So some people have reached out to me asking how to choose a school for traditional Chinese medicine. Now, it's a new profession in the United States and in the West. There are also options in Europe and in Asia, and it's also as expensive as a conventional medical education. So it brings up a lot of questions and in this video, I thought I'd share my own experience and what I would recommend. Hey, it's Dr. Alex Hine, Chinese medicine doctor, author of the health book, Master of the Day, and I've included two very important links for you. The first link below this video is for a free download I've put together. It's for daily longevity practices that can help you live longer. The first link below the video is a link to go ahead and download that. You'll also be given info there on if you'd like to become a patient of mine locally or via telemedicine. So I thought I would share a little bit about my own story first. This is going to be a bit of a longer video, but I think giving the context of my experience will be helpful. So I booked a one-way ticket to China when I was 24 years old. I had planned to stay there and never come back. I actually did not go for Chinese medicine originally. I went to study martial arts and thinking I'd become a monk and come back in about 10 years. So ultimately I ended up studying martial arts. I learned to speak and read Chinese and write it and it wasn't that I decided to study Chinese medicine until much much later. Now one of my close buddies there in China ended up staying in China and enrolled at the Chinese Medicine School there in Beijing and that's one of the most renowned Chinese medicine schools in China. But the reason it's useful for the story is because he gave me a lot of great advice on actually not going to school in China for Chinese medicine. So come back to the US some years go by and I had now been 20 I was 29 and I had been treated by a Chinese medicine practitioner for digestive problems. And that is what kind of it didn't prompt me to look at Chinese medicine. In retrospect it was always obvious that this was like my dharma, my passion. It was just sometimes things hit you at exactly the right moment in time and then everything is illuminated and it's clear that this is the path you should be doing. So for me around 29 I realized that this is my thing. It's time to go like let's let's do this next year. So at that time I was trying to figure out which school is to go to. Now for me personally my buddy living in China said that he'd been reading about this guy named Heiner Fruhoff who had a website classicalchinesemedicine.org. And I told my buddy I was thinking of going back to China because you know this it would be free for me as a foreigner and I could come back fluent in Chinese etc. And he told me you know if I were you I would go to this guy Heiner's school which is in Portland. He's one who's not into this modern TCM BS as my friend called it. Who's really trying to discover the roots of traditional Chinese medicine and he calls it classical Chinese medicine. So my buddy said hey if I were you I would learn from this guy try to go to his school. So I ended up looking at almost all the schools in California and then National University of Natural Medicine in Portland and OCOM Oregon College of Oriental Medicine also in Oregon. And for me the main reason I did not decide to go to the California schools was just because they seemed a little bit too small. And as someone who's moving from Connecticut to the West Coast I wanted to make sure that I had some sense of community and that the practitioners were not primarily older and married and leaving campus leaving the area. And so a lot of the California schools were quite small. I didn't want to have to start over with no friends and no way to meet people. And that was a big decision for me besides the one other factor which is that I emailed this guy Heiner Fruhoff that my buddy said I should research you know research this guy's school. And I said hey I'm in town in Portland. I'm seeing the school and is there any chance I could pick your brain and buy you a cup of coffee. And he said you know I'm not in Portland this weekend but if you like you can come out to my house and we can drink some tea. And he literally hosted me at his house and for two hours endured my questions on Chinese medicine. And for me that completely sold it. I was like if this dude I can even have an hour a month of his time in a class then that would be worth it to me. Because the general TCM stuff you can learn in a textbook technically I mean you don't learn to be a doctor by studying medical books you do it by practicing but generally the standardized curriculum is not that unique and not that different. But I knew it was the world class mentorship that for me would be the thing that makes the difference in my clinical skill. So for me ultimately not wanting to go to the smaller schools in California wanting to go to NUNM because it had a classical program which no other school I think in the world has. That personal connection the fact that NUNM is the oldest naturopathic medical school so there's a quite a big university there and I think 500 students you're always bumping into people you feel like you're in school again it has an actual small campus like it had a really amazing school feel. So for me it was a really really obvious decision to go there and ultimately I'm super happy with that decision. But backing up to you there are quite a number of other factors that I would take into account that I think are incredibly important. The first thing is what do you really want to learn. You know for me I had no I didn't know too much about Chinese medicine I just knew that herbs had worked for me so I was probably going to study herbs but some schools are known for being more acupuncture oriented some are more herbal formulas oriented. Some schools are more just kind of bare bones like there are schools you can go to just for three years and you learn acupuncture and they're much much cheaper and there are schools that are like the de facto Harvard all-in-one package education and they're a lot more expensive. So that to me is worth thinking about quite a lot because in terms of the general standardized education you're going to generally get the same education everywhere you go because you need that to pass the national board exams but each school also has some slight subtle differences and those are worth looking into as well. So I would say a big question is what does the school have that no other school has and cost savings is a real thing. Is this school one half the price of other schools that is worth knowing and that's worth being a factor you take into account. The next thing is very very important which is what can you afford financially. Now a dark side of alternative medicine education and I still think one of the reasons why enrollment has never been as high as it should be is because you often can pay the price of a conventional medical school two or three hundred thousand dollars with your living expenses in debt but you don't come out making six figures like a physician right. If you go into private practice you start making zero dollars if you do a residency you're probably making two three thousand dollars a month and on and on it goes and if it's private practice most people can't hack it because you have to spend as much time studying and learning business skills as you do your skill in medicine. That's a big burden for most people and I do not think most people will make that happen. Now if you know you're driven then great you'll make anything happen and none of this applies but here are three or four questions that I think are super important that you should think about because the big thing is this is going to be one of the biggest financial investments of your life like getting a house and you should not take it lightly at all because many practitioners are in debt for the rest of their life so be smart. So the first few things one option is maybe you go to a three-year program that's much cheaper and then you can study the things you really like or find a mentor on the outside. The second option would be to do a five or more year program and also work half time 20 hours a week. The third would be is there an option for you to live at home and save that potential hundred thousand dollars that you would be spending on living expenses and eating and driving etc. That's a huge cost savings that you're going to have to spend if you move somewhere to a new state and then you're paying rent and food etc. Those are really important considerations that should not go understated or lightly. If you have a mentor maybe the best decision is the cheapest program and then study the stuff you really want and study with a mentor. Don't get caught up in necessarily going to the best program but then you're in three hundred thousand dollars of debt that you can never pay back. That may be a really bad decision because you can always learn a lot of things later. Now two other final things that are quick. Number one is is there a special reason to go to that program. Now for me I chose the National University of Natural Medicine because just for what I wanted it seemed like the Harvard of classical Chinese medicine. It was a school with a strong mission to teach the classical Chinese medicine not the standardized modern TCM education. All of the mentors and doctors there shared that focus and they had individual lineages where for me that was amazing because you learn how many different practitioners practice. For others who just just give me the way to do acupuncture one way that works that may be stressful. For me it was amazing because I could see and try to understand all these different lineages and for me one of the most valuable things was the traditional mentorship tutorial series where for one doctor you get to study with them in their lineage every week for a year. Now for me that was basically worth the price of admission alone. I mean being out of school now to find those mentorship opportunities they're often around $10,000 in the real world and I did three you all in school. So that was basically $30,000 worth of education to me that I would not have even been sure of how to find outside of school because none of those mentors I learned from teach out of school. So that's you know that to me was the one in a million opportunity that I cannot get back and was worth everything to me. So if there's a specific reason to go to that school then that's also worth considering. Now final piece of advice which is the most important piece of advice. Now this doctor at our school gave students a very very wise piece of advice when he said five years out of school if it matters where you went to school then you're probably doing something wrong and what he meant was if five years out of school you have not dedicated at the time to self-improvement and skill improvement and mastery and growth and doing what it takes to become great in your field and great at your work then you're probably not doing something wrong like if you peaked right out of school that's a big problem because ultimately most things are available out there to learn now. If you want to find the mentors you can seek them out you can pay them for their time you can see them as patients you can enroll in some of their continuing education programs there's often a way to get the same info either way. So at the end of the day think picture it doesn't matter a whole lot if your goal is becoming creative what you do and you're willing to learn from whoever and you're willing most of all to become a master and become the best. So that is my two cents my impassioned rant for the day. Now again if you guys would like below this video I've included this free handout which is four daily rituals that can help you add years to your life with traditional Chinese medicine and again if you'd like to become a patient of mine locally or via telemedicine you'll find a link below as well in that email series you'll be notified how to reach out all right guys before you go two more related videos that'll help you right here.


My name is Dr. Rocco Basora. I'm a shoulder and elbow and sports medicine specialist. And I belong to orthopedic specialist in New Jersey with Hackensack Meridian Healthcare. Well, I initially studied mechanical engineering. I got my Bachelors and my Masters in mechanical and biomechanical engineering. I was very interested in how they developed implants. And I thought to myself, you know, rather than designing these implants, I prefer actually being the one in planting them and helping patients directly. Patients who come in oftentimes are nervous. I sit down and I draw things out for them. You know, I kind of explain to them exactly what they have, why it is we are going to do what we're supposed to be doing for that particular patient. It makes a world of a difference when they truly understand what they have and what needs to be done. And they're less fearful in the end. My first and foremost way of treating patients is to do it in a conservative fashion, you know, which means, you know, maybe home exercise programs, physical therapy. If patients are having lots of pain, we can try cortisone injections. You know, I can't tell you how many times a patient will come to me and say, I thought you were going to perform surgery on me. And I try to explain to them that 80% of patients who come in really don't need surgery. Patients come in, they're in need. And I feel that I'm very fortunate that I'm in a position where there's something that I can do to help them out and hopefully change their lives.


Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. Shacho 2020, I'm at the Charles Daly booth and this firearm really caught my eye. It's called a Charles Daly Hacho Triple Threat. And the Triple Threat means that it's a triple barrel shotgun chambered in 12 gauge. And I think this is super cool though. This was released last year. It's got an MSRP right around $1300. But what makes this unique is the triple barrels load up right there. And then it shoots from the left or the right barrel, the left barrel at top, left, right, top. And this is what you're looking at with this firearm. It's got a pistol grip back here. It is made of wood. It's a heavy duty firearm. It does have a safety switch right there. And a pick rail here. These are 27 inch smooth bore barrels with a beaded front sight. And I am blown away by this. I can't believe I missed this last year. But my goal here is to try to get this in my hands, take it to the range and show you guys what it's capable of. Once again, I just want to show you. Load up. And you can see it does have an ejector there. So you don't have to pull out the shells. Close up there, there's the ejector. So as soon as you release the barrels from the grip, it will eject the shells. It'll also reset the trigger for those three trigger pulls. So there it is. Charles Daly Hotchoke Triple Threat. I think it's very cool. I think you guys are gonna like this and I'm gonna try to get one at the range. If you like videos like this, please subscribe and share. I always appreciate thumbs up button. Thanks for watching, you guys be safe.


This is the introductory lecture of an online graduate course on Lee groups and To get one thing out of the way it's pronounced Lee groups not lie groups because it's named after the Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lee and they spell things a bit differently over there So what is a Lee group? Well a Lee group as the name suggests is a group and It's also a manifold So saying it's a manifold means it looks locally like N dimensional space Over the reels for some integer n where this number n is called the dimension of the Lee group So a typical example Might be the group gln over the reels So you recall from linear algebra that gln means n by n matrices with determinant none zero and If a matrix has none zero determinant as it has an inverse and the product of two matrices with none zero determinant has none zero Determinant so this certainly forms a group and it's also a manifold because it's an open subset of n by n matrices over the reels and this is Isomorphic to R to the n squared So gln of R looks locally like R to the n squared and you can check that the group operation is continuous and smooth and so on So what I'm going to do in this introductory lectures go through some of the Simpler examples of Lee groups, so let's start with dimension zero Well, Lee groups of dimension zero are Essentially the same as discrete groups This means either groups where you've put the discrete topology on them or groups where you just completely ignore the topology completely And we would like to classify Lee groups in order to understand them and we're already completely stuck in the zero dimensional case because the classification of Discrete groups is completely hopeless Even for finite discrete groups, we can't really classify them in any meaningful way I mean we can classify the simple ones, but how the simple ones are joined together seems to be very complicated However We can sort of reduce any Lee group to a discrete group and a connected group So if we take a Lee group G then it's got a Connected component containing the identity and This is also a Lee group and it's a normal subgroup. So we can form the quotient group G modulo G zero and This group here is now Discrete or zero dimensional so in some sense we can split any Lee group into a discrete part and a Connected part and it turns out that we can more or less classify the connected Lee groups Or up to some fudging about nil potent groups that I'll mention later So a typical example of this let's take G to be the the group of none zero reels Then it has a connected component consisting of the positive reels under multiplication And if you take the quotient of the none zero reels by positive reels You get a little group with two elements because a real can either be positive or negative So this is sort of what a how a general Lee group decomposes It's got a connected normal subgroup and the quotient is discrete So The theory of Lee groups really concentrates largely on connected Lee groups. In fact some authors even Say at the condition of being connected into definition, but that's sometimes a bit inconvenient. It's Often useful to allow non-connected Lee groups So now let's move on to the dimension one case and Here there are several obvious examples. First of all, we've got the real numbers under addition Obviously a one-dimensional the group. Secondly, we've got the non zero real numbers under multiplication and There's another example. We can have we can have the circle group s1 which is contained in the Non-zero complex number. So this is the this is the complex numbers z of absolute value equal to 1 So it's called the circle group because it looks very much like a circle and These are all very closely related for example There's a homomorphism of groups from r to the non-zero reels given by the exponential map And there's a homomorphism of groups from the reels to the circle group given by I think x to e to the 2 pi i x just put the 2 pi in there out of habit and These are homomorphisms of groups and this map here makes the reels identifies the reels with the connected component of of the non-zero reels so The connected components of these two groups are the same here the reels obviously aren't isomorphic to the Component of s1, which is just s1. However, this is an example of something called a local isomorphism so What this means is that that is that if you take the reels and Addition and you take the circle group under multiplication you can take a little neighborhood of the identity in both of them for instance there and there and The this map is is an isomorphism from this little chunk to this little chunk in that it preserves multiplication wherever you define so if you sort of Live at the identity element of the group and you're kind of short-sighted. So you can't see very far You would think these two groups are really the same And In fact any connected one-dimensional lead group is Isomorphic to either the reels under addition or to the circle group s1 another way of saying this is that any One-dimensional lead group is got by taking the one-dimensional vector space and quotient out by some discrete Subgroup So the discrete subgroup is zero in this case and it's z in this case Now let's have a look at some two-dimensional examples So one obvious way of getting two-dimensional examples is to take the product of two one-dimensional examples So we get r1 times r1, which is just a two-dimensional vector space and we get r1 times s1 and we get s1 times s1 which is The famous torus group so Looks something like a torus and this looks something like an infinitely long cylinder and this of course just looks like a plane And all of these are still abelian As we're all the one-dimensional groups and in fact you can see that these are all of the form A two-dimensional vector space quotient out by a discrete group The discrete group can be zero or z or z squared in these three cases And in fact more generally any abelian lead group any abelian connected lead group Can be written like this. It's of the form it's isomorphic to r to the m times s1 to the n Which is isomorphic to r to the m plus n modulo some discrete subgroup So we know what all the connected abelian lead groups are as usual disconnected ones Classifying even abelian Groups is hopelessly complicated in general. Although of course you can do the finite ones so These are abelian groups and you can ask are there any other Any none abelian lead groups well in dimension one that aren't but in dimension two We come across the first none abelian Connected example and this is the ax plus b group So, um, the the name suggests this is the group of all linear transformations from r to r Well Which take x to ax plus b So it's the group of affine transformations of the reels And you can represent this group as matrices because if you've got until two by two matrices the form ab 01 and multiply it by x one then you maybe get ax plus b one so So This group can be thought of as as a group of all these matrices here where of course we take a not equal to zero And it's got a connected component which are the matrices with a positive Um, and this group is not abelian as you can very easily check but it is An example of a solvable Lea group um and The meaning of solvable for lea groups is much the same as the definition of solvable for discreet groups what it means is we've got um A series of subgroups g zero contained g one contained in g two and so on up to g n which is equal to g such that each quotient G n so g i over g i minus one is abelian Of course, we implicitly assume that each g i is contained in in the is a normal subgroup of the next group So in the case of two by two matrices, what are g zero and g one and g two and so on? Well, we can draw a picture of them like this. So we have ab 01 G zero is just the identity g one is just um the group of all um Possible elements b with a being equal to one and you can think of g two as being the whole group So um In this particular case this this is changed just as length one um now, let's move on to groups of dimension three And here we come across what is possibly the the single most useful lea group of them all which is the group sl to r So this is the special linear group And it consists of all matrices abc d With ad minus bc is equal to one. So this is of course just a determinant And since the determinant is multiplicative these matrices here form a group and um two by two matrices are four dimensional and we've cut the dimension down one by putting on this equation So so this is dimension three um and There's another closely related group, which is the group p sl two of r And this is the group sl two of r Modulo the group um plus or minus one by which we mean and the matrices plus one plus one And minus one minus one So You can see this forms a little normal subgroup of order two. So we get a quotient here p stands for projective Because it acts on projective space if you care about that sort of thing um, so um as a typical example of an application of this group this group is the group of automorphisms of the upper half plane in complex analysis so if the upper half plane H Has its elements denoted by tau then the action is given by abc d Acting on tau is equal to a tau plus b over c tau plus d and you notice that if um That the the matrix minus one acts trivially So so although sl two acts on the upper half plane to get the group of automorphisms We should really quotient out by it and get the group p sl two of r um and Another three-dimensional group is the sphere s three um, and this can be written as the group of unit quaternions So you remember the quaternions consist of Hamilton's quaternions are the numbers of the form a plus b i plus c j plus d k with the multiplication given by i j equals k equals minus j i j k equals i equals minus k j and k i equals j equals minus i k and Hamilton showed that this um formed a non commutative division ring and It has a sub the subgroup s three consists of all Quaternions with a squared plus b squared plus c squared plus d squared equals one And it's not very difficult to check that this is closed under multiplication Um incidentally that you can think of if if this quaternion is called z Then this number here is equal to z times z bar where z bar is the quaternion a minus bi minus cj minus dk So it's kind of a sort of analog of complex conjugation for the complex numbers By the way, we had s one being a league group and we had s three being a league group And you may think I forgot to include s two as a league group. Um, in fact s two is not a league group it is no, um It is no group structure on at all at least not one that that is um continuous In fact s zero s one and s three are the only spheres That are league groups And you can think of these as being the numbers of absolute value one inside the reels or the complex numbers or the quaternions So this corresponds. This is very close related to the fact that there are only three finite dimensional division algebras over the reels They that they correspond to the spheres that are league groups Um Um, there's a another um Um three dimensional group Which is the heisenberg group Named after the guy who invented quantum mechanics and the heisenberg group Well, it either consists of the matrices of this form Or it consists of the matrices of this form Quotient out by the normal subgroup of all matrices of this form where n is in the integers And I never quite worked out whether the heisenberg group is this or or this I think it depends on which author you read um, so this is an example of taking a A league group and quotient out by a discrete subgroup of the center and um This group turns up in quantum mechanics quite a lot Um, so suppose you look at all the transformations of functions on the reels so you can transform a function by shifting it By a constant or you can transform a function by multiplying it by a constant So by multiplying it by a periodic function or you can Multiply it by a constant of absolute value one And if you take the group generated by these transformations, it's three-dimensional and is Essentially the same as this bit of the heisenberg group You see we have to quotient out by the discrete subgroup because if you think of these constants as e to the i b then Then whenever well, let's put two pi i b then whenever b is an integer this becomes one um so um This is a common way of constructing Lee groups and other lee groups who can quotient out by a discrete subgroup of the center um Now you notice this group here is isomorphic to r3 so it's it's um Simply connected and if we're quotient out by a discrete subgroup of the center, it turns out this quotient here Is not simply connected, but it is fundamental group Given by the integers, which is the thing you quotient out by Okay, I haven't quite discussed fundamental groups yet, but this is a just a quick introductory survey Um conversely you can sort of reverse this process If you've got a group like this one with a non trivial fundamental group You can take a sort of covering space out of it and get back the the get back a simply connected group um, so um The idea of this is that you can reduce the classification of all the groups to the classification of simply connected lee groups because it turns out that any lee group is the quotient of a simply connected lee group by by um A discrete subgroup of the center Um, the heisenberg group is also an example of a nilpotent group so Let's just recall what a nilpotent group is So if you've got a group g Let's call it g0 We can kill off the center. So let's put g1 equals g0 modulo the center Well, um, you might think g1 doesn't have a center, but it but but it actually can have a center Because I mean it wouldn't have been a center in g0, but it might now become a center in g g1 And so you can now repeat this process you put g2 equals g1 and then you kill off the center and you sort of continue like this And if g n is the identity group g0 is called nilpotent The reason for the name nilpotent will will appear later when we talk about lee algebras um, so uh, the heisenberg group is nilpotent because if you look at it the center is consist of um, essentially these matrices but by which I mean a and c are zero and you still keep the ones here But b is allowed to be anything. So so so this is This is the center and then when we kill off that we get an abelian group. So so We then end up with that with the whole group there Upper triangular groups have a very strong tendency to be a nilpotent. So if I take a group consisting of all matrices like this Then the center consists of just the matrices like this Meaning I keep ones down the diagonal and set everything else equal to zero And if you kill off this the center of what's left is given by this subgroup And if you kill off that the center of what's left is given by this subgroup and the remaining center is And the what's left is now abelians. So so it's equal to its whole center. So we get a sort of chain of Centers of quotients increasing like that so um all um upper triangular groups with ones down the diagonal are nilpotent um Conversely lee showed that any connected simply connected lee group Is a closed subgroup of a group like this. So simply connected nilpotent implies that it's a closed subgroup of something like this Well, I mean possibly a bigger matrix, of course So you may think well this almost classifies nilpotent groups. Well, it turns out that it doesn't really because um that there are immensely large numbers of different non isomorphic closed subgroups of the group of upper triangular matrices If you try and classify nilpotent groups, you can do so in small dimensions But the problem very rapidly just becomes completely out of control Um So now let's have a look at Say dimension six So here we get the l'orentz group So the l'orentz group consists of all the rotations of spacetime So um, I mean we we could do the the group of rotations o4 of r Which as you know is that is the group of all rotation all linear transformations of r preserving the um quadratic form x1 squared plus x2 squared Plus x3 squared plus x4 squared Um, when you do special relativity use a group o1 comma 3 r Which means use the quadratic form x0 squared minus x1 squared minus x2 squared minus x3 squared um, there's a Some people like putting the minus sign there sort of in front of all these in fact there seem to be two Physicists seem to be dividing in a two roughly equal subsets who are not on speaking terms with each other Who have different ideas about where you should put the minus signs in this but anyway um, so um, uh, this is um This group has several components. In fact, this group was four components um, the reason is that um It in in in this group you can reverse time or you can reverse Space in other words reflect space in a mirror and you can of course also reverse time and space And physicists get really excited about that because they want to know whether their theories are are um Um invariant under time reversal under space reversal And at one time it was thought to be obvious that all physical theories were were invariant under time reversal and space reversal But much to everyone's surprise the weak interaction in in quantum field theory turns out to be none invariant under space inversion and later it was discovered that um Things aren't even invariant under time reversal or or even under the combination of these two So the four components of the Lorentz group turn up quite a lot in physics If you take the connected component um This turns out to um um Have a double cover called a spin group So this maps onto the connected component of um 0 1 comma 3 are And is an example of the construction I was talking about that this this group here has a A non trivial fundamental group so we can take covers of it and one of these is is is the Is is the spin group and we're going to be constructing spin groups out of clifford algebras later on The spin group turns out to be locally isomorphic to The two by two matrices over the complex numbers In particular, this says this is two-dimensional representations meaning actions on two-dimensional Vector spaces, which this group doesn't have and this is the cause of things like fermions and electrons Um by the way, this isomorphism between these groups is a typical example of an accidental isomorphism And one of the confusing things about lee groups is that is that is that lee groups of small dimension have large numbers of accidental Isomorphism with each other, you know various sorts of groups which don't look as if they're the same turn out to be locally isomorphic to each other Um So, um, let's have a look in dimension eight One very famous example is the group su 3 So u 3 means 3 by 3 unitary matrices And s as usual means determinant 1 so the 3 by 3 unitary matrices of dimension 9 and This group therefore is dimension 8 and this appears an awful lot in particle physics First of all, it's the group that controls the gauge group of quantum chroma dynamics It's also a group involved in the flavor symmetries of um old style Theories the strong interaction. So sometimes known as the eight-fold way named by gal man. I believe So this is a fairly typical example of a simple lee group Which means Almost the same as simple in group theory It's got no normal subgroups except in the theory of lee groups who kind of allow Discrete subgroups of the center. So this actually has a center of order 3 But you ignore that when you when you talk about the group being when groups being simple dimension 10 One well known example is a Poincare group And this is related to the Lorentz group So the Lorentz group is the set of all rotations of spacetime the Poincare group is the set of all Translations and Rotations of spacetime. So what we get is a Semi direct product of the group of all translations of spacetime, which is a normal subgroup And on top of that you have sitting the group of all rotations of spacetime fixing a point So what we have here is this is more or less a product of simple groups In fact, it is actually a simple group and what we have here is a solvable group Well, it's actually an abelian group not just a solvable group But what this is supposed to illustrate is Almost any lee group is more or less a semi direct product of a solvable group By a product of simple groups and about the simplest non-trivial example of this That occurs in practice Maybe the Poincare group which which splits as a semi direct product of translations and a product of simple groups And this almost gives us a classification of lee groups because lee showed that any solvable group is a subgroup of opera triangular matrices For some n the closed subgroup of this group here and In the group of opera triangular matrices, you see it's got a subgroup That's a nilpotent group where I mean if you put ones on the diagonal and the quotient is abelian So solvable groups aren't too far from nilpotent groups. They're just a nilpotent group with an abelian group sitting on top of that If you do finite group theory, solvable groups are vastly more complicated than that This is This is only for connected lee groups So this sort of reduces the classification of all lee groups to nilpotent groups and to simple groups So I'll finish off by just saying a little bit about simple groups It turns out we can classify all the simple lee groups at least the ones that are Um Connected and not zero dimensional and so on so It's actually a little bit easier to do the ones that are defined over the complex numbers So complex lee groups are defined very much like real lee groups except that they have to be complex manifolds not real manifolds And there are some obvious ones. First of all, there's s l n of c For n greater than or equal to one and there are the orthogonal groups o n of c For n greater than or equal to three and there's the symplectic group O sp2 n of c for n greater than or equal to one These are the so-called classical groups At least over the complex numbers over the reals the classical groups are rather more numerous Um and in addition we find killing found Five more he found five more which are called g2 f4 e6 e7 and e8 by Someone who wasn't very imaginative about naming things So the dimensions of these groups are 14 52 78 133 and 248 And killing really ought to be a lot better known. Um, he was a kind of really modest shy guy And invented a lot of things that were later named after other people So later on in this course, we will be talking about the vile group and the coxswain number and the carton And the carton form and things like that and these were all actually first invented by killing And then people kind of forgot he invented them And he discovered these five exceptional lead groups and a lot of the credit is given to carton who Who came along a lot later than killing and just filled in a few holes in killing's work um Anyway, so killing more or less showed that the complex simple lead groups were given by this list here Um So what we'd be doing later on in the course is showing how to construct all these Lea groups. Um, I've just finished by drawing pictures of them Um, there's a famous way of drawing pictures of all these lea groups. So we draw a picture of sl2 by drawing a point So each point means sl2 And then all of these other groups found by killing are obtained by sticking together copies of the group sl2 Of the complex numbers. This is one of the reasons I said sl2 was so important all other groups are kind of Built out of copies of it in some sense So the groups sln Have a so-called dink and diagram That looks like that And what this means is each dot is a copy of sl2 And if the dots are not joined it means the copies of sl2 Commute with each other and if the dots are joined by line It means the copies of sl2 sit inside each other in the same way that copies of two Two copies of sl2 sit inside sl3 So This is a sort of picture of the group sln The orthogonal groups o and look like this Except for some of them which look a bit different and look like this I'll sort of explain this later And the symplectic groups look like this And f g2 Looks like this f4 looks like this And e6 e7 e8 Look like this This and this So one of the major goals of this course will be to explain what all these dink and diagram mean diagrams mean and show How to construct the simple lead groups by starting with these dink and diagrams Okay, so One of the problems with lead groups is they're rather complicated as topological manifolds I mean, they have a very complicated apology And you can simplify them greatly by instead looking at the tangent space And this is what we will be discussing next lecture where we find the tangent space of a lead group at the origin Is something called a lead algebra


from the stairway to kind of light the way so that you can see where we're going actually on that and stuff. Issues of decon. We'll be there as soon as it goes down. It's going to be open on the other end. Good to you.


Item number, SCP-493. Object Class, Safe. Special Containment Procedures. Instances of SCP-493 are to be kept in separate standard personnel-grade rooms with basic furnishings for a human like SCP. Individual SCP-493 may request additional furnishings, provided the request is not violate restrictions specific to that individual. Additions must be approved on a case-by-case basis by Level 4 personnel. SCP-493-2 and SCP-493-3 have been allowed to continue their work as Level 2 personnel. However, they are not to be assigned to high-risk areas, in order to prevent premature duplication. Each instance of SCP-493 is to be marked with a tattoo of their designation number on their upper right arm to prevent any confusion between the otherwise similar appearance of each individual. Description SCP-493 is a group of genetically identical males of apparent ages between 20 and 90 years old. The younger SCP-493s have brown hair and brown eyes, are about 1.7 meters tall, and weigh between 70 and 90 kilograms, depending on diet and activity.  Each SCP-493 currently in containment is fluent in English, and multiple dialects of German, speaking with a moderate Swiss-German accent. SCP-493-7 and SCP-493-8 are also fluent in Spanish. 7 instances of SCP-493 are currently in containment. From estimated duplication rates, it is believed that a minimum of 12 instances of SCP-493 have not yet been contained. When an instance of SCP-493 dies, nothing abnormal presents itself immediately. The corpse will decompose naturally. However, approximately three hours after death, two younger SCP-493s, appearing to be in their early 20s, will materialize in close proximity to the location of death. These two new instances of SCP-493 are identical to each other, and maintain the memories of all of their previous lives. Other than the memories of their previous life, individual instances of SCP-493 do not appear to share any sort of mental link or bond with each other after reconstitution. If the two young SCP-493s move away from each other geographically, they may lead completely separate lives. Addendum SCP-493-1 came to the SCP Foundation in 1963, as a Level 1 researcher four years before it was known that he had unique attributes. On April 1967, shortly after being given Level 2 access, SCP-493-1 was killed during a containment breach of SCP-493-1 at Site-19. His remains were dealt with according to standard procedure for all Level 2 personnel. Three hours and two minutes after SCP-493-1's death, several Class D personnel involved in the cleanup reported a thin mist appeared in two vaguely humanoid shapes in the corridor outside SCP-493-1's containment chamber. Approximately half a minute later, a bright flash followed. As the flash subsided, two naked human males, SCP-493-2 and SCP-493-3 were standing in place of the mist. The pair were immediately placed in containment, and then questioned. SCP-493-2 and SCP-493-3 have divulged their origins, the accuracy of which has largely been confirmed by historical and dental records. The original SCP-493 was born in 1600 in Zurich, Switzerland, becoming a successful Protestant pastor before his first death and subsequent reconstitution in 17... SCP-493-2 and SCP-493-3 claim the recent events involving SCP-493-1 resulted in their fifth reconstitution to date. Details of SCP-493-1's family tree of reconstitution can be found in Document 493-H. Containment of free SCP-493 is a work in progress. It is the Foundation's hope that the majority of SCP-493 can be contained before duplication of SCP-493 runs exponentially out of control. However, just rounding these subjects up is quite the task. It's not like we can just put a bulletin up when the people we need to find could be any age. Dr. R... It is unknown if SCP-493 will keep dividing with every death, but there is no reason to doubt such an occurrence. Permanent containment and termination options are currently under consideration. Update 493-1. Agent R apprehended SCP-493-4 and SCP-493-5 in Germany on December 1, 1967. Each appears to be approximately 40 years old, the same age as SCP-493-1 before death. Update 493-2. On February 1, 1976, SCP-493-6 is discovered homeless on the streets of New York City, appears to be about 30 years of age. Incident Report 493-A. SCP-493-6 commits suicide. Data expunged. SCP-493-7 and SCP-493-8 are to be kept under close observation in quarters, guarded against future suicide attempts. Update 493-3. Following several heated arguments over the current political and religious status in various major nations, SCP-493-2 and SCP-493-3 have requested to be removed from duty in sectors surrounding and including containment chamber of SCP-493-5. Request denied. Your professionals start acting like it. Update 493-4. SCP-493-2 and SCP-493-3 have repeated requests to be removed from SCP-493-5, stating that Regulation 36 subsection 8A states that they are not permitted to oversee contained family members without sufficient supervision and arguing that this regulation applies to their case. Request granted by Dr. R. SCP-493-2 and SCP-493-3 are denied access to all other SCP-493s. And I am sick and tired of them heaping extra paperwork on me by quoting obscure regulations that I didn't even know about. Dr. R. Update 493-5. SCP-493-4 dies after complications following a fall and a broken hip. Well, that was one of my more unpleasant deaths. SCP-493-9. Shortly after reconstitution. Memo 493-BA. Request by Dr. R. R. R. R. R. R. to show him what an unpleasant death is. Denied. No, I don't care that he'll survive it. We don't need even more of these things running around. Lesson complete.

I'm gonna add DC what he think money is man. We need to hurry up start. They can't talk.   Yeah Come on. Let me get some of that blood man. Mr. Invest. And that's Colorado get you some Colorado. Yeah, that's straight from the dispenser. What you got?   Chamberlake. Do your thing Kimberlake. Yeah. Yeah, I don't need nobody I've been hurtin' some pimping while we've been listening to the show dude Yeah I'm like that crazy n***a that you went to school I stuff this in the jar You know I'm cool like that fly.  I went to another dispenser. What's in you like in some blue shit?  You got some home grown. Anybody got some home grown 45% You got some. I got some but it's over there. Where is it? It's over there That's that one bullet man. One bullet. You got the crack. I don't know if I want to smoke it real quick Yeah, man 65% Nobody want to be that high man.  When you get older the TAC ain't supposed to get older with you Didn't even say I was smoking 75% of the day. You were smoking crack man. That's what that was Just think man. Didn't even say that 35% Smell like garlic. That's the highest of the highest I want to be on the ground. I want to be on the earth. I don't want to feel like my booty is itching Want to be on the ground It'd be so hot like y'all feel that Wait man, jail man. You feel that man?  Why we on the poster man? Hey, this poster hard in the motherfucker.  Kill them all. I need them all for in my house.  I'm just saying he was the weed man I'm not calling him the weed man.  Hey, I'm not calling him the weed man. No I hope it's just a little bit of weed in my guess.  Yeah, I like a rest.  So we all had to go and get the best. Yeah My girl's talking as she undressed.  I said yes. Yeah He's gonna be rude, but I'm the type of dude that's gonna grab a sucker by the boobs.  Don't say it out loud. Just think it in your mind Don't say it out loud and if you do just say you lying.  I smoke weed man. My nigga lose the weed man No, we're not. Hey, but I'm not calling him the weed man. Appreciate that Hey We appreciate that. So, yeah, you know exactly what it is man. Welcome to 2027 We went to the future And recorded this episode and came back and dropped it. Oh, yeah So by the time 2027 happens, we'll have some to watch Y'all see what THC at 65 do what it made nigga. Thank you in the future What you mean? listen Why you talking man? What's in the weed man? I ain't calling you the weed man. I appreciate that But like I was saying, yeah, this episode is from the future Now I need everybody to put their serious face on today and grab your thinking Oh, yeah, it is close by Thanks Because we got a hell of a guest with us in here today DC and I'm glad you in here. Yes, I didn't want you to miss this one You know, I'm all the way by the vision now, right? We need everybody go get all your accounts Turn that down. We're in serious business.  Oh, yeah This you know, man. Yeah, right you making me do weed Look, man, we got we got a spectacular guest in here holding it down with us in the trap today Oh, yeah, and I know I know y'all done already kicked it back and forth and already made a few got them gazillion dollars But this is one of the coaches young brothers out here In the in the investment game man, and it's always honor and the privilege to sit down and talk good shit with a man None other than Aristotle What's happening?  We would like we'd like total, uh concentration when people talk about that On that set again. Yeah, go ahead. No, they heard. Okay, the black-ass show won't go over.   So Aristotle, how did you get started? How did you get started? We get it. We get it. So, um, I got started when I was in the military I was uh, I joined the military when I was 18 years old 2014 um I got started when I was 20 years old. I started investing my money. I started barbering when I was 18 Uh, so I I self taught myself how to barber Uh by just going on youtube word.  Let you just practice over they have that's that's a great question He's an army ain't got nobody to cut their head. That's the point. So, you know how we get straight out of basic, right? So, you know, we already got ball head.  Right? So Also, they want to save time.  So ain't got a paper this year. So if it's a niggin embarrassed and hey I could hear people going naturally want to go to him. So that way they ain't got to leave They can enjoy their time play their video games So that gave me time to really practice on their heads.  They keep it real, all right But I was charging five dollars a cut at that time. That was 2015.   So I got good right, you know what I'm saying?  Yeah, I didn't play you want me to tell you how I was able to do that Because I got in trouble while I was in the military when I was at So because I got in trouble and I couldn't go out. I was forced to stay in my room So you can't go out on the weekends if you get in trouble. Hey, you have the grown man to get in trouble Don't say it.  I didn't you know why I couldn't say it. Okay, but anyway But you know, but you know what's crazy The saving that 2000 right taught me something that I got the discipline and it also taught me how to be on lockdown So I'm on lockdown. I can't go outside no more and And this is a six month training So I only had a month outside and then the rest the rest of the five months Locked down there for the rest of the time. I was there.  All right, we saw the case it is what it is You know I'm saying they try to technically make you Do it's almost like I had a jail make them sit in the jail Even you know I'm saying until they figure it out. So it was like that.  I just can't go off the post So I was in Augusta, Georgia at uh Fort Gordon I was uh it So that shit sucked because I wanted to kind of chill in Augusta a little bit But couldn't I went to the mall twice and that was it So but anyways once I got to my uh military base I said I requested to go to savannah, Georgia because I wanted because I'm from Atlanta but I was uh in kansas when I left I left from kansas city to go to um A basic training cycle line. Then we went to Augusta. Then I got to uh savannah, Georgia and I started barbering picking out where I left off the world So I got there with about three three racks They put me in the barracks room. First thing I'm doing is looking for clientele So how I built my clientele was different The first time I built my clientele because nigga was just at the barracks room. So I'm like damn I'm over to a new town got no clients.   I got the talent everything good so Once I got me a clientele.   I was making 3000 a month cutting hair and uh 2000 a month from the army.  So once I got about 10 racks um I took it to the to the bank and To deposit it And the lady was like, why don't you invest this? Hey, what's up Atlanta? Guess what august 18th? I will be at center stage. Yeah, pull up on me at the end of the day I'll be in center state.     Atlanta, Georgia. Here's how I'm at What's up y'all? It's your girl lexp.  I cannot wait to see all y'all faces, you know, unfortunately We had to reschedule these days. So I'm super excited to come out and see y'all doors open at seven Yes, and the show starts at a and we back bigger than ever Let me tell y'all y'all should be happy because this show this round it's super lit. So orlando august 10th Doors open at seven shows starts at eight orlando improv. We'll see y'all and we all side boogie period Put it on because we coming This episode is sponsored by better help Hey, what's up? It's your man, carlos miller. Have you thought about starting therapy? Well, maybe you should give better help or try you can go to their website right now better help dot com Use promo code 85 south and get 10 off your first month. That's right. I'm telling you it was designed to be online convenient User-friendly all of that. So if you need somebody to talk to you want somebody to talk to you thinking about talking to somebody go to better help It worked on me It's working. I'm working progress How do you think i'm this great? I needed help. I want to get better help Not a helper And i'm better Let therapy be your map with better help visit better help dot com slash 85 south to get 10 off your first month That's better help hlp dot com slash 85 south So Hey, man, what's up? It's your man, carlos miller. You know what time this boy dc on fliers Chico bean We're going to make it man. July 30th making Coliseum that's like the making coliseum Come on. No, we're gonna be making y'all laugh like a motherfucker.  No one on time out Get there early because you know the traffic and making me crazy here when we come down there So get them tickets hit the website and we'll see you and make July 30th three-headed monster. So get your tickets now You know what's happening What's up, man? What's up, Tobias? Thank you. Love. Amen. I appreciate your support. Love. Okay.   What thing is this? This was navy federal.  It was like a little free class.  Maybe I'm gonna invest so I googled it I googled the shit But at first I googled how to make money from your cell phone Because I like damn the army taking 12 hours of my day I got to wake up at 5 a.m. And I'll get home to 5 p.m. So niggas don't say that we work 12 hours a day five days a week Yeah, so so like I was like damn like I ain't gonna never make no money because you know, as soon as I get out of uh As soon as I get out work at five, I start cutting hair all the way to 511 So I only get one hour free time So I would so why everybody else probably play video game. I was hustling Cutting hair. I cut hair every day because I was on lockdown. So I'm treating myself like I'm on lockdown As soon as I get there So, yeah, I just decided to start paying my uh, I decided to start learning investing And uh, the first thing I did was research it and what came up was a few apps I remember it like it was yesterday stash app And uh, this app called uh acorns So I go to do my research on acorns.    You know what I'm saying?  And I put it on aggressive. I put it on the most aggressive one. So I guess Me being intrigued with how acorns made me money was like, I need to learn how to invest in myself Right, so I'm ahead of the game.   Yes, sir Yeah, so I'm making five but I'm spending a four five four point five You know what I'm saying?   Like why should I wait that long?  Let me see what happened if I What if I can get there about 30 years old in nine years? So it said I would have to deposit about 3k a month to be a millionaire In nine years.   Your money got to work for you, right? So I was like, okay. So if I save my way it's gonna take 20 right, but if I invest my way and get about 10 percent a year I can get there in nine 10 years So it started with that So I went with my plan. I took my money once I figured out how they was making money I figured out acorns was investing the money into the regular stock market, right? So I was like, man, okay. That's how they made me my money by literally Investing into a ETF called bo. Oh, which is vanguard ETF And I'll explain what the ETF is the ETF is called exchange traded fund and what it is is a committee who selects Like hundreds of stocks based on whether they're profitable and a good company and then That ticker you can you can use that ticker? So let's just say this ETF has apple google facebook Meta amazon they got they bought all the stocks. So you can invest into their fund So that way you feel diversified instead of you yourself going to buy all these companies You could just buy a company to buy all them companies. I already got that.  So I figured it all out and I was like, okay I'm gonna take my money out of acorns put it in robin hood So it went from stash to acorns to robin hood. So now I'm on step three Then I figured out how to buy shares with the money So I started buying shares and then I bought everything like just just bought it facebook sq But then it was marijuana. It's funny that it's funny because My initial money came from marijuana stocks. I literally came in at the start of the marijuana boom that was in 2017 So I put all my money Into marijuana stocks that month of the flip for 3 000 or 14 000 But I also had apple, but I had other stocks, but I 50 percent of my money was in marijuana So say marijuana explain to the people marijuana stocks marijuana stocks which includes Cgc canopy growth. I invested in the cronos group. I invested in the tillray That made me a lot of money in cgc. And then uh, it was one more canopy stock I gc, but they got closed down So I remember it so vividly So I was excited. I'm sitting here telling folks Like this is how I'm making money, right? So I'm in the army I'm showing my 14 000 dollar account and you gotta think we live in barracks You get on saying like we we don't come from A lot we all making like you live in the barracks you make 900 dollars every two weeks as If you do four years in the army, that's how much now it's now with inflation and all that stuff These guys probably get like 1100 now something like that. But still that's not a lot 2000 a month so Everybody like hell. Yeah, you know, I'm a barber too.  So everybody hit my line because you know, I was a barber So everybody already got my number my number public Hey, bro, show me how you did that show me how you did that show me how you because you know whenever A finesse come out everybody want to know y'all know how that go in the hood So in the army it's the same way If anybody figure out how to make money Cock it on your door if you got anything you get I mean So I'm like that guy.  I'm still in the army.  I could stay focused Do my thing and then you know, I kick it with shawty, but she weren't just anybody She was valedictor in our high school She was actually a smart girl and I was smart.  So I like let me just go ahead and make me a separate page So then I'm just posting just free content on there But I could be honest because this shit, you know Just just keeping the 1000 So at that time I'm making Don't say what you get like an estimate. I got you. Okay. Shit. Yeah numbers scared.  They paying me about 4000 a month because I ended up getting married to the girl I was with Because like we like during that time getting paper and all that we fell in love and shit Yeah, so yeah money make a love man I'm making 4000 a month father army 3000 for cutting hair and about five from uh investing Then I'm selling books at the same time.    Like the ads was cheap. So I'm buying ads. I'm buying services I'm buying books to educate myself. I'm doing everything I can with this 17 every month You get on saying residual and um So I buy another book.    You know what I'm saying? I'm just used to doing my thing right my already 500,000 half a million up up you get on saying Stay down That's when I started my program.  So yeah And then she ended up helping me with my business She ended up helping me. Yeah, she even edited my book for me. She made a website for me Everything like everything that was part of my business she helped do It's just that's one thing I had to tell you I mean too you got to be the mastermind But you got to appoint her for everything. So we like the point car. We see p3 Right Just a man, you know what I'm saying? So that's me. I'm I'm telling her to do every single thing like do this Make this website do this say like that do that do that And a lot of niggas they feel like when they get with a girl They want her to do the work She can't you know what I'm saying?  So that's what I did. I said quit your job Focus on your strength, which is just She was just a college girl.  So this she was easy work for her I'm telling her to do real life class project. She was making this sales spreadsheets for my customers. She was uh And that's what helped scale my business the fact that I'm having her do everything. I even I handed over all the money. Look pay the bills for me Do this do that and I got that from my mom. My mom would uh have my stepdad work And she would make the spreadsheets do all that. So I I took that formula from her I like look I watched my mom. He brought the money home She made a spreadsheet of everything that was spent. So I said track every dollar And then track every customer Pay every bill for me. I said I only got a little bit of time because I'm in the military So I said when I get home, I got to be working on this business You feel me and then that's what allowed me to scale so quickly because I got her working on the business but then in the army a nigga um Basically, this is how I was able to become a millionaire right because all right. Let me ask you this before it goes this So you making this money you're still in the army at what point do you just like man?  I was known for that.  I I ain't even get it was to the point where They didn't even make me get down to do push-ups I'm pulling up and I'm pulling up in the 2019 Camaro in 2019 And I got and people know my pay grade is one of the lowest You're not supposed to be pulling up in a in a $60,000 car And you ain't even making $60,000. No Not only that you're late nigga.  You know what I'm saying?  I know everybody mad at you, but I'm trying to learn You get I'm saying like that's what impressed me because I'm like damn like It's motherfuckers offering me Bribes to get in what I got going on instead of trying to get me in trouble I mean, but he just says regular people. He ain't saying army people But can you in that can you enlighten because you know, we we talk I talk all the time You know, I'm saying we we women love us. Right. We just talk. I talk. Can you enhance on? Because the today's time and the the way the energy is right women ain't The the idea woman that you just described like how your mommy is right your woman is They must want to hear the example of the money.  I'm surreal shit This is what helped me work hard so My wife is a very clean woman I'm very lazy Meaning I don't like to clean up after myself I just want to get money Yeah I'm a groom myself but She like she was just She the type of person to uh, if she got a school if she got some homework She's not gonna stop and she goes as soon as she get home.  Usually, you know, I'm the type of now. I'm gonna play this video game taking that Try my homework that not when I first go home. I'm trying to do everything except that So she just had a very strong drive And the reason why that helped me because I'm like, how can I be lazy if my queen not? so It motivated me But I can only imagine if she lounged around and was lazy as I was it would rub off on me When it made me want to be ambitious But I felt like she was going places Because for one she got a full ride to school. She was bad at retouring her high school I just felt like the world was in her at her Pause and I'm just this military nigga, you know, I'm saying like that time So I'm like hell no, I gotta So that's what made me hustle for real too Seeing how Not lazy she was You get I mean so All my partners had left to hawaii So I really had no partner. So all I had was her as a friend at that time you feel me Deep that's it.  You heard them dc. It's a women at home time.   I haven't fixed my own plate in six years.  But like they make you rich.  She said without the money. She wasn't with you for no money. No, I have no That's the thing. Yeah, we got together. Uh, I got rich Two years after marriage. Yeah. Yeah, she helped me get off My roommates, well, when are we gonna wait till they get rich?  That's it. She's with the right plan Time out time out. She worked for me. That's the point. She she worked She got it.  No, that's why she's not gonna make the spray There's a plan within the plan I'm gonna unfold the entire plan This is what he got going on But you got no truck you got you remember everybody to plan dc but the one He happened one lady.   I end up making some money off of but I remember you telling me like It's not about the amount of money that you put in because a lot of people think that you supposed to put in 10 $10 or $15 dollar and just make some money. No I'm going to show you what he did with the million dollars that you could do with a hundred dollars that you can do with Too hard about he stayed in it. Yeah, he stayed flipping. Flip it niggas don't know how to flip Yeah, you gotta you gotta leverage your money instead of Trying to flip your money. You know what I'm saying? So like leverage your money mean that's pretty much what he's saying like, okay So the regular nigga going like he said if you got 5,000 A person I'm like, okay. I got 5,000 to try to go make 10 all in right you know what I'm saying No, did what you posted do you supposed to use risk management? So you supposed to let just say you got five right don't use no more than one So that way you got 80 percent of your capital left just in case you fail Right, so they just say you lose that one. Cool. I got four more to go Right, but if you put in the whole five You lose 50 percent of your money now you got 2.5 left You get understand? So it's like I tell dudes use risk management And you can last long because that's going to allow you to learn too But if you keep blowing your money and over leveraging because you trying to hurry up and speed up the process One day is going to catch up to you DC, you know what else I know just about following in his page though He ain't no greeted me Like I see what you're like. Shit. I did three trades.  So I'm a when I'm training. I'm a hunter I'm I look at it as if like legit. I'm an africa gathering food for my family So We know y'all got food Anything you say about He in the bush africa, he meant like he was out there You know I'm saying In the Congo and shit like the bushes part right not the neighborhood part We know y'all lit over there. They got all kind of money and they they just fun So they think we think they still living huts and then they'll be like look at my hut and they'll be like 20 I'm thinking like ancestral right more so than anything not today All right, like thinking about like tapping into my With some Yeah, I told them I say something next time and they was like, okay, we give one more chance It ain't personal so yeah, man like uh when I'm trading I'm looking for the right setup. So, you know lions have high probability setups I don't know if you are a discovery channel, but lions have an ancient way of hunting Free female lions one will attack from the left one attack from the right one will attack from the middle And then they meet it and connect and you see how everybody you see how one is on this side One is on this side one from the back right and then that's how they take it down We use all of our weight to drag it down. So that's a high probability setup Meaning they gonna eat that night if they take that setup, right? But you notice when they show on a discovery channel that lone lion Try to go hunt by himself And just go charge that some zebras on willy nilly. He's had barely eat You feel me? So it's the same thing with trading. I'm only using high probability setups And it gotta be confluences.  I hope it go up. That's not that's you'll lose money The proper way is to learn The setups Right. So there are setups. There's about 20 of them that I know give me an example Cool. Here's one setup. That's kind of easy for you to know So it's something called the rsi relative strength index, right, right? So it shows you whether a company has fallen too hard and will potentially bounce So let's just say the level is 30 If it falls below level 30 on that graph Then it's giving you a buy indicator, correct? So a high probability setup would be if there's a floor In confluence with that level being that below 30, you know what I'm saying? So two things happen The stocks are at a floor price that it wants touching history back in the day, right? So whatever this price is you'll see Candlesticks touch it. So let's just say the price is 100 It touched 100 in in may It also touched 100 in uh, and you know, january And it also touched 100. So now I see it touched that 100 again, right in confluence With that rsi being at 30. So that's two reasons for me to get in this trade Hey, what's up man august fifth man? I'm all up in Memphis with it man flatfoot pimping. You heard me man So look here pull up on me august fifth in Memphis, Tennessee I will be at the orpheum man. I don't know who told you different But that's what it is.  You heard me.  It's your girl ex p And it's your girl's right in the call And Miami we coming to turn up. I'm excited I'm excited too. We've been long overdue for a miami show and I can't wait to see y'all It's the perfect way to kind of I guess in the summer because it's almost be over and it's like August 13th. Yeah, we're gonna be in miami miami and prop shows doors open at city show start today Yes, and i'm telling y'all look this is right before my birthday too. So y'all know i'm finna be leading In turning that I'm finna put it on for miami. I'm telling y'all listen august 13th doors open at seven show starts at eight Miami improv y'all. Please do not miss this show. Y'all know we're gonna have people popping up rolling up on us Miami it's gonna be fun. Welcome to miami So i'm miami I was 21 20 years old right so for me with that kind of money still living in the project We had to figure it out I'm not speaking for every man in If I make it to be making 200 million Nigga, I can make 200,000.  I don't took y'all everywhere.  This granddaddy man. This uh, this is what I got for my 40th I ain't do nothing to it. Usually I put forgis on everything I got Um, I ain't do nothing to this but put some music in there. You know what I'm saying Did you do the do on it? Yes, sir. Oh, you you was hitting on that joint.   Okay, right So I need confluences. I need at least two to three and if and if it's five I'm putting a lot of money when he touched that 100 again It just showed you that okay is going back up again Because because now I have proof that this level can hold because it touched before in history, right, right So that's all I'm looking for.   It's not luck. Right, right. You get I'm saying that's the point. It's not luck I'm waiting on Certain companies right to drop right As far as they can go down And when they do that I'm going to so this is what the rich do What they just did what I'm so you gotta think like the rich once you learn their game You can make a lot of money in the stock market, right? So I learned their game This is why they'll always be rich because of the stock market. What's the game? Oh my god simple They and I'm doing exactly what they did when you saw me post that 200 racks because I thought like them All right meta facebook it dropped to 84 dollars. All right, man um Tesla dropped to a hundred dollars. Right. It was like a few this was like around september-ish Right, right.  So he has to load up again You got to figure out where he's going to load up That's your goal Your goal is to figure out where are the men with the money going to load up because they're going to keep Doing it every time they're going to load up sell Let it drop load up and actually they're gonna sell the drop. They're gonna make it on money make money on the drop They sold some more They I'm telling you the stock market is meant for the rich to get richer It's a tool for the rich is not a tool for the poor.  It's the biggest Listen crypto when somebody loses They make money That money just don't disappear You get on saying so people are losing money on purpose.  So now I figured now I know where to find where they're going to buy And even with the stock market is strategic you have strategies and there's rules, right? And once you figure that like you say it's 20 rules and 20 strategies that you use And you always say that's one thing.   You just but you got to know you got to know what you're doing. Yeah Once you figure out the rules and you always say it's an 80 20 It's always a risk. Yeah, remember that you have a 20% risk That you can't lose but it's an 80% chance that you're going in What you got to know when to get out once you lose That's the game of losing. Yeah once you losing you got to know when to get out a lot of niggas be like Hold tight. Let's see what that motherfucker go. You the nigga that they he said they take the money from Let me keep my money. Yeah, when you lose you just gave somebody money gave it up If I win I I won because somebody lost I always remember that right you get on saying right not also one because I guess right but that money You get on saying like when there's a when there's a winner There's a loser when there's a loser there's a winner, right, right, so it's so much money in the market Right, right. So This is this this is all I'm saying. So this is what I figured out and I'm gonna tell you how to figure out when to buy I didn't ask that question y'all should have Here's a simple way. You think that one's gonna do it. You say wait. Yeah, wait wait on the dip. Okay Y'all remember when COVID happened in 2020, right, right, right? Okay All stocks plus the market was depleted Apple facebook google um Everything you could think of was depleted at that time Right including the market, right that that etf. I told y'all about right, right? Vo was down spy was down So I'm gonna give y'all a clue on when to buy when the market And all stock y'all got one and all stocks are down At the same time That's a clue when to buy So when the market went when something very bad happens, right, right? So what you got to do is you're not going to be able to guess the bottom So what you got to do is you got to take your money and divide that motherfucker into three So let's just say you got 30,000, right? The first drop Right whenever the market go in the rsi 10,000 right the next drop You might need 40 because that last drop you need to go you need to double down So let's just say we have 40 40 thousand right that first drop Very big got to be a significant drop all stocks everything got to drop 10,000 so when you say 10,000, what is the what is the loss the the the the game plan? You just say the game plan is 10,000 into oh good job The game plan is to invest into a lot of stocks while they're down, right? So let's just say and put options um no no no Buying buying shares buying shares the first big drop Okay, you're speaking in shares terminal share. Yep. Yep. So we buying shares. We're calling the company outright So the apple cost is apple Is a is a stock, right and it's a hundred dollars if you buy a share One share you bought it for a hundred dollars, right? So the only way you can make money is apple go to 101 right one dollar Because that's where you bought it at so you can only make money where you bought apple So if you bought apple for 80 dollars a share and it's now 100 You now have made 20 dollars a share and depending on how many shares you own You're going to make 20 times the amount of shares you own, right? Right, so So the game plan so this is what I did so when come to drop 2020 you supposed to buy that dip Right. It's a catastrophe Um, but what people didn't expect was the fact that we were going to be sitting home And people were and the government was giving us money This is what made stocks boom after 2020 because we were sitting people were sitting home and the government is handing them money So now I got the money to go buy that iphone Now I gotta watch netflix right now. I gotta watch let me tell you the stocks there went up Roku went up.   So it's just like any business That's why the stock market dropped again because once The the rich bought that dip and they took advantage of cove it from 2020 2021 after the pandemic They can't sustain the amount of money everybody made during that time So we have to correct.  We ain't spending no more money And then that gives people time to go look for jobs. So now right now We had one of the lowest unemployment rates since 1969 And the highest it was was cove it at one point of time We had like a close to 15 unemployment rate When when that when when the world went on lockdown 15 the company was unemployed. I mean country Now we're at 3.4 percent Of the other world country United States, okay, you know what I'm saying? So that means So so think about that y'all seen all these job layoffs, right? And then let me tell let me explain something to you too.  They're like a a 50 piece So that makes the stock go up Because they're going to be more profitable So once you start learning the world Learning how business work, but what helped me was start with a stock market with the fact that I owned a business In a big one at that Like a eight figure business. Yeah, so now I think like you White man Right. I'm you now. So I know when to buy So can you go back into that? Let me share we need 40,000, right? Yeah drop the first time you dunk 10,000 safe over gonna use I'll focus on the next drop if it dropped one more leg We put in we put in the 20. So say so say for this right So you say put in your buying to stop So apple was at a hundred It dropped first leg 80 80 the R side hit 80. Yep. You spent 10,000. It went to 80. It dropped again 60 Now boom you got it quote-unquote. We're gonna buy again Tell the people don't worry about losing the money on the money that you just bought For the the shares at the 80 because you technically didn't lose So here's going to come back up because I could let me let me correct this because I know how Smart asses are around the world. I'm just going to correct it. It has to be a correction Right a substantial correction. So correction is when the market falls Like 30 from the highs Right, that's a correction. Now if it falls 50 that's damn near a recession You know what I mean? Like a bad recession Terrible, but one thing about it is Every single drop In the stock market the 2008 the great depression So I'll mark them down for you 2000 and 2001.com bubble bubble Right. Mm-hmm 2008 How's the market? Yeah, right? um 2000 and like it will Not 12 but like 16 17 was trade war when when truck was doing all that with china Yeah, and then kovat 2020 and then the inflation cpi Shit is this year, but really that's just a correctional period from kovat, right? But they just going to call it something else So what you're going to notice is they always going to need bad news In order to drop the market. So now if you guys don't notice We're going to run off the stock market. We're not going to we run off the stock market meaning Everything we're doing right now runs off this system, right?  After the uh after the rich have already bought You get I'm saying okay, you tell them not to trip or When the share that you bought at 80 Drop at a 60 right because in their head they're like i'm losing money or my share's value is going down You put in a little bit just in case it's just a little correctional drop, right, right? So they just say the s and p 500 spy Corrects right it drops. So let's just say It was that 400 right Right, so it was at 480. That's the 52 week high.  I mean Now go ball deep So yeah, so so okay. Yeah, tesla, right?  I remember that this is a successful company Now we look at tesla. This bitch is at 100 200 dollars a share the people who invested at 1200 thinking Yeah, this was a And to be people like that a lot of people So I was about to say the fact when tesla dropped that 90 dollars I bought when meta dropped at 90 dollars everybody said this company is a failure He put too much money in metaverse. He's done.  So think about that You control the world So how could you bet against a person who control the world using they shit?  You got to believe in a ceo So you got to believe that the that the company is going to be innovative But you also got to get to know the ceo Get to know because I didn't know that either. I didn't know I got to know the man who owned his bitch, too To see if he got the The thought process to create something else with his money, right?  Right, right, right? Would you yes? Yeah? Yeah? So you would invest in me if I was a stock market, right? But let's just say your homie. Yeah, he got money But he a drunk he real complacent He ain't he done. He just I ain't even a rap mo. I don't want to invest in him Right, so so that's the same thing with them Okay, y'all ain't been growing in the last two years The ceo a drunk.  I haven't never seen technology taking over come on so You got to look at them the same way you look You got to look at that the same way as you look at people as companies, too, right?  I bought I bought leaps. I made 52 thousand dollars. I bought it in september I only put in 15,000 and I made 50 Yeah, about it's about at 52,000 right now. What do you mean leaps? Leaps are Good question long dated options. So I bought calls I bought calls.  Hell no, you want to see my account right now?   I bought so perfectly. It was nasty So you got to give yourself time So and and I also buy kind of in the money So that way the theta can't get ate up too much. What do you mean? So I buy Well, I buy at the money. So basically, let's just say Way over the market price. So let's just say meta was at 80 dollars, right? Right The option strike price the nearest strike price will probably be 82 or 85 I'm buying as close as I can right to the share price for my strike.  You either go in the money or at the money at the money is You know the closest tool and in the money is one that's already profitable, which would be the 80 dollar strikes The 79 dollar strikes because it's already at 80 dollars. You know what I'm saying? So that's how I avoided that. I bought super in the money So all of my shits are in the money. So that means it made my option contract go like this Because I bought meta is that is now at like 150 60 right so you doubled so I bought it at 80 So now my option contracts are so profitable that It better keep going up over time.    I'm gonna buy all the cars in the world.  That's a strike right Because I need some money You got to give up a dog this year right to goddamn So to put in these leaps because the market just dropped, right? Okay, you got to give up. I don't know.   I didn't buy mine at the price. I bought tesla knowing that it has been going Be going up. I knew the the the stock price and the ad price was right there. I went down there I went down.   All right But theta was tearing me down as it was still going up. So I was like do you believe in elan musk for the next three years Believe none of these niggas. I just didn't believe it I Why you should why you should believe in mark zuggenberg. Why you should believe in uh google you should believe in because A lot of things I look at a few things What's your cash flow like so now we got to go into fundamentals?  I go see how much free cash flow do you have? I want to see what your margins like meaning like If you made uh, so for instance apple made 117 billion But they only profited 30 billion Right, right So that means they keep 26 percent of their money So Why y'all thinking you know so that so the average person I look at that and say damn they they can only keep 26 percent of their money Look how much it costs apple to operate that so I look at all of that. How much does it cost to operate you? And and how profitable are you per quarter? So apple profited 30 billion right 26 percent Metal be profiting close to 40 percent of their money You get I'm saying so I look at all of that right okay after all expenses How much do you have left?  So dividends as well dividends is for like rich people in my opinion Or you know hot middle class, but it ain't for the broke Because you got to buy the share and then you only going to get like 50 cents 20 cents 15 cents depending depending on what stock you buy right per share Now it could be either monthly or quarterly. Yeah, right so I put with all that I learned to diversify myself and all things you can understand though Not things you can't the reason why I'm not heavy and real estate because I don't understand it Even though I've made you seen that house.  I sold it for nine Right just to get rid of it I know if I would have held it for a few more years probably at a million But what type of nigga am I to wait for a hundred grand?   What nigga am I to wait for a hundred grand? That's it on my coat. I'm not finna wait another three years I'm a visual learner. So it only took about 20 minutes once he said this what you look I thought he was one of the learners that had to put the headphones on.  You feel what I'm saying, right?  I bought that one too.
