Live from Cambridge, Massachusetts, extracting the signal from the noise, it's The Cube, covering the MIT Chief Data Officer and Information Quality Symposium. Now your hosts, Dave Vellante and Paul Gillan. Welcome back to MIT everybody. This is Dave Vellante with Paul Gillan. This is The Cube. The Cube is our mobile studio. We go out to the events, we extract the signal from the noise. Ken Demins here is the Vice President, Office of the CIO of Analytics at SAP. Ken, welcome to The Cube. Good to see you. Thank you. Good to be here. So, let's see. Let's start with this event. This has really evolved. It's like the ninth year start-off. It's kind of data quality, you know, not the big data meme hits. And then the Chief Data Officer, you know, role emerges and this show really starts to, you know, explode. But still narrow, still a small little collection of high quality people. What's your impression? What are you guys doing here? What are your thoughts? So it's a great show. I've been able to sit through a few sessions and find the interactions with the other audience members to be very fruitful and helpful. So our role here at SAP is we're a sponsor of the event, but my specific role is I'm going to be talking about a concept that we call Big Data Morality. So taking your point about the evolution of the event, our approach and our discussion on Big Data Morality comes from a practitioner's perspective in analytics. So we're going to be talking about the way we look at analytics and how we put into practice techniques around data security, data privacy. More importantly, these areas of morality of how we use the data. For what purpose? What are we trying to get out of it? And so on. Because as Big Data continues to explode and explode, it will continue to do, we need to be thinking beyond the parameters we've had in the past around governance. Because you can't corral all of it. So you need to find guidelines and ways of dealing with it. And that's what I'm going to be talking about today. So your work, obviously, is in the privacy areas. The privacy is a component of what you talk about, right, of what you're concerned with. Privacy is a piece of it. But it's also in terms of areas which are more gray, such as how would we use certain data. So let me give you an example. We work at some of our events with people who attend our events. And it's our goal to give them the best experience at the event we can. In doing so, there's certain data we would like them to provide us so that we can then tailor the event more towards them. What content would they like? What sessions would they like to attend? What other customers might they want to speak to? And in doing so, we put into place this give to get, right? We get certain data from them with their permission. And then we use it to help bring them value. So it's much more in that area. Because from an analytics point of view, in this world of big data, and given the processing power we have at SAP to really get through this data from an analytics perspective and draw insight, we want to make sure we're doing it in a way that's beyond just the physical privacy, beyond the physical security, but into the areas of where can we bring value? As we bring this data together. And my example there around the customer is that's to give them a better experience at the event. The reason I ask the question is a constant debate I have with a colleague of mine over how much data people are willing to give up. And whether people give up data willingly knowing that they'll get something for it or whether they simply resigned that they're going to lose that data anyway. Their data isn't private anymore. And there's research that actually indicates that the latter is true. What is your opinion on that? So we've actually seen, as we've done research around out point of view on this as well, we've seen that, well first of all there's a bit of a generational split as well. Those of younger generations, much more willing, much more open, that makes a lot of intuitive sense in terms of the way they share data more openly in social settings and social interactions online and so on. But we're also seeing that consumers are willing to give it up. One of the statistics we bring forward in the presentation, about two-thirds of consumers are willing to give up certain information if they get something of value back. Now something of value back is in the eye of the beholder. What you might want back might be different than what I might want back. And it also depends on the area, right? Is it something such as a coupon, something tangible like that? Or is it something a little more intangible in terms of, again, a certain experience or a certain way that we can tailor something to you? So we're seeing research across all age groups that points to consumers willing to give to get. But there's a proviso with that. They're also assuming that you're taking care of their data. You're not going to misuse it and you're not going to use it for purposes that you're not asking. So there's a lot of ground here that needs to be covered. Danny Sullivan from Search Engine Watch recently said that Google knows more about you than your spouse. And I thought about that and I thought, that's probably true. That's probably true of a lot of people. Now what kind of guidelines do you put in place? Or is it possible to put guidelines in place that keep companies back from the brink of creepiness, from overusing the data that they have about you? Is that even possible to define? Well, that comes with company culture. And that's what a lot of this talk is about, this idea of morality. That you need to be driven by what is in bounds and out of bounds. What Google does with their data as an example. There is a privacy component to it obviously. There's a security component. But they also need to be driven by their corporate values as to what is it they are willing to, first of all, gather and then secondly share and put together with other data. So whereas if we were having this discussion many years ago, we could talk about locking down certain aspects of the data. Only certain people have access to X, Y and Z and so on. That's changing because there's data all over the place. So it needs to be driven by something bigger. It needs to be driven by something more values oriented, which is what this idea of morality is. It's around, you know, is this within the guidelines of the way we as a company want to do business? You know, an SAP, some of our corporate values are around trust and integrity. So every time, even in internal situations where we're bringing data forward, we need to pass those tests to ourself. You know, what our employees trust when we bring this information forward, that this is being used in the right way, right? Should, you know, does this reflect the integrity by which we want to run our business? Just because we can do something or any of these businesses can do something, the question becomes, well, but should we? What's the value? What's in it for the customer? What's in it for us? And how are we living our values that way as opposed to profiteering necessarily? So is that a sort of self-governing model based on the culture of the company and the DNA of the company? Or is there a SAP? You know, I think SAP, I think structure. Is there a structure actually to govern this? Yeah, so the good news at SAP is we actually have structures around a lot of this. We have chief privacy officers. We have data security officers. Just today while I'm sitting here, I got a note about we have another security office that we're adding. So we physically have structures in place. However, there is a self-governance as well, right? If you're someone who's sitting in marketing and while you could be playing within the rules of privacy and security and so on, you need to ask yourself what you're really trying to do, what the value is in it for SAP for you to use data in a certain way, what the value is for our customer, and is that a road that we should be going down? So there is a self-governing aspect here for sure. Data security is no longer the job of the CIO exclusively. It's everyone's job. And the whole idea of bringing the morality to bear gives you a way within what you as a member of that community of a company already embody as your values, we're saying bring that phone into the data and let those be your guiding principles on how you're going to use it. So sometimes if everybody owns it, nobody owns it. It's kind of like the Closer by Committee in baseball. How do you address that challenge? So to your point, there need to be structures in place. It's not an all-or-nothing situation. As a collective group within a company, we do share certain values and a morality, but you don't want to leave everything up to any individual's total subjectivity. So we do again. We have privacy, office, security. We have a lot of the hard and fast physical means for managing it as well. What about the CDO role? How do you see that emerging and evolving? There's been talk at this conference the last couple years about the CIO morphing into a technology role or a business role. The CDO becoming much more of a factor. You're clearly seeing that within certain industries. What do you guys see? So I just saw through an interesting presentation on that where they were talking about the CDO role merging a lot of what the CIO typically has done and the CTO. What we're supposed to do, but didn't have time. Exactly. Or as they got busy trying to lock down the privacy and the security concerns. But yeah, it is expanding. And it is not just about, again, the physical data that we know about today. It's really needing to be more strategic and looking ahead. What are going to be the roadblocks a year from now? What are going to be the roadblocks six months from now? How are our customers, if you're in the business of where customers are actually using the data as well, what are the implications there? The CDO role is also going to have to go beyond the bounds of the physical business. So as an example, if you have a data center that's run by a third party, CDO's got to be involved there, right? Because how is that opening you up to either vulnerability or not following your values as you've planned? Okay, so let's see. We're 24 minutes into a discussion with somebody from SAP and we haven't talked about HANA. How has that initiative, so that changed the whole role of analytics within SAP? So I grew up in my career as someone in the area of marketing and analytics. And if you would have asked me, let's say many years ago, at some point earlier in my career, I could only hope one day there'd be something like HANA. Something that is actually taking the data and allowing the analysis to happen in real time as well as allowing us to focus more on the analysis and the insights than on how an analyst typically works, which is 80% of the time is spent on getting the data together and working on the quality. So it's a game changer. And that's why it fits into discussion as well. Because when we talk about having all the data from Internet of Things and just all the data within a company now, social, use of video, different types of things, and then you talk about the processing power. Having all that data wouldn't matter if you couldn't process it. And that's where HANA is a game changer. It's a game changer for us. So I am speaking today as a practitioner who works at SAP, who works with analysts who try to develop insight from this unstructured data and various tons of data. Without a tool like HANA, that's just not going to happen. How would you describe HANA briefly in two sentences? HANA allows for the processing and analysis of data in real time. But that's not distinctive. There are other real-time databases out there. Why HANA? HANA also integrates with a variety of other tools that we at SAP create as well as many of our partners create. So an analytics ecosystem around it? I would absolutely say that, yeah. But I want to take a step back. You had mentioned you didn't feel that that was a game changer. I actually see it the other way because I know without the platform like HANA and in earlier opportunities I have worked with some bleeding-edge technologies that have tried to get us to the same place. They were probably early on. They weren't as mature. And you would still have a lot of pre-processing. You still have a lot of work for the analyst on the other end. The thing about HANA is the self-contained aspect of it. And you're really able to pump a lot through there very quickly and be able to look at it in real time. And to your point, we then plug it into an ecosystem that uses SAP tools to drive the insight that we build in our business. Is Apache Spark a competitor to HANA or a complementary? So I am not expert on the product side of the world, but let me say this, as someone who's looking at this from the usage of creating insight and bringing that insight to market, any product that can compete with HANA would need to do that in the same window of time and with the same level of efficiency and effectiveness. So in that way, there's a variety of competitors, but we believe HANA is the future. So you're using HANA. Oliver Busman, we were talking about Oliver off camera. We used to come on. We would be down at SAP Sapphire. We would ask him about the dog-fooding segment as the CIO, right? And of course, he's European. He said, I prefer drinking our own champagne.  Absolutely. So we have a program called SAP Runs SAP. And in situations like today when I talk about what we're doing, we're doing it on all SAP products. In fact, many of our customers sometimes find that interesting on the one hand, comforting on another, saying, oh, so you're in fact using these tools yourself. Tell us your experience, right? And we can share that. And we share it once and all. Not anything is perfect or sugar-coated, and yes, we do. We run on HANA. We run the SAP predictive analytics library. We use all the other tools because we want to be able to ensure that our customers, and that we can provide feedback to the developers and our customers get the best products. So yes, we have definitely SAP Runs SAP Shop. Getting back to the issue of data, of the culture of data, and being, using it in appropriate ways, how are you involving your customers in developing these strategies or these standards? Yeah, so we work very closely with our customers on some of these larger scale projects, particularly the ones that bring in HANA. And we're looking at, and we're working with them on what they see as the standards, what's needed on their end, and likewise, again, we're starting to build those into our solutions. As I mentioned just today, we announced a data security officer, a new role to work with our customers who are in the cloud environment particularly and how the challenges they're seeing around this and what we can do from a security point of view in there focused right on them. So we do have several layers of that. So one is what I just mentioned. Another is we also have chief customer offices, which then work with our customers and bring those requirements in-house so we can meet their needs relative to these data issues. So Ken, as it relates to analytics initiatives, I mean it's a big chewy topic, but they're generally complicated. There's a lot of custom work that has to get done.  What advice would you give to your peers that are trying to sort of do some similar things? Sure. So an approach that had been taken in the past would be, okay, let's corral all the data and then once we have all the data, we'll figure out what we want to understand. We'll see what the data says. Given the oceans of data that we're living in today, you need to start with the question. What are you trying to understand? And then from there, we can work back into the data. And that also fits in with this idea of how we want to use data. Because if I'm just out there collecting, I might be collecting a lot of data that might not actually be all that useful to me, to our customers, or all that insightful, but yet I'm bringing it in. I'm giving myself a privacy concern. I'm giving myself a security concern. Focus on what the question is you're trying to answer. And then you can go out and give them the technologies. We've spoken about some of them at SAP, but elsewhere as well. You can go out, you can bring that data in. And you can begin having a dialogue with the business about insights. Not about it's taking us, you know, another six weeks to add more data. You're actually having a discussion on here's the business question, here's the insight we can develop, and then you're taking it from there. So it's much more of a slicing through the data as opposed to amassing a pool of it, which leaves you open to lots of vulnerabilities as well as doesn't answer the business question. Gartner famously forecast a couple of years ago that CMOs, chief marketing officers, would spend more on IT than CIOs by 2017. Are you seeing the makeup of your customer base changing as the business side increasingly wants to use analytics? We specifically see a lot more CMOs being much more involved, much more involved in purchasing decisions, much more involved in being instigators and influencers behind the scene as to where things are pushing. Absolutely. And in fact, back to your point about SAP using SAP, we had gotten on track several years ago without CMO at the time, Jonathan Becker, to ensure that we were doing that for just these reasons. You know, if we could make it work, and if we could understand what a CMO wants, or if we could understand what other line of business people want CFOs, you know, we can deliver a better product, right? So we've in fact seen that internally, and we're also seeing that out in the marketplace as well. Well, we love the data ocean comment. John Furrier is a big fan of data oceans over data lakes, so just tweeting out. Okay. Furrier, did you hear that? He's like, yes, data ocean. So Kent, thanks very much for coming on theCUBE. You bet. Sharing your and SAP's perspective was good to meet you. Same here. Everybody will be back with our next guest. This is theCUBE. We're live from MIT IQ in Cambridge, Mass. We'll be right back.


We're going to have 4 blues on the outside, we're going to have 4 yellows working in there amongst the mannequins. Obviously we're looking at passing and receiving so we're looking at body shape, weight of pass and all you're going to do, you're going to work with a ball, you're going to work with a ball and can transfer it from end to end. Nice and easy to get a blood pumping. So good communication, people on the outside of your part of it so be involved and it's going to be looking at now can you pump those passes in and also little movements off your mannequins as well. Alright, don't just go and stand there, can you play a little clever one too, could you do a little cheeky, a little one round of corner, a little back heel, be expressive. Yeah, good, there you go. Good and relax and change. As the ball goes out, can we weight the ball properly so check, if I pop it into you, can you switch to play, into there, one touch across to Parksy and now we're playing off there. Does that make sense? Play. Good. Side on. Good boy and relax and change, well done. So we just worked on the movement off the ball, getting the body shape right to receive it, not getting too close to the person who's actually passing the ball to them, creating space. So that's what we've done with no pressure, obviously there's a little bit of pressure in the mannequins but they shouldn't have really had trouble with that.  So now you've got to be thinking two or three steps ahead, so the ball goes in, we switch to play, we've set, we've spun, can we get another midfield player in? Play. Jayce, alright. Good. Talk to him now. Good, can you? Where's your movement, Liam? Can you receive in the after turn? Good boy. Well done, well done. Then we opened it up, when we progressed that, took them out and we played a little pressure game in there. Good, press, press. Great defending. Go on. He's not on. Great turn. Good, pop it in. Good boy. Better, lot better.


We have defined electric field strength as the amount of force acting on a coulomb of charge force per coulomb So Newton's per coulomb right now in this video We will look at a new way of defining electric field strength in terms of potential difference So let's let's start by something that we already know. Let's use this definition So let's take an example imagine we have a uniform electric field towards the right created by some sheet of charge Let's say and let's say that strength is hundred Newton's per coulomb Let's start by asking ourselves. What is the meaning of this statement according to this definition? Well, it basically means that if I keep a hundred or sorry a coulomb of charge in That electric field anywhere. It's uniform and that coulomb would experience hundred Newton's of force hundred Newton's per coulomb Similarly, what would mean if I had let's say another electric field say upwards and let's say this electric field was 500 Newton's per coulomb. What were the meaning of that? Well, this would mean over here if I now bring that one coulomb of charge and keep it over here and that coulomb would experience 500 Newton's of force 500 Newton's per coulomb Okay, now let's think of this in a different way and for that here's my question to you Imagine I let go of this charge. So I keep my charge over here. I'm holding it right now Let's say let go of that charge. What's gonna happen? Well, it's it's experiencing a force towards the right and so it'll accelerate towards the right and as it does that It's gonna gain speed. It's gonna gain kinetic energy as it goes towards the right, which means it's gonna lose Potential energy. It's just like a ball falling down as it gains speed. It loses potential energy, right? So that means as it goes forward it gains kinetic energy. It loses potential energy what I want you to try and figure out is how much potential energy this coulomb of charge would have lost if It went forward or when it goes forward by exactly one meter So can you pause and calculate? How much potential energy it would lose by the time it would have traveled exactly one meter? So, can you pause and try and figure this out? All right, let's see. So let's start by asking ourselves. How do we calculate how much potential energy is lost or gained? Well, that is calculated by the work done. The potential energy lost or gained is the work done by the electric field And so how much is the work done over here? So the work done over here? Let me write that. Let me write that somewhere The work done over here is Force into displacement hundred into one. That's a hundred joules Hundred joules and that work is done for one coulomb of charge So work done is hundred joules per coulomb and that means this coulomb will lose Hundred joules of potential energy by the time it travels one meter. Does that make sense and all of that hundred joules will get converted into kinetic energy Another way of saying that is we can say as I go forward by one meter. We will lose hundred joules hundred joules Per coulomb hundred joules of potential energy per coulomb meaning hundred walls Joules per coulomb is also called walls. So let me let me raise that and let me write this as walls Hundred walls as I go forward one meter. So I could say a hundred walls per Meter does that make sense? Think about it For every meter that I travel forward. I would lose hundred walls of potential in this electric field Okay, now similarly, what can you say about this electric field? How many how many walls would we lose if you go one meter forward? All right Well, it's good. The calculation would be very similar if I go one meter forward So let's say this is one meter The work done by the electric field would be 500 joules. So 500 joules per coulomb So 500 volts for every meter you go forward. So in this electric field We will lose 500 volts much higher 500 volts per meter And this is our new way or new definition of our electric field strength So our electric field this number is telling us how much potential gets dropped for every meter You go forward along the field Okay, and so now let me move this a little down Okay, let me move this over here. All right So now we can also say that this electric field Equals a hundred Instead of calling it newtons per coulomb. I can also say volt 100 volt per meter And what does it mean when I say electric field is 100 volt per meter It's saying that in this field for every meter you go forward. You lose 100 volts Similarly, I can now write this as I can now write this as 500 500 volt per meter Although there is a volt over here. This is not potential. This is field volt per meter And what is this saying? This is saying oh, this is a much stronger field For every meter you go forward. You lose 500 volts of potential So what's our new way of defining electric field strength? We can say it is a measure of how much potential drops potential Drops per meter Per meter as you go forward in the electric field. Okay, and how do we write that mathematically? So let me write that over here. How do we write this mathematically? We could say electric field equals potential drop which we can write as delta v Per meter which we can write as per distance So per delta r or delta x. What do we want to call that? Delta r or delta x and what's the unit? It's volts per meter. So a new way of looking at electric field Now one thing we need to be very careful. This is not complete equation yet One thing to be careful is remember The number is saying how much potential you're losing as you go forward. Remember it's a drop Okay, and how do we take care of that in the mathematics mathematically when we write it If I just write delta v it represents how much potential is gained because it's a positive number But we are saying it's the how much potential is lost and it's for that reason we put a negative sign over here So the negative sign Is basically saying it's a measure of how much the potential drops Think of it this way If your electric field, let's say is positive Yeah, let's say right side is positive if your electric field was positive And let's say you also move in the positive direction delta r is also positive What would happen to your potential would you gain or would you lose? You're losing. That's what we're saying. You're losing and therefore this needs to be negative So it's saying that if both these are positive the delta v has to be negative and therefore that's why we have a negative sign And of course in the future video we'll lose also numericals and this will make more sense But long story short electric field is a measure of how much potential gets lost for every meter you go forward Now before we conclude there's one Last thing I want to mention of how do we write this? You know, how do we say this technically? So whenever you're calculating how much something is changing How much something is changing with respect to distance? Or how much something is changing per meter? We give it a name. We call that a gradient. So let me write that This is called gradient. Okay. So if I said something like Temperature gradient, it means it's a measure of how much temperature is changing for every meter you go forward So this is potential gradient because it's a measure of how much potential is changing for every meter you go forward So our right hand side is potential gradient. Um, let me Let me shift this.  Let me try and make this so this whatever we're writing Whatever we're calculating is potential gradient A potential gradient And therefore we can now say that electric field. This is what you will see in your textbooks Electric field is the negative potential gradient. If I just say potential gradient, it means how much it's increasing So I have to say how much it's decreasing how much potential is decreasing and so We can now say electric field is A negative potential gradient sounds very cool to say that but hopefully now this makes a lot of sense Basically means how much potential is losing for every meter you go forward


Welcome back to Kids Fun Science. My name is Ken. Today's experiment is the physics of spins and figure skating. As always, adult supervision is required. What you need for this experiment is a lazy Susan which I have in the description where you can get it, apply wood, and screws. What I have here today, we're going to do this really cool experiment about the science behind ice skating and doing the spins. So what I'm using is a lazy Susan here. It's in the middle. In the description I'll show you where you can get it at. It's basically one of those things you put on your kitchen table and move the food around and stuff like that. But we're going to actually stand on it and show you the science behind these ice skating spins. Really cool. Look in the description for this and enjoy the video. To start off this experiment, you need to stand on your lazy Susan. Make sure you have plenty of space which you can see I don't. I have chairs right behind me. And then hold your arms out straight with two or five pound weights. I had five pounds.  Once I get going, I'm going to pull my arms into the middle of my chest. This will reduce the distance between the axis and the rotation in some of my mass, reducing my momentum of inertia. Since the angular momentum is conserved, my rotational velocity must increase to compensate. And when I wanted to stop, I just pulled my arms back out. The thing I found most difficult was actually keeping my balance as you start to spin around. And when you move the weights into your chest, you start to speed up very quick. This is slow motion here. And then when I put the weights back out, it slows down my momentum, which was really a weird feeling and very hard to control from falling off. I felt kind of like I didn't know where I was at and if I could hold on. I mean, ice skitters practice this for years and years. So here I go again. I'm going to get my push and hopefully pull my arms in the middle and keep my balance. And I cannot do it. Once you pull in, it starts going quick. Very last time. Go in, pull in, and off I go. So I'm going to bring in the youth and see if they can do it better. All right. So here we go. Ready to go. I'm going to get them going and he'll pull his arms in. He goes a lot quicker, but he falls off one more time showing in slow motion. When he pulls in his arms to his chest, he starts to spin a lot quicker than I do, but eventually falls off. I hope you enjoyed this video. Please remember to click thumbs up and to subscribe as we do a new video every day. And thanks for watching.


I'm EMT Regis, Emergency Medical Technician, attached to the Cassius Fire Service. Today, I'll briefly touch note on the situation which is at hand, which is the COVID-19 situation, which is a very serious situation. I think the general public has a misconception of I have been a victim of COVID-19 and it has been a really, really tough challenge for me when I actually had the virus. I had difficulty breathing, I was hospitalized and I have absolutely no underlying issues. My sister, who recently passed away, fell victim to the virus. The virus is as serious as the doctors say it is. We have found ourselves in situations where our resources are exhausted, the men are exhausted, the hospitals are exhausted. I have personally seen at the hospital doctors where it's very difficult for them and the nurses where the doctors are basically answering the phones, they need to cater for the patients, they need to document their reports and it's just as hard. On a daily basis, we receive a lot of calls. Initially, maybe we would have received more frontline calls but now you get more COVID calls where you find people have a lot of different symptoms such as shortness of breath, abdominal pain, fever, coughing, diarrhea, vomiting and it's just a lot and you would find that the person's saturation level, the oxygen saturation level is very low. When we get to the patients, sometimes it's very critical and when the hospital is exhausted and the hospital is overworked and there are a lot of patients, what will happen is really and truly people will die because they will not be able to receive the adequate treatment that they need. The doctors may be lacking resources, they're lacking manpower and also at the fire service we're lacking manpower and we're lacking resources and it's very difficult for us. So I think people need to really take COVID-19 very seriously. Like I said, I lost my sister and I could have lost my life through COVID-19. I recall that evening very clearly. My sister is not one to ever ask me to go to the hospital and she came to me and she told me, Jay, she really cannot breathe. She said to me that she cannot breathe.  She's really bad. So I brought her to the hospital. The doctors at the OKU hospital treated her and the doctor told me that she has a mild pneumonia. Within three days she will be treated with antibiotics and then to be sent over to the Victoria hospital. When she went over to the respiratory clinic the next day I had work. She told me that she's doing okay. The doctor said that she's fine alongside Claire. Hopefully if she's been treated she will be sent home for quarantine. So I was really excited, really happy that knowing that she's there. When I spoke to my sister the day after I realized that she's not in the best condition that the way I saw her from the time I brought her in the hospital and from there on my sister has been deteriorating. It is really sad, especially on her last hour when the doctors called me and just before that we spoke over video call and the doctors told me to prepare myself because she's not doing too well and then she's been integrated. At that point I knew I lost my sister and this is when things really really really really took a toll on me especially when going back to work and seeing on a every time I go especially to the respiratory clinic seeing dead bodies been seen dead bodies been put away in the vans to live to go to the funeral home and it's just sad it takes a toll on frontline workers it takes a toll on me personally because I have lost my sister and also people have lost their family their loved ones and like I said it really hit home and now I have to bury my sister now I have to really bury my sister so I think we need to do what is right follow the protocols protect yourself and your family I'm not saying people cannot have a good time but we need to protect ourselves the whatever it takes to protect ourselves and I'm telling you it's a lot from the fire service point of view and I'm only speaking for my crew there are two other crews and they are also exhausted through the entire COVID-19 pandemic situation it's very very very hard the hospitals are overwhelmed they're overflowing with sick people people are crying and calling all the time family members are crying all the time for patients who have difficulty breathing and sometimes only get there it's just it's too late so please take the right side it's just sad really really sad situations where I would go to a patient responding on the frontline ambulance maybe just basic sideline symptoms and when we get there it's just as severe when I get home maybe on my my 48 hours of rest I will watch my television and see those very same people that I went for is on telemetries and maybe when I get to the hospital I find out about what happened and realizing that they were transferred maybe to a respiratory clinic and they did not make it

La première fois que Timbuk était occupé par G.A.D., il y avait une année d'occupation. Et je lis tous les jours dans les newspapers de l'Ostage. Mais tout le temps, c'était l'Ostage européen. C'était un journaliste qui était kidnappé. C'était parfois français. Une personne américaine. Personne ne parle pas de 1 000 personnes qui vivent et qui étaient frustrées tous les jours par cette occupation. Pour moi, le concept de victime est un concept très étrange. Parce que les gens parlent et parlent de la victime, surtout si la victime, la ressemble, c'est-à-dire, ressemble. Et pour moi, c'était très important de parler de victime qui n'a pas parlé. La femme encourageuse qui refuse de mettre, qui refuse de couvrir et les gens qui jouent le football avec nous. Ou la guerre musicale qu'il n'y a pas. Mais les gens le voient lentement dans la silence. Et c'est très important de croire que l'humanité a une forte capacité de combattre. Et les victimes ne viennent pas seulement de l'armée. L'armée, bien sûr, peut libérer la ville, etc. Et pour moi, c'était très important de parler de mon communauté qui croit, qui est musulman, ils prient tous les jours plus que deux de Milan. Et ils ont un concept complètement différent de l'Islam que les gens qui viennent. Et c'est important comment ils protègent l'Islam. Et quand vous ne parlez pas de ces gens dans la télé, dans le newspapers et vous parlez seulement de les personnes craintes qui utilisent la façon dont vous parlez c'est terrible. C'est à dire qu'on n'a pas la capacité d'aider notre monde. Merci. Applaudissements. When we met in Mauritania you told me then that those youngsters who start playing football without a ball . It's a very powerful image about resistance through culture. About resistance I mean you know we spoke about Dostoyevsky that beauty can save the world. I mean that's a thing what is extremely important for you. Why? Because beauty comes from any culture. Yes. Beauty. Nobody have the monopoly of beauty. Yes. The beauty comes from not only from Bach or Mozart but the beauty comes from the place who never know who compose the song. That is also beauty. Beauty comes from the people also who don't have her own painter or compositor. But every day, every morning they dress like painter. That is very important to understand that culture is mean not only the official culture. Culture is not only in the museum or in the theater. Beauty is everywhere and it's very important to know that and to say that for me beauty it's really what you have it's beauty and if you have something you can share and tell and I was completely fascinated by Russian culture it was music it was theater, it was many things but I didn't know before that but I accept that I keep that many things I keep I can now put to my work to the cinema and to do the movie like that. But you see the quintessential European question what haunts us since the world of totalitarianism and what's the question of Adorno and Benjamin and Stein and many others that the world of beauty that the world of humanities did not protect us from the world of barbarism. Instead I mean that's the awful thing that the greatest perpetrators indeed were educated intelligence people they knew their real curve and so on and so forth. I'm very much impressed by what you show us on what how simple resistance can be to the power of barbarians that there is another power which is stronger than their power yet at the same time we know that in a certain way it did not work I mean this whole world of the humanities collapsed in the eyes of barbarism but but for me it's really interesting about the definition of barbarian the barbarism is not to have the capacity to resolve our problem today you know we build no let me finish we build several years ago wall between two berlin and this wall was and we continue today to build wall and we forget because it's not important that is this wall we build today cannot exist for long time yes for me the reaction against any wall we build even in Mediterranean they build wall because power people want to yeah and against of this wall we need to create something different that is art can help that well there we are art, the intellectuals culture can help us I would be careful about culture as a briefly as an opponent of evil because culture has been used very beautifully and effectively by all kinds of evil regimes by Hitler by Stalin, by many others a minute ago there is a way in which what some of the fanaticis the Islamic fanatics now do is try to create a kind of art it's a kind of performance art what they do with television culture a little bit like the internet and social media is morally neutral I mean it's a way we have of communicating and a way we have of creating you know the question is what are the politics the values behind it that's more important than the objects itself I think culture can give us courage courage to hold on our dreams and our aims but not my aims but the aims of other Hitler too and it's a simple fact culture is a tool thinking is a tool intellectuality is a tool and this night we saw high intelligent crimes and so I think we should be a bit careful to have too much hopes in thinking or in culture it's a dream of the 18th century it's the dream of enlightenment if we find the courage to use our own understanding if we find the courage to focus on the good the truth and the beautiful in the end we will be better how better word and be better man but this theory is over 200 years old now and I think it does not work so good I come from the 18th century myself I am admirer of the enlightenment but we have to remember that there is only one philosopher who told us that thinking is something so special that it is beyond good and evil that the think itself the intelligent human itself is the highest possible thing and this was Martin Heidegger a Nazi philosopher so I think we will make a better deal believing that thinking is a tool and you can use a tool for very different things

I am a stranger in a strange land. I want to introduce this video a little bit. For the last two days, I have been in a very strange place. Well, strange for me. I got invited a few weeks ago to give a talk, actually to re-give a talk that I gave in 2013. About an article that I wrote called The United States of Starbucks. Oh, and before I go any further, this is my Columbia Astronomy mug in celebration of my friends Alex Ticci and David Kipping who have just today announced the possible discovery of an exo-moon. Head over to the Cool Worlds channel and check that out. Really exciting, congrats you guys. So I got invited a few weeks ago to give an updated version of this talk. And not just any kind of talk, this is a talk called an Ignite Talk. There are five minutes, twenty slides, but the slides auto-change every fifteen seconds. This makes it actually a really stressful talk to give, but the payoff I think is really huge. After going to big conferences like AAAS, I'm desperate for things to seem more interactive, more entertaining and more authentic while at the same time conveying information. Buddy dog, what are you doing man? Somebody from the Geekwire Summit community reached out a couple weeks ago to see if a few of the Seattle Ignite alumni would be willing to come and give a talk. In exchange they gave us free passes to the summit and also I got to go to the VIP lunch today, which was actually really cool and the mayor of Seattle was there. But a technology conference is not my forte. This was a conference as much about the tech business, business of the tech industry as it was about technology. In fact, I would say it actually leaned more towards the business of technology. So it was even further outside of my comfort zone or my wheelhouse than I expected. That's a powerful thing, pushing me professionally to go and talk and relate to people who have no idea what I'm about. Here's the other honest truth. When I gave the original version of the United States of Starbucks talk, I was at sort of an impasse in my career. I wasn't sure that I was loving what I was doing, I wasn't sure I was staying in it for the right reasons. And I didn't feel a huge sense of ownership in what I was working on. This is the reason that I started IfWeAssume.com. This is my blog. I haven't talked about it much on this channel and I really have been meaning to. If We Assume and talks like the United States of Starbucks, the publicity that I got from that early on opened up a lot of doors for me. I got to speak at some events. I got an internship at Microsoft Research. These doors sort of opened because I hustled, I took ownership of what I was doing and then I created a platform. I created this website. You know, it's not the most sophisticated thing, but I created this thing and I put a lot of passion into it. So this is all a long way of saying that that talk, that five-minute ignite talk that I gave, that talk in my mind became this turning point where I wasn't sure if I was going to stay in astronomy. I dipped my toe into the tech industry waters. So to get to go back and re-give that talk to a new audience was a special opportunity. Anyhow, that's a little background. And so with that in mind, here's footage most of day one of the 2018 Geekwire Summit. That linear at the end game of disease is just like in smallpox. The last handfuls of cases are the most expensive for obvious reasons. And what I realized was two things. One is I enjoyed him getting fired up because he was mad at the problem of polio. He wanted to get rid of polio. But I didn't really test what it was like for him to be mad at me. That fierceness directed against polio all day. Like I can do that all day. There was a term back in the Industrial Revolution that's called euthenics. And it was, believe it or not, just human-centered design which has been thrown around as this recent novel idea. Nope, it's been around for a long time. You couldn't smoke your own dough. You could be a facilitator of transactions. You could go to the website for those transactions but to actually believe that you are smarter than everyone else as a principal of those transactions.  And my whole goal is to try to build a business. A fun topic today, it's a challenging topic to cut through the crypto and cut through the craziness of crypto since we're right in the middle of it. That is awesome. We're starting to see that conversation happening. But I think that you're right to say what are the lessons we can take? What are the issues we're talking about in the election context? This increases the sense of immersion and makes the virtual world feel more magical when overlaid on our world. Releasing information about that has actually happened on your first day. Yeah, it was quite... I had a heck of a first day. My first day, most people are like getting another colleague or people pull together. I was on the phone with state agencies from around the country saying, you know, oh, I'm Tony West, but here's my first day. I've got to disclose a date of reach to you. All right, a few takeaways so far. One, the food at a tech conference, pretty good. Better than the food at an astronomy conference, it's generally. Two, business casual in this world is much, much fancier than business casual in astronomy. I don't think it's worth going into too many details about that, but it's definitely different dress code here. Talks by various CEOs from companies like Redfin and the Bill and Linda Gates Foundation have been really, really interesting. And the whole style of fireside chats have been actually really cool. I feel like I'm not getting as much out of the panel discussions because they're a little more technical, a little less accessible to somebody who's not just straight in tech. I've actually found a few interesting overlaps. People whose cards I've taken who I definitely want to reach out to. So far, networking actually pretty good. Here at the end, they did this competition for elevator pitches, which I loved, because one thing that we really push on students is being able to explain your project in an elevator pitch. There's a great way to network at meetings, a great way to find new collaborators, and a great way to just understand what you're working on. So it was really cool to see that here, a whole competition based on literally elevator pitches.


The beach is one of my favorite episodes. I feel like I say that a lot, but I like it for two very deep and emotional reasons. The first one being that it's a beach episode, and the second is that there's a lot of Azula, and as an avid Azula stan, that shouldn't come as a surprise. And as much as I love the cool fight sequences and inventive bending in this episode, I didn't really care what the gang was doing. I wanted that sweet teenage angst. It's clear that the beach excels because of its characterization. In this episode, we learn what the Fire Nation children do when they're not chasing down the avatar. We've already seen the gang lounge around and beat kids, now we get to see the other side of the equation. Beginning with Mei and Tai Lee, from the get-go, they were never on the same level as Azula. While allied with the princess, I never feared them, or considered them as truly evil as I did with Azula. They never carried that same intensity. In this episode, we see Mei and Tai Lee act in accordance with what we've seen before. Mei being reserved and stoic, and Tai Lee being happy-go-lucky, attracting all of the Fire Nation guys at the beach. The beach does play on the tropes of teenagers, and these two fill their roles quite accordingly. However, where things change is that we get a deeper look into why their personalities are the way that they are. Mei, the once-only child whose family was rich, downplays her personal issues. The loneliness and solitude she's had to deal with as a result of controlling parents, explains her whole demeanor. Azula says that she is afraid of caring, but she proved over the course of this episode that she does care about Zuko, but she won't let his hardships justify his behavior, as demonstrated in the way that she doesn't put up with his outbursts of anger, but she still does stay by his side. Mei might be afraid of caring and expressing herself, but she doesn't shy away from expressing love, as she proves not only in this episode, but in the boiling rock as well. Moving on to Tai Li, we see the first glimpse of her past when Azula tells her that the guys that have been suing over her don't actually like her for her, which immediately brings her to tears. Later on in that episode, we learn that Tai Li chases individuality, and because of a lack of it, as a result of being a sibling who looks just like her five sisters, she craves attention, and explains her joining the circus. So Azula telling her that people don't care for who she actually is goes deeper than just some boys. What I also found interesting about Tai Li is that before she tells this story, Zuko burns his family photo and she interjects. She thinks he does care about that family photo, and that she does truly know him. Tai Li and Mei have been friends with the royal family since childhood, and Tai Li being part of a match set, not being recognized for her own talents, not being given attention, considering this, maybe she does know a bit about what Zuko is going through. Who is the older, weaker sibling to a firebending prodigy, the one who got all of Ozai's attention. This demonstrated that Tai Li is someone who is not only cheerful, but empathetic as well. Speaking of Zuko, this episode was significant for him. The beach comes in at the fifth entry in the season, and it highlights the Fire Nation Prince a few days after his return to the Fire Nation. Zuko should have his life in order. The Avatar has been killed, and his honor has been restored. As he said, Ozai talks to him now. He's under the Fire Lord's good graces, and he isn't being hunted by his own family. Again, things should be normal. I once said that Zuko alone saw the Fire Nation Prince at his lowest. Though after watching the beach again, it's so clear to me that this is truly his lowest moment.  It's been hammered into our brains since episode one, and he did it. His father says he's proud of him. His goal is fulfilled. But he's so empty and lost. In this episode, he's so volatile and fragile. He's jealous even. Zuko is so threatened when Mei talks to another guy because Mei is the last person by his side. Zuko is throwing fits of desperation.  Ember Island, this little vacation, is just reminding Zuko of how much his life has changed, how alone he is. When he enters their old vacation home, the crown prince picks up family photos, and he sees memories of a time where his father accepted him. He sees his face and he isn't scarred. His father hasn't burned him yet. He sees his photo and his mother's there. This is what normal looks like.  Ember Island is not a vacation for Zuko. It's a place of painful memories, adding fuel to his anger. And he projects all of that guilt and rage and anguish onto everyone around him. As we get to the end of the episode, they all ask him why and who he's so angry at. And of course he says that he is angry at himself, as the fire that he built rages. He's not angry at Ozai because he finally knows that his honor was never taken away by his father. But by turning his back on his uncle, the one person who's had faith in him from the beginning, the one person who's been by his side, Zuko threw away his own honor that day in the crystal catacombs. The crown prince is so angry because for the first time, he is truly without honor. But by admitting this and understanding this, he's turning the corner. As he seeks Airo's guidance in the very next episode. The beach is Zuko's first step towards redemption. Last but not least, Azula. The princess of the Fire Nation for me brings this episode together because of her much needed humanization. After a full season of her relentless pursuit of the gang, we have come to associate Azula and her chilling theme with evil. Sometimes even more so than Ozai. This 14 year old just took down Bossing's say in weeks. She killed the Avatar and five episodes later, we see her in this new light. Of course the first half is the princess in typical Azula fashion dominating the volleyball game. But as we get to the party, she's so out of her element. The princess can barely speak without it sounding horribly awkward and she needs to learn how to be a teenager. Though when she does manage to get Chan's attention and a kiss, she ruins it moments later.   But aside from her clumsy interactions, Azula shows her heart. When she gets jealous of Tai Lee, she makes her cry and immediately apologizes after seeing how her words affected Tai Lee. Later, when Zuko is taken back by the memories of their former home, Azula actively looks for him and invites him back down to the beach, removing him from the depressing memories of that place. Azula knows what happened to her brother, what those pictures are reminding him of, how things used to be. Finally, when she laughs at Zuko calling Tai Lee a circus freak, Azula genuinely seems to feel bad about it. All of these moments help in humanizing her, showing that she is a person who does feel guilt and sympathy. However, she contradicts this by calling Zuko pathetic, laughing at Tai Lee, making fun of Mei and claiming that all of their issues were sob stories. As if she isn't a victim herself. In Azula's revelation that her mother thought she was a monster, it made me think back to those clumsy and awkward exchanges at the party. The princess of the Fire Nation can barely interact with others if it isn't about Fire Nation politics. When she's not cutting into Long Feng with terrifying precision, she's just awkward. Azula doesn't know how to be a teenager, all she knows is how to conquer, and it even leaks into her moment with Chan. It was funny in the moment, but in retrospect, tragic. She doesn't know how to talk to people when she's not trying to manipulate them. More than that, this episode highlighted that Azula doesn't have her own identity aside from what other people have deemed her as. Azula believed that her mother thought she was a monster, and because Ursa wasn't there to mend that relationship, that's what she became. She felt like her mother loved Zuko more than her. Because of that, Azula sought out her father's acceptance and love, and he loved power and domination. Ozai wanted a winner, a perfect monster, so that's what she became. Zuko, Tai Li, and Mei all have their own identities. We saw from Tai Li's story that it's clear she craves individuality. Mei seems to be comfortable with who she is, and Zuko is currently cultivating his own identity. Tai Li calls Azula beautiful, smart, and perfect, but at this point it's too late. No one tells her that she isn't a monster, that she doesn't have to be perfect to have worth. Azula instead accepts and agrees that she is indeed one because that's the only thing she's ever seen herself as, and it has invaded her personality. I think the worst part is that she knows it, but she doesn't fight it. She can't fight it. So she accepts it, because in accepting that, it will bring her what she desires. Love, even if it is from Ozai. The fact that she didn't feel her mother's love and brushes it off is so telling. At the same time, Azula is being manipulated by Ozai the very same way she manipulates others. It's why she calls their stories sob stories and why she calls her brother pathetic. Zuko is coming to the realization of who their father truly is, and what he'd done to them, but she hasn't. How could she? Her father has molded his daughter into a monster built to fight, built to win. It's an obsession, and it's even more tragic when she loses the final fight with Zuko. Because when Azula loses, who exactly is she then? What is she? Those final 10 minutes, not only for the Fire Nation Royals, but for the gang as well, brings us back into reality. Both parties have spent the day relaxing, being kids, having fun for once. But as the night rolls around, the reality of war settles in, physically and emotionally. The gang gets attacked by combustion man and the Fire Nation kids are all opening emotional wounds. Particularly Ang, Katara and Saka, as well as Zuko and Azula, they are victims of this war. They're not all equal, but they've all been hurt by it in some way or another. Whether it be a physical scar, or a loss of identity, each of them between 12 and 16. The beach for me was a longing to sit with the awkward Zuko. The bubbly Tylee, the reserved Mei, and the socially inept Azula, just for a little bit longer. I wanted to see these kids, all of them, just be kids. But it's clear that for both parties, the war has taken that away from them. This video has been sponsored by Audible. Audible and their thousands upon thousands of audiobooks changed the game for me. At the beginning of my search for new books to read, I found it difficult to find time to sit down and actually read. Listening to audiobooks while I'm doing other things just makes life a whole lot easier for me. Right now I'm listening to audiobooks of my favorite titles and it has become a new experience for me. I just finished listening to Rick Jordan's The Lightning Thief and now I'm on to The Sea of Monsters. Jesse Bernstein's Percy makes a lot of sense to me and it breeds new life into the series that I already love.

NASA spacecraft takes GPS to new heights, presented by science at NASA. As any backcountry hiker knows, global positioning system, or GPS, trackers are crucial for navigation, but they can also be a little finicky. Units sometimes lose luck when you walk into the shadow of a canyon wall, when you point the units at the ground, or even when you make a sharp turn. Now imagine a GPS system flying through the vacuum of space at 22,000 miles per hour, rapidly spinning 43,000 miles above the surface of the blue planet below. Would it work? Turns out the answer's yes. NASA has developed a GPS navigation system for the newly launched MMS satellites that operates under these incredible conditions. On March 12, the four spacecraft of the Magnetospheric Multiscale or MMS Mission left Earth on a mission to investigate the physics of magnetic reconnection. Magnetic lines of force cross, cancel, reconnect, and bang! Magnetic energy is unleashed, with charged particles flying off near the speed of light. This process happens in many places. It sparks solar flares on the sun, as well as powering magnetic storms near Earth. Understanding how magnetic reconnection works requires the four spacecraft to fly in a tight pyramid formation through Earth's magnetic field. Positioning is crucial. Speed and altitude are not the only challenges for the spacecraft's onboard GPS units. In addition, the MMS spacecraft spin. Each one makes three revolutions per minute. Spinning adds a whole new dimension to trying to figure out where you are, said Ken McCoy, MMS GPS Navigator Product Development Lead at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. We have eight GPS antennas on each spacecraft. As the spacecraft rotates, we have an algorithm running that allows us to hand off from one antenna to the next without losing the signal. During the first month, the team compared the MMS Navigator System with orthodox ground tracking systems and found Navigator to be even more accurate than expected. At the farthest point in its orbit, some 43,500 miles away from Earth, Navigator can determine the position of each spacecraft with an uncertainty of better than 50 feet. The MMS Navigator System exceeded all of the team's expectations. At the farthest point of the MMS orbit, of 43,500 miles, Navigator was able to receive signals from the GPS satellites and perform onboard navigation solutions. At the lowest point of the MMS orbit, Navigator traveled at velocities over 22,000 miles per hour. In comparison, GPS satellites orbit at 12,550 miles away from the Earth and travel at 8,600 miles per hour. And most satellites using GPS receivers are in low Earth orbits at altitudes between 110 and 1250 miles. It's fair to say the MMS GPS is far out and moving fast. This system will be even more important during the second phase of the MMS mission when the orbit will double in size and travel all the way out to 95,000 miles from Earth. Thanks to this extraordinary GPS tracking, the work of understanding magnetic reconnection can begin. Stay tuned for updates with precision from science.nasa.gov.


Hi, she was seven. I'm back. Okay, so if y'all have not seen this video circling around about this This lady talking about McDonald's is a good date and women don't need to Go, you know on different types of dates to get to know a guy.

Okay, ladies. There are grown men with grown men pockets that can afford to take you out You don't have to settle that is your choice You determine your worth if you accept a McDonald's date, that's what you're worth If you accept sitting on a stoop, that's what you're worth if you accept any of those types of dates you have downgraded you have made it bad for the next woman who he runs into and He expects her to do the exact same thing go to McDonald's and sit on a stoop or whatever and she tells him no Okay, you're making it worse for the women who actually value themselves instead of you know, we'll take anything or Just because somebody's cute you're gonna allow them to Take you on a Date that is probably more appropriate for a junior high school kid Okay, that's not right.  I just I couldn't do it. It's like it's not even in my DNA It's not even in my DNA like my mom wouldn't even do it. Okay, and she was from the old school It's just not in my DNA to accept Mediocrity, maybe it's in yours. It's not in mine. I can't do it. It just won't work. I don't even feel right I I would sit here. I would actually probably break out in hives if I actually were Agree to go on a date and sit inside of a McDonald's I would probably break out in hives and wonder if I'm in a parallel Universe or dimension and if this is really real in my dream and I would be pinching myself like did I really agree to this? What the heck, you know That's what I would be and this lady is steady talking about it and it just bothers me that You know When these type of women get pregnant by these McDonald date men and Wonder why they can't get any help or support or why the man won't stick around and then they then they want to ask questions They call him sorry then but he wasn't sorry when he was feeding you french fries and McDonald's Right, he wouldn't sorry them but now he's sorry because he can't afford a child He can't afford a wife.  You know the only way I'm gonna ever date somebody at a McDonald's is if they own the McDonald's And we just going in to pick up the cash. Okay. That's it. I would I can't I can't do it and You're teaching Young ladies to accept mediocrity and this is not even mediocrity, you know This is below This is this is bad, you know, um It it feels like what you're trying to do is Help these guys to stay broke and low you're helping you're enabling these men to stay broke You're enabling these men to not want to thrive to do better, you know You're enabling these men to think McDonald's date is okay You're enabling these men to ask women to go Dutch. You're enabling these men to be sorry men and you're Proud of it. Okay.  They're not a high school student Okay, they can afford more than McDonald's if they if they value and see your Worth they would not even utter the words McDonald's or stoop or car around you. That's your value. Okay. Um, I Understand that you don't need to spend a lot of money to get to know someone I Understand because it's called a phone. Okay. They got FaceTime.   I don't know but I feel like The women aren't are never gonna get anywhere and the men are never going to aim higher if This kind of stuff keeps getting, you know Put out. Okay. The funny thing is is nobody is even listening to her. They're always they're calling her a pick-me girl You know, and I feel like Even if she is or even if she's not She's saying the wrong thing. She's devaluing women. Okay We deserve more than that. Okay. We deserve more than that Okay McDonald's is full of carcinogens. We deserve more than that at least take us to Panera bread. Okay, don't know Okay, so I feel like This is the type of woman That is holding us back as women in general.  It's okay. If you're broke, let's just get to know each other Okay, I don't need to get to know nothing about no broke man. Okay. What do I need to know?  I would be actually insulted. Okay. I Would think it would be a cruel joke. I would think it would be a prank and I would just laugh I'd be like, huh, that's funny. Now. Where do you really want to meet? Okay And you know men Will treat the woman as she allows him to treat her so you might have a man and And if this chick lets him take her to McDonald's, that's fine And you might date the same man and he will take you to an upscale restaurant because that's what you demand and that's what you That's what you like. Okay.  It's gonna get drive-through. Okay, and He's gonna use that one up and He's gonna keep chasing the one with higher standards because she makes him want to do better He she makes him want to get more and strive higher So that he can please her and keep taking her to these nice places and impressing her So just by her having high standards raises his standards. Okay. Now if I were to say yes to this McDonald's date, you know He might not try to get a better job He might not try to move up out of minimum wage status. He might just be like I got everything I want right here minimum wage job Woman and a big plate of food from McDonald's.  Oh, no, no, it's okay. We could just stay like this forever You love me for me, right? You know What's wrong with McDonald's? That's the kind of reaction You're gonna get so lady about the McDonald's date stoop date or whatever. I Don't agree. I know most women did not agree with you except the very unattractive ones That don't put effort or love themselves Don't put effort into themselves or love themselves and they will just take anything that's handed to them Those are the only women that agreed with you the ones that already have low standards and McDonald's would be a treat Okay, those are the only women that were agreeing with you and I think I commented on your video on Facebook and I said kind of what I said in this video and I feel like You know the truth, you know the truth You're just trying to get views and you're trying to make women lower their standards so These broke men who are probably in your family Have a chance to date Because right now things are pretty looking bad looking pretty bad for these type of men.  You know, that's that's like going to college Getting out and then being offered a job at McDonald's. Why did you even go to college?  You know Face makeup. Why did you even get up this morning and put on deodorant? Just so you can go eat at McDonald's with some broke dude.  Okay All them likes don't add up to even five thousand dollars, I bet of net worth so I'm sorry But you can get most of those likes were for men that are broke and there are a lot of broke men out there, okay? lot of and They would jump at the chance to take a woman on a date to McDonald's actually, you know, they would be relieved Stress-free they wouldn't have to look crazy when they grab their wallet or when the bill comes You know, it's not gonna be something outrageous. They're not gonna have to dip into their rent No, they're not gonna have to do that. They're not even gonna have to try to impress you So, you know, it's a good thing. So if you well, if you like Dayton broke score mediocre Men with no ambition Then a date to McDonald's is great and I wish you the best of luck
