So this is Kelly and she's a destroyer a devourer. That doesn't mean she's bad by the way It means she's something to contend with she's like Tmx So I'm going to take her apart so that you can see her because you can't unless unless you happen happen to know What this means because of your culture and even then you might not be able to see it. So let's figure it out Now she has eight legs. Why what has eight legs? Spider how do you all feel about spiders? Right and the reason you feel like that is because you have these little spider detectors on your skin Those are basically hairs and when the spider crawls along in the spider detectors You get this creepy feeling and that's you basically shaking your skin get rid of the damn spider Of course you can't do that anymore because you're not a horse, you know So you just kind of have a distigial feeling like that and spider can give you a good chomping, you know And so sometimes that's actually poisonous and that's not so good But also a spider is an interesting thing from a conceptual perspective because it spins a web and The web catches things that aren't paying attention And then the thing that isn't paying attention gets wrapped up in the spider's web and then it gets sucked dry So that's a spider. Okay, so she's a spider now Spiders are pretty cool too because they can spin webs, you know, and that's the web of fate by the way That's the web of fate So that's one thing she's up.  So she's a spider that sits in a web of fire and skulls So believe me if you saw a spider like that You'd be looking at it you might scream first and maybe you would run away, but then you'd come back and look at it It's like, oh look, I found the spider. It's in a web of fire and skulls So that'd be very attractive to you. You probably wouldn't be able to forget about it And you know, that's one thing about Kelly. She's the bunch of things that you bloody well cannot forget about And so you could actually even say she's a model of all those things that you can't forget about and then you could say Well, she's an attempt to model all those things you can't forget about and You might say, well, why would you want to model those things? Well, it's because you bloody well better remember those things or you're not going to stay alive and then you might ask Well, should you be dealing with the things that you shouldn't forget about one by one? fighters say or Skeletons should you be dealing with that one-on-one or spiders or snakes or should you be dealing with that as a category? Right, that's the thing about human beings is we like to deal with things as categories because that way you can solve a whole bunch of problems at the same time You know, so you might say you do this all the time You don't If you go online online, you look at people who are having one advice about relationships. They want advice about relationships and you think well really what they want is to Figure out how to deal with this female or this male But they don't ask that question. They ask how can I improve my relationships? Which is that they're trying to solve the problem of how to relate to all the the set of all potential relationships right now? Because maybe that's better information Then exactly what to do about this particular male or female at this particular point in time now often It isn't but you can understand why people are pushed for that It's like why not get the general answer if you can then you solve the whole class of problems Okay, so what's the class of problems here the class of problems here is that class of problems It's how do you conceptualize the class of problems? It's a brilliant. That's such a brilliant question You know it first I mean maybe you can't maybe there's no commonality between all those things that constitute a problem But by the same token maybe there is well, this is an attempt to do that. Okay, so what else about Kelly? She's got a sword her hair is on fire.   It's like well, you can see it's death itself You know when it is that but it's an archetypal symbol and you don't get accustomed to skulls very very hard So she's got skulls everywhere. Well Sometimes she has the tongue of a tiger, but she doesn't in this particular representation But sometimes she does and that's the predatory element and the tiger that's a pretty fascinating thing Right because it's like 12 feet long 5 feet high You know, it's a major piece of engineering that and probably it will eat you so To put the tigers come on Cali also indicates that she's representative of those terrible awe-inspiring Predatory things that lurk in the forest. Of course, this is an Indian representation She often has a snake around her waist and usually it's a cobra, you know And cobras are another thing that people find absolutely fascinating like fire and then but not in this situation What she has wrapped around her instead are intestines and you see how our bellies hollow She just gave birth to that unfortunate character that she happens to be standing on and it's his intestines that she's eating Right now I failed to see how this symbol can protect you from death anxiety You know quite the contrary it seems to me to be something that would seriously evoke it You know, and there's no patriarchal protection here And I can't see how anybody could use this to oppress the peasants, you know Maybe they could scare them with it, but that isn't actually how Kelly is used So I don't think that that's a useful way of thinking about it at all now interestingly enough Kelly is something you made sacrifices to Now that's cool because it's weird people have had a hard time to figure out the whole idea of sacrifice so there's this guy Who was a journalist in the 1960s and he wrote a book his name was Arthur Kessler He wrote a book called the ghost in the machine, which is a book about consciousness And one of the things he pointed out was that the motif of sacrifice seemed to be Architectural it was universal it was happening everywhere and one of the side effects of that was human sacrifice Gods were upset if you sacrifice a couple of slaves or Captures or children because the Carthaginians used to do that all the time their own children and they have them smile before they killed them So it was brutal brutal, but the Carthaginians they would commit suicide at the drop of a hat because their Basic idea was if you screwed up while you're wrong time to kill yourself. There's no hope for you So it's very common idea, you know, and the Japanese still practice that before World War two as well It's like so so anyways so the whole idea of sacrifice pretty damn dark You know and and Kessler regarded as evidence that the human race was basically insane like in a fundamental Biological manner that was not fixable. So it was like the ultimate in original sin theorizing You know That was written when everybody was all shorted out about the fact that we were gonna blow ourselves up with nuclear weapons And so the idea that humans were basically insane Which it's not a bad theory, you know, you can even say we're we've been driven insane by the nature of being anyways You make sacrifices to Kelly They're often blood sacrifices Now that's kind of interesting because one of the things that you might notice about what Kelly represents Which you might say is the predatory like almost Diabolical side of nature, you know the part of nature that's really working hard at doing you in is that it does seem to thrive on blood And so there's an idea here, which is if you give the damn thing what it wants Maybe it will leave you alone But there's a more sophisticated idea right beneath that because what happens if you sacrifice to Kelly is she turns into her opposite And her opposite is well, it's the opposite of this. It's benevolent nature It's the kind of nature that That environmentalists believe in, you know, it's like nature as French impressionist landscape It's not the ski mosquitoes and Guinea worms and cancer and crocodiles and gangrene. It's you know, it's It's a sunny day in that old-growth forest where you know Disney deer bouncing around smiling at you, you know And that's nature too because nature is what gives and if you use the feminine the feminine Symbolism I mean your mother is certainly someone who could be an absolutely horrific force and that often happens to infants But by the same token, she's the bearer of everything that pulls you into life You know when her her contact with you or her physical contact or ability to play with you The fact that she looks at you the fact that she feeds you directly from her body It's like that's the whole opposite of Kelly the destroyer and they're both elements of the feminine and Part of the reason I think that it's the feminine per se that came to represent the destructive element of nature as well as the positive element is that men Experience women in many ways as the destructive element of the feminine because men are always being rejected by women and women are nature because nature is what selects you to reproduce and So the answer for most women to most men is you're a nice enough guy But there's no way your genes should propagate themselves into the future, you know And that's as harsh a judgment as can possibly be rendered if you watch crumb for example, which I would highly recommend It's full of great mother symbolism is he's he describes himself as someone who's so much of a loser He's not even in the dominance hierarchy, you know, he's not at the bottom He's outside, you know, so he describes himself as someone for it was especially him and his older brother It was virtually impossible for them to even conceive of the idea that they might ask a girl in high school It wasn't that they would get refused. It was that it was inconceivable that they could even do it That's where they were in the dominance arc So of course from and who has a mother to go with it, you know All his females are like these extremely physically powerful bird-headed Goddesses more or less and he construes himself as this little warp thing That's you know, sort of coloring at their feet and it's deeply embedded in him and no wonder Given his circumstances. It's no wonder. He actually did a remarkable job of Developing himself in a productive manner, right given what he had to look at. But anyways Yeah, he has sacrificed to Cali and he's bring forth its opposite now it's I Was once I thought I thought I understood I thought that I had come to understand the idea of sacrifice I think I figured this out about 15 years ago It just blew blew me over when I figured it out because it had always been viewed either as a kind of an epithenomena Or something that's pathological, but it's not it's the most Remarkable it's one of the most remarkable conceptual discoveries that human race has ever made Because what it meant was we started to figure out that if you gave something what it wanted If you gave something something of value Then you could turn it into something that might be beneficial to you so it's the it's it's the concomitant of Delayed gratification Because delayed gratification is a sacrifice. So, you know the the the marshmallow experiment, right? Okay, so you get these little kids and you torture them.     So so it's not like delayed gratification is The solution for everything it's not but sometimes it's the solution. So what do you do? You make a sacrifice now and the idea is it will pay off in the future so then you think about that in archetypal forms it means that You forgo something of value now. It's a sacrifice. You let go of it and the deal is If you let go of it better things will happen to you in the future And you know, no other animal has figured that out. Well squirrels, maybe You know because they store nuts, but I don't really believe that they I Think it's fundamentally an instinct, you know, you know what I mean I don't think they generalize from that idea. They do act it out But I don't think they've generalized from it. They haven't turned it into a concept And so the concept here is the world is Constituted such that it has a tremendously destructive element, but if you can barter with that properly Then you can flip it over and the part of it that's positive will reveal itself.  You might think Why is that? And one answer is well, that's just what it's like But then that's a problem because that's not just what it's like You know that the opposite is there and you might say well, where the hell is that? Like why is it hiding its face from me? And one answer is I Reality is cannot be contended with you. That's one answer But that's like you're depressed and hopeless to do that. It's like you're done. Here's another answer You might be doing something wrong and then you might think well What would it mean to be doing something wrong?  And so maybe that's why the rule is when you're making sacrifices to Kelly That is don't sacrifice the low-quality junk You sacrifice the stuff that you're attached to because if things aren't going right it could be But it's because you're attached to the wrong things now. That's interesting That's starting to get very interesting because that means that people are starting to think Maybe my attitude has something to do with this Something I can change maybe it's not just the factual nature of the extra the world It's something I can contend with and dance with and maybe if I readjusted my moral schema The probability is kind of low that Kelly will be there all the time And it'll be pretty high that her positive counterpart shows up. So then the question might be how do we set make the Sacrifices that are necessary to organize our schema of interpretation and behavior such that when we implemented in the world Reality shines its positive face on us and not its negative face And like that's a incredibly complicated problem, right? I mean that's like that's a problem You need to be trying to figure out an animal for that matter forever You know wasn't till there were human beings that we started to get some conceptual Representation of it, but then the other thing too is you guys are all doing that You have a big bet going with nature and the bet is Make some sacrifices right now or maybe your parents are making sacrifices on your behalf, and what's the bet the bet is? It'll be worth it But what does that mean? It means that if you make the proper sacrifices you discipline yourself you don't You're not too disillusioned with your resources you pay attention and you wait Your life will be better That's pretty cool because it might be true and if it's true that none of this is a delusion or delusion It's just low resolution first pass Representation That's smart. And so you know from a peugeotian perspective. Well, what do you do before you understand something? You act it out And so the people that are making sacrifices. They're acting out this idea. Do they know the idea? And it's what you mean by no No, they're acting it out. They're dramatically representing it. Is that knowledge? Well, it's a form of knowledge Is it the kind of abstract knowledge that we're talking about right now? No But it's the immediate precursor to that you don't get from the phenomenon to the articulation without running it through some bodily representations and some drama and this is so damn complicated that you know You probably couldn't get to it till you had civilizations that were pretty damn good and lots of people thinking about this all the time You know and so the person who came up with this they would have experienced it as a religious revelation It's like what's the nature of reality?  You should be unable to forget it Because it's a it's an absolute. It's a stellar stroke of genius It's a real revelation and it sets the whole human race on the path to Making the proper sacrifices so that the fire and the bugs and the insects and the snakes and the tigers Stay the hell away and a good thing It's a good thing and then maybe now and then you know the world's configured so that it's beneficial to us


I'm sitting here with Mr. Anthony dream Johnson himself founder and CEO of 21 studios He's been doing this for 10 years now to kick ass event change my life and change the life of I think it must be in the thousands now Well millions millions Hundreds of thousands of people probably really So yeah pleasure to be here and so Anthony just got off the stage Gave probably The most ballsy talk I've ever witnessed in my life And yeah, okay, I'll take that. Yeah What you did like we can't get Two into what you talked about today. We can touch on it. Maybe we're gonna do some Yeah, it's up to you like whatever you want to talk about ask the question. I guess yeah, I'm gonna ask I'm always gonna ask a question. Yeah, so Basically during that talk I was I was going through so many different emotions. Okay, and I Think that was a reflection actually of and what I admire about the talk was your ability To take emotion away Look at the facts and you've actually studied What you were talking about really thought about it and you've done this in a very short period of time Yeah, four months sixteen weeks. I mean you pause it for a second. Yeah, I didn't take the emotion out of it. Oh, you didn't ever do Yeah, I don't see any conflict in my philosophy between reason and emotion. So emotions fuel They dry what I'm doing. Yeah, they don't guide it. Yeah, that's what you're talking. I think I felt that yeah Yeah, that's why I was going through all these emotions. Yeah, and motions are important. Yeah, you know seriously And I was like I really wanted to ask you a question. Yeah, I've got a list of questions however, I was like I've got a really good question that is actually something that you didn't mention But it's a piece of advice you gave me when we did a podcast together So if you guys want to listen to that podcast, it's on 21 university comm and you can sign up right now Watch that talk. Yeah, watch the podcast. It's out. It's live and you get a free month of 21 University What is 21 University Anthony for the guys who don't sure. Yeah video streaming service for men It sounds like small Netflix that we built a Netflix for the 21 studios and the 21 convention the 21 convention Podcasts and all these different shows we have going on So it's a whole little community and video streaming service where you get all over videos with no ads Super early access by like six months sometimes before it goes on YouTube and a whole bunch of exclusive content like the exclusive show He's talking about and exclusive speeches from the 21 convention that are not on YouTube anymore Not because usually I want to take them down sometimes the speakers come come to me like years later And it's like a speech from six years ago. It's great, but as I can moving on in my life I'm not doing coaching anymore. Can you take it down? I used to be like just no But now I'm like all right as long as we can still use it people can still see it in some way Then we'll take it down off YouTube So we've kind of got a big archive now I'm 21 University of speeches that speakers have wanted to pull from YouTube that I can watch them there And the first month's free like McDonald mentioned I call you McNally like yeah, and even after it's not free It's only 15 bucks a month.   Yeah, if you have any questions about 21 University email me That's Mike at 21 University comm more than happy to answer any questions You have about membership and yeah, we'd love to connect on you there I mean, it's gonna be a big part of 21 you going forward is the Community aspect of it and the chat room. We're gonna get the campus the chat room the chat room. Oh, yeah The chat that's it. So yeah, so before I get into like all my personal questions A lot of them too you could do them on the Q&A panel if you want, I mean, yeah I mean one of them we've an hour on that so that's pretty solid I'm gonna ask this one now because actually I'll save this one for the Q&A panel It's so specific to the the theme of this event, which is for young men under 21 Yep, and it's that's what I was going back to the podcast. You mentioned something about it Okay, and I'll just drop it in there and it's Monkey branching. Oh, yeah, I'm he branching. So let's not get into it now We'll do in that Q&A. Let me say this on it I thought initially that's what that's a lot of some of I talked about triangulation the speech that kind of what it's kind of a monkey branching is So that's what I thought it was too for a little while before I discovered Psychopathy and the more serious disorders. So monkey branching is what normal girls do a lot of time.  It's it's because it's within 10. Yes. Yeah, lucky branching It's more like they don't know what to do and they don't want to be insecure. Yeah, they hang on to two men at the same time Yeah, triangulation specifically to cause cognitive harm Cognitive dissonance make you start doubting yourself the relationship build insecurities neediness like that So it's within it's monkey branching with like malicious intent basically So I said during the Q&A, that'd be yeah, yeah, yeah, it really really really will be I was like suck these You could speak that a lot. Yeah, it's a shame that we ran over because I was like This is the perfect question. It's not for me, but for the guys So my biggest takeaways from that were like taking the topic out of it was That Fundamentally it was about seeking the truth. Oh, yeah, there was no Malice or intent in what you were doing. Correct. It was all about seeking the truth and Then what what you've built the 21 convention and 21 studios and everything that you've done is built this Almost I guess support network who all believe in your mission. Yep, and which was not intentional Yeah, just did it happened because of that Because of that all the shit that happened to you Like your bounce back ability right now is Like I've never seen that in anyone and it was not my intention. Yeah, it's I realized last night I was like, yeah, it's like I was talking to think David Tien or Mary Francis Socrates fiance, I think and I said it during the speech to you It was like what psychopaths do is they try to take you up to like a 10-story building, right? We're the top building and throw you out of the top window. That's what she did That's what the psychopaths do they discard in a grand finale, but in my case. Yeah I had like a huge gigantic football size foot pillow on the ninth floor. So get thrown out Bam right there. Can we just quickly because we're gonna talk about this We've been more deaf and I don't want people to jump to the wrong conclusion Oh, yeah, I'm talking about so for those on Facebook and on YouTube Anthony, can you like give us a quick definition of what you mean by a psychopath? Yeah, sure great That'd be a great thing to talk about. Yeah a psychopath is someone is in my understanding in my belief of it Currently there's some debate on it, right? Yeah, a psychopath is someone who has some meaningful extent of the genetic disorder in the brain The brains work differently MRI scans have shown this it's been studied extensively in prisons and stuff like that So it's a human being who is fundamentally Broken and has always been that way and it's an incurable condition too and what the effects are the most immediate one is zero empathy Meaning they're colder by a thousand miles than the coldest human being you've ever met They're truly cold-blooded So psychopaths also are not they can be like, you know fictional characters like Dexter or like Hannibal Lecter or real-life Ted Bundy stuff like that But more than that you need to understand that psychopaths are not psychotic Psychotic means a mental break with reality. It means you're out of your mind. Who's bananas, right? Psychopaths are not legally and clinically. They're saying 100% They're not they look crazy to us the shit they do right like I talked about But they're not crazy we can call it crazy, but only conventionally in that in the colloquial sense of the word I think this term would be can I also get you to define sure because you mentioned the word crazy.  Yeah, so what what is what is like Sasha's like? Yeah, I'm really pretty cray-cray But what is like that's the fine crazy right now what it means to you so people get the understanding of What's the difference between like a psychopath and a crazy person a psychotic? Yeah, that's what I'm getting Yeah, we don't need to use the word crazy. I'm just kind of joking. I want to use it Psychotic yeah again means mental break with reality.    Who's gonna push the button? Psychopath no empathy.  They also are jealous of this So there's a huge contradiction there for them because they don't feel it which is hard to understand But yeah, it's like if you can imagine somebody walking in right now and cut chopping your arm off They would just do it calmly and not care Truly like Marilyn like I mentioned with Ted race's little brother when she learned about that She didn't really have an emotional response to it Nothing you could even see or as I was horrified to hear that his little brother was chopped into pieces and raped and murdered You know brutally basically the her thought process along with every other psychopath would be So what?  Yeah, absolutely.  I know So good to go back to your talk. I mean, this is the first talk. I've got to Watch full in full full. Did you see the one in Australia on romantic love? Yeah, yeah, I got I mean, it's the first one I've seen in full at this event. Oh Yeah, cuz we didn't stream it. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, so it's the first one I've seen yeah, so I haven't been doing all this other stuff I'm doing a good job. Yeah, thanks, man. And the Like I said the emotions I was going through that was There's no way to describe it. And then there was this one moment when I don't know if you saw me like you up on the stage I don't know if you like in your zone. I called you up. I need that one point. Yeah. Yeah, and then It hit me. I'm like, oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. I've got to say this I've got to say it. I've got to say it. I was like, I didn't see it. I was right And I was like, I just had to write it down and tell the two guys next to me max and Rob said beside me I was like, I have to write this. Yeah, and what I wrote was this It's probably gonna be backwards. I don't know if you can see that. I have to read it to them dude Cuz I don't know how I let you read it. Oh, I Have a friend who is doing a PhD in this I was like up at the yeah, right? Sure. So this dude is named Simon He should call me up. I Live with him. I traveled with him around New Zealand for a month the whole time.  That was his message. They just don't then I succeeded It's extremely disturbing to realize this. That's what they say in this book when you when you figure this out Yeah, it is extremely fucking disturbing and you realize that human beings or at least they look like him They need to walk around like this and This is this thing like You you're watching at home you've got to actually Listen to this because my one of my really good friends who I live with and travel with was telling me this and I was not listening Because I didn't understand it and I didn't I Did try a wee bit to understand it But I didn't take it seriously because I didn't know how it would affect me and then Obviously, I find found out all about what happened with you Anthony on Skype And you and and you were telling me on Skype and I was like This is a joke. This was like because Because it was so raw at the time. I was like in my mind.  I was like Are people gonna get it like right off the bat and that's what you did so good in this talk you like You presented it in a way that was you know about the facts and you I really try to make it. Yeah, it was it was like yeah And it that was that's so difficult to do like after a breakup and you were able to do that So well like I said to a break up with a psychopath or other toxic person is not normal break up Yeah, like it's really really different like some breakups get really really bad But it's much different and psychopaths do they be permitted they were the thing I've been thinking about this for years I have a video I didn't show you guys we filmed in Australia merely interviews me You can actually see her setting up Planting seeds to end the relationship and control the frame. It's insane. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's 2012 did Four years ago almost three and a half years. That's three and a half years ago. Yeah, and and and so the crazy thing is Talking about crazy Even after that Skype conversation and we talked a few times on Skype, you know, you told me the story. I Still didn't yeah.  Yeah, I Got the PhD. I got the scholarship and I'm gonna be working with the number one guy in the field That's Rob. Dr. Robert here. Yeah, I want to have him speak at the Mami convention. So I think we can get him That's there's a way in yeah, that's the way in he's all he should if I actually in contact with them Yeah, this should be female psychopaths are difficult to study because there's not that many of them in prison And never mind you never study in the wild so to speak and like we did or I did unintentionally so it's Yeah, it's a really unique opportunity because it's not a lot most second psychopathy books focus on like Business stuff for the violent stuff or men not women in a way. They're expressing a lot of time Which is through I think it's called histrionic personality disorder out of the cluster B set and that means sexuality attention seeking hyper sexuality lots of plastic surgery Basically just through sexuality and behaviors like related to that and of course as you can imagine a lot of female psychopaths are gonna leverage that Because they can't you know, merely couldn't get violent with me and abuse me that way. That's a no-go I have 60 pounds lean mass on her. It's not gonna happen And she knew I would defend myself call law enforcement, you know, whatever to take care of myself So that wasn't an option for whereas in reverse male psychopaths will get they get more violent because they can right They're in a abusive relationship or they're in a relationship with somebody who's not a psychopath Which they always will be will be physically abusive a lot of time on top of psychological stuff because they can be But when you're a male dating a female psychopath, it's much more difficult that to happen. It can no doubt Oh, don't know males men get beaten too man. No doubt.    He's like, oh really?    All right. Let's get some question a little bit Let's get into some questions. So I'm one from primitive OS and what's your name, dude? Let us know So he says Anthony, where do you want to take the 21 convention movement? What's your vision? Sure? Let's do that. So we just broke 100,000 subscribers a month and a half two months ago or something like that So in a very simple sense, I want to take it to more subscribers Specifically I want one million by Christmas 2019. So ended the decade by 2025 I want 10 million. So those are the goals I'm setting right now They're pretty good goals and I think we can hit them. I don't know if we will of course Yeah, I don't seem in the future, but that's the intent. That's what I want to do. That's what I want to do I think we can get there and of course if we miss the mark, you know, for example the million And what do we have 500,000 400,000 or something 800,000. I'm okay with that. I'm gonna bear it So just in that sense with YouTube, that's why I'm taking it that way more subscribers thousands and thousands more videos I Do have some secret plans in place that I'm gonna be seeking investors for and I've been working with a couple of speakers on over The years past two years so I can't reveal that right now But there is some serious stuff in motion that that's pretty cool And that would be a huge game-changer of this project every ends up taking off and being completed Yeah, beyond that I want to keep us the event all around the world especially in Florida right now We've a lot going on with that. We're gonna have the 10-year anniversary in Orlando July 2017 That's the plan right now. We'll come from this later That one do right here in this room to So I guess what I wanted to say to you listening at home is that? The biggest compliment you can give Anthony is to share the YouTube channel With someone who like or just share a video with you know You don't have to share it publicly on your Facebook page or your Twitter or anything like that the simple fact of telling Yeah, yeah What's what's more important is like if you watch a video and you think that your friend needs to hear this or see it like By by sharing that with them But even if you just show it one person that is that does make a massive impact because that's personal It's personal like Jacob says it make it personal. That's my partner. Yeah, Jacob's the guy where did you ever meet Jacob? No, I didn't but I heard about him. Yeah That's Austrian guy. He sounds like Arnold.  Yeah, I was I was meant to be going youtube.com forward slash 21 21 Yeah, so hit subscribe and you'll get all all the videos as they come out Let me get more and yeah, yeah I'm finished up to the vision for it where it's going. Yeah more events more speakers new speakers alumni speakers with better speeches Better events simpler events bigger events. Just keep doing more of everything we do always innovating always new shows Like the newest one now we have is 21 live the one I did with you recently You know the one for 21 University, but keep growing 21 University keep growing the events keep growing everything Just like in life. And then you know as an individual keep growing. You know, we're awesome. We're happy You know how we don't like have a name for this what we're doing right now. Oh, this is kind of like 21 live You know what it's like. I don't know. It's the dream lounge Yeah, I'll take that and I posted this on Facebook. Okay. Yeah, the dream lawn the little the dream lounge with Anthony dream Johnson And I tagged all things and I got a message from you, but I don't have Facebook app on my phone. That's cool I keep it off on purpose. Yeah. Yeah Probably for the best. Um So, yeah, that's crack head. Is that pretty much wrap up that question?  So that's technically the start date of the company And the first event was held July 2007. And yeah, the idea formed in July 2006 I first put it out there started operating as a sole priority ship business at that point, you know Spending some money here and there to research hotel rooms gas travel, you know stuff like that that's a 10 years now technically we've been running the company and Nine years of events so Ned and next year will be the 10-year anniversary. I'm gonna call it could have done this year, but The first one July 19th to the 21st 2007 I want to say I have to look it up. I'm pretty good with the history of the company Obviously, I'm not perfect. That's tough those dates. Yeah, so I hope that clears that up Matthew If you've got a question for Steve just submit it now and I'll try and ask it later So and the one from primitive OS question for you guys Which which are your major takeaways on Anthony's and Steve my other speeches well Anthony's I kind of touched on that You know, it's about seeking out the truth And really just thinking using your well There's a purpose to seeking out the truth when you're post Psychopathic sociopathic relationship. It's pathological like this Because you need to find the truth, right? There's a real legit purpose to this and a regular breakup you may or may not want to do that and there's reasons for that You might be finding the truth more and more of it.   That's what they do so the more you search for the truth and the more you study philosophy and the more you apply it to the events that transpired in their Relationship the more you can untangle them this book This green one is particularly helpful with that and untangling all the manipulative ultra fucked up ways as you treated me Right front speakers, you know, boldface treated them to and everyone. So it's just really educational to undo all that damage Seek out the truth. That's how you do that And there's a yeah with a relationship like that. There's a really specific purpose to it another thing you touched on and You might want to correct me if I got this wrong And it was about when you have high self-esteem That the weakness of that is that you have blind spots It's a specific blind spot.  You could go either way, right?  Yeah, you're so if like Sasha has this problem I think with he he's just coming around now to what happened with Merrily and he saw her He actually knew her the most at all the speakers probably him and soccer I don't know if he Spent a lot with Sasha so Sasha and his wife is to hang out me and Merrily a lot where they were the only married couple We knew so we'd always hang out they come to the house for a week or two twice through times a year We'd hang out all kinds of cool stuff, right? Whenever swap partners or anything one time he was kind of like hey, man. I'm like, I know we're not doing that but But yeah, so he had a difficult time though seeing that actual evil because he's so far from that too The tart his wife could see it. She's like, yeah She's been through a lot of psychological like therapy and stuff She could see it and Merrily much sooner than I could and much sooner than Sasha could and socrates too. Yeah So she mentioned some stuff to you Yeah, Reese's recently though Vince's like a few months before all blew up So yeah, you know way too little way too late and she didn't really know what to make of it either, right? Because she had never studied psychopathy. She studies psychology a little bit here and there and all this other stuff But psychopathy is very specific It's not like psychology is a huge field obviously, but this is very specific stuff So she saw something was really off. She didn't even know what to make of it. She's like something evil about her. I'm like She's great like knock on wood Psychopaths are incapable of change and I think that that is a good way to like basically Telephone versus psychopathy.  They're gonna they're gonna pretend to change. That's the problem Everything I do is lying everything they do is pretending so she pretended to change With her diet or their thoughts with their ideas It was always minimal, right? It was just enough to squeak by without getting caught that she wasn't really changing any positions or you know I mean and in vice versa, you know, so I wasn't proving And then she would just kind of pretend along with that one of the things I didn't mention that I wish I would have is that Socrates pointed out that she used my virtue and my morality as a shield or a shadow So she hid behind me. That's one of the ways you hit from the speakers too The speakers see me and they trust me and then with her she's basically kind of metaphorically standing behind me So it's hard for them to see her behind me because it cast a big shadow, right? Look what I'm doing with the event. I'm not like a speaker at the event.  So you mean like they wouldn't pass her you mean? They would talk to her and try to get to know her but she just kept she would just parrot what I did, right? And then they would think yeah, she must be just like Anthony. Wow, no wonder. They're so compatible, right? They're so they're really good at manipulation the change. It's difficult to see that until you understand it I'd be appreciating yourself on it. So they'll pretend they're master pretenders and manipulators and actors The reason is they don't feel almost any emotions.   And then we have a special name for them con artists, but I've just had this like massive What's it called like when you realize something epiphany epiphany, right? Yeah, real quick real quick because this is important and this might help uncover something. It's really cool. So When I attended when I volunteered at the Melbourne event in 2013 12 12 That was the first time we met yeah, and it was the first time and only time I have ever met your ex-wife Okay, in that moment Calling me do so if you want. Yeah At that time I had without doubt a lack of Self-esteem or low self-esteem okay hundred percent, which is the complete opposite To what I have sitting here with you guys right now Like that's 100% true. I had a myth. I recognize that through your work Good on self-esteem and all the Nathaniel Brandon stuff. Okay, and here's what's interesting About when you talked about high help high self-esteem you have blind spots So what happened leading up the month leading up to this event? I was working on not only the convention Not only my blog and podcast Not only am I consulting? juggling clients Family issues Parents are going through a breakup. Oh, yeah, you told me. Thank you And then I just started another company with two friends. Okay, so But I was doing all this stuff Real high self-esteem hundred percent confidence in everything that I was doing that the blind spot was I Was folk I didn't have one thing. I didn't have one direction I had I was spreading myself to Finn but in my mind I was like had such high self-esteem that I can do this I can do this and in my yeah in my mind like my friends recognize this and they try to tell me but I Didn't listen because I was like, I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna do this and then In my mind, I was I was saying This this is all gonna take off really soon and I'm gonna be like super not successful, but like It's gonna happen.  Oh, yeah, miss my flight car got vandalized in the same day Just like the same bad luck comes in freeze like everything that went wrong happened I found out my mum was on anti-depressants, which I was furious about like it just will all explode right my face Okay, and then my roommate comes in and he'd been like He knows the kind of stuff my beliefs and stuff like that Okay, but he came in the room because one thing I always say is a book I've read the one thing by Gary Keller check it out and the idea that is you should focus solely on one thing Like you've done with this convention. Good. Right. That is it me. I'm juggling five different things Currently still at that point and James walked in the room after I realized I've missed my flight by 12 hours He said Mike Use my own words against me held me accountable. He said Mike. What was your one thing for today? And I was like mate.  That was like the universe telling me slow down Right So that aside going back to when I had lack of self-esteem back in 2012. Good.  That isn't quite captured basically Because of my lack of self-esteem and she I felt like this energy in this power from her I didn't quite like and I wasn't I was not comfortable because it reflected on my lack of self-esteem Straight like this is a strange thing to talk about psychopaths to have an extreme lack of self-esteem. Yeah, zero So maybe Basically what I'm saying is like I avoided her like the plague like spoke to her maybe once and then something This is awesome But this is like it like so if you've got high self-esteem you have a blind spot if you've got low self-esteem Maybe you're a more aware of danger Little bit. Yeah, that's possibility. Yeah, this is this is something that we're on a summoner thing That's cool. Maybe Well, she's also not she wasn't preying on you so she also wasn't trying to put the act up with you as much She also didn't see as much of a threat. Yeah volunteer. Yeah, and you live in Australia Yeah, so that's also my one might be why she wasn't concealing it as much the threat level with me and the speaker She concealed it. Yeah, that's 100% but you as a volunteer lived across the world You were very low threat. Yeah with Katina the guy who's just in there.  It was talking about feminism But he's focusing all her issues on that and childhood trauma.  Not even trying to form a relationship with them Because she didn't need to let him in as much She she let Socrates get closer because she had the manipulate in more because he was a higher threat Okay, same with Greg's one each and you know Steve Maynard, she had a specific relationship with him Sasha and her got kind of closer But always Sasha noticed the conversations were always very shallow No matter what he tried to get deeper he could never get deeper conversations with her He knows he was bumping into either she was letting him in as close as closest He needed to get but not as deep as he wanted to go and that's where he got stuck at So she basically got everyone stuck at a certain position and kept them there as long as she could It's it's kind of like like chess, right? I don't think she ever mapped any of this out on paper, but this is what she did in her head Each person had to be manipulated and controlled in a specific way Okay, master manipulators.  I did not get it So yeah, it's super super super super important Trying to wing it and think you won't bump into one, you know for an intimate relationship throughout your life is Not going to happen.  You're you're meeting them and you don't know it Anywhere from one to two percent of the population of psychopaths and another 13 percent or other forms of cluster b Including sociopaths and a social personality disorder Histrionic borderline narcissists all this crap. That's really really toxic really give psychopaths to run for their money So it's super important. Uh, it's psychological self-defense at the convention We also talk about physical self-defense like with bravo and at achon at achon It's the same thing you gotta learn how to defend yourself and You gotta learn how to defend yourself from this kind of trauma because otherwise you're not even going to see it coming Like I talked about in the speech Psychological abuse is more sinister than physical abuse and violence because you can't see it Physical violence is at least honest. You can see it. It's right there. People know about it And like I mentioned law enforcement can get involved and family and friends and all that But psychologically it's much more difficult. Cool if Vernon swings by at 6 p.m. Yeah, cool. Awesome. Yeah, it'd be good for you to meet him. Yeah, all right guys. Yeah, roll out.  Yeah, that was awesome. Thanks for doing this. Yeah. Yeah, that's great. Thanks.


received a SARA grant which we are very appreciative of and what we're going to be doing is going to be demonstrating what the SARA grant was able to provide for us. Well the red maple is a byproduct of a lot of logging operations here in Wisconsin and so we wanted to do the study to see if it would make a good alternative for shiitake mushrooms. So our part of the study is what would a small scale grower do versus our partner who is field in forest that's a commercial operation. So they are doing, and I can show you the paperwork, they're doing 20 logs of red maple fall harvest through the winter till the first sap flow. So every two weeks they were harvesting 20 logs and inoculating them two weeks later. So that's one of our controls. This was our other control so we've got each pile is a different species of wood. So we actually took 25 logs of each because what we found in our logs from last year is that there's you know there's a little bit of variability in size, there's also variability in the quality of the wood. So we wanted to have a bigger spread of possible woods. And so each pile we did red oak and white oak, which oak is the preferred wood for shiitakes to grow on. We also did the, and the grant itself was the red maple fall harvest, spring harvest so once the sap is flowing in the wood. And then we did, just for our own curiosity too, we did an aspen, we did a hickory, and we did a sugar maple. So we actually tried to have a bigger variety of woods to look at. Basically what we have in our forest we wanted to see if we could do that. So these were inoculated and we, like I said the fall harvest was done in December, the spring harvest was done about February when the sap first started to flow in the wood. And then we tried to do as much of the heart inoculation, you know, every Saturday for a couple of weeks, weather dependent, so that we tried to get it as close to what a normal small scale grower would do. A small scale grower is about 500 logs. This one's already been pre-drilled, but I'll just show you we, one of the tools that we recommend that you use, and also Field in Forest who's our partner in the SAIR proposal also uses these. It's an angle grinder with a adapted bit, and it makes the job so much faster.  And then after we've done all of those to that, then we would move it to the next station. So we just use a little crock pot, warm it up, and then we're just covering the holes.


Abstract Alternative Polydenylation, APA, is a process whereby different lengths of polyadenylation are used for the same gene, resulting in differential protein production. This process has been shown to be regulated by both CIS and transacting factors, but its extent of divergence during evolution and the relative contribution of each have not yet been explored. In this study, researchers compared the APA patterns of two mouse strains, C57BL, 6J and SPIETDIJ, and found that 3,747 out of 24,721 polydenylation sites showed significant divergence between the two strains. By analyzing the allele-specific data from F1 hybrid mice, they were able to show that most of these differences were due to CIS regulatory effects. Further analysis of the sequences near the CIS Divergent Polydenylation sites revealed that the presence of a poly-U tracked in the upstream region can lead to negative modulation of the polydenylation site usage.

you think that Bill is going to land in Atlanta? Um, it feels like with every day, like that is. I'd say the possibility of it isn't strengthening. It's just I don't think it's about I think Arthur Blank wants Bill to be his coach. I think it's everything else, right? So it's about your. To get back with the football side because you got to remember like you're not talking about like if you are gonna do this right, and you are gonna like detonate so many different parts of your football operation and your Arthur Blank. Are you doing it for two years for three years for four years? So I think that's what this is coming down to. It's not money blanks willing to pay him and it's not whether or not blank wants him to be the coach. I firmly believe that Arthur Blank wants Bill to be his I think more than anything else, it's all of the different people in that building and how it's going to affect all of those people and maybe those people's input with blank and what it would look like with bill and it's interesting because I go back to November, you know, they had somebody asked me, I think it was cap over all for 24 36 months. Right. It's like a short car lease. It was interesting because cap like the show me and Michael do on Sundays like a cap actually asked me, he's like, can you look into Bill's market? This is in November, right?  And what I got back was he's going to have a strong market to be an executive. So somebody would definitely hire him and bring him in as like an executive vice president of football operations, help them set things up, right? Somebody would definitely hire him to become the head coach. But would somebody hire him and give him everything he has here in New England? That was the one where it was like, I don't know if anybody's going to give him that, you know, like, I don't know if anybody's anybody's going to turn over their entire football operation. The way that it's set up in New England and say, Bill, go because that doesn't really exist anywhere else now.  If you're Arthur Blank, and it's, I think right now, if I had to just base on everything that I've heard over the last week, I think like for this to work, Bill would probably need to meet Arthur in the middle a little bit on that. What's the middle? And I don't know what the middle is. Maybe it's, It's probably keeping McKay. I can't see Bill working on McKay. It might be the, but it could be the reporting structure, you know what I mean? Like, okay, who reports to who?

Okay, it falls to me now to cover an introduction from a higher level point of view of the STM32EU5 family and some of the benefits and new features that you will find within the STM32EU5. The STM32 has been around since around 2007-2008, so quite a few years now. It's been a very successful family for ST and for our customers. We now have around 60,000 customers worldwide for the STM32EU and we've shipped around 6 billion of them since its launch. So very popular family, very well received by the market. The STM32EU5 series follows on in a long line of ultra low power microcontrollers and is the latest generation. It's on 40 nanometer technology, which is the second product we've launched at 40 nanometer and it moves on with the ultra low power in terms of improving ultra low power performance whilst also increasing run time performance, so actual DMIPS available to you. Okay, so it continues with the theme as I say of our strength with ultra low power with general purpose microcontrollers. We're launching it now to you all to play with today. It will go to mass market at the start of next year, right in January time. It is in production, we are currently ramping production, so it will be available to the mass market in January. It continues as I say the ultra low power theme. So we started with the STM32L1, which was the first ultra low power cortex M on the market and then we moved forward throughout the families with 2014, we launched the L0 which was an entry level low cost ultra low power device and then we started looking at improving performance both in terms of power consumption and also actually in raw performance of the micro itself. So with the L4 we introduced a cortex M4 which achieved number one status in the ULP bench benchmarking for ultra low power micros and we continued that with the L4 plus improving performance and with the L5 we introduced an M33 truss zone enabled ultra low power product and the U5 follows on from that again it's an M33 product. All STM32s are covered by our 10 year longevity commitment as shown on the slide here. This means that every January we refresh the commitment. It is a rolling commitment, it's not from the date of launch, it is a rolling commitment. Every year we refresh and continue to offer to support the product for at least 10 years. So it is at least 10 years and if I take an example from the non ultra low power range which is the STM32F1 family which we launched in 2007, we still offer 10 year longevity on that. So a significant life cycle for the STM32s. As I say the STM32 U5 is the new flagship for STM32 ultra low power microcontrollers. It takes a huge step forward in terms of performance and builds on the ultra low power capabilities as well. So again as you can see on the slide we now have a ULP mark of 535 which is a large step from the previous 370 of the L5. So a big step forward in terms of power performance and also a step forward in DMIPS in terms of raw power of the core. So two great benefits there, both low power and performance. It is going to be a wide ranging family. You know with many STM32s we have each of the series is quite a large family in its own right. The STM32 U5 will be no different. Once the full family is launched we will have anything from 128k flash all the way through to 4 megs of flash and multiple packages as we will see in a few slides time. Right now we are launching the 1 meg and 2 meg flash variants so that is what you are using today. But we will be expanding the family to cover this full range of flash options so that you can find a product that will suit your needs in terms of memory capacity. The STM32 U5 is suitable for many many applications as with all ultra low power micros that we do. Particularly we are targeting it at wellness or fitness or lifestyle type things you know activity trackers, GPS products that kind of thing. But also you can find uses for it within metering whether that is gas, water or electricity meters. You should be able to find a use there. The added security and the ultra low power features are a great benefit to in the metering area. It is also suitable for sensors, industrial sensors. You know maybe where you have a limit on the power, the example picture there being a smoke sensor where often they are powered by a loop. And there is a very strict limit on the amount of power that the devices can take. The ultra low power products that we have including the STM32 U5 can help greatly there. Things like medical devices where you have handheld devices which are battery powered. And you use it to get maximum usage out of that battery and not be changing the battery on a regular basis. Especially where it is an important device like an insulin pump or a glucose meter. You know you need longevity of battery so the STM32 U5 can really help there. And finally with the added security and ultra low power we can target things like mobile payment devices. So mobile PLS terminals for example. In terms of the features available like any other STM32, it is very fully featured. There are a lot of integrated peripherals associated with the STM32 U5. Here more than ever we've packed in a lot of features, the typical features that you would expect to find within the STM32. Such as the two mega samples ADC, 12 and 14 bit ADCs, DAX, comparators, op-amps. Those are the things you would expect to find. Then more enhanced connectivity with things like USB on the go. STIO and MMSE for external memories. Octospy again for external memories. And here we have two octospyres available. Lots of I2C's, SPI's etc. So again exactly as you would expect on an STM32. Moving over continuing the theme on external connectivity. We have the FSMC interface allowing you to connect displays and memories to it. There are plenty of timers in there like any other STM32. We have the camera interface, the touch sensing controller. And then if we look on the digital side and on the enhanced security side, where we've been improving security on the devices. We have 256 bit AES, we have SHA-1, SHA-256, true random number generator, public key authentication available. Then we have serial audio interfaces. We have MDF and ADF which are dedicated hardware peripherals to accelerate mathematical and trigametric functionalities and also audio decoding and that kind of thing. So previously the MDF, you might have seen on other families, it called Cordic. This is an enhancement from that, the next generation, the MDF. Down the central spine of the chart here, you have the core features. So we have the Cortex M33 core running 160 megahertz, which gives us a step up from the previous M33 ultra low power products that we have. We have the floating point unit, we have the memory protection unit. We do have trust zone available as well within the device so you can enhance your security that way and in the embedded trace module. Then looking at some of the high performing features, we have the LPDMA, we have the FMAC and Cordic and we have the ART accelerator. The ART accelerator being effectively a cache for accelerating code and for graphics, we have the crowbar. As I say, on the first products up to two megs of flash, it is dual bank flash so you can do read while write and up to 786K of SRAM. In terms of the new features, specifically new features that we're going to talk about today. The STM32 U5 has a new device called LPBAM, so Low Power Background Autonomous Mode, which allows the peripherals or allows the STM32 U5 to buffer data from peripherals whilst the core is asleep and only wake the core up. When necessary or on certain triggers that you can pre-define. So peripherals like I2C or the SPI interfaces or the ADCs can be gathering data in low power modes and buffering it up into the SRAM and only wake up the core when the action is complete. These can be chained as well, so you can have a chain of events required to happen before the core is woken up. In terms of the low power modes, we've introduced a new stop three mode. Previously we had stop one, stop two. We've introduced stop three mode, which allows you to configure the amount of SRAM that you want to retain in that stop mode. We still have traditional stop two mode, which gives full retention of all the RAM. That obviously takes a certain amount of power to configure to retain the memory and you may not want to retain all memory while your device is in stop mode. So we've introduced a new stop level, which allows you to tailor the amount of SRAM that you want to retain to your particular application. In terms of security, we've been enhancing microcontroller security throughout as we launch more and more products. STM32U5 is no different. We will reach PSA level three and CSIP level three for this device. These are independently verified attack tested assurances which allow you to... So you can be confident in the security. At the end of the day, it is still a general purpose microcontroller, but they are becoming more and more resilient to things like side channel attacks and that kind of thing. So we're improving the cryptography to support, as I said there, side channel AES. So dedicated AES designed to protect against side channel attacks. Public key authentication, traditional AES as well. So you're aware, in protecting against side channel attacks with AES, there is more work involved. More actions involved on the micro side. So doing things like encryption or decryption with that cell take longer than traditional AES. So we provide both so that you can... If you need performance, you can utilize the standard AES, but if you need specific security, a higher level of security, you can use the side channel resilient AES. We do have the true random number generator in there, as we have for many, we have a share in there as well. And the crypto lib that we have available, so the software library that drives all the crypto features has been CAVP certified. So I know that's important for certain applications. In terms of wanting to isolate your code, you can do that. We have secure peripherals, we have secure DMA, and we also have obviously trust zone as well, which again allows you to separate your secure and non-secure environments. We've introduced a new level of protection against the JTAG or serial wide debug interface, the RDP, so-called read protect. We now have an increased level of protection, and it is now password protected in addition to being OTP protected as well. So there are a number of levels you can set it to. On the memory protection side, we have OTP, we have hide protect feature, which allows code to only be visible at certain times, in particular things like your boot ROM, that can be visible and readable, whilst it is booting, obviously it needs to be readable to be executed. But once the main application is loaded, it then becomes invisible. So it cannot be read, it can't be accessed at all. So there's no chance of accessing that code at a later date. Then we have write protect, read and read protect on the flash available, I've already covered read protect. We have the traditional memory protection unit allowing you to segment the memories and protect different accesses, depending on memory regions that can be configured. And in terms of the external flash, if you're connected to the external flash to the OctoSpy interface, that can be on the fly decrypted. So you can have your, if you have external code or external assets in external flash, they can be encrypted and only decrypted within the micro. We've improved tampering to include active tamper and also added voltage and temperature monitoring tamper within the device. So here we're protecting against intrusion by affecting the runtime environment or environmental areas. So we can monitor that as well. And then as part of the ecosystem, we have trusted firmware for Cortex-M available. We have secure boot. We can do secure firmware install. And the device has hardware unique keys as well. So a quick summary on the unique features or the new features for the STM32U5. Improving low power consumption with features like LPDMA. Being able to program the amount of RAM to be retained. Improved STM PS, we didn't cover that in a slide specifically, but there are part numbers with and without external SNPS power support to improve overall power consumption if required. Improved and higher security with things like hardware unique keys. Improving read protection with improved regression with password features. Improving safety with ECC available on the flash and SRAM. Improving the data storage. So we have 100K cycles for 512K bytes of the flash. So if you need to do EPROM emulation type activities, that helps greatly. And then improved ADC. So the addition of a 14-bit ADC. So in terms of the overall offer, what we have to offer you in terms of part numbers, et cetera. As I said today, we are launching with two different memory configurations. So one megabyte of flash or two megabytes of flash, both with 786K of SRAM. That portfolio will be expanded both upwards towards 4 megs of flash and downwards towards 128K of flash. That will come in the coming months and year. But for now we're launching with these two memory sizes. It's available in multiple packages, eight packages as it says there, QFNs, QFPs and BGAs. So anything from 48 pins all the way through to 169 pins. So you have good choices for your, depending on the IO, the amount of IO you need. And like with many SM32s, we offer it with and without hardware crypto. So the hardware crypto features I've talked about in the previous slides, they are optional. So if you don't need security, you don't have to have them. And we have part numbers with and without those features. So that ends up giving you quite a full roadmap, quite a lot of part numbers to choose from for your particular application. So there should be something in there to fit your application, whether that's with or without encryption, with or without the external or internal SNPS support. There are any options available to you. When it comes to the ecosystem for development and prototyping, et cetera, like with all SM32s, we have a range of boards available. Starting on the left hand side, we have the evaluation board. This is a big board, fully featured. Lots of physical connectors for testing many of the peripherals available to you to make it slightly easier to connect. As we move to the center, we have the traditional discovery kit. So here targeting, usually the discovery kits target an example application and here we're targeting an example cloud connectivity. So we can have things like as well as the SM32U5 and connectors for things like USB, et cetera. We also have external connectivity. So Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, et cetera, to allow external connectivity to the board. And finally, the simplest and easiest potentially to prototype with is the nuclear board. That's the board you are playing with today. So a board with the 144 pin part on there allowing you to connect to all of the GPIOs so you can wire out to any of your GPIOs and connect for prototyping. All of the boards, whichever it is you choose all of the boards have the integrated ST link so you don't need any external debugger to program or debug them. All you need is a USB cable and you can get started straight away. And in terms of getting started software that's available, the development environment that's available is all free of charge all downloadable from our website as you will have found already because you've had to install a large amount of it already for this workshop. But it is freely available, free to use. The drivers are free to use. As are many of the ecosystem components associated with SM32s. So things like not only things like the software you can use free of charge but things like taking the schematics and the Gerbers, etc. You can use those on a royalty free basis. So if you want to copy our schematic for a particular or a particular part of the schematic or the layout or anything like that, it's all free to use it makes it much simpler for you to get your design up and running. So with the ecosystem you may you've downloaded part of it. In the IDE you have the drivers available for the U5. What you may not have noticed or be aware of is everything else associated with it. So you have our CUBE IDE. As part of CUBE IDE integrated into it is CubeMX but CubeMX if for your development environments when you're back in the office you use a different IDE. We do have CubeMX as a standalone product which allows you to do all the configuration and generate start-up code and projects for a number of third party IDs and tools. So if you don't use Cube IDE if you use another you can probably generate the project from CubeMX for your environment. When it comes to programming we have the standalone programmer that allows you to program your own boards in a standalone fashion so you may have a need for someone just to program boards but doesn't need all the overhead of the CUBE IDE etc. Installing so that you can use CubeProgram. On a runtime point of view we have SM32CubeMonitor enabling you to create a monitoring environment specific to your application to understand how it is behaving at runtime monitor registered memory etc. and have chains of monitoring setup so you can look for specific things if you need to. If you haven't already looked within the SM32Cube5Cube package that you've installed there is quite a lot in there there is the drivers so you have the HAL drivers in there obviously for the SM32Cube5 but you also have middlewares and you have example user applications and example code all within that package available to you so if you're struggling to work out how to drive a particular peripheral there will be an example within that package of how to do it so you can go and get that example and look at it but you will have installed it by downloading from the website or from within CUBE IDE itself or it came to you as part of the package for the workshop but just for it so you're aware the CUBE packages are all supported within GitHub as well they are available on GitHub and so there you will find the latest fixes etc we're maintaining it through GitHub to provide early visibility to fixes which maybe would take some time to come out when we're waiting for formal releases in the traditional package model so you'll find potentially more recent fixes within GitHub if you have a particular problem you can also feedback changes if you find an issue you can also do a pull request and we will analyze those pull requests and decide whether they need to be incorporated into a full release at the top here we talk about CUBE MCU packages so that's the package you've installed for the specific MCU but at the bottom we have expansion packages and these can either be from ST or third parties mostly from ST so we can have expansion packages which add to the functionality of STIM32 CUBE environment so for example if you're within your design you're going to use an ST MEMS device you can get an expansion package for that MEMS device integrated into STIM32 CUBE and then you have all the drivers all the example code for driving that device using the STIM32 so when it comes to adding in other non-micro ST components within to the environment it all becomes integrated and you can debug those devices as well now finally the big section on the right hand side this is the the middleware section of the package you've downloaded so here the middleware we provide when we talk from an ST point of view when we talk about middleware it's the functionality that is directly above the drivers so here we ship for the STIM32 CUBE 5 we deliver Microsoft's Azure RTOS package well it's four separate packages in fact so ThreadX for the operating system FileX for the file system NetX for networking support and USBX for the USB support this is a fully featured package everything is integrated and designed to work together in a consistent way with examples easy to follow easy to set up it is free of charge to utilize like anything we package for the STIM32 so you're free to go ahead and use it within your own applications


Let's say I'm a cultural pessimist and try to talk me out of this But here would be my worry if your theory implies cultural evolution speeds up as you have more parts more people more interconnections I Worry that social evolution will bring us further from the point of what our genes can handle So think of there being an increased variance of the match between society and our genes Most things do in fact work better because cultural evolution carries a lot of useful knowledge But just a few things stop working like maybe electoral politics Believe it or not or the diets we eat or a few things in society go wrong And if you think of everything needing to work fairly well in society for it to sustain itself Should we then be cultural pessimists? Well before I get to the cultural pessimist question I think that a key insight is that we've been in that situation for probably over a million years so You know human human cultural products like tools and food processing abilities have been shaping our guts and our teeth and our hands for a really long time and Culture was always pushing up against these things and the slow process here is the genetic evolution It takes the genetic evolution a long time to respond to expand our brains and Make them be able to deal with all that the new world that's being created by cultural evolution So the world we're facing now is just just more the same As far as cultural pessimism Things could get better things to get worse I don't have any predictions now. We have the internet. So that's very rapidly multiplied the number of combinations and connections Over a 20-year period much quicker than almost anyone had forecast. So if we apply that to your model What is your model predict if only in broad terms? What effects will the internet have on society given that genetic and cultural evolution are interacting and the number of Permutations has gone up a lot quicker than we expected Is this a train wreck waiting to happen or the greatest thing since sliced bread well thousand times better? Certainly in the short term it should should increase the rate of innovation because it's easy to exchange ideas amongst very diverse minds now The productivity growth is falling in most countries. This baffles me. You mean why? Productivity growth is right Japan US Western Europe productivity growth is lower than it was say before the 80s I don't blame the internet for that, but it doesn't seem to have helped very much Well, I mean I think you I'm a cultural evolutionist So I want to see this on a much longer time scale. Okay, ask me in 200 years.
