Live from San Jose, California in the heart of Silicon Valley, it's theCUBE. Covering Hadoop Summit 2016, brought to you by Hortonworks. Here's your host, George Gilbert. Welcome back, this is George Gilbert. We're at Hadoop Summit 2016. We're in the San Jose Convention Center and we have with us Mark Herring, VP Developer Evangelism at Hortonworks. Welcome, Mark. Thank you so much, George. So, we were talking a few minutes before we got going. Hadoop is an ecosystem has been showing incredible innovation and expansion. But the downside is that can make it hard to target for a developer. What can I choose as a developer that I can assume everyone would have? How has that answer evolved over the last year? So, I think what we've seen, just like we saw in the open source realm on the platform side, the whole migration open source was to allow innovation to happen everywhere, not just in one place. And we've tried to do the same thing now in Hortonworks on the community side or on the developer side going. So, Mr. Developer, where are you? So, we've created this thing called community.hortonworks.com. Set up great technical articles, Q&A type things to allow this evolved platform to go and ask questions like, so I'm new and I'm trying to do an analytic workload, what should I use? And you might then try and solve that at the spark level and down at the, that's in Bolton and there's sort of articles and Q&A down there. Or you might be starting more at the Zephyr notebook level. Depends where you're coming in from it. And so our view of the world is start wherever you want to and ask the community for help, right? So, it's sort of this more of a collaborative way than Hortonworks says this is the way to do it or not that this is the way to do it. So, we're trying to embrace that whole community style to our developers and to developers at large to go and say, this is how you embrace the whole ecosystem. So, it sounds almost like you want to help the community be self-organizing around different solution platforms. Yeah, the platforms just maybe too stronger would maybe solution areas. So, like data science and analytics would be a good area. It's not initially there's a data science and analytics platform, but that's sort of a particular audience type or set of developers or data science that will go and live there. Just like there's, we have sort of another area. We call them tracks in the platform or inside the community. And you might have something there around data ingestion and streaming. Now, inside of there, you might be using different technologies or not worry, you don't even know which technology to start with, but you start there going, hey, I've got the streaming problem. How do I go from solve the streaming problem? And the answer might be, hey, use NIFI. It might be to use a different technology, but you really, you know, we're involved in the community connection. Obviously, our developers are on there, our SEs are on there, but it's the broader community that's really then answering those questions. And because we think very much like open source did to the platform, almost democratizing the platform, we want to democratize some of that knowledge you as developers choose. So, okay, we're taking a developer perspective, but the developer is also the one who translate that translate the infrastructure value into business value. So what are the early applications? We asked her, can you assist? But I'd like to get your opinion since you're working with the developers every day, like ETL offload from the data warehouse was sort of the first universal application. What are some of the most popular ones you're seeing now? There's still a lot of ETL offload, right?  Let me get the data in there and I'll analyze it. But we're seeing a lot more of, you know, how do I bring in data in motion into data rest? I'm not necessarily just ETL from sort of my relational database system, but you know, how do I start capturing all this signal out there and putting it into place so I can then look for the noise or look through the noise and find the signal. But as I said, the most common thing now that we're seeing a lot of sort of questions on is how do I find those signals, right? So whether it's using, you know, a SQL way of looking it up or sort of looking at how it translates to get that information. I sort of see that's where I see a lot of my developers or developers in the community asking a lot of questions is how am I going to get that to find that stuff? So we've done, we're at the phase of, I've captured all this stuff now, but now how do I go and look for that stuff inside of there? So would it be fair to say that this community helps developers, corporate developers, to pick the right set of building blocks to solve problems? But commercial developers need assumptions about a volume sort of, maybe platform, that's the wrong word, but a volume collection of services that are in common. So does this Hortonworks community help the corporate developer, the commercial developer or both? Both, right? I think that, you know, the whole thing is we have all different types sitting out there, right? So we have the, you know, deep data scientists that's publishing different Zeppelin notebooks up, you know, on the community going, here's my notebook as I've done it.  And we have a great set of articles that are also defining what these look like. I think you can engage at this at any area you like and if there's not, if someone hasn't answered your question there or you haven't, you don't see an answer, ask your own question, how do I do this? You know, having said that, we do see people starting a lot in sort of the Hortonworks sandbox, right? So that's a, you know, collection stuff always starting with, you know, basically the NIFI experience, which has got a set of preset services. We've got, let me go and start with that. But what I find with a lot of developers, you know, they have a particular problem in mind and they're trying to look through the different solutions, you know, with help to try and give back to the business they're going to say, okay, I've found the technology that's going to go and solve this problem as to business. And then once they've gone through that, then it's maybe the, you know, when operations play and we see a lot of sort of, you know, DevOps people that they're going, how do I, how do I, well, you know, how do I worry about scale? What do, you know, how do I sort of understand replication? How do I understand this whole hybrid cloud thing? What should run here and yet? And you know, it's again, they're asking the questions of the community. We're part of the community. We have ideas on that. But I think the whole theme from us, and you know, it's very much like, why do we embrace open sources? You know, this knowledge base is infinite if we appeal to the community. And so yes, although we're part of it, we're not trying to be prescriptively part of it. Okay, interesting. So someone who's taking the first steps towards IoT applications might say, okay, I have an ingest need data in motion. I might start with Kafka, but that might really just be useful for data coming in, you know, from a single site. Or I might have NIFI, which is sort of Kafka grown up for the whole world. And then I might feed Spark. Exactly. But in that case, these aren't really project, I was going to say, these aren't projects that are mentored in a sense by Hortonworks, but they are in the case of NIFI. So it doesn't really matter. You're not trying to be prescriptive with Hortonworks projects. Absolutely not. Do you want to support whatever combination of services? We wouldn't allow for that conversation to happen, right? So if someone's using Kafka and then going, what's the best way of doing it? And, you know, we might have one of our engineers or an engineer in the community going, you know, hey, this is the way that I've done my Kafka implementation. You know, for instance, on the community, we have users from Cloudera, from MapR, asking questions out there as well. Why? Because it's the wealth of information. I think we've got to get rid of these whole silos going, this is the Hortonworks domain, right? And so we spend a lot of time within this community to go and say, how do we expand it to allow for the Kafka discussion to happen with the NIFI discussion because there's good and all of these things, right? And so, yes, from a, you know, when we get down to, hey, how do we want to implement it? And that type of thing, and I'll, as he's made a custom, you know, maybe they're looking at it and then you're paying for our expertise. That's not the goal of the community. The goal is, yes, expertise is there, but if, you know, obviously bringing up professional services, you know, we obviously will use more of our technologies, but that's not the community goal. Well, let me ask one last question before we wrap up. But as we move more to the cloud, or if customers are, they're not junking, obviously, what they've started on-prem, but maybe new workloads, and there's got to be some movement of data or some inter-operation of the applications. How does that developer evangelism discussion change in the cloud? In other words, are there services that, you know, whether storage or other elements that are going to be more appropriate for the cloud? Well, I think there's obviously the big challenge in the cloud, and you saw some of the keynote today, right, is, you know, you have different cloud providers and their goal as a cloud provider is to lock you into their particular cloud. I mean, it's a pretty simple concept, right? So I think, you know, what we've seen in a lot of discussions around, if I'm deploying for the cloud, what do I need to worry about if I'm deploying into AWS, you know, versus Azure, versus Google Cloud, what are the gotchas and how would I move these things together? So yes, there's different services that you might be thinking of. You know, a lot of developers I see out in our community are more looking just sort of at the base services, and you know, hey, you know, what am I going to use for, you know, HDFS in terms of the storage, or that, you know, that you do the storage side of the world, what am I going to use for data ingest? And there's a lot of concern and to be like, a debate, I would sort of say, maybe there's better than concern on, hey, if I'm going to go and be targeting this particular cloud instance, what do I need to worry about in case I ever want to move it? There's still that thought, those thoughts out there that, and there's healthy communication happening, I wouldn't say there's a definite answer. So it sounds like that age-old cross-platform tension between how do I take advantage of one platform uniquely versus how do I balance the mean for portability? Maybe part of that, that old age-old question is, just be aware of what you're doing. So you've made these choices, therefore you know you've done it, right? The last thing you want to do is go, I didn't know I made the choice. And so it's trying to give people the choice, and if they haven't thought about it, hopefully by posting a question on community.hortonworks.com, they have other people with a lot more knowledge, surface issue, have you thought about this? What about this? So there's again a lot of sort of good checklists, checklists for thinking about the cloud, checklists for doing data ingest, right? Checklists for, you know, and so again it's, I'd love to say well, the content comes from us, absolutely doesn't, right? I mean, it's a community effort. All right, with that we're going to have to take it and then leave off till part two at the next Hadoop Summit. All right, this is George Gilbert with Mark Herring, VP developer evangelism and community at Hortonworks, and we'll be back after this short break, thanks.


Who are you eating at Christmas? Who are you eating at Christmas time? Do you think that would offend people? I think it would. Excuse me mate, do you know where there's the koala? We put koalas, a bunch of koalas in the same position as the chickens right now. They're just strung up by their feet, electric bath, decapitated. What are you doing? Koalas put animals on this earth for us to eat. Except koalas. Alright, we're in Kit Street Mall here in Sydney. We've got animal rights legend Andy Faulkner here from savepoppy.com. We are about to ask people, would you eat a koala? Because everyone eats these animals here. We want to see if they would warm to the idea of eating a little fuzzy koala and ask them why not to open up the animal rights discussion. Let's go.  Christmas koala roast, if I made it for you. Fresh out the tree. Would you eat a koala mate? I'm toasted. So the taste is good? Yeah, toasted, munchies, something like that. No, not bad. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's not bad. Definitely not. Why not? Why not? Why not?  It's still treasure. What about kangaroos? You'd eat a kangaroo, but they're a national treasure. Australian icon animal. They eat kangaroos here? I don't. You don't? What about lamb?  That's a Welsh icon. What are you doing? We're in Australia. You're in Australia? It depends. Is it alive? No, it has to be killed in order to be eaten. Like how you would have a steak like lamb or like a lamb. Oh yeah, probably. So you would eat a koala? Yeah, probably. No moral issue with killing koalas? What about lambs? I feel like this is a truck. This is a lambs. Who do you eat at Christmas? Who do you eat at Christmas time? Who do you eat at Christmas with your family? What do you eat? Like a pig? Turkey and pig. Don't forget seafood. What's the moral difference? What's the moral difference? Koala and a turkey. Koalas were here first. That's not a good argument. I wouldn't do it for the morocato. What about the other animals like chickens? Yeah, I guess it's not. They're responsibly farmed. Responsibly? Okay, let me ask you this. If we responsibly farm koalas, that'd be alright then? Yeah, I guess so. Well, no. It's the same with chickens. It's not okay to eat chickens either then. I don't know. Or other animals. This is a pig. Killed in gas chambers. You know that, right? Let's see. Yeah. CO2 gas chambers where they struggle in the gas chamber. And cows are killed in a knockbox.  I did not know that. You didn't know that? I didn't know that. Well, you can watch a movie called Dominion and find out how the animals in the supermarket or in the butchers are, you know, exploited and killed. Yeah. But when you think of like a koala, or say like a dog or... Yeah. People eat kangaroos here. Yeah. But when you think of those animals, it kind of puts it in perspective. Yeah. I see you have a kangaroo here, but do you have any koalas? Meat? Can you order this or no? I don't think so. This is on your side. Okay. Okay, thank you. Do they have a kangaroo or koalas for meat? Maybe kangaroo. No, koalas meat. Do they got... You got to sell kangaroos or koala meats here in the torture section. We'll be on the other side next to the meat. Oh, thank you. Hey, brother. Do you know where there's kangaroo koalas meat in there? Never, never either. Is there any kangaroo koalas meat? Kangaroos. Kangaroo meat is over there. Kangaroo koalas. Hello. Okay, I'm just looking for... Can you get any koala meat? I looked in the butcher section. They can't order in. I looked. It's not there. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. It depends on the situation. All right, tell me. Survive the situation or eat one at any time of the day. Okay. But just to go and eat one, I wouldn't. Okay, why? Just... I don't look at koalas that way. I've grown up eating other animals. Like who? Like chickens, pigs, all that other stuff. Like cows. Yeah, yeah. If we see that as food, people have grown up generations killing those animals and eating them.  I would say no. Why? Why is that? What would be wrong with eating a koala? See, I get what you're saying because it's like the vegetarian argument.  Yeah, I don't know. I... Because you see them as, you know, very cuddly animals and, you know, we don't see that like pigs and cows the same way. Okay. So it's about how we view them. Yeah. You know, it gives them moral value. Yeah. I don't think it's right, but I think that's what happens. That's what happens. Yeah. But it's not a... Would you say, like, I might think he's cute and cuddly. I might think you're not so much. Or the other way around maybe. That's not a moral justify to like treat you unequally to... No, no, no, no. Look, I'd probably try it. What about a dog?   Why would you have a connection with a dog? Because I don't know, that's just humanity. Is there something about the dog that we should care about? Right. So if I booted a dog, who cares?  Like everyone would be like, oh, f**k, you know? If you asked a koala and to ask a chicken, if you could ask them, do either of you want to be killed and eaten? Yeah. What do you think the answer would be? I'd say no. Both of them? Yeah. Okay. Because like let's just say, like just finally, because I don't know what you're doing at Christmas time, but it's Christmas like happening right now. Yeah. And a lot of people sit down towards centerpiece, like a turkey. Yeah. Like I used to eat all types of animals. Yeah. If it was a koala in the center, do you think that would offend people? I think it would. So it's nothing about that animal that deserves moral consideration.  Who cares? Cut koala's heads off. Don't worry about it. Yeah. I'd be pretty hypocritical if I ate other animals and was asking people not to eat koalas. Oh, right. Look, I just, I'm open to trying it. I'm not a vegan. I was vegan. Too late, mate. Too late. Excuse me. Do you have a kangaroo or koalas here? What's a koala? Roast. Excuse me. Do you know where is koala? Koala meat? Koala meat. Excuse me, mate. Do you know where there's the koala or koala or kangaroo? Is kangaroo but knows no koalas? No? Why not? We've got crocodile, we've got kangaroo. We're looking for koala, but you won't sell it in Australia at all. No, all right. They're written. All right. Thank you. What do you think most people would think? What do you think I'm going to have? I think you're going to get the same answers of people being like, no, but then they're not going to be able to really justify why. There's a lot of houses with the pigs, maybe they don't think it's OK. We put koalas, a bunch of koalas in the same position as the chickens right now.  What can you do? Yeah, but if we put koalas in that position, would you have a moral issue with it? Yeah, I wouldn't care. You wouldn't care? But if we put people in that position, you would care. It was a different story. Why? Tell me. We can communicate for other humans. Some humans can't communicate though, yeah? You know what I mean? Little babies can't communicate. They grow up to learn. They do. OK, but what about people with a, they never can grow to, you know, they've got a disability, for example. Should we protect them, people? We protect them, we do. OK. And that's the story we do to protect them. So if it's not, it's not the fact that they can't communicate, that makes them, just, we see it as different, different perspectives. Humans, humans shouldn't eat each other. Maybe not yourself, but someone would have the consideration to the other animals. Otherwise, what would they be if they didn't? Yeah, that's why I'm saying I would be open to eat a koala because I'm already eating like a cow. You don't want to be, yeah, you want to be consistent. Yeah, yeah. But then you should also eat humans. Or like a dog. Yeah, I get your point. You should also eat humans if you want to be consistent. So it's not, you're not consistent. There's a certain point where you say, now that's wrong. Right. Yeah. Then it's humans and dogs for you. Fair enough.  No, not really because I'm not eating koala. That's koalas. You don't talk about other animals. No, but I'm saying for the same reason you wouldn't eat a koala. Shouldn't you also extend that to the other animals who feel the same pain they sent you in? Koalas put animals on the earth for us to eat them. Except koalas. I'll put it up.  Why not? Do you care about koalas? I do. And if someone killed them and ate them, would you care? Yeah, I would.  Who are you eating at Christmas? You're in Topher? Topherky. Topherky, you mean? Topherky. That's very convenient, actually.  I would, actually. You would, really? Yeah, I would. Beacon koala? No, full corn koala. It's a weird vegan that would eat a koala. How you going, mate? I'm good. Good to see you. Thank you for all your work. No, thank you. So just a couple of animals, just two or three. Not all of them. So not dogs. You see, all around the world, bro, you see, in the animals. It's interesting, because you know these animals aren't naturally occurring animals. They're human-selectively bred animals, so they're nothing to do with God. They're human-made animals. So humans put them there for you to... Hey, humans, I don't know what can we do about it, bro.  Stop paying for it. Once they get... Okay, that's not going to change anything. They're still going to get killed. Yeah, but people are still going to get killed.  It's still going to happen, but I don't do it because it's about your moral code. I don't know about veganism. There's no difference. Good talking to you, brother. Thank you. Maybe you should go vegan, mate. No way. No way, why not? How would you... How would you gain all that muscle?  But how long would it take? Same amount of time. No way. At a certain threshold, you get enough protein... Protein, macros, you know all this stuff, bro. Can I ask you a question? How have you got muscles, like if you're vegan... I don't know. My body just synthesizes the plant protein. Out of air? Yeah, out of air. Because I thought you only eat basically air, sticks, maybe a few leaves. Yeah, yeah. I didn't think they had protein. It's all just plants.  Koalas eat gum leaves, don't they? Eucalyptus leaves. And they've got protein. It's magic. There must be on the juice. Tofu, tempeh, beans, legumes, full of protein, whole grains. We can get mock meats as well, full of protein. Vegans aren't dying of protein deficiency. Yeah, I know you're vegan and everything, but nothing's gonna stop me from eating meat. I know God put them here, but I eat it. What can I do? If you can watch a movie for me called Dominion, you and your mates, hey, brother, because this will blow your mind, man. There's a bunch of activists that leave cameras in these places, in Australia, actually. So that you can see the truth for yourself, you know what I mean? And it's f***ed up. It's the most f***ing thing I've ever seen. What happens in Australia to animals? You go watch, I'll watch it. Promise me, brother. How old are you? 17. 17, bro. When I was 17, you seem to have your head screwed on a lot more than me at that age. I was a menace. I was a menace. I was running around. I was carrying knives. I was drinking alcohol. I was taking drugs on the streets all the time. So to have this conversation, I wish I had this conversation when I was 17, man. I'll say it, mate. All right, brother. Take care, bro. No worries. Good talking to you. I can't just walk away without a song.


It's our great pleasure to have Hunter Lovens here to speak with us. Let me start by acknowledging and celebrating the first Australians on whose traditional lands we meet and pay our respects to their elders. I've known Hunter for a number of years now, and I think you'll find that she's probably one of the most engaging speakers that you'll ever hear. She actually started out as an environmental lawyer, so she got her degree from Loyola University in Los Angeles. And she's the founder and president of Natural Capitalism Solutions. So all things that are near and dear to my heart. She's also a professor of Sustainable Management at Bainbridge Graduate Institute and at Bard College. And she's also a master at the Daytow Masters Academy in Beijing and Shanghai. In fact, that's one of the things that we have in common, and I'll say a little bit more about that in a second. She has an academic career that spans four decades and has addressed the U.S. Congress, various parliaments around the world, including the Australian Parliament, I believe. Not the current one. Too bad. Maybe we can arrange that for later. All right. Nobody's asked her on that one. She's addressed the World Economic Forum, the World Summit on Sustainable Development, and hundreds of major conferences. She was named Millennium Hero for the Planet by Time Magazine. And, pardon? Pretentious title. I know. Do you get a pin, too? Is there something on? No? Okay. And she's also been called the Green Business Icon by Newsweek. She's received the Sustainability Pioneer Award given by the European Financial Community and the Right Livelyhood Award, which is kind of the alternative Nobel Prize. The Leadership in Business Award, the Racial Carson Award, lots of other awards and things. She was also inducted into the Sustainability Hall of Fame by the International Society of Sustainability Practitioners. And she's advised governments from Afghanistan to New Zealand on economic development issues. And we actually worked together on a project that was initiated by the King of Bhutan and the Prime Minister of Bhutan on developing a new economic paradigm based on well-being and happiness and not maximizing economic growth. So we spent some time together in Bhutan working on that, and I think that's a good takeoff point for what she's going to be talking about today. How do we build an economy for the Anthropocene that's based on natural capitalism and not old-school capitalism? So help. Join me in welcoming Hunter Levins. Bob, thank you. And thanks to all of you for coming this afternoon. I think there is no more important conversation to be in, and I'm happy to hang out as long as y'all want to. So let me see if I can kick this off with some comments, and then we can have a conversation. The Anthropocene, we're all convulsed about the economy. Are we spending beyond our means? Are we borrowing too much, are governments borrowing too much, lending too much? Has the whole world gone mad? Whole? This is the first generation in which we are determining the geology, the future, the climate of the earth. We have shifted from this insignificant little species that is interested only in our own survival in a cruel world that's out to get us, from being the cruel influence that is now capable of destroying life as we know it on the planet. And we stand, if you will, at the edge of a precipice. Most of the world's people living on this precarious edge, we are beyond the planetary boundaries as people like Dr. Costanza and Rockstrom, a whole team of scientists identified. We've exceeded the boundaries in at least three aspects. And as Dr. Kate Raworth at Oxford has shown, we are not yet above the minimums required for humans to live with dignity. And what we ought to be seeking, if you will, is this donut, the safe operating space in which humanity is below those external boundaries and yet above the minimums. And a team of us headed up by Dr. Costanza and Dr. Kubiszewski wrote this book suggesting ways in which we can get there creating a sustainable and desirable future. And this is what I'm going to talk about, that we have the capacity at the same time at which we can destroy life as we know it. We have the capacity to build a world that works for 100% of humanity, which seems to me worth doing. Here's what we're up against. GBO3, a lot of scientists showed that we are losing life. Species are going extinct at a rate faster than they did when the dinosaurs disappeared. Coral reefs, sorry scuba divers, business as usual, perhaps as early as 2035 there will be no living coral reefs on planet Earth, including your Great Barrier Reef, the Amazon. This is a bit more serious, it's the Earth's lungs. And then we're acidifying the oceans. Now we can all probably live without oysters, but those little calciferous critters called phytoplankton that produce about half of the oxygen on Earth, we'd miss them. And the acid oceans are dissolving the capacity of their shells to retain integrity. Now if all of this is starting to sound a bit like that old book, Limits to Growth, I mean we all know that book was wrong, yeah? Well maybe. The April 2012 edition of the Smithsonian Magazine was so unkind as to go back and look at those original collapse graphs and plot the data from when the book was written in 72 until 2000, which was as far as they had the data. The dashed lines are the original projections, the solid lines are the actual data, we're eerily right on track. And about a month or so ago, down in Melbourne, a team went even further, brought the data up to date to now. And again we're right on track. Now trend is not destiny. We can yet change this, but if we keep on this heading, the future looks a bit grim. And back to the economy, the unsustainable business practices, according to Sir John Beddington, chief scientist of the UK, are what created the economic collapse, that the two are intimately linked. And until we begin to deal with these fundamental unsustainabilities, we will lurch from collapse to collapse to collapse. Well we've had one, and it evaporated about 50 trillion dollars, 80 million jobs, and caught the so-called experts quite by surprise, Alan Greenspan admitted that he had put too much faith in the self-correcting power of markets. He said we're in a state of shocked disbelief. Financial times went a little further, they said we don't fully understand what's happening to advanced economies. Well charming, if they don't know who does. Well some investors are starting to think about it. Jeremy Grantham runs a multi-billion dollar investment fund, said the assumptions of most investors are that we will have at least 3%, preferably about 8% GDP growth per year. Said it's not going to be like that. We'll be lucky to have 1%. And if you watch the official statistics, they always say, oh yeah, we hit 3. Until a few months later when they correct them, down closer to 1. I commend to you this video of Grantham with Charlie Rose, and he walks through for fundamental financial reasons why we are headed for zero growth. Now this is interesting, the investors are starting to come together with the limits to growth folk. What happens when that happens? Well here's what we're looking at, and Grantham points out part of the problem is the increased capital expenditure needed to obtain the resources that we assume we have to have to run the economy. So this is the percentage increase in capital expenditure of three of the oil majors, and the percentage increase of proven reserves as a result of that CAPEX. So you've got ExxonMobil in the 30s, Shell, Chevron, they're the big losers, 87% increase in CAPEX for minus 3% increase in proven reserves, they're going backwards. So when we say yeah, there's plenty of oil out there, there's plenty of gas out there, Shell Gas, Shell Gas is going to solve all our economic problems. Look at the economics. What is the capital cost of punching all those holes in the ground? Yeah, there is a lot of oil out there. If that old theory of peak oil is correct, you've hit the peak when you've extracted half the resource, not when you've run out of it, because of the increased cost of getting there. Same thing is true in metals, a colleague of Bob's and mine is writing a paper, has written a paper on peak metals saying the same thing, the ore bodies are getting poorer and poorer for the amount that you have to put in to get them out. Mandela said it, poverty is not an accident. We've made it, and because we've made it, we can change it. The economy that we have, the economic ideology that is driving the destruction of our natural capital, of our human capital, actually is not that old. It was built by a small group of men, 36 of them, who gathered at a place called Mont Pelerin, hotel outside Montreux, Switzerland, in 1947 to build the intellectual architecture to serve their narrative of the way the world ought to work, which is the primacy of the individual, that markets are the only mechanism to implement policy, and that government is bad. Heard that point of view of late? They put their members, got three of their members as heads of state, their members as advisors to essentially every head of state on the planet. They built the Chicago School of Economics in the late 1960s in the United States, a Supreme Court justice named Lewis Powell wrote a memorandum, the universities are erupting, the communists are winning, we must act. And five foundations, Olin, Coors, Skafe, Mellon and the Koch brothers, each committed something like $5 million a year for five years to build the institutions, American Enterprise, Kato, Heritage, Hoover, Hudson, Fox News. They built the institutions that messaged, researched, remessaged and rolled out this mental model of the primacy of the individual, the market is the only mechanism and government is bad. With the accession in the UK of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan in the United States in 1980, they won. They became the dominant economic ideology, the planet around to the point where now in my country, the most liberal president ever is economically to the right of Ronald Reagan. It is no longer a polite conversation to talk about any other approach than this and it served their purposes very well. Prophets are up. My compensation is double. Look at me. I'm walking on water. Yeah, you're walking on the shoulders of the poor slob that's underwater. And this is the mechanism by which they will rule their world. We cannot possibly meet the needs of people or take care of the environment that costs too much. Well, it's starting to get people in the streets in Europe. Governments are falling from Greece, France. The Greek economic collapse driven by this ideology of austerity. Young people, 60 to 65% of young people do not have a job. Italy, Spain would have thought that the collapse of a bank, none of us had ever heard of on an island. Most of us could not locate on a map would threaten the entire Eurozone. So, uh, Miracle, who is now the world's banker said, well, that's all right, we'll just give all the depositors a haircut, uh, take some of the value of their deposits. Directly, Vladimir Putin is on the phone to Miracle. No, you won't. Those are the deposits of my Russian mafia. Who's running our economy? Now, what's interesting is we know from the statistics that austerity does not drive economic growth, even if what you want is just pure old GDP growth. Austerity doesn't get you there. The least austere countries have the higher growth. The more austere, the country's most subjected to austerity are in a race to the bottom. And if you go back and look at history in about 1929, when we had a little economic problem, inequality was at its peak coming out of the gilded age. It was the spending into World War II that ended that depression. And from the end of the war, everybody grew together until 1979. Again, what happened in 1980? That you're in the UK, Reagan in the U.S. And this shift of economic theory to the Mont Pelerin mental model. And since then, inequality has come back to the point that says in Piketty showed it's about back to the levels it was just before the Great Depression. Piketty, this has got to be the least read bestseller in history. 700 pages of arcane economic statistics translated from the French was the number one bestseller on Amazon.com for weeks as an author. This is insulting. But what he's saying is the reason he says everybody bought my book is that this issue of inequality is now of incredible concern to all of us. And he said what's driving it is pay, particularly to the the CEL class and the nature of capital, how capital produces capital through investment. Once you have it and can invest it, you get more of it. For most of us who don't have it, we're not getting it. You cannot work hard enough to work your way out of this whole. And this level of inequality is not good for society. Our colleagues, Dr. Richard Wilkinson, Dr. Kate Pickett wrote this book, The Spirit Level, on the impacts of inequality on pretty much any metric that you care about, whether it's how long you live or whether or not you have murders in your society or whether or not people are fat or addicted or have a whole array of social challenges. They're all worse. The less equal your nation is. Now in the US, some people asked, what do you think inequality is? You think it ought to be. And the answer came back fairly egalitarian. Yeah, there's some differences, but reasonably well divided. Here's what it is. We just have no sense of how unequal we've become. So what's the way out? I think if we solve the worst of the environmental problems facing us, we create jobs. We go a long way thereby to ending poverty. We mobilize the investment money that is needed in the society. We empower the entrepreneurs who have always been the problem solvers, and then the rest will follow. And we can do it. Dr. Mark Jacobson at Stanford has shown we can power the world with 100% renewables by as early as 2035, and he is now replicating this study state by state by state throughout the United States. And it's an interesting experiment to do here in Australia. Indeed, some people have done it. Answer is essentially the same. You can power Australia with 100% renewables and doing it is the job creation engine. In my country, the regenerative economy, the green energy economy already employs more people than the fossil industry. It does better than the rest of the economy, even in a down economy. It pays better. It is hiring, manufacturing jobs. If we want to bring manufacturing back to the United States, invest in renewable energy. 25% of the jobs are in manufacturing compared to 9% for the economy as a whole. It's growing faster. California's green economy grew three times as fast as the traditional economy. Occam Steiner runs the UN environment program, reckons about half the global workforce will be involved in the green economy by 2030. And the opportunities are enormous. Shigar Shah, founder of Sun Edison, said we need 100, 110, 100,000 companies being created to sell 100 million worth of climate solutions by 2020, resulting in a $10 trillion economy. And this will solve the climate crisis and the jobs crisis. Where do you start efficiency? Listen, if you can hear an HVAC system working, it's inefficient. Essentially everything in our economy is inefficient. And Jigar said because of technological development, it's always cost effective to save about half the energy that we're using. So go through and do all the retrofits you can. A couple of years later, go through and do them again, you will still get cost effective savings. This is particularly true in buildings. Jigar went from being an entrepreneur to running Richard Branson's carbon war room. They came out with this report on the built environment. The sort of stuff Janice Berkland here works on. HSBC reckons the energy efficiency in the built environment market today is 87 billion worth of capturable savings. In 2020, it'll be a whole lot bigger. McKinsey puts it even higher, 1.2 trillion attainable by a $520 billion investment to save about a gigaton of carbon. We need to save 17 by 2050 to get to stay at a safe level. Once you've done the efficiency, move on to the renewables. They are increasingly replacing fossil energy. In Southern California, the Edison Utility just commissioned a 1.3 gigawatt solar array. A gigawatt is roughly a nuclear sized chunk of electricity to be online by 2016. Anybody know how long it takes to build a nuke? A lot longer. They're now looking at bringing on gigawatt scale storage. You know, the rub on renewables, well, the sun doesn't shine at night. So you need storage. Well, we're getting it. We're getting utility scale storage. And at that point it's over yet. Swanson's Law. Price of solar comes down 20% for every doubling. We've had two or three of them already, eight more, and we power the entire world with solar. And now we're starting to get some really fun breakthroughs. In Arizona, they just commissioned a molten salt storage unit, 280 megawatt plant that is now up and running. This is 24 hour a day base load power from the sun. Here's the cool one. Buildings on electric cars. The battery capacity in cars running around is about 15 times the capacity of the electric grid. So you plug your car into the building and the car batteries are powering the buildings when the sun's not shining, when the sun's shining you're filling up the batteries in the cars. Have a little thing like a credit card swipe so the system knows it's you. And what has been your second largest personal expenditure is now a money making machine for you. Lots of breakthroughs coming. Next generation wind turbines. PV's hitting grid parity. This is true in most of Germany now. It's true in about 20 states in the United States. Oceans, more efficient PV's, better batteries, offshore wind turbines. A whole array of technologies just now coming on market. I was on the floor of the US Stock Exchange when my friend Tom Karnak, who was at the time running the carbon disclosure project, announced the results of their survey. The leaders, the corporate leaders in reporting and managing their carbon emissions between 2008 and 2012 achieved over 5% higher return on equity. 18% greater stability and cash flow. A percent and a half higher growth. Twice the average total return of the Global 500. And this year's report, the S&P 500 companies that have sustainability baked into what they're doing are financially outperforming the laggers. 18% higher return on investment. Notice I'm not talking about polar bears. This is business. And it's happening, whether it be Harvard Business Reports or Sustainability Certifications or my friend Yvonne getting the cover of Fortune magazine, Patagonia or Walmart, the evil empire going green. You know when Walmart goes green, they are not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. Harvard, sustainability is not the burden on the bottom line. It was thought to be it is the touchstone of all of innovation. And in the future, only companies that have it as a goal will achieve competitive advantage. When those wild-eyed environmentalists at Goldman Sachs tell you that the companies that are the leaders in sustainability have 25% higher stock value than their laggards, there's a business case. So at Natural Capitalism, we collected 40 of these studies. There are now more than 50 of them showing essentially the same thing. Sustainability is better business. Now if this is true, and I believe this is now proven, the old way of doing business is in trouble. And indeed the New York Times, utility executives around the world are watching nervously as the technologies they dismissed as irrelevant threaten long-established business plans. And poor countries, the developing countries are leapfrogging. They're just like they went, they blew past landline telephones and went to mobile phones. They're leapfrogging to renewables. Steve Chu, who was US Secretary of Energy, said the utilities are in danger of being FedExed, just the way the post office got FedExed, as rooftop solar modules drop in price. It's called the death spiral.  The top 20 European utilities lost 600 billion in value over the past five years. Tesla, little Tesla, is now valued. Its market capitalization is more than half General Motors. They produce 300 times fewer cars. How can this possibly be? Because Tesla's not a car company. It's a battery company. And batteries' storage is the holy grail of the renewables revolution. As soon as you can modularize and gang together batteries to utility scale storage, it's just pure over.  This is the five kilowatt solar unit on my ranch. And my leaf. So I plug my car into the sun.  And I went and bought a leaf because I was having breakfast with a guy who said, I did the math with the tax rebate. What I pay monthly for the car is the same as I was paying for petrol, for gasoline. He said, I have a free car. I went and debated the frackers. And the guy I was debating was really good. And he had the last word. And he said, you need our product. We're going to drill it. You're going to buy it. I was in a bad mood. The next morning, the man I lived with called up. He said, it was a rainy day. Been out horse shooing. He called up. He said, hey, you want to go drive a leaf? I said, yeah, I do. It outperforms my Porsche. I sold the Porsche and I now drive a leaf and love it. Nissan got it right. When you, and any of you who've ever driven an electric car, the torque is incredible. So your acceleration, you heard of smokers. This is this, the U.S. is crazy.  So Rob, my guy was sitting in a light in the leaf with a smoker next to him. And this guy was going, boom, boom, boom, boom. And looking over at him, Rob just waited until the light changed and just blew away from him. It'll out-accelerate any gasoline-powered car just because of the torque. Now, it ain't going to top out like the Porsche did. Porsche could outrun it at the high end. But there's the limit to how fast you can go before you start paying a lot in traffic tickets. So the front of the car is the acceleration and the handling. Now, if the utility is nice to me, I will do what I do today, which is I'm grid interconnected. When the power goes out, I have an isolation relay and I can stand alone. And in the floods last fall when power was gone for four days, we partied on. If the utility is not nice to me, I buy one of these Bosch or LG 5 kilowatt storage systems, which are now commercial. I cut the tie and I stand alone. Now, me, Kwame, who cares? Me as a big company like Unilever, which is now announced it's going 100% renewable powered, or Apple or Google or Ikea or Walmart. If the utility is nice, we stay grid interconnected. And this is good for everybody. A grid is a nice thing to have. We built it, we paid for it, we might as well use it.  You have this exact same problem here with your economy. You have made a bet that China will want all the iron ore you can dig and all the coal you can dig.  You think your economy will get you rich extracting resources and selling them as commodities. China is smarter than that. China is starting to decouple from your economy. China has as its basis for development policy, the circular economy, energy efficiency. China is investing hugely in renewables. They cannot go 100% renewable today. So you can sell coal to them for a few years yet. Is this a good bet for your national economy for the next 10, 20, 50 years? Here's what your vice chancellor has done. Go A&U and this is smart business. He's not the first, Stanford did it, Oxford's done it. But it's a very smart move. Some of the coal equities have lost 90% of their value since 2011. Bloomberg had a nice piece. Don't be the last one holding these equities. People are going to play this market for a little while. You say, well, if I sell somebody else will just buy. Yeah, for a little while. Bloomberg also said long-term fundamentals of oil and gas are not favorable. Is this really what you want to be betting your economy on? Here's what got me. City, city group, a report out last June called Energy Darwinism. Said this is the era of renewables. They talked about the alarming fall in the cost of solar. Alarming to who? Fossil fuels further up the cost curves are most at risk. What it costs now to build a new coal plant. And trust me, China can do math. Face competition with new technologies within the first quarter of their lifetime. These projects entail significantly more risk than is widely recognized. What city did was they said there is utility scale solar now on offer at 5 cents a kilowatt hour a U.S. Indeed 4 cents, but they said we discount that that's subsidized. Hint to city. All energy is subsidized. And around the world the fossil energy is subsidized 12 times as much as all the efficiency in renewables. But fine. What city said that was interesting. 10 year unsubsidized forward price of gas, which is the cheap option. 11 cents a kilowatt hour. 10 year forward price unsubsidized of solar. 10 cents a kilowatt hour. They said it's over. Solar wins. So you have a 10 year horizon at best if what you want to be is an extractive industries economy. And city said the history of the energy industry tells us that change is never gradual. New technologies are embraced at the expense of incumbents. And this goes from wood to coal to oil to gas. And city said this is now the age of renewables. Now smart utility commissions are getting this. So New York state just issued the reforming the energy vision act. Business as usual should no longer be considered the only cost effective way to meet our responsibility to provide power to everybody. We're going to enable customers to choose cleaner more resilient power options. Integrating distributed energy resources as the primary means of meeting system needs. Hawaii has done the same thing. Germany of course plans to be 100% renewable by 2050. Scotland by 2020. And now it gets interesting. The people are getting into the streets. Nothing scares a politician more than people in the streets. 400,000 of us in New York City was pretty amazing. Another 600,000 around the world including cities here.  I like the little guy at the bottom. He's walking away. And it doesn't take very long. Before institutions that have seemed to us to be inevitable die. I spent a lot of time with the folk at Occupy. I wanted to hear what they were on about. Occupy lacked a strategy of change. And this scares me of all the big challenges in the world. This one scares me. How many of you have seen this video? Yeah, a couple of you. If you haven't, go check it out. Russell Brand Jeremy Paxman. Just Google Russell Brand Jeremy Paxman Revolution. And in it, Brand says I haven't a flicker of a doubt. It'll be revolution. Most watched YouTube video all of last year. Really? I don't think they have a clue. Revolutions eat their own. And Sarah Palin shoots straighter than we do. So this is going to be interesting. Landing this beast is going to be a little turbulent. I don't think we're prepared for the challenges facing us. But I think we'd better get prepared. So what Bob and Ida and a whole team of us are doing is trying to fundamentally rethink the economy. What would an economy be that worked for 100% of humanity? Here's what we have now. We, the environment, natural capital people are in service to the economy, which is in service to finance. What's wrong with this picture? It's wrong way around. Finance ought to be a tool in service to a healthy economy that is in service to life. The poet Wendell Berry put it well, our economy has become an anti-economy, a financial system without sound economic basis and without economic virtues. This is our life. We get dressed in clothes that we buy for work, drive through traffic in a car we're still paying for in order to get to the job that we need to pay for the clothes in the car and the house we leave vacant all day so that we can afford to live in it. And after 9-11, my president said go shopping. He was actually right. If you have an economy 70% based on consumption and in a crisis you act as if nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong. So after the 08 recession, the Financial Times blamed all of us who weren't buying enough. It's the zombie U.S. consumer. Well, the zombie U.S. consumer consumes a lot. You look at what we spend on things we don't need like makeup. It had more than pay for reproductive health care. Pet food would eliminate hunger. Bottled water. Three times over provide clean drinking water for the world. As Dana Meadows said, we are seeking to meet non-material needs with stuff. What would you suggest to fill the dark empty space in my soul? Bobby Kennedy said, even if we act to erase material poverty, there is another greater task to confront the poverty, satisfaction, purpose and dignity that afflicts us all. Too much and for too long, we seem to have surrendered personal excellence and community values in the mere accumulation of material things. Our gross national product counts pollution and advertising and ambulances, locks and jails and destruction, napalm nuclear warheads, armored cars. Yet it does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. Is there any? It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country. It measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile. And it doesn't even measure whether or not we're happier. This is work that Bob Costanza has been leading for years, asking, why are we measuring things in this stupid way? And are there different metrics? And so as he mentioned, we were asked to Bhutan by the visionary prime minister to see if we could create a new model of development. Bob and Ida and Dr. Jacqueline Maglade, who's now chief scientist of the UN Environment Program, Richard and Kate, Ashok Khosla, runs development alternatives in India. And we gave it a go. And then for a variety of reasons, Bhutan chose to go in a different direction. So Bob and Ida and I got on the phone one day and said, why don't we create our own little organization out of this team of people that has been pulled together. And so we did. The Alliance for Sustainability and Prosperity, ASAP4ALL.org. Join us. We are starting a whole conversation around what would an economy be in service to life. Here's the old mindset. The old mindset. Technology is important, but it's only a solution. It benefits all. Yeah, there are limits to the Earth. But if we are caring, if we're restoring for regenerative, we can build a different kind of economy, preserve the natural capital that underpins all of life, shift to the concept of sufficiency. Bob introduced me to a word out of Scandinavia. Lagom. Enough. Enoughness. Pretty cool thought. We thought about calling it the Lagom economy, but nobody'd know what it means. We need to move from all of us being a bucket of crabs, where as soon as any of us begins to get elevation, the other ones claw us all down. We're all in this together. And we need to move from the concept of creating jobs to creating real ownership to place-based economies. We can have a global economy. I'm particularly fond of Scotland's finest export. And yes, I have sampled whiskies around the world. They still don't beat Scotland. But our economies ought to be place-based and resilient locally. Then we can afford to import the luxuries. But we need to be moving from exports to meeting our needs locally. If we are standing on the edge of a cliff, the only smart thing to do is to turn around and take a step forward. And when we do, we see everything we've left behind from indigenous wisdom to the intactness of the natural world. It's a beautiful world. Innovation is found at the edges. And we need to begin to roll the edges back up into a conversation in the center to change the story. Humans have always learned by story. What is our new story? Pete Seager said the key to the future of the world is finding the optimistic stories and letting them be known. Edges in nature are where the abundance is, where a forest meets a meadow, where a river meets the ocean in an estuary. Because of diversity. Entrepreneurs celebrate diversity. Entrepreneurs aren't afraid of edges. They've always sailed out from the edge. And when they do, they find it's not a flat earth. You don't fall off the edge. It's around earth. This whole concept of circularity. Entrepreneurs are also the job creators. The Kaufman Foundation showed that in the U.S. in all but seven years from 1977 to now, the big companies have been job destroyers. The job creators are the startups. And so I want to brag on my kids that I'm the CEO of the company. These are some of my students. Two teams. One California's highest environmental award. Building a company called EOS Climate. They realized that refrigerants are 11,000 times worse for the climate than CO2. And with regulations coming on the grocery stores, the companies that have all these refrigerants are just going to let them go. Not good. So they came up with a proprietary technology to destroy them. But what was the business model? So one of them spent a lot of time with the California Air Resources Board when the Republican governor put in place a carbon cap and they then created a market to trade emissions reductions. They got destruction of refrigerants classified as an emission reduction. Okay, now there's a business model. Then they brought in some technology. On an iPhone, you can track chain of custody of these refrigerants. They built an app. The things are worth recycling. Turns out they cost $5 a pound. So you recycle them, recycle them, recycle them, recycle them. Every time getting your carbon credit. And then when you're done with them, you destroy them. Getting another carbon credit. Now they have a great business model. They're making money. The companies are making money and they're solving the problem. The Isle of Ag off Scotland. This was owned by some British landlords who kind of treated the people like serfs. They put it up for sale, put the whole island up for sale to be developed. The people said, wait a minute, let's buy our island. So they did a Kickstarter Indiegogo campaign and they raised the money to buy the island. And now they're taking it 100% renewably powered. They're doing regenerative agriculture. It's the only place in Scotland with net in migration. They're an interesting species. We created the economic model that is destroying life as we know it. And we can change it. Cheater capitalism is not a natural law. We can do something different. And you can do something different here. Here's the question for you. What do you want your future to be? Dr. Mike Smith sitting here is one of the lead authors on this book Natural Advantage of Nations that lays out for Australia for this whole part of the world how to implement a sustainable future. And Mike taught me Australia was the third country in the world to develop a programmable computer and another computer in the 40s in the 60s but you didn't fund it. You didn't invest in it. You let Silicon Valley take the computer industry. Australia has some of the best scientists in renewable energy in energy efficiency now in regenerative agriculture in all of the technologies that are needed to build a sustainable world. You're going to miss this opportunity because you want to remain there. Yeah, you can pave over it paint over it said what we do in the next 10 years matters more than what humanity does in the next 10,000. We're up against it. This is if you will humanity's final exam was Bucky's phrase and Bucky also said we are called to be the architects of the future not its victims. Thank you to join us join Ida, join Bob join all of us at ASAP join an international team in trying to rethink this economic paradigm in this time of incredible peril and incredible opportunity you want to play? Thank you.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here in this video? I'm going to be discussing the Potentiality or the possible route that we could have gotten many years ago when screen 5 and screen 6 are still planned I'm going to be discussing how Jill Roberts could have returned because a lot of people seem to be Confused as to how that could actually occur when we saw her die at the end of screen 4 There's a very easy thing that could be done based off of what we know the original plan was for screen 4 For those of you who are already fans of the franchise and fans of the channel go ahead and give the video a thumbs up If you enjoy my screen videos because I'm going to be doing these a lot more I'm not done doing jeepers creepers. Absolutely not We're just going to start doing more screen content now that we got word that there is some type of pulse left in this franchise But essentially Jill Roberts could easily come back because originally Kevin Williamson script for screen 4 it ended at that house For whatever reason I don't recall what happened I believe Kevin Williamson was His script ended up getting rewritten a bit at the end and they wrote in that hospital scene What was going to happen was at the end of screen 4 it was going to be a cliffhanger source Dewey and the gang and the rest of its cops They were going to come into that house after Jill had stage everything to make it look like Charlie had did everything And with Sydney being dead and Kirby possibly being dead as well. Who knows what they're going to do She was gonna she was going to get away with it and then at the very end as she's being taken away Having seemingly gotten away with it. We were going to end the film off with someone saying hey Someone's someone's still alive and then we weren't gonna find out if that was Kirby or if it was Sydney until Kevin Williamson's fifth film and when he originally had already written out a screen four five and six He had plans for because remember screen four was supposed to be the beginning of a new trilogy That's how screen four was originally going in it was gonna end on a cliffhanger with us not knowing who this survivor was Whether it be Sydney or Kirby.  I feel like he was gonna kill off Sydney I think we were gonna pick up with screen five with Kirby being our lead character and Then what would essentially would have happened was Kirby and Jill they're just living their lives and Unbeknownst to Kirby. She she's completely unaware that Jill was responsible for everything along with Charlie Kirby just Kirby just thinks it's Charlie now Kirby in the back of her head has to be wondering how exactly could it have all been Charlie when she got a phone call From the killer while Charlie was locked up or tied up outside in that chair So she might have always been suspicious that there might there has to be someone else You probably has suspicion for all these years and she's been She's been just kind of just trying to figure out who was the other killer She's convinced there was another killer The officers in town are not wanting to hear anything like that because of the fact that they they're set on the fact that it Was Charlie they don't want to deal with any more tragedies in this town but Let's say that in screen five the screen five we would have got I'm just theorizing at this point This whole video is me theorizing in screen five a ghost face begins taunting Jill threatening her to expose what she has done and What's happening is Jill has become so famous from these events She has all these fans and everything in the town of Woodsboro But let's say that this let's say that one of her fans is on to her They probably let's say that they have come up with an idea and a theory of their own that Jill was the second killer She helped Charlie and that she staged everything so that she can get to she can get this fame and attention and let's say Now one of these fans caught on to that and now they've turned their back on Jill and they're taking up the moniker of ghost face they're killing off certain Woodsboro town members who are fans of Jill and They are trying to get her to confess to the crimes that she has done I would like I think that would have been a nice little clever twist on things a ghost face who is They're sick in their own mind, but they're also trying to expose someone else I would I would kind of go for that and That would I think that would just been a very nice thing to see that could have been a very nice thing to see If they went that route many years ago when we originally we're gonna get another trilogy Let me know what you guys think about that down in the comment section below if you haven't already make sure you subscribe It's on a post notification. So you never miss a video In the description. I'll have links on my social media accounts. I'm on Facebook Twitter and Instagram You can message me there to let me know if there's any movies news or views You like me to cover in the future and then down in the comment section I'm gonna have a link to the Facebook group go ahead and join that Facebook group But we can discuss anything horror related anything regarding this channel with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video


Good morning, everyone. You guys can go ahead and hear in the room, stand as we come together for Monday morning prayer here at Radiant City Center. Thank you, people that are here with us this Monday morning, and thank you for those who are joining us online. As we gather together as one church, one body with Jesus as our head, whether you are here in this city, or if you're in another state or another country and you're joining us with those of us in this room, we are with one voice and one accord agreeing with what God promised to do in the scriptures and through our worship agree with the truth of who He is. So we're gonna pray together, we're gonna sing together and I encourage you, this is not a participatory, like I'm looking and just kind of seeing what's happening, but we are engaging and we are repeating phrases, we're singing songs, this is not our personal prayer time, this is corporate prayer together and it requires muscle and movement. But before we jump in to worship, I wanna open up by reading Psalm 84. This is pastor Lee taught this weekend on joy in the house of the Lord, finding joy in the place of prayer and that this hour together is not just the first thing on our schedule that we have to check off for or just something that we have to do before we get to the next thing, whether it be school or work, but that this is joy, this is relationship, this is life, because the Lord is so excited for this moment that we get to spend together, excited for this moment that He gets to partner with His people. And so He's been looking forward to this moment all night waiting for you to show up against all odds and so we shake off our own circumstances, our own fear, distractions, worries, things that seem to be at the top of our mind. We shake it off, we lay it at the feet of Jesus, we say, okay, this hour I'm giving to you. Psalm 84, starting in verse one, it says, how lovely is your dwelling place. O Lord of hosts, my soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of Lord, my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God. Even the sparrow finds a home and a swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young at the altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in your house, ever singing your praise. Blessed are those whose strength is in you and whose heart are the highways to Zion. As they go through the valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs. The early rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength. Each one appears before God in Zion.   I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a son and a shield. The Lord bestows favor and honor and no good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you. So Father, we thank you that you have chose to dwell among us, that you are not distant, you are not remote, you are not in some other dimension totally separated and disconnected from us, but you choose to be enthroned on the praises of your people. You choose to dwell amongst your church.  And we come together and we create a resting place through our praise, through our thanksgiving, through our worship. We establish you on the praises of our tongue. We establish you with truth, with declarations, with faith that you are our God, our Son, our shield, our Savior, that you alone are our King. Blessed are we who trust in you.  As we declare that you come and you are dwelling among us, and we can come into your resting place, come into your throne room right now with boldness and confidence, knowing we have access to be able to fully receive what you have freely given and freely provided for us. So Lord, let this hour together in prayer and in worship be a moment that we can rest, that we can receive, but also so that we can partner and engage with what is on your heart in Jesus' name. We give you our highest, our best. Just before we continue in our worship and prayer, I wanna take us to all take a moment in your own words, in your own tongue to just begin to thank the Lord, begin to call to remembrance, begin to call to remembrance the times that you were broken, you were needy, that you were surrounded by an enemy, circumstances on all sides, whether it be trials, tribulations, slander, whether it be financial, physical, emotional needs, relational conflict, whatever it is, recall the moments that the Lord came and he in the presence of your enemies prepared a table before you. That not only did he just shelter you, not only did he just protect you, but he provided abundantly. There was peace, there was a table prepared that he anointed your head, that your cup was overflowing with joy, with deliverance. So right now, just begin to thank him, literally. Just say thank you wherever you are at. Begin to call to those things of remembrance, thank you for this, thank you that in this circumstance, you were my provider, you were my shepherd, my leader, you took care of me. I called upon your name and you heard me from on high, that you reached down. Begin to thank him right now, let it stir your heart, let it stir faith and remembrance as we begin to praise and thank him. We remembered, we say thank you for all you've done. We remember and say thank you. Don't let your soul grow weary in blessing the Lord. Stir your heart, have life is a grateful heart. Grateful heart begin to be stirred up right now. We say thank you circumstance. We remember that you have already broken in before, that you're that same God yesterday that you are today. This enemy will not overwhelm me. This circumstance will not get the best of me because I have seen you provide. I have seen you lead. I have seen you listen and respond and recall and reach down. So we remember and say thank you. It is our weapon of warfare. Our worship, our thanksgiving is our weapon of warfare against our enemy, against our own fear, against our own insecurity, against our bondage. They thank you. There is no shame here in the house of the Lord. So let joy and thankfulness arise right now. Let joy arise in the house of God. Let our praise and our worship be an offering of incense before you in the heavenly realm as demons, as the enemy, this house from this church. We say no to fear. We say no to cultural pressure. We choose to remember. We choose gratefulness and thankfulness, the Holy Spirit to put his finger on something in your heart. A resting place, a dwelling place, relationship is your goal.  So we are not transitioning right now. We are continuing in our prayer as we thank you Thank you.  This is not just a prayer room for ourselves, just to hang out and feel better. But this is a place where people can come and encounter the Lord, not some stoic room with four walls that has a bunch of rules. But this is a church where prayer, relationship, communion is at the center, the heartbeat, the furnace. And we're not just praying for our church here, radiant church, we're praying for every church in the city. That you're not just looking for one church, you're looking for your church, the church. That prayer would be at the center. Not necessarily that every church would have a separate prayer room, but that prayer would take part and take root deep in the hearts of its leaders and its people, that pastors would be gripped by prayer, that church members would be gripped by prayer, that it would not just be something that they do, but it would be in everything that they do, that before every service, every meeting, everything, every event, before every one-on-one or communication, that prayer would be the root, that we would not do our own thing, but that we would search you, that we would dwell with you, that we would abide with you, and that prayer would be the center of our church. And through that, we would find joy, we would find rest, we would find strength, because it's what you want to do.  It's why we draw to our remembrance our salvation. It's why we draw to remembrance our thankfulness and gratefulness, because it's because of what you've done that we can dwell with you. So in our prayers, we call to remembrance Ephesians 3, verse 16 through 19, it says that according to the riches of his glory, as we recall the riches and the glory and the things that he has done that he would grant us to be strengthened with power through his spirit in our inner being, our deep inside of us, so that Christ would dwell, that Christ would find his resting place, that God would dwell among us in our hearts through faith, in this love, that you would give us the strength to understand not just know it in our head, but to understand with the whole church what is the full capacity and dimension of the love of Christ, the length, the width, the height, and depth, and that love that surpasses all that we could be filled with all the fullness of God. We want joy, we want the fullness, we want to experience deep communion with you and that comes from letting you dwell on the praises of your people, that we cast off the bondage that we're holding onto, the chains are holding onto. So as we pray right now, we ask to the riches of your glory, would you strengthen us? We wanna say yes, we wanna say yes to Christ dwelling among us so that we can be a resting place. So that means that we say no to the things of this world, we say no to those things that are holding us back, we say no to those things that are hindering love, we say no to bitterness, we say no to anger, we say no to selfishness and envy, we say no to those things so that we can say yes to Christ dwelling among us. So in the name of Jesus, would you strengthen us with power to say yes in your name? Strengthen us, strengthen us with power. Our man, by your spirit, strengthen us with power. It's your grace to be a dwelling place, strengthen us with power, strengthen us with power. All those things, we want to say yes, give us the strength in place, a resting place. Every pastor in the church, the churches of this city, and if there's a church on your mind, begin to picture the pastor or pastors that are in leadership there who are constantly having busyness, circumstances, trials, issues, assaults from the enemy, real spiritual warfare, always in front of them. And that's causing prayer to take a back burner because I have to deal with all of these other things. I can't do this prayer thing right now. And we want to picture those leaders, not in a condemning way, not in a shame boy, but to understand the warfare that is coming against them, that the enemy is trying to separate them from their life source. The enemy is trying to put a wedge between that which gives them life and strength and he wants to tire them out. He wants to get them to separate themselves like he did with Adam and Eve from the garden. And so we want to pray for them right now that they would be strengthened, that they would be rooted and grounded in love, that the cultural pressures that trials and temptations and busyness would not be like a wind that would push them side to side, that would uproot them, but that you would cause their roots to grow deep, rooted and grounded in their first love. The things begin to draw into remembrance their salvation, begin to draw into remembrance those moments you called them into ministry. When they said yes to give the rest of their lives to you, when they could have said yes to any other thing, things that would have been more fame and fortune and money and adoration, they said I will lay down my life for you because you asked me to. And so we ask right now that you would draw to remembrance and let their roots grow deep so that prayer could begin to take the center of their hearts and their church in Jesus' name. Every church, every pastor who has a center reminds around them it's so worth it. Hell in the house lit as we transition back to a time of worship, we ask that you would begin to continue to draw to remembrance, thankfulness and gratefulness in Jesus' name. But there's a song who else is worthy?   So let that be the center of who we are, what we do. In Jesus' name, amen, amen. What a way to close that prayer meeting out, declaring the worthiness and the beauty of Jesus. So thank you so much for those here in this room who have been with us for this last hour and those who are joining online. We're continuing to pray Monday through Friday, morning, noon and night here in the Radiant City Center. You can come back today and if not, you can join us again online tomorrow morning. Thank you, God bless.
