my team from scratch. I just booted up a brand new account. We've got all our base silvers and the free joe burrow. So a absolutely horrendous team. And although EA is EA, I'm gonna put to the test just how good of a no-money spent team we could build with 10 straight hours of gameplay. It is 7 30 a.m. So I've got until about 5 30 to grind this squad. I'll save all the packs. I'll save all the coins. We'll build the best team we can. Let's get into the solo challenges. Now people are going to ask what is the best solo challenge. I would say in general the best solo challenges to do are the ones that have come out most recently. For example, the harvest solos just came out. Those are going to get you the most recent best overall cards. Additionally, the legend solos are really nice because those get you a card each time. So I definitely crank those out. But other than that, you can update this video every single time a new promo comes out. For example, when zero chill and the Christmas promo drops, you'll be able to go bonkers building your squad. And I know 10 hours is a lot of time, but I can't waste any of it. I'm gonna start cranking out some solos. Let's get it. Hey, well, not exactly, but 12 29 we're getting there. We actually have a ton of unopened packs to go through. I can't wait for that little dopamine rush when I open all of them at once. And we've got a decent coin stack. I've still got about half these solos to do, at least for the ones that I want to knock out so close to the finish line. I have one Thanksgiving solo left. So we're up to level 16. We got 480k. I have like 100 plus packs to open. It's 522. I haven't exactly got a lot of physical activity today. Whatever.  I sit here for 10 straight hours and absolutely no life in for the boys. Let's play this final solo. I got to win the game. Can't allow more than one touchdown and a score a touchdown. The third sick. Now, normally I would go on the auction house and get better players to make the solos easier, but since this is the last one I've already gone through and sold everybody so that we have the max coin count we could have at this point. So I have the default team. That's okay though, because it is still the computer. So it really shouldn't matter. I'm just going to run two clock, get my touchdown in the third, cheese him on defense and get out of this game. There's boob or bop. And I do need to score in the third quarter as part of this challenge. So let's just cheese him. I pretty much run verticals the entire time. The CPU defense really struggles with this and I have no shame. Cheezing a computer down at the eight seconds. I don't know why they just really can't cover that right there. They just, they just can't always go for two just because I'm greedy. There's boob or bop. Easy. And honestly, on defense, I usually don't play. Like I usually set my controller down and like go do something else because your defense will pretty much do it for you. But this is the last solo. So and that's all she wrote. The final solo challenge complete. Oh, and I kind of cheated. Oh, I kind of cheated.  It's 537. Well, if you guys can forgive me for completely scamming you in the title, it was actually 10 hours and about five minutes. Let's do an overview of everything we've completed. All are on open packs. Let's get them ripped. We'll look at the squad and we'll go from there. We do get an 80 plus overall harvest player for that tenth star right there. So we actually have 108 on open packs. Let's get moving. So we've finished all the Thanksgiving solos that we can complete up to this point. Almost all of the legends solos, they didn't get all the stars, but I got close. Some of them were just too obnoxious and not worth my time. AKA 240 of 252. Same deal. The basic ultimate team won. Obviously we got 100 of 120 on the main harvest solos and 100 of 120 on the harvest games. That's because new ones just came out, but I don't have any time left on the clock. All mad in 204 of 204. Most fear we drilled those two because you can get crazy good players from those feared ones. So I'm happy we did that. Team diamonds, we completely stacked out. We should get some awesome stuff from that as well. Hispanic heritage because I'm not racist. Team of the week. I didn't do a ton of the team of the week, but I did do a lot of it. They're all right. Then team captains is actually clutch because you can make your team captain really good with those upgrade tokens. So 484,250 coins after 10 hours of gameplay, 108 unopened packs. Hey, you can seriously build a nasty no money spent team. I'm not even kidding. All right, let's get through these. Some of these are going to be absolute dog shit, but some of them are going to be awesome. This is the opt-in pack. It's like if you give EA, I don't know, it's like if you give EA the right still look at your data or something. It's that first thing you check when you download the game. Oh my God, an aka player in this. Oh my God. I thought it was going to be one of the 82s. That's clutch. Out of a free game day pack, 89, 82 Mitch Morse. Pretty much everything we get right now is a massive upgrade to this team. So this was from the team of the week solos. It's a fantasy pack. So I can take my choice. It's the 87 overalls got Britain Brown, Lawrence Cajer, Lance McCutcheon, Clay Johnson, Alex Bachman, and Martin Emerson. I'm actually going to take Lawrence Cajer as a backup tight end. This is why you do the all Madden solos. You get 90 overall, un-auctionable Tony Syragusa. Apologies, my butcher, that name. Never heard of this guy, but hey, a 90 overall detackle. He's a monster. Actually 93 block shed. That is like end game stats. 93 block shed is so good. That will be good for so long. So yeah, this Tony Syragusa is incredible. That is such an awesome thing to have for a free player. Additionally, for doing those legends solos, you get the power up player of every single legend. And these sell for a decent amount of coins. Not a ton, but every single time you're going to get anywhere from 3000 to 6000 coins for these, there's 15 legend solos. Do the math. That's like 50 to 100K. It's pretty badass.  Yeah, it is 82 Marshawn Lynch, who's actually worth a lot. They let you sell this, don't they? Yeah. A lot's an overstatement, but he's worth something. Gridiron Guardians pack is an 82 Justin Herber. That's a quick sell. You can't sell him and he's not good enough to use Hispanic Heritage. Welcome pack. Give us you the Ted Hendricks. He's actually not bad. I don't know if I'd even, I don't even think you can quick sell him. Yeah, this Ted Hendricks is locked to your lineup no matter what. It's actually kind of frustrating. This is a boom reward fantasy pack. So it's a ton of the 81s. Usually here, I just say take the most expensive one. And I believe the most expensive is Lester Hayes. Oh, you get three. I'll take Lester Hayes, Munoz and Hilgenberg. Oh my God, you get four and I'll take Steve Atwater. That is huge. For completing those team diamonds, team affinities, you get the 87 overall unsung heroes fantasy pack. Ironically, that animation is even worse on next gen.  It's even worse on next gen. See how it glitches at the end? But these cards on the other hand are very, very good. You get one from every single team. I think my favorite one is Amani Orawarie.  So I'm hoping Amani Orawarie can be like my corner three or corner two. You do get a free Randy Moss from All Madden. And I can take Eric Allen as a team captain.   Yeah, you know what? I'm going to go O-line instead. I'm going to take Rob Havinstein. Tackles are very expensive. I already have two free corners. So I'll punch by one corner. A non-auctionable random 84. Oh, okay. So hoping for an 87, but Talonovanga is actually crazy good, strong safety. So if I don't want to spend anything on that, I actually could use him. Harvest Welcome Pack. I believe this is an 84RG3. It is. He's halfway decent. 84 plus. Anytime it's a plus, you hope you go over the first number. So 87, A. You guys to see me use his Bud-Dupri is cracked. He's like 86 speed, 88 excel, 90 power moves, 64. He's actually a very good edge rusher. Another 84 plus most feared from those most feared solos. 84, Mercedes-Lewis. No worries. I've got a tight end and a back of tight end now. This is Luke Keekley's power up. I don't know if he's worth any more than the other ones. With a little bit more looks like people are a little more impatient with this one. Here's the free Randy Moss. I know he's only an 86 overall. His speed isn't quite where you'd want it to be at this point in the game, but he has a 64 corner. If you use him in zone coverage, he's still really good.  I think it's really frustrating and not fun. So he's actually a really good card for me. 82 overall, Dante Culpepper. Week two boom reward players. Jeremy Shockey, Chris McAllister. This is an 88 harvest player pack. Not auctionable, but I get my choice. I get a pick of the litter. Honestly, this is going to be a very hard decision. A lot of these guys are studs. Usually when I get a free card, I am tempted to go old line just because I like to pick my positional players. I think Dak is a great option here. I think Fred Warner is a great option too. Wow, Fred Warner is 63 88 speed. This is a rare occasion where I'm going to take a line backer over Kevin Zitler. I kind of wanted to go Kevin Zitler, but Fred Warner is very good. I'm going to go Fred Warner. Also, I could give him the Turducken item and actually upgrade him to a 90. So I think that was a good choice. 84 Culpepper and 84 Anus Williams for the boom rewards. Culpepper will sell for 9,000 some some change. Did I say Anus Williams? I was kidding. It's a neus, I believe. Team of the Week 83 overall fantasy pack. Justin Reed Kicker is actually such an incredible free card to get. He's so good. Week five boom reward players. These only get better. So now it's like 83, 83. I won't use either, but they'll sell for probably over 5,000. Yeah, about 6,000 a piece. These are also really nice cards to have if there's not a lot on the auction house. People get really impatient and will buy these for like very expensive because they want to do the legends upgrades. Garrett Wilson for our 84 plus. Like Garrett Wilson. I was hoping for an 87 there though. Week 10 boom rewards is Keekley and Jerry Rice, who also will sell for a decent amount here. 10,900. Dude, those legends solos are like some of the best. Those are OP. 85 plus team of the week, Melvin Ingram. A game day pack. So this could be anything. Jerome Baker, Roy, Taylor Lawan. Okay, that was very mid. Week four rewards Ray Nitschke and Herman Moore. An 80 plus harvest player from the harvest solos.  Kay Nellis, darn it. I did pull 93 AJ Brown in one of these ones. No, it may not on the new account. Every card is good, but you'd like to get an 83 plus here. Andrew Beck, the monster maker players. Obviously I can't upgrade these anymore since the most feared stuff isn't in, but that doesn't mean they're bad cards by any means. Chase Claypool is still a big body wide receiver and Rezul Douglas is not bad either, but I am going to go chase Claypool. I'm getting another one. It'll be Rezul Douglas.  I forgot about that.  I never did it on my main account. 83 overall, AKA fantasy pack. I think the best move here is definitely a Coye. You can go Larry Zonk as your team captain, but a Coye is so good, dude. He's so good. We do have another one of these. So at this point, I just want to go with who's the most expensive. And I believe Megatron is the most expensive. And we've just crossed half a million coins. Not bad at all. 85 plus Danico Autry. 86 plus. Come on, man. You give me some heat right here. We're in business. Ah, Justin Houston. We'll take it. Our first strategy item is a common 83 overall, Jonathan Casillas, the week seven boom rewards, Thomas Davis and Dante Hall, Doris Armstrong from team of the week, week five, and a very important one, the team captain's fantasy pack Zonka is my favorite option. Kishon Johnson is very good, but for a budget team, Eric Allen is probably the move. A free solid corner is like irreplaceable. This Eric Allen went fully upgraded, which he is now. He's actually a monster. He's a 91 overall with 90 speed, 90 excel. He's a little undersized, but his stats are incredible for a free corner. Eric Allen is the move. Week 11 boom rewards are now 85 overalls. And you get Jeff Saturday. Ooh, you got to love that. And these are going to sell for more because they're 85 overalls. Bailey Zappi low key could be my quarterback. I mean, I got by with this silver a couple times. 82 overall, AKA fantasy pack. Not a really matter. Go cam chancellor. This is an 87 plus overall team of the week, week nine reward. Oh, Kirby, Joseph, Detroit lion. That's a really good free safety to ease. He's a little small, but Mike, Vic, Ron Woodson on the week three boom, Ed reading Emmett Smith in week nine. Definitely two guys I'm going to sell got the 86 plus overall team of the week, week eight. Unfortunately with the team of the week, so I've been getting the overall on the dot every time. 86 plus is an 86. It's a bomber. You could usually get a little better odds with those, but that's okay. This is the 88 overall non-auctionable player pack. These are the same players that I got before, like when I had the option for Fred Warner. So before I was saying I took Fred Warner over Kevin Zeitler actually looks like I could take both if I'd like to hear. And I think I will. Kevin Zeitler is going to be a beast. I've already got a nice right tackle. Now we got a nice right guard as well. Got an elite back here. I think this is from the field pass. I don't actually remember, but we do get Andre Reed, Chad Mooma, Caleb Farley, nothing else. Another elite pack. Again, I believe these are from the field pass. Jimmy Ward and 85 set joiner. Nice. We're coming down to some of the last of our packs here. Pretty much just the legends, power up players. Just kind of got to get those all on my bench and ready to go. Kiko Alonzo and I believe our final pack is an 84 overall aka fantasy pack from the aka solos, sweetness, curse, air McNair, the fridge, shady. The most expensive out of these. I'm pretty sure is air McNair. So we're going to go with him. Oh no, I actually have two more of those. I take it back. Javon Curse and our actual final pack. Same thing. We'll take sweetness. So we got 550K, a ton of players in our item binder. I'm interested to see what my team's going to look like if I just hit generate best lineup. So generate best lineup. Take your guesses. Full no money spent team have not touched the auction house a single time yet. Our team overall is an 85. We've got a very solid offensive line. We've got a lot of depth at tight end. Lots of wide receivers, although none of them are particularly good. Nobody I'm too excited about. At hat back, we got sweetness Kenneth Walker and Deon Jackson. Kenneth Walker is actually a player I bought to use for solos and forget to sell them, but that's okay. On defense, that 87 free safety, Melvin Ingram, Fred Warner, Devin White, Bud DePri, Mike Edwards, from the field pass. Result Douglas, Tutal Jones, Javon Hargrave, Tony Sirigusa, Doran's Armstrong, Randy Moss and Eric Allen. All right, let's take advantage of the auction house. Let's look at the store. I might actually use some training here. Let's see what we can do. First thing I'd like to do is round out my offensive line. It's okay right now, but we're a little lopsided. We'll take 88 overall Frank Ragnow for center. Andres Pete is a great budget option at left guard. And at left tackle, we can get Jonathan Ogden for 53K.  One of my absolute favorite hat backs that just got put in this game is his Travis at the end. He's 92 speed, 90 excel and he gets evasive for two AP. He is pretty expensive, but this is someone I'm willing to go big on. And Loki, I'm actually going to keep Bailey Zappy in because Bailey Zappy is actually not bad at all. For me to really want to get a new quarterback, I'd have to spend like half a mill. 86 Bailey zap. You'll get the job done just as well as fits magic or drew blood. So all right. So now we're in 86 overall. We've got this 88 overall amazing online, except for having seen it was an 87 tight ends wide receivers. Definitely got to upgrade wide receivers. Love my hat backs. I'd like a Koye starting at fullback defensively. I've got a great user. I should pick up another strong safety to use as my user strong safety and nickel. That will be pretty important. My corners are okay. Rizul Douglas probably needs an upgrade. So let's get a corner and a strong safety. And I actually think this defense will be great. After that, we're going to quick sell everything else. You could manually sell all your additional players. It is smarter to do that. You will get more coins for it. But to me, that's like another two hour process. It's very tedious. I don't like it. So I like to just quick sell them all and take my chances. Cameron Danzler team of the week is 88 speed, six foot two. It's only 50 K. That's an awesome corner to pick up and strong safety. I'm going to want an absolute monster because this is going to be my user. Strong safety are expensive, but I can get Bam Bam Cam a six three 89 speed user who also gets avalanche if I choose to use it for 140 K. So I'm down to 66 K, but I haven't quick sold a ton of additional players on the bench. So we're really just getting started right now. This lineups looking good. I do think Randy Moss is better than Rizul Douglas. It's a little bit slower. He jumps higher and he's a lot bigger. I am going to use Randy Moss instead of Rizul Douglas. So starting with my goal players, I'm going to sell everything that's not in the lineup. All right. So quick selling all the bombs is going to give us 22,000 training. That's actually a lot. Couple more players sold as well. So we're up to 80 K. So 22,000 training. Obviously we can get players abilities and X factors, but there's also some very strong packs in the store that are limited per account that you can buy with training. For example, there's the 89 plus overall AKA player. You only get one, but if I were to pull in 92 or 93, that is going to be crazy coins. If I pull in 89 or 90, yeah, that's going to suck, but it'll still be worth a lot. So I basically converted all my training into a little gamble here on this pack. Let's see what we can get. We need a 90 plus to clutch us up 90 plus 91. Full AKA means, oh, that's huge. Now we could use them on our team, but I'm telling you, Tony Sirigusa is amazing. We're going to get 160.  It looks like I could definitely sell him for more than this, but I'd like Tim to sell within me recording right now. So I'm going to go a little low here, but that's awesome. And I still got 6,600 training. I'm going to use the rest of this training on my team. And if there's anything left over, we'll use it. All right, we got 228 K. I think the holes in our team right now. Melvin Ingram isn't great, but really just wide receivers. Wide receivers in Bailey Zappy. I think we just spend the whole thing on a monster wide receiver. I think AJ Brown's like 400 K. So I can't get him, but there's got to be just a demon wide receiver I can get for 228 K, right? Like a number one beast guy that we can count on every time. I like that CD lamb. I could get Megatron. You know, I'm actually, I'm going to rock with the CD lamb because I've never used him. I have used Megatron before Megatron is probably the best option, but I don't want to do it. 145 K for CD lamb means I can still buy something else for 83 K. You know what I might just buy? I might just buy the upgraded Akoya. No, let's get an outside linebacker. Let's get a better right outside linebacker. Melvin Ingram is kind of mid. No lie. With 83,000 coins, we can pick up. Oh, I like Derek Brooks. I like Lawrence Taylor a lot better. Honestly, I get Lawrence Taylor so much, but that's because he's so good.  Our team is built. So wide receiver one becomes 90 overall 90 speed six foot two CD lamb wide receiver two. I'm going to go chase Claypool because he's actually faster and bigger than Garrett Wilson. Oh, and CD lamb took us up to an 87 overall. That is amazing. We're not even done yet because I still got to take Melvin Ingram out for cave on tibit oh, who is faster 10 more Excel 10 more string way better. It's finally complete. Our team building is all done. This has been a blast to do a 10 hours is a lot of time, but we didn't spend any money. That's like one Sunday. If you're really bored on a Saturday or Sunday, you really have no hoes, no texts, no friends, bro. You could wrap out a good 10 hours and I very much hope you guys enjoyed this video. If you want to see more stuff like this, please let me know. I could do it in five hours. I could do it in one hour. If you guys like it, just let me know, but let's hop into some games. Primetime JC. Whoa. I think it was glitching bad, but he's got the 95 prime time. That's legit. Nice ball. Oh, he's got Claypool too. Nice. Dude, this guy's got a laser on him. Whoa. Oh, and we're there. Oh, but I got ran over by Etienne. One more run play underneath to the hat. I'm going to go hat back just like he was. There goes Etienne. Good start. Zappy one for one, six yards. Oh, it's there. Great blocking. Hard cut over to the middle. Etienne starting out hot. Beautiful. Lawrence Kager. First I've heard of him, but happy to use him. Okay. So Etienne is wide open. He sent the blitz a little unsuccessful. Oh, nasty move. Hard cut the CPU juke the user, or maybe it's the other way around. I don't know. Look at that. Three yards, not bad. Just going to go verts out of this. I'll send Etienne out to the right. Oh, that's a tutty. That's a tutty. Lawrence Kager. Let's go. Great work, gentlemen. Blocks are looking good. Oh, damn. I ran that a little weird. Seven to six stuff. I don't run a lot of man blitzes. I don't know if I really trust this, but I'm going to try it. Hat back. Damn. Nice D. Once again, a super quick pass. Third and three. Oh, no. Guy throws just the quickest little laser beams, but it's working. Oh my God. How did he hit that window? Nice job. Oh, and I missed. Damn, man. We got time.  Beautiful pass. Juke left. I don't think I've ever seen anyone dive that hard and whiff that bad. That was awesome. Oh my God. Was that open? That X button was open.   I thought I'd get that throwaway off, but I did not. Kind of just got to airmail one of these puppies. There's Kager, but the user. Oh, that was Mercedes Lewis. That wasn't even Kager. Great ball. That just made our field goal a little bit easier. That was smart. That made our field goal easier. Oh, wait a minute. It's 44 yards, so I don't get focus kicker.  What? I definitely did the one on 45 yards or deeper and it gave me it for that. That was 44. Whatever. All right. Opening drive. Zappy has played great football so far. Let's just keep it up. Is that even open? Nasty catch. Dude, did you see that alignment? He was just lined up so weird there. All right. Now he's in press. Oh, I think Lam got him. I think Lam got him. Oh, CD Lam.   We spent 150k on him. It's paying off. We've got a one-point lead right now. I'm trying to make that a seven-point lead. All right. Zappy can roll. Does he make that throw? Oh my God. Oh my God.  And he threw such a bad ball that the user couldn't pick it off, but Travis at the end could get to it.  He keeps throwing it mega quick, but he's throwing into tight windows. Oh, we're there. Dude. Well, that's just stupid, because we were totally there. Oh, nice move. Claypool. Dude, he's going to score effortlessly again. Hopefully we can hold him down here. Dude, that same thing again. What are these animations? Oh my God. What? I accidentally switched on the guy that was about to sack Justin Fields and I jumped. I deserved that. That sucked. Onside kick. Maybe he's scared of me chewing the clock. He might have gotten that. Wow. He picked that up without it going out of bounds. That's some true madden cheese right there, dude. I've never seen someone get so lucky with their animations. What even was that? Damn. CD Lam. Beauty, but can you get there? Fourth down. Fourth and three going to need a big one right here. Laurence Kager is going to come up clutch on fourth down. That was a little bit too easy when I saw his user over there. Beautiful play though. There's Kager again. Oh, that's Mercedes Lewis gets a stiff arm. We're about to score.  All these motions just to throw Kager again. I didn't actually mean to do that because that burned a lot of clock.   Could definitely be a pass. Horrible pass. Bam, bam. I think he got that. Fourth and one.  You know this guy. Come on, man. Fourth and one. Play of the game. Oh, wow. We got the blockchain with Sierra Goosa too, but he got around it. Damn. That is not a mistake. That is a very good play. Damn. It's actually kind of nice. He went too far. Yeah. He should only go in 10 yards. He can't get another first down now. And if I can stop him for a field goal, let's just see what happens here. That's actually not optimal for him. What he just did. Not at all. Oh my God. Pick it. What?  He has. He has to score a touchdown. Let's go. Bam, bam. Rocked. Fourth and eight. I have one time out left. It's fourth and eight. I'd probably go for it if I'm him. If he scores a touchdown in this game, if I stop him, I've got a shot.  I've got the ball on the nine minute 12. One time out. Seedy lamb. Easy yards. Let's go. No huddle. Oh my God. I think Etienne just burned him. Oh my God. Etienne. Travis. Etienne.  Let's go.   Now it's 27 to 31. Gotta keep him out of the end zone for 37 seconds.  He does have three timeouts. This game is not over. No way. Oh, that's no good.  Damn, really good first throw. Damn, he did that so fast. That's fine if we keep him in bounds. Trash play. He's not calling a timeout. Are you a psycho? What? What are you doing? What are these play calls? He's in five wide. I assume he goes Casper.    I got Hail Mary on in that wheel of mud though. So let's not take this for granted.  He's so unbelievably tilted. Tilted out of his mind.  Tell me why Bailey Zambia had a perfect QBR. 16 for 19, 305, four touchdowns and no interceptions. Tell me why. Justin Fields had a great game too.  Five for 111 and the biggest touchdown of the game. Dude, and CD Land was incredible too. Four for 95 and a touchdown. That was an awesome game. That was so awesome.  That was so awesome. All right, gentlemen. Massive W, one of the coolest W's of all time. So for those of you who watched this and got to the gameplay, you just got blessed with an amazing game. I hope you guys enjoyed. I will see you in the next video. Thanks for watching as always. Peace.


A dark night, he waits. Gotham has many shadows. And evil, fears and need. How's that for poetic justice? We've talked a little bit about cognitive biases and how they can affect our judgment. In many cases, when learning about some quirky systemic error of cognition, it's natural to ask, well, when is this possibly going to affect anything that I care about? Okay, so human brains have a tendency to imagine faces in random noise. Is that ever going to affect my life? Well, the answer is probably yes, it does. But sometimes, when you learn the details of a particular way that human brains go reliably wrong, you consider all of human history leading up to the point that we learned about it and think, oh, oh no. So in the 60s, when psychology was getting out of its Freud phase and into some real science, a research team led by Melvin Lerner began measuring how people judge each other, and they noticed some interesting trends. All other things being equal. People who were awarded cash prizes, literally at random, were somehow seen as being more hardworking than people who weren't. Someone whose car caused a ton of damage in an accident was somehow seen as being more responsible for that accident than someone whose car only caused a little damage, even if the situations leading up to the accidents were exactly the same. Lerner theorized that the underlying cause for this odd bias was people's need to believe that the environment that they live in is, for the most part, just. That people generally get what they deserve. To test this idea, he set up an experiment where a group of people were shown a live feed of someone who was part of a learning experiment, where if they got a question wrong, they received a painful electric shock. One of the groups was told that if it seemed a little too harsh, they could vote to change the test to one where the subject was rewarded rather than punished. The other group wasn't given any such option. They were simply told that this was the nature of the test and that the person would keep getting shocked for wrong answers. Now, if you asked those two groups to make a guess as to the character of the person being shocked, you wouldn't really expect any difference, right? I mean, having the option to change the nature of the test doesn't have any effect on the identical information that they've received about the person on the screen. But weirdly enough, people who were presented with a situation where the victim was being punished and they had no chance to intervene had a much lower opinion of that person than anyone in the other group.  Why do they keep giving wrong answers?  These sorts of characterizations were significantly more likely for people who were watching and had no easy way to change the situation. It would seem that they were inventing some sort of rationalization for why the test subject deserved to be punished, why they had earned their shocks. Learner's theory has been tested in several different ways and they all seem consistent with the idea that human brains have a built-in rationalization mechanism. An unconscious process that manufactures reasons that our environment is mostly just, why the people around us are probably getting what they deserve, even if by any measure they really aren't. It's called the just-world hypothesis or the just-world fallacy. Now, that's kind of a misnomer because our brains seem to be fine with the idea that injustices exist somewhere, just not that something unjust might happen to us, that our immediate surroundings aren't karmatastic. And again, this isn't the result of somebody being naive or stupidly optimistic. This is a totally unconscious process that our brains perform automatically and it makes us irrationally inclined to believe that if somebody's suffering, then they probably deserve it. It shows up in tons of places.  If you show someone a video of domestic abuse and give them a reason that the assailant might be aggressive, then they'll generally attribute the incident to that. If you don't give them any reason, the one that they most commonly come up with is the victim probably had it coming. If you give one player a ton of extra money to start with in Monopoly, when they eventually win, they won't attribute their victory to that initial bonus. They'll also say that all of the other players just kind of suck at Monopoly. Huh. Now, just because this mechanism is inherent in automatic doesn't mean that it's the only thing running the show. Depending on people's experiences and conscious thoughts, they can give more or less credence to this impulse towards believing in a karmic world and let it play a greater or lesser role in influencing their decisions. Many psychologists believe that this is why people who survive some tremendous injustice, like innocent survivors of a war or a natural disaster, can be so shattered by that event. It's not just about coping with loss, it's also coping with the impact of having that psychological mechanism fed so much conflicting data that it just can't support the just world hypothesis anymore. Thankfully, for most of us, our situation is such that we don't usually have to confront massive injustice in any meaningful way. We might hear about stuff like an innocent person being shot by the police or somebody's life being ruined by the media for no good reason, but our brains are all too happy to leap in and say, ah, they probably deserve it.  It doesn't take a lot of imagination to understand why our brains would work so hard to invent reasons for us to not be terrified at the disparity between the world as we would like it to be and the world as it is. In fact, there's some recent research that shows that belief in a just world is good for mental and emotional well-being, that buying into the fallacy makes it easier to deal with stress. But the only way for us to actually approach that ideal of justice, the only way to make the world into a place where everyone really gets what they deserve, is to artificially impose that wherever we can. And the just world fallacy makes us more inclined to convince ourselves that it's already happening, even if it isn't. When we're thinking about how to build the systems that we use to create justice, things like laws, policies, and government, we should bear in mind that it's likely we'll have to go further than we think we do to achieve it. Because it might feel good to believe that giving somebody a thousand extra dollars at the start of a monopoly game isn't going to make a huge difference until you land on their park place for the third time. What instances of the just world fallacy have you experienced? Please leave a comment below and let me know what you think. Thank you very much for watching.

The one I often say to people is if you're doing service design And apart from all the usual things like trust the process and so on iterate But the one I often say is if you only do two things Do research and prototyping and if you only do one thing do research.


Oh, the buttons. Oh, I wanted the heavy so bad, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Oh my God, we did get the voted. See you later. How's it going, everybody? DatoDuo here, back with some more Dragon Ball Fighters Rank Match videos, and we are once again playing the main team of Krillin, Goku, and Yamcha. It's actually been a very, very long time since I've last played against a Piccolo, so hopefully this doesn't go too poorly for me. I'm just gonna super dash. Are we in already? Okay, he got us off. He did not want to be blocking any longer. Oh. Well, that Piccolo worry I had didn't come to m- Find me! Oh, I tried guard canceling. No, am I dead? Two bars? That might be enough to kill Krillin just straight out. It is. Wow, that was big damage.  Really awful for your health. I was trying to rush things though, so I will definitely take that. This caught me. Oh, you should have been worried about my mashing. You know I like to mash. Damn, he's really catching me trying to act after, like, any actions. Normally you would be able to, but that dive kick is really messing me up. I haven't had to take a short pause there. Just to make sure I didn't mess that one up. Can I see Piccolo instead? Okay. No, oh god. What is wrong with me? I'm just gonna spark. Forget this.  Please. I just- I got a sparking. I got a kids at home. Vanishing are coming out strong tonight, boys. Oh, I had that. Thankfully that didn't kill me. Alright, level three. We got a lot of comeback to do. We have a lot of ground to cover. Oh, man. We go overhead? I think we do, right? Overhead yoncha? Oh, the vanishing god. What is this lag?  It was obvious, but that's what made it not obvious. Act as- let me hit him with some of this. Oh, was that- I think that was raw. Was it? Doesn't matter too much. If you finally get Goku out, beam assist on standby, it's all good. I wish Krillin didn't die so early, but that's the life we live. Wow. In no world should I have let that hit me. I live in the world that it did. I like to think about all the parallel universes in which I didn't just get grabbed like that. Dude, that dragon- that's Super Dash's killer. You calm about that? Thank God. Don't tell me. Oh, drop it. Looking for a big drop here might not get what I'm looking for. No, no, I'm pretty sure I'm dead. The one he held back. Nah, even that was enough. Okay, understandable. Understandably so.  Okay, heart on my sleeve time. Let's not lose Krillin. Let's adjust the comfort level here. Move the controller. Aw, really? The six frames! I'm not enjoying this sweater weather. I am enjoying this though. I would admit, if we could just calm down the frames just a little. You know what? I'll take it. I'll take that every day of the week. Wow, that was EX. I should have reacted to that for some reason I panicked. EX is always behind. Yeah. Aw, the back dash. It was so obvious. Alright, we'll read the back dash next time. Next time we catch a block with that vanish. Damosu. Wild choice. Bars can't kill. No, that's a block vanish. Alright, his offense is leading us astray. I think we should maybe go for an early sparking. I should definitely feel that option now and see what we can get for it. I am sliding. Wow, my light didn't cut- Five frames. Please, don't just don't do me like this. No, not like this. Oh, the jab didn't come out. I did, it just got intercepted by the heavy. Hey, I tried to stop that.  Nice. Okay. Not the worst. We lost sparking though in a horrible, tragic event. I couldn't beat him to the punch.  Super Saiyan Goku can make comebacks. If any character on this team can make a comeback, it would be Goku. Oh my goodness. Okay, I definitely want sliding though. That's a must-have. Must-have buy on the holiday shopping list. This dude just down-tacked. No mercy. That's a comeback. Hey, he tried it. He really tried to delay that. Oh, Piccolo's left. Oh, three bars of sparking blast though. Level three, that much health. No, no. All the bad tactics are coming out tonight, folks. Beat that. He didn't read it fast. Far enough. All right, I'm not too afraid of that. Up close and personal, but beats it anyway. Okay. Do we still have Rosé? Because that's all that matters to me. I saw last time we lost 4,800. I saw we had 4,900. Yeah, baby. Oh, on the edge, I'm skirting it. I don't know why I clicked three bars though. The Framage. Oh, God. No, that's fine. Okay, okay. I can appreciate this. Behind me again. I'm really getting ruined by that. Oh, I couldn't block it. Nice. Okay, that's the first hit though. Oh, sliding or switch out. I couldn't EX scale clause. No. Damn, this corner stuff is crazy. Okay, damn. Okay. Super dash. That's fast. Nice. Can I get a switch out? Nice. Okay, good. I was very worried about ruining that too. Okay, that one combo. If it does, oh, that was so upsetting. Wow. Real upset hours.  That was, that was a real ballsy. That was a real ballsy. What did he even do? I forget. Oh, this is so aggravating how I suck. Can this kill? No, he wants to swap. Nicely done, Yamcha. Now, does he down tick here as well? I couldn't block it in time. I couldn't switch. Boom. Okay, that's a real problem character down. As you can probably notice, I sucked against that Goku blue. He tested me with some lights. I should have thrown a medium. I didn't know he wanted the whole value meal. Drop it. Oh, I don't need another bar to kill. Oh, wait. I need to up-teck and block. No, I need a down-teck. I have up-tecked way too much this game. That was a simple, that was just all read. If one bar won't kill, I have to spend two. Sweep them away. Okay, this is the best game we've had for us so far. All right. Oh, that would have been no. Okay, the Super Dash King has returned. And that's got to be me. Oh, I'm just doing panic shots because I don't want to get caught by a Super Dash.  I'm looking for that sparking, honestly. Oh, God. Anybody else very scared that I won't be able to block all this? I tried to challenge him. Oh, there's the cross-up. Okay, I was very worried about Zamasu. I wasn't worried, but I was looking for it because I wanted to get out. Nicely done. I know. Can a man get a sliding? Okay, nice. Rough game though. That was not clean at all, but it gives us confidence, gives us a little bit of points back. Anything. There was no lag in that game. At least I don't think so. Thank you for the nice. I appreciate the stamp. I appreciate the go-getter stamp attitude at the very least. Oh, let's go. You know what? Maybe I got to get some. I've been playing defensively this whole game. Can I? That one was a heartbreaker. Remember all that confidence I wanted to have? It's gone now.  I'm going to have to slow that one down. That one was just like... Forget it, dude. That one killed me. Really, no mix. Okay, I'm canceling too much now. It's become a passion of mine. I'm finished. This is going to kill. I didn't see what it started as. Aw, we're dead. Nice, nice. Okay, if we can get Goku blue out, I don't mind that too much. Safe to say I wish it wasn't Yamcha. Oh, the changing. Just to cover that ground. Can you get sliding here? Oh, God, that's the kicks. What a flurry of attacks. All right, knock me down. This is our chance. This is our chance, boys. It should kill. Good kill. Please. Okay, I did say that. I didn't know Krillin was going to come in a field away. I thought he was going to be a little closer, so I thought the kill would be more confirmed. Every time I try to test it, I don't know that wake-up timing. I've played this game for years. Really? But he can't level three. Oh, the lights. I thought he'd at least run up, and maybe I get a chance to see if he dropped it or not. But nah, it didn't work out. Okay, Goki, what do you got from me, though? Okay, we finally get the full read. Finally, the book is out. The judgment is in. Oh, the Super Dash Invertaliation. Oh, I really tried it. Okay? He was right. He was right. He read it right. Oh, he read it right. I wish he didn't. Oh, that was so risky. Oh, the buttons. Oh, I wanted the heavy so bad, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Oh, my God, we did get demoted. See you later. See you later. I'm not going anywhere. Not until I get demoted or take a win. I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going anywhere. See you later. See you later. I'm not going anywhere. I'm down heavy. No. Not in the moment I needed you most. Okay. I can't say I'm enjoying. I was on a real confident tirade there. I was on a real confident tirade. It was obvious. It was obvious. I'll give it up. Understandable. Okay, that's what I want to say. Oh, yeah, that's exactly what you like to see today. In these days, in these wild political climate days. Okay. Save some blue life. Huh? Let me get some more. Let me get some hard knockdown. Maybe I like this aggressive play style. Yeah, I didn't know what happened either. Just die. Die.  Hard to read. Hard to read on my part. Taste divine theory. Is this what it tastes like? In tech. In tech. Unfortunate. Okay. Still have sparking in our pocket though. That's what gives me hope more than anything.  Is he level three here? Yeah, I would do. I would too, to be honest. Does this make me... That was so risky what I did there. Oh, come on. No, come on. That wasn't supposed to be a tag. We're in. Okay, we're in. We're super in now. We'll see you later. How about I'll see you right now? How about I'll see you in the ring? Jokes aside, thank you for watching this ranked match video. I gotta go now. Let's keep it up. Oh, see me in the ring. I'd be throwing. Do I got that? Oh, man. You want one more, huh? You want to see me in the ring? I'll see you in the ring. I'll see you right now. I'll see you in the ring. Yeah, I'm seeing you right now. This is my, this is my new thing. What? Oh, no. I'm the back.  All right, we're doing okay. Oh, why did I down heavy and not just light it up? It's in the square button. Just sliding. Oh, he's just, he's just doing it. Oh, how much damage? Wow. I didn't block the right way. Can you not? Can you don't yoncha? There we go. Now we're playing the game I like to play. Now we're playing fighters. He just tased me. I do tased the ever living stuff out of it. Wow. That was a bad guard cancel. I've really overestimated the commitment that would be. Okay. I like where this is going. Is this a knockout? Where this is? And we have some blue life. So, you know, Krillin could always feed me a bean. I'd be okay with that. I actually might ask Krillin for a little bean here. Oh, yes, dude. This is the game I like to play. I don't know about you guys. Ah, too late. Too late on the draw. I switched out to Krillin because he is the lowest health. So if we die, we just get reset back to neutral instead of a hard knockdown. So, you know, if we die here, yep, that's fine because now instead of dealing with a mix and then panicking, we just come right back out. I didn't block. Oh, man. Oh, man. What a plan. Don't get a level three. Okay. I'll take it. I will definitely take that to the bank. Just stepping on my beams today, huh? It's cool. I'll see you in the ring, bro. I'll see you in the ring. Mix me up. Swear to God, I'll click square on you. You don't even want to see me in the ring tonight. All right. This is so long. I really do got to go. Thank you guys so much for watching. Thank you to my opponent for playing the matches with me. I'm going to go ahead and be getting out of here. I don't have any stamps that I would use here. But yeah, thanks so much for the games. Thank you guys so much for watching. If you have a favorite moment, leave it down below in the comments. While you're down there, let me know how your rank matches this week are going.

Aloha. Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening. You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German or Turkish Japanese. But anyone from any corner of the earth come to the United States and become an American. Welcome back to A Nation of Immigrants, a talk show program featuring the lives of immigrants, knowledge, diversity, and inclusion. Created by Singtank, Hawaii, and Kingsfield Law Office. We invite renowned immigrants to discover life stories, immigration adventures, and their contribution to the United States. Today's guest is our good friend, Professor Jianping Wang from the University of Minnesota. Welcome, Professor. Thank you, Chang. Yeah, good with you. Well, we are thrilled to have you, and we don't have a lot of scientists on our show, and you are such a prominent scientist. You have a very long career and extremely accomplished scholarship and education, and I was completely astonished when I read your bio. But now I'm going to offer our audience a shorter version of your bio, and please correct me if I pronounce any of the words wrong, because I'm a lawyer, and some of these STEM vocabulary is quite new to me. No problem. Yeah, great honor with you and with this program. Yeah. Thank you, Professor. Professor Wang, Jianping Wang is a distinguished McKnight University Professor and Robert Hartman Chair in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota. Professor Wang is the inventor of the Rear Earth three-iron nitrate magnet, several magnetic reporting media and spin-tronic devices for memory and computing applications, and a high-moment magnet nanoparticle, and a large aerial magnetic biosensor for medicine applications. Those are sounds extremely sophisticated, but honestly, Professor, I have no idea what are they, and you may perhaps we can have your explanation a little bit later. Professor Wang, you received an ISIC Technical Achievement Award in 2006 for the Demonstration of the Exchange-Coupled Composite Magnetic Media. You received a 2019 Technical Excellence Award from the Semiconductor Research Corporation. Innovations and discoveries in nanomagnetic and novel materials that accelerated the production of magnetic random-access memory. You host 72 U.S. patents that have been licensed to six companies. You are the co-founder of Nitrogen Magnetic Inc, Zepto Life Technology LLC, and Universal Magnetic Systems C. Professor Wang has published more than 400 articles and seven book chapters. Professor Wang was the recipient of the outstanding Professor Award for his contribution to undergraduate teaching in 2010. Professor Wang graduated 37 PhD students and trained 13 post-torial fellows after he joined the University of Minnesota. Professor Wang has been elected to the National Academy of Inventors in 2022. Professor Wang is also a fellow of IEEE and APS, American Physical Sciences. This is just a very condensed shorter version of a bio. Professor Wang has to admit this is absolutely astonishing, but I want to ask you, you have four identities.  So which identity you think is most important to you? Yeah. First, thank you so much, Dr. Chang Wang, and I thank the Technic Support like Mark for putting me on this program. It's a great honor to be with the audience and all the people. Yeah, I'll answer your question. It's hard to see that. I really value my role, if I really can do something along that line, even better, that is as an educator, as a professor I can get a chance to train and teach and pass down my personal experience to the young students, especially college students, and then come to the PhD research students. So that's why I'm one of the most. Thank you. We are very lucky to have you here at the university. I have so many questions I want to ask you. And first of foremost, at some point you worked for Chinese Academy of Science and Institute of Physics. That is the same institute my father worked. So by your serendipity, now I'm basically interviewing my father's colleague, and that I consider that it's dream honor and privilege. Thank you again to be on the show. Now we want to talk about your American journey. You came to the United States from Singapore. This is really rare because most people go to Singapore, probably, or settle there. It's one of the most loveable cities, a country in the world, extremely beautiful, extremely open. And so may I ask why did you move from Singapore to Minnesota? Yeah, that's definitely a big question. And this big decision we made. Look at it weather-wise also, people will be surprised to move from a very warm and kind of city country to Minnesota, people scared by winter. But I and my family, we made that decision. It's not large and light. And then we really value or appreciate all the good experience in Singapore, the seven years. We met so many wonderful people. And then the life there is also wonderful. By the end of the day, the opportunity show up. Minnesota has this techy position that you could people. And my background matched well. I didn't know that until I talked to Professor Jack Judy and Rendo Victoro and a couple of other colleagues later on who were at the University of Minnesota. And yeah, it really filled my background fit well. And then I came here for an interview and then talked to people around feel, oh, yeah, here we have a nice people and also Minnesota is very famous on magnetic research. Oh, we have a good team here and also have industry and also education. So one word I can summarize the opportunity, yeah, that make me but although there's a risk, there's uncertainty. Move from very stabilized life, you know, in Singapore and to someplace again to start from scratch. Yeah. Yeah, but I think it's good. Yeah, so it's a wonderful experience and opportunity for me, for my family, for my kids, I think it's all well. Yeah. Thank you very much. I think you made the right decision. And I mean, so that couldn't be happier to have you here. And which year was that? 2001? 2002. Yeah. Yeah, these are one year earlier than I moved to Minnesota. I came here in 2003. So you'll be in the United States about 20 years. And what's your, well, maybe this question a little bit of mood, but what what excites you about means Minnesota or in the United States, generally speaking? I feel the one words I can summarize is hard to, you know, summarizing symbol way, but if just need pick up one word, I think is you can buy a lot of things, you know, there's no much boundary in term of you explore new things. Yeah. That I feel very, very exciting. Although in Singapore, I can do a lot of good things. That's true. You know, I lead a bigger group and I got a lot of support from government, from university and, you know, we do a lot of good thing for, you know, university and also industry there. But still you want to explore new things. You really need to have certain environment that you feel more encouraged. There's a lot of resource around and as long as you try, there's no limit. And I feel that part is more exciting. Yeah. Yeah, there's 20 years. Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. What you said just to remind me President Joe Biden's famous quote, that if I can summarize the United States into one word, possibility. There's just so much tremendous possibilities in this country on the land of free and which many other countries cannot and it's just absolutely stunning unlimited potential here in the United States.  You know, I came to know you through your work and leadership in the Chinese-American community. And I'm still grateful for your leadership and in the Chinese-American community and also your help and mentoring to the younger generation. So what are you most proudest thing you have done in Minnesota and for the community? I know last time we talked about your leadership during the COVID and but I want to know more about your achievements in the Chinese-American community. Yeah, Chang, so I would like to say I haven't done too much. Yeah, so I really feel like I always can do more. I have very busy teaching schedule, research schedule, and then a lot of new things always come up and need to pay attention to in terms of, you know, research and innovation. But at the same time, as you mentioned, sometimes you feel you can do something, you can help, and that's exactly maybe you refer to, you know, during the pandemic years and I feel there are certain things I can help the community, not just the Chinese-American community. I think as a community as a whole, right, because I'm part of a community around the University of Minnesota, Twin City campus. As an example, every year, you know, my wife and I, we always donate to the community through, you know, they have a fund there and then all kinds of different, different, you know, the usage of those donations, environment and the homeless, all those. We did that, you know, since we moved here every year, we feel that we are part of the community. But during the pandemic year, if you refer to the little things I have, very, very little, is I feel we need to have, you know, all the people can talk to each other and there are certain things not happening in a good way and you couldn't just blame one side, you know, and so you have to see why that happened. A lot of time is engagement, there's discussion now and also, you know, try to show, you know, you have a good wish, you really want to do the good thing and a lot of things missing around that line, especially not just from one side, you know, Chinese-American community or even the mainstream, right, the both sides need to learn from each other. So I feel my personal experience is really international and then know how to work with different group of people and that gives me an opportunity. I work with a couple of young Chinese-American and in Minnesota, we form a forum, or the May forum, May more like a May flower, you know, we really value how this country is being built. And at the same time, May is a month for this Asian-Pacific, you know, American, right, as the heritage monks. So through this forum, including we invite Dr. Chang Wang Yu as part of a panelist, we try to make engagement really happen that people talk and also we showcase how Chinese-Americans can do well and then if it's really there, you know, engaged and then also many things already happen in the past, right, like, you know, real world, real, real way of being built 150 years ago, right? A lot of people not knowing that and then we show that and also young generation now more like they're doing all those entrepreneurship is amazing. So we let them talk and then we just provide a platform. I haven't done too much, all is a panelist job. You're too humble, Professor. You're too humble. The May forum was absolutely fantastic. I was very honored to be part of it. And you are, it's true. And you're not only, you know, very active in the Chinese-American community, but your influence goes beyond the Chinese-American community to reach to the Asian-Pacific community and the university community, so the community, and the city's community as well. As a fourth generation immigrant, the immigrant and which is also a human embodiment of American dream. And may I say you have already achieved your American dream from your long bio and very. Oh, no, no, not at all. Yeah. Well, but I think you are mentoring the younger generation and there are a lot of new Chinese students, dollars and new immigrants come to the United States, come to the cities. And what advice you would give to these new immigrants and just to come here, try to pursue their American dream. Okay. Yeah. Thank you so much, yeah, it's a very kind of words you just said. But I feel my American dream is still not fully complete. It's a long way to go. And but I feel very positive, you know, it's really, really doing well, you know, in terms of everything I engaged, I involved. Yeah. So, but there's so many big names there.  And then down to the road, even the recent year, you can see, although some people like Elon Musk, some, maybe had different opinion, but still, also he said, you know, big, big, big, you know, high bar there, right. So that's many. And then like, American scientists, maybe the first American born Nobel Prize winner is a female rich are female, right. You know, I still far away to those people. I hope I can, the next 20 years, I can do something a little bit closer to that. But, you know, even with that humble experience, I still want the, there's something in the past 10, 20 years, I learned through the, you know, from Beijing to Singapore to Minnesota and also travel around the world. I can see there's so many things, the people, especially young people, they move to here, they can do much better in other place.  And number one, we shouldn't complain. You always will run into difficulty and shouldn't complain. And then you should feel this something people already work so hard to build a foundation around you, right. Otherwise, how can you have this good starting point? A lot of people forget that part, including me, I always say, you know, I came here and not just build up from square, there's so many things already been there already, like my kids, you know, went to the school here and the wonderful school, public school, without those teachers, how can you have this school, right, without the people so those schools, how can you have kids, you know, you don't need to worry too much, you know, when they go to school, right. So I think the first thing to young generation, immigrants don't complain, you have to work hard, you have to value what we already have here. Second part I would like to say is the most important, that is, what's the mindset you should have, should have. So that is, you need to try something new, you have to do something new, and using the words we call the creation, innovation, right. But it's just very simple, just try something new, and then this country really give you opportunity to try something new, and you can feel, but you still can do again, right. I'm not sure many place can be like this, this is really, really one of the best place to give you that opportunity, yeah. Yes, thank you so much, Professor. It's wonderful, wonderful advice. I will follow your advice. I'm not a person like to complain, but I think that is very important. I wish I could hear that when I was in my early 20s.  And we talk about American dream, we talk about possibility, but is there anything particular striking you the most about American is, and something you think is very unique and interesting of the United States, distinguishable from the Chinese and the Singaporean. Yeah, I think, again, there could be many answers along this line, right. So different person have different experience, right, and they may have different comments, or different, you know, feeling about what's the difference, you know, between those different countries.  And so, so my, my, my most, you know, strongest feeling towards to those we call the kind of freedom of trying things, right. And the freedom to try to speak, you can speak loudly, you can communicate with people, you can talk to the people. And in a way, and, you know, there is no much consequence. And then second part, I believe connect to this is, you know, is here, you do have authority, but, you know, in the academic, you have authority in a senior professor, right. But still the, you know, younger or middle age professor, or the researcher or any place. I think people feel more equal, right, more like, you know, you just do well. And then everything's good. Yeah, it's not just, you know, looks into another way, right. Yeah. So that's, I feel a little different here. Yeah. Thank you very much. That may translate what you said into legal ease. We call it eco protection. And a new process in this country is very unique is equality. And there is no normal man in this country. And there are no, there are hierarchies, but generally speaking, each human being is have individual rights. And they can live, and they can speak freely, and with dignity, and decency, which is not, you know, something we take for granted in this country, particularly the younger generation. But in many other countries, people have to fight with their blood and fear even life for that. And I think that is the America has been blessed with. Anyway, let's move to a little bit lighter topic. And what's your life like in Twin Cities? You know, I envision you have a wonderful life in Singapore, but now you're in this, we are getting cold nowadays. And what do you generally like your neighborhood in the Twin Cities? And what normally do you do after work? Obviously, you spend most of the time work, but I imagine you also have some leisure time, you volunteer for the community. And do you play basketball and ping pong, swing? And what do you do?  And yeah, I'm the short man. Yeah, for that way. But I play basketball when I was a college student, and I enjoyed very much because there's team sports, and they really make you engage with other people and then, you know, compete. You're doing well at that time as college. And now, you know, the first 10, 15 years, you know, moved here so much work, and we have to down in the lab and, you know, teaching. So I couldn't do too much on the sports. But in recent five, you know, five, seven years, and I got a little bit of luxury time and during the weekend now. So I can, you know, kind of play a little bit of golf, golfing. Yeah, so that's one thing. And also, I watched sports. One thing I learned is I learned from my son. So he was a high school student. When he was high school, he played, you know, football. Yeah, as an American football. American football. Yeah, no soccer. Yeah. Yeah, I learned from him. I watched, I sent him to school, you know, he played and I watched. And then I step by step learned from that. So, and I started learning to watch and I feel that's a very, very good game. Yeah, American game. Yeah, basically kind of have a leadership, kind of teamwork, balance out. And yeah, so my neighbor also, I think I feel my neighbors, they have a season ticket, you know, so Vikings game, football against the NFL. And they have season ticket. A lot of times it got my boy, that's many years back, and then you let him to watch together with their family. Yeah, so I have wonderful neighbors. I believe a lot of Minnesota people feel the same way.  Yeah, you feel very warm. And the same thing I try to do to many other people too. Now, my neighborhood started to change, you know, from old to the young generation again. And we try to pass down those kind of things to, you know, young generation. Absolutely. It's the way we all, we first came here that we heard the word Minnesota nice. And it's supposed to be a negative word. But the more I stay here, the more I think that is the positive. And there's a very, many other people are really, really nice. Yeah, Chan, you 100% right on that. I would like to see one more hard on Minnesota nice, right? That's one of the reason I stay here 20 years and maybe another 20 years. Yeah, yeah. And then Minnesota nice is not just the one word talk about people's character or the way they talk to the people, you know, work with people is you can put a little bigger framework that that's a spirit of Midwest of America and the Midwest part of American a little different from East and West, right? Why may I say a lot of different. Yeah, yeah. There are many, many things in common, you know, is the creation, innovation, entrepreneurial, twice since new. But there are some a little bit different people know that rush, you know, try to rush to things. And here, you know, the people already like work together. There's a good teamwork and even more like this, I have to see that I work around the travel around the US. I met a lot of people doctors, professors, you know, CEOs, and then turns out a lot of them from Midwest. And I can see a lot of common part from those people. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I totally agree. And we are in the right place. We're running out of time. But I do want to ask you the final question. And very quickly, you mentioned 20 years twice, and you mentioned that you are you have plans for your for 20 years. So what do you image? It's very odd to ask a very accomplished professor this question. But what do you see yourself in 20 years? And what do you plan for the next next phase? Yeah, I think I, yeah, that's a bigger plan. But at some time, I think I start still start from small, right? I have to do step by step, you know, the big plan is my research, I really lucky and feel blessed, magnetic research, and you know, work on magnetic material device research, there's tons of applications. And it turns out in recent 10 years, and then applications really impact our society more than everyone think about that. And including environmental protection, like, you know, you don't use critical materials, and then you can build up the device. And including the we call the energy efficient computing, or memory, right, means you don't need too much energy, consume the electrical, you know, power being generated worldwide, try to low down their numbers, means in some sense, you save our mother Earth. And our research is really, really going along that line. Now, and then if we can have a certain big breakthrough down the road, I think we can help further we already have a lot, as you read out my resume, we really help a lot through the past 20 years, research at the Union Minnesota, my group and my collaborators. I think next 20 years, I feel we can do more along that line, maybe, you know, even critical, some, some single, but that's rely on the student post or the good collaborate.  Thank you so much. Please save the world. Please save us from the climate change. Well, it's we're running out of time, but the water is still what a wonderful, you know, cage and that we have the you're on the show. Thank you so much, Professor Jim P. Wong, Professor scientist, innovator, inventor and entrepreneur. Thank you, Professor. Welcome. Welcome to the show. And I hope to have you back on the show again. Thank you. Thank you so much, Charles. And thank you, Mark. Yeah, for all the support. Take care. Aloha.

Well night one of the first 2020 Democratic Party primary debate has officially concluded and that was absolutely Fascinating. Um, I really found it entertaining It was thoroughly enjoyable for me because I'm a nerd Donald Trump certainly didn't like it because he tweeted that it was boring But you know, nobody cares about what he has to say. He thinks that Fox News is entertaining But I'm gonna give you my breakdown of this debate in this video We're gonna get to the winners the losers the good moments the bad moments But I will probably do a follow-up with a couple of clips because there were some moments that I want to explore a little bit In greater detail. So just generally speaking, let me just say that even though Bernie Sanders did not attend this debate He still had a presence here because a lot of the issues that were talked about were popularized by Bernie Sanders Medicare for all Policies that actually help provide jobs for the working class that are aimed at tackling climate change Simultaneously, I mean all of these broad themes. They're being discussed because of Bernie Sanders So he may not have been here, but he still had a pretty substantial influence now getting to Statistics about this particular debate when you look at the overall time that each candidate got to speak According to this poll by the Washington Post Cory Booker got to speak the most and they usually Seemed to call on candidates who were polling higher So Elizabeth Warren at least for the first half was called on pretty frequently better Or work was called on and just broadly speaking the candidates with the higher polling Tended to you know overall get to speak the most although there were some people like John Delaney Who kind of just elbowed his way in and got as much talk time as Tulsi Gabbard Which irritated me because he just wouldn't shut up He kept butting in and I get that that's what you're supposed to do But if you're gonna butt in and not say something substantive and meaningful Then you need to be quiet stay in your lane wait to jump in until you have an issue that really speaks to you But everything he said was horrible. So I'm kind of spoiling who I think was one of the losers But one more Graph that I want to show you is this graph about the number of times that Donald Trump was invoked Looks like Amy Klobuchar invoked Donald Trump quite a bit Tulsi Gabbard invoked him three times And I do think that this is important to invoke the Republican Opponent who you may or may not be running against because it shows that you're confident It shows that you're not afraid to take on Donald Trump You are not afraid to stand up to someone who may be your opponent So I think that by criticizing Donald Trump it demonstrates strength Although for candidates like Elizabeth Warren, she didn't mention Donald Trump But at the same time I can't fault her for that because I think that what she did was fantastic in terms of staying close to policy Talking about corruption. So let me get to the winners and the losers. This debate did not turn out in the way that I expected I think that we kind of had an upset. So I'll tell you who I think won But first, let me just broadly speaking Give you a couple of categories. So I have four categories that I've created here. So we've got good Well, that means the candidate did okay We have the Mac category and then we have the losers now. Who do I think are the losers? John Delaney and Beto O'Rourke now I think that overall John Delaney is probably the biggest loser because He didn't have a breakout moment. He spoke For a relatively long, you know, period of time in comparison with other candidates And he didn't have a moment where he shied. He criticized Medicare for all when it comes to Beto O'Rourke He couldn't answer Questions, I mean I think it was Aaron Matei who said on twitter that he just made history by not answering a question in two different languages I mean he has nothing but platitudes and Booker has the same problem So I wouldn't necessarily say that Beto lost because of this But he always opens an answer to a question about a personal story or an anecdote You know, I talked to timmy in Iowa and he said this and um gene in uh, new hampshire said this Beto just answered the question cut to the chase answer the question So that's one of the reasons why I think he didn't perform well But another reason why he didn't perform well is because this was kind of a dog pile and Beto O'Rourke There were numerous moments where you had Um, Julien Castro go after Beto. You had Bill de Blasio go after Beto on numerous occasions So people were shitting on Beto and I loved it. He was backed into a corner He also didn't answer questions It just wasn't a good look and I said Prior to this debate that this was make or break for Beto because he's going down on the polls I believe one poll had him tied with Mike Ravel. He had to shine here and he didn't Didn't expect much from John Delaney and he basically performed as well as I expected him to Getting into the mech category Amy Klobuchar She I mean she didn't have a breakout moment She said things that were um pretty boring and milk toast, but she didn't fumble. She didn't face plant um Too badly at any point. It was just very meh Tim Ryan he actually seemed to have this mid-debate strategy shift and he wasn't really Saying much but towards the middle half of the debate He started to kind of stand out and talk about you know We need to stand up for the middle class and we need to play offense and go after republicans And I thought that that was really strong. Had he not taken those stands He probably would have been in the loser category, but because he kind of came with something anything You know that got him moved up into the meh category for me Here's who I think did well. They didn't lose But there was more to be desired. Maybe they had a couple of good moments. So in this category Cory Booker Tulsi Gabbard and Jay Inslee Cory Booker he had some good moments But um nothing that really stood out too much He has the same problem that beto has as I mentioned He just he doesn't know how to not come off as a rehearsed politician He doesn't know how to make it seem like you know every sentence he says is contrived He can't help himself. He's just a rehearsed thumb pointing politician But I mean with that being said I think he was incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to lgbtq rights He talks intelligently about a lot of issues But um, I just I don't think he was the winner. He didn't do bad He did he did well. He did okay not going to hurt him Not necessarily going to give him a boost because I don't think he was the standout when it comes to Tulsi Gabbard throughout the first three quarters of the debate I was screaming at my screen Begging her to jump in because I was looking at some of these uh graphs from the washington post She wasn't getting much talk time. She wasn't getting called on and when it became clear That they weren't really going to call on her that much At that point she needed to take the gloves off elbow her way into that conversation start interrupting Start chiming in like john delaney was doing. Um But the reason why I think overall she did well is because she had the one moment She really needed to have she had a breakout moment and it was probably one of the highlights If not the highlight of the night when she just basically owned tim ryan when it comes to his um Support for the u.s. Empire. He talked about staying in afghanistan and definitely she chimed in made him look like a dunce That was such a powerful moment that that single-handedly moved her up But going into the next debate she has to be more aggressive I get that her demeanor is more calm and this isn't a criticism of tulsi gabbard I'm speaking more to debate performance and strategy She has to be more assertive and more aggressive Because I think that a lot of these candidates when you have like 10 people on the stage You're gonna have at least two people that will try to chime in and take up all the air in the room This debate, you know John delaney was kind of that guy who kept inserting himself Into the conversation when nobody really wanted to hear from him So you have people like that that you're competing with you also have the front runners who are pulling higher Who you're competing with so going into this next debate I really really hope that she pulls the gloves off and she just Hammers more people because when she hammered tim ryan, that was a bright moment And if you give her two or three more um moments like that This could really help her had she not had that moment. I would have been worried I would have moved her into the mad category only because she didn't get a chance to speak But because that moment was so amazing and I just I was living for it. She She stole my heart right there. Um because of that she's in the well category. Um Hopefully that alone will bring people's attention to you know, her foreign policy platform because She's great on foreign policy. She's the best in this race on foreign policy It's just a matter of making sure you Make your case and you make it well Um when it comes to j insley, I think he performed okay You know, he didn't really have any bright moments When it comes to who's a geopolitical threat and we'll talk about the framing of that question later on But he said donald trump You're the climate change guy. You've got to say climate change. So I still think that he did a you know an acceptable job a passable job At focusing on his issue but in comparison with tulsi gabber like she has foreign policy. He has climate change I don't think he did as well But overall his performance throughout the debate was a little bit more consistent like with tulsi gabber We were trailing, you know, just pretty pretty low and then we had this big boost for him He was kind of in the middle the entire time. So that's why I put these candidates in the uh, They did well category okay So when it comes to the good category, I placed elizabeth warner in this category hulian castro in this category And bill de blasio in this category now. Keep in mind. This is not me endorsing their policies This is me speaking to their debate performance Who did I think won this debate? I'm shocked to hear myself say this But it was bill de blasio bill de blasio won this debate And one thing I said it in my pre-debate analysis was that he would try to be The progressive he tried to outflank the rest of the people on stage and try to out bernie elizabeth warren so to speak and What he said was great now Do I believe anything that bill de blasio has to say? Um, no not necessarily. I think he's full of shit back in 2016 He could have endorsed a true progressive Like bernie sanders, but he endorsed hillary clinton during the primary when like it wasn't over at all So he isn't the real deal without being said on debate performance He hit it out of the park now Originally I thought it was very clear that elizabeth warren was dominating But she was only dominating when she was being called on once they stopped calling on her She kind of just faded away and throughout the second half of the debate She was a non-entity However in that first half she was absolutely Amazing her performance was just top tier and she did what she needed to do I think she did enough to maintain her lead possibly grow it Especially because of her answer on medicare for all now huli and castro He was kind of the breakout here. I don't think he's the winner of this debate But he was A breakout star and this is because he came off as someone who was very strong Not necessarily on economic issues But he spoke very intelligently about issues related to um race and gender He absolutely dominated the debate on immigration So he did a good job when it comes to his performance, but overall I think the standout here surprisingly Was bill de blazio bill de blazio. How weird is that? So let's get to some specific moments here Um, I already touched on this But we have to talk about that moment between tulsi gabard and tim ryan That moment was so thoroughly embarrassing for tim ryan Not only did she challenge him on his interventionist views But she got him to stumble Because he said that The taliban attack that's on 9 11 and she corrected him. She looked incredibly strong right there Tim ryan looked incredibly weak. Had it not been for that performance. He would have been Pretty good, you know overall But she hammered him hard and I think that what she gave us there was a glimpse At how powerful she could be if she wielded her knowledge In a more effective way We know now that she's got it in her to be an attack dog Now she just needs to do this and hit the other candidates. That was phenomenal But we'll get to that in a separate segment Another highlight for me was when huli and kastro called out beto orork Because he claims to be great on immigration, you know, he started the first question Speaking in spanish, which led to kori booker giving him, you know pretty hilarious side-eye and elizabeth warren too He tries to appear to be a strong person on immigration But huli and kastro called him out because he doesn't want to repeal 1325 which it decriminalizes someone entering Uh the country illegally it drops it from, you know, a federal crime To a civil offense if you don't support that then you're just not as compassionate as you say you are beto Now the moment for me that was probably one of the highlights Was that elizabeth warren finally finally gave us what we wanted When it comes to medicare for all So the question was posed to the candidates. Which of you support Getting rid of private health insurance companies only two candidates sadly raised their hands Bill de Blasio and elizabeth warren I was Very disappointed that tulsi gabbert didn't also raise her hand because she's been an advocate for medicare for all And I wish she would have raised her hand now. There's a question about whether or not. Well, you know Does medicare for all actually get rid of private insurance companies? Um pretty much that's the answer. It's complicated. This is nuanced But if you support medicare for all In short, you should have raised your hand So let me explain to you The complicated provision in both bernie sanders bill and premilla jaya paul's bill does it outright ban Uh supplemental private insurance No, in fact, it states explicitly that it doesn't intend to outlaw that However, there's a big caveat It does Rule out it prohibits duplicative care. So if the federal government Is providing you with you know, these types of health care Coverages, we know that bernie's medicare for all plan for example covers, um Uh eye exams That cannot be sold on the private market. It bans duplicative care So because bernie and jaya paul's bills ban duplicative care What's the implication the overall goal is to phase out these private insurance companies That's exactly what these bills are intended and designed Specifically to do now There's a question of well, what about for cosmetic surgeries? Like if you want to get, you know, a nose job for example Can you still get insurance covered for that? The answer technically is yes but If you talk to anyone who gets these cosmetic procedures if you get braces, for example, iad braces You don't get insurance for that. You finance that most of the time Like an insurance company isn't going to cover you for a really expensive procedure Knowing that they won't be able to be able to profit off of you Right, so for these types of cosmetic procedures You're not really going to be able to get insurance anyway, so Overall the goal Is to phase out private insurance companies and if you support medicare for all you want Private insurance companies to be phased out and the reason for that is because if you don't phase them out Then those capitalistic forces will attack our public medicare for all plan And they're going to try to get portions of it privatized so they can get a larger share of the market So if you support medicare for all you have to get on board with abolishing private insurance companies Elizabeth Warren and bill de Blasio surprised me here by doing that tulsi gabbert surprised me For by not doing that But hopefully she will get on board because if you're you're going to support medicare for all you have to be strong You have to be strong and you've got to get on board with abolishing private insurance companies You have to Now Elizabeth Warren said what I needed her to say I'm with bernie and she explicitly said she supports medicare for all This is what we've been waiting on Elizabeth Warren to do Although there's a little bit of irony here because you know it was phrased in the way of so are you with bernie? Or do you support many paths? She walked away from that and she said i'm with bernie. She said that unequivocally However, if a candidate has to say i'm with another candidate The implication is well, maybe I should just vote for that candidate that they're with i.e. bernie sanders So, um, you know she she did the right thing But she needs to be consistent. She's been incredibly wishy-washy. She's gone back and forth back and forth Once and for all she needs to say I'm for or against medicare for all and she needs to be clear We got an indication that she's putting her feet in the medicare for all camp Although, uh, i'm not gonna lie. I can't really trust her because she keeps going back and forth But based on debate performance, um, she did the right thing here So let me just give you the rundown on some quick things here when it comes to warren's answer on the economy I think she had a great response to the economy. Who's it working for when it comes to free college Amy klobuchar had the generic corporate democrat talking point that you know, I don't want to pay for Free college for rich kids. I don't think americans should bear that burden Except rich kids aren't going to go to public universities klobuchar that's what hillary clinton said in 2016 and people made fun of her for it because You're not acknowledging or at least you're you know, you're ignoring the fact that rich people are going to go to Private educations regardless if we make public universities tuition free So you're not going to be paying for the education of rich people. That's a cop out and a bad answer better or work Refused to answer the question as to whether or not he supports a 70 percent marginal tax to which bill de Blasio then Hit him on that which I loved elizabeth warren channeled bernie sanders channeled aoc and talked about investing in green energy Circling back to health care. I'm glad that bill de Blasio hit better for his weakness here I'm glad that elizabeth warren was incredibly strong tocy gabbert Even though she disappointed me by not raising her hand when it comes to the question of abolishing private insurance She still stood out by talking about the cost savings of medicare for all on private businesses How other countries have implemented medicare for all this is a great point that needed to be brought up So between gabbert warren and de Blasio, they were the strongest on health care But definitely warren de Blasio because they committed to abolishing private insurance the weakest were booker and definitely inslee because they both brought up Access and whenever a politician drops access in the context of health care. That's code for I don't support medicare for all Now when it comes to immigration hulian castrow dominated Something he said that really resonated with me. He said we need a marshal plan for honduras and guatemala to fix this issue Great response because nobody ever focuses when talking about immigration on the way that our policies Have ruined these countries the drug war, you know, these trade policies They haven't worked out especially when it comes to nafta in mexico not not so much You know honduras and guatemala, but these countries have been ravaged due to our war on drugs by bringing up a marshal plan That's a great idea that I hope bernie steels great great idea from him um One thing that booker said that was really poignant He said they don't leave their human rights at the border when they come here That was a great line when it comes to iran Predictably tulsi gabard.  She demonstrated Why we need to stop escalating why we need to deescalate when it comes to the issue of guns warren's answer It didn't impress me. I expected more tim ryan He did kind of take a more republican oriented approach by talking about the need for mental health And I think this is important Because you're kind of arguing on republicans terms. You're saying look if you say mental health is the issue I'm willing to address that let's talk about it. So then let's help solve this crisis by Adding that so I think that was good that he brought that up Because you're kind of reaching across the aisle in a way where you're not sacrificing your principles When it comes to the question of what do we do about mitch McConnell? None of them satisfied me here. None of them were strong enough. None of them You need to come out so strong against mitch mcconnell because any sign of weakness will be exploited by mitch mcconnell It will be exploited by republicans So if you're not going to come out strong against mitch mcconnell And how to fight him if you don't have a detailed plan as to how you're going to fight him I'm just not going to be impressed by that because he's a very effective leader. We may not like him We may vociferously disagree with everything he stands for but you can't deny That he is one of the most effective leaders In recent history when it comes to the issue of climate change Jay inslee was predictably strong here But I don't like the right wing framing like chuck todd asked the question About climate change to better award and he framed it in the way of you know, what do you say to people who are worried about big government? chuck That's not the question that we should be asking when we're talking climate change We're talking about an existential threat to humanity. I don't care about the size of government whatever Tackles climate change big government small government. It's big government spoiler alert But whatever is going to get the job done is what we should be in favor for so that's just The framing is so off and chuck todd did this on numerous occasions another question that was framed odd was On this issue of gun confiscation like he implied that a gun buyback program was confiscation But thankfully Amy Klobuchar actually called him out for this or she didn't call him out But she corrected the record and she said no, you know a gun buyback program is not tantamount to confiscation That's that's not correct. Now another thing I wanted to talk about was lgbtq rights Tulsi gabbard was asked about lgbtq rights and I thought that she gave a thoughtful answer Cory Booker then jumped in and he kind of one upped her because he really demonstrated knowledge Concrete knowledge of these issues that are affecting the lgbtq community. He talked about lgbtq youth in schools He talked about violence against Trans women of color really important and Tulsi gabbard was going to respond and I was looking forward to her response They cut her off They cut her off So tim ryan got the opportunity to respond to Tulsi gabbard when she challenged him Later in the debate, but here when Cory Booker didn't necessarily challenge Tulsi But he tried to one up her and outshine her. She didn't get the chance to respond That frustrated me as an lgbtq american. I wanted to hear what she had to say I wanted to hear what she had to say So that frustrated me. That was a moment that um, it showed how shitty the moderation got once less their hold at Samantha Guthrie left because chuck Todd Is just an embarrassment.  He said that he believes let me get my notes He says I support Pelosi She knows more about this subject when it comes to impeachment than all of the 2020 candidates combined John How weak are you and simultaneously as he said that his team put out a tweet that said Nobody should be above the law including the president of the united states Except if you don't support impeachment when the president has committed crimes Then you literally do believe Functionally speaking that the president is above the law because he just committed crimes So if you don't think he should be impeached then you think he's above the law That's what your position effectively ends up being So John Delaney, I mean, this is one of many reasons as to why I think he just completely embarrassed himself here So overall, I thought that this was an incredibly entertaining debate But here's what I think going forward will happen if John Delaney and um, Beto O'Rourke don't really start to have some forward movement I just don't know how their campaigns can be sustained Especially John Delaney if you look at his twitter feed at least if we're gauging anything based on that Or gauging how well he's doing based on that. He has like Zero support. There's no momentum if you look at the images He's posting from meetings that he's having with people in Iowa Four or five people attend it So I don't even know how he has the funding to keep going and this debate didn't help him at all Same with Beto O'Rourke I just He didn't do good here He needed to pull out a victory in some way and maybe not win But certainly stand out and he didn't and you know, Julien Castro, Bill de Blasio, they certainly didn't help One thing I will say about Elizabeth Warren Even if all of her answers were Very thoughtful and everything she said basically was excellent I'll give her the same advice that I'm giving to Tulsi Gabbard I think you should go out of your way to kind of insert yourself Into the conversations more frequently now Certainly Tulsi Gabbard should do this more than Elizabeth Warren because Elizabeth Warren She just has to not fail since she's currently leading out of all of those candidates With Tulsi, this is more important because we need her to get a boost in the poll So that's what you want to do if you want to get your name out there more and get the message across I would have liked to see that more from Warren at least in the second half when she started to kind of fade into the Background so long as she keeps a constant presence. I think you know, she's great But with that being said when it's all said and done, um, this was entertaining and I think The, uh, you know the policies that were talked about were mostly substantive I don't like the framing by Chuck Todd. I don't like some of the questions asked You know, who's the biggest geopolitical threat to the united states that implies that anyone is a threat to us When we are the biggest military in the history of humankind So those issues aside, I think it went well. It was entertaining and this really Is exciting to watch. I look forward to seeing tomorrow's debate
