All right. So mysticism, I mean, one of the great frustrations of all of us, I think, one of the great frustrations of anybody rational in the world in which we live today is the extent to which people are irrational, the extent to which you can argue facts, you can discuss science, you can present evidence, and it doesn't seem to matter. People are oblivious seemingly to facts, reality, evidence, science, reason. And this is shocking in many respects, given that we live in the 21st century. We live in a century where science is already well-established and is shown to be efficacious. We saw that in its application to the industrial evolution, to going to the moon, to the computers we have in front of us, to the myriad of gadgets that we all play around with. That's science in action. All of that is science in action. It's reason in action. It's rationality in action. It's our understanding of the facts of reality and our ability to change reality, but to manipulate reality based on scientific knowledge. And yet in spite of all that, in spite of the fact that everybody out there uses the technology and takes for granted the state of the world, the advanced technological state in which we live, benefits from everything that the industrial evolution have given us, and that in spite of all that, it seems like people are again oblivious to facts. And they're not really interested in facts. They're not interested in evidence. They're interested in whatever tribal disputes they happen to be engaged in right now and where you're on versus where everybody else is on. They're interested in their emotions. They're interested in their fears. They're interested in the latest hysteria and panic. They're interested in what their leaders tell them to be interested in. And their leaders could be anywhere from a conspiracy theory podcaster to the president of the United States to, I don't know, some guru at the World Economic Forum or Buddhist or their preacher on one of the televangelist TV shows. It's everywhere. And as I said, we're living a 21st century. It is surprising. One of the trends that we have seen since the Enlightenment, really, dominantly in the West is the slow decline in religion, certainly in Europe, but even in the United States. We saw for a long period of time the marginalization of religion, particularly from public life, but from many aspects of life to the growth recently in people who say that they don't have a religious affiliation. So for example, the share of America is holding no religious affiliation has risen from 6% in 1991. I think this is according to Pew study, to 28% in 2021. 28% of Americans say they have no religious affiliation. You'd think that would reduce mysticism. It also means that 72% of Americans in the 21st century have a religious affiliation. I don't even know if religious affiliation means their believers or what exactly it means. But in 2021, you'd think that this would be the era of science, reason, evidence, facts, but even this so-called secularization of America in this 21st century is a mirage. According to a Pew survey, 41% of Americans believe in psychics. 41% believe in psychics. 29% of Americans believe in astrology. And many of them seek astrological guidance. They're apps. It's got sophisticated, right? You don't just do like, you know, the astrology thing in the newspaper anymore. Now you've got apps. There's an app called Costa, which uses NASA data coupled with quote methods of professional astrologers, including algorithms to generate insights about your personality and your future. If you want to know your future, go to Costa. Mystical services market is a $2.1 billion market in the United States. Astrology apps. So even though Americans might be less officially religious, less affiliated with a particular church, and indeed church attendance in the United States has dropped dramatically over the last 30 years, by about a third. It doesn't seem to matter in a sense of they've exchanged Catholicism, Protestantism, whatever their particular religious affiliation used to be now with a bunch of supernatural mumbo jumbo nonsense. And even atheists, right? There's been research that finds that most atheists, most atheists in the United States, I don't know what this is like in Europe. Maybe one of you can tell me, in the United States, embrace at least one set of beliefs encompassing astrology, karma, supernatural beings, and other mystical phenomena among evangelicals. They combine their belief in a particular God, in a Christian God with one-fifth of Egypt, where Angelica's believe in reincarnation. Valduan says, I should become a psychic and tell people their future, and they will pay. I'm telling you the future. I've been telling you the future for years now.  Some of you listen, some of you don't. Some of you argue, some of you don't. Generally, Christians of all stripes are not just religious, but combine the religiosity with all kinds of mystical stuff. But also, one of the interesting things about, I think, Christianity in America is that because the Protestants believe in this relationship you have with God, and that you are in a position to interpret in a sense the teachings of Jesus as an individual, what you see is a complete fragmentation of the church, and a vast variety of teachings coming out of religion. All equally mystical, of course, but all kinds of fragmented beliefs. So, I often tell pro-capitalist Christians that they actually love Tom Shepson more than they do Jesus, and they love the Constitution more than they love the New Testament, so they take those documents, and they take Jesus, and they kind of squeeze and morph them into what they want them to believe, but they're stronger believers in America. That's the best of them, of course. But there's definitely a prevalence in our culture of mysticism, supernaturalism, and in a sense, what that means is there's a rejection of reason, the rejection of human consciousness, of the particular means by which human consciousness functions, and the embrace, the embrace of mystical means of knowledge. And once you understand the extent to which this is true, then it's not surprising then that you get cure-non conspiracy theories. It's not surprising then that you get the vast array of non-scientific approaches to COVID, all the way from people who, I guess, wear masks to the shower, and maybe when they're swimming, I don't know, all the way to people who reject vaccinations for everybody, no matter the evidence, and hypothesize about maybe in 20 years there'll be some damage to yourself because of the vaccine. It's not surprising if what we have is a populace that rejects, fundamentally rejects science. So let's think about what mysticism is, and here I'm going to refer quite a lot to Inran's writings about mysticism. This is primarily out of the Inran lexicon, so these are highlights from what she's written about mysticism, which she's written generally, these are highlights that relate to mysticism. So this is from the section on mysticism in the Inran lexicon, which is a great resource available, free, online. All you have to do is type in Inran lexicon, and you can get some of these amazing polls of wisdom from Inran. So what is mysticism? Inran writes, mysticism is the acceptance of allegations without evidence or proof, either apart from or against the evidence of one's senses and one's reason. So mysticism is the acceptance of something devoid of proof, or that contradicts the evidence. I was just reading that somebody wrote this long letter to Trump complaining about the fact that he's had it, he's fed up, because time after time after time after time, the QAnon predictions are not coming true. I mean, how many of these predictions have to not come true before you stop believing in QAnon? Well, I know the answer to that, and you guys know the answer to that, because how many of the predictions of every religious sect in history didn't come true, and then yet people continue to believe in that sect, continue to believe in the ideology, facts. Don't let facts, don't let evidence ever interrupt with your mystical beliefs. QAnon being a good example of those completely utterly mystical beliefs. But that's true of, you know, you can take people and you've got all these smart people and, you know, they're arguing about what we need is to, you know, and you've got, this is in Europe primarily, but now in the US, we've got to stop using fossil fuels and we have to, we have to shut down nuclear energy and we have to cut emissions to zero and we can increase the number of jobs and increase the prosperity and everybody's going to be rich and we're not going to miss any CO2 and we're basically going to run the whole world on renewables, you know, which ones, well primarily solar panels in the UK and Germany and windmills in the UK and Germany. And you point out just basic facts about how this is clearly an impossibility. You can't generate enough electricity, what happens when there's no wind, what happens when the sun doesn't shine, which is most of the time in the UK and Germany and they just blank out. They're not interested in the evidence of the census. They're not interested in reason and facts and evidence. There's no, there's no communication going on. There is a dogma. There is an accepted truth that they have received from somewhere. We'll talk about where they get that in a minute. And they live by that and they're not interested in anything else. They're not interested in the facts. One of the people says pixie dust and magic beans. Yes, pixie dust and magic beans. And you could argue with them all you want. You can give them facts and evidence and numbers and drafts and statistics. And it doesn't matter because none of it actually registers. Knowledge for mystic is not accessible to me humans. It's not accessible to reason, to facts, to evidence, to our senses. Einwand writes mysticism is the claim to some non-sensory, non-rational, non-definable, non-identifiable means of knowledge, such as quote instinct, quote intuition, quote revelation or any form of quote just knowing. They just know. Now many of them present the guise of science because they just know that science gives them respectability. Science is legit. Science lets them pretend that they're in the 21st century and that they're pro-progress and pro-reason and pro- but as soon as you question them a little bit, as soon as you challenge them just a little bit, immediately, immediately they go all emotion on you. Immediately they go all just knowing who are you, 95% of all scientists, whatever, whatever. Is it 98? It's 98%. 95 is too low. 98 is a bit of number. There's no argument. There's no argument. And note what Einwand notes as mystical, you know, instinct, intuition, revelation. I mean it's interesting because I was thinking as I was reading this that to some extent the evolutionist psychologists are mystics. The whole idea of rejecting free will, if you reject free will, you're really rejecting cognition, control over cognition. It's all automatized. It's all inevitable. It's all just happens. It's all just intuitive. It's all just instinctual. So who are you to question me? Whatever, whatever. I know, I know. I just know. How do I know it? Because evolution programmed me that way. It's amazing when I read Einwand how much of what she says is so applicable to stuff today, even stuff that wasn't really being discussed. And in the end, the mystics will always say they just know they have expertise that is not accessible to others. And sometimes they use science as the guise for that. And you see that in the debate about abortion, light begins at conception.  There's no human being at conception. There's DNA. But it's complete emotionalism. Or we're all going to die from the climate.  It's never actually worked when we examine the facts of reality. We don't see socialism working. They just know. They don't need the proof. They know. And then now they work backwards. They start with the knowledge of socialism being right and just. And now they will reinterpret all of reality to justify the idea that socialism, I mean, socialism used to be at least Marx pretended that it was scientific, right? So it was based on a scientific theory of a theory of history and the evolution of history and an observation of the world and the alienation of the workers and a certain understanding of how capitalism evolves. Yeah. And a lot of people bought into that. A lot of people bought into it. And then it was tried. And then it failed dramatically. And then they said, well, tell us science. Now we'll just believe in socialism and they're all with the past. They're all with trying. We'll just lie about it. We'll just make stuff up because for mystic knowledge and truth don't come from the world. To a mystic knowledge and truth come from another dimension. They come from somewhere else. I mean, in religion, it's fairly simple. They come from God. And for the critical race theories, the racist, the reject of free will, they come from your genes. Truth comes from your genes.  How do you detect the truth? Who knows? So the mystic has to assume this other dimension. But how does he actually commune with the other dimension? Because we know there isn't one. So how does he fall himself into thinking there's another dimension? Where does he actually get stuff from? Where does he get the truth from? The truth in quotes. What really two sources? The two places in which the mystic gets truth from. Ultimately, it's only one, but it manifests itself in two ways. One is from other people, mistakes. And here, unfortunately, this is true of what seemingly is a majority of people out there. So end of their mind. They've given up on their mind. They're not going to challenge. As soon as they encounter other people, the majority, the people in power, the charismatic people, or the people that influenced them when they were young, as soon as they encounter other people, they suppress their own thinking and accept what the other says. A mystic is afraid of his own independence. How can he trust it? How can he know it? What would he do with it? He'd have to stand up against the mob. Much easier to join them up. So mystic usually at a very young age, and again, the sad thing is this is true of most people maybe. The mystic surrenders his mind at a very young age to others, to the authority of others, to the authority of the authoritarian on whatever topic we're talking about. The authority of the charismatic teacher, the charismatic broadcaster, the charismatic fearmonger that is on the news, or that is in is teaching the class. So Ayn Rand writes, and I love this, this is a great sentence, faith in the supernatural, any supernatural, begins as faith in the superiority of others. It begins in a sense with lack of self-esteem. It begins with surrendering your own mind to other people. And that leads you to surrender your own mind to the Almighty or to the fortune teller or to whatever. And what guides you in terms of which other people you should surrender your mind to? What guides you in terms of what you should believe in? What you should have faith in? Whether it's explicit religion or whether it's your political views or whether it's your views about generally the world, where do you get these truths from? Other people more broadly, but how do you choose which people? At the end of the day, once you give up on reason, there's only one other source and that is your emotions. If you're not going by reason, you're going by emotion.  How are you going to choose? Reasons out. Whoever makes you feel better, whoever makes you feel more secure, whoever makes, says something that sparks a more positive feeling in you or flip side of that, whoever generates the most fear in you. People are immensely motivated by fear, mystics have always been motivated by fear and the witch doctors who might present themselves as scientists, the witch doctors, know this and understand this and refine the skill of inducing fear in people because when people are afraid they're looking for solutions, they want to believe in something they want and out. And if they've given up on reason, they've given up on facts, they've given up on reality, they've given up on science, then what are they left with other than their emotion other than following the leader, other than in jumping on the bandwagon of the power luster of the moment? So one of the common ways in which to induce mysticism in a culture, and this unfortunately Western philosophy has done for the last 200 years, is to teach skepticism, it's to embrace skepticism, it's to pound skepticism constantly. How do you know? Nothing no absolutes, nothing is knowable, you can't trust your mind, you can't trust your senses, you can't trust, you know maybe the sun will come up tomorrow, maybe it won't. It's a skeptics by making people believe, by encouraging people to believe, by teaching people to believe in the unknowable that the reason is not capable of giving them absolutes, the reason is not capable of teaching them about reality. Well then how do we know what to do? How are we going to survive out there in the world? How are we going to achieve anything? How are we going to feed ourselves? How are we going to get anything? Well if not by reason then by emotion and there's always a witch doctor, there's always a witch doctor just waiting around the corner to capitalize on your skepticism, to capitalize on your desire to believe and your rejection of reason at the same time.

Oh, it's kind of bright. Anybody wanna hang out, chat like the old days, except for instead of telephones now, we just do it online. I'm just popping in to see how everybody's doing. I keep looking over here when my camera's over there. Oh, I have a thumbs up, but I don't have any viewers. How does that even happen?  Hello, Teresa. Happy Sunday. Hi, Anna Maria. Hi, Tracy. Hi, girls. What's going on? Hi, Carol. You know, here's the thing. Maybe we were just live yesterday or the day before. Why do you keep doing this? Why not?  Hi, Angie. You know, in the old days, I was that friend who would call you 45 times a day on the phone just to talk. Hello, Roberta. Happy Sunday evening, probably to where all you guys are. I'm sitting here with my lotion and my hands because it's very dry. I know, Carol, but it's nice, isn't it? I love it. I know we talk about this all the time, but. Anna Maria's bored. She just ate dinner. I might have to put on my spectacles. Oh, they're very, very dirty. Hi, Betty. So Steve just went in to take a little nappy. It's three o'clock here. And I thought I would just hop on, see which of my pals were around if anybody felt like just talking, if anybody is bored like Anna Maria or isn't leaving the house. Now, I don't wanna talk about what's going on in our world right now because in my mind, we can go anywhere and talk about that. Am I right? So let's be different. 550, so it's 250 here, two, three, four, five. I'm a mathematician. Let's see if that helped.  So what's everybody been doing today? How's everybody doing on their program? This is why I ask. I have learned a little something about myself during this whole thing. Hi, Mary. How are you? Hi, Patty. Hi, Christine. Hi, girls, yay. See, this is better than the old days when we would call and talk to each other on the phone. Remember how, okay, does anybody else remember how exciting it was when we got call forwarding when there was no busy signal and you could hear somebody else was calling in? I remember what a big deal that was. Oh, times they haven't changed, aren't they? Anna Maria had a great week. That's wonderful. Crystal says, I'm moving from California to Nevada tomorrow. Oh, well, thank you, Crystal. How exciting. Some of my favorite people are in Nevada. Patty has been at a Bernina software class today. You'll have to tell us what that is, Patty. I've never even heard of it. Carol had way in today. She lost 2.2. Carol, right on. Did you have a meeting today or do you weigh in at home? I guess you must have weighed in at home, huh? Hello, Louise. Patty is stressed and she wants to eat all the things today. Okay, we're gonna talk about that, Patty. Let's talk about that. Let's all talk about it. Anna Maria's 6.2 since January online. Okay, Carol, that's awesome, congrats. You are our WW poster lady for WW right now. Showing the world that they can throw anything in our way and we can still lose our weight, right? Oh, it's an embroidery class. Okay, I should have known. Is my bra hanging out? I love this shirt and I always forget to wear it. I have my green earrings on with it. So, all that you lost, I found. Oh, Mary, it's okay. Hi, Carrie. Carrie, did you have a birthday? I haven't watched Sandy's video yet but I think I read somewhere that you said thanks for the song. Did I miss a birthday? If I did, I apologize in the happiest of birthdays to you. Oh, it's today, everybody till Carrie, happy birthday. Happy birthday, darling. I'm so glad I got the opportunity to say this to you in person. Yeah, yeah. Everybody tune in so you can watch me to go, um. What I wanna talk about with the eating with what's going on in our world right now is I'm not stressed out, as you can tell. Something kind of funny too. Can you hear me? He's like kind of annoyed with me because I'm not freaking out. Isn't that funny? Freaky boy. It's our Carrie with a K, you guys. Not Carrie, wait, watch your journey with Carrie with a C but our Carrie with a K who's relatively new to our community. So if you are not familiar with her, she has a WW channel here. She has a WW channel here on YouTube. And if you look at her name right here, it's Carrie's Priceless with the YWW journey.   Let's get her count up. Let's get, let's just inundate her with all the wonders of this community because this community is a wonderful one. Hello, Joe. Good, you come sit next to me. Oh, two months is all Carrie. So yeah, you had the, okay, what did Melissa do? I missed it. I'm sorry, you guys. Melissa says I first, I first weighed in this week lost nine pounds. Melissa, congratulations. That's fabulous. That tells me and everybody else here that you are doing everything right.  Cause that's usually when people do really well. Congratulations. That's fabulous. What program are you on? Did you say? That's fabulous. Hello, sunshine. Hello, Shoesh. Hello, Shoesh. I'm sorry, I'm trying to get this stuff. And does everybody have their water? That's one thing that is one concern of mine, which I say tongue in cheek. We all know how much water I drink. I drink a lot of water. I drink a lot of water. Should I be concerned about toilet paper?  Maybe I should be a little more concerned about my toilet paper. Good. Everybody's got theirs. I've got mine. I've got my lotion. I've got my glasses. I've got my dog. Everybody's got everything they need. Such a waste of energy, Carol. I couldn't agree with you more. I mean, what does it do anybody good? It does nothing. Sunshine's drowning in her water. Yesterday, or the day before yesterday, I don't know, my days are all running together. I went and I did a ton of shopping. Okay, you guys saw that. And then Steve and I went out and I shot that. We have been all over Simi Valley and back with nary a problem. No problems.  He was probably in his 20s looking for attention. He had a big hazmat suit on when he was walking through Target. And yeah, it didn't give him, it didn't get him the attention I think that he was looking for because everybody was just going moron.  People do funny things, don't they? Are you guys like me? Are you constantly amazed at the things people do? And then you're just like left sitting there thinking to yourself, self, I can't believe she just did that. I can't believe she just wrote that. I can't believe she just said that.  You're like, and here you think it was like Mary, it was like that like recyclable paper type thing. Yeah, yeah, paper and a hood and everything. And I was as you should, as you should. I didn't know that. A little common sense goes a long way, doesn't it? It just really does. The one thing that we've kind of had fun doing though, I have to say is we have, there was a demo on TV, a guy demo. I know you'll fix that, so I understand, Patty. What are you typing like me now? They bought seats and didn't show up. Okay, we have purchased so much food because I think subconsciously in our heads, we're like, we have an excuse to buy all this crap. We got a lot of good stuff. We got a lot of stuff that we normally maybe might not spend money on something, being fiscally responsible and all that. A sneeze spray by spraying a water spray bottle on someone. Okay, Carrie, no need to look down. Yeah, I've heard all that stuff. So let's talk about something other than the people and the toilet paper and the goings on in the world. Let's talk about us. Let's talk about what we would normally talk about a lot of junk for the kids. Oh, sunshine, you got me pegged. I got a lot of junk for Oliver.  Oh, the funny thing is I had to go to a separate store to get my Olay Wraps because my Olay Wraps are my jam. I have to have them no matter what's going on. So on the whole tortilla rack, all the tortillas were gone except for my Olay Wraps. Nobody wanted my Olay Wraps. So I was able to get them. I thought that was kind of funny. It was good for me. Oh, so anyway, so we were walking out. Oh, Susie, we bought so much stuff. I have a haul up from yesterday and then today, I see at Costco we got a rotisserie chicken and they had some tortilla crested tilapia. And gosh, our cupboards are full, our refrigerator in the garage is full. We don't need all the stuff we bought, but we're gonna enjoy eating it. It's like, we finish one meal and Steve's like, so what are we gonna have for lunch? What are we gonna have for dinner? It's like, we just have all sorts of stuff. Patty's thinking about doing video or FaceTime to read books to my grandchildren each day while they are out of school. Not only do I think that that is a fabulous idea, but I think you should do it for all of her too. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. I'll PM you my phone number. I think that's seriously, I think that's a wonderful, wonderful idea. I know Olay Raps aren't for everybody. Somebody once wrote, they taste like cardboard. I disagree. I love my Olay Raps. Love, love, love them. Patty, I think that's such a lovely idea. Carol says I haven't been able to find Olay Raps at all where I live in Paso Robles. You know what, Carol, for the longest time, I couldn't find him and I ordered him off Amazon. I would just get bought. That's how much I love my Olay Raps. I would just get boxes and boxes of them from Amazon. The Mission Carb I'll get if there's no Olay Raps, but I don't like them as much. If you asked me, Nina, you need to pinpoint exactly what it is you don't like. I probably couldn't. I feel like they're a little bit thicker and a little white-turned flower. I just like my Olay Raps. They're just nothing. Olay also makes one called, yeah. They're all the same. If you look on the back, they all have the little thing. They have one that they market to the low-carb keto crowd that is exactly like the ones the Weight Watchers use. They're all the same. Carol, today they were $4.19. When they go on sale, they're usually about $3.89. I just received my box of cut-to-carb wraps. Oh, Mary, I've seen ads for those in Instagram, but I've never thought to order any. You know what, Patty, it's supply and demand. I think it's because I bet that I bet you that more people buy Olay Raps than the Bandarita, and so they charge more because you have me, who is standing there looking at the La Bandarita, looking at the other one that Annemarie was talking about. I had them all in front of me, but I still buy the most expensive one. Yeah, because I'll pay for it, so why not? Okay, so Mary, you're gonna have to tell us about those and how they are, and if they have any flavor or anything like that. See, I can't buy, because you can only get them online, right? Did you purchase them online, or did you find them in a brick and mortar? I'm sorry, you guys, my hands are just really bugging me all of a sudden. So what else did I wanna talk about? There was something else I wanted to talk about. Oh, my train of thought. Sue says I stocked up on my wine. If I have to stand for a while, I need my wine. Yeah. That's just a must. I've never had the Joseph either. I've never been able to find them here. Mary or Carol, have you ever seen the Josephs here in California? They're huge, and people have been using them for the Copycat Taco Bell Crunch Raps. Yes, online at their website, okay. See, I don't buy things online because they're huge. How many points are there, you guys? See, I would just, yeah, I don't have a means or, yeah, Carol, I don't have them up here either. I mean, they're a way to purchase anything online, so I miss out. Also, I would like to say this about that. Two points for a big huge one. That's awesome. You won an Instagram contest. I didn't realize people actually won those things. I entered them right and left, but I've never seen anybody win. That's awesome. Okay, so I'm gonna take a little turn here real quick. If you guys have not seen my friend, Mindy, over at See Mindy Mom, her video from yesterday, you did 36 of them. Patty, you've just got me guessing today, friend. All right, See Mindy Mom, seriously, if you are not following her, that would make me wonder why, because she's wonderful. She's a dear friend of mine, I love her. She made a really important video yesterday, you guys, about built bars. And I'll give you a cliff note. They are not a very trustworthy company. They've proven not to, Susie, I'll tell you when I talk about that. They have stolen her image and used it in some of their advertisements without her permission. She has requested repeatedly that they take it down because she does not, what's the word? What's the word I'm looking for? She doesn't like built bars. She doesn't, you guys know what I'm trying to say.  That's hysterical, isn't she just the best? They're very expensive sunshine. And you know what, here's the thing. Here's my thing when it comes to money with anything.  They are very expensive, they are tasty, but they're a crummy company and they're doing her wrong and just go check out her video. They don't have any integrity and I don't have any room in my life for anybody or anything that lacks integrity. Ethics, morals, doing the right thing. But yeah, it's really, I mean, they just took it. They didn't ask her and it's just crazy. So you guys need to go check that out. Please check that out. Give her your support. If you see, if you should see one of her commercials in your newsfeed, maybe even type something in, I don't know, that's asking a lot, but I just want you guys to be aware that this is going on. They're a new company. They've grown really, really fast, but that does not give them a license to do things that they're not supposed to do. There you go, Joe. You're right. Hi, hello Paula. You're down 2.8, 99.6 today. Plateau busted. Hey, that's a good name for a band. Everybody lift your cup, oh Joe or water, whatever you have and let's cheer her on. Paula, that's fantastic. I'm so, so thrilled for you. 2.8, that is a good substantial chunk of bucks, right? So wonderful. Cheers is right, Patty. Cheers to Paula. Yay, such a good feeling to have a loss. I don't know if I've had a loss or a game or anything because I've not been, I didn't go to my meeting Friday, it was still open, but I didn't go. I was sleeping. All right, so what else can we talk about you guys? Oh, I keep getting off the subject of what I keep starting and getting off of is subconsciously, I keep thinking, I'm not stress eating because I'm not stressed, but I feel like things are awry. So what the heck? Just go out, I'm just gonna go ahead and eat. I have come very close, two times. My husband actually has kind of saved me.  He'll just kind of let go, are you sure? First of all, I talked about Tommy's the other day to you guys, I wanted a Tommy's burger so bad, but I talked to myself down, because you know what I thought?  So then I thought, okay, well, Bob's big boy isn't that bad and I was going there, man. It's like, okay, well, the world's tipped on its axis right now or everything's a little off, so I'll just have this nice little burger over here. But I didn't do it, but I'm in that frame of mind and I wanna stay, I don't want to shoot myself in the foot because when I do get back on the scale, hey, that reminds me now, I'm not gonna know how much I weigh at all because I only weigh in at meetings and we don't have any meetings. Uh-oh. Your nearest Steph is in the grapevine. Let's see, let's say, sunshine says congratulations, Mindy's cup chair, Renee said you're gonna say hello to me. Hello, Renee. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Paula's been juggling that save five pounds for three months. Oh, that's awesome. Renee, I wasn't looking at everybody. It's, especially when I don't have my glasses on. What is, oh, being on a plateau. Patty, what is it that you need to hear? What can we talk about to make you feel better? You said you were stress eating. Just try to keep in mind, and I don't mean just Patty, I'm talking when I say stuff, I'm saying it to myself as well as to you guys. I would never, ever in a million years, I don't like calling it giving advice because I don't like getting advice. Especially unsolicited advice. But anything that I think might be helpful, I have to keep in mind that when everything gets back to normal, which my life is never normal, but you know what I mean, I just refuse to talk about the whole thing. And if I had just eaten whatever I wanted to, and then I do get back on that scale, I'm gonna be so pissed off at myself if I ruin any of the hard work that I have done. Right? Why do it? It's just, there's no reason to. Mary says, you have me on a speaker. Oh, my hubby is saying, I want a Tommy Burger. I want a Bob's Big Boy. Oh, honestly, why do you want to eat that? Tommy Burger would totally have, I got to thinking about that in my belly, thinking since it's been so long, it's been three years since I've had a Tommy's Burger. I was actually in Tommy's when my son came in from Oregon, he wanted to have Tommy's because he missed it. They don't have it up there, I guess. And I sat in there and I didn't touch a French fry, I didn't touch the burgers, I had my little glass of water. I was so very, very proud of myself. So why would I do it now? Just because things are a little wonky, don't use it as an excuse, you guys. Don't use it as an excuse to ruin all the hard work that you have done because we have. And I'm going to specify, for some of us on the more seasoned end of the spectrum, it takes us a while, right? It doesn't take so long to put it on. It'll go on really fast, but it takes a while to get off. So just let's not put ourselves in that position. And Sunshine says, think about how better you will feel without having to make excuses for feeling bad. Amen, sister, yes. Mary, what's your husband's name? Renee doesn't stress eat, so she's okay with that aspect, as am I. Oh yes, Sunshine. Bob's big boy is right here in Northridge. Renee, do you have a Costco card? We get our burgers at Costco. They are so delicious. They're eight smart points. Make it what you like. They're delicious. You had a great dinner, air fried chicken breast, sweet potato and fresh green beans. The chicken part sounds good. It sounds nice and filling. Mary says her son was just accepted to law school at the University of Oregon. Congratulations. Oh my gosh, as a mother, I'm so excited and proud for and with you. That's fantastic. Oh my gosh, that's great. That's great. My son actually lives in Washington by shoes, but he works in Oregon. He works at a big fancy hotel there. I don't know what the name of it is. Gary. Okay, Gary. Come on up North. Pick me up and let's go get a burger. I'll be standing out in front waiting for you.  The last time I had a Bob's big boy burger was after a funeral and it was 21 smart points. I do remember that. All right, Paula says Facebook, wait watch your pages are all full of people in panic over meetings, closing and stress eating. They are, that bums me out greatly. It bums me out that they're stressed to start with, because so much of it is just out of our control. And they have control over their stress eating. If they're gonna stress eat, let them stress eat apples and oranges and veggies and sweet potatoes and green beans. Right Renee? All right Patty, one day of pizza, your fine friend, you're doing so, so well on your program.  Was it good? Did you enjoy it? Cause if you enjoyed it, then just take it, be done with it, it's a done deal. Oh Mary, I'm just a silly old lady sitting on the other end of a camera where people can hear me and see me. We can't let this undo what we have done. Absolutely Paula, and look at Paula with her night, is it 96 or 98 pound loss? What better way to beat it than take care of ourselves? Oh my gosh, you should be on this side of the camera my friend.  Maybe the grandkids should FaceTime and read to you and let you relax. Oh, Charlene's having leftover manwich. I never had manwich. We always used the lorries, sloppy joe ingredients. I think we're gonna have the tortilla tilapia tonight because my husband, he makes all the dinners. He just does. It's just easier when I'm having problems. He doesn't seem to mind. And I fought it for a long time cause I felt guilty. So, so guilty. I mean, he works so hard every day. Husband's a hard, hard worker you guys. And now he's making dinner. He doesn't seem to mind though. And he likes to eat. So if he wants to eat, the chances of it eating are probably better if he does make dinner. Mary says, I found the WWE cream cheese at my market. Oh, right on. I made two ingredient bagels yesterday. I used Trader Joe's EBTB seasoning. Oh, and the jalapeno cheddar too. Oh, that sounds delish. I have never made the two ingredient dough because of my wonderful hands. And it just seems, I don't think I'd be able to do it. Tracy was so bored today. She went to have lunch at a friend's house. She made the most delish salmon with sauteed spinach. A beautiful zero point meal. Tracy, what a wonderful friend you have. Isn't that great?  This is why I got in here. I wanted positivity. I wanna try to give some positivity. I wanted to try to stir up some positivity with you guys. Any of you guys who are worry warts, which is kind of funny because I'm the biggest worry wart in the world. I worry about everything, but I'm not worried about this. I know Steve needs to be cloned. Gosh. He's, and you guys see just smatterings of what he does. He does, he takes my car and he fills it up with gas for me. He brings things.  And I'm extremely blessed. Renee, you need some new friends. Oh, baddie, I love you. I wish I could give you a hug. You're such a wonderful, wonderful lady. But yeah, we just all have to just, you know, find the little things to be happy about.  We got word that tomorrow they're turning off our electricity to work on something or other between nine and three. What in the world am I supposed to do for a whole day when I shouldn't be going anywhere with no electricity? We do have a generator. But my biggest issue is, I hear I was not gonna talk about it. My thing that I have to be careful about is since I have cuts in my hands, when I go out, I thought I had them here. I was gonna show you guys. I have to wear a little cotton gloves because if anything gets in my hands, I'm a goner. Paula says, I just hope it doesn't offend my neighbors too much when I run out of toilet paper and I'm dragging my honey across my front lawn. They'll probably be out there with you. Hey, you know what I say. I think I came up with the best idea ever. They're not biodegradable, but they wouldn't be hard to find. Coffee filters. Stock up on some coffee filters.   All right, Costco had TP today. I don't know you guys. Oh, here's some news. This is wild. This is just wild. My mother and my father bought a new house and moved and didn't tell my sisters or myself. She texted us yesterday in a group text with a picture of her and my dad standing out front of this beautiful house on the golf course, holding a sign that says, the Schwiebert's just moved or we just moved or something like that. And then it has all the information.  So, yeah, she didn't tell any of us. Really weird. Power everything up tonight. But like what, Patty? Which, how do I power up my TV?  I have all that great, the lanterns, remember, that I told you guys about on my channel? All that stuff has come in so flippin' handy. Why can't I think of the name of it? Steve Cam, but he's in there probably trying to sleep. Ones and iPads. Yes, ma'am. Thank you for that. Thank you for that. Oh shoot, I had a thought it was coming. It was a good, it was a good one. I lost it. The thing that I'm worried about though is what about all the people? Granted, it's only gonna be a few hours. Our weather is not hot right now. Nothing's gonna go bad. But somebody who is already panic-stricken, is already anxious, and just went and spent $300 on groceries, and if their electricity goes off, that's not gonna make them feel a whole heck of a lot better. I don't know. I don't know. I'd better start looking for my lighters, and my candles, and everything just put it in one spot. You have bricks charging up. Joe, I've got some bricks too. No, the timing stinks, Renee. I have some bricks. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, right when I say, okay, I'm gonna hang up now, because then we always know it's like 25 minutes till I actually do sign off. I need you guys to tell me. Go charge everything up, Nita, so I don't forget. I'm not gonna keep you guys that long today.  I had something kinda weird happen this weekend on YouTube, that it's gonna have to be, it's gonna be like vague booking, because I'm not gonna talk about it, but it was weird, and it was unnerving, and it just caused me to pause and think that we don't always, things aren't always the way we like to think they are, right? I've always given everybody the benefit of the doubt, but I don't know. Hi, Kim, how are you? It wouldn't have been alive, or even a video if you weren't here.  Oh, look at you. Mary says it's cool outside, and it's supposed to be raining tomorrow here too. We were at that power for over 10 hours, not too long ago, and the car food was fine. Patty, especially women, go with your guts, man. Go with your gut, because even if you have to find out the hard way, you're usually right. I want Patty, or Carol, I wanna drive down and go to downtown Disney and look through the gates of Disneyland and see what it looks like with nobody in there. I bet it's a total flipping trip. Suze, are you still here? Oh, Suze, this was what I was trying to get out. I forgot. Oh, Suze, we do. We do, we dance. It was funny, one night, I got up and I was showing him some steps, because I had taken some dance lessons with the was band for the first wedding.  You're back doing laundry, eh. I think I've got all my laundry done, I hope.  Super duper, hey Luge, we're gonna switch it to Luge. Super comfortable, all that Yvette stuff is so awesome. I need to work on my description box. I'm gonna make a video and show you guys just what I got in this, what they sent me, and put that link in my description box. My description box just stinks, I have it, it's horrible. I'm not good at it. Lou, how was your day? And look at Suze's down there with her red dress on. I wish I had her red dress on when I was dancing. Thank you, Kim, it all was super, I mean, I just said that, and I'm gonna say it again, but super comfortable, really comfortable. And then I put on my old bra, why don't we treat ourselves to good new decent bras? Why do we walk around in bras from 1984? Why do we do that? I know I'm not the only one that does that. It's ridiculous. Thank you, Renee, and I never will, I never will. Nothing is more irritating. Well, maybe there's a few things, but I don't care for that. A total chaos homestead, hello, welcome. Welcome to the Chichat Pattywack party. Guilty sunshine, right, hanging by a thread. We got to adjust the straps because it's just ridiculous. Now we make sure our kids and our husbands and everybody have socks and undies and they're all prepared, right? But we never treat ourselves to good new bras. And when we do, I mean, we just should. I don't see, I don't mind spending the money on it because then when I'm wearing it, I feel so good. Look at Lou, she is such a good Pattywacker. It's making sure she covers everybody.  When the face is looking a little, but yeah, I'm not gonna know how much I weigh. That's gonna be kind of weird. Christine, you know what? They're overrated, right? I only wear, you know what? Okay, let's touch on that for a second. I, at this age with my weight loss, I have to wear one unless I'm sleeping when I'm around Steven Oliver because I just, especially Oliver, I just, I don't wanna scare the child, you know? And it just feels weird.  Rene says, when you always give your link for discounts, I hate it. I don't really trust in what you're talking about. You mean the general, you right? I hope, I think so. Hello, Mary, I haven't seen you in a long time. She just got some new undies in a couple, a couple weeks ago. my sister sleeps in hers I don't know how she does that I do have like a really really really light one that sometimes I'll sleep in when Oliver's home oh my gosh but I didn't used to be Mary I was never before isn't it just never say never that was saying my dad always is never say never I wish I could show you the picture of my mom and dad I don't know where my phone is though it looks so sweet standing out there but I got concerned because for those of you don't know my dad has Alzheimer's and they literally are on a golf course and I asked my mom I said mom what a daddy lopes on the golf course what if he takes off because I don't know if there's a fence around it or what and then she took a picture of something and saying it's not a problem so I'm just gonna have to not worry about something that I don't have any control over wouldn't it be nice if we could all just do that just not worry about things that we have no control over yeah Lou you have to yeah absolutely have to because they're all just too big and sagging that makes you feel worse and when you lose the weight you need to reward yourself and even if it's with bras and panties we deserve it right we all deserve it next time we're out purchasing those items for our loved ones we need to stop in our aisle and get something for ourselves because why the heck not Kim was only able to wear sports bras for about the last 30 years just recently I'm back to wearing a regular bra honey that's exciting but sports bras they feel so good I've never worn one till Yvette sent them to me and I really like the way they feel Coles is my place Lou I love Coles jammies that reminded me I have some new ones I haven't worn yet I should have put it on before I came here and showed them off to you guys Renee if you go to Coles they have sales that often like if you buy one you get one free or bubbles or something they're very reasonable and but again it's a bra you have to wear one you're worth it oh what did I miss why are we having no worries what did I do what did I say ah yeah they do have great sales on bras at Coles so so is everybody okay that's why I came on here I just want to check on my homies me making typos oh don't I'm the queen of typos if you're gonna do typos this is your place because everybody's gotten so used to try to figure out what the hell it is I'm saying elsewhere that we can decipher each other here we're good am I sitting in the dark you know why is my hair I took a shower before I came on here my hair is so very frizzy and I don't know why Carol you can come sit next to me and I'm not feeding into that now I have we haven't had TV on at all today we had the car radio on the toons and um like that you're quarantined are we all supposed to be quarantined if everybody's supposed to be quarantined who are all those other people out in Simi Valley with me today I don't understand the whole thing I'm just gonna keep my hands covered keep washing my hands and I'm gonna go about my business hi Jennifer how you doing I know who you meant you guys rock and also I haven't forgiven my cup giveaway I have somebody in the process of making it right now I was thinking about it the other day somebody's probably sitting in their house going wow that Anita lady said she was gonna give away a cup whatever happened to that Patty says Illinois bars and restaurants all to close on Monday throw back your few shots of tequila and eat some tacos lady Susie I didn't I really took it up to Best Buy and they can't help me so I'm gonna have to find the only thing is though okay Kim says she self-quarantined because I live in a small town where there are two confirmed cases oh with diabetes absolutely darlin gotcha okay oh yeah in situations like that sunshine's in Georgia everything closed school stores I have to work tomorrow um yeah all of her schools are closed but all the everything else is open we were all there today your preschool teacher Christina you be safe too and you know I've been telling my mom and dad just been getting a flu cold virus whatever kids are doing much

the end of the week maybe see I haven't watched the news maybe I should I want to show up to some bars somewhere the door's gonna be closed I'm just kidding I don't go to bars anymore you like it luge I like it too and I never wear it because I'm always afraid I'm gonna ruin it I never wear my favorite clothes in fear that I'm gonna ruin them so they're all hanging in my closet where nobody can see something's wrong donating it to science alright you guys have a good night too thank you so much for this live chat I needed this thank you for saying that you have no idea when you guys say things like that how much it makes how good it makes me feel so so good thank you honey Newman just asked for all bars to close why specifically bars see in my way of thinking if I was in charge of this whole Dosh darn thing I would keep the bars open because everybody in there is gonna be all pickled and nobody's gonna be getting any virus because nobody's gonna know virus is gonna want to come near all that pickled miss how do you think I've stayed alive for so long oh my gosh Christine I'm glad you did too continue to let those kids take care of you okay everybody who needs someone to help you reach out to them please right Christine Jennifer darling your guess is as good as mine but they sure got the hype up didn't they because now I'm worried about it with all my water consumption coffee filters just saying you heard it here first now you guys are just depressing me patty I don't know outlaw liquor that's that I'm already stock I've got it stockpiled you guys know I'm joking kind of alright everybody stay on plan don't let anything don't you know what get just the news that you need don't leave it on 24 seven because that's why this is different than past problems we didn't have 24 hour news sources at our fingertips just get what you need and then go about your business and turn on the golden girls or family ties or something fun except that'll make you smile Christine's

Thanks again everybody good next five boxes coming up


In this problem, we have this cantilever beam AB, which has a distributed load with intensity W equal to 200 Nm. And we have this point load applied at A equal to 400 Nm. And we need to determine the span of the beam that requires strengthening given sigma max equal to 100 MPa. So basically what this problem is asking is we need to determine what is the profile, what is the distribution of the stress. So it could be something for example like this, right? So if this is the normal stress or bending stress, in this case we need to determine for which points of this tractor the bending stress is larger than 100 MPa. So for example in this case all this region will be above 100 MPa and then we would need to increase the strength of this section of the beam, right? So then of course in order to determine what is the distribution of stresses we need to use the flexural formula, this is equal to M times Y divided by the moment of inertia. So as usually let's calculate first what is the moment of inertia, what is this distance and what is the distribution of moments. So we can for example start calculating the moment of inertia. We need of course to estimate first what is the location of the neutral axis. This is the section of the structure and we define this to be the part number 2. This is part number 3 and this is part number 1. Then we know that the total area times the position of the centroid of the structure which it will be somewhere around there, so I call this distance H is equal to A1 Y1, this is the centroid of this area, 1 plus A2 Y2 plus A3 Y3, right? This is the reference, then we have that this equation H is equal to then A1 is equal to 80 times 8 and this centroid of the first area, this is equal to 80 over 2, 4 plus A2, this one this is 40 times 8 and the centroid of this part is here, so I'm considering this distance which is equal to 40 divided by 2 this is 20 plus 8 millimeters, 28 and A3 Y3 is exactly the same, so I multiply here times 2 divided by A1 plus A2 plus A3, this is equal to 16 millimeters. So we already know what is this distance, we know that the neutral axis is here and now we can calculate the moment of inertia of the whole section which of course is the moment of inertia of 1 plus the moment of inertia of 2 plus the moment of inertia of 3 Of course we need to use the parallel axis theorem, so for the first section we have that this is equal to the moment of inertia with respect to the centroid of 1 So in this case for a rectangular section we have that this is equal to BH cubed divided by 12 plus as I said the area of 1 times the distance from H1 to H then B is equal to 80 in this case times 8 cubed divided by 12 plus the area of this part is equal to 80 times 8 and the distance from Y1 to H is equal to 16 minus 4 and this is equal to we do the same for 2 The moment of inertia of the squared section is equal to 40 squared times the base 8 divided by 12 plus the area of 2 times the distance from the centroid of this section will be around here to the centroid of the section for the whole structure and of course the moment of inertia of 3 is equal to the moment of inertia of 2 Therefore if we sum these results we have that the moment of inertia of the whole section is equal to now we need to find the bending moment distribution this is our beam we have here the distributed load with intensity W equal to 200 N per meter and we have here an applied load B equal to 400 N so I define here my reference X and I need to calculate what is the distribution of moments so I actually don't need to calculate what is this reaction force RB or this reaction moment MB so I can just start analyzing the structure from this side of the structure so I don't care about these reaction forces in this case I will use VMW relationships so we have that dv dx in this case is equal to minus W so I defined positive upwards so dv dx is equal to minus W is equal to minus 200 so if I want to find what is the shear distribution I have to integrate this so it's the integral of minus 200 dx and this is equal to minus 200x plus a constant here so now in order to find this constant I apply the boundary condition because I know that at A at X equal to 0 this shear force must be exactly equal to this force B so at 0 V is equal to minus B so from here I find that A is exactly equal to minus B so this is minus 400 so therefore the shear force is equal to now I need to find what is the distribution of moments so we integrate here and now we need to find what is the value of this constant of integration B so again we know that at X equal to 0 we have a cantilever beam so the moment must be 0 there so from this condition we have that this is 0 this is 0 so B must be equal to 0 so finally the moment bending moment distribution M of X is equal to and from here we have that the larger dx the larger the bending moment so M max occurs at the maximum value of X so in this case the maximum value of X is equal to L which is equal to 2 meters so M max is equal to now we need to find if any point of this structure has a bending stress larger than 100 megapascals so to do this we are going to use the flexural formula and of course we know that the maximum stress in this case is equal to the maximum moment times Y max divided by the moment of inertia Y max so for this section we have that the neutral axis is located here at 16 millimeters and we have that this distance is 48 so of course Y max it's located at the bottom part so Y max is equal to 48 minus 16 and is equal to 32 millimeters then now we have all the information that we need and if we substitute the results that we have sigma maximum is equal to then from here we find that for X equal to L at the wall the maximum stress is larger than 100 megapascals so from the equation of moments we know that the distribution of stresses is something like this and we know of course that the distribution of bending moment is something which is proportional to this so if this is the limit of 100 megapascals I need to find what is the location of X for which the moment is creating a stress of 100 megapascals then I will know that I will need to reinforce all this part of the beam right so let's first find which this value of M which produces that sigma is equal to 100 megapascals so again we use this flexural formula and we have that 100 megapascals is equal to M0 times 0.032 divided by the moment of inertia then from here we find that M0 is equal to minus 853 millimeters and now I need to find what is the X at which this occurs so from the expression of the bending moment I have this is equal to so this should be equal to M0 then I can solve this equation so I have that this is a second order equation so X is equal to so from here we take the positive result then X is equal to 1.54 meters then in conclusion we need to reinforce our beam wherever the magnitude of the moment exceeds 853 meters and this is from X equal to 1.54 meters to B then this is X equal to 1.54 and we need to reinforce this part
