resent competition. Alright, a normal thing. Let's say you're an established live streamer, you start your live stream, say, every weekday at 4pm. Right, you're going to resent, you know, people you know, or people you've helped know who start competing live stream. And so many about rabbis with an established synagogue, established congregation, established community are going to resent competition. So even when you become religious, right, you don't transcend the human condition. So they've been great rabbis who've not wanted to move to a certain institution or a certain community, because if they moved there, then they would no longer be number one. So they'd rather stay in a small community, where they're number one, then go to a bigger, more influential community that in many ways is much better suited for them. But then deal with the humiliation of being number two. So you don't get to transcend the human condition by becoming super religious. And so there's a great deal of competition for power and for resources, among Habbad rabbis, just like there is for, for anyone else. Had had so many thoughts there on what duvet was talking about. And Oh, well, this story about tunnels under 770, kind of Rorschach's test. And you see it coming out with Richard, he was very open to all sorts of super nefarious explanations. So I just see this as garden variety delusional activity by some fringe members of the Habbad movement. But for people who consistently have negative views about Jews, right, it's a Rorschach test, it just shows that they're going to immediately look for some dastardly, horrific, negative anti social reason that Jews are doing this and they're going to look at this not just as the misguided activity of a handful of Jews, but as representative of Jews as a whole. On the chat notes that Gonzalo Lyra coach Red Pill has died in a Ukrainian detention center, a strange and sad and yes, and he was delusional that he could live in Ukraine and trash the Ukrainian efforts to resist the Russian invasion. So people tend to create their own misery. I have been the biggest source of my own misery. My own insensitivity to other people, my own lack of recognition of how my words and how my behavior is affecting other people has led to my social exclusion has led to girlfriends breaking up with me has led to the loss of economic and social and romantic connections has led to the loss of jobs and income. Me just being incredibly self centered and not thinking about other people right has led to a life of frequent humiliation. All right. I have consistently been the number one source of my own misery. At age 57, I am still consistently the number one source for my own misery. I am particularly prone to exaggerating the level of interest that some attractive young woman has shown in me simply because she smiled at me and talk with me for half an hour an hour or two hours or hung out with me at this event or that event. And I have developed, you know, an exaggerated sense of my own romantic attraction from her towards me. I have consistently exaggerated my own importance and my own capabilities in all sorts of areas of life. And whenever I do that, I seem to consistently get humiliated. So I have suffered humiliation over the past few weeks, because I had an exaggerated sense of my own importance. So very much remain the number one cause of my own misery. And Gonzalo Lira was the number one cause of his own misery. Didn't he use the name Coach Redbell? Dover says delusional desperation based on the hope that they too can become great Jews of power and wealth through the magical power of the Rebbe. So for narcissists like myself, we will often feel this overwhelming pull to get close to successful people. Because we feel that if we can attach ourselves to someone successful that we will become successful ourselves that it will rub off on us that it will increase our status. So when I talk to very successful people, when I am socializing with people who move through life with grace and elegance and ease, often that has an intoxicating effect. And it's often not even rational or conscious. I just feel this, oh man, if I can just build connection with this person, it can transport me to a life of elegance and ease where I learned to emulate the elegance and ease that this person demonstrates consistently in his behavior with other people. I'm sure that was a great part of my obsession with Dennis Prager. I saw someone who consistently conducted himself with elegance and ease. And I thought, I want that. I want to walk through life as successfully as Dennis. I saw something that filled a hole in my soul. That's why people get gurus, right? They encounter something that simply meets a hole in their soul and from their emptiness and from their pain, that they get this idea of if only I could become friends with, join the social circle of this person, I would transport myself into a higher realm. I could live a better life. I could learn to move through life with the grace and elegance and ease and effectiveness of the great man. In this case, Dennis Prager. He teaches me the lesson not to wear earphones during our broadcast. But no, I don't. But my wife, my wife is converted to Judaism. So she is as Jewish as I am. From the perspective of Judaism, you convert as the same as a born Jew. But she comes from a Christian home. So I have all of her family over and we have a very big Christmas dinner, which I love. I even wear my kippah at the dinner because it's my way of both reminding everyone that this is the Jew in your family who is enjoying this with you and because it's a holy day.  And it is their holy day. And so I, I, I open up with a prayer. And it's, it's a very beautiful time for, for my wife and her family. And especially for her family, but especially for my wife too, because she has all the people over. We have a lot of people over. Right. So stuff like that may mean nothing to you. But when I was 21, 22 at UCLA, my life had fallen apart due to chronic fatigue syndrome. I realized through the best of my efforts, my life was absolute misery. And I encounter someone who seems to demonstrate grace and ease and elegance and seems to be a righteous person and a successful person, and a person who's consistently doing good in the world and someone who lays this alluring quilt of meaning over the world. And I could follow him and enlist in his battle against evil. Right. That, that just took me over and, and consumed me and made absolute fool of me. I spent hundreds of dollars sending subscriptions to his newsletter, Ultimate Issues, who all sorts of friends of mine from UCLA who absolutely no interest whatsoever in Dennis Prager's newsletter. But I wasted hundreds of dollars, thousands of dollars, you know, buying Dennis Prager materials and sending them as wide and far as I could. It meant a great deal to me. When I was 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, that I was Dennis Prager's number one customer. All right. I got meaning in life out of buying more Dennis Prager materials than anybody else that I spent more money like I should have been spending my money now trying to regain my health and trying to rebuild my life. But no, I was getting my meaning, my purpose in life from such a fragile basis as being Dennis Prager's number one customer at the Dennis Prager store, buying his lectures for $10 each and sending out subscriptions to his newsletter for something like $25 a year. He was absurd, but is on such slender reads, many of us base our meaning. And I got meaning in life that when I would send a letter to Dennis Prager, he would write back to me. And I would, I would share his tapes with friends of mine who were inspired by the tapes. And they moved to Orthodox Judaism. And then they wrote Dennis Prager and says, Hey, there's this guy, look forward to share your tapes with me.  And Dennis Prager would write back anyone who's a friend of Luke Ford's is a friend of mine. And that just meant everything to me when my life had fallen apart when my life was now otherwise absolute misery and humiliation and failure. But Dennis Prager would write to people I know and say, Oh, anyone who's a friend of Luke Ford's is a friend of mine. But Dennis Prager would use me as an example in his public speeches about, you know, his desire to touch people with good values on university campuses. But I was this for Brent, a passionate Marxist who used to call into his show. And then eventually I said, Oh, Dennis, I realized I was wrong that I was looking for a substitute religion in Marxism. But now you've introduced me to Judaism. It's the real thing. And here's an authentic way that I can meet this authentic need that I have for transcendent connection. Thank you for changing my life. And wherever I'd go, I'd talk about how Dennis Prager changed my life and would get back to Dennis Prager and that would make him feel good. And I finally met Dennis Prager in person.   I can die happy knowing that you will carry on my work. I read it was incredibly intoxicating. That gave meaning and purpose to my life. When he said that weekend, if you move to Los Angeles, I might have worked you as like, Oh my God, I can work for my hero.  And it just took took me over so much so that I would say the most ridiculous things. In 2010, I visited Loma Linda University. I was on a panel about Jews Christians and the seventh day Sabbath. And after the panel, I was walking with a friend around the Loma Linda University campus. And he kind of didn't understand like many people who've done me like why are you so obsessed with Dennis Prager. And this, mind you, is like 13 years after Dennis Prager and I have personally fallen out because in 1997, I started writing a blog about his daily radio shows started compiling an unauthorized biography of Dennis Prager online. And so basically, he stopped talking to me and all the friends that I had in common with Dennis Prager turned their backs on me. So all I lost all of my friends in Los Angeles. But still, I had this crazed idealistic conception of Dennis Prager, because he met the psychological need I had to feel some sort of connection to an elegant, graceful, righteous, godly way of life. And so people couldn't understand my obsession with Dennis Prager. And if are honest, I couldn't understand it either. I'd have all sorts of rationalizations. I like to talk about I've always had heroes and now having heroes isn't cool. Dennis Prager is a substitute father figure for me. I had kind of a limited and difficult relationship with my own father. And so Dennis Prager has met this vital need I have for a father figure. And he inspires me whether or not you know, he personally approves of my blogging or many things that I've said. And I had to move away from Dennis Prager starting in 1997, because I got online started blogging regularly July 3 1997. But I was primarily blogging about the pornography industry. And the first question I would consistently get from people, what does Dennis Prager think about what you're doing? And that was a horrible question. Because the the dark dirty truth was I would not have ended up in this dark part of life, if not for Dennis Prager exceed recommended these books by the late UCLA psychiatrist Dr. Robert Stoller on erotic excitement. And Dr. Robert Stoller wrote two books on the pornography industry, as I was sex crazed and porn crazed, I kind of took this as Dennis Prager's tacit endorsement of you know, writing a book on the porn industry because he recommended Robert Stoller, the works of Robert Stoller on erotic excitement. So I thought, wow, if Robert Stoller UCLA psychiatrist can write two books on the pornography industry, Luke Ford can write one and still be a mench. So be righteous Jews still still be a good guy. And so for months, I tried to massage this awkward situation. And I ran my response by Dennis and I said, Well, I tell them that you're some combination of amused and appalled by my choice of what I'm doing. And he said, Yeah, that that's fine. Because I didn't want to tarnish Dennis with my tawdry activities. And yet I kind of thought, Dennis, you sort of led me in this direction by endorsing the works of Robert Stoller. He wrote two books on the pornography industry. Why can't I write an, you know, academic elevated lofty tome on the pornography industry too. And I remember Dennis Prager once introduced me to the Mexican help who were serving us Sabbath lunch at at synagogue at Stephen S wise temple. And he would say, Oh, this, this is the most religious man in his profession. And he meant the pornography profession. And I would tease Dennis back and I say, I want to dedicate my next book to you because I was writing history of X 100 years of sex and film. And Dennis would go, Oh, no, no, I'm not worthy. Like wait until you write a biography of the Vilna Gaon and you know, dedicate that book to me. But the tension just became unbearable. Right. I couldn't praise Dennis Prager and value his teachings and simultaneously be developing a blog that was about the pornography industry. And so I couldn't live with the tension anymore. And so I thought, Okay, I need to write about something else aside from the pornography industry. Let me start a blog in addition to the pornography industry. Let me start a blog about Dennis Prager and Dennis Prager's assistant, who was a good friend of mine at the time. She said, if you do that, none of us will ever talk to you again. Dennis went talk to you again. I went talk to you again, or your friends in Los Angeles, none of them will talk to you again. So I was warned. I did it. I thought I was strong enough to handle it. But that social exclusion just absolutely killed me. It devastated me like everything. Everything that was holding my life together was ripped away. And how did I hold myself up? Well, one thing I did is I then became vulnerable to a fortune teller. I broken my wrist playing touch football. And so I've gotten surgery on my wrist, and I got a prescription for pain medication, which I never ended up taking. But as I was standing in line for my pain medication, this woman tapped me on the shoulder. And I'm so vulnerable. Now I've lost all my friends in Los Angeles. And she says, I'm getting a special feeling about you. Because I was vulnerable, right? I found Dennis Prager in the first place and made him this mythic substitute father figure for me. And now I've lost Dennis Prager and all the friends that I had in Los Angeles. Now this woman along comes along says she's getting a special feeling about me. Wow, I was so needy that I bought into that. And she turned out to be a gypsy fortune teller. So I kept going to her. And what was the basis that I went to her? This is this is a few months after I totally destroyed my very limited relationship with Dennis Prager. And I said, Oh, you know, I want to get my relationship, my friendship back with Dennis Prager. And so I'm spending hundreds of dollars, right, eventually about $900 that I could not afford because my credit cards were maxed out at this point at about 22,000 and credit card debt. And I spent $900 on this gypsy fortune teller to try to restore my relationship with Dennis Prager that I blew up for the sake of my own blogging to get away from the impossible tension that came with both venerating Dennis Prager and writing a blog about the pornography industry. And so the first time I go to this gypsy fortune teller, I drop about $50 on her. They were very smart. She started me off. Oh, you know, I'll read your fortune for $5. But then she had all these add-ons she ups sold me various add-ons to her fortune telling. And so I think I dropped $50 on her that first time and I walk home. And for the first and only time in my life, I came home and I found an email from Dennis Prager that was not a reply to an email I'd sent to him. So the only time in my life that I received an unsolicited email from Dennis Prager was after I dropped $50 on this gypsy fortune teller. And the email quoted something that I'd just written about two hours before about how I'd come home from the hospital after being held in overnight at the hospital after my wrist surgery. What was the reason I was held in overnight? Because I had a panic attack. Because I came out of surgery. I just felt so alone. Because I had walked to the hospital. Right? No one had taken me to the hospital. And no one was picking me up at the hospital. And I felt so alone. And I felt so broken. And I was so uncomfortable with the direction of my life. I felt like I was betraying everything good that I had ever stood for. I felt like I was just running in a self-destructive downward spiral that I was stuck in some negative trends in my life that I could not surmount. I felt absolutely alone. I'd lost all my friends. Los Angeles, I'd largely alienated myself from my family.   So even though I clearly alienated myself from Dennis Prager, any normal person would look at what I was doing by my blogging about him against his wishes as the grossest betrayal.  And Dennis Prager quoted my blog post in his unsolicited email to me after I visited the Gypsy Fortune Teller. Then he wrote, I hope you remember that the next time, comma, for whatever reason, comma, you want to hurt me. So when I or anyone who's been close to Dennis Prager makes a criticism of him publicly, it's usually experienced by Dennis Prager as it's not that this person has a genuine disagreement with me. It's this person wants to hurt me. See, I was I was always much lower in status, right? I never had status comparable to Dennis Prager. And so I've also experienced this when you when you get a fan, right? A very size of my life. I've had, you know, this or that fan. And then you you hear these wonderful things from the fan. And then you reciprocate and you try to be helpful. But you know, eventually no one is purely a fan, right?  And then not doing it really out of betrayal. It's just that we always have competing values. And so there may be someone you admire, right? You might respect me for this or that. But then I come along and say something or do something which violates your your hero system, right? I may violate, you know, everything that you find true and good and beautiful and holy.  And then I will experience that as betrayal. Like how could how could this person I thought was my my fan? How could they deny me? So I never had any status, right? I just always had this mentor fan relationship. And Dennis has been very clear to say, you know, I was never friends with Luke Ford. He was never a student. This was his quote to the Jewish Journal in 2007 when they did a cover story on me. He said, I think at some point I may have had a positive influence on him, but now I don't know. So Dennis Prager has often been asked about Luke Ford, you know, how do you explain what he's saying and doing? And it's a great embarrassment to him. As I was a great embarrassment to my father and to my family, like my father was the preacher man. And then I became the king of porn by writing a gossipy website and blog about the pornography industry was just absolutely shaming for my father in particular and my stepmother as well. And so they'd constantly be asked to explain or justify how their younger son had so deviated from everything that they teach is true and good and beautiful and holy and godly. So I caused enormous distress to my parents, other parts of my family, cause enormous distress to my friends. I caused enormous distress and pain to inconvenience to Dennis Prager, like the poor guy. He didn't ask for this. He didn't ask to have some fan come into his life and then critique him publicly, repeatedly. It must feel to Dennis Prager and to any normal observer of us as I am exhibiting the basest in gratitude. Now, from my perspective, I've just been following the truth, whether during the times that I'm following Dennis Prager and praising Dennis Prager or critiquing and criticizing Dennis Prager, I experience it as I am following the truth. I am seeking what is true and beautiful and good and holy and godly, whether I'm praising or critiquing Dennis Prager. But that's not how it comes across. I remember I was dating this one woman in 1998, and she looked at something I'd written about Dennis Prager that was a critique. She burst into tears and she turned to me and she said, this is the person you admire more than anybody in the world. And yet you write this. It reminded me when I was converting to Judaism, a secular Jewish friend who I had lent Dennis Prager tapes and he'd become an Orthodox Jew in large part through through me and my influence and my story and my passion and the materials that I had shared with him. But he didn't like my scathing nature. All right. So I have a part of myself that is yearning to join yearning to join a group to join a court to join connect to build something with other people. However you want to understand it. That's one part of me wants to connect with others. And then I have another part of me that is a critiquer, an investigator. And so same with Kundalini yoga. I love Kundalini yoga, but I then investigated all the downsides to Kundalini yoga and blogged about the downsides. So too, when I was immersed in Judaism at the same time, I was filled with critiques of Judaism. And so my new friend said, why don't you go scare somebody else? You know, why don't you become a Muslim or a Buddhist because it strikes people as the basis and gratitude to have someone who converts to Judaism, converts to becoming a fan of Dennis Prager, who then critiques Judaism or Dennis Prager.  And sometimes he thought that the truth lay with Dennis Prager. And then other times he thought the Dennis Prager was concealing or demeaning or diminishing the truth. And so the pursuit of truth is the admirable through line in 40 story. Right. Nobody seems to think that they all see me as just incredibly socially awkward and ungrateful and mad, bad and dangerous to know. All right. That's that's what people get when they hear about my Dennis Prager story like 40 he is mad, bad and dangerous to know. And I just see I'm a humble servant of the truth. I'm an intellectual jiggaloo. I'm constantly falling in love with new ideas and ultimately staying loyal to none. Whenever I run into Dennis Prager, he kind of has a bemused attitude towards me. And his difficult question is like, you know, 40, what are you into now? Like, what is your kick now? What is your new intellectual exuberance now? Because he knows that I'm just constantly changing. And my father knew that too. Like, whatever I'm excited about today, right, I'm going to be excited about something completely different in a few days, few weeks, few months. My therapist said something profound to me about a year in and I walked into therapy one day and I'd received these two very stern letters from Dennis Prager's attorneys. And I had published lengthy excerpts of Dennis Prager's essays on my blog and they. The lawyers warned me that I was at legal peril that I'd committed copyright infringement. And so I walked into therapy and I go, oh, I'm so mad at Dennis Prager. Like you can't go to like lawyers. All right. That's that's against Jewish law. You should always, you know, try to handle things. But in the Jewish community, you don't go to, you know, outside secular lawyers. And my therapist is like, you're mad at Dennis Prager. Shouldn't he be mad at you? Like you betrayed him. You have created embarrassment for him. Right. You have inconvenienced him.   Like how on earth you get to a point where you're mad at Dennis Prager. And so we kind of go back and forth. Then eventually I'd been in therapy at this point for a year. And a lot of that time I'd been talking about my relationship with Dennis Prager. So I've given up on the gypsy because I got no more unsolicited emails from Dennis Prager. So after dropping $900 on the gypsy in the course of about three weeks, I give up on her. But then I spent thousands upon thousands of dollars talking to a psychotherapist two sessions a week in a large part about Dennis Prager, my lost friendship with Dennis Prager, losing all my friends in Los Angeles. Everyone thinks that I am base ungrateful that I've betrayed Dennis Prager, that I'm an internet terrorist, that I am mad bad and dangerous to know. But really, I'm just a humble servant of the truth. And after a year of my whining and crying and complaining and pulling my hair out of the loss of my friendship with Dennis Prager and everyone we had in common. What year did I have that panic attack? It was when I came out of surgery. So it's the only panic attack that I really recall in my life. It was something like April or early May of 1998. And it was when I was being wheeled out of surgery and I'd woken up. I just felt so vulnerable. I felt like if I fall, there's nothing I can do right now in my very foggy state coming out of surgery to save or protect myself. I feel like I have no friends. I feel alone in the world. Everyone who's known me has felt betrayed by me because of what I've written about Dennis Prager, well, they felt betrayed because on the one hand, I was embracing Judaism and on the other hand, I was simultaneously writing about the pornography industry. I had embarrassed and shame my parents. I had made my name stink and by converting to Judaism, all the people that I'd grown up with, they felt that I was telling them implicitly or explicitly that they were wrong. And so they had turned away from me. The people I've grown up with had turned away from me. My new friends and community that I'd built around Dennis Prager had turned away from me parts of my family. My parents had turned away from me. People hated a lot of the things that I was blogging. I was getting death threats. People would, you know, call up and talk about how they were going to murder me. They took such great exception to what I was writing. People would talk about how they were going to dedicate themselves to destroying me. They were going to drive me out of Los Angeles, whether it was Orthodox Jews or pornographers or Dennis Prager people. They all hated me. They all loathed me. They all wanted nothing to do with me. They all had so much contempt for me. I was used chewing gum on the bottom of their shoe. I was trash. It bothered them that they even had to think about me or see me or interact with me. How can someone of such low status of such low moral caliber? How can someone of such low level of achievement? How can someone who has led such a tawdry life? So how could someone who's so obviously psychologically unstable like how could how could this person beginning thousands of readers every day on his blog, on his internet website that it's disgusting? He's an internet terrorist. And so my therapist a year into this. So I'm paying thousands of dollars. And I'd say probably at a 10 percent of what I talked about in psychotherapy was related to this this loss of my Dennis Prager friends community. And she said, you want to know what I think? And I said, yes, as the first time she'd really given me her opinion. She said, Dennis Prager had such a profound effect on your life that you started this blog about Dennis Prager to try to affect his life, to try to show Dennis that you could affect him, too. You were kind of tired of the one way nature of your relationship with Dennis Prager is just him affecting you. You wanted to show Dennis that you could affect his life. And I said, wow. Hmm. Right. That makes. That makes sense. I was unconscious of that. But I was conscious. I was only pursuing truth. That's what I thought. But I immediately recognized the emotional truth of what my therapist said. Now, I didn't abandon writing about Dennis Prager. But I did let go of talking about Dennis Prager therapy. I just had no need to talk about Dennis Prager therapy essentially ever again, because my therapist had nailed my hidden unconscious emotional motivation. Now, just because I had this weird and uncool emotional motivation that was mixing up and perhaps contaminating what I was writing online, I recognize that from impure motives, you could still do good work. And so I believe that my writing on Dennis Prager, like my writing on many different topics, is a contribution. This is my gift to the world. This is this is me doing what I do best, right? We all like to do those things that we do well. And so I was able to accept and recognize the base uncool nature of my motivation and still take that and transform it and try to build something that was admirable. Right. Here's Richard Spencer and company for some for some kind of minor reason and this age they've integrated with something. I don't know, maybe it's chat, GPT or derivative or whatever. And yeah, it was so polite that thing is so much nicer than an actual human. See, that's the problem.  I mean, it's let's go. I think it looks like I would almost answer it in the other way. I think it's very I think where we're going is it's not it's not like it's not going to be Armageddon like 1980 sci-fi movies. It's like cultural destruction and I think that's worse. Yeah, I'm not as I'm more optimistic, but it's a good discussion under itself.  And I went into his room for Christmas and I went into his room and he was having a conversation with it. OK, I don't think most people are yearning for an AI girlfriend. I think troubled people like Richard Spencer feel a yearning for an AI girlfriend and healthy people who enjoy normal healthy relations with others and build up a family of their own. Right. I don't think they're yearning that AI girlfriend. So there's there's a new mental illness I discovered a few years ago that that I have. It's called. Maladaptive daydreaming, right? That's an excessive amount of time daydreaming. And for me, I daydream about being particularly powerful. So I have dated embedded powerful women and they daydream about being helpless and powerless because in the real world, they're incredibly powerful. So they want to let go of that. In the real world, I am not powerful. All right. I am just another bozo on the bus. So in my fantasy life, I'm an incredibly powerful man. And I like living in the delusions of, you know, what a great mayor of Los Angeles, governor of California, editor of the Jewish Journal, I could be like think of what I could do with power because I feel frequently so powerless and diminished and unsuccessful in the real world. So I very tempted to spend an excessive amount of time daydreaming about what it's like to be powerful. And people like me who. Yearn for your admiration. People like me who yearn for your attention. People like me who have these narcissistic tendencies, right? We are so easy to manipulate, right? If I am not psychologically and spiritually healthy, where I recognize my own vulnerabilities and recognize that the path of indulging in these yearnings that the path ultimately ends in humiliation and destruction. But if I'm not healthy, then I'm incredibly easy to emulate. Right. I recently became intoxicated by the attention given to me by a pretty young woman. And I made an absolute fool of myself. I've actually ever estimated her level of interest in me. If you're living in reality and you're in a strong, healthy, psychological, spiritual state, you're not going to become delusional because some pretty young woman gives you some attention. But if you are consistently looking for ways to bliss out on some addiction, whether it's pornography, whether it's attention, whether it's deading, whether it's online spending, drugs, alcohol, masturbation, right? If you're consistently looking for ways to bliss out, right? You are going to consistently remove yourself from reality. You will be destroying the reputation you have with yourself and inevitably diminishing the reputation with having you have with other people. You're living in reality and you're not blissing out consistently on addictions so that your daydreams have become maladaptive. All right. Then you make better choices and then you feel better about yourself and other people feel better about you. You'll make better choices about where you invest. Right. People like me often make terrible investment choices because we want to live in a world of delusion where we become rich and powerful and so we're easy to turn into suckers. I came to Hollywood in 1994 and I got taken for thousands of dollars in overpriced acting classes and various scams because I wanted to believe that I was Hollywood star material. And so when these scammy operations, you know, would pedal something to me, we're casting a movie, we think you'd be great. And they even they even place announcements in variety about how Luke Ford is going to be starring in this his new movie. And you know, I would part with hundreds and even thousands of dollars for people who had enabled my delusions. Then think late 1995 or 1996 I snapped out of the delusion that I was Hollywood star material. And then nobody ever took advantage of me in this way because I wasn't looking to be taken advantage of. There were various times in my life, particularly around 1994 and again around 2007, early 2008, where I spent thousands of dollars on how to become a great entrepreneur and how I could make a lot of money online. And I spent thousands of dollars on information products and motivational speakers. And then early 2008, I just snapped out of it and never been taken in again. So people will successfully enroll you in lies and manipulation and deceit to the extent basically that you let them. But when you're living in reality, when you're honest about yourself, when you are cognizant of your own vulnerabilities, when you set yourself on a path of self honesty, right? Then when other people say something to you that does not make sense, right, you can immediately grok they're trying to manipulate you consciously or unconsciously and you don't get taken in by scams. All right. Right now I am a micro streamer. I am speaking to 32 people on YouTube. I'm speaking to zero people on kick. But I am speaking to 12 people on rumble. And in the end, when I turned this this live stream into an MP3 and a podcast, maybe a thousand people will listen to at least 10 minutes of this stream today. But I am a micro streamer. There are a few dozen people who have a pretty strong interest in what I have to say.  When you lose touch with reality, the result is inevitably humiliation. And I've been tasting a lot of that lately, because I've spent a lot of time in delusion by the way, back to Richard Spencer and company real Hamas situation on these spaces. It's becoming quite problematic. But back to the frame game, Mike Ben's issue. I'll sort of work backwards, I guess, from now till where it started. It is interesting when he came on to the scene as Mike Ben's. And of course, no one knew ever heard of this person. He's lying about his credentials. He was given this State Department title, you know, for the last two months of the Trump administration. And but he never worked there. He was working for Ben Carson and HUD. I mean, that's he was a speechwriter. But anyway, as he came on to Twitter and started becoming the censorship expert and getting connected to people having his profile sort of, you know, amplified more and more and making connections to the Twitter file censorship people. He actually got the Department at Twitter that is responsible for investigating influence operations. He got the entire team fired. The person's name was Aaron Roderick and that office of Twitter's was in Ireland. And the guy had put out some sort of ad or posting that they're looking for an elections person to monitor disinformation or whatnot. And Mike Ben started this fear mongering campaign. And since he had previously gotten connected to the Twitter file people, Tai Yubi and Schellenberger, who talked to Musk, he got connected straight to Musk and got that whole team fired. And that is the team that would have, you know, found out and expose someone like Mike Ben's or these foreign operators on the platform. So that is one interesting thing. The second thing I wanted to talk about is. OK, so what. So I talk about first question you should ask about live stream is pundits anyone making public pronouncements. Is how does this announcement enhance their own status? All right. What are the esoteric and exoteric messages that they are sending? So exoteric is the public blatant message and the esoteric message is the hidden message. This brings truth for me, right? I will start lying that even realizing what I'm doing, I will exaggerate my own importance and my own dignity and my own righteousness without even realizing what I'm doing or I will realize it and do it anyway. I am not consciously going to say things that diminish the quality of my life outside of these live streams. But I am going to shape. I am going to discipline. I'm going to direct everything that I say in these live streams and on my blog. In my own self interest. I don't want to diminish the quality of my life by things I say here. So I'm going to pull my punches. That presentation I gave about my relationship as ten U.S. and limited as it was with Dennis Prager.   And I'm not going to tell you things that will harm me. I'm not going to consciously do that. I'm not going to say things on this live stream that will diminish the most important relationships in my life, which are generally with Orthodox Jews. So I will often be saying one thing and not even realize that my real message is the very opposite. Or I will consciously say one thing and and realize that to those who will understand my very message is the opposite. I sense Luke is very stressed and suffering from anxiety may it soon pass. I think the truth is I carry around an exorbitant level of anxiety. And then sometimes it just becomes really obvious. Sometimes it stops being esoteric anxiety and it becomes exoteric anxiety. It becomes public and blatant so self-interest is not the only thing that motivates me. Motivates other live streamers and pundits and prognosticators and people trying to shape the world. But. It's usually a pretty big role in what people do. So I agree with Pareto that ideology is incredibly flexible. It's something that various individuals and groups will enlist to try to promote their own interests. So for some people say right-leaning Americans who often vote Republican right for decades they supported more and more free trade. Then suddenly they become protectionist under Trump. Right. It basically reflects their own self-interest. Right. Ideology is just the cover for protection of a group's interests. Just putting that to the side for a moment. The issue of free speech. I'll just say upfront my you know I'd rather myself deal with you know the marketplace of ideas than to hand the power of policing speech and thought to corporations big tech in the state that's just my personal.

Добро първо, всеки. Добре. Добро за да оттежнаме сеси. Надякувам да ви приятелете. Не имаме много време. Почнем. Върх, че ще го говорим? Върх, имам да го даде себе, конечно. Върх, ще го обреждаме са митър на аксистабилити. Върх, ще го подпишам за 4 пилерси.  Върху за мен... Ментото е човесен, тригърът, се е стръска, което е върху за да е работи в QA и които е върху за 8 години. В това пасто, в това сега наминали да е работи в QA domain knowledge lead на FFW, meaning that I am responsible for our quality assurance growth and process in our European entities. When we are talking about the FW we create and scale digital experiences that move enterprise and people forward. What this means is basically that we've delivered more than 2,000 almost exclusively Drupal solutions to more than 500 clients клиents and they were healing enough to tailor the things basically every world possible. So let's start with accessibility. First, we have to start with accessibility. So accessibility, according to Wikipedia, is a design of product devices, services, vehicles, or environments, so as to be usable by people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design and practice for accessible development ensures both direct and indirect Не matter да имате директата. Дорно. Л Hidden Advice here is that accessibility is for people with disabilities. The Time Diss spans disability ways. Disability is true, but not only for people with disability. It makes sense to have accessible design. And now we are going to make some midst. In the following slides I will share with you some quotes based from my experience in the past years about midst accessibility. Just a warning the next slide contains a video that might be ...at people with eating fillbacks. So myth number one, accessibility in web is for blind or low vision users. This is the most common misconception that accessibility is for blind and low vision users. While this is true the spectrum of the disabilities is much broader. we have to cover motor disabilities, cognitive disabilities, hearing disabilities, and here in the example we have a person who is using moustic to navigate and the girl on the bottom is a deaf person who requires subtitles to see the video. And now I'll play the video that I was talking about. This video is from a Pokémon and it's known as the Pokémon shock from Japan и си да го са от 700 къс, докато си изликащите лътвите. Така, много шторм, ето възборът е не за българен или малки виждане. Метната номер два. Възборът е за пълни с дизабилистите това. Как и мето, възборът е възборът за пълни с дизабилистите. If you have to push a stroller on staircase, you can't, right? If you have to watch a video in an extremely noisy environment you can't, you need subtitles or transcript. When you are looking at your phone in the guide,1 if you do pretty often, it's hard to read, right? So, what this means is that if you have great color contrast at the end of the day, си тук по-почоваме да се бържи на телефон, възбирая екифицията, така няма дизабилите, и ситуационални лимитани, че да ви да бърbowи отającто, във товато wenn не има вячески дизабилити сааа right now. Така, както саа donими на дизабилите са саааао, е Бължавата. Във във NextMed, няма дизабилите за на judiciary Para. here I have recorded the video from a website, and you can see that it first looks good both in color and in black and white. Meaning that it is perceivable from people with low vision as well. But it is not only that. A huge part of it is actually under the hood. It is not something that we can see right here. It´s in the HTML, so.. for the end-user, making a website accessible is not making it look bad, it´s making it look either equally good but making it more usable in more conditions. So the next meet. Accessibility is too expensive in time-consuming. this can be true if you started thinking about accessibility before your goal live date. And this is something that happens eventually but if you are planning for accessibility, If you have accessibility in mind from the planning phase and in each iteration you do accessibility testing from the design implementation and everything, it does not increase the cost of accessibility повиннато поittoто дворо година и от това не ете тъmmckt есть and personnel . Depending in your region' or your country, different law supplies nevertheless more and more laws are getting taking place right now, that are enforcing accessibility. Meaning that even thought today you might not be obliged to by a law, it does mean that in a year you don't have to ... your site should not be accessible. But even if you don't have to be accessible by law, why you should do it? Well first, we have the ethical responsibility. Internet is the place, that solves a lot of the problems. If you are a person with disability and you have to do something by groceries, it might take hours to go to actual physical store and purchase them. Но, ако ви можете да го опорим отлайн и да има има къде на ваша двор, в�оя в мурата минути, това са ими стане много върху, това са е да се емпроводите лифта.

Тето ме да се найдете върху и да първаме вашата информация, да има и хобито да живе нормално. ہодаUR is number one. getsominous reach, Emergencyfolded websites are ranked higher by the search engines. So, when your site is accessible, you actually reach a broader audience and by doing so you have more customer. Which makes the business decision of having an accessible website to investing in it easier from от стейхолдърът да купи. И, във това, но не е лист, като има това позитивна брантът. Това е на дължина за възнавални възнати, които е възнавални. Това не е на дължина за възнавални възнавални, които не обтежда от товато. Така, това е му обтежда на мит, и са е възнавални възнати. Тук ще го говорим овъзнати на компленти. Минус за компленти е структирено в WCAG за W3C, които чертва и обие контингт в агсистабилити гайлилинаво наържената на각о на свежата. В разърживане на три категории. Левъв 1, двойната на върхата, върхата е нинистата, и върхата е нинистата. В всесите страни, върхата е стандартната за агсистабилити върхата по-почивано на двойната за части избръжда. and AAA is needed only for government websites and websites that are expected to have a big amount of people with disabilities visiting them. Inside WCAG, the four principal lives, as I called them before, the four pillars of accessibility. They are perceivable, operable, understandable and robust. You can remember them by the word they create, the poor. So now we'll go through each and one of those principles and I'll try to explain their concept so you'll be able to understand accessibility without knowing accessibility. First we have perceivable. Perceivable stands for the biological way, we gather information, sight, sound, smell and taste and touch. For the sake of web, we skip the smelling and tasting and we leave the rest. So for easier understanding, we can think that we lack one of the other senses. So in example, if you are not able to see, you should be able to hear everything. So if you have a video, in example, or an image or something like that, you should be able to hear what this video is about or what this image has in it. If you're a deaf person, this means that you should be able to see everything. So if there is some audio or some video, there should be a transcript describing everything that is taking place right now. So in perceivable, basically you should think of how people are perceiving information and provides different ways, at least two ways from them to obtain that information. Then we have operable. So in perceivable, we are gathering information, in operable, we are inputting information. So here we should be able to use every website with every technology possible. All types of pointers, voice recognition, keyboard only and everything that you can imagine. So I'll give you a couple of examples for operable. The first one is about the smallest thing in the world, which is the close up button. In the new WCG 2.2, there is a success criteria that says that it should be no less than 24 by 24 pixels, if we want for our website to be accessible. So you can imagine the person from the first slides who is using mouse sticks to find and close this button, it would be a nightmare. And also being that small for a person with low vision to actually find it, again a complete nightmare. Now we have the focus. If you are operating the website using the top button, the tabulation, you should be able to see where you are currently at, because otherwise you would not know which element has the focus or when you click enter what will happen. So it's simple as that. This blue outline is what the focus is. Then we have the time. Again, in order to operate a website, people with disabilities, elderly people, they require more time. So we should not time box some functionality. We should not ask a person to make timed keystrokes in order to achieve something. But we should just leave them work with their website at their own pace. Next one, we have understandable. Understandable basically means is that we should not reinvent the wheel. There are good practices around the world that most of the big sites are following and we should implement them. Consistency and predictability. Those two words are really strong and they work really well. If you open a website for a first time, you'll be able to quickly navigate through it. If it's done in the proper way, it will be easier for you to understand it. This is the way that we should build our websites in an understandable way. I'll give you a couple more examples about understandable. First one is the language. I'll be honest with you. This gift here might have been omled from us. But after the session before that, I've removed it. About the language. It's one line in the HTML code to say what's your website language. If you don't have it, the website will be read in the assistive technology, default, fallback language. And if they don't match, this website will become unusable for that user. Also, if you're expecting that a lot of people will be using your website who are not proficient in that language, you might skip the terminology, the high level Shakespeare wording and stuff like that. You can keep it simple so everyone can understand everything. One of my favorites is the error prevention and error correction. I'm not sure if you can actually see it. The error message states, this value should not be no. So here we have multiple issues. First one is what is this? And here we can input some JavaScript jokes, but we'll skip that. So we're referring to this field, which is marked in red. Okay, but if the person who is using the website is colorblind, they would not know that this field is actually marked in red. So instead of this field, we should say the name of the field. Then we have, it should not be no. Well, no is kind of a technical term. Maybe we should use the word empty. Then we have the category with the red asterisk, which is the symbol of mandatory, right? We know it, but not everyone knows the symbols. So if we simply use a help text that says this field is mandatory, we will be doing an error prevention, and this would not have happened. And the last one from our four pillars is robust. Robust basically means semantically correct HTML. Here I have listed most of the things that you can consider. Have a meaningful title, use landmarks, heading should be used as such, et cetera, et cetera. Of course, together with the correct HTML, we should use area attributes. So we cannot test every device. So robust means that we should provide similar experience on all of the devices, all readers, all browsers, everything. But we cannot test them. I've been working as a QA, as I've mentioned, for more than eight years. I know how time consuming is cross device testing. So what we can do is we can try to make sure that we've built everything the best way possible, following the good practices, using static code analysis for the HTML, et cetera, et cetera. So at the end of the day, we should expect if we've done everything the right way, that it will be working for every browser and every device. And if it is not working, this means that it's not working for one device. This means that it's probably the problem with the device and not with us. I mean, if it's working for everyone else. And for conclusion, I hope that you've gathered enough information about accessibility. It's important for everyone, not just people with disabilities. And I hope you'll get on the boat with me and start making our websites more accessible. Thank you.

My name is Melissa Fulkerson. I am the Vice President of Research Reference, which is the STEM Books Division at Elsevier. Social learning across content to me is about bringing together disparate parts of the ecosystem to drive better engagement with students and to make it easier for them to access the knowledge they need to succeed in their educational journey. So in short, removing the silos that exist across products and across vendors, particularly within the Research Division at Elsevier, we've been doing a lot of thinking about how our content and solutions, like Science Direct, can better support student learning in STEM and make libraries more effective at serving their patrons. We've been doing a lot of work to make our own products interoperable internally and make them seamless. And being aware of what is happening beyond our walls will ensure that we are a good steward to the communities we serve. And since we work mainly with libraries who have a deep-seated mission of accessibility and equity, I personally want to make sure that we're doing all we can to support them. We're participating because it's important to continuously learn and evolve and to make sure that as a major vendor in this space, we're doing our part to support the needs of our users. So we look forward to learning about how the standards and recommendations evolve and to do what we can to ensure that our products are meeting those evolving needs of our users. And we want to make sure that we're supporting students through all of our research products. Students in STEM fields go on to become researchers in STEM fields and we want to make sure that we can serve them as best that we can. All of us in this industry have a responsibility to building the future, whether that be research, literacy, education, or whatever part of the ecosystem we touch. Part of that responsibility is to users, making it easier to access the knowledge that lives within our content so that users we serve can learn faster and make the world a better place. And if we work collaboratively, we can accelerate the pace and improve outcomes faster.


The request wouldn't stop pouring in. So here we go. Wisconsin, Michigan. Wisconsin's up 15, trying to bring the ball up. Michigan, full court press, attacking the ball, attacking the ball. Turnover. How about that? Still Wisconsin's ball, though. This one is brought to you by Canadips. Head to CanadipsCBD.com. Use code BREAKDOWN for 50% off. This is where it all starts, because Wisconsin, before putting this ball back in play, calls time out. There's 15 seconds left. Juan Howard's like, dude, you're really going to prolong this game.  Wisconsin coach, here's his explanation for why he did it. I called the timeout to reset the 10-second call, because we only had four seconds to get the ball over half court. And I didn't want to put my backups. I had all my bench guys in the game. I didn't want to put them in that position of scrambling with only four seconds. So I took a timeout and it got us a new 10 seconds and helped them get organized to get the ball in. And he did not like that when he came through the handshake line. He did not like it. I didn't like the timeout being called, and I'll be totally honest with you. OK, I mean, to break it down, he's like, it is kind of silly. Why would you have to call it timeout? What's if your backups get some press for four seconds? Who cares? But then you can say, well, practice like you play. And maybe they're going to be in this situation when it matters and they need to practice. Let's call it timeout and regroup, blah, blah, blah, blah. But also, if Juan Howard doesn't want them trying at the end of the game and he wants them to just run out the clock, then why is he putting so much pressure on the defense?  Just end it. And here, someone actually asked him that question. If you wanted the game to get it done, why keep the press on against Wisconsin's backups at that point? It wasn't press. It was just five pressure defense, man to man. Now you've got to color me confused because I'm a dummy. I know a little bit of basketball. I go to the book. I figure something out. I'm like, wait, doesn't press mean pressure? And yeah, it's short. For pressure, so it wasn't press. It was just five pressure defense. It was in pressure. It was just pressure. So I don't know if he thinks we're dumb or he's dumb, but that doesn't make sense. And then he fouls and he says, good, we'll foul. If you're going to do that, we'll just foul you. We'll play for keeps, too. Put my mask on. I'm a badass. So then the game ends. We get to the handshake line. There's some hot mics here. I'll use those because you can hear what's going on. And he doesn't want to shake his hand. He's mad. Here you go. So, you know, I'll remember that. Don't touch me. Don't touch me. And then just gets this guy right in the head with a really odd hit. Is it a slap? Is it a grab? I've never seen someone kind of go the open hand, but then a little squeeze at the end. The thumb gets them up top. It's a really odd, you know, throwing hands is the best way because I mean, look at that.  And then kind of like in slow mo, a gentle caress down the side with the thumb lingering on the cheek. We've all done that. Just a gentle caress. Oh, I think you're beautiful. I love you. I'm here for you. He's got mad at that guy. And then I like this a lot. It's really hard to see. There's a bald head here. Right there. You see this guy's bald head here? I'll show you earlier. Right there, that bald head, he just popped up. He's going to duck under right there, and he's going to pop up in between this player's arms, like right in his personal space. His head is about to pop up like a turtle right in between this guy's arms. See? You see this guy's face? OK, I'll do it again. So see this guy's yelling, he's yelling, he's yelling. All of a sudden turtle pops up in between his arms and he's like, what the hell?   And we got coaches on the ground. Everyone's going a little bit crazy. Michigan players are holding their coach back. That's always a good look. Wisconsin coach kind of sending his players back. That's always the better look. This guy, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. Oh, and one more thing.  I haven't seen someone not ironically do that since fifth grade. I mean, bam, bam, got him. Yup, yup. And then Davidson just wants to sing real bad while the Wisconsin crowd starts chanting anarchy and suddenly like, I'm on no one's side now. It kind of deterred me both ways. And Wisconsin coach, he's looking, he's looking, he's looking. He gets eye contact with Howard. The other coach, he's nodding at him saying, hi, Howard's pointing at him.  I'm here. If that's like, let's, we can still fight. I'm good. Let's keep fighting. Or maybe join Howard's like, hey, I apologize, man. I'd love to chat with you after the game when you get a moment. And he's like, I'm here. I'm here. Probably the former. We're singing bars to you guys. Come on, come on. Going streaking through the quad into the gymnasium. So Howard's got to leave. He gets suspended for the rest of the season, I believe. Here's his comments after the game, which are also fun. Well, as far as touching, I mean, obviously, it's obvious touching at the handshake line, that it must have been more than that. Oh, yeah, more than that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Touching, touching me unnecessarily wasn't cause for that when we were talking. All right, so they weren't talking.  That's all. And then the guy tried to stop and talk with him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Touching, touching. And I like this little hand motion he puts on his chest here. He was like, yeah, it was more than that. It was more than that. Touching. And then like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And a little through the chest. Which didn't happen. Touching me unnecessarily wasn't cause for that when we were talking.  And then he had to protect himself, naturally. So let's go slow-mo with it. Here's what he says. As if. More than that. Yeah, yeah.  It was more than touching. It really wasn't, though. So let's go slow. Now, Howard does open up his hand last second. Like, fine. See, I will shake your hand. And it looks like Wisconsin's coach going for the classic double-handed handshake where you go, you know, the shake hands and the little elbow pat. Because we're the head coaches and we should do something a little extra special. Who knows? Or he's just trying to stop and talk to them. And this is the touching that happens here. Just that little elbow, not even a grab or a push, just like kind of like an elbow like embrace. And after that, Howard says, it was a little too far. So he had to protect himself. So he goes, schoolyard, bully mode, grabs the shirt, twists it. And now this is a classic shot of like a senior picking on a freshman in the locker by the lockers. Look, he's got his shirt all twisted up. He's grabbing them. Wisconsin coach standing his ground, but he's petrified about it. And that's what happened. That's a breakdown of everything. Howard comes off looking bad, I think, because everything he said was kind of a lie and didn't make sense. And he said pressure and all that stuff. Brought to you by Canada Dips.

Good evening church. How's everyone doing tonight? It's great to see all guys here. All right, so let's talk evangelism I want to quickly share one of the things that happens when you go out and evangelize to people Which I like to call the domino effect and if you want to get like a visual picture I'm pretty sure you guys seen it or or done it before we put all the dominoes lined up together And you hit the first one you make impact with the first one and when you make impact with the first one It makes impact with all the rest, right? and That kind of happens when you go out and evangelize to people as many of you guys know I didn't come from a Christian background or a Christian family So the first time that I told my parents that I came to a new church They suggested that I wouldn't go back because it was something different than what they raised me with But they're not knowing at the moment that I had found the answers to my problems I kept coming back and then I decided to get baptized and I remember the The time that I went home and told my parents My mom was in the kitchen cooking over the stove and I was like mom I'm getting baptized What'd you say you getting baptized? What do you talk about? Oh, you know my taloko watch it watch. I'm getting baptized No, I was like It's like what do you mean? What are you getting baptized and I was like, I know understand what you told me the other time but look this this and this is why I'm getting baptized and I know you guys are my parents. I love you guys. I don't know you guys But what I'll do respect. I'm gonna disobey this time, which wasn't the first time I disobeyed But but yeah, I still went and got baptized And after that a few months later, I believe that not only did they start seeing my commitment and consistency Come into church, but it starts seeing my positive changes in my personal life So then they told me they're all right at least even though you go to a different church than what the one we raised you with We want you to get closer to God and we're seeing that you're doing that and we're gonna support your decision 100% So so after that I'm at that time I couldn't I couldn't contain sharing what God was doing in my life I mean, I was telling everyone inviting everyone to church and The other time I was the other day I was thinking I was like how many people have came to how many people have got saved because I Invited them to church. I mean it's been from friends siblings co-workers co-workers friends Even strangers that I met right at the moment and even most recently about two months ago My mom that I first said not to get baptized and suggested not to come back to the church Came as a guest and surrender and gave a life to Jesus Christ Yeah And all that started first because I made the decision to follow Jesus But actually there was a decision made before mine by someone else a Decision made by someone else to come and evangelize to me and invite me to church and And I believe that a lot of us are here tonight because of that same reason Because someone else invited us to church someone stepped out of their comfort zone and Either witness to you share the testimony or just simply invited you to church And I don't know about you guys, but I thought about this a couple times. What would I be right now? Where would my life be if I didn't meet David at the gym and he'd invite me to church and It wasn't like I woke up one morning. I was like, alright, Jesus.  I think it's time for me to follow you now I think it's time for me to read the Bible and start praying it wasn't like that at all and neither did they David didn't know The outcome of that conversation when he witnessed me He didn't see me at the gym and I was like all looks like this guy has potential right here I think he would be a good asset for our church and be a great evangelist He didn't know where that see was gonna go that he planted in my heart And let me tell you that's one of the best feelings you could get When you see someone getting saved and give their life to Jesus Christ because you invited them to church But you won't know that feeling if you don't go out there and evangelize if you don't go out there and step out of your comfort zone And I understand that we're all different and it won't be easy at the first time But just if you get a little scared or nervous Just remember that someone stepped out of the comfort zone for you So let's go out and step out of our comfort zone and save souls for the kingdom of God. Amen. Amen
