With Indian Wells just around the corner, we have a lot of players that are actually playing to defend a lot of points that they won last year at Indian Wells, of course the defending champions being Svjontek and Fritz. They're both trying to defend a thousand points, but there are a lot of players that are defending a lot of points and also players that have a lot to gain from this event. Let's go check it out. So, have a look at the players that have points to lose at Indian Wells this year. In the WTA, we have Igor Svjontek, of course, the defending champion. Thousand points to lose and unfortunately she has no points to gain, so she's going to have to defend the title to keep her points. Maria Sakri made the final here last year. She has 650 points to defend. Paolo Bedossa made the 70 finals last year, 390 points to defend. And Wimbledon champion Alina Rabakina made the quarterfinals here last year, has 215 points to defend. So a lot of points for some of the big names. On the men's side, the points to lose. Cross Taylor Fritz defending champion, 1000 points to lose on his ranking. Rafa Nadal, he made the final last year 600 points and unfortunately won't be able to defend them this year because he's not playing. Andre Rublev, he made the semi-finals. He has 360 points to defend. Carlos Alcares also has a semi-final points to defend with 360 points to his ranking. So all top 10 guys there with points to lose. Have a look at the points to gain now and there are some massive names on the WTA, started with Anstra Burr. She only made the second round here last year. She has so many points that she can make up at this event. Same with Sabalenka. Only made the second round here last year, has so many points to make up and also close the gap between her and Egas Fiontech at number one. Caroline Garcia, same thing, only has a second round to defend from last year's tournament. And Jessica Pagula also only a second round from last year to defend. And interestingly enough, this is actually, as the rankings stand right now, the second, third, fourth and fifth player in the world. So Fiontech's got the most points to defend and the four players just below her have nothing to defend. So we could see some crazy things happen to the points total in Indian e-worlds if things do go the other way. On the men's side, some top 10 players that also don't have points to defend, we have Devana Siddipas. He only made the third round here last year. So a lot of points to gain for him. Also Felix Ojaliasee made the second round here last year. He's got a lot of points to make up. Hogaruna also a lot of points that he can make up with his third round last year. Denomevadev also has a lot of points that he can make up. And of course, he is probably the favorite to win this event, if not one of the top three. So a lot of points he can make up to continue rising up the rankings. So again, just like on the ladies side, a lot of top 10 guys that have a lot of points they can make up at this event. So there it is. The points to lose and the points to gain. For some of the biggest names in tennis, of course, Indian e-worlds starts in about 24 hours time. Most of these players won't be playing until the weekend though. So we won't see these players kick off their campaigns for a couple of days. But who do you think is actually going to take advantage of maybe the points they have to gain? And who's going to maybe lose a lot of points and maybe even lose their ranking? I mean, a lot of pressure on Fritz to keep that 1000 points under his belt. And of course, he is in the top 10, a career high number five in the world a few weeks ago. He's trying to maintain that. He's going to have to do something crazy. Maybe they make the final to keep that position. But let me know down in the comments below, who's got the most to gain and the most to lose in your opinion?


Good morning. I have the great pleasure of introducing someone who, to this community and to many others, needs truly no introduction. But I figure I'll say a few things just to welcome him more than anything else. Joey, too, is no stranger to the Harvard Law School and the Berkman Center, but also to the Hewlett OER community. Of course, he was CEO of Creative Commons, one of the important grantees of this program. He also has a whole bunch of institutional cred, as in the new director of the MIT Media Lab and board member of multiple national foundations, as well as someone who has made investments in the iconic companies and some of the soon-to-be iconic companies of this iteration of the web. But what I'm most interested in, excited to hear from Joey about, is his own theories of education and how it relates to various movements that are emerging right now, in particular this one. Joey has an amazing story himself of how he came to these heights, which is not in the traditional mode of advancing through schools like this one to take on these important institutional roles. And I think he's been one of the most important spokespeople for thinking about hacking education in really dramatic and distinctive ways, but to do that in a way that is grounded in the most serious and most effective methods. Joe Ito, we are honored by your presence and so grateful that you're here to keynote this morning. Please join me in welcoming Joe Ito. Thank you, John. I think this is working, right? And then I need to switch that over. So probably a year ago, I would never have imagined that I would be at an academic institution. It was the last place I could ever imagine myself. So I'll try to talk about the topic by telling some stories. And I think, does everybody know what this means? It means too long didn't read. This is what happens when you send a long email to some kid on the internet and they reply, TLDR. And the polite people will, so as a faculty member, what you do is you write a big long email and then at the very bottom or at the very top, you write TLDR and then you write a one-liner of what you're actually trying to say. But kids these days don't read big walls of text. When you send them big walls of text, they say TLDR. Well, this, in a funny way, sums up my life because my whole life as a young person trying to go through school, everything felt very TLDR, where I wasn't a good reader. I had a hard time making it through classwork. I don't know whether I was, I never was tested, so I couldn't tell if it was dyslexia or just lack of interest. But it clearly wasn't the opportunity because this is my sister and me. We were roughly treated equally and we had the same opportunities. But she liked books. She would sit and read books all day. And I hated books. I could never read books. My father pushed me to read books, but I just didn't read books. And my sister was able to use these books as a kind of scaffolding for her thinking and her learning. And she did very well in tests. She was driven by tests. She had a fear of failure and she could plan very far ahead because she knew she wanted to end up here in a college at actually at Harvard. And she got a Magna Cum Laude at Harvard, Stanford, two PhDs, ended up in the Ivory Towers and got her diploma. And so all of the things that formal education gave to my sister as ways to motivate herself and give her a scaffolding of learning work perfectly. And so she became very smart and accomplished. And me on the other hand, the only thing I remember learning in school that actually I use was typing. Because typing was one of those things where I constantly fought my typing teacher saying, well, I can already type with one finger. But then when I learned to type, I realized, wow, this is actually faster. And so that's the one thing that I learned in school where I feel like it was worth the time invested just about everything else. You know, I learned either on my own or I was, they were teaching it in school, but for some reason I didn't learn it in school and I ended up learning it later. So for me, it didn't work. I ended up playing video games. I learned a lot in the video games. One of the first video games I played or it was an online game called A Mud at University of Essex and we sat around and talked about how to program games. And that's how I started to learn how to code software was I started writing games. And so for me, the only stuff that I got excited about was stuff that had to do with play and had to do with something that had an immediate effect on me. So these are two different people with a very similar beginning who take a very different course to learning. Somehow we both have ended up very interested in learning and we both ended up in academia. So somehow I think it was probably my mother's values that sent us, even though we went in opposite trajectories, we kind of ended up in the same place which was very odd. But the reason that I was able to survive with no education I give, attribute all of that to the internet. If it weren't for the internet, I would be a completely sort of unlearned, uneducated person who probably wouldn't have had the opportunities that I did. I think it was, I was really lucky because my parents encouraged me and empowered me to use the internet. But I think the internet is changing everything for everyone, not just for me. And I think it's really almost like another stage in the evolution of man because it's pretty fundamental because you can think about, so I think about the world before internet when things were simple and things were slow. You kind of understand it in communities or physical. And then there's the world after internet where everything is complex, everything is fast. Some of the things are big, some of the things are small. And it's almost as if BI is kind of Euclidean, Newtonian, I probably shouldn't be making too many science metaphors now that I'm in an academic institution.  And so when you think about what is this all about and what's causing it? In addition to this massive interconnected network that the internet has done, this is Moore's law. And this is just showing that computers are doubling number of transistors every 18 months. What happens when you put all this together in addition to things like Creative Commons, Free Software, OER, Open Source Software is you've created this environment that's massively reduced the cost of innovation. Because you don't have to write all the software over again. You don't have to write everything over again. You can collaborate at almost no cost. You can distribute at almost no cost. You can produce at almost no cost. So if you can make things at almost no cost, the cost of innovation goes to nearly zero. And this pushes the center of innovation from those big labs like Bell Labs and other places to the edges because you don't need actually to have those resources anymore. If you think about Facebook, Yahoo, Google, they were started by students. They were first connected to university networks. They actually had a product before they raised money. So it's the opposite of the old days. You used to have to raise the money to make with the plan, to develop the idea, to build the thing. Now you build the thing, come up with a plan and raise the money. And so it's completely different. So what it's done is it's taken innovation out of these centrally planned, centrally managed things with lots of resources to the edges where there's no, where there really isn't anything except creativity because the cost of failure is also zero. So this is the first commercial internet service provider in Japan. This also happens to be my toilet. And we stitched together. We're using old computers, a VT100 terminal that only half the screen worked. But we were able at almost no cost to build the first commercial internet service provider in Japan because the internet was all about that. If the telephone company tried to make Google, it probably would have cost half a billion dollars, 10 years, and it wouldn't have worked. And they would never have done this. But we were able to experiment and innovate because the internet is all about open access, freedom to innovate, freedom to connect. And that's the philosophy of the internet. This is David Weinberger from Berkman. He has a book that I love. Small Pieces Loosely Joined is exactly the image of what the internet is. So the opposite of the internet is big institutions centrally managed. Small Pieces Loosely Joined is a very humble thing. Most of the pieces of the internet don't try to control everything. They try to take care of their own thing well. They connect to each other with open protocols, open standards, and no one attempts to know the whole of it. And the idea is that the service that you create, you want it to be used in ways you haven't anticipated, which is the opposite of big institutions, because they hate it when stuff that they make is used in ways that they don't want. And the whole idea of the small pieces loosely joined, that's really kind of the image you start to have when you think about why the internet, which is really an example of the triumph of distributed innovation over centralized innovation, which was the telephone companies. Another person, this is MIT guy, David Clark was one of the first internet architects, and he came up with a phrase that many of you may know called rough consensus running code. So instead of big plans by really smart people anticipating every problem and every possible future, this is let's have a rough consensus, let's build something, let's iterate on it. Because it turns out the reason internet was so successful was that because you can change it later, it was better to iterate it, rather than try to plan the whole thing, which is what the intergovernmental agencies like CCITT and ITU tried to do. But this is a philosophy, it's not a technology, this philosophy starts even before the internet and continues through what I think we should be thinking, the way we should be thinking about how we innovate in learning and education as well. This is John C. Brown, who's another one of my heroes, and he was a chief scientist at Xerox PARC, and he has this word, the power of pull, which I love, which is the idea that don't try to stock all your money, your power, your resources, and manage it from the top. Pull the resources as you need them and innovate on the edges. And don't really try to stock stuff. Don't try to memorize everything, don't learn a computer language 10 years before you're gonna use it. There's all these reasons why stocking information in a changing world is not the way you should do it, stocking things as well.  SafeCats is the sort of startup non-profit thingy movement that I helped start. So March 11th last year was the earthquake in Japan, and it was weird serendipity, because that was a day after the first day of interviews for me at the Media Lab. So I was stuck in Boston, and I had a friend in LA, and I had a friend in Tokyo, and we were trying to figure out what to do. And at the time, I knew nothing about radiation, and I knew nothing about earthquakes, but my wife is in Japan, and I wanted to figure out, is it safe? Should she leave Japan? Should we move herself? So we were panicking. And so what we did is we got on email, and I was able to find through one of my friends, the guy who built the monitoring system after Three Mile Island in Chernobyl, who made Geiger counters, the guy who did sensor networks in Japan, Professor Jun Murai, Ray Ozzie, somehow roped in, because he was interested in this stuff. Bunny, who was a Media Lab graduate, who built the Chumbie, he was a hardware guy, and then a hacker space in LA, a hacker space in Tokyo. This kid who was a hacker in Tokyo. Heyan, who was a designer at IDEO. Peter, who was my friend who did analog devices, a web team, some funding, some Kickstarter stuff. In about a week, we were able very quickly to pull together a team where we were kind of able to get our head around the problem. And we realized that we probably, even at this level, even after we knew more than just about anybody else in Japan about what we needed to do, it grew after a few weeks into a much bigger group. And we used the normal social media tools and we convened a meeting, and there's Katerina there, but convened a meeting in Tokyo, I think about a month later. And we built a network to try to measure radiation.  And so we figured out, created the Bee Geige, which stands for bento box, and we put them on cars, and we drove around and we wrote software and created these devices so we can actually drive around and measure radiation. We got lots of volunteers, even Tesla gave us cars. That was the great thing. Everybody was giving us stuff, we had a Tesla with a Geiger counter mounted on it. We had a lot of volunteers. I mean, the really neat thing is we were going to these villages and measuring radiation in this place, and government people with hazmat suits had just been there, measured everything and left without telling them what the readings were. And so these people were freaked out. And especially in kind of the rural areas of Japan, they really are kind of afraid of or don't interact with Americans.  When we went and measured everything, they were really, really happy. And this is just an interesting story because they then created their own nonprofit and came back to me and said, well, because you have helped us so much in understanding and decontamination and everything, we're going to start our own nonprofit. And if this happens anywhere else in the world, we're going to go and say, we're from Fukushima, we're here to help. And this kind of like citizen to citizen connection. And the thing is, a lot of the people online were saying, well, you guys aren't professionals. You shouldn't be doing this. But the thing was nobody was doing it. We found it was much more important that we actually go out and do stuff than worry about whether we were adequately authorized. And we went places we weren't authorized to go, like the exclusion zone. And we created lots of maps. There's a lot of visualization that we need to do because it turns out it's very granular. Like one building on one side of the road can be like 10, 20 times higher radiation than the other. We had one place in the exclusion zone where we had 10,000 times difference in reading just a couple minutes away. We had shown people that villages that had been evacuated from lower radiation to higher radiation, just crazy stuff, right? And you find in the houses, the kids room having 10 times higher radiation because of the radiation coming from the roofs. And we helped people decontaminate. But this is a really important movement. And then even Media Lab students got involved. And one of the students is doing his master's thesis on visualizing the data. So now, one year later, we have 150 volunteers, 3 million readings, measured data points, distributed under CC0 so anybody can use this data. Which is really important because we don't understand the medical effects of radiation and we need to do big data on this. And we have a big network. We use Kickstarter, so we crowd source money to send Geiger counters to Japan, bunny designs. So Geiger counters, it turns out, don't normally sell. People don't innovate them. So there's a burst of innovation around Chernobyl. There was a burst of innovation around Three Mile Island. But the fanciest Geiger counters we have weren't very fancy. So bunny design, state-of-the-art Geiger counter. And it's being built right now. But we opened it under open hardware. So anybody can download the designs for this Geiger counter and build it themselves because we figured it's important for people to be able to build their own Geiger counters. I think open hardware is a tremendously important movement. And people started doing things like making analog synthesizers. And Ars Electronica asked us to show our Geiger counter as art. So there's all these... But the point is to illustrate the power of pull. So you had a bunch of kids with no previous knowledge and, oh my God, what are we going to do? And within a week, we had the world's experts. And any time there was somebody else, somebody said, oh, there's a better... failed robot has a better map than yours. Well, we just called up. Hey, you want to work together? Sure. That's the spirit of the internet. You work together. You share and you build the most impressive team you could ever imagine. And the government could never have pulled a team like this together before the earthquake. And you couldn't pay these people to do what they did. It was only because we were giving away and we were sharing and we had momentum. And now the Japanese government is finally talking to us. I'm not allowed to say this publicly. And I assume this isn't public. But the post office has come and said, we want to put a Geiger counter on every one of our bicycles and measure every street in Japan because we care. And so now finally after a year, the government's coming around and everybody's seeing it. But to me, this is the power of pull because all of the government plans failed. Every plan they had failed. Every scenario they had failed. And they didn't predict any of the stuff that happened. So to me, this resilience and this agility comes from the internet and the ability to pull stuff together. And in fact, because we didn't have any plans, we were able to pull the best people together because if you had, oh yeah, the radiation guy is him, you're not gonna go and find the best person around. You're gonna find the person who has that title in your group. And it may not be the best person at the time. And so to me, this ties a lot to how we need to think about learning because we want our kids to know how to do this. Not remember what the plan, wait, where is the plan? Or I am supposed to have memorized the plan. What do I do now? Which is what was happening in government at the time. So I go back and now I want to question whether this ivory tower and these books is the right scaffolding for how we need to encourage kids to learn how to learn. We talk about different types of scaffolding. I know there's a whole discussion around badges or maybe it's social media and badges. I personally think at the Media Lab, what we're doing is we do this, we just mess around, we build stuff. And you can learn a lot of stuff by building stuff because it gives you just the desire to make stuff is actually enough incentive. Badges are helpful, I like badges personally because it helps me get in the mood, but a lot of kids will just do it just for the sake of building.  Just to talk quickly about the Media Lab for those of you who don't know, I mean we have one of every animal. We don't have any two professors in the same field and they are all about the power of pull. They're able to reach into different networks and pull information and expertise as we need it, but the whole point is that they connect with each other and we celebrate the diversity of it. We're in the middle of a faculty search and we're using the word anti-disciplinary. We're saying that the faculty member that we were looking for are aggressively creative and anti-disciplinary. And what that means is that if you could do what you wanna do in another school, in a discipline, you shouldn't be at the Media Lab. The Media Lab is for the misfits of society, the places, place where you couldn't do what you want to do anywhere else. If you are the gastronomy person that wants to work in biomechatronics, this is the place for you. And another key thing that we do at the Media Lab is reinvention, this is Timothy Leary who has his roots here too at Harvard, I think. Yes, yes, that's, but one thing I take away from Timothy was question authority and think for yourself. And this doesn't mean just be disrespectful to authority, it means question authority and think for yourself, which is the opposite of being obedient and doing as you're told. And one of the problems I find with a lot of school is that obedience seems to be an important part of what you're trying to do. So we have a group called Lifelong Kindergarten at the Media Lab, because it turns out that kindergarten you learn a lot just by messing around. You learn to read before you get into school. There's a lot of learning that happens before you get to school, but somehow when you get to school, a lot of school is about doing as you're told, giving the right answer. But we don't give Nobel Prizes for learning how to be obedient, we give Nobel Prizes to people who take the biggest authority they can find and throw them over, overthrow the idea. And so even though we celebrate those people who question authority and think for themselves, we're not really designing our learning environments really to teach this. This is actually a hard thing to teach because you can't, how do you assess this? Yeah, so think about this. I want to talk about luck for a second because luck is a funny word. I don't really believe in luck, but a lot of people do. There was an interesting study around luck which where they did, I think it was like 400 people but they asked in the newspaper, if you think you're really lucky or if you think you're really unlucky, sign up. And they collected all these people over years and they did a test where they said, okay, here's a newspaper, count how many photos are in the newspaper and then tell the examiner. Turns out there's 43 pictures in this newspaper. And big huge font on the second page says, there are 43 pictures in this newspaper, tell the examiner now. And then on another page it says, you win $250 if you tell the examiner now. And all the unlucky people don't see those. They count every single picture because they're so focused. And all the lucky people see them. They're like, oh really, wow, 250 bucks? 43 pictures, okay, and they're done first and they get the $250. And this is a really interesting study because luck is kind of, it exists but it's a sort of state of mind. There's another really interesting study where if you look at a circle on a screen and you show little things in the periphery, people will usually see them. But the minute you give a financial return, a reward for watching the dot, peripheral vision goes away. So we talk a lot about focus and the importance of focus but it turns out focus diminishes serendipity. And serendipity is really, really important because serendipity are those opportunities to question authority and think for yourself and do creative things and connect the dots. And in school, a lot of what you're doing is told, don't look out the window, focus on your thing, get the right answer. And I think again, understanding how to teach kids to be lucky and feel lucky is really important because it's also part of this positive attitude. I don't know if you can see this but these are some mushrooms. Some mushroom hunters, if you talk to them, they'll tell you that at some point in mushroom hunting, I think it was Arash, you were telling me about this, I think. But Arash and I talked about this and I studied a little bit and hunters do the same thing but somehow at some point, they pop. You suddenly see them. And people say that the way you see patterns and pattern recognition is you stop looking and suddenly everything in peripheral vision pops up. And I think that is again, a really important thing that you need to teach kids how to do pattern recognition. You learn pattern recognition, not by focusing on, it's like a yoga teacher said, to learn how to meditate, just don't think of elephants. And then suddenly you can't, right? And at school, a lot of it is about how do you get kids to, and part of this is play, part of this is extending the classroom outside of this focus point where they're inside the school. So I wonder whether assessments are the right thing for everything. I think that passion is really important because passion is kind of, this is a Global Voices meeting. I mean, if you're having fun and you're running around, you forget that you're supposed to be performing but in fact, many cases, you'll perform better. So I think that some kids are motivated by assessments like my sister but I just couldn't get that. So I would question assessments. I know everybody's questioning the classroom but at the Media Lab we talk about learning through construction rather than learning through instruction. I really do think that project-driven learning is important.  And peer groups and working together in communities is I think a really important thing. This is a scratch community where all these kids are uploading tutorials for each other. So the kids are the teachers. And one of the things that we're talking about at Media Lab is why shouldn't we have seven billion teachers? So the idea is how do you empower people to be teachers rather than sort of a study group community?  So I think it's great and important to have institutions and I was just talking to John earlier. Schools are never gonna go away. I know that at some point the school is in the ecosystem, but the minute you start thinking about it from the perspective of the school, you kind of end up with a certain framework. And so I think that it's really important to allow elements of the community to sort of think completely peer to peer and then figure out how does that connect to the school because otherwise you're gonna be so focused that you'll miss a lot of the opportunities in the periphery. And thank you very much. I think I have a few minutes for Q and A. Yes, fantastic. Thank you so much, Joey. It's been very powerful to start the morning. We have mics, we have time for a few questions or reactions. This is just apropos background. We're supposed to focus on the part? No, no, no. This is me feeding sharks. So this is the question in the part. I'm Harris Chan, Bergman Center Fellow. And also prosecutor from Taiwan. And I'm just very impressed with your point of obedience in school. And as a similar culture to Japan, I would like to know what your suggestion in school that how to teach students, especially young students, not to be so obedient or not to teach teachers, not to teach students obedience. I wonder if this is distracting. So I think that's really, really hard. And I think one of the problems is you can't teach it. I remember when I went on tour with Timothy Leary and it was always interesting, we would give a talk and these kids would come up and say, so what should I do, Dr. Leary? And he says, think for yourself. You know, but you can't do it, right? When they're so used to having an authority, tell them what to do. And I think it really is about trying to figure out what is the passion. I mean, the hardest part going to kids like in Japan, I went and I do like this volunteer teaching in junior high schools in rural Japan where they're not allowed to have cell phones. They don't use a computer.  So what's your interest? What's your passion? I don't have one. And it's really hard. You can't, there's nowhere to start. You know, the minute you can have a passion, then you can go from there and drive it. But I think that you need to give people space and give somebody, and you have to encourage them to have this passion. I think you have to start really early because I saw somebody that said, some study that said if you ask a kindergarten class, how many of you draw it? Almost everybody raises their hand. But if you go into like second grade, like a couple people do, I think it's stamped out of you before you get into elementary school. I think you really need to do it kind of really young at kind of the nursery school kindergarten age where you're not crushing their passions. And I think it's really hard to deprogram people later. You can try, I mean, that's what we try to do at the Media Lab by sort of pushing people into these sort of free places. But we actually have a lot of trauma at the Media Lab of students. Well, I guess you have them at university generally.  So I think it's a really hard problem, but you have to start really, really early. And it's probably cultural rather than prescriptive. Hi, Joy, that was a great talk. So I read in the press that you actually met with the Brazilian president yesterday. She visited the MIT. What would you tell her to reform the Brazilian educational system? Because our system is very formalistic. I would say it's exactly the opposite of what you described. What should I, will you tell her? That's a good question. I mean, I, again, I, the last time I was in Brazil was with, when Gilberto Gil was there. And I think I would definitely lead with the culture stuff and with the sharing. I mean, it's kind of, I'm just saying what you know already, but with the sharing and I think a lot of the sort of growing emerging countries are trying to beat the developed countries in their game. So they start to use the same measurements. So I see like in the Middle East or in Singapore, I can't be a CEO in Dubai because I don't have a college degree. And I can't sign up for a visa on the website in Singapore because I don't have a college degree. So they're taking a lot of the stuff. I mean, people do this generally. So I would suggest don't, and I don't think she's even intentionally modeling herself after the West. But they, but people do, you know, because that's kind of like they see the movies. It's like kids wearing, you know, cowboy hats and it's, it's, it's, I mean, that Japan did that too, right? And I think that that's a, I think, but it's hard because you sort of need role models to invent what you want to do. But I think really you, it's your job to create a local role models and local ways of thinking. And maybe I would do, you know, like, I think it was, as a professor Pescal at Harvard that talks about positive deviants, but look for those small deviant behaviors in society. I mean, and then amplify those rather than trying to change everything at once. Cause I don't think you're going to convince her to change everything, but maybe you can change a couple of schools and then use that as examples. But I think it's really important to do that. I'm Elizabeth Murray from MIT Blossom's program. And I was, you said that it is difficult to reprogram and you mentioned that students come to the media lab. And I just wondered, because certainly most of the students we coming to contact with are similar, what are some of the strategies you've used at the media lab to sort of break that down? So I'm still relatively new. And I'm kind of angling. Well, I think the role of the advisor is tremendously important. You know, if you look at the students, some advisors are really good at taking them through. I think the coaching is really important. So I would replace the mentality of being a teacher with the mentality of being a coach and really teasing out from the student what they're thinking about, what their issues are rather than sort of, because I hear, again, I don't want to, it's hard. I mean, we have this course for new students. And I think some of the professors tend to say, and you're now at MIT and you gotta work hard and it's kind of like this be tough speech. And some professors say, well, what are you interested in? What's your passion? Well, what about doing this? What about doing that? And listening more than sort of preaching, I think is important. And I think that, so that's my personal opinion. I've been trying to meet all the students and tease out what their issues are. Because the world is also, one other thing I would say is that, and this is particularly true at the media lab, our degree is called media arts and science. So it's like, well, what's that? Because when you go and get a job and you say, well, I have a degree, a PhD in media arts and science, doesn't mean anything.  So there's actually kind of a career path through most of the things. So actually working hard, you still feel confident that if you get out the other end, there's something for you. At the media lab, we have so much diversity that that also is a source of anxiety because when they get out, there aren't job listings for media arts and science. So what I told the PhD students, the first year PhD students that came in a couple of months ago, I said, well, imagine that when you're graduating, I take your degree away. Say, psych, you don't get it. And I said, you have to be able to turn around to be like, I still am glad I spent five years here. I learned so much. I had so much fun. And the PhD and the thesis and all this other stuff should be scaffolding to help you learn, but that should not be your motive for getting out. Other parts of MIT, those degrees actually matter more. At the media lab, it doesn't really matter. So you gotta get out of that mode. That's what I've been coaching my students. Hi, Joy. There's one more question. Hi, Joy. I'm wondering in the spirit of what you've described as kind of the replication that happens with open source, how can you replicate what's happening at media lab and create maybe educational artifacts from the process or from the outputs that some of the people in this room could take into schools at a secondary level especially? Well, John and I were secretly planning this idea, which is I really have fallen in love with our labs. And we have a woman, Leah Beakley, who's been making electronics with crafts. We're doing kids are making furniture. And we're going out into the community and teaching elderly people, teaching children. And the amount of learning that happens when kids are building stuff together is amazing. And you can start really early. So what I would suggest to any K to 12 or any kind of school is have a lab that's multi-generational. That's a chunk of the curriculum. So like a couple of hours a day and have kids, the first thing they do is have to build the chair that they're gonna sit in. And really just have this, and we could help set it up, but make a fab lab, make a whole bunch of things where people build stuff and then tie your learning. So I'm a scuba diving instructor. And what I do whenever it is a key thing about scuba diving, which I love, is like you're learning Boyle's law because in an hour we're gonna be in the pool and if you don't remember this, you're gonna drown. And if you drown, you're not gonna get to go on to the reef tomorrow. And everything I say ties into a practical skill they're gonna have to do physically within an hour that ties into some fun thing they're gonna get to do the next day. And everything is tied that way. And so I could imagine teachers saying, okay, well you know, you've gotta learn this because later when you're in the shop, this is gonna help you figure out how to design a chair that you're gonna be sitting in for a whole year. So you better pay attention. And not all kids need this, but also the multi-generational thing I think helps the peer teaching. So I would build, and so it crosses over from some home ec crafts and shop and you'd mix it all up so that there's a lot of gender mixing as well. But that to me I think would be great if people could do that. We'd be happy to help. Thank you so much. It's been fantastic. Thank you too. Thank you.


I think the most important thing, the most generalizable thing is that students need to take ownership of the learning process. Too often we get in a situation where it's us passively providing the information to them, they've got to find some way to participate in that process, own it and be accountable for it. One way that I do that right from day one is just by knowing every student's name in the class on the first day of class. When I call on a student who has never had me in a class before by name at the beginning of the first class, it sets a completely different tone in the classroom because all of the students know that they are accountable and they know that they have been recognized. And so I think there's a feeling of respect there too. Participation is usually 20-25% of the grade in my classes. How I define good participation in the class is asking questions that help everyone else to learn. So it's not necessarily about just making your points, it's about saying things that are demonstrating to me that you're really thinking about it, you're taking the concepts to a new place and that you are interested in helping everyone else learn too and bringing everyone else along together. In terms of exams and in terms of homeworks and papers and assignments, there's a base of knowledge that I know that they've got to have and that's what I'm testing on. So I think that if I limit the class to just those baseline things, it's pretty stark and it's pretty basic and they're getting a much richer experience and one that's going to stay with them for a lot longer by allowing them to have some control over what it's really about in the classroom time. The classroom time is the most memorable, it's the most significant, it's the most important. And that's sort of what all of the homework, all the outside work sort of leads up to. So the way that I run my courses is highly discussion based and it's really dependent on the students themselves participating in the creation of learning. So as we have these discussions, I have to recognize that I'm letting go of control to some degree of what is going to happen in any moment in the class. Now I can do that because I don't use slides and so it's a lot easier for me to jump around the material. Now in order to do that, it's really important that I know the material very well. So I have a good sense of what I'm hitting now but also what I was planning to hit in 15 minutes and so if a student makes a very strong point that relates to something that I'm going to be talking about later, I can either choose to table it or I can jump to that next topic and then try and cycle back around to the points that I'm trying to make now. And so it's more of an opportunistic strategy and it does require a lot of improvisation but the value of it is that when I contextualize what I'm talking about based on what the students are bringing in now, then again they're much more likely to own it and they're much more likely to recontextualize it and it's much more likely to become part of their general understanding of the topic. What it also does is it sort of creates a feeling in the class that they don't really know where the class is going to go. They know that I have a sense of where I want it to be but they don't necessarily know how they're going to get there because I don't know how we're going to get there and that's all right.


Hi everyone, happy Thursday. Joe for Jaspy's casebreaks.com coming at you with brand new release. Just dropped yesterday. Panini Diamond Kings Baseball 2020 edition. 12 box inner, second half of the case we popped open yesterday. Last night, this is break number four. Early bird special as well. No vet common chip as usual. Early bird special. If you're one of the first 20 people to buy spots you can win an extra spot. So that's in a separate dice roll. Let's do that. Let's roll it. Let's randomize it. Six and a three, nine times for this list. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and ninth and final time. Good luck and congrats to Brian Zeller after nine times BZ with the extra spot. So the early bird catches the worm as the saying goes. So let's copy the names here and then let's assign you a team. All 30 teams are in. New dice roll. Let's roll it. Let's randomize it three times. Two and a one. One, two, three. After three we got Brandon down to one. Two and a one, three times four. Oh, 19's in here. Come on, Joe. Day two of the MLB draft is gonna happen for nine too. So there's all 30 teams in three times. One, two, and three. After three times we've got the Baltimore Orioles down to the Boston Red Sox. All right, and let's get this going here. Let's get that popped open there. All right, so Brandon with the O's. Keon with the A's. Brian with the Tigers. Darren with the Yankees. Allen with the Brew Crew. Jake with the Rays. Steve Birch with the White Sox. Tyler Brenner, you got the Fightin' Fills. Oscar with the Angels. Derek with the Giants. Brian with the Mariners. Matt Gomes with the Braves. Juan with the Mets. Brandon with the Astros. David Bruins with the Diamondbacks. Barry Roberts with the Blue Jays. David Bruins with the Marlins. Brian Zeller with the Rangers. Zach with the Cardinals. Steve with the Padres. Brian with the Early Bird Spot. The Chicago Cubs. Oscar with the Royals. Darren with the Indians and the Rockies. Oscar with the Twins. Darren with the Nats. Rick with the Reds. Derek G, you got my Dodgers right here. Richard, LastBodMojo star next to your name. You have the Pirates. And Juan with the Boston Red Sox. All right, so let's get all that on one page. Let's sort by column B by team. I'm gonna pause the video really quick. And when we come back, we're gonna see if there's any trades and then we'll have the break. Stick around, I'll be right back. All right, welcome back folks. A little bit of trade chatter, but in the end, no deals, no deals are done here in Random Team number four. But thanks everyone for getting into the action. I marked that RT four, but in the video yesterday, I marked that R for the right side inner case. So let's pop this guy open. Let's work through these 12 boxes. Should be a lot of good stuff here. I like the Diamond Kings this year, ladies and gentlemen. It's a wallet friendly price point, relatively speaking. Some solid hit opportunities in here. We've seen some trade whistles. We've seen some old school guys, some new school guys. I like the artwork in this. I always liked the artwork in like Court Kings and Great Iron Kings and the Diamond Kings and all that. So some good stuff. And I think one important thing they did in Diamond Kings was, I think sometimes in previous years, they're solid, but sometimes you could argue, ah, a little busy. You know, they're trying to do too much or trying to add too many inserts and stuff like that. But I think they cleaned that up really nicely.  You know, tightened up some things, strengthened some of the strong suits of this product. And I think it's a pretty sharp product. Got day two of the MLB draft here as well. Although MLB draft is, of the sports has to be kind of the most boring.  So it's sort of an out of sight, out of mind sort of thing. But if you invest in these guys and Bowman draft layer this year and if they hit, the return on investment could be pretty huge. All right, first hit of the day is Frank Thomas, Jersey Kings to 25 for the White Sox, Steve Birch with that. Trust me, she'll like it too. Game more material up there, NBA, NFL, you know, you're able to see those guys almost immediately later that season. Baseball, you gotta weigh it a little bit. Trent Grisham, dual relegant autograph for the San Diego Padres. That's gonna go to Steve Birch. First two hits of the day. There you go. Box two. Yeah, I think generally speaking, how for like rookies, for rookies, you're gonna see a lot of player-worn material, but for vets and retired players, you're gonna see game used more often. Although I think it's baseball, maybe even prospects. Maybe they get some of their minor league jerseys so you can't get some game-worn out of there, but for basketball and football, rookies are almost always gonna be player or event-worn, and then the veterans are usually gonna be game-worn. Baseball might be a little bit different. Baseball, they might be able to get these guys in their minor league jerseys or spring training jerseys or something like that, make it game-worn. We've got Pete Alonzo, Jersey-Kings Relic for Pete. Going to the Mets. Juan with the Mets. Sam Rice, frame. See, they used to put too many frames in this, but now that there's not a lot, it kinda looks really special. It looks pretty cool. Ooh, Dodger prospect right here. 39 out of 99. Two-color dual relic, Edwin Rios. Maybe even, maybe a borderline starter maybe if the Dodgers weren't so deep. It's a nice one for Derek G. We're talking to, he might be able to crack the club this year. And Ken Griffey Jr. right here, next box. Wow, Matt Vaskerjian going rounds two through five. We got Old Orlando Sepeta, piece of his lumber for the Giants, my rivals, Derek Molanson with San Francisco. He's Ken Griffey Jr. And that old DK 206 design is what they call it. Old tobacco card design. And we got Joe Palumbo, dual relic and autograph. Rangers, Texas Rangers, that'll be for Brian Zeller. We've seen some of these number, or autograph too. So we can keep an eye out for that. I think there is a downtown card that should be, generally falls one per inner case. So I think we can still look out for those as well. We haven't seen that yet. All right, next box. All right, good luck. Gabe, what's going on? Is everyone reals right there? There's his deal. AJ Puck, nice dual relic and autograph for Oakland. That'll be for Keon. Doing good, Gabe. Just hanging, watching the draft, breaking some baseball. Dylan Zingler from Ohio State, catchers for the Tigers' take. That looks different, right? Is Alex Regman for the Stroes? Yeah, that's going to go to Brandon Walker. Is that a different insert? I don't think I've seen this. Ghost of the Cubs, Brian Zeller with that. We'll set that aside just in case it's a special short print or something like that. What's a slam dunk number one pick? A house, dig learn, dig learn. Tigers rebuild in here. Speaking of which, there's Miggy right there, 15 out of 25. That goes to the Tigers. Brian Zeller with the Tigers. They're currently rebuilding as we speak. There's Jordon Alvarez for the Astros. That's going to go to Brandon Walker. That's in Haskin going to the O's. That's also kicking right at 17 store bases in 32 games. All right, so a Northeastern kid that eventually went to Tulane. What do you think of this pick here, Elbruns? I like it. Then he's going to continue to grow. You talked about the Northeastern kid. He didn't get a chance to get outdoors a lot. That's a young guy. Now he's down in Tulane. Funky, funky swing, right? You watched it right there. It's really not clean, but there's some power in there. Next box. Wait, it's 100 pence. What 100 pence look like, Greg? Yeah, do it, Gabe. Open up. Open up. If you're sitting at home, folks, open up some packs. Watch the NLB draft. Make it a chill Thursday. Not much else we can do. A lot of people are stuck indoors or working from home or no school happening in the summertime. A lot of college guys being drafted, I feel like. Maybe more than usual. The good thing is we'll be able to see these college players end up in the major hopefully a little bit earlier. The draft is a little weird this year. Yeah, it's up, Jeffy. Bill Mosher saying PS5 looks dope. Someone else was mentioning that PS5 earlier today, too. What's the deal? Like, what's dope about it? It's just dope? I mean, why? Does it have, like, can I plug it into my brain? Like, what's new about it? There's Kyle Lewis. What's under the hood? Kyle Lewis going to the Brian Zeller. I mean, is it bigger stuff? Faster processor inside? You know, you just got the new one. You just got to get the new one? Oh, all right. I'm sure the graphics are, like, frigging up. And you have to buy new games, you know? That's how they get you. That's how they get you, yeah. Not backwards compatible, right? Then you got to be like, oh, got to buy these $60 games all over again. It was Elson Howard. It's a 49. And we've got a Justin Verlander, Astro's quad relic going to Brandon Walker. The PS5 is a completely digital edition? I don't know. I'm not serious enough of a gamer to get into the PS5 systems. Is that VR? I've got a Nintendo Switch. And I'm good with that. Playing my Pokemon games and Mario Kart. Will we be breaking cards? Wow. I'm still on Jaspie's getting our own eye racing rig. We're going to work on that, ladies and gentlemen. Maybe sell 50 more of these Diamond Kings cases and put all the Diamond Kings profits to our eye racing gig rig. And then get an eye racing gig and then become NASCAR stars. A.J. Puck, dual relic and autograph. I'm looking forward to seeing him in action. That goes to Keon with the A's. J.G. DeGrom. Quad relic. I think Kwan has the Mets. And I don't think I've seen this card either. This must be a short print. That's Josh Bell. Pixel art. Speaking of video games, look at that. Got some of that old 8 bit video game look right here. Press start. Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do. That'll go to the Pirates. That'll be for Richard. Last spot, Mojo. I don't know how short-printed those are, but I think that's the first one I've ever seen. This is our fourth case here. Over halfway through our fourth case. All right, next box. A little over halfway through this case, folks. Got about another 25, 30 minutes to go. I don't think anything sold out at the moment. I see orders coming in, but nothing sold out at the moment, I feel like. So let's get something going. That cello pack to get into the NT team random is pretty close. Looks like that select mini break to get into Diamond icons is getting closer. So keep chipping away at it, and we'll get some stuff going. Seattle taking Zach Deloshe. Texas A&M. We've got Eloy Jimenez. Piece of his bat. That's going to go to Steve Burch and the White Sox. White Sox can think about the White Sox. That's a team that could suddenly get scary real fast. I mean, how scary is the AL Central? It could get got, right? I think with their youngsters, they can put a decent team together. A pretty competitive team together really quickly. I think that organization's not too afraid. Nice force, Whitley. There you go. To 99 for the Astros. I don't think the White Sox aren't afraid to spend money, right? They like to spend. They've spent. They don't pretend they're a small team. Lucas Geolito. Dallas Keichel. Gio Gonzalez. Dylan C. Still have Carson Fulmer coming back from injury. They haven't been the bullpen on the MLB.com checklist here. Depth chart. They've got Alex Colomé as a closer. Maybe Steve Shizek, Calvin Herrera. They've got some guys in the bullpen. They've got Yasmini Grandal. They've got still have Jose Ebreu. Some Edwin N. Karnasi Owens still on that team. They've got some older guys. They've got young guys. They've got Nick Madrigal. Luis Robert might be coming up in a year or two. Yoan Moncada is still there. Remember, he was a huge prospect for the Red Sox. Tim Anderson I like a lot. Then there's Eloy Jimenez. Right? Oh, they got Luis Robert up in the center field in the depth chart. Luri Garcia. Adam Engel, solid guys. They picked up Nomar Mazzara. He could benefit from a little change of scenery. Think about that. That's not a bad team right there. You know, if those young guys wanted to get a little bit and keep improving season to season they had a couple more people, free agent wise. That could be a scary team really quick. It's a team to watch out for. And who's the threat in the AL Central? Twins for sure. They've got to improve that pitching though. The Royals are definitely rebuilding. They look like they're having a good draft though. Tigers are rebuilding. Indians are kind of in a weird middle ground. They've got the White Sox. There you go. Twins got to work on that pitching staff though. They definitely have the hitting. Outside of Jose Berrios who I like a lot. I mean Jake Oderizzi, Kenta Maeda, Homer Bailey those are like number three or four starters. You've got a number one in Jose Berrios. But then there's really no 1B. There's no number two starter. A bunch of number three or four or five starters. But you know, I like Mitch Garver, Astridio, Sino, Luisa Reyes Marwin Gonzalez, I thought was a good pickup last year. They got Josh Donaldson on that team. Polanco Solid, Eddie Rosario I love. Young guys like Jay Cave, Byron Buxton Max Kepler you know, Nelson Cruz is on that team. So they got some Mashers and they got some youngsters that could still marinate and become great but that pitching staff they really need to work on. That could be interesting. Twins versus White Sox battling for the division for the next five, seven years. Hey, that's Lamaradas around here Jared Jones going to the pits first. There's Mike Trout piece of his jersey going to the Halos. That'll be for Oscar. That's where I went to college. Patrick Sandoval, Duel Relic and Autograph. That is also for the Halos. So Oscar with the Angels. All right, three boxes to go. Yeah, Matt Hedges. Let's fill some NFL breaks. I'm down. I really want baseball to come back, folks. You hear the Cardinals owner or president or whatever, or the son of the owner or whatever? DeWitt who was just like, oh, baseball is not profitable, you know pour us you know like but then sell the team. Why are you in a non profitable business? You know, I love it when owners cry poor. Low as me. Sell the team then. If it's baseball so not profitable they won't because it is profitable. All right, here we go. Matt Vasker never going to take a break here. The picks are coming in every two minutes. Now there Mike Trout jersey for Oscar. Owen Casey for the Padres. And we've got for Tampa Bay, Randy Arroz Arreña right here. Two color dual relic and autograph. Is that a happy face in that autograph in there? There you go. Jake with the raise. Jake from State Farm with the raise. Jake from going to get that State Farm money. All right, two boxes to go. MLB has counter counter proposal. Apparently Mr. Says we're going to play baseball I saw on the MLB ticker that Manfred was saying that they took all of the concerns that the players had and their last bit of feedback and then countered with a proposal and see what happens. MLB.com says history says don't sleep on fifth round picks. Now the draft of course was shortened down significantly to five rounds due to COVID but from 40 rounds down to five which is kind of wild. I thought that was more aggressive than it needed to be but I suppose they have their reasons. Yeah, Mookie Betts was a fifth round guy. There's Ricky Henderson. Quad relic and autograph. Nice hit for the A's, the man of steel. Keon K with the A's. I am the greatest of all time and there is the inner case hit, it's Yachty. There's a dent on that edge right there but a nice inner case hit they seem to be case hits. They generally fall one per case. So far we've seen one of these in every case. If you've never been to downtown St. Louis that's exactly what it looks like. That goes to the Cardinals. That'll be for Zach Paul. What's going on here? Oh, I guess this is, are these World's Fair references in St. Louis? Josul you guys remember the World's Fair in St. Louis? I remember that as featured in the documentary Meet Me in St. Louis. Why 40 rounds Gabe? Think about all the teams you have to field. How many players does each minor league team have? 40? There's AJ Puck. You have your rookie ball team 40 players on that team. Single A, low A IA, single A, double A triple A and the big club. So do 7 times 40 on that. I don't know if every minor league team has 40 man rosters but even if you have 30 people on that team, 20 people you've got to carry at least you've got to carry at least 30, right? So start doing that math and you realize why ball clubs need to draft 40 players every year. You don't cease. Because you're right, not all these players are going to make it so there's always players just retiring early or dropping out or being released or being traded or maybe having an unfortunate injury that ends their young baseball career you've got to draft 40 players every year which is crazy and that's why I was a little surprised they dropped the baseball rounds from 40 down to 5 rounds that seemed really... I thought they would do 10, 15, 20 rounds right, yeah look at where Mike Piazza was drafted Gabe, remember old Mets Dodgers catcher Mike Piazza Hall of Fame catcher look where he was drafted doesn't happen all the time but you still have to fill out rosters Jake Arietta, another 5th rounder according to mlb.com Max Muncie was a 5th rounder with a C 5th rounder, Samarja Chris Archer, Reese Hoskins, Chris Taylor were these guys all 5th rounders, wow so yeah, there's a value in that 5th round past stars Tim Reigns was a 5th rounder Jack Morris, Lou Whitaker, Dwight Evans Dave Steeb, remember Dave Steeb John Franco, Ryan Howard Pat Hentkin Javier Vasquez, Michael Young Joe Girardi, Amos Otis Ray Durham, remember Ray Durham Ed Boone, John Valentine, Mickey Teddleton those are all 5th rounders there's value in that 5th round the crazy thing about baseball that's what makes baseball prospecting so fun because of so many rounds and so many players that can make it, you know then if you're the person with that with that rookie car that you happen to hang on to and keep in your drawer then all of a sudden you're like wait a second there's that car now, there's that gallon two color dual relic and autograph for David Bruins and the snakes Diamond Becks on the board here in our last box random team 4 ladies and gentlemen Mike Schmidt's kid maybe not there's Mookie Becks for the Dodgers, piece of his lumber hopefully we can see his lumber this season I think we will a little bit two way player for Casey Schmidt Derek G with the Dodgers and I think that's our second and final hit of the break thanks everyone, unless we see like a numbered card here or something like that no, we got a Brian Abreu, Frayne George Brett and a Craig Biggio time Diamond Kings insert and there you go, let's do a quick recap here boys and girls of random team 4 sort of a lengthy break deserves a recap not too shabby, love the love the downtown cards, the Ricky Henderson was cool a lot of game used material here pixel art short print, there was that Chris Bryant short print that I hadn't seen before in all the boxes that we've opened up so that looked different from all the regular bass cards, a couple A.J. Pucks in the mix, nice Edwin Rios Peter Lonzo Jersey Trent Grisham and we started off with a nice out of 25 Frank Thomas, Jersey Kings Relic Game worn, there you go Joe for Jasper'scasewrakes.com I'll see you next time for the next break, bye bye


See, this is the fortunate part for quarterbacks who, not even just quarterbacks, but any players who get released from their previous team before official free agency starts because they gotta leg up on everybody else. They got an advantage against everybody else because there's a lot less competition since the market is a lot quieter because a lot of people's contracts haven't expired. So Derek Carr, Derek Carr who was drafted by the Raiders, I think, I wanna say nine years ago, nine years ago. For me, I don't know, it seemed like Derek Carr had only been playing in the league like five, maybe six years, it doesn't seem like he'd been around for like nine years, it's crazy, time flew by. But Derek Carr, rejoining Dennis Allen again with the Raiders so he'll be with a familiar face. I actually think the Saints were the first team, or one of the first teams that reached out to Derek Carr when he was released from the Raiders. They reached out to him, I believe the Jets, he had dinner with the Jets as well in both meetings. Apparently it went great, but the Saints remained in contact and I think even the Panthers tried to get involved too. But obviously nothing came to fruition with the other two teams and now he's gonna be a New Orleans Saint. He's gonna be being signed to a four-year deal, we don't have the details of the deal yet, I'm sure that'll come out later today, but he's gonna be being signed to a four-year deal. So that is a significant commitment. And the Saints, they get that guy. Ever since Drew Brees retired, Saints have been trying some different things at the quarterback position, trying some different sort of band-aids and whatnot. Obviously one of Drew Brees last years, they had Teddy Bridgewater.  Then he got hurt. So it just, it never ended up working out. And then this past off season, I think they signed Andy Dalton and of course, again, just a band-aid, just a lot of band-aids. And I know there are gonna be some fans that look at Derek Carr, like he may be a band-aid too, cause he's definitely not the best of the best but Derek Carr's certainly not the worst of the worst. Derek Carr's not a bad quarterback in my opinion. He's not, but this move, it puts the Saints in good position to know how they can move moving forward in free agency in the draft and whatnot because when you have your quarterback situation settled, that just makes life a lot easier for you moving forward. And now they got this settled. So we'll see how Derek Carr does in New Orleans.  Watching him throw to Chris Alave on MD ball. He's actually on them short passes too. It's Chris Alave, he could do it all. I don't think he'll be throwing to Michael Thomas cause I don't envision him being with the Saints but we'll see how things work out or don't work out. It's just a matter of time. But yeah, this is gonna be fun, man.  And one other thing, this is, cause you got the Bucks, you got the Pan, yeah, and the Falcons. This is the only NFC South team right now that really has a quarterback. They know that they one starter for sure at quarterback. Cause the Falcons, they cut Marcus Mariota and they can say, oh yeah, it'll be a desert. We'll see. The Panthers, who knows what they got?  I still think Gino Smith got a chance of going there because his offensive coordinator last year, Dave Canalis from the Seahawks. Now he's the Bucks offensive coordinator. No, his QB coach, Dave Canalis. Is now the offensive coordinator for the Bucks. I think Gino Smith could end up going to Tampa Bay, but we'll see, we'll see. But the Saints are the only team that know for sure. Like, all right, week one, we got our guy. So now the rest of the NFC South, it puts a little bit of pressure on them. Not too much, but a little bit. So anyway, congrats to the Saints. We'll see how it works out. I guess, Derrick Cole was like, man. New York, and New Orleans, yeah.


This is Prismana free to play on steam and I have been given gifted the DLC Prismana engineer tier package Yes Yes Free web and non-steam versions will follow soon. That's nice to hear We're gonna play the campaign because I have no idea what I'm doing. What headset is this? Why this current headset that I have on is a My brain went blank there Sennheiser Sennheiser headset. Okay. Cool. Play Prismana for the first time We recommend you style single-player campaign see and what I've been told if you want to be competitive you don't play that you don't play You don't play the campaign you just go right into and start playing the hard or some bots, okay? So I'm gonna do a campaign cuz I don't know what I'm doing now from what I gather from this game Now you're gonna see it is that it's a card game, right? Yeah another card game, but it combines the elements of an RTS I Gotta admit I never even thought of that concept taking something like Starcraft and putting on card game. Let me turn the sound on Something like Starcraft Into a card game So think of building units Wait, is my music still playing? So I was I was interested and this is free to play you guys and go download on steam right now. It's no cost And this is a sponsor stream Think I might mess that up All right We're gonna do normal difficulty. Oh, you actually did play one. Yeah, I've never even heard this concept suede Got some background stats on mr. Suede What am I much and all my wife gave me some mixed popcorn. It's like Toffee popcorn and cheese popcorn He was educated at Tower and Prime Military Academy military strategist most recent search queries Facebook boys What to do when bored at work job postings my heart Dude straws have one hole or two Wow, wow is that realistic or what?   She don't need no hair She's using Boris a correct Vorex's deep assist 2.827 the patch version This one is not susceptible to that exploit where you leak your search results out on the web Your search queries on the web this one doesn't have that problem Install modules office administration and maintenance data intelligence swarm of wielding assistants and my job continues to bring me endless excitement fulfillment of purpose Are you talking to me? I'll be at the bar. No, he's talking to robot Swade. Hey, I'm a dude with some hand things It's Logan chat. This is Wolverine when he was 12 He's a senior data data scientists Municipality of Centauri alpha by the way Department of security and enforcement. He went to ZIT.  PhD information systems and security Terrestrial genomic ancestry that's some words what his most recent search queries are Toothpills a bit loose sometimes cool robot chassis mods chassis Chassis Why does cilantro taste like soap? Are you kidding me?  I think you're allergic to a cilantro if you think it tastes like so. Oh I'm right. If anyone wants me tell them. I'm working remotely next to a massive plate of sweet potato fries Now that sounds delicious Wait, we just received an incident report for it. It's from this entire robotics factory Not again, I told him we don't deal with parking disputes Nope seems that one of the Robo because there is just threw a guy off a three-story platform I don't know where I get this southern accent must be when I went to ZIT go long horns Guess I better check it out then. Well, this is on the way to the bar six minutes later Wow, we needed a zoom for that Cool, okay. I'm here. What's going on? Where's the casualty? How a gram a Logan says they took him to the emergency care apparently a whole batch of robots went crazy people are evacuating Can't the supervisors just turn them off. I know right don't they have like the the rule of What's the number one rule was I robot? The prime directive. I don't know what it's called the rule set The AI golden rules of life. They've tried everything. The bots are completely ignoring override and shut down command You need to terminate them. I'll be back. Hey most action. I've had on the job in months Got your prism at a slate the tablet the tablet the tablet. Oh It's right here, let's see if this thing still works so his work involves a tablet got it The similar creates steel splitter Hmm Okay, don't you guys card game and RTS visualize it? Oh, he's doing stuff. I was like have I missed instruction? Is it like magic do I need to block? Each little steel splitter contributes one point of damage for your attack pool Damages dealt at the end of the term and then he makes another guy. So we got we ourselves a SRV that's RV a probe my probe a drone what's that The Terran than Starcraft is called SRV, right? SCV That's CV ready. I killed one in rear with the gear, huh? SCV ready. Yes He's getting a hang of a chat. It's like I'm a magic to gathering pro over here chat Starcraft Grandmaster right here. Well, butter my biscuit Oh You gotta love it chat. Oh That was easy Actually, that wasn't even half of them. There's another group for you to take out. Um, actually What's a guy's name not Logan? Sweet mom actually sweet. That wasn't even half of them. There's another group for you to take out Ouch. Oh, it's like somebody at Centauri. Roblox is getting fired What's going on? Whoo-hoo over time Man, I miss starcraft guys. I caught I caught the starcraft channel Uh, it was like twitch plays starcraft. It was the best thing ever They had like 30,000 minerals in like 60,000 gas and everybody like half the players the twitch chat players Were were probes and they were idle. So they were supply block fight medium AI Oh, we can group people Next thing, you know, we're gonna have hotkeys. Yeah, this is dragon drops though Oh, you got back into it with a friend? Cool.  I may have killed them all Hotkeys ink. Are they all right? Centauri robots just sent me an update. Everything built in the last 40 hours has been corrupt Well, that's not good No, uh Whoo the sacrifices and skills cleared to deal for damage Standing chat. I'm getting good at this.  Mom actually no the power grid is underground and the factory computers are rejecting all commands Okay Tell them it won't be a problem. We got this chat So could I just attack the factory like straight up you must construct additional pylons We did it chat. I am the man. You know what? That's indeed them New blueprints discover reach level 40 and add them to your blueprint index All manufacturer sanitation automating automatons Have been eliminated chat suede. You really trashed the place They told me to shut it down by force, right? Hey, I did Hey, I sound like Rainer. Well, could you just cause a little bit less catastrophic damage? Well, I just swapped the bunch of steel splitters and the whole factory exploded It was awesome. Ha ha ha Um, I see. Uh, looks like we need to have a chat about Slate's new swarm wheeling features You want to talk you know where to meet me go long horns. We did it square wave After eliminating several batches of malfunctioning robo custodians Wow, that sounds so formal, doesn't it? Suede heads over to the bar to unwind Logan joins him to discuss the day's events The only place where you can get waves That are square They have amazing sweet potato fries as well. All right What a massacre They don't even have enough junkers left to haul away the carcasses And we don't even have enough liability insurers to cover all the damage that they see was why I'm talking like this now No need to worry. I follow their orders exactly as instructed And I employed the utmost surgical precision when I violently removed my sunglasses Oh, yeah, so about that Back at the factory, you seem to have some sunglasses on your face. What happened to those? Oh, yeah, says who? Uh, look at your face, sir. You don't have any sunglasses It also says that you don't have any face I was called in to handle some sunglasses stuff And I broke them. Don't tell my boss Why don't you start training again? Everybody wants to see you went back to sunglasses No, nobody cares about my sunglasses, Logan. Them things are gone Swarm weather is dead My coolness is dead Um, actually, but you should at least try to pass the simulations I forget the Sims, man. I need my sunglasses back so I can get back some real action. And you'll see how uh Nigglemen apologies for the interruption, but we have received another urgent incident report More hostile sanitation automatons were sighted in downtown Centauri. They're damaging vehicles What did we miss what? See that's what I'm talking about. I have my sunglasses. This wouldn't have happened. Oh boy. We got drones chat. Whoo Each drone produces one goal per turn We're mining Chat, we are mining Where's my We are mining you could see the resources there, but uh, we're mining construct a blast forge Each blast force produces one behemian per turn. Oh, we're constructing buildings Oh, I'm let you guys see this Activate drones to get gold blast force produces one of that stuff per turn use resources to buy more units. All right So we got 11 gold now So i'm gonna buy another blast forge Take these guys Proceed to damage some people Incoming communication. So I installed this nice chat app on your slate. What do you think? I don't care. We're my sunglasses Don't know yet. These are from the city fleet. They've been working fine for ages Fresh out of the factory bots weren't their only one who went screwy Guess not. I'll look into it end of chat So drones get some gold Steel splitter attack and buy a steel splitter and receive damage Cool They're not doing anything. They're just here. So 12 gold blast forge guys are attacked You can't undo. I just see the back of that I hit my camera so you guys can see the resources at the bottom level So integrated discord the tablet. I know This should end it So wait, there's something going on near building in northwest 12 NW 12 chat But if it's just more junkers tell someone to tip them over. They're not even fighting back. What? Well, it looks more serious this time All right, I'll hurry End of chat. Oh, I'm not done. Got some gold I could buy another blaster and steel splitter Oh a drake cool. So drake can attack them. So wait, you should get to the northwest plaza right away All right, I got my sunglasses back. We got this Is true Lift off. You guys can see how the chat There's a swarm of unpiled this entire robot drones constructing other units Unpiled the drones with nobody wielding them just building stuff on their own Are you kidding me? Correct. Right now. They're the only building more public sanitation bots, but Jones can construct nearly anything out of patrol drones are a serious threat That the host entire robotics network go off the deep end Perhaps all the tasks are assigned by centralized artificial intelligence That optimizes for efficiency Humans are inefficient Skynet the end That's pretty unlikely with all the alliance's ai's safety laws Well, the alliance would be here. We'll be here at no time if these drones start building stuff that knows how to shoot Looks like i'm here Drones are now available for construction drones require energy, which is produced by engineers I have two engineers. I can't build more engineers So start a turn I gain energy Okay, I see they're they're getting like a mana system going As well as gold The last four is going For the drone In turn Okay, so I got two energy Uh, let's build a Let's get all this Let's build a steel splitter and a blast forge You can use control z or backspace to undo commands during your turn. Thank you lady Really nice thing to say there. All right blast forge blast forge Okay, so we've got 10 gold and four dollar reduce Two energy pressure repeat blast forge blast forge Take out some of those drones and I think I got some stuff. Look like I made a steel splitter. There we go cool what Hey, sway. I want to conduct the software autopsy on these drones Software autopsy chat. Wow Okay, can you grab one of their logic chips from the debris when you're done We'll do if I can find one without any holes in it end of chat Build a blast forge We're gonna take out of this economy chat That's what gm starcraft players would do do He has no more economy chat Now we just pick them off One by one Oh That sounds pretty good. That actually sounds really good This gives you a lot of damage, man. Cool.  I got one more turn. Yes, boy We got another drake All malfunctioning drones and sanitation alimotons have been eliminated Yay That was a close one chat. I have no idea what you're talking about I mean a couple more steel screws and we would have had gone over budget again Stop that that ellipsis Maybe you shouldn't have blown all our money on Giselle's new upgrades She turned out to be pretty useful today. Yeah, she should come back to the office. She'll turn to follow the reports this week Fine, you can't really complain after getting to blow up all this much stuff in one day sunglasses, dude boy Chat we have finished square wave and we are awesome. Okay We got it going on Logan is worried about the Centaur robotics artificial intelligence systems may be compromised by a widespread software problem Wow, that just never happens Suede brings a logic chip back to the centauria guardian headquarters for further study a few minutes later I hope centauria robotics has a really good public relations team Don't get distracted. You need to fire one justification port for each unit deployed in battle Why are you pressing buttons on those things while they're still locked lock? I don't know just something to do. It's like sipping out of an epic cup Dot dot dot And just tell this fire thing else on those Judoons Not the non-conforming robots were in the stress I need an upgrade civilian construction drones running the standard firmware They were manufactured by centauri robots as part of a 40 order unit for the municipality of the centauri Any idea what's wrong with them? Oh, that voice is back Results of the post combat physical analysis and software autopsy are still funding Hey Logan, we secured the area, right? All the robots accounted for Yeah, and uh, what's up with that voice? Look outside boy What are those military centuries? They have guns Ah, what tarnation is happening here? Are they attacking us? I'll deploy some defenses and power up the overheat rate, right? I'm sweating Right. Let's give these little warms into our welcome Sunglasses are going boy. That's a lot of gun butts. They're right outside the office No problem. I've got overheat rate wielded Time to turn these soup cans into slag This way the overheat rate can't fire yet. It's still charging up. You've got to hold them off until it's ready I'll make another wall Relax You got this Give me that goal. I'm having the attack. I just got it. I just got to hold out When the enemy attacks, you'll begin your turn with defense phase. Use your blockers or soak up incoming damage Swade, I just checked the camps and there are a lot more gun bots on the way. They're surrounding us Do we have any more defense anything we can boot up? Probably not. I'll look into it, but you better make us as many walls as you can I'm on it. All right. So walls cost what? Just golden Classwork, right? So we will I can't wait. I can't even build that stuff. I just have to Use what I have.  Are they going to breach the defenses? It's fine. They'll break through but they won't be able to take out the overheat rate.  I don't know.  I found a few more drones on an engineer. I just sent them out in front to help You're kind of late boy All right, you only took all about a third of gunbots the rest will be here in a few minutes Really? How long until we got fired over here again? It's called overheat rate for a reason and needs to cool off before the next shot Oh, man What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do? Don't worry from looking things. You'll probably have to rebuild some defenses Okay, I'm on it. Keep looking for more reinforcements Good I can build drones again. All right. All right, so I need energy so I can't build engineers Looks like a complete a couple of stragglers are still attacking No need to worry a single wall can hold these off forever If they're one attack a lot more coming in Here they come No kidding bunch of them just showed up Gotta keep over your safe with all costs So drones can block too cool There doesn't seem to be an exhaust mechanic Is that lethal? Yeah, one more turn We did nothing. So I searched the whole hangar I found a few more drones with some steep steep still splitters, but there really isn't much back there Better than nothing. But how many more gunbots are there? Only one more wave of them, but from the looks of things the satellite feed is massive How come the overheat rate takes so long to cool off? Can't you double take a ward on it or something? I could but now if you want to fire it again, we've got still splitters So I can actually attack now I can build engineers Three phases of a turn Ooh, we like magic boys Defend against an attack. I activate or buy units and attack by assigning damage So it's getting a little bit more complicated. So phase one, what is this? Assigning defense, okay End defense And this is where I build, right? So I can't build uh steel splitters Engineers just giving you energy, right?  Rip walls I should have been building drones, honestly, but Whatever It's like a billboard walls Control C boys Is actually in the game I was gonna roll with this There are too many of them I'm gonna have to put these drones on defense dude to protect the uh overheat rate Do what you need to do Okay, so if I don't take their coins, they're dependent Rest of peace drones may remember their noble sacrifice Everybody dies Victory chat This is me cheering I was a look for the button. There it is New blueprints discovered reach level 40 and add them to your blueprints index energy makers Combat scenarios are now unlocked. I'm not sure they look like a brand new high-grade military century robots No kidding does the entire robotic ship anything with that much firepower boy? Centaur robotics are non military only. They're not licensed to manufacture anything that can harm humans Where the robots through a guy for platform and attack the city we need to find out what's going on We should get to the lab and see how the software autopsies are going Nope, we should interrogate every single engineer in Centaur robots I've been on the phone with their head of R&D all day. How about getting them to meet us at the lab for chat All right, let's go overheat it overheat it overheat it heat it overheat it pretty interesting developments chat pretty interesting developments mega factor You won't like this Today started out so well. Nothing could possibly ruin it for me The alliance is claiming federal jurisdiction on this one. In fact, they've already interviewed the guy from Centaur robotics and sent him away They can't do that. You can't do that This is as a model of fact On your own fun a late section.  So why are you really here? Hmm the robots that attack us look like an awful lot like alliance military robots But what I'm here because of alliance and its concern The robots in the middle of the stick on the middle of multiple bounding all the mind got protocols Sickness sent you You know John was the guy that given me clearance to doing a thing. No, that's all right. They keep such eyes on under control, but That's very kind to him Logan isn't sick this kind Not just the kind kind kind kind of kind but very kind There's no time for your Needs to be contained boy I need this laboratory to transfer all irrelevant files to the alliance central now I'm heading over to this entire robotics to ensure that I'll come in a case and another suffers a disabled By as we need me, I'll be back at the HQ drinking coffee and short selling this entire robotic stock Miles wine. She sound like Pac-Man when she left Dude, is she gone? No, you just better you don't need to say it Say what? Oh, it's not dad. It's just I keep losing someone astroshock arena with username captain arabana. I think it's her Oh, really you think she plays astroshock You're thinking of inviting her to the guild. No Well, I don't even know if it's her yet Where you know her from anyway Did you just hear an alarm? I heard a beep boy Huh? Ah, oh, no, okay. I'm just throwing a master's room gun by downtown stairway to come from You figure that out.  Movement cost time. We shall deploy our forces first and ask questions later Well, it looks like you have a few minutes until they get here Nice that means I'll be able to assemble a big swarm of drones to help with construction, boy In the chat Five turns until they arrive remember leftover gold is stored that can be spent in future terms leftover behemian been discarded. I didn't know that Wow, I didn't know that I need to spend all that stuff. I got one behemium left Well darn. All right, we're gonna build 15 drones. So Got 15 drones. We got Looks like they're here That's it. I was expecting more of them um Let me guess They're more of them A lot more looks like four groups of them in total All right, I got this boy with my sunglasses Look at all that chicken. All right. So they got walls and shields and stuff. So I'm gonna get some offense first.  I got five attack. Okay. I see now I see now I was I was waiting for the tutorial attack thing to pop up and they ain't doing that no more All right, we're gonna block you and you With sufficient attack, you can breach enemy defenses leftover damage will be assigned to any enemies you choose Gwyt looks different tonight Yeah, dude, this is called Prismata Prismata, this is I like to call it a cross between an rts and a card game You have to manage resources like harvest stuff and you have to build units with your cards So it's an interesting take on it. I haven't played a game like this before All right defense So these little drones are harvesting gold that take every turn Um, and now I can build stuff like walls, but I'm gonna just focus on offense Yes, because these guys are on attack taking out some of their walls Pretty fast. So Let's get some more walls up Oh mega force He's got 10 attack chat One turn into a reinforcements arrive Don't know why the swarm wielding interface uses a sword for And shield for attack and defense. Oh, do you know why the the swarm wielding interface uses a sword? Shield for attack The same reason you click the paper the paper rectangle thing and they read these messages Yeah, pretty much Awesome deaf humor. Yeah, I love it Um, all right, so now let's do another mega splitter one of these guys and then Chat look at all those chickens Know what? Let's just undo all of that And put up some walls Oof All right attack attack 14 attack All of that Engineer or two. Oh no, it's not like this So that gives me I think we're gonna have a warp attrition here Oh ball damage cool. I have enough. Good god Wait, that was a mistake Two walls I need more drones, man It's like I'm making more walls I actually walls on it by blastforges Yeah, they are Oh gosh That mess up something Well, durly durly durly do So three walls Wait, what's what's the warning? Oh, yeah, this is game music. I don't know why um Is this like just like a I don't have to just outlast stuff I feel like I'm about to die. Oh god 16 Go do chat man. He took our hole actually No, they got three health. I got blastforges though. Actually that came close. I think that came close So why so many blastforges? I was trying to make a lot of walls Uh blastforges create this blue stuff And to build a wall I I found myself not building up walls and I made the mistake of building All those blastforges to get my defenses up Edb Ws one Space Wait, was there a key for that? You gotta drag that Wait, I already got 15 drones Yeah, I got 15. All right, never mind three blastforges Shift and click Look at you with your bad self. I'm Scared of you. All right. Now we just focus on firepower Um Go wait firepower and wall I guess one each Actually, I found myself needing drones still So We'll do that again Drone I hate to make walls. Uh, you need engineers to Use drones, right? Not to build them. So I got eight energy. Don't forget steel splinters and I'm like, oh Forgetting that Um, I shift clicked him and it canceled him I'm wrapped Bring him back Signing damage. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you got that guy. You still have enough to oh I didn't see them glowing. Okay, so we got six damage to block God, dang it. This sucks Wow She I didn't like that at all chat So blastforge and then drones I got seven damage Yeah, I shouldn't be wasting my time on those just yet Because they're just I thought they did more damage but these actually do the same amount of damage But they're only one So I'll take out the gunbots first Finally let me wave All right, maybe six damage down there 15 damage damage coming in boys So you took out one of my omegas Oh, that's some good walls chat I like them walls because I'm engineers so close some damage too Okay, this guy 15 damage Yeah, all right. So they got no more defense. I'm proud of you. He's up here Loads, I got my damage All right, uh 15 more damage that takes out five of these We still got 12 damage. So that's going to take out three of these Or 40s. I'm sorry This guy drinking drone Whoa, whoa, whoa any more damage the engineers can hear us, right? In city All right, I think we're I think we won I didn't build anything What's absorbed it absorbs the damage and looks like it recesses defense at the end of the turn So right now I have what eight of these So it's absorbed two and I kept all eight. Yeah, that's exactly what happens. It grows We did it We did it We did it chat We did it I do believe that I can win I do I do I do I do I do That's pretty fun That was pretty fun chat. I enjoyed that Very very cool Well, that should do it How did you manage to destroy everything here except the servers? I have really good aim. I'm sure our server communication says this is good We'll back at the garden office for a degree.  Bodies Oh, that was a reboot. He did it. That's gonna be it for prismata That was surprisingly fun I thought I was gonna struggle I actually thought I was gonna struggle at the game and be terrible at it, but They made the tutorial easy to adjust and I kind of felt Like I was understanding it so that's good. It's a good tutorial Um I imagine you could get very difficult though Much like in rts strategy games You're probably gonna have counters and You know weak spots and strong things about different units and stuff There's probably cheese already that people have already countered Typical rts form Seems like an interesting game though. I like the uh, I like the idea I like the two ideas meshed. I like rts like our game. I'm not good either I used to be kind of good at rts is never good at card games um But this is like a this is like a rts that doesn't require a p.m. You know it's turn-based rts strategy What made rts real time was that there was no pausing. So I guess it's just strategy game So that's prismata, man. Thanks everybody for coming by that sponsor stream. That was actually pretty good You can check it out for free It is on steam. I'll show you the steam page and link you to it


It was a very, very enjoyable and exciting experience and because people from various fields were together in the group and our different perspectives added to a more nuanced understanding of each entry and sometimes we circled back once again to some entry when there was a difference of opinion, understood it deeper and in a way connected better with each other before controlling. I think the simplicity in the strategic thinking, the creativity in the expression of the solution and overall presentation of the entry to us to bring alive the value of that entry. What is fresh in my mind is a film, a mark of our essence by catch is something that I would remember and take back with me.
