I mean, it's actually stunning when you look around. I mean, China has had major flooding in the Guangzhou area, you know, Hong Kong, Disneyland, God Hamlet.  And then it's the same thing in several places around the world. It's all happened simultaneously. And then you look at the Sunday news shows and it's all garbage, you know? It's all Trump and all that, I mean, just know you would think that they would put the cameras on these events, right? And say, look, there is something happening here to alert the public. But no, we just, we don't want to do that. Yeah. And have the same politicians on and say, hey, don't you think we should be doing something about this? Just a little simple question. Yeah. Well, it's like the political shows are this dance. They have a role-worn path that they kind of stay in. And it's, you know, the elections or horse races. And look at what this politician did. And they're being gamed and played all the time by people who come and be guests on the show and everybody else. And they're afraid or can't imagine breaking out of the mold and doing something different. It's very weird. Well said, elections or horse racing and wars are sporting events. Right. Commentary is like a sporting event. Yeah. Go ahead. Sorry, Koss. Well, anyway, I did advance our new book and inserted the pieces that we had discussed. Maybe we'll just dig into it. And here is, hold on, let me just make this a little bit bigger. Mm-hmm. But is this big enough? Yeah. OK. So we had talked about, sorry, this is, you know, so yeah, we had talked about inserting the spiral dynamics conversation. So we had this page here and then we said, so what is spiral dynamics to get a better, to get an understanding of what are we talking about? And I inserted a version of this Don Beck and Christopher Cohen letter here, which I think is the most succinct summary that I could find. Are you copy pasting it or what did you do? I copy pasted it and then edited it, yeah. OK. Which if we're writing a book, we may not have sort of, if it were a complete summary or a rewrite of it, it would probably make sense. This just pasting and doing some editing might actually not pass muster for a book. I don't know fully what the requirements are for original content. Despite my saying let's reuse everything, I mostly mean let's reuse stuff that we write. Yeah, I know I get this. And there are multiple versions on the net. I just thought this, I mean, I can, I mean, there's some copyright issues obviously, but for now I can, I wanted to put this in because it's just so down succinct and also shorten it. But the important part here, each VMIM leads to certain beliefs, social groupings, motivation patterns, organizational dynamics and goals. Now if we try to impose solutions or structures that are too far ahead of the curve to resolve this alienation and rebellion rather than transformation. So it's just a very practical, intuitive way of interacting with people who are in different modes of reality or different understanding of reality. The intuitive better or higher modes of being without respecting the stages of change and development that must happen before large numbers of people in an organization or society can enact such a mode. Back and forth, the use of the term better or higher, sticking with more complex VMIMs. There's hierarchy involved, but it's more factual than evaluative. And then he goes into the eight dominant v-themes listed below. And he adds a number of people or a share of population and political power. So you have beige and purple, which in the US is 0.1% of population is basically homeless people and basic survival instincts. And then purple is 10% of world population, but 1% of power. And then we started really looking at red, which is 20% of world population, but only 5% of power. And then so you come in blue. And so it is laying in examples of how would you identify people within that group? Blue is authoritarian, loyal to truth, which is defined by social grouping. Blue is now strong. 40% of world population, 30% of power. They say Billy Graham, pure American, Confucian China, Confucius China Islamism. And then orange is the dominant today entrepreneurial, personal success orientation. Only 30% of the population, but they're 50% of power. So that would be where you find Obama and Clinton, for example, is in the orange spectrum. And then there is the queen, communitarian, sensitive, humanistic, Jimmy Carter, John Lennon, Greenpeace, Sierra Club, Dr. Vizard Borders. And then yellow, systemic, first BMEM of the second tier. There is a quantum shift in the capacity to take multiple perspectives. Yellow is motivated by learning for its own sake, oriented towards the integration of complex systems. So yellow likes challenges and change and engineering complex systems dealing with ideas. And then there's two across, which is the aspirational part. So anyway, it's a bit much to get to go through there right now in fast forward here. But it's interesting how they have, how this spiral dynamic system is looking at consciousness. It says higher levels emerge like waves at a beach, swelling from insignificance, peaking and dissolving again. Each wave is a bit higher, more complex than the last. But this is not inevitable. Changing life conditions must generate sufficient problems for the predominant workflow of you to be motivated to change. A corporation, for example, might cling to the bedrock of blue while the information economy forces entirely new ways of doing business. So there is this, I think that's the uniqueness about our time is that we are dealing with so many, so many of these groups all there at the same time. Because so many people have more education and more access to information. So you have more groupings that are active at the same time. Okay, so that's a lot of stuff. But anyway, then they go into examples of how we are shifting to a new world view. It's really worthwhile reading, but it's too much to fly through there right now. So I put this in here and it talks about spiral visits. Spiral visitary things in term of open think in terms of open evolving systems rather than closed final states. So none of these states is in any sense final, they're fluid and people change. People go from one state to another depending on life circumstances. For example, you may have a yellow going into war turning into a red, right? Because it's survival and then. So they respond to natural flows and rhythms and show a chaos, but since they are tuned to the health of the old spiral, they do not threaten or jeopardize the old. And I think that's really one of our critical challenges when you talk with people who are in different frames of reference, to not frustrate someone or make people feel so uncomfortable by hearing things they're not familiar with. So spiral visit creates organizational structures and motivational systems that are appropriate for the individuals involved in the work. They might create public change rituals to honor purple, competitive sports, to honor red, bonus and financial perks for orange, celebrations of comedy, loyalty to blue. So this is all really basic generalities, right? But I think they do seem to make sense. They call the process, they call the process of doing so streaming, meaning shifting or dealing with multiple colors which involve secondary intelligence, creating systems that harness and honor the best skills of each remem. Potential problem with many developmental schemes is that people feel like they've been located at a certain stage of the development spectrum. Their egos are activated in a very negative way by this. So they can go into the same thing, but in much gentler ways by saying that a particular remem is activated in someone. The extra wedge between person and remem is key move to letting these ideas sink in. So actually it's important to discuss what is a remem and because V stands for value structure and then the meme of course is the interpretation of my world and there's this biblical mind picture where the tom is like the rudder on a ship. And so the V is like the rudder on a ship where it steers into the direction. So the value system that we embrace really is the defining tool or that defines how we perceive, how we absorb information, categorize it and use it. So how it fits into that value structure and that's actually unifying force is that V across all the colors because if we have the same, and this is where morality and ethics comes in, if we have the same understanding of what this value system is and should be like, then we can coordinate across the entire spectrum. So anyway, I inserted this letter here and I don't know what the copyright issues are and how that would work. Jerry, you have to let me know. But I mean, I can rewrite it and insert all of this in shorter forms still. And then so you said, so I don't know what to slip through this here and fast forward is a challenge. But then we, here's where we were last time. Can we pause for a minute and actually talk about what you just put up. And I've got a few questions. So one, is there a place in the text before this article where you talk about why we're using spiral dynamics as an analytical model? You don't have to show it to me. I just think it's important to create that context. Yeah, no, I think that's the introduction here. So it's not as specific as your question right now, but I mean, it's not like it's a paragraph that says that. But the introduction here is really talking about how we are as a group, living within different types of realities that are based on our cognitive perception of the world around us and the value structures and so on. Okay. This is a generic introduction to spiral dynamics. It doesn't say why this is a useful model for the book you're writing. Is the question Stuart's asking, I think. Yeah. That's exactly, yeah. And because I think it's important for a reader to know that, okay? We're looking at this because different segments of the population see this whole field in different ways, depending upon where they are on the evolutionary scale. Whatever that means. Yeah. So I just think that's important. Number two, as the copyright, okay? My thoughts are, it's often easier to have get forgiveness than permission, okay? And as long as you provide attribution, all right? My thinking is, why would anybody kind of feel badly that you use their work to explain something and you've provided attribution, all right? And I understand there might be a, quote, technical violation of copyright law, but as a very practical matter, you're providing attribution, you're using somebody's work and thesis, even though, quote, it's not in the commons, or you can run down the whole permission structure to use the article and get someone's permission. So a couple of things. This summary appears to have been written by Steve Dynan from SLN in 1999. And at the bottom of the page, it says copyright 1999, National Value Center. So it appears to be a traditionally copy written piece, which, and anytime you copy and paste somebody else's full text into a manuscript you are writing, I get, this may sound strange to you because I'm all about open stuff, I get extremely nervous. I do not like it. It makes me, so the thing I'm thinking is, this is a great summary. I would point to it in the text as a reference and I would give a link to the full document and let people go read it if they want to. I would definitely not include it in the text here. And I would create, and even using chat GPT to say, hey, help me some, using this document as inspiration, create new words that explain how some of these things work, that would, I would be fine with that because we're giving chat GPT co-credit as an author, as a co-author of this book, which is great. But I'm very leery of including this in full text, even if you've made some changes to it. This is somebody else's complete idea. You could also try to find Steve Dynan and say, hey, would it be okay if I included this in a Neo book and explained the process? And if Steve says thumbs up and gives approval, your goal, then you're good. But I would not just drop this in. This is, there are all sorts of plagiarism cases out there where reputable and interesting writers got taken to the woodshed because they were taking notes and they were just copy-pasting notes into their manuscript and they forgot to completely change some section and then their host. And so I wanna kind of honor that aspect of book writing in some sense. Does that make sense? Yeah, that's the permission piece that I was talking about, class, which is the highest level of use, I think. Getting permission from the original author. And as a reference to, hey, read up on Spiral Dynamics by going here, works just fine in the text. And then you can include a very short summary and that lets you focus on why is Spiral Dynamics useful here, which is a piece that actually needs to be in the manuscript, as Stuart said. And I was thinking that it probably needs to be in the introduction of this Neo book and then it probably needs to be in somewhat more detail as you flow into Spiral Dynamics, after the setup, all the earlier stuff that we were talking about. Yeah. We're starting right here with the Spiral Dynamics. What runs just before the Spiral Wizard? Yeah, regenerative practices, all that. So skills required for innovations. Brokerage, awesome. So you're gonna have a section on innovation brokerage. Love that. So right after the section on innovation brokerage, which wraps that section, I would have an introduction for, hey, in the context of this book, why does Spiral Dynamics make sense as a solution framework? Yeah. That's just missing right now. Yeah, so I can put this in by ever using Spiral Dynamics. Yes, I would not put it in the middle of the text that I'm not happy about using here as all. No, no, I can completely take that out. I would just put the why are we using Spiral Dynamics just before the title of the summary of Spiral Dynamics so that you know that everything you write here is new and clear and different. Yeah, I would just move it above. That's that's all. And absent permission, that summary is just a link. Yeah. Yeah, so now like a section that explains this would be terrific because then you're gluing the whole first half of the book to the second half of the book is my perception because I think that you're using Spiral Dynamics as the operational model for getting out there and changing discourse with different constituencies and all that, terrific. And that's gonna work really well. Yeah, and Jerry said something that's important, I think for punctuation. At the very beginning of the article, the introduction slash summary of some kind where you're luring people in to say that we use Spiral, we're using Spiral Dynamics as an analytical model because whatever the because is. So the introduction to the whole, this whole book needs to show the flow between the opening sections and Spiral Dynamics. But then right here, the section that you're writing that you're sort of starting right now is then that idea in more detail. So let me see, I need to put this away so I can get. Yeah, is there an intro right now? So there is the story of soil. And this is chat GPT 3.5. And so it goes really into the dawn of Homo sapiens and industrial agriculture, the age of regeneration. So food revolved, why we need to revolve. And bio regions, not as whole concept of bio regions, culture and traditions, the impact of industrial agriculture then comes the regenerative movement, the past will regenerative future, the role of large scale multinational companies, the role of innovations procreation and supporting a community-based regenerative transition, the skills required for innovations procreate and then comes the spiral visit. So now we're going into interacting with what do we need to do within our human organization to make these changes actually happen. Then we can say, so here, why are we using spiral dynamics as an analytical model and what is it? Good, so I think, go ahead, Stuart. No, I was gonna say, Klaus, could you answer that question right now? Just say it out loud, why are you using spiral dynamics? So they have made attempts to create segmentations strategies that help us understand how to communicate more effectively with people without making them defensive, without running into beliefs and barriers. And there's a whole lot of that out there, but I find that in the political spectrum and in the social system spectrum spiral dynamics is the most effective way of creating these distinctions. And using these colors, but I mean, you could call it one, two, three, whatever, but just for illustration purposes using these colors shows a segmentation that just rings good on a common sense level. You just intuitively accept that people live in these types of worlds and realities and you can assign segments of the population to specific colors. And that in turn truly helps to understand that each one of these coupings is really speaking a unique language. And if you want to reach them, then you have to adapt their vocabulary and their symbolism and the examples they're using for sense-making. Okay, so just to summarize, okay? In some sense, you're writing an advocacy piece as to why it's so important that we pay attention to regenerative agriculture at this moment in time. And what that involves is convincing broader levels of the population how important it is. And when people are being advocates in that way, they need to be aware of who their audience is, who they're talking to to be effective. And I assume that in some ways that's based upon, your own experience knocking your head up against the walls with people who weren't hearing what you had to say because you weren't realizing who exactly they were and what their level of awareness was or something like that. Okay. And it's like, it's one thing to know and understand that it's a completely different thing to practice it because you're stumbling across your own emotional spectrum. I think it's an underlying assumption. One, I think one of the underlying assumptions behind why spiral dynamics is a good idea here is that one message or one story won't bring everybody on board for the size or scale of change we need. And so we need to adapt the story and the logics for different groups. And hey, here's a really interesting model that says you need to talk differently to people who think this way, this way, this way, this way, and then here we go. And then you're off and running and then you ask chat to generate specifics for each of those. And that's the end of your book. And then you do a little conclusion that says whatever. Like that makes a lot of sense to me. We are missing an introduction to the book. There's no introduction here and we need to generate something that encapsulates the whole book in five paragraphs. The whole book, meaning here's why we're gonna go. And because you start with the beginning of the dawn of homo-safiens, that's actually the beginning of the book, of the writing of the book. And that's not a summary of what the book is going to be about. So an introduction upfront needs to say as briskly and quickly and convincingly and alluringly as possible, here's the problem. And here's how we're gonna go about addressing it and resolving it. Yeah, and soil is the cradle of life is the start of your book. Like I think the introduction is more something about we are busy destroying our planet or however you want to sort of say that things are not that great and they're fixed but they're fixable. And here, this book contains some of the pieces of how to fix it, including some of the details of how to convince people to use the tools that are already available to fix this. Something like that. Stuart, you've written lots of books. I'm a book virgin still. So. Yeah, I mean, to me, one of the most important and critical things is providing good context in an introduction before you get into the weeds so that people's brain is organized and they have a big bucket in which to put all of these wonderful details that you're aware of. So in this context, that's essential for two things. One, the facts about regenerative farming and two, the whole use of spiral dynamics as an analytical model for being more effective advocate. Boss, is that making sense? Yeah. I'm just trying to translate that into sort of a headline. Yeah. Part of that in some ways comes from, believe it or not, aside from the writing experience. Do you remember Teach, you remember Evelyn Wood reading dynamics? Mm-hmm. Okay. It was a methodology class it was called reading dynamics or speed reading, but it really was a way to process large amounts of information in a very methodical way. And one of the critical principles was as you're reading to give your brain the context in which you're dumping facts in, you know, individual pieces of information. Okay? Mm-hmm. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I can put an introduction ahead of this thing here. Okay. The other thing about being an effective advocate, and I think we talked about this in the OGM call, when you want to persuade so a good story or poem, something that's emotional that grabs people aside from the logic of everything that you say, which I assume is in the detail of all the material that it's logic, but some kind of a story to grab people's hearts because people are moved to action by emotion. So I did, hold on. So I did end something like here where I asked chat GPT, given current trend lines, how humanity is evolving and impacting nature, what are the impacts in both the biosphere and the social systems? Where are these impacts trending? What is the five to 10 year outlook if humanity does not change course? Mm-hmm. And then it goes, the current trajectory of human impact on the environment is creating a ripple effect of consequences affecting both the biosphere and social systems. If not mitigated within the next five to 10 years, these impacts could lead to irreversible damage and create an array of challenges for human civilization. So in the biosphere, we deal with soil degradation, water pollution and scarcity by the biosphere. Yeah, okay. So that's good. But I think that also needs that you need to validate the use of chat GPT as a good source of information in this area. Well, I think that this summary I think the summary is very reasonable and it could be like in an intro. It seems okay. You might also just say, hey, you may be tired by now of hearing how much the earth is suffering and how much human life on the planet is endangered. I share your exhaustion or your pain or whatever. This book is about trying to fix that. And that's it. And not to enumerate or summarize all the different ways that shit's breaking, which that was a very nice, the piece you just showed us is a nice summary. Like the biosphere is breaking these ways, social systems breaking these ways. Human life is endangered. I get that. But in some sense, I'd love for you to say this book is full of positive things we could do to fix those problems and get right straight into that. And in order for you to understand in order for you, the reader to sort of understand, we need to frame this in a couple of ways. First, we need to frame historically what a human's done. Second, we need to think about frameworks and I'm making this up. Why bioregions matter? Why regeneration matters? And then a couple of implementation issues, which then culminate with, how do you explain this body of stuff to everybody? And we're gonna use spiral dynamics as a framework for varying the same explanation, but for different kinds of audiences who are coming at this in very different spirits and values and ways. Something like that. But it's maybe more like an abstract. Yes, yes. Yes, and the abstract needs to be enticing because the introduction is what people turn to to decide do I wanna read this thing or not. Yeah.  And by the way, we're keeping a transcript of this call. So if you want to scroll back and take a piece of what I just said and feed it to chatGPT and elaborate that, that would work. That would work as well. So I'm jumping around. Let me just get back to where we left off last time. So we did, engaging the general public and what different colors are doing with this thing. And then we talked about let's go and ask a very specific question and we talked about just using red, blue and orange to do that. But when I started to get into it, you realized that I really had to do each color. How come? Because they are so uniquely different and specific. But if part of the theory says that very few people live in Beige right now, why do you need to do Beige? Because you still have a few million homeless people living in the streets of America. And so what are you gonna do with them? And so I was doing red and then when I was doing red, I realized that that's just too specific to just focus on those three. So why not just do the whole range? So partly I think to do, I think there's an 80-20 rule that's possible here. I'm arguing for narrowing down and not doing all the colors, not because I know that that's gonna be the best way just to make that argument so that we can think it through. And so if red, blue, orange deal, I would basically address 70% of American citizens, that's good enough for me and you don't need to get to every segment because the more colors you layer in, the more distracting, the more time it's gonna take, the more differences, the more it distributes your effort. What's the word? Yeah, dilutes, thank you. The more it dilutes your effort in your message. So if you could only pick three colors to focus on, I think you've got the right ones in attention. And I think there's a price to pay for every other color you add back into the mix, even though you say up front, hey, here are all the colors of the model. Here's how the colors are different. Go read this essay. If you wanna understand the whole model, we're going to pick a subset of them because that's where the real energy could, that's where the real change energy could lie. I would really like for you to read this. So first, before we come to that conclusion, that's because I found valid reasons to be inclusive here. Gotcha.  You need to feed the entire population and there were some really startling observations because the individual colors are like so different. I think that will jump out. Cool. So I said, write an 800 words essay about what the world looks like to an individual living in the V-MEM zone of color. So during the information this group has access to and knows the process, what are they thinking? Who are their thought leaders operating at a higher level of consciousness and what are the motivations of these thought leaders for engaging with V-MEM color? What is the most recent state of cognitive dissonance caused by the divergence of talking about climate change versus observing it in real life? And so, and then also I'm going through multiple iterations of asking the question and I asked this down or change this and so on. So when you look here for an individual living in beige V-MEM, the world is a simple immediate place. Life revolves around the basics. Food, water, shelter, safety. The present moment is all that matters. Bage consciousness is driven by instinct and focused on survival. Complexity is not just ignored, it's not even perceived. Climate change, geopolitics, social justice issues are generally beyond the realm of immediate concern unless that directly affect the survival. Information processing is rudimentary and visceral. The senses and immediate physical needs dominate their perception. If it's not edible, if it can't be used for shelter or if it doesn't pose an immediate threat, it's probably irrelevant. Such a few could be seen in certain segments of the homeless population, in communities devastated by natural disasters or in extreme poverty stricken areas where survival trumps all other concerns. As for thought leaders, the beige V-MEM does not look up to thought leaders in the conventional sense. Leadership in these environments is usually based on direct utility. Can this person find food, protect the group or build shelter? The motivations for these operating at higher levels of consciousness when engaging with space are often altruistic or derived from a sense of shared humanity. People operating in higher V-MEMs like green or yellow might seek to provide immediate aid, not because they expect beige individuals to move up in their thinking but to ensure their basic needs are met. So these higher consciousness individuals might find engaging with beige challenging, particularly if their motivations are grounded in more complex ethical or systemic frameworks. How do you explain the nuances of climate change to someone whose immediate concern is where the next meal is coming from? So that's sort of regarding cognitive dissonance and climate change. The concept may not even apply to beige. Cognitive dissonance requires a certain level of mental complexity and the ability to hold conflicting ideas. So what I'm hearing from this description which is a useful and interesting description is that there's little sense right now in trying to address beige with these abstract issues. Very little sense. That's correct, but at the same time in order to find any solutions, you have individuals here that are just helpless basically and you need to stabilize the environment so you need to really think through how can that work? Well, they would be major important clients of a set of solutions in the system.  So I think that beige is not an audience you want to address. Beige is a client that everybody else wants to serve. And may not be aware of having to serve. You know, everybody's aware of climate refugees and people and refugee camps and homelessness. Like there's lots and lots, there's so many of those people around and there's so many efforts to try to patch those problems that I think that there's a general broad awareness. I don't know. So I think that most of the description you just read basically says these people are not thinking that like anybody who's a thought leader is not gonna be engaging with them. Anybody who's got any abstractions is not, that's not gonna work. I got a lot of like, hey, these people need like immediate succor and help. And if you can get that to them, great. But that's not the thesis of the thesis of the book, I think is how do we change the system so that the system can better generate the things that beige people need. But the beige people aren't, I don't think in your immediate first degree audience of interest. Yeah, no, I mean, I do see that different because when you live in San Francisco and you stumble over homeless people everywhere you go, you are desperately wanting to find a solution for this. And so what does that look like? Exactly, and that spirals into a whole bunch of issues including addiction and a bunch of other things. I mean, a lot of these people are PhDs who got unemployed or had a divorce or had a medical episode that made them bankrupt. So they ended up on the street and then they ended up addicted and they can't find their way out. But I don't think this book is going to help address those problems. No, I don't think it's meant to. No, because you can't, you can't touch everything. You can't solve every problem, yeah. In one book or paper. Exactly, so it feels like that's kind of out of scope, Klaus, and I'm trying to figure out how to trim things that aren't like laser focused so that this book doesn't get too big. It's not too big yet, it's not that big yet. But how do you make this like a laser focused book that just goes from this and plus this, plus this equals solution set. And then here's how we communicate solution set to people who are very different from each other. And that logically makes a whole bunch of sense to me. Yeah, so if I look at myself as a designer, right, as a systems designer, you couldn't design a food system without incorporating these colors into it. It just doesn't work. You have to make provisions that find, you just have to be aware of it. I mean, this is just meant to be raising the awareness that you may have to build kippets, intentional communities. You may have to find some solutions to provide food and shelter to these groups. And guess what they are? This is how they work and this is how you have to interact with them. So if you, so I'm writing the book from a yellow perspective. Now, so if you are in yellow and you want to stabilize the spiral to change its footprint, its relationship with the natural world, you can't omit beige because it's a crucial factor in there. So it has to be upfront, right? And immediate in your design decisions to build something coherent. So anyway, if we go to red here, living in the zone of red, the world seems like a stark battleground for power and survival. That people operating in this zone are not primarily concerned with global issues like climate change, but they are instead focused on immediate needs and gratifications. They see the world through a lens that places them at the center where emotions run high and impulses dictate action. Relationships are transactional. So given the immediate nature of their concerns, food, security, respect, red individuals are less likely to tune into the mainstream media for complex geopolitical or scientific analysis. Their information often comes from localized sources, community leaders, strong parental figures, influential peers who operate on similar wavelengths, but may possess a slightly higher level of consciousness. The more enlightened among these leaders, perhaps operating in the blue or even orange memes, may employ red language and perspectives to enact change or maintain order. Why would such thought leaders engage with red individuals, the motivations can vary? Are there sense of duty or moral obligation using religion or law to instill a semblance of orders? Thought leaders in the orange meme may see potential for mobilizing red individuals for mutual gain. Concept of cognitive dissonance, particularly regarding climate change doesn't often infiltrate the red world few deeply because the abstract and future oriented nature of climate issues doesn't resonate with the immediate concerns. However, when observable phenomena like extreme weather events directly impact the environment and safety, a form of cognitive dissonance can occur. So for example, water is a much better metaphor for communicating with red about environmental issues than there would be this abstract notion of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. And then conversations in blue, people at this stage have moved beyond the impulsiveness and power struggles that dominated the red meme. Blue mind places faced in the establishment and often looks to authority figures for guidance and validation. So there, when it comes to issues of climate change, cognitive dissonance for those in the blue meme can be significant. On one hand, they're receiving information from trusted sources like the Pope speaking on the need for environmental stewardship that prompts them to consider the issue seriously. On the other hand, the effects of climate change might directly contradict their longstanding beliefs in a just world governed by a higher power or reliable institution. For now, so such dissonance can be catalyst for deeper questioning or compartmentalization. So it's just again, a completely different language here. In summary, to an individual operating in the blue meme, the world is a structured predictable space defined by traditions and moral codes. They look to have these. Red, blue and orange are the three that you said originally were the most relevant, right? So we're in red and we're heading, we're in blue. It's blue now, yeah. Red heading to blue, yeah. And all of these need to be summarized plus, they need to be summarized and succinct, I think in the text.  No, no, no, no, no, no. Each of the different colors, okay? And their attributes. Yeah, there should be an introduction to the spiral dynamics model, which is the picture up above. Yeah. The spiral wizard. So where the spiral wizard lives, that's an intro to the model. So, for example, you'll have that. Yeah. It's like, like clue, authoritarian, loyal to truce, which is defined by social grouping, The perfect world, patriotic, leads people to obey authority, feel guilty when not conforming to group norms. So here you have that and then you have examples. Organizational structures, pyramidal, Boy and Girl Scouts, Billy Graham, Puritan American, Confucian China, Islamic fundamentalism, 40% of the world. So there is that part. So down here is then the translation of how does this play now and the particular question that I was asking is what are they experiencing in terms of cognitive dissonance? What kind of information sources do they have access to who are their thought leaders and what is the motivation of their thought leaders? And the piece, I don't know if you've done this yet, but the piece that I thought you could get to in this book is, and you could ask ChatGPT to generate these, write a message directed to red, blue, orange, whoever in their language. Here's what a such a message could look like. And then there's actually text that's addressed to that kind of person. Right. Yeah. So that's what I started thinking about this when I got into conversation and hold on when I got into visions of the future. And so I don't want to jump over the place here. So that's where I was thinking, but let me come to that in just a second. I think orange is interesting because orange is the most power. Orange is holding like 40, 50% of all power. That's where hedge funds are, bankers, corporate leaders. So for individuals resonating within the orange meme, the world is a landscape of opportunities waiting to be explored and exploited. This paradigm processes strategic achievement oriented outlook where the goals are personal success, autonomy, and material prosperity. The information sources are everywhere. So thought leaders that attract orange individuals often operate from green, yellow, or even to across V memes because these are, this is the group that gets stuff done.  Motivation for higher V memes leaders to engage with orange is often about systemic transformation. So basically, if we want to find people to really move stuff, then it would be with an orange. Recognizing the recognizing orange is considerable influence in layoffs like business, politics, and innovation. These leaders aim to steer this creative, but sometimes self-centered energy toward more holistic, sustainable outcomes. This isn't necessarily altruistic guiding orange towards more complex modes of thought. It's often seen as a necessary step for tackling global challenges like poverty, social inequality, and climate change. Speaking of climate change, this is a domain where orange experiences significant cognitive dissonance. On the one hand, the irrefutable scientific data and emerging market trends are around sustainability and green technology are hard to ignore. On the other hand, the immediate financial gains from exploiting natural resources, for example, present a compelling incentive that crashes with long-term sustainable thinking. This dissonance has become especially poignant in recent times. So in orange we may have viewed the world as a competitive arena full of opportunities for personal success and advancement. So then I get into green and yellow. Yellow is of course individuals consume a wide range of information. So for those in the yellow V-MEM cognitive dissonance and around climate change arises not so much from the gap between knowledge and reality. They're usually keenly aware of the ecological situation. Their dissonance lies more in the gap between what they know is possible, a more harmonious, sustainable way of living, and the inertia of existing societal systems, particularly those stuck in the orange and blue V-MEMs. Klaus, who's the audience for the book? So I would say yellow. Because I think there's a great deal of yellow people living in a yellow frame of reference who don't have the technical information and details of this. But these are also the groups that have the capacity to develop communication structures and engagement ideas to engage with the spiral. But then you have to know the differences between when you're talking with an orange, what motivates an orange versus a blue or a red. But I'm also beige. You just have to be conscious of different frames of reference. This is particularly true when you're dealing with food. Because it's the base of the pyramid of needs. Yeah. I mean, what's interesting to me and it keeps popping up in my mind is my own personal experience. And I think this is a great story. With all my analytical ability in identifying 30 plus areas of shift that's wrong in the world, what's the foundational thing that I missed? Food.   Even somebody who is, quote, so ostensibly aware of phenomenon that's going on, I completely missed it.  Not because I need to be included in the book, but I think that's a useful story in terms of engaging people because it's just so transparent. And it's so foundational. Yeah. Yeah. And I think what I sort of see between the lines here is that you can get, you can't move people by more than what they're arguing, but they're more like half aligned. I mean, you can't move an orange into yellow, but you can move an orange to think in yellow. So they have this, like there is orange is in big letters and then yellow would be in small letters. So there is an abstraction that is possible for folks in different environments to reach forward. And so yellow has just the basic idea of living in harmony with people who are in different places than you are. I mean, that's a yellow way of thinking. No. And so what does it take to achieve that? And so yellow and is it turquoise now or is it teal? Because I always thought it was teal at the top. Turquoise. Yeah. All right. Yeah. So here's turquoise. The world is perceived as a holistic interconnected web where systems within systems coexist, giving rise to a bigger picture that transcends individual components. The focus is not merely on the complexity of systems, but on the harmonious integration of systems. The world is a plant of spiritual essence and empirical reality. Everything is connected and every action ripples through the universe. Turquoise thinkers consume a vast array of information from quantum physics to mystical texts to comprehend the universe's true essence. Thought leaders who resonate with those that turquoise V-mem often have to pin down as their work transcends conventional categories. So he's mentioned like Ken Wilber comes to mind. Spiritual leaders who talk about consciousness and interconnectedness and empirically grounded terms. Their motivation for engaging with red or any other V-mem for that matter is often altruistic and guided by a sense of responsibility to elevate the collective consciousness. In red they see the raw energy and the will to power, which if guided could be transformed into a force for positive change. So the cognitive dissonance for someone in turquoise is concerning climate change is both profound and paradoxically subtle. It's profound because they can perceive the deep-gooded interconnectedness that others might miss. They don't just see deforestation as the loss of trees but as a spiritual and existential wound that impacts the collective soul of the planet. The dissonance is also subtle because they possess an innate ability to hold multiple perspectives simultaneously without judgment. This means while they're acutely aware of the lack of action they also understand the systemic and spiritual inertia that keeps things from changing quickly. Cool and so each of these I like the analysis from ChatGPT of each of these colors applied to this the problem at hand and the piece that I would love to see as a cap for each of the colors that you want to address and again I'm going to say I don't know that you need to address all the colors although maybe that's just the form of the book and that'd be fine is what would a message look like that would work for that audience? So the transition from colors to yellow you know it's over where I'll be hold on let me get back to this thing here sorry I don't mean to make you dizzy but here is the shift to second tier thinking and I think the conclusion we should attempt to create perspectives from within the second tier right because the idea here now is how do you develop a communication strategy that is sufficiently differentiated to address unique colors and you have to look at this out of the yellow tier even to across here. And I don't know that we know what a second tier means here it's not the colors that second tier is some different it's a different segmentation of the spiral levels. Yeah let me let me go to the let me go to this here orange green yellow this is the first V mem of the second tier in which there is a quantum shift in the capacity to take multiple perspectives in life yellow is motivated by learning for its own sake and is oriented towards integration of complex systems changes a welcome part of the process yellow likes the challenge yellow likes engineering complex systems dealing with ideas it's also ecologically oriented yellow thinkers often work on the periphery of organizations quietly fine-tuning situations and procedures much to the bathroom end of the first tier V mems Hawkins brief history of time chaos theory eco-industrial parks riot magazine that sort of thing so and then to across of course it is jumping into a spiritual aspect of of systems thinking I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm feeling challenged in the sense that I'm I'm concerned that people are going to get lost in the spiral dynamics model as opposed to the real message of the book about regenerative agriculture I'm just concerned and just it's just something to think about as a as an author as a you know as a writer and I have to also admit that I have a a negative bias towards all systems that explain human behavior and categorize them it's just my own because I think we're just too complex and and so when I see someone who hears the way you know humans are I get a little you know it it's bothersome to me all right it doesn't it doesn't go in so readily that you know that's a personal predilection of mine I share some of your discomfort Stuart and I think the goal here from like a high level perspective is that this book will appeal to people who are who understand and are into spiral dynamics and would like to see it applied to world problems and that that that's kind of a big that is a big piece of the audience for this book because we're going to apply spiral dynamics as a as a solution framework to these issues so that kind of dictates where we are the reason I keep bringing up I would love to see what chapiti GPT would actually write in copy for each of those groups is that is that you just voiced why that's important to me Stuart which is I think that will tie back all the stuff about the innovation brokers and taking care of the land and regenerative principles and all of that I think those get folded right back into the the the copy that goes to each of the different colors that you want to address and it makes a nice bow at the end of the document to say okay we made a big we made a big detour to explain spiral dynamics unpack spiral dynamics around these issues for you know each of the colors but then here's how you apply it here's you know here's it's almost like here's next step start a starter start communication strategies from these blocks of content so we did start this year where hold on food as a cultural element and then so we did go into sorry mm-hmm this is ringing your bell yes you know energy efficiency and so on so food as a cultural element the relationship between food and culture you know so how does that how do you know society civilizations adjust there's this top down bottom up you know mixed uh thing there and then it's communicating insights and the course of actions throughout the spiral so we had this here the interplay of morality and selfishness so common in the history of our species is particularly interesting when applied to the current food crisis you know given these parameters our evolutionary selfish traits as species and that also trail within us so there is the community engagement again and then make culturally then engaging the general public and that's when we went into the color right and so and so this is just like a really short you know uh uh snapshot of of how would you create I mean high high level of communication strategy here like in blue faced based initiatives promoting stewardship of the earth now in red you would go celebrity endorsement of sustainable footprints appealing to prestige and individuality in orange corporate wellness programs incentivizing healthy sustainable food choices so we did have you know we touched on that I think the book is getting like big enough to where where you can get lost you must be writing it um and then so it's it's you know then then we saw talking in color so out of that now in the last meeting came uh cherry you were saying okay why don't we just write like a 800 word summary for each color that goes into into more of a descriptive detail there so that's when we got this here right and so this this is an analytic summary looking at the audience the thing I'm trying to figure out which is hinted at in the thing you just showed us in the last little segments which is start our religious movement to show the interplay you know blah blah blah um is unpacking that into some text so that so that you could then say and here's a message you would see here's who you want to you want to send this to bible schools like like the play that people wanted to do like you want here here is a couple audiences that would really work and here is the content of the message for them as an example um because then you're actually addressing those groups you're not talking about them yeah so we could spin that out um um as a next step yes so and and so I just hardly named this because I was running out of steam uh to to no to take this forward but so I was just saying so what are the visions of the future and so here is what I placed into chat gpt we have only deep memories of living with nature sharing the cycles of the seasons and living with her boundaries she willingly gives what has emerged is a dystopian landscape in places most people don't often see only here occasionally about the death of pollinators watersheds that are too polluted for recreational use strange weather patterns droughts floods storms a danger is pouring an anger a storm and then I'm asking chat gpt so use the opinion expressed above to write an essay of the dangers that lie ahead for humanity threatening the survival of our civilization and so this is what chat gpt would say um lyrical um I'm I'm going to have to drop off a call pretty soon I've got um something that needs to get done right now at some 15 minutes before our actual end and I'm happy to leave you guys talking if you want or we could wrap the call also um but it feels like class there's a bunch of things you know for next week yeah so I'm I stopped with trend lines um and so it's simply saying the trend lines are not good yeah um basically saying these impacts could lead to irreversible damage and create an array of challenges for human civilization and then so so we could go back into um communications a communications plan by color something of that sort yeah yeah yeah so um yeah and I have another question um and I agree with Jerry I think we've raised a lot of a lot of questions here to think about um is this editorial process working for you Klaus and I don't know if if if we had a a system of editorial process uh or you guys are just kind of jumping in in other words are you leaving these sessions with clarity about uh huh I need to do x y and z or um is it is it working um well it's working in a sense that we have been expanding um with based on your very specific questions okay um you know I mean we got to the introduction of spiral dynamics and so I copied this over because it's the best text that I could see and I'm not sure that chat gbt would even match this because there's just so much specificity and in summarizing these uh this content but we can rewrite it no but uh and then and then we meant I think these 800 word essays about specific colors are really powerful um because it really it really defines you know the distinction and uh and then you can test it you know when you I mean I was at the party a couple days ago and uh you just talk with different people and you can just see their colors jump at you you know in in the way that the the words they use and the references they make and so on so days I think there is great validity in in in this and this is I've always been no Maya breaks and all this stuff I've always been like deeply deeply suspicious and and disengage from any of that stuff but this is the first time where where uh it sort of makes sense because it's it's uh it just creates like the environment not the person itself but the environment that this person perceives and so yeah so I mean I I do find I do find this helpful I think um this is now there's now so much in place um I have to reread it myself to know so let me make can I make a suggestion can you drop the screen for a second I'll share my screen and show you something um cool thanks so I'm in the document over here and I started I turned on the outline what you do is the little the little bars up here just click on that and then and then I'm applying uh different headings to the different sections and subsections which then lets you see it part of the problem is that uh when it pastes in text it's pasting it in as if it were um so here's more text oh good this is normal text that's as it should be so here's uh dawn of homo sapiens industrial agriculture you can make this uh heading two and it might be a heading three I don't know but as you as you as you do the headings and subheadings to the right level you will see the book show up here as an outline and then you can navigate by just clicking on the different sections and it takes you to that section it's much faster and this gives you a pretty sort of chapter headings etc then you can see if there's duplications whatever it's much easier than once the document gets larger you're scrolling up and down and it takes a long time and you start to forget what's where so that'll probably help you know what I haven't landed on this yet so I have so totally just just and I'm making suggestions here so just approve my suggestions and then uh go crazy yourself so food revolt might be uh the second first heading I don't know you'll figure it out but see if you do first heading it comes out to the left now since the dawn of time I go down here this appears to be a title it should not be a title this should be normal text so anywhere you see a block of text that says title that's bad and now you see that it went away from over here so under food revolt why do we need to revolt uh just look at what the what the style is up here and any block of text should just be normal text now any heading or subhead should be at a certain level of indent and you can change that uh but for example here why are we using spiral dynamics uh this has shown up as a heading three which it probably doesn't need to do but I'm not going to mess with that one let's go uh oh interesting okay so it's it's busy interpreting all each of these things as headings Beck and Cowan this all of this text is heading three when it should just be normal text there we go so now that that's helping except I bet you each paragraph is heading but it needs to be a normal text so this whole section needs to be normalized instead of whatever but again this is the text I'm hoping you will take out of the document and make a link uh you know to it uh elsewhere so does that make sense yeah cool that will that will structure the document a lot more than than it is now you know I was just I haven't worked with with these software in such a long time I was really unaware of this function and I've been I've been aware that I need to have some kind of organization in the dark so I think it was helpful that'll work great um I should show me um shall I leave this open or shall we fold up for now hold up I've got another call to go to all right thank you thank you all right bye bye


It is a real pleasure and a great honor for me to introduce Professor Cristian Nuslenfohar in the context of her nomination as doctora Noris Causa by the University Pompeu Fabra. Professor Cristian Nuslenfohar does not need much of an introduction. She is one of the best known scientists in development of biology and generics and biology in general. She pioneered a scientific approach with molecular studies in the fruit fly Drosophila, which constituted a revolution in biology and was recognized with a Nobel Prize. To convey the importance of Professor Nuslenfohar achievements during her professional career is a difficult task, and I decided to do so by giving you my vision of her pillar contributions to this revolution in biology, specifically to development of biology and generics and to comment on her broader contributions to the scientific community. Before entering into the scientific accomplishments, I will briefly summarize the field of developmental biology, which basically aims at understanding how a whole fully differentiated organism is generated from a single multipotent cell, the zygote. Ambrionic development involves an exquisite balance between cell proliferation and cell differentiation that results in an enormous number of different cell types that must occur in their correct proportions and locations. The cartography and final shape of the organism are established by sequential processes that convert initially very simple patterns in others of increasing complexity. Thus, the building of a new organism involves the precise coordination of growth, spatial patterning and morphogenesis. The result is the generation of an individual with many different specialized organs, each with specific shape and function. You may take this as a brilliant triumph of evolution. Understanding the mechanism that controls the embryonic development in different animal species and the roadmap that allows this to be highly reproducible in every individual must be based on solid mechanisms selected throughout evolution. Getting deep knowledge about this mechanism is a crucial key for tissue biology, regenerative medicine and biomedical engineering that aim at the theraveu, the reconstruction of tissues and organs. These fundamental questions about how an embryo develops into a new individual were posed long ago by the ancient Greek scientists and philosophers. In the last century, advances in experimental embryology, the tradition of watching and manipulating embryos that had started in the late 19th century joined the application of generics and gene manipulation. With the birth of molecular biology and its development into a fully developed discipline, these fundamental questions became addressable. Much of the excitement in developmental biology nowadays comes from our growing understanding of how genes direct these developmental processes. And it was at this crucial crossroad envisaging the importance of placing generics at the central stage of embryonic development where Professor Nuslin Fohar played such a crucial role. Professor Nuslin Fohar has been interested for many years in how complexity arises from basic patterns and she did not fear in undertaking in many challenges to pursue this question. She began by studying gene transcription, how genes are switched on. During her PhD in the University of Tübingen she worked in the structure of gene promoters and isolated RNA polymerase binding sites from a stage, a bacterial virus. At that time techniques were still developing and were far less powerful or as fast as today. However, Professor Nuslin Fohar saw the potential of molecular biology for understanding the complex mechanism underlying embryonic development, one of the pillars of her scientific contributions. This was how after her PhD she transitioned it to developmental genetics. In those years it was recognized that the steps producing morphological complexity in different organisms were reproducible from one embryo to the next and that genes and cell interactions were important in embryonic development. But underlying mechanisms were largely unknown and somehow if not enigmatic. Professor Nuslin Fohar predicted that developmental mechanisms were so basic that they had to be evolutionary conserved and that genetics would lead the path to the logics of the biological systems. This is, in my opinion, one of the most revolutionary ideas in biology and another of the scientific pillars that paved the future road to travel. Professor Nuslin Fohar wanted to go beyond the evidence and thus investigated the logics of constructing the embryo. For this purpose she aimed at combining genetics and developmental biology. The rational was that the function of a gene can be deduced from the effects produced by its delitium, a simple but powerful concept. Genes whose mutations result in similar phenotypes are predicted to have similar functions and their products are likely to cooperate. Brilliantly, she foresaw that knowing how simple organisms form would help us to better understand how complex organisms develop. This is how, in 1973, she moved for a postdoctoral state to the laboratory of Walter Getting at Biozentrum in Basel, who had just published the first set of early mutants in Drosophila Melano-Gaster. No doubt that the Biozentrum and the Gettings Lab was one of the places to be if you wanted to understand genes and development. Developmental biology was flourishing in new concepts such as tissue pattern, morphogen gradients, positional information, and Drosophila was a fantastic and rather simple and non-expensive model system to work with. As she stated in her Nobel Prize Biography, it was difficult to be a beginner in everything after having been an expert in almost everything in the previous lab. With a whole new set of techniques being established around it with talented colleagues, she studied the Bicodal gene, which is today one of the best-known genes. While there, she developed new methods to generate her own mutants. It was then that she met Eric Vishaus, who just had finished his PhD, with whom she would share the Nobel Prize together with Louise Lee years later. In 1978, Professor Nuslen Fogher and Professor Vishaus got a job offer by director general of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, the EMBL, to establish a joint lab. Together, they started a new project, conceptually very simple, extremely powerful, and technically not so obvious. The idea was to identify all genes involved in embryonic development by mutating them at large scale. In other words, to mutate all the genes of the genome in such a manner that not more than a single gene would be mutated in each individual. And then, to look for specific developmental defects and trace back their function, what we now call reverse genetics. That was the first large-scale mutagenesis genetic screening in Drosophila embryos, the Heidelberg screen, performed between 1979 and 1980 at the EMBL in Heidelberg. Let me give you a flavor of it. Since I wanted to understand the logics behind cell determination and cell differentiation, as well as to trace back the decisions made by cells and tissues during early development, it was necessary to find out how many genes were involved in embryonic pattern formation, whether each of the genes was unique, and what types of changes and alterations can be traced back to a mutation in a single gene. Large-scale mutagenesis experiments would allow the identification of most, if not all, genes affecting embryonic developmental decisions on the basis of visible mutant phenotypes in the larva. With this in mind, they generated a collection of 600 Drosophila embryonic mutants that corresponded to 120 genes. They shared this mutant collection with the scientific community, pioneering the change of materials and data among the fly labs. That work was published in the journal Nature en octubre 1980 i s'ha fet un tornament en el lloc de demostrar que les genes controlaven les logics d'embryonic desenvolupament i que hi havia una jerarquia de gene sequencial. Aquests mutants, subsequently, provided a very rich resource for understanding many fundamental processes in development and disease. Most of the hydroborx genes are now molecularly characterized, and many of them are shown to be conserved in other animal species, including humans. Although the screens were initially driven entirely by curiosity, the mutants now serve as a model for many human diseases, showing once more the importance of fundamental scientific research for health sciences. After a few years, Professor Nusrin Fohar was appointed to the Frederick Mischer Laboratory of the Max Planck Society in Tübingen, where he moved in 1981, while Professor Wisch has moved to Princeton University. But they maintained that in going scientific collaboration which resulted in exciting discoveries and impressive breakthroughs, such as the discovery of the genes involved in the establishment of the fly body axis, or the role of morphogens in development. These investigations gradually evolved to a far more comprehensive understanding of the principles of axis determination in animals. Over all, this innovative work led to the award in 1995 of the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine to Professor Nusrin Fohar and Professor Wischhaus for the discoveries concerning the genetic control of early embryonic development together with Professor Luis, and revealed that embryonic development was actually controlled by a relative small fraction of genes within the genome, the so-called developmental genes. Although impressive, this is only half of the story. One big question emerged after the flight work, where do genes and mechanisms extensive to other animal species, in particular, do vertebrates use similar strategies? Around that time, high degree of gene homology among the metazoans slowly became apparent. As Stephen Jay Good stated in 1977, I also believe that an understanding of the regulation no s'agraeix a la centra d'aquests rapprochements entre molecular i evolucionari biològics. Per a síntesis d'aquestes biològiques, es podrà posar en lloc si això passa en el gran gran de desenvolupament. Aleshores, en el midi de la seva successa en la descobriència de les mecanismes moleculares governades per l'embryonic development, Professor Nusrin Fohar va un step further i anava a veure el que hem de fer a la zona de confort. Explorant si una fiche, com una zebra fiche, pot avançar-la a l'aigua de l'aigua per l'anàlisi genèrica de la desenvolupament de genes i va decidir si es podria ser utilitzat per la mateixa estratègia d'esforç d'Esòfila, una gran escala genètica. Amb això, s'ha anticipat la zebra fiche com una moda bèlgica per les genèriques. Per a aquells no familiars amb l'aigua de l'aigua, em diuen que una decisió implica una gran escala en les teves facilitats i un altre nivell de menaig de complexitat. Després, una gran enterprise. Però va fer una desafiació fascinant que va resultar en el començament de la zebra fiche en una gran escala o la escala de la Tübingen en 1992. Hi havia només dos llocs en què es va posar aquest model sistema, i Nogin i Boston. La escala va tornar a ser molt més complexa que l'esforç d'Esòfila. L'esforç de la fiche va ser en total 5 chromosomes mentre la fiche va ser 25. A més, per a la mutació de saturació, en termes pràctiques, es va necessitar a escala a més de 3.000 famílies. Aquest va ser un projecte titànic i va requer un comitment i cooperativitat a un degree que va ser excepcional per cientistes per a les seves pròctiques projectes. Després de treballar durant almost 20 anys, la Tübingen team va poder analitzar 1.163 fich mutants que es va desplaçar un fenotype específic. Aquesta gran enterprise va ser publicada en un issue de desenvolupament en 1996, que va ser feliç de zebra fiche. 22 de 37 articles van venir des de la Tübingen. Li havia de dir que va ser el president de la Tübingen i va dir que no havia acabat de fer una excepció abans que hi hagués més útils de l'espreta. L' pawn va ser una setup d'articulació de la calcium. Hello! La connexió de la setmanainky Hi ha resultats en una enterprise molt fruitiva, no només per a ells, sinó per a tots els nostres. Molts llocs dins el món són utilitzats per a un sistema model per estudiar, no només per a el desenvolupament, sinó per a la biologia de cancer i la terapia precisió. A més, han demostrat que les mecanismes basades en la construcció d'un organista són molt conserverses entre les espècies. Després del nostre pretències, humans no són tan singular en aquesta situació i probablement també no en altres. Asu mai anticipa, l'impacte d'aquest laborat ha estat enorm. Ara utilitzem simplement organistes per estudiar les qüestions fonamentals i, d'aquí, ens pot bé entendre l'impacte de la ciutadania i la ciutadania. Una altra, estudiant estudis en base de recerca, basant-se en un impacte dramàtic en biomedicina. Després d'aquest profe científic brif, m'agradaria comentar el rol que ha fet el professor Nuslein Fohar com un mentor científic. A les aliments, el nostre lab, l'estil de Nuslein Fohar, ha sempre estat que les llibres postdocs que van viure a la lab van prendre els seus projectes amb ells i, a vegades, els estudis de la PHD. Les persones han deixat la lab de Nuslein Fohar amb algunes de les més interessants projectes que ningú hauria de fer per ell o a ell. Aquesta és la generositat, i és també una declaració per la implementació de joves científics als grups líders. Per a la escena de Tübingen, va construir un projecte de excel·lent científics a treballar en un projecte comunal per a la bona gràfica. S'inspira experiència de científics i estudis de PHD a treballar per a la col·lectivitat i, a més, fer-ho com independentes. En l'enviatament competitiu de la ciència d'avui, ha de fer la feina de la llei i de fer un projecte de excel·lent politèmica. La campanya de la Generalitat ha de fer un projecte de excel·lent científics a treballar en un projecte comunal a les grups d'aigua i de fer un projecte de excel·lent científics. La setmana que va fer la campanya de la Generalitat s'havia d'oblidar per a la seva campanya i per a la seva campanya, que ho ha de fer. amb la necessitat d'aparèixer la feina de moltes persones i de donar justícia a tothom. Com a preveure l'esforç amb les llocs en Boston que tenen altres goals i approaches, aquestes qüestions són encara present avui en moltes llocs. La ciència pot ser mercil·lista i si no et fan les mateixes decisions, et riska la teva feina i eventualment la teva carrer. Però, tornant al Tübingen, el que va passar després de la subvenció dels articles a la desenvolupació, va ser una bona part de celebrar l'esforç successful d'una imbèndia i unica entreprenentat. El professor Nuslen Fohar ha mentit en molts llocs d'esforç que no fan les seves llocs en l'Europa Unitat de Japó. Aquests metges de mutant han tingut un risc molt ràpid per a molts laborataris i a la mateixa de Tübingen, un landmark per a les biològiques de desenvolupament. Volem saber que fer ciència no és una feina més difícil. Però, tenia exemple i conseqüència per als llocs d'esforç, en la meva opinió, extremament valuables. Deixi els fills després del teu PhD, desenvolup el teu profe independent, ser self-critical i accedir als teus habilitats en comparació amb altres. Note que tots els llocs es relenquen amb tu. Finalment, no et portaré sense un brif note en l'impacte del professor Nuslen Fohar's comitment a posar l'esforç de la gent d'esforç en ciència. Com que ho sabem, o almenys ho hem de fer, ens han representat en les llocs d'esforç una mesura de potència científica. Professor Nuslen Fohar, com a llocs d'esforç de la gent, va treballar en un enviarment en què a moltes de les filles eren menys. Vaig experiència en dificultats de no belonging a la clàpia, però a la determinació i intel·ligència i les contribucions científics que es van mencionar, va accedir. Vaig viure en una experiència en desgèndria i igualitat que en 2004, va promptar-la a iniciar una fundació que dona suport a talented young women scientists who have children with the aim to increase the contribution of highly qualified women to edge science in Germany. This foundation, the Christian Nuslen Fohar's tipto for the promotion of science and research aims to help to prevent the loss of talent by improving women opportunities in sciences. Her foundation targets specifically the problem of balancing family duties with the strong demand required to develop a career as an independent researcher and focuses on PhD students and postdoctoral fellows in the fields of experimental natural sciences and medicine. Professor Nuslen Fohar knows well that being a scientist is a very demanding professional decision which very early on requires a high degree of independence, a great deal of engagement and motivation as well as talent, originality and intelligence. In order to gain an independent and permanent position, it is necessary strong dedication. This may not be possible if family responsibilities are too big or rely only on women's side. It is therefore not uncommon for a woman to subordinate her career to that of her partner on to decide against having children. Such a decision is normally not demanded from men. It is usually unconsequential to their career whether they have a family with children or not. Professor Nuslen Fohar considera que ésties were way to causes for few women in leading positions and for those who are to more likely remain without children. The objective of the foundation was to provide funds intended to pay for assistance in household tasks and for additional childcare to relieve these young female scientists from household burden and gain time and flexibility for research activities. She was generous enough to start the foundation with her own funds that she did for several institutions to join her initiative. I'm happy to say that this foundation has inspired institutions among us like the Center of Genomic Regulation and our own Department of Medicine and Life Sciences that pioneered in Spain the establishment of this kind of allowances for young female scientists. This path has been later followed by the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology and by the rest of the University Pompelfabra. These fellowships help but clearly do not solve things. In other words, there is still a long road to travel and we all need to keep working with multiple actions and policies to help closing the gender gap. I would like to finish by emphasizing the importance of Professor Nuslen Fohar as one of the intellectual pillars of developmental biology, a pioneer scientist who explored and developed new concepts and intellectual frameworks, a leader who promoted long-term projects of great value, a mentored top scientist and, above all, an extraordinary researcher who worked for making science a space for intellectual debate where all of us may stand. Thank you. Thank you very much.


Two team keep it clean. What's going on the same grave and hit with another episode of NFL questions through subs Which is a series where you can ask me NFL question and we answered in the video You want to be part of it? You can send me an email to team keep it clean at gmail.com over the patrons shout out to the team keep it clean patrons Y'all can send it directly on Patreon if you would like to join a team keep it clean patrons You can go to patreon.com slash engraving vids if not just stick around right here because we got some fire questions Like we always do first question came from my boy Brandon I appreciate you being a patron you said engraving with Lamont now practice and do you think we should just let them sit for the Remain of the season. Yes. Yes, because it seems as if if they do do anything this year it would just Be like not even necessarily pointless, but almost pointless Because it would be rushing him for the short term and it could have potential long-term impacts That would just wouldn't be good I feel like the whatever his injury is was and has been I feel like it's worse than what the Ravens led us on to believe I think it's almost been one of those things where It's it's one of those things where they they were holding out hope like all right Well, maybe if we could win a couple games and we could slide in maybe he could come back for the playoffs maybe but it's It just seems like it's something it's obviously really bad because he ain't played in what four five Man, what are we seeing them all play? Was it man, I don't even remember Oh the Browns game the build Yeah, the first quarter of the semi quarter of the Browns game and then that was it. So wow But yeah, I just sit him sit him that that's it Oh, but he also said it feels like there are a lot of fans wanting to force him on the field But I think that will only further injure our franchise guy Yeah, they've been some fans that like oh man When I was in high school, I had an ankle injury and I played right through it Oh, yeah, when when I when I played football and I had a bruised bone. I just ran it off But they failed to realize that they weren't about to get a huge 400 500 million dollar contract. They weren't playing for them think a lot of them forget that they went with the Situations are much different. That's why context is so important just with everything But anyway He said also is trying to make the playoffs even worth it This injured Ravens team would just be another first round exit and further continue the narrative of Lamar being a choke artist But if Lamar isn't even playing, which I mean, I just don't expect him to play like at all I know for a lot of fans. They feel like it's not worth it for me I feel like it is because you just never know I know the team has been beat up bruised up banged up all that good stuff but I feel like you should never throw in the towel for anything and I just I know the expectations will be low even if the Ravens do or did make the playoffs, but still You just never know what could happen Maybe a lot of the decision-making and a lot of the play will all just all of a sudden get better If they end the playoffs, but I mean so yeah, I wouldn't think it would be for nothing But I just I don't really think it Happens next question came from my guy Matt He said a engraving hold the famous doing well now in regards to the Ravens offense Do you think it would be beneficial if G-roll called plays from the sideline as opposed to calling plays from the booth? I see a sense of disconnect between him and the players might as well try something new It may lead to actual adjustments since players can communicate to G-roll things that they see on the field Right then and there in person. What do you think? I love that? Love that question. I love that that answer. I love that solution, too It couldn't hurt. I Mean, I know it's only one game left for the season now But it couldn't hurt. Well, he sent this when it was actually two games left in the season But yeah, it could not hurt Couldn't hurt because yeah, they could have some direct communication with them talk to him The quarterbacks the running backs the receivers offensive like they could all talk to him Right then and then person and it could be like alright. Hey, well, okay Maybe I see this a little bit differently, but that would take adjustments to be made on G-roll's part And that's something that he seems to fail at so But it couldn't hurt. What's the worst that could happen? That's the way I look at it What's the worst that could happen? I said also do you think next year G-roll could formulate a dominant run game featuring JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards without The threat of QB design runs. No No, I don't think that This offense with Greg Roman would ever be an offense that does not feature the design QB runs I don't I don't have any confidence in that at all Initially when I was first reading the question and you said oh could G-roll formulate a dominant run game featuring JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah But then you said without the the threat of design QB runs and I was like, okay I think the formations and motions using the QB run game create schematic flaws and limitations in the past game Hmm that makes it difficult for any cute QB to push the ball downfield and win games that way. Yes Yes. Yes. Yes, especially with that personnel, man Especially with the personnel, man He said unless you're an MVP that can run a 4-2 Changing the offense in that way would allow the martyr become more of a distributor Put more receivers on the field and get deeper in the passing game Yes, this is my biggest frustration when they have Pat Ricardo out here running all these routes like he's a wide receiver or even a tight end No, the personnel the way that they scheme personnel is it can be laughable sometimes Anyway, say what do you think sorry for long message? Thank you and bless up appreciate your map Next question came from my guy Dominique. He said what's up engraving another close game lost a game We could have put away but didn't down in the red zone We found no capabilities off of opportunities and too many field goals when we needed touchdowns My question is when we got in the red zone, what do you think the problem was was a play calling execution or a combination of a little Bit of everything that drive when we kept giving it to Murray. We should have just kept giving it to him and scored Yeah, down in the red zone. They just they just stopped they just they just really stopped and I think it was a mix of a few things the thing play calling just seem to be off I was like I was wondering why I They they just weren't letting Tyler Huntley throw like on there was a run on first down like from first like I think the two-yard line something like that, but There was a run on first down. I was okay. They ran on first down. Okay, cool Whatever, but then they ran it on second down to him like no, what why did you do that? I didn't understand that especially with the situation at hand. You're trying to score you need to score It was just like weird It was really weird and then going against The name is blanking. Oh von Miller um There was some whiffs by Patrick McCurry where von Miller just like oh, I'm going right past you and For the Ravens to consistently run like right at Aaron Donald. It just I Don't know some stuff just be so crazy man. It's like how how how is this even? Going down, but that's that's been this season in a nutshell and he also said I think this lost It put a damper in our playoff hopes But all we had to do is take care of our own business and we fumbled the bag again We need help from other teams and one is for Jacksonville to beat the coach And I don't think that's happening So my question is who on the team as a player were you most disappointed in this season and who as a coach? Were you most disappointed in this seat? Oh my goodness. What a question? Wow? My second question is what changes would you like to see happen? Oh? Wow this we could do a whole episode on this Question alone, but anyway, which player was our most disappointed in this season. Um, hmm Player Wow, I Guess overall Maybe Sammy Watkins and it's like a weird disappointment. It's because with Sammy Watkins He started off strong Started off hot being very involved or whatnot, but it ended up being the same thing that a lot of chiefs fans talked about Bill's fans and like stuff that we talked about too when the Ravens first started flirting with Sammy Watkins injuries Injuries and I know a lot pretty much everybody on the Ravens been hurt this year, but injuries But it seems as if once he first got injured Um That was like the beginning of the end. It's like we never heard from Sammy Watkins again Because he started off in the Raiders game had a really big catch in the Raiders game Made some plays in the Chiefs game And I know he did slip and then that slip ended up being a pick six But I made some plays in the Chiefs game and then of course in the Lions game had that big catch on fourth and 19 It's like all right. Let's go and then It's like once he got hurt That was it that would seem like that was the end of his season because you just never really heard from him like that again And I mean he did catch the one touchdown. I think that was in the Steelers game I want to say yeah, that wasn't a Steelers game because then they went for two right after anyway it was just that that was the beginning of the end and I I Just expected a little bit more from Sammy Watkins. I and then the culture they really stopped putting him on the field at that point And I mean I could understand why too because you saw Rashad Bateman and Sammy Watkins was supposed to help usher in This new regime of Ravens wide receivers Um, so I'm sure you've done a lot like off the field probably coached him up and stuff probably gave him some advice and whatnot um, but this is why I uh I said when we were first off flirting with Sammy Watkins when we this first the rumors about Possibly that the Ravens possibly signing him. This is exactly why I said The Ravens cannot put all their eggs into that one Sammy Watkins basket We know he can play we know he can catch we know he can run We know he can ball But we don't know if he can stay healthy and that's been the biggest question mark biggest question mark I remember so many chiefs fans a couple in particular Well one in particular um a couple in particular talking about They were like, oh, yeah, Sammy Watkins. He good for a couple games and then he good for the playoffs But regular season don't count on it was like, oh, yeah, that's kind of the expectation um But somebody calling like six games Sammy or something like that, uh, to where you get a good six games out of him, but that'll be it um So yeah, and that that was it and then the dolphins game. He he wasn't fully healthy I don't think he was fully healthy in that dolphins game to where he caught the ball And then the fumble the fumble return for a touchdown is it's just been um underwhelming it started off like Oh, yeah, oh, let's go, but then it ended off like oh man, oh no Um, and as far as the the coach that I'm most disappointed in this season I would probably say John Harbaugh and the reason I would say John Harbaugh is because of um, I just feel the the the the unnecessary There was a lot of unnecessary stuff that was done this year, uh, especially in against the Browns and the Steelers and the Packers um With all the the the two point conversions is just Just a lot of unnecessary stuff. Um, and that ended up now the Ravens. Hey I know some people be like, oh well. Hey, if the Ravens if the Ravens um If the Ravens went to overtime they still could have lost and they could have But those all those two point conversions they took away that opportunity Well, not the Browns game because they got the onside kickback miraculously Uh, but they yeah, they still lost but and then it just situation of situation of football has just it's just been been bad this year It's been bad. Um, and I just that that's what I would be the most disappointed in because You know the situation at hand, you know, your roster is depleted. You know this and you know that but For him to put the team in those positions I know. Hey, if it would have worked It would have worked. I still wouldn't like the call. I would have been glad that it worked But I still wouldn't like the call. Um, I just didn't feel like it was the smartest thing to do Um, and and and for it to happen time and time and then time again, I was like, well, I it just it it was crazy it was crazy to see and um, it it just and also too with the uh with the decision making of the roster like Uh with the handling of the roster. That's been another thing that I've been been very disappointed in um, like with uh with tyson williams We know our running game this year pretty much a wash But because we lost jk and we lost gus and we lost justice here Um, and we even had a banged up luma for the longest and then we lost luma But still to to have tyson williams just there Just there and you see like davante freeman. The more davante freeman has been getting carries He's been looking better and better as the season has went along Latavius murray He didn't really start looking better until ben cleveland got in the lineup ben cleveland got in the lineup Latavius murray been looking better But tyson williams just been there Getting nothing being active a lot of game days, but getting nothing and it's like This is a running bag that you know could give you a spark You know not now latavius murray. He hasn't fumbled davante freeman Him and luma had like one fumble early in the season then he ain't fumbled the ball either So they've been holding on to the ball for sure, which is great but That the there's that Explosiveness uh, latavius murray, he's not explosive But um davante freeman. He has looked more explosive and more comfortable as the season went along But tyson williams gave you that explosiveness from jump Imagine if tyson williams could have been getting some decent carries and and he could have given you that explosiveness too And even when latavius murray was out and then they they did have a levy on bail, but he's not explosive tyson williams like he could have gave given you an opportunity and you could have worked with him Instead of just throwing him under the bus You could we're about the fumbles and stuff and about oh, yeah, it's running back. You know how to you need to know How to pick up blocks you need to know what is that You could have worked with him On his but no they just threw him under the bus and just left him there So it was just is disappointing and then like Even this past week, uh, well, whenever you're watching this i'm recording this on january 4th So the game uh that we just lost against the rams where James pro shea has seven catches for 76 yards last game and yeah, it was in a blowout But he still had it. He still made it happen. So that's him. That's him getting into the rhythm So a lot of times guys will get into a rhythm in one game and they'll carry it over to the next game But then you have him inactive So that rhythm can't be carried over at all You just eliminate the chance of that period and I just Yeah, so it it would be him. I could go on more, but um, it would be him Uh, he said my second question is what changes would you like to see happen? I would just like to see this a philosophy shift a philosophy change Uh for the ravens and instead of all this ground and pound Run run run run run and play good defense. They need to air it out It's time to air it out because lamar's future is in jeopardy Depending on what the ravens do or what they don't do Speaking of the ravens and their philosophy next question came from my guy burt and he said greg roman Shouldn't he be fired? He had no solution to lamar being blitz for four weeks when every commentator could diagram the problem and solution His red zone plays are predictable every week one receiver disappears No one offered to help lamar with his lack of progressions Which cause receivers like brown and bateman to be open but get ignored and huntley's ability for the long passes is ignored obvious problem So should greg roman be fired? Well, he could be But what's that gonna solve? What's that gonna solve because it's this is why I say philosophy change Because hobo would just hire another guy And it would we had the same conversation all over again Same conversation all over again He would hire a guy that either failed as a head coach Or a guy that doesn't have it that that is not going to be considered to be a head coach And we it it would just be the same thing over again So should greg roman be fired? Hey, yeah, that'd be cool. Okay, but What's going to be the solution at that point? I just I don't have much faith in this organization to to make the right decision when it comes to that I hope that things change But my expectations that they are very low when it comes to this situation next question Well statement came from zoe. He said sean wade would be nice wouldn't he lol? He's so petty. We must believe to achieve next question came from my guy riko He said what's up in graven? Hope all is well with you in the fair I know we are short-handed, but why must they keep putting via? Via nuova on the field. It's clear that he is not a good fit He his nickname for me is vanilla wafer But in all seriousness the line is the big problem when that ball is snapped. So in graven Why man, why haven't they benched him yet and let patrick rickard take his spot lol? Or just kidding on that part. Okay, because boy, you scared me with that one at first, man. You did Um, they they may feel like they don't have any anything that's better They they they could feel that way. Um But yeah with via nuova Yeah, it's been rough It's been rough this year. This hasn't been a great year for him. Um, but I just I don't expect him to be back next year But I We will see but I yeah, I don't expect him to be back next year They could keep him for insurance for just in case for ronnie stanley just in case for just really the offensive line period But you could also go a lot of other routes with the left tackle right tackle too Um, so we'll see but you um Like I feel like they they they got to the point like well where they might have felt like all right Well, who who's gonna be better than big al next question came from lish said, what's up in graven sending blessings to you and your family starting off 2022 with a bang This isn't so much a question But I had a feeling that the ravens were going to be in a slump eventually during the season So I got to get this off my chest. I've been a boss more ravens fan for at least 15 plus years and we have always been a solid team regardless of any situation we put in The only thing missing is faith and I still have it for some odd reason play calling and coaching has been consistent Not pretty nor explosive but consistent to where we are put in tough situations that we came short Uh of but we only seem to see when we don't succeed Nor consider the fact that this team is doing what it has been doing for years The whole season was over before it started and for some reason I don't think all that work was put in just for us to fall short What if we make a run in the playoffs? What would be the narrative with the organization players coaches trainers medical staff, etc Um, that'd be nice That'd be nice. And I would love to see that happen I would I would love to see that happen. But I mean we won't know till we know Uh, but what what what would be the uh What would be the narrative? It would be that a despite all those people getting hurt despite all those bad decisions that had been made Despite all those questionable decisions that have been made despite a lot of plays that got left on the field despite so much They were able to overcome that


What is the difference between self-attention and multi-head attention? In self-attention, every word in a sequence pays attention to every other word to understand context. Take all the word vectors, break each word down into query, key, and value vectors, compute the attention matrix, and generate the final word vectors. These vectors have good context awareness. Multi-head attention is similar, but we're performing this operation multiple times in parallel. Take the input word vectors, break each word vector down into query, key, and value vectors, and break each of those into eight parts, assuming eight heads, with one per head. Compute the attention matrices for each case, we'll have eight of them, and compute the output vectors, which we will also have eight of. Concatenate each of these sets of eight vectors to get the final word vectors. Now, these word vectors have even better contextual understanding than just the single head self-attention.


The Aikid State Government has officially flagged off the National Youth Volunteer Programme on hand-washing and clean Nigeria campaign for COVID-19 intervention. This is aimed at the protection of people against infection diseases and meeting the target of making the state open the defecation free by next year. The Commissioner for Public Utilities Bamdele Fakbarusi oversaw the launch. As both civil, socio-economic regulations, sensitization and commitment of a lot of border resources in its fight against COVID-19, this has contributed in no small amount to the low number of infections in the state. In December, the vaccination against the virus is ongoing smoothly across the state. However, the last thing to be done, especially where new variants of the virus are evolving every day, the state, as we partner with various agencies, both border and international to help eradicate this pandemic.
