It's good. How much fun? How you been pretty good came back from Morocco came back from Morocco for a trip Yeah, yeah, so was a highlight your trip probably this are deserts, you know being on top of a dune They're like four or five stories high so to get up all the way It's quite a workout, but I caught the sunrise 6 30 a.m. In the morning. I was pretty dope I was a breathtaking. It was really breathtaking and a good exercise you and I before filming this You were mentioning that the spare between poverty and the rich over there. Yeah, it's pretty drastic pretty drastic Yeah, I mean the average Moroccan makes about ten thousand dollars a year. It's not very much at all Yeah, and then the rich, you know, they do well.  Hey, yeah They took this one city called if rain. Yeah, and they call it the Switzerland of Morocco It's and it's quite literally you're in the desert. Yeah, you go in and every street the cafes everything Yeah, it's where the French go to ski Because it's cheaper interesting. Yeah, so what would you what would you say is? The biggest industry is like how the wealthy making money over there Exploration Interesting, okay, I didn't interact with any wealthy, right?  They are there. That's that's I think people think McDonald's is in the business of burgers It's the real estate in the real estate real estate business What do you think? Well, obviously we're kind of in a bubble here in North America with like the digital e-commerce and online marketing Do you see it ever? Proliferating in that region of Africa or no, I think so. I mean if you look at Africa is one of those continents that have had hyper leaps in terms of technology They didn't put in any regular phone lines. They went from mobile phones and cell phones Yeah, and I think payment technology is going to increase over there as well. A good example actually is India I mean India is being a cash-based society for a long long time. Yeah, and now it's really changed a fucked up Man was a couple days ago the denominations really changed. Yeah It was actually a software entrepreneur that introduced this concept of the government for payment tech tied to essentially It is a social security number and it's called an odd hard card Yeah, and unless you've got one of these you can't have a bank account. You can't even get a cell phone Oh, that's a candle though. You can't get a bank account. That's a number. It's true You're trying your time George. You can't I think over here. You can just get a burner phone if you wanted to oh, yeah Yeah, you can't do that. Yeah, like, you know, you can do it in Thailand I didn't rock by just as soon as I got off the plane. I got a SIM card guys know what a burner phone is a burner Google it Everyone should know what that is. Yeah, but honestly, I mean it's it's one of those things where I think it will have that hyper leap And it'll it'll become you know, I also understand the trust-based economy of the system, right? So like if you look at Finland, yeah, they've almost done away with cash entirely really instead of using The lending system using, you know credit cards what they have is a debit card based system Okay, that is almost real-time transfer Interesting, so, you know, you can actually see the balance like deduct from your account and and into the other merchant or maybe your friend So much like crypto in a way, but not cryptocurrency, but it's like open ledger open ledger Yeah, you know supported by the banking system and a lot of transparency in there as well. Yeah Now going back to Africa, obviously, there's Kenya that then pays over there So the cell phone minutes for transaction. I think the market caps like two three hundred million dollars and that was created at a necessity But going back to India right now because of the nominations dropped Yeah, what does India need to do right now to kind of get them out of their predicament? And what what predicament are you talking about with the currency like let's say it's now devaluation of the currency What's it going to take to increase evaluation again? Well, so there's the immediate sort of thing that's going on which you mean if you guys don't know India You know, it's essentially fight crime. Yeah, took away the 500 rupee and the thousand rupee No, a thousand rupees is not a lot of money. It's about 15 US dollars. Yeah, so and You what they what I mean by taking them in a way is, you know, there's new notes coming that have better tracking Yeah, it's not like they just did away with the currency at all. In fact, they introduce it a two thousand rupee note Yeah, but what ended up happening is this if you have this money overnight it became useless So you have to go to the bank and exchange it. Yeah, but the bank would only let you exchange about 4,000 rupees a day.  Now's the wedding season in India. Yeah, so their families are shoring up, you know 250 to 300,000 rupees wedding season because everybody accepts cash and For everybody who's got these thousand rupee bills, which is the highest Denomination of bill until the decision was just made. Mm-hmm. They're shit out of luck Right, so they're going to their their sort of Familiarial networks and giving money to their relatives and having these relatives line up at the bank for three hours a day So they can exchange this money and they had to make 13 to 15 trips to fund a wedding You should see what happened with Bitcoin in India when that happened Thousand us a guy valuation. Mm-hmm. Yeah, you know coin, right? Well, you know coin. They got funding a couple of months ago 1.5 mil. Yes, Sunny's Sunny Ray over here But the actual acceptance and the need for cryptocurrency now in India just skyrocketed Yeah, which is great because like over here We're very privy and savvy towards like government involvement with the banking obviously we have in fact Canada has very good banking system in comparison to say even actually United States of shit But compared to the United States you insert in European countries But if you look at countries like India or China or Africa the relationship between the citizens and the government It's not like over here. Yeah, it's like every man for himself I don't trust the government in the aspect of whatever I can do. Yeah I think there's a reluctance for sure but in India for for people to have this level of scrutiny and yeah linking You know for a society that's always have been very cash-based. Yes, and largely I think the number is something like only 15% of Taxes are filed in India really They're a true libertarians No taxes, huh every man for himself. It's a little hard to enforce the government on a billion and plus people, you know And I bet like if you know, it's it's it's tough just even in America when you have 300 million plus You can only imagine a billion people and you got different religions. It's a problem really You can look at you can look at states like Like Singapore right five million people. It's it's always touted as a beautiful example. I love Singapore Yeah, it's so easy to live and work there as an expat or otherwise for that matter Yeah, but it's five billion people. It's the same thing. It's like Qatar Qatar's got five million people. Yeah, you try You know Multiplying that out to 300 million or a billion people. It just doesn't scale.  Yeah, and also the history of them You know each country is independent like you can't compare country X to country Y So I'm always like curious for all these people talking about what there's like new form of socialism or whatever it may be I'm like, yeah, but like you're talking about like very small countries. Mm-hmm. I Like to see that applied to a country that's 500 million people Yeah, the short answer is it can't be at least not in a short time frame a short time frame being say 10 years Yeah, you know, this is probably a 50 to 100 year type of journey Yeah, or a country to turn over and change. It's really generational. Yeah, right at that point in time I'm interested to see what Canada does that UBI program. They want to roll out Tell me about that. I don't know the universal basic income. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah So they're doing like a very small trial run right now in Ontario. I think they're giving giving certain people was it like 18,000 or something like that. Yeah, it has to replace welfare. There's no this or that in many other programs Like this is all you get. Yeah But I think there's also criteria is I think you have to do X one Z to get that Yeah, I think that you may I makes a lot of sense for Industries where you know automation and robots are gonna take over. Yes entirely, right? Yeah, so it's almost a safety net safety net that Prevents sort of civil riot even, you know first like take the trucking sector as an example, right? Yeah It's gonna become completely automated. Oh, yeah, right now in Europe They got Devolvos are fully automated going cross continental Europe. Yeah, exactly So, I mean, it's one of those areas where you need to retrain people. Yeah, and Until you do we've got people who are out of jobs and therefore can't put food on the table So what's your take on this with the say the robotics and the AI and automation litter in the next decade robotics is good I think fully sentient conscious AI is now But I think it's it's good. It's gonna happen regardless, right? And I think that in much the same way, it's like the second coming of the industrial revolution, right? It's a good way. Yeah, like essentially We're talking about machines having freed up the inability for us Like, you know, you can build muscle and you can obviously get exert more force to be able to lift things and move them around Mm-hmm the industrial revolution kind of took care of that and we had machines now doing that for us Mm-hmm and the next level is so robotics is just a continuation of that I think to applications that we weren't able to I mean very localized factories and plants is what we have today Mm-hmm, but to have machines move the transportation the streets and etc. Fully autonomously. I think that is a next step The part I think that scares a lot of people is can it replace how we think so is the second industrial revolution The part that we haven't outsourced in the last 200 years Which is you know being able to think and be creative and come up with ideas That's a problem right now. Like our educational system is a joke. Yeah, it's a vestige of that industrial Yeah, it's not up-to-date with what people need to learn and at the speed of what's happening Exactly yeah, and this is I'm not saying no education. I think everybody has a human right to be educated But I really believe a lot of people are gonna be in for a big shock. Mm-hmm You know within the next five years You're seeing fully self-driving cars in almost every major city Pittsburgh has at first I think six to ten ubers fully driving in Pittsburgh right now They've been on there for three months and so far so good Tesla just revealed. They're like fully Solarized island that produces everything and now you have your car can take it from point a point B So now you have an industry of people who are taxi drivers even though they're trying to fight so hard against uber They're gone automatically. Yeah, because it's gonna be cheaper because you're not paying anybody salary You're not paying anybody even like per gig. It's like the company literally owns the car Yeah, so they can become the Walmart of the industry. Yeah. Oh, yeah, usually like let's say your uber driver And so I do a lot of ubering from downtown Toronto to North York and I do a pool So uber if I do it uber by myself in Toronto from downtown Toronto to North York It's like 30 bucks give or take right uber pool you split 30 bucks among whatever.  Uber can come on a self-driving car the date on and literally undercut So if it's gonna cost me 30 bucks by myself like all right here's here's are like 10 bucks Why would you know why would I say no to now? Yeah, and they're making hands over fixed Because they can just uber pool with other people and they're making 40 bucks a trip I'm still so efficient, right? Yeah, that entire supply and demand they can match it up. So yes, yes And there would be really no Inefficiencies at that point and even traffic's better than imagine they hook up to ways like the app the goal and traffic over Here police up up there There's an issue over here. So they reroute everything. I think the future is this I mean the part of the middle is kind of scary when you have Automated cars and drivers and you have this hybrid model Yeah, and I think that's where the the big data accumulation and understanding will happen as to how will humans? Respond to automated cars driving the way they I wouldn't be surprised may not happen here It may happen somewhere else, but I would not be surprised if it was illegal for a human to drive Hmm because it's so dangerous I could see that actually happening in the Nordic countries first It's illegal because yeah my issue right now is not new technologies just for litigation issues like a Self-driving car hits a human car whose insurance covers who yeah, I mean those are some of the big ethical You know the dilemma is that and we work with a couple of insurance clients are powered by search Yeah, I mean that's that's the real deal. I mean who covers it. Who covers it? I'm quite fast.  I'm not it's really hard to kind of prepare for the future like I need this skill or that knowledge It's like just be mentally prepared that things are about to change rapidly pretty drastically. I would say I mean It's I think we're going to enjoy it from a consumer perspective first and just mean with Siri and Amazon You know echo and things like that moving to voice this search has been tatted from home I just saw that the other day.  So anything they were saying whether it's this or something else They'll index it brings up a lot of privacy issues too big time man And this is the I think the conundrum that the the educated person has which is you know My voice now no longer belongs to me. No, oh you see a Dolby. I did see That's minority report type stuff right even more reason why I want to double down on like cryptocurrency blockchain and yeah And anonymity and keeping private as much as possible. There's like simple tips people can do You don't want to get cookie you can use duck duck go if you want to really go in the deep end you can use tour onion Yeah, you can do VPNs to cheap a cell like 50 bucks a year There's no reason why somebody shouldn't be using the VPN. No reason you can get VPNs for your phone Actually every device every portal that you have you can get packages for VPN to cost you like a pennies a day Yeah, literally So everyone should have VPNs everyone should at least understand what tour is or onion the browser I understand you at least like other options and Google like you don't want to get hit with ads or cookies You can just go and duck duck go. I think I start off with just understanding that The default options that Facebook and Google have turned on for you are not in your best interest No, so get to know the privacy settings that are in your Google account as well as your Facebook I mean if you have an Android phone, one of the things that's automatically turned on I believe is just Google History tracking around which places you visit.  So did you see that thing? Sammy come card came out with It's a little USB port device that you can plug into your Mac Yeah, and it will take over your entire computer because what it does it showcases itself as As an internet hot as a wired connection, okay? So your your computer automatically thinks that hey, I'm on Wi-Fi. It should probably go over to wired. It's more secure Yeah, it's also faster


Keep your eyes closed. Ah, no peeking. Keep your eyes closed.  Open your eyes and that's right bucko We're talking about the curvy as a kid whenever this logo appeared on the screen before I played a video game I knew that I was in for a great time super smash brothers Pokemon stadium Earthbound but ever since the GameCube how laboratories have only really been making curvy games like a lot of curvy games Holy cow now. I love curvy as much as the next 31 year old youtuber man child But it's certainly not a favorite of mine. I can count the amount of curvy games I've played on one hand and not even my hand a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle hand whenever I've glanced over at Kirby's massive mouthful of a library all I see is puzzle games weird experimental ideas Which I do got to say canvas curse was my jam and various versions of side-scrolling adventures But still to this day my favorite Kirby was the very first one on the NES It stands up to the test of time and it's still one of the best games on that console Not that the competition was exactly steep The thing that's most impressive about Kirby's first adventure is that it was immediately quintessentially a curvy game The cuteness the charm the sucking the abilities the enemies ironic that the one video game character that actually Can change its form into literally anything never needed to it's so cool switching between this and forgotten land It's just like seeing this 30 year old video game being brought to life speaking of curvy being brought to life I heard that every target dressed up those giant big red balls out front in a curvy outfit That's so cute.  It's really great. Oh Sorry, I guess I'm kind of going full mouthful mode myself over here Normally I wouldn't eat while making a video of course. I do have to apologize It's just that Factor has such delicious meals and they're so simple to cook and prepare that I couldn't help myself I mean even Kirby would swallow this entire thing hole. Am I right? Factor supports wholesome eating made simple with weekly updated menus featuring over 29 mils and over 39 add-on options You can either choose your favorite meals or allow factor to craft the order based on your preferences And the best part is they have keto meals low calorie, which is the ones I go for but also chefs choice vegan and veggie options which includes seafood meat and plant-based meals, although Seafood is Kirby's favorite meal since he sees food What do you mean that wasn't funny? There's no prep time. There's no mess The meals are prepared in two minutes, which is way faster than cooking or ordering I worked with factor last month and I ended up enjoying and loving the mills so much I ordered 18 for this month because they are low calorie and because they taste so good with so many different flavors and styles It's been fantastic Just throwing one in the microwave after a workout or for a quick dinner when I'm literally sat here editing all day Which is exactly what I'm doing right now Here's what you gotta do head to go dot factor 75.com forward slash beat em ups one one and use code beat them ups one twenty to get our 120 dollars off thinking of someone who loves food. We should probably get back to the video After years of developing Kirby after Kirby after Kirby after Kirby after Kirby after Kirby after Kirby It really feels like how laboratories throughout all the old ideals of what makes a Kirby game and decided instead Let's just combine Mario Odyssey and Elden Ring No Why are you locking a combo? It's like Elden Ring No, not really It kind of feels just more like a proper evolution of the Kirby franchise and it's more reminiscent to something like Mario 3d world of the more recent Yoshi games except good and for those wondering Yes, it is actually a little bit harder than Star Allies by a little bit more difficult I mean you probably can't beat this game blindfolded and using a controller that's not even turned on sure the base game is Fairly casual, but it's fun and oh boy by late game Some of those bosses and even the platforming can become quite the challenge had to be in under a minute No way. I didn't do it. That was perfect How could I go any faster than that? Oh god, okay, this is good. This is the fastest one yet This one's brutal Like I feel like this is out of the realm of like a casual game of being able to do this I'm like really having to push harder than some of the Elden Ring bosses I don't really have anything to complain about here. I think it's the best Kirby. I've ever played But again, so maybe I'm not the person as I'm pretty sure stating that this is the most refined and content filled Kirby game so far isn't a giant vending machine size stretch to me the gameplay is Mario Odyssey Reminiscent because at its core it's smooth and fun with creative platforming and it's just also fast-paced, but Simple each world has a very different and unique visual style. The game is Absolutely gorgeous and easily one of the best-looking games on the console every level feels completely different Unlike my youtube channel the game never repeats the same idea twice unless you know It's adding to the idea it had but in a way that makes it feel fresh There's a ton of fun and unique copy abilities and they each have different attacks depending if you're on the ground or in The air there's different attack moves if you're just chaining combos or holding the attack button Some even have shields and special blocking abilities and all of that is before you even start finding all the Blueprints each one can be upgraded a couple of times and it's not just basic stat increases No, it completely morphs the ability into a wacky new version that acts completely differently and it's great Finally with the main campaign and the challenge levels and then even the post game content This game can take around 15 hours to finish and that's even if you're not going for a completion reading So I think that's a great link for a Kirby game not to mention all of that is before you even start spending some time In the waddle D town fishing boss rush battling fishing Guts are capturing ball balancing fishing serving food and finally did I mention big goldfish fishing the game is just so cute Pretty and fun. It's a nice time and I think they did a great job with it I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with Kirby next and I think you can finally slap a label of Kirby fan Right on my chest. Okay, but here is where things get wild I need to address the giant pink car in the room Kirby and the forgotten land doesn't tell you where or when the story is set So I can only assume it's in an alternate timeline after the fall out of Smash Brothers and everything has just gone to So now Kirby's out here all alone just trying to become the new very best Pokemon trainer in all the land Other than that that doesn't seem to be any rhyme reason or purpose for anything that's happening Is it just me or is this game like super random, which is like fine But like all of a sudden we're just fighting this random duck Ballerina called Florena like where did this come from like nothing has really been explained as a non-kobi fan I wasn't really sure what was going on at some point I just accepted that it was what it was and it's not like not having a story affected how fun the game was And I thought that was that but then Kirby and the forgotten land had to go and give me frickin whiplash Because in the last level suddenly there was like so much story I'm not gonna show you any of it for spoilers But but it was literally like a full-blown story with voice acting and multiple characters and cut scenes It became a full-on Kirby anime. It was sick and easily the best part of the game Hey, next time how laboratories do do that do that for the whole game My phone's ringing. Sorry two seconds.  Hey, man, dude.  I can't handle us anymore like okay for the uninformed out They're sure you didn't see this coming. Oh, man The game is so cute up until this point And then it gets great Okay, go and fight God at the end of the adventure thing has been a thing Basically, oh, that's normal for Kirby For the end of the game to be completely insane No Not at all actually if anything it's one of Kirby's defining traits So can you explain any of it to me?  So like there's dark matter, right? Which started off all the way back in dreamland 2 it was as dark creepy sinister being that was taken over dreamland Sorry guys. I got it.  Yeah, I got it Yeah, I think him So oh my god


I am Dr. Madhav Kamath, cardiothoracic and vascular surgeon attached to the Manipal group of hospitals here in Mangalore and I would like to talk to you briefly about the work that we do in our specialty. Cardiothoracic and vascular surgery implies surgical treatment of diseases involving the cardiac that is the heart, the thorax or what is called the chest and vascular that implies surgery on the major blood vessels in the body. So surgery of the heart, the chest and the blood vessels in the body encompasses the specialty eye practice, cardiothoracic and vascular surgery. I would like to talk to you briefly about diseases of the chest. Now the chest cage is situated above the stomach and below the neck and contains the major organs that serve the human body. The first of course is the heart. Then we have two lungs, one on the right and one on the left and the major foot pipe that carries the food that we eat from the mouth to the stomach. I would like to talk to you briefly about diseases that affect the lungs. The lungs as you know are the organs that provide the human body with the breath of life that is oxygen and the efficient functioning of the lungs is essential to provide adequate oxygen to meet the needs of the human body. Since we have two lungs, we have one on the right and one on the left, the body is eminently capable of surviving even with the loss of one of the two lungs that serve it. So we are lucky in that if a major disease affects one lung, life can still go on if the opposite lung is functioning well and that is why I would like to talk to you about the diseases of the lungs. The major diseases that affect the lungs are broadly classifiable into two categories. Infective diseases that is caused by infections and second non-infectious diseases, the majority of which are tumors and by tumors we are talking about the big C that is cancer. Of course tumors may not be cancerous, not all tumors are cancerous but suffice to say most tumors do pose dangers to the human body. Non-cancerous tumors, we are lucky in that they do not spread elsewhere but exert their influence on the body by virtue of their location in the chest and by virtue of the pressure that they can put on surrounding important organs. This mandates treatment even though the tumor is not a cancer. Cancerous tumors of course need to be treated because they have a tendency to spread and affect the whole body and kill by virtue of the spread even if the primary tumor in the lung is not the fatal one. Let us talk about cancerous tumors of the lungs. As we all know most cancers are best treated by surgical removal. The lung tumors are no different, however not all tumors are treatable by surgery. It is only in the early stages of any tumor that the tumor can be totally treated successfully treated by surgical removal. Lung tumors are no different. Early tumors that is stage 1 and stage 2 are tumors which can be completely and successfully treated by surgery and that is where the cardiothoracic surgeon plays the crucial role in treating patients with lung tumors. Patients who come to us, come to us with various complaints. The most important of which is cough. Now we live in an increasingly polluted world and the environment around us is saturated with pollutants, smoke, dust, industrial efflents, industrial smoke etc and all of these play an important role in the origin of lung tumors. So most patients who come to us present with a cough. So let me say do not ignore a persistent cough and say to yourself that it will go away. I do not need to see a doctor for it. A cough may be the first indicator of an underlying lung tumor. Other symptoms are also present. The most important of which is a cough which is associated with blood in your spit or sputum. So when you cough and you have a persistent cough and you are bringing up blood in your sputum that is a warning sign that should alert you to the possibility of a cancer in your lung. Other symptoms are a heaviness in the chest that is affected by the tumor, pain in the shoulder which can come down into the arm on the affected side, breathlessness making routine work difficult because you are becoming breathless, short of breath forcing you to take rest. Loss of weight which as we all know is one of the main systemic symptoms of cancer. All these symptoms should alert you to the possibility that you have a cancerous growth inside you. Do not delay in consulting your family physician or your treating physician with these complaints so that the doctor can go ahead with evaluating you and start the appropriate treatment protocol which will save you from the effects of this cancer. The most important and probably the simplest investigation is an x-ray of the chest. This chest x-ray will show a patch which may be the first indication that you have a tumor. Subsequently the presence of a patch should mandate further investigations in the form of a chest CT scan and once the presence of the tumor is confirmed a biopsy of the tumor to identify what sort of cancer it is because as we all know not all cancers are alike. There are different varieties of cancer and an identification of the type of cancer will give us important clues and guidelines as to how best it can be treated. Once the diagnosis is made the next step is to ascertain whether the tumor is restricted to your lung or whether it has seeded sites elsewhere and it has spread beyond the confines of your lung and chest. If you are fortunate in the that the tumor is restricted to the chest treatment can be completely and 100 percent successful provided the right treatment is instituted. If tragically it has spread beyond the confines of the lung then success is not necessarily guaranteed. So once you consult your doctor the relevant tests are made the diagnosis is established then we come to treatment and that is where you are treating doctor a cardiothoracic surgeon steps in. Early disease stages one and two are completely curable as I said with surgery. Now what is this surgery that we do in our specialty? Surgery of lung tumors involves removal of the tumor a term that is easier said than done. Now the lungs as we know are large organs situated in the right and left sides of the chest. The right lung is slightly bigger than the left the right has three lobes and the left which is slightly smaller has two lobes. Now the tumor is usually restricted to one lobe in the early stages and surgery instituted at this stage entails removal of the affected lobe only leaving the remaining lung behind. So removal of a portion of the lung in the form of a lobe means that the patient can go on with his life with most of his functioning lung left behind. This is called a lobectomy. Sometimes however if the tumor is so situated that it bridges a gap between one or more lobes then removal of one lobe will not be sufficient and the whole lung will have to be removed. This is called a pneumonectomy or a pulmonectomy and this means this entails removal of the entire lung. Luckily as I mentioned earlier in my talk we are blessed by God with two lungs. Removal of one lung does not necessarily mean the end of life if the other lung is functioning well life can go on without any major restrictions. So removal of the whole lung does not mean the end of your life after recovering from your surgery and completing the course of treatment for the cancer that is affecting you you can the patient can lead an absolutely normal life with normal life expectations. So a lobectomy or a pneumonectomy are the surgical treatments for early lung cancer. Advanced lung cancer as I told you before is not treatable with surgery alone but requires additional modalities of treatment where surgical removal of the tumor will have to be supplemented with either radiotherapy where you bombard the chest with x-rays called radiation or you give systemic injections long term injection therapy called chemotherapy that is beyond the limitations of this talk. So I will restrict myself to talking about the surgery alone. What about the surgery? Early surgery on the lung is a major undertaking 30 to 40 years ago when surgeries were still not streamlined as they are today this was a surgery which was associated with a high degree of risk. Today in the 21st century the surgical techniques for lung resections or lung removal have been so streamlined that surgical risks have reduced from double figures in the past to less than 2 percent today. It is not just the surgical technique that has been important in reducing this surgical risk but also advancements in anesthetic techniques, anesthesia techniques with excellent anesthesia care to take care of the patient during the major surgical procedure, intensive care following surgery, nursing care and the availability of excellent instruments for the performance of the surgery. All these have contributed in making lung surgeries safe and which will convey to the patient major benefits in the form of a longer life expectancy, normal life expectancy with a good quality of life. So here is my entry to you, any symptoms that are persistent with respect to the chest do not hesitate do not wait to consult your family physician consult your family physician undergo the necessary evaluation and proceed with appropriate treatment as the diagnosis mandates. Just because it is a cancer does not mean you have to think that it is the end of your life there is life after cancer as more and more survivors today will testify. Lung surgery is one of those cancers where as I said before and I iterate again stages one and two are 100 percent curable with surgery and with a good five year life expectancy following surgery. So take care of yourself and do not hesitate to consult your physician if you do have any of the symptoms that I spoke about. Have a nice day.


Welcome to All In Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Ashley Hedrick with your headlines from around the fleet. The Navy announced plans January 23 to introduce the use of alcohol detection devices or ADDs across the fleet. As part of its 21st Century Sailor Marine Initiative, CECNAV approved the use of ADDs for commanders to deter irresponsible use of alcohol and assist in identifying sailors who may require support and assistance with their alcohol use. The ADDs will begin arriving to command in February. For more information, see OPNAV Instruction 5358. The U.S. Navy marksmanship team is looking for new members to participate in Navy and interservice rifle and pistol matches. You can find more information at usnst.org.

Which founding father had the best economic ideas? I mean, Hamilton had some good economic ideas, and I think some bad ones. Jefferson had some good economic ideas, but a lot of bad ones. None of the founding fathers were very good in economics. Economics was a very young field. Capitalism had not really fully been born in a sense they were birthing it. They had read Adam Smith, but I'm not an expert on the founding fathers, and far from an expert on the founding fathers, but from my limited knowledge, I don't think any of them was a superstar when it comes to economics. And I haven't read enough of the source to tell. I mean, many people will argue that it was Alexander Hamilton. I'm not in a position to argue against that. I know others would argue against that claim too. Some claim infinite economic growth is a fantasy, and the field of economics needs to be reconceived along a long-term, steady state. Nonsense is my thought of that. Complete nonsense. There's no reason why economy cannot grow forever. The myth of limited resources was blown up by Julian Simon, the great economist. Human needs are infinite. The human ability to create resources, to discover resources, to figure out resources. The human ability to do that is infinite. We should be mining asteroids and mining Mars and mining the moon. The Earth is not our limit, but there is no limited resources in any meaningful way. So there is no reason to imagine economic growth being capped in some way. There's no limit to how much we as individuals need. We discover we need stuff after the producers produce it for us. And then we can't live without it. iPhones is a good example of that. But we're just starting. We've had economic growth for 200 years, 250 years. I mean, just think of what is possible in another 500 years. I mean, you'd have to be a science fiction writer to imagine it. But we've just started figuring out what computers can do. We've just started figuring out what robots can do. We've just started figuring out all these, you know, the full human potential and the potential of innovation.  So no, there's no limit to economic growth. Because there's no limit to resources. Because there's no limit to the human imagination. There's no limit to human needs. There's no limit to what we can produce. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual, would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, wins or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist.

Okay, first of all, I don't really speak English, so I'm going to read my text. So GDPR, don't be afraid, I won't talk a lot about cookies and pop-ups and all of these boring stuff, but there could be cookies or macaroons at the end anyway. There are some things that's not much discussed about GDPR, and that's not my fault. I'm trying to avoid that. So there are some things that's not discussed about GDPR and some other local regulations, although it's the right to data portability. So in theory now, we have the right to transfer our data from one service to another. That's something new. Let's think about this. First question, what data can we transfer? There's not much really. We could transfer our emails, but we always could. Email is a standard, and there's nothing that can stop you to transfer your emails, at least one by one, from one provider to another. So there's no reason for providers to stop you to do that, and there is usually a lot of tools to export your emails anyway. So there's nothing new here. You also can export your address book, but there's nothing new here, too. There's a standard. There's no reason to present the user to do the same as our email. So again, nothing new. But we have the GDPR, and so we have this right now to transfer our personal data from where we want. That's huge. GAFAM now have to let us export our data at any time. For instance, I could export one of my Facebook Messenger conversations through PDF file and read it offline. That's useful. Or even I could export my whole Twitter archive. I do this usually to save it, and I can download it, and that's it. Maybe I can grab in it to find some telephone, some information I sent one day, maybe. I don't know. But anyway, I always could do these things. That's not really new. Again, there's nothing new. But there's a law, so maybe there's some code somewhere as code is law. And there is a data transfer protocol existing that was published in 1971. And there's another data transfer protocol that began one year ago, and that is a collaboration between organizations committed to building a common framework with open source code that can connect any two online service providers enabling a seamless direct transfer of data. Now there's something new. According to the DTP partner, it should, when it's ready, allow our data to be transferred directly between service providers without donating it at all. And that would be a big step. But let's see who are those DTP partners. There you are.  So let's see the new use cases we should see in the future as a result from our new right to transfer our data. You won't read it, it's small, but here you are. All the use cases that they foresee right now. I could resume this. We will export our photo directly from our Twitter account to a photo printing service. We could save our playlist to the cloud. Someone could write some code to explode the API from a service provider to export our data. Or we could even transfer our files from one place to another without downloading it at home first. That's a great novelty, as you can imagine. And according to those partners, this should have a particular big impact in global markets, as they say. So let's be serious for a moment. All these DTP and all these right to data portability is nearly useless for now, of course. But it's a work in progress. So maybe there's some more to come on GitHub as it's free software. And let's see what's happening now on GitHub about DTP. There's an export extension for Facebook photos. There's an import-export extension for Flickr photos. You can import-export merely anything from your Google Plus account. Okay, probably export only as it's closing. But anyway, I don't think you had any Google Plus account anyway. So there's nothing to download now. You could also export your Instagram photo or import-export your calendar's contact or photo from your Microsoft accounts. You get it. There's nothing new. But there's one more thing. In this GitHub repository, you could now import-export your master downstream for one instance to another. And this is huge. MasterDom maintenance announced some days ago that such a functionality will anyway be included in this project soon enough. But it's really interesting anyway because at least it's about moving more than a few photos. Here you could maybe export, move your followers from one instance to another. That's something really new there. But what's really interesting in it is a second question I should ask is where can we transfer our data? If we have the right to transfer them, we saw that there's not much data we can download, but where can we upload them? I can import my Twitter and nothing more. I could maybe, with some luck, when they import my Twitter followers to my MasterDom accounts. But I doubt that there will be much of them having a MasterDom account anyway. So I won't get any more followers on MasterDom and I will lose probably all my contacts on Twitter if I quit Twitter doing this. So let's face it. This whole right to transfer is meaningless. It looks great in press releases. You can, when a minister say, hey, look, you have a new right. I brought you. It looks good, but when you think about it, there's really nothing you can do with it. It won't change anything with centralization and surveillance capitalism because it can't be used to decentralize. It won't never hurt the economic models of the DTP partners as we saw. But it looks good in the press release too, of course. That's why they created DTP. So I think this new DTP scene should rejoin the previous one in the shadows of this story. Now maybe I have to say one more word about me for those who don't know me. I'm working today on a project that's called Caliopen. In Caliopen, we need to match private messages from any sources or protocol into one timeline. For instance, you can start a conversation with a Twitter private message. They change their emails and continue your conversation by email, and it will be one only conversation on your Caliopen timeline. Of course, it would be great. Some kind of regulation could force any platform to give access to your personal data from the outside because we could then add your Facebook private message to your Twitter timeline too. Caliopen timelines too. But we can't. Today we can't. So of course that's one reason why I'm so interested in the GDPR and the right to transfer. And obviously today it's useless for us. But even if you could maybe one day export all your private conversations and contact books from Facebook and today you can't, it would be a one-shot operation. You would have to pass Facebook messages on your timeline, but you couldn't continue the conversation with your contact because it's just one time. You don't know your history, but nothing more. Today you can do it with Twitter because Twitter API is open, but we are not sure it will stay open if there's no regulation to force them to do. So today you can start a conversation from Caliopen with your Twitter contacts and continue it, but we are not sure you will today. You could do it tomorrow. So that's why if we want a reopened, decentralized Internet, if you want to fight surveillance capitalism, then of course we need to create a new, useful services, but it's not enough. We also need to have a means to keep our contacts, our social networks from the GAFARM to the new services we will create, and that's not possible with the right to transfer. If we want people to adopt such tools and leave the GAFARM, we cannot just explain them that our services are more respectful of their privacy. It's not enough. The Snowden moment is more than five years old now, and even when privacy-respectful services exist, their success is way too low to compete with GAFARM, where Protonmail has maybe three million users, Gmail has more than one billion, where Bastodon has maybe more than one million users, Twitter has more than 300 million, not talking about Facebook. So don't get me wrong, those are really great tools, but we can't see it as any kind of real decentralization. The numbers show it. We cannot expect general public to leave their habits only for privacy, just as it doesn't work. As long as their friends are on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram, people will stay there, and that's why this right to transfer is meaningless, and that's why what we really need is a right to access. If we can access, if I can access my personal data from any service I choose, then maybe I can leave Facebook without leaving all my social life behind. If I can read my heart and brain books without logging in on Microsoft, maybe I won't have to tell all my address books that I changed my email address. If I can check my Amazon passbook purchase from my local bookstore app, then maybe I won't choose to continue buying from Amazon just to make sure I won't order the same book again. That's a real story. But of course, it won't happen if there's no regulation to enforce that's a real right. We have to ask our representative for a real right to access our data to be included in the next privacy regulation. That's all from me, but as always, I brought some macarons to thank you for listening. So, if you want some, I will leave them on the table, maybe, I don't know. Thanks a lot. Any questions? Thanks for the talk. I really like the idea, but are you aware if there is any actions going on to move to something like this? I just said are you aware if there is any action moving towards something like this because the idea is really good, but is there something concrete about it to move GDPR to something closer to this? Today, for what I know, the French regulator has said when it was ruled by his previous director was agreed with this use. I don't know if it will know that it changed. And all we can hope is to contact and explain those things to our local policy directors. I don't know. Maybe you should contact your representatives before the privacy to come. It should be included in the privacy. It just a logical thing that I created those private data. They can use it to make money. That's logical. That's the deal. But still, those are my data. I should have access to them from anywhere, from where I should get to access them. That's my point. And that is, I think, the way to get a real decentralization happen. I'm sorry. I see people getting up and leaving the room. Again, I have to ask you to stay seated until the period of question is finished because it makes noise. The presenter cannot always hear the questions and it's annoying for the stream. So please do not be disrespectful. Stay seated until the end of the questions. Any questions? Thank you. Today, GDPR enables you to have your data, but in 30 days, right? Every company has 30 days to give the data, right? Do you think it's enough? Sorry, do you think it's maybe too long to be able to have a really full portability with a unified API for a full ecosystem? Messaging, for example, like 30 days is history already, right? No, but okay. It won't be enough that, as we all know here, those data will never be deleted anyway. So the right to transfer and to access them should be forever. I don't see why your family would delete our data. They will not delete? They will not delete, but in a context of user experience, right? 30 days can be like really old if I really want to have portability between services. What's your point on that, please? I don't think so. It depends really on the data. Your social graph is not old in 30 days, and that's one of the major points. Even if you lose your messages, okay, it's not a big deal because maybe you have a local backup or you can anywhere continue to discuss and forget about those old messages, but your social graphs, your friends, the friends of your friends, the people you interact with on a daily basis, that's the important thing. That's the reason why people won't leave their farms if they can't have access to the messages, their friends exchange between them, for instance. Any other question? Yes, okay. Hello. Yes, so we are talking about private data here. What I find strange is that there's an ambiguous thing to it. So on one hand, it's our data. On the other hand, the data is being held by a separate entity. That's for a matter of convenience, I'm trying to understand the problem with portability here because I was trying to follow you. I would say the data, some of it, should at least be in the hands of the users, or at least they should be able to track what's happening with it. That would be a minimum because we don't know what's being done with it. That would be great, but I don't think it will happen any day because users don't realize that. It would be way too complicated for the general public to understand. It would be way too complicated. Yeah, complicated, yes, true. For the general public to understand those points. They don't know really where is their data. That's not important to them. Yes, there's a question of education as well, interest. If we have to start with access to data, then maybe we can educate people to get those data at home and develop tools to make it happen. But the first step is to have the right to access them. I think it is the right to access those data. Yeah, I definitely agree. Maybe I should say, for Kelly Open, we are looking for another company besides Gandhi to support it in order to ask the EU for a grant. We want to file a submission for a grant in the EU, but we need another company to partner with Gandhi in France. So maybe if your company is interested in Kelly Open, get in contact with me. I will stay here for one hour more, but Stan is here for two days now, even if he doesn't listen to me. Stan. So if your company is interested just get in touch, you can use Twitter to find me easily, and I will get your private message on my Kelly Open appearance. So do not hesitate to do it. We have the time for one last question. Yes. Nothing related to what you just said. It's only that I fully agree with your argumentation, but I also fully agree with the first question that was asked, because if really you think it's the way through, there should be ways and means to engage with your proposition, and you should get some... We are organizing the community to support this kind of discourse. I advocated those points with the Aquabaturdinette that now they are joining me on that battle, of course. As I said, the French regulator was okay with it too, but I don't know if it will in the future. But I'm only one person. I do what I can, but it's not enough, of course. All of us have to work it. Maybe the first point is to get conscious of this loss of this point, because I know a lot of people just stopped at the right to that apartment without thinking about it. Maybe now we can think about it and see that there's more to get here. That's not enough, and that's nothing new, and that's not useful at all. That's the first step, then we can act on it and ask our representatives to do more. Okay, thank you. Thank you. Thank you all.


Personal Finance, Excel, Practice Problem, Cash Value Insurance Payment, Calculation. Get ready to get financially fit by practicing personal finance. Here we are in our Excel worksheet. If you don't have access to the Excel worksheet, that's okay because we'll basically build this from scratch from a blank sheet. If you do have access, we got three tabs down below an example tab, a practice tab and a blank tab, the example tab in essence being an answer key. Let's take a look at it now. We've got the information on the left-hand side calculating on the right-hand side. We're looking at the cash value calculation for an insurance payment. The second tab, the blue tab, will have some pre-formatted sales. So if you don't want to spend as much time formatting the sales, you can work through the problem with the pre-formatted sales. The third tab, the blank tab, will have more of a blank sheet where we're going to build everything that we're going to do the calculations on. If you don't have access, then you can just add this information on the left-hand side and move from there. Note that I would add the information on the left-hand side because that's good practice to kind of set up your Excel worksheets. So you're pulling data from a source data and that helps you to change things up and make different projections. So if you don't have this sheet, you might start off by formatting the whole sheet. I would select the triangle, right-click, format the entire worksheet. I usually use currency, brackets, and then remove the dollar sign and zero decibels. I'm not going to do it now because I have the sheet. And then close this, then change the formatting as needed as you enter this data. Nothing really needs to be changed here. And then we can move forward with the calculations. So we're going to imagine here, we got a cash value insurance coverage. So we're going to have, we got insurance coverage for a cash value and furniture is destroyed in a fire. So it was insured with a cash value insurance policy. So the year old of actual furniture, meaning we're going to assume the furniture that was, I got to interpret the sayings I have over here. Can't you write it better than that? Well, I'm interpreting it for you. It was five years old. This furniture that was destroyed, the cost to replace it is the 4,500. The estimated life is eight years. The original cost of the furniture we're going to say is $4,000. So the terms that we have to understand here, if we're trying to think about how much the payout will be, is are they going to be paying us the actual cash value or are they going to be paying us the replacement costs? Because if I have furniture and I purchased it five years ago, I paid $4,000 for it. But if I want to replace the furniture, now it costs me $4,500. So to get me back to the same point, I'd have to buy the newer furniture, which would cost more than it did when I bought it originally. Also, the $4,000 furniture that we purchased, if it's five years old, you would expect, like most things, it would deteriorate in value. So is the insurance company going to give me the replacement cost to get me the new furniture to get up to date, or are they going to try to give me the cost or the value of the actual furniture? We would like the replacement cost, so they give us the 4,500. But if I have that kind of policy, it probably is going to cost more on the premium side of things. They're going to tell us here that they're giving us the replacement cost. So they're going to give us some amount of money that they think is the value of the furniture, and then I'm going to have to put in the difference if I want to get myself back to the same point to buy the new furniture at the 4,500. So we got to understand that difference between actual cash value and replacement costs. We're talking replacement costs here. So let's build a table. I'm going to make this a little bit wider by putting my cursor in between here and then widening this out, holding down left. I'm going to type in here. This is going to be the insurance, let's say, payment. And I'm going to say brackets actual cash value and brackets. Now, I'm not going to make this cell as white as that because I'm not going to put that actual cash value on the bottom. So I'm going to make it maybe like that wide right there.  Let's make it wide enough so two cells cover that right there.  And that's what I do for the header. So I'm in the home tab font group, making it black and white, header format. That's the header format. This is the head of stuff. Header format is black and white. And then I'm going to say we're going to start with the cost to replace it. So I'm basically doing a depreciation calculation. Note that the depreciation calculation is a little bit different than you might see if you're doing this from an accounting standpoint where we would start with the original cost allocating the cost over the useful life. Here, we're going to try to start from the replacement cost and then depreciate it down to for the five years that have passed. Little bit different. Maybe I'll do a comparison just so you can see the difference. So what I'm going to do here is I'm going to start with the replacement cost and say there's the 4,500. Notice I'm saying equals. And I'm pointing to the source data because that's how you want to set up your worksheets generally. And then I'm going to say the estimated life. I'm just going to do a straight year straight line depreciation from there. This is if you know depreciation, this is going to be where we're at now. This is going to be eight years. I'm going to put an underlined here. I'm going to say font group underline it. And this is going to be I'm going to call this the depreciation per year or the decline in value per year, whatever you want to call it. This is going to be equal to the 4,500 divided by eight. So that means we're going to assume that if it declined in value evenly over what we assume the life to be eight years, it would decline in value 563 per year. And we have this piece of property for five years. So that means that I'm going to say this is how many years old it is. Years old of actual furniture. The years old, it was five years old. So if it was five years old, then we have the depreciation. Total depreciation or the accumulated depreciation, if you want to use that kind of terminology, would be the 563 about. This could be rounded times five. So we've got the 2008-13 that has been depreciated. So the replacement cost 4,500 minus the 2,813. So this is going to be then the insurance payment that we would expect based on this calculation, the 4,500 minus the 2,813, which is a little depressing because we're like, I need to buy a new couch. And it costs 4,500. And you're giving me 1,688. My couch burnt down. What am I supposed to replace it with? Like a bench? You want me to buy a bench or something? No, we're going to have to, because the couch was old. You could buy a used couch, but that's gross. I don't want to use. So that's going to be the difference between the replacement cost and the end. So there we go. I'm going to go up to here. Let's put an underline. Let's make this blue and bordered, as is our custom. Font group. Let's put some borders around it. Let's make it blue. Now we can do this calculation in another way. Let's just do it in another way. So I'm going to make a skinny F. So we can do a calculation next to it. So I'm going to take skinny C here. It's C out skinny. I'm going to go to the home tab, clipboard, format, paint it, and then make a skinny F. And then I'm going to hide from C to F. So I got some room, putting my cursor on C, rolling on over to E. C E, it's right there. See it? C E, right click. I'm going to right click and hide that stuff. So now let's do the same thing in another calculation. So the same kind of calculation, but I'll do it differently. Insurance, payment, payment. And so actual cash value brackets. I'm going to widen the cell just like we did before to like right there. So it covers it with two cells. So it's like right there. So it's not hanging over two cells. Make that black and white like we did before. Home tab and home tab, font, black and white. Black and white. OK, so then we're going to start with the replacement cost again, just like we did before. This is where the difference is between accounting, because in accounting we'd be using the OG cost, the original cost, in other words, which you say OG is the cool way you say original. So then, or at least it used to be like 20 years ago. I don't know what people say now. Anyways, whatever. So we're going to say the ratio is going to be, I'm going to call it the years remaining. And if it was an eight year life and five had been expired, I'm just going to do a bit of subtraction. We're going to say this is going to be eight minus the five. That's going to give us our three years, three years here. And I'm going to compare that then to the useful life, estimated life, which is eight. There's the ratio.  And I'm just going to move it, control V right there, move it on over, move it on over. And then we're going to say ratio outside. Let's put this in the outside. This is going to be our division. This is the three divided by the eight, three over eight. Let's make that a percent so we can see some numbers here, home tab, number group, percentifying it, not a word, but I'm making it, I'm making it a word. And then decimalizing it as well so we can see some stuff. And then let's go and then make this an indentation. So I'm going to select these three and go up top, do some indentation, because we've got a sub-category, home tab, alignment, indent, and then double indent right there, up, double done, double indent done. And then let's put an underline here, font group underline. And this is going to be then the insurance. And I'm not going to put that actual cash value. Calculate this one 4,500 times the 37.5%.  Let's put some stuff here and let's make it blue and bordered, blue and bordered, font group, blue, and I'm, blue and, yeah, that was the border. That's not blue, that was the border, border blue. Now let's compare that to what we would do under a system where we're doing accounting style system. So I'm going to select from B to G, bug, and I'm going to right click and unhide those cells. And let's do the same thing and calculate accounting depreciation, or let's say accounting, let's say book value calculation. So meaning what would be the value of it from an accounting term. And if I use straight line depreciation, which would be a similar calculation.   So in this case, the only difference is I'm going to do the whole thing, but I'm going to start with the original cost. Because on accounting, we take the original cost and we allocate it over the useful life so that we get the expense of the original cost over when we used it. So that's where the difference is going to lie. So it would be this, and then I could copy the rest of it. I'm just going to say this equals the stuff above, and I'm just going to copy that down to do this quickly like. And so there it is. And then I'm going to say I could copy this above. So the estimated useful life is still eight. And then I'm not going to copy the total, obviously. We're going to do the actual calculation down here. Let's underline it. And so this would be equal to the 4,000 divided by eight. So that's a bit different, 500 depreciation per year, as opposed to the 563, because we bought it for 4,000, not the replacement cost. And then the years old of the furniture, that's going to be five, just like it was before, because we had that couch or whatever it is for five years, and it's getting kind of old. We were pretty, we weren't nice to our couch. You know, it's kind of, it's showing its age there. It's not the years, it's the mileage. That's what Indiana Jones said. Okay, so this is going to be the 500 times five. So there's the 2,500 depreciation. So we would have 4,000 original cost minus the 2,500. We got the 1,005. Let's put an underline here under the accounting method as opposed to up top. You could kind of simplify that if it was straight line to something like this, which might be a little bit shorter. It's actually, you know, somewhat same calculation, but you could do this ratio kind of in one step really. So I could say this is going to be equaling this up. Well, this is going to be equaling this. And let's make that black and white here. And then I'll just copy it down. We'll say border, black and white. I mean, you're saying the wrong stuff. You're saying stuff and you're doing different stuff. I know, do what I do, not what I say, replacement cost. No, this is going to be the original cost. That's the difference. That's the difference, 4,000. And then we've got a ratio. This is where it's going to be the same. So I'll just copy the thing above it and I'll just copy it down. Let's just take, grab the fill handle, grab that and drag it down. And let's do some estimations here or indentations. Home tab, alignment, indent. You could also copy the formatting. Like I might just say, why don't I just copy the formatting up top. I'll just take this whole thing, home tab, clipboard, paint brush it and just put the whole formatting right there. Then you get the indentations all at the same time. Why are you doing it the long way? Because it's practice. Because I was trying to get people to practice. So we're going to say the years remaining are three and that calculation was, let's just do that again so we could see it. If the total years are eight and five have passed, we got three. That's where the three comes from. Useful life was eight. We'll put the underline. I don't have to underline it because I copied the formatting three over eight. There's our 37.5%. If we take that 4,000 times that percent, we get to the 1,500 again, as opposed to the 1,688 given the fact that we have the different original number, original cost versus the replacement cost. Let's copy the formatting on this one this time and format paint brush it and paint that blue paint right there. Boom, get that nice blue. Let's put some double underlines under this one. That'll make it look nicer. Double underlines font group, font underline double. Check the spelling, review it. Does the spelling look okay, original? That's in the source data is not even right for crying out loud, actual, actual, actual. Okay, all right. I see what you're saying on that spelling. I won't argue with it. So there we go.


Let's make some ahi tuna. A little bit different than what you've probably seen. Toss your chunks into a bowl. For our binder, we're using Japanese sesame oil. Get it mixed around. Now you need dano's crunchy, that's the black top.  Take your tuna and simply get it coated. Stainless steel pan. Some ahi cooking oil, like grape seed oil. Now this is preheated only to a medium temperature, not too high. Now pretty much the same time I finished putting in the other pieces. It's already time to flip the first one. Now that those are all flipped, it's already done. That literally took me about maybe a little more than 60 seconds. Look at that. Perfect little ahi tuna. Take that. I like to dip it in soy sauce or maybe some peanut sauce. And that's the yummy I'm gonna get you some. Give it a try, just another way to do it. Crunchy too.


Let's start with a recap of Spirit Science Season 1. We began by first looking at thoughts and telepathy, chakras, as well as different types of energy. We looked at some strange phenomenon that suggested humanity is far older than the mainstream world believes, and opened up the conversation of sacred geometry. This led us through some talks about dimensions and the various wavelengths associated with the spectrum of reality, and how to navigate these realms through spiritual practices like meditation and astral projection. Then, in Episodes 11 and 12, we looked at how humanity is undergoing a form of evolution, going through a big change in how we exist fundamentally, and are passing through a very important phase in the evolution of our species. The big idea was that 13,000 years ago, we fell in consciousness and became disconnected from our soul. And ever since then, humanity has been on a journey of remembering who it is, and are today still coming to understand what it means to be a child of God, and embody the light of something called Christ Consciousness. And so, now we begin a new chapter of Spirit Science, with a story and a lesson from an unexpected place. To begin properly, we must pay a proper debt of gratitude to our friend Drimvalo Melchizedek. A great deal of the wisdom shared in Season 1 of Spirit Science was all provided to the world by him in the ancient secret of the Flower of Life. We owe so much to Drimvalo and his work and these books that he's provided, and I just wanted to take a moment to express that for all of us. Now, here is an amazing story. Early on his spiritual journey, Drimvalo was visited by two angels. These glowing beings appeared to him and revealed that they were manifestations of his higher self, and would be guiding him to different teachers and wisdom. And it was very important that he listened closely to all of the instructions that they gave. Over many years they guided him, and he met with over 70 different spiritual teachers. On one particular occasion, they brought him somewhere that he wasn't expecting to go. They told him to go into a quiet room where he wouldn't be disturbed, and enter into a meditation. Then they lifted his astral body from his material form, and they headed into outer space, and eventually passed a spherical membrane of energy that is about 440,000 miles away from the Earth, which is a particular field relative to the life force of our planet in space. Once they passed this membrane, he saw something unbelievable. A huge motionless vehicle that was about 50 miles long. It could not be detected from Earth due to the technology the beings on board were using.  And as they got closer, he was sucked inside and found himself meeting these beings there, both male and female, who were much taller than he was. He learned that they were Syrians from the Star Sirius, the closest star to our own, and that there were about 350 of them on the ship, and they all wore white clothing with little gold insignias on their left arms. He sat down with three of them who talked to him telepathically for a long time, and then they gave him a tour of the whole ship. Everything in the ship was white, with no other colors. The rooms were seamless, and all forms on the ship came out of the floors, walls, and ceilings naturally, as if they were all very organic. He said some forms looked like beautiful futuristic art sculptures, and it was like an art gallery everywhere he went. But what's more interesting? All of these shapes were the technology of the ship. The ship had no moving parts, you see, just these shapes emerging out of the walls and floors and ceilings. These beings were so advanced, they reduced their technology to shape, form, and proportion, and all they had to do was connect with the shapes in their hearts and minds, and through them, they could do anything. This form of technology today we call psychotronics, but it's still considered in the mainstream to be a theory which has never been done, at least by us. Dreamfellow said that he spent three days up in the spaceship, and when he finally returned, his angels began to tell him why they took him there. He at first responded enthusiastically, wow, their technology is so cool, and resounded how great it was. But the angels stopped him. No, you don't understand. That's not the understanding we want you to have. And he asked, what do you mean? So the angels told him this, suppose your body gets cold in this room, and you decide that you're going to go out and make something to heat the room. So you invent a heater and some kind of energy source, whatever you need to heat the room. You put the heater in the room, and the heater heats the room, and then you yourself get warm. That seems logical, right? Alas, what the angels revealed was that to do this actually makes us spiritually weaker. Why? Because in doing so we forget our connection to God. You could have heated the room or your body by your own inner essence, but instead you gave your power away to an object. The angels projected to Drunvalo that as any civilization makes more and more advanced technology, if that's the choice they make, they separate themselves out further and further from the source of life, and actually become weaker spiritually because they become addicted to their technology. They need it in order to survive. In other words, the Syrians were actually spiritually weak, and Drunvalo was instructed not to look at them as a super advanced race, but as people who need spiritual help. The bottom line from his experience, he said, was that the angels wanted him to focus less on technology and concentrate on pure consciousness as a way to remember God. After this, the angels disappeared back into the higher dimensions of his own body of consciousness. He then got up and left his room. While he knew he was up in space for three days, he also rationalized that perhaps in worldly time he was probably gone only a few hours. But when he saw his family and friends, they were completely pale. He asked, what's wrong? And they said, you've been sitting in meditation for three days. We were about to call the hospital. Now this lesson from the angels is something that we can corroborate with a lot of human wisdom, and one of the best places for stories that are deeply relevant here come from Master Paramahansa Yogananda in his book, Autobiography of a Yogi. For instance, at one point he describes meeting a Yogi who was able to levitate his body through deep meditative states. There are masters described who are able to teleport as well as appear to their students in different cities at the same time through their mastery over their energetic field and their body of consciousness. But Yogananda is very clear to state that it's not about the miracles but the connection with God, which is reaffirmed over and over throughout this beautiful book. In a very funny story, when he was young, Yogananda met and challenged a Yogi he called the Perfume Saint, who through many years of intense devotional meditation manifested the ability to generate any scent with his hands. Harnessing God to make odors? What of it? God makes perfume anyway. Yes, but he fashions frail bottles of petals for fresh use and discard. Can you materialize flowers? Well yes, but usually I produce perfumes, little friend. Then scent factories will go out of business. I will permit them to keep their trade. My own purpose is to demonstrate the power of God. Sir, is it necessary to prove God? Isn't he performing miracles in everything, everywhere? Yes, but we too should manifest some of his infinite creative variety. In the end, the Perfume Saint manifested a most beautiful smell of rose on Yogananda's hand and changed an odorless flower nearby into smelling rich with jasmine. And many years later, Yogananda discovered how this work was done. He said that the different sensory stimuli to which a person reacts, touch, sight, smell, sound, and taste, are produced by vibratory variations in electrons and protons. The vibrations in turn are regulated by piranha or life-force energy, which on a scientific level are known as life-trons, subtle life-forces or finer than atomic energies, intelligently charged with five distinctive sensory idea substances. This Perfume Saint, named Ganta Baba, attuned himself with the pranic force of yogic practices and was able to guide the life-trons to rearrange their vibratory structure and to objectify the desired result. His perfume and other miracles were actual materializations of mundane vibrations and were not inner sensations hypnotically produced. Now, autobiography of a yogi is filled with stories like this, demonstrating the power of God within reality, even greater than anything technology can achieve. And I want to share more of these stories, but for today's episode, I think in addition to these two stories that we've shared so far, we would be remiss if we didn't actually look at Yeshua here, who is commonly known today as Jesus Christ. If we take the Gospel accounts as, well, gospel, at least to some degree, we might infer that Yeshua also demonstrated, with Almighty Grace, the same lessons the angels gave to Drunvalo. He showed that through God, one could do anything. Now, some people watching might be thinking, but Jesus was the Son of God. We're not like Him, except that even He Himself said, truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do and greater works than these will He do. Yeshua knew the latent power of the human soul and what was possible when our ego and lower self is fully integrated with our higher self and God. But it was just a matter of time, about 2,000 years, for us to really figure all this out. But just figuring it out and understanding it intellectually doesn't necessarily mean that we're ready for it yet. And if we become so attached to our technology and ignore the call of the soul completely, then these stories will remain just that. Stories. It's only when one becomes fully integrated through mind, body, and soul that the true nature of Christ consciousness is revealed within, which comes with a very cosmic understanding. Are you ready to go deeper? We'll see you in the next episode.
