Hello and welcome to NewsClick. The beginning of the monsoon session of parliament in 2023 was marked by the release of a video just a day before which is from Manipura, a gruesome video which seems to have prompted the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, to make a comment on the contents of this video which relates to an atrocity, a brutal atrocity against a woman in Manipur during the violence that began on 3rd May. Today, to discuss the implications of everything that has happened over the last 24 hours, we are joined by Nandita Haqsar who is an expert on the Northeast region and she is a woman's rights activist. Welcome to the NewsClick, Nandita ji. So let's begin with the Prime Minister breaking his silence. What do you make of this sudden change of heart? If we hear his comment, he condemns the act of parading two, in fact there were three cookie women. He doesn't mention their community. He just says that this is an atrocious act or he is very angered by it. He is very saddened by it and then he just talks about it as an isolated incident of sexual harassment and then he says that I hope all the chief ministers in all the states will protect women. So he is still not made a statement either on Manipur or on the context in which this horrendous act actually took place. So the context not being mentioned and the Prime Minister seems to engage in a generality of course we all agree that there should be no violence against women. But what is the context that you think needs to be highlighted? Well, in the context of what our Prime Minister said, it's really odd because just the whole movement of the wrestlers who are awarded and gold medallists who are fighting against sexual harassment and that person was, you know, not even an FIR could be filed. And here an FIR was filed and no action was taken by the police. So you know it's quite outrageous and it's like a mockery of what is being happening to women and how women are being used and how women's rights are being part of politics. But as a feminist we know that rape is not one time act. It's always been used by men against other men. It's that. But I don't want to go into that in this particular talk. What I want to say is what is the context? Now the context immediately is that Manipur has seen violence for more than two months almost three months and the government, the state government and the center which now has declared it under 355 has been not able to be able to be controlled. So the question is why? And this is not a one time act. There are continuously, in fact I think your news channel also exposed the other rape cases and no noise was made, no statements were given and other print media also has exposed other cases. In this case itself, this young woman's brother was killed trying to save her and the father was killed, the village was burnt. So this context is and it is very clear is a violence against the cookie community. Now the question is why is there a violence? And as a journalist, I'm sure you know that we say what is happening, we have been talking about what has been happening, but nobody is talking about why it's happening. And now I think it's time to talk about why it's happening. What is the why that you feel the media hasn't actually focused on? Well, there are three, shall I say, three aspects to it. One is a historical aspect which some of it has come out, but a large amount of media has really been talking to a large number of media intellectuals and not asking them about taking stands on such issues, about two militia who have been responsible for a lot of the violence. None of them were asked to take a stand on that. The Arambayi Tengul on the Mehti Lepun. Yes. So they're not asked to take a stand, they're asked just generally. On the other hand, they are asked to condemn the actions of the Mirabai, these are women torch bearers. Now I think that's why I want to come to this. Now what is making the Mehti's angry? Why are the top singers singing in a way to ask for genocide, saying that they will kill every cookie? Why is this people who are so proud of their culture using all their cultural resources and their physical resources and their martial arts and the arms that they have got to attack the cookies? What is this rage? And I don't want, I mean, there is, either we do this or we demonize them. I don't want to talk, I just want to say, let's understand them. We don't have to agree with them. We don't have, I don't want to rationalize what they're doing. But there is some logic behind it, diabolical, but there is a logic behind it. And that is what? The Mehti communities, the underground, the Mehti as a whole community, including their Medetan groups, have all focused on the glory of a Mehti kingdom, 2000-year-old kingdom. They are justly proud of their history, their language, their culture, their dance, their films, and they are angry every time anyone threatens the unity and integrity of Manipur by either asking for separation from Manipur or for asking for more autonomy, or for asking for more power sharing within Manipur, they go into a tizzy. So in 2001, they burnt the Legislative Assembly. So this, and then they started giving back their awards. So through sheer political domination, physical violence, they are trying to make everyone accept the idea that Manipur State's integrity should not be broken. So that is the cause of it. Now the question is, is this the best way of espousing a cause? And I would ask the Mehtis, as an Indian who fought against Armed Forces Special Powers Act, that just as you didn't think that Armed Forces Special Powers Act is the best way that India could integrate or make the Mehtis feel at home, this is not the way by raping the Kuki women, by burning their villages, by throwing them out, by demonizing them, by singing songs like genocidal songs, this is hardly the way. How on earth can you fight for a united Manipur by attacking Kukis and before this the Nagas and saying that they are primitive, they are backward, they don't have culture? So this is not the best way in any politics. Is the previous demand which we used to hear about till May and early part of June that the trigger point was actually the demand for a scheduled tribe status? So was that really a cover for everything else that was happening underneath or was it still? Well of course, because there are lots of factors and there are complexity of Manipur. It is very complex. I don't know other states but this is one part of the world I do know. And I would say that it is a continuously refusal of successive governments to address the grievances of the communities in living in Manipur or the Nagas or the Pangal or the Andhra or whoever. So the point is that this, Mr Modi says very often that we are carrying the logical end what the Congress has done. So sometimes I think that there is a truth to this that it's not as if the Congress was all correct. They were using divided, they were no policy for northeast. It was only counterinsurgency. And now we have come to the point when all these years of divide and rule and identity politics has come to the fore. But there is a difference and this difference is a very, very stark difference I would say because the other governments did it but they were sometimes a center, sometimes a state. It was very muddled kind of non-policy. But here I think there is a policy and that's the difference. What kind of policy? And this policy is of consolidation of the Hindu identity in Manipur. And that's why we see the burning of churches and it's not only the center or the state or the party because there are local factors also playing but how does this incident happen? It can only happen because we know that from the testimony of the two women that the police, there were policemen in that mob. That's actually a very important thing to point out now because the response has been in the last section of the media and others who are watching that well the police should take action now. The state comes in. Exactly. And now firstly there were members of the police. We know that police has played a major role in this and are some rifles on two sides. And now the chief minister comes up and he says I will ensure death penalty for the perpetrators. Now that, how will he ensure, will he interfere in the legal process? So as it is the legal process, the entire courts, the judiciary, the criminal law justice system is compromised. And the whole, all democratic institutions are compromised. So there's no question of getting justice in that sense. So if we must acknowledge that and the very fact that the prime minister didn't make a statement and to show the seriousness of the situation at another level, we have for the first time a US ambassador saying, offering to mediate. How can he offer to mediate? European Commission has given a statement, the UK has been discussing it, freedom of religion committee in America is involved. So these statements have to be seen in the light of the fact that the church is also intervening. And the politics of the church is quite different from the community which may be in Manipur. Right, but the church in Manipur is a divided church. They've been attempts to unify and so on. No, church means that within the Manipur, meaning the large majority of the Nagas are Baptist church. Which is again the headquarters is in America. It's a very conservative and fundamentalist ideology. There is a small group of Catholics. And among the Nagas in fact, village after village has passed resolution that only one denomination will be allowed. Then among the cookies, a large number of precipitarians. Again, America based, some Baptist also. So this is the links are there. Now I don't want to say that these links are responsible for any politics of that kind. Because the cookie politics was not church-based politics, cookies were demanding separation. So it was not that they were playing. But when the churches get burned, then the church politics comes in and international agencies come in and then they only focus on one aspect and not on Manipur as a whole. So it gets much more complicated. So now what are we going to do about it? That is the issue. So first, this is my suggestion because in the first interview I knew that it's not going to stop. That's why I just said that it should be a truth and reconciliation. I just hoped and against hope that maybe something will stop this violence. The situation seems as if here is our truth and now you reconcile with it. It doesn't sound like the truth and reconciliation which you might have had in mind then. No, absolutely not. And even then I just didn't know what to say. So now I think the first thing, if we all are concerned about Manipur, is that there should be a debate which is what the opposition parties who call themselves India have demanded that there should be a debate not on this incident on Manipur, what is to be done, why is it happening, responsibilities must be fixed and responsibilities especially with the state government and the central government and the police and the armed forces and the courts and the institutions. So those issues have to be debated on and discussed. So first of all there must be a debate in the parliament. Now the problem is that after the debate and whichever point, neither the cookies nor the metis are actually represented in the parliament. So there's a Naga MP who I'm not sure whether he can represent cookie interests and metis interests under the circumstances. So maybe what should be done is a parliamentary committee which then takes in the others or I don't know some mechanism by which the parliament can hear these views. Second, I think the chief minister should resign. This is under these circumstances. Anyone should take moral responsibility and resign. I don't even know why he has not resigned and unless he's given a backing and then why is he being given this backing is a question which needs to be answered. And when it is answered then we will probably know how all this violence because this violence cannot have taken place without state complicity. And by this violence you mean not just what the video shows but the violence in... Yes, yes, Manipur violence. I'm talking about the violence in Manipur. And in that context I just some figures is that how many guns are there? One is that the I think 37,000, 7,000 guns were looted which have not been recovered from police stations. Some report which I cannot check and verify have said that they were in boxes which were given to people. Now I don't know whether that's true but they have not been recovered. There are these licenses which have been given to people mostly metes in this case, license guns. They are all these armed groups which have arms and sophisticated and trained. So in this atmosphere how on earth can you have a conversation? So that is one. Second I would say, so first is the debate in parliament, second is the resignation of the chief minister. I think what I would like to see which is an appeal that the mete intellectuals and intelligentsia must come together and own up to what their community has done. And it's very much the same as I am saying this because as an Indian that's what I did. That's what I was doing. Why was I sitting in Manipur Baptist Church fighting for the rights of the church which I don't believe in. I am opposed to it. But for five years I did it and with me there were a whole lot of Indian activists who were supporting me. Why? It was like to use, now we have the Hindu Rajapriestate for what India has done maybe or maybe to show solidarity that I am not for this Armed Forces Special Powers Act. They are Indians who don't like it. In the same way I think I have the right to say this that Manipuri metes must intellectual, must speak out. Are you suggesting that they haven't spoken out or not enough? They have not spoken out in the way that they should in bits and pieces like some come and say yes yes this rape is wrong but have they been able to make a consistent statement that this community with this party with these two militia what is happening? So they must make a statement and why is this Tamta singing these songs? So yes he loves Manipur, I understand that. I love India too. But this is not a way of showing my love of making sure that the other community is obliterated and there won't be and it may be a stereotype saying it but Nagas, metes and cookies are extremely brave and they are armed people they have no hesitation in using arms, they have a long history they are not going to back off so they are not going to be silenced and the government of India has not been able to put down all these insurgencies. So therefore there is a need for someone to take a stand and it has to be the majority community if they want Manipur then they have to take the stand if they don't take the stand it won't happen. So that is what I feel. How hopeful are you of you know the discussion on the resignation of the Chief Minister Biriyan Singh has been on? How hopeful are you of that particular demand? It seems to be a sticking point especially for the cookies but how hopeful are you that the government will listen? No this government doesn't seem to be listening to most people's demands in India so that but maybe it should because this Manipur is a border state it has international implications so if for nothing else for the sake of India I think they should and the point is that this has many implications it's already got implications for Mizoram already there's an influx already MNF not Mizoram government but MNF has said they will support the cookie demand There is a very serious resistance going on across the border in Myanmar and people are coming in Now you've watched this politics for a long long time many decades is there any logic you've seen behind it why keep silent on something like this? No I said in the first interview and I'm saying it now that the logic is identity politics and it's identity politics backed by guns there is no one who can have a model authority to talk about Manipur it wasn't like that I don't know how it but I do know a little bit but at the time of Indian independence when Manipur state joined the Indian Union they have been Muslim chief ministers they have been Nagar chief ministers there was a possibility of a Manipur which celebrates its diversity but that possibility died out very soon it was all identity politics and this identity politics was fed in by the insurgents because although some of them have names like the communist party NSEN has socialist there is no communist or socialist agenda there is no social economic program it's just identity based on religion and race Can I draw your attention to one last aspect which you had hinted in passing in the previous time that the mette community might be the dominant community it might be the aggressor in many of the cases since 3rd May but when identity politics takes a hold you victimize one community but sooner or later the sort of purest notion of religion etc promoted by organizations like mette-lipon and arambay it will come back to haunt the mette community itself would that be yes of course because now all these if you look at them all these are insurgent groups they're based on a kind of religious nationalism if you see the Nagas they talk about Nagaland for Christ the cookies have not I don't know their history as well but it is a religious nationalism and the mettes is again they may not they just took for granted their Sanamahi but Sanamahi also is a religion and as a revivalist trend revivalist puritanical fundament all this comes together and the other side is that culture that culture the history the all that has over the years really there is no culture which unites all these communities anymore except the language perhaps they are now developing their own identities their own resources their own grievances and they're not going to talk to there is no there are no traditions by which they talk to each other for instance as I don't know whether I said it in to you too but like I belong to old area belong to UP which is that a word which is the Ganga Jamuna culture in a real sense of the term there is no such thing they don't have such things so there is no such cultural traditions or historical traditions historically also they don't have a way of talking to each other so it's a big challenge for all those who want a Manipur United Manipur and I don't think it's happening one thing everybody has is the self-preservation instinct regardless of yeah community and it is true that the cookies are under enormous pressure both by all this that is happening by the way they have been attacked the way they have been thrown out of the valley the way their houses and means of living have been destroyed and plus they do have a loyalty to the chins in Burma who are coming and they are facing huge atrocities so that solidarity with their people I would just like to say to the cookies that I understand that solidarity I myself have been doing cases for the chins but under these circumstances not only the violence I'm saying because of our world in which international borders are made by colonial and imperial powers that solidarity should be there India should accept the refugees but these refugees must be registered as refugees if a politics is played by which the refugees try and take Naga and Maitreya lands then that is a problem and it's a big problem but they will take it if they are not given the registration they are not recognisers refugees they are arrested and they are told that they can't have an adharka they can't live how are they going to live and the cookie sense of loyalty and unity among themselves and their solidarity for each other is very strong and for instance the two women who were parade naked are from the Wi-Fi community so that's a distinct community but they don't they don't emphasize these differences within themselves they are very strong united and that's why they're very effective and Mizoram also is showing that solidarity and they're saying they will protect you know their cousins or their people the community on the other side of the border and we must understand that and till very till two years ago the Maitreya's were also supporting the Burmese over the Nagas something happened in between and that something was that's the pressure on the state government and the state government is not just a state government the the Mr. Biren Singh is BJP who which is in power at the center so in the name of it because I am talking and Manipur this situation really requires us to be extremely honest and to be able to analyze what is happening without all these vested interests and also to for the only maybe the good thing is that first time people are learning the complexity of Manipur otherwise they dismissed it right right how much important should this video be given in the media space in the national debates in this debate you suggest in parliament so the the example of these two women being paraded naked is an example of the extent of brutalization and dehumanization of the Maitreya society it's also an example of how patriarchy works in a war situation and it's it's a symptom and it's a very serious symptom but we those women will not get justice in this system and those police why is everyone asking only for those men who were you know around why it's not on the police who were there that's much more serious crime and who burnt the village who murdered the brother and who murdered the husband and what kind of justice will these people get they won't get and the others who are invisible because the media has not seen them and the country has not spoken out about them right thanks very much for joining us and that's all we have for you today thanks very much for tuning in and we'll be bringing you more reports about the crisis in Manipur as the situation develops thanks very much for watching again


out.  In reality, disorders are not as rare as we think. According to psychology today, psychological disorder is a psychological dysfunction in an individual that is associated with distress or impairment and a reaction that is not culturally suspected. They also stated that one in four U.S. adults are diagnosable with a psychological disorder. There are many psychological disorders, but many of them are rare. In today's video, I will share 10 of the rare ones I'm sure you didn't know. If you're new here, hit the subscribe button for more awesome videos such as this one. 1. Cortart syndrome. Cortart's delusion, also known as walk-in core syndrome or Cortart syndrome, is a rare mentalist order in which the affected person holds the delusional belief that they are dead. Do not exist. Cortart's syndrome is extremely rare. According to WebMD, Cortart's syndrome is rare, with about 200 known cases worldwide. People who have this disorder usually display extreme symptoms. However, the good news is that it can be treated. Some of them hear voices telling them they are dead. They may starve because they think it's pointless to eat when one is dead. It is actually a rather bizarre type of disorder. It is not something you want to witness. The syndrome occurs as a result of dementia, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and stroke. 2. Fragoli delusion syndrome. The Fragoli delusion syndrome is a type of delusional misidentification syndrome, DMS. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, Fragoli syndrome is a disorder in which a person holds a delusional belief that different people are, in fact, a single person who changes his or her appearances or is in disguise. The challenge with this syndrome is that it doesn't have any non-effective treatment yet. Some people who have this syndrome can stalk innocent people because they think they are other people. It can be worse if they are romantically involved with the person who the innocent party looks like. They may try to initiate conversations in that line and it will not go well. Some of them are actually hospitalized for being a threat to others in society. No known thing can make the person who has this syndrome to stop having it. The assumptions that someone looks like another can stay there for years. Such people usually end up in the mental ward. This patient's problems concern everyone because of their extensive and continual involvement with the hospital's and mental health system. Day two deserves some peace. Three, the cannibal disease. This is another psychological disorder. This type of disorder makes people behave like cannibals. According to the National Library of Medicine, in ancient times cannibalism was deemed acceptable for reasons of survival when faced with the extreme need for religious or magic reasons. In today's society, this cases are extremely rare and are generally associated with severe mental illness. Mental illness of different manifestations. Cannibalism is one of them. People who have a rare form of schizophrenia. Generally, people with schizophrenia, their ability to think, feel and behave clearly are all affected. Sometimes it may result in odd symptoms such as cannibalism. It is actually pretty serious and anyone that displays such symptoms can be a danger to others. Ensure to inform the authorities promptly. Four, a bulimania or pathological in the session. This is a rather odd syndrome to have. People with this disorder will wonder at what to do for far longer periods than normal people. Have you ever, for example, gone to work without pants because you're worried about which of the pants to wear? According to exploring your mind, being indecisive when having to choose something is normal. However, when it starts affecting your daily life, it can become problematic. A bulimania is a mental illness, not just a self-esteem or insecurity issue. It makes it impossible for you to live your life as it keeps you from making decisions. You may no longer feel capable of choosing, up to the point where choosing what to have for dessert feels like an impossible feat. This pathological level of indecision then messes with all of your relationships. Imagine not knowing whether or not to go for work or even to eat. Research has not been conclusive on what causes this disorder. However, some research shows that a possible cause for our bulimania might lie in the brain's prefrontal cortex and in how one is raised. It is strongly advised that as a parent, you should believe in your children. 5. Stendyl syndrome. Stendyl syndrome is a condition characterized by the confluence of different symptoms, both physical and mental, when in the presence of a beautiful piece of art. Odd, right? You're not alone. Some people are just amazed beyond normal when they look upon art that is literally life-changing. Some artworks that have elicited the type of behavior from people include an Italian artist, Michelangelo's David Sculpture in Florence. Some people who have seen it have been known to exhibit some symptoms not consistent with just amazement and appreciation. The renowned French writer, Marie-Henry Bell, better known as Stendyl, described an experience in Florence that embodied the symptoms that this disorder later came to be associated with. As I emerged from the center curves, I had palpitations or the call an attack of nerves in Berlin. The life went out of me and I walked in fear of falling. This disorder is characterized by anxiety and a fair amount of stress. You, of course, can't be told not to look upon great art simply because they make you seek. You should at least get some rest every day and breathe. 6. Necrophilia. Necrophilia is a pathological fascination with dead bodies which often takes the form of a desire to engage with them in sexual activities such as intercourse. Sounds disgusting, right? You would be surprised what some people are doing right now. It is also pretty rare. According to scientists direct, although the media may give the illusion of a more common prevalence of violent and unusual crimes, necrophilia is even rarer than sexual homicide. This may be because it is a disorder whose symptoms are carried out in secrecy. It is, however, usually associated with sexual homicide.  It is actually a very bizarre way of life. How it is caused just like a bulimania syndrome is not clear. However, it has been shown that heavy intake of alcohol can reduce behaviors quite similar to this. It would appear that even if a person had the tendency, they wouldn't even know, to avoid it completely. One has to abstain from drinking alcohol often and deal with any resentment one may have with their parents to not have underlying psychological challenges to be exploited by circumstance. 7. Exploding Head Syndrome. How exactly does one's head explode? Exploding head syndrome is a parasomnia. A parasomnia involves undesired events that come along with sleep.  Do you ever feel this before you sleep? If your answer is no, thank God, such things can actually be a bother. A flash of light can come along with sound. The exploding head syndrome may occur when you are tired and under a lot of stress. It is so rare that some people have just won such a event in a lifetime. According to medical news today, here are some symptoms of exploding head syndrome, headache, sweating, fearfulness, agitation and anxiety, difficulty of falling asleep or staying asleep, daytime fatigue, and mild memory impairment. According to WebMD, experts don't know how many people have exploding head syndrome. Women are more likely to have it than men. People older than 50 are more likely to have it. In the end, you never really know whether you have it or not, but if you do notice the symptom, notify your doctor promptly. 8. Brain Facts Syndrome. Brain Facts Syndrome is a form of psychological distress first identified in Nigerian students in the 1960s, but reported more generally in the African diaspora. It is a brain-related disorder that can cause you to avoid intellectually engaging activities. It consists of a variety of cognitive disturbances such as concentration difficulties and poor retention of study material and sensory disturbances such as heat sensations or dimming of vision, all of which occur during periods of intense intellectual activity. This is actually bad news. It is almost as though the disorder makes you unable to learn. 9. Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, AIWS, describes a set of symptoms with alteration of body image and alteration of visual perception is found in a way that the size of the body parts or sizes of external objects are perceived incorrectly. The most common perceptions are at night. It is quite similar to Alice's experience in Wonderland. Little wonder it is called the Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. Its causes include migraine, psychoactive drugs, and temporal lobe epilepsy. It can be treated with migraine prophylaxis and migraine diet. The patient getting enough rest can actually lead to less manifestation of the symptoms. 10. Liogenous Syndrome. According to Healthline, Liogenous Syndrome is a behavioral disorder that affects older adults. It occurs in both men and women. The main symptoms are excessive hoarding dirty homes, and poor personal hygiene. People who have this disorder may withdraw from society. It is something that can be easily shaken off. They often leave alone and are unaware that anything is wrong with the condition of their home and lack of self-care. Illness associated with this disorder includes schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, OCD, depression, dementia, and addiction, especially to alcohol.


Baw, what's up everybody? It's Brandon Shawn and today I'm going to show you exactly how to use social media for yourself, a custom process where you'll be able to choose and know exactly how it applies for you as an artist. Now, before that, you have to understand two things. One, the marketing funnel. Number two, you need to understand the difference between brand and music-based social media purposes. First, let's start with this marketing funnel real quick just in case is a little refresher. You have awareness, interest, consider, and intent. Now it goes down deeper than this but when it comes to social media platforms you don't really need to worry about too much more so let's focus on what's important. Now, awareness, what does that mean? That's the mass awareness where most people will experience your brand. Interested is, man, I saw something from you then I said, hmm, okay, I'm open to seeing a little bit more. Consider is, man, I think I like it. I think I like it. And then intent in this context is they're intentionally engaging with you, right? Becoming a part of your tribe. When we talk about those two routes for using social media for your brand, you have brand personality based, then you also have music based. And when you look at it, this is the bad thing that most artists do, especially when you're on the come up. This is especially what we're talking about growth. They say, awareness, I want to get seen. Let me get on YouTube, TikTok, IG, Twitter, whatever. Theoretically, that's nice, right? Let's blow up on everything or let's work on everything until something really starts to pop off. But when you really understand yourself, it'll allow you to use this a lot quicker and consolidate your energy into the right places. So when we're talking about a brand, a lot of people are looking at IG. Traditionally, IG, TikTok, those are two good places for that. YouTube could be a good place for that, but really that's not where it's falling into reality. YouTube is usually going to fall somewhere like interest consideration. It just takes a little bit more for people to experience you before they really start to follow you on YouTube. That's how people who are looking from a brand, right? And more personality based, they look at Instagram heavily, especially to your business. TikTok is just hot right now. We know what it does, but let's just call it a newer age, hotter Instagram. That's pretty much what we're seeing from it. And then they're pushing people into their music. That is a path to get down. It could be a lot of work, but it works very well for a lot of people. We do know people who have had personalities and got attention to their music, right? But you have to have a big ability to do this. Let's just lead with music at the top. Brand was the packaging, whether that's my personality or just taking really good pictures or fashion, all these other things that can open up to almost anything, right? Great interviewer. But when we're talking about music, it has to be through your music. Somebody might experience you on the awareness level through radio. A friend might share the music, something like that. But when we look at social media platforms, TikTok almost always is going to be number one when it comes to music. YouTube falls here. DSPs fall here. DSPs that spotify Apple music for those of y'all who don't know, right? Digital streaming platforms, but both of those can fall into the interest and consideration category. Instagram at that point is down here. There's so many of y'all who are putting Instagram, a lot of energy into Instagram, but you shouldn't be. You shouldn't be doing a music based strategy. And we'll talk about that when you see the clip in a second of me having a conversation with the artist. And we have a video on the channel that you can check out where we're actually going through those. Now let's go into how do you choose and how do you think about it in terms of customizing these processes for yourself? How do you know what you're out to go? Music based, brand based, trust me, it'll save you a lot of energy, time, maybe even some embarrassment. So check it out. The reprogramming video that you dropped on YouTube. One of them you're talking about how if social media is not your name, then you shouldn't really put too much attention on it. Can you like expound on that a little bit more? Yeah. So if social media is not your thing, like if you suck at social media, and you have good music, so most of your fans are more music focused anyway, but then you need to be putting more time and strategy into getting your music heard. One of the primary functions of, hey, let's do this social media thing is to get attention. But if your music is better at getting attention for you, then your social media posts, they need to be focused on getting that music seen, getting that music heard. So then they flip back. That's the music videos, that's the Spotify, things of that nature. Ads. And then from there, you now look at social media as a great way to catalog and keep people up to date with your brand or familiar with it, you know, document it something, but that doesn't mean you look at it at a strategy for growth. Doesn't mean not to use social media at all is, hey, this is not my growth strategy. So now I need to focus all my energy on growth where that's going to come from. And this is more of a document less effort, but something that still needs to be managed. All right. So that there was exactly why you should be rethinking your approach to social media as an artist and how do you customize yourself to fit into that process? And again, we have a video on the channel where we're breaking down how you think about each platform at that level. So make sure you check out that video in the description below. And also the artist that I was talking to in that conversation, he referenced a series that I did called the reprogramming series. It'll completely change how you approach your whole career as an artist, especially when you are looking to grow. Every artist needs to see that series if they're looking to grow. Period. So make sure you check that out as well. And if you're interested in seeing more videos like these, we have more of them coming. I'm telling you a lot more. So make sure you subscribe to the channel. But not only that, hit that notification bell, join a notification gang, because if you don't do that, YouTube's not going to show them to you, particularly when they first drop. And then, you know, it'll be six months later and you'll be like, where was this video where I needed it? Well, it was there. You just didn't know about it. So make sure you hit that notification bell, join the gang. Other than that, have a good one. See you soon.


So we're here at the SID display. We're here with new vision and hello, so who are you? Hello, my name is my name is Xu Miao and my name is Lei Wang and what is new vision? New vision is a startup company from China. And what do you do with this? This is a what is this flexible amulet? This is the flexible amulet. We use all set of TFT as the back plane. So this is very different. You work on this? Yes. What do you do here? Here. So you can see we can treatable and foldable the display. What is the back plane? This is the PI substrate and Oxide TFT with the back plane. Oxide TFT back plane? Yeah, Metal Oxide TFT. And that means you can do stuff like this? This is the high PPI based on this technology we can realize 400 PPI and in the future we can realize 100,000 PPI. 1000 PPI? Yeah. That's very very high. That's 8K. 8K smart phone? Yeah. 8K tablet? Yeah. This is used in the wearable display and this is the smartphone. So how do you make the amulet? Is it a print? How do you make it? This is evaporation. Actually we also have the printing technology. Printed AMRAD and printed QLED. So printed? Yeah. And this one is conformed? This one is static. Static, yeah? Yeah. What is this one? This one with the touch. Is this a sample? Yeah, this is a sample. This is the display. This is the touch. You move it around? No. And what do you do here? This is the touch panel. But this is not the new version. Is this your partner? Yeah. They focus on the silver nanometer. Silver nanowire? Yeah, yeah. So what's next? What are you going to do in the future? You're based in Guangzhou? Yes. And what do you will do in the future? What will you do with this? Umir here, yes. This will go in the smartphone? Yes. How soon? Maybe in one and a half year later.  Flexible? Yeah. Smartphone? Yes. Flexible PCB? Yes. Battery? Yeah. Display? Yeah. So in China there are so many companies. They want to realize flexible RAD and flexible PCB, flexible such things. And then we can make flexible display and flexible equipment. So this seems already high quality this, right? But what's the resolution? 200 by 600. 200 by 600. Yes. So the next one will be HD? Yeah. Yeah. And do you partner with companies to make this happen? We do it by ourselves. Everything? Everything, yeah. So what is the material in OLED? The material already is a small molecule now. For this demo, small molecule. Do you already have the printer ready? Yes. It's ready to do? Yeah. Is it going to be cheap or not? In short time it's difficult. We are studying for the OLED printer and the TFT printer. So maybe in short time it may be more expensive. But if we can get some more support to other materials, companies or technology companies, maybe it can cost a decrease greatly. So two years later you can buy the phone with this, right? Yeah. And you will sell millions and millions maybe, right? So two years later we will be there. The big booths over there. Which one do you want? The Samsung booth or the LG booth? So here is IZO and maybe two years later we will be there. What do you think about the SID display week? I think it's excellent. Good. Great? Yeah. I attend SID for more than eight years. Every year I will. What do you think? Yeah, very great. Everybody here to talk about technology. And displays? Yes, yes.


Yeah, I just felt like I took a good swing on the fastball the first pitch without having seen him previously So and then he threw me his cutter, which I feel like I took really well.  What does it say about this team? It says a lot. I mean, I just think it says a lot about what our clubhouse is about and guys coming in and feeling right away that they're They're part of this. I mean, there's there's a lot of big names in this clubhouse and you would never know inside it's just everyone is treated very You know equally on the same level here whether you have a Couple days in the big leagues or in 12, 13, 15 years. So We just keep it loose And our coaching staff does a really good job at Keeping us prepared and keeping us ready Judge has been up here and standing in other previous days and said kind of a theme is that you guys are never Satisfied no matter how big the league gets in the division about how many games in a row you win Do you guys just kind of treat every day? It was kind of like a new a new chance to win I mean you guys don't really have bad bad days. I think it's just You know, you have a lot of established guys on this team that know how to get ready and prepare every single day. So Yeah, it's a byproduct of our wins the preparation that everyone puts in individually and then Collectively before the game, you just see everyone starting to come together and gravitate together and And when we take the field, it's it's just it's game time and we know every day we have a pitcher that's gonna you know go out there and compete in a bullpen that's gonna Compete as well and our defense is From my two months here last year to now It's just the night and day difference and that's really what's gonna win you a lot of baseball games


Thank you and my favorite mode of being is what I want to call myself as excitement junkie and I really really get very inspired when to work with the clients, the kind of clients I work with and the free and open software clients who Evan described usually are very very similar to how startups are it's one person or two people or three people assign themselves some problem and then they go about solving that and then they discover oh there's some legal issues and we have no money or the patients for all the legalies and it's gonna come with a bin and why are we going to waste our time doing that because we would like to solve a problem and thereafter once we've solved the problem go about raising money either getting rich or just releasing the software and providing services or going about solving another problem and that's where I come into being and to do their work the difference between a free and open source software project and how they view some of the legal issues and how our company's views is pretty stark but what helps is seeing both sides of the coin in the morning it can it's possible that I'm talking to a client of ours whose software is being used by a global corporation and in the evening speaking to them about how they view that side of the issue they're very generous here because the startups or the free software clients cannot afford very expensive we get paid by others to do their work so we get a lot of experience doing different things it's the trademarks it's the copyright it's the patent strategy or it's writing the privacy policy of somebody who is doing a social network or it is writing about content usage policy what are they going to do with your data what are they going to how are they going to use it and considering how now each project or each startup no matter where their head bordered but the goal is always the world so the strategies are different whether it's a patent strategy which may be a different strategy in India than what you want to follow in the United States or in Europe European Union or Japan or it's a trademark strategy not just the law differs but it also about is the business so that's one aspect of what we do trademarks copyright patterns as I said the usual things about incorporation sometimes you want to be a company somewhere sometimes you want to be a nonprofit at times you want to be a mix of two and then there's the other part which is when you want someone else to acquire you or you want to raise more money to become much bigger and the idea is to present a much bigger larger picture and bring to you a different perspective how does the guy on the other side of the table what are they thinking about your business what is their plan about you what are they going to actually expect and who from you wants to give you the money when the sharks in the shark tank are evaluating your proposals what is it that they're going to tell you is going to change later on by the person who sits on your board that kind of a larger picture is something which we just draw because of the experience the only difference which I feel sometimes is that we're not always we try to be councils because that's about advising you what your strategy is that's why it's not about record and bills it's not about doing it on an hourly basis to say yeah I'll solve a little bit of your problem but I will wait for when you run into a different kind of an issue related to the same problem if I write that somebody's or if I decide about how they're going to go about licensing and brand management I want to go and do it in one go and think about everything they might run into for the next three years four years five years so our practice brings together that kind of experience yes we work in the US and we work here that's where most of the lawyers who work in our offices are licensed to but then we work with many other people mostly because we open source software at least the licenses are similar copyright law may change but the basic principles stay the same and just describing those are helping people understand those is what forms a big part of our job there the other things which we do here is because we have a firm belief that free and open source software is cheap raw materials for all startups we're highly efficient superbly easily available and accessible very efficient high quality raw materials available for everybody to use and it's only going to increase if you skip contributing back to the phone and we do think that the free internet freedom movement is going to be fueled by the open source software that's why the little description in my profile was about an online civil liberties activists that's mostly to do because those all the issues actually make a business environment which is conducive to how you want to do you just want to solve problems everybody believes in this city or in the valley that was in all those problems can be solved by technology but maybe not some of them definitely can be and for our job is just to be facilitators so that you can go about doing your business and inventing our job is not that we're always an ending cell and we don't think that our role is to tell you about what you should be doing but just to show you the bigger picture and tell you where the pitfalls are so that problems don't come knocking so that you can manage your risks and to make that possible for you that's where we stand and on the activism side it's it's different issues it's I didn't get into activism just because it's some client who has a problem who's getting too many notices from a police guy and trying to tell him to just destroy his business or it does not know how information technology act in India works and comes to us and then we think of a bigger strategy and then we go up to the springboard to solve that problem and just because that has very far-reaching consequences for how free speech and expression is viewed and various other businesses that was just collateral benefit for everyone then there is network neutrality issues right to privacy issues because how you are going to build your business based on policies is going to be determined by the law of the country or what is the policy adopted by the executive or other firms other organs of the government so that's another part of our work so there is of course a lot of excitement in my work and that's why I do it but I and that's what I learned because I think you should have a conversation more than just listening to me so thank you


This is here a clearing on the banks of the Hispani River. It's the major tributary of the Jordan River and it's its source where it rises in the hermone. And this is just a little, I'll just head of clearing here, we're just on our way back to Jerusalem. We're starting our journey back from the Villa Vitrage, which is a accommodation we stayed in here. It's a pretty nice place I must say and there's actually a couple of people bathing in the river. I'm going to go and dip my feet in here. We get down a little bit further on the bank and you can see a better view of where this is going towards. A bit of steam there, tiny, tiny rapids I guess is too much to call it. Little kind of park here, a couple of people picnicking. And quite a bit of space here. I'm not sure what these big bags are for I guess, they're great to collect foliage. There's a nice little walkable park up here in this direction as well so you can go and check it out. This was also known historically as the Upper Jordan and now in the water. It's pretty, it's pretty cold. I'm not sure it's deep enough to actually swim here, it's probably not allowed. But it's actually the first time I've been wading through a river in Israel. And this is, I'm crossing the river, let's see, west to east. So there's quite a lot of stuff to see in this part of Israel, natural sites, natural attractions. And these trees extend quite far up into the sky and that's looking up the river there. So this is experiencing a river here in Israel, I really doubt this is navigable. This is probably like 6 inches of water, this is maybe a couple of feet of water here. But I may, I may stand correct, I may stand corrected later.


Give me a little card. Right as in him. For me, close. This is acid because we are Bollywood bootlickers. We like to be just like them and do a lot of drugs. Yep, acid in the form of, it looks like clothes. It's really LSD. Bollywood influence. I just don't have that. And that's Bollywood style. Today we got a Lou Arjun. Why did I say Lou Arjun? Arjun Singh is what I'm talking about. Not even remotely close to the same person. Arjun Singh. Unplugged. I don't know how I said Lou Arjun. That's why I'm like, oh Arjun. Very different. Very different. This is, say this, Bikali. You know that song. It's actually from Kabir Singh. I used to like this song. But this is a unplugged he did in his house just this past year. And he is obviously phenomenalist. I did hear that he's going on a world tour. I did hear that. I believe it involves the United States, which probably will involve Los Angeles. Did I see a date for his thing yet? I think it's summer. Anyway, if he's in California, we're going to go. Hopefully we'd get to talk to him. Yeah, that'd be awesome. Who knows? I heard he's a shy guy. Like he doesn't like to do a lot of anything. That's all right. So is Nawaz. I mean, or Khan as well. Yeah, Nawaz supposedly was like not, you know. And we did drugs with him. Yeah. Oh, we weren't supposed to talk about that. Shit. Damn it. Hello. So we are here. Hi. I hope you guys are coming. So this is where we... Did a metronome. Yes, metronome. Pray and hope that we get what we want for everybody in this situation. Hoping for the best. And I prepared a decent kind of setup. I won't be able to give you much right now. But this is what I have now. So I have a laptop. I have one sound card to pair with one pair of speakers. And a piano. Luckily. I have some guitar. Some percussion over there. So good that he was able to get all this. This mic and this guitar. Must have been hard for Arjun saying. Some little things. All of this together. Let's start this venture today. I hope you enjoyed. Can you keep tempo? I'm not plugged. I'm not complaining. I'm just saying. Gotcha. I want to see his hands. This was all done for a Facebook live. Because I think it was back in June when I think they were hit with the really bad. The second wave that obviously destroyed India at the time. So I think this was like a charity to raise money. And that's not easy. Obviously it does sound mastered. Somebody mastered the entire thing. Probably. I mean it was live. So it went through. It was just a simple thing. It was just his guitar and his vocal. He could have just patched that straight into the live. And it didn't necessarily have to have been altered. His voice is smooth like butter. His wonderful voice. Always consistently really pretty. So soothing. Just similar to like John Legend or Ed Sheeran. What's that other guy's? Logan. Something like that. Logan Paul, great singer. Yeah. Fantastic. He's known for his singing. He's known for it. Yes that. No. I don't know. Logan. I don't know.  He has a fantastic voice. Just like Alu Arjun. Arjun to say. Alu Arjun might have a great voice. I don't know. But it's probably not as good as Arjun to say. So I do apologize. Could be worse. You could have been introducing him at his live show. Let's give it up for him. COVID doesn't derail his... I don't think it will. US tour.  I know numbers are doing there. They were doing here. And they're still doing here in LA. I mean we went from about three weeks ago. We were doing between 2,000 and 3,000 a day to almost 50,000 a day. And it's happening everywhere. But the nice thing that the trend from South Africa was instead of it being a wave. It looks like it's going to be a spike. It's this and that. I'm believing and we'll have no other variants, please. I think this particular spike worldwide globally. I think we should start seeing decreases by Valentine's Day. I just... I think we're going to be in this for the next 10 years. COVID's not going anywhere. COVID isn't going to go anywhere. But I mean this particular Omicron variant. But yeah, I think we're going to have to get used to the fact that we have influenza season. We're going to have COVID. It's just going to be a normal season. Yeah, it's just... Oh, you got COVID? Yeah. But thankfully, hopefully, we won't ever see anything as bad as it was first two waves because that was horrific. Yeah, he's fantastic though. So let us know other... And if any of you guys know him or know his people, please get him in contact with us.  I don't even know him or... Oh, I do have a lozenge here. Arjun, Arjun. Sing. Many, many confusions for Arjun. It's very funny because it's... Different. It's different. Yeah. Happens. Well, thanks, Lou Arjun. You have a beautiful voice. You sound just like Arjun Sing. Josh!
