Hello, hello, hello, and welcome. My name is Meron Kilili. We are DM25, a radical political movement for Europe. And this is another live discussion with our coordinating team featuring subversive ideas you won't hear anywhere else. And today we're looking at the war in Ukraine. It's been over a year since we last tackled this topic on our live stream. So here are some quick facts to put you in the picture. Over half a million military casualties on both the Russian and Ukrainian sides. Over 30,000 civilian casualties. Hundreds of billions of dollars given to support Ukraine's war effort from the West, from the US, from NATO countries. Millions of people displaced. Damages in Ukraine exceeding $150 billion. Russia now controls a fifth of Ukraine's territory and population and the war has been stuck in a bloody stalemate for months. Now you might think it'd be time for a ceasefire and for peace talks, as DM25 has pushed for since Putin invaded Ukraine in February, 2022. Yet negotiations to end the war appear to be further away than ever. In fact, tensions have been ratcheting up between Russia and NATO, especially in recent weeks. French President Macron refused to rule out sending troops to Ukraine, provoking a backlash. Schultz, the German leader, stated that British soldiers are already fighting there. Putin warned of nuclear consequences if NATO intervenes. His leading critic, Navalny, died in custody. The New York Times exposed CIA spy bases along the Ukrainian border near Russia. And both the US and Europe are stepping up their military support for Ukraine, although to what end it's uncertain. So with far right parties surging across the EU ahead of the European elections in June and Donald Trump likely to return as US president, what do these latest developments in Ukraine mean for Europe and for the world? Is a direct confrontation between nuclear powers unavoidable or does the possibility for a negotiated peace still exist? Our panel, including our own Yanis Varoufakis and our crew of activists, experts and thinkers and doers from across Europe will be weighing in on this topic. And you, you out there, if you've got thoughts, rants, comments, things that pop into your head, then please put them in the YouTube chat and we'll put them to our panel. Yanis will be joining us a little bit later today. Let's hand the floor over now to Karin Dorego, our lead candidate for our German bid in the European election in June. Karin, floor is yours. Thank you, madam. So the worry of Ukraine is at a critical point. After two years, the landscape is weaker and hence is in a precarious position. He doesn't have soldiers anymore. The economy is suffering. The international support has decreased because now the focus has shifted to Palestine. And the latest decision to build a defensive line at the borders of over 2,000 kilometers reveals that the hope for a victory is more far now than ever. If you want to be optimistic, then it's exactly when a situation stalls that there is space for negotiation. Unfortunately, Zelensky doesn't decide anything anyway, seems to refuse any dialogue because the claims he does over Crimea are totally unrealistic. And the USA keeps sending any kind of military equipment without ending. Russia is doing its usual propaganda. And in Europe, Macron, who's up on the lion are calling for an increasing weapons, weapons production, sending troops. I recently read that the Italian Defense Minister declared that Europe has a low-productive capacity for weapons and it should be increased.  It's a huge lie. They are sending our money to the US, to the top five armed companies in the world. And these companies are owned by investment funds. There is where our money is going. We the only hope that they will get a slice of the cake in the end in the reconstruction phase. So all the attempts to show the situation through diplomacy have been sabotaged from the West from the beginning. They were lying on the power of sanction and on the ability and the power of the Ukrainian army. And now Ukraine risks to be sacrificed in this geopolitical battle. To answer to the question of our live stream today, is there a risk of nuclear war? Well, as long as there have been atomic bombs, there will always be the risk. Let's be honest about that. Since the Second World War, they have been used as a deterrent and it's exactly what Putin is doing also right now. He wants, I don't really think he will start throwing bombs without any reason. But if we think that this arms race is going to end the war, then we are really making a huge mistake. And we need to do everything possible to stop the madness of these war mongers in Europe and in the United States, because it's really too late. With Meta-25, one of our most important points is exactly to call for disarmament, to get Europe out of this imperialistic logic and to propose a new frame for the international cooperation because every person, every population deserves nothing but peace. Thank you, Karen. Amir, Amir Kia'i, our policy coordinator based in The Hague. What's your take? Thank you, Mehran. My take is that we actually have to accept that it's going to continue for a while. There's been, in this too, more than two years now. And of course, even longer if we talk about 2014 and all the internal strife and internal civil war, et cetera, there has really been very little, if any, moved towards resolving this through political or diplomatic needs. And this is the direction that has been set. And if we look at the recent comments of Macron, initially, I think personally, I was also a little bit skeptical because Macron likes to talk things up a bit. But now, I saw reports today about French TV channels, displaying a graph of Ukraine and highlighting scenarios of where French troops could be placed in, for example, things like that. So it's getting to that point of the narrative is getting much more serious about placements of French troops, et cetera. So it looks like we're on another round of escalation and further militarization of this conflict but also of other conflicts. So we see this in Gaza. There's again, no pressure being applied on Israel at all to resolve this diplomatically, et cetera, politically. And we will also see this, and we see this in Haiti, for example, with again, no pressure to resolve anything diplomatically. Even Kenya is getting brought in now and to supply policing troops to Haiti. They're under a lot of pressure from the Americans to do that. So we see this American guns first approach being applied everywhere. There's a problem, guns are the solution. That's how it is at the moment. And look, the realities of the base political philosophy of the United States is on the gun, shoot first and talk later, and is shaped by sort of a totalitarian view of the world in terms of trying to control everything. So we having these reference points that just point to us that we are looking at a further conflict. We're not gonna see peace in that sense. Except of course, what can we do and how we can use our public pressure and our public voice and et cetera, et cetera. And we can come to that later on in the hour that we have. Thank you, Amir. Yannis has just joined us. Yannis, who is yours? Hello, everyone. Hello, everyone. Regarding the question of the likelihood of nuclear war and of this combination of a First World War, trench warfare and Afghanistan. Because this is what, remember, on the first week after Putin's invasion of Ukraine in our regular live stream, this is what we were saying. We were saying that this is going to end up as a combination of trench warfare in the style of the Great War, the First World War and something like Afghanistan. And this is exactly what is happening. The difference here is that the narrative that Joe Biden adopted personally, and I'm not sure that it was the Biden administration. The thing is, to a very large extent, Biden himself and some people very close to him. And I'm saying that, I'm casting doubt on whether this is a general Joe Biden administration attitude because they've tried, his people tried to roll it back, to backpedal. And then he pushed forward again. What am I referring to? The threat that issued, the proclamation that Putin will be dragged through the International Criminal Court, which is by the way a court that the United States does not recognize, which is hypocrisy magnified to such a level that it is ridiculous. But anyway, this is not a question of whether Putin should be dragged through the International Criminal Court. I would like to see him in the International Criminal Court personally, but I would also like to see Tony Blair and George W. Yubush and even Barack Obama. Actually every American president, since let's say JFK should be dragged through the International Criminal Court. But that is not the point. The point is that once you tell one of the combatants in the Ukraine war who owns 1,550 nuclear warheads that his defeat will mean his end of days being spent in a prison in the Hague. Essentially what you are doing is you are telling him that if you lose the conventional war, fire your nuclear weapons. This is the message from Joe Biden. This is why Joe Biden is such a clear and present danger for humanity. Will it happen? Look, ever since we invented as humanity atomic weapons and then nuclear weapons and then hydrogen bombs and then proton bombs and so forth, that has always been the great unknown. Those who have their button, press that button, knowing that it will be the end of humanity. That is a question that no one can possibly answer. What we do know is that the West has taken a regional conflict that should never have been allowed to take place, to occur and which should have been quelled immediately by means of the proposals that we, DM25 have been, or along those lines, a similar proposal, that doesn't have to be the precise proposal, DM25, but something along the lines. Essentially, a trade, Russian troops go back to barracks where they were before February 2022 in exchange for the neutrality of Ukraine. Independence, but neutrality out of NATO, just like Austria remained out of NATO during the whole of the Cold War and that allowed Austria to actually develop very nicely along the lines of social democratic or liberal democratic lines. So that is the, my answer to the question is, how likely is a nuclear war? We have no idea. But what we know is that Joe Biden has, with the help of the whole of NATO, the unthinking and unquestioning attitude of European leaders, they have all been complicit in creating a nuclear threat out of an awful humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine. But let's have a look at what Amir was saying before. I didn't catch most of what you said, Amir, but not all of it. Apologies for my late entry transport problems. Okay. The problem, as I see it, comrades, friends, is that a warmonger's Europe has already taken shape as a result of the Ukraine war. Amir spoke about Emmanuel Macron playing a very silly catch-up game in relation to Le Pen. Macron is facing obliteration in the European Parliament elections in the hands of Le Pen. His whole project of creating a new force in politics is clearly failed. And his second term is essentially deflating like a burst balloon. And now he has a new hobby horse. And that is to call upon the French to prepare for war against Russia, which is completely out of character, even by Emmanuel Macron, just goes to show the desperation of the man and the extent to which he really doesn't mind jeopardizing peace worldwide just in order to find another hobby horse because every other hobby horse he had, like the idea of a political union, a fiscal union, a federal treasury and so on, all ideas that were more or less reasonable. They fell by the wayside and now he's replacing them with a wholly unreasonable and a clear and present danger to humanity of a policy. So using Putin's stalled Ukraine war as a pretext, he has replaced this. Remember how he came to power with his vision of a political union. A lot of the ideas he had stolen from DM25 and I can attest to that. I'm not, this is not me being on behalf of DM25 overly optimistic about our influence, but I do know because he actually told me himself, even the idea of citizen assemblies, which he used in order to wear the gilet jaune, if you remember, he took a lot of ideas from DM25, which is not a problem except that he completely misconstrued and essentially distorted them. But he replaced this vision of a political union, however distorted it was, with a vision of a war union. That's why he sees now the European Union and it's not just him, Charles Michel, the president of the European Council, you've read his letter, I'm sure, recently. He's now calling for European Union targets. Not just targets, but a whole project, which begins with EU targets for us as the European Union to buy twice as many weapons from European arms dealers by 2030, you saw that. And how to pay for that? The European Union is bankrupt. They can't afford to pay for anything. We have the industrialization or have a German fiscal situation, which is pathetic. The answer is he will pay for the weapons using profits from Russian frozen assets. So that would be, which of course is by the way, something that the European Central Bank completely disapproves of because that would be a very serious danger for the Euro areas credibility as a safe place for oligarchs to put their money in. Again, I'm not passing the judgment, I'm simply stating it. He even mentioned the idea of a Eurobond. Can you imagine that? We don't have a Eurobond for making our European Union, Monterey Union and Palatine pool to the majority, but he wants a Eurobond in order to pay for guns and ammunition. And he even wants the European Investment Bank. Did you hear that? That is the epitome of EDUC. He wants the European Investment Bank to secure loans or to guarantee loans that will go into buying weapons. Now, the European Investment Bank, I know that I was a governor of the European Investment Bank some time ago, has a clear limit. It's in the charter to make productive investments. Investments like bridges and things that increase incomes. Now, he's asking the European Investment Bank to spend money to give loans, to build ammunitions that hopefully will not be used unless of course we want to use them. And then, but then who pays for them? Who will repay the loans to the European Investment Bank? Now, a German order liberal, like, you know, the spirit or the ghost of Wachem Schäuble would be up in arms against that. And, you know, in this letter, Charles Michel tries to sell this to us as a way to create jobs and growth. Can you believe that? Remember Junker? The Junker plan, which was completely unconceived, ill-conceived and financially made no sense. The idea there was to invest in green technologies, in things that, you know, in digital technologies. Now, that has gone, the Junker plan, and we have the Michel plan, where, you know, another pipe dream for boosting investment in technology and innovation will go, however, it will follow the Hitler path, not the Roosevelt path, right? Not the new deal of Roosevelt, but the Hitler path of creating growth through defense spending, through building armaments. You know, I mean, the only way of concluding this, to say that, on the one hand, Macron, and on the other hand, Michel, are painting a picture of the European Union. That even the radical center of two years ago, a year ago, would not recognize anymore. To put it slightly differently. Vladimir Putin's greatest triumph is that he changed the DNA of the European Union. He changed the way the European Union establishment thinks of itself. And the only good news for Europeans and the world is that the European Union is incompetent. So in the same way that the Junker plan fizzled out and nothing happened, well, I hope that the Chalmisch bill and Emmanuel Macron plan will fizzle away. It probably will, because incompetence is guaranteed the European Union. But it is a very sad day when the prospects for peace in the European Union and in Europe generally, and the prospects for some sanity depend on incompetence, ruling in the final analysis. So if you take together this war union with the white superpowers, outer border, the frontier, we went from financialized cosmopolitanism, this was a situation before 2020, let's say, to an ethno-original white supremacist nationalist Europe. Consider this, and this is how it finished. Let's suppose that Michel gets his way and we build the defense industry and we borrow money from the European investment bank to do so. Then how do we sustain them? The only way you can sustain this industry is by creating wars that create the demand for replenishing those stockpiles of weaponry. So suddenly, what is appearing, what is being presented as a defensive strategy for Europe is becoming a warmongering strategy. This is why I said that Europe is becoming on warmongers delight. The language that these people now use is so inflammatory that if Le Pen had used that language 10 years ago, I mean, the whole of Europe, including these people, the liberal center, the Radical Center, we'd have lambastata. So my final point as somebody who intends to be a candidate in the European Parliament election allow me to wear that hat for a moment, is that if you good people out there vote for us for the European Parliament election next June, our pledge to you is that we are not going to rely simply on European Union incompetence to preserve peace. If you send us to the European Parliament, we will work tirelessly to defeat Macron, Michel, and for the lion, their agenda. And we are going to work in that manner meticulously, carefully, enthusiastically, day in, day out. Thank you. Thank you for that, Yanis. Some comments from the chat. Mark Bulmer says that diplomacy should be done with Russia, America, China, and the United Nations should take over the world's nuclear weapons or some major nuclear treaty. N.E. says that I'm afraid sending Russian troops back to pre-2022 lines is off the table in negotiations. Russia has made that clear several times. Kat Terrell says Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed, Northrop, Raytheon, Go Team, big arms manufacturers that she's citing there. And a comment from David here in our internal chat, which I think is useful, that there have been at least two known instances of computers falsely flagging Russia and the U.S. having fired nuclear weapons in the past. Let's not forget, it was the only reason, it was the only reason that prevailed by the people who didn't pass the info up the chain. Lucas, Lucas February, Communications Director based in Berlin. What's your take on all this? Thanks, Marin. So to begin by answering the question that's posed in the title of this conversation here, is nuclear possible? Is it likely? Well, I'm gonna repeat what everyone here said and said that I don't know. You'd be surprised to hear I'm not smart and then anyone else here and not preview for any information that no one else is. But I think what is really concerning are the several things that are very concerning. But one of the things that hasn't been mentioned yet tonight and it's a good, what David just said is a good segue into this is that I fear that what's been lost in recent years and in recent decades is a lack of appreciation for the possibility of nuclear conflict, which is something that was in people's minds all the time during the Cold War, of course. And we saw those instances that David mentioned there as good examples of points in which, well, these were sort of accidental points, but points nonetheless, where we came close to nuclear war and there were other far more geopolitical weight behind them that also brought the world closer to annihilation. That's not a good world to live in, of course, but we have to remember that those weapons still exist. But I fear that while the weapons are still there and ready to be deployed, we've lacked the respect for the destructive capabilities of those weapons. And I remember very early on in the war in Ukraine, in the early days after Russia's full-scale invasion, that a huge topic, there was a lot of people in the West advocating for a no-fly zone to be established over Ukraine by NATO, essentially. And I found that that was extremely shocking, like the extent to which that seemed to be a popular idea. And it begs the question for me, what is it that people think that a no-fly zone entails? Like, do you decree that a no-fly zone exists and then the enemy just goes like, are rats and then I guess we can fly out of place anymore? No, you have to shoot planes down. And in this case, you have to shoot down planes belonging to a nuclear power that has already shown a willingness to take a tremendous amount of political and military capital in this conflict in this region. So I fear that that was a very gross example of this sort of lack of appreciation for the threat of nuclear war early on in the conflict. But now you see it in many ways, it hasn't diminished in the slightest with this constant calls for more and more sophisticated weapon systems to be delivered to Ukraine, which of course, risk a tremendous escalation that again, could very well lead to nuclear conflict. And in this sort of like, ideological sort of good versus evil battle that exists in a lot of people's minds in the West, the question that I ask is, how many more lives need to be lost in order for a point, essentially, I guess, to be proved because what we see on the ground is a stalemate. The much law that counter-offensive it has stalled, it is tragic to look at how many lives have been lost. We're talking dozens of thousands of lives to win a few kilometers a year and there in the front line. It's a tragedy and how many more need to be lost until we feel that our point is proved because it doesn't look like this stalemate is gonna be broken. And if it is, it's going to be in a catastrophic way. It's not gonna be broken in a good way because again, the fact of matter remains that Russia is a nuclear power. And so this is all very concerning and another concerning thing is something that Yan has already spoke to a length is that in a sense, the die has been cast as far as Europe is concerned, the conflict has already changed Europe in a lot of ways regardless of what happens in the future in terms of a potential resolution which of course we continue to advocate for diplomacy and unalignment and so on and so forth. Too much political capital has been staked in this new world that has risen and it is in Europe that has risen since February of 2022. And just like it doesn't help to back putting into a corner by using this sort of rhetoric that Joe Biden has been using, it doesn't make the world any safer. It doesn't help anyone, the Ukrainians, Russians, Europeans, nobody. The capital that political leaders in Europe have staked in their position and in their subservience to the interests of the United States at the end of the day, that's something that they can't back out of because that would mean the end of their political careers. So I think that what we should do is bring about the end of their political careers by different means to force their hand by replacing them in the European elections and in another elections to come. And that's why that's what our Meta25 parties are here for. So I again echo Janice's call for everyone out there to support us in this bid in June and well beyond June so that we can bring new people with different ideas and much less concern for our own political skin. As a matter of fact, we have none and we're proud of it. Thank you, Lucas. While you're at the floor, let me ask you something because I know that you're very active on the topic of Gaza and the massacre which has been going on there since October also being carried out with American money and weapons. In many of the activist circles that I'm in, when the Ukraine war, well, when Putin invaded Ukraine February 2022, there were many people who on the left who were very much Slavo-Ukrainian and Ukraine as much money as possible, they can win the war. Then after Gaza happened after October 7th and then what happened in Gaza continues to happen, those same people were very much in favor of the ceasefire in Gaza. I wanted to ask, I know these are two different conflicts but do you think that the Gaza, what's happened in Gaza has changed the calculation? Somewhat, is there more of an appetite for peace perhaps than there was before Gaza and might this also influence bringing about a negotiated settlement for Ukraine? I don't know, to be honest. I can only hope so. Let's put aside the sort of like the geopolitical calculus and what has happened in Gaza, how that might change your worldview in terms of power balance or whatever sort of geopolitical terms that you might want to use, but just on an emotional level. I think it has, I mean, I think and I hope that it has changed a lot of people's minds about the meaning of war itself because it is just, I feel that regardless of your political orientation has been impossible in the past few months not to see absolutely horrifying images almost daily coming out of Gaza. And I feel that, I mean, I cannot imagine how someone might be, you know, how you can't be shaken by this to your very core. So I can only hope that at the very least this raw, very unfortunate, very difficult emotional impact that I think a lot of people are experiencing might lead to a rethink on, we're talking about, you know, appreciating the potential horrors of nuclear war but also lead to a newfound appreciation for the horrors of conventional war as well.  So my hope again is that even everything else put aside that this can also have an impact that we can take away that will help us liberate Palestine eventually in our lifetime but also to avoid war and, you know, be more willing to fight for peace, which I think is a art that has been lost a little bit in the past few decades, even amongst progressives. Thank you, Lucas. Eric, our political director, actually now based in Greece, not Brussels anymore. I'd like, I have a question for you. I mean, there's a kind of far right surge which is going on at the moment in the EU. Portugal, the Netherlands, and in opinion polls for the European elections. How might that impact the prospects of war or peace going forward? Well, Mechelen, that's a good question. We are in this tragic situation where some of the most reactionary backward political parties in our continent are positioning themselves as champions of peace. So, and you will see Macron as an excellent case study of this. Same with the IFD in Germany. My cat feels very strongly about this as you can probably hear in the background. Known anti-fascist, my cat. They're positioning themselves opposite to the establishment. So where the establishment has been gun-hole on the war has been following blindly the indications and the orders of NATO in the United States. The far right has been positioning itself opposite that, often due to close links to Putin and his regime, but not only. So that creates a very awkward situation for other progressive forces such as us because the tried and tested old technique that the establishment has had of creating a bipolar political space where you're either for one position or the other forces us to appear as if we are in agreement and on the same side as the far right. As fascist parties when we speak out against the war. So they oversimplify this by presenting us as being, I say us because obviously all of our mirrors and the M25 than equivocations to war have been since day one, presenting us as being Putin lovers, as being dangerous utopians or whatever else have you. So it really obfuscates and confuses the narrative and the discussion making it very awkward for anybody to speak out against the war unless they be compared to fascists. This is the upside down tosy-turvy world that they created through this narrative. And it makes a lot of progressives hesitate to speak out against the obvious, right? So when that's something that we haven't, we haven't hesitated. We've been there since day one. We've taken the political, we've paid the political price for that. And this question also kind of guides, I think, the conversation to where it really needs to go, which is the, what is going on now in Ukraine to a certain extent also the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza. This is the result of the West doing what it's always done, which is to export its internal political issues. So in the US, you've got the incredible conflict between Democrats and Republicans who can't agree on a budget, but agreed last week to ban TikTok almost unanimously, even though they haven't been able to agree on anything else, which also kind of shows you where their main political fears of the US is right now, i.e. China, not so much Russia. So these conditions are basically exported internal conflicts, same goes as Yanis very well put it, for the case of France, where essentially Macron is trying to position himself against Le Pen, and therefore is driving his country, and unfortunately the rest of the European Union, therefore probably most of Europe deeper into this conflict, same situation in Sweden, which has joined NATO recently, that's a country where the far right, the Swedish Democrats has been triumphing election after election, and so on and so forth, because war has its own momentum. When parties, political parties, and especially governments, cannot handle internal conflicts, they try to shift the attention of the voters of the population of society externally to an external enemy, and unify therefore the population, the voter society against that external threat. That is basically what many of our governments are doing incredibly cynically, and very, very dangerously, in order to try a Hail Mary last throw of the dice before the European elections, to salvage whatever can be salvaged from their horrendous last few months and years of polls, most of the center is set up to fail against the far right. So basically what is currently being done through Ukraine and to a certain extent in Gaza and the Middle East, is trying to externalize these internal issues that Europe is facing, its own weaknesses, and throwing Ukrainians, Palestinians under the proverbial political war bus. This cynicism is what's driven so many of our fellow citizens away from voting at all, because they can see it, it's not the people are not dumb. And therefore I think our role in these elections is to show through exactly this stable and consistent position that we've had that there can be political voices who stayed true to what they believe, regardless of the political games that everybody else is playing. And through this stance, re-inspire a certain sense of hope in politics, not in creating immediate solutions, but electing representatives who will do what nobody else does, which is to say things the way they see it and represent people, regardless of the kind of pressures that they might be under. I think Yanis is very right in saying that we shouldn't lie to people and pretend that through the European Parliament we can change anything we can't. It's designed to be impossible to change anything through the European Parliament. But what we can do is to use that as a platform to speak out for what is right and create a bigger mass around some of these common sense things and an opposing poll to the onward march of the far right, because if we expect the establishment to do that, we'll just be seeing more of the same. Thank you, Eric. A couple of comments from the chat.  Let the politicos do the fighting instead. Der Blinder notes that Mrs. Straks Zimmermann, a prominent politician in Germany's FDP party, wants to continue supplying all kinds of weapons to Ukraine. She's also on the board of Reinhmetall, which is the large German defense contractor. This is how politics is done in the EU, says Der Blinder. I did not know that, what you say. I can't verify it, but it would not surprise me. And Armando says, even the Pope was labeled Putinist, so carry on, guys, we need peacemakers. Panos, panos denos. Based in France, it was yours. Thanks, Mehran. Hi, everyone. I note that a couple of days ago, the UN Secretary General said that we are closer to nuclear war than we have been for decades. So that's one authoritative opinion. Also, a few days ago, we had Russian elections, and I noticed that Germany came out and said that they don't recognize the result because the elections were a sham, which probably they were. And then I tried to find out who accept those elections and who congratulated Putin for winning. And it was China, Turkey, India, Korea. Basically, it was much harder to find countries that did not congratulate Putin, even though he came out a winner with 90%, even though there were irregularities, even though his biggest political opponent died in prison. And what I'm trying to get at is that this person or this country has a lot of support throughout the world, in the global south for sure. And they also have a war economy. They have many military options. They can bring the war to the Balkans. Vucic yesterday or the day before, after signing an agreement with Russia, said that it's their decision when Serbia will invade Kosovo. They can bring the war to Transnistria, which is the eastern slice of Moldova. Like I said, they have a war economy, a hardened population. This is the power that Macron says has to be defeated. And that's why we don't exclude sending ground troops. Well, before they are defeated, they have many options, including tactical nuclear weapons. If they feel threatened, they will do that. And that is considered an escalation to avoid further escalation. Like we're serious about it. We're gonna use nukes. It's not the end of the world, but we'll do it. But everyone knows that this can really go out of control. So the point I'm trying to make is that the West insisting on their core narrative that the Ukraine cannot lose, that Russia has to be defeated and to rationally pretend that they can have a plan for this to happen. Is a bit of a scandal. The real scandal, the biggest scandal is that sooner or later, some scientists are going to announce that we have passed the point of no return in terms of the climate catastrophe. We probably have passed it already or we're gonna pass it soon. This is the existential threat for Europe and the world. This is the emergency. It's not nuclear war. I cannot accept that we are not dealing with this and we're dealing with this other huge emergency, which is the war, a nuclear war, which is completely artificial. I mean, it could be scaled down tomorrow. So if we pass the point of no return, what is Macron or Biden or Schultz gonna tell me that Ukraine had to win? And in the meantime, if this has happened, I know with the mathematical certainty that the country where I live will be a desert, all the forests are gonna burn.  Before that, you will have war, violence, and if you survive, you will be ashamed of the things that you had to do in order to survive. This with mathematical certainty. So we're facing this and instead, the headline is nuclear war, Ukraine must win and this and that. So I'd like to conclude with this. For me, it is the biggest scandal for any government to put any sort of national interest, whether it is for Ukraine, for their economy, for their dying empire or whatever, to put any national interest above the supranational interest of avert climate change and not treating this as a number one priority. Because this will go against their national interest as well and it is very clear. Thanks. Thank you, Panos. And further to what you just said, war is also terrible for the environment as well as the absolute horrors that it inflicts on populations. So I'm reading a statistic here that says that the first year of the war, the Ukraine war, was equivalent to roughly the annual emissions of Belgium. So bad news on all fronts. Let me just see who is next. Johannes. There we go. I lost you there, sorry, in the sea of text. Johannes Fair from Germany, thoughts yours. Don't worry, thank you. Yeah, I think by the way, that's one of the reasons why the big military industrial complex was never included in the Kyoto protocols and so on to not shine light on the awful, awful statistics that every military and especially of course, mores have on the climate. What I wanted to contribute with is a point that you asked earlier to look as if the war or the genocide, not the war that's happened, it's happening in Gaza, has made changes in terms of how we see peace and war and how parties positioning themselves on that topic. As Eric also explained in the past, suddenly the right wingers were trying to present themselves as the peace lovers. I think in Germany at least the situation in the last month and what's going on in the Middle East has changed that a bit because in the past already, for example, the son of Benjamin Netanyahu, he was quoted by the AFD, the right wing party in Germany online and shared those posts. So you can see the clear links there. And if you look at the policy of the German government, which is awful on this conflict, of course, if you look to the conservative party, the rhetoric is worse and that's the biggest opposition party in Germany. Plus, if you look then further right to the AFD, it is even worse when we were protesting last month outside the German parliament against the right wing search in Germany, both in the government and also in the polls with the fascist day party rising. Our chance were Israel bombardiert, Israel bombards, AFD uploadiert, AFD uploads. And that is the reality. And there has been a change in, yeah, of course, also unfortunately, even the progressives in Germany, there is just a too small part of it, of them, of us that are against this genocide actively and a lot of people are silent on it. But I think on that conflict, you can clearly see the old divide between the right wing pro-war and pro-support of these massacres and us on the left fighting against it. Thank you, Johannes. Daphne, Daphne Delcara, based in France. Hi, I just also want to touch upon something. There's been so much obfuscation about the clear consequences of decisions made by governments. Normally, this would be the press's job to communicate to the public. What are the consequences? What are the options and so on? But of course, this whole, be it Palestine or be it Ukraine, it's just been a complete dog and pony show from the start, where I don't know, Biden will say, oh, we are opposed to what Israel is doing as if they have no material relationships with the Israeli government. And I'm like, oh, we're just saying it's bad, but why is nothing happening? And it's very similar with the war in Ukraine where it's like, oh, we must aid, we must, but like, and I'd like to come to what Lukas has said. Until when? When is it enough? Like, there's nobody is really drawing these boundaries in the public sphere, let's say. And that's why it's so important to have non-career politicians elected that can at least stand up and like present these lines. So I want to say all right, those number I came across, which was really interesting to me is that, so according to a survey done by the European Council for Affairs or Relations, whatever, only 10% of Europeans believe that Ukraine can win the war. That's a very shocking number to me. 10% only. So then we must ask, what's the next step, right? But nobody's like getting this real, concrete conversation going. But like when Macron proposes sending troops, then that gets really real. That's something that everybody can understand instead of weird aid mingled with like military where you don't really know what is what. People understand aid maybe as food, others understand that's weapons. So once Macron says sending troops, then we see like, for example, in the polls 76% of French people are completely opposed to this. So I think that's very important. Thank you Lucas for underlining that and I just want to give these little numbers. Thanks. Thank you, Daphne. A couple of final comments from the chat here. Mark says the military industrial complex should be retooled into the infrastructure development complex. The Goonie notes that NATO has never stated to where they would like to grow to. Patriotic EEC says people need to consider one scenario. What if the goal is nuclear war? And Sebastian asks something I often hear actually. If Russia wins and gets what they want and we let them, what is to stop them from asking for more and more? What's to stop them from invading the Balkans, Transnistria, et cetera? And as I hand over to you, Yanis, perhaps if you could tackle that question, because we often hear it, that Putin has imperial ambitions and just won't stop and negotiated pieces to his advantage, what would you say to that point? Well, there are a couple of questions. I'll answer that question, but first there's another question from the chat, and one or comment that Ukraine had inherited nuclear weapons from the Soviet Union, but it gave them up and wasn't that a stupid mistake on the heart of the Ukrainians or something along those lines? Well, to our friend who put that comment on the chat, I have a question. Suppose Ukraine had retained the Soviet nuclear weapons, what good would it have done? What good would it have done? They're completely useless. Imagine, again, the same scenario, February to 2022, Putin's troops invade Ukraine, and if Ukraine has nuclear weapons, would Zelensky press the button? That would be humanity's annihilation. So Zelensky, unless he was a madman, complete madman, would not press the button, even if the Russian troops are storming Ukraine. In a sense, nothing would have changed, because Putin would have already worked that out, and he would have gone ahead anticipating that Zelensky would not press the button, and the United States would not let Zelensky press the button anyway. So that's that question. Now, coming to Sebastian's question that, Mehran, you asked me to comment on. Okay, suppose that you're right, and Russia is a force that is unstoppable, and if they get their way in Ukraine, they will then storm the Balkans, Germany, Poland, whatever. Now, if you believe that, then you should be arguing for mobilization by NATO, German, French, American, Greek, Portuguese, troops on the ground to stop a Hitler-like Putin. If you believe that, go ahead and advocate that. NATO is not advocating that. All of Schultz is not saying no way. Yeah, they're going to be German troops in Ukraine.  They're talking about Putin as if he's a Hitler that wants to take the whole of the European continent like Hitler wanted, and tried to, and almost succeeded. But at the same time, they're not prepared to do against Putin, that which they did against Hitler. So they don't believe it. If you believe it, advocate it. My estimation of Putin is that he's only interested in coalescing along Russia the Russian-speaking areas. Russian-speaking areas, like Donbass and Luhansh, which in his view, were taken away from Mother Russia after the 1991 disintegration of the Soviet Union. He doesn't have either the will nor the capability of moving beyond that. You could see that in Ukraine, he's thought. His war was a failure. He may be inching forward today after three years, but militarily he has not won, and he's nowhere near winning. And I don't think he has the capacity to do it. Now, let me look at it from a different perspective. The moment Putin ordered his troops in Russia, Dim-25, we came out with a very principled position. We were not neutral. We didn't say, ah, we don't take sides. Remember what we said? We're always on the side of the invaded. Whether the Ukrainians, the Yemenis or the Palestinians, we are always with those whose land is occupied by a foreign army. When Mariupol was destroyed and the theater, the beautiful theater was turned into smithereens and the hospital was bombarded with much loss of life by the Russians. We came out and condemned the Russians for that. But we were the only consistent political force because we did the same when Gaza was invaded, when the Gaza...


Hello people of the internet, my name is Gianni and I'm kinda late to this discussion but I do want to quickly summarize every single new piece of info on security breach that we got the other week in the video's conference with SteerWolf. Cause even though SteerWolf and Scott specifically said we're not getting anything new, well we kind of did. We got a new point of view of an area which granted we have already seen before but hey, I'll take a new POV any time. New content is still technically new content. We got looks at some of the areas with RTX on and RTX off which is very interesting to look at. And then also SteerWolf answered a lot of questions that the community had.  If you're new to the channel make sure you're subscribed even if you are subscribed take like 2 seconds, double check because sometimes YouTube get this will unsubscribe you to channels which you've already subscribed to. It's really dumb but for some reason it happened so again please just double check make sure you're subscribed also hit the like button while you're down there. And now let's hop into it. First up I got two small topics I want to touch upon before we hop into the brand new area. We'll go deeper into this later on but all you need to know right now is that there is a day and night cycle in the game. And SteerWolf revealed that when the building is dark sometimes the lighting of the RTX makes the building seem way too bright when it's supposed to be dark you know during the night time and they're currently trying to fix that situation by adjusting the shadows and stuff like that. And also bathrooms were revealed during the conference. It was kind of a weird moment but yes there is indeed a bathroom in this complex and apparently one stall has like a big light in it that brights up the entire bathroom. So there you go toilets are going to be in security breach. Alright so now let's move over to the new perspective we got of the main entrance area the lobby. So this is the brand new perspective and currently you're looking at it with RTX on. Like I said it's not a brand new area but it is a brand new perspective on the area. You can see deeper into the Glamrock GIFs area. In fact if you look closely you can even see the caterpillar toy from FNAF 4. So there's some more evidence of objects from past games past events on the timeline coming to and appearing in this brand new mall later on very late in the timeline. We've seen it with Mr. Cupcake right now we're seeing it with the caterpillar from FNAF 4. So there's a lot of evidence of Fazbear Entertainment collecting artifacts of the past and putting them into this brand new mega pizza plex you know museum type area. And this is the area with RTX off as you can see it's a lot more bright mainly because the lighting doesn't really bounce off anything so it's just kind of there. And you can also see slight drops in details right I think a good place to look is on the palm trees and on the fruity statue and also in the Glamrock GIFs area itself. So that's the new perspective of the lobby now let's hop into the RTX on and off of different areas. So I took these from Darko's video but as you can see this is L-Chip's restaurant with RTX off and then RTX on.  Of course it looks better with an on but I'm just I'm shocked that it still looks this good with RTX turned off so that is a huge relief. And then we move on to the ice cream area, RTX off and then RTX on. Again it's crazy how good it still looks with RTX off. I think notable changes are the balloons and also take a look at some of the chairs and then also the ceiling how the pink rod right there of light doesn't bounce off of the ceiling anymore. And now I'm going to move on to the Q&A part of the conference. We got a lot of new details here so I'm not going to waste any time let's hop into it. First off let's go back in time to help Wanted specifically Princess Quest. Someone asked Steer Wall can we expect an update to Princess Quest minigame in Help Wanted Mobile? There was a locked door that couldn't be opened in some unused assets. Andrew Dayton who if you don't know is the CEO and I believe founder of Steer Wall replied with maybe. So I think it's pretty safe to say either before the release of Security Breach to tease it up more or maybe after SB's release where they want to go in and add more detail to Princess Quest I'm sure we're going to get an update to it. I mean think about it if we weren't going to get one if they weren't thinking about it they would have just said no but instead Andrew said maybe. Now of course they could change their mind over time but I don't know again there was that locked door and a lot of unused assets so that would explain you know Act 2 of the minigame. Someone else brought up Help Wanted saying will there be something similar to the scrapped Showtime feature from Help Wanted in Security Breach. Andrew Dayton replied with Showtime never heard of it so I really don't know what to think here. I don't see how Showtime would be implemented into Security Breach at least the Showtime that we know of from Help Wanted. I think if anything we'll get a performance from the Glamrock and Matronix. Kind of like what we saw in the first teaser on ScottGames.com where they're on the stage performing I hope that we can see something like that. Castirwell knows that the community was really hyped up for the Showtime in Help Wanted and they even said that maybe they'd go back to it but no it wasn't in the game they never went back to it but they kept the button so I don't know I hope that we can see a Showtime in Security Breach. So this is what I'm talking about I can't tell if you guys meant there will be a day night cycles or did you mean the lighting for them. Andrew says without discussing any game specific mechanics which lets you know okay so the day and night cycle definitely has some role in the mechanics of the game presumably either with the aggression of the characters or just the sun and moon and Matronix which we will talk about later. A lot of the locations have two lighting scenarios a lot so not all of them I don't know maybe Andrew means all the locations but just by the word a lot that does not mean every single one. Day which we mean when the location is lit as if the pizza plex was fully open and operating and night which means when the lights are basically all shut down and we've seen both of those modes you know. So just like that that does indeed confirm that there was a day mode and a night mode in the pizza plex. I know we did see it in the gameplay trailer but some people were still kind of skeptical but there you go. Someone brought up the design of the glam rock saying did Steelwall or Scott make the designs themselves along with the mechanics and such. Andrew replies with the glam rocks with Scott's initial idea. We helped with the designing and obviously making and implementing them. When Scott showed us his initial idea we were super excited. Jason Toblowski sorry about that last name butchering the game director and I are both 80s kids which means what is retro for a lot of people would just design elements we grew up with and Scott actually replied to this post on the subreddit saying this. To give credit where credit is due Claudia Shroudner aka Pinkie Pills drew the initial illustrations designing the look of all the glam rock animatronics. Pinkie Pills actually replied to Scott saying as I said on Twitter there wouldn't have been need to credit me. It was an honor doing this it is my job. A little smiley face. Thank you so much for creating this awesome series. Moving on someone asked about the AI system. I only have Andrew's response saying oh I can't go into our AI system. Our co-founder and lead engineer Stuart would murder me and stuff me into an animatronic suit Andrew we would not want that. But we do know as we are exploring the environment the animatronics will be trying to hunt us down and find us. We've seen that with Roxanne and Montgomery in the gameplay trailers and also Chica as well when we're in the kitchen. Not sure if you can answer this but how much of a role do you guys play in writing the game or does Scott write everything for you? It is really collaborative but Scott has final say in everything and he creates the overall story concept. When we have unique ideas we're comfortable pitching them to him and he really is super receptive which really allows us to have a creative voice. And actually as I've heard from other people who have worked with Scott apparently Scott is usually super free and open to you know people doing their own thing with their project. So if someone creating a game for example Starewall or one of the you know initiative creators or maybe even Illumix has an idea usually Scott's very free and you know open-minded to this suggestion. I wanted to ask will DLSS help optimize the game properly when being ported to multiple platforms?  And actually this is a response from Richard not actually Andrew Dayton. I'm guessing Richard is maybe more on the technical side of the game than Andrew is. DLSS for now is only on RTX hardware. It relies on the AI tensor cores of a PC RTX graphics card. Yes, yes Richard I know exactly what you're talking about. However the software is evolving in the future we will see. This is a long one. Hey there big fan of FNAF and I love what we've seen of Security Breach so far. If it's okay I'd like to ask a question about the history of Help Wanted. Was there a reason behind switching out the animatronic spring Bonnie for Malhair slash glitch trap in the final game? And will we ever get to have a full look at spring Bonnie's full model? Andrew surprisingly replied with so many good questions so many secrets I can't talk about. Yeah so if you guys didn't know originally spring Bonnie was going to be in Help Wanted instead of glitch trap. I believe he had some asset in the in the game files where he was in front of one of the curtains and also I mean probably the most well known appearance of him was on that scottgames.com teaser which had fan made you know trace over models from other games. I believe it was fun time foxy and then the spring Bonnie model was also from I think it was popco's memories. Yeah spring Bonnie was supposed to be in the game instead of glitch trap but I guess I don't know. Steer world does not want to budge about that about that answer. Out of currently revealed characters which one has been your favorite to design? Andrew applying with ooh that's hard. My personal favorite animatronic is Monty. If he wasn't a giant potentially murdery animatronic I would love to play a few rounds of minigolf with him. The wording is interesting here right? Potentially not a murderous animatronic? Does that mean at some point in the game he's good instead of trying to hunt us down and kill us? Opinions on the FNAF AR game if you don't want to answer that can you answer this? What are some early concepts of the Glamrocks? Sorry I'm going through a ton of questions I think what Alumix has done is super fun and a really great way of utilizing AR for entertainment. I got to talk to Kirin the CEO of Alumix before the pandemic and she is incredibly passionate about the FNAF universe and has a great team. It's not surprising that Andrew and Kirin have talked if you guys don't know the Glamrocks will be in FNAF AR hopefully sometime this year because Kirin revealed in an interview that they again are coming to the game but after the release of Security Breach. Also you didn't answer the question about the Glamrocks. Off topic question but what is your opinion on the memes and content around Security Breach? We have definitely shared some of the funnier memes on our stack channels. We do a little trolling. Hey Andrew did you see my video? I've made a lot of cool videos. Andrew have you made sure that you're subscribed to the channel yet? Same thing to all you other people watching make sure you're subscribed. What was the most difficult Glamrock animatronic to model? I'll ask our lead character artist Rodney and try and get an answer for you. Okay from our character team Roxy which honestly makes sense when you think about it it's probably all that hair that she has in the back of her head. I don't know why I said it like that like it was a bad thing that she had hair. So someone asked about the shots that we saw in the gameplay trailer because a lot of people were speculating and as it has been confirmed recently that it was old gameplay footage and this is what Andrew had to say. Those shots are a little older so they don't have final lighting or set dressing. I believe the playground area there it is was the least polished of the locations. I'm happy that this was asked because again the whole community was like I don't know about this one that play area doesn't look all that finished so I'm happy to know that they are still working on set dressing because again that play area looked kind of bland. Moving on to some more technical questions like frames per second and all that stuff. What's the FPS on PlayStation 4? This is for PS4 specifically and Andrew says that they are targeting 60 which if I'm being honest is a little concerning the fact that they said targeting 60 not actually 60 because that means that it'll probably dip below and then someone else talked about the RTX lighting and graphics. I see that it doesn't change the game dramatically. I'm glad because I probably wouldn't have been able to play it on my PC but I should be fine. It looks amazing even without the RTX you have done a really good job. Thanks for the positive feedback we're optimizing the game to be compatible for machines without RTX cards as well so hopefully you won't have a problem playing the game smiley face and that's from Kai so that is very good to know because a lot of people will not have RTX cards that will be able to handle the lighting and graphics for the game so that is very very very good to hear and this next response also builds on that saying despite all the efforts towards implementing RTX GI will you still work towards making no RTX look as polished as possible this is also Kai again absolutely just because RTX is an available technology we know that a lot of people won't have access to RTX currents we want them to have an excellent experience too moving on to some other questions we have a very interesting one is there an official name for moon drops daytime counterpart Andrew the big man himself say not officially there you go boys he also didn't dismiss the fact that moon drop is the name of the moon and matronik so i'm taking that as official as for the sun counterpart which i i don't know is that does that mean that they're the same character or not apparently they don't have a name yet which is interesting because i mean you're pretty far into development but who knows maybe the community will come up for a name for them and then that will just be their official name kind of like what happened with a what glitch trap and the freddles and golden fruity what is the difference in scale between help wanted versus security breach if help wanted was a piece of pepperoni security breach would be the whole pie a fruity faz bearer pizza plex pie of course so that is insane that like this game is huge and and andrew had to say that that is absolutely insane this game is going to be so big the biggest goddamn game in the franchise it's going to be amazing this is interesting i had no clue that i wanted to know this but now i'm so happy that i do know this you know piece of an aft act who came up with the idea of dreadbear he looks really cool so it'd be interesting knowing a bit about how he came to be it was a creative idea we had at steel wool and we pitched it to scott we had a few different names that we pitched before we settled on dreadbear so that's interesting i would assume that they pitched the entirety of the halloween update the halloween dlc to scott then and if you didn't know the original name of the curse of dreadbear was the rise of frank and freddy i believe moving on to some more princess quest we have will princess quest remain a mobile exclusive or will it ever come to other devices in the future wasn't princess quest some kind of glitch thingy i swear someone hacked that into the code i love you staying in character andrew but i'm really curious about the answer i really do enjoy princess quest i think it's a fantastic minigame and i would love to see it go to other platforms but unfortunately andrew staying in character did scott give you a comprehensive knowledge of the fenaflora when you started working with him or does he only tell you what he needs to if i told you what scott told us he would send an army of killer animatronics after us and ain't nobody want that yeah so we can assume that they know maybe quite a lot about the fenaflora what was the hardest thing you worked with while making the game was that the human models the animatronic models big props or smaller props andrew says the scope we dream big and scott was your crazy go do it which is just is so good to hear you know scott is so open he's such a neat and cool amazing dude if andrew's like yo scott i want to do this very poggers thing and scott's like hey you'll do it bet you won't and andrew's like bet anyways that's all the info i have for you today a very long video so thank you so much for sticking through the entirety of the video if you watched to the end again i've said this like three times at this point but make sure you're subscribed we're getting pretty close to 20k you know i think we're at like 17.1k it would be great to get to 20k so thanks for watching and i'll see you all on the flip side goodbye

So you probably clicked on this video because you also want to become like an expert or at least more advanced level of lucid dreamer than you currently are. So in this video I'm going to share some of the most powerful things, tips, techniques, ideas that I've learned in the many years that I've been a lucid dreamer and hopefully you can find something useful here and use it for yourself. So firstly, and I know I've said this before, but dream recall is the most important thing when you're first starting out and pretty much throughout the journey. If you can't remember the dreams you're having, it doesn't matter if they're lucid or not, it doesn't matter how many reality checks you're doing, it doesn't matter how many techniques you're trying, if you can't remember the dreams you're already having, it's going to be impossible to have, you know, meaningful lucid dreaming experiences if you don't remember them. So memory is the fundamental thing you should start with and if you can't remember one to two lucid dreams, normal dreams per night, then don't even bother trying to learn how to lucid dream until you can remember two dreams per night.  And even in that case, you will probably start to adapt very quickly and have start to have dreams again, the brain needs to dream. So you are having dreams, it's just a case of whether you remember them or not. Okay, so the second thing that I did to become kind of an expert lucid dreamer is that I absorbed everything.  But don't just go out there with a kind of shotgun approach and just absorb the first thing you find. No, here's what I would suggest you do. And this is certainly what I did is that you, in any topic you want to learn, find the experts, right? Find the people who are really good at it. They understand what they're talking about and try and find like a diverse range of experts. So you get a balanced perspective, you get the opinion of somebody from purely scientific point of view, you get the spirituality point of view, you get the, you know, the practical point of view, and, you know, various different points of views so that you get a completely balanced perspective and you absorb information from all of these different types of people. You can also do things like, you know, go and listen to the top podcasts, read the top books, watch the top videos so that you're not just getting all of your information from one place, let's say YouTube, you're also getting it from podcast, you know, products, courses, books, articles online, even some Instagram accounts, right? Just try and get a balanced perspective. And what you want to look for is where things overlap. So where multiple people in different places in different platforms are kind of saying the same things. This is where you will start to get an understanding of not only truth, but also what is the most effective. So the next thing I did, and I would advise you to do the same, is to focus on techniques. Only once you've learned about dream recall and you can remember, you know, two dreams a night. When you've done that, yes, focus on techniques, but try and combine them. Try and optimize them and figure out the best ones that work for you because you've got to remember like techniques. Every technique was pretty much invented or created by a person. So there's no reason you can't create a technique yourself. And really it's just a case of experimenting and finding what works for you. That being said, there's a lot of research that's been done showing that the mild technique, the mnemonically induced lucid dream, is I would say one of, if not the most effective. But I don't want to say, you know, it's kind of a bad practice to say it's the most effective technique because it really does vary from person to person. But experiment, tweak these things, try them out for yourself and see what works for you. I'm going to share the most powerful tip in a second. But firstly, just stick with it. Okay, be patient. I know this stuff takes a long time. And while you can do it instantly, it is possible to learn how to lose a dream in a few days. Even tonight, let's say, it's more likely than it's going to take you a while. It's going to take you a few days, a few weeks, a few months even to learn and build up skills and actually have the experience. But don't let that put you off. Okay, it's so worth it. And the results you get when you really build up the habits will stay with you for a lifetime. So now my most powerful tip or kind of bit of advice that I can give you, and this is really focused on if you just only care about results and you don't specifically care about long term habit building, if you just want to have your first, second, third experience, and you don't care what it costs, you don't care what it's going to take, then interruption combined with intention will get you your fast results. That is the magic bullet in my opinion. So what a typical person will do is they'll sleep for eight hours, usually it'll be uninterrupted and then they'll wake up in the morning and wonder why they haven't remembered any dreams. Well, what happens is that when you, we have these sleep cycles, right? So these 90 minute chunks of sleep which are made up of sleep stages. And then usually we will have four to five sleep cycles in a night and our REM sleep will get longer, you know, as you get closer to waking up in the morning. So what you might want to do is to try and interrupt your sleep regularly in that last few hours of the night. And I actually created a technique sort of revolving around this called a 90-isle. And you can find that on my YouTube channel or just search 90-isle on my channel. And basically you want to try and interrupt your sleep every 30 to 90 minutes so that you increase the chances that you're going to wake yourself up either during before or just after REM sleep. And of course, this makes it so much more likely that you will remember your dreams. And then when you go back to sleep, especially if you've woken yourself up before or during the REM period, it's very likely that you're going to lose a dream as well. If you combine that with an intention and like I've said in other videos, intention is everything by really deciding and intending to lose a dream. You make it 10 times more likely. So do this interruption technique. Okay. And then also intend to actually have a lucid dream. I mean, that's half the battle. It's actually wanting to do it. And you know, if you don't want to do it, then why are you still watching this video? But just really intend to actually have a lucid dream, interrupt your sleep and see what happens. I hope this has been helpful. I would love to hear your top tip and I will kind of try and read out the most upvoted one in my next video. I'll see you next time.

Nice one there for the Reds. Gunnar Henderson and Wilson Contreras. That's one of those artists that their fan base ruins the artist for me. Their fan base is the worst. Poguerro, there's Derek Jeter. Nice one there. Rivalry. Shohei and Oswaldo Parazzo. Hey, if you are a fan, you like going to the concerts, buy all means, do it. That's the issue.  The ticket prices are ridiculous. That's one thing that's I'm like, it's really like, come on. No, I mean, I agree with that same. It's ticket math. It's resellers on that one. It's all like people know, people are going to bot tickets like when they sell out and they're going to sell them. If you can't really, you know, Christopher Murrell, Ken Waldechuk and Bobby Whitt. Yeah, good. Bots are annoying for sure. Anthony Volpe, Chris Bryant, Blue, Logan Ohapi. Nice one there, 150 for the Angels. Well, he comes back healthy. Tobar and Jayran.

A Kodai Senga and Alex Brigman. Another guy that we'll probably see in updates, Matt McLean for the Reds. Probably another guy we'll see, which is pretty solid. He's having a great, he's like, he's having such a good year too. He's just like, obviously you're going to be overshadowed. Again, guys, just the Hawks are just the Knicks left now. That's it. Just the Knicks at number three at 70 bucks. They're going to have, I'm assuming a ton of that presence in this too outside of Kiehl's. Let's see. Kiehl's Rookie Auto, John Starks, Kenny Skywalker, Evan Fournier, R.J. Barrett Auto, Obie Toppin Auto, More Kiehl's. I don't know, Slates. I think if the season ended right now, I think Kiehl wins at 100%. I think if Kiehl gets, if this injury is bad and Ellie keeps doing what he's doing, I think there's a shot Ellie can take in the second half of the season. I mean, Kiehl's played pretty remarkably though. That's Orlando Magic legend, Evan Fournier. Shane Bieber, Jazz Chiselman Refractor, Freddie Freeman, Riley Green Rookie, Adley Rushman, and Logan Ohapi. Lenin Sosa, Rookie to 125, Green Speckle. Oscar Gonzalez, Hunter Green. Yeah, Morell is sneaky. He's a sneaky guy for sure. Yeah, true. I mean, it's right now, I think it's Carol. Max Meyers, we've got a gold auto coming up. Rafi Devers, that is going to be Logan Webb, 28 to 50. Nice one there for the Giants. It's like their ace now. Hey, H Wang picking up the mix. Thank you, buddy. Austin Riley, Corbin Carroll.

Jordan Walker, Nolan Aronato, there's Miguel Cabrera, Francisco Alvarez, and Zach Wheeler.  Thank you, buddy. We're down to on number four now. We're sold out on number three. Thank you, everybody. Number four is just down to the nuggets in the nicks. Rookie's, Mazatake Yoshida, Logan Webb. Oh yeah, Marcelo Meyers is going to be really exciting. Jordan Lawler when he comes up because the dime backs are good and then he met Lawler on the roster, which is kind of wild. Libertor, Headliners, Dave Winfield, Boba Shep, Shintaro Fujinami. That's a tough one. Next, Badroia. Badroia? Hey, never know. Yeah, you never know. I am happy to see him come up so soon. Yeah, he'll probably be, I think next year, it would probably be next year. Morel Rookie. There's Refractor, Cade Cavalli, Shea Langleers, and Brian Bale. So it's Tils Schimmer, Joey Votto to 175. Nice one there, Reds. Michael Harris Rookie, Nick Prado. Green Lava, Raffy Devers, 46 of 99 for the Red Sox, and Cannon Smith and Jigba. Nice one there, Rookie Otto for the Pirates. Bet you couldn't guess he's Jackson's brother. Nice one there, and Carlos Frey. Okay, to be fair, Bobby, I do like that song. That's actually a pretty good song. She's got good music. I'll give her that. I'm like, there's like four or five really, really good Taylor Swift songs. They're Asturie, Rees, or Fracture. Rookie, no Poisson yet. No, unfortunately not. No, probably won't be today unless somehow they put a 2020 Bowman card into this Mazataka Yoshida. There's a Fernando Tati, Jr., Col. Schmidt, Josh Young. How many Pasquines do you know? Nolan Gorman, Rookie, nice one there. Joey Manassas, and Christian Yellich, because that was a cool collab. It was her and Ketchum Maher. Like, that was pretty cool. When that song came out, I was like, this is pretty good. Not gonna lie. True, Timmy, true. It's not another case of this after, too, which is gonna be fun. Thank you guys for filling up every single break except the last one so far, just two to go in the last break here. Nuggets and Nicks. That's Wayne Vintage. There's Luis Castillo. Basin Bass. So Harris, the 250 on the blue Aqua Vapor, nice one there. Zatis and Wander. Yeah, Sam would buy cases. Oh, dude, I would be scalping those off. I would be buying, I would have a bot set up. Nuggets and, yeah, if she collabed with New Era, I'd be in on that. Fidlanzo, headliners, Mariana. Gunner Henderson and Wilson Matres. Got a golds coming up here. Refractor, Corey Seeger. That is going to be a moment's gold auto. Craig Bijio. 40 of 50, dude. That's awesome because that's the brick red Astros. Yeah, when you were talking about last time. Oh man, that's so cool. Wow.

I would say the Overpiguero and Canon Smith and Jigba.  Mostly Piguero. I'd say Piguero is probably the biggest one. Cade Cavalli. Seasazuki to 300. I had no idea he was in the checklist. I should have looked at that. Nolan Gorman. Jaxes. That'd be pretty funny, honestly. Ruiz. There's Juan Soto. J-Rod and Garrett Mitchell. They don't have a lot of vets in here. They have a couple of rookies though. Like I said, Piguero and Canon Smith and Jigba. These are two rookies. Both have autos too. Will we pull the Smith and Jigba in this case? And then I think we pulled the Piguero. Maybe not. No, we did. We pulled one. Pulled a base auto earlier. Yeah, there's one. Rice Terrang, baby. Petalanzo Refractor. Raffy Devers and Mike Trapp. That Bijo was... That was cool. Purple, Carlos Correa to 250. Nice one there for the twins, Aaron Judge, Manny Machado. I will be searching eBay for that over the next few days here until I officially do get one. Manny Pasconcino, Michael Conforto, Gabriel Moreno. Where are my Bijo jerseys? I gotta get a new Bijo jersey. Tell them another one. There's Leo Verguero, Rookie Refractor, Rookie Auto, Buddy Kennedy for the Diamondbacks. Nice one there in the City Connects. That's awesome.

Yeah, Pirates will be decent, for sure. They're an exciting team. Did you see Christian Yellich? Did you see Carlos Santana's dance? Oh yeah, he was doing well. Yeah, it was so on his walk-off. Bo Nailer, Joey Vado. That was so cool. I love that. Spencer Steer, Salvador Perez, Refractor, Seas of Zuki, and Aramokunia. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. I didn't see this. Uh-oh. Oh, this is going to be so sick.

Volpe, Rookie, Chris Bryant. There's Hoseil, Tube, Refractor, Austin Riley, and Corbin Carroll, Rookie. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Halle. That was freaking awesome. Oh, I'm so excited now.

PNC is beautiful, too. Ken Griffey Jr., headliners. Logan Webb and McClanahan. Yeah, PNC is definitely like a bucket list, like a top 10 stadium I want to go to. Levergeorge, Grom, Trey Turner, Refractor. My cousin said, like, back when they were really bad in, like, the early 2000s, my cousin said he went there, bought it, like, he was driving, he went to college in Indiana, so he was driving back to Indiana. He stopped in Pittsburgh to go to a Pirate's Games, and he was like, I was the only one in my entire section in the outfield. He's like, they hit a home run out there, and he's like, I literally just walked over and picked it up. Yeah. Vaughn Grissom, Volpe Rookie, nice one there. Ronald O'Coonia, 300 for the Braves.

meat boy is back today we are making a carnivore mayonnaise this is great for mixing with canned seafood like tuna you could use this to make deviled eggs crab cakes put this on your steak many uses for mayonnaise especially when it's delicious as this one let's take a look at the ingredients every mayonnaise contains an emulsifier traditionally that is eggs today I'm going to use duck eggs and for the oil for the fat I'm going to use duck fat normally Helman's mayonnaise is going to use low quality conventional egg yolks they're going to use soybean oil so the nutrient density really depends on what eggs you're using and what oil you're using another reason I chose duck fat is because it has a high mono unsaturated and polyunsaturated fat content therefore it's liquid at room temperature it'll make it easier to make this mayonnaise I actually have a Wagyu beef tallow on Frankie's for range meat that's very mono unsaturated that would be great for this as well traditionally use Dijon mustard in mayonnaise this is a French Dijon mustard I got this at Whole Foods it's one of my favorite brands because the only ingredients are water salt vinegar and mustard seeds very minimal a lot of times you'll see preservatives nitrates a bunch of spices in the mustard we need acidity as well I'm using apple cider vinegar very classic sometimes they use white wine vinegar a lot of times lemon juice is added of course we have salt and I'm gonna add a little bit of honey just to bring out all of the flavors and there are many many options you can substitute here you know here's some red wine vinegar as an example and the main thing is the oil so here I have high oleic peanut oil olive oil from California decent quality stuff macadamia nut oil you know whatever oil is relatively low in the like acid I deem all of these acceptable you guys might think like Frank are you crazy that's peanut oil this is high oleic it's not oxidized not as prone to oxidation so now there are many options depending on how strict you are with your diet you know avocado oil may be another option but as with everything when we concentrate these plant foods into oil you know there is an herbicide and a pesticide concern there is an oxidation concern and it is nowhere near as ideal for our health or as nutritious as an animal fat first is two egg yolks now I'm going to incorporate some air into the egg yolks this is a lot easier to do in a blender you know with an emulsifier but I'm assuming some of you guys don't have that equipment as we are not all vegans now I'm going to separately mix my non oil ingredients half a teaspoon of mustard and be very very careful with the mustard guys if you add a little bit too much it's really overpowering half a teaspoon of salt two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar if you're using lemon juice use one tablespoon of lemon juice and one tablespoon of whichever vinegar you'd like one teaspoon of honey we're going to whip this into the egg yolks about a teaspoon at a time this is a very common French technique they use egg yolks to emulsify a lot of sauces you can even do this with like a chicken stock or a beef stock any type of liquid can be incorporated into egg yolks so we could see the liquids not separated we'll add another teaspoon our mixture is emulsified there's plenty of air incorporated we're going to slowly add our oil one cup total so this is 11 ounces I'm going to use most of this jar maybe two tablespoons at a time here if your fat isn't liquid at room temperature what you can do is warm it up and you could even do this mixing process over a water bath on the stove some of you might be wondering yes duck fat is high in omega six you do want to be careful about that so you know if you can get pasture raised duck fat or pasture raised chicken fat that will be better when you have about half of the fat incorporated you'll notice the mixture start to thicken after about 10 minutes of whisking this can set up in the fridge for a couple hours or overnight after several hours in the fridge you will have a nice thick mayonnaise let's give this a taste that's really good really ducky the duck fat is so delicious I could probably eat this whole bowl as you can imagine it really tastes like what's in it nothing's too overpowering you don't get too much of the mustard too much of the acidity too much of the honey but every single thing is there very duck forward as I said because you know we use duck eggs we used duck fat so the more neutral oil you use the more this would probably resemble mayonnaise so if you're gonna pair this you know with a steak maybe you do want to use beef tallow you're gonna pair this with tuna maybe you want to use olive oil you know this would for me go great with eggs go great with anything really so definitely give this a shot next week I will be making you guys some crab cakes so be sure to check that out thank you guys for joining me if you could please above all share the video if you enjoyed this definitely like the video subscribe if you haven't hit that Bell icon if you guys would like to support me further you can check out Frankie's free-range meat as I said earlier we have the Wagyu beef tallow that's really mono and saturated super delicious something you might want to try with this you can also go to Frankie's naturals for minimal ingredients minimally processed hygiene and cosmetic products thanks again for joining me guys and enjoy the rest of your day


The total fertility rate, in short, TFR, is a predictive number of births per woman in a year based on the last annual figures of births per woman of childbearing age. Last year, Hong Kong recorded the lowest ever total fertility rate at 0.9925, with only 46,200 babies born, in mark contrast to 63,396. In order to maintain a stable population, a total fertility rate of 2.1 is needed. Hong Kong's rate is far below those of other societies. Gaza, for example, recorded a rate of 6.1 last year. None of the industrialised developed societies had a total fertility rate of 2 or above. Hong Kong's rate was on a par with European averages, but, in comparison, was still lower than its East Asian counterparts, such as Singapore. The rate of 1.25 recorded in Singapore last year was a considerable drop compared to 1.7 in the mid-1990s. While the number was still higher than Hong Kong's 0.9925, the Singaporean government is alarmed. Unlike their Hong Kong counterpart, which has not taken any practical actions, they take a more comprehensive approach to solving the problem and focus on encouraging more Singaporean citizen babies. Extending the period of maternity leave, providing increased financial assistance for child and infant care, and enhancing tax incentives are among the numerous measures their government is prepared to implement to combat the accelerating decline in TFR. The Hong Kong government, on the other hand, has proposed nothing but verbal encouragement for families to have more children.
