the radical fundamental principles of freedom, rational self-interest and individual rights. This is The Iran Book Show. Hey everybody, there we are. Welcome to Iran Book Show on this Friday, February 16th. I hope everybody's having a fantastic, had a fantastic week. It's almost over. And looking forward to the weekend. Just a reminder that we will have a show tonight at 7 p.m. east coast time topic to be determined. And there will also be a show, the Hebrew show, the show I do for Israel, will be tomorrow. I think it's 1 p.m. east coast time, 12 p.m. east coast time. And there will be another show on Sunday, not your exact time. So four weekend of shows, just in case you're worried about having some Iran Book Show withdrawal symptoms. All right, sad news out of Russia today. There's always sad news out of Russia. I think that's the essential characteristic of Russia is sadness. But Alexei Navalny, a longtime opponent of Vladimir Putin, a longtime opposition leader, a longtime anti-corruption activist, has died. No cause of death was provided. And he was seen healthy yesterday on video at one of the hearings related to his trial.  She seemed completely healthy. Anyway, he's dead as of this morning. And Navalny, of course, has been fighting against the Russian machine, if you will, a political machine since at least 2011. He had his own YouTube channel, his Twitter account. And in a 2011 radio interview, he described Russia's ruling party as a party of cooks and thieves. I think pretty much captures it, pretty much captures it. And he published investigative journalism around this that accused high-ranking senior officials in the Russian government of corruption. Over the years, Navalny was arrested many times. And he ran for mayor of Moscow in 2013. He tried to run for president of Russia in 2018, but the Central Electoral Commission ruled him ineligible. In 2020, he made headlines in the West because he was poisoned. He was on a flight from Tomsk to Moscow. He became poisoned with a nerve agent. He was immediately shallowed off to Berlin, where he received medical treatment, and where the idea that he was poisoned was confirmed by German doctors. He made a recovery, recovered fully from the poisoning and decided, kind of crazily, to actually return to Russia and continue his fight against Putin. Even after knowing, Putin wanted him dead. There was no doubt, by the way, on who poisoned him. It was Putin and the Russian officials. He was arrested when he landed in Moscow. Russian prosecutors opened a criminal, obviously, he's been accused of violating terms of suspended jail sentence, something like that, and working against the state. He's been within the Russian judicial system since 2020. He was sent to a, what do you call it, colony, a prisoner colony. I didn't even know they had such things. Above the Arctic Circle in Siberia, very reminiscent of Stalin. Where he passed away, he's been on and off sick. And many people thought he was going to die a while back. But he died this morning at the prison. I don't know much about the politics of Navalny, other than he opposed Putin, and other than that, obviously Putin, at least, thought he was unbelievably dangerous and needed to be silenced. Just from that, I conclude Navalny was a hero, a hero of more freedom in Russia. A hero of getting rid of the brutal, you know, homicidal regime of Vladimir Putin. And Navalny, of course, suffered the consequence of that homicidal regime. This is, of course, the same Putin that Taka gave a platform for. This is the same Putin that in many ways, or the same Russia, the Taka praises. By the way, there's a video circulating not only did Taka go to the train station to the underground station. He went to grocery shopping. We talked about that yesterday. But he also went to a fast food place in Moscow and was raving about the non-GMO food. You can find that video online. This is the Taka who now loves all things Russian. Anyway, on the way home, I guess it was home, but on the way leaving Moscow, Taka stopped in another bastion of liberty and a bastion of freedom, another city that is super clean, very, very clean, and where there is no crime, almost zero crime, maybe safer even than Tokyo. And that is Dubai. In Dubai, he sat down at the World Government Summit. I don't know what that is, but it's a World Government Summit. And he was interviewed by a local, I don't even know who's interviewing. I have no idea. He has an Arab accent, so he's local. But more than that, I do not know. And in that interview, Taka Carlson was asked about Navalny and why he didn't ask Putin about him. And I think this is a video worth watching. I think we should, you shouldn't believe what I say Taka said. You shouldn't listen to it himself. I'll play it with the question and the answer. And we can discuss it after that. But this is the link between Navalny and Taka beyond the fact that one was fighting to free Russia and one was fighting to bring Putin, I think, is still fighting to bring Putin's ideology to the United States. Here is the video. This is the World Government Summit. This is about a few days after the interview with Putin. And I will play it. I assume the sound should be fine. The devil's advocate. Advocate away. Yes. Okay. I'll tell you.  It's not for me to give you a lecture about that. But you should challenge some ideas. For instance, you didn't talk about freedom of speech in Russia. You did not talk about Navalny, about assassinations, about restrictions on opposition in the coming elections. I didn't talk about the things that every other American media outlet talks about. Because those are covered and because I have spent my life talking to people who run countries. Now notice he says those are covered. But everything he asked Putin has been covered. I mean, everything Putin said had been covered. And indeed, I thought the whole point of the interview with Putin was discover what Putin thought about this, not what is covered by American mainstream media that we all know. But the whole point of the question is, the whole point of questioning Putin is discover what does Putin think about free speech. Wouldn't that be interesting rather than bring that out? So, Tatekehiu is being duplicitous.  He's lying. But why doesn't he just say, you know, to say I didn't cover it because the mainstream media covers it. The mainstream media is not interviewing Putin. He had this unique opportunity to interview Putin and find out what Putin actually thinks about free speech. He didn't ask it. Now we get to the actual reason why he didn't ask it. So, back to Tatekehiu. I have spent my life talking to people who run countries in various countries and have concluded the following. That every leader kills people. Every leader kills people. Every leader kills people. They're all the same. Model equivalency. Some might kill more. We'll say that in a minute.  There's no difference. Putin, Biden, Trump for that matter, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. Every leader kills people. This reminds me of an interview, almost verbatim of an interview Donald Trump did in 2016, relatively early in the presidential campaign, where he was asked about Putin. He was asked about Putin assassinating his rivals. And Trump said, you know, we assassinate people too. What's the big deal? This is who you want to hand the country to. These are the people who should govern. These are the people who should set the course for the country. God help us. Including my leader. Every leader kills people. Some kill more than others. Leadership requires killing people. Sorry. Leadership requires killing people. It isn't just, you know, leaders are corrupt, but leadership requires killing people. That's a pretty strong statement and tells you a lot about kind of the political thinking that somebody like. And we're not talking about here. I mean, he'll say, oh, war and stuff like that. That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about, first of all, we're talking the context of killing your political opponents. We're talking about killing your political opponents. And he will say, well, everybody goes to war, leaders kill people. I don't know. I'll leave that for a minute. That's why I wouldn't want to be a leader. That press restriction is universal in the United States. I know because I've lived it. I've asked my former, you know, I've had a lot of jobs. So censorship in Russia, censorship in the United States, same thing. I know Biden is very critical of Biden. He's done a lot of shows criticizing Biden for years now. Is he being sent to to Northern Alaska to ice fish and to a labor camp? I don't know. If you guys are not furious right now, if you guys are not mad, if you guys are not ready to dump Tucker and anybody associated with him, then all I can say is it's hopeless. It's hopeless. If this doesn't make you steaming mad, because Tucker's not a trivial journalist. Tucker is the journalist of the way. Tucker is, his interview was watched for 500 million times or something. And I've done this for 34 years, and I know how it works. And there's more censorship in Russia than there is in the United States. A little bit, yeah, a little bit more censorship in Russia than it is in the United States. And so at a certain point, it's like people can decide. Almost no censorship in the United States. It's complete BS. Whether they think, you know, what countries they think are better, what systems they think are better. I just want to know what he thinks. That was the whole point. Yeah. Yeah, then why didn't you ask him? But that's the point. He didn't ask him what he thought. He didn't ask him about free speech. What he thought of free speech. Whoops, what am I doing there? I shouldn't be there. We should be there. All right. I don't know. My frustration is not so much at Tucker. It's at his audience. It's at the, I mean, Tucker's doing what Tucker needs to do to maintain his audience. I think Tucker, at the end of the day, this is Tucker.  I think he's gone through that evolution. So I don't think he believes in anything right now.  I think, I can't think of anything more despicable, anybody more despicable and disgusting that I've encountered in the media over the last, what is it now, few years, and I've been telling you this over and over again, that Tucker Carlson, and I hope that his performance over the last week or so shows that. And maybe other people start seeing what I saw years ago and what, anyway, I don't know. I am super frustrated, super frustrated. All right. A neat comparison here, some you might think between Tucker Carlson doing what he's doing in Moscow and Walter Durante. Walter Durante, for those of you who don't know, is the New York Times Bureau Chief in Moscow in the early 1930s. He won a Pulitzer Prize for 13 articles. He wrote in 1931 analyzing Joseph Stalin's regime. He is known for having basically lied about what was going on in Ukraine, the mass starvation in Ukraine. What was that movie? God, I forgot my another movie, but wonderful movie. Well, wonderful, scary, but wonderful, really good movie about, God, somebody remind me about the famine in Ukraine, Mr. Jones. Thank you, Emmett. Mr. Jones, Durante plays a role there, and he's shown to be the creep that he was. Durante was a communist spy, and he worked in the New York Times, and he wrote articles basically subtly praising Stalin.  I think, I think Tucker Carlson is the Durante of today. He's not a spy. I don't think Putin's paying him. The sad thing is, just like Durante found an incredibly receptive audience in the United States. In the 1930s, certainly the intellectual class in the United States were, the intellectual class in the United States were communists. I think the same today is with Tucker. Tucker finds a mass, large number of fascists in the United States. They don't call themselves fascists. They don't think of themselves as fascists, but they are fascists in the United States who love him and adore him as freedom in the United States declines. And as the contest between the authoritarians of the left and the authoritarians of the right and who gets, who gets to dominate the scraps of what's left of America, Tucker is the Walter Durante of the right. He is their spokesman. He is their guy giving us beautiful reports from Russia. And anybody who loves Tucker, and here I'm talking about Ken and I'm talking about Richard and others on this chat, not only can you go to hell, but you guys are at the forefront of destroying this country, at the forefront of destroying this country. You are part of the destruction of this country. You are part of the end of this country. You should be ashamed of yourselves. And it saddens me to see you on my chat. One last thing, maybe a little humor with forgot a Tucker at the end, because I am kind of angry. This is from your district judge, Mary K. V. Scottsill. She was a judge in the Southern District of New York, and she was the judge responsible for the defamation lawsuit against Tucker Carlson. This is basically what she ruled. She ruled that the genia tenure of the show should then inform a viewer that Carlson is not stating actual facts about the topics he discusses and isn't instead engaging in exaggeration and non-literal commentary. This is by the way the position the Fox lawyers argued for, and Tucker Carlson's lawyers argued for, that he is an entertainer. She wrote, quote, Fox persuasively argued that given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer arrives with an appropriate amount of skepticism about the statement he makes. By the way, she was an appointee of Trump. She's a Trump appointee, not some leftist. Whether the court frames Mr. Carlson's statement and exaggeration, non-literal commentary, or simply bloviating for his audience, the conclusion remains the same. The statements are not actionable. Anyway, can't sue him because he's not really, nobody takes him seriously. Nobody should take him seriously put it that way. The comments I'm making about Tucker are based on everything I've said about Tucker over the last few years, but certainly over the last three days, the analysis of his interview with Putin, which was a joke, and then all this commentary on Moscow where he fawns over Moscow, and of course the video I just showed you where he basically morally equivocates between the Russian regime and the American regime and the Western regimes and advocates that leadership means killing people. So a big deal if Putin is killing people. All right, I don't know where I go from there, but we're going to take on another light topic that people can embrace. Just a roundup of some of the craziness that has been, you can see the craziness that is going on in the world right now as I think our civilization is challenged from crazies on the right, Tucker Carlson, and crazies on the left, these guys. All right, earlier this week, a crowd of demonstrators surrounded a hospital in Toronto yelling intifada, intifada at its patients and staff because the hospital was founded by Jews who have nothing to do with Israel. And somehow the hospital will not free Palestine, as of course the hospital should. The hospital is Mount Sinai, so there's another reason to attack it even though Mount Sinai is actually in the Sinai Desert Peninsula, which is technically in Egypt, not in Israel. But this all in the name of social justice, the anti-Semites attack a hospital in Toronto. But off of the second floor of the hospital, they climbed on top and they flew a Palestinian flag. They harassed patients, they harassed family members of the patients, they harassed nurses, doctors. Yeah, just because it was founded by Jews. It's named after Jews, the Joseph and Wolf Leibovich health complex, and it's called Mount Sinai. This is the world in which we live. Not to be outdone, the Pro Hamas, Pro Möder, Pro Rape mob in New York City basically took over, I think it was last Sunday, the Museum of Modern Art. Now, I have some sympathy for protesting inside the Museum of Modern Art. If you like Tucker, you're not an objectivist. How about that? If you like Tucker, if you like this Tucker, the Tucker of the last week, you're not an objectivist. I don't think, anyway.   Anyway, it took over the Museum of Art. There were tourists there, there were families there. They put a big sign in the Museum of Modern Art from the river to the sea. They actively called for the genocide of the Jewish people in Israel, and this is a major tourist spot, although I hate that Museum. It's not art that they exhibit there. It's pretty ugly stuff. One more, Students for Justice in Palestine at Columbia University this week were very clear in their protests. They stated very clearly, we don't want two states, we want all of it. We don't want two states, we want all of it. In other words, what they want is they want the genocide of the Jews. That is exactly what they want. All right, see here. All right, I guess nothing to be seen. All right, and just to tap it all off in terms of anti-Semitism week, the Irish, the Irish, what is it? A basketball team, a basketball team, a women's basketball. The Irish basketball team refused to shake hands with the Israeli basketball team before a match, before a match. And the Irish basketball team does not look Palestinian, not look Palestinian at all. That red hair, those freckled faces, and oh, I forgot one last one, a Broadway charity called Broadway Cares. It turns out it's been obviously collecting money for Broadway, for actors who don't have work, actors out of job, and so on. And they have been found to have channeled $400,000 of contributions that came in to support starving artists, actors. They funneled $400,000 of those to Gaza, to Hamas. All right, let's see. Some good news, some good news. I mean, I think it's good news, it'll be interesting to see. I've got three good news stories, and then, oh, no, one kind of good news. Before we get to the good news, China. So the Chinese stock market has crashed. Chinese property markets have crashed. Most of Chinese people's saving were in property markets. Millions of Chinese people, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of Chinese are losing their life savings. And China's not the country that it was 40 years ago. China's a country where people notice that they're losing their life savings, and they've experienced middle-class hood. And they know what at least some wealth can do, and suddenly their stocks are crashing. Their apartments are worth a fraction of what they bought, and some who put money down for apartment they will receive in the future are not going to get that apartment. Just they're not being built. The developers are going bust. And the Chinese are frustrated, and they're expressing it in a variety of different ways, and it's difficult for them to express it because of censorship. But of course, all country's censor, let's not. I wonder what Tucker thinks of China. My guess is, and this is just a guess, that he despises China. He loves Russia and despises China, because China's not Christian, and Russia is. That's my guess. It looks like the conservatives and the right-wingers are all fans of Putin because he's not just an authoritarian, which they love, but he's also a Christian authoritarian.  And Putin basically says, nah, not really. I don't consider himself a Christian leader of the state. I mean, Christianity is important, but then he goes on and talks about other stuff. And it's like, Tucker's completely deflated. Completely deflated. It was so funny to watch. You guys should really watch the interview. It is an amazing interview in terms of how Putin plays Tucker and how Tucker's not getting any of the stuff he wants. None of the red meat that he wanted didn't get any of it. Didn't get any of it. It was unbelievable. It was unbelievable.  He knows exactly what he's doing. And he played Tucker completely. Tucker was hoping for all this juicy stuff that he could use for his accolades and use for his mega followers. And he got nothing nada. Putin didn't give him the NATO stuff. He didn't give them the religion stuff. And then Putin has said, I think I talked about this yesterday, Putin has said that he was very disappointed in the interview. He thought Tucker would be a lot tougher and ask some challenging questions and really push him. And he was ready for that. And he says, Tucker was like, he was such an easy interview. It was ridiculous. And he was, he played him completely. Anyway, the Chinese are finding all kinds of ways to express their frustration with what's going on. The American Embassy in China has a Waibu channel. Waibu is like a social networking thing. And it has a section. It has a section on there where they talk about all kinds of irrelevant stuff, right? Not interesting. I think, and there's a section there about talking about a giraffe. And under the section on the giraffes, suddenly, all these tens of thousands of comments from Chinese people expressing their frustration at the government, expressing the frustration of what's going on. God, just a whole slew of this. It is pretty amazing how bad it is. And the challenge in China is there's no way for it to vent. And what's going to be interesting to see is if the Chinese find a way, and if they find a way, will their mechanism for venting, will their mechanism actually be ultimately some kind of demonstration, some kind of shaking the regime to its core? But the frustration is building. The Chinese have had a taste. They've had a taste of wealth. And it's not going to be easy for them to give it up. All right, now let's do the good news. Sora. I don't know if you guys have seen the Sora thing. It's all over Twitter. It's all over social media. But Sora is a new AI app. It's an application from chat GPT. And it is, you basically write a text about a video you would like to see, right? And you would like to see, I don't know, when I saw puppies playing in the snow, you would like to see a rhinoceros, I don't know, jumping on a lion, whatever it is. And the AI will basically create it for you. I'm not talking about find it. I'm talking about create it. That is they will take images, animate them, and create the scene that you have asked for. You can imagine typing in a whole script for a movie and then having this play out as a script for a movie. I think somebody put in a story on Mars with an astronaut who's wearing underneath, I guess it's helmet, a knit, like a winter knit something you would not find, obviously, in any actually video. And Sora created it. So this ability of chat GPT, the ability of AI, of this current generation of AI, to take what you say and create stuff with it, or reorganize data based on it, and is pretty stunning and pretty amazing. And we're just seeing the beginnings of this, but it is, stuff has moved very fast since chat GPT came out last year, chat GPT, I think four came out last year. And it's super exciting. It's super exciting and to see what comes next and how it's moving forward. All right. So yeah, watch for Sora, S-O-R-A, check it out. It's pretty cool. ASML. ASML is of course the Dutch company that makes the most advanced equipment in the world for chip manufacturing. It is the only company in the world that makes these lithography machines that use, what do they use? Ultraviolet light, I think extreme ultraviolet light. There are significant steps ahead, although I've seen now that Japan has a manufacturer that makes machines based on a different principle, but they're also making phenomenal chips, but these are the best. This is, ASML is the best and they've just unveiled the next generation machine. This is a machine that costs $380 million. It's a machine that makes chips. It costs $380 million. It weighs 165 tons. 160, that's two, I think Boeing 737s, two Boeing 737s is the weight of this machine. It's double the price of the previous low EUV lithography machine, so this is double the cost, but it'll allow them now to make chips that are far more dense up to 1.7 times more dense and will allow them to print many more features with few exposures and reduce production time significantly. Anyway, this is a revolutionary machine. It won't start producing chips until sometime in 2025. The first machine has been shipped to Intel. Intel will be using it, but they will also be shipped to TCMC in Taiwan, to Samsung in South Korea, and I'm not sure who else, but basically Intel and those two Korean and Taiwanese manufacturers are the only manufacturers in the world to be producing the highest end chips and ASML is making this possible. This is pretty cool. This is really, really cutting edge, cool stuff, and one of the reasons you need these kind of chips is to power next generation AI applications. I don't know. I think, and I've said this over and over again over the last year, I think the next year is super exciting, super exciting in terms of the AI application, not next year, the next 10 years, sorry, next 10 years. As the new generation chips start coming out in 2026, 2027, all the way to 2030, and you get these new applications of AI, everything now explodes exponentially. I don't know how to imagine what that looks like in the future, but in the future, I expect that I won't even have to do these shows. I will just have a digital image of myself delivering the show and chat GPT. Having learnt from all the content that it has gained from me, having read all of Vyn Rand and Leonard Pieckoff and all the other objectives material, will present this content as well as I ever could. Jennifer's panicking. Spieman says he's not watching that. This is the thing. You won't even know what's happening. You won't even know it's happening because it'll look exactly like me. It'll say exactly what I would say. It will have exactly my sense of humor. It will ridicule Scott on the chat. If Scott ever comes back, exactly the way I have. You won't even know it. You won't even know it. I mean, I'm laughing, but I've got somebody actually, one of our fellow supporters of the Yuan Book Show is actually working right now on trying to create a basically training chat GPT on all of my shows. So turning all my videos into transcripts, having chat GPT, read all my transcripts, and then you'll be able to ask chat GPT, what would Yuan Book say about this? And chat GPT would be able to tell you. It will be the Yuan AI and I hope hopefully within a few months or a year we'll be able to release something like that. So that if you're interested in what Yuan has to say about Tech Cacaucin, you don't want to listen to all the shows. You just ask the chat GPT, what has Yuan said about Tech Cacaucin and it gives you the whole spiel. We'll call it Yuan PT. I don't know, that sounds like Yuan post-traumatic stress or something, PTSD. You're on AI.  AI, you on. I don't know. We'll see. It's going to be fun. All right, finally, you know how everybody's panicking hysteria? Probably not you guys and you're probably too young for this. But there really is a real problem. One of those things where actually the panic in hysteria is somewhat justified and that is the fact that we use as much antibiotics as we all do has really enhanced the evolution of bacteria that are resistant to the antibiotics. We can see evolution in action for those of you who might doubt evolution. Evolution in action with bacteria as they become resistant to the antibiotics that we have that exist today in the world. There are quite a few deaths every year. In the thousands, in the many thousands, I think the tens of thousands are people who die from infections they get, from bacteria resistant antibiotics. Many of those infections, by the way, happen in hospitals. I know my brother in law died of such an infection. At a hospital, he had a heart operation which went fine and then died from an infection right after the operation. Infection did not respond to antibiotics in hospital and that was in 2020. This is my sister's husband. Anyway, there is now, this is really bad part and it is. On the other hand, though, I've always had the sense that, okay, it's a scientific challenge. Somebody will come up with a solution and indeed, scientists have invented a drug candidate that really looks like it can combat antibiotic resistant superbugs. They've done it so far non-human tests but it's now, I think, ready for human tests. It was a paper published on Science Journal. On Thursday, the new antibiotic is called chressomycin. It's effective in mice against several types of bacteria that cause serious infections and increasingly resistant to existing treatments. I expected over the next five years or so, you will find a number of treatments against the bacteria resistant. Look, nature, this is the thing the environmentalists don't get. Nature is always going to try to kill us. Nature doesn't like human beings. Of course, nature doesn't ever mind but generally, nature is always trying to kill us. Bacteria, all kinds of other stuff, weather, animals, just trying to kill us. We as human beings need to constantly innovate, constantly innovate in order to protect ourselves and we can. We have a mind and that is something that allows us to conquer nature. We can subdue nature by the use of our mind and this is a great example of that. We ended with three good news stories. Sora, new AI application, ASMR, new machine that is going to blow up AI. One of the problems that a lot of people are saying with AI is it's too slow, but with these new chips that we can expect over the next five years and with just the sheer number of chips, they're going to solve the problem of slowness and get the speed so it can do all the wonderful things that we would like it to do. All right, let's jump into the Super Chat. Remind you, Super Chat is a way to support the show. You can do a sticker just for support. By the way, we've got about 170 people watching live right now. Please feel free to subscribe to the show. That'd be great to subscribe to show if you're not a subscriber that way you'll find out when I go live, but also when I publish videos, short videos, long videos, all my videos, you can subscribe to that. Also, you can, if you will, I'd really appreciate if you just give the show a thumbs up. If you like it, just like the show that helps with the algorithms a lot. Write a comment, participate in the chat, make a contribution through Super Chat, do something, engage with the show in some way. That increases, the algorithm will pick this up and promote it and enhance it and get the word out there. So just hoping that you guys engage. All right, by the way, the scholarships for the March-Iran Institute Conference in Austin, Texas, you can still apply for the scholarship until March 15th I saw today, March 15th. So please consider doing that. God, you guys, way off topic. Phil, 100-year-old D. Dave UK vet parachuted into France today, I guess, this week and was interviewed on TV last week, last week. A bit deaf, but face looked hard as nails still. He was asked about what he fought for. He paused and said, I don't know anymore.  It's not just on his behalf. I mean, the reality is, I mean, it could very well be that he doesn't remember because, you know, just memory and age and all of that. But it could very well be, and this is the way I would interpret it. What was World War II about? What were we fighting for? Freedom? I mean, is freedom that great? I mean, clearly, the subway stations in Moscow are cleaner than the ones in New York. So maybe freedom is not that good. In Singapore, the streets are unbelievably clean. They're not in Dallas, certainly not in San Francisco. So what were we fighting for? Freedom? Is freedom that big of a deal? Is that worth fighting for? Dying for? Risking your life for? Is it? I don't know.  Phil, also, at last a reason to be cheerful, Iran. Thank goodness, well-funded climate cooling ideas, as you described yesterday, are here to save us from those evil volcanoes in Iceland and such, meaning metaphysics can be ignored. Hooray! Think that way to a second. Let me see if I understand what he's saying. I mean, the volcano is actually cooling, and if the volcano erupts and we get the soot in the air, we might go into an ice age, and then we'll have to put in particles that warm the planet. So we might have to scenario, but the beauty is the human mind will always figure out solutions for these things. So why worry? Just be happy. Don't worry. I mean, the enemy is not, at the end of the day, the enemy is not nature, because nature we can figure out. Human mind is very good at solving problems created by nature. The enemy is other people. The enemy is other human being. The enemy is Putin and Tekka Carlson, and Putin and Tekka Carlson represent challenges that I think are far greater than climate change and volcanoes and ice ages. Rimo says, do you have some tips for an introvert who goes to a conference where he does not know anybody, like me at the upcoming conference in Amsterdam? So not asking for a friend. Well, I mean, it's Amsterdam. It's a conference of objectivists. Come up to me, say, hey, you're on. I'm Rimo. I'm the one who asked you about the question about the introvert. Do you mind introducing me to some people? And I'd be happy to do it. So, God, it's a conference of objectivists.  Really happy to be here. How about you guys? Where are you from?  Where are you from? Because there'll be people from all over the world, certainly America and all over Europe. So that'll be interesting. There'll be people there from Tbilisi, some really cool, a few cool people from Tbilisi. I mean, the reality is that Amsterdam will be a conference filled with introverts who will have a hard time introducing themselves to one another. So you've got to just go and do it. And my general tip is, just do it. There is no magic to this kind of stuff. You just have to say to yourself, okay, so here's a tip. You know how public speaking they tell you, just pretend the audience is naked? Or what, how bad could it get? How bad could it actually get? So here's my suggestion. How bad could it get?  You stand in silence. What'll happen? Nothing. Nothing will happen.  All right.  You stutter.  All the things that you think could happen. You discovered you forgot to put your pants on this morning. Whoops. I don't know.  None of them are that bad. None of them have consequences you cannot recover from. And then just do it. Then just do it. All right. James Taylor says, Tucker Carlson helped cultivate the anti-values, anti-reason approach. He needs to rethink the monster he helped create or double down on it for his audience and his own power trip. The latter seems more likely. Yeah, no. I think he's already doubled down on it. I think he's got exponentially worse since he left Fox. I think this charade in Moscow is the worst I've seen him by far.  I don't think there's an out for Tucker. There's no redemption. There's a point in which free will doesn't matter anymore because you're so committed to the irrationality, the irrationality you've embraced. So, Tucker's hopeless. Hopeless, hopeless, hopeless. All right. Oh, I didn't see Sivanos. They're $100. Thank you, Sivanos. Wow. That's great. Thank you. Hello, Yvonne. I'm celebrating my birthday today. Happy birthday to Sivanos. Come on everybody in the chat. Put in a little happy birthday there. You can do happy birthday balloons and stuff. You know the emojis. And I'd like you to read a few phrases for me. On God for real, for real, for real. No cap. Amy got yet. I don't even know what that says. That sounds like an issue. Not an ish me. Who is John Guile? Guite. Thank you. All right. I'm not sure what the purpose is there. On God for real, for real, for real. No cap. Amy got Guite. Who is John Guite? I don't know. All right. I read them. I don't know, Sivanos. For 100 bucks, I'm probably not willing to read anything, but I'm not sure if that was what the purpose of that was. Someday you'll have to tell me. Hopper Campbell, what is something you have learned from your audience? Oh, that's weird. Not you're weird. It's just weird. What about you learn from my audience? My audience. I think the most important thing I learned from the audience is they matter. That is, the context matters. Their attention span matters. Their focus matters. It doesn't matter what I want, what I think, what I'm comfortable with, particularly for public speaking, what matters is the audience and what they can comprehend and what they can access and what they can. If you come to my public speaking workshop, you'll hear a lot more about that and you'll hear about how I changed my ways in terms of public speaking and how I became the public speaker that I am today. So yeah, you should all come to my public speaking workshop in Amsterdam on March 11th. It's from 10 a.m., something like that to 5 p.m. It's $750 and whether you're attending the conference or not. And if you're in Amsterdam, I know there are a lot of Dutch people, a lot of Dutch objectivists. If any of you Dutch objectivists want to participate in my public speaking seminar, please participate in my public speaking seminar. Come on and join us. It'll be on, again, March 11th. It's a Monday from 10 to 5 and it'll be a lot of fun, a lot of one-on-one attention. Right now I have five people. There probably won't be more than seven or eight at most. So please, please come over. Please participate. Michael, is Switzerland the first country in Europe? Why are they so much more capitalistic than the rest of Europe? How are some countries able to resist academic left more than others? Switzerland is probably a little freer than Europe, a little bit more capitalistic than Europe. I don't really know. I think it's probably because they have this cantons, which have a lot of independence, and they have a long tradition of self-reliance and independence as individuals. They have a lot of state, particularly in banking or have had Swiss banks are not what they used to be. And so they rely on that and a lot of the income that comes into Switzerland. There's something in the spirit of the Swiss that is independent. There are independence. Maybe they've managed to avoid the world wars. I don't know. I don't know enough about the history of Switzerland. How are some countries able to resist the academic left? I don't know that countries are. The ones that have probably more of a tradition of more conservative, traditional academic study and have managed to avoid it. Now, let me be clear. Switzerland is not exactly free. It's not exactly capitalist.  So while Switzerland might be better than France, it's far from any kind of ideal. It's not a bad place to retire to. It's not a bad place if you have a lot of money to go to because taxes can be low, but also that depends on cantons. Some cantons, taxes are pretty high. Others, they're pretty low. If you want to ask me a question, then that's what the super chat is for. I don't answer questions that are just asked in the chat. So any questions you have, $2, $5, $10, $100, you can ask in the super chat. It would be unfit to the people putting money in their questions to answer questions in the chat that are not related to that are not in the super chat. Paul Ferris, Peter Zeen called Taka a Putin puppet and propagandist on his podcast. He says China will collapse within a decade and others will support Ukraine despite the perverted right. Good for Peter Zeen.  I don't agree with some of the explanations he gives. I don't agree with his over emphasis on demographics and geography, although I don't think they're irrelevant, but I think he over emphasizes. I don't think he emphasizes his ideas enough. But I like, he's got a good sense of life. He understands the good. For example, he says trade is going to collapse, but he doesn't say it gleefully. He says it tragically. He is a big believer in free trade. He is very anti-populism, but he just tells you populism is rising even though I'm against it. So I like Peter Zeen quite a bit. Yeah, that would be cool to do an event with him. I find his analysis very sharp. He's very clear. I think that's why he's so popular. Again, I think he overemphasizes certain things that I don't think should be overemphasized. He just did one on the Middle East recently that I watched. And a lot of it was very good. A lot of it was very good. And I agree with him. Whether Tucker is a knowing puppet of Putin or not, he is a puppet of Putin's, there's no question. Phil, your comments on age and presidents I beg to defer just a bit, would you turn down, would you turn down, let's say, a Charlie Munger 15 years ago? I mean, I agree with you that there are going to be exceptions. I hope I'm one of them when I'm 80. But I don't think you should govern by exception. That is, I think that you can't take the risk. And the other thing that happens when you're in your 80s, you might be fine. And then you're not. And it can happen quickly. And right now, at least, we do not have enough of a of institutional robustness, whatever the hell that means.  Ronald Reagan was losing it to his then. He was. And he shouldn't have been president. He should not have been president. The last probably two, three years. I don't think Biden should be president. And I don't think I, you know, for a lot of reasons, I don't think Trump should be president. But you know, over 80, you're pushing it. And they're real challenges. That little bunny opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance. I don't see why. Don't see why at all. Opinion can be based on knowledge and opinion can be based on ignorance. Opinion in and of itself is neutral in terms of whether it is on which side of that spectrum it's on. Clock is Russia the most soulless place in the world? I found it to be. I'll find it to be. I found it to be. As I said many times way before the stuff with Putin, and I really disliked Russia. I think I told you this, but you know, I was giving a talk in St. Petersburg. It was a packed room, probably 100 over 100 people there. And they're very friendly time ran. And they had made an introduction. It was very friendly time ran and everything. And I, and during the Q&A, somebody asked me about Putin. And this is, I don't know, 10 years ago. And I said, yeah, Putin's a thug. And I went on to explain how awful Putin was. And you can tell how the atmosphere in the room changed. It's not that they disagreed with me. It's that they felt afraid to be in the same room as me saying that. And everybody kind of took a step back. And people literally came up to me after the talk and said, Joanne, you can't say that in Russia. You can't say that publicly. You can't say that. And Putin is a thug. He's weak.  And to think of Putin as masculine is not to understand the concept masculinity. He can ride a horse shirtless. Yippie. That's not masculinity. That's not what masculinity means. Being a thug is not masculine. Anyway, I've talked about masculinity other places. And Putin is not my ideal of masculinity at all. All right. Liam, as technology improves and it becomes easy and easy to make automatic bombs, do you think this high likelihood one will be used in a terrorist attack? Yeah, so I don't know exactly what an automatic bomb is, but yeah, any tool that can be used will be used. I don't see why it wouldn't be. At some point, we will have all kinds of horrible use of technology for horrible means. Cook, if I recall correctly, Tucker praised China's regulation and crackdown on real estate speculation gaming into any content a few years ago. Yeah, you know, the other thing you just reminded me, Cook, that Tucker praised. He praised the fact that the Chinese authorities, it relates to the masculinity comment, he praised the dictate from the Chinese government to get effeminate men off of television. Can't have effeminate men be on television. That's destructive to the culture. That's the level of authoritarianism that Tucker would like in America because he praised that when China, you know, when that was in the news, that China was insisting on that.  But people love him. People like him. He's important and he's big shot.  Yeah, I mean, I'm not surprised either, saddened, continue to be saddened, but not surprised. And the idea that all leaders kill people, it just sends chills down my spine.  He killed people. Maybe he killed more people than others. But all leaders kill people. Why? Why make a big deal about Hitler? Well, Stalin or any of these guys. Philip, do you know about Balaji Swivey Sun's network states? If yes, what do you think of the concept? No, I don't know anything about it. I'm suspicious because it sounds like one of those short cuts that I don't work create a state in cyber space. But I really don't know. I shouldn't judge who knows. Maybe there's something there. Hector, I'm baffled you on many here in Iowa who are MAGA heads admire Putin. They are not thinking. They are only validating their narratives. I know. I mean, the state of America is baffling, although, you know, I told you this would happen. I predicted it. I think this is, you know, you could argue, is this a consequence of the election of Donald Trump? Or is this what has brought us Donald Trump? But either way, this is the state of America. This is the state of the rights. And this, well, but also of America more broadly, because it's some extent of response to the left. But it is baffling where the founding fathers have gone, where the ideas of liberty have gone. They're not to be found in America. I just don't see them. There's no constituency for even for Ronald Reagan, who was mild in comparison. There's just no constituency. Reagan would be laughed off the ballot today. The Republican Party has no room for Ronald Reagan. And never mind for, I mean, could you imagine what they would do with the Goldwater? I mean, it's just unthinkable what they would do to Goldwater. Michael Kaufman, I agree with you after all that has been exposed to show how Tucker has sold his soul. Why does anyone take the modern day quizzling seriously? His supporters discussed me. I'm with you completely, Michael. I mean, it really is, it really has reached the level of disgust.  But now it's been revealed completely. And instead of saying, okay, Tucker was once good. I get it. I used to admire Tucker when he was when he was better. But yeah, he's he's drawn, he's crossed the line. He's gone nuts. No, they still love him. They still and what it what it what it exposes is either the revasion or ultimately their sympathy, this sympathy for somebody like Putin, this sympathy for a tyrant, this sympathy for a strongman.  Being a tyrant is masculine. Go for it. I think those those by that standard Hamas, October 7th, incredibly masculine.  Isn't that super masculine? It's just it's just mind-boggling to me that that one could hold these concepts in that way. And then also call yourself, pretend to call yourself an objectivist. It's just state of the world, sad. All right, don't forget to subscribe if you haven't yet subscribed to the show. Andrew says, are you sure you're not understanding Tucker's evil by thinking of him as a huckster who doesn't believe in ideas? Now, look, it could very well be that he's an intellectual powerhouse, and but he's either way is a huckster.  You can't be an evil genius without evading. Donna, thank you for the support. Thanks for the sticker GF 37. Thank you for the support. Appreciate the sticker. Finally, Apollo, Zeus. What's the difference between Yiddish and Hebrew? Hebrew and Yiddish. I mean, they're completely different languages. Yiddish is basically German.  What would you call it? It's a, I don't know. It's a type of German that Jews talk to one another in the ghettos when they interact with one another. But if you know German, you can understand a lot of Yiddish. And if you know Yiddish, you can understand a lot of German. No Hebrew is there, right? No, it's not a Hebrew dialect. It's a German dialect. Yiddish is a German dialect. And Hebrew, on the other hand, is an ancient language. It is the language goes back to the times of the Bible. You know, a lot of what we know from the Bible is in Abimeic. But parts of Hebrew survived. But the way we speak Hebrew today, it's a modern language. It's a language in the early part of the 20th century was modernized. It took the basics and the roots from the biblical language, which was kept alive through the study of the Bible through prayer. Jews learned Hebrew so they could pray in Hebrew, but they didn't really talk Hebrew. They didn't know Hebrew. They didn't understand Hebrew. They understood what they prayed and that was it. But it was, Hebrew was resurrected, brought back to life in the early part of the 20th century. So it's a completely modern language. So Yiddish is a German dialect. Hebrew is a modern language based on a biblical language. Savannah says, thanks again. I consider those words from the AI. Not sure what that means. Spiderman 3000, Iran, would you watch two seasons of any TV show if 5000 was raised for you to do so? I took your price for reviewing a Tuam movie and multiplied that by the show Total Runtime. Probably, I mean, unless it was terrible, right? If you tell me it's a reasonable show, it doesn't have to be a great show, but it's a reasonable show, then I will, yeah, $5,000 definitely do it. I won't do it if it's like I'm going to suffer through every show, then I'll probably refund the money to you. But yeah, it's very likely I would do it. Unless again, the show is just painful. I'm not a masochist. All right, Yiddish is mostly a dead language. There's still some Jews who speak it in the ultra orthodox community primarily. But there's not a lot of people who speak Yiddish anymore. Periodically, there are attempts to revive the language in New York and other places, revive. There used to be Yiddish theater. There used to be Yiddish poetry. And people try to revive that periodically, but there's just no market for it. So it only exists today among the ultra orthodox, you know, primitives who live in parts of New York and in parts of Israel. All right. Thank you. Appreciate the incredible support. You guys were great today. And thank you for tolerating my anger at the world that respects Taka Carlson. And anyway, I will see you. I will see you all soon. Bye, everybody. Don't forget tonight.


Good morning. Welcome back to the why in the morning show. This is a Y254 channel. My name is Joy Mochache You can find me on Joy underscore Mochache only on Twitter But when you want to interact with this channel when you want to talk to us when you want to ask questions about this health show You can do so on Facebook and Twitter. That is Y254 channel on Instagram You can find us on Y254 underscore channel. Do remember that you can watch us. I repeat a 2 p.m That is on channel dstv 376 and today we're discussing a very important topic on health on Monday and Actually, I forgot to mention if you do want to discuss with us remember its hashtag health on Monday and hashtag why in the morning? And let me introduce our guest. We're discussing a very important topic today HIV-AIDS and we've been hearing the word being thrown around but today we have a specialist He's actually in the infectious diseases control sector So if there's someone who knows everything about this it is a man that we have on set today allow me to introduce Dr. Leon Ogotti Karibu Sanna Yes, Karibu Dr. Gotty Yes, yeah, I work in infectious diseases and I have also trained in infectious diseases. Okay. Yeah, okay What do people in infectious disease do exactly just briefly? people in infectious disease I Think the most interesting part is when you see Ebola in Congo and all these people running around those are infectious disease people but generally infectious disease people treats Every kind of disease that is contagious. I mean that can be passed from me to you so anything think of the flu think of Malaria think of HIV think of TB Anything any infection that's caused by something from outside to in that goes into your body Yeah, that's what infectious disease. So that's what you focus on a day-to-day basis. Okay, and today we're discussing in particular HIV AIDS and you know, we are on a youth channel. This is why 254 and you know, most of the time We'd like to angle our discussion into something or you can understand. So let's just jump right in let's start first of all by Maybe letting our youth know made those who don't know when it comes to HIV AIDS What is this virus exactly very briefly and what does it mean for somebody who may carry it? so HIV as you said is a virus and Having HIV means you've been infected by the virus. That's it. It doesn't mean anything else Doesn't mean you're sick. It just means you have the virus inside you with HIV has proven to be very difficult because of the rate at which it multiplies It multiplies very fast. Okay. Yeah, so it produces many many copies in a very short period of time after the virus the primary virus gets into your body and in addition to that Viruses are generally difficult to treat or Let's say impossible. There are usually no cures for viral infections Most of them. It's very hard to cure them. Yes. Yes. So you have a virus that's Multiplies very fast. Yes kills yourselves and kills the cells that Contribute to your immunity so you have a virus that multiplies very fast is difficult or currently impossible to treat and It kills of your immunity. So now you become susceptible to any other infection So you have this infection that has made you immune system so weak that now you can get any other infectious disease Yeah, so your chances are a lot higher.  Okay And before we go verifying the conversation Maybe I can point out that even though people may have HIV or AIDS that they are able to live a normal life through medication and Antiviral medication and all those things and counseling even and I hear actually that wonderfully and very Fortunately that there's even online websites that have come up to match HIV couples together. So there's there's hope when it comes to that but moving right along Maybe we can touch on a different issue Because for us we'd like to focus on statistics when it comes to youth Well, we hear that the people who do carry the HIV virus amongst all of them the percentage Who do carry the highest of it are the young people? Maybe age from the age of 15 up until 35. Yes Could you maybe speak a bit about this and maybe focus on Kenya as a whole or Africa? Okay? So in Kenya we have about 1.5 million people infected with HIV So 1.5 about 1.5 million people infected with HIV and as you said the biggest chunk Should be the youth actually the cohort that's going to see that most important is 15 to 24 15 to 24. Yeah, because Why is that because that's when people are oriented into sex, right? And you see at the age of 15, there's a lot of ignorance around sex at that time, right? So you're more likely to do things that you'd not want to do or to be forced into sex and get infected Subsequently, so it's because this is a very vulnerable age group Right and people are transitioning from childhood into adulthood and there's a lot of confusion at that time, so They can be confused with money. They can be tricked, you know So many things that are contributed to people getting HIV at that time as compared to all the people who make decisions Okay, we assume they make logical decisions It's not necessarily true, but there better place to make decisions around that So Yes, so we we do have a big chunk of the youth infected, but the biggest problem we have in Africa is Data we don't have a lot of data. We don't do enough studies. We don't have enough information and Now we also have a lot of Undiagnosed patients a lot of people are diagnosed and diagnosed Okay, so we have a lot of people working around with HIV, but they don't know and Our surveillance surveillance is actively seeking cases May not be the best Because we mostly rely on a hospital surveillance, which is you come to the hospital then maybe we test you But if you don't fall sick Then how no one will ever know we don't do much community outreaches to go and test Yeah, and self-sustaining kids have just been introduced But we are not we can't really say that we know how many people Have HIV estimates can be given, but they're also given by outsiders, but in ourselves We haven't done enough studies. We don't do enough outreach to actually identify all the cases that we have Yeah, and before we move into how the youth may Contract the virus. Maybe we can touch on something that you have said a lot of people walking around with This and it's not diagnosed. They're walking around with HIV Maybe it's even become AIDS at some point and they're walking that have no idea. It's not been diagnosed They've not gone for testing. Yeah, might you have any idea why as a doctor? It's because and like Most other infections the incubation period can be a long time. What is a good period? The period between when you get infected that when you start seeing your symptoms, right? So it can be a very very long time ears. Okay, so you see unlike the flu where if I Come into contact with you and you sneeze in my face and I pick up the virus in three four days I'll be sneezing. I'll have a sore throat But now you see if you're talking about a disease that takes years that means I get infected today There's nothing to show me that I'm sick and because I am not thinking that I might be sick I won't go and test because there's also a lot of stigma people are even more afraid to test than if If you know people are now more afraid to test for HIV because I'm afraid they might have it Yeah, so because it takes such a long time for you to have any kind of symptoms It might take it takes different duration, but it can take a long time So that makes it very difficult because if you're not exhibiting symptoms, then how do you know that you you're sick? you have to take the initiative of going to the hospital and Asking for the test to be done such you can know now many people are not willing to do that That means they wait until they get sick or they wait until a partner gets sick then tells them a I've been found with this you might want to go and get tested Yeah, so that's how we end up having so people who are out there, and they're really normal very healthy They look very normal, right? I have you brought up something very interesting and I think we'll touch very at the very end Maybe you can be thinking about it Maybe we'll touch on why some countries have decided to put a Death penalty on somebody who does not disclose the fact that they have HIV But that we shall leave for the end now We need to go forward and talk about exactly why our youth because they don't know that they have it Yeah, which means their ways that they're contracting it and Maybe they know they're getting it or they don't know they're getting it Yes, can we talk about the ways our youth are contracting HIV AIDS because yes There's the normal intercourse way, but I believe that they're more Avenues our youths are able unfortunately to contract this virus. Okay, so So HIV transmission is mainly it's Is transmitted through body fluids? So when you say body fluids are talking about blood You're talking about semen. You're talking about vaginal blades and also leads and talking about breast milk So mainly those five yes, so because you're not yet to talk about Mother-to-child transmission. We want to talk about the youth.  Yes, so three out of those for our life Not saliva. Okay, three out of those four assets related. Yes One is blood and now blood we look at mostly people who use injectable drugs And people who use injectable drugs tend to share needles because expensive the drugs are expensive But then you want to burden them with the cost of buying a new series in each time They want to shoot up. Maybe I don't know many times they shoot up three or four times a day And you want them to buy different series in each time. They'd rather spend the money on the drugs So they share needles most junkies are sharing needles and sharing needles blood is contaminated So you end up having HIV and also other Blood-borne diseases you could have hepatitis being transmitted in the same form So when we're looking at transmission, it's either drag users who are sharing needles That's a main one-way and sex. So for sex is heterosexual sex and Homosexual sex so for heterosexual sex It's I Mean it's pretty much the same as it's always been It's just that I think of late we're seeing a lot more It's become very mainstream sex is being is very mainstream when Media it's like a way to yes It's become very kind even the kind of songs people are singing about the things that have been shown So sex is has become very mainstream heterosexual sex, but in the background you also have men who have sex with men and that's contributing a lot to HIV cases in the West Like in the States we have Majority of the men who are getting infected with HIV are having sex with our men In the US majority of them who are infecting other people are homosexuals Not necessarily Homosexuals, I don't know if they are or they are not because they might be having homosexuals and heterosexuals But yeah, but at least they're having sex with men. So that's a major way of contracting the risk of contracting HIV if you have Among men who have sex with men is higher much higher than Man, I mean a regular heterosexual sex. So it's a increased the higher chance of getting HIV through that Form so it's basically about just if you look at how it changes that have been made The changes that are happening in sex Yeah, so it's become very rampant. It's a lot more reckless. I don't have people are having Three psalms and orgies all these things I've recently I learned and I was so surprised and I swear I would pinch my children if I had children When I get them I am learning that the things like sex parties Parties solely dedicated for intercourse of all kinds and I'm thinking to myself really how you're gonna walk out of there without infection Yeah, how you're definitely walking out with an infection of some sort But back to the conversation at hand Maybe we cannot touch on what our country is trying to do because I feel like we've Exhausted our measures if we have advocated we have advocated if we have gone online We've gone online if we have advertised and held up placards if we have marched to the streets We have done everything we can to Express and to show the problem that there is in HIV AIDS and the spread but still it continues to spread and not even that It's even rising. Yeah. Yeah, it's like getting worse and not only that it's getting worse amongst our youth What are we doing wrong? What what do you think we're doing wrong as as an expert when it comes to infectious disease control? so It's true that the incidence of HIV is rising I think in a study a global study done in 2015 by international health metric evaluation showed that Cases of HIV are the new cases of HIV have actually increased Okay, they're measured in as a decrease So it's if it's decreasing by 2% every year then this year decreases by 1% we can see that there are more people who are getting HIV, right? so and Kenya was one of the countries so the 74 countries that were listed as having increasing cases of HIV in Kenya was one of the 74 When you see we've exhausted our measures We haven't because The measures that are in place. It's not that they are not working Because you see for example if I give you drug X to treat disease A Then you take it and you don't get better. Then you say it's not working But if you take it and you get better then you someone else doesn't take it and doesn't get better You don't say it's not working. You find ways to improve because this measures work and if they were Used a hundred percent they work. They actually do work abstinence works Abstinence does work abstinence does work. It does work. Wow. So that's a one measure. We've not exhausted We've not exhausted that people can abstain it was staying Yeah, because even if you walk into workplaces work areas in the toilets everywhere. They're condoms everywhere with yes But that's the one thing abstinence is the one thing we've not tried to Push for and once I think when you speak it you either look like a religious fanatic or something Yeah, but it works. It's I mean I Don't know what people's perceptions of abstinence are but if you can abstain Abstain at least for people who are under the age of eating because we're talking about 15 to 24 years So at least before you feel like you're at the age where you can make Logical decisions sensible decisions are able to live with the consequences of your decisions. You can abstain. That's the best option Okay We are talking about Because we still work with ABC the government as well as talking about ABC Abstinence be faithful and use condoms People can be faithful. It works. It's a strategy that works if the man and the woman in a marriage are both faithful And why is the HIV going to come from if they're not using it? It doesn't come into the picture Yes, but if you're not faithful or you you're not abstaining, that's fine Then if you're in a relationship, you're not abstaining. That's fine But if you're not being faithful then now you've complicated the matter because we always know that You're not faithful. You're not faithful. This is not faithful And I mean it's a long long chain of a lot of unfaithful people at some point if HIV comes into the picture It comes into the picture the whole picture Okay, so we have kind of you know come to the conclusion that Abstinence I think is the best thing and being faithful and you know using contraceptives and condoms So I feel as if maybe we can move on to that one question. I said that we're going to touch on we're leaving Kenya now We're going overseas There are measures that people are taking overseas to curb HIV AIDS Since we have talked about the measures we've taken here in Kenya and what we have done and how it's going Maybe we can talk about how do you feel as a doctor when it comes to The countries where for example if you somebody Engages in intercourse and they have HIV and they don't tell that person that they have HIV That person can take that person to court on charges of murder because essentially you're killing them And essentially you are taking and they will die at some point. Yeah, and I hear that Yeah, this does come because people taking it seriously like if you don't tell me I'm taking you to court and if I do find out that you had it I will Make sure you get a life of the death penalty or something. How do you feel about this? And do you think that it's too extreme or do you think it's a measure we can take here in Africa? I Yes, what you've said is true. It is Technically it is reckless in the instrument Because you're putting someone at risk of something and you're aware you see if you don't know then it's different Yes, but if you know then you're intentionally infecting someone. Yes, whether you Intend to do it or not if you do it, then you are intentionally putting them at risk. So In that case you could look at it like that. I Really don't have an opinion on What should happen under the law and I don't know what happens because I mean, you know There's really no way of saying I knew unless maybe you know, they are taking drugs, but most people don't even know so I Think I would leave out a pin there. I mean if you would not be an opinion if I wouldn't like to give an opinion but if the people who make laws Find Because it is a big problem. It's costing the government a lot of money and is costing And we also losing a lot of economic output from people being sick Don't you think for such an extreme problem that maybe extreme measures Yes, if you're an extreme thank you for answering the question You were saying yeah, so Yeah, I mean if lawmakers choose to go that way then maybe Maybe yeah, because we also have a similar problem with this is like TB There are people who are sick and you know TB is very easy to transmit because you're seated in a matter to I have TB when we leave I've Given it to all of you.  That is a problem. Yeah, so maybe it after measures are required I don't know how that would be done. Okay. Yeah, well, I would give a direct answer But I'll say for you know for extreme cases Let's have extreme measures and we need to conclude our segment I'd like for us to now talk about when it comes to our young people in stigma Because lastly the thing that bothers people the most is if I have HIV first of all I can't tell anybody and it's embarrassing like even going to get medication is a problem Not even that Just going for testing is an issue Maybe you can try and tell our youth Through the words of an expert of infectious disease control and through being the experience of a doctor how you could Assist our youth in maybe taking this as a serious problem Do get tested every six months, especially if you're if you know, you're sexually active Make sure you're getting tested a couple times a year not just once a year And yes, I'd like for you to give those details through on how someone can carry the measures through because at the end of the day We're not going to stop by young people from having sex. We can't do that But we need to give measures on how they can protect themselves So in HIV can treatment we there's something called the 1990 90 rule. So that's in 90 so the UN AIDS and the WHO and CDC trying to have 90% of people Diagnosed 90% of people the HIV diagnosed 90% of the people who are diagnosed on treatment 90% of those on treatment having their viral load suppressed Which means it's all low that It won't have any factor in your immunity So you'll live very normally and secondly you will chances of you transmitting it to anyone else Very slim because if you're working with numbers of the virus being transmitted They're so low in your system that you can even pass it to anyone else So there's that but you see the first 90 years test So that's the biggest problem that we have because people are not testing when you speak about stigma It's a biggest reason why people are not testing because when I go test first of all, what is your pain? What is the how does a person who's testing me look look at me? That's what I think The people are trained and their counselors and they've seen a lot of these cases and they take it just as any other disease But what is their perception that you think they have of you once you test in your positive? It's a problem. And once you're positive what you do, would you tell you can tell anyone you feel isolated? So I find that even where I work People will come from very far to come and pick their drugs from there because they don't people that they have a place Where they live to know so they go very far to be seen somewhere else where nobody knows them Yeah, even the pharmacist doesn't know them Yeah, nobody knows them the community doesn't know them. So it's so stigma is a very big problem It's stopping people from getting from getting tested now if we can't test then we can treat So if we can't treat then we more of us are getting sick so the most important thing is We need to end the stigma we need to end the discrimination because someone who has HIV has the infection and doesn't have AIDS and is on treatment is It's just like anyone else. I mean they're very normal member of society. They do everything very well. Yes They can live for and they live for a long time. So We shouldn't really discriminate against these people We should be encouraging each other because the more people get tested and treated The less likely I am to get it because I don't have anyone to collect it from okay So then and lastly and final this is the last question because you mentioned something We do need to wind up because you then politics will be coming through I've heard a quote Very briefly if you can say that if you don't have HIV you're not in fashion or even worse HIV is just a disease like any other cut to home. Oh my god as much as you can live a normal life Can you explain the difference between living a normal life and carrying this? In why in actual in conclusion so that we can close the show down. Okay, so the difference is the diseases that with you contract they Can't recover or you get better after a while or their Impacts on your body is not so severe But with HIV if you get HIV and you don't you don't get tested and you don't start your treatment You only live normally if you're on treatment if you don't start your treatment It knocks out your immunity completely. So you have Almost no immune cells. So you will get many other infections and it will take you down That's a difference between so many other diseases and HIV. So yes, if you're in treatment, you'll be okay but if you're not You will not be okay Right, there is no chance and the only way you can be on treatment is by getting tested and so yes Please anyone out there if you know that you're having a sexually active life tough for that You do get tested several times a year and I forget about this take my even if it means going far away like doctor said Unfortunately, this thing has to be done do get tested so you can get treated so you can save your own life Thank you so much for tuning in. It has been wonderful. Asante Sanna for coming to the show Dr. Leon Ogoti. Thank you for having me.

I've been tired and sore pretty much every single day of the build so far, but we are making some incredible progress. There is still something gonna go there that I haven't said what's going there, and you won't find out for a couple more videos because we have to go to town, well city tomorrow, which is an hour away, because we have to get some supplies for this stuff. You ready to rock and roll today? Oh yeah, I'm gonna do something today that will, if you want to, reveal what that hole is right there. No, it still won't reveal it. You don't think so? No, I don't think so. Alright. Because we don't have the other supplies that we need in town. That's true. They might be able to guess it better. That's right. Throw your best guesses at this one because we don't know if you're gonna know what's going on, but we know that you know that we know that you don't know that we know you know what I'm saying. Let's get to work. Also today I picked up some tin snips because I got to cut the ceiling and make a hole for the really cool ceiling fan going on the roof. Just drilling out some rivets. Why is that? Because I gotta weld something in here. Oh, that's a hint. Yeah, that needs these rivets gone. I don't know how to explain it without giving it away. Alright, so next hint is we're drilling out some rivets. Also, something I noticed. I don't really get a sunburn up here. I think my fair white skin likes the higher latitudes and yeah, I don't know. We've been in the sun for quite a while and neither one of us has gotten burnt. Even that's kind of like... Yeah, I don't usually burn too much though. Just historically, you know. I think I mentioned I was having some difficulty with the Wi-Fi. I'm gonna try and get that sorted out. You're not gonna see this until after a gap and then about eight videos or so. So it's kind of hard to go back in time in the videos and stuff. You know what I'm saying. Anyways, we don't have Wi-Fi. We don't have really internet. We have a half a gig a day from our US carriers but we're gonna go mass upload and hopefully there won't be any more hiccups until the... Well, really, any more for the whole build-up here. What are you working on now there? That secret project. Oh, on this side or that side? Because apparently we have two. No, no, it's gonna be over there. I'm just cutting it over here. Oh. Do you need a hand or a foot? I will need one a second. I need to make one more mark and then we're gonna cut it. Cool. Heat is radiating off of the roof. This dark square, not the first one, that's what we're gonna be cutting out. We tried to do a chalk line from middle to middle but we kind of screwed up yesterday just a little bit. We were just off by like, I don't know, half inch or something. So anyways, this is where the Max Fan's gonna go. That area is gonna be something else which is I guess the third secret of the day. We're gonna have an AC unit back there, something else back there, you know, something else. I guess the fourth secret back there. I'm just not really, you know, giving you guys too much info right now. So anyways, let's begin. Soaking the sun. Huh? This thing's so hot. Is it? Why don't you just flip it over? What are you doing over there? Another secret project? So, not many secrets. I still got my Canadian soup badge. That's right. That's right. Not too many secrets revealed. I just drilled four holes in this thing and then we're gonna use those things and then it's gonna be gone. Dean would be very disappointed with my tin-snipping skills.   Third time's charm. Maybe the inversion up here is about the twelfth time. Let's see if it works. Perfect enough. All right. I have a feeling that you guys are pretty smart people and you can figure out how it works from there.  Now I'm gonna help this guy with more of the top secret thing that we're doing. And it looks like we're making our rectangle. Is that correct? Something like that. Oh, I hope it's a rectangle. Bye, boss, and give you something better. Ladies and gentlemen, let us introduce the Double Skylight! This is Michael Führer, Navigation Nowhere Himself. Look at all the light in this thing. Well, that's gonna be a Max fan. But look at all the light in this thing right there. Dude, in the couches, I mean, the design, the design's gonna allow for great seating with the skylight for stargazing and just wonderful sky views of clouds going by and, I don't know, whatever else. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? Look what we did.  It's like a convertible right now. Yeah. And if anyone's wondering, don't worry, we are gonna re-support the roof and, you know, the jacks will be safe. Probably side-to-side, I'm guessing, because you can't. Yeah. Also, those aliens from the other night give us some invisible steel. It's gonna be reinforced parallel with these right here and right here. Well, what do you have to say for yourself? Sorry. Alright, so just so you guys know who we're dealing with here, we have Michael and he's very organized, so we just took everything out, put it over there. We cleaned up this big old mess, which we would have had to clean up sooner rather than later, so that was good. That's a junk pile. That over there in the distance is a recycle metal. We got the last remaining panel out and Michael is completely crazy and he's bare-handing that fiberglass insulation. It is, like, my least favorite thing in the world, I think, besides mosquitoes. I think it's just anything that makes me itch and this stuff is like, we got gross it is. So, basically, I'm just gonna take this little here thing and I'm just gonna vacuum the roof ceiling.  Fiberglass insulation.

Well, as you can see, I'm, well, the deaf room organizer for today. We have a very nice program, I think. It was a bit of struggle sometimes because this year quite a few people had to cancel because they had problems with getting visa and things like that arranged in time. But anyway, I hope we still have an interesting program. Just a few things for you. I don't know, who has been at POSDM before? Okay, so more or less half of you, okay? So, okay, let's turn off this sound. Maybe some important things to know. One thing you will see is that we have a schedule which is completely full. It means there is no breaks. If you want to break, you just skip the talk. So choose one which you don't really like or it's not that much into your interest field. The reason why we do that is that, well, there are a lot of deaf rooms and if everyone makes a break at 12 o'clock, then everyone will go to these few places to eat and it will just not work. So that's the reason why we do it like that. Also, we want to give as many people as possible a chance to talk. In case you really want to see everything, there's one person. I think he's building rock climbing maps with OpenStreetMap who indicated to me that actually he wanted to give a short presentation but I gave him a block as long as he was. So his talk will probably be shorter. So maybe that's a good time to skip to run out. Some other things. I don't know if some people are here with a lot of luggage. It's still okay. But there's a cloak room in the K building. Why do I say it? Because at one point the room might be full of people and then if people bring a lot of these big bags and stuff like that, it's getting like unpleasant. Yes. About food. If you want to get food, if you go out, there's like the main avenue. There are a few food trucks who will open soonish and then you can get some things there. Yes. What else? I might just put this. If you go out this building and to the right, there's the H building. There's a small info desk there. There you can get like a flyer with all other things happening at FOSDOM just in case you don't know it. Of course, you can check through the website fosdom.org and look at it from there. Some remarks for the speakers. We have blocks of 30 minutes. The idea is that we have 25 or that we have 20 minutes talk and then 5 minutes or something like that for discussion. And then another 5 minutes where the next one can prepare. You can still discuss a little bit in smaller groups. But then we can definitely start in time. It's important that we start in time because we are parallel with other tracks. Some people they might want to see a talk in another room and then come here so we have to keep good the schedule. And for that reason or another reason is that we are recording. So you can see I'm wearing a microphone. If you go to the website, it's called live.fosdom.org there you can watch all the live streams. So in case this room is full, which might happen you can still pick up a talk there. We will also publish videos of the presentations. Yes. That's the last thing I want to say is that full is full. If we put a sign that the room is full you cannot enter. This is for fire safety measures and stuff like that. So don't make us angry. Just stay outside and wait until you can enter. Well, that was basically my talk. I will now pass the word to Petrien who will be talking about free watch. And he can explain much better than I what it is.
