Our sense of morality and sacrifice has been severely distorted and twisted because of the acceptance and normalization of abortion. Just imagine if I posted a video where I said something like, if me and my newborn son were both drowning in a pool and they could only save one person, I would want them to save me. You would rightly point out that I was a terrible father and downright selfish. Many that are watching this will say that these two scenarios are completely different because they don't recognize that the child in the womb is just that, a child. They see it as potential life, maybe worth a quarter or an eighth of what an adult life is worth. In our sin, we shudder at the thought of sacrificing our lives for another, but in God's abounding grace, he did just that for us. He sacrificed himself, taking the punishment that we deserve for our own selfishness, making us into a new creation, giving us new desires that we would value others greater than ourselves.


Okay, we're back. We're live. It's Coronaville. What next? I'm Jay Fidel. This is Think Tech the guy who just sat down That's Winston Welch and Stephanie Dalton is with us. Okay, and Cynthia can't make it today But we send our regards in any event. This is a Coronaville and we have a lot to talk about let me throw a Let me throw a Ringer at you guys. I got a cold five or ten minutes ago from an old friend of mine kind of Republican And he's he's criticizing both Republicans and Democrats and he's worried about Both federal and state making mistakes so that we have, you know This horrendous situation on our hands and it reminds me as we discussed before the show of the comments by general horror Where he suggests I'm gonna have civil unrest here if we don't have food Or even if we do we may have civil unrest and can get your comments on that Winston What do you think about that? I Mean anything's possible, but I don't we're not Seem to be there and as long as people have you know food and shelter and and their needs are being that which we can do by disbursements and by You know cash payments for the while until things start going again. There's no reason for that to happen It's just it's his job is emergency management You know Planning and seeing what would happen in worst-case scenarios We need to have people like that But we don't need to manifest that here or anywhere else in this nation certainly Yeah, hope so hope so, but of course right now we have so many confusing signals that There are people who could get angry or feel liberated in some way if you feel liberated about You know crashing into the Michigan State capital and you may you may feel liberated about other things like with weapons So what is what is your thought about this Stephanie? I? Am terrified frankly I heard I heard about that yesterday, and I just never expected anything like that to come up here But then I'm not enough obviously in touch with the people who are out at Aloha Stadium today getting food because they can't buy it Don't have enough money to buy it So I guess we need to have more of a scan about how people are doing here And what it wears the break point and how can we avoid that break point? What can we do? I mean, I'm happy to help if Well, yeah, I mean if the if the food system doesn't hold up and that means the free food because that's the ultimate You know bottom line of it when people have no other choice and they need to have free food You know that is that's gonna be really serious And I wonder if we have a metric on that. I had discussion yesterday before With our chief scientist Mike to work and he said, you know the thing missing in this whole examination of the reopening is a any kind of metric to determine, you know the moral dilemma here the moral dilemma being You worry about people dying from a failure of the economy. You worry about people dying from from covet and and if you decide That there are more people more suffering going to be from the economy Then maybe that's the priority If you decide that there's fewer people who die and have suffering from the economy the failure of the economy You know, then you focus on that Since we you know, we have all these numbers going on about the about covet Uh, I don't know if our analysis is all that good, but we do have numbers What we don't have is numbers on how well we might do In reopening the economy and that's that's really important and it's not beyond analysis, you know, you can use various ways to analyze the state of the economy And and the key to that by the way according to our chief scientist Mike to work Is that you have to examine parts of the economy and see how well they're doing We have the ability to do this. So if I tell you that, you know reopening the restaurant saved so many jobs But not reopening the theaters cost so much money And if I tell you that this results in suicides It results in in the the The The kind of disease that comes from stress for not having money You know, then then you got to factor that in of course you have pre-existing conditions And you have to factor that in you said the key to Metrics on this was to compare the number of people who died from stress Today as against the number of people who died from stress a year or six months ago And using AI you can actually make metrics on this You could have an index of stress related illness or suicide Because of the failure of the economy and you could compare that to deaths from covid I mean, you know, it strikes me as a really interesting way of looking at it We are not looking scientifically, you know at the the effects of the degradation or resurrection of the economy And we should be we haven't really analyzed that when trump gets up and says we're going to open the economy He doesn't know what he's saying and the cdc makes a report Maybe with some wisdom in it and he shelves that so the public has no clue what it means And I frankly think a lot of the governors don't have a clue. What do you guys think Stephanie? What do you think? How do we make this moral decision? Well, frankly, I think that a lot of people have done some analysis about that certainly not You know with with the tools of statistics and and that kind of analysis, but I believe that there's a lookout there because I I was Fighting to figure out why anybody would go to a restaurant as we've seen all these people go to in the last few days or weeks But I I figure that what people have done is they've seen that the majority of the cases are poor people The majority of the cases are people of color The majority of the cases are those who already have Underlying health conditions and they're looking at themselves as in the prime of life and they're not affected And they and that's why it's not a belief. They've done an analysis. They are Inune to a certain extent. I agree with you. They have been doing analyses, but Um, so that The population that demographic has made its decision and they're going to go out. Okay more power to him if that's going to help bring Richard, do you think we can do better on trying to figure out the moral dilemma? Who says we can always do better. Um, I think that Fauci said that Um, what when asked can we do couldn't could could we have done better? We are a nation That always wants to do better. That defines us as the people So that doesn't end. You don't get to just get to the end To a point and say, oh, we did this was perfect and there's it'll never get better. But you know, I Did you use the word perfect just now? There is no perfect. Yeah, we get to the point and then not in the white house then because whenever the word perfect comes up You know, it doesn't mean perfect any alternative realities not included, but otherwise as as americans basically we want to be More efficient more effective more time more whatever we we always want to better ourselves in our society Well, I'll add one to you We've had a lot of discussion with our historian john davidan This is this country is filled with american exceptionalism and that means we're great We we're great as a people we're great as an economy. We're great as a global power We're all great and the problem with exceptionalism is if it ever was true, it is not true now We are exceptionally not exceptional right now So I think the old notion of being great is over and we have to be realistic She's shaking her head. Yeah, you can be realistic and and aspire towards greatness But part of our greatness and exceptionalism and I probably will count myself a little bit in that category is that We have the ability for introspection and we have historically had that and right now We have a little bump in the road and we have bumps in the road. It's towards a more perfect unionist we we are we're in a moment of Existential crisis right now, but we will get through it and we will come out on the other side but your opening question I think is Is important uh that we are looking at we're at the the way that I've been terming it is the uh The beginning at the end of the beginning. So now that we have dealt with this, okay How do we here in hawaii? We have a luxury of being able to do this They have given up in the mainland on the idea of containment. They are going to let the laboratory of america be like sweden and say This virus is just going to go where it goes Let's do the best we can and certain things like old folks home or whatnot, but basically Here in hawaii, uh, you know, there was a great article I thought my cliffs slater in honolulu star advertisers paper on monday on the 11th Of may and he talks about a plan be another approach and it's a It's a it's a way to look at this and say it's not either or it's it's both and maybe we can have an approach that That looks at the as you were saying the devastation To the economy of people's lives as it increase, uh, you know alcohol is drug abuse suicides, uh You know domestic violence and and then just the the rod of the soul not Not having a meaningful Work until that time we can support. I totally agree. We have to be smart Like singapore we have to be nimble We have to you know be aware and we have to be ready to react on what we learn Because we don't know how this works and we don't know how this the social sociology works And so this is a time when you know when think tech can be involved in an important conversation And the conversation is what's going on and and what new um, what new Inventory of of tools can we bring to bear to make it work? I mean for example, UH said it's going to start Physical classes again for the fall semester There was an article to say that most colleges Most of higher education in this country are not going to do that. There's only a handful of of, uh, You know colleges universities that are actually telling you that they're going to start open classes And reopen the classes in september, but you know what? There's a benefit in thinking that you can there's also a benefit in watching everything so carefully And maybe changing your mind You know, it could be that is the kind of strategy that you have to look at To say okay, we'd like to do it. It's aspirational But we're going to be very aware of how things are going because things could go badly as that guy bright said in congress and as fouchy is saying It's it's things could go badly and you'll have to react. You have to be nimble. Stephanie Would you weigh in on this, please? I'm just weighing in on that. There's no reason why we can't do what we want here in Hawaii because we can go outside And have classes outside. We don't and even if we are inside Many buildings are not air conditioned at a qh or I get maybe I haven't been up there lately enough But anyway of the circulation that you're not in a heating system that's recycling So I we could do more and and that's what I say about america We could do more but being in this situation Is unreal and just not of our choosing. We're in this situation because somebody else is controlling Everything including the cdc. Can you imagine? Could you ever have imagined this? There is no reason that we are not exceptional and leading the world on this But well, but we're not though. Stephanie. The reality is NIH has been politicized CDC has been politicized FDA has been politicized and of course, you know bureaucratic they become horrendously bureaucratic What was the last thing it took five weeks to approve? Something that was critical to the the future of public health You know, I mean, it's they're all kind of missing in action These are the agencies we have relied on or believed we could rely on all these years And your friend trump, you know has defused You know, is it his yeah, okay Well, he's he's he pulled the wings out of all of them. And so they're not really functioning And so what is that? Is it leaving to the individual governors? Some of whom are republican and they follow trump And you know and do bizarre things You leave it to the you know the the individual communities Don't you think for a national and international epidemic pandemic? We need leadership We need the world health organization to lead us. We need the white house to lead us. We're not getting that How can we possibly achieve national testing? For example Or making a PPE with the defense production act if we don't have any leadership and ps I think we can all assume we don't have any leadership We have whistleblowers. We have whistleblowers, but not leadership Let's see if we have leadership. There's example of a potential leadership Let's see if the leadership picks up on this and it's out of the house. It's representatives They want to use an americorps model to hire hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people to get out there and do Uh track and trace. Okay, so they believe that Yeah, they can put that model into play and start picking up on these hundreds of people that have to be tracked every every day And that's an enormous task and that's the only way it's going to be accomplished is with numerous Worker bees and and at the same time that would pull in jobs just like this The conservation corps the ccc of the new deal area Okay, well, what do you think? I saw you shake your head Winston, but I couldn't tell whether it was left to right or up or down who's gonna let it The uh We do have leadership j it's just maybe not in the traditional places that we expected We're having governors form packs inside of the nation We're having leadership from say, I don't know the prime minister of new zealand from the chancellor of germany from mayors from From companies, we're having it pop up all over the place and The reality may be that as as we evolve as america and americans and we have always evolved that we That donald trump is forced to sent to a new um regionalism and federalism and that may be It's a new testing ground of what's going to work and what isn't going to work and Certain companies are going to say you have to do this and others are going to say you don't and Certain states are going to say you have to do this and others don't and they will And judging on the basis of how their population reacts Hopefully we'll be able to look at each other and say that's working there Maybe we should do adopt that here or that wasn't you kind of have somebody making the decision Winston somebody who has got to be Cogent and aware and logical and even well educated about such things making that decision Just being aware is not enough you have to actually be able to make a decision It is it's happening. I mean look at hawaii. We we we Even when we may want to criticize certain government actions are lack thereof. We have shut down the virus in the state to One one new case a day there was no But now we're reopening We're reopening tomorrow. We're reopening everything is going to get reopened here And we're going to have tourists by the thousands and we learned from that And and we will learn and if we start saying wow, you know what there was just this entire whatever nursing homes or Shopping centers that that everybody works at gets infected and then we say that death rate is not acceptable So what did we learn from that? We learned that we have to implement this policy of that policy And we don't have time to learn slowly here You're going to have one patient comes in and infect infects a whole bunch of people you have Wuhan all over again So the learning has to be very quick. It has to be 24 by 7 Okay, and the decision process has to be 24 by 7 and you have to use every tool So I want to I want to go to testing for a minute and talk about two myths Okay, the first myth is and Stephanie you mentioned this is Let's try to get herd immunity And that means arguably 60 of the people in the given community have to have the disease But if you have 60 it's a myth 60 of the people and who knows whether that's the right percent Then uh, then they will be infected That's that's the assumption of herd immunity and if they will be infected that x percent and a higher percent for seniors Okay, will die Die die is that what we really want? Is that a solution? Are we serious about herd immunity? Isn't it better to flatten the curve and wait for a vaccine? Well, well j we have no indication that there is any such thing as herd immunity with this virus As I mentioned the black plague has no herd immunity. The whole the whole village is is consumed They're all dead you walk through it's empty So we don't know what this Walked through in the aftermath and it's so we don't know if that is a viable Uh condition. Okay. I'm with you. Where where are you on this for the most thing? 5 t's also in the newspaper testing Tracing tracking technology and training These are not do we have that? We are going towards that we're going towards that that was from carl kim as a derp professor at new age We're moving towards that show about this Yeah, we're we're a smart we are we do have smart people. We do have we nimble They are going the cream is going to rise to the top. I mean eventually it's the the truth will get out and The best truth will get out and there may be more than one truth I mean the way that that south koreans are doing it. They didn't close down restaurants They didn't close down a lot of stuff But what they did find was they opened up the disco and people got infected. So What did they learn? Don't open up the disco right now, but you can still have your restaurants open and you can do Let's take that example That really works if you're quick, you know, you see that the the disco is a problem You close it down But you also have to prevent whatever you saw as a problem from propagating, you know from doing contagion How do you do that? What do you do that with testing and tracking, right? So still today We have a problem in testing and we have a problem in tracking despite the fact that some people are going to be hired We need to hire them right now. We need to train them right now And we need we need to have testing right now and furthermore and this is the myth I was referring to Everybody says oh, we tested x number of people today. Whether it's hundreds or thousands And we have a cumulative testing, you know, we've cumulatively tested x number of millions of people around the country That that's that's wrong thinking in my opinion Because you have to keep on testing them You have to test them surgically. You have to test them quickly. You have to test them with a non-invasive test So that they come to you And you can't have the you know this kind of A Parameter where you're only going to test them if they come to you and tell you they got they got the gross symptoms You know cdc has added double the number of symptoms That that take place with with cove it and the testing is based on the old Minimal symptoms like fever and can't breathe and whatever else just like three or four things So my point is are we really being nimble on testing and are we willing to test again and again And we're willing to track so that we know who to test and who's got it and who's giving it to this We have the science that we're not doing And if we don't do it we risk an infection out of the disco Well, I think we're not doing what korea did at all and we're missing an entire Piece of that act and that's going to keep us from containing this thing For instance, they find the per they they hear about the breakout or their reports come in or people say it They go immediately and get them as you say jay they go after Where the virus is and do the testing and if you're positive you do not go home You do not go home. In fact, you don't go home waiting for your test result You sit on the chair for three days until it comes back and then if you're positive You were isolated We have a guy coming on the show tomorrow who was a researcher an empty researcher at Michigan State University and he's got a test which is non-invasive a swab in the mouth That that takes minutes okay And and I I understand that it's accurate too He's and it's new technology. I don't know if he's patented it or whether he's going to give it away And he's been waiting on approval for this test for over a month Um, and there must be others like that But then like my concern is you know, if this is really an emergency if it's really a war Let's fight it Let's do this stuff right away once you identify testing as important that you must Test and analyze and determine the the the parameters for testing Um, so don't you agree with tonight? I don't see you shaking your head up or down now Don't you agree that that's true? And if you want to do the korean thing if you want to do the smart nimble Awareness thing you've got to have testing and you've got to have new systems for testing Well new systems certainly and part of that does include testing but We don't know what does the testing mean that means that you were exposed to it and you had it and does that mean you can't get it again We're seeing people that are testing positive again after they've had it So maybe they're getting another strain of it or we don't know exactly what that means But we do know agree with me that you have to test over and over again And that when somebody says, oh, we have done five million tests in the country that is not probative I see very easily Jay. I mean first of all We're protected on this island. Basically We're you know, we're down to single digit cases every day one two We at this point we can test everybody who you've been around by by your apple phone or your your samsung You see who you came into contact with within six feet and they get a notice that says hey You were around this. We're not telling you who it was go get tested It can be wiped out here. But then we have to test everybody I don't know if they rolled it out. Yeah, but at this point we can Anybody coming into the state they get three tests 40 hours before they get on the plane Right before they get on the plane at the departure lounge in a 10 minute test And then after they get here maybe four tests and then another one three days later Is it is it? something we're not used to as Americans you know having to say where we're staying it sounds kind of You know soviet Well, it's a pandemic. So we're not trying to infringe on people's civil liberties We're trying to keep people Safe and alive and there's ways that we can do it that are better And that that allow us to keep our liberties But also that protect the public health and because we're in hawaii We have a very unique laboratory just like new zealand does South korean another way because they're basically an island You know cut off as they are so We have different laboratories where we're going to see different things We're going to see the mainland go with these ideas of seeing how herd immunity works We're going to see sweden versus norway We're going to have a lot of data sets to come to compare with and we're going to see How it's all going to come out in the wash and there's no answer. That's right right now 100 we're learning we're learning fast and we're we can adapt as we move along We better we better do that We better do that in hawaii especially because we have all these potential Infectious people coming around we better test them and we better enforce the quarantine You know, it's not clear to me what we do if we find we have somebody infected We send them home that we put them in a hotel room There was one thing about we find them five thousand dollars But does that mean he stays in a hotel room plus he pays the five? I mean we have really got to discourage this and we got to control it And we got to do something when we find a live case that could be it could infect the you know, the whole state It only takes one It only takes one and we have to be really really nimble So we're kind of relying on our leadership on david higay on josh green and uh curco well On general hara for that matter We have to do exactly what you're saying and we have to do it right away We can't do this in retrospect We have to be really smart when we you're shaking your head Stephanie Well, yes, I am because you're right on the mark right after what Winston says has to happen That's complex enough But then you have to do something with these infected people You can't just say hello I'll go on out about your business And they because that's why we need to test again because we got to find out if if they get reinfected But my point is that It's costly because where are these people going to go who's going to isolate them And they did that in the in asia But what we need to do is we need some partnership with big business here Most of these hotels in waikiki are not local operations. These are huge big chains. They are multi billionaires They need to kick in to to take care of some of this because we can't say go to your hotel room For 14 days and sit there or stay in the hotel because we can't put the hanalu polis department All down in waikiki to make sure all these visitors are staying in their hotels. We need some cooperation. Oh, Stephanie You're right on the money literally So here here's the state with a billion dollar shortfall at least I I would venture to say it's way more than that And then and the legislature just came back in and they got all these You know propositions and initiatives and bills and they got to deal with it and all that and query Whether they have the money and Stephanie's idea is a pretty good idea because we have we The tourist industry the state with the engine of its economy being in waikiki We have to spend a lot of money to make winston's things come true Winston, don't you agree with Stephanie? There must be a way to get that from the guys who Who tend to make them, you know tend to benefit but most that is these big You know global corporations that own these huge hotels and generally speaking of huge profits And we'll have huge profits again if we succeed Don't you think they should chip in to paying this enormous? You know bill we're gonna get for doing what you're saying Well, we all need to chip in this is not an epidemic that's only affecting hotels or workers at hotels or anybody else Everybody needs to step up to the plate. There's a great place for hotels right now. They're 99 empty They should be housing the homeless if nothing else There's a lot of hotels there that that we can solve a couple problems right now and say hey You know what we're done with being homeless right now. It's a public health threat on many levels social moral political economic just people showing up in emergency rooms with them, you know The diabetic infection we can solve a lot of things right now. Yes, people do need to be housed in these things But somehow it could be a tax levy on Business coming in that we say Sorry, you've tested positive But for local people if you've got that that's why we have a tax base as far as getting back to your in earlier point We could very easily give every person in this state who needs it above Below a certain income level who's not working right now an ebt card that says here is you know 500 bucks a thousand bucks a month for you to spend on food Here's a voucher for your rent until we get the sink up and floating Now people will say oh, well, why should they work then people want to work j they want to contribute They want to be productive members of society Uh, there will be some that that aren't certainly but for right now We stabilize people with support that is common sense that's compassionate and that's that's that's sane While we get through this together. This is not a uh only them only us And you know It's complex we have The whole legislature is listening to you and us. So Stephanie. We're out of time. I'm I'm really sorry I'm more sorry than I think I've ever been that we're out of time, but we are out of time So why don't you take a minute and close? Well, I'm afraid that if you're asking me to close or you You have one minute to close don't don't fritter away now. All right, I think one minute to close I think we have Covered the the course here We have absolutely done a very good analysis from multiple point of views On this program and and we've pointed out the the very challenging daunting tasks that hawaii has without even We also address the national crisis But uh here in hawaii We certainly do and we have a chance to lead the nation because as for instance we're pointing out we're isolated We we have a lot of control of our situation if we want to use it So that's the question. Are they actually going to apply all of these plans and notions? For containing the virus because if they don't and if the deep pockets of business are not available To hawaii, then we're not going to be able to do the the sufficient job of isolation And uh, so this is okay. All right, and winston you shake your head up and down left to right on that You know what? It's it's complex We need a lot of brains. We need a lot of input. We need as much Discussion and transparency depth so that the cream can rise to the top and we choose Make the best choices and if we make a wrong choice, we make a better choice and we keep doing that Repeat until we have finished with this. Okay. Well, that I guess I what I hear you saying is we have to do coronaville What's next every week? We have to keep on doing this and it's not a problem because I wrote my notes I sent you guys my notes and we covered roughly 20 percent of what was on my notes. There's lots more to discuss Uh, thank you winston. Thank you. Stephanie. Uh, see you next time Yay


you today. If you're watching this you've already seen the video of me doing the pouring on this of the pouring of the acrylic paint. And I can tell you that I will be doing this again because this was fun. It's a great way to use up little bits of leftover paint and mediums that you have in your stash that you have to really use up or they're going to just go bad. This is a great way to use them up. I did at the end pour glitter and seed beads and things into the paint while it was still wet and pretty fluid. And I got this really cool, it is so cool, the texture. I can't even tell you. It didn't drip all the way down the sides or I didn't tilt it enough to drip down all the sides. And I think I'm okay with that. I don't know if I'm going to just go ahead and like, you know, buff some paint in there or not. I may just leave it because I kind of like it. I will tell you that I did these on Sunday and today is Wednesday so it took that long for these to dry. This is the other small one that I did. They're so cool. I will be selling at least two of them in my Etsy shop and I'm not sure which two. I don't know yet. But here's the big one. So cool. I have to sign them. A lot of times when you see them do this acrylic pouring on canvas, you see that they really just pour the paint off into a trash can or something. And I wasn't really okay with that. I really wanted to save as much of it as I could. So I lined this cookie sheet with wax paper and I put some rice paper in there too. And it caught most of the paint. Some of it did leak out. I will tell you that this is still wet. It's Wednesday. It's still, can you see that? That's shiny because it's still wet. It is still, yeah, that is still wet. So I will be pulling this paper off. I will be saving it, letting it dry and soaking my cookie sheet to get as much of that off as I can. And this is going to be great. I mean, look at this. This is going to be fabulous like collage paper. I can't wait. I don't know if I'm going to be able to, oh, I guess I can get the rice paper off. Oh, look at that. Do you see that? That is cool. It won't all come off cleanly because it's too wet. I may just leave it. I may, I don't know. That's kind of cool. But I would definitely do something if you're going to try this to save the paint, if you can, because it's a shame to waste all that paint. I would let it drip and dribble and create some unique textures for you or line the bottom of your cookie sheet with a silicone, I'm sorry, a nonstick art mat or nonstick baking sheet so you can create an acrylic skin with the drippings or something like that because this is, this is cool. But using airbrush medium, pouring medium, glazing fluid to thin your paint is what you should do because if you use too much water, you're going to break down the polymers in the paint and then you're not going to get the results that you want and it's not going to last the test of time. But those mediums slow down the drying time of the acrylic paint and you can add like 20% water and then the medium. I probably use too much of the medium and of all the mediums that I stated from previous experiments, I know the airbrush medium is the one that takes the longest to dry and that is the one I wanted to use up because I didn't have very much of it and it was going bad. So that's it. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe and if you want to join one of my Facebook groups or support my channel, you can shop in my Etsy shop, the links for the Facebook groups and my Etsy shop are in the description below. Don't forget the most important thing though, go out and have a great day and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it, like playing with the pouring of the paint. All right, I'll see you later. Bye guys.


What is happening in the 21 convention Tampa, Florida? We have a pretty amazing speaker. He is the founder of the Direct Dating Summit. He, man, is somebody who is actually, I've surely seen YouTube videos of him. He's one of the most asked about guys here at the convention. And he is known for, well, I'd say many things, but destroying your fears as a man. If you have trouble approaching, meeting women, or working through some issue in your life, Sasha Daygame is the man to talk to. Come on stage, my man. Let's do it. Listen to that. What's up? How you guys feeling?  How you guys doing? All right, that's better. So my name's Sasha. And I'm a professional dating coach for many years before that, and still currently stand-up comedy. This is my thing. So I thought, wouldn't it be appropriate to start with a little joke? Yes?  Good. So my best friend, Jeff, in Toronto, is one of my best buddies, awesome guy. He's really helped me out through my life, a really loyal friend. And for me, that's one of the most important things, loyalty. So my buddy, Jeff, I come home one day. I was living with him for years. I come home one day, and Jeff loves this game Grand Theft Auto. This is years ago, this is Grand Theft Auto 2, right?  So I come in, and I walk in, and I see Jeff behind the computer, and he's there. And I just see him pressing the spacebar really fast. He's just there going, do-do-do-do-do-do. And I look up on the screen, and I see a guy's bicep, and he's holding a weight, and the guy's just working out this way. And I'm like, Jeff, what's going on, buddy? I don't understand what's happening. He's like, oh, I've got to get to this next mission, to this next level. But for me to succeed, I have to go on a date with this woman to do it.    And Jeff went for a stretch for like 10 years of not having sex, finally had some sex, but just was not interested in having sex.   And I think that's one of the biggest problems for men today. We're not really put into a situation where we have to face our fear, we actually have to become men. James mentioned this as well. And so we kind of become little bitches, and it's kind of normal, right?      And you end up living a mediocre life, and again, other speakers have spoken about that. So I thought, let's talk about, let's make my whole talk about destroying approach to anxiety and social fear. How's that? Good? And I want it to be, I want it to be, yes, that's right. And I want it to be interactive, so I've got these Sasha day game condoms. That's right. And you can get one of these if you're interactive. It says, got game in the front, here's the best part, you open it up, and it says inside, we don't sell condoms, we create men that need condoms. That's right, so, yep.  So that's all. Leave it at that. All right, so let's get cracking. I'm not, I don't know, I'm not very, there's going to be weird stuff in here. I'm not a professional maker of screens. Okay, so, who has social fear?   Everyone has social fear, okay? It's not like, oh, that's good, it's afraid. Everybody has it. So, there you go, nice professional slide.   Everybody does that. So, some people might say, well, you're gonna do a hypnosis. I don't trust hypnosis, okay? It doesn't work for everybody, it's expensive.  I'm just like, no, man. James Marshall spoke about this earlier. If you don't have to work for it, right? It's probably not worth much, am I right?  I think you really have to make deliberate, conscious change and that will lead to permanent change. You have to work for it. You gotta feel that pain and get through it to actually get results. So, first I'm gonna do a little review. I've put these out in one of my talks before. So, just a quick review of some crucial mindsets and I'm gonna actually get into my system for permanently removing social fear. So, that's right.  I hate it. Seriously, and it's funny because like, there's so many guys from so many different cultural backgrounds all over the world and it doesn't matter where they are or where they come from, I'll point to a really beautiful girl and I'll just go over there and say, hi there, no.  Your whole life changes because you're just like, I'm just gonna do it.  It doesn't matter. If you're not afraid and you come up and actually face it and talk to women, just everything else falls into place. So, some of my mindsets, I think, are useful. Women are bored. Women are bored. Most women have mediocre lives. They walk around doing their thing. They go to work. They work for a few hours.  Maybe they'll talk to their girlfriend on the phone and they'll watch some movie and then they'll go to, they'll masturbate in a lot of cases and they'll go to bed. This goes on forever. There's not that many amazing, crazy things happening. And just by actually coming up to a girl and being like, hey, I want to talk to you. You look amazing. She's already going like this. I can't believe that happened. That's a great story. Even if she says no or she's married, odds are she's calling her friend going, this guy came up to me and told me I was sexy. I can't believe this. Obviously not in that manly voice. That'd be weird. But so women are bored and just recognize that you're giving women and other people you speak to a great story just by engaging them and giving them some kind of experience other than nobody talking to them. Does that make sense? Okay. So women are hornier than men. Does that come as a shock to anybody? No, they are. How do I know this? I know. So women are hornier than men.  We don't have one of those.  God, if you're listening, that's not fair and you know it. Anyway, but also if you've ever, like you see women have just as an idea, if you've read any of those books that have all those, you know, the secret garden and there's that other huge one, women's fantasies, all these books, if you actually read those books, their fantasies are crazy. Like it's unbelievable.  That's us. And maybe her friend was watching.  That's their fantasy.  And men are just like, yeah, I fucking, yeah, I watched a porn movie and a girl gave me a blow job at the same time. Cool, dude. So women are way, way hornier and if you actually have sex, anyway. So that's just an important thing.  They fucking, they're way worse than us. Okay. This is really big.  I just had to come over and meet you. How long does that take? 15 seconds, Max, you get a condom. You can get that later. But what was that sound like?  I threw a condom, it hit someone else. Okay. So it doesn't take long. Takes literally 10, 15 seconds, if that, to come over to a girl and tell her, hey, you look amazing and it makes women happy.  So it's a beautiful thing. It's excellent. It only takes a few seconds.  You don't go over there and make some woman's day or some person. All right. So this is a really big one. Nobody talks about this. Okay. So most things in Hollywood movies are absolutely bullshit, right? Like all the advice they do a lot, I just want to punch the screen. But there's one thing that's in those Hollywood movies that's actually true. And it's that women crave a magical moment. Now, can anyone kind of guess what that, what am I talking about here? Okay, well that's a little bit extreme. But yeah, sure, I joke about that on my boot camps. Did you have one as well? Something like that. So most girls meet guys in really unimpressive environments. They'll just be in a bar and some guy's hammered and he works up the courage and comes over, let me buy you a drink. And it's like so standard, it's horrific. That's why I really like meeting girls in everyday situations. Because odds are just by approaching her in a bookshop, on the street, on a bus, you're already kind of creating that magical moment, especially if you're authentic and you're direct with your intention. So a quick way to illustrate this is students will often ask me, what do I do if there's two girls or a group of girls?  Don't ever do that because you come off as this horny dude, right? Like you guys are hot. I'd bang any of you chicks. Bad. But the movie moment, even if there's four or five or six or 10 or 20 girls, it doesn't matter, I'll walk up and I'll be like, hey guys, don't worry, I'm not a lunatic. However, then I'll look at one girl in the eye and I'll say, you are absolutely gorgeous. I just have to meet you. What's your name? I'm Sasha. And I'll put out my hand. Why did that create a magical movie moment? For, well, I'd say many things, but destroying your fears as a man. If you have trouble approaching meeting women or working through some issue in your life, Sasha Daygame is the man to talk to. Come on stage, my man. Let's do it. Listen to that. There's many paths, but try and pick the path that's gonna serve you in the long run. And I go, no, all right, I forget the baby. How about a date? We'll start slow, okay? Simple, effective. Great, okay. So this is huge here. I love this. One of the most important things I've been teaching for years and years and years and years and years and people used to have, they'd pay a lot of money for this and pay attention.


Welcome to the Advocates, your Sunday reminder that important conversations are among the necessary tools for a saner society. I will be talking about good debt. Elijah Felix will be talking about the girl child, our time is now, our rights, our future. Victor and Ye Query will be talking about focus areas for the next Nigeria CU. So Lumoyan will be focusing on migration and its effects on the Nigerian economy. We'll be right back after the break. The debate on good debt and bad debt is a long standing one. On one side are those who strongly believe that all debt is bad. On the other side are those who believe that there is necessary debt and so if it is necessary then it must be good. Those who believe that all debt is bad do so mainly because in the scripture in Proverbs 22.7 says that the borrower is slave to the lender and they quote this believing that it was written as a warning against borrowing. However, I think that while it's a caution to borrowers, if you read the whole chapter and look at its context, it is also a warning to lenders not to take advantage of the poor in our society. I believe not all debt is bad and I would like to highlight some strategic ways to utilize debt. When we say the use of debt can be strategic you would immediately think maybe for business but no. Even for personal use sometimes debt is necessary. Not everything we do can be done with our own personal funds or at the pace at which we earn a salary. Strategic uses for personal debt. Education. The more education you have the greater your earning potential. Education also has a positive correlation with the ability to find employment. Educated people are more likely to find well-paying jobs and tend to have an easier time finding new jobs should the need arise. So an investment in education can often pay for itself within a few years of entering the workforce. However, not all degrees are of equal value. So consider both the short and long-term prospects for any field of study that appeals to you. Your own business. Money that you borrow to invest in your own business can also come under the heading of good debt. Being your own boss is often both financially and psychologically rewarding. It can also be very hard work and running your own business comes with risks. Many ventures fail but your chances for success are greater if you choose a field that you have some skill in and have already done the groundwork. Your home or other real estate. There are a variety of ways to make money in real estate. On the residential front, the simplest involves taking out a mortgage to buy a home, living in the home for a few decades and then reselling the home at a profit. Residential real estate or commercial real estate can be a source of cash flow, an eventual capital gain if you know what you're doing. Before you take a loan, however, there is something called a debt to income ratio. This simply means the percentage of your monthly income that goes to making your monthly debt repayments. Creditors use your DTI ratio to calculate how much they can lend to you. In Nigeria, labor law pegs the DTI ratio of salary earners at not more than 33.3% of your income. So whatever lending you do, you cannot exceed that ratio unless you go to unregulated lenders and loan sharks. Strategic uses of business loans. For fast growing businesses, it is near impossible to grow without using other people's money, either equity or debt. Many fast growing companies would prefer to use debt to support their growth rather than equity because it is a cheaper form of financing and you don't have to part with any of your equity. There must be sufficient operating cash flow generated by the business to service the debt's interest and principal repayment obligations or there would be severe consequences for the business. Some reasons why companies might elect to use debt rather than equity financing include. Debt can be a less expensive source of growth capital if the company is growing at a high rate. Building the business using debt is a way to consistently build equity value for shareholders as the debt repayment is paid. Debt can be somewhat less complicated to arrange than equity financing and may not require a shareholder approval. Once the debt is repaid, it's gone. Equity however remains outstanding unless repurchased by the company which typically requires the shareholder's consent. Debt can be used to finance a wide variety of business activities like working capital, capital expenditure to acquire inventory and also to finance equipment purchases. Debt is neutral, it depends on what you do with it that makes it good or bad. So it's advisable to use debt and drive it into production. Now when I mean production, I don't necessarily mean actually creating physical tangibles.  You can take that, provided that you can pay and then your comfort, your comfort staying at your house without being disturbed by whoever, the landlord or whoever would later generate into a peaceful mind that will make you more productive. So see, whichever things you do, let the debt be driven towards production either directly or indirectly, tangible or intangible. So that's my thinking. I like that. Yeah, and you know, just add a little bit to that. When I look at debt, I look at it from two perspectives, you know asset and liabilities, right? So debt can be an asset or can be a liability. If you have for instance a fantastic business idea, you know where you need money to finance it and you've done your financials and it makes sense, your projections make sense, then when you take debt to do that, you know you get returns and because you've also calculated what the debt, you know, the interest on the debt and it makes sense. So you do that.  So we must always think of debt in terms of, you know, investing it in assets versus liabilities. That's a nervous start. I think I pretty much agree with everyone. I mean, basically Tulu, you know, Elijah said, because at the end of the day, you want to think about what's to, oftentimes I think we should even start having a mindset re-engineering for people who take money because we use money, like I said, narrow escape to yourself problems. We're not thinking about how do we, what's the return on that? How do we recuperate, you know? So I think taking money as itself is something that should be good. In fact, people should be made to take loans, really. People don't understand how it works. But people don't understand how it works and we get so careless and, you know, see if some of these loan sharks, they'll call you. Mr. XYZ is an armed robber. He's a hire killer, you know. How much did he take? $12,000. If you think you used to start a hire killer, do you get so far? I get it. And I think most of these loan sharks just start that re-education and mindset programming of people. I think all that. Just like you are counting the lot at three pieces, I think these things are unregulated. Anything can happen in fact. But I just wonder how folks, all these folks in advance would like US, UK, somebody wants to buy an iPhone or an Apple gadget or something, is it a key? They want to walk all into business. We just throw it into the shop there and just get his credit card and just purchase this thing. And then they pay me back. Have you understood the system yet? You know, the credit system works very well there because they can track people. So we can track people with all our BVN and NNR. You see someone take a loan from here and run his credit down. And then we locate to... What are the BVN and NIN? So I think we've all come to the conclusion that debts can be both good and bad. If you use it the right way, it will be good. If you use it the wrong way, it's bad debts. After the break, Elijah Felix will be talking about the girl child. Our time is now, our rights, our future.


Am I the only one who didn't know I had to wash my pillow? Apparently if you've been using the same pillow for two years, a third of its weight is now dead skin, dust mites, and their poop. And breathing that in night after night could affect your sleep quality and make your allergies worse. All pillows are different, so make sure you check washing instructions before just checking it into the machine. And yes, you should also be washing your mattress, but we've already made a video about that.


You don't have the final word in those things yet, but I would say it's definitely trending in the right direction based on what we know so far. YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on is engraving here with another video and in this video, John Harbaugh provided updates, vague updates, but updates nonetheless. When it came to rookie first round pick, Kyle Hamilton and also left tackle, Ronnie Stanley, who both have just had been having good seasons, really good seasons, and they both got started late in their own way. Kyle Hamilton, the game, like it was a bit fast for him. He looked a little out of place early on, but as the season has gone along, he's looked better and better and more and more comfortable. Ronnie Stanley, of course, he was coming back from injury. He hadn't really played in the past two years, but he was coming back and he looked great. And his impact was felt immediately. They started him on that pitch count early on, but after they got rid of that, he'd been a full goal and he has just been amazing straight up. So these are two significant injuries to the team, but Ronnie Stanley, when it came to Ronnie Stanley, well, let's just read what Harbaugh said on both of them. He said, Ronnie Stanley still has an MRI to get, so we'll find out the final on that. But it was trending really well last night and yesterday morning. So two nights to go on Sunday and then on Monday morning. So Ronnie Stanley got to still get checked out. One thing that concerns me is that Ronnie Stanley was in a walking boot after the game. Now, I know the walking boot could mean a lot of things, but I remember last time that I saw a Ravens player in a walking boot after the game. So many Ravens fans told me, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's just extra precaution. No, no, no. He'll be fine. He'll be pretty straight.  And what happened? So I hope that that does not happen with Ronnie Stanley, but it is definitely cause for concern, especially when it's an ankle injury. And I'm pretty sure, let me know if I'm wrong, though, but I'm pretty sure it's the same ankle that he had issues with before. But we'll see what happened to Ronnie Stanley. The boot just scares me though, straight up, the walking boot, that's a scary sight to see, especially for your starting left tackle who has just dealt with injury after injury after injury after injury after injury after injury. And it's been unfortunate for him, man, because Ronnie Stanley, great player, phenomenal player, but just the injuries just, it's been a big part of his career. So hopefully it doesn't end up being anything serious or anything too serious. So we just got to wait and see. We got to wait and see. With Kyle Hamilton, the hardball said that the X-rays look good. So it's trending in the right way and his knee is stable. Like that, but that far, like that's good to hear that he had X-rays, his knee is stable. But stable doesn't, I don't know, that don't really give me a boost of confidence. Like you hear, and I know this is an extreme, but when you hear people like in the hospital, they say, oh, they're in stable condition. It's like, all right, they straight, they getting by. They ain't at their best. They still in a lot of pain, but I know that's an extreme comparison, but still stable just doesn't scream, all right. He'll be ready for next week to me. So we'll see what happens with Kyle Hamilton. What's nice to see? He was right there standing up in the post, the post game locker room celebration and all the speech and all that. But I don't know, man, we just got to wait and see. Like I said, both of these two guys, they were having a big impact on these Baltimore Ravens.  He just helped so much, like literally right away.  They still got their hiccups here and there, but overall they have been doing a much better job than they had without Ronnie Stanley.  So that was the expectation. And he surprised me this year because I told y'all first going into the season, I felt like anything we were getting out of Ronnie Stanley was going to be a bonus. Cause I felt like the Ravens couldn't and shouldn't depend on Ronnie Stanley because of the injury history and because what he had just been through. So I was glad to see him back, but I also talked about how I couldn't expect him to get back to what he was before right away. I felt like it was going to take some time, possibly even throughout this whole season, but he got back to it and he been playing really good. So that's a huge blow. So we'll see what happens with him. And as far as Kyle Hamilton, he was a luxury pick. I feel like it's crazy because these are two luxury players because one, again, Ronnie Stanley, I felt like with him, anything that the Ravens got out of him would be a luxury, but with Kyle Hamilton, I feel like he was actually a luxury pick, but in the long run, we will see, I do expect the Ravens to see the improvement of quality at the safety position with him being there, with him and Marcus Williams when they finally get going. That should be a nice thing to see because he brings a lot of athleticism. So I guess in the long run, it won't be a luxury pick. I think this year was more of a luxury pick though, but they've been using them more and more. And the biggest thing that I've been the most impressed with with Kyle Hamilton over this stretch has been the open field tackling. It's been an open field tackling. I know in pre-season, there were a lot of people that were extra concerned about Kyle Hamilton and his tackling and how he missed them tackles out.  And I'm like, hold up there, wait a minute, buddy. You calling somebody a bust in a pre-season? Like really? I just, I can never get with that, man. Calling somebody a bust in a pre-season. That's just crazy. But anyway, he had some hiccups in the pre-season whatnot. And then in the first couple of weeks too, but after that, things have just, and it's all about repetition, man. It's all about repetition, doing the same thing over and over until you really get it, until you get more and more comfortable with it. And Kyle Hamilton has shown that he's more and more comfortable with the game, with the speed of the NFL. And he's looked more smoothly, he's looked better. Again, the tackling has been just a beautiful thing to see. And Kyle Hamilton is not just a safety, he's also a pass rusher. He's a pass rusher. So we got even more depth at the pass rush position too. But now he's been looking better and better as the season has gone on. Now, with Harbaugh, with him saying the vague stuff that he said, said Kyle Hamilton, Stable, Ronnie, his stuff look good right now. They gotta still get the final word and whatnot. And they really gotta get the final word on both of them. We'll see. We should know very, like, extremely soon. And for me, like, regardless of what Harbaugh says, I know an official injury is gonna come out, but we'll really know the severity come, I mean, by Wednesday, at the latest, by Wednesday, because they start practicing again on Wednesday. So if they're out there on Wednesday, or they're not out there on Wednesday, then that'll be a clear indication of the severity. And obviously, they could miss Wednesday and come back Thursday. They could miss Wednesday and Thursday, come back Friday, but this week, when it comes to practicing, because I know Harbaugh can give all the injury updates that we wanna hear and da-da-da, oh, it looks good. It sounds good. Everything's fine. But then if you don't see them on the practice field, it's like, oh, is it really that fine? So that's just something to look out for. But we'll see. We'll see how it goes. Anyway, team keeping clean. I appreciate y'all. I love y'all. Hopefully Kyle Hammy and Ronnie Stanley, they'll be back very, very, very soon. I'm honestly not expecting them to play against the Jaguars, just based off of what Harbaugh said alone. And then you add the walking boot from Ronnie Stanley to that. I just, I don't expect them to play against the Jaguars, but that's just me. I'm no doctor. What do I know? We'll see the official word though, but maybe by today, maybe by tomorrow. But definitely this week, we'll definitely know. Have a more definitive answer, a definitive timetable on how long they will be out for. But I appreciate y'all watching. Thank y'all for spending a couple of minutes with us every single day. We out.


Star Wars is without a doubt one of the best sci-fi franchises out there, with splasters, aliens, and hyperdrives. But could our own galaxy be just like the Star Wars galaxy far, far away? When analyzing the science of Star Wars, there are many places to start, but one of the most interesting aspects of Star Wars is the vast diversity of life forms which fills the screen, raising the question, could there be alien life like that in our own galaxy? Well, to begin with, our Milky Way contains about 100 billion planets. Now, that's an awful lot of planets, but don't get too optimistic yet, because in order to be habitable, a planet needs to meet certain conditions. First of all, a planet needs a healthy temperature range which is suitable for life to exist and allows for liquid water to exist, which falls between negative 15 degrees celsius to 115 degrees celsius. Second, a planet needs to have a clean source of water available on a regular basis. Third, a planet needs to have the right atmosphere to provide a shield from harmful radiation, trap in the appropriate amount of heat, and provide necessary elements for life, such as carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur. So based on the conditions, we need a planet orbiting a star in the Goldilocks zone, which means it is not too close or too far from the star, allowing for the right temperatures and liquid water to exist. When we apply this constraint, we get about 8.8 billion planets in our galaxy which meet this condition. However, keep in mind that while these 8.8 billion planets might be hospitable like the earth, they might have different environments than the earth. For example, some planets may not have the luxury of having a peaceful environment like earth, but rather an environment where danger lurks every second. So as a result, life on the planet didn't involve quite the same way on earth. Also there's no telling how humans and other life forms would interact with each other. So we don't know if our relationship with the aliens will be anything like Han and Chewie's relationship. Aside from alien life, one can't help but notice all the advanced technology in Star Wars, especially with all the advanced space technologies such as hyperdrives. One often wonders, could we come up with something like that? Well, the fastest things humans have ever made was Helios 2, a probe which traveled at speeds exceeding 150,000 miles per hour or 241,000 kilometers per hour, which is pretty slow compared to the speed of light, which can travel at about 186,000 miles in one second or 300,000 kilometers. Alright then, so all we gotta do is find a way to travel roughly 5,000 times faster than what Helios 2 can. This isn't an easy thing to do because of Einstein's theory of relativity, which forbids any sort of matter from going faster than the speed of light through space. However, space itself can move faster than the speed of light. I know the thought of space being an entity which can move sounds a little bit confusing at first, but we'll talk about that in another video. Anyways, as I was saying, since space can move faster than light, could we utilize that property as a means of transportation? Well, there may be one way we could. Meet exotic matter, or matter with an energy density level of less than zero. In order to understand how something can have less than zero energy, we have to dive a little bit into quantum mechanics. You see, the empty space around you isn't empty, but rather teeming with subatomic particles constantly popping in and out of existence called virtual particles. As a result, the energy density of space, although which has a net balance of zero, is constantly undergoing fluctuation. However, though, sometimes the fluctuations can become calm, which results in that region of space having less energy than its normal amount, or negative energy. Negative energy has some pretty cool properties, including the ability to warp space. This ability to warp space is what gives us the hope and idea for building a warp drive. I already have a video talking about a warp drive, but just to give you the basic gist, a warp drive is a propulsion system which utilizes negative energy to contract space around a ship to move faster than light. Although this idea seems pretty neat, it does come with a few catches. For starters, negative energy hasn't been found yet. So while the map does check out, we have only verified this in theory. Also, even if we did find negative energy and utilize it, it would be very dangerous to do so. You see, since the spaceship is traveling at really high speeds, it's going to accumulate some cosmic particles in the warped regions of space around the ship on the way to its destination, which isn't a problem while the ship is traveling. But when the ship stops or slows down dramatically, those particles are going to be released in very, very, very energetic outbursts, which can destroy the ship and its crew. Okay, so that was a big let down, but what about the force? We all want telekinesis, but just how plausible is it? Well, in order to answer that question, we have to ask the question, how powerful are our brainwaves? Well, there are five different types of brainwaves to begin with. Gamma rays, beta waves, alpha waves, theta waves, and delta waves. So how strong are these waves? Well, judging by the frequencies of the brainwaves, I can say they are pretty weak. In fact, they are so weak that even detecting them alone is pretty difficult. So if it's hard enough just to detect brainwaves because they are so weak, what hope do you have that they can move objects? So could our own galaxy be like the one far, far away?  If we want to catch up with the Star Wars universe, we need to make some major technological advancements, and there's no predicting how long that will take. I hope you enjoyed this bonus video and I really look forward to 2017. So far it's been one year since I started YouTube and things are looking great. Anyways, thanks for watching and stay tuned.
