, we've tried the deepest hole within the United States, within the United States drilled. Look, I've toured, I've toured oil rigs. Look, they can do amazing things with drilling technology. Like oil rigs in North Dakota, they drill two miles into the ground and then they drill two miles horizontally across. And the guy on the oil rig that I was telling, that I was touring, he said, he's drilling literally four miles out. And he's got his drill bit on a computer screen and he says I can hit a coffee can with this drill bit. In the earth, four miles away, amazing technology, right? It's an amazing technology. But here's the thing, we've tried to drill through the crust of the earth. In the United States we got to 32,000 feet and the well was halted because it struck molten sulfur. Isn't that amazing? Look, here's, sulfur is brimstone by the way, just for the record. So first of all, you know, we hit brimstone and we couldn't keep going. It was too hot, turn to Revelation chapter 21. Turn to Revelation. I've hiked a volcano one time and the volcano actually blew up a year later. But we're hiking up this volcano and there's vents in the ground that are open that are just spewing.  So, I mean, look, this is, these are, this volcano, look, this heat is coming from somewhere. Look at Revelation chapter 21 in verse number 8. The Bible says, But the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and hormographers and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the lake with burneth with fire and brimstone. Now this is the lake of fire. We'll talk about that in a minute, which is the second death. But I just want to show you that this eternal punishment, that the lake of fire, you know, brimstone's involved. And look, we can see this coming out of the center of the earth with our own eyes. Alright, so we had to stop drilling in the United States at 32,000 feet. That's like six miles because it was just too hot. The Russians also tried to drill through the crust of the earth. They made it to like 40,000 feet. Again, it was too hot. It was melting the drill bit. They were drilling into like liquid rock. It was so hot down there. So we can't drill into it. So we still think we know what's in the center of it, though. From Popular Mechanics, I pulled an article out. I pulled an article out talking about what is inside the core of the earth. So we've never been there. We can just use seismic waves to try to get an estimate on what it's made of. Let me read you an article from Popular Mechanics on the center of the earth, on the core of the earth. It's a common refrain that the ocean depths are the last great frontier on earth. Yet there's a place that's even more inhospitable to humans than the crushing depths of the sea, our planet's interior. It's made of iron. In some place, it's 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit and plenty of scientists devote their lives work to understanding it. But how exactly do you conduct research on an impenetrable hostile environment like the Earth's core? Of course, Jules Verne wrote a book on how there's a bunch of animals and dinosaurs down there. I don't know if you ever read that. It was pretty good. But anyway, you know, journey to the center of the earth. But look, it's hot, molten, something. And probably a lot of it, at least on the outside, is iron. Let me continue reading. Instead of using CAT scans and X-rays, still from Popular Mechanics, to see the center of the earth, researchers use waves emitted by earthquakes to get a sense of the planet's insides. Just like an X-ray, seismic waves bounce around, changing in direction and speed based on the material that they pass through. If researchers can gauge how quickly a wave moves from one tracking station to another, they can get a pretty good sense of what the ground that the wave is traveling through looks like. The fact that mercury has a magnetic field tells us that its iron and part of it is molten, the scientist says. Without at least partially liquid core, the convection wouldn't occur, making it impossible for a planet to form a magnetic field. These same processes happen inside the earth, too. The energy released by the swirling liquid within our planet's outer core allows the earth to create a self-sustaining solar wind blocking shield. Without it, life on this planet wouldn't exist. So what he's saying here is that we know on the outer core that there's probably a swirling pool of iron ore, melted iron ore. And it has to be moving because that's what creates the magnetic field of the earth that protects us from the sun. Who still thinks this is an accident? Anybody? I mean, that's a pretty good explanation as far as the outer core goes. But as far as the inner core, you can go and read about it all you want, but they really have no idea. They really have no idea what's inside there. Another article that I read a couple of years ago talked about how they recently just found out that, yes, they have this swirling lake of iron ore around the outer core, but they finally found out that the inner core is much less dense than they originally thought. Meaning it's more open, it's more, you know, it's less dense, it's less compacted than they originally thought. So, but the bottom line is they really just have no idea. These are all just educated guesses. You know, more proof of the heat of the earth, by the way, is that it is common to use the earth to heat just for ourselves. In North Dakota, when it's a freezing climate up there, we use ground source heat pumps. We put coils in the ground and the ground is a constant 55 degrees. You say, that's cold. Well, if it's negative 20 outside, that's warm. So we're gaining that heat from the ground. We're using it, we use it when I would put in water pipes for livestock. You use the ground, you insulate around the ground to use the ground to keep the water from freezing. Because the earth has an inherent heat to it and it's coming from the core. It's coming from the core. So look, hell's in the center of the earth. That's what the Bible is teaching and it matches exactly what science is seeing. Just the heat, I mean, we can't even drill into the crust. It's so hot.  That's what the Bible is saying. The Bible is scientific. The Bible is telling us the specific location of the earth. That's what it means when it says the bottomless pit. There is no bottom to a spherical place. Okay? Who goes there? Who goes to hell?   Who goes to hell? Go to Matthew chapter 25. Matthew chapter 25. I mean, this is a place. We know what it's for. We know it's for God's punishment on the unjust. You know, look, it's not a place we want to go. It's not a place we want anyone that we would love to go. But go to Matthew chapter 25. Matthew chapter 25. Look what the Bible says in verse number 41. Look what the Bible says, Then he shall say also to them on the left hand, Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire. There's that everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels. So we see that the devil and his angels are going to go there. That, you know, it's mainly modeled. It's mainly designed. It's mainly prepared for the devil and his angels. Well, let me ask you this. Turn to 2nd Thessalonians chapter 1. What would send a man to hell?  The Bible tells us. Look at 2nd Thessalonians chapter 1. 2nd Thessalonians chapter 1. Let's look at what the Bible says would send a man to hell.  Look at 2nd Thessalonians verse number. 2nd Thessalonians 1 verse number 6. The Bible says this. Seeing it a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you and to you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels. In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God and that what? That obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. So these are the people that God is going to take vengeance on is people that obey not the gospel. Look at verse 9. And then you say well maybe he's just going to punish him right there. But no look at verse 9. He says who shall be punished with what? With everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power. Look at Matthew chapter 10. Matthew chapter 10 in verse number 28. So the Bible says that these people whoever these people are and we'll look at this in a few minutes that do not obey the gospel or who Jesus is going to punish. He's going to punish them with everlasting destruction.  It's talking about that it never ends.  No it is everlasting destruction folks. You say well how could you go there? How could my body go to the center of the earth and just be everlasting? Wouldn't it just burn up my body? Well here's the thing. Does someone's body go there? Look at Matthew chapter 10 in verse number 28. Look what Jesus says in Matthew 10 verse 28. The Bible says and fear not them which kill the body but are not able to kill the soul. Look folks but rather fear him that is able to destroy both body both soul and body and hell.    That's what Jesus is saying. That's killing your soul okay.   I mean turn to Revelation chapter 20. So where does your body go? So where does the body so somebody dies and their soul goes to hell.  Their soul has already left their body. You are looking at the body. You are looking at the body. Look at Revelation chapter 20. Here is what happens to the body in the end of someone who has died and their soul has gone to hell to the center of the earth the place called hell located at the center of the earth. Here is what happens when their body and soul their body and soul will reunite one day. Look at Revelation chapter 20. Look at verse number 11. And the Bible says this and it says And I saw a great white throne and him that sat on it from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead.  I saw the dead small and great stand before God and the books were opened.  It doesn't mean their soul is not conscious.  So these people now now the dead both small and great they stand before God and the books were opened and another book was open which is the book of life and the dead were the dead judged out of the book of life. The dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their works. The books were the law. The books were the Bible. There's the book of life and then there was the other books the books of the law and if people were in hell they're going to be judged by their works at this point right here.   This is the second death and whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. God kind of gives us that overall you know completed view in verse number 15 there. But look at this great white throne judgment the soul and the body is reunited together and they are judged according to their works. And look these people wanted to be judged by their works they're going to get exactly what they wanted. And then both are cast into a different place which is the lake of fire. So as we speak right now hell and the lake of fire are two different places that will one day be put together.  So look it is the souls that are in the center of the earth that are reunited with their resurrected bodies at the great white throne judgment that are thrown into the lake of fire. You say well where is the lake of fire? This is getting confusing turn to Revelation 14 turn to Revelation 14.  But look at Revelation chapter 14 all we can really say for sure is this look at Revelation 14 in verse number 10. The Bible says the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone. There's that brimstone again in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the lamb and the smoke of their torment ascended up forever and ever and they have no rest day or night who worship the beast in his image and whosoever receive it the mark of his name. Now the Bible here says that they're going to be tormented in the presence of the lamb. So turn to 1 Peter chapter 3. So if we want to get an idea of where the lake of fire is you know let's find out where the lamb is. I mean where's the lamb? I mean this is talking about Jesus here. Where is Jesus? Where is Jesus? Look at 1 Peter chapter 3 and look at verse 22. 1 Peter chapter 3 look at verse 22. Talking about Jesus it says who has gone into heaven and is on the right hand of God angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. So look the lake of fire the lake of fire and it's the same it's the same as in Luke 16 if you want to go back there but it's look it's somewhere in the heavenly realm. It's somewhere in the heavenly realm.   It's kind of a storage unit for souls that will one day be put in this lake of fire after the great white throne judgment. So everything is put into the lake of fire which makes sense because as you know God and the people in heaven can apparently see this. That's another scary thought. I mean it's a little bit of a terrible thought actually. If you think about the fact that you're going to be in heaven one day and you are going to be able to see the people that are in the lake of fire.  Look at Luke chapter 16. Luke chapter 16 look at verse 22. And it came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom.  Look he could see them too. He could see them too. I believe this is talking about his final state but he's in hell and it's kind of equating the two. But basically it's kind of saying like people in hell can see heaven as well. And he cried and said Father Abraham have mercy on me and send Lazarus that he may dip his finger in water and cool my tongue for I'm tormented in this flame.  So we see a firsthand account here of someone that is in this everlasting punishment.  He died and he lifted up his eyes and he was there. You go there right away. There's no soul sleep.  Abraham could see him. But look there's no going back. There's no going back and forth. That's what Abraham said. He's like there's a great golf fixed. There's no getting out and no one can come to you and you can't come to us. So look it's a terrible thing. Look it's a real place that God has reserved for judgment of the unjust and it's just as everlasting and just as eternal as heaven is. We'll talk about heaven next week. But here's the real problem folks. Here's the real problem.  So you have all these people that believe in heaven but they don't believe in hell. You say that doesn't make any sense. But look if you've been out so many you've met these people.  They're living in a cartoon world. And like look what and here's what really people believe today. You say well that's just you know 10, 15% of people that believe in heaven and not hell. But here's the thing. The vast majority of people there's two problems. There's two problems with people. What people believe today is that there's no God that would put people in hell.   So there's two problems. There's two problems. Yeah okay you say the majority of people do believe in hell. But those people the majority of them believe that nobody's really going there. Or the vast majority of people are not going there. But what does the Bible say? You know the Bible actually says that you know it tells us like where the majority of people are going.   That's what everyone believes. And everyone if you ask everyone are you a bad person? No one thinks they're a bad person. I'm pretty sure Hitler probably thought he was a good person. I'm sure Stalin thought I'm a pretty good person. You know I'm doing what's right. I'm doing what's necessary. So look people really have two problems. Some don't believe hell exists and they may believe that it exists but they don't believe anyone or that you know really anybody except the worst you know serial killer in their own mind is going to go there. But here's the issue. Look at Matthew 7. Here's the issue. Look at Matthew 7. Here's the problem. The problem is the Bible. The problem is what the Bible actually says. Look at Matthew 7 in verse number 13. The disciples had asked Jesus. They said they asked them this question. Are there few that be saved? They asked that they were basically asking Jesus do most people go to heaven Jesus? They knew how to get to heaven. They knew they were going to heaven and they're saying Jesus are most people going to go to heaven? That's a pretty good question. How's this whole thing going to work out Jesus? Are most people going to end up with us? Look what he says in verse 13. Matthew 7 verse 13. Enter ye in at the straight gate. Straight S-T-R-A-I-T like the straights of Hermuse. Like a narrow passageway is what this means. It doesn't mean straight like an arrow. He says straight for why does the gate? He said enter ye in at the straight gate the narrow gate. For why does the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction? This is the everlasting destruction that he's talking about. And many there be which go in there at. Because straight is the gate narrow is the way which leadeth unto life. And few be there there be that find it. He's saying look he's like no actually actually guys most people are not going to go to heaven.  Well I'm not happy to report this to you this morning.   Look this is a major problem. This is a major problem. Most people are going to hell and they either don't believe that it exists or they think that few are going there. They have it exactly backwards. You see folks turn to Romans 3. Turn to Romans 3. We're going to look at verse number 12. We're going to look at verse number 12 which is the verse right before you should always read you know you get out soul winning and you read certain verses. You should always every now and then just go read the few verses before and after your soul winning verses because they're just a lot of context in those verses. But here's the problem.  Here's the problem with that. Look at Romans 3 and verse number 12 they are all gone out of the way. They're together become unprofitable. There's none that doeth good. No not one. There's three times he says in that statement. They're all gone out of the way. All of you. They've all together become unprofitable. There's none that doeth good. Four times he says it. No just in case you didn't get it. Just in case you didn't get it. No not even one. There are no good people folks. If we have to be good to get to heaven none of us are going there.  Nobody's going to heaven if you have to be good to get there. This is the problem today. Thankfully but look thankfully this is not how a man goes to hell.  Turn to John chapter 3. John chapter 3. This is my favorite soul ending verse right here. John chapter 3 look at verse 36.   Look at John 3 36. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life but don't miss this. But the wrath of God abideth on him. That's why a man goes to hell because he hath not believed on the Son. He hath not trusted on Jesus Christ. It has nothing to do with how good he is or isn't because he's not good. He's not good. It is much look folks it is much simpler than good versus bad.  Good has become and it always has been subjective in the mind of man. This idea of good and bad. Think about that next time you get in an argument with somebody. Think about that next time you get in a fight with one of your brothers and sisters in Christ or you get in a disagreement with somebody. Hey you're not good and they're not good. So who's right? You're probably both wrong. That's why you're just commanded to just forgive because God knows that you're not good. He's not good. What are the odds that this whole thing is going to work out if you don't just forgive and you don't just forgive no matter what? You're both bad. That's harsh. We'll talk about that more this evening. But look that's why good is subjective in the mind of man. It always has been and it always will be. That's why there must be an absolute truth. There must be an absolute truth. I mean otherwise it's just like you know Brother Phil I think I'm better new. You think you're better than me. Well you're wrong. You know I mean what in the world? It's just it would just be this endless cycle of bad people being bad because that's what God sees. He looks down and he sees that we all come short. And look we're all going to hell if that's the rules. Turn to Romans chapter 4. This is a great little couple verses here that I use all the time to explain to people how it has nothing to do nothing to do with how good you are. Look people have been brainwashed by this today folks. It's bad. It's hard to get people. It's hard to get some people off of this idea that you know you can just be a bad person and end up in heaven. But look because of this fact look because of this fact that going to hell does not have to do with being good or being bad because of this. You know what? It is possible. Think about this. It is possible for someone that you think is a worse person than somebody else to go to heaven. Think about the logic of that. It must be true. I mean if it literally has no bearing on whether or not how good you are how you act in your life if it literally has no bearing on whether or not you go to heaven or hell that means that people that don't act right must end up in heaven and people that do act right a lot of the time must end up in hell if it has nothing to do with it.   You know think about this we go to a funeral this is always confused me when I was younger this not always now but always I'm not confused about this now okay but when I was younger I always thought about this I always went to funerals and I was Lutheran and I always went to funerals and you go to the funeral and it's just all about how great the person was this is a great person and all this and they just did so many great things great great dad great grandpa great all this stuff and they were just great and I'm just like man doesn't anyone ever go to hell?


Hi, well, I'm Professor Nesheba, and I want to tell you a little bit about the differential form of the first law of thermodynamics. So key to this idea is that there's some exchange of energy between what we're going to call the system and the surroundings, and thermodynamics lays that out in two ways. Here I just kind of imagine that the surroundings are this hot plate and the system is the liquid in that beaker and you know, maybe the temperature of the hot plate of the surrounding is greater than the temperature of that water. In that case, we know that heat's going to go into that water. We measure the amount of heat that transfer that goes from system to surrounding or vice versa by this quantity Q, or if it's a tiny amount we're going to call it DQ, okay? A small amount of heat is positive if the temperature of the surroundings is bigger than the system. Likewise, if the temperature of the surroundings, if the surroundings are cooler than the system, then DQ will be negative when we imagine heat flowing out of the system into the surroundings. Okay, so that's one way that we talk about the exchange of energy between system and the surroundings. The other one is through work, and I've just imagined a tire pump here. Got a surrounding pressure. Got the some gas inside there, which is at a pressure. If the pressure of the surroundings right there is greater than the pressure in the air inside the tube, then we know that the, you know, assuming this can move, the volume will go down. And what we say is that DW is positive system that the surroundings do work on the system. Likewise, if we have less pressure in the surroundings, we can imagine that the at the system would expand, its volume would go up, and we have DW is negative. So that's all about the exchange of energy between the system and the surrounding. Now we get to the other half of this, which is that U is this quantity that we say is just a totality of all the energy in the system. And I'm going to say DU is the change in that energy resulting from some process. Okay? And now here's the first law of thermodynamics. It's pretty straightforward. It says that the change in the total energy of that system, DU, would have to be equal to whatever change that happened as a result of a temperature difference, plus whatever result that happens as a result of work, which in this case I've indicated is the change in volume. So that's the first law. And then one can think about a few limiting cases here. We've talked about temperature being greater than or less than the system and the surroundings. But what if they're equal? Or what if the temperatures are different, but there's an insulator between them? Either way, no heat is going to pass from a system to surroundings. So dq will be zero. What if the pressure is equal, and the system is equal to the pressure of the surroundings? We would say that the system is in mechanical equilibrium with the surroundings. Or maybe there's just some blockage that prevents the volume of the system from changing, no change in volume. Either way, we can't get any work done, and so we would call that dw equals zero. Okay.


Every time you're about to say that isn't me, that's a really big indicator. That there's a resistance to change. There's a resistance to growth, to adaptation. So what I would say is completely eliminate that. Take that completely and totally out of your vocabulary.  Understand exactly what you're doing. Understand that what that really means is that I don't wanna change.  I wanna be good enough the way I am. I just wanna be myself. Now those are punchlines in this industry. But overall we're still gonna have those thoughts coming to our head. And I know because I still have those thoughts coming to my head. They come ahead into my head a lot less often but I still have them. And every time they come in I dismiss them. I dismiss them and I realize exactly what they are. There are resistance to change. And they're that resistance that I have to fight every single day. And that, gentlemen, that's the resistance that you have to fight every single day. Because if you don't do that, you will do what's familiar. And if that's the case, then I hope to God success is extremely familiar to you. I hope to God that your goals are extremely familiar to you because if they're not, which is why most of you are here, which is why most of you are trying to improve yourself. They're not, then what does that put you in? That puts you in the 95%. Again, it comes right back down to that. The five, the 95. These seven principles, gentlemen, are what make you successful. And I've distilled them from a variety of different disciplines. Now in this case, we're applying a lot of these to dating. But these specific principles are what define success for everyone in every category. If you look at successful people, whether it's in dating, whether it's in finance, whether it's in career, whether it's in politics, all of these people are applying these seven characteristics. So what that tells you is that when you apply them, it's a very simple formula. You get the same results. You get success. Now that does not mean by any stretch of the imagination that it is easy because it's not. But when you apply them, it's simply like a recipe. You get the recipe, you follow it and you get cookies.  You follow the recipe, you get the result. You follow the recipe, you get the cookies. That's how that works. To be attractive as a whole, bringing this back to dating, to be attractive, gents, you must be attractive. You can't just do an attractive line. You have to be attractive and you can't fool most people.  Now that, again, they're very difficult. It's not an easy thing. It's not an overnight thing. But no matter how long, no matter how many hours and how many days and how many years, you spend trying to fake it, that you try to appear confident unless you make the step to actually try to do it, to actually try to become it, then it'll never happen. You must become attractive, not just say the attractive line or act attractive. That's definitely a component, but you've got to take that final step to be attractive. The weird thing is that when you try to say the line, most of us think, oh, I'll say the line and then women will think I'm attractive. The weird thing, you don't fool them. They know. That's why they throw congruence tests. That's why they say is that you're pickup line because it doesn't actually work. The reason you do that is not to fool women. The reason you do that, the reason you act confident as part of the process is not to fool people. It's as part of the process towards becoming confident. Part of that process of becoming confident means you need to take on every aspect of that person, of that confident person. In order to be confident, you have to start acting like him. You have to start thinking like him. You have to do everything that he does and not try to fake any of it. You have to try to be him. And the more you do that, the more you become him. Ultimately, that's what we're after, gentlemen. That is that confident. That's why these seven principles work so well because they base it off of long-term growth, off of confidence and not off of short-term, I can get one great result now and in the future, I'm still the same person. It's about transformation. In the end, gentlemen, in the end, what we're trying to do has nothing to do with women. It's a great catalyst, but it really doesn't have anything to do with women. When I have my guys that I'm coaching on a bootcamp and I tell them, go approach that group. And he's scared to do it and he does it anyway. It doesn't have anything to do with that woman. It doesn't even have anything to do with women as a whole. When he comes back and he says, oh, they didn't like me. And I say, did they tell you to leave? And he says, no. And I said, then go back and talk to them again. And he says, why? I don't want to. I already left. And I said, go back and talk to them again. That has nothing to do with women. That has nothing to do with those women or women in general. When I figure out what the thing that scares them the most and I send them to do that, that has nothing to do with women. When we on an everyday basis face our fears, it has nothing to do with women. The reason we're here and ultimately the bigger reason we're here and the bigger reason we're doing this has nothing to do with women. It has everything to do with you. It has everything to do with being a man. And it has everything to do with doing things as a man, with facing your fears. Because one day, the stakes will be a lot higher. One day it won't be women. One day, going in and approaching that group when you're scared won't be about, oh, I'll just try another shot at approaching a woman. It won't be about, oh, I want to get a little more confident to be attractive to women. It won't have anything to do with it.    And that may be in your job, that may be in a theater in Colorado. That may be randomly on the street. At some points, you'll probably face a scenario like that.  In the Marine Corps, they always tell us the same thing. They say, you will not rise to the occasion. You will fall to your level of training. So everything that we do, all of the approaches that we do, all of that discomfort, all of the traveling to Columbia and scaring the crap out of myself, all of that comes down to one thing. It comes down to, are you willing to do what's necessary? Are you training yourself to see that fear and to rush headfirst into it, whether it's a hail of bullets or whether it's just plain fear?   You won't be a hero. You won't do what's necessary. You won't defend your loved ones. You will run. You will run exactly the way you train to do. So if nothing else, remember and understand that we're not doing this for women. We're doing this for us. We're doing this to become better men. We're doing this because one day you'll have to call upon that courage. You'll have to call upon that skill set. You'll have to call upon that ability to bust through that fear, that anxiety and do what's necessary. If nothing else, that is what I define as a man and that is one of the central things that defines the difference between a man and a boy. And that is why we're all here. And that is what is required of you. My name's DJ Fuji. Thank you guys. For those of you guys at home, you just missed out. Because not only do you not have access to all the free bonuses that we're giving away, but you don't have access to the Q&A session. And this is where, off camera, this is one of the bonuses that we're gonna give to all the guys that made the effort, that made the sacrifice to be here. And I wanna congratulate all of you guys and I want you guys to give you guys a round of applause. Everyone here had to make a sacrifice to be here.  And you're all here for one reason, to become better men. And I thank you guys for that. And you guys at home, I expect to see you next year.


OK. So we're going to talk about, nominally, we're going to talk about Ember data. We're not going to talk about Ember data in the broad stroke sense. What I want to talk about is a problem that I ran into, how I went about solving it, and hopefully it's something that you can either benefit from or contribute to. I, my Twitter handle is Yankee in London. I'm kind of relatively new to the Twitter scene. My old ex-fiance's roommate created Twitter. I was actually supposed to be involved in reviewing a project back in San Francisco in the early days that was a precursor to Twitter. But I'm now getting it. I think Twitter is a good thing. And I'm signed up, so if you want to get a hold of me, that's probably the best way these days. So let me just give you a little backdrop on what I've been doing. So as I mentioned in the beginning, I'm not an Ember expert. But I have now, this is my second application that I've built with Ember. The first one was a front-end interface. It was more of an experiment, a little bit of a play, to see how Ember might work. And in a sense, this is a little bit similar. I've got a architecture where the primary focus from the client side has been iOS. And it's iOS communicating through a RESTful API to a couch base back end. And so we're early days, so the administration of some of the couch base documents was easy enough to use the tools that come with couch base going in there and mucking around with some of the JSON. But at some point, the idea occurred to me that an administrative interface might be a good way to start to become more familiar with Ember, start to really understand whether Ember data is the right solution for what I'm trying to do. And it became more necessitated by the fact that in couch base, I was starting to do more advanced things with lookups that some of the business logic that was tied into the back end, it was no longer really that convenient just to go in and play with the data directly. So having the same business logic that the iOS app or any client would have when data's been manipulated be available to the administrative application was attractive. So I did that. And the first thing I did was I think anyone who's done an Ember application is really simple to go through and iterate through a set of arrays.  And it's very easy to, in this case, if I want to manage, say, reference data in an application, I'll flip back and forth a little bit here. I'll show you just so you can see it a little bit more the interface. So I'm not going to go through all of this. But in this application, the idea of an action is something that a person can do. And as I said, it's just a standard REST-based API. So you can make your GET request with no ID and get back a list of the different actions that are available. You can ask for a specific one. You can add one using posts. PUT is an update, so on and so forth. It's all fairly basic. What I'd like to be able to do, though, is have the administrative interface go in and use this API and start to manipulate the couch base records behind that. So let go back into now. So getting a table of actions is easy. Using an array controller, go to the model. I can see all the data that's there. But if I want to go into an actual record, my assumption was is that it would also be easy to iterate through the properties. And actually, that isn't kind of automatic. There are some libraries out there, libraries called SWAG that helps you go through iterate through object properties. And it's not hard to create helpers that allow you to work or components that would allow you to go through different objects. But in terms of getting out the properties that you'd want for a record in Ember data, you have to put it together yourself. And really what I was looking for is really actually quite simple. It was just, I want to know what is the name of the property. I want to know what is its value. And I want to have a bound connection to it. And I'd like to know what type of information that is. I mean, type in the most basic sense. And so if it's defined in the model as being a string, I want to know it's a string, or a number, or a date, or whatever it's defined as. Potentially, there's also some additional meta information I might want to add on to that as well. And if we have time, I can show you that there's also ways of extending this beyond that. But these three attributes are the key thing that I want to build my administrative interface on. The idea would be is that I can have a model neutral approach. I can just throw the name of model. And it will go through and display all the attributes, use the appropriate widgets, so that if it's an array, it'll give me some sort of control that works the rays. If it's a Boolean, so it'll give me an off switch or whatever is appropriate for the type of data that's there. So this is really, I think, another way of saying it's pretty small. But what I want to be able to do is have someone build a model and then have the screen built automatically so that the administrative interface just kind of grows with the model as it's being developed. So I went into, first, you go into the EmberJS website. There is the guide section. And you can get a certain distance with that. And pretty quickly, there was clear that the questions I was asking weren't getting answered there. So I went to the API section, which is the next point of reference. And in the API section, there are quite a few things that are available. So there's a number of static methods and data types related to the model object. And in their own ways, they all sort of answer around this question. In terms of those three attributes I talked about, none of these talk about the value. They're all talking about trying to address the type. Is this a relationship? Is this an attribute? If it's an attribute, what type of attribute is it? If it's a relationship, what type of relationship is it? But I just found, in many ways, kind of structurally not very well suited for what I wanted. The way I would like to view it is just there's a list of things in my model. Because even the relationships to start out with, my model have, let's say, an action is related to, well, this doesn't make any sense. Let's say a unit of measure. So there's a one and many relationship. To start out with, I'm just going to put that as a string field. I think most people, when they model these things, they just put in strings. And then that allows you to, or an array. And that allows you to kind of have ultimate flexibility. Then you can start to tune it to a has many relationship or owned by relationship later on. So when I looked at the outputs of this structurally, it was a little bit weird in that it would list, one of these, let's see, attributes would only list attributes. Relationships would only list relationships, which I guess makes sense. There's one of them here, and I guess it's not here. There's another one that says, list all fields. But when you start getting fields, that comes close to what I want. It's now the full list of things that are part of that model. But the problem with that is that the type then becomes auto. I mean, for the type on a attribute, the type is just attribute instead of, say, in string. So you lose that resolution there. You call one API to get that. You say, oh, it's an attribute, and then I have to call another one to find out what type it is. Again, it's all not terrible. It's just not exactly out of the box. It's not certainly available to the templating engine in the way I wanted it to be. And then in terms of value binding and promises, this is something that is starting to make a lot of sense to me, but it's also something that I'm not perfect at yet. So my realization was that trying to bind to an actual record was creating difficulties because the model itself, if it wasn't held in memory, the reference to the record itself would go away. So what I had to do is I actually had to bind to the right, I'll show you an example because it's easier for me just to show you than talk through it. But so in the case of iterating, this is readable. So if I have a binding, which really what I'm interested in is the type or the value, I can't simply bind to that attribute and pass along this object. I have to instead include the actual record and then make a relative binding from that record over to the field. That makes sense. In any case, that's doing that. And now I've went through the guides, the API, and the discussion lists and finally come up with this solution. And it does work. So I get a bound reference to the values. And in summary, I was able to create a mixin that gets my simple answer. It gets me to give me the type, give me a binding to the value, and give me a reference to the name. And based on time, what I was thinking is I can show you, I can just go through the exercise of building from a kind of completely blank project, the controller calling the API, getting a list of items, and then showing you the model neutral way of going through this. And I hope that'll work. Or I can just show you the endpoint where kind of the conclusion, I'll probably show you that anyways at the end. I think we're going through pretty quickly. What are we trying to end at? So I'm going to try going through the actual coding exercise then. So the starting point is at zero. So we're really starting here with a project, which I'll keep the debugger over in the right-hand side so we can look at that throughout the exercise. I'll make this a little bit bigger so we can read. And all we have is a single template which says, check out this cool sexy admin functionality. And if I click on that, it will go to the admin route which has nothing. So pretty much starting at zero. Let's look at that in code. So in code, we have what you'd expect. There is a reference to the REST model. I won't go into that, but it's pretty basic stuff, just connecting it up to the API that I showed you earlier. And, well, here, let's just look at it quickly. So it's as simple as specifying that there is a prefix on the API, and then there's an array element that I'm doing a serialization for. But other than that, it's just plain vanilla of using the REST adapter as it comes out of the box. So that's our starting point. So there is a semblance of being able to talk to this API. There is a route called administration, and there is an administration item route. And the idea is that on the admin route, what we're going to want to do is set up just a text field where we can type in a model, and then it'll use that model to go and pull out down all the records for us. So we can choose a record, and then it'll tell us all the properties in that table. So that's what we want to do. And I've cheated a little bit to make this a little bit faster, and I've created some models for us. So if I save that, go back to the blank admin page again. And if I go to the data side here, now you'll see that there's three models do exist, it's definitions. There's nothing in there. But we have something called an action, which we talked about earlier. We have units of measures and unit of measure systems, which we may not get to, but if we want to talk about how relationships versus attributes are set up, we can use that as an example of that. So models are set up in our definition now, but no interactivity. So the next thing I'm going to do is add in, I forgot my cheat sheet. We're going to create a controller and a template, which is just for the index. Again, this is for the array controller. It's going to just show us the list of different IDs within whatever model we specify. So I'm going to save that. When we come up back over here, now the template's been updated, so it allows us to put in the model name. And if we go back and look at data, our options are action, unit of measure, unit of measure system. I'm going to choose action, which point is going to say, yep, that's a valid table. And it'll give me a list of different IDs that are available, and I can choose whatever I want. So let's just choose eight, launch. Now, by clicking on that, you'll see that we've navigated to the next route. So the next route is an item. And the goal here now is to introspect. And of course, this is the magic. This is the part that I was struggling with, is how do I go through dynamically and figure out what are the properties, what are the types of those properties. And hopefully, this is the part that works. Now, I was coding as I came over here because I didn't give myself enough time for this talk. But OK, so let's see now. So actually, one thing to note, too, is that you notice here that in loading the actions prior, we have loaded up all 100 or 116 action records that are all in here. And what I'm going to do is now bring in the item controller. And let's take a look at what this is actually doing. So I think at first, it's not going to work. But so basically what this is going to do is it's going to map back to the index controller. So it's going to say, what is the model that you're using? And what is the ID that you have? And then it's going to ask for a promise or for that record in the form of promise and put it into the content field. So that's the goal of this item controller. And then in terms of the template, really simple, it's just we'll come to the second. The model super meta is going to be effectively the iterator that will go through each one of the properties. And again, we're going to ask for the name. We'll use a text field for the value. And what type of field it is. So I think I like that order better. So this is the original problem I was trying to solve. And if I go back to the web browser, I don't think it's going to be solved right now. I'm going to, should have already reloaded, but I'll just reload it for the sake of arguments. And in fact, yes, I have some sort of an error. And why is that? And the reason is because we don't have a mix-in, I think. So right up here, you can see that it was expecting some sort of mix-in. That was the mix-in that I mentioned earlier that kind of solves this problem. So let's go back and add it in. Doesn't really matter where I put it. So now, with this mix-in being associated with the product, I also have to go into the item controller. Oh, actually, in that case, it's already referenced here. It just wasn't included in the project. So it should work now. This is what I was afraid of. So the items comes up. The template is loaded. If we look at the controller, we can see that the mix-in's properties are all here. This is what I was scrambling with the last five minutes. I realized that this, in the new environment that I've set up, does not seem to work. The idea here, and I'll show you it working in a second because it does work. There's something a little bit squiggly going on, is that the model fields will give us the straight list values of all the attributes and relationships. And then, SuperMeta just brings that in, along with the bounded values as well, to give us the simple objects that the template can iterate through. So ultimately, this is an example of what the end product looks like. So here is a list of a table. This is the actions table that we were looking at before. We can choose an item, all the properties, if that thing come in. It identifies the type of information based on the type. If it's a Boolean, for instance, it will put in some sort of a flag for a Boolean user interface. If it's like synonyms is an array, so it can come up with a multi-selector of whatever I like. And I can go back to the list and see that I didn't save it. So it's noticing that the record is dirty. So it allows me to come back here and just save it there. Likewise, I can delete records. But it just allows now for a simple way of me just pointing at any new model that comes into the system and having a quick way of viewing the attributes, clicking into them, and then checking out the various properties. So that's it. Well, actually, I guess one thing we didn't. Let's see if I can give you an example of it now. I think I've simplified the model right now. One of the things I started to do, I mean, I think most people when they start using number data, they use, as I said, the strings for a lot of the relationships. So for instance, if I take a model which has a relationship units of measure, demo problems, OK, I'll have to explain it. So when I put in a unit, a measure has a system of units of measure. So for instance, a kilometer is part of the metric system. So it has a relationship to metric. And right now, I just have it listed as a string. So therefore, I can say it's part of the string metrics, or I can say string comma imperial, if I think it should be associated with the imperial system as well. And that model works. It doesn't really take full advantage of what you're getting out of Ember data. So obviously, you want to start to use the built-in relationship functionality that Ember data brings. And this simple model, this mix that I've talked about, will certainly expose that information. So it's not a problem. You can visually see what are the relationships, what kind of relationships are they. But my first experience with them was that this is for what I'm trying to do, which is just a functional goal of being able to administrate this data easily. It was more hassle than it was worth to start out with. So it works. It does what I need it to do, as it is, over the course of the next couple of weeks. I probably will try to find some time to start getting the Ember data working the way it should be working. And it's more complete fashion. But I'll stop there. What questions do people have? Have you looked at how the Ember Inspector implements a zone-like data section? Because obviously, that lets you edit data as well and save it and such. Yeah, that's a good point. No, I haven't. I mean, so I haven't looked into the code, if that's your mind. Because effectively, what I would say is that the problem that was solved here is not a hugely complex problem. It's just, in fact, it's a relatively simple problem. But it's so simple that I would actually expect it to be more out of the box. I would think that in the same way that with an array controller, we can simply iterate through that, I would think that we'd just come out of the box. And maybe it will at some point in the future. It was sort of a fun way to try to get underneath the covers and maybe looking at the source would have been a good way of figuring that out. Other questions? Jamie? I think that's a little bit more about the line sketching. I can. I think it's probably more of a beer conversation. The short version is it's sort of an intersection of the health care and wellness space that's taking place. For those of you, I think probably a lot of you who are reading the tabloids these days about Apple's new iWatch or whatever it will be called, they're making even more popular a space that two years ago pretty much didn't exist. My focus is within that kind of realm. And it's more focused on connecting the individual to a set of professional services like personal trainers, dieticians, physiotherapists, and allowing for them to interact in a more effective way. There's a very strong evidence to suggest that people who want to create behavior change do it much more effectively with those sorts of actors involved. And I think they're all very keen on working on a data level with people, but they just don't have the tools to do it right now. OK. Well, we may be done. We may be beer time. OK. Well, let's break. Thank you.


You know, this is our first time covering a world star comments section. Let's run the clip. How do you feel about her having guy friends? That's totally cool. I've always had guy friends. He's my every single guy friend I've had. I had girlfriends. Some of my guy friends has literally watched his vlog.  No, I think that's insecure if you do. How is that insecurity? There's no insecurity. I'm just secure with who I am. I'm secure in the relationship. And as long as you're secure in the relationship, everything works out. You don't think her being in that environment with another man one-on-one would create a bridge between you two? No, because at the end of the day, relationships are all about trust. And if you don't trust your person, you shouldn't be with them, right? So if you trust them enough to be in a relationship in a one-on-one situation with a male figure or whatever, it doesn't really matter. If those friendships existed before me, who am I to say no? Right? At the end of the day, as a man, it's about being confident. And if you're confident enough, it doesn't matter. But why would your woman want to spend time with another man one-on-one if she has you? Let me ask you a question. Do you have any friends that are females? We gotta go. Oh, man! They titled this, She Was Deaf Deleting Messages. Dude, get asked how he feels about his girl having guy friends. Andrew, let's be honest, the vast majority of commenters that were dissing this guy, obviously there were some people in support of him. We're non-Asian. Yeah, guys. And obviously, you know, this is going very viral. So we're going to cover the comments section, the controversy, what we actually think is happening in this clip. So please hit that like button and check out other episodes of the hot pop boys. But you know what's not controversial? Smala sauce. Check it out. Very delicious. Almost selling out of our first batch. Get in now, smala sauce.com. Make sure you shake well. Anyway, let's just get into the comments section. Somebody said she's using that Wuhan boy for his stem money.  And there was a ton of other comments. I'll just pop them up right here. I mean, these are essentially negative and bashing on the Asian guy, right? Saying that, oh, Asian guys only get with cute non-Asian girls when they're sims. Oh, Asian women don't even want Asian guys. Everyone knows that Asian dudes are suckas. I've noticed a trend of Asian men overly pandering to women.   I'll pop them up here. Andrew, these comments, I'm going to go ahead and assume these are not Asian guys leaving comments dissing this Asian guy. Wow, these are non-Asians. But I don't know the exact mix of breakdown of ethnicity. Well, a lot of people say on WorldStar. I'm not saying for sure because it's probably a mix of everything. People say that everybody pretends to be black on WorldStar, whether they're black or not. Right, they type as if they're black, I guess. Well, because that's just the internet, right? That's been the internet since for the gaming days, even on the headsets, people fake things, right? So, David, we're pointing out certain comments, right? But does it seem like most guys are against him or with him? I would say in the WorldStar comments section, most guys are against what looks like to be this, I would say, good-looking Korean guy with a Eastern European girl who is also good-looking. But to me, people don't understand that this couple in 2023 is actually incredibly trendy. This is a pattern, this is an archetype. Sharp-faced, good-looking Korean guy who looks like he could be a K-pop star or could have been, you know what I mean, at least a K-pop backup dancer with a Eastern European Barbie, you know what I mean?  He looks like if there was ever a Korean Batman character, he might play Batman. Well, yeah, because his face is sharp like how they draw Batman, right?  It's a, this archetype of guy gets a lot of girls in 2023. He kind of looks like he would work at a icy fresh with Ben Baller or something like that. So you're making the argument that it's not even that crazy that they're dating. Like the disparity between her being a European girl I don't know if she's white or whatever. It looks like her name is Anastasia. Right, right, but like this couple actually fits, you're saying it actually makes sense, but a lot of people on the internet don't understand that they just see an Asian guy with a slim white-looking girl and they're like, oh no way this Asian guy could get her, no way. Right, right, he's gotta be throwing money at her, he's gotta be letting her cheat on him or whatever like that. But a lot of people don't understand that the Eastern European woman and good-looking Korean guy couple is super common in 2023. But a lot of people, if you live outside of LA and New York and you're not seeing the IRL reps, you're gonna think it's like unbelievable, right? So is that your main take? Your main take? I think that that's my main take. Also I do think that people are just like hating on this guy because they can't get what he gets. Like you know what I mean? Like we all know Andrew, the internet section, these are real feelings, but would you say that people who tend to leave internet comments and a high volume of internet comments are not necessarily killing it in real life? Dude, I will tell you this guys, you think that Asian men are the only type of man that's bitter on the internet? No!  So there's a lot of non-Asian in-spells on the internet actually, but we don't think of them, even black, white in-spells, right? Latino in-spells.  The internet is full of in-spell thinking people. So I'm saying like, you think that Asian guys are the only bitter type? No, these guys are bitter about their situation. Every guy of every type can be bitter. There's a distribution, a lot of people don't understand, there's a variance. Just like there's a variance of attractiveness in every group of guy or value or whatever you think your algorithm or equation is, you know how so many guys argue about what's their, the algo or what's the equation of how you develop value in this society, this fishbowl, that fishbowl. I guess what I'm trying to say is this though, would you agree that there still is this prevailing thought in-spell or not, Andrew, that like Asian brands, let's just say that Asian guys are like Chinese sneaker brands right now. If you really know about Chinese sneaker brands, some of the best shoes coming out right now performance-wise are all the Chinese brands, whether it's the way away, Ten from Leaning, or these other shoes. Highly rated by everybody. Ultra high rated by the professional sneaker reviewers. But when you go online and you hear that Kyrie is signing with Anta, Yolkich is signing with 361, Andrew, have you seen the comments? They're like, people are like, oh, all those shoes are about to fall apart in the game. All their careers are going downhill if you gotta sign with the Chinese brand. It's almost like the same feeling of like, you know how like people want iPhones, right? And even though the S23 Ultra from Samsung or the Sony phones Xperia or the OnePlus Fold, people still be like, come on, that Asian Android companies is trash. Like people still say that even though the professional, like sneaker reviewers, the phone reviewers, they rank them, all those phones very, very highly rated. So David, are you saying that when it comes to Asian guys, ranking Asian guys, the experts or the kind of analytical people- People who are in the know and know what their- They understand that Asian guys are a pretty good value and they might be even underrated right now and undervalued. Yeah, and to anybody who's looking on the outside end. But the mass main demographic, like the general population doesn't understand it. Yes. And the general population still sees Asian guys as below them. Yes, yes, yes. I mean, I would compare it to the general stereotype of any group that has like a rank in a certain field. For example, Andrew, any time women have a really good sports highlight, particularly in basketball, you're going to see the Instagram comment like 70% of it is going to, depending on what page it's posted on, is going to come out against women. Right. Those are a lot of kind of like dudes who are commenting to put women down. I could beat her when I was in high school and she's making millions as a pro or whatever, right? So I guess that like, because Asian guys in a very, very macro sense, right? Andrew, Asian guys rank very high in money making, making fundamentally sound decisions in life, going to school and learning academically at a high level. But having a big shlong and taking your girl at the club, you would not say that that would be something that people would think that an Asian guy is going to do. Right. I think to the experts or people who are thinking long term or Asian guys seem like a sensible choice for a lot of women, you know, especially when they're thinking about family. And I think that if you're thinking about even stability, if you just want a stable boyfriend, I think a lot of Asian guys fit into that. But you're right. On the kind of hypercharged. Hyper masculine, right? Hyper masculine, volatile, like spontaneous, hyper sexy ranking. Maybe they're not ranking as high right now still. And I think even girls who are into the k-pop or k-drama archetype are not necessarily getting with those guys for that reason either. Yeah. They're liking a different archetype, almost like a more like a Timothy Chalamet. Well, David, I'll just say this. Most people in the comments section are not analyzing it like us. All right. Is there any truth to the fact that Asian guys have had some high profile cases of quote unquote simping for white women in the past five years? Yeah. No, it matters. It matters. I mean, there's that Korean surgeon in New York who was, you know, handsome looking and well off himself. But he caught simping because his girlfriend was being also an escort on the side. Which was unbelievable. I didn't even know. I felt like that. Where was the logic? I think that's a failure on due diligence. You know, I think he deserved better. What about Kevin Sugihara? Andrew, he was a Japanese American head of a studio and he got tripped up also by a similar situation. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he lost everything. There has been cases of Asian guys simping. There has been some famous cases. And it's unfortunate because there's, I wish there was more famous cases of Asian guys overachieving with women and dating all this and this celebrity and this model and like, Oh, like what if what's your name? Giselle who divorced Tom Brady? What's the next guy's Asian? Right. You know, that'd be cool.  Or if that I think she got with a Brazilian Jujitsu instructor, he could have been half Japanese Brazilian. What a help, right? Who knows? So do you think that this guy is getting played out for you personally? Because this is how the comment section was played. I mean, I was watching her fingers. I don't actually think she's deleting text messages. I think she's just texting somebody back. I had to look into it though. I don't think so.  She's a terrible girlfriend. She's a terrible person. And I don't even think this guy was doing the interviews who was very famous, I think in Atlanta or Miami. I don't, he's not even, he doesn't even do the trade phones thing. That's somebody else. Yeah. I think that they're just in a very 50-50 relationship. I don't think he's in a hyper-dominant relationship, but I think he's in something more new school where it's a little bit more like, you know what I mean? More like, yeah.  Maybe they're not, they're just dating around. Maybe they're just like having fun for the night. So that's why he's like, yeah, sure she can hang out with guy friends because I'm not going to marry her. Yeah. No, I mean, let's be fair here. I see what the comment section is saying. I get it. He could be in a more, I guess, in a dominant position, but it doesn't seem like he is. But that could be their situation. I remember I used to date this Mongolian girl who kind of was more with the Russian side and the Eastern European women, they can have that like very bold sort of like, yes, we are going here tonight. You know what I mean? Like, I could see how from the outside looking in, that could be the perception. But then when you're in it, it's like 50-50 kind. I mean, you could be in a relationship with a dominant Asian woman too, as it got to be white or I mean, it could be a dominant black woman, dominant Latina too, you know. Do you think right now that the Asian Pretty Boy has more of a 1990s R&B stereotype where you know how those guys were all considered simps for women and or usher boys to men, Montell Jordan, Keith Sweatt, Carl Thomas? That was like, they could say. You know you must love me. And we have to go so far as to say Mario Winans made a song called, I don't want to know. Basically saying, if you're cheating on me, don't let me know because I'll be too heartbroken. Was that not a simp song?  I don't know. Like if it works, it works guys. Like the Mario Winans took it too far. Yeah, everybody's going to have to figure out their own situation. But I'll tell you this, a lot of dudes on the internet that leave comments, they just want to feel like they would never settle for that.  I will say this. I do think that if a guy, let's say for example, this Korean guy is pretty good looking, right? If he was in K-Town, he may be able to project some type of more lopsided masculinity, but it's true if he wants to date non-Asian women. I feel like Asian guys fit more into like a new school masculinity archetype. But if he stayed in the Asian world, he might be able to project an old style. You're saying that in the Asian world, he would more likely get to be that masculine F-boy. But in the non-Asian world in Miami, he's got to play the nice guy. Yes. You're saying that's how it spans out. The fish bowl thing is different.  In the NBA, you're setting screens as a role player. You don't get an ISO maestro in a wing. I don't know. Anyway, let's just get into the Reddit comments from the Asian guy forum, Andrew. Somebody said, man, it's just all uneducated people who don't really know things and they just got to deal with a changing world. So, I mean, do you think that's true? I mean, that's just the World Star comments. Somebody said that, you know, it's interesting different guys judge Asian guys differently. White guys, they may judge Asian guys off of societal ranking. Let's say, for example, Black dudes. Some of them are really cool with Asian dudes, but some of them may also judge Asian guys off like some sort of perceived testosterone lacking ranking. Yes, that is true. I agree with that. Yes, yes. Different people have different metrics of how they assess people, right? Or assess different things. Somebody said, this is how people see us in a macro sense and I just feel like these internet comments reveal it. Yes or no? I think that at the most extreme end, there's some truth to this. The World Star, by the way, that comment section is not Quora or Reddit. They're not the very educated people. Somebody said that everybody who is jealous right now of people or an archetype is saying, acting like this right now. If you go on the internal Indian internet right now, there's a lot of Indian guys that are saying this against all the new young Gen Z Indian girls who love K-pop guys. There's a lot of guys who are jealous, low-key of Asian men, at least on the internet. There's a lot of dudes out there that are jealous of how trendy Asian men got. Now, whether your sister or cousin, your woman crush that you like, is trying to date Asian guy, which I don't think they all are. Or just watching K-pop, right? But if they're enamored by Asian men, then a lot of guys are jealous. Because in the male gaze, they can't understand it. No, because in the male gaze, you're just thinking you're like, well, if they're 6'4", Jason Momoa, and they're buff, sure, I guess. I can't really argue with that because I understand they're just like a Hulk character or like a Thor. Dude, do you think they could more understand like what Tim Chung, the cop? Yeah, if they're 6'4", Asian and buff, sure. Tatted up, got guns, whatever. I guess I'll take it. That's an anomaly. But man, if they're these skinny, soft boy, soft hair, wispy hair like Asian guys, I can't take it. Right, no muscles, no gains or whatever like that, right? But they're super ripped, who knows. Somebody said hating means we're onto something. There's no successful man without a crowd of haters keep going, boys. Yep, yep, yep. Yeah, I mean, that's what I would still tell like Leaning or 361 or ANTA or like, you know what I mean? Like Chinese phone companies, I'd be like, yeah, I mean, it's true that some measure of people are never going to be into OnePlus or like 361 just because it's like, you know, an Asian brand, but you gotta just keep developing, R&D, just keep attacking, right?  Now, this is mostly internet. Like I really don't see that many haters in person. I used to feel it a little bit more five years ago. Do you have an interesting story real quick around the LES? Oh, when I was at a bar, this was five or six years ago though, when I was in New York City, I was at a Speak Easy bar with a Korean girl. She was a newscaster, so she had a look. She had some American appeal to her, right? Yeah, a lot of the look. And there was like, we were at the bar just enjoying ourselves, getting into it, having, just smiling, having fun, having drinks. The vibes. Yeah, and I don't know if we were maybe being too loud, but these two big white guys, they kept staring at us. They could not stop staring at us. And I think maybe- No, no, let's be honest, you were not in the Asian bar though. Yeah, I wasn't in the Asian bar. You were in Excuse Me French. You were in Excuse Me French. At a boy, at Speak Easy in LES. And then I just felt this like looming, like shadow of these white guys just staring at us, being almost like, I could feel them saying like, man, why is she with him? What? She likes him? Like, look at this Asian guy. God, they're freaking annoying. No gains. He got a pompadour. Yeah, he's shorter than me, you know. Yeah, stuff like that, so. I can't believe Kyrie or Yolk had signed with Chinese sneaker brands, right? No, literally, it's like that. How he can't, but like, I should be getting girls like this easily. You know what it is, man? It's like sort of like some people, Andrew, they're like Air Max Impact 4s. They're low-ranked Nikes, but they're like, dude, I'm from Nike, the brand that created Jordan. And I'm like, you know, the brand that has the LeBron 21. And here's this guy from like one of these Chinese brands, even though you're like one of the top ranked shoes from one of the Chinese brands or whatever. You know what I mean? You just got good ratings, but then they're just like, it's from like one of those brands. So they're trying to cat, even though they're not even a good version of their brand, they're just looking at their brand's market cap being way more dominant than your brand. You know, when we think about the world changing and all these issues that divide people and people feeling like the world is changing in a negative way. And the rankings of their ranking is dropping, right? Yeah, they feel like their ranking is dropping. This is one of the things on the list, actually. Maybe not top five, but of the things, there's a lot of bitter guys that are like, what, Asian guys are having a moment? Or like, what Asian guys are having a moment? They don't deserve that moment. Right. They don't deserve it. Like, why do girls like them? And it's like, dang man, like, all right. You know what I mean? Like- Right, Qing Cheng Wing Wing is having his day to them. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's just something that you're going to have to deal with and we're going to see more. So I wouldn't say, don't let it bother you as much because it's mostly internet stuff. I really don't see it in person as much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I said, like I said, man, Sony keep developing the Xperia, Samsung keep working on the S23 Ultra Chinese brands, keep doing your thing, all the other brands. I want to see a Vintec come up too. That's a car. Just keep developing your whips. VinFast. You're VinFast. I'm sorry. VinFast keep putting the money into R&D, just doing the things you need to do to execute. I mean, ultimately for me, this is my takeaway. It's agitation. The agitation, like you said, Andrew is causing cognitive dissonance. Some people thought that the old ranking of Qing Cheng, Ping Weng, Wing Weng was going to be low forever. Yeah, it's going to be locked in forever. That's what you thought. But it's rising and some people is rocking with it and some people are not rocking with it. And the people are not rocking with it. Maybe they need to look at themselves or they're just like, you know what I mean? Like just everything's changing on them and they can't take it and they're being negative. Yeah. So, hey, listen guys, trust me, if you lived in LA or New York, you've seen this couple. Right, right, right. Anyways, let us know what you think in the comments section below. Keep it civil. We encourage the argument. Is it right? Is it wrong? How should people deal with it? Or is it just, is what it is? Is it just a changing thing that, you know, different people position differently in society or dealing with differently? Let us know. Until next time with the Hot Pop Boys, we out. Peace.


Celebrity that's out there wants to be project, program manager. It really comes down to three fundamentals. And a lot of you probably have already heard of this before, project trying, scope, schedule, cost. Scope, schedule, cost, project triangle. It's really important as you step into looking at those three things, you know, what are we really talking about? Well, project management makes a lot of people think, or at least it does for myself, management is about doing things right. And we're going to really quickly load into this leadership because a lot of what gets talked about, especially with the engineering career coaches, is leadership aspects and getting that into engineering. So if you're a project manager, where does the leadership piece become? Well, I would say that it comes into the scope aspect of it. That's where the opportunity for you as a project manager to actually be a leader can be put to the forefront. Now, if you can understand the scope of the project, the work that you're going to be doing, and understand that to detail, you can help to lead the entire project team as they move through developing the costs and the schedule associated with that project. That's going to be the same whether you're in the construction industry, when you're working as an engineer, within a construction contractor, or an engineering company that's perhaps maybe involved in design build, or if you're in a true engineering firm that's truly just doing the design work. Regardless of whatever it is, there's a project and that project's got a scope. And the project needs a leader who understands what that scope is so that you can then unpack the cost and the schedule and manage those effectively for your client. To wrap it all up into one succinct thought here. Projects have scope, they've got a cost, and they've got a schedule. The leadership piece is going to be packaged around scope. Understand that, and then the management of schedule and cost are going to flow a lot easier.


is economics of education. So economics of education, usually we mean those issues of education which are directly and directly related to economics. For example, when you have educational development, it leads to social development, it leads to economic development. So when we discuss the relationship between educational development with economic development, this becomes a part of the economic education. Similarly, when you go for the educational training or higher education, your efficiency is increased. So it is economic efficiency. So that is also part of the economic education. When educational development or imparting of higher education leads to improvement in efficiency of a person, then that is also part of the economic education. If we can bring about equity distribution in the society, or we can say distributed justice in the society through educational development, that also brings out the economic education. That is because distribution of income and wealth is a part of economics. Similarly, when you go for the main power planning or education that is related to the educational planning. So the basic problem I will discuss in detail, the basic problem in today's society is the problem of unemployment, basically educated unemployment problem. And this is because of, basically we do not have any educational planning, we do not have any main power planning. So this main power planning is a part of the economic decision making process. That is also I just plan to discuss here in the economic education. Finally, the financing of education, this is also part of the economic education. So these are the broad five areas which I will discuss in this particular, two three classes. There are number of studies and which indicate that if there is an educational development, particularly improvement in the educational training of persons, it leads to economic development of the country. And regarding that, there was a professor from America, his name is Professor Dhanishan. He made a study in the American economy and he tried to find out what is the relationship between educational development and economic development. Educational development in the sense of improvement in quality of education. It is not the horizontal expansion, not only the horizontal and vertical expansion, it is the quality of education. When there is improvement in quality, Dhanishan found out that it leads to improvement in the part of the income of the country, gross domestic product of the country. The income of the country is improved, it is the improvement in the quality of education. For example, suppose if you have more engineers, if you have more technologists, if you have to say a person with a high degree of training, then definitely the efficiency increases, productivity increases. And this leads to improving income of the country. So that he found out with his survey that he found out that 23 percent of the national income of USA increased because of improvement in quality of educational training. So these indicate that educational development, then there will be improvement in income generation and the GDP of the country. There was a great economist, Adam Smith. In 1976, he wrote a book, Wealth of Nations. And there he mentioned the human being as an efficient machine. So in the sense that if the quality of the human being could be improved, then just like an efficient machine, the productivity of the country will also increase. So he predicted long back more than 225 years back. And so whatever the propagation made by Adam Smith, whatever the empirical finding made by Professor Denishan, it indicates that when there is an improvement in quality of education, there will be improvement in the national income of the economy, then there will be improvement in GDP, and there will be improvement in the economy. Just to justify that particular point, I take this particular table that there are three types of country I have selected that are related to 2005 World Development Report. So based on this report, the World Bank has classified the country into three groups. Low-income nation, middle-income nation, high-income nation. And those countries are called low-income nation. The per capita income is less than $5,000. $5,000, it is called PPP dollar. I just tell you, the per capita income in India as of today in 2006, 2007, it was $3,400, $6,000. And this is called PPP dollar. Extra dollar is less than that. But PPP dollar is there compared to the purchasing power parity. With $1,45, whatever you can purchase in the air, the same one dollar, you cannot get the average in New K or in USA. You need $3 there. So $1 is equivalent to $3. So actually this purchasing power parity means it is all internationally measured value of dollar. Actually our income may be $1,500. But in compared to the cost of living, cost of living in USA or Japan or any other country, then actually it is equivalent to $3,470. Now this is what is actually PPP per capita income in PPP US dollar. Now those low-income nations are those nations. Basically they belong to the country like the South Asian countries, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, all the South Asian countries and most of the African countries and a few South American countries. They belong to this particular group of countries. So this is called low-income nations. And the middle income nations are those countries like most of the countries of Southeast Asia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, even Korea, North Korea, South Korea. So these are the countries, then some of the countries of Middle East. Not all, but many countries belong to the middle income nations. Then many countries in South America and South Africa. South Africa is not a developed country but the middle income nations. So these are the countries which belong to the middle income nations. And the high income nations, obviously USA, UK, Japan, Australia, Canada, these are the countries and most of the European countries. So these are the countries belonging to the high income nations. Now you just have a look at these particular people. These are the average income, the low income nations, middle income nations and high income nations. These are not my statistics. These are the statistics of the world level of report. If you are in the world bank. Now just imagine where we stand today. Our per capita income is 340 and Sinus per capita income is 6600. Sinus. And Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka is 4570. I am just giving the Indian subcontinent. Pakistan is 2050 and Bangladesh is 2090. Now where do you stand? Compared to Sinus we are almost half. So the standard of living is almost half of that of Sinus. Even 50% lower than the Sri Lanka. Now compared to the high income nations, 10 times their per capita income is 10 times that of India. Now where do you stand? Just imagine. We have a lot of planning for the last 50, 60 years. So many schemes are adopted by the government. In spite of that, in spite of that, see the position we are having today. We are staying in the urban area. We do not know the poverty in the rural area. The actual poverty cannot measure in terms of the standard of living in the urban area. Now at the same time, you just see when you talk about educational development, many things come. One is that general literacy rate, adult literacy rate, educational infrastructure. All these are constituting the educational development. But I am thinking just only one indicator. That indicator is the adult literacy rate. And the country where the per capita income is low, low income nation, $246 per year. And the literacy rate is 62%. And the slightly improved country, like middle income nations, where per capita income is 7195, then the adult literacy rate is 90%. And the high income nation, socially, economically, technologically developed, per capita income is about $32,000, $33,000. Then the adult literacy rate is almost 99%, almost 100%. All are almost literate. So just see that there is a relationship between these two. When you have higher income, you can provide better educational facilities. So education development is high. You have better literacy rate. You have better higher, better adult literacy rate. So this indicates that there is a close relationship between these two.
