So hello wherever you are in the world and welcome to this discussion of how to shape post pandemic politics. I think he's pretty well the biggest question we are now confronted with collectively and in our individual countries. So, I would like to, first of all to introduce our three panelists who are, I think wonderfully balanced group, who will take us into this discussion. First, David Rubenstein, who is the co-founder and co-executive chairman of the Carlisle Group, one of the world's best known and most influential private equity groups. And second, Lisa John Berner, who's joining us from South Africa, who is the secretary general of Civicus, which is the world alliance for citizen participation, very appropriate. And finally, Nara Woods, who's the Dean of the Blavatnik School of Government at Oxford and renowned expert on multilateral institutions, both politically and economically. Let me just start off by introducing what I think of as the themes of this discussion. And the question is, so what has COVID-19 done to change our world? What is it pointed out to us about our world? And I would say, first of all, that this has been in very important ways a unique event. Of course, the world has experienced many pandemics, far worse in terms of the fatalities. But the way we've responded, the choice to close down our economies to protect lives, the speed with which science responded, and the scale of the economic decline, all these things are really as far as we can know unique to an extraordinary event. But what has it done to our societies and to our politics? And I think the most striking things to me very briefly are the following. It has had very unequal economic effects within our countries, with the biggest losses in terms of lives on the old, but in terms of the economy on falling on women, ethnic minorities, and the less skilled. So it tends tended very powerfully to exacerbate existing inequalities and to clarify them. Second, it has revealed very starkly where government works and where it doesn't, and where the public trust government and where it doesn't. And that's not necessarily, as it turns out, really correlated with the standard indicators of economic development, wealth, and so forth. And finally, I think very clearly showed a high level of global dysfunction in our ability to cooperate and manage the health and economic consequences of this crisis so it's an immensely challenging and also revealing event. Let's to launch our discussion of where we need to go after this crisis. Let me start with you, David. Could you talk a bit about the story and the challenges as you see them in the United States, which has had of course, an extraordinary story in the last year or so and particularly in the last few months now a new administration with a very different personnel. What are the challenges you see, and do you think they can handle it. The challenges in the United States, I'd say are several fold. One, you have to deal with the COVID-19 we have a large population relatively speaking, but we still have vaccinated relatively small percentage. The current president inherited was a system that should be applauded in one respect developing a vaccine in less than a year is never is unprecedented, but the system did not work so well in getting it distributed. So number one priority for the president is make sure we have a way of vaccinating most of our population so we have herd immunity as quickly as possible. Second is a propping up the economy. Because the economy is not working at full strength, we have to prop it up. We've done that already with about two trillion plus of extra dollars coming into the economic system from the federal government. We'll have to probably put in another one and a half trillion or so without that the economy would really be in trouble. So getting that through the Congress is another issue. And then the basically new president has to reassert himself around the world. I think he's inherited things that he thinks are real problems, and he has to make it clear to people that it's a different day in the United States and we're going to do things differently. That's what his perspective is. The most important lesson I think we've learned so far in the United States is that this is a life that is going to be changed forever. It's very common to say, oh, this is a big event and now the world's going to change, but it rarely does. But it has changed here in a rapid period of time. The industrial revolution took 100 years to change the world, make the world work. The internet changed the world in maybe 20 years or so. Smartphone in maybe seven years or so. In one year, we've changed the way we live and work and think and relate to each other. And I don't think it's going to go back so anytime soon. We've also learned in the United States and we've seen around the world that the difference as you suggested Martin between the haves and the haves not is getting greater.  If you're if you have worked blue collar worker you're unemployed you don't have enough food to feed your family you're living paycheck to paycheck. You're worse off than you were before, and it's going to take a long time to fix that problem. And that's a big challenge for the new president, and even the new stimulus bill is not going to solve that problem. That just to keep us at reasonably good economic level it's not going to solve the income inequality problem that's been exacerbated. So well let's get back to those questions later but I'd like to turn to you Lisa if I may. You have a very obviously very different perspective living in South Africa with your background in India and in civil society. So what does getting rebuilding after this really traumatic experience which we're not through of course crucially, certainly not in South Africa I believe. What does that mean to you what are the challenges and what do you want to see the world doing. I think it's very tempting to think of 2020 as a catalytic moment or a kind of a tipping point or a pivotal kind of moment in history where suddenly things are going to change but this actually follows on from an entire decade of content over the last 10 years we've seen the scale of protests of you know organized or unorganized movements across the world grow systematically and in a very, very sustained way so the organization I work with for instance we spent all of our time looking at how people recognize themselves and claim their rights right and it was very apparent even in 2019 that the world was actually on on a journey of a real head on clash of powers right between you know the institutions and and the people who hold formal power and the large vast kind of swads of population who have just been disenfranchised from the economic and political systems. So in a way the pandemic came at a time where it in a way stopped some of these really strong you know expressions of agitation and unhappiness in its track but then it just resumed again you know midway through the year you saw people you know kind of completely you know fed up with systems fed up with rules fed up with institutions and just having nothing to lose because there's just so much anger and and you know discontent just reading out of all all spaces across the globe I think what the pandemic did really well was it connected all of these different localized. You know, you know agitations or movements or on happiness with how things were being run in a very, very fast and fast way and kind of fuse those energies and efforts very much together so the next few years and definitely the coming decade really is going to be the decade of impatience and I think people have just had it with waiting for you know institutions to pick themselves up and figure out what needs what needs to be done but more so. I think we're at the state where a quarter of the world's population currently lives in context where they're simply not allowed to exercise the civic freedoms. And that's, that's just mind boggling because you would assume that if governments were facing angry mobs of people the most sensible thing to do would be actually to open forums for dialogue right and to actually find more sustainable ways to engage with that. So I think we're just going to see much worse in the coming years in terms of the friction unless of course governments and businesses learn to do things differently and are more transparent and open and how they engage communities. So let's come back to that too to the extent we can in the time available. So how does it look to you Nari from your perspective, how might the shock of the pandemic and its consequences, economic, social, political, change the world. And will it be actually for the better or as I rather fear for the worse. Well, my colleagues on this panel have talked about the, the downside of COVID the fear the, the nationalism that's being fueled the unrest that's being fueled, which can certainly there's a scenario in which that makes it more difficult to cooperate and makes it more difficult to control the pandemic which fuels more nationalism, which takes the world into a grim place just before we began Martin you said, Can we sustain any cooperation at all, I'm going to say yes, we can. And I want to recall from history that international cooperation has been possible, even among the bitterest of enemies. And it's that international cooperation, which can take us on a virtuous circle and make it more possible to deal with COVID COVID is like a war. It's like a war in the sense that huge debts are mounting up because countries have to use that money to fight COVID. And after the war, there's going to be a huge reconstruction job. And that makes it different to the financial crisis or to other global crises that many have faced in their lifetime. And for me, three areas of international cooperation will be vital. And I think there are reasons to be optimistic that they'll happen. The first is winning the war fighting the pandemic countries since 1851 have been painfully and carefully negotiating how to work together to fight pandemics. Is it perfect? No, our country is going to use it for their political purposes. Yes, but we have an infrastructure which we're seeing move, certainly not at perfect speed certainly not in perfect unison, but it's an infrastructure that is working the way that the World Health Organization did notify countries of this virus. It's organizing around COVAX. It's bringing together the research. That's the first area. The second area is money. The world is going to have to rebuild after COVID. And in this very low interest rate environment, there are a core of countries at the center of the world that can use their credit as status to make it possible for all countries to grow out of this crisis. And as my as Martin in particular knows extremely well, we have institutions that make that possible, like the IMF, the World Bank and regional development banks that can pull credit and guarantees. Do we need to work them much harder? Absolutely. Should they be moving faster already? Absolutely. Interestingly, though, the problem isn't that we don't have institutions. It's actually a mindset. We have all lived through decades of economic policymaking, which has the austerity mindset that says when you're in a crisis, tighten your belt and give confidence to the markets. We're entering an era I think the world hasn't seen since the end of the Second World War, which is to throw away the austerity playbook and to pull out an investment playbook. The problem is that there's almost nobody in any government or international institution that's ever done that. They've all been raised on the austerity playbook and they're going to have to shift their minds to take up this new challenge. And last, but I won't say anything more about it, is humanitarian relief after the Second World War, the careful building of United Nations institutions that definitely need reform, that definitely need made to work better. But both China and the United States are cooperating in those institutions. China cares so much about them that it has competed and won the leadership of four of them. We can stand back and say, well, this is just mechanicalism and a power play. Of course, international relations always is, but the fact remains that the institutions are there and cooperation can proceed. So I'm going to start with a resounding note of cautious optimism. Well, that's a very good place to start. So let's follow up in time we've got available. David, I think, actually Lisa and Mary have in their way though that very different perspectives, sort of clarified the challenge facing the US in the world, the US in the world, the longest accepted leader, because one of the things that we've seen in the last year in the US is first, I mean really very powerful, there are great protests from both wings of your politics. You saw it in the protests over the summer on round the Black Lives Matter movement. And of course you saw it after the election with culminating in the, I suppose the invasion of the capital, I don't know what term you use, coming from the right. It seemed to indicate a profoundly divided country with very strong popular anger, which is sort of what Lisa was talking about, and I would say from both wings. When they're emerged from this at the end of this, a new president who one think of as almost an archetypally centrist, a believer in the center, and a believer in bringing people together within the framework of a technocratic policy that has been oriented to recreate the sort of global functioning order that the US both created and operated and led for so long. So that seems to me where we are. What does the center hold? What does the center need to do to convince these extremes, which are obviously very, very powerful, that they have a political future which will work for them, and which will also allow the leadership to participate in the world? Well, since World War II, the United States has been pretty much the undisputed global leader in so many areas, the economy and intellectual kinds of things and technology, so many different areas, and also in, I would say, in certain types of governance. The last four years have changed the world's view of the United States in many respects. We weren't seen by some as as good an ally as we have once been. I think we lost some of our global leadership to China as a result of their being willing to fill a gap that we no longer were willing to fulfill. And the question now is, can the United States regain the image you once had? People around the world were horrified at the events of January 6th. That's the kind of things you would see in different kinds of countries. Nobody expected that kind of thing in the United States. So that image is in everybody's minds and they're going to remember that for quite some time. President Biden has to say this time is different in the sense that I am not my predecessor. I'm going to go back to what we did for many years after World War II, be a global leader and make certain that we and who care about democracy make certain those values continue. At the moment, the country is very, very divided, very, very divided. And I don't see anybody, including the president, able to fix this problem immediately. It's going to take some time. He's got to gain credibility. He's got to get a couple victories under his belt, and he's got to become a spokesman for democracy and democratic values and reconciliation in ways that may be very difficult to do. So we have some challenges in the United States for certain, but when all of this is said and done, I suspect the biggest winner out of the last of his events of the last year or so is probably going to be China because China really survived the COVID much better than other countries did. It's economy continues to grow. It's financial might continues to grow. And at some point there's a passing of the torch to China, perhaps from the United States if we're not able to get our act together and China will be the dominant country in the world for some time if we can't do the kind of things that I suggest President Biden needs to do. Hopefully he'll be able to do that. I'm going to turn turn. Obviously, there are points there, Nari, which are very relevant to you and your perspective. And I want to go to the US China question with you. But Lisa, I'd like to talk to you first, because I recognize fully both the range of popular protests and across the world. But it seems to me, if we're looking at the future, it's a it's quite a complicated and picture on several on at least two dimensions. I could go many, many more but one is, we are seeing in many countries, the, you know, popular rage coming from what I would broadly describe as the egalitarian left the desire for participation extension of human rights treatment of everybody equally. I think that's from my hearing what I heard from you what where you come from, but it's pretty obvious there's also a very powerful nativist. Sometimes let's be brutal racist, authoritarian, form of populism, and you can see lots of countries led by rulers like that, and, and still are. So, the question I have is, how do you. How do we bring about a politics in which these immense pressures that you describe from dissatisfied people can be can be married with reasonably stable governmental operations. And I think that's something of course is I want to follow on what David said, you know, sort of the great power of the world now the great rising power of the world is China, and it's interest in allowing popular participation the type you advocate is as far as I would say a very large and negative number. Doesn't that disturb you. So two things to that. I think one, it's, it's really fundamental for us to realize that, you know, the organizing we're seeing on the streets, these aren't flash points of, you know, mobilization they're not just short term mobilizations their issues that have been consistently, you know, enabling people to, to connect to kind of get activated to to call for so for much larger and much deeper transformative shifts in their countries or in in a larger context so when governments treat citizens protest or civic actions as something that can kind of just be quickly swept away or, or repressed or closed down or we just you know shut down the internet and it's just going to, I mean they're just going to wish these, these kind of struggles away that's not happening anymore. And what we're seeing is that the level at which people are organizing is not only now being a huge challenge for governments but also for big businesses and, and what we saw earlier this year for I mean earlier this month. You know with with some of the big tech kind of issues and questions. I mean people now aren't really in a position where you can, they can easily be swayed by one set of propaganda or the other because the access to information the access to, you know, what's happening across the world the access to strategies to organize and mobilize is much much higher than any generation before this point. And even if you are, you know that strongest economic power in the world you're still going to have to be very very careful about how you're actually treating issues of democracy how you're actually treating issues of rights. We know the Hong Kong protests have been on for for you for several years now and it's a continuing pain point and it's driven by the passion of a lot of young people and a lot of people who really believe in democracy as a value I mean what are they gaining from risking live and limb and health and so much else in terms of organizing for this and for civil society organizations this is kind of where beyond anything we could ever dream to because there isn't a central organization there isn't a central philosophy there isn't a central machinery. It's really people going with their gut on what economic and social justice actually means and and the call for a fairer world for more transparent systems of how resources and decision making and power is organized. And that's not something any one government or several governments can undo at any given point of time and that's why you know the conversation we're having on stronger multilateral institutions and stronger rules of how governments play fair and play the game of actually representing people across the spectrum is going to be so fundamental to how you know the discourse on politics and people are will evolve in the next few years. Mary can I just, I think they've these these two sets of remarks where David and Lisa sort of clarifying important ways this sort of global challenge. Because the first set of questions is domestic legitimacy for politics and policy, and it's pretty clear that in many countries of the world with very different systems. So the question of the legitimacy of the political order and of political power and economic power has become really potent, not everywhere but, and that of course limits what politicians can do globally and domestically and how do you reestablish legitimate order domestically and then that goes to the global side of what you're interested in because of course I'm very much in agreement with you on the importance of global cooperation. That's very difficult to do by governments that really don't have the confidence of their citizens and you can see that across the board on trade and economic policy and vaccine nationalism and all the rest of it. There's another dimension which has also come out of this which David's remarks really brought out, which is, we're in a new world. We have this huge rising power, very different ideologically from what Lisa was talking about. It has to be done non-western, in every possible way. And it has to cooperate fully in this system because we can't make it work otherwise and there's so much suspicion of it. Can we really manage these two, these two very interrelated challenges successfully. Yes, we can and I think we really do need to pay heed to history. Think of that moment in the 40s when having, you know, been so victorious in the Second World War Churchill comes back to present Britain with his vision for Britain. And the Brits say no, actually, we don't want you, we'll vote for Atlee. And why do they do that? Because just as coming out of COVID, after the Second World War people came out of that period, as David and Ilza and you have all said, with so little, with a desperate desire to have security in their own yard, security in their own front door before they saw security across the world. And so the Churchillian project, which was a project that many, that would seem more familiar to most people today, was quickly swept aside with a different project which was to rebuild schools, the infrastructure, the nation in ways that we might, you know, not want to repeat today, but that was the project. And I think that my point about international cooperation is that leaders and governments across the world are going to have to collaborate with their business partners first to build a new set of opportunities for their own people and to do that hand in hand with international cooperation. We did it in the 40s and 50s in an extraordinary way, building cooperation, even in a world completely split with nuclear weapons. And I think we can do it now today as well. I think I've got one more minute, so I'm supposed to close it, I'm afraid. We've had a taster. I know you all want to keep going, but I'm afraid it's only half an hour. We have a taster of the issues. And all I would say is, I think this is very clearly, it comes out from all these perspectives, one of the most challenging moments in world politics, we're going through a transformation domestically and globally. And I believe that we would all agree that we probably disagree on a lot else, but we'd all agree that the decisions that are going to be taken in the next few years by governments across the world and particularly major powers will determine the nature of our world in a very profound way. It's one of those moments when you make or remake, remake or unmake the world order and the domestic political order. And I think the discussion has illuminated that in very, very helpful ways. So thank you very much to the panelists. Thank you for participating. I've found it very enjoyable to listen to you. And let's hope it all ends well. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you.


Ragnar Lothric lies dead in the Northumbrian dirt. Veins choked with Anglo-Saxon Roth and Viper's venom. Revenge was swift. His sons laid waste to the British Isles, splintering the land and slaughtering all who opposed them. The Viking Horde swept west, an insatiable force that brought Alfred the Great to his knees. But some men can only be pushed so far. It's now 878 AD, whilst Norsemen settle land they once preached. Alfred of Wessex seeks to unite the Isles under one banner, and here stand a new wave of the ambitious at hunger. Ready to stake their claim to Britannia. Things will rise. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 9. 10. 11. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 19. 19. 19. 20. 21. 22. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 27. 28. 29. 29. 29. 29. 30. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 39. 40. 41. 41. 41. 41. 41. 42. 41. 42. 41. 43. 42. 44. 45. 46. 47. 49. 49. 49. 50. 51. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 56. 56. 57. 58. 59. 59. 60. 60. 60. 51. 51. 52. 51. 52. 52. 51. 51. 52. 52. 51. 52. 52. 52. 52.toi. 52. 52. 50. 50. 61. 62. grandfather Tanipan or Naruto Japan. 62. 52. 54. 54. 54. 54. 55. 55. 55. 56. 61. 51. 51. 52. 51. nurse samuel verse 25. 52. 51. 52. Part-time soldiers, pledged to leave their farms for military service each year, can recruit live units based on number of owned settlements. And then we have 50% plus commander's aura. Alright, that seems cool. I suppose we can read through this little faction information too, because after all the charm with these games is the historical context. After decades of Viking raids, the West Saxon succession passed from brother to brother down to Alfred, whose temperament some say was best suited to a life of piety and learning. However, having defeated the Vikings in battle, he now negotiated for a lasting peace. Unfortunately, the Vikings renegade and their raids have since intensified, even driving the West Saxon king from his capital for a while. Naturally, Alfred is preparing to fight back. So that's the starting position for the West Saxons right there. And quite cool map, so we will go into the actual campaign map after we've read the other factions. Aha, you can choose here Mercia as well. The men have trained for this, and they have also the same cultural features, a few different faction features that are special to Mercia, or Mercia perhaps you pronounce it as. Once the greatest Anglo-Saxon kingdom in Britannia, Mercia has fallen on hard times. The glory days of Offa and Penda are long gone, and the Vikings have a next match of Mercia's eastern territory, while the Welsh threaten from the West. Mercia's recent rulers have been accused both of hiding behind the West Saxon skirts and of using Mercia's dwindling riches to appease the Vikings. Seovol walks a difficult path, but pride still burns in his people's hearts. Alright, they are in a bit of a predicament there, if you look at the map, stuck between a rock at a hard place. Having looked at the Welsh kingdoms, we have two Gwynedd and Stratklut for the glory of the Cymru. And we look at the cultural features, heroism. Wales is a land of heroes, earned heroism by winning battles, owning Welsh land and ranking up generals to gain bonuses. Alright, that's a cool feature, definitely indeed, then 50% charge for cavalry units and unit morale plus 5 in your own regions. The people of Gwynedd have some claim to the title of True Britons, having been driven to the Far West by invaders, who now call themselves English. Renowned both for their bardic arts and their skill with a longbow, the Welsh of Gwynedd thrived under the leadership of Rudri Mavre. Not sure how to pronounce that, but hopefully I got it right. Rudri kept Gwynedd largely free of Vikings and other invaders while expanding its borders. Now he is gone and his lands are divided. Can Anarout live up to his father's legacy? It remains to be seen. And the Stratklut... We will serve you well! Are all the way up there, in good old Scotland, it looks like, or perhaps by the border. Stratklut is a kingdom of the Old North, and while much of Northern Britannia was ravaged by invaders or infighting, it has stood firm. Whether run Stratklut's new king can resist the Vikings remains to be seen. His father died in mysterious circumstances and run has been fighting a rearguard action ever since raiders from Dyfflyn, Dublin, besieged his stronghold and carried off his family as hostages. However, they may have pushed him too far. Alright, a bit of a bad situation there and an initial challenge hard for him. We have Gaelic Kingdoms, Citizen, that has Highland-Scots then. Citizen is a land of misty hills and open moors. Its folk a mixture of gales, Picts and others driven to the edges of Britannia by invaders. So far however they have resisted the Viking incursions. No one, the capital of Citizen, was once home to the legendary Stone of Destiny, said to bestow divine strength. I had Citizen's new king will need all the strength and divine support he can, not just against the Vikings but to face potential threats closer to home. Alright sounds epic enough and the Stone of Destiny if I am not completely mistaken that was actually stolen back to Scotland by some Scottish nationalists just a few decades ago. It was kept in London since the middle ages I suppose. But it has since been returned to England yet again if I am not completely mistaken. Anyway we will look at the east angle and then we will head on into the campaign itself to have a look at the game. Many of the cultural features, great Viking army, income plus 200% from raiding and sacking and plus 6 melee skill for all units when in enemy territory so good for raiding I suppose. And here king, the king of the Danes here in Britannia must play a delicate game to stay at the top. Find the balance between appeasing the English and your army. Then Guthrum's will, the king of the Danelaw and the Danelaw is the Danish or Viking occupied territory in England. The king of the Danelaw rewards those who raid and conquer in his name, get missions to fight in unique rewards for your aggression. Then they have a very strong axe infantry and a good balance of other infantry units, has axes to burst circles and powerful Anglian champions. Alright that sounds epic, then you also have plus 50 in reinforcement range. And the faction information, since killing Edmund the last Anglian king nearly a decade ago the Vikings have made themselves at home in East Anglia. Now Guthrum not content with his easten holdings has ambitions to become the most powerful Viking warlord in English territory. As well as making considerable inroads into Mercia and challenging the borders of Northumbria, he has raided as far as Wessex even hitting Alfred in his capital in a surprise attack. Guthrum is a man to watch. And we can also have a look at the Viking sea kings in Dublin, so they have expedition. The world is yours for the taking, send your ships to conquer new lands. Vikings ish enough I suppose and tribute. Other kingdoms pay tribute as a sign of their submission. Get tribute from other factions to gain bonuses. Immune to sea sickness and high sea attrition. And one last introduction here before we head into the game. The Vikings began staying on after the raids against Ireland about half a century ago. Dublin the settlement by the Black Pool soon became the most important of their well-defended coastal bases. Or Longfords housing the largest slave market in Britannia before succeeding his father to rule Dublin five years ago. Barther had already approved himself in numerous raids and skirmishes. Proved positive that those who crossed the Vikings of Dublin can expect no mercy. Alright cool. Let us head into the battle with Alfred and see what the crack is. Long have the Vikings raided our lands, but nothing prepared us for their great army. After a decade we fought them, the tide of battle ebbing back and forth, until finally they were defeated and their great army fled our lands. Now England lies divided, its old political order washed away. Too long have we fought amongst ourselves. Now is the time to unite, as England is divided, weakened from a decade of fighting. West Saxa has suffered greatly, but its star is on the rise. It is your fate to bring order back to these lands. You have vassals under your protection who are sworn to aid you in time of war. They are Gwent and Gluisig to your north west, Deffen and Cernu to your west and Seuth, Saxa and Kent to the east. It is important to maintain good relations with your vassals. If you do not they may choose to break your treaty rather than join your war. Rumours abound of new Viking incursions in the south. You will need to build up your defences there to make sure you are not caught off guard when they strike.  Dealing with this threat promptly will bring much needed stability to your lands. Alright an epic intro and some wisdom from this wise woman here. So I really like the art here as well, looks comfy and good, aesthetically pleasing. So we have gotten a mission to defeat this rebel army and we have a army there to handle that threat. So yeah the map itself looks quite a bit like Attila, I like that because it was a good map and we start with quite a bit of settlements here. Since I have mainly been playing Warhammer Total War where you basically start with one settlement in each campaign this is a bit different and you have also something that we didn't have in Warhammer Total War is the food production. So you have units consuming 110 but you also have some income there, look at the diplomacy see the other factions and yes it's a quite big map actually quite detailed map with a lot of different factions as you can see in the list here. Yeah that's quite a few, quite a few factions indeed but yeah this is basically what the map looks like and the starting position for Alfred's Wessex. We will illuminate these heretics so that we can get a good look at how the battle is looking so we're just gonna get straight into it. Alright let us start the battle, here we can see the various characteristics so 29, same age as yours truly, command 6, governance 2, seal 4 and we are having the roughly the same amount of troops, alright we can choose the weather conditions and I don't really want to fight in the rain so we'll wait and see, no still rain, wait again, fog, can see if we can get some sun maybe, okay dry that's good. Alright mate but we can actually do that as we go so what do we have here, we have some archers and we have some archers here too. Here we have horsemen and that means that our spearmen will have to be in close proximity so they can counter the horsemen there. And here is Alfred and his royal companions and have a look at them, yeah they look highly aesthetic, so Oswald royal companions who want to get these lads at least, Carol Axeman, okay what I will do is I suppose simply try to engage these lads and keep this in at the flank, see if we can actually get some flanking action going on, let's see if we can actually get a charge in here, I suppose we can't really because they will counter with their royal companions but we can threaten them just a bit or utilize a hit and run tactic so we can lure them in. Alright I utilized a little edit there, tried to capture these horsemen and then we can send in the spearmen to illuminate them and then we also have some Carol spearmen coming in and gonna try to engage them as well there and we have broken their horsemen then it's just a matter of turning around and chasing down this archer brass and then we should have the battle in our hand. We can actually look at the aesthetics of it, the enemy general is dead, alright cool end battle there we go. I utilized some edits there as you might have understood and that's simply because I couldn't come up with insightful commentary during the entire time and again the point with taking this battle is to show a bit more about the game and when you have defeated them you can take on warriors, kill captives, right we're gonna take on these warriors, to glory and then another really aesthetic art scene comes up there so anyway that was the video for today, I thought to show this game for you all, I will not do a let's play series of this, I will probably do it on Kingdomcom Deliverance, but yeah that will be at a later moment so thank you for watching and I wish you a glorious rest of your day, xxo, buh.

Give me a little house. Give me a Ben's I'm gonna give me a Jimmy Blazer, but the money game just went so crazy.  This is my chance to just You know put us in a you know different different direction. So Like I used to like like do certain stuff all the time. So I get to the Arsenio Hall show He said man, we want you to do some I'm I like being different. I'm not coming in in no suit Right and talking. I wanted I want to wrap up my favorite rapper at the time was food schnickens So chip hollered at me He sent me the beat. I did a verse came down blazed verse.

I was like, you just practice them Red man's like that. Yes. So I'm I'm blessed to just have be able to to rhyme with my favorite I was cuz I'm gonna keep it all way a hundred and I hope I'm not disrespecting about it It wasn't enough money in that for me. Yeah. So my thing was it wasn't about being a rappers about just being able to get in They're right money to temporary and I got a and I was thinking about the other thing about the other. I got a hell of a discography All right. Well at the at it of at the job to know the names No, we won't get to that but at the job gave you the 10 million for three hours. What was the re-up? The re-up was I tried to I tried to go on my own because that's when Barry Start coming up First of all street rule number one, you mind your own This episode of me and I was worth a game is brought to you by course Seltzer core seltzer is your average seltzer rooted in cores a long history of sustainability Our brand was inspired by a generation to have once to do good in the world with a mission to restore America's rivers Core seltzer is launching the world's easiest voluntary program Whatever you're doing by simply cracking open a can of course seltzer.

Yeah, go ahead. My top five would be no specific order Shaq dame Lou Williams Yes, Williams go we missing some people. Um, yeah Only is a mind shumper But it's only rap is it only rap cuz you got to get to Dion in there Dion Sanders must be the money Man, you know that was a class Wasn't that many it was a lot bro, you know how many athletes rap. I don't know man. I was in the Iverson Colby uh It was in cool. It's a gang of them most of them right. They just don't put albums out I don't like to say he was that cuz cuz my thing. I wasn't trying to be look. I know I'm not the best rapper I know I ain't the worst rapper. I'm okay with being in the middle and then when you a team player, it's okay I got somebody better than me I know I don't get three in a row without Kobe. I know that but guess what I'm gonna do my part Right mean yeah, I'm gonna do my part Yeah, you did your elbowed it can be my tumble on his face got 45 and 25 You definitely did your part we went through the pain when you did your part now, but you know funny about that serious So he was defensive player here, and they didn't double me I take that as a sign of disrespect when you don't double me. It was a sign of disrespect. It was absolutely Because there was like a 50 pound difference one it okay I would listen. I'm 1500 no matter like if you don't double me.  You ain't gonna double and then boom boom And then you know just turn around and then you know all y'all casting Philly with all that Charlie Let me ask you a question What was the talk in that locker room after Chuck Bubba Chuck walked over Tyrone look the talk was We let one slip away. They ain't gonna win another Because we're trying because we're trying to be the only team that swept the whole playoffs Yeah, but we don't like doubling people either cuz because now when you double him all the mother cats get open Like we was like and we like okay AI you got 55 get 55 again He couldn't know he could but we just had to know we just had a different different mentality and and I had a better team and I wish you would have got one So had a better team. I wish you got one. I wish he would have got one Cuz you know why he's one of the greatest players ever and it's unfair for the haters to say well, you ain't got no ring You know what I mean? It is. Will you tell Chuck that all the time?  What's that?  You know, yeah, she's gonna be here Mona She gonna call it okay, that's all right So shit so Shaq let me say this right To all the up-and-coming youngins not even just playing sports to the up-and-coming youngins that's trying to be something in life because You really came out the gutter and you got real Businesses real businesses like real businesses like we went to one of your restaurants I had dinner and it's like the whole almost a strip was like the corner block was yours and like What advice could you get a youth whether it's a female that's trying to start a clothing line a young boy That's trying to go to the league or the NFL war, you know Whatever you could give them as far as business wise that they could use in a journey coming up in life One you have to educate yourself Now when I say education, they know always about go to school right we come from the same place I mean people we see do something on the corner We educate ourself and we do a little better right a little bigger right right educate yourself right learn ask questions second thing is watch There's so much information going on right now you can watch Like me I watch people's mistakes My father who was a military drill sergeant I'm glad he did what he did every time my athlete did something crazy.  So my dumbass thinking bro. I don't mess with coke. I mess with Pepsi Like when he was grabbing me and you know after he touched me up we went and we watched it. He was like look at this Go on brother could have been the number one pick you could have used it So he was like if you ever do something that I'm gonna kill you so it's not that I'm smart on everybody I just watch right I ask questions and you listen and I listen. That's that's that's the key So I I got my first business before I got my my master's Business administration right I did that I went to the bookstore and bought a book the dummies guy to start your own business And anytime I didn't understand I asked somebody my man What's the sub chapter as corporation man? You get that man and all this studio stuff and the phone stuff You can write that off you get money back. So I'm I'm learning the game So we just we just need to keep continuing giving them the answers to the test hopefully they listen but It really is easy cuz look I ain't the smallest cat in the world. I just sit back and watch Okay, that's how you do it Okay, Jordan got his own brand how I'm gonna get my brand right? Okay, Jordan did a JV with Nike joint ventureship. All right, Nike. I probably can't do no one like it as Adidas is Hello, mr. Reebok. My name is mr. Shack. I like to have a shoe. Sure. Oh, by the way, Jordan has jump man I already got dunk man already got it already got it. You know label and all that stuff. Let's do some we do it bam but now I'm like Cuz like I I like to put everything I do in street sense Right. So now Jordan moving way more bricks than I'm moving, right? So now I gotta switch up now.  It's a lot of kids. I can't afford these shoes.  I'm gonna do something on my own. I'm gonna go to places like Walmart and Target Give them a shoe 30 40 and now that's my lane, right. I'm the Pablo Escobar of that Yeah, Jordan got this So, you know people try to give me a lot of flak But it's something that needed to be done and then I figured out it ain't the fact that kids don't want to want to Wear $20 shoes. They don't want to shoot. They don't want to wear shoes that look like they cost $20, right? So I got some so I got some, you know, pretty cool You know some pretty hot designers never since I made that decision. I'm sold over 250 million pair And like I make a lot of people happy because I Couldn't afford your right. I tried to cut grass Jordan grown by the time I raised up the money. They only came with size 13 So I couldn't I couldn't aware but to answer your question all all the guy do is just educate themselves And again education always about going to school Because me and you we know a lot of cuts and they never went to school and they balling Absolutely balling and it's also about understanding your weaknesses.  If you're not educated the accountant can take it. They can beat you Take anything. I'm educated enough to go look at the books Okay, and my father instilled that of me because 70% of athletes when they done playing have nothing I didn't want to be there. So I'm like, hey man, what's happening? No, no, no, no, no. What is this? Oh, like and like I really had to learn business when I went platinum. Mm-hmm My check was weak You so hard copies did this this was hard No strings in the bootleg stuff. Then I'm like this check this ain't this one This ain't what I thought it was gonna be. So now when I open them books, they charge me for studio time Studio in my house, right? Me that back, right? It charged me for catering. No, no, no, my chef cooked the meals for Biggie Jay-Z and not so If I wouldn't educate enough to look at that I wouldn't be able to have my people call it bad. They got me out of so much But like after I open up the books and look at it. You got it. Oh, I'm like, no, no, no That's my studio, right? I'm paying the engineering, right? Oh, we miss him. No, no My boy makes it a matter already paid him separately. So So you just have to you know Educate yourself and you got to be up on your game all the way around the board and you have to turn that sensitivity button off So like when somebody say something about me before I go to 10, I listen He right Shack shitting the did I listen first like Before I go to 10 if there's any validity into it, I say, okay, and I won't respond but if you just Cloud chasing or trying to do what you do bumping at the gums. Then I got to respond.  Right. Let's be sitting back Why are you not talking? Uh-huh, and then all of a sudden you just hear I'll put in 50 million. I Put in 200 million Okay, that's how they do it Instead of coming out loud.  I learned that from from magic When I when I first got the LA magic is like man, it's cool being a man But at some point you want to start on the stuff. I know he's talking about But then after I got that book Start my favorite word in the book is joint venture ship joint venture ship. Like for example, I'm gonna do a podcast I'm gonna get this crew right here. Absolutely. I do have a podcast called big big podcast with check on our podcast one Just want to shut that out but and believe it. Yeah, but Instead of trying to do it myself just do a JV So so like when I had that record label, I left job, but I said I'll tell you what I'm still do business Y'all good to me distribution. That's it. Absolutely. That's all I did So and you and understand to the youth out there that he was able to do that because even through Him getting his $10 million him having to open the books up him doing all of those things catching them with They hand in a cookie jar. Yeah He still Kept it good business. Okay. I got cool at y'all. Okay cool. I got y'all y'all try to get one over on me. That's cool Now I just need y'all for distribution. That's it.  They just kept it moving handle business Took the sensitivity out of the business understand what he's saying. He took the sensitive out of it all the emotion out of it And then came back and got Distribution and killed him cuz I wish I could talk to some of these kids that have beef. I Could put them out. I would just sit down be that listen to where I think we got beef Now, let's go make a hop.  It mean you had beef.   Let's get to the money. That's the bottom line and if anything don't stop the money We don't need to be having it It hurts me when young brothers, I don't see him anymore like young brother got that that just That just hurts me. I wish I could say something, but you know street rule number one Mind your business, but like when I'm on these sites and I'd be seeing brothers getting popped That hurts me because I'm because you could be the next absolutely you could be the next I mean, what's sad about it is that is that It's almost like this generation that we got right now a young ins They almost made dying cool Like they glorify dying like Like I've never seen so many people like in my time Joke around about dying like that in this time. I'm always careful when I say This generation, yeah, and then let me tell you why My parents used to look at us crazy, too Absolutely, and we used to be crazy and we still did it our way. Absolutely. I could remember Mama bumping commoners, and then I'm on 98.7 kids not here that party people Don't get funky, right?  I know I just try to I just try to give them it but you are correct I just try to give them the information and for us. We don't push them away We just put that information out there to trigger like To for maybe one maybe two maybe a hundred maybe a thousand maybe ten thousand have a many of them watches might be like Glorified dying though and this is you got to put it on a mind for them to understand like What he just said it did make sense like I go to I go to my page and I got 11 RIP's up and I always tell them get the way you're trying to go Like if you get your first million I go for 10 You get 10 I'll go for 20 like this It's good to be to get old It's good to get I got a lot of stories It's good to get a lot and I can only tell them story because I'm old because you're old It's old. It's good to be able to you know say I did it this way And you know what how much is that autumn I'll pick in 250 give me two of them. All right. Oh speaking of I Got gifts. I know it's not your job, brother. You didn't ever go in the back. I got it Yeah, go in the back of car and get those two yellow boxes So I try not to I just try to I just try to give them answers to the test. Absolutely. It's magic in them gave me answers to the test Absolutely, it wasn't in my face. They wouldn't say hey, you don't need to be rapping. They just yeah Just a at some point you got to win championships big You know, you should know we wrap here, but at some point Right. I was like, you know what you're right. You're right. Get to that. So So that's what I try to do to you. Let me ask you a question on the basketball standpoint Do You think You maximized your talent? No, not at all People only got to see 25% of my game. Hmm. Damn. I'm honest before yonus As you know, I'm the first big cat to take that thing off the rim coast to coast with style.

No when it comes to the best I'm I'm hearing four or five names Absolutely, we don't have to dispute. Oh, no, no, no most dominant without coming up most down. I only hear two names I can't say you a wilt. But I mean, I can't say wilt because I never seen wilt play But those are only two names right here. And guess what?

So This ain't something I can't dj every day Like when I'm down or whatever whatever if I get that it just Because like because like when I used to do shows I used to have my shows already programmed like that ain't so now I got to look at the crowd. Yeah, okay So now you a real dj. Yes.  Let's blow a little homie over there with the braids.  No, no, no throw me the ball Throw me the ball or not I ain't buck look at him and until I get rollo or the one person I'm looking at to acknowledge me Yeah I ain't gonna let up so so okay, so let me ask you this question as far as What's the what's the craziest situation you ever had in a locker room? I don't have to I don't have to knock a couple people out Damn, they tried you No, it's just that You gotta realize it can only be one chief And this chief if we don't win it's gonna be my fault right I accept that right But I need you to do certain things Because everything has to to be in line right right And sometimes that works sometimes it didn't So couple couple cats I had to I had to touch up let them know was you as bad as Mike? Probably So so so pretty much Probably who you knock out Shaq He's talking He like uh, yeah, I don't want to do that Stanley Roberts when we was back But But even with young fella I knew that once you get him mad. He's gonna be like me.   Well, listen, I did eight years. I played with him One off game ain't nothing to talk about. Uh, but I knew if I round him up And guess what? He knew the same thing. Oh and that worked to our favor Like people always say, what would you do different and I had to say nothing And y'all brothers how many times brothers came to blues because I know it had to happen But guess what the disrespect was never lost right because I always tell people okay Y'all think we had beef, right? I thought one of the first championship who ran and jumped the moms Yeah When when he spread spring this angle couldn't walk from the bus to locker room who carried him All right, like I got a little brother cousin. We do this all the time. Absolutely. That's that's life So so people always say, what would you do different? I wouldn't do nothing different because we won three out of four Right. I ain't the smartest guy, but that's 75 percent. Absolutely. Hey, that's uh, give me a piece of paper You remember you don't know Keep that but you got you got I got a question though If y'all stay together for 10 years More that that couldn't happen and let me tell you why At some point the the student must get rid of the master to become the master So I understand the business That's what I'm saying. Like I'm able to just be like, okay, like look it was his turn to shine by absolutely He was tired of being Robin. It was his time to shine and then so, you know Look management like they like young people I was getting older, but they still owe me a bag It was like, okay, we want to give you the bag But by the time the bag end up you're gonna be 39 40 We just want to be in the hole that deep right so they wanted to do something different And then again, you said too that you didn't work as hard as you was supposed to Do you think you and cove have a beef because of that? My thing is who I'm working on for Damn Yeah, like the way I the way I prepare is the way I prepare Right Like cove is a different animal. Yeah, and everybody's not on that type of that's what he do. That's what I do That's not what you do. I have to wake up make sure the baby's all right Make sure the business is going Then I work Then I'll play Some guys is work work work work work. I commend them for that, but I don't need to work work work work work work Work for who? Because one if like and then I've seen a lot of people that work work work work work with no heart that can't play All right my heart I could look at a cat and already say what I'm gonna do because when you play basketball Is you always got this guy on every team it looked good. He don't miss in practice. Yeah, you know I'm talking about he don't miss in practice out of the dan robinson played in college with me never missed He didn't miss in practice, but when the game started he didn't make nothing Everybody does something different. So you guys got one of the best podcasts, right? Adam been the other podcast they got the professional setup, right? I'm not saying that y'all stuff not professional right y'all stuff look better than so everybody work different Absolutely get the way they gotta go. Absolutely. I ain't working on nine hours of that for what for who? Our my thing was you got the average 28 big dog and the players you got average 40 Please can you please can you look in that camera? I want you to specifically talk to joel and b But I want you to talk to every big man in league, especially joel and b Then tell them that you are not a dominant center in the nba. If you don't average 28 points at least to talk to them. That's that's three jump hooks in one free throw quarter So we so we get on him on tnt a lot, right? And a lot of these youngsters think we'd be jumping on them But if they take the sensitivity button out, they know I'm giving them the answers to the test I'm sure I like that sensitivity, but I like that when I say you should be dominant, I'm not picking on you I'm just telling you if if somebody giving you the answers to the test.  I don't want you to be me Be better than me, right? You just want you to be Yes, because you have more skills be much when you get the ball in the post and you got somebody six five on you There's nothing to think about. I'm gonna tell you it's bc time Barbecue chicken. Yeah, that's it. So but I try to I try to talk to them and you ever been swept in the point me you ever been swept into playoffs Like like my first five six times I got swept you got swept. Yeah, and then I read a quote So I shouldn't feel that bad that we got swept last year. All right Last time I got swept my fraternity brother put his hand on my shoulder the best play in the world He said hey man before you succeed you must first learn to fail because jordan. He was getting his his hands with Yeah, jordan told me that after our olando I mean after we after we beat them to get before went to the finals and then they came back next year Then they came back. Yeah, he told me that and I was the summer that I decided to go to l.a So it happens, but it can only make you stronger or make you weaker. All right. All right. Who you picking? You you rago ball you picking me a gill Oh, I gotta pick gill Like what kind of question is He ain't got no he let the penitentiary in fact he wasn't complete. He went to the neighborhood college, man No, I'm picking chauncey gill ups. Let me and let me tell you what I'm watching His page one day And he out there with some cat they betting He's shoot the three. He no he I think it's from half court. His foot was on the line Oh boy saw his foot was on the line. They argue a little bit gill grabs the ball against it. No I was I was right here and shot it and made it again And then he grabbed the ball two more times and shot the same shot and made it from half court That's chauncey gill up four times gill. What's the respect on my name?  No, I saw that too. Guess what he tried to run with. Yeah, what?  Yeah, I wouldn't let him do it. I wouldn't let him do it I wouldn't let him put no muscle on your neck. No, no So, you know, you know, he tried to come see he tried to come see where she killed low nil He never got a rebound one coast to coast and I'll use you though. So you can't use that No, that don't count anybody see that's about count That don't count. That's he played in the NFL. Yeah, that's me. Yeah, me. Yeah, that's him. Yeah, that's me. Yeah I said, look man, I know you'll be juggernaut, but was that story real?  It happened to you know What's funny when we first met back in the day in the club in New Orleans that joint was with me That was the show that I was messing with back then. That's crazy. It's a month I'm sorry to hear that.  He helped people make. Yeah I know he helped people make money We're on the proof. That's how he's shining too Hey, man, I'm up here with Shaq man. I gotta come correct on this motherfucker, man Do you have a new girlfriend now? No, I've been chilling, man I've been really focused on on on rebuilding, you know, a couple years ago. Like I said, I was in jail over The domestic violence situation. So I really refocused myself and went back into the community That's why I told you I had a lot of respect just watching what you do as far as giving back because that's really what I put I put a heavy focus on Just trying to empower and uplift the community with awareness and then the real estate game. So You know, we're talking about the wrong of proof. I'm heavy on teaching people just those steps to get paid in real estate And another thing I'll never do is I never looked down on brothers that make mistakes Like this man was just vulnerable and like I wouldn't ask what are you just vulnerable and they'll say why he went in So it's good that we always got a you know, uplift thing, you know, take care of yourself And that's what we do. He on this show. I'm proud of you brother. I understand people make mistakes I use it to really uplift other people because a lot of young brothers that they they get in relationships or whatever Something go left and they think the first thing they do is put their hands and connect on somebody And I had to learn the hard way that what it would have did to my life But you know, now I use that to empower and bring awareness to situations that we see daily believe that So man, we want to we want to send a big shout out to the big homie You got anything that you want to throw out there and let the people know Man, it's one. I love y'all too. I appreciate it man.

In March 2020, the land portfolio and the open data charter joined efforts to co-organize a workshop to identify core data types that should be considered for an effective land governance data framework. Following that, the process to design the first open up guide and land governance data was kicked off, and the first draft of the guide has been now produced with the financial support from GADZ. This work builds on past experiences from both organizations, such as the open up field guides from the open data charter or the land portfolio state of land information research pilots. So the guide builds on the strengths of both organizations and is a result of a win-win cooperation.
