Make sure we're coming in live and there we are. Awesome. Awesome. Nice. Hi everyone, this is Chichu. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another live stream. Today, today is May 20th 2021 and we got a comic book haul. I picked it up yesterday. I announced this live stream last night and it's a calm... It's a buy from the... it's two comic books, CTC graded, Modern Age, and coming from the same seller. So I wasn't sure when it was going to arrive. It was coming from the United States. That's why I didn't schedule it in sort of the one day announcement. And it's a comic book... comic books, I guess? We've been chasing. So I've been keeping a track on this, on my watch list, on eBay. And eBay is becoming problematic. So we'll see what happens with all the changes there. Initiating regarding PayPal, initiating regarding how comic books are listed, searched. It's a serious problem. It's crazy what the technocrats are doing. But we'll see how it plays out. So I was happy to get these coming my way before all those changes kicked in. And I was glad to list some comic books and sell some comic books before the changes kicked in. I just got a notice from eBay saying I haven't updated my account information so I can't sell any more comics on eBay. So I'm assuming a lot of people sellers, a lot of people that wanted to sell on eBay, are getting the same type of email saying oh they haven't because they're eBay's disconnecting from PayPal. So they're not they're not going to deposit your money into PayPal account. They want your bank account information. So that's a little problematic as far as I'm concerned. I might have to create a new bank account just for eBay transactions. Because I rather not have all that information on all multiple platforms. Which is crazy. Crack sniff sniff. I smell some pulpy goodness morning all. Crack you're gonna love these. You're gonna love these. Lord of Iron, how are you doing? Hey, good morning Chico. Digging the shirt. Thank you. I like this shirt. It's very nice. It's a happy shirt. That's a summer it's a spring summer shirt. So happy to be wearing it this morning too. Crack open some comics. Bob how are you doing? Hope you're doing well hey Chico. Can't stay for long as I start my third shift at my new job in a little bit. Oh wow. But I hope you you all have a great day. I hope you have a good uh good day at work. Third uh third day at a new job. I hope you like in the job man. And congrats on the new job. Congrats on the new job. Allergod basic account I use for online purchases. Yeah I think I have to create one of those things which is crazy. PayPal was my thing my basic thing that I used right so we'll see and hello Allergod how are you doing? Uh esoteric how are you doing? Yeah not found a fund of eBay banking info mandatory for sales less control. Yeah it's crazy. I think what they're trying to do likes a little comic. How are you doing? Uh morning Chico Allergod says late afternoon here late afternoon early morning for me and regarding eBay requiring because for those that don't know eBay sent out a notice a month and a half ago or something like this saying that they now require sellers to provide their banking information because they are no longer going to transfer uh sales funds from sales to PayPal anymore. They need to transfer to your bank account which to me is insane because it should be up to the seller to decide where they want the info they want the money to go to right. Why don't they have an option to say oh you want to transfer to uh BitPay PayPal bank account wherever else you wanted to transfer it to why is it necessarily bank account? My take on this is because eBay is trying to generate decentralize themselves from just making money off sales. They're trying to generate create a new stream of revenue which is data mining people right regarding bank account information and that goes hand in hand with what they're requiring new listings to be because at the same time they're changing their way that people have to list information. So when you go to list the comic book I want to list some more comic books I said hell no I'm not going to go through all this right now. They want you know they have different fields saying uh who did the cover art who are the artists when was it published where was it published all this information right and if you don't fill that stuff in then in the searches the odds are your listing will not be one of the top ones because it's missing some of the fields right. So they're trying to become a data mining company. Is it gonna work? I don't know I think they're gonna take a hit or two in their next few earnings report because people like me and independent sellers which I don't know what percent of sales on ebay are independent sellers but they may not list comic books because it's a huge hassle to to list comic books now right and what's that gonna do is most likely maybe if there's less sellers on ebay kick up the price of products so they might make more money off that but as a buyer I might say you know what this is too expensive now I'm going to go somewhere else to get my purchase okay so we'll see how this plays out that's my take on why ebay is doing what it's doing and how to technocrats are maneuvering to prevent disruptive innovation and there are challenges coming on to legacy tech companies that have been around for the last 20 years right last 15 to 20 years they're seeing major pressure on them from alternative disruptive innovation new tech coming in to take a piece of the pie which is a fantastic thing if you believe in decentralization which is basically giving allowing markets to dictate what we can consume where we can go what information we can read who we can do business with which is really on the same level as why cryptocurrencies have come into play why all day's new tech is coming to play why you're seeing pressure on stocks on certain tech legacy tech companies okay that's my take we'll see how it plays out aside from that welcome to another comic book stream comic book haul good morning from san diego good morning zander how are you doing esoteric speaking of comics a massive rest yeah a massive rest in peace for kentaro muria the berserker author of berserk yeah berserk not berserker berserk who was revealed to have died earlier this month yeah it's weird that they didn't really announce the death right away we're seeing this happen with some certain creators i guess crack they're also going to take their cut off the top before they send the money to your account ebay right and just imagine all these people selling on ebay and ebay is going to have all this money sitting in their bank account for two three days before they transfer money right so they're collecting interest on that too right so that's another revenue stream that they're trying to generate collecting interest off people's sales right sleepy waves what's up jicho is this a last ministry this is the last ministry my announced it last night i just got the comic book haul and for sure rest in peace kentaro muria muria the author the creator of berserk and the animated series anime i've seen a few episodes i'm pretty sure i've seen it which were fantastic their stock will take ahead maybe lord of finn i'm assuming it will i saw action comic superman one listed on ebay for 3.5 million yeah last one sold for 3.2 i believe online treachery is running rampant let the little dogs grow exactly a crack i don't think it will have any long-term effect on them they have become too big and established possibly crack possibly possibly we'll see like for example my comic shop lists their comic books on ebay to sell but if i was buying from my comic shop i would go to the my comic shop website and buy directly from them because they sell it for less on their website than they do on ebay right so we'll see hey guys how are you doing hey chicho scott scott menton one good afternoon from southampton england good afternoon good afternoon esoteric i think the japanese like their like their privacy so they get the funeral over and done with oh that's what he was a very private person most of his life i think oh wow okay that would explain for sure for sure that happened with someone else uh with um mf doom that happened earlier this year he had died a few weeks before and then they announced it so that would make sense that would make sense and i would do the same i think void how are you doing curfew removed in a week and go back here it's gonna go back to red we'll see we'll see how they got chicho what's in the box let's do the box gang comic visions was his name comic visions was his name comic visions how are you doing i'm like wait a second i didn't read your name how are you doing welcome to another ice stream think drink bones good day chicho hope you're having a good day brother indeed when we got a comic book all it's always a good day always a good day comic vision hi chicho very glad to see you how you've been doing fantastic been very busy that's why the streams of the frequency of the streams have died down a little bit just um you know doing some stuff in the background and dealing with bs coming from the technocrats technocrats right macro macrobian how are you doing hey chicho glad i can make it enjoying the sun nowadays in Canada indeed it's going to be sunny here today as well the plants are loving it we're going to pick up some pick up some cuttings seedlings Friday tomorrow and most likely do sort of a patio planting stuff over the weekend which by the way for those of you that might be wondering over the streams most likely we're going to do a stream saturday day sunday day uh monday most likely day mathematics tuesday evening most likely and when maybe wednesday morning i'm going to sort it all out today and announce the schedule later on today okay gang i thought red lobster was good red lobster sucks greetings from Germany greetings Germany how are you doing chain seafood is something i would usually steer clear of indeed indeed the pictures look great on on their advertisements mick morning chicho i went to visit my mother a few days ago and she was doing a clean out came across some old stuff i had as a kid picked up my uh 0708 match attack match uh attacks football card binder where i'd collected them all turns out the limited edition uh cristiano ronaldo ronaldo nice card uh that was in their cells were around 100 awesome awesome treasure find renda thaur hey chicho just got back from running a few errands got your stream notification perfect timing hope from once well awesome awesome the weather is superb nice gang let me tell you what we got in this box is or are two comic books okay they're cgc graded one of them we bought for 30 us which comes out to around 36 canadian and the other one we bought for 76 us which comes out to 92 canadian total uh cost for this buy was around 120 including shipping which is around 150 canadian including shipping and compared to a year ago this is basically at a 20 discount if you're buying it from canada because the us dollar has collapsed 20 in the last year relative to the canadian dollar so canadian dollar value has gone up 20 relative to us dollars which is one of the reasons i ended up doing this purchase because it was a better deal than what i got it for and they're already a great deal okay so let's crack this open and they're modern age comics and we're going to crack it open and before we take a look at this i'm going to show you something else that came from a previous comic book haul because it's related to the previous comic book haul and if you guys saw i think it was two comic book hauls ago or something you're going to get a kick out of this okay so it's nicely box packaged and the beauty of this was the person that was selling it he was from new york and he mentioned for canadian buyers and he stated that uh you know especially for canadian buyers uh that he drives them over the border and sends them from canada so there's no issues at the border getting you know delayed and stuff like this so that was another incentive to buy this from this guy there was actually there was actually three comic books i wanted from this guy but i got overbid on the third one outbid on the third one this packaging nice packaging nice packaging nice packaging here's nice that's just a total more bubble wrap okay these are the comic books let me take them out of the wrap okay and before i show you this i'm going to show you something else first chicho wow i didn't realize that the canadian currency went up by 20 do you think it's cus canada didn't print as much money no it's because canada printed a ton of money okay it's because of commodities oil prices mining oil food canada has a lot of resources so as soon as oil prices starts going up and commodity prices especially precious metals and stuff like that go up canadian dollar gets stronger right so it has a lot to do with that so that's one way you can play uh rise and changes and commodities and uh and whatnot by playing currencies seller knows how to do business seller knows how to do business nights of old fun fantastic let's put the bubble there so here then i'm not going to show you these yet here are the two cgcs right now yeah baby i've been chasing this i've been chasing this the this for a while trying to get a really good deal on it right now what are these comic books here right what are these comic books here let me show you if you recall if you recall i think two comic book halls ago i'm calling strangers in paradise it it could be paradise related it it looks like paradise to me this this is this is heaven for me like as someone who loves sci-fi i've been a sci-fi lover since i could i could i could i could look at things without parental guidance right as a sci-fi lover this is paradise to me but it's not strangers in paradise we already got the strangers in paradise screenshot moment the elder god you're gonna want a screenshot moment now couple of comic book halls ago we picked up three comic books from the same artist right do you remember who that was do you remember who that was that was this comic book right chivalre noir i don't approve chivalre noir number one

this full series chivalre noir and it's it came out in 1980s went all the way to the 1990s and independent comic artist i don't want to say peak but perfection right perfection right so this was from two comic book hauls ago here is good pronunciation from a french canadian means black horse is that what it means chivalre noir is that what it means black horse noir is black chivalre is horse yeah

god go to our discord page in the comics folder there's someone in the uk selling this comic for five pounds okay and it's in fine condition it's not an 8.5 he says fine it looks better than fine to me to me it looks like i saw it if the shipping wasn't insane to canada i would have already bought that thing i'm just letting you know so good he was incredible think there is a documentary on him near incomplete oh really i didn't know about the documentary 30 years old it's practically cgc fee that is cgc fee like basically i got we got this comic book for free because as you know like in terms of economics and stuff like there's there's or business there's two things main two things you can do you can introduce something new to the market right to a certain degree and you can copy people as well and at a reduced price so you can you can three things i guess you could introduce something new to the market you can create something cheap relative to a name brand or you can do value at it cgc does value at it takes comic books grades them slaps them so as soon as you get it graded there's value at it right because it costs money to get this done and for me i've checked into it in bc vancouver victoria west coast it would cost me at least basically 30 us to get a book cgc graded right nice is cgc like p psa for cards psa psa i what's psa i don't know what psa is but cgc does cards as well okay does cards as well antisocialist behavior chaval is where we get the term chivalry chivalry from ah chivalry originally was the code of the ethics for knights who were the only people rich enough to own horses to ride around on chivalry is old in old english for horseback rider oh i had no idea very cool so fantastic 30 us man amazing buy amazing buy right now this guy had a lot of the seller had a lot of books that he was selling you know i'd buy it now that's what a lot of sellers are doing they're they're listing a lot of books that buy it now and then they have a

list all of dave stevens covers for gazillion dollars on ebay because by that time fiat currencies around the world would have already collapsed to zimbabwe level right so very happy to have this game nice nice book books to add to the collection street name lemon that were you doing limon hello i've never seen the whole comic book collecting thing before so this is neat are you a fellow west coaster indeed indeed salutations to west coasters in canada and the united states we're very much the same mentality mick me and a friend are starting a little project soon little antiques for ourselves one of the ideas we had was getting a hold of a one dollar note um putting blood oil and gold and religious symbols on sections of it then sealing it in a heart plastic see-through casing why not why not cosmic mission you got to do up time up time we've only been live for about half an hour yeah why not and what that means is you're taking something that is a possible collectible right and doing something to it and adding value to it and selling it as a collectible right so what you're doing is lots of love right back brother uh what you're doing is you're doing value added right which is a legitimate thing to do so for example for comic book collecting one of the value added things you can do in comic book collecting okay you can buy large lots right and take them apart and sell them individually that's what auto records do they buy used cars or cars that have been crashed written off and they sell parts they make money another thing you can do is slowly accumulate a certain uh collection so for example Dave Stevens collection right slowly start accumulating Dave Stevens covers and sell 20 of them in one shot at an inflated price relative to what you bought them for because you put in the time to collect them put the listing together and sell them so you've done the legwork for someone that wants to collect Dave Stevens covers right and Star Wars covers or Star Wars stories or whatever it might be right so you can put collections together you're doing value added this kicks into our personal finance um discussions that we've been having right is it only equal to deface currency it is I think believe it or not crazy uh make none the UK we already checked that ah really cool cool cool sleepways uh chicho any advice for doing less of everything and focusing on what you truly love I feel I've become a yes man out of fear of scarcity but in doing so um much uh I also feel I'm not working towards what I want which is music sorry if this is random that's not random sort of related to this uh number one number one rule if you want to obtain more freedom or obtain your freedom start a savings account I'm not saying savings in a bank account or some something like this I'm saying have some type of savings or investments right the other one is reduce your expenses reducing expenses and creating sort of a saving sort of a nest egg will get will buy you freedom really get your freedom by reducing your expenses and increasing your nest egg and that gets you freedom and by the way gang if you haven't figured it out by now you will never become unless you're one in a million shot you will never become financially independent okay if you're only relying on a paycheck for you uh to prepare yourself for retirement and to be able to afford you know some of the essentials in life such as such as housing transportation uh healthcare safety and all this jazz you need to actively be investing in something and that means you have to be actively aware of whatever market you're interested in investing your time and resources in for me it's comic books okay and other things of course right see what you show that's the kicker I've just reached that level where I've increased my savings and I have a little cushion but I feel like I am still operating in my old ways where I still feel like I have to be doing doing the most and it's sleepy waves and that takes mental power right a lot of people have a hard time letting go of routine right that's why I tell people the the the one thing uh I'm told friends does and take this with a grain of salt as far as I'm concerned we need to have three months of three months off a year to be able to ground and reanalyze our lives and make the right decisions so take extended time off from work if you have a nest egg if you can afford that right if not build up your nest egg don't eat into your nest egg by just not doing anything right but it's okay to take a leave of absence and make sure you're reducing your expenses to read books to create content and kick it in slowly in that way right it's a juggling game it really is a juggling game I've had friends where they've been laid off where they've taken some time off and they get fidgety they don't know what to do with their time right Ronnie another haul chicho is making all that crypto game no no I don't invest in crypto okay street name liman I collect all stuff I have a collection of books over 100 years old and glow from the 20s nice a bunch of coins but no comic books even though um they would fit in that same category yeah and you don't have to collect everything you can collect what you know and what you love right and by the way you should actively if you're getting a collection if there are certain gains to be made if you want to buy something you can't afford it for your collection it's okay to let go of some of your collection to generate money if you're letting them go at a profit sometimes you let them go anyway right to generate more money to make more investments it's okay to do that okay birdie here take control of your own life if you want to do something go do it give yourself permission no one else will it birdie here 100% I agree with birdie here right just do don't write off everything else don't burn your bridges right we all have to we all have expenses we all have to live we all have to we all have to take care of business right but it's okay just to do and fail have losses it's okay to do that really don't worry about taking a hit taking a loss considered education right like look again one of the first things that you learn when it comes to gambling is if there's nothing on the line for you to lose you're not gambling you don't know what gambling is that really applies to poker right there are a lot of people that like playing poker but there's no money on the line it doesn't have to be a ton of money it could be pennies right there's nothing on the line well if there's nothing on the line and you're playing poker for fun you're not really playing poker you're passing time poker really kicks up in intensity when there's something on the line to lose life is the same way investments are the same way crypto actually went down 30% today actually crypto did a nice bounce or bitcoin did a nice bounce from 30 000 which was a good support level and it did a nice bounce to around 41 000 right now right my opinion is that was the bounce that you should have been if you bought it at 30 you should be cashing out possibly um does it take it with a grain of salt this is not financial advice my guess is is going to continue to do hit the next support level on the way down okay I don't want I I want crypto to be currency I if you're investing in crypto then it's an asset class right I already have an asset class that I invest in which is comic books I'm not interested in investing in another asset class right it's a digital collectible bitcoin is a digital collectible there are other cryptos out there which aren't digital collectibles like for example I acquire cryptos off mines off library when I'm loading stuff on right that's one way I'm acquiring crypto as well but I'm not actively buying and selling crypto I'm not into that game I don't want crypto to become a collectible a commodity I want crypto to become a currency okay the libraries are open here now nice I'm reading like a mad man awesome all the god I agree but I'm afraid leaving my job burning bridges was a mistake I've made yeah don't burn your bridges gang leave if you're going to leave a job make sure you leave on good terms that goes with relationships as well that goes with friends as well that goes with everything be kind and others will be kind in return you got to lose to win you got to lose to learn right you got to lose to learn you learn the most from your mistakes street name Lehman the first thing I learned about gambling is you don't have a gambling problem until you start losing sleepy ways chicho I love the gambling metaphor reminds me of Nicholas Taliff stuff when he talks about risks and challenges yeah you have to have skin in the game Ronnie you're right chicho sleepy way chicho do you think ethereum will also crash ethereum has already gone down ethereum is under attack from the securities exchange commission from centralized power we'll see how that plays out but I like the concept of smart contracts and stuff like this I think that's huge huge huge okay game changer game changer on the same level as blockchain was a game changer blockchain was the technology that is built on smart contracts are the application the game-changing application that is built on blockchain okay the drop was so nasty I think 20 000 uh or below is coming in my opinion possibly kebab landa 23 chicho hey brother how are you doing doing good brother thank you so good to see you are you staying healthy the shirt sure he gets that gets some ladies good to see you good to see you as well I was especially in the springtime baby and in the summer you're on button right Ronnie this is a small bounce from short short closing their positions and long-term investors buying lower possibly day trading crypto like two months and was doing me a favor yeah I'm back rxt r67 until you have oops blood 23 I learned the hard way about being kind I was frustrated tired of being lied and manipulated as days went by I ended up uh uh bringing the exact bring the exact person I hated to the most power hungry wow disregard that was that wrong yeah I know I couldn't figure out what you're saying we were running on on a everything goes stream everything goes stream cosmic visions what is that how it brings the booties ah press thick what comics we got today we got these two comics check this out check this out good girl good girl comics nice Dave Stevens covers chaval noir number seven from 1990 should be 1990 1990 okay very good we bought this one for 30 dollars us and this one for 76 dollars us total came out to 120 dollars us including shipping which is brown 150 dollars Canadian and I'm I live in Canada and I did the buy one of the reasons it sent us for me to do the buy is because the US dollar had collapsed 20% in the last year relative to Canadian dollars so I was getting basically a 20% discount on the buy right Lehman says I'm I'm new here may I ask what is your personal favorite comic you own oh my personal favorite comic I own I don't know I have a lot of comic books and I love many many many of them indeed these are in the category of some of the favorite comics I own there's no doubt right there's no doubt I did I did a reading of one of my most favorite comics I own okay which is the eye of doom from mystic number five more a wolf man oh man I'm bad with names if you go to chichou reading I gotta find this for you now I gotta find it for you eye of doom I'm gonna find this chichou eye of

insanely cheap okay that's the one of my favorite comic books and I have a cgc grade of that which is graded I think at 5.5 or something and we bought it for less than a hundred dollars us I wouldn't sell it for a thousand dollars right now okay yeah that's the condition rating up top Ronnie does PCA rate comics too uh I don't know if PCA rates comics I know cgc these guys do uh do rate cards okay blood I meant being my bad your face lit up I have a crush on Red Sonia nice but in the comics you bought worth it and no propaganda stuff excuse the spelling do not want to cause anything no no but I still don't understand your questions pro propaganda stuff it's like Red Sonia and I like Red Sonia a lot suggestions for comics for an eight-year-old girl for an eight-year-old girl um bone by Jeff Smith bone by Jeff Smith bone by Jeff Smith oops Smith okay it's it's fantasy it's amazing it has a couple of scary parts but no no gore uh nothing like that okay for a teenage boy I would say uh Barry win it I've given it to students before and they loved it okay let's find out how are you doing chichou since you hold these as as stores of value you try to keep track of older uh is that an um on being licensed for movies uh for sure for sure brother uh let's find out I I I do keep track of what the buzz is regarding the tv movie industry and stuff like this to see what books um I need to get before the other ones right so for example I bought and we did a comic book haul on this right I bought a collection a set of uh Jupiter's uh legacy uh from a previous comic book haul uh Jupiter's legacy uh we bought a dirt cheap right and I got a cgc signed graded 9.8 of Jupiter's legacy number one for like $25 us those books now are selling for a lot more I'm not going to sell by the ones I got because they're the only copies I have but I got them because I got them before the market kicked up right so for sure I try to keep track of what the buzz is so I can get whatever books I need to get before the values go up right blood 23 they spoiled x-men as a child I thought Wolverine is badass but as I grew up I started to admire Cyclops a lot and is a badass all the responsibly of mutants on his shoulders and the person in between Magneto and Xavier yeah Cyclops deserves a huge amount of respect that indeed indeed and Wolverine they toned down we're Wolverine is way more ruthless than than he's been portrayed to a certain degree right now right Lehman wow cool so so these new ones you got are some big guys in your collection he's for comic book collectors Dave Stevens is considered to be one of the master cover artists it's like same level as Alex Roth or whatever his name is right I'd like Dave Stevens way better right Wally Wood is another one Frank Frazetta is another one there are certain and Matt Baker from the Golden Age of comics is another one if you can get your hands on some of the most sought after by the way as far as I see it there's a lot of people going into the comic book industry doing collecting some people are not going to stick around they're going to get burned or whatever it is but they're going to be a fair bit that are going to stick around and as people get into the industry and learn about comic books and whatnot they're going to discover Dave Stevens Basil Wolverton Wally Wood they're going to discover some of these amazing artists and writers that only really comic book aficionados know about right and then they're going to start chasing some of these things and the values of these things are going to go up like Matt Baker covers 10 years ago you could have bought them for 10% of what they're selling now but maybe 5% of what they're selling now oh I mean like no woke stuff in the comic you bought right no woke stuff uh yeah I don't really chase after woke stuff uh you know it's it's not my thing I'm not I don't understand the woke stuff I'm a huge grand grand admiral Thrawn fan yeah like like Thrawn comic book number one that came out like just a few years ago like within the last five years or so you could have bought a cover price until like a year ago a year and a half ago right now it's selling for 30 40 dollars right Marvel film my favorite Marvel film my favorite Marvel manga is god here my favorite Marvel film my favorite Marvel movie the first X-Men the movie they put out in 2000 was pretty good I can tell you some of my favorite comic book movies but I can't tell you my favorite Marvel movie my favorite Marvel movie my favorite Marvel TV series uh Legion Legion is absolutely phenomenal uh one of my favorites anyway if you haven't checked out the Legion TV series check out the Legion TV series and Legion is an X-Men character is Xavier's was really good was really good is Xavier's son right and Legion didn't get a huge amount of hype so check out Legion TV series phenomenal phenomenal lord of iron chicho uh is super walk beyond the mainstream that was similar to an old age on the mountaintop interesting round he says Legion was really good yeah uh chicho you always give me an expected answer man love it and do I expect an answer but hopefully sometimes I'll give you an unexpected answer great question did you what was the question cosmic cosmic uh silly question but have you ever had a comic book that you thought wasn't ever gonna get popular but later later on that indeed indeed like for example um comic books that I never thought were gonna get popular that they did are we talking in terms of value wise or in terms of character in terms of character let me think I gotta I gotta really dig in he's omega level yeah Legion is omega level mutant super crazy powerful can destroy the cosmos right I stopped watching when season one ended but that season was oh it gets really good Lehman continued Legion it gets amazing that's for comic books that I never thought would um value wise for example X-man number four which is the first appearance of omega red right that thing was cover price until like three years ago now it's selling for 50 60 70 dollars right uh Marvel Comics presents 72 the uh first story with Barry Windsor-Smith of um Wolverine Weapon X Weapon X story arc right and as soon as they announced the Wolverine TV series that comic book is selling now for 60 70 dollars you could have bought it for cover price until like a year ago two years ago right lark bark how are you doing hope you're doing well I like a chicho you're very bubbly this morning what the story I don't know I did the comic book haul makes me bubbly um I'm doing a lot of work in the background I love seeing this new tech kicking in hardcore like seriously gang like for example just just to give you a feel for it gray zone put out a video regarding Israel and Palestine yesterday on censor tube censor tube took a lot took it out because they they said it uh went against their terms of service right lucky for us there is Odyssey there so you could watch the video on Odyssey right so there's a lot of stuff going on and it's amazing and it's fantastic and it's brilliant and I love it right um so staying on top I love Conan the barbarian indeed testosterone fueled comics makes me want to jump iron yeah uh blood Conan is amazing and savage sort of Conan is amazing right Conan is amazing comic books cosmic leave politics to politics folders as far as character wise uh comic book character that I didn't think was gonna go anywhere I just loved that I that is going that is very popular um oh man there's so many of them um I just can't think of any right now how about the Gragnak the barbarian Gragnak the barbarian I think I've read that he's the is it Gragnak the bar no no I'm thinking about somebody else I'm thinking about another barbarian comic and that's really good as well it's black and white what was his name um I forget what the name was uh as far well here's a character that I never thought would would gain so much popularity and everybody knows this everybody knows this character right black panther I never thought black panther would reach the notoriety that it has right never ever in my wildest dreams I thought black panther was gonna go or was gonna go right like I have a couple of issues of black panther number one they're not high graded they're not cgc grade or anything but I never thought it would reach this level you could have bought black panther number one okay for about ten dollars until like before the movie came out like a year before the movie came out right now I don't know what it's selling for but it's got to be over a hundred right Gragnak sounds like it's from the fallout games blood hey I got one uh for you you comic you never thought will blow up guardians of the galaxy no one bothered about the space stuff yeah guardians of the galaxy as well and there's still a lot of comic books out there that and characters out there that they have a lot of leg to run still a lot like huge huge huge oh another one punisher no you know what punisher I thought was gonna go huge punisher I always thought was gonna go big right because punisher is amazing right amazing here's one that if DC comics had an ounce of brains behind their movie and tv production would just put everything they have in it literally it goes against the woke movement woke community it is what the next wave of sort of a wave that's coming right and DC comics would do would make mint I'm talking billions of dollars if they did this thing right if they focused their energy on Lobo Last Zarnian if they came out with a Lobo tv series a Lobo movie that really did Lobo justice on the level of Alan Grant Keith Giffen and Simon Bisley man Lobo would be on the level of Batman if not more okay have you read zombie comics indeed walking dead and walking dead I never thought would reach the level that it has amazing amazing Deathstroke is another one I never thought Deathstroke would go on that level one of my favorite comic characters DC should make a movie on him I think they plan on a blood I think Deathstroke they got a lot of stuff planned for Deathstroke but I never thought Deathstroke would reach the level that it has right now right uh Lehman it's funny how DC makes great animated films but their live action is rough rough rough rough blood Lobo oh yeah hell yeah but man they can't they just can't current culture won't allow and that's the thing anybody that's trying to make money off of current culture is going to get burned come five years from now okay anybody that is introducing uh challenging the current culture and you've got to plant the seeds right now is going to make mint money five ten years from now Lobo is it has anyone seen invincible the yeah invincible is amazing invincible number one three years ago you could have bought invincible number one for a hundred and fifty dollars two hundred dollars a year ago you could have bought invincible number one for four hundred dollars okay invincible number one right now is selling well over a thousand dollars not enough dc move not enough good dc movies true that absolutely yeah yeah they're animated stuff dc is very good very good oh my god as long as Lobo doesn't get the hellboy treat oh man that would be horrendous I think it will rock it to the top indeed I think so too and I hope it doesn't get the hellboy treatment if they're gonna give it the hellboy treatment please don't touch Lobo please don't do it okay Lehman I got a feeling of the boys but animated uh from invincible to be honest yeah but uh yeah yeah boys and uh invincible are on the same level but boys a little bit more hardcore because it's uh real life action but that's true culture comes and goes but you are right about taking opportunities now it's ripe or ripe for changes 100 and that's one of the things I'm doing right now I'm collecting things that are going against the whole culture in a big way have you read uh have you read anime comics um manga yeah yeah for sure uh choco milk not as much as comic books of course but I've read uh I've read Akira I've read uh taking uh Keating I've read this here let me get let me show you what I've read recently check this out check this out awesome venus wars I bought these comics for like a quarter of pop 25 cents right awesome read the series gang issue number one I've only read I only had up to issue number six or some issues I have I only have up to issue number six so I read these I would love to continue reading these and after I finished this I watched the movie the movie was good man the movie was good it didn't do the six issues justice I mean there's more but it's really good really good Akira is absolutely amazing black and white taking Keating I can't pronounce it it's fantastic right uh lone wolf and cub amazing amazing lark bark lobo must be done respectfully and not treated like a joke indeed hardcore you go hardcore on it Lehman just wait till they give you a woke woke fight club it's like the woke ghostbusters that was crazy I didn't watch it of course no way mr brain freeze how are you doing first time catching a live stream glad to be here glad to have you mr brain freeze welcome welcome lord of iron the boys can be uh tough to swallow at times sure sure I haven't read the comics by the way I could have got my hands on the boys comic books the whole set plus some for like 60 bucks and I didn't pull the trigger now it's like way higher right Akira is is a masterpiece lark bark says indeed brilliant brilliant brilliant kintero murah passed away last night yeah rest in peace he passed away a couple of weeks ago I believe they just announced it last night uh from what we understand blood let me give you a recommendation it's psychological thrill it's so good I barely have any words as uh as I do not want to spoil it even a little bit try this human human coalesce by hediyo yama yama is a whole japanese horror can you link it up on our discord blood if you're on our discord link it up on discord gang if you want to share any comic books that people should be reading uh me as well right I've been reading uh dororo by osama tak takudu atak tazuka after I fell in love with the 2019 anime adaptation nice nice serious no I want it to be in that can the price value of comic books drop dramatically yeah for sure cosmic visions for sure it can drop it's like any market there are certain comic books that they were selling for a lot now they're not look at look at uh bad idea comic book right bad idea is a new company that was created by the people who bought the rights for valiant comics and they relaunched in 2012 right so they started a company called bad idea what a bad marketing I mean I can't say I had a on when I was on twitter I had a talk with shashmin I forget his name the main the East Indian guy where they said oh they released the comic book their first comic book any act number one is a good concept great writer on it and they had a limited run on it they didn't supply all the comic books that people had ordered and then they they called their second printing not first printing or something like this or alternate printing they didn't even call the second printing so they're playing games right and any act number one the first printing was selling for like close to 200 dollars on ebay I was like man people why are you guys paying this for that that right it could have gone up higher by the way right it was selling for 200 250 dollars right and it was limited so people couldn't buy it right you couldn't read it I think they stated never going to release it in track paperback and I think they say that they're never going to release it in digital format they did not first printing and that was was selling for basically cover price a little bit higher now that comic any act number one the first printing has dropped to less than like 60 dollars or 60 dollars right so those people that bought it for 250 they just got burned 190 dollars right because they jumped on the gun trying to either flip it or do whatever they wanted to right so comic books can do a sharp drop and I'm staying away from buying anything that they're putting out because I'm not going to I'm not going to play the limited collectible game right if if I was a publisher I try to print as many comics as the market demanded plus some so people could buy my comic books and read it right they did the opposite I don't appreciate that kind of marketing okay 60s manga art very different and interesting cool can I can I link here no only mods and myself can link here you can PM one of the mods and they can PM or PM me anybody seen nobody with Bob it is awesome nobody that rings a bell I don't know if I have all their god tv series you like Japanese horror your love Juniji Juniji it oh yeah yeah I've read some of the work a fantastic oh like very scary blood 23 bad idea I will never forget what Ellen said hate loves irony dodge coin was one of the irony examples indeed choco you prefer horror suspense fun do you have some something that catches your attention I love sci-fi my first love is sci-fi I absolutely love sci-fi and I love I used to love horror a lot more when I was younger but sci-fi I see me let's find out chicho have comics been sold as NFTs yet I don't know let's find out but they will be for sure have you been following Cardano and ethereum from that angle I've I I looked at a little bit and it's legit let's find out okay it's initially I was like wait a second copies can make but NFTs legitimate mfts and not all of them are going to go up in value it's a legitimate collectible NFTs I think it's a legitimate collectible okay like for me even as soon as I heard about it I was like okay so even me I can create NFTs chicho NFTs that are fungible right that they're they cannot be distinguished right or they they cannot be devalued in terms of or not accepted right they they will be what they are right so I've even thought about creating them and let's find out you should look into it as well you could create a let's find out ASMR and let's find out to get by the way gang creates amazing educational ASMR online if if if you like educational ASMR intelligent ASMR you should be following let's find out let's find out ASMR's channel and his channel is right here let me find it out that's fine let me grab the link but let's find out I think for independent creators it is a great idea for people to look into creating NFTs this is let's find out ASMR channel it's a great idea to create NFTs to generate funds to be able to roll out whatever you need to roll out I haven't looked into that yet right I have only looked into it in the term in the level that it's a legitimate place to be right I haven't looked into creating them yet creating them seems to be fairly easy but I will at some point right as soon as I do a few more things in the background it is one place I'm going to go to create a new revenue stream okay whatever it may be it it's irrelevant whatever it may be okay publish 75 variant covers like berserker yeah kianaries I bought a couple I bought a few of those a variant covers I bought like four or five of them I like kianaries man I really like kianaries I will support him okay movie that was good oh no nobody movie that I see it I can't remember last but not least do you own any virtual comic books no I don't own any digital comic books I have I've never bought let me replace I haven't bought any digital comics I whisper to you to okay thank you very much blood best to whisper okay hold on NFT is just another derivative for sure but puts and calls are derivatives it's a legitimate means but it is a collectible it is a collectible they will be value on them okay 99.9% will have zero value there will be a certain amount that do I'm pretty sure 90% of these have purchased through ethereum I think ethereum is is the main platform or ethereum derivatives of why not get index funds chicho right now I would not go long on any I would be very selective on what you're investing in okay specific companies only I think the general market is doing a rollover and it's going to do a serious adjustment unless unless you know fiat currencies go the way of zimbabwe and to compensate for devaluing other currencies the market is going to shoot up to 100 000 for dal right yeah keanu rees is awesome indeed cosmic vision no way I own like all the john wick on prime haha nice I own I collected the john wick comic book series when it came out I grabbed all the covers that I could get without the incentive right plus I bought the whole series john wick was fantastic and those comic books at the time no one was buying them I think they're going for a premium price now I haven't checked into it recently I don't like all the john wick let's find that chicho I will absolutely look into ntf nfts glad to hear a fellow creators interested thanks for that live it's very mutual awesome lots of love right back brother and if you find anything interesting let me know brother I think it's very legitimate very legitimate thanks for answering my question by the way my pleasure cosmic vision my pleasure do you have batman comics indeed cyanide for dinner I got a lot of batman comics I like batman I collect blu-ray movies just for fun and obviously not for store about Ronnie don't underestimate the store of value right they may become collectibles at some point blood 23 do you think there will be an index fund for cryptos there are already ntfs for cryptos there are already ntfs for cryptos uh blood for sure Lehman I bought some old gants manga for like seven dollars each and then found out they are worth like 40 dollars used yeah perfect right I look into that collectibles are a great place to be great place to be comics make the world go around cosmic visions indeed and gang on that note let's call the stream okay this was a quick comic book haul and a nice discussion to go around as well regarding comic books and collectibles and personal finance love it love it love it hellzog when streaming will collapse for uh environmental reasons dvd and blu-rays will be gold possibly possibly thanks for the stream brother my pleasure see you next time see you next time

days aside from that i hope you guys have a fantastic day and thank you for being here bye everyone


So, in the previous session we understood normal force and we know that normal force is one type of contact force. Now, the another type of contact force is friction. It is very common term and we come across friction on a day to day basis. The wear and tear, the writing which you are doing on the paper right now or your soul of the shoe is going you know or getting torn or let us say when you are rubbing your hand against a wall then it gets rubbed up. So, you know whenever you talk about friction quite often. So, what is friction force is what is the point of discussion today. So, friction is a type of contact force which acts between two surfaces in contact right. So, you cannot imagine friction between two surfaces which are not in contact. For example, you know a wall on one side and the wall on the other side of your room if they are not in contact they are not rubbing against each other there is no friction. So, if you have two you know two hands in air separated there will not be friction. So, when you rub the hands against each other you feel that heat. So, hence only when the two palms come in contact when you apply some force and then the friction resist your movement of the palm and because of that resistance some heat is generated and you you know feel that warmth right. So, first thing is when two objects are in contact only then you can expect friction to be there. Now, it acts always along the surfaces in contact. So, we are going to discuss all of them one by one, but always remember friction is friction will be applied when two surfaces in contact acts along the surface and not that just because two objects are in contact they will experience friction in between them. No. So, for example, a book lying idle on a horizontal table will not experience any friction whatsoever. So, another criteria for the friction to exist is it must or it will be there only when the two surfaces are in contact or and then secondly it they must have a tendency to move relative to each other. What is related to each other? So, let us say if you are having a table of sorts table is there and there is something some object over there so the object must move with respect to the table that means someone sitting on the table must observe that the object is moving that is called relative motion you studied in the previous chapter motion. So, only when there is a relative motion between two surfaces in contact they will feel friction or they will experience friction. So, either they are moving relatively to each other or they have tendency of relative motion. So, what does tendency of relative motion mean? So, tendency of relative motion is that let us say you would you would see a ramp and there is a book kept over there and this is at an angle let us say theta with horizontal ok. So, there is a ramp inclined plane ok. So, there is an inclined plane on which something some book is kept and it is not slipping or it is not sliding down the ramp it is static over there. So, it does not mean that there is no friction in between the two objects just because they are stationary there is a great tendency of this book to go down like this. So, hence this is called tendency of relative motion. So, it is not moving but it given a chance it will start moving just like that. So, that is called tendency of relative motion. So, wherever there is motion relative motion or there is tendency of relative motion friction will appear over there. Now, it depends on the roughness of the surfaces in contact higher the roughness higher is the friction you know that right. So, you would have seen carpenters using sandpaper. So, different sandpapers are there with different coarseness. So, hence let us say more the rough surface harder friction it will be applying on the surface on which the sandpaper is applied ok. Now, it also depends on the normal force acting between the surfaces right. So, higher the normal force between the surface higher will be the friction what does it mean? So, this is the inclined plane this is the book over there we just learned that whenever there will be two surfaces in contact there will be forces. So, there is a normal force acting on the book by the let us say inclined plane then the friction acting here let us say this is the friction acting here this will be directly proportional to the normal force. So, higher the normal higher will be the friction ok. Now it is responsible for wear and tear of surfaces in contact and friction can support or oppose the motion both it is not necessary that friction always will oppose you know always oppose the motion. The only thing is friction always opposes a relative motion. So, you have to please you have to you know understand this very very subtly right. So, friction does not allow a does not resist all the motion in fact there will be many cases where friction actually supports the motion for example simple walking. So, we will show you through this diagram so you are seeing you know people are moving you know and hence what is happening is this toe here is trying to push the ground right it is trying to slip over ground like this. So, the movement of the leg is like that is it not you are trying to push the ground backward. So, hence what is happening here there is some kind of rubbing going on between the foot sole and the and the ground. So, the sole is moving in this direction with respect to the ground if you see this is let us say the ground. So, the sole is trying to move in this direction. So, what will happen the ground will try to oppose this relative motion right. So, friction always oppose this oppose this relative motion. So, hence it the force will be applied like this. So, ground is applying this force this is the force this is direction of force applied by ground on to your foot and hence my dear friends you are able to walk. So, you would see that on a slippery road when there is no friction then what will happen then what will happen when you will keep trying to push the ground or you know the sole is rubbing against the ground but then since there is no friction. So, your foot is not getting enough force back to let you move. So, hence in the slippery road you will fall down right. So, that is a common experience. Now, if you see friction is acting between the bottom surface of the block and the floor. So, in this case if you consider this block this block when you are trying to push right. So, when you are trying to push the bottom surface of the block is trying to move in this direction right. So, the ground underneath which is there the ground underneath which is there will try to oppose this motion of the upper block and hence the lower surface of the block which I am showing like this like this is going to experience a force in this direction and hence you would notice when you try to push a heavy trunk it becomes very difficult to move it why because there is tremendous amount of friction which is trying to resist the motion of the block towards the right. Now, let us understand few more things here. So, you can see you know this is where the boy is slipping down the ride right or this inclined plane. So, there is actual motion happening. So, the boy would have started slipping from here and it is and he is coming down like that. So, actual slipping is happening. So, there is actual relative motion happening. So, friction is trying to resist this boy from moving downwards. So, this is where we there is actual relative motion taking place. Let us take a case where motion is not there, but then there is a tendency of motion. So, you can see lots of water droplets sticking on to the glass pane. So, you would have seen that in a rainy season. So, what is happening here? If you see the all the drops have a tendency to move down and hence you can see the shape getting created accordingly right. So, they have a tendency to move down, but they are sticking on to that surface. So, what is stopping them from moving down or sliding down the surface? The friction force is there which is holding them from moving down. So, hence there is a great tendency of the tendency of the water droplets to move down, but the friction between them and the surface of the glass is holding the water drops from falling. And hence you see if you know if by any means the weight of the drop is more or the drop is of bigger size then even friction will not be able to hold it back and it will start dropping down. So, hence this is the case of tendency to move right. So, there is no movement actual movement, but there is tendency to movement here also friction will act. Now, let us go to the next top point and this is let us try this out with you. So, this is the question for all of you. If you are asked to slide over these surfaces, which one would you prefer and why? So, these are the three surfaces guys, this is one, second, third.  Obviously, I know most of you would never go for these or these you will pick up this if at all you have to, it is made compulsory to slide on one of them. So, why is that? Because you can see this is highest roughness right. So, you can see the gravel which is there will give you tremendous amount of roughness and hence tremendous upon tremendous amount of friction. So, this is relative quantity. So, basically if you see this is also this will also give you some resistance because this is also rough. But as compared to option one and option two, this you can think of would be slightly better. Because the roughness here will be considerably lesser than that of a gravel filled road, is it not? And this my friend will be the highest or if I have to coin a term called smoothness coefficient then this will be the most smooth surface and you will pick this up you know if at all you have to slide on these right. So, what do we suggest from or what do we infer from this? We understand that higher the surface roughness higher will be the friction ok. Now next is it also depends on normal force. So, how why is it difficult to slide a heavier object on a rough surface as compared to a lighter object? So, let us take these examples right. So, what is this? So, you can see there is a huge this is the competition you know there is a person who is trying to pull you know air force aircraft and you can see the effort this guy is putting. So, why is it so difficult to push this object and this is relatively easier to pull is it not? This cart is easier to pull simply because the normal force which the ground is applying onto the onto the objects here is much higher in case of this aeroplane as compared to this cart. Why? Because you will later understand that normal force depends on how much is the weight also in these cases right. So, higher the weight higher will be the normal higher will be the normal higher will be the friction force. So, this guy is experiencing he has to apply tremendous amount of force as compared to this person. So, why? Because the friction offered by the ground to this object this aeroplane here is much, much higher much, much higher than in this case ok. So, hence again higher the normal higher will be the friction ok. So, understand this part as well now. So, responsible for wear and tear you all of you know so, you can see a tire surface totally worn out and you have to replace these tire every you know at a particular frequency you know that you know if not replace then it can lead to many accidents. So, these threads which are given here can you see this type of design is made on the tires to make it rough. So, that you know the contact surface between the tires and the road have, surfaces have significant roughness and because of that there will be significant friction and hence the vehicle will not skid. So, but then over a period of time it will get worn out because of that friction. Similarly here so, the sole of the shoe you have to replace many a times there will be some wear and tear some crack marks on the sole why because after continuous uses the friction will damage the sole right. These again these design are provided to make sure that enough roughness is there on the surface of the sole so that while walking you do not slip over. And this is something called you know this is brake pads so, you can see this is a brake pad used in cars to you know to up you know to whenever you want to stop the vehicle then you apply brakes right. So, what happens there again we use the concept of friction to you know where the brake pads rub against the wheel and because of that rubbing there will be a relative motion between the two and the brake pads will oppose the motion of the wheel and hence thereby stopping the vehicle right. So, but again after continuous use this gets worn out ok so, this is what we discussed about friction. So, what did we discuss again friction is a contact force it acts only when there is a relative motion between the two surfaces it depends on the surface roughness it depends on the normal acting between the two surfaces and it is responsible for wear and tear and friction does not always oppose motion it yes definitely oppose relative motion, but it actually also facilitate some motion right relative motion it will always oppose. But the motion otherwise there are cases where friction has facilitated that for we saw that example where walking is facilitated because of that friction only and similarly the vehicles move on the on the road because of friction only. So, these are these are the cases where friction actually facilitates motion, but if you see the relative motion of the tire or the sole with respect to the ground it is always oppose and because of that phenomena only we are able to walk or we are able to drive a vehicle right. So, we will discuss all that in a separate topic under friction because we have to also study something called coefficient of friction we have to also study something called variety of friction. So, there is something called static friction, kinetic friction and to an extent we will have to also study rolling friction. So, all these are different types of frictions which are there which we will have to study that will take up in a separate session.


You kind of set it toward the end convince other people Let's say I do that. I agree with you. What then? well You all heard that right and the basic idea was What happens once we change people's ideas well then that is easy because the fact is like it or not We get the politicians we deserve and Want so everybody says I want lower lower taxes and then they ask well, would you cut this program? No, would you cut this program? No, would you cut this program? No, expand expand expand So we get the politicians that we want and deserve But if what we want if what we want is actually a society in which we're free to pursue our happiness Then that's exactly what we'll get now You have to then develop plans for how do we get from where we are today to a truly free country once again? Where what you earn is yours to figure out how to best serve your life? But this is not really a hard problem. It's not hard to unwind a system like this It'll be uncomfortable, but we don't have any good options anyway every one way or another It's going to be hard on some people But it's not that hard to wind down a handout program You just make it you know less and less over time until it's gone and then it's just to debate over how much time So what really has to happen is fundamentally people's ideas have to be changed and then we can have plans for specifically what did we vote on but the Those will come people believe me. I spent a lot of time in Washington more than I would like to and There's no shortage of people to come up with plans to do something that they think is popular The problem is this isn't popular yet. And so the issue is really how do we make the the goal? Popular and at that point Actually carrying it out There's a lot of smart people who are thinking about how to carry out things everybody wants to achieve in the first place So that's my short answer to that Hello I just want to say yeah, I agree with what you're saying Overall, I always kind of felt like you know people should be doing their own thing and you know in real life There is no safety net. However, I think more and more people these days Are sicker and sicker than they ever have been like cancer was a really rare thing a long time ago Now it's happening all the time and I think that's because Basically the corporations along with corrupt government are making profits by essentially getting people sick if you look at what's in the food The water of the air oil companies doing what they're doing to back I mean, it's it's insanely amount of money they make by making people sick So to a degree not only do I think we need a social net because of that I think the corporations if they actually paid their fair share There's actually enough money out there for everybody not to have to work and to be able to actually do what they Want to do and and be happy and that's just so I mean like if you just just the US Half the the GDP right now is military You know that literally half the money comes in you look at the secret programs It's all going there and corporations aren't even paying taxes So isn't that the issue isn't that a much greater and more important issue? And how does that sort of fit into what you're talking about here with the with the safety net? So my view is that the purpose of government is to protect our freedom a Broad from threats abroad and threats here. So police military and ultimately law courts So, you know, we can debate about exactly is our you know, military functioning the way I think it should But I want to challenge the premise of the question which is in effect that Corporations and so on have an interest in making a sick you mentioned oil companies When did human beings start living longer? Our average age of living was about 30 until we had the industrial revolution Powered by fossil fuel companies as fossil fuels that have made us living to 80 So the idea that the only reason people get cancer now and they didn't used to is they used to be dead first from other causes fossil fuels and Companies who have made our lives Longer and more enjoyable have been the biggest boon to human civilization in history I mean, this is basically we had to do everything with muscle power And now we can do it with machine power because we have these immense machine calories that keep us alive And do they have side effects? Of course they have side effects everything we do is side effects But one of the great things about things like fossil fuel energy is it gives you the means to then deal with those side effects to deal with Issues like pollution and so on so I think the greatest boon to human civilization has been big business Corporations the profit motive means that there's people right now who are staying up later and working harder in order to figure out How to make your life longer more enjoyable more satisfying to figure out ways that you can read more books See more movies drive further live in bigger homes. That's amazing There's people working for your good because they want to make a lot of money. That's awesome I want to make a lot of money. I picked the wrong career to do it But nevertheless, I mean these are really amazing things and what we really want then is what we want is a system That protects our rights because they're clearly your people whether it's in big business or government or anything else Who want to make our lives worse and you need to protect those rights from things like a burning made-off Who's going to steal a bunch of your money or from somebody who's going to violate your property rights by dumping a lot of waste water into it? So we need a government. We need a government to protect those rights But beyond that no the greatest thing that you could have is the profit motive that drives people to do amazing amazing Things to better human life and that's really what we should admire and strive to protect and what the welfare state does in effect It says hey, you should be guaranteed rewards not for sitting around thinking about how to make other people's lives better But just for existing and how we're gonna do that by taking money from the people who made your lives better and giving it to you And I think that is completely immoral and that's what I'm challenging Hey, I think what he was pointing at was it's not that fossil fuel is making people sick. It's that For today's living standards, I think it would it would be improved and people wouldn't and old people wouldn't be getting as sick except Let's say health care that they they have certain drugs that Have you dependent on the drugs instead of simply caring you because it because they make money for the pharmaceutical companies And that is why but that doesn't make any sense think about it So let's say let's say I create two drugs. I create one that will keep you sick But keep you paying for a long time and I create one that will cure you Could I charge you more for the one that cured you would you be willing to pay more for that than for the one that kept you sick for a long time? if you don't expect if you don't expect the disease to actually cure if you either don't expect the disease to actually kill you or you don't Or you don't expect it to be that bad if they don't have a sense of Look the the The only reason we buy into these ideas. I know people in the pharmaceutical industry They're not these demons who sit behind desks and try to keep us sick And do you think that that would not get into the papers if they did? No Everybody hates pharmaceutical companies the Washington Post would love it if they could have an expose and how they're keeping this curious side No, these are people who want to help people by and large and they do they help people in a lot of ways And the fact is that if they came up with a way to cure you would be willing to pay more For a cure than you would for something that lagged you along for a long time Which is why economically it wouldn't make sense to hold back a cure It would just make sense to charge a lot of money for it And and that's great. You should if you're actually curing diseases, but it's really really hard to cure them I mean one of my one of my good friends is one of the leading Ebola People you probably see them on CNN lately and everything like that figuring out how to cure these things is a really really hard problem and Thank goodness for the profit motive There's a bunch of people out there trying to solve it, but no, I don't think that there's this secret like You know our neighbors are conspiring to keep us sick including their own family members I mean remember all these people who are holding back these cures supposedly you know They have family members who have cancer who have heart disease who have all these things Are they doing it for a buck?  It's not true Well, but that's the bigger problem there So you mentioned just for the record and somebody here's it It's not just holding back cures It's the amount of tests and so on the pride the primary evil there is the FDA the FDA Raises the cost of creating new drugs and bringing them to the market by thousands and thousands of percent In a genuinely free market other people wouldn't have the freedom to arbitrarily hold back drugs that you wanted to take You would get to decide for yourself And so you'd have yeah companies would go through testing in order to make sure that what they were doing was safe and effective But not in the arbitrary way the FDA does and so the cost of drugs would be a fraction of what they are today I regard the FDA is one of the worst killers of Americans in this country For that very reason All right last question. I Was just wondering what do you think a free state looks like a? free state I Think it looks essentially although not exactly. I think it looks essentially like what existed in America before Let's say roughly 1900 now. Let me make some caveats first of all So the clear number one caveat is that for a bunch of the time before? 1900 there was slavery which is one of the most evil institutions in history So clearly I'm excluding that as an example of freedom The the second thing is there was a bunch of government interference in all sorts of ways Whether it was subsidies and cronyism handouts to you know big business special favors for business There was all sorts of regulations there were minuscule handout programs But essentially what you saw in America before before 1900 and definitely before 1935 Was essentially the kind of government that I think is right Which is one that's focused fundamentally on protecting people's freedom protecting their rights and leaving them free to pursue their own happiness And so that is the model that we should be aspiring to and what we see then historically is the closer The governments have come to approximating genuine freedom The better life has gotten it was you know the more free we were the faster we grew The better the culture was and so on and so I think the if we're gonna look historically That's the best model, but we can do better. We can do way better We've come so far just in terms of knowledge technology and wealth given the freedom that has remained That if we had genuine freedom today It would be It would be an inspiring sight. There's no reason why education healthcare any of these can't be as entrepreneurial and innovative as Silicon Valley and That's what I want to see and that's why I think a good first step is get rid of programs that stop treating people as able to support their Own lives respect their need to think produce and to support their own lives and treat them like burdens and resources And as if we take that first step will be on the road to a genuinely free society Thank you


With the sunshine double done and dusted for another year and the clay court season only just around the quarter But it's a massive changes after the Miami open to a lot of players outside the top 10 not just inside that top 10 Let's go have a look at who actually won the tournament last week server on the WTA side of things We had Daniel Collins winning her biggest trophy of her career taking it We're back into the final and it's now back-to-back final losses in Miami for a baccala seven five six three Great win for Collins and she definitely got a boost in the rankings for that on the men's side Yannick Sinner third time lucky winning the tournament against a meet-robin the final six three six one He was flawless all week Sinner and he also got a boost in the rankings in fact both guys did after that final All right Let's have a look at the players that we went up in the rankings over the last week Alex and drove up she goes to a career high number 15 in the world one spot higher the last week after making the semi finals Not only that beating Pagol and Shriyantek along the way So confidence and a high ranking Daniel Collins of course winning the title goes up 31 spots the 22 in the world So she'll be seated at some of the big events coming up over the clay season and Marijan He goes up 19 spots to a career high 38 in the world after having a great run into the quarter finals of this event So some massive boost there for some players that did well here plays I went down to the rankings Castella had a really good run here last year it goes down to 29 in the world five spots lower than last week You banks also somebody who played well in Miami in 2023 he drops nine spots number 41 in the world and Russivari same as you banks got to the quarter finals last year and dropped 17 spots at 65 in the world after failing to defend those points So the players that did well got a massive boost and the players that didn't do so well really dropped down the rankings unfortunately All right, let's go look at the WTA rankings for this week. No massive changes fiance She stays at number one extending her leading in Sabalenka who's at number two golf She stays at three and Rabakina stays at four you got Pagola at five and Jabir at six We do have a change in the middle with Sakiri going up two spots after making the quarter finals on Miami to number seven The world pushing down Jung and Vondrusova down to number eight nine So Vondy didn't play and Jung didn't have a good week. So Sakiri got rewarded for that She hasn't had a really good sunshine double and coming in number ten is Osta Penko four now Just hanging on to that 10th spot, but with the clay court season coming up We've got a lot of players especially at the top of the rankings fiance Sabalenka For example a lot of points to defend over the next couple of months So we'll keep an eye on that little battle between one and two as we get onto the clay looking at the race of the finals And no change with fiance extending at number one but Rabakina She goes up to number two pushing Sabalenka down to number three after making the final in Miami They're very close on points as well with that number two and three So over the clay season will be really fun to watch them Jung comes in at number four with golfer number five Osta Penko stays in number six, but Daniel Collins flies up the rankings 19 spots into that number seven spot after winning 1,000 points in Miami and that pushes Paulini who won Dubai another 1,000 event down to number eight So Collins huge boost in the rankings and race of the finals after winning that tournament Callan's guy, she stays at number nine with Kostrel going down two spots number ten Pushing Pavlia Cenkovic completely out of the rankings to the race of the finals So that win by Collins was massive Really pushing players out of the way and if you win a 1,000 event You're gonna be in the top seven or top eight for the year especially this early in the season So really interested to see how she does on the clay if she can keep that ranking But race of the finals starting to look interesting over on the men's side of things No change at the top with Djokovic staying at number one But Yannick Sinner, he overtakes Elkres with that win in Miami and he is now the world number two That is a career high for him and he knocks Elkres down number three out of the top two for the first time I think since the US Open in 2022. So Elkres being at number three. He hasn't been used to that lately So Yannick Sinner career high after winning Miami Medvedev, he stays at number four with Zverevich number five, Rublev at six with Runa at seven Kasparovic stays at number eight, but Grigory Dmitrov back into the top ten for the first time since 2018 after making the final of Miami He goes up to number nine That's three spots higher than last week pushing her catch down to number ten and he pushed Diminor Completely out of the top ten for this week So great to see Dmitrov getting some rewards and getting back in that top ten for the first time in a long time And he is the only one-hander backhand in the top ten So he's kind of saving the one-hander as well after city pass fell out of the top ten earlier in the year So great to see Dimi and a one-hander back in the top ten this week Going over to the race of the finals now and again no change at the top with Sinner Just extending his lead adding another thousand points to his total with Medvedev making the semis staying at number two We do have a little bit of a change though with Elkara is going down to number four and Zverev going up to number three After Elkara has failed to make it past the quarter finals and Zverev making it to the semis Diminor he stays in there at number five, but Dmitrov He goes into that top six seven spots higher than last week after making the final of Miami and adding 650 points pushing Rublev down to seven Baez goes down to number eight Kasper Ruud gets a little bit of a boost going up one spot to number nine with Ombar going down two spots to number ten and Tommy Paul falling out of the top ten completely the race of the finals mainly because of that Dmitrov final that he made So very fun top ten of course most of these players will be expecting to see at the A to B finals But the big name missing is Novak Djokovic He's currently 12 in this race hasn't played that much tennis and when he has played he hasn't done that much that well So Djokovic over the clay season really looking to see him in this list of players But a lot of familiar names and it's really starting to take shape and there it is They are the rankings for this week and that's it for the hard court season the first three months of the season Hard courts for the most part of course There was a little bit of clay in there as well But now we go to the clay exclusively on clay no more hard court tennis until I think mid-July or somewhere around there End of July so we're just gonna be playing clay for the next couple months Really keen to see how sinner does on the clay because it's not his best surface He can't play on clay, but it's not his best also see as fiontech does on clay because she dominates on the clay usually She is number one in the world and trying to keep that lead against Savalenka But let me know down in the comments below what's been the most exciting part of the Sunshine double for you Has it been seeing players like Collins have a fairytale run. That was such a great story Maybe to meet Rob getting back in the top 10 has been a great story Or maybe it's just that the best guys in the world and the best girls in the world have been playing really really well Sin of dominating again and again and again. I mean these guys just can't lose at the moment There it is that is the rankings up the first part of the season now onto the clay


onal Innovation Forum for the Arab States. The ITU is always here to help build a thriving and competitive digital innovation ecosystem in the region. For all of our work, you can connect at innovation.itu.int. And I believe if there are perhaps further questions from the audience, this is now your moment to jump in as we're having another eight minutes or so. Who do we have here? Chiavina, Faisal and Annie. Dr. Hussi, all the way to you. What would stop you from assessing impact of that particular initiative that you mentioned? The one who's supposed to make you rich, remember? That one. Using a simple survey and then automizing data collection as well as report with analytics. Was it a lack of such a tool, perhaps? No, the issue for, it's not the issue about the tool, the technologies, again, putting the time and the effort creating within universities that, hey, in the Arab world, that, hey, this is an idea, let's take it on, let's take it to the next phase and give you time. It's not about just moving forward and giving the academic or the researcher time to develop and to innovate and to spend time. It's not about the training. There's lots of training. And then all the training. It's like industry, like, is there an actual company that, hey, we like this idea, we're going to take it on, we can include you in the process and this way, let's move it forward. So, but that brings up another level of complexity.  How do you revenue sharing? All these kinds of complexities that come about from this stuff. And I don't think universities are ready or have the policy of the procedures that they're going, they're moving there. And I think this is happening, especially when you talk about science and engineering, but are we there yet? No, is it going to take time? Yes, I think we need some good success stories. Like, hey, you know what? There's a product from these key universities. There like been whatever, multi-billion or multi-million dollar products. And this, these, if we have more of those stories, this will really encourage other universities to start investing in faculty and in their ideas and in their products to move them forward.   Anyway, those are our constructs and issues that we challenge with as academics. And hopefully somehow we can consolidate those so we can make a difference in our communities through these innovations and these entrepreneurship and industry, it's not about money at the end of the day, it's about making a difference. I hope that answers that question. I really love that sentence. If there are no further questions from the audience, I'd like to give it up to Karim who wants to properly close the forum. So thank you very much, Hanija and the distinguished speakers of the last session. It's not about money at the end of the day, it's about making a difference. That I think is the perfect note to end the regional innovation forum. I want to thank all the distinguished participants throughout yesterday and today who I think made very, very interesting insights. I hope the participants who were interacting with us throughout both days enjoyed the regional innovation forum. I want to invite you to continue your participation in the Global Innovation Forum and the other regional innovation forums taking place for the rest of today and the rest of the week. I understand there's a very interesting session planned within the Africa Regional Innovation Forum titled Mainstreaming Innovation and Entrepreneurship Capacity in the Africa region with Smart Africa. So I invite you to join that later today. And with that, on that note, this forum is an annual forum, so hopefully we'll see you again next year. Hope you all stay safe. And once again, thank you all for the participants and for the speakers and well done to all the organizers. Thank you very much. Thank you, everyone. Thank you so much. Thank you, Khadija and Ahmed and everyone else. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
