So Jake Paul's organization, team 10, finally responded to the transphobic situation and all I could say is yikes. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel what I try to do is take different topics from the YouTube community, try to see what lessons we can pull from them to improve our own mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. And yeah, let's talk a little bit about this.  And yeah, so let me just recap the story real quick. So team 10, those lovely lovely guys of team 10, they invited a bunch of women over to their house. And I'm going to be talking about that later in this video because that in and of itself like, but anyway, so anyways Lila and Kendall go over to that house and yeah, they ended up getting kicked out. And here is a clip of what happened. What do you mean she's not a girl? You literally just said she's not a girl. What do you mean she's not a girl Blaine? What do you mean it's fine? I'm not trying to be disrespectful. I'm just being real. Then why do you say she's literally not a girl and like look at her? It's just like, why would you do that? Because I was told. You were told what? I was told their girls were coming. Okay, good. Girls are here. Oh. Period.  Like what? What is happening? Like it's 2019 and the amount of this stuff that I still see absolutely blows my mind. Like last month during Pride Month, I made a video on the Catholic priest who spoke out against Pride Month and said it was damaging to children. I still get comments on that video to this day with the most ridiculous stuff and here's a few of them on the screen and I'm like what? What is happening? So here's the thing, not only and you know, like this is why. This is why commentary channels like mine exist, okay? Because like people are such an influence on other people, right? Like especially if you have a following, they are influencing other people and when I saw this all going down, like when it first happened on Twitter and everybody was talking about it, like the comments I saw were just absolutely heartbreaking. All right? Like I saw so many comments of people being like, oh, oh, I don't like Team 10 but I agree with them on this and you know, yeah, they want a real women and blah, blah, blah.  And that is one of the scariest parts about the internet is that with when people have this like this mask on and they're completely anonymous online, they could just say the most horrible, terrible, terrible things and like I can't imagine, I can't imagine the experience that Lila and Kendall went through. Like you could see like they were really hurt by this, right? And then to have this story blow up and then have that many comments, like hopefully they didn't see all of those ridiculous transphobic comments, but like if they did, like that is awful and it just breaks my heart and like something else that came up around this time was Cole Kerrigan. So those of you who don't know who he is, he's an awesome makeup artist and like I think he first got some like publicity when he did. He was invited as a guest on Jeffree Star's channel and he did some makeup there. Well, anyways, he recently went over to the Team 10 house and he dressed up Jake Paul and Tana as you know, the Joker and Harley Quinn, which is so cliche. But anyways, he talked about on Twitter around the time that this happened that he, he experienced some homophobic stuff as well in that house. So anyways, after this whole thing happened, I guess one of the managers of Team 10 was trying to silence Lila and Kendall by saying like, don't talk about this, don't do this or whatever. Like I think they were like threatening like legal stuff potentially or they were just like kind of vaguely saying like, we're going to come after you legally if you do this. And one of the managers calls me and was like, we didn't want that to happen.  What are you saying? What are you saying?  All I said was that can you guys please leave? Because we're trans. No. That's not why. What do you mean? No. Go get Adam then. Period. Period. They really locked us out of the house. They literally locked us out. Did they not? Yeah. I'll definitely call you, but like I'm happy to call you. Which is absolutely mind blowing. Like, like this is only going to make you look worse, but anyways, anyways. So it came out that Team 10 released a response. And here's what it said. Team 10 official statement, Jake Paul and Team 10 have continuously embraced the LGBTQ community with open arms and a commitment to use the brand's substantial social media platforms to raise awareness and support for everyone within the LGBTQ community and beyond. There is simply no room whatsoever for ignorance on matters of sexuality and gender identity, which is why we take the matter at hand very seriously. We have lost a full internal investigation into the matter to determine exactly what is unfolded and the full context so we can take appropriate steps as a brand and team to ensure that lessons are learned, accountability is placed and misunderstandings like this never happened again. So yeah, I saw this because Lila tweeted it and she was basically like, like, what, what do you mean? Investigate. Like there was video proof. Like there was video evidence of what happened. So yeah, like when I read this and I actually, you know, retweeted it as well and like, here's the thing. Like this is such a manipulation. Like you guys, like we have to remember, like actions speak louder than words, okay? Actions speak louder than words. So when I saw Team 10 saying this and talking about how supportive they are and everything like that, like, like they were acting like they just threw like a pride parade in honor of the LGBTQ community. Like what, like what in God's name are they talking about? Like on Twitter, I actually said, like, if you can show me like one example, like just one example of them supporting the LGBTQ community in any way, shape or form with their millions of millions of millions of dollars, like I'll stand corrected, right? And like, no, it doesn't count just having a gay man come over and do your makeup. That doesn't mean you're supportive of the LGBTQ community, right? Like I'm half black and what I think about when I see that it's like, it's like people who are like, Oh, I can't be racist. I got a black friend. You know what I mean? Like, like what? So it's such a manipulation to say that, to say that they've been nothing but supportive for this community. But the reality is, and like, I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised at all. Like, like, we know, we know who Team 10 is, we know the type of dudes they bring in there. This isn't a surprise. This isn't a shock in any way, shape or form. You know what I mean? But the last thing I want to talk about, like this whole situation with Lila and Kendall aside, like, like, God, like this is a house where they just like invite women over, like with the pure intention of hooking up. Like if you're going to have a house and like party and things like that, like cool, like I was young and I threw a bunch of parties and everything. But like what, like, it's, it almost seems like they're running like an escort service, right? Where they use their clout as a form of payment. You see what I mean?  So I don't know. If you, if you were a young woman in the Los Angeles area or traveling the Los Angeles, like just really think about it before you go to the Team 10 house. Like remember, like when they had the big old party there, not that long ago and women were, you know, allegedly drugged and everything like that. Like this is not a good place to go. All right. Be safe and protect yourself and be mindful of what these dudes' intentions are. All right. Like they have built a brand off of this. And this is something that I've been talking about when it comes to Jake Paul for so long. Like Jake Paul, like the head dude of Team 10, like when it came to like his relationship with Alyssa Violet that we saw in the Shane Dawson documentary series and then afterwards with Erica Costell, like Jake Paul is somebody who finds like Instagram models with the pure intention of just hooking up with them and he, he claims that he's going to help them get exposure and all these other things like. So we know what their brand is all about. We know what Jake Paul is all about. So just be careful. Like I know it might be fun and cool to go hang out at the Team 10 house, but just remember these stories. Remember who these people are. All right.

Okay, good morning everyone. All right, so good morning to our students here online as well All right, so let's just begin with a word of prayer. So just leave it open Any one of us can please pray for we start Go ahead. Thank you Jesus for this time. Thank you Lord for the state as you've given us and Lord as as we've gathered here together to Learn more about you more about your world Lord, I pray that you open our minds open our hearts to be able to understand what you have to say through foster Paul and Thank you Jesus for your presence here that you're with us. Thank you for everything you name my prayer in and Man all right, so Last week we've been talking about we spent a lot of time talking about from the cross to the throne We talked about paradise Abraham's bosom How what is happening right now? Where do we go after we? Pass where are those who are you know going to be after the those who don't believe in Christ? Where are they going to be so we talked a lot about that? Let's get into chapter 16 the power of his resurrection Right the power of his resurrection now We see that Jesus right. He came he lived this wonderful life. He died on the cross and he rose again Right now. What is there in the resurrection? Well, why was it just why wasn't it you know this Jesus died on the cross paid for our sins? And when we believe in him We will be new creation And the reason is That had to be overcome Right, so what what the enemy brought in was that? Jesus overcame that by resurrecting from the dead now. It was not for a show It was not like Jesus is saying okay. I'll do this because I want to do it. No There is power in the whole aspect of resurrection Right, so let's look at that.  Right. Don't you feel that's the greatest testimony? Is there any other testimony bigger than that? Not really, right? Let's look at these points first one Resurrection power in the early church now when the Lord Jesus he resurrected before resurrection he was walking in the anointing in the power of the Holy Spirit and After the resurrection, what did he do acts 1-8? He said I will pour out my spirit and you will be witnesses Right, you will receive power to be a witness. So along with the resurrection power He is imputing in us the authority that he walked in He's imputing in us the the the same Sonship the same spirit that he walked in he's imputing in us Some of you any of you remember the word impute Remember we talked about it impute impute means to just give it Is this the name the authority is just given Right, so there's a CEO of a company and then he decides My son will take over the business. Now this person doesn't know anything about business But the CEO has decided hey This fellow will be the next leader What'll happen? He just imputes that authority upon him whether he knows whether he doesn't know that a secondary Right, so imputed is just given the same way the resurrection power Is just given to each one of us right and we see that in the early church and there are plenty of verses Let's read a couple of them Acts chapter 2 Verses 22 to 36, maybe one of us can read that acts to 22 through 36 acts chapter 2 22 to 36 Diseases delivered up according to the definite plan of foreknowledge of God you crucified and killed by the hands of flawless men God raised him up Losing the pants of death Because it was not possible for him to be held by it Can you read that again? We couldn't hear anything what you said 36 36 to Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ diseases whom You crucified That's it Okay, let's read acts 3 1 through 16 3 1 to 16 Act chapter 2 Act chapter 3 1 to 16 now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer The 9th hour and a man lame from birth was being carried whom they laid Daily at the gate of the temple that is called the beautiful gate to ask arms of those enter entering the temple Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple he asked to receive arms and Peter directed his gaze at him as did John and said look at us and he fixed his attention on them Except expecting to receive something from them, but Peter said I have no silver and gold But what I do have I give to you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth Rise up and walk and he took him by the right hand and raised him up and Immediately his feet and ankles were made strong and Leaping up to the stood up his stood and began to walk and entered the temple with them Walking and leaping and praising God and all the people saw him walking and praising God and Recognize him as the one who sat at the beautiful gate of the temple asking for arms And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. Okay. Oh, we'll stop there So the point is all these chapters Talk about what the disciples did after the resurrection Right and when you go on through the book of Acts we see so many miracles Picture Peter. He's walking and the shadow of his of his is healing people Right your apostle Paul gets bit by a snake. He takes it throws it away They did wonderful miracles. How because the resurrection power was there with him, right and After the early church, we see that, you know, a lot of things came in the church was, you know Controlled by other people the Romans and all of that yet the next point Resurrection power is available for all believers Right. It's available for all of us All of us can tap into this resurrection power The power that God exerts towards us who believe is the resurrection power The same power with which Christ was raised from the dead Imagine that right imagine Jesus his body is laying there in the tomb The same power that God the Father used to exert to make this body of Jesus come back alive That same Holy Spirit is working in you and me Right and this power is available for all of us. Now the point here is It is available, but we have to tap into it Understand, right? It's available. It's there We have to tap into it and if we want to walk in resurrection power we have to tap into his power And when we tap and we receive If we don't tap in, you're not going to receive Right? Revelation 1.17 and 18. Let's read that. It's a wonderful verse Revelation 1.17 and 18 He who has an ear let him hear what a spirit says to the churches To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manner to eat And I will give him a white stone and on a stone A new name written which no one knows except him who receives it Yeah So he's talking here about in revelations The Lord Jesus is trying to bring out the whole aspect. He's talking to the churches that he's saying Verse 1 chapter 1 verse 17 says when I revelations 1 17 when I saw him I've what did you read? Okay, 117 When I saw him I fell at his feet as though dead Then he placed his right hand on me and said Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last I am the living one. I was dead and behold I am alive forever and ever and I hold the keys of death and Hell Now this is the first time This is the beginning of the of the revelation that john is getting Through jesus christ through the holy spirit And when this entire chapter potions before that talks about how jesus looks in his glorified form And then he he tells john here very powerful Right when I saw him I fell at his feet as if dead But then he placed his right hand verse 18. I am the living one. I was dead and behold. I am alive forever more Right.  Now to have the keys means to have authority to have power Right. We've talked about it before You have the authority who has the key to this bible college One of you has a You have authority Right Whoever has the keys now in the natural keys is authority and the same way in the in the Spiritual when you have keys The lord jesus is saying you have the power of death and hell You have the power And so it's like jesus is taking the key and he's giving the key and he's saying here you use it Again If we have the key and we behave like we don't have the key Nothing can be done Right imagine jesus is saying i'll give you the key take the key Okay, thank you jesus and put the key in your pocket And then we go about doing everything So god, please help me. What's happening? Lord jesus is saying hey, I gave you the key All you need to do is start opening it and tapping in No, but I can't open the key lord The lock is too hard No, you got to try You keep trying Use the key don't just leave it in your pocket Right Resurrection power is the power that comes that overcomes all power of the enemy Resurrection power is the power that overcomes working of sin and that You know every time we'll talk about The blood as well next section every time we take the lord stable What are we emphasizing? What are we declaring?  You just don't realize it And there are times when I come in I'm just so tired and weak and got body pains And we take the lord stable. What are we declaring his resurrection? It's all of a sudden. Hey, I didn't pray for it. I didn't pray lord. Jesus. Please heal my body Or please remove all my sickness. I didn't pray But when I'm when we are taking part in the lord's table In faith We are tapping into the resurrection power What happened to that the portion that we just read Peter and John went to pray They met this layman Then brought healing through the resurrection power right and so Some of the things we'll talk about this even in the lord's table But some of the things that we can do to tap into This resurrection power is partaking in the lord's table Continuing and prayer continuing and you know, how many of you god has really spoken to you during this month of prayer? It should have happened right and you make a note of it. I made a note of so many things that God has spoken to me. I believe that you know, I need to tap in To receive more god has spoken God has ministered, but it's not going to end there. No Yes, I know right. We need to tap in we need to ask more of god Through the power of the holy spirit the resurrection power has been made available to all believers all believers Every one of us can tap into resurrection power Now one of the most common questions that people ask is But everyone have a different kind of anointing Some are called to be worship leaders. Some are called to be pastors Some are called to be evangelists. Some have the gifts Right the gift of the prophetic gift of you know healing and miracles. What about that? That's true but The the point we're trying to do bring out is it is the same holy spirit Right. It's the same holy spirit All I'm doing is we're tapping in through different means Right and he releases those gifts But I I never understood You know, I remember as a young man I just believe and I would watch these videos All these healings and miracles and all happen. I say, wow, how are these guys doing it?  They'll say hey, we'll just pray and they're running on the stage You're wondering how are they so confident and they preach over the mask also. Do you want to see yourself healed? Do you want to see god working in your life? Do you want to be healed? They'll say yes, I want to be healed The next thing you know, they're running And there are people who are deaf who are here. I always wonder how are they doing it? It is only through tapping into the power of the holy spirit. Nothing else There's no Magical portion There's no formula Nothing Right and many times I I thought to myself. Hey, can I pray like this?  Will they be healed? What must I do? Right. So initially, you know, I lost a lot of faith Trying trying But then remember that this resurrection power is available to everyone There is no criteria You know what is criteria? Finish this this this only then you will get it No, no criteria all of us can Right. It really doesn't matter The working of the resurrection power Jesus is the resurrection and he walked in resurrection power before his death And burial and eventually after his death as well Right. He walked in this resurrection power And when you look when you read, you know, uh, the synoptic gospels matthew mark Luke john and you read his ministry There there is no place Where Jesus is afraid There's no place where he's not walking in authority Right now What about on the cross? You know, they are Crucified him. He's on the cross. They've beaten him. He's nailed to the cross It looks like he's not in a place of authority But actually he is in a place of authority. What is he telling those soldiers? He's saying Father forgive them for they don't know what they're doing It is a place of authority He's standing in a place of authority Now could he have Come down from the cross all of that? Yes But who's an authority right now? It was Jesus Because he knew what he was accomplishing in the spirit In the flesh It looks like a failure, but if the spirit it's victory Right He walked in resurrection power you and I can also walk in resurrection power What is the enemy doing against you? in you And in in what is yours in your circumstances, etc What are the challenges that you are facing? What are the mountains that you are seeing? What are the insecurities that we are feeling? I'm sure we all have no something or the other we feel oh man god how will I I mean look at the future man so much is there to do You know To go back You know probably get another job or start a ministry start from zero When will that ministry build when will it become 100 to 100 thousand people? And then when will I get married when will who look after the children? And then sometimes you just get tired oh man And then we have mountains we have challenges somebody is not well parents are unwell Financial problems all these kinds of things come The point is when the enemy is trying to pull these things against you Remember the resurrection power is available It is available All we need to do is to happen. It's like you know, I always picture it this way. There's a boat And if I want to cross the sea I just need to get into the boat But what's the point of me standing there at the seashore And saying oh man, I wish I could go to the other side And then there's somebody in the boat saying come I'll take you no no you do I don't But how can I go that side? The boat the Fisherman or that man in the boat saying hey, look at me. I will take you Give me your things give me your Baggage give me your luggage is jump into the ship or the boat take you you'll go No time you'll reach that They say no, I don't you how can I get into the other side of it? Does it make sense?  Thank you. You're not coming It is saying you're just looking at the other side.  There are coconut trees There's so many fruits and vegetables such a beautiful place How do I cross this place? I The boat is saying you'll forever be like this or me I'm giving you a chance. Okay. I'll give you another chance. I'll go. I'll come back Second round you want to come? No, you don't come back. It's okay. I just want to know how will I go there? It's not going to make sense right the same way The enemy is going to keep bringing things at us You may end up in this place where there's a sea there's don't know where to go God is going to bring people God is going to bring people like all we need to do is tap into that power This power Is available that can just overthrow the plans of the enemy Right it overthrows. What is the meaning of overthrow when when you know when it like like the stable is here If I just push it down Everything's going to fall down. Right. So it's like the enemy. He has set out his plans And I'll do this this this and this Four part schemes against this person. So this one two three four. These are the four areas. I will attack He set it on the table by the moment we tap into spiritual the resurrection power It's like we are taking that table and throwing it away They're toppling destroying the plans of the devil. Suddenly the devil needs to use another trick He needs to use Different ways to bring this deceiving Right. So he'll try to send spirits of fears spirits of torment spirit of you know, uh, laziness lethargy all kinds of things But the more we are tapping into his power His resurrection power the more we'll be over We able to overcome the works of the enemy Okay. Now, let's look at what was chapter 17 Uh, the present day high priestly ministry of jesus What is jesus doing in heaven right now? Relaxing Let him let him be there Okay, I've done my part I've gone through all the challenges I've paid the price. I've defeated the enemy. I've come back to heaven I'm seated on the right hand of the father I'm united back to my place of authority. So now Let's relax And let the world go on that things go on And I'm just there watching people pray I will send my anointing Send my word my word also is there angels are there they will do their part Everything's fine now No We see in the book of Hebrews. He talks it so powerfully In the old covenant There was one high priest To represent the entire nation of Israel One high priest. So what does he do? He'll intercede for the people of the nation so right now The lord jesus in heaven is our high priest He's doing the ministry of the high priest That is what most important one He is making intercession for you and me He doesn't have to do that, right? But he's doing it He's making intercession.  All right, let's read this First born from the dead colossians 1 18 And he is the head of the body the church Who is the beginning the first born from the dead that in all things he may have the preeminence That in all things he may have the preeminence Right, so he's the first born of the dead. So right now the lord jesus is doing the ministry He's a he's what does it say there's the first part first portion 18 118 sorry He says and he's the head of the body of the church Right. Yeah, he's the head of the body So right now as an earthly as the high priest, he's the head Right of this entire body The church the body of christ is the head Right, and when you look at the old covenant The high priest had the most the highest responsibility Right, so in the old covenant you had the nation of israel. There were different aspects But when it came to ministry Right, so there was the army there was Legislation there was law there was all kinds of things right, but when it came to the ministry The high priest was the head Right in certain cases the high priest was also involved in making decisions for the army Because the high priest will pray what should we do god give us direction Right, and then they pray. Okay, you do this Who is the prophet priest and a king in the old covenant one person Prophet priest and He was a prophet. He was a priest Oh, prophet priest and he's not a king, but prophet priest and a ruler Oh, like he's Eric Okay, Samuel Right, he in the old covenant he was all of it Right, uh Now Remember that you know even in the old covenant we see that Samuel tells the king Tell Saul you go here you do this Or you don't go here So then you see that there was this rulership leadership involved And the Lord Jesus That's what he's doing right now for us He is the head of the body And he will do what he wants to do In the church now the best part is he's not keeping it a secret I will tell you after 10 years No Say hey You pray you ask of me. I'll give you the nations or your inheritance Ask of me. I will pour out my spirit upon you The the glory of the latter day will be bigger than that of the former So he's already He's already decided what he's going to do Right as the head Secondly the hope of the resurrection There is a real heaven and a real hell There is a real eternity that we all must face So when we see the Lord Jesus, he's there in heaven And on earth also he ministered.   There is a place that we will go to Surely though as a high priest, he has given us authority over Hell and death So when you look at hell when you look at death He has given us authority over it, right now all authority belongs to him All authority belongs to him. There's no way that You know A demon or a devil the work of the enemy You unless we don't we love it. There's no way that the devil can overpower us He can tempt us He can bring accusations But he cannot overpower us He cannot overtake us.  I'm going through a lot of problems I feel insecure. I feel weak. So I'm praying to the lord jesus The lord jesus is making intercession in the sense. He's there and he's praying on behalf of us to the father and he's saying Father, I know how this feels I know how tiredness feels. I know how they are feeling mentally troubled When I was in the garden of gethsemane I I sense that I know I went through it Right and he's making intercession for us Basically, he's saying all Don't worry You just hold on I'm there with you I'm with you. I'll not leave you Right, you just continue to hold on to my word I'm there with you. You may feel alone, but you're not alone Right, and you and you get these words from god that's so much of strength You imagine that right? You're so weak.  Holy spirit. He begins to minister to us Holy spirit is telling me telling me to tell you that this is the worst you read Then we open the bible Oh Behold I have carved you in the palm of my hands A father or a nursing mother may forget you, but I will never forget you imagine reading those verses What happens it becomes revelation He's making a decision for us, right His name is above every other name and you and I have been given this authority to use that name Peter used the name of Jesus later on the all of the disciples used the name of Jesus Today that same name is still effective And this is the proof of his resurrection. Imagine we use the name of somebody who is dead in the name of Peter Rise up I command you devil get out of this person body The devil will say who's Peter It doesn't work Peter the one of the 12 disciples The one who Walked on water. He was next to Jesus. No, no, no, I will not go Devil will say no, I'm not going why Yeah, he had authority, but his name is nothing Right meaning there are names higher than that so So for example We know the highest person in authority Will you go to his secretary and talk to him? Or will you go to the highest person? Hey, I know the highest person might as well go there. You'll reach the highest So that everything Will you know work out? Remember Nehemiah the old covenant. What did he do? He's the cup better In the king's palace Okay, I know the king Uh, if I go to him, he may kill me. So let me ask his officials first No, I'll go first to the King if I die I die What did Esther do? Same thing I'll go to the king to the highest leader And if it works, it works if it doesn't It doesn't Right now here the commission to the church you and I Is to use this name the name of Jesus But again, do we know the name of Jesus?  I want to sleep Lord tired Sleep it's okay Then you say in Jesus name I command the sleep I command this You know this feeling of tiredness or this feeling of laziness Get out of my body What happens?   What a feeling that is happened to me this morning Oh by 3 a.m I didn't know where I was So oh my god I slept only at 12 o'clock three hours of sleep Lord. Please help me I gotta prove a point So was I sleepy very sleepy say but in Jesus name I take authority Now you give me a pillow and sleep within a few minutes But I'm happy I over I defeated the enemy that this morning defeated crushed him He tried his best Sorry devil The name of Jesus And that's such a good feeling Such a good feeling Open my eyes at 6 30. I said wow Devil, where are you now? You didn't want me to pray I had a nice time of prayer I know that God is with me Right, I am tired, but you are defeated and that's that's the name that you and I can use Right now when we don't use that name. Okay, God Next time I'll meet you tomorrow morning You got to use the authority, right Jesus Is our high priest Hebrews 9 25. Let's read that and also let's read Hebrews 10 1 through 4 Okay, we'll go a little quick Now that he should offer himself often as the high priest enters the most holy place every year with the blood of another Now that he must What does it say there?  Oh, thank God now God has forgiven the sins of Israel But here the high priest has gone one sin for all one sin for all taking his own blood precious blood that has no sin No sin whatsoever There is not a spot of blemish in his blood Takes his own blood And it's like he's saying I'll wash this entire place No more blood required No more price required. I don't have to come in every time. It's done. It's finished. It's like Jesus took He poured the blood cleaned up the whole place Now you can enter the holy of holies. You can enter into his presence Jesus is our high priest daily and brings our worship and prayers to the father What a wonderful thing imagine we are praying He brings why god the father can't hear he can hear But he brings our prayers to the father As a high priest He brings our worship imagine we're singing Father, we love you If you're singing he's bringing those songs of worship He's saying look at this person god Look at this person. He's worshiping you. Let's just be enthroned. Let's be enthroned in his worship You may be alone in your room crying and praying He's there making intercession Look at him lord. Look at him father. He's he's crying. He's weeping Pour out your presence upon him He's making intercession Right now we must understand the trinity. It's not like it's separate, right? It's not like Jesus saying father you pour out your spirit. No, it's It's a way of looking at it Three in one all three of them are rejoicing in what you're doing and your worship and your prayer right In john chapter 20 11 through 15 and verse 17 He says don't touch me Because he hadn't yet descended to heaven and taken his blood to the holy of holies But once he had entered He never has to enter again with an offering of sin The father has accepted this perfect sacrifice In the old covenant did the father uh, did the god accept the sacrifice? Yes There was a covering But he had to come back again every year Every year he had to come back again This time he doesn't have to come back right He has opened the way so that we all can come boldly into his holy presence as our high priest He represents us our prayers and petitions before the father and I think this is so wonderful, right? With jesus as a high priest we can always go to him at any time Anyway In all our weakness Tell him this is what i'm going through And he brings those petitions to the father Jesus is our mediator mediator means to go Between he's the mediator between god and man. Let's read first timothy 2 5 very common verse We always refer to this first timothy 2 5 First timothy chapter 2 verse 5 For there is one god And there is one mediator between God and man the man jesus christ Now what did jesus do? He bridged the gap Because of sin there was a separation But as a man as a mediator he bridged that gap He looked at that gap and he and he said hey, I will mediate for them I will come in between He was the only one who could do this because he was equal with god And he was equal with man Right He has represented us Holy and without blemish He was the only one who could do it was jesus fully god Was he fully man? Beautiful, right? Jesus was fully god and he was fully man It's not like jesus could say okay Father, thank you for the food and his stomach is full No, he had to eat He didn't snap his fingers and next thing you know, he was in samaria No He had to go he didn't call the angels and say angels One-way trip Like uber One-way trip This take me from jethu slim to judia I'll be there in a few seconds He was a man Right, it's not like he was awake the whole All his life He had to sleep. He had to eat. He had to walk. He had to do everything that a man does. He was fully man Yet he was fully god In what aspect was he fully god? He was without sin No sin in him Right, and he was the only one who could do it. Jesus could have been our mediator Could not have been our mediator if he hadn't first cleans us from our sin In his precious blood as our mediator He lives to see his covenant Enforced for us in our life He's the only he's not only The one who wrote up the covenant, but he's the one who died in the covenant himself He himself came to ensure that this new covenant Is put in place So beautiful Jesus didn't say okay. This is what god didn't say.  He will resurrect from the dead And through him you will find salvation. Yes, he wrote that That was the plan But what did he do? He himself came to enforce it He said okay now i'm coming. I will enforce this law I will enforce the whole thing so nobody can say I did it for you Because he was the only one eligible to come Without sin and die on the cross And Jesus is our intercessor He was made sin so that we could be made righteous and receive forgiveness He took our sickness that by his stripes we are healed He became poor So that we can be rich He took the curse So that we could receive all his blessings He intercedes for us in our times of weaknesses challenges So that we can be strengthened and this happened so many places in the in the new covenant as well, right? Look remember Peter. He's in prison Jesus himself comes remember uh the apostle paul Oh in his weakness. He says I was caught up in the third heaven Right So he himself is there to help us And now with the holy spirit all we need to do is ask the holy spirit. Holy spirit Help me He comes with his gifts. He comes with his fruits. He comes with everything that he has It's the greatest gift that we can have right God in us Christ in us The hope of glory Last point Jesus our advocate We have an advocate with the father Jesus Christ the righteous an advocate is one who defends us If you look at a natural court, you have an advocate. You have a judge The judge is sitting there But the advocate is the one defending us Have you seen those courtroom? videos And so you'll have three four advocates there And then they'll go the the guy who's been charged will be sitting there and they'll keep talking What are they talking is what he's saying through? Did you send that message or did you make that call maybe talking and then this man will advocate will say come in front and say He hasn't done that There's no proof of this So there's false allegations. What's he doing? He is defending the person who's been you know charged Now as an advocate Jesus is defending you and me God is looking at sin and saying i'm gonna wipe this guy out He's committing sin continually And sin has to be dealt with But Jesus is our advocate. He's standing. He's saying no. No, you can't do that Because I took up his he believes in me. He's just going through a difficult time. He's living in sin. That's true But as an advocate i'm standing here and i'm i'm representing him So you cannot punish him now So i'm standing there Jesus is our advocate if we sin we have we have Jesus our defender before the father now christian walk There will be times when we fall into sin Sin does not break the relationship that we have with God But it breaks the fellowship we have with God I understand that Sin does not break the relationship or the fellowship is broken Why because it's sin the fellowship is marred. It's You know, it's it's it's broken away But again fellowship is always restored. We go back to the father When we when our fellowship with God is broken, we come into condemnation But what do we have to do?  So what a what a wonderful You know place we are in In order to place of condemnation But we're in a place where we can receive Tap into this resurrection power that God has for us, right? All right, let's take a break. We'll come back and continue from the next chapter


Yes, just get it out the way This is so long overdue. I get that I'm actually ashamed to show you that I tweeted this out on December 3rd, and I'm posting this in January, but hear me out What I thought would happen was for like the holiday season. I don't know why I thought this I thought maybe they'd restock the next-gen consoles. They didn't so I mean it's like dude You have to go through so much BS to get a next-gen console I'm gonna do it for the boys here because I promised I would and that's exactly what we're gonna do So if you can make me laugh, I will buy you an next-gen console bear in mind. I gotta laugh This is a smile. Okay, I will be smiling throughout the vid I got an out loud laugh and if your joke is really offensive I'm gonna try and stifle it because I'm not trying to get my YouTube account deleted first one's from mile Hi Nick Nick. I love you, but based on what I'm looking at right now. I feel like I can't laugh at this I'm just gonna watch it and we're gonna see I Literally can't laugh at that like I I I can't no, I would know I can't I'm sorry Nick. I love you.  I hope you and you got me twice You got me twice with this dude. I get this twitch. Don't know like months ago You got me bro. You got me twice. Congrats. I'm proud of that Sarah Ford Bro, bro, I don't know if I'm supposed to be like is that a compliment or is that an insult? I think it's an insult.

Whoa Why am I covering you you guys?  I can't scroll anywhere Okay, I don't know if that was a real video that minecraft thing I just saw but if it is that man should be executed for making that video absolutely castrated executed Whatever it is train him up, bro. No one Adrian Pete bro. I can't I Really want to stay on youtube comm for a long time. I'm not trying.  Oh you have to chill out. All right We all right boys. We have to chill. We have to chill This one a hundred percent will make you laugh the Lions cannot go 12 and 4 anymore as they have seven loves That is dead as how I treated it.  I'm glad we got a seventh pick in the draft I'm feeling good about it. You sir have won yourself console for sure Do okay. I'm gonna get deleted off this site.  Why is he black? I? Guess that one's like edgy. I don't think that would give me a band. I think we're cool I think we can go with that when papa. Okay, dude. Okay. Can I say something serious?  Okay, like it is kind of a funny meme sometimes But there's someone who is like hand drawing that on like a tablet or something for like bro What are you doing?  Oh, they hold this out.   Didn't ask plus your white solid. I sent this to my mom once a week. Go ahead and save it That's a classic reply me right there Jessers golfing skills facts a boss, baby. Yeah, I love how he dead pants this Like why does he say it like that? I'm so in I'm so confused that why it says like that HamamG who's gonna win defensive player of the year this year place your bets on what QB it is I'm thinking it's gonna be Carson Wentz. It's Carson Wentz predictable, but fine. No way This is a classic. This isn't gonna make me laugh out loud This just makes me happy did there's this like MSU game where I think the job the jumbotron guy must have been a subscriber Cuz I was up on that jumbotron so many times one of the best days in my life huge flex Everyone knew what I was sitting to because I was up there so many times so everyone can come down and say hi Which is really cool. I think I dabbed and I whipped granted. This was two years ago. It was still dead by then though That's a classic. It makes me so happy every time did I love that pop. I was very proud of this I hope you like it. Hey, you wash the golf thing.

Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening to everyone. Thank you for joining us today. I'm Alison Snyder. I'm a managing editor at Axios. And thank you for joining us for today's session. So algorithms used for decision making for hiring and lending, policing and more have raised a lot of serious concerns about bias and discrimination. And even if the math or some of the math can be fixed, there are questions about how these technologies are responsibly and justly used and developed and applied. And so countries, companies and technologists have laid out dozens of ethics, AI ethics principles to try to in response. And we're going to look at how those ethical principles are being put into practice. So at the end of the session, there will be a more detailed discussion among World Economic Forum members. If you're a part of that and you'll be participating, please stay on at the end of the discussion for some more instructions about how that will work. And the panel today is Mr. Hermann Greff, who's the CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board of Sperbank, Russia's largest bank, which is also involved in developing Russia's national AI strategy. Yaxin Zhang, he is a scientist and entrepreneur who's now the Chair Professor of AI Science at Tsinghua University. Welcome. Athena Kanora, she's the Executive VP and Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer at PepsiCo. And finally, C. Vijaya Kumar, who goes by CVK. He is the President and CEO of HCL Technologies, which is a nearly 40-year-old Indian multinational IT services and consulting company. So thank you all for being here. I really appreciate it. And I was hoping we could start by talking about, from each of your vantage points, are ethics principles being integrated fast enough to keep up with the technologies in the industries you work in? And maybe CVK, if you could start, that would be great. Yeah, thank you, Allison. When we talk about responsible AI, I think a lot of aspects are still evolving. And if you want to talk about the policies and principles, what I personally believe is we need to have something which is an overriding principle, like what is the Hippocratic Oath in the medical world, where first is do no harm, either help or do not harm the patient. I think an equivalent analogy is what we should be looking for. I think there are four key principles. One is, of course, ethical, which is what everyone is highlighting. This is, to be more specific, I think it's important to responsibly source the data, manage the data code, and ensure there is an absence of bias and it's being done in a fair and an inclusive manner. The second aspect would be explainable AI, which means there needs to be transparency. The systems and algorithms should be transparent and should be able to explain to the users and regulators why an algorithm is predicting what it is predicting and why is it making the decision it is making. I think this would be a very important aspect. The third element will be secure. Whatever systems and the software that we put in place should follow the highest standards of security because anything which gets compromised can have some kind of devastating impact, especially in areas like autonomous driving and things like that where AI is playing an important role. The fourth element is the accountability and the governance. Who is accountable for these algorithms? How is it being governed? What is the validation process that we go through? How thorough is the validation process and how is the data which is going to build these algorithms free of any bias? I would think ethical, explainable, secure and accountable are the four key principles which should drive the development of the AI and explainable AI methodologies. Mr. Graf, may I ask in the banking industry, how do you see it? Are the ethical principles taking place with the technology and if not, what are the gaps? Hello, everybody. Thank you very much, Alison, for the opportunity to participate in this discussion. And I think that if you speak about banking, Sbernau is not a bank, it's a huge ecosystem, but inside the core of our business is banking. And if you speak about ethics for us, it's also a key question. And if you speak about the ethics of AI, I think that we need to divide this question in two parts. The first one, who is responsible for that? Because if you create this machine learning process, we need to speak about the ethics on the site of developers. Because everything what is the core of your corporate culture can be implemented in the algorithms for machine learning. And the second question, what kind of ethical principles are more important for banking business? I would like to say that the first question is the security. Secure AI, secure your data and protect the customer data. This is the question number one. The second one, for us, this is the accuracy. The AI, the models, then the results, then you need to be accurate. And as a result on the first two questions, this is the third one, this is trust. We need trust to have trust of our customers. If in our case, we invest a lot of our efforts in this problem, and last year we created a special declaration inside SBIR how we use, how we implement AI in our processes and in our products. And the principles we divided for each stage of product development process, product creation, product development, and product placement. And I think that we need to speak also about the second part of this problem. We need to have a right for mistake because we speak about the people. In our organization, we have more than 2,000 data scientists and the people who are responsible for AI. And we need to understand if the size of your company is so big like SBIRBANG, you need to be ready to see mistakes. And what I say that, please, guys, in the first two stages in the product creation, product development, it's acceptable to have mistakes. But in production, for bank is crucially important to eliminate all mistakes because it would be very painful for millions, 100 millions of our customers. And this is the very important question, how we can eliminate this process, how we can organize the whole process to verify our models, to organize two different parts in our business, different departments who try to validate each model which we try to implement in our business. And this is a very important question. May I ask Athena and Yashin, maybe Athena first to weigh in on that and also to talk about a little bit from your perspective. Yes, thank you, Alisson. I'm glad to participate in this panel with such a distinguished guest. Let me just start with the fact. The fact is that the development of AI technologies is happening so fast and the framework, principles and policies that are done with that are lagging behind. And we have to acknowledge that because no matter what we do as corporations and as governments, still this lag will exist and therefore we have to take action now. Saying that, what do we do as an industry? And of course, we at PepsiCo, being at the lead of the consumer goods industry, we have also a responsibility. If you were to look at how many consumers with us in this industry, billions of consumers, every CPG company and we at PepsiCo, we have a responsibility to number one, ensure that the inherent bias that comes from the systems and there is bias on how we manage the data, there can be bias on how we mine the information through the algorithmic bias that comes with that and of course bias on how we approach the consumers through technologies like computer vision and of course hyper-personalization. If we look at kind of this whole framework, what do we do with that? So number one, what we have established is a governance layer, the operating model on how you manage the three facets of data, algorithmic bias and the technology, the connectivity of AI across the value chain needs to happen with strict governance. As Herman said earlier, who is responsible and accountable for the development, deployment, maintenance of all of those AI solutions. Second, what we have established is our playbooks, who across the value chain touches those systems so we can have transparency, flexibility and actually visibility on what is the outcome of the full value chain. The third one, we have some clear rules and guidelines aligned with our PepsiCo way as to when we develop AI systems and where we don't develop AI systems. Because inherently AI is being used to be able to mine information and it has to be done in the broader social good umbrella. So we are very clear when it comes to capabilities around recruitment. We are extremely careful to rely fully on AI to be able to do that. When it comes to hyper-personalization, we are adamant, we don't host personal data to be able to mine information around how we target the consumers. So to be able kind of to wrap up and put kind of the overarching framework, the industry, the CPG industry has a very big responsibility because of the reach of the consumers and the broader ecosystem that comes with that. AI are associates, are employees and of course kind of the small, medium-sized businesses that work around this ecosystem and therefore setting standards, AI standards for the industry to be one of the advocates and work with the government is an embedded. Gashen, you work specifically on autonomous vehicles and I'm curious sort of when in that realm where do things stand and where do you think the biggest gaps are and maybe most urgent and top priorities in terms of the ethical questions that are arising because there's a lot, right? Oh, I'm sorry, I think maybe you might be muted still. Just better, can you hear me? Okay, I can hear you. Okay, thank you. Honestly, it's nice to be apart. Oh no, I'm sorry. Gashen, I think we might be having some audio challenges. I'm going to give him a second and I have another question to move on to really quickly. Again, this is for all of you. How do you within your organizations empower the people who are set, who are tasked with developing AI ethics principles? How do you empower them to do the work that they do, especially when it might run up against research or the bottom line? CVK, do you want to take that one? Yes, I think first of all, I mean, we are a technology services company. So there are a lot of development community who is focused on analyzing data, building algorithms for managing a lot of technology landscape and for our clients. So while we empower them to do the right technical work, we have a governance layer to ensure security, data privacy, to be making sure that we are within the guidelines prescribed by different countries, GDPR and things like that from how we use data. That's one aspect. The second aspect is we are largely a B2B business, but there are a lot of use cases where we have a large workforce, 160,000 people delivering work for maybe 500 plus clients. Sometimes selecting people for an assignment is done through some level of automation and there is some amount of machine learning and AI which is getting embedded and it is still very experimental in nature. So we are just making sure that the underlying logic, underlying foundational data is accurate and we can really trace back the reasons and the logic. That's what we are doing and it's done, one is while we empower the developers to do what is required to get the right insights, but it needs an overarching governance layer and that's what we are attempting to put in place. I hope that's helpful. Yep, absolutely. Thank you. I want to try Yasha again, see if we can, if we've got the audio fixed? No, I still can't hear you. No. Okay, Athena, are you able to weigh on on that question as well? Yeah, of course. A couple of points. Of course, we are in the food industry, so we have two communities. When it comes to AI, we have the developer community, the people that develop the AI products and then we have the user community. The different business stakeholders, whether it's our supply chain, things, our commercial teams, our service teams, our R&D teams, that are being kind of the adapters of those solutions. So the approach that we have is twofold. One is for the developer community, we make sure that they have the necessary platform support, service layers, technology to be able to drive that, but as I said before, in a very strict governance. So we can internally audit what this community does without creating any, I would say, bias in the activities that they are executing. The important is the user community. What is the level of adoption, usability, and learning experience that they have around those AI systems. And therefore, we have established literacy programs around technology data AI to be able to obscure them, educate them on the opportunities, but also the risks of those AI systems, how responsibly they can take advantage of the new technologies and ensuring that the proliferation of solutions and capabilities that we develop at PepsiCo is ingested in a way that becomes natural for all the business stakeholders to use, adopt, and enhance the human experience because we cannot forget that AI is here to enhance the human experience and not to replace the human experience. Can I ask each of you, and Mr. Graph, as well, I'd like to bring you back in here. Last year, IBM said that they would not develop or sell facial recognition technology without clear regulations. And I think just picking up on your last point, like, are there red lines that you would draw around AI technologies today, either because they're not necessary in the situation, they're inherently unethical from your perspective, or because they could potentially do more harm than good in their current state? Are there technologies like that where you would say, not now, not yet, not ever? CVK, would you like to start? Yeah, I personally do not think technology per se is a challenge. I think it's about how the technology is being deployed. How do you build it into some of the business processes? I think that's where some potential challenges could come in. I personally think we should continue to develop technologies because I think always that will be the leading indicator for doing some innovation. But how do we use it? Are we using it in the right way? Do we have secure frameworks? Do we have governance around that? Are you able to explain at all the points that we talked about? I think there should be more emphasis around that, rather than saying we would not invest or develop some technology. So not inherent in the technology, but in the governance? Okay, Mr. Griff, are there, I guess, red lines around different AI-based technologies that you would draw today? If you speak about AI, it's a special case. The first question was about research and how we empower the people. We have 16 labs in our organization and each of these 16 labs use AI technology because now everything is based on AI. And I think that you need to give 100% freedom for the people who work on the first stage, on the creation, technology creation, product creation, or they try to create something new disrupt your business model. And I think that crucially important is the question that we need to put the red lines for different companies which depend from the AI maturity. And in this case, we are in Russia and we are in the size of the Burbank. We create a special AI maturity index for everybody. And we try to evaluate each part of our organization. We do it twice a year and we provide this idea for the whole organization, including the government, and we try to understand how mature different parts of our business and different organizations inside us. And I think if you mature enough, what we say, we divide the whole organization on three different parts. It's an artificial classification, but it helps us. The first one, this is an organization who starts implementing AI. The second one, this is the AI radio organizations. And the third one, what we call them, AI native organizations. And if you speak about the third part of organizations or third part of your business, I think it must be no borders to implement AI. And we need to speak only about these kind of principles which call the CVK, these principles of general accepted AI principles, secure, explainable, reliable, etc. And this is the main framework for that. But it's the beginning of the way. I think that very important is if we can share our experience. And this idea with AI maturity index, I provide to WEF. And I think if we can organize and publish each year, WEF, AI maturity index, it would be very interesting and very helpful for everybody. Athena May ask, what do you think? Are there red lines in the use of AI within your industry? Or even more broadly, do you consider any? I think there should be some red lines. So no one wants to stop the evolution of technology. The fact that I think everyone will benefit from that. However, it is on everyone's benefit, and especially the societies and the more valuable segments of the population, to be able to trace back how the AI models by the algorithms operate. What is the use? What is the target that we put the models against which kind of to run? And what is the traceability and explainability of those models? Because whether we like it or not, there are many unknown parameters when it comes to AI systems. And of course, you can fine tune them as you see fit based on your corporate priorities or your government priorities. But ultimately, we shouldn't forget that we cannot undermine key social parameters that come with that when it comes to targeting consumers just to benefit the company growth or to target vulnerable segments of the population so we can benefit on the back of other competitors. So the red lines that we should be putting together and collectively on the industry should aspire to is number one, traceability. We need to be able to track from the beginning of the value chain to the end of the value chain why we use those AI models. Number one, number two, to be able to explain the usage, who touches them and for what reason. And number three, there has to be, as we all discussed, clear governance and a maturity assessment, not just of the companies, but also on the recipients. I, you know, the ultimate audience who is affected by the use of those technologies. So I think if we are able to put this framework and then align it with policies, government policies which are much broader than the country borders, then we will all benefit. We've got about five minutes and two questions. So, you know, AI is often framed as a race and it's a race of immense geopolitical importance and consequence. And my question is, does that sort of run the risk of downplaying ethics because of fears that someone will jump ahead and develop a technology or someone else will do it? In other words, is that the right framing and how do you sort of integrate ethics into it? I think, Alison, yeah, I think just able to down in. I missed your early question, but let me see, you know, I'm very happy to be part of the panel. And you know, just from my industry, the tech industry and the software internet, we have really come a very, very long way in terms of why we stand in the AI ethics. So there are three things that you have to do to make this work. You know, first, of course, is the level of awareness. We have to start from the very top. You know, when I started the Tsinghua Institute for AI Industry Research, and one of my first emails was to state our principle, three R principles, the responsive AI and the resilient AI and the responsible. So the thing, you know, we work on technology, you have to be responsive, you know, to the needs of the industry and the society. Talk about a ton of striving, talk about the work that accelerates drug discovery, the technology that improve personal health of the things and also have to be resilient, the transparent, explainable and the robust and also working on the things that reduce data bias, the model of vulnerability and the security and responsible as well, especially for engineers or scientists, you have to make sure that, you know, you put ethics and the value beyond just technology itself. And I was the president of Baidu for a few years, actually, and Baidu, you know, there was a committee on data for privacy, security and governance. And I was the chair of that committee and making sure we have the right people and have a cross-company initiative. The second element which is very important is you have to map this into the right domain, you know, for your product, your industry. Now, you have to start with data, to avoid data bias, you have to start with the right kind of data, integrity, the right of data, the scope of use and the life cycle of that data. And also you have to develop and apply the right type of algorithms, the deep learning which is a little bit opaque. There are also other AI algorithms which are more transparent and they need to somehow making sure there's a logic, a rule-based, a knowledge-based that is part of the AI algorithm. And also you have to control the training, learning and the inference. AI algorithms is like a baby. It's like your dog. You have to train it and making sure it involves and have the right kind of environment. And the last one which is super important is to have an operational framework, the right type of workflow and toolbox decision-making process, otherwise it won't get anywhere. But in fact, when I was invited, we had a data agent that actually owns the flow and the management data and also it will be held accountable. By the way, actually, I just read the work from the World Economic Forum on unlocking the popular sector AI, the AI procurement in the box, the workflow, the two sets. I thought that was really important because a lot of times you talk about AI, you have that level of awareness, but you don't have the right type of execution framework, right type of tool to make the work. Let me just say that. It'll be a lot of time. We were just having a conversation about sort of drawing red lines around technologies for whatever reasons. And I think I wanted to ask you actually, you've seen this from different perspectives, right? You have the U.S. new because from your time at Microsoft, you have the China view. What do I guess business leaders need to understand about how countries view these issues differently? Well, they're obviously a common set of principles, the value, the ethics. We just talk about some of the responsibility, accountability framework. I think it's also important to recognize there are differences. This is just like the product you build. The product you build are for different customers. The ones that build for a Chinese customer might be different for U.S. customers. And also you have to understand the regulatory differences and understand the rules and regulations. And I'm actually very happy to see both U.S. and Europe and China have developed a very, over the last few years, a set of rules and regulations and policies in China. There's a lot of work from different ministries and agencies in terms of security and privacy and data issues. So I see progress, but also I think we need to recognize the difference in terms of the market and the users and the industry. We're out of time, but I want to ask one more really quick question to everyone. So if you could just a short lightning round. A year ago in Davos, almost exactly a year ago, some big tech companies called for more regulation of AI. I want to know from each of you, what would be most effective in the near term in ensuring the responsible use of AI? Is it international normative red lines? Is it informal agreements between private sector players? Is it something else altogether? And I'll start with CVK. I think the most important thing is how data is used. I think that's the most important governing or regulation that's required. Great. Athena? Yeah, for sure more standardization of the policies, both around data and the use of AI. Currently it's very fragmented, very driven by the countries and by common standards. Mr. Gref? I think that it's very difficult to predict what we can discuss in one year, because AI and everything what is connected with AI developed so fast that I think that we need to speak about it a little bit later. But what I would like to say about the borders of using AI, I think that this 10 commandments from the Bible, this is very important, one very important principle which we need to remember when we work with each of the new technologies. And the first line, if we speak about AI, I call AI technology of the 21st century, which penetrates everything and is a enabler for each of business, each of part of our life. I think these principles would be relevant for each period of time and we can discuss how we can implement in our life with the support of the new technologies, all these 10 principles. Professor Zhang, final word? Yeah, I was number one and it has to be an open and candid dialogue in the government, in NGOs, academia and industry. And the second thing is, let's make sure we have the right technology, the tools to reduce data bias, to make sure we're dealing with the right kind of framework in terms of privacy, security and data solvency. For example, there's a lot of great progress in the last few years in terms of this. For example, homophobic computing that allow operations done in crypto data, saturated learning that can do learning without actually sharing original data and the differential privacy, a lot of things. And also the technologies that reduce the data leakage and making sure we can add the rules and the logic to the algorithm from black box to black to glass box. And we have a lot of scientists working on this, the knowledge extraction and making sure it's knowledge-driven, just data-driven. Thank you all again and thank you to everyone who's watching online.


Hello and welcome to senior moment. My name is David refson. I am your host With so many seniors living in the valley, it's no wonder they decide to both live here and retire here There are many many things to do, but I should just preface that the show is about seniors and for seniors There are so many artists writers and musicians Where seniors who live in the valley and it's a great place to have seniors get involved in those activities We are very honored to have with us Jacqueline Sheehan. She is a noted valley author and Our book lost and found has been on the New York Times bestseller list now, and we're happy to have her here So I wanted to talk to Jacqueline a little bit about how she made this transition from being a clinical Psychologist to being a writer of many novels Yeah, well David for me. It's just a perfect transition and really everything that I learned as a psychologist Applies to writing, you know all my years as a psychologist Really if someone came to me into my Therapy practice It was because something was not going well in their life and my job was to find out A little bit like a mystery What's not working? What usually works for you? How can we what's the conflict? What's the hurdle that you're facing?  Those are all things that I have to know about a character Um, but I had always liked writing. I just couldn't figure out Prior to becoming a psychologist How the heck to make a living at it, right? Yeah, I had done journalism in new mexico Um, but you know really the pay was so small. It was just ridiculous. So my second love was psychology Um, and then I began writing quite seriously when I was a psychologist and I would Wake up at five in the morning when my daughter was still in school And write for an hour or two before I would commute to westfield state college and um, every snow day every holiday Um, I would write I would imagine it takes an enormous amount of discipline And patience to be a writer because it's not like you're writing one page You're writing hundreds of pages And well, you are always just writing one page if I thought I had to write 80,000 words that would be overwhelming and I would just go Run screaming out of the room, right? But if I knew that I had on this day to write a scene if I had to get Cooper from the back of a pickup truck onto a ferry Over to portland I could write that and that would be a scene and I'd I'd be good That it really had to get down to kind of manageable chunks I don't know if there's something typical, but how long does it typically take you to write a novel or is there not a typical Scenario for that You know, there doesn't for me. There doesn't seem to be anything typical My very first novel was historical fiction. I was working full-time. It took five years Um, this next book lost and found Took about two years and I think if I averaged out It would be a little over two years for each book depending upon the amount of research Now you have done Many different types of books You mentioned historical fiction with sojourner truth We talked about lost and found here Which is about a dog and a woman and their relationship And then there was center of the world which had to do with the girl trying to find out About her adoption and what how that happened I mean I go through a day and I'm sitting in a car sometimes and I say, you know That's a great idea for a novel and it lasts about two seconds until next week and I come up with another one Yeah, so how do you pick your topic? So how does that Go so you have a a sense of this is what I'm going to write about So when you're driving and you think to yourself, wow, that's a terrific idea for a story. Do you Forget it. Do you let it go oftentimes? I let it go because I don't see myself as a writer per se Everybody everybody thinks they have a novel You know and so I don't see myself in that regard But maybe as I become older and as a senior that might change Yeah So I have sort of a backlog of those, you know, and I've I've always You know walking down a sidewalk I do a lot of athletic things When I'm walking when I'm hiking I am always thinking about a story Um and most of the time I can kind of file it away So I'm never without material to write about And for example with lost and found I mean you said it was about a dog and a woman and it is But it's also really about the very strange ways that we Handle grief on a loved one dies And that was very much a part of my life. My father died when I was nine. So it made a huge stamp on me And with my clients, you know every single person who lost a loved one dealt with it in an entirely different way ways that I could not imagine And and that was part of the motivation for me writing this book. Sure Part of interest to me about center of the world too since I have two adopted children Was this whole idea of kind of really what's going on where I came from And obviously there's a lot more to it than that because she she sets out on a journey to find out what's really going on in terms Of her adoption. So it's very fascinated by that. Did you actually travel to? Guatemala Yeah, I have been traveling to Guatemala since 2006 Um always going to the same location. It's in the Mayan Highlands around Lake Atitlan and there's one village in particular where I've come to know people and it's called santa cruz la laguna and So as I got to know the Mayan people and some of their history And the terrible civil war that they had for 35 years that Unfortunately, united states has so many fingers in that a particular war and a war breeds adoption because there are death and there are orphans and for a long time that there was just a river of kids being adopted in the United States and some European countries out of Guatemala and Some of these were acts of desperation. Some were mistakes at some Very Successful adoptions, but it did run the whole gamut And I became really fascinated by this that door has since pretty much closed solid now The country Is doing better in many ways so that that river of adoption does not exist so much Well, that actually is true about most of the countries now where adoption is getting more difficult to To do now for folks and at one time you're right It was open Within a lot of countries and now the doors have closed a lot and that's kind of unfortunate for the children who would Want to be adopted and have a better home here And that's kind of unfortunate. Yeah Yeah, I wanted to talk to you a little bit about the the idea of being on the new york times best soloist We've talked about this for a minute. Yeah, but how did this kind of come about you wrote your your novel And What happened? Yeah, so the I wrote the first book that I wrote had very modest sales And I thought well, that's what being a writer is you work your butt off for five years You know You get an agent you finally get a publisher you're rejected so many times and then the sales are modest and I assumed the same thing was going to happen with this book and Partly what happened when I first realized that something was happening with this book I got a call from my sister And I think the book came out in april and she called me around mother's day and she said Did you really publish this book because I can't find it anywhere And so I thought you know, I'm irish and I have a dismo outlook on life So I just thought the worst had happened so I called the publisher And I said carry What's gone wrong because the book is not out there and she said it's not out there because we can't keep it on the shelves I said, you're kidding. You are kidding me You know, it's that one moment that you think will never quite happen to you and then it does But it has sold about a half a million copies and many more with international sales and CDs and so forth. It was just a book that caught people There was something about it that really caught people. It's it's it's a somewhat simple book in some ways um, but it appealed to people who experienced that paying of loss And it mattered to them that someone else knew what that felt like I think Uh, one of the things we just talked about before we went on the air was this idea of being stamped so to speak Yeah, so can you talk about that a little bit? Yeah So it was on the bestseller list for two weeks. I had another book that was on the bestseller List for one week, but here's the thing Once you are on the new york times bestseller list you are forever tattooed New york times bestselling author you you just get to keep it and that that's kind of on here, too If you take a look at uh, yeah at the book here at the top of the thing says new york times bestseller So that's kind of interesting. So does that make it easier for you now to Sort of get either published or people interested in your book because of this The publishing world is this wild it's like the wild wild west it is constantly changing How people read is constantly changing the length of a book that people are willing to read is constantly changing You know, we've all sort of had this adult acquired add now Where you know if our paragraph is longer than three sentences our mind starts to wander So it is not always easier Um To find the same Readers for example that Were captivated by this book. They might not at all be captivated by another book. But there's there's a Give you sort of an in so to speak with publishers who say right here. Well if you did this so you know We'd like to take let's hope you can do it again Let's hope you can do it again and hopefully the next book is is going to do that. Yeah, which is kind of interesting Yeah, um, I know you have Some book in the pipeline so to speak at this point or something that you're working on right now Yeah, I don't know how much I want to talk about it because it is, you know, pretty malleable at this point But um, I am working on a book that is uh I guess you would call it historical fiction at this point the two timelines, but the most compelling timeline is 1938 america When the american nazi party Was really gaining some traction in the united states. It sure was You know, and we did not have for knowledge of what was to come We just did not know that that storm was gonna hit With hitler as as horribly as it did So here's this american nazi party kind of gaining traction in the united states and some people were trying to raise the red alert And other people were just saying, you know, well, you know, we have a lot of different political parties We have socialists. We have communists and I guess we have nazis Yeah, it's it I don't want to see it it went mainstream, but in some small regard it did There were rallies. There were even marches and so on and so on Madison square garden, right? So there was a big interest in that and There were some people who were sounding the alarm I mean, certainly one of them was Winston Churchill and he realized As he became prime minister later on that this was a real Threat to our country and I wonder if president roosevelt realized it at the time too to some extent They were others like Lindbergh who wanted us to stay out and have nothing to do with what's going on there and then Well, he was quite a right-wing fellow himself He really was yeah, and that changed rather quickly by obviously by 1939 Yeah, yeah when that all happened. So I will not ask you further about the book Sounds like you're in the process of writing One of the things that I didn't mention before but I want to certainly talk about now Is that you are one of the founding members of a group called straw dog writers? Yes so Tell me how that got started why it got started and I noticed when I went on to look on the website I noticed there were a lot of folks senior folks who were Writers and writing various whether it's poetry or whatever they're doing. So how did it get started? Yeah, it was started by a group of about six or seven of us in 2010 we got together at patricially lewis's house in west hampton Because we were all thinking the same thing where we're all thinking while look there are so many incredible writers in this valley, you know in western massachusetts Why can't we develop an organization that would support us a little bit more that would You know that if you wrote a book, I could help you promote it a little bit.  Maybe we've got a workshop for you And writers like to be with each other so We began pretty small And I think today we have about 250 paying members. It's a paid organization But you don't have to be a member in order to get on the newsletter and the newsletter Now is monthly and it's just brimming with events that happen in the valley absolutely brimming with events Well, let me ask you this so I'm a new writer. I've never written before now. I decided I wanted to get involved There are actually workshops to help me sort of both either get started or Ideas of how to proceed if I want to become a writer and what that's all about. Is that something that's Yeah, that's that that's absolutely true Um, so straw dog writers offers workshops at lily library north hampton setter for the arts We've expanded now into south hadley turners falls So if you were wondering wow, how do these people How do I write dialogue, you know that you could catch up with a workshop that would at least give you A little taste of you know, here are some resources for you. Here's some examples. Here's what dialogue can Can do, you know here this here's the purpose that it can serve Now do you do you actually teach some of the workshops yourself? Sure. I have yeah. Yeah, and I also teach Um With another organization called writers in progress that is run by dory astra miller, right writers and writer progress right teach over in boston at grub street and also teach workshops Very often about for for about 17 years with patricia lee louis at international writing retreats in guatemala in the uk in Um Jamaica where else have we gone? ireland of course, I know where you're about to go But I wanted to talk to you a little bit. Yeah, I mentioned the fact that there's an open mic once a month Can you tell me a little bit about that? Yes. Yeah, so there are quite a few poetry open mics in in the valley But what uh one thing that I started about six years ago is a open mic that is poetry pros Pretty much anything that you're writing and it's a two hour event We currently hold it in the basement In north hampton, which is right near the police station. You know just in case writers go crazy, I guess right and 21 center street in north hampton. So the first hour Are it's an open mic and if you want to Have a chance to read you put your name in a hat and if you get to read for five minutes So you can read anything that you've been working on Even a research article pros poetry fiction Flash fiction just about anything And then after that hour people can you know let you know what they Thought you know if they loved what you wrote. I urge them, you know, you know Tell david you love what he wrote well that that was my my next thing because unless you have critique How do you know that you're even That it's okay if you're hitting in the right direction that it's something worthwhile to continue along that So I assume that's part of what goes on. Is this method of critiquing not not at the open mic so much There just really isn't enough time for that You know, but but there are critique groups that do specifically that and I really urge people once they've got a Project well underway a critique group of trusted people with A group that has strong guidelines can just be so valuable And then the second half of the open mic, um, I bring in a featured Writer so they pretty much have the whole second hour and this month it was michael ponzer Who's a federal judge lives here in amherst and he has written two mysteries Interesting he's terrific Yes, and we can talk more about him at some point. Um Can people just show up anytime they want do they have to make appointments they have to schedule time to meet with people So, um, if you were to look, uh strud struddog writers.org on the web page There would be a listing of our events and anyone can attend those events Every once in a while, there'll be a fee It usually means we have to pay rent someplace But that will be listed if it's five dollars or or whatever it is interesting You mentioned that you're doing a trip to prog Yeah, can you kind of talk about that a bit? Yeah, so I work with another writer in new jersey her name is julie meloni and we've been working together for about 10 years and um We decided to set up mostly julie setting up a Writing retreat to prog neither of us have ever been to prog And it will be it's a 10 day writing retreat About three of those days are in prog seven of those days are out at a Retreat two hours outside of town called I think santa catarina and If anybody wants to find out more about that you could go to my web page Which is jackwell and shan dot com and we'd be So glad to talk with you about that when you when you say your retreat so folks sign up and these are either People who want to know about writing who are writers are ready Yeah, it is always a wild mix. It is always a mix of people who may have written several books People who I remember one person who attended a retreat in scotland And you know she was probably about our age And she had never written but she had always wanted to and she said I have been waiting all of my life for this For just you know to to be willing to give myself this time To be with writers to write together to get feedback So it's a great mix of people. Is there a limit meaning No more than 10 it's open to yeah, there's always a there's always a space limitation So I think with prog That's it's quite a bit larger group. So that's 18 And I think we're half full there and some retreats are smaller some are just 12 And I think for a workshop size some of the local workshops Um, I think 12 is a great number eight is sort of my favorite number Can you talk a little bit more about actually what goes on in the retreat?  You're not worried about your dog You're being cared for and your only reason for existing at that moment in time is to write So all of your needs are taken care of you're in a beautiful place to write and There are times when we all get together and in smaller groups And julie and I will offer a prompt to the group that's usually pretty open-ended that gets people started But we always tell people, you know, this is all of your time This is your time and if you want to come back and share your writing with us Please do if you want to keep writing if you are on a roll Stay with it. Is there any one-on-one time with these folks? Um Meaning either you yeah Or whoever else is going to be there. Do you spend individual time or is that more of a group situation there? It's almost always a group situation When I work with patricia lee louis, we always offer The people can schedule individual time with us They could either have handed in a manuscript to us ahead of time Or if they just want, you know 45 minutes to talk with someone about their writing because there there may not be anybody in else in their life Who will listen to them talk about their writing? right now once Let's say they come with a novel just for argument's sake And you read the novel or they do and you say well, this is pretty interesting. Do you help them lead them in a direction to Publishers or that kind of part of it or is it's just strictly instructional on what? Writing is or what they've done or how you can help them write Yeah, that I mean if I can if um if an agent comes to mind if they if I If I can I will do that, but that is pretty much the the job of the the writer You know if you're writing in a genre that I really have no Connection with whatsoever. I am not going to be helpful to you right So yeah Really interesting. Do you get a mix of like young and old at a place like prod or is it mostly Older folks You've done these workshops before so yeah, so I would say You know it's uh, it's on a bell curve and the big part of the bell curve is um middle age I would say 40 to 60 65 right in there We do get younger people and we do get older people I remember at one of our retreats in Guatemala, which is sort of rugged means this is we go to a place where there are no roads You're walking on paths from village to village Um, one of the gentlemen that joined us from texas was 84 years old wonderful And he loved it and we loved him Last question before we need to end is it strictly like Novel can they be a poetry person there right so the genre is kind of open-ended. Yes That's terrific. Yeah Jacqueline, this has been really wonderful. I want to thank you very much for being a guest I'm going to hold this up one more time folks lost and found new york times best-selling author and noted valley writer Jacqueline she and thank you for your time. Thank you david
