G'day mate, 40 here. Got some pretty disturbing news on Twitter. All right, official say official say, so you better take it seriously. Surging Twitter anti-semitism unites fringe encourages violence. Who says this? Officials say. So you know that they're interested, pragmatic, non-ideological, just seeing reality for what it is. Online comments often lead to real-world actions social media experts warn. Okay, and what's the evidence for this? I'm really looking forward to seeing the evidence for this. Current and former federal officials. Whoa. Current and former federal officials say, what do you have to do to become an official? Like what sort of credentials do you need?  All right, both completely subjective categories. There's no objective definition of hate speech that would not include the Bible, for example. Disinformation in the eye of the observer. Disinformation about Jews and Twitter is uniting and popularizing some of the same extremists who have helped push people to engage in violent protests, including the January 6, 2021 attack on Congress. Well, the January 6 protestors didn't kill anyone. So you have the Black Lives Matter protests, which were responsible for thousands and thousands of murders, extra murders in the United States. So I'm just curious. Is a surge in hate speech about white people and disinformation about police? Did that unite and popularize the same extremists who would go on to murder thousands of people in the United States? So officials are predicting that Twitter will contribute to more violence in the months ahead. So what do you think is going to cause the most violence in the months ahead? Right wing disinformation about Jews and online hate speech or the effects of Black Lives Matter and its elite allies who push, you know, burger's claims about structural racism in police force. So citing the proliferation of extreme content. So if it wasn't on Twitter, would people really have that part of the time finding it? Cleaning support for genocide or Nazis by celebrities with white followings? So Kanye West, right? As a Christian says he has to love everyone, including Hitler and Nazis, right? Really that's support for genocidal Nazis because he's taking the Christian approach that you need to love everyone. And the reemergence of QAnon, proselytizers and white nationalists. So can you look at the well over 10,000 people who've been murdered by Black Lives Matter, the massive increase in traffic deaths and pedestrian deaths that have been spurred by Black Lives Matter because police have dialed back on law enforcement.  Like a dozen, a few dozen? I mean it seems like 1,000, every 1,000 deaths on the Black Lives Matter side, you have like one death on the QAnon side. Okay, since billionaire entrepreneur, so billionaire, you know he's a bad guy, Elon Musk or Twitter, he slashed more than half the start, including most of the people who make judgment calls about what counts as impermissible slurs against religious or ethnic groups. Very scary, I wonder what officials say. So even before mass takeover, some Twitter users were encouraging confrontations with transgender people, meaning they weren't going along with how these transgender activists wanted to be addressed. And so that is that is bad, right? You don't support someone's change in identity and you're doing violence to them. This is not tolerance as just allowing this as tolerance as in you must support their new identity. And others who were falsely depicted as groomers. Okay, so all sorts of non-racists get falsely depicted as racist all the time, right? There are a lot of slurs that we throw around, it's just inherent part of the human condition. We think that we come up with nasty names for people, groomers. Like I want to take back the term grooming so that it needs something good. Like grooming used to mean good things, like how do you think I look so amazing this morning? Because I am well groomed, right? I would like to think that all my years in charm school, right? All my years in seventh-adventure school and public school, they groomed me to be the online sensation that I am today. Speaking to you from Kujia, Australia with seven live viewers. And I was groomed, but it was a good kind of grooming. It wasn't a bad kind of grooming. We need to take back the term grooming and groomers to mean people who do good things, right? Who educate, who inspire, who guide, right? Who help, you know, bring out the inherent goodness in every individual. Let's take back the term grooming. Let's make it a positive term. Okay, the new wave of anti-Semitism has reached millions of people. It's brought new followers and helped galvanize the broader coalition of fringe figures. So I suspect that this broader coalition of fringe figures is going to self-destruct all on its own. The fine anti-Semitism.  It's weird how they try to conflate the spreading conspiracy theories with violence. I'm not buying it. Absolutely. I totally agree with you, Alexander. And how come? There's no single category even of anti- Gentileism, right? For just as many proportionally Jews fear and have negative feelings towards non-Jews as non-Jews have towards Jews. But officials say, okay, we got our first official here, Denver Riggleman. I had a former Air Force intelligence officer and later served as a Republican member of Congress. Then was on the staff of the House Committee investigating the January 6th attack. Okay, so distinguished man, like credentials I don't have, Air Force intelligence officer, Republican congressman on the staff of the January 6th committee. Okay, let's call him an official.  Violence is inevitable. Yeah, but if you allow people to drive cars, right, if you allow people to own knives, you know, violence is inevitable. The question is, what is the correlation between hate speech and online disinformation against Jews and violence directed at Jews? Is it a high correlation or a low correlation? Are there other things that correlate more highly? And I suspect this is very low correlation. There have been nasty words flung around for thousands of years and only on occasion do they lead to actual violence. They only lead to actual violence when there are profound conflicts of interest between groups. All right, there's one official. Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday warned that domestic terrorists were maintaining a visible presence online. So what constitutes a domestic terrorist? Like, I would think that if you cross out my terrorist, they had committed violent actions. But I suspect when they talk about violent domestic terrorists, these are people haven't actually committed any violent crimes. In attempts to motivate supporters to conduct attacks, I think the whole Kanye West, Nick Fuentes, Milo phenomenon will probably turn more normies against anti-Semitism than toward them because it just looks so ridiculous.  Okay, so Department of Homeland Security was their increased risk for racial and religious minorities and gays and transgender people as well as government institutions. Well, the greatest risk they face is the increase in risk of violence unleashed by Black Lives Matter and the increase in traffic accidents, traffic deaths, pedestrian deaths, again unleashed by Black Lives Matter and elite wars against policing. So, at least it backed off.  Recent incidents have highlighted the enduring threat to faith-based communities including the Jewish community. Yeah, I have been in Jewish life pretty intensely for 29 years and there are very few faith-based institutes in Jewish life. I don't see any evidence and I don't think people are really talking about radical extreme ideas. Somehow, it looks in real life violence and it may very well at times, but what's the correlation compared to the enormous amount of violence that's being unleashed by Black Lives Matter and the whole deep, loose policing movement, the whole movement to let people out of prison? We know who commits the vast majority of violent crimes if we just kept these people locked up in prison until they're past age 40. All right? They're not going to go out there and commit a whole lot of new crimes. So yeah, where are these faith-based communities in Jewish life? And even if it does, it's constitutionally protected. This DHS bulletin made clear that online and offline conduct often reinforce each other in a cycle of escalation. Doesn't make that clear? Why does a bulletin, released by DHS bureaucrats, make clear this connection? I've got news for you. Just because a government department releases a report does not mean it's true. It doesn't mean it's accurate. It doesn't mean it's wise. It doesn't mean it correlates with reality. It just means that a government bureaucracy released the report. There's absolutely no inherent connection between a government bureaucracy releasing a report and truth. Sometimes they coincide, sometimes they don't. Where is this clear evidence that online and offline conduct reinforce each other in a cycle of escalation? In recent shootings at the Colorado Gate Bar drew praise online. Yeah, how and where do we draw the line when it comes to what we call this? Yeah, when you're directly calling for criminal behavior, then I think our legal system does a pretty good job at generally speaking of what constitutes incitement. So I'm happy with the law as it is written. So the recent shooting at the Colorado Gate Bar was done by someone who considers himself an up-binary. So a member of that community. They weren't radicalized haters by what's going on in Twitter. So DHS says the recent shooting in the Colorado Gate Bar drew praise online, encouraging potential conflict strikes. So Black Lives Matter goes mostly peaceful protests, 93% peaceful protests. Do you think they also stimulate more protests? Just seems to go towards minority report territory, persecuting people for anything even happens as the chat.  It seems pretty evident that these things drew praise online and encourage other similar behavior. New Jersey man was arrested last month after publishing an online manifesto for attacks on synagogues.  Okay, but is this correlating to Elon Musk taking on the Twitter? That just because it happened at the same time, all right, correlation there doesn't mean causation. The idea that there's a difference between online chatter and real-world harm is disabused by a decade of research. Okay, where is that research? This is Julia Cayenne. I know that she's just a relentless left winger. A security business founder and former assistant DHS secretary. Open expression on Twitter re-socializes the hate and rid society of the shaming that ought to occur regarding antisemitism. No, I didn't automatically dismiss this. I just want to know the evidence for it because in my reading of the literature, the evidence for this is rather slender. Most alarming to Joel Finkelstein. Okay, here's another official. He's a co-founder of the non-profit Network Contagion Research Institute. He's been the unification elevation of voices a little heard since the capital attack. So are they really unified? Really, like who's unified? I mean, we're talking about incredibly anti-social people. Like, I'm highly suspicious of claims that all these anti-social people on the extremes are being unified. Where's the evidence that there's unity? Like, these people can't hang together for more than a few weeks, generally speaking. That just makes me sense that his NGO, Network Contagion Research, the speech there, persecuting is not supported the way anti-white and a Christian rhetoric is. Yeah, so you can trash Christians and white people all day long and get very little playback for doing that. So it seems like most non-governmental organizations, like the Network Contagion Research Institute, are captured by the left. And so all these officials, they seem highly partisan. People want to create shooter profiles, identify red flags and rest monitor people for pre-crime, like go after the people terrorizing Chicago. Yeah, that's a good point. Okay, I lost my stream there, but we're back. All right, the National Contagion Research Institute, right, highly unbiased institute, I assume. He's been tracking various indicators that show anti-Semitism is on the rise, including fast-mortifying Twitter references to the New World Order, a bogus theory that features cosmopolitan elites, sometimes explicitly Jews, wrecking institutions and values of multiple nations to exert more control. So sometimes New World Order references are anti-Jewish, frequently they're not. I'm not a believer in the New World Order. I'm not scared by the New World Order. It just doesn't seem like a terribly impressive theory to me. Does it help, buddy? How? It's really going to lead to a multiplication in violent crime. Okay, Joel Finkelstein says, he's seldom seen anything as dramatic as what happened when the rapper-producer Kanye West came back to Twitter and posted clips from an appearance on the Internet show of bankrupt fabulous Alex Jones, where he said, there are a lot of things that I love about him. Yeah, this is unique. Kanye West has been doing the last few weeks. It is unique, it is dramatic, it is compelling, but more in a train crash kind of way than in the way that this is going to be shaping hearts and minds. What kind of normie is going to look at Kanye West trajectory over the past six weeks and say, oh yeah, I want that in my life? It's not thus that Yee said something to his 32 million followers on Twitter that even most Nazis keep themselves.  Okay, just because you get followers and attention doesn't mean people support you. Is a train of rank quality to what Kanye West is doing? It's good to use a finally speaking up for themselves. They should remember they vastly outnumbered white blood thirsty Christians. So I was listening to J. F. R. B. He says that Kanye West is blowing up his finances so he doesn't have to send so much money to his ex-wife Kim Kardashian. So it's not uncommon when men after getting into a war settlement they're not too happy with that they decide to blow up their finances. So just because Kanye has gotten a lot of attention doesn't mean that people are going to buy into what he's selling. All right, if a naked man read by right now I look up and wonder what the heck's going on but I would not be persuaded to follow him. I would not be more likely to get naked myself. I would not start running around stark raving naked. I think the reason the mainstream media is comfortable mentioning Alex Jones, Nick Fuentes names because they have no social media there's no easy way to follow them. Kanye is using anti-semitism to popularize a long list of actors who have been censored for a long time. Trolls are climbing over the walls to start new accounts. This is a bonanza. Okay, even when Nick Fuentes was being censored and shut down by all the mainstream forms of social media he still had over 80,000 live viewers on election night at least he did in 2018. So people who wanted Nick Fuentes, Alex Jones, Milo content were able to access it. Yeah, their reach was probably restricted somewhat and these pigeons are really making a racket. I'm trying to produce a very respectable show here and these pigeons are making it hard for me to keep pumping out this high quality content with such supreme audio visual quality.  So very scary all these officials saying we've got surging anti-semitism.  What the heck? My phone is going haywire. So many of these activist groups are mad because all the people they used to have a direct line to at Twitter and they long have a direct line to it because they've been laid off. So Elon Musk has just slashed the trust and safety team. The average boomer or zoomer who only knows how to use apps and see Nick Fuentes names has no way of seeing his side of the story. Is it that hard to find Nick Fuentes content? So these NGOs saying they're getting fewer responses to their complaints. Anti-defamation League said the proportion of tweets it reports that lead to a suspension fall by half. I think that's a good thing. I'm not really thrilled that an ethnic lobby like the Anti-defamation League gets to decide social media policies for billions of people around the world. So Finkelstein says his group has stopped reporting anything to Twitter because all of his contacts at Twitter are gone. So these officials say racism and anti-semitism work to draw attention. Yeah there are a lot. You can you can release a sex tape and that will draw attention.  I'm not sure it would lead to people following his behavior or following his political views or social views. There are a ton of ways to get attention. It doesn't necessarily mean that people are going to follow you. So the pigeons here are very bold, very bold indeed. They just come right up to you. They have no fear, no shame. It's so safe here in Australia like even the even the birds, even the animals feel safe. So extreme views get engagement from supporters, critics. Right that's true. The more intense, the more emotional content you put out online, the more interaction you'll get. But this comes with an enormous price. So extreme views get engagement from supporters and profit. Yeah there's an element of that. It also leads to people burning out really quickly. Not a lot of people have managed to sustain themselves. Australia is now the kind of urban population that we have here in the States. Yeah it's just so remarkably safe and I'm looking around they can't quite put my finger on it. Like how is Sydney like so different from Los Angeles? I just can't quite put my finger on what's doing it. So they're concerned, the officials are concerned that extremism gets engagement and reap gets profits. Yeah it also burns out. Like you can release a sex tape and you might be have to make some money from it but it'll come with an enormous price to your long-term welfare. And so political, cultural, religious extremism too. It can get the tension but it's going to come with an enormous price to your long-term welfare. So Andrew Anglin apparently is backed and Twitter's software is recommending that people following him. Does controversy create cash? It can at times but it's not so simple. It's not like a one-to-one correlation. Like I've had more in my share of controversy in my time but it hasn't really led to a windfall of cash. And there was one other article here that I wanted to show. It is Xi Jinping. He's going on a charm offensive. So why is the dictator of China going on a charm? A more pragmatic Xi Jinping launches a global charm offensive for China. Why is he doing that? Because the way he's been doing things hasn't worked. China's in trouble. China's falling apart. There's widespread hatred for China by other countries. The Chinese people increasingly loathe Xi and the Chinese Communist Party. So here's the Washington Post article. More pragmatic. It's just a pragmatic guy now. Xi Jinping launches a global charm offensive for China. So for three years he stayed close to during COVID. Now he's been on a global charm offensive. He's met formerly with 26 heads of state because he's in trouble. Like all these signs every day there's like some new sign, new indicator that China's in a bit of bother. So Xi is facing a wave of internal dissent not seen since Tiananmen Square. Triggered by his zero COVID policies. He has been a terrible leader of China the past few years. And just makes terrible decisions. The people hate him. Yeah, Putin more secure than Xi says the chat. So you have protesters rallying in Beijing last week declaring we don't want a dictatorship. Police are knocking on people's doors detaining them for attending demonstrations. And Xi keeps meeting with heads of states of other nations. So Xi has changed from the combative wolf warrior style, right, which is how he's operated for years. So he's working to repair strained ties and improved a damaged international image. In other words, China is low. China is hated inside China and outside China. And China is in increasingly desperate financial position. Increasingly desperate internal security position, increasingly desperate economic position, increasingly desperate trade vulnerabilities, increasingly desperate technological challenges, right. So every day new signs that China is in trouble. The world is changing. China is changing. So there's one professor. Thank you so much professor. So Xi diplomacy. I also think there's resistance in the government in China to Xi's military bustering. Yeah, would any of us be shocked if you were assassinated, killed, overthrown in a coup in the next few weeks, few months? All right. United States is increasingly cracking down on China, restricting the flow of technology to China. Xi is suffering problems with legitimacy at home. He's got rising domestic turmoil. And he made, seems when you dialogue with liberals, it is never ending unwinnable battle of proving that you're not racist. Yeah, this is what Ronnie Goodman points out in his conservative claims of cultural oppression. So Kanye's saying, yeah, I'm those things. So what? You've been ingested. It's an advanced response. Yeah, obviously, if you play on the liberal playing field, it's going to be very hard to win. If you continually doing battle on the enemies playing field, it doesn't usually work so well. So Xi met for three hours with Biden. He's just traveling around the world, right? He's trying to ease tensions. Why do people want to ease tensions because the tension is not working out in their favor? Because they're afraid of the trajectory that they're on in China and Xi Jinping should be very afraid. Now, I'm not back in Australia permanently. I plan to be back in Los Angeles at the end of January. So during COVID, Chinese officials hit back aggressively against criticism of the country's role in the pandemic against the suppression of the Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities has cracked down on pro-democracy demonstrators in Hong Kong. It's escalating threats towards Taiwan in support of Russia during the President Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine. So that was the bellicose Chinese response. Is anti-Semitism bad? I haven't encountered any. No, it's not bad. So there have been occasional outbreaks, a little bit here, a little bit there, but over the past 25 years, things have been pretty good for the Jews in Australia. I mean, they've been, I've never been to Iraq. So Australia, I'd say in 1918, someone described Australia as the place in the world least influenced by Jews. So quite say 1930, like Australia had was a country with like only the 30th most Jews in the world. Now it's in the top 10 for Jews in the world. A lot of Jews came during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. So there are about 100,000 identifying Jews in Australia, about 200,000 overall. So they're about 0.5 of the Australian population. The community has tended to be insular. Jewish leaders here in Australia have not tended to speak out on political issues. Jews don't dominate discourse in Australia like they do in America. There isn't a big Jewish intellectual movement. There aren't publications equivalent to commentary magazine here. So if you looked at, say, the most influential Australians, Jews would probably comprise about 5%. But when it comes to the richest Australians, then Jews may be as high as 50%, depending on how you calculate it. But Jews have mainly excelled in Australia in the realm of business, particularly Jews of Hungarian origins. Billionaires are probably about half Jewish, but a community much more insular. I've always thought of Australia as having a large ethnic Irish and Spanish population. Yeah, you also have lots of Italians, Greeks, Lebanese, Turks, and Asians. So the country was originally primarily English and still strongly Anglo-Saxon. But the Jewish community here doesn't speak out as much as in America, not as influential as they are in America. They keep quieter. They're very well organized, clearly harmonious between themselves in Australia. So I welcomed a German Chancellor to Beijing called for the two countries to seek common ground in the time of change in chaos. So if you're going out there seeking common ground with other people, it's because you need it. Brazil is a large Jewish community in Rio, but they're very under the radar. Yeah, the Jewish community in Australia largely plays under that radar. If I ever have facial hair again, I may be nervous. I don't have a strong opinion on it. So Xi Jinping is no longer the Wolf Warrior. He's trying to leave behind him his bitter, angry, sharp warrior diplomacy because China is losing the global PR game, it's losing alliances, it's losing friends. And so also Xi is trying to strengthen his hand at home by showing how well they can get on with other nations because he's now facing, yeah, look out ladies, the topless streamer is prowling Australia, the Dutson bad son. Yeah, about to go for a dip in the water, mate. In American June, the times I like my community did not be as political in part because the politics are liberal and I am not liberal. So Australian Jewish politics pretty much down the center. So there isn't a hard left domination of Australian Jewish life as there is in America. So yeah, Xi is trying to strengthen his hold on power by filling Chinese social media and lose with images of him meeting with other world leaders. They're trying to glorify Xi Jinping, show a grandiose return of China and Xi Jinping to the world stage, that China is back as Xi Jinping is back and stronger. But in reality, both China and Xi Jinping are in a lot of trouble. And so people tend to get very charming when they get into a lot of trouble. Yeah, I don't think he's going to do such a great job hanging on. So he's backing way off on the confrontation that we did go after Justin Trudeau. That was a widely shared media where Xi Jinping goes after Justin Trudeau. That was pretty funny. But with pretty much everyone else, Xi Jinping is trying to make nice. Okay, it's time for me to jump in the ocean, swim about, dive into the waves. Talk to you later. Bye, bye.


Hi everybody, this is Dave Vellante, and with me is Sandeep Singh, he's the vice president of storage marketing at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and we're going to riff on some of the trends in the industry, what we're seeing, and we've got a little treat for you. Sandeep, great to see you, man. Dave, it's a pleasure to be here. You and I have known each other for a long time. We've had some great discussions, some debates, some intriguing mind benders. What are you seeing out there in storage? So much has changed. What are the key trends you're seeing, and let's get into it. Yeah, across the board, as you said, so much has changed. When you reflect back at the underlying transformation that's taking place with data, cloud, and AI across the board, first of all, for customers, they're seeing this massive data explosion that literally now spans edge to core to cloud. They're also seeing a diversity of the application workloads across the board. And the emphasis that it's placing is on the complexity that underlies overall infrastructure and data management. Across the board, we're hearing a lot from customers about just the underlying infrastructure complexity and the infrastructure sprawl. And then the second element of that is really extending into the complexity of data management. So it's interesting you're talking about data management. You remember you and I were in, we were in Andover. It was probably like five years ago. And all we were talking about was media. Flash that, and at the time, that was kind of the hot storage topic. Well, Flash came in, addressed some of the topics that we historically talked about. And now the problem statement is really kind of, quote, unquote, metaphorically moving up the stack, if you will. You mentioned management, but let's dig into that a little bit. I mean, what is management? A lot of people, that means different things to different people. You talk to a database person or a backup person. How do you look at management? What does that mean to you? Yeah, Dave, you mentioned that Flash came in and it actually accelerated the overall speed and latency that storage was delivering to the application workloads. But fundamentally, when you look back at storage over a couple of decades, the underlying way of how you're managing storage hasn't fundamentally changed. There's still an incredible amount of complexity for IT ads. It's still a manual admin driven experience for customers. And what that's translating to is more often than not, IT is in the world of firefighting. And it leaves them unable to help with the more strategic projects to innovate for the business. And basically, IT has that pressure point of moving beyond that and helping bring greater levels of agility that line of business owners are asking for and to be able to deliver on more of the strategic projects. So that's one element of it. The second element that we're hearing from customers about is as more and more data just continues to explode from edge to core to cloud. And as basically the infrastructure has grown from just being on-prem, to being at the edge, to being in the cloud, now that complexity is expanding from just being on-prem to across multiple different clouds. So when you look across the data lifecycle, how do you store it? How do you secure it? How do you basically protect it and archive it and analyze that data that end to end lifecycle management of data? Today resides on just a fragmented set of overall infrastructure and tools and processes and administrator boundaries. That's creating a massive challenge for customers. And the impact of that ultimately is essentially comes at a cost to agility, to innovation and ultimately business risk. Yeah, so we've seen obviously the cloud has addressed a lot of these problems. But the problem is the cloud is in the cloud and much of my stuff, most of my stuff isn't in the cloud. So I have all these other workloads that are either on-prem and now you got this emerging edge. And so I wonder if we could just talk a little vision here for a minute. I mean, what I've been envisioning is this abstraction layer that cuts across all whether it doesn't really matter where it is. If it's on-prem, if it's across cloud, if it's in the cloud, on the edge, we can talk about what that all means. But if customers that I talked to, they're sort of done with the complexity of that underlying infrastructure. They want technology to take care of that. They want automation. They want AI brought into that equation. And it seems like we're on the cusp of the decade where that might happen. What's your take? Well, yeah, certainly I mentioned that data cloud and AI are really the disruptive forces that are propelling the digital transformation for customers. Cloud has set the standard for agility and AI driven insights and intelligence are really helping to make the underlying infrastructure invisible. And yet a lot of their application workloads and data is on-prem and is increasingly growing at the edge. So they want that same experience to be able to truly bring that agility to wherever their data in apps live. And that's one of the things that we're continuing to hear from customers. And this problem is just going to get worse. I mean, for decades we marched to the cadence of Moore's Law and everybody forgets about Moore's Law and I say, yeah, it's dying or whatever. But actually when you look at the processor processing power that's coming out now, it's more than doubling every two years or droopling every two years. So now you've got this capability in your hands and application designers, storage companies, networking companies. They're going to have all this power to now bring in AI and do things that we've never even imagined before. So it's not about the box and the speeds and feeds of the box. It's really more about this abstraction layer that I was talking about. The management, if you will, that you were discussing. And what we can do in terms of being able to power new workloads, machine intelligence, it's this kind of ubiquitous, call it the cloud, but it's expanding pretty much everywhere and every part of our lives, even to the edge. You think about autonomous vehicles, you think about factories. It's actually quite mind-boggling where we're headed. It is and you touched upon AI and certainly when you look at infrastructure, for example, there's been a ton of complexity in infrastructure management. One of the studies that was done actually by IDC indicated that over 90% of the challenges that arise, for example, ultimately down at the storage infrastructure layer that's powering the apps ultimately arises from way above the stack all the way from the server layer on down or even the virtual machine layer. And there, for example, AI opts for infrastructure has become a game changer for customers to be able to bring the power of AI and machine learning and multivariate analysis to be able to predict and prevent issues. Dave, you also touched upon edge and across the board, what we're seeing is the enterprise edge is becoming that frontier for customer experiences and the opportunity to reimagine customer experiences as well as just the frontier for commerce that's happening when you look at retail and manufacturing and or financial services. So across the board with the data growth that's happening and this edge becoming the strategic frontier for delivering the customer experiences, how you power your application workloads there, how you deliver that data and protect that data and be able to seamlessly manage that overall infrastructure. As you mentioned, abstracted away at a higher level, becomes incredibly important for customers. So interesting to hear how the conversation is changing. Like I say, I go back to whatever it was five years ago, we're talking about flash storage, flash memory, NVMe and no, no, no, you know, those things are still there. But your emphasis now you're talking about machine learning, AI, math around deep learning. It's really software is really what you're focusing on these days. Very much so, certainly this notion of software and services that are delivering and unlocking a whole new experience for customers. That's really the game changer going forward for customers. And that's what we're focused on. Well, I said we had a little surprise for you. So you guys are having an event on May 4th. It's called Unleash the Power of Data. What's that event all about, Sandeep? Yeah, we are very much excited about our May 4th event. As you mentioned, it's called Unleash the Power of Data. And as most organizations today are data driven and data is at the heart of what they're doing. We're excited to invite everyone to join this event. And through this event, we're unveiling a new vision for data that accelerates the data driven transformation from edge to cloud. This event promises to be a pivotal event. And one that IT admins, cloud architects, virtual machine admins, vice presidents, directors of IT and CIOs really won't want to mess. Across the board, this event is just bringing a new way of articulating the overall problem statement and a market in focused the articulation of the trends that we were just discussing. It's an event that's going to be hosted by business and technology journalist, Shabani Joshi. It will feature a market in panel with a focus on the crucial role that data is playing in customers digital transformation. It will also include and feature Antonia Neary, CEO of HPE, and Tom Black, senior vice president and general manager of HPE Storage Business. And industry experts including Julia Palmer, research vice president at Gartner.

Course in Miracles Live. We are going through the workbook of A Course in Miracles. We are reaching a point of, again, a review lesson today, reviewing lessons 21 through 25.  It's a kind of an exciting day because it's always fun to get into practical application and really these workbook ideas that Jesus is presenting to us, they're not just the play of ideas. They're not just metaphysical ideas because until you practice them and transfer the training and fully believe in them, all you have to do is fully believe in one of his lessons, he says, and it will transfer to all of the lessons. Your lessons are finished when you really, really, really apply one lesson fully then you see that we're all the same one and that there has never been any differences that are real or meaningful. And therefore all of the conflicts that were perceived were just projections of a split mind, trying to hold on to both God and the ego or God and the devil. And that's a split mind. You could say it's psychotic, it's schizophrenic, it's suffering from mobile personality disorder. The sleeping mind is the problem because mind awake, awake in the light of love and the light of Christ and the light of God. That is reality. So anything that is a distortion of reality, misperception, obviously reality is just pure abstract light. So all perception by definition is part of the veil that tries to cover over the light of truth. And the ego is, as they say, the acronym for ego is edging God out. And yeah, that's what happens when you believe in a lie which the ego is, the belief in separation from God is a lie. And you see that the ego is really a death wish in the kingdom of heaven, in the kingdom of eternal life and love and joy and oneness and peace, there is no such thing as death. So death is just a belief and that belief we're calling it ego. And this application of these workbook lessons is to transcend the ego. Very much like Jesus said in the Bible 2000 years ago, be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. He was really saying, I had overcome the belief in separation from God. And that's why Jesus could say and mean, I and the Father are one. Meaning we have a heavenly creator and I am one with that creator. I am the Christ, the living Christ at one with God. And that was a statement of a, actually a statement of the universal spirit of the Holy spirit speaking through. I went yesterday to see the first two episodes of season four of the series, The Chosen. And there was one point in the, I believe it was the second episode where Jesus takes his followers, his apostles and followers out to a place kind of to the north in Galilee, but it's a place where there's a cave and there's kind of a worship of different idols and different gods at that point. And the apostles are kind of cringing a little bit that Jesus has taken them there. But then at one point, he just starts asking them, which is very famous from the Bible, who do you say that I am? And he's looking around at all of them and then it's Simon who says you are the Christ, the son of the living God. And basically Jesus says, you know, it was not man's, but it was divine. It was God that spoke and was not man. And so basically that is a testimony there. That's like a witness of the truth, witness of the living Christ, the Christ is pure spirit, not a man, not a woman, not subject to time and space, but the Christ idea, a perfect creation of a perfect loving, beneficent, joyful, gracious God. So we're going to go into the review today. Also, I'm excited because today in about an hour and 40 minutes from now live at 10 a.m. Central Standard Time, I'm going to go into Tribe of Christ and I'm going to show a composite movie. It's going to be a composite of a couple movies and a few clips from movies all put together as a teaching device. And I referred to this yesterday where I said I'm going to be using the symbols of Gandhi, Einstein, Freud, C.S. Lewis and we're going to use the teachings of Jesus because the one thing that everything in the world has in common is that the world of bodies and the world of persons is a projection of unconscious ontological guilt coming from the belief in separation. The ego is the belief in separation from God. It's mostly unconscious. The beliefs are unconscious. They're pushed out of awareness. And then the identity that seems to be the human being is just on the surface of consciousness. And it's also a projection. It's a false identity. As the Bible says, God is no respecter of persons. God is spirit. Christ is spirit. The I am presence is spirit. And when Jesus said I and the Father are one who's basically saying spirit is one. God is the cause, the creator and Christ, the perfect idea is the perfect creation of God. That's the effect. Not a man or a woman, not anything in the world even with the body of Jesus, that's a body, a symbol that the Holy spirit used to point to eternal love and eternal light, eternal life.  So I'm kind of excited to show the movie today because it's gonna be a deep dive into starting to realize that until you accept your function as a teacher of God and accept your function as a miracle worker and then ultimately go for the, we'll say it's the big prize, the correction, the atonement is the sole function and the sole responsibility of a miracle worker. It has nothing to do with establishing an identity or something in time and space. It has nothing to do with achievements in form or communities in form or bodies or couples or groups of people. It doesn't have anything to do with different specific configurations of form. It doesn't have anything to do with the world of opposites which is the projection of the split mind. And in order to accept the atonement you have to first admit to a perceptual problem just like in 12-step groups you have to first admit to the problem before you can accept that the higher power can lift you free from the belief in the problem. It's the same with metaphysics. You can't be truly one with God and know yourself as the Christ if you still are playing the game of opposites. If you're still taking sides, if you're still believing in winning and losing, if you still believe in gain and loss, if you still believe in better and worse, if you still believe in anything past and future, there's a big one. That's at the bottom of it all, time. Linear time was invented by the ego. It was not created by God. The holy instant is the present moment is what Jesus is using to list the mind back to remembrance of God's eternal love. In fact, the workbook lessons which we're just here at the beginning, we're just on review lesson 55 but as we get towards the last five lessons of this workbook, Jesus is gonna make it very simple.  It's basically saying to Jesus and the Holy Spirit, you be in charge of the holy instant and revealing to me the present moment, the free escape hatch, the closest approximation that time holds of escaping towards eternity and remembering eternity is the present moment. So today we're gonna go through all those amazing characters Gandhi, Einstein, Freud, C.S. Lewis and with the commentary of Jesus to take us because Jesus is one who seemed to be a man who was walking apart from other men and women and children but actually it was the living Christ. It was the Holy Spirit, the universal spirit speaking to all of us and saying, wake up, forgive and be forgiven except your divine calling, your divine function, answer the call of God as I have answered the call Jesus was saying, this is the way you remember God is by answering the call being intuitive, being guided by the Holy Spirit. Jesus was a demonstration that if you just follow the Holy Spirit and only the Holy Spirit you hear only one voice in your mind and you follow that one voice, then waking up from the dream of separation and death is actually not only possible but it is inevitable and that's what Jesus is teaching us. So let's jump into our review lessons for today and we'll start here, lesson 55. Today's review includes the following. I am determined to see things differently. What I see now are but signs of disease, disaster and death. This cannot be what God created for his beloved son. The very fact that I see such things is proof that I do not understand God. Therefore, I also do not understand his son. What I see tells me that I do not know who I am. I am determined to see the witnesses to the truth in me rather than those which show me an illusion of myself. What I see is a form of vengeance. The world I see is hardly the representation of loving thoughts. It is a picture of attack on everything by everything. It is anything but a reflection of the love of God and the love of his son. It is my own attack thoughts that give rise to this picture. My loving thoughts will save me from this perception of the world and give me the peace God intended me to have. I can escape from this world by giving up attack thoughts. Herein lies salvation and nowhere else. Without attack thoughts, I could not see a world of attack. As forgiveness allows love to return to my awareness, I will see a world of peace and safety and joy. And it is this I choose to see in place of what I look on now. I do not perceive my own best interest. How could I recognize my own best interest when I do not know who I am? What I think are my best interests would merely bind me closer to the world of illusions. I am willing to follow the guide God has given me to find out what my own best interests are. Recognizing that I cannot perceive them by myself. I do not know what anything is for. To me, the purpose of everything is to prove that my illusions about myself are real. It is for this purpose that I attempt to use everyone and everything. It is for this that I believe the world is for. Therefore, I do not recognize its real purpose. The purpose I have given the world has led to a frightening picture of it. Let me open my mind to the world's real purpose by withdrawing the one I have given it and learning the truth about it. So there we go. I am determined to see things differently. What I see is a form of vengeance. I can escape from this world by giving up attack thoughts. I do not perceive my own best interests. I do not know what anything is for. Clueless, carefree, cared for. Or as Jesus says in lesson 135, do not activate the past, organize the present or plan the future. That's really leaving room for just be still and know that I am God. Be still and know that I am one with God. I am spirit. I am as God created me. That's the only place to go if you don't activate the past, organize the present or plan the future. It's a surrender. It's an alignment. So in his course, we're gonna go to chapters two and three today for some support for our workbook lessons to help us. And very, very illuminating passages here. Section four from chapter two and then we're gonna go to section two from chapter three. And we're going to go at some things, basically ideas of the atonement and atonement being a synonymous with healing because atonement is the correction in the mind and then healing is a correction in the mind. It's accepting the Holy Spirit and the atonement, the correction for the error called ego or the error called Satan, the error called sin, whatever you wanna call it. It's not about being responsible for the error but it's being responsible for your state of mind by accepting the correction that the Holy Spirit and Jesus hold out, which is the atonement. And so we'll talk a little bit about the atonement and errors and basically that the error is in the mind because it's a perceptual problem and the correction is a perceptual correction, right? Mindedness is a perceptual correction. It's not heaven, but it's a perceptual correction that opens the way, opens the mind up to remember the divine light. And then when we go to chapter three, we're gonna talk about miracles, we're gonna talk about divine innocence and right-mindedness will be a theme in both of these chapters. So let's go here to chapter two, section four, healing as release from fear. Our emphasis is now on healing. The miracle is the means, the atonement is the principle and healing is the result. To speak of a miracle of healing is to combine two orders of reality inappropriately. Healing is not a miracle. The atonement or the final miracle is a remedy and any type of healing is a result. The kind of error to which atonement is applied is irrelevant. All healing is essentially the release from fear. To undertake this, you cannot be fearful yourself. You do not understand healing because of your own fear. A major step in the atonement plan is to undo error at all levels. Sickness or not right-mindedness is the result of level confusion because it always entails the belief that what is amiss on one level can adversely affect another. We have referred to miracles as the means of correcting level confusion for all mistakes must be corrected at the level on which they occur. Only the mind is capable of error. The body can act wrongly only when it is responding to misthought. The body cannot create and the belief that it can, a fundamental error produces all physical symptoms. So there's a big one. The body cannot create and the belief that it can, a fundamental error produces all physical symptoms. Okay, this is basic cause and effect. Only the mind can create and only we'll say the mind of God and the mind of Christ can create. The body cannot create. The body cannot create. The body cannot cause anything. So you've never done anything right or wrong with the body because the error is in the misperception in the mind. It's wrong-mindedness is the error not anything the body seems to do or not do. And when you seem to have symptoms, physical symptoms those are just projections of the fundamental error and they aren't the correction. The correction is in the mind. We will go over this today in the movie because we will see that yes with Gombe, Einstein, Freud and C.S. Lewis the underlying thing that has to be recognized and they're just examples of us accepting this correction in mind is that the belief in causation in form the belief that the past causes the present or that the present causes the future which is still a linear causation thing it's not real because God didn't create linear time God is eternal and God only creates the eternal. So God creates Christ an eternal idea in the mind of God that has never left its source. That's what spiritual awakening is about but the belief that the past can cause the present or that the present can cause the future or that things that happen in the body or to the body cause illness. Nope, the whole medical model is not true because of this, all science, you know the laws of most of the laws of physics for every action there's a reaction not true. When you get into quantum physics you start to get into the quantum field in which everything is energy and unified and that of course is what healing is as well. It's unified awareness and basically healing you was telling us is just an effect of atonement. So the atonement principle came into being we'll say as soon as the mind fell asleep and believed in separation the atonement was the immediate answer simultaneously given by the Holy Spirit and now what is spiritual awakening is just accepting the atonement for oneself. And there are no other responsibilities you're not responsible for anything time and space because that's a projection of the air you're responsible for accepting the correction in the mind which is the atonement and that's the sole responsibility of the miracle worker or the teacher of God there is no other responsibility. You don't have linear responsibilities personal responsibilities you have the opportunity to accept the correction. And we'll go into this in our movie with Gandhi, Einstein, Freud and C.S. Lewis. Jesus will show us the way here. Physical illness represents a belief in magic. The whole distortion that made magic rest on the belief that there is a creative ability in matter which the mind cannot control. Aha, very baker Eddie told us there's no mind in matter there's no life, truth, substance, intelligence in matter, there you go. Very baker Eddie, right on, right on there. The whole distortion that made magic rest on the belief that there is creative ability, causative ability in matter, not so. Nothing on the timeline is causative which the mind cannot control, not so. The mind can control the direction of its thinking right mind, holy spirit, Jesus, wrong mind, ego, Satan, there's your choice. Heaven or hell, every moment, every single second you're just choosing between right mind and wrong mind and Jesus goes on to say, this error can take two forms. It can be believed that the mind can miscreate in the body or that the body can miscreate in the mind. What's an example of that? Belief that the mind can miscreate in the body it's all this psychosomatic things. The belief that you can cause cancer. That's the belief that the mind can miscreate in the body you can cause, that your mind can cause a heart attack that some stress can cause you some disease in the body. No, that's just the belief that the mind can miscreate in the body or that the body can miscreate in the mind. That this heart attack is disturbing my peace. This sore thumb is disturbing my peace of mind. Whatever you want to call it any kind of a thing, the symptom of the body is taking away the peace of mind. Now that's just the belief that the body can miscreate in the mind. When it is understood that mind, the mind, the only level of creation cannot create beyond itself neither type of confusion need occur. And we have talked about this before. I've said that mind reaches to itself it does not go out within itself is everything you within it and it within you. That's a quote from Jesus in the Course he's basically saying, there's nothing beyond the mind. But if you believe that there is that somehow the body can create and make mistakes in the mind or that the mind can miscreate in the body either one is just level confusion. Either one is just saying it's a denial that only mind is causative. Again, this will come up in our movie today on Tribe of Christ that basically with Gandhi, he was so good with non-violence and he did seem to get sick and had symptoms when he was coming back one time from England to India on a big boat. And sometimes people have asked me, you've read autobiography of Gandhi and you've read autobiography of St. Francis and the Aquarian Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Orangia book and all these books. But why did Gandhi get sick? And I said, well, it just, he seemed to take a side. What do you mean he took a side? What do you mean he took a side? In the world of opposites, he seemed to take a side. In World War II, he took a side for the allies against the Axis against Germany and Japan. Guilt, if you can't take a side, there are no sides. How many sides are there in oneness? You see, Jesus is really saying, you really have to take this non-dual forgiveness really, really, clearly, sincerely to really know innocence and peace of mind, a lasting peace of mind, a lasting joy, a lasting health. You have to really take him at his word and realize that only the mind is creative and the basically forgiveness is just seeing the false is false. You're just seeing the false world of images is entirely false. It's just one thing. Make this year different by making it all the same. It's the same thing. The images are all the same. There's none that are better or worse. There's none that are male or female. There's none that are good or bad. There's none, no images that are right or wrong. There's none that are sacred and none that are desecrated. Jesus is saying, the correction is forgiveness in the mind. Forgive them for they know not what they do. Forgive the images for they don't really mean anything and you'll find joy. So we'll continue on here. Learning devices, including the body and all symbols, learning devices are not lessons in themselves. Their purpose is merely to facilitate learning. The worst of faulty use of the learning device can do is to fail to facilitate learning. It has no power in itself to introduce actual learning errors. The body, if properly understood, shares the invulnerability of the atonement to two-edged application. This is not because the body is a miracle, but because it is not inherently open to misinterpretation. Remember, it's only the mind that can misinterpret and that's through wrong-minded ego misperceptions. That's what that is, wrong-mindedness. The body is merely part of your experience in the physical world. Its abilities can be and frequently are over-evaluated. Think about literature and sports and all the skills and abilities that the ego made up they're all seemingly relating to the body. And Jesus is saying here in sentence nine of section three here, it's abilities. The body's abilities can be and frequently are over-evaluated. Even the belief in private minds, personalities, it's their abilities, mental abilities, psychic abilities, the private mind with the belief in private thoughts or the body of the person, it's the personalities. The person's abilities can be and frequently are over-evaluated. However, it is almost impossible to deny its existence in this world. So he's just saying, don't deny the body, but just keep a close eye on your interpretations of the body and the world because you want to practice being right-minded. Those who do so are engaging in a particularly unworthy form of denial. What is he talking about here? He's basically saying, the body is part of what you made up, the ego made up the world and the body's just an aspect of the make-believe world. But don't just try to pick an aspect of the entire make-believe world, which is just the body and then say, if you get into an argument example, I'm not here, you're not here and we're not having this conversation. That's an example of denial of the body. You want to be the joy of God, you want to let the presence of love and light, you want the Holy Spirit to put the words in your mouth to bring healing and comfort and blessings. You don't want to try to just deny the existence of the body until you can go all the way back to forgiveness and see that the body and the world that surrounds the body seems to surround it, it's all unreal. But you don't go around trying to deny the body. That's, people seem to get into arguments around the chords or the Bible or scripture and it's like, no, no, you're here to extend peace by not judging anything or anyone, but don't just try to deny the body. That's an inappropriate use of denial to just deny the body and believe other things are real. They're all equally unreal. The term unworthy here implies only that it is not necessary to protect the mind by denying the unmindful. If one denies this unfortunate aspect of the mind's power, one is also denying the power itself. So if you deny that the body exists, you are also denying the power of the mind that was used to make the body. Don't want to do that. We just want to forgive it. We don't want to deny the power of the mind because we want to see the mind as causative and the mind is creative and we want to come fully back into mind, not to go out into the projection and believe in bodies and persons and brains and neuro transmitters and all this other stuff. You know, that's just level confusion. All material means that you accept as remedies for bodily ills are restatements of magic principles. He's talking about medicine here. This is the first step in believing that the body makes its own illness. A second misstep to attempt to heal it through non-creative agents. It does not follow, however, that the use of such agents for corrective purposes is evil. Sometimes the illness has a sufficiently strong hold over the mind to render a person temporarily inaccessible to the atonement. In this case, it may be wise to utilize a compromise approach to mind and body in which something from the outside is temporarily given healing belief. This is because the last thing that can help the non-right-minded or the sick is an increase in fear. They are already in a fear weakened state. If they are prematurely exposed to a miracle, they may be precipitated into panic. This is likely to occur when upside down perception has induced the belief that miracles are frightening. This is the fear of the unseen. It's the body's eyes and the five senses that are given such importance that the unseen spirit can seem to be very frightening. So miracles then seem to be frightening. And this compromise approach of basically mixture of magic and miracle is just basically the Holy Spirit offering something that will be gentle and it will not induce panic. It will not increase fear. The atonement, spiritual awakening is never about increasing fear. It's always about letting it go, exposing it and letting it go. The value of the atonement does not lie in the manner in which it is expressed. In fact, if it is used truly, it will inevitably be expressed in whatever way is most helpful to the receiver. This means that a miracle to attain its full efficacy must be expressed in a language that the recipient can understand without fear. This does not necessarily mean that this is the highest level of communication of which he is capable. It does mean, however, that it is the highest level of communication of which he is capable now. The whole aim of the miracle is to raise the level of communication, not to lower it by increasing fear. So we're going to see lots of opportunities in the movie today for applying what I've just spoken about. Basically, yeah, when we look at Gandhi, you know, he seemed to, when he fasted for many, many days, his body seemed to get very weak, but it wasn't the fasting that was causing the weak body. Einstein seemed to have cancer in his jaw at the end of his life. And again, it was just a wrong-minded perception that presents a symptom in the body, but it was nothing that Einstein said or did. It was just this ontological belief in the world, in the world being real and guilt being real. And that's what illness is basically just a projection of guilt, just an ego trying to put it out onto the body in the form of something, in this case for Freud, cancer, and the symptom in the jaw. And C.S. Lewis, yeah, he's another good example of one who was searching for the truth, who read all the classics, but he was in World War I and he had some trauma coming up from different things. When World War II started, he had a lot of flashbacks and trauma that came up there, but he was opening to Christ, opening to believing in the power of Christ and turning his life over, his whole mindset, his whole worldview over to Christ to come to the awareness that we're talking about. So that's gonna be very exciting. Here we have the mystical Christ just go there and go into programs when you go to this website. It's the-christ.net and programs and events, register for the movie. You just have to register, be part of Tribe of Christ and register for the movie. The movies is free. And then we go and we do a deep dive of practical applications of the teachings of a course of miracles, not the bantering around the concepts, but actual healing coming to actual healing, which is again, that's just an effect of accepting the Atonement. We're here to embrace the Atonement principle, the correction in the mind. Embrace what the Holy Spirit is offering us. He's not trying to tinker around and change something in the world. He's just helping us correct our perception from wrong-mindedness to right-mindedness. That's what the teachings of Jesus are. That's what the teachings of a course of miracles are. So let's take a little more time. That was a great dive there, but let's jump one chapter later to chapter three and section two, because now we're gonna go more into what miracles are. It's titled, Miracles as True Perception. I have stated that the basic concepts referred to in this course are not matters of degree. Certain fundamental concepts cannot be understood in terms of opposites. It is impossible to conceive of light and darkness or everything and nothing as joint possibilities. They are all true or all false. It is essential that you realize your thinking will be erratic until a firm commitment to one or the other is made. A firm commitment to darkness or nothingness, however, is impossible. No one has ever lived who has not experienced some light and some thing. No one, therefore, is able to deny truth totally, even if he thinks he can. Innocence is not a partial attribute. It is not real until it is total. So we're going for divine innocence. It's not a partial attribute. So basically, this is where Jesus is saying, don't take sides because if you believe in the world of duality and opposites, then you've made the error real in your mind, not in reality, but then you experience guilt and then you attempt to project that guilt with the ego trying to make false evidence appearing real, trying to see the guilt in the world. But the guilt is just in the mind from its misperceptions, from its belief in the ego. The partly innocent are apt to be quite foolish at times. It is not until their innocence becomes a viewpoint with universal application that it becomes wisdom. Innocent or true perception means that you never misperceive and always see truly. Or simply it means that you never see what does not exist and always see what does. When you lack confidence in what someone will do, you are attesting to your belief that he is not in his right mind. This is hardly a miracle-based frame of reference. It also has the disastrous effect of denying the power of the miracle. Miracle perceives everything as it is. If nothing but truth exists, right-minded seeing cannot see anything but perfection. I have said that only what God creates or what you create with the same will has any real existence. This then is all the innocent can see. They do not suffer from distorted perception. This is what Jesus was talking about in the Bible. Sermon on the mount, when he said, the meat show and hair at the earth.  Seeing right-minded seeing cannot see anything but perfection. That's where true gentleness comes in, true meekness. That's the meaning of the meat show and hair at the earth. It's through the healed perception. It's the happy dream that brings about the meekness that show and hair at the earth. You also see that the earth is not outside. Nothing at time and space is outside the mind. And that's what these lessons are for, to see that there is no world apart from what you think. To quote lesson 132, there is no world apart from what you think. You are afraid of God's will because you have used your own mind which he created in the likeness of his own to miscreate. The mind can miscreate only when it believes it is not free. And imprisoned mind is not free because it is possessed or held back by itself. It is therefore limited and the will is not free to assert itself. To be one is to be of one mind or will. When the will of the sonship and the father are one, their perfect accord is heaven. Nothing can prevail against the son of God who commends his spirit into the hands of his father. By doing this, the mind awakens from its sleep and remembers its creator. All sense of separation disappears. The son of God is part of the holy trinity but the trinity itself is one, one spirit. There is no confusion within its levels because they are of one mind and of one will. This single purpose creates perfect integration and establishes the peace of God. Yet this vision can be perceived only by the truly innocent because their hearts are pure, the innocent defend true perception instead of defending themselves against it. Understanding the lesson of the atonement, they are without the wish to attack and therefore they see truly. This is what the Bible means when it says, when he shall appear or be perceived, we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is. You know, this also applies to the golden rule do unto others as you would have them do unto you. But Jesus tells us in his course that that also means that you must have the correct perception of both. You have to have the correct perception of yourself and your brother, your sister, to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This course is about correcting perception and the fundamental requirement of healing is that you first must admit that you have a perceptual problem. Or in Corinthians, you know, it talks about, you know, we are looking through a darkened glass. That darkened glass is not right-mindedness. That's wrong-mindedness. And the temporary world, you know, that gives way to the eternal, the everlasting is through healed perception that's unified perception that's lined up with Jesus in the Holy Spirit. That's the way. That's why Jesus was the way, the truth and the life. That's why Jesus is the way, the truth and the life because the Christ's mind and the right-mindedness that leads to the awareness of the Christ's mind that the embracing, the remembering of the light, that's all what we're focused on here. We're not focused on the error. We're focused on accepting the correction for the error. The way to correct distortions is to withdraw your faith in them and invest it in only in what is true. You cannot make untruth true. You can't make the error true. If you are willing to accept what is true in everything you perceive, you let it be true for you. Truth overcomes all error and those who live in error and emptiness can never find lasting solace. If you perceive truly, you are canceling out misperceptions in yourself and in others simultaneously because you see them as they are. You offer them your acceptance of their truth so they can accept it for themselves. This is the healing that the miracle induces. Wow, wow, wow, wow. That's amazing, that's amazing. So this is our practice today. We're working on lesson 55. We've just reviewed those lessons 21 through 25. And if you're watching, you wanna come and join me, it's about an hour from now, 59 minutes from now. I'm going into the studio to show a composite movie. Basically I'm blending two movies together and some clips from a third movie to give us a teaching device. This movie will be a teaching device that I will use with Jesus and the Holy Spirit to go into the ideas that I've just gone into today with the workbook lessons and with the chapters two and three. And basically we're gonna go diving, diving, diving down deep towards the Atonement. That's the sole function. Again, no responsibility for the things of the world because that's the error, that's the projection. You are responsible for accepting the correction of the error, the correction of the error, which is the Atonement. You are responsible for accepting the Atonement. And Jesus says that twice in the course, the sole responsibility of a miracle worker is to accept the Atonement for himself. The sole responsibility of the teacher of God is to accept the Atonement for himself. He's basically saying this is all about finding the divine innocence, but as he just told us, the innocence is not a partial attribute. You can't be partially innocent.  And Jesus is saying, well, you aren't guilty. You are innocent.  God created you as the Christ and you remain as God created you. That's why the workbook lessons get so strong. My mind holds only what I think with God. Beautiful. I am one with my creator. Beautiful. I am the Holy Son of God himself. Beautiful. I am spirit. Beautiful. These are real ideas. And the real ideas show us the world in a very different way and then ultimately lead us toward the disappearance of the universe, which is good because we really only want God in heaven. We're not interested in a time-space universe. We're not interested in error anymore. We're interested in accepting the correction. So thank you for joining me.  If you can, go to the Mystical Christ, the-christ.net, open up the tab programs, go down to events, register, do what you need to do to sign in there. And yeah, if you can, be there. And it's gonna be a deep dive. It always is. This will be a comprehensive deep dive into mysticism and you are beginning to feel like I'm feeling that mysticism is wonderful. It's joyful. It's freedom. It's true divine freedom, not freedom of the body but freedom of the mind, freedom to remember our divinity, our divine mind, our identity as Christ is an idea in the mind of God. That's the whole point. Okay, beautiful. Love you.


Today, I'm going to be taking a look at the recently released OpenIndiana 2022.10. OpenIndiana is rather unique, especially for my channel, because it's actually not a Linux distribution. This is actually a Unix operating system. Well, it's not Unix, because of course the word Unix is trademark, the term Unix. But OpenIndiana is basically our free and open source continuation of the old Solaris project. Solaris became Open Solaris, and then when Oracle bought Sun Microsystems around 2010, the Open Solaris project, basically some guys forked it, the community forked it, and created OpenIndiana because they were worried that Oracle would eventually kill off Open Solaris, which is exactly what happened. And this was also around the time when Oracle bought Sun Microsystems. This was also when a lot of the OpenOffice guys forked OpenOffice and created the LibreOffice for the same reason, because they were worried Oracle would kill OpenOffice, and essentially that is kind of what has happened over the years. So anyway, I'm going to take a quick look at OpenIndiana 2022.10 inside a virtual machine. Today I'm going to be installing OpenIndiana inside VirtualBox. I typically use VertManager for all of my VMs, but that's for Linux-y reasons, because VertManager, KVM, QEMU, it's better for Linux virtual machines, but because this is not a Linux operating system, this is a Solaris-based operating system, I chose to use VirtualBox today because VirtualBox has Solaris actually listed and the options when you create a VM. So I'm going to go ahead and choose one here on the Boot menu, which is Boot Multi-User. Next up it says, choose your language. Now there are in alphabetical order, so it's very easy to spot English here in the list. It's number seven, so that's what I'm going to choose. So we're inside the live environment, which of course is the Monte desktop environment, and we've got two different install icons. We've got Install OpenIndiana. We've also got Install OpeningIndiana using a text installer. So I guess this is an older, like, in-curses-based installation. And if you want to do that, that's fine. You probably are going to have to manually partition your drives, though that's probably why they have G-parted here. So you need to use G-parted or a terminal application like FDisk or something to manually partition the drive to use the in-curses installer. But I'm going to use this installer, which I'm hoping is a simple graphical installation program. It is. It says, thanks for choosing to install OpenIndiana. I'm just going to click Next. No need to read that. Looks like it's going to automatically partition our drive. So the entire disk will be erased. I created a 25 gig virtual hard drive in this virtual machine. So I'm just going to click Next on that. We need to choose our time zone. I am somewhere in the US here. And Inver is too far over. What about Chicago? I know it's usually somewhere here, and that's the central time zone. That's exactly what I need. So I'm going to click Next. That strain is a little confusing. It's very hard to hit those precise dots on the map there. Language, English is a little fault, so I'm just going to leave that as is. Now let's create our root password. So the root password needs to be a strong and complicated password. Now let's create our home user. He's going to be called DT. His login name is going to be DT. Let's create a strong and complicated password for the DT user and confirm that strong and complicated password. The computer name, the host name, OpenIndiana is a little fault. I'll leave that. That's fine. I'm going to click Next. Here is a summary of everything that we have chosen thus far. All that looks good. I'm going to click Install. And away it goes. The portion of the installation typically takes about 5 to 10 minutes on my machine. So I'm going to pause the recording. I'll be back once OpenIndiana has finished installing. And the installation has completed. That installation, that actually took quite a while. That took about 15 to 20 minutes for that installation to complete. So a little longer than my typical Linux installations, but not terribly long. Now I'm going to go ahead and reboot the machine to complete the installation. Rebooting, it's loading some services with SMF. SMF is kind of your a knit system. SMF stands for Service Management Facility, I believe. Think of it kind of like how SystemD manages services. That's what SMF and OpenIndiana is. Says it's loading NVIDIA kernel mode setting driver for Unix platforms. Looks like this is some post installation stuff. I guess on the first reboot, it's got to run through some stuff here. And we come to our login manager. Let me go ahead and log in. So this is OpenIndiana. This is a very generic vanilla looking Mata desktop. And one thing I do want to say before continuing with the video is OpenIndiana is really not meant to be a desktop operating system, per se. And it's mainly a desktop computer user. I don't work in IT. I don't work with servers. That's not my game. I'm not interested in that game. A lot of what people would want me to take a look at with OpenIndiana is IT related. And I can't do that. So I'm only going to look at OpenIndiana as a desktop operating system. But I will say as someone that's been around for a while and I know a little bit about OpenIndiana and OpenSolaris before that and Solaris before all of that is some of the reasons why people, especially in server and enterprise, like things like OpenSolaris, OpenIndiana is because especially many years ago, it had a really cool file system that Linux just didn't have. It wasn't available on your Linux servers, for example. And that was ZFS. Now ZFS, the licensing issues look like they've been straightened out. Now you've got Canonical and Ubuntu shipping ZFS in its installer. You can actually choose ZFS as part of the automatic installation process. Now, so I think we've got that straight on Linux these days. So that's not as big a plus these days for why you would use something like OpenIndiana versus Linux. The other big thing they talk about is the init system, SMF, the service management facility, how that was so much better than the old init systems and service management tools you had on Linux prior to SystemD. Now, since the rise of SystemD over the last decade or so, SMF, I would say, also is not as big a positive for this. And a lot of ways, you know, what's made OpenSolaris and OpenIndiana stand out from Linux, a lot of that stuff has kind of infiltrated its way into Linux. Either just we straight ripped off that stuff and I ripped off, but like ZFS is already in Linux or, you know, we have tools like SystemD that do so much for us as far as a init and services and things like that and timers and all of that. Just briefly, I do want to go over the default applications that are installed out of the box here. Looks like they're going to default to mainly the Mate suite of applications. So we've got the CharacterMap here, which is very generic. GNOME CharacterMap 3.18.2. So that is an older version. Probably they're using a lot of the older versions of the GNOME applications because by now GNOME has moved to the GNOME 40 series and GTK4 stuff, which I don't know how any of that stuff would work on this OpenIndiana operating system. We have a desktop search utility in Grandpa, which is your archive manager for zip, unzip, things like that. You have the Mate calculator, if I go to help and above. This is Mate calculator 1.26.0. Back to applications and accessories. We have our font viewer, a search tool, Pluma, which is a plain text editor. You can think of this as an old fork of G-Edit and G-Edit. I don't mind. So Pluma is really not bad either. So this is a small and lightweight text editor for the Mate desktop environment. Let me close that up. And also under accessories, we have our screenshot utility. And then we have this collection category, which is our web browser. The default web browser is going to be Firefox, the standard free and open source web browser that's installed on most units like operating systems out of the box and Firefox is taking quite a long time to launch here. I gave this VM six gigs of RAM and two cores of my 24 thread CPU. So I don't know what the problem with Firefox launching was. It seems to be acting OK once it launches. But that very first time trying to launch it, that was kind of slow. Let's go to about Firefox. This is Firefox 102.5 ESR. So that's the extended support release of Firefox. Also under this collection category, we have the Monte Terminal and we have Thunderbird for our email and our calendar application. Let me launch the Monte Terminal and see what version of Monte Terminal. This is one dot twenty six dot oh, and you'll notice those three programs that were in the collection category are also pinned here as quick launchers. Then we have a graphics category, not much to see here. We have the image viewer and we have a color selection tool under the internet category. We've already seen Firefox and Thunderbird. Other than that, we have the Avahi server. We have Pigeon, which is an instant messaging application. Not too many people have the need for instant messaging anymore. But if you wanted to, you could add some kind of account. Pick a protocol here, such as IRC probably would be the one that's most used these days, XMPP is also here.  Also under internet, you have Tiger VNC viewer. So this is, of course, so you can connect to remote machines. So again, especially for server use and enterprise use, that makes sense. Why they include something like that here in open Indiana under the office category, not much here, oddly enough, they don't ship anything like LibreOffice, like a big bloated word processor or anything like that. All you have is your PDF viewer and a dictionary application. Under sound and video, we have Brasero, which is a disk burning utility. It's a CD ripper, which is a CD ripper, right? And then sound. So Brasero is a fine application. This is actually a XFCE application, I believe, isn't it? Pretty sure it is. Now, this is GNOME's disk burning application. XFCE's disk burning application is called XF burn. But I always get those confused. This is Brasero 3.12.3, a very simple program to use for those of you that still burn CDs and DVDs. Also under applications, we have our system tools, which is the Kaja file manager here. So just your standard Monte file manager, not much to see there. Also under system tools, a device driver utility. We have G-parted again and not much else. Let me go ahead and launch G-parted here as root. One thing I did want to check out is what file system did it default to? Did it default to ZFS? It says file system type is Solaris. Now, I don't think Solaris, the file system type, I think that defaults to UFS and not ZFS. I could be wrong on that. I wish I knew that I could probably look it up in the documentation. One thing I will say, the documentation on Opened Indiana's website is not great. It's very light up here in the Monte menu under applications. We've already seen everything. Places is just your bookmarks for the file manager. So if I click on any of the bookmarks, it opens the file manager at those bookmarks. Then we have the system categories here. And this is to change display, keyboard settings, look and feel, of course, your appearance where you could change some themes. If you wanted, for example, a dark theme, which might be kind of cool to play with a dark theme, although it's like it messed up the panel there. I'd better go back to the custom theme. Well, actually, going back to the custom theme. Didn't. Yeah, looks like I kind of broke it. Let's go with the black Monte theme. I wonder if I log out and log back in. Would everything be OK? Let me try that. Where do I go to log out and log back in log out DT? Yeah, still, this this theming is all off, unfortunately. So go back to the control center here. Displays, not appearance is what I wanted. Me, just click on these themes until I get something that I can actually read. This this one here, BlueMenta will go with that. Again, this is not meant necessarily for a desktop operating system. You can use it as a desktop operating system, but that's not the primary focus of this.  Let's see if it actually comes with any wallpapers at all. So theme, let's go to background. This is just the standard default Mate wallpaper pack, not much to see here. They do include the one open Indiana branded wallpaper. So I just leave that. Let's open a terminal. I wonder if control T happens to bring up a terminal. No, I didn't think so. It's usually like a Linux key binding. I didn't expect it to work here. Well, that is so bright. I wish they had some better color schemes here that I could choose from. Built in theme, solarized, dark. Yeah, there we go. All right, let me zoom in here. I wonder if a U name will work here. So if I did a U name dash R, you can see kernel version five dot 11. Of course, that's not a Linux kernel, right? Let's just do a U name dash A just to see what kernel we're using. Sign OS, open Indiana five dot 11, Alumos. One thing you'll notice, we didn't have any kind of graphical package manager or anything on this operating system, right? There's no mate software center, GNOME software center, anything like that, right? So I believe the package manager they're using is PKG is the command line package manager. So I believe if I did something like PKG search and then name of application, I don't know, H top, for example, and it actually does return some results there. So I wonder if I could do a PKG install H top here. Insufficient privileges is su installed by chance. Let's see, it is refreshing the catalog. You know, I think doing a sync of the repositories, right? And each top is finally installed. That took about two minutes or so for each top to install. It probably had to do with that syncing of the repository. You know, the basically doing a new cache of the package catalog there, let's run each top. Let's see what kind of system resource usage we're using here. And it's like it's using quite a bit of CPU, much more CPU than I expected. I am not sure what's going on there. That is very unusual. Do I have anything really running up here? Network profile, just looking in the system tray here. Now, probably, well, I actually did log out and log back in. I was about to say maybe I should do a reboot. But yeah, that's pretty high CPU usage. RAM also very high using four and a half gigs of the six gigs of RAM. I use this. Now, that could be due to the file system that it's using. Some file systems use more RAM than others. If that was an extend for file system on Linux, that would be shocking. Now, if they are using ZFS, which can put all the RAM you give it to use, then that makes sense. But I'm a little concerned about that CPU usage. Let's see if I can figure out what is using the CPU. Xorg, the Monte terminal at each top. Yeah, I don't I don't know if that's a accurate reading or not. That doesn't seem right, though. Wonder how many packages are installed if I did a PKG list? Would it spit out everything installed? It will each on its own line so I could pipe that into WC-L. Assuming the word count program is installed. That's WC, right? One thousand one hundred and nineteen packages are installed via PKG. Wonder if I could do a LSBLK to list the block devices. I know Bash complains that LSBLK is not there. It is using the Bash shield, though. That was the next thing I was actually going to run was an echo shield just to verify that we were using Bash, but we already know it's Bash because we got the error message from Bash. One other thing we should mention is SMH, which is, again, your service manager, your system CTO for those of you used to doing things with system D. Let me clear the screen. I don't know too much about this service manager. I do know that everything is called SVC for service, I guess, and all the commands typically begin with SVC ADM, for example, for service admin. And you can see I get some helpful information about the commands I could use with the service admin command. And if I wanted to list all the services that are currently available, I could do SVCS for services, plural, right? And it spits them all out on each on their own line. But I'm not going to spend too much time on that because, honestly, I would have to read a little bit on the man pages for SMF. So that's just a quick and cursory look at Open Indiana, the latest release, 2022.10. Now, I may not be the right kind of person to review an operating system like this, right? Because I'm a desktop computer user, right? I am not a server admin. I don't want to be a server admin. It doesn't interest me at all because I'm never going to be that in life. So, you know, I've had people request me to take a look at this particular operating system. That's why I did it today. But do realize I was coming at this from mainly a desktop computer user, not necessarily as a server administrator. Now, before I go, I need to thank a few special people.

Give people a window into who he is because depending on where you are in the world, you can know him for several things, all the things or none of the things. And so he can be a new individual with some people too. For sure. Yeah. I mean, he's also somebody who's like very widely followed in Silicon Valley in particular, I would say, definitely in crypto. His background like grew up in New York, went to school at Stanford, and then became a founder of this clinical genomics company that he had a PhD in computational biology. And so he started this like very technical bio company.  He was a partner at A16Z for a while. He started a few crypto companies. One got acquired. He became the CTO of Coinbase.
