What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical over here's into my Jordan pills nope in this video here again today So Jordan pills nope had a test screening that occurred last night We're gonna be talking about that in some reaction that came out also Talking about another reaction that actually came out a month or two ago And I'll leave links to both of these in the description And we're also gonna be talking about the potential chance of this movie getting Delayed because of stuff that I'm seeing coming out not only from people who attended these test screenings But also coming out now on actual verified accounts on Twitter like big screen leaks. So shout out to you big screen leaks But jumping on into this in relation to what was stated about a test screening of nope now This is from a month ago. This was this wasn't the one from last night But they described it as a bigger budget popcorn version of signs with sprinkles of twister and emphasis on chasing UFOs popcorn fun There are no big allegories Maybe you can read into the themes of how you can avoid UFO death the trailer is misleading And it is not a riff on the Twilight Zone episode Maple Street Everyone was speculating about the cast of characters are mostly Hollywood horse wranglers at a ranch It is very contained piece of filmmaking from pill the cut we saw felt very unpin Felt very unfinished for a July release vfx wise So the vfx that again was a was a thing that was an issue with that individual who saw it a month ago or two ago and The test screening that happened last night in LA was done And somebody saw it and they shared their reaction over on Reddit as well now these again usually have strict NDAs these people are of course sharing them from accounts where I guess they think they can't be found or traced of Usually that's that's what is happening if you're sharing it on Reddit Of course is not taken to your personal Twitter or Facebook account to share it since you signed an NDA But before I get to that Big screen leaks tweeted this out about the test screen that happened last night They stated if nope can be ready for his July release date It'll be a miracle for a movie that's relying on vfx very heavily It doesn't sound like they're nowhere near completion the problem there That's exactly what someone said a month ago about a test screening that they saw So the same thing seems to still be the problem a month later or they showed the same cut last night Which I don't really understand that or if it's an alteration of the cut that was shown at another previous test screening they haven't really done too much of an update in regards to the vfx and Maybe it was the same cut But that might be a big reason why this movie doesn't make its release date in July now That's not to say it's gonna get pushed into the next year or anything like that If anything is gonna be pushed to probably later on in the year late 2022 at best Maybe around the time of before halloween kills or halloween ends releases. Maybe sometime after that But if it gets pushed from his July release date I don't think it's gonna get pushed into 2023 over vfx if anything is gonna be delayed by maybe a Month or two, so we'll see but someone else had a reaction because they were at the test screening last night They chimed in on that response that someone gave to their previous test screening They said they just saw a test screening of this might be the same cut because the vfx were still very unfinished And yeah, not much social commentary as far as I can tell that's not an issue for me But the simple story felt messy and paste poorly I need to see the game when it's officially recent 100% complete to really make a final call on how I feel about it Also science comparisons are spot-on in that regard. It's pretty cool Now, I know there might be a lot of fans of science in night Shyamalan science I think that movies pretty cool myself So that is something to at least get honed in on I guess as far as like a positive from these two reactions that I found However, I do just want to say that of course while they this last person of course stated it was messy and poorly paced That's not to say that the movie itself is going to be like that for all of you who sit down and watch the movie because the movie could indeed just be something that is a popcorn movie for a lot of you to just have fun with and In that regard, I know a lot of people also might be maybe just disappointed that doesn't sound There's gonna be a lot of social commentary The thing about it though is I know in the past He stated that he had like four other social comments commentary like films He wanted to do and I think us you could say had to do it race Us no get out had to do it race us had to do it class or classism and Nope as somebody was making fun of in their first reaction I showed like how to avoid UFO death. That's of course a joke But what could they what could he be talking about trying to speak to when it relates to aliens? Or is he indeed just trying to put on a fun clever suspenseful alien movie that doesn't really have a lot to it? other than that just being a Decline in his social commentary works that he's done with his last two projects So we'll see how this movie ends up being I know that for a lot of you This might not be something you want to hear as far as like the reactions I was able to find but again the reactions when it comes to test screenings are not very easy to find Only because usually the people the people that are attending They tend to of course just not go on reddit or flock to read it It's usually like especially with this one because I was told a large amount of the public were present So you have to remember when they're signing these NDAs there could be a there could be several different reactions out there But the chances are they're not sharing them in all these places that you are going to be able to find them that easily It's like for instance sharing them in the DMs with a friend privately It's probably what a lot of them did versus sharing them on their social media accounts or Instagram or anything like that I haven't been able to find too many reactions to this screening that happened last night Other than that one that was in response to the first reaction to another screening that happened a couple months ago but When it comes to these test screens again, there's a lot of NDAs that are in place I know somebody messaged me personally and told told me they would be seeing the movie at that test screening So they of course signed an NDA as well I haven't gone out of my way to badger them about it or anything like that because that's usually just how test screenings go There's a lot of NDA stuff that goes into that Now when it comes to the poor VFX Now from what we've seen in the teaser in the trailer or the trailer. We got the first one Everything looks fine as far as what I've seen now Again, maybe something in this upcoming trailer is going to show us some things that highlight what these people are talking about But I hope this movie can make a July release if it's delayed It seems like it's gonna be mostly due to the VFX that are not finished because it seems like they also did show the same cut From the other test screening, but again, maybe there were some minor changes done It's just that the VFX are still not completed So this movie I guess you could say is still in the post-production when it relates to not having the VFX finished So hopefully it can make us July release if it's not able to make us July release Then I think the movie itself will come out sometime in August September probably August not to put it too close to Halloween ends Try to give it some breathing room to kind of get a successful box office run Do I think this is gonna be Jordan Jordan Peele's first dud? No, this might be his first very mixed response if anything, but we'll see how it all plays out I'm very still excited for nope Can't wait to see it later this summer when it comes out But let me know what you guys think about this down in the comment section below If you haven't already of course make sure you subscribe turn on postification never miss a video in the description I have links from a social media accounts on Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can message me there Of course, let me know as any movies news or reviews you like me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video


bunch of credits. Unlike when we looked at the accounts receivable where we had debits and credits over here. The balance sheet of account of accounts receivable is a debit normal balance account but we'll have credit transactions, the credit transactions reducing the account balance, the debit transactions increasing the account's balance. On the revenue side it's a credit normal balance account and therefore credits increase, debits would decrease but typically we won't see any debits because revenue only goes up, customers only pay us, we do not typically pay customers. What will the transaction be? It will usually be debiting accounts receivable, crediting revenue if we're in the type of company that invoices clients meaning we do work then we invoice the client and expecting an IOU, expecting money, a check in the mail from the customer in the future. So you'll note that all these transactions related to the increase in revenue are a debit to receivable credit to revenue. The second piece of that being the accounts receivable going down and the cash then being received. If we take a look at the next step then that step the creation of the trial balance. So we have just a small trial balance here because the general ledger can be overwhelming. Clearly if we're looking at a fairly extensive problem or an extensive company this GL will be very large. It could be a very extensive GL and especially if we're looking for an entire year worth of data. We're looking at only a few transactions here if we're talking about a year's worth of data then especially the cash account and the receivable account and say the revenue account could be pages long. So just keep that in mind that we're kind of simplifying the data here but the essence is the same if you look at an extended messy huge general ledger all you're looking for those ending balances when constructing the trial balance we're just pulling those ending balances here in this case those being cash being pulled over from the GL to the trial balance at $13,650 the accounts receivable being pulled over at $780 from the GL to the accounts receivable nothing in supplies nothing in accounts payable nothing in owner's capital at this point and revenue is that credit of $14,430 being pulled over to the trial balance at $14,430 nothing in the wages expense or utilities expense at this time and therefore it's going to be easiest for us to see on the trial balance one of the reasons for pulling these balances to a trial balance is that it's easy to see that the debits then should equal the credits once we pull all this data over then if we were to add up the debits the $13,650 and the $780 we would be equaling the credit of $14,430 and therefore if we were to subtract the two out we would have a zero balance we can also calculate net income easily in this case that just the $14,430 revenue minus expenses us at this point only having revenue of $14,430 and no expenses remember the sequence if you were to add to get a question as how does this happen in order we have the journal entries the journal entries are then posted to the general ledger the general ledger then we're taking these ending balances to create the trial balance the trial balance will then be adjusted to have to adjust the trial balance but will ultimately be used to create the end product of the financial accounting those being the financial statements balance sheet income statement statement of equity objectives we are now able to define the general ledger list components of the general ledger and explain how the general ledger is used


Moving on, the coalition of Benin social cultural organization has cautioned persons and institutions within and outside of Benin kingdom to desist from activities that pose an infraction to the throne of the oboe of Benin. The group while briefing journalists in Benin city, the state capital, warned that for the castigation on the throne of the ancestors will result in great consequences also stating that as indigents they will continually uphold the cultural value of the great Benin kingdom. The Benin people have lived in the concept of three fundamental elements the throne, the king and the people and it is in this cycle of elements one of the greatest civilisation was built. Enemies understand these immortal elements of connection, hence they are poised in using the same knowledge to destroy our cultural existence. We have values for our father, who is our father? Our father is the oboe of Benin, of Monoba, Nedo, Uquak, Bolo, Obaeware the second. I know the history very well, Yogyamans are distorting history, therefore they cannot tell us that the position they are taking is the true position. In this case we are urging the state government through Able Govno, Mr. Godwin in Nogais or Basaki to do the nifu and put the Yogyamans where they belong. We are fully ready to ensure that we will resist any passing or institution that is trying to distort our history, that is trying to destabilise the Benin kingdom and the Benin nation.


Sailors from the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force and members of the Japan American Navy Friendship Association took a visit to USS Bonhormershard to recognize the crew's work. Our work with the JMSDF is important because it helps the US Navy and the JMSDF when we operate together to understand better how each Navy operates. When the earthquake hit Kumamoto and Hugo's operating Osprey from the 31st Mu and Bonhormershard sent some sailors up to help the crew of Hugo who would not operate with the US Ospreys in the past. This love appreciation signifies a lot of work, a lot of dedicated work by the crew of Bonhormershard. Through the BHR's hard work and dedication in helping Japan during its time of need, they have shown that aiding our allies is still one of the US Navy's top priorities.

Hello, welcome back everybody. Thank you, thank you. Please take a seat. Please take a seat, all of you. Thank you. So, I'm going to introduce to you Carmen Mollet. On 1st of January 2018, 10 Brussels-based art professionals opened a shared bank account to which all members would have equal access and rights. Since then, all income generated by any of the members is credited to this account, while all of their individual expenses are also made from the shared account. Each person is free to make expenses from the common account regardless of the income contributed to it. We will now hear about Carmen Mollet, a live case study in its own right, and one which we as IITM members examining their solutions should embrace. The story of the case of Carmen Mollet will proceed our own session where we will be examining and discussing five other different case studies. I am very happy to introduce to you Dirstin Maksilov, who's been invited to moderate this discussion, as an actress herself, being involved in commoning projects such as SOS Really and Common Income, and Dirstin will join us on the stage. And with her, we assume we will have Anna Rispoli who works on the border between artistic creation and activism, and who is one of the founders and active participants of Common Income. Take it away. Do you hear me? Anna, you're here. So I was invited by Anna to moderate this session, and we see it a little bit more as a conversation between the two of us. We are both like busy with solidarity activities that focus on the redistribution of money or wealth or resources, how you want to call it, and we are both artists. So it's how to say we work on the grassroots of redistribution, and the landscape of redistribution models is very broad, and both are all the initiatives that we are involved in their more small scale. Common Wallet in particular works on a very intimate level, and SOS Relief, which is an initiative by State of the Arts, which maybe I will introduce during our discussion, but we'll see what happens, and works on redistribution through direct payment on account of someone in need. So there is someone who can say, I need money, and someone who says I have money, and then we match those people and they transfer money. So it works a bit on a bigger scale, but it's also very small initiative only for Belgium. And Anna and me, we met in another initiative, which is the Common Income, and the Common Income is a group where I think four or five people that are busy with rethinking, maybe and coming up with another prototype that can maybe be embedded in different environments also. So that's where we met, and the prototype hasn't been launched yet, but money moments have been launched, and we will talk about it maybe in our conversation. So how this session will go, Anna is going to give a short introduction of the Common Wallet. In the meantime, we see it a little bit informed, so if there are questions from the audience, I don't see everyone very well, but I see most of you. You can already raise your hands and ask the question. If I would have a question during the presentation, also Anna can respond to my question, maybe Anna has a direct question to me, so it will be trying to get a style of conversation in here, but we'll see how that goes. Common Wallet, as I say, is working on a business level, and I found one sentence that I thought is very intriguing which is saying, it's a radical economy prototype that aims at the polyamorous relationship with money. So on that note, I'll hand over to Anna and launch her presentation. Thank you very much. I really love this sentence because it's a lot of the possibility of imagination. It's a big project that works on intimacy, as it says. And so I thank you all for going to this kind of the suspension of this belief to create this intimate discussion between us, even if unfortunately it can't be there with you in a physical presence. But feel welcome also to have the last question by doing the presentation. So it's a project that we really intimate in that format. So the Common Wallet, as I understand it, is more or less 10 people, maybe in Brussels, four years now, are sharing all one bank account. How do you happen? It's one of these side effects of a project that doesn't see the light, but then the side effect is much more important. We want to create a cooperative and this cooperative could have not be the main and go to the community of a common thought producer to provide the professional expenses. And we want this part to be extremely fluid, not to be without science at the beginning of each project. So we thought that we need to exercise and exercise for its validity. We don't want to fall again into a cooperative seat and the mutual traction analysis is a lot in here. So let's make an experiment on a personal level, very formal, let's have one bank account and for three months we just share. And at the beginning we want to look at the professional account, ask for 10 cards and we decided a couple of principles. These principles were to worry everything we were earning with everything concerning the cash flow into the account and to use the account for all and the expenses that we need or that we want to do so that the difference between the essential cost because the energy and the school etc. was a personal level of non-essential cost, that we had here, a holiday or very expensive books, I don't know where people died. After these three months we realized that we didn't understand enough so we wanted to keep it for long, we experienced for one year and after this year we decided that we didn't want to open the corporate even more and we just wanted to focus on this shared common account. Why? Because we realized during the journey and the journey means that these kind of people have also changed from new people actors to people left so there is also a constant evolution on the needs that are projected and all that. So we realized that our main focus was to unlearn some of the services to unlearn the the destiny of the character which shows the actual value to success or to failure and to meet this failure and success in a seemingly lonely way in our culture because if you don't make it at the end of the month it's a fault. If you make it it's your value. If you earn more than others it also helps something about the presumption of failure. And it takes five minutes to make this very simple relation of a failure or success in failure. It's extremely extraordinary so many complex factors that is not the individual destiny but the individual willingness to do their work well. Classical ability fortune, luck help us to be the same good trend a lot. So after this five minutes a very simple evaluation of the symmetry of unfairness of position we thought that it would be very interesting for us to experience experience a new failure of your comedy that was based on a hierarchical approach that we are not here to fear system in which nobody ever believes they are taking upon a sense of particularity. Which is not very easy to discover. We needed at least a few years to learn how to deal with this liberation of the years as many experienced as many made to solitude and very filled with good friendship. So the challenge is then people try to transform money into a comedy and to transform the character of solitude into friendship. It's as simple as that very what I'm very reading and true to it I would say but also there is this other course between and they do that on a complexity of levels of course. So how is it possible if you question the characters who are live when we talk about money early on how is it possible to to shift from the feelings of neutral judgment how is it possible to shift the deep understanding of money as a pure scarcity basically or really for the emotional scarcity into or to reinforce the notion of abundance. It doesn't mean a little bit more because we are kind of together of course but it's very very different to have bound up the amount of people together rather than muscles in the end rather than the amount. So how does it work how does it work the experience is very simple even if you're facing one of your own kind of knowledge as a human being you just get to your favorite guy which is a little bit of a challenge once you've chosen your favorite guy you ask for a professional account you ask for 10 cards and you start to wire the entire key or your keys into the account which means more of your salary, your wages and also important that the allowance is tax enforcement and then we go to a more dynamic phase which is the gift the health page the eventually the rent that you get from houses that you have so the capital capital when we talk about this nature and that's when you start to use this account for every cost that you can make this principle that we call radical trust thinking that all riders are doing exactly the best they can even if your account suddenly goes to zero very quickly in the middle of the month that's exactly the best that could happen so no control make control you have a lot of communication for us what was very important was this kind of practice of regular meetings so we had what we call common breakfast in which we thought it would be important to just adjust for practical level how we should spend our money what happened can we earn her can we help each other can we consume better so in fact we realized that what was the most important thing is common breakfast the function was to share the emotions that were triggered by this common we shared the fears that were arising and the variables we shared the sense of security that the common model meant for many of us security because a lot of things become possible suddenly become one person can hold one year of time also basically getting out to be productive we by doing this it can happen that the cash flow of an office is expiry and even and to argument the different cash flow by hand is it to practical and practical level you can learn a lot from others how to do is the other side is really different and it's much more easy to do demonstration for someone as a product themselves because of this separation of the input here so the advantages became quite clear but the main thing was sharing the information of this common breakfast was the emotional unlearning the emotional process that we were facing together to recognize that it is possible to be together it is possible to create a radical model to achieve beyond the beyond the the other people it is possible to know that the current leader is not alone and that he is not is for the revolution we wanted to discover within the system it is not long one course we need many revolutions but it is a smaller revolution that is extremely accessible you may wonder who are these people these people one child and one half child in the sense that one member is inside a common wallet that the partner is inside a common wallet and the other child which of course has a great range of conversations and they are understanding how to be because this group of people we can share how we can think together to only share our cash flow this is extremely interesting to approach because we have been reflecting a lot on how to expand the project how to recognize the project and so to involve the savings and the outreach so we can only share the cash flow which is a sort of present moment and then we are wondering how to customize the past for the outreach and future for the savings we realize that this is another aspect as it is extremely to emotional development as well as emotional weight much money and love there have been needs very interesting but it is still going on we cannot solve it I think that the diversity of the members of the community some of the parties and your work in an edge field some of us are producers we have different experiences different age different professions different the way that we can work in our work I think that each of us as as different learning as different process of this experience the common world is not appropriate I would say for us for me what was what was really interesting was to observe how from a feminist point of view I was explaining which is the way that was divided the economy would be my couple in a sort of obsessive melody approach to justice so counting that the thing and everything the class the same thing because otherwise it would not be fair that was my approach to the capital economy the family economy we might share a common account in a different part and the moment I'm sharing now a common account with 900 people I feel how this transform behind the core of myself the capacity of trust in the future we trust the future because we realize that the character is not extremely violent on the real but there is much less violent on the real class but the capacity of anticipating the needs of others and also feeling that your own needs might be anticipated might be taken care of and we verify this one-on-one relation in a sort of circular and collective direction with experience and style and with experience and style so I don't want to take it too long because I feel like we hear your question if you have some but to summarize we try to not create rules before they are really necessary so we start from principles rather than rules principle which is more patronizing the way of determining certain attitudes or the approach to each other even if there is a little behind the scenes of course run across of replacing the logic of control with a logic of trust how much satisfaction is made of the capacity that means that if I need more or if I take more undenacted balance with this asymmetry because it means that these are my possibilities and these are my needs but you don't feel obliged to compensate your eventually scars financial contribution so that's why I'm not going to create unconfessed our relationship and so break the direct proportionality between income and debt I don't spend the money I earn I earn some money and less time for it well in general the other thing that we add in our chart is the foster actress so we share the tools in this society and to gain confidence what do you say shall we start from here and then see how it develops or have they gone? No it sounds very good I actually had two questions for clarification just for the experiment that we were involved under the common wallet one is the the precarity of the participants how much did it differ in the beginning? I would say the experience group we had the extremely precarious participants earning very very little like six or seven hundred years a month people would say we are on the top list of the earning but first of all we have fixed salary the income is increased and we have a certain stability so the two extreme are close and in between there are many other many other months there are parties that work for instance with the staff and the folks to be paying for many years for many months I would say they are also extremely precarious even if they earn a lot of money and we waste a lot of money for other and extremely precarious situations because what I realized often is not only the giving that needs to be unlearned but also receiving money like taking more that you earn also reading needs to be unlearned and I wonder like how long did this take because if we imagine future initiatives I think this is a quite slow process so I was wondering about like how much time does it take to unlearn to take more than one earns yeah that's a I mean the common knowledge is a micro political experience but of course it's not a spiritual project it's not that we don't see the rest of the world it's extremely cosmetic towards the rest of the world society so for me I can talk personally for me the exercise that worked a lot was the concept that one doesn't need to even receive it's not that we either receive only reading the group between the 10 people but we even receive in terms of society so if you don't need to the groups directly but you are from a broader society group it's also part of this very complex economy and this is also why we can start to understand the feeling of failure and success and precarity because it's not only because we can't provide after now the success that we are supposed to provide and the society is taking a lot from us so there is a I think these osmosis between a circular economy that is supposed to be closed for instance that people share one half count and you could also probably imagine that in fact this society is extremely broader than these 10 people helps a lot to break with the reciprocity and the small accountants they are how much you improve, how much you take yeah I think a lot has to do with the trust a bit over time and I'm for example out thinking in SS Relief it is really like a one time transfer but we saw for example that after a while people started to give more often so giving kind of created actually I have more I want to give more this is totally speculative because we didn't run a how do you say really like a questionnaire it's speculative but I see and then later we also developed like a golden reliever tool where people could inscribe I give for 6 months an amount which is 50 euros and 400 euros and there was one person also starting with 200 euros later on a second round of 400 euros so I would say there was some unlearning happening and this talking about money I find it also very important and you are involved in another initiative which is common income can you just share a little bit about this but the common income is first of all it's a research project so it's really a project that is also for development people and then would like to map the solidarity models that within these last years have been developed thanks to a necessity of the crisis and those have been developed because we all share the feeling that at the end the way that we deal with the sources and the solution of the sources so common income is a mapping project that as a vision also comes out with a proposal of the solution with BVI it creates a sort of solidarity model with BVI so we have been starting by inviting a variety of people that are actually in our fields to a safe space meeting as we call them so more things we can really talk very confidently about hospitality and we have been shocked in a way by the harshness of the reality of the faculty in their art fields how people have maybe survived in the last two or three years by these understanding we realized that already this is an extremely important tool that we would like to offer to the community so it creates more moments like that where people can be entitled and organized to be very consistent about the economic situation and about the solutions that came out of it the perspective is to again come out with a proposal of a solidarity model that might be to be for sure might be focused around the public or on the housing thank you is there any question in the audience at this moment yes thank you a lot first of all this is very inspiring and first of all I want to ask how did you arrive at this time of doing this in the beginning like what kind of past helps to arrive at this point of view and the second question is how the togetherness of these people happened I did not the choice of the ten people I am a super second person I am not the first part maybe proposals of meditation to arrive at this point of view to be able to see yourself inside this project like I feel like to see myself in that it is very inspiring but there is a lot of fear around so how did you arrive at this time to make that decision to create this project but I think that we have been lucky because we didn't aim to that so far we were really thinking of the three months we were excited and not really ambitious and then we got trust by doing I think this is also important because we always failure made the experience that the result is not brutal rather than transformation but it is sort of an organic role in the future and that's why when we encountered people that we would like to start to come around we tried to share this view of the softness in a way also neutral softness not to be far but to welcome the inevitable resistance of each of us as well as the sharing of the world very often your salary for many people is your own identity you are your salary you are what you earn and that's why people are extremely violent for its human rights act of the law now so how to soften these correspondence of your value, your personal individual value your salary what you earn and what you earn it's interesting to be down with that softness it is very deeply encrypted in our psychology and so how we did for us was what I'm bringing into the project how these people met it was a bit sort of a neutral resonance by talking about this possibility for these people to co-alize and crystallize around it and then some fresh members we just ask I have a personal history of individualism especially mine is the king that in my family is used to individualize and to individualize and to separate I would like to further this experience of my relationship with mine and my destiny of solitude and financial system so how for people that have been motivated to be there in the possibility of the expansion of discussion like a group we try to work on them of course our approach is rather to propose and promote the possibility of creating high common wallets as a very interesting exercise is not so many side effects rather than making a common wallet of 30 members these would be very practical because as I said one of the key with valuable trust is communication that we meet physically once a week that we constantly are chatting with each other this is very important but also personal personal life or professional life that we have to share with other projects so the reason we need the construction of friendship that we meet so I don't think that the group could be much bigger than 15 rather than people very big but there are some factors that are important I was actually wondering if you don't like to talk about COVID so much anymore but COVID was quite a difficult time how resilient and how helpful was a project like common wallets during these two years period where a lot of artists and cultural workers had inherently less work for us it was extremely valuable I have to say that we have never been so well economically I don't know how it finds because a lot of a lot of the expenses in our life is really traveling outside and doing the cuts drastically the important thing is that we could commonize we could share the support grants and support the urgency grants that's only some of us see very unjust and very unfair approach to same support and so if you share these benefits it's really important for us to have access to this this is one of the reasons why CIS recognizing that it's completely that some artists are inside the system so a lot of them are not inside the system and the difficulties that we see especially for young artists now to recognize the support for the faculty basically that also means like if we want to prepare for the next crisis we should start common wallets initiatives now but it does take a while to unlearn and to trust it's not something that can just happen in the crisis or could you imagine a form where it could just like an urgency or urgency arrives and you can just create it in the moment but I have a feeling that we are not the same people that we were before of course not on the outside of the world in general as societies would be supposed to believe you are learning skills is more evidence I think also for the sector I mean this Brussels meeting for NPM I think for the days and the work so we are in the reflection that the new ways are to learn so this creates a sort of acceleration better and the feeling that people are much more from now this is the possibility of sharing a life time sharing things on one side and the other side it is a bit advanced from the middle class of neutral class of building trust for building self supportive groups for the team well meetings are that's a hope this will be before it's definitely more necessary because the goal is still not only because of our economic crisis but the logic of crime is a few years we are at this and we are together Any other questions in the audience? Yes I hear you are super nice but it's true it's your way of thinking very practical question what are you doing with the leftovers if you have more money in the end of the year of the month what are you doing?  It's very rare so this sort of problems is not on the top list but on the problems but when we have the more money what we consider is necessary for the cash flow of months for a separate savings account and this it's kind of sometimes it's labeled like I know the Benjamin Blaster it's not a useful kind of anticipation we start to learn really this early is that nothing is just secure in two to three days but we can level it in weeks in two months it's very important to find it's level and then it is still an abundance that the rule was to never not to express desires which are important desires that can be really good for three to four months or maybe two three months it's clear that there is definitely not because you are not more of only artists or only art professionals it's much more mixed with now likely so we do not consider using this or let's produce a piece that doesn't find a producer it's no professional expense if you are pure people and for example if someone says okay I want to renovate my house or something like this is this coming from the common income or from the savings account or is there a separate channel sometimes I don't know I mean that's a bit the benefit of this before we really share the cash flow but we do not share yet the the average of the savings the personal savings is something that we have been for one reason or the other accumulated in years because this is even more asymmetrical in the cash flow people that have a house people that have two and people that have nothing they only have bags so how to share this implies even more of future from one of these as efficient in your sort of life long mutual commitment but it's also important to be polite to be kind of what we just write down the names to be sure that all the bags are paid and we can meet them and talk about savings houses, property because we are more competitive we need to formalize more we have the effort to be as responsible in terms of organization but we said if you pay a mortgage if you blow the house and you pay the mortgage we are all paid your house and the property is yours for instance we are renovating an apartment but we pay with some other money that we're coming from somewhere else that we're before in New York but we are paying two houses the expenses of two houses the house where we live and the house where we live and the effect of the generations that we have long time in the world for the kind of water, for the kind of electricity for two houses so the way that we always put ways between the two economies and the expenses that we trust and it's very small need for tolerance that we accept in fact it is a mutual sacrifice that we will end up in a legal property but there is not a contradiction to say in a way asymmetries are a knowledge that we are not aiming of a group in which everybody we are aiming that value of asymmetries or what they can also give so what there is also a way to to turn into something that is good for the group and any other questions in the audience yes, Matt thank you, wow such an enticing presentation in relation to the questions we have this morning what it could be because I think there is a lot to learn from your experiment project on a larger scale, a decision scale what it could mean to do something like this with 10 theaters in Brussels which is in a way completely because you have to do with finding, you have to do with governmental organizations also in relation to communication about feelings that arise and we would have to think about what that means but in relation to the framing of success in relation to on a solitary basis the fear from the future and the key things that you said were so transformative I think there is a lot to learn for most of us here in the audience on an institutional level from what you did on an individual personal level maybe you have some thoughts about that and my second question is you mentioned that people came in and out I'd be curious to hear why people left the project if you can share that maybe I should answer this first which is easy people left I would be called the life also at the moment it's really complicated from a national level so if you can have the space it dedicates to the company wallets because it's also an unusual technique there on each other all because they felt that they had down the journey they wanted to be a downed experiment for one learning for the next 100 and they felt that they had a focus and they had some and they had some sort of they will say it's different around the possibility of using the principle so I would say if you come around for much practice because the practice is very difficult to apply from a very important certain institutional level because the practice is all of these it is complicated that our practice is based on a common it's based on creating a cracks loop in the system in a sort of a more harder way it doesn't just throw anything around but just dismantle models for ourselves we don't really live in a very capitalist system to omit the the six parts how to at this level on an institutional level first of all in terms of administration so how do you justify the the predication of the budget this is I'm not prepared enough to say how much it costs for you as an artist I always hope that there is a way at least a way to go forward to open a little cracks into that and I'm sure that there are creative ways of making this the legal that creating is a freebie in terms of principles radical trust and known hierarchical non-functionalizing solidarity I think it's too important to say that easy, easy can be a lot many efforts have been a little bit of experience in New York especially and again my experience is just on the point of view of an artist on the point of view of the actual of the house but I see that even in principle that this is an attempt to say we are all on the same case then the rules to protect each other's face and each other's capacity of how we influence the network are all oriented to creating a difference for those that are pit-fierce and those that are small-fierce we can do it more and etc etc which is totally understandable because that's exactly how the world works but if we want to challenge real things I think we need to challenge the principles that we need to open these numbers I think it would be something that would be fantastic it would be disgusting it would be peer-to-peer and rather than solidarity it would be trust I think it's three notions that in the time with general emergency which society is clogging I think it's something that can really become a piece of regeneration also an energy of being a piece of useful energy in each other's years and the motivation and the change Thank you Anna Francesca, one more minute is there one last urgent question Okay very quick did you have conversations around ethics about spending and whom or how, where it could be spent it feels like an old question in an autonomous project but it's existing within a neoliberal capitalist you're spending your money did you talk about that? Yeah Of course that's the first year, because of course everybody has an online application of our bank account now so you can constantly check what the level is and just adjust your expense of the day of the week we have a secretary of the month so we have a patient figure of the secretary that just from the level is the most you have to think about buying the papers rather than what he suggests suggests we were afraid of the transparency which is one of the important principles of the project you have to go to neutral judgment and neutral check no matter what this person is saying about this matter and if everybody realize there's not so much happening there or if it is happening it's part of the learning process sometimes you need to face the dark side of the island nerd that wants to know exactly what the others can handle but because it's not the job to say as soon as you hold it you agree with that and the country can have a conversation about it it's not about the mood we can insist about it sometimes it's also painful because we are in a conflict between the desire of not judging each other and the needs of understanding why certain things are very important for someone else but no, this person explained that these very expensive purchase were important are important that's it, the thing I said because that's about the trust if they come with this that's it one side effect in general because we very often we buy and consume to compensate frustration and loneliness basically we waste less satisfaction in human relationship than in consumption so in a way we also learn from each other how to exchange some of our things so we never manage, for instance, to do a very organized rationalization of expansion we don't buy we don't and it is being proved by Shah we still challenge very much the process of learning from your experience thank you very much, Anna I think everyone thank you for the invitation you actually very interesting Thank you for the afternoon Thank you. I will take your last note where you said you all started to consume less. I think this is also a very nice empowerment for the future that all consumers with less. And after this session now, there will be five case studies which won't only deal with money, but around fair arts practices, and it will be guided by Ingrid, or you will take over the mic, I think. No? Yes. Thank you all. Thank you.


Skepticism is necessary to have an accurate world view. You can't simply believe something because somebody told you. You have to doubt, and often. At the beginning of a philosophic journey, you must even doubt yourself. Are you perhaps an unreliable narrator? Can your own mind be trusted? In the last several years, this perspective has become crystallized in my mind, and it's developed into something like a life motto. It's a simple principle, and here it is. Everybody is wrong about everything all the time. The more I interact with people, the more this principle is affirmed. And there are exceptions, of course, but it's an incredibly reliable rule of thumb. It is difficult and time-consuming to study something deeply. Philosophy is often tedious, but without deep knowledge of a topic, including a metaphysical and epistemological justification, I can't see how anybody can understand anything. Now, they might know various facts from textbook, but that doesn't mean they actually have a clue what they're talking about. See virtually any college undergraduate as an example. So it makes sense to assume people are wrong. And because of the sinister nature of philosophy, they're probably wrong about everything. When foundational beliefs are inaccurate, all of the beliefs which follow are likely inaccurate. It's like the root of a tree rotting, or the pillars of a house crumbling. For example, if somebody believes that the government exists independent of individuals, their entire political theory will include errors throughout. Whether or not they view taxation as theft will determine a massive amount of other beliefs. If they're wrong, their entire political worldview becomes poisoned because your conception of taxation is a justification for a myriad of other beliefs. So let me be clear, I'm no way making the case for intellectual dismissal. I'm not saying throw out people's ideas without evaluation. I'm really saying the opposite. Evaluate the ideas purely on their merit without any connection to the person communicating them. When you don't trust people or give their ideas some special treatment because of their expertise, you'll discover that nearly everybody's worldview is fuzzy and ill-justified. To me, it appears that the majority of people believe something by happenstance, by chronology and geography. In other words, they believe the ideas they heard first in school or from their parents and families. They end up believing what their neighbors believe, or what their broader culture teaches. Most people are entirely unaware of the silent presuppositions in their culture. They never experienced a contrast to their own worldview. The unquestioned social norms of a man born in New York will be wildly different than one born in Tokyo. At these beliefs are never examined or rigorously challenged, we have no reason to believe they're accurate. It seems most sensible to simply assume they're wrong and unjustified, unless proven otherwise. But we must go one step deeper. The assumption of error should also be paired with another friendly principle. The assumption of confusion. Not only are most people wrong, but they think they're right. They're confused. Rare is the man who is open-minded about what he doesn't know. Common is the man who will passionately defend his unjustified beliefs. Remember this when you listen to people argue and things become crystal clear. It's the blind arguing with the blind about the color of the sky. Now I realize this sounds curmudgeonly, and that's because it is. But if you aren't concerned about social condemnation, then you'll quickly realize the accuracy of this perspective. The same is true professionally. Most people seem to be fakers, who are excellent at giving the illusion of productivity and competence. Though by comparison, there seems to be many more competent professionals than competent thinkers.  I don't have any firm conclusions about the average person's capacity for accurate beliefs. I'm not judging their intelligence, but rather the accuracy of people's worldviews and the independence of their thought. The problem is, appropriately enough, the unchallenged beliefs that they hold. For example, we're taught from childhood to respect authority, whether it's the teacher, the cop, the parent, etc. The same happens in adulthood, where the experts become unquestioned authority figures. If somebody has a PhD, well by golly, of course they know what they're talking about. They couldn't have it become a professor otherwise. These beliefs, when critically evaluated and not taken for granted, start looking very shaky. Ever wonder why so many experts disagree on any given topic? Why professional economists claim such radically different things? It's because, necessarily, a large part of them are wrong. And they are wrong because they don't know what they're talking about. I am convinced that your average PhD in economics does not understand the basics. Surely some do, but I think the majority do not. Book knowledge, the understanding of facts and the opinions of other thinkers, does not constitute understanding. Under pressure, your average PhD will start revealing the contradictions and leaps of faith in his worldview. So how, then, can people who don't know what they're talking about become teachers and professors? The answer is simple. They know a little bit more information than average. They have a slight edge of knowledge, which gives the illusion of depth to people who cannot evaluate the ideas for themselves. It's like a race where you don't know by how much the winners won. It turns out, in the world of ideas, it's usually about a foot. The high school history teacher needs to understand the textbook just a hair more than the students. He doesn't need a deep, abstract understanding of a subject matter, and the same is true in college and in the workplace. The difference in real knowledge between your typical authority figure and regular folks is much smaller than we've been taught, and in some cases, it's razor thin or even non-existent. Other times, it's not even that an expert is wrong. It's that they don't care about the truth. Paul Krugman, for example, influences a lot of economic thinking, and he is a political hack. Thomas Piketty is now a household name for his fraudulent book about economics.  It's plain and simple. I have links in this article which demonstrate it. The man is disingenuous with a political agenda, and he cooked the books. Yet somehow, he's still regarded as an expert, and even an expert's expert, one of the most influential economists in existence. If this sounds preposterous, then don't take my word for it. Study a topic deeply, especially in the soft sciences, and find and evaluate all of the contrarian schools of thought you can find. And then judge the mainstream consensus. Chances are you'll start to see some large holes. To use a Wizard of Oz analogy, get up the courage and curiosity to peek behind the curtain and you may be shocked what you find. Now, in my defense, I didn't always believe this way. It's only through conversation and experience that I started to doubt people's authority. I used to be a flag-waving patriot, for example, before I started questioning my beliefs about political authority. But now, it seems clear as day, politicians are windbags.  Most people aren't as ill-intentioned as politicians, but for being honest, it seems reasonable to assume that everybody's worldview is equally inaccurate from the beginning until proven otherwise.


On December 1st, 2021, we are commemorating the 33rd World AIDS Day under the theme, End Inequalities, End AIDS, End Pandemics. 36 years ago, St Lucia documented its first case of HIV-AIDS.

TLO, what's poppin? We are on Twitch. We are live You can go and join us if you want if not that's cool Just leave a like comment subscribe turn on your post notification bells, man Let's continue to grow the family from Chicago to the UK. I Am here for educational purposes. I did not pay attention in high school especially in history class And I don't even they might not even talk this in history class you feel me I don't know because I wasn't listening So, you know I'm saying Let's learn it together learning with TLO anyway, um Don't get we do got the patreon. This is where you can you know I'm saying Come over here and just you know chill what it's vibe out. You know I'm saying the discord links down below You know I'm saying we've been busy today. I've been on I've been on I've been on twitch Since 11 30 a.m. It's 407 p.m. And we probably go to 4 30 Don't say that y'all Every time I go you not on what I was here six hours. I don't want to hear it Let's get into this man. The British crusades against slavery Okay Britain's crinly stupid attitudes to race and immigration are beyond parody by Frankie Boyle Okay, for those who aren't aware Frankie Boyle is a famous Scottish comedian We know who is most renowned for being pretty damn offensive Needless to say I'm a fan of his and so when Frankie Boyle writes an article for the Guardian of all places With the subtitle the anti-immigration election rhetoric is perverse We fear the arrival of people we have drawn here with the wealth we stole from them I can see the misinformation coming a mile away. So Frankie or from them. I Can see the sound about right the knife the misinformation coming a mile away. So Frankie begins the article by Waffling in an overly verbose manner reminiscent of Charlie Brooker another man who I I'm a fan of but has been led astray by misinformation and it's full of these sort of contradiction Well, you're gonna read these for us Are you gonna make us read them? Is that I'm sure sounded good when he was writing them, but when you actually think about it Airport departure they have already been a couple of amusing moments in the campaign when leaders standing in front of the union jack It's I'm not reading a rather silly I mean here he is pointing out the irony of the leaders being nationalist and warning about the Scottish National Party After making a crack about how the Scottish discovered Penicillin and taking credit for this for some reason and for some reason he seems to mix up the concepts of trade and immigration But these really aren't very important I'm not even bothered that he just assumes that an Australian style point system for immigration will obviously be a Racist system that caters exclusively to white people, you know This is despite the fact that Cambridge economics professor has warned the sheer scale of immigration has caused problems for the UK's Infrastructure which was largely built in the 70s, but you know what none of that really bothers me What really bothers me is Frankie Boyle's Attempts to make British people feel ashamed of Britain's involvement in the slave trade That really gets my goat because Britain's involvement in the slave trade is one of the most proud Accomplishments of British history, and I know what you're thinking. Oh my goodness slavery is bad and that's correct Which is why the British ended it for everyone if we just take a cursory look at the subject You can see how it is not nearly as cut and dried as Frankie makes it out to be even the very word slave Comes from slav because of the sheer number of slavs taken as slaves by conquering peoples But Frankie is trying to drum up white guilt So let's talk about African slavery the Portuguese were the first Europeans to start exploring the West Wait, wait Wait, let me finish this sandwich because I don't know we are eating class Stop African coast and the the Portuguese were the first Europeans to start exploring the West African coast and they did indeed capture African natives to be brought back to Portugal facts. I just watched the I Just watched the app that the uh, what was it African Queen the first queen woman lady Queen Ah Portugal as items of curiosity Europeans who traveled to Western Africa discovered that Western Africa had civilizations of its own for example a Dutch visitor to Benin city wrote in around 1600 as you enter it the town appears very great You go into a great broad street not paved which seems to be seven or eight times broader than the warmest street in Amsterdam The houses in this town stand in good order one close and even with the other As the houses in Holland stand More than a century earlier Benin exchanged ambassadors with Portugal the Portuguese did take a few Africans back to Europe But they didn't need to set up operations because they discovered that they were already Thriving slave trades in Africa And so they bought slaves from African rulers and traders The vast majority of slaves taken out of Africa were sold by African rulers Traders and military aristocracy who grew wealthy from the business Also as far as I know this is to be true as well Most slaves were acquired through wars or by kidnapping and before you start thinking that this is excessively barbaric This was the standard For almost every civilized society All across the world for example in ancient Greece Strabo tells us that the island of Delos trafficked in 10,000 slaves a day Even before the roman empire even when we're coming to the end of roman republic in the first century bc It's estimated that a third of italy was made up of slaves Slaves made up of people whom the romans had conquered and taken back to italy to do hard labor And so to anyone even slightly educated on this subject It is absolutely Unsurprising to find that for example in 1510 the capital of the empire of Songhai Was teeming with slaves Slave trading in west Africa was common, but it was different to what you expect It wasn't for commercial purposes as far as I know. Yes Civilizations in Africa did sell their their captures Like war captures like the people they caught in war Or other people Okay, it was to show status and to give the wealthy african elite A comfortable life and with the appearance of europeans desperate to buy slaves for use in the americas I heard it pushed the whole economy sometimes The character of african slave ownership changed Indeed it did the character of slavery on the west coast of africa Changed to look a lot more like the character of slavery on the east coast of africa Because we're going to talk about the arab slave trade specifically the circumstance of swahili speaking peoples Unsurprisingly the arabs being far closer to sub-saharan africa than the europeans had been taking advantage of it for far longer They were people with as much commercial naus as anyone else The ruling class of coastal swahili society sultans government officials and wealthy merchants Used non-muslim slaves as domestic servants and to work on farms and estates and they even had plantations Such as the omani sultan sayid side Who became immensely rich when he started up clove plantations in the 1820s with slave labor Arab muslims settled along the coast and intermixed with the locals Forming a people and culture known as swahili which started in around the 10th century ad So unsurprisingly the east africa slave trade was well established long before Sound like it was booming See this is the this is this is where i must have fell asleep in class about this part Europeans arrived on the scene and was driven by demands for labor by the sultanates of the middle east You might be thinking well, that's interesting if the arabs had been in africa for about a thousand years taking Sub-saharan african slaves Why isn't there a very large population of black people in arabia? And the answer to that is that the arabs used to castrate them cock and balls entirely a practice that was supposed to have ended in 1962 When slavery was finally outlawed in places like saudi arabia This of course does not mean that the trade has actually stopped It is still going on today It's impossible to know exactly how many slaves the arabs took from sub-saharan africa on the east coast Do i need to you know what i'm saying I might need to do that But one historian produced a total of 17 million slaves Yeah, yeah, all of this stuff is still happening around the world in certain places you know Downs it was that high But again, we can't know and it was for over a thousand down But one historian Arabs took from sub-saharan africa on the east coast But one historian produced a total of 17 million slaves I doubt it was that high, but again, we can't know and it was for over a thousand years that this was happening The point is that slavery was ubiquitous No matter where on earth you traveled You found slaves in europe in china in the middle east in the new world in india in scandinavia In africa slavery was as common an institution as animal husbandry The only thing that separated the christian nations of western europe from anyone else on earth Was the efficiency with which they could transport taken slaves And it should come as no surprise that this was made possible By advances in technology that the rest of the world simply didn't have The most common number i could find A lot of sometimes these videos that i'll be watching like this Uh, or when i hear people speak like this it It'd be sounding like they're trying to prove a point like they try to prove a point like Do you get what i'm saying like When i'll be listening to this i'll be like, okay, you're trying to prove a point. What is your point exactly? What are you trying to tell me? What are you trying to prove to me right now? You know because i'm drawing conclusions in my head that i might not be able to say You know what i'm saying? number of slaves transported by each european country portugal including brazil voyages 30,000 the eight Brazil was making it happen britain 12,002 million i'm not gonna lie man Britain was a lot more efficient than portugal even though They did 30,000 voyages and took 4 million Close to 5 million they did 12,000 and took close to 3 million now They did three times as many voyages that only took half as many more but Imagine if britain took 30,000 voyages Give what i'm saying british north america usa 1,500 300 000 denmarked france Okay Regarding the total number of slaves taken from africa by europeans was 11 million And that is in about a 400-year time span portugal took the most slaves with over four and a half million transported They did take the most slaves but they took 30,000 voyages But if we doing it like if we do a percentage-wide like For the new world There we go. Come on break that down then britain with over two and a half million Then spain and france totaling just under three million and just so no one is under any illusions Still feel like britain took the most by voyage This is am i wrong for 12,000 voyages for 2.6 million And france totaling just under three million and just so no one is under any illusions The transatlantic slave trade must have been close to hell on earth Slaves were taken from africa and packed into conditions So disgraceful and disgusting it is unsurprising that there was such exactly my boy Like that's what i'm trying to say like what are you trying to prove to me like other countries did it worse, but you still You still did it High mortality rate for the crossing as offensive as this is to look at We have to remember that this is a consequence of dehumanization The slaves were not people they were chattel it will obviously come as absolutely no surprise That the driving motivation behind slavery was economic portuguese merchants traded with africans from trading posts They set up along the coast They exchanged items like brass and copper bracelets for such products as pepper cloth beads and slaves All part of an existing internal african trade But the transatlantic slave trade really took off when christopher columbus discovered the new world The portuguese initially had a monopoly on the slave trade But this was broken in the 16th century when england followed by france and other european nations Entered the trade No go back The english led in the business of transporting young africans from their homeland to work and mines till Entire lands in the americas It's not exclude that we see that by france and other european nations entered the trade Unsurprisingly, this was a massively profitable trade For everyone involved except the slaves Africa's rulers traders and military aristocracy Protected their interest in the slave trade They discouraged europeans from leaving the coastal areas to venture to the interior of the continent european trading companies realized the benefit of dealing with african suppliers and not unnecessarily antagonizing them The companies could not have mustered the resources it would have taken to directly capture the tens of millions of people shipped out of africa It was far more sensible and safer to give africans guns to fight in the many wars that yielded captives for trade The slave trading network stretched deep into african's interior slave trading firms were aware of their dependency on african suppliers And these african suppliers So like i said earlier, i just watched that movie the woman king And i'm not even if y'all have not seen woman king The woman king like literally Everything that's being broken down right here was in woman king Everything everything dude is saying and everything that i'm reading Was was in the woman king Were making insane amounts of money For example, the king of benin was making 250 000 a year selling people into slavery in 1750 and his successor said in the What is that? What does that translate to 250 000 a year? In 1750, what would that be in today's money? 250 what is that? I feel like that's like a trillion dollars Let me look it up. Thanks. No. No somebody look it up in the chat The 1840s that he would do anything the british wanted him to do apart from giving up the slave trade Quote the slave trade is the ruling principle of my people It is the source and the glory of their wealth The mother lulls the child to sleep with notes of triumph over an enemy reduced to slavery With an industry so profitable to so many people involved And so widespread as to be common to almost every nation on earth And the whole plot in the woman king, I know like you can't really compare movies, but this is very comparable I'm not even gonna lie. This is like spot on to what everything that's in what it do do's talking about was in the woman king That's what they were saying they were conquering they were they were having fights between Africans versus Africans And whoever was caught a casualty of war or a captive They were slow on the on the boat on the boat on the borders Of the african coast like this is literally Same exact thing What they were talking about, you know, I'm saying even though these movies be not real is based on slight realness Especially a movie like that with the british Want king gazo to give up the slave trade? Well, we need to turn back the clock to 1066 and the battle of hastings When a french-speaking duke of viking descent Called william the bastard Defeated king herald godwinson of england william the bastard was Refashioned as william the conqueror and took the crown of england Okay, and one of the first things he did as king of england was to have the entire country Inventoryed this record was known as the doomsday book and we still have it Thanks to this hard work. We know the 250 thousand dollars In 1750 is 70 million dollars And that's british right britain pounds. That's in pounds Around 1086 10 of the recorded population of england was slaves 20 years earlier when it went to this hard work We know that around 1086 10 of the recorded population of england was slaves 20 years earlier when he had first conquered england William had enacted a series of laws One of which prohibited the slave trade out of england I prohibit the sale of a man by another outside of the country on pain of a fine paid in full to me I prohibit the sale of any man by another by another outside of the country But inside what about in We don't know what william's motivation for making this law was But given that the punishment for breaking it was a fine I doubt it was for humanitarian reasons Whatever his reasons within a generation of 1086 slavery had almost died out in england Presumably because william the conqueror had outlawed the trade of slaves There appears to also have been a trend for lords to endow their slaves to perform their plowing functions As free plowmen while not a wonderful state of affairs Serfdom is better than chattel slavery and this state of affairs was solidified by the church at the synod of west minstering 1102 where the church Denounced simony clerical marriages and slavery. This made england a very unique case There probably wasn't another country in the world at this time that had outlawed slavery There were practically no motivations to do so It was incredibly lucrative Endemic to the point of normalcy So it wasn't even viewed as immoral And the chances are william the conqueror himself made the slave trade in england illegal Just so he could make a quick buck Fast forward 700 years and the international transatlantic slave trade is in full swing And yet we still do not have slaves in england and this is where we meet a man named grandville sharp A very well educated Rationalist thinker of the enlightenment Who became an active campaigner for the abolition of the slave trade grandville had had previous legal success defending jonathan strong From his erstwhile slave master after being brought to england from the colonies But we're going to look at the subsequent summer sets case james summer set was a It's crazy how y'all pronounce words subsequent subsequent That's not the first word i heard but that's the first time i'm gonna address it I don't know i'm just probably pronouncing it right slave from virginia in america Who had come to england brought to england from the colonies But we're going to look at the subsequent summer sets case James summer set was a slave from virginia in america Who had come to england with his master charl stewart in 1769 and had run away in october 1771 After evading slave hunters employed by stewart for 56 days Summer set had been caught put onto the slave ship ann and mary to be taken to jamaica and sold Three londoners had applied to lord mansfield for a group of habeas corpus Which had been granted with summer set having to appear at a hearing on the 24th of january in 1772 members of the public responded to the plight by sending money to pay for his lawyers In any event gave their services pro bono publico While stewart's costs were met by the west indian planters and merchants Given his prior legal experience with the jonathan strongcase sharp briefed summer sets lawyers The judgment was delivered on the 22nd of june 1772 And it was a clear victory for summer set sharp and the lawyers who had acted for summer set Mansfeld acknowledged that english law did not allow slavery and only a new act of parliament could bring it into legality The verdict established one thing very clearly a slave becomes free the moment he sets foot on english soil And this was according to lord mansfield That the air of england is too pure for any slave to breathe no matter what reason william the conqueror at lord slave This was according to lord mansfield that the air of england is too pure for any slave to breathe no matter what reason William the conqueror at lord slavery for by the time this judgment was drawn by lord mansfeld It had become a point of principle This precedent wasn't set for Mansfield's personal interests. This precedent was set to determine right from wrong. Granville Sharp went on to co-found the Society for effecting the abolition of the slave trade with fellow like-minded Enlightenment thinkers. Like-minds. The abolition of the slave trade with fellow like-minded Enlightenment thinkers. And after 20 long years of campaigning in parliament, which I won't detail here, they were successful in their goal of abolishing the international slave trade in 1807. Now, if you know anything about 1807, you'll know that this was during the War of the Fourth Coalition, where Napoleon Bonaparte was savaging great powers all across the... It sounds familiar. If I was awakened history class, you know, it's never too late to learn anything. ...European continent. The Napoleonic War Bonaparte was savaging great powers all across the European continent. The Napoleonic Wars led to new territorial acquisitions for Britain, and helped stuff parliament with more abolitionists than they had before, which is why the bill providing for the abolition of the slave trade to conquered territories triumphantly passed in both houses. And the following year, this was superseded by a stronger measure that outlawed the British Atlantic slave trade altogether. But, given...  But, given the raging war in Europe, it was rather difficult to enforce due to a paucity of available resources. After 1807, the Society of the Abolition of the Slave Trade, having achieved its goals, became the African Institution, whose principal aim was to ensure the new legislation was enforced and that other countries followed Britain's example. Persuading other countries to join Britain outlawing the slave trade proved more difficult. Obviously. Or they're going by, if you lead, they'll follow? No. This is a lucrative thing to them. And yes, it's wrong. But when money is involved with anything, that's going to be it. Despite the efforts of the African Institution and those of British Ministers, the Congresses of Paris and Vienna in 1814 and 1815 both failed to reach a specific agreement. Given that this was at the end of the Napoleonic Wars, it's hardly surprising that there was French opposition. Where diplomacy had failed, the Royal Navy had to succeed. It's one thing declaring a writ that people may no longer profit from the trading of human beings. It's another thing to enforce that. Enter the West African Squadron. The West Africa Squadron was a detachment of the Royal Navy that was given the task of blockading Africa, the continent, to make sure that slave traders were not taking slaves to the Americas. Needless to say, in 1807... Who else? Anybody else heard of that before? I ain't never heard of that. I don't go back. The task of blockading Africa. I don't go back. No, no, no. I like the name. Enter the West African Squadron. The West African Squadron was a detachment of the Royal Navy that was given the task of blockading Africa, the continent, to make sure that slave traders were not taking slaves to the Americas. Needless to say, in 1807, there was only a token force performing this operation, comprising of two ships. This number was increased to five ships until the War of 1812 with the United States. But after 1815, with Britain victorious in Europe and Supreme Sea, the Royal Navy turned its attention back to the challenge. The institution of slavery was formally abolished in the British Empire in 1833. And by the 1850s, around 25 vessels and 2,000 officers and men were on the station, supported by nearly 1,000 crewmen. Experienced fishermen recruited as sailors from what is now the coast of modern Liberia. It's worth noting that this was not a pleasant job. And the mortality rate was five times higher compared with fleets in the Mediterranean or in home waters. To help incentivize the crew, money was actually given to each crew per slave that they freed. But there was a real zeitgeist in Britain for the abolition of slavery. A real what? Freed. But there was a real zeitgeist in Britain. Zeitgeist? For the abolition of slavery. For example, the pursuit and capture of slave ships became celebrated naval engagements, widely reported back in peacetime Britain. They became a source of national pride. So it's no wonder that many of the crews really did have an evangelical zeal about the anti-slavery patrolling. However, I don't want to give the impression that this was all for humanitarian reasons. Yeah, no, there had to be some type of monetary. There's no doubt that Britain in her foreign policy used her anti-slavery laws as a stick with which to beat her opponents. Primarily the Spaniards and the Portuguese were refused to conform to these demands. Britain demanded Spain, Portugal and the very new nation of Brazil to declare slave trading to be piracy. And while these nations paid lip service to these principles, they failed to enforce them, which led to a British blockade of Brazil. So they said they were going to do it, but never did it. Britain, this was Brazil, Portugal and Spain? By 1850, which of course forced the nascent Brazilian Empire to capitulate. And it didn't end there. In the 1860s, David Livingston reports of Arab atrocities against the slave Africans stirred up the interest of the British public, reviving the flagging abolitionist movement. Throughout the 1870s, the Navy attempted to suppress this abominable eastern trade at Zanzibar in particular. Needless to say, the British Navy continued their mission against the slavers across the Indian Ocean. The abolition of slavery became the British project. It captured the hearts and minds of the entire country from the highest lord to the lowest peasant. This is certainly how the British saw it. For example, this spirit of chivalry, we see it in acts of heroism by land and sea in fights against the slave trade. Alfred Tennyson, the unwary, unostentatious and inglorious crusade of England against slavery may probably be regarded as among the three or four perfectly virtuous pages comprised in the history of nations. William Lecky. All of this was done against the vested financial interests of hundreds of thousands of people. Entire nations were against the idea of abolishing slavery and the slave trade. The very notion was alien to the human existence until Britain made it happen. In the 19th century, if you saw a ship bearing down on you, flying this flag and you were a slave trader, you knew that this flag stood for liberty. This was the flag of a nation that defied human convention for a point of principle and spent its blood, sweat, tears and treasure to enforce it on the world. This is the flag of the nation that accepted the absolute moral truth that slavery is wrong. No matter what riches can be amassed, no matter what power can be gained, no matter the cost, slavery had to be abolished. That was the British Crusade. When Britain held the reins of world power, that is what she did with it. So Frankie, to be honest with you, when you say we have streets named after slave owners, we have profited from a vile crime and feel no shame. It is British people that don't learn languages or British history. Britain is the true scrounger, the true criminal. The real comedy in this video is that this was made in response to a Frankie Boyle advert, well not an advert, Frankie Boyle column in The Guardian. I have to concur. British people apparently do not learn British history because Britain's involvement in the slave trade is one of the most proud moments any nation could have had in their history. I want to make one thing crystal clear, Frankie. You live in a world without slavery because of Britain. There you came, Frankie. You know what I'm saying?  What was I saying? It's crazy that like two people from Britain, from the UK, have two completely opposite takes on it. You know what I'm saying? There's always three takes to a story. The left, the right, then the truth. So, you know, till I leave a like, comment, subscribe, turn on your post notification bells. Hope you enjoyed class, man. We're gone.


Okay, so next up is Sherry with Metrics and Logs in a unified solution. Thank you. Hi everyone, my name is Sherry, I work at Red Hat on the open project. I would like to talk to you today about Metrics and Logs in an unified solution and I do it fast because I'm selecting the day on five minutes. So when we talk about Metrics, we usually talk about time series data and key value pairs, like CPU usage or manual usage. And when we talk about logs, we usually talk about semi-structured data that includes timestamp and the message itself, maybe a little bit of metadata like log level. So both Metrics and Logs are time based. When you search for a submission, we wanted a submission that you can aggregate all this data to a central location. And to be able to add additional metadata like tags and labels to the data before it is sent to the central location, so you can slice and dice the data. You've all heard, if you've heard the discussion before, they talked about it a lot. It's important, like where data comes from, which cluster, which environment. And for both Metrics and Logs, we want to be able to do actions like learning or visualization and analysis. So in open source, we have several components that relates to monitoring. First are the Collectors, the Collected Metrics and Logs from the environment. For Metrics, we have PCP, CollectD, and Prometheus. We also have Office Log, FluidD, Telegraph, and Logspatch. In visualization, like you've seen before, we have Rufana, Kibana, and Chronograph, very fast to be. And for Logs analysis, basically the most common is Kibana. For learning, we have Prometheus, Capacitor, Sentinel, and Elastalert for Elastic Search. So what we wanted to achieve in having both Metrics and Logs in one solution, less maintenance, less upgrades, less components that we need to support. This was very important for us. An additional value that we have when we combine Metrics and Logs in one solution is that you can correlate between them. So if you have an error in Logs, you want to understand what's going on, you can go and see the dashboard. In one dashboard, you can see that in that time, your disk is going that specific host. The disk can pinpoint your issues, read that. And when we examined the foreign stacks, Elastic Search, Prometheus, Graphite, and Influx, the main issue for us, the first point was whether it was fully open source. So we took out Influx before the equation. And we wanted to have Logs and Metrics, of course, support, a flexible schema, long-term storage, and be able to scale the monitoring solution for large environments. So for the open project, what we chose for the collectors, for the Metrics, we chose CollectD, FluidD for Logs, Kibana for, and Graphana for visualization, and Kibana for Logs analysis. For Logs, it is still to be decided. So what I wanted to take out of this presentation is that having both Metrics and Logs in one solution is less maintenance. A lot more, when you have one solution, you need to have less maintenance, less upgrades, as I said before, and you get a value of correlation. Thank you. If you want to see the Metrics, I can show you tomorrow. Thank you very much. Next up is Brian.


Hello, I'm Neil from Tightwad Dads. This is gonna be a weird video. I've come to London today. I'm shooting this on my phone I don't even know if it's here in focus. I'm going to log what I'm spending today on so that my family gets to see what I do So the first thing I spent on was this my train ticket 23 pounds 30 I guess I could put that up on the screen the amount of joy it brought me is probably a nine because look it brought me here So it's a bleak day in London. My my toe is still bust. Let's have a look Borrowed a sock from my long-suffering wife the outer sock is fluffy white stripey one But where I'm going next is somewhere very special Yep, it's one of these they've got some computer problems the restaurant's nice and empty I know my son do really jealous, but honestly the joy was about a five We're going to find somewhere else to sit now for one hour So I'm going to a quiet area now, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to film. I'll maybe sneak a shot That was free because I've already paid and the joy is about 10 that's really nice Now I'm gonna cross the river again one more time. I've got to be in topical rope by three o'clock for a meeting Time for a bus now I can't I can't walk all the way out there. I don't know how much it's gonna cost There it goes 10 the joy there was 10 I've got five minutes to spare so time that really well So the least he went well, it's now half four. There's a taxi protest here It's really Cost was high And all the joy are divide the choice like an average joy Hey, please help my daddy get 1000 subscribers just click on his face


Good afternoon Gary. I know you ask this question every week but I'm going to phrase it slightly differently. This is now your sixth week in the job, going into your fifth game in the job. The more you do the role, do you get more of a taste for it? Do you start to feel more part of the furniture here and that you could do it permanently? I think I aim to manage a football team permanently. That has always been my goal since I started coaching. The more I do this, the better I'm going to get at it. But it doesn't change my outlook on what's going on here. I'm really happy with the situation as it is and happy to take it game by game. But you will start to feel more part of the furniture here as well. Even if a new manager at this stage were to come in, you'd want to stay on as first team coach because the players obviously have that respect for you now. I think I've been here a relatively long time in football now anyway. So I feel at home here because I've been here for 18 months. I get on great with everybody from upstairs with Richard Hughes, Neil Blake, to the guys that we work closely with over in the pavilion and the training ground. So yeah, I love it here and no rush to get away. Obviously it's still unbeaten under your management as well. But it has been two months to the day now that home fans saw a goal here. It's the hardest thing to do when you're a newly promoted club is score goals in the Premier League. But how do you get that elusive goal here in front of the home fans? Firstly, I think two months to the day is very misleading because we had one home game called off. One was against Arsenal that is obviously going to be tough to score in and obviously I wasn't taking the team at that point. So we've failed to score against Wolves and Brentford at home which obviously is what it is. We'd like to score goals against Wolves and Brentford. We're working at it. But the boys have really brought something in the last few weeks that has given us a chance to be competitive in every game and we hope to stay like that. Of course we want to cause teams more problems than we have going forward but not at the expense of causing ourselves problems. You will be aware as a player of your experience and a coach of your experience that there is such thing as a good and bad time to play teams and as recently as four or five days ago Lester looked short of confidence and now they've got that big first win of the season under their belt they'll be coming here with a bit more confidence wouldn't they? Yeah, I think having watched all their games they were very unfortunate to be on one point before the first game against Man United. They were dominant, controlled the ball really good side. Tottenham, very, very good away at Tottenham. I lost very late on but were the dominant side so they're a very, very good team. The result against Nottingham Forest didn't surprise me. I thought that was coming for them. I expected them to turn it around and I don't expect them to be anywhere near the bottom of the table come the end of the season looking at how they've played the last few weeks. I've got a top coach, top players. So yeah, it's going to be a real test for us. Just one final question for me. The man who continues to get all the plaudits in the Premier League and in Europe now as well, Erlin Harland, Bournemouth remain the only club that he hasn't scored against all season. So are any managers trying to pick up the phone and say, Gary, what's the secret to sub Erlin Harland? I wasn't taking that game so I can take no credit for that. Oh, you were on the dugout? Yeah, so nobody has called me yet and my phone's on do not disturb most of the time at the minute because we're quite busy. What is the secret? How do you stop him? I don't know. I don't know. If you stop him, someone else will score against you for Man City as we found. Gary, just picking up on what Jamie said there about the goals. Obviously Leicester have shipped five and six in a couple of recent games as well. Given the two home games you had against Wolves and Brentford and two defensively solid and well set up teams, does Leicester coming here present you with a better opportunity to try and improve those goalscoring stats? Yeah, maybe. I think it is a different test. Leicester, they're extremely good with the ball. They've dominated possession in every game they've played. I think they've had more than their fair share. So they're a real good side with the ball. There are opportunities to try and hurt them if we can be good enough in our moments. Yeah, I think this club, even if you go back a long way back to the winter garden, meetings and things, they're used to being sort of underdogs and we strive and we succeed and we're really comfortable with that. It's something that one of our big strengths is that this club has always managed to find a way to fight against the odds. Most games at this level we're going to be underdogs and that's fine from outside but that's not what we believe in the changing room. We're always ready. We believe we can be competitive and Leicester coming here gives us another opportunity to hopefully show how strong and resilient we are defensively but also to cause them problems. With the way you've solidified things you might feel maybe your expectations starting to rise with people thinking you should be winning home games against bottom half teams. Do you take that as a compliment in a way that doesn't affect me at all? I just look at Leicester as the next challenge. Wolves and Brentford are gone obviously. We reviewed them and we learned from them things that we did well, things that we didn't do so well and we try and improve them. So Leicester coming is just a completely new challenge for us. On to the last of a couple of individuals briefly and Marcus Sinesi who obviously came in with a baptism of fire trying to stop Man City and Liverpool. I know you've commented a couple of weeks about that and his attitude in training. I think you might agree he's been one of the standout players the last couple of weeks defensively. How much progress has he made and how much has he needed these last couple of games to help him settle? He's made loads of progress. Came from a team and a league that was very different to what he was going to come up against here. He had to work hard. We had to work hard with him to help him adapt and I think to go to St James's Park and put in a display that he did and then to come up against Ivan Tony and some of the pressure that Brentford put on him and stand up to it shows that he's come a long way in the last few weeks and we continue to work with him and try and help him improve. And has George De Gaulle made similar progress having had a tough start to life in the Premier League? Yeah, I mean Jay-Z's great. He's relentless in his attitude. He's always smiling, always bubbly, always ready to work, always ready to improve. And yeah, so when Jay-Z, whenever asked, he's always willing to carry out whatever you ask him. So yeah, great lad and he'll continue to improve. Of course he's only young, loads of improvement left in him. So similar to most of the boys really. We work with all of them on areas we feel we can help them. Just finally, for me as an England fan, would you like to see Jay's Madison and the England World Cup squad? I hope Saturday dents his chances. But yeah, I haven't really thought about it. And yeah, I don't know, I can't, there's so many good players in around it. I haven't looked at the numbers or who should or who shouldn't. I'll stick to trying to pick my own squad. Hi Gary, can I just get an injury roll call if we start with Joe Waltham and Chris? Yeah, they've had a really good week. Both of them have trained all week with us. Really good to get them back out there. So yeah, that's been a positive. And Lloyd Kelly, how's he doing? Yeah, Lloyd won't be with us again this weekend. He's obviously a week closer than he was last week. But yeah, this weekend comes too quick for him. And then Ryan Fredericks and Junior Stas, they weren't in the matchday squad last weekend. Are they available for selection this week? So they've both had good weeks. Ryan Fredericks has been really promising on the grass, done some really good work. Junior's coming along as well, maybe not quite so far along as Ryan, Ben and Joe. But Junior's made good strides. This weekend's theme is no-ring for racism. How much more inclusive do you feel like the game is now compared to when you were playing? Yeah, there's a huge difference, I think, just the education around it. I remember being a young footballer in some circumstances. I think it was away in Lithuania or somewhere as in England under 19.  Whereas now I think we've made big strides, of course we can still improve, but for the education around it and how everyone feels around it now has come on a long way. This year's theme is allies.  Yeah, it's massive. Whenever you're going through difficult times, having people around you that can help and making sure we're there for the boys if there's any issues around it is huge. So, yes, real positive.
