In this video, I want to talk about how we can use our formulas of compounded interest to make some comparisons to actually make decisions about what is a better investment. Because you have all these different things going into play, like the number of compounds and we want that to be big. The interest rate, we want that to be big. You know, we kind of see what's our good things, but what happens when you have these competing variables? How does one decide what the better investment is over time? So I want to show you some examples where we can actually analyze how good the investments are when we compare them apples to apples. So suppose we have a zero bond, a zero coupon bond that can be redeemed in 10 years for $1,000. So this is kind of like how government bonds work. Like my grandma would always send me like, here's a hundred dollar bond.  Now I have a hundred dollars, which of course I, you know, I didn't realize as a kid that I don't get a hundred dollars until I'm like 35 or 45 or you know, whatever the type of bond was, right? It's not that it's worth a hundred dollars. Now is in the future, it'll be worth a hundred dollars or in this case, a thousand dollars, right? So this is zero coupon bond in 10 years. It's supposed to be worth a thousand dollars. Well, okay. Grandma had to buy this bond for me. How much should she have been willing to pay for a thousand dollars 10 years from now? How much would a thousand dollars be worth now? So to speak. Well, it depends on the interest rate. Let's suppose that at the time the bond was purchased, the, the, you could get an interest loan for 8% compounded monthly. Well, if that's your interest rate, R and our number of compounds is 12, right? And we want to invest this for 10 years and our principal was a thousand dollars. Then we can put this into our compounded interest formula. We get the amount is equal to the principal times one plus R over N to the NT. We can start plugging things in. We'd end up with a thousand. And I asked actually, that's where I miss, I miswrote on the screen earlier. That thousand isn't the principal, right? We're not investing a thousand dollars. That's how much it's supposed to be worth after 10 years. So the amount is a thousand dollars. And this is going to equal the principal. I don't actually know what that is. One plus 8% over 12 raised to the 12 times 10. So the thing is, we actually don't know what the principal is. Aha. Right? How much should you be willing to pay for it? Like how much should I pay for it now? That would be the principal of this loan. So we need to solve for P. But in order to do that, you probably want to divide this quantity on both sides. So you get one plus 0.08 divided by 12 raised to the 12.10 power right there. So you have to divide that on those sides like, ooh, that's a mess. But one thing to remember is when you divide by exponents, you actually could just stick a negative inside the exponent that actually makes it come up to the top right here. So if you divide both sides by this, instead of writing this big hunker over here in the denominator, we can actually just use a negative exponent and what we see is something like the following. The principal is equal to the amount times one plus r over n raised to the negative nt. I'd like to think of it as we're going back in time. So get your Mr. Fusion and jump into your DeLorean here. It's as if, okay, we're in the year 2020, right? Just as an example. And it's worth $1,000. If I went back in time to the year 2010, I probably should go back to 2015 if I continue with this back to future comparison here. But nonetheless, this video was recorded in 2020. If we go back in time 10 years, how much should it be? So we have this negative time because we're going back in time, all right? So let's now put this into our formula. The amount will be worth $1,000. The interest rate is 8%. The number of compounds will be 12 because we're doing monthly. And then the time frame will be 10 years. We're going back negative 10. So I really should think of this as 10, 12 times negative 10, if that helps you out. In terms of multiplications, it'll make much of a difference. It'll be negative 120 in the end anyways. Points are 8% divided by 12 will be .006 repeated. Add that to 1. You get 1.006 repeated. Just add a lot of 6s in that as you're trying to compute this. Take the negative 120th, the negative 120th power. You're going to end up with .4505. Again, try to keep this as much in your calculator of memory as possible. You don't want to round too early so that your calculation doesn't get error into it. Times this by 1,000. This means that grandma, if she were to buy this loan, if she bought this bond on my 10th birthday, she should be willing to pay $150 so that when I turn 20, again hypothetically, it's worth $1,000. That's how much you should pay for the bond. Of course, if the government's willing to sell it to you for less than $150, that's great. The problem is what they don't realize is like, oh, you buy it for $500 and then it'll be worth $1,000 later. It's like, well, but I have a bank account that I can invest in right now. I can invest my $500 at 8% compounded monthly. If I don't touch it for 10 years, it'll be worth more than $1,000. Your bond stinks. We need to compare this loan versus competing loans exist at the time. What if the bond was 7% compounded continuously? Look at that for a moment. The interest rate is lesser than say the previous one, but it compounds more frequently. It's compounding is infinity versus only 12. How does that affect things? Is it a better loan or not? Well, we can do the comparison here. In this situation, we have to use A equals PERT, principle times e to the RT, but the same thing as you divide by e to the RT on both sides, dividing by an exponential, you can just use a negative exponent and go back in time. The principle is going to equal the original amount times e to the negative RT, so plug in those values. You get 1,000 times e to the negative 0.07 times 10. The exponent's easy enough. You're just going to get negative 0.7, but then you're going to want to use a calculator whenever you do a calculation with e whatsoever. You're going to plug in e to the negative 0.7 exponent and then times that by 1,000. You'll get 496.59. What's the better bond? It's going to be this one, right? I can get the same $1,000 with less money. This is the bond you would want to buy if you were grandma buying it for your grandson on his 10th birthday. 8% monthly is better than 7% continuously. Let's continue with that game. Suppose that you want to open up a money market account. You invest three banks to determine their money market rates. This is what we're trying to describe right here is the idea of a certificate of deposit, sometimes called a CD. Compounded interest is a really good formula if you have a certificate of deposit or something equivalent to a CD here. The way that your typical CD works is it's a frozen asset. You deposit your original principal and then you don't touch it for a year, five years, 10 years until the loan, until the investment match your rates, right? In which case they don't collect interest and the interest will collect interest and the interest, interest will collect interest. So imagine that's what we're trying to do. Because the idea of like a checking account or savings account even have an interest rate, you're often making deposits and withdrawals. So the compound interest formula doesn't really do much for that. We need some more complicated formula. Certificate of deposits is what we're trying to talk about right here. So imagine we go to three different banks to see what type of CDs could we buy. You didn't know you're going to go to the store to a bank to buy CD, which of course, I know that joke doesn't make much sense in 2020, who buys CDs anymore. We download our music. Anyways, so we have a certificate of deposit. The bank A, it says we're going to offer you 6% annual interest compounded daily. Wow, that's a great, you know, three. So if you look at that, it's like my over here with bank A, you're going to get number of compounds is 365, that's great. And your interest rate is 6%. Okay, that's not, maybe that's good, maybe that's bad. Let's see. Bank B, right, it's going to offer you a 6.02% interest rate, but it's compounded quarterly. All right, well, how does that affect things? So your compounds will be four. So dramatically smaller than we saw for daily interest, but your interest rate's better, R equals 0.0602, but it's only a little bit better. How does that affect things? Well, we're going to see in a moment. And then bank C wants to offer you 5.98% interest compounded continuously. Wow, that's great, right? Your number of compounds is infinity, you can't do better than that. But your interest rate is smaller, you're going to get 0.598. So who's the best choice, right? When you look at these things, these interest rates are only different, they're only off by like 0.04%. So it's not a huge difference, but the number of compounds is way different. How do we compare these things apples to apples? And so what we want to do is we're seeking what's so-called the effective rate of interest, which is equivalent. Basically what we want to do is we want to turn this problem, all of these problems into a simple interest problem. So if we invested basically $1 for one year at a simple interest rate, what would be the rate of that simple interest? This effective rate of interest does not depend on the principle, it does not depend on the time. So again, if we turned all of these into simple interest problems so we could compare apples to apples, we invest $1 for one year, what rate would that have been? And then whoever has the best effective rate of interest will be the best investment. So how do you compute this effective rate of investment? Like I said, we're going to take RE right here, this is the, RE is going to be the effective rate of interest. So notice you get P times one plus rate times time. This is a simple interest problem, right? The principle, whatever, we're investing for one year at the effective rate of interest. Well, the problem is not actually, of course, a simple interest problem, it's a compounded interest problem. So we're going to set a simple interest equal to a compounded interest, where the principles, whatevs, the rate is given, the number of compounds is given, the time is going to equal to one. So as we simplify the right hand side while the X one becomes an N, we want to then solve for, we want to solve here. We can also divide both sides by P, because again, the principle doesn't matter. So we get one plus RE is equal to one plus R over N to the N. So track one, this is our formula for effective rate of interest. Of course, if you're doing continuously compounded interest, this would look like E to the R minus one, because again, T equals one in that situation for continuously compounded interest. So we compute this number right here. So for the first one, we're going to take one plus 6% divided by 365, raise that to the 365 minus one. You crunch the numbers, la, la, la, la, la, la, use your calculator, you end up with 6.183%. That's how good bank A is going to be. So then you look at bank B. So remember bank A was daily with a 6% interest rate. Bank B was 4%, it has the four quarters, excuse me, the number of compounds, but it had the best interest rate, 6.02%. When you put the numbers in here, we're going to take one plus 6.02% divided by four, raise to the fourth to track one, crunch the numbers, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, you're going to end up with 6.157%, which you can see when you compare that with bank A, bank A has a higher effective rate of interest. So that's a better investment between the two. What about continuously compounded interest? N equals infinity, right? But the interest rate was smaller, 5.98%. So you're going to take e to the r, so e to the 5.98%, that gives you about 1.061624, subtract one, and you end up with 0.061624, right, that is a percentage, right? You're going to hit 6.162, which that beats bank B, but actually bank A still is the winner here. So believe it or not, the bank with the highest interest rate actually was the worst investment because it had the fewest number of compounds. Then the highest number of compounds also was not the best investment here. Turns out the lukewarm investment was the best one, right? Not too many compounds, not too low interest, right? Bank A is the best deal. And this is what you have to do with finance. When you have these different options, like should I invest this way or this way? Do I take out this loan or what? When it comes to your money, it's worth spending a little bit of time and asking yourself, what is the best deal? And you need to make sure you are comparing apples to apples. The effective rate of interest is a tool you can use to actually compare like, over time, what's going to be the best investment? And we see here that bank A offers the best deal of these three certificates of deposit. Certificates of deposit.


In an episode of the popular K-drama Crash Landing on You, we see a group of North Koreans sneaking into South Korea, and they do so by going undercover as athletes, participating in the military world games. White flags, embellished with a light blue symbol of the Korean Peninsula, are waved welcoming the North Korean athletes as they get off their bus. This flag is known as the Korean Unification Flag, and it represents the symbolic union between North and South Korea and the world of athletics. Because if there's one thing that can bring countries together, even in times of war, it's sports. Korea as a whole had a few shaky years in recent history. It's no surprise that Korea has been split since 1945, and the only Korean Olympians to ever win a medal while Korea was still united were Song Ki-chang and Nam Sun-hyun, who won gold and bronze at the marathon, respectively. This was during the 1936 Berlin Games, the same famous Olympic Games hosted by Adolf Hitler himself, where African American Jesse Owens won four gold medals and destroyed the racial stereotypes of Nazi Germany. During these same Olympics, as these two Koreans stood on the medal stand, they cried. Not because they were overcome with feelings of joy from their victory, but because of sadness and frustration. The frustration that, while they won the gold and bronze medals, they did not win it for Korea. Officially, they won it for Japan, because at the time, the Empire of Japan was the colonial ruler of Korea. They were ashamed to bring glory to the conquerors they despised so much. They were forced to compete for the Japanese Emperor in Japanese uniforms under Japanese names, Song Ki-tae and Nam Shorye. The anthem that played in the flag that was raised was not that of Korea, but that of the Empire of Japan. A Korean wouldn't win another gold medal until the 1972 Munich Games, where North Korean Lee Ho-jun placed first in shooting, and South Korea didn't win its first gold medal until the 1976 Montreal Games, where Yang Jun-mo, who I talked about in a previous video, won the gold medal in wrestling. However, this victory was never forgotten. Song Ki-tae, despite being born in modern-day Shiniju, North Korea, became a national hero in South Korea after its independence. He became a coach for many other famous South Korean marathon runners, and his story came full circle when, in the 1998 Summer Olympics in Seoul, he was given the honor of carrying the Olympic torch during the opening ceremony with the title 1936 Gold Medalist. Not a gold medalist for South Korea, or North Korea, but Korea. Politics aside, this feeling of unity has always been important. It's no secret that reunification has always been the goal of each country. With each of their governments having a department specifically focused on reunification efforts, South Korea has their Ministry of Reunification, and North Korea has their Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland. Each nation believes that they are the one true Korea, and that one day they will bring the other nation back to the light and become one. Conflicts and beliefs have always prevented the two countries from seeing eye to eye on the political stage. But in athletics, they have the chance to put differences aside and compete as equals. That's why I think it's so important that this flag exists. It represents unity between the North and the South, despite their differences. While it's normal in sporting events to see North and South Korea competing separately, on very rare occasions they have competed together as one team. The flag was actually created in 1990 in preparation for the 1990 Asian Games in Beijing. A plan for a unified Korean team was conceived, but never came to fruition. The first time in history that North and South Korea competed as one came the following year in 1991 at the World Tennis Table Championships, where North and South Koreans made up a men's team and a women's team. While the men's team was defeated by Sweden in the quarterfinals, the women's team made history and defied all odds by ending China's consecutive 8-win streak spanning from 1978 to 1989. This legendary team became the first team ever to win gold, not for South Korea, not for North Korea, but for an independent, unified Korea. The same year at the 1991 FIFA World Youth Championship, North and South Korea once again competed as one, but they were defeated by Brazil in the quarterfinals. Both times, Korea's anthem was Arirang, a 600-year-old traditional Korean folk song considered to be the anthem of a unified Korea, and very important culturally to both North and South Korea. Feelings of unity were strong, but due to some government officials having strong feelings against the symbol of reunification, we didn't see this flag officially used in a sporting event again until much, much later. During the 2018 Pyongchang Winter Games, during the Parade of Nations, North and South Korean athletes made history once again as they marched together under the unification flag and once again using Arirang as their anthem. However, this was nothing more than symbolic. As North and South Korean teams competed as separate national teams for every sport like usual. Well, every sport except for women's ice hockey. This was the first and only time a unified Korean team was fielded for the Olympics. 35 athletes, 23 South Koreans and 12 North Koreans. Unfortunately, they ended up not winning a single game, scoring only a single goal and placed 8th. The same year, under some bizarre circumstances, the International Table Tennis Federation allowed North and South Korea to field two separate teams for the World Table Tennis Championships, but then later allowed them to combine the teams for the semifinals. They won the bronze medal. Another event during the same year was the 2018 Korea Open, also for table tennis, where North Korean Cha Hyo Shin and South Korean Jang Woo Jin won the mixed doubles title, marking the first international event won by an inter-Korean pair. Apparently, 2018 was a great year because representatives from both South Korea and North Korea agreed to march together under a unified flag and formed combined teams to compete in the 2018 Asian Games. The unified team once again marched to the tune of Arirang. This time for men and women's canoeing and women's basketball. And in the Asian Paragames, men's table tennis and men's swimming. And finally, in 2019, the World Men's Handball Championship, where the team qualified as a wild card and ended up placing 22nd out of 24 teams. So, for the record, that is a total of 8 times in history that Korea has fielded a unified Korean team made up of North and South Koreans. That's it. Twice in 1991, five times in 2018, and once in 2019. And while they also waived the unified Korean flag at the Olympics in Sydney in 2000, Athens in 2004, and Turn in 2006, the actual teams remained separate. Problems between the countries prevented the use in Beijing in 2008. Similar plans for the use of the flag were scrapped at the 2018 East Asian Judo Championships and the 2018 Paralympics, as well as a planned unified team for the 2019 FIBA Women's Asia Cup. Well, what about today? Have relations between North and South Korea gotten better? The answer is… maybe. There have been some very historical firsts in recent years. The first time a North Korean leader entered South Korea, met with South Korean officials, Kim Jong-un met President Moon Jae-in, a North Korean leader meeting an American president, propaganda on both sides stopped being broadcasted, a pledge to work together towards complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, agreements to work together to connect and modernize railways, a restoration of full communication between the two militaries, South Korean trains passing the DMZ and stopping at North Korean train station, reunions of families that haven't seen each other since the Korean War. A South Korean president gave a speech in North Korea to the public, and as a qualifier for the FIFA World Cup, the first football match in 30 years between North and South Korea taking place in Pyongyang. And heck, Red Velvet performed for Kim Jong-un himself. When President Moon Jae-in's mother died on October 29th, 2019, the next day, Kim Jong-un sent a handwritten letter to the president expressing his deep condolences and consolation. For all intents and purposes, it looks like, despite their differences, Kim and Moon have a close, professional and respectful relationship. It looks like things will get better, and I'm sure we're all hoping for the better. But the past has proven that the things that the supreme leaders of North Korea say and the things they do don't always match. So who knows if we're closer to reunification today than we were 20 years ago, or even 30 years ago. However, one thing that we can hope to look forward to is Tokyo. Currently in the talks for the International Olympic Committee is whether or not North Korea and South Korea can feel the unified Korean team for the Tokyo Games, something for which the Olympic committees from both countries are actually striving heavily. The formal request sent to the IOC is for judo, rowing, women's basketball and women's hockey, but the talks are still ongoing, which leaves the door open for the possibility of additional events. While no one in the entire world can answer the question of if or when Korea will be reunited, it seems like the two nations are becoming more open to the idea of a unified Korean team more today than ever before. We can all expect to see those Korean athletes side by side marching and competing together under that white flag next year in Tokyo. And who knows, maybe one day our children, or our grandchildren, or our great-grandchildren will live to see the day the two Koreas become one. Maybe one day, crash-lining on you, a story about putting aside differences and coming together, will be analogous not only for two star-crossed lovers, but for Korea itself. Who knows?

Well, I learned once in public speaking never open your remarks with an apology, but when you're five or six minutes late, more than that, then I think you owe an apology. But I have found out in this job that along about 9.30 in the morning I begin to be getting behind as the meetings go on and it keeps piling up. But I thank you very much for your patience and welcome to the White House. I know the parents who here today are a pretty proud bunch, and well, well, you should be. The young people, you were selected to be pages because of your academic excellence, your leadership and civic responsibility. You've just completed a very special time in your lives, a time many other young Americans would give their eye teeth for. You've been seen up close how government works and gets things done, and sometimes how it has trouble getting things done. Most of you were sitting right in the House and Senate floors during some of the most historic debates in this century. You heard the nation's leaders pass landmark legislation on taxes and spending, forge new policies on nuclear arms reduction in Central America. Those debates and others that you heard will go down in history books as some of the most momentous of our times, and you were right there. I realize, of course, that your lives haven't been entirely weighed down by matters of state. For example, you may think I haven't heard about the cafeteria food fights, or the pages caught sleeping in the cloakroom, or the one who winged a congressman with a rubber band. I have, and if you get short of rubber bands, let me know. Of course, I'm still trying to find out who cut us off that time we were calling a congressman over there, but no matter, all sins are forgotten and forgiven. I've heard excellent reports on all of you, and I'm proud to have this chance to thank you and to congratulate you for a job well done, especially here in the presence of some of the lawmakers that you've served. You have the world before you now. You can shape your lives in any way that you choose. Many graduates have chosen to make a career of government. For example, our White House usher, Nelson Pierce, is a graduate of the Page School as are several members of the Congress. But whatever you do from this experience, you'll have a better understanding of the vast freedoms you enjoy, and the enlightened vision our founding fathers displayed in placing limitations on government in a society such as ours. Explain to all you meet how this land is one of the few places left on earth where men and women can realize their full God-given potential, where you can fly as high and as far as your own ability and effort will take you. And of course, with these blessings comes a sacred trust for each of you, the responsibility to preserve and improve our system of government so that your children will enjoy the same benefits. I have said many times, and I'll keep repeating, freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. Any time that a single generation fails to preserve it and pass it on, that's the end of it.  You will discover that the greatest unsung heroes are those men and women who get up in the morning, send their children off to school, go to work, pay the bills, and volunteer for good causes. It doesn't matter if you become a congressman or a construction worker, an astronaut or an accountant. Those are the qualities you must have to be a good citizen. Judging from your performance here, I know that each of you will continue to make the grade. So I congratulate you on your graduation. Wish you good luck in the future and know that our hopes and prayers are with you. And that noise outside tells me that if I don't want to be late in Mississippi, I'm about through here and do to get out there and get in that helicopter and go there. You do? Yes, I do. Well, all right. On behalf of the graduating class of the United States Capitol Page School, we'd like to present this button, one of our graduation buttons, to you and hope that you wear it and think of us all the time and thank you for letting us come here today and meeting with you. Well, thank you very much. Thank you. Welcome. Thank you. Now, the press always masses out there for a takeoff in the helicopter. And they're going to try to yell at me and ask me, and so forth, what is that button that you're wearing? And I'm just going to tantalize them and walk right on by and let them guess. Well, I thank you. And again, congratulations. God bless all of you for what you're doing and thank you for being here. And now I better run for it. Thank you all very much.


We're going to definitely get into your dad and just basically talk about the documentary. So I'm headed to Mount Oliva Cemetery, Slim's final resting place. To meet up with his son, Lil' Soldier Slim. Here we on Boss Talk 101, here we gon' talk. We back on the set man, and my guy, he's here once again man. This guy right here man, he is the extra co-host. I was just about to say the new co-host. The new co-host man, he ain't back in town man. Lil' Soldier Slim was in the building. What's going on? What's up man? Man, so this time I wanted to just, we gon' definitely get into your dad and just basically talk about the documentary. So I'm headed to Mount Oliva Cemetery, Slim's final resting place. To meet up with his son, Lil' Soldier Slim. Yeah, because I was so curious about that because I know that, one thing I noticed that, it seemed like he's always 50 Cent's who's always doing it, which I applaud him for that because from him doing BMF and you know, it seemed like he's reaching out to all these kids of OGs, whether they're passed away or not or locked up, he's trying to put out their legacy, he's trying to put out their stories and I love that and I applaud him for that. I really, when they came to me with the idea, I was excited about it and I just reached out to my auntie and was putting them on game. How did it, just run me down the road of how he even, how they even- Yeah, who reached out? Um, my auntie's lady. How long ago? It was like January. Oh, so this is really quick, it happened really quick? Yeah, we filmed maybe April. And when did it get finished? Um, man we filmed, they filmed for like three, four days and that was just- That's it. In New Orleans? Yeah, they came to New Orleans. They was locked in. That's quick.  Wow. Was 50 out there too? No, it was, um, the guy from TMZ, what his name is. He's earned a rep on the mic and in the streets and I'm hoping he can offer some clarity about who may have ordered his father's killing. Which one? There's the whole, you talking the hand guy? Man, I used to follow him, I can't think of his name right now, I want to mess it up. He's somebody important. I act like he's not nobody important. But it's not a hand guy, the one who's always narrating and talking. Is it him? He used to narrate a lot of these stuff though. Okay, so it's not the same one though. Yeah. So when you first, when you first was approached with it, they told you you're going to have to be in New Orleans for four days or they did a week.  I got out of three hours. Then they went around to other people. Other people. They just sit you down and just kind of ask you questions about like kind of what we do ask you about what you remember. Well, it wasn't like this. We went to the grave and we walked around the grave, you know. I appreciate you talking with us today, bro. Sure, bro. What has it been like not having your father around? Yeah, walked around the grave. Now the grave is, it's a walk in and the one that I seen is at the grave where you walk in and it's walls and stuff. Yeah, but it's also the same grave yard like they have a yard. Okay. So we walked around the yard and then we walked up, you know. Well, what's in the, just the base, just the remembrances of him? What? Where they got the soldier rag hanging, the bullet hanging out of the deal. It was put, it was in the wall. Yeah. It's a casket. But I thought it was, I thought it was, it ain't a grave, it ain't a grave one as well, like where it's on the ground. Okay, just in the wall. Yeah. That's different. Yeah. How long, and do you have other relatives out there? I know other people as well. Okay. Okay. So you've been going there all your life? Yeah, I mean, of course. Ever since you were eight? Yeah. Yeah. And with the documentary, I know a lot of times when people think about a documentary, like for me, I think about a movie might be coming soon. Have any talks been going on about maybe a movie coming out about him? Or like a series or anything like that? People be kind of asking about it. That's something that I like to do on my own, honestly. Okay. You know, I like to put my own money into it and do it how I would want it to be done versus bringing in investors unless it's fully just them putting their money in and let me do what I want to do. No. Was it planned that like cause he died on November the 26th, right? So was it planned to do it on this month because this was the month he died? No. It's just falling like that. Yeah. The series just was set up to launch this month. That's hard. That's you know, like when we met, we've met on his birthday. So it's kind of stuff that kind of like pretty much it's confirmation that you're doing what you should be doing. Right. And you start seeing things fall the way it should fall.


Good morning Hickets Tuesday. I am hopefully emerging from a lengthy bout with the flu. It's not COVID, it's the flu. Such an old-school virus. I feel like I'm in the 1990s with my acid wash jeans and my cassette tapes and my influenza. In other news, The Fault in Our Stars was first published 10 years ago yesterday. I still don't know how to make sense of being the author of that book, except to say that I am extremely grateful that it is still in print and still finding new readers. But yeah, 10 years. It occurs to me, perhaps because I am sick, that I spent my first three books trying to understand the consequences of mis-imagining one another, and my most recent three books trying to understand the consequences of mis-imagining what happens to us. Like, my first three books were about failing to imagine other people as full-person, seeing them simplistically as more or less than human. And this was an interesting theme to me, partly because when I was a teenager, I often failed to imagine other people complexly, but also because I saw it a lot in the culture. I saw us dehumanizing people and also heroizing or romanticizing individuals, and often acting as if romanticizing someone was generous or benevolent when, in fact, it can be really destructive. But after writing Paper Towns, I felt like I'd explored that as fully as I could. Like, the whole plot hinges upon the narrator realizing, as he puts it, that Margot was not a miracle. She was not an adventure. She was not a fine and precious thing. She was a girl. I felt like I'd said what I wanted to say as clearly as I knew how to say it, and so for a while I was a writer without a theme, which meant a lot of, like, aimless wandering. Like, I wrote about 60,000 words of two different novels, and they just never worked. They weren't bad, exactly. They just didn't have a reason to be. At its best, language gives form and sense to the formless and senseless, and these stories weren't doing that. But I eventually found a theme by returning to something that I started writing way back in 2000. The theme was, how do we make sense of the stuff that happens to us, the stuff that we don't control, and what are the consequences of misimagining that stuff? Like, as Susan Sontag points out in Illness as Metaphor, it was commonly believed, as late as the 1970s, that cancer was caused by not being loved enough, or else by, like, immoral behavior. The same is true for cholera and epilepsy, and diseases still often constructed as part of some divine retribution scheme. Like, I remember as a kid, people on TV saying that HIV was sent by God to punish gay people. These ways of imagining illness are tremendously harmful, because they create a kind of double horror. Not only does the person who's sick suffer from the illness itself, they may also suffer from a social order that marginalizes or dehumanizes them for being ill. Really, even metaphors that seem benign that, like, illness is a battle to be won, or a mountain to be climbed, can complicate the experience of that illness, because what if you don't climb the mountain? It's not your fault. My dad had cancer twice when I was a kid, and so I'd seen some of this stuff up close, the way people keep their distance from you, even though you're not contagious, the way they construct stories about why your dad got cancer to reassure themselves that their dad won't, like, oh, he had a lot of stress in his life, or oh, he did this, or didn't do that. The fault always in the self, never in the stars.  It just, that drives me bonkers, and so I wanted to write a book with no healthy kids in it. And I've continued that theme since, writing about what happens when we misunderstand mental illness and turtles all the way down, and writing about historical responses to disease, especially infectious disease, in The Anthropocene Reviewed. Now, of course, there are other themes in those books. Turtles is about what we talk about when we talk about free will. The Anthropocene Reviewed is about, like, what's even the point? Oh, wait, I just had a thought. Maybe I'm always writing about how we can make meaning in our lives without minimizing or denying the meaning in other people's lives. Although maybe not. I don't know. I do have a slight fever, so don't take anything I'm saying too seriously. Regardless, thank you for keeping Hazel and Gus around all these years. It means a lot to me. Hank, I'll see you on Friday.


I'm bored. You know what you should do? That's a total myth. No, I'm telling you, it works! Move it!


Gwyd dros y dyweddyn ni, gan gwybodaeth o'r ffordd, mae'n dod i yn rhan o dyweddau sydd yn cymryd yn gyurf fel y gallu rwy'n iawn. Mae'r rhoi gwaith, mae'r rhoi, mae'r drafodol. Dysgwydd efallai gynnwуд bod y bydwch yn pwnedig i ysbryd dyn nhw i gael cyffrifiad. Ac addyn nhw i ffordd, ώr cyffrifiad o'r ysbryd, mae'n gwyfodd bydwch o'r cyfluniau. I always try to do a session that I would enjoy being part of if that's possible, you know, I know as a player, players hate standing round too much, they want to get on with the action, I was the same as a player, but it's got to be educational, it's got to be functional, and probably once you get into a season's flow, at the end of that you've got to have something to aim for, whether it be the game, the one you've just come out of, or the one you're going into. I've been really fortunate that I've worked for, I think, five England managers, so that tells you the standard of manager, both at club level as well, working for the likes of Brian Clough, Kenny de Gleish, individuals like that, Kevin Keegan, but all of them have in some way, shape or form influenced probably what sits in front of you today in regard to, and I know you've been talking to David Moyes, you know, and David really educated, and he probably opened my eyes in many ways. To actually work with a new voice is the best education you can possibly have, it really is to watch a manager like David with his experience. I think every time you go and listen or work alongside an individual, if you go with your ears and your eyes open you'll always learn something.
