everybody. I want to start by, if you can see everything here, I want to start by showing this new device that I have which shows you how far we've come along with technology. This is the thing called the Travis. I use it everywhere and I give you an example of what it does. It is really a great pleasure to be with you today. I'm in Switzerland where it's cold. You could say that's not bad, right? This is now a device that's inside, it's not a phone, it's connected with a SIM card and everything. It's basically science fiction that's becoming science fact, right? And that's happening all around us and this device is not perfect. In fact, it's pretty bad by translating things that are not normal, like my own name, for example. But in a few years, you can say that basically everybody can speak 50 languages using these devices. I want to talk today about what it means to be a futurist and to help people understand the future in this kind of world because this is definitely not the same world that 20 years ago. 20 years ago it was actually easier to be a futurist because most of the things weren't there. And today you can think of really far out things and science fiction things and it seems like they're already here. Especially, of course, if you watch shows like Black Mirror and so on. So I'm going to go through this and then hopefully we'll take some questions at the end. And we're going to distribute the slides, of course, after the speech. We're also making a video so hopefully the video will turn out good. Then we can share that, right? So first I want to show you what I do. I work on equal parts on this technology angle, understanding technology. Many of my clients are technology companies. But most of my work is really about bringing the two things together. And it's a constant back and forth. Some engagements that I do, I do about 100 a year and I speak to people about their future. Some of them are very much about technology and less about the human part because they may be a software company or the state of Singapore. And then we talk about the other things. So it's this combination of human things and technical things. That's kind of my cup of tea. And so I call myself a humanist because I'm interested in the human angle. What does it do for people, for society, for happiness? I think that that is really the important angle because if it's all about technology, you become a commodity. I mean, basically technology will be everywhere. It's the most powerful thing in the world today is technology. But you can't eat technology and you can't make love to computers. Or at least you could try but it wouldn't turn out well as the movie has shown us. So I often get this question about how we deal with all the information. And I think it's really important that we realize that humans are not efficient. I'm not like this. I'm not made from data. I'm not super human. And it's great to be faster or more efficient. I work on that a lot. But ultimately it's really about this.  That's really the biggest selling factor also if you're thinking about which way you're going to head in the future. In many ways my work entails a kind of therapy. So I help companies go into the digital tunnel. And of course, governments, politicians and individuals is to understand all those things that's coming and then basically come up with an approach that is more realistic, more practical than just kind of understanding it but also creating your future. So I have five key words for this. I use the word Greek word phronosis which is practical wisdom. Practical wisdom means we talk about things that may be concepts but they're always practical. So when I talk about the end of oil or data is the new oil those are practical things that we have to turn it to reality. And I don't work on predictions. I think that's probably more unique. I don't think predictions are very valuable in a world that is dramatically changing and pretty much unpredictable. I don't think we can predict the future. We can only create the future. And we can use our foresight to be ready for this. But you know, very few people predicted the Brexit or Donald Trump or Bolsonaro. I mean, we are living in a world that's getting more unpredictable but we can get more foresight and insights and that can help us to develop intuition. I think the most important thing about helping people with the future is intuition. And this is why I totally believe that being a futurist is an art. It's not really a science. There's lots of science involved. If you're so inclined, you could be more scientific. But my work is more about feeling it, imagining it. And I've done pretty well the last 15 years. I've had four sides that have realized very quickly. So like in the music business, I talked about music like water in what was it 2004. And finally we have Spotify with just music like water. I told the car company seven years ago that the main thing about the car business was not to have a car and to switch to electric cars and they didn't believe it. But that's what we have. So practical wisdom, four sides, insights. As we're going into the digital tunnel, it's quite clear that much of it will be confusing. I always say if you're not confused, you're probably not thinking about the future enough. And I use this approach of saying this is really my work is very much about the observation and to have a future mindset. And I think this is an important thing for our clients. It's not about knowing the future or predicting the future. Some people are very good at this like Ray Kurzweil. Of course, Alvin Toffler, Arthur C. Clarke. But this is really more for the average person, it's more about the mindset. Being open, observing, intuition. I think this is really where our big decisions are coming from. And it would be wrong if we were to try to prove everything that we may be hearing. But we need to just find a way with our imagination. I think that's the most important part. And so as we're going down this road in the future, all the things I'll talk about later, the game changers, you know, artificial intelligence and 3D printing. They're happening faster and faster and faster.  Going to the airport and then you go in the German highway. That's two and a 20 kilometers an hour. We're going to go faster and faster and faster. And we have to learn how to navigate this. This is my mission. This is our mission as people who work in the future. We have to help our clients see stuff, to understand them, to navigate them, and then ultimately to create. We cannot create the future for our client. Again, this is much like a therapist. A therapist does not tell the couple that they should get divorced. The couple will find out themselves or they will not. But, you know, you help them navigate. You help them understand. You do not give them recipes. It's important unless you're like really totally sure that this is the right thing to do. Recipes are almost always wrong because you don't know the whole surrounding part, the cultural part, and, you know, all the things. So, let's talk about what is foresight. What exactly do I mean by foresight? Looking ahead, seeing what's coming rather than what already happened. So foresight is about being open-minded for amazing new things and, of course, reading a lot, studying a lot, constantly reading. I read 10 books a month. That's kind of my goal. And, of course, lots and lots of RSS feeds and social media. And, you know, reading and watching videos, of course, is crucial. Many films on this topic, documentaries, that is. I try to avoid Hollywood. But take this issue, for example, of artificial meat. You know, basically, well, not artificial, like lab-grown meat. You know, this meat is grown in the laboratory. It's a substitute for real meat, but it's made from cows, from the cells. Right now, it's $2,000 a pound. But when we look at this future, it's quite clear we have to be critical, but we also have to be open-minded, because these are the stats. I'm talking about, this is a very big topic in Brazil, meat consumption. We're going to go to cultured meat. Bill Gates has invested. Richard Branson has invested. And conventional meat will be around for a long time. But can we afford it with the current global warming scenario, and of course the Amazon is the prime example of why people are roding everything because they can find places for the cattle to grow up and to be produced? So, very big consumption. When we think about this whole idea of having four sets, it's really about open-mindedness, but also being able to say, no, I don't think that's going to happen, or to be critical. be critical. My colleague Paul Saffo, who is in San Francisco, he runs an institute there. He always says, we should not confuse a good view with a short distance. And so that's something we have to keep in mind, you know, how much, how long will that take? And is it ready? Is it not ready? Very important. Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, of course, he used to say all this about algorithms, about data. Basically, he said everybody needs to bring data when they come and see me, except for God. He can come without data. And he says, when it comes to really important decisions, it's all about data. But then the other day, he said this, right? He talked about what I call the andro rhythms, the human rhythms, not the algorithms, which is a big topic in my book, chapter four. It's very important because, of course, you know that. Where Jeff says, all my best decisions in business and life have been made with hard intuition. So this is an important question for us because this is how we're going to advise clients and of course our companies that we're working in. Well, the other thing is it's not either or it's both, right? It's data, science, and it's intuition. Intuition is not data. Intuition is influenced by data, but it's about art, right? So with the andro rhythms are the part that is more artistic. And the algorithms is the technology about we have to mix them, right? We have to use knowledge, but then we also have to use imagination. This is very important. I mean, the Germans are masters of this whole idea of saying that everything is engineered.  But in reality, that's not the case. It's always a mix of those two things. That's a very important learning, I think, from the 15 years I've been doing this. And of course, there's no such thing as a right brain, left brain. There's no such thing as saying, you know, I work with logic or data or I don't. It's all one thing with humans. Computers are different. Computers have logic. They don't have emotion. They don't have existence. Very important to realize for us that we're always thinking with everything. Many psychologists are saying we're thinking with the body, not with the brain. The brain is plastic. It could do many different things. There is no right brain, left brain in the traditional sense. So when we talk about foresides, very important. This is very hard for companies that I work with. They work in hindsight. So they experience trouble. They look back and say, oh, we have to change. And that's how they get insights. But we have to actually do it like this. The past is the past. We have to learn from it. The present is the present. But the future will be entirely different. It's not an extension of the present. You know, in 10 years, it's going to be the end of oil. We're going to shift to entirely new energy. What is that going to mean for Brazil and for other countries that are kind of all dependent? We're going to have a different future. We have to invent that future, not from the present, but starting with the future. So asking the questions, what if, you know, what happens when oil declines? And we see all these things, you know, about foresides. We have to actually have different windows. We have today. We have to do today well. And that's often my job as well, is to help companies today and governments, of course. And then there's tomorrow, which is going to be quite different. And we have to make a difference.  And this is a very particular skill for futurists. And for the work that I do, you have to be able to understand why it's important to perform today and to make things more efficient and so on. And then there's a future which is completely different. And to explain that to people, you know, sometimes that's pretty hard because they're not used to thinking of two levels at the same time. That's more what musicians do or artists do. So the other important thing is that we need to think about giving hope to our clients. And we are in a situation that is significant future shock, especially in Brazil, right? And this is also increasing exponentially.  We have automation. The robots are coming. Geopolitical things. Neopopulism, neo-Nazism. And we have a lot of things happening. So many people are worried about the future. And you could say that we have good reasons to worry. But I take it the other way around. I'm like, I think we're also solving many, many things. Yet the only thing we need to do is when we think about the future shock and we have, I always say, the future is better than we think. We need governance. We need to work together to solve them because technology will solve so many things if we apply it correctly. And that's the human part. Technology doesn't solve anything by itself. This is really what we need to do. Here's a chart from World Economic Forum. If you look at this chart, it's funny. You can say whatever you believe in. It could be really bad. It could be really good. So on the left hand is the positive things. You can download that later. The red one is not so good things. And folks up, if you look at artificial intelligence, it's actually in both sides, advances in AI. It's both on the left side, the good side, and the negative side. So I always say it could be heaven or it could be hell. That's really up to us to decide because technology doesn't make moral ethical value decisions. So the future is better than we think. It's about governance. And this goes for companies, goes for cities, goes for states and countries. And of course, in 20 years, I think we all agree it's quite likely we'll have the world government in 20 years because as you can see with Boltonera on the Amazon, there are many countries who are now worried about the Amazon even though it doesn't belong to them. They have no control over it. These are global issues. So we have to govern wisely. I'll get back to this in a second and we can discuss some more of that too. The other thing is when we think about the future, we always have to think about culture and mindset. If our client has a different culture that is top down and centralized or it's a family company where it's only one person in the 70s deciding what the company should be doing or of course politics. You know, this is really what I mean. I think Peter Drucker once said, strategy eats technology for breakfast. And I always say, you know, culture eats technology for breakfast. Do not make a change with technology when the culture isn't there. That usually ends very badly. So we have to keep this in mind and say, okay, it's a large ecosystem of different things. And every client is different. This is why it's so hard to give a recipe. And I prefer to have my clients discover their own recipe. Again, like a therapist. And that's a much healthier approach because it's not quite as a tall order to actually realize this. Thanks for the last point on this. How do we actually change people and governments and our companies? Well, we don't change just because we want to change. There has to be a reason. I mean, human change factors are pain and love. That's it. We change because we have pain. We realize all of a sudden we're lonely or we're left in the dark to dry or we lost all of our evidence streams. Our business has gone away. And then we say, okay, it's over. So I can do something else. And then we fall in love with people, with ideas, with concepts. And those two things are the biggest change factor. If your company isn't changing, maybe they don't have enough pain yet. So you have to give them some pain. But most importantly, you have to make them fall in love with a new idea, introduce a new concept. And this is, of course, in Brazil. This is very clear when I teach in Brazil and do seminars. When people are in love with an idea, it usually happens very quickly. So pain is a not very good long-term change factor. It's just sort of a catalyst, much better for us to find new things and say, how about this? Would this be something that you can feel excited about? So some context as to the future, some few more technical things, but I will not go greatly into this because I'm sure you've covered most of this in the other stuff. Chapter three in my book, if you have my book, otherwise you can download this entire chapter for free, megashifts.digital. It's on the internet and it's also in Portuguese. And if you don't speak Portuguese, or if you speak Spanish or English or Russian or Chinese, it's in 10 different languages there. Megashifts.digital. You should read that first, really, as a way to get into the book. And when people talk about digital transformation, especially in Brazil, they're usually very much like recipe and formula oriented. But the reality is that transformation is like a moving map, right, like this. I call that the megashifts. And I did this three years ago and it's constantly changing now. So we have so many things happening at the same time. And as a feature of this, you really have to understand all of them, whether it's about robotization, about disintermediation, like in retail, about personalization and cognition, which is smart systems. And this is really the nuts and bolts of sort of the new way of understanding business and of course society and governance as well. I'm not going to get into much into that because you can easily read that later. But suffice to say that is something that's really important for our background. So in this world where we're heading and consider yourself lucky because I guarantee you every company, every state, every city, every governor, every politician will need a futurist to help them. A therapist, a future therapist. Because we're talking about the biggest technological transformation in human history where our body is changing, our genome can be changed, our head can be connected to AI. I mean, we're talking about 10 years. It's basically our limited 20 years totally unlimited. And 2050, the convergence of what technology and humans can do, literally bringing us together in what's been called the singularity, which I'm not a great fan of, but we'll discuss that later. So really what's happening here is that, you know, this is the what I call the future principle, the first three, part of my next book. The model of the future as exponential is all going like this, right? Moore's law, Metcalfe's law. The industries are converging. Banking is technology. Media is technology. Transportation is technology. Government is technology. And it's combining all different parts of this powerful sciences, you know, like the cloud and quantum computing and the mobile. They're all coming together. We have to understand this because this is not just going to be a small process. And especially not in countries that are not as far developed as, say, Germany or so, where it's already quite mature, there will be leaps. All of a sudden new things become possible and new questions will be asked. And we have to be able to understand and see their consequences. So print this out and put it on your wall. This is basically what's happening all around us in healthcare and banking. It's converging. It's combinatorial. It's extremely powerful. 4, 8, 16, 32, right? Not 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, not linear. So give you an example of the exponential thinking. Very hard for humans to understand because we are not exponential. We are limited by our biology. We're organic. That is a great advantage. But for thinking it makes it hard. 30 steps from here, I guess, across the living room. And 30 steps up exponentially, I go to the moon. Metcalf's law, the power of networks. This is Facebook, for example. Every user multiplies the whole system by two. This is why we have this powerful network effect of the international platform companies, which have to be regulated because they're becoming more powerful. I mean, Mark Zuckerberg is essentially the global president today, which I'm quite worried about. So the principle of the future is gradually then suddenly. So in other words, you don't see much. And then everything is ready and everything is reaching the takeoff point. Like electric cars, like telebanking, like telepresence, like all these things are 3D printing. You don't see much. All of a sudden, boom, it's there. Like Spotify, all of a sudden, people are paying 10 dollars a month. I think it's a little bit less in Brazil. For Spotify, it's 120 million subscribers. It's basically exploded. It's very important to realize as a special for businesses, we don't have a lot of time to observe. We have to understand when the takeoff happens. And here's our challenge. We are not exponential, but technology is surpassing us in power. Roughly 10 years for that to really happen. We can speak to computers. We can command computers. We can rely on computers for important information. Computers are making decisions for us. They can see us. They can understand us. Can they think? No, they can't think. But they can calculate and they can compute, not think like a human. But we are not. So really what's happening here is that machine smartness will be everywhere. But to be a smart human, that is almost impossible for a machine. I would say it may be possible in 30, 40 years. It's it's it's thinkable. But for the time being, this is what we do, right? We are more human. So it becomes much more important for us to be more human and to have the skills that humans have, which are on the opposite side of the spectrum. Here are the game changes. You can download that later. Again, I won't talk about it very much. This is more like technical. So these are the nine things that are changing every single company and government and organization, the cloud, smart computing, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, the blockchain, 3D, augmented reality, and human genome editing. That's the last one. Become anything. And those are the driving forces. So if you haven't looked at that background, you should because that's basically the background information to why everything is changing. And I don't think there's any real way for us to go back and say, we don't want this. There's really just only a way of orchestrating it and putting it in the right place. Quantum computing is a great example, which is 3D computing. That's being invented everywhere, and basically it means a computer has the computing power a million times of what we have now. Like this mobile phone would be in 10 years, roughly, we have 5 million X computing power in the cloud, of course, in six weeks of battery. So we have to understand that background is important. So I want to get back to the other topic about what we actually do as futurists and which where we're heading with this. I think that is really the important part. I call this a new renaissance. And you know the renaissance from the 1500s in Italy, which led to the Enlightenment and then to the to the Reformation was primarily based on the thinking that the most important thing in life is no longer the Pope or God, it's the humans. And that happened in the 1500s. And I think now we're having another renaissance where we go from this idea of technology being so important in many ways you could say, technology has become the new God. You know, I'm not religious, so sorry if I step on your toes there, but technology is the most powerful. People pray to technology or they love technology. And now digital transformation is everywhere. And this is a part of this whole discussion that this transformation has led in many cases to what I call dehumanization, which is essentially things are no longer as human as they should be. And machines are taken over and we have this also unemployment because of automation of call centers and driving. And that is now being rethought. The last two years have brought this topic which is a big part of my book of ethics. You know, what do we really want from technology? And I think now we're looking at places like Singapore or Denmark or many others where countries are saying, you know what, it's not just about having amazing technology. We have to have human purpose. We have to be happy. You know, we have to find a way to do this. And I call this a new renaissance. This is one of my new speak in topics for next year. To where we're reorienting towards what it means to be well as a human rather than to be well equipped with technology. And this also helps with this discussion. I'm sure you've seen this about. I use it quite a bit. But you know, this is so many people are thinking, okay, we're going to be useless humans because technology can do everything. And so you would say technology can do bookkeeping. Technology can do financial advice. Technology can even fix your teeth. Technology can operate. Technology can scan for melanomas. I mean, it can do everything. But it can't do it like humans. I think we're not going to be useless. We're going to be different. We're going to have less routine work because technology does the routine. And I think this is really important. It's the end of routine. Could be at the end of the job if your job is totally routine, like a supermarket. Check out the supermarket or the call center. But you know, you also have 21 million jobs in social media. Now, that didn't exist just 10 years ago. And so new jobs are being made all the time. For example, I think when Brazil goes away from fossil fuel and oil and gas and coal, the next wave of green energy will create worldwide. It has been said 100 million new jobs in green energy. So I don't think we'll be useless. We have to be prepared. This is very important for education. You can see on this chart here, when AI comes in, you know, I always say artificial intelligence AI, when AI meets AI, human intelligence, then it's basically all upside down. And you can see here on this slide, on the lower part, manufacturing, transportation, those jobs are declining because machines can do them. Construction even, building, no 3D printing of houses. But on the top end, they're increasing. So more healthcare jobs, more scientific jobs, technical jobs, more communications, more futurists. I mean, anything that's a soft skill will increase. If you have kids, this is what they have to learn. Hard skills are always good, but they can't be automated. I mean, computers are good at hard skills, you know, basically learning how to reproduce and to simulate. But we are much better at soft skills. This is very important that we also teach our kids to create their future jobs and to look in this direction. So our ultimate job is to be human. I mean, this is a job that machines will never reach, unless we teach them and allow them and engineer them to be like humans, which we should not do. And anyway, that's 30 or 40 years away, even the possibility, because we don't really understand how we are in terms of computing and biology. So basically our ultimate job is to do what we can do best, right? Imagination, design, understanding, negotiation, intuition, foresight, storytelling, narratives. I'm very hard for a computer. That's called the Moorowetch Paradox. Moorowetch was a famous futurist and an Eastern Europe and a scientist. I think he's actually still alive. And he once said that basically whatever is simple for a computer is hard for a human, and what is simple for a human is hard for a computer. I think that's going to be true, hopefully for quite some time, at least 30 years. And we wouldn't want to touch that, just my personal view, that we wouldn't want to the computer, the machine to become too much like us. That could end very badly for us. You know, Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking have talked about this. So what makes us human? Well, we have eight or 10 or 12, some scientists say, researchers say, different kinds of intelligence. Emotional intelligence, for example, is very hard to define. Lots of research on this shows, by the way, that women have a lot more emotional intelligence than men. So many people are saying women are much better suited for the future because these skills will be needed because they're different than robots.  And if it's just about being smart and fast, the robot will beat you. And currently, that's not really the case, but give it five years, 10 years, the computer will speak or will see, it will discuss, it will debate, it will, you know, you can even marry a robot. You can already do that, but this will become, in many ways, a proposition. So you're going to get to places where robots can do all the things, but do they have a really kinesthetic, you know, the body? Do they have social intelligence, musical intelligence? And so we are much, much ahead of machines here. And I would say at this point, compare it a bit to like the most fanciest camera in the iPhone, the iPhone 11. I've read a report the other day that even the fanciest camera you can buy in a mobile phone like the iPhone 11 or so, it still only captures less than 1% of what your eye is capable of capturing at your memory. It's far removed from being the same. It's just the tool that we use. It's still very good, obviously. I have one. So our mission is this, right? We have to help our companies to re-humanize and by using technology. We have to think about this as a new era of futurism where it's no longer going to be about saying, oh, God, look at this amazing tool, you know, by the software package or, you know, all those things that we used to do, which is to praise technology and to help people understand technology. That's all good. But now we have to go a step further. We have to say, okay, there's a new era coming where it's about people and where value is created with people. That makes me to one of my last chapters here and then we'll take some questions. I know there's lots of material here, but you'll get the PDF in the video. You can watch it again and you can use the device to translate. So new paradigms. We have the biggest paradigm changer right now and this is, in my view, now getting to a really, really difficult place. Not good news, especially not for Brazil, but pretty much for any country that has large nature surroundings.  Look at all the stuff that is going up is China, the US, and Asia, right? And Europe is declining greenhouse emissions from agricultural production of beef. Very big problem. And this is why the Dutch government is now trying to do away with beef. And this slide here is the most depressing. There's foresight, basically, research showing that if we go up, as it looks like right now, we're going to continue going up with the CO2 and the PPMs and basically the amount of global warming. When it goes to four degrees of five on a global level, all of the Southern Hemisphere will be in deep trouble because basically we're looking at desertification, we're looking at climate refugees. We look at Africa in the Middle East and then basically uninhabitable, you know, at five degrees extra. And we're talking about sea level rise of not just two meters like Venice right now. We're talking about 50 meters, right? So the Northern Hemisphere is less touched by this, of course, even though for other reasons they are, but look at Brazil, that's not at the very top there, but yeah, it's not looking pretty. So that's the 50 year horizon. We're talking about 200 million climate refugees. So when we take this, we can say what's going to happen in the next five to 10 years, we're going to see dramatic CO2 regulation. And this will be mandatory from the UN, just like nuclear weapons. We're going to see CO2, like shutting down coal plants, CO2 tax on flying airplanes, prohibition of cars and cities, CO2 carbon tax pretty much everywhere, including meat. Hard to imagine in Brazil, yeah, I know, but we've seen that already happening here in Europe, but EZJET just announced mandatory CO2, KLM announced that other airlines are following suit. Some airlines are saying we shouldn't fly, we should take the train. I mean, this is all happening already, and the switch to electric cars, China has banned the traditional mopeds, you know, the gas engine mopeds with electric ones has replaced them now. And so we're going to see dramatic, dramatic regulation. This is a great opportunity for us as feature list to contribute. Finally, 20 years ago, I tried this, nobody was interested. Yeah, but huge paradigm shift. The second one that goes here, and this is why it's important that we talk about climate change, because it's a trigger. The second one is human change. How technology changes us. Exponential technological change makes us forget ourselves, gets us addicted, the robot takes over our thinking. It's not coming to kill us quite yet, but yeah, technology is also one of those things that's kind of like digital pollution. Also very, very big problem in Brazil, the addiction to mobile devices, Facebook, Instagram. And how do we regulate this? I don't know, we can regulate this. But clearly, this is the paradigm that I've been proposing in my book, and I explain it a little bit more detail here. This is the new future, the Renaissance paradigm to where we think, okay, a company must have holistic business models, must all benefit everyone. It must have a circular logic, sustainable, recycling, bringing things back into the system, and it must create human benefits. So the three bottom lines, three human future principles. All right, holistic people, planet purpose, prosperity, circular economics, and the focus on human benefit. You can bet on this becoming the new normal. I know it's hard to believe today because many companies are doing exactly the opposite, and many countries like the US also doing exactly the opposite. But I think we can see this, the business roundtable in the US, the top 200 CEOs of US companies have said the future is not about shareholder value anymore, it's about stakeholder value. Stakeholder are people, planet vendors, partners, humans, employees. And they make a very big noise about making the fundamental changes of the stock market. So I think we're going to see a new stock market model here. I've described this several times in this paradigm of people, planet purpose and prosperity. I can guarantee you there's a five-year window is to not pay attention to this. All other companies in the world that make on that switch are ready to create a wider angle. I call this sustainable capitalism. It's not socialism, even though it may sometimes sound like it, but it's basically a way of keeping our economic system sustainable. So that is something that we need to take a lead in and help companies understand why that's important. So I'll finish off with the ethics part. It's quite clear that technology is the governing force of society and also the major money maker now. But technology has no ethics. Computers don't understand feelings. They may understand our feelings, but they have no feelings. So it's quite a difference between reading emotion in a human and having emotion. That's not at all the same thing. So when we're seeing a computer that reads us, then it doesn't actually feel anything. It doesn't have any agenda. It just doesn't care. So this is very important for us. And if we define ethics as knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and to know what is the right thing to do, that's ethics. And it's becoming more important than ever before because now technology is becoming so powerful that it's really all about that handshake. It's all about are we going to collaborate or are we going to become enemies of technology? Are we going to compete with technology which we can't win? So key topic, I think every country, every state, every city, there's a nervous working very hard on their status of this whole idea of positive technology. Lisbon, Barcelona, Copenhagen. Yeah, it's a global discussion that we see everywhere. Because now we're at the takeoff point on this curve. Again, consider yourself lucky because you're not down there where nothing is moving. You're actually at the knee of the curve, the takeoff curve. So now it's 4, 8, 16, 32 and so on. And so now the old question of saying, does technology work? How does it do it? And all of those practical things, that is going to be replaced in the very near future by the why question. Why are we doing this? Who is doing it? Can we trust them? And that's where value is going to be created. So we have five more years to sort of close the window on the old way of thinking. And this is happening very quickly in Europe. We're only two years away from this of understanding why this is the major issue. That's why the European Commission has had so many attempts at breaking up tech companies and leveraging fines and the GDPR and all of those things that we see here. So a good move would be in Brazil. I think this has already been instigated in many ways and I've talked about this for 10 years, but we need to have a council of the wise people. And we'll talk about the really wise people, not the futurists, even though they are some, they can be really wise, but they kind of are a total kind of people, so-called just kind of people who are going to think about what we should do with technology. Should we change the genome of our baby so it will not get sick?   Every large organization, every company, every city will have an ethics officer, a person deciding what to do with technology and what not. In fact, I think many of us will end up with this job to find a balance between those things, to have a broader view. So that's definitely coming. I can see that happening everywhere. Final thoughts. We are not trajectory to where we can no longer be human roughly in 20 years. It is possible for us to connect our brain to the internet. Now we're connecting our mobile phone. Very soon we connect the glasses and then we connect the neuralase, Elon Musk, the brain-computer interface. We have to decide how far we want to take this. It's not a technical question. If it takes 20 years or 30 years or 50 years, it's not going to take 500 years. And then the question is, okay, what do we want? Do we want to become a hybrid? Is that a good thing? Who's going to be in charge? Who can afford it? Are we going to have more equality?  It's very important. Marshall McLuhan, one of the most favorite features, even though he didn't use that word, I don't think, but you know, Marshall McLuhan helped. He did say that basically all extensions of man, all the extra stuff that we do, they also amputate things, like our feelings being in touch with ourselves and so on. And this is a very, very difficult position to make. That's one that the state also has to make to say, is it going to be legal or not? That's a very big question for our future. Tim Cook, who I greatly admire, the CEO of Apple in his positioning of Apple. You know, Apple has become so successful also because Apple is probably the only tech company that goes very heavy on privacy. And also that's why I'm an Apple user. But he said in the conference where I was actually speaking in the afternoon, he said technology can do great things, but it does not want to do great things. It doesn't want anything. And to remain human, we're going to have technology to tell technology what we want. And we have to limit technology and we have to protect what makes us human. So this is also very important for our clients. You know, it's the key to our future, not just technology. That will be like saying the key to a carpenter's career is the hammer. It's not. It's his mind and his understanding and his wishes, right? Because basically machines don't do any of the stuff that's really important to us. Machines don't do relationships and they certainly don't do any of this. And ultimately, I can tell you, this is what your clients want from you. They want to understand the purpose. They want to get curious. They want to see four sides. Yeah, these are human things. Character skills. I mean, basically, if you tell clients about technical solutions, they will appreciate that because it's useful, right? But really in the end, it's about larger things. And at least that's how I look at my work is to help them unlock imagination, find purpose, and those kind of things. And then lastly, the issue of what we do is featureless. Many people think that the world is like yes or no. AI is good. AI is bad. Robots are good. Robots are bad. But it's actually not like this. It's more like this at where we are essentially always in a mix between those answers. It's always depends. And there's two paradigms. One is the sort of proactive paradigm, which is going to do pretty much anything, right? They're courageous. And the other paradigm is more basically keeping values, right? It's more what's called the cautionary approach. And we have to combine the two. John McCarthy, the AI guy who was more on the cautionary approach, he said we shouldn't do that because it could end up badly. And other ones were not. So this is something we have to think about. You know how we're going to combine all the things that are possible in good ways and in bad ways. And that is definitely an art. I'll leave you with a final scene for my upcoming book, which, well, upcoming is going to be at least a year. So the six future principles. The top three ones we talked about earlier you have to understand this. You have to understand what it means and the progress and the exponential change because that's the driving force behind everything. But that's really more technology and science. And here is the human things that we have to understand that we have to have holistic business models. We have to stop inequality. We have to decrease poverty even more. That's been a big discussion, of course, in Brazil. We have to respect our planet. We have to switch to a circular economy. All very large opportunities. So there's lots and lots of new ways of initiatives and also of jobs. And then end up with the human focus, not the technology focus. That's why I call it the new Renaissance. Going away from saying it's all important that it's so efficient and fast and cheap and that we can order a pizza and it comes with a robot and whatever it is. Yeah, we need to have human benefit, which includes interaction, relationships, engagement, not machines. So I want to thank you for your time. I know this was a lot of stuff. You've probably written down 500 questions and let's switch to discussion mode.


My name is Addison. I'm from Louisiana. I got here about six years ago back in 2015. And when I got here, Dr. Yan had no less than a dozen projects already funded, ready to go. So I pretty much hit the ground running. And one of the first things we did, we went out to a growers field down in Cogsville, North Dakota, which is about an hour and a half southwest of Fargo, real sandy soil, about 90% sand, 8% silt, 2% clay. Nematodes love it. And we went down there, looked at its potato field, cut open a couple of tubers. He was growing milva, was a cultivar variety. And sure enough, these brown, necrotic, corky lesions, ring like structures on the inside of the flesh. And I'm like, huh, that looks like corky ring spot disease. And after I Google it, I figured it out, you know. And he's like, all right, how do I stop this from happening? And we're like, that's a great question.  And we had a lot of bites. Because the thing is, there's not a lot of chemicals that are available right now that only target the nematode pests that cause the disease. We have a lot of chemicals that kill a lot of beneficial microorganisms, the micro micro fauna that live in the soil and promote soil health. So a lot of companies are trying to find that kind of middle ground where we can kill things that are causing problems and not cause a lot of extra collateral damage. So the way this disease works is it's caused by tobacco rattle virus. The tobacco rattle virus is vector to transmitted like Dr. Yon said, by stubby root nematode. So it travels from place to place. It can get stuck in your shoes. So wash your shoes after you leave the field, please. Thank you. And, uh, and yeah, with those quirky lesions in there, it's not that it causes a lot of yield reductions, a lot of weight reductions. The problem is that it's quality reductions because there's a lot of companies be trying to sell you potatoes to McDonald's, the top dollar, you know, they're going to cut into it and they're going to say, Hey, there's stuff in there and they'll reject the whole, the whole truck. Then you got to chop them up and sell them for Idaho spuds for pennies in the dollar. You know, not good. So we did a bunch of tests and we wanted to test this against what's called the industry standard. Now, the industry standard is a chemical called Vidate. Oxamil is the active ingredient. This stuff is an acetylcholin esterase inhibitor, which is a neurotransmitter required for muscle flexation. So if you breathe it in, your diaphragm will seize up and you will suffocate. It's bad stuff. So as you can see in this little flyer that we made here, right there in the middle, we got Russ and myself wearing a full protective equipment, full PPE in the middle of the summer. It's exfoliating, say the least. And we got our full, we got our half mask on. We got gloves, the two gloves up to our elbows, boots, Tyvek suit, the whole, the whole kinkaboodle, because you do not want to touch this stuff. And we tested it against a whole bunch of chemicals that we got from the companies like Dr. Yon Said, Mevento, Serenade, which is Bacillus subtilis, which is actually a biological control agent, Majestine, another biological, and Villum Prime. Then, right below our PPE picture, you can see the symptoms right there, those potato tubers with the corky ring spot on it. And underneath that, we got this nice, beautiful graph that I made in Microsoft PowerPoint. On the left side, you got your percentages from zero up to about 45. The yellow, you got incidents, and the green, you got severity. This is the disease ratings I do at the end of the trial every year. And then I did Tukey's HSD to divide it to see what the differences are and anything that's not sharing a common letter is significantly different from one another, okay? Now, as you're looking across these graphs here, tell me, what has the lowest disease incidence? Which combination of chemicals? It's quiz time. Anybody? The second one, right? Vidate times three. You apply a lot of it on a pretty high concentration, you apply it often, and you get pretty good control of the symptoms, but that's the thing that we're trying to replace, because that is the industry standard, and it is just a blast to apply. So, every year we've done this experiment with funding from Bear Crop Science, and we're super grateful for that, as well as from a few other companies, Marine Bioinnovation, VASF, and a few others across the years, and we're still working on it, still trying to find a solution. Next thing I want to tell you all is that, guys, right now, the greenhouse at NDSU is beautiful. I got three-foot-tall potato plants that are deep green color. They're starting to flower, and I got 40 different cultivars there, too. I got everything. I got your burbanks. I got reds. I got yellows. All different kinds of experimental cultivars, and they're gorgeous. What we're trying to do is trying to find out which exactly, which one of these potatoes are the best cultivars that the nematodes like the most, which ones they reproduce the best on, also which ones that they reproduce the least on. That's our target. So, it's a lot of fun. It's a lot of good work. Also on the right side, in the green box, you got a picture of lesion nematode on the right, and stubby root nematode right there in the middle. Then you got some foliar symptoms on the leaves right there, little yellow streaks right on the leaves, intravenous chlorotic lesions, and you won't see a lot of foliar symptoms. It's mostly in the tuber, so, and you won't know that as nematodes until you call us and we come get some soil.


Would you rather pay $650 or $66 for a smart phone? Simple.  Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. Yesterday, we gave you a preview of Kentucky's newest drug rehab center right here in Pike County. Today, that building was full of people, from local elected officials to Governor Matt Bevan, who was amazed at the building's transformation. Again, to me, what's beautiful about a school is that it launches dreams, it launches kids on any number of trajectories. It helps people to start to believe in themselves and their future. And they go out of places like here, as young Mustangs, the Millard Mustangs at this particular school. And they go out of here with the belief that they can do anything.  And now, through addiction recovery and through the ARC program and the things that are going to be done, people are going to go back out of here again as kind of new graduates with like a new lease on life and an opportunity to go out there and to re-seize those dreams that they had when they left here the first time, even if they didn't come physically to this school. I just think the irony of this building being repurposed to help ignite dreams and to set people off on successful paths in life is just a beautiful thing. It's literally a rebirth of a building. It symbolizes the rebirth of opportunity. And the core underlying powerful influence beneath all of it is hope. And here's what I know. When a person loses hope, they lose a sense of belief that there's a future. Then they lose their faith in humanity. And eventually they lose their own sense of humanity. And they start to make inhumane decisions about themselves, about their lifestyle, about things they do to themselves and those around them. And so what I love about this is that it's the reverse of all of that. It is giving people hope. It's restoring humanity. It's restoring their confidence and their belief. And great things are going to come out of here. Lives are going to be changed. This community is going to be led by people who got their second chance back under the very roof we're standing under right now. Tim Robinson, founder and CEO of Addiction Recovery Care, says he is excited to become a part of this community. At the Old Millard School, ARC will be renovating lives, much like the building itself. One of the things I can tell you is when we're fully operational here, we'll have 120 beds in between 35 and 40 employees and put a lot of jobs in this community. But most importantly, for the folks that live here in this community and the region, because I think this will be a regional treatment center, they're going to be able to come here and get world-class care. And we're not only going to treat them, but we're also going to help them go through vocational rehabilitation through our spirituality program and help get them back to work. We like to say we take people from crisis to career. We also have a 1-800 number for people who want to be able to just call somebody and say, where can I bring someone? Where can I go? 1-833-8KY-HELP. 1-833-8KY-HELP is a number that people can call and literally get a live person to help direct them to resources available for them or a family member or a friend. And then finally, there's a website where people can get resources. It's called findhelpnowky.org. All spelled out, findhelpnowky.org, and a person can find all sorts of resources. I just beg people, take the stigma away. After all, one degree away, including myself, I'm the governor of this state, I have immediate family members who have lost a battle to this crisis, and I'm not alone. All of us are one degree away from this, if we're honest about it. So let's destigmatize it, let's remove the shame, the embarrassment, and let's talk about this, put it out there, and come together as a community and help each other out.

Oh no, it's good for the air reactions. Oh really? I'm in, Gemma. Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel. Welcome to another video. So, as you can tell from the title, we're bringing my parents back. I love my in-house audience. So, we've done this before, they've reacted to my climbing outfits, we're doing it again. Please be nice. Okay, come on, come in, come in. So, this is my mum and dad. Hello. Did you not want to put on any nice clothes? These are my nice clothes. And my little sister, she was also in the last one, so basically it's the whole family just judging me. But I've got five outfits that you've, I don't think you've ever seen before. Okay. Yeah, then you are kind of seeing them, not on her, but like, not much use at the moment. No, that's why this is the only time I can wear them. That's why you haven't seen them before. Anyway, well I guess let's go. Sure. Okay. Bring it on. Right, I'm going to go put the first outfit on.  Close your eyes. Okay. Okay. She's ready. She's ready. What do you think, dudes? Have you given this a pre-rating for us? I like this. Like, between when I've had vlogs before, I like it. Okay, yeah. I have heels on, but I've taken them off because I don't think you can see them anyway. Do not judge in the shoes. Right, three, two, one, go. Wow. Stick on the side. The straps are too long as well. I normally pin them up, but... I really like it. And then this is the bottom. I think it's really pretty. I love the little shimmy sides. I think this should be a little bit like that. The only thing is that, yeah, you can see... There should be a bit more fabric on the side.  That's kind of the point of it. It's a little bit revealing on the side. Do you not need to get it... Yeah. It's pretty dress. I think that little bit should be a bit less revealing. It's a bit revealing. It's eight, but the length all round. I actually like this. It's a little bit longer, maybe. Yeah, I think it's okay. A little bit longer, but I think it should, yeah. I like it. Just a little bit more on the side. Genuinely. It looks good. It looks good. I love it. It's got straps. It's got straps. They're just too long. It's a result. I like it. I would do that. I would... Okay. I need out of 10s, guys. Seven. Dad. I'm torn. Because I think as a colour and a style, I'd go eight out of 10. But because I think the sides a bit too short, I would have to knock it down to seven. Well, I did seven anyway, so... So you both said seven. I like that dress. I give it like a nine. Would you wear it, doodle? You'd give it a nine. I think a nine. You'd give it a nine. If you'd make it a nine. Oh, I would have all the Definitely. Sister racing? Yes. Sister racing? Nine. That's going to be like it. Next.  I'm 20 years old. She is 20, we aren't stalker. I was like 15. I know, we love to stalker after time, but in it. Oh. Cheers. No, she's a very sensible person. Okay, eyes are closed. Yeah, eyes are closed. So this one's a little bit more casual. Okay. Okay. Ready? Yeah. Go. Oh, the trousers have got a bit ripped up. I thought you might say that. I have ripped jeans. Turn around. Yeah, give us 12. Ooh. The top's super pretty, but it does look like it's a bit of a bra as opposed to a proper top. It's just gonna say that. You know me, I'm not so keen on tops that look like a bra because I think you feel like you should wear something on top of it. This would be such a waist as a bra. It's so pretty. It's super pretty. It's super pretty. I think the combo at the top and the bottom all complement each other and work really well. I do think there should be more of the top. I agree with that. Perhaps more of the bottom as well. More of the top. And more of the bottom. More of the top. There's too many holes, but there's lots of holes. Yeah, that's just fashion. I just think there should be more of it. Yeah. So I'm gonna have to downgrade it to 6 out of 10 because it should be a little bit more substantive and a bit less see-through. That does help. The capsies help. They make a difference. So 6 out of 10 for the top. 10 out of 10 for the jeans overall. I'm going for 7 or 8 maybe on that basis, but I'd say... Could you wear something else with it? What? The top? On the top? Like a shawl or something? Oh my God, no. Cardigan!  Because it comes warm you up and if it's chilly outside and stuff... I would never wear these jeans without high heels like this on. Why?  Yeah, you're not too short. So we like it very much, but I still have a little problem with things that look like a bra. I know.  I did. Right, okay. Let's go to the next album. Next one coming up. Right, we're ready. This is outfit number 3 coming up. Number 3 coming up. Look, I'm dressed up as well. Hopefully the best one yet. You can comment on my outfit now. Beautiful. 9 out of 10. 10 out of 10. Thank you very much. Yeah, ready? Yeah. Go. You've mean nothing. Twiddle, twiddle, twiddle. That's good. I think it looks... That looks good. It looks really good. The style's good. It just may be a little bit short. A little bit short. And the colour... I'm not 100% on the colour. I like the shimmery look. I'm not sure the colour suits you. Cheers, I spent 90 quid on this dress. Really? Yeah. You better like it. It's really nice. 9 out of 10. Why don't you like the colour? Yeah, I don't know why you don't like that colour. I think it's a more sophisticated colour than the pink. But I just think it's a bit short. That's my problem. That is so long. What? I mean, it does cover your bum, which is good. It's very nicely fitting. I think it's the same as the first one, but... Okay, so 7. So 7. Yeah. I'd say 7. I reckon. I'm going to go 8. Oh! Yeah, suddenly you like it more. 8.5 again. Good job you got a tan, Gem. Good job you've been away and had a tan. You have got a tan. It's fake. Who knew? You did. Yeah, we all did. Alright, come on then. Next one, let's go. Okay, outfit number... 4. 4 coming up. More importantly, now I know she's bought them all. I have to be more careful in terms of what I say as opposed to thinking that they could all just go back in a bag. Do they all? Does she have them all? I think they're nice dresses. I'd actually wear all of those dresses. I think the first one is too... is very young. Yeah. I would. I think you'd pull them off. I think there's a time and a place, isn't there? Okay, next up. Item number 4. Okay, ready? 3, 2, 1, go. I really like the colours. I actually think white looks really good on you. And I also think the top, the colours of the top is really nice. Does it need a strap? The skirt's a bit too see-through. I knew she'd come in on me. I was just going to wear a nude underwear. Could you wear some white shorts? Shorts? Yeah, I think that's a great idea. A little sports shorts. Yeah, I think I just wear nude seamless underwear. Although I think you can see a bit too much skin to kind of... I don't think you could if you couldn't see the... It's because you could only see the outline. But that bird? Top is beautiful. I love the colours. I think the white on you looks really good. I think the top is definitely an 8. The skirt is definitely too see-through. I'm going 10 for the look. I'm going 9 for the top. I'm going 5 for the skirt because it just needs to be more... It needs to be more... Overall is tricky. I think it's an 8. I think it could be a 10 overall, but I'm going to have to downgrade it to 7 because it's too see-through. There we go. It's very close. We like that. Outfit number 4. Number 5 is the last one. Probably the most enthusiastic so far. I don't know. I like them all. Change my top again. I decided to... This one's even more... What? I don't know.  Here we go. Outfit number 5. Here it comes. Really? This is the outfit. Are we going to love it? I really like it, but it might be a bit see-through on my bum. I've never worn this out before. Ready? 3, 2, 1, go. Wow. You look like Princess Leia from Star Wars. Thanks. It's definitely very different to what I was expecting with my eyes shut. I thought this was going to be a really skimpy shopping one because we were going to score like 3 out of 10. No, I'm turning now. I don't do that. Oh, in fact, I got that.  We like that. Yeah. It's short. I think you'd have to wear tights. Also, because it's so loose, it needs to be longer. It looks a bit like a long shirt. That's exactly what it is. It's a long shirt with a corset thing over. Oh, I see. That's separate. Yes. That's so clever. I'm just an artist. I made the outfit. It's clever. I think the shirt needs to be longer. Or you need to wear something under the shirt. Did you wear a pair of shorts?  White shorts would be good. You always look good in everything, so that's kind of a given. It's just a bit short for me without tights or something under there. I agree. That's practically... Also, because it's so loose, if it was tight fitting and came down to here, and then as you walked, and it all stayed on your hemline, then I think that would be okay. But the thing is, because it's very loose, it's going to be loose and bouncing around. I'd go with a pair of shorts, nine without the shorts, five. I said four. I said you'd wear it at four. I think it's my least favourite without the shorts underneath. Probably... I give mostly the ones like seven. So do you prefer this? Well, I prefer the top half. Give me a number, Bob. I said it would be a... Okay, six and a half. Francesca? What do you give me? It's her least favourite, right? Don't leave me hanging, bro. Go quick, pump it. This is perfect because I'm eating the top half. Shuffling a little bit. That's the end of the video. So your favourite was... The white top with the pretty flowers, but it was too see-through the skirt. Yeah, my favourite was the... The white top with the flowers, with the spanks on. That was a 10 out of 10, without the spanks on. Take a drink, take a shot every time I go out to the spanks. He doesn't even know what it is. I think I've got an idea what they are. They're little white elastic shorts. I really like the black jeans with the top combo, but they need a bit more top. The bra line. The look and the way it all came together I thought was fantastic, but I do think the top needs to be a little bit less see-through. You've changed again. Oh my gosh. My favourite was the pink one.

Let's talk some more about Dr. Brown's five volumes answering Jewish objections to Jesus. But why should we talk about it? Why am I drawing attention to these books? Why focus on them? And I will give you three reasons why I focus on them. There are many people who read Dr. Brown's books. And the way it would seem when you're reading his books at first glance is that he's presenting a balanced picture. He spends a lot of time presenting the Jewish position. Sometimes in relatively favorable light. People who read his five volumes may think that they understand the Jewish position, they understand the Christian position, and they come to a decision. But Dr. Brown seriously misrepresents the Jewish position and therefore it is my responsibility to bring the true Jewish position, the true Jewish arguments to light. That's reason number one. Reason number two, many people have not read Dr. Brown's five volumes. But they look at them and they assume such a sophisticated work, 1,500 pages with scholarly footnotes. How could something so sophisticated be wrong? How could it be dead wrong? How could it be so incredibly empty? And that's another reason why I'm drawing attention to these books. I lay out my arguments in writing and I ask of you please read what I wrote. Please read the arguments that I bring up against his book. But there's a third reason why I'm drawing attention to Dr. Brown's books. Dr. Brown is a scholar. He studied.  Now do you realize what happened? Someone came over to Dr. Brown, I'm talking figuratively, and he gave him 1,500 blank pieces of paper. He gave him 10 years of time and he told him, here try your best, make a case for Jesus on the basis of the Jewish Bible. And Dr. Brown filled those 1,500 pages with his arguments, with his writings. And this is what he had to do. He had to omit some of the foundational Jewish objections. He had to contradict himself on some of his central arguments and he had to misrepresent the Jewish position on some of the foundational issues. So if you realize that and you realize what an opportunity he had and what this is the best case he was able to make, I believe that Dr. Brown's five volumes scream loudly. Jesus is not the Messiah. The title of Dr. Brown's work, Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus, would give us to understand that this is a defense of Christianity. And indeed it is. It is a defense of Christianity. But it is also an attack on Judaism. Dr. Brown says things like, he suggests that the Jewish rejection of the Trinity is a gut level negative reaction to anything Christian. That's a very serious charge against Judaism. In other words, it's saying that the central core of Judaism, the love for God is just a reaction to something else. It would be like telling a Christian, the reason you love Jesus is because you hate Muhammad. Dr. Brown misrepresents the Talmud when it comes to the issue of sacrifice as atonement. And his whole fifth volume, his entire fifth volume is an attack on the traditions of Judaism. So if you're going to attack something, it would be good if you would understand what you're attacking. Now many Christians are not aware. Many Christians are not aware how deeply the Jewish position is rooted in the Bible. I had a conversation with a very sincere Christian. This fellow told me that he was very well read on the Jewish-Christian polemic, the argument to debate between Judaism and Christianity. And I said, fine, well, let's have a conversation. But before we have that conversation, let me tell you something. I also read quite a bit on the subject of Jewish-Christian polemics. I'm going to tell you now which passages in the Jewish scriptures you're going to be quoting to me. You're going to be quoting Isaiah 53, Psalm 22, Daniel 9, et cetera, et cetera. I want you to tell me, my friend, what verses, what passages will I quote to support my position? And he looked at me and he said, what do you mean? You're going to tell me that Isaiah 53 is not talking about the Messiah. It's talking about the righteous of Israel. You're going to tell me Psalm 22 is talking about King David. Now I said, no, those are the texts that the Christians look to as supportive of their position. What are the texts that the Jewish people look to as supportive of the Jewish position? The first article on my blog is called 1,000 verses. In that article, I give you a list of verses according to various categories, which the Jews see as supportive of their position. Please read that article, study those verses. Again, it's not about me. It's not about Dr. Brown. It's between you and God. And ask yourselves what the author of the book was trying to tell you with those passages. Now Dr. Brown actually goes further than most missionaries in telling you how the Jewish position is rooted in the Bible. Throughout his five volumes, he quotes many of the passages that the Jewish people see as supportive of their position. But consistently, he skips out, in each discussion, he skips out the central passages. In his discussion on repentance, Deuteronomy 30 is not there. In his discussion on messianic prophecies, Deuteronomy 30 is not there. In his discussion on idolatry, Deuteronomy 435 is not there. In his discussion on the oral law, on the traditions of the Jewish people, the Sinai Revelation is not there. The Sinai Revelation is also not there in his discussion on the subject of idolatry. Some of these don't make it into his book altogether. Some of them make it into his book in different places, not in the center of the discussion about, for example, when he's discussing messianic prophecies, volume 3, Deuteronomy 30 is not there. When he's discussing repentance, volume 2, Deuteronomy 30 is not there. When he's discussing idolatry, also volume 2, Deuteronomy 435, the Sinai Revelation are not mentioned. You know what this is like? This is like a book about American history, and when you're reading a five-volume book, 1,500 pages, and when you're coming to the 1800s, no mention is made of the Civil War, nothing, zero. It's when you come to the last volume and it's discussing World War II, so you have a half a page about the Civil War. That is how warped Dr. Brown's presentation is of the Jewish position. Why is that Deuteronomy 30 so important? What's so significant about Deuteronomy 30? In the end of volume 3, Dr. Brown tells us, messianic prophecies are not readily identified as such. Now, I find this statement astounding. Dr. Brown believes that the main purpose of the Jewish Bible is to point you to the Messiah, and he is telling you that the messianic prophecies are not readily identified as such. Students of the Bible from the beginning of time have read the Jewish Bible and have come to the realization that the author of this Bible has a beautiful hope for the future of Israel, has a beautiful hope for the future of mankind. And that hope came to be known as the messianic age, the author of the Bible associates a person, a king with that hope, and that person came to be known as the Messiah. But the passages that speak of this beautiful hope for the future are very clear in the Bible. There's no question that certain passages are talking about that beautiful hope for the future. Yes, certain passages may be ambiguous and certain details may not be clear, but the general thrust of that hope was always clear. Let's just look at the disciples of Jesus. The Jewish disciples of Jesus, they had an idea of the Messiah before Jesus died, before he was allegedly resurrected. In fact, their concept of the Messiah did not include a death and resurrection because when Jesus died, they reacted with shock and it was something they didn't expect. This was after they read Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22, but they had an idea of what the Messiah was supposed to do and it wasn't dying. But in any case, when you're looking at the Bible and you're looking and asking yourself, is the author telling us anything about a hope for the future? Deuteronomy 30 will jump at you. Moses, the trustworthy one of God's household, the greatest prophet that the Jewish people ever had, speaks most clearly about this hope for the future in Deuteronomy 30 verses 1 through 10. And we have to realize that Moses came before most of the other prophets, of course, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob came before Moses, but all the books of Scripture come after Moses. So when the other prophets are speaking about the messianic age, they are speaking in the context of Deuteronomy 30 verses 1 through 10. When it comes to the issue of repentance, when it comes to the issue of repairing your relationship with God, and I'm speaking about the national relationship with God, which by the way is the main focus of the Jewish Scriptures. The Jewish Scriptures are primarily focused on the national relationship with God. The Jewish Scriptures are not so much focused on your individual relationship with God. So when it's speaking about that national relationship with God and repairing it, Deuteronomy 30 is foundational. Open a Jewish prayer book. You'll have, after the morning prayers, the passage of repentance. And it's Deuteronomy 30 verses 1 through 10. So when Dr. Brown omits Deuteronomy 30 from the discussion of messianic prophecies or from the discussion of repairing our relationship with God, he is taking that discussion out of its biblical context. What does Deuteronomy 30 tell us? Deuteronomy 30 tells us, and again, I encourage you to read it on your own. Again, it's Deuteronomy 30 verses 1 through 10. But it tells us when the Jewish people experience the blessing and the curse, they'll be dispersed into many lands that God scattered them, and they'll turn their hearts back to listen to the voice of the Lord, their God. According to all that I, Moses, in other words, commanded you, the eternal nation of Israel, today.  So this tells us that the way the Jewish people repair their relationship with God is with repentance. No blood sacrifice. There's no temple. And it says clearly you're going to do this repentance according to the commandments of Moses. Moses never commanded us about any other blood sacrifices besides the ones that are offered in the temple. So we don't have that, and according to Moses' commandment, we are not allowed to bring blood sacrifices outside the temple, outside the land of Israel. So we're dealing with a repentance without blood sacrifices. And on the basis of this repentance, the passage teaches us that God will restore the Jewish people back to the land of Israel. The prophet goes on, Moses goes on to tell us that God will circumcise our hearts. You know what this tells us? That that repentance that took place before the circumcision of the heart was not a perfect repentance, because it's only after the circumcision of the heart that we are able to love the Lord our God with all our hearts and all our might. So in other words, the repentance was a human repentance. It was a repentance marked with humanity, with human frailty and human inability to be perfect. It was before the circumcision of the heart. Christians argue, yes, if you would repent perfectly, if you would observe the law of Moses exactly according to every slightest letter of the law, then of course God will restore you, but that's impossible. They're making a joke, a mockery out of God's word. When God commands, he doesn't expect you to be an angel. He doesn't expect you to be perfect. He doesn't expect you to be God. He knows we are human. And here the passage clearly tells us that the repentance which precedes, which comes before the circumcision of the heart is accepted by God. Furthermore, the passage tells us that after the circumcision of the heart, we will look back to Moses as our ultimate teacher. We will follow the teachings of Moses. Nothing about a better way, nothing about a greater teacher, a greater prophet. It's even after, in the messianic age, after the circumcision of the heart, we will still be looking back to Moses as our ultimate teacher. No Jesus, no greater than Moses. So on all these levels, the passage in Deuteronomy contradicts Christian theology. Now Dr. Brown devotes less than one page, a few paragraphs to Deuteronomy 30 in Volume 5. And this is not the volume that's speaking about repentance, repairing your relationship with God. This is not the volume that's speaking about the messianic prophecies. In those two volumes, Deuteronomy 30 was not invited, noticeably absent. Let me just read what Dr. Brown says about Deuteronomy 30. He's only addressing one detail of Deuteronomy 30, and this is what he says. But I'm reading Dr. Brown's words. But what about Deuteronomy 30, which states emphatically that after we have experienced judgment and dispersion, when we repent and return to the observance of the Torah, the Torah will be brought back to the land. That means that the central issue is Torah observance right until the last moment before the messianic age. That statement is highly misleading because it clearly says that Torah observance is central during the messianic age, not only until the last minute before the messianic age. Okay, but what does Dr. Brown's response to this challenge to his position? He gives us a two-fold response. Either he tells us that Deuteronomy 30 is talking, the repentance that it's talking about is talking about an acceptance of Jesus. Yes? Following the law according to all that Moses commanded today, meaning to say as the Jewish people understood it, on the day that Moses commanded means following Jesus, couldn't Moses have used better words to express that idea of devoting yourself to Jesus, accepting Jesus? The second answer he gives is that perhaps this prophecy was conditional because the Jewish people sinned so terribly, so this prophecy sort of is canceled. It's only useful if you didn't sin. You know what that's like?  That's what the fire extinguisher is for. This prophecy is here for the specific purpose when we do not obey, when we experience the blessing and the curse. The curse comes upon us when we don't obey the law. How could you tell me that this prophecy is no longer relevant because we didn't obey the law? The whole point of the prophecy is when we don't obey the law, this is how we are supposed to repair our relationship with God. So these are Dr. Brown's responses quote unquote to Deuteronomy 30. Do you understand now why I say that Dr. Brown's five volumes is incredibly empty?
