So we are back for our coffee chat. And Bryce, you're in a different location today. I am at my parents' house right now. I've got a sleeping King Charles spaniel right here, Miss Maggie, she might be snoring. But yes, I am at my parents' house right now and I was telling Catherine, I don't have my light set up. I don't have any makeup on. I got a little mascara and a little lipstick on. That's about it. So what you see is what you get. Cool, cool, cool. Well, I've had to shut the blinds. I've got my two babies in the background. Me, do you stop chewing? And yeah, it's weird. It feels like we're gonna have a thunderstorm and a big clearing today. But we were gonna have a chat today about stepping into your power because a lot of people are sort of saying, now's the time for us all to step into our power. And that looks very different for everyone. And I'm also personally seeing on quite a few places, almost a bit of shaming that goes with it in terms of if you don't step into your power in the way that I've decided it means, then you're not really contributing. That and then nothing that drives me crazy. And you see that a lot in the spiritual communities as well. And I've said this on Aquarius Rising Africa before with our friend, Shanti Mourney. There's one teacher I used to work with a lot. And he would always say, listen, all the trees in the forest are different. They're all different, but they're all reaching up for the same light.  And I was telling you, Catherine, when you suggested us talking about this, one thing I know about, well, I don't know. You know, the little I know about human psychology, it seems when other people try to control someone else or control the way they do something, it's because they're feeling out of control themselves. And so if someone's shaming you for how you're doing something, usually that's a sign that they're not comfortable within their own sense of self. Yeah, I believe stepping into your own power is actually stepping into who it falling into, just into your sense of self, as who you are as a person, healing yourself, working on yourself. You say things so brilliantly, brilliantly, Catherine, when you talk about sports teams, you know, I'm not a big sports person, but I understand that on a team, every member of the team has a different job to do. You can't all be the goalie. You can't all be the main person kicking the, I don't know, your daughter probably laughing me trying to explain soccer. You can't be the main person kicking the ball, like you can't, you all have different, you know, you look at an American football, the quarterback is usually skinnier than the linemen because they have different purposes. And that's the thing in life. How boring would life be if God made us all the same? It's so important. I love that about the trees all reaching for the light because everyone's going through different stages of their lives. So for example, now I've got grown up children. So my life is completely different when they were babies and toddlers and when they were going through school and everything like that. And you're meant to go through stages of your life, every plant, every animal, the seasons, every human. And to me, I just did, I haven't put it up yet because I was a bit behind, but just a channel update. And I was talking about this, about what stepping into your power means. And for me, it means finding out what gives you joy, finding out how you love to contribute and show up in this world. And that is whatever that is. And also honoring where you, your family, your loved ones are at this time, to say, this is why not everyone's meant to be the leader taking you into battle. You also need people that are gonna cook the food and feed you and mend you and rescue you after. Being the medtents. Yeah. Yeah, collect the water, yeah. It all comes back again to this being happy with yourself and not comparing yourself. And that is easier said than done. And I know we talk about things that we notice a lot because obviously having channels, it's brilliant to get that interaction and you get comments. But you and I are both going to be speaking to Ismail Perez on Saturday, which I'm really, really looking forward to because we've got such different things to bring to it and he's got such big, great conversation. But when you and I have a guest like that on a show, we're not expecting to agree with every single thing. It's not even in my consciousness. It doesn't matter to me whether I agree with that. I'm learning and listening with an open heart and an open mind. And then with a lot of stuff, I have to take it away because if it's something that I don't particularly have much knowledge of or experience of, what I'm really trying to do is stop myself making quick decisions. So we can all be contributing in our own way and it's absolutely fine if we've all got different views of the world. Absolutely, absolutely it is for sure. And that's how we've said this over and over again, Catherine. I feel like something really bizarre has happened over the last maybe 10 years. And it's like, and we see this hardcore on the other side of our timeline, the people on the left like here in America where you have this cancel culture, where if someone doesn't agree with you 100% on every single little thing, then you cancel them. And that's a new phenomenon, well at least for me, that's a new phenomenon. I know that's hugely indicative of communism, but just as far as social interactions, most of my life, especially when I was a kid, it was just understood that you're not gonna agree with everyone on everything. And people didn't, and sometimes for me, it's like if I hear somebody's opinion that I don't necessarily agree with, at this point, I don't even feel the need to express my opinion. If it's not a big deal, it's of a little thing. If it's a little thing, I don't feel like I need, but people feel the need to be right and be validated and be justified instead of just living within their own ideas and opinions and respecting others for theirs, too. If someone's not hurting you, then let them be where they are on their journey. Now, Stephanie is here with me. It's Catherine just saw Stephanie. She's about to go and do another show, but we're doing a lot of filming up here. That's why we're up here at my parents' house, pulling cards at some historical places. And so Stephanie has had a chance to meet my mother. And we were discussing, it's like my mother's a prime example. She's not where we are, as far as what she's willing to listen to right now. She's awake as far as she knows that the competition that happened here in 2020 was fraudulent. She's aware that that competition, you guys weren't talking about, wasn't legit. She's aware of the system, the one-worlds government system from the other side. She's aware of that. But when she doesn't have this, she's not getting this. But when it comes to other things, she's not there yet. She's not ready to hear about Tartaria. She's not ready to hear that. And that's okay. And so everybody's on their own journey and on their own level. And you don't know, there's a saying that I love, but I'm gonna paraphrase it. It's, be kind to everyone because you don't know what they're going through. You don't know what somebody is going through internally. So be kind to everyone. And so how dare we, or some people think that we can impose our chapter 10 to somebody else's chapter one. And then shame them because they're not at our chapter 10. Does that make sense? Yeah, and also there's a very good reason sometimes why nature protects you from knowing certain things at a certain time. So for example, I've had two children, believe me, have given birth is not easy. But I wouldn't change it for the world, but it's comical because I had a lot of complications having my son. And I'm one of the ones where I was very grateful to be given an emergency cesarean because if not my son and I probably wouldn't have been here today. We'd joke in our family, you know, if I was a Labrador I probably wouldn't be allowed to breathe. I wouldn't pass the hip score because I have the easiest pregnancies but the births were a little bit problematic for me. And so I'm really grateful, but when I had my son I got really shamed by a lot of people for having a cesarean. And I was like, do you know what? I'm so grateful because my son and I are here healthy on things. It wasn't a plan cesarean for cosmetic or easy regions. It was basically an emergency. And without that, I wouldn't have been able to save my life.  So, you know, everyone has got a different purpose and most parents will tell you that when they're in full blown labor about to give birth without never having another child. And then the moment you've had that child, you're like, oh, well, next time. And you've completely forgotten because it's so worth it for what you go through. And that is just a classic example. If people aren't ready to see things like that, there might be a very good reason that we don't know about. They might be going through grief. They might be going through illness. They might be going through financial strain. They might be. And our bodies and our minds are very good at giving us what we can cope with when we can cope with it. And if you then go in and make a decision that's not consensual to someone, you could actually be doing a lot of damage. Yeah, absolutely. When it's traumatic, it's, you know, with this great awakening, if you think about everything that's been exposed to us over these drips of information, that was for us too, because we were in that position at one point.  Both of her parents passed away when she was in her late 20s, early 30s. Her sister then passed away. They went, my mother and father went through a horrific divorce when I was a teenager. There was a lot in her early life that was very traumatic. Even though I don't see her as being someone who has like anxiety disorders, but when I think for her like to understand at her age, and this might be the same for a lot of people, to understand that everything she was taught as a child is a lie and all those memories she associates with her parents and her sister and all that kind of stuff, there's emotional attachment to that. And so when we start to think about that from a very human perspective, then maybe we don't wanna push too much and allow people just to kind of wake up as they, and it's been hard for my mother. My mother, the Bryce family, my name is my mother's maiden name. Big thing to do down here in the South is to give your kids your maiden name. The Bryce family, my mom's family, her maiden name was Bryce, they're all doctors. And she loved, when I found out my great-grandfather, my mom's dad's dad, a man named Dr. Joseph Bryce, and he and I share a birthday, same birthday. My mother was always very proud of that because she loved her grandfather. He died before I was born. But I actually at one point sent a letter to some of the Mason Lodges in South Carolina to see if any of my family was involved in Freemasonry because the Bryce family is huge in South Carolina. The University of South Carolina has, the football stadium is the William S. Bryce Stadium, huge family. And I got a letter back saying that yes, Joseph Bryce died in good standing as a 33rd degree Mason. Well, we know what that means. And I presented that to my mom and it literally almost unraveled her because she also understands what that means at that level, which we can't talk about on YouTube, but you guys watching know what we're talking about. But in her mind, that was her grandfather and she loved him and he was so sweet to her. And I was trying to explain to her, like even though he probably did some very sinister things, it doesn't negate the memories that you hold dear, that you have from your childhood with him, but we do have to accept the fact that this explains a lot as to why the Bryce family was so powerful, if that makes sense. But so if you think about that from a very human perspective, we're all having to face darkness that we never had to face before. And some people are gonna be able to handle it better than others. And we- So does it serve you how much about learning things? Does it serve you? So I always look, I mean, I find looking into the history fascinating and what's the real history. But I find it fascinating more for the why, why have we been lied to? What's the motivation? Because that really tells me sort of what I need to know. But sometimes I don't think it's in people's best interests to do that. So for example, a lot of the animals that I work with and have had very bad beginnings. We've talked about this before, but it's not constructive for me to keep referring to them as rescue animals. Cause energetically, I keep taking them back to that place where it's not constructive for them to go back there. They're not in that place anymore. It's good to move forward. And for getting back to the stepping into your power, I think part of that stepping into your power is looking at, you know, for what we were just saying about what information do you share from a heart space for looking at that an individual? Now, if you're sharing information on YouTube or Bitchu to other channels, that's fine because people are choosing to listen to it. But if you're going into someone's home and having a conversation, is that going to be helpful? Because also we just don't know so much about it. We just don't know. You know, what we know now, we've spoken like our gorgeous friend Jamie, you know, there's all this perception that everyone who's at a certain level of sport or an actor or music that everyone is tied up with the same rush. And we know that's not true. So I think stepping into your own power is just, for me, it's really important.  And also you being comfortable to let others- Be them. Is just important. It's like, well, I think the same with the animals. When I went through trauma therapy myself, as I'm looking at Maggie as she's snoring guys, yes, that is the dog snoring. It's not a demon over here. It's little old dog snoring. When I went through my own trauma therapy, my trauma therapist told me that it's not necessary to remember everything. There's a reason why the brain blocks things out. We just need to work through the emotions that are still causing you the anxiety and that's that. Same thing like, again, with my mother. Is it necessary for some people to know that their deceased grandfather was a 33rd degree? Is that necessary? Or is ignorance in that point bliss? As long as she knows the important things for now, for me with the whole, we were talking about tartaria and we're gonna talk more with Ishmael Perez, stepping into the powers, understanding the power of your mind and knowing that they know this. The controllers know the power of your mind and so you have to take that power back and filter through what you need to know to protect yourself as far as what the future outcome is gonna be. That doesn't mean you have to go around and bust other people's love bubbles that they have around them. It's in fact, to do that, it's like, we look at like the first law of yoga is a hemsa or nonviolence. But there's also the law of truthfulness, satya. But is it necessary? It's like when somebody, I know Captain, we have friends like this because we've spoken about this off camera. If your friend comes in and they're wearing an outfit that you don't like that much but they don't ask you your opinion, don't give it. Because that's mean. That's mean. If they ask you your opinion, that's a different story.  That's just mean, that's just cruel. So the same thing goes with information and owning your own power. Part of owning your own power is being responsible with that power and not hurting other people with it. You know? It's so important. Concentrate, back to the good old saying, can you change it? If the answer is yes, change it. If it's no, don't worry about it and move on. And I think, yes, a lot of what we've known and has come to light over the last few years and much longer for others, the good thing is, is we can change it because when you do shine that light on it, it can't exist anymore. So that's a really positive thing for where people are speaking up and showing it because a lot of people are a lot more aware now. I always used to be as a young mum. I used to be very conscious when I saw certain situations with young children going into certain situations unsupervised. And I always had that sixth sense where I thought, it's not my child, but I'm keeping an eye on that. And a few occasions I did step in and remove them from certain situations, return them to their parents. And I just thought, and I never, no one ever didn't thank me for that either because it's like, why would you not?  And I think what I'd like to see is really moving forward. We were talking earlier with Steph about how it's so important for us to realise that sometimes when people are talking about a certain timeline or a certain future events coming, that's because we all know that where your energy is focused on makes that more likely to happen. It's just being cautious that you're putting your energy on where you want it to happen, not on what it's not. Like you can walk into any situation and you will pick up the good and the bad. So where are you going to focus? You're going to focus on the bad if you're potentially in danger and you need to get out of there. But if not, you can bring in more love into that situation by focusing on the good. Absolutely. Well, I was thinking about too, it's like my brother-in-law's mother is from Italy and her parents have now passed away recently, his grandmother just passed away, but they hadn't moved to America. And Mamut, his grandmother who died in her late 90s, was an avid Catholic, loved the Pope. And at that point it's like, if you're trying to step into your power, my sister was like, I'm not even going to say anything to her. What's the point? She's happy. She's not hurting anybody. She's not hurting any, she's a 90-year-old woman. She's not hurting anybody. And this is giving her peace and solitude. Well, what's the point of me saying, telling her all this stuff right now and causing that trauma? And so it's knowing, and part of that too, it's like when you're talking about the children just kind of keeping an eye on other people's children, it's like understanding your own boundaries. So even though at that moment, you maybe didn't say anything to the parents, you were just keeping an eye on the child, you were respecting their boundaries while also being a responsible human being, and that was very wise and good. But it's also for all of us waking up, it's knowing our boundaries too, as to how we can't impose this thing on other people. We have to let people, it's like you can't, I've been seeing a lot of people talk about this meditation where they're gonna like, send light to all these people who are asleep to get them to wake up. And I'm like, that's not good guys, that's service to self. They didn't ask you to do that. They didn't consent to that. What you can do is present the information on a public platform, like we do, if they choose to listen, they choose to listen. If not, you are not the conductor of their karma. Their spiritual contract that they signed to come here is none of your business. So don't look at your business. Yeah, we've got enough to look after ourselves with.  It's like, yeah, but the energy and the memories, if they're good and positive to you, then that is only but positive. You're not supporting the evil but continuing to do that. So I think the more you can tune in with yourself and see what is putting you in a state of sending out positive vibration for yourself and everyone around you and what is taking that away. And I'm learning that so much at the moment, Bryce. I mean, I'm actually really grateful that things have taken as long as they have because I was very much a couple of years ago at the state of telling everyone. Same. I really was. And now I've really learned a really variable lesson that is just not, it's not helpful, it's not kind, it's not fair. Yes, again, if they invite your opinion, but if not, then you don't know what the consequences of interfering with that are. Yeah, absolutely. You cannot, it's like in the Mysore room and yoga, we have a responsibility as teachers to make sure people are safe and that they're not taking on too much that they can handle. And, you know, Guruji used to say have a great saying, one time telling, two time telling, three time God telling. You know, you can't force things upon people if you give them your opinion, but they don't take it, let karma play itself out. Let them, because, and I've said this before, like if people always want to be wise, you always want that wisdom. But wisdom is not gained from doing everything correctly.  And so don't rob somebody else else of those opportunities to learn. And those opportunities to have that friction within themselves and those opportunities to have those like come to Jesus moment themselves where they have to figure things out for themselves. You know, it's not, we don't want to be boss. I mean, we don't want to turn into what our quote unquote enemy is, where they're bossing people around and telling them what to believe and what not to believe. And we don't want to be that. I want to be in a world that's more like, but the childhood I grew up in where it was like live and let live, it's okay if people have different opinions. That's what makes the world go round. That's what makes things interesting. So we, I think that, and we were talking about that. Like that is just, it's a shame that people are shaming people for not doing life the way that another person thinks they should do life. Yeah. I'm saying that a lot, you know, that if you're not doing this, you're not healthy in the pause. If you're not doing this, you're part of the problem.  So if you don't know what they are working on, you can't have it both ways and be telling people that the most important thing they can do is to work on themselves. But only if you work on it that way. Do all these other things at the same time. Because just working on the cells might be absolutely enough at the moment. That might be completely all that they need to do that they can cope with. And so you just don't know. There's so many times I've been completely God-befounded where just a simple conversation will give you an aha moment and a different understanding of why someone has done or said something that they have. And it's one of the advantages, I think, of growing older because you do, just like you said, learn from your mistakes. And when I've got it wrong, I'm like, oh, okay. Those are the most like, well, I have a lot to say for me.  I'll have a beer every now and again. I'm not opposed to alcohol at all. I'm not opposed to alcohol. There's a lot of people in the Truth or Community that think that alcohol is the devil and it's just inviting all these spirits and all that kind of stuff. But I'm not, I don't have a problem with alcohol. I can go out and have a couple of beers and stop and be fine for a week and not drinking. You know, and I've always, I've never had bad issues with that. And so that's another extreme that people have even taken towards us. That, you know, I posted on Twitter that I was having a beer the other night at a local deli down here.  But then you get that backlash. Like people all of a sudden think you're compromised because you don't have a beer. And it's that extreme thinking. It's that extreme thinking that is actually very mentally unhealthy. And I do want to say if anybody is experiencing that where someone's shaming you or poo-pooing you because you're not doing this, this great awakening, the way that they think you should be doing it, then that's their problem. And it's just been really great because I've really realized that. Again, I laugh at myself because sometimes I needed a lot of warning signals before I noticed that I can be a bit slow on the uptake in some circumstances. But I'm really, it's just so freeing when you do do it. And when you just think, you know, that's it. I'm removing myself from that situation and it feels much better for it. So I really hope that people today, you know, when they're thinking, they're stepping into their power and I really hope that it's your power you're stepping into, not your parents, not your partners, not your friends, not ours, not anyone else's, that it's your power and that you're experimenting with how to express yourself, learning from the good bits and the bad bits and just approaching everyone and everything really with an open heart. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely 100%. Just be where you are on the journey because it's not, and as cheesy as it sounds, it's not about the destination, it's about the journey. Too right. And so I'm really looking forward to seeing some of yours and Steph's videos. I'm really, really looking forward to our chat on Saturday night with Ismael Perez. We're gonna be covering loads and loads of stuff. Who knows, I've got loads of notes, but whatever's gonna come up will come up. People have been submitting their questions. So on the community page of my channel, you'll see I'm saying put your questions down here and I am making a note of them and I'll get through as many as I can. So thanks, have an amazing time with your parents. I will. Oh, it's just so lovely. It's so nice, isn't it? Just getting out there and having a break and being at somewhere different is such fun. And I will say, I was gonna put this on my channel update, but I'll go ahead and say now too guys, if you follow me on Twitter, I'm doing updates, update videos of where we are filming some stuff because it's gonna take a little bit for me to get all the footage together for a full video. So if you follow me over on Twitter, you can see us being silly. I've been watching them and they're just such good fun. I mean, I'm still a beginner on Twitter, right? I do post a lot of stuff there because it's really useful for me to go back and find stuff. So I was looking at your stuff this morning, it's hysterical. Yeah, you're fun. You can have fun while you're doing it too.   You've definitely gone to have some fun. Enjoy, have some fun and we will be back on Saturday together. Yes, yes, absolutely. Bye guys. Bye.


One of the things musicians always ask me is if it's possible to become a popular musician without having a social media presence or showing their face to the audience or touring. Now I know for many of you attention seeking, aspiring narcissists and extroverts, this sounds insane but for a variety of reasons some people don't want to do certain parts of the game past making music. So whether you're the attention seeking musician or the one who would really like to keep Twitter and Instagram out of your life or the ones that think music videos are Satan answers can be found in the MTV video games this video is for you since in this video I'm gonna teach you how to see not participating in one of the pillars of music promotion affects your ability to build a fan base I'm Jesse Cannon a music marketing nerd who's teaching musicians how to grow their fan base from zero to ten thousand fans and this is Muse Formation I often talk to musicians who've had some success but now look back every day like that guy in Napoleon Dynamite talking about his high school football team coach would have put me in fourth quarter we've been state champions no doubt as they focus on what could have been and why break down what would they actually regret they come to realize they were always focused on the exceptions instead of the rules and what I mean by this is I'm sure you probably have a musician friend that will compare themselves to another musician and try to find the exception that allows them to be lazy instead of doing what 99% of people do to promote their music a favorite of mine is all my friends who want to be a famous singer but hate having to put on a fresh fit do a photo shoot and lay down some thirst drops on the gram we'll say Jesse Adele never used social media told recently and she's like the biggest artist in the world when the fuck do I have to show everyone this booty I'm packing to get streams on Spotify now ignoring that society is gross this way and that there's much smarter youtubers on this subject than me who can interrogate this it's unfortunately a fact that when you got the songs and the strategy these pictures help boost streams but back to Adele these people love to point out that she's one of the biggest artists of her era and she didn't use social media on top but this focus is that she's the exception the one person that didn't do this and the only people who focus on this are brainwired infested contrarian musician and instead of focusing on the rule that everyone else built their fucking career in the last decade by being active in some way on social media they point this one out they somehow ignore that Adele had everything else going for her so well be it the crossover appeal to so many demographics which you gave her more susceptible marketplace than anyone since Amy Winehouse along with outrageous abilities that she was able to get by without one of the main tools that helped build a fan base so instead of focusing on this exception the right way to see is the Dell is actually an outlier not an exception and that she's so exceptional she could have been even more huge had she used all the tools at her disposal but as we will reveal at the end of this video Adele is actually kind of focusing on the rule here we just haven't learned how to perceive the rule yet so what we're discussing all the time in this channel is how to use strategy that can increase your chances of actually getting your music heard by as many people as possible to do that we focus on how to try to make that happen instead of hoping for the best and that luck smiles upon you or that you catch a leprechaun or something just as unlikely as the stories of a big manager happening to find your barely promoted track on SoundCloud I also accept that you all have lives and budgets and those lives may be incompatible with touring or making tons of social media posts or paying for music videos every 60 days the fact is there's a few different facets of your music promotion and when you don't use one of them you're slowing down your potential but there's a way to compensate and if you aren't apt to pour your money into music videos or spend time taking pictures for the gram all day there is hope so to illustrate this point I need to introduce a new or reoccurring learning tool since too many people complain that I keep using that virgin and Chad meme which is kind of a virgin critique if you ask me so instead it's time to go back to health class but trust me I'm gonna leave the birds and the bees to whatever other YouTube freaks feel like explain that to you so as you can see here we have a body and I've marked off some of the anatomy and I want you to imagine this person is a cross-country skier and we're gonna discuss their anatomy on what they need to do to win now clearly this body of mine has not been doing so much cross-country skiing since the pandemic it but I think this is the right learning device as you can see on the heart I've written good songs as this is the heart of the saw and if your heart ain't working none of the rest will either hence why I also have good strategy on the brain since that needs to be in place too and without that none of the rest will work as no one will hear your music since somebody needs to be able to handle this part and trust me that strategy can also be networking team building or whatever else so now we get to the arms and one is social media and the other arm is outreach which I like to think of as appealing to algorithms or doing PR and marketing since yeah you may be able to cross-country ski without one arm but to do well you're gonna have to compensate with the other limbs and then we have the legs which are great content and playing live as these two do more to make progress than all else but the head and the heart are needed but as we know for all of 2020 and much of 2021 we've been in a world where every single artist has had to do this race with one leg tied up since no one is doing live shows and as you may have noticed I don't have Facebook ads here and unlike most of the music per emotion gurus on here if you want to learn why I don't include them in my strategy and how to promote your music without buying Facebook ads I suggest you click on the video in the playlist on the screen now or the description below I can already hear some of you cracking your knuckles to get in the comments and tell me about your favorite artists who built a career by employing mystery and not promoting on social media or touring or being mysterious but before we go there I do want to talk about what people perceive as mystery and not promoting their music with these limbs what we have to see is an invisible limit and that is doing eventful things is part of the strategy and outrage and creates an invisible limb when ours do things like create art so they don't have to take pics in fits and instead veil themselves while still promoting their music and create a conversation around them there's an important detail there they're still promoting and they're starting a conversation not participating does not start a conversation a lot of people see part of this mystery being the artist absence from constant updates imposed as being a thing this is not a technique that works and as we're gonna discuss in a minute that's not how all the artists you see building their fan base and with very few exceptions do quite the opposite but once they've heard an audience and the right to not have to exploit their existence every single minute they are alive they do pull away and do effective promotion that allows them to stand in the shadows which is perceived as mystery and very common once they have a huge audience as I'm constantly telling you the thing to focus on is what artists you loved it on their way to the top instead of what they do at the top since the promotions that work for us at the top is nearly never what works to break an artist so I hit up my friends in my form to ask you all about the artist you perceived who made it without engaging in traditional promotion or using social media and employing mystery and sure enough I think most of the artist people regularly point to who they think are examples of this are all misnomers so now it's time for a lightning round of takedowns since as my friend Finn McKenzie from the punk rock M.E.A. has said about me all my content is based around everything you think is wrong and here's why I'm right and well it's go time the first one I got hit with and with good reason is sleep token since people loved to point out that I made a video about them and they employ all this mystery and very little presence online but to go back to this cross country skiing anatomy theory sleep token at probably the most masterful album rollout that I could point to in the last few years which called so much attention to them with repeated video drops and a series of deconstructed songs they did along with masterful energy since they couldn't use behind the scenes elements and show their faces and reveal their identity they leaned harder on another limb and that limb was an amazing strategy and whether it was the amazing covers they did and alternate versions for their series called the room below under their artwork and full stack singles and if you don't know what I'm talking about there's a video on the screen now are in the description that breaks down their entire strategy and how brilliant it was one of the recent ones that's come to my inbox from this is Apex Twin. Now I have no fucking clue why we're discussing a dude who built his career in the goddamn 80s by assuming since he's now a based hyper pop god but let's not get it twisted as I am a mega Apex Twin fan and date someone who wears so much of his gear you'd think it was a fashion brand but Apex Twin is a misnomer he built his fan base playing influential early shows constantly look there's one on the screen right now where his early collaborator talked about how he worked for his early shows but really what shot him to notoriety is he was on a label that had a ton of influence and back then labels were much like what playlists are now and that they had tons of power to tell people what they should be listening to as they were the curators of a genre of their day and he was on the best one with the most influence of that time but also let's remember what really built him up is he made some of the most exceptional content we've ever seen still to this day I mean I consider window liquor probably still one of the top five best music videos ever made and his videos are still some of the most memorable of his generation and yes while he's become reclusive and very mysterious that wasn't the case on his assent to his peak oh boy I love to hear brand new is this band that is mysterious since yes that may have been the case after they had numerous videos on MTV that were extremely well directed so they aired them all day and all night after playing the goddamn warp tour and touring nonstop until they were at the top of the pile but this on the way up was the opposite of mysterious and somehow their entire fan base has whitewashed that they weren't a pop punk band doing all the things high profile pop punk bands did in their day that was until they heard a modest mass record and pivoted and let's be honest it's probably a best to be a bit mysterious when you were doing what that singer was doing next I hear Jesse you love Sophie man she didn't do an interview forever and no music videos on the way up Sophie is the most innovative producer of a generation and so much so that Madonna tapped her to produce a comeback single before Sophie had ever released a video on her own this gave her the ability to not have to promote in traditional ways at first since she had so much notoriety and so many people beating down her doors to cover her that she was able to create mystery around it because she had demand you do not have demand I mean last I checked your third and fourth songs you released were not two of the most influential songs on pop of the last decade and let's be honest she only ever really blew up and people started know who she was when she did a video where she was fucking topless as a trans artist it started actually showing herself to people and that she's the most exceptionally talented visionary musician in my opinion I know of and I seriously hate that she's been taken from us and it makes me horribly sad every day ooh Radiohead this one's fucking funny the band made a fucking movie called meeting people as easy about how much press they did and how much they hated it and complained about it in every goddamn interview for years you know what's funny Radiohead is actually an example of a band who is doing all the things I say to do today before it was in vogue they talk to people constantly they release so many fucking videos from every album toward extensively and dominated everyone's attention they then got much more elusive with time but don't get it twisted this is a fucking band whose first single became a hit and then dominated attention for years to come using constant interviews and content not exactly a model that's going to be easy for you to emulate for jizzy what about burial I mean my girlfriend has worked with burial and she jokes about how in today's music climate even for all of burial's massive influence on music and relevance trying to get him features without fresh press photos since he refused to take them is actually an uphill battle for even him to get featured on certain sites and let's be honest untrue is one of the greatest records ever made but he's really not exactly a model of continuous success and doesn't make it easy on himself jizzy jewel they were super mysterious man ah yes another 30 year old example but it's also important to talk about this when no one was leaning into music videos that were really exceptional and looked the way tools did they leaned in and took months on end to make animations that augmented their nine minute prog rock songs it did some of the most outlandish interviews of their time as their singer is one of the most provocative interviews they knew their swat analysis and their strengths they leaned on one limb to concentrate on what others took away and went way harder than anyone else on art at the time was well aside from that group green jello who made that video about the three little pigs who are on the same label as them but they didn't have much staying power because they were kind of corny okay cashmere cat is another study in limb theory magnus is shy to a crazy degree but you know where he's not shy look at who he works with ariana grande salina gomez benny blanco so he's effective in collaborating with the biggest artists possible and they promote the songs for him he tours but he doesn't do interviews and a ton of social media but instead when he does videos he does it big it's the same for porter robinson in that they're not going to be heavy on the social media but when they put out a creative piece of content they're going to lean on that limb to make up for what they're taking away from the other limb but you may say dog he didn't do that first and i've heard you say that his e p wedding bills is the greatest e p of all time cool make music that's so amazing and unbelievable that rick rubin's account which has made like four tweets says your music is amazing as well as kanye west as his peak proclaims you as the most insane artist out there and then you can get away with not doing anything do music that's not exceptional and go right ahead okay dog i got you now the weekend no one knew who he was at first fun fact the weekend had four publicists at once during the trilogy era as well he's the epitome of consistent sustained promotion while no one was seeing what he looked like and yes his identity was gone and he wasn't making posts all the time he also basically put out 30 songs and nearly three hours of music in around 500 days with a massive press push around each of those releases and i will give him that it became a talking point that no one knew who he was but his team gambled that the music was so good and he had so much of it that making every powerful publicist assist in the business back then pushes music to blogs when blogs mattered a lot that was some pretty fucking smart strategy and the brain was pretty big on that strategy now we all know today he's an exceptional talent and the person who in the earliest in their career to ever be featured as the main act in the super bowl as well he had the most streamed song of 2020 so i guess if you have that level of juice you can take the same gamble as him the fact is he understood the game and leaned into the strategy by doing what worked for the time and it led to him blowing up but he really leaned on some limbs to make up for the one he was missing and lastly i told you i'd tell you about Adele funny enough Adele was on excel records which is known for many more electronic based groups than groups that sound like her including radiohead since she didn't have social media on their side they leaned other ways the label put out acapellas to dance clips so people would hear them on the floor all the time and then they'd be familiar with them when they heard them on the radio later they then made great videos and leaned on partnerships and live performances since Adele had the juice to carry those live performances to an exceptional degree yet again since one limb was missing they had to go stronger on another limb now i'm sure you're done with me yelling at you and have received the message that if you're going to ignore one of these limbs you need to strengthen the other limbs more than the rest and if you haven't well then there's probably no hope for your stubborn break now i don't want to imply i think every artist should overexpose themselves and you have to do social media to this ridiculous degree this video is a exercise in quite the opposite i think 90 percent of the artists i like could deal with editing themselves a little bit and being a little less extremely online but i also think 99 of the people who tell me they don't want to engage in one of the limbs is not doing it because they are striving for perfection in their artistry they're just trying to justify laziness or apathy towards something that they really don't want to do and need this video as a dose of reality and here's reality i challenge you to look at the artists you enjoy the most and odds are you will see that in all the mediums they are handed they try to find a way to do something exceptional to them social media touring everything else is just a challenge to find how it works and there's many ways to do it many artists use social media as a purely promotional and newsletter tool and then they vote their time to doing truly exceptional things in another medium if you're going to chop up one of these limbs you better use the other one to their fullest extent to compensate so i know this is a controversial one so feel free to only in the comments as i love a good debate and if this got you thinking please like subscribe and get notified so we can keep having this fun together if you like this discussion coming up on the screen is a playlist on how to promote yourself on social media as well as another on how to go from zero to ten thousand fans and another on how to blow up on Spotify in 2021 cook away and keep learning thanks for watching


Good evening, everyone. Does the sound OK? OK. Well, thank you all for joining us here at the Vermont Presidential Scholars Recognition Ceremony to acknowledge this year's Vermont Presidential Scholar recipients. Let me begin by introducing myself. I'm Ryan Parkman, the program manager of the personalized learning team of the Student Pathways Division with the Vermont Agency of Education. And during this recognition ceremony, you will hear from Vermont's Secretary of Education, Dan French, and two of my colleagues, Doug Webster, to present the awards for career technical education, and Lisa Bressler to present the awards for the arts. Try now. Aha. Good thing I have a fairly loud voice, because you probably could still hear me before. Did you hear what I said before? OK. All right. Thank you. All right. The Vermont Presidential Scholars Program recognizes graduating high school seniors who show outstanding scholarship, leadership, and service to their communities. This year, six scholars have been chosen in the general category, five scholars in the career technical education category, and three scholars in the arts. There were also several students receiving honorable mention, three in the career technical education category, and one in the arts category. These 18 students were chosen among a pool of nominees for this recognition, submitted by their school communities, and ultimately chosen as recipients by a selection committee. And next up, we will hear some opening remarks from Secretary French. Good evening. I'd like to welcome our students, their families, educators, and friends of our 2023 Presidential Scholars Program. Very pleased and proud to join you here in the House Chamber as we recognize the impressive efforts and achievements of our students. On behalf of Governor Scott, the State of Vermont, I'd like to welcome you to Montpelier and thank you for joining us this evening as we recognize some of our most exceptional Vermont students. This building has a storied history, and I encourage you to take a moment and wander the halls and corridors and experience both Vermont's past and its present. This is a working building with the legislature in session these halls, and this chamber are usually very busy this time of year, with legislators debating a broad range of topics that are important to Vermonters. Since we're in this beautiful room with its rich history, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the State House's role in Vermont's past, its present, because today we are using this chamber to recognize Vermont's future. You are a group who have both excelled academically and as leaders and members of our community. We have in the room with us today technologists, writers, student leaders, advocates, mentors, and volunteers. Some of you have gained recognition on the national stage, as honor students, as innovators, and as competitors in a whole range of competitions and challenges. Many of you have had real-world work experiences, undertaken apprenticeships, college coursework, and earned professional and technical credentials that will be valuable to you in your next steps, whether it be college, career, or some other path. And you have served your community as advocates, as leaders, and mentors by tackling a broad range of projects that both help your community and demonstrate your commitment to excellence. As a group and individually, you exemplify the best of Vermont education.  When the governor talks about a cradle to career vision for education that sustains all Vermont students, you are what he's referring to. As you represent Vermont as presidential scholars, and as you take the next steps in your educational and professional journeys, know that you represent the incredible breadth and vibrancy of our small state, and that we are very proud of you. Through your skills and your achievements, you exemplify not only the excellence of our education system, but also Vermont's future. So it is fitting that we are in this building tonight with its historic past and its exciting present as we celebrate you and the future of our state. Congratulations. First up, we will have Lisa Bressler to present the Arts Awards. Good evening. I'm Lisa Bressler, the Arts Education Coordinator at the Agency of Education. I'd like to start by thanking the Arts Review Committee for volunteering their time and offering their expertise to identify these talented artists. I also want to thank the teachers, mentors, counselors, and all who nominated students for this recognition. Finally, I want to thank the parents, guardians, and all others who have supported their students' growth and commitment to the arts.

The Vermont Presidential Scholars Program is a statewide recognition of student citizenship, academic excellence and leadership. Outstanding students are selected based on nominations from teachers, administrators, and in some cases, the students themselves. Each of these students have excelled academically, whether through traditional or non-traditional learning experiences, and both in many cases. These students have all exhibited responsible citizenship and have impacted their school and community through their contributions. They have all demonstrated leadership skills among their peers and have been an inspiration to many others. All the while persevering to meet their individual goals. Now for this year's recipients. This student attends Burn-Burn Academy and has worked closely with the school's technology department to create the school's first ever unified e-sports team. Has constructed a supercomputer to mine cryptocurrencies and has educated other students to carry on this project after they have graduated. They believe that in order to solve the problems that have often polarized our world today, we must put ourselves in situations that allow us to view issues from varying perspectives in order to keep an open mind and move toward resolution. Vermont Presidential Scholar, Andrew Clare. The next student attends People's Academy and is a founding member of the school's Gender and Sexuality Club, Equity, the Justice and Inclusion Club, and has co-facilitated a class exploring historical and current events regarding social justice and equity. They see housing insecurity as a problem that needs to be addressed in our state in that through utilizing existing housing infrastructure that's not currently being used that could be repurposed to provide a safe place for individuals to sleep. Vermont Presidential Scholar, Anna Isselhardt. This next student attends Burn-Burn Academy and in their role as a new student mentor plans activities and events to help students settle into high school. Offering advice on academics and extracurricular activities through an advisory group that meets twice weekly. This student wants to see that issues regarding mental health are covered in school curriculum as equally as physical health, believing that increased knowledge and awareness will help remove the negative stigmatization often associated with these afflictions that can affect any one of us in many ways. Vermont Presidential Scholar, Amelia DeJung. This next student attends Richford High School, has been a legislative page here at the Vermont Statehouse and is president of their local chapter of the National Honor Society, where they have personally spearheaded a school supply drive to ensure that all children in the community have the necessary tools for their learning. They also see playing sports as a great way for youth to make friends, to stay healthy, and succeed academically. However, they have noticed that many free or affordable opportunities to play on a youth sports team do not often exist due to lack of volunteers. And they propose that high school athletes can volunteer and coach these teams to help solve this problem, while also providing them with community service hours at their school. Vermont Presidential Scholar, Madeline Pike. This student attends Richford High School, is a member of the Vermont Youth Council and the school's National Honor Society. Engaging in activities such as editing and maintaining the school's website, and obtaining grant funding to improve the community, which provided a public ice rink, community fund run, movie night, and more. They have a strong interest in local and state government and how to leverage funding to improve community facilities. A current passion is to bring a track to their area, so that local track and field athletes do not have to travel up to an hour to the nearest facility. Vermont Presidential Scholar, John Viennes. This next student attends Rivendell Academy, is the student representative on the school board, volunteers extensively for the Upper Valley Trails Alliance, and was accepted into a semester program at the Mountain School, where they were involved in restructuring that school's library to ensure that its books were culturally appropriate and promoted equality. They are intrigued with linguistics and how language has played a role in dividing modern society, and seek to gain an understanding of the key uses of language that have added to this situation, and take the steps to remove them to improve this generation's future. Vermont's Presidential Scholar, Tovon Vitole. In closing, I would like to congratulate once again all of this year's recipients and share how impressive their accomplishments are, and how hopeful and optimistic that I am at what they will undoubtedly accomplish in their futures. Thank you all for joining us in this recognition ceremony for the 2023 Vermont Presidential Scholars. Let's give them one round of another hand, everyone. We would like to take a group photo, so if all the recipients could come down in front, and then there is water and coffee available in the cafeteria. Should you like to say a little hydration, or not have an opportunity to gather and chat? Other than that, that's the end of tonight's festivities. Thank you all, and we'll meet the recipients down front for our group photo.


Hey guys, SheaBear1000 here. Today we've got another product. We're gonna review the Shine Armor. It's an As Seen on TV product. This was bought at the Dollar General for $20. And we're gonna see if it does what it says it's gonna do. Stick around and let's see if it's worth the money. Okay guys, so like I said, this was $20 at the Dollar General. So, quick and easy way to clean, shine and protect. Great for cars, trucks, motorcycles, RV boats and more. We got this orange tractor here, we're gonna try it on that. It's metal, it's painted. Advanced ceramic formula. Fast, done in minutes. Easy, spray on application. Lasts, never wax your car again. Okay, well first of all, make your car shine like new. Well, I have never seen a car go from this to this without buffing it.  So, ceramic coat your car. Ceramic coat for your car. Simple, spray on application, never wax your car again. I don't believe it. Waterless wash. Hmm, shine and protect. So, see there's some pictures before and after. I don't believe it. The Advanced 3-1 Ceramic Coating. Well, let's open this up. And let's see if this says, if it does what it says it's gonna do. So you get, there should be two of these. Yeah, there's two of these application towels. And here's our stuff. Nice little purple color. We've got a card in here. Directions. Okay, let's read these as I'm not very long. Spray onto a clean damp microfiber cloth and onto the surface you are cleaning. Approximately three foot by three foot. We're just gonna do a little spot. Two, gently wipe the surface with the first pre-wetted folded microfiber cloth. That's why they give you two. Quickly switch to a clean folded dry microfiber cloth and buff off remaining haze before it dries. I could have sworn on here it said no buffing. Let's see. I could have sworn I read this last night it said no buffing. No buffing. Just spray and wipe away. Now here it says quickly switch to a clean folded dry microfiber cloth and buff off remaining haze before it dries. Buff off.  It is made in the USA, by the way, so. Okay, four, repeat this process until the entire vehicle was clean, streak free and ultra glossy. Safe to use on glass, paint, I would hope so. Metal and plastic. What, why would you use it on glass? But it says no buffing in here, it says buffing. So I don't know. Let's go ahead. I'm gonna get one of these cloths out. Got my niece, my niece is bringing her Chevy Suburban over. She's having a couple issues with it. Not wanting to go in the park and also it's, I guess she's having trouble with it stalling too, so. All right, now I'm gonna take this in the house and I'm gonna get it damp and then we'll bring it out. We'll do exactly what the instructions say. We'll see if it works. Okay, so here's good before and after. I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do this section right here. I'm gonna leave this alone and leave this alone and let's see what happens. I've got this one, it's damp. Now the first step says to spray onto the cloth. It says to spray onto the cloth. Okay, let's see if it's got a spray nozzle in it. No spray nozzle. There is no spray nozzle in here. It even shows spray nozzle. Jesus, so much pride in their work anymore.   So how are you gonna spray it?  Okay, there's that. Now it says, quickly switch to a clean folded dry microfiber cloth and buff off the remaining haze, okay? Somebody must be here. Let me go see who's out front. Okay guys, I'm back, sorry about that. This is what we came up with and I don't see a damn difference. I don't see a better difference than that. It says gently, I'm going gently, quickly rub off the haze. I don't see a difference guys. I don't see, I don't see a difference at all. Nope, I'm gonna say no. All right, let's go back in the garage and we'll do some final thoughts on this. This stuff, I usually don't take stuff like this back but this is going back because number one's not all there and number two, it's junk and it's 20 bucks.  Even if it's on sale for $5, even if it's on sale for $1, don't buy it. It doesn't do anything. It's a waste of money, especially for 20 bucks.  If the clear coat's peeling off your paint, nothing's gonna help it but if your paint job's good, the clear coat's good, you've got to work hard to get your car to shine. You've got to buff it. First, you gotta rub it out with rubbing compound. You gotta buff it with that stuff and then you've gotta buff it with your polish and then you've gotta put a coat of wax on it. Nothing is gonna spray on and wipe off and make your car look like that. I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is and for 20 bucks, they are absolutely ripping people off and not just because it didn't come with everything, it's because it does not work. It does not do what it says it'll do. It didn't even really clean anything. You can, soap and water look better than what this stuff does. No, it's junk and don't buy it. Like I said, this, if Monkey still got the receipt, we just bought it last night, so if she still got the receipt, I'm taking this back because I'll never use it. It's no good for nothing. If I can't take it back, I'll have two microfiber claws that I just spent $10 a piece on, you might as well say. No, it's junk, don't buy it, it's a rip off. It's a scam, nothing can do that. Just like the woman that checked us out last night, she said, well, let me know how that does. And I said, well, I can pretty much tell you right now, it's not gonna do that because I know if you want your car to look like that, you gotta do a lot of hard work. Even if you got a hand buffer, a power buffer, it still takes some time to get your car to look good like this. Especially if you're doing it by hand, yes.  Nothing's gonna make your car look like that. So anytime you see something like that, don't believe it, it's junk.  And then go, well, you know, I've had it a month, I don't know where the receipt is, Dollar General won't take anything back without a receipt, they won't even exchange anything without a receipt. Even though you got 20 of them back here on the shelf, you know it came from here, it doesn't matter. So, you know, and that watch that I bought from there, that smart watch, I've had some comments on that. I'm gonna do an update on that video about how people tell me I'm not using it right. You know, well, this guy, he's not up on electronics, you know, he's not electronic savvy. Look, I know how to scan a code and I'll show that to you guys.  You want a good smart watch, buy a good smart watch. If you can't afford it, just wait. You know, I can't afford one either, but you know, but I thought I'd try it for you and I'd try this for you. But this hopefully is going back. So anyway, guys, there you go. Two thumbs down. Don't even pay 50 cents for it at a garage sale unless you want the microfiber cloths because this is no good. It does not work, you know. And somewhere I've seen on here where it's a guarantee and it's just not gonna work, guys. So anyway, shea butter the myth, the man alleged I'm gone for now. It's getting hot again already. And we'll see you guys soon. Thanks for watching. Bye-bye. And don't believe everything you read on the box. Five stars, 5,000 plus trusted customer reviews. Well, you can print that on anything.


Item No. SCP-2303 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures Site-A85 has been established in proximity to SCP-2303. Foundation activities in the vicinity of the anomaly are to be presented to potential observers as a long-term architectural engineering study. Due to the lack of permanent resonance in the area of SCP-2303, minimum security perimeter protocols are in effect. Monitoring and documentation of SCP-2303 phenomenon is to be performed via automated means whenever feasible. In cases where direct observation must be performed, standard memetic hazard safety procedures are to be instituted. All suspected SCP-2303 phenomena are to be independently investigated and confirmed to the extent possible before being formally entered into the research log. SCP-2303 research is assigned to Mobile Task Force-59, Barcaros. Members of MTF-59 are currently subject to Provisional Security Clearance Authorization. Provisional status will be re-evaluated on ██████ per the standard 5-year probationary period for special recruitment personnel. Description SCP-2303 is an abandoned high-rise building located in the ghost city of Ciudad in Crucijada in the Rio Negro province of Argentina. SCP-2303 is the apparent focal point for recurring episodes of anomalous information transfer. As observed through specialized methodology and equipment, SCP-2303 is host to a phenomenon wherein concepts and ideas that are not fully realized and never implemented by their originators are communicated to observers in the vicinity. These concepts range widely across the spectrum of human endeavor, and have in the past included proposed artworks, philosophical schools of thought, political systems, scientific theorems, and public works projects. Untransmitted within SCP-2303 may be observed through a variety of media. Appliances such as antenna-equipped televisions and radios, which are powered on but not set to an occupied frequency, are capable of receiving and displaying audio and visual information. These typically take the form of short sporadic bursts of interrelated information, such as sequential scenes from a motion picture or related tracks from a musical album. SCP-2303 has been outfitted with monitors and recording devices throughout its structure in order to observe this information. In order to observe more abstract concepts such as philosophical precepts or hypothetical political movements, direct observation is required. A methodology for discerning the outside influence of SCP-2303, as opposed to inherent thought processes in the observer, was observed by former group of interests GX-5573. A loose collective of academics, artists, and amateur researchers from throughout southern Argentina who first encountered the anomaly. This methodology incorporates elements of autohypnosis, meditation techniques developed by indigenous Tewelche tribespeople, and activities similar to the spiritualist practices of automatic writing and psychometry. Individual works and concepts encountered within SCP-2303 are observable for a time period of between three days and five weeks. Information presented within SCP-2303 will become less contextualized and coherent from occurrence to occurrence, until the unifying concept decays and is no longer observable. The manifestation of ideas presented in SCP-2303 do not appear to be linked chronologically to the originators. While concepts imagined within the past thirty years comprise the majority of observed data, older ideas have been documented, in some cases originating hundreds of years prior to observation. Addendum 2303.1 Concepts observed within SCP-2303 Floors 1-12 Artistic Works Location observed Description Notes Floor 8 Hallway Inmate Art Exhibit Ferguson Prison Correctional officers at Ferguson Prison in Midway, Texas considered staging a public exhibition of paintings by inmates as a means of improving morale and performing local community outreach. Most of the works submitted were painted by ██████, a particularly notorious offender convicted of multiple counts of murder. Floor 3 Room 32 Sequels to The Last Temptation of Christ Two concepts were observed in this location, but were interrelated. The first was a planned novel by author William Styron following up on the events of the original work by Nico's Kazanzakis, told from the perspective of Judas. The second was an adaptation of the proposed Styron project into a film directed by filmmaker Terrence Malick. While no evidence exists that Styron ever advanced beyond discussing the idea, the film adaptation apparently progressed to the point of obtaining a commitment from actor Harvey Keitel to reprise the role of Judas before the project was abandoned. Floor 5 Ceiling Cross Space Alternate Soundtrack to a Serbian Film This occurrence consisted of one hour and fifty-seven minutes of music intended to serve as a soundtrack to the motion picture of Serbian film, recorded by Industrial Noise Act Pharmacon. This was apparently intended to broaden the film's appeal to American audiences. The film was ultimately scored by Serbian musician Wyklah Skye. Floor 11 Room 8 Comedic Spoken Word Performance 2011 Hodge A group of students at the International Islamic University in Islamabad considered holding a stand-up comedy festival at the Mikot Karn Al-Manazil prior to the 2011 Hodge as an attempt to create positive coverage in Western media outlets. Several established performers had been committed to the project before it was aborted. Floors 13-19 Religion and Philosophy Location Observed Description Notes Floor 17 Room 12 Treaties on the Importance of Self-Extinction This work, written by an unknown scholar, consisted of a discussion between eight characters citing the works of Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, Avicenna, and several lesser-known figures and philosophical thought, making an argument for the moral imperative of suicide. The scholarly citations and style of writing suggest that the work was considered during the 9th century AD by an author residing in Morris, Cordova. Making this entry the oldest-observed, unimplemented concept found within SCP-2303 to date. Floor 19 Room 32 Church of the Twelfth Prophet A nascent religious movement before ultimately disbanding in 2004, this doctrine held that the Mahdi, a messianic figure prominent in Islam, is also the twelfth guru of Sikhism. ████ The individual claiming to be the epitomist twelfth prophet was provisionally classified as a person of interest due to suspected anomalous phenomena associated with their activities before disappearing in January 2005. Floor 14 North Elevator Shaft Brewsterism This phenomenon was a school of intellectual thought, discussed among a group of doctoral students at the University of Salzburg, proposing the infallibility of the writings of Harold Brewster, an unemployed Irish university professor residing in the Weimar Republic during the 1920s. Post-observational verification of Brewster's papers reveals several anarchanistic commentaries on modern fields of science, such as biomolecular engineering, M-theory, and exoplanetary astronomy. Brewster's papers also contain lengthy nonsensical exhortations against activities such as creating music, riding bicycles, and sleeping. The majority of Brewster's writings are suspected to have been destroyed, immediately prior to the abandonment of Brewsterism by its proponents. Floor 18 Air Vent Between Rooms 3 and 9 6th Meditation on the Actualization of Salvation Extent materials related to this concept consist of 255 wheat-pasted flyers distributed throughout urban areas in the Kitchener, Ontario metropolitan region. The only information on the flyers consisted of the phrase, 6th Meditation on the Actualization of Salvation, an address of a private residence in Bujumbura, Burundi, in an appointed time of 2300 hours, July 29, 2005. Based on observational data, this meeting was intended to be a gathering of unknown persons with the intent of generating a thought-storm entity through anomalous means. Flyers were intended to be posted in 18 additional cities and 15 countries before this project was abandoned. Floor 20-27 Public Works and Large-Scale Coordinated Projects Floor 26, Room 21 Proposed Australian Space Program Confirmed by examination of classified documents, several officials in the Australian Ministry of Industry, Innovation and Science proposed a multi-billion-dollar investment in a new space exploration initiative, culminating in an interstellar satellite mission. Detailed information of this proposal ceases sometime around the launch of a research mission bound for the Saturnium Moon of Iepetus. Floor 21, Room 6b Low-Cost Cryonics Initiative A crowd-funded project was considered by ██████ a high-profile startup investor in Scottsdale, Arizona to construct several low-cost facilities designed to house large quantities of cryo-preserved human remains. This project was intended to increase public awareness, acceptance and adoption of cryonics as a funerary practice. Floor 20, Bain Utility Access Hall Carnally River Dam A hydro-engineering firm based in the United Kingdom was considering a proposal to construct a massive dam project on the Carnally River in Nepal. Despite no evidence that the project ever progressed beyond internal planning discussions, the concept engendered several large protests in the poly-rural areas, as well as a speech in the Indian Parliament, condemning the project as a theft of resources that cannot go unanswered. Floor 23 Lobby Zambezi Superdeep Borehole Sometime during the 1970s, Mozambican officials were presented with a plan for a deep drilling project intended to penetrate the Earth's crust 50 kilometers offshore in the Indian Ocean. As part of an experimental new method for hydrocarbon and mineral extraction, of note is the fact that the proposed site would eventually be used for a similar project in connection with SCP-2798. Floor 28-31 Science Location Observed Description Notes Floor 29 Cafeteria Argus Radio Observatory System This proposal was discussed in three separate meetings between entrepreneur Jeff Bezos and SpaceX COO Gwen Shotwell, centering around a prospective $50 billion investment in a network of omnidirectional radio telescopes dedicated to searching for evidence of extraterrestrial civilizations to be known collectively as the Argus Radio Observatory System. The project was not discussed again after the third meeting between Bezos and Shotwell, documented to have occurred on the campus of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Floor 30 Room 13 Engineered Anti-Siphalous Fage Introduction In 2011, researchers at Moscow Medical Academy claimed to have developed a species of bacterial phage that would eliminate all forms of syphilis. In a meeting with Kremlin officials later that year, the lead project researcher proposed to introduce the bacterial phage into the wild throughout Russia as a public health measure. This plan was rejected by the Kremlin three weeks later. Floor 27 Room 1 Superconducting Supercollider This particle accelerator complex proposed in the 1970s in the United States would have been the world's largest particle accelerator, approximately twice as large as the Large Hadron Collider and projected to generate approximately three times its energy. This project was formally canceled by the United States Congress in 1993. Floor 32 Classified Location Observed Description Notes Floor 32 Grand Hall The Man at the Threshold Data Restricted to Level 5 Clearance Addendum 2303.2 MTF-59 Introductory Statement From Oralea Rojas to Guest 4939 RE None Attachment Handbook59.PDFSecurityApp.PDFHRHPlants.XLSOpenThisLast.XYXDon'tOpen.AAD Let's get this thing out of the way. This is 59, and most of us were inducted to the Foundation from outside. You are joining us with none of our history. That's good. You are a barcaro now.  The bosses above told you to document this and research it. And what have you? Don't worry. We're going to do plenty of that. But really, you're here to watch these things in the tower go away and disappear. To make sure they go away and disappear.  You'll find that out soon. All the formal stuff and the manuals are there. You'll read them eight times without me needing to tell you. Oh man, the culture shock. Most of you aren't from the Southern Hemisphere. We do things different. Yeah, read the manuals. Then close those and listen to me. You're going to be in that tower soon. Exciting, right? They tell me people ask to be here. You're going to read the manuals no matter what I tell you, so you're going to be on your guard so much that you'll think you'll never let it down again.  One day and it's going to be soon, I promise you. You're going to think, hey, that one's a pretty good idea. Bring that one out, man. I know you are. It happens a lot. It happened to me on the top floor. I thought I knew better than this madhouse that we were also smitten by. I told everyone that we needed to save something from here. We should pull it back out, I said. This is just too beautiful. And it was. We all dropped to our knees to see it, even after it started doing what it did. When it was over, I ran as fast as I could into the night to find anyone that could help us put things back. There was a lot to clean up. Here's your first order. Don't ask about the other Barcaros from before this was an official outfit. There's eight of us left from the top floor thing. There were a lot more before. Here's your other first order.  Every single thing you see in there is a painted corpse. That's because it's a grave. All of it stays in there to rot and die, no matter what, or I put the bullet in your head myself. I look out for my people, and you're one of mine now. Welcome aboard, Barcaro. Rojas.


Sadhguru, we as students stay away from our homes, from the familial, emotional comforts. In terms of our careers, we move out seeking greener pastures. In that, we seek company in opposite sex. Some people get into relationships which gradually progresses to physical intimacy. Sadhguru, the question is then why as generations we cannot discuss it openly or is premarital sex still a taboo? See, this is not some kind of a prescription. This is an individual need. Right now, we must understand this. In this society, we handled human sexuality like this. Before a girl attends puberty, they are named. This is the boy you're going to marry at the age of six or seven. They don't marry, but they say they keep telling him, your uncle's son, this guy, you're going to marry him, you're going to marry him. They're telling him, you're going to marry her. So they have not seen each other, they have not met each other, they have nothing going, but emotionally they're being bound. Before they touch each other physically, they want them to be emotionally bound in a strong way. So this is the technique of the culture, how they dealt with it. So when you become or attain to your puberty, when your body blossoms into certain possibilities, now your emotions are already with somebody.  So by the time they're fifteen, sixteen, the girl gets married. By the time they're seventeen, eighteen, the boy gets married. They get into agriculture or business or whatever, whatever their activity. So one important aspect of the life of the youth is settled. One thing is emotion, another thing is a physical requirement. Both are settled at an early age and of course, those days children came within a year or two years. So they got engaged and they got busy and the life went on. All right? Today our lives have changed because by the time you finish education, most people are minimum twenty-four, twenty-five years of age. PhD means thirty, what thirty-five? I don't know what. It depends how kind your professor is. So let us say average education time is twenty-five years of age. By the time they get employment and settle down somewhere to reasonable financial security, thirty years of time. All right? The peak of human hormonal function is between fifteen to thirty. You're not teaching people some ascetic way to live. You're not giving them some sadhana, that they're transforming their energy into some other possibility and attending to something else. There is no such thing. And there's close proximity with opposite sex. If you don't want to address it, then you will create an unhealthy society, very unhealthy society which unfortunately is finding expression in violent ways in our society because we've not addressed the fundamental needs of a human being. First thing is nourishment. If nourishment is taken care of, you must understand nourishment is survival. Once survival is taken care of, naturally the species, this is not even individual, the species that you are is longing to reproduce. This is how it's built. It's longing to reproduce because this is survival of the species. If people don't reproduce, there is not going to be human race, isn't it? So your body and your mind plays many tricks and how when you look at somebody, you suddenly think they're the most beautiful, suddenly you think they're the most fantastic, you will discover later. Many things. But initially, everything is clouded.  Suddenly you became fourteen, every little bump on somebody's body is a world by itself. Simply because your hormones begin to influence everything. In a way your intelligence is hijacked by your hormones. Now, this is not to be judged as bad or good, this is a natural process. There may be a few people who will go beyond that. It's fantastic for them if they can go beyond that. They're not compulsive about it, they went beyond it. Fantastic for that person.  Such a thing doesn't happen. So definitely the debate of when and how sexuality should happen has to come in. But now we're still having a certain cultural aspects to us that we are an emotional lot. We are still an emotional lot, people suffer immensely when things happen without the needed emotions, a whole lot of people at least. There may be a few people who are above that, but a whole lot of people suffer. So for our country, for our society, how to deal with this without causing a major disruption in the social structure is something that we must debate. You must do research on it, how to do it.
